  Next, details of various tables stored in the main ROM 101b will be described with reference to FIGS.

  4A and 4B are diagrams showing an example of the jackpot determination table. The jackpot determination constitutes a special symbol lottery and is to determine whether or not to execute a jackpot game advantageous to the player.

  FIG. 4A is a table (a jackpot determination table for the first special symbol) that is referred to in the jackpot determination performed when a game ball enters the first start port 6. On the other hand, FIG. 4B is a table (a jackpot determination table for the second special symbol) that is referred to in the jackpot determination performed when the game ball enters the second start port 7.

  Each of the jackpot determination tables is a jackpot determination table (hereinafter referred to as a “low probability jackpot determination table”) that is referred to when the jackpot winning probability, which will be described later, is relatively low (set to a standard value). And a jackpot determination table (hereinafter referred to as a “high probability jackpot determination table”) that is referred to in a relatively high state (set higher than the standard value).

  In each jackpot determination table, a jackpot determination value and a determination result are uniquely associated and stored. As will be described later, by matching the jackpot determination random number acquired when the game ball enters the first starting port 6 or the second starting port 7 with the jackpot determination table, Either “winning” or “losing” is determined.

  If the result of the jackpot determination is “big jackpot”, the jackpot game with the opening of the jackpot 8 is executed after the special symbol indicating the result is stopped and displayed. If the result of the big hit determination is “small win”, the small win game with the opening of the big winning opening 8 is executed after the special symbol indicating the result is stopped. If the result of the jackpot determination is “losing”, neither the jackpot game or the jackpot game is executed.

  In addition, in the variation effect as the special drawing lottery effect, as will be described later, a reach effect is performed to increase the player's expectation of winning the big hit. As a reach effect, for example, the above-mentioned special-figure decorative symbols are pseudo-stopped in two areas of the left area, the center area, and the right area of the display area 140 of the image display device 14 during the variable display of the effect symbols. (A part of the production symbol performs a pseudo stop display), and if a predetermined special figure decoration symbol stops on a predetermined effective line in the remaining one region, it becomes an arrangement of special figure decoration symbols representing the winning of the jackpot There is a reach effect in which a state (so-called “reach state”) occurs. If the result of the jackpot determination is “losing”, the result of the jackpot determination is still “losing” even if this stunning specific state is reached.

  After the reach state occurs in the reach production, a specific production (so-called “super-reach production”) that increases the expectation of winning a big win may or may not be developed. Further, in the reach production, the reach state does not always occur. That is, there is also a reach effect in which a predetermined effect is performed to increase the player's expectation of winning the big hit without reaching a reach state. If the result of the jackpot determination is “big jackpot”, the reach effect is basically performed in most cases.

  Fig.5 (a)-FIG.5 (c) are figures which show an example of a special symbol determination table. The special symbol determination constitutes a special symbol lottery, and the types of special symbols to be stopped and displayed on the first special symbol first display 60 and the second special symbol first display 61 based on the result of the jackpot determination. (Special symbol stop display mode) is to be determined.

  The special symbol determination table is largely divided according to the result of the jackpot determination (big hit, small hit and loss). That is, FIG. 5A is a table referred to in the special symbol determination when the result of the jackpot determination is “big hit”, and FIG. 5B is the case where the result of the jackpot determination is “small hit”. The table referred to in the special symbol determination, FIG. 5C, is a table referred to in the special symbol determination when the result of the jackpot determination is “losing”.

  Each of these tables is further divided according to the type of start opening (the first start opening 6 or the second start opening 7) in which a game ball was entered as a trigger for the special symbol determination.

  Each special symbol determination table stores a special symbol determination value and a special symbol to be stopped and displayed in a uniquely associated manner. As will be described later, the special symbol determination random number acquired when the game ball enters the first start port 6 or the second start port 7 is collated with the special symbol determination table to be stopped and displayed. A special symbol is determined. As special symbol identification information to be stopped and displayed, special symbol stop symbol data and special effect symbol designating commands are set.

  The special figure stop symbol data is used in the process on the main control board 101, and the special effect design designation command is transmitted to the effect control board 102 and used in the process on the effect control board 102. The special effect designating command is generated and transmitted to the effect control board 102 at the start of the special symbol variable display (during the special symbol memory determination process in step S310).

  The special effect designating command is for identifying a special symbol display device (the first special symbol first display 60 or the second special symbol first display 61) on which the special symbol related to the special symbol determination is stopped and displayed. It consists of 1-byte MODE data and 1-byte DATA data for identifying special symbols to be stopped and displayed.

  For the special effect designating command, if the MODE data is “E3H”, it means that the special symbol is stopped on the first special symbol first display 60, and if the MODE data is “E4H”, The special symbol stop display is performed on the second special symbol first display 61. The special effect symbol designating command with MODE data “E3H” is referred to as “first special effect symbol designating command”, and the special effect symbol designating command with MODE data “E4H” is referred to as “second special effect symbol designating command”. "

As conditions for controlling the opening / closing of the big prize opening 8, a special number is a round number (R) which is the number of the round game, and an opening number of the big prize opening 8 (operation of the big prize opening control device 80) in each round game. The operation number (K) and the opening time and closing time (operation time, non-operation time) of the special winning opening 8 are set.

  FIG. 7A is a diagram illustrating an example of the small hit game control table used when controlling the small hit game.

  The small hit game control table stores conditions for controlling the small hit game. As conditions for controlling the small hit game, the opening time, which is a period from the start of the small hit game until the first opening of the big winning opening 8, and the transmission to the effect control board 102 at the start of the opening The opening designation command, the type of table used to control the opening / closing of the big prize opening 8, the ending time which is the period from the end of the last opening of the big prize opening 8 to the end of the small hit game, And the ending designation | designated command transmitted to the production | presentation control board 102 at the time of ending start is set. The conditions for controlling these small hit games are related to the type of the small hit, that is, the type of special symbol (special symbol stop symbol data). That is, which control condition is used in the small hit game is selected based on the type of special symbol.

  FIG. 7B is a diagram showing an example of a big prize opening / closing control table for a small hit game used when the opening / closing of the big prize opening 8 is controlled. The big winning opening / closing control table for the small hit game stores conditions for controlling the opening / closing of the big winning opening 8 during the small hit game. The conditions for controlling the opening and closing of the big prize opening 8 are the round number (R), the special electric action number (K) that is the opening number of the big prize opening 8 (operation of the big prize opening control device 80), and the big prize. The opening time and closing time (operation time, non-operation time) of the mouth 8 are set.

  FIG. 8A shows an example of a game condition data determination table that is referred to when determining game condition data. The game condition data is identification information that represents a game condition that is newly set (changed) after the jackpot game when the jackpot is won. The game condition data is associated with the jackpot winning probability at the time of the special symbol determination and the result of the special symbol determination (special symbol stop symbol data). That is, the game condition data determination table is divided according to the jackpot winning probability (low probability gaming state / high probability gaming state), and in each divided table, the type of special symbol (special diagram stop symbol data) and game Condition data is uniquely associated and stored.

  The game condition data is composed of 2-byte data. The upper byte of the game condition data represents a jackpot winning probability newly set by the jackpot winning. If it is “01H”, the winning probability of the jackpot is set to a high probability (high probability gaming state) after the jackpot game, and if it is “00H”, the winning probability of the jackpot is low (low probability game). Status). On the other hand, the low-order byte of the game condition data represents the start opening prize ease that is newly set by the jackpot winning. If it is “01H”, the start port winning ease after the jackpot game is set to easy (short time gaming state), and if it is “00H”, the starting port winning ease is difficult after the jackpot game (non-short time gaming state). ).

  FIG. 8B shows an example of the game condition determination table. The game condition determination is to determine a game condition that is newly set when the jackpot game ends (during the jackpot game end process). As described above, in the present embodiment, the jackpot winning probability and the start opening winning ease are set as the game conditions.

  The game condition determination table includes game condition data and each game condition, that is, ON / OFF of a flag indicating the game condition (high probability flag and time-short flag) and the number of times of special symbol variable display that can be executed according to the game condition. (Xa, Ja: hereinafter referred to as “executable number of times”) are uniquely associated and stored. The number of times that the special symbol display can be executed means the specified number of times of special symbol variable display according to the newly set game conditions. Note that the number of times that the special symbol display can be executed corresponds to the number of determinations for jackpot determination.

As described above, in the gaming machine Y, the main CPU 101a, when executing the jackpot game, is advantageous to the player as compared to the normal game state (low probability game state and non-time-short game state) after the jackpot game ends. A specific gaming state (a high probability gaming state and a short-time gaming state) is set.
The main CPU 101a ends the specific gaming state when the number of jackpot determinations (the number of times that the special symbol display can be performed) reaches 84 times in this specific gaming state (high probability gaming state and short-time gaming state). Yes. Thus, the gaming machine Y functions as a so-called “ST machine”.

(Special symbol variation pattern determination table)
FIG. 9 to FIG. 12 are diagrams showing examples of special figure fluctuation pattern determination tables that are referred to when determining a variation display mode of special symbols (hereinafter referred to as “special figure fluctuation pattern”).

FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of a special figure variation pattern determination table that is referred to when determining a special figure variation pattern in the low-probability gaming state and the non-time-saving gaming state.
FIG. 10 shows how to determine the special figure variation pattern when the number of times of variation of the special symbol in the high-probability gaming state and the short-time gaming state when winning the first jackpot or the second jackpot is 1st to 30th. It is a figure which shows an example of the special figure fluctuation pattern determination table referred.
FIG. 11 shows how to determine the special figure variation pattern when the special symbol variation number in the high-probability gaming state and the short-time gaming state when winning the first jackpot or the second jackpot is the 31st to 74th times. It is a figure which shows an example of the special figure fluctuation pattern determination table referred.
FIG. 12 shows how to determine the special figure variation pattern when the number of times of variation of the special symbol in the high-probability gaming state and the short-time gaming state when winning the first jackpot or the second jackpot is 75th to 84th. It is a figure which shows an example of the special figure fluctuation pattern determination table referred.
It should be noted that the special figure variation pattern determination table that is referred to when determining the special variation pattern in the high-probability gaming state and the non-time-saving gaming state when winning the third jackpot, or that is referenced when winning the small bonus Description of the special figure variation pattern determination table is omitted.

  As will be described later with reference to FIG. 25, the main CPU 101a refers to the game condition determination table (FIG. 8B) in the main ROM 101b and confirms the current gaming state determined by ON / OFF of the high probability flag and the short time flag. If the current gaming state is a high-probability gaming state and a short-time gaming state, the number of fluctuations of the special symbol variation display is confirmed, and the special figure fluctuation is determined according to the gaming state or the gaming state and the number of fluctuations. Select the pattern determination table.

  When the main CPU 101a determines that the current gaming state is a low-probability gaming state and a non-time-saving gaming state (normal state), the main CPU 101a refers to (selects) the special figure variation pattern determination table of FIG.

  Further, when the main CPU 101a determines that the current state is the high probability gaming state and the short-time gaming state and the special symbol variation number is 1 to 31 times, refer to the special diagram variation pattern determination table of FIG. To do.

  Further, when the main CPU 101a determines that the current state is the high-probability gaming state and the short-time gaming state and the special symbol variation number is 31 to 74 times, refer to the special diagram variation pattern determination table in FIG. To do.

  Further, when the main CPU 101a determines that the current state is the high probability gaming state and the short-time gaming state and the special symbol variation number is 75 to 84 times, refer to the special diagram variation pattern determination table of FIG. To do.

  In addition, when the main CPU 101a is currently in the high probability gaming state and the non-short-time gaming state, or when winning a small win, the main CPU 101a refers to a predetermined special figure variation pattern determination table (not shown).

  The special symbol variation pattern determination table includes special symbol stop symbol data reflecting the result of the special symbol determination and the type of the special symbol display device that operates in the special symbol display (the start port related to the special symbol display), and the special symbol The number of holds (U1 or U2), the reach determination value for determining presence / absence of reach, and the special figure fluctuation pattern determination value for determining the special figure fluctuation pattern are stored.

  When the special figure stop symbol data is “10H” to “17H”, or “20H”, “21H” (big hit, small hit), the main CPU 101a determines that the game ball is the first start port 6 or the second start port. The special figure fluctuation pattern determination random number acquired in response to entering the ball 7 is compared with the special figure fluctuation pattern determination value (0 to 255) distributed according to the special figure stop data. To decide.

  Alternatively, when the special figure stop symbol data is “18H” or “28H” (losing), the main CPU 101a confirms the special figure pending number (U1 or U2) related to the special figure variation pattern determination process. . The main CPU 101a obtains a random number for reach determination, compares it with the reach determination value (0 to 99) corresponding to the confirmed special figure hold number (U1 or U2), or the special figure variation pattern of “unreach without reach”, Alternatively, it is determined whether it is a special figure fluctuation pattern of “Leach with reach”.

  Although the maximum number of “4” may be stored as the special figure hold number, when determining whether the special figure fluctuation pattern of “Leach without reach” or the special figure fluctuation pattern of “Leach with reach” is determined. Does not refer to “4” as the number of reserved balls.

  When the main CPU 101a determines “unreach without reach”, the acquired random number for determining the special figure fluctuation pattern is collated with the special figure fluctuation pattern determination value (0 to 255) distributed according to the “unreach without reach”. Then, the special figure variation pattern is determined.

  When the main CPU 101a determines “losing with reach”, the acquired random number for determining the special figure fluctuation pattern is collated with the special figure fluctuation pattern determination value (0 to 255) distributed according to the “losing with reach”. Then, the special figure variation pattern is determined.

  The main CPU 101a determines the special symbol variation pattern by special symbol variation pattern determination (step S313-3) at the time of starting the variation display of the special symbol (during the special symbol memory determination process in step S300).

  The special figure fluctuation pattern is associated with the determination result of the jackpot determination and the time required for the special symbol fluctuation display (hereinafter referred to as “special figure fluctuation time”). Note that the special symbol variation pattern includes a first special symbol variation pattern which is a variation display mode of the first special symbol displayed on the first special symbol first indicator 60 and a second special symbol first indicator 61. It is distinguished from the second special figure variation pattern which is a variation display mode of the second special symbol to be displayed.

  The main CPU 101 a generates a special symbol variation pattern designation command based on the determined special symbol variation pattern, and transmits the command to the effect control board 102.

  Since the special figure fluctuation pattern is allocated at a predetermined ratio set in advance in each special figure fluctuation pattern determination table, the special figure fluctuation pattern has an expected degree of reliability (reliability) and a specific jackpot (for example, The degree of expectation (reliability) to be won is associated with the first jackpot and the second jackpot.

  The sub CPU 102a of the effect control board 102 determines the contents of the effect based on the special figure variation pattern designation command received from the main control board 101, as will be described later. In addition, in the rightmost column of the special symbol variation pattern determination table shown in FIGS. 9 to 12, the variation effect effect type determined by the sub CPU 102 a is described in association with the special diagram variation pattern designation command as a reference. ing.

  Here, as the effect contents, here, “symbol variation” means that a plurality of special effect symbols are variably displayed on the image display device 14.

  In addition, “reach” is a variation mode that gives a player a sense of expectation of jackpot, such that a part of the combination of special performance symbols that inform the jackpot is temporarily stopped and other special effects symbols fluctuate. Means. For example, when the combination of special effect symbols of “777” is set as a combination of special effect symbols for notifying the jackpot, the two special effect symbols are temporarily stopped at “7”, and the remaining special effect symbols are displayed. It means an aspect in which the production symbol is changing. The “temporary stop” refers to an aspect in which the special effect symbol is changed to the player because the special effect symbol is slightly shaken or deformed.

  In the effect types of variation effects shown in FIG. 9, “symbol variation 1” to “symbol variation 3” are “lost” as the determination result of the jackpot determination without being in the reach mode after a plurality of special effect symbols are variably displayed. It is a fluctuating effect that informs. The “symbol variation 1” is a “shortening variation” performed in a very short special symbol variation time of 4 seconds. The “symbol variation 2” and “symbol variation 3” are variation effects performed with special symbol variation times of 8 seconds and 12 seconds, respectively.

  In addition, the “normal reach” shown in FIG. 9 stops and displays the two symbols (left symbol and right symbol) of the special effect symbol with the same numerical value (for example, 7) after the symbol variation in which a plurality of special effect symbols are variably displayed. It is a fluctuating effect that performs a reach effect.

  Further, “normal reach → story reach” shown in FIG. 9 is a fluctuating effect that is executed when the determination result of the jackpot determination is the third jackpot or the jackpot. This “normal reach → story reach” is a normal reach that stops and displays the two symbols (left symbol and right symbol) of the special effect symbol with the same numerical value (for example, 7) after the symbol variation that variably displays a plurality of special effect symbols. After that, story reach is performed as a reach production with a higher expectation of jackpot than normal reach. This story reach suggests that the decision result of the jackpot judgment is the third jackpot or the jackpot by going on a journey to find the dog that disappeared in the following challenge reach, and finding the dog at the end It is a reach production consisting of a story of the contents.

  Further, “symbol variation 2 → challenge reach” shown in FIG. 9 is a variation effect executed when the determination result of the big hit determination is the third big hit or the small hit. This “symbol variation 2 → challenge reach” stops the two symbols (left symbol and right symbol) of the special performance symbol after the “symbol variation 2” with the same numerical value (for example, 7), and also in the above story reach The character that appears appears to challenge the treasure hunt game in which a target item is searched from a plurality of treasure chests, and the character wins the item, suggesting that the determination result of the jackpot determination is a third jackpot or a jackpot The content is challenged.

