Description

The present invention relates to a gaming machine that has a variable display and can be controlled to an advantageous state that is advantageous to a player.

In a pachinko game machine as a gaming machine, for example, after a normal jackpot occurs, the game is controlled to a normal gaming state, and the probability of a jackpot being determined is set to about 1/300, and a special drawing is executed. When a jackpot does not occur even when the number of games reaches 1000, the game state is controlled to a ceiling probability variable state, and the probability of determining a jackpot is increased to about 1/100. Furthermore, it is disclosed that when a 1000 game jackpot does not occur in the normal gaming state, a time saving state may be generated instead of the ceiling probability variable state (for example, see Patent Document 1).

Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2005-95449

There is room for improvement in a gaming machine that can control the gaming state to a special state (time-saving state) based on the number of executions of variable display, such as the gaming machine described in Patent Document 1.

The present invention was made with attention to such problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an improved gaming machine that can control the gaming state to a special state based on the number of executions of variable display. shall be.

The gaming machine according to claim 1,
A gaming machine that can be controlled to an advantageous state that is advantageous to a player by performing a variable display based on the establishment of a starting condition and making the result of the variable display a specific display result,
a firing means operated by a player to fire gaming media into a gaming area;
Display means;
When the game medium enters the starting area, it is possible to store information regarding the variable display as a suspended memory,
When information regarding the variable display is stored as a pending memory, displaying the pending display in a predetermined display area of the display means;
There is a normal state, and a special state after reaching a specific number of times, which is a state that is more advantageous than the normal state and is controlled based on a specific number of executions of variable display in which the result of variable display does not result in a specific display result,
The display means is
After reaching the specified number of times, it is possible to display an installation suggestion display indicating that the special state is installed,
The pending display displayed in the predetermined display area can be displayed in the corresponding display area as a corresponding display corresponding to the variable display being executed,
When the variable display ends, there is no pending memory corresponding to the next variable display after the variable display, and no operation of the firing means is detected, the loading suggestion display is displayed after a predetermined period of time has elapsed. death,
When the variable display ends, there is no pending memory corresponding to the next variable display after the variable display, and operation of the firing means is detected, the loading suggestion display is not displayed even after the predetermined time has elapsed. not displayed,
The position where the loading suggestion display is displayed is a position that does not overlap with the corresponding display area,
It is characterized by
According to this feature, if there is no pending memory corresponding to the variable display next to the variable display, the player has not touched the firing means, and a predetermined time has elapsed, that is, the player is not playing the game. Under such circumstances, by displaying the installation suggestion display, it is possible to show the next player, etc. that the special state is installed after reaching a certain number of times, and the next variable display after the variable display concerned can be displayed. If there is no corresponding pending memory, the player is touching the firing means, and a predetermined time has elapsed, that is, in a situation where the player is likely to continue playing, the loading suggestion display will not be displayed. By doing so, players who are operating the firing means to continue playing the game are given a change in which a loading suggestion display is displayed on the display means, which reduces interest, especially when a special state is reached after reaching a certain number of times. In order to be controlled, variable display must be performed, and displaying at a time when variable display is not performed can prevent a decrease in interest due to ironic display. As a result, a special state can be provided after reaching a suitable specific number of times.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A mode for implementing a gaming machine according to the present invention will be explained below based on the drawings.

(Characteristic part 069SG form)
(SG2020-069) The gaming machine of form 1-1 is
A gaming machine (for example, a gaming machine that can be controlled to an advantageous state advantageous to a player (for example, a jackpot gaming state) by displaying a variable display based on the establishment of a starting condition (for example, a game ball enters a starting prize opening) , a pachinko game machine 1),
A state control means (for example, the CPU 103) capable of controlling a non-special state and a special state in which the starting condition is more likely to be satisfied than the non-special state, improves the efficiency of variation between the normal state and special symbols (particularly the second special symbol). A part that can be controlled into a time-saving state A that executes time-saving control, a definite variable state, and a time-saving state B),
A determining means (for example, a part where the CPU 103 executes the jackpot determination process at step 069SGS62 in the special symbol normal process) capable of determining the control to be in the advantageous state;
Variable display pattern determining means capable of determining one variable display pattern from among a plurality of types of variable display patterns having different variable display periods based on the determination result of the determining means (for example, the CPU 103 performs the variable pattern setting in step 069SGS111). (a part in which one of multiple types of fluctuation patterns is determined based on the variable display result in the processing);
Equipped with
The special state includes a first special state (e.g., time-saving state A) that is controlled when the advantageous state controlled from the non-special state (e.g., normal state) ends, and a specific number of times (e.g., 900 times). ) a second special state (for example, time saving state B) that is controlled on the condition that the variable display of
When the variable display is not determined to be controlled to the advantageous state by the determining means, the number of variable display patterns that the variable display pattern determining means can determine in the second special state is determined in the first special state. The number of possible variable display patterns that can be determined by the CPU 103 in "time saving state B" (e.g. 2) is smaller than the number of possible variable display patterns (for example, when the variable display result is "miss", the number of losing variation patterns (for example, 2) is a portion smaller than the number of variable display patterns (e.g., 3) that can be determined in “state A” and smaller than the number (e.g., 4) of outlier fluctuation patterns that can be determined in “probable variable state”),
When the variable display is not determined to be controlled to the advantageous state by the determining means, the average period of the variable display period of the variable display pattern determined by the variable display pattern determining means in the second special state is determined by the first shorter than the average period of the variable display period of the variable display pattern determined in the special state (for example, when the variable display result is "miss", the variable display period of the variable display period of the variable display pattern determined in "time saving state B" by the CPU 103 is The average time (e.g., about 2.2 seconds) is shorter than the average time (e.g., about 5.58 seconds) of the variable display time of the outlier variation pattern determined in the "time saving state A", and the average time (e.g., about 5.58 seconds) is A portion shorter than the average time (for example, about 4.83 seconds) of the variable display time of the deviation variation pattern to be determined (see Figure 11-50),
It is characterized by
According to this feature, in the second special state that is controlled after a specific number of variable displays, the variable display for which control to the advantageous state is not determined continues for a long period of time. Since the number of types of variable display patterns is small and the average period of the variable display period is shortened, the speed of digesting the variable display is higher than in other states, so that a suitable second special state can be provided.

The gaming machine of Form 1-2 is the gaming machine described in Form 1-1,
It is possible to variably display multiple columns of decorative identification information (for example, decorative patterns displayed in decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5R, and 5C),
The start order of the variable display of the decoration identification information in each column is such that the mode of variable display of the decoration identification information is in a specific manner in the variable display in which control to the advantageous state is not determined by the determining means in the first special state. In the case where a non-specific display result is displayed without any change, and in the variable display where control to the advantageous state is not determined by the determining means in the second special state, the mode of variable display of the decorative identification information does not become the specific mode. This is common when non-specific display results are displayed.
The time it takes for the variable display speed of the decoration identification information of each column that started variable display to reach the maximum speed is the time required for the variable display speed of the decorative identification information of each column to reach the maximum speed. Decorative identification when the mode of variable display of identification information is not a specific mode and a non-specific display result is displayed, and when the variable display is not determined to be controlled to the advantageous state by the determining means in the second special state. The mode of variable display of information is different from the case where a non-specific display result is displayed without a specific mode (for example, the start order of the variable display of decorative symbols in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5R, and 5C is variable). The state is common to the case where the non-reach variable pattern is in the time-saving state A and the case where the non-reach variable pattern is the non-reach variable pattern in the time-saving state B, but the decorative patterns in the decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5R, and 5C are the highest. The time required to reach the speed is shorter in time-saving state B than in variable variable state and time-saving state A (tb1 to tb2 < ta1 to ta3; see Figure 11-51).
It is characterized by
According to this feature, while the first special state and the second special state have the same variable display start order of the decoration identification information in each column, the time required to reach the maximum speed is different, so that the state You can increase interest by giving a different impression each time.

The gaming machine of Embodiment 1-3 is the gaming machine described in Embodiment 1-1 or Embodiment 1-2,
It is possible to variably display multiple columns of decorative identification information (for example, decorative patterns),
The order in which the variable display of the decorative identification information in each column is stopped is such that the mode of the variable display of the decorative identification information is in a specific manner in the variable display for which control to the advantageous state is not determined by the determining means in the first special state. In the case where a non-specific display result is displayed without any change, and in the variable display where control to the advantageous state is not determined by the determining means in the second special state, the mode of variable display of the decorative identification information does not become the specific mode. (For example, the order of stopping the variable display of decorative symbols in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5R, and 5C is different in the case where non-specific display results are displayed in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5R, and 5C. If there is, the parts are stopped and displayed in the order of left → right → middle, and if the non-reach is a fluctuation pattern in time saving state B, the left, middle, and right are stopped and displayed at the same time (see Figure 11-51).
It is characterized by
According to this feature, since the variable display stop order of the decoration identification information in each column is different between the first special state and the second special state, it is possible to give a different impression for each state and increase interest.

The gaming machine of Form 1-4 is the gaming machine according to any one of Forms 1-1 to 1-3,
It is possible to variably display multiple columns of decorative identification information (for example, decorative patterns),
The order in which the variable display of the decorative identification information in each column is stopped is such that the mode of the variable display of the decorative identification information is in a specific manner in the variable display for which control to the advantageous state is not determined by the determining means in the first special state. In the case where a non-specific display result is displayed without any change, and in the variable display where control to the advantageous state is not determined by the determining means in the second special state, the mode of variable display of the decorative identification information does not become the specific mode.

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

(Configuration of pachinko machine 1, etc.)
FIG. 1 is a front view of a pachinko gaming machine 1, showing the layout of the main components. A pachinko game machine (game machine) 1 is roughly divided into a game board (gauge board) 2 that constitutes a game board surface, and a game machine frame (base frame) 3 that supports and fixes the game board 2. A game area is formed on the game board 2, and a game ball as a game medium is fired from a predetermined ball launcher into this game area.

In addition, "variable display" of special symbols means, for example, to display a plurality of types of special symbols in a variable manner (the same applies to other symbols described later). The variations include updated display of a plurality of symbols, scroll display of a plurality of symbols, deformation of one or more symbols, enlargement/reduction of one or more symbols, and the like. In the variation of special symbols and normal symbols described below, a plurality of types of special symbols or normal symbols are updated and displayed. In the variation of decorative patterns described below, a plurality of types of decorative patterns are scrolled or updated, or one or more decorative patterns are deformed or enlarged/reduced. Incidentally, 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 the variable display of other symbols described later). Note that the variable display may be expressed as variable display or fluctuation.

The special symbol variably displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A is also referred to as a “first special symbol”, and the special symbol variably displayed on the second special symbol display device 4B is also referred to as a “second special symbol”. Further, a special map game using the first special map is also referred to as a "first special map game", and a special map game using the second special map is also referred to as a "second special map game". In addition, the number of special symbol display devices that perform variable display of special symbols may be one type.

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), an organic EL (electro luminescence), or the like, and displays various effect images. The image display device 5 may include a projector and a screen. The image display device 5 displays various effect images.

A variable display is performed. Here, in synchronization with the first special figure game or the second special figure game, decorative figures are displayed variably (for example, up and down direction (scroll display and update display). In addition, the special figure game and the variable display of decorative symbols that are executed synchronously are collectively referred to as simply variable display.

A display area may be provided on the screen of the image display device 5 for displaying a pending display corresponding to a variable display whose execution is pending, and an active display corresponding to a variable display currently being executed. The pending display and the active display are collectively referred to as a variable display compatible display corresponding to the variable display.

The number of pending variable displays is also called the number of pending memories. The number of pending memories corresponding to the first special figure game is also referred to as the first number of pending memories, and the number of pending memories corresponding to the second special figure game is also referred to as the second number of pending memories. The sum of the first number of pending memories and the second number of pending memories is also referred to as the total number of pending memories.

A first hold indicator 25A and a second hold indicator 25B each including a plurality of LEDs are provided at predetermined positions on the game board 2. The first hold display 25A displays the number of first hold memories based on the number of lit LEDs.

When a game ball enters the first starting winning hole, a predetermined number (for example, three) of winning balls are paid out, and the first special symbol game can be started.

The variable prize winning ball device 6B (normal electric accessory) forms a second starting prize opening 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 pieces, and when the solenoid 81 is in the OFF state, the movable pieces are in a vertical position, so that the tip of the movable piece becomes the winning ball. It approaches the device 6A and enters a closed state in which the game ball does not enter the second starting prize opening (also referred to as the second starting winning opening enters a closed state). On the other hand, when the solenoid 81 is in the ON state, the movable piece of the variable winning ball device 6B is in the tilted position, so that the variable winning ball device 6B enters an open state in which the game ball can enter the second starting winning opening (second starting winning opening). It is also said that the mouth becomes open.) When the game ball enters the second starting winning hole, a predetermined number (for example, three) of winning balls are paid out, and the second special symbol game can be started. The variable winning ball device 6B may be any device that can change between a closed state and an open state, and is not limited to one that includes an electric tulip type accessory.

At predetermined positions on the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 1, three locations on the lower left side of the game area and one location above the variable winning ball device 6B), there are always kept in a constant open state by predetermined ball receiver members.

The special variable winning ball device 7 is equipped with a big winning hole door that is driven to open and close by a solenoid 82 (see FIG. 3), and has a big winning hole as a specific area that changes between an open state and a closed state by the big winning hole door. Form.

As an example, in the special variable winning ball device 7, when the solenoid 82 for the big winning hole door (special electric accessory) is in the OFF state, the big winning hole door closes the big winning hole, and the game ball is You will not be able to enter (pass through) the prize opening. On the other hand, in the special variable winning ball device 7, when the solenoid 82 for the big winning hole door is in the on state, the big winning hole door opens the big winning hole so that the game ball can easily enter the big winning hole. Become.

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

Entering the game ball into each winning hole including the general winning hole 10 is also referred to as "winning". In particular, winning in the 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 on the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 1, at the lower left of the game area). As an example, the normal symbol display 20 is composed of a 7-segment LED, etc., and performs variable display of normal symbols as multiple types of normal identification information different from special symbols. The normal symbols are represented by numbers indicating "0" to "9" and lighting patterns such as "-". The normal pattern may include a pattern in which all LEDs are turned off. This variable display of ordinary symbols is also called a ordinary symbol game.

FIG. 2 is a rear perspective view of the pachinko gaming machine 1. A main board 11 housed in a board case 201 is mounted on the back of the pachinko game machine 1. The main board 11 is provided with a setting key 51 and a setting changeover switch 52. 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 jackpot and the batting rate in a setting change state. The setting key 51 and the setting changeover switch 52 may be attached to the outside of the main board 11, for example, at a predetermined position on the power supply board 17.

A display monitor 29 is arranged at 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 the back side of the game board 2 is viewed with the gaming machine frame 3 open.

The display monitor 29 can display winning information such as consecutive ratios, winning ratios, and bases. The consecutive ratio is the ratio of the number of prize balls that land in the big prize opening (attacker) out of the total number of prize balls. The winning ratio is the ratio of the number of prize balls that land in the second starting prize opening (electronic chew) and the number of prize balls that land in the grand prize opening (attacker) out of the total number of prize balls. The base is the ratio of the total number of prize balls to the number of game balls launched. When in the setting change state or setting confirmation state, the display monitor 29 can display the setting values in the pachinko gaming machine 1. The display monitor 29 only needs to be capable of displaying setting values to be changed or checked when the settings are changed or checked.

The security cover 50A is a substantially L-shaped member including a short piece 50Aa and a long piece 50Ab, and may be made of transparent synthetic resin.

(Outline of game progress)
When a player rotates a ball-hitting operation handle 30 provided in the pachinko game machine 1, a game ball is launched toward a game area. When the game ball passes through the passage gate 41, the normal pattern display 20 starts the normal pattern game. In addition, if the game ball passes through the passage gate 41 during the period during which the previous Fuzu game was being executed (the game ball passed through the passing gate 41, but the Fuzu game based on the passage cannot be executed immediately), , the game based on the passage is suspended up to a predetermined upper limit (for example, 4).

In this general pattern game, if a specific normal pattern (a pattern per normal pattern) is stopped and displayed, the display result of the normal pattern becomes ``a common pattern hit''. On the other hand, if a normal symbol other than the ordinary symbol (ordinary symbol missed symbol) is stopped and displayed as a confirmed ordinary symbol, the display result of the ordinary symbol becomes "ordinary symbol missed". When it becomes a "normal map hit", opening control is performed to keep the variable winning ball device 6B open for a predetermined period of time (the second starting winning opening is brought into the open state).

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

In addition, if the game ball enters the starting winning hole (winning) during the period when the special drawing game is being executed or during the period when the jackpot game state described below is being controlled (a starting winning has occurred, but based on the starting winning If the special figure game cannot be executed immediately), the execution of the special figure game based on the entry is suspended until a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4).

In the special pattern game, if a specific special pattern (a jackpot pattern, e.g. "7", the actual pattern differs depending on the jackpot type described later) is stopped and displayed as a confirmed special pattern, it becomes a "jackpot" and the jackpot pattern If a special symbol (missing symbol, for example "-") different from the above is stopped and displayed, it becomes a "missing" symbol. It should be noted that the "loss" in this pachinko game machine 1 includes the "loss with time saving" which 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 figure game becomes a "jackpot", the game is controlled to be in a jackpot 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 determined by the timing when a predetermined period of time (for example, 29 seconds or 1.8 seconds) elapses, or the timing until the number of game balls that enter the grand prize opening reaches a predetermined number (for example, 9 balls). This will continue until the earliest of the two. The predetermined period is the upper limit period during which the big prize opening can be opened in one round, and hereinafter also referred to as the upper limit opening period. One cycle in which the big prize opening is opened in this way is called a round (round game). In the jackpot game state, the round can be executed repeatedly until it reaches a predetermined upper limit number of times (15 times or 2 times).

In the jackpot game state, the player can receive a prize ball by entering the game ball into the jackpot opening. Therefore, the jackpot gaming state is an advantageous state for the player. The greater the number of rounds in the jackpot gaming state and the longer the open upper limit period, the more advantageous it is for the player.

Incidentally, the jackpot type is set in "jackpot". For example, we prepare multiple types of opening modes for the jackpot (number of rounds and maximum opening period) and gaming states after the jackpot gaming state (normal state, time-saving state, variable probability state, etc.), and set the jackpot type accordingly. has been done. As the jackpot types, there may be provided a jackpot type in which many prize balls can be obtained, a jackpot type in which few prize balls can be obtained, or a jackpot type in which few prize balls can be obtained.

After the jackpot gaming state ends, depending on the above-mentioned jackpot type, it may be controlled to a time saving state or a variable probability state.

In the time-saving state, control (time-saving control) is executed to shorten the average special symbol variation time (period for varying the special symbol) compared to the normal state. In the short time state, by shortening the average fluctuation time (period for changing the general pattern) than in the normal state, and by increasing the probability of hitting the normal pattern in the general drawing game compared to the normal state, etc. Control (high opening control, high base control) that makes it easier for game balls to enter the second starting prize opening is also executed. The time saving state is a state in which the variation efficiency of the special symbols (especially the second special symbol) is improved, so it is an advantageous state for the player.

In the variable probability state (probability variable state), in addition to the time saving control, variable probability control is executed in which the probability that the displayed result is a "jackpot" is higher than in the normal state. The variable probability state is a state that is more advantageous to the player because it improves the efficiency of changing the special symbols and is also a state where it is easy to hit the jackpot.

The time saving state and the variable probability state continue until any one of the end conditions is satisfied first, such as the execution of the special figure game a specific number of times and the start of the next jackpot game state. A game in which the termination condition is that the special figure game has been executed a specific number of times is also referred to as a number-cutting (time-saving number-cutting, variable number-cutting probability, etc.).

A normal state is a gaming 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, or a variable probability state, and the display result in the Fuzu game is "Fuzu hit". The pachinko game machine 1, such as the probability and the probability that the display result in the special figure game will be a "jackpot", is set to the initial setting state of the pachinko game machine 1 (for example, when a system reset is performed, a predetermined return after the power is turned on). This state is controlled in the same way as when no processing is executed).

A state in which variable probability control is being executed is also referred to as a high probability state, and a state in which variable probability control is not executed is also referred to as a low probability state. A state in which time saving control is being executed is also referred to as a high base state, and a state in which time saving control is not being executed is also referred to as a low base state. Combining these, the time saving state is also called a low certainty/high base state, the variable probability state is also called a high certainty/high base state, the normal state is also called a low certainty/low base state, etc. The high certainty state and low base state is also referred to as the high certainty low base state.

Incidentally, the gaming state may change based on the game ball passing through a specific area (for example, a specific area within the big winning opening) during the jackpot gaming state. For example, when the game ball passes through a specific area, the control may be changed to a variable probability state after the jackpot game state.

(Progress of production, etc.)
In the pachinko game machine 1, various effects (effects for notifying the progress of the game or for enlivening the game) are executed according to the progress of the game. The performance will be explained below. The effect is performed by displaying various effect images on the image display device 5, but in addition to or in place of the display, audio output from the speakers 8L and 8R and the game effect lamp 9 are performed. It may be performed as an effect using lighting or extinguishing of the lights, movement of the movable body 32, or any effect device including some or all of these.

As a performance executed according to the progress of the game, the "left", "middle", "right" decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R provided on the image display device 5 display the first special pattern game or the first special pattern display area 5L, 5C, and 5R. 2. Corresponding to the start of the special figure game, variable display of decorative symbols is started. At the timing when the display result (also referred to as a fixed special pattern) is stopped and displayed in the first special pattern game or the second special pattern game, the fixed decorative pattern (a combination of three decorative patterns) that is the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern ) is also stopped and displayed (derived).

During the period from when the variable display of the decorative symbols starts until it ends, the mode of the variable display of the decorative symbols may become a predetermined reach mode (reach is established). Here, the reach mode refers to the variable display of decorative symbols that are not yet displayed while the decorative symbols that are stopped and displayed on the screen of the image display device 5 form part of a jackpot combination that will be described later. This refers to the manner in which the situation continues.

Furthermore, a ready-to-win effect is executed in response to the above-mentioned ready-to-win mode being set during the variable display of the decorative symbols. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, the percentage of display results (display results of special pattern games and display results of variable display of decorative symbols) becoming a "jackpot" (also referred to as jackpot reliability or jackpot expectation level) is determined depending on the performance mode. A plurality of different types of reach effects are executed. The reach performance includes, for example, normal reach and super reach, which has higher jackpot reliability than normal reach.

When the display result of the special figure game becomes a "jackpot", a fixed decorative pattern that becomes a predetermined jackpot combination is derived as a display result of the variable display of decorative patterns on the screen of the image display device 5 (decorative pattern). The display result of the variable display of symbols is a "jackpot"). As an example, the same decorative symbols (for example, "7", etc.) are all stopped and displayed on predetermined valid lines in the "left", "middle", and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R. .

In the case of a "probable variable jackpot" that is controlled to a variable probability state after the end of the jackpot gaming state, odd-numbered decorative symbols (for example, "7", etc.) are stopped and displayed, and the variable probability state is changed after the jackpot gaming state ends. In the case of an uncontrolled "uncertain variable jackpot (normal jackpot)", even-numbered decorative symbols (for example, "6", etc.) may be stopped and displayed all together. In this case, the odd-numbered decorative patterns are also referred to as variable probability patterns, and the even-numbered decorative patterns are also referred to as non-probable variable patterns (normal patterns). After reaching the reach mode with non-probability variable symbols, a promotion performance that ultimately becomes a "probability variable jackpot" may be executed.

When the display result of the special pattern game is "miss", the mode of variable display of the decorative pattern does not become the reach mode, and the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern is a fixed decorative pattern (" ) may be stopped and displayed (the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern may be "non-reach out"). In addition, if the display result is "miss", after the variable display mode of the decorative pattern becomes the reach mode, the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern is a predetermined reach combination that is not a jackpot combination ("reach is off"). '') may be displayed in a stopped state (the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern may be "out of reach").

The performances that can be performed by the pachinko gaming machine 1 also include displaying the above-mentioned variable display compatible display (pending display and active display). In addition, as other effects, for example, a preview effect that foretells the reliability of the jackpot is executed during the variable display of the decorative symbols. The preview performance includes a preview performance that foretells the reliability of a jackpot in a variable display that is currently being executed, and a preview performance that foretells the reliability of a jackpot in a variable display before execution (a variable display whose execution is pending). As the pre-read preview performance, a performance that changes the display mode of the variable display compatible display (suspended display or active display) to a different mode than usual may be performed.

In addition, in the image display device 5, by temporarily stopping the decorative pattern during the variable display of the decorative pattern and then restarting the variable display, one variable display can be made to appear pseudo as multiple variable displays. A pseudo-continuous performance may also be executed.

Even during the jackpot game state, a jackpot performance for notifying the jackpot game state is executed. As the jackpot performance, a performance that notifies the number of rounds or a promotion performance that indicates that the value of the jackpot game state is improved may be executed.

Further, for example, when a special figure game or the like is not being executed, a demonstration image is displayed on the image display device 5 (a 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, an audio control board 13, a lamp control board 14, a relay board 15, etc. as shown in FIG. 3, for example. In addition, various boards such as a payout control board, an information terminal board, a firing control board, etc. are arranged on the back side of the pachinko game machine 1. Furthermore, a power supply board 17 is also mounted. Various control boards are not only electronic circuit boards such as printed wiring boards with conductor patterns on which electrical components can be mounted, but also electronic circuit boards that are configured to have electrical components mounted on them to achieve specific electrical functions. This concept includes electronic circuit mounting boards.

A power switch 91 is connected to the power supply board 17, and by operating the power switch 91 (turning it on), power from an AC power source such as AC 100V in an external power supply such as a commercial power supply is transferred to the power supply board 17. It can be supplied to electrical components including various control boards such as the main board 11 and the production 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 direct current voltage into a specific direct current voltage (for example, 12 V direct current, 5 V direct current, etc.), etc. We are prepared.

The main board 11 is a control board on the main side, and includes the progress of the above-mentioned games in the pachinko gaming machine 1 (execution of the special drawing game (including management of reservations), execution of the general drawing game (including management of reservations), jackpot, etc. It has a function to control the gaming state, gaming state, etc.). The main board 11 includes a game control microcomputer 100, a switch circuit 110, a solenoid circuit 111, and the like.

The CPU 103 performs processing for controlling the progress of the game (processing for realizing the functions of the main board 11) by executing a program stored in the ROM 101. At this time, various data stored in the ROM 101 (variation patterns described later, production 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 serves as a backup RAM in which the stored contents are saved for a predetermined period even if the power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is stopped, in part or in whole. Note that all or part of the program stored in the ROM 101 may be loaded into the RAM 102 and executed on the RAM 102.

The random number circuit 104 updatesably counts numerical data indicating various random numbers (gaming random numbers) used when controlling the progress of the game. The gaming random number may be updated by the CPU 103 executing a predetermined computer program (updated by software).

The I/O 105 includes, for example, an input port into which various signals (detection signals to be 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 pending). It is configured to include an output port for transmitting a signal for controlling (driving) the display 25A, the second hold display 25B, the ordinary card hold display 25C, etc., and a solenoid drive signal.

The switch circuit 110 receives detection signals (when a game ball passes or A detection signal indicating that the switch has entered and the switch has been turned on) is taken in and transmitted 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.

A reset signal, a power-off signal, and a clear signal from the power supply board 17 are taken into the switch circuit 110 and transmitted to the game control microcomputer 100. The reset signal is an operation stop signal for stopping the operation of a control circuit such as the game control microcomputer 100, and can be output using either a power supply monitoring circuit, a watchdog timer built-in IC, or a system reset IC. Good to have. The power-off signal becomes an OFF state when a predetermined power supply voltage used in the pachinko game machine 1 exceeds a predetermined value, and becomes an ON state when a period in which the predetermined power supply voltage is below a predetermined value continues for a power-off reference time or longer. Become. 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 sends a solenoid drive signal (for example, a signal to turn on the solenoid 81 and the solenoid 82) from the game control microcomputer 100 to the solenoid 81 for the normal electric accessory and the solenoid 82 for the big prize opening door. Transmit.

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 board 11. The door opening sensor 90 detects opening of the gaming machine frame 3 including the glass door frame 3a.

The main board 11 (game control microcomputer 100) is a production control board that sends production control commands (commands that specify (notify) the progress of the game, etc.) according to the progress of the game as part of the control of the progress of the game. Supply to 12. The production control command output from the main board 11 is relayed by the relay board 15 and supplied to the production control board 12. The performance control command includes, for example, various decision results on the main board 11 (for example, display results of the special figure game (including jackpot type), fluctuation patterns used when executing the special figure game (details will be described later), etc. )), game status (for example, start and end of variable display, opening status of big prize opening, occurrence of winnings, number of pending memories, game status), occurrence of errors, etc. are included.

The production control board 12 is a sub-side control board independent of the main board 11, and receives production control commands and performs production (various productions according to the progress of the game) based on the received production control commands. It has a function of executing various notifications (including various notifications such as driving the movable body 32, notification of errors, notification of power outage recovery, etc.).

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 production control CPU 120 executes a program stored in the ROM 121 to perform processing together with the display control unit 123 to execute the production (processing for realizing the above-mentioned functions of the production control board 12; (including decisions, 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 the main memory.

The performance control CPU 120 displays execution of the performance based on detection signals from the controller sensor unit 35A and the push sensor 35B (a signal that is output when an operation by a player is detected, and a signal that appropriately indicates the content of the operation). The control unit 123 may also be instructed.

The display control unit 123 includes a VDP (Video Display Processor), a CGROM (Character Generator ROM), a VRAM (Video RAM), etc., and executes a performance based on a performance execution instruction from the performance 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 a performance execution instruction from the performance control CPU 120. The display control unit 123 further supplies a sound designation signal (a signal that designates the sound to be output) to the sound control board 13 in order to output sound in synchronization with the display of the effect images and turn on/off the game effect lamps 9. or supplies a lamp signal (a signal specifying the lighting/extinguishing mode of the lamp) to the lamp control board 14. Further, the display control unit 123 supplies a signal for operating the movable body 32 to the movable body 32 or a drive circuit that drives the movable body 32.

The audio control board 13 is equipped with various circuits that drive the speakers 8L and 8R, and drives the speakers 8L and 8R based on the sound designation signal, and outputs the sound specified by the sound designation signal from the speakers 8L and 8R. let

The lamp control board 14 is equipped with various circuits that drive the game effect lamps 9, drives the game effect lamps 9 based on the lamp signals, and turns on/off the game effect lamps 9 in a manner specified by the lamp signals. do. In this way, the display control unit 123 controls the audio output and the lighting/extinguishing of the lamp.

Note that the production control CPU 120 executes audio output, control of lamp lighting/extinguishing (supply of sound designation signals and lamp signals, etc.), and control of the movable body 32 (supply of signals for operating the movable body 32, etc.) You can do it like this.

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

The I/O 125 mounted on the production control board 12 is an input port for receiving production control commands transmitted from the main board 11, for example, and for transmitting various signals (video signal, sound designation signal, lamp signal). It consists of an output port and an output port.

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

(motion)
Next, the operation (function) of the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be explained.

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

In the game control main process shown in FIG. 4, the CPU 103 first sets interrupts to be prohibited (step S1). Next, necessary initial settings are performed (step S2). The initial settings include stack pointer settings, register settings for built-in devices (CTC (counter/timer circuit), parallel input/output ports, etc.), settings to make the RAM 102 accessible, and the like.

Next, it is determined whether the recovery conditions are satisfied (step S3). The recovery condition can be satisfied when the clear signal is off, there is backup data, and the backup RAM is normal. If, for example, a clear switch provided on the power supply board 17 is pressed when power supply to the pachinko game machine 1 is started, an on-state clear signal 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 recovery condition is not satisfied. It is sufficient that the backup data can be stored in the RAM 102, which serves 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 the recovery conditions can be met.

If the recovery condition is satisfied (step S3; Yes), the setting confirmation process (step S5) is executed after executing the recovery process (step S4). Through the recovery process in step S4, a work area is set based on the storage contents of the RAM 102. By setting the work area using the backup data stored in the RAM 102, the gaming state can be restored to the state it was in when the power supply stopped. For example, if the special symbols are changing, the special symbol can be changed from the state before the stoppage. It is sufficient if the fluctuation of the symbols can be resumed.

If the recovery condition is not satisfied (step S3; No), initialization processing (step S6) is performed, and then setting change processing (step S7) is performed. The initialization process in step S6 includes a clear process 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 process.

In the setting confirmation process of step S5, it is determined whether predetermined setting confirmation conditions are satisfied. The setting confirmation condition is satisfied, for example, when the detection signal from the door open sensor 90 is on and the setting key 51 is turned on when power supply is started. The setting confirmation process in step S5 is executed when the recovery conditions including that the clear signal is in the OFF state are 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.

If the setting confirmation conditions are satisfied in the setting confirmation process in step S5, the setting confirmation state is reached in which the setting values set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 can be confirmed, and the settings are changed from the main board 11 to the performance control board 12. A confirmation start command is sent. In the setting confirmation state, the setting values set in the pachinko gaming 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 production control board 12.

When the pachinko game machine 1 is in the setting confirmation state, it may be in a game stop state in which the progress of the game in the pachinko game machine 1 is stopped. When the game is in the stopped state, firing of game balls by operating the batting operation handle, detection of game balls by various switches, etc. are stopped, and the first special symbol display device 4A, second special symbol display device 4B, and normal symbols are stopped. The display 20 may be controlled to stop displaying losing symbols or the like, or to display a display corresponding to a game stop state different from losing symbols. When the setting confirmation state ends, the accompanying game stop state may also end.

In the setting change process of step S7, it is determined whether predetermined setting change conditions are satisfied. The setting change condition is satisfied, for example, when the detection signal from the door open sensor 90 is on and the setting key 51 is turned on when power supply is started. The setting change condition may include that the clear signal is in the on state.

If the setting change conditions are satisfied in the setting change process in step S7, the setting change state is entered in which the setting values set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 can be changed, and the settings are changed from the main board 11 to the performance control board 12. A start change command is sent. In the setting change state, the setting value is displayed on the display monitor 29, and the numerical value displayed on the display monitor 29 is sequentially updated and displayed every time an operation of the setting changeover switch 52 is detected. Thereafter, based on the setting key 51 being turned off by an operation by an attendant at the game parlor, etc., the setting value displayed on the display monitor 29 is stored (updated storage) in the backup area of the RAM 102, and the setting value displayed on the display monitor 29 is stored (updated storage). Turn off the light. When ending the setting change state, a setting change end command is transmitted from the main board 11 to the production control board 12.

When the pachinko game machine 1 is in the setting change state, the pachinko game machine 1 may be placed in the game stop state, similar to when it is in the setting confirmation state. When the setting change state ends, the accompanying game stop state may also end.

On the production control board 12 side, when receiving the setting confirmation start command or the setting change start command, control may be performed to notify that the setting is being confirmed 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 a game effect lamp 9 may be caused to emit light in a predetermined manner.

The clear signal is turned on, for example, by pressing down a clear switch provided on the power supply board 17. 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, then if the clear switch is on, the initialization process of step S6 and step The setting change process in S7 is executed to enable control to the setting change state, and if the clear switch is off, the recovery process in step S4 and the setting confirmation process in step S5 are executed to enable control to the setting confirmation state. When power supply is started, if the detection signal from the door open sensor 90 is off or the setting key 51 is off, the initialization process of step S6 is executed if the clear switch is on. However, if the clear switch is off, the recovery process in step S4 is executed, but 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 to initialize the random number circuit 104 (step S8). Then, the register of the CTC built in the game control microcomputer 100 is set so that a timer interrupt is periodically generated every predetermined time (for example, 2 ms) (step S9), and the interrupt is permitted (step S10). ). After that, loop processing begins. Thereafter, an interrupt request signal is sent from the CTC to the CPU 103 at predetermined intervals (for example, 2 ms), and the CPU 103 can periodically execute timer interrupt processing.

The CPU 103, which has executed such game control main processing, receives the interrupt request signal from the CTC and, upon accepting the interrupt request, executes the game control timer interrupt processing shown in the flowchart of FIG. When starting the game control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. It is determined whether detection signals are received from various switches such as the switch 22B and the count switch 23 (step S21). Next, by executing a predetermined main-side error process, the pachinko gaming machine 1 is diagnosed for abnormality, and a warning can be issued if necessary according to the diagnosis result (step S22). Thereafter, by executing a predetermined information output process, for example, jackpot information (information indicating the number of jackpot occurrences, etc.) and starting information (starting Data such as information indicating the number of winnings, etc.) and probability fluctuation information (information indicating the number of times the probability variable state has been reached, etc.) are output (step S23).

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

Following the special symbol process, the normal symbol process is executed (step S26). The CPU 103 executes the normal pattern process processing for each timer interrupt, thereby managing execution and suspension of the normal pattern game based on the detection signal from the gate switch 21 (based on the passing of the game ball to the passing gate 41), This makes it possible to control the opening of the variable winning ball device 6B based on the "normal map hit". The normal pattern game is executed by driving the normal pattern display 20, and the number of normal patterns pending is displayed by lighting the normal pattern pending display 25C.

After executing the normal symbol process processing, processing when a power outage occurs, processing for paying out prize balls, etc. may be performed as part of the game control timer interrupt processing. After that, the CPU 103 executes command control processing (step S27). The CPU 103 may set transmission control commands in each of the above processes. In the command control process of step S27, a process is performed in which the effect control command set for transmission is transmitted to a sub-side control board such as the effect control board 12. After executing the command control process, interrupts are permitted, and then the game control timer interrupt process is ended.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart 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, the CPU 103 first executes a starting winning determination process (step S101).

In the starting winning determination process, a process is executed to detect the occurrence of a starting winning, store pending information in a predetermined area of the RAM 102, and update the pending storage number. When a starting prize occurs, a random number value for determining the display result (including the type of jackpot) and fluctuation pattern is extracted and stored as pending information. Furthermore, processing for pre-reading and determining display results and fluctuation patterns may be performed based on the extracted random numbers. After storing the pending information and the number of pending memories, transmission settings are made to the production control board 12 to send a production control command for specifying the occurrence of a starting prize, the number of pending memories, and judgment results such as pre-reading judgment. be exposed. The performance control command at the time of start winning that is set to be transmitted is transferred from the main board 11 to the performance control board 12 by, for example, executing the command control process in step S27 shown in FIG. 4 after the special symbol process process is completed. transmitted to.

After executing the starting winning determination process in step S101, the CPU 103 selects and executes any of the processes in steps S110 to S120 according to the value of the special symbol process flag provided in the RAM 102. In addition, in each process (steps S110 to S120) of the special symbol process process, transmission settings are made to transmit the performance control command corresponding to each process to the performance control board 12.

The special symbol normal process in step S110 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is "0" (initial value). In this special symbol normal processing, 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 reservation information. In addition, in the special symbol normal processing, based on the random number value for determining the display result, the display result determines whether or not the display result of the special symbol or decorative symbol is a "jackpot" and if it is a "jackpot", the jackpot type. is determined (predetermined) before it is derived and displayed. Further, in the special symbol normal processing, a confirmed special symbol (either a jackpot symbol or a losing symbol) to be stopped and displayed in the special symbol game is set in accordance with the determined display result. After that, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to "1", and the special symbol normal processing ends. Note that the special pattern game using the second special pattern may be executed with priority over the special pattern game using the first special pattern (also referred to as special pattern 2 priority play). Further, the winning order of the game balls in the first starting winning hole and the second starting winning hole may be stored, and the starting conditions for the special figure game may be established in the winning order (also referred to as winning order completion).

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

The variation pattern setting process in step S111 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "1". This fluctuation pattern setting process includes a process of determining one of multiple types of fluctuation patterns using a random value for determining the fluctuation pattern, based on the pre-determined result of whether or not the display result is a "jackpot". It is included. 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 includes the execution time of the special figure game (special figure variation time) (also the execution time of the variable display of decorative symbols), the variable display mode of the ornamental symbols (the presence or absence of reach, etc.), and the variable display period of the decorative symbols. It specifies the content of the performance (type of reach performance, etc.), and is also called a variable display pattern.

The special symbol variation process in step S112 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is "2". This special symbol variation process includes a process of making settings for varying the special symbol in the first special symbol display device 4A and second special symbol display device 4B, and the elapsed time since the special symbol started to fluctuate. It includes processes such as measuring. It is also determined whether the measured elapsed time has reached the special figure fluctuation time corresponding to the fluctuation pattern. Then, when the elapsed time after starting the variation of the special symbol reaches the special symbol variation time, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to "3" and the special symbol variation process ends.

The special symbol stop process in step S113 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is "3". In this special symbol stopping process, the fluctuation of the special symbol is stopped in the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B, and the finalized special symbol that becomes the display result of the special symbol is stopped and displayed (derived). Contains processing to configure settings for Then, when the display result is a "jackpot", the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "4". When the display result is "lost", the game state is also updated when the time saving state or the variable probability state is controlled, and when the end of the number cut is established. When the value of the special symbol process flag is updated, the special symbol stop processing ends.

The jackpot opening preprocessing in step S114 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "4". This jackpot opening pre-processing includes processing to start a round in the jackpot game state and set the jackpot opening state based on the display result being a "jackpot", etc. It is. When the big winning opening is opened, a process is executed to supply a solenoid drive signal to the solenoid 82 for the big winning opening door. At this time, for example, depending on the jackpot type, the opening upper limit period for keeping the jackpot open and the upper limit number of rounds to be executed are set. When these settings are completed, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "5", and the jackpot release preprocessing is completed.

The jackpot opening process in step S115 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "5". This jackpot opening process includes a process of measuring the elapsed time since the jackpot opening is opened, and based on the measured elapsed time and the number of game balls detected by the count switch 23, the jackpot opening This includes processing for determining whether it is time to return the switch from an open state to a closed state. Then, when returning the big prize opening to the closed state, after executing a process such as stopping the supply of the solenoid drive signal to the solenoid 82 for the big winning opening door, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "6", The jackpot opening process ends.

The jackpot opening process in step S116 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "6". This jackpot opening process includes a process to determine whether the number of rounds to open the jackpot has reached the set upper limit number of runs, and a process to enter the jackpot game state when the upper limit number of runs has been reached. This includes processing to make settings for terminating the process. When the number of executions of the round has not reached the upper limit number of executions, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "5", while when the number of executions of the round has reached the upper limit number of executions, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "5". The value is updated to "7". When the value of the special figure process flag is updated, the jackpot release post-processing ends.

The jackpot end process in step S117 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "7". This jackpot ending process includes a process of waiting until the waiting time corresponding to the period in which the ending performance is executed as a performance operation to notify the end of the jackpot gaming state, and a process of waiting until the waiting time corresponding to the end of the jackpot gaming state has changed. It includes processing to perform various settings for starting control and time-saving control. When such settings are made, 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 ball hitting rate change depending on the set value. For example, in the special symbol normal processing of the special symbol process processing, by using a display result determination table (winning probability) according to the set value, the jackpot winning probability and ball launch rate are changed. For example, the set value has six levels from 1 to 6, where 6 has the highest probability of winning the jackpot, and as the value decreases in the order of 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1, the probability of winning the jackpot decreases. In this example, when 6 is set as the setting value, it is the highest advantage for the player, and as the value decreases in the order of 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1, the advantage gradually decreases. . If the probability of winning a jackpot changes according to the set value, the ball launch rate may also change according to the set value. While the probability of winning a jackpot is constant regardless of the set value, the number of rounds in the jackpot game state may vary depending on the set value. The pachinko gaming machine 1 may be configured to be able to set any one of a plurality of setting values that have different degrees of advantage for the player. The setting values set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 are notified by transmitting a setting value designation command from the main board 11 side to the performance control board 12 side.

FIG. 7 shows an example of the configuration of the display result determination table. FIG. 7(A) shows a configuration example of the display result determination table for the first special symbol used when the variable special symbol is the first special symbol, and FIG. 7(B) shows a configuration example of the display result determination table for the first special symbol used when the variable special symbol is the second A configuration example of a second special figure display result determination table used in the case of a figure is shown. The 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 a variable display result of the special symbol, according to the set value. The random number value MR1 is a random number value for determining the display result, and the value is randomly updated in the range of 0 to 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, if the setting value is 1 and the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state, it is in the range of 0 to 65535. It is a numerical value that can take a value, and among the hit judgment values that are compared with the random number MR1 for judging the special figure display result, 1020 to 1237 are assigned to "jackpot", and 65317 to 65535 are assigned to "time saving". Other numerical ranges are assigned as "outliers". In addition, if the setting value is 1 and the gaming state is variable probability, of the hit determination values mentioned above, 1020 to 1346 are assigned to "jackpot", and the other numerical ranges are assigned to "miss". Assigned. Incidentally, the case where the setting value of the first variable special figure is 2 to 6 and the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state is as shown in FIG. 7(A).

As shown in FIG. 7(B), when the variable special figure is the second special figure, if the setting value is 1 and the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state, it is in the range of 0 to 65535. It is a numerical value that can take a value, and among the hit judgment values that are compared with the random number MR1 for judging the special figure display result, 1020 to 1237 are assigned to "jackpot", and 65317 to 65425 are assigned to "time saving". Other numerical ranges are assigned as "outliers". In addition, if the setting value is 1 and the gaming state is variable probability, of the hit determination values mentioned above, 1020 to 1346 are assigned to "jackpot", and the other numerical ranges are assigned to "miss". Assigned. Incidentally, the case where the variable special figure has a setting value of 2 to 6 in the second special figure and the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state is as shown in FIG. 7(B).

Here, if we pay attention to the numerical range of the hit judgment value assigned to "Jackpot" and "Time-saving loss" in each display result judgment table, as shown in Fig. 8, when the gaming state is normal state or time-saving state In the first special figure display result determination table, the range from 1020 to 1237 of the hit determination values is set as a common numerical range of jackpot determination values for determining a jackpot regardless of the set value.

In addition, when the setting value is 1, only the common numerical range of jackpot determination values for determining jackpots is set (1020 to 1237 are assigned to "jackpot"), while setting value 2 ~ In the case of the setting value 6, the numerical range corresponding to each setting value from 1238 is set as the non-common numerical range of the jackpot determination value so as to be continuous from the common numerical range of the jackpot determination value. The non-common numerical range of this jackpot judgment value is the range of 1238 to 1253 for setting value 2, the range of 1238 to 1272 for setting value 3, the range of 1238 to 1292 for setting value 4, and the range of 1238 to 1317 for setting value 5. , the setting value 6 is set in the range of 1238 to 1346, respectively.

In other words, in the first special figure display result determination table when the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state, if the setting value is 1, the common hit determination value that can take a value in the range of 0 to 65535 is selected. Only numbers within the numerical range (1020-1237) are assigned to the "jackpot", while if the set value is 2 or more, the non-common numerical range is added to the common numerical range of the jackpot judgment values. Numbers within the range are assigned a "jackpot". Furthermore, the non-common numerical value range increases from 1238 as the set value increases.

For this reason, the jackpot probability is set at 1020 as the standard value for the jackpot determination value (jackpot standard value), and as the set value increases, the non-common numerical range that is continuous with the common numerical range increases, so the jackpot probability increases. go.

Furthermore, in the display result determination table for the first special figure when the gaming state is the normal state or the time-saving state, the range from 65317 to 65535 among the winning determination values determines whether the time-saving win or loss occurs regardless of the set value. It is set in the common numerical range of the time saving judgment value. If we pay attention to the case where the setting value is 6, as mentioned above, 1020 to 1346 of the hit judgment values are set in the numerical range of the jackpot judgment value, and there is also a time saving function. The loss judgment value is in the range of 65317 to 65535, with 65317 as the reference value for loss with time saver (loss reference value with time saver), in a numerical range different from the jackpot judgment value range (1020 to 1346) of the setting value 6. This setting prevents the numerical range of the time saving loss judgment value from overlapping with the range of the jackpot judgment value which changes according to each set value.

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

When the setting value is 1, only the common numerical range of jackpot judgment values for determining jackpots is set (1020 to 1346 are assigned to "jackpot"), while setting value 2 to setting In the case of the value 6, the numerical range corresponding to each set value from 1347 is set as the non-common numerical range of the jackpot determination value so as to be continuous from the common numerical range of the jackpot determination value. The non-common numerical range of this jackpot judgment value is the range of 1347 to 1383 for setting value 2, the range of 1347 to 1429 for setting value 3, the range of 1347 to 1487 for setting value 4, and the range of 1347 to 1556 for setting value 5. , and the setting value 6 is set in the range of 1347 to 1674.

In other words, in the first special figure display result determination table when the gaming state is variable probability state, when the set value is 1, among the hit determination values that can take values in the range of 0 to 65535, the common numerical range ( 1020 to 1346) are assigned to the "jackpot", but if the set value is 2 or more, the jackpot judgment value within the range of the common numerical value range plus the non-common numerical range A numerical value is assigned to a “jackpot.” Furthermore, the non-common numerical value range increases from 1347 as the set value increases.

For this reason, the jackpot probability is set at 1020 as the standard value for the jackpot determination value (jackpot standard value), and as the set value increases, the non-common numerical range that is continuous with the common numerical range increases, so the jackpot probability increases. go.

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

In addition, when the setting value is 1, only the common numerical range of jackpot determination values for determining jackpots is set (1020 to 1237 are assigned to "jackpot"), while setting value 2 ~ In the case of the setting value 6, the numerical range corresponding to each setting value from 1238 is set as the non-common numerical range of the jackpot determination value so as to be continuous from the common numerical range of the jackpot determination value. The non-common numerical range of this jackpot judgment value is the range of 1238 to 1253 for setting value 2, the range of 1238 to 1272 for setting value 3, the range of 1238 to 1292 for setting value 4, and the range of 1238 to 1317 for setting value 5. , the setting value 6 is set in the range of 1238 to 1346, respectively.

In other words, in this pachinko game machine 1, when the setting value is 1 in the second special symbol display result determination table when the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state, the value can be taken in the range of 0 to 65535. Among the hit judgment values, only the numbers within the common numerical range (1020 to 1237) are assigned to the "jackpot", while if the set value is 2 or more, the common numerical range of the jackpot judgment values is assigned. Numerical values within the range plus the non-common numerical value range are assigned to the "jackpot". Furthermore, the non-common numerical value range increases from 1238 as the set value increases.

For this reason, the jackpot probability is set at 1020 as the standard value for the jackpot determination value (jackpot standard value), and as the set value increases, the non-common numerical range that is continuous with the common numerical range increases, so the jackpot probability increases. go.

Furthermore, in the second special figure display result determination table when the gaming state is the normal state or the time-saving state, the range from 65317 to 65425 among the winning determination values determines whether the time-saving win or loss occurs regardless of the set value. It is set in the common numerical range of the time saving judgment value. If we pay attention to the case where the setting value is 6, as mentioned above, 1020 to 1346 of the hit judgment values are set in the numerical range of the jackpot judgment value, and there is also a time saving function. The loss judgment value is in the range of 65317 to 65425, with 65317 as the reference value for loss with time saver (loss reference value with time saver), in a numerical range different from the jackpot judgment value range (1020 to 1346) of the setting value 6. This setting prevents the numerical range of the time saving loss judgment value from overlapping with the range of the jackpot judgment value which changes according to each set value.

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

As mentioned above, in this pachinko gaming machine 1, when the variable special symbol is the first special symbol, regardless of the setting value, 65317 to When the range of 65535 is set to the common numerical range with and without time saving, and the variable special symbol is the second special symbol, the setting value will be changed in both the normal state and the time saving state. Regardless, the range of 65317 to 65425 is set as a common numerical range with and without time saving. In other words, when the gaming state is normal and when the time-saving state is set, the rate at which the variable display result is a loss with time-saving is the same for all setting values, so depending on the setting value, the gambling can be prevented from becoming excessively high. Furthermore, regarding the time saving error, which is assigned a common judgment value number for each setting value, all setting values are set in a continuous numerical range from 65317, which is the reference value for the time saving error, so the display is variable. This makes it possible to reduce the processing load on the CPU 103 related to determining whether the result is a time saving or not.

In addition, in this pachinko gaming machine 1, the settable setting values are six from 1 to 6, but the setting values that can be set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 may be 5 or less or 7 or more. . Furthermore, the smaller the set value set in the pachinko game machine 1, the more advantageous it may be to the player.

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

(Main operations of the production control board 12)
Next, the main operations in the production control board 12 will be explained. When the effect control board 12 receives power supply voltage from a power supply board or the like, the effect control CPU 120 is activated and executes effect control main processing as shown in the flowchart of FIG. When the production control main process shown in FIG. Performs register settings for the installed CTC (counter/timer circuit). In addition, initial operation control processing is executed (step S72). In the initial operation control process, control is executed to perform initial operations of the movable body 32, such as control to drive the movable body 32 to return to the origin position, and control to perform predetermined operation checks.

Thereafter, it is determined whether the timer interrupt flag is on (step S73). The timer interrupt flag is set to an on state every time a predetermined time (for example, 2 milliseconds) elapses, based on, for example, a register setting of the CTC. At this time, if the timer interrupt flag is off (step S73; No), the process of step S73 is repeatedly executed and the process waits.

Furthermore, on the side of the production control board 12, an interrupt for receiving a production control command from the main board 11 is generated in addition to a timer interrupt that occurs every time a predetermined time elapses. This interrupt is, for example, an interrupt that occurs when the effect control INT signal from the main board 11 is turned on. When an interrupt occurs due to the production control INT signal being turned on, the production control CPU 120 automatically disables interrupts, but if a CPU that does not automatically disable interrupts is used, interrupts are disabled. It is desirable to issue a prohibition order (DI order). The production control CPU 120 executes, for example, a predetermined command reception interrupt process in response to an interrupt caused by the production control INT signal being turned on. In this command reception interrupt process, an effect control command is taken in from a predetermined input port included in the I/O 125 that receives a control signal transmitted from the main board 11 via the relay board 15. The production control command taken in at this time is stored in a production control command reception buffer provided in the RAM 122, for example. After that, the production control CPU 120 sets the interrupt permission, and then ends the command reception interrupt process.

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

After executing the command analysis process in step S75, the production control process process is executed (step S76). In the effect control process processing, for example, the display operation of the effect image 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 LED, and the movable body 32. Control is performed to operate various presentation devices, such as driving operations. Further, regarding the content of control of performance operations using various performance devices, judgments, decisions, settings, etc. are performed in accordance with performance control commands transmitted from the main board 11.

Following the performance control process processing in step S76, a performance random number update process is executed (step S77), and at least a portion of the performance random numbers used on the performance control board 12 are updated by software. Thereafter, the process returns to step S73. Other processes may be executed before returning to the process of step S73.

FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S76 of FIG. 9 as the production control process process. In the performance control process shown in FIG. 10, the performance control CPU 120 first executes a pre-read notice setting process (step S161). In the pre-read preview setting process, for example, based on the performance control command at the time of start-up winning that is transmitted from the main board 11, determination, determination, setting, etc. for executing the pre-read preview performance are performed. Further, processing for displaying a pending display is executed based on the number of pending memories specified from the production control command.

After executing the process of step S161, the effect control CPU 120 selects and executes one of the following processes of steps S170 to S175, depending on 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 that is executed when the value of the production process flag is "0" (initial value). This variable display start waiting process is 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 specifying the start of variable display has been received from the main board 11. Contains such as. When it is determined to start variable display of decorative symbols on the image display device 5, the value of the production process flag is updated to "1", and the variable display start waiting process is ended.

The variable display start setting process in step S171 is a process that is executed when the value of the production process flag is "1". In this variable display start setting process, based on the display result and fluctuation pattern specified by the performance control command, the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern (determined decorative pattern), the mode of variable display of the decorative pattern, the reach effect, etc. It determines whether or not various performances such as preview performances are to be executed, their mode, execution start timing, and the like. Then, a performance control pattern (a collection of control data for instructing the display control unit 123 to execute the performance) that reflects the determination result etc. is set. Thereafter, based on the set performance control pattern, the display control section 123 is instructed to start executing the variable display of decorative symbols, the value of the performance process flag is updated to "2", and the variable display start setting process is ended. The display control unit 123 causes the image display device 5 to start variable display of decorative symbols in response to an instruction to start variable display of decorative symbols.

The variable display effect processing in step S172 is a process that is executed when the value of the effect process flag is "2". In this variable display performance process, the performance control CPU 120 instructs the display control unit 123 to display a performance image based on the performance control pattern set in step S171 on the display screen of the image display device 5. , driving the movable body 32 , outputting audio and sound effects from the speakers 8L and 8R by outputting a command (sound effect signal) to the audio control board 13 , and outputting a command (illumination signal) to the lamp control board 14 . Various performance controls are executed during variable display of decorative patterns, such as turning on/off/flashing the game effect lamp 9 and decorative LEDs by outputting the output. After performing such performance control, for example, a termination code indicating the end of the variable display of decorative patterns has been read from the performance control pattern, or a command has been received from the main board 11 specifying that fixed decorative patterns should be stopped and displayed. In response to what has been done, etc., the determined decorative pattern that becomes the display result of the decorative pattern is stopped and displayed. When the fixed decorative pattern is stopped and displayed, the value of the production process flag is updated to "3", and the variable display production process is completed.

The special figure hit waiting process in step S173 is a process that is executed when the value of the production process flag is "3". In this special figure winning waiting process, the performance control CPU 120 determines whether or not a performance control command has been received from the main board 11 that designates starting a jackpot game state. Then, when receiving a production control command specifying to start a jackpot game state, the value of the production process flag is updated to "4". In addition, if the waiting time for receiving the command elapses without receiving a command specifying the start of the jackpot game state, the display result in the special figure game is determined to be a "loss", and the presentation process flag is flagged. The value of is updated to the initial value "0". When the value of the production process flag is updated, the waiting process for each special figure ends.

The jackpot performance process in step S174 is a process that is executed when the value of the performance process flag is "6". In this jackpot performance process, the performance control CPU 120 sets, for example, a performance control pattern corresponding to the performance content in the jackpot game state, and executes various performance controls in the jackpot game state based on the set content. In addition, in the jackpot production process, for example, in response to receiving a command from the main board 11 to specify ending the jackpot game state, the value of the production process flag is set to "5", which is a value corresponding to the ending production process. ” and ends the jackpot performance process.

The ending effect processing in step S175 is a process that is 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 jackpot game state, for example, and performs various performance controls of the ending performance at the end of the jackpot game state based on the setting contents. Execute. Thereafter, the value of the production process flag is updated to the initial value "0", and the ending production process is ended.

Furthermore, even if variable display is executed a specific number of times (in this example, 900 times) in a row with low accuracy after the power is turned on to the gaming machine (when RAM clear processing is executed) or after a jackpot occurs, If the next jackpot does not occur, the game may be controlled to a time saving state B (also referred to as a rescue time saving state, relief time saving, or play time) among a plurality of types of time saving states. This relief time reduction is provided to help players who have not won a jackpot despite playing games for a long period of time (for example, to reduce investment in games). , in this example, is a gaming state called "play time".

In this embodiment, when controlled to jackpot A among multiple types of jackpots, variable display is performed 110 times in time saving state A (low probability/high base state) among multiple types of time saving states. While the number of variable displays from the end of the time saving state A to the arrival of the rescue time saving is 790 times, if it is controlled to either jackpot B or jackpot C among multiple types of jackpots, the probability variable state (high probability /high base state), the variable display is performed 110 times, so the number of variable displays remaining from the end of the probability variable state to the arrival of the relief time reduction is 900 times. Further, in the present embodiment, the number of variable display times in the time saving state B (low probability/high base state) based on the value of the rescue time saving number counter becoming "0" is 1100 times.

In this embodiment, in the variable display when the rescue time shortening is reached, by displaying a shutter image (see FIGS. 11-23 (B) and (C)) on the entire screen of the image display device 5, the variable display before the rescue time shortening is In the display, after reducing the visibility of the first background image (also called normal background) corresponding to the normal state that was displayed as the background image (see Figure 11-23 (A)), it is displayed as the background image to shorten the rescue time. The corresponding third background image (see FIG. 11-23(D)) is displayed.

In this embodiment, the left side of the image display device 5 on the game board 2 of the pachinko game machine 1 is formed as a left gaming area where game balls can flow down, and the right side of the image display device 5 on the game board 2 is It is formed in the right game area where game balls can flow down. A game ball weakly launched by the firing device flows down a first path in the left gaming area, and a gaming ball strongly launched by the firing device flows down a second path in the right gaming area.

In this embodiment, the special variable winning ball device 7 is formed with a first big winning hole and a second big winning hole along the downward direction of the game balls. The first big prize opening is opened and closed by driving the solenoid 069SG2A (see Figure 11-2) to open and close the big winning opening door (not shown), which allows the game ball to enter the open state and the game ball to enter the closed state where the game ball cannot enter. It is possible to change the state. The second grand prize opening is opened and closed by driving the solenoid 069SG2B (see Figure 11-3) to open and close the grand prize opening door (not shown). It is possible to change the state.

Furthermore, in the first grand prize opening, a first count switch 069SG023A that can detect game balls is provided, and in the second grand prize opening, a second count switch 069SG023B that can detect game balls is provided. There is.

In other words, the game balls flowing down the left gaming area (first route) can be won in the general winning opening 10 and the first starting winning opening formed by the winning ball device 6A, and can be won in the right gaming area (second route). ), the game balls flowing down enter the second starting winning hole formed by the variable winning ball device 6B, the general winning hole 10, the first big winning hole or the second big winning hole formed by the special variable winning ball device 7. It is possible to pass through the passage gate 41.

Note that the switch circuit 110 in this embodiment is connected to a first count switch 069SG023A, a second count switch 069SG023B, and a jackpot start switch 069SG024 built in the jackpot start gate 069SG042.

A plurality of obstacle nails are arranged between the winning ball device 6A, the variable winning ball device 6B, and the special variable winning ball device 7. For this reason, the game balls flowing down the left gaming area cannot win the second starting prize opening or the big winning opening, and the gaming balls flowing down the right gaming area cannot win the first starting prize opening. There is.

As shown in FIG. 11-2, at a predetermined position of the game board 2 of the pachinko game machine 1 in this embodiment (for example, the lower left position of the game area), there is a first special figure that can display a variable display of the first special figure. 1 Special symbol display device 069SG004A, 2nd special symbol display device 069SG004B capable of variable display of the 2nd special symbol, 1st reservation display device 069SG025A capable of displaying the 1st reserved memory number, capable of displaying the 2nd reserved memory number A second reservation display 069SG025B, a normal symbol display 069SG020 that can perform variable display of ordinary symbols, a regular symbol reservation display 069SG025C that can display the number of stored regular symbols, and a number of rounds of the jackpot game during a jackpot game ( Round indicator 069SG131 that can display jackpot type), jackpot game state, high accuracy/high base state (variable probability state), low accuracy/high base state (time saving state), etc. A game in which a game ball is launched toward the right gaming area. The right-handed lamp 069SG132 lights up in the high-accuracy/high-base state (probability variable state), the variable-probability lamp 069SG133 lights up in the high-accuracy/high-base state (probability-variable state), and the low-accuracy/high-base state (probability variable state) and the low-accuracy/high-base state (time-saving state). A game information display section is provided in which lighted time-saving lamps 069SG134 are collectively arranged. In addition, when the gaming state is the normal state, the right-handed lamp 069SG132 lights up exceptionally from the timing when the variable display stops when the variable display result becomes a jackpot.

As shown in FIG. 11-2, the main board 11 transmits gaming information (signals) to external devices such as a management computer of the gaming hall where the pachinko gaming machine 1 is installed via a terminal board (not shown). It is equipped with an information output circuit for output.

In this embodiment, the second big winning opening is provided with a V winning opening and an outlet located downstream of the V winning opening. Further, a variable V winning ball device (V lid) is provided on the upstream side of the V winning opening. The variable V winning ball device changes between a closed state and an open state by a solenoid. In other words, the game ball flowing down inside the second big winning hole can pass through the V winning hole when the variable V winning ball device is in the open state, and can pass through the V winning hole when the variable V winning ball device is in the closed state. It is assumed that the water cannot pass through the water and flows down to the outlet.

As shown in FIG. 11-2, the main board 11 includes a V switch 069SG023B1 that can detect, via the switch circuit 110, that a game ball has passed through the V winning hole provided downstream of the second big winning hole. and an ejection switch 069SG023B2 that can detect that the game ball has passed through the ejection port.

FIG. 11-3(A) is an explanatory diagram illustrating random numbers counted on the main board 11 side. As shown in FIG. 11-3(A), in this embodiment, on the side of the main board 11, in addition to the random number MR1 for determining the special figure display result, the random number MR2 for determining the jackpot type, and the fluctuation pattern determination. Numerical data indicating each of the random number MR3 for the normal figure display result determination, the random number MR5 for determining the initial value of MR4, is controlled to be countable. Note that random numbers other than these may be used to enhance the gaming effect. These random numbers MR1 to MR5 may be counted by updating software in the CPU 103 using different random counters, or may be updated by the random number circuit 104. The random number circuit 104 may be built in the game control microcomputer 100, or may be configured as a random number circuit chip different from the game control microcomputer 100. The random numbers used to control the progress of the game are also referred to as gaming random numbers.

Note that although this embodiment exemplifies a mode in which each of the random numbers MR1 to MR5 is used as a value in the range shown in FIG. 11-3(A), the present invention is not limited to this, and may be The range of each random number value MR1 to MR5 may be varied depending on the setting value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1.

In the game control microcomputer 100, the CPU 103 executes a program read from the ROM 101, and uses the RAM 102 as a work area to execute various processes for controlling the progress of the game in the pachinko game machine 1. Furthermore, the CPU 103 is capable of generating all of the various random numbers used on the main board 11 side by executing a random number generation program.

The ROM 101 included in the game control microcomputer 100 stores, in addition to game control programs, various table data used to control the progress of the game. For example, the ROM 101 stores table data that constitutes a plurality of determination tables prepared for the CPU 103 to make various determinations and decisions. The ROM 101 also contains table data constituting a plurality of control pattern tables used by the CPU 103 to output various control signals from the main board 11, and variable display of each symbol in the variable display of special symbols, normal symbols, etc. A variation pattern determination table and the like that store a plurality of types of variation patterns serving as modes are stored.

FIG. 11-3(B) shows a configuration example of the special figure display result determination table stored in the ROM 101. In this feature section 069SG, a common special figure display result judgment table is used for the first special figure and the second special figure as the special figure display result judgment table, but the present invention is not limited to this. , separate special figure display result determination tables may be used for the first special figure and the second special figure.

The special figure display result determination table is a variable display result and a special figure game using the first special figure by the first special figure display device 4A and a special figure game using the second special figure by the second special figure display device 4B. Before the finalized special symbol is derived and displayed, it is referred to in order to determine whether or not to control the variable display result as a "jackpot" into a jackpot game state based on the random number MR1 for determining the special symbol display result. This is the table that will be used.

In the special figure display result determination table in this feature section 069SG, the special figure display results are determined depending on whether the gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is a normal state, a time-saving state (low probability state), or a variable probability state (high probability state). A numerical value (judgment value) that is compared with the random number MR1 for determining the figure display result is assigned to the special figure display result of "big hit" or "miss".

In the special figure display result determination table, the table data indicating the determination value to be compared with the random number MR1 for determining the special figure display result is used to determine whether or not to treat the special figure display result as a "jackpot" and control it to a jackpot gaming state. This is the judgment data assigned to the result. In the special figure display result determination table in this feature section 069SG, when the gaming state is in a variable probability state (high probability state), more judgment values are determined as " It is assigned to the special figure display result of "Jackpot". As a result, in a variable probability state (high probability state) in which probability variable control is performed in the pachinko game machine 1, when the pachinko game machine 1 is in a normal state or a time saving state (low probability state), the special figure display result is set as a "jackpot" and the jackpot game state is controlled. Then, compared to the probability determined (approximately 1/319.68 in this feature part 069SG), the probability that the special figure display result is determined as a "jackpot" and the jackpot gaming state is controlled becomes higher (in this feature part 069SG) Approximately 1/80.02). That is, in the special figure display result determination table, when the gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is a variable probability state (high probability state), it is determined that control is to be made into a jackpot gaming state compared to when it is in a normal state or a time saving state. In order to increase the probability, the determination data is assigned to the determination result of whether or not to control the jackpot game state.

The determination table stored in the ROM 101 includes, in addition to the display result determination table for the first special symbol and the display result determination table for the second special symbol shown in FIG. 7, the jackpot type determination table (C1) shown in FIG. In addition to the jackpot type determination table (for the second special symbol) shown in Figure 11-3 (C2), the fluctuation pattern determination table, the regular symbol display result determination table (not shown), the regular symbol fluctuation pattern It includes a decision table (not shown) and the like.

Note that the pachinko gaming machine 1 of this embodiment is configured such that the probability of winning the jackpot (ball exit rate) does not change depending on the setting value; ) may be changed.

(Jackpot type determination table)
FIG. 11-3 (C1) and FIG. 11-3 (C2) are explanatory diagrams showing the jackpot type determination table (for the first special symbol) and the jackpot type determination table (for the second special symbol) stored in the ROM 101. It is. Among these, in Figure 11-3 (C1), the jackpot type is determined using the reserved memory based on the game ball entering the first starting prize hole (that is, when the first special symbol is variablely displayed). This is a table for when Further, in FIG. 11-3 (C1), the jackpot type is determined using the reserved memory based on the game ball entering the second starting prize hole (that is, when the second special symbol is variablely displayed). This is a table of cases.

The jackpot type determination table determines whether the jackpot type is one of jackpot A to jackpot C based on the random number (MR2) for determining the jackpot when it is determined that the variable display result is to be used as a jackpot symbol. This is a table that is referenced to determine the

Here, the jackpot type in this embodiment will be explained using FIG. 11-3(D). In this embodiment, the jackpot types are provided as jackpot A, jackpot B, and jackpot C, in which time saving control is executed for a maximum of 110 variable displays after the jackpot game state ends. In addition, these jackpot A, jackpot B, and jackpot C can be achieved by entering the V winning hole after the game ball enters the second big winning hole in the first round of the jackpot game state, and the maximum after the end of the jackpot game. This is also a jackpot in which variable probability control is executed over 110 variable displays.

In this embodiment, the open state of the variable V winning ball device (V lid) includes a short open state in which the period of being in the open state is short (for example, 0.1 seconds), and a long open state in which the period of being in the open state is long. state (for example, 15 seconds). Jackpot A is when the variable V winning ball device is in the short open state in the first round of the jackpot game state, and jackpot B and jackpot C are when the variable V winning ball device is in the long open state in the first round of the jackpot gaming state. shall be.

The jackpot game state due to "Jackpot A" changes the second big prize opening to an open state that is advantageous to the player in the first round, and changes the first big prize opening to an advantageous state for the player in the second to sixth rounds. It is a normal open jackpot that changes to an open state. In addition, in "Jackpot A", since the variable V winning ball device is in a short-circuit open state in the first round, it is extremely difficult to put the game ball into the V winning hole, and the probability variable control is not executed. Since you can't expect it, it's essentially a regular jackpot.

The jackpot game state due to "Jackpot B" changes the second jackpot in the first round to an open state that is advantageous for the player, and the first jackpot in the second to sixth rounds that is advantageous to the player. It is a normal open jackpot that changes to an open state. In addition, in "Jackpot B", the variable V winning ball device is in the long open state in the first round, so it is extremely easy to put the game ball into the V winning hole, and the probability change control is executed. Since you can expect it, it will be a real surefire jackpot.

The jackpot game state due to "Jackpot C" changes the second big prize opening to an open state that is advantageous to the player in the first round, and changes the first big prize opening to an advantageous state for the player in the second to 10th rounds. It is a normal open jackpot that changes to an open state. In addition, in "Jackpot C", the variable V winning ball device is in the long open state in the first round, so it is extremely easy to put the game ball into the V winning hole, and the probability variable control is not executed. Since you can expect it, it will be a real surefire jackpot.

In addition, in this embodiment, although the form in which three types of jackpot A to jackpot C are provided as jackpot types is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the number of jackpot types is two or less, or Four or more types may be provided.

Also, as shown in Figure 11-3 (C1), in the jackpot type judgment table (for the first special symbol), out of the range of judgment values of MR2 from 0 to 299, 0 to 149 are assigned to jackpot A. 150 to 299 are assigned to jackpot B. On the other hand, as shown in Figure 11-3 (C2), in the jackpot type judgment table (for the second special symbol), out of the range of judgment values of MR2 from 0 to 299, 0 to 99 are assigned to jackpot B. 100 to 299 are assigned to jackpot C.

In other words, in this embodiment, when the variable special symbol is the first special symbol, the game ball is likely to enter the V winning hole in the first round of the jackpot game state at a rate of 50%. After the jackpot game ends, both probability change control and time saving control are carried out. Furthermore, if the variable special symbol is the second special symbol, the game ball will be in a state where it is easy to enter the V winning hole in the first round of the jackpot game state with a probability of 100%, and the probability change control will be performed after the jackpot game ends. and time-saving control are both implemented.

In this example, even in the case of jackpot A, it is possible to win a V prize when the V lid is short-circuited, but it is extremely rare, so in the case of jackpot A, The explanation will be made on the assumption that no prize is won and probability variable control is not executed. In addition, even in the case of jackpot B and jackpot C, it is possible but extremely rare that you will not be able to win a prize when the V lid is in a long open state, so it will be jackpot B and jackpot C. In this case, the description will be made on the assumption that V is won and probability variable control is executed.

In addition, in this embodiment, the jackpot type is determined using MR2, which is a random number value for determining the jackpot type, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the jackpot type is determined based on the special figure display result. The determination may be made using MR1, which is a random value for determination.

In addition, in this embodiment, for example, as the jackpot type for the second special symbol, a form having jackpots B and C in which probability change control and time saving control can be executed 110 times after the end of the jackpot game state is exemplified, The present invention is not limited to this, and for example, a jackpot D may be provided in which the time saving control is performed 1009 times (variable probability state: 110 times + time saving state A: 899 times) after the end of the jackpot gaming state. By doing this, the interest is increased because there is a high chance of hitting the jackpot next time, and even if the probability variable control ends without a jackpot occurring in the probability variable state 110 times after the end of the jackpot D, the time saving state A (low After executing variable display 899 times without a jackpot in the (accurate/high base state), by executing one variable display in the normal state, it will be further controlled to the time saving state B (relief time saving state), which will be described later. This will improve your interest.

(Number of time savings)
FIG. 11-4 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the number of time reductions for each transition trigger. As shown in FIG. 11-4, in this example, when jackpot A occurs and the game ball does not enter the variable probability area, (1) time saving control is performed 110 times, and (2) low probability The time saving state A is controlled 110 times (in this example, it is controlled to BATTLE RUSH where the number of time saving is 110 times. Also, either jackpot B or jackpot C occurs and the game ball is placed in the probability variable area. When winning a prize, (1) time saving control is performed 110 times, and (2) probability variable state where variable probability control is performed 110 times (in this example, a polar battle rush with 110 time saving times). In addition, when variable display is performed 900 times without being controlled to hit the jackpot in a low probability state, (1) time saving control is performed 1100 times, and (2) low probability control is performed 1100 times. Controlled to time saving state B (in this example, time saving number of times 1100 times / 1100 BATTLE RUSH (play / 1100 BATTLE RUSH)).However, after time saving state B ends, it is controlled to hit the jackpot in a low probability state. Even if the fluctuation is performed again 900 times without being changed, the control will not be performed again to the time saving state B based on this fluctuation.

In addition, when the time saving and missed symbols are stopped and displayed in the normal state, (1) time saving control is performed 1100 times, and (2) low accuracy control is performed 1100 times (time saving state B (in this example, time saving). It may be controlled by 1100 play/1100 battle rush). In this case, even if the time-saving winning/losing symbol is stopped and displayed in the high base state (probability variable state, time-saving state), the game state transition control is not performed (it is not controlled to the time-saving state with the number of time-savings being 1100 times). This is to avoid reducing the degree of relief for the player. For example, if a configuration is adopted in which the time-saving state is changed to a time-saving state with a number of time-saving times of 1100 times based on the time-saving losing symbol being stopped and displayed when the control is in a variable probability state where it is easy to hit the jackpot, the player This is not preferable because the control will change from an advantageous state to an unfavorable state. Therefore, it is only necessary to configure the game to be controlled to the time saving state of 1100 times only when the game state being controlled when the time saving and missed symbols are stopped and displayed is the normal state.

Note that the relief time reduction attainment rate is the rate at which the time reduction state is controlled via the relief time reduction. Since the time saving state via the relief time saving is controlled by performing variable display n times (900 times in this example) without being controlled by the jackpot gaming state, the relief time saving attainment rate K is as follows. It can be calculated as follows.

K={(1-ML)^n}×100
(K=Relief time saving arrival rate, ML=Jackpot probability, n=Number of variable displays)

Specifically, for example, if the jackpot probability ML in the present embodiment is about 1/319, the relief time saving attainment rate K is 5.9%. In addition, in the case of a gaming machine that allows setting of a setting value, if the setting value with a lower jackpot probability is set, the higher the relief time shortening attainment rate becomes, the player can be rescued even with a setting value with a low jackpot probability. can do.

As shown in Figures 11-6(A) and (B), the average time of the variable display time of the fluctuation pattern for a loss that can be determined when the number of retained memories is 0 in the variable probability state is approximately 8.2 seconds {(( 7s x 95) + (40s x 2) + (25s x 3)) ÷ 100 = 8.2}, average time of variable display time of variation pattern for loss that can be determined when the number of pending memories is 1 to 3 is approximately 4.8 seconds {((3s×85)+(7s×10)+(40s×2)+(25s×3))÷100=4.8}.

Here, assuming that the first variable display after the definite variable state starts, the number of pending memories is 0, and the number of pending memories for the 2nd to 110th variable display is 1 to 3, then the number of pending memories that can be determined in the variable state is The average time of the variable display time of the variation pattern is approximately 4.83 seconds {(8.2+(4.8×109))÷110=4.83}.

