Furthermore, the sub-control unit 91 detects an operation on the production switch 56, and controls the display of images on the liquid crystal display 51 and the sound output from the speakers 53 and 54 in accordance with the detected operation.

When playing a game in the slot machine 1, the player sets a prescribed number of bets by inserting medals into the medal inserting section 4 or operating the MAXBET switch 6. As a result, the winning line LN becomes valid, and the operation of the start switch 7 becomes valid, making it possible to start the game. The winning line LN is a line for determining whether the combination of symbols on the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R displayed on the transparent window 3 matches the combination of winning symbols. In this embodiment, only the winning line LN set across the middle row of the reel 2L, the middle row of the reel 2C, and the middle row of the reel 2R, that is, the symbols arranged horizontally in the middle row, is defined as the winning line. , a plurality of winning lines may be provided. Further, an invalidation line may be provided to make it easier to recognize that the combination of symbols constituting a winning prize has been aligned on the winning line LN.

When the start switch 7 is operated in a state where the game can be started, the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R rotate. At this time, the main control unit 41 performs an internal lottery. The internal lottery is
This is a process of determining symbol combinations (display result combinations) that are allowed to be derived. When a symbol combination is allowed to be derived through an internal lottery, it is also said that the winning combination corresponds to the symbol combination.

When the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated, the rotation of the reel corresponding to the operated stop switch is stopped. As a result, the symbol combination is derived and displayed on the transparent window 3. When a symbol combination that matches the symbol combination of a winning combination stops on the winning line LN, a winning corresponding to the winning combination occurs.

In the reel stop control, the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R corresponding to the operation is stopped within the maximum stop delay time (in this embodiment, 190 ms (milliseconds)) from the time when each stop switch is operated. Control is performed to stop it. Reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are rotated 80 times per minute, and the symbols are varied by 80 (rotations) x 20 (number of symbols per reel, for example, 20 symbols) = 1600 symbols, so the maximum Until the stop delay time (190ms) elapses, a maximum of four symbols can be drawn in. In other words, in the stop control, one symbol is selected from the symbol displayed when the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated, and the symbol up to 4 frames ahead, for a total of 5 frames (pull-in range). It is possible to select and derive the reels 2L, 2R, and 2R.

The winning combinations include a special winning combination (bonus), a small winning combination, and a replay winning combination. A special winning combination (bonus) is a winning combination in which the gaming state is controlled to a bonus state in which the probability of winning a small winning combination is higher than in a non-bonus state. The special bonuses include first-class special bonuses such as RB (regular bonus) and BB (big bonus), and second-class special bonuses such as CB (challenge bonus). In this embodiment, CB is provided as a special combination. A small role is a role in which a medal is awarded by winning a prize. A replay winning combination is a winning combination that allows the player to start the next game without consuming medals owned by the player.

In order to win a prize for each role determined according to the gaming state, it is necessary to win the internal lottery and set the winning flag for that role. In the internal lottery, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not to allow winnings for each of the above-mentioned winning combinations before the display results of all the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are derived (specifically, the start switch 7 (at the time of detection) using random numbers.

Of the winning flags for each role, the winning flags for small roles and replay roles are valid only in the game in which the flags were set, and will be invalid in the next game, but the winning flags for special roles are It is valid until the combination of combinations allowed by the flag is completed, and becomes invalid in a game where the combination of combinations allowed by the flag is completed. In other words, once a special winning flag is won, even if it is not possible to match the combination of winnings allowed by the flag, that winning flag will not be invalidated and will be carried over to the next game. ing.

In addition, in the internal lottery, when the stop operation is performed in a predetermined operation mode (for example, operation order, operation timing), the small winning combination becomes more advantageous than when the stop operation is performed in other operation modes. It is possible to win a winning combination or a re-playing combination (hereinafter also referred to as a "push order combination"). For example, the push order combination may include a combination in which when a stop operation is performed in a predetermined operation mode, the stop mode is more advantageous than the stop mode when the stop operation is performed in another operation mode. , including combinations in which when a stop operation is performed in a predetermined operation manner, the rate of stopping is higher in a more advantageous stop operation than when the stop operation is performed in another operation manner. Further, the advantageous stopping mode includes not only a stopping mode that involves the awarding of medals, but also a stopping mode that involves a transition to an advantageous gaming state, a stopping mode that avoids a transition to a disadvantageous gaming state, and the like.

The main control unit 41 performs an advantageous section transfer lottery to determine whether to control the advantageous section when predetermined lottery conditions are established in the normal section (hereinafter also referred to as "normal section normal"). By doing so and winning the relevant advantageous section transition lottery (hereinafter also referred to as "advantageous section winning"), control of the advantageous section is started. The advantageous section is a section in which navigation information corresponding to the operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R can be reported. On the other hand, the normal section is a section in which navigation information corresponding to the operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R cannot be reported.

The main control unit 41 is capable of executing a navigation system that notifies the player of the operation modes of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R that are advantageous to the player when the player wins the push order combination in the internal lottery. Specifically, the main control unit 41 provides a navigation system that notifies, as navigation information, the operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R that is advantageous for the player according to the internal lottery result by the lighting mode of the game auxiliary display 12. It is possible to control the assist time (AT) which is a notification period during which notification can be executed.

During the advantageous section, the main control unit 41 executes navigation notification by controlling the AT when winning the push order combination, and determines the operation modes of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R that are advantageous for the player ( For example, the order of operations, operation timing, etc.) are notified using the game auxiliary display 12, and the navigation information , a navigation effect is executed to notify the user of the operation mode using the liquid crystal display 51 or the like.

The push order combination includes a push order bell (six-choice bell) in which a bell is won when the player's operation mode matches the operation mode corresponding to the winning push order combination (hereinafter also referred to as "correct answer procedure"). , and a push-order reply in which the replay wins when the player's operation mode matches the operation mode corresponding to the winning push-order combination. Hereinafter, navigation that can be performed in a game where the push order bell is won will also be referred to as bell navigation.

By operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R according to the correct procedure according to the bell navigation, the player can win the winning combination that pays out more medals among the winning combinations included in the push order bell. Alternatively, by operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R according to the correct procedure according to the bell navigation, the player can win a winning combination that is unlikely to be missed out of the winning combinations included in the push order bell. In addition, among the roles included in the push order bell, the role that can win when the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated in the correct answer procedure is called the "main character", and the stop switch 8L, The winning combinations that can be won when 8C and 8R are operated are also referred to as "secondary winnings."

By operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R in the operation mode notified by the navigation notification and navigation performance, it is now possible to securely win the main character included in the push order winning combination in the internal lottery. It has become. Furthermore, in controlling the advantageous section, the advantageous section LED 19 can be turned on to notify that the advantageous section control is being performed.

[Game state transition]
FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining the transition of gaming states. As shown in FIG. 3, the gaming states controlled by the liquid crystal display 51 include non-internal and internal.

Inside, the game is in a state where the game can be played and the payout rate of medals based on a predetermined design value is guaranteed. Note that in the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, most of the games are played by the player inside the slot machine 1.

On the other hand, when the player is not inside the game, the player does not play a game, or even if the player plays a game, the time for playing the game is extremely short. In non-internal mode, when a CB is won and the winning of the CB is missed, the gaming state shifts to internal mode from the next game. In other words, the internal state is such that the winning of CB has been carried over. Once the gaming state is internally controlled, it is rare for the carried over CB to win, and even if it does, the probability is extremely low.

In addition, in the example shown in FIG. 3, CB is not shown as a gaming state, but if a CB is won during non-internal or internal, the game will be changed from non-internal or internal to CB. The state changes. In this case, the CB ends after approximately one game, and the gaming state shifts to non-internal mode again.

The internal state includes a normal section and an advantageous section. As described above, the advantageous section is a section in which navigation information corresponding to the operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R can be reported. On the other hand, the normal section is a section in which navigation information corresponding to the operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R cannot be reported. In the normal section, when the winning section is won in the advantageous section transfer lottery (advantageous section winning), the state is controlled to be the advantageous section.

The states in the advantageous section include normal times (hereinafter also referred to as "advantageous section normal"), CZ (hereinafter also referred to as "advantageous section CZ"), and AT (hereinafter also referred to as "advantageous section AT"). Advantageous section is usually a state in which navigation can be performed. In the advantageous section CZ, the navigation execution probability is higher than in the normal advantageous section. The advantageous section AT is a state in which the navigation execution probability is higher than the advantageous section CZ. In this embodiment, the navigation execution probability in the normal advantageous section is 0%, but the navigation may be executed with a predetermined probability.

Further, the net increase in the number of games that the player can obtain per game in the advantageous section AT is larger than the net increase in the number of games that the player can obtain per game in the advantageous section CZ. Further, the net increase in the number of games that the player can acquire per game in the advantageous section CZ is larger than the net increase in the number of games that the player can acquire per game in the advantageous zone normal or the normal zone normal. The net increase per game (hereinafter also referred to as "1G net increase") is the number of medals paid out per game minus the number of medals used to set the number of bets per game. .

The net increase in the number of medals in a predetermined state (normal section normal, advantageous section normal, advantageous section CZ, advantageous section AT) is the number of medals paid out in a predetermined condition (normal section normal, advantageous section normal, advantageous section CZ, advantageous section AT). This is the number obtained by subtracting the total number of medals used for setting the number of bets in the predetermined state (normal section normal, advantageous section normal, advantageous section CZ, advantageous section AT) from the total number.

In both the normal section normal and the advantageous section normal, medals decrease. The advantageous section AT and the advantageous section CZ are states in which the number of medals increases. The advantageous section AT and the advantageous section CZ are more advantageous to the player than the normal section normal and the advantageous section normal. Specifically, in this embodiment, the number of 1G net additions is designed to be -1 in the normal section normal and advantageous section normal, and the number of 1G net additions is designed to be 1 in the advantageous section CZ. , In the advantageous section AT, the net increase in 1G is designed to be eight.

In other words, the ball payout rate in the normal section normal and advantageous section normal is less than 1, and the ball payout rate in the advantageous section CZ and advantageous section AT is greater than 1. Further, the ball payout rate is the same in the normal section normal and the advantageous section normal. Here, the payout rate is the ratio of the total number of medals paid out to the total number of medals used to set the number of bets during a period controlled to a certain state.

The advantageous section CZ has a higher probability of being controlled to the advantageous section AT than the normal advantageous section, and is located on the way from the normal advantageous section to the control to the advantageous section AT. That is, the advantageous section CZ is a more advantageous ball payout state than the normal advantageous section. A win in which the state is controlled from the normal advantageous section to the advantageous section CZ is also referred to as a "CZ win."

The advantageous section CZ is controlled by, for example, the number of games, and the advantageous section CZ ends on the condition that the number of games played during the advantageous section CZ reaches a predetermined upper limit number of games. .

The advantageous section AT is in a state where it can be controlled from both the advantageous section normal and the advantageous section CZ. A win in which the state is controlled from the advantageous section normal or advantageous section CZ to the advantageous section AT is also referred to as an "AT win."

Control over the advantageous section AT is managed, for example, by the number of games, and the advantageous section AT ends on the condition that the number of games played during the advantageous section AT reaches a predetermined upper limit number of games. . In addition, the advantageous section AT is not limited to those managed by the number of games, but also the number of times the navigation is executed reaches a preset upper limit, and the number of winnings of the main character when winning the push order winnings is a preset upper limit. It may also be managed based on other conditions, such as reaching a predetermined maximum number of coins, and that the number of coins to be paid out or the number of net additions reaches a predetermined upper limit.

In the normal section, when winning in the advantageous section transition lottery (advantageous section winning), the advantageous section is normally controlled. In this embodiment, the number of games to be played in the normal section is designed to be approximately one (for example, the winning probability in the advantageous section transfer lottery is designed to be 90% or more). By doing this, in most cases, the advantageous section is won in the first game in which control to the normal section is started, and the control is again controlled to the advantageous section (advantageous section normal) from the next game.

Advantageous Section Normally, if AT is won, control is made to the advantageous section AT (AT). Advantageous section Normally, if CZ is won, control is made to advantageous section CZ (CZ). In the advantageous section CZ, if AT is won, control is made to the advantageous section AT. When the advantageous section AT ends, control is performed to the advantageous section CZ. If the advantageous section CZ ends without winning AT, the advantageous section is controlled normally.