  Further, “symbol variation 3 → challenge reach” shown in FIG. 9 is a variation effect in which the challenge reach is performed after “symbol variation 3”.

  In addition, “normal reach → super reach” shown in FIG. 9 indicates that the two symbols (left symbol and right symbol) of the special effect symbol are the same numerical value (for example, 7) after the symbol variation in which a plurality of special effect symbols are variably displayed. This is a fluctuating effect in which a normal reach for stop display is performed, and then a super reach with a higher expectation for jackpot than the normal reach is performed.

  In addition, “normal reach → special reach” shown in FIG. 9 indicates that the two symbols (left symbol and right symbol) of the special effect symbol are the same numerical value (for example, 7) after the symbol variation in which a plurality of special effect symbols are variably displayed. This is a fluctuating effect in which normal reach for stop display is performed, and then special reach with a higher expectation for jackpot than the above-described super reach is performed.

  In addition, “normal reach → super reach → special reach” shown in FIG. 9 is a variable effect in which a special reach is performed after a normal reach is performed after a normal reach is performed after a symbol change in which a plurality of special effect symbols are displayed in a variable manner. is there.

As shown in FIG. 9, the special figure variation pattern designation command determined in the case of the first jackpot whose stop symbol data is “10H” is “E6H0AH”, “E6H0BH” as can be seen from the special figure variation pattern determination values. ”And“ E6H0CH ”, the selection ratio increases. Similarly, the special figure fluctuation pattern designation command determined in the case of the second jackpot whose stop symbol data is “11H” is “E6H0DH”, “E6H0EH”, “E6H0FH” as can be seen from the special figure fluctuation pattern determination value. ", The selection ratio increases.
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 9, the special figure variation pattern designation command determined when the stop symbol data is “18H” is “E6H09H”, “E6H08H” as can be seen from the special figure variation pattern determination values. ”And“ E6H07H ”, the selection ratio decreases.

  As shown in FIG. 9, when the sub CPU 102a receives “E6H0AH” as the variation pattern designation command from the main control board 101, “normal reach → super reach” of “variation presentation pattern A034” to “variation presentation pattern A037”. And “E6H0BH” is received as the variation pattern designation command from the main control board 101, “Normal reach → Special reach” of “Change effect pattern A038” to “Change effect pattern A041” is changed. When “E6H0CH” is received as the variation pattern designation command from the main control board 101, “normal reach → super reach → special reach” of “variation presentation pattern A042” to “variation presentation pattern A045” is determined. Decided to run To.

Later, variation effects of “variation effect pattern A034”, “variation effect pattern A038”, and “variation effect pattern A042” will be described as variation effects of effect mode A set in the low-probability gaming state and the non-time-saving gaming state.
When the expectation degree for the big hit of “variation effect pattern A034”, “variation effect pattern A038”, and “variation effect pattern A042” is described, as can be seen from the selection ratio of “E6H0AH”, “E6H0BH”, and “E6H0CH” described above. “Variation effect pattern A034” of “normal reach → super reach” executed when the sub CPU 102a receives “E6H0AH”, “Fluctuation effect of“ normal reach → special reach ”executed when the sub CPU 102a receives“ E6H0BH ” As the “pattern A038” and “variable effect pattern A042” of “normal reach → super reach” executed when the sub CPU 102a receives “E6H0CH”, it can be said that the degree of expectation for the jackpot increases.

  Further, “symbol variation 1” to “symbol variation 3” shown in the variation pattern determination table of FIG. 10 selected in the high-probability gaming state and the short-time gaming state have special diagram variation times of 2 seconds, 6 seconds, and 10 seconds, respectively. These special symbol variation times are represented by “symbol variation 1” to “symbol variation 3” shown in the variation pattern determination table of FIG. 9 selected in the low-probability gaming state and the non-short-time gaming state, respectively. The special figure fluctuation time for execution is shorter than 4 seconds, 8 seconds, and 12 seconds. In addition, the selection ratio of the “special pattern variation pattern 30” for executing the “symbol variation 1” with the shortest special symbol variation time of 2 seconds is the special diagram variation time 4 shown in the variation pattern determination table of FIG. It is set higher than the selection ratio of “special pattern fluctuation pattern 00” for executing “symbol fluctuation 1” in seconds.

  In addition, “symbol variation → special character reach 1” to “symbol variation → special character reach 6” shown in FIG. 10 are special characters that appear only in mode B, which will be described later, after symbol variation in which a plurality of special effect symbols are displayed in a variable manner. This is a fluctuating production with special character reach. Details of this special character reach will be described later with reference to FIGS.

  In addition, in the effect types of variation effects shown in FIG. 11, “symbol variation 1” to “symbol variation 3” are variation effects in which a plurality of special effect symbols are variably displayed, and the variation effects corresponding to the special diagram variation time. The production time is different.

  In addition, “symbol variation → attack reach 1” to “symbol variation → attack reach 6” shown in FIG. 11 is an attack reach in which different characters attack each other after the symbol variation in which a plurality of special performance symbols are variably displayed. It is a fluctuating effect to perform. Details of this attack reach will be described later with reference to FIGS.

  Further, the fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 12 does not have a special figure fluctuation pattern for executing an extremely short fluctuation effect such as a special figure fluctuation time of 2 seconds or 6 seconds. As shown in FIG. 12, "Janken production (losing 1)" to "Janken production (losing 6)", "Janken production (win 1)" to "Janken production (win 3)", "Janken production (Aiko 1)" ”To“ Janken production (Aiko 3) ”, after changing the symbol to display a plurality of special effect symbols, the two symbols (left symbol and right symbol) of the special effect symbols are stopped and displayed with the same numerical value (for example, 7). This is a fluctuating effect in which a “jenken effect” is performed, in which two characters (a friend character and an opponent character) perform a junk.

“Janken production (losing 1)” to “Janken production (losing 6)” are fluctuating productions that are executed when the jackpot determination result is a loss. Further, “Janken production (win 1)” to “Janken production (win 3)” are fluctuating productions executed when the first jackpot or the second jackpot is determined as the determination result of the jackpot determination. “Janken production (Aiko 1)” to “Janken production (Aiko 3)” are fluctuating production executed when the determination result of the big hit determination is “third big hit” or “small hit”.
Details of this “Janken production” will be described later with reference to FIGS. 70 and 71.

  A start opening prize designation command and a special figure fluctuation pattern designation command are set corresponding to each special figure fluctuation pattern. The start opening winning designation command corresponds to the special figure variation pattern determined by the first pre-determination or the second pre-determination, and is transmitted to the effect control board 102 after the first pre-determination or the second pre-determination. The special figure fluctuation pattern designation command corresponds to the special figure fluctuation pattern determined by the special figure fluctuation pattern determination, and is transmitted to the effect control board 102 after the special figure fluctuation pattern determination.

  The special symbol variation pattern designation command identifies a special symbol display device (the first special symbol first display 60 or the second special symbol first display 61) on which the special symbol variation display related to the special symbol determination is performed. 1 byte MODE data and 1 byte DATA data for identifying a special figure variation pattern. Regarding the special figure variation pattern designation command, if the MODE data is “E6H”, it indicates that the special symbol variation display is performed on the first special symbol first display 60, and if the MODE data is “E7H”. The second special symbol first display 61 indicates that the special symbol is changed and displayed.

  The special figure fluctuation pattern designation command whose MODE data is “E6H” is called “first special figure fluctuation pattern designation command”, and the special figure fluctuation pattern designation command whose MODE data is “E7H” is “second”. This is called a “special pattern variation pattern designation command”.

  The start opening winning designation command is composed of 1-byte MODE data for identifying the type of the start opening and 1-byte DATA data for identifying the special figure variation pattern. Regarding the start opening prize designation command, if the MODE data is “E1H”, it indicates that a game ball has entered the first start opening 6, and if the MODE data is “E2H”, the second start opening 7 is displayed. Indicates that a game ball has entered. It should be noted that the start opening prize designation command with MODE data “E1H” is “first start opening prize designation command”, and the start opening prize designation command with MODE data “E2H” is “second start opening prize designation command”.

It is a figure which shows the common figure fluctuation pattern determination table for this. The common figure variation pattern determination table is composed of a common figure variation pattern determination table that is referred to in the non-short-time gaming state and a common figure variation pattern determination table that is referred to in the short-time gaming state.

  In each table, a common pattern variation pattern determination value and one or a plurality of common map variation patterns are uniquely associated and stored. As will be described later, the normal variation pattern is determined by comparing the random number for determining the normal variation pattern acquired when the game ball passes the winning gates 9 and 10 with the normal variation variation determination table. The

  A command change pattern designation command is set corresponding to the command map change pattern. It is transmitted to the effect control board 102 after the normal pattern variation pattern is determined. When the production control board 102 receives the normal symbol variation pattern designation command, the normal symbol variation display is started from now on, and the determination result of the normal symbol determination relating to the variation display of the ordinary symbol is recognized. it can.

  The usual pattern change pattern designation command is composed of 1-byte MODE data for identifying the gaming state related to the current start opening winning ease, and 1-byte DATA data for identifying the usual figure change pattern. Yes. With respect to the usual variation pattern designation command, if the MODE data is “D6H”, it represents a non-short-time gaming state, and if the MODE data is “D7H”, it represents a time-short gaming state.

This table stores data (auxiliary game reference data) that is referred to when performing an auxiliary game. As shown in FIG. 13 (d), in the auxiliary game reference data determination table, the combination of the current start opening winning ease and the normal stop symbol data is associated with the auxiliary game reference data. That is, the auxiliary game reference data includes information regarding the start opening winning easiness state and the result of the normal symbol determination when the normal symbol determination is performed.

  FIG. 13E is a diagram illustrating an example of an auxiliary game control table used when controlling the auxiliary game.

  The auxiliary game control table stores conditions for controlling the auxiliary game. As conditions for controlling the auxiliary game, an opening time, which is a period from when the auxiliary game is started to when the second opening 7 is first opened, and transmission to the effect control board 102 at the start of the opening. Opening designation command, type of table used to control opening / closing of the second starting port 7, ending time, which is a period from the end of the last opening of the second starting port 7 to the end of the auxiliary game, And the ending designation | designated command transmitted to the production | presentation control board 102 at the time of ending start is set. The conditions for controlling these auxiliary games are associated with auxiliary game reference data.

  FIG. 13F is a diagram illustrating an example of a second start port opening / closing control table for auxiliary games used when controlling the opening / closing of the second start port 7. Conditions for controlling the opening and closing of the second start port 7 during the auxiliary game are stored in the second start port opening / closing control table for the auxiliary game. As conditions for controlling the opening and closing of the second starting port 7, a general electric operation number (D) which is an opening number (operation of the second starting port control device 70) number of the second starting port 7 in the auxiliary game, 2 Opening time and closing time (operation time, non-operation time) of the start port 7 are set.

(Explanation of special game types)
Here, the special game will be described. In the present embodiment, the special game involving the opening of the big winning opening 8 (the operation of the big winning opening control device 80) is “big hit game” and “small hit” which are executed when “big hit” is won. It is composed of “small hit game” that is executed when winning. The jackpot game is divided into a “first jackpot game”, a “second jackpot game”, and a “third jackpot game” mainly depending on the opening / closing mode of the jackpot 8.

  In the jackpot game, a round game involving one or more opening of the big winning opening 8 is executed a predetermined number of times. In each round game, the number of times that the special winning opening 8 can be opened (hereinafter referred to as the maximum number of times of opening) and the total time that can be opened (hereinafter referred to as the maximum opening time) are set in advance. The reason that “can be opened” is that the number of game balls that can enter the big winning opening 8 during one round game is limited (for example, 9). Therefore, even if the grand prize winning opening 8 is not opened the maximum number of times of opening, the big winning prize opening 8 may be closed and the round game may end. Even if the maximum opening time has not elapsed, the special winning opening 8 is closed and the round game may end. It should be noted that the maximum number of times and the maximum opening time of the big winning opening 8 in each round game may or may not be unified for each jackpot game.

(Description of game conditions)
Next, game conditions that are conditions when the game progresses will be described. In the present embodiment, the jackpot winning probability and the start opening winning ease are set as the game conditions. As for the jackpot winning probability, the game progresses under the low-probability gaming state or the high-probability gaming state, and the game ball progresses under the short-time gaming state or the non-short-time gaming state with respect to the ease of winning the game opening. To do. The initial (power-on) gaming conditions are set to a low probability gaming state and a non-short-time gaming state, and this low probability gaming state and a non-time-short gaming state are referred to as a normal gaming state.

  In the present embodiment, the low probability gaming state with respect to the jackpot winning probability means that the jackpot winning probability in the jackpot determination is set to be disadvantageous to the player at 1/350. On the other hand, the high probability gaming state is that the jackpot winning probability is higher than the low probability gaming state, that is, set to 1/80 which is relatively advantageous to the player. Therefore, when the jackpot winning probability is in a high probability gaming state, winning a jackpot is easier than in the low probability gaming state, and the number of winning jackpots per unit time is relatively large, which is advantageous to the player. It can be said that it is a state.

  The non-time-saving gaming state is a state in which the start opening winning easiness is normal. Specifically, in the non-short-time gaming state, the time required for the normal symbol change display (hereinafter referred to as the normal figure change time) is set to 15 seconds, and is activated when “winning” is won in the hit determination. 2 The total operation time of the starting port control device 70 (opening time of the second starting port 7) is set to 0.2 seconds or 5.1 seconds, and the probability of winning in the hit determination for the normal symbol is 1 / It is set to 50. Note that the “total opening time” is that the second starting port 7 may be opened multiple times per win, and a game ball can be won per win. This is because the number is limited, and when a game ball is won, it closes without waiting for the opening time.

  On the other hand, in the short-time gaming state, the opening time of the second starting port 7 per unit time (the operating time of the second starting port control device 70) is longer than in the non-short-time gaming state, and the second starting port 7 Is a gaming state that tends to be open. Due to the relatively high start opening prize ease, the number of times the second special symbol determination can be performed per unit time increases. Under the same jackpot winning probability, the number of executions of the second special symbol determination per unit time inevitably increases the number of winning jackpots per unit time. It can be said that this is an advantageous state for the player as compared to the gaming state.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, in the short-time gaming state, the normal variation time is set to 3.0 seconds, the total maximum opening time of the second start port 7 is set to 5.2 seconds, The probability of winning is set to 1/5. That is, all the components of the start opening winning ease are set to be more advantageous to the player than the non-time-saving gaming state. In the short-time gaming state, the second start port 7 is opened twice via a 1.0 second closure (interval). However, there is no such closure, and it may be opened only once. Moreover, the closure may be provided a plurality of times.

  In this embodiment, when a game ball enters the start openings 6 and 7, three prize balls can be obtained, but the player fires the game ball by operating the appropriate launch handle 32. However, the number of game balls possessed by the player tends to decrease. However, in the short-time gaming state, since it is easier to enter the second starting port 7 than in the non-short-time gaming state, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the number of game balls possessed by the player. That is, from the viewpoint of the number of game balls possessed by the player, the short-time game state is set to be more advantageous for the player than the non-short-time game state.

  In this way, the jackpot game type (first to third jackpot games) and the game conditions newly set after the jackpot game (low probability game state or high probability game state, non-short game state, by winning the jackpot Or a combination with the short-time gaming state). In view of this, the substantial jackpot type (the jackpot type based on the profits enjoyed by the player) includes the type of jackpot game to be executed and the game conditions newly set after the jackpot game ends ( It can be said that it is a combination with (game state). Therefore, hereinafter, apart from the type of jackpot based on the special figure stop symbol data, based on the combination of the type of jackpot game derived by the jackpot and the game conditions after the jackpot game, that is, based on the type of profit that the player enjoys The jackpot type can be classified.

  By winning the jackpot, the jackpot game with the number of rounds of 16R (round) is executed (first jackpot game), and then set to the high probability gaming state and the short-time gaming state is called "first jackpot" By winning, a jackpot game with a round number of 4R (round) ("second jackpot game") is executed, and then a jackpot that is set to a high-probability game state and a short-time game state is called "second jackpot" A jackpot game in which a jackpot game with a round number of 2R (round) ("third jackpot game") is executed and then set to a high-probability gaming state and a short-time gaming state is referred to as a "third jackpot".

  If the jackpot is won, the normal game state is set when the jackpot game starts regardless of the state before the jackpot game. That is, during the jackpot game, the low probability game state and the non-short-time game state are entered. On the other hand, even if winning a small win, the game conditions do not change. That is, the gaming state at the time of winning the small hit is continued as it is during the small hit game and after the small hit game.

(Main processing of main control board)
The main process of the main control board 101 will be described with reference to FIG.

  For updating various random numbers, the random number is updated by adding “1” to a random number counter provided for each type of random number. Various random numbers have a random number range. The random number range is from “0” to the maximum value determined for the random number. In the update of the random number, when the random number indicated by the random number counter is the maximum value in the random number range, the random number counter is reset to “0” without adding “1”, and each random number value is newly updated from the initial random number at that time. Update to

  In step S400, the main CPU 101a controls the normal symbol first display 62, the normal symbol holding first indicator 65, and the second starting port control device 70 (control of the normal symbol system device). Control processing (normal symbol processing) is performed.