In addition, as shown in Figure 11-6 (C), the average time of the variable display time of the variable pattern for the jackpot that can be determined when the number of pending memories is 0 to 3 in the variable probability state is approximately 51.1 seconds {( (22s x 5) + (55s x 80) + (40s x 15)) ÷ 100 = 51.1}, so the average time of the variable display time of the variable pattern for jackpot that can be determined in the probability variable state is approximately 51 .1 second.

As shown in Figures 11-7(A) and (B), when the number of pending memories is 0 in time-saving state A, the average time of the variable display time of the variation pattern for loss that can be determined is approximately 9.15 seconds {( (7s x 95) + (50s x 5)) ÷ 100 = 9.15}, when the number of pending memories is 1 to 3, the average time of the variable display time of the fluctuation pattern for loss that can be determined is approximately 5.55 seconds {((3s×90)+(7s×5)+(50s×5))÷100=5.55}.

Here, assuming that time saving state A is started and the first variable display has a pending memory number of 0, and the variable display of 2 to 110 times has a pending memory number of 1 to 3, it is possible to determine in time saving state A. The average time of the variable display time of the variation pattern for failure is approximately 5.58 seconds {(9.15+(5.55×109))/110=5.58}.

In addition, as shown in Figure 11-7 (C), when the number of pending memories is 0 to 3 in the time saving state A, the average time of the variable display time of the variable pattern for the jackpot that can be determined is about 62.8 seconds { ((22s×5)+(55s×95))÷100=62.85}.

As shown in Figures 11-8(A) and (B), when the number of pending memories is 0 in time saving state B, the average time of variable display time of the variation pattern for loss that can be determined is approximately 7.54 seconds {( (7s x 97) + (25s x 3)) ÷ 100 = 7.54}, when the number of pending memories is 1 to 3, the average time of the variable display time of the fluctuation pattern for loss that can be determined is approximately 2.205 seconds {((1.5s×97)+(25s×3))÷100=2.205}.

Here, assuming that the first variable display after time saving state B starts, the number of pending memories is 0, and the number of pending memories for 2 to 1100 variable displays is 1 to 3, it is possible to determine in time saving state B. The average time of the variable display time of the variation pattern for deviation is approximately 2.2 seconds {(7.54+(2.205×1099))/1100=2.20985}.

In addition, as shown in Figure 11-8 (C), when the number of pending memories is 0 to 3 in time saving state B, the average time of the variable display time of the variable pattern for jackpot that can be determined is about 40 seconds. , the average time of the variable display time of the variable pattern for the jackpot that can be determined in the time saving state B is about 40 seconds.

In this way, when the number of pending memories is 0, the number of fluctuation patterns for failure that can be determined is 3 for the definite variable state, 2 for the time-saving state A, and 2 for the time-saving state B. In the case of 3, the number of fluctuation patterns for failure that can be determined is 4 for the variable probability state, 3 for the time saving state A, and 2 for the time saving state B.

Further, the average time of the variable display time of the determinable variation pattern for failure is 4.83 seconds in the variable probability state, 5.58 seconds in the time saving state A, and 2.2 seconds in the time saving state B.

Further, when the number of pending memories is 0 to 3, the number of jackpot fluctuation patterns that can be determined is three for the variable probability state, two for the time saving state A, and one for the time saving state B.

Further, the average time of the variable display time of the determinable jackpot variation pattern is 51.1 seconds in the variable probability state, 62.8 seconds in the time saving state A, and 40 seconds in the time saving state B.

In other words, the number of types of determinable variation patterns for failure decreases in the order of probability variation state, time saving state A, and time saving state B (probability variation state > time saving state A > time saving state B), and the number of types of determinable variation patterns for loss decreases in the order of probability variation state, time saving state A, and time saving state B (probable variation state > time saving state A > time saving state B). The average display time becomes shorter in the order of variable probability state, time saving state A, and time saving state B (variable probability state > time saving state A > time saving state B).

In addition, the types of determinable jackpot fluctuation patterns decrease in the order of variable probability state, time-saving state A, and time-saving state B (probable variable state > time-saving state A > time-saving state B), and the variable display of determinable jackpot fluctuation patterns The average time becomes shorter in the order of variable probability state, time saving state A, and time saving state B (probable variable state>time saving state A>time saving state B). In this way, the time-saving state B has fewer types of variation patterns and has a shorter variable display period than the variable probability state and the time-saving state A. In other words, a monotonous and efficient variable display is performed.

In addition, although the number of types of variable patterns for losses that can be determined and the number of types of variable patterns for jackpots are larger in the variable probability state than in the time saving state A, the number in the variable time saving state A is larger than in the variable probability state. Alternatively, the variable probability state and the time saving state A may be the same.

Further, the various variation pattern determination tables shown in FIGS. 11-5 to 11-8 are commonly used for the first special symbol and the second special symbol. In particular, in the time-saving state B, the fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIG. Compared to the variable probability state and time saving state A, the number of types of variable patterns that can be determined is smaller and the average time of variable display time is shorter, so that monotonous and efficient variable display is performed.

In addition, different variation pattern determination tables may be used for the first special symbol and the second special symbol.

In addition, if a V winning occurs in the jackpot gaming state due to "Jackpot A", like "Jackpot B" and "Jackpot C", the probability variable state where the probability variable control and time saving control are executed after the end of the jackpot gaming state Since the fluctuation pattern is controlled, the fluctuation pattern is determined using the fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 11-6. In addition, if a V winning does not occur in the jackpot gaming state due to "jackpot B" or "jackpot C", similarly to "jackpot A", time saving state A where only the time saving control is executed after the end of the jackpot gaming state Therefore, the fluctuation pattern is determined using the fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 11-7. In other words, the fluctuation pattern determination table is not based on the fluctuation pattern determination table depending on the jackpot type, and since irregular states may occur in the jackpot gaming state, the fluctuation pattern judgment table is not tied to the state after the jackpot gaming state ends. The fluctuation pattern determination table obtained is used.

In other words, in a gaming machine that can be controlled to a variable probability state after the end of the jackpot game state based on the game ball passing through a specific area (e.g., V winning hole, etc.) in an advantageous state (e.g., jackpot game state), the V If a V win occurs in a jackpot game state where a win is possible, the system is controlled to a variable probability state after the end of the jackpot game state, while if a V win does not occur in a jackpot game state where a V win is possible, the corresponding In the case where the first time saving state is controlled after the end of the jackpot gaming state, and when the V winning does not occur in the jackpot gaming state where it is difficult to win a V winning, the control is controlled to the second time saving state after the end of the jackpot gaming state, The first time saving state and the second time saving state are common time saving states, and the one variable display period in the first time saving state and the second time saving state is the one variable display period in the time saving state B of this embodiment. It is preferable that it is shorter than the period.

(Fluctuating pattern without reach)
In this embodiment, variation patterns that do not involve reach ("shortened non-reach A, shortened non-reach B", "super shortened non-reach", "non-reach A, non-reach B", "SP non-via A, SP non-reach") are used. "Viaway B") is a variation pattern in which a combination of decorative symbols indicating that a reach is not established and the variable display result becomes a "miss" or "jackpot" after the start of the variable display is stopped and displayed. "Shortened non-reach A, shortened non-reach B", "ultra-shortened non-reach", "non-reach A, non-reach B", "SP non-via A, SP non-via B" are collectively referred to as "non-reach" or "shortened non-reach B". Also called "non-reach variation pattern." Incidentally, "SP non-via A, SP non-via B" is a non-reach variation pattern for a jackpot in which a reach or SP reach is not established and a jackpot is achieved.

In this embodiment, among the variation patterns that do not involve reach, the variable display period when it is determined to be a "non-reach A" variation pattern is 7000 ms, and the variation pattern is determined to be a "SP non-via A" variation pattern. The variable display period in this case is 7000+15000ms, the variable display period in the case where the variation pattern is determined to be "non-reach B" is 12000ms, and the variable display period in the case where it is determined to be the variation pattern in "SP non-via B". is 12000+15000ms, the variable display period when it is determined to be a "shortened non-reach A" variation pattern is 3000ms, and the variable display period when it is determined to be a "shortened non-reach B" variation pattern is 5000ms. , the variable display period is 1500 ms when it is determined that the variation pattern is "ultra-shortened non-reach". Among these, the variation pattern of "super shortened non-reach" is a variation pattern that can only be determined in time saving state B, and when controlled in other gaming states (time saving state A, probability variable state) where time saving control is executed. The variable display period is shorter than any of the variation patterns determined in .

(Variation pattern with super reach)
In this embodiment, a reach state is established in the variation patterns that involve super reach ("SP reach A", "SP reach B", "SP reach C", "SP reach D", "SP reach E"). Later, as an SP reach effect, a bowling effect (SP reach A) in which an ally character and an enemy character play bowling to notify whether or not a jackpot has been won or not, and a battle between an ally character and an enemy character. A battle performance (SP reach B to E) is executed to notify whether or not the player has won the jackpot, and the final display result is determined and stopped after the bowling performance and battle performance are completed. Here, if the final display result is "lost", an effect in which the ally character is defeated by the enemy character (defeat effect) is executed. On the other hand, if the final display result is a "jackpot", a performance in which the ally character wins against the enemy character (victory performance) is performed, or a performance in which the ally character is defeated by the enemy character (defeat performance) is performed. After this is executed, a performance (resurrection performance) in which the ally character revives and wins against the enemy character is performed.

Incidentally, "variable pattern without reach" is a variable pattern in which a variable display result is displayed without the variable display mode of the decorative symbol being in a predetermined reach mode. It should be noted that even if there is a reach promotion such as a "reach notice" which will be described later, it includes a variation pattern in which a variable display result is displayed without finally achieving a reach mode. In addition, "variable pattern with super reach" means that after the variable display mode of the decorative symbol becomes a predetermined reach mode, the reach effect develops and the SP reach effect is executed, and then the display result is displayed. It is a fluctuating pattern.

In addition, super reach jackpot fluctuation patterns (SP reach A to E) are given in the jackpot game state after the variable display part where the variable display of decorative symbols is executed and the victory performance and revival performance of the variable display part. It includes a post performance part that specifiably announces the expected number of pitches.

The variable display period of the variable display part is 45,000ms for SP reach A, 80,000ms for SP reach B, 40,000ms for SP reach C, 25,000ms for SP reach D, and 50,000ms for SP reach E, and for each type of SP reach A to E. It's different. On the other hand, the execution period of the post performance part is 15000 ms, which is common to SP reach A to E. In this embodiment, the predetermined period (for example, 15000 ms) in the variable display period is assigned to the post-production part, but the predetermined period may be different depending on the type of SP reach. Further, the fanfare period in the jackpot game state or the like may be assigned to the post performance part.

In addition, in this embodiment, all the variation patterns that involve reach are set as super reach variation patterns, and an example is illustrated in which a normal reach variation pattern is not set, but the present invention is not limited to this, and normal reach variation A pattern may be set.

(Production control command)
FIG. 11-9(A) is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the content of the production control command in this embodiment. The production control command has, for example, a two-byte configuration, with the first byte indicating MODE (command classification) and the second byte indicating EXT (command type). The first bit (bit 7) of MODE data is always set to "1", and the first bit of EXT data is set to "0". Note that the command format shown in FIG. 11-9(A) is an example, and other command formats may be used. Further, in this example, the control command is composed of two control signals, but the number of control signals that compose the control command may be one, or may be three or more.

In the example shown in FIG. 11-9(A), command 8001H is a first variable display start command that specifies the start of variable display in a special pattern game using the first special pattern on the first special pattern display device 4A. . Command 8002H is a second variable display start command that specifies the start of variable display in the special pattern game using the second special pattern on the second special pattern display device 4B. The command 81XXH is a decoration that is variably displayed in the "left", "middle", and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of the image display device 5 in response to the variable display of special symbols in the special symbol game. This is a variation pattern specification command that specifies a variation pattern (variation time) of symbols, etc. Here, XXH indicates an unspecified hexadecimal number, and may be any value that can be arbitrarily set according to the content of the instruction by the production control command. Note that in the variation pattern designation command, different EXT data is set depending on the variation pattern to be specified.

Command 8C00H is a variable display result designation command, and is an effect control command that designates variable display results such as special symbols and decorative symbols. In the variable display result specification command, for example, as shown in Figure 11-9 (B), the determination result of whether the variable display result is a "loss" or "jackpot" ("loss with time saving") is determined. (predetermined result) and the result of determining which of a plurality of types of jackpot is to be selected when the variable display result is "jackpot" (jackpot type determination result), different EXT data is set.

Among the variable display result designation commands, for example, as shown in FIG. 11-9(B), command 8C00H is a first variable display result designation command in which the variable display result is "miss". Command 8C01H is a second variable display result designation command that notifies the pre-determined result that the variable display result is "jackpot" and the jackpot type is "jackpot A" and the jackpot type determination result. Command 8C02H is a third variable display result designation command that notifies the pre-determined result that the variable display result is "jackpot" and the jackpot type is "jackpot B" and the jackpot type determination result. Command 8C03H is a fourth variable display result designation command that notifies the pre-determined result that the variable display result is "jackpot" and the jackpot type is "jackpot C" and the jackpot type determination result.

Command 8FXXH stops (confirms) the variable display of decorative patterns in the "left", "middle", and "right" decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of the image display device 5, and starts the next variable display. This is a symbol confirmation designation command that specifies the symbol confirmation period until.

Among the symbol confirmation designation commands, for example, as shown in FIG. 11-9(C), command 8F00H is a symbol confirmation A designation command in which the variation of the special symbol ends and the symbol confirmation period becomes 0.5 seconds. Command 8F01H is a symbol confirmation B designation command in which the variation of the special symbol ends and the symbol confirmation period becomes 20 seconds.

In this embodiment, the relief time reduction attainment variation is determined by (i) the case where the relief time shortening is reached after the RAM clearing process is executed, and (ii) the case where the relief time shortening is reached with 900 variable displays after the jackpot. A symbol confirmation designation command in which different EXT data is set is transmitted. Specifically, (i) When the rescue time shortening is reached after the RAM clearing process is executed, a symbol confirmation A designation command is transmitted in which the symbol confirmation period is 0.5 seconds in the rescue time shortening variation. In addition, (ii) after the jackpot, when the relief time shortening is reached after 900 variable displays, a symbol confirmation B designation command is sent in which the symbol confirmation period is 20 seconds in the relief time shortening variation.

The command 95XXH is a gaming state designation command that designates the current gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 1. In the gaming state designation command, different EXT data is set depending on the current gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1, for example. As a specific example, command 9500H is a first gaming state designation command corresponding to a gaming state in which time saving control is not performed (low base state, normal state), and command 9501H is a gaming state in which time saving control is performed (high base state). , time saving state).

The command E1XXH is a remaining time saving number notification command that notifies the remaining number of times of time saving control in the time saving state (time saving state A) excluding the relief time saving. Command E2XXH is a remaining probability variation number notification command that notifies the remaining probability variation number of times in the probability variation state.

Command F100H is a right-handed player LED lighting notification command that notifies the lighting of right-handed player LED069SG031. The command F101H is a right-handed LED extinguishing notification command that notifies that the right-handed LED 069SG031 is turned off.

The command 91XXH is a command for specifying the number of rescue time reductions at the time of recovery, and is an effect control command for converting the value of the rescue time reduction counter into hexadecimal and specifying it at the time of power restoration. For example, as shown in Figure 11-9 (D), the command for specifying the number of times saving time saving at recovery time is specified by each digit (1st digit, 2nd digit, 3rd digit) of the value (4-digit value) of the saving time saving counter at power restoration. Different EXT data is set depending on the digit (4th digit).

For example, as shown in Figure 11-9(D), commands 9100H to 910FH are commands 1 command for specifying the number of times saving time saving during recovery that specifies the first digit of the value of saving time saving times. It is. Commands 9110H to 911FH are 2 commands for specifying the number of rescue time reductions during recovery, which specify the second digit of the value of the number of rescue time reductions. Commands 9130H to 913FH are three commands for specifying the number of rescue time reductions during recovery, which specify the third digit of the value of the number of rescue time reductions. Commands 9140H to 914FH are four commands for specifying the number of times the rescue time is shortened during recovery, which specifies the fourth digit of the value of the number of times the rescue time is shortened.

The command 94XXH is a rescue time reduction number designation command, and is an effect control command that designates the remaining variable display number (126 times or less) until the rescue time is shortened. In the rescue time reduction number designation command, for example, as shown in Figure 11-9 (E), different EXT data is set depending on the remaining variable display number (126 times or less) until the rescue time is reduced. .

For example, as shown in FIG. 11-9(E), a command 9400H is a rescue time reduction number A designation command that specifies that the rescue time reduction has been reached. Command 9401H is a relief time reduction number B designation command that specifies that there are 1 to 125 times remaining until relief time reduction is reached. Command 947EH is a relief time reduction number C designation command that specifies that there are 126 times remaining until the relief time reduction is reached. Command 947FH is a relief time reduction number D designation command that specifies that there are 127 or more times remaining until relief time reduction is reached.

Command 96XXH is a rescue time reduction number 2 designation command, and is an effect control command that designates the remaining variable display number (number of times in units of 100) until the rescue time is shortened. In the rescue time reduction number 2 designation command, for example, a value corresponding to the remaining variable display number (number of times in units of 100) until the rescue time is shortened is set in the EXT data of the rescue time reduction number 2 designation command. For example, if the remaining number of variable display times until the relief time is shortened is 100, command 9601H is sent as the relief time reduction number 2 designation command, and if the remaining number of variable display times is 700, the relief Command 9607H is transmitted as a time saving number 1 designation command. Command 9F00 (H) is a customer waiting demonstration display designation command that specifies a customer waiting demonstration. Note that the customer waiting demo display designation command is a command that is sent when there is no hold.

(Game control main processing)
FIG. 11-10 is a flowchart showing the game control main processing in this embodiment. In this example, the processing in steps S1 to S7, the processing in steps S8 to S9, and the processing in steps S10 to S12 are the same as those shown in FIG.

In this example, when the production control command instructing recovery from power outage is transmitted in step S7, the CPU 103 checks the value of the relief time reduction counter for counting the remaining number of variable displays until the relief time is shortened. , a value obtained by converting the current value of the rescue time reduction number counter into a hexadecimal number is set, and control is performed to send a command for specifying the number of rescue time reduction times to the effect control CPU 120 (step 069SGS0013).

Next, the CPU 103 performs control to set a value corresponding to the current value of the rescue time reduction number counter and send a rescue time reduction number designation command to the effect control CPU 120 (step 069SGS0014). For example, when the current value of the relief time reduction number counter is 1 to 125, the CPU 103 performs control to transmit command 9401H as the relief time reduction number designation command. Therefore, in this example, if the RAM clearing process is not executed when the gaming machine is powered on and the recovery process is executed, a command to specify the number of rescue time reductions is sent, and a variable display of the number of times remaining until the current rescue time reduction is performed. You will be notified of the number of times.

Note that this example shows a case where, at the time of power outage recovery, a command for specifying the number of times to shorten rescue time and a command to specify the number of times to shorten rescue time are sent separately from the command at the time of recovery, but this is not limited to such a mode. . For example, the configuration may be such that the EXT data of the recovery command (e.g., power-on designation command) transmitted in step S7 is set with a value corresponding to the remaining number of times until the rescue time is shortened. .

Further, when RAM clear is requested in step S3, if there is no backup data in step S4, or if there is an abnormality in the backup RAM in step S5, the area of the rescue time reduction counter is also cleared in the initialization process of step S8. Execute clear processing on the included area.

Further, when the production control command instructing the initialization is transmitted in step S9, the CPU 103 sets the relief time reduction counter to "900" (step 069SGS0015). Therefore, in this example, when the RAM clearing process is executed when the gaming machine is powered on, "900" is set in the rescue time reduction counter. That is, in this example, after the RAM clearing process is executed when the power is turned on to the gaming machine, if a jackpot does not occur even after executing the variable display 900 times, the relief time is shortened and the control is set to the time saving state B. will be done. In addition, in this example, since the production control command that instructs initialization transmitted in step S9 and the initial value ("900") set in the rescue time reduction counter correspond to each other, the CPU 103 executes the initialization. It is also possible to specify the initial value to be set in the relief time reduction counter based on the transmission of the production control command.

Next, the CPU 103 checks the value of the rescue time reduction counter (in this example, it is "900"), converts the current value of the rescue time reduction counter into hexadecimal, sets the value, and saves the rescue time at the time of recovery. Control is performed to transmit the number of times designation command to the production control CPU 120 (step 069SGS0016).

In this way, the setting of the relief time reduction number counter is executed before the timer interrupt processing, which is the game progress process, is executed, so that the variable display does not start before the relief time reduction number counter is set. Therefore, it is possible to reliably manage the number of times until relief time is shortened.

In this example, when the RAM clearing process is executed when the power is turned on to the game machine, the rescue time reduction counter is set to "900" and initialized. First, the configuration may be such that the rescue time reduction counter is not initialized when the RAM clear process is executed. With such a configuration, the game can be started from the continuation of the value of the previous day's relief time reduction counter, so the investment amount until the relief time is shortened can be reduced, and the configuration is such that it is not disadvantageous to the player. be able to.

In addition, in the case of the above configuration, the configuration is such that the initial setting of the rescue time reduction counter is not performed only when ON of the clear switch is detected (step S3; Yes) and RAM clear processing is executed. When an abnormality is detected (steps S4, S5; No) and the RAM clearing process is executed, the rescue time reduction counter may be configured to be initialized.

(time saving flag, fixed variable flag)
In this embodiment, the time saving flag can be set when any of the conditions for being controlled to be in the time saving state is satisfied. The time saving flag includes a time saving flag A and a time saving flag B. Note that in the following description, erasing (or clearing) a flag may be referred to as resetting the flag.

The time saving flag A is set when the time saving state A is controlled via the jackpot A. This time-saving flag A is set when the jackpot game state of jackpot A ends, and when the time-saving state A ends (the timing when a jackpot occurs during the time-saving state A, the 110 time-saving control ends and the normal state (timing controlled by).

The time saving flag B is set when the time saving state B is controlled via the relief time saving. This time saving flag B is set when 900 variable displays are executed after the RAM is cleared and the display result does not become a jackpot symbol, or when the display result does not become a jackpot symbol after the end of the jackpot game state in a low probability state. is set when is executed, and is cleared when time saving state B ends (timing when a jackpot occurs during time saving state B, timing when 1100 time saving controls are completed and control returns to normal state, etc.) .

The variable probability flag is set when the variable probability state is controlled. In this embodiment, when a V prize is won in the first round of a jackpot game, a variable probability flag is set as the game state is controlled to a variable probability state when the jackpot game ends. This probability variation flag is erased at the timing when the probability variation state ends (timing when a jackpot occurs during the probability variation state, timing when the 110th probability variation control is executed and control returns to the normal state, etc.). For example, if the determination is YES in step 069SGS69A of FIG. 11-12, which will be described later, the variable probability flag is erased based on the fact that this is the 110th time since the variable display has been controlled to the variable probability state.

(Special design normal processing)
11-11 and FIG. 11-12 are flowcharts showing special symbol normal processing (step S110) in the special symbol process processing. In the special symbol normal processing, the CPU 103 confirms the value of the total pending storage number (step 069SGS51). Specifically, the count value of the total pending storage number counter for counting the total number of the first pending storage number and the second pending storage number is checked. If the total number of pending memories is not 0, the CPU 103 checks whether the second number of pending memories is 0 (step 069SGS52). Specifically, it is checked whether the value of the second pending storage counter for counting the second pending storage number is 0 or not. If the second pending storage number is not 0, the CPU 103 uses the special symbol pointer (a flag indicating whether the special symbol process is being performed for the first special symbol or the second special symbol) Data indicating "second" is set in (step 069SGS53). If the second pending memory number is 0 (that is, if only the first pending memory number is accumulated), the CPU 103 sets data indicating "first" in the special symbol pointer (step 069SGS54).

In this embodiment, by executing the processing of steps 069SGS52 to S54, the variable display of the second special symbol is executed with priority over the variable display of the first special symbol. In other words, the second start condition for starting the variable display of the second special symbol is controlled to be satisfied in priority to the first start condition for starting the variable display of the first special symbol.

In addition, the embodiment is not limited to the embodiment shown in this example, and for example, the variable display of the first special symbol and the variable display of the second special symbol may be executed in the order in which the game ball wins in the first starting winning hole and the second starting winning hole. It may be configured as follows.

Next, in the RAM 102, the CPU 103 reads out each random number value stored in the storage area corresponding to the pending storage number=1 indicated by the special symbol pointer, and stores it in the random number buffer area of the RAM 102 (step 069SGS55). Specifically, when the special symbol pointer indicates "first", the CPU 103 stores each random number stored in the storage area corresponding to the first pending memory number = 1 in the first pending memory number buffer. The numerical value is read and stored in the random number buffer area of the RAM 102. Further, when the special symbol pointer indicates "second", the CPU 103 reads each random value stored in the storage area corresponding to the second pending memory number = 1 in the second pending memory number buffer. and stores it in the random number buffer area of the RAM 102.

Then, the CPU 103 subtracts 1 from the count value of the pending storage number counter indicated by the special symbol pointer, and shifts the contents of each storage area (step 069SGS56). Specifically, when the special symbol pointer indicates "first", the CPU 103 subtracts 1 from the count value of the first pending memory number counter, and stores each storage area in the first pending memory number buffer. Shift the contents of . Further, when the special symbol pointer indicates "second", the count value of the second pending memory number counter is subtracted by 1, and the contents of each storage area in the second pending memory number buffer are shifted.

That is, when the special symbol pointer indicates "first", the CPU 103 saves the storage area corresponding to the first pending memory number = n (n = 2, 3, 4) in the first pending memory number buffer of the RAM 102. Each random value stored in is stored in a storage area corresponding to the first pending storage number=n-1. In addition, when the special symbol pointer indicates "second", it is stored in the storage area corresponding to the second pending memory number = n (n = 2, 3, 4) in the second pending memory number buffer of the RAM 102. Each random value is stored in a storage area corresponding to the second pending storage number=n-1.

Therefore, the order in which each random value stored in each storage area corresponding to each first pending memory number (or each second pending memory number) is extracted is always based on the first pending memory number (or each second pending memory number). The second pending storage number) is arranged to match the order of 1, 2, 3, and 4.

Then, the CPU 103 reduces the value of the total number of pending memories by one. That is, the count value of the total pending storage number counter is subtracted by 1 (step 069SGS57). Note that the CPU 103 stores the value of the total pending storage number counter before the count value is subtracted by 1 in a predetermined area of the RAM 102.

Next, the CPU 103 reads the random number for hit determination from the random number buffer area (step 069SGS61), and executes the jackpot determination module (step 069SGS62). In this case, the CPU 103 reads out the random numbers for winning determination extracted in the starting winning determination process (step S101) and stored in the first pending storage buffer and the second pending storage buffer in advance, and performs the jackpot determination. The jackpot determination module is a program that compares a predetermined jackpot determination value and a random number for hit determination, and executes a process of determining a jackpot when they match. In other words, it is a program that executes a jackpot determination process. In this case, if the variable probability flag indicating the variable probability state is not set (if the probability variable state is low), the CPU 103 performs jackpot determination using the low probability jackpot determination value. Further, if the probability variation flag is set (if the probability is high), the CPU 103 performs jackpot determination using the high probability jackpot determination value. When the value of the random number for hit determination matches any jackpot determination value, the CPU 103 determines that the special symbol is a jackpot.

If it is determined to be a jackpot (Step 069SGS63; Yes), the CPU 103 sets a jackpot flag indicating that it is a jackpot (Step 069SGS64). The type (jackpot A, jackpot B, jackpot C) corresponding to the value that matches the random number value is determined as the jackpot type (step 069SGS65). In this case, the CPU 103 reads out the random numbers for type determination extracted in the starting winning determination process (step S101) and stored in the first pending storage buffer and the second pending storage buffer in advance, and determines the jackpot type. Then, the process moves to step 069SGS70. On the other hand, if it is not determined to be a jackpot (step 069SGS63; No), the process moves to step 069SGS66.

In this example, by performing special symbol normal processing, the rescue time reduction condition (the value of the rescue time reduction counter is subtracted to "0") to control the rescue time to be shortened regardless of the variable display result (big hit, miss). The configuration is such that this may occur. In this example, the time-saving state A is set based on the jackpot A, and the time-saving state is set based on the fact that the next jackpot does not occur even after the variable display has finished a specific number of times (in this example, 900 times). Although it is controlled by B, it is assumed that the variable display result of the variable display in which the rescue time saving condition is satisfied becomes a jackpot. Therefore, when the variable display result of the variable display in which the relief time saving condition is satisfied becomes a jackpot, the control is performed to the time saving state A based on the jackpot.

Next, the CPU 103 checks whether the value of the time saving number counter for counting the number of executions of variable display during the time saving state is 0 (step 069SGS66). If the value of the time saving number counter is not 0, the CPU 103 subtracts 1 from the value of the time saving number counter (step 069SGS67), and checks whether the value of the time saving number of times counter after the subtraction is 0 (step 069SGS68). ). If the value of the time saving number counter after the subtraction is 0, the CPU 103 sets a time saving end flag indicating that the time saving state is ended at the end of the variable display (step 069SGS69).

Note that this example shows a case where steps 069SGS66 to 069SGSS69 are executed to perform subtraction processing of the time saving number counter before the counting process of the number of variable display times until relief time saving from step 069SGS71 onwards. It is not limited to the form. For example, the process of subtracting the time saving number counter may be performed after the process of counting the number of times of variable display until the relief time saving from step 069SGS71 onwards is executed. In this case, for example, if the variable display is for saving time saving, if the subtraction process is executed after setting the time saving counter to "110" (see step 069SGS172), the value of the time saving counter will increase by 1. Since the value is subtracted, in the variable display for saving time saving, the value of the time saving number counter may be incremented by 1 again after the subtraction process. Further, the time reduction counter may be configured to be set in advance to "111" which is one more.

Next, the CPU 103 checks whether the probability change flag is set (step 069SGS69A). If the probability variation flag is set (that is, if the probability variation state is present), the process moves to step 069SGS84. In this example, when the process of step 069SGS69A is executed and the game is in a variable probability state, the processes after step 069SGS70 (particularly the process of step 069SGSS71) are not performed, so when the gaming state is in a variable probability state ( In this example, even if the variable display is executed during extreme/battle rush), the value of the rescue time reduction counter is not subtracted. If the probability variation flag is not set (that is, if the state is non-probability variation), the process moves to step 069SGSS70.

Note that in this embodiment, when the probability change flag is set, the process moves to step 069SGS84 without executing the processes from step 069SGSS70 onwards. is set, the process moves to step 069SGSS70, but the process of step 069SGSS71 may not be executed. That is, although the value of the rescue time reduction counter is not updated, a rescue time reduction number designation command or a rescue time reduction number 2 designation command corresponding to the value of the rescue time reduction number counter that has not been updated may be transmitted.

Next, the CPU 103 determines whether the value of the relief time reduction counter is 0 (step 069SGS70; Yes). If the value of the relief time reduction counter is 0 (step 069SGS70; Yes), the process moves to step 069SGS84. If the value of the rescue time saving number counter is 0 at this point, it means that the timing after the time saving state (time saving state B) has already been controlled via the rescue time saving (time saving state B) or the time saving state B This is the timing when the control is returned to the normal state after 1100 fluctuations), and the jackpot that is the trigger for setting the relief time reduction number counter to 900 has not occurred. Further, if the value of the relief time reduction number counter is not 0 (step 069SGS70; No), the value of the relief time reduction number counter is subtracted by 1 (step 069SGS71). In addition, in this example, by executing the process of step 069SGS71, regardless of whether the variable display of the first special symbol or the variable display of the second special symbol is executed. , the value of the relief time reduction counter is uniformly updated.

Next, the CPU 103 checks whether the value of the relief time reduction number counter after the subtraction is 127 or more (step 069SGS72). If the value of the relief time reduction number counter after the subtraction is 126 or less (step 069SGS72; No), the CPU 103 sets a value corresponding to the value of the relief time reduction number counter in the EXT data and issues a relief time reduction number designation command. Control is performed to transmit data to the control CPU 120 (step 069SGS73). For example, when the value of the relief time reduction number counter is 1, the CPU 103 performs control to transmit a command 9401H as a relief time reduction number designation command. Further, when the value of the relief time reduction number counter is 126, the CPU 103 performs control to transmit a command 947EH as a relief time reduction number designation command.

Next, the CPU 103 checks whether the value of the relief time reduction number counter after the subtraction is 0 (step 069SGS74). If the value of the relief time reduction number counter after the subtraction is not 0, the process moves to step 069SGS84. If the value of the relief time reduction count counter after the subtraction is 0, the CPU 103 sets a relief time reduction determination flag indicating that control is to be made to the time reduction state B at the end of the fluctuation based on the occurrence of relief time reduction (step 069SGS75). ). Then, the process moves to step 069SGS84.

On the other hand, if the value of the rescue time reduction number counter after the subtraction is 127 or more (step 069SGS72; Yes), the CPU 103 uniformly sets 7FH as EXT data and sends command 957FH as the rescue time reduction number designation command for effect control. Control is performed to transmit to the CPU 120 (step 069SGS76). Next, the CPU 103 determines the remaining number of variable display times until the relief time is shortened in units of 100 times (in this example, 100 times, 200 times, 300 times, 400 times, 500 times, 600 times, 700 times, or 800 times). It is confirmed whether or not (step 069SGS77). Note that whether or not the remaining number of variable display times until the relief time reduction is in units of 100 can be determined by checking the value of the relief time reduction number counter. If the remaining number of variable display times until relief time reduction is the number of times in units of 100, the CPU 103 sets a value corresponding to the value of the relief time reduction number counter in the EXT data, and issues a relief time reduction number 2 designation command. Control is performed to transmit data to the control CPU 120 (step 069SGS78). For example, when the value of the relief time reduction number counter is 100, the CPU 103 performs control to transmit command 9601H as the relief time reduction number 2 designation command. Further, when the value of the relief time reduction number counter is 800, the CPU 103 performs control to transmit a command 9608H as a relief time reduction number 2 designation command. Then, the process moves to step 069SGS84.

In addition, in this example, when the game control microcomputer 100 (specifically, the CPU 103) side counts the number of variable display times remaining until the relief time reduction, and sends the relief time reduction number designation command and the relief time reduction number 2 designation command. is shown, but is not limited to such an embodiment. For example, the CPU 120 for effect control may be configured to count the number of variable displays remaining until the relief time is shortened and execute a stirring effect or a countdown effect, which will be described later.

For example, if the relief time reduction count counter is set (set to "900") at the timing when the relief time reduction occurs, and the configuration is such that relief time reduction can occur continuously, only when the relief time reduction occurs the first time. The system is configured to send a command for specifying the number of times of saving time reduction and a command for specifying number of times of saving time reducing 2, and is configured not to send a command for specifying number of times of saving time saving and a command for specifying number of times of saving time saving 2 when saving time is shortened from the second time onwards. Good too.

Next, the CPU 103 determines the stop symbols of the special symbols according to the determination result of the jackpot type (step 069SGS84). In this case, for example, if it is decided to make jackpot A, the stopping symbol of the special symbol is determined to be "2", and if it is decided to be jackpot B, the stopping symbol of the special symbol is determined to be "3". If it is determined to be a jackpot C, the stopping symbol of the special symbol is determined to be "7", and if it is determined to be a loss, the stopping symbol of the special symbol is determined to be "-". Further, the CPU 103 stores the determined special symbol stop symbols in the stop symbol storage area provided in the RAM 102 (step 069SGS85).

Then, the CPU 103 updates the value of the special symbol process flag to a value corresponding to the variation pattern setting process (step S111) (step 069SGS86).

(Special pattern stop processing)
11-13 and FIG. 11-14 are flowcharts showing the special symbol stop processing (step S113) in the special symbol process processing. In the special symbol stop process, the CPU 103 first subtracts 1 from the value of the symbol determination period timer (step 069SGS131), and checks whether the value of the symbol determination period timer after the subtraction is 0 (step 069SGS132). .

If the value of the symbol confirmation period timer after the subtraction is not 0 (that is, if the fixed display period of the stop symbols of the first special symbol and the second special symbol has not yet ended), the special symbol stop processing ends. do. If the value of the symbol confirmation period timer after the subtraction is 0 (that is, if the fixed display period of the stop symbols of the first special symbol and the second special symbol has ended), the CPU 103 sets the jackpot flag. It is confirmed whether or not it is set (step 069SGS133). When the jackpot flag is set, the CPU 103 counts the number of executions of the probability variable flag, time saving flag A, time saving flag B, rescue time saving determination flag, and variable display during the time saving state. The time saving number counter is cleared (step 069SGS134).

Next, the CPU 103 sets the relief time reduction counter to "900" (step 069SGS135). Therefore, in this example, when a jackpot is triggered, the relief time reduction counter is set to "900", and even if the variable display is executed 900 times in a low probability state after the jackpot game ends, the next jackpot does not occur. In this case, the rescue time is shortened and the time saving state B is controlled.

In addition, this example shows a case where when a jackpot is achieved by executing the process of step 069SGS135, the rescue time shortening counter is initialized by setting "900" at the start of the fanfare period of the jackpot. However, it is not limited to such an embodiment. For example, the relief time reduction counter may be set to "900" during a round of a jackpot game, and the relief time reduction counter may be initialized to "900" at the start or end of the ending period of a jackpot game. It may be configured as follows.

Next, the CPU 103 performs control to start lighting the right-handed lamp 069SG132 (step 069SGS136). Further, the CPU 103 performs control to transmit a right-handed LED lighting notification command for notifying the lighting of the right-handed LED 069SG031 to the performance control CPU 120 (step 069SGS137).

Next, the CPU 103 performs control to transmit a jackpot start designation command to the performance control CPU 120 (step 069SGS138). Next, the CPU 103 sets a timer for time before the opening of the big winning opening to measure the time before opening the big winning opening (fanfare time) until the first big winning opening 069SG007A and the second big winning opening 069SG007B are controlled to be open. (Step 069SGS139). Then, the CPU 103 updates the value of the special symbol process flag to a value corresponding to the jackpot release preprocessing (step S144) (step 069SGS140).

If the jackpot flag is not set (step 069SGS133; No), the CPU 103 checks whether the relief time saving determination flag is set (step 069SGS170). If the relief time saving determination flag is set, the CPU 103 resets the relief time saving determination flag (step 069SGS171), and if it is set, the CPU 103 sets the time saving flag B to control to the time saving state (step 069SGS171A). . Then, the time saving number counter is set to "1100" (step 069SGS172).

Further, the CPU 103 performs control to transmit a time saving state B designation command to the production control CPU 120 (step 069SGS174). Further, the CPU 103 performs control to start lighting the right-handed batting lamp 069SG132 (step 069SGS174A), and performs control to transmit a right-handed batting LED lighting notification command to notify the lighting of the right-handed batting LED 069SG031 to the production control CPU 120 (step 069SGS174A). 069SGS174B). Thereafter, the process moves to step 069SGS175.

In addition, although this example shows an example in which the time reduction state B is simply controlled at the timing when the relief time reduction occurs, and the relief time reduction number counter is not set, but the present invention is not limited to such an embodiment. For example, it may be configured such that the time reduction state B is controlled at the timing when the relief time reduction occurs, and the relief time reduction number counter is also set (set to "900"). According to such a configuration, it becomes possible to cause the relief time reduction to occur continuously, and once the relief time reduction occurs, it is possible to configure the time saving state to continue until a jackpot occurs.

In addition, in this example, when setting the relief time reduction number counter, "900" is set, and each time the variable display is executed, the value of the relief time reduction number counter is subtracted by 1, so that the value of the relief time reduction number counter becomes "0". ”, but the present invention is not limited to such an embodiment. For example, when setting the relief time reduction counter, set it to "0", and each time you execute the variable display, the value of the relief time reduction counter is incremented by 1, so that the value of the relief time reduction counter becomes "900". It may be configured to shorten the relief time based on this.

Furthermore, in this example, a case is shown in which, by executing the process of step 069SGS172, 1100 times, which is a larger value than the variable display number (900 times) until relief time saving occurs, is set as the number of time saving times. , but is not limited to such embodiments. For example, in step 069SGS172, the time reduction counter may be set to the same value as "900" or a smaller value.

Further, in step 069SGS172, it may be configured such that values corresponding to a plurality of types of times of time saving can be set in the time saving number counter. For example, if the time saving is shortened for the first time, the time saving counter is set to "110", and when the time saving is shortened the second time, the time saving counter is set to "1100". Good too.

Alternatively, for example, a lottery process based on random numbers may be performed to determine the number of time reductions, and in step 069SGS172, a value corresponding to the number of time reductions determined by the lottery process may be set in the time reduction counter. good. In this case, for example, the number of time reductions may be determined to be 110 times with a probability of 10%, and 1100 times with a probability of 90%. In addition, when the number of time savings is determined by lottery processing, the number of time savings may be determined by using the type determination random number used for determining the jackpot type and time saving type, or the number of time savings may be determined using a dedicated random number. You may.

Further, if the relief time saving determination flag is not set in step 069SGS170, the CPU 103 checks whether the time saving end flag is set (step 069SGS141). If the time saving end flag is set, the CPU 103 resets the time saving end flag (step 069SGS142).

Next, the CPU 103 resets any of the set time saving flags (any of the time saving flags A to B) and ends the time saving state (step 069SGS145). Then, the CPU 103 performs control to end lighting of the right-handed lamp 069SG132 (step 069SGS150). Further, the CPU 103 performs control to transmit a right-handed LED extinguishing notification command to the production control CPU 120 to notify that the right-handed LED 069SG031 is turned off (step 069SGS151). Further, the CPU 103 performs control to transmit a normal state designation command (a type of gaming state designation command) to the performance control CPU 120 (step 069SGS152). Then, the process moves to step 069SGS175.

In addition, in this example, by executing the processing of steps 069SGS141 to S152, a transition is made to the normal state at the end of the symbol confirmation period in the time shortening final variation, and the right hit notification is ended. It is not limited to this aspect. For example, in the time saving final variation, it may be configured to shift to the normal state and end the right hit notification at the start of the variation or the start of the symbol confirmation period.

Further, if the time saving end flag is not set in step 069SGS141 (step 069SGS141; No), the process moves to step 069SGS175.

In step 069SGS175, the CPU 103 updates the value of the special symbol process flag to a value corresponding to the special symbol normal process (step S110) (step 069SGS175).

(state transition)
Next, state transition in this embodiment will be explained. FIGS. 11-15 are state transition diagrams for explaining state transitions in this embodiment.

As shown in Figure 11-15, in the normal state (low probability/low base state), if jackpot B occurs and the game ball passes through the probability variable area, it is controlled to the probability variable state, and if jackpot A occurs. In this case, the time saving state A (time saving state via jackpot (low probability/high base state)) is controlled. Although not shown, even if the jackpot B occurs and the game ball does not pass through the variable probability area, the time saving state A (time saving state via the jackpot) is controlled. Also, even if you lose, the next jackpot will not occur if the rescue time is shortened ((P) (P-1) after the RAM clearing process or (P-2) after the probability change state ends). When the number of variable displays reaches 900 times, or (Q) (Q-1) After the completion of 110 variable displays in time saving state A, the number of variable displays reaches 790 times without the next jackpot occurring. case), it is controlled to time saving state B (time saving state via relief time saving (low probability/high base state)).

In addition, as shown in Figure 11-15, in the variable probability state (high probability/high base state), if either jackpot B or jackpot C occurs and the game ball passes through the variable probability region, the state returns to the variable probability state. controlled. Although not shown, if either jackpot B or jackpot C occurs and the game ball does not pass through the probability variable area, the time saving state A (time saving state via jackpot) is controlled.

In addition, as shown in Figure 11-15, in time saving state A (low probability/high base state), if either jackpot B or jackpot C occurs and the game ball passes through the probability variable area, the probability variable state will occur. controlled. Although not shown, if either jackpot B or jackpot C occurs and the game ball does not pass through the variable probability area, the time saving state A (time saving state via jackpot) is controlled again. Further, in the time saving state A, when the variable display is completed 110 times without a jackpot occurring, the control is returned to the normal state.

In addition, as shown in Figure 11-15, in time saving state B (low probability/high base state), if either jackpot B or jackpot C occurs and the game ball passes through the probability variable area, the probability variable state will occur. controlled. Although not shown, if either jackpot B or jackpot C occurs and the game ball does not pass through the variable probability area, the time saving state A (time saving state via jackpot) is controlled again. Further, in the time saving state B, when the variable display is completed 1100 times without a jackpot occurring, the control is returned to the normal state. Furthermore, even if you lose, the next jackpot will not occur if the rescue time is shortened ((P) (P-1) after the RAM clearing process or (P-2) after the probability change state ends). When the number of variable displays reaches 900 times, or (Q) (Q-1) After the completion of 110 variable displays in time saving state A, the number of variable displays reaches 790 times without the next jackpot occurring. case), it is controlled to time saving state B (time saving state via relief time saving).

In addition, in this example, when a jackpot occurs during the time saving state B and the game ball does not enter the probability variable area, the case is shown in which the game is uniformly shifted to the time saving state A. I can't do it. For example, compare the remaining number of current time savings with the number of time savings corresponding to the case where the game ball does not enter the probability variable area (in this example, 110 times), and determine if the remaining number of current time savings is greater. For example, the current time saving state B may be continued as it is.

In this example, although it is possible to execute the variable display of the first special symbol during the time saving state or the variable probability state, it would be a disadvantageous game for the player. 1. State transitions are explained without assuming that variable display of special symbols will be executed.

(Explanation of play time)
Next, the characteristics of "play time" which is the time saving state B (relief time saving state) in this embodiment will be explained based on FIGS. 11-16 to 11-18. In FIGS. 11-16, (A1) and (A2) are diagrams showing an example of the case where "Yutime" is not installed, and (B1) and (B2) are diagrams showing an example of the case where "Yutime" is installed. FIGS. 11-17 (A) to (D) are diagrams showing examples of deviation fluctuations in the normal state. In Figure 11-18, (E1) and (E2) are explanatory diagrams of the play time in which the fluctuation efficiency is unchanged from the normal state, and (F1) to (F4) are explanatory diagrams of the play time in this case where the fluctuation efficiency is higher than the normal state. It is. In addition, in FIGS. 11-16 to 11-18, for convenience of explaining the features of "play time", explanation images different from the effect images explained below will be used for explanation.

First, in the case of a pachinko game machine that is not equipped with the "play time" of this embodiment, for example, as shown in FIGS. A variable display of a specific number of times (for example, 900 times when the jackpot probability is about 1/300, about 3 times the jackpot probability denominator) is performed without being controlled by the jackpot state (low probability/low base state)). Even if you do, you will not be controlled into a "play time" state, that is, a time-saving state. At this point, the jackpot probability denominator is already about three times higher, so the player continues to play for a long time without hitting the jackpot, and his investment is also increasing. However, this normal state (low probability/low base state) continues until a jackpot occurs, and further investment is required, which may significantly reduce the player's desire to play.

On the other hand, in the case of a pachinko game machine equipped with the "play time" of this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. When a variable display is performed a specific number of times (for example, about 2.5 to 3 times the jackpot probability denominator) without being controlled by the jackpot in the certain/low base state), it becomes "play time" and time saving state B (for example, 1100 times, or about 3.8 times the jackpot probability denominator at maximum) is controlled to the time saving state B. At this point, the probability of hitting the jackpot is already about three times higher, so the player continues to play for a long time without hitting the jackpot, and his investment is quite high. However, by controlling the "play time", that is, the time-saving state B, additional investment is suppressed and the possibility of a jackpot is increased, so it is possible to suppress a decrease in the desire to play.

Furthermore, as shown in Figures 11-17 (A) to (D), the player continues to play without winning a jackpot for a period from the end of the jackpot until the "play time" is controlled. (``addicted''), and various preview performances have been carried out during that period to continue to stir up excitement. In addition, when the variable display is performed 900 times, for example, when the variable display is executed the first time (for example, 105 times) after the end of the jackpot (see Figure 11-17 (A)), the variable display is executed the second time (for example, 105 times) (see Figure 11-17 (A)). For example, when the variable display is executed the third time (for example, 506 times) (see Figure 11-17 (C)), the variable display When executed the fourth time (for example, 882 times) (see Figure 11-17 (D)), there are multiple performances with high expectations for jackpots such as at least SP reach (for example, SP reach performance of "Gekatsu"). It has been executed twice and these SP reach effects keep coming off, so there is a high possibility that he is quite depressed.

Therefore, as shown in Figures 11-18 (E1) and (E2), even if control is finally made to "play time" (time saving state B) after 900 variable displays, this time saving state B is normally If the fluctuation efficiency is low, such as the state (low accuracy/low base state), the number of wasted balls batted will increase, leading to further additional investment and prolongation of the game. Also, in the 900 variable displays, all SP reach effects have been missed, which is quite depressing, so if the provocation effects occur frequently during "play time," the player's desire to play will decrease.

Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 11-18 (F1) to (F4), the "free time" (time saving state B) of this embodiment has a higher fluctuation efficiency than the normal state (low accuracy/low base state). Since this is a time-saving state, it is possible to continue playing the game while suppressing additional investment. In addition, the time saving control is such that the variable display is executed the number of times corresponding to the time saving state B (for example, 1100 times, the maximum number of times is about 3.8 times the jackpot probability), so that the period during which the variable display is controlled in the time saving state B is executed. Since the probability of winning the jackpot is high (for example, about 97%), you can play the game with confidence. For example, if the jackpot probability is 1/319.9, the probability of not hitting the jackpot with one variable display is approximately 99% {(319.9-1) ÷ 319.9 = 0.996874}, which is 1100 rotations. The probability that you won't hit the jackpot within that time is approximately 3% (0.996874^1100=0.031937). Therefore, the probability of hitting the jackpot within 1100 rotations is approximately 97% (1-0.031937=0.968063).

Furthermore, in "Play Time", the variable display period of the selected fluctuation pattern is short, so the fluctuation efficiency is higher than in other time-saving states, so it is possible to efficiently digest the variable display and hit the jackpot in a short period of time. This is an advantageous state in which there is a high possibility that a jackpot that is advantageous to the player (for example, jackpot B or jackpot C) will be awarded by hitting the jackpot in the second special game due to the right-handed game. be. Further, since the preview performance, SP reach performance, etc. which will be described later are less likely to be executed, and there is less opportunity to be provoked by a missed performance, it is possible to suitably suppress a decrease in the desire to play. In other words, the "play time" of this embodiment is different from a gaming state in which one waits for the next jackpot while enjoying the performance, such as the variable probability state or the time saving state A, and the "play time" is more about waiting for the next jackpot than enjoying the performance. This is a gaming state where priority is given to efficiently digesting the game and winning the next jackpot. The details of the "play time" (time saving state B) of this embodiment will be explained below.

(Battle Rush)
In this embodiment, when controlled to time saving state A via jackpot A, the performance mode is controlled to "battle rush". FIG. 11-19(A) is a diagram showing an example of the effect on the image display device 5 when the effect mode is controlled to "battle rush".

As shown in FIG. 11-19 (A1), when the gaming state is controlled to a low accuracy/high base state (time saving state A) and the value of the time saving number counter is between 0 and 110, the production mode is set to " ``BATTLE RUSH'', a second background image 069SG320 representing an evening cityscape is displayed as the background image of the decorative pattern, and the image of ``BATTLE RUSH'' is displayed at the top of the screen of the image display device 5. A performance mode display 069SG221 consisting of characters is displayed. In addition, at the lower left of the screen of the image display device 5, a time saving remaining display 069SG201 (in this example, the characters "XX times remaining", XX= 0 to 110) are displayed, and the right-handed hitting notification image 069SG400 and the words "right-handed hitting" are displayed at the lower right of the screen of the image display device 5.

At this time, in response to the variable display of the second special symbol being executed, active display 069SG003 is displayed in the active display area 069SG013, and this corresponds to the fact that the value of the second reserved memory number is 4. Four second hold displays 069SG002 are displayed in the second hold display area 069SG012. In addition, at the upper left of the screen of the image display device 5, a small pattern corresponding to the first pending memory number (for example, the number "0", etc.), the second pending memory number (for example, the number "4", etc.), and the decorative pattern is displayed. A display area 5SL for displaying arrows (for example, arrows "↓↓↓") is provided, and small symbols are variably displayed in synchronization with the variable display of decorative symbols.

In addition, the above-mentioned first pending memory number, second pending memory number, pending display, small symbol, error display (not shown) indicating an error state that has occurred in the pachinko gaming machine 1, time saving remaining display 069SG201, right hit notification image 069SG400 For example, by displaying on the front side (upper layer) than the effect images such as characters, the effect images overlap and the visibility of the number of first reserved memories, the number of second reserved memories, small symbols, and error displays is reduced. On the other hand, by displaying the decorative designs on the back side (lower layer) of the performance images, it is possible to prevent the decorative designs from overlapping and reducing the visibility of the performance images. You can do it like this.

Incidentally, the above-mentioned small symbol is also referred to as the fourth symbol. The fourth symbol is a symbol indicating that the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) is variably displayed, and is displayed in a constant manner in a manner that is always visible on a display device such as the image display device 5, for example. It is displayed variably depending on the operation (see the small pattern displayed in the display area 5SL shown in FIG. 11-19 (A1), etc.). By variably displaying the fourth symbol, an effect may be performed in which the effect content including the variable display of the decorative pattern momentarily disappears from the screen, or the movable body 32 may be displayed on all or part of the screen of the image display device 5. Even if the decorative pattern is difficult to recognize, such as when a display is performed that blocks the display, it is possible to recognize whether or not the display is currently in a variable display state. The performance control CPU performs variable display of the fourth symbol corresponding to the first special symbol by operating the image display device 5 based on receiving the first variable display start command. Moreover, based on receiving the second variable display start command, the performance control CPU operates the image display device 5 to perform variable display of the fourth symbol corresponding to the second special symbol.

In addition, a fourth symbol display is provided at a location other than the image display device 5 (for example, the special variable winning ball device 7, which is a predetermined location on the game board 2), such as LED069SG032 for the first special symbol and LED069SG033 for the second special symbol. The pattern displayed on the device is also referred to as the fourth pattern.

Next, as shown in FIG. 11-19 (A2), after the 110th variable display is completed when the gaming state is controlled to the time saving state A, the gaming state is controlled to the low accuracy/low base state (normal state). In this case, the first background image 069SG310 representing a daytime city scene is displayed as the background image of the decorative pattern, and the first background image 069SG310 is displayed at the bottom right of the screen of the image display device 5. A variable display number display 069SG202 (in this example, characters "game 0 times") corresponding to the variable display number of times is displayed. At this time, the production mode display 069SG221 at the top of the screen of the image display device 5, the time saving remaining display 069SG201 at the bottom left of the screen of the image display device 5 (in this example, the characters "XX times remaining", XX = 0 to 100), the image The right-handed hitting notification image 069SG400 and the characters "right-handed hitting" at the lower right of the screen of the display device 5 are erased.

In addition, when the value of the relief time reduction counter is 300 or less when the control is in the low accuracy/low base state (normal state), a countdown effect to be described later is executed, and the right side of the screen of the image display device 5 is displayed. At the bottom, a special number of times display 069SG203 (in this example, the characters "until 1100 BATTLE RUSH", the characters "XXX more times", and a triangular object, XXX=1 to 300) are displayed.

(Yu・1100 Battle Rush [Yu Time])
In this embodiment, when controlled to time saving state B via rescue time saving, the production mode is controlled to "Play 1100 Battle Rush" (also referred to as "Play Time"). FIG. 11-19(B) is a diagram showing an example of the effect on the image display device 5 when the effect mode is controlled to "Play/1100 Battle Rush".

As shown in FIG. 11-19 (B1), when the gaming state is controlled to a low accuracy/high base state (time saving state B) and the value of the time saving number counter is between 0 and 1100, the production mode is set to " 1100 Battle Rush", a third background image 069SG330 representing a night city scene is displayed as the background image of the decorative pattern, and at the top of the screen of the image display device 5, "Play 1100 Battle Rush" is displayed.・A performance mode display 069SG222 consisting of the characters "1100 BATTLE RUSH" is displayed. In addition, at the lower left of the screen of the image display device 5, a time saving remaining display 069SG201 (in this example, characters "XX times remaining", XX=0 to 1100) are displayed, and the right-handed hitting notification image 069SG400 and the words "right-handed hitting" are displayed at the bottom right of the screen of the image display device 5. In addition, at the upper left of the screen of the image display device 5, a small pattern corresponding to the first pending memory number (for example, the number "0", etc.), the second pending memory number (for example, the number "4", etc.), and the decorative pattern is displayed. A display area 5SL for displaying arrows (for example, arrows "↓↓↓") is provided, and small symbols are variably displayed in synchronization with the variable display of decorative symbols.

In addition, regarding the remaining time saving display 069SG201, the display mode (for example, design, font, color, etc.) is common for the variable probability state, time saving state A, and time saving state B, so that costs can be reduced. .

Next, as shown in FIG. 11-19 (B2), after the 1100th variable display is completed when the gaming state is controlled to the time saving state B, when the gaming state is controlled to the low accuracy/low base state, The first background image 069SG310 is displayed as the background image of the decorative pattern. At this time, the characters "1100 BATTLE RUSH" are displayed at the top of the screen of the image display device 5, and the time saving remaining display 069SG201 is displayed at the bottom left of the screen of the image display device 5 (in this example, the characters "XX times remaining", XX=0~ 1100), the right-handed hitting notification image 069SG400 and the words "right-handed hitting" at the bottom right of the screen of the image display device 5 are deleted.

In addition, in this embodiment, after the 1100th variable display ends without a jackpot occurring in the time saving state B, even if the variable display is executed 900 times without a jackpot occurring in the low probability state, the time saving will continue. It is not controlled by state B. Therefore, after the 110th variable display ends without a jackpot in the time saving state A or the variable probability state described later, the variable display number display 069SG202 is displayed at the lower right of the screen of the image display device 5. On the other hand, after the 1100th variable display ends without a jackpot occurring in the time saving state B, the variable display number display 069SG202 is not displayed on the image display device 5. By doing this, after the 1100th variable display ends without a jackpot in the time saving state B, if the 900th variable display is executed without a jackpot in the low probability state, the time saving state is reached. This can prevent B from thinking that he is being controlled.

In addition, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11-19 (B1), during the period when the time saving state B is controlled, the active display 069SG003 is displayed in the active display area 069SG013, and the active display 069SG003 is displayed in the second hold display area 069SG012. Although the second hold display 069SG002 is displayed as an example, the present invention is not limited to this. During the period when the time saving state B is controlled, the active display 069SG003 and the second hold display 069SG002 are displayed. You may choose not to do so. In addition, in the time saving state A and the probability changing state, the active display 069SG003 and the second pending display 069SG002 may be displayed or may not be displayed.

In addition, after the 110th variable display when the gaming state is controlled to the time saving state A, when the gaming state is controlled to the low accuracy/low base state, for example, characters such as "BATLE RUSH end" are displayed. After that, control may be performed to a low accuracy/low base state. On the other hand, after the 1100th variable display when the gaming state is controlled to the time saving state B, when the gaming state is controlled to the low accuracy/low base state, the characters such as "BATLE RUSH end" as described above are displayed. It is preferable not to display it.

In addition, after the 1100th variable display when the gaming state is controlled to time-saving state B, when the game state is controlled to low accuracy/low base state, the shutter effect ( (see FIG. 11-23(B)), and then control to the low accuracy/low base state may be performed.

In addition, when the 101st variable display starts when the gaming state is controlled to the time saving state A, a countdown notification indicating that there are 10 remaining time saving times is performed, while the gaming state is in the time saving state. Even if the 1091st variable display starts while being controlled by B, the countdown notification may not be performed.By doing this, the time saving state B (play time) is likely to end, but the countdown notification may not be performed. You can prevent this from happening.

(Kiwami Battle Rush)
In this embodiment, when controlled to change probability state via jackpot B or jackpot C, the performance mode is controlled to "extreme/battle rush". FIG. 11-20 is a diagram showing an example of the effect on the image display device 5 when the effect mode is controlled to "Extreme/Battle Rush".

As shown in Figure 11-20 (A), when the gaming state is controlled to a high accuracy/high base state (variable probability state) and the value of the time saving number counter is between 11 and 110, the production mode is set to "Extreme".・Battle Rush", a fourth background image 069SG340 representing a daytime wilderness landscape is displayed as the background image of the decorative pattern, and at the top of the screen of the image display device 5 is "Polar Battle Rush". A production mode display 069SG223 consisting of the characters "RUSH" is displayed. In addition, at the bottom left of the screen of the image display device 5, a time saving remaining display 069SG201 (in this example, the characters "XX times remaining", XX= 11 to 110) are displayed, and the right-handed hitting notification image 069SG400 and the words "right-handed hitting" are displayed at the bottom right of the screen of the image display device 5. In addition, at the upper left of the screen of the image display device 5, a small pattern corresponding to the first pending memory number (for example, the number "0", etc.), the second pending memory number (for example, the number "4", etc.), and the decorative pattern is displayed. A display area 5SL for displaying arrows (for example, arrows "↓↓↓") is provided, and small symbols are variably displayed in synchronization with the variable display of decorative symbols.

Next, as shown in FIG. 11-20(B), when the gaming state is controlled to the high accuracy/high base state and the value of the time saving number counter is between 0 and 10, the lower left of the screen of the image display device 5 is displayed. In the part, an emphasized time saving remaining display 069SG201 in an enlarged form than the time saving remaining display 069SG201 when the value of the time saving number counter is 11 to 110 (in this example, the characters "XX times remaining", XX = 0 to 10 ) is displayed. Note that the emphasized time-saving remaining display 069SG201 is not limited to an enlarged form of the time-saving remaining display 069SG201, and the display color of the time-saving remaining display 069SG201 may be changed or an effect display may be added to the time-saving remaining display 069SG201. Further, a dedicated sound effect may be reproduced and output from the speaker at the timing when the time saving remaining display 069SG201 is switched to the emphasized time saving remaining display 069SG201.

Also, in the time saving state A and the time saving state B, the remaining time saving display may be displayed in the same manner as in the variable probability state. Further, regarding the time saving state B, stress may not be given to the player by not displaying the emphasized time saving remaining display.

Next, as shown in FIG. 11-20(C), when the gaming state is controlled to a high accuracy/high base state, the 110th variable display is executed in which the display result is "lost". , a result image 069SG500 is displayed on the entire screen of the image display device 5. The result image 069SG500 is given the words "Goku/BATTLE RUSH ended" to notify that the Goku/Battle Rush has ended, and the text "BONUS x x times" indicating the number of jackpots (where "Z" is the number of jackpots). The characters "XXXX pt" indicating the total number of game balls given (XXXX is the total number of game balls given) are included.

The number of jackpots included in this result image 069SG500 is the number of consecutive jackpots based on the variable display in a high probability state (the so-called number of consecutive hits), and the total number of awarded game balls is the number of consecutive hits This includes the number of prize balls awarded in the jackpot.

Next, as shown in FIG. 11-20(D), after the 110 variable displays are completed when the gaming state is controlled to the high accuracy/high base state, the gaming state is controlled to the low accuracy/low base state. In this case, the first background image 069SG310 is displayed as the background image of the decorative pattern, and the variable display number corresponding to the variable display number executed after being controlled to the low accuracy/low base state is displayed at the bottom right of the screen of the image display device 5. Display 069SG202 (in this example, characters "game 0") is displayed. At this time, the production mode display 069SG223 at the top of the screen of the image display device 5, the emphasized time saving remaining display 069SG201 at the bottom left of the screen of the image display device 5 (in this example, the characters "XX times remaining", X = 0 to 10), The right-handed hitting notification image 069SG400 and the characters "right-handed hitting" at the lower right of the screen of the image display device 5 are erased.

Incidentally, when the game state is controlled from the variable probability state, the time saving state A, and the time saving state B to the normal state, a left hitting notification performance may be executed to instruct the player to play left based on the completion of the time saving control. In the left-handed hitting notification effect, a left-handed hitting notification image, the words "left-handed hitting", and an arrow image are displayed in the center of the screen of the image display device 5, and a sound saying "please hit left-handed hitting" is played back and output from the speakers 8L and 8R. be done.

Also, as shown in Figure 11-19 (A2), after the 110th variable display is completed when the time-saving state A is controlled, or when the time-saving state B is controlled as shown in Figure 11-19 (B2). Either after the 1100th variable display is completed when the state is being controlled, or after the 110th variable display is completed when the variable state is controlled as shown in FIG. 11-20(D), By displaying the variable display number of the variable display number display 069SG202 as a common "0 times" when control of the low accuracy/low base state (normal state) is started, the state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 (the previous jackpot) It is possible to prevent the user from easily knowing whether the user is being controlled in time-saving state A, time-saving state B, variable probability state, etc., and to increase expectations for being controlled in time-saving state B.

In addition, when the control of the low accuracy/low base state (normal state) is started, the variable display number displayed on the variable display number display 069SG202 is "110 times" when the control of the time saving state A is finished; The number of variable display times executed in each state may be displayed, such as "1100 times" when the control in the time saving state B has ended, and "110 times" when the control in the variable probability state has ended. By doing this, it is possible to roughly check the state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 (the type of jackpot it hit last time, whether it was controlled in time-saving state A, time-saving state B, or variable probability state), and thereby the time-saving state B. Since it becomes easier to predict the number of variable displays until the game is controlled, this can lead to an increase in the desire to play.

In addition, in time-saving state A and time-saving state B, a common song (for example, song A) is fixedly played as BGM, and in the variable probability state, multiple songs including song A (for example, songs A to X, etc.) are played as BGM. One of them may be selectable, and the selected song may be playable.

In addition, when a song A is played in the time saving state A and the variable probability state, the game effect lamp 9 and the movable LED 208 are set to emit light in a light emission pattern corresponding to the song A (such as a light emission pattern that matches the rhyme of the song). You can also do this.

In addition, when the song A is played in the time saving state B, the game effect lamp 9, the movable LED 208, etc. have a different light emission pattern (such as a light emitting pattern that matches the background image) than when the song A is played in the time saving state A and the probability change state. It may also be made to emit light.
Furthermore, the light emitting pattern of the game effect lamp 9 and the movable body LED 208 in the time saving state A and the variable probability state (a pattern that matches the rhyme of the song) is better than the light emission pattern of the game effect lamp 9 and the movable body LED 208 in the time saving state B. (The pattern matching the background image) is emphasized, and the light emitting pattern of the game effect lamp 9, the movable LED 208, etc. in the time saving state B becomes a calm light emitting pattern. Note that the light emission patterns to be emphasized include patterns with higher brightness than the calm light emission patterns, patterns with short switching intervals of light emission data, patterns with short blinking cycles, and the like. By doing this, in the time saving state B, as explained in the flow above, the player may be depressed, so the light emitting pattern of the game effect lamp 9 and the movable LED 208 is overemphasized. By calming the player down, it is possible to prevent the player from becoming dissatisfied.

Also, for example, a common background image is displayed in time-saving state A and time-saving state B, but in time-saving state B, the perspective (visibility) of the background image is different from that in time-saving state A, so that the same background image is displayed. Even when images are used, it may be possible to make it clear that they are in a completely different state (give a different impression).

Also, the sizes of the decorative patterns in time-saving state A and time-saving state B are different (for example, time-saving state A: normal, time-saving state B: large), and even if the background image is used, the states are completely different. You can also make it easy to understand (give an impression).

Further, after the execution of the variable entry effect/time saving effect A, a display to prevent forgetting to take out a prepaid card or a display of the gaming machine manufacturer may be performed. In this case, after execution of the time-saving effect B, it is preferable not to display a display to prevent forgetting to take out a prepaid card or display a gaming machine manufacturer. By doing so, it is possible to prevent stress from being caused to the player by performing the above display when entering the time saving state B without going through the jackpot.

(Variable display number display, special number display)
In the present embodiment, when the gaming state is controlled to the low accuracy/low base state (normal state), a message indicating that the game will be executed after being controlled to the low accuracy/low base state is displayed at the bottom right of the screen of the image display device 5. A variable display number display 069SG202 (in this example, characters such as "Game XXX times") corresponding to the number of variable displays that have been performed, and a special number display 069SG203 (in this example, corresponding to the remaining number of variable displays until the shortened rescue time is reached) , "Until 1100 BATTLE RUSH", "XXX more times", triangular objects, etc.) can be displayed. In this embodiment, the effect in which the special number of times display is displayed shall be referred to as a countdown effect.

In this embodiment, it is determined whether the variable display number display or the special display number is displayed depending on the value of the relief time reduction counter. Further, the display mode of the special number display can be changed according to the value of the relief time reduction number counter. FIG. 11-21 is a diagram showing an example of the effect on the image display device 5 when a variable display number display or a special display number display is displayed.

As shown in FIG. 11-21(A), when the value of the rescue time reduction counter is between 301 and 900, the variable display number display 069SG202 (in this example, "Game XXX characters, XXX=0 to 699, etc.) are displayed. The number (XXX) in the variable display count display 069SG202 is added and displayed each time the variable display is executed.

As shown in FIG. 11-21(B), when the value of the rescue time reduction counter is between 31 and 300, a countdown effect is executed, and a special number of times is displayed in white at the bottom right of the screen of the image display device 5. (In this example, the text "Until 1100 BATTLE RUSH", the white text "XXX more times", and a white triangular object, XXX=31 to 300) are displayed.

As shown in FIG. 11-21(C), when the value of the rescue time reduction counter is 30, a countdown effect is executed, and the special number display 069SG203 (main In the example, the text "Until 1100 BATTLE RUSH", the red text "XXX more times", and the red triangular object (XXX=30) are enlarged for a predetermined period (for example, about 3 seconds), and then the image is displayed. As shown in 11-21(D), the image is moved to the lower right corner of the screen of the image display device 5 and displayed in a reduced size. Then, when the value of the rescue time reduction number counter is 1 to 30, a countdown effect is executed, and a special number of times is displayed in red at the bottom right of the screen of the image display device 5. ``Up to'', red letters ``XXX more times'', and a red triangular object (XXX=1 to 30) are displayed.

In this embodiment, the special number display is not displayed in the variable display when the value of the rescue time reduction counter becomes 0; however, the value of the rescue time reduction counter is not limited to such a form. In the variable display when the number becomes 0, a special number of times display may be displayed. For example, in a variable display in which the value of the relief time reduction number counter becomes 1, if a variable display in which the value of the relief time reduction number counter becomes 0 is executed after a special number display in red mode is displayed, then a special number display in gold mode is executed. A number of times display 069SG203 (in this example, characters such as "Until 1100 BATTLE RUSH", gold characters "0 times left", a golden triangular object, etc.) may be displayed.

In addition, in this embodiment, the variable display number display 069SG202 is hidden during the period when the special number display 069SG203 is displayed, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the variable display number display 069SG202 is not displayed. The special number display 069SG203 may be displayed while the display number display 069SG202 is displayed, and in conjunction with the variable display, addition display of the variable display number display 069SG202 and subtraction display of the special number display 069SG203 may be performed. In this case, the variable display number display 069SG202 is displayed in a manner with lower visibility than the special number display 069SG203 (for example, the variable display number display 069SG202 is displayed in a smaller size than the special number display 069SG203, etc., in an inconspicuous manner. ) is preferable.

Furthermore, the trigger for starting the display of the special number of times display 069SG203 may be at a certain timing, such as when the variable display starts when the remaining number of variable displays until the time saving state B is controlled is 50. Okay, the timing when the special number display 069SG203 display start lottery is executed and won, the timing when the variable pattern of SP reach ends, or the remaining number of variable displays until it is controlled to time saving state B is 50. The timing may be irregular, such as when it is suggested that the remaining number of times has reached the remaining number of times by performing a performance suggesting the remaining number of times. Furthermore, when starting to display the special number of times display 069SG203, the special number of times display 069SG203 may be highlighted by displaying it on the entire screen. Further, instead of displaying the special number of times display 069SG203, it may be possible to execute a special background effect that switches to a special effect mode (for example, "If you reach, it will be very hot").

Also, when the value of the relief time reduction number counter becomes 301 to 900, the change pattern table is changed to a variation pattern table that makes it more difficult to determine the fluctuation pattern of SP reach than before the value of the relief time reduction number counter becomes 301 to 900. It's okay. By doing so, it becomes possible to play the game with a variable display that takes into account the intentions of the player who wants to quickly shorten the rescue time.

Furthermore, during the display period of the special number of times display 069SG203 (including the above-mentioned full-screen display period), the execution of various preview effects described below may be restricted (for example, not executed or displayed in an inconspicuous manner). . In addition, if the execution timing of the preview effect and the display period of the special number display 069SG203 (including the above full-screen display period) overlap, the special number display 069SG203 may be displayed in a manner that is not highlighted, or the pre-read notice described below may be displayed. If the execution time of the production and the display period of the special number display 069SG203 (including the above full-screen display period) overlap, the special number display 069SG203 will be displayed when the variable display starts after the pre-read preview production ends. display, or if a predetermined variable display during the display period of the special number display 069SG203 (including the above full-screen display period) results in a jackpot, the display of the special number display 069SG203 may be restricted (for example, it may not be displayed or it may not be displayed conspicuously). (e.g. display in a different manner).

(Example of performance when relief time is shortened)
As mentioned above, (i) If the relief time shortening is reached after the RAM clear process is executed (if the relief time shortening is reached without hitting the jackpot even once after RAM clearing), the symbol is confirmed in the relief time shortening variation. A design confirmation command with a period of 0.5 seconds is sent, and (ii) after a jackpot, the relief time shortening is reached in 900 variable displays (hitting the jackpot once, then reaching the relief time shortening without hitting the jackpot) In this case), a symbol confirmation B designation command is sent in which the symbol confirmation period is 20 seconds in the relief time shortening variation. In the present embodiment, since the symbol confirmation period is different between the above case (i) and the above case (ii), the low accuracy/high base state is started after the relief time short arrival variation in the low accuracy/low base state ends. (Time-saving state B) and the performance mode during the period (namely, symbol confirmation period) until the relief time-saving game starts is different.

Next, an example of the effect when (i) the rescue time shortening is reached after the RAM clearing process is executed will be described with reference to FIGS. 11-22 to 11-25. In this example, a case will be described in which (i) the rescue time shortening is reached after the RAM clear process is executed, and the variation pattern is "non-reach (shortened non-reach B or non-reach B) off".

(Example of production in case (i))
Figure 11-22 shows the execution of each effect when the fluctuation pattern is determined to be "non-reach (shortened non-reach B or non-reach B) off" when the rescue time shortening is reached after the RAM clear process is executed. This is a time chart showing the timing, and FIGS. 11-23 are explanatory diagrams showing examples of effect images related to each of these effects.

First, as shown in FIG. 11-23(A), when the gaming state is controlled to the normal state (low probability/low base state), the CPU 103 displays the variable display of the first special symbol (relief time shortening counter). At the timing to end the variable display (when the value is 1) (at the timing T1 shown in FIG. 11-22), the production control CPU 120, which has received the symbol confirmation A designation command, displays the symbol display area of the image display device 5. At 5L, 5C, and 5R, the combination of decorative symbols (in this example, "146") is determined and stopped. That is, the combination of decorative symbols that result in a "miss" display result is fixed and stopped.

At this time, the production control CPU 120 displays the active display 069SG003 in the active display area 069SG013, and displays the pending display 069SG001 in the first pending display area 069SG011 based on the fact that the first pending memory number is 1. I'm letting you do it. Furthermore, the performance control CPU 120 displays the first background image 069SG310 as the background image of the decorative symbol based on the fact that the gaming state is the normal state.

In addition, the performance control CPU 120 causes the display area 5SL to display the character "1" because the first pending memory number is 1, and to display the character "0" because the second pending memory number is 0. ing. Further, the combination of small symbols (in this example, "146") is fixed and stopped in the small symbol display area. That is, the combination of small symbols that results in a "miss" display result is fixed and stopped.

Next, as shown in FIG. 11-23 (B), at the timing when the CPU 103 starts variable display of the first special symbol (variable display when the value of the relief time reduction counter becomes 0) (see FIG. 11-22) At the timing T2 shown), the effect control CPU 120 executes the shutter effect and displays the shutter image 069SG250 on the entire screen of the image display device 5.

Next, as shown in FIG. 11-23(C), at the timing when the CPU 103 ends the variable display of the first special symbol (at the timing T3 shown in FIG. 11-22), the effect is that the symbol confirmation A designation command is received. The control CPU 120 determines and stops the final combination of small symbols (in this example, "234") in the small symbol display area of the image display device 5. That is, the combination of small symbols that results in a "miss" display result is fixed and stopped. In addition, in response to the end of the variable display, the right-handed hitting notification image 069SG400 and the words "right-handed hitting" are displayed at the bottom right of the screen of the image display device 5, and the right-handed hitting notification image 069SG400 and the words "right-handed hitting" are displayed at the center of the screen of the image display device 5. A right-hand hitting notification image 069SG401, which is larger than the notification image 069SG400, and the characters "right-hand hitting" are displayed in a fade-in manner. By doing this, if only the shutter image 069SG250 is displayed, the player will continue to play the left-handed game and the player will lose interest in the game. By displaying the notification image 069SG401 in a fade-in manner, it is possible to suitably lead to a right-handed game.

Next, as shown in FIG. 11-23 (D), at the timing when the symbol confirmation period (0.5 seconds) specified by the symbol confirmation A designation command has elapsed (at the timing T4 shown in FIG. 11-22), When the game state is controlled to the time saving state B (low accuracy/high base state), the production control CPU 120 sets the production mode as the background image of the decorative pattern in response to the production mode becoming "Play 1100 Battle Rush". The third background image 069SG330 is displayed. At this time, the performance control CPU 120 displays a performance mode display 069SG222 consisting of the characters "YU・1100BATTLE RUSH" at the top of the screen of the image display device 5, and displays a time saving remaining display 069SG201 (main) at the bottom left of the screen of the image display device 5. In the example, the characters "XX times left" (XX=1100) are displayed, and the right-handed hitting notification image 069SG400 and the characters "right-handed hit" are displayed at the lower right of the screen of the image display device 5. At this time, the effect control CPU 120 displays the previously executed decorative pattern combination ("234" in this example) in the pattern display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of the image display device 5. Moreover, the combination of small symbols executed immediately before ("234" in this example) is displayed in the small symbol display area.