Here, the main control unit 41 performs a bonus lottery regarding granting of benefits. For example, the benefits are AT, CZ, and the number of additional games (the number of AT games). In this embodiment, an AT lottery is performed as a bonus lottery in the advantageous section normal or CZ. When it is determined that AT will be awarded in the AT lottery, the number of games controlled by AT (the number of AT games) is further determined. If AT wins, the next game will be controlled by AT.

In this embodiment, the CZ is won when 250 games have passed in the normal advantageous section, and the CZ is controlled from the next game onward. In CZ, a maximum of three battle effects are executed, and the number of games controlled by CZ (the number of CZ games) is equal to the number of battle effects to be executed. Note that a CZ lottery may be performed as a bonus lottery in the normal advantageous section.

In this embodiment, during the CZ, an AT lottery is performed in each game of the CZ, and it is determined whether or not to award an AT in a game controlled by the CZ. In a game controlled by CZ, when it is decided to give AT, an AT is won in the last game of the third battle performance executed during CZ, and the next game is controlled by AT.

Further, when an additional lottery is conducted as a bonus lottery at AT, and the player wins the additional lottery (additional win), the number of additional games (number of AT games) is given in addition to the number of AT games.

When the limiter condition is satisfied in the ball-out state during the advantageous section, or when an arbitrary end condition is satisfied, the state is controlled normally from the ball-out state during the advantageous section. Specifically, in the state of balls being put out during the advantageous section, when the total number of played games (the number of G in the advantageous section) that is updated based on the progress of the game reaches a predetermined upper limit G (for example, 1500G) , the advantageous section ends, and the ball output state is controlled normally.

Note that the number of advantageous sections G is counted by an advantageous section G number counter stored in the RAM 41c. Alternatively, in the state of balls being put out during the advantageous section, the advantageous section ends when the total number of net increases during the advantageous section, which is updated based on the progress of the game, reaches a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 2400 coins). , the ball output state is controlled normally. Note that the net increase in the number of sheets during the advantageous section is counted by a net increase in sheet number counter stored in the RAM 41c.

When the state is controlled from the ball output state during the advantageous section to the normal state, the total value of the number of played games and the net increase number that was counted during the ball output state during the advantageous section, as well as the points that can be earned during play are initialized. be done.

Further, for example, the arbitrary termination conditions include that a predetermined termination condition is satisfied without winning a CZ, or that a predetermined termination condition is satisfied without winning an AT in an advantageous section CZ. . Further, the AT termination condition may be satisfied in the advantageous section AT.

In addition, in the advantageous section AT, it may be controlled to be an advantageous section specialization zone (also referred to as an "additional specialization zone") in which the rate at which the number of AT games is awarded is higher when the specialization zone is won. . The advantageous section specialized zone is in a more advantageous state than any of the advantageous section normal, advantageous section CZ, and advantageous section AT.

The sub-control unit 91 can execute production control according to, for example, the value of at least one of the date and time measured by the RTC 97, the detection signal from the production switch 56, and the like. The power supply board 101 is connected to a hopper motor 34b, various operating means, detection means (examples shown on the right side of the power supply board 101 in FIG. 4), and the like.

[Winning role]
FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining types of winning combinations, symbol combinations of winning combinations, and awards at the time of winning. The name column in FIG. 5 shows the name of the winning combination, and the symbol combination column shows the combination of symbols that will result in the winning combination. In addition, in the symbol combination column that can stop on the invalid line, symbol combinations that can be easily recognized by the player and that can stop on the invalid line when a winning symbol combination stops on the winning line are listed. It is shown. The award column shows the value that will be awarded at the time of winning (number of medals paid out, replay award, etc.).

As shown in FIG. 5, a CB is provided as a special combination. The small prizes are middle bell, upper bell 1 to 8, watermelon, and cherry. As a replay combination, a reply is usually provided.

The middle bell is a role corresponding to the main character mentioned above. Upper bells 1 to 8 are winnings corresponding to the above-mentioned secondary winnings, and the number of coins paid out is smaller than that of the middle bell. Specifically, if the middle bell is won, 11 coins will be paid out, and if the upper bells 1 to 8 are won, two coins will be paid out. If a watermelon wins, the watermelon symbols will line up on reels 2L, 2C, and 2R.

[Lottery target role]
FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining combinations of winning combinations that are read out as lottery target combinations for each gaming state. The role number column in Figure 6 shows the role number determined for each lottery target role, the lottery target role column shows its name, and the winning combination combination column shows the role numbers included in each lottery target role. The combinations of winning combinations to be drawn are shown, and in the gaming state column, for each gaming state, a circle mark indicates that the winning combination is to be drawn.

As shown in FIG. 6, CB is provided as a lottery target winning combination for the special winning combination. The small winning combinations to be drawn include 6-option bells 1 to 6, watermelon, and cherry. As a lottery target role for the re-gaming role, a reply is usually provided. Note that watermelon and cherry are also referred to as "rare combinations" because their winning probability in the internal lottery is lower than that of the 6-choice bell.

In the non-internal mode, all the winning combinations are possible, but in the internal mode, only CB cannot be won because the winning of CB has already been carried over.

[Reel control of push order]
FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining reel control at the time of winning a push order combination. As shown in FIG. 7, six selection bells 1 to 6 are provided in the pressing order. 6 during AT (during advantageous section AT)
In a game in which the selection bell is won, bell navigation is executed and the player is informed of the correct answer procedure. The player can win a winning combination that is advantageous to the player by operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R in the correct procedure according to the BellNavi.

For example, in a game where any of the 6-choice bells 1 to 6 wins, when stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated in the correct answer procedure, the main middle bell wins and 11 pieces are paid out. , when the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated in the incorrect answer procedure, either the upper bell, which is a secondary role, wins and two coins are paid out, or the prize is lost.

[Setting value]
In the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, the payout rate of medals changes depending on a set value. Specifically, the payout rate of medals is changed by determining the winning probability used in the internal lottery according to the set value. The set value is comprised of six levels from 1 to 6, with 6 being the highest payout rate, and decreasing values in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1, the lower the payout rate. That is, when 6 is set as the setting value, the advantage is the highest for the player, and as the value decreases in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1, the advantage gradually decreases.

To change the setting value, operate the power switch on the power box provided inside the slot machine 1, and if the power of the slot machine 1 is turned on, turn it off once, and then change the setting. It is necessary to turn on the power of the slot machine 1 after operating the key switch and turning on the setting key switch. When the setting key switch is turned on to turn on the power of the slot machine 1, the slot machine 1 shifts to a setting change state in which it is impossible to proceed with the game on condition that the door is open. When the setting change state is entered, the current setting value read out from the RAM 41c is displayed on the setting value display as a display value.

In the setting change state, when the reset/setting switch is operated, the display value displayed on the setting value display is updated one by one (if the setting is further operated from setting 6, it returns to setting 1). Thereafter, when the start switch 7 is operated, the displayed value is determined as the set value. When the setting key switch is turned off, the determined display value (setting value) is stored in the RAM 41c, and the game enters a state in which the game can proceed. Note that the setting change state is entered by turning the power switch once to the OFF state, turning the setting key switch to the ON state, and turning on the power switch, so these operations are also collectively referred to as setting change operations.

When the settings are changed, the information regarding the game stored in the RAM 41c is initialized. Therefore, for example, if the setting is changed during an advantageous section, information regarding the advantageous section is initialized and control is made to the normal section. In this case, as described above, the main control unit 41 will no longer be able to grasp the net increase in number when it was controlled in the previous advantageous section AT.

[Battle production]
In this embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 is capable of executing battle effects. The battle performance is a performance that notifies either an advantageous result or a disadvantageous result. The advantageous result is an advantageous result notified as a result of the battle performance, and the disadvantageous result is an unfavorable result notified as a result of the battle performance. In the present embodiment, an advantageous result is winning the battle (battle victory), and an unfavorable result is losing the battle (battle defeat). Here, an unfavorable result only needs to be a result that is reported to be more unfavorable than an advantageous result, and an advantageous result does not necessarily have to be an advantageous result for the player, and an unfavorable result does not necessarily have to be a result disadvantageous for the player. There isn't. For example, although both an advantageous result and a disadvantageous result are advantageous to the player (such as being given some kind of benefit), the advantageous result may be more advantageous than the disadvantageous result.

The sub-control unit 91 can execute the battle performance a specific number of times (three times in this embodiment). In this embodiment, a maximum of three battle performances (battles 1 to 3) are executed under the control of CZ. Battles 1 to 3 are executed in order, and when all battles are won, it is controlled by AT.

In the battle performance, a performance image showing a battle between an ally character and an enemy character over a plurality of games is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. A series of battles is then held, and whether the ally character wins or loses against the enemy character is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

When the friendly character ultimately wins or loses over the enemy character in the battle performance, the performance result (victory or defeat) of the battle performance is notified. If the ally character defeats the enemy character, a character image of "NEXT" or "WIN" is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

If Battle 1 is won, "NEXT" is displayed, indicating that Battle 1 has been won and that Battle 2 will be executed next. If Battle 2 is won, "NEXT" is displayed, indicating that Battle 2 has been won and that Battle 3 will be executed next.

If Battle 3 is won, "WIN" is displayed, which suggests that Battle 3 has been won and that it is controlled by AT. On the other hand, if the ally character is defeated by the enemy character, an end screen is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. On the end screen, a display is performed in which the screen turns dark with the friendly character defeated by the enemy character being displayed.

FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining a battle performance that is controlled and executed by CZ from the normal advantageous section. As explained above, CZ control is possible in the normal advantageous section, and AT control is possible in CZ.

In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 performs point update processing in the normal advantageous section. The point update process is a process of updating points using added points. Whether additional points will be awarded or not is determined by a point acquisition lottery.

For example, in the normal advantageous section, a point acquisition lottery is performed when a predetermined winning combination is won in an internal lottery performed in each game. The predetermined winning combination may be, for example, a six-choice bell, a normal reply, or a rare winning combination (cherry or watermelon).

Further, when a rare combination is won, a lottery may be conducted such that higher additional points are awarded than when a 6-option bell or a normal reply is won. Note that the point lottery is not limited to the point lottery performed when a predetermined role is won, but the point lottery may be performed every game.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, the CZ is won when 250 games (also referred to as "G") have passed since the advantageous section was normally controlled. Then, from the next game onwards, the advantageous section normal ends and is controlled by CZ.

A battle performance is performed in CZ. When controlled by CZ, first, battle performance 1 (also referred to as "battle 1") is executed as a battle performance. If the battle of battle 1 is won, then battle performance 2 (also referred to as "battle 2") is executed. If you lose the battle in Battle 1, control to CZ ends and control is again returned to the normal advantageous zone.

If the battle of Battle 2 is won, then Battle Effect 3 (also referred to as "Battle 3") is executed. If you lose the battle of Battle 2, the control to CZ ends and the advantageous section is controlled normally again. If you win Battle 3, control over CZ ends and you are controlled by AT. That is, if all the battles are won, it will be controlled by AT, but if any battle is lost, the advantageous section will be controlled normally.

In the example of FIG. 8, it is assumed that control is first performed from a normal section to an advantageous section, and that the advantageous section is controlled to be normal. This state is also referred to as "period 1." As mentioned above, in the normal advantageous section, a point lottery is conducted, and the points are increased according to the additional points acquired.

Then, when 250G has passed since the advantageous section was controlled normally, the control is changed to CZ from the next game. When a start operation for starting a game controlled by CZ is performed, a battle effect lottery is performed.

As for the battle production lottery, first of all, whether or not to give AT (AT can be won or not), whether or not to win the battle in each battle (battles 1 to 3), and the degree of victory expectation in each battle (simply "expectation level") ) is determined. These decisions are made based on the points earned in the advantageous section before being controlled by CZ.

A lottery is conducted such that the higher the number of points earned, the higher the rate at which AT will be awarded. In addition, a lottery is conducted such that the higher the points earned, the higher the probability of winning a battle in each battle. Further, a lottery is conducted such that the higher the points earned, the higher the expectation of victory in each battle.

Here, the victory expectation level (expectation level) indicates the expectation level of being notified of a battle victory (battle victory) in a battle performance. In this embodiment, the expectation level is determined in the range of 0% to 100%. In addition, the higher the points earned, the higher the probability of winning the battle, and the higher the expectation level in the battle.The lottery is held in such a way that the higher the points earned, the higher the probability of winning the battle, and the higher the expectation level in the battle. This figure can be said to indicate the percentage of

The determined expectation level is suggested at the start of the battle production ("expectation level suggestion", which will be described later), as will be described later with reference to FIG. At this time, the level of expectation determined using numerical values may be suggested, or the level of expectation determined based on the number of stars may be suggested.