  The main CPU 101a loads the value of the general-purpose power transmission processing data in the normal-time normal power control processing (ordinary symbol system processing) and refers to the branch address from the loaded general-purpose power transmission processing data. If the processing data = 0, the normal symbol determination as to whether or not the auxiliary game is to be executed (the second start port 7 is opened) based on the general symbol determination information acquired based on the winning to the winning gates 9 and 10 is performed. Normal symbol memory determination processing including normal symbol normal power processing data = 1, if normal symbol first display 62 is fluctuating based on the normal symbol determination, normal symbol variation processing is performed, If the normal signal normal power processing data = 2, the normal symbol first display 62 is stopped when the normal symbol first display 62 is stopped. Auxiliary for opening / closing control (operation of the second starting port control device 70) Perform the technique processing.

  In step S500, the main CPU 101a performs a payout control process. In this process, the main CPU 101a determines whether or not the winning ball counters corresponding to the starting port (the first starting port 6 and the second starting port 7), the big winning port 8 and the general winning port 11 have exceeded “0”. If it exceeds “0”, a prize ball request signal indicating the number of prize balls corresponding to each winning opening is transmitted to the payout control board 103. When a prize ball signal is transmitted, an update process for subtracting “1” from the prize ball counter related to the signal is performed.

  In step S700, the main CPU 101a performs output control processing. In this process, first, a port output process for outputting a signal based on the external signal output control data and the drive control data created in S600 is performed. Next, to turn on the LEDs of the first special symbol first indicator 60, the second special symbol first indicator 61, the first special symbol hold first indicator 63, and the second special symbol hold second indicator 64. In addition, a display device output process for outputting a signal based on the display control data created in step S600 is performed. Finally, command transmission processing for transmitting the command set in the transmission buffer of the main RAM 101c to another board is also performed.

  In step S800, the main CPU 101a restores the information saved in step S100 to the register of the main CPU 101a.

  The input control process will be described with reference to FIG. First, in step S210, the main CPU 101a determines whether or not a detection signal is input from the general winning opening detection sensor 11a, that is, whether or not a game ball has entered the general winning opening 11. When the main CPU 101a does not input a detection signal from the general winning opening detection sensor 11a, the main CPU 101a moves the process to step S220. When the main CPU 101a receives a detection signal from the general winning opening detection sensor 11a, the main CPU 101a updates the general winning opening prize ball counter used for winning balls by adding predetermined data.

  In step S220, the main CPU 101a determines whether or not the detection signal from the big winning opening detection sensor 8a has been inputted, that is, whether or not the game ball has entered the big winning opening 8. When the main CPU 101a has not input a detection signal from the special winning opening detection sensor 8a, the main CPU 101a moves the process to step S230. When the main CPU 101a receives a detection signal from the special winning opening detection sensor 8a, the main CPU 101a adds predetermined data to the special winning opening prize ball counter used for the winning ball and updates it, and wins the big winning opening 8. The counter value of the round winning counter (C) for counting the played game balls is added and updated.

  In step S230, the main CPU 101a determines whether a detection signal from the first start port detection sensor 6a has been input, that is, whether or not a game ball has entered the first start port 6. Details will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In step S240, the main CPU 101a determines whether or not the detection signal from the second start port detection sensor 7a has been input, that is, whether or not the game ball has entered the second start port 7. Details will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In step S250, the main CPU 101a determines whether or not the detection signals from the winning gate detection sensors 9a and 10a are input, that is, whether or not the game ball has passed the winning gate 10. Details will be described later with reference to FIG.

  Next, the first start port detection signal input process will be described with reference to FIG. In step S231, the main CPU 101a determines whether or not there is a valid detection signal from the first start port detection sensor 6a. If there is no valid detection signal, the process ends. If there is a valid detection signal, the start opening prize counter is updated by adding “1” in step S232, and the first start opening entering the main RAM 101c is updated. The first start port winning flag is turned ON in the flag storage area.

  In step S233, the main CPU 101a determines whether or not the counter value of the first special figure hold number counter for counting the first special figure hold number (U1) is smaller than 4 (upper limit value). If the main CPU 101a determines that the counter value (U1) is not less than 4, the main CPU 101a terminates the processing. If the main CPU 101a determines that the first special figure hold number (U1) is smaller than 4, the first special figure hold in step S234. The counter value of the number counter is updated by adding “1”. In step S234, the main CPU 101a updates the first special symbol hold number (U1) displayed on the first special symbol hold first display 63 to display the special symbol hold display data indicating the hold number. It is set in a predetermined area of the main RAM 101c.

  In step S235, the main CPU 101a receives the special determination information including the random number values indicated by the jackpot determination random number counter, the special symbol determination random number counter, the reach determination random number counter, and the special symbol variation pattern determination random number counter as the first special information. Store in the symbol hold storage area.

  The first special symbol reserved storage area is divided into a first storage unit to a fourth storage unit (see FIG. 14A), and various random numbers are numbered in a storage unit in which random numbers are not stored. The data are stored in order starting from the smallest storage unit. Each storage unit is divided into regions for each stored random number (see FIG. 14B).

  In step S236, the main CPU 101a performs the first preliminary determination based on the game ball entering the first start port 6. Here, the first preliminary determination will be described.

That is, the main CPU 101a determines the first special figure fluctuation pattern as the first pre-determination before performing the special figure fluctuation pattern determination process (S313).

  In step S237, the main CPU 101a sets the first start opening winning designation command corresponding to the first special figure variation pattern determined in the first preliminary determination in the effect transmission data storage area (transmission buffer) of the main RAM 101c. .

  Next, the second start port detection signal input process will be described with reference to FIG. In step S241, the main CPU 101a determines whether or not there is a valid detection signal from the second start port detection sensor 7a. If the main CPU 101a determines that there is no valid detection signal, the main CPU 101a ends the process. If the main CPU 101a determines that there is a valid detection signal, the main CPU 101a moves the process to step S242.

  In step S242, the main CPU 101a updates the start opening prize ball counter by adding “1”, updates the second start opening entrance ball regulation counter by adding “1”, and updates the second start opening of the main RAM 101c. The second starting entrance ball flag is turned ON in the winning flag storage area. The second starting entrance counting rule counter counts the number of winnings to the second starting entrance 7 in one auxiliary game. This is because, in the present embodiment, the number of balls entering the second starting port 7 for a single auxiliary game is limited.

  In step S243, the main CPU 101a determines whether or not the counter value of the second special symbol reservation number counter for counting the second special symbol reservation number (U2) is smaller than 4 (upper limit value). If the main CPU 101a determines that the counter value (U2) is not smaller than 4, the main CPU 101a ends the process. If the main CPU 101a determines that the second special figure reservation number (U2) is smaller than 4, the process proceeds to step S244.

  In step S244, the main CPU 101a adds “1” to the counter value (U2) of the second special figure pending number counter and updates it. In step S244, the main CPU 101a updates the second special symbol hold number (U2) displayed on the second special symbol hold first display 64 to display special symbol hold display data indicating the hold number. It is set in a predetermined area of the main RAM 101c.

  In step S245, the main CPU 101a receives the special determination information including the random number values indicated by the jackpot determination random number counter, the special symbol determination random number counter, the reach determination random number counter, and the special pattern variation pattern determination random number counter as the second special information. Store in the symbol hold storage area.

  Note that the second special symbol storage area is divided into a first storage unit to a fourth storage unit (see FIG. 14A), and various random numbers are numbered in a storage unit in which random numbers are not stored. The data are stored in order starting from the smallest storage unit. Each storage unit is divided into regions for each stored random number (see FIG. 14B).

  And main CPU101a performs the 2nd prior determination based on the entrance into the 2nd starting port 7 in step S246. Here, the second prior determination will be described.

  Specifically, in the second prior determination, based on the jackpot determination random number, the special symbol determination random number, the reach determination random number, and the special figure variation pattern determination random number stored in the second special symbol hold storage area, A second special figure variation pattern is determined. That is, the main CPU 101a determines the second special figure fluctuation pattern as the second pre-determination before performing the special figure fluctuation pattern determination process (step S313).

  In step S247, the main CPU 101a sets the second start opening winning designation command corresponding to the second special figure variation pattern determined in the second pre-determination in the effect transmission data storage area (transmission buffer) of the main RAM 101c. .

  Next, the winning gate detection signal input process will be described with reference to FIG. In step S251, it is determined whether or not there is a valid detection signal from the winning gate detection sensors 9a and 10a. If the main CPU 101a determines that there is no valid detection signal, the main CPU 101a ends the process. If the main CPU 101a determines that there is a valid detection signal, the main CPU 101a moves the process to step S252.

  In step S252, the main CPU 101a determines whether or not the counter value of the normal symbol holding number counter for counting the number of normal symbol holdings (G) is smaller than 4 (upper limit value). If the main CPU 101a determines that the counter value (G) is not smaller than 4, the main CPU 101a ends the process. If the main CPU 101a determines that the counter value (G) is smaller than 4, the main CPU 101a moves the process to step S253.

  In step S 253, the main CPU 101 a adds “1” to the counter value (G) of the usual figure holding number counter and updates it. Further, in step S253, the main CPU 101a updates the normal symbol hold number (G) displayed on the normal symbol hold first display 65 in order to update the normal symbol hold display data indicating the hold number in the main RAM 101c. Set to area.

  In step S254, the main CPU 101a stores the random numbers indicated by the hit determination random number counter, the normal symbol determination random number counter, and the normal variation pattern determination random number counter in the normal symbol holding storage area, and performs the winning gate detection signal input process. Exit.

  The normal symbol holding storage area is divided into a first storage unit to a fourth storage unit (see FIG. 14C), and various random numbers are stored in a storage unit having a small number among storage units in which no random number is stored. It is memorized in order. Each storage unit is divided into regions for each stored random number (see FIG. 14D).

  Next, the special figure special electric control process will be described with reference to FIG. In step S301, the value of the special figure special electricity processing data is loaded, and the branch address is referred to from the special figure special electric treatment data loaded in step S302. If special figure special electric treatment data = 0, the special symbol memory determination process (step S310). If the special symbol special power processing data = 1, the processing shifts to the special symbol variation processing (step S320). If the special symbol special power processing data = 2, the processing shifts to the special symbol stop processing (step S330). If special figure special electric processing data = 3, the process shifts to jackpot game processing (step S340), and if special figure special electric processing data = 4, the process moves to small hit game processing (step S350). If data = 5, the process goes to the jackpot game end process (step S360). Details will be described later with reference to FIGS.

  Next, the special symbol memory determination process will be described with reference to FIG. First, in step S310-1, the main CPU 101a determines whether or not the special symbol is being variably displayed. If the main CPU 101a determines that the special symbol variation display is in progress, the main CPU 101a ends the process.

  In step S310-2, the main CPU 101a determines whether or not the second special figure holding number (U2) is 1 or more. If it is determined that the second special figure hold number (U2) is not 1 or more, the process proceeds to step S310-4. If it is determined that the second special figure hold number (U2) is 1 or more, the process proceeds to step S310-3. Move processing.

  In step S310-3, the main CPU 101a updates the counter value of the second special symbol hold count counter by subtracting “1”, and in step S310-6, the data stored in the second special symbol hold storage area is shifted. Processing is performed, and each data stored in the first storage unit to the fourth storage unit is shifted to the previous storage unit.

  For example, the data stored in the fourth storage unit of the second special symbol reservation storage area is shifted to the third storage unit of the second special symbol reservation storage area. The data stored in the first storage unit of the second special symbol storage area is shifted to the special symbol common storage area (the 0th storage unit) common to the first special symbol and the second special symbol. The data stored in the 0 storage unit is deleted. Thereby, the jackpot determination random number value, the special symbol determination random number value, the reach determination random number, and the special symbol variation pattern determination random value used in the previous game are deleted. Furthermore, the stop symbol data and game condition data used in the previous game are also erased from the corresponding storage areas.

  On the other hand, in step S310-4, the main CPU 101a determines whether or not the first special figure hold number (U1) is 1 or more. If the main CPU 101a determines in step S310-4 that the first special figure hold number (U1) is 1 or more, the main CPU 101a moves the process to step S310-5.

  The main CPU 101a updates the counter value of the first special symbol reservation number counter by subtracting “1” in step S310-5, and in step S310-6, shifts the data stored in the first special symbol reservation storage area. I do.

  For example, data stored in the fourth storage unit of the first special symbol reservation storage area is shifted to the third storage unit of the first special symbol reservation storage area. In addition, the data stored in the first storage unit of the first special symbol holding storage area is shifted to the special symbol storage area (the 0th storage unit), and the data stored in the 0th storage unit is erased. Is done. Thereby, the jackpot determination random number value, the special symbol determination random number value, the reach determination random number, and the special symbol variation pattern determination random value used in the previous game are deleted. Furthermore, the stop symbol data and game condition data used in the previous game are also erased from the corresponding storage areas.

  In addition, in order to update the 1st special figure reservation number (U1) or the 2nd special figure reservation number (U2) with the data shift process (the suspension digestion process) in step S310-6, specifically, Sets the first and second special symbol hold display data in a predetermined area of the main RAM 101c in order to change the display contents of the special symbol hold display devices 23 and 24 corresponding to the type of the start port related to the data. The hold display data includes information on the type of the special symbol hold display device and information on the special symbol hold number (U1 or U2).

  In the present embodiment, the second special symbol reserved storage area is shifted in priority to the first special symbol reserved storage area in steps S310-2 to S310-6. The first special symbol reserved storage area or the second special symbol reserved storage area may be shifted in the order of entering, or the first special symbol reserved storage area is shifted with priority over the second special symbol reserved storage area. You may let them.

  In Step S310-4, when it is determined that the first special symbol hold number (U1) is not 1 or more, the processing is shifted to the customer waiting state setting processing in Step S319-1 to Step S319-3. First, in step S319-1, the main CPU 101a determines whether or not the demonstration determination flag “01H” is set in the demonstration determination flag storage area. When the demonstration determination flag “01H” is set in the demonstration determination flag storage area, the special symbol storage determination process is terminated, and when the demonstration determination flag “01H” is not set in the demonstration determination flag storage area. The process moves to step S319-2.

  In step S319-2, the main CPU 101a sets the demo determination flag “01H” in the demo determination flag storage area so that the demo designation command is not set many times in step S319-3 described later.

  In step S319-3, the main CPU 101a sets a demonstration designation command in the effect transmission data storage area, and ends the special symbol memory determination process.

  In step S311, the main CPU 101a executes jackpot determination processing based on the data shifted in step S310-6 and newly stored in the 0th storage unit.

  Here, the jackpot determination process will be described with reference to FIG. First, in step S311-1, the main CPU 101a determines whether the jackpot determination process is performed based on a game ball entering the first start port 6.

  If the main CPU 101a determines in step S311-1 that it is the first start port 6, the first special symbol jackpot determination table is selected in step S311-2. On the other hand, if the main CPU 101a determines that it is not the first start port 6 (is the second start port 7) in step S311-1, the second special symbol jackpot determination table is selected in step S311-3.

  Next, in step S311-4, the main CPU 101a determines whether or not a flag is turned on in the high probability flag storage area. Here, the fact that the flag is turned on in the high-probability flag storage area means that the current jackpot winning probability is a high-probability gaming state.

  If the main CPU 101a determines in step S311-4 that the flag is ON in the high probability flag storage area, in step S311-5, the main CPU 101a further selects “from the table selected in step S311-2 or step S311-3”. The “first high probability jackpot determination table” or the “second high probability jackpot determination table” is selected.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 101a determines that the flag is not turned on in the high probability flag storage area, in step S311-6, the “first low probability” is further selected from the table selected in step S311-2 or step S311-3. “Big jackpot determination table” or “Second low probability jackpot determination table” is selected.

  In step S311-7, the main CPU 101a shifts the jackpot determination random number in the 0th storage unit after being shifted in step S310-6 to the “high probability jackpot selected in step S311-5 or step S311-6”. It is compared with the “decision table” or the “low-probability jackpot determination table” to determine whether it is “big jackpot”, “small jackpot”, or “losing”, and the jackpot determination process ends.

  When the big hit determination process ends, the main CPU 101a returns to the special symbol storage determination process shown in FIG. 22, and performs the special symbol determination process in step S312. In the special symbol determination process, a special symbol to be stopped and displayed on the first special symbol first display 60 and the second special symbol first display 61 is determined based on the result of the jackpot determination process.

Here, the special symbol determination process will be described with reference to FIG.
First, in step S312-1, the main CPU 101a determines whether or not the result of the jackpot determination is “jackpot”. If it is determined that the game is a “hit”, the main CPU 101a selects a special symbol determination table for winning a jackpot in step S312-3. The process is moved to 2.

  In step S312-2, the main CPU 101a determines whether or not the result of the jackpot determination is “small jackpot”. If it is determined that the “small hit” is determined, the main CPU 101a shifts the process to step S312-4. If the main CPU 101a does not determine “small hit”, the main CPU 101a shifts the process to step S312-5.

  In step S312-3, the main CPU 101a confirms the start port related to the processing based on the flag turned on in the start port winning flag storage area (the first start port 6 or the second start port 7), and the above step. The special symbol determination random number value shifted in S310-6 and stored in the 0th storage unit is compared with the special symbol determination value of the special symbol determination table for winning the jackpot (FIG. 5 (a)). The special symbol to be determined is determined.