Next, (ii) an example of the effect when the relief time is shortened after 900 variable displays after hitting the jackpot will be described using FIGS. 11-24(A) and 11-25. In this example, (ii) after hitting the jackpot, a case will be explained in which the relief time shortening is reached in 900 variable displays and the variation pattern is "non-reach (shortened non-reach B or non-reach B) off".

(Example of production in case (ii))
Figure 11-24 shows (A) when the variation pattern is determined to be "non-reach (shortened non-reach B or non-reach B) off" when the relief time shortening is reached after 900 variable displays after hitting the jackpot. (B) is a time chart showing the execution timing of each performance, and (B) is a time chart showing a modification of the time-saving rush performance B. FIG. 11-25 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of effect images related to each of these effects.

First, the production structure in Figures 11-25 (A) and (B) is the "non-reach (shortened non-retrieval)" when the rescue time shortening is reached after the RAM clearing process shown in Figures 11-23 (A) and (B). Since it is the same as the production structure in the variation pattern of "reach or non-reach", the explanation will be omitted.

Next, as shown in FIG. 11-25 (C), at the timing when the CPU 103 ends the variable display of the first special symbol (at the timing T3 shown in FIG. 11-24 (A)), the CPU 103 issues a symbol confirmation B designation command. The received performance control CPU 120 determines and stops the final combination of small symbols (in this example, "234") in the small symbol display area of the image display device 5. That is, the combination of small symbols that results in a "miss" display result is fixed and stopped. In addition, in response to the end of the variable display, a right-handed hitting notification image 069SG400 and the words "right-handed hitting" are displayed on the lower right side of the screen of the image display device 5 in front of the shutter image 069SG250. In the center of the screen, a right-handed player notification image 069SG401, which is larger than the right-handed player notification image 069SG400, and the words "Right-handed player" are displayed in a fade-in manner. By doing this, if only the shutter image 069SG250 is displayed, the player will continue to play the left-handed game and the player will lose interest in the game. By displaying the notification image 069SG401 in a fade-in manner, it is possible to suitably lead to a right-handed game.

Next, as shown in Figure 11-25 (D), at the timing when 0.5 seconds have elapsed of the symbol determination period (20 seconds) specified by the symbol determination B designation command (as shown in Figure 11-24 (A)). At the timing of T4 shown in FIG. After the fade-out display, a time-saving rushing effect B is executed, and a rushing image 069SG473 (in this example, an image including the characters "Play 1100 BATTLE RUSH rushing"), which will be described later, is displayed on the entire screen of the image display device 5. In the time-saving rush performance B, the player is informed that the gaming state will be controlled to the time-saving state B (low probability/high base state) by displaying the rush image 069SG473 that includes the words "Play 1100 BATTLE RUSH rush". ing.

In addition, the entry image 069SG473 is displayed in the lower left corner of the display screen in the minimum size and with a transmittance of 0%, together with the entry image 069SG470, which is commonly displayed when control in the time saving state A and variable probability state is started. The play time image 069SG473A is composed of the characters "1100", and the play time image 069SG473B is composed of the characters "YU".

Next, as shown in FIG. 11-25 (E), at the timing when the symbol confirmation period (20 seconds) specified by the symbol confirmation B designation command has elapsed (at the timing of T5 shown in FIG. 11-24 (A)). , when the game state is controlled to time saving state B (low accuracy/high base state), the performance control CPU 120 changes the background image of the decorative pattern in response to the fact that the performance mode becomes "Play 1100 Battle Rush". The third background image 069SG330 is displayed as the third background image 069SG330. At this time, the performance control CPU 120 displays a performance mode display 069SG222 consisting of the characters "YU・1100BATTLE RUSH" at the top of the screen of the image display device 5, and displays a time saving remaining display 069SG201 (main) at the bottom left of the screen of the image display device 5. In the example, the characters "XX times left" (XX=1100) are displayed, and the right-handed hitting notification image 069SG400 and the characters "right-handed hit" are displayed at the lower right of the screen of the image display device 5. At this time, the effect control CPU 120 displays the previously executed decorative pattern combination ("234" in this example) in the pattern display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of the image display device 5. Furthermore, the combination of small symbols executed immediately before (in this example, "234") is displayed in the small symbol display area.

In addition, in the examples of FIGS. 11-24 (A) and 11-25, at the timing when the symbol confirmation period (20 seconds) specified by the symbol confirmation B designation command has elapsed and the gaming state is controlled to time-saving state B. , an example is shown in which the production mode is "Play/1100 Battle Rush" and the third background image 069SG330 is displayed, but it is not limited to this form, and the pattern confirmation period (20 The production mode may be changed to "Game 1100 Battle Rush" and the third background image 069SG330 may be displayed at a timing different from the timing at which the gaming state is controlled to the time saving state B after the second) has elapsed. For example, after the gaming state is controlled to time-saving state B, (A) the timing at which the customer waiting demo display designation command is received, or (B) the first variable display after being controlled to time-saving state B is started. At this timing, the production mode may be set to "Play 1100 Battle Rush" and the third background image 069SG330 may be displayed. Also, the timing when 0.5 seconds has elapsed (in this example, the symbol confirmation period specified by the symbol confirmation A specification command) out of the symbol confirmation period (20 seconds) specified by the symbol confirmation B specification command. (In this example, at timing T4), the production mode changes to "Play 1100 Battle Rush" and the third background image 069SG330 is displayed without executing the time-saving rush production B (Figure 11-25 (D)). You may also do so.

Furthermore, when displaying the shutter image 069SG250 in FIG. 11-23(B) or FIG. 11-25(B), an image (for example, the word "play") that suggests that the time-saving state B is selected is displayed. May be displayed. By doing this, when the shutter image 069SG250 is displayed in common at the timing when the time-saving state B is controlled and the timing other than the timing when the time-saving state B is controlled (for example, the timing when the production mode is switched), , it becomes easier to distinguish.

In addition, in this embodiment, as explained in FIGS. 11-22 to 11-25, (i) when the rescue time shortens after the RAM is cleared, and (ii) after the jackpot, the rescue is performed with 900 variable displays. Although we have exemplified a mode in which the production mode is different depending on when the time is shortened, the present invention is not limited to this, and the production mode is common between the above (i) and the above (ii). may be executed. In other words, the time-saving rush performance B may be executed in the above (i) and the above (ii), or the time-saving rush performance B may be executed in the above (i) and the above (ii). You may choose not to execute it. Further, the time-saving rush effect B may be executed in different ways between the above (i) and the above (ii).

In addition, in the examples of FIGS. 11-24(A) and 11-25, a form is illustrated in which the time-saving rush effect B is executed during the symbol confirmation period (20 seconds) specified by the symbol confirmation B designation command, but the present invention is not limited to this, for example, the time-saving rush performance B may be started after being controlled to the time-saving state B. Hereinafter, modified examples of the execution timing of each performance when the rescue time shortening is reached will be explained based on FIG. 11-24(B), FIG. 11-26, and FIG. 11-27.

FIG. 11-24(B) is a time chart as a modified example showing the execution timing of each effect when the rescue time shortening is reached. FIG. 11-26 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the performance operation when the number of pending memories is 0 when the rescue time shortening is reached.

First, the presentation configuration in FIG. 11-26(A) is the same as the presentation configuration shown in FIG. 11-25(A), so a description thereof will be omitted. Next, as shown in FIG. 11-26(B), at the timing when the CPU 103 starts variable display of the first special symbol (variable display when the value of the relief time reduction counter becomes 0) (FIG. 11-24(B)). At timing T2 shown in B), the performance control CPU 120 starts variable display of decorative symbols in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of the image display device 5.

Next, as shown in FIG. 11-26 (C), at the timing when the CPU 103 ends the variable display of the first special symbol (at the timing T3 shown in FIG. 11-24 (B)), the CPU 103 issues a symbol confirmation B designation command. The received performance control CPU 120 determines and stops the combination of decorative symbols (in this example, "234") that results in a "miss" display result in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of the image display device 5. , in the display area 5SL of the image display device 5, the combination of small symbols whose display result is "miss" is fixed and stopped. Next, as shown in FIG. 11-26(D), based on the reception of the right-handed hitting LED lighting notification command, the right-handed hitting LED 069SG031 is turned on, the special number of times display 069SG203 is hidden, and the lower right corner of the screen of the image display device 5 is displayed. , a right-handed player notification image 069SG400 and the words "Right-handed player" are displayed, and a right-handed player notification image 069SG401, which is larger than the right-handed player notification image 069SG400, and the words "Right-handed player" are displayed in the center of the screen of the image display device 5. , fade-in display to the front side of the decorative pattern and start the right hit notification.

Next, at the timing when the symbol confirmation period (0.5 seconds) specified by the symbol confirmation A designation command has elapsed (at the timing T4 shown in FIG. 11-24(B)), the control of the time saving state B is started, Although variable display can be started, if the number of reserved memories is 0, the display of right-handed hitting notification images 069SG400 and 069SG401 shown in FIG. 11-26(D) is maintained.

After that, as shown in FIG. 11-26(E), the right-handed game is started in the time saving state B, and the first variable display starts based on the occurrence of the second starting prize (or the first starting winning). At the timing determined (at timing T5 shown in FIG. 11-24(B)), the effect control CPU 120 starts the shutter effect and displays the shutter image 069SG250 on the entire screen of the image display device 5. Note that the right-handed hit notification images 069SG400 and 069SG401 remain displayed in front of the shutter image 069SG250.

Next, as shown in FIG. 11-26 (F), after the first variable display ends, the production control CPU 120 starts the process at the timing when the second variable display starts (see FIG. 11-24 (B)). After finishing the shutter effect (at the timing T6 shown in FIG. 1) and hiding the shutter image 069SG250 and the right-hand hit notification image 069SG401, the entry image 069SG473 is displayed and the time-saving entry effect B is started.

In addition, even if the time-saving entry performance B is started at a timing other than the start timing of the second variable display in the time-saving state B (for example, during the first variable display or at the start of the second and subsequent variable displays). good. Further, when the variable display period is short (for example, 1500 ms), such as when a super-shortened variation pattern is determined as the variable display variation pattern, the variable display may be continuously executed over a plurality of variable displays. In this case, it is preferable that the video of the time-saving rush performance B be displayed continuously without depending on the variable display of the decorative symbols. In addition, if a variable jackpot display starts during the execution period of time-saving effect B, the running time-saving effect B will be interrupted or ended, and the effect according to the variable pattern (for example, SP reach effect) will be changed. Alternatively, the jackpot notification performance may be executed without performing the performance according to the fluctuation pattern.

Next, FIG. 11-27 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the performance operation when the number of pending memories is 1 or more when the rescue time shortening is reached.

First, the presentation configurations in FIGS. 11-27(A) to 11-27(C) are the same as the presentation configurations shown in FIGS. 11-26(A) to 11-26(C), so a description thereof will be omitted.

Next, as shown in FIG. 11-27(C), at the timing when the CPU 103 ends the variable display of the first special symbol (at timing T3 shown in FIG. 11-24(B)), the CPU 103 issues a symbol confirmation B designation command. The received performance control CPU 120 determines and stops the combination of decorative symbols (in this example, "234") that results in a "miss" display result in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of the image display device 5. , in the display area 5SL of the image display device 5, the combination of small symbols whose display result is "miss" is fixed and stopped. Next, as shown in FIG. 11-27 (D), based on the reception of the right-handed hitting LED lighting notification command, the right-handed hitting LED 069SG031 is turned on, the special number of times display 069SG203 is hidden, and the lower right corner of the screen of the image display device 5 is displayed. , a right-handed player notification image 069SG400 and the words "Right-handed player" are displayed, and a right-handed player notification image 069SG401, which is larger than the right-handed player notification image 069SG400, and the words "Right-handed player" are displayed in the center of the screen of the image display device 5. , fade-in display to the front side of the decorative pattern and start the right hit notification.

Here, if the number of pending memories is 1 or more, at the timing when the symbol confirmation period (0.5 seconds) specified by the symbol confirmation A designation command has elapsed (at the timing of T4 shown in Figure 11-24 (B)) , the time saving state B control is started, and the first variable display is started, so as shown in FIG. 11-27(D), the effect control CPU 120 starts the shutter effect, and the image display device The shutter image 069SG250 is displayed on the entire screen of No.5. In addition, the right-handed hitting notification images 069SG400 and 069SG401 remain displayed in front of the shutter image 069SG250.

After that, as shown in FIG. 11-27(E), the effect control CPU 120 ends the shutter effect at the timing when the second variable display starts after the first variable display ends, and the shutter image 069SG250 After hiding the right hit notification image 069SG401, the entry image 069SG473 is displayed and the time-saving entry effect B is started.

In this way, when the variable display of the relief time shortening variation is finished, the production control CPU 120 lights up the right-handed LED 069SG031 based on the reception of the right-handed LED lighting notification command, and displays the display screen of the image display device 5. Since the right-handed hitting notification image 069SG400, 069SG401 and the words "right-handed hitting" are displayed to start the right-handed hitting notification, the variable display does not start after the time saving state B control is started, so the time saving state B control is Even when the shutter performance indicating the start or the time-saving entry performance B is not started, it is possible to suppress the player from starting a disadvantageous left-handed game without knowing that the time-saving state B is controlled.

In addition, in the above embodiment, when the relief time shortening is reached after the RAM is cleared, 0.5 seconds is set as the symbol confirmation period, and after the jackpot, when the relief time shortening is reached after 900 variable displays, the symbol confirmation period is set. Although 20 seconds is set as an example, the present invention is not limited to this, and as described above, when the rescue time shortens after clearing the RAM and after a jackpot, 900 variable displays are performed. A common symbol confirmation period (for example, 0.5 seconds) may be set when the relief time shortening is reached. In addition, even in this case, the time-saving state B is controlled by executing the right-handed hit notification and the time-saving entry effect B after the variable display starts after the control of the time-saving state B is started. To prevent a player from starting a disadvantageous left-handed game without realizing it.

In the above embodiment, when the rescue time shortening is reached after clearing the RAM, the shutter effect is ended at the timing when the symbol confirmation period (0.5 seconds) specified by the symbol confirmation A designation command has elapsed, and the shutter image is An example is shown in which the background image of Yu-1100 Battle Rush is displayed at the same time as the display of 069SG250 ends. Here, if the production control CPU 120 cannot normally receive the symbol confirmation A designation command, for example, if the symbol confirmation A designation command sent from the CPU 103 is missed, or if the symbol confirmation A designation command is garbled. , If the received command cannot be recognized as the symbol confirmation A designation command, then (A) the timing at which the customer waiting demo display designation command was received, or (B) 1 after being controlled to the time saving state B. At the timing when a command corresponding to the start of the first variable display (for example, variable display start command (first variable display start command, second variable display start command), variation pattern specification command, etc.) is received, the shutter When the effect is finished, the display of the shutter image 069SG250 may be finished, and at the same time, the background image of the game 1100 Battle Rush may be displayed. In addition, at the timing when another command corresponding to the first variable display after being controlled to the time saving state B (for example, a gaming state designation command, a symbol confirmation designation command, etc.) is received, the shutter effect ends and the shutter The background image of Yu-1100 Battle Rush may be displayed at the same time as the display of image 069SG250 ends.

In addition, in the above embodiment, after hitting the jackpot, when the relief time shortening is reached after 900 variable displays, 0.5 seconds of the symbol confirmation period (20 seconds) specified by the symbol confirmation B designation command has elapsed. An example is shown in which, at this timing, the shutter effect is ended, the display of the shutter image 069SG250 is ended, and the time-saving rush effect is executed. Here, if the production control CPU 120 cannot normally receive the symbol confirmation B designation command, for example, if the symbol confirmation B designation command sent from the CPU 103 is missed, or if the symbol confirmation B designation command is garbled, , if the received command cannot be recognized as the design confirmation B designation command, then (A) the timing of receiving the customer waiting demo display designation command, or (B) 1 after being controlled to time saving state B. At the timing when a command corresponding to the start of the first variable display (for example, variable display start command (first variable display start command, second variable display start command), variation pattern specification command, etc.) is received, the shutter The time-saving rush effect B may be executed at the same time as ending the effect and ending the display of the shutter image 069SG250. In addition, at the timing when another command corresponding to the first variable display after being controlled to the time saving state B (for example, a gaming state designation command, a symbol confirmation designation command, etc.) is received, the shutter effect ends and the shutter The time-saving rush performance B may be executed at the same time as the display of the image 069SG250 ends.

In addition, in Figures 11-22 to 11-25, the variation pattern is "non-reach (reduced We have explained each effect that is executed when it is determined that "Non-Reach B or Non-Reach B) Missing", but although not particularly shown, the variation pattern is determined to be "SP Reach A Missing or SP Reach B Missing". When an SP reach effect corresponding to the SP reach type is executed (for example, a bowling effect for SP reach A, a battle effect for SP reach B), an ally character is defeated by an enemy character in the bowling effect or battle effect. After an image is displayed and it is reported that the variable display result is a failure, the shutter performance may be started, and the time-saving entry performance B may be started in the symbol determination period after the end of the shutter performance.

Further, if the variable display (relief time reduction attainment variation) in which the value of the rescue time reduction number counter becomes 0 is a jackpot, the following (1) to (3) may be performed.

(1) If the variable display for jackpot "SP reach B (battle SP)" is determined in the variable display where the value of the rescue time reduction counter becomes 0, a shutter effect is performed at the start of the variable display (for example, 11-23 (B)), for example, the shutter effect ends at the timing when it develops into SP reach effect B (see the timing in Figure 13-11 (A2)), and then SP reach effect B is executed and the jackpot is reached. may be notified.

(2) If the jackpot variable pattern "SP Reach B (Battle SP)" is determined in the variable display where the value of the rescue time shortening counter becomes 0, the special number display remains "1" and no shutter effect is performed. It is also possible to perform a winning effect such as SP reach effect B being executed.

(3) When the value of the relief time saving number counter is 0, a dedicated jackpot variation pattern (for example, shutter closed → shutter opened with decorative symbols aligned → jackpot) may be provided.

In addition, the execution of the look-ahead effect described later when the value of the rescue time reduction number counter reaches 0 and reaches a specific value, and the execution of the look-ahead effect in a variable display where the value of the rescue time reduction number counter reaches 0 are restricted. It is preferable.

(Example of customer waiting screen)
In this embodiment, when the performance control CPU 120 receives a customer waiting demo display designation command that specifies that the customer is waiting for a customer, a customer waiting demonstration performance in which the demo image 069SG700 is displayed on the image display device 5 is executed. . FIG. 11-28(A) is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a screen in a customer waiting state.

As shown in FIG. 11-28(A), this demo image 069SG700 includes a character image 069SG100A indicating an ally character, the words "Demonstration video", and a notice image 069SG700a (in this example, a triangular object with "Play" (image with the words "Equipped with time") is included. In addition, when the value of the rescue time reduction counter is between 1 and 300, the demo image 069SG700 includes the special number display 069SG203 (main In the example, a special number of times display in white form is further included.

According to such a configuration, it is possible to notify the player while waiting for a customer that the number of variable display times remaining until the rescue time reduction is reached is small (in this example, the value of the rescue time reduction counter is 300 or less). It is possible to promote operation.

(Modified example of customer waiting screen)
In the example of FIG. 11-28(A), when the value of the relief time saving number counter is between 1 and 300, the demo image 069SG700 includes the special number display 069SG203, but the present invention is not limited to this form. , Regardless of the value of the rescue time reduction counter, the special number display 069SG203 is not included in the demo image 069SG700 in both cases where the value of the rescue time reduction counter is 301 or more and 300 or less. Good too.

For example, as shown in FIG. 11-28(B), when a customer waiting demonstration effect is executed, a demonstration image 069SG700 is displayed on the image display device 5. At this time, the demo image 069SG700 includes a character image 069SG100A indicating an ally character, the text "Demonstration video", and a notification image 069SG700a (in this example, an image of a triangular object with the text "Equipped with play time"). ), but the special number display is not included regardless of the value of the relief time reduction number counter.

Next, as shown in FIG. 11-28(C), at the timing when a new starting prize occurs and the variable display of the first special symbol starts, the customer waiting demonstration effect ends, and the right side of the screen of the image display device 5 Special number display 069SG203 is displayed at the bottom.

According to such a configuration, by not informing the player of the remaining number of variable display times until reaching the rescue time shortening while waiting for a customer, only gaming machines with a small number of remaining variable display times until reaching the rescue time shortening are selected. Therefore, it is possible to prevent excessive imbalance in the operation of the gaming machine.

Incidentally, regardless of whether or not the RAM clearing process is executed when the power is turned on, the variable display number display and the special number display may be hidden until the variable display is performed 50 times after the power is turned on.

For example, if the RAM clear process is not executed when the power is turned on, the variable display of 50 times will be displayed regardless of whether the value of the rescue time reduction counter at the time of the power is turned on is 301 or more, or when it is less than 300. By not displaying the variable number of times display and the special number of times display until this is executed, it is possible to suppress a player who only aims to shorten the rescue time from playing a game. In addition, when the RAM clear process is executed when the power is turned on, the variable display of 50 times is displayed both when the value of the power failure relief time reduction counter is 301 or more and when it is 300 or less. By hiding the variable display number display and the special number display until the game is executed, it is possible to suppress the player from avoiding playing the game.

According to such a configuration, if the RAM clearing process is not executed when the power is turned on when the store opens, a player who wants to save time can refer to the final variable display count when the power was cut off the previous day. By doing so, it is possible to suppress selecting a gaming machine with a small number of remaining variable display times until the rescue time shortening is reached and playing the game. In addition, if the RAM clearing process is executed when the power is turned on when opening a store, a player who aims to shorten the rescue time can shorten the rescue time by referring to the final variable display count at the time of the previous day's power outage. It is also possible to prevent the player from avoiding playing a game on a gaming machine that has a large number of variable display times remaining until reaching .

In addition, not limited to the above-mentioned form, when the value of the rescue time reduction counter reaches a specific value, even if the 50 variable displays have not been executed since the power was turned on, the variable display number display A special number of times display may be displayed.

For example, if the RAM clear processing is not performed when the power is turned on, and the value of the rescue time reduction counter at the time of the power is turned on is a specific value (for example, 20 or less) that is smaller than a predetermined value (for example, 50), the corresponding The special number of times display may be displayed while waiting for a customer after the power is turned on or when variable display of special symbols is being executed. In addition, if RAM clear processing is not performed at power-on, although the value of the rescue time-saving counter at power-on is not a specific value, the number of rescue time-saving counters is determined by the variable display executed after the power-on. When the value of the counter reaches a specific value (for example, 20 or less), a special number display may be displayed even when the value of the relief time reduction number counter does not reach a predetermined value.

(Characteristic part 069SG modification example 1)
Next, the first modification of the characteristic portion 069SG will be described. FIG. 11-29 is a diagram illustrating an example of the production operation regarding transition to the customer waiting screen as the first modification of the characteristic section 069SG. FIG. 11-30 is a diagram illustrating a modification example of the effect operation example regarding transition to the customer waiting screen as the first modification example of the characteristic part 069SG.

First, to explain an example of the production operation related to the transition to the customer waiting screen in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11-29 (A1), for example, the variable display of symbols in the normal state (low accuracy/low base state) When a predetermined period of time (for example, about 30,000 ms, etc.) has elapsed without starting a new variable display after the stop, the production control CPU 120 starts displaying the image based on the reception of the customer waiting demo display designation command. The demonstration image 069SG700 is displayed on the device 5 and a customer waiting demonstration effect is executed (see FIG. 11-29 (A2)). Thereafter, when a starting prize is generated, the demo image 069SG700 is hidden and variable display is started (see FIG. 11-29 (A3)).

Next, to explain an example of the performance operation related to the transition to the customer waiting screen after reaching the relief time shortening, as shown in Figure 11-29 (B1), the variable display of symbols in the relief time shortening reaching fluctuation when the relief time shortening has been reached stops. When the number of pending memories is 0, the production control CPU 120 lights up the right-handed LED 069SG031 based on the reception of the right-handed LED lighting notification command in response to the end of the variable display, and turns on the right-handed LED 069SG031, At the bottom right of the screen, a right-handed player notification image 069SG400 and the words "Right-handed player" are displayed, and at the center of the screen of the image display device 5, a right-handed player notification image 069SG401, which is larger than the right-handed player information image 069SG400, and "Right-handed player" are displayed. The characters are faded in and displayed in front of the decorative pattern, and the right-hand hit notification is started. Further, at the timing when the symbol confirmation period (0.5 seconds) specified by the symbol confirmation A designation command has elapsed, the time saving state B control is started (see FIG. 11-29 (B2)).

Then, when a predetermined period of time (for example, about 30,000 ms, etc.) has elapsed without starting a new variable display after the variable display of symbols in the relief time shortening variation has stopped, the performance control CPU 120 controls the customer waiting demonstration. Even if a display designation command is received, the demo image 069SG700 is not displayed on the image display device 5 and the customer waiting demonstration effect is not executed, but the state in which the right-hand hitting notification images 069SG400 and 069SG401 are maintained is maintained (Figure 11-29 (See (B3)).

After that, when a starting winning occurs, the performance control CPU 120 starts the first variable display based on the fact that the right-handed game is started in the time saving state B and the second starting winning (or the first starting winning) occurs. At this timing, the shutter effect is started and the shutter image 069SG250 is displayed on the entire screen of the image display device 5. Note that the right-handed hitting notification images 069SG400 and 069SG401 remain displayed in front of the shutter image 069SG250 (see FIG. 11-29 (B4)).

Then, the performance control CPU 120 ends the shutter performance at the timing when the first variable display ends, hides the shutter image 069SG250 and the right-hand hit notification image 069SG401, and then starts the second variable display. At the timing (timing T6 shown in FIG. 11-24(B)), the entry image 069SG473 is displayed and the time-saving entry effect B is started (see FIG. 11-29(B5)).

Next, to explain an example of the production operation related to the transition to the customer waiting screen after the start of the right hit notification, as shown in Figure 11-29 (C1), the variable display of the symbol in the relief time shortening reaching variation when the relief time shortening has been reached is shown in Figure 11-29 (C1). When the number of pending memories is 1 or more (for example, 1) when stopped, the production control CPU 120 lights up the right-handed LED 069SG031 based on the reception of the right-handed LED lighting notification command in response to the end of the variable display. Then, at the bottom right of the screen of the image display device 5, a right-handed hitting notification image 069SG400 and the words "right-handed hitting" are displayed, and at the center of the screen of the image display device 5, a right-handed hitting notification image larger than the right-handed hitting notification image 069SG400 is displayed. The image 069SG401 and the words "Right-handed player" are faded in and displayed in front of the shutter image 069SG250, and the right-handed player notification is started. Also, at the timing when the symbol confirmation period (0.5 seconds) specified by the symbol confirmation A designation command has elapsed, the time saving state B control is started, and the first hold memory is consumed and the first variable display is performed. is started, the effect control CPU 120 starts the shutter effect and displays the shutter image 069SG250 on the entire screen of the image display device 5. Note that the right-handed hitting notification images 069SG400 and 069SG401 are kept displayed in front of the shutter image 069SG250 (see FIG. 11-29 (C2)).

After that, when the first variable display ends and the first reserved memory becomes 0, the state in which the right-hand hit notification images 069SG400 and 069SG401 are displayed in front of the shutter image 069SG250 is maintained (Figure 11-29 (C3 )reference).

Then, a predetermined period of time (e.g., about 30,000 ms) has elapsed without a new variable display starting from the time when the variable display of the symbol stopped in the first variable display after the control of time saving state B was started. At this time, even if the production control CPU 120 receives the customer waiting demonstration display designation command, it does not display the demo image 069SG700 on the image display device 5 and execute the customer waiting demonstration production, but displays the right-handed notification images 069SG400 and 069SG401. The shutter image 069SG250 remains displayed on the front side (see FIG. 11-29 (C4)).

Thereafter, when a starting prize occurs, the production control CPU 120 starts the second variable display based on the fact that the right-handed game is started in the time saving state B and the second starting winning (or the first starting winning is also possible) occurs. At the timing, the shutter effect is finished, the shutter image 069SG250 and the right-hand hit notification image 069SG401 are hidden, and then the rush image 069SG473 is displayed and the time-saving rush effect B is started (Figure 11-29 (C5) reference).

In this way, in the characteristic part 069SG modification example 1, the performance control CPU 120 executes the customer waiting demonstration performance during the period from the end of the variable display of the rescue time-saving attainment fluctuation until the end of the time-saving rush performance B. By restricting and executing the right-handed hitting notification with priority, the display of the right-handed hitting notification image 069SG401, which is displayed larger than the right-handed hitting notification image 069SG400 and the right-handed hitting notification image 069SG400, does not disappear. As shown in 29(A2), by displaying the demo image 069SG700, it is possible to prevent the player from starting a disadvantageous left-handed game without knowing that the time-saving state B is being controlled.

In addition, in this modification, the execution of the customer waiting demonstration performance is restricted during the period from the end of the variable display of relief time-saving attainment variation until the end of time-saving rush performance B, and the execution of the right-hand notification is given priority. Although the present invention is not limited to this example, the CPU 103 may issue the customer waiting demonstration display designation command during the period from the end of the variable display of the relief time-saving attainment variation to the end of the time-saving rush performance B. Execution of the customer waiting demonstration effect may be restricted by not transmitting the information.

Next, a description will be given of yet another modified example of the effect operation example regarding the transition to the customer waiting screen when the rescue time shortening is reached.

As shown in FIG. 11-30 (D1), when the variable display of the symbols in the relief time shortening variation that reaches the relief time shortening stops, if the number of pending memories is 0, the performance control CPU 120 terminates the variable display. Based on the reception of the right-handed batting LED lighting notification command in response to the right-handed batting, the right-handed batting LED 069SG031 is turned on, and the right-handed batting notification image 069SG400 and the words "Right-handed batting" are displayed at the lower right of the screen of the image display device 5. In the center of the screen of the image display device 5, a right-handed batting notification image 069SG401 larger than the right-handed batting notification image 069SG400 and the words "Right-handed batting" are displayed in a faded manner in front of the decorative pattern, and the right-handed batting notification is started. do. Further, control of the time saving state B is started at the timing when the symbol confirmation period (0.5 seconds) specified by the symbol confirmation A designation command has elapsed (see FIG. 11-30 (D2)).

Then, after the variable display of the symbol in the relief time-saving arrival variation stops and is controlled to the time-saving state B, when a predetermined time (for example, about 30,000 ms, etc.) has elapsed without starting a new variable display, the performance control Based on the reception of the customer waiting demo display designation command, the CPU 120 displays the demo image 069SG700 on the image display device 5 to execute the customer waiting demonstration performance, and also displays a right-click display at the bottom right of the screen of the image display device 5. A notification image 069SG400 and the words "Right-handed" are displayed (see FIG. 11-30 (D3)).

After that, when a starting winning occurs, the performance control CPU 120 starts the first variable display based on the fact that the right-handed game is started in the time saving state B and the second starting winning (or the first starting winning) occurs. At this timing, the shutter effect is started and the shutter image 069SG250 is displayed on the entire screen of the image display device 5. Note that the right-handed hitting notification images 069SG400 and 069SG401 remain displayed in front of the shutter image 069SG250 (see FIG. 11-30 (D4)).

As shown in FIG. 11-30 (D3), when the player touches the touch ring of the ball-hitting operation handle 30 while displaying the demo image 069SG700 on the image display device 5 and executing the customer waiting demonstration effect, At the same timing, the demonstration image 069SG700 is hidden and the customer waiting demonstration effect is ended, and the right-hand hitting notification image 069SG400 and the words "Right-handling" shown in Figure 11-30 (D2) are displayed, and then the first variable display is displayed. The shutter effect may be started at the timing when the shutter effect is started.

Then, the performance control CPU 120 ends the shutter performance at the timing when the first variable display ends, hides the shutter image 069SG250 and the right-hand hit notification image 069SG401, and then starts the second variable display. At the appropriate timing, the entry image 069SG473 is displayed and the time-saving entry effect B is started (see FIG. 11-30 (D5)).

In this way, it may be possible to display the demo image 069SG700 and execute the customer waiting demonstration effect during the period from the end of the variable display of the rescue time-saving arrival fluctuation until the end of the time-saving rush effect B. At the same time, right-handed hitting notification may be executed by displaying the right-handed hitting notification image 069SG400 and the words "right-handed hitting". In this way, the control for displaying the demo image 069SG700 on the image display device 5 and executing the customer waiting demonstration effect is the same as in the normal state, thereby reducing the processing load, while the right-handed notification image 069SG400 and the By displaying the words "Right-handed game" at the lower right of the screen of the image display device 5, it is possible to prevent the player from starting a disadvantageous left-handed game.

In addition, for example, the right-handed hitting notification image 069SG400 is displayed in a state with higher visibility than the demo image 069SG700, such as displaying the right-handed hitting notification image 069SG401, which is larger than the right-handed hitting notification image 069SG400, overlappingly in front of the demo image 069SG700. You may also do so.

(Characteristic part 069SG modification example 2)
Next, a second modification of the characteristic portion 069SG will be described. FIG. 11-31 is a flowchart showing game control timer interrupt processing as the second modification of the characteristic section 069SG. FIG. 11-32 is a flowchart showing special symbol stop processing as the second modification of the characteristic part 069SG. FIG. 11-33 is a flowchart showing special symbol stop processing as the second modification of the characteristic part 069SG. FIG. 11-34 is a flowchart showing display processing as the second modification of the characteristic section 069SG.

In the above embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 11-13 and 11-14, the right-handed lamp 069SG132 is turned on and off during the special symbol stop process, and the right-handed LED lighting notification command and right are sent to the production control board 12. Although the form in which the notification command for hitting LED off is sent as an example, the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention is not limited to this, but the present invention is not limited to this. The process of transmitting the lighting notification command and the right-hit LED extinguishing notification command may be executed outside the special symbol stop process. In addition, we have exemplified a form in which the value of the relief time reduction counter is subtracted in the special symbol normal processing, and when the relief time reduction is reached, the relief time reduction determination flag is turned on, but the value of the relief time reduction number counter is subtracted. Execute this in the special symbol stop process to turn on/off the right-handed lamp 069SG132 without using the relief time shortening flag, and send the right-handed LED lighting notification command and right-handed LED turn-off notification command to the production control board 12. You may also do so.

For example, as shown in FIG. 11-31 as the characteristic part 069SG modification example 2, in the game control timer interrupt process, the CPU 103 turns on and off the right-handed lamp 069SG132 after executing the game random number update process (step S24). In addition to executing the display process (step 069SGS24A) including the setting process and the sending process of the right-handed LED lighting notification command and the right-handed LED turning off notification command to the production control board 12, the normal symbol process process (step S26) is executed. Display control processing (step 069SGS26A) for turning on and off the right-handed lamp 069SG132 may be executed in accordance with the setting processing performed later in the display processing.

In the characteristic part 069SG modification example 2, in order to execute the display processing (step 069SGS24A) and display control processing (step 069SGS26A) described above, the CPU 103 executes the special symbol stop processing shown in FIGS. 11-32 and 11-33. do.

In the special symbol stop processing shown in FIGS. 11-32 and 11-33, first, if the jackpot flag is set, the CPU 103 performs the same procedure as in the special symbol stop processing shown in FIGS. 11-13 and 11-14. , executes the processing from step 069SGS131 to step 069SGS135. Then, after executing the processes of step 069SGS138 and step 069SGS139 without starting the lighting of the right-hander lamp 069SG132 or sending the right-hander LED lighting notification command, the CPU 103 changes the state of the time-saving flag A and the time-saving flag B, which will be described later. The memory is cleared (step 069SGS139a), and the process of step 069SGS140 is executed to end the special symbol stop process.

On the other hand, if the jackpot flag is not set, the CPU 103 specifies the state of the time-saving flag A and the time-saving flag B at that time after executing the processing of steps 069SGS131 to 069SGS133, and sets the time-saving flag A and the time-saving flag. The state of flag B is updated and stored (step 069SGS160). Also, it is determined whether the probability change flag is set (step 069SGS161). If the probability variation flag is set (step 069SGS161; Yes), the process advances to step 069SGS174E, and if the probability variation flag is not set (step 069SGS161; No), it is further determined whether the value of the relief time reduction counter is already 0 or not. (Step 069SGS162).

If the value of the rescue time reduction counter is already 0, that is, if the time reduction state B is already established (step 069SGS162; Yes), the process proceeds to step 069SGS174E, and if the value of the rescue time reduction counter is not 0 (step 069SGS162; No). ) increments the value of the relief time reduction number counter by 1 (step 069SGS163), and determines whether or not the value of the relief time reduction number counter becomes 0 after decrementing the value by 1 (step 069SGS164).

If the value of the relief time reduction counter is not 0 (step 069SGS164; No), the CPU 103 executes the processing of steps 069SGS141 to 069SGS145, and then executes the right-hand drive lamp 069SG132 lighting end and right-hand drive LED off notification command. After executing the process of step 069SGS152 without executing transmission, the process proceeds to step 069SGS174E.

In addition, when the value of the relief time reduction counter becomes 0 (step 069SGS164; Yes), the CPU 103 executes the processing of steps 069SGS172 to 069SGS174, and then starts lighting the right-handed lamp 069SG132 and issues a right-handed LED start notification command. Outputs information indicating that the number of variable displays has reached 900 times without executing the transmission of the variable display result becoming a jackpot, from an external output terminal (not shown) to a hall management computer, etc. A specific number (for example, 4) is set in a specific number of times reaching information output count counter indicating the number of times the specified number of reaching information is output, and a specific number of reaching information output period timer indicating a period of outputting the specific number of reaching information per time is set. Proceed to 069SGS174E (step 069SGS174C, step SGS174D).

In addition, in the information output process at the time of the next interrupt (step S23), the CPU 103 sets the output of the specific number of times attainment information over the period set in the specific number of times attained information output period timer to the specific number of times attained information output count counter. You just need to execute it the number of times specified.

Then, in step 069SGS174E, the CPU 103 executes lighting/extinguishing of the right-handed lamp 069SG132 and sending of a right-handed batting LED lighting notification command and a right-handed batting LED turning-off notification command in the display process (step 069SGS24A) at the time of the next interrupt. After setting the transition flag, the process of step 069SGS175 is executed to end the special symbol stop process.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 11-34, in the display process, the CPU 103 first checks whether the transition flag is set, that is, whether special symbol stop processing in which the variable display result is off was executed during the previous interrupt. It is determined whether or not (step 069SGS181). If the transition flag is not set (step 069SGS181; No), the display process ends; if the transition flag is set (step 069SGS181; Yes), the transition flag is cleared (step 069SGS182), and the storage The current state of the time-saving flag A and time-saving flag B is compared with the current state of the time-saving flag A and time-saving flag B (step 069SGS183), and the time-saving flag A or time-saving flag B changes to the on state (set state). It is determined whether or not (step 069SGS184).

When the time-saving flag A or the time-saving flag B has changed to the ON state, that is, when the time-saving state A or the time-saving state B is newly controlled (step 069SGS184; Yes), the right-handed lamp 069SG132 and the time-saving lamp 069SG134 are turned on. While performing the lighting setting, a right hit LED lighting notification command is transmitted to the production control board 12, and the display process is ended (step 069SGS185, step 069SGS186).

In addition, if the time saving flag A or the time saving flag B has not changed to the on state (step 069SGS184; No), whether the time saving flag A or the time saving flag B has changed to the off state (cleared state) or not. (Step 069SGS187). If the time saving flag A or the time saving flag B has not changed to the OFF state (step 069SGS187; N), the display process is ended, and if the time saving flag A or the time saving flag B has changed to the OFF state, that is, the new When the time-saving state A or the time-saving state B is controlled to the normal state (step 069SGS187; Yes), the right-handed lamp 069SG132 and the time-saving lamp 069SG134 are set to turn off, and a right-handed LED turn-off notification command is sent to the production control board 12. is transmitted, and the display process ends (step 069SGS188, step 069SGS189).

In addition, in the display control process (step 069SGS16A), the CPU 103 may turn on and off the right-hand lamp 069SG132 and the time-saving lamp 069SG134 according to the lighting setting of step 069SGS185 or the turning-off setting of the process of step 069SGS188.

Furthermore, the production control CPU 120 starts displaying the right-handed hitting notification images 069SG400, 069SG401 and the words "right-handed hitting" on the screen of the image display device 5 in response to receiving the right-handed hitting LED lighting notification command from the CPU 103, In response to receiving the right-handed hitting LED off notification command from the CPU 103, the display of the right-handed hitting notification images 069SG400, 069SG401 and the characters "right-handed hitting" in the center of the screen of the image display device 5 may be terminated.

(Characteristic part 069SG modification example 3)
In the embodiment described above, when the value of the rescue time reduction counter is between 1 and 300, by displaying a special number display at the bottom right of the screen of the image display device 5, the remaining variable display number until reaching the rescue time reduction is reduced. Although it was a production structure that suggests that the number of times remaining until the rescue time is shortened is not limited to this type of presentation, it is a production that is different from the special number display and indicates that the remaining variable number of display until the rescue time shortening is reached is decreasing. A suggested relief time-saving suggestion performance may be performed.

First, the effect structure in FIGS. 11-35 (A) and (B) is similar to the effect structure regarding the variable display number display and the special number display (white mode) shown in FIGS. 11-21 (A) and (B). Therefore, the explanation will be omitted. In addition, the production configuration other than the relief time shortening suggestion production in Figures 11-35 (C) and (D) is the same as the production configuration regarding the special number of times display (red mode) shown in Figure 11-21 (C). The explanation will be omitted.

As shown in FIG. 11-35(C), when the first step in the relief time reduction suggestion performance is executed when the value of the relief time reduction number counter is 11 to 30, the first suggestion image (in this example, A first suggestion image 069SG800A) related to the shutter image 069SG250 at the time of shortening the rescue time, which covers the upper 1/4 area of the background image, is displayed superimposed on the first background image 069SG310. The first suggestion image is an image that has a higher display priority than the background image (it appears to be in a higher display layer and displayed in the foreground). Therefore, to the player, the visibility of the background image in the portion where the first suggestion image is displayed in a superimposed manner appears to be reduced. That is, the background image at this time is displayed as the first background image 069SG310 including the first suggestion image 069SG800A.

Next, as shown in FIG. 11-35 (D), when the second stage of the relief time reduction suggestion performance is executed when the value of the relief time reduction number counter is 1 to 10, the second suggestion image (in this example Here, the second suggestion image 069SG800B) related to the shutter image 069SG250 at the time of short rescue time and covering the upper 1/2 area of the background image is displayed superimposed on the first background image 069SG310. The second suggestion image is an image that has a higher display priority than the background image (it appears to be in a higher display layer and displayed in the foreground). Therefore, from the player's perspective, the visibility of the background image in the portion where the second suggestion image is displayed in a superimposed manner appears to be reduced. That is, the background image at this time is displayed as the first background image 069SG310 including the second suggestion image 069SG800B.

In this embodiment, the background image including the suggestion image (first suggestion image, second suggestion image) by the relief time saving suggestion effect is displayed as a background image on the image display device 5 even when the variable display of the special symbol is not executed. Is displayed. In this way, the display mode of the interface image displayed on the screen of the image display device 5 is changed depending on the value of the rescue time reduction counter regardless of whether or not the variable display of the special symbol is executed, thereby reducing the rescue time. It is possible to suggest that the number of variable display times remaining until reaching the destination is decreasing, and it is also possible to improve interest.

In addition, in this example, an example was shown in which suggestion images (first suggestion image, second suggestion image) related to the shutter image when the rescue time is shortened are displayed superimposed on the background image as images for changing the interface image. The present invention is not limited to this form, and an image that is not related to the shutter image when the rescue time is shortened may be displayed superimposed on the background image. For example, effect images with different display areas and display colors may be displayed in a superimposed manner depending on the value of the rescue time reduction counter, and when the value of the rescue time reduction counter is 21 or more, the display area of the effect image is area (for example, 25% of the screen) and the display color is blue, but when the value of the rescue time reduction counter is 20 or less, the display area of the effect image is displayed in a second area (for example, 25% of the screen) that is wider than the first area. 50%), and the display color may be red.

(Explanation of various performances)
Next, various effects that can be executed by the effect control CPU 120 will be explained based on FIGS. 11-36 to 11-50. FIG. 11-36 is a diagram for explaining the contents of various effects.

In FIG. 11-43, (A) to (F) are diagrams showing a prefetched preview performance pattern determination table. FIG. 11-44 is a flowchart illustrating an example of variable display start setting processing. FIG. 11-45 is a flowchart illustrating an example of variable display rendering processing.

FIGS. 11-49 (A) to (D) are diagrams showing movable body notice pattern determination tables. In FIG. 11-50, (A) to (C) are diagrams for explaining the characteristics of each gaming state.

As shown in FIG. 11-36, the production control CPU 120 provides a countdown notice and a pending change notice as advance notice performances that foretell the jackpot reliability in the variable display before execution (the variable display in which execution is pending). , a pattern chance notice, and an effect display notice.

Furthermore, the performance control CPU 120 can execute a movable body preview, a character preview, a reach notice, and a button notice as preview performances that suggest that a jackpot will be controlled in the variable display.

In addition, the performance control CPU 120 uses a win/fail button performance and a movable object performance as a deciding performance to notify whether or not the jackpot game state is controlled in the variable display based on the super reach jackpot fluctuation pattern (SP reach A to E). and is executable.

In addition, the production control CPU 120 controls the scheduled output to be given in the jackpot game state after the end of the variable display part in which the variable display of decorative symbols in the variable display based on the super reach jackpot fluctuation patterns (SP reach A to E) is executed. It is possible to perform a post-effect in a post-effect part that informs the number of pitches in a specifiable manner.

In addition, when the control of any of the special states, such as the probability variable state, time saving state A, and time saving state B, is started, the performance control CPU 120 displays a state start display to display the start of control of each game state. It is possible to perform a rush effect to notify the user.

(Advance preview performance)
Next, a look-ahead preview effect will be explained. In this embodiment, in the starting winning determination process in step S101 in FIG. 6, the CPU 103 detects the occurrence of a starting winning, stores pending information in a predetermined area of the RAM 102, and executes a process of updating the pending storage number. . When a starting prize occurs, a random value for determining the display result (including jackpot type) and fluctuation pattern is extracted and stored as pending information, and the display result and fluctuation pattern are determined based on the extracted random value. Processing for prefetch determination is executed. After storing the pending information and the number of pending memories, an effect control command is transmitted to the effect control board 12 for specifying determination results such as the occurrence of a starting prize, the number of pending memories, and a pre-reading determination.

Based on the information received from the main board 11 in the advance notice setting process of step S161 in the performance control process process shown in FIG. Whether or not to execute a look-ahead notice effect that suggests that it will be controlled, and if it is decided to execute, the type of look-ahead notice effect to be executed (for example, "countdown notice", "pending change notice", "symbol chance notice") , "effect display notice" and various notice presentation patterns).

Note that in this embodiment, the execution of the pre-read preview effect is determined on the condition that the number of pending memories is "4"; It may also be determinable. In addition, although the type of advance preview performance to be executed is determined to be any one of countdown notice, pending change notice, pattern chance notice, and effect display notice, the present invention is not limited to this. Instead, multiple notices may be executed simultaneously.

The "countdown notice" starts the variable display of pending memories that were not subject to the look-ahead notice performance until the variable display of the held memories that were the target of the look-ahead notice performance (hereinafter also referred to as target hold) begins. This is an effect that performs a countdown such as "3" → "2" → "1" → "0" for each time.

In this embodiment, the effect pattern for the countdown notice is one of a pattern in which the countdown ends at "3", a pattern in which it ends in "2", a pattern in which it ends in "1", and a pattern in which it ends in "0". The pattern is determined. The expectation level increases in the order of patterns ending with "3", patterns ending with "2", patterns ending with "1", and patterns ending with "0" (Expectation level: ending with "3" < " End with "2" < End with "1" < End with "0").

For example, as shown in Figure 11-37 (A), if a countdown notice is executed and a pattern that ends with "0" is determined upon the occurrence of a starting prize, after the variable display ends (Figure 11 -37 (B)), and when the next variable display starts, character image 069SG100D and countdown display 069SG411 indicating "3" are displayed (see Figure 11-37 (C)), The display ends (see Figure 11-37(D)). Next, when the next variable display starts, a character image 069SG100C different from the character image 069SG100D and a countdown display 069SG412 indicating "2" are displayed (see FIG. 11-37(E)), and the corresponding variable display is displayed. The display ends (see Figure 11-37 (F)).

Next, when the next variable display starts, a character image 069SG100A different from the character images 069SG100D and 069SG100C and a countdown display 069SG413 indicating "1" are displayed (see FIG. 11-38 (G)), The variable display ends (see Figure 11-38 (H)). Next, when the next variable display, that is, the target pending variable display (for example, super reach variation pattern) is started, a character image 069SG100B different from the character images 069SG100D to 069SG100A and a countdown display 069SG414 indicating "0" are displayed. is displayed (see Figure 11-38 (I)), and the countdown notice ends.

Although not particularly shown, if the pattern "3" is determined, a countdown notice will be given at the time when the character image 069SG100D and the countdown display 069SG411 indicating "3" are displayed in Figure 11-37(C). When the pattern of "2" is decided, the countdown notice ends when the character image 069SG100C and the countdown display 069SG412 indicating "2" are displayed in Figure 11-37 (E). If the pattern "1" is determined, the countdown notice ends when the character image 069SG100A and the countdown display 069SG413 indicating "1" are displayed in FIG. 11-38(G).

Further, the countdown effect pattern is arbitrary, and five or more types of effect patterns may be set. Further, the countdown may be started from a number other than "3". Alternatively, the count may be increased such as "0" → "1" → "2" → "3".

"Pending change notice" changes the display color of the pending display of the target pending until it is announced whether or not it will be a jackpot in the variable display of the pending memory (target pending) that is the subject of the look-ahead preview effect. It's a performance.

In this embodiment, the performance patterns of the pending change notice include a pattern in which the display color of the pending display is finally "blue," "green," "red," and "gold." There are two patterns, and one of these patterns is determined. Although a detailed explanation will be omitted in this embodiment, the manner in which the display color of the pending display changes (for example, when the change is made, such as at the time of starting winning, when the pending memory is used up, or during the variable display period of the target pending), etc. , if "red" is determined, it can be arbitrarily determined whether to change to "red" from the beginning or to change it stepwise such as "blue" → "green" → "red", etc.) . The expectation level increases in the order of "blue," "green," "red," and "gold" (expectation level: "blue" < "green" < "red" < "gold").

For example, as shown in Figure 11-39 (A), when a starting prize is generated, execution of a hold change notice and a "red" pattern is determined, the hold of the target hold that was the subject of the hold change notice. After the display is displayed in white, the variable display ends. Then, when the next variable display starts, the display color of the target pending changes to "blue" (see FIG. 11-39(B)), and the variable display ends. Then, when the next variable display starts, the display color of the target pending changes from "blue" to "red" (see FIG. 11-39(C)), and the variable display ends. Then, the next variable display, that is, the target pending variable display (for example, super reach variation pattern) is started.

Note that the number of presentation patterns for the pending change notice is arbitrary, and may include five or more types of patterns. Further, the pending change is not limited to changing the color as described above, but may also be a change to a character, an item, or the like.

"Symbol chance notice" means that until the variable display of the pending memory (target pending) that was the target of the look-ahead notice performance starts, the missed symbol will be displayed in the variable display of the held memory that was not the target of the look-ahead notice performance. This is an effect that is stopped and displayed when an "even numbered symbol combination" or "odd numbered symbol combination" occurs.

In this embodiment, the performance patterns for predicting the chance of a symbol are two patterns in which the missing symbol is stopped and displayed in an "even symbol combination" (for example, "264", etc.), and a pattern in which the losing symbol is a "odd symbol combination" ( For example, there is a pattern that is stopped and displayed at "135", etc.), and it is determined whether the missed symbol is an "even symbol combination" or an "odd symbol combination" based on the variable display result. Furthermore, one of a plurality of types of symbol combinations such as "a combination of even symbols" and "a combination of odd symbols" may be determined. In addition, there are patterns in which the display color of the pedestal display section 069SG052, which will be described later and which constitutes a decorative pattern, is "blue", "green", "red", and "gold". A pattern is determined. The expectation level is higher when the missing symbols are "a combination of odd symbols" than "a combination of even symbols." Furthermore, the pedestal display area becomes higher in the order of "blue," "green," "red," and "gold" (expectation level: "blue" < "green" < "red" < "gold").

For example, as shown in Figure 11-40 (A), when a starting winning occurs and the symbol chance eye notice is executed and the performance pattern is determined, the variable display ends and the symbol starts from the next variable display. Start the chance notice.

If the missed symbol is determined to be a "combination of even numbered symbols" and a pattern in which the pedestal display section 069SG052 is "blue" is determined, the missed symbol will be stopped and displayed as a combination of even numbered symbols of "246", and the pedestal display The section 069SG052 is displayed in "blue" (see FIGS. 11-40 (B1) and (B2)). On the other hand, if a pattern is determined in which the missing symbol is "a combination of odd symbols" and the pedestal display section 069SG052 is "red", the missing symbol is stopped and displayed as a combination of odd symbols "375", and the pedestal display section 069SG052 is displayed in "red" (see Figures 11-40 (C1) and (C2)).

In this embodiment, the decorative designs are displayed on a number display section 069SG051 consisting of numbers "1" to "9" and a pedestal display section displayed on a lower display layer (on the back side) than the number display section 069SG051. 069SG052. The pedestal display section 069SG052 is formed into a substantially rectangular shape so as to surround the numbers "1" to "9" displayed on the numeric display section 069SG051, and is displayed in a predetermined display color (for example, white). This is a common display format for all numbers (“1” to “9”).

Note that the number of performance patterns for the symbol chance eye preview is arbitrary, and the number of symbol combinations, the display color of the pedestal display section 069SG052, etc. may have five or more types of patterns. Note that a character image, a decorative image, or the like may be displayed on the pedestal display section 069SG052. Further, for example, individual character images corresponding to each number (“1” to “9”) may be displayed.

"Effect display notice" is used until the variable display of the pending memory (target pending) that was the target of the look-ahead notice performance starts, and when the variable display of the pending memory that was not the target of the look-ahead notice performance starts. , an effect image is displayed in the area below the movable body 32 on the display screen of the image display device 5.

In this embodiment, the effect display preview production pattern includes a pattern in which the effect image is "blue", "green", "red", and "gold". A pattern is determined. Although a detailed explanation will be omitted in this embodiment, the manner in which the display color of the effect image changes (for example, if "red" is determined, it may be changed to "red" from the beginning, or it may be changed from "blue" to " It is possible to arbitrarily determine whether the color is changed stepwise (such as from "green" to "red"). The expectation level increases in the order of "blue," "green," "red," and "gold" (expectation level: "blue" < "green" < "red" < "gold").

For example, as shown in Figure 11-41(A), when the effect display notice is executed and the "red" pattern is determined upon the occurrence of a starting prize, the variable display ends (Figure 11-41(A)). B), after the next variable display starts (see FIG. 11-41(C)), when the decorative pattern is stopped and displayed, the area below the movable body 32 on the display screen of the image display device 5 is displayed. A “blue” effect image 069SG420 is displayed (see FIG. 11-41(D)). Next, when the next variable display starts, the effect image 069SG420 is hidden (see FIG. 11-41(E)), and when the decorative pattern is stopped and displayed, the movable body on the display screen of the image display device 5 A “red” effect image 069SG420 is displayed in the area below 32 (see FIG. 11-41(F)). Then, when the next variable display, that is, the target pending variable display (for example, super reach variation pattern) is started, the effect image 069SG420 is hidden (see FIG. 11-41(G)).

Note that the number of presentation patterns for the effect display preview is arbitrary, and may include five or more types of presentation patterns. Furthermore, the size of the effect image 069SG420 may be varied depending on the degree of expectation. Further, the effect image 069SG420 may be displayed not only at the end of the variable display, but also at the start of the variable display or during other periods.

Next, the performance control CPU 120 determines that the reserved memory stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 102 will be controlled to a jackpot gaming state based on the information received from the main board 11 in the pre-read notice setting process of step S161. The look-ahead preview performance type determination tables A to D used for determining whether to execute the suggested look-ahead preview performance and the type of look-ahead preview performance to be executed when execution is determined will be described. In Figure 11-42, (A) is the preview performance type determination table A used in the normal state, (B) is the preview performance type determination table B used in the variable probability state, and (C) is the preview performance used in the time-saving state A. The type determination tables C and (D) are the preview performance type determination table D used in the time saving state B. In the following, random numbers from 0 to 99 are used as random numbers for determining various performance types.

As shown in FIG. 11-42 (A), in the preview performance type determination table A used when the gaming state is the normal state, when the variable display result is "Jackpot", 20 pieces are set to "Non-execution". Judgment values are assigned, 20 judgment values are assigned to "Countdown notice", 20 judgment values are assigned to "Pending change notice", and 20 judgment values are assigned to "Symbol chance notice". , and 20 determination values are assigned to "Effect Display Preview". On the other hand, when the variable display result is "miss", 50 judgment values are assigned to "non-execution", 10 judgment values are assigned to "countdown notice", and "pending change notice" is assigned. 10 determination values are assigned to "symbol chance eye preview", 15 determination values are assigned to "effect display preview", and 15 determination values are assigned to "effect display preview".

As shown in FIG. 11-42 (B), in the preview performance type determination table B used when the gaming state is a variable probability state, when the variable display result is "Jackpot", 20 pieces are placed in "Non-execution". Judgment values are assigned, 20 judgment values are assigned to "Countdown notice", 20 judgment values are assigned to "Pending change notice", and 20 judgment values are assigned to "Symbol chance notice". , and 20 determination values are assigned to "Effect Display Preview". On the other hand, when the variable display result is "miss", 60 judgment values are assigned to "non-execution", 5 judgment values are assigned to "countdown notice", and "pending change notice" is assigned. 5 judgment values are assigned to ``symbol chance eye notice'', 15 judgment values are assigned to ``effect display notice'', and 15 judgment values are assigned to ``effect display notice''.

As shown in FIG. 11-42 (C), in the preview performance type determination table C used when the gaming state is time saving state A, when the variable display result is "jackpot", 40 pieces are displayed in "non-execution". 20 judgment values are assigned to "Pending Change Notice", 20 judgment values are assigned to "Symbol Chance Eye Notice", and 20 judgment values are assigned to "Effect Display Notice". Twenty judgment values are assigned. On the other hand, when the variable display result is "miss", 70 judgment values are assigned to "non-execution", 10 judgment values are assigned to "pending change notice", and "symbol chance 10 determination values are assigned to "Notice", and 10 determination values are assigned to "Effect display notice".

As shown in FIG. 11-42 (D), in the preview performance type determination table D used when the gaming state is time saving state B, when the variable display result is "jackpot", 70 , and 30 determination values are assigned to "symbol chance notice". On the other hand, when the variable display result is "miss", 100 determination values are assigned to "non-execution".

In this way, in the pre-read preview performance, when the variable display result is "miss", the percentage of "non-execution" increases in the order of normal state, variable probability state, time-saving state A, and time-saving state B. In other words, it is most likely to be executed in the variable probability state, and not executed (least likely to be executed) in the time saving state B. Further, the "countdown notice" is a notice that is not executed in the time saving state A and the time saving state B, and the "pending change notice" and the "effect display notice" are notices that are not executed in the time saving state B.

Here, the determination of the pre-read notice performance type will be compared in three gaming states (variable probability state, time saving state A, and time saving state B) in which time saving control is executed.

First, when the variable display result is a "jackpot", the execution rate of the look-ahead preview effect is 80% in the variable probability state, 60% in the time-saving state A, and 30% in the time-saving state B, and the variable display result is a "miss". In this case, the number of types of pre-read preview performances that can be determined is 40% in the variable probability state, 30% in the time saving state A, and 0% (non-execution) in the time saving state B.

In addition, the number of types of look-ahead preview effects that can be determined when the variable display result is a “jackpot” is “4 types” in the variable probability state, “3 types” in the time-saving state A, and “2 types” in the time-saving state B. The number of types of look-ahead preview effects that can be determined when the variable display result is “miss” is “4 types” in the variable probability state, “3 types” in the time saving state A, and “0 types (not applicable)” in the time saving state B. Execution).

In this way, in time-saving state B, only the "symbol chance notice" can be executed when the variable display result becomes "jackpot", and other pre-reading notice performances are not executed. , if the variable display result is "miss", the pre-read preview effect is not executed. That is, in the time-saving state B, the execution rate of the pre-read preview performance is lower than in the variable probability state or the time-saving state A, and the number of types of performance that can be determined is smaller.

In addition, in the time saving state B, it is possible to perform a "symbol chance notice" as a look-ahead notice performance. This is because in time-saving state B, a variation pattern with a short variable display time (for example, super shortened non-reach) is likely to be determined, and when performing a look-ahead effect in variable display 1, the time will be shorter, for example. , it is easy to miss color changes in small pending display areas such as ``pending change notice''. Further, although the "countdown notice" is executed using a plurality of variable displays, it is difficult to notice changes in the count because the count is displayed for a short period in one variable display. On the other hand, the "design chance eye notice" is executed with multiple variable displays, and changes in the display color of the decorative design and the pedestal can be suitably shown when the decorative design is stopped and displayed, so the time-saving state B It can be said that this is a look-ahead preview performance suitable for execution in the future.

In addition, in this embodiment, when the variable display result is "miss" in the time saving state B, the pre-read preview effect is not executed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention is not limited to this. If the execution rate of the look-ahead preview performance when the variable display result is "miss" is lower than the execution ratio of the look-ahead notice performance when the variable display result is "miss" in the variable probability state or time-saving state A, then the time-saving state B In the case where the variable display result is "miss", a pre-read preview effect may be executed. In addition, if the number of types of pre-read preview performances that can be determined when the variable display result is "miss" is smaller than in the variable probability state or time-saving state A, then two or more types of pre-read notice performances can be executed in time-saving state B. may be done.

Next, performance pattern determination tables A to F used when the performance control CPU 120 determines the performance pattern of the pre-read preview performance that has been decided to be executed will be explained. In Figure 11-43, (A) is a performance pattern determination table A used in the normal state, (B) is a performance pattern determination table B used in the variable probability state, and (C) is a performance pattern determination table used in the time saving state A. C and (D) are performance pattern determination tables D used in the time saving state B, (E) are performance pattern determination tables E used in the normal state, and (F) are performance pattern determination tables F used in the variable probability state.

As shown in FIG. 11-43(A), the performance pattern determination table is commonly used when determining the performance patterns of pending change notice, symbol chance notice, and effect display notice when the gaming state is the normal state. In A, when the variable display result is "Jackpot", 10 judgment values are assigned to "Blue", 20 judgment values are assigned to "Green", and 50 judgment values are assigned to "Red". 20 determination values are assigned to "gold". On the other hand, when the variable display result is "miss", 65 judgment values are assigned to "blue", 20 judgment values are assigned to "green", and 10 judgment values are assigned to "red". Judgment values are assigned, and five judgment values are assigned to "gold".

As shown in FIG. 11-43(B), a performance pattern determination table commonly used when determining performance patterns for pending change notice, symbol chance notice, and effect display notice when the gaming state is in a variable probability state. In B, when the variable display result is "Jackpot", 10 judgment values are assigned to "blue", 20 judgment values are assigned to "green", and 50 judgment values are assigned to "red". 20 determination values are assigned to "gold". On the other hand, when the variable display result is "miss", 65 judgment values are assigned to "blue", 20 judgment values are assigned to "green", and 10 judgment values are assigned to "red". Judgment values are assigned, and five judgment values are assigned to "gold".

As shown in FIG. 11-43 (C), when the gaming state is time saving state A, performance pattern determination that is commonly used when determining performance patterns for pending change notice, symbol chance notice, and effect display notice. In Table C, when the variable display result is "Jackpot", 10 judgment values are assigned to "Blue", 20 judgment values are assigned to "Green", and 70 judgment values are assigned to "Red". judgment values are assigned. On the other hand, when the variable display result is "miss", 70 judgment values are assigned to "blue", 20 judgment values are assigned to "green", and 10 judgment values are assigned to "red". A judgment value is assigned.

As shown in FIG. 11-43 (D), in the performance pattern determination table D used to determine the performance pattern for symbol chance notice when the gaming state is time saving state B, the variable display result is "Jackpot". In this case, 90 determination values are assigned to "red" and 10 determination values are assigned to "gold". On the other hand, if the variable display result is "miss", the "symbol chance notice" is not executed, so no determination value is assigned to any performance pattern.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 11-43 (E), when the gaming state is the normal state, the performance pattern determination table E used to determine the performance pattern of the countdown notice, the variable display result is "Jackpot". If , 5 judgment values are assigned to the pattern ending with "3", 5 judgment values are assigned to the pattern ending with "2", and 5 judgment values are assigned to the pattern ending with "1". 20 determination values are assigned, and 70 determination values are assigned to the pattern ending in "0". On the other hand, if the variable display result is "miss", 65 judgment values are assigned to the pattern ending with "3", and 20 judgment values are assigned to the pattern ending with "2". , 10 determination values are assigned to the pattern ending with "1", and 5 determination values are assigned to the pattern ending with "0".

As shown in FIG. 11-43 (F), when the gaming state is in the variable probability state, the variable display result is "Jackpot" in the effect pattern determination table F used to determine the effect pattern of the countdown notice. In this case, the pattern ending with "3" is assigned 5 decision values, the pattern ending with "2" is assigned 5 decision values, and the pattern ending with "1" is assigned 20 decision values. A determination value of 70 is assigned to a pattern ending in "0". On the other hand, if the variable display result is "miss", 50 judgment values are assigned to the pattern ending with "3", and 20 judgment values are assigned to the pattern ending with "2". , 20 determination values are assigned to the pattern ending with "1", and 10 determination values are assigned to the pattern ending with "0".

In this way, the production patterns for pending change notices, symbol chance notices, and effect display notices are set so that the expectation level increases in the order of "blue," "green," "red," and "gold." Expectation level: "Blue" < "Green" < "Red" < "Gold"). In addition, the performance pattern in the countdown preview is set so that the expectation level increases in the order of "3", "2", "1", and "0" (expectation level: "3"). ” to end < “2” to end < “1” to end < to “0”).

Here, the determination of performance patterns for various notices will be compared in three gaming states (variable probability state, time saving state A, and time saving state B) in which time saving control is executed.

In addition, when the variable display result is a "jackpot", the number of various preview performance patterns that can be determined is "4 types" in the variable probability state, "3 types" in the time saving state A, and "2 types" in the time saving state B. When the variable display result is ``miss'', the number of various notice presentation patterns that can be determined is ``4 types'' in the variable probability state, ``3 types'' in the time saving state A, and ``0 types (not applicable) in the time saving state B. Execution).

In this way, in time-saving state B, when the variable display result is a "jackpot", it is possible to determine one of two types, "red" or "gold", as the production pattern for the "symbol chance notice". In addition, when the variable display result is "miss", no one is determined as the performance pattern of "symbol chance eye notice" (non-execution). That is, in the time-saving state B, the number of performance patterns that can be determined is smaller than in the variable probability state or the time-saving state A.

(Preview performance)
Next, the preview performance will be explained. As shown in Figure 11-36, the "movable body notice", "character notice", "reach notice", and "button notice" as advance notice performances are the predetermined ones in the non-reach variation pattern and the super reach variation pattern. In the variable display start setting process shown in FIG. 11-44, the performance control CPU 120 determines whether or not to execute various preview performances, and if execution is determined, the performance of the preview performance to be executed. Determine the pattern.

The "movable body notice" is an effect that suggests a jackpot by vibrating the movable body 32 up and down when the variable display starts (see Figures 11-57 (A1) (B1)) ). There are two types of presentation patterns for movable object announcements: "Vibration (small) pattern" where the vertical vibration width is small, and "Vibration (large) pattern" where the vertical vibration width is larger than the vibration (small), and the display results are variable. Depending on this, one of non-execution, "vibration (small) pattern", and "vibration (large) pattern" is determined.

The movable body 32 is movable in the vertical direction between an origin position above the display screen of the image display device 5 and a presentation position approximately in the center of the display screen, and does not fall due to its own weight from the origin position to the presentation position. It is considered possible. The vibration in the movable body preview is an effect in which the movable body 32 is vibrated up and down between the origin position and a predetermined position between the origin position and the effect position. Further, the presentation pattern is not limited to the above, and three or more types may be set.

"Character preview" is when a predetermined character appears during the period from the start of variable display until the variable display mode of the decorative pattern changes to reach mode, the character's lines are displayed, and the speaker 8L, 8R This is an effect that incites whether or not a reach mode will be achieved by outputting the audio of the displayed dialogue (see FIGS. 11-57 (A2) (B2)). There are two production patterns for the reach notice: a ``Speech A pattern'' in which the character's line is ``Reach?'' and a ``Speech B pattern'' in which the character's line is ``Maybe it's reach!!'', and depending on the variable display result. , non-execution, "Serif A pattern", or "Serif B pattern" is determined. The content of the lines is arbitrary, and lines other than those listed above may be used.

Note that the character's dialogue pattern is not limited to the above, and three or more types may be set. Further, although the type of character does not change, it may be possible to select one of a plurality of types of characters depending on the variable display result.

"Reach notice" is a stop display in the left decorative pattern display area 5L after the variable display of the decorative pattern starts, the decorative pattern that was variably displayed in the left decorative pattern display area 5L is stopped and displayed. This is an effect that incites whether or not the decorative pattern with the same number as the decorative pattern will be stopped and displayed in the right decorative pattern display area 5R, that is, whether or not it will be in the reach mode (Figure 11-57 (A3 to A5), ( (See B3-B5).

Specifically, after the decorative pattern that has been variably displayed in the left decorative pattern display area 5L is stopped and displayed, the left decorative pattern is displayed in front of the stop display position in the variably displayed right decorative pattern display area 5R. The deceleration display of the decorative pattern having the same number as the decorative pattern stopped and displayed in the area 5L is started (see FIGS. 11-57 (A4) and (B4)). Then, when an operation by the player is detected within a predetermined operation valid period after the deceleration display starts, or when no operation is detected and the operation valid period has elapsed, if the reach mode does not occur, the left decoration A decorative pattern with the same number as the decorative pattern stopped and displayed in the pattern display area 5L passes through the stop display position, and the next decorative pattern is stopped and displayed (see Figures 11-57 (A5) and (B5)), and the reach mode is reached. In this case, a decorative pattern having the same number as the decorative pattern stopped and displayed in the left decorative pattern display area 5L is stopped and displayed at the stopped display position.

In addition, the reach mode refers to the combination of multiple decorative symbols (for example, "333", ), while the decorative patterns (e.g., the left and right patterns, etc.) excluding one of the decorative patterns (e.g., the middle pattern, etc.) are stopped and displayed, the variable display of that one decorative pattern (e.g., the middle pattern, etc.) is performed. This is the manner in which this is done (also referred to as reach performance).

When the variation pattern is non-reach or SP reach, the production control CPU 120 executes the reach notice in the reach notice execution determination process of step 069SGS278, which will be described later, regardless of whether the variable display result becomes a jackpot display result. It is determined by lottery whether or not it is, and a performance control pattern (process table) is set according to the determined content. Also, if the fluctuation pattern is non-reach, the reach mode will not be activated after the reach notice is executed, and if the fluctuation pattern is SP reach, the reach mode will be activated after the reach notice is executed, and the SP reach effect will be executed. .

"Button notice" is when the above-mentioned reach notice is executed, after the deceleration display of the decorative symbol with the same number as the decorative symbol stopped and displayed in the left decorative symbol display area 5L starts in the right decorative symbol display area 5R. , is an effect that is executed until a predetermined operational validity period has elapsed (see FIGS. 11-57 (A4) and (B4)). Specifically, it is an operation promotion effect that encourages the operation of the push button 31B from the start of the deceleration display of the decorative pattern until the elapse of a predetermined operation effective period, and the operation promotion display and the push button 31B are simulated. The operation promotion display and the button image are displayed when an operation of the push button 31B is detected within the valid operation period, or when no operation is detected and the valid operation period has elapsed. is hidden and exits.

The presentation pattern (operation promotion mode) of the button notice is a "long press pattern" that encourages the user to press and hold the push button 31B for a predetermined operation period, and a "long press pattern" that prompts the push button 31B to be repeatedly pressed for a predetermined operation period. There is a "repeated hit pattern" and a "single hit pattern" that prompts you to press the push button 31B once. Depending on the variable display result, you can choose between non-execution, "long press pattern", "repeated hit pattern", and "single hit pattern". Either one is decided. Note that the presentation patterns are not limited to those described above, and four or more types, or two or less types may be set.

The operation promotion display becomes ``Long press!'' in the ``Long press pattern'', ``Continuous hit!'' in the ``Multiple hit pattern'', and ``One hit!'' in the ``One hit pattern''.

(Decision performance)
Next, the final performance will be explained. As shown in Figure 11-36, the deciding performance is a performance that is executed before notifying whether or not the jackpot will be controlled at the end of the SP reach performance in the variable display of the super reach variation pattern (Fig. 11-36). 58 (C4 to C8), Figures 11-59 (A10 to D3), and (B7 to D3)), and is executed during the predetermined operation validity period and after the There is a "movable body performance" that is executed.

The "right/fail button effect" is an operation promotion effect that urges the user to operate the push button 31B until a predetermined operation validity period has elapsed, and is an operation promotion display consisting of the words "Release!!" and "Press!!" and a button image imitating the push button 31B are displayed, and when an operation of the push button 31B is detected within the valid operation period, or when no operation is detected and the valid operation period has passed. , the operation promotion display and the button image disappear and the process ends (see FIG. 11-58 (C4), FIG. 11-59 (A8 to A10), and (B7)).

There are two production patterns: a "white pattern" in which the button LED 62 emits white light and the button image is displayed in white, and a "red pattern" in which the button LED 62 emits red light and the button image is displayed in red, which will be described later. In the "movable body motion pattern determination process", if "pattern A-1", "pattern A-2", "pattern B-1", and "pattern B-2" are determined, the "white pattern" is determined. If the "pattern B-3" is determined, the "red pattern" is determined. It should be noted that either the "white pattern" or the "red pattern" may be determined in accordance with the variable display result, regardless of the "movable body motion pattern determination process". Further, the presentation pattern is not limited to the above, and three or more types may be set, or only one type may be set.

The "movable body performance" is a performance that notifies whether or not the jackpot game state is controlled depending on whether or not the movable body 32 is dropped from the origin position to the performance position. Specifically, it is executed when the operation of the push button 31B is detected within the valid operation period in the "pass/fail button presentation", or when no operation is detected and the valid operation period has elapsed, and the movable body 32 returns to the origin position. If the movable body 32 does not fall from the origin position to the production position, it will be notified that the jackpot gaming state will be controlled, and if the movable body 32 does not fall from the origin position to the production position, it will not be controlled to the jackpot gaming state, that is, it will be notified that it is a loss. (See Figure 11-58 (C6) and Figure 11-59 (D1)).

Note that when the movable body 32 falls, the movable body LED 208 and the game effect lamp 9 built into the movable body 32 light up in a predetermined manner, and an image of an enemy character being defeated is displayed on the display screen of the image display device 5. , an effect image emphasizing the movable body 32, etc. are displayed, and when the movable body 32 does not fall, lighting of the movable body LED 208 and game effect lamp 9, display of an image of an enemy character being defeated, an effect image, etc. are not executed.

In this way, in the "decision effect", if the variable display result is a jackpot, after the win/fail button effect is performed, the movable object effect is executed to notify the jackpot, and the variable display result is a loss. In some cases, after the success/failure button performance is performed, a failure notification is performed without executing the movable object performance.

(Post-production)
Next, the post performance will be explained. As shown in FIG. 11-36, the post performance is the post event after it is announced that the jackpot gaming state will be controlled in the variable display part where the variable display of decorative symbols in the variable display of the super reach jackpot fluctuation pattern is executed. The performance part is a performance in which the expected number of balls to be issued in the corresponding jackpot game state is notified in a specifiable manner (see FIG. 11-60 (D4 to D10)).

The variable display part is the period from the start of the variable display in the variable display period of the super reach jackpot fluctuation pattern until the variable display result is announced, and the post performance part is the period during the variable display period of the super reach jackpot fluctuation pattern. This is the period from the end of the variable display part until the end of the variable display. That is, the variable display period of the super reach jackpot variation pattern includes the variable display part period and the post performance part period. In addition, the post production is executed during the fanfare period from the start of the jackpot game state until the start of the round game, and during the symbol confirmation period after the decorative symbols are stopped and displayed in the variable display of the super reach jackpot fluctuation pattern. You can do it like this.

In the post-production, the ally characters and enemy characters that appeared in the SP reach production and the expected number of pitches counter display that shows the number of pitches expected to be given in the jackpot game state are displayed, and the ally character attacks the enemy character. Each time the number of pitches to be pitched is added, the counter display for the number of pitches expected to be pitched increases. Next, during a predetermined operation validity period, an operation promotion display consisting of the words "Press!" and a button image imitating the push button 31B are displayed, and when an operation of the push button 31B is detected within the operation validity period, Or, when no operation is detected and the operation validity period has elapsed, the friendly character defeats the enemy character, a predetermined number (for example, 1000 or 1500, etc.) is displayed on the expected ball count counter display, and the expected ball count during the jackpot is displayed. The number of pitches will be reported. Then, after the post performance ends, a jackpot game state is started.

(Entertainment effect)
Next, the rush effect will be explained. As shown in Figure 11-36, the entry performance consists of a "rush introduction performance" that is executed before the start of the "probability change entry performance" and "time-saving entry performance A", and a control of the probability change state after the end of the jackpot game state. "Probability variable entry performance" that is executed when the game starts, "Time-saving entry performance A" that is performed when the control of time-saving state A starts after the end of the jackpot game state, and jackpot game state in the low-probability state. There is a "time-saving entry performance B" that is executed when the control of the time-saving state B is started due to the variable display being executed 900 times without being controlled by. In addition, the timing to start the relief time saving attainment fluctuation (variable display when the value of the rescue time saving number counter becomes 0) at which "time saving rush effect B" is executed, that is, before the execution of "time saving rush effect B" is "Shutter effect" (see FIGS. 11-23(B)(C) and FIGS. 11-25(B)(C)) is executed.