Furthermore, if it is decided to grant AT, it is decided that all battles (battles 1 to 3) will be won. On the other hand, if it is not decided to give AT, it is decided that one of the battles will be defeated.

Then, once it is determined whether or not to give AT, whether or not to win in each battle, and the degree of victory expectation in each battle, a first lottery is performed based on these determinations. In this embodiment, the battle effect executed based on the result of the first lottery is referred to as a "first effect." Details of the first lottery and the first performance will be described later using FIG. 10 and the like.

In the example of FIG. 8, it is assumed that a decision to grant AT is not made, but a decision is made to win the battles in battles 1 and 2, and to lose the battle in battle 3. Also, during the battle performance, a second lottery and a third lottery are held.

In this embodiment, the battle performance performed based on the result of the second lottery is referred to as a "second performance", and the battle performance performed based on the result of the third lottery is referred to as a "third performance". Details of the second lottery, second performance, third lottery, and third performance will be described later using FIG. 10 and the like.

Returning to FIG. 8, when the battle of Battle 3 is defeated, the control to CZ ends and control is again performed to the advantageous section normal (cycle 2). Furthermore, after 250G has elapsed, control is given to CZ from the next game. Assume that in the battle performance lottery during CZ control, a decision to grant AT is not made, and a decision is made to win the battle in battle 1 and lose the battle in battle 2.

When the battle of Battle 2 is defeated, the control to CZ ends and control is again performed to the advantageous section normal (cycle 3). Furthermore, after 250G has elapsed, control is given to CZ from the next game. Assume that in the battle performance lottery during CZ control, a decision is made to grant AT, and a decision is made to win the battles in battles 1 to 3. In this case, all battles 1 to 3 are won, and when battle 3 ends, control over CZ ends, and from the next game onwards, control over AT is completed.

[An example of battle production]
FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining an example of a battle effect. FIGS. 9(a1) to (a3) are display examples when a battle effect (first effect) is executed. 9(a4) and (a5) are display examples when the dialogue production is executed during the battle production, FIG. 9(a6) is a display example when the second production is executed during the battle production, and FIG. a7) is a display example when the third effect is executed during the battle effect.

As shown in FIG. 9(a1), when Battle 1 is executed as a battle performance, the LCD display 51 shows that an ally character (the character on the left side of the screen) and an enemy character (the character on the right side of the screen) are facing each other in the Colosseum. The image will be displayed.

In addition, in the starting game of Battle 1, the title presentation and expectation level suggestion of Battle 1 are performed. The title performance is a performance that displays a title that allows the title of the battle performance to be identified. The expectation level suggestion indicates, before the battle performance is executed, the expectation level that a battle victory will be announced as a result of the battle performance.

Specifically, a character image "Battle 1" that can specify the execution of Battle 1 is displayed as the title display. Furthermore, in this example, the expectation level for Battle 1 is determined to be 70%. As the expectation level display, a character image "Expectation level 70%" is displayed that can specify that the expectation level is 70%.

Although not shown, as the battle progresses, an image of an enemy character or an ally character attacking an opponent is displayed. When an attack is performed, an image of the attacked character defending the attack or evading the attack is displayed.

The enemy character or ally character attacks multiple times, and when an image of the enemy character falling down and not moving due to the attack of the ally character (image of the enemy character down) is finally displayed, the battle is won. At this time, in battles 1 and 2, the character image "NEXT" is displayed, and in battle 3, the character image "WIN" is displayed.

On the other hand, if an image of the ally character falling down and not moving due to the enemy character's attack is finally displayed (an image of the ally character being down), the battle will be defeated. At this time, an end screen is displayed in which the screen goes dark with an image of the ally character down. The details of the battle flow will be described later using FIGS. 17 to 19.

When the battle 1 is won, a battle 2 is executed as a battle effect, as shown in FIG. 9(a2). The liquid crystal display 51 displays an image of a friendly character (the character on the left side of the screen) and an enemy character (the character on the right side of the screen) facing each other at the Colosseum. In Battle 2, the ally character battles with an enemy character different from Battle 1.

In addition, in the starting game of Battle 2, a character image "Battle 2" is displayed as a title display that allows the execution of Battle 2 to be specified. Furthermore, in this example, the expectation level for Battle 2 is determined to be 50%. As the expectation level display, a character image "Expectation level 50%" is displayed that can specify that the expectation level is 50%.

When the battle 2 is won, a battle 3 is executed as a battle effect, as shown in FIG. 9(a3). The liquid crystal display 51 displays an image in which an ally character (the character on the left side of the screen) and an enemy character (the character on the right side of the screen) confront each other in a grassy field. In Battle 3, the ally character battles with an enemy character different from Battles 1 and 2.

In addition, in the starting game of Battle 3, a character image "Battle 3" is displayed as a title display that allows the execution of Battle 3 to be specified. Furthermore, in this example, the expectation level for Battle 3 is determined to be 30%. As the expectation level display, a character image "Expectation level 30%" is displayed that can specify that the expectation level is 30%.

Also, during the battle performance, conversation performance can be performed. The conversation performance is a performance in which a friendly character or an enemy character has a conversation through utterances. It is not limited to a conversation, but may be a soliloquy muttered by an ally character or an enemy character. Alternatively, it may be a narration that explains the situation of the battle performance.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the character's lines include weak lines and strong lines that are more expected to win the battle than the weak lines. FIG. 9(a4) is a display example of weak serifs, and FIG. 9(a5) is a display example of strong serifs. FIGS. 9(a4) and 9(a5) show states in which the enemy character is speaking to the ally character. At this time, as the enemy character's lines, either the weak line "Come" or the strong line "No matter who the opponent is..." is displayed.

When a weak dialogue is displayed, the dialogue "Come on" is displayed as a subtitle display at the bottom of the screen, as shown in FIG. 9(a4). Furthermore, the speakers 53 and 54 may be used to output dialogue sounds. In this case, the speakers 53 and 54 output the voice "Come!".

When a strong line is displayed, as shown in FIG. 9(a5), the line ``Whoever the other party is...'' is displayed as a subtitle display at the bottom of the screen. Furthermore, the size, font, and color of the characters may be made different for weak serifs and strong serifs, which have different expectations. For example, characters may be made larger for strong serifs than for weak serifs. Alternatively, the weak serifs may be made black, and the strong serifs may be made red, which stands out more than black.

Next, a display example of the second effect will be explained. As explained above, the first performance is a battle performance executed based on the result of the first lottery. What is shown in FIGS. 9(a1) to (a3) are production examples of the first production. In this embodiment, the first effect is executed using the liquid crystal display 51.

As will be described later, the second performance is a performance that can be executed when the rare combination that triggers the AT lottery is won. Further, the second performance is a performance that is executed by interrupting the first performance while the first performance is being executed. As shown in FIG. 9(a6), when an image in which an ally character and an enemy character are facing each other in a battle effect as shown in FIG. 9(a3) is displayed, the image is superimposed on the image. A performance image of the second performance is displayed on the entire surface side of the image.

For example, while a partial image of a battle production in which an ally character and an enemy character are facing each other is displayed, an image containing the text image "chance" is displayed as a production image of a second production on the front side. . The second performance may end after a predetermined period of time or after a predetermined operation is performed. As a result, the effect image of the original battle effect is displayed.

Furthermore, the second performance may be a performance performed using a performance means different from the liquid crystal display 51. For example, as shown in FIG. 9(a6), the second effect may be performed by lighting the side lamp 27 in a predetermined color (for example, red) as the effect means.

Note that the second effect may be performed using both the liquid crystal display 51 and the side lamp 27, as shown in FIG. 9(a6), or may be performed using either one of them. good.

Next, a display example of the third effect will be explained. As will be described later, the third performance is a performance that suggests that the expectation level of being notified of a battle victory is high. Further, the third performance is a performance that is executed by interrupting the first performance while the first performance is being executed. For example, as shown in Figure 9 (a7), when an image of an ally character and an enemy character facing each other is displayed in a battle effect as shown in Figure 9 (a3), the color of the sky is An effect that changes the color from blue to green is executed.

Furthermore, the third performance may be a performance performed using a performance means different from the liquid crystal display 51. For example, as shown in FIG. 9(a7), the third effect may be performed by lighting the side lamp 27 in a specific color (for example, green) as the effect means.

Note that the third effect may be performed using both the liquid crystal display 51 and the side lamp 27, as shown in FIG. 9(a7), or may be performed using either one of them. good.

[Production lottery table]
Next, the effect lottery table used in the first lottery, second lottery, and third lottery will be explained. FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining the performance lottery table. FIG. 10(a) is an effect lottery table for selecting the effect mode of Battle 1, FIG. 10(b) is an effect lottery table for selecting the effect mode of Battle 2, and FIG. 10(c) is an effect lottery table for selecting the effect mode of Battle 2. This is a performance lottery table for selecting the performance mode of Battle 3.

As mentioned above, the first performance is a performance executed based on the result of the first lottery among the battle performances, and the performance mode of the first performance (any of the performance modes A1 to An described later) is determined by the first lottery. is selected. In addition, the second performance is a performance performed based on the result of the second lottery among the battle performances, and the performance mode of the second performance (any of the performance modes B1 to Bm described later) is selected by the second lottery. Ru. Further, the third performance is a performance performed based on the result of the third lottery among the battle performances, and the performance mode of the third performance (any of the performance modes C1 to Ck described later) is selected by the third lottery. Ru.

These drawings are held for each battle production. For example, in battle 1, using the battle 1 production lottery table, select the production mode of the first production in battle 1, the production format of the second production in battle 1, and the production format of the third production in battle 1. do.

Further, as described above, when a start operation for starting a game controlled by CZ is performed, a battle effect lottery is performed. At this time, as a battle production lottery, based on the points earned in the normal advantageous section, whether or not to give AT (AT winning or not), and whether or not to win the battle in each battle (Battle 1 to 3) (Battle (win/loss) and the expected degree of victory (expected degree) in each battle are determined.

The presentation modes of the first to third presentations (the presentation mode of the battle presentation) are selected at different rates depending on the determined victory expectation level (expectation level), AT winning probability, and the outcome of the battle. This will be explained in detail below.

The first lottery is held using the first lottery table (also referred to as "lottery table A"), the second lottery is conducted using the second lottery table (also referred to as "lottery table B"), and the third lottery is held using the second lottery table (also referred to as "lottery table B"). The lottery is conducted using a third performance lottery table (also referred to as "lottery table C"). In battle 1, lottery tables A1, B1, and C1 are used; in battle 2, lottery tables A2, B2, and C2; and in battle 3, lottery tables A3, B3, and C3 are used.

Further, a lottery is performed using different effect lottery tables depending on the determined victory expectation level (expectation level). Specifically, in the first lottery, different performances are created when the determined expectation level is "low expectation level", when it is "medium expectation level", and when it is "high expectation level". A lottery table is used.

In addition, in the second lottery and the third lottery, when the determined expectation level is "low expectation level 2", when it is "low expectation level 1", and when it is "medium expectation level", A different performance lottery table is used depending on when the level of expectation is "high".

Here, "low expectations" refers to the case where the determined expectation level is in the range of "0 to 33%", and "medium expectation level" refers to the case where the determined expectation level is in the range of "34 to 66%". "High expectation level" refers to a case where the determined expectation level is "67 to 100%", and "low expectation level 2" refers to a case where the determined expectation level is in the range of "0 to 17%". "Low expectation level 1" refers to a case where the determined expectation level is in the range of "18 to 33%." Note that in this embodiment, the expectation level is determined in 1% increments within the range of 0 to 100%.

When selecting the presentation mode for battle 1, as shown in FIG. 10(a), in the first lottery, when the expectation level is low, the lottery table A13 is selected, and when the expectation level is medium, the lottery table A12 is selected. When the number is high, the lottery table A11 is used. In the second lottery, when the expectation level is low 2, the lottery table B14, when the expectation level is low 1, the lottery table B13, when the expectation level is medium, the lottery table B12, and when the expectation level is high, the lottery table B14 B11 is used respectively. In the third lottery, when the expectation level is low 2, the lottery table C14, when the expectation level is low 1, the lottery table C13, when the expectation level is medium, the lottery table C12, and when the expectation level is high, the lottery table C14 C11 is used respectively.