  In step S312-4, the main CPU 101a confirms the start port related to the process based on the flag turned on in the start port prize flag storage area (first start port 6), and is shifted in step S310-6. The special symbol for determining the small hit special symbol by comparing the random number for determining the special symbol in the 0th storage unit with the special symbol determination value in the special symbol determination table for winning a small bonus (FIG. 5B). Make a decision.

  In step S312-5, the main CPU 101a confirms the start port related to the processing based on the flag turned on in the start port winning flag storage area (first start port 6 or second start port 7), and the above step. The special symbol determination random number value shifted in S310-6 and stored in the 0th storage unit is compared with the special symbol determination value of the special symbol determination table for loss (FIG. 5B) to determine the special symbol for loss. Perform special symbol determination.

  In step S312-6, a special effect symbol designating command is determined based on the result of the special symbol determination in steps S312-3, S312-4, and S312-5, and the determined special effect symbol designating command is effected. Set in the transmission data storage area.

  Next, in step S312-7, the main CPU 101a determines stop symbol data related to the special symbol (hereinafter referred to as “special symbol stop” based on the result of the special symbol determination in step S312-3, step S312-4, and step S312-5. In other words, the special symbol type is determined, and the determined special symbol stop symbol data is set in a predetermined area of the main RAM 101c.

  As will be described later, when the special figure change pattern is determined in the special figure fluctuation pattern determination process of FIG. When determining “special symbol” or the like, it is also used when determining the opening / closing mode of the big winning opening 8 in the big hit game process of FIG. 28 or the small hit game process of FIG.

  In step S312-8, the main CPU 101a compares the special figure stop symbol data with the game condition data determination table, sets the game condition data, and ends the special symbol determination process. Specifically, the main CPU 101a confirms the high probability flag storage area, and selects a game condition data determination table corresponding to the current state of the jackpot winning probability. Next, the special condition stop symbol data is collated with the selected game condition data determination table to determine the game condition data and store it in the game condition data storage area of the main RAM 101c.

  When the special symbol determination process is completed as described above, the main CPU 101a returns to the special symbol memory determination process shown in FIG. 22, and performs a special symbol variation pattern determination process in step S313. In the special figure variation pattern determination process, based on the result of the jackpot determination, the result of the special symbol determination, and the result of the reach determination, the time required for the variation display of the special symbol (hereinafter referred to as “special symbol variation time”) and A special-figure variation pattern including information related to an effect type or the like of a variation effect described later is determined.

Next, the special figure variation pattern determination process will be described with reference to FIG.
First, in step S313-1, the main CPU 101a refers to ON / OFF of the high probability flag and ON / OFF of the short time flag in the game condition determination table of FIG. Gaming state or low-probability gaming state, short-time gaming state or non-short-time gaming state).

  In step S313-2, if the gaming state confirmed in step S313-1 is the high-probability gaming state and the short-time gaming state, the main CPU 101a moves the process to step S313-3, and other than the high-probability gaming state and the short-time gaming state. If it is a gaming state, the process proceeds to step S313-4.

  In step S313-3, in the high probability gaming state and the short-time gaming state, the main CPU 101a changes the number of times of the variation display of the special symbol to be started (from 1 to 30 times, from 31 times to 74 times, from 75 times to 84 times). Confirm).

  In step S313-4, the main CPU 101a determines that the gaming state confirmed in step S313-1 or the gaming state confirmed in step S313-1 is a high-probability gaming state and a short-time gaming state (in step S313-2). YES), the special figure fluctuation pattern determination table is selected according to the number of fluctuations of the special symbol fluctuation display confirmed in step S313-3.

  In step S313-5, the main CPU 101a confirms the special figure stop symbol data stored in the main RAM 101c.

  In addition, when the special symbol stop symbol data is “18H” or “28H”, that is, when the result of the special symbol lottery is “losing”, the main CPU 101a further performs the special symbol related to the special symbol variation pattern determination process. Check the number of holds (U1 or U2). Then, the main CPU 101a acquires the reach determination random number, compares it with the reach determination random number value (0 to 99) corresponding to the confirmed special figure hold number (U1 or U2), and the special chart of “no reach loss”. It is determined whether it is a fluctuation pattern or a special figure fluctuation pattern of “losing with reach”.

  In step S313-6, the main CPU 101a performs special figure variation pattern determination. Specifically, the main CPU 101a acquires a special figure variation pattern determination random number, and acquires the acquired special figure variation pattern determination random number and a determination value (0 to 255) stored in the special diagram variation pattern determination table. Collate and determine the special figure fluctuation pattern.

When the special CPU variation pattern is determined, the main CPU 101a returns to the special symbol memory determination process shown in FIG. 22, and in step S310-7, a special graphic variation pattern designation command corresponding to the special graphic variation pattern is transmitted for production in the main RAM 101c. Set in the data storage area.
The special figure variation pattern designation command is transmitted to the production control board 102. Upon receiving this command, the production control board 102 recognizes that the special symbol fluctuation display starts, and finally designates the special figure fluctuation pattern designation. Based on the command, the variation effect pattern associated with the content of the variation effect is determined.

  In step S310-8, the main CPU 101a confirms the state of the gaming condition at the start of the variable symbol display of the special symbol, and sets a gaming state designation command reflecting the state in the effect transmission data storage area of the main RAM 101c. .

  In step S310-9, the main CPU 101a sets the special figure change time (see FIGS. 9 to 12) associated with the special figure change pattern in the special game timer counter. The special game timer counter is subtracted every 4 ms in step S110.

  In step S310-10, the main CPU 101a sets special symbol variation display data for performing variation display of the special symbol on the first special symbol first display 60 or the second special symbol first display 61. The special symbol variation display data includes information such as the type of the special symbol display device to be operated, the variation display mode, and the variation time.

  In step S310-11, the main CPU 101a sets the flag “00H” in the demonstration determination flag storage area, that is, clears the demonstration determination flag storage area, and sets special figure special electric processing data = 1 in step S310-12. Then, the special symbol memory determination process ends.

Next, the special symbol variation process will be described with reference to FIG.
In step S320-1, the main CPU 101a determines whether or not the special symbol variation display in step S310-9 ends, in other words, whether or not the set special symbol variation time has elapsed (special game timer counter = 0?). As a result, if it is determined that the special symbol variation display does not end, the special symbol variation processing is terminated, and the next subroutine is executed.

  If the main CPU 101a determines that the variation display of the special symbol is finished, in step S320-2, the main CPU 101a produces a special effect symbol stop designation command to notify the effect control board 102 that the variation display of the special symbol is terminated. Set in the transmission data storage area.

  In step S320-3, the main CPU 101a displays the special symbol set in step S312-13 to stop and display the special symbol on the first special symbol first display 60 and the second special symbol first indicator 61. The special figure stop display data is set based on the stop symbol data. Thereby, the result of the special symbol lottery is notified to the player.

  In step S320-4, the main CPU 101a sets the time required for the special symbol stop display (hereinafter referred to as "special figure stop time", for example, 0.8 seconds) to the special game timer counter. The special game timer counter is subtracted every 4 ms in step S110.

  In step S320-5, the main CPU 101a sets 2 to the special figure special electricity processing data.

  In step S320-6, the main CPU 101a turns off the first starting port winning flag or the second starting port winning flag, and ends the special symbol variation process.

Next, the special symbol stop process will be described with reference to FIG.
In step S330-1, the main CPU 101a determines whether or not the special symbol stop display ends, in other words, whether or not the special figure stop time set in the special game timer counter in step S320-4 has elapsed ( Special game timer counter = 0?). As a result, if the main CPU 101a determines that the special symbol stop display does not end, the main CPU 101a ends the special symbol stop processing. If the main CPU 101a determines that the special symbol stop display ends, the process proceeds to step S330-2. Move processing.

  In step S330-2, the main CPU 101a determines whether or not a flag is turned on in the hourly flag storage area. The fact that the flag is ON in the time-short flag storage area means that the current state is the time-short game state. If the flag is turned on in the time reduction flag storage area, the process proceeds to step S330-3. If the flag is turned off in the time reduction flag storage area, the process proceeds to step S330-6.

  In step S330-3, the main CPU 101a calculates “1” from the counter value of the remaining number counter in the short time gaming state indicating the remaining number of times the special symbol change display according to the short time gaming state (J: hereinafter referred to as “the remaining number of short time gaming states”). The operation value (J-1) obtained by subtracting "is stored as the remaining time-saving gaming state count (J).

  In step S330-4, the main CPU 101a determines whether or not the remaining time-saving gaming state count (J) = 0. If the remaining time-saving gaming state (J) = 0, the process proceeds to step S330-5. If the remaining time-short gaming state remaining number (J) = 0, the process proceeds to step S330-6.

  In step S330-5, the main CPU 101a turns off the flag stored in the time reduction flag storage area. It should be noted that the fact that the short time gaming state remaining number (J) is “0” means that the special symbol is displayed in a variable number of times (Ja) in the short time gaming state. Means to end.

  In step S330-6, the main CPU 101a determines whether or not a flag is turned on in the high probability flag storage area. The fact that the flag is turned on in the high probability flag storage area means that the current state is a high probability gaming state. If the flag is ON in the high probability flag storage area, the process proceeds to step S330-7. If the flag is OFF in the high probability flag storage area, the process proceeds to step S330-10.

  In step S330-7, the main CPU 101a displays the counter value of the high-probability gaming state remaining number counter indicating the remaining number of times of display of the special symbol variation display according to the high-probability gaming state (X: hereinafter referred to as “the remaining number of high-probability gaming states”). The operation value (X−1) obtained by subtracting “1” from the value is stored as a new high probability gaming state remaining number (X).

  In step S330-8, the main CPU 101a determines whether or not the high probability gaming state remaining count (X) = 0. If the high probability gaming state remaining number (X) = 0, the process proceeds to step S330-9. If the high probability gaming state remaining number (X) = 0 is not satisfied, the process proceeds to step S330-10.

  In step S330-9, the main CPU 101a turns off the flag stored in the high probability flag storage area. Note that the high probability gaming state remaining count (X) is “0” means that the special symbol is displayed in a variable number of executable times (Xa) in the high probability gaming state, and the special symbol based on the “high probability” state. This means that the fluctuation display of is finished.

  In step S330-10, the main CPU 101a confirms the state of the current gaming condition, and sets a gaming state designation command indicating the gaming state in the effect transmission data storage area.

  In step S330-11, the main CPU 101a determines whether or not the determination result of the jackpot determination related to the special symbol stop process is “jackpot”. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the special symbol stop symbol data stored in the special symbol stop symbol data storage area relates to the jackpot special symbol (special symbol stop symbol data = 10 to 12, 20 to 21). To do. If it is determined that the jackpot special symbol is determined, the process proceeds to step S330-14. If the jackpot special symbol is not determined, the process proceeds to step S330-12.

  In step S330-12, the main CPU 101a determines whether or not the determination result of the big hit determination related to the special symbol stop process is “small hit”. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the special symbol stop symbol data stored in the special symbol stop symbol data storage area relates to the small hit special symbol (special symbol stop symbol data = 16 to 17). Here, when it is determined that the symbol is a small hit special symbol, the process proceeds to step S330-17, and when it is not determined that the symbol is a small hit special symbol, the process proceeds to step S330-13.

  In step S330-13, the main CPU 101a sets 0 to the special symbol special electric processing data, and shifts the processing to the special symbol memory determination processing shown in FIG.

  In step S330-14, the main CPU 101a sets 3 to the special figure special electricity processing data.

  In step S330-15, the main CPU 101a resets the game condition flag storage area (time-short flag storage area and high-probability flag storage area), the remaining variation count counter for the high-probability gaming state, and the remaining variation count counter for the time-short gaming state. To do.

  In step S330-16, the main CPU 101a sets an opening designation command corresponding to the special figure stop symbol data in the effect transmission data storage area. Next, the main CPU 101a sets the opening time corresponding to the special figure stop symbol data in the special game timer counter. The special game timer counter is subtracted every 4 ms in step S110.

  In step S330-17, the main CPU 101a sets 4 in the special figure special electricity processing data, and moves the process to step S330-16.

Next, the jackpot game process will be described with reference to FIG.
In step S340-1, the main CPU 101a determines whether or not it is currently opening. The term “opening” as used herein refers to a period from the start of the jackpot game to the start of the first round game (first opening of the big winning opening 8). If it is determined that the current opening is being performed, the process proceeds to step S340-2. If it is determined that the current opening is not currently performed, the process proceeds to S340-6.

  In step S340-2, the main CPU 101a determines whether or not a preset opening time has elapsed. That is, it is determined whether or not the special game timer counter = 0, and if the special game timer counter = 0, it is determined that the opening time has elapsed. As a result, if the set opening time has not elapsed, the jackpot game process is terminated, the next subroutine is executed, and if the opening time has elapsed, the process proceeds to step S340-3. .

  In step S340-3, the main CPU 101a performs a jackpot game start process. Specifically, according to the special figure stop symbol data, which jackpot is confirmed, a jackpot opening / closing control table corresponding to the jackpot type is selected and set in a predetermined area of the main RAM 101c. Specifically, the long winning game winning prize opening / closing control table or the short winning game winning prize opening / closing control table is set in a predetermined area of the main RAM 101c in accordance with the special figure stop symbol data. Next, the main CPU 101a adds “1” to the value (round number (R)) stored in the round game number storage area and stores the value. Since the round game has not been executed at the time of step S340-3, the main CPU 101a stores “1” in the round game count storage area.

  In step S340-4, the main CPU 101a performs a special prize opening process. Specifically, “1” is added to the value stored in the special electric operation number storage area (special electric operation number (K)) and stored. The main CPU 101a sets the big prize opening / closing solenoid energization start data in a predetermined area of the main RAM 101c in order to energize the big prize opening / closing solenoid 80B and open the big prize opening 8. Here, the main CPU 101a refers to the special winning opening / closing control table determined in step S340-3, and based on the round number (R) and the special operation number (K), the opening time of the special winning opening 8 ( The operating time of the big prize opening control device 80) is set in the special game timer counter. The special game timer counter is subtracted every 4 ms in step S110.

  In step S340-5, the main CPU 101a performs a round designation command transmission determination process. Specifically, it is determined whether or not K = 1. If K = 1, a round designation command is set in the effect transmission data storage area. This is because information indicating that the round game starts is transmitted to the effect control board 102. For example, at the time of the first release of the first round game per long game, “1” is set in the round game number storage area and “1” is set in the special operation number storage area. A round designation command indicating one round game is set in the effect transmission data storage area. On the other hand, if “1” is not set in the special operation number storage area, the big hit game process is terminated without setting the round designation command in the effect transmission data storage area. That is, since the case where K = 1 means the start of a round game, the main CPU 101a transmits a round designation command only at the start of the round. When the effect control board 102 receives the round designation command, an effect display is performed on the image display device 14 such as “ROUND1”.

  In step S340-6, the main CPU 101a determines whether or not it is currently ending. Ending here refers to the period from the end of all preset round games (after the final opening of the big winning opening 8 is completed) to the end of the jackpot game. Therefore, if it is determined that the current ending is in progress, the process proceeds to step S340-17, where it is determined whether or not the ending time has elapsed, and if it is determined that the current ending is not currently in progress, step S340-7 is performed. Move processing to.

  In step S340-7, the main CPU 101a determines whether or not the big prize opening 8 is open, that is, whether or not the big prize opening control device 80 is in operation. If the main CPU 101a determines that the big prize opening 8 is being opened, it determines in step S340-8 whether or not an “opening end condition” for ending the opening of the big prize opening 8 is satisfied. To do. As the “opening end condition”, the counter value of the round winning counter has reached a specified number (for example, 9) in the round game, or the maximum open time has elapsed (special game timer counter = 0) ) Is adopted. If it is determined that the “opening end condition” is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S340-9. If it is determined that the “opening end condition” is not satisfied, the jackpot game process is ended.

  In step S340-9, the main CPU 101a performs a special winning opening closing process. In the special winning opening closing process, the energization stop data of the special winning opening / closing solenoid 80B is set in a predetermined area of the sub RAM 102c in order to close the special winning opening 8, and the opening / closing of the special winning opening determined in step S340-3 is performed. Referring to the control table, based on the current round number (R) and special operation number (K), the closing time of the special winning opening 8 is set in the special game timer counter. As a result, the special winning opening 8 is closed.

  In step S340-10, the main CPU 101a determines whether or not one round game has ended. Specifically, in one round game, the special electric operation number (K) is the number of times of opening set in the round game, or the counter value (C) of the round winning counter is a specified number (for example, 9) ) Is terminated on the condition that it has been reached, it is determined whether or not such a condition is satisfied. If it is determined that one round game has been completed, the process proceeds to step S340-12. If it is determined that one round has not been completed, the jackpot game process is ended.

  In step S340-7, if the main CPU 101a determines that the special winning openings 8 and 9 are not open, the main CPU 101a determines in step S340-11 whether or not a preset closing time has elapsed. As a result, if the closing time has not elapsed, the jackpot game process is terminated, and if the closing time has elapsed, the process proceeds to step S340-4.

  In step S340-12, the main CPU 101a performs a reset process. Specifically, the special electricity operation number storage area is cleared and the counter value of the round winning counter is cleared.

  In step S340-13, the main CPU 101a determines whether or not the value (round number (R)) stored in the round game number storage area is the number of round games executed in the jackpot game. When determining “Yes”, the main CPU 101a moves the process to step S340-15, and when determining “No”, the main CPU 101a moves the process to step S340-14.