Specifically, the "probable variable entry performance" and the "time-saving entry performance A" are executed during the ending period of the jackpot game state, and the "time-saving entry performance B" is executed at the 900th time when the control start conditions for the time-saving state B are satisfied. This is executed during a symbol confirmation period (for example, 20 seconds) after the variable display (relief time shortening variation) ends.

"Time-saving entry performance A" is a time-saving state A by displaying the characters "BATTLE RUSH entry!!" after the entry introduction performance (see Figures 11-63 (A) to (C)) is executed. This is an effect that notifies the start of control (see FIG. 11-63(D)).

In the "probable entry effect", after the entry introduction effect (see Figures 11-63 (A) to (C)) is displayed, the word "Kiwami" is displayed in addition to the words "BATTLE RUSH Rush!!" This is an effect that notifies that control of the variable probability state is started (see FIG. 11-63 (D) and FIG. 11-64 (A1 to A4)).

"Time-saving rush effect B" does not display the rush introduction effect (see Figures 11-63 (A) to (C)), but instead displays the words "BATTLE RUSH rush!!" and "Play 1100". This is an effect that indicates that the time saving state B control is to be started by displaying characters (see FIG. 11-63 (D) and FIG. 11-64 (B1 to B4)).

In addition, for the variable entry performance/time-saving entry performance B, the characters ``BATTLE RUSH RUSH!!'' may be displayed after the characters ``Kiwami'' and ``Yu-1100'' are displayed.

(Variable display start setting process)
Next, the operation of the production control board 12 will be explained. FIG. 11-44 is a flowchart showing the variable display start setting process (step S171) in the production control process shown in FIG. In the variable display start setting process, the production control CPU 120 first determines whether or not the first variation start command reception flag is on (step 069SGS271). If the first fluctuation start command reception flag is on (step 069SGS271; Yes), it corresponds to the buffer numbers "1-0" to "1-4" of the first special figure pending memory in the reception command buffer at the time of start winning. The various command data and various flags that are attached and stored are shifted upward by one buffer number (step 069SGS272). Note that the contents of buffer number "1-0" cannot be shifted because there is no destination to shift them to, so they are erased.

Specifically, the various command data stored in correspondence with the buffer number "1-1" of the first special figure reservation memory are shifted so as to be stored in correspondence with the buffer number "1-0", and the The various command data stored in correspondence with the buffer number "1-2" of the 1st special figure reservation memory is shifted so that it is stored in correspondence with the buffer number "1-1", and the data is stored in correspondence with the buffer number "1-1". The various command data stored in correspondence with the buffer number "1-3" are shifted so as to be stored in correspondence with the buffer number "1-2", and the data is stored in the buffer number "1-4" of the first special drawing holding memory. ” is shifted so that it is stored in association with the buffer number “1-3”.

Further, if the first fluctuation start command reception flag is not in the on state (off state) in step 069SGS271 (step 069SGS271; No), it is determined whether the second fluctuation start command reception flag is in the on state ( Step 069SGS273). If the second fluctuation start command reception flag is not on (step 069SGS273; No), the variable display start setting process is ended, and if the second fluctuation start command reception flag is on (step 069SGS273; Yes), Shift the various command data stored in association with the buffer numbers "2-0" to "2-4" of the second special figure pending memory in the received command buffer at the time of start winning to the upper position by one buffer number. (Step 069SGS274). Note that the contents of buffer number "2-0" cannot be shifted because there is no destination to shift them to, so they are erased.

Specifically, the various command data stored in correspondence with the buffer number "2-1" in the second special figure reservation memory are shifted so as to be stored in correspondence with the buffer number "2-0", and the The various command data stored in correspondence with the buffer number "2-2" of the second special figure reservation memory is shifted so that it is stored in correspondence with the buffer number "2-1", and the data is stored in correspondence with the buffer number "2-1", and The various command data stored in correspondence with the buffer number "2-3" are shifted to be stored in correspondence with the buffer number "2-2", and the data is stored in the buffer number "2-4" of the second special figure holding memory. ” is shifted so that it is stored in association with the buffer number “2-3”.

After executing step 069SGS272 or step 069SGS274, the production control CPU 120 reads the fluctuation pattern designation command from the fluctuation pattern designation command storage area (step 069SGS275). The variable pattern designation command is stored in the variable pattern designation command storage area in response to reception of the fluctuation pattern designation command in the command analysis process (S75) shown in FIG. 6, and is deleted when the variable display ends. Note that the fluctuation pattern designation command may be deleted in response to reading.

Next, the display result (stop symbol) of the decorative symbol is determined according to the data stored in the display result designation command storage area (that is, the received display result designation command) (step 069SGS276). In this case, the performance control CPU 120 determines the stop symbols of the decorative symbols according to the display result specified by the display result designation command, and stores data indicating the determined stop symbols of the decorative symbols in the decorative symbol display result storage area. do. In addition, in the command analysis process (S75) shown in FIG. 6, the received display result designation command is stored in the display result designation command storage area in response to the reception of the display result designation command, and the received display result designation command is stored at the end of the variable display. will be deleted. Note that the display result designation command may be deleted in response to reading.

In addition, in this feature part 069SG, when the received variable display result designation command is the second variable display result designation command corresponding to jackpot A, the performance control CPU 120, for example, selects a stop symbol other than "7". It is determined from among a plurality of combinations of even-numbered symbols (for example, combinations of decorative symbols such as "222", "444", "666", and "888"). In addition, if the received variable display result designation command is the third variable display result designation command corresponding to jackpot B, the stop symbols may include multiple combinations of odd symbols other than "7" (for example, "111", " 333'', ``555'', ``999'', etc.). In addition, if the received variable display result designation command is the fourth variable display result designation command corresponding to jackpot C, a combination of decorative symbols in which 3 symbols are aligned with "7" (jackpot symbol) is used as the stop symbol. decide. Further, when the received variable display result designation command is the first variable display result designation command corresponding to a loss, a decorative pattern in which three symbols are irregular is determined as a stop symbol.

In addition, in the advance notice setting process of step S161 in the production control process process of FIG. 10, if the production control CPU 120 decides to execute the above-described symbol chance eye notice, the variable display until the variable display of the target pending is started. The stopping symbols are determined to be a combination of even symbols or a combination of odd symbols.

In determining these stop symbols, the production control CPU 120 extracts random numbers for determining the stop symbols, and uses a stop symbol determination table in which numerical values are associated with data indicating combinations of decorative symbols. Then, the stop symbol of the decorative symbol can be determined. That is, the stop symbols may be determined by selecting data indicating a combination of decorative symbols corresponding to numerical values that match the extracted random numbers.

Next, the performance control CPU 120 determines whether or not a rescue time reduction number A designation command that specifies that the rescue time reduction has been reached is stored in the command storage area, that is, whether or not the fluctuation is a variation in which the rescue time reduction has been reached. (Step 069SGS276A). If it is a relief time-saving attainment variation (step 069SGS276A; Yes), a shutter effect setting process is executed (step 069SGS276B), and if it is not a relief time-saving attainment variation (step 069SGS276A; No), the process advances to step 069SGS277. In the shutter performance setting process, a period until the start of the performance is set in a shutter performance start wait timer, and the corresponding shutter performance is started at the timing when the performance start wait timer times out.

Next, the performance control CPU 120 determines whether the variation pattern stored in the variation pattern designation command storage area is a shortened non-reach variation pattern or a super shortened non-reach variation pattern (step 069SGS277). If the variation pattern is a shortened non-reach variation pattern or a super shortened non-reach variation pattern (step 069SGS277; Yes), the process advances to step 069SGS283. If the variation pattern is not a shortened non-reach variation pattern or a super shortened non-reach variation pattern, that is, if the variation pattern is a non-reach variation pattern or a super reach variation pattern (Step 069SGS277; No), execute reach notice execution determination processing. (Step 069SGS278).

In the reach notice execution determination process, for example, a random number (0 to 99) for determining the execution of the reach notice is extracted, and the presence or absence of execution of the reach notice is determined using the reach notice execution determination table shown in FIG. 11-46 (A). do.

In the reach notice execution determination table, as shown in Figure 11-46 (A), for each of "non-execution" and "execution", when the gaming state is "normal state" and "variable probability state" , "Time-saving state A", and "Time-saving state B" are assigned different judgment values so that the number of judgment values shown in FIG. 11-46(A) is obtained.

Specifically, when the gaming state is "normal state", 50 determination values are assigned to "non-execution" and 50 determination values are assigned to "execution". Further, when the gaming state is a "variable probability state", 50 determination values are assigned to "non-execution" and 50 determination values are assigned to "execution". Further, when the gaming state is "time saving state A", 60 determination values are assigned to "non-execution" and 40 determination values are assigned to "execution". Further, when the gaming state is "time saving state B", 80 determination values are assigned to "non-execution" and 20 determination values are assigned to "execution".

In this way, when comparing the reach notice in three gaming states excluding the normal state, the execution rate is set to be lower in the order of variable probability state, time saving state A, and time saving state B (execution ratio: probability variable state >Time-saving state A>Time-saving state B).

In addition, in this embodiment, a mode in which the reach notice can be executed with a probability of 20% in the time saving state B is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the reach notice is not executed in the time saving state B. You can do it like this.

Returning to FIG. 11-44, in step 069SGS279A, it is determined whether or not it was decided to execute the reach notice in step 069SGS278 (step 069SGS279A), and if it is determined that the execution of the reach notice has not been decided (step 069SGS279A; No), proceed to step 069SGS280, and if it is determined that the execution of the reach notice has been decided (step 069SGS279A; Yes), select the effect control pattern (process table) corresponding to the reach notice (step 069SGS279B), and then press the button notice. Pattern determination processing is executed (step 069SGS279C).

In the button notification pattern determination process, for example, a random number (0 to 99) for button notification pattern determination is extracted, and the button notification pattern corresponding to the gaming state is determined as shown in FIGS. 11-46 (B) to (E). A button notification pattern is determined using Tables A to D.

In the button notification pattern determination tables A to D, as shown in Figures 11-46 (B) to (E), When the variable display result is "Jackpot", "Out of reach", and "Out of reach", different judgment values are shown in Figures 11-46 (B) to (E). It is assigned as follows.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11-46(B), in the button preview pattern determination table A used when the gaming state is "normal state", when the variable display result is "jackpot", 20 judgment values are assigned to "Non-execution", 40 judgment values are assigned to "One hit", 20 judgment values are assigned to "Continuous hit", and 20 judgment values are assigned to "Long press". 20 judgment values are assigned to . In addition, when the variable display result is "out of reach", 70 judgment values are assigned to "non-execution", 15 judgment values are assigned to "one hit", and 15 judgment values are assigned to "successive hit". 10 determination values are assigned to "long press", and 5 determination values are assigned to "long press". In addition, when the variable display result is "Non-reach," 70 judgment values are assigned to "Non-execution," 5 judgment values are assigned to "One hit," and five judgment values are assigned to "Continuous hit." 10 determination values are assigned to "long press" and 15 determination values are assigned to "long press".

In addition, as shown in FIG. 11-46(C), in the button notice pattern determination table B used when the gaming state is "probable variable state", when the variable display result is "jackpot", "non-execution ”, 20 judgment values are assigned to “one hit”, 40 judgment values are allocated to “single hit”, 20 judgment values are allocated to “long press”, and “long press” is assigned 20 judgment values. Twenty judgment values are assigned. In addition, when the variable display result is "out of reach", 70 judgment values are assigned to "non-execution", 15 judgment values are assigned to "one hit", and 15 judgment values are assigned to "successive hit". 10 determination values are assigned to "long press", and 5 determination values are assigned to "long press". In addition, when the variable display result is "Non-reach," 70 judgment values are assigned to "Non-execution," 5 judgment values are assigned to "One hit," and five judgment values are assigned to "Continuous hit." 10 determination values are assigned to "long press" and 15 determination values are assigned to "long press".

In addition, as shown in FIG. 11-46(D), in the button preview pattern determination table C used when the gaming state is "time saving state A," when the variable display result is "jackpot," 20 judgment values are assigned to "Execution", 40 judgment values are assigned to "One hit", 20 judgment values are assigned to "Continuous hit", and 20 judgment values are assigned to "Long press". 20 judgment values are assigned. In addition, when the variable display result is "out of reach", 80 judgment values are assigned to "non-execution", 10 judgment values are assigned to "single hit", and 10 judgment values are assigned to "successive hit". Five determination values are assigned to "long press", and five determination values are assigned to "long press". In addition, when the variable display result is "non-reach," 80 judgment values are assigned to "non-execution," 5 judgment values are assigned to "one hit," and "successive hits" are assigned 5 judgment values. 5 judgment values are assigned to ``long press'', and 10 judgment values are assigned to ``long press''.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 11-46(E), in the button preview pattern determination table D used when the gaming state is "time saving state B", when the variable display result is "jackpot", "non- 90 determination values are assigned to "Execution" and 10 determination values are assigned to "Blow". Further, in the case where the variable display result is "out of reach", 95 determination values are assigned to "non-execution" and 5 determination values are assigned to "one hit". Furthermore, in the case where the variable display result is "miss" when the number of pending memories is "0", 100 determination values are assigned to "non-execution".

In this way, when comparing button announcements in three gaming states other than the normal state, the execution rate is set to be lower in the order of variable probability state, time saving state A, and time saving state B (execution ratio: variable probability state >Time-saving state A>Time-saving state B).

In particular, in the case of time saving state B, if the variable display result is "miss" when the number of pending memories is "0", the non-reach or SP reach fluctuation pattern is determined, but if the execution rate of reach notice is low and , even if the reach notification is executed, the button notification will not be executed.

In addition, in this embodiment, when the variable display result is "miss" when the number of pending memories is "0" in the time saving state B, even if the reach notice is executed, the button notice is not executed. , the present invention is not limited to this, and the execution rate of the button notice is lower than the execution rate of the button notice when the variable display result is ``miss'' when the number of pending memories is ``0'' in the variable probability state or time saving state A. The button notification may be executable.

In addition, in the time saving state B, when the number of pending memories is other than "0" and the variable display result is "miss", the button notice is executed at a rate of 5% in the reach notice. The present invention is not limited to this, and the button preview may not be executed when the variable display result is "miss" regardless of the number of pending memories.

In addition, in the case of a jackpot or a hit that is out of reach, a "one-hit" pattern may be executed that prompts the player to perform a single operation, but the execution rate is extremely low, and the player is not required to perform an operation for a predetermined operation validity period. The "repeat hit" and "long press" operations that encourage the player, that is, the "repeat hit" and "long press" operations that are more cumbersome than the "single hit" operation that prompts the player to perform a single operation, are not encouraged.

Returning to FIG. 11-44, if it is determined in step 069SGS279A that execution of the reach notice has not been decided (step 069SGS279A; No), or after executing the button notice pattern determination process in step 069SGS279C, the production control CPU 120: Character preview pattern determination processing is executed (step 069SGS280). In the character preview pattern determination process, a random number (0 to 99) for character preview pattern determination is extracted, and as shown in FIGS. 11-47 (A) to (D), character preview pattern determination table A corresponding to the game state is extracted. ~D is used to determine the character preview pattern.

In the character preview pattern determination tables A to D, as shown in Figures 11-47 (A) to (D), "Non-execution", "Speech A (reach?)", "Speech B (may be reach!!)" For each pattern of ``, when the variable display result is ``Jackpot'' and ``Lose,'' the different judgment values are the number of judgment values shown in Figures 11-47 (A) to (D). As such, it is assigned.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11-47(A), in the character preview pattern determination table A used when the gaming state is "normal state", when the variable display result is "jackpot", 20 determination values are assigned to "non-execution," 30 determination values are assigned to "line A," and 50 determination values are assigned to "line B." In addition, when the variable display result is "miss", 70 judgment values are assigned to "not executed", 20 judgment values are assigned to "line A", and 20 judgment values are assigned to "line B". Ten judgment values are assigned to.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 11-47(B), in the character preview pattern determination table B used when the gaming state is "probable variable state", when the variable display result is "jackpot", "non-execution ”, 30 determination values are assigned to “Speech A”, and 50 determination values are assigned to “Speech B”. In addition, when the variable display result is "miss", 70 judgment values are assigned to "not executed", 20 judgment values are assigned to "line A", and 20 judgment values are assigned to "line B". Ten judgment values are assigned to.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 11-47(C), in the character preview pattern determination table C used when the gaming state is "time saving state A", when the variable display result is "jackpot", "non- 20 determination values are assigned to "Execution", 30 determination values are assigned to "Speech A", and 50 determination values are assigned to "Speech B". In addition, when the variable display result is "miss", 80 judgment values are assigned to "not executed", 10 judgment values are assigned to "line A", and 10 judgment values are assigned to "line B". Ten judgment values are assigned to.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 11-47 (D), in the character preview pattern determination table D used when the gaming state is "time saving state B", when the variable display result is "jackpot", "non- 90 determination values are assigned to "Execution", and 10 determination values are assigned to "Speech B". Further, when the variable display result is "miss", 95 determination values are assigned to "non-execution" and 5 determination values are assigned to "line A". Further, in the case where the variable display result is "miss" when the number of pending memories is "0", 100 determination values are assigned to "non-execution".

In this way, when character announcements are compared in three game states other than the normal state, the execution rate is set to be lower in the order of variable probability state, time saving state A, and time saving state B (execution ratio: probability variable state >Time-saving state A>Time-saving state B).

In particular, in the case of time saving state B, if the variable display result is "miss" when the number of retained memories is "0", the non-reach or SP reach variation pattern is determined, but in the variable display of any variation pattern. Character previews are never executed.

In addition, in this embodiment, when the variable display result is "miss" when the number of reserved memories is "0" in the time saving state B, the character preview is not executed, but the present invention is limited to this. Even if it is possible to execute character previews at a lower rate than the execution rate of character previews when the variable display result is "miss" when the number of reserved memories is "0" in the variable probability state or time saving state A. good.

Further, in the time saving state B, when the number of reserved memories is other than "0" and the variable display result is "miss", the character preview is executed at a rate of 5%. However, the present invention is limited to this. Instead, the character preview may not be executed if the variable display result is "miss" regardless of the number of reserved memories.

Returning to FIG. 11-44, after executing the character preview pattern determination process in step 069SGS280, the performance control CPU 120 determines whether the fluctuation pattern stored in the fluctuation pattern designation command storage area is a super reach fluctuation pattern. Determination is made (step 069SGS281A). If the variation pattern is not a super reach variation pattern, that is, if it is a non-reach variation pattern (step 069SGS281A; No), the process proceeds to step 069SGS282. If the variation pattern is a super reach variation pattern (step 069SGS281A; Yes), a movable body motion pattern determination process is executed (step 069SGS281B).

In the movable body motion pattern determination process, a random number (0 to 99) for determining a movable body motion pattern is extracted, and as shown in FIGS. 11-48 (A) to (D), a movable body motion pattern corresponding to the game state is A movable body motion pattern is determined using determination tables A to D.

In the movable body movement pattern determination tables A to D, as shown in FIGS. 11-48 (A) to (D), the movable body advance notice is not executed and the movable body 32 is dropped by the movable body performance (decision performance). "Pattern A-1" for the jackpot, the movable object notice is vibration (small), "Pattern A-2" for the jackpot where the movable object 32 falls with the moving object effect, the movable object notice is vibration (large), "Pattern A-3" is for a jackpot in which the movable body 32 is dropped in a movable body performance, and "Pattern B-1" is for a loss in which the movable body 32 is not dropped in a movable body performance in the decisive performance when the movable body notice is not executed. , "Pattern B-2" for failures in which the movable body notice is vibration (small) and the movable body 32 does not fall with the movable body performance, the movable body notice is vibration (large), and the movable body 32 is dropped with the movable body performance For each pattern of "Pattern B-3" for a loss without letting the player win, different judgment values are shown in Figures 11-48 (A) to ( The determination values are allocated to the number of determination values shown in D).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11-48 (A), in the movable body movement pattern determination table A used when the gaming state is "normal state", when the variable display result is "jackpot", , 10 judgment values are assigned to "Pattern A-1", 20 judgment values are assigned to "Pattern A-2", and 70 judgment values are assigned to "Pattern A-3". A value is assigned. In addition, when the variable display result is "miss", 70 judgment values are assigned to "pattern B-1", 20 judgment values are assigned to "pattern B-2", Ten determination values are assigned to "pattern B-3".

In addition, as shown in FIG. 11-48(B), in the movable body movement pattern determination table B used when the gaming state is "probable variable state", when the variable display result is "jackpot", "pattern 20 judgment values are assigned to "Pattern A-1", 10 judgment values are assigned to "Pattern A-2", and 70 judgment values are assigned to "Pattern A-3". It is being In addition, when the variable display result is "miss", 70 judgment values are assigned to "pattern B-1", 20 judgment values are assigned to "pattern B-2", Ten determination values are assigned to "pattern B-3".

In addition, as shown in FIG. 11-48(C), in the movable body movement pattern determination table C used when the gaming state is "time saving state A", when the variable display result is "jackpot", " 10 judgment values are assigned to "Pattern A-1", 10 judgment values are assigned to "Pattern A-2", and 80 judgment values are assigned to "Pattern A-3". Assigned. In addition, when the variable display result is "miss", 80 judgment values are assigned to "pattern B-1", 10 judgment values are assigned to "pattern B-2", Ten determination values are assigned to "pattern B-3".

In addition, as shown in FIG. 11-48 (D), in the movable body movement pattern determination table D used when the gaming state is "time saving state B", when the variable display result is "jackpot", " 90 judgment values are assigned to "Pattern A-1", 5 judgment values are assigned to "Pattern A-2", and 5 judgment values are assigned to "Pattern A-3". Assigned. Furthermore, when the variable display result is "miss", 100 determination values are assigned to "pattern B-1".

In this way, when comparing the movable body movement patterns when the variable display result is a jackpot in three game states excluding the normal state, "Pattern A--" in which both the movable body notice and the movable body presentation are executed. The execution rate of "Pattern A-2" and "Pattern A-3" is higher in the variable probability state and the time-saving state A than in the time-saving state B. On the other hand, the execution rate of "pattern A-1" in which the movable object preview is not executed and only the movable object effect is executed is higher in the time saving state B than in the variable probability state and the time saving state A.

In addition, when comparing the movable body movement patterns when the variable display result is a failure in three game states excluding the normal state, "Pattern B-2" in which only the movable body notice is executed, and "Pattern B-3" '' is higher in variable probability state and time-saving state A than in time-saving state B (non-execution).

That is, in the case of time saving state B, the execution rate of movable body notices is lower than in the variable probability state and time saving state A (execution rate of movable body notices: variable probability state > time saving state A > time saving state B).

In addition, in this embodiment, when the variable display of the super reach jackpot fluctuation pattern is determined in the time saving state B, "pattern A-1" is executed in which the movable object notice is not executed and only the movable object presentation is executed. Although the ratio is 90%, the present invention is not limited to this, and "Pattern A-1" is used when the variable display of the super reach jackpot fluctuation pattern is determined in the variable probability state or time saving state A. The execution rate may be 90% or less as long as it is higher than the execution rate. Further, in the time saving state B, when the variable display of the super reach jackpot variation pattern is determined, the execution rate may be 100%.

Returning to FIG. 11-44, if it is determined in step 069SGS281A that the variation pattern is not a super reach variation pattern, that is, it is a non-reach variation pattern (step 069SGS281A; No), the production control CPU 120 determines the movable body notice pattern. The process is executed (step 069SGS282). In the movable body notice pattern determination process, a random number (0 to 99) for determining a movable body notice pattern is extracted, and as shown in FIGS. 11-49 (A) to (D), a movable body notice pattern corresponding to the game state is extracted. A movable body notice pattern is determined using determination tables A to D.

In the movable body notice pattern determination tables A to D, as shown in Figures 11-49 (A) to (D), the patterns of "non-execution", "vibration (small)", and "vibration (large)" are determined respectively. , different judgment values are assigned to cases where the variable display result is a "jackpot" and a "miss", respectively, so that the numbers of judgment values shown in Figures 11-49 (A) to (D) are obtained. ing.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11-49(A), in the movable object notice pattern determination table A used when the gaming state is "normal state", when the variable display result is "jackpot", , 10 judgment values are assigned to "non-execution", 30 judgment values are assigned to "vibration (small)", and 60 judgment values are assigned to "vibration (large)". Assigned. In addition, when the variable display result is "Off", 60 judgment values are assigned to "Non-execution", 30 judgment values are assigned to "Vibration (small)", and 30 judgment values are assigned to "Vibration (small)". (Large)” are assigned 10 judgment values.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 11-49 (B), in the movable object notice pattern determination table B used when the gaming state is "probable variable state", when the variable display result is "jackpot", "non-probable" 10 judgment values are assigned to "Execution", 30 judgment values are assigned to "Vibration (small)", and 60 judgment values are assigned to "Vibration (large)". There is. In addition, when the variable display result is "Off", 60 judgment values are assigned to "Non-execution", 30 judgment values are assigned to "Vibration (small)", and 30 judgment values are assigned to "Vibration (small)". (Large)” are assigned 10 judgment values.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 11-49(C), in the movable object notice pattern determination table C used when the gaming state is "time saving state A", when the variable display result is "jackpot", " 10 judgment values are assigned to ``non-execution'', 30 judgment values are assigned to ``vibration (small)'', and 60 judgment values are allocated to ``vibration (large)''. ing. In addition, when the variable display result is "Off", 70 judgment values are assigned to "Non-execution", 20 judgment values are assigned to "Vibration (small)", and 20 judgment values are assigned to "Vibration (small)". (Large)” are assigned 10 judgment values.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 11-49 (D), in the movable object notice pattern determination table D used when the gaming state is "time saving state B", when the variable display result is "jackpot", super Since only the reach variation pattern is determined, no determination value is assigned to "non-execution," "vibration (small)," and "vibration (large)." In addition, if a non-reach variation pattern is determined when the variable display result is "miss" when the number of pending memories is "0", 100 judgment values are assigned to "non-execution". There is.

In this way, when comparing the three game states excluding the normal state, the movable object notice is set so that the execution rate becomes lower in the order of variable probability state, time saving state A, and time saving state B (execution ratio: probability variable). State>Time-saving state A>Time-saving state B).

In particular, in the case of time saving state B, if a non-reach variation pattern is determined, the movable object notice will not be executed, even when the number of reserved memories is "0".

In this embodiment, when the variable display result is "miss" when the number of reserved memories is "0" in the time saving state B, the movable object notice is not executed. The movable object notice is executed at a lower rate than the execution rate of the movable object notice when the variable display result is "miss" when the number of pending memories is "0" in the variable probability state or time saving state A, but is not limited to this. It may be possible.

Further, although the movable object notice is not executed when the variable display result is "miss" when the number of reserved memories is other than "0" in time saving state B, the present invention is not limited to this. However, if the variable display result is "miss" when the number of pending memories is other than "0", the movable object preview may be executed.

Furthermore, if execution of any of the effect patterns is determined in the above-described button notice pattern determination process, character notice pattern determination process, or movable body notice pattern determination process, the period until the start of the notice is set in the various notice start waiting timers. , the corresponding notice is started at the timing when the various notice start waiting timers are timed up.

Returning to FIG. 11-44, if the variation pattern is a shortening non-reach variation pattern or a super shortening non-reach variation pattern in step 069SGS277, if the moving body movement pattern determination process in step 069SGS281B is executed, the moving body advance notice pattern determination in step 069SGS282 When the process is executed, the effect control CPU 120 selects the effect control pattern (process table) according to the variation pattern designation command in step 069SGS283. Then, the process timer for process data 1 of the selected process table is started (step 069SGS284).

The process table includes 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, and data for controlling the sound output from the speakers 8L and 8R. Sound control execution data, operation part control execution data for controlling the operation of the push button 31B and stick controller 31A, etc. are arranged in chronological order in correspondence with each process data n (numbers 1 to N). There is.

Next, the performance control CPU 120 controls the performance device (image display as a performance component) 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). The device 5, various lamps as performance parts, speakers 8L and 8R as performance parts, and operation units (push button 31B, stick controller 31A, etc.) are controlled (step 069SGS285). For example, a command is output to the display control unit 123 in order to display an image according to the variation pattern on the image display device 5. Further, in order to control the lighting/extinguishing of various lamps, a control signal (lamp control execution data) is output to the lamp control board 14. Furthermore, 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.

In this embodiment, the performance control CPU 120 performs control so that the decorative symbols are displayed variably according to the variation patterns that correspond one-to-one to the variation pattern designation commands. The variation pattern to be used may be selected from a plurality of types of variation patterns corresponding to the command.

Then, a value corresponding to the variable display time specified by the variable pattern designation command is set in the variable display time timer (step 069SGS286). Also, a predetermined time is set in the variable display control timer (step 069SGS287). Note that the predetermined time is, for example, 30 ms, and the performance control CPU 120 writes image data indicating the display state of the decorative symbol on the left center right to the VRAM every time the predetermined time elapses, and the display control unit 123 writes the image data to the VRAM. A signal corresponding to the image data obtained is output to the image display device 5, and the image display device 5 displays an image corresponding to the signal, thereby achieving variable display (fluctuation) of the decorative pattern. Next, the value of the production control process flag is set to a value corresponding to the production process during variable display (step S172) (step 069SGS288), and the process ends.

(Variable display processing)
Next, FIG. 11-45 is a flowchart showing the variable display performance process (step S172) in the performance control process process. In the variable display performance process, the performance control CPU 120 decreases each value of the process timer, variable display time timer, and variable display control timer by 1 (step 069SGS301, step 069SGS302, step 069SGS303). In addition, the performance control CPU 120 has various performance start wait timers set (it has been decided to perform a preview performance, etc.), or the preview performance execution flag is on (execution of a preview performance, etc.). (in step 069SGS304; Y), various production processes are executed (step 069SGS305). If both the performance start wait timer and the preview performance execution flag are off, the process proceeds to step 069SGS306 without executing the performance process of step 069SGS305.

In step 069SGS306, the performance control CPU 120 checks whether the process timer has timed out. If the process timer has timed out, the process data is switched (step 069SGS307). That is, the process timer is restarted by setting the next set process timer setting value in the process table to the process timer (step 069SGS308). Further, the control state for the production device (production component) is changed based on the display control execution data, lamp control execution data, sound control execution data, operation unit control data, etc. set next (step 069SGS309a). On the other hand, if the process timer has not timed out, the production device (for production (step 069SGS309b).

Next, it is checked whether the variable display control timer has timed out (step 069SGS310). If the variable display control timer has timed out (step 069SGS310; Y), the production control CPU 120 displays the next display screen of the left-center right decorative pattern (displayed after 30 ms has elapsed from the previous display switching point of the decorative pattern). The image data of the screen to be displayed) is created and written into a predetermined area of the VRAM (step 069SGS311). In this way, variable display control of decorative patterns is realized in the image display device 5. The display control unit 123 sends to the image display device 5 a signal based on data obtained by superimposing image data of a predetermined area such as a set background image and image data based on display control execution data set in the process table. Output. In this way, on the image display device 5, the background image, character image, and decorative pattern in the variation of the decorative pattern are displayed. Also, a predetermined value is reset to the variable display control timer (step 069SGS312).

Furthermore, if the variable display control timer has not timed out (step 069SGS310; N), after executing step 069SGS312, the production control CPU 120 checks whether the variable display time timer has timed out (step 069SGS313). . If the variable display time timer has not timed out (step 069SGS313; No), it is determined whether the confirmation command reception flag indicating that the symbol confirmation designation command has been received is in the on state (step 069SGS314). If the confirmed command reception flag is not on (step 069SGS314; No), the process ends.

If the variable display time timer has timed out in step 069SGS313 (step 069SGS313; Yes), or if the confirmed command reception flag is on in step 069SGS314 (step 069SGS314; Yes), the right-handed LED lighting start command is received. It is determined whether the flag is on (step 069SGS315). If the right-handed player LED lighting start command reception flag is in the on state (step 069SGS315; Yes), the right-handed player LED 069SG031 starts lighting up, and right-handed player notification images 069SG400, 069SG401, etc. are displayed to start right-handed player notification. After that (step 069SGS316), the value of the production control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the special figure waiting process (step S173) (step 069SGS319), and the process ends.

If the right-handed LED lighting start command reception flag is not on (step 069SGS315; No), it is determined whether the right-handed LED lighting end command reception flag is on (step 069SGS317). If the right-handed player LED lighting end command reception flag is in the ON state (step 069SGS317; Yes), the right-handed player LED 069SG031 is turned off, the right-handed player notification image 069SG400, etc. is hidden, and the right-handed player notification is ended ( Step 069SGS318), the value of the production control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the special figure waiting process (step S173) (step 069SGS319), and the process ends. In addition, if the right hit LED lighting end command reception flag is not in the on state (step 069SGS317; No), the value of the production control process flag is updated to the value corresponding to the special figure per waiting process (step S173) (step 069SGS319). , the process ends.

Although not shown in detail, after the processes from step 069SGS315 to step 069SGS318 are executed, the production control process flag is set after the symbol confirmation period specified from the symbol confirmation designation command based on the confirmation command reception flag has elapsed. The value of is updated to a value corresponding to the special figure waiting process (step S173).

In addition, even if the variable display time timer has not timed out, the control will shift to stop the fluctuation when the symbol confirmation designation command is received, so for example, a fluctuation pattern that shows a long fluctuation time due to noise between boards, etc. Even when a designated command is received, the variable display of the decorative symbol can be ended when the regular variable display time has elapsed (when the variable display of the special symbol ends).

Incidentally, process data during variable display of the decorative pattern is set in the process table used for variable display control of the decorative pattern. In other words, the sum of the process timer setting values of process data 1 to n in the process table corresponds to the variable display time of the decorative pattern. Therefore, when the process timer for the last process data n times out in the process of step 069SGS306, there is no process data to be switched (display control execution data, lamp control execution data, etc.), and the variable display control of decorative patterns based on the process table is performed. ends.

(Examples of various operations depending on gaming status)
Next, various operation examples for each of the three gaming states, time-saving state B, variable probability state, and time-saving state A, will be explained based on FIG. 11-50. 11-50, (A) is a diagram showing an example of fluctuating operation for each gaming state, (B) is a diagram showing an example of performance operation for each gaming state, and (C) is a diagram for explaining the characteristics of time-saving state B. It is a diagram.

First, as shown in Figure 11-50 (A), the contents of each item "A1" to "A5" in the three gaming states of "time saving state B", "probable variable state", and "time saving state A" will be compared. .

<Item A1>
Regarding the number of deviation fluctuation patterns that can be selected by the CPU 103, in the "time saving state B", as shown in FIGS. "Reach" and "SP Reach D" are "2", and in "Probability Variable State", as shown in Figure 11-6 (A) (B), when the number of reserved memories is 1 to 3, the maximum is " There are 4 items: "shortened non-reach A", "non-reach A", "SP reach C", and "SP reach D", and in "time saving state A", as shown in Figure 11-7 (A) (B) As shown, when the number of pending memories is 1 to 3, the maximum is ``3'', ``shortened non-reach'', ``non-reach'', and ``SP reach E''.

In other words, when the variable display result is "miss", the number of variable display patterns that can be determined by the CPU 103 in "time-saving state B" (for example, 2) is the same as the number of variable display patterns that can be determined in "time-saving state A". number (for example, 3) and also smaller than the number (for example, 4) of outlier fluctuation patterns that can be determined in the "probable variable state".

The number of outlier fluctuation patterns that can be determined by the CPU 103 increases in the order of time-saving state B, time-saving state A, and variable probability state, or the number of variation patterns that can be determined by the CPU 103 increases in the order of time-saving state B, time-saving state A, and variable-probability state, or in the case of time-saving state B, the number of deviation patterns that can be determined by the CPU 103 increases in the order of time-saving state B, time-saving state A, and probability-variable state. As long as it is small, the above number can be changed in various ways.

<Item A2>
Regarding the average time of the variable display time of the deviation variation pattern determined by the CPU 103, in "time saving state B", as shown in FIGS. 11-8 (A) and (B), the deviation pattern that can be determined is The average time of the variable display time of the fluctuation pattern for The average time of the variable display time of the variation pattern for possible deviations is approximately 2.205 seconds {((1.5s×97)+(25s×3))/100=2.205}. Here, assuming that the first variable display after time saving state B starts, the number of pending memories is 0, and the number of pending memories for variable displays from 2 to 1100 times is 1 to 3, it is possible to determine in time saving state B. The average time of the variable display time of the variation pattern for deviation is approximately 2.2 seconds {(7.54+(2.205×1099))/1100=2.20985}.

In the "probable variable state", as shown in Figures 11-6 (A) and (B), the average time of the variable display time of the variable pattern for a loss that can be determined when the number of pending memories is 0 is approximately 8.2 seconds. {((7s×95)+(40s×2)+(25s×3))÷100=8.2}, variable display time of fluctuation pattern for loss that can be determined when the number of pending memories is 1 to 3 The average time is about 4.8 seconds {((3s×85)+(7s×10)+(40s×2)+(25s×3))÷100=4.8}. Here, assuming that the first variable display after the definite variable state starts, the number of pending memories is 0, and the number of pending memories for the 2nd to 110th variable display is 1 to 3, then the number of pending memories that can be determined in the variable state is The average time of the variable display time of the variation pattern is approximately 4.83 seconds {(8.2+(4.8×109))÷110=4.83}.

In "time saving state A", as shown in Figures 11-7 (A) and (B), the average time of the variable display time of the variation pattern for loss that can be determined when the number of pending memories is 0 is approximately 9.15. seconds {((7s x 95) + (50s x 5)) ÷ 100 = 9.15}, when the number of pending memories is 1 to 3, the average time of the variable display time of the variation pattern for loss that can be determined is approximately 5.55 seconds {((3s×90)+(7s×5)+(50s×5))÷100=5.55}. Here, assuming that time saving state A is started and the first variable display has a pending memory number of 0, and the variable display of 2 to 110 times has a pending memory number of 1 to 3, it is possible to determine in time saving state A. The average time of the variable display time of the variation pattern for failure is approximately 5.58 seconds {(9.15+(5.55×109))/110=5.58}.

In other words, the average time (for example, about 2.2 seconds) of the variable display time of the losing variation pattern that the CPU 103 determines in "time saving state B" when the variable display result is "missing" is the same as that in "time saving state A". It is shorter than the average time of the variable display time (for example, about 5.58 seconds) of the error variation pattern to be determined, and the average time of the variable display time of the error variation pattern to be determined in the "probable variation state" (for example, about 4.83 seconds). seconds).

In addition, the average time (for example, about 7.54 seconds) of the variable display time of the fluctuation pattern for failure that can be determined when the number of pending memories is 0 in "time saving state B" is It is shorter than the average time (for example, about 9.15 seconds) of the variable display time of the outlier fluctuation pattern determined when the number is 0, and the outlier fluctuation pattern is determined when the number of retained memories is 0 in the "probable variable state". (for example, about 8.2 seconds).

In addition, the average time (for example, about 2.205 seconds) of the variable display time of the variation pattern for failure that can be determined when the number of pending memories is 1 to 3 in "Time saving state B" is different from that in "Time saving state A". It is shorter than the average time of variable display time (for example, about 5.55 seconds) of the error variation pattern to be determined, and the average time of the variable display time of the error variation pattern to be determined in the "probable variation state" (for example, about 4.8 seconds). seconds).

According to items (A1) and (A2), in the time saving state B which is controlled through a specific number of variable displays, the control is made to the jackpot gaming state in consideration of the long period in which the jackpot gaming state is not controlled. A variable display in which the variable display is not determined provides a preferable time-saving state B because there are fewer types of variation patterns and the average time of the variable display time is shortened, so that the digesting speed of the variable display is higher than in the variable probability state or time-saving state A. can do.

In addition, the average time of the variable display time of the deviation variation pattern becomes longer in the order of time saving state B, definite variable state, and time saving state A, or in the case of time saving state B, it becomes longer than at least one of time saving state A and definite variable state. As long as it is shorter, the above-mentioned time can be changed in various ways.

<Item A3>
Regarding the number of jackpot fluctuation patterns that can be selected by the CPU 103, in "time saving state B", as shown in Figure 11-8 (C), when the number of pending memories is 0 to 3, ", and in the "probable variable state", as shown in Figure 11-6 (C), when the number of pending memories is 0 to 3, "SP non-via", "SP reach C", "SP reach D ", and in "time saving state A", as shown in Figure 11-7 (C), when the number of pending memories is 0 to 3, "SP non-via" and "SP reach E ” is “2 pieces”.

In other words, when the variable display result is a "jackpot", the number of jackpot fluctuation patterns (for example, 1) that the CPU 103 can determine in "time saving state B" is the same as the number of variable display patterns that can be determined in "time saving state A". number (for example, two), and also smaller than the number (for example, three) of outlier fluctuation patterns that can be determined in the "probable variable state".

The number of jackpot fluctuation patterns that can be determined by the CPU 103 increases in the order of time saving state B, time saving state A, and variable probability state, or the number of jackpot fluctuation patterns that can be determined by the CPU 103 increases in the order of time saving state B, time saving state A, and probability variable state, or in the case of time saving state B, the number increases in the order of time saving state B, time saving state A, and probability variable state. As long as it is small, the above number can be changed in various ways.

<Item A4>
Regarding the average time of the variable display time of the jackpot fluctuation pattern determined by the CPU 103, in "time saving state B", as shown in FIG. The average time of the variable display time of the variation pattern is approximately 40 seconds.

In the "probable variable state", as shown in Figure 11-6 (C), the average time of the variable display time of the variable pattern for the jackpot that can be determined when the number of pending memories is 0 to 3 is approximately 51.1 seconds { ((22s x 5) + (55s x 80) + (40s x 15)) ÷ 100 = 51.1}, so the average time of the variable display time of the variable pattern for a jackpot that can be determined in a variable probability state is approximately It becomes 51.1 seconds.

In "time saving state A", as shown in Figure 11-7 (C), the average time of the variable display time of the variable pattern for the jackpot that can be determined when the number of pending memories is 0 to 3 is approximately 62.8 seconds. {((22s×5)+(55s×95))÷100=62.85}.

In other words, when the variable display result is a "jackpot", the average time (for example, about 40 seconds) of the variable display time of the jackpot fluctuation pattern that the CPU 103 determines in "time saving state B" is determined in "time saving state A". It is shorter than the average time of the variable display time of the jackpot fluctuation pattern (for example, about 62.8 seconds), and the average time of the variable display time of the jackpot fluctuation pattern determined in the "probability change state" (for example, about 51.1 seconds) less than.

According to items (A3) and (A4), in the time saving state B which is controlled through a specific number of variable displays, the jackpot gaming state is controlled in consideration of the fact that the period in which the jackpot gaming state is not controlled continues for a long time. In the case of a variable display in which the variable display is determined, there are fewer types of variation patterns and the average time of the variable display time is shortened, so that the digesting speed of the variable display is higher than in the variable probability state or the time-saving state A. Therefore, a suitable time-saving state B is selected. can be provided.

In addition, the average time of the variable display time of the jackpot fluctuation pattern is longer in the order of time saving state B, probability variable state, and time saving state A, or in the case of time saving state B, it is longer than at least one of time saving state A and probability variable state. As long as it is shorter, the above-mentioned time can be changed in various ways.

<Item A5>
Regarding the determination ratio of the non-reach out-of-reach fluctuation pattern determined by the CPU 103, in "time saving state B", as shown in FIGS. In the "probable variable state", as shown in FIGS. 11-6(A) and (B), when the number of pending memories is 0, 1 to 3, it is 80%, and in the "time saving state A", as shown in FIG. -7 As shown in (A) and (B), when the number of reserved memories is 0, 1 to 3, it is 70%.

In other words, when the variable display result is "miss" in "time saving state B", the percentage (e.g. 97%) of the "non-reach deviation variation pattern" being determined by the CPU 103 is the same as the variable display result in "time saving state A". is higher than the percentage (for example, 95%) in which the "non-reach deviation variation pattern" is determined by the CPU 103 when the variable display result is "off" in the "probability change state", and the CPU 103 is higher than the percentage (for example, 95%) at which the "non-reach variation pattern" is determined.

According to item (A5), in the time saving state B which is controlled through a specific number of variable displays, it is not decided to control to the jackpot gaming state in consideration of the long period in which the jackpot gaming state is not controlled. In the variable display, by setting the mode of the variable display to the ready-to-reach mode, it is less likely to be provoked by mischief, so that a suitable time-saving state B can be provided.

In addition, in this embodiment, when the variable display result is "miss", the rate at which the "non-reach miss variation pattern" is determined by the CPU 103 is 97% in time saving state B, and 97% in both definite variable state and time saving state A. Although 95% is exemplified in the order of time-saving state B, variable probability state, and time-saving state A, the present invention is not limited to this. , 95%) and time-saving state A (for example, 94%), or if time-saving state B is higher than at least one of time-saving state A and variable probability state, the above-mentioned The proportions can vary.

In addition, in this embodiment, when the variable display result is "miss" in "time saving state B", the proportion of "non-reach deviation variation pattern" determined by the CPU 103 is 97%; however, The present invention is not limited to this, but when the variable display result is "miss" in "time saving state B", the percentage of the "non-reach miss variation pattern" determined by the CPU 103 is 100%, that is, " If the variable display result is "miss" in "time saving state B", the reach variation pattern may not be determined.

In addition, when the variable display result is "miss", the CPU 103 determines a loss variation pattern that can be determined in "time-saving state B" (for example, "non-reach A"), and a loss variation pattern that can be determined in "time-saving state A" and "probable variable state". Possible deviation variation patterns (for example, "non-reach A") are common, so it is possible to reduce development costs and program capacity.

In addition, when the variable display result is a "jackpot", the CPU 103 determines a losing fluctuation pattern (for example, "SP reach D") that can be determined in the "time saving state B" and a losing fluctuation pattern that can be determined in the "probable variable state" (for example, "SP reach D"). For example, "SP Reach D") is common, so it is possible to reduce development costs and program capacity.

Next, as shown in Figure 11-50 (B), we compared the contents of each item "B1" to "B10" in the three gaming states: "Time saving state B", "Probable variable state", and "Time saving state A". do.

<Item B1>
Regarding the execution rate of "movable object notice" and "character notice" as jackpot suggestion effects in the variable display of the loss fluctuation pattern determined when the number of pending memories is 0, in "time saving state B", Figure 11-49 ( As shown in D), the execution rate of "movable object notice" is 0% (not executed), and as shown in Figure 11-47 (D), the execution rate of "character notice" is 0% (not executed). Yes, in the "probable variable state", as shown in Figure 11-49 (B), the execution rate of "movable object notice" is 40%, and as shown in Figure 11-47 (B), the execution rate of "character notice" is 40%. The ratio is 30%, and in "time saving state A", as shown in Figure 11-49 (C), the execution ratio of "movable object notice" is 30%, as shown in Figure 11-47 (C), The execution rate of "character preview" is 20%.

In other words, when the variable display is executed in the error fluctuation pattern that is determined when the number of pending memories is 0 in "time saving state A", and when the number of pending memories is 0 in the "probable variable state" When a variable display is executed in a variable pattern, a suggestive effect such as a "movable body notice" or "character notice" is executed in the variable display, while the number of reserved memories is 0 in "time saving state B". When a variable display is executed using the deviation variation pattern determined in , no suggestive effects such as "movable object notice" or "character notice" are executed in the variable display.

According to item (B1), in time-saving state B controlled through a specific number of variable displays, it can be determined when the number of pending memories is 0, taking into consideration the long period in which the jackpot gaming state is not controlled. In the variable display of a variable pattern (for example, "non-reach" or "SP reach" other than shortened non-reach), it is not provoked by movable object notices or character notices, so it provides a suitable time-saving state B. be able to.

To explain in detail, when the control of the probability variable state, time saving state A, and time saving state B is started, the pending memory is stored in the first pending memory because the left-handed game was played in the normal state until then. Even if there is, it is possible that there is no pending memory in the second pending memory. In other words, when the variable probability state or the time saving state A is started for the first time, or when the control of the time saving state B is started by executing the variable display 900 times, it takes time to store the pending memory in the second pending memory. In order to earn money, a losing fluctuation pattern that can be determined when the number of retained memories is 0 is a losing fluctuation pattern that has a longer variable display time than a shortened non-reaching pattern (for example, a non-reaching pattern with a fluctuation time of 7 seconds or a fluctuation time of 25 seconds). 40 seconds SP reach, etc.) are determined at a high rate. Then, when a deviation variation pattern with a longer variable display time than the shortened non-reach pattern is determined, suggestive performances such as "movable object preview" and "character preview" can be executed in the variable display.

However, when control in time-saving state B is started, it is highly likely that the player has executed various missed notices during the long gaming period, If a "Character Notice" or "Character Preview" is executed, it will cause trouble. Therefore, when a variable display is executed using a deviation variation pattern determined when the number of reserved memories is 0 in the time saving state B, "Character Notice" is executed. "Body preview" and "Character preview" are not implemented.

In this embodiment, when the variable display is executed in the error variation pattern determined when the number of reserved memories is 0 in the "time saving state B", "movable object notice" or " Although we have exemplified a form in which a suggestive effect such as "Character Notice" is not executed, for example, when a variable display is executed with a deviation variation pattern determined when the number of reserved memories is 0 in "Time Saving State B", the corresponding The execution rate of suggestive effects such as "movable object notice" and "character notice" in variable display is higher than that of suggestive effects such as "movable object notice" and "character notice" in "variable state" and "time saving state A". It is preferable to set it lower than the execution rate.

In addition, when the variable display is executed in the error variation pattern determined when the number of pending memories is 0, the rate at which suggestive effects such as "movable object notice" and "character notice" are executed is lower than that in time-saving state B. If the execution rate of "movable body notice" and "character notice" is lower than the execution rate of "movable body notice" and "character notice" in at least one of time saving state A and variable probability state, the above ratios may vary. It can be changed to

In addition, in time saving state B, if it is a losing fluctuation pattern, "movable object notice" or "character notice" will not be executed, and if it is a jackpot fluctuation pattern, "movable object notice" or "character notice" will be executed. You can do it like this. By doing so, in the time saving state B, interest can be increased by drawing attention to whether or not a suggestive effect such as a "movable body notice" or a "character notice" will be executed.

In addition, the suggestive effects that suggest that the game will be controlled into a jackpot gaming state include the ``reach notice'' and the It may also include a "button notice". By doing so, in the time saving state B, interest can be increased by drawing attention to whether or not the "reach notice" and "button notice" will be executed.

Also, based on the variable display results, the first suggestion performance (for example, dialogue A or vibration (small)) and the second suggestion performance, which has a higher rate of being controlled to a jackpot gaming state than when the first suggestion performance is executed, are determined. By being able to perform multiple types of suggestive performances (for example, dialogue B and vibration (large)), it is possible to perform multiple types of suggestive performances, including suggestive performances (for example, lines B and vibrations (large)), so that in time-saving state B, attention is drawn to whether or not the suggestive performances are executed. can be increased.

<Item B2>
Regarding the number of types of pre-read notices that can be determined by the performance control CPU 120 when the variable display result is incorrect, in "time saving state B", as shown in FIG. 11-42 (D), none of them are determined, so "0"'', and in the ``probability change state'', as shown in Figure 11-42 (B), there are 4 pieces: ``countdown notice'', ``pending change notice'', symbol chance notice'', and ``effect display notice''. Yes, and in the "time saving state A", as shown in FIG. 11-42 (C), there are "3": "pending change notice", "symbol chance notice", and "effect display notice".

In other words, the number of types of prefetched notices that can be determined by the production control CPU 120 (for example, 0) when the variable display result is wrong in "time saving state B" is the same as the number of types of prefetched notices that can be determined by the production control CPU 120 when the variable display result is wrong in "time saving state A". Pre-reading that can be determined by the performance control CPU 120 in a case where the number of types of pre-read notices that can be determined by the performance control CPU 120 in a certain case (for example, 3) and when the variable display result is off in the "probability change state" It is less than the number of types of notices (for example, 4).

In addition, in this embodiment, when the variable display result is wrong in "time saving state B", the number of types of pre-read notices that can be determined by the performance control CPU 120 is 0, but the present invention For example, the number of types of pre-read notices that can be determined by the performance control CPU 120 when the variable display result is wrong in "time saving state B" is "time saving state A" and "probable variable state". If the number of types of pre-read notices that can be determined by the performance control CPU 120 is smaller than the number of types of pre-read notices that can be determined when the variable display result is a failure in at least one of the above, one or more types of pre-read notices may be executable.

In addition, the number of types of pre-read notices that can be determined by the production control CPU 120 when the variable display result is incorrect in the "time saving state B" is variable display in at least one of the "time saving state A" and the "probability variable state". The above-mentioned number can be changed in various ways as long as it is smaller than the number of types of pre-read notices that can be determined by the performance control CPU 120 when the result is a failure.

<Item B3>
Regarding the execution rate of "pre-read notice" when the variable display result is negative, in "time saving state B", as shown in Figure 11-42 (D), it is "0%" because neither is executed; In "Status", as shown in Figure 11-42 (B), the total execution rate of "Countdown notice", "Pending change notice", "Symbol chance notice", and "Effect display notice" is "40%", In the "time saving state A", as shown in FIG. 11-42(C), the total execution ratio of "pending change notice", symbol chance notice" and "effect display notice" is "30%".

In other words, the execution rate (for example, 0%) of the pre-read notice when the variable display result is wrong in "time-saving state B" is the execution ratio of the look-ahead notice when the variable display result is wrong in "time-saving state A". (for example, 30%), and also lower than the execution rate (for example, 40%) of the pre-read preview when the variable display result is a failure in the "variable probability state".

According to items (B2) and (B3), in the time saving state B which is controlled through a specific number of variable displays, the control is made to the jackpot gaming state in consideration of the fact that the period in which the jackpot gaming state is not controlled continues for a long time. In the case of a variable display in which the pre-read notice effect is not determined, the development cost can be suppressed because the number of types of pre-read notice effects that can be determined is small, and since the user is less likely to be unnecessarily provoked by the pre-read notice effect, it is possible to provide a suitable time-saving state B. can.

In addition, in this embodiment, when the variable display result is wrong in "time saving state B", the execution rate of the pre-read notice is 0%, that is, the form in which the pre-read notice is not executed is exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the execution rate of the pre-read notice when the variable display result is wrong in "time saving state B" is the same as the variable display result in at least one of "time saving state A" and "probable variable state". The pre-read notification may be made executable if it is lower than the execution rate of the pre-read notification in the case of a failure.

In addition, the execution rate of the pre-read notice when the variable display result is wrong in "time-saving state B" is the same as the execution rate of the pre-read notice when the variable display result is wrong in at least one of "time-saving state A" and "probable variable state". The above ratio can be changed in various ways as long as it is lower than the execution ratio of the advance notice.

In addition, as a look-ahead notice performance pattern that can be commonly executed by the performance control CPU 120 in the time-saving state A, time-saving state B, and variable probability state, the first look-ahead notice performance pattern (for example, "pending change notice", "symbol chance notice" ", "blue" pattern of "effect display notice"), and a second lookahead notice performance pattern (for example, "on hold") that has a higher rate of being controlled to the advantageous state than when the first lookahead notice performance pattern is executed. "change notice", "symbol chance eye notice", "red" pattern of "effect display notice"), and the rate at which the first look-ahead notice performance pattern is executed in time saving state B (for example, 0%, Fig. 11 -43 (D)) is lower than the rate at which the first look-ahead preview performance pattern is executed in the time-saving state A and the variable probability state (for example, 10%, see Figure 11-43 (C)). In state B, the user is less likely to be mischievously provoked by the first look-ahead preview performance, so a suitable time-saving state B can be provided.

In addition, as a look-ahead notice performance pattern that can be commonly executed by the performance control CPU 120 in the time-saving state A, time-saving state B, and variable probability state, the first look-ahead notice performance pattern (for example, "pending change notice", "symbol chance notice" ", "blue" pattern of "effect display notice"), and a second lookahead notice performance pattern (for example, "on hold") that has a higher rate of being controlled to the advantageous state than when the first lookahead notice performance pattern is executed. "change notice", "symbol chance eye notice", "red" pattern of "effect display notice"), and the rate at which the second look-ahead notice performance pattern is executed in time saving state B (for example, 90%, Fig. 11 -43 (D)) is higher than the rate at which the second look-ahead preview performance pattern is executed in the time-saving state A and the variable probability state (for example, 50 to 70%, see Figure 11-43 (C)). In the time-saving state B, the second look-ahead preview effect is likely to be executed, so that a suitable time-saving state B can be provided.

In addition, the look-ahead notice performance pattern that can be executed by the performance control CPU 120 in the time-saving state A and the variable probability state and the look-ahead notice performance pattern that can be executed by the performance control CPU 120 in the time-saving state B are common (for example, "symbol chance eye" By not setting a prefetched preview performance pattern that can be determined only in the time saving state B, it is possible to reduce development costs and program capacity.

Further, the pre-reading notice presentation pattern that can be determined by the presentation control CPU 120 in the time-saving state B and the pre-reading notice presentation pattern that can be determined by the presentation-controlling CPU 120 in at least one of the time-saving state A and the variable probability state are common. By not setting a look-ahead preview performance pattern that can be determined only in the time saving state B (for example, "symbol chance notice"), it is possible to reduce development costs and program capacity.

Further, the pre-reading notice performance pattern that can be determined by the performance control CPU 120 in the time-saving state B and the pre-reading notice performance pattern that can be determined by the performance-controlling CPU 120 in both the time-saving state A and the variable probability state are common (for example, By not setting a look-ahead preview performance pattern that can be determined only in the time-saving state B, the development cost can be reduced and the program capacity can be reduced.

<Item B4>
As shown in Figure 11-46 (E), in "time saving state B", the execution rate of the "button notice" as a movement promotion effect that encourages the player's actions is "10%" in the case of a jackpot, and "10%" in the case of a miss. In the case of "probability change state", as shown in Figure 11-46 (C), it is "80%" in the case of a jackpot, "30%" in the case of a miss, and "time saving". In "Status A", as shown in FIG. 11-46(D), the percentage is "80%" in the case of a jackpot, and "20%" in the case of a loss. Note that these execution rates are the rates when "reach notice" is executed.

In other words, the execution rate of button announcements per 1 variable display in "time saving state B" (for example, 10% for jackpot, 5% for loss) is the same as the execution rate of button notices per 1 variable display in "time saving state A". It is lower than the ratio (e.g., 80% for a jackpot, 20% for a miss) and lower than the execution ratio of button announcements per variable display in the "probability change state" (e.g., 80% for a jackpot, 30% for a miss). low.

According to item (B4), in consideration of the fact that in the time-saving state B, which was controlled through a specific number of variable displays, there was a long period in which the jackpot gaming state was not controlled, the player was asked to press the push button in the variable display 1. Since the number of executions of the button notice, which is an operation promotion effect that prompts the operation of 31B, is small, a suitable time-saving state B can be provided.

Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the execution rate of button announcements per variable display in "time saving state B" is higher than the execution rate of button announcements per variable display in "time saving state A" and "variable probability state". Although the present invention is not limited to this, for example, the button preview may not be executed in the "time saving state B" (execution ratio 0%).

In addition, if the execution rate of button announcements per 1 variable display in "Time saving state B" is lower than the execution rate of button announcements per 1 variable display in "Time saving state A" or "Probable variable state", then the above ratio can be changed in various ways.

<Item B5>
In the button preview, there is a "single hit pattern" as a first action promotion effect that prompts the player to perform a single action, and a "sequential hit pattern, long hit pattern" as a second action promotion effect that encourages the player to perform a movement over a predetermined movement period. Regarding the execution ratio of the "push pattern", in the "time saving state B", as shown in Figure 11-46 (E), the execution ratio of the "one hit pattern" is "10%" in the case of a jackpot, and "10%" in the case of a miss. is "5%", and in the case of "repeated hit pattern, long press pattern", it is "0% (non-execution)" in the case of jackpot and miss.

In the "probability variable state", as shown in Figure 11-46 (C), the execution rate of the "one hit pattern" is "40%" in the case of a jackpot, "10%" on average in the case of a loss; In the case of "repeat hit pattern, long press pattern", the winning percentage is "40%" and the average winning percentage is "20%".

In "time saving state A", as shown in Figure 11-46 (D), the execution rate of the "one hit pattern" is "40%" in the case of a jackpot, and "7.5%" on average in the case of a loss. In the case of the "repeated hit pattern, long press pattern", the winning percentage is "40%" and the average winning percentage is "17.5%".

In other words, the performance control CPU 120 can decide to execute both the "one hit pattern" and the "repeated hit pattern, long press pattern" in the "variable probability state" and the "time saving state A", and in the "time saving state B". , it is possible to determine a "single hit pattern", but it does not determine whether to execute a "repeated hit pattern or long press pattern".

In addition, the execution rate of "repeat pattern, long press pattern" per variable display of 1 in "time saving state B" (for example, 0% for jackpots and misses) It is lower than the execution rate of "pattern, long press pattern" (for example, 40% for jackpot, 20% for miss), and the execution rate of "repeated hit pattern, long press pattern" per variable display of 1 in "time saving state A". (For example, 40% for a jackpot and 17.5% for a miss).

According to item (B5), in the time-saving state B, which is controlled through a specific number of variable displays, the player can push the A suitable time-saving state B can be provided because the player is less likely to be prompted to perform troublesome operations such as "repeat-hit pattern, long-press pattern" that requires continuous operation of the button 31B.

In addition, in this embodiment, the performance control CPU 120 is able to determine the "one hit pattern" in the "time saving state B", but does not determine the execution of the "repeated hit pattern, long press pattern". However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the determination ratio of the "one-hit pattern" in the "time-saving state B" is the "one-hit pattern" in at least one of the "time-saving state A" and the "variable probability state". If the determination rate is lower than the determined rate, the "one-hit pattern" may be made executable.

In addition, in the time saving state B, the percentage (for example, 10%) at which the "button notice" is executed by the performance control CPU 120 when the variable display result is a jackpot is the percentage (for example, 10%) that the "button notice" is executed by the performance control CPU 120 when the variable display result is a jackpot. By setting the rate higher than the percentage (for example, 5%) at which "button notices" are executed by the CPU 120, it is possible to draw attention to the fact that "button notices" are executed in time-saving state B, thereby increasing interest.

In addition, the production patterns of the "button notice" include a "one hit" pattern, and a "repeated hit" or "long press" pattern that has a higher rate of being controlled to a jackpot game state than when the "one hit" pattern is executed. The rate at which the "one hit" pattern is executed in time saving state B (e.g. 10%) is the same as the rate at which the "sequential hit" or "long press" pattern is executed in time saving state A or the probability change state (e.g. 40%). ), but even if the rate of execution of the "one hit" pattern in time saving state B is higher than the rate of execution of "repeat hit" or "long press" pattern in time saving state A or variable probability state. good. By doing so, when the movement promotion effect is executed in the time saving state B, it is often a "one-hit" pattern, so that the interest can be improved.

In addition, the period in which the "button notice" is executed in the time saving state A and the variable probability state and the period in which the "button notice" is executed in the time saving state B are common (for example, the period in which the "reach notice" is executed By making the execution period of the "button notice" common in the time saving state A, the variable probability state, and the time saving state B, development costs can be reduced.

In addition, before executing the "button notice", the performance control CPU 120 also performs operation promotion preparation performance (for example, although not particularly shown, before the operation valid period starts, the push button 31B to be operated is displayed in a fade-in manner. (e.g., a presentation in which an effect is displayed, a presentation in which an effect display is displayed, etc.) can be performed, the period in which the movement promotion preparation presentation is executed in the time saving state A or the variable probability state, and the period in which the movement promotion preparation presentation is performed in the time saving state B. It is preferable that the execution period be the same, and by doing so, it is possible to reduce the development cost and to suitably notify that the "button notice" will be executed.

<Item B6>
Regarding the execution rate per variable display of "movable object notice" as a suggestive performance that suggests that the jackpot game state will be controlled, in "time saving state B", as shown in Figure 11-49 (D), In the case of a jackpot or miss, it is 0% (non-execution), and in the "probability variable state", as shown in Figure 11-49 (B), it is 90% in the case of a jackpot and 40% in the case of a miss. In "time saving state A", as shown in FIG. 11-49(C), the percentage is 90% in the case of a jackpot and 30% in the case of a loss.

In other words, the execution rate of "movable object notice" per 1 variable display in "time saving state B" (for example, 0% jackpot, 0% loss) is the same as the execution rate of "movable object notice" per 1 variable display in "time saving state A". It is lower than the execution rate of "Notice" (for example, 90% jackpot, 30% miss), and the execution rate of "movable notice" per one variable display in "probability change state" (for example, 90% jackpot, 40% miss). ) lower than

According to item (B6), it is suggested that in the time saving state B, which is controlled through a specific number of variable displays, it is controlled to the jackpot gaming state, taking into account that the period in which it is not controlled to the jackpot gaming state continues for a long time. Since the number of executions of the movable body advance notice is reduced, a suitable time-saving state B can be provided.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the execution ratio of "movable object notice" per variable display in "time saving state B" is 0%, but the present invention is not limited to this. , ) means that the execution rate of "movable object notice" per one variable display in "time-saving state B" is higher than the "movable object notice" execution rate per one variable display in at least one of "time-saving state A" and "probable variable state". If the execution rate is lower than the execution rate of "mobile body notice", it may be possible to execute "movable body notice" in "time saving state B".

In addition, when the variable display result is a jackpot, the rate at which "movable object notice" is executed in time-saving state B (for example, 0%) is different from the rate at which "movable object notice" is executed in time-saving state A or probability variable state when the variable display result is a jackpot. Although it is lower than the percentage (for example, 90%) in which "movable object notice" is executed, the percentage in which "movable object notice" is executed in time-saving state B when the variable display result is a jackpot is lower than the percentage (for example, 90%) in which "movable object notice" is executed when the variable display result is a jackpot. In this case, the rate at which "movable object notice" is executed may be higher than in the time saving state A or the variable probability state. By doing this, the degree of attention to the "movable object notice" can be made different between the time-saving state A, the variable probability state, and the time-saving state B, thereby increasing interest.

In addition, when the variable display result is a jackpot, the rate at which the "vibration (small)" pattern is executed in time-saving state B (for example, 0%) is different from that in time-saving state A and probability variable state when the variable display result is a jackpot. is lower than the percentage (for example, 30%) in which the "vibration (small)" pattern is executed in the time saving state B when the variable display result is a jackpot. If the variable display result is a jackpot, the rate at which the "vibration (small)" pattern is executed in the time saving state A or the variable probability state may be higher (for example, 30%). By doing this, the degree of attention to the "movable object notice" can be made different between the time-saving state A, the variable probability state, and the time-saving state B, thereby increasing interest.

<Item B7>
Regarding the execution rate per variable display of "character notice" as an inciting effect to incite whether or not to change the mode of variable display to reach mode, in "time saving state B", as shown in Figure 11-47 (D) In the case of a jackpot, the percentage is 10%, and in the case of a miss, it is 5%, and in the "probable variable state", as shown in Figure 11-47 (B), the percentage is 80% in the case of a jackpot and 30% in the case of a loss. Yes, in "time saving state A", as shown in FIG. 11-47(C), the percentage is 80% in the case of a jackpot and 20% in the case of a loss.

In other words, the execution rate of "character preview" per 1 variable display in "time saving state B" (for example, 10% jackpot, 5% loss) is the same as the execution rate of "character notice" per 1 variable display in "time saving state A". (e.g., 80% jackpot, 20% miss), and lower than the execution ratio of "character preview" per variable display in "probability change state" (e.g., 80% jackpot, 30% miss). low.

In addition, as shown in Figure 11-46 (A), regarding the execution rate per variable display of "reach notice" as an inciting effect to incite whether or not to change the variable display mode to reach mode, "time saving state In "B", it is 20%, in "variable probability state", it is 50%, and in "time saving state A", it is 40%.

In other words, the execution rate of "reach notice" per one variable display in "time saving state B" (e.g. 20%) is the same as the execution ratio of "reach notice" per one variable display in "time saving state A" (e.g. , 40%), and also lower than the execution rate (for example, 50%) of the "reach notice" per one variable display in the "probability variable state".

According to item (B7), in the time-saving state B that is controlled through a specific number of variable displays, it is determined whether a reach is achieved or not, taking into consideration the long period in which the jackpot game state is not controlled. Since the number of executions of reach notices and button notices is reduced, a suitable time-saving state B can be provided.

In addition, in this embodiment, the execution ratio of "character notice" per one variable display in "time saving state B" is lower than the execution ratio of "time saving state A" and "movable object notice" as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the execution rate of "character preview" per variable display in "time saving state B" may be set to 0%, that is, it may not be executed. In addition, as long as the execution rate of "character notice" per variable display in "time saving state B" is lower than the execution rate of "time saving state A" or "movable object notice", the above ratio can be changed in various ways. be.

<Item B8>
As a movable body operation pattern of "movable body notice" and "movable body performance" that can be executed by the performance control CPU 120 in one variable display, "pattern A" is used to execute "movable body notice" and "movable body performance". -2, A-3, B-2, B-3 (first effect execution pattern)" and "Pattern A-1 (first effect execution pattern)" which executes only the "movable object effect" without executing the "movable object notice". Regarding the execution rate of "Pattern A-1" when the variable display result is a jackpot, in "Time-saving state B", as shown in Figure 11-48 (D). In the "variable probability state", it is 20%, as shown in Figure 11-48 (B), and in the "time saving state A", it is 10%, as shown in Figure 11-48 (C). .

In other words, the execution rate (for example, 90%) of "Pattern A-1" when the variable display result is a failure in "Time-saving state B" is the same as the execution rate (for example, 90%) of "Pattern A-1" when the variable display result is a failure in "Time-saving state A." It is higher than the execution rate (for example, 10%) of ``Pattern A-1'' and also higher than the execution rate (for example, 20%) of ``Pattern A-1'' when the variable display result is wrong in the ``probability variable state''. expensive.

According to item (B8), in the time saving state B controlled through a specific number of variable displays, it is decided to control to the jackpot gaming state in consideration of the fact that the period in which the jackpot gaming state is not controlled continues for a long time. In this case, the movable body 32 is rarely moved inadvertently during the movable body notice before the movable body performance in which a jackpot is announced by falling of the movable body 32 is executed, and thus the time-saving state B is suitable. can be provided.

In addition, in this embodiment, the execution rate of "pattern A-1" when the variable display result is wrong in "time saving state B" is the same as the execution rate of "pattern A-1" when the variable display result is wrong in "time saving state A" or "variable probability state". Although the execution rate is lower than the execution rate of "Pattern A-1" in the case of The execution rate of "Pattern A-1" may be set to 0%, that is, it may not be executed.

In addition, when the variable display result is a jackpot in the time saving state A or the variable probability state, the rate at which "patterns A-2, A-3, B-2, B-3 (first performance execution pattern)" are executed (for example , 80-90%), when the variable display result is a jackpot in time saving state B, "patterns A-2, A-3, B-2, B-3 (first performance execution pattern)" are executed. By setting the percentage higher than the ratio (for example, 10%), in the time saving state A and the variable probability state, it is possible to draw attention to whether or not the movable body 32 operates, thereby increasing interest.

In addition, the execution frequency of the "movable object performance" in the time saving state B (for example, about 10%) is lower than the execution frequency (for example, 80 to 90%) of the "movable object performance" in the time saving state A and the variable probability state. In the time-saving state B, the movable body 32 is rarely operated unnecessarily, so that a suitable time-saving state B can be provided.

<Item B9>
Regarding the performance mode of the "post-performance" that notifies the expected number of balls to be given in the jackpot game state in which the performance control CPU 120 has notified that the SP reach performance will be controlled to the jackpot game state, see Figure 11-60. As shown in , this is common to "time-saving state B,""variable probability state," and "time-saving state A."

According to item (B9), in the time saving state B which is controlled through a specific number of variable displays, it is decided to control to the jackpot gaming state in consideration of the fact that the period in which the jackpot gaming state is not controlled continues for a long time. The variable display has fewer types of variable display patterns and the average time of the variable display time is shortened, which increases the speed at which the variable display is digested. Since A and the variable probability state can be enlivened by a common performance, a suitable time-saving state B can be provided.

In addition, there is a "movable object performance" that is executed when the variable display result is a jackpot in time saving state A or variable probability state, and a "movable object effect" that is executed when the variable display result is a jackpot in time saving state B. , are common (see FIG. 11-59 (D1)), so development costs can be reduced.

In addition, the control data used to control the movable body LED 208 to emit light in conjunction with the "after effect" in the time saving state A and the variable probability state, and the control data used to control the movable body LED 208 to emit light in conjunction with the "after effect" in the time saving state B. Since the control data used is common (for example, light emission control data executed based on the extended command D300), development costs can be reduced.

In addition, a vibration mode is performed by the vibration motor 61 in conjunction with the "post performance" in the time saving state A and the variable probability state, and a vibration mode is performed by the vibration motor 61 in conjunction with the "post performance" in the time saving state B. , are common (for example, vibration control data executed based on the extended command S300), thereby making it possible to reduce development costs.

<Item B10>
When the time saving control is started, the production control CPU 120 notifies the start of the time saving control by displaying a rush image 069SG470 (for example, characters such as "BATTLE RUSH rush!!") as a special state start display. Regarding the "rush effect" as a special state start effect, when the control of the variable probability state is started, the rush image 069SG470 is displayed in the variable variable entry effect, and when the control of the time saving state B is started, the time saving entry effect B is displayed. In addition to displaying the entry image 069SG470, the play time images 069SG473A and 069SG473B (for example, characters such as "Play 1100") are displayed as special displays that are not displayed when control in the variable probability state or time saving state A is started. (See Figure 11-63 (D), Figure 11-64 (A4) (B4)).

According to item (B10), in consideration of the fact that in the time saving state B, which was controlled through a specific number of variable displays, there was a long period in which the jackpot game state was not controlled, in the rush performance, the control of the variable probability state was In addition to the entry image 069SG470 that is common to when the time saving state B starts, the play time images 069SG473A and 069SG473B, which are special displays that are not displayed when the control of the variable probability state is started, are displayed, so that the start of the time saving state B can be excited. I can do it.

Furthermore, the effect control CPU 120 may be able to determine a special variation pattern having a variable display time that allows execution of the "rush effect" in the relief time shortening variation. By doing so, the "rush effect" can be suitably executed.

Next, as shown in FIG. 11-50(C), the difference between the "time saving state B", the "probable variable state" and the "time saving state A" will be explained.

<Item C1>
As explained in each item A1 to A5 shown in FIG. 11-50(A), the number of losing fluctuation patterns and jackpot fluctuation patterns that can be determined by the CPU 103 is the smallest in time saving state B, and The average time of the variable display time of the pattern or jackpot fluctuation pattern is the shortest in the time saving state B, and the determination rate of non-reach is the highest in the time saving state B. Therefore, the average consumption time per variable display in each of "time saving state B", "probable variable state", and "time saving state A" in which time saving control is performed is that time saving state B is the fastest, and definite variable state is medium speed. , time saving state A is low speed.

In this way, among the time-saving state B, probability variable state, and time-saving state A, in which the fluctuation efficiency is higher than the normal state by performing time-saving control, the probability variable state and time-saving state A provide a jackpot gaming state that is advantageous to the player. In contrast, time-saving state B is controlled through execution of a variable display a specific number of times (for example, 900 times) without a jackpot occurring in a low probability state. be.

In addition, in the variable probability state and the time-saving state A, the number of variable displays during which the time-saving control is performed is the first number (for example, 110 times), whereas in the time-saving state B, the number of variable displays during which the time-saving control is performed is the first number (for example, 110 times). The second number of times is greater than the first number of times (for example, 1100 times).

In other words, in time-saving states such as variable probability state and time-saving state A, players are in a gaming state where they can wait in anticipation of the next jackpot while enjoying reach and various performances while reducing investment compared to normal states. On the other hand, in the case of time-saving state B, there is no jackpot and the game is controlled after a long period of playing in a disadvantageous state for the player, and the number of variable display times of the time-saving control is greater than in the variable probability state or time-saving state A. Taking into consideration the time-saving situation, by increasing the fluctuation efficiency as mentioned above, we reduce the number of wasted batted balls and reduce investment, but rather than enjoying the production, we can efficiently digest the variable deviation display and shorten the time By giving priority to winning the jackpot within a short period of time, it is possible to suppress a decline in the player's desire to play.

<Item C2>
In addition, as explained in each item B1 to B10 shown in Figure 11-50 (B), the execution rate of the various preview performances mentioned above is lowest in time-saving state B, highest in variable probability state, and highest in time-saving state A. Inside.

In other words, during the long period of play until the game is controlled to time-saving state B, there is a high possibility that the player is quite depressed as various preview performances are executed and continue to miss. In state B, the execution rate of the preview performance is lower than in other game states, so that it is possible to suitably prevent a decrease in the player's desire to play due to a missed performance.

<Item C3>
In this way, time-saving state B has a higher fluctuation efficiency than other variable-variable states and time-saving state A where time-saving control is performed in the same way, and there are fewer opportunities to be stimulated by advance announcements, so additional investment can be made. This is a gaming state in which the player waits for the jackpot by suitably digesting the variable display while suppressing the decline in motivation and desire to play.

More specifically, the time saving state B is based on the average normal pattern fluctuation time (period for changing the normal pattern), the probability of hitting a ``normal pattern'' in the normal pattern game, and the ease with which the game ball enters the second starting prize opening. While the control (high opening control, high base control), etc. is common to other variable probability states and time-saving state A, the average special symbol fluctuation time (period for varying special symbols) is different from other probability variable states and time-saving state A. This is a time-saving state in which variable efficiency is prioritized over performance by reducing the execution frequency of various effects while increasing the variation efficiency by shortening the time compared to state A.

In addition, the CPU 103 can determine a deviation variable display pattern (for example, non-reach, SP reach D) that can be determined in the time saving state B, and a deviation variable display pattern that can be determined in at least one of the time saving state A and the probability variable state (for example, a non-reach , SP reach D) are common, and by not setting a variable display pattern that can be determined only in the time saving state B, it is possible to reduce development costs and program capacity.

