In the gaming machine of this embodiment, when two or more types of winning combinations are won in duplicate, the lottery flags corresponding to each of the two or more winning combinations are set to a winning state. Note that the lottery flag setting information is stored in a lottery flag storage area 1915 provided in the main RAM of the game information storage means 190a.

Furthermore, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, there is a lottery flag (carryover flag) that allows the winning state to be carried over to subsequent games until a prize is won, and a lottery flag (carry-over flag) that allows the winning state to be carried over to subsequent games regardless of whether or not a prize is won. A lottery flag (non-carryover flag) that is reset to a winning state is provided. A big bonus (BB) is a winning combination that is associated with the former flag that can be carried over, and a small winning combination and a replay are associated with a flag that cannot be carried over. That is, in the lottery flag setting process, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the internal lottery, the winning state of the lottery flag for the big bonus (BB) is carried over until the big bonus (BB) is won. At this time, the internal lottery means 120 performs an internal lottery to determine the success or failure of small winning combinations and replays even in games where the winning state of the big bonus (BB) lottery flag is carried over. In other words, in the lottery flag setting process, in a game where the winning state of the Big Bonus (BB) lottery flag is carried over, if a small role or replay is won, the lottery flag of the Big Bonus (BB) that has already been won is changed. Lottery flags corresponding to two or more types of winning combinations consisting of a small winning combination won in an internal lottery and a replay lottery flag are set in a winning state.

Then, when the stop switch 240 is actuated by the player pressing the stop buttons B1 to B3 in a state where the stop operations for the stop buttons B1 to B3 are enabled, the reel control means 130 causes the stop switch 240 to stop the reels. Based on the signal, a driving pulse for all-phase excitation is supplied to the stepping motor of the reel unit 310, thereby controlling to stop each of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3.

That is, each time each of the stop buttons B1 to B3 is pressed, the reel control means 130 determines the stop position of the reel corresponding to the pressed button among the first reel R1 to third reel R3, and determines the stop position of the reel corresponding to the pressed button. The reel is controlled to stop at the stopped position. In the gaming machine of this embodiment, pressing the stop button (first stop operation means) B1 corresponds to an operation for stopping the first reel R1, and pressing the stop button (second stop operation means) B2 corresponds to the operation for stopping the first reel R1. Doing corresponds to an operation for stopping the second reel R2, and pressing down the stop button (third stop operation means) B3 corresponds to an operation for stopping the third reel R3. That is, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, when the order in which the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed changes, the order in which the first reel R1 to third reel R3 are stopped changes.

Furthermore, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, for the first reel R1 to the third reel R3, the rotating reel corresponding to the pressed stop button stops within 190 ms from the time when the stop button B1 to B3 is pressed. It looks like this. If the rotating reels are stopped within 190ms from the time the stop button is pressed, the stopping position of each rotating reel is such that the number of frames required from the time the stop button is pressed until the reel stops is 0 frames. It is determined in the range of ~4 frames (predetermined pull-in range). Then, the reel control means 130 causes the symbol corresponding to the winning combination in the internal lottery to be displayed on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating reel corresponding to the stop button that has been pressed among the stop buttons B1 to B3. If the button is located within the range of 0 frames to 4 frames with respect to the display position on the active line at the time of the pressing operation, the symbol corresponding to the winning combination whose lottery flag is set to the winning state will be displayed on the active line. As displayed in the upper display position, control is performed to stop the rotating reel corresponding to the stop button that is pressed.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the red 7 symbol "Red 7" and the blue 7 symbol "Blue 7" are displayed on the outer peripheral surfaces of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 constituting the reel unit 310. , BAR symbol "BAR", replay symbol "RP", bell symbol A "BLA", bell symbol B "BLB", watermelon symbol "WM", cherry symbol "CH", dummy symbol 1 "DUM1", and dummy symbol 2 "DUM2" is arranged, and if the symbols constituting the winning form of the winning combination are arranged at intervals of 4 frames or less on the outer circumferential surface of the reels, when the stop switch 240 is activated (the press of the stop button is detected) It is possible to display it on the effective line regardless of the press detection position, which is the position of the reel at the time (time point).

In the gaming machine of this embodiment, the reel unit 310 is equipped with a reel index 315 made of a photo sensor, and the reel control means 130 operates based on a reference position signal detected by the reel index 315 every time the reel rotates once. By determining the rotation angle (the number of rotation steps of the rotation axis of the stepping motor) from the reel reference position (frame detected by the reel index 315), the current rotation state of the reel can be monitored. It has become. That is, the reel control means 130 can obtain the position of the reel when the stop switch 240 is activated by determining the rotation angle of the reel from the reference position.

Further, the reel control means 130 performs a process (table reference processing). In the stop control table, a correspondence relationship between a press detection position and an actual stop position is set according to the setting state of the lottery flag. In addition, in the stop control table, a correspondence relationship between the press detection position and the number of sliding pieces indicating the amount of rotation from the press detection position to the actual stop position may be set according to the setting state of the lottery flag.

In the stop control table that is referred to when any of batting order bells 1 to 6 is won in the internal lottery, as shown in FIG. A correct batting order is set in advance according to the type, and a pressing order different from the correct batting order is treated as an incorrect batting order. In this embodiment, the stop position relative to the press detection position is set so that if any batting order bell is won, a 15-piece small winning combination will be won in the correct playing order, and a 1-piece small winning combination will be won in the incorrect playing order. ing.

In addition, in the stop control table that is referenced when a weak cherry is won, the stop position is set relative to the press detection position so that one small winning combination is won, and in the stop control table that is referenced when a watermelon is won. , the stop position relative to the pressed detection position is set so that a 1-piece small winning combination is won, and in the stop control table that is referred to when a chance winning combination is won, the stop position relative to the pressed detection position is set so that a 1-piece small winning combination is won. The stop position is set, and in the stop control table that is referred to when a 3-card winning combination is won, the stopping position relative to the press detection position is set so that a 3-card minor winning combination is won, and a strong cherry is won. In the stop control table referred to in this case, the stop position relative to the press detection position is set so that there are cases where one small winning combination is won and cases where no winning combination is won (missed winning combination).

In addition, in the stop control table that is referenced when JAC1 is won, the stop position relative to the press detection position is set so that 15 small winnings are won, and in the stop control table that is referenced when JAC2 is won, The stop position relative to the press detection position is set so that one small winning combination is won.

The winning determining means 140 performs winning determining processing to determine whether or not a winning combination has been won based on the stopping manner of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. Specifically, while referring to the winning determination table stored in the winning determining table storage area 1912 provided in the main ROM of the game information storage means 190a, all of the first reel R1 to third reel R3 are stopped. It is determined whether the symbol combination displayed on the active line at the time is a winning form of a predetermined combination. Then, depending on the symbol combinations displayed on the active line when each reel is stopped, as shown in FIGS. A prize judging table is prepared to allow you to judge the winnings.

In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, a winning determination process is executed based on the determination result of the winning determining means 140. As the winning determination process, for example, the payout control means 150 performs a medal payout control process, the replay processing means 160 performs a replay process, and the game state transition control means 170 performs a state transition control process to shift the gaming state. will be held.

The payout control means 150 performs payout control processing regarding payout of medals according to game results. Specifically, when a small role wins, the number of medals to be paid out in the game is determined based on the payout determined in advance for each role, and the medals corresponding to the determined number of payouts are sent to the hopper unit 320 ( The dispensing device (dispensing device) controls dispensing.

The hopper unit 320 performs an operation of paying out the number of medals instructed by the payout control means 150. The hopper unit 320 is equipped with a put-out medal detection switch 325 that operates every time one medal is put out. The system is configured so that the number of medals paid out can be managed.

Note that when crediting (internal storage) of medals is permitted, instead of actually paying out medals by the hopper unit 320, the medals are stored in the credit information storage area 1914 provided in the main RAM of the game information storage means 190a. A process of virtually paying out medals is performed by performing a credit addition process of adding the number of payouts to the number of credits (number of credited medals).

A replay processing means 160 performs replay processing (replay processing) for setting the next game to the same preparation state as the previous game without requiring the insertion of medals owned by the player when the replay wins. In other words, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, when a replay wins, the same number of medals as the number set in the input state in the previous game (the game in which the replay won) is transferred to the player's own medals ( An automatic insertion process is performed in which coins (including credit medals) are automatically inserted without using them, and the player waits for the next game start operation on the start lever SL with the same active line as the previous game set.

As shown in FIG. 9, the gaming state transition control means 170 performs a gaming state transition control process for shifting the gaming state between a normal state, a bonus established state, and a bonus state. In this embodiment, information indicating the gaming state in which the player is staying is stored in a state storage area 1916 provided in the main RAM of the gaming information storage means 190a. As the gaming state transition condition, one condition or a plurality of conditions may be determined. If multiple conditions are defined, the gaming state is determined based on the fulfillment of one of the multiple predefined conditions, or the fulfillment of all of the multiple predefined conditions. It is possible to move to another gaming state.

The normal state is a gaming state corresponding to an initial state among a plurality of types of gaming states, and it is possible to transition from the normal state to a bonus established state. Specifically, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the normal state, the state shifts to the bonus established state. In addition, in the normal state, among the internal lottery tables 1 to 3 shown in FIG. 3, the replay winning probability is set to about 1/7.3, and the big bonus (BB) is set as the lottery target. An internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table 1.

The bonus established state is a gaming state that is transitioned to when a big bonus (BB) is won in an internal lottery. In the bonus established state, the replay winning probability is set to approximately 1/3.9 among internal lottery tables 1 to 3 shown in FIG. An internal lottery is performed with reference to lottery table 2.

In addition, in the bonus winning state, the lottery flag corresponding to the big bonus (BB) is maintained in the winning state until the big bonus (BB) is won, and the symbol combination indicating the winning form of the big bonus (BB) is displayed on the active line. Then, the gaming state transition control means 170 shifts the gaming state from the bonus established state to the bonus state.

The bonus state is a gaming state that changes when a symbol combination representing a winning form of the big bonus (BB) is displayed on an active line. In the bonus state, an internal lottery is performed with reference to internal lottery table 3 among internal lottery tables 1 to 3 shown in FIG.

In addition, in the bonus state, it is determined whether the end condition is satisfied based on the total number of medals paid out in the bonus state, and if more than a predetermined number of medals (for example, 100 medals) are paid out, the game ends. The state transition control means 170 performs control to end the bonus state and return the gaming state to the normal state. In this embodiment, the condition for ending the bonus state is determined by the total number of medals paid out, but the condition for ending the bonus state may be determined by the number of games played in the bonus state or the number of winnings of small winning combinations. Further, the bonus state may be such that the termination condition is set such that the bonus condition can be terminated after one game.

In addition, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, in a bonus established state, when both a big bonus (BB) and a small winning combination are won, the small winning combination is given priority over the symbols constituting the winning form of the big bonus (BB). The symbols that make up the form are displayed on the active line, and when the Big Bonus (BB) and Replay are both won, the spinning reels are stopped so that the Replay wins before the Big Bonus (BB). The Big Bonus (BB) will be won only if you lose in the internal lottery.

In addition, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, in the normal state and the bonus established state, a plurality of types of first winning modes (batting order level 1 to batting order Bell 6), and in the bonus state, there is a second winning mode (JAC1) in which multiple types of correct small winning combinations are won in duplicate, and in the bonus state, the internal lottery The probability of becoming the second winning mode is lower than the probability of becoming one of the first winning modes of multiple types in the internal lottery in the normal state and the bonus established state, and the winning probability of each of the multiple types of correct small roles is lower than the probability of winning in the normal state and the bonus established state. An internal lottery is conducted to ensure that the bonus is higher than the state in which the bonus is established. In other words, in the bonus state of the present embodiment, the winning probability of each of the small winnings 1 to 6, which have a higher payout than the specified number of coins inserted (3 coins), is higher than in the normal state or the bonus formation state, and the winning probability of all the small winnings The probability is also higher than in the normal state and bonus established state, but the probability of obtaining the second winning mode (JAC1) including small winning combinations 1 to 6 with a higher payout than the specified number of inputs is higher than in the normal state and bonus winning state. Since the probability of obtaining the first winning mode (batting order bell 1 to batting order bell 6) including small winnings 1 to 6 is lower than the probability of obtaining medals in the bonus state (number of payouts/number of inputs) The expected value of can be set to less than 100%.

The benefit granting means 175 changes the performance state between multiple types of performance states including a non-AT state (normal performance state) and an AT state (special performance state, auxiliary performance state), and changes the performance state under predetermined conditions. is set to the AT state, and control is performed to end the AT state when the AT state end condition is met. In particular, in this embodiment, the performance state is changed in the bonus established state, and can be set to the AT state in the bonus established state. Further, in this embodiment, information indicating the performance state in which the player is staying is stored in the performance state storage area 1917 provided in the main RAM of the game information storage means 190a.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, when any one of the batting order bells is won in the AT state, the performance control means 180 displays an image corresponding to the correct batting order on the liquid crystal display LCD to notify the correct batting order and to reduce the number of 15 sheets. A winning assist performance is performed to assist the player in winning a winning role (correctly answered minor role), and it is possible to play an assist time game in which medals are more easily obtained than in a game staying in a non-AT state.

In the present embodiment, the benefit granting means 175 performs an AT lottery in response to winning a weak cherry, a strong cherry, a watermelon, or a chance prize in an internal lottery in the non-AT state, and based on the fact that the AT lottery has been won. to shift the presentation state to the AT state.

Further, the benefit granting means 175 performs a process of setting the value of the AT counter 1919 provided in the main RAM of the game information storage means 190a to a value corresponding to the initial number of games in the AT state based on winning the AT lottery. conduct. In this embodiment, the value set in the AT counter 1919 is set to, for example, "50" as a value corresponding to 50 games.

Then, the privilege granting means 175 updates the AT counter 1919 in the AT state. Specifically, each time a game is played in the AT state, a decrement update is performed in which a value (for example, 1) corresponding to one game count is subtracted from the value of the AT counter 1919. When the value of the AT counter 1919 reaches a threshold value (for example, 0), the AT state termination condition is met, the AT state is ended, and the performance state is shifted to the non-AT state.

In addition, the benefit granting means 175 performs an additional lottery upon winning a weak cherry, watermelon, strong cherry, or chance role in the internal lottery in the AT state, and based on the winning of the additional lottery, the AT counter 1919 Performs an addition process that adds a given value to the value.

When a predetermined period of time (for example, 2 frames) has elapsed since the start of the display process, an enlarged display process of the second navigation numeral display object IMG2 is performed to display the second navigation numeral display object IMG2 in the first size and enlarged to the second size. and when a predetermined period of time (for example, 2 frames) has elapsed since the start of the enlarged display process, the third navigation number display displays the third navigation number display object IMG3 in the first size and enlarges it to the second size. When the enlarged display process of the object IMG3 is started and the enlarged display process of the first navigation numeral display object IMG1 is completed, the enlarged display and reduced display of the first navigation numeral display object IMG1 are repeated. Performs scaling loop processing.

Further, in this embodiment, transparency (transmittance) may be set for the first navigation numeral display object IMG1, the second navigation numeral display object IMG2, and the third navigation numeral display object IMG3, and the higher the transparency, the more the image becomes Becomes transparent. For example, the transparency is set within a range of 0 to 100%, and 100% transparency means a completely transparent image and corresponds to a state in which the image is erased (not displayed).

In the present embodiment, when the navigation numerals IMG1 to 3 of "1", "2", and "3" appear in response to a game start operation on the start lever SL in the winning assist performance, these navigation numerals are displayed. The transparency of the displayed object is not changed.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11, from when the first navigation numeral display object IMG1 starts displaying "1" until the enlarged display ends at timing T2, the first navigation numeral display object IMG1 Without changing the transparency of IMG1, the transparency of the second navigation numeral display object IMG2 is changed from the start of the display of "2", which is the second navigation numeral display object IMG2, until the enlarged display ends at timing T4. The transparency of the third navigation numeral display object IMG3 is not changed from the start of the display of "3", which is the third navigation numeral display object IMG3, until the enlarged display ends at timing T5. ing. That is, in the process of enlarging and displaying each navigation numeral display object, the transparency of the navigation numeral display object to be enlarged is not changed, and the navigation numeral display object is displayed at a constant transparency (for example, 0%).

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, even after the enlarged display of each navigation numeral display object IMG1 to IMG3 is completed and the display is displayed in an enlarged/reduced loop display or at a constant size (second size), The transparency of the navigation numeral display object is not changed, but when the navigation numeral display object is enlarged and displayed, the enlargement/reduction loop display or a constant size (second size) is displayed. ).For example, when enlarging the navigation numeral display, the navigation numeral display may be displayed in a zoom loop or at a constant size after the navigation numeral display is enlarged. The navigation numeral display object to be enlarged may be displayed with higher or lower transparency than when it is displayed in the second size (second size).

