The second part effect is executed from the end of the first part effect until the effect result is displayed (for example, as shown in FIGS. 9-2(F) to (I), 1 out of 3 cards (a performance in which a number of cards are selected);
The above-mentioned suggestive performance is
A first predetermined effect (for example, as shown in FIGS. 9-1(A), 9-2(B), and (C), A performance that displays a treasure chest that is executed before the start of the part performance),
A second predetermined performance executed at a timing related to the start of the first part performance (for example, as shown in FIGS. 9-1(A), 9-2(D), and (E), the first part performance When the key is started, the key is displayed and the key is placed in the keyhole).
A third predetermined performance (for example, as shown in FIGS. 9-1(A) and 9-2(F) to (I), the second-part performance is performed at a timing related to the start of the second-part performance) (when the treasure chest opens and a character jumps out from inside),
The suggestive performance execution means is
The first predetermined performance can be executed when another preview performance is being executed at a timing before the specific preview performance (for example, as shown in FIG. 9-2(C), a dialogue preview is executed. during which the first predetermined performance is executed),
The third predetermined effect can be executed in a manner that suggests the specific preview effect to a higher degree than the first predetermined effect (for example, the first predetermined effect in which a treasure chest is displayed as shown in FIG. 9-2(B) Compared to the predetermined effects, the third predetermined effect, in which the character jumps out of the treasure box with a loud sound when the treasure chest opens, as shown in Figures 9-2 (F) to (I), is better than the specific preview effect. executing in a manner that makes it easier to recognize what is being executed),
The first predetermined effect can be executed in a common manner for any of the plurality of types of specific preview effects (for example, as shown in FIG. 9-6(B), Execute the first predetermined performance with a common treasure box shape regardless of the type),
The suggestive effect execution means can start executing the third predetermined effect at a timing that overlaps with the period in which the second predetermined effect is being executed (for example, as shown in a modified example, when the second predetermined effect is executed, The third predetermined effect may be executed at a timing that overlaps with the execution period),
The execution period of the second predetermined effect is the same regardless of the type of the specific preview effect, while the execution period of the third predetermined effect differs depending on the type of the specific preview effect (for example, as shown in FIG. 9-6). As shown in B), the execution period of the second predetermined effect is 3 seconds regardless of the type of specific notice effect, while the execution period of the third predetermined effect is 5 seconds, depending on the type of specific notice effect. (different from 15 seconds and 25 seconds).

According to such a configuration, by linking the second predetermined performance in the suggestive performance and the first part performance in the specific preview performance, it is possible to easily make the player recognize the target specific preview performance, and also to make the player recognize the target specific preview performance. As the performance progresses, the target of the preview becomes clearer and the effect of the suggestive performance can be enhanced.

(2) In the gaming machine of (1) above,
The execution period of the third predetermined effect is longer than the execution period of the second predetermined effect (for example, as shown in FIG. 9-6(B), 10 seconds of the execution period of the third predetermined effect is longer than the second predetermined effect). (longer than the execution period of the predetermined performance, which is 3 seconds).

According to such a configuration, the performance effect during the period in which the third predetermined performance is performed can be enhanced.

(3) In the gaming machine of (1) or (2) above,
The degree of expectation to be controlled to the advantageous state differs depending on the execution period of the suggestive effect (for example, as shown in FIG. 9-6(B), the first predetermined effect, the second predetermined effect, the second predetermined effect, (3) The total period of the predetermined performance is longer for a variation pattern with a higher degree of expectation).

According to such a configuration, it is possible to draw attention to the execution period of the suggestion effect, and it is possible to enhance the effect of the suggestion effect.

(4) In any of the gaming machines set forth in (1) to (3) above,

A first specific performance that can be executed at a predetermined timing (for example, a pseudo consecutive notice performance shown in FIGS. 8-9, 8-10, etc.);
A second specific performance that can be executed at a timing later than the predetermined timing (for example, a battle rising performance shown in FIGS. 8-11, 8-12, etc.);
A third specific performance that can be executed at a timing later than the predetermined timing (for example, a relief performance shown in FIGS. 8-13, etc.),
The plurality of types of predetermined performances are:
A first suggestive effect (for example, an up card effect shown in Figure 8-8(A), etc.);
A second suggestion performance (for example, a performance using a cancel card shown in FIG. 8-8(B), etc.) that has a higher degree of expectation to be controlled to the advantageous state than the first suggestion performance,
When the first suggestion performance (for example, a performance using an up card, etc.) is continuously executed until a predetermined timing, the first specific performance is performed in relation to the first suggestion performance (for example, a performance using an up card, etc.). (e.g., a pseudo consecutive preview effect, etc.), and when the first suggestion effect is continuously executed until a timing later than a predetermined timing, the first suggestion effect (for example, an up card effect) can be executed. The second specific performance (for example, the production of a battle build-up, etc.) can be performed in conjunction with the production (e.g., production of a battle rising) (for example, Fig. 8-8 (C), Fig. 8-10 (G4) to Fig. 8-10 ( L4), Figure 8-12 (B3) to Figure 8-12 (G3), Figure 8-15, Figure 8-16, Figure 8-17, Figure 8-18, Figure 8-23, etc.),
When the second suggestion performance (for example, a performance using a cancel card, etc.) is continuously executed until a predetermined timing, the first specific performance is performed in relation to the second suggestion performance (for example, a performance using a cancel card, etc.). (e.g., a pseudo consecutive notice effect, etc.), and when the second suggestion effect is continuously executed until a timing later than a predetermined timing, the second suggestion effect (for example, a cancellation card effect) can be executed. The third specific performance (e.g., relief performance, etc.) can be performed in conjunction with the performance (e.g., relief performance, etc.) (for example, FIG. 8-8 (C), FIG. 8-10 (G5) to FIG. 8-10 (L5)). , Figure 8-13 (B2) to Figure 8-13 (G2), Figure 8-14, Figure 8-16, Figure 8-17, Figure 8-18, Figure 8-23, etc.),
When the first suggestion performance (for example, performance using an up card, etc.) and the second suggestion performance (for example, performance using a cancel card, etc.) are executed at a predetermined timing, at least,
At a predetermined timing, the first specific effect (e.g., a pseudo continuous preview effect, etc.) is executed in conjunction with the first suggestion effect (e.g., an up card effect, etc.), and at a timing later than the predetermined timing, the first specific effect is executed. A first pattern (for example, a pseudo continuous performance, a battle performance pattern including a battle build-up) for executing the second specific performance (for example, a battle build-up performance, etc.) in conjunction with a second suggestive performance (for example, a performance using a cancel card, etc.) , when an up card is determined with a pseudo-continuous performance as a target, and a cancel card is determined with a battle upstart as a target (patterns such as those shown in Figures 8-15 and 8-17),
At a predetermined timing, the first specific effect (e.g., a pseudo continuous preview effect, etc.) is executed in conjunction with the first suggestion effect (e.g., an up card effect, etc.), and at a timing later than the predetermined timing, the first specific effect is executed. In a second pattern (for example, a battle performance pattern including a pseudo continuous performance, a relief performance, etc.) in which the third specific performance (for example, a rescue performance, etc.) is executed in connection with a second suggestive performance (for example, a performance using a cancel card, etc.), The specific performance can be executed in the case where an up card is determined with a pseudo-continuous performance as a target, and a cancel card is determined with a relief performance as a target (patterns such as those shown in FIGS. 8-14 and 8-17),
The timing at which the third specific performance (for example, rescue performance, etc.) is executed is after the timing at which the second specific performance (for example, battle build-up performance, etc.) is executed (Figure 8-18 etc).

According to such a configuration, it is possible to improve the interest in the game. In other words, in order to perform individual specific effects (first specific effect, second specific effect) and a common specific effect (third specific effect) for each of different types of suggestive images, the scene where the suggestive image can be displayed It is possible to increase the variation of performances without excessively limiting the performance, and to improve the interest in the game.

(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.

At a predetermined position on the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 1, on the right side of the gaming area), a variable display (also referred to as a special game) of special symbols (also referred to as special symbols) as multiple types of special identification information is provided. A first special symbol display device 4A and a second special symbol display device 4B are provided. Each of these consists of a 7-segment LED or the like. The special symbols are represented by numbers indicating "0" to "9" and lighting patterns such as "-". The special pattern may include a pattern in which all LEDs are turned off.

Note that "variable display" of special symbols means, for example, displaying 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. Note that the variation also includes a mode in which a certain symbol is displayed blinking. At the end of the variable display, a predetermined special symbol is stopped and displayed (also referred to as derivation or derivation display) as a display result (the same applies to the variable display of other symbols described later). Note that the variable display may be expressed as a 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". Note that there may be only one type of special symbol display device that performs variable display of special symbols.

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 (electroluminescence), 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.

For example, on the screen of the image display device 5, in synchronization with the first special pattern game and the second special pattern game, decorative patterns (such as patterns showing numbers, etc.) as multiple types of decorative identification information different from the special pattern are displayed. 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 variable display of the special figure game and the decorative pattern which are executed synchronously is 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 also collectively referred to as variable display compatible displays that correspond to variable displays.

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. Further, 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.

Furthermore, 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. Accordingly, the first pending memory number is displayed, and the second pending display 25B displays the second pending memory number according to the number of LEDs lit.

Below the image display device 5, a winning ball device 6A and a variable winning ball device 6B are provided.

The winning ball device 6A forms a first starting winning hole that is always kept open to allow game balls to enter, for example, by a predetermined ball receiving member. When the game ball enters the first starting prize opening, a predetermined number (for example, three) of prize 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. 2). The variable prize winning ball device 6B includes, for example, an electric tulip-shaped accessory having a pair of movable wing pieces, and when the solenoid 81 is in the OFF state, the movable wing pieces are in a vertical position, so that the tips of the movable wing pieces are comes close to the winning ball device 6A, and enters a closed state in which the game ball does not enter the second starting winning 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 wing pieces of the variable winning ball device 6B are 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 hole (second starting winning ball). It is also said that the prize opening will be 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, four locations on the left and right lower sides of the game area), general winning holes 10 are provided which are always kept in a constant open state by a predetermined ball receiving member. In this case, when entering any of the general winning holes 10, a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls are paid out as prize balls.

A special variable winning ball device 7 having a big winning hole is provided below the winning ball device 6A and the variable winning ball device 6B. 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. 2), 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 starting 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, on the left side 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.

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

A normal symbol holding display 25C is provided above the normal symbol display 20. The Futou Suspension Display 25C includes, for example, four LEDs, and displays the number of Futou Suspended Memory, which is the number of Futou games whose execution is suspended, by the number of lit LEDs.

In addition to the above structure, the surface of the game board 2 is provided with a windmill that changes the downward direction and speed of the game ball and a large number of obstacle nails. At the bottom of the gaming area, there is provided an out opening into which game balls that have not entered any of the winning openings are taken in.

Speakers 8L and 8R for reproducing and outputting sound effects, etc. are provided at the left and right upper positions of the gaming machine frame 3, and game effect lamps 9 for game effects are provided around the gaming area. ing. The game effect lamp 9 includes an LED.

A movable body 32 is provided at a predetermined position on the game board 2 (not shown in FIG. 1), which operates according to the performance.

At the lower right position of the gaming machine frame 3, a ball-hitting operation handle (operation knob) 30 is provided which is operated by a player or the like in order to fire a game ball toward a gaming area using a ball-launching device.

At a predetermined position of the gaming machine frame 3 below the gaming area, game balls paid out as prize balls and game balls lent out by a predetermined ball rental machine are held (stored) so that they can be supplied to the batted ball firing device. ) is provided with a batted ball supply tray (upper tray). A batted ball supply tray (lower tray) is provided below the upper tray from which prize balls are dispensed when the upper tray is full.

A stick controller 31A that can be held and tilted by a player is attached to a predetermined position of the gaming machine frame 3 below the gaming area. The stick controller 31A is provided with a trigger button that can be pressed down by the player. An operation on the stick controller 31A is detected by a controller sensor unit 35A (see FIG. 2).

At a predetermined position of the gaming machine frame 3 below the gaming area, a push button 31B is provided that allows the player to perform a predetermined instruction operation by pressing the button or the like. An operation on push button 31B is detected by push sensor 35B (see FIG. 2).

In the pachinko game machine 1, a stick controller 31A and a push button 31B are provided as detection means for detecting a player's movement (operation, etc.), but detection means other than these may be provided.

(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 regular symbol (ordinary symbol losing symbol) is stopped and displayed as a confirmed ordinary symbol, the display result of the ordinary symbol becomes "ordinary symbol losing". 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 prize opening (wins) during the period when the special drawing game is being executed or during the period when it is controlled in the jackpot game state or small winning game state (described later) (the starting prize has occurred) If the special pattern game based on the starting prize cannot be executed immediately), the execution of the special pattern 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 predetermined special symbol (a small winning symbol, for example "2") different from the above is stopped and displayed, it becomes a "small winning". Further, if a special symbol (a losing symbol, for example "-") different from the jackpot symbol or the small winning symbol is stopped and displayed, it becomes a "loser".

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. After the display result in the special figure game becomes a "small win", the game is controlled to a small win game state.

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.

In addition, the jackpot type is set in "Jackpot". For example, we prepare multiple types of opening modes for the jackpot (number of rounds and upper limit opening period) and gaming states after the jackpot gaming state (normal state, time-saving state, variable probability state, etc., described later), and the jackpot can be adjusted accordingly. Type is set. As the jackpot type, there may be provided a jackpot type in which a large number of prize balls can be obtained, and a jackpot type in which a small number of prize balls or hardly any prize balls can be obtained.

In the small winning game state, the big winning opening formed by the special variable winning ball device 7 is opened in a predetermined opening manner. For example, in the small winning gaming state, the opening mode is the same as the jackpot gaming state for some jackpot types (the number of openings of the big winning opening is the same as the number of rounds above, and the closing timing of the big winning opening is also the same). etc.), the big prize opening will be open. In addition, similar to the jackpot type, a small hit type may also be provided for "small hit".

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 met first, such as the execution of the special figure game a predetermined number of times and the start of the next jackpot game state. A condition where the termination condition is that the special figure game has been executed a predetermined number of times is also called number-cutting (number-cutting time reduction, number-cutting probability variable, 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", will be returned to the initial setting state of the pachinko game machine 1 (for example, when the system is reset, a predetermined return after 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-probability high-base state, the variable-probability state is a high-probability high-base state, and the normal state is called a low-probability low-base state. The high certainty state and low base state is also referred to as the high certainty low base state.

After the small hit game state ends, the game state is not changed, and the display result of the special figure game continues to be controlled to the previous game state when it became a "small win" (However, if a "small win" occurs) If the special figure game of the hour is the special figure game of the predetermined number of times in the above-mentioned number cut, the game state is naturally changed). It should be noted that the display result of the special figure game does not need to be a "small win".

Note that 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/or the game effect lamp 9 is performed. This may be done by turning on/off the light, moving the movable body 32, etc.

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 figure game becomes a "small win", on the screen of the image display device 5, as a display result of the variable display of decorative patterns, a fixed decorative pattern (for example, " 1 3 5" etc.) is derived (the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern becomes a "small hit"). As an example, decorative symbols constituting a chance are displayed in a stopped state on predetermined active lines in the "left", "middle", and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R. In addition, when the display result of the special figure game becomes a "jackpot" for some jackpot types (jackpot type in a jackpot game state in the same manner as the small win game state) and when it becomes a "small win". , a common determined decorative pattern may be derived and displayed.

If the display result of the special pattern game is a "lose", 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 the fixed decorative pattern of the non-reach combination (" ) may be stopped and displayed (the display result of the variable display of decorative symbols may be "non-reach loss"). In addition, if the display result is a "lose", after the variable display mode of the decorative design becomes the reach mode, a predetermined reach combination that is not a jackpot combination ("reach loss") is displayed as the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol. The fixed decorative pattern (also referred to as "decorative pattern") may be stopped and displayed (the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern may be "reach loss").

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-like 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, even during the small winning game state, a small winning performance for notifying the small winning gaming state is executed. In addition, the jackpot game during the small win game state and some jackpot types (jackpot type of the jackpot game state in the same manner as the small win game state, for example, the jackpot type that makes the subsequent gaming state a high probability state). By performing a common performance depending on the state, the player may not be able to tell whether the player is currently in a small win game state or a jackpot game state. In such a case, by executing a common performance after the end of the small win gaming state and after the end of the jackpot gaming state, it is possible to make it impossible to distinguish between a high probability state and a low probability state. You can.

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).

Controls (drives) the display 25A, second hold display 25B, regular hold display 25C, etc.
and an output port for transmitting the solenoid drive signal and 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.

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.

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 operation content). 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), and the like, 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.

(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. 3 is a flowchart showing the game control main processing executed by the CPU 103 in the main board 11.

In the game control main process shown in FIG. 3, 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 output signal from the clear switch is on (step S3). The clear switch is mounted on, for example, a power supply board. When the power is turned on with the clear switch on, an output signal (clear signal) is input to the game control microcomputer 100 via the input port. If the output signal from the clear switch is on (step S3; Yes), initialization processing (step S8) is executed. In the initialization process, the CPU 103 performs a RAM clear process to clear the flags, counters, and buffers stored in the RAM 102, and sets initial values in the work area.

Further, the CPU 103 transmits a production control command instructing initialization to the production control board 12 (step S9). When receiving the performance control command, the performance control CPU 120 displays a screen on the image display device 5, for example, to notify that the control of the gaming machine has been initialized.

If the output signal from the clear switch is not on (step S3; No), it is determined whether backup data is stored in the RAM 102 (backup RAM) (step S4). When the power supply to the pachinko game machine 1 is stopped due to an unexpected power outage or the like (power outage), the CPU 103 executes the power supply stop processing immediately before the pachinko game machine 1 becomes unable to operate due to the power supply stop. In this power supply stop processing, processing for turning on a backup flag indicating that data is to be backed up in the RAM 102, data protection processing for the RAM 102, and the like are executed. The data protection process includes adding error detection codes (checksum, parity bit, etc.) and backing up various data. The data to be backed up includes not only various data for proceeding with the game (including various flags, states of various timers, etc.), but also the states of the backup flags and error detection codes. In step S4, it is determined whether the backup flag is on. If the backup flag is off and no backup data is stored in the RAM 102 (step S4; No), initialization processing (step S8) is executed.

If the backup data is stored in the RAM 102 (step S4; Yes), the CPU 103 performs a data check on the backed up data (performed using an error detection code) and determines whether the data is normal (step S4). S5). In step S5, it is determined whether the data in the RAM 102 matches the data when the power supply was stopped, for example, using a parity bit or a checksum. If it is determined that these match, it is determined that the data in the RAM 102 is normal.

If it is determined that the data in the RAM 102 is not normal (step S5; No), the internal state cannot be returned to the state when the power supply was stopped, so initialization processing (step S8) is executed.

If it is determined that the data in the RAM 102 is normal (step S5; Yes), the CPU 103 performs a recovery process (step S6) to return the internal state of the main board 11 to the state at the time the power supply was stopped. In the recovery process, the CPU 103 sets a work area based on the storage contents of the RAM 102 (the contents of the backed up data). As a result, the gaming state is restored to the state at the time of power supply stoppage, and if the special symbols are fluctuating, the fluctuation of the special symbols will be restarted from the state before restoration by executing the game control timer interrupt process described later. That will happen.

Then, the CPU 103 transmits a production control command to the production control board 12 to instruct recovery from the power outage (step S7). In line with this, a performance control command that specifies the backed-up gaming state before the power outage, or a performance control command that specifies the display result of the special game that is currently being executed if the special game is being executed. A command may also be sent. These commands can be the same as the commands that are set to be sent in the special design process described later. When the performance control CPU 120 receives a performance control command that specifies the time of recovery from a power outage, it notifies the image display device 5, for example, that recovery from a power outage has been completed or that recovery from a power outage is in progress. Display the screen to do so. The performance control CPU 120 may perform appropriate screen display based on the performance control command.

After completing the restoration process or the initialization process and transmitting the production control command to the production control board 12, the CPU 103 executes a random number circuit setting process to initialize the random number circuit 104 (step S10). Then, the CTC register built in the gaming control microcomputer 100 is set so that a timer interrupt is periodically generated at a predetermined time interval (for example, 2 ms) (step S11), and the interrupt is permitted (step S12). ). 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.

When the CPU 103 that has executed the game control main process receives an interrupt request signal from the CTC and accepts the interrupt request, it executes the game control timer interrupt process 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 jackpot gaming state, small winning gaming state, control of gaming state, etc. (For details, see (described later).

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 the execution and suspension of the normal pattern game based on the detection signal from the gate switch 21 (based on the passage 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. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S25 shown in FIG. 4 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, a process of pre-reading and determining display results and fluctuation patterns may be performed based on the extracted random number values. After storing the pending information and the number of pending memories, transmission settings are made to send the production control command to the production control board 12 to specify the determination results such as the occurrence of a starting prize, the number of pending memories, and the pre-read judgment. . 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 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 value for determining the display result, it is determined whether the display result of the special symbol or decorative symbol is a "big hit" or "small win" and the type of jackpot when it is determined to be a "jackpot". is determined (pre-determined) before the display result is derived and displayed. Furthermore, in the special symbol normal processing, a confirmed special symbol (any of a jackpot symbol, a small prize 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 consumption). 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". In this fluctuation pattern setting process, based on the pre-determined result of whether the display result will be a "big hit" or "small hit", a random value for determining the fluctuation pattern is used to select one of multiple types of fluctuation patterns. It includes the process of determining the 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". On the other hand, when the jackpot flag is off and the display result is a "small hit", the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "8". Moreover, when the display result is "lost", the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "0". When the display result is a "small hit" or "loss", 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 a process of measuring the elapsed time from when 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 small hit opening preprocessing in step S118 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "8". This small win opening pre-processing includes processing for setting the large winning opening to be open in the small winning gaming state based on the display result being "small winning". At this time, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "9", and the small hit release preprocessing ends.

The small winning opening process in step S119 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "9". This small win opening process includes a process that measures the elapsed time since the big winning opening was opened, and a timing that returns the big winning opening from the open state to the closed state based on the measured elapsed time. This includes processing to determine whether or not the When the big winning opening is returned to the closed state and the timing for ending the small winning game state is reached, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "10" and the small winning opening process ends.

The small hit end process of step S120 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "10". This small win ending process includes a process of waiting until a waiting time corresponding to a period in which a performance operation to notify the end of the small win game state has elapsed. Here, when the small winning gaming state ends, the gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 before entering the small winning gaming state is continued. When the waiting time at the end of the small winning game state has elapsed, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "0", and the small winning ending process ends.

(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 source 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 the initial operation of the movable body 32, such as driving the movable body 32 to return it to the initial position and checking a predetermined operation.

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 performance control process processing, for example, the display operation of the performance image in the display area of the image display device 5, the audio 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. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S76 of FIG. 6 as the production control process process. In the performance control process shown in FIG. 7, 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 production control CPU 120 selects and executes one of the following processes of steps S170 to S177, depending on the value of the production 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 production 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 unit 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., a 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 or a small win game state. Then, when receiving a production control command that specifies the start of the jackpot game state or the small win game state, if the command specifies the start of the jackpot game state, the value of the production process flag is set to "6". ”. On the other hand, if the command specifies the start of a small win game state, the value of the performance process flag is updated to "4", which is a value corresponding to the small win performance process. In addition, if the waiting time for receiving the command elapses without receiving a command specifying the start of the jackpot game state or the small win game state, it is determined that the display result in the special drawing game is a "lose". Then, the value of the production process flag 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 small hit performance process in step S174 is a process that is executed when the value of the performance control process flag is "4". In this small win performance processing, the performance control CPU 120 sets, for example, a performance control pattern corresponding to the performance content in the small win game state, and executes various performance controls in the small win game state based on the setting content. . In addition, in the small hit production process, for example, in response to receiving a command from the main board 11 to specify ending the small win game state, the value of the production process flag is set to a value corresponding to the small win ending production. It is updated to a certain "5" and the small hit performance process is ended.

The small hit end production process in step S175 is a process that is executed when the value of the production control process flag is "5". In this small hit end performance process, the performance control CPU 120 sets a performance control pattern corresponding to the end of the small win game state, for example, and performs various performance controls at the end of the small win game state based on the setting contents. Execute. Thereafter, the value of the performance process flag is updated to the initial value "0", and the small hit end performance process is ended.

The jackpot performance process in step S176 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 control process flag is changed to a value corresponding to the ending production process. 7” and ends the jackpot performance process.

The ending effect processing in step S177 is a process that is executed when the value of the effect process flag is "7". In this ending production process, the production control CPU 120
sets a performance control pattern corresponding to, for example, the end of a jackpot game state, and executes various performance controls of an ending performance at the end of the jackpot game state based on the setting contents. Thereafter, the value of the production process flag is updated to the initial value "0", and the ending production process is ended.

(Explanation regarding characteristic part 011SH)
Next, a gaming machine related to the feature section 011SH will be explained. The gaming machine according to feature section 011SH is a gaming machine that can play games. In this embodiment, a pachinko game machine 1 that can play games will be explained as an example.

The pachinko game machine 1 according to the feature section 011SH includes a game control means and a performance execution means. The game control means is realized by, for example, the CPU 103 of the main board 11. The performance execution means is realized, for example, by the performance control CPU 120 of the performance control board 12.

FIG. 8-1 is a front view of the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the feature section 011SH of this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 8-1, the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the characteristic part 011SH has a general winning opening 10 arranged in the left gaming area of the gaming board 2, and a passing gate 41, in the right gaming area. A variable winning ball device 6B, a general winning hole 10, and a special variable winning ball device 7 are arranged. Furthermore, a winning ball device 6A is arranged below the image display device 5. Moreover, 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. In other words, the game balls flowing down the left gaming area can enter the first starting winning opening formed by the general winning opening 10 and the winning ball device 6A, and the gaming balls flowing down the right gaming area are variable winning balls. It is possible to win in the second starting winning hole formed by the device 6B, the general winning hole 10, and the big winning hole formed by the special variable winning ball device 7, and it is also possible to pass through the passage gate 41.

Further, the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the feature part 011SH includes a movable body 011SH32 as an accessory near the image display device 5, for example, as shown in FIG. 8-1. Note that the other configurations of the game board 2 of the pachinko game machine 1 related to the feature section 011SH are the same as the configuration of the game board 2 of the pachinko game machine 1 shown in FIG. 1, so illustration and description will be omitted. For example, in FIG. 8-1, the first hold display 25A and the like are omitted.

FIG. 8-2 is a diagram illustrating a variation pattern of the pachinko gaming machine 1 related to the characteristic part 011SH. FIG. 8-2(A) is an explanatory diagram showing types of fluctuation patterns (fluctuation time). In FIG. 8-2(A), the special figure variation time and the content of the variation pattern are shown according to the type of variation pattern.