  In step S340-14, the main CPU 101a adds "1" to the current round number (R) stored in the round game number storage area and stores the result.

  In step S340-15, the main CPU 101a performs jackpot game end processing. Specifically, the round number (R) stored in the round game number storage area is reset.

  In step S340-16, the main CPU 101a performs an ending process. Specifically, according to the special figure stop symbol data, the type of jackpot is confirmed, and an ending designation command associated with the type of jackpot transmitted to the effect control board 102 is set in the effect transmission data storage area. Next, the main CPU 101a sets an ending time corresponding to the type of jackpot in the special game timer counter.

  In step S340-17, the main CPU 101a determines whether or not the set ending time has elapsed. If it is determined that the ending time has elapsed, the main CPU 101a proceeds to step S340-18 and passes the ending time. If it is determined that it is not, the jackpot game process is terminated as it is.

  In step S340-18, the main CPU 101a sets 5 to the special figure special electric processing data, and moves the processing to the jackpot game end process shown in FIG.

  Next, the small hit game processing will be described with reference to FIG. First, in step S350-1, the main CPU 101a determines whether or not it is currently open. If it is determined that it is currently opening, the process proceeds to step S350-2. If it is determined that it is not currently opening, the process proceeds to S350-5.

  In step S350-2, the main CPU 101a determines whether or not a preset opening time has elapsed. That is, it is determined whether or not the special game timer counter = 0, and when the special game timer counter = 0, it is determined that the opening time has elapsed. As a result, if the opening time has not elapsed, the small hit game process is terminated, and if the opening time has elapsed, the process proceeds to step S350-3.

  In step S350-3, the main CPU 101a performs a small hit game start process. Specifically, the main CPU 101a selects a big winning opening opening / closing control table corresponding to the type of the small hit based on the special figure stop symbol data, and determines the big winning opening opening / closing control table for the small hit game.

  In step S350-4, the main CPU 101a performs a special winning opening opening process. In the big prize opening process, first, “1” is added to the value stored in the special operation number storage area (special operation number (K)) and stored. Then, energization start data of the special prize opening / closing solenoid 80B is set in order to open the special prize opening 8, and the current special electric operation is performed with reference to the special prize opening / closing control table determined in step S350-3. The opening time of the special winning opening 8 based on the number (K) is set in the special game timer counter, and the small hit game is ended.

  In step S350-5, the main CPU 101a determines whether or not it is currently ending. Ending here means the period from the end of opening of the last big winning opening 8 to the end of the small hit game. Therefore, the main CPU 101a moves the process to step S350-13 when it is determined that it is currently ending, and moves to step S350-6 when it is determined that it is not currently ending.

  In step S350-6, the main CPU 101a determines whether or not the special winning opening 8 is being opened. If the main CPU 101a determines that the big prize opening 8 is not open, the main CPU 101a moves the process to step S350-10, and if the main CPU 101a determines that the big prize opening 8 is open, in step S350-7. Then, it is determined whether or not an “opening end condition” for ending the opening of the special winning opening 8 is satisfied. As the “opening end condition”, the counter value (C) of the round winning counter has reached a specified number (for example, nine), or the opening time of one time of the big winning opening 8 has passed (special game timer counter = 0) is adopted. If the main CPU 101a determines that the “opening end condition” is satisfied, the main CPU 101a proceeds to step S350-8, and if it determines that the “opening end condition” is not satisfied, the main CPU 101a ends the small hit game process. To do.

  In step S350-8, the main CPU 101a performs a special winning opening closing process. In the big prize opening closing process, the energization stop data of the big prize opening / closing solenoid 80B is set to close the big prize opening 8, and the big prize opening / closing control table determined in step S350-3 is referred to. Based on the current special operation number (K), the closing time of the special winning opening 8 is set in the special game timer counter. As a result, the special winning opening 8 is closed.

  In step S350-9, the main CPU 101a determines whether or not the small hit game ending condition is satisfied. The small hit game ending condition is that the special winning action number (K) is set to the number of times the special winning opening 8 is set in advance, or the counter value (C) of the round winning counter is a specified number (for example, 9). It has been reached. When the main CPU 101a determines that the small hit game end condition is satisfied, the main CPU 101a shifts the process to step S350-11. When the main CPU 101a determines that the small hit game end condition is not satisfied, the main hit game process. Exit.

  In step S350-11, the main CPU 101a sets “0” to the special operation number storage area and sets “0” to the counter value (C) of the round winning counter as the small hit game ending process. That is, the special operation number storage area and the round winning counter are cleared.

  In step S350-12, the main CPU 101a sets an ending designation command according to the type of small hits in the effect transmission data storage area based on the special figure stop symbol data, and the ending time according to the type of small hits. Is set in the special game timer counter.

  In step S350-10, the main CPU 101a determines whether or not the closing time set in step S350-8 has elapsed. Note that the closing time is also determined by whether or not the special game timer counter = 0 as in the opening time.

(Main processing by production control board)
Next, processing executed by the sub CPU 102a in the effect control board 102 will be described.

  First, the main process of the effect control board 102 will be described with reference to FIG. When power is supplied from the power supply board 107 to the sub CPU 102a, a system reset occurs in the sub CPU 102a, and the sub CPU 102a performs the following main processing.

  In step S1001, the sub CPU 102a performs initialization processing. In this process, the sub CPU 102a reads the main processing program from the sub ROM 102b and initializes the sub RAM 102c in which flags, commands, and the like are stored.

  In step S <b> 1002, the sub CPU 102 a performs a process of updating the effect random number used for controlling the effect including the random effect determination random number, the variable effect pattern determination random number, the effect mode determination random number, and the like.

  Note that a random number counter is provided in the sub-RAM 102c for each of various random numbers constituting the production random number. In the effect random number update process, “1” is added to the random number counter provided for each type of random number. A random number range is provided for various random numbers constituting the production random number. The random number range is from “0” to the maximum value determined for the random number. Then, in the update of the random number, when the random value indicated by the random number counter is the maximum value in the random number range, the random number counter is returned to “0” without adding “1”.

  Further, the maximum value of the random number range is set to be different depending on the type of random number. This is to prevent the random number counter related to the production random number from being completely synchronized and always having the same random number value. Since it is only necessary to prevent the random number counter related to the production random number from being completely synchronized, different initial value random numbers are provided to the various production random numbers instead of making the maximum values of the various random number ranges different, When updating the random number, if the random value indicated by the random number counter is the maximum value in the random number range, each random value may be newly updated from the initial random number at that time.

(Timer interrupt processing by production control board)

  When the sub CPU 102a determines the variation effect pattern using the variation effect pattern determination table of FIG. 40, which of the special effect types set in the table of FIG. 45 is to be executed is shown in FIGS. 44 (a) and 44 (b). It is determined by lottery based on the execution ratio shown in the table.

  “Serif notice A1” is a display of an effect image of “Serif a1” “Ippin Senkinja!” On the image display device 14. In this “line notice A1”, the effect lever 19A is selected as an operation means in which the operation is effective during the operation effective period. In the operation effective period (for example, an operation effective period X11 described later), the operation of the effect lever 19A is performed. The operation promotion notification that prompts the user is executed. Then, based on the tilting operation being performed on the effect lever 19A during the operation valid period, an effect image (“Character a1”, which will be described later, says “Ichigo Senkinja!” As “Serif a1” ( 62 (see (a-1-4) in FIG. 62) is displayed on the image display device 14, and the third decorative member 17C is moved from the “standby position 3” to the “operation position 3” as a movable member. Perform the corresponding performance.

  “Serif notice A2” is a display of an effect image of “Serif a2” “Is it possible to acquire one hundred cars?” On the image display device 14. In this “line notice A2”, the effect button 18A is selected as an operation means that is effective during the operation effective period, and during the operation effective period (for example, the operation effective period X11 described later), the operation of the effect button 18A is performed. The operation promotion notification for prompting the user is executed, and the state of the effect button 18A remains in the non-projecting state. Then, based on the fact that the press button 18A is pressed once during the operation effective period, the effect that “Character a1”, which will be described later, says “Is it possible to acquire one hundred cars” as “Serif a1”? A corresponding effect such as displaying an image (see (b-1-4) in FIG. 63) on the image display device 14 is executed.

  “Serif notice A3” is the same as “Serif notice A2”, except that the effect image of “Serif a3” “Is it possible to acquire both?” Is displayed on the image display device 14.

  “Selif notice A4” does not set an operation valid period, and at a predetermined timing, except for displaying an effect image of “Serif a4” on the image display device 14 “Do you get one?” The contents of the production are the same.

  “Selif notice A5” does not set an operation valid period, and at a predetermined timing, except for displaying an effect image of “Serif a5” on the image display device 14 “Do you earn money”? The contents of the production are the same.

  In the tables of FIGS. 44A and 44B, in the “line notice A1”, the execution rate of the “line notice A1” is the lowest in the case of a loss, and in the case of a big hit, the “line notice A1”. Is the highest execution rate. That is, the expectation level (reliability) for the jackpot of “Serif notice A1” to “Serif notice A5” is highest in “Serif notice A1” and becomes lower as “Serif notice A2” to “Serif notice A5”. In “Selif Notice A”, the execution ratio of “Selif Notice A1” to “Selif Notice A5” is set.

  “Selif Notice A1” in which an operation promotion notification that prompts the operation of the effect lever 19A is executed, and “Selif Notice A2” to “Serif Notice A2 in which an operation promotion notification that prompts the operation of the effect button 18A is executed. It consists of notice A5 ". In the production mode A where the jackpot probability is 1/350, the ratio of lost is considerably higher than the ratio of jackpot etc., and when this is a loss, an operation promotion notification that prompts the operation of the production button 18A is executed. The execution rate of “Serif Notice A2” to “Serif Notice A5” is higher than the execution rate of “Serif Notice A1” in which the operation promotion notification that prompts the operation of the effect lever 19A is executed. Therefore, in the “Selif Notice” effect of the effect mode A in the low-probability gaming state and the non-short-time game state, the ratio of the operation promotion notification that prompts the operation of the effect button 18A is the operation that prompts the operation of the effect lever 19A. It is higher than the rate at which the promotion notification is executed. On the other hand, in the variation production of the production mode A, when the jackpot etc., the ratio of the “character notice A1” in which the operation promotion notification for urging the operation of the production lever 19A is executed is high. The effect of prompting the operation of the effect lever 19A is higher in the jackpot expectation (reliability) than the effect of prompting the operation of the effect button 18A.

  “Character notice A1” is to display the effect image of “Character a2-1” on the image display device 14. In this “character notice A1”, the effect lever 19A is selected as an operation means for which the operation is valid during the operation valid period, and the operation promotion notification is executed during the operation valid period (for example, the operation valid period Y11 described later). Not. Then, based on the tilting operation performed on the effect lever 19A during the operation effective period, an effect image (see (a-2-4) in FIG. 62) of “character a2-1” described later is displayed on the image display device. 14 is executed.

  “Character notice A2” is to display the effect image of “Character a2-2” on the image display device 14. In this “character notice A2”, the effect button 18A is selected as an operation means in which the operation is effective during the operation effective period, and the operation promotion notification is executed in the operation effective period (for example, the operation effective period Y11 described later). The effect button 18A remains in the non-projecting state. Then, an effect image of “Character a2-2” (see (b-2-4) in FIG. 63) described later is generated based on the single press operation on the effect button 18A during the operation effective period. A corresponding effect such as displaying on the image display device 14 is executed.

  “Character notice A3” is displayed in a manner other than “Character a2-2” (see (c-2-4) in FIG. 64) on the image display device 14 instead of “Character a2-2”. The content of the performance is the same as “Character notice A2”.

  “Character notice A4” does not set an operation valid period, and an effect image of “Character notice a2-4” (not shown) is displayed on the image display device 14 instead of “Character a2-2” at a predetermined timing. Except for the display, the content of the effect is the same as “Character notice A2”.

  “Character notice A5” does not set an operation valid period, and an effect image of “Character notice a2-5” (not shown) is displayed on the image display device 14 instead of “Character a2-2” at a predetermined timing. Except for the display, the content of the effect is the same as “Character notice A2”.

  In the tables of FIGS. 44A and 44B, in “Character notice A”, the execution rate of “Character notice A1” is the lowest in the case of a loss, and “Character notice A1” in the case of a loss in the case of a big hit. Is the highest execution rate. That is, the expectation (reliability) for the jackpot of “Character notice A1” to “Character notice A5” is highest in “Character notice A1” and decreases as “Character notice A2” to “Character notice A5”. , Execution ratios of “character notice A1” to “character notice A5” are set.

  “Character notice A” is based on “Character notice A1” for displaying the effect image of “Character a2-1” on the image display device 14 based on the tilting operation of the effect lever 19A, and on the pressing operation of the effect button 18A. “Character notice A2” to “Character notice A5” that display effect images of “Character a2-2” to “Character a2-5” on the image display device 14 are configured. When the ratio is higher than the big hit or the like, the ratio at which “character notice A2” to “character notice A5” in which the character image is displayed based on the pressing operation of the effect button 18A is executed is the effect lever. It is higher than the rate at which “character notice A1” in which a character image is displayed based on the tilting operation of 19A is executed. Therefore, in the “character notice A” effect of the effect mode A in the low-probability gaming state and the non-short-time game state, the proportion of the effect that the character image is displayed based on the operation of the effect button 18A is It is higher than the rate at which the effect that the character image is displayed based on the operation of 19A is executed. On the other hand, when it is a big hit or the like, the ratio of executing “character notice A1” in which the character image is displayed based on the tilting operation of the effect lever 19A is high, and based on the operation of the effect button 18A. The effect of displaying the character image based on the operation of the effect lever 19A has a higher jackpot expectation (reliability) than the effect of displaying the character image.

  “Development notice A1” is to display the effect image of “effect a1” on the image display device 14. In the “development notice A1”, the effect lever 19A is selected as an operation means in which the operation is effective during the operation effective period. In the operation effective period (for example, an operation effective period X12 described later), the operation of the effect lever 19A is performed. The operation promotion notification that prompts the user is executed. Then, an effect image of “effect a1” (see (a-3-4) in FIG. 62) is displayed on the image display device 14 based on the tilting operation performed on the effect lever 19A during the operation effective period. At the same time, a corresponding effect such as moving the second decorative member 17B as the movable member from “standby position 2” to “operation position 2” is executed.

  “Development notice A2” is to display the effect image of “effect a2” on the image display device 14. In this “development notice A2”, the effect button 18A is selected as an operation means for which the operation is effective during the operation effective period. In the operation effective period (for example, an operation effective period X12 described later), the operation of the effect button 18A is performed. The operation promotion notification for prompting the user is executed, and the state of the effect button 18A is set to the protruding state. Then, on the basis of the fact that the effect button 18A is pressed once during the operation effective period, the effect image of “effect a2” is displayed on the image display device 14 and the second decorative member 17B as a movable member. A corresponding effect such as moving “standby position 2” to “operation position 2” is executed.

  “Development notice A3” is produced as “Development notice A1” except that the effect image of “effect a3” (not shown) is displayed on the image display device 14 instead of “effect a1”, and the movable member is not operated. The contents are the same.

  “Development notice A4” is the same as “Development notice A2” except that the effect button 18A is set to the non-projecting state during the operation valid period.

  “Development notice A5” is produced as “Development notice A1” except that the effect image of “effect a2” (not shown) is displayed on the image display device 14 instead of “effect a1”, and the movable member is not operated. The contents are the same.

  “Development notice A6” makes the effect button 18A in a non-projecting state during the operation effective period, displays an effect image of “effect a3” (not shown) on the image display device 14 instead of “effect a2,” and moves the movable member. The content of the production is the same as “Development notice A2” except that is not operated.

  In the tables of FIGS. 44 (a) and 44 (b), the “development notice A1” has the highest degree of expectation (reliability) for the jackpots of “development notice A1” to “development notice A6” in “development notice A1”. The execution ratio of “development notice A1” to “development notice A6” is set so as to become lower as it becomes “development notice A2” to “development notice A6”.

  “Development notice A1” “Development notice A1” “Development notice A3” “Development notice A5” in which the operation promotion notification for urging the operation of the effect lever 19A is executed, and operation promotion notification for instructing the operation of the production button 18A are executed. "Development notice A2", "Development notice A4", and "Development notice A6". In the production mode A where the jackpot probability is 1/350, the ratio of lost is considerably higher than the ratio of jackpot etc., and when this is a loss, an operation promotion notification that prompts the operation of the production button 18A is executed. “Development notice A1”, “Development notice A3”, “Development notice A5” are executed when the execution ratio of “Development notice A2”, “Development notice A4”, and “Development notice A6” is executed to prompt the operation of the effect lever 19A. Is higher than the execution rate. Therefore, in the “development notice” effect in the effect mode A in the low-probability gaming state and the non-time-saving game state, the rate at which the operation promotion notification that prompts the operation of the effect button 18A is executed is the operation that prompts the operation of the effect lever 19A. It is higher than the rate at which the promotion notification is executed. On the other hand, in the variation production of the production mode A, when the jackpot or the like, the ratio of the operation promotion notification that prompts the operation of the production lever 19A is high, and the production that prompts the operation of the production button 18A. However, the direction that encourages the operation of the effect lever 19A has a higher expectation level (reliability).

  Also, in the tables of FIGS. 44A and 44B, in the variable production that develops from “super reach” to “special reach”, the production button 18A is projected at a high rate during the operation effective period. In the variable production that does not develop from “special reach”, the execution ratio of “development notice A1” to “development notice A6” is set so that the production button 18A is in a non-protruding state at a high rate during the operation valid period. ing.