In this way, in the winning assist performance of this embodiment, when a game start operation is performed on the start lever SL, the first navigation number display objects IMG1 to 3 of "1", "2", and "3" are moved to the stop button B1. The correct batting order is notified by displaying them at positions corresponding to B3. When the first stop operation is performed, the effect control means 180 changes the display mode so that the type of stop button to be operated next (second) can be easily understood. Specifically, when the stop operation on the stop button B2 is performed first (first) in the correct batting order (B2→B1→B3), the effect control means 180 causes the first navigation numeral display object IMG1 " 1" is erased, and the second navigation numeral display object IMG2, "2", is displayed in an enlarged manner.

In this embodiment, when erasing a navigation numeral display object in response to a stop operation, the navigation numeral display object to be erased is once enlarged and then displayed in a reduced size to be erased.

Specifically, in the example shown in FIG. 10, for example, as shown in FIG. When the first stop operation (stop button B2) is performed in accordance with the correct batting order at the timing when the size is being displayed, as shown in FIG. 12(B), "1", which is the first navigation number display object IMG1, is is enlarged to the second size (for example, 100% display magnification), and when the enlarged display is finished, the display is enlarged to the minimum size (for example, 0% display magnification: minimum) as shown in FIGS.

The display of the disappearance effect (first effect) of IMG3 is started, and even after the erasure of the third navigation numeral display object IMG3 is completed, the disappearance effect of the third navigation numeral display object IMG3 is displayed.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 23, when the enlarged display of the third navigation numeral display object IMG3 is started at the timing T0 (when the third stop operation is executed), the enlarged display of the third navigation number display object IMG3 is started at the timing T1 (one frame from T0). When the enlarged display of the third navigation numeral display object IMG3 ends (transition), the reduction display starts and the erasure of the third navigation numeral display object IMG3 starts, and at the timing of T2 (5 frames elapsed from T0), the third navigation numeral display object IMG3 ends. The reduced display of the number display object IMG3 is completed, and the erasure of the third navigation number display object IMG3 is completed. In this way, when the erasure of the third navigation numeral display object IMG3 starts at the timing T1 (one frame has passed since T0), the erasure of the third navigation numeral display object IMG3 starts at the timing T2 (five frames have passed since T0). finish.

In the present embodiment, the disappearance effect moving image (animation) of the third navigation numeral display object IMG3 is 7 frames longer than the display time (4 frames) required for reducing (erasing) the third navigation numeral display object IMG3. (7/30 seconds), and at timing T0 (when the third stop operation is executed), the enlarged display of the third navigation number display object IMG3 starts and the third navigation number display A disappearing effect display object IMG5 is displayed superimposed on the object IMG3, and the display of the disappearing effect of the third navigation numeral display object IMG3 (disappearance effect video image of the third navigation numeral display object IMG3) is started, and the third navigation numeral display When the display of the disappearance effect of the object IMG3 is started, the disappearance effect of the third navigation number display object IMG3 (disappearance effect video of the third navigation number display object IMG3) is displayed at the timing of T3 (7 frames have passed since T0). When the process ends, the disappearing effect display object IMG5 is erased.

In detail, as shown in FIG. 23, when the third stop operation is performed in the correct batting order in a game in which the winning assist effect is executed, the third navigation numeral display object IMG3 disappearing effect video is displayed. The disappearance effect display process of the third navigation number display object IMG3 is performed, and in the disappearance effect display process of the third navigation number display object IMG3, the third navigation number display object IMG3 is The display of the disappearance effect of the navigation numeral display object IMG3 is started, and the appearance effect of the third navigation numeral display object IMG3 is displayed even after the reduction display processing (erasure processing) of the third navigation numeral display object IMG3 is finished.

Note that the disappearance effect (display of disappearance effect image IMG5) of the third navigation numeral display object IMG3 is erased after a predetermined display time (7 frames) has elapsed, but even after the disappearance effect is erased, the third navigation numeral display object The disappearance effect display process of IMG3 is continuously executed until medals are inserted or bet button B0 is operated. When medals are inserted or bet button B0 is operated, third navigation number display object IMG3 disappears. Terminates effect display processing. Therefore, if a medal is inserted or the bet button B0 is operated before the disappearance effect is erased while the disappearance effect display process of the third navigation number display object IMG3 is being executed, the disappearance effect of the third navigation number display object IMG3 will be forcibly deleted. Here, the disappearance effect display process of the third navigation number display object IMG3 includes a winning determination process, a medal payout process, an operation on the payment button to perform an operation to calculate the medals credited (accumulated) in the gaming machine, or The execution continues until a game start operation is performed on the start lever SL, and when a winning determination process, a medal payout process, an operation on the settlement button, or a game start operation on the start lever SL is performed, the third navigation number display The disappearance effect display process of IMG3 may be ended.

As described above, in this embodiment, when the first, second, or third stop operation is performed according to the correct batting order in a game in which a winning assist effect is executed, the navigation number display corresponding to the stop operation is displayed. The navigation number display corresponding to the stop operation is immediately erased, and the display of the disappearance effect of the navigation number display object corresponding to the stop operation is started before the deletion of the navigation number display object corresponding to the stop operation is completed, and the navigation number display corresponding to the stop operation is Since the disappearance effect is displayed even after the object has been erased, it is possible to give a lingering effect to the disappearance of the navigation numeral display object corresponding to the stop operation, and it is possible to perform an effective performance.

In addition, in this embodiment, when the first stop operation is performed in accordance with the correct batting order in a game in which the winning assist effect is executed, a disappearance effect (first effect) of the first navigation numeral display object IMG1 corresponding to the stop operation is ), the display of the appearance effect (second effect) of the second navigation numeral display object IMG2 corresponding to the next operation stop operation is started, and the disappearance effect of the first navigation numeral display object IMG1 is erased. Even after this, the appearance effect of the second navigation number display object IMG2 is displayed.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 21, the disappearance effect video (animation) of the first navigation numeral display object IMG1 is longer than the display time (8 frames) required to display the appearance effect of the second navigation numeral display object IMG2. is also set to end in a short 7 frames (7/30 seconds), and at the timing of T0 (when the first stop operation is executed), the disappearing effect display object IMG5 is superimposed on the first navigation number display object IMG1. is displayed, and the display of the disappearance effect of the first navigation number display object IMG1 (disappearance effect video of the first navigation number display object IMG1) starts to be displayed, and at the same time, the effect display object appears superimposed on the second navigation number display object IMG2. When IMG4 is displayed and the appearance effect of the second navigation numeral display object IMG2 (appearance effect video of the second navigation numeral display object IMG2) starts to be displayed, the first The display of the disappearance effect of the navigation numeral display object IMG1 (the disappearance effect video image of the first navigation numeral display object IMG1) is finished, the disappearance effect display object IMG5 is erased, and at the timing of T5 (8 frames have passed from T0), the second The display of the appearance effect of the navigation numeral display object IMG2 (the appearance effect moving image of the second navigation numeral display object IMG2) is finished, and the appearance effect display object IMG4 is deleted.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 21, when the first stop operation is performed in accordance with the correct batting order in a game in which the winning assist effect is executed, the disappearance effect display process of the first navigation numeral display object IMG1 and the second navigation Appearance effect display processing of the number display object IMG2 is performed, and in the appearance effect display processing of the second navigation number display object IMG2, the second navigation number display object is displayed before the disappearance effect display processing of the first navigation number display object IMG1 is completed. The appearance effect of IMG2 is started to be displayed, and the appearance effect of second navigation number display object IMG2 is also displayed even after the disappearance effect display processing of first navigation number display object IMG1 is finished.

In addition, when the second stop operation is performed in accordance with the correct batting order in a game in which the winning assist effect is executed, the disappearance effect (first effect) of the second navigation number display object IMG2 corresponding to the stop operation is deleted. , starts displaying the appearance effect (second effect) of the third navigation number display object IMG3 corresponding to the stop operation to be performed next, and the third navigation display continues even after the disappearance effect of the second navigation number display object IMG2 is erased. The appearance effect of the number display object IMG3 is displayed.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 22, the disappearance effect video (animation) of the second navigation numeral display object IMG2 is longer than the display time (8 frames) required to display the appearance effect of the third navigation numeral display object IMG3. is also set to end in a short 7 frames (7/30 seconds), and at the timing of T0 (when the second stop operation is executed), the disappearing effect display object IMG5 is superimposed on the second navigation number display object IMG2. is displayed, and the display of the disappearance effect of the second navigation number display object IMG2 (disappearance effect video of the second navigation number display object IMG2) starts to be displayed, and at the same time, the effect display object appears superimposed on the third navigation number display object IMG3. When IMG4 is displayed and the appearance effect of the third navigation numeral display object IMG3 (appearance effect video image of the third navigation numeral display object IMG3) starts to be displayed, the second navigation numeral display object IMG3 appears at timing T4 (7 frames have elapsed from T0). The display of the disappearance effect of the navigation numeral display object IMG2 (the disappearance effect video image of the second navigation numeral display object IMG2) is finished, the disappearance effect display object IMG5 is erased, and at the timing of T5 (8 frames elapsed from T0), the third navigation numeral display object IMG2 disappears. The display of the appearance effect of the navigation numeral display object IMG3 (the appearance effect moving image of the third navigation numeral display object IMG3) is finished, and the appearance effect display object IMG4 is deleted.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 22, when the second stop operation is performed in accordance with the correct batting order in a game in which the winning assist effect is executed, the disappearance effect display process of the second navigation number display object IMG2 and the third navigation Appearance effect display processing of the number display object IMG3 is performed, and in the appearance effect display processing of the third navigation number display object IMG3, the third navigation number display object is displayed before the disappearance effect display processing of the second navigation number display object IMG2 is completed. The display of the appearance effect of IMG3 is started, and the appearance effect of the third navigation numeral display object IMG3 is displayed even after the disappearance effect display processing of the second navigation numeral display object IMG2 is finished.

As described above, in this embodiment, when the first or second stop operation is performed in accordance with the correct batting order in a game in which the winning assist effect is executed, the disappearing effect of the navigation number display object corresponding to the stop operation is changed to the next one. Since the navigation numeral display corresponding to the stop operation that should be operated is erased before the appearance effect, it is possible to prevent misunderstandings as to the type of stop button that should be operated next, and to perform an effective presentation. Can be done.

Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the navigation number display objects IMG1 to 3 of "1", "2", and "3" and the disappearing effect display object IMG5 are drawn on different layers, and the disappearing effect display object IMG5 is "1". , "2", and "3" are drawn in a layer higher than the layer in which the navigation numeral display objects IMG1 to IMG3 are drawn. For this reason, according to the present embodiment, when erasing the corresponding navigation numeral display object in response to a stop operation in a game in which a winning assistance effect is executed, it is made easier to recognize that the navigation numeral display object is erased. and can perform effectively.

In addition, in this embodiment, when a stop operation is performed in a pressing order different from the correct batting order in a game in which a winning assist effect is executed, the navigation number display object being displayed, the appearing effect display object IMG4 being displayed, and the When erasing the disappearing effect display object IMG5 and ending the winning assistance performance, and erasing the displayed navigation number display object when ending the winning assistance performance, reduce the displayed navigation number display object to the minimum size. In addition to reducing the display (for example, display magnification of 0%), the transparency of the displayed navigation numerals is gradually increased from 0% to 100%, and responds to the stop operation performed in accordance with the correct batting order. The navigation numeral display object that is being displayed with the same or different display time (longer display time or shorter display time) than when erasing the navigation numeral display object corresponding to the stop operation is erased. In this case, characters such as "Miss!" are displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD to notify that the stop operation was performed in a pressing order different from the correct batting order.

In addition, in this embodiment, in the winning auxiliary production, navigation sound (first sound, specific production sound), production sound (first sound, specific production sound), sound effect (second sound, production sound different from the specific production sound) The audio device 340 is caused to perform a sound production that generates a production sound such as (non-specific production sound). Here, the navigation voice is one that notifies the correct batting order (one that notifies game information that assists the game and game information that is advantageous to the player), and includes, for example, the voice of "Hidari" indicating the stop button B1, the stop These are the voice "Naka" indicating the button B2, and the voice "Migi" indicating the stop button B3. In this embodiment, sound data (sound data) such as a plurality of types of BGM, navigation sounds, performance sounds, and sound effects are stored in the performance data storage area 1930 of the sub-ROM in WAV file format, and are stored in the performance control means. 180 determines the sound to be output based on the performance pattern determined by the performance lottery table, reproduces the sound data of the determined sound, and causes the speaker (sound device 340) to output the sound. Furthermore, in this embodiment, a plurality of sound data can be simultaneously reproduced using a plurality of channels, and when a plurality of sound data are to be reproduced simultaneously, these sound data are synthesized and output to the speaker.

In addition, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 24, sound data such as BGM, navigation sound, performance sound, and sound effects are data that is output in stereo, and two channels are used during playback, left and right. output from the speakers.

In this embodiment, predetermined BGM is played during the game in the AT state, and the sound effects are used for each of the game start operation on the start lever SL and the first to third stop operations on the stop buttons B1 to B3. At this moment, a sound effect and a navigation sound or a performance sound are outputted superimposed on the BGM. Specifically, when a game start operation is performed on the start lever SL, a navigation appearance sound is output as a sound effect to produce the appearance of navigation number display objects IMG1 to 3 of "1", "2", and "3". When the first, second, or third stop operation is performed in accordance with the correct batting order, a navigation disappearing sound is output as a sound effect to produce the disappearance of the navigation numeral display object corresponding to the stop operation. The navigation appearance sound also functions as an operation sound indicating that a game start operation has been performed on the start lever SL, and the navigation disappearing sound also functions as an operation sound indicating that a stop operation has been performed on the stop button. .

For example, if the pressing order of batting order 3 (B2 → B1 → B3) is the correct batting order, when the game start operation is performed on the start lever SL, a navigation voice of "Naka" is output, and the pressing order is the correct batting order. When the first stop operation is performed, the navigation voice of "Hidari" is output, and when the second stop operation is performed according to the correct batting order, the navigation voice of "Migi" is output, and the third one is according to the correct batting order. When the stop operation is performed, a production sound of "get" is output. In this way, when the game start operation or the first and second stop operations are performed on the start lever SL, the type of stop button to be operated next is notified by the navigation voice, and when the third stop operation is performed, , the fact that 15 medals have been won (that 15 small roles have been won) is announced by a production sound.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the volume of the navigation appearance sound, navigation disappearance sound, navigation sound, and presentation sound is set in advance. The peak volume (maximum volume) occurs at timing t2 from the start, and the peak volume (maximum volume) of the navigation disappearing sound occurs at timing t1 from the start of sound output, as shown in FIG. 24(B). , "Hidari", "Naka", and "Migi" navigation sounds, as well as the performance sound of "Get", the volume increases at timing t3 from the start of sound output, as shown in Figures 24(C) to (F). The volume is set so that a peak (maximum volume) occurs. Note that the peak volume values of the navigation appearance sound, navigation disappearance sound, navigation sound, and performance sound are set to be larger than the peak volume value of the BGM.

In addition, if the navigation appearance sound or navigation disappearance sound and the navigation voice or production sound are generated at the same time, the volume of the navigation appearance sound or navigation disappearance sound will be lower than a predetermined value (a value smaller than the peak value, a reference value, a threshold value). The volume of the navigation sound or the performance sound is set so that it can also become a value larger than the predetermined value during a period in which the volume is a large value (volume larger than the predetermined volume). For example, FIGS. 24(A), (C) to (F) As shown in FIG. 24, at timings t2 and t3 when the volume of the navigation appearance sound is larger than the predetermined value, the volume of the navigation sound and the production sound also becomes larger than the predetermined value, as shown in FIGS. 24(B) to 24(F). Thus, at the timings t2 and t3 when the volume of the navigation disappearing sound becomes larger than the predetermined value, the volume of the navigation sound and the production sound also becomes larger than the predetermined value. However, as shown in FIGS. 24(B) to (F), at the timing t1 when the volume of the navigation disappearing sound becomes larger than the predetermined value, the volume of the navigation sound and the production sound becomes a value smaller than the predetermined value.

Furthermore, if the navigation appearance sound or navigation disappearance sound and the navigation voice or presentation sound are generated at the same time, the volume of the navigation appearance sound or navigation disappearance sound will be higher than a predetermined value at the time when the volume of the navigation voice or presentation sound peaks. For example, as shown in FIGS. 24(A) to 24(F), at timing t3 when the volume of the navigation voice or presentation voice is at its peak, the navigation appears. The volume of the sound or navigation disappearing sound becomes larger than a predetermined value. For this reason, as shown in FIGS. 25(A) to 25(D), the navigation appearance sound or the navigation If the disappearing sound and the navigation sound or the presentation sound are generated at the same time, the navigation sound or the presentation sound becomes difficult to hear.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the navigation appearance sound or the navigation disappearance sound is set so that the volume of the navigation appearance sound or the navigation disappearance sound is equal to or less than a predetermined value (predetermined volume) at the time when the volume of the navigation sound or the presentation sound peaks. Generate navigation audio or performance audio.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 26, the sound data for the navigation sounds for "Hidari", "Naka", and "Migi" and the production sound for "Get" in this embodiment include silent data at the beginning. is provided, and the period from the start of playback until a predetermined time (for example, 100 ms) has elapsed (from the start of playback to time t4) is a silent period. Note that the silent periods are set to the same length (same time) in the sound data for the navigation sounds of "Hidari", "Naka", and "Migi", and the production sound of "Get". In addition, the silent period of the navigation sound and the performance sound will be long so that when the sound data of the navigation appearance sound or the navigation disappearing sound is played at the same time, the time when the peak volume of the navigation sound or the navigation sound disappearing is included in the silence period. is set.