FIG. 8-2(B) is an example of the determination ratio of the fluctuation pattern. According to the example shown in FIG. 8-2(B), the expectation level (reliability) of a jackpot is super reach (strong battle) > super reach (medium battle) > super reach (weak battle) > normal reach. The expected jackpot for a performance a is, for example, (probability that performance a will be executed when it becomes a jackpot) x (probability that performance a will be executed when it becomes a jackpot)/{(probability that performance a will be executed when it becomes a jackpot) × (Probability of hitting the jackpot) + (Probability of performance a being executed when there is no jackpot) × (Probability of not hitting the jackpot) "become).

For example, the reliability of super reach (weak battle) is (0.1 x 1/320)/{(0.1 x 1/320) + (0.008 x 319/320)} in the low base state. It is about 3.8%. Similarly calculated below, the reliability of super reach (weak battle) is approximately 7.3% in the high base state. The reliability of Super Reach (medium battle) is approximately 44% in low base conditions. The reliability of Super Reach (medium battle) is approximately 16% in high base conditions. The reliability of Super Reach (Strong Battle) is approximately 65% in a low base state. The reliability of Super Reach (Strong Battle) is approximately 48% in a high base state.

According to the example in Figure 8-2 (B), the reliability of Super Reach (weak battle), Super Reach (medium battle), and Super Reach (strong battle) is different between the low base state and the high base state. However, the reliability may be the same for the low base state and the high base state.

Furthermore, according to the example in FIG. 8-2 (B), variation pattern #11 is not determined during a low base, but variation pattern #11 may be determined even during a low base, for example, depending on the number of pending memories. You can also do this. Furthermore, according to the example in FIG. 8-2 (B), although fluctuation pattern #10 is not determined during a high base, for example, fluctuation pattern #10 may be determined even during a high base depending on the number of pending memories. You can also do this.

FIG. 8-3 is an example of the determination ratio of the pseudo-continuation notice performance (pseudo-continuation performance). In this embodiment, after determining the fluctuation pattern, the pseudo consecutive notice performance is determined based on the determined fluctuation pattern (pseudo continuous, pseudo consecutive (1 time, 2 times, 3 times)). (determined) In each variation pattern, the ratio of pseudo-continuity and pseudo-continuity (1 time, 2 times, 3 times) is determined by the numerical values shown in FIG. 8-3.

According to the example in Figure 8-3, when a pseudo-run is performed, the level of expectation for the player is higher than when it is not performed, and when the number of pseudo-runs is large than when it is small. Become. For example, in the case of 1 pseudo-repeat, normal reach or higher is confirmed, in the case of 2 pseudo-repeat, super reach (light battle) or higher is confirmed, and in the case of 3 pseudo-repeat, super reach (medium battle) is confirmed. The above is confirmed.

In addition, in the example of Figure 8-3, in the case of a small hit (variation pattern #16), the pseudo-continuity is determined at a rate of 100%, but the pseudo-continuity is determined also in the case of a small win. You can do it like this. Also, according to Figure 8-2 (A), the special symbol variation time for a small hit (variation pattern #16) is 15 seconds, but if pseudo-continuity is determined even in the case of a small hit. In this case, the special symbol fluctuation time of the small hit (variation pattern #16) may be lengthened (for example, if the small win is limited to at most one pseudo-run, the special symbol fluctuation time of the normal reach may be made to be the same, If two or more pseudo-runs are allowed, it may be the same as the special symbol fluctuation time of Super Reach).

The pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the feature section 011SH executes a battle performance (battle performance of weak battle, medium battle, or strong battle) in super reach (see FIG. 8-2(A)). In this embodiment, a plurality of types of battle performance performance patterns (battle performance performance patterns) are prepared. Each of the plurality of types of battle effects can be specified by a battle effect pattern.

FIGS. 8-4 and 8-5 are explanatory diagrams illustrating battle effects. FIG. 8-6 is an example of each scene of the battle performance. FIG. 8-7 is an explanatory diagram illustrating the determination ratio of battle effects. The "weak title" in the "content" column of FIGS. 8-4 and 8-5 is an effect that displays a title that suggests the start of a weak battle. For example, a weak title image 011SHJT as shown in FIG. 8-6(A) is displayed. The weak title image 011SHJT shown in Figure 8-6 (A) indicates that the opponent in the battle is character A (a strong enemy who appears as an opponent in a weak battle), and that the expected victory level is 1 star (battle This indicates that the expectation of victory is relatively low because the opponent is a strong opponent.

The "medium title" is an effect that displays a title that suggests the start of a medium battle. For example, a medium title image 011SHTT as shown in FIG. 8-6(B) is displayed. The medium title image 011SHTT shown in Figure 8-6(B) indicates that the opponent in the battle is character B (a medium enemy who appears as an opponent in a medium battle) and that the victory expectation level is 2 stars ( The opponent is a medium-sized enemy, so the expectation of victory is medium. The "strong title" is an effect that displays a title that suggests the start of a strong battle. For example, a strong title image 011SHKT as shown in FIG. 8-6(C) is displayed. The strong title image 011SHKT shown in Figure 8-6(C) indicates that the opponent in the battle is character C (a weak enemy that appears as an opponent in a strong battle), and that the expected victory level is 3 stars ( The expectation of victory is relatively high because the opponent is a weak enemy.

“Weak battle start” is a production that notifies the start of a weak battle. For example, a weak battle start image 011SHJBS as shown in FIG. 8-6(D) is displayed. The weak battle start image 011SHJBS shown in FIG. 8-6(D) indicates that a battle with character A (a strong enemy who appears as an opponent in a weak battle) will start. "Medium battle start" is an effect that notifies the start of a medium battle. For example, a medium battle start image 011SHTBS as shown in FIG. 8-6(E) is displayed. The medium battle start image 011SHTBS shown in FIG. 8-6(E) indicates that a battle with character B (a medium enemy who appears as an opponent in a medium battle) will start. “Start of strong battle” is a production that notifies the start of a strong battle. For example, a strong battle start image 011SHKBS as shown in FIG. 8-6(F) is displayed. The strong battle start image 011SHKBS shown in FIG. 8-6(F) indicates that a battle with character C (a weak enemy who appears as an opponent in a strong battle) will begin.

“Accessory object movement exists” is an effect that causes the movable body 011SH32 to move. For example, as shown in FIG. 8-6(G), the movable body 011SH32 is operated. "Battle (defeat)" is a performance that announces defeat as a battle result. For example, a LOSE image 011SHKH1 as shown in FIG. 8-6(H) is displayed. “Battle (win)” is a performance that announces victory as a battle result. For example, a WIN image 011SHKH2 as shown in FIG. 8-6(I) is displayed. “Rescue (win)” is a relief performance (sometimes simply referred to as “relief”) that is executed after defeat is announced as a battle result. For example, a relief effect as shown in FIG. 8-6(J) is executed.

FIG. 8-4(A) shows the content of the battle performance in the case of a super reach (weak battle) failure (that is, variation pattern #13). On the outskirts of the super reach (weak battle), the battle performance of the battle performance pattern "BP-J-L1" or the battle performance of the battle performance pattern "BP-J-L2" is executed. For example, as shown in Figure 8-7(A), the battle performance pattern "BP-J-L1" is determined at a rate of 20%, and the battle performance pattern "BP-J-L2" is determined at a rate of 80%. and execute the one you decide.

FIG. 8-4(B) shows the content of the battle performance in the super reach (weak battle) jackpot (that is, variation pattern #18). In the super reach (weak battle) jackpot, the battle performance of the battle performance pattern "BP-J-W1", the battle performance of the battle performance pattern "BP-J-W2", or the battle performance of the battle performance pattern "BP-J-W3" ” or the battle performance pattern “BP-J-W4”. For example, as shown in Figure 8-7(A), the battle performance pattern "BP-J-W1" is determined at a rate of 40%, and the battle performance pattern "BP-J-W2" is determined at a rate of 30%. Then, the battle performance pattern "BP-J-W3" is determined at a rate of 20%, the battle performance pattern "BP-J-W4" is determined at a rate of 10%, and either of the determined patterns is executed.

FIG. 8-4(C) shows the content of the battle effect in the case of super reach (medium battle) being out of reach (that is, variation pattern #14). At the edge of the super reach (medium battle), the battle performance of the battle performance pattern "BP-T-L1", the battle performance of the battle performance pattern "BP-T-L2", or the battle performance of the battle performance pattern "BP-T-L3" ” or the battle performance pattern “BP-T-L4”. For example, as shown in Figure 8-7(B), the battle performance pattern "BP-T-L1" is determined at a rate of 10%, and the battle performance pattern "BP-T-L2" is determined at a rate of 20%. Then, the battle effect pattern "BP-T-L3" is determined at a rate of 30%, the battle effect pattern "BP-T-L4" is determined at a rate of 40%, and either of the determined ones is executed.

Figure 8-4 (D) is a super reach (medium battle) jackpot (that is, fluctuation pattern #19)
This shows the content of the battle production. In the super reach (medium battle) jackpot, the battle performance of the battle performance pattern "BP-T-W1", the battle performance of the battle performance pattern "BP-T-W2", or the battle performance of the battle performance pattern "BP-T-W3" ”, or the battle performance pattern “BP-T-W4”, or the battle performance pattern “BP-T-W5”, or the battle performance pattern “BP-T-W6”. A battle performance, a battle performance of the battle performance pattern "BP-T-W7", or a battle performance of the battle performance pattern "BP-T-W8" is executed. For example, as shown in Figure 8-7(B), the battle performance pattern "BP-T-W1" is determined at a rate of 20%, and the battle performance pattern "BP-T-W2" is determined at a rate of 20%. Then, the battle performance pattern "BP-T-W3" is determined at a rate of 15%, the battle performance pattern "BP-T-W4" is determined at a rate of 15%, and the battle performance pattern "BP-T-W5" is determined at a rate of 15%. is determined at a rate of 10%, the battle performance pattern "BP-T-W6" is determined at a rate of 10%, the battle performance pattern "BP-T-W7" is determined at a rate of 5%, and the battle performance pattern "BP-T-W6" is determined at a rate of 5%. "BP-T-W8" is determined at a rate of 5%, and one of the determined values is executed.

FIG. 8-5(A) shows the content of the battle performance in the case of a super reach (strong battle) failure (that is, variation pattern #15). At the edge of super reach (strong battle), the battle performance pattern "BP-K-L1", or the battle performance pattern "BP-K-L2", or the battle performance pattern "BP-K-L3" ”, or the battle performance pattern “BP-K-L4”, or the battle performance pattern “BP-K-L5”, or the battle performance pattern “BP-K-L6”. Execute a battle performance. For example, as shown in Figure 8-7(C), the battle performance pattern "BP-K-L1" is determined at a rate of 5%, and the battle performance pattern "BP-K-L2" is determined at a rate of 10%. The battle performance pattern "BP-K-L3" is determined at a rate of 15%, the battle performance pattern "BP-K-L4" is determined at a rate of 15%, and the battle performance pattern "BP-K-L5" is determined at a rate of 15%. is determined at a rate of 25%, the battle performance pattern "BP-K-L6" is determined at a rate of 30%, and one of the determined patterns is executed.

FIG. 8-5(B) shows the content of the battle performance in the super reach (strong battle) jackpot (that is, variation pattern #20). In the super reach (strong battle) jackpot, the battle performance of the battle performance pattern "BP-K-W1", the battle performance of the battle performance pattern "BP-K-W2", or the battle performance of the battle performance pattern "BP-K-W3" ”, or the battle performance pattern “BP-K-W4”, or the battle performance pattern “BP-K-W5”, or the battle performance pattern “BP-K-W6”. Battle performance, or battle performance of battle performance pattern “BP-K-W7”, or battle performance of battle performance pattern “BP-K-W8”, or battle performance of battle performance pattern “BP-K-W9” , or execute the battle performance of the battle performance pattern "BP-K-W10", or the battle performance of the battle performance pattern "BP-K-W11", or the battle performance of the battle performance pattern "BP-K-W12" do. For example, as shown in Figure 8-7(C), the battle performance pattern "BP-K-W1" is determined at a rate of 15%, and the battle performance pattern "BP-K-W2" is determined at a rate of 15%. Then, the battle performance pattern "BP-K-W3" is determined at a rate of 15%, the battle performance pattern "BP-K-W4" is determined at a rate of 9%, and the battle performance pattern "BP-K-W5" is determined. is determined at a rate of 8%, the battle performance pattern "BP-K-W6" is determined at a rate of 8%, the battle performance pattern "BP-K-W7" is determined at a rate of 6%, and the battle performance pattern "BP-K-W6" is determined at a rate of 6%. "BP-K-W8" is determined at a rate of 6%, battle performance pattern "BP-K-W9" is determined at a rate of 6%, and battle performance pattern "BP-K-W10" is determined at a rate of 4%. , the battle performance pattern "BP-K-W11" is determined at a rate of 4%, the battle performance pattern "BP-K-W12" is determined at a rate of 4%, and either of the determined patterns is executed.

According to Figure 8-7 (A), in the super reach (weak battle) miss (variation pattern #13), the battle production that does not include "actual object movement" ("BP-J-L2") is better. It is determined at a higher rate than the battle production ("BP-J-L1") that includes "actual object action". On the other hand, in the super reach (weak battle) jackpot (variation pattern #18), the battle effects that include "actual object movement" ("BP-J-W1", "BP-J-W3") are better It is decided at a higher rate than the battle productions ("BP-J-W2", "BP-J-W4") that do not include "physical movement". Therefore, when there is movement of the movable body 011SH32 during the weak battle, the expectation of victory (the degree of expectation of a jackpot) is higher than when there is no movement of the movable body 011SH32 during the weak battle.

Similarly, according to Figure 8-7 (B), when the movable body 011SH32 moves during a medium battle, the victory expectation (jackpot) is higher than when the movable body 011SH32 does not move during a medium battle. expectations) are high. Also, according to Figure 8-7 (C), when there is a movement of the movable body 011SH32 during a strong battle, the expectation of victory (expectation of a jackpot) is higher than when there is no movement of the movable body 011SH32 during a strong battle. degree) is high.

Also, according to Figure 8-7 (B), in the case of super reach (medium battle) failure (variation pattern #14), battle productions that do not include "weak title" (BP-T-L2, BP-T-L4) is determined at a higher rate than battle productions (BP-T-L1, BP-T-L3) that include "weak titles". On the other hand, in the super reach (medium battle) jackpot (variation pattern #19), battle effects including "weak title" (BP-T-W1, BP-T-W3, BP-T-W5, BP-T-W7) The decision ratio is not different between battle productions that do not include "weak titles" (BP-T-W2, BP-T-W4, BP-T-W6, BP-T-W8). Therefore, if the start of a medium battle is suggested after the start of a light battle is suggested and the medium battle is started (so-called a case where a weak battle becomes a medium battle), it is better to start the medium battle from the beginning. The expectation of victory (the expectation of hitting the jackpot) is higher than when a medium battle is started after being suggested.

Similarly, according to Figure 8-7 (C), after the start of a light battle is suggested, the start of a medium battle is suggested, and then the start of a strong battle is further suggested, and a strong battle is started (weak battle , if the battle progresses to a medium battle, then a strong battle), but if the start of a medium battle is suggested, then the start of a strong battle is suggested, and the strong battle starts (if the battle progresses to a medium battle, then a strong battle). The expectation of winning (the expectation of hitting the jackpot) is higher than that. Also, if the start of a strong battle is suggested after the start of a medium battle is suggested, and the strong battle starts (if the battle progresses to a medium battle and then a strong battle), the start of a strong battle is suggested from the beginning. The expectation of victory (the expectation of hitting the jackpot) is higher than when a strong battle is started.

Also, according to Figure 8-7 (A), in the super reach (weak battle) jackpot (variation pattern #18), battle performances that do not include "relief (win)" ("BP-J-W1", "BP -J-W2'') is determined at a higher rate than battle effects that include ``relief (win)'' (``BP-J-W3'', ``BP-J-W4''). Therefore, when winning a weak battle, the frequency of winning without going through relief is higher than the frequency of winning through relief.

Similarly, according to FIG. 8-7(B), when winning in medium battles, the frequency of winning without going through relief is higher than the frequency of winning through relief. Furthermore, according to FIG. 8-7(C), when winning in a strong battle, the frequency of winning without going through relief is higher than the frequency of winning through relief.

FIG. 8-8 is an explanatory diagram illustrating item image rendering. The pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the feature section 011SH is capable of performing an item image presentation that displays an item image.

As item images displayed in the item image presentation, an up card image 011SHUPC as shown in FIG. 8-8(A) and a cancel card image 011SHCXLC as shown in FIG. 8-8(B) are prepared. Up cards (same as cancel cards) are not always acquired (obtained), but may or may not be acquired depending on the fluctuation. The acquired up card (as well as the cancel card) is displayed (stocked and displayed) on the screen and used later. As shown in FIG. 8-8(C), the up card acquisition timing (that is, the timing at which it is stocked) is immediately after the fluctuation starts or immediately after the reach. The up card is used when there is a re-fluctuation in the case of pseudo-coupling, or when the battle is rising.

When the up card is used at the time of re-variation in the case of pseudo-continuation, the movement when using the up-card is that the up-card acts on the temporary stop symbol (UP (up) the stop symbol to a pseudo-continuation symbol (re-variation symbol). (change)), and as a result, it is changed again (see Figures 8-10 (H4) to 8-10 (L4)). When an up card is used when a battle is rising, the movement when using an up card is that the up card acts on the title ("weak title" or "medium title") (changes the title to a higher rank battle). UP (change)) to improve the battle performance (see Figures 8-12 (C3) to 8-12 (F3)). Note that a method for determining whether to obtain an up card, the timing of obtaining it, the usage situation, etc. will be described later.

As shown in FIG. 8-8(C), the timing at which cancel cards are acquired (that is, the timing at which they are stocked) is immediately after the fluctuation starts or immediately after the reach. Cancel cards are used when there is a re-fluctuation in the case of pseudo-coupling, when the battle is starting up when there is a build-up, and when there is relief when there is relief.

When a cancel card is used at the time of re-variation in the case of pseudo-continuation, the movement when using the cancel card is that the cancel card acts on the temporarily stopped symbol (cancels the stop of the symbol) and causes it to re-varie as a result. (See Figure 8-10 (H5) to Figure 8-10 (L5)). When a cancel card is used at the start of a battle, the action when using the cancel card is that the cancel card acts on the title ("weak title" or "medium title") (cancels the title). As a result, the battle performance is improved (see Figures 8-12 (C4) to 8-12 (F4)). When a cancel card is used for relief when there is relief, the movement when using the cancel card is that the cancel card acts on the result of the battle (cancels the result of defeat), and as a result, the relief effect is executed. (See Figure 8-13 (C2) to Figure 8-13 (G2)). Note that a method of determining whether or not to obtain a cancellation card, the timing of obtaining it, the usage situation, etc. will be described later.

FIGS. 8-9 are examples of performance operations related to the pseudo continuous notice performance. In FIGS. 8-9, examples of performance operations are explained for three flows. First, in the flow of Figure 8-9 (A) → (B) → (C) → (D) → (E1) → (F1), the pseudo-continuous pattern is stopped and stimulated, but the pseudo-continuous pattern is This is an example of a production operation when the symbol does not stop and becomes a miss. Second, in the flow of Figure 8-9 (A) → (B) → (C) → (D) → (E2) → (F2), the pseudo-continuous pattern was stopped and stimulated, but the pseudo-continuous pattern This is an example of a production operation when the symbol does not stop and develops into a super reach. Thirdly, in the flow of Figure 8-9 (A) → (B) → (C) → (D) → (E3) → (F3), the pseudo continuous pattern is stopped and stirred, and the pseudo continuous pattern is This is an example of a performance operation when stopping.

Figure 8-9 (A) shows the scene immediately before the symbol "7" becomes reachable. Figure 8-9 (B) shows a situation where the symbol "7" becomes a reach. FIG. 8-9(C) is a scene immediately before the pseudo continuous symbol "re" stops on the middle symbol or the pseudo continuous symbol is stopped. Figure 8-9(D) is
This is a scene where the pseudo continuous pattern ``re'' stops on the middle pattern, or the pseudo continuous pattern is incited to stop. FIG. 8-9 (E1) is a scene following FIG. 8-9 (D), and is a scene immediately before the symbol "6" stops as the middle symbol. Figure 8-9 (F1) is a scene where the symbol "6" has stopped as the middle symbol. In other words, this is a scene where the normal reach is off. However, the scene in Figure 8-9 (F1) appears not only in the scene where the normal reach is missed, but also in the scene where the item is used, as will be described later (see Figure 8-10)).

Figure 8-9 (E2) is another scene following Figure 8-9 (D), in which the stop of the pseudo-continuous symbol "Re" is denied as the middle symbol (the stop of the symbol "6" is also denied). It's a scene. Figure 8-9 (F2) is a scene where the medium symbol changes rapidly and develops into a super reach. FIG. 8-9 (E3) is another scene following FIG. 8-9 (D), and is a scene immediately before the pseudo continuous symbol "Re" stops as the middle symbol. FIG. 8-9 (F3) is a scene where the pseudo continuous symbol "Re" stops as the middle symbol. In other words, although not shown in the figure, the re-variable display is performed following FIG. 8-9 (F3).

FIG. 8-10 is an example of a production operation related to a pseudo continuous notice production. In FIG. 8-10, as a scene following FIG. 8-9 (F1), examples of production operations are explained for two flows. First, the flow of Figure 8-10 (G4) → (H4) → (I4) → (J4) → (K4) → (L4) following Figure 8-9 (F1) is that the up card is used. This is an example of the effect operation when the change occurs again. Second, the flow of Figure 8-10 (G5) → (H5) → (I5) → (J5) → (K5) → (L5) following Figure 8-9 (F1) is that the cancellation card is used. This is an example of the effect operation when the change occurs again.

FIG. 8-10 (G4) is a scene following FIG. 8-9 (F1), and is a scene in which an activation image 011SHHD1 suggesting that an up card is activated (used) is displayed. In addition, the middle symbol "6" in Figure 8-9 (F1) will definitely stop if it does not continue to Figure 8-10 (G4) (if the normal reach is off), but in Figure 8-10 (G4) In the case where it continues (when the up card is used later), the middle symbol "6" in FIG. 8-9 (F1) does not definitely stop (for example, it is shaking slightly). In other words, the middle symbol "6" in FIG. 8-9 (F1) following FIG. 8-10 (G4) is a temporary stop symbol.

FIG. 8-10 (H4) shows a scene where it is announced that the up card will be used. Specifically, the up card image 011SHUPC is displayed in a large size at the center of the screen. Although the details will be explained later, there are cases where an up card is used after being acquired (stocked) (in other words, a stocked up card is used), and there are also cases where an up card is used even though it has not been acquired (stocked). There are also cases where it is used even though there is no up card in stock.

FIG. 8-10 (I4) shows a scene where the up card acts on the symbol "6" which is a temporary stop symbol. Specifically, the up card image 011SHUPC is displayed superimposed on the symbol "6" which is the temporary stop symbol. Figure 8-10 (J4) shows a scene where the symbol "6" starts to move due to the effect of the up card. Figure 8-10 (K4) shows the scene immediately before the pseudo-continuous pattern "Re" stops. FIG. 8-10 (L4) shows a scene where the pseudo-continuous symbol "Re" has stopped. In other words, Figures 8-10 (H4) to 8-10 (L4) are scenes in which the up card acts on the temporarily stopped symbol "6" (scenes in which the stopped symbol "6" is updated to the pseudo-continuous symbol "re") It is. Note that, although not shown, a re-variable display is performed following FIG. 8-10 (L4).

FIG. 8-10 (G5) is another scene following FIG. 8-9 (F1), in which an activation image 011SHHD2 suggesting that a cancel card is activated (used) is displayed. In addition, the middle symbol "6" in Figure 8-9 (F1) will definitely stop if it does not continue to Figure 8-10 (G5) (when the normal reach is off), but in Figure 8-10 (G5) The middle symbol “6” in Figure 8-9 (F1) when continuing (when a cancel card is used later)
does not stop definitively (for example, it is shaking slightly). In other words, the middle symbol "6" in FIG. 8-9 (F1) following FIG. 8-10 (G5) is a temporary stop symbol.

FIG. 8-10 (H5) shows a scene where it is announced that the cancellation card will be used. Specifically, the cancellation card image 011SHCXLC is displayed in a large size at the center of the screen. Although the details will be described later, a cancellation card may be used after being acquired (stocked) (in other words, a stocked cancellation card is used), or it may be used even though it has not been acquired (stocked). There are also cases where the cancellation card is used even though there is no stock of cancellation cards.

FIG. 8-10 (I5) shows a scene where the cancel card acts on the symbol "6" which is a temporary stop symbol. Specifically, the cancel card image 011SHCXLC is displayed superimposed on the symbol "6" which is the temporary stop symbol. FIG. 8-10 (J5) shows the scene immediately before the symbol "6" affected by the cancel card is canceled (destroyed, etc.). Figure 8-10 (K5) shows a scene where the symbol "6" has been canceled (destroyed, etc.). FIG. 8-10 (L5) is a scene where the pseudo-continuous symbol "Re" is displayed in place of the canceled (destroyed, etc.) symbol "6". In other words, Figures 8-10 (H5) to 8-10 (L5) are scenes in which the cancel card acts on the temporary stop symbol "6" (cancels the stop of the symbol "6", and changes the pseudo-continuous symbol "re"). (The scene was changed). Note that although not shown in the figure, a re-variable display is performed following FIG. 8-10 (L5).

The manner in which the pseudo-continuation incitement effect is executed is not particularly limited, but in this example, the ready-to-reach symbol (symbol "7" in the examples of Figures 8-9 and 8-10) and the symbol one position before the ready-to-reach symbol ( In the example of FIGS. 8-9 and 8-10, a pseudo-continuous pattern "re" is inserted between the symbols "6") to perform a pseudo-continuous inciting effect. Therefore, for example, when the reachable symbol is "3", a pseudo-continuous pattern "Re" is inserted between the reachable symbol "3" and the symbol "2" one symbol before the reachable symbol, and a pseudo-continuous incitement effect (for example, , In the scene of FIG. 8-9 (D), an effect is performed that incites whether the middle symbol becomes a pseudo-continuous symbol "re" or a symbol "2".

FIG. 8-11 is an example of a performance operation related to title display of a battle performance. In FIGS. 8-11, examples of production operations are explained for two flows. First, the flow from FIG. 8-11 (A) to (B1) is an example of the performance operation when a weak battle is started. Second, the flow from FIG. 8-11 (A) → (B2) → (C2) is an example of the performance operation when a medium battle is started.