In addition, the CPU 103 determines a deviation variable display pattern that can be determined in time saving state B (for example, non-reach, SP reach D) and a deviation variable display pattern that can be determined in both time saving state A and probability variable state (for example, non-reach, SP reach D). ) and are common, and by not setting a variable display pattern that can be determined only in the time-saving state B, it is possible to reduce development costs and program capacity.

Further, the average time of the control period controlled to the time saving state B is shorter than the average time of the control period controlled to the variable probability state, and the average time of the control period controlled to the variable probability state is shorter than the average time of the control period controlled to the variable probability state. It is preferable to make the control period shorter than the average time of the control period. In this way, in the time saving state B, the average time of the control period is shorter than in the variable probability state, thereby increasing the speed of digestion of the variable display, thereby making it possible to provide a suitable time saving state B, and in the time saving state A, The interest in the game can be increased by increasing the average time of the control period.

Further, the number of outlier fluctuation patterns that the CPU 103 can determine in the time saving state B (for example, 2) is smaller than the number of outlier fluctuation patterns that can be determined in the time saving state A (for example, 3). The number of determinable losing variation patterns (e.g., 3) is smaller than the number of determinable losing variation patterns (e.g., 4) in the variable probability state, so that the number of determinable losing variation patterns in time-saving state B is The interest of the game can be increased by reducing the number to give priority to the use of the variable display, while increasing the number of determinable loss variation patterns in the probability variation state.

The CPU 103 also provides a jackpot variable display pattern that can be determined in the time saving state B (for example, SP reach D) and a jackpot variable display pattern that can be determined in at least one of the time saving state A and the probability variable state (for example, the probability variable state). , SP reach D) are common, and by not setting a variable display pattern that can be determined only in the time saving state B, it is possible to reduce development costs and program capacity.

Also, the jackpot fluctuation pattern that the CPU 103 can determine in the time saving state B (for example, not via SP) and the jackpot variable display pattern that can be determined in both the time saving state A and the probability variable state (for example, not via the SP) are common. By doing so, and by not setting a variable display pattern that can be determined only in the time saving state B, it is possible to reduce development costs and program capacity.

Further, the average time of the control period controlled to the time saving state B is shorter than the average time of the control period controlled to the variable probability state, and the average time of the control period controlled to the variable probability state is shorter than the average time of the control period controlled to the variable probability state. It is preferable to make the control period shorter than the average time of the control period. In this way, in the time saving state B, the average time of the control period is shorter than in the variable probability state, thereby increasing the speed of digestion of the variable display, thereby making it possible to provide a suitable time saving state B, and in the time saving state A, The interest in the game can be increased by increasing the average time of the control period.

In addition, the number of jackpot fluctuation patterns that the CPU 103 can determine in time-saving state B (for example, 1) is smaller than the number of jackpot fluctuation patterns that can be determined in time-saving state A (for example, 2), and in time-saving state A. The number of jackpot fluctuation patterns that can be determined (e.g., 2) is smaller than the number of jackpot fluctuation patterns that can be determined (e.g., 3) in the variable probability state. The interest of the game can be increased by reducing the number to give priority to the variable display while increasing the number of jackpot fluctuation patterns that can be determined in variable probability states.

Furthermore, a non-reach deviation variation pattern (for example, non-reach) that can be determined by the CPU 103 in the time-saving state B, and a non-reach deviation variation pattern (for example, non-reach) that can be determined in at least one of the time-saving state A and the probability variable state. and are common, and by not setting a non-reachable deviation that can be determined only in the time-saving state B, it is possible to reduce the development cost and the program capacity.

In addition, the non-reach deviation variation pattern (for example, non-reach) that the CPU 103 can determine in the time-saving state B and the non-reach deviation pattern (for example, non-reach) that can be determined in both the time-saving state A and the variable probability state are common. By not setting a non-reachable deviation that can be determined only in the time-saving state B, it is possible to reduce the development cost and the program capacity.

In addition, the CPU 103 determines a non-reach jackpot fluctuation pattern that can be determined in the time-saving state B (for example, non-SP) and a non-reach jackpot fluctuation pattern that can be determined in at least one of the time-saving state A and the probability-variable state (for example, non-SP). ) and are common, and by not setting a non-reach jackpot that can be determined only in time-saving state B, it is possible to reduce development costs and program capacity.

In addition, a non-reach jackpot fluctuation pattern that can be determined by the CPU 103 in time-saving state B (for example, not via SP), and a non-reach out-of-reach fluctuation pattern that can be determined in both time-saving state A and probability variable state (for example, not via SP), are common, and by not setting a non-reach jackpot that can be determined only in the time-saving state B, it is possible to reduce development costs and program capacity.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, in the time-saving state B, the execution rate of various performances that can be performed by the performance control CPU 120 is lower than in the variable probability state or the time-saving state A, but for example, in the normal state (low probability /low base state), when the remaining number of variable displays until it is controlled to time saving state B (relief time saving attainment fluctuation) becomes less than a predetermined value (for example, remaining 100 times, 50 times, etc.), the effect control CPU 120 The execution rate of various effects that can be executed by the CPU 120 may be set lower than the execution rate of various effects that can be executed by the effect control CPU 120 in the normal state. In addition, in this case, the execution rate of performance 1 may be lower than the execution rate in the normal state, but higher than the execution rate in time-saving state B (execution rate of performance 1; normal state (remaining 101 or more times) > normal state (remaining number of times 100 or less) > time saving state B).

In addition, in the normal state (low accuracy/low base state), the number of remaining variable displays until the time saving state B is controlled (relief time saving attainment variation) becomes less than a predetermined value (for example, 100 times remaining, 50 times, etc.) Sometimes, the contents of the items A1 to A5 and B1 to B10 may be changed to correspond to the time saving state B. By doing so, it is possible to suppress the troublesomeness until the time saving state B is controlled.

Also, in the normal state (low accuracy/low base state), the period in which the remaining number of variable displays is less than a specific value (for example, 50 times remaining, 10 times, etc.) before being controlled to time-saving state B (relief time-saving attainment variation). In the case where the variable display result is a jackpot, the rate at which performances with low expectations (for example, SP reach performance A, weak pattern preview performance, etc.) are executed may be increased.

(Variable display mode of design)
Next, variable display modes of decorative symbols and small symbols will be explained based on FIGS. 11-51 to 11-55. FIG. 11-51 is a timing chart showing variable display modes of symbols in (A) a probability variable state, a shortened shortened non-reach variation pattern in time saving state A, and (B) a shortened shortened non-reach variable pattern in shortened time state B. . FIG. 11-52 is an example of the production operation of the shortened non-reach variation pattern in the probability variation state and time saving state A. FIG. 11-53 is an example of the performance operation of the shortened non-reach variation pattern in the probability variation state and time saving state A. FIG. 11-54 is an example of the performance operation of the shortened non-reach variation pattern in the time saving state B. FIG. 11-55 is an example of the performance operation of SP reach E and SP reach D.

In this embodiment, each decorative pattern that is variably displayed in the decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5R, and 5R is a number display section 069SG051 consisting of numbers "1" to "9" and a lower order number display section 069SG051. A pedestal display section 069SG052 displayed on the display layer (back side) of. On the other hand, the left small design, medium small design, and right small design displayed in the display area 5SL at the upper left of the display screen of the image display device 5 are each made up of only numbers "1" to "9" that are displayed smaller than the decorative designs. configured. The decorative symbols and small symbols are variably displayed in synchronization with the variable display of the special symbols.

The variable display modes of the variation patterns (for example, non-reach variation patterns) in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5R, and 5R are normal state, variable probability state/time saving state A, and time saving state B. There is a difference between if and when. Below, regarding the variable display mode of decorative symbols based on the non-reach variation pattern (including shortened non-reach A and non-reach A) in the normal state, variable probability state/time saving state A, the timing shown in Fig. 11-51 (A) will be explained. This will be explained based on the chart and with reference to FIGS. 11-52 and 11-53. In addition, since the variable display mode of the decorative pattern of the non-reach system in the normal state, variable probability state/time saving state A is common, in FIG. do.

As shown in FIG. 11-51(A), at the start timing ta1 of the variable display of shortened non-reach in the variable probability state and time saving state A, the decorative symbols and small symbols of each decorative symbol display area 5L, 5R, and 5R are variable. The display starts simultaneously (all at once) (see Figure 11-52(A)). That is, the start order of variable display of each decorative pattern is common. In addition, each decorative pattern starts variable display at "low speed", changes to "medium speed" at timing ta2 when a predetermined time has elapsed, and then changes to "high speed" which is the maximum speed at timing ta3 when a predetermined time has elapsed. After that, it is displayed variably at a constant rotation speed. On the other hand, the small symbols are variably displayed at the highest speed "high speed" from the start timing ta1 of variable display. Note that "high speed" which is the maximum speed of the decorative pattern and "high speed" which is the maximum speed of the small pattern may be the same or different.

Next, as the end of the variable display approaches, the variable display speed of the decorative symbols changes from "medium speed" to "low speed" in the order of the left decorative symbol display area 5L, the right decorative symbol display area 5R, and the middle decorative symbol display area 5C. . Then, at timing ta4 when a predetermined decorative pattern is temporarily stopped and displayed in the left decorative pattern display area 5L, a predetermined pattern stop sound is output from the speakers 8L and 8R (see FIG. 11-52(B)). Next, the pedestal display section 069SG052 is enlarged to a predetermined size and then a specific action display (stop display action) is performed that returns to the original size (see Figure 11-52 (C)), and then the original size is displayed. At the timing of returning to , the decorative pattern is temporarily stopped and displayed in the left decorative pattern display area 5L (see FIG. 11-52(D)).

Next, at timing ta5 when a predetermined decorative pattern is temporarily stopped and displayed in the right decorative pattern display area 5R, a predetermined pattern stop sound is output from the speakers 8L and 8R (see FIG. 11-52(E)). Next, after the pedestal display section 069SG052 is enlarged to a predetermined size and then returned to its original size, a specific action display (stop display action) is performed (see Figure 11-52 (F)), and then the original size is displayed. At the timing of returning to , the decorative pattern is temporarily stopped and displayed in the right decorative pattern display area 5R (see FIG. 11-52 (G)).

Next, at timing ta6 when a predetermined decorative pattern is temporarily stopped and displayed in the center decoration pattern display area 5C, a predetermined pattern stop sound is output from the speakers 8L and 8R (see FIG. 11-53 (H)). Next, after the pedestal display section 069SG052 is displayed enlarged to a predetermined size and then returned to its original size, a specific action display (stop display action) is performed (see FIG. 11-53 (I)), and then the original size is displayed. At timing ta6 when the display returns to , the decorative pattern is temporarily stopped and displayed in the center decorative pattern display area 5C (see FIG. 11-53 (J)). Although not shown in detail, the decorative symbols in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R are displayed in a temporary halt display mode (for example, , oscillating motion, etc.).

Then, at timing ta7 (timing at which the pattern confirmation designation command is received) when a predetermined period of time has elapsed from timing ta6 when the decorative pattern was stopped and temporarily displayed in the center decoration pattern display area 5C, the left, middle, and right small patterns are displayed at the same time. (all at once) are stopped and displayed (see Figure 11-53(K)). In this way, the three small symbols are stopped and displayed at the same time without any specific action being displayed. Further, at timing ta7 when the small symbols are stopped and displayed, the three decorative symbols that have been temporarily stopped and displayed in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R are simultaneously stopped and displayed.

Then, at timing ta8 when a symbol determination period (for example, 0.5 ms) has elapsed from timing ta7 when the small symbol was stopped and displayed, the next variable display can be started.

Next, the variable display mode of the non-reach-type out-of-the-way decorative symbols in the time saving state B will be explained based on the timing chart of FIG. 11-51(B) and with reference to FIG. 11-54. In addition, since the variable display mode of the decorative pattern of the non-reach system in the time saving state B is common, in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 11-51(B), at the start timing tb1 of the variable display of super shortened non-reach in time saving state B, the variable display of the decorative symbols and small symbols in each decorative symbol display area 5L, 5R, and 5R is They are started simultaneously (all at once) (see Figure 11-54(A)). That is, the start order of variable display of each decorative pattern is common. Moreover, each decorative pattern is variably displayed at a constant rotational speed after reaching the highest speed, ie, "high speed", at timing tb2, when a predetermined time has elapsed since the variable display was started at "medium speed". On the other hand, the small symbols are variably displayed at "high speed" which is the highest speed from the variable display start timing tb1. Note that "high speed" which is the maximum speed of the decorative pattern and "high speed" which is the maximum speed of the small pattern may be the same or different.

Next, as the end of the variable display approaches, the variable display speed of the decorative symbols in each of the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5R, and 5C becomes "medium speed" at the same time (all at once), and At timing tb3 when the decorative symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed at the same time (all at once), a predetermined symbol stop sound is output from the speakers 8L and 8R (see FIG. 11-54(B)). Incidentally, the variable display speed of the decorative pattern may change from "high speed" to "low speed" without passing through "medium speed". Next, after the pedestal display section 069SG052 is enlarged to a predetermined size and then returned to its original size, a specific action display (stop display action) is not performed, and a predetermined period of time has elapsed from timing tb3 when each decorative pattern was temporarily stopped and displayed. At timing tb4 (timing at which the symbol confirmation designation command is received), the left, middle, and right small symbols are stopped and displayed at the same time (all at once) (see FIG. 11-54(C)). In this way, the three small symbols are stopped and displayed at the same time without any specific action being displayed. Further, at timing tb4 when the small symbols are stopped and displayed, the three decorative symbols that have been temporarily stopped and displayed in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R are simultaneously stopped and displayed.

Then, at timing tb5 when a symbol determination period (for example, 0.5 ms) has elapsed from timing tb4 when the small symbol was stopped and displayed, the next variable display can be started.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the period during which the variable display speed of the decorative pattern in the variable display is "medium speed" during acceleration or deceleration is common to the time saving state B, the variable probability state, and the time saving state A. The time saving state B may be shorter than the variable probability state or the time saving state A. In addition, the period during which the variable display speed of the decorative pattern in the variable display is "high speed" is shorter in the time saving state B than in the definite variable state and in the time saving state A; It may be common to A.

In addition, in this embodiment, the stop display mode of the decorative symbols variably displayed in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R is common to the time saving state B, the variable probability state, and the time saving state A (left, middle, right). Although the present invention is not limited to this example, for example, in the variable probability state and the time saving state A, the decorative symbols on the left, middle, and right are arranged horizontally and displayed in a stopped state. While the decorative symbols are horizontally arranged and stopped, the left, middle, and right decorative symbols are stopped and displayed in different positions in the vertical direction in time-saving state B. The manner may be different from the manner in which the decorative symbols are stopped and displayed in the variable probability state or the time saving state A.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the variable display mode of the decorative patterns variably displayed in the decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R is common to the time saving state B, the probability variable state, and the time saving state A (variably displayed in the vertical direction). ), but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in the variable probability state and the time-saving state A, the display is variably displayed in the vertical direction, while in the time-saving state B, the display is displayed variably in the horizontal direction. Variable display in time-saving state B, such as displaying a variable display, or displaying a variable display of a decorative pattern in a reduced size in the display area 5SR, etc., and continuing to display special effects by friendly characters, enemy characters, etc. on the display screen. The mode may be different from the variable display mode in the variable probability state or the time saving state A.

In this way, the start order of the variable display of decorative symbols in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5R, and 5C is as follows: in the variable probability state and time-saving state A, the non-reach variation pattern is used, and in the time-saving state B, the non-reach variation pattern is used. The time required for the decorative symbols in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5R, and 5C to reach the maximum speed is shorter in the time-saving state B than in the variable probability state and the time-saving state A. (tb1-tb2<ta1-ta3). Therefore, it is possible to give a different impression depending on the state and increase interest.

In addition, the stop order of the variable display of decorative symbols in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5R, and 5C is that if the non-reach variable pattern is in the variable probability state or time-saving state A, the display is stopped in the order of left → right → middle, and the display is stopped in the order of left → right → middle. In state B, if the non-reach is a variation pattern, the left, middle, and right are simultaneously stopped and displayed. Therefore, it is possible to give a different impression depending on the state and increase interest.

In addition, the stop order of the variable display of decorative symbols in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5R, and 5C is that in the variable probability state and time-saving state A, the non-reach is a shift variation pattern, and in the time-saving state B, the non-reach is a shift variation pattern. As is common to both cases, the time from when a decorative pattern is stopped and displayed in one of the decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5R, and 5C until the next decorative pattern is stopped and displayed is in a variable state. , the non-reach variation pattern may be different in the time-saving state A and the case where the non-reach variation pattern is the shift variation pattern in the time-saving state B. Therefore, it is possible to give a different impression depending on the state and increase interest.

In addition, the number of times the symbol stop sound is output in the variable display of 1 is 3 times because the left, middle, and right are stopped and displayed at different timings when the non-reach variable pattern is in the variable probability state and time saving state A. , in the time-saving state B, if the non-reach is a variation pattern, the left, middle, and right are stopped and displayed at the same timing, so it is displayed only once. Therefore, it is possible to give a different impression depending on the state and increase interest.

In addition, the number of outputs of the symbol stop sound in variable display 1 is common between the case where the non-reach is a deviation variation pattern in the variable probability state and time-saving state A, and the case where the non-reach is a deviation variation pattern in the time-saving state B. good. Therefore, it is possible to give a different impression depending on the state and increase interest.

In addition, in the variable probability state and time saving state A, a specific action display (symbol stop action) is performed when the non-reach is a fluctuation pattern, whereas in the time saving state B, when the non-reach is a fluctuation pattern, a specific action display ( Symbol stop action) is not performed. Therefore, in the variable probability state and the time-saving state A, the performance effect is enhanced by displaying the specific action, while in the time-saving state B, by not performing the specific action display, smooth variable display can be realized.

In addition, the specific action display (symbol stop action) is common in the case where the non-reach is a deviation variation pattern in the probability variable state and time-saving state A, and the case where the non-reach is a deviation variation pattern in the time-saving state B. While enhancing the display effect, development costs can be reduced by making the mode of displaying the specific action common between the variable probability state, time-saving state A, and time-saving state B.

In addition, during the period from when the decorative pattern is stopped and displayed to when the small symbol is stopped and displayed, the non-reach variation pattern in time-saving state B is better than the non-reach variation pattern in time-saving state A, and the non-reach variation pattern in time-saving state A. {t1 (ta6 to ta7)>t2 (tb3 to tb4)}. Therefore, smooth variable display can be realized in the time saving state B.

In addition, the pattern confirmation period (ta7 to ta8) is the minimum period from when the decorative pattern is stopped and displayed in the variable display of 1 to when the variable display of the decorative pattern starts in the next variable display in the variable probability state and time saving state A. And, in time saving state B, the symbol confirmation period (tb4 to tb5) is the minimum period from when the decorative symbol is stopped and displayed in the variable display of 1 until the variable display of the decorative symbol starts in the next variable display. Common. Therefore, development costs can be reduced by standardizing control that takes into account the drawing process until the decorative pattern is completely stopped and displayed.

In addition, although the specific motion display of each decorative pattern has been exemplified as a motion display that is enlarged to a predetermined size and then returned to the original size, the present invention is not limited to this, and the motion mode is not limited to the above, and can be modified in various ways. In addition, in the specific action display, the specific action is displayed only on the pedestal display section 069SG052, and the specific action display on the number display section 069SG051 is not performed, so the display of the specific action enhances the production effect while ensuring the visibility of the identification information. However, the numeric display section 069SG051 as well as the pedestal display section 069SG052 may also display a specific action. Moreover, the specific operation mode may be made to differ depending on each decorative pattern having a different number.

Further, in the above example, the variable display mode is the same for the shortening type non-reach deviation variation pattern and the non-shortening type non-reach deviation variation pattern, but the present invention is not limited to this. Instead, the variable display mode may be different between the shortened non-reach deviation variation pattern and the non-shortened non-reach deviation variation pattern.

Furthermore, the display position of the decorative pattern in the time-saving state B may be different between when the variable display starts and when the variable display stops.By doing this, the variable display can be suitably displayed even during a short variable display period. I can show you.

Furthermore, instead of accelerating the variable display speed of the decorative pattern until it reaches the maximum speed as in the present embodiment, the decorative pattern is changed to a mode that is difficult to see (for example, a dark mode) during variable display, and A variable display with a sense of speed may be realized by changing the decorative pattern from a difficult-to-see mode to a normal mode when the decorative pattern is stopped.

Next, the reach specific motion display and the jackpot specific motion display will be explained based on FIG. 11-55.

First, in the variable display of the SP reach E jackpot fluctuation pattern, the variable display starts (see Figure 11-55 (A)), and after the decorative symbols are stopped and displayed in the left decorative symbol display area 5L (see Figure 11-55 (B)), the decorative symbol is displayed at a reduced speed in the right decorative symbol display area 5R, and a reach notice and button notice are executed (see FIG. 11-55 (C)), and the decorative symbol is displayed in the right decorative symbol display area 5R. is temporarily stopped and displayed, the pedestal display section 069SG052 of the decorative pattern temporarily stopped and displayed in the left decorative pattern display area 5L and right decorative pattern display area 5R is enlarged to a predetermined size and then returned to its original size. A return reach specific motion display is performed (see FIG. 11-55 (D)), and the variable display mode becomes the reach mode (see FIG. 11-55 (E)).

Next, although not particularly shown in the drawings, when a jackpot notification is performed through the SP reach effect, fixed decorative symbols that are a predetermined jackpot combination are temporarily stopped and displayed in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5R, and 5C (Fig. 11 -55(F)). After that, the pedestal display section 069SG052 of the decorative pattern temporarily stopped and displayed in each of the decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R is enlarged to a predetermined size and then returned to the original size. After that, a jackpot specific operation display is performed. (See FIG. 11-55(G)), and the determined decorative pattern is stopped and displayed (See FIG. 11-55(H)).

On the other hand, in the variable display of the SP reach D jackpot fluctuation pattern, the variable display starts (see Figure 11-55 (I)), and the reach mode is not displayed, but the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5R, and 5C are Confirmed decorative symbols that result in a predetermined jackpot combination are temporarily stopped and displayed (see FIG. 11-55 (F)). After that, the pedestal display section 069SG052 of the decorative pattern temporarily stopped and displayed in each of the decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R is enlarged to a predetermined size and then returned to the original size. After that, a jackpot specific operation display is performed. (See FIG. 11-55(G)), and the determined decorative pattern is stopped and displayed (See FIG. 11-55(H)).

In this way, in the case of the SP reach E variation pattern, when the variable display mode becomes the reach mode, there is a reach specific movement display in which the decorative pattern moves in a specific manner, and the decorative pattern stops at a fixed decorative pattern that becomes a predetermined jackpot combination. A second specific action display that causes the decorative pattern to perform a specific action when displayed can be executed, and in the variation pattern of SP reach E via reach, a reach specific action display and a jackpot specific action display are executed. However, in the variation pattern of SP reach D that does not go through reach, the reach specific operation display is not executed and the jackpot specific operation display is executed. Therefore, in the SP reach D that can be executed in the time-saving state B, there is less chance of being provoked by mischief, so a suitable time-saving state B can be provided.

Note that in this embodiment, after the variable display starts as shown in FIG. 11-55(I), the reach mode is not displayed and the decorative pattern is displayed as shown in FIG. 11-55(F). Although we have exemplified a form in which fixed decorative symbols that constitute a predetermined jackpot combination are temporarily stopped and displayed in the display areas 5L, 5R, and 5C, the present invention is not limited to this. A "movable body effect" in which the movable body 32 falls may be performed without any operation by the player before the fixed decorative symbols that form a predetermined jackpot combination are temporarily stopped and displayed. .

(Display mode of non-reach deviation fluctuation pattern)
Next, we will compare the non-reach variation patterns. FIG. 11-56 is a diagram comparing examples of production operations of non-reach variation patterns. FIG. 11-57 is a diagram comparing examples of production operations of non-reach variation patterns. Note that, in the following, a detailed example of the specific operation displayed when the decorative pattern is stopped and displayed will be omitted.

As shown in Figure 11-56, when comparing the shortening type non-reach variation patterns, firstly, in the "ultra shortening non-reach" that can be determined in time saving state B, each of the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R At the same time, variable display of decorative patterns starts (see FIG. 11-56 (A1)). The variable display of the decorative patterns in each of the decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R is simultaneously stopped and displayed (see FIG. 11-56 (A2)). On the other hand, in "reduced non-reach A" that can be determined in the variable probability state and time saving state A, variable display of decorative symbols in each of the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R starts at the same time (Figure 11-56 (B1) reference). Next, the decorative pattern is stopped and displayed in the left decorative pattern display area 5L (see FIG. 11-56 (B2)), and the decorative pattern is stopped and displayed in the right decorative pattern display area 5R (see FIG. 11-56 (B3)). The decorative pattern is stopped and displayed in the center decorative pattern display area 5C (see FIG. 11-56 (B4)).

In this way, regarding the shortening type non-reach variation pattern, in the variable probability state and time saving state A, the variable display time is "3 seconds" and the decorative pattern is stopped and displayed in the order of left, right, and center. On the other hand, in the time saving state B, the variable display time is "1.5 seconds", which is a super shortening non-reach, and the decorative symbols are stopped and displayed simultaneously on the left, right, and center.

Next, as shown in FIG. 11-57, when comparing the non-reach variation patterns, firstly, in "non-reach A" which can be determined in a variable probability state, the decorative symbols in each of the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R variable display starts at the same time. At this time, a "movable body notice" in which the movable body 32 moves up and down may be executed (see FIG. 11-57 (A1)). Next, before the decorative pattern is stopped and displayed in any of the decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R, a character image 069SG100C and a line display 069SG431 consisting of characters such as "Reach?" are displayed. "Notice" may be executed (see Figure 11-57 (A2)).

Next, after the decorative symbols are stopped and displayed in the left decorative symbol display area 5L (see Figure 11-57 (A3)), a "reach notice" is displayed in which the decorative symbols are displayed at a reduced speed in the right decorative symbol display area 5R, and a push button is pressed. A button image 069SG441 imitating the button 31B and an operation promotion display 069SG442 such as "Long press!" may be displayed to prompt the operation of the push button 31B. A "button notice" may be executed (Figure 11- 57(A4)). After that, a decorative pattern different from the left pattern is stopped and displayed in the right decorative pattern display area 5R (see Figure 11-57 (A5)), and the decorative pattern is stopped and displayed in the middle decorative pattern display area 5C without reaching the reach mode. Then, the variable display ends (see FIG. 11-57 (A6)).

In addition, the "non-reach A" that can be determined in the time-saving state A (see Figures 11-57 (B1) to (B6)) is the non-reach variation pattern that can be determined in the variable probability state (see Figure 11-57 (A1)). ) to (A6)), the explanation will be omitted.

On the other hand, in "non-reach A" that can be determined in time saving state B, after the variable display of the decorative symbols in each of the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R starts at the same time (see Figure C1), the decorative symbol display area 5L , 5C, and 5R are simultaneously stopped and displayed, and the variable display ends (see FIG. 11-57 (C2)).

In this way, regarding the non-reach variation pattern, the variable display time is "7 seconds" in common in the variable probability state, time saving state A, and time saving state B, but in the variable probability state and time saving state A, "movable object notice" , "character preview," "reach notice," and "button notice" are executed at a high rate, whereas in time-saving state B, "movable body notice," "character notice," "reach notice," and "button notice" are executed at a high rate. The execution rate of various performances such as "Notice" is lower (or not executed) than in the case of variable probability state or time saving state A.

(Display mode of SP reach fluctuation pattern)
Next, we will compare the super reach variation patterns. FIG. 11-58 is a diagram comparing examples of performance operations of super reach variation patterns. FIG. 11-59 is a diagram comparing examples of performance operations of super reach variation patterns. FIG. 11-60 is a diagram comparing examples of performance operations of post-effect performance in super reach variation patterns.

Below, when comparing the super reach variation patterns based on FIG. 11-58 and FIG. , 5R, the variable display of the decorative patterns of each of them starts at the same time (see FIG. 11-58 (A1)). Next, before the decorative pattern is stopped and displayed in any of the decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R, a character image 069SG100C and a line display 069SG431 consisting of, for example, the words "You might reach!!" are displayed. "Character preview" may be executed (see Figure 11-58 (A2)).

Next, the variable display mode becomes the reach mode (see FIG. 11-58 (A3)). Although not particularly shown in the drawings, when entering the reach mode, "reach notice", "button notice", etc. may be executed.

Next, a reach title image 069SG440 consisting of a character image and text such as "SP reach effect E" is displayed (see FIG. 11-58 (A4)). Further, at this time, the decorative patterns that have been variably displayed in the decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R are displayed in a reduced size in the display area 5SR provided at the upper right of the display screen of the image display device 5. Then, a "battle effect" is started in which the character image 069SG100C of the ally character and the character image 069SG100X of the enemy character confront each other (see FIG. 11-58 (A5)).

Next, a predetermined time has elapsed since the start of the battle performance, and the final confrontation begins (see FIGS. 11-59 (A6) and (A7)). Here, a button image 069SG451 imitating the push button 31B, an operation promotion display 069SG452 such as "Start charging!", and a gauge display 069SG453 are displayed as an operation promotion effect that promotes the long press operation of the push button 31B. The "pass/fail button effect" is executed (see FIG. 11-59 (A8)). Note that if a long press operation by the player is detected within the valid operation period during which the operation promotion display 069SG452 is displayed, the level of the gauge display 069SG453 increases (see FIG. 11-59 (A9)).

In addition, before displaying the button image 069SG451 imitating the push button 31B during or immediately before the performance period of the win/fail button performance, a pre-effect (for example, a light condensing effect in which light gathers at the position where the button image 069SG451 is displayed) is added. etc.) may be executable. Further, it is preferable that such advance performance is not executed in the time saving state B.

Next, when a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) has elapsed since the start of the operation promotion display 069SG452, the display of the operation promotion display 069SG452 is changed to "Release!!" to promote the release of the push button 31B. At the same time, the operation time for opening the operation is displayed on the gauge display 069SG453 (see FIG. 11-59 (A10)). Then, an ally character attacks at the timing when the release of the push button 31B is detected before the predetermined effective operation period has elapsed, or at the timing when the effective operation period has elapsed without the release of the push button being detected. An image 069SG455 representing the above is displayed, and the movable body 32 falls from the origin position to near the intermediate position (see FIG. 11-59 (A11)).

Next, if the variable display result is a jackpot, a movable object effect is executed, and the movable object 32 falls from the origin position to the effect position, and an image and the movable object 32 are displayed showing that the attack of the friendly character hit the enemy character. The movable object effect image 069SG456 consisting of an effect image for emphasis is displayed, and after the movable object 32 falls from the origin position to the effect position (see Figure 11-59 (D1)), the enemy character is defeated and becomes an ally. A notification image 069SG457 indicating that the character has won the battle is displayed (see Figure 11-59 (D2)), and the confirmed decorative symbols that will be the predetermined jackpot combination are temporarily stopped in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R. By being displayed, it is announced that the variable display result has become a jackpot (see FIG. 11-59 (D3)).

When a jackpot is announced, as shown in FIG. 11-60, the background image is switched to the fifth background image 069SG350, and the character image 069SG100C and the expected number of balls to be released in the jackpot game state are displayed. A number counter display 069SG460 is displayed and the post performance is started (see FIG. 11-60 (D4)).

Next, an image of the friendly character attacking the enemy character is displayed, and an additional ball count display 069SG461 (for example, "+50") is displayed in response to the attack, and the displayed expected number of balls is displayed. It is added to the counter value displayed on the number counter display 069SG460 (see FIG. 11-60 (D5)). When the counter value displayed on the expected pitch counter display 069SG460 reaches a predetermined value (for example, "300"), a button image 069SG451 imitating the push button 31B and a message such as "Press!!" are displayed. An operation promotion display 069SG452 and a gauge display 069SG453 indicating the remaining operation validity period are displayed, and an operation promotion effect that promotes a single press operation of the push button 31B is executed (see FIG. 11-60 (D6)).

Next, at a timing when a pressing operation on the push button 31B is detected before a predetermined operation valid period has elapsed, or at a timing when the operation valid period has elapsed without a pressing operation being detected, an ally character attacks and the scheduled ball is released. The counter value of the number counter display 069SG460 is variably displayed (see FIG. 11-60 (D7)), and the enemy character is displayed in a fade-out manner (see FIG. 11-60 (D8)). Then, the expected pitch count counter display 069SG460 is enlarged and displayed in the center of the display screen, and a predetermined counter value (for example, "750" which is the expected number of pitches that can be obtained in the case of "6R jackpot") is stopped and displayed. (See Figure 11-60 (D9)).

In the case of jackpot A or jackpot B (6R jackpot), the counter value displayed on the planned ball count counter display 069SG460 is controlled to the jackpot gaming state without being updated, and in the case of jackpot C (10R jackpot), the planned ball count display 069SG460 is controlled to the jackpot gaming state. After the counter value displayed on the ball counter display 069SG460 is updated to a predetermined counter value (for example, "1500", etc.) (see FIG. 11-60 (D10)), it is controlled to a jackpot game state.

In addition, if the variable display result is incorrect, although detailed illustrations are not provided, the attack of the ally character does not hit the enemy character, the movable body 32 does not fall from the origin position to the production position, and the enemy character is not defeated. When an ally character loses the battle, the combination of losing symbols is stopped and displayed in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R, thereby informing that the variable display result has become a loss (Figure 11-59). (See D4).

Returning to FIG. 11-58, in the jackpot variation pattern of "SP reach C" that can be determined in a variable probability state, the variable display of the decorative symbols in each of the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R starts at the same time (FIG. 11-58). -58 (B1)). Next, at a timing when a predetermined period of time has elapsed since the start of the variable display, a blackout effect in which the display screen becomes a black screen is started (see FIG. 11-58 (B2)). After that, the same effect as in FIGS. 11-58 and 50 (A3 to A7) is performed without the variable display mode changing to the reach mode (see FIGS. 11-58 and 50 (B3 to B6)). -59 (A8 to A9) is not performed, and the same effect as in FIG. 11-59 (A10 to A11) is performed (see FIG. 11-59 (B7 to B8)). Then, the effects shown in FIGS. 11-59 (D1 to D3) and FIG. 11-60 (D4 to D10) are performed.

Returning to FIG. 11-58, in the jackpot fluctuation pattern of "SP reach D" that can be determined in time saving state B, the variable display of the decorative symbols in each of the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R starts at the same time (Fig. 11-58 (C1)). Next, at a timing when a predetermined period of time has elapsed since the start of the variable display, a blackout effect in which the display screen becomes a black screen is started (see FIG. 11-58 (C2)). After that, the same effect as in Fig. 11-58 (A5) is performed without the variable display mode changing to the reach mode, and without the effect shown in Fig. 11-58 (A4) being performed (Fig. 11-58 (C3)), the same effect as in Fig. 11-59 (A10 to A11) is performed without the effect in Fig. 11-59 (A8 to A9) (see Fig. 11-59 (C4 to C5)) ). Then, the effects shown in FIGS. 11-59 (D1 to D3) and FIG. 11-60 (D4 to D10) described above are performed.

(Example of control operation of super reach jackpot fluctuation pattern)
Next, examples of control operations for jackpot fluctuation patterns for SP reaches E, C, and D will be compared based on FIG. 11-61. FIG. 11-61 is a timing chart showing an example of control operations in SP reaches E, C, and D.

As shown in Figures 11-61 (A) to (C), SP reach E, C, and D are obtained in the variable display part that performs variable display of decorative symbols and in the jackpot game state after the end of the variable display part. It consists of a post-performance part that notifies the number of possible expected pitches. In the variable display part, when the variable display starts, the aforementioned "movable body notice", "character notice", "reach notice", "button notice", etc. are executed, and after entering the reach mode, the SP reach effect "Battle production" and "short battle production" are executed. Then, at timing ta1, after the "win/fail button performance" as an operation promotion performance is started in the "decision performance", the "movable object performance" is started at timing ta2. After that, after the results of the "battle performance" and "short battle performance" are announced, at timing ta3, the confirmed decorative symbols that form a predetermined jackpot combination are temporarily stopped and displayed, and a jackpot specific action is displayed (jackpot pattern stop action). After the procedure (see FIG. 11-55 (G)) is performed, at timing ta4, the jackpot confirmed symbol combination is temporarily stopped and displayed to notify that the jackpot has been achieved. Thereafter, the post effect is executed during the period from timing ta5 to ta6.

The variable display time (ta0 to ta5) of the variable display part is 50 seconds for SP reach E that can be determined in time saving state A, 40 seconds for SP reach C that can be determined in variable probability state, and 40 seconds for SP reach that can be determined in time saving state B. In D, it is 25 seconds. On the other hand, the time of the post performance part (ta5 to ta6) is 15 seconds in common for each of SP reaches E, C, and D.

In other words, while the variable display times (50 seconds, 40 seconds) of the variable display parts in the time-saving state A and variable probability state are different from the variable display times (25 seconds) of the variable display parts in the time-saving state B, the variable display times (25 seconds) of the variable display parts in the time-saving state A and variable probability state are different. The variable display time (15 seconds) of the post performance part in the variable probability state and the variable display time (15 seconds) of the post production part in the time saving state B are common, so the time saving state A, the variable probability state, and the time saving state B are the same. In this way, the development cost can be reduced by making the post-production parts common, while enhancing the production effects by making the various productions in the variable display parts different.

In addition, while the variable display times (50 seconds, 40 seconds) of the variable display parts in the time-saving state A and variable probability state are different from the variable display times (25 seconds) of the variable display parts in the time-saving state B, the variable display times (25 seconds) of the variable display parts in the time-saving state A and The display time of the jackpot specific action display in the variable probability state (ta3 to ta4) and the display time of the jackpot specific action display in the time saving state B (ta3 to ta4) are the same, so there are differences in the various effects in the variable display part. The development cost can be reduced by standardizing the display time of the jackpot specific action display while increasing the production effect.

Incidentally, the execution period (ta1 to ta2) of the "true/fail button performance" is the same for SP reach C and D, and only SP reach E is different.

The display control unit 123 also generates the image drawn in the image drawing area in the VRAM area as image data (display data) to be displayed on the image display device 5 in the display image creation area, and When performing display processing to output image data (display data) as a video signal, extended commands (e.g. extended commands DXXX, SXXX, etc.) are used as movable body control information to operate the movable body 32, push button 31B, etc. ("X" is an arbitrary number)), extended commands as lamp control information to turn on/off the movable LED 208, frame LEDs 9L1 to 9L12, 9R1 to 9R12, etc. (for example, extended command BXXX, etc. " is an arbitrary number)) and sends it to the performance control CPU 120.

Based on receiving the extended commands DXXX and SXXX, the production control CPU 120 executes operation control execution data for the vibration motor 61 that vibrates the movable body motor 207 of the movable body 32 and the push button 31B described in the process data. Separately from the operation control based on this, operation control is started to operate the movable body motor 207 of the movable body 32 and the vibration motor 61 that vibrates the push button 31B in an operation pattern corresponding to the extended commands DXXX and SXXX.

In addition, based on receiving the extended command BXXX, etc., the performance control CPU 120 performs control corresponding to the extended command BXXX, etc., separately from the control based on the lamp control execution data of the movable body LED 208 described in the process data. Control for lighting/extinguishing the movable body LED 208 is started in accordance with the lighting pattern (for example, refer to the lighting pattern shown in FIG. 13-6(B) in the characteristic portion 018SG).

Further, control data for operating the movable body 32 and the push button 31B, and control data for lighting the movable body LED 208 are stored in the ROM 121.

Here, control data (for example, control data corresponding to extended commands such as D100 and S200) used to control the operation of the movable body 32 and push button 31B in the "movable body performance" in the case of a jackpot in the time saving state A or the variable probability state and the control data (for example, control data corresponding to extended commands such as D100, S200, etc.) used to control the operation of the movable body 32 and push button 31B in the "movable body performance" in the case of a jackpot in the time saving state B are common. By doing so, development costs can be reduced.

In this embodiment, extended commands (for example, extended commands DXXX, SXXX, etc. ("X" is an arbitrary number)) as movable body control information for operating the movable body 32, push button 31B, etc. , separately from extended commands (for example, extended commands BXXX, etc. ("X" is any number)) as lamp control information for turning on/off the movable body LED 208, frame LEDs 9L1 to 9L12, 9R1 to 9R12, etc. Although the generated form has been illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in a "movable object effect" etc., in order to turn on/off the movable object LED 208, frame LEDs 9L1 to 9L12, 9R1 to 9R12, etc. Based on the extended command B000 as the control information for the lamp, the lighting/extinguishing control of the movable body LED 208 and the frame LEDs 9L1 to 9L12, 9R1 to 9R12, and the control for movable bodies such as the movable body 32 and the push button 31B are executed. It is also possible to do so. That is, lighting control and operation control may be performed using common control information (extended commands).

In addition, in the case of a jackpot in the time-saving state A or variable probability state, the vibration mode is performed by the vibration motor 61 in conjunction with the operation of the movable body 32 in the "movable body performance", and in the case of a jackpot in the time-saving state B, the "movable body performance" is Since the vibration mode executed by the vibration motor 61 in conjunction with the operation of the movable body 32 in "physical presentation" is common, development costs can be reduced.

In addition, control data ( For example, control data corresponding to extended commands such as B000) and control data used to control the movable body LED 208 that emits light in conjunction with the movement of the movable body 32 in the "movable body effect" in the case of a jackpot in time saving state B. (For example, control data corresponding to extended commands such as B000) are common, so development costs can be reduced.

In addition, by making the extended command B000 a common extended command for movable body motion control and LED lighting control, there is no need to separate the extended command for movable body motion control and the extended command for LED lighting control. Control program capacity can be reduced. If the extended commands used for moving object production are separated into an extended command for controlling moving object movement and an extended command for controlling LED lighting, there is a risk that one of the extended commands will be missed due to a problem, but it will be made common. This makes it possible to suitably perform moving body effects.

In addition, in the case of a jackpot in the time-saving state A or the variable probability state, an effect image is displayed in conjunction with the movement of the movable body 32 in the "movable body effect" (see movable body effect image 069SG456 in Figure 11-59 (D1)). And, in the case of a jackpot in the time saving state B, the effect image that is displayed in conjunction with the movement of the movable body 32 in the "movable body performance" (see movable body performance image 069SG456 in FIG. 11-59 (D1)) is By being common, development costs can be reduced.

(Comparison of super reach variation pattern and non-reach deviation variation pattern)
Next, a comparison between the super reach variation pattern and the non-reach deviation variation pattern will be explained based on FIG. 11-62. FIG. 11-62 is a diagram comparing a super reach variation pattern and a non-reach variation pattern.

As shown in Figure 11-62, the variable display period (tb0 to ta4) from the start of the variable display of decorative symbols until they are stopped in the super reach-out variation pattern is the same as that in the non-reach-out variation pattern. It is longer than the variable display period (tb0 to tb4) from the start of variable display to the stop display.

In addition, the variable display period (tb0 to tb1) of the non-reach variation pattern is longer than the period (tb0 to tb1) from when the variable display of decorative symbols starts in the super reach variation pattern until the variable display mode changes to the reach mode. By being shorter than tb3), the variable display ends in a shorter period than the period until the reach mode is reached, so that a suitable time-saving state B can be provided.

In addition, in the non-reach variation pattern, the period (tb0 to tb1) from the start of variable display of the decorative symbols in the left decorative symbol display area 5L to the stop display (tb0 to tb1) is longer than that in the super reach variation pattern. By being shorter than the period (tb0 to tb2) from when the variable display of the decorative symbols in the decorative symbol display area 5L is started until they are stopped and displayed, the variable display of the decorative symbols in the predetermined row ends in a short period. A suitable time-saving state B can be provided.

(Entertainment effect)
Next, an example of the effect operation of the rush effect will be explained based on FIGS. 11-63 and 11-64. FIG. 11-63 is a diagram showing an example of the performance operation in which (A) to (C) are rush introduction effects and (D) is time-saving rush effect A. FIG. 11-64 is a diagram showing an example of performance operation in which (A1) to (A4) are variable entry performance and (B1) to (B4) are time saving performance B.

As shown in Figures 11-63 (A) to (C), in the "rush introduction effect", the effect image 069SG470A is gradually enlarged and displayed in the center of the display screen, and the "BATTLE RUSH rush!!" The character images 069SG470B are moved into the frame from the right side of the display screen of the image display device 5 in units of a predetermined number (for example, one character) and are displayed moving to the center of the display screen.

Then, a rush image 069SG470 consisting of an effect image 069SG470A whose display color has changed as the maximum display is displayed, and a character image 069SG470B consisting of the characters "BATTLE RUSH Rush!!" gathered in the center of the display screen is displayed. By performing the "rush effect A", it is notified that the control of the time saving state A is started.

In addition, in the case of "probable entry effect", after the entry image 069SG470 of Figure 11-63 (D) is displayed, the characters consisting of "Koku" and the effect image are displayed as shown in Figure 11-64 (A1). After the definite variation image 069SG471 having a predetermined transmittance is displayed on a display layer higher than the entry image 069SG470, it moves toward the lower left of the display screen while gradually shrinking and decreasing in transmittance. The information will be displayed (see Figure 11-64 (A2 to A3)).

Then, a "probable variation entry effect" is performed in which an entry image 069SG472 consisting of the entry image 069SG470 and the probability variation image 069SG471, which is displayed at the bottom left of the display screen in the minimum size and with a transmittance of 0%, is displayed. , it is announced that control of the variable probability state is started (see FIG. 11-64 (A4)).

In addition, in the case of "time-saving entry effect B", the "entering introduction effect" explained in FIGS. 11-63 (A) to (C) is not executed, and the 900th time when the control start condition for time-saving state B is satisfied. When the symbol confirmation period (for example, 20 seconds, etc.) after the end of the variable display of is started, the entry image 069SG470 of Fig. 11-63 (D) is displayed, and then the image shown in Fig. 11-64 (B1) is displayed. As shown, after the playtime image 069SG473A, which has a predetermined transmittance and consists of the characters "1100" and an effect image, is displayed on a display layer higher than the rush image 069SG470, it is displayed toward the lower left of the display screen. The image is displayed moving while being gradually reduced in size and the transmittance is decreasing (see FIG. 11-64 (B2 to B3)).

Then, there is an entry image 069SG470, a play time image 069SG473A consisting of the characters "1100" displayed at the bottom left of the display screen in the minimum size with a transmittance of 0%, and a play time image 069SG473A consisting of the characters "Play". By performing the "time-saving entry effect B" in which the entry image 069SG473 consisting of the image 069SG473B is displayed, it is notified that the control of the time-saving state B is started (see FIG. 11-64 (B4)).

In this way, when the control of the time-saving state A is started, the entry image 069SG470 is displayed in the time-saving entry effect A, and when the control of the variable probability state is started, the entry image 069SG470 and the entry image 069SG470 are displayed in the variable probability entry effect. While displaying the entry image 069SG472 consisting of the image 069SG471, when the control of the time saving state B is started, the entry image 069SG470 that is displayed when entering the time saving state A and the variable probability state in the time saving entry effect B. In addition to displaying the common entry image 069SG470, play time images 069SG473A and 069SG473B are displayed as special displays that are not displayed when control in the variable probability state or time saving state A is started.

Therefore, in consideration of the fact that in the time-saving state B, which was controlled through a specific number of variable displays, there was a long period in which the jackpot game state was not controlled, in the time-saving entry performance B, the control in the probability variable state and the time-saving state A was In addition to the entry image 069SG470 that is common to when the time saving state B starts, the play time image 069SG473B, which is not displayed when the control of the variable probability state or the time saving state A is started, is displayed, so the start of the time saving state B can be excited. .

[Embodiment 2]
Next, a second embodiment of the characteristic portion 069SG will be described based on FIGS. 11-65 to 11-69. FIG. 11-65 is an explanatory diagram showing a specific example of a variation pattern determination table as the second embodiment in the feature section 069SG. FIG. 11-66 is a diagram showing a part of the variable display start setting process in the second embodiment in the characteristic section 069SG. FIG. 11-67 is a diagram showing a variable display effect pattern determination table. FIG. 11-68 is an example of the performance operation of SP reach D. FIG. 11-69 is a diagram for explaining the characteristics of each gaming state. In the second embodiment, illustrations and detailed explanations of the same configurations as those of the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the first embodiment will be omitted, and differences will be mainly explained.

In Figure 11-65, (A) is a specific example of a fluctuation pattern judgment table for failure when the number of pending memories is 0 in time-saving state B (relief time-saving state), and (B) is a specific example of a fluctuation pattern judgment table for failure when the number of pending memories is 1 to 3. A specific example of a fluctuation pattern judgment table for the loss of the case, (C) a specific example of a fluctuation pattern judgment table for a jackpot when the number of pending memories is 0, (B) a jackpot when the number of pending memories is 1 to 3 A specific example of a variation pattern determination table for use is shown.

As shown in FIG. 11-65(A), in the fluctuation pattern determination table for failure when the number of pending memories is 0, 100 determination values are assigned to super-shortened non-reach. Further, as shown in FIG. 11-65(B), in the variation pattern determination table for failure when the number of pending memories is 1 to 3, 100 determination values are assigned to super-shortened non-reach.

On the other hand, as shown in Figure 11-65(C), in the fluctuation pattern determination table for jackpot when the number of pending memories is 0 to 3, 10 determination values are assigned to SP reach E, and 10 determination values are assigned to SP reach D. Ninety judgment values are assigned.

In this embodiment, when the variable display of the variation pattern of SP reach D is determined in the variable probability state and the time saving state A, the performance control CPU 120 performs the "Short Battle" described in the first embodiment as a variable display performance. If a variable display of the fluctuation pattern of SP reach D is determined in the time saving state B while executing the "Short Battle Effect", the effect control CPU 120 executes the "Short Battle Effect" as the variable display effect, which will be described later. Execute "hit performance" or "full rotation performance".

In addition, the fluctuation pattern of SP reach D that can be determined in the variable probability state and the time saving state A is the reach fluctuation pattern in which the "short battle effect" is executed after the variable display starts and the variable display mode becomes the reach mode. On the other hand, the variation pattern of SP reach D that can be determined in time-saving state B is that after the variable display starts, the variable display mode does not change to the reach mode, and instead it is "immediate hit effect" or "full rotation effect". is a non-reach variation pattern that is executed.

Next, FIG. 11-66 is a part of a flowchart showing the variable display start setting process shown in FIG. 11-44. In this embodiment, after executing steps S069SGS271 to S069SGS276 in the variable display start setting process, the effect control CPU 120 executes the variable pattern stored in the variable pattern designation command storage area in step S069SGS277 in the shortened non-reach mode. If it is determined that it is not a variation pattern or a super shortened non-reach variation pattern, that is, if the variation pattern is a non-reach variation pattern or a super reach variation pattern (step 069SGS277; No), the reach notice execution determination process of step 069SGS278 is executed. Before execution, the processes from step 069SGS277A to step 069SGS277D are executed.

Specifically, the production control CPU 120 determines whether the variation pattern stored in the variation pattern specification command storage area is the SP reach D variation pattern (step 069SGS277A), and determines whether the variation pattern stored in the variation pattern specification command storage area is the SP reach D variation pattern. If so (step 069SGS277A; Yes), it is determined whether the gaming state is time saving state B (step 069SGS277B). If it is determined that the gaming state is the time saving state B (step 069SGS277B; Yes), a variable display effect pattern determination process is executed (step 069SGS277C).

In the variable display performance pattern determination process, for example, a random number (0 to 99) for determining a variable display performance pattern is extracted, and a variable display performance pattern is determined using the variable display performance pattern determination table shown in FIG. 11-67.

In the variable display effect pattern determination table, as shown in FIG. A, B (6R)", different determination values are assigned to each case so that the number of determination values shown in FIG. 11-67 is obtained.

Specifically, when the jackpot type is "Jackpot C (10R)", 10 judgment values are assigned to the "immediate hit effect" and 60 judgment values are assigned to the "full rotation effect". is assigned. In addition, when the jackpot type is "Jackpot A, B (6R)", 70 judgment values are assigned to the "immediate hit effect" and 30 judgment values are assigned to the "full rotation effect". Assigned.

In this way, when comparing the "immediate winning performance" and "full rotation performance" in three gaming states except the normal state, they are not executed in the variable probability state and time saving state A, but in the case of time saving state B. It is a variable display effect that can be executed only in the variable probability state and the time saving state A, and is executed using both the SP reach D variation pattern that can be determined in the variable probability state and the time saving state A.

In addition, the execution rate of “immediate hit effect” when the jackpot type is “jackpot A, B (6R)” is higher than the execution rate of “immediate hit effect” when the jackpot type is “jackpot C (10R)”. However, when the jackpot type is "Jackpot C (10R)", the execution rate of "full rotation effect" is higher than when the jackpot type is "Jackpot A, B (6R)". ” is higher than the execution rate. In other words, if the jackpot type is "Jackpot C (10R)" which is more advantageous for the player because the expected number of balls that can be acquired in the jackpot game state is larger than "Jackpot A, B (6R)", "Immediate win performance" "Full rotation performance" is executed at a higher rate than.

Next, examples of performance operations of "immediate hit performance" and "full rotation performance" will be explained. When the SP reach D jackpot fluctuation pattern is determined in the variable probability state and time saving state A, after the variable display starts and the variable display mode becomes the reach mode, the ally character wins against the enemy character in the battle performance. As a result, a "short battle effect" is executed in which it is announced that the variable display result is a jackpot (see Figures 11-58 to 11-59), but in the time saving state B, the SP reach D jackpot fluctuation pattern is determined. In this case, after the variable display is started, the "immediate win performance" or "full rotation performance" is executed in which the variable display mode does not become the reach mode and it is announced that the variable display result is a jackpot.

As shown in Figure 11-65, the "immediate hit effect" is performed after the variable display of the decorative symbols in each of the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R starts at the same time in the SP reach D jackpot variation pattern (Figure 11-65). 68 (A1)), when a predetermined period of time has elapsed, the determined decorative symbols that are a predetermined jackpot combination are temporarily stopped and displayed in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R (see FIG. 11-68 (A2)). ). After that, in the "decisive performance", an operation promotion performance is performed in which a button image imitating the push button 31B, an operation promotion display such as "Press!!", and a gauge display are displayed to promote the operation of the push button 31B. The movable body effect image 069SG456 indicating that the attack of the friendly character has hit the enemy character is displayed, and the "movable body effect" in which the movable body 32 falls from the origin position to near the intermediate position is executed. (See Figure 11-68 (A3)). Then, the determined decorative pattern is temporarily stopped and displayed again in the decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R (see FIG. 11-68 (A4)). After that, in the post performance part, after the post performance similar to the post performance explained in Fig. 11-60 (D4 to D10) is executed (see Fig. 11-68 (C1 to C7)), the jackpot game state is controlled. be done.

As shown in Figure 11-65, the "full rotation effect" is a blackout effect in which the display screen becomes a black screen at the start of the variable display in the SP reach D jackpot fluctuation pattern after being executed for a predetermined period (see Figure 11-65). 11-68 (B1)), variable display of the decorative symbols in each of the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R starts simultaneously in the third background image 069SG330 (see FIG. 11-68 (B2)). Then, when a predetermined time has elapsed, a full-rotation display is started in which the decorative symbols in each of the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R are variably displayed in a state in which the determined ornamental symbols that form a predetermined jackpot combination are aligned. (See Figure 11-68 (B3)). Thereafter, the determined decorative symbols that constitute a predetermined jackpot combination are temporarily stopped and displayed in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R (see FIG. 11-68 (B4)). After that, in the post performance part (design confirmation period), after the post performance similar to the post performance explained in Figure 11-60 (D4 to D10) is executed (see Figure 11-68 (C1 to C7)), Controlled to a jackpot gaming state.

In this way, in time saving state B, when the SP reach D jackpot fluctuation pattern is determined, the variable display notifies you that the variable display result is a jackpot without going through the reach mode after the variable display starts. By executing the "immediate winning performance" or the "full rotation performance" as the performance, the player can enjoy the SP reach performance with peace of mind without worrying about being provoked by the reach performance.

In addition, in the "immediate win effect" or "full rotation effect," like the "button notice" and "win/fail button effect" explained in the first embodiment, a button image imitating the push button 31B, "Press!! '' etc. and a gauge display are displayed to encourage the operation of the push button 31B, and operation promotion effects that require the player to operate the push button 31B are not executed, so the time saving state B In this case, the player can suitably digest the variable display without having to facilitate or perform any troublesome operations.

(Examples of various operations depending on gaming status)
Next, various operation examples for each of the three game states of the time saving state B, the variable probability state, and the time saving state A in this embodiment will be explained based on FIG. 11-69. FIG. 11-69 is a diagram for explaining various operation examples for each game state. Hereinafter, as shown in FIG. 11-69, the contents of each item "D1" to "D4" in the three gaming states of "time saving state B", "probability variable state", and "time saving state A" will be compared.

<Item D1>
First, regarding the rate at which the CPU 103 determines the SP reach D jackpot fluctuation pattern that does not go through the reach mode, in "time saving state B", as shown in Figure 11-65 (C), the number of pending memories is 0, 1 to 3. In this case, the determination ratio of "SP reach D (immediate hit performance or full rotation performance)" that does not go through the reach mode is "90%", and in the "probability variable state", as shown in Figure 11-6 (C), When the number of pending memories is 0 to 3, the decision ratio of "SP non-via A (non-reach)" that does not go through reach mode is "5%", and in "time saving state A", Figure 11-7 (C) As shown in FIG. 2, when the number of pending memories is 0 to 3, the determination ratio of "SP non-via A (non-reach)" that does not go through the reach mode is "5%".

In the variable probability state and time saving state A, "SP reach D" is a reach variation pattern in which a "short battle performance" is executed via a reach mode, and is not a non-reach variation pattern that does not go through a reach mode.

In other words, the percentage (for example, 90%) of "SP reach D jackpot variation pattern (immediate hit performance or full rotation performance)" that does not go through the reach mode in time saving state B is the same as the percentage (for example, 90%) that does not go through the reach mode in time saving state A. This is higher than the percentage (e.g., 5%) in which the "SP non-via A jackpot variation pattern" is determined, and the percentage in which the "SP non-via A jackpot variation pattern" that does not pass through the reach mode is determined (e.g., 5%). 5%).

According to item (D1), in the time saving state B which is controlled through a specific number of variable displays, it is not decided to control to the jackpot gaming state in consideration of the long period in which the jackpot gaming state is not controlled. In the variable display, by setting the mode of the variable display to the reach mode, the jackpot game state is controlled without being provoked by mischief, so that a suitable time-saving state B can be provided.

In addition, in this embodiment, the ratio of "SP reach D jackpot variation pattern (immediate hit performance or full rotation performance)" that does not go through the reach mode in the time saving state B is determined by the reach mode in the time saving state A or the probability variable state. Although we have exemplified a form in which the rate of "A jackpot fluctuation pattern not via SP" that does not go through is higher than the determined ratio, the present invention is not limited to this, and the case where the variable display result is a jackpot in time saving state B The "SP reach D variation pattern (immediate hit performance or full rotation performance)" that does not go through the reach mode may be determined at a rate of 100%.

<Item D2>
The performance control CPU 120 can execute, for example, a "win/fail button performance" in the SP reach performance as a motion promotion performance that encourages the player's actions, and can execute, for example, a "win/fail button performance" in the SP reach performance as a specific performance that notifies a variable display result. It is possible to perform "movable object performance".

Then, in the probability variable state or time saving state A, when the SP reach D jackpot variation pattern is determined, the performance control CPU 120 executes the "win/fail button performance" in the "decision performance" in the variable display of SP reach D. While executing the first performance execution pattern that later executes the "movable body performance", in the time saving state B, if the SP reach D jackpot fluctuation pattern is determined, the "immediate hit performance" in the variable display of SP reach D is executed. In this step, a second effect execution pattern is executed in which the "movable object effect" is executed without executing the "true/fail button effect".

Therefore, when the SP reach D jackpot fluctuation pattern is determined, the execution rate of the "immediate win effect" in which the "movable body effect" is executed without executing the "win/fail button effect" is as follows in the "time saving state B". As shown in Figure 11-65 (C), when the number of reserved memories is 0 to 3, it is "90%", and in the "probable variable state", as shown in Figure 11-6 (C), the number of reserved memories is 90%. In the case of 0 to 3, it is "0%", and in the "time saving state A", as shown in FIG. 11-7(C), it is "0%" when the number of pending memories is 0 to 3.

In other words, in the time-saving state B, the execution rate (for example, 90%) of the "immediate win effect" in which the "movable object effect" is executed without executing the "win/fail button effect" in the SP reach D jackpot fluctuation pattern is the same as that of the time-saving state A. In the SP reach D jackpot variation pattern, it is higher than the percentage (e.g. 0%) of executing the "movable object effect" without executing the "win/fail button effect", and in the SP reach D jackpot variation pattern in the probability variable state This is higher than the percentage (for example, 0%) of executing the "movable object effect" without executing the "button effect".

According to item (D2), in the time saving state B which is controlled through a specific number of variable displays, it is decided to control to the jackpot gaming state in consideration of the fact that the period in which the jackpot gaming state is not controlled continues for a long time. Since there is less need to prompt the player to operate the push button 31B when the player is notified of the change, a suitable time-saving state B can be provided.

In addition, in this embodiment, the percentage of executing "immediate hit performance" or "full rotation performance" in the SP reach D jackpot fluctuation pattern in the time saving state B is the same as that in the SP reach D jackpot fluctuation pattern in the time saving state A or the probability variable state. Although the embodiment has been exemplified in which the ratio is higher than the execution rate of "immediate hit performance" or "full rotation performance," the present invention is not limited to this. The rate at which "performance" or "full rotation performance" is executed may be set to 100%.

<Item D3>
When the number of pending memories is 0, the rate at which the CPU 103 determines a shortening non-reach variation pattern (for example, "super shortening non-reach" with a variation time of 1.5 seconds or "shortening non-reach A" with a variation time of 3 seconds) is " In "Time saving state B", as shown in Figure 11-65 (A), when the number of reserved memories is 0, it is "100%", and in "Probability variable state", as shown in Figure 11-6 (A), it is "100%". , is "0%" when the number of pending memories is 0, and in "time saving state A", as shown in FIG. 11-7(A), is "0%" when the number of pending memories is 0.

On the other hand, when the number of pending memories is 0, the CPU 103 selects a shortened non-reach variation pattern with a longer variable display time than the shortened non-reach variation pattern (for example, non-reach A with a variation time of 7 seconds, SP with a variation time of 25 seconds or 40 seconds). As shown in Figure 11-65 (A), the ratio that determines the reach fluctuation, etc.) is "0%" when the number of retained memories is 0, and in the "probable variable state", as shown in Figure 11-65 (A). As shown in Figure 11-6 (A), when the number of reserved memories is 0, it is "100%", and in "Time saving state A", as shown in Figure 11-7 (A), the number of reserved memories is "100%". If it is 0, it is "100%".

In other words, when the number of pending memories is 0 in the variable probability state or the time saving state A, the CPU 103 uses a negative variation pattern with a long variable display time (for example, the variable display time is On the other hand, if the number of pending memories is 0 in time-saving state B, it is possible to determine an out-of-reach variation pattern with a long variable display time (such as a 7-second non-reach pattern or a SP reach variation with a variation time of 25 seconds or 40 seconds). For example, a shortened non-reach variation pattern with a shorter variable display time (for example, a variation time of more than 1.5 seconds) than a non-reach variation pattern with a shorter variable display time (such as non-reach A with a variation time of 7 seconds or SP reach variation with a variation time of 25 seconds or 40 seconds). Shortened non-reach) can be determined.

According to item (D3), in the time saving state B controlled through a specific number of variable displays, even if the number of pending memories is 0, considering that the period in which the jackpot gaming state was not controlled continued for a long time. An outlier variation pattern with a longer variable display period than the shortened variation pattern (for example, a non-reach variation with a variation time of 7 seconds or an SP reach variation with a variation time of 25 or 40 seconds) is determined, and the digestion speed of the variable display is determined. Since there is no decrease in the amount of time, a suitable time-saving state B can be provided.

<Item D4>
In this embodiment, as jackpot types, "Jackpot A" and "Jackpot B" in which a 6R round game is executed are more advantageous to the player than "Jackpot A" and "Jackpot B" (for example, , "Jackpot C" (the number of rounds, that is, the number of expected pitches that can be obtained is large) can be determined (see FIG. 11-3 (D)).

In addition, in the time saving state B, when the SP reach D jackpot fluctuation pattern is determined, the performance control CPU 120 sets " It is possible to perform a full rotation performance.

In addition, when "Jackpot C (10R)" is determined as the jackpot type in the SP reach D jackpot fluctuation pattern, the ratio at which the performance control CPU 120 executes the "full rotation performance" is as follows in the "time saving state B". As shown in Figure 11-67, it is "90%", and in the "probable variable state", as shown in Figure 11-6 (C), it is "0%" ("Full rotation performance" is not executed), and "Time saving In "state A", as shown in FIG. 11-7(C), it is "0%" ("full rotation effect" is not executed).

In other words, when "Jackpot C (10R)" is determined as the jackpot type in time-saving state B, the ratio (for example, 100%) at which the performance control CPU 120 executes the "full rotation performance" is the same as that of jackpot in time-saving state A. This is higher than the rate at which the production control CPU 120 executes the "full rotation production" (for example, 0% (not executed)) when "Jackpot C (10R)" is determined as the type, and the jackpot type in the probability variable state. It is higher than the ratio (for example, 0% (not executed)) at which the performance control CPU 120 executes the "full rotation performance" when "Jackpot C (10R)" is determined as "Jackpot C (10R)".

According to item (D4), in time-saving state B, which is controlled through a variable display of a specific number of times, the number of rounds is higher than in jackpot A and jackpot B, considering that the period in which the control is not controlled by the jackpot gaming state continues for a long time. When it is decided to control the jackpot C, which is highly advantageous for many players, a special variable display "All Since "rotation performance" is more easily executed, a suitable time-saving state B can be provided.

In addition, in this embodiment, when "Jackpot C (10R)" is determined as the jackpot type in the time saving state B, the ratio at which the performance control CPU 120 executes the "full rotation performance" is 100%. Although illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and when "Jackpot C (10R)" is determined as the jackpot type in time saving state B, the performance control CPU 120 executes the "full rotation performance". If the ratio is higher than the ratio at which the performance control CPU 120 executes the "full rotation performance" when "Jackpot C (10R)" is determined as the jackpot type in the time saving state A or the variable probability state, the percentage is less than 100%. It may also be executed in proportion. Further, when "Jackpot C (10R)" is determined as the jackpot type in the time saving state A or the variable probability state, the performance control CPU 120 may be able to execute the "full rotation performance".

(Explanation regarding transformation and application of characteristic part 069SG)

If the type is a variable jackpot, it may be a pachinko machine that is controlled to a variable probability state from the end of a jackpot game until it is controlled to the next jackpot, or it may be controlled to a variable probability state from the end of a jackpot game until it wins a probability variable lottery. It may also be a pachinko game machine that is controlled. In addition, a so-called 1 type 2 type gaming machine may be applied that can be controlled to a jackpot gaming state by generating a V prize triggered by a small win in a time saving state after the end of a jackpot game, and the gaming properties can be changed in various ways. It is possible.

In addition, in the feature section 069SG, a form in which time-saving state A, variable probability state, and time-saving state B are applied as special states in which variable display is executed more frequently than non-special states (for example, normal state) is exemplified; The invention is not limited to this, and four or more types of game states other than those described above may be applied.

In addition, in the characteristic part 069SG, a first special state that is controlled when an advantageous state controlled from a non-special state (for example, a normal state, a low probability/low base state) ends, and an advantageous state in a non-special state As a second special state that is controlled on the condition that variable display is executed a specific number of times without being controlled by Although the present invention is not limited to this example, the present invention is not limited to this, and the probability variable state (first special state) with a high probability and high base and the time saving state B with a low probability and high base are illustrated. (Relief time reduction (second special state)) may be applied.

In addition, in the characteristic part 069SG, a form in which a variable probability state is applied as the third special state that is controlled when the advantageous state controlled from the first special state or the second special state ends is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this; for example, in the case of a pachinko game machine of type 1 or 2, a time saving state different from the time saving state as the first special state {for example, execution of the time saving state than the first special state A short-time state in which the number of times is large (the control period is long), etc.) may be applied.

Furthermore, in the feature section 069SG, at least one of the first special state, the second special state, and the third special state is a plurality of types in which, for example, the number of executions of time saving control, the frequency of execution of variable display, etc. are different.

As long as it is a gaming state in which the execution frequency is low, it is not limited to the low certainty/low base state, but may be a high certainty base state, a low certainty/high base state, etc.

In addition, in the feature section 069SG, the time saving state B (relief time saving state) as the second special state is variablely displayed a specific number of times (for example, 900 times) without being controlled to an advantageous state in the non-special state. Although the embodiment has been exemplified in which the control is performed on the condition that the number of times is 1 to 1, the present invention is not limited to this, and the specific number of times can be changed in various ways. Further, the control may be performed when another condition is satisfied in addition to the above-mentioned conditions.

In addition, in the characteristic part 069SG, in the time-saving state B, the time-saving state A, and the variable probability state, the average common symbol fluctuation time (the period in which the common symbol is varied), the probability of "hitting a common symbol" in the common symbol game, the 2. Without changing the control that makes it easier for game balls to enter the winning opening (high opening control, high base control), the average special symbol fluctuation time (period for varying the special symbol) in time-saving state B is changed to the definite fluctuation state. Although the embodiment has been exemplified in which the variation efficiency of special symbols (especially the second special symbol) is improved by executing control to shorten the time compared to the time saving state A, the present invention is not limited to this, and the time saving state B In, the average normal pattern fluctuation time (period for changing the normal pattern), the probability of hitting the normal pattern in the normal pattern game, the control that makes it easier for the game ball to enter the second starting prize opening (high opening control, The variation efficiency of the special symbols (especially the second special symbol) may be further improved by making at least one of the high base control) different from the probability variable state or the time saving state A.

Further, in the characteristic section 069SG, the CPU 103 sets the variable display mode to a specific mode (for example, reach mode) and then displays a first non-specific variable display pattern (for example, "SP reach A - E, etc.) and a second non-specific variable display pattern (e.g., "non-reach, off") that displays an out-of-reach display result without setting the variable display mode to a specific mode. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the first non-specific variable display pattern and the second non-specific variable display pattern may include types of variation patterns other than those described above. Further, as a variation pattern, a first specific variable display pattern (for example, "SP reach A to C, E jackpot", etc.) in which the variable display mode is set to a specific mode (for example, reach mode) and then a missed display result is displayed; Determine a second non-specific variable display pattern (for example, "SP reach D (immediate hit or full rotation)", "SP non-via", etc.) that displays a missed display result without changing the variable display mode to a specific mode. Although possible forms have been illustrated, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the first specific variable display pattern and the second specific variable display pattern may include types of variation patterns other than those described above.

Furthermore, the "specific mode" is not limited to the "reach mode", and includes, for example, "chance mode (for example, 133, etc.)," "pseudo-link mode (for example, 122, etc.)," "normal reach mode," and "normal reach mode." It may include various aspects such as "Aspect" and "Super Reach Aspect."

In addition, in the characteristic section 069SG, a form in which "movable object notice" and "character notice" are applied as a suggestive effect that suggests that the jackpot game state is controlled is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this. If it is a performance that suggests that the game will be controlled into a jackpot game state, it may include various performances such as stop symbol announcements, pseudo-continuation announcements, dialogue announcements, operation announcements, reach announcements, and look-ahead announcements. You can stay there.

In addition, in the feature section 069SG, "countdown notice", "holding change notice", and "symbol chance notice" are provided as advance notice effects that suggest that the pending memory stored in the pending memory will be controlled in an advantageous state. , an example is given in which an "effect display notice" is applied; however, the present invention is not limited to this, and may include various reading notices such as "continuous effect" or "foreshadowing effect". good.

Further, in the feature section 069SG, a form in which a "button notice" and a "right/fail button performance" are applied as action promotion effects to encourage the player's actions has been exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the above-mentioned It may also include various effects other than the above. Furthermore, the "player's actions" are not limited to the operation of the push button 31B, but include effects that prompt the operation of other operation means (for example, a touch panel, etc.) provided other than the push button 31B, and operations. Instead, it may be an effect that encourages the player's actions (movements).

In addition, in the feature section 069SG, "patterns A-2, A-3" are provided as an example of a first performance execution pattern in which a "movable object performance" is executed as a specific performance after the "pass/fail button" is executed as a movement promotion performance. Although the embodiment in which "Pattern A-1" is applied as an example of a second performance execution pattern in which a specific performance is executed without performing a motion promotion performance is applied, the present invention is limited to this. Instead, other operation promotion effects such as "button notice" may be applied as action promotion effects, or effects other than "movable body effects" (for example, battle results in SP reach effects) may be applied as specific effects. You may.

Further, in the feature section 069SG, an example is given in which an operation promotion display for a "one-hit" operation is applied as the first action promotion effect that prompts the player to make one action, but the present invention is not limited to this. Rather than encouraging the player to perform a single push operation, the player may be encouraged to perform a single pull operation, rotation operation, reciprocating operation, or the like.

Furthermore, in the feature section 069SG, an example is given in which an operation promotion display for "repeat hit" or "long press" operation is applied as a second action promotion effect that prompts the player to perform an action over a predetermined action period. The invention is not limited to this, but may be one that promotes a pulling operation, a rotation operation, a reciprocating operation, etc. over a predetermined operation period. Further, the operation over a predetermined operation period is not necessarily limited to an operation detected continuously, and may include operations performed intermittently, operations according to a predetermined pattern, and the like.

In addition, in the characteristic section 069SG, a form in which "character notice" and "reach notice" are applied as an effect including an inciting effect that incites whether or not to make the variable display mode a specific mode is exemplified. This is not limited to, but is also a production that encourages "chance position (e.g., 133)," "pseudo-linked form (e.g., 122, etc.)," "normal reach form," or "super reach form." It may include various effects such as.

Furthermore, in the feature section 069SG, in the subsequent performance, the expected number of balls to be released is reported as gaming value information that can specify the magnitude of the gaming value that will be given in the advantageous state that is reported to be controlled in the specific performance. Although illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the number of rounds in the jackpot game state (for example, 6R, 10R, etc.) may be notified. In addition, in a state where there are consecutive jackpots such as a jackpot occurring in a variable probability state, the expected total number of balls to be played in the current jackpot plus the total number of balls to be played during the prescribed consecutive jackpot period. The number of pitches etc. may also be displayed.

In addition, in the feature section 069SG, when the special state control is started, a special state start display is displayed to notify the start of the special state control, as a special state start performance, a rush introduction production, a fixed change entry production, etc. , a time-saving rush performance A, a time-saving rush performance B, and a shutter performance have been exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to these, and various rush performances other than the above may be possible. Furthermore, the performance mode of each rush performance is not limited to the above, and can be changed in various ways.

In addition, in the feature section 069SG, although the definite variable entry performance and the time-saving entry performance A are separate performances, the present invention is not limited to this, and the definite variable entry performance and the time-saving entry performance A are may be used as a common rush effect.

In addition, in the feature section 069SG, an example is given in which the rush introduction effect is not executed when the time saving rush effect B is executed, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the rush introduction effect is performed instead of the shutter effect. It may also be executed. Also, when executing the time-saving rush effect B, the rush introduction effect may be executed. In this case, in order to eliminate the troublesomeness of the performance, it is preferable to use a rush introduction performance that has a shorter performance period compared to the case where the variable entry performance or the time-saving rush performance A is executed.

In addition, in the feature section 069SG, as an example of a first advantageous state and a second advantageous state that is more advantageous to the player than the first advantageous state, jackpots A and B (with different numbers of gaming rounds in the jackpot gaming state) Although a form in which the first advantageous state) and jackpot C (second advantageous state) are applied is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the degree of advantage for the player is higher than the first advantageous state. The second advantageous state is not only a jackpot where the player has a high advantage in the jackpot gaming state, such as the number of game rounds or the expected number of balls that can be acquired, but also a gaming state after the end of the jackpot gaming state that is advantageous to the player. (For example, a jackpot in which the time saving control after the jackpot game state is long, or a jackpot controlled by a "small win rush" in which the execution frequency of the small win game state becomes high after the jackpot ends, etc.) may be used. .

(Explanation regarding characteristic part 099SG)
Next, the pachinko gaming machine 1 having the feature section 099SG in this embodiment will be explained based on FIGS. 12-1 to 12-22. In this feature section 099SG, illustrations and detailed explanations of the same configurations as those of the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the feature section 069SG will be omitted, and differences will be mainly explained. Furthermore, the characteristic configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 1 having the feature section 099SG described below can be applied to the pachinko gaming machine 1 having the feature section 069SG.

The pachinko game machine 1 in this characteristic part 099SG is formed in the left game area on the left side of the image display device 5 on the game board 2, where the game ball can flow down, like the pachinko game machine 1 shown in FIG. 11-1. The right side of the image display device 5 on the game board 2 is formed in a right game area where game balls can flow down. In other words, in the pachinko game machine 1 according to the present feature part 099SG, the game ball weakly launched by the firing device due to the normal game state flows down the first path in the left game area, and the game ball is in the time saving state. A, the time-saving state B, and the game ball that is strongly launched by the firing device due to being in the variable probability state flows down the second path in the right gaming area. In addition, some of the game balls flowing down the second route in the right game area can pass through a gate 41 provided on the second route (on the right side of the image display device 5). Based on the passage of 41, variable display of normal symbols is executed. Then, based on the variable display result of the normal symbol becoming a hit (ordinary symbol hit), the second starting prize opening provided on the second path changes from the closed state to the open state, and the second starting prize opening is changed from the closed state to the open state. Game balls can be won in the winning slot. Note that in this feature section 099SG, "variable display" may be referred to as "variation" or "variable display".