  “Decision effect A1” moves the first decorative member 17A as a movable member and displays the effect image of “flash” on the image display device 14 (see (b-3-3) in FIG. 63). ). In this “determined effect A1”, the effect lever 19A is selected as an operation means in which the operation is effective during the operation effective period. In the operation effective period (for example, the operation effective period X22 described later), the operation of the effect lever 19A is performed. The operation promotion notification that prompts the user is executed. Then, based on the tilting operation performed on the effect lever 19A during the operation effective period, an effect image of “flash a1” is displayed on the image display device 14, and the first decorative member 17A is set to “standby position 1”. A corresponding effect such as moving to “operation position 1-2” is executed.

  “Decision effect A2” moves the first decorative member 17A as a movable member and displays an effect image of “flash a2” on the image display device 14 (see (b-3-3) in FIG. 63). ). In the “decided effect A2”, the effect button 18A is selected as an operation means in which the operation is effective during the operation effective period. In the operation effective period (for example, the operation effective period X22 described later), the operation of the effect button 18A is performed. The operation promotion notification for prompting the user is executed, and the state of the effect button 18A is set to the protruding state. Then, on the basis of the fact that the effect button 18A is pressed once during the operation valid period, the effect image “flash” a2 is displayed on the image display device 14 and the first decorative member 17A is set to “standby”. A corresponding effect such as moving from “position 1” to “operation position 1-2” is executed.

  In the tables of FIGS. 44 (a) and 44 (b), in “decided effect A”, the expectation (reliability) for the big hits of “decided effect A1” and “decided effect A2” is “decided” than “decided effect A2”. The execution ratio of “decided effect A1” and “decided effect A2” is set so that “effect A1” is higher. That is, the “decision effect A1” is determined at a higher rate when the determination result of the jackpot determination is a win (first to third jackpots, a small hit) than when the determination result of the jackpot determination is a loss. The

  The “decision effect A” is composed of “decision effect A1” in which an operation promotion notification that prompts the operation of the effect lever 19A is executed, and “decision effect A2” in which an operation promotion notification that prompts the operation of the effect button 18A is executed. Is done. In the production mode A where the jackpot probability is 1/350, the ratio of lost is considerably higher than the ratio of jackpot etc., and when this is a loss, an operation promotion notification that prompts the operation of the production button 18A is executed. The execution ratio of “decided effect A2” is higher than the execution ratio of “decided effect A1” in which the operation promotion notification that prompts the operation of the effect lever 19A is executed. Therefore, in the “decided effect” of the effect mode A that is the low-probability gaming state and the non-temporal gaming state, the operation promotion notification that prompts the operation of the effect button 18A is executed, and the operation promotion that prompts the operation of the effect lever 19A. It is higher than the rate at which notification is executed. On the other hand, in the “decided effect” of the effect mode A, when the jackpot is given, the ratio of executing the operation promotion notification that prompts the operation of the effect lever 19A is high, and the operation of the effect button 18A is prompted. The effect of prompting the operation of the effect lever 19A is higher than the effect, and the expectation degree of jackpot (reliability) is higher.

In the production mode C that is a high-probability gaming state in which the loss probability is 1 / 1.02 and the short-time gaming state, the proportion of loss is considerably higher than the proportion of jackpot etc. The execution rate of “development effect C2” in which the operation promotion notification for prompting the operation of 19A is executed is higher than the execution rate of “development effect C1” in which the operation promotion notification for prompting the operation of the effect button 18A is executed. Therefore, in the “development effect” of the effect mode C that is the high-probability gaming state and the short-time game state, the operation promotion notification that prompts the operation of the effect button 18A is performed at a rate that the operation promotion notification that prompts the operation of the effect lever 19A is executed. Is higher than the rate at which it is executed. On the other hand, in the “development notice” of the production mode C, when the jackpot is given, the ratio of the operation promotion notification that prompts the operation of the production button 18A is high, and the operation of the production lever 19A is urged. The effect of prompting the operation of the effect button 18A is higher than the effect of the jackpot expectation (reliability).

  “Decision effect C1” moves the first decorative member 17A as a movable member and displays an effect image of “flash c1” on the image display device 14 (see (g-3-4) in FIG. 69). ). In this “determined effect C1”, the effect button 18A is selected as an operation means in which the operation is effective during the operation effective period. In the operation effective period (for example, an operation effective period X72 described later), the operation of the effect button 18A is performed. The operation promotion notification for prompting the user is executed (see (g-3-2) in FIG. 69). Then, based on one press operation on the effect button 18A during the operation effective period, the effect image of “flash c1” is displayed on the image display device 14, and the first decorative member 17A is displayed on the “standby position 1”. To the “operation position 1-2” is executed.

  “Decision effect C2” moves the first decorative member 17A as a movable member and displays an effect image of “flash c2” on the image display device 14 (see (g-3-4) in FIG. 69). ). In the “decision effect C2”, the effect lever 19A is selected as an operation means in which the operation is effective during the operation effective period. In the operation effective period (for example, an operation effective period X52 described later), the operation of the effect lever 19A is performed. The operation promotion notification for prompting is executed (see (g-3-3) in FIG. 69). Then, based on the tilting operation performed on the effect lever 19A during the operation effective period, an effect image of “flash c2” is displayed on the image display device 14, and the first decorative member 17A is moved from “standby position 1” to “ A corresponding effect such as moving to the operation position 1-2 ”is executed.

  In the tables of FIGS. 48A and 48B, in “decision effect C”, the expectation (reliability) for the big hits of “decision effect C1” and “decision effect C2” is “determined” than “decision effect C1”. The execution ratio of “decision effect C1” and “decision effect C2” is set so that “effect C2” is higher. That is, the “decision effect B1” is determined at a higher rate when the determination result of the jackpot determination is a win (first to third jackpots, a small hit) than when the determination result of the jackpot determination is a loss. The

  The “decision effect C” is composed of “decision effect C1” in which an operation promotion notification that prompts the operation of the effect button 18A is executed, and “decision effect C2” in which an operation promotion notification that prompts the operation of the effect lever 19A is executed. Is done. Then, in the production mode C that is the high-probability gaming state and the short-time gaming state, when the game is lost, the execution rate of the “decision production C2” in which the operation promotion notification that prompts the operation of the production lever 19A is executed is the production button 18A. It is higher than the execution ratio of “decision effect C1” in which the operation promotion notification for prompting the user is executed. Therefore, in the “decision effect” of the effect mode C that is the high-probability gaming state and the short-time game state, the operation promotion notification that prompts the operation of the effect button 18A is performed at a ratio that the operation promotion notification that prompts the operation of the effect lever 19A is executed. Is higher than the rate at which it is executed. On the other hand, in the case of a big hit or the like, in the “decision effect” of the effect mode C, the ratio of the operation promotion notification that prompts the operation of the effect button 18A is high, and the operation of the effect lever 19A is urged. The effect of prompting the operation of the effect button 18A is higher than the effect of the jackpot expectation (reliability).

It is determined by lottery based on the execution ratio shown in the table.

  The “development notice D1” displays an effect image of “effect d1” (see (j-3-3) in FIG. 71) on the image display device 14. In the “development notice D1”, an operation effective period (for example, an operation effective period X101 to be described later) for enabling the operation on the effect button 18A is set, and an operation promotion notification for prompting the operation of the effect button 18A is set during the operation effective period. Executed. Then, a corresponding effect such as displaying an effect image of “effect d1” on the image display device 14 is executed based on one press operation on the effect button 18A in the operation effective period.

  “Development notice D2” is for displaying the effect image of “effect d1” (see (j-3-3) in FIG. 71) on the image display device 14. In the “development notice D2”, an operation effective period (for example, an operation effective period X101 to be described later) for enabling the operation on the effect lever 19A is set, and an operation promotion notification that prompts the operation of the effect lever 19A is performed during the operation effective period. Executed. Then, based on the tilting operation being performed on the effect lever 19A during the operation effective period, a corresponding effect such as displaying the effect image of “effect d2” on the image display device 14 is executed.

  In the tables of FIGS. 50A and 50B, the “development notice D2” is the “development notice D2” and the “development notice D2” is the “development notice D2”. The execution ratio of “development notice D1” and “development notice D2” is set to be higher than “D1”.

  The “development notice D” is composed of “development notice D1” in which an operation promotion notification that prompts the operation of the effect button 18A is executed, and “development notice D2” in which an operation promotion notification that prompts the operation of the effect lever 19A is executed. Is done. In the production mode D that is a high-probability gaming state in which the loss probability is 1 / 1.02 and in the short-time gaming state, the percentage of lost is considerably higher than the percentage that is a big hit, and is lost in the production mode D. In this case, the execution rate of the “development effect D2” in which the operation promotion notification for prompting the operation of the effect lever 19A is executed is higher than the execution rate of “development effect D1” in which the operation promotion notification for prompting the operation of the effect button 18A is executed. high. Therefore, in the “development effect” of the effect mode D in the high-probability gaming state and the short-time game state, the operation promotion notification that prompts the operation of the effect button 18A is performed at a ratio that the operation promotion notification that prompts the operation of the effect lever 19A is executed. Is higher than the rate at which it is executed. On the other hand, in the “development notice” in the production mode D, when the ratio is a big hit or the like that is lower than the loss, the rate at which the operation promotion notification that prompts the operation of the production button 18A is executed is high. The effect of prompting the operation of the effect button 18A is higher in the jackpot expectation (reliability) than the effect of prompting the operation of the lever 19A.

  “Character notice D1” is to display the effect image of “Character d1” on the image display device 14. In this “character notice D1”, the effect button 18A is selected as an operation means for which the operation is effective during the operation effective period, and the operation promotion notification is executed in the operation effective period (for example, the operation effective period Y101 described later). (See (j-4-1) in FIG. 71). Then, an effect image of “character d1” to be described later (see (j-4-3) in FIG. 71) is displayed on the basis of one press operation on the effect button 18A during the operation effective period. A corresponding effect such as displaying on the device 14 is executed.

  “Character notice D2” is the same as “Character notice D1” except that an effect image of “Character d2” (not shown) is displayed on the image display device 14 instead of “Character d1”.

  “Character notice D3” is to display the effect image of “Character d3” on the image display device 14. In this “character notice D3”, the effect lever 19A is selected as an operation means for which the operation is valid during the operation valid period, and the operation promotion notification is executed during the operation valid period (for example, the operation valid period Y101 described later). (See (j-4-1) in FIG. 71). Then, based on the fact that the tilting operation is performed on the effect lever 19A during the operation valid period, a corresponding effect such as displaying an effect image of “Character d3” on the image display device 14 is executed.

  In the tables of FIGS. 50A and 50B, in “Development notice D”, the expectation (reliability) for the jackpot of “Character notice D1” to “Character notice D3” is the highest in “Character notice D1”. The execution ratio of “character notice D1” to “character notice D3” is set to be lower as “character notice D2” and “character notice D3”.

  “Character notice D” includes “Character notice D1” and “Character notice D2” in which the operation promotion notification for prompting the operation of the effect button 18A is executed, and “Character notice in advance” for the operation of the effect lever 19A. D3 ". In the production mode D that is the high-probability gaming state and the short-time gaming state, the execution rate of the “development production D3” in which the operation promotion notification that prompts the operation of the production lever 19A is executed is the operation that prompts the operation of the production button 18A. It is higher than the execution ratio of “Character notice D1” and “Character notice D2” for which the promotion notification is executed. Therefore, in the “development effect” of the effect mode D in the high-probability gaming state and the short-time game state, the operation promotion notification that prompts the operation of the effect button 18A is performed at a ratio that the operation promotion notification that prompts the operation of the effect lever 19A is executed. Is higher than the rate at which it is executed. On the other hand, in the “development notice” of the effect mode D, when the jackpot is a big hit, the ratio of the operation promotion notification that prompts the operation of the effect button 18A is high, and the operation of the effect lever 19A is urged. The effect of prompting the operation of the effect button 18A is higher than the effect of the jackpot expectation (reliability).

  “Decision effect D1” moves the first decorative member 17A as a movable member and displays an effect image of “flash d1” on the image display device 14 (see (j-4-6) in FIG. 71). ). In the “determination effect D1”, the effect button 18A is selected as an operation means in which the operation is effective during the operation effective period. In the operation effective period (for example, the operation effective period X102 described later), the operation of the effect button 18A is performed. The operation promotion notification for prompting the user is executed, and the state of the effect button 18A is set to the protruding state. Then, on the basis of the fact that the effect button 18A is pressed once during the operation effective period, the effect image of “flash d1” is displayed on the image display device 14 and the first decorative member 17A is set to “standby”. A corresponding effect such as moving from “position 1” to “operation position 1-2” is executed.

  “Decision effect D2” moves the first decorative member 17A as a movable member and displays an effect image of “flash d2” on the image display device 14 (see (j-4-6) in FIG. 71). ). In the “determination effect D2”, the effect lever 19A is selected as an operation means in which the operation is effective during the operation effective period. In the operation effective period (for example, the operation effective period X102 described later), the operation of the effect lever 19A is performed. The operation promotion notification that prompts the user is executed. Then, based on the tilting operation performed on the effect lever 19A during the operation effective period, an effect image of “flash d2” is displayed on the image display device 14, and the first decorative member 17A is set to “standby position 1”. A corresponding effect such as moving to “operation position 1-2” is executed.

  In the tables of FIGS. 50A and 50B, in “decided effect D”, the expectation (reliability) for the big hits of “decided effect D1” and “decided effect D2” is “decided” than “decided effect D2”. The execution ratio of “decided effect D1” and “decided effect D2” is set so that “effect D1” is higher. That is, the “decision effect D1” is determined at a higher rate when the determination result of the jackpot determination is a win (first to third jackpots, a small hit) than when the determination result of the jackpot determination is a loss. The

  In the tables of FIGS. 50 (a) and 50 (b), in the “decision effect D”, in the case of a loss, the “decision effect D2” is executed at a higher rate than the “decision effect D1”. In the case of, each execution ratio is set so that the “decided effect D1” is executed at a higher rate than the “decided effect D2”.

  The “decision effect D” is composed of “decision effect D1” in which an operation promotion notification that prompts the user to operate the effect button 18A is executed, and “decision effect D2” in which an operation promotion notification that prompts the user to operate the effect lever 19A is executed. Is done. In the production mode D that is the high-probability gaming state and the short-time gaming state, the execution rate of the “decision production D2” in which the operation promotion notification that prompts the operation of the production lever 19A is executed is the operation that prompts the operation of the production button 18A. It is higher than the execution rate of “decision effect D1” in which the promotion notification is executed. Therefore, in the “decided effect” of the effect mode D that is the high-probability gaming state and the short-time game state, the operation promotion notification that prompts the operation of the effect button 18A is performed at a ratio that the operation promotion notification that prompts the operation of the effect lever 19A is executed. Is higher than the rate at which it is executed. On the other hand, in the case of a big hit or the like, in the “decision effect” of the effect mode C, the ratio of the operation promotion notification that prompts the operation of the effect button 18A is high, and the operation of the effect lever 19A is urged. The effect of prompting the operation of the effect button 18A is higher than the effect of the jackpot expectation (reliability).

  Note that the degree of expectation for jackpots is different for the “development notice” and the “decision effect” in the effect mode B, the effect mode C, and the effect mode D. That is, among the “development notice B1” executed in the effect mode B, the “development notice C1” executed in the effect mode C, and the “development notice D1” executed in the effect mode D, “development notice D1”. The jackpot expectation degree (reliability) is the highest, and the jackpot expectation degree becomes lower as “development notice C1” and “development notice B1”. Of the “decided effect B1” executed in the effect mode B, the “decided effect C1” executed in the effect mode C, and the “decided effect D1” executed in the effect mode D, “decided effect D1”. The jackpot expectation degree (reliability) is the highest, and the jackpot expectation degree becomes lower as “decision effect C1” and “decision effect B1”. Therefore, in the high-probability gaming state and the short-time gaming state, it can be said that the jackpot expectation by the effect using the effect button 18A increases as the effect mode B, effect mode C, and effect mode D progress.

  The sub CPU 102a operates the operation means (the effect button 18A or the effect lever 19A) during the operation effective period in which the operation with respect to the operation means (the effect button 18A or the effect lever 19A) is validated as a special effect in the figure variation effect. The corresponding effect is executed based on the above.

  The sub CPU 102a has a higher period (first period) in the specific gaming state at a higher rate than the earlier period (first period) in the specific gaming state (high probability gaming state and short-time gaming state) after the end of the jackpot game. In the second period after the period of (1), an operation effective period is set during the variation effect.

  That is, the operation effective period is set during the changing effect at a higher rate in the changing effect (the changing 31st to 74th times) in the effect mode C than in the changing effect (the changing times 1 to 30). In addition, the operation effective period is set during the changing effect at a higher rate in the changing effect (the 75th to 84th changes) in the effect mode D than the changing effect in the effect mode C.

  In addition, the sub CPU 102a has a later period (in the specific gaming state) at a higher rate than the earlier period (first period) in the specific gaming state (high probability gaming state and short-time gaming state) after the end of the jackpot game. In the second period after the first period), an operation effective period in which the effect button 18A as the operation means for enabling the operation is set to the projecting state which is the second state is set.