FIG. 8-11(A) shows a scene where the weak title image 011SHJT is displayed. FIG. 8-11 (B1) is a scene following FIG. 8-11 (A), and is a scene where the weak battle start image 011SHJBS is displayed. Although not shown, a weak battle with character A takes place following FIG. 8-11 (B1).

FIG. 8-11 (B2) is another scene following FIG. 8-11 (A), in which the middle title image 011SHTT is displayed. FIG. 8-11 (C2) shows a scene where the medium battle start image 011SHTBS is displayed. Although not shown, a medium battle with character B takes place following FIG. 8-11 (C2). In other words, the flow from FIG. 8-11 (A) → (B2) → (C2) represents a scene where a weak battle progresses to a medium battle.

FIG. 8-12 is an example of a performance operation related to title display of a battle performance. In FIG. 8-12, as a scene following FIG. 8-11(A), examples of production operations are explained for two flows. First, the flow of Figure 8-12 (B3) → (C3) → (D3) → (E3) → (F3) → (G3) following Figure 8-11 (A) is that the up card is used. This is an example of the production operation when the battle progresses from a weak battle to a medium battle. Second, in the flow of Figure 8-12 (B4) → (C4) → (D4) → (E4) → (F4) → (G4) following Figure 8-11 (A), the cancellation card is used. This is an example of the production operation when the battle progresses from a weak battle to a medium battle.

FIG. 8-12 (B3) is another scene following FIG. 8-11 (A), in which an activation image 011SHHD1 suggesting that an up card is activated (used) is displayed. FIG. 8-12 (C3) is a scene in which it is announced that an up card will be used. Specifically, the up card image 011SHUPC is displayed in a large size at the center of the screen. Figure 8-12 (D3) shows a scene where an up card acts on a weak title. Specifically, the up card image 011SHUPC is displayed superimposed on the weak title image 011SHJT.

Figure 8-12 (E3) shows a scene where the weak title changes due to the effect of the up card. Specifically, instead of the weak title image 011SHJT, the weak medium title image 011SHJTT is displayed. The weak-medium title image 011SHJTT is a title image between the weak title image 011SHJT and the medium title image 011SHTT (in the middle of changing from the weak title image 011SHJT to the medium title image 011SHTT). That is, the weak title image 011SHJT displays that the opponent in the battle is character A and that the expected victory level is 1 star, and the medium title image 011SHTT displays that the opponent in the battle is character B. Although it is displayed that the expected degree of victory is 2 stars, the weak/medium title image 011SHJTT displays that the opponent in the battle is character A and that the expected degree of victory is 2 stars.

Note that FIG. 8-12 (E3) shows an example in which a weak-medium title image 011SHJTT, which is between the weak title image 011SHJT and the medium title image 011SHTT, is displayed when an up card is applied to a weak title. When an up card is applied to a medium title, a medium-high title image 011SHTKT (see FIG. 8-31(F)) is displayed, which is between the medium title image 011SHTT and the strong title image 011SHKT. That is, the medium title image 011SHTT displays that the opponent in the battle is character B and that the expected victory level is 2 stars, and the strong title image 011SHKT displays that the opponent in the battle is character C. Although it is displayed that the expected degree of victory is 3 stars, the medium-strong title image 011SHTKT displays that the opponent in the battle is character B and that the expected degree of victory is 3 stars.

FIG. 8-12 (F3) shows a scene where the middle title is displayed. Specifically, the medium title image 011SHTT is displayed instead of the low medium title image 011SHJTT. FIG. 8-12 (G3) shows a scene where the medium battle start image 011SHTBS is displayed. Although not shown, a medium battle with character B takes place following FIG. 8-12 (G3). In other words, the flow of Figure 8-11 (A) → (B3) → (C3) → (D3) → (E3) → (F3) → (G3) is that up cards are used and a weak battle becomes a medium battle. represents the scene.

FIG. 8-12 (B4) is a scene following FIG. 8-11 (A), and is a scene where an activation image 011SHHD2 suggesting that a cancel card is activated (used) is displayed. FIG. 8-12 (C4) shows a scene where it is announced that the cancellation card will be used. Specifically, the cancellation card image 011SHCXLC is displayed in a large size at the center of the screen. Figure 8-12 (D4) shows a scene where a cancel card acts on a weak title. Specifically, the cancellation card image 011SHCXLC is displayed superimposed on the weak title image 011SHJT.

FIG. 8-12 (E4) shows a scene where a weak title affected by a cancel card is canceled. Specifically, this is a scene where the weak title image 011SHJT is destroyed or the like. FIG. 8-12 (F4) shows a scene where the middle title is displayed. Specifically, the medium title image 011SHTT is displayed in place of the destroyed weak title image 011SHJTT. FIG. 8-12 (G4) shows a scene where the medium battle start image 011SHTBS is displayed. Although not shown, a medium battle with character B takes place following FIG. 8-12 (G4). In other words, the flow of Figure 8-11 (A) → (B4) → (C4) → (D4) → (E4) → (F4) → (G4) is that a cancel card is used and a weak battle becomes a medium battle. represents the scene.

FIG. 8-13 is an example of performance operation related to relief performance. In FIGS. 8-13, examples of production operations are explained for two flows. First, the flow of Figure 8-13 (A) → (B1) → (C1) → (D1) → (E1) → (F1) is the case when the cancel card is not used (and the up card is also used). This is an example of a performance operation when a relief performance is executed. Second, the flow of Figure 8-13 (A) → (B2) → (C2) → (D2) → (E2) → (F2) → (G2) is that the cancel card is used and the relief effect is executed. This is an example of a performance operation when

FIG. 8-13(A) shows a scene where the LOSE image 011SHKH1 is displayed. FIG. 8-13 (B1) is a scene following FIG. 8-13 (A), in which the LOSE image 011SHKH1 is destroyed. FIG. 8-13 (C1) is a scene where an ally character stands up. FIG. 8-13 (D1) shows a scene where an ally character is fighting back. FIG. 8-13 (E1) shows the scene after the ally character has delivered the final blow. FIG. 8-13 (F1) shows a scene where WIN image 011SHKH2 is displayed.

FIG. 8-13 (B2) is another scene following FIG. 8-13 (A), and is a scene where an activation image 011SHHD2 suggesting that a cancel card is activated (used) is displayed. FIG. 8-13 (C2) shows a scene where it is announced that the cancellation card will be used. Specifically, the cancellation card image 011SHCXLC is displayed in a large size at the center of the screen. FIG. 8-13 (D2) shows a scene where the cancel card acts on the LOSE image 011SHKH1. Specifically, the cancel card image 011SHCXLC is displayed superimposed on the LOSE image 011SHKH1. FIG. 8-13 (E2) shows a scene where the LOSE image 011SHKH1 is destroyed. Figure 8-13 (F2) shows the scene after the ally character has delivered the final blow. FIG. 8-12 (G2) shows a scene where WIN image 011SHKH2 is displayed.

FIG. 8-14 is an example of the determination ratio of the presence or absence of items targeted for relief. As mentioned above, in the case of super reach (variation patterns #13 to #15, #18 to #20), a battle performance is performed (see Figure 8-2), and the mode of battle performance (battle performance pattern) is , is determined for each variation pattern (see Figures 8-4, 8-5, and 8-7). The battle production patterns including “relief (win)” are “BP-J-W3” and “BP-J-W4” in the super reach (weak battle) jackpot (variation pattern #18) in Figure 8-4 (B). and the four "BP-T-W5" to "BP-T-W8" in the super reach (medium battle) jackpot (variation pattern #19) in Figure 8-4 (D), and the four in Figure 8-5 ( These are the six from "BP-K-W7" to "BP-K-W12" in B) Super Reach (Strong Battle) Jackpot (Variation Pattern #20). When these battle effect patterns are determined, relief effects are executed. Figure 8-14 shows the case where relief effects are executed (that is, "BP-J-W3", "BP-J-W4", "BP-T-W5" to "BP-T-W8", "BP -K-W7" to "BP-K-W12"), it shows the determination ratio (an example) of the presence or absence of an item, etc.

In Figure 8-14, "Used or not" in the "Used or not, Obtained or not, Type, Acquisition timing, Obtained number" column indicates whether or not the item (up card, cancel card) is used in the execution of the relief effect. be. ``Not used'' in the column of determination contents indicates that the item will not be used when performing the rescue performance, and ``Used'' in the column of determination contents indicates that the item will be used when performing the rescue performance.

In Figure 8-14, "Acquired or not" in the column "Used or not, Obtained or not, Type, Obtained timing, Number of obtained" is the item's acquisition (stock ). "Not acquired" in the decision content column indicates that the item to be used will not be acquired (stocked) when the usage status is "used", and "acquired" in the decision content column indicates whether the item will be used or not. indicates that the item to be used is acquired (stocked) when it is "used".

In Figure 8-14, "Type" in the "Used or not, Obtained or not, Type, Acquisition timing, Number of acquisitions" column is the type of item when acquiring the item to be used when performing the rescue performance. . "Up card" in the decision content column indicates that an up card will be obtained if the usage status is "used" and the acquisition status is "obtained", and the "cancellation card" in the decision content column indicates that a cancellation card is to be obtained when the presence or absence of use is "Used" and the presence or absence of acquisition is "Obtained".

In Figure 8-14, "Acquisition timing" in the "Used or not, Obtained or not, Type, Acquisition timing, Number of acquisitions" column is the acquisition timing when acquiring the item to be used when performing the rescue performance. It is. "Immediately after the start of variation" in the column of decision details indicates that the acquisition will be made immediately after the start of variation when the presence/absence of use is "Used" and the presence/absence of acquisition is "Obtained." "Immediately" indicates that the item will be acquired immediately after reach, when the usage status is ``Used'' and the acquisition status is ``Obtained.''

In Figure 8-14, "Number of acquisitions" in the column "Used or not, Acquired or not, Type, Timing of acquisition, Number of acquisitions" is the number of items acquired when acquiring items to be used when performing relief effects. be. “1 card” in the decision content column indicates that one card (up card or cancellation card) will be acquired if the usage status is “used” and the acquisition status is “acquired”. There is.

In other words, the decision items in the decision column ("Not used", "Used, not acquired", "Used, acquired, up card, immediately after the start of fluctuation, 1 card", "Used, acquired, up card") , Immediately after reach, 1 card", "Used, obtained, cancel card, immediately after fluctuation start, 1 card", "Used, obtained, cancel card, immediately after reach, 1 card"), "Not used" indicates that neither the up card nor the cancel card is used when executing the relief effect. In other words, it indicates that the rescue performance is simply executed without acquiring (stocking) items immediately after the start of variation or immediately after the reach, and without using any items when executing the relief performance. Note that the flow of FIG. 8-13 (A) → (B1) → (C1) → (D1) → (E1) → (F1) is simply an example of a performance operation when a relief performance is executed.

"Used, not acquired" indicates that the item is used, but the item to be used is not acquired (stocked) when performing the rescue performance. In other words, it indicates that the item is used when executing the relief effect without acquiring (stocking) the item immediately after the fluctuation starts or immediately after reaching the reach. Note that the item used is a cancellation card.

"Used, acquired, up card, immediately after the start of fluctuation, 1 card" is related to the execution of the relief effect, and one up card is acquired (stocked) immediately after the start of the change, and when the relief effect is executed, the up card is indicates that it is to be used. However, the determination rate is 0%. "Used, obtained, up card, immediately after reaching, 1 card" is related to the execution of a relief effect, where one up card is acquired (stocked) immediately after reaching, and the up card is used when executing the relief effect. It indicates that However, the determination rate is 0%.

"Used, acquired, cancel card, immediately after the start of fluctuation, 1 card" is related to the execution of the relief effect, and one cancel card is acquired (stocked) immediately after the start of the change, and when executing the relief effect, the cancellation card is indicates that it will be used. "Used, obtained, cancel card, immediately after reach, 1 card" is related to the execution of a relief effect, and one cancel card is acquired (stocked) immediately after reach, and the cancel card is used when executing the relief effect. It indicates that

According to the example shown in Figure 8-14, "Not used" is determined at a rate of 1%, "Used, not acquired" is determined at a rate of 9%, and "Used, acquired, up card, "Immediately after the start of fluctuation, 1 card" is determined at a rate of 0%, "Used, acquired, up card, immediately after reaching, 1 card" is determined at a rate of 0%, and "Used, acquired, canceled card" is determined at a rate of 0%. , Immediately after the start of variation, 1 card" is determined at a rate of 75%, and "Used, acquired, canceled card, immediately after reaching, 1 card" is determined at a rate of 15%.

According to the example shown in FIGS. 8-14, a cancel card may be used when performing a relief effect, but an up card may not be used. Further, neither the up card nor the cancel card may be used when performing the relief effect. When performing a rescue performance, the rate at which a cancel card is used is 99%, the rate at which an up card is used is 0%, and the rate at which neither an up card nor a cancel card is used is 1%. . In other words, when the relief effect is executed, the cancel card is used very frequently (99%).

In addition, there are cases in which items (specifically, cancel cards) used when performing a rescue performance are acquired (stocked) and cases in which they are not acquired (in cases where they are used without being acquired). When using an item (cancellation card) when performing a rescue performance, the percentage of obtaining the item (cancellation card) is approximately 91% (90/99), and the percentage of not obtaining the item (cancellation card) is approximately 9% (9/99). In other words, when an item (cancellation card) is used to perform a relief performance, the item (cancellation card) is acquired very frequently (approximately 91%).

Further, when acquiring an item (cancellation card) to be used when performing a relief performance, the item (cancellation card) may be acquired immediately after the start of fluctuation or immediately after reach. When acquiring items (cancellation cards) used when performing rescue effects, the rate of acquisition immediately after the start of fluctuation is approximately 83% (75/90), and the rate of acquisition immediately after reach is approximately 17% (15/15). 90). In other words, when acquiring an item (cancellation card) used when performing a relief performance, the frequency of acquiring it immediately after the start of fluctuation is higher than the frequency of acquiring it immediately after reaching.

FIG. 8-15 is an example of the determination ratio of whether or not there is an item targeted at the beginning of a battle. As mentioned above, in the case of super reach (variation patterns #13 to #15, #18 to #20), a battle performance is performed (see Figure 8-2), and the mode of battle performance (battle performance pattern) is , is determined for each variation pattern (see Figures 8-4, 8-5, and 8-7). The battle production pattern including "weak title → medium title" or "medium title → strong title" is "BP-T-L1 ", "BP-T-L3" and "BP-T-W1" and "BP-T-W3" in the super reach (medium battle) jackpot (variation pattern #19) in Figure 8-4 (D) , "BP-T-W5", "BP-T-W7", and "BP-K-L1" in the super reach (strong battle) out of Figure 8-5 (A) (variation pattern #15), ``BP-K-L2'', ``BP-K-L4'', ``BP-K-L5'' and ``BP-K-L5'' in the super reach (strong battle) jackpot (variation pattern #20) in Figure 8-5 (B). BP-K-W1”, “BP-K-W2”, “BP-K-W4”, “BP-K-W5”, “BP-K-W7”, “BP-K-W8”, “BP- K-W10'' and ``BP-K-W11''. When these battle production patterns are determined, a battle build-up is executed. FIG. 8-15 shows the determination ratio (an example) of the presence or absence of items, etc. when a battle upstart is executed.

FIG. 8-15(A) is an example of the determination ratio of the presence or absence of items, etc. when the number of battles is 1 and no items targeted for relief are acquired. FIG. 8-15(B) is an example of the determination ratio of the presence or absence of items, etc. in the case where the number of battles is 1 and there is an acquisition of an item targeting relief. FIG. 8-15(C) is an example of the determination ratio of the presence or absence of items, etc. in the case where the number of battles has been raised twice and no items targeted for relief have been obtained. FIG. 8-15(D) is an example of the determination ratio of the presence or absence of items, etc. in the case where the number of battles has been raised twice and an item targeted for relief has been acquired.

The number of times a battle rises to one corresponds to the case where a weak title is displayed first in a medium battle, and the case where a medium title is displayed first in a strong battle. Specifically, the two "BP-T-L1" and "BP-T-L3" in the super reach (medium battle) miss (variation pattern #14) in Figure 8-4 (C), and the two in Figure 8-4 "BP-T-W1", "BP-T-W3", "BP-T-W5", "BP-T-W7" in (D) Super Reach (Medium Battle) Jackpot (Variation Pattern #19) 4, "BP-K-L2" and "BP-K-L5" in the super reach (strong battle) out of Figure 8-5 (A) (variation pattern #15), and Figure 8-5 (B )'s Super Reach (Strong Battle) Jackpot (Fluctuating Pattern #20) ``BP-K-W2'', ``BP-K-W5'', ``BP-K-W8'', ``BP-K-W11'' It is.

The case where the battle rises twice corresponds to a case where a weak title is displayed first even though it is a strong battle. Specifically, the two "BP-K-L1" and "BP-K-L4" in the super reach (strong battle) miss (variation pattern #15) in Figure 8-5 (A), and the two in Figure 8-5 "BP-K-W1", "BP-K-W4", "BP-K-W7", "BP-K-W10" in (B) super reach (strong battle) jackpot (variation pattern #20) There are four.

Non-acquisition of items with relief as a target corresponds to cases in which relief is not performed, and cases in which relief is performed but items are not acquired (stocked) with relief as a target. Specifically, the case where relief is carried out but items are not stocked with relief as the target means Card, immediately after the fluctuation starts, 1 card", "Used, obtained, up card, immediately after reach, 1 card", "Used, obtained, cancel card, immediately after the fluctuation starts, 1 card", "Used, obtained This is a case where "not used" or "used, not acquired" is determined among "cancel card, immediately after reach, 1 card".

Acquisition of items targeted at relief corresponds to the case where items for relief are stocked. Specifically, the decision items in Figure 8-14 ("Not used", "Used, not acquired", "Used, acquired, up card, immediately after the start of fluctuation, 1 card", "Used, acquired") , up card, immediately after reach, 1 card", "used, obtained, cancel card, immediately after fluctuation start, 1 card", "used, obtained, cancel card, immediately after reach, 1 card"), " Used, obtained, Up card, Immediately after fluctuation starts, 1 card", "Used, obtained, Up card, Immediately after reach, 1 card", "Used, obtained, Cancel card, Immediately after fluctuation starts, 1 card ”, “Used, Obtained, Cancelled Card, Immediately After Reach, 1 Card” is determined. However, as mentioned above, the determination ratios of "used, obtained, up card, immediately after the start of fluctuation, 1 card" and "used, obtained, up card, immediately after reach, 1 card" are both assumed to be 0%. There is.

In Figure 8-15, "Used or not" in the "Used or not used, Obtained or not, Type, Obtained timing, Number of obtained" column indicates whether or not the item (up card, cancel card) is used in the build-up to the battle. . ``Not used'' in the decision content column indicates that the item will not be used in the course of a battle, and ``Used'' in the decision content column indicates that the item will be used in the course of a battle.

In Figure 8-15, "Acquired or not" in the column "Used or not, Obtained or not, Type, Obtained timing, Number of obtained" indicates the acquisition (stock) of the item when the item is used at the beginning of a battle. It is presence or absence. "Not acquired" in the decision content column indicates that the item to be used will not be acquired (stocked) when the usage status is "used", and "acquired" in the decision content column indicates whether the item will be used or not. indicates that the item to be used is acquired (stocked) when it is "used".

In FIG. 8-15, "Type" in the "Used or not, Obtained or not, Type, Timing of Obtainment, Number of Obtained" column is the type of item when obtaining the item to be used in a battle. "Up card" in the decision content column indicates that an up card will be obtained if the usage status is "used" and the acquisition status is "obtained", and the "cancellation card" in the decision content column indicates that a cancellation card is to be obtained when the presence or absence of use is "Used" and the presence or absence of acquisition is "Obtained".

In Figure 8-15, "Acquisition timing" in the column "Used or not, Obtained or not, Type, Timing of acquisition, Number of acquisitions" is the timing of acquisition when acquiring an item to be used in the course of a battle. . "Immediately after the start of variation" in the column of decision details indicates that the acquisition will be made immediately after the start of variation when the presence/absence of use is "Used" and the presence/absence of acquisition is "Obtained." "Immediately" indicates that the item will be acquired immediately after reach, when the usage status is ``Used'' and the acquisition status is ``Obtained.''

In FIG. 8-15, the "Number of acquisitions" in the column "Used or not, Obtained or not, Type, Timing of acquisition, Number of acquisitions" is the number of items acquired when acquiring items to be used in the course of a battle. "1 card" in the decision content column indicates that one card (up card or cancellation card) will be acquired when the usage status is ``used'' and the acquisition status is ``acquired''. ``2 cards'' in the decision content column means 2 cards (2 up cards or 2 cancel cards) when the usage status is ``used'' and the acquisition status is ``acquired.'' This indicates that the information will be acquired.

In other words, in Figure 8-15 (A) (the same applies to Figure 8-15 (B)), the determination items in the column of determination contents ("Not used", "Used, not acquired", "Used, acquired, Up card, immediately after fluctuation starts, 1 card", "Used, obtained, Up card, immediately after reach, 1 card", "Used, obtained, cancel card, immediately after fluctuation starts, 1 card", "Used, "Obtained, Cancel Card, Immediately After Reach, 1 Card"), "Not Used" indicates that neither the Up Card nor the Cancel Card will be used in the course of one battle. In other words, it does not acquire (stock) items immediately after the start of fluctuation or reach, nor does it use items during the build-up of a single battle, but simply executes the build-up of a single battle. . Note that the flow of FIGS. 8-11 (A) → (B2) → (C2) is an example of the performance operation when a single battle is simply executed.

"Used, not acquired" indicates that the item is used in one battle, but the item to be used is not acquired (stocked). In other words, it indicates that the item is used in the build-up to one battle without acquiring (stocking) the item immediately after the start of fluctuation or immediately after reaching the reach. Note that the item used is an up card.

"Used, obtained, up card, immediately after the start of fluctuation, 1 card" is related to the rise of one battle, and one up card is acquired (stocked) immediately after the start of fluctuation, and upon the rise of one battle. , indicates that the up card is to be used. "Used, obtained, up card, immediately after reach, 1 card" is related to the rise of one battle, and one up card is acquired (stocked) immediately after reach, and upon the rise of one battle, the corresponding Indicates that an up card is to be used. "Used, obtained, canceled card, immediately after the start of fluctuation, 1 card" is related to the rise of one battle, and one cancel card is acquired (stocked) immediately after the start of fluctuation, and upon the rise of one battle. , indicates that the cancellation card is to be used. "Used, obtained, cancel card, immediately after reach, 1 card" is related to the rise of one battle, and one cancel card is acquired (stocked) immediately after reach, and upon the rise of one battle, the corresponding Indicates that a cancellation card will be used.

In addition, in Figure 8-15 (C) (the same applies to Figure 8-15 (D)), the decision items in the decision content column ("Not used", "Used, not acquired", "Used, acquired, Up card, immediately after fluctuation starts, 1 card", "Used, obtained, Up card, immediately after reach, 1 card", "Used, obtained, cancel card, immediately after fluctuation starts, 1 card", "Used, Among the following: ``Obtained, canceled card, immediately after fluctuation starts, 2 pieces'', ``Used, obtained, canceled card, immediately after reach, 1 piece'', ``Used, obtained, cancel card, immediately after reach, 2 pieces'') , "Not used" indicates that neither the up card nor the cancel card will be used during the build-up of the two battles. In other words, there is no need to acquire (stock) items immediately after the start of fluctuation or reach, and there is no need to use items during the first and second battles, simply execute the first and second battles. It indicates that

“Used, not acquired” indicates that the item will be used, but the item to be used will not be acquired (stocked) in the build-up of two battles. In other words, it indicates that the item is not acquired (stocked) immediately after the start of fluctuation or immediately after the reach, but the item is used when the first and second battles start. Note that the item used is an up card both the first and second time. "Used, obtained, up card, immediately after the start of fluctuation, 1 card" is related to the build-up of two battles, and one up card is acquired (stocked) immediately after the start of fluctuation, and the up card for the first and second This indicates that the up card will be used as the battle progresses. Specifically, immediately after the fluctuation starts, one up card to be used in the build-up to the first battle is stocked, and one up card to be used in the build-up to the second battle is not stocked. Therefore, in the build-up to the first battle, stocked up cards are used, and in the build-up to the second battle, unstocked up cards are used.

"Used, obtained, up card, immediately after the start of fluctuation, 1 card" is related to the rise of two battles, and one up card is acquired (stocked) immediately after reaching, and the first and second battles This indicates that an up card will be used when rising up. Specifically, immediately after reach, one up card to be used in the build-up to the first battle is stocked, and one up card to be used in the build-up to the second battle is not stocked. Therefore, in the build-up to the first battle, stocked up cards are used, and in the build-up to the second battle, unstocked up cards are used.

"Used, obtained, cancel card, immediately after the start of fluctuation, 1 card" is related to the build-up of two battles, and one cancel card is acquired (stocked) immediately after the start of fluctuation, and the cancellation card is used for the first and second battles. This indicates that a cancel card will be used when the battle is about to begin. Specifically, immediately after the start of the fluctuation, one cancel card to be used in the build-up to the first battle is stocked, and one cancel card to be used in the build-up to the second battle is not stocked. Therefore, in the build-up to the first battle, the stocked cancel cards are used, and in the build-up to the second battle, the unstocked cancel cards are used.

"Used, obtained, cancel card, immediately after the start of fluctuation, 2 cards" is related to the build-up of two battles, and the acquisition (stock) of two cancel cards immediately after the start of fluctuation, and the cancellation card for the first and second battle. This indicates that a cancel card will be used when the battle is about to begin. Specifically, immediately after the start of the fluctuation, a total of two cards are stocked: one cancel card to be used in the build-up of the first battle, and one cancel card to be used in the build-up to the second battle. Therefore, the stocked cancel cards are used in both the first battle and the second battle.

"Used, obtained, cancel card, immediately after reach, 1 card" is related to the build-up of two battles, and one cancel card is acquired (stocked) immediately after reach, and the result is the start of the first and second battles. In this case, it is indicated that a cancellation card will be used. Specifically, immediately after reach, one cancel card to be used in the build-up to the first battle is stocked, and one cancel card to be used in the build-up to the second battle is not stocked. Therefore, in the build-up to the first battle, the stocked cancel cards are used, and in the build-up to the second battle, the unstocked cancel cards are used.

"Used, obtained, cancel card, immediately after reach, 2 cards" is related to the build-up of two battles, and the acquisition (stock) of two cancel cards immediately after reach, and the rise of the first and second battles. In this case, it is indicated that a cancellation card will be used. Specifically, immediately after reach, a total of two cards are stocked: one cancel card to be used in the build-up of the first battle, and one cancel card to be used in the build-up to the second battle. Therefore, the stocked cancel cards are used in both the first battle and the second battle.