FIG. 12-1(A) is an explanatory diagram illustrating a random value counted on the main board 11 side in this feature section 099SG. As shown in FIG. 12-1(A), in this feature part 099SG, on the main board 11 side, random number MR1 for determining the special figure display result, random number MR2 for determining the jackpot type, and random number MR2 for determining the fluctuation pattern. Numerical data representing each of a random number MR3, a random number MR4 for determining the normal figure display result, and a random number MR5 for determining the initial value of MR4 is controlled to be countable. Note that random numbers other than these may be used to enhance the gaming effect. The random numbers used to control the progress of the game are also referred to as gaming random numbers.

The random number circuit 104 may be one that counts numerical data indicating some or all of these random numbers MR1 to MR4. 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 section (not shown), to update various numerical data by software, thereby updating the random numbers MR1 to MR4. Numerical data indicating a portion may be counted.

The random number value MR1 for determining the special pattern display result is a random number value used to determine whether or not to control a variable display result such as a special pattern in a special pattern game as a "jackpot" into a jackpot game state. For example, It takes a value in the range of "0" to "65535". The random number MR2 for determining the jackpot type is a random number used to determine the jackpot type as one of "jackpot A", "jackpot B", and "jackpot C" when the variable display result is "jackpot". For example, it takes a value in the range of "0" to "299".

The random number value MR3 for determining the variation pattern is a random number value used to determine the variation pattern in the variable display of special symbols and decorative symbols to one of multiple types prepared in advance, and is, for example, "0" to " Takes a value in the range of 99.

The random number MR4 for determining the general pattern display result is used to determine whether the variable display result in the general pattern game by the normal pattern display 20 is to be "normal pattern hit" or "normal pattern hit". This is a random number value, for example, in the range of "3" to "13".

The random number MR5 for determining the initial value of MR4 is a random number used to determine the initial value of the random number MR4, and takes a value in the range of "3" to "23".

FIG. 12-1(B) shows an example of the structure of the special figure display result determination table stored in the ROM 101. In this feature section 099SG, a common special figure display result judgment table is used for the first special figure and the second special figure as the special figure display result judgment table, but the present invention is not limited to this. , separate special figure display result determination tables may be used for the first special figure and the second special figure.

The special figure display result determination table is a variable display result and a special figure game using the first special figure by the first special figure display device 4A and a special figure game using the second special figure by the second special figure display device 4B. Before the finalized special symbol is derived and displayed, it is referred to in order to determine whether or not to control the variable display result as a "jackpot" into a jackpot game state based on the random number MR1 for determining the special symbol display result. This is the table that will be used.

In the special figure display result determination table in this feature section 099SG, the special figure display results are determined depending on whether the gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is a normal state, a time-saving state (low probability state), or a variable probability state (high probability state). A numerical value (judgment value) that is compared with the random number MR1 for determining the figure display result is assigned to the special figure display result of "big hit" or "miss".

In the special figure display result determination table, the table data indicating the determination value to be compared with the random number MR1 for determining the special figure display result is used to determine whether or not to treat the special figure display result as a "jackpot" and control it to a jackpot gaming state. This is the judgment data assigned to the result. In the special figure display result determination table in this feature section 099SG, when the gaming state is in a variable probability state (high probability state), more judgment values are determined as " It is assigned to the special figure display result of "Jackpot". As a result, in a variable probability state (high probability state) in which probability variable control is performed in the pachinko game machine 1, when the pachinko game machine 1 is in a normal state or a time saving state (low probability state), the special figure display result is set as a "jackpot" and the jackpot game state is controlled. Then, compared to the probability determined (approximately 1/319.68 in this feature part 099SG), the probability that the special figure display result is determined as a "jackpot" and the jackpot game state is controlled becomes higher (in this feature part 099SG) Approximately 1/80.02). That is, in the special figure display result determination table, when the gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is a variable probability state (high probability state), it is determined that control is to be made into a jackpot gaming state compared to when it is in a normal state or a time saving state. In order to increase the probability, the determination data is assigned to the determination result of whether or not to control the jackpot game state.

FIGS. 12-1 (C1) and 12-1 (C2) show examples of the structure of the jackpot type determination table stored in the ROM 101. FIG. 12-1 (C1) shows that when the variable display result is determined to be a "jackpot" and the control is controlled to a jackpot gaming state during execution of the variable display of the first special symbol, the random value MR2 for jackpot type determination is This is a table that is referred to in order to determine the jackpot type from jackpot A and jackpot B based on the table. This is a table that is referred to in order to determine the jackpot type from jackpot B and jackpot C based on the random number value MR2 for jackpot type determination when it is decided to control the jackpot game state as ``.''.

Here, the jackpot type in this feature section 099SG will be explained using FIG. 12-1(D). In this feature section 099SG, as jackpot types, jackpot A, jackpot B, and jackpot C are provided, in which time-saving control is executed over a maximum of 110 variable displays after the jackpot game state ends. In addition, these jackpot A, jackpot B, and jackpot C can be achieved by entering the V winning hole after the game ball enters the second big winning hole in the first round of the jackpot game state, and the maximum after the end of the jackpot game. This is also a jackpot in which variable probability control is executed over 110 variable displays.

In this characteristic part 099SG, the open state of the variable V winning ball device (V lid) includes a short open state in which the period of being in the open state is short (for example, 0.1 seconds), and a long open state in which the period of being in the open state is long. state (for example, 15 seconds). Jackpot A is when the variable V winning ball device is in the short open state in the first round of the jackpot game state, and jackpot B and jackpot C are when the variable V winning ball device is in the long open state in the first round of the jackpot gaming state. shall be.

The jackpot game state due to "Jackpot A" changes the second big prize opening to an open state that is advantageous to the player in the first round, and changes the first big prize opening to an advantageous state for the player in the second to sixth rounds. It is a normal open jackpot that changes to an open state. In addition, in "Jackpot A", since the variable V winning ball device is in a short-circuit open state in the first round, it is extremely difficult to put the game ball into the V winning hole, and the probability variable control is not executed. Since you can't expect it, it's essentially a regular jackpot.

The jackpot game state due to "Jackpot B" changes the second jackpot in the first round to an open state that is advantageous for the player, and the first jackpot in the second to sixth rounds that is advantageous to the player. It is a normal open jackpot that changes to an open state. In addition, in "Jackpot B", the variable V winning ball device is in the long open state in the first round, so it is extremely easy to put the game ball into the V winning hole, and the probability variable control is not executed. Since you can expect it, it will be a real surefire jackpot.

The jackpot game state due to "Jackpot C" changes the second big prize opening into an open state that is advantageous for the player in the first round, and the first big prize opening is changed to an open state that is advantageous for the player in the second to 10th rounds. It is a normal open jackpot that changes to an open state. In addition, in "Jackpot C", the variable V winning ball device is in the long open state in the first round, so it is extremely easy to put the game ball into the V winning hole, and the probability variable control is not executed. Since you can expect it, it will be a real surefire jackpot.

In addition, in this embodiment, although the form in which three types of jackpot A to jackpot C are provided as jackpot types is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the number of jackpot types is two or less, or Four or more types may be provided.

Also, as shown in Figure 12-3 (B1), in the jackpot type judgment table (for the first special symbol), out of the range of judgment values of MR2 from 0 to 299, 0 to 149 are assigned to jackpot A. 150 to 299 are assigned to jackpot B. On the other hand, as shown in Figure 12-3 (B2), in the jackpot type judgment table (for the second special symbol), out of the judgment value range 0 to 299 of MR2, 0 to 99 are assigned to jackpot B. 100 to 299 are assigned to jackpot C.

In other words, in this feature part 099SG, if the variable special symbol is the first special symbol, the game ball will be in a state where it is easy to enter the V winning hole in the first round of the jackpot game state at a rate of 50%, After the jackpot game ends, both probability change control and time saving control are carried out. Furthermore, if the variable special symbol is the second special symbol, the game ball will be in a state where it is easy to enter the V winning hole in the first round of the jackpot game state with a probability of 100%, and the probability change control will be performed after the jackpot game ends. and time-saving control are both implemented.

In this feature section 099SG, even if the jackpot A is achieved, it is possible to win a V prize when the V lid is short-circuited, but it is extremely rare. will be explained assuming that there is no V winning and probability variable control is not executed. In addition, even in the case of jackpot B and jackpot C, it is possible but extremely rare that you will not be able to win a prize when the V lid is in a long open state, so it will be jackpot B and jackpot C. In this case, the description will be made on the assumption that V is won and probability variable control is executed.

In addition, in this feature section 099SG, the jackpot type is determined using MR2, which is a random number value for jackpot type determination, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the jackpot type is determined by the special figure display result. The determination may be made using MR1, which is a random value for determination.

Figure 12-2 (A) shows whether the variable display result of the normal symbol is a hit (ordinary symbol hit) based on the fact that the variable display of the normal symbol is executed when the gaming state is the normal state. 12-2 (B) is a normal symbol hit determination table that is referred to in order to determine whether the normal symbol hits or not. This is a normal symbol hit determination table that is referred to in order to determine whether or not the variable display result of the normal symbol is a hit (ordinary symbol hit) based on the execution of the variable display.

In addition, the time saving state B in this feature part 099SG means that when the gaming state is in the normal state (low probability/low base state in which neither probability change control nor time saving control is executed), it is variable 900 times without being controlled to the jackpot gaming state. This is a gaming state that is controlled when a display is executed, and is a time-saving state A (low accuracy/high base state) in which time-saving control is executed over a maximum of 1100 variable displays.

In the normal symbol hit determination table shown in Figure 12-2 (A), out of the range 3 to 13 of the random number MR4 for normal symbol hit determination, 3 is assigned to a hit, and 4 to 13 is assigned to a miss. ing. On the other hand, in the normal symbol hit determination table shown in FIG. 12-2(B), out of the range 3 to 13 of the random number MR4 for normal symbol hit determination, 3 to 12 are assigned to a win, and 13 is assigned to a win. It is assigned to the outskirts. In other words, in this feature part 099SG, the proportion per normal figure when the gaming state is any of the time-saving state A, variable probability state, and time-saving state B is higher than the proportion per common figure when the gaming state is the normal state. It is also set high.

Furthermore, as shown in Figure 12-2 (C), when the gaming state is the normal state, the fluctuation time of the normal symbols is set to 60 seconds, whereas the gaming state is the time saving state A and the variable probability state. , time saving state B, the normal symbol fluctuation time is set to 0.1 seconds. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 12-2 (D), the opening time of the second starting prize opening when a winning pattern occurs when the gaming state is normal is set to 0.1 seconds. On the other hand, the opening time of the second starting prize opening when a winning pattern occurs when the gaming state is one of time-saving state A, variable probability state, and time-saving state B is set to 3 seconds.

In other words, the time-saving state A, variable probability state, and time-saving state B in this feature part 099SG are, compared to the normal state, "the probability of winning the normal symbol is high," "the variable display time of the normal symbol is short," " Due to the long opening time of the second starting winning hole when a hit with the normal symbol occurs, it is easy for the game ball to enter the second starting winning hole, that is, the execution frequency of the variable display of the second special symbol is high. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Compared to the normal state, the time saving state A, the variable probability state, and the time saving state B have a high probability of winning a normal symbol, a ``normal Variable display of the second special symbol by satisfying at least one of the following conditions: "The variable display time of the symbol is short" and "The opening time of the second starting winning opening is long when a hit with the normal symbol occurs." may be set to have a high execution frequency.

The pachinko gaming machine 1 in this feature section 099SG is similar to the pachinko gaming machine in the feature section 069SG (see FIG. 11-1), when the gaming state is the normal state, the player moves the game ball to the left gaming area 2L. By launching the game ball toward the first starting prize hole, it is possible to enter the first starting winning hole, but it is impossible to enter the second starting winning hole, the big winning hole, passing through the gate 41, etc., and the game ball saves time. In the case of the state A, the variable probability state, or the time saving state B, the game ball can enter the second starting prize opening by the player launching the game ball toward the right gaming area 2R, and the gate 41 It is possible to pass through. In addition, when the game state is a jackpot game state, by the player launching the game ball toward the right gaming area, the game ball can enter the second starting prize opening and the big winning opening, and the gate It is possible to pass through 41.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 12-12(A), when the gaming state is the normal state, the game ball that is launched toward the left gaming area 2L is triggered by a plurality of nails etc. arranged on the gaming board 2 to start and win a prize. Since the winning probability of the game ball entering the first starting prize opening is about 5.5% (the player can continue by operating the batting operation handle (operation knob) 30). (The condition is to launch the game ball into the left game area 2L). In addition, when the game state is normal, even if the player launches the game ball toward the right game area 2R, the variable display time of the normal symbol due to the game ball passing through the gate 41 is extremely long, at 60 seconds. In addition to this, the opening time of the second starting prize opening when a normal figure hit occurs is extremely short at 0.1 seconds (see Figures 12-2 (C) and 12-2 (D)), so the game ball Winning into the second starting prize opening almost never occurs.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 12-12(B), when the gaming state is one of the time-saving state A, variable probability state, and time-saving state B, the game ball launched toward the right gaming area 2R passes through the gate 41. It is possible to pass through, and the variable display time of the normal symbol due to passing through the gate 41 is as short as 3 seconds, and the opening time of the second starting prize opening when a normal symbol occurs is 3 seconds ( (See Figures 12-2 (C) and 12-2 (D)), the winning probability of the game ball entering the second starting prize opening is approximately 55% (player's batting ball operation handle (operation knob) The condition is that the game ball be continuously launched into the right game area 2R by the operation of step 30).

FIG. 12-3 is a diagram showing a variation pattern used in the variable display of the special symbol of this feature section 099SG. In this feature part 099SG, as shown in Figure 12-3, the variation pattern when the variable display result is off is that the special figure variation time is 1500ms for super shortened non-reach, and the special figure variation time is 3000ms for shortened non-reach. Reach A is off, special figure variation time shortened by 5000ms Non-reach B is off, special figure variation time is 7000ms non-reach A is off, special figure variation time is 12000ms non-reach B is off, special figure variation time is 45000ms super reach A is off, super reach B is off with a special pattern variation time of 80000ms, super reach C is off with a special pattern variation time of 4000ms, super reach D is off with a special pattern variation time of 25000ms, super reach E is off with a special pattern variation time of 50000ms. Each variation pattern is provided. Incidentally, the variation pattern from super reach A off to super reach E off is also a variation pattern in which a reach effect of super reach is executed during variable display.

In addition, as a variation pattern when the variable display result becomes a jackpot, there is a 7000ms variable display in which the super reach reach effect is not executed, followed by a 15000ms jackpot notification period (the special symbol variation time is 7000ms + 15000ms) without super reach. A jackpot, super reach reach effect is not executed, there is a 15000ms jackpot notification period after a variable display of 15000ms (special symbol fluctuation time 12000ms + 15000ms) B jackpot, super reach reach effect is executed, 45000ms There is a jackpot notification period of 15,000 ms after the variable display (the special figure fluctuation time is 45,000 ms + 15,000 ms), a super reach A jackpot, which has a jackpot notification period of 15,000 ms after the variable display of 80,000 ms in which the super reach reach effect is executed (the special figure fluctuation time is 45,000 ms + 15,000 ms). Super Reach B jackpot (with figure fluctuation time of 80,000ms + 15,000ms), Super Reach C jackpot (with special figure fluctuation time of 40,000ms + 15,000ms), which has a jackpot notification period of 15,000ms after the variable display of 40,000ms in which the reach effect of Super Reach is executed; Super Reach D jackpot, which has a 15,000ms jackpot notification period after the 25,000ms variable display where the Super Reach reach effect is executed (the special symbol fluctuation time is 25,000ms + 15,000ms), a 50,000ms variable display where the Super Reach reach effect is executed. After that, each variation pattern of the Super Reach E jackpot is provided, which has a jackpot notification period of 15,000 ms (the special symbol variation time is 50,000 ms + 15,000 ms). In addition, the variation pattern of Super Reach A is a variation pattern in which a bowling performance is executed as a reach performance in which an ally character and an enemy character perform bowling to notify whether or not they have won the jackpot. , Super Reach C, and Super Reach E are fluctuation patterns in which, as a reach effect, a battle effect is executed to notify whether or not a jackpot has been won by a battle between an ally character and an enemy character, The variable pattern of Super Reach D is a reach effect in which an ally character and an enemy character engage in a shorter battle than the battle effects in the variable patterns of Super Reach B, Super Reach C, and Super Reach E to win the jackpot. This is a fluctuating pattern that executes a short battle performance that notifies you of the presence or absence of the enemy.

The RAM 102 in this feature section 099SG includes a game control data holding area 099SG150 as shown in FIG. is provided. The game control data holding area 099SG150 shown in FIG. 12-4 includes a first special symbol reservation storage section 099SG151A, a second special symbol reservation storage section 099SG151B, a regular symbol reservation storage section 099SG151C, and a game control flag setting section 099SG152. , a game control timer setting section 099SG153, a game control counter setting section 099SG154, and a game control buffer setting section 099SG155.

The first special figure reservation storage unit 099SG151A stores special figures that have not yet started even though a game ball has passed (entered) the first starting prize opening formed by the winning ball device 6A and a starting prize (first starting prize) has occurred. Stores pending data of a figure game (a special figure game using the first special figure on the first special figure display device 4A). As an example, the first special figure reservation storage unit 099SG151A associates the winning order (game ball detection order) to the first starting prize opening with the reservation number, and sets the first starting condition for the passing (entering) of the game ball. Numerical data indicating the random number MR1 for determining the special figure display result, the random number MR2 for determining the type of jackpot, the random number MR3 for determining the fluctuation pattern, etc., extracted from the random number circuit 104 etc. by the CPU 103 based on the establishment of the pattern, are held as pending data. , and are stored until the number reaches a predetermined upper limit (for example, "4"). In addition, the upper limit that can store pending data (pending memory) in the second special figure pending storage section 099SG151B is always 4 regardless of the gaming state. The pending data stored in the first special figure pending storage unit 099SG151A indicates that the execution of the special figure game using the first special figure is on hold, and the variable display result (special figure display) in this special figure game is suspended. This is pending information that makes it possible to determine whether or not there will be a jackpot based on the result).

The second special figure reservation storage unit 099SG151B indicates that the game ball has passed (entered) the second starting prize opening formed by the variable winning ball device 6B and a starting prize (second starting prize) has occurred, but it has not started yet. Stores pending data of a special figure game (a special figure game using the second special figure on the second special figure display device 4B). As an example, the second special figure reservation storage unit 099SG151B associates the winning order (game ball detection order) to the second starting prize opening with the reservation number, and sets the second starting condition for the passage (approach) of the game ball. Numerical data indicating the random number MR1 for determining the special figure display result, the random number MR2 for determining the type of jackpot, the random number MR3 for determining the fluctuation pattern, etc., extracted from the random number circuit 104 etc. by the CPU 103 based on the establishment of the pattern, are held as pending data. is stored until the number reaches a predetermined upper limit (for example, "4"). In addition, the upper limit that can store pending data (pending memory) in the second special figure pending storage section 099SG151B is always 4 regardless of the gaming state. The pending data stored in the second special figure pending storage unit 099SG151B indicates that the execution of the special figure game using the second special figure is on hold, and the variable display result (special figure display) in this special figure game is suspended. This is pending information that makes it possible to determine whether or not it will be a jackpot based on the result).

In other words, in this feature section 099SG, a maximum of four reservation memories can be stored as the first special symbol reservation memory (retention memory that can be stored in the first special symbol reservation memory section 099SG151A), and the second special symbol reservation memory (Suspension memories that can be stored in the second special figure reservation storage section 099SG151B) are capable of storing a maximum of four reservation memories.

In addition, there is hold information (first hold information) based on the establishment of the first starting condition due to the game ball passing (entering) the first starting winning opening, and holding information (first holding information) based on the establishment of the first starting condition due to the gaming ball passing (entering) the second starting winning opening. The reservation information (second reservation information) based on the establishment of the second starting prize may be stored in a common reservation storage unit in association with the reservation number. In this case, starting hole data indicating whether the game ball passed through (entered) the first starting winning hole or the second starting winning hole may be included in the hold information and stored in association with the holding number. .

In addition, when executing the variable display, the CPU 103 first inputs random numbers MR1 to MR3 from the second special symbol reservation storage section 099SG151B if the second special symbol reservation memory exists in the special symbol normal processing (see FIG. 6). After reading out, the storage contents of the second special figure reservation storage section 099SG151B are shifted. In other words, when the random numbers MR1 to MR3 are stored as the reservation memory of reservation number 1 in the second special figure reservation storage section 099SG151B, the CPU 103 stores the random numbers MR1 to MR3 stored as the reservation memory of reservation number 1 in the second special figure reservation storage section 099SG151B. At the same time as reading out the values of MR1 to random number MR3, the pending memory of the pending number 1 is erased, and the pending memory stored as the pending memory of pending number 2 is used as the pending memory of pending number 1 and the pending memory of pending number 3. The stored suspension memory is re-stored as suspension memory of suspension number 2, and the suspension memory stored as suspension memory of suspension number 4 is re-stored as suspension memory of suspension number 3.

Further, if no pending memory is stored in the second special figure pending storage section 099SG151B, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the first special figure pending memory exists. When the first special figure reservation memory exists, after reading the random numbers MR1 to MR3 from the first special figure reservation storage section 099SG151A, the storage contents of the first special figure reservation storage section 099SG151A are shifted. In other words, when the random numbers MR1 to MR3 are stored as the reservation memory of the reservation number 1 in the first special figure reservation storage section 099SG151A, the CPU 103 stores the random numbers MR1 to MR3 stored as the reservation memory of the reservation number 1 in the first special figure reservation storage section 099SG151A. At the same time as reading out the values of MR1 to random number MR3, the pending memory of the pending number 1 is erased, and the pending memory stored as the pending memory of pending number 2 is used as the pending memory of pending number 1 and the pending memory of pending number 3. The stored suspension memory is re-stored as suspension memory of suspension number 2, and the suspension memory stored as suspension memory of suspension number 4 is re-stored as suspension memory of suspension number 3.

Then, the CPU 103 determines the variable display result based on the random number MR1 read from the first special figure reservation storage unit 099SG151A or the second special figure reservation storage unit 099SG151B (if the variable display result is a jackpot, the random number value After determining the jackpot type based on MR2), in the fluctuation pattern determination process (see Figure 6), different fluctuation patterns are determined depending on the gaming state, variable display results, and the number of reserved memories of special symbols for which variable display is to be executed. A fluctuation pattern is determined using a determination table.

In other words, in the feature section 099SG, the CPU 103 can determine the variation pattern in accordance with the number of pending memories obtained by subtracting 1 from the pending memory immediately before variable display in the variation pattern setting process.

The normal figure reservation storage unit 099SG151C stores the hold information of the normal figure game which has not been started by the normal symbol display 20 even though the game ball passing through the passage gate 41 has been detected by the gate switch 21. For example, the common figure reservation storage unit 099SG151C associates the game balls with the pending numbers in the order in which they pass through the passage gate 41, and determines the common figure display result extracted from the random number circuit 104 etc. by the CPU 103 based on the passing of the game balls. Numerical data indicating the random number MR4 for the purpose is stored as pending data until the number reaches a predetermined upper limit (for example, "4").

The game control flag setting section 099SG152 is provided with a plurality of types of flags whose states can be updated according to the progress of the game in the pachinko game machine 1. For example, the game control flag setting unit 099SG152 stores data indicating the value of the flag and data indicating the on state or off state for each of a plurality of types of flags including the above-mentioned ball release state flag.

The game control timer setting section 099SG153 is provided with various timers used to control the progress of the game in the pachinko game machine 1. For example, the game control timer setting section 099SG153 stores data indicating timer values for each of a plurality of types of timers.

The game control counter setting section 099SG154 is provided with a plurality of types of counters for counting count values used to control the progress of the game in the pachinko game machine 1. For example, the game control counter setting section 099SG154 stores data indicating count values for each of a plurality of types of counters. Here, the game control counter setting unit 099SG154 may be provided with a random counter for counting part or all of the gaming random numbers so that the CPU 103 can update them by software.

The random counter of the game control counter setting unit 099SG154 stores random numbers not generated by the random number circuit 104, for example, numerical data indicating random numbers MR2 to MR4, as a random count value, and according to the execution of software by the CPU 103, Numerical data indicating each random value is updated regularly or irregularly. The software executed by the CPU 103 to update the random count value may be for updating the random count value separately from the numerical data updating operation in the random number circuit 104, or may be for updating the random count value separately from the numerical data updating operation in the random number circuit 104, or may be for updating the random count value separately from the numerical data updating operation in the random number circuit 104. The random count value may be updated by performing predetermined processing such as scrambling processing or arithmetic processing on all or part of the numerical data obtained.

The game control buffer setting unit 099SG155 is provided with various buffers that temporarily store data used to control the progress of the game in the pachinko game machine 1. For example, the game control buffer setting unit 099SG155 stores data indicating buffer values in each of a plurality of types of buffers.

Next, a variable pattern determination table used when performing variable display of special symbols will be explained. As shown in FIGS. 12-5 to 12-11, this feature section 099SG has the following features: the game state when variable display of special symbols is executed, and the number of reserved memories of special symbols for which variable display of special symbols is executed. Accordingly, the variation pattern can be determined using different variation pattern determination tables.

Specifically, when the gaming state is normal, the variable display result is a loss, and the number of reserved special symbols for which variable display is executed is 0 to 2, the loss variation shown in Figure 12-5 (A) is applied. Using pattern determination table A, a variation pattern is determined from the variation patterns of non-reach B being off, super reach A being off, and super reach B being off. In addition, in the fluctuation pattern determination table A for failure, 97 numerical values are assigned to the fluctuation pattern for non-reach B among the possible values of the random value MR3 for fluctuation pattern determination, and 2 numerical values are assigned to the fluctuation pattern for non-reach B. Super reach A is assigned to a variation pattern that is off, and one numerical value is assigned to a variation pattern that is off super reach B. In other words, if the gaming state is normal, the variable display result is off, and the number of reserved memories of special symbols that execute variable display is 0 to 2, the variation pattern will be non-reach B out of reach 97% of the time. Super reach A is determined to be a variation pattern that is off at a rate of 2%, and super reach B is determined to be a variation pattern that is off at a rate of 1%.

In addition, if the gaming state is normal, the variable display result is a failure, and the number of reserved special symbols for which variable display is executed is 3, use the failure variation pattern determination table B shown in Figure 12-5 (B). The fluctuation pattern is determined from the fluctuation patterns of shortened non-reach B is off, super reach A is off, and super reach B is off. In addition, in the fluctuation pattern determination table B for a loss, among the possible values of the random value MR3 for fluctuation pattern determination, 97 numerical values are assigned to the fluctuation pattern for a shortened non-reach B, and 2 numerical values are is assigned to the variation pattern that is out of super reach A, and one numerical value is assigned to the variation pattern that is out of super reach B. In other words, if the gaming state is normal, the variable display result is off, and the number of reserved memories for special symbols that execute variable display is 3, the variation pattern will become a variation pattern of shortened non-reach B that is off at a rate of 97%. Super reach A is determined to be a variation pattern that is off at a rate of 2%, and super reach B is determined to be a variation pattern that is off at a rate of 1%.

In addition, if the gaming state is normal and the variable display result is a jackpot, regardless of the number of reserved memories for the special symbol that executes the variable display (even if the number of reserved memories is between 0 and 3), ), using the jackpot variation pattern determination table A, the variation pattern is determined from the variation patterns of super reach non-via B jackpot, super reach A jackpot, and super reach B jackpot. In addition, in the jackpot fluctuation pattern determination table A, among the possible values of the random number MR3 for fluctuation pattern determination, 10 values are assigned to the fluctuation pattern of the non-super reach B jackpot, and 40 values are assigned to the fluctuation pattern of the non-super reach B jackpot. is assigned to the variation pattern of Super Reach A jackpot, and 50 numerical values are assigned to the variation pattern of Super Reach B jackpot. In other words, if the gaming state is normal and the variable display result is a jackpot, the variation pattern will be determined to be the Super Reach non-via B jackpot variation pattern at a rate of 10%, regardless of the number of pending memories, and at a rate of 40%. At a rate of 50%, the fluctuation pattern of Super Reach A jackpot is determined, and at a rate of 50%, the fluctuation pattern of Super Reach B jackpot is determined.

In addition, if the gaming state is a definite variable state, the variable display result is off, and the number of reserved memory of special symbols for which variable display is executed is 0, use the variation pattern determination table C for loss shown in FIG. 12-6 (A). The fluctuation pattern is determined from the fluctuation patterns of non-reach A is off, super reach C is off, and super reach is D. In addition, in the fluctuation pattern determination table C for failure, 95 numerical values are assigned to the fluctuation pattern for non-reach A among the possible values of the random value MR3 for fluctuation pattern determination, and 2 numerical values are assigned to the fluctuation pattern for non-reach A. Super reach C is assigned to the off variation pattern, and three numerical values are assigned to the super reach D to the off variation pattern. In other words, if the gaming state is in a variable state, the variable display result is off, and the number of reserved memory of special symbols that execute variable display is 0, the variation pattern will be determined to be a non-reach A variation pattern at a rate of 95%. At a rate of 2%, the super reach C is determined to be a variation pattern that is off, and at a rate of 3%, the super reach D is determined to be a variation pattern that is off.

In addition, if the gaming state is a definite variable state, the variable display result is off, and the number of special symbols reserved for variable display is one, the variation pattern judgment for a loss is determined as shown in Figure 12-6 (B). Using table D, the fluctuation pattern is determined from the fluctuation patterns of shortened non-reach A is off, non-reach A is off, super reach C is off, and super reach D is off. In addition, in the deviation pattern determination table D, among the possible values of the random value MR3 for fluctuation pattern determination, 80 numerical values are assigned to the fluctuation pattern of shortened non-reach A, and 15 numerical values are are assigned to the non-reach A variation pattern, two numerical values are assigned to the super reach C variation pattern, and three numerical values are assigned to the super reach D variation pattern. In other words, if the gaming state is in a certain variable state, the variable display result is off, and the number of reserved memories for the special symbol that executes the variable display is 1, the variation pattern will change to the variation pattern in which the shortened non-reach A is off at a rate of 80%. 15% of the time, non-reach A is determined to be an out-of-reach variation pattern, 2% of the time, super reach C is decided to be an out-of-reach variation pattern, and 3% of the time, super reach D is decided to be an out-of-reach variation pattern. Ru.

In addition, if the gaming state is a variable state, the variable display result is off, and the number of reserved special symbols for which variable display is executed is 2, as shown in Figure 12-6 (C), the variation pattern judgment for loss is performed. Using table E, the variation pattern is determined from the variation patterns of shortened non-reach A is off, non-reach A is off, super reach C is off, and super reach D is off. In addition, in the fluctuation pattern determination table E for failure, 90 numerical values are assigned to the fluctuation pattern for shortening non-reach A among the possible values of the random value MR3 for fluctuation pattern determination, and 5 numerical values are are assigned to the non-reach A variation pattern, two numerical values are assigned to the super reach C variation pattern, and three numerical values are assigned to the super reach D variation pattern.

In addition, based on the variable probability state shown in FIG. 12-24 (A), this is executed in each case where the number of second special symbols held is 0 to 3 in the variable display of 110 and 1100 times in the variable probability state. When the proportion of variable display is calculated, as shown in Figure 12-28 (B), the proportion of variable display executed when the number of second special symbols pending memory is 0 (i and i') is 0.9090909. %, the ratio of variable display (j and j') executed when the number of 2nd special figure pending memory is 1 is 0.9090909%, and executed when the number of 2nd special figure pending memory is 2 The rate of variable display (k and k') is 2.7272727%, and the rate of variable display (l and l') that is executed when the number of 2nd special figure pending storage is 3 is calculated as 95.4545455%. Ru.

Therefore, as shown in Figure 12-28 (C), the average fluctuation time (γ and γ') for one fluctuation in a variable state is 8200 (ms) x 0.9090909 + 5000 (ms) x 0.9090909/100 + 4600 ( ms)×2.7272727/100+4400(ms)×95.4545455/100=4445.455(ms).

From the above, when comparing the average fluctuation time of one change in time saving state A, time saving state B, and probability variable state in pachinko gaming machine 1 in this feature part 099SG, as shown in Figure 12-29, one change in time saving state B The average fluctuation time (β and β') of 1 fluctuation in time-saving state A is shorter than the average fluctuation time (α and α') of 1 fluctuation in time-saving state A (α>β and α'>β'). The average fluctuation times (β and β') of are set shorter than the average fluctuation times (γ and γ') of one fluctuation in the definite variable state (γ>β and γ'>β').

Also, if the total average fluctuation time when performing 110 fluctuation displays in time saving state B is the period value ψ, the period value ψ is β (or β') x 110 = 1607.773 (ms) x 110 =176855.03 (ms). Also, if the total average fluctuation time when performing 110 fluctuation displays in a variable state is the period value ω, then the period value ω is γ (or γ') x 110 = 4445.455 (ms) x 110 = It is calculated as 489000.05 (ms).

In addition, in the case where 110 fluctuations are executed in each of the time saving state A, time saving state B, and variable probability state, and the number of second special symbols pending is 2, it is necessary to display the 110 fluctuations.

In other words, in the time saving state A, time saving state B, and variable probability state in this feature part 099SG, when the number of 2nd special figure reservations is 0 and the number of fluctuations is 110 or 1100 times, the 2nd special figure reservation When performing 110 or 1100 fluctuations with the number of stored items being 1, hold the 2nd special pattern.When performing fluctuations 110 or 1100 times with the number of stored items being 2, hold the 2nd special pattern. When performing 110 or 1100 fluctuations with the number of memorized items being 3, time-saving state B is set to have the highest special symbol fluctuation efficiency (shortest average fluctuation display time per fluctuation). ing. Also, if the player plays the game without worrying about the number of second special symbols held in memory in the time-saving state A, time-saving state B, and variable probability state (Fig. 12-26 (B), Fig. 12-27 (B)) , when the fluctuation display is performed 110 or 1100 times for each number of retained memories at the rate shown in Figure 12-28 (B)), the time saving state B has the highest special symbol fluctuation efficiency (the average required per fluctuation). The variable display time is set short).

As mentioned above, in the pachinko game machine 1 in this feature part 099SG, in addition to the time saving state (time saving state A) and variable probability state in the conventional pachinko gaming machine, the fluctuation efficiency of special symbols is higher than in the time saving state A and the variable probability state. By being able to control the time saving state B, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the player's desire to play.

For example, in a conventional pachinko game machine, after the end of a jackpot, the probability of hitting the jackpot is a certain number of times (for example, the jackpot probability is about 1 Even if variable display is performed (approximately 3 times the jackpot probability denominator), such as 900 times in the case of /300, the machine will not be controlled to the time saving state B like the pachinko game machine 1 of this feature section 099SG. At this point, the jackpot probability denominator is already about three times higher, so the player continues to play for a long time without hitting the jackpot, and his investment is also increasing. However, this normal state (low probability/low base state) continues until a jackpot occurs, and further investment is required, which may significantly reduce the player's desire to play.

On the other hand, if it is possible to control to the time saving state B like the pachinko machine 1 of this feature part 099SG, after the jackpot ends, the jackpot will be hit in the low probability state (for example, the normal state (low probability/low base state)). When variable display is performed a specific number of times (for example, about 2.5 to 3 times the jackpot probability denominator) without being controlled, the time saving state B is controlled, and the number of times corresponding to the time saving state B (for example, 1100 times) is controlled. The time saving state B is controlled over a variable display of up to about 3.8 times the denominator of the jackpot probability. At this point, the probability of hitting the jackpot is already about three times higher, so the player continues to play for a long time without hitting the jackpot, and his investment is quite high. However, by being controlled to the time-saving state B, additional investment is suppressed and the possibility of a jackpot is increased, so it is possible to suppress a decrease in the desire to play.

In particular, in characteristic part 099SG, since the player requires a large amount of time and investment when the gaming state is controlled to the time-saving state B, in the time-saving state B, the variable display of the loss is displayed in the shortest possible time. When executed, it functions as a gaming state to shorten the period until the jackpot gaming state is controlled, so to speak, to rescue the player.

In addition, in the characteristic part 099SG, even if the number of reserved memories is fixed and consumed in any state from 0 to 3, in addition to the fact that the time saving state B has the highest fluctuation efficiency than the time saving state A or the variable probability state. Various effects (for example, countdown notice, pending change notice, pattern chance eye notice, effect display notice) explained in FIG. 11-36 of the feature section 069SG (and the drawing in which the feature points related to said FIG. 11-36 are described) The execution rate of advance preview performances such as movable body announcements, character announcements, reach announcements, button announcements, etc.) is lower than the execution rate of various performances in time saving state A and variable probability state (in feature part 099SG The execution rate of the various effects is the same as the execution rate of the various effects described in FIG. 11-36 of the feature section 069SG). Therefore, even if a player continues to play for a long time without winning a jackpot and is depressed due to high investment, if the player is controlled to time saving state B, the number of pending memories is in any state from 0 to 3. To provide a suitable time-saving state B since fluctuations can be efficiently digested with less unnecessary agitation even if the fluctuations are digested either in a fixed state or in a state where the number of pending memories is 0 to 3. be able to.

In addition, in this characteristic part 099SG, as shown in FIGS. 12-15, 12-17, 12-19, and 12-21, the average fluctuation time in time-saving state A, time-saving state B, and variable probability state is multiplied by 110. The values are calculated and compared. This means that out of the 1100 fluctuating displays in time-saving state B, the consumption time of 110 fluctuating displays (total time of 110 fluctuating displays) is longer than the digesting time of 110 fluctuating displays in time-saving state A and variable probability state. This shows that it is also short. If the duration of 110 fluctuating displays in time-saving state B is the same (or almost the same) as the duration of 110 fluctuating displays in time-saving state A or probability variable state, then the 1100 fluctuating displays in time-saving state B The time taken to complete the fluctuating display is several times longer than the time needed to display the 110 fluctuating displays in time-saving state B. Therefore, if the gaming state is controlled to time-saving state B, the time required to complete the fluctuating display becomes longer, causing inconvenience to the player. It is possible that it gives a feeling of pleasure or dissatisfaction. Therefore, the present invention prevents the player from feeling dissatisfied when the time-saving state B is controlled by making the fluctuation efficiency in the time-saving state B higher than that in the time-saving state A and the variable probability state, and as a result, it is possible to This invention aims to provide a pachinko gaming machine 1 that can control the gaming state to a time-saving state B.

Furthermore, in this characteristic part 099SG, as shown in FIGS. 12-16, 12-18, 12-20, and 12-22, the average fluctuation time in time-saving state A, time-saving state B, and variable probability state is multiplied by 1100. The values are calculated and compared. By being controlled multiple times in the time-saving state A and the variable probability state, the fluctuation display in the time-saving state A and the variable probability state is executed 1100 times, which is the same as the maximum number of fluctuation display times in the time-saving state B. Comparing the 1100 fluctuation times in state A, the 1100 fluctuation times in time saving state B, and the 1100 fluctuation times in the definite variable state shows that time saving state B has the highest fluctuation efficiency. This is to show that it is possible to suitably control the time-saving state B so as not to cause dissatisfaction.

This means that if the variable display in the time saving state A or the variable probability state is executed 1100 times, which is the same number of times as the maximum number of display fluctuations in the time saving state B, by being controlled to the time saving state A or the variable probability state multiple times, By designing the time-saving state B to have the highest fluctuation efficiency, it is shown that the time-saving state B has the highest fluctuation efficiency even when compared with the time-saving state A and the variable probability state. Therefore, it is possible to prevent dissatisfaction with the fluctuations in the time-saving state B, and as a result, the time-saving state B is suitably controlled.

In addition, as shown in Figure 12-30 (A), the period value ψ obtained by multiplying the period value β, which is the average fluctuation time of a change of 1 in the time saving state B, by 110 is the change of 1 in the time saving state A. is smaller than the period value χ obtained by multiplying the period value α, which is the average fluctuation time of Since it is set smaller than the obtained period value ω, the fluctuation efficiency of the time saving state B is higher than the fluctuation efficiency of the time saving state A and the variable probability state, thereby shortening the period until the jackpot gaming state is controlled and saving time. The player's dissatisfaction in state B can be reduced, and as a result, a suitable time-saving state B can be provided. In particular, with this feature section 099SG, as mentioned above, in time-saving state B, by increasing the fluctuation efficiency more than in time-saving state A or variable probability state, it is possible to shorten the period until the jackpot gaming state is controlled and reduce player dissatisfaction. At the same time, in the time-saving state A and variable probability state that are controlled via the jackpot game (time-saving state A and variable probability state in which a variable display with a longer special symbol fluctuation time is likely to be executed than in the time-saving state B), the jackpot game is executed during the variable display. It is possible to perform a predetermined effect over an appropriate period of time to suggest that the device is controlled by the state.

In addition, as shown in Figure 12-30 (B), the period value ψ' obtained by multiplying the period value β, which is the average fluctuation time of 1 fluctuation in time saving state B, by 1100 is It is smaller than the period value χ' obtained by multiplying the period value α, which is the average fluctuation time of the fluctuation, by 1100, and the period value ψ′ is the period value γ, which is the average fluctuation time of 1 fluctuation in the variable state, and is obtained by multiplying the period value γ by 1100. Since it is set smaller than the period value ω' obtained by multiplication, the period until it is controlled to the jackpot gaming state due to the fluctuation efficiency of time saving state B being higher than the fluctuation efficiency of time saving state A and variable probability state. By shortening the time saving state B, it is possible to reduce the dissatisfaction of the players in the time saving state B, and as a result, it is possible to provide a suitable time saving state B. In particular, with this feature section 099SG, as mentioned above, in time-saving state B, by increasing the fluctuation efficiency more than in time-saving state A or variable probability state, it is possible to shorten the period until the jackpot gaming state is controlled and reduce player dissatisfaction. At the same time, in the time-saving state A and variable probability state that are controlled via the jackpot game (time-saving state A and variable probability state in which a variable display with a longer special symbol fluctuation time is likely to be executed than in the time-saving state B), the jackpot game is executed during the variable display. It is possible to perform a predetermined effect over an appropriate period of time to suggest that the device is controlled by the state.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 12-21, when the second special figure pending memory number is 0 in the time saving state B, the average variation time of the variation display that should be executed is 110 times in the time saving state B. The period value ξ obtained by multiplying the number of display times is the average fluctuation time of the fluctuation display that is supposed to be executed when the second special figure pending storage number is 0 in time saving state A and 110 times in time saving state B. The period value ξ is set to be smaller than the period value ν obtained by multiplying the number of fluctuation display times of Since the period value π obtained by multiplying the average fluctuation time of the fluctuation display by the number of fluctuation displays of 110 times in the time saving state B is set smaller than the period value π, the fluctuation display in the time saving state B is different from the time saving state A or the definite variable state. Since the progress can be made faster than the previous one, the game interest in the time-saving state B can be improved.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 12-22, when the second special figure pending memory number is 0 in the time saving state B, the average variation time of the fluctuation display that should be executed is 1100 times in the time saving state B. The period value ξ' obtained by multiplying the number of displays is the average fluctuation time of the fluctuation display that is supposed to be executed when the number of second special symbols pending in time saving state A is 0, and 1100 in time saving state B. The period value ξ' is set to be smaller than the period value ν' obtained by multiplying the number of fluctuation display times, and the period value ξ' is set to be smaller than the period value ξ' that is executed when the number of second special symbols pending is 0 in the variable probability state. Since it is set smaller than the period value π' obtained by multiplying the average fluctuation time of the irregular fluctuation display by the number of fluctuation displays of 1100 times in the time saving state B, the fluctuation display in the time saving state B is Since the progress can be made faster than in A or variable probability state, the game interest in time saving state B can be improved.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 12-19, when the second special figure pending storage number is 1 in the time saving state B, the average variation time of the fluctuation display that should be executed is 110 times in the time saving state B. The period value λ obtained by multiplying the number of display times is the average fluctuation time of the fluctuation display that is supposed to be executed when the number of second special symbols pending in time saving state A is 110 times in time saving state B. The period value λ is set to be smaller than the period value κ obtained by multiplying the number of fluctuation display times of Since it is set smaller than the period value μ obtained by multiplying the average fluctuation time of the fluctuation display by the number of fluctuation displays of 110 times in the time saving state B, the fluctuation display in the time saving state B is different from the time saving state A or the definite variable state. Since the progress can be made faster than the above, the game interest in the time-saving state B can be improved.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 12-20, when the second special figure pending memory number is 1 in the time-saving state B, the average variation time of the fluctuation display that should be executed is 1100 times in the time-saving state B. The period value λ' obtained by multiplying the number of displays is the average fluctuation time of the fluctuation display that is supposed to be executed when the number of second special symbols pending in time saving state A is 1, and 1100 in time saving state B.

(Explanation regarding characteristic part 018SG)
Next, an embodiment of the characteristic portion 018SG will be described based on FIGS. 13-1 to 13-23. FIG. 13-1 is an explanatory diagram showing a specific example of a variation pattern in the characteristic portion 018SG. 13-2, (A) is an explanatory diagram showing a specific example of a fluctuation pattern determination table in a low base state, and (B) is an explanatory diagram showing a specific example of a fluctuation pattern determination table in a high base state. In this characteristic section 018SG, illustrations and detailed explanations of the same configurations as those of the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the characteristic sections 069SG and 099SG will be omitted, and differences will be mainly explained. Furthermore, the characteristic configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 1 having the feature section 018SG described below can be applied to the pachinko gaming machine 1 having the feature section 069SG or the feature section 099SG.

FIG. 13-1 shows a variation pattern in this characteristic part 018SG. In this embodiment, among the cases where the variable display result is "miss", the variable display mode of the decorative pattern is "non-reach" and "reach", and the variable A plurality of variation patterns are prepared in advance in response to cases where the display result is a "big hit" or a "small win." In addition, the variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "miss" and the variation display mode of the decorative symbol is "non-reach" is called a non-reach variation pattern (also referred to as "non-reach variation pattern"), A variation pattern corresponding to a case where the variable display result is "miss" and the variation display mode of the decorative symbol is "reach" is referred to as a reach variation pattern (also referred to as "reach variation pattern"). Further, the non-reach variation pattern and the reach variation pattern are included in the off-reach variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "off". A variation pattern corresponding to a case where the variable display result is a "jackpot" is referred to as a jackpot variation pattern.

The jackpot fluctuation pattern and the reach fluctuation pattern include a normal reach fluctuation pattern in which a normal reach reach effect is executed, and a super reach fluctuation pattern in which a super reach reach effect is executed.

On the other hand, the variable display period of the super reach γ deviation pattern is shorter than the variable display period (45 seconds) of the super reach α deviation pattern because it is a high base deviation pattern as described later. period (40 seconds).

Furthermore, in this embodiment, as will be described later, the types of these fluctuation patterns are determined first, such as non-reach types, normal reach types, super reach types, etc. After that, instead of determining the fluctuation pattern to be executed from among the fluctuation patterns belonging to the determined type, the fluctuation pattern is determined using only the random number MR3 for determining the fluctuation pattern without determining these types. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in addition to the random number MR3 for determining the variation pattern, a random number for determining the type of variation pattern may be provided, and from these random numbers for determining the type of variation pattern. The type of variation pattern may be determined first, and then the variation pattern to be executed may be determined from the variation patterns belonging to the determined type.

In the jackpot variation pattern determination table A, 97 determination values are assigned to PB1-1, 600 determination values are assigned to PB1-2, and 300 determination values are assigned to PB1-3. That is, when the gaming state is a low base state and the variable display result is "jackpot", the determination ratio increases in the order of normal reach, super reach α, and super reach β.

On the other hand, if the variable display result is "miss" and the number of pending memory of variable special symbols is 2 or less, select the variation pattern judgment table A for deviations, and use the variation pattern judgment table A for deviations. The fluctuation patterns are PA1-1 (variation pattern of non-reach deviation), PA2-1 (variation pattern of normal reach deviation), PA2-2 (variation pattern of super reach α deviation), and PA2-3 (variation pattern of deviation of super reach β). pattern). Specifically, in the error variation pattern determination table A, 600 determination values are assigned to PA1-1, 300 determination values are assigned to PA2-1, and 90 determination values are assigned to PA2-2. Seven determination values are assigned to PA2-3.

The variation patterns are PA1-2 (shortened variation pattern with non-reach deviation), PA2-1 (variation pattern with normal reach deviation), PA2-2 (variation pattern with super reach α deviation), and PA2-3 (variation pattern with super reach β deviation). pattern). Specifically, in the variation pattern determination table B for failure, 700 determination values are assigned to PA1-2, 200 determination values are assigned to PA2-1, and 90 determination values are assigned to PA2-2. Seven determination values are assigned to PA2-3.

If the variable display result is "Jackpot" in the time saving state (high base state), select the jackpot variation pattern determination table B, and change the variation pattern to PB1-1 (normal reach) using the jackpot variation pattern determination table B. (Jackpot fluctuation pattern) and PB1-4 (Super reach γ jackpot fluctuation pattern). In the jackpot variation pattern determination table B, 197 determination values are assigned to PB1-1, and 800 determination values are assigned to PB1-4. That is, when the gaming state is a high base state and the variable display result is "jackpot", the determination ratio increases in the order of normal reach and super reach γ.

On the other hand, if the variable display result is "miss", select the variation pattern determination table D for miss, and change the variation pattern PA1-4 (non-reach variation pattern) using the variation pattern determination table D for miss. It is determined from PA2-1 (variation pattern of deviation from normal reach) and PA2-4 (variation pattern of deviation from super reach γ). Specifically, in the deviation variation pattern determination table D, 800 determination values are assigned to PA1-4, 100 determination values are assigned to PA2-1, and 97 determination values are assigned to PA2-4. Assigned.

Thereafter, the variable display of the decorative symbols ends without developing into a super reach effect (hereinafter abbreviated as "SP reach effect").

On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 13-3 and 13-4, in the variable display of decorative symbols based on the super reach variation pattern, the period (ta0 to ta1) from timing ta0 when variable display starts until a predetermined period elapses. Then, decorative symbols are displayed variably in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5R, and 5C (see FIG. 13-9 (N1)). The light emission patterns of the game effect lamps 9 and the movable LED 208 during this period (ta0 to ta1) are light emission patterns corresponding to multiple types of normal background effects in the low base state, and light emission patterns corresponding to multiple types of music in the high base state. By combining the light emission patterns corresponding to multiple types of normal background effects and the light emission patterns corresponding to multiple types of music, and the light emission patterns corresponding to various SP reach effects, it is possible to create a variety of lights. The lighting pattern can enhance the production effect.

At timing ta1 when a predetermined period has elapsed from timing ta0 when variable display was started, the variable display mode is changed to a normal reach display mode, and "N reach effect" as a variable display effect is executed over a predetermined period (ta1 to ta2). Thereafter, at timing ta2, the variable display mode is changed to the super reach display mode, and the "SP reach effect" is executed as a variable display effect for a predetermined period (ta2 to ta5).

In this way, the "N reach effect" is a common effect executed in both the normal reach variation pattern and the super reach variation pattern, and in the case of the normal reach variation pattern, it ends without developing into the "SP reach effect" and the super reach variation pattern ends. In the case of reach variation pattern, it develops into "SP reach effect". Therefore, even in the case of a normal reach variation pattern, the player can expect that the execution of the "N reach effect" will lead to development into the later-described "SP reach effects A to E".

As shown in Figures 13-3 and 13-4, "SP reach effects A to E" indicate whether the variable display result is a "jackpot" or not, that is, a "jackpot" or a "miss." This is a performance to be announced, and during the SP reach performance period, a "decision performance" to be described later is executed for a predetermined period (ta3 to ta4). Then, as shown in Figure 13-3, if the variable display result is a jackpot, after the end of the "SP reach effects A to E", the "post effects" described later will be executed for a predetermined period (ta5 to ta7). After that, the variable display ends. In this way, the variable display based on the super reach variation pattern of SP reach α, β, and γ includes the variable display part (ta0 to ta5) that executes the variable display of decorative symbols, and the jackpot game state after the end of the variable display part. It consists of a post performance part (ta5 to ta7) that notifies the expected number of pitches that can be obtained in the event.

Further, as shown in FIG. 13-4, if the variable display result is a failure, the variable display ends at the same time as the "SP reach effects A to E" end. In addition, after the notification of the loss ends (ta5 to ta5A), the normal background screen returns to the state where the confirmed decorative symbols of the predetermined reach combinations that are not jackpot combinations are temporarily stopped (shaking state), and the symbol confirmation period continues. A temporary stop will be displayed until the

Next, various performances executed in the super reach variation pattern will be explained. As shown in FIG. 13-5 (A), when the fluctuation pattern is the super reach α fluctuation pattern, “SP reach performance A” is executed as the SP reach performance, and when the fluctuation pattern is the super reach β fluctuation pattern, If "SP reach effect B" or "SP reach effect C" is executed as the SP reach effect and the variation pattern is the super reach α variation pattern, "SP reach effect D" or "SP reach effect E" is executed as the SP reach effect. is executed.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 13-5(B), in "SP reach effects B to E" other than "SP reach effect A", ally character A-1 and ally character A different from ally character A-1 -2, enemy character X-1, and enemy character X-2 different from enemy character X-1 can appear. Note that the number of types of friendly characters and enemy characters is not limited to the above, and friendly characters and enemy characters other than those mentioned above may also appear. Furthermore, even for the same character, the level of expectation may vary depending on the display mode.

"SP reach effect A" is an effect that is executed when the SP reach α fluctuation pattern is determined when the gaming state is the normal state (low base state), and a moving image of a bowling challenge is displayed. A "jackpot" is announced when all the pins fall, and a "miss" is announced when all the pins do not fall. Note that in the video of the bowling challenge, the friendly characters A-1 and A-2 and the enemy characters X-1 and X-2 are not displayed.

"SP reach effect B" is executable when the SP reach β fluctuation pattern is determined when the game state is the normal state (low base state), and the ally character A-1 and enemy character This is a production in which a moving image of "Battle A" in which ally character A-1 faces off in the city is displayed, and when ally character A-1 defeats enemy character X-1 and wins, a "jackpot" is announced, and ally character A-1 When the character fails to defeat enemy character X-1 and is defeated, a "defeat" is announced.

"SP reach effect C" is executable when the SP reach β fluctuation pattern is determined when the game state is the normal state (low base state), and the ally character A-2 and enemy character X-2 This is a production in which a moving image of "Battle A" in which ally character A-2 faces off in the city is displayed, and when ally character A-2 defeats enemy character X-2 and wins, a "jackpot" is announced, and ally character A-2 When the character fails to defeat the enemy character X-2 and is defeated, a "defeat" is announced.

"SP reach performance D" is executable when the SP reach γ variation pattern is determined when the gaming state is one of time saving state A, variable probability state, and time saving state B (high base state), This is a production that displays a moving image of "Battle B" in which character A-1 and enemy character X-1 face off in the wilderness, and when ally character A-1 defeats enemy character X-1 and wins, " A "jackpot" is reported, and a "miss" is reported when the friendly character A-1 fails to defeat the enemy character X-1 and is defeated.

"SP reach effect E" is executable when the SP reach γ fluctuation pattern is determined when the gaming state is one of time saving state A, variable probability state, and time saving state B (high base state), This is a production that displays a moving image of "Battle B" in which character A-1 and enemy character X-2 face off in the wilderness, and when ally character A-1 defeats enemy character X-2 and wins, " A "jackpot" is reported, and a "miss" is reported when the friendly character A-1 fails to defeat the enemy character X-2 and is defeated.

In addition, the expectation of a jackpot is higher with the variation pattern of Super Reach β than with the variation pattern of Super Reach α, so the expectation of a jackpot is higher with SP Reach Performance B and SP Reach Performance C than with SP Reach Performance A ( Jackpot expectation level: SP reach performance A < SP reach performance B < SP reach performance C).

The "decision performance" is a predetermined period of time (for example, timing ta3 when the final showdown of bowling or battle starts just before the end of the SP reach performance) after a predetermined period of time has elapsed since the start of SP reach performance A to E. , ta3 to ta5). Specifically, during the valid operation period in which the operation of the push button 31B is effectively detected, there is a "right/fail button effect" that encourages the player to operate the push button 31B, and the operation of the push button 31B is detected during the valid operation period. This includes a "movable body effect" that is executed at the timing when the push button 31B is pressed, or when the valid operation period ends without any operation of the push button 31B being detected.

The "movable object performance" is executed only when the variable display result is a jackpot, and is executed at the timing when the operation of the push button 31B is detected during the operation validity period, or at the timing when the operation of the push button 31B is not detected and the operation validity period This is a performance in which the movable body 32 falls from the origin position to the performance position at the timing when the animation ends. If the variable display result is incorrect, the operation is not executed at the timing when the operation of the push button 31B is detected during the operation validity period, or at the timing when the operation validity period ends without any operation of the push button 31B being detected.

In addition, in accordance with the execution of the movable body effect (falling of the movable body 32), an effect image related to the operation of the movable body 32 is displayed on the display screen of the image display device 5, and the movable body LED 208 and the game effect A light emission effect in which the lamp 9 or the like is lit in a predetermined color (e.g., rainbow color lighting), and a vibration in which the vibration motor 61 is driven for a predetermined period (for example, about 10 seconds) to vibrate the push button 31B. A presentation and a sound presentation that outputs a predetermined sound effect are performed.

In addition, in SP reach production A, friendly characters and enemy characters are not displayed in the bowling showdown, so characters are not displayed in the movable body production, while in SP reach production B to E, friendly characters and enemy characters are not displayed in the battle showdown. By displaying , the enemy character that was displayed in the battle confrontation is also displayed in the movable body production.

In this way, in the "decision effect", if the variable display result is a jackpot, after the win/fail button effect is performed, the movable object effect is executed to notify the jackpot, and the variable display result is a loss. In some cases, after the success/failure button performance is performed, a failure notification is performed without executing the movable object performance.

"Post-effect A" is executed after it is announced that the variable display result is a jackpot in the normal gaming state (low base state), and that the SP reach effects A to C will be controlled to the jackpot gaming state. Ru. Specifically, in SP reach performances A to C, after the confirmed decorative symbols that are a predetermined jackpot combination are temporarily stopped and displayed in each decorative symbol display area 5L, 5C, and 5R, and the jackpot confirmed notification is performed, The re-variable display is executed in the re-lottery variation part (ta5 to ta6) in which the re-variable display of the confirmed decorative symbols temporarily stopped and displayed in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R is executed, and the re-variable display is executed in the re-lottery variation part. It is composed of a re-lottery result part (ta6 to ta7) in which the display result is notified by stopping and displaying the determined decorative pattern in the decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R. Incidentally, the execution period (ta5 to ta7) of the post performance A is set to be "10 seconds".

In addition, in this embodiment, in SP reach effects A to C, a fixed decorative pattern consisting of a combination of even numbers (for example, 666, etc.) is temporarily stopped and displayed, and variable display is started again in the re-lottery variation part. After that, in the re-lottery result part, a determined decorative pattern consisting of a combination of even-numbered symbols or a determined decorative pattern consisting of a combination of odd-numbered symbols is stopped and displayed. If a fixed decorative pattern consisting of a combination of even-numbered symbols is stopped and displayed in the re-lottery result part, it will be announced that it is a "jackpot A" that will be controlled by time-saving state A after the end of the jackpot game state, and the odd-numbered symbol will be When a fixed decorative pattern consisting of a combination is stopped and displayed (symbol promotion), it is announced that it is a "jackpot B" which is controlled to a variable probability state after the end of the jackpot game state.

Further, in the post-effect performance A of the SP ready-to-reach performance A, since the character does not appear in the SP ready-to-reach performance A, the character does not appear in the post-performance performance A as well. In addition, in the post-production A of the SP ready-to-reach productions B and C, characters appear in the SP ready-to-reach productions B and C, but no characters appear in the post-production A. By doing this, even when the SP ready-to-reach performance A in which no character appears is executed, the subsequent performance A is executed in a manner in which no character appears, so that the performance effect can be enhanced.

"Post-effect B" is controlled to a jackpot gaming state in SP reach effects D and E when the variable display result is a jackpot in the time-saving state A, variable probability state, and time-saving state B (high base state). It is executed after the notification is made. Specifically, in SP reach performances D and E, after the confirmed decorative symbols that are a predetermined jackpot combination are temporarily stopped and displayed in each decorative symbol display area 5L, 5C, and 5R, and the jackpot confirmed notification is performed, The expected pitch addition part (ta5 to ta6) where the expected number of pitches will be added and displayed in response to the enemy character being attacked by the friendly character that appeared in SP reach effects D and E, and the scheduled pitch addition part (ta5-ta6) where the friendly character attacks the enemy character. After the final blow is given, the expected number of balls to be released is stopped and displayed, and after the expected number of balls to be delivered is notified, the determined decorative symbol that becomes the jackpot combination is stopped and displayed, and the variable display ends ( ta6 to ta7). Note that the execution period (ta5 to ta7) of the post-effect B is set to be "15 seconds", which is longer than the execution period of the post-effect A.

Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 13-3 and 13-4, the variable display part period ta0 to ta5 (ta5A) in SP reach α is 45 seconds, and the variable display part period ta0 to ta5 (ta5A) in SP reach β is 45 seconds. is 80 seconds, and the variable display part period ta0 to ta5 (ta5A) in SP reach γ is 40 seconds. In other words, the variable display part periods are shorter in the order of SP reach β, SP reach α, and SP reach γ (variable display part period ta0 to ta5 (ta5A); SP reach β>SP reach α>SP reach γ) .

In addition, the period (ta0 to ta1) from the start of variable display to reaching N reach is different for SP reach α, β, and γ, and the period from the start of variable display to reaching N reach in SP reach γ is different. The period (ta0 to ta1) is shorter than the period (ta0 to ta1) from the start of variable display in SP reaches α and β until reaching N reach (ta0 to ta1; SP reach γ<SP reach α, β).

In addition, the execution period (ta1 to ta2) of the N reach effect in SP reach α, β, and γ is different, and the execution period (ta1 to ta2) of the N reach effect in SP reach γ is different from the execution period (ta1 to ta2) of the N reach effect in SP reach α, β. It is shorter than the execution period (ta1 to ta2) of the reach effect (ta1 to ta2; SP reach γ<SP reach α, β).

In addition, the execution periods (ta2 to ta5) of SP reach effects A to E in SP reach α, β, and γ are different, and SP reach γ (SP reach effects D and E) and SP reach α (SP reach effect A) are different. , SP reach β (SP reach performance B, C) is longer in the order {ta2 to ta5; SP reach γ (SP reach performance D, E) < SP reach α (SP reach performance A) < SP reach β (SP Reach performance B, C)}.

In addition, the variable display part period (40 seconds) of SP reach γ is shorter than the variable display part period (45 seconds) of SP reach α and the variable display part period (80 seconds) of SP reach β (variable display period ; SP Reach β > SP Reach α > SP Reach γ), SP Reach γ (SP Reach Performance D, E) After the deciding performance is completed, the predetermined jackpot combination is displayed in each decorative symbol display area 5L, 5C, and 5R. During the execution period (ta5 to ta7) of post-effect B until the finalized decorative pattern is stopped and displayed, the final effect is performed in SP reach α (SP reach effect A) and SP reach β (SP reach effect B, C). It is longer than the execution period (ta5 to ta7) of the post-performance A from the end until the fixed decorative symbols that are a predetermined jackpot combination are stopped and displayed in each of the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R (ta5 to ta7). ta7; SP reach γ (15 seconds) > SP reach α, β (10 seconds)).

In addition, the execution period (ta3 to ta5) of the "decisive performance" in SP reach performances A to E is common to SP reach performances A to E (ta3 to ta5; SP reach performance A = SP reach performance B = SP reach performance C = SP reach performance D = SP reach performance E). Therefore, control data for the movable body 32, movable body LED 208, etc. in the SP reach performances A to E can be shared, so that manufacturing costs can be reduced. Furthermore, the execution period of the "win/fail button performance" in the "decision performance" and the execution period of the "movable object performance" are also common to the SP reach performances A to E.

In addition, during the execution period of “post effects A and B” in SP reach α, β, and γ, SP reach effect A is From the timing ta5 when the confirmed decorative symbols that result in a predetermined jackpot combination are temporarily stopped and displayed in the jackpot confirmation notification of ~E, the determined decorative symbols that result in a predetermined jackpot combination are stopped and displayed (the variable display ends) ) By setting the period up to timing ta7 (ta5 to ta7), we have exemplified a form in which it becomes easier to recognize the timing at which the post-effects are executed, and it is possible to increase attention to the post-effects A and B. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the "post effects A, B" may be performed during a symbol confirmation period or a jackpot fanfare period that starts after fixed decorative symbols that form a predetermined jackpot combination are stopped and displayed. may be executable.

In addition, the variable display period of SP reach γ for high base is shorter than the variable display period of SP reach β for low base (ta0 to ta7: SP reach γ < SP reach β), and in SP reach γ The period (ta4 to ta7) from timing ta4 when the "production" ends to timing ta7 when the fixed decorative symbols that form a predetermined jackpot combination are stopped and displayed is the timing ta4 when the "movable body production" ends in SP reach β. It is longer than the period (ta4 to ta7) from ta4 to timing ta7 at which the fixed decorative symbols that form a predetermined jackpot combination are stopped and displayed (ta4 to ta7; SP reach γ>SP reach β). By doing this, in SP reach γ that is executed during a short variable display period, by lengthening the period after the end of the "movable body effect", the impression of the variable display is enhanced even if the variable display period is short. be able to.

In addition, the execution period (ta5 to ta7) of "post-effect A" corresponding to each of SP reach effects A to C is the same, and the execution period (ta5-ta7) of "post-effect B" corresponding to each of SP reach effects D and E ( ta5 to ta7) are all common. By doing so, it is possible to easily reuse the control data for the post effects A and B, especially the character motion control data for the post effect B, so that manufacturing costs can be reduced.

In addition, the execution period (ta5 to ta7) of "post-effect A" corresponding to each of SP reach effects A to C is the same, and the execution period (ta5-ta7) of "post-effect B" corresponding to each of SP reach effects D and E ( While ta5 to ta7) are all common, the execution period (10 seconds) of "post-effect A" and the execution period (15 seconds) of "post-effect B" are different, so that SP reach effects A to C each are different. By making the performance period of post-performance A that corresponds to , it is possible to prevent the post effects A and B from becoming monotonous, and the effect of the post effects can be enhanced.

(Operation mode of SP reach effects A to E and post effects A and B)
Next, the operating modes of the SP reach effects A to E and the subsequent effects A and B when the variable display result is a jackpot will be explained based on FIG. 13-6. In Figure 13-6, (A) is a diagram showing the display mode of characters in SP reach effects A to E, (B) is a diagram showing the LED lighting pattern in SP reach effects A to E, and (C) is a figure showing SP reach effects. 5 is a diagram showing output patterns of BGM and sound effects in productions A to E. FIG.

As shown in Figure 13-6 (A), to explain the display mode of characters in SP reach effects A to E, during the execution period (ta2 to ta3) of the bowling showdown and battle showdown in the SP reach effect, SP reach effect A In this case, no characters are displayed, in SP reach effect B, ally character A-1 and enemy character X-1 are displayed, and in SP reach effect C, ally character A-2 and enemy character X-2 are displayed. In SP reach effect D, ally character A-1 and enemy character X-1 are displayed, and in SP reach effect E, ally character A-1 and enemy character X-2 are displayed. In this way, the SP ready-to-win performance A is a performance in which no character is displayed, whereas the SP ready-to-reach performances BE are performances in which a character is displayed.

In addition, during the execution period of the "win/fail button performance" of the deciding performance in the SP reach performance, characters are not displayed in any of the SP reach performances A to E, while in the execution period of the "movable body performance", in the SP reach performance A. , the character is not displayed, and in SP reach effect B, enemy character X-1 that was displayed in the battle showdown is displayed, and in SP reach effect C, enemy character X-2 that was displayed in the battle showdown is not displayed. In the SP reach effect D, the enemy character X-1 that was displayed in the battle showdown is displayed, and in the SP reach effect E, the enemy character X-2 that was displayed in the battle showdown is displayed.

In addition, during the execution period (ta4 to ta5) of jackpot confirmation notification in SP reach effect, no character is displayed in SP reach effect A, and in SP reach effect B, ally character A-1 and enemy character X-1 are displayed. In SP reach effect C, ally character A-2 and enemy character X-2 are displayed, and in SP reach effect D, ally character A-1 and enemy character X-1 are displayed, and SP reach effect is displayed. In E, friendly character A-1 and enemy character X-2 are displayed.

In addition, in the re-lottery variation part (ta5-ta6) and the re-lottery result part (ta6-ta7) in the post-effect A that corresponds to the SP reach effects A to C, the character is not displayed in the SP reach effect A, and the SP In reach performance B, ally character A-1 and enemy character X-1 are not displayed, and in SP reach performance C, ally character A-2 and enemy character X-2 are not displayed.

In addition, in the planned ball addition part (ta5 to ta6) and the scheduled ball notification part (ta6 to ta7) in post-effect B that correspond to SP reach effects D and E, in SP reach effect D, ally character A-1 and enemy character X-1 are displayed, and in SP reach effect E, ally character A-1 and enemy character X-2 are displayed.

In this way, in SP reach production A, the character is not displayed in the bowling showdown, so the character is not displayed in the movable body production or post-effect production A, while in SP reach production B to E, the character is not displayed in the bowling showdown, but in SP reach production B to E, the character faces off against an ally character in the battle showdown. The enemy character is also displayed in the movable body effects and the post effects A and B.

In other words, in SP reach effect A, an image related to the bowling showdown (an image in which the characters are not displayed) is displayed in the movable object effect before the jackpot confirmation notification is made, and in SP reach effects B to E, a jackpot effect is displayed. In the movable object performance before the final notification is made, an image related to the battle confrontation (image of the enemy character who was facing off) is displayed, so SP reach effects A to E and the SP reach effect A are displayed. The relationship with the movable object performance executed during the performance period of ~E can be increased.

In addition, in SP reach effect A, in post effect A, an image related to SP reach effect A (image in which the character is hidden) is displayed, and in SP reach effects D and E, in post effect B, an image related to SP reach effect A is displayed. Since images related to productions D and E (images of friendly characters and enemy characters who were facing each other) are displayed, SP reach productions A, D, and E and the end of SP reach production A, D, and E are displayed. It is possible to increase the relevance between post effects A and B that will be executed later.

Next, as shown in FIG. 13-6(B), the light emission patterns of the movable body LED 208 and the frame LEDs 9L1 to 9L12, 9R1 to 9R12 in the SP reach effects A to E will be explained. Note that the numerical value in parentheses of each pattern (for example, B100, etc.) indicates the extended command explained in the feature section 069SG. In addition, the various light emitting patterns described below differ from other light emitting patterns in at least one of multiple elements such as emitted light color, brightness, lighting timing, lighting time, lights out timing, lights out time, and blinking cycle. Each light emitting pattern can be changed in various ways.

During the execution period (ta2 to ta3) of the bowling showdown and battle showdown in the SP reach effect, in the SP reach effect A, the light is lit in the light emission pattern LP1-1 based on the extended command B100, and in the SP reach effect B and C, the extended command It is lit in a light emission pattern LP1-2 based on B101, and in SP reach effects D and E, it is lit in a light emission pattern LP1-3 based on extended command B102.

Also, during the execution period of the "win/fail button effect" in the SP reach effect, one of the light emission patterns LP2-1 to LP2-4, which is common to the SP reach effects A to E, is lit based on extended commands B200 to B203. . Regarding the light emission patterns LP2-2 to LP2-4, one is selected based on the variable display result, and the expectation level increases in the order of light emission patterns LP2-2, LP2-3, and LP2-4. ing.

Furthermore, during the execution period of the "movable object effect" and the "jackpot notification" in the SP ready-to-reach effect, the lights are lit in the common light emission pattern LP3-1 in the SP ready-to-reach effects A to E based on the extended command B000. In addition, during the execution period of "missing notification" in the SP ready-to-reach presentation, SP ready-to-reach presentations A to E are lit in a common light emission pattern LP3-1 based on the extended command B300.

In addition, in the re-lottery variation part in post-effect A and the scheduled ball addition part (ta5 to ta6) in post-effect B, SP reach effects A to C are lit in a common light emission pattern LP4-1 based on extended command BA00. In SP reach effects D and E, the lights are lit in a common light emission pattern LP4-4 based on the extended command BB00.

In addition, in the re-lottery result part in post-effect A and the scheduled ball notification part (ta6 to ta7) in post-effect B, SP reach effects A to C are lit in a common light emission pattern LP4-2 based on extended command BA01. , or it is lit with the common light emission pattern LP4-3 based on the extended command BA02, and in SP reach effects D and E, it is lit with the common light emission pattern LP4-5 based on the extended command BB01, or it is lit with the common light emission pattern LP4-5 based on the extended command BB02. Based on this, the lights are lit in a common light emission pattern LP4-6.

The light emission patterns LP1-1 to LP1-3, LP2-1 to 4, LP3-1 to 2, and LP4-1 to 6 are patterns that emit light in different light emission modes based on the light emission control data described later. The outline of each light emitting pattern will be explained below. Note that the words in parentheses corresponding to each light emission pattern indicate extended commands.

As shown in Figure 13-7 (A), in "Bowling/Battle", the light emitting pattern LP1-1 (B100) is a frame LED (frame LEDs 9L1 to 9L12, 9R1 -9R12) and the LED on the board (movable LED 208) (see Figure 13-10).The light emission pattern LP1-2 (B101) is a pattern in which the reach title is introduced and the light emission is based on the color of the city background. The frame LED and the LED on the game board light up depending on the color, and the frame LED and the LED on the game board light up according to the actions (attack movements, etc.) of allies A-1/A-2 and enemy X-1/X-2. It is a pattern that emits light (see Figures 13-11 (A2) and (A3)), and the light-emitting pattern LP1-3 (B102) is a light-emitting color based on the color of the title introduction and wilderness background, and the frame LED and the game board surface. The upper LED emits light, and the frame LED and the LED on the game board also emit light according to the actions (attack movements, etc.) of allies A-1 and enemies X-1/X-2 (Figure 13-12). (See A4) and (A5)).

In the "win/fail button effect", the light emission pattern LP2-1 (B200) is such that after the frame LED and the LED on the game board emit light according to the message "Keep pressing the button to accumulate power!", the frame LED lights up in the default white color. This is a pattern in which the LEDs on the game board surface emit light (see Figure 13-13), and the light-emitting pattern LP2-2 (B201) is for power-up (first stage) when the button is operated, and the frame LED and the game are colored in blue. This is a pattern in which the LEDs on the board emit light (see Figure 13-13), and the light emitting pattern LP2-3 (B202) is for power-up (second stage) when the button is pressed. The LED emits light (see Figure 13-13), and the light emitting pattern LP2-4 (B203) is for power up (third stage) when the button is pressed, and the frame LED and the LED on the game board light up in "red". pattern (see Figure 13-13). The light emitting patterns LP2-2 to LP2-4 are light emitting patterns that gradually change from blue to green to red (MAX) depending on the player's long press operation (how much the gauge display is full).

In "missing notification", the light emitting pattern LP3-1 (B300) is such that when a "missing" is notified in the result notification, the frame LED and the LED on the game board light up in low brightness white, and the display screen is the normal background. This is a pattern that continues even after returning to , until the next fluctuation starts (see Figures 13-16).

In "Movable body performance & jackpot notification", the light emitting pattern LP3-2 (B000) is used as the background during the movable body performance in the movable body performance (first period) when a "jackpot" is notified in the result notification. With matching colors, during the movable object performance (second period), the frame LED and the LED on the game board will emit light in accordance with the background image and effect display during the movable object performance, and the frame LED and the game board will be illuminated in rainbow colors during the jackpot notification. This is the pattern in which the LEDs on the board emit light (see Figures 13-14 and 13-15). Note that the extension command (B000) differs from other extension commands in that it uses operation control data (setting the number of steps, speed, and time related to motor drive), frame LEDs, and LEDs on the game board to operate the movable body 32. Both gradation control data and gradation control data for causing the light to emit light are set.

In addition, by making the extended command B000 a common extended command for movable body motion control and LED lighting control, there is no need to separate the extended command for movable body motion control and the extended command for LED lighting control. Control program capacity can be reduced. If the extended commands used for moving object production are separated into an extended command for controlling moving object movement and an extended command for controlling LED lighting, there is a risk that one of the extended commands will be missed due to a problem, but it will be made common. This makes it possible to suitably perform moving body effects.

In addition, by controlling the movement of the movable body and controlling the LED lighting with one extended command instead of separating the extended commands for "movable object performance" and "jackpot notification", there is no need to separate extended commands depending on the performance. Therefore, the program capacity for performance control can be reduced. If the extended commands were separate for "movable object performance" and "jackpot notification", there is a risk that one of the extended commands would be missed due to a problem, but by making them common, it would be preferable to use "movable object performance" and "jackpot notification". "Information" can be carried out.

In "re-lottery variation/scheduled ball addition", the light emitting pattern LP4-1 (BA00) is a pattern in which the frame LED and the LED on the game board emit light in accordance with the background moving image (round and round) (Figure 13-17 (See (F1)), the light-emitting pattern LP4-4 (BB00) is a light-emitting color based on the color of the space background, and the frame LED and the KED on the game board emit light, and also the action of ally A-1 (attack movement, etc.). ) is a pattern in which the frame LED and the LED on the game board surface emit light (see Figure 13-18).

In the "re-lottery result/scheduled ball notification", the light-emitting pattern LP4-2 (BA01) causes the frame LED and the LED on the game board to emit light when an even-numbered symbol combination (for example, 666, etc.) is stopped and displayed. (See Figure 13-17 (F2)), and the light emitting pattern LP4-3 (BA02) has a brightness higher than that of the light emitting pattern LP4-2 when a combination of odd symbols (for example, 333, etc.) is stopped and displayed. This is a pattern in which the frame LED and the LED on the game board surface emit light at a higher pitch and a faster gradation cycle (see Figure 13-17 (F3)), and the light emission pattern LP4-5 (BB01) is for the scheduled ball notification "750". , the frame LED and the LED on the game board surface emit light in accordance with the display of "750", and until "750" is displayed, the same gradation control data as "1500" is used (Figure 13-19 (G1-3) to (G3)), the light emission pattern LP4-6 (BB02) is for the scheduled ball notification "1500", and when "750" is displayed in accordance with the display of "1500", the light emission pattern LP4-6 (BB02) is The frame LED and the LED on the game board surface emit light with higher brightness and faster gradation cycle, and the same gradation control data as ``750'' is used until ``1500'' is displayed (Figure 13-19). (See G1-4) to (G4)).