  Further, when the sub CPU 102a is in the low-probability gaming state and the non-short-time gaming state, the sub CPU 102a executes the special effect using the operation of the effect button 18A at a higher rate than the special effect using the operation of the effect lever 19A. On the other hand, in the low-probability gaming state and the non-short-time gaming state, the special effect using the operation of the effect lever 19A is higher in the jackpot expectation than the special effect using the operation of the effect button 18A. . On the other hand, in the case of a specific gaming state (high probability gaming state and short-time gaming state), a higher proportion of special effects using the operation of the effect lever 19A than a special effect using the operation of the effect button 18A Run with. On the other hand, in the specific gaming state, the big hit expectation is higher in the special effect using the operation of the effect button 18A than in the special effect using the operation of the effect lever 19A.

(Variation effect pattern determination processing by effect control board)
The variation effect pattern determination process by the effect control board 102 will be described with reference to FIG.
In step S1311-1, the sub CPU 102a refers to the effect mode flag stored in the effect mode flag storage area of the sub RAM 102c, thereby setting the current mode set in the effect mode setting process (see FIG. 36) described later. The production mode is confirmed, and the variation production pattern determination table associated with the current production mode is selected.

  In this step S1311-1, when the sub CPU 102a refers to the effect mode flag stored in the effect mode flag storage area of the sub RAM 102c and confirms that the current effect mode is “effect mode A”. Then, the variation effect pattern determination table associated with the effect mode A shown in FIG. 40 is selected.

  Alternatively, in step S1311-1, the sub CPU 102a refers to the effect mode flag stored in the effect mode flag storage area of the sub RAM 102c and confirms that the current effect mode is “effect mode B”. For this, the variation effect pattern determination table associated with the effect mode B shown in FIG. 41 is selected.

  Alternatively, in step S1311-1, the sub CPU 102a refers to the effect mode flag stored in the effect mode flag storage area of the sub RAM 102c, and confirms that the current effect mode is “effect mode C”. For this, the variation effect pattern determination table associated with the effect mode C shown in FIG. 42 is selected.

  Alternatively, in step S1311-1, the sub CPU 102a refers to the effect mode flag stored in the effect mode flag storage area of the sub RAM 102c, and confirms that the current effect mode is “effect mode D”. For this, the variation effect pattern determination table associated with the effect mode D shown in FIG. 43 is selected.

  Alternatively, in step S1311-1, the sub CPU 102a refers to the effect mode flag stored in the effect mode flag storage area of the sub RAM 102c, and confirms that the current effect mode is “effect mode E”. For this, the variation effect pattern determination table associated with the effect mode E (not shown) is selected.

  In step S1311-2, the sub CPU 102a checks the special figure variation pattern designation command stored in the reception buffer of the sub RAM 102c.

  In the present embodiment, in each effect mode, one or more variable effect patterns are stored in association with the change effect pattern determination value for each special figure change pattern designation command. The variation effect pattern is identification information representing the effect contents of the variation effect, and is associated with a specific effect mode of the variation effect.

  The variation effect pattern is associated with the elements of the variation effect, such as the time of the change effect, the variation display mode of the effect symbol, the presence / absence of the reach effect, the contents of the reach effect, and the effect development configuration. In addition, in the variation effect pattern of the variation effect in the image display device 14, the display mode of the variation display of the effect symbol, and the display mode related to the object image and the background image composed of characters and the like are also components of the variation effect. It is associated.

  In step S1311-1, the sub CPU 102a acquires a random effect pattern determination random number. Specifically, the sub CPU 102a stores the random value indicated by the random number counter related to the random effect pattern determination random number in the random effect storage pattern random number storage area of the sub RAM 102c.

  In step S1311, the sub CPU 102a collates the variation effect pattern determination random number stored in the variation effect pattern determination random number storage area in step S1313-4 with the selected variation effect pattern determination table, thereby changing the variation effect pattern. The process of determining is performed.

  In step S1311-5, the sub CPU 102a performs execution (O) and non-execution (x) information (FIG. 40 to FIG. 40) associated with the variation effect of the variation effect pattern determined in step S1313-4. By checking (see FIG. 43), it is determined whether or not to execute a special effect in the determined variation effect of the variation effect pattern. If the sub CPU 102a executes the special effect, the process proceeds to step S1311-6. If the sub CPU 102a determines not to execute the special effect, the process proceeds to step S1311-9.

  In step S1311-6, the sub CPU 102a confirms the special effect associated with the variable effect pattern determined in step S1311-4. For example, if the sub CPU 102a determines “variation effect pattern A034” in step S1311, the sub CPU 102a executes “serif notice A”, “character notice A”, and “development notice A” as special effects in step S1311-6. Then, it is confirmed that the “decision effect A” is not executed (see FIG. 40).

In step S1311-7, the sub CPU 102a performs a process of determining the type of special effect confirmed in step S1311-6 by lottery.
In step S1311-8, the sub CPU 102a determines whether or not the process of determining the type of special effect in step S1311-7 has been completed for all the special effects confirmed in step S1311-6, and determines that the process has ended. If so, the process proceeds to step S1311-9. If it is determined that the process has not ended, the process returns to step S1311-7.

  For example, when the sub CPU 102a determines “variation effect pattern A034” in step S1311, the execution ratio according to the special effect type determination table in the effect mode A in FIG. “Selif Notice A1” to “Serial Notice A5” is determined as the type of “Serial Notice A1”, and “Character Notice A1” to “Character Notice A5” is determined as the “Character Notice A” type. Then, one of “Development Notice A1” to “Development Notice A6” is determined as the type of “Development Notice A”.

  In step S1311-9, the sub CPU 102a performs a process of determining whether or not to execute a specific effect. The specific effect is an effect that suggests the degree of expectation for jackpot using vibration of the effect button 18A or the like. Specifically, the sub CPU 102a refers to the specific effect determination table shown in FIG. 52 and FIG. 53, and determines whether or not the specific effect is executed based on the received special figure variation pattern designation command and the specific effect determination random value. judge. In the present embodiment, the specific effect is not performed when the reach effect is not performed and when the reach effect is the normal effect.

  For example, when the special figure variation pattern designation command is “E6H04H”, it is determined that the specific effect is executed at a rate of 50% (◯), and the specific effect is not executed at a rate of 50% (×). When the special figure change pattern designation command is “E6H0CH”, it is determined that the specific effect is executed at a rate of 80% (◯), and the specific effect is not executed at a rate of 20% (×).

  In step S1311-10, the sub CPU 102a checks whether or not it is determined in step S1311-9 that the specific effect is executed (O). If it is determined that the specific effect is to be executed (◯), the process proceeds to step S1311-1. If it is determined that the specific effect is not to be executed (x), the process proceeds to step S1311-1.

  In step S1311-1, the sub CPU 102a executes a specific effect type determination process for determining the type of the specific effect. The specific effect is performed by any one or a combination of vibration of the effect button 18A, pseudo sound output of the sound that the effect button 18A vibrates, and display of an image that the effect button 18A vibrates. In addition, the vibration of the effect button 18A is performed in one of two types of low speed vibration and high speed vibration.

  The specific effect type determination process will be specifically described with reference to FIG. First, in step S1311-11-1, the sub CPU 102a executes a vibration speed determination process for determining the vibration speed of the effect button 18A in the specific effect.

  Specifically, the sub CPU 102a refers to the specific effect vibration speed determination table shown in FIG. 54 and FIG. 55, and uses the received special figure fluctuation pattern designation command and the vibration speed determination random value to set the vibration speed to “low speed”. ”Or“ Fast ”. As shown in FIGS. 72A and 72B, the effect button 18A can vibrate. The “high speed” is a vibration speed at which vibration is transmitted to the player when the player touches the effect button 18A while the effect button 18A is vibrating. On the other hand, “low speed” means that, as described above, when the player touches the effect button 18A while the effect button 18A vibrates, the vibration is transmitted to the player as “Poco… Poco…”. It is the vibration speed.

  For example, when the special figure variation pattern designation command is “E6H05H”, “high speed” is determined at a rate of 50%, and “low speed” is determined at a rate of 50%. When the special figure variation pattern designation command is “E7H5BH”, it is determined as “high speed” at a rate of 90% and “low speed” at a rate of 10%. In the present embodiment, when the determination result is a big hit, the rate at which the vibration speed of the effect button 18A is determined to be “high speed” rather than “low speed” is higher than in the case of loss. Further, the higher the expectation level of the jackpot is, the more the effect content (reach effect) associated with the special figure variation pattern designation command is, the more the speed of the effect button 18A is determined to be "high speed" than "low speed". The percentage of the Therefore, when the specific effect is executed, the effect of high jackpot expectation is higher when the vibration speed of the effect button 18A is “high speed” than when the vibration speed is “low speed”. If “high speed” is determined in this step, the effect button 18A is vibrated at a high speed when the specific effect is executed, and if “low speed” is determined, the effect button 18A is vibrated at a low speed when the specific effect is executed. .

  In step S1311-11-2, the sub CPU 102a executes a sound output determination process for determining whether or not to output a pseudo sound of the vibration sound of the effect button 18A in the specific effect.

  Specifically, the sub CPU 102a refers to the specific effect sound output determination table shown in FIGS. 56 and 57, and uses the received special figure variation pattern designation command and the sound output determination random value to determine whether or not sound output is performed. decide. The voice output means that the voice output device 15 outputs a voice such as “Poco Poko Poko Poko” or “Poko... Poko...” That is a vibration sound of the presentation button 18A during execution of the specific presentation.

  For example, when the special figure variation pattern designation command is “E6H05H”, it is decided to execute voice output at a rate of 50% (◯), and not to execute voice output at a rate of 50% (×). To do. Also, when the special figure variation pattern designation command is “E7H5BH”, it is decided to execute voice output at a rate of 90% (◯), and not to execute voice output at a rate of 10% (×). To do. In the present embodiment, when the determination result is a jackpot, the rate of executing sound output (◯) is higher than in the case of losing. In addition, the higher the expectation level of the jackpot expectation content (reach effect) associated with the special figure variation pattern designation command is, the higher the proportion of execution of sound output (◯) becomes. Therefore, when the specific effect is executed, the effect of outputting the pseudo sound of the vibration sound of the effect button 18A is an effect having a higher expectation degree of jackpot than the effect of not outputting the sound.

  In step S1311-13-1, the sub CPU 102a executes image output determination processing for determining whether to output simulated image data of the effect button 18A that vibrates in the specific effect.

  Specifically, the sub CPU 102a refers to the specific effect image output determination table shown in FIG. 58 and FIG. 59, and determines the presence / absence of image output using the received special figure variation pattern designation command and the image output determination random number. To do. The output of an image is to display on the image display device 14 an image that simulates the appearance of the effect button 18A vibrating during execution of the specific effect.

  For example, when the special figure variation pattern designation command is “E6H05H”, it is decided to execute image output at a rate of 50% (◯) and not to execute image output at a rate of 50% (×). To do. When the special figure variation pattern designation command is “E7H5BH”, it is decided to execute image output at a rate of 90% (◯) and not to execute image output at a rate of 10% (×). To do. In the present embodiment, when the determination result is a big hit, the ratio of (○) to perform image output is higher than in the case of losing. Further, the higher the effect content (reach effect) associated with the special figure variation pattern designation command is, the higher the jackpot expectation degree effect, the higher the (○) rate at which image output is executed. Therefore, when executing the specific effect, the effect of outputting a pseudo image of the effect button 18A that vibrates is an effect that has a higher expectation degree of jackpot than the effect that does not output the image.

  Thus, sub CPU102a determines the production | generation aspect in a specific effect by performing the process of step S1311-11-1 to step S1311-1-11. The vibration speed of the effect button 18A, the simulated sound of the vibration sound of the effect button 18A, and the display of the image of the effect button 18A that vibrates are determined according to the degree of expectation of jackpot. That is, in the specific effect, whether the effect button 18A vibrates at “high speed” or “low speed”, whether a simulated vibration sound of the effect button 18A is output from the audio output device 15, or an effect on the image display device 14. Whether or not an image representing the button 18A is displayed indicates the expected degree of jackpot. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 60, the jackpot expectation is increased step by step by the combination of the vibration speed of the effect button 18A, the output of the vibration sound of the simulated effect button 18A, and the display of the image of the effect button 18A. It has become different.

  Specifically, as shown in the jackpot expectation of the specific effect shown in FIG. 60, the effect button 18A vibrates at “high speed” in the specific effect, and a simulated vibration sound of the effect button 18A is output. When the image of the effect button 18A is displayed, it is an effect that suggests the highest degree of jackpot expectation. On the other hand, when the effect button 18A vibrates only at “low speed” and the simulated vibration sound of the effect button 18A or the image of the effect button 18A is not output, the specific effect of the lowest jackpot expectation is obtained.

  In the present embodiment, when executing a specific effect, as shown in the specific effect type determination process of FIG. 36, the vibration speed of the effect button 18A, the presence or absence of the output of simulated vibration sound of the effect button 18A, and Although the presence or absence of the output of the image of the effect button 18A which vibrates is determined, respectively, it is not restricted to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 60, a combination of the vibration speed of the effect button 18A, the presence / absence of simulated vibration sound output of the effect button 18A, and the presence / absence of output of the image of the effect button 18A vibrating is set in advance. Which combination of specific effects is to be determined may be determined according to the jackpot expectation. Moreover, a combination of specific effects may be set in association with each variation effect pattern.

  When the specific effect type determination process ends, the sub CPU 102a moves the process to step S1311-1.

  In step S1311-1, the sub CPU 102a determines the special effect information of the type determined in step S1311-7 in the variable effect control command corresponding to the variable effect pattern determined in step S1311-4, and determined in step S1311-1. Information on the type of the specific effect, and the variable effect control command is set in the transmission buffer of the sub-RAM 102c.

  In step S1311-1, the sub CPU 102a stores the variation effect data corresponding to the determined variation effect pattern in the variation effect data storage area of the sub RAM 102c, and sets the effect time of the variation effect in the variation effect timer counter. . The variation effect timer counter is incremented by “4” in step S1200. The sub CPU 102a can grasp the elapsed time of the variation effect at the present time by the variation effect timer counter.

  The variation effect control command set in the transmission buffer is transmitted to the lamp control board 104 and the image control board 105 by the data output process in step S1500. When the image control board 105 receives the change effect control command, the image control board 105 controls the image display device 14 to display the change effect effect image based on the change effect pattern indicated by the command, and the sound output device outputs the change effect sound. The control which outputs from 15 is performed. In addition, when the lamp control board 104 receives the change effect control command, the lamp control board 104 performs operation control of the effect accessory device 17 and illumination control of the effect illumination device 16 in the change effect based on the change effect pattern indicated by the command.

  The image control board 105 causes the image display device 14 to display the effect image of the special effect at the execution timing of the special effect associated with the change effect pattern indicated by the change effect control command received from the effect control board 102. Control and control for outputting the sound of the special effect from the sound output device 15 are performed. Further, when the lamp control board 104 receives the change effect control command, the lamp control board 104 performs the operation control of the effect accessory device 17 and the illumination control of the effect illumination device 16 in the special effect associated with the change effect pattern indicated by the command. Do.

(Production mode setting process by production control board)
Next, the effect mode setting process will be described with reference to FIG.
In step S1314-1, the sub CPU 102a checks the special effect designating command stored in the reception buffer of the sub RAM 102c. In step S1314-2, the sub CPU 102a checks whether or not the result of the jackpot determination is a loss. . If the sub CPU 102a confirms that it is a loss, it moves the process to step S1314-3, and if it confirms that it is not a loss, it moves the process to step S1314-7.

In step S1314-7, the sub CPU 102a confirms the result of the special symbol determination based on the information included in the special effect symbol designation command confirmed in step S1314-1. Then, the sub CPU 102a refers to the effect mode determination table (FIG. 39) stored in the sub ROM 102b and collates the confirmed special symbol determination result with the effect mode determination table to determine the effect mode.
If the result of the special symbol determination confirmed in step S1314-1 is the first jackpot or the second jackpot, “effect mode B” is determined as shown in FIG. Thereby, after the end of the first jackpot game or after the end of the second jackpot game, the “effect mode B” is set.
Further, when the result of the special symbol determination confirmed in step S1314-1 is the third big hit or the small hit, as shown in FIG. 39, the “effect mode E” is determined. Thereby, after the end of the third big hit game or after the end of the small hit game, the “effect mode E” is set.

  In step S1314-8, the sub CPU 102a stores an effect mode flag corresponding to the effect mode determined in step S1314-7 in the effect mode flag storage area, and the number of executions of the effect mode that is associated with the effect mode. (Ma) is stored in the effect mode remaining number counter provided in the sub-RAM 102c, and the effect mode setting process ends.

  The number of performance mode executions is the number of variable effects that can be executed in the effect mode. The effect mode remaining number counter indicates the remaining number of fluctuation effects (M: remaining number of effect modes) that can be executed in a specific effect mode in which the effect mode executable number (Ma) is set.

When “effect mode B” is determined in step S1314-7, “effect mode B” is set after the end of the first jackpot game or after the end of the second jackpot game. 30 times are stored as Ma).
In addition, when the “effect mode E” is determined in the above-described step S1314-7, the “effect mode E” is set after the end of the third big hit game or after the end of the small hit game, and the number of executions of the effect mode is possible. 84 times are stored as (Ma).

  On the other hand, in step S1314-3, the sub CPU 102a determines whether or not the current mode is the production mode A, that is, whether or not the production mode flag “00H” is set in the production mode flag storage area.