According to the example shown in Figure 8-15 (A), if the number of battle uprisings is 1 and no items targeted for relief have been obtained, the decision items in the decision details column are determined at the ratio shown in the table. do. According to the example shown in Figure 8-15 (B), if the number of battle rises is 1 and an item targeting rescue is acquired, the decision items in the decision details column are determined at the ratio shown in the table. do. According to the example shown in Figure 8-15 (C), if the number of battle rises is 2 and no items targeting relief have been obtained, the decision items in the decision details column are determined at the ratio shown in the table. do. According to the example shown in Figure 8-15 (D), if the number of battle rises is 2 and an item targeting rescue is acquired, the decision items in the decision details column are determined at the ratio shown in the table. do.

According to the example shown in FIGS. 8-15, when executing a battle upstart, there are cases where an up card is used and a cancel card is used. Furthermore, neither up cards nor cancel cards may be used when executing a battle upstart. As an example, in the case of the example shown in Figure 8-15 (A) (when the number of battle upstarts is 1 and no items targeted for relief have been acquired), when executing the battle uprising, the battle uprising is In execution, the rate at which up cards are used is 55%, the rate at which cancel cards are used is 40%, and the rate at which neither up cards nor cancel cards are used is 5%.

In addition, items (up cards, cancel cards) used when executing a battle upstart may be acquired (stocked) or not acquired (used without being acquired). As an example, in the case of the example shown in Figure 8-15 (A) (when the number of battle upstarts is 1 and no items targeted for relief have been acquired), when executing the battle uprising, the item (up card , cancellation card), the rate of acquiring the item is approximately 58% (55/95), and the rate of not acquiring the item is approximately 42% (40/95).

Also, when acquiring items (up cards, cancel cards) used when performing a battle upstart, if you acquire the items (up cards, cancel cards) immediately after the fluctuation starts, you will also acquire them immediately after reaching. In some cases. As an example, in the case of the example shown in Figure 8-15 (A) (when the number of battle upstarts is 1 and no items targeted for relief have been acquired), the item ( When acquiring an up card or a cancel card, the rate of acquiring it immediately after the start of fluctuation is about 73% (40/55), and the rate of acquiring it immediately after reach is about 27% (15/55).

FIGS. 8-16 and 8-17 are examples of determination ratios such as the presence or absence of items targeting pseudo-association. As described above, the presence or absence of pseudo-association and the number of times are determined according to the fluctuation pattern (see FIG. 8-3). Figures 8-16 and 8-17 show the determination ratio (an example) of the presence or absence of items when pseudo-coupling (1 pseudo-coupling, 2 pseudo-couplings, or 3 pseudo-couplings) is determined. There is.

FIG. 8-16(A) is an example of the determination ratio of the presence or absence of items, etc. in the case of normal reach (missing) and pseudo-association. FIG. 8-16(B) is an example of the determination ratio of the presence or absence of items, etc. in the case of normal reach (jackpot) and pseudo-continuation. FIG. 8-17(A) is an example of the determination ratio of the presence or absence of items, etc. in the case of super reach (missing) and pseudo-association. FIG. 8-17(B) is an example of the determination ratio of the presence or absence of items, etc. in the case of super reach (jackpot), pseudo-continuation, and the number of cancel cards obtained is 0 to 2. FIG. 8-17(C) is an example of the determination ratio of the presence or absence of items, etc. in the case of super reach (jackpot), pseudo-continuation, and the number of cancel cards obtained is three.

In Figures 8-17 (B) and 8-17 (C), the "number of cancel cards acquired" refers to the number of cancel cards acquired that targets the build-up of a battle, and the number of cancel cards acquired that targets relief. , is the total number of cancellation cards acquired. In other words, it is the number of cancel cards that are acquired targeting targets other than pseudo-association. In the battle performance in super reach (jackpot), both a battle build-up and a rescue performance may be performed. The number of cancel cards that target battle upstarts is 0 to 2 (see Figure 8-15), and the number of cancel cards that target relief is 0 to 1 (see Figure 8-14). In other words, in the case of a super reach (big hit), the number of canceled cards that are acquired with targets other than pseudo-links is 0 to 3. For example, if you acquire 3 cancel cards targeting people other than the pseudo-association, and 1 cancel card targeting the pseudo-association, the total number of cancel cards acquired will be 4, but 4 cancel cards. Obtaining this means that a cancellation card targeting relief has been obtained, and it becomes known at a relatively early stage that the relief effect will be executed. In order to prevent this from happening in the future, we allow the acquisition of cancellation cards "when the number of acquired cancellation cards is 0 to 2" as shown in Figure 8-17 (B), while we allow the acquisition of cancellation cards as shown in Figure 8-17 (C). When the number of cancellation cards acquired is 3, the acquisition of cancellation cards is limited (0%).

In addition, in the battle performance in the super reach (missing), since the rescue performance is not executed, the number of cancel cards that are acquired with targets other than pseudo-reach is 0 to 2. Therefore, there is no restriction because there will be no risk of tipping. In addition, in normal reach (missing, jackpot), there is no restriction because the battle performance itself is not performed.

In Figures 8-16 and 8-17, "Used or not" in the "Used or not, Acquired or not, Type, Acquisition timing, Number of acquisitions" column is the item (up card, cancel card) in the pseudo-association. Whether or not it is used. "Not used" in the column of determination contents indicates that the item is not used when executing the pseudo-association, and "Used" in the column of determination contents indicates that the item is used when executing the pseudo-association.

In Figures 8-16 and 8-17, "Acquired" in the "Used or not, Obtained or not, Type, Acquisition timing, Number of acquisitions" column indicates the applicable item when using the item when executing the pseudo-association. This is whether or not items are acquired (stocked). "Not acquired" in the decision content column indicates that the item to be used will not be acquired (stocked) when the usage status is "used", and "acquired" in the decision content column indicates whether the item will be used or not. indicates that the item to be used is acquired (stocked) when it is "used".

In Figures 8-16 and 8-17, "Type" in the "Used or not, Acquired or not, Type, Acquisition timing, Number of acquisitions" column indicates the applicable item when acquiring the item to be used when executing the pseudo-association. The type of item. "Up card" in the decision content column indicates that an up card will be obtained if the usage status is "used" and the acquisition status is "obtained", and the "cancellation card" in the decision content column indicates that a cancellation card is to be obtained when the presence or absence of use is "Used" and the presence or absence of acquisition is "Obtained".

In Figures 8-16 and 8-17, "Acquisition timing" in the "Used or not, Acquired or not, Type, Acquisition timing, Number of acquisitions" column indicates when the item to be used when executing the pseudo-association is acquired. This is the timing of the acquisition. "Immediately after the start of variation" in the column of decision details indicates that the acquisition will be made immediately after the start of variation when the presence/absence of use is "Used" and the presence/absence of acquisition is "Obtained." "Immediately" indicates that the item will be acquired immediately after reach, when the usage status is ``Used'' and the acquisition status is ``Obtained.''

In Figures 8-16 and 8-17, "Number of acquisitions" in the "Used or not, Acquired or not, Type, Timing of acquisition, Number of acquisitions" column indicates the number of items to be acquired when executing the pseudo-association. is the quantity of said acquisition. “1 card” in the decision content column indicates that one card (up card or cancellation card) will be acquired if the usage status is “used” and the acquisition status is “acquired”. There is.

In other words, in Figure 8-16 (A) (the same applies to Figures 8-16 (B) and Figures 8-17 (A) to 8-17 (C)), the determination item in the determination content column ("Not used") , "Used, not obtained", "Used, obtained, up card, immediately after fluctuation starts, 1 card", "Used, obtained, up card, immediately after reach, 1 card", "Used, obtained, , Cancellation card, Immediately after fluctuation start, 1 card", "Used, Obtained, Cancellation card, Immediately after reach, 1 card"), "Not used" means that neither up card nor cancellation card is used when executing pseudo-association. Indicates that it is not used. In other words, the item is not acquired (stocked) immediately after the start of fluctuation or right after the reach, and the item is not used when executing the pseudo-association, but simply indicates that the pseudo-association will be executed.
Note that the flow of FIG. 8-9 (A) → (B) → (C) → (D) → (E3) → (F3) is simply an example of the performance operation when a pseudo series is executed.

In addition, in super reach (Figure 8-17(A) to Figure 8-17(C)), there may be two pseudo-runs or three pseudo-runs (see Figure 8-3); In this case, the pseudo-association is simply executed without using the item for the first or second time. In the case of three pseudo-runs, the pseudo-run is simply executed without using any items for the first, second, or third time.

"Used, not acquired" indicates that the item is used when the pseudo-association is executed, but the item to be used is not acquired (stocked). In other words, it indicates that the item is used when executing the pseudo-association without acquiring (stocking) the item immediately after the start of fluctuation or immediately after reaching the reach. Note that the item used is an up card.

In addition, in super reach (Figure 8-17(A) to Figure 8-17(C)), there may be two pseudo-runs or three pseudo-runs (see Figure 8-3); In this case, the first time the pseudo-association is executed using the item (up card), and the second time the pseudo-association is simply executed without using the item. In the case of three pseudo-runs, the first time the pseudo-run is executed using an item (up card), and the second and third times the pseudo-run is simply executed without using the item.

"Used, acquired, up card, immediately after the start of fluctuation, 1 card" is related to the execution of the pseudo-association, and one up card is acquired (stocked) immediately after the start of the fluctuation, and when executing the pseudo-association, the corresponding Indicates that an up card is to be used.

In addition, in super reach (Figure 8-17(A) to Figure 8-17(C)), there may be two pseudo-runs or three pseudo-runs (see Figure 8-3); In this case, the first time the pseudo-link is executed using the stocked up cards, and the second time the pseudo-link is simply executed without using any items. In the case of three pseudo-runs, the first run is performed using a stocked up card, and the second and third runs are simply performed without using any items.

"Used, obtained, up card, immediately after reach, 1 card" is related to the execution of a pseudo-sequence, and one up card is acquired (stocked) immediately after reaching, and when executing the pseudo-sequence, the up card indicates that it will be used.

In addition, in the case of "used, obtained, up card, immediately after reaching, 1 card", as in the case of "used, obtained, up card, immediately after the start of fluctuation, 1 card", pseudo consecutive 2 times, In the case of 3 times, the first time the pseudo-association is executed using the stocked up card, and thereafter the pseudo-association is simply executed without using any items.

“Used, acquired, cancel card, immediately after the start of variation, 1 card” is related to the execution of the pseudo-association, and one cancel card is acquired (stocked) immediately after the start of the variation, and when executing the pseudo-association, the corresponding Indicates that a cancellation card will be used.

In addition, in super reach (Figure 8-17(A) to Figure 8-17(C)), there may be two pseudo-runs or three pseudo-runs (see Figure 8-3); In this case, the first time, the pseudo-link is executed using the stocked cancel card, and the second time, the pseudo-link is simply executed without using any items. In the case of three pseudo-sequences, the first pseudo-sequence is executed using the stocked cancel card, and the second and third pseudo-sequences are simply executed without using any items.

"Used, obtained, cancel card, immediately after reaching, 1 card" is related to the execution of a pseudo-association, and one cancel card is acquired (stocked) immediately after reaching, and when executing the pseudo-association, the cancellation card indicates that it is to be used.

In addition, in the case of "Used, obtained, cancel card, immediately after reach, 1 card", same as the case of "Used, obtained, cancel card, immediately after fluctuation start, 1 card", pseudo consecutive 2 times, In the case of three times, the first time the pseudo-association is executed using the stocked cancel card, and thereafter the pseudo-association is simply executed without using any items.

According to the example shown in FIG. 8-16(A), in the case of normal reach (loss) and pseudo-coupling, the determination items in the determination content column are determined at the ratio shown in the table. According to the example shown in FIG. 8-16(B), in the case of normal reach (jackpot) and pseudo-continuation, the decision items in the decision content column are decided at the ratio shown in the table. According to the example shown in FIG. 8-17(A), in the case of super reach (missing) or pseudo-coupling, the determination items in the determination content column are determined at the ratio shown in the table. According to the example shown in Figure 8-17 (B), if there is a super reach (jackpot), pseudo-continuation, and the number of canceled cards obtained is 0 to 2, the decision item in the decision content column is displayed. Determined according to the ratio shown in According to the example shown in Figure 8-17 (C), if there is a super reach (jackpot), pseudo-continuation, and the number of cancel cards acquired is 3, the decision items in the decision details column are shown in the table. Determine by percentage.

According to the examples shown in FIGS. 8-16 and 17, when executing a pseudo-association, an up card or a cancel card may be used. Furthermore, neither the up card nor the cancel card may be used when executing a pseudo-association. As an example, in the case of the example shown in Figure 8-16 (A) (in the case of normal reach (miss)), when executing a pseudo-sequence, the percentage of up cards used when executing a pseudo-sequence is 85%. , the rate at which the cancel card is used is 10%, and the rate at which neither the up card nor the cancel card is used is 5%.

Furthermore, there are cases in which items (up cards, cancel cards) used when executing a pseudo-association are acquired (stocked), and cases in which they are not acquired (in cases where they are used without being acquired). As an example, in the case of the example shown in Figure 8-16 (A) (in the case of normal reach (miss)), when using an item (up card, cancel card) when executing a pseudo-connection, the item is The rate of acquiring the item is approximately 87% (83/95), and the rate of not acquiring the item is approximately 13% (12/95).

Also, when acquiring an item (up card, cancel card) to be used when executing a pseudo-link, if you acquire the item (up card, cancel card) immediately after the fluctuation starts, you will also acquire it immediately after reach. In some cases. As an example, in the case of the example shown in Figure 8-16 (A) (in the case of normal reach), when obtaining the items (up card, cancel card) used when executing a pseudo-association, the fluctuation The rate of acquisition immediately after the start is approximately 34% (28/83), and the rate of acquisition immediately after reach is approximately 66% (55/83).

FIGS. 8-18 and 8-19 are explanatory diagrams illustrating various timings. Specifically, FIGS. 8-18(A) and 8-18(B) are explanatory diagrams illustrating the execution timing of various effects in the variable display of super reach (missing). FIG. 8-18(B) is a continuation of FIG. 8-18(A).

In FIG. 8-18(A), T0 is the start timing of variable display. T1 is the timing of acquiring an item (up card, cancel card) in the case (stock) when acquiring the item (up card, cancel card) "immediately after the start of fluctuation (see FIGS. 8-14 to 8-17)". Since the acquired item is displayed, T1 is also the timing of displaying the item when the item is acquired "immediately after the start of fluctuation." T2 is the timing of reach. T3 is the timing of acquiring the item in the case of acquiring the item "immediately after reach (see FIGS. 8-14 to 8-17)" (stock). Since the acquired item is displayed, T3 is also the timing of displaying the item when the item is acquired "immediately after reaching".

T4 is the timing at which symbols other than pseudo-continuous symbols (normal symbols, non-pseudo-continuous symbols) temporarily stop when a pseudo-continuous notice performance using items is performed. When performing a pseudo-recurring announcement using an item, in order to temporarily stop the pseudo-recurring pattern by using the item, the normal pattern is stopped before using the item (Figure 8-9 (F1), (See Figure 8-10).

T5 to T6 are activation effects (effects that display activation image 011SHHD1 and activation image 011SHHD2) that suggest that the item will be activated (used) when a pseudo-continuation announcement effect using the item is performed. Figure 8-10 (G4), see Figure 8-10 (G5)). When performing a pseudo-sequential notice effect using an item, the activation effect is executed before using the item. Incidentally, FIG. 8-10 (G4) is a display example during the execution period of the activation performance when a pseudo-continuation preview performance using an up card is performed. FIG. 8-10 (G5) is a display example during the execution period of the activation performance when a pseudo consecutive announcement performance using a cancel card is performed.

T7 to T8 are the period of use of the item when a pseudo-continuation notice effect using the item is performed. Note that FIG. 8-10 (H4) and FIG. 8-10 (I4) are display examples during the usage period of the up card when a pseudo continuous notice effect using the up card is performed. Further, FIGS. 8-10 (H5) and 8-10 (I5) are display examples during the period of use of the cancel card when a pseudo consecutive announcement effect using the cancel card is performed.

T9 is the timing at which a change (movement, destruction, etc.) of symbols other than the pseudo-continuation pattern starts when a pseudo-continuation notice performance using an item is performed. In other words, this is the timing at which the item used at T7 to T8 acts on a symbol other than the pseudo-continuous symbol temporarily stopped and displayed at T4, and the symbol begins to change (move, destroy, etc.). Note that FIG. 8-10 (J4) is a display example when the up card acts on a symbol "6" other than the pseudo-continuous symbol and the symbol "6" is moving. FIG. 8-10 (J5) is a display example when the cancel card acts on the symbol "6" other than the pseudo-continuous symbol and the symbol "6" is destroyed.

T10 is the timing at which the pseudo-continuous symbols temporarily stop when a pseudo-continuous notice performance is performed. In other words, this is the timing at which the first pseudo-continuation symbol in the pseudo-continuation (one pseudo-continuation, two pseudo-continuations, three pseudo-continuations) temporarily stops. Note that FIG. 8-10 (L4) is a display example when the symbol "6", which is a symbol other than the pseudo-continuous symbol, moves due to the action of the up card and the pseudo-continuous symbol temporarily stops. FIG. 8-10 (L5) is a display example when the symbol "6" which is a symbol other than the pseudo-continuous symbol is destroyed by the action of the cancel card and the pseudo-continuous symbol is temporarily stopped.

T11 is the timing at which the re-variable display starts when a pseudo continuous preview effect is performed. In other words, this is the timing to variably display the pseudo-continuous symbols again after the first temporary stop in the pseudo-continuous series (1 pseudo-continuous, 2 pseudo-continuous, 3 pseudo-continuous).

T12 is the timing at which the pseudo-continuous symbols temporarily stop when a pseudo-continuous notice performance is performed. In other words, this is the timing at which the second pseudo-continuation pattern in the pseudo-continuation (two pseudo-continuations, three pseudo-continuations) temporarily stops. T13 is the timing at which the re-variable display starts when the pseudo continuous notice effect is performed. In other words, this is the timing for variable display again after the second temporary stop of the pseudo-continuation pattern in the pseudo-continuation (two pseudo-continuations, three pseudo-continuations).

T14 is the timing at which the pseudo-continuous symbols temporarily stop when a pseudo-continuous notice performance is performed. In other words, this is the timing at which the third pseudo-continuation pattern in the pseudo-continuation (three pseudo-continuations) is temporarily stopped. T15 is the timing at which the re-variable display starts when the pseudo continuous preview effect is performed. In other words, this is the timing for variable display again after the third temporary stop of the pseudo-continuation pattern in the pseudo-continuation (3 pseudo-continuations). T16 is the timing when it develops into a super reach.

T17 is the timing to start displaying the weak battle title (weak title). That is, T17 is the timing to start displaying the weak title when a weak battle is executed, or when a medium battle or a strong battle is executed and the weak title is to be displayed.

T18 to T19 are activation effects (effects that display activation image 011SHHD1 and activation image 011SHHD2) that suggest that the item will be activated (used) when a battle is going on using the item (weak battle → medium battle). (See Figures 8-12 (B3) and 8-12 (B4)). When performing a battle upstart (weak battle → medium battle) using an item, an activation effect is performed before using the item. Note that FIG. 8-12 (B3) is a display example during the execution period of the activation performance when a battle build-up using up cards is performed. FIG. 8-12 (B4) is a display example during the execution period of the activation performance when a battle build-up using a cancel card is performed.

T20 to T21 is the period of use of the item when a battle (weak battle→medium battle) using the item is carried out. Note that FIG. 8-12 (C3) and FIG. 8-12 (D3) are display examples of the up card use period when a battle build-up (weak battle→medium battle) using up cards is performed. Further, FIGS. 8-12 (C4) and 8-12 (D4) are display examples of the use period of the cancel card when a battle build-up (weak battle→medium battle) using the cancel card is performed.

T22 is the timing at which a change in the weak title starts when a battle build-up (weak battle→medium battle) using items is performed. In other words, this is the timing at which the item used at T20 to T21 acts on the weak title displayed at T17, and the weak title starts to change. Note that FIG. 8-12 (E3) is a display example when the up card acts on a weak title and the weak title changes to a weak medium title. FIG. 8-12 (E4) is a display example when the cancel card acts on a weak title and the weak title is destroyed.

T23 is the timing to start displaying the medium battle title (medium title). That is, T23 is the timing to start displaying the medium title when a medium battle is executed or a strong battle is executed and the medium title is to be displayed.

T24 to T25 is an execution period of an activation effect that suggests that an item will be activated (used) when a battle build-up (medium battle → strong battle) using an item is performed. When performing a battle upstart (medium battle → strong battle) using items,
Execute the activation effect before using the item. T26 to T27 is the usage period of the item when a battle build-up (medium battle→strong battle) using the item is performed. T28 is the timing at which the medium title changes when a battle build-up (medium battle→strong battle) using items is performed. In other words, this is the timing at which the item used at T26 to T27 acts on the middle title displayed at T23, and the middle title starts changing.

T29 is the timing to start displaying the title of the strong battle (strong title). That is, T29 is the timing to start displaying the strong title when a strong battle is executed. T30 is the timing to start executing the battle performance. T31 to T32 are the operation period of the accessory (movable body 011SH32). T41 is the timing to start displaying the result of the battle performance (defeat). T42 is the timing to end the execution of the battle performance. T43 is the end timing of variable display.

FIGS. 8-18(A) and 8-19(A) are explanatory diagrams illustrating the execution timing of various performances in a variable display (no relief performance) that becomes a super reach (jackpot). FIG. 8-19(A) is a continuation of FIG. 8-18(A).

As shown in Figure 8-18 (B) and Figure 8-19 (A), there is a variable display that indicates super reach (miss), and a variable display that indicates super reach (jackpot) (no relief effect). The display means that in the variable display that is a super reach (miss), defeat is displayed as the result of the battle effect and a losing symbol is displayed (T41, T42 in Figure 8-18 (B)), whereas the super reach The difference is that in the variable display (no relief effect) that results in a jackpot, a victory is displayed as the result of the battle effect, and a jackpot symbol is displayed (T41, T42 in FIG. 8-19(A)).

FIGS. 8-18(A) and 8-19(B) are explanatory diagrams illustrating the execution timing of various effects in the variable display (with relief effect) that becomes a super reach (jackpot). FIG. 8-19(B) is a continuation of FIG. 8-18(A).

As shown in Figure 8-19 (A) and Figure 8-19 (B), there is a variable display that is a super reach (jackpot) (no relief effect), and a variable display that is a super reach (jackpot). The variable display that is displayed (with relief effect) differs from T33 to T40 in the presence or absence of display, effect, etc. In FIG. 8-19(B), T33 is the timing to start displaying the result of the battle performance (defeat) when relief is performed using an item (specifically, a cancel card).

T34 to T35 are the execution of an activation effect (effect that displays activation image 011SHHD2, see Figure 8-13 (B2)) that suggests that the item will be activated (used) when relief using the item is performed. It is a period. Note that FIG. 8-13 (B2) is an example of a display during the execution period of the activation performance when relief is performed using a cancel card. T36 to T37 are the period of use of the item when relief is performed using the item. Note that FIG. 8-13 (C2) and FIG. 8-13 (D2) are display examples of the use period of the cancel card when relief is performed using the cancel card.

T38 is the timing at which the display of the battle performance result (defeat) starts to change when relief using items is performed. That is, this is the timing at which the items used at T36 to T37 act on the display result (defeat) displayed at T33, and the display result (defeat) starts to change. Note that FIG. 8-13 (E2) is a display example when the cancel card acts on the displayed result (defeat) and the displayed result (defeat) is destroyed. T39 to T40 is an execution period of a relief performance when relief using an item is performed. Incidentally, FIG. 8-13 (F2) is a display example during the execution period of the relief performance when relief is performed using a cancel card.

Note that the result display (defeat) at T41 in Figure 8-18(B) and the result display (defeat) at T33 in Figure 8-19(B) are designed so that the player cannot easily distinguish between them, at least for items other than items. It is preferable to In other words, when the result display (defeat) of a battle performance is displayed, the player can decide whether the result display (defeat) is in a variable display that is super reach (loss) or super reach (jackpot). ) It would be a shame if we were to determine whether the result display (defeat) in the variable display (with rescue effects) is based on the presence or absence of items, etc., but it would be interesting if we could determine it based on something other than the item. It is preferable to make them so that they cannot be easily distinguished.

For example, the time (T0 to T41) until the result display (defeat) in the variable display that becomes super reach (miss), and the result display (defeat) in the variable display that becomes super reach (jackpot) (with relief effect). ) may be made so that the difference with the time (T0 to T33) is not very noticeable. As an example, in the case of a weak battle super reach with a special figure fluctuation time of 130 seconds, in the case of fluctuation pattern #13 (weak battle (miss)) and battle production pattern "BP-J-L1", fluctuation starts The result (defeat) will be displayed 125 seconds after the start of the fluctuation, and in the battle production pattern "BP-J-W3" with fluctuation pattern #18 (weak battle (jackpot)) and relief, the result will be displayed (defeat) 115 seconds after the start of fluctuation. ) may be displayed. In addition, in the case of a medium battle super reach where the special figure fluctuation time is 140 seconds, in the case of fluctuation pattern #14 (medium battle (miss)) and battle production pattern "BP-T-L1", from the start of fluctuation The result (defeat) will be displayed after 135 seconds, and in the variation pattern #19 (weak battle (jackpot)) and the battle performance pattern "BP-J-W5" with relief, the result will be displayed (defeat) 125 seconds after the start of variation. may be displayed. In addition, in the case of a strong battle super reach where the special figure fluctuation time is 150 seconds, in the case of fluctuation pattern #15 (strong battle (miss)) and battle production pattern "BP-K-L1", from the start of fluctuation The result (defeat) is displayed after 145 seconds, and in the variation pattern #20 (weak battle (jackpot)) and the battle production pattern "BP-J-W7" with relief, the result is displayed (defeat) 135 seconds after the start of variation. may be displayed.