In the prize-winning assistance performance, a sound performance (predetermined sound performance) that generates a navigation appearance sound and a navigation voice is executed in response to a game start operation on the start lever SL. In detail, when the start lever SL is pressed (when a predetermined condition is met), as shown in FIG. 26(A), a navigation appearance sound and a navigation voice (in the example shown in FIG. ) sound data at the same time. Then, since the beginning of the sound data for the navigation voice is a silent period, the navigation voice for "Naka" will start to be output after the navigation voice's silent period has elapsed after the navigation appearance sound started to be output. , the volume of the navigation appearance sound peaks during the silent period of the navigation sound.

In addition, when the first stop operation is performed in the correct batting order (for example, B2 → B1 → B3) in a game in which the winning assistance performance is executed, a sound performance that generates a navigation disappearing sound and a navigation voice (predetermined sound performance) Execute. Specifically, when a stop button (for example, stop button B2) is pressed (when a predetermined condition is met), the navigation disappearing sound and the navigation voice ( In the example shown in FIG. 26, the sound data for "Hidari" (navigation voice) is played back at the same time. Then, since the beginning of the sound data of the navigation voice is a silent period, the output of the navigation voice "Hidari" will start after the navigation voice silent period has elapsed after the navigation disappearing sound started outputting. , the peak volume of the navigation disappearing sound occurs during the silent period of the navigation sound.

In addition, when the second stop operation is performed in the correct batting order (for example, B2 → B1 → B3) in a game in which the winning assistance performance is executed, a sound performance (predetermined sound performance) that generates a navigation disappearing sound and a navigation voice Execute. Specifically, when a stop button (for example, stop button B1) is pressed (when a predetermined condition is met), the navigation disappearing sound and the navigation voice ( In the example shown in FIG. 26, the sound data of "Migi" (navigation voice) is played back at the same time. Then, since the beginning of the sound data of the navigation voice is a silent period, the navigation voice of "Migi" starts outputting after the navigation voice silent period has elapsed after the navigation disappearing sound started outputting. , the peak volume of the navigation disappearing sound occurs during the silent period of the navigation sound.

In addition, when the third stop operation is performed in the correct batting order (for example, B2 → B1 → B3) in a game in which the winning assistance performance is executed, a sound performance that generates a navigation disappearing sound and a performance sound (predetermined sound performance) Execute. Specifically, when a stop button (for example, stop button B3) is pressed (when a predetermined condition is met), the navigation disappearing sound and the production sound ( In the example shown in FIG. 26, the sound data for "Get" (production sound) is played back at the same time. Then, since the beginning of the sound data of the performance sound is a silent period, the production sound of "Get" will start to be output after the silence period of the performance sound has elapsed after the navigation disappearing sound started to be output. , the peak volume of the navigation disappearing sound occurs during the silent period of the performance sound.

In addition, when the pressed state of the stop button (for example, stop button B3) related to the third stop operation performed according to the correct batting order (for example, B2 → B1 → B3) in the game in which the winning assist effect is executed is released. , to execute a sound effect that generates a medal payout sound. In this embodiment, the winning determination process by the winning determining means 140 is performed when the pressed state of the stop button related to the third stop operation is released, and the winning determining process is performed by the payout controlling means 150 based on the result of the winning determining. Since medal payout control processing is performed, when the third stop operation is performed in accordance with the correct batting order in a game where the winning assistance effect has been executed, a sound effect that generates the medal payout sound as the medals are paid out is activated. Let it run.

As described above, in this embodiment, the navigation appearance sound or the navigation disappearing sound is generated at each opportunity of the game start operation on the start lever SL and the first to third stop operations on the stop buttons B1 to B3 in the winning assist performance. A sound effect that generates a navigation sound or a presentation sound is executed, and in this case, when the volume of the navigation sound or the presentation sound peaks, the volume of the navigation appearance sound or the navigation disappearance sound is equal to or less than a predetermined value (predetermined volume). Since the navigation appearance sound or the navigation disappearing sound and the navigation sound or the performance sound are generated, the navigation sound or the performance sound can be made easier to hear, and an effective performance can be performed. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 26, the sound data of the navigation voice and the performance voice in this embodiment includes silent data at the beginning, and when a predetermined period of time (for example, 100 ms) has elapsed from the start of playback. The period up to this point (from the start of playback to time t4) is a silent period. When performing a sound production that generates navigation sound etc. in the prize-winning supplementary production, by simultaneously playing the sound data of the navigation appearance sound or navigation disappearing sound and the sound data of the navigation sound or presentation sound, the navigation appearance sound or the navigation sound The navigation sound or the performance sound is not generated when the volume of the navigation disappearing sound is at its peak, and the navigation sound or the performance sound is generated after the silent period of the navigation sound or the performance sound has elapsed, thereby reducing sound overlap. This makes it possible to easily hear the navigation appearance sound, the navigation disappearing sound, the navigation voice, and the performance sound, and it is possible to perform effective performance.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 26(A) to 26(D), the volume of the navigation appearance sound and the navigation disappearance sound is set to attenuate after the peak, and the navigation sound is When executing a sound effect that generates a navigation sound, etc., the volume of the navigation appearance sound or navigation disappearing sound is attenuated by simultaneously playing the sound data of the navigation appearance sound or navigation disappearing sound and the sound data of the navigation sound or presentation sound. Since the navigation sound or the production sound is generated after starting the navigation sound, the volume of the navigation appearance sound or the navigation disappearance sound can be set to be less than a predetermined value (predetermined volume) at the time when the volume of the navigation sound or the production sound peaks. , it is possible to make the navigation voice and the performance sound easier to hear, and it is possible to perform an effective performance.

In addition, in this embodiment, when performing a sound effect that generates a navigation sound or the like in a prize-winning auxiliary effect, a silent period of the navigation sound or the performance sound has elapsed since the navigation appearance sound or the navigation disappearing sound started to be output. Since the overlapping of sounds can be reduced by starting to output the navigation sound or the performance sound after the above-mentioned operation, it is possible to suppress the rise in temperature of the speakers, and the occurrence of speaker failures can be suppressed.

In addition, in this embodiment, when performing a sound effect that generates a navigation voice etc. in the winning assistance effect, when a game start operation is performed on the start lever SL, when a first stop operation is performed, the second The length of the silent period of the navigation voice or performance voice is the same when the second stop operation is performed and when the third stop operation is performed. The period until the production sound is generated can be made constant, so that the player does not feel uncomfortable.

In addition, in this embodiment, when a stop operation is performed in a pressing order different from the correct batting order in a game in which a prize-winning assisting performance has been executed, a sound performance that generates a warning sound and a "miss" performance sound is executed to display the correct batting order. Notifies that the stop operation was performed in a different pressing order. In this case, it is possible to adopt the same method as when the stop operation is performed in the correct batting order in a game where the winning assist effect is executed, and the warning sound is emitted at the time when the volume of the “miss” effect effect peaks. It is possible to generate a warning sound and a "mistake" effect sound so that the volume is below a predetermined value (predetermined volume). Specifically, a game in which silent data is provided at the beginning of the sound data of the "mistake" performance sound, a silent period is defined as the period from the start of playback until a predetermined time (for example, 100 ms) has elapsed, and a winning assistance performance is executed. In response to a press operation on a stop button related to a stop operation performed in a press order different from the correct batting order, a warning sound and sound data of a "mistake" effect sound are simultaneously played. Then, since the beginning of the sound data for the production sound for "Miss" is a silent period, the sound data for the production sound for "Miss" will be output after the sound production sound period for the production sound has elapsed after the warning sound starts to be output. is started, and the peak volume of the warning sound occurs during the silent period of the production sound. This makes it possible to easily hear the effect sound of "mistake", and it is possible to perform an effective effect.

In addition, in this embodiment, the presentation mode of the winning assistance presentation has been explained by taking as an example the case where the pressing order of batting order 3 (B2 → B1 → B3) is the correct batting order, but batting order 1, batting order 2, batting order 4, Even when the pressing order of batting order 5 or batting order 6 is the correct batting order, the prize-winning assistance performance is executed in the same manner.

2. Second embodiment

In this embodiment, a detailed explanation of the configuration and control method common to the first embodiment will be omitted, and the main differences will be explained. The control method employed in the gaming machine of this embodiment will be described below with reference to FIGS. 27 to 29. Note that FIG. 27 is a flowchart showing an example of processing in the gaming machine of this embodiment, and FIGS. 28 and 29 are diagrams showing images displayed in the winning assistance effect in the gaming machine of this embodiment. .

First, in this embodiment, in a game in a non-AT state (a game that does not execute the winning assist effect), if the third stop operation is performed according to the correct batting order when the batting order bell is won (when a 15-piece small winning combination is won) ), a specific effect may be executed in which the characters "GET!" are displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD and the effect sound of "GET" is output from the speaker.

In addition, in this embodiment, when the third stop operation is performed in accordance with the correct batting order in a game in which the winning assist effect is executed, the character A image IMG10, which is the effect image in which the character A performs a predetermined action, is displayed on the liquid crystal display. At the same time as displaying the line on the LCD, a line performance (winning assistance interlocking performance) is executed in which character A's line S1 (for example, "Who's next!") is output from the speaker. At this time, in this embodiment, the characters "GET!" are displayed as in the above embodiment, but the effect sound of "GET" is not output.

In other words, in this embodiment, when displaying the characters "GET!", a production sound of "GET" is output, and character A's line S1 (for example, "Who's next!") is output. There are cases. Therefore, in this embodiment, the performance sound is determined and outputted using the execution of the process of displaying the characters "GET!" as a trigger.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 27, when a winning supplementary performance or a specific performance is selected by a performance lottery in a game in which the batting order bell is won (Y in step S100, Y in step S101), the game will be played according to the correct batting order. When the third stop operation is performed (when 15 small winnings are won) (Y in step S102), the characters "GET!" are displayed (step S103), and the type of performance (game situation) is displayed. (Step S104), and if the prize-winning assistance performance is being executed (Y in Step S104), character A's line S1 (for example, "Who's next!") is output from the speaker (Step S104). S105), if the winning assist effect is not being executed (N in step S104), the effect sound of "get" is output from the speaker (step S106).

For example, in a game in a non-AT state (a game that does not execute the winning supplementary effect), when the batting order bell is won, if the third stop operation is performed in accordance with the correct batting order (when a 15-piece small winning combination is won), as shown in FIG. As shown, the characters "GET!" are displayed, and the sound of "GET" is output.

For example, in the examples shown in FIGS. 10, 12, and 14, if the third (last) stop operation is performed in the correct batting order, as shown in FIGS. 29(A) to 29(H), ( 16(A) to FIG. 16(H)), the display of the third navigation numeral display object IMG3 is erased, and the disappearance effect of the third navigation numeral display object IMG3 (display of the disappearance effect image IMG5) is erased. , as shown in FIG. 29(I), displays the characters "GET!", as shown in FIG. 29(J), displays character A image IMG10, and displays character A's dialogue S1 (for example, "NEXT Who is it?”) is output from the speaker.

As described above, in the present embodiment, when the third stop operation is performed in the correct batting order in the game in which the winning assist effect is executed, the specific process A that displays the characters "GET!" and the character A image IMG10 Specific processing B for displaying is executed, and the execution of specific processing A rather than execution of specific processing B is used as an opportunity to output character A's speech S1 (effect sound corresponding to character A image IMG10) from the speaker.

As a result, in this embodiment, the type of performance (game situation) is determined based on the execution of specific processing A that displays the characters "GET!", and a performance sound corresponding to the type of performance is output. For the same display (display of "GET!"), the performance sound can be appropriately switched according to the type of performance, and effective performance can be performed.

In addition, in this embodiment, when the third stop operation is performed in accordance with the correct batting order in a game in which a prize-winning assistance effect has been executed, character A's line S1 (for example, ``Next Who is that?”) is output from the speaker. Here, if the production sound of "Get" is output in conjunction with the display of "GET!" as in the above embodiment, it will overlap with character A's dialogue S1 and become difficult to hear, but in this embodiment In this case, character A's line S1 (for example, "Who's next!") is output from the speaker instead of the performance sound of "Get", so the performance sound can be made easier to hear, and the player does not feel strange. You can direct it so that it doesn't affect you.

In addition, in this embodiment, in the game in which the winning assisting performance was executed, the press operation of the stop button related to the third stop operation was performed in accordance with the correct batting order in the game in which the winning assisting performance was executed, and in the game in which the winning assisting performance was executed in accordance with the correct batting order. The press operation of the stop button related to the third stop operation is released, or the third stop operation is performed according to the correct batting order in the game where the winning supplementary effect was executed, and the winning determination process (15 pieces small winning) (winning a prize), specific processing A for displaying the characters "GET!" and specific processing B for displaying character A image IMG10 may be executed.

Similarly, in a game in a non-AT state (a game that does not execute a winning supplementary effect), when the batting order bell is won, the stop button related to the third stop operation in the correct batting order was pressed, and in a non-AT state In the game, when the batting order bell is won, the press of the stop button related to the third stop operation according to the correct batting order is released, and in a game in a non-AT state, when the batting order bell is won, the third stop button according to the correct batting order is released. When the stop operation is performed and the winning determination process (15 small winning combinations is won) is triggered, a specific process A for displaying the characters "GET!" may be executed.

When the enlarged display of the third navigation numeral display object IMG3 is completed, the third navigation numeral display object IMG3 is displayed at a constant size (third size) as shown in FIGS. 30(C) and 33.

In addition, in the first prize-winning auxiliary performance, similarly to the first embodiment, in response to the game start operation on the start lever SL, the navigation number display objects IMG1 to 3 of "1", "2", and "3" are changed to "1", "2", and "3". ” → “2” → “3” appear in the display area of the liquid crystal display LCD. In this case, the first navigation numeral display object IMG1 is displayed in a fourth size smaller than the first size (for example, 30% display magnification) to a sixth size (for example, 70% display magnification: 6th scale) that is smaller than the size of the second winning auxiliary effect (second size), and the enlarged display of the first navigation number display object IMG1 ends. Then, as shown in FIGS. 30(D) and 34, the first navigation numeral display object IMG1 is displayed at a constant size (sixth size). Further, when the second navigation number display object IMG2 appears, it is enlarged from a fourth size (for example, 30% display magnification) to a first size smaller than the second size (for example, 60% display magnification), When the enlarged display ends, the second navigation numeral display object IMG2 is displayed at a constant size (first size), as shown in FIGS. 30(D) and 34. Further, when the third navigation number display object IMG3 is to appear, it is enlarged from the fourth size to the seventh size (for example, 50% display magnification: seventh scale), and when the enlarged display is finished, as shown in FIG. 30(D). , as shown in FIG. 34, the third navigation numeral display object IMG3 is displayed in a constant size (seventh size). In this embodiment, the navigation numerals are arranged so that the occupied area of the image increases in the order of "third navigation numeral display object IMG3<second navigation numeral display object IMG2<first navigation numeral display object IMG1". Display IMG1-3.

Then, when the first (initial) stop operation is performed in accordance with the correct batting order (B2 → B1 → B3), the display of the first navigation number display object IMG1 is erased and the second navigation number display object IMG2 is moved to the second prize. When the enlarged display of the second navigation number display object IMG2 is completed by enlarging it to a sixth size (for example, 70% display magnification) smaller than the size of the auxiliary effect (third size), FIGS. 30(E) and 35 As shown in , the second navigation numeral display object IMG2 is displayed in a constant size (sixth size).

Similarly, when the second stop operation is performed in accordance with the correct batting order (B2→B1→B3), the display of the second navigation numeral display object IMG2 is erased and the third navigation numeral display object IMG3 is changed to the sixth size (e.g. , 70% display magnification), and when the enlarged display of the third navigation number display object IMG3 is completed, the third navigation number display object IMG3 is displayed at a constant size (sixth size) as shown in FIGS. 30(F) and 36. Display the navigation number display object IMG3.

In this embodiment, in the first prize-winning auxiliary performance, navigation number display objects are displayed at positions corresponding to each stop button (first display position, second display position, and third display position corresponding to each stop button). let Specifically, in the first winning supplementary performance, a straight line passing through the center of the width of each stop button and perpendicular to the bottom (or top) of the slot machine (casing) (vertical direction, orthogonal direction) ), the display position for displaying the navigation numerals (positions corresponding to each stop button) is set, and the center (or anchor point) of the navigation numerals is located at the display position. Display each navigation number display object. Note that in the above embodiment and this embodiment, an anchor point is set at the center of the image in each navigation numeral display object, and the image is enlarged or reduced around the anchor point.