Here, the second lottery and the third lottery are held while the battle production is being executed, but the "determined expectation level" used in the lottery is based on the expectation level determined in the battle production lottery during CZ control. It will be done. Further, the AT winning probability and the outcome of each battle used in FIGS. 14 and 15 are determined in the battle performance lottery during CZ control.

When selecting the production mode for Battle 2, as shown in FIG. 10(b), in the first lottery, when the expectation level is low, the lottery table A23 is used, and when the expectation level is medium, the lottery table A22 is selected.
, when the expectation level is high, the lottery table A21 is used. In the second lottery, when the expectation level is low 2, the lottery table B24, when the expectation level is low 1, the lottery table B23, when the expectation level is medium, the lottery table B22, and when the expectation level is high, the lottery table B24 B21 is used respectively. In the third lottery, when the expectation level is low 2, the lottery table C24, when the expectation level is low 1, the lottery table C23, when the expectation level is medium, the lottery table C22, and when the expectation level is high, the lottery table C24 C21 is used respectively.

When selecting the production mode for Battle 3, as shown in FIG. 10(c), in the first lottery, when the expectation level is low, the lottery table A33 is selected, and when the expectation level is medium, the lottery table A32 is selected. When it is high, the lottery table A31 is used. In the second lottery, when the expectation level is low 2, the lottery table B34, when the expectation level is low 1, the lottery table B33, when the expectation level is medium, the lottery table B32, and when the expectation level is high, the lottery table B34 B31 is used respectively. In the third lottery, when the expectation level is low 2, the lottery table C34, when the expectation level is low 1, the lottery table C33, when the expectation level is medium, the lottery table C32, and when the expectation level is high, the lottery table C34 C31 is used respectively.

The battle performance is a performance including a first performance, a second performance, and a third performance. The first performance is a performance performed by performance mode A (any of performance modes A1 to An) of the battle effects. This determines the main presentation mode of the battle presentation that will be performed over 6G.

Performance mode A is determined before the battle performance is executed (when controlled by CZ). In addition, when controlled by CZ, the level of expectation suggested by the level of expectation suggestion in each battle performance is determined, the determination of whether or not to win each battle, and the determination of whether or not AT is granted are performed. be exposed.

The player first predicts whether or not he will win the battle based on the expectation level suggested by the expectation level suggestion performed before the battle performance (the expectation level determined during CZ control). While the battle performance is being executed, the performance mode of the first performance indicates the degree of expectation as to whether or not the battle will be won. For example, when an ally character's strong line appears in a conversation performance performed during a battle performance (when a character utters a line that can be expected to win the battle), or when an ally character continues to attack violently (a series of strong attacks players expect to win the battle.

On the other hand, the second performance is a performance that can be executed when an opportunity to rewrite the result of the battle performance is established during the battle performance. For example, the opportunity to rewrite the results of the battle performance is when a rare role is won. Further, the second performance is a performance performed by performance mode B (any of performance modes B1 to Bm) of the battle performance.

In this embodiment, when a rare role (cherry, watermelon) or replay is won during battle performance (during CZ), an AT lottery is performed. In the AT lottery, it is determined whether or not to award AT. Furthermore, when a rare combination is won, it is determined with a high probability that AT will be awarded. Furthermore, when a cherry is won, the percentage of AT granting is determined to be higher than when a watermelon is winning, and when a watermelon is winning, a percentage of AT granting is determined to be higher than when a replay is winning.

Therefore, when the second performance as shown in FIG. 9(a6) is executed due to winning of the rare combination, the player expects to win the battle and be controlled by AT. There is no relationship between the decision to award AT made during CZ control and the decision to award AT based on the AT lottery during CZ. In other words, even if expectations are suggested or suggestions with low expectations are made in the first performance, when the second performance is executed, it can be expected to be controlled by AT regardless of such conditions. .

In the present embodiment, the second lottery is performed such that the lower the expectation level determined during CZ control, the more flashy the second performance will be performed in such a way as to increase the player's sense of expectation. . Specifically, the second lottery is conducted in such a way that the rate of selection of performance modes that catch the attention of players increases in the order of low expectation level 2, low expectation level 1, medium expectation level, and high expectation level. be exposed.

For example, in production mode B2, the side lamp 27 lights up in red, while in production mode B1, the side lamp 27 flashes in red, and the expectation level is set to be low 2, low expectation 1, medium expectation, and high expectation. In order of degree, presentation mode B1 may be more likely to be selected than presentation mode B2.

Here, in the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 controls the first performance when the first expectation level (for example, 10%) is suggested and when the second expectation level (for example, 25%) is suggested. On the other hand, when the third expectation level (for example, 40%) is suggested, the first expectation level and the second The performance mode of the first performance can be determined based on decision data (lottery table A12) that is different from when any of the expectations was suggested.
Here, the second expectation level is higher than the first expectation level that a battle victory will be announced as a result of the battle performance, and the third expectation level is higher than the first expectation level that a battle victory will be announced as a result of the battle performance. There is high expectation that the battle victory will be announced. It should be noted that the configuration may be such that the expectation level at which battle victory is reported increases in the order of the first expectation level, the second expectation level, and the third expectation level.

On the other hand, regarding the second performance, different decision data (lottery table B14, Based on B13 and B12), the performance mode of the second performance can be determined.

In this embodiment, in the first performance, one table is used for each of high expectations, medium expectations, and low expectations, whereas in the second performance, one table is used for each of high expectations and medium expectations. One table is used, and for low expectations, two tables are used for subdivision. That is, when the determined expectation level for the second performance is lower than that for the first performance, the number of tables used is increased. The reason is as follows.

If a high expectation level suggestion (for example, high expectation level (67 to 100%)) or a highly anticipated first effect is executed, the player may think, ``I will win the battle'' or ``AT The game progresses while guessing that the game will be controlled by the player.

On the other hand, if the expectations are suggested with low expectations (for example, low expectations (0-33%)) or the first effect with low expectations is being executed, the player may think, "I will lose the battle." The game progresses while guessing that the player will not be controlled by the AT. If the expectation level is medium (34-66%), the player will play the game with the feeling that he or she does not know whether or not he will win the battle or whether he will be controlled by the AT.

For example, if expectations are suggested with low expectations, the player is playing the game thinking that they will lose the battle anyway (not being controlled by AT), so there is a possibility that they will be controlled by AT in the second lottery. When the nature of the game is suggested, the player's sense of expectation immediately increases.

On the other hand, if expectations are suggested with high expectations, the player is playing the game thinking that they will win the battle anyway (controlled by AT), so the second lottery will determine whether AT will win the battle or not. Even if the possibility of control is suggested, it is unlikely to lead to an increase in expectations.

In other words, as mentioned above, when a low level of expectation is determined, the table is divided into smaller parts, and a second effect is executed that increases the player's sense of expectation the lower the level of expectation. , it is possible to further improve the interest of the game. Specifically, it is more desirable to subdivide the table when expectations are low (0-33%) than when expectations are medium (34-66%); -33%), low expectation level 2 (0 to 17%) is more effective in improving players' expectations than low expectation level 1 (18 to 33%), which is close to medium expectation level. demonstrate.

On the other hand, even if a high level of expectation is determined, even if the table is subdivided, it will have little effect on improving the expectations of players, and on the contrary, unnecessarily subdividing the table will complicate the process. As the data size increases, the amount of data required for processing also increases. Under these circumstances, the present embodiment is configured as described above.

With the above configuration, the expectation level is suggested by the second performance, which is executed when an opportunity to rewrite the result of the battle performance is established, by the expectation level suggestion before the battle performance is executed. Since the game can be played appropriately depending on the level of expectation, the interest of the game can be improved. In this way, it is possible to improve the interest of the game regarding the battle performance that can be executed multiple times.

Further, the third performance is a performance that suggests that, while the battle performance is being executed, the expectation that a battle victory will be announced as a result of the battle performance is high. For example, as described using FIG. 9(a7), changing the background color (the color of the sky) to green may indicate that the expectation level of being notified of a battle victory increases. Further, the third performance is a performance executed by performance mode C (any of performance modes C1 to Ck) of the battle effects.

The third performance may be performed when a role (rare role, replay) that triggers an AT lottery that can be executed during the battle performance is won. Further, similarly to the second performance, the third lottery is held such that the lower the determined expectation level is, the third performance is executed in a flashy performance mode that increases the player's sense of expectation. Specifically, the third lottery is held so that the proportion of performance modes that catch the attention of players is selected in the order of low expectation level 2, low expectation level 1, medium expectation level, and high expectation level. .

The sub-control unit 91 also generates different decision data for the third performance when the first expectation level is suggested, when the second expectation level is suggested, and when the third expectation level is suggested. Based on (lottery tables C14, C13, C12), it is possible to determine the performance mode of the third notification performance.

In this embodiment, in the first performance, one table is used for each of high expectations, medium expectations, and low expectations, whereas in the third performance, one table is used for each of high expectations, medium expectations, and low expectations. One table is used, and when the expectation level is low, two tables are used for subdivision. That is, when the determined expectation level is lower in the third performance than in the first performance, the number of tables used is increased. This is for the same reason as the second effect mentioned above, and is to effectively improve the player's expectations without complicating the processing or increasing the data capacity due to the complication of the table.

In addition, in the present embodiment, when the expectation level is suggested at a predetermined expectation level before the battle production is executed, the expectation level is lower than when the expectation level is suggested at a higher expectation level than the predetermined expectation level. Also, the rate at which the second performance is executed in the battle performance is increased.

For example, when a rare combination is won during a battle performance, the lower the determined expectation level, the higher the rate at which the second performance is executed. Note that the present invention is not limited to this, and the second performance may always be executed when a rare role is won.

Next, the contents of each performance lottery table will be explained. Hereinafter, the first lottery effect table will be explained using FIGS. 11 to 13, the second lottery effect table will be explained using FIG. 14, and the second lottery effect table will be explained using FIG. 15.

FIG. 11 is a diagram for explaining the first performance lottery table (battle 1). FIG. 11A shows a lottery table A11 used in the first lottery when the determined expectation level is high (67 to 100%). FIG. 11(b) shows a lottery table A12 used in the first lottery when the determined expectation level is medium (34 to 66%). FIG. 11(c) is a lottery table A13 used in the first lottery when the determined expectation level is high (67 to 100%).

As shown in each of the above tables, in the first lottery, one of the presentation modes A1 to An is selected. The selection rate of which production mode is selected differs depending on whether the expectation level is high, when the expectation level is medium, or when the expectation level is low. The numerical values of the performance lottery table are determined so that the selection ratio differs depending on when the player wins, and furthermore, the selection ratio differs between when the player wins and when the player loses.

For example, in the battle production lottery for battle 1, if the expectation level is determined to be high, AT winning is determined, and the battle victory is determined, production mode A1 is selected with a probability of Xa111%, and Xa112%. Performance mode A2 is selected with probability Xa113%, performance mode A3 is selected with probability Xa11n%, and production mode An is selected with probability Xa11n%. Here, Xa111+Xa112+Xa113+...+Xa11n=100%. The same applies to other cases.

In addition, in the battle performance lottery of battle 1, if the expectation level is determined to be within the expectation level, AT winning is determined, and the battle victory is determined, the performance mode A1 is selected with a probability of Xa211%. If the expectation level is determined to be high as described above, production mode A1 will be selected with a probability of Xa111%, whereas if it is determined to be within the expectation level, production mode A1 will be selected with a probability of Xa211%, The proportion of performance mode A1 being selected differs depending on whether the expectation level is high or the expectation level is medium. The same applies when the expectation level is determined to be low.

FIG. 12 is a diagram for explaining the first performance lottery table (battle 2). FIG. 12A shows a lottery table A21 used in the first lottery when the determined expectation level is high (67 to 100%). FIG. 12(b) shows a lottery table A22 used in the first lottery when the determined expectation level is medium (34 to 66%). FIG. 12(c) is a lottery table A23 used in the first lottery when the determined expectation level is high (67 to 100%).

As in the case of FIG. 11 (first lottery), in the second lottery, one of the n types of performance modes A1 to An is selected. The selection rate of which production mode is selected differs depending on whether the expectation level is high, when the expectation level is medium, or when the expectation level is low. The numerical values of the performance lottery table are determined so that the selection ratio differs depending on when the player wins, and furthermore, the selection ratio differs between when the player wins and when the player loses.