8-20 and 8-21 are specific examples of various timings. In Figure 8-20, "variation pattern #14" is determined as the fluctuation pattern (see Figure 8-2 (B)), and pseudo-coupling (one pseudo-coupling) is determined for the pseudo-coupling (see Figure 8-3). ), "BP-T-L3 (weak title → medium title → medium battle start → battle (defeat))" is determined as the battle production pattern (see Figure 8-4 (C) and Figure 8-7 (B)). ), we decided on "Used, Obtained, Cancel card, Immediately after the start of fluctuation, 1 card" as items that target the upstart of a battle (see Figure 8-15 (A)), and items that target pseudo-relationships. It shows various timings when "used, acquired, up card, immediately after fluctuation starts, 1 card" is determined (see FIG. 8-17(A)). Note that the transition is from FIG. 8-20(A) to FIG. 8-20(B). Furthermore, in the explanation of FIG. 8-20, some or all of the contents explained in FIGS. 8-18 and 8-19 will be omitted.

In FIG. 8-20(A), T1 is the timing at which one up card targeting a pseudo link and one cancel card targeting a battle upstart are acquired (displayed). In FIG. 8-20(A), T5 to T6 is an execution period of an activation effect that suggests that an up card will be activated (used). T7 to T8 is the usage period of the up card. In T9, the up card acts on a symbol other than the pseudo-continuous symbol, and the symbol changes (
This is the timing when movement) starts. In FIG. 8-20(B), T18 to T19 is an execution period of an activation effect that suggests that a cancel card will be activated (used). T20 to T21 is the usage period of the cancellation card. T22 is the timing when the cancel card acts on the weak title and the change (destruction) of the weak title starts.

In Figure 8-21, "variation pattern #20" is determined as the fluctuation pattern (see Figure 8-2 (B)), and pseudo-continuity (3 times pseudo-continuity) is determined for the pseudo-connection (see Figure 8-3). ), and the battle production pattern is determined to be "BP-K-W8 (Medium title → Strong title → Strong battle start → Actual object movement → Battle (defeat) → Relief (win))" (Figure 8-5 (B ), see Figure 8-7 (C)), and decide on "Used, Obtained, Cancel card, Immediately after fluctuation starts, 1 card" as items targeting relief (see Figure 8-14), and as the battle progresses. ``Used, not acquired'' is determined as an item etc. targeting pseudo-association (see Figure 8-15 (B)), and ``Used, acquired, up card, immediately after reaching, 8-17(B)). Note that the transition is from FIG. 8-21(A) to FIG. 8-21(B). Furthermore, in the explanation of FIG. 8-21, some or all of the contents explained in FIGS. 8-18 and 8-19 will be omitted.

In FIG. 8-21(A), T1 is the timing at which one cancellation card targeting relief is acquired (displayed). T3 is the timing at which one up card targeting pseudo-connection is acquired (displayed). In FIG. 8-21(A), T5 to T6 is an execution period of an activation effect that suggests that an up card will be activated (used). T7 to T8 is the usage period of the up card. T9 is the timing when the up card acts on a symbol other than the pseudo-continuous symbol and the symbol starts to change (move).

In FIG. 8-21(B), T24 to T25 is an execution period of an activation effect that suggests that an up card will be activated (used). T26 to T27 is the usage period of the up card. Note that this up card is not stocked. In FIG. 8-21(B), T34 to T35 is an execution period of an activation effect that suggests that a cancel card will be activated (used). T36 to T37 are the usage period of the cancellation card. T38 is the timing at which the cancel card acts on the result display (miss) and the change (destruction) of the result display (miss) starts.

FIGS. 8-22 and 8-23 are flowcharts showing an example of the performance determining process executed in the variable display start setting process of S171 in the performance control process shown in FIG. Note that the flowchart in FIG. 8-23 is a continuation of the flowchart in FIG. 8-22.

In the production determination process shown in FIG. 8-22, the production control CPU 120 determines whether the variation pattern is a non-reach (variation pattern #10, #11) or a small hit (variation pattern #16) (step 011SHS100). If it is determined that the variation pattern is non-reach or small hit (step 011SHS100; YES), this flowchart ends. If it is determined that it is not a reach or a small hit (step 011SHS100; NO), the performance control CPU 120 determines whether the fluctuation pattern is a super reach (variation patterns #13 to #15, #18 to #20). (Step 011SH101).

In step 011SH101, if it is determined that the variation pattern is not super reach (step 011SHS101; NO), that is, if it is determined that the variation pattern is normal reach (variation patterns #12, #17), the production control CPU 120 The presence or absence of the pseudo continuous sequence is determined (step 011SHS102). Specifically, the performance control CPU 120 determines the ratio shown in FIG. 8-3. Subsequently, the production control CPU 120 sets the determination details (presence or absence of pseudo-run, number of pseudo-runs) (step 011SHS103).

Following step 011SHS103, the performance control CPU 120 determines whether or not there is a pseudo series (step 011SHS104). That is, it is determined whether pseudo-coupling is determined in step 011SHS102. When it is determined that there is no pseudo-sequence (step 011SHS104; NO), that is, when it is determined that there is no pseudo-sequence, this flowchart ends.

In step 011SH104, if it is determined that there is a pseudo-connection (step 011SHS104; YES), the effect control CPU 120 determines the presence or absence of an item targeting the pseudo-connection based on the fluctuation pattern (step 011SHS105). Specifically, when the variation pattern is normal reach (missing) (variation pattern #12), the performance control CPU 120 determines the ratio shown in FIG. 8-16(A). Further, when the variation pattern is normal reach (jackpot) (variation pattern #17), the effect control CPU 120 determines the ratio shown in FIG. 8-16(B). Subsequently, the performance control CPU 120 sets the determination details (presence or absence of an item targeting the pseudo-connection, etc.) (Step 011SHS106). Then, this flowchart ends.

In step 011SH101, if it is determined that the fluctuation pattern is super reach (step 011SHS101; YES), the performance control CPU 120 determines the presence or absence of a pseudo-run and the number of pseudo-runs based on the fluctuation pattern (Figure 8-23 step 011SHS110). Specifically, when the variation pattern is super reach (weak battle) (variation patterns #13, #18), the performance control CPU 120 determines the proportions shown in FIG. 8-3. In addition, when the variation pattern is super reach (medium battle) (variation pattern #14, #19), the performance control CPU 120 determines the ratio shown in FIG. 8-3. In addition, when the variation pattern is super reach (strong battle) (variation patterns #15, #20), the performance control CPU 120 determines the proportions shown in FIG. 8-3. Subsequently, the performance control CPU 120 sets the determination contents (presence or absence of pseudo-run, number of pseudo-runs) (step 011SHS111).

Following step 011SHS111, the performance control CPU 120 determines a battle performance pattern (see FIGS. 8-4 and 8-5) based on the variation pattern (step 011SHS112). Specifically, when the variation pattern is super reach (weak battle) out (variation pattern #13), the performance control CPU 120 determines the ratio shown in FIG. 8-7(A). Further, when the variation pattern is a super reach (weak battle) jackpot (variation pattern #18), the performance control CPU 120 determines the ratio shown in FIG. 8-7(A). In addition, when the variation pattern is super reach (medium battle) out (variation pattern #14), the performance control CPU 120 determines the ratio shown in FIG. 8-7(B). In addition, when the variation pattern is a super reach (medium battle) jackpot (variation pattern #19), the performance control CPU 120 determines the ratio shown in FIG. 8-7(B). In addition, when the variation pattern is super reach (strong battle) out (variation pattern #15), the performance control CPU 120 determines the ratio shown in FIG. 8-7(C). Further, when the variation pattern is a super reach (strong battle) jackpot (variation pattern #20), the performance control CPU 120 determines the ratio shown in FIG. 8-7(C).

Following step 011SHS112, the performance control CPU 120 sets the determined content (battle performance pattern) (step 011SHS113).

Following step 011SHS113, the performance control CPU 120 determines that the battle performance pattern determined in step 011SHS112 is a battle performance pattern including relief (a battle performance pattern including "relief (win)" in FIGS. 8-4 and 8-5). ) (Step 011SHS114). In other words, in step 011SHS112, it is determined whether a battle effect pattern for executing a relief effect has been determined. Of the battle performance patterns shown in Figures 8-4 and 8-5, two of the battle performance patterns "BP-J-W3" and "BP-J-W4" shown in Figure 8-4(B), There are four battle performance patterns "BP-T-W5" to "BP-T-W8" in Figure 8-4(D), and battle performance patterns "BP-K-W7" to "BP-K-W7" in Figure 8-5(B). BP-K-W12'' are battle production patterns that include relief.

If it is determined in step 011SHS114 that the battle effect pattern includes relief (step 011SHS114; YES), the effect control CPU 120 determines the presence or absence of an item targeting relief (step 011SHS115). Specifically, the performance control CPU 120 determines the ratio shown in FIG. 8-14. Subsequently, the production control CPU 120 sets the determination details (presence or absence of an item targeted for relief, etc.) (Step 011SHS116).

On the other hand, if it is determined in step 011SHS114 that the battle effect pattern does not include relief (step 011SHS114; NO), the process proceeds to step 011SHS117 without executing the processes of step 011SHS115 and step 011SHS116.

Following step 011SHS114 (NO) or step 011SHS116, the performance control CPU 120 determines that the battle performance pattern determined in step 011SHS112 is a battle performance pattern including a battle build-up ("weak title → A battle effect pattern including at least one of "medium title" and "medium title→strong title" is determined (step 011SHS117). In other words, in step 011SHS112, it is determined whether a battle effect pattern for executing a battle upstart has been determined.

If it is determined in step 011SHS117 that the battle performance pattern includes a battle upstart (step 011SHS117; YES), the performance control CPU 120 determines the battle performance pattern (number of battle upstarts) and the item (cancellation card) targeting relief. The presence/absence of an item targeting a battle upstart is determined based on (presence/presence) (step 011SHS118). Specifically, the performance control CPU 120 determines the ratio shown in FIG. 8-15(A) when the number of battles is 1 and no items targeted for relief have been acquired. In addition, the performance control CPU 120 determines the ratio shown in FIG. 8-15(B) when the number of battle uprisings is 1 and an item targeted for rescue has been acquired. In addition, when the number of battle uprisings is 2 and no item targeted for rescue has been acquired, the performance control CPU 120 determines the ratio shown in FIG. 8-15(C). In addition, the performance control CPU 120 determines the ratio shown in FIG. 8-15 (D) when the number of battle upswings is 2 and an item targeted for rescue has been acquired. Subsequently, the performance control CPU 120 sets the determination details (presence or absence of an item targeting the battle upstart, etc.) (Step 011SHS119).

On the other hand, if it is determined in step 011SHS117 that the battle effect pattern does not include a battle build-up (step 011SHS117; NO), the process proceeds to step 011SHS124 without executing the processes of steps 011SHS118 and 011SHS119.

Following step 011SHS117 (NO) or step 011SHS119, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether there is a pseudo series (step 011SHS124).
That is, it is determined whether pseudo-coupling is determined in step 011SHS110. When it is determined that there is no pseudo-sequence (step 011SHS124; NO), that is, when it is determined that there is no pseudo-sequence, this flowchart ends.

In step 011SH124, if it is determined that there is a pseudo-link (step 011SHS124; YES), the performance control CPU 120 determines the variation pattern and the number of cancel cards (in determining the presence or absence of items targeting relief in step 011SHS115). Based on the number of cancel cards obtained and the total number of cancel cards obtained in the determination of the presence or absence of items targeting the battle upstart in step 011SHS118, the presence or absence of items targeting pseudo-ren is determined (step 011SHS125). Specifically, the performance control CPU 120 determines the ratio shown in FIG. 8-17(A) in the case of super reach (loss) (variation patterns #13, #14, #15). In addition, in the case of a super reach (miss), there is no relief, and the number of canceled cards obtained will not be 3. Therefore, as in the case of a super reach (jackpot), the number of canceled cards obtained will be 0 to 2. There is no distinction between the case where the number of cancellation cards and the case where the number of cancellation cards obtained is three. In addition, in the case of super reach (big hit) (fluctuation patterns #18, #19, #20), and when the number of acquired cancel cards is 0 to 2, the performance control CPU 120 (see FIG. 8-17) Determine the ratio shown in B). In addition, in the case of super reach (big hit) (variation patterns #18, #19, #20) and the number of cancel cards acquired is 3, the performance control CPU 120 performs the process as shown in FIG. 8-17 (C). Determined according to the ratio shown in Subsequently, the production control CPU 120 sets the determination details (presence or absence of an item targeting the pseudo-connection, etc.) (Step 011SHS126). Then, this flowchart ends.

Although illustrations are omitted, even if the item used without stock and the item in stock are of the same type (up card), the item in stock (up card) There is no change. In other words, the up card in stock is not consumed, but the up card is used. The emergency activation message 011SHEMA shown in Figures 8-31 (C) to 8-33 (E) is to notify the use of items that are used without stock, but there are When the items are of the same type (up card), it also notifies that the item (up card) in stock is not consumed.

(Regarding the modification regarding the gaming machine related to the characteristic part 011SH)
Next, a modification of the gaming machine related to the feature section 011SH will be described.

(Modification example 1 of characteristic part 011SH)
In the above example, in the "determination ratio of the presence or absence of items targeting pseudo-links", the determination ratio of "not used" is the same (5%) in both normal reach (miss) and normal reach (jackpot). (FIG. 8-16), the determination ratio of "no use" may be higher in the case of normal reach (jackpot) than in the case of normal reach (miss). Similarly, in the above example, the decision ratio of "no use" is the same (6%) in the case of super reach (miss) and super reach (jackpot) (Figure 8-17). , the determination ratio of "not used" may be higher in the case of a super reach (jackpot) than in the case of a super reach (miss).

(Modification example 2 of characteristic part 011SH)
In the above example, in the "decision ratio of the presence/absence of items targeting pseudo-links", the determination ratio of "Used, not acquired" is higher in the case of normal reach (jackpot) than in the case of normal reach (miss). (FIG. 8-16), the determination ratio of "no use" may be the same for both normal reach (miss) and normal reach (jackpot). Similarly, the above example explains an example in which the decision ratio of "Used, not acquired" is higher in the case of super reach (jackpot) than in the case of super reach (miss) (Figure 8-17). , the determination ratio of "used, not acquired" may be the same in both the case of super reach (miss) and the case of super reach (jackpot).

(Modification example 3 of characteristic part 011SH)
In the above example, the activation image 011SHHD1 that suggests the activation of the up card is displayed before the activation (use) of the up card, and the activation image 011SHHD2 that suggests the activation of the cancel card is displayed before the activation of the cancel card (i.e. , an example of performing different activation effects depending on the item to be activated) has been described, but a common activation effect may be performed regardless of the item to be activated. In other words, the type of item to be activated may not be specified depending on the performance mode of the activation performance.

(Modification example 4 of characteristic part 011SH)
In the above, an example was explained in which the activation image 011SHHD1 that suggests that an up card is activated is always displayed when the activation image 011SHHD1 is displayed (Figure 8-24 (G) → 8-24 (H), Figure 8-28 (H) → Figure 8-29 (A), Figure 8-31 (A) → Figure 8-31 (B)), and whether the activation image 011SHHD1 is displayed. There may be cases where the activation image 011SHHD1 is not displayed after the activation image 011SHHD1 is displayed (false provocation). In other words, even when the activation image 011SHHD1 is not displayed (in the case of a false image), whether or not the activation image 011SHHD1 is displayed may be promoted. Similarly, in the above example, the activation image 011SHHD2 is always displayed when the activation image 011SHHD2 suggesting that a cancel card is activated is displayed (Figure 8-26 (B ) → Figure 8-26 (C), Figure 8-32 (E) → Figure 8-32 (F)), If the activation image 011SHHD2 is not displayed after inciting whether or not the activation image 011SHHD2 is displayed (false provocation) ) may be present. In other words, even when the activation image 011SHHD2 is not displayed (in the case of a false image), whether or not the activation image 011SHHD2 is displayed may be promoted.

(Modification example 5 of characteristic part 011SH)
In the above, an example was explained in which the activation effect is executed even when using an item that has not been acquired (stocked) (T24 to T27 in Figure 8-21 (B), Figure 8-31 (A) ~ (See FIG. 8-31(E)), when using an item that has not been acquired (stocked), the activation effect may not be executed.

(Variation example 6 of characteristic part 011SH)
In the above, regardless of whether the target is pseudo-continuation (1 pseudo-continuation) to pseudo-continuation (3 pseudo-continuations), both up cards and cancel cards can be obtained as items used as targets. Although an example has been described, the items that can be obtained may differ depending on the number of pseudo-relationships. For example, if you target a pseudo sequence (1 pseudo sequence), only the up card can be obtained, and if you target a pseudo sequence (2 pseudo sequences) or a pseudo sequence (3 pseudo sequences). In this case, both the up card and the cancel card may be obtained (in other words, if the cancel card is used targeting a pseudo-sequence, two or more pseudo-sequences may be determined).

(Modification example 7 of characteristic part 011SH)
In the above, when using an up card with a pseudo link as a target, the up card may or may not be acquired (stocked), while when using a cancel card with a pseudo link as a target, the cancel card may be acquired (stocked) or not. We have explained an example in which items are always obtained (stocked) (in other words, items that are used without stock with a pseudo-relation as a target are always up cards) (see Figures 8-16 and 8-17). Instead of or in addition to the card, a cancel card may be used without stock, targeting pseudo-links. Further, the reliability of the jackpot may be different depending on whether an up card is used with no stock as a target for a pseudo series or when a cancel card is used with no stock as a target on a pseudo series.

(Modification example 8 of characteristic part 011SH)
In the above, when using an item with a pseudo-run as a target, whether it is a pseudo-run (two pseudo-runs) or a pseudo-run (three pseudo-runs), We explained an example of using the item in the first pseudo-sequence (when the first pseudo-sequence symbol "re" stops), as in the case of (for example, Fig. 8-18 (A)). , the timing to use the item does not have to be the first time in the pseudo-sequence. For example, in the case of a pseudo-sequence (two pseudo-sequences), the item may not be used for the first pseudo-sequence, but the item may be used for the second pseudo-sequence. Furthermore, in the case of a pseudo series (three pseudo series), the item may not be used in the first pseudo series, but the item may be used in the second pseudo series (or the third pseudo series). Further, the reliability of a jackpot may be made to differ depending on at which timing the item is used.

(Modification example 9 of characteristic part 011SH)
In the above example, when using an item with a pseudo-coupling as a target, the item is used once regardless of whether it is a pseudo-coupling (1 pseudo-coupling) to a pseudo-coupling (3 pseudo-couplings). As explained (see Figure 8-18 (A)), in the case of pseudo-coupling (pseudo-coupling twice), an item may be used twice (the first pseudo-coupling and the second pseudo-coupling). . In addition, in the case of pseudo-sequence (3 pseudo-sequences), the item may be used 3 times (from the 1st pseudo-sequence to the 3rd pseudo-sequence) or twice (from the 1st pseudo-sequence to the 3rd pseudo-sequence). (2 out of 3 consecutive times) may be used. Furthermore, the reliability of a jackpot may be set to vary depending on how many times an item is used. You may.

(Modification example 10 of characteristic part 011SH)
In the above, when using an up card targeting a battle upstart, the up card may or may not be acquired (stocked), while when using a cancel card targeting a battle upstart, the cancel card may be acquired (stocked) or not. We have explained an example in which items are always acquired (stocked) (in other words, an item used without stock targeting a battle upstart is always an up card) (see Figure 8-15), but instead of an up card or In addition, the cancel card may be used without stock, targeting the upstart of the battle. Furthermore, the reliability of the jackpot may be made different depending on whether an up card is used without a stock to target the build-up of a battle, or a case where a cancel card is used without a stock to target the build-up of a battle.

(Modification example 11 of characteristic part 011SH)
In the above example, whether one up card is used to target a battle upstart or one cancel card is used to target a battle upstart, the degree of uptick is the same (in both cases, "weak title → medium title" or We explained an example in which there is a level of ``medium title → strong title'' (see Figure 8-18 (B)), but the extent to which it rises is different depending on when an up card is used and when a cancel card is used. You can also let For example, as a battle production pattern for a strong battle, in addition to a battle production pattern that includes 1 stage of "weak title → medium title" or "medium title → strong title", a battle production pattern that includes 2 stages of "weak title → strong title" For example, if an up card is used while a weak title is displayed, the weak title will always become a medium title, but if a cancel card is used while a weak title is displayed. In some cases, a weak title may become a medium title, and a weak title may become a strong title (in addition, if a cancel card is used while a weak title is displayed, (It is also possible to have a weak title become a strong title.)

(Modification example 12 of characteristic part 011SH)
In the above, an example of executing the battle upstart before the start of the battle (example of updating the battle title) was explained (for example, see Figure 8-18 (A)). Upstart may be performed after the battle begins. For example, a weak battle may progress to a medium battle in the middle. For example, in the middle of a weak battle with character A, the opponent may change to character B, who is in a medium battle.

(Modification example 13 of characteristic part 011SH)
In the above, a limit is set on the number of cancellation cards that can be acquired (number in stock), but there may be no limit set. In other words, when you acquire a cancel card (1 card) targeting relief and 2 cancel cards targeting a battle upstart, you can target a cancellation card (1 card) targeting the 4th pseudo-relationship. (see FIG. 8-17(C)), the restriction may not be set. Furthermore, even if there is no limit to the number of cancel cards that can be obtained, the number of cancel cards that can be obtained will be 4 depending on the execution rate of relief effects, the determination rate of the presence or absence of items targeting pseudo-relationships, etc. There aren't many.

(Modification example 14 of characteristic part 011SH)
In the above example, the effect (movement) caused by the use of the item is not an effect unique to the use of the item (dedicated effect by the use of the item) (the use of the item causes a pseudo-sequence preview effect, a battle uprising, or a relief effect). However, we have explained that pseudo-sequence previews, battle build-up, and relief effects are performed even when no items are used (see Figures 8-9, 8-11, and 8-13). It may also be possible to have a dedicated function. As an example, the relief effect may be a dedicated effect by using an item. Specifically, in the determination ratio of the presence or absence of items targeted for relief (FIG. 8-14), the determination ratio of "not used" may be set to 0%. Alternatively, a dedicated effect may be provided by acquiring (stocking) and then using the item. As an example, the rescue effect may be a dedicated effect by acquiring and using an item. Specifically, in the determination ratio of the presence or absence of items targeted for relief (FIG. 8-14), the determination ratios of "not used" and "used, not acquired" may both be set to 0%.

(Modification example 15 of characteristic part 011SH)
In the above, when acquiring (stocking) an item, an example was explained in which it is simply displayed immediately after the fluctuation starts or immediately after reaching the reach (for example, Fig. 8-24 (B), Fig. 8-28 (B), Fig. 8-28 (D
)), a presentation (item acquisition presentation) may be performed when acquiring an item. For example, the item acquisition performance includes options such as "up card x 1,""up card x 2,""up card x 1, cancel card x 1," and "...(missed)" (the display content is the result of the item acquisition judgment). A roulette effect using a roulette with a roulette wheel (changed as appropriate depending on the (changed appropriately depending on the determination result of item acquisition) may be repeated button presses to destroy the item. It is possible to execute any one of multiple types of item acquisition performances, and depending on the type of item acquisition performance to be executed, the expectation level (proportion of acquiring one or more items, specific item (for example, cancel The rate at which a card) can be obtained may be different.

(Modification example 16 of characteristic part 011SH)
In the above example, the item acquisition (stock) timing is immediately after the start of fluctuation and immediately after reach (for example, see FIG. 8-18(A)), but the item may be acquired at other timings. The acquisition timing may be at one location or at three or more locations. The acquisition timing may vary depending on the type of item. Further, a timer may be used to notify the remaining time until the item is used (activated).

(Modification example 17 of characteristic part 011SH)
In the above example, one item is used for one scene (timing), but two or more items may be used for one scene. As an example, two or more items of the same type may be used for one scene. The effect (movement) caused by use may be different depending on when one certain item is used and when two or more certain items are used. Specifically, for example, two up cards (or two cancel cards) may be used in a scene where a "weak title" is displayed. In a scene where a "weak title" is displayed, if two up cards (or two cancel cards) are used, the "weak title" will be immediately changed to "medium title". It may also be possible to develop the title into a strong title. As another example, two or more items of different types may be used for one scene. Specifically, for example, an up card (one) and a cancel card (one) may be used in a scene where a "weak title" is displayed. In a scene where a "weak title" is displayed, if an up card (1 card) and a cancel card (1 card) are used, the "weak title" may become a "strong title" at once. . When up cards and cancel cards are used as described above, a special effect may be performed. For example, when an up card is used for a "weak title" (when the up card image 011SHUPC is displayed superimposed on the weak title image 011SHJT (see Figure 8-12 (D3)), the weak title After displaying image 011SHJTT (see Figure 8-12 (E3)), display medium title image 011SHTT (see Figure 8-12 (F3)), and if a cancel card is used for "weak title" (weak title). When the cancel card image 011SHCXLC is displayed over the title image 011SHJT (see Figure 8-12 (D4)), after the weak title image 011SHJT is destroyed (see Figure 8-12 (E4)), the middle Although the title image 011SHTT is displayed (see Figure 8-12 (F4)), if an up card and a cancel card are used for the "weak title", the lightening bolt will directly hit the weak title image 011SHJT, and the lightning bolt will appear. The weak title image 011SHJT may shine (white out) due to a direct hit, and when the light subsides (recovers from the white out), the strong title image 011SHJT may be displayed in place of the weak title image 011SHJT.

(Modification example 18 of characteristic part 011SH)
In the above example, there are two types of items (up card, cancel card), but there may be three or more types of items. For example, in addition to the up card and the cancel card, an accessory card corresponding to the action of the accessory (movable body 011SH32) may be acquired and used. In other words, the accessory card may be used or acquired by targeting the accessory. In addition, there are multiple timings for the action of the role model, and the timing at which it moves (which timing out of multiple timings it moved at) and the number of times it moves (how many timings out of multiple timings did it move at) are subject to change. Accordingly, the degree of expectation of winning the jackpot (the degree of expectation of winning the battle) may be set to be different.

(Modification example 19 of characteristic part 011SH)
Although an example in which an item does not change to another type after being displayed (stocked) has been described above, there may be a case where an item changes to another type after being displayed (stocked). For example, an up card may be displayed immediately after the fluctuation starts, and the up card may change to a cancel card immediately after the reach. Note that the possibility that the displayed (stocked) item changes to another item may be suggested. For example, as the display mode of the up card, a normal mode and a special mode different from the normal mode (blinking mode, oscillating mode, etc.) are prepared, and when the display mode of the up card is the special mode, the normal mode is used. It may also be possible to make it more likely to change into a cancel card than sometimes.