In addition, during the execution of SP reach performances A to E, it is possible to perform jackpot confirmation notification as a later period performance after the movable body performance, and in the jackpot confirmation notification, it is possible to perform jackpot confirmation notification depending on the type of SP reach performance A to E. First, the frame LEDs 9L1 to 9L12, 9R1 to 9R12, and the movable body LED 208 have the same light emission pattern (for example, light emission pattern LP3-2), so that regardless of the type of SP reach effect A to E, a common light emission pattern is used. Since the jackpot confirmation notification is executed, manufacturing costs can be further reduced.

Incidentally, the light emission pattern may be different depending on the type of SP reach effects A to E. For example, the lighting pattern LP3-1 corresponding to the jackpot confirmation notification of SP reach effect A is set to the rainbow-colored lighting pattern (smooth rainbow light emission) shown in Figure 13-21, and the light emission pattern LP3-1 corresponding to the jackpot confirmation notification of SP reach effects B and C is changed to The corresponding light emission pattern LP3-2 is the rainbow-colored blinking pattern (flash rainbow light emission) shown in FIG. The rainbow-colored blinking pattern shown in FIG. 22 (flash rainbow light emission) may change to the rainbow-colored lighting pattern (smooth rainbow light emission) shown in FIGS. 13-21.

Furthermore, the light emission pattern of the movable body LED 208 and the frame LEDs 9L1 to 9L12 and 9R1 to 9R12 in the scheduled ball addition part of the post effect B is the same for SP reach effect D and SP reach effect E (light emission pattern LP4-4). As a result, the light emitting pattern can also be shared, so that manufacturing costs can be further reduced.

In addition, the light emission pattern (light emission pattern LP4-5, LP4-6) of the movable body LED 208 and frame LEDs 9L1 to 9L12 and 9R1 to 9R12 in the scheduled ball notification part of the post-reach effect B corresponding to SP reach effect D and SP reach effect E are common, while the light emitting patterns (light emitting patterns LP4-2, LP4-3) of the movable LED 208 and frame LEDs 9L1 to 9L12, 9R1 to 9R12 of post effect A corresponding to SP reach effect A, and SP reach effect D. The light emitting patterns (light emitting patterns LP4-5, LP4-6) of the movable body LED 208 and frame LEDs 9L1 to 9L12, 9R1 to 9R12 in the post effect B corresponding to the SP reach effect E are different, which further reduces manufacturing costs. By executing the post performance A with a different light emission pattern, it is possible to improve the performance effect of the post performance.

In the present embodiment, the operation can be performed at any timing when the operation of the push button 31B is detected during the operation validity period during which the "pass/fail button effect" is executed, or at any timing when the operation of the push button 31B is not detected and the operation validity period ends. Although the embodiment has been exemplified in which the light emission pattern during the execution period of the movable body effect is the common light emission pattern LP3-2 even if the "movable body effect" is executed at the timing when it has ended, the present invention is limited to this. Instead, the movable body LED 208 and the frame LEDs 9L1 to 9L12 and 9R1 to 9R12 emit light in different light emission patterns depending on the timing at which the operation of the push button 31B is detected during the operation validity period during which the "pass/fail button effect" is executed. You can also do this. By doing so, it becomes possible to change the light emission mode by changing the timing of the player's operation, thereby improving the interest in the game.

In addition, as shown in Figure 13-6 (B), regarding the LED light emission pattern in the SP reach effect, the light emission pattern LP1-2 is commonly used in the SP reach effect B and C. In SP Reach C, use the light emitting pattern LP1-2-1 (B200: city background color + image color of enemy character By using color + image color of enemy character While suppressing the development cost, dedicated brightness data may be used for the parts related to the enemy characters X-1 and X-2 to create a difference in appearance at a minimum cost.

Light-emitting pattern LP1-3 is commonly used in SP reach effects D and E, but for example, in SP reach effect D, light-emitting pattern LP1-3-1 (B300: Wilderness background color + image color of enemy character X-1) , emitting light according to the action), and in SP Reach E, by using the emitting pattern LP1-3-2 (B300: Wilderness background color + image color of enemy character X-2, emitting light according to the action), The brightness data of a part of the LED light emission pattern (city background color part) of SP Reach Effects D and E is commonly used to reduce development costs, while the parts related to enemy characters X-1 and X-2 have their own brightness. Data may also be used to create differences in presentation with minimal cost.

Also, one of the SP reach effects B and C in the low base state and the SP reach effects D and E in the high base state (for example, SP reach effects D and E) is set to a common light emission pattern, and the other (for example, SP reach effect The reach effects B and C) may have different light emission patterns. By doing so, it is possible to reduce the manufacturing cost on the one hand, while suitably showing the difference in performance on the other hand.

(gradation control data)
Here, control data for realizing the light emission effect will be briefly explained. FIG. 13-21 is a diagram for explaining a data table for lighting the frame LED in a lighting pattern of smooth rainbow light emission. FIG. 13-22 is a diagram for explaining a data table for lighting the frame LED in a flash rainbow lighting pattern.

As shown in Figure 13-21, various brightness data corresponding to seven colors (rainbow colors) are sparsely specified at 40 msec intervals as "RGB" data output to each LED included in the frame LED. . The performance control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the data table for smooth rainbow light emission, thereby lighting up the frame lamp smoothly in rainbow colors.

In addition, as shown in Figure 13-22, as the "RGB" data output to each LED included in the frame LED, the brightness data corresponding to turning off for 20 msec corresponds to seven colors (rainbow colors) at 30 msec intervals. It is specified between various brightness data. The performance control CPU 120 performs lamp control based on the flash rainbow light emission data table, thereby causing the frame lamp to intensely light up in rainbow colors.

The ROM 121 of the performance control board 12 stores a light emission control table used by the performance control CPU 120 to control the light emission of each LED. The light emission control table includes, for example, light emission patterns (light emission patterns LP1-1 to 2, LP2-1, LP3-1 to 3, LP4-1 to 4, etc.), driver IDs, output terminal numbers, and electrical components. and light emission control generation data are defined in association with each other.

For example, the driver ID associated with the light emitting pattern stores an ID as identification information for identifying the light emitter driver, the output terminal number stores the number of the light emitter driver output terminal, and the electric component , electric components (for example, frame LEDs 9L1 to 9L12, 9R1 to 9R12, movable LED 208, etc.) corresponding to the light emitter driver and the output terminal number are stored, and the light emission control generation data includes the light emitter driver Data for controlling a serial-to-parallel conversion circuit applied to a computer, which is used to generate light emission control data based on a control data format, is stored.

Each light emission control generation data includes, for example, a data name, a format type, an address, a data transmission cycle, a unit light emission time, a light emission control cycle, and formatting data. For example, the data name stores the data name of the format generation data corresponding to the light emission pattern in the light emission control table, and the format type stores the basic format (EX=0) and extended format (EX=1). Identification information (“basic” or “extended”) to apply is stored in the address field, and an address to be set in the serial-to-parallel conversion circuit applied to the light emitter driver is stored in the address field. The cycle stores the cycle of transmitting light emission control data from the production control board 12 to the light emitter driver of the lamp board 14, and the unit light emission time stores the unit time for causing the LED 9 corresponding to the light emitter driver to emit light. be remembered. In this embodiment, the data transmission cycle will be described as 10 ms (milliseconds).

In the light emission control period, a time that is a control unit for one period of light emission (hereinafter, this period is referred to as a "light emission control period") is stored. This light emission control cycle differs depending on the type of light emission. Specifically, if the light emission type is "continuous" or "flashing", a time such as "100ms" can be set, and if the light emission type is "switching" (special light color due to a change in multiple colors). In the case of rainbow-colored light emission, etc., a time such as "1800 ms" can be set.

The formatting data stores time-series Q data to be included in the light emission control data by applying the format of the format type. Specifically, in the formatting data, a light emission order and Q data corresponding to RGB values corresponding to the light emission order are defined in association with each other.

In this embodiment, the explanation will be given assuming that the light emission of the frame LEDs 9L1 to 9L12 and 9R1 to 9R12 is controlled by Q data (color hexadecimal numbers, RGB color values) expressed in hexadecimal numbers. In color hexadecimal numbers, "16 x 16 = 256 gradations" is expressed by expressing each of RGB with 2 digits in total of 6 digits in hexadecimal numbers (0 to F), but in this specification, 2 digits each of RGB The illustrations and explanations will be made assuming that the numerical values are the same value, and that each of RGB is abbreviated to one digit each, to a total of three digits. Further, for the sake of simplicity, the notation "0x" representing a hexadecimal number is omitted in the illustrations and descriptions.

In addition, the Q data includes Q data for group 1, Q data for group 2, and Q data for group 2 as Q data to be output to the serial-parallel conversion circuit that constitutes the light emitter driver corresponding to the address. Q data targeting 3 is included. The Q data corresponding to each group stores RGB values to be output from the four output terminals Q included in the group.

I will explain in detail. For example, if the data transmission cycle is "10ms", it is determined that data is transmitted from the effect control board 12 to the light emitting element driver every 10ms. Furthermore, if the unit light emitting time is "100 ms", it is determined that the target LED is caused to emit light in the unit light emitting time of 100 ms. Further, if the light emission control cycle is "100ms", the light emission type of the light emission pattern is "continuous", and in order to perform continuous light emission of a specific color, the same time as the unit light emission time is determined as the light emission control cycle. There is.

For example, in the formatting data, the light emission order is determined from "1" to "N", and for each light emission order "1" to "N", the Q data (RGB value) of each group is determined. If "0, 0, F" is defined as "0, 0, F", the R value and G value of the Q data are set to "0" and the B value is set to "F" for all light emission orders. Continuous blue light emission is achieved.

Next, control data for controlling the gradation of the LED and realizing light emission by mixed colors will be explained. The Q data (RGB values) in the gradation control data described here can be applied as is to the Q data of the formatting data included in the above-mentioned light emission control generation data.

Figure 13-22 shows gradation control data that is control data for performing gradation control to achieve rainbow-colored blinking (corresponding to flash rainbow emission, light emission pattern LP3-2, etc.) in frame LEDs 9L1 to 9L12. An example is illustrated. Note that the gradation control data for the frame LEDs 9R1 to 9R12 is omitted from illustration because it corresponds to the frame LEDs 9L1 to 9L12. In this gradation control data, the left column shows the switching unit light emitting time Δtn, and the right column shows each group (group 1 (9L1), group 2 (9L2), group 3 (9L3), group 4 ( Q data (RGB values) corresponding to 9L4), . . . ) is expressed in hexadecimal.

In addition, in the light emission order 2 of the gradation control data shown in FIG. 0'', the frame LEDs 9L1 to 9L12 are turned off.

In addition, in the light emission order 1 of the gradation control data shown in FIG. 13-22, the switching unit light emission time Δtn is 30 ms, the Q data (RGB values) of groups 1 and 2 are "0, 4, Q data (RGB values) of group 4 is "0, C, F", Q data (RGB values) of group 5 is "0, F, D" ”, Group 6 Q data (RGB value) is “0, F, 9”, Group 7 Q data (RGB value) is “0, F, 5”, Group 8 Q data (RGB value) is “0” , F, 1'', the Q data (RGB value) of group 9 is ``2, F, 0'', the Q data (RGB value) of group 10 is ``6, F, 0'', the Q data (RGB value) of group 11 is ) is "A, F, 0" and the Q data (RGB value) of group 12 is "F, F, 0", so that frame LEDs 9L1 to 9L12 each have different emitting colors (different from the emitting color of emitting order 3). ).

In this way, by controlling the frame LEDs 9L1 to 9L12 to sequentially switch the luminescent color of the frame LEDs 9L1 to 9L12 in a plurality of colors with a short switching unit light emission time Δts, and controlling the frame LEDs 9L1 to 9L12 to turn off in between, it is possible to It can be visually recognized as if it were flashing in rainbow colors. Note that the intervening mode is not limited to turning off the light, but may also be, for example, a white color that does not constitute a rainbow color. When emitting white light, "1, RGB values with low brightness such as "1, 1" may be set.

Figure 13-21 shows gradation control data that is control data for performing gradation control to achieve rainbow-colored lighting (corresponding to smooth rainbow light emission, light emission pattern LP3-1, etc.) in frame LEDs 9L1 to 9L12. An example is illustrated.

The gradation control data shown in FIG. 13-21 differs from the gradation control data shown in FIG. 13-21 in that there is no interposed control for turning off the frame LEDs 9L1 to 9L12. Therefore, it can be visually perceived by humans as if it were lit in rainbow colors. In the light emission order 1 of the gradation control data, the switching unit light emission time Δtn is 40 ms, and light emission of the same color as the light emission order 2 of the gradation control data is realized. In addition, with the gradation control data, by controlling the frame LEDs 9L1 to 9L12 to sequentially switch between multiple colors in a short switching unit light emitting time Δts, the lights are illuminated in rainbow colors to the human eye. It can be visually recognized as if it were there.

Next, as shown in FIG. 13-6(C), the output patterns of BGM and sound effects in SP reach performances A to E will be explained. In addition, the various sound patterns described below are different from other sound patterns in at least one of multiple elements such as volume, sound quality, rhythm, tempo, and music, and each sound pattern can be changed in various ways. It is possible.

During the execution period (ta2 to ta3) of the bowling showdown and battle showdown in the SP reach performance, BGM and sound effects are output in the sound pattern BP1-1 in the SP reach performance A, and in the sound pattern BP1-1 in the SP reach performance B. BGM and sound effects are output in 2, BGM and sound effects are output in sound patterns BP1-3 in SP reach effect C, and BGM and sound effects are output in sound patterns BP1-4 in SP reach effect D. In SP reach effect E, BGM and sound effects are output in sound patterns BP1-5.

Further, during the execution period of the "win/fail button performance" in the SP ready-to-win performance, common sound patterns BP2-1 to BP2-4 are output in the SP ready-to-reach performances A to E. Regarding the sound patterns BP2-2 to BP2-4, one is selected based on the variable display result, and the expectation level increases in the order of sound patterns BP2-2, BP2-3, and BP2-4. ing.

In addition, during the execution period of the "movable body performance" and "jackpot notification" in the SP reach performance, BGM and sound effects are output in the sound patterns BP0-1 to BP0-3 in the SP reach performance A to E. In addition, during the execution period of the "missing notification" in the SP reach performance, the SP reach performances A to E are lit with common sound patterns BP3-1 to BP3-3.

In addition, in the re-lottery variation part in post-production A and the scheduled ball addition part (ta5 to ta6) in post-production B, SP reach productions A to C are output with sound pattern BP4-1, and SP reach production D, In E, BGM and sound effects are output in sound pattern BP4-4.

In addition, in the re-lottery result part in post performance A and the scheduled ball notification part (ta6 to ta7) in post performance B, in SP reach performances A to C, sound pattern BP4-2 or sound pattern BP4-3 BGM and sound effects are output, and in SP reach effects D and E, BGM and sound effects are output in sound pattern BP4-5 or sound pattern BP4-6.

Note that the sound patterns BP1-1 to 4, BP2-1 to 4, BP0-1 to 3, BP3-1 to 3, and BP4-1 to 4 each output sound in a different manner based on the sound control data. The outline of each sound pattern will be explained below.

As shown in Figure 13-7 (B), in "Bowling/Battle", sound pattern BP1-1 is the voice when introducing the reach title for SP reach effect A, the voice of "Knock down the pin!", and the voice of SP reach This is the pattern in which BGM of production A is output (see Figure 13-10), and sound pattern BP1-2 is the voice when introducing the reach title for SP reach production B, the voice of "Fight!", and the voice of "Settle next". This is the pattern in which the voice of ally A-1 saying "It's!", the BGM of SP reach effect B, and the battle sound effect are output (see Figure 13-11 (A2)), and the sound pattern BP1-3 is the sound pattern of SP reach effect C. This is the pattern in which the voice when the reach title is introduced, the voice of "Fight!", the voice of ally A-2 saying "It's decided next time!", the BGM of SP reach effect C, and the battle sound effects are output (Fig. 13-11 (A3)), sound pattern BP1-4 is the voice when the reach title is introduced for SP reach effect D, the voice of "Fight!", and the voice of ally A-1 of "It's settled next!" , is the pattern in which the BGM and battle sound effects of SP reach effect D are output (see Figure 13-12 (A4)), and sound pattern BP1-5 is the voice when introducing the reach title for SP reach effect E, `` Fight!'' voice, ally A-1's voice saying ``It's settled next time!'', SP Reach Effect E BGM, and battle sound effects are output (see Figure 13-12 (A5)).

In the "true/fail button performance", sound pattern BP2-1 is a pattern in which a voice saying "keep pressing the button to accumulate power" and a sound effect with power level 0 are output (see Figure 13-13), Sound pattern BP2-2 is a pattern in which a sound effect of power level 1 is output, sound pattern BP2-3 is a pattern in which a sound effect of power level 2 is output, and sound pattern BP2-4 is a pattern in which a sound effect of power level 2 is output. This is a pattern in which a voice at level 3 (MAX) and a sound effect at power level 3 (MAX) are output.

In the "missing notification", sound pattern BP3-1 is a pattern in which a sound effect of failure is output (see Figure 13-16 (H1)), and sound pattern BP3-2 is a pattern in which a sound effect of failure is output (refer to Figure 13-16 (H1)), and sound pattern BP3-2 is a pattern in which a sound effect of failure is output ) voice, battle defeat BGM is output (see Figure 13-16 (H2) (H4) (H5)), and sound pattern BP3-3 is the defeat (regrettable) voice of ally A-2, battle defeat BGM is output. This is the pattern in which BGM of defeat is output (see Figure 13-16 (H3)).

In "Movable body performance & jackpot notification", sound pattern BP0-1 is a pattern in which the sound effect of the movable body performance, the sound effect of success, and the BGM of success are output (see Figure 13-15 (E1)), Sound pattern BP0-2 is a pattern in which the sound effect of the moving body production, the victory voice of ally A-1, and the BGM of battle victory are output (see Figure 13-15 (E2) (E4) (E5)), The sound pattern BP0-3 is a pattern in which the sound effect of the moving body performance, the victory voice of ally A-2, and the BGM of the battle victory are output (see FIG. 13-15 (E3)).

In "re-lottery variation/scheduled ball addition", sound pattern BP4-1 is a pattern in which the BGM of re-lottery variation is output (see Figure 13-17 (F1)), and sound pattern BP4-4 is a pattern in which the BGM of re-lottery variation is output. This is a pattern in which the BGM for adding up pitches, the sound effect (attack) for adding up expected pitches, the voice for teammate A-1's adding up expected pitches, and the voice "Push!" are output (see FIG. 13-18).

In the "re-lottery result/scheduled ball notification", sound pattern BP4-2 is a pattern in which the sound effect of the even numbered symbols and the BGM of the re-lottery result are output (Figure 13-17 (F2), sound pattern BP4 -3 is a pattern in which the sound effect of the odd numbered symbols and the BGM of the re-lottery result is output (see Figure 13-17 (F3)), and the sound pattern BP4-5 is the BGM of the scheduled ball notification, 750. This is a pattern in which sound effects are output (see Figure 13-19 (G1-3) to (G3)), and sound pattern BP4-6 is the BGM of scheduled pitch notification, 1500 sound effects, and MAX voice output. (See Figures 13-19 (G1-4) to (G4)).

In addition, the sound pattern during the execution period of the movable body performance is the same for any type of SP reach performance A to E (sound pattern BP0-1 to BP0-3), thereby further reducing manufacturing costs. I can do it.

In the present embodiment, the operation can be performed at any timing when the operation of the push button 31B is detected during the operation validity period during which the "pass/fail button effect" is executed, or at any timing when the operation of the push button 31B is not detected and the operation validity period ends. Although the example has been exemplified in which the sound pattern during the execution period of the movable object performance is the common sound pattern BP2-1 to BP2-4 even when the "movable object performance" is executed at the timing when it ends, the present invention is not limited to this. Instead, the sound effects may be output in different sound patterns depending on the timing at which the operation of the push button 31B is detected during the operation validity period during which the "pass/fail button effect" is executed. By doing so, the sound effects can be changed depending on the timing of the player's operations, thereby improving the interest in the game.

(Flow of SP reach performance A to E)
Next, the flow of SP reach effects A to E will be explained based on FIG. 13-8. FIG. 13-8 is a tree diagram showing the flow of SP reach effects A to E.

As shown in Figure 13-8, in SP reach α, β, and γ, when the SP reach effect is developed from the N reach effect, in the case of SP reach effect A, bowling as shown in (A1) In the case of SP reach effect B, the start image of battle A between ally character A-1 and enemy character X-1 is displayed as shown in (A2), and in the case of SP reach effect C. In the case of SP reach effect D, the starting image of the battle A between ally character A-2 and enemy character X-2 is displayed as shown in (A3), and in the case of SP reach effect D, ally character A- 1 and enemy character X-1 is displayed, and in the case of SP reach effect E, the start image of battle B between ally character A-1 and enemy character X-2 is displayed as shown in (A5). The image is displayed. In this way, the performance mode of the first half in SP ready-to-reach performances A to E is different for each of SP ready-to-reach performances A to E.

Next, a win/fail button performance is started at a predetermined timing in the final stage of the SP reach performance. Specifically, as shown in (B1), after the first operation promotion effect that promotes the long-press operation of the push button 31B is started, a predetermined period of time has elapsed since the start of the first operation promotion effect. At this timing, as shown in (B2), a second operation promotion effect is started to promote the release operation of the long press operation of the push button 31B. In this way, the performance mode of the win/fail button performance is common to the SP reach performances A to E.

Next, when the variable display result is a jackpot, the timing when a release operation of the long press operation of the push button 31B is detected during the operational validity period of the win/fail button effect, or the release operation of the long press operation of the push button 31B is detected. At the timing when the valid operation period has elapsed without being executed, an image showing the last throw in bowling or the last blow in battle is displayed, as shown in (C).

Next, in the case of SP reach performance A, as shown in (D1), the movable body 32 falls from the origin position to the performance position, and an image indicating that the ball has hit the pin is displayed, and SP reach performance B In this case, as shown in (D2), the movable body 32 falls from the origin position to the effect position, and an image indicating that enemy character X-1 has been attacked is displayed, and in the case of SP reach effect C, , as shown in (D3), the movable body 32 falls from the origin position to the production position, and an image indicating that enemy character X-2 has been attacked is displayed, and in the case of SP reach production D, (D4 ), the movable body 32 falls from the origin position to the production position, and an image indicating that enemy character X-1 has been attacked is displayed, and in the case of SP reach production E, as shown in (D5). As shown, the movable body 32 falls from the origin position to the presentation position, and an image showing that the enemy character X-2 has been attacked is displayed. In this way, the performance mode of the movable body performance is different between the SP ready-to-reach performances A, the SP ready-to-reach performances B and D, and the SP ready-to-reach performances C and E.

Next, in the case of SP reach effect A, a result image indicating that the pin has fallen is displayed, as shown in (E1), and in the case of SP reach effect B, as shown in (E2), a result image is displayed in battle A. A result image indicating victory is displayed, and in the case of SP reach effect C, a result image indicating victory in battle A is displayed, as shown in (E3), and in the case of SP reach effect D, ( As shown in E4), a result image showing that Battle B has been won is displayed, and in the case of SP reach effect E, a result image that shows that Battle A has been won is displayed as shown in (E5). Ru. It should be noted that the performance mode of the result notification is different for each of the SP reach performances A to E.

Next, in the case of SP reach effects A to C, post effect A is started, and in the re-lottery variation part shown in (F1), an image in which the decorative symbols that were temporarily stopped and displayed in (E1 to E3) are displayed again in a variable manner is displayed. After being displayed, in the re-lottery result parts shown in (F2) and (F3), the determined decorative symbols that become a predetermined jackpot combination are stopped and displayed.

In addition, in the case of SP reach effect D, post-effect B is started, and in the scheduled ball addition part shown in (G1), ally character A-1 displayed in (A4) attacks enemy character X-1. An image in which the expected pitches are added is displayed, and in the case of SP reach performance E, post-effect B is started, and in the scheduled pitch addition part shown in (G2), the teammate displayed in (A5) An image in which the character A-1 attacks the enemy character X-2 and the expected pitches are added is displayed. Next, in the case of SP reach effects D and E, the expected number of pitches to be pitched is displayed in the scheduled pitch notification parts shown in (G3) and (G4).

On the other hand, if the variable display result is a failure, the timing at which the release operation of the long press operation of the push button 31B is detected during the operation validity period of the win/fail button effect, or the release operation of the long press operation of the push button 31B is detected. At the timing when the effective period of operation has passed without being executed, the images shown in (C) (D1 to D5) are not displayed, and in the case of SP reach effect A, as shown in (H1), the image shown in (C) (D1 to D5) is not displayed, indicating that the strike has failed. In the case of SP reach effect B, a result image indicating that battle A has been defeated is displayed, as shown in (H2), and in the case of SP reach effect C, as shown in (H3). As shown in FIG.

Then, when a predetermined time has elapsed since the result images 018SG270A to 018SG270E were displayed, the result images 018SG270A to 018SG270E are hidden, and as shown in FIG. 13-16 (H6), the decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5C, In 5R, a confirmed decorative pattern (for example, 676, etc.) of a predetermined reach combination that is not a jackpot combination (also referred to as a "reach miss") is displayed in a stopped state, thereby executing a miss confirmation notification indicating that the miss has been confirmed. .

Next, when jackpot confirmation notification is executed in SP reach effects A to C, post-effect effect A shown in FIG. 13-17 is executed.

Specifically, in the jackpot confirmation notification, after the confirmed decorative symbols (for example, 666, etc.) that are a predetermined jackpot combination are temporarily stopped and displayed in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R, the screen shown in FIG. 13-17 In the re-lottery variation part shown in (F1), the re-variable display of decorative symbols is started in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R. In addition, as a light emission effect, the movable LED 208 and frame LEDs 9L1 to 9L12 and 9R1 to 9R12 light up based on the light emission pattern LP4-1, and as a sound effect, BGM is played from the speakers 8L and 8R based on the sound pattern BP4-1. is output.

In the re-lottery result part shown in Figure 13-17 (F2), if the jackpot type is jackpot A (non-probable variable), a predetermined A combination of even numbers (for example, 666, etc.) is stopped and displayed as a fixed decorative pattern that becomes a jackpot combination, and the variable display ends. In addition, as a light emission effect, the movable LED 208 and frame LEDs 9L1 to 9L12 and 9R1 to 9R12 light up based on the light emission pattern LP4-2, and as a sound effect, BGM is played from the speakers 8L and 8R based on the sound pattern BP4-2. is output.

In addition, in the re-lottery result part shown in Figure 13-17 (F3), if the jackpot type is jackpot B (probability variable), a predetermined jackpot will be announced when a predetermined time has elapsed after the start of the re-variable display. A combination of odd-numbered symbols (for example, 333, etc.) is stopped and displayed as a fixed decorative symbol to be a combination, and the variable display ends. Furthermore, as a light emitting effect, the movable LED 208 and frame LEDs 9L1 to 9L12 and 9R1 to 9R12 light up based on the light emitting pattern LP4-3, and as a sound effect, BGM is played from the speakers 8L and 8R based on the sound pattern BP4-3. is output.

Next, when jackpot confirmation notification is executed in SP reach effects D and E, post-effect effect B shown in FIG. 13-18 is executed.

Specifically, in the jackpot confirmation notification, after the confirmed decorative symbols (for example, 666, etc.) that are a predetermined jackpot combination are temporarily stopped and displayed in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R, the screen shown in FIG. 13-18 In the expected ball addition part shown in (G1-1), the background image 018SG280 representing the universe, the character image 018SGA1 representing the ally character A-1, and the expected ball number given in the jackpot game state displaying the expected number of balls. The expected pitch counter display 018SG281 representing the number of pitches is displayed, and the post performance B is started. In addition, as a light emission effect, the movable LED 208 and frame LEDs 9L1 to 9L12 and 9R1 to 9R12 light up based on the light emission pattern LP4-4, and as a sound effect, BGM is played from the speakers 8L and 8R based on the sound pattern BP4-4. is output.

Next, in the case of SP reach effect D, as shown in FIG. 13-18 (G1), a character image 018SGA1 representing the ally character A-1 and a character image 018SGX1 representing the enemy character X-1 are displayed, and the character image 018SGX1 representing the ally character An image of character A-1 attacking enemy character It is added to the counter value displayed on the scheduled pitch count counter display 018SG281.

In addition, in the case of SP reach effect E, as shown in FIG. 13-18 (G2), a character image 018SGA1 indicating the ally character A-1 and a character image 018SGX2 indicating the enemy character X-2 are displayed, and the ally character An image of character A-1 attacking enemy character It is added to the counter value displayed on the scheduled pitch count counter display 018SG281.

Then, as shown in FIG. 13-18 (G1-2), when the counter value displayed on the expected pitch count counter display 018SG281 reaches a predetermined value (for example, "300"), the push button 31B is pressed. The pressed button image 018SG283, an operation promotion display 018SG284 such as "Press!!", and a gauge display 018SG285 indicating the remaining operation validity period are displayed, and an operation promotion effect that promotes a single press operation of the push button 31B is executed. Ru.

Next, in the case of SP reach effect D, as shown in FIG. 13-19 (G1-3), the timing at which the pressing operation of the push button 31B is detected or the pressing operation is detected before the predetermined operation validity period elapses At the timing when the operation validity period has elapsed without being detected, character image 018SGA1 and character image 018SGX1 are displayed, ally character A-1 attacks enemy character X-1, and the counter value of expected pitch counter display 018SG281 is displayed. is displayed variably. Furthermore, as a light emitting effect, the movable LED 208 and frame LEDs 9L1 to 9L12 and 9R1 to 9R12 light up based on the light emitting pattern LP4-5, and as a sound effect, BGM is played from the speakers 8L and 8R based on the sound pattern BP4-5. and sound effects are output.

On the other hand, in the case of SP reach effect E, as shown in FIG. 13-19 (G1-4), the timing at which the pressing operation of the push button 31B is detected or the pressing operation is detected before the predetermined operation validity period has elapsed At the timing when the operation validity period has elapsed without being detected, character image 018SGA1 and character image 018SGX2 are displayed, ally character A-1 attacks enemy character X-2, and the counter value of expected pitch counter display 018SG281 is displayed. is displayed variably. In addition, as a light emission effect, the movable LED 208 and frame LEDs 9L1 to 9L12 and 9R1 to 9R12 light up based on the light emission pattern LP4-6, and as a sound effect, BGM is played from the speakers 8L and 8R based on the sound pattern BP4-6. , sound effects, and voices are output.

Then, as shown in FIG. 13-19 (G1-5), a character image 018SGA1 and a special image 018SGXZ in which the attacked enemy character X-2 disappears and becomes a star after being blown away are displayed, and The expected number of pitched balls counter display 018SG281 is enlarged and displayed in the center of the display screen, and a predetermined counter value (for example, "750" which is the expected number of pitched balls that can be obtained in the case of "6R jackpot") is stopped and displayed.

As shown in FIG. 13-19 (G3), in the case of jackpot B (6R jackpot), the counter value displayed on the expected pitch count counter display 018SG281 is not updated and is controlled to a jackpot gaming state.

Also, as shown in Figure 13-19 (G4), in the case of jackpot C (10R jackpot), the counter value displayed on the expected pitch counter display 018SG281 is a predetermined counter value (for example, "1500" etc.) After being updated and displayed, the game is controlled to a jackpot gaming state.

(SP reach performance type determination table)
Next, in the variable display start setting process (step S171) in the production control process shown in FIG. In the determination process, the SP ready-to-win performance type fixed table used when determining the SP ready-to-win performance type will be explained. FIGS. 13-20 are diagrams in which (A) shows the SP ready-to-win performance type fixed table A, (B) shows the SP ready-to-win performance type fixed table B, and (C) shows the SP ready-to-win performance type fixed table C.

In the SP reach effect type determination process, for example, a random number (0 to 99) for determining the SP reach effect type is extracted, and one of the SP reach effect type determination tables A to C shown in FIG. 13-20 is used to determine the SP reach effect type. Decide the performance type.

In the SP reach performance type determination table, as shown in Figures 13-20 (A) to (C), "Jackpot C (10R)", "Jackpot B (6R)", "Jackpot A (6R)", " 13-20 (A) to (C), different determination values are assigned to each of the SP reach effect types.

When the variation pattern is SP reach α, the SP reach effect type determination table A shown in FIG. 13-20(A) is used. Specifically, in the case of "Jackpot B (6R)", 100 determination values are assigned to "Pattern PA-1". In the case of "Jackpot A (6R)", 100 judgment values are assigned to "Pattern PA-1". In the case of "miss", 100 judgment values are assigned to "pattern PA-2".

When the variation pattern is SP reach β, SP reach effect type determination table B shown in FIG. 13-20(B) is used. Specifically, in the case of "Jackpot B (6R)", 30 judgment values are assigned to "Pattern PB-1" and 70 judgment values are assigned to "Pattern PC-1". . In the case of "Jackpot A (6R)", 70 determination values are assigned to "Pattern PB-1" and 30 determination values are assigned to "Pattern PC-1". In the case of "miss", 70 determination values are assigned to "pattern PB-2" and 30 determination values are assigned to "pattern PC-2".

In other words, when the SP reach beta jackpot fluctuation pattern is determined in a low base state, when the jackpot type is "jackpot B (6R)" which is more advantageous for the player than "jackpot A (6R)", the SP reach effect C is determined at a higher rate than SP reach effect B.

Further, when the variation pattern is SP reach γ, SP reach effect type determination table C shown in FIG. 13-20(C) is used. Specifically, in the case of "Jackpot C (10R)", 40 judgment values are assigned to "Pattern PD-1" and 60 judgment values are assigned to "Pattern PE-1". . In the case of "Jackpot B (6R)", 60 determination values are assigned to "Pattern PD-1" and 40 determination values are assigned to "Pattern PE-1". In the case of "miss", 60 determination values are assigned to "pattern PD-2" and 40 determination values are assigned to "pattern PE-2".

In other words, when the SP reach γ jackpot fluctuation pattern is determined in a high base state, when the jackpot type is "jackpot C (10R)" which is more advantageous for the player than "jackpot B (6R)", the SP reach effect E is determined at a higher rate than SP reach effect D.

(action/effect)
As explained above, the performance control CPU 120 displays the enemy character X-1 and uses the enemy character X-1 to notify whether or not the jackpot game state is controlled. It is possible to execute SP reach effect B) and a second specific effect (for example, SP reach effect A) that informs whether or not the jackpot game state is controlled without displaying the enemy character. When a jackpot is announced in , it is possible to perform a "movable body performance" as a special performance during the execution period of the SP reach performance, and the movement of the movable body 32 during the execution period of the movable body performance in SP reach performance B. The character image 018SGX1 is displayed together with the effect image 018SG250B related to the character image 018SGX1, and during the execution period of the movable body effect in the SP reach effect A, the character image 018SGX1 is displayed while the effect image 018SG250B having the same aspect as the SP reach effect B is displayed. However, the light emission pattern of the movable body LED 208 in the movable body performance is the same light emission pattern LP3- when the movable body performance is performed in SP reach performance B and when the movable body performance is performed in SP reach performance A. It is 2.

By doing this, the operation mode of the movable body 32 and the light emitting mode of the movable body LED 208 in the movable body production are the same between SP reach performance B in which the enemy character is displayed and SP reach performance A in which the enemy character is not displayed. This makes it possible to reduce the manufacturing cost by increasing the performance, and to improve the performance effect by increasing the relationship between the SP reach performance and the movable body performance depending on whether or not the enemy character is displayed during the execution period of the movable body performance.

More specifically, in SP reach performance B and SP reach performance A, which have different performance modes, regarding the movable body performance performed during the SP reach performance, the execution timing and the operation mode of the movable body 32 are the same, but the effect As for image 018SG250B, by setting the display mode to correspond to each SP ready-to-reach effect, it is possible to suppress the flow of SP ready-to-reach effects from being divided by the movable body effects.

In addition, in this embodiment, an example is given in which SP reach effect B is applied as the first specific effect, but the present invention is not limited to this, and can also be applied to any of SP reach effects C to E. It is possible.

In addition, the execution period of the movable body performance includes a first period and a second period after the first period, and the performance mode in the first period is common for SP reach performances B to E and SP reach performance A. On the other hand (the attack image 018SG250 in Figure 13-14 (C) is the same), the performance mode in the second period is different between SP reach effects B to E and SP reach effect A (see Figure 13-14 (D1)). The image shown is different from the image shown in FIGS. 13-14 (D2 to D5). By doing this, by making the production mode the same until the first period, we can further reduce manufacturing costs, and until the first period, SP reach effects B to E and SP reach effect A can be used. Since it becomes unclear which one is the one, the entertainment of the SP reach performance can be improved.

In addition, as SP reach effect, it is possible to execute SP reach effect E that displays enemy X-2 different from enemy character X-1, and the percentage of control to the jackpot state is when SP reach effect B is executed and when SP reach effect E is executed. In other words, when the variable display result is a jackpot in the low base state, the determination ratio of the SP reach β fluctuation pattern that can execute SP reach effect B is 300/997, and when the variable display result is a jackpot in the high base state The determination ratio of SP reach γ variation patterns that can execute SP reach effect E is 800/997. In the SP reach effect C, the effect image 018SG250B common to the SP reach effect B according to the movement of the movable body 32 is displayed during the execution period of the movable body effect executed when a jackpot is announced, and the enemy Character image 018SGX2 indicating character This is a common light emission pattern LP3-2.

By doing this, the operating mode of the movable body 32 and the light emitting pattern of the movable body LED 208 in the movable body performance can be made common and the manufacturing cost can be reduced, while the SP reach performance has different ratios of being controlled to the jackpot state. Since it is possible to increase the number of SP reach effects and draw attention to which SP reach effect will be executed, the game enjoyment can be improved.

In addition, the enemy character X1 displayed in the movable body performance executed in SP reach performance B is displayed in a manner similar to the effect image, so that the relationship between the enemy character and the effect image can be enhanced. , it is possible to enhance the performance effect of the moving body performance.

In addition, the performance control CPU 120 displays the enemy character and uses the enemy character to notify whether or not the jackpot game state is controlled. (For example, SP reach effect D), the movable body effect can be executed during the execution period of SP reach effect B and D (ta3 to ta4 of ta2 to ta5), and the movable body effect can be executed. During the period, in both SP reach effect B and SP reach effect D, the character image 018SGX1 is displayed together with a common effect image related to the movement of the movable body 32 (for example, effect image 018SG250B), and in the case of SP reach effect B. , instead of the post-effect B using the enemy character In this case, post-effect B (see FIGS. 13-18 and 13-19) using the enemy character X-1 displayed in the SP reach effect is executed.

By doing this, SP reach performance B and SP reach performance D can share the operation mode of the enemy character and the movable body 32 in the movable body performance and reduce manufacturing costs, while also providing a common enemy character X. By displaying -1 with a different effect, it is possible to enhance the relationship between SP reach effects B and D and the movable body effect and between SP reach effects B and D and post effects A and B, thereby improving the effect of the effect.

In more detail, even in the post-production after the jackpot confirmation is announced in the SP reach production, the characters displayed in the SP reach production will be used to notify the result of the re-fluctuation of the decorative symbols and the number of balls scheduled to be rolled out. Therefore, regardless of the type of SP reach effect, notifications such as re-variation results and scheduled number of pitches will be made in common, while display contents will correspond to the type of SP reach effect. It becomes possible to show the post performance as a series of performances.

Furthermore, the performance control CPU 120 can execute a special performance that changes the enemy character Yes, in SP reach effect B, character image 018SGX1Z is displayed in which the defeated enemy character X-1 is hidden due to a fade-out display in the jackpot notification before post effect A (see Figure 13-15 (E2)). In SP reach performance D, in post-performance B, a special image 018SGXZ is displayed in which the attacked enemy character X-2 disappears into a star after being sent flying (see FIG. 13-19 (G1-5)). By doing this, the timing at which the special performance is performed changes depending on the type of SP reach performance, so the performance effect can be improved.

In this embodiment, as special effects, there are effects such as an effect in which the defeated enemy character X-1 disappears through a fade-out display, and an effect in which the attacked enemy character X-2 disappears after being sent flying and becomes a star. Although the present invention is not limited to this example, the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention is not limited to this. It may also be an effect displaying an effect image, etc.). In addition, there are various effects that can be used as long as the character does not become invisible but changes in appearance, such as increasing the transmittance, decreasing brightness, or deforming the image. Can be changed.

In addition, if SP reach performance B is executed when the SP reach β jackpot fluctuation pattern is determined in the low base state, the "jackpot effect" is more advantageous for the player than "jackpot A (6R)" (first advantageous state). B(6R)" (second advantageous state) is 30%, and if SP reach effect D is executed when the SP reach γ jackpot fluctuation pattern is determined in the high base state, "jackpot The percentage of the game being controlled to be "Jackpot C (10R)" (second advantageous state), which is more advantageous to the player than "B (6R)" (first advantageous state), is 40%. By doing this, it is possible to draw attention to which of the SP reach effects B and D will be executed, thereby improving the interest in the game.

In addition, the performance control CPU 120 displays the enemy character X-1 and the ally character A-1, and determines whether or not the enemy character X-1 and the ally character A-1 will be controlled to a jackpot game state. A first specific effect to be notified (for example, SP reach effect D), an enemy character X-2 different from the enemy character X-1, and an ally character A-1 are displayed, and the enemy character X-2 and the ally character A- are displayed. It is possible to execute a second specific performance (for example, SP reach performance E) that informs whether or not the jackpot game state is controlled using 1, and when the movable body performance is executed in SP reach performance D. , by displaying and operating the enemy character X-1 and ally character A-1 displayed in the SP reach effect D, the award is given in the jackpot game state in which it is announced that it will be controlled in the SP reach effect D. It is possible to execute a post-production B that notifies the expected number of pitches to be played, and when a movable body production is executed in the SP reach production E, the enemy character X-2 and the ally character A displayed in the SP reach production E can be executed. By displaying and operating -1, it is possible to execute a post performance B that notifies the expected number of balls to be given in the jackpot game state that is notified that it will be controlled in the SP reach performance E, and at least a teammate The behavior of the character A-1 is common to the post-effect B that corresponds to the SP ready-to-reach effect D and the post-effect B that corresponds to the SP ready-to-reach effect E (see FIGS. 13-18 and 13-19).

By doing this, by using a common ally character in the SP reach performance and the post-production, it is possible to reduce manufacturing costs, and it becomes easier to understand the relationship between the SP reach production and the post-production, so the production effect can also be increased.

In addition, the background image 018SG280 representing the universe is common to the post-effect B of the SP reach effect D and the post-effect B of the SP reach effect E (see Figures 13-18 to 13-19), so the background image also Since it can be made common, manufacturing costs can be further reduced.

In addition, the ally character A-1 is common to the post-effect B of the SP reach effect D and the post-effect B of the SP reach effect E (see Figures 13-18 to 13-19), so the special characters are also common. Therefore, manufacturing costs can be further reduced.

In addition, in the post-effect B corresponding to the SP reach effect D, an image of enemy character X-1 and ally character A-1 fighting is displayed at the same time, and in the post-effect B corresponding to the SP reach effect E, the enemy character By displaying the images of X-2 and ally character A-1 fighting at the same time (see Figures 13-18 to 13-19), each character is displayed at the same time, giving a better impression of post-production B. It is possible to improve the production effect.

In addition, as a post performance, the performance control CPU 120 performs a first post performance (for example, post performance B) of a performance mode related to the SP reach performance D when a movable body performance is executed in the SP reach performance D; When the movable body performance is executed in the reach performance E, the second post-effect (for example, post-effect B) of the performance mode related to the SP reach performance E, and when the movable body performance is executed in the SP reach performance A, The third post-effect (for example, post-effect A) of the performance mode related to SP reach effect A can be executed and the ratio of being controlled to the second advantageous state is SP reach effect D, SP reach effect E, and SP reach effect. It depends on which of the performances A is executed.

In other words, when the SP reach γ jackpot fluctuation pattern is determined in the high base state, "Jackpot C (10R)" (second advantageous state), which is more advantageous to the player than "Jackpot B (6R)" (first advantageous state), is determined. The percentage controlled by SP reach effect (state) is 40% when SP reach effect D is executed and 60% when SP reach effect E is executed, and the SP reach β jackpot fluctuation pattern is determined in the low base state. When the player receives a bonus, the percentage of control to "Jackpot B (6R)" (second advantageous state), which is more advantageous to the player than "Jackpot A (6R)" (first advantageous state), is determined by SP reach effect A. 100% if

By doing this, not only will a jackpot be notified by the SP reach effect, but also the rate at which the second advantageous state will be controlled will differ depending on which SP reach effect is executed, so the player The degree of attention can be suitably increased, and the interest in the game can be improved.

In addition, in the embodiment, the ally character and the enemy character that were displayed in the SP reach effect D are displayed as the first post effect of the effect mode related to the first specific effect, so that the first post effect is displayed. The production is related to the first specific production, and as a second post production of the production mode related to the second specific production, the friendly characters and enemy characters that were displayed in SP reach production E are displayed, The second post performance is related to the second specific performance, and the ally character and enemy character are not displayed in SP reach performance A and post performance A, thereby illustrating a form in which the third post performance is related to the third specific performance. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, by displaying the character displayed in the SP reach performance as the third post-production of the production mode related to the third specific production, The three post effects may be related to the third specific effect.

In other words, a post-production related to a specific production is a production that has at least some of the display modes in common with the display mode in the specific production, and the common production mode is that the character is displayed or the character is not displayed. The character types displayed in the specific performance and the subsequent performance may be different as long as they are the same. Furthermore, there may be four or more types of specific effects and post effects.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first specific performance and the second specific performance can be executed in a low base state, and the third specific performance can be executed in a high base state, but the present invention is not limited to this. The first specific performance, the second specific performance, and the third specific performance may all be performances that can be executed in a low base state, or performances that can all be performed in a high base state, but are not limited to this. In other words, the first specific performance, the second specific performance, and the third specific performance may be any performance that can be determined regardless of the game state.

Also, as a third specific performance, it is possible to perform SP reach performance F (for example, a battle performance with enemy character X-3 different from enemy characters X-1 and X-2) performed in a high base state. In this case, the ratio controlled to jackpot C (10R) may be SP reach effect F (50%)>SP reach effect E (35%)>SP reach effect D (15%). Note that the post performance C (third post performance) performed when a jackpot is announced in the SP reach performance F may have a longer performance period than the post performance A and B.

In addition, in the SP reach effect F, for example, the light emission pattern of the movable body effect shown in FIG. 13-6 (B) is the light emission pattern LP3-2 that is common to the SP reach effects A to E, and The sound pattern of the movable body performance shown in (C) is preferably the same sound pattern BP0-1 to BP0-3 as the SP reach performances A to E.

Further, in the embodiment, the second advantageous state that is more advantageous to the player than the first advantageous state is, for example, an advantageous state in which the jackpot game state is more advantageous than the first advantageous state (for example, the expected number of balls to be released is A form that applies an advantageous state in which the control state after the jackpot game state is more advantageous than the first advantageous state (for example, jackpot B or jackpot C that is controlled to a variable probability state after the end of the jackpot). Although exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this, and the second advantageous state refers to a control period for the number of balls thrown, the number of game rounds, the probability variable state, the time saving state, and the small winning state, compared to the first advantageous state. It may also include a state where the falling rate of probability fluctuation is advantageous. Further, the jackpot game state or the performance mode after the end of the jackpot game state may be an advantageous state that is advantageous to the player.

In addition, when applying the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the feature section 018SG to the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the feature sections 069G and 099G, for example, SP reach effect A in the feature section 018SG is changed to SP reach effect A and B of the feature sections 069G and 099G. Apply SP reach effects B and C in feature parts 018SG to SP reach C in feature parts 069G and 099G, and apply SP reach effects D and E in feature parts 018SG to SP reach D in feature parts 069G and 099G. Is possible.

(Explanation regarding transformation and application of characteristic part 018SG)
In the characteristic section 018SG, a form in which a jackpot gaming state is applied as an advantageous state advantageous to the player is exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the small winning gaming state, time saving state (high base state) , a variable probability state, etc. may also be applied.

In addition, in the characteristic part 018SG, although the movable body 32 is applied as an example of the movable body, the present invention is not limited to this, and movable bodies other than the movable body 32 provided on the game board are used. Alternatively, a movable body provided in the gaming machine frame 3 may be applied.

In addition, in the feature section 018SG, as specific performances that notify whether or not the game is controlled to be in an advantageous state, a form is illustrated in which SP reach performances A to E that notify whether or not the game is controlled to be in a jackpot gaming state are applied. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and normal reach effects, post effects, etc. may be applied.

Furthermore, in the feature section 018SG, the enemy characters X-1 and X-2 that confront the friendly characters A-1 and A-2 are used as specific characters and special characters, but the present invention applies to this. The present invention is not limited to this, and may be applicable to enemy characters other than those mentioned above, other characters that do not confront ally characters, or the like. Alternatively, it may be a character made of a live-action image of a person.

Further, in the feature section 018SG, a mode is illustrated in which ally characters A-1 and A-2 confronting enemy characters X-1 and X-2 are applied as special characters, but the present invention is not limited to this. Instead, it may be possible to apply friendly characters other than those mentioned above or other characters that do not confront enemy characters. Alternatively, it may be a character made of a live-action image of a person.

In addition, in the feature section 018SG, as a specific effect in which characters are displayed, a form in which SP reach effects A to E in which a special character (ally character) faces off against a specific character or a special character (enemy character) is applied is exemplified. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the special character, specific character, and special character may be a plurality of friendly characters or enemy characters that fight together without confronting each other, or a plurality of characters that do not confront each other. good.

In addition, in the feature section 018SG, a mode is illustrated in which a movable body effect is applied as a special effect in which the movable body is operated and the light emitting body is emitted, but the present invention is not limited to this, and other than the movable body 32 An effect that moves the movable body may be applied. Further, the operation mode of the movable body 32 can be changed in various ways.

In addition, in the characteristic part 018SG, the execution timing of the movable body performance is before the notification of jackpot confirmation in the latter stages of SP reach performances A to E, but it can be changed to various times such as the middle stage of SP reach performances A to E. It is. Furthermore, although the movable object performance can be started in response to the player's operation of the push button 31B, it may be started at a predetermined timing regardless of the operation.

(Characteristic part 1957SKY form)
(SKY2020-1957) The gaming machine of form 4-1 is
A gaming machine that variably displays first identification information or second identification information based on the establishment of a starting condition, and can be controlled to an advantageous state advantageous to a player,
control into a non-special state in which the starting condition of the first identification information is more likely to be met than the second identification information; and a special state in which the starting condition of the second identification information is more likely to be met than the first identification information. possible state control means;
A production control means capable of executing production;
Equipped with
The special state includes a post-advantageous state special state that is controlled when the advantageous state controlled from the non-special state ends, and a special state that is controlled on the condition that a specific number of variable displays have been executed. and after special conditions,
The degree of advantage is higher when the vehicle is controlled to the advantageous state based on the variable display of the second identification information than when it is controlled to the advantageous state based on the variable display of the first identification information,
The performance execution means is
When the special state is controlled after reaching the specific number of times, it is possible to perform a notification effect that notifies that the special state is controlled after reaching the specific number of times,
In the special state after reaching the specific number of times, the notification effect is executed when the first variable display of the second identification information is executed, and before the first variable display of the second identification information is executed. The notification effect is not executed when the variable display of the first identification information is executed.
It is characterized by this.
According to these characteristics,
Although the second identification information was finally given the opportunity to be variably displayed after a specific number of variable displays, the first identification information was controlled to be in an advantageous state immediately after the special state started after reaching the specific number of times. In this case, it is possible to prevent the player from becoming mentally discouraged without giving the player the impression that the time has been controlled to be shortened after reaching the specific number of times.
When performing a variable display toward reaching a specific number of times, in order to display the second identification information variably from the first time in a special state after reaching the specific number of times, the first identification information is displayed in the variable display of the specific number of times. Playing a game while controlling the amount of stored memory to zero is a very advanced skill for most players. Therefore, immediately after the start of the special state after reaching the specific number of times, there is almost always some retained memory related to the first identification information, and this is the starting condition for the variable display of the second identification information in the special state after reaching the specific number of times. The variable display of the first identification information is often executed about once or twice before this is established. When the notification effect is executed in conjunction with the execution of the variable display of the first identification information, which originally does not want to be started, and the control is further controlled to an advantageous state, the time is shortened after reaching a specific number of times. There is a risk that players who have continued playing the game until reaching a specific number of times may be excessively discouraged.
In the gaming machine of form 4-1, in the special state after reaching a certain number of times, the notification effect is executed on the condition that the second identification information is started for the first time, so the variable display of the second identification information for the first time is executed. Even when a variable display of the first identification information is performed before the first identification information is displayed, the control is performed to an advantageous state based on the variable display without making the user feel that the control is being controlled to shorten the time after reaching a certain number of times. Don't let them get too discouraged even if they do.

The gaming machine of Form 4-2 is the gaming machine described in Form 4-1,
When the variable display of the specific number of times is executed, changing the background image corresponding to the non-special state to the background image corresponding to the special state after reaching the specific number of times,
It is characterized by
According to these characteristics,
It is possible to make the player recognize that the specific number of times has elapsed, and also to make the player aware that the second identification information is variably displayed.
As described in Embodiment 4-1 above, even if the gaming machine of this embodiment is controlled to a special state after reaching a specific number of times, the notification effect is not performed unless the second identification information is variably displayed in view of the above-mentioned issues. do not execute. Therefore, it is conceivable that the player may not be able to accurately grasp the current state. Therefore, when the number of executions of the variable display reaches a specific number as in Form 4-2, the background image is switched and displayed to one corresponding to the special state after reaching the specific number of times. However, the player can recognize that the special state has been entered after reaching a specific number of times.

The gaming machine of Form 4-3 is the gaming machine described in Form 4-1 or 4-2,
When the special state is controlled after reaching the specific number of times, it is possible to execute a special state remaining display indicating the number of variable displays that can be controlled to the special state after reaching the specific number of times,
The special status remaining display is executed in such a manner that it is updated and displayed every time the variable display of one identification information is executed,
When the special state is controlled after reaching the specific number of times, the remaining special state display is made more difficult to see than usual until the first variable display of the second identification information is executed.
It is characterized by
According to these characteristics,
When the special state remaining display is updated by the variable display of the first identification information before the first variable display of the second identification information is executed when the special state is controlled after reaching the specific number of times. Even if there is, the special state remaining display is difficult to see, so the sense of loss can be alleviated.
Compared to the variable display of the second identification information, if the special state remaining display is updated by the variable display of the first identification information with a lower advantage when the player is in an advantageous state, it may be a loss if viewed from the player's perspective. In order to make it feel like the special state remaining display has started updating with the variable display of the second identification information, it is made to appear as if the special state remaining display has started updating with the variable display of the second identification information by removing the difficult-to-see state. This can reduce the feeling of loss.

The gaming machine of Form 4-4 is the gaming machine described in Form 4-3,
Displaying a special instruction image superimposed on the special state remaining display for instructing that a starting condition for the variable display of the second identification information is established makes the special state remaining display difficult to see. ,
It is characterized by
According to these characteristics,
In order to make the special state remaining display difficult to see, we use an image with meaning, such as a special instruction image, rather than making it difficult to see with other effect images without meaning, so that the player pays close attention to the special instruction image. , it is possible to prevent the user from feeling uncomfortable about the state in which the special state remaining display is difficult to visually recognize.

The gaming machine of Form 4-5 is the gaming machine described in Form 4-3 or Form 4-4,
The notification effect can notify that the special state will be controlled after reaching the specific number of times by displaying a special state notification image that covers all the background images,
After the notification effect is executed and the special state notification image is erased, displaying the special state remaining display from a difficult to see state to a normal state;
It is characterized by
According to these characteristics,
It is possible to resolve the difficult-to-see special state residual display, which has been difficult to see, without making it noticeable or causing discomfort.
If the game is controlled to be in a special state after reaching a certain number of times, even before the notification effect is executed, the gaming state itself is already in the special state after reaching a certain number of times, so the special state remaining display is not displayed. Must. In this case, when the player sees the timing of switching the state from a state where the special state remaining display is difficult to see to returning to the normal state, the player feels uncomfortable with the special state remaining display that suddenly appears, but the notification effect By erasing the special state notification image and returning to the normal state, it is possible to eliminate the sense of discomfort in the performance.

The gaming machine of Form 4-6 is the gaming machine described in Forms 4-1 to 4-5,
The special state after reaching the specific number of times ends when the first number of variable display is executed,
After the specified number of times is reached, the special state is controlled, and the first number of times is less than the first number of times, and the variable display of the first identification information is performed a second number of times, which is at least one time, the second identification information is displayed for the first time. not performing the notification effect when variable display of information is performed;
It is characterized by
According to these characteristics,
This prevents the player from getting the impression that the special state after reaching a specific number of times is a short number of times.
For example, if the variable display of the second identification information is performed for the first time after the variable display of the first identification information is performed a second time (for example, 100 times, etc.), after reaching the specific number of times, the special state has already been consumed 100 times. state. Since the notification performance is not executed in such a situation, it is possible to prevent the player from being given the impression that the special state after reaching the specific number of times is 100 times less than the first number of times (for example, 1100 times).

(Characteristic part 1958SKY form)
(SKY2020-1958) The gaming machine of form 5-1 is
A gaming machine that variably displays first identification information or second identification information based on the establishment of a starting condition, and can be controlled to an advantageous state advantageous to a player,
control into a non-special state in which the starting condition of the first identification information is more likely to be met than the second identification information; and a special state in which the starting condition of the second identification information is more likely to be met than the first identification information. possible state control means;
variable display pattern determining means for determining a variable display pattern;
A performance execution means capable of performing the performance,
Equipped with
The special state includes a post-advantageous state special state that is controlled when the advantageous state controlled from the non-special state ends, and a special state that is controlled on the condition that variable display has been performed a predetermined number of times. and after special conditions,
The variable display pattern determining means is not controlled to the advantageous state when the variable display of the first identification information that is not controlled to the advantageous state is executed when the variable display pattern is controlled to the special state after reaching the specific number of times. A predetermined variable display pattern can be determined as the variable display pattern so that an average variable display time is longer than when the variable display of the second identification information is executed;
The performance execution means is
When the special state is controlled after reaching the specific number of times, it is possible to perform a notification effect that notifies that the special state is controlled after reaching the specific number of times,
When the special state is controlled after reaching the specific number of times, when the first variable display of the first identification information of the predetermined variable display pattern is executed as the first variable display, the notification effect is executed, and the first variable display is performed. When the variable display of the second identification information is executed, the notification effect is not executed;
It is characterized by
According to these characteristics,
Since the notification effect can be executed by the variable display of the first identification information executed for the first time without using a dedicated variable display pattern for executing the notification effect, the capacity can be reduced.
When performing a variable display toward reaching a specific number of times, in order to display the second identification information variably from the first time in a special state after reaching the specific number of times, the first identification information is displayed in the variable display of the specific number of times. Playing a game while controlling the amount of stored memory to zero is a very advanced skill for most players. Therefore, immediately after the start of the special state after reaching the specific number of times, there is almost always some retained memory related to the first identification information, and this is the starting condition for the variable display of the second identification information in the special state after reaching the specific number of times. It is common sense that the variable display of the first identification information is executed about once or twice before this is established. Therefore, in such a situation, by executing the notification effect when variable display of the first identification information is performed according to a predetermined variable display pattern, the information is stored before being controlled to the special state after reaching the specific number of times. Since the notification effect is executed by the variable display of the first identification information that was previously used, the first variable display in the special state after reaching a certain number of times can be properly executed, and the notification effect can be executed, and a variable display pattern exclusively for the notification effect is prepared. It is also possible to reduce the capacity by that amount.

It is characterized by
According to these characteristics,
In order to determine a predetermined variable display pattern when variable display of the first identification information is performed in which the display result is "off" in the special state after reaching the specific number of times, the first identification information is displayed during the special state control after reaching the specific number of times. As long as the pending memory related to the variable display remains, the notification effect can be reliably executed, and if the pending memory related to the second identification information becomes zero while the special state is being controlled after reaching a certain number of times. In addition, while the first identification information is being variably displayed according to the predetermined variable display pattern, it is possible to store the suspended memory related to the variably displaying of the second identification information.

It is characterized by
According to these characteristics,
The gaming machine performs the initial variable display in the special state after reaching the specific number of times using the first identification information, in other words, discards the opportunity to perform the variable display using the second identification information at least the first time. I am assuming that. In such a situation, if the background image is suddenly switched at least at the beginning of the first variable display of the special state after reaching the specific number of times, the player may feel that the above-mentioned opportunity has been wasted. Therefore, in the first variable display, a background image corresponding to the non-special state is displayed to make it appear as if the player is still in the non-special state, so as not to give the player the feeling that the above-mentioned opportunity was wasted. can do.

In the spec display, text information indicating performance changes its position and is displayed while moving. As a display method, it may be displayed in a fixed manner without moving. FIG. 14-3(A) is a specification display showing multiple performances. It consists of the information "1/319" which indicates the jackpot probability in the normal state of this gaming machine, and the information "continuation rate approximately 75%" which indicates the rate at which the variable probability state continues. Although FIG. 14-3(A) is a spec display used in this gaming machine, spec displays such as those shown in FIGS. 14-3(B) to (D) may also be used. Figure 14-3 (B) is information showing probability bands. For example, if the machine has a jackpot probability in the normal state exceeding 1/300, the information "high middle" is used to determine the jackpot probability in the normal state. If the machine has a jackpot probability of between 1/200 and 1/300, the information is called "middle", and if the machine has a jackpot probability of between 1/100 and 1/200 under normal conditions, it is called "light middle". You can use this information. 14-3(C) and (D) are cases in which the information used in FIG. 14-3(A) is used alone. Further, although not shown, a specification display indicating that play time is installed may be provided. By separately displaying the play time installation display and the spec display indicating the play time installation, it is possible to emphasize that play time is installed from both displays. Further, although not shown in the drawings, a spec display may be provided that reminds the player of the number of balls that are rolled out in each jackpot round. For example, by displaying information about the number of balls expected to be won in the maximum number of rounds, such as "1500 installed", it is possible to give the player an image of the number of balls that will be rolled out when they hit the jackpot. FIG. 14-3(E) is a diagram for explaining the movement of character information on the spec display. In Figure 14-3 (E1), multiple pieces of information such as "1/319" and "Continuation rate approximately 75%" are visible, and then as shown in Figure 14-3 (E2), "1/319" and "Continuation rate approximately 75%" are visible. /319'' is visible and the ``continuation rate of approximately 75%'' is difficult to visually recognize.After that, as shown in Figure 14-3 (E3), the ``continuation rate of approximately 75%'' is visible and `` 1/319" becomes difficult to visually recognize. In this way, when indicating a plurality of performances, the character information of the specification display is displayed while changing between a state in which the plurality of performances are visible and a state in which only each performance is visible. The specification display of this gaming machine attracts the attention of players by changing the position of the character information and displaying it while moving. This is a display to inform the player of the performance before playing the game.

With this configuration, the player can recognize the play time information no matter which page he or she is looking at. FIG. 14-4 (2) shows a modification in which the play time loading display is displayed on the sub liquid crystal display device shown in 1962SKY028. With this configuration, the sub-liquid crystal display device can be used as an area exclusively for displaying play time, making it easier to recognize that play time is installed.

(About the transition of the customer waiting screen in normal state)
FIG. 14-5 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the customer waiting screen. As shown in FIGS. 14-5 (2) to (4), the customer waiting screen can be switched between a first mode, a second mode, and a third mode. The customer waiting screen (first aspect) is a screen that is displayed for 3 seconds after the fluctuation ends, and is a screen that maintains the same state as the state after the fluctuation has stopped. The customer waiting screen (second mode) is a screen that is displayed 3 seconds after the variation ends, and in addition to the display state of the customer waiting screen (first mode), the above-mentioned basic display is displayed. . The customer waiting screen (third aspect) is a screen that is displayed 33 seconds after the change ends (30 seconds after the customer waiting screen (second aspect) is displayed), and the customer waiting screen (first aspect) ) and the customer waiting screen (second mode) are screens where the display mode changes drastically and a demonstration display introducing the model, etc. is performed. The customer waiting screen (second aspect) provides guidance on volume and brightness adjustment and menu display to current players, and provides information on the specifications of the gaming machine and game play to new players. This screen has the purpose of providing time-based guidance, and the customer waiting screen (third aspect) is a screen whose purpose is to introduce the present gaming machine to new players.

(Explanation of the transition of the customer waiting screen in the normal state according to the flow of the game)
FIGS. 14-6 and 14-7 are diagrams for explaining the display timing of the customer waiting screen in the normal state along the flow of the game. In addition, in the following explanation, (A1) to (A10) and (B1) to (B10) are different only in the aspects of displaying the variable number of displays and displaying the remaining number of times until play time, but the flow is the same. Therefore, it will be explained as a parallel relationship. FIG. 14-6 is a diagram when the player continues to operate the ball hitting operation handle even after the variable display ends (that is, when the player is trying to continue playing the game). Figures 14-6 (A1) and (B1) show a state in which the player is not touching the touch ring indicated by 1962SKY024 provided on the ball-hitting operation handle (operation knob) 30 (a state in which the player is not operating the ball-striking operation handle). It is a diagram showing that the customer waiting screen (second mode) is displayed. FIGS. 14-6 (A2) and (B2) are diagrams showing that the player operates the ball-hitting operation handle (touching the touch ring), a starting winning occurs, and a variable display is performed. . The customer waiting screen (second mode) ends when the starting prize occurs and the variable display is performed. More specifically, the display such as the play time loading display and the spec display ends, and the variable display count display or the remaining count display until the play time is maintained. FIGS. 14-6 (A3) and (B3) are diagrams showing a state in which the variable display has ended and the player continues to operate the ball hitting operation handle (touching the touch ring). More specifically, the CPU 103 sends a design confirmation command to stop the variable display of decorative patterns, and then the CPU 103 sends a customer waiting demonstration display designation command. Figures 14-6 (A4) and (B4) are after 3 seconds have elapsed from the state in Figures 14-6 (A3) and (B3), and the player is operating the ball batting operation handle (touching the touch ring). ). Figures 14-6 (A4) and (B4) are after 3 seconds have elapsed from the state in Figures 14-6 (A3) and (B3), and the player is operating the ball batting operation handle (touching the touch ring). ). Figure 14-6 (A5) (B5) is after 30 seconds have elapsed from the state of Figure 14-6 (A4) (B4), and the player is operating the ball batting operation handle (touching the touch ring). ). Figures 14-6 (A2) to (A5) and (B2) to (B5) show the state in which the batting ball operation handle is being continuously operated, and the game ball is fired toward the starting hole, but the starting prize is not reached. This indicates that a so-called slump state has not occurred.
FIG. 14-7 is a diagram when the player ends the operation of the ball hitting operation handle after this variable display (that is, when the player attempts to end the game). FIGS. 14-7 (A6) and (B6) are diagrams showing that the variable display is in progress and the player has already finished operating the ball hitting operation handle. FIGS. 14-7 (A7) and (B7) are diagrams showing a state in which the variable display has ended and the player is not operating the ball hitting operation handle. More specifically, the CPU 103 sends a design confirmation command to stop the variable display of decorative patterns, and then the CPU 103 sends a customer waiting demonstration display designation command. Figures 14-7 (A8) and (B8) are diagrams showing the state after 3 seconds have elapsed from the state of Figures 14-7 (A7) and (B7), and when the player is not operating the ball batting operation handle. be. FIGS. 14-7 (A9) (B9) are diagrams showing a case where the ball-striking operation handle is operated by a new player before 30 seconds have elapsed since FIGS. 14-7 (A7) (B7). . Figure 14-7 (A10) (B10) shows that 30 seconds have passed since Figure 14-7 (A9) (B9), and the player continues to operate the ball batting operation handle (touching the touch ring). FIG. As shown in Figures 14-7 (A8) to (A10) and (B8) to (B10), even if the player operates the batting operation handle after the customer waiting screen (second mode) is displayed, the customer cannot The waiting screen (second aspect) is maintained. Furthermore, even after 30 seconds have elapsed, the screen does not switch to the customer waiting screen (third aspect), and the customer waiting screen (second aspect) is maintained.

(Comparison of Figures 14-6 and 14-7 (1))
The difference between FIGS. 14-6 (A4) (B4) and FIGS. 14-7 (A8) (B8) is whether or not the player is operating the ball-hitting operation handle, and the display state of the image display device is different. . In FIGS. 14-6 (A4) and (B4), the display state of the image display device continues to maintain the same display state (customer waiting screen (first mode)) as after the end of the change. In contrast, in FIGS. 14-7 (A8) and (B8), the display state of the image display device is the customer waiting screen (second mode). With this configuration, as shown in Fig. 14-6, for a player who is in a slump state, the screen is not switched to the customer waiting screen (second mode), as shown in Fig. 14-7. When a player ends a game and the next player starts playing, the screen is switched to the customer waiting screen (second mode) to avoid inconvenience to players who are in a slump ( In particular, by displaying the play time loading display, if it is assumed that the player will be replaced, the player will not be made to feel that the start winning has not occurred and the play time is far away. It is possible to suitably appeal to players who newly start playing the game that play time is included.

(Comparison of Figures 14-6 and 14-7 (2))
In each of Figures 14-6 (A3) to (A5), (B3) to (B5) and Figures 14-7 (A9), (A10), (B9) and (B10), the player operates the ball batting operation handle. Because of this, the screen cannot be switched to the customer waiting screen (third aspect) even after 30 seconds have passed. By configuring this way, players who are in a slump state will feel annoyed (in particular, the atmosphere of the screen will be completely changed by displaying a demo movie with no decorative symbols displayed on the screen where decorative symbols are displayed). It is possible to prevent the player from feeling dissatisfied by highlighting the fact that no starting winnings have occurred. In addition, as shown in Figure 14-7, once the customer waiting screen (second mode) is switched, even if the batting operation handle is operated, the customer waiting screen (second mode) can be maintained. It is possible to appeal to a player who newly starts playing the game that play time is provided until a starting prize occurs.

(About the display end timing and notice of play time loading display)
As shown in FIG. 14-6 (A2), the play time loading display is terminated due to the occurrence of a starting prize. Although not shown in Figure 14-6 (A2) etc., the preview is executed using the display position where the play time loading display was displayed (lower left display area of the image display device) during variable display. be done. The preview includes a preview in which a character is displayed and the hold is changed, and a conversation preview in which a character speaks a line and subtitles corresponding to the dialogue are displayed. Further, the lower left display area of the image display device is also an area for displaying pending status. Since these displays are performed during variable display, the play time display is designed not to be displayed during variable display so as not to interfere with these displays. In addition, during the variable display, a conversation preview that utters lines such as ``If you digest 900 fluctuations in normal conditions...'' and ``Play time is 1100 revolutions!'' is installed, and the play time display is displayed. You may also suggest an alternative to not doing so.

(About bad example of transition of customer waiting screen in normal state)
FIGS. 14-8 and 14-9 are diagrams for explaining bad examples of customer waiting screens. These figures are reference diagrams for comparison with the display timing of the customer waiting screen of the gaming machine described in FIGS. 14-6 and 14-7, and are a flow that is not included in the gaming machine. FIG. 14-8 is a reference diagram as a bad example of FIG. 14-6. Similar to the flow in Figure 14-6, the player continues to operate the ball batting operation handle, but the flow shown in Figures 14-8 (C3) to (C5) and (D3) to (D5) As shown, the screen has been switched to the customer waiting screen (second aspect) and the customer waiting screen (third aspect). By doing so, the player who is in a slump state will experience the above-mentioned troublesome feelings. FIG. 14-9 is a reference diagram as a bad example of FIG. 14-7. Similar to the flow shown in FIG. 14-7, when a player is replaced and the ball hitting operation handle is operated, the customer waiting screen (second mode) is switched to the customer waiting screen (first mode). By doing this, it is not possible to appeal to players who newly start playing the game that play time is included.

(About commands related to touch ring)
The CPU 103 sends commands regarding the touch ring in accordance with the contact state of the touch ring provided on the ball hitting operation handle in order to notify the production control CPU 120 of information as to whether the ball hitting operation handle is being operated. More specifically, when the touch ring is touched, a touch ring contact command is sent, and when the touch ring changes to a state where it is not touched (the touch ring changes from the state where it is touched to the state where it is not touched). ), send a touch ring non-contact command. These commands are sent only when the operating state changes.

(About the specific control in Figures 14-6 and 14-7 CPU 103 (gaming control means))
In the special symbol stop process shown in FIG. 6, a symbol confirmation designation command is transmitted when the variable display time has elapsed. After that, in the special symbol normal processing shown in FIG. 6, it is determined whether or not there is a pending memory, and if there is a pending memory, a variation pattern for the next variation is determined by a variation pattern setting process, and a variation pattern command is sent. . If there is no pending memory, a customer waiting demo display designation command is sent. At the timings shown in FIGS. 14-6 (A3) (B3) and FIGS. 14-7 (A7) (B7), a symbol confirmation designation command is transmitted, and then a customer waiting demonstration display designation command is transmitted.

(Regarding the specific controls in Figures 14-6 and 14-7: Performance control CPU 120 (performance control means) Customer waiting screen setting process)
FIG. 14-10 is a diagram for explaining the customer waiting screen setting process performed by the performance control CPU 120. The customer waiting screen setting process is executed when it is determined in the variable display start waiting process that there is no pending memory. First, it is determined whether the timer is not set (step 1962SKYS001), and if the timer is not set (Y in step 1962SKYS001), it is determined whether the 30 seconds completed flag is not set. A determination is made (step 1962SKYS002), and as a result of the determination, if the 30 seconds reached flag is not set (Y in step 1962SKYS002), it is determined whether the 3 seconds reached flag is not set (step 1962SKYS003). ), and as a result of the determination, if the 3 seconds reached flag is not set (Y in step 1962SKYS003), data for counting 3 seconds is set in the timer (step 1962SKYS004), and the process returns. If the 3 seconds reached flag is set (N at step 1962SKYS003), data for counting 30 seconds is set in the timer (step 1962SKYS005), and the process returns. Here, the data for counting 3 seconds is set in the timer (step 1962SKYS004) under the following circumstances: immediately after the fluctuation ends, after receiving the customer waiting command, or when the touch ring is turned on by determining the touch ring state as described below. In other words, the timer is reset when the ball hitting operation handle is operated by the player and the 3 second completion flag is not set. Furthermore, the situation in which the data for counting 30 seconds is set in the timer (step 1962SKYS005) is when the touch ring is determined to be on based on the determination of the touch ring state, that is, when the player operates the batting operation handle. , and the timer is reset when the 3 seconds reached flag is set. Returning to the explanation of the flow, if it is determined that the timer is set or the 30 seconds reached flag is set (N in step 1962SKYS001 or step 1962SKYS002), the timer subtraction process is performed (step 1962SKYS006). ). Note that even when the 30 seconds reached flag is set, timer subtraction processing is performed to perform common processing, but since the timer has already reached 0, it remains at 0. Next, it is determined whether the 3 seconds reached flag is not set (step 1962SKYS007). As a result of the determination, if it is determined that the 3 second completion flag is not set (Y in step 1962SKYS007), it is determined whether the touch ring state is off (step 1962SKYS008). If the touch ring state is off (Y in step 1962SKYS008), it is determined whether the timer is 0 (3 seconds have elapsed) (step 1962SKYS009). As a result of the determination, if the timer is 0 (Y in step 1962SKYS009), the display control unit is instructed to display the customer waiting screen (second mode), the 3 seconds reached flag is set, and the timer is set to 30 seconds. Count data is set (step 1962SKYS010, step 1962SKYS011, step 1962SKYS012), and the process returns. If it is determined that the 3 seconds reached flag is set (N in step 1962SKYS007), it is determined whether the touch ring state is off (step 1962SKYS013). If the touch ring state is off (Y in step 1962SKYS013), it is determined whether the timer is 0 (30 seconds have elapsed) (step 1962SKYS014). As a result of the determination, if the timer is 0 (Y in step 1962SKYS015), the display control unit is instructed to display the customer waiting screen (third mode), and the 30 seconds reached flag is set (step 1962SKYS016). Return. As a result of determining whether the touch ring state is off, if it is determined that the touch ring state is on (N at step 1962SKYS008 or step 1962SKYS013), the timer is reset (step 1962SKYS017).

(Customer waiting screen setting process after power on)
In step 1962SKYS010, the display control unit is instructed to display the customer waiting screen (second mode), and in step 1962SKYS015, the display control unit is instructed to display the customer waiting screen (third mode). The display means is configured to display a display corresponding to the above. Although the customer waiting screen setting process is executed by the performance control CPU 120, it may be executed by the display control section. In addition, the customer waiting screen setting process is performed by the CPU 103 after the power is turned on. If there is no pending memory, a customer waiting display demo designation command is sent, and the timing is when the production control CPU 120 receives the customer waiting display demo designation command. is executed. By executing the customer waiting screen setting process at the timing after the power is turned on, the customer waiting screen (second mode) or customer waiting screen (third mode) is displayed when the game parlor opens first thing in the morning. It can be a state. Note that in both cases, the backup data in the RAM 102 is normal when the power is turned on (a so-called hot start), and the backup data in the RAM 102 is abnormal and the system starts up in an initialized state (a so-called cold start). By executing the customer waiting screen setting process according to the flow described above, no matter which way you start up, the customer waiting screen (second mode) or the customer waiting screen (third mode) will be displayed first thing in the morning. We can celebrate the opening of the store.