Specifically, in the first winning supplementary performance, as shown in FIG. 37, the third line is a straight line passing through the center of the width of the stop button B1 and is perpendicular to the bottom surface of the slot machine (casing). A first display position for displaying the navigation numeral display corresponding to the stop button B1 (and first reel R1) is set on the left virtual straight line LL3, and is a straight line passing through the center of the width of the stop button B2, A second display position for displaying a navigation numeral display object corresponding to the stop button B2 (and second reel R2) is set on the third medium imaginary straight line CL3, which is a straight line perpendicular to the bottom surface of the housing), The stop button B3 (and the third reel R3) corresponds to the third right virtual straight line RL3, which is a straight line passing through the center of the width of the stop button B3 and is perpendicular to the bottom surface of the slot machine (casing). A third display position is set for displaying the navigation number display object.

For this reason, for example, if the pressing order of batting order 5 (B3 → B1 → B2) in the first prize-winning supplementary performance is the correct batting order, as shown in FIG. The center of the display object IMG2 is located, the center of the third navigation numeral display object IMG3 is located on the third middle virtual straight line CL3, and the center of the first navigation numeral display object IMG1 is located on the third right virtual straight line RL3. Display it as follows. In addition, in FIG. 37, in response to the game start operation on the start lever SL, navigation number display objects IMG1 to 3 of "1", "2", and "3" appear, and the first navigation number display object IMG1 is changed to the sixth size. (for example, 70% display magnification), the second navigation numeral display object IMG2 is at the first size (for example, 60% display magnification), and the third navigation numeral display object IMG3 is at the seventh size (for example, 50% display magnification). This is a case where the image is displayed at a display magnification (display magnification).

Further, in the present embodiment, in the second prize-winning auxiliary performance, navigation number display objects are displayed at positions corresponding to each reel (first display position, second display position, and third display position corresponding to each reel). Specifically, in the second winning supplementary performance, a straight line passing through the center of the width of each reel and perpendicular to the bottom (or top) of the slot machine (casing) (vertical direction, orthogonal direction) The display position (corresponding to each reel) for displaying the navigation number display is set on the straight line of Display a numerical display object.

In detail, in the second winning supplementary performance, as shown in FIG. A first display position for displaying the navigation numeral display object corresponding to the stop button B1 (and first reel R1) is set on the first left virtual straight line LL1, which is a straight line passing through the center of the width of the second reel R2. a second display that displays navigation numerals corresponding to the stop button B2 (and second reel R2) on the first virtual straight line CL1, which is a straight line perpendicular to the bottom surface of the slot machine (casing); The position is set, and the stop button B3 (and the second A third display position is set to display a navigation numeral display object corresponding to the third reel R3).

For this reason, for example, if the pressing order of batting order 5 (B3 → B1 → B2) in the second prize-winning auxiliary performance is the correct batting order, as shown in FIG. The center of the second navigation number display object IMG2 is located, the center of the third navigation number display object IMG3 is located on the first middle virtual straight line CL1, and the center of the first navigation number display object IMG1 is located on the first right virtual straight line RL1. Display so that it is located.

Then, in the second winning auxiliary performance, in response to the game start operation on the start lever SL, navigation number display objects IMG1 to 3 of "1", "2", and "3" appear, and the first navigation number display object IMG1 is changed to the first navigation number display object IMG1. 2 size (for example, 100% display magnification), the second navigation numeral display object IMG2 is the fifth size (for example, 80% display magnification), and the third navigation numeral display object IMG3 is the first size (for example, 60% display magnification). % display magnification), as shown in FIG. 38(B), the second line, which is a straight line passing through the left end of the stop button B1 and perpendicular to the bottom surface of the slot machine (casing), is displayed. 2. The second navigation numeral display object IMG2 (at least a part of the second navigation numeral display object IMG2) is located on the left virtual straight line LL2, which is a straight line passing through the center of the stop button B2 and on the bottom of the slot machine (housing). The third navigation numeral display object IMG3 is placed on the second intermediate imaginary straight line CL2 (the second intermediate imaginary straight line CL2 is the same line as the first intermediate imaginary straight line CL1 and the third intermediate imaginary straight line CL3), which is a straight line perpendicular to the second intermediate imaginary straight line CL2. The center is located on the second right virtual straight line RL2, which is a straight line passing through the right end of the stop button B3 and perpendicular to the bottom surface of the slot machine (casing). 1) is located.

Further, as shown in FIG. 38(B), the first reel R1 exists on the second left virtual straight line LL2, the second reel R2 exists on the second middle virtual straight line CL2, and the second reel R2 exists on the second right virtual straight line LL2. A third reel R3 exists on RL2.

For example, if the pressing order of batting order 3 (B2→B1→B3) is the correct batting order in the second prize-winning auxiliary performance, as shown in FIG. The center of the navigation numeral display object IMG2 is located, the center of the first navigation numeral display object IMG1 is located on the first middle virtual straight line CL1, and the center of the third navigation numeral display object IMG3 is located on the first right virtual straight line RL1. Display the location.

Then, in the second winning auxiliary performance, in response to the game start operation on the start lever SL, navigation number display objects IMG1 to 3 of "1", "2", and "3" appear, and the first navigation number display object IMG1 is changed to the first navigation number display object IMG1. 2 size (for example, 100% display magnification), the second navigation numeral display object IMG2 is the fifth size (for example, 80% display magnification), and the third navigation numeral display object IMG3 is the first size (for example, 60% display magnification). % display magnification), the second navigation numeral display object IMG2 (at least a part of the second navigation numeral display object IMG2) is displayed on the second left virtual straight line LL2, as shown in FIG. 39(B). The center of the first navigation numeral display object IMG1 is located on the second middle virtual straight line CL2, but the center of the third navigation numeral display object IMG3 is not located on the second right virtual straight line RL2.

Then, the first and second stop operations are performed in accordance with the correct batting order (B2→B1→B3), and in response to the second stop operation, the third navigation number display object IMG3 is changed to a third size (for example, 140 %), as shown in FIG. 40, the third navigation numeral display object IMG3 (at least a part of the third navigation numeral display object IMG3) is located on the second right virtual straight line RL2.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 38(A), the stop button B2 is provided such that the center of the stop button B2 is located on the first middle virtual straight line CL1, and the center of the stop button B2 is located on the first left virtual straight line LL1. Since the stop button B1 is provided on the stop button B2 side and the stop button B3 is provided on the stop button B2 side with respect to the first right virtual straight line RL1, the second In the prize-winning auxiliary performance, the navigation number display object corresponding to stop button B2 is displayed at the same position (in the same way) as the first prize-winning assistance performance, but the navigation number display object corresponding to stop buttons B1 and B3 is displayed at the same position as the first prize-winning assistance performance. 1 Display in a different position (differently) from the prize-winning auxiliary performance.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the interval between the navigation numerals in the first prize-winning auxiliary performance is narrower than the interval between the navigation numerals in the second prize-winning auxiliary performance. For example, as shown in FIGS. 41(A) and 41(B), the interval B1 between the second navigation numeral display object IMG2 and the third navigation numeral display object IMG3 in the first winning auxiliary performance of FIG. The interval A1 between the second navigation numeral display object IMG2 and the third navigation numeral display object IMG3 in the second winning auxiliary performance shown in FIG. The distance B2 between the display object IMG3 and the first navigation number display object IMG1 is larger than the distance A2 between the third navigation number display object IMG3 and the first navigation number display object IMG1 in the second winning auxiliary performance of FIG. 41(B). It gets narrower. Note that FIG. 41(A) is the same diagram as FIG. 37, and FIG. 41(B) is the same diagram as FIG. 38(A). Further, in this case, the navigation numeral display may be enlarged and displayed in the second prize-winning auxiliary performance so that A1<B1 and A2<B2.

In this way, in the first prize-winning auxiliary performance of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 37, in order to display navigation numerals at positions corresponding to each stop button, the correspondence between the stop buttons and the navigation numerals is determined. The first reel R1, the stop button B1, and the navigation numeral display object displayed at the first display position are on the same straight line (third left virtual straight line LL3), and the second reel R2 , the stop button B2, and the navigation number display object displayed at the second display position exist on the same straight line (the third medium imaginary straight line CL3), and the third reel R3, the stop button B3, and the navigation number display object displayed at the third display position exist. Since the navigation numeral display objects exist on the same straight line (third right virtual straight line RL3), the correspondence between the reels, the stop button, and the navigation numeral display objects can be made easy to understand. This makes it easier to recognize the order of operations and allows for effective performance.

In addition, in the second prize-winning auxiliary performance of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. Furthermore, the correspondence between the stop button and the navigation number display can be made easier to understand, and as shown in FIG. 38(B), the first reel R1, the stop button B1, and the navigation number display displayed at the first display position The object exists on the same straight line (second left virtual straight line LL2), and the second reel R2, the stop button B2, and the navigation numeral display object displayed at the second display position exist on the same straight line (second middle virtual straight line CL2). ), and the third reel R3, stop button B3, and the navigation number display object displayed at the third display position are on the same straight line (second right virtual straight line RL2), so the reels and stop button The correspondence relationship with the navigation number display can also be made easier to understand. This makes it easier to recognize the order of operations and allows for effective performance.

Furthermore, in the first prize-winning assistance performance of the present embodiment, the navigation number display objects IMG1 to 3 of “1”, “2”, and “3” are displayed smaller than in the second prize-winning assistance presentation, so that the player with respect to the display It is possible to relatively reduce the attention level of the player compared to when the second prize-winning auxiliary effect is executed, and it is also possible to attract attention to the display of other effect images.

For this reason, in this embodiment, the second prize-winning auxiliary performance is executed in principle in the AT state, but there may be situations where a specific performance such as a continuous performance or a story performance is executed, or the number of medals won in the last game in the AT state. In certain situations, such as when displaying (performing a specific display) the results of assist time games such as the number of games played in assist time games, etc., the first prize-winning auxiliary effect may be executed and other effect images may also be displayed. It is possible to do so. Also, for example, a first AT state and a second AT state are provided as AT states, and it is possible to transition between the first AT state and the second AT state, and in the first AT state, the first prize-winning auxiliary performance is executed, as well as the story production, etc. However, in the second AT state, a second winning assist effect may be executed.

In addition, in the first prize-winning auxiliary performance of this embodiment, each navigation number display object (adjacent navigation number display objects) is displayed at narrower intervals than in the second prize-winning assistant performance, so the distance that the player's line of sight moves is reduced. This can reduce the burden on the player.

Furthermore, in the present embodiment, when the pressing order of batting order 3 (B2→B1→B3) in the second prize-winning auxiliary performance is the correct batting order, in the situation shown in FIG. 39(B), the third navigation number display object IMG3 is Although the third navigation numeral display object IMG3 is not located on the second right virtual straight line RL2 in the situation shown in FIG. 40, it is located on the second right virtual straight line RL2. (in which the third navigation number display object IMG3 is focused), the third reel R3 and the third navigation number display object IMG3 can be positioned on the second right virtual straight line RL2, and the reels and the stop button The correspondence relationship with the navigation number display can be made easier to understand.

Note that in this embodiment, the third navigation numeral display object IMG3 may be positioned on the second right virtual straight line RL2 in the situation shown in FIG. 39(B).

Furthermore, in this embodiment, in the first prize-winning auxiliary performance and the second prize-winning auxiliary performance, each navigation numeral display object is arranged so that the navigation numeral display object corresponding to each stop button is located above each stop button B1 to B3. For example, if the pressing order of batting order 5 (B3→B1→B2) is the correct batting order in the first prize-winning auxiliary performance, the left end of the stop button B1 is displayed as shown in FIG. 42(A). The second navigation numeral display object IMG2 (at least a part of the second navigation numeral display object IMG2) is located within the first virtual area E1, which is the area (width) between and the right end. The third navigation numeral display object IMG3 (at least a part of the third navigation numeral display object IMG3) is located within the second virtual area E2, which is the area between the left end and the right end (width), and is located at the left end of the stop button B3. The first navigation numeral display object IMG1 (at least a part of the first navigation numeral display object IMG1) is displayed so as to be located within the third virtual area E3, which is the area (width) between the right end and the second prize assistance. Similarly, in the production, as shown in FIG. A third navigation number display object IMG3 (at least a part of the third navigation number display object IMG3) is located within the area E2, and a first navigation number display object IMG1 (first navigation number display object IMG1) is located within the third virtual area E3. (at least a portion of) may be displayed.

In the example shown in FIG. 42, the second navigation numeral display object IMG2 is included in the first virtual area E1 at a higher rate than the second prize-winning assistance effect shown in FIG. 42(A). The prize-winning auxiliary performance is larger (for example, 100% for the first prize-winning auxiliary performance and 10% for the second prize-winning auxiliary performance). Similarly, the proportion of the first navigation number display object IMG1 included in the third virtual area E3 is higher in the first winning auxiliary performance shown in FIG. 42(A) than in the second winning auxiliary performance shown in FIG. 42(B). is large (for example, 100% for the first winning auxiliary performance and 10% for the second winning auxiliary performance). As a result, in the first winning auxiliary performance, the navigation number display objects IMG1 to 3 for "1", "2", and "3" are displayed smaller than in the second winning assistance performance, but the second navigation number display object IMG2 is displayed smaller than the second navigation number display object IMG2. Since the ratio of the first navigation numeral display object IMG1 included in the first virtual area E1 and the ratio of the first navigation number display object IMG1 included in the third virtual area E3 is large, the order of operations can be easily recognized and effective presentation can be performed. This makes it possible to prevent mistakes in pressing the order as much as possible. Note that the proportion of each navigation number display object included in each virtual area may be larger or smaller in the first winning assisting effect than in the second winning assisting effect, or may be the same. The navigation number display of the division is larger in the first prize-winning auxiliary performance than the second prize-winning auxiliary performance, but the other navigation number display may be smaller in the first prize-winning auxiliary performance than the second prize-winning auxiliary performance. However, some navigation numerals are larger or smaller in the 1st prize-winning auxiliary performance than in the 2nd prize-winning auxiliary performance, but other navigation numerals are the same in the 2nd prize-winning auxiliary performance and the 1st prize-winning auxiliary performance. It may be.

In addition, in this embodiment, as a prize-winning auxiliary performance, a weak cherry, a watermelon, a strong cherry, which is an opportunity to execute an additional lottery (a specific lottery), or a winning of a chance role (specific winning mode) (information that assists the game) is used. For example, a special role winning supplementary performance is provided to notify the winning of a one-card small role (specific role). When executing the first specific winning auxiliary performance (an example of the first game auxiliary performance) that displays the specific navigation display object (specific navigation image, example of a game auxiliary display object) IMG20 in a size smaller than the normal size, and A second specific role winning auxiliary effect (second game auxiliary effect) that displays the navigation display object (specific navigation image, an example of a game auxiliary display object) IMG20 in a size larger (normal size) than the size of the first specific role winning auxiliary effect For example, if a weak cherry, watermelon, strong cherry, or chance role is won in the AT state, the first specific role winning auxiliary performance or the second specific role winning auxiliary performance is executed. .

Further, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 43, an image of "!" is displayed as the specific navigation display object IMG20 at the first display position, the second display position, and the third display position in the display area of the liquid crystal display LCD. Display. In addition, in the second specific role winning auxiliary presentation, the specific navigation display object IMG20 is displayed larger than the first specific role winning auxiliary presentation, so the area occupied by the image of the specific navigation display object IMG20 is larger than the first specific role winning auxiliary presentation. It's getting bigger.

In addition, in the first specific role winning auxiliary performance, the specific navigation display object IMG20 is set to a certain size (a sixth size (for example, 70% display magnification) that is smaller than the size (third size) of the second specific role winning auxiliary performance). When a stop operation is performed on the stop button, the display of the specific navigation display object IMG20 corresponding to the stop operation is erased (hidden).

Similarly, in the second specific winning assist production, the specific navigation display object IMG20 is displayed at a fixed size (third size (for example, 140% display magnification)), and when a stop operation is performed on the stop button, the corresponding stop The display of the specific navigation display object IMG20 corresponding to the operation is erased (hidden).

In this embodiment, similarly to the first winning auxiliary performance and the second winning auxiliary performance, in the first specific winning auxiliary performance, the position corresponding to each stop button (the first display position corresponding to each stop button , the second display position, and the third display position), and in the second specific winning combination presentation, the specific navigation display object IMG20 is displayed at the position corresponding to each reel (the first display position, the second display position corresponding to each reel). The specific navigation display object IMG20 is displayed at the third display position). Note that in this embodiment, an anchor point is set at the center of the image in each specific navigation display object IMG20, and the image is enlarged or reduced around the anchor point.

For example, in the first specific combination winning assistance performance, as shown in FIG. 43, the center of the specific navigation display object IMG20 is located on the third left virtual straight line LL3, the third middle virtual straight line CL3, and the third right virtual straight line RL3. Display it as follows. Note that FIG. 43 shows a case where the specific navigation display object IMG20 of "!" is displayed in the sixth size (for example, 70% display magnification) in response to a game start operation on the start lever SL.