(Modification example 20 of characteristic part 011SH)
In the above example, the type of item (up card, cancel card) can be identified at the time the item starts displaying (starting stock), but even if the type of item cannot be identified at the time the item starts displaying, good. For example, the type of some or all of the displayed cards may be made indistinguishable at the time of display start, but the type may be made distinguishable at some point before they are used. For example, at the timing of the display start, the back side of a common pattern whose card type cannot be identified is displayed, and at the timing after the execution of the activation effect, the front side where the card type can be identified (Figure 8-8 (A) (B) ) may be displayed. In addition to displaying up cards and cancel cards on the back, fake cards (the display format on the front side is "..." etc., but the display format on the back side is a common symbol similar to the up card and cancel card). card) may be displayed on the back. A fake card may be erased when it becomes identifiable as a fake card (after the front side is displayed). In addition, there may be cases where the change of a fake card ends (it is erased when the change ends) with the back side of the card intact.

(Modification example 21 of characteristic part 011SH)
In the above, an example has been described in which items (up cards, cancel cards) are displayed at the upper right of the display area of the image display device 5, but they may be displayed at other positions. For example, it may be displayed near the active display area 011SHAHA (see FIG. 8-24) (eg, above the active display 011SHAH). The display position may be changed depending on the type of item and the number of items acquired (stocked).

(Modification example 22 of characteristic part 011SH)
In the above, we have explained examples in which items (up cards, cancel cards) are used in pseudo-coupled effects, battle buildup, and relief effects (see Figure 8-8 (C)), but instead of the above situations, In addition, the item may be used in other situations. In other words, above we have explained examples of using and acquiring items targeting pseudo-relationships, battle upstarts, and relief (Figures 8-14 to 8-17), but it is also possible to use and acquire items by targeting other events. You can do it like this. For example, items may be used or acquired by targeting changes in active display or pending display. In other words, the active display etc. may be changed by using an up card or the like. In addition, the display mode of the active display, etc. can be changed by directly affecting the active display, etc. with the item being used (for example, by reducing the size of an up card and displaying it over the active display, etc.). Alternatively, the item to be used may indirectly affect the active display, etc. (for example, by using an up card, etc., an arrow appears and the arrow pierces the active display, etc.) to display the active display. You may change the display mode. It can be said that the latter mode (the mode of acting indirectly) uses and acquires the item with the target of executing an effect effect that changes the active display or pending display. For example, colors that indicate the expectation of a jackpot (such as the overall background color and peripheral color during battle performance, the color of the game effect lamp 9, etc.) The expectation of a jackpot increases in the order of white → blue → green → red → rainbow Items may be used or acquired by targeting changes in price (e.g., price). In other words, the above color change may be performed by using an up card or the like. Furthermore, for example, items may be used or acquired by targeting operations (valid operation period) using operation means (including various buttons, operation rods, guns, swords, etc.). In other words, an effect including an operation using an operating means may be performed by using an up card or the like. Furthermore, the item may be used after the variable display ends. For example, items may be used or acquired with promotion performance (round promotion performance, variable promotion performance) as a target.

(Modification example 23 of characteristic part 011SH)
Although the description has been omitted above, items may be used or acquired in connection with setting value suggestions. As an example, settings may be suggested based on the frequency of use or acquisition of the item. For example, depending on the setting value (for example, depending on whether the setting value is "1" or greater than the setting value "2", whether the setting value is less than or equal to the setting value "3" or greater than the setting value "4"). depending on whether the setting value is an even number or an odd number, etc.), the rate at which the item is used (for example, depending on whether the setting value is an even number or an odd number, etc.), the rate at which the item is used (for example, whether the item is used or (e.g., percentage of items being displayed (stocked) (e.g., percentage of items being displayed (stocked)) (for example, percentage of items being "obtained" or "not obtained" in part or all of Figures 8-14 to 8-17) may be different. As another example, settings may be suggested based on the results of the item's use. For example, in the above, we explained an example in which a rescue performance is always performed (an example of a victory and a jackpot) if a cancel card is used after a defeat is announced in a battle performance, but after a defeat is announced in a battle performance. There are cases where the relief effect is not executed even if a cancel card is used (the player remains defeated), and if the relief effect is not executed even if a cancel card is used after the defeat is announced in the battle effect, the current The setting value may be suggested (for example, an image or the like suggesting the setting value may be displayed). Note that an item (setting suggestion card) may be prepared that is used and acquired with the execution of a setting value suggestion effect that suggests a setting value as a target. For example, when an eye-catching image (an eye-catching image in the normal display mode with common setting values) is displayed (when definitively informing that the super reach has missed), the setting suggestion card may be activated (used), and the display mode of the eye-catching image being displayed (the normal display mode that is common to the setting values) may be changed to the special display mode (the suggestive display mode that suggests the setting values).

(Modification example 24 of characteristic part 011SH)
In the above example, the item is a card (up card, cancel card), but the item does not have to be a card. For example, medals (for example, medals that can identify multiple types) may be displayed and obtained as items, or gachas (for example, gachas that can identify which of multiple types of contents is contained) may be displayed.

(Modification example 25 of characteristic part 011SH)
In the above, the items etc. are determined in the variable display start setting process (step S171) (see FIGS. 9, 8-22, and 8-23), but the items etc. are determined in the variable display start setting process (step S161). etc. may be determined. When deciding on items etc. in the pre-read notice setting process (step S161), instead of the variable pattern, the symbol designation command (whether the variable display result will be a "jackpot" and the jackpot type (probable variable or non-probable variable) Items and the like may be determined based on the contents of a production control command (presentation control command indicating the determination result of the variation pattern) or a variation category designation command ( production control command indicating the category (type) of the determined variation pattern). It should be noted that a plurality of items may be determined at once in the pre-read notice setting process at the time of one starting prize winning, or one item may be determined in the pre-reading notice setting process at the time of each starting prize winning. That is, a plurality of items may be associated with one change, or one item may be associated with each change.

(Application to other devices)
In addition, although the example applied to a pachinko game machine was described above, it is also applicable to a slot machine. In a certain state (for example, a state that is not an advantageous state), for example, periodically (every fixed number of games, every number of games within a predetermined range), another state (for example, an advantageous state; for example, a bonus game, AT, ART) , RT, etc.), a slot machine that draws lots to determine whether the player will move to RT, etc.

(011SH slot machine)
For example, it is possible to execute multiple types of specific performances that suggest that the control will be controlled in an advantageous state, and before the specific performance is executed, multiple types of suggestive performances related to the execution of the specific performance can be executed. The plurality of types of specific effects that can be executed include a first specific effect that can be executed at a predetermined timing (for example, each game within the fixed number of games and before the final battle is selected); An experience point acquisition production that allows experience points to be acquired.One of the final battles with different winning percentages is selected according to the experience points.The more experience points there are, the more advantageous the final battle is likely to be selected), and the predetermined A second specific production that can be executed at a later timing (for example, in each of one or more games in which the final battle is selected) (an upstart production that can change the once selected final battle to a more advantageous final battle) and a third specific performance (relief performance that leads from defeat to victory) that can be executed at a timing later than the predetermined timing (for example, the last game of the final battle, etc.). The first suggestion performance includes a first suggestion performance (for example, a performance using an up card, etc.), and a second suggestion performance (for example, a performance using a cancel card, etc.) that is expected to be controlled in a more advantageous state than the first suggestion performance. When the suggestion production is continuously executed until a predetermined timing, a first specific production can be executed in relation to the first suggestion production, and the first suggestion production continues until a timing after the predetermined timing. When executed, a second specific performance can be executed in relation to the first suggestion performance, and when the second suggestion performance is continuously executed until a predetermined timing, a second specific performance can be performed in relation to the second suggestion performance. A first specific effect can be executed, and when the second suggestion effect is continuously executed until a timing after a predetermined timing, a third specific effect can be executed in relation to the second suggestion effect. Yes, when the first suggestion performance and the second suggestion performance are executed at a predetermined timing, at least the first specific performance is executed in relation to the first suggestion performance at the predetermined timing, and at least the first specific performance is executed after the predetermined timing. A first pattern in which a second specific effect is executed in conjunction with a second suggestive effect at the timing of is stocked, in each game, an up card is used to perform an experience point acquisition effect, and in a game where the final battle is selected, a cancel card is used to perform an upstart effect), and a predetermined timing. A second pattern (for example, a fixed number of games If up cards and cancel cards are stocked in each game before the final battle is selected, in each game, the up card is used to perform an experience point acquisition effect, and the final battle is In the last game, it is possible to execute a specific effect using a pattern in which a cancellation card is used to execute a relief effect. It is sufficient if the timing is later than the timing when the performance (effect) is executed. It should be noted that there are multiple types of battle performances in pachinko machine 1, such as "weak battle,""mediumbattle," and "strong battle" with different degrees of reliability (Figure 8-2, Figure 8-4 to Figure 8- 5), it is assumed that there are a plurality of types of final battles with different degrees of reliability in the above-mentioned slot machine, and the second specific performance is a performance that leads to a final battle with higher reliability. If you win the final battle, you will be controlled in an advantageous state.

(012SH slot machine)
For example, it is possible to execute multiple types of specific performances that suggest that the control will be controlled in an advantageous state, and before the specific performance is executed, multiple types of suggestive performances related to the execution of the specific performance can be executed. It is possible to perform multiple types of specific performances, and the first specific performance (for example, a rescue performance that leads from defeat to victory in the final battle) and the first specific performance have a lower expectation that they will be controlled in an advantageous state. A second specific effect (such as a build-up effect that can change the final battle once selected to a more advantageous final battle); When the first specific performance is executed in relation to the suggestive performance (e.g., the last game of When executed at a previous second timing (for example, each of one or more games in which the final battle is selected), a second specific effect can be executed in conjunction with the suggestive effect, and the second specific effect can be executed. , a first pattern (a pattern with one upstart) that is executed once in connection with a suggestive performance (for example, a performance using a cancel card or an up card), and a suggestive performance (for example, a performance using a cancel card or an up card, etc.). It is possible to execute a second pattern (a pattern with two upstarts) that is executed multiple times in relation to It suffices if the level of expectation that the specific production is controlled to be in an advantageous state is higher than if it were executed. is high). It should be noted that there are multiple types of battle performances in pachinko machine 1, such as "weak battle,""mediumbattle," and "strong battle" with different degrees of reliability (Figure 8-2, Figure 8-4 to Figure 8- 5), it is assumed that there are a plurality of types of final battles with different degrees of reliability in the above-mentioned slot machine, and the second specific performance is a performance that leads to a final battle with higher reliability. If you win the final battle, you will be controlled in an advantageous state.

(Description of means related to characteristic part 011SH)
(Means 1 related to characteristic part 011SH)
A gaming machine (for example, a pachinko gaming machine 1, a slot machine, etc.) that can be controlled to an advantageous state (a jackpot gaming state, a bonus game, etc.), and which has multiple types of specific performances that suggest that it will be controlled to the advantageous state. It is possible to execute multiple types of suggestive effects related to the execution of the specific effect before the specific effect is executed, and the plurality of types of specific effects are executed at a predetermined timing. A first specific performance that can be executed (for example, the pseudo continuous notice performance shown in FIGS. 8-9, 8-10, etc.) and a second specific performance that can be executed at a timing later than the predetermined timing (for example, the 8-11, the battle build-up effect shown in Figure 8-12, etc.) and a third specific effect that can be executed at a timing later than the predetermined timing (for example, the relief effect shown in Figure 8-13, etc.) The plurality of types of suggestion effects include a first suggestion effect (for example, an up card effect shown in FIG. 8-8(A), etc.) and a control to be more advantageous than the first suggestion effect. The second suggestion effect (for example, the effect using the cancel card shown in FIG. 8-8(B), etc.) is highly expected to be performed, and the first suggestion effect (for example, the effect using the up card, etc.) is predetermined. When continuously executed up to the timing, the first specific performance (for example, a pseudo consecutive preview performance, etc.) can be executed in relation to the first suggestive performance (for example, a performance by an up card, etc.), and When the first suggestion effect is continuously executed until a timing after a predetermined timing, the second specific effect (for example, a battle effect) is performed in relation to the first suggestion effect (for example, an up card effect). (for example, Figure 8-8 (C), Figure 8-10 (G4) to Figure 8-10 (L4), Figure 8-12 (B3) to Figure 8-12 ( G3), Fig. 8-15, Fig. 8-16, Fig. 8-17, Fig. 8-18, Fig. 8-23, etc.), the second suggestion effect (for example, effect using a cancel card, etc.) continues until a predetermined timing. When executed, the first specific performance (e.g., a pseudo continuous notice performance, etc.) can be performed in conjunction with the second suggestion performance (for example, a performance using a cancel card, etc.), and the second suggestion When the performance is continuously executed until a timing later than the predetermined timing, the third specific performance (for example, a relief performance, etc.) is performed in relation to the second suggestion performance (for example, a performance using a cancel card, etc.). It is executable (for example, Figure 8-8 (C), Figure 8-10 (G5) to Figure 8-10 (L5), Figure 8-13 (B2) to Figure 8-13 (G2), Figure 8- 14, FIG. 8-16, FIG. 8-17, FIG. 8-18, FIG. 8-23, etc.), the first suggestion effect (for example, an up card effect, etc.) and the second suggestion effect (for example, At least when the first specific performance (e.g., pseudo-continuation notice performance, etc.) is performed in relation to the first suggestion performance (e.g., performance using an up card, etc.) at a predetermined timing. etc.), and at a timing later than a predetermined timing, execute the second specific performance (for example, a performance of a battle rising, etc.) in relation to the second suggestive performance (for example, a performance using a cancel card, etc.). In the first pattern (for example, in a battle effect pattern that includes a pseudo continuous effect and a battle build-up, an up card is determined with the pseudo continuous effect as the target, and a cancel card is determined with the battle build-up as the target (Figure 8-15, Figure 8 -17) pattern, etc.), and executes the first specific performance (for example, a pseudo consecutive notice performance, etc.) in relation to the first suggestion performance (for example, a performance by an up card, etc.) at a predetermined timing, A second pattern (for example, a pseudo continuous performance) in which the third specific performance (for example, a relief performance, etc.) is executed in relation to the second suggestive performance (for example, a performance using a cancel card, etc.) at a timing later than a predetermined timing. , In a battle performance pattern that includes a relief performance, when an up card is determined with a pseudo-continuous performance as a target, and a cancel card is determined with a relief performance as a target (patterns such as those shown in FIGS. 8-14 and 8-17), The specific effect can be executed in the third specific effect (e.g., rescue effect, etc.), and the timing at which the third specific effect (e.g., relief effect, etc.) is executed is later than the timing at which the second specific effect (e.g., effect on the rise of a battle, etc.) is executed. This is the later timing (Figure 8-18, etc.). According to the gaming machine described above, it is possible to improve the interest in gaming. In other words, in order to perform individual specific effects (first specific effect, second specific effect) and a common specific effect (third specific effect) for each of different types of suggestive images, scenes in which suggestive images can be displayed It is possible to increase the variation of performances without excessively limiting the performance, and to improve the interest in the game.

(Means 2 related to characteristic part 011SH)
The gaming machine of the above-mentioned means 1 executes the first specific performance (for example, a pseudo consecutive preview performance, etc.) in connection with the first suggestion performance (for example, a performance using an up card, etc.), and the second The first specific performance (for example, a pseudo consecutive notice performance, etc.) is executed in a different manner depending on the case where the first specific performance (for example, a pseudo consecutive notice performance, etc.) is executed in connection with a suggestive performance (for example, a performance using a cancel card, etc.). performance, etc.) (Figure 8-10). According to the gaming machine described above, it is possible to improve the interest in gaming.

(Means 3 related to characteristic part 011SH)
In the gaming machine of the means 1 and 2, the first suggestion effect (for example, an effect using an up card, etc.) and the second suggestion effect (for example, an effect using a cancel card, etc.) are executed at a predetermined timing. In this case, the second suggestion effect (for example, the effect using the cancel card, etc.) is executed after the predetermined timing. The percentage of continuous execution until the timing differs (Figures 8-14 to 8-17). For example, if up cards and cancel cards are stocked before the start of a pseudo-continuous performance, or if only cancel cards are stocked, then after the pseudo-continuous performance ends, cancel cards are stocked. The determined proportions are not the same (the determined proportions in Figures 8-14 to 8-17 are intentionally not made to be the same). Alternatively, up cards are difficult to decide on as a target for battle upstarts, and cancel cards are difficult to decide on as a target for pseudo-continuation effects, so if up-cards and cancel cards are stocked before the start of a pseudo-continuation effect, In this case, there is a high possibility that the up card is the target of the pseudo-continuation effect, and there is a high possibility that cancel cards are in stock at the end of the pseudo-continuation effect. On the other hand, if there are only cancel cards in stock before the start of a pseudo-sequence effect, the pseudo-sequence effect occurs more frequently than the battle upstart (as the pseudo-sequence effect is executed even in normal reach), so it can be canceled. There is a relatively high possibility that a card is the target of a pseudo-continuation performance, and it is not likely that a canceled card is in stock at the end of the pseudo-continuation performance. According to the gaming machine described above, it is possible to draw attention to the type of suggestion performance when the first specific performance is executed.

(Means 4 related to characteristic part 011SH)
The gaming machines of the above-mentioned means 1 to 3 are arranged such that when executing the first specific effect (for example, a pseudo consecutive notice effect, etc.), the game machine performs a The rate of execution is different from the rate of execution in relation to the second suggestion performance (for example, performance using a cancel card, etc.) (FIGS. 8-16 and 8-17). According to the gaming machine, the first specific performance can be executed in conjunction with the first suggestion performance or the second suggestion performance in accordance with the player's psychology.

(Means 5 related to characteristic part 011SH)
The gaming machines of means 1 to 4 described above are capable of executing a notification performance (for example, the activation performance shown in FIG. 8-18) that notifies that the specific performance will be executed in connection with the suggestion performance. Yes (for example, as shown in Figures 8-24 (H) to 8-25 (F), in connection with the up card being stocked (in other words, the up card being stocked is being used) (related to)) can display the activation image 011SHHD1 that notifies that the pseudo-continuation effect will be executed.Also, as shown in Figures 8-26(C) to 8-26(H), when the cancel card is It is possible to display an activation image 011SHHD2 that notifies that a battle upstart will be executed in connection with being stocked (in other words, in connection with the use of a stocked cancel card). -29(A) to FIG. 8-24(G), the pseudo It is possible to display an activation image 011SHHD1 that notifies that a series of effects will be executed.Also, as shown in Figures 8-32 (F) to 8-31 (E), it is possible to display an activation image 011SHHD1 that notifies that a series of effects will be executed. In connection therewith (in other words, in connection with the use of the stocked cancel card), it is possible to display the activation image 011SHHD2 that notifies that the relief effect will be executed), and the above-mentioned suggestion effect is not executed. (For example, as shown in Figure 8-31 (B) to Figure 8-31 (G), if there are no up cards in stock (in other words, if the up card is Activation image 011SHHD1 can be displayed even if a card is used), and if the notification effect is executed when the suggestion effect is not executed, the specific effect is greater than or equal to a predetermined expected value. Execute. For example, in the example shown in Figure 8-16, the decision ratio of not stocking up cards and using them as targets for pseudo-continuation effects is 12% for normal reach (miss) and 15% for normal reach (jackpot). Yes, the percentage of decisions to stock up cards and target them for pseudo-continuation effects is 73% (26% + 47%) for normal reach (miss) and 70% (25% + 45%) for normal reach (jackpot). . Therefore, when an unstocked up card is used and a pseudo consecutive performance is executed, the reliability of the pseudo consecutive performance is the same as when an unstocked up card is used and a pseudo consecutive performance is performed. Higher than the reliability of the production. In other words, when an up card that is not in stock is used and a pseudo continuous effect is executed, the reliability of the jackpot due to the pseudo continuous effect is the predetermined expected value (when a stocked up card is used and a pseudo continuous effect is executed) (The reliability of the jackpot due to the pseudo-continuous effect when the above is executed) or more. According to the gaming machine described above, it is possible to prevent a decline in interest. For example, a card that is not in stock may be used, a specific effect may be executed (a specific effect is executed as a surprise), and the specific effect (a specific effect that occurs as a surprise) is greater than or equal to a predetermined expected value. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a decrease in interest due to lack of stock.

(Means 6 related to characteristic part 011SH)
In the gaming machines of the above-mentioned means 1 to 5, the suggestive effect can be started at a plurality of timings, and at which timing the suggestive effect should be started depending on the type of the suggestive effect. (For example, as shown in Figures 8-14 to 8-17, the ratio of display (stock) timing is different depending on the type of card. Also, depending on the type of card, the ratio of the display (stock) timing is different. The timing (i.e. target) determination rate is different). According to the gaming machine described above, since the suggestive effects are executed at various timings during the game, it is possible to create a sense of anticipation at various timings.

(Description of means related to characteristic part 012SH)
(Means 1 related to characteristic part 012SH)
A gaming machine (for example, a pachinko gaming machine 1, a slot machine, etc.) that can be controlled to an advantageous state (a jackpot gaming state, a bonus game, etc.), and which has multiple types of specific performances that suggest that it will be controlled to the advantageous state. is executable, and before the specific production is executed, multiple types of suggestive productions related to the execution of the specific production are executable, and the plurality of types of specific production are based on a first specific production. production (for example, the rescue production shown in FIGS. 8-13, etc.), and a second specific production (for example, FIGS. 8-11, 8 - 12, etc.), and the suggestive effect (for example, the effect using a cancel card, etc.) is performed at the first timing (for example, a scene where "LOSE image 011SHKH1" is displayed). When being executed, the first specific performance (for example, a rescue performance, etc.) can be performed in relation to the suggestion performance, and the suggestion performance (for example, a performance using an up card or a cancel card, etc.) When executed at a second timing (for example, a scene where the title of a battle effect is displayed) before the first timing, the second specific effect (for example, a scene in which a battle is about to start) is executed in relation to the suggestive effect. A first performance, which is capable of executing the second specific performance (e.g., a performance of a battle build-up, etc.) once in relation to the suggestive performance (e.g., a performance with an up card or a cancel card, etc.). Execute multiple times in conjunction with a pattern (for example, a pattern that is executed once during the battle using stocked cards; see Figure 8-15) and the above-mentioned suggestive effects (for example, effects using up cards or cancel cards). (For example, a pattern in which the stocked cards are used and the battle is up and running is executed twice. See Figure 8-15), and the second specific effect is executed in the second pattern. In this case, the expectation of being controlled to the advantageous state is higher than in the case where the second specific effect is executed in the first pattern (the two battles are strong battles, so There is a high degree of expectation that the game will be controlled by the state (FIGS. 8-2, 8-4, and 8-5). According to the gaming machine described above, it is possible to improve the interest of the game. In other words, the first specific performance If the second specific performance is executed with a low level of expectation, the level of expectation will be higher by repeatedly executing it than if it is executed once, thereby increasing or sustaining the player's sense of expectation and increasing the interest of the game. can be improved.

(Means 2 related to characteristic part 012SH)
In the gaming machine of the above-mentioned means 1, the second specific effect (for example, a battle rising effect, etc.) is related to the suggestive effect (for example, a effect using an up card or a cancel card, etc.) and the first pattern (for example, A pattern in which each stocked card is used one by one and the battle upstart is executed once.Here, a pattern is used in which two stocked cards are used and the battle upstart is executed twice, that is, the first upstart is also executed in the second upstart. It is better when the second specific effect is executed in the second pattern in relation to the suggestion effect (for example, when the second specific effect is executed using the stock 1 pattern, etc.). The first specific performance (for example, a relief performance, etc.) is executed more than a pattern in which the battle setup is executed twice using one card (in other words, a pattern in which the second setup is executed without using the stock). Cheap. For example, in the case of two rises shown in Figure 8-15 (C) and Figure 8-15 (D), "When an item targeted for relief is acquired (Figure 8-15 (D))" The frequency of execution using stock for both the first upstart and the second upstart (in other words, the "use There is a high percentage of "Used, Obtained, Cancelled Card, Immediately after the start of variation, 2 pieces" or "Used, Obtained, Cancelled Card, Immediately after Reach, 2 pieces"), and the stock is not used for the second rise. The frequency of execution (that is, the rate at which "used, acquired, canceled card, immediately after fluctuation start, 1 card" or "used, acquired, canceled card, immediately after reach, 1 card" is determined) is low. Therefore, when both the first upstart and the second upstart are performed using stock, the rescue performance is more likely to be executed than when the second upstart is performed without using stock. Furthermore, as shown in Figures 8-15 (A) and 8-15 (B), even in the case of one upswing, it is better to execute an upswing using the stock than without using the stock. Relief effects are more likely to be executed than cases in which upstarts are executed. In other words, if the upstart is executed without using the stock, it becomes difficult to execute the rescue effect. According to the gaming machine, when the first pattern with a low level of expectation is executed, the probability that the first specific performance is executed is high, so that the feeling of anticipation can be maintained.

(Means 3 related to characteristic part 012SH)
In the gaming machine of the above-mentioned means 1 and 2, the suggestive effect (for example, an effect using an up card or a cancel card, etc.) is performed before the second timing (for example, a scene where the title of a battle effect is displayed, etc.). Execution can be started at the previous third timing (for example, the scene immediately after reaching) and the fourth timing before the third timing (for example, the scene immediately after the start of fluctuation) (up card Cancellation cards can be displayed (stocked) in the scene immediately after the fluctuation starts, the scene immediately after the reach, etc.), and the third timing (for example, the scene immediately after the reach, etc.) and the fourth timing (for example, the scene immediately after the fluctuation starts, etc.). The second specific effect (e.g., a scene immediately after the battle, etc.) is executed depending on the timing at which the execution is started. The rate of execution differs (for example, see Figures 8-15). According to the gaming machine described above, it is possible to draw attention to the timing at which the execution of the suggestion effect is started.

(Means 4 related to characteristic part 012SH)
In the gaming machines of the above means 1 to 3, the second specific performance (for example, a battle build-up performance, etc.) may cause other preview performances that are being executed when the second specific performance is being executed to be This is an effect that changes the mode to a second mode that is more expected than the first mode (for example, see FIGS. 8-12). According to the gaming machine described above, it is possible to improve the interest.

(Means 5 related to characteristic part 012SH)
In the gaming machines of the above means 1 to 4, the second specific performance executed after the first time in the second pattern is executed without being related to the suggestion performance. For example, in the two battle rises shown in Figure 8-15 (C) and Figure 8-15 (D), "Used, acquired, cancel card, immediately after fluctuation starts, 1 card", "Used, acquired, If it is determined that "Yes, Cancel Card, Immediately After Reach, 1 Card", one Cancel Card is used and two upstarts are executed. Specifically, the stocked cancellation cards are consumed during the first uprising. Therefore, the second upstart is executed without consuming the stocked cancel cards (that is, regardless of the stock of cancel cards). According to the gaming machine described above, it is possible to improve the interest. In other words, since the cards are used without stock, the sense of surprise stands out and the game becomes more interesting.