For example, in the first lottery of Battle 2, when AT winning is determined and the battle victory is determined, the probability of selecting performance mode A1 when the expectation level is determined to be high is Xa121%. On the other hand, when the expectation level is determined to be within the expectation level, the selection probability of presentation mode A1 is Xa221%, which is different. The same applies when the expectation level is determined to be low.

FIG. 13 is a diagram for explaining the first effect lottery table (battle 3). FIG. 13A shows a lottery table A31 used in the first lottery when the determined expectation level is high (67 to 100%). FIG. 13(b) shows a lottery table A32 used in the first lottery when the determined expectation level is medium (34 to 66%). FIG. 13(c) is a lottery table A33 used in the first lottery when the determined expectation level is high (67 to 100%).

As in the case of FIG. 11 (first lottery), in the third lottery, one of the performance modes A1 to An is selected. The selection rate of which production mode is selected differs depending on whether the expectation level is high, when the expectation level is medium, or when the expectation level is low. The numerical values of the performance lottery table are determined so that the selection ratio differs depending on when the player wins, and furthermore, the selection ratio differs between when the player wins and when the player loses.

For example, in the first lottery of Battle 3, when AT winning is determined and the battle victory is determined, the selection probability of production mode A1 when the expectation level is determined to be high is Xa131%. On the other hand, when the expectation level is determined to be within the expectation level, the selection probability of presentation mode A1 is Xa231%, which is different. The same applies when the expectation level is determined to be low.

In addition, when AT winning is determined, the victory of the battle is determined, and the expectation level is determined to be high, the selection probability of production mode A1 is Xa131% in Battle 3, whereas in Battle 2 In Battle 1, Xa is 121%, and in Battle 1, Xa is 111%, which are different.

FIG. 14 is a diagram for explaining the second performance lottery table (battle 1). FIG. 14(a) shows a lottery table B11 used in the second lottery when the determined expectation level is high (67 to 100%). FIG. 14(b) is a lottery table B12 used in the second lottery when the determined expectation level is medium (34 to 66%). FIG. 14(c) is a lottery table B13 used in the second lottery when the determined expectation level is low expectation level 1 (18 to 33%). FIG. 14(d) is a lottery table B14 used in the second lottery when the determined expectation level is low expectation level 2 (0 to 17%).

As shown in each of the above tables, in the second lottery, one of the m types of performance modes B1 to Bm is selected. The selection ratio of which production mode is selected differs depending on whether the expectation level is high, when the expectation level is medium, when the expectation level is low 1, or when the expectation level is low 2. Among these, the numerical values of the effect lottery table are determined so that the selection ratio is different when AT is won and when AT is not won, and furthermore, even within that, the selection ratio is different when it is a win and when it is a defeat.

For example, in the battle production drawing for battle 1, if the expectation level is determined to be high, AT winning is determined, and the battle victory is determined, production mode B1 is selected with a probability of Ya111%, and Ya112%. Performance mode B2 is selected with a probability of , production mode B3 is selected with a probability of Ya113%, and production mode Bm is selected with a probability of Ya11m%. Here, Ya111+Ya112+Ya113+...+Ya11m=100%. The same applies to other cases.

In addition, in the battle performance lottery of battle 1, if the expectation level is determined to be within the expectation level, AT winning is determined, and the battle victory is determined, the performance mode B1 is selected with a probability of Ya211%. If the expectation level is determined to be high as described above, production mode B1 will be selected with a probability of Ya111%, whereas if it is determined to be within the expectation level, production mode B1 will be selected with a probability of Ya211%, The proportion of performance mode B1 being selected differs between high and medium expectations.

Although not shown, the same applies to lottery tables B21 to B24 used in the second lottery. As in the case of FIG. 14 (battle 1), in battle 2 as well, one of the m types of performance modes B1 to Bm is selected. The selection ratio of which production mode is selected differs depending on whether the expectation level is high, when the expectation level is medium, when the expectation level is low 1, or when the expectation level is low 2. Among these, the numerical values of the effect lottery table are determined so that the selection ratio is different when AT is won and when AT is not won, and furthermore, even within that, the selection ratio is different when it is a win and when it is a defeat.

Although not shown, the same applies to lottery tables B31 to B34 used in the second lottery. As in the case of FIG. 14 (battle 1), in battle 3 as well, one of the m types of performance modes B1 to Bm is selected. The selection ratio of which production mode is selected differs depending on whether the expectation level is high, when the expectation level is medium, when the expectation level is low 1, or when the expectation level is low 2. Among these, the numerical values of the effect lottery table are determined so that the selection ratio is different when AT is won and when AT is not won, and furthermore, even within that, the selection ratio is different when it is a win and when it is a defeat.

Further, for example, when AT winning is determined, battle victory is determined, and expectation level is determined to be high, the probability of selecting performance mode B1 is different for battle 1, battle 2, and battle 3.

FIG. 15 is a diagram for explaining the third performance lottery table (battle 1). FIG. 15A shows a lottery table C11 used in the third lottery when the determined expectation level is high (67 to 100%). FIG. 15(b) is a lottery table C12 used in the third lottery when the determined expectation level is medium (34 to 66%). FIG. 15(c) is a lottery table C13 used in the third lottery when the determined expectation level is low expectation level 1 (18 to 33%). FIG. 15(d) is a lottery table C14 used in the third lottery when the determined expectation level is low expectation level 2 (0 to 17%).

As shown in each of the above tables, in the third lottery, one of k types of performance modes C1 to Ck is selected. The selection ratio of which production mode is selected differs depending on whether the expectation level is high, when the expectation level is medium, when the expectation level is low 1, or when the expectation level is low 2. Among these, the numerical values of the effect lottery table are determined so that the selection ratio is different when AT is won and when AT is not won, and furthermore, even within that, the selection ratio is different when it is a win and when it is a defeat.

For example, in the battle production lottery for battle 1, if the expectation level is determined to be high, AT winning is determined, and the battle victory is determined, production mode C1 is selected with a probability of Za111%, and Za112%. Performance mode C2 is selected with a probability of , performance mode C3 is selected with a probability of Za113%, and production mode Zk is selected with a probability of Za11k%. Here, Za111+Za112+Za113+...+Za11k=100%. The same applies to other cases.

In addition, in the battle performance lottery of battle 1, if the expectation level is determined to be within the expectation level, AT winning is determined, and the battle victory is determined, the performance mode C1 is selected with a probability of Za211%. If the expectation level is determined to be high as described above, production mode C1 will be selected with a probability of Za111%, whereas if it is determined to be within the expectation level, production mode C1 will be selected with a probability of Za211%, The rate at which presentation mode C1 is selected differs depending on whether the expectation level is high or the expectation level is medium.

Although not shown, the same applies to the lottery tables C21 to C24 used in the third lottery. As in the case of FIG. 15 (battle 1), in battle 2 as well, one of the k types of performance modes C1 to Ck is selected. The selection ratio of which production mode is selected differs depending on whether the expectation level is high, when the expectation level is medium, when the expectation level is low 1, or when the expectation level is low 2. Among these, the numerical values of the effect lottery table are determined so that the selection ratio is different when AT is won and when AT is not won, and furthermore, even within that, the selection ratio is different when it is a win and when it is a defeat.

Although not shown, the same applies to the lottery tables C31 to C34 used in the second lottery. As in the case of FIG. 15 (battle 1), in battle 3 as well, one of the k types of performance modes C1 to Ck is selected. The selection ratio of which production mode is selected differs depending on whether the expectation level is high, when the expectation level is medium, when the expectation level is low 1, or when the expectation level is low 2. Among these, the numerical values of the performance lottery table are determined so that the selection ratio is different when AT is won and when AT is not won, and furthermore, even within that, the selection ratio is different when it is a win and a loss.

Further, for example, when AT winning is determined, battle victory is determined, and expectation level is determined to be high, the probability of selecting performance mode C1 is different for battle 1, battle 2, and battle 3.

[Direction mode of the first performance]
Next, the production modes (production modes A1 to An) of the first production will be specifically explained. The battle performance is a performance that is performed over six games. The presentation mode of the first presentation determines what kind of presentation will be performed in each game of the battle presentation.

FIG. 16 is a diagram for explaining the production mode of the first production. The details will be explained using FIGS. 17 to 19, but as shown in the table of FIG. 16, in the 1st G of the battle performance, a performance including a title performance is executed. In the 2nd G of the battle performance, a performance including a conversation performance is performed.

In the 3rd and 4th G of the battle performance, a performance in which an ally character and an enemy character engage in battle is performed. In the 5th G (judge game) of the battle performance, a performance is performed in which a final battle between an ally character and an enemy character takes place. In the 6th G of the battle performance, a result notification performance is executed in which victory or defeat in the battle is reported.

For example, when presentation mode A1 is selected, "normal" is selected as the 1st G presentation. In this embodiment, no matter which presentation mode is selected, "normal" is selected, and there is no difference in the presentation of the 1st G.

When the production mode A1 is selected, "weak conversation" is selected as the 2G production. The details will be explained using FIG. 17, but the conversation effects include a weak conversation effect that is executed when "weak conversation" is selected, a medium conversation effect that is executed when "medium conversation" is selected, and a medium conversation effect that is executed when "strong conversation" is selected. There are three levels of strong dialogue, and the expectation is that you will win the battle in the order of strong dialogue, medium dialogue, and weak dialogue.

When production mode A1 is selected, "enemy weak attack/ally defense" is selected as the 3rd G production. In this case, first, an effect is performed in which an enemy character (also simply referred to as "enemy") makes a weak attack, and an ally character (also simply referred to as "ally") defends against the attack.

Attacks include weak attacks and strong attacks. The expectation of winning the battle is lower when the enemy makes a strong attack than when the enemy makes a weak attack. Also, you are more likely to win the battle when your ally makes a strong attack than when your ally makes a weak attack.

In addition, there are defense and avoidance against attacks. When defense is selected, a performance is performed in which the player receives damage from the attack but withstands the attack. On the other hand, if evasion is selected, an effect of dodging the attack (not receiving damage) is executed.

When an enemy attacks, the expectation of winning the battle is lower when an ally defends than when an ally evades. Furthermore, when an ally attacks, the expectation of winning the battle is higher when the enemy defends than when the enemy evades.

In this manner, in the 3rd G, an effect is performed in which the player defends or evades the enemy's or enemy's attack.

When production mode A1 is selected, "enemy strong attack/ally defense" is selected as the production for the 4th G. In this case, first, an effect is performed in which the enemy character makes a strong attack and the ally character defends against the attack.

When the performance mode A1 is selected, "normal PB (push button)" is selected as the 5th performance, and "defeat" is selected as the 6th performance. In this case, both sides attack in the 5th G. Then, when "Normal PB" is selected, a promotion image promoting operation of the effect switch 56 is displayed on the screen.

Since defeat is selected in the 6th G, when the production switch 56 is operated, a production in which an ally falls down (goes down) due to the enemy's attack is executed. Then, in the 6th G, a result notification effect is executed to notify the defeat of the battle.

As the performance for the 5th G, "normal PB" and "chance PB" can be selected. When "Chance PB" is selected, the size of the displayed promotion image is larger and the expectation of winning the battle is higher than when "Normal PB" is selected.

Further, as the 6th G effect, "victory" and "defeat" can be selected. When "Victory" is selected, when the effect switch 56 is operated in the 5th G, a effect is executed in which the enemy is knocked down by an attack by an ally, and in the 6th G, a result notification effect is executed to notify the victory of the battle. Ru. On the other hand, when "defeat" is selected, when the production switch 56 is operated in the 5th G, a production in which an ally is downed by the enemy's attack is performed, and in the 6th G, a result notification production is performed to notify the defeat of the battle. is executed.

In other words, when production mode A1 is selected, the 1st G is "normal", the 2nd G is "weak conversation", the 3rd G is "enemy weak attack/ally defense", and the 4th G is "enemy strong attack/ally defense" , "Normal PB" is selected in the 5th G, and "defeat" is selected in the 6th G.

When production mode A32 is selected, the 1st G is "Normal", the 2nd G is "Strong Conversation", the 3rd G is "Strong ally attack/enemy defense", the 4th G is "Strong ally attack/enemy defense", and the 5th G is "Strong conversation". "Chance PB" is selected on the 6th G, and "Win" is selected on the 6th G.