In addition, in the second specific role winning auxiliary performance, as shown in FIG. Display the location.

Then, in a situation where the specific navigation display object IMG20 of "!" is displayed in the third size (for example, 140% display magnification) in response to the game start operation on the start lever SL in the second specific combination winning assistance production, the screen shown in FIG. As shown in (B), the specific navigation display object IMG20 (at least a part of the specific navigation display object IMG20) is located on the second left virtual straight line LL2, and the specific navigation display object IMG20 is located on the second middle virtual straight line CL2. The center is located, and the specific navigation display object IMG20 (at least a part of the specific navigation display object IMG20) is located on the second right virtual straight line RL2.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 43 and 44(B), in the second specific role winning auxiliary performance, the specific navigation display object IMG20 corresponding to the stop button B2 is used as the first specific role winning auxiliary performance. Although they are displayed at the same position (in the same way), the specific navigation display objects IMG20 corresponding to the stop buttons B1 and B3 are displayed at a different position (differently) from that of the first specific winning combination winning assistance performance.

For this reason, in this embodiment, the interval between the specific navigation display objects IMG20 in the first specific role winning auxiliary performance is narrower than the interval between the specific navigation display objects IMG20 in the second specific role winning auxiliary performance. For example, as shown in FIGS. 45(A) and 45(B), the specific navigation display object IMG20 at the first display position and the specific navigation display object at the second display position in the first specific winning supplementary performance of FIG. 45(A) The distance B3 with the IMG20 is narrower than the distance A3 between the specific navigation display object IMG20 at the first display position and the specific navigation display object IMG20 at the second display position in the second specific winning assist performance in FIG. 45(B), The interval B4 between the specific navigation display object IMG20 at the second display position and the specific navigation display object IMG20 at the third display position in the first specific winning assist performance in FIG. 45(A) is the second specific navigation display object IMG20 in FIG. The distance is narrower than the interval A4 between the specific navigation display object IMG20 at the second display position and the specific navigation display object IMG20 at the third display position in the winning auxiliary performance. Note that FIG. 45(A) is the same diagram as FIG. 43, and FIG. 45(B) is the same diagram as FIG. 44(B). Further, in this case, the specific navigation display object IMG may be displayed in an enlarged manner so that A3<B3 and A4<B4 in the second specific winning assist presentation.

In this way, in the first specific winning assist performance of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 43, in order to display the specific navigation display object IMG20 at the position corresponding to each stop button, the stop button and the specific navigation display object IMG2 The first reel R1, the stop button B1, and the specific navigation display object IMG20 displayed at the first display position are on the same straight line (third left virtual straight line LL3). , the second reel R2, the stop button B2, and the specific navigation display object IMG20 displayed at the second display position exist on the same straight line (the third medium imaginary straight line CL3), and the third reel R3, the stop button B3, and the Since the specific navigation display object IMG20 displayed at the 3 display position exists on the same straight line (third right virtual straight line RL3), the correspondence relationship between the reels, the stop button, and the specific navigation display object IMG20 can be made easy to understand. It is possible to perform effectively.

In addition, in the second specific winning assist production of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 44(A), in order to display the specific navigation display object IMG20 at a position corresponding to each reel, It is possible to make it easier to understand the correspondence between the stop button and the specific navigation display object IMG20, and as shown in FIG. The specific navigation display object IMG20 displayed at the second display position exists on the same straight line (second left virtual straight line LL2), and the second reel R2, stop button B2, and the specific navigation display object IMG20 displayed at the second display position are on the same straight line. The third reel R3, the stop button B3, and the specific navigation display object IMG20 displayed at the third display position exist on the same straight line (second right virtual straight line RL2). Therefore, the correspondence between the reels, the stop button, and the specific navigation display object IMG20 can be made easy to understand, and effective performances can be performed.

In addition, in the first specific role winning auxiliary performance of this embodiment, in order to display the specific navigation display object IMG20 smaller than the second specific role winning auxiliary performance, the degree of attention of the player to the display is determined by the second specific role winning auxiliary performance. It can be relatively lowered than when the effect is executed, and it is possible to draw attention to the display of other effect images.

For this reason, in this embodiment, the second specific winning auxiliary effect is executed in principle in the AT state, similar to the first winning auxiliary effect and the second winning auxiliary effect, but in certain situations, the first specific winning auxiliary effect may be It is possible to perform auxiliary effects to draw attention to the display of other effect images. Also, for example, a first AT state and a second AT state are provided as AT states, and it is possible to transition between the first AT state and the second AT state, and in the first AT state, the first specific winning combination is executed, and the story production, etc. may be executed, and in the second AT state, a second specific combination prize winning assistance effect may be executed.

Furthermore, in the first specific role winning auxiliary performance of the present embodiment, in order to display each specific navigation display object IMG20 (adjacent specific navigation display objects IMG20) at narrower intervals than in the second specific role winning auxiliary performance, the player The distance traveled by the line of sight can be reduced, and the burden on the player can be reduced.

In addition, in this embodiment, in the first specific role winning auxiliary performance and the second specific role winning auxiliary performance, each of the specific navigation display objects IMG20 corresponding to each stop button is positioned above each stop button B1 to B3. What is necessary is to display the specific navigation display object IMG20. For example, in the first specific winning assist effect, as shown in FIG. 46(A), the specific navigation display object corresponding to the stop button B1 is displayed in the first virtual area E1. IMG20 (at least a part of the specific navigation display object IMG20) is located, and the specific navigation display object IMG20 (at least a part of the specific navigation display object IMG20) corresponding to the stop button B2 is located within the second virtual area E2. 3. The specific navigation display object IMG20 (at least a part of the specific navigation display object IMG20) corresponding to the stop button B3 is displayed so as to be located within the virtual area E3, and similarly in the second specific combination prize winning assistance production, the display shown in FIG. As shown in (B), a specific navigation display object IMG20 (at least a part of the specific navigation display object IMG20) corresponding to each stop button is located in the first virtual area E1, second virtual area E2, and third virtual area E3. It may be displayed so that it is located.

In the example shown in FIG. 46, the proportion in which the specific navigation display object IMG20 corresponding to the stop button B1 is included in the first virtual area E1 is higher than that in the second specific combination winning assistance effect shown in FIG. 46(B). The first specific role winning auxiliary performance shown in A) is larger (for example, 100% for the first specific role winning auxiliary performance and 10% for the second specific role winning auxiliary performance). Similarly, the percentage of the specific navigation display object IMG20 corresponding to the stop button B3 being included in the third virtual area E3 is higher than that of the second specific combination winning assistance effect shown in FIG. 46(A). The 1st specific role winning auxiliary performance is larger (for example, 100% for the 1st specific role winning auxiliary performance and 10% for the 2nd specific role winning auxiliary performance). As a result, in the first specific role winning auxiliary performance, each specific navigation display object IMG20 is displayed smaller than in the second specific role winning auxiliary performance, but the specific navigation display object IMG20 corresponding to the stop button B1 is within the first virtual area E1. Since the specific navigation display object IMG20 corresponding to the stop button B3 has a large proportion included in the third virtual area E3, it is possible to easily recognize the operation order and perform effective production. This makes it possible to prevent operational errors in the pressing order as much as possible. Note that the proportion of each specific navigation display object included in each virtual area may be larger or smaller in the first specific role winning auxiliary performance than in the second specific role winning auxiliary performance, or even if they are the same. That's fine, for some specific navigation display objects, the first specific role winning auxiliary effect is larger than the second specific role winning auxiliary effect, but for other specific navigation objects, the first specific role winning auxiliary effect is larger than the second specific role winning auxiliary effect. The specific role winning auxiliary effect may be smaller, and some specific navigation display items may have the first specific role winning auxiliary effect larger or smaller than the second specific role winning auxiliary effect, but other specific navigation displays may be smaller. The object may be the same for the second specific role winning auxiliary performance and the first specific role winning auxiliary performance.

Furthermore, in the present embodiment, in the first winning auxiliary performance or the one specific role winning auxiliary performance, the position of the third left virtual straight line LL3 is not limited to the position passing through the center of the stop button B1, but is located in the first virtual area E1. The position of the third medium virtual straight line CL3 may be any position as long as at least a part of the navigation numeral display object or the specific navigation display object IMG20 corresponding to the stop button B1 is included within the stop button B1. The position is not limited to the position passing through the center of B2, but may be any position that includes at least a part of the navigation numeral display object or specific navigation display object IMG20 corresponding to the stop button B2 within the second virtual area E2. The position of the third right virtual straight line RL3 is not limited to a position passing through the center of the stop button B3, but may be a navigation number display or a specific navigation display corresponding to the stop button B3 within the third virtual area E3. The position may be any position that includes at least a portion of the object IMG20.

Similarly, in the second winning auxiliary performance or the second specific role winning auxiliary performance, the position of the first left virtual straight line LL1 is not limited to the position passing through the center of the width of the first reel R1, but is within the first virtual area E1. may be any position as long as it includes at least a part of the navigation numeral display object or specific navigation display object IMG20 corresponding to the stop button B1, and the position of the first middle virtual straight line CL1 is the position of the second reel. The position is not limited to a position that passes through the center of the width of R2, but any position that includes at least a part of the navigation numeral display object or specific navigation display object IMG20 corresponding to the stop button B2 within the second virtual area E2. The position of the first right virtual straight line RL1 is not limited to the position passing through the center of the width of the third reel R3. The position may be any position as long as it includes at least a part of the object or the specific navigation display object IMG20.

That is, in this embodiment, the positions of the third left imaginary straight line LL3 in the first winning auxiliary performance or the first specific role winning auxiliary performance and the first left imaginary straight line LL1 in the second winning auxiliary performance or the second specific role winning auxiliary performance are may be at the same position or at different positions, and the third medium virtual straight line CL3 in the first winning auxiliary performance or the first specific role winning auxiliary performance and the second winning auxiliary performance or the second specific role winning auxiliary performance The position of the first middle imaginary straight line CL1 in the auxiliary performance may be the same position or a different position, and is different from the third right imaginary straight line RL3 in the first winning auxiliary performance or the first specific role winning auxiliary performance. The position of the first right virtual straight line RL1 in the second winning auxiliary performance or the second specific winning auxiliary performance may be the same position or may be a different position.

Further, in the present embodiment, the interval between the specific navigation display objects IMG20 in the first specific winning auxiliary performance is narrower than the interval between the respective navigation number display objects in the second winning auxiliary performance. For example, as shown in FIG. 41(B) and FIG. 45(A), the specific navigation display object IMG20 at the first display position and the specific navigation display object IMG20 at the second display position in the first specific winning auxiliary performance of FIG. 45(A) The interval B3 between the display object IMG20 and the display object IMG20 is narrower than the interval A1 between the second navigation numeral display object IMG2 and the third navigation numeral display object IMG3 in the second winning auxiliary performance of FIG. The distance B4 between the specific navigation display object IMG20 at the second display position and the specific navigation display object IMG20 at the third display position in the first specific winning assist performance is the same as the interval B4 between the specific navigation display object IMG20 at the second display position and the third navigation display object IMG20 at the third display position in the first specific winning assist performance. The distance is narrower than the distance A2 between the number display object IMG3 and the first navigation number display object IMG1. In this case, the navigation numeral display may be enlarged and displayed in the second prize-winning auxiliary performance so that A1<B3 and A2<B4.

4. Fourth embodiment

In this embodiment, a detailed explanation of the configuration and control method common to the third embodiment will be omitted, and the main differences will be explained. The control method employed in the gaming machine of this embodiment will be described below with reference to FIGS. 47 and 48. Note that FIGS. 47 and 48 are diagrams for explaining the correspondence among the reels, stop button, navigation numeral display objects, and specific navigation display objects in the gaming machine of this embodiment.

First, in this embodiment, the second winning auxiliary performance (the first winning auxiliary performance) among the first winning auxiliary performance, the second winning auxiliary performance, the first special role winning auxiliary performance, and the second special role winning auxiliary performance is used as the winning auxiliary performance. (an example of a game auxiliary performance) and a second specific role winning auxiliary performance (an example of a second game auxiliary performance).

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the design of the image of the specific navigation display object IMG20 in the second specific role winning assistance production is different from that in the third embodiment, and as shown in FIG. 47(B), the design of the image is based on the character A. It has a unique design. In addition, in the second specific winning auxiliary performance, in order to display the specific navigation display object IMG20 larger than the second winning auxiliary performance, the area occupied by the image of the specific navigation display object IMG20 shown in FIG. 47(B) is It is larger than any of the navigation number display objects IMG1-3 of "1", "2", and "3" in the presentation.

For example, as shown in FIGS. 38(A) and 38(B), the first navigation numeral display object IMG1 is displayed in the second size (for example, 100% display magnification) in the second winning supplementary effect, and the second navigation numeral A case where the display object IMG2 is displayed in the fifth size (e.g., 80% display magnification) and the third navigation numeral display object IMG3 is displayed in the first size (e.g., 60% display magnification), and FIG. 47(B) As shown in , when the specific navigation display object IMG20 is displayed in the third size (for example, 140% display magnification) in the second specific winning auxiliary performance, the specific navigation display object IMG20 is larger than each navigation number display. Images occupy a larger area than objects.

In addition, in this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 47(A) and 47(B), a straight line passing through the center of the width of each reel and perpendicular to the bottom surface of the slot machine (casing) , each stop button is provided so that the center of the width of the stop button corresponding to each reel is located. Note that FIG. 47(A) shows the case where the second winning assistance effect shown in FIGS. 38(A) and (B) is executed, and FIG. This is a case where a prize-winning supplementary performance is executed.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the positions of the first left imaginary straight line LL1 and the third left imaginary straight line LL3 are the same (same line), and the positions of the first left imaginary straight line CL1 and the third left imaginary straight line CL3 are the same. The positions are the same (the same line), and the positions of the first right virtual straight line RL1 and the third right virtual straight line RL3 are the same (the same line). In other words, the first left imaginary straight line LL1 and the third left imaginary straight line LL3 are the same, the first middle imaginary straight line CL1 and the third middle imaginary straight line CL3 are the same, and the first right The virtual straight line RL1 and the third right virtual straight line RL3 are the same.

In addition, in this embodiment, the display position of the navigation number display object in the second winning auxiliary performance and the display position of the specific navigation display object IMG20 in the second specific role winning auxiliary performance are at the same position (in the same way). Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 47(A) and 47(B), in the second specific role winning auxiliary performance, the specific navigation display object IMG20 is displayed at the same position (in the same way) as the first winning auxiliary performance. .

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the interval between each navigation number display object in the second winning auxiliary performance is wider than the interval between each specific navigation number display object IMG20 in the second specific winning combination winning auxiliary performance. For example, as shown in FIGS. 47(A) and 47(B), the interval A1 between the second navigation numeral display object IMG2 and the third navigation numeral display object IMG3 in the second winning auxiliary performance of FIG. 47(B), the distance between the specific navigation display object IMG20 at the first display position and the specific navigation display object IMG20 at the second display position in the second specific winning combination presentation in FIG. The interval A2 between the third navigation numeral display object IMG3 and the first navigation numeral display object IMG1 in the winning auxiliary performance is the same as the specific navigation display object IMG20 at the second display position in the second specific winning auxiliary performance in FIG. 47(B). The distance is wider than the distance A6 between the third display position and the specific navigation display object IMG20.

Even in this case, the same effect as in the third embodiment is achieved, and in the second winning assistance performance and the second specific winning assistance performance, the position corresponding to each stop button and the position corresponding to each reel is Since each reel, each stop button, and each navigation number display object or specific navigation display object IMG20 are on the same straight line, the reels, stop buttons, and navigation numbers are displayed. The correspondence relationship with the display object or the specific navigation display object IMG20 can be made easy to understand, and effective performance can be performed.

In addition, in the second winning auxiliary performance of this embodiment, the navigation number display objects IMG1 to 3 of "1", "2", and "3" are displayed smaller than the specific navigation display object IMG20 of the second specific role winning auxiliary performance. Therefore, the player's degree of attention to the display can be relatively lowered than when the second specific winning combination winning assist effect is executed, and the display of other effect images can also be drawn to attention.

In addition, in the second specific winning auxiliary performance of the present embodiment, in order to display the specific navigation display object IMG20 at the same position (in the same way) as the display position of the navigation number display object in the second winning auxiliary performance, The correspondence between the reels, the stop button, and the navigation number display object or the specific navigation display object IMG20 can be made the same between the auxiliary performance and the second specific role winning auxiliary performance, and an effective performance can be performed. .

In addition, in this embodiment, similarly to the third embodiment, in the second winning auxiliary performance and the second specific winning auxiliary performance, navigation numerals corresponding to each stop button are displayed above each stop button B1 to B3. Alternatively, each navigation number display object or each specific navigation display object IMG20 may be displayed so that the specific navigation display object IMG20 is located, for example, within the first virtual area E1, second virtual area E2, and third virtual area E3. The navigation number display object or the specific navigation display object IMG20 may be displayed so that at least a part of it is located at. Note that the proportion of each navigation number display object or each specific navigation display object IMG20 included in each virtual area may be larger or smaller in the second specific winning combination prize presentation than in the second prize winning supplementary presentation. It may be the same, or some navigation number display objects may be larger than the second specific role winning auxiliary effect, while other navigation number display objects may be smaller than the second specific role winning auxiliary effect, or one Although the navigation number display of the part is larger or smaller than the second specific role winning auxiliary performance, the other navigation number display may be the same as the second specific role winning auxiliary performance.