(Means 6 related to characteristic part 012SH)
In the gaming machines of the above-mentioned means 1 to 5, the suggestive effect can be started at a plurality of timings, and at which timing the suggestive effect should be started depending on the type of the suggestive effect. (For example, as shown in Figures 8-14 to 8-17, the ratio of display (stock) timing is different depending on the type of card. Also, depending on the type of card, the ratio of the display (stock) timing is different. The timing (i.e. target) determination rate is different). According to the gaming machine described above, since the suggestive effects are executed at various timings during the game, it is possible to create a sense of anticipation at various timings.

(Explanation common to characteristic parts 063F to 065F)
Next, parts common to the characteristic parts 063F to 065F of this embodiment will be explained. In the characteristic parts 063F to 065F, a plurality of types of preview effects are executed that suggest that the game will be controlled to a jackpot gaming state, which is an advantageous state advantageous to the player. In addition, in the characteristic parts 063F to 065F, a suggestion performance that suggests execution of a specific preview performance among the plurality of types of preview performances is executed.

The specific preview performance includes a first part performance that is executed before the performance result of the specific preview performance is displayed, and a second part performance that is executed after the first part performance ends until the performance result is displayed. It consists of Further, the suggestive effects include a first predetermined effect executed at a timing before the start of the first part effect, a second predetermined effect executed at a timing related to the start of the first part effect, and a second predetermined effect executed at a timing related to the start of the first part effect. and a third predetermined performance executed at a timing related to the start of the part performance. In this way, the first part performance in the specific preview performance and the second predetermined performance in the suggestion performance are actually started at related timings, and the second part performance in the specific preview performance and the third predetermined performance in the suggestion performance are started. It is started at a timing related to.

Further, another preview performance may be executed at a timing before the specific preview performance. In such a case, the first predetermined performance in the suggestion performance may be executed while another preview performance is being executed. In other words, the execution periods of the other preview performances and the first predetermined performance overlap. Then, when the performance results of the other preview performances are displayed, the first predetermined performance is being continuously executed. In this way, there is no relationship between the other preview presentations and the suggestion presentation.

(Explanation regarding characteristic part 063F)
Next, the characteristic part 063F of this embodiment will be explained. In the characteristic part 063F, the third predetermined effect is executed in a manner that is more noticeable than the second predetermined effect, and the third predetermined effect is executed in a manner that is more conspicuous than the first part effect. A conspicuous manner is defined as being conspicuous to players by one or more of the following: conspicuous display on the screen, conspicuousness due to loud volume or distinctive sound, conspicuousness due to a large amount of light, etc. This is a clear example.

Furthermore, in the feature section 063F, the degree of expectation (also referred to as the degree of jackpot expectation) that the specific preview performance will be controlled into a jackpot game state is higher than that of other preview performances. Furthermore, in the first part of the specific preview performance, a performance suggesting that one of the multiple types of performance modes is selected is executed. The ratio of which presentation mode is selected differs depending on whether the suggestion presentation is executed or not.

(Explanation regarding characteristic part 064F)
Next, the characteristic portion 064F will be explained. In the feature section 064F, the third predetermined effect can be executed in a manner that suggests a specific preview effect more highly than the first predetermined effect. Here, to execute in a manner that highly suggests the specific preview performance means to execute in a manner that makes it easy for the player to understand that the specific preview performance is being executed. Further, the first predetermined performance is executed in different manners depending on the type of specific preview performance, which is provided in a plurality of types. Further, depending on the type of the first predetermined effect, the length of the period from the start of the first predetermined effect to the execution of the specific preview effect differs.

(Explanation regarding characteristic part 065F)
Next, the characteristic portion 065F will be explained. In the feature section 065F, the third predetermined effect can be executed in a manner that suggests a specific preview effect more highly than the first predetermined effect. Here, to execute in a manner that highly suggests the specific preview performance means to execute in a manner that makes it easy for the player to understand that the specific preview performance is being executed. Further, the first predetermined effect is executed in a common manner for any of the plurality of types of specific preview effects. Further, the execution period of the second predetermined performance is the same regardless of the type of specific preview performance, while the execution period of the third predetermined performance differs depending on the type of specific preview performance.

Each characteristic portion will be described in detail below using FIGS. 9-1 to 9-6. The characteristic parts 063F and 064F will be mainly explained using FIGS. 9-1 to 9-5, and the characteristic part 065F will mainly be explained using FIG. 9-6. FIG. 9-1 is a timing chart showing a specific preview performance execution pattern and a false pattern. FIG. 9-1(A) is a timing chart showing a specific preview performance execution pattern when a specific preview performance is executed. Here, there are a plurality of types of preview performances such as specific preview performances and other preview performances, which foretell that the jackpot game state will be controlled. The specific preview performance is a preview performance with a higher degree of expectation that it will be controlled into a jackpot game state than other preview performances.

As shown in FIG. 9-1(A), the specific preview performance is composed of a first part performance and a second part performance executed after the first part performance. When the second part performance ends, the performance result of the specific preview performance is displayed. Further, before the specific preview performance is executed, other preview performances may be executed. The performance results are also displayed at the end of other preview performances. The performance result is some kind of result for the preview performance that is being executed.

In addition, the suggestive performances whose execution periods overlap with the preview performances are a first predetermined performance, a second predetermined performance that is executed after the first predetermined performance, and a third predetermined performance that is performed after the second predetermined performance. It consists of As shown in FIG. 9-1(A), another preview effect is executed during the period in which the first predetermined effect is being executed. Even when the performance results of other preview performances are displayed, the first predetermined performance is continuously executed. Since the first predetermined performance does not end when the other preview performances end, it can be seen that the first predetermined performance being executed is not related to the other preview performances. Note that "related" mentioned here indicates that other preview performances and the first predetermined performance are related in terms of timing. There may be a relationship where the first predetermined performance is related by execution, or a relationship where the other preview performance and the first predetermined performance are related through lamps, images, characters, etc. If the first performance is connected to the other performance, good.

Further, as shown in FIG. 9-1(A), the suggestion effect is switched from the first predetermined effect to the second predetermined effect at the timing when the first part effect in the specific preview effect is started. In this way, since the second predetermined performance is started at a timing related to the start of the first part performance, it can be seen that the first part performance and the second predetermined performance are related. In this way, it can be easily understood that the first part performance as the specific performance is started at the timing when the performance is switched after the first predetermined performance is started. Furthermore, the suggestion performance is switched from the second predetermined performance to the third predetermined performance at the timing when the second part performance in the specific preview performance is started. In this way, since the third predetermined performance is started at a timing related to the start of the second part performance, it can be seen that the second part performance and the third predetermined performance are related.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 9-1(A), the third predetermined performance in the suggestion performance ends at a timing before the specific preview performance ends. In other words, the third predetermined performance ends before the performance result of the specific preview performance is displayed. In this way, the content of the specific preview performance can be grasped without being disturbed by the third predetermined performance.

FIG. 9-1(B) is a timing chart when the fake pattern is executed. A false pattern is a false pattern in which a suggestion effect is executed but a specific preview effect is not executed. The relationship between the first predetermined performance and other preview performances is the same as in the case of FIG. 9-1(A). In other words, another preview performance is executed at a timing after the first predetermined performance as a suggestion performance is started. The first predetermined performance is also executed at the timing when the performance results of other preview performances are displayed. However, the performance does not switch from the first predetermined performance to the second predetermined performance, and the first predetermined performance ends without even starting the specific preview performance.

Here, the execution period of the first predetermined effect in pattern (A) when the specific notice effect is executed is longer than the execution period of the first predetermined effect in pattern (B) of the false pattern in which the specific notice effect is not executed. It has become. In this way, the execution period of the first predetermined effect has a relationship of pattern (A)>pattern (B). In other words, in a fake pattern in which the second predetermined effect is not executed after the first predetermined effect is executed, the length of the execution period of the first predetermined effect is longer than the execution period of the first predetermined effect when the specific preview effect is executed. shorter than length. In this way, it is possible to prevent the execution period of the first predetermined performance from becoming too long, making the player have excessive expectations, and reducing interest.

Next, an example of a performance operation using the image display device 5 will be explained. FIG. 9-2 is a diagram showing an example of the effect operation related to the feature section 063F. A series of effects are executed in the order shown in FIGS. 9-2 (A) to (J). FIG. 9-2(A) is a diagram showing the state at the start of variable display. At the start of the variable display, the state of the variable display currently being executed is indicated by three downward arrows on the screen. Further, at the lower center of the screen, an active display in the form of a round shape on a pedestal is displayed as a mode corresponding to the current variable display. Further, on the left side of the active display, a two-circle pending display corresponding to pending storage that has not been executed yet is displayed.

FIG. 9-2(B) is a diagram showing the state at the start of the first predetermined effect. As shown in FIG. 9-2(B), when the first predetermined performance is started, an image showing a treasure chest is displayed at the lower left of the screen of the image display device 5. By displaying the treasure box image, it is suggested that a specific preview performance will be executed afterwards. Next, FIG. 9-2(C) shows a state where a dialogue preview performance (dialogue preview) is being executed as another preview performance. In the speech preview, an image of a character image saying the line "chance" is displayed. A treasure chest is displayed as the first predetermined effect even while the dialogue preview is being executed. Note that a plurality of types of speech previews may be provided, and the content of the speech and the appearance of the character may differ depending on the degree of expectation of a jackpot.

FIG. 9-2(D) is a diagram showing the situation when the second predetermined performance and the first part performance are started. As shown in FIG. 9-2(D), at the start of the second predetermined effect, an image showing a key is displayed in front of the treasure box as the second predetermined effect. In addition, as shown in Figure 9-2 (D), at the start of the first part performance, three cards with the words "SP Reach", "Story", and "Zone" written on them are displayed as the first part performance. is displayed. After that, FIG. 9-2(E) shows the situation when the second predetermined effect and the first part effect are being executed. As shown in FIG. 9-2(E), while the second predetermined effect is being executed, an image of a key stuck in a treasure box is displayed as the second predetermined effect. Further, as shown in 9-2(E), a card mixing effect is performed by shuffling three cards as the first part effect.

After that, FIG. 9-2(F) shows the situation when the third predetermined performance and the second part performance are started. As shown in FIG. 9-2 (F), at the start of the third predetermined effect, the third predetermined effect is such that a treasure box opens by turning a key, and the treasure chest is called "Gashaan" from the speakers 8L and 8R. You will be notified with a loud sound that the door is open. In addition, as shown in Figure 9-2 (F), at the start of the second part effect, three cards are turned over and an arrow is displayed above one of the cards. is executed, and a button image indicating that the push button 31B should be operated is displayed at the lower right of the screen. The arrow image changes over time to point to one of the cards.

FIG. 9-2 (G) shows the situation when the third predetermined effect and the second part effect are being executed. As shown in FIG. 9-2 (G), while the third predetermined effect is being executed, an effect in which a character pops out from inside a treasure box is executed as the third predetermined effect. In addition, as shown in Figure 9-2 (G), during the execution of the second part effect, when the player operates a button as the second part effect, or when the predetermined operation validity period ends, three pieces of A performance is performed that is determined for one card from among the cards. After that, in FIG. 9-2 (H), following from FIG. 9-2 (G), the state when the third predetermined effect and the second part effect are being executed is shown. As shown in Figure 9-2 (H), while the third predetermined effect is being executed, the treasure chest is erased and the character is displayed in a large size overlapping the determined card. be done. Further, as shown in FIG. 9-2 (H), while the second part performance is being executed, a performance in which the cards remain face down is performed as the second part performance.

After that, in FIG. 9-2 (I), following from FIG. 9-2 (H), a state in which the third predetermined effect and the second part effect are being executed is shown. As shown in FIG. 9-2 (I), while the third predetermined effect is being executed, the character displayed overlapping the card disappears out of the screen as the third predetermined effect. . Further, as shown in FIG. 9-2(I), as a second part effect, an effect in which the cards face up is performed. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 9-2 (J), an image showing the characters "ZONE" is displayed in the center of the screen as a result of the specific preview performance. This indicates that a zone performance with high expectations for a jackpot will be executed from now on. Note that at the stage when the performance result is displayed, the third predetermined performance has already ended.

As shown in FIG. 9-2, by linking the second predetermined performance in the suggestive performance and the first part performance in the specific preview performance, it is possible to easily make the player recognize the target specific preview performance. This is because the first predetermined performance is a performance that is executed over a long period of time, so if the preview performances are executed at the same time, it is difficult to understand which preview performance is being suggested. However, by relating the execution timings of the second predetermined performance and the specific preview performance, it is possible to easily recognize that the first predetermined performance has ended and the specific preview performance has started.

In addition, as shown in Figure 9-2, among the display areas where the effects are executed, the area at the bottom left of the screen where the suggestion effect is executed for a long period of time is a different area from the area at the center of the screen where the preview effect is executed. It is. In this way, various performances using the display area can be executed in a manner that allows the player to easily confirm the connection between the second predetermined performance in the suggestion performance and the first part performance in the preview performance.

Next, the variation pattern of the variation display executed in the feature section 063F will be explained. FIG. 9-3 is a diagram illustrating a variation pattern of the gaming machine related to the feature section 063F. FIG. 9-3(A) is an explanatory diagram showing types of fluctuation patterns (fluctuation time). In FIG. 9-3(A), the special figure variation time and the content of the variation pattern are shown according to the type of variation pattern.

FIG. 9-3(B) is an example of the determination ratio of the fluctuation pattern. According to the example shown in FIG. 9-3(B), the expectation level (reliability) of a jackpot is super reach C>super reach B>super reach A>normal reach. The expected jackpot for a certain performance a is, for example, (probability that performance a will be executed when it becomes a jackpot) x (probability that performance a will be executed when it becomes a jackpot) / {(probability that performance a will be executed when it becomes a jackpot) × (Probability of hitting the jackpot) + (Probability of performance a being executed when there is no jackpot) × (Probability of not hitting the jackpot) "become).

For example, the reliability of Super Reach A is (0.1 x 1/320)/{(0.1 x 1/320) + (0.008 x 319/320)} = approximately 3. It is 8%. Hereinafter, when similarly calculated, the reliability of Super Reach A is approximately 7.3% in the high base state. The reliability of Super Reach B is approximately 44% in the low base state. The reliability of Super Reach B is approximately 16% in the high base state. The reliability of Super Reach C is approximately 65% in the low base state. The reliability of Super Reach C is approximately 48% in the high base state.

In addition, according to the example in Figure 9-3 (B), the reliability of Super Reach A, Super Reach B, and Super Reach C is different between the low base state and the high base state. It may be common to the base state and the high base state.

In addition, according to the example in FIG. 9-3 (B), variation pattern #11 is not determined during a low base, but variation pattern #11 may be determined even during a low base depending on the number of pending memories, for example. (For example, the variable pattern #11 may be determined on condition that the number of pending memories becomes 4.) Furthermore, according to the example in FIG. 9-3(B), although fluctuation pattern #10 is not determined during a high base, for example, fluctuation pattern #10 may be determined even during a high base depending on the number of pending memories. (For example, the variable pattern #11 may be determined on the condition that the number of pending memories becomes 0 or 1.)

Next, the determination ratio of the types and contents of various performances will be explained. FIG. 9-4 is an example of the determination ratio of the types and contents of various performances. FIG. 9-4(A) is a table for explaining each variation pattern and the type of performance in the specific preview performance. As shown in FIG. 9-4(A), in variation patterns #13 and #18, the specific preview performance is determined to be a roulette preview. Further, in variation patterns #14 and #19, the specific preview performance is determined to be a character battle preview. Further, in variation patterns #15 and #20, the specific preview performance is determined to be a card preview.

The roulette notice is a notice in which one performance content is determined from among a plurality of types of performances displayed on the roulette wheel. Further, the character battle preview is a preview in which one of the enemy characters is determined from among a plurality of types of enemy characters. Further, the card preview is a preview that is determined by one of the performance contents written on a plurality of cards. Due to the fluctuation patterns, the expectation of jackpot is higher in the order of roulette preview < character battle preview < card preview. Note that instead of uniformly determining the type of specific preview performance according to the variation pattern, one of the specific preview performances may be executed by lottery.

FIG. 9-4(B) is a table for explaining the determination ratio of the first predetermined performance executed as the suggestion performance. As shown in FIG. 9-4(B), the execution rate of the first predetermined performance is different depending on whether it is a jackpot or a loss. For example, if the display result is a failure, a 60% ratio is determined for no execution, and a 40% ratio for execution is determined. Furthermore, if the displayed result is a jackpot, it is determined at a rate of 40% without execution, and at a rate of 60% with execution. In other words, it can be said that the expectation of a jackpot is higher when the first predetermined effect is executed than when it is not executed.

Further, there are three types of patterns in the size of the treasure box displayed as the first predetermined effect. The size of the treasure box and the execution time of each predetermined performance are determined according to the fluctuation pattern. In variation patterns #13 and #18, a first predetermined effect in which a small treasure chest is displayed is executed for 10 seconds, followed by a second predetermined effect for 3 seconds, and then a third predetermined effect is executed for 10 seconds. In variation patterns #14 and #19, a first predetermined effect in which a treasure chest is displayed is executed for 20 seconds, a second predetermined effect is executed for 3 seconds, and a third predetermined effect is executed for 10 seconds. In variation patterns #15 and #20, a first predetermined effect in which a large treasure chest is displayed is executed for 30 seconds, a subsequent second predetermined effect is executed for 3 seconds, and a subsequent third predetermined effect is executed for 10 seconds. In addition, in FIG. 9-2, since the card preview was executed, the treasure box at that time is displayed in large size. However, the first predetermined effect is not uniformly determined depending on the variation pattern, but may be determined at different rates depending on the variation pattern.

FIG. 9-4(C) is a table showing the determination ratio of the first predetermined effect fake pattern in which only the first predetermined effect is executed and the specific preview effect is not executed. The first predetermined effect pattern is executed in the case of variation pattern #12. The determination ratio is 90% for non-execution and 10% for execution.

FIG. 9-4(D) is a table for determining the content of the specific preview performance. The types of specific preview effects include roulette previews, character battle previews, and card previews. Then, in the roulette preview, an effect determined from among SP reach A, SP reach B, and SP reach C is executed. Furthermore, in the character battle preview, a performance is performed in which one of enemy characters A, B, and C is determined. Further, in the card preview, an effect determined from among SP reach, story, and zone is executed. Here, SP reach indicates that SP reach with high expectation of jackpot is executed. Further, the enemy character indicates an enemy character in the character battle preview, and indicates that a battle effect with the enemy character will be executed. Moreover, the story indicates that a continuous production with a story-like nature is executed. Further, the zone indicates that a zone effect is executed in which the background changes to a highly anticipated background.

Further, as shown in FIG. 9-4(D), the content of the specific preview performance is determined at a different rate depending on whether the first predetermined performance is executed. In the case where the first predetermined effect is to be executed, the roulette preview is determined to have SP reach A of 0%, SP reach B of 40%, and SP reach C of 60%. When the first predetermined effect is not executed, in the roulette preview, SP reach A is determined to be 50%, SP reach B is 30%, and SP reach C is determined to be 20%. When the first predetermined performance is to be executed, the character battle preview is determined at a ratio of 0% for enemy character A, 40% for enemy character B, and 60% for enemy character C. When the first predetermined effect is not executed, the character battle preview is determined at a rate of 50% for enemy character A, 30% for enemy character B, and 20% for enemy character C. When the first predetermined performance is to be executed, the card preview is determined at a ratio of 0% for SP reach, 40% for story, and 60% for zone. When the first predetermined effect is not executed, the card preview is determined at a rate of 50% for SP reach, 30% for story, and 20% for zone.

FIG. 9-4(E) is a table showing the determination ratio of other preview performances. Other preview performances may be executed within the same variation as the specific preview performance. In addition, other preview effects include symbol previews, step-up previews, and dialogue previews. The symbol preview is a notice that indicates the expectation of a jackpot using symbols such as "?" and "!". The step-up notice is a notice in which an image changes step by step, and the degree of expectation of a jackpot is indicated according to the stage of change. The line preview is a notice that suggests the degree of expectation of a jackpot depending on the content of the line.

As shown in Figure 9-4 (E), in the case of fluctuation patterns #12 and #17, the symbol preview is 5
0%, step-up notices at 30%, and dialogue notices at 20%. Further, in the case of variation patterns #13 and #18, the ratio of symbol preview is determined to be 40%, step-up notice is determined to be 30%, and dialogue notice is determined to be 30%. Further, in the case of variation patterns #14 and #19, the ratio of symbol preview is determined to be 20%, step-up notice is determined to be 30%, and dialogue notice is determined to be 50%. Further, in the case of variation patterns #15 and #20, the ratio of symbol preview is determined to be 10%, step-up notice is determined to be 20%, and dialogue notice is determined to be 70%.

As shown in Figures 9-4 (A) and (E), the specific preview performance is selected only with a variation pattern of super reach, but other preview productions are selected with a variation pattern of super reach and a variation pattern of normal reach with low expectations. However, because it is selected, the expectation of a jackpot is higher for specific preview performances than for other preview performances. In addition, as shown in Figure 9-4 (A), specific preview performances include a roulette preview where you select one of the items, a character battle performance where you select one of multiple enemy characters, and a card preview where you select one of several enemy characters. A performance is performed in which one of the cards is selected. Further, as shown in FIG. 9-4(D), the ratio of the performance modes selected in each specific preview performance differs depending on whether or not the first predetermined performance as the suggestive performance is executed. In this way, the performance effects of the specific preview performance and the suggestion performance can be enhanced.

Further, as shown in FIG. 9-4(B), the first predetermined performance as a suggestion performance is more likely to be executed in the case of a jackpot than in the case of a loss. Then, as shown in FIG. 9-4(D), when the first predetermined effect is executed, the SP reach A, enemy character A, and SP reach selected when the first predetermined effect is executed are Content is never selected. Therefore, in the specific preview performance when the first predetermined performance as the suggestive performance is executed, the performance result is equal to or higher than the predetermined expectation level. In this way, it is possible to prevent interest from decreasing due to the performance result of the specific preview performance being less expected even though the suggestive performance has been executed.

Further, as shown in FIG. 9-4(B), the higher the expectation level of the variation pattern, the longer the execution period of the first predetermined effect. In this way, it is possible to draw attention to the length of the execution period of the first predetermined effect until the second predetermined effect is executed.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 9-4(B), the execution period of the first predetermined effect is a variable period such as 10 seconds, 20 seconds, and 30 seconds, while the execution period of the second predetermined effect is 3 seconds, The execution period of the third predetermined effect is an unchanging period of 10 seconds. In this way, since the second predetermined performance and the third predetermined performance are fixed periods, the second predetermined performance and the third predetermined performance can be easily recognized by the player, and the second predetermined performance can be executed. This makes it easier to recognize that execution of the specific preview performance (first part performance) has started.

Further, as shown in FIG. 9-4(C), only in the case of the normal reach variation pattern in which the specific preview performance is not executed, the first predetermined performance false pattern in which the performance result is not displayed at a low rate is executed. In other words, the first predetermined effect false pattern is not executed when the specific preview effect is executed, so when the first predetermined effect is executed, the effect result of the specific preview effect is displayed at a high rate. The performance will be executed. In this way, it is possible to prevent interest from decreasing due to the fact that the performance result of the specific preview performance is not displayed even though the suggestive performance has been executed.

Further, as shown in FIG. 9-4(A), the specific preview effect to be executed according to the variation pattern is determined. Further, as shown in FIG. 9-4(B), the size of the treasure box displayed as the first predetermined effect is determined by the variation pattern. In other words, the first predetermined performance is performed with different types of treasure boxes depending on the type of specific preview performance. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 9-4(B), since the time for the first predetermined effect differs depending on the size of the treasure box as the first predetermined effect, the specific preview effect is executed after the first predetermined effect is started. The length of time it takes to complete the process varies. In this way, the effect of the suggestive presentation can be enhanced.

Further, as shown in FIG. 9-4(B), the execution period of the third predetermined effect is 10 seconds, which is longer than the execution period of the second predetermined effect, which is 3 seconds. In this way, the performance effect during the period in which the third predetermined performance is executed can be enhanced.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 9-4(B), the total period of the first predetermined effect, second predetermined effect, and third predetermined effect as suggestive effects is longer as the variation pattern has a higher degree of expectation. . In this way, it is possible to draw attention to the execution period of the suggestion effect, and it is possible to enhance the effect of the suggestion effect.

Further, as shown in FIG. 9-4(A), the types of specific preview performances that are executed differ depending on the types of variation patterns. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 9-4(E), the execution rate of other preview performances differs depending on the type of variation pattern. In other words, the execution rate of other preview effects will differ depending on the type of specific preview effect. In this way, other preview effects can be suitably executed depending on the type of specific preview effect.

Next, processing for determining each effect will be explained. FIG. 9-5 is a flowchart illustrating an example of production determination processing. The effect determination process is included in the process executed in the variable display start setting process (S171 in FIG. 7). The performance control CPU 120 first determines whether the variable display variation pattern to be executed this time is a super reach variation pattern (063FS001). The super reach variation patterns are #13 to #15 and #18 to #20. Whether or not it is a super reach variation pattern can be determined from the value of the variation pattern designation command sent from the main side to the sub side.

If the performance control CPU 120 determines in 063FS001 that the variation pattern is not super reach (063FS001; N), it determines whether the variation pattern is out of normal reach (063FS007). The variation pattern of the deviation from the normal reach is pattern #12. If the performance control CPU 120 determines in 063FS007 that the variation pattern is not out of normal reach (063FS007; N), it ends the process. If the performance control CPU 120 determines in 063FS007 that the variation pattern is out of normal reach (063FS007; Y), the performance control CPU 120 executes the first predetermined performance fake pattern based on the determined ratio of FIG. 9-4(C). The presence or absence is determined (063FS008). Next, the process moves to 063FS005.

If the performance control CPU 120 determines in 063FS001 that the variation pattern is super reach (063FS001; Y), the performance control CPU 120 determines the type of specific preview performance based on the variation pattern using the table in FIG. 9-4 (A). Decide (063FS002). Next, the performance control CPU 120 determines whether or not to execute the first predetermined performance based on the variation pattern using the table shown in FIG. 9-4(B) (063FS003). Next, the performance control CPU 120 determines the content of the specific preview performance based on the type of specific preview performance and whether or not the first predetermined performance is to be executed, using the table shown in FIG. 9-4(D) (063FS004). Next, the performance control CPU 120 determines the type of other preview performance based on the variation pattern using the table shown in FIG. 9-4(E) (063FS005). Next, the performance control CPU 120 sets various performances to be executed (063FS006), and ends the process.