When performance mode A32 is selected, the percentage of winning battle performance 1 is higher than when performance mode A1 is selected. Comparing production modes A1 and A32, production mode A32 has "strong conversation" with high expectations in the 2nd G, "strong ally attack" with high expectations in the 3rd and 4th G, and high expectations in the 5th G. After "Chance PB" is selected, the battle is finally won. In this way, when a performance mode with a high degree of expectation is selected in each game, the player comes to expect victory in the battle.

Furthermore, although not explained above, in the battle performance, a reversal performance and a confirmed performance can be executed. When any of the performance modes A33 to A39 is selected, a reversal performance is executed.

For example, when presentation mode A33 is selected, when the presentation switch 56 is operated in the 5th G, a presentation is performed in which an ally is knocked down by an enemy's attack. Then, in the 6th G, the downed ally stands up and attacks the enemy, and then a result notification effect is executed in which the enemy is down and the victory of the battle is announced.

Furthermore, when any of the performance modes A40 to An is selected, a confirmed performance is executed. The confirmed performance is a performance that can be executed at a predetermined timing after the battle performance starts and before the result of the battle performance is notified. When a confirmed performance is executed in a battle performance, it is confirmed that a battle victory will be announced in the battle performance.

In this embodiment, the predetermined timing is the 3rd G start timing, the 4th G start timing, or the 5 G start timing. Specifically, there are cases in which the confirmed effect is executed in the 4th to 6th G, cases in which it is executed in the 5th and 6th G, and cases in which it is executed in the 6th G. When the confirmed performance is executed, a special attack to attack the enemy is performed, and in the 6th G, a result notification performance that will definitely lead to a victory in the battle is executed.

For example, when presentation mode A40 is selected, "confirm" is selected in the 5th G. As a result, a special attack is performed in the 5th G, and a result notification effect of winning the battle is executed in the 6th G.

For example, when presentation mode An is selected, "confirm" is selected in the 3rd to 5th Gs. As a result, a special attack is performed in the 3rd to 5th G, and a result notification effect of winning the battle is executed in the 6th G.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 controls to CZ after 250G has elapsed in the advantageous section. The sub-control unit 91 can perform up to three battle performances (battles 1 to 3) in the controlled CZ. The main control unit 41 controls the AT when a battle victory is announced in any of the three battle presentations (when it is announced that the battle has been won in the result notification presentation).

Whether or not to win the battle in each battle production, the degree of expectation of winning the battle in each battle production, and whether or not to be controlled by AT are determined by battle production lottery in the first game controlled by CZ. Ru. These decisions are made based on the points earned through the point acquisition lottery during the 250G normal advantageous section. As described above, the configuration is such that conversation effects can be performed in each of the three battle effects (battles 1 to 3).

In the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 controls the third battle performance (battle 3) when a battle victory is notified in the battle performance, and the case where the battle victory is reported in the battle performance. Conversation effects are selected from multiple types of effects (weak conversation effects, medium conversation effects, strong conversation effects) at different rates depending on the battle effects (battles 1 and 2) that are executed before the third battle effect. Select each performance mode.

Specifically, the lottery tables A31 to A33 in Battle 3 shown in FIG. 13, the lottery tables A11 to A13 in Battle 1 shown in FIG. 11, and the lottery tables A21 to A23 in Battle 2 shown in FIG. The selection ratio of the performance mode when it is determined to win the battle is different (for example, the probability is different for Xa131 and Xa111 or Xa121). By selecting production mode A at different rates, as shown in FIG. 16, the rate at which the production mode of conversation production is selected (selecting one of weak conversation, medium conversation, and strong conversation) also differs. Become.

In addition, the sub-control unit 91 controls the third battle performance (battle 3) when a battle defeat is announced in the battle performance (when defeat in the battle is reported in the result notification performance), and the battle performance (battle 3). When a battle defeat is announced in the production, a conversation production is performed from among multiple types of production modes at a different rate depending on the battle production (Battle 1, 2) that is executed before the third battle production. Select each aspect.

Specifically, the lottery tables A31 to A33 in Battle 3 shown in FIG. 13, the lottery tables A11 to A13 in Battle 1 shown in FIG. 11, and the lottery tables A21 to A23 in Battle 2 shown in FIG. The selection ratio of the performance mode when it is determined that the player will lose in the battle is different (for example, the probability is different between Xb131 and Xb111 or Xb121). By selecting production mode A at different rates, as shown in FIG. 16, the rate at which the production mode of conversation production is selected (selecting one of weak conversation, medium conversation, and strong conversation) also differs. Become.

Further, the sub control unit 91 controls the third battle performance (battle 3) when a battle victory is reported in the battle performance, and the third battle performance (battle 3) when a battle victory is reported in the battle performance. It is easier to select, as the presentation mode of the conversation performance, a presentation mode in which the expectation of being notified of a battle victory is higher than the battle presentation (battles 1 and 2) executed earlier.

Specifically, when it is decided to win the battle, the lottery tables A31 to A33 in battle 3 have stronger conversations than the lottery tables A11 to A13 in battle 1 and the lottery tables A21 to A23 in battle 2. The presentation mode A may be selected such that the selection rate is high. In other words, when it is determined that the player will win the battle, the strong conversation is more likely to be selected in Battle 3. In this case, strong lines are more likely to appear.

In this embodiment, Battle 3 is finally executed after Battle 1 and Battle 2 are won. For the players, if they manage to win battles 1 and 2 and win the final battle 3, they will be controlled by AT, so pay particular attention to whether or not they will win battle 3. It turns out.

In the case of the above configuration, by making it easier to execute the strong conversation effect in the battle 3, it is possible to suitably increase the player's expectations for winning the battle and being controlled by the AT.

In addition, the sub control unit 91 notifies the battle victory in the battle performance for battle performances (battles 1 and 2) that are executed before the third battle performance when the battle victory is reported in the battle performance. In this case, it is easier to select a performance mode in which the expectation of being notified of a battle victory is lower than the third battle performance (Battle 3) as the performance mode of the conversation performance.

Specifically, when it is decided to win the battle, the lottery tables A11 to A13 in battle 1 and the lottery tables A21 to A23 in battle 2 have weaker conversations than the lottery tables A31 to A33 in battle 3. The presentation mode A may be selected such that the selection rate is high. In other words, when it is determined that the player will win the battle, weak conversations are less likely to be selected in battle 3. In this case, weak lines are less likely to appear.

In the case of the above configuration, by making it difficult to execute a weak conversation effect in battle 3, the player's expectations for winning the battle and being controlled by AT can be undermined by the execution of the weak conversation effect. Therefore, a sense of expectation can be suitably maintained.

Further, the sub control unit 91 controls the third battle performance (battle 3) when a battle defeat is reported in the battle performance, and the third battle performance (battle 3) when a battle defeat is reported in the battle performance. It is easier to select, as the presentation mode of the conversation performance, a presentation mode in which the expectation of being notified of a battle victory is higher than the battle presentation (battles 1 and 2) executed earlier.

Specifically, when it is determined that the battle is defeated, the lottery tables A31 to A33 in battle 3 have stronger conversations than the lottery tables A11 to A13 in battle 1 and the lottery tables A21 to A23 in battle 2. The presentation mode A may be selected such that the selection rate is high. In other words, when it is determined that the player will lose the battle, the strong conversation is more likely to be selected in Battle 3.

For example, in battles 1 and 2, if the configuration is configured so that the strong conversation is more likely to be selected when it is decided to win the battle, the player will be able to win the battle by executing the strong conversation effect. They begin to have a sense of expectation that they will become deaf. As mentioned above, players pay particular attention to whether or not they will win the battle of Battle 3. For this reason, if the frequency of execution of the strong conversation effect is simply reduced even if it is decided that the player will lose in the battle of Battle 3, the interest in the game will be reduced.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, even if it is decided that the player will lose in battle 3, which is the focus of the player's attention, battle 3 is more likely to be defeated than battles 1 and 2. This makes it easier for strong conversations to be selected.

In the case of the above configuration, by making it easier to execute the strong conversation effect in the battle 3, it is possible to suitably increase the player's expectations for winning the battle and being controlled by the AT.

Further, the sub-control unit 91 notifies the battle defeat in the battle performance for battle performances (battles 1 and 2) that are executed before the third battle performance when the battle defeat is reported in the battle performance. In this case, it is easier to select a performance mode in which the expectation of being notified of a battle victory is lower than the third battle performance (Battle 3) as the performance mode of the conversation performance.

Specifically, when it is determined that the battle is defeated, the lottery tables A11 to A13 in battle 1 and the lottery tables A21 to A23 in battle 2 have weaker conversations than the lottery tables A31 to A33 in battle 3. The presentation mode A may be selected such that the selection rate is high. In other words, when it is determined that the player will lose the battle, weak conversations are less likely to be selected in battle 3.

In the case of the above configuration, by making it difficult to execute a weak conversation effect in battle 3, the player's expectations for winning the battle and being controlled by AT can be undermined by the execution of the weak conversation effect. Therefore, a sense of expectation can be suitably maintained.

The sub-control unit 91 controls the third battle performance (battle 3) when a battle victory is reported in the battle performance, and the third battle performance (battle 3) when a battle defeat is reported in the battle performance. It may be possible to make it easier to select a presentation mode for the conversation presentation in which there is a higher expectation that a battle victory will be announced than the battle presentations (battles 1 and 2) that are executed earlier. Further, the sub-control unit 91 controls the third battle performance (battle 3) when a battle defeat is reported in the battle performance, and the third battle performance (battle 3) when a battle victory is reported in the battle performance. It may be possible to make it easier to select a presentation mode for the conversation presentation in which there is a higher expectation that a battle victory will be announced than the battle presentations (battles 1 and 2) that are executed earlier.

In addition, the sub control unit 91 notifies battle defeat in the battle performance for battle performances (battles 1 and 2) that are executed before the third battle performance when a battle victory is reported in the battle performance. In this case, it may be possible to make it easier to select a performance mode in which the expectation of being notified of a battle victory is lower than the third battle performance (Battle 3) as the performance mode for the conversation performance. In addition, the sub-control unit 91 notifies that a battle victory is announced in the battle performance for battle performances (battles 1 and 2) that are executed before the third battle performance when a battle defeat is reported in the battle performance. In this case, it may be possible to make it easier to select a performance mode in which the expectation of being notified of a battle victory is lower than the third battle performance (Battle 3) as the performance mode for the conversation performance.

Further, the sub-control unit 91 determines that the expectation level for notification of a battle victory is higher for the third battle performance (battle 3) than for the battle performances (battles 1 and 2) that are executed before the third battle performance. A presentation mode with a high value may be made easier to select as a presentation mode of the conversation presentation. Further, the sub-control unit 91 controls the expectation level that battle victory will be reported for battle performances (battles 1 and 2) executed before the third battle performance, compared to the third battle performance (battle 3). It may be possible to make it easier to select a presentation mode with a low value as a presentation mode of conversation presentation.

Further, as shown in FIG. 16, it is determined which presentation mode to perform in each game (1G to 6G) as the production mode (production mode A1 to An) of the battle production. Further, the performance mode of the battle performance (performance mode A1 to An) is determined all at once when controlled by the CZ. The presentation modes A1 to An are determined for each battle presentation, that is, for each battle presentation 1 to 3, as shown in FIGS. 11 to 13. At that time, as shown in FIG. The performance mode from 1st to 6th G is determined at once).

In addition, in the above configuration, when a battle production mode (production mode A1 to An) is selected, a conversation mode is selected as an example from among a plurality of production modes. explained. However, the present invention is not limited to conversation effects, and may be applied to title effects in which the title of a battle effect is displayed in an identifiable manner.

In this case, when the presentation mode (performance mode A1 to An) of the battle presentation is selected, the presentation mode of the title presentation is selected from among a plurality of types of presentation modes (weak title, strong title). When the weak title presentation mode is determined, the title is displayed as shown in FIGS. 9(a1) to 9(a3) in the same manner as the weak serif characters described in FIG. 9(a4).

When the presentation mode using a strong title is determined, the title is displayed in the same manner as the strong serif characters explained with reference to FIG. 9(a5). That is, when a title is displayed using a strong title, the title is displayed in a manner that attracts (stands out) the player's attention more than when a title is displayed using a weak title.

In this case, similarly to the conversation effect, that is, when it is determined to win the battle, strong titles are more likely to be selected and weaker titles are less likely to be selected in battle 3. Further, in the case where it is determined that the player will lose the battle, in the battle 3, a strong title is more likely to be selected, and a weak title is less likely to be selected.