Further, similarly to the third embodiment, the positions of the first left virtual straight line LL1 and the third left virtual straight line LL3 are located within the first virtual area E1 on the navigation numeral display object or the specific navigation display object corresponding to the stop button B1. Any position may be used as long as at least a part of the IMG 20 is included, and the positions of the first medium imaginary straight line CL1 and the third medium imaginary straight line CL3 correspond to the stop button B2 within the second virtual area E2. The position of the first right virtual straight line RL1 and the third right virtual straight line RL3 may be any position as long as it includes at least a part of the navigation numeral display object or the specific navigation display object IMG20. It may be any position as long as at least a part of the navigation numeral display object or specific navigation display object IMG20 corresponding to the stop button B3 is included in the virtual area E3.

Further, similarly to the third embodiment, the positions of the first left virtual straight line LL1 and the third left virtual straight line LL3 may be the same or different positions, and the first middle virtual straight line CL1 The positions of and the third middle virtual straight line CL3 may be the same position or different positions, and the positions of the first right virtual straight line RL1 and the third right virtual straight line RL3 may be the same position. It may be in a different position.

Further, in the present embodiment, the specific navigation display object IMG20 may be displayed in a position different from the display position of the navigation number display object in the second winning assistance performance in the second specific winning assistance performance.

Further, in this embodiment, the first winning assisting performance or the first specific winning assisting performance may be executed as the winning assisting performance. In this example, as shown in FIG. 48(A), in the first winning supplementary effect, navigation numerals are displayed at positions corresponding to each stop button and corresponding to each reel. ), in the first specific winning auxiliary performance, a specific navigation display object IMG20 is displayed at a position corresponding to each stop button and corresponding to each reel, and the first specific winning auxiliary performance and the first specific In the winning auxiliary performance, the navigation number display object and the specific navigation display object IMG20 may be displayed at the same position (in the same way) as the second winning auxiliary performance and the second specific role winning auxiliary performance.

Further, in this example, the interval between the navigation numerals in the first prize-winning auxiliary performance is wider than the interval between the navigation numerals in the second prize-winning auxiliary performance. For example, as shown in FIGS. 47(A) and 48(A), the interval B1 between the second navigation numeral display object IMG2 and the third navigation numeral display object IMG3 in the first prize-winning auxiliary performance of FIG. 48(A) is , is wider than the interval A1 between the second navigation numeral display object IMG2 and the third navigation numeral display object IMG3 in the second winning auxiliary performance in FIG. The distance B2 between the navigation number display object IMG3 and the first navigation number display object IMG1 is the distance A2 between the third navigation number display object IMG3 and the first navigation number display object IMG1 in the second winning auxiliary performance of FIG. 47(A). becomes wider than In this case, the navigation numeral display may be enlarged and displayed in the second prize-winning auxiliary performance so that B1<A1 and B2<A2.

Further, in this example, the interval between each specific navigation display object IMG20 in the first specific role winning auxiliary performance is wider than the interval between each specific navigation display object IMG20 in the second specific role winning auxiliary performance. For example, as shown in FIGS. 47(B) and 48(B), the specific navigation display object IMG20 at the first display position and the specific navigation display object IMG20 at the second display position in the first specific winning assist performance of FIG. 48(B) The distance B5 between the display object IMG20 and the display object IMG20 is greater than the distance A5 between the specific navigation display object IMG20 at the first display position and the specific navigation display object IMG20 at the second display position in the second specific winning assist performance shown in FIG. 47(B). Broadly speaking, the interval B6 between the specific navigation display object IMG20 at the second display position and the specific navigation display object IMG20 at the third display position in the first specific winning combination presentation in FIG. It is wider than the interval A6 between the specific navigation display object IMG20 at the second display position and the specific navigation display object IMG20 at the third display position in the 2-specific winning assist performance. In this case, the specific navigation display object may be displayed at a position where B5<A5 and B6<A6 in the first specific role winning assist performance or the second specific role winning assist performance.

Further, in this example, the first display position and the third display position in the second prize-winning auxiliary performance may be set to different positions from those in the first prize-winning auxiliary performance. For example, the first display position is set on the second left imaginary straight line LL2, the third display position is set on the second right imaginary straight line RL2, and in the second prize-winning auxiliary performance, as shown in FIG. 49(A), , the center of the second navigation numeral display object IMG2 is located on the second left imaginary straight line LL2, the center of the third navigation numeral display object IMG3 is located on the second middle imaginary straight line CL2, and the center of the third navigation numeral display object IMG3 is located on the second right imaginary straight line RL2. The first navigation numeral display object IMG1 may be displayed so that its center is located.

Further, the second display position in the second winning auxiliary performance may also be set to a different position from the first winning auxiliary performance. For example, in the first winning auxiliary performance, as shown in FIG. Each navigation number display object is displayed in the lower display area, and in the second prize-winning supplementary effect, each navigation number display object is displayed in the upper (or middle) display area of the liquid crystal display LCD, as shown in FIG. 49(A). may be displayed.

Even in this case, the same effect as in the above embodiment is achieved, and in the first prize-winning auxiliary performance, each reel, each stop button, and each navigation number display are on the same straight line, as shown in FIG. 48(A). , it is possible to easily understand the correspondence between the reels, the stop button, and the navigation numeral display objects, and it is possible to perform effective performances.

Further, in this example, the interval between the navigation numerals in the first prize-winning auxiliary performance is narrower than the interval between the navigation numerals in the second prize-winning auxiliary performance. For example, as shown in FIGS. 48(A) and 49(A), the interval B1 between the second navigation numeral display object IMG2 and the third navigation numeral display object IMG3 in the first prize-winning auxiliary performance of FIG. 48(A) is , narrower than the interval A1 between the second navigation numeral display object IMG2 and the third navigation numeral display object IMG3 in the second winning auxiliary performance of FIG. The interval B2 between the navigation number display object IMG3 and the first navigation number display object IMG1 is the interval A2 between the third navigation number display object IMG3 and the first navigation number display object IMG1 in the second winning auxiliary performance of FIG. 49(A). becomes narrower than In this case, the navigation numeral display may be enlarged and displayed in the second prize-winning auxiliary performance so that A1<B1 and A2<B2.

For example, the first display position is set on the fourth left virtual straight line LL4 (a straight line passing through the right end of the stop button B1 and perpendicular to the bottom surface of the slot machine (casing)), and the third display The position is set on the fourth right virtual straight line RL4 (a straight line passing through the left end of the stop button B3 and perpendicular to the bottom of the slot machine (casing)), and in the second winning supplementary performance, the position shown in FIG. As shown in (B), the center of the second navigation numeral display object IMG2 is located on the fourth left virtual straight line LL4, the center of the third navigation numeral display object IMG3 is located on the second middle virtual straight line CL2, and 4. The center of the first navigation numeral display object IMG1 may be displayed so as to be located on the right virtual straight line RL4.

Also, for the first winning auxiliary performance, the first specific role winning auxiliary performance, and the second specific role winning auxiliary performance, the first display position is set on the second left virtual straight line LL2 or the fourth left virtual straight line LL4, and 3 display position is set on the second right virtual straight line RL2 or the fourth right virtual straight line RL4, and in the first winning auxiliary performance, the first specific role winning auxiliary performance, and the second specific role winning auxiliary performance, the second left virtual The center of the navigation numeral display object or the specific navigation display object IMG20 is located on the straight line LL2 or the fourth left virtual straight line LL4, and the center of the navigation numeral display object or the specific navigation display object IMG20 is located on the second middle virtual straight line CL2, The center of the navigation numeral display object or the specific navigation display object IMG20 may be displayed so as to be located on the second right virtual straight line RL2 or the fourth right virtual straight line RL4.

5. Modifications The present invention is not limited to those described in the above embodiments, and various modifications are possible, and modifications will be introduced below. Note that the embodiments described above and various methods described below as modified examples can be employed in appropriate combinations as control methods for realizing the present invention.

In the above embodiment, an example has been explained in which the navigation number display objects IMG1 to 3 of "1", "2", and "3" appear sequentially in the prize-winning assistance performance, but these navigation number display objects IMG1 to IMG3 It is not necessary to make them appear sequentially, these navigation number display objects IMG1 to 3 may appear at the same time, or the navigation number display object IMG1 of "1" appears first, followed by "1". The navigation numerals IMG2 and IMG2 and IMG3 of "2" and "3" may appear simultaneously.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, when the navigation number display objects IMG1 to IMG3 of "1", "2", and "3" are to appear in the winning assistance effect, these navigation number display objects IMG1 to IMG3 are displayed in two frames (2/30 The explanation has been given using an example where the display start timing is shifted by 2 seconds), but the time to shift the display start timing is not limited to 2 frames (2/30 seconds), but 1 frame (1/30 seconds). ) or 3 frames (3/30 seconds), etc. You can also set the waiting time from the start of the display of "1" to the start of the display of "2" to the display of "2". It may be longer or shorter than the waiting time from the start until the display of "3" starts, or it may be the same time.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, when the navigation numerals IMG1 to 3 representing "1", "2", and "3" appear in the prize-winning auxiliary performance, the navigation numerals IMG1 to 3 representing "1", "2", and "3" are displayed. The explanation was given using an example where each of IMG1 to IMG3 is enlarged and displayed for the same predetermined display time. The display time required for the enlarged display of a display object (for example, the first navigation numeral display object IMG1) is not required for the enlarged display of other navigation numeral objects (for example, the second navigation numeral display object IMG2 or the third navigation numeral display object IMG3). It may be longer or shorter than the required display time. For example, in a prize-winning supplementary performance, the display start timing of the navigation number display objects IMG1 to 3 for "1", "2", and "3" is shifted by a predetermined waiting time (for example, 2 frames (2/30 seconds)). The enlarged display of all the navigation number display objects IMG1-3 may be ended at the same time, or the navigation number display objects IMG1-3 of "1", "2", "3" may be Display them at the same time and start the enlarged display, and end the enlarged display at a timing depending on the type of navigation numerals, and end the enlarged display of some navigation numerals at a different timing from other navigation numerals. You may also do so.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, when the navigation numerals IMG1 to 3 representing "1", "2", and "3" appear in the prize-winning auxiliary performance, the navigation numerals IMG1 to 3 representing "1", "2", and "3" are displayed. The explanation was given using the case where each of IMG1 to 3 is enlarged and displayed in 3 frames (3/30 seconds), but the display time required to enlarge the navigation numeric display is limited to 3 frames (3/30 seconds). It can be set arbitrarily, such as 2 frames (2/30 seconds) or 4 frames (4/30 seconds).

Furthermore, in the first embodiment described above, when the navigation numeral display objects IMG1 to 3 of "1", "2", and "3" are to appear in the prize-winning auxiliary performance, when the enlarged display of the first navigation numeral display object IMG1 is finished; , the first navigation numeral display object IMG1 is displayed in a display mode that repeats enlarged display and reduced display until the first stop operation is performed. The first navigation numeral display object IMG1 may be displayed at a constant size (for example, the second size) until an operation is performed. In this example, when the first stop operation is performed according to the correct batting order in a game in which the winning assist effect is executed, the first navigation number display object IMG1 corresponding to the stop operation is changed to a third size (for example, 140%). The first navigation numeral display object IMG1 may be displayed in a reduced size after being enlarged to a display magnification (display magnification), or the first navigation numeral display object IMG1 may be displayed in a reduced size without being enlarged.

Similarly, when the first or second stop operation is performed in accordance with the correct batting order in a game in which a winning assist effect is executed, the enlarged display of the navigation number display corresponding to the next stop operation is completed. , the case where the navigation numeral display corresponding to the next stop operation to be performed is displayed in a display mode that repeats enlarged display and reduced display until the next stop operation is performed was explained as an example, but the enlarged display ends. Then, the navigation numeral display corresponding to the next stop operation may be displayed at a constant size (for example, the third size) until the next stop operation is performed. In this example, when the second or third stop operation is performed according to the correct batting order in a game in which the winning assist effect is executed, the navigation number display corresponding to the stop operation is changed to the fourth size (for example, 180%). The display may be enlarged to a display magnification (display magnification) and then reduced, or the navigation numeral display object corresponding to the stop operation may be displayed reduced without being enlarged.

In addition, in the above embodiment, when the navigation numeral display objects IMG1 to 3 of "1", "2", and "3" appear in the prize-winning assistance performance, the display of the appearance effect video image of the first navigation numeral display object IMG1 ends. The explanation was given by taking as an example the case where the display of the navigation appearance video that causes the navigation number display objects IMG1 to 3 of "1", "2", and "3" to appear is finished, but when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed, It is desirable to finish displaying the navigation appearance video before the operation is activated. Note that the appearance effect video of the first navigation numeral display object IMG1 does not have to be displayed completely until the stop operations on the stop buttons B1 to B3 are activated.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, when the navigation number display objects IMG1 to 3 of "1", "2", and "3" are made to appear in the winning assistance performance, the transparency of these navigation number display objects IMG1 to 3 is not changed. Although the explanation has been given using the example, the transparency of these navigation numerals IMG1 to IMG3 may be changed, for example, the transparency may be gradually reduced from 100% to 0%.

In addition, in the above embodiment, when erasing a corresponding navigation numeral display object in response to a stop operation performed in accordance with the correct batting order in a game in which a winning assist effect is executed, the navigation numeral display object to be erased is enlarged and displayed. Although the explanation has been given using an example where the navigation numeral display object is displayed in a reduced size after the navigation numeral display is deleted, changes in the display mode of the navigation numeral display object to be erased are not limited to enlarged display or reduced display; for example, It is also possible to change the shape of the navigation numeral display object to be erased. In other words, when erasing the corresponding navigation numeral display object in response to a stop operation performed in accordance with the correct batting order in a game in which the winning assist effect is executed, the first method changes the display mode of the navigation numeral display object to be erased. A moving image (animation) and a second moving image (animation) are displayed, and while the first moving image is displayed, the transparency of the navigation numeral display to be erased is not changed, and the first moving image is Subsequently, the transparency of the navigation numeral display to be erased may be changed after the display of the second moving image is started.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, when erasing a corresponding navigation numeral display object in response to a stop operation performed in accordance with the correct batting order in a game in which a winning assist effect is executed, the transparency of the navigation numeral display object to be erased is set to 0. The explanation was given using the example of changing the transparency from % to 100%, but it is not necessary to change the transparency of the navigation numeric display to be erased to 100%. It may be changed.

In addition, in the above embodiment, when erasing a corresponding navigation numeral display object in response to a stop operation performed in accordance with the correct batting order in a game in which a winning assist effect is executed, the navigation numeral display object to be erased is enlarged and displayed. The explanation was given by taking as an example a case where the transparency of the navigation numeral display is not changed while the navigation numeral is being deleted, and the transparency of the navigation numeral display is changed after the reduced display of the navigation numeral to be erased starts. The transparency of the navigation numeral display object to be erased may be changed while the navigation numeral display object to be erased is enlarged (the first moving image is displayed), or the navigation numeral display object to be erased may be reduced. The transparency of the navigation numeral display object may not be changed even while it is being displayed (displaying the second moving image).

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, when erasing a corresponding navigation numeral display object in response to a stop operation performed in accordance with the correct batting order in a game in which a winning assist effect is executed, the navigation numeral display object to be erased is enlarged and displayed. Although the explanation has been given using an example where the image is displayed in a reduced size after the image is displayed in a reduced size, it may be displayed in a reduced size without being displayed in an enlarged manner.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, when erasing the corresponding navigation numeral display object in response to a stop operation performed in accordance with the correct batting order in a game in which the winning assist effect is executed, the navigation numeral display object corresponding to the stop operation is deleted. The explanation was given using an example where the display is enlarged in 1 frame (1/30 seconds) and then reduced in size. It is not limited to 2 frames (2/30 seconds) or 3 frames (3/30 seconds), etc., and can be set arbitrarily such as 2 frames (2/30 seconds) or 3 frames (3/30 seconds). The display time may be less than or equal to the display time required for enlarged display (for example, 3 frames (3/30 seconds)).