Next, the determination ratio of the types and contents of various effects in the feature section 065F as another embodiment will be explained. FIG. 9-6 is an example of the determination ratio of the types and contents of various effects in the feature section 065F. In FIG. 9-6, the parts other than FIG. 9-6(B) are the same as those in FIG. 9-4 described above, so the explanation will be omitted.

FIG. 9-6(B) is a table for explaining the determination ratio of the first predetermined performance executed as the suggestion performance. As shown in FIG. 9-6(B), the execution rate of the first predetermined performance is different depending on whether it is a jackpot or a loss. For example, if the display result is a failure, a 60% ratio is determined for no execution, and a 40% ratio for execution is determined. Furthermore, if the displayed result is a jackpot, it is determined at a rate of 40% without execution, and at a rate of 60% with execution. In other words, it can be said that the expectation of a jackpot is higher when the first predetermined effect is executed than when it is not executed.

Furthermore, there are three types of patterns in the color of the treasure box displayed as the first predetermined effect. The color of the treasure box and the execution time of each predetermined performance are determined according to the fluctuation pattern. In variation patterns #13 and #18, the treasure chest is displayed in white, the first predetermined effect is executed for 10 seconds, the second predetermined effect is then executed for 3 seconds, and the third predetermined effect is then executed for 5 seconds. . In variation patterns #14 and #19, the treasure chest is displayed in red, the first predetermined effect is executed for 10 seconds, the second predetermined effect is then executed for 3 seconds, and the third predetermined effect is then executed for 15 seconds. . In variation patterns #15 and #20, the treasure chest is displayed in gold, the first predetermined effect is executed for 10 seconds, the second predetermined effect is then executed for 3 seconds, and the third predetermined effect is then executed for 25 seconds. . In FIG. 9-6(B), the size of the treasure box is the same depending on each variation pattern, but the color of the treasure box is different.

As shown in FIG. 9-6(B), the first predetermined effect is executed in the shape of a common treasure box regardless of the type of specific preview effect. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 9-6(B), the execution period of the second predetermined performance is 3 seconds regardless of the type of specific preview performance, while the execution period of the third predetermined performance is 3 seconds depending on the type of specific preview performance. The execution period is different from 5 seconds, 15 seconds, and 25 seconds. In this way, the effect of the suggestive presentation can be enhanced. Further, as shown in FIG. 9-6(B), the execution period of the third predetermined effect is 10 seconds, which is longer than the execution period of the second predetermined effect, which is 3 seconds. In this way, the performance effect during the period in which the third predetermined performance is performed can be enhanced.

[Main configurations and effects obtained by feature part 063F]
[1] A gaming machine (for example, Pachinko gaming machine 1) that can be controlled to an advantageous state (for example, a jackpot gaming state) that is advantageous to the player, and a plurality of types of notices suggesting that the control will be controlled to the advantageous state. A preview performance execution means (for example, a performance control CPU 120) capable of executing a performance (for example, a roulette notice, a character battle notice, a card notice, a symbol notice, a step-up notice, a line notice), and one of the plurality of types of notice performances. Execute a suggestive performance that suggests the execution of a specific preview performance (for example, a roulette preview, a character battle preview, a card preview performance) (for example, a suggestive performance that suggests the execution of a specific preview performance shown in Figure 9-1 (A)) A possible suggesting effect execution means (for example, the CPU 120 for effect control) is provided, and the specific preview effect is displayed as a result of the specific preview effect (for example, the card shown in FIG. 9-2 (J)). The first part of the effect (for example, the effect of displaying the three cards shown in FIGS. 9-2(D) and (E)) is executed before the content is shown, and the first part of the effect is executed before the first part of the effect is completed. The second part of the effect is executed after the above effect is displayed until the result of the effect is displayed (for example, the effect of selecting one card from three cards as shown in FIGS. 9-2 (F) to (I)) The suggestive effect includes a first predetermined effect (for example, FIG. 9-1(A), FIG. 9-2(B), As shown in (C), a presentation that displays a treasure chest that is executed at a timing before the start of the first section presentation) and a second predetermined presentation that is executed at a timing related to the start of the first section presentation. Performances (for example, as shown in Figures 9-1 (A), 9-2 (D), and (E), when the first part performance starts, a key is displayed and the key is put in the keyhole) , a third predetermined performance executed at a timing related to the start of the second part performance (for example, as shown in FIGS. 9-1(A) and 9-2(F) to (I), the second part (a performance in which a treasure box opens and a character jumps out from inside when the performance is started), and the suggestive performance execution means is configured to perform a process when another preview performance is being executed at a timing before the specific preview performance. The first predetermined effect can be executed (for example, as shown in FIG. 9-2 (C
), the first predetermined effect is executed while the dialogue preview is being executed), and the third predetermined effect is executed in a more conspicuous manner than the second predetermined effect (for example, the second predetermined effect is displayed on the screen). The exception to this is the effect of putting a key into a keyhole at the far left, whereas the third predetermined effect is a conspicuous effect in which the character jumps out of the treasure box with a loud "gashan" sound when the treasure chest is opened), the above-mentioned Part 1 effect The third predetermined effect is performed in a more conspicuous manner (for example, while the first part effect is a effect of displaying three cards, the third predetermined effect is a big "gashaan" effect when the treasure chest is opened). (This is a conspicuous performance in which a character jumps out of a treasure box along with a sound), and the specific preview performance has a higher degree of expectation that it will be controlled to the advantageous state than the other preview performances (for example, in Figures 9-4(A) and (E) ), the specific preview effects are selected only when the super reach fluctuates, but other preview effects are selected even when the super reach fluctuates and the low-expected normal reach fluctuates. (higher expectation of jackpot than the preview performance), the preview performance execution means can execute a performance that suggests that any one of the plurality of performance modes will be selected as the first part performance. (For example, as shown in Figure 9-4 (A), a roulette preview in which you select one of the items, a character battle in which you select one from multiple enemy characters, and a card preview in which you select one of several cards) The ratio of which presentation mode is selected differs depending on whether or not the suggestion presentation is executed (as shown in Figure 9-4 (D), as a suggestion presentation (The proportion of performance modes selected in each specific preview performance differs depending on whether or not the first predetermined performance is executed.) According to such a configuration, by linking the second predetermined performance in the suggestive performance and the first part performance in the specific preview performance, it is possible to easily make the player recognize the target specific preview performance.

[2] Further comprising a display area in which the preview performance and the suggestion performance are displayed (for example, a display area on the screen of the image display device 5 where the preview performance and the suggestion performance are executed), wherein the display area in which the suggestion performance is displayed in the display area The area where the effect is executed is a different area from the area where the preview effect is executed (for example, the lower left area of the screen where the suggestion effect is executed for a long period of time in the display area is where the preview effect is executed). (in a different area from the center area of the screen). According to such a configuration, various performances using the display area can be executed in a form that allows the player to easily confirm the connection between the second predetermined performance in the suggestion performance and the first part performance in the preview performance.

[3] In the specific preview performance when the suggestion performance is executed, the performance result exceeding a predetermined expectation level is displayed (for example, as shown in FIG. 9-4(B), as a suggestion performance The first predetermined effect is more likely to be executed in the case of a jackpot than in the case of a loss.As shown in FIG. 9-4 (D), when the first predetermined effect is executed, the first predetermined effect is executed. The content of SP reach A, enemy character A, and SP reach that would be selected when exceeds a predetermined level of expectation). According to such a configuration, it is possible to prevent interest from decreasing due to the performance result of the specific preview performance having a low level of expectation even though the suggestive performance has been executed. .

[4] Depending on the length of the period in which the first predetermined effect is executed, the degree of expectation to be controlled to the advantageous state differs (for example, as shown in FIG. 9-4(B), the degree of expectation varies The longer the pattern, the longer the execution period of the first predetermined effect). According to such a configuration, it is possible to draw attention to the length of the execution period of the first predetermined effect until the second predetermined effect is executed.

[5] The execution period of the first predetermined effect is a variable period, while the execution period of the second predetermined effect and the third predetermined effect are fixed periods (for example, as shown in FIG. 9-4(B) The execution period of the first predetermined effect is variable, such as 10 seconds, 20 seconds, and 30 seconds, while the execution period of the second predetermined effect is 3 seconds, and the execution period of the third predetermined effect is constant at 10 seconds. period). According to such a configuration, since the second predetermined performance and the third predetermined performance are fixed periods, the second predetermined performance and the third predetermined performance can be easily recognized by the player, and the second predetermined performance By executing this, it is possible to make it easier to recognize that execution of the specific preview performance (first part performance) has started.

[6] The third predetermined performance ends before the specific preview performance ends (for example, as shown in FIG. 9-1(A), the third predetermined performance is performed at a timing before the specific preview performance ends). ). According to such a configuration, it is possible to grasp the content of the specific preview performance without being disturbed by the third predetermined performance.

[7] When the above-mentioned suggestion effect is executed, the execution rate of effects in which the effect is not displayed as the specific preview effect is low (for example, as shown in FIG. 9-4(C), when the specific preview effect is executed The first predetermined effect pattern in which the effect result is not displayed at a low rate is executed only when the normal reach is off the fluctuation pattern.In other words, the first predetermined effect effect pattern is executed when the specific preview effect is executed. Therefore, when the first predetermined performance is executed, a performance in which the performance results of the specific preview performance are displayed at a high rate is performed). According to such a configuration, it is possible to prevent interest from decreasing due to the performance result of the specific preview performance not being displayed even though the suggestive performance has been executed.

[Main configurations and effects obtained by feature part 064F]
[1] A gaming machine (for example, Pachinko gaming machine 1) that can be controlled to an advantageous state (for example, a jackpot gaming state) that is advantageous to the player, and a plurality of types of notices suggesting that the control will be controlled to the advantageous state. A preview performance execution means (for example, a performance control CPU 120) capable of executing a performance (for example, a roulette notice, a character battle notice, a card notice, a symbol notice, a step-up notice, a line notice), and one of the plurality of types of notice performances. Execute a suggestive performance that suggests the execution of a specific preview performance (for example, a roulette preview, a character battle preview, a card preview performance) (for example, a suggestive performance that suggests the execution of a specific preview performance shown in Figure 9-1 (A)) A possible suggesting effect execution means (for example, the CPU 120 for effect control) is provided, and the specific preview effect is displayed as a result of the specific preview effect (for example, the card shown in FIG. 9-2 (J)). The first part of the effect (for example, the effect of displaying the three cards shown in FIGS. 9-2(D) and (E)) is executed before the content is shown, and the first part of the effect is executed before the first part of the effect is completed. The second part of the effect is executed after the above effect is displayed until the result of the effect is displayed (for example, the effect of selecting one card from three cards as shown in FIGS. 9-2 (F) to (I)) The suggestive effect includes a first predetermined effect (for example, FIG. 9-1(A), FIG. 9-2(B), As shown in (C), a presentation that displays a treasure chest that is executed at a timing before the start of the first section presentation) and a second predetermined presentation that is executed at a timing related to the start of the first section presentation. Performances (for example, as shown in Figures 9-1 (A), 9-2 (D), and (E), when the first part performance starts, a key is displayed and the key is put in the keyhole) , a third predetermined performance executed at a timing related to the start of the second part performance (for example, as shown in FIGS. 9-1(A) and 9-2(F) to (I), the second part (a performance in which a treasure box opens and a character jumps out from inside when the performance is started), and the suggestive performance execution means is configured to perform a process when another preview performance is being executed at a timing before the specific preview performance. The first predetermined effect can be executed (for example, as shown in FIG. 9-2(C), the first predetermined effect is executed while the dialogue preview is being executed), and the third predetermined effect is executed in the first predetermined effect. It can be executed in a manner that suggests the specific preview performance to a higher degree than the production (for example, the specific preview production shown in FIG. 9-2 ( It is easier to recognize that the specific preview performance is being performed with the third predetermined performance in which the character jumps out of the treasure box with a loud "gashan" sound when the treasure chest is opened, as shown in F) to (I). The first predetermined performance can be executed in different manners depending on the type of the specific preview performance, which is provided in plural types (for example, as shown in FIG. 9-4(A), The specific preview performance to be executed according to the variation pattern is determined. Further, as shown in FIG. 9-4(B), the size of the treasure box displayed as the first predetermined effect is determined by the variation pattern. In other words, the first predetermined effect is performed with a treasure box in a different manner depending on the type of the specific preview effect), and the specific preview effect is performed after the first predetermined effect is started depending on the type of the first predetermined effect. The length of the period until the first predetermined effect is executed differs (for example, as shown in FIG. (The period from the start of the predetermined performance to the execution of the specific preview performance is different). According to such a configuration, by linking the second predetermined performance in the suggestive performance and the first part performance in the specific preview performance, it is possible to easily make the player recognize the target specific preview performance, and also to make the player recognize the target specific preview performance. As the performance progresses, the target of the preview becomes clearer and the effect of the suggestive performance can be enhanced.

[2] The execution period of the third predetermined effect is longer than the execution period of the second predetermined effect (for example, as shown in FIG. 9-4(B), the execution period of the third predetermined effect is 10 seconds. , longer than 3 seconds of the execution period of the second predetermined effect). According to such a configuration, the performance effect during the period in which the third predetermined performance is performed can be enhanced.

[3] The degree of expectation to be controlled to the advantageous state differs depending on the execution period of the suggestive effect (for example, as shown in FIG. 9-4(B), the first predetermined effect and the second predetermined effect as the suggestive effect) The total period of the performance and the third predetermined performance is longer for a variation pattern with a higher degree of expectation). According to such a configuration, it is possible to draw attention to the execution period of the suggestion effect, and it is possible to enhance the effect of the suggestion effect.

[4] Depending on the type of the specific preview performance, the execution rate of the other preview performances that are executed before the third predetermined performance is executed differs (for example, as shown in FIG. 9-4(A) , the types of specific preview effects that are executed differ depending on the type of variation pattern.Also, as shown in Figure 9-4 (E), the execution rate of other preview effects varies depending on the type of variation pattern. (In other words, the execution rate of other preview performances differs depending on the type of specific preview performance.) According to such a configuration, it is possible to suitably execute other preview performances depending on the type of specific preview performance.

[5] A pattern in which the second predetermined effect is not performed after the first predetermined effect is executed may be executed, and when the pattern is executed, the execution period of the first predetermined effect is less than the predetermined period. (For example, as shown in Figure 9-1 (B), a false pattern in which the second predetermined effect is not executed after the first predetermined effect is executed is that the length of the execution period of the first predetermined effect is longer than the specific preview effect. (shorter than the length of the execution period of the first predetermined effect when the first predetermined effect is executed). According to such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the execution period of the first predetermined effect from becoming too long, making the player have excessive expectations, and reducing interest.

[6] The suggestive effect execution means can start executing the third predetermined effect at a timing that overlaps with the period in which the second predetermined effect is being executed (for example, as shown in the modified example, (The third predetermined effect may be executed at a timing that overlaps with the period in which the second predetermined effect is being performed.) According to such a configuration, it is possible to execute the suggestive effect without making the connection between the second predetermined effect and the third predetermined effect feel strange.

[Main configurations and effects obtained by feature part 065F]
[1] A gaming machine (for example, Pachinko gaming machine 1) that can be controlled to an advantageous state (for example, a jackpot gaming state) that is advantageous to the player, and a plurality of types of notices suggesting that the control will be controlled to the advantageous state. A preview performance execution means (for example, a performance control CPU 120) capable of executing a performance (for example, a roulette notice, a character battle notice, a card notice, a symbol notice, a step-up notice, a line notice), and one of the plurality of types of notice performances. Suggestive effects (for example, Fig. 9
-1 (A) Suggestion performance suggesting execution of the specific preview performance); The first part of the performance (for example, Figures 9-2 (D) and (E)) is executed before the performance result is displayed (for example, the contents of the card shown in Figure 9-2 (J) are displayed). 9-2 (F) to (I ), the suggesting effect is a first predetermined effect executed at a timing before the first part effect is started. Performance (for example, as shown in Figures 9-1 (A), 9-2 (B), and (C), a performance that displays a treasure chest that is executed before the first part of the performance starts) and a second predetermined effect (for example, as shown in FIGS. 9-1(A), 9-2(D), and (E), the first part effect is executed at a timing related to the start of the first part effect). A performance in which a key is displayed and the key is put into the keyhole when the part performance starts) and a third predetermined performance executed at a timing related to the start of the second part performance (for example, FIG. 9-1(A)) , As shown in FIGS. 9-2(F) to (I), when the second part effect is started, a treasure box opens and a character jumps out from inside), and the suggestive effect execution means includes the above-mentioned The first predetermined performance can be executed when another preview performance is being executed at a timing before the specific preview performance (for example, as shown in Figure 9-2 (C), the first predetermined performance can be 1 predetermined effect), and the third predetermined effect can be executed in a manner that suggests the specific preview effect to a higher degree than the first predetermined effect (for example, as shown in FIG. 9-2(B) Rather than the first predetermined effect in which a treasure box as shown in Figures 9-2 (F) to (I) is opened, the character jumps out of the treasure box with a loud "gashan" sound when the treasure chest is opened as shown in Figures 9-2 (F) to (I). (The predetermined effect is executed in a manner that makes it easier to recognize that the specific notice effect is being executed), but regardless of which of the plurality of types of specific notice effects are provided, the specified notice effect is executed in a common manner. A first predetermined effect can be executed (for example, as shown in FIG. 9-6(B), the first predetermined effect is executed in a common treasure box shape regardless of the type of specific preview effect), and While the execution period of the second predetermined effect is the same regardless of the type of effect, the execution period of the third predetermined effect differs depending on the type of the specific preview effect (for example, as shown in FIG. 9-6(B) As shown, the execution period of the second predetermined effect is 3 seconds regardless of the type of specific notice effect, while the execution period of the third predetermined effect is 5 seconds, 15 seconds, or 15 seconds depending on the type of specific notice effect. (different from 25 seconds). According to such a configuration, by linking the second predetermined performance in the suggestive performance and the first part performance in the specific preview performance, it is possible to easily make the player recognize the target specific preview performance, and also to make the player recognize the target specific preview performance. As the performance progresses, the target of the preview becomes clearer and the effect of the suggestive performance can be enhanced.

[2] The execution period of the third predetermined effect is longer than the execution period of the second predetermined effect (for example, as shown in FIG. 9-6(B), the execution period of the third predetermined effect is 10 seconds. , longer than 3 seconds of the execution period of the second predetermined effect). According to such a configuration, the performance effect during the period in which the third predetermined performance is performed can be enhanced.

[3] The degree of expectation to be controlled to the advantageous state differs depending on the execution period of the suggestive effect (for example, as shown in FIG. 9-6(B), the first predetermined effect and the second predetermined effect as the suggestive effect) The total period of the performance and the third predetermined performance is longer for a variation pattern with a higher degree of expectation). According to such a configuration, it is possible to draw attention to the execution period of the suggestion effect, and it is possible to enhance the effect of the suggestion effect.

[4] Depending on the type of the specific preview performance, the execution rate of the other preview performances that are executed before the third predetermined performance is executed differs (for example, as shown in FIG. 9-6(A) , the types of specific preview effects to be executed differ depending on the type of variation pattern.Also, as shown in Figure 9-6(E), the execution rate of other preview effects varies depending on the type of variation pattern. (In other words, the execution rate of other preview performances differs depending on the type of specific preview performance.) According to such a configuration, other preview effects can be suitably executed depending on the type of specific preview effect.

[5] A pattern in which the second predetermined effect is not performed after the first predetermined effect is executed may be executed, and when the pattern is executed, the execution period of the first predetermined effect is less than the predetermined period. (For example, as shown in Figure 9-1 (B), a false pattern in which the second predetermined effect is not executed after the first predetermined effect is executed is that the length of the execution period of the first predetermined effect is longer than the specific preview effect. (shorter than the length of the execution period of the first predetermined effect when the first predetermined effect is executed). According to such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the execution period of the first predetermined effect from becoming too long, making the player have excessive expectations, and reducing interest.

[6] The suggestive effect execution means can start executing the third predetermined effect at a timing that overlaps with the period in which the second predetermined effect is being executed (for example, as shown in the modified example, (The third predetermined effect may be executed at a timing that overlaps with the period in which the second predetermined effect is being performed.) According to such a configuration, it is possible to execute the suggestive effect without making the connection between the second predetermined effect and the third predetermined effect feel strange.

[Other modifications of characteristic parts 063F to 065F]
[1] In the embodiment described above, the first predetermined performance as the suggestion performance may be executed as a pre-read preview performance for a period spanning a plurality of variations. For example, the image of the treasure box may be displayed from the variation display before the variation of the target that is executed by the specific preview effect is executed. Further, the image of the treasure box as the first predetermined effect may be displayed at different timings depending on whether or not the change in the target results in a jackpot. Further, the color and shape may be different depending on whether or not the fluctuation of the target results in a jackpot.

[2] In the embodiment described above, a performance may be performed that incites whether or not the second part performance or the third predetermined performance will be performed. For example, in a performance using an image of a key as a second predetermined performance, a key is displayed, but by inserting and removing the key into a treasure chest, a performance is performed to incite whether or not the treasure box opens, and a third predetermined performance is performed in which the treasure box opens. You may try to provoke it. As a result, the third predetermined performance that is executed at a timing related to the start of the second part performance is stimulated, so that the execution of the second part performance can be stimulated. Note that when the second predetermined performance is in progress, the duration of the first part performance becomes longer. In such a case, for example, the period during which the cards are shuffled as the first performance may be lengthened.

[3] In the above-described embodiment, the specific preview effect or the suggestion effect may be executed by a means other than the display means such as the image display device 5. For example, a specific notice effect or suggestion effect may be executed using sounds, lamps, or the like. Further, the manner in which the presentation stands out may be that it stands out due to display, sound, or light, or a combination thereof. In addition, the manner in which it is easy to recognize that the specific notice performance is being executed may be that it is easy to recognize by display, easy to recognize by sound, easy to recognize by light, or a combination thereof. You can. Further, the volume and the amount of light may be changed at the change timing of the first predetermined effect, the second predetermined effect, and the third predetermined effect, and the change timing of the effect in the first part effect and the second part effect. Furthermore, the volume or amount of light may increase as the performance progresses.

[4] In the embodiment described above, the display area where the suggestion effect is executed and the area where the preview effect is executed may be completely separated. In this way, each effect using the display area can be clearly shown. Furthermore, if the format is such that it is easy for the player to confirm the connection between the second predetermined performance in the suggestion performance and the first part performance in the preview performance, the display area where the suggestion performance is performed and the display area where the preview performance is performed may be may overlap.

[5] In the embodiment described above, in FIG. 9-4(B), the execution period of the first predetermined effect differed depending on the variation pattern. Furthermore, in FIG. 9-6(B), the execution period of the third predetermined effect differed depending on the variation pattern. However, the execution period of the second predetermined effect may vary depending on the variation pattern. Moreover, one or more execution periods of the first predetermined period, the second predetermined period, and the third predetermined period may be made to differ depending on the variation pattern.

[6] In the embodiment described above, the third predetermined performance has ended by the time the performance result of the specific preview performance is displayed. Here, a plurality of timings at which the third predetermined performance ends may be provided. Moreover, the jackpot expectation level may vary depending on the timing at which the third predetermined performance ends. Furthermore, the respective predetermined effects may be executed at overlapping timings. In such a case, the second predetermined performance may end later than the third predetermined performance.

[7] In the above-described embodiment, a pattern as shown in FIG. 9-1(B) in which the first predetermined effect is executed and the specific preview effect is not executed thereafter is shown as a fake pattern. However, a false pattern may be provided in which the specific preview performance is executed after the first predetermined performance, but the second part of the specific preview performance is not executed. That is, a fake pattern may be provided in which the first predetermined effect and the second predetermined effect are executed in the suggestion effect, and the first part effect is executed in the specific preview effect. Furthermore, a false pattern may be provided in which the effect results are not displayed for other preview effects that are executed while the first predetermined effect is being executed.

[8] In the embodiment described above, as shown in FIG. 9-6(D), the performance content that is not executed as the specific preview performance in the case where the first predetermined performance is executed and the case where the first predetermined performance is not executed. was there. However, although the number of performance contents determined in the case where the first predetermined performance is executed and the case where the first predetermined performance is not executed is the same, the contents may be different. For example, when the first predetermined performance is executed, performance contents with higher jackpot expectations than when the second predetermined performance is not executed may be displayed on the screen as a selection item.

[9] In the embodiment described above, the execution periods of the first predetermined effect, the second predetermined effect, and the third predetermined effect as the suggestion effects may overlap. Further, the execution periods of the first part performance and the second part performance as the specific preview performance may overlap. For example, the third predetermined effect may be executed at a timing that overlaps with the period in which the second predetermined effect is being executed. In this way, it is possible to execute the suggestive effect without making the connection between the second predetermined effect and the third predetermined effect feel strange.

[10] In the embodiment described above, the second predetermined effect is executed at a timing related to the start of the first part effect, and the third predetermined effect is executed at a timing related to the start of the second part effect. The related timing may be the following timing. For example, the timing related to the start means that either one of the effects is executed at the same timing as the other effect, or that the other effect is executed immediately after one effect is executed. Good too.

[11] In the embodiment described above, the types of other preview performances to be performed before the specific preview performance are determined in different manners depending on whether or not the first predetermined performance (suggestive performance) is executed. You can. For example, when the first predetermined performance is executed, the execution rate of the performance with high jackpot expectation may be made higher than when the first predetermined performance is not executed. In addition, on the contrary, since the specific preview performance is a performance with a high expectation level, when the first predetermined performance is executed, the execution rate of the performance with a low jackpot expectation is higher than when the first predetermined performance is not executed. It may be made higher. Furthermore, other preview performances may be executed multiple times before the specific preview performance, and the number of times the other preview performances are executed may vary depending on the expected level of jackpot.

[12] In the embodiment described above, the effect determining process in the feature section 011SH and the effect determining process in the feature section 063F may be executed as a common process. In such a case, any one effect may be determined according to the variation pattern.

[13] Although the pachinko gaming machine 1 has been illustrated as an example of a gaming machine, the embodiment described above is not limited to this. Multiple types of symbols are rotated according to the operation, and when the symbols are stopped according to the player's operation of the stop button, if the combination of the stopped symbols becomes a specific combination of symbols, a predetermined number of medals will be given to the player. It may also be applied to slot machines that pay out money. For example, when applied to such a slot machine, bonuses that are advantageous to the player, AT (a state in which the player is notified of the operation procedure for operating the stop button), and CZ (a state in which the player is informed of the operating procedure for operating the stop button), and CZ (an advantageous state related to control over AT that is in the notification state) A suggestive effect is executed when a specific preview effect is executed as a effect suggesting that the transition is or will be transitioned to ART (a state where the probability is high), ART (a state where the AT + RT is a high replay probability), etc. You can do it like this.