In addition, the same configuration as the conversation performance can be applied. Furthermore, these configurations may be applied only to conversation effects, only to title effects, or to both conversation effects and title effects.

Further, as described above, the sub-control unit 91 can execute the confirmed effect at a predetermined timing after the battle effect has started and before the result of the battle effect is notified, and the confirmed effect is executed in the battle effect. When this occurs, it is confirmed that a battle victory will be announced in the battle performance.

The sub-control unit 91 controls the third battle performance (battle 3) when a battle victory is announced in the battle performance, and the third battle performance when the battle victory is reported in the battle performance. The confirmed performance is executed at a different rate from the previously executed battle performance (battles 1 and 2).

Specifically, when any of the performance modes A40 to An is selected in the first lottery, the confirmed performance is executed. Then, performance modes A40 to An in which confirmed performances are performed at different rates when using the lottery table A3 for battle 3 and when using the lottery table A1 for battle 1 or the lottery table A2 for battle 2 All you have to do is select one of them.

The sub-control unit 91 executes the confirmed performance at a lower rate in the third battle performance (battle 3) than in the battle performances (battles 1 and 2) that are executed before the third battle performance. It's okay. In this case, in the battle 3, the first lottery is conducted so that the production modes A40 to An in which the confirmed production is executed are difficult to select.

The sub-control unit 91 executes confirmed effects at a higher rate in the third battle effect (battle 3) than in the battle effects (battles 1 and 2) that are executed before the third battle effect. It's okay. In this case, in the battle 3, the first lottery is conducted so that the production modes A40 to An in which the confirmed production is executed are likely to be selected.

When a confirmed performance is executed in a battle performance, the rate of selection of a performance mode with a high expectation that a battle victory will be announced as a conversation performance is lower than when a confirmed performance is not executed in a battle performance. It's okay.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, in the production modes A40 to An in which the confirmed production is executed, there is no "strong conversation" as the production mode of the 2G, which has a high expectation that a battle victory will be announced. Only "weak dialogue" is selected. Alternatively, even if "strong conversation" is included in the performance modes A40 to An, the first lottery may be performed so that "strong conversation" is less likely to be selected when the final performance is executed.

By doing this, the highly anticipated conversation effects are not executed or are difficult to perform, which lowers expectations for victory in the battle, but when the confirmed effects are executed and the victory in the battle is confirmed, It is possible to increase surprise and improve the interest of the game.

Note that the production modes A1 to An are common to battles 1 to 3 as shown in Figure 16, but in battle 3, the production modes of the 5th and 6th G are not determined when controlling CZ, and in each battle production. When the 5th G start operation is performed, the performance modes of the 5th G and 6 G are determined. At this time, the performance mode determined is almost the same as the performance modes A1 to An, but as will be described later with reference to FIG. 19, the performance content differs depending on whether or not the replay is won. For example, if production mode A1 is selected, "Normal PB" is selected in the 5th G, and "Defeat" is selected in the 6th G, but if the replay is not won, the MAX BET An effect that causes the player to operate the switch 6 is executed, whereas an effect that causes the user to operate the effect switch 56 is executed when the replay is won. This is to execute the effect that will make you perform the start operation after that, and if you have not won the replay, operate the MAXBET switch 6 and then perform the start operation, but if you have won the replay, the MAXBET Since the starting operation can be performed without operating the switch 6, the production switch 56 is operated instead of the MAXBET switch 6.

[Flow of battle production]
As explained using FIG. 16, the battle performance is performed for a total of 6G according to the performance mode (performance mode A1 to An) selected by the first lottery. Hereinafter, the flow of the battle performance executed according to the performance mode selected by the first lottery will be explained using FIGS. 17 to 19.

17 to 19 are diagrams for explaining the flow of battle effects. Figures 17 (a1) to (a3), Figures 18 (a4) and (a5) are the flow of the effects of battles 1 and 2, and Figures 17 (a1) to (a3), Figures 19 (b1) and (b2). ) is the flow of the effect of Battle 3, and FIG. 18 (a6) is the flow of the effect when the confirmed effect is executed. It should be noted that the flow of presentation is the same for battles 1 to 3 from 1st to 4th G, and only battle 3 has a different flow of presentation for 5th and 6th G.

In the 1st G of the battle performance, a performance including a title performance is executed. As shown in FIG. 17(a1), when a start operation is performed to start the 1st G of battle performance, an image in which an enemy appears is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

Then, by detecting the ON signal of the stop switch for making the third stop (also referred to as "third stop operation ON"), an ally appears and an image of the enemy and ally facing each other is displayed. At this time, a title effect for displaying the title is executed, and an expectation level suggestion indicating the level of expectation is performed. Specifically, images such as those shown in FIGS. 9(a1) to (a3) are displayed. Note that the expectation level suggestion may be performed before the start of the battle performance, or may be performed during the execution of the battle performance.

As explained above, no matter which presentation mode is selected, "normal" is selected, and there is no difference in presentation in the 1st G. When a start operation for starting the next game is performed, the second game of the battle performance starts.

In the 2nd G of the battle performance, a performance including a conversation performance is performed. As shown in FIG. 17(a2), when a start operation is performed to start the 1st G of the battle performance, a conversation performance in which the displayed allies utter weak lines or strong lines is executed. The difference between weak serifs and strong serifs is as explained using FIGS. 9(a4) and (a5).

When the third stop operation is turned ON, if an ally is uttering a weak line, a conversation effect is executed in which the displayed enemy utters a weak line. On the other hand, if an ally is uttering a strong line, a conversation effect is executed in which the displayed enemy utters a weak or strong line. When a start operation for starting the next game is performed, the third game of the battle performance starts.

In the present embodiment, it is possible to suggest in stages the degree of expectation that a battle victory will be announced in the battle performance depending on the presentation mode of the conversation performance. A conversation performance that is executed in a production mode in which the enemy utters a weak line after an ally utters a weak line is called a weak conversation production, and a conversation carried out in a production mode in which the enemy utters a weak line after an ally utters a strong line. The effect is referred to as a medium conversation effect, and a conversation effect executed in a manner in which the enemy utters a strong line after an ally utters a strong line is referred to as a strong conversation effect.

As explained earlier, when "weak conversation" is selected, a weak conversation effect is executed, when "medium conversation" is selected, a medium conversation effect is executed, and when "strong conversation" is selected, a strong conversation effect is executed, and when a strong conversation effect is selected, a strong conversation effect is executed. The first lottery is conducted in the order of conversation performance, medium conversation performance, and weak conversation performance so that the expectation level of winning the battle increases.

That is, in the present embodiment, the conversation performance is executed in three stages, and depending on the performance mode of the conversation performance, it is possible to suggest in stages (three stages) the degree of expectation that a battle victory will be announced in the battle performance. It has become.

In addition, in all battles (battles 1 to 3), the level of expectation will be reported in three stages. In other words, the number of levels of expectations at which a battle victory is announced in the battle performance between the third battle performance (battle 3) and the battle performances (battles 1 and 2) that are executed before the third battle performance. (3) are equal.

Further, as shown in FIG. 17(a2), the conversation performance is a performance executed in the second game of the battle performance. Since the battle performance is a performance that is performed over six games, the conversation performance is a performance that is performed in the first half (second game) of the battle performance.

In the 2nd G, a conversation performance that suggests the degree of expectation is executed, so the player performs an operation expecting that a strong ally line will appear at the time of the start operation of the 2nd G. Furthermore, at the time of the third stop operation, the user performs the operation with the expectation that the enemy's strong dialogue, which is highly anticipated, will appear (the strong conversation effect will be executed).

In the 3rd or 4th G of the battle performance, a performance in which an ally character and an enemy character engage in battle is performed. As shown in FIG. 17(a3), when a start operation is performed to start the 3rd or 4th G of the battle performance, an ally attack or an enemy attack is performed.

When an ally attack is performed, an image of an ally charging the enemy and launching an attack is displayed by the start operation. When the first stop operation is turned on, an image of a weak ally attack or a strong ally attack is displayed. An image of an ally attacking the enemy more violently is displayed for a strong ally attack than for a weak ally attack.

When the third stop operation is turned on, an image of enemy avoidance or enemy defense is displayed. When evading an enemy, the enemy will receive damage from an ally's attack, but will be shown to withstand the attack. On the other hand, when evading an enemy, an effect is performed in which the enemy dodges the attack of an ally (does not receive damage). When a start operation for starting the next game is performed, the 4th or 5th G of the battle performance starts.

On the other hand, when an enemy attack is to be performed, an image of the enemy charging and attacking an ally is displayed by the start operation. When the first stop operation is turned on, an image of a weak enemy attack or a strong enemy attack is displayed. An image of the enemy attacking an ally more violently is displayed for a strong enemy attack than for a weak enemy attack.

When the third stop operation is turned on, an image of ally avoidance or ally defense is displayed. When evading an ally, the ally will receive damage from the enemy's attack, but will be able to withstand the attack. On the other hand, in ally avoidance, an effect is performed in which an ally evades the enemy's attack (does not receive damage). When a start operation for starting the next game is performed, the 4th or 5th G of the battle performance starts.

As explained earlier, the expectation of winning the battle is lower when the enemy makes a strong attack than when the enemy makes a light attack, and when an ally makes a strong attack than when an ally makes a light attack. High expectations for winning the battle. Also, when an enemy attacks, the expectation of winning the battle is lower when an ally defends than when an ally evades; There is a higher expectation that you will win the battle when you do this.

Next, the flow of the 5th G and 6th G effects when Battles 1 and 2 are being executed will be explained. In the 5th G (judge game) of the battle performance, a performance is performed in which a final battle between an ally character and an enemy character takes place. As shown in FIG. 18(a4), when a start operation is performed to start the 5th G of the battle performance, images of both allies and enemies starting attacks are displayed.

If "Normal PB (Push Button)" is selected by turning on the third stop operation and images of both allies and enemies attacking are displayed, the production switch 56 will be displayed on the screen. When the promotion image that promotes operation is displayed in the normal size and "Chance PB (push button)" is selected, the promotion image that promotes the operation of the production switch 56 is displayed on the screen in a size larger than the normal size. are also displayed in larger size. The person who selects "Chance PB" has a higher expectation of winning the battle.

In the present embodiment, in the 3rd and 4th G, the expectation level increases in the order in which a strong ally attack, a weak ally attack, a weak enemy attack, and a strong enemy attack occur. Also, the expectation level increases in the order in which enemy defense, enemy evasion, ally evasion, and ally defense occur. Therefore, the player performs the operation with the expectation that the ally's attack will start at the start operation of the 3rd and 4th G, especially that the ally's strong attack will occur. Also, attention is paid to whether evasion or defense occurs when the third stop operation is turned on. Note that in Battle 3, allies' attacks may be made more likely to appear than in Battles 1 and 2 to increase the player's expectations.

It should be noted that when "chance PB (push button)" is selected than when "normal PB (push button)" is selected, it is easier to see the production mode of the physical production switch 56 itself. You can stand it up. For example, in the former case, the effect switch 56 may be lit, and in the latter case, the effect switch 56 may be blinked, or the lighting color may be different.

When the defeat of the battle has been determined, when the production switch 56 is operated, an image of an ally being defeated by an enemy's attack is displayed. When a start operation for starting the next game is performed, the 6th G (defeat pattern) of the battle performance starts.

On the other hand, when the victory of the battle has been determined, when the effect switch 56 is operated, an image of the enemy being knocked down by an attack by an ally is displayed. When a start operation for starting the next game is performed, the 6th G (victory pattern) of the battle performance starts.

In the 6th G of the battle performance, a result notification performance is executed in which victory or defeat in the battle is reported. As shown in FIG. 18 (a5), in the case of the victory pattern, when the start operation is performed to start the 6th G of the battle performance, the image "NEXT" is displayed to notify the victory of the battle, and the next When a start operation is performed to start the game, the next battle begins.

On the other hand, in the case of a defeat pattern, when the start operation to start the 6th G of the battle performance is performed, the end screen is displayed to notify the defeat of the battle, and the start operation to start the next game is performed. When this is done, the advantageous section is normally controlled.

However, even if it is a defeat pattern, if a reversal effect is executed, by turning on the third stop operation, the downed ally will stand up and attack the enemy, and then the enemy will go down and the victory of the battle will be announced. Ru. In this case, when a start operation for starting the next game is performed, the next battle starts.