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, when erasing the corresponding navigation numeral display object in response to a stop operation performed in accordance with the correct batting order in a game in which a winning assist effect is executed, an enlarged display is displayed when the navigation numeral display object appears. The navigation numeral display object corresponding to the stop operation is displayed in a reduced size with a longer display time (for example, 4 frames (3/30 seconds)) than the predetermined display time (for example, 3 frames (3/30 seconds)) required for the stop operation. Although the case has been explained as an example, the display time required to reduce the size of the navigation numeral display corresponding to the stop operation is not limited to 4 frames (4/30 seconds), but may be 2 frames (2/30 seconds). The display time can be arbitrarily set such as 3 frames (3/30 seconds) or 3 frames (3/30 seconds), and is shorter than the predetermined display time (for example, 3 frames (3/30 seconds)) required for enlarged display when the navigation number display object appears. (a display time different from the predetermined display time) or the navigation numeral display object corresponding to the stop operation may be displayed in a reduced size during the same display time. In other words, in this example, when the first or second stop operation is performed in accordance with the correct batting order in a game in which the winning assist effect is executed, the enlarged display of the navigation number display corresponding to the next stop operation to be performed ends. The navigation numeral display object corresponding to the stop operation may be erased until the stop operation is performed. In this way, since the navigation numeral display object corresponding to the stop operation is quickly erased, it is possible to easily recognize that the navigation numeral display object is erased, so that the type of stop button to be operated next can be easily recognized. It is possible to prevent misunderstandings and to perform effective performances.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, in response to the first or second stop operation performed in accordance with the correct batting order in the game in which the winning assist effect is executed, the navigation number display corresponding to the next stop operation to be performed is enlarged. When displaying the navigation number display, the navigation number corresponding to the next stop operation is displayed with the same display time as the predetermined display time (for example, 3 frames (3/30 seconds)) required for enlarged display when the navigation number display object appears. The explanation has been given using the example of enlarging the numerical display, but the display time required to enlarge the navigation numerical display corresponding to the next stop operation is limited to 3 frames (3/30 seconds). Instead, it can be set arbitrarily, such as 1 frame (1/30 seconds), 2 frames (2/30 seconds), or 4 frames (4/30 seconds), and the time required for enlarged display when a navigation number display object appears. The navigation numeral display object corresponding to the stop operation to be performed next may be displayed in an enlarged manner with a display time shorter or longer than the predetermined display time.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, in response to the first or second stop operation performed in accordance with the correct batting order in the game in which the winning assist effect is executed, the navigation number display corresponding to the next stop operation to be performed is enlarged. In the case of displaying, an example has been described in which the transparency of the navigation numeral display object corresponding to the stop operation is not changed, but the transparency of the navigation numeral display object corresponding to the stop operation may be changed.

Further, in the above embodiment, when a game start operation is performed on the start lever SL in the winning assist performance, the appearance effect image IMG4 is displayed superimposed on the first navigation number display object IMG1, so that the first navigation number display object IMG1 is displayed. The explanation has been given using an example where an appearance effect is generated, but the appearance effect may also be generated by displaying the appearance effect image IMG4 in a display area different from the display area of the first navigation number display object IMG1. Okay, by displaying the appearance effect image IMG4 superimposed on the second navigation number display object IMG2 and the third navigation number display object IMG3 instead of the first navigation number display object IMG1, the second navigation number display object IMG2 and the third navigation number display object IMG2 and the third navigation number display object IMG2 are displayed. An appearance effect may be generated for the navigation number display object IMG3, or an appearance effect may be generated for all the navigation number display objects IMG1 to IMG3.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, when a game start operation is performed on the start lever SL in the winning assist performance, "1", "2", " 3" has been explained by taking as an example the case where the display of the navigation appearance video that makes the navigation number display objects IMG1 to 3 appear is finished, but at least until the display of the appearance effect video of the first navigation number display object IMG1 is finished. It is sufficient to finish enlarging the navigation numeral display object IMG1 for "1", and for the navigation numeral display objects IMG2 and 3 for "2" and "3", the appearance effect video of the first navigation numeral display object IMG1 is displayed. The enlarged display may end after the end. In this example, the display time required to display the appearance effect video of the first navigation number display object IMG1 is set to 3 frames (3/30 seconds) or 6 frames (6/30 seconds), and the first navigation number display When the display of the appearance effect video of the object IMG1 is completed, the display may be shifted to a loop display. Further, the display end timing of the navigation appearance video image and the appearance effect video image of the first navigation number display object IMG1 may be at the same time. In this example, the display time required to display the appearance effect video of the first navigation number display object IMG1 may be set to 7 frames (7/30 seconds).

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, when the display of the appearance effect video of the first navigation numeral display object IMG1 is finished in the prize-winning auxiliary performance, a loop display video of the appearance effect display object IMG4 is displayed (loop display) as an example. As explained above, it is not necessary to display the loop display video of the appearance effect display object IMG4, and when the display of the appearance effect video of the first navigation number display object IMG1 is finished, the appearance effect display object IMG4 is deleted. You can.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, when a game start operation is performed on the start lever SL in the winning assist performance, the display of the navigation numeral display object IMG1 of "1" and the display of the appearance effect image IMG4 are started simultaneously. As explained above, the display of the appearance effect image IMG4 may be started after the display of the navigation number display object IMG1 of "1" is started, or the display of the navigation number display object of "1" may be started after the display of the appearance effect image IMG4 is started. Display of the numerical display object IMG1 may be started.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, when the first or second stop operation is performed in accordance with the correct batting order in a game in which a winning assist effect is executed, by the time the navigation number display object corresponding to the stop operation is finished being erased, The explanation was given using an example of completing the enlarged display of the navigation numeral display corresponding to the stop operation to be performed next, but after the navigation numeral display corresponding to the stop operation has been erased, The enlarged display of the navigation numeral display object corresponding to the stop operation to be performed may be completed, or the next stop operation to be performed may be handled at the timing when the navigation numeral display object corresponding to the stop operation is completed. The enlarged display of the navigation numerals displayed may be completed.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, when the first or second stop operation is performed in accordance with the correct batting order in a game in which a winning assist effect is executed, the appearance effect is similar to the appearance effect that is generated when the navigation number display object appears at the start of the game. We have explained the case where the appearance effect of the display mode is generated for the navigation number display object that corresponds to the next stop operation, but it is also generated when the navigation number display object is to appear at the start of the game. An appearance effect with a display mode different from that of the appearance effect may be generated. Further, an appearance effect with different display modes may be generated at the time of the first stop operation and the time of the second stop operation.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, when the first or second stop operation is performed in accordance with the correct batting order in a game in which the winning assist effect is executed, the navigation number display object corresponding to the next stop operation to be performed is superimposed on the stop operation. The explanation has been given using an example in which the appearance effect is generated by displaying the appearance effect image IMG4, but the appearance effect image IMG4 is displayed in a display area different from the display area of the navigation numeral display object corresponding to the stop operation to be performed next. The appearance effect may be generated by displaying .

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, when the first or second stop operation is performed in accordance with the correct batting order in a game in which a winning assist effect is executed, the next Start displaying an appearance effect for the navigation number display object corresponding to the stop operation that should be operated, and even after the navigation number display object corresponding to the stop operation has been erased, the navigation corresponding to the next stop operation that should be operated. The explanation has been given using the example of displaying the appearance effect for a number display object, but the effect for the navigation number display object corresponding to the next stop operation that should be performed before the deletion of the navigation number display object corresponding to the stop operation is completed. The display of the appearance effect may be ended. In this example, the display time required to display the effect video of the navigation numeric display corresponding to the next stop operation is set to 5 frames (5/30 seconds) or less, and the next stop operation is set to 5 frames (5/30 seconds) or less. When the display of the appearance effect video of the navigation numeral display object corresponding to the operation is completed, the display may be shifted to a loop display.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, in response to the first or second stop operation performed in accordance with the correct batting order in the game in which the winning assist effect is executed, the navigation number display object corresponding to the next stop operation to be performed appears. The explanation has been given using an example where the loop display video of the appearing effect display object IMG4 is displayed (loop display) when the display of the effect video image is finished, but the loop display video of the appearing effect display object IMG4 must not be displayed. Alternatively, when the display of the appearance effect moving image of the first navigation number display object IMG1 is finished, the appearance effect display object IMG4 may be deleted.

In addition, in the above embodiment, when the first or second stop operation is performed in accordance with the correct batting order in a game in which the winning assist effect is executed, the navigation number display corresponding to the next stop operation is displayed in an enlarged manner. The explanation has been given using an example where the display of the appearance effect image IMG4 is started at the same time, but the display of the appearance effect image IMG4 is started after the enlarged display of the navigation numeral display corresponding to the next stop operation is started. Alternatively, after the display of the appearance effect image IMG4 is started, the enlarged display of the navigation numeral display object corresponding to the next stop operation to be performed may be started. In addition, when the first or second stop operation is performed in accordance with the correct batting order in a game in which the winning assist effect is executed, the navigation numeral display corresponding to the stop operation starts to be enlarged, and then the appearance effect image IMG4 is The display may be started, or after the display of the appearance effect image IMG4 is started, the enlarged display of the navigation number display object corresponding to the stop operation may be started, or the navigation number display corresponding to the stop operation may be started. The display of the appearance effect image IMG4 may be started after the reduced display that is performed subsequent to the enlarged display of the object is started.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, when the first, second, or third stop operation is performed in the game in which the winning assist effect is executed, a disappearing effect with a similar display mode is created corresponding to the stop operation. The explanation was given using the case where it occurs for the navigation numeral display as an example, but it occurs when some of the first, second, and third stop operations (for example, during the third stop operation) and when the other stop operations occur. An appearance effect with a different display mode may be generated at the time of the stop operation (the first and second stop operation), or an appearance effect with a different display mode may be generated at each stop operation. Good too.

Further, in the above embodiment, when a stop operation is performed in accordance with the correct batting order in a game in which a winning assist effect is executed, the disappearing effect image IMG5 is displayed superimposed on the navigation numeral display object corresponding to the stop operation. The explanation has been given using an example in which a disappearing effect is generated for a navigation numeral display object corresponding to a stop operation, but the disappearing effect image IMG5 is displayed in a display area different from the display area of the navigation numeral object corresponding to the stop operation. A disappearing effect may be generated by displaying the image.

Further, in the above embodiment, when a stop operation is performed in accordance with the correct batting order in a game in which a winning assist effect is executed, the navigation corresponding to the stop operation starts before the navigation number display object corresponding to the stop operation is erased. The explanation has been given by taking as an example a case where the display of the disappearing effect of the numerical display object is started and the disappearing effect is displayed even after the deletion of the navigation numerical display object corresponding to the stop operation is completed. The display of the disappearing effect may be ended before the navigation numeral display object is completely erased. In this example, the display time required to display the disappearing effect video of the navigation numeral display object corresponding to the stop operation may be set to 5 frames (5/30 seconds) or less.

Further, in the above embodiment, when a stop operation is performed in accordance with the correct batting order in a game in which a winning assist effect is executed, the enlarged display of the navigation numeral display corresponding to the stop operation and the display of the disappearing effect image IMG5 are simultaneously started. Although the explanation has been given using the example of the case where the navigation numeral display corresponding to the stop operation is started, the display of the disappearing effect image IMG5 may be started after the enlarged display of the navigation numeral display object corresponding to the stop operation is started, or the display of the disappearing effect image IMG5 is started. After that, the navigation numeral display object corresponding to the stop operation may start to be enlarged, or after the navigation numeral display object corresponding to the stop operation starts the reduced display that follows the enlargement display, it disappears. Display of effect image IMG5 may be started. In addition, when the first or second stop operation is performed in accordance with the correct batting order in a game where the winning assist effect is executed, the navigation numeral display corresponding to the next stop operation starts to be enlarged and then disappears. The display of the effect image IMG5 may be started, or after the display of the disappearing effect image IMG5 is started, the enlarged display of the navigation numeral display corresponding to the stop operation to be performed next may be started.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, when the first or second stop operation is performed according to the correct batting order in a game in which the winning assist effect is executed, the disappearing effect of the navigation number display object corresponding to the stop operation is not erased. , starts displaying the appearance effect of the navigation numeral display object corresponding to the stop operation to be performed next, and the stop operation to be performed next even after erasing the disappearing effect of the navigation numeral display object corresponding to the stop operation. The explanation has been given using the case where the appearance effect of the navigation numeral display object corresponding to the stop operation is displayed as an example, but it corresponds to the next stop operation that must be performed before the disappearing effect of the navigation numeral display object corresponding to the stop operation is erased. The display of the appearance effect of the navigation number display object may be ended. In this example, the display time required to display the disappearing effect video of the navigation numeral display object corresponding to the stop operation may be set to 8 frames (8/30 seconds) or more.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, when the first or second stop operation is performed in accordance with the correct batting order in the game in which the winning assist effect is executed, the disappearance effect image IMG5 of the navigation numeral display object corresponding to the stop operation is displayed. The explanation has been given by taking as an example a case where the display of the appearance effect image IMG4 of the navigation numeral display object corresponding to the stop operation to be operated next is started at the same time, but the appearance effect image IMG4 is started after the display of the disappearing effect image IMG5 is started. The display of the disappearing effect image IMG5 may be started after the display of the appearing effect image IMG4 is started.

In addition, in the above embodiment, if the next stop operation is performed before the disappearing effect displayed in response to the stop operation performed in accordance with the correct batting order in the game in which the winning assist effect is executed, the stop operation is The explanation was given using an example of forcibly erasing the disappearing effect of the navigation number display object corresponding to the operation, but even if the next stop operation is performed before the disappearing effect is erased, the disappearing effect will not be erased. The display may be continued. In addition, at the time of the third stop operation, any of the winning determination processing, medal payout processing, medal insertion, operation on the bet button B0, and game start operation on the start lever SL is performed before the disappearance effect is erased. The disappearing effect may continue to be displayed without being erased. However, if the payment button is operated before the disappearing effect is erased, the disappearing effect may be forcibly erased.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the case where the appearing effect display object IMG4 is drawn on a layer lower than the layer that draws the navigation numeral display objects IMG1 to 3 such as "1", "2", and "3" is taken as an example. As described above, the appearance effect display object IMG4 may be drawn in a layer higher than the layer that draws the navigation numeral display objects IMG1 to 3 of "1", "2", and "3". Further, each of the navigation number display objects IMG1 to 3 for "1", "2", and "3" may be drawn on separate layers, and the navigation number display objects for "1", "2", and "3" may be drawn on separate layers. Some or all of the navigation number display objects IMG1 to IMG3 may be drawn on the same layer.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the case where the disappearing effect display object IMG5 is drawn on a layer higher than the layer that draws the navigation numeral display objects IMG1 to 3 of "1", "2", and "3" is taken as an example. As explained above, the disappearing effect display object IMG5 may be drawn in a layer lower than the layer in which the navigation numeral display objects IMG1 to 3 of "1", "2", and "3" are drawn.

In addition, in the above embodiment, when a stop operation is performed in a pressing order that is different from the correct batting order in a game in which a winning assist effect is executed, the display mode that is currently displayed is the same as when the stopping operation is performed in accordance with the correct batting order. The explanation has been given using the case where all the navigation numerals are erased, but the navigation numerals displayed may be erased in a different display mode than when the stop operation is performed according to the correct batting order. For example, if a stop operation is performed in a pressing order different from the correct batting order in a game in which a winning assist effect is executed, the navigation numeral display that is being displayed is displayed in gray scale, and the next stop operation, inserting a medal, or When the bet button B0 is operated, the displayed navigation numeral object may be erased.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the case where the appearance effect and the disappearance effect are generated in the prize-winning assistance performance has been explained as an example, but one or both of the appearance effect and the disappearance effect may be omitted, or the appearance effect and the disappearance effect may be generated. There may be cases in which it occurs and cases in which it does not occur.

In addition, in the above embodiment, explanation has been given taking as an example a case where the correct batting order is 6 choices, but the correct batting order is the pressing order of operating the stop button B1 first, the pressing order of operating the stop button B2 first, and the pressing order of the stop button B1. There may be three options for the order in which the button B3 is pressed first. In this example, as shown in FIG. 50, in the winning auxiliary performance, the first navigation number display IMG1 indicates the first stop operation, and the second navigation display indicates that the second stop operation may be any of the following. By displaying the object IMG6 and the third navigation display object IMG7 indicating that the third stop operation may be performed at the display position corresponding to each of the stop buttons B1 to B3, the order of operation of each stop button can be changed. You may also make a notification. FIG. 50 is a diagram illustrating an image displayed in the prize-winning assistance performance when the pressing order in which the stop button B2 is operated first is the correct batting order. Also in this example, the prize-winning assistance performance may be executed in the same manner as in the above embodiment. In this example, when the first stop operation is performed according to the correct batting order in a game in which the winning assist effect is executed, the first navigation number display object IMG1, the second navigation display object IMG6, and the third navigation display object IMG7 are displayed. In this case, each of the first navigation number display object IMG1, the second navigation display object IMG6, and the third navigation display object IMG7 may be displayed in an enlarged manner and then reduced in size, or may be displayed in an enlarged manner. Alternatively, the first navigation number display object IMG1 may be displayed in a reduced size after being enlarged, and the second navigation display object IMG6 and the third navigation display object IMG7 may be displayed in a reduced size without being enlarged. It may also be displayed in a reduced size.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, an example has been described in which a sound effect is executed in which two types of effect sounds including navigation sound etc. are executed in the prize-winning assistance effect, but it is also possible to generate three or more types of effect sounds. good. In this example, the sound data of three or more types of effect sounds may be set to have different lengths of silent periods (including no silent period), and these sound data may be played simultaneously.