(About the customer waiting screen in time saving state A)
FIG. 14-11 is a diagram for explaining the customer waiting screen (second aspect) in the time saving state A. FIG. 14-11 (1) is a display on this gaming machine. An adjustment display and a menu guide display are displayed as the same display as the customer waiting screen in the normal state (second mode), but unlike the customer waiting screen in the normal state (second mode), the spec display is not displayed. Also, instead of the play time loading display, a high base substitute display shown in 1962SKY005 is displayed. The reason why the customer waiting screen (second mode) in the time-saving state A of this gaming machine is configured in this way will be explained using FIG. 14-11 (2). Figure 14-11 (2) is a reference diagram as a bad example. FIG. 14-11 (2) displays the spec display and play time loading display that constitute the customer waiting screen (second mode) in the normal state. By displaying the specifications, there is a risk that the user may be misled into thinking that the continuation rate is about 75% even though the user is in the time-saving state A. Furthermore, since the spec display overlaps the display position (upper right display area of the image display device) where the remaining number of time savings is displayed, it becomes difficult to see the number of time savings. Furthermore, by displaying the play time loading display, there is a risk that the player may misunderstand that this state is a game aiming at play time, or that the player may misunderstand that this state is play time. In view of these, this gaming machine is designed not to display the spec display and the play time loading display.

(About the customer waiting screen in a variable state)
FIG. 14-12 is a diagram for explaining the customer waiting screen (second mode) in a variable probability state. FIG. 14-12 (1) is a display on this gaming machine. An adjustment display and a menu guide display are displayed as the same display as the customer waiting screen (second mode) in the normal state. Unlike the customer waiting screen in the normal state (second mode), specifications are not displayed. Also, instead of the play time loading display, a high base substitute display shown in 1962SKY005 is displayed. The reason why the customer waiting screen (second mode) of this gaming machine in the variable probability state is configured in this manner will be explained using FIG. 14-12 (2). Figure 14-12 (2) is a reference diagram as a bad example. FIG. 14-12 (2) displays the spec display and play time loading display that constitute the customer waiting screen (second mode) in the normal state. By displaying the spec display, there is a risk that the player may be misled into thinking that the jackpot probability is 1/319, even though the probability is variable. Furthermore, since the spec display overlaps the display position where the remaining number of probability variations is displayed, it becomes difficult to see the probability variation number. In addition, by displaying the play time display, there is a risk that users may be misled into thinking that the game is aimed at play time, or that this state is actually play time. . Furthermore, in the variable probability state, the specific number of times until the play time is not subtracted, so there is a risk that the specific number of times until the play time is subtracted, leading to the misunderstanding that the play time is approaching. In view of these, this gaming machine is designed not to display the spec display and the play time loading display.

(About the customer waiting screen in time saving state B (play time))
FIGS. 14-13 are diagrams for explaining the customer waiting screen (second aspect) in time saving state B (play time). FIG. 14-13 (1) is a display on this gaming machine. An adjustment display and a menu guide display are displayed as the same display as the customer waiting screen (second mode) in the normal state. Unlike the customer waiting screen in the normal state (second mode), specifications are not displayed. Also, instead of the play time loading display, a high base substitute display shown in 1962SKY005 is displayed. The reason why the customer waiting screen (second mode) in the time-saving state B of this gaming machine is configured in this manner will be explained using FIG. 14-13 (2). Figure 14-13 (2) is a reference diagram as a bad example. FIG. 14-13 (2) displays the spec display and play time loading display that constitute the customer waiting screen (second mode) in the normal state. By displaying the specifications, there is a risk that the user may be misled into thinking that the continuation rate is about 75%, even though the user is in time saving state B. Furthermore, since the spec display overlaps the display position where the remaining number of time savings is displayed, it becomes difficult to see the number of time savings. In addition, by displaying the playtime loading display, there is a risk that users may be misled into thinking that playtime may control the playtime again even though it has already been controlled by the playtime. After being controlled once during play time, it will not be controlled during play time unless a variable display is made a specific number of times via a jackpot.) In view of these, this gaming machine is designed not to display the spec display and the play time loading display.

(About alternative display for high base according to each condition)
In FIGS. 14-11 to 14-13, all of the high base substitute displays are the same, but high base substitute displays may be used depending on the state. More specifically, in time-saving state A shown in Figure 14-11, if you hit the jackpot here, you have a great chance of entering the pole/BATTLE RUSH! The content should introduce that the gameplay is controlled by the state. In the variable probability state shown in FIG. 14-12, the content indicates that the variable probability state has a high continuation rate, such as "This is a state with a continuation rate of about 75%!". In the time saving state B (play time) shown in Figure 14-13, the same as in the time saving state A, a display such as "If you hit the jackpot here, you have a great chance to enter the pole/BATTLE RUSH!" is displayed, and in the time saving state B. The content should introduce that the game is controlled in a variable state by winning the jackpot, or the game should be a time-saving state B (play time) game, such as "Play 1100 BATTLE RUSH is easy to digest!" The content should introduce the advantages of efficiency, especially fluctuation efficiency. In this way, by displaying the high base substitute according to the state, it is possible to provide the player with suitable information according to the state, and it is possible to improve the player's desire to play in each state.

(Regarding the display of the number of times remaining until play time in each state)
In FIGS. 14-11 to 14-13, the remaining number of times until play time is not displayed. In the time saving state A shown in FIG. 14-11, the specific number of times until the play time is updated by making changes. However, the number of times remaining until play time is not displayed. The reason for this is that the number of times (069SG201) that the time saving state A is controlled is displayed. The display of the number of times controlled by time saving state A is also displayed as "XX times remaining", so if you were to display the remaining number of times until play time, it would be confused with the number of times controlled by time saving state A. If the display of the remaining number of times until the play time is temporarily displayed as "900 times remaining", there is a possibility that the player may misunderstand if the time saving state A is controlled for 900 times. For these reasons, in the time saving state A shown in Figure 14-11, the specific number of times until play time is updated by the change, but the design is such that the display of the number of remaining times until play time is not displayed. ing. Also, in the variable probability state shown in Fig. 14-12 and the time saving state B (play time) shown in Fig. 14-13, unlike the time saving state A, the specific number of times until play time is not updated, but in the variable probability state. The design does not display the display of the number of times remaining until play time because there is a risk of confusion with the display of the number of times controlled or the display of the number of times controlled by time saving state B (play time) and the player may misunderstand it. ing.

(Explanation along the flow of the game regarding the transition of the customer waiting screen in time saving state A)
FIGS. 14-14 (C1) to 14-15 (C7) are diagrams for explaining the display timing of the customer waiting screen in time saving state A along the flow of the game. Basically, the flow is the same as that described in the normal state in FIGS. 14-6 and 14-7.

(About the demo video in time-saving state A, definite variable state, and time-saving state B (play time))
As explained in Figure 14-5, in the normal state, when this gaming machine is in the customer waiting screen (second mode), when 30 seconds have elapsed without touching the touch ring, the customer waiting screen is displayed. The display switches to the screen (third mode). Although not shown in FIGS. 14-14 to 14-17, when the customer waiting screen (second mode) is displayed in time-saving state A, variable probability state, and time-saving state B (play time), the touch ring When 30 seconds have elapsed without touching the screen, control is performed so that the customer waiting screen (second aspect) is maintained without switching to the customer waiting screen (third aspect). Time-saving state A, variable probability state, and time-saving state B (play time) are all high base states, and it is unlikely that players will change, so we do not display demo videos to encourage players to play with this gaming machine. Limited control is provided. More specifically, in the customer waiting screen setting process shown in FIG. Control that gives instructions (determines whether it is in a normal state before processing 1962SKYS015, and if it is in a normal state, processes 1962SKYS015), or sets a timer for 30 seconds if it is in a normal state. (control that determines whether it is in the normal state before processing 1962SKYS012, and if it is in the normal state, performs the processing of 1962SKYS012).

(About transition of demo video in normal state)
FIGS. 14-18 and 14-19 are diagrams for explaining the transition of the demo video (customer waiting screen (third aspect)) in the normal state. FIG. 14-18(A) is a diagram after the variable display ends, and after 3 seconds have elapsed, the customer waiting screen (second mode) is displayed as shown in FIG. 14-18(B). Thereafter, after 30 seconds have elapsed, the screen switches to the customer waiting screen (third aspect) and a demonstration video is displayed, as shown in FIG. 14-18(C). In addition, when switching from Figure 14-18 (B) to Figure 14-18 (C), the play time loading display, spec display, adjustment display, and menu guide display that were displayed on the customer waiting screen (second mode) etc. will no longer be displayed. Next, in Figures 14-18 (C) to (E), characters appearing in the game machine are introduced, and in Figures 14-18 (F) and (G), the story of the game machine is introduced. will be displayed. In this way, by introducing the characters and the story of the gaming machine, it is possible to have the players play the game while knowing the background of the gaming machine. Next, as shown in FIG. 14-18 (H), an explanation of the play time is displayed, and as shown in FIG. 14-19 (I), an effect introduction display is displayed. Details regarding FIGS. 14-18(H) and FIG. 14-19(I) will be described later. Next, as shown in FIG. 14-19 (J), a display encouraging the player to play is made by displaying characters appearing in the gaming machine and displaying the game promotion characters "Let's play." Next, as shown in FIG. 14-19 (K), the manufacturer's name is displayed, and as shown in FIG. 14-19 (L), a warning message is displayed to encourage prevention of addiction. Thereafter, a customer waiting screen (second mode) is displayed as shown in FIG. 14-19 (M). In this manner, when the player is not playing a game, a demonstration video is displayed to encourage the player to play the game machine. Now, paying attention to FIG. 14-18(C), the play time loading display that was displayed in FIG. 14-18(B) is no longer visible. This is because various displays are performed using the display position where the play time loading display was displayed during the demonstration videos shown in Figures 14-18(C) to 14-19(L). . In addition, instead of ending the display of the play time loading display, this gaming machine provides a corner in the demo video where the play time is explained. In addition, although Figure 14-18 (B) shows a variable number of display times, even if the remaining number of times until play time is displayed, it becomes invisible at the timing of Figure 14-18 (C). It becomes like this.

(Comparison of play time explanation and performance introduction in the demo video (1))
FIGS. 14-20 and 14-21 are diagrams for explaining the images in FIGS. 14-18(H) and FIG. 14-19(I) in more detail. FIGS. 14-20 (A1) to (A4) and FIGS. 14-21 (A5) to (A7) are diagrams for explaining the flow of explanation of play time in the demo video, and details will be described later. FIGS. 14-20 (B1) to (B4) are diagrams for explaining the flow of presentation introduction in the demo video. The performance introduction will introduce two performances one by one. It is preferable that these performances are performances with a high expectation of a jackpot (a jackpot of 50% or more when executed).

(Comparison of play time explanation and performance introduction in demo video (2) Comparison of displayed time)
The explanation of the play time shown in Figures 14-20 (A1) to (A4) and Figures 14-21 (A5) to (A7) is that each display is displayed for about 4 seconds, and the play time is displayed for about 28 seconds. It is executed across the board. On the other hand, in the presentation introductions shown in FIGS. 14-20 (B1) to (B4), each display is displayed for about 4 seconds and executed for about 16 seconds. In this way, in the demo video, the explanation of the play time is carried out over a longer period than the performance introduction, so that the player can be made aware of the play time through the demo video. Furthermore, each display is approximately 4 seconds long for the explanation of play time and the introduction of the production, but each display of the explanation of play time is approximately 5 seconds, and each display of the introduction of production is the same. It may be made longer than that. By doing this, the play time can be more appealing.

(Comparison of explanation of play time in demo video and production introduction (3) Explanation of play time in demo video)
In FIG. 14-20 (A1), an overview of the explanation regarding play time is displayed. In FIG. 14-20 (A2), as the first explanation, a sentence such as "high-speed fluctuation during play time" is highlighted. In FIG. 14-20 (A3), as the second explanation, a sentence such as "Activated at 900 times under normal conditions!?" is highlighted. In FIG. 14-20 (A4), as the third explanation, a sentence such as "Is the probability of winning the jackpot during play time variable?" is highlighted. In FIG. 14-21 (A5), a sentence such as "The number of play times is 1100!" is highlighted. In this way, in the explanation of the play time in the demo video, the features of the play time are highlighted one by one. In particular, by displaying the number of times controlled by play time, ``1100 times'', as a direct number, the number of times controlled by play time can be recognized through the demonstration video. In Figure 14-21 (A6), while using an image (1962SKY010a) that uses the background of Play Time, the words "Equipped with Play Time" are displayed superimposed on the background. ), the display using the background during play time is ended, and the text display "Includes play time" is displayed. In this way, by displaying the background during play time, it is possible to convey the image of play time to the player, and as the final display, the fact that play time is installed can be displayed using a full liquid crystal display. This allows you to further promote the inclusion of play time. In particular, the character display of "Equipped with play time" displayed in FIG. 14-21 (A7) is displayed with a higher degree of emphasis than the display with play time displayed on the customer waiting screen (second aspect). The character display "Equipped with play time" displayed in Figure 14-21 (A7) has larger text size than the display with play time, and more materials are attached for effect display than the display with play time. There is. Furthermore, although not shown in the figure, the text "Equipped with play time" displayed in FIG. 14-21 (A7) is displayed so that the text appears to move. The movement of the characters is such that each character jumps around. The movement of the characters may be different from jumping and swaying on the spot.

(About the display time of the play time display)
FIG. 14-22 is a diagram for explaining the display time of the play time loading display displayed on the customer waiting screen (second aspect). From when the customer waiting screen (second aspect) is displayed as shown in Figure 14-22 (B) until it switches to the customer waiting screen (third aspect) (demonstration video) as shown in Figure 14-22 (C). The time is 30 seconds. On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 14-20 and 14-21, the time for explaining the play time on the customer waiting screen (third aspect) (demonstration video) was 28 seconds. In this way, the play time display displayed on the customer waiting screen (second aspect) is displayed for a longer time than the explanation about play time displayed on the customer waiting screen (third aspect) (demo video). has been done. The reason for this design is that on the customer waiting screen (second aspect), there are various displays other than the play time display, so it takes a long time to recognize the various displays one by one. It is now displayed. On the other hand, the explanation about the play time displayed on the customer waiting screen (third aspect) (demo video) is a time that only explains the play time and does not explain other elements. The design is shorter than the time required to recognize the play time loading on the screen (second aspect).

(Display changes when touching the touch ring during the demo video)
FIGS. 14-23 are diagrams for explaining how the display changes when the player operates the ball-hitting operation handle (touches the touch ring) while the demo video is being displayed. By touching the touch ring while the demo video is being displayed as shown in Figure 14-23 (C), the display switches to the customer waiting screen (second mode) as shown in Figure 14-23 (D). It will be done. In this way, when a player shows his/her intention to play, the screen is switched to the customer waiting screen (second mode) where the remaining number of play times until the play time can be visually confirmed, so that the play time is displayed at the timing when the player starts playing. It is possible to recognize the remaining number of times.

(About the customer waiting screen after playing time is over)
FIG. 14-24 is a diagram for explaining the customer waiting screen after the play time is over. First, "after play time is over" will be explained. This gaming machine is once controlled by the play time, and when the controlled play time is exhausted, it is controlled to the normal state, and even if fluctuations are made 900 times in the normal state, the play time is controlled again. It will not be done. Here, "after the play time is over" means that the controlled play time has been used up and the control is back to the normal state. Figure 14-24 (1) is a diagram showing the customer waiting screen (second aspect) after the play time is over, and Figure 14-24 (2) is after the play time is over, and furthermore, there are 900 fluctuations in the normal state. This is a diagram showing the customer waiting screen (second mode) in a situation where the change is made (i.e., a situation where 900 fluctuations are performed, which is a condition for activation of play time if it is not after the play time is out). be. In this way, the customer waiting screen (second aspect) after the play time is over is designed so that the display of play time loading and the display of the remaining number of times until play time are not displayed. Figures 14-24 (3) and (4) show modified examples, in which only the pedestal part is displayed without displaying the numerical part of the remaining number of play times. In any of Figures 14-24 (1) to (4), in order to prevent the misunderstanding that the play time will be controlled again after the play time has passed, the display that suggests the play time is not displayed. Designed.

(About the transition of the demo video after the play time is over)
FIGS. 14-25 and 14-26 are diagrams for explaining the transition of the demo video after the play time is over. Demo videos in Figures 14-25 (C) to (G), Figures 14-26 (I) to (L), Figures 14-18 (C) to (G), and Figures 14-19 (I) to (L) ) is similar, so the explanation will be omitted. FIG. 14-25 (H) is a display in a demonstration video for explaining that the display result of failure (with time saving and failure) is controlled to a time saving state (also referred to as time saving state C), and the details will be described later. In this way, in the demonstration video after the play time is over, there is no display to explain the play time as shown in Figure 14-19 (H), but instead to explain that the control is in time saving state C. is displayed. In order to prevent the misunderstanding that by switching to a different time-saving state explanation, the game will be controlled by play time again after the play time has passed, the display is designed not to suggest play time.

(About the transition of the demo video after the play time (modified example))
FIG. 14-27 is a diagram for explaining the transition (modified example) of the demo video after the play time is over as explained in FIGS. 14-25 and 14-26. 14-27 (A1) to (A4) are the same flow as the flow in FIG. 14-5, and are transitions of the customer waiting screen in the normal state, not after the play time is over. FIGS. 14-27 (B1) and (B2) show the transition of the customer waiting screen after the play time is over in the modified example. In this modification, in particular, the customer waiting screen (third aspect) (demonstration video) is not displayed even after 30 seconds have elapsed on the customer waiting screen (second aspect) in Figure 14-27 (B2). , the customer waiting screen (second aspect) is maintained. By restricting the display of demo videos, the system is designed to prevent any display that suggests play time, in order to prevent the misunderstanding that the game will be controlled by play time again after the play time has passed. .

(About the explanation of the time saving state that is different from the play time in the demo video)
FIG. 14-28 is a diagram for explaining details of FIG. 14-25(H). Figures 14-28 (C1) to (C4) are diagrams for explaining the flow controlled by the time saving state C displayed in the demo video, and Figures 14-28 (C5) to (C7) are It is a figure for explaining the flow of explanation regarding the probability change state displayed in the demonstration video. The display in FIGS. 14-28 (C1) to (C4) is developed for 16 seconds, and the display in FIGS. 14-28 (C5) to (C7) is developed for 12 seconds. These two explanations are spread over a total of 28 seconds, which is the same amount of time as the play time explanations described in FIGS. 14-20 and 14-21. In addition, in the demo videos in Figures 14-28 (C1) to (C4), there is an image (1962SKY010b) for explaining the flow controlled by time saving state C, and a demo video in Figures 14-28 (C5) to (C7). In the video, an image (1962SKY010c) is used to explain the variable probability state, but both images are designed to be displayed diagonally. This is because the image (1962SKY010b) for explaining the flow controlled by the time-saving state C and the image (1962SKY010c) for explaining the variable probability state are the background image of the normal state (Fig. 14-28 (C1) (C2 )), the background image of the time-saving state C (Figure 14-28 (C3) (C4)), and the background image of the variable probability state (Figure 14-28 (C5) to (C7)) are used and are changing. This is to avoid any misunderstanding. Furthermore, the background images in the normal state (Fig. 14-28 (C1) (C2)), the background images in the time-saving state C (Fig. 14-28 (C3) (C4)), and the background images in the variable probability state (Fig. 14-28 ( C5) to (C7)) are designed not to display pending display or small symbols. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the player from misunderstanding that the demo video is a video of an actual game being played.

(Comparison of the display time of the explanation of play time in the demo video and the display time of the explanation of the time saving state different from play time)
As shown in Figures 14-20 and 14-21, the explanation of play time in the demo video lasts about 28 seconds, while as shown in Figure 14-28, the explanation of play time is The explanation of the time-saving state controlled from 1 is carried out for about 16 seconds, and the explanation of the variable probability state is carried out for about 12 seconds. In this way, the display time of the play time explanation is set to be longer than the display time of the time saving mode explanation, which is controlled from the off-display results. Alternatively, the display time of the play time explanation is set longer than the display time of the probability change state explanation. With this setting, play time can be suitably promoted. Furthermore, even if a demonstration video that includes an explanation of the play time, an explanation of the time saving state controlled from the deviation display result, and an explanation of the variable probability state is displayed as a demonstration video of the time until the play time is controlled. good. Even in a demo video that incorporates all of these, it is preferable that the explanation of the play time is explained over a longer display time than the explanation of the time saving state and the explanation of the probability change state, which are controlled based on the error display result.

(Flow of fluctuations in normal conditions (1))
FIGS. 14-29 to 14-35 are diagrams for explaining the flow of fluctuations in a normal state. FIG. 14-29 shows the fluctuation in a situation where there is 100 fluctuations left until the play time, and FIG. 14-30 is a diagram showing the fluctuation after the play time is over. FIGS. 14-29 and 14-30 are explanations when the same variation pattern is selected, but first, the differences between them will be explained. Figure 14-29 (A1) and Figure 14-30 (A2) are diagrams showing the customer waiting screen (second aspect), respectively, and Figure 14-29 (A1) shows the play time loading display and the play time display. While the remaining number of times until the time is displayed, FIG. 14-30 (A2) does not display the play time loading display and the remaining number of times until the play time. By configuring in this manner, it is possible to prevent the user from misunderstanding that the play time will be controlled again after the play time has already been controlled, as in the situation shown in FIG. 14-30. Also, while Figures 14-29 (B1) (C1) display the remaining number of play times even during fluctuations, Figures 14-30 (B2) (C2) display the remaining number of play times even during fluctuations. The number of times remaining until play time is not displayed. Similarly to the above, this configuration is designed to prevent users from misunderstanding that they will be controlled again during play time. Here, we return to the explanation of the flow of fluctuations. In Figures 14-29 and 14-30, fluctuation patterns such as SP reach B (battle SP) shown in Figure 11-5, PA2-3 and PB1-3 shown in Figure 13-2, and fluctuation patterns due to relief are selected. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the flow of fluctuations when

(Flow of fluctuations in normal conditions (2))
Regardless of which of the fluctuation patterns such as SP reach B (battle SP) shown in FIG. 11-5 mentioned above, PA2-3 and PB1-3 shown in FIG. 13-2, and the fluctuation pattern due to relief are selected, Until 31(N), fluctuations proceed in a common manner. The differences between FIG. 14-29 and FIG. 14-30 are as described above. Here, the flow of fluctuation will be explained along FIG. 14-29. In FIG. 14-29 (B1), variation is started, and in FIG. 14-29 (C1), the NEXT symbol (1962SKY007) is stopped as a special symbol indicating that variable display is to be performed again, and in FIG. 14-29 ( In D1), variable display is performed again. At this time, by performing the re-variable display, a re-variable display compatible display (1962SKY009) such as "x2" indicating that the second variation has been performed is displayed. Furthermore, in this variation, a timer-compatible display (1962SKY008) such as "Preparing" is displayed, indicating that a timer notice using a timer will be executed. In FIG. 14-29 (E1), the NEXT symbol is stopped as a special symbol indicating that a re-variable display is to be executed, and in FIG. 14-29 (F1), a re-variable display is performed. At this time, the re-variable display compatible display is switched to "x3". Furthermore, the timer-compatible display, which had been displayed as "Preparing" until a moment ago, changes to a display showing "15:00" and the number of seconds. In FIG. 14-29 (G1), the decorative pattern becomes a ready-to-reach mode, and at the same time, the timer corresponding display becomes "00:00". In FIG. 14-29 (H1), the timer corresponding display changes from "00:00" to "SP!". Here, if we pay attention to FIG. 14-29 (D1), the remaining number of play times until the play time that was displayed up to FIG. 14-29 (C1) is not displayed. The details of these will be described below, but this is to prevent the display of the number of times remaining until play time from being confused with the display of other numbers.

(Relationship between the display of the number of times remaining until play time and the display that supports re-variable display)
Here, the relationship between the display of the number of times remaining until the play time and the display corresponding to the re-variable display will be explained. In the variation explained this time, the display corresponding to the variable display is a display using numbers such as "x2" and "x3". Numbers are also used to display the number of times remaining until play time. Therefore, if both are displayed, there is a risk of confusion. Accordingly, this gaming machine ends the display of the remaining number of play times until the play time is displayed when displaying the re-variable display. In addition, the re-variable display compatible display is displayed in the position where the remaining number of play times until play time was displayed, making it easier for players to notice and drawing attention to how many times the re-variable display has been performed. You can concentrate on the fluctuations without worrying about the number of times left until play time.

(About the display method when ending the display of the number of times remaining until play time)
The above-mentioned methods for making the display of the number of times remaining until the play time invisible are two methods: simply ending the display of the number of times remaining until the play time, and a method that takes precedence over the background in which the display of the number of times remaining until the play time is displayed. One possible method is to display the background on which the re-variable display compatible display (that is, the background compatible with the re-variable display) is displayed on the layer that is displayed. When displaying a background on which a revariable display compatible display is displayed, it is preferable to make the switching of the background less noticeable by moving accessories or displaying an effect display.

(Relationship between the display of the number of times remaining until play time and the timer compatible display)
Here, the relationship between the display of the number of times remaining until play time and the timer correspondence display will be explained. A timer notice is a display that displays the number of seconds, updates the number of seconds, and displays a notice that will be executed later when the number of seconds reaches "00:00", or displays a display that indicates the level of expectation. This is a notice that it will happen. In the variation described this time, the timer-compatible display is a display using numbers, such as "15:00" and "00:00." Numbers are also used to display the number of times remaining until play time. Therefore, if both are displayed, there is a risk of confusion. Accordingly, this gaming machine ends the display of the remaining number of play times until the timer-compatible display is performed. In addition, the timer compatible display is displayed in the same position as the remaining number of play times, making it easier for players to notice, drawing attention to the number of seconds on the timer, and displaying the remaining number of times until play time. You can concentrate on the fluctuations without being conscious of it. In particular, by terminating the display of the remaining number of play times from the "preparing" display stage where the timer compatible display does not yet display numbers, it is possible to prevent confusion in advance. , it is possible to draw the player's attention to the number of seconds displayed.

(Regarding the trigger for ending the display of the number of times remaining until play time)
The trigger for ending the display of the number of times remaining until the play time is not limited to the execution of the re-variable display or the execution of a timer notice, but may be the execution of SP reach. During SP Reach, a large display area is used to secure the display area for the purpose of encouraging players to see if they will hit the jackpot, and to draw attention to whether or not they will hit the jackpot, so they are not aware of the remaining number of play times until the play time. This is for both reasons: to ensure that If the re-variable display or timer notice is not executed, as shown in Figure 14-29 (H1) to Figure 14-31 (I), at the timing of transition from the normal background to the background corresponding to SP reach B, until the play time What is necessary is to end the display of the remaining number of times. Note that both the re-variable display compatible display and the timer compatible display are displays that use numbers, and the background display of SP reach B shown in FIG. 14-31 (I) is a display that does not use numbers. In this way, there is the first case in which the display using numbers makes it difficult to see the number remaining until play time, and the first case in which the number remaining until play time is difficult to see because a display using numbers is displayed. There is a second case in which the remaining count display is difficult to see. In the first case and the second case, it is necessary to prevent confusion between numbers in the first case, so in the first case, an effect is added to the display of the remaining play time, and the display of the remaining play time is In the second case, the display is finished in a form that is difficult to see, and then a re-variable display compatible display or a timer compatible display is displayed.In the second case, the background is displayed without adding an effect like the first case. It is preferable that the display of the number of times remaining until play time is ended by switching. In addition, there may be cases where only the re-variable display compatible display is displayed, and there are cases where only the timer-compatible display is displayed, and when only the re-variable display compatible display is displayed, the background display corresponding to the re-variable display is switched. If you want to make the display of the number of times remaining until play time difficult to see and display only the timer compatible display, display the timer compatible display overlapping the number of times remaining until play time to display the number of times remaining until play time. It is preferable to make it difficult to see, and to make it difficult to see in a manner corresponding to each notice. In addition, as shown in Figure 14-29, when displaying both a re-variable display compatible display and a timer compatible display, the display of the remaining number of play times until play time may be difficult to see due to the switching of the background display corresponding to the re-variable display. (It is designed to be difficult to see in a manner that corresponds to a predetermined notice). In addition, for timer notices, after the timer reaches "00:00" and the display of the notice to be executed thereafter and the display suggesting the level of expectation are displayed, the display of the timer compatible display ends, so at that timing, A display indicating the number of times remaining until play time may be made visible. In that case, when the timer compatible display ends, an effect display will be displayed, and when the effect display is displayed, the remaining number of play times until play time will be displayed so that it is visible. You may also do so.

(Flow of fluctuations in normal conditions (3))
FIGS. 14-31 and 14-32 are diagrams illustrating SP reach B. The flow of the performance is as shown in the figure. After FIG. 14-31 (N), if the fluctuation pattern is a jackpot like PB1-3, then FIG. 14-32 (O) is executed. After FIG. 14-31 (N), FIG. 14-32 (R) is executed if the variation pattern is a failure like PA2-3 or the variation pattern is due to relief.

(Flow of fluctuations in normal state (4)) (PB1-3 fluctuation pattern (jackpot))
As shown in Figures 14-32 (P) and (Q), as a result of SP reach B, a jackpot is announced, and then Figures 14-33 (U) to (X), (Y) to (AA) Changes progress according to the flow. More specifically, as shown in Figure 14-32 (P), when the enemy character collapses, the friendly character's happy face closes up, and the words "Victory!" are displayed, the player wins the jackpot. Then, as shown in FIG. 14-32 (Q), a display (666) with all the decorative patterns is displayed on the background of FIG. 14-32 (P), so that 6 When all the symbols line up, you will be notified that you have hit the jackpot. Note that in the display of FIG. 14-32 (Q), the words "Victory!" are not displayed. This is to prevent the decorative pattern from becoming difficult to see due to the display of characters. Thereafter, as shown in FIGS. 14-33 (U) and (Y), if it is a probability variable jackpot, the decorative pattern changes, and if it is a normal jackpot, the decorative pattern is maintained without changing. More specifically, as shown in Figure 14-33 (U), if it is a variable jackpot, the background corresponding to SP reach B in Figure 14-32 (Q) will be changed from the background of the normal state (where the current fluctuation started). The background corresponding to the stage that was being displayed at the time) is switched to, and a smoke effect (1962SKY031) is displayed on top of that. After that, as shown in Figure 14-33 (V), the decorative designs are displayed in a manner in which the 1 designs are aligned, and then, as shown in Figures 14-33 (V), (W), and (X), the decorative designs stop. is displayed, moves to a jackpot state, and after the jackpot state ends, is controlled to a variable probability state. Also, as shown in Figure 14-33 (Y), if it is a normal jackpot, the background corresponding to SP reach B in Figure 14-32 (Q) will be changed to the normal state background (displayed when this fluctuation starts). The background changes to the background corresponding to the stage that was previously displayed), and the decorative patterns are displayed in a manner that the 6 patterns are aligned on the normal background. Thereafter, as shown in FIGS. 14-33 (Z) (AA), the decorative symbols are stopped and displayed, the state shifts to the jackpot state, and after the jackpot state ends, the time saving state A is controlled. Now, paying attention to Figures 14-33 (U) and (Y), in the normal background at this time, the display of the remaining number of play times until the play time shown in Figures 14-29 (A1) (B1) is not displayed. Designed. By configuring it in this way, if there were only a few times left until the play time, I wanted to make the jackpot hit after entering the play time (it is easier to enter the probability change state if you hit the jackpot after entering the play time, To prevent players from feeling disappointed, such as when there are many balls in the middle, which is advantageous for the player.

(Flow of fluctuations in normal conditions (5) (PA2-3 fluctuation pattern (deviation))
As shown in FIGS. 14-32 (R) and (S), as a result of SP reach B, a loss is reported, and thereafter, fluctuations proceed as shown in FIGS. 14-34 (AB) to (AD). More specifically, as shown in Figure 14-32 (R), if the enemy character does not fall down, the friendly character closes up with a troubled face, and the words "defeat..." are displayed, the game ends. After that, as shown in Fig. 14-32 (S), an indication that the decorative patterns are not aligned (676) is displayed on the background of Fig. 14-32 (R). This will notify you that you are out of line. Note that in the display of FIG. 14-32 (S), the words "defeat..." are not displayed. This is to prevent the decorative pattern from becoming difficult to see due to the display of characters. After that, in the normal state, as shown in Figure 14-34 (AB), the background corresponding to SP reach B in Figure 14-32 (S) is changed to the background of the normal state (displayed when the current fluctuation starts). (the background corresponding to the stage that was previously displayed) is then displayed, and then a display (676) in which the decorative patterns are not aligned is displayed. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 14-34 (AC), the decorative symbols are stopped and displayed, and then, as shown in FIG. 14-34 (AD), fluctuations corresponding to the next starting winning are started. In addition, in the normal state (after the play time has passed), as shown in Fig. 14-34 (AE), the background corresponding to SP reach B in Fig. 14-32 (S) is changed from the background of the normal state (this change is The screen changes to a background corresponding to the stage that was displayed when the game started, and then a display (676) in which the decorative patterns are not aligned is displayed. Thereafter, the decorative pattern is stopped and displayed as shown in FIG. 14-34 (AF), and then the next variation is started as shown in FIG. 14-34 (AG). Now, paying attention to Figure 14-34 (AB), in the normal background at this time, the design is to display the remaining number of play times until the play time shown in Figures 14-29 (A1) (B1). . Comparing with Figures 14-33 (U) and (Y), you can see the difference between a jackpot and a miss depending on whether or not the remaining number of play times is displayed. It is possible to indirectly make the player recognize whether it is a jackpot or a miss. Also, if we pay attention to FIG. 14-34 (AC), the decorative pattern stops, and in conjunction with that timing, the display of the remaining number of times until play time is updated from "100" to "99". With this configuration, it is possible to clearly indicate that the current change is a failure by both stopping the decorative pattern and displaying the remaining number of times until play time. In order to make such a design, it is necessary to display the remaining number of play times until the play time at the timing shown in FIG. 14-34 (AB). Also, Figures 14-34 (AE) to (AG) show the flow of fluctuations after the play time is over, and unlike Figures 14-34 (AB) to (AD), the number of remaining times until the play time is not displayed. . As mentioned above, this is designed to avoid the misunderstanding that the game will be controlled again during play time.

(About updating the display of the number of times remaining until play time and shifting the pending display)
As shown in Figure 14-34 (AC), at the timing when the display of the remaining number of play times is updated, the displayed pending display shifts (the pending display moves closer to the active display area, this time, the active (moving to the display area) is not performed. As shown in FIG. 14-34 (AD), the display of the number of times remaining until play time is updated, and then the pending display shifts to the active display area. With this configuration, the player will not miss the update of the display of the remaining number of play times due to paying attention to the shifting pending display.

(Flow of fluctuations in normal state (6) (Fluctuation pattern due to relief (jackpot))
As shown in FIGS. 14-32 (R) and (S), as a result of SP reach B, it is reported that the result is a loss, and thereafter, the fluctuation progresses in the flow shown in FIGS. 14-35 (AH) to (AK). The fluctuation pattern due to relief is a pattern that once shows a loss and then announces that it is a jackpot, so the flow up to Figure 14-35 (AH) is the same as the flow up to Figure 14-34 (AB). From FIG. 14-35 (AI) onwards, a display corresponding to the variation pattern due to relief is developed. Now, if we pay attention to Figure 14-35 (AH), by displaying the number of remaining times until play time, the background will be different from the normal background when hitting the jackpot, as shown in Figures 14-33 (U) and (Y). By making the flow similar to the fluctuation pattern of set and miss, it is designed to prevent it from being revealed that the fluctuation pattern is due to relief. Also, Figures 14-35 (AL) to (AO) show the flow of fluctuations after the play time is over, and differ from Figures 14-35 (AH) to (AK) in that there is no display of the number of remaining times until the play time. . Here, if we pay attention to Figure 14-35 (AH), since it is a fluctuation pattern due to relief in the normal state, similar to Figure 14-34 (AB), the normal background where the number of remaining times until play time is displayed is Is displayed. Also, if we pay attention to Figure 14-35 (AL), since it is a fluctuation pattern due to relief in the normal state (after the play time is over), the remaining number of times until the play time is displayed as in Figure 14-34 (AE). Normal background is not displayed. In this way, depending on whether the fluctuation pattern is due to relief in the normal state (fluctuation of relief that is not after the free time has passed) or the fluctuation pattern is due to relief in the normal state (after the free time has passed), it is possible to make it look like a loss. By varying the mode of the normal background that can be switched, especially the presence or absence of display of the remaining number of times until play time, it is possible to prevent it from becoming obvious that the pattern is a variation pattern due to relief.

(Variation example of flow of fluctuation in normal state (7) (PB1-3 fluctuation pattern (jackpot)))
Figure 14-36 is a modification of Figure 14-33, in which when a jackpot is hit and the background is switched to the normal background, the numerical part indicating the remaining number of times until the play time is not displayed, and the play time is changed to the normal background. This is an example in which the display of the pedestal part (1962SKY033) that constitutes the display of the remaining number of times up to is left. By doing this, the purpose is to prevent only the numerical part from being recognized, so the need to erase the display can be minimized, and the confirmation work during design can be reduced. can.

(Explanation regarding characteristic part 1957SKY)
Next, the pachinko gaming machine 1 having the feature section 1957SKY in this embodiment will be explained based on FIGS. 15-1 and 15-2. FIG. 15-1 shows the presentation mode during the variation before the specific number of times and during the variation of the specific number of times as an embodiment in the characteristic part 1957SKY, and the special state (time saving state) after reaching the specific number of times after the variation of the specific number of times. B. It is an explanatory view showing a specific example of the performance aspect of the rush performance when controlled to the second special state). FIG. 15-2 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a specific example of a case where an entry effect is executed in a different effect mode in a situation similar to that of FIG. 15-1, as a modification of the embodiment in the feature section 1957SKY. In this embodiment, illustrations and detailed explanations of the same configurations as those of the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the first embodiment will be omitted, and differences will be mainly explained.

As shown in Figure 15-1 (A), the gaming state is controlled to a low accuracy/low base state (normal state), and the special number of times is The display 069SG203 is displayed as "one more time" and the variation of the first special symbol is stopped in a state where three pending memories corresponding to the first special symbol remain. That is, this variation is the 900th variation, and the next variation will be controlled on a low-accuracy/high-accuracy basis (time-saving state B).

As shown in Figure 15-1 (B), the fluctuation corresponding to the first special symbol following the fluctuation shown in Figure 15-1 (A) starts, and the gaming state changes to low accuracy / high base (time saving state B ), and the special number of times display 069SG203 is displaying "0 times left". At this time, since the value of the relief time saving number counter has already become "0", the gaming state has already been controlled to the time saving state B, although "0 more times" is displayed. Although the first variation in time saving state B is being executed, the background corresponding to the normal state is displayed at the start of the variation, so by displaying "0 more times", it is possible to stay in the same background. This prevents the special number of times display 069SG203 from suddenly disappearing even though the special number of times display 069SG203 is displayed, which would cause a sense of discomfort in the performance. Although the right-handed player notification image 069SG400 is not shown in FIG. 15-1(B), the right-handed player notification image 069SG400 may be displayed at this point.

As shown in Figure 15-1(C), in the same variation as in Figure 15-1(B), the shutter image is moved from the top to the bottom of the display area immediately after the start of the variation (for example, 1 to 3 seconds after the start of the variation). It is displayed in such a manner that it closes toward the end, making fluctuations in the decorative pattern invisible. Next, immediately after the fluctuation of the decorative pattern becomes invisible due to the shutter image, a right-handed hitting notification image 069SG401, which is larger than the right-handed hitting notification image 069SG400, and the words "Right-handed hitting" are displayed in the center of the screen of the image display device 5. The fade-in display is superimposed on the shutter image.

FIG. 15-1(D) shows a state in which the fluctuations corresponding to the two stored first special symbols have been digested from the fluctuations in FIG. 15-1(C). At this time, the number of pending memories of the first special symbol and the second special symbol does not exist, indicating a state where fluctuation has completely stopped. Even when the above-mentioned changes corresponding to the holding memory of the first special symbol are made twice, the shutter image is continuously displayed, and furthermore, the entry to notify that the time saving state B is controlled. The production is not being executed at this point.

FIG. 15-1 (E) shows the game after the game ball enters the second starting hole as shown on the arrow after FIG. It appears that the special design is changing. Triggered by the start of the first variation of the second special symbol in the time saving state B, the shutter image is moved from the lower part to the upper part in an opening manner to perform a rush performance. Although not shown this time, the rush effect is executed in the same manner as in FIGS. 11-63 and 11-64.

In this embodiment, as in the first embodiment, the jackpot is controlled based on the variable display of the second special symbol, rather than the case where the jackpot is controlled based on the variable display of the first special symbol. The degree of advantage is higher in cases where the Therefore, even though I was given the opportunity to change the second special symbol, which would have been advantageous if it was controlled to time saving state B and controlled to become a jackpot, the first special symbol that had already been memorized during the normal state If the retained memory of changes and the change leads to a jackpot, the player will be psychologically discouraged. Furthermore, if the time saving state B is controlled, instead of being triggered by the change in the second special symbol for the first time, the entry effect will be triggered by the suspended memory of the first special symbol that was already stored during the normal state. If this is executed, the player will be given an unnecessary impression that after being controlled to the time-saving state B, the state is controlled to be a jackpot due to the fluctuation of the first special symbol. In the present embodiment, after being controlled to the time saving state B, the rush performance is executed with the start of the first variation of the second special symbol, so the game can be played without giving such an impression to the player. This can reduce psychological disappointment among people.

Next, a modification of this embodiment will be described using FIG. 15-2. The situation shown in FIG. 15-2 (A) is similar to the situation shown in FIG. 15-1 (A), in which the gaming state is controlled to a low probability/low base state (normal state), and the relief time reduction number counter is In response to the value being "0", the special number display 069SG203 displays "One more time", and when the number of reserved memories corresponding to the first special symbol is 3 remaining, the first special symbol is This is a situation where fluctuations have stopped.

As shown in Figure 15-2 (B), the first special symbol is variable from the state where the fluctuation has stopped shown in Figure 15-2 (A) until there is only one remaining memory corresponding to the first special symbol. This is the state in which the display is performed. Figure 15-2 (B) shows the first fluctuation (fluctuation of the first special symbol) of the low accuracy/high base (time saving state B), and the shutter image is displayed at the time the fluctuation starts. The background image corresponding to the time saving state B (the third background image 069SG330 showing a nighttime cityscape) is displayed without any trouble. By changing the background image in this way, the player can easily recognize that the gaming state has changed. Further, a right-handed hitting notification image 069SG400 and a right-handed hitting notification image 069SG401 are displayed. Although not shown, the right-handed hitting notification image 069SG401 gradually moves from the left end of the display area of the image display device 5 to the right so that its entire length is displayed, and further moves toward the right end. It is displayed in such a manner that it is eventually cut off from the right end and is no longer displayed. In addition, the right-handed hitting notification telop 1957SKY001 is displayed, and the text ``Please hit right'' is gradually moved from the left end of the display area to the right side so that the full length is displayed inside the obi. It is displayed in such a manner that it moves toward the right end portion and is finally cut off from the right end portion and is no longer displayed. Furthermore, the words "Please hit right" are displayed multiple times inside the band, and are displayed in a continuous loop until the right-handed hitting notification telop itself is finished. At this time, the right hit notification telop is displayed superimposed on a part of the remaining time saving display 069SG201, so that the remaining number of times in the time saving state B is more difficult to visually recognize than when it is not superimposed. In this way, by making the time saving remaining display difficult to see with the right hit notification telop, the remaining number of times in time saving state B will decrease depending on the fluctuation of the first special symbol, at least until the second special symbol starts changing. This can make it difficult to visually recognize the situation, and the sense of loss can be diminished. In addition, the right-handed hitting notification image is displayed so as to overlap a part of the right-handed hitting notification telop, and the right-pointing arrow partially hides the words "Please hit right", but the right-handed hitting notification image is displayed as " It is transparent to the extent that the text "Please hit right" can be seen, so that the text on the caption does not become completely invisible.

As shown in Figure 15-2 (C), it is in the same state of fluctuation as shown in Figure 15-2 (A), and the right-handed hit notification image 069SG401 has already been erased. Therefore, the right-handed notification telop continues to be displayed.

As shown in FIG. 15-2(D), it appears that the fluctuation shown in FIG. 15-2(C) has stopped, and the right-handed hitting notification telop continues to be displayed at this time as well.

As shown in FIG. 15-2 (E), the game ball enters the second starting hole and the first variation of the second special symbol in the special state B starts. A rush effect is performed using the change of the second special symbol as a trigger. Although not shown, the rush effect is executed in the same manner as in FIGS. 11-63 and 11-64. When the rush effect is finished, the background image returns to the one in which the decorative pattern is changing. At this time, the right-handed hitting notification image 069SG401 and the like that were displayed immediately after being controlled to the time-saving state B are not displayed again, so as not to make the player uncomfortable by instructing him to hit right excessively. . In addition, the right-hand hit notification telop that was displayed has already been erased, and the short time remaining display, which had been difficult to see, is now visible. In this way, the right-handed hitting notification telop continues to be displayed without being erased until the variable display of the second special symbol starts, instructing the player to continue hitting right, and ensure that the person is not disadvantaged

In this embodiment, after being controlled to the time saving state B, if the first special symbol is varied 100 times without executing the second special symbol variation, the second special symbol will be changed in the 101st and subsequent variations. Even if the symbols are changed, the rush performance is not executed. By doing this, when the rush effect is announced in a situation where 100 fluctuations have already been completed, it is possible to prevent a bad impression from being given that the time saving state B is shorter than expected. Note that in this embodiment, the rush effect is not executed after "100 times", but these may be any number of times.

(Explanation regarding characteristic part 1958SKY)
Next, the pachinko gaming machine 1 having the feature section 1958SKY in this embodiment will be described based on FIGS. 15-3 to 15-8. FIG. 15-3 and FIG. 15-4 are explanatory diagrams showing a fluctuation pattern determination table for the first special symbol and a fluctuation pattern determination table for the second special symbol used when the time saving state B is controlled. be. FIGS. 15-5 and 15-6 are explanatory diagrams showing a series of production modes in fluctuations before and after being controlled by the time-saving state B. FIG. 15-7 and FIG. 15-8 are explanatory diagrams showing the production mode when controlled to be a jackpot in the first variation (variation based on the first special symbol) in the time saving state B. In this embodiment, illustrations and detailed explanations of the same configurations as those of the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the first embodiment will be omitted, and differences will be mainly explained.

As shown in FIGS. 15-3 and 15-4, this embodiment is different from the first embodiment in terms of the fluctuation pattern determined when the time saving state B is controlled. The explanation is given below.

As shown in FIG. 15-3 (A), when the game state is controlled to time saving state B and a variation that results in the first special symbol being out of place is executed, regardless of the number of pending memories, " The fluctuation pattern of "Non-reach A" is determined at a rate of 100%. When the variation pattern of "non-reach A" is determined in the first variation in time saving state B, control is performed to execute the rush effect. The fluctuation time of this "non-reach A" fluctuation pattern is 1000 ms. The detailed production mode will be described later, but this variation time covers the beginning of the variation when the decorative symbols begin to fluctuate, the middle of the variation where the rush performance is executed, and the end of the variation where the decorative symbols finally stop varying. It is a variable time that allows you to show just the right amount.

As shown in FIG. 15-3 (B), when a variation that results in a jackpot of the first special symbol is executed when the gaming state is controlled to time saving state B, the variation of "SP non-via A" The pattern is determined at a rate of 100%. In other words, SP reach is not executed when the first special symbol changes when the time saving state B is controlled.

Figures 15-4 (A) to 15-4 (C) show various fluctuation pattern determinations that are determined when the second special symbol changes when the gaming state is controlled to time-saving state B. This is a table, and the determined variation pattern is as shown in the figure.

Next, the presentation mode in this embodiment will be explained using FIGS. 15-5 to 15-8.

As shown in FIG. 15-5 (A), the gaming state is controlled to a low probability/low base state (normal state), and the special number of times is The display 069SG203 displays "one more time" and the variation of the first special symbol is stopped in a state where three pending memories corresponding to the first special symbol remain. That is, this variation is the 900th variation, and the next variation will be controlled on a low-accuracy/high-accuracy basis (time-saving state B).

As shown in Figure 15-5 (B), the gaming state is controlled to low accuracy/high base (time saving state B), and fluctuations according to the "non-reach A" fluctuation pattern have started, and the special number of times display 069SG203 is "0 more times" is displayed. At this time, since the value of the relief time saving number counter has already become "0", the gaming state has already been controlled to the time saving state B, although "0 more times" is displayed. Although the first variation in time saving state B is being executed, the background corresponding to the normal state is displayed at the start of the variation, so by displaying "0 more times", it is possible to stay in the same background. This prevents the special number of times display 069SG203 from suddenly disappearing even though the special number of times display 069SG203 is displayed, which would cause a sense of discomfort in the presentation. In addition, in this embodiment, a situation is explained in which a variation corresponding to the first special symbol is performed as the first variation of the time saving state B. Comparing varying the first special symbol and varying the second special symbol, it is more advantageous to vary the second special symbol, so the second special symbol including the first variation in time saving state B. I would like to change the symbols, but in the first change in time saving state B, firing the game ball just so that the reserved memory of the first special symbol becomes zero requires firing technique and effort, so most players do not is often firing continuously. Immediately after being controlled to the time-saving state B, several first special symbols remain in the reserved memory, and it is more common that at least the first variation of the time-saving state B is performed by the first special symbol.

As shown in FIG. 15-5(C), the shutter image is displayed in a closed manner from the top to the bottom, and the display area of the background image corresponding to the normal state is narrowed and made invisible. The first variation due to the first special symbol in time-saving state B is a variation that has little meaning for the player other than that a rush effect is performed, but by doing this, it is possible to eliminate effects that the player is not interested in. The part of the game is difficult to see, and the shutter image allows the player to predict that an earlier entry performance will be executed, thereby making the player feel excited. In addition, in FIG. 15-5(C), the shutter image is shown as being closed without hiding the decorative pattern; however, the present invention is not limited to this, and may also cover the variable display of the decorative pattern along with the background image. You can also use it as

As shown in FIG. 15-5(D), after the background image is completely covered by the shutter image, the intrusion notification character image 1957SKY002 is displayed superimposed on the shutter image. The rush notification character image starts with nothing displayed on the shutter image, then gradually reveals its full length from the right edge of the screen, and the character, star illustration, and the words ``Play Time Activation'' move and cross toward the left edge of the screen. will be displayed. Although not shown, even after the intrusion notification character image reaches the left end of the screen and disappears, it is displayed in a loop so that it reappears from the right end of the screen.

Here, the shutter image will be explained. In this embodiment, the shutter image is used as an introductory part as part of the entry effect, but there are other effects that use the same material as the shutter image. For example, after a decorative pattern enters the reach state, the shutter image closes on the back side of the decorative pattern to hide the background image, and is used in the introductory part that develops to SP reach, or in the production state in the normal state. It is also used at transition boundaries. At this time, by changing the display mode of the shutter image from the normal mode, it may be used as a preview effect suggesting that the control will be in an advantageous state. Note that the speed at which the shutter image completely covers the background image and the sound effects are also the same when executing the rush effect and when executing other effects.

As in this embodiment, when using the shutter image as part of the rush performance when controlled to the time-saving state B, the shutter image is used as part of the preview performance by displaying a rush notification character image, etc. This makes it easy to understand that the content is not displayed, and while reducing costs by reusing materials, it also prevents people from mistaking it for a preview performance. Further, the speed at which the intrusion notification character image is moved is made different from the speed at which the shutter image is moved in the manner of closing it. Specifically, the moving speed of the intrusion notification character image is slowed down to make it stand out by making it different from the speed of the shutter image. Note that in this embodiment, the rush notification character image is displayed superimposed on the shutter image, but the character image is not limited to this, and may be, for example, the characters ``Play Time'' indicating the time saving state B, or the character ``Play''. It is also possible to display only the

As shown in Figures 15-5 (E) and 15-5 (F), after displaying the rush notification character image, the shutter image is moved to the top in an open manner, and a "BATTLE RUSH rush" is displayed as a rush effect. !!” characters are displayed. Although not shown this time, the rush effect is executed in the same manner as in FIGS. 11-63 and 11-64. In this manner, in the present embodiment, in the first variation in the time saving state B, the rush effect is executed using the variation of the first special symbol as a trigger. As mentioned above, immediately after the start of time saving state B, it is common for there to be some reserved memory corresponding to the first special symbol.By taking advantage of this situation, we can increase the number of reserved memories for the first special symbol. Regardless, the execution of the rush performance is realized by determining the fluctuation pattern of "non-reach A" and securing the execution time. In addition, if a variation according to the "non-reach A" variation pattern of the first special symbol is executed at a later timing than the first variation of time-saving state B, the variation pattern of the second special symbol of time-saving state B Since it has a longer fluctuation time compared to the "super shortened non-reach" that is most likely to be determined, the game ball can be placed in the second starting slot while the fluctuation of "non-reach A" is being performed. 2. It is also possible to have a role as a time for storing reserved memory of special symbols.

As shown in Figure 15-6 (G), while the "non-reach A" variation in the time saving state B is being executed, the game medium is entered into the second starting prize opening and the game medium corresponds to the second special symbol. The number of pending memories is displayed as 1. The rush performance has already ended, and the background image now corresponds to the time saving state B.

As shown in FIG. 15-6 (H), the fluctuation of "non-reach A" in the time saving state B is such that the fluctuation stops after the background image is switched after the execution of the rush effect.

As shown in FIG. 15-6 (I), as the second variation in the time saving state B, a "super shortened non-reach" variation is performed in the variation of the second special symbol that is a miss.

Here, as the first variation in the time saving state B, a case will be described in which variation is performed by the second special symbol. As shown in FIG. 15-4 (A) and FIG. 15-4 (B), most of the fluctuations due to the second special symbol in the time saving state B are determined to be "super shortened non-reach". This is to increase the digestion rate to the maximum as described in Embodiment 1 above. When such "super shortened non-reach" is performed in the first variable display in time saving state B, the rush effect in this embodiment is controlled not to be executed, and the rush notification character image is displayed after the shutter image is displayed. The shutter image is opened without being displayed, a background image corresponding to the time saving state B is displayed, and the decorative pattern is stopped. For such irregular patterns, variations are made in a manner consistent with the original purpose so as not to impede the purpose of increasing the digestion speed. Note that even if the variation pattern of "SP reach D (short battle SP)" is determined, control is similarly performed so that SP reach D is executed without executing the rush effect.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 15-7 and 15-8, an explanation will be given of the presentation mode when the first variation in the time saving state B is a variation of the first special symbol that is a hit.

As shown in Figure 15-7 (A), the gaming state is controlled to a low probability/low base state (normal state), and the special number of times is The display 069SG203 displays "one more time" and the variation of the first special symbol is stopped in a state where three pending memories corresponding to the first special symbol remain. That is, this variation is the 900th variation, and the next variation will be controlled on a low-accuracy/high-accuracy basis (time-saving state B).

As shown in Figure 15-7 (B), the gaming state is controlled to a low accuracy/high base (time saving state B), and fluctuations according to the fluctuation pattern of "SP non-reach A" have started, and "non-reach A The variation of the decorative pattern is executed in the same manner as the variation according to the variation pattern of ``.

As shown in Figure 15-7 (C) and Figure 15-7 (D), the shutter image is displayed in a manner that closes from the top to the bottom, and the display area of the background image corresponding to the normal state is narrowed and becomes invisible. shall be.

As shown in FIG. 15-7(E), the shutter image is displayed by moving from the closed state to the upper part in an open manner. At this time, the character image 1957SKY003 for notifying the first jackpot is made visible together with the background image corresponding to the time saving state B, instead of the characters "BATTLE RUSH Rushing!!" as in the execution of the rush effect. At this time, the output sound when the shutter image closes and the output sound when the shutter image opens are the same as those output in the rush effect, and the first jackpot notification character image is Until it is visually recognized, the player cannot know that the fluctuation will lead to a jackpot.

As shown in Figure 15-8 (E), when the shutter image is completely erased, the full length of the first jackpot notification character image and the word "FEVER" are displayed, and the word "Fever" is displayed. The character utters a line and announces that it will be a jackpot.

As shown in FIG. 15-8 (G), the movable body 32 falls immediately after the full length of the first jackpot notification character image and the word "FEVER" are displayed, and the entire display area of the image display device 5 is affected. The background image and the first jackpot notification character image are made invisible by covering them with images.

As shown in FIG. 15-8 (H) and FIG. 15-8 (I), when the movable body 32 moves to the origin position, a background image corresponding to the time saving state B and a decoration indicating the jackpot of 777 are displayed. The design will be made visible. Note that while the movable body 32 is gradually moving to the origin position, the effect image gradually becomes translucent and is finally erased in a fade-out manner. By gradually erasing and making the decorative patterns that have become jackpots visible, the player's spirits can be heightened. In this way, if the first special symbol fluctuation in time saving state B results in a jackpot, instead of executing SP reach to determine whether or not it will be a jackpot, it will be the same as the normal fluctuation. While changing the appearance, in the second half, the jackpot is announced using a quick and simple effect using the movement of the movable body. Since a jackpot based on the fluctuation of the first special symbol in time-saving state B is inherently disadvantageous than a jackpot based on the fluctuation of the second special symbol, it is in itself necessary for the player to perform the SP reach and spend a long time inciting it. This will only aggravate their anxiety and may make them uncomfortable. In this embodiment, since the jackpot is announced without going through SP reach, the performance mode is such that it does not cause such anxiety and does not make the player uncomfortable.

(Explanation regarding characteristic part 1959SKY)
Next, the pachinko gaming machine 1 having the feature section 1959SKY in this embodiment will be explained based on FIGS. 15-9 to 15-11. Figures 15-9 to 15-11 each show that in the 900th variable display in the normal state, a shutter image is displayed to suggest that control will be made to time saving state B in the next variation, and that the shutter It is an explanatory diagram showing a situation when a demonstration display is performed after displaying an image, and a situation when a game ball passes through a gate after displaying a shutter image. In this embodiment, illustrations and detailed explanations of the same configurations as those of the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the first embodiment will be omitted, and differences will be mainly explained.

As shown in FIG. 15-9 (A), the gaming state is controlled to a low probability/low base state (normal state), and the special number of times is The display 069SG203 displays "one more time", and the first special symbol is being changed in a state where two reserved memory numbers corresponding to the first special symbol remain. At this time, the decorative pattern is such that "1" has already stopped on the left side, and "6" is about to stop on the right side.

As shown in FIG. 15-9(B), when the decorative pattern "6" stops on the right side, the shutter image starts to be displayed in a manner that closes from the top to the bottom. At this time, although the correspondence of the decorative pattern located in the center is still changing, the shutter image is displayed so that the decorative pattern and the background image including that pattern are no longer visible.

As shown in FIG. 15-9(C), the decorative pattern and the background image become completely invisible in the shutter image, and the fluctuation has stopped. In Figure 15-9 (C), the fluctuation has stopped, but in reality, the shutter image makes the decorative pattern and background image completely invisible before the fluctuation stops. , and the shutter image continues to fluctuate for a while while being displayed. In this way, in the present embodiment, by displaying the shutter image at the specific number of fluctuations that have not yet been controlled to the time saving state B, the player can enjoy the game before the timing when the actual gaming state changes. Executes a final fluctuation suggestion effect that makes state transitions easy to understand. Therefore, the player can recognize that the next change will be controlled to the time saving state B, and can play the game with the intention of starting to play right-handed. Incidentally, the variation pattern of the first special symbol at the specified number of times is not fixed but randomly determined (see FIG. 11-5). Therefore, even if a variation pattern with a short variation time such as "Reduced Non-Reach B" is determined, the execution of the production will be started at least among the decorative symbols so that the final variation suggestion production can be executed. The start timing is after the first decorative pattern stops. In Figure 15-9, the so-called do-lose fluctuation pattern of "non-reach B" is determined, and the shutter image is displayed after the first decorative pattern stops. When a variation pattern such as "non-reach" is determined, all the decorative patterns are temporarily stopped at once, so the shutter image is displayed at the timing when all the decorative patterns are temporarily stopped.

When displaying the shutter image in a manner that closes it from the top to the bottom, the display area of the background image corresponding to the normal state is narrowed and made invisible. As a player, he is more interested in the changes after the transition to time-saving state B than in the changes of the specific number of times, so the changes that are just the boundary between the game states are difficult to see midway through, and the shutter is The image allows the player to predict that the game will be controlled to the time-saving state B in the future, and is designed to excite the player.

Furthermore, after the decorative pattern and the background image become completely invisible due to the shutter image, the display of the special number of times that was displayed as "one more time" before becoming invisible is also erased. The final fluctuation suggestion performance in this embodiment is a way to seamlessly show the transition of gaming states, since after displaying the shutter image, the shutter image is opened when the next fluctuation starts, that is, when the time saving state B is controlled. This is done by Therefore, if the special number of times is displayed continuously, the intended presentation effect may be hindered. In this embodiment, the special number of times display is erased along with the display of the shutter image, so as not to interfere with the production effect.

As shown in FIG. 15-9(D), a new first special symbol corresponding to the new pending memory starts to fluctuate while the shutter image is continuously displayed. Since the gaming state is controlled to a low accuracy/low base state (time saving state B), by displaying the right hitting notification image, it is notified that the right hitting is possible (time saving state B). .

As shown in Figures 15-9(E) and 15-9(F), while the first variation of time saving state B is being executed, the shutter image is moved from the closed state to the upper open state. to erase. After that, the background image and decorative pattern corresponding to the time saving state B become visible and the fluctuations stop.

Figure 15-10 shows that in the specific number of fluctuations in which the final fluctuation suggestion performance is executed, there is no pending memory corresponding to the next fluctuation (that is, the first fluctuation in time saving state B), and a demonstration display is performed after the fluctuation stops. It is an explanatory diagram showing an example. 15-10(A) to FIG. 15-10(C) are different from the above-described FIG. 15-9 in that there is no pending memory, and otherwise show the same situation.

As shown in FIG. 15-10(D), the fluctuation of the specific number of times has stopped, and the gaming state is controlled to a low accuracy/high base state (time saving state B). After displaying the shutter image related to the final fluctuation suggestion effect, the fluctuation is stopped while the right-hand hit notification image is displayed. The presentation mode shown in FIG. 15-10 (D) is maintained as is until a predetermined period of time (for example, about 30,000 ms) has elapsed without starting a new variation and the demonstration display is executed. .

In addition, when a game ball wins in the starting prize opening before the demonstration display is performed, control is performed to open the shutter image and display the background image and decorative pattern corresponding to the time saving state B. In other words, the shutter image and the right-hand hit notification continue until the next start-up winning is performed. Therefore, even if the game is temporarily interrupted and the player is away from the game, it is possible to show other customers that the game is still in progress, rather than just being stopped at a loss.

As shown in FIG. 15-10(E), a predetermined period of time (for example, approximately 30,000 ms) has elapsed without any new fluctuations being started, and then the demonstration display is started. In this embodiment, when the demonstration display is being performed, the number of pending memories, small symbols, right hit notification images, etc. are erased, but information regarding the progress of these games is The display may be maintained even when a demonstration display is being performed. In that case, it is preferable to delete the large right-handed hitting notification image and maintain the display of the small right-handed hitting notification image so that the demonstration display can be visually recognized.

As shown in FIG. 15-10(F), after the demonstration display ends, the background image and decorative pattern corresponding to the time saving state B are displayed without displaying the shutter image again. By doing this, it is possible to prevent the viewer from feeling unnatural in terms of performance.

What is shown in FIG. 15-11 is an explanatory diagram of the effect mode when the game ball passes through the gate 41 after the shutter image is closed during the specific number of fluctuations in this embodiment. In this embodiment, when a game ball passes through the gate 41 while the game state is controlled to a low accuracy/low base state (normal state), an audio message saying "Please return to left-handed batting" is output. , a left-handed hitting notification image (display of the words "left-handed hitting" and a left-pointing arrow) is controlled to prevent the player from suffering any disadvantage. FIG. 15-11(C) shows the timing when the shutter image completely covers the background image during the specific number of fluctuations, but the gaming state is still in the low accuracy/low base state. If the game medium passes through the gate 41 at this time, in this embodiment, control is not performed to output the voice message "Please return to left-handed batting" and to display the left-handed batting notification image. If such control is performed, the player will not have to go through the trouble of adjusting the firing operation even though the game state (time-saving state B) in which right-handed firing is possible will be achieved shortly thereafter. I can do it.

(Explanation regarding characteristic part 1960SKY)
Next, the pachinko gaming machine 1 having the characteristic part 1960SKY in this embodiment will be explained based on FIGS. 15-12 and 15-13. FIG. 15-12 is an explanatory diagram showing the performance mode from the time when the fluctuation stops for the specific number of times until the demonstration display is performed. FIG. 15-12 is an explanatory diagram of the performance mode from the time when the specific number of fluctuations stops to the first fluctuation of the time saving state B and when the rush performance is performed. In this embodiment, illustrations and detailed explanations of the same configurations as those of the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the first embodiment will be omitted, and differences will be mainly explained.

As shown in FIG. 15-12(A), the fluctuation stops one time before reaching the specific number of times, and the special number of times display is displayed as "one more time". After this, as shown in FIG. 15-12(B), fluctuation of the reserved memory corresponding to the stored first special symbol is started. The fluctuation is a specific number of fluctuations, and after the fluctuation stops, the gaming state is controlled to the time saving state B.

As shown in Figure 15-12 (C), the specific number of fluctuations is an outlier in the combination of the normal mode left symbol 1957SKY004a "6", the normal mode middle symbol 1957SKY004b "5", and the normal mode right symbol 1957SKY004c "6". It has stopped due to the display results. At this time, the decorative pattern is not oscillating, but is in a completely stopped state.

As shown in FIG. 15-12(D), when the period in which the decorative symbols are fixed and stopped, the gaming state is controlled to the time saving state B. In addition, the normal mode left symbol 1957SKY004a, the normal mode medium symbol 1957SKY004b, and the normal mode right symbol 1957SKY004c change to 1957SKY005a, 1957SKY005b, and 1957SKY005c as special stop modes different from the display mode when it is fixedly stopped. This is a change that is made in the specific number of changes when there is no pending memory of the next change, and the symbol that has been fixed and stopped moves with animation, and the player is informed that it will be controlled to the time-saving state B from now on. This is an appeal aimed at. At this time, after the fixed stop period ends, the decorative pattern is changed to a special stop mode, so that the player does not misunderstand that it is a preview performance.

In this embodiment, the decorative pattern "656" is stopped and changed to a special stop mode, but "656" is not always fixed and stopped as a result of the deviation of the fluctuation of the specific number of times. A wrong display result may be formed depending on the combination of decorative symbols. Furthermore, although the decorative patterns "5" and "6" in this embodiment are composed of character images and numbers, among the plurality of decorative patterns there are also decorative patterns composed only of numbers. ing. Since the special stop mode is more appealing when combined with character movements, it is preferable that the decorative pattern determined as a result of a missed display is not a decorative pattern consisting entirely of numbers, and in this implementation. In the form, at least one of the combinations of decorative patterns resulting in a missed display is predetermined so that the decorative pattern composed of characters and numbers stops.

Further, in this embodiment, a so-called stop symbol preview performance is executed as a pre-read notice. This is performed by adding an effect image to a particular decorative pattern or outputting a stop sound when the specific decorative pattern stops. In this embodiment, when displaying a decorative pattern in a special stop mode, the accompanying effect sound is not output, and a preview effect is used to notify that the decorative pattern will stop in the special stop mode. This prevents people from misunderstanding that there is one.

As shown in Figures 15-12 (E) and 15-12 (F), if a predetermined period of time (for example, approximately 30,000 ms) has elapsed while the decorative pattern is being displayed in the special stop mode, a demonstration display is performed. When the demonstration display ends, the background image corresponding to the time saving state B and the decorative pattern which has returned from the special stop mode to the normal mode are displayed. Even after the demonstration display, if the decorative symbols are displayed in a special stop mode, the presentation itself becomes redundant, and it is thought that some players may find it annoying, so in this embodiment, is displayed as a normal decorative pattern.

What is shown in FIG. 15-13 is an effect mode when, with respect to FIG. 15-12, a pending memory corresponding to the first variable display of time saving state B is stored during the specific number of changes. Figure 15-13 (A) shows when the fluctuation stops one step before reaching the specific number of times, and Figure 15-13 (B) shows the time before the fluctuation starts the specific number of times. , a new pending memory is stored when the game ball enters the first starting hole. FIG. 15-13(C) shows the presentation mode when the fluctuation of the specific number of times has stopped, and is the same situation as 15-12(C) described above except for the presence or absence of pending memory. Similar to the situation described above, after the decorative pattern stops, it remains in a completely stopped state until the fixed stop period.

As shown in FIG. 15-13(D), after the fixed stop period ends, the first variation of the time-saving state B is executed based on the previously stored pending memory. After this, FIGS. 15-13 (E) to 5-13 (G) show the flow of the effect in which the rush effect is executed during the fluctuation. In this way, when the first variation in the time saving state B is executed soon after the specific number of variations, the decorative pattern is not displayed in the special stop mode. If the decorative symbols were displayed in a special stop mode during the specific number of fluctuations, the player would misunderstand it as a so-called stop symbol notice, and the subsequent variable display in time-saving state B would be off. Even in such cases, it creates unnecessary expectations. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the time saving state B is changed without changing to the special stop mode, so that misunderstandings do not occur.

(Explanation regarding characteristic part 1961SKY)
Next, the pachinko gaming machine 1 having the characteristic part 1961SKY in this embodiment will be explained based on FIGS. 15-14 to 15-16. What is shown in FIGS. 15-14 and 15-16 is the production mode when a game ball wins in either the first starting winning hole or the second starting winning hole after being controlled from the normal state to the time saving state B. FIG. What is shown in FIG. 15-15 is a case where a game ball newly enters the first starting prize opening after being controlled from the normal state to the time saving state B, and the fluctuation of the first special symbol becomes a jackpot. FIG. In this embodiment, illustrations and detailed explanations of the same configurations as those of the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the first embodiment will be omitted, and differences will be mainly explained.

As shown in FIG. 15-14 (A), the gaming state is controlled to a low accuracy/low base state (normal state), and the special number of times is The display 069SG203 displays "one more time" and the variation of the first special symbol is stopped in a state where three pending memories corresponding to the first special symbol remain. That is, this variation is the 900th variation, and the next variation will be controlled on a low-accuracy/high-accuracy basis (time-saving state B).

As shown in FIG. 15-14 (B), the gaming state is controlled to a low/high base (time saving state B), and the fluctuation corresponding to the pending memory stored during the specific number of fluctuations is It starts as the first fluctuation in time saving state B. In this variation, the shutter image is moved and displayed from the top to the bottom in a closing manner, and a transition is made to the background image corresponding to the time saving state B. In addition, although the fluctuating decorative pattern is displayed on the front side of the shutter image in this embodiment, the shutter image may be on the front side and may not be visible.

As shown in Figure 15-14 (C), the background image becomes completely invisible due to the shutter image, and then the shutter image is released and erased as shown in Figure 15-14 (D), corresponding to time saving state B. The fluctuations stop after the background image becomes visible.

As shown in Figure 15-14 (E), the game ball has not yet entered the second starting winning hole and the game ball is not yet entered in the reserved memory corresponding to the first special symbol that was stored when the gaming state was in the normal state. The underlying variation starts running. After this, as shown in FIG. 15-14(F), all the fluctuations based on the pending memory corresponding to the remaining first special symbol are consumed, and the fluctuations are stopped in a state where there is no pending memory.

As shown in FIG. 15-14 (G), in the time saving state B, a game ball is newly entered into the first starting winning hole and fluctuation has started. At this time, the words ``If you place a ball in the first starting slot during the time saving period, you may be at a disadvantage'' are displayed as an alert notice 1957SKY006 in the slightly lower center of the display area. In the gaming machine of this embodiment, the degree of advantage is higher when the jackpot is controlled by fluctuations in the second special symbol than by fluctuations in the first special symbol. Therefore, in an opportunity where the second special symbol can be varied as in the time saving state B, if the first special symbol is varied and the jackpot is controlled, the player may suffer a disadvantage. If a prize is won in the first starting prize opening after being controlled to the time saving state B, by issuing such an alert notification, the player will be able to move the game ball toward the second starting winning opening from the next time. This system encourages people to fire their weapons and prevents them from being disadvantaged. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, even if a change is made during the time saving state B, a caution is issued regarding the suspended memory corresponding to the first special symbol stored before the time saving state B is controlled. I'm trying not to make any announcements. As described above in the embodiment of the characteristic part 1958SKY, immediately after being controlled to the time saving state B, it is common that the reserved memory corresponding to the first special symbol remains. In this way, if a warning is given in connection with the suspended memory corresponding to the first special symbol that is unintentionally stored unlike an operation error, etc., the player will be made uncomfortable. In this embodiment, as described above, by not issuing an alert notification, it is possible to avoid making the player uncomfortable.

In this embodiment, the alert notification is made by displaying characters in the vicinity of the display area where the hold display is displayed, at the bottom of the display area, in a manner that does not hide the hold display. During the special state, it is easy for game balls to enter the second starting prize opening, and a pending display is likely to be displayed, making it easier to guide the player's line of sight to the pending display. By executing the alert notification in the vicinity of such a hold display, the player can clearly see the alert alert when the alert alert is issued. In addition, in this embodiment, an example is shown in which a message is displayed in text, but the mode of notification is not limited to this, and the mode of notification can be replaced, such as notification by outputting voice, alerting by displaying a character, etc. It is. Since neither of these is performed as a preview performance, the image size is made smaller than the size of the image when the preview performance is executed, and the volume is lower than the output of the sound related to the preview performance so that it is less noticeable than the preview performance. It is something.

FIG. 15-14 (H) is an explanatory diagram when the game ball enters the second starting winning hole after FIG. 15-14 (F). When the variation of the second special symbol is executed in the time saving state B, it is shown that the alert notification is not performed.

As shown in Figures 15-15(A) to 15-15(F), after being controlled to the time-saving state B, the fluctuations are performed until there is no pending memory, and then Figures 15-15(G) and 15-15- 15(H) shows the performance mode when a game ball enters the first starting winning hole and a fluctuation that results in a jackpot starts. In the present embodiment, it has been explained that an alert notification is given when the first special symbol is changed due to entering the first starting winning hole after being controlled to the time saving state B. If the fluctuation of the first special symbol due to winning in the first starting winning hole after being controlled to state B is a fluctuation that results in a jackpot, the alert notification is not executed. By doing this, it is possible to prevent the player from becoming aware that he will be at a disadvantage if the game is controlled to the jackpot state, and from losing interest in the game.

In FIGS. 15-16, while the alert notification is being executed during the time saving state B, a presentation mode is shown in the case where a new game ball enters the first starting winning hole. Focusing on FIG. 15-15 (G), fluctuations start as the game ball enters the first starting prize opening during the time saving state B, and a message is displayed as a warning alert. FIG. 15-15 (H) shows that the fluctuation that caused the alert notification has stopped. The alert notification is not erased with the passage of variable time, but continues to be displayed for a predetermined period of time (eg, 5 seconds, etc.). By doing this, even if a change is made due to a shortening change, it is possible to prevent the warning notification from being overlooked by ending the warning notification at the timing when the change ends. When this alert notification is being executed, a new game ball enters the first start winning hole and starts to fluctuate, as shown in FIG. 15-15 (I). As mentioned above, the alert notification is displayed continuously for a certain period of time, but if there is a new prize in the first starting prize slot during the displayed time, the display will be erased. Instead, a new display time is set and the display continues for an extended period. If a new prize is won in the first starting prize slot after 3 seconds have elapsed from the start of the display of the message in the alert notification, the display time will be reset to 5 seconds and the display will be displayed for a total of 8 seconds. That's what I do. By extending the alert notification and executing it without interruption in this manner, it is possible to make it more visible to the player and make the player notice the alert alert.

As mentioned above, we have explained the characteristic part 018SG, the characteristic part 069SG, the characteristic part 099SG, the characteristic part 1957SKY to the characteristic part 1961SKY, and the characteristic part 1962SKY. This gaming machine is a gaming machine that is equipped with all of these functions and is executed in a series of steps.

First, before a player plays a game, various configurations of the feature section 1962SKY are used for the customer waiting screen and demo video that are displayed, and changes are made a specific number of times, and the time saving state B (play time) is changed. Various configurations from feature section 1957SKY to feature section 1962SKY are used for the effect when entering, and for the variable time and preview selection table during time saving state B (play time), feature section 069SG and feature section 099SG are used. This gaming machine implements a series of flows in which various configurations are used, and various configurations of the feature section 018SG are used for the post performance when a jackpot is hit during time saving state B (play time). The purpose of this gaming machine is to improve the gaming machine equipped with the time-saving state B (play time) and to increase the marketability of the gaming machine equipped with the time-saving state B (play time). The items listed are related to the same issue.

Further, in the embodiment, a pachinko game machine 1 is illustrated as an example of a game machine, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a predetermined number of game balls is Rental balls that are recirculated inside and are lent out in response to a player's lending request and the number of prize balls given in response to winnings are added, while the number of game balls used in the game is subtracted. The present invention can also be applied to a so-called enclosed game machine in which the game information is stored. In these enclosed gaming machines, scores and points are awarded to the player instead of game balls, so these awarded scores and points correspond to the gaming value.

Furthermore, in the embodiment, a spherical game ball (pachinko ball) is used as an example of a game medium, but the invention is not limited to a spherical game medium, and for example, a non-spherical game medium such as a medal can be used. It may be.

In addition, in the embodiment, a pachinko game machine is applied as an example of a game machine, but a game can be started by setting a predetermined number of bets for one game using, for example, a game value. At the same time, one game ends when the fluctuating display results are derived to a fluctuating display device that can fluctuately display a plurality of types of symbols, each of which can be identified, and a prize is won according to the fluctuating display results derived to the fluctuating display device. It is also applicable to slot machines that are capable of generating.