In this embodiment, if the enemy goes down when the 5th G effect switch 56 is operated, the battle is won. Therefore, the player operates the 5th G effect switch 56 with the expectation that the enemy will be knocked down. Furthermore, even if an ally is down, turning on the third stop operation in the sixth game may cause a reversal and win the battle. Therefore, the player performs the third stop operation in the sixth game with the expectation that a reversal will occur. In addition, in Battle 3, reversals may occur more easily than in Battles 1 and 2, so as to heighten the expectations of the players.

Furthermore, when a high level of expectation is suggested in the level of expectation suggestion, a performance with a high level of expectation is likely to be executed in the battle performance. For this reason, when a high level of expectation is suggested in the level of expectation suggestion, strong conversation, friendly attack, chance PB, reversal, etc. are likely to occur.

Next, a case where a confirmed effect is executed will be explained. As shown in FIG. 18(a6), when "Confirm" is selected in the 3rd to 5th G, an image in which a special attack is performed in the 3rd to 5th G is displayed. When the confirmed performance is executed, the 6th G of the battle performance is always started according to the winning pattern, and the battle is won.

In this case, when the start operation is performed to start the 3rd G, special attack 1 is performed, when the start operation is performed to start the 4th G, special attack 2 is performed, and when the start operation is performed to start the 5th G, special attack 1 is performed. When the start operation is performed, special attack 3 is performed, and when the start operation for starting the 6th G is performed, the 6th G of the battle performance is started according to the winning pattern. As special attacks 1 to 3, for example, an image of an ally character equipped with a special weapon and attacking an enemy character is displayed.

If "Confirm" is selected in the 4th and 5th Gs, an image in which a special attack is performed in the 4th and 5th Gs is displayed. In this case, when the start operation is performed to start the 4th G, special attack 1 is performed, when the start operation is performed to start the 5th G, special attack 3 is performed, and when the start operation is performed to start the 5th G, special attack 3 is performed, and when the start operation is performed to start the 5th G, special attack 3 is performed. When the start operation is performed, the 6th G of the battle performance starts according to the winning pattern.

If "confirm" is selected in the 5th G, an image in which a special attack is performed in the 5th G is displayed. In this case, when the start operation is performed to start the 5th G, special attacks 1 and 3 will be performed, and when the start operation is performed to start the 6th G, the 6th G of the battle performance will start according to the victory pattern. .

Next, the flow of the 5th G and 6th G effects when Battle 3 is being executed will be explained. As shown in FIG. 19(b1), when a start operation is performed to start the 5th G of the battle performance, images of both allies and enemies starting attacks are displayed.

If the replay is won in the game, both allies and enemies will attack when the stop switch ON signal for making the third stop is no longer detected (also referred to as "third stop operation OFF"). In a state where the image is displayed, a promotion image for promoting the operation of the production switch 56 is displayed on the screen.

When the defeat of the battle has been determined, when the production switch 56 is operated, an image of an ally being defeated by an enemy attack is displayed. When a start operation for starting the next game is performed, the 6th G (defeat pattern) of the battle performance starts.

When the victory of the battle has been determined, when the production switch 56 is operated, a text image "hit the lever" and a promotion image promoting the start operation are displayed on the screen. When the start operation is performed, the 6th G (victory pattern) of the battle performance starts.

On the other hand, if the replay is not won in the game, the third stop operation is turned OFF, and the image of both allies and enemies attacking is displayed on the screen, and the MAXBET switch 6 is operated. A promotional image is displayed.

When the defeat of the battle has been determined, when the MAXBET switch 6 is operated, an image of an ally going down due to enemy attack is displayed. When a start operation for starting the next game is performed, the 6th G (defeat pattern) of the battle performance starts.

When the victory of the battle is determined, when the MAXBET switch 6 is operated, a text image "Hit the lever" and a promotion image promoting the start operation are displayed on the screen. When the start operation is performed, the 6th G (victory pattern) of the battle performance starts.

As shown in FIG. 19 (b2), in the case of a victory pattern, when the start operation is performed to start the 6th G of the battle performance, an image of an ally being downed by an enemy attack is displayed, and an image “WIN ” will be displayed to notify you that you have won the battle. When a start operation for starting the next game is performed, it is controlled by AT.

On the other hand, in the case of a defeat pattern, when the start operation to start the 6th G of the battle performance is performed, the end screen is displayed to notify the defeat of the battle, and the start operation to start the next game is performed. When this is done, the advantageous section is normally controlled.

However, even if it is a defeat pattern, if a reversal effect is executed, by turning on the third stop operation, the downed ally will stand up and attack the enemy, and then the enemy will go down and the victory of the battle will be announced. Ru. In this case, when a start operation is performed to start the next game, the AT
controlled by.

[Main effects]
Next, the main effects obtained by the embodiment described above will be explained.

(1-1) A gaming machine for playing games (for example, slot machine 1, pachinko gaming machine),
A specific state control means capable of controlling to a specific state (for example, AT) (for example, processing to control to AT by the main control unit 41);
A notification production (for example, battle production (battles 1 to 3)) that notifies either an advantageous result (for example, winning the battle) or an unfavorable result (for example, losing the battle) is performed a specific number of times (for example, (3 times) (for example, a process for executing a battle performance by the sub-control unit 91);
A specific performance execution means (for example, a process for executing a conversation performance by the sub-control unit 91) capable of executing a specific performance (for example, a conversation performance) in each of the notification performances executed for the specific number of times. ,
The specific state control means controls to the specific state when the advantageous result is announced in any of the notification effects executed the specific number of times (for example, FIG. 8);
The specific performance execution means is configured to perform the notification performance for the specific number of times when the advantageous result is announced in the notification performance, and the specified number of times when the advantageous result is notified in the notification performance. The performance mode of the specific performance is selected from a plurality of types of performance modes at different rates depending on the notification performance executed before the notification performance of the eyes (for example, FIG. 16).

Specifically, the main control unit 41 can control AT as a specific state. Further, the sub-control unit 91 executes a battle production (battles 1 to 3) three times to notify either an advantageous result (winning the battle) or an unfavorable result (defeating the battle). It is possible. Furthermore, the sub-control unit 91 is capable of executing a conversation effect as a specific effect in each of the three battle effects. Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the main control unit 41 performs AT control when a battle victory is announced in any of the three battle performances executed. In addition, the sub control unit 91 controls the third battle performance when a battle victory is announced in the battle performance, and the sub-control unit 91 before the third battle performance when the battle victory is reported in the battle performance. The performance mode of the conversation performance is selected from a plurality of types of performance modes at different rates depending on the battle performance to be executed.

In this way, the third battle performance is when a battle victory is announced, and the battle performance is performed before the third battle performance when a battle victory is announced during the battle performance. Since the production modes of the conversation production are selected at different rates, it is possible to execute the notification production according to the third situation and the situation before the third time. In this way, it is possible to improve the interest of the game regarding the battle performance that can be executed multiple times.

The notification performance includes a first notification performance (for example, the first performance shown in FIGS. 9(a1) to (a3), a performance executed by the performance mode A of the battle performance), and the notification performance during the notification performance. A second notification performance (for example, the second performance shown in FIG. 9 (a6), according to the performance mode B of the battle performance including)
The notification performance execution means is
Regarding the first notification performance, the first notification performance is performed based on the same decision data (for example, lottery table A13) when the first expectation level is suggested and when the second expectation level is suggested. On the other hand, when the third expectation degree is suggested, different decision data (for example, lottery table A12) from when either the first expectation degree or the second expectation degree is suggested. Based on this, it is possible to determine the performance mode of the first notification performance (for example, FIG. 10(a)),
Regarding the second notification performance, different decision data (for example, Based on the lottery tables B14, B13, B12), it is possible to determine the performance mode of the second notification performance (for example, FIG. 10(a)).

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 9(a1) to (a3), the sub-control unit 91 notifies either an advantageous result (winning the battle) or an unfavorable result (losing the battle). It is possible to perform battle effects (battles 1 to 3). Further, as shown in FIGS. 9(a1) to (a3), before the battle performance is executed, the sub-control unit 91 controls the expectation level that indicates the expectation level that a battle victory will be announced as a result of the battle performance. The suggestion is actionable. Further, the expectation level suggestion includes a first expectation level (10%), a second expectation level (25%), and a third expectation level (40%). In addition, the battle performance is performed when the first performance (the performance performed by the performance mode A of the battle performance) and an opportunity (winning a rare role) that allows the result of the battle performance to be rewritten during the battle performance are established. A second effect (FIG. 9(a6)) to be executed is included. Further, as shown in FIG. 10(a), the sub-control unit 91 uses the same decision data (lottery drawing) for the first effect when the first expectation level is suggested and when the second expectation level is suggested.

The rate at which the second performance is performed in the battle performance is higher than when the second performance is performed. By doing so, the second effect is more likely to be executed in a situation where the expectation level is low, so that it is possible to suitably increase the surprise in a situation where the expectation level is low.

[Modified example]
Although the main embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications and applications are possible. Modifications of the above embodiments applicable to the present invention will be described below.

[About the production lottery table]
In this embodiment, for each of the first performance lottery table, the second performance lottery table, and the third performance lottery table, the performance mode is set at different rates depending on the determined expectation level, whether or not AT is won, and whether the battle is won or lost. I made it possible to select. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and presentation modes may be selected at different rates depending only on the determined expectation level. This may be done in the second effect lottery table and the third effect lottery table, or may be done in all the effect lottery tables.

In addition, in the second lottery, when it is determined that AT will not win or when it is determined that the battle will be defeated, the proportion of selections that will increase the player's expectations is increased. Good too. Further, if an AT is won during the AT transition during a battle performance, a result notification performance may be performed to notify that the battle has been won in the game, and control may be performed to AT from the next game. Alternatively, the performance mode may be changed so that the battle is won in all battles.

In addition, in the third lottery, when it is decided that AT will not win or when it is decided that the battle will be defeated, the proportion of selections that will increase the player's expectations will be increased. Good too. Further, if an AT is won during the AT transition during a battle performance, a result notification performance may be performed to notify that the battle has been won in the game, and control may be performed to AT from the next game. Alternatively, the performance mode may be changed so that the battle is won in all battles.

[About conversation production]
In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17(a2), when a start operation is performed in the 2nd G, if an ally's weak line appears, it turns out to be a weak conversation performance, and an ally's strong line appears. If it appears, it turns out that it is a medium conversation performance or a strong conversation performance. In other words, the trigger for performing a medium conversation performance or higher is at the time of the start operation. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the presentation mode of the conversation presentation may not be revealed until the third stop operation is turned on. For example, at the time of the start operation, only weak ally lines are generated, and when the third stop operation is ON, enemy weak lines (weak conversation effect), enemy medium lines (medium conversation effect), and enemy strong lines (strong conversation effect) are generated. ) may appear.
[About application to pachinko machines]
Next, an example in which the present invention is applied to a pachinko game machine will be explained. Hereinafter, detailed explanation of the same parts as in the above embodiment will be omitted.

In a pachinko game machine, a game is played by driving a pachinko ball, which is a game medium, into a game area provided on a game board by operating a ball-striking operation handle. In a pachinko game machine, when pachinko balls pass through a starting area provided in a game area, it is determined whether or not to generate a jackpot based on extracted random numbers. By passing through the starting area, the image display device displays a fluctuating effect pattern. When a jackpot is achieved, a jackpot symbol is derived and displayed as a result of the variable display. After the jackpot is achieved, the game is controlled to a jackpot gaming state. After the jackpot gaming state ends, depending on the jackpot type, the state may be controlled to a variable probability state. Probability change control is executed in which the probability that the probability change state display result is a "jackpot" is higher than in the normal state. When applied to a pachinko game machine, for example, one variable display can be simulated as multiple variable displays by temporarily stopping the production symbol and then restarting the variable display. It may also be applied to a pseudo-continuous performance that looks like this. In this case, the execution state of one pseudo-continuous performance becomes the notification performance. Moreover, the jackpot game state becomes a specific state. Then, when it is suggested that the next pseudo-series performance will be executed in the pseudo-series performance, or when control to a jackpot game state is suggested, an advantageous result will be obtained.

Note that the various configurations, various processes, timings of various processes, etc. in the present embodiment and the modified examples described above can be combined as appropriate.

The embodiments disclosed this time should be considered to be illustrative in all respects and not restrictive. The scope of the present invention is indicated by the claims rather than the above description, and it is intended that all changes within the meaning and range equivalent to the claims are included.