In addition, in the above embodiment, an example has been described in which a sound effect is executed in which a sound effect of a navigation appearance sound or a navigation disappearing sound and a navigation voice or a production sound are generated in a prize-winning auxiliary production. The sound effect to be generated is not limited to one type, but two or more types of sound effects may be generated, and the navigation sound or production sound to be generated with the sound effect is not limited to one type. Two or more types of navigation sounds or presentation sounds may be generated. In this example, the sound data of three or more types of effect sounds may be set to have different lengths of silent periods (including no silent period), and these sound data may be played simultaneously.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the case where silent data is provided at the beginning of the sound data of the navigation voice and the production voice is explained as an example, but the sound data of the navigation voice and the production voice and the silence data are separate data, and the navigation voice In the sound production that generates such as, silent data may be played at the same time as the sound data of the navigation appearance sound or the navigation disappearing sound, and when the reproduction of the silent data is finished, the sound data of the navigation sound or the performance sound may be played. . Even in this case, the same effects as those of the above embodiment can be achieved. Note that the silent data is not limited to data with a volume of "0", but may be sound data with a volume below a reference value.

Further, in the above embodiment, the case where silent data is provided at the beginning of the sound data of the navigation sound and the performance sound is explained as an example. Silence data may not be provided in the audio and the performance audio. Even in this case, the same effect as the above embodiment is achieved, and by simultaneously reproducing the sound data of the navigation appearance sound or the navigation disappearing sound and the sound data of the navigation sound or the performance sound, the volume of the navigation sound or the performance sound can be increased. The navigation appearance sound or navigation disappearance sound is not generated during the peak generation period, and the navigation appearance sound or navigation disappearance sound is generated after the silent period of the navigation appearance sound or navigation disappearance sound has elapsed, reducing the overlap of sounds. This makes it possible to easily hear the navigation appearance sound, the navigation disappearing sound, the navigation voice, and the performance sound, and it is possible to perform effective performance.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the example is a case where the silent period is set to the same length (same time) in the sound data of the navigation voices of "Hidari", "Naka", and "Migi" and the production voice of "Get". As explained above, the length of the silent period may be different. For example, the silent period may have the same length (same time) in the sound data of the navigation voice of "Hidari", "Naka", and "Migi". However, the length of the silent period for the effect sound of "Get" may be different (longer or shorter) than the navigation sounds for "Hidari", "Naka", and "Migi".

Further, in the above embodiment, the case where silent data (silent period) is provided at the beginning of the sound data of the navigation voice and the performance voice is explained as an example, but the silent data does not need to be provided, and for example, the navigation voice etc. In the sound production to be generated, the measurement of a silent period (for example, 100ms) is started at the same time as the sound data of the navigation appearance sound or the navigation disappearing sound starts to be played, and the sound of the navigation sound or the performance sound is triggered when the silent period has elapsed. The data may also be played back. Even in this case, the same effects as those of the above embodiment can be achieved.

Furthermore, the length of the silent period may be different for each operation trigger of the game start operation and the first to third stop operations on the start lever SL, or the length of the silent period may be different for each operation trigger of the start lever SL. For example, the length of the silent period may be different between the game start operation on the start lever SL and the first to third stop operations, or the length of the silent period may be different between the game start operation on the start lever SL and the first to third stop operations. The length of the silent period may be different between the first stop operation and the second and third stop operation. The length of the silent period may be different between the stop operation and the third stop operation. The length of the silent period may be different depending on the time, or the length of the silent period may be different depending on the time, or the length of the silent period may be different depending on the time of the game start operation on the start lever SL, the first and third stop operations, and the second stop operation. may be different. Further, the length of the silent period may be different between the game start operation on the start lever SL, the first stop operation, and the second and third stop operations, or when the game start operation on the start lever SL is performed. The length of the silent period may be different between the first and second stop operations and the third stop operation. The length of the silent period may be different between the second stop operation and the third stop operation. In this example, a plurality of sound data having different lengths of silent periods may be prepared for each navigation sound and performance sound, and the sound data may be selected according to the silent period for the performance sound to be generated.

In addition, if the length of the silent period is to be the same for some or all of the operation triggers for the game start operation and the first to third stop operations on the start lever SL, if the length of the silent period is to be completely the same, The lengths of the silent periods may be substantially the same or the same length. In particular, in the above embodiment, the length of the silent period is adjusted in relation to the output sounds such as "Hidari", "Naka", "Migi", and "Get" within a range that does not give the player a sense of discomfort. They may have substantially the same or similar length.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the length of the silent period in the sound data of the navigation sounds of "Hidari", "Naka", and "Migi", and the production sound of "Get" is set to, for example, 100 ms. However, the length of the silent period is not limited to this, and may be shorter or longer than 100 ms. Further, the length of the silent period may be set to be less than or equal to 190 ms, which is the maximum time required from when the stop button is pressed until the reels stop.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, an example has been described in which a sound effect is executed in which a navigation sound is generated in response to a game start operation and the first and second stop operations on the start lever SL, but a winning assist effect is executed. If the second stop operation is performed in accordance with the correct batting order in a game where the stop button is pressed next, the type of stop button to be operated next is determined, so it is possible to generate only the navigation disappearing sound without generating the navigation sound good.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, when the third stop operation is performed in accordance with the correct batting order in a game in which the winning assist effect is executed and a 15-piece small winning combination is won, the characters "GET!" are displayed on the liquid crystal display. Although the description has been made using an example, the characters "GET!" may be displayed when the stop button is pressed. In this way, the timing at which the effect sound of "GET" is generated and the timing at which the characters "GET!" are displayed can be made almost the same, and it is possible to prevent the player from feeling uncomfortable. In addition, in a game in which a prize-winning assistance effect is executed, the characters "GET!" may be configured not to be displayed even if the third stop operation is performed in accordance with the correct batting order, and in this case, the "GET" effect may be configured. It is also possible to generate only the navigation disappearing sound without generating any sound.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, an example is given in which a sound effect is executed in which a sound effect, navigation voice, etc. is generated in response to a press operation on the start lever SL or a press operation on the stop button. As explained in the manual, when the pressed state of the operated start lever SL is released or when the pressed state of the operated stop button is released, a sound effect is performed that generates sound effects, navigation sounds, etc. You may also do so.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, when the first, second, or third stop operation is performed according to the correct batting order in a game in which the winning assist effect is executed, the sound effect generates a navigation disappearing sound. As explained above, the navigation disappearing sound generated in each stop operation may be the same sound or may be different sounds. Further, only the navigation disappearing sound generated in some stop operations may be a different sound. Furthermore, the navigation appearance sound and the navigation disappearance sound may be the same sound or may be different sounds.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the case where the peak volume of the navigation appearance sound, navigation disappearing sound, navigation sound, and performance sound is set to a value larger than the peak volume of the BGM was explained as an example. The peak volume values of the sound, the navigation disappearing sound, the navigation sound, and the performance sound may be smaller than or the same as the peak volume of the BGM. Also, the peak volume value in the sound data of the navigation appearance sound may be the same value or a different value (smaller or larger value) than the peak volume value in the sound data of the navigation disappearing sound, navigation sound, or production sound. Also, the peak volume value in the sound data of the navigation disappearing sound may be the same value or a different value (smaller or larger value) than the peak volume value in the sound data of the navigation appearance sound, navigation sound, or performance sound. Alternatively, the peak volume value in the sound data of the navigation voice may be the same value or a different value (a smaller value or a larger value) than the peak value of the volume in the sound data of the navigation appearance sound, navigation disappearing sound, or production sound. The peak value of the volume in the sound data of the performance sound may be the same value as the peak value of the volume in the sound data of the navigation appearance sound, the navigation disappearing sound, or the sound data of the navigation sound. value).

In addition, the volume of the sound data of the navigation appearance sound may be the same value as the volume of the navigation disappearing sound, the navigation voice, or the production sound (a smaller value or a larger value), or the sound data of the navigation disappearing sound. The volume of the sound data for the navigation sound may be the same value as the volume of the sound data for the navigation appearance sound, the navigation sound, or the performance sound, or a different value (a smaller value or a larger value). The volume of the sound data for the appearance sound, the navigation disappearing sound, or the sound data for the navigation sound may be the same value or a different value (a smaller value or a larger value). It may be the same value or a different value (a smaller value or a larger value) than the sound volume of the lost sound or the sound data of the navigation voice.

Further, in the above embodiment, the navigation voice notifies the pressing order (correct batting order), but the navigation voice may also notify the pressing timing and the symbol to be aimed at, and the navigation voice may notify the pressing timing and the symbol to be aimed at. It may be a navigation voice or a symbol navigation voice indicating the symbol. For example, a specific winning mode is prepared in which a specific winning combination in which the symbol combination "Red 7, Red 7, Red 7" (specific symbol combination) can be displayed on the valid line or invalid line is won, and the specific winning mode is determined by an internal lottery. If you win, if the stop operation is performed in the pressing order that stops the third reel R3 first (stroke order 5, 6), the symbol combination "Red 7, Red 7, Red 7" (specific symbol combination) will be valid. When the rotating reels are stopped so that they can be displayed on the line or the invalid line, and the stop operation is performed in the batting order 1 to 4, the symbol combination "Red 7, Red 7, Red 7" (specific symbol combination) The rotating reels are stopped so as not to be displayed, and when a specific winning mode is won in the AT state, the number of games in the AT state is added. In this case, in the winning auxiliary performance, in response to the game start operation on the start lever SL, the third reel R3 is stopped in the pressing order (stroke order 5, 6) that stops it first, as shown in FIG. 51(A). It notifies you to perform an operation and to perform a stop operation at the timing of displaying the red 7 symbol "Red 7" (aiming for the red 7 symbol "Red 7"), and the sound production announces the game start operation on the start lever SL. In response to this, the navigation appearance sound and the navigation voice "Aim for 7" may be generated. The control method of the above embodiment can also be applied to this example. For example, by providing silent data at the beginning of the sound data of the navigation voice "Aim for 7" to create a silent period, the navigation voice for "Aim for 7" When performing a sound effect that generates a sound, the sound data of the navigation appearance sound and the sound data of the navigation sound of "Aim for 7" may be played simultaneously. In this way, the navigation voice "Aim for 7" can be made easier to hear.

In addition, in the above embodiment, when the batting order bell is won, the correct batting order results in a 15-piece small winning combination. If a winning combination is won and the stop operation is performed at a pressing timing different from the specific pressing timing, the rotating reels may be stopped so that the 15-piece small winning combination will not be won. For example, in the correct batting order when winning the batting order bell, if the first stop operation is performed at a specific press timing, a 15-piece small winning combination will be won, and the first stop operation will not be at a specific press timing. If the stop operation is performed at different press timings, the rotating reels may be stopped so that the 15-piece small winning combination will not be won. In this case, as shown in FIG. 51(B), in the winning assist performance, in response to the game start operation on the start lever SL, the first stop operation is pressed, and for example, the red 7 symbol "Red 7 " Aiming for the red 7 navigation symbol display object (navigation symbol image, navigation symbol display object) IMG8, the second navigation numeral display object IMG2, and the third navigation numeral display object IMG3 are displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD. By displaying the screen, the correct batting order and the timing of pressing the first stop operation are announced, and in response to the game start operation on the start lever SL, the navigation appearance sound and the navigation voice of "Aka" or "Aka 7" are displayed. (color navigation voice indicating the color of the symbol or symbol navigation voice indicating the symbol) may be generated. The control method of the above embodiment can also be applied to this example. For example, by providing silent data at the beginning of the sound data of the navigation voice of "Aka" or "Aka 7" to create a silent period, When performing a sound effect that generates the navigation voice of "Aka7", the sound data of the navigation appearance sound and the sound data of the navigation voice of "Aka" or "Aka7" may be played at the same time. . In this example, silent data may be provided at the beginning of the sound data of the navigation appearance sound. In this way, the navigation sound of "Aka" or "Aka 7", which is information useful to the player, can be generated before the navigation appearance sound. Further, in this example, instead of the navigation voice of "Aka" or "Aka7", the navigation voice of "Naka" may be generated.

For example, in the correct batting order when winning the batting order bell, if the third stop operation is performed at a specific press timing, a 15-piece small winning combination will be won; If the stop operation is performed at a different pressing timing, the rotating reels may be stopped so that the 15-piece small winning combination does not win. In this case, in the winning auxiliary performance, as shown in FIG. At the pressing timing of the stop operation, for example, an effect image including a red 7 navigation symbol display object (navigation symbol image, navigation symbol display object) IMG8 indicating that the red 7 symbol "Red 7" is to be aimed is displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD. The display notifies you of the correct batting order and the timing of pressing the third stop operation, and with the sound production, when the second stop operation is performed in accordance with the correct batting order, the navigation disappearing sound and "Aka" or "Aka 7" are played. (a color navigation voice indicating the color of the symbol or a symbol navigation voice indicating the symbol) may be generated. The control method of the above embodiment can also be applied to this example. For example, by providing silent data at the beginning of the sound data of the navigation voice of "Aka" or "Aka 7" to create a silent period, When performing a sound effect that generates the navigation voice of "Aka 7", etc., the sound data of the navigation disappearing sound and the sound data of the navigation voice of "Aka" or "Aka 7" may be played at the same time. . In this example, silent data may be provided at the beginning of the sound data of the navigation disappearing sound. In this way, the navigation sound of "Aka" or "Aka 7", which is information useful to the player, can be generated before the navigation disappearing sound. Further, in this example, instead of the navigation voice of "Aka" or "Aka7", the navigation voice of "Migi" may be generated.

Further, in the first and second embodiments, the first navigation numeral display object IMG1, the second navigation numeral display object IMG2, and the third navigation numeral display object are displayed in the winning assistance effect, and the third to fourth In the embodiment, the case where the first navigation numeral display object IMG1, the second navigation numeral display object IMG2, and the third navigation numeral display object are displayed in the first winning auxiliary performance and the second winning auxiliary performance was explained as an example. However, if the first and second stop operations are known, the correct batting order can be determined even if the last stop operation is not known, so the third navigation number display does not need to be displayed. That is, in the third to fourth embodiments, in the first prize-winning auxiliary performance, the first display position corresponding to the stop button B1 and the second display position corresponding to the stop button B2 (a plurality of positions corresponding to each stop operation means) The navigation number display object is displayed at at least some of the positions), and the navigation number display object is not displayed at the third display position corresponding to the stop button B3, and the navigation number display object is displayed at the third display position corresponding to the stop button B3, which corresponds to the first reel R1 in the second winning assistance performance. Display navigation numerals at the first display position corresponding to the second reel R2 and the second display position corresponding to the second reel R2 (at least some positions among the plurality of positions corresponding to each reel), and display the navigation numeral display object at the first display position corresponding to the second reel R2, and display the navigation number display object at the second display position corresponding to the second reel R2. The navigation number display may not be displayed at the third display position.

Further, in the third to fourth embodiments, the first left virtual straight line LL1, the first middle virtual straight line CL1, and the first right virtual straight line RL1 are straight lines passing through the center of the width of each reel. As explained above, any straight line passing through the approximate center of the width of each reel is sufficient.

Similarly, the third left virtual straight line LL3, the third middle virtual straight line CL3, and the third right virtual straight line RL3 are straight lines passing through the center of the width of each stop button. Any straight line passing through the approximate center of the width (approximately the center) is sufficient.

In addition, in the third to fourth embodiments described above, in the first winning auxiliary performance and the first specific role winning auxiliary performance, each line is placed on the third left virtual straight line LL3, the third middle virtual straight line CL3, or the third right virtual straight line RL3. The explanation has been given by taking as an example a case where the center of each navigation numeral display object or specific navigation display object IMG20 is positioned, but the approximate center (approximately the center) of each navigation numeral display object or specific navigation display object IMG20 is positioned. It suffices as long as it is displayed on the screen.

Similarly, in the second winning auxiliary performance and the second specific role winning auxiliary performance, each navigation number display object or specific navigation display object IMG20 is placed on the first left virtual straight line LL1, first middle virtual straight line CL1, or first right virtual straight line RL1. Although the description has been made by taking as an example the case where the display is performed so that the center of the navigation numeral display object or the specific navigation display object IMG20 is located, it may be displayed so that the approximate center (substantially the center) of each navigation numeral display object or specific navigation display object IMG20 is located.

Further, in the above embodiment, the case where the liquid crystal display LCD is provided above the reel unit has been explained as an example, but the liquid crystal display LCD is provided approximately in the center of the front upper door UD, and the reel unit is provided above the liquid crystal display LCD. You can do it like this.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the game machine is such that game media such as medals are inserted when playing a game, and the game media are paid out depending on winning combinations. A game may be played by consuming or giving a game value. For example, a game machine or an external unit connected to the game machine may be able to store information on the game value owned by the player, so that the game player can consume the game value by subtracting the number of game values. It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which putting in a medium is replaced with giving a game value by adding up the number of game values, and replacing it with paying out the game medium.