  When the sub CPU 102a receives the initialization designation command transmitted from the main control board 101 in the initialization process of step S10 in the main process of the main control board described above, the sub CPU 102a sets the effect mode flag “00H” in the effect mode of the sub RAM 102c. The effect mode A is set by storing in the flag area.

  In step S1314-3, when determining that the sub CPU 102a is the effect mode A, the effect mode setting process ends. On the other hand, when determining that the mode is not the production mode A, the sub CPU 102a updates the remaining number (M) of the production mode by subtracting “1” from the counter value of the production mode remaining number counter in Step S1314-4. In −5, it is determined whether or not the counter value of the effect mode remaining number counter is “0”.

  In step S1314-5, if the sub CPU 102a determines that the counter value of the effect mode remaining number counter of the remaining number (M) of the effect mode is not “0”, the sub CPU 102a ends the effect mode setting process. If it is determined that it is “0”, in step S1314-6, the effect mode flag of “transfer destination effect mode” shown in FIG. 39 is stored in the effect mode flag storage area (setting of the transfer destination effect mode), and the effect mode setting is performed. The process ends.

  For example, the sub CPU 102a sets the production mode to the production mode B in the high-probability gaming state and the short-time gaming state after the first jackpot game or the second jackpot game, and M = 0 in step S1314-5. If it is determined that there is (YES in S 1314-5), in step S 1314-6, the effect mode C is set as the effect mode after the effect mode B (transition destination effect mode).

  If the sub CPU 102a determines that M = 0 in step S1314-5 with the effect mode C set (YES in S1314-5), the effect mode C is determined in step S1314-6. The production mode D is set as a later production mode (transition destination production mode).

  If the sub CPU 102a determines that M = 0 in step S1314-5 with the effect mode D set (YES in S1314-5), the effect mode D is determined in step S1314-6. Production mode A is set as a later production mode (transition destination production mode).

In the present embodiment, as shown in the effect mode determination table of FIG. 39, effect mode A is set in the low-probability gaming state and the non-time-saving gaming state.
Also, in the high-probability gaming state and the short-time gaming state after the first jackpot game or the second jackpot game when winning the first jackpot or the second jackpot, if the number of special figure changes is 1 to 30 The production mode B is set, the production mode C is set if the special figure fluctuation frequency is 31 to 74 times, and the production mode D is set if the special figure fluctuation frequency is 75 to 84 times.
Also, if the number of special figure fluctuations after the third big hit game or after the small hit game when winning the third big hit or the small hit game is 1 to 84 times, the effect mode E is set.

  The sub CPU 102a determines the variation effect pattern based on the variation effect pattern determination table corresponding to the effect mode set as described above.

  The sub CPU 102a executes a special effect (“Selif notice”, “Character notice”, “Development notice”, “Decisive effect”) among the change effect patterns shown in the change effect pattern determination tables of FIGS. The variation effect pattern associated with the information of (◯) and the presence / absence of execution of the specific effect based on the specific effect determination table shown in FIGS. 52 to 53 is determined, and the special effect associated with the determined variation effect pattern 45, FIG. 47, FIG. 49, FIG. 51 as the type of effect, the specific effect type associated with the operation effective period, and the specific effect type with reference to the specific effect type determination tables of FIGS. When the type is determined, the operation valid period is set in the variation effect.

  As can be seen from the execution ratio of special effects (the ratio of ◯) in FIGS. 40 to 43 and FIGS. 44, 46, 48, and 50, the sub CPU 102a has the “effect mode in the low-probability gaming state and the non-short-time gaming state. “A” is executed in “effect mode B” to “effect mode D” in the high-probability gaming state and the short-time gaming state at a rate higher than the rate of determining the special effect type associated with the operation effective period to be executed in “A”. The type of special effect associated with the operation valid period is determined. That is, the sub CPU 102a has a higher ratio than the ratio of the operation effective period in the variation effect of the “effect mode A” in the low-probability gaming state and the non-short-time gaming state, In the variation effect of “B” to “effect mode D”, the operation valid period is set.

  As can be seen from the execution ratio of special effects (circle ratio) in FIGS. 41 to 43 and FIGS. 46, 48, and 50, the sub CPU 102 a performs the second big hit game after the end of the first big hit game. Among “Production Mode B” to “Production Mode D” in the high-probability gaming state and the short-time gaming state set in the high-probability gaming state and the short-time gaming state after the end of “Production Mode B”, “Production Mode C” As the “effect mode D”, the special effect type associated with the operation effective period is determined as a special effect type to be executed in that mode at a higher rate. That is, the sub CPU 102a has a higher ratio of the special figure fluctuation frequency in the higher ratio than the production mode (first period) in which the special figure fluctuation frequency is smaller in the “production mode B” to the “production mode D”. In the (second period), the operation effective period is set during the fluctuating effect. Here, among “production mode B” to “production mode D”, the special production executed in that mode at a higher rate as “production mode B”, “production mode C”, and “production mode D”. As the type, the type of special effect associated with the operation effective period in which the operating means is in the protruding state (second state) is determined. That is, the sub CPU 102a has a higher ratio of the special figure fluctuation frequency in the higher ratio than the production mode (first period) in which the special figure fluctuation frequency is smaller in the “production mode B” to the “production mode D”. In the (second period), an operation effective period in which the operating means is in the protruding state (second state) during the fluctuating effect is set.

(Production input control processing by production control board)
The effect input control process by the effect control board 102 in step S1400 described above will be described with reference to FIG.
In step S1401, the sub CPU 102a performs an effect button operation detection signal from the effect button operation detection switch 18a based on the pressing operation of the effect button 18A, and an effect lever operation detection signal from the effect lever operation detection switch 19a based on the operation of the effect lever 19A. It is determined whether or not any of these operation means has been operated by determining whether or not any of the above has been input.

  In this step S1401, if the sub CPU 102a determines that any of the operating means has been operated, the process proceeds to step S1402, and if it is determined that no operating means has been operated, The effect input control process ends.

  In step S1402, the sub CPU 102a determines whether or not the special symbol variation display is currently being performed. If the sub CPU 102a determines that the special symbol variation display is being performed, the process proceeds to step S1403 to change the special symbol variation. When it is determined that the display is not in progress, the effect input control process is terminated.

  In step S1403, the sub CPU 102a checks the variation effect pattern of the variation effect being executed according to the current special symbol variation display stored in the variation effect data storage area of the sub RAM 102c.

  In step S1404, the sub CPU 102a determines whether or not it is during the operation effective period in the variation effect by the variation effect pattern confirmed in step S1403. If it is determined that it is during the operation effective period, the process proceeds to step S1405. If it is determined that the operation is not valid, the effect input control process is terminated.

  In step S1405, the sub CPU 102a refers to FIG. 45, FIG. 47, FIG. 49, and FIG. 51 during the operation effective period determined in step S1404. It is confirmed whether the button 18A or the effect lever 19A. Then, whether or not an operation to the activated operation means has been performed depends on whether or not an effect button operation detection signal from the effect button operation detection switch 18a or an effect lever operation detection signal from the effect lever operation detection switch 19a is input. Judgment based on.

That is, when the operation means that is activated during the operation effective period is the effect button 18A, it is determined whether or not an effect button operation detection signal is input from the effect button operation detection switch 18a, and is enabled during the operation effective period. If the operating means is the effect lever 19A, it is determined whether or not an effect lever operation detection signal is input from the effect lever operation detection switch 19a.
In step S1405, the sub CPU 102a inputs the detection signal of the operating means activated from the effect button operation detection switch 18a or the effect lever operation detection switch 19a in the operation effective period in step S1405, so that the operation is performed. If it is determined that a designated operation has been performed on the activated operation means, the process proceeds to step S1406, and the activated operation means detection signal from the effect button operation detection switch 18a or the effect lever operation detection switch 19a. If it is determined that no designation operation has been performed on the operation means that has been validated during the valid operation period, the effect input control process is terminated.

  In step S1406, the sub CPU 102a sets the corresponding effect control command for controlling the corresponding effect based on the designated operation to the operation means for which the operation is enabled in the transmission buffer of the sub RAM 102c during the operation effective period. The corresponding effect control command set in the transmission buffer of the sub RAM 102c is transmitted to the lamp control board 104 and the image control board 105 by the data output process in step S1500. When the lamp control board 104 and the image control board 105 receive the corresponding effect control command, the lamp control board 104 and the image control board 105 perform effect control for executing the corresponding effect based on the control content indicated by the corresponding effect control command.

  For example, when the sub CPU 102a confirms “variation effect pattern A034” as the variation effect pattern in step S1403 and executes “line notice A1”, the sub CPU 102a sends a corresponding effect control command to the image control board 105 and Transmit to the lamp control board 104. Thereby, the image control board 105 performs control to display the effect image of “serif a1” as the corresponding effect. Further, the lamp control board 104 performs drive control to the third effect accessory device 1703 based on the corresponding effect control command, whereby the third decorative member 17C is moved from “standby position 3” to “operation” as the corresponding effect. The moving operation to move to “position 3” is performed.

  In the present embodiment, an operation promotion notification that prompts the player to operate the effect button 18A during the execution of a game effect related to a game using a game ball, such as a change effect performed during a special symbol change display, is performed. In the operation enabled state, the effect button 18A is in a non-projecting state (first state) or a projecting state (second state).

Here, a specific example of the variation effect will be described.
(Specific example of variation production in production mode A)
First, a specific example of the variation effect of the variation effect pattern in the effect mode A will be described.

  FIG. 61A shows a variation effect time in which the sub CPU 102a receives the variation pattern designation command “E6H0AH” or “E7H0AH” from the main control board 101, determines the “variation effect pattern A034”, and executes the specific effect. It is a figure for demonstrating a general flow. Further, FIG. 61B is executed when the sub CPU 102a receives the variation pattern designation command “E6H0BH” or “E7H0BH” from the main control board 101 and determines the “variation effect pattern A038”, and performs a specific effect. It is a figure for demonstrating the time flow of the change production to perform. FIG. 61C shows a variable effect in which the sub CPU 102a receives the variation pattern designation command “E6H0CH” or “E7H0CH” from the main control board 101, determines the “variable effect pattern A042”, and executes the specific effect. It is a figure for demonstrating the time flow of.

(Variation effect related to variation effect pattern A034 (first jackpot))
When the jackpot determination result is “first jackpot” and “variable effect pattern A034” is selected in the low-probability gaming state and the non-time-saving gaming state, the sub CPU 102a starts from timing T11 shown in FIG. Effect control is performed to execute the variable effect up to timing T14. FIG. 62 shows an effect image displayed on the image display device 14 in the variation effect shown in FIG. 51A, an effect button 18A, an effect lever 19A, a second decorative member 17B, and a third decorative member 17C.

  The sub CPU 102a executes “symbol variation A1-1” in a period (a-1) from timing T11 to timing T12, and “normal reach A1-1” in a period (a-2) from timing T12 to timing T13. After that, in the period (a-3) and the period (a-4) from the timing T13 to the timing T14, the effect control for executing the “super reach A1-1” is performed.

  In the “symbol variation A1-1” in the period (a-1), the sub CPU 102a performs effect control for causing the image display device 14 to display effect images in which a plurality of special effect symbols are variably displayed.

  In the “symbol variation A1-1” in this period (a-1), the sub CPU 102a first changes the special effect symbols in FIG. 62 and the predetermined character “character a1 (kunoichi)” appears in FIG. Effect control for causing the image display device 14 to display the effect image shown in (a-1-1) is performed.

  The sub CPU 102a executes “line notice A” as a special effect in the “symbol variation A1-1”. “Selif notice A” is a notice effect that notifies the possibility of executing the jackpot game and gives a sense of expectation that the jackpot determination result is a jackpot.

  The sub CPU 102a displays “Selif Notice A” in FIG. 45A according to the execution rate of “Selif Notice A” in “Variation Effect Pattern A034” set in the special effect type determination table in FIG. Effect control for executing any one of “Serif notice A1” to “Serif notice A5” shown in the special effect information table is performed.

  When the sub CPU 102a executes any of “Serif Notice A1” to “Serial Notice A3” in “Symbol Variation A1-1”, as shown in FIG. 61 (a), the sub CPU 102a operates the effect button 18A. A valid operation valid period X11 is set (see FIG. 45A).

  In the operation effective period X11, the sub CPU 102a includes an operation promotion notification image for prompting the operation of the effect button 18A in the case of “Selif Notice A2” or “Selif Notice A3” (a-1-2) in FIG. The effect which displays the effect image shown to the image display apparatus 14 is performed. The operation promotion notification image is composed of the characters “Press the button !!” together with the effect button 18A and the timer gauge image. In the case of “Serial notice A1”, an effect of causing the image display device 14 to display an effect image shown in (a-1-3) of FIG. 62 including an image of an operation promotion notification prompting the operation of the effect lever 19A is executed. To do. This operation promotion notification image is composed of the characters “draw the lever !!” together with the effect lever 19A and the timer gauge image.

  The sub CPU 102a, as shown in the execution ratio of “Serif notice A1” to “Serif notice A3” in “Fluctuation effect pattern A034” set in the special effect type determination table of FIG. In the operation effective period X11 of “Serif notice A3”, the state of the effect button 18A is kept in the non-projecting state (first state)) and not in the projecting state (second state). Note that the corresponding sound may be output from the sound output device 15 when the effect image of the operation promotion notification is displayed.

  When the sub-CPU 102a executes “line notice A1”, the “character a1” is changed to “line a1” (“ 62) is displayed on the image display device 14 and the third decorative member 17C as the movable member is set to “standby position 3”. A corresponding effect (notice effect) such as moving to “operation position 3” is executed. The sub CPU 102a may execute an effect of outputting the voice of “serif a1” from the voice output device 15.

  When executing the “line notice A2”, the sub CPU 102a, as shown in FIG. 45A, is based on the fact that the presentation button 18A is pressed once during the operation effective period X11. Unlike the effect image shown in (a-1-4) of 62, the effect image in which “Character a1” speaks “Serif a2” (“Hundred cars?”) Is displayed on the image display device 14. Production control for performing production (notice production) is performed.

  When executing the “line notice A3”, as shown in FIG. 45 (a), the sub CPU 102a performs a pressing operation on the effect button 18A once during the operation effective period X11. Unlike the effect image shown in 62 (a-1-4), a corresponding effect in which an effect image in which “Character a1” speaks “Serif a3” (“Do you have enough for both?”) Is displayed on the image display device 14 ( Produce control for executing the notice effect).

  On the other hand, the sub CPU 102a does not set the operation valid period X11 when executing the “line notice A4” and the “line notice A5”. That is, in “Serif Notice A4” and “Serial Notice A5”, the operation promotion notification image such as the effect image shown in (a-1-2) of FIG. 62 is not displayed, and “character” is displayed at a predetermined timing. A notice effect is displayed in which an effect image in which “a1” is speaking is displayed on the image display device 14. Note that the notice effects of “Serif notice A4” and “Serif notice A5” are effects equivalent to the corresponding effects described above.

  When executing the “line notice A4”, the sub CPU 102a differs from the effect image shown in FIG. 62A-1-4 at a predetermined timing as shown in FIG. Effect control is performed to execute a notice effect (corresponding to a corresponding effect) in which an effect image that states that “Serif a4” (“Do you get one car?”) Is displayed on the image display device 14.

  When executing the “line notice A5”, the sub CPU 102a, as shown in FIG. 45A, differs from the effect image shown in (a-1-4) of FIG. Effect control is performed to execute a notice effect (corresponding to a corresponding effect) in which an effect image of “speaking a5” (“Do you earn money?”) Is displayed on the image display device 14.

  In the “normal reach A1-1” in the period (a-2), the sub CPU 102a stops displaying the two special effect symbols (left symbol and right symbol) at the same numerical value (for example, 7) on the image display device 14. 62. The effect control for executing the effect of displaying the effect image of the reach effect of (a-2-1) in FIG. 62 for generating the reach state to be performed on the image display device 14 is performed.

  In addition, as described above, the gaming machine Y executes the variation effects of the effect modes B to D in the specific game state (the high probability game state and the short time game state) after the end of the jackpot game. The operational effective period is set during the changing production at a higher rate in the changing production in the production mode C (from the 31st to the 74th fluctuation) than the fluctuation production in the first fluctuation (the first fluctuation to the 30th fluctuation). The operation effective period is set during the change effect at a higher rate in the change effect (changes 75th to 84th) of the effect mode D than the effect.

(Specific examples of display results for each display)
73, the first special symbol first display 60, the second special symbol first indicator 61, the first special symbol second indicator 88, the second special symbol second indicator 89, the second A specific example of the display result that is stopped and displayed as a result of the variable display on the one-image display device (main liquid crystal) 14 will be described.

  First, the details of the variable display of various symbols performed before the display result is derived by each display will be described.

  In the first special symbol first indicator 60 and the second special symbol first indicator 61, the right end of the six LEDs arranged in the left-right direction, which becomes the special symbol display area when the power is turned on (RAM clear), is lit (disaster special symbol). The initial special symbol of the same mode as that of the first special symbol is displayed), and the special symbol variation display is performed based on the establishment of the starting condition. Specifically, the lighting position is repeatedly moved one by one in a predetermined cycle (for example, 0.25 seconds) from the leftmost LED toward the rightmost LED, and finally one or more LEDs are turned on. Lost special symbol or jackpot special symbol is stopped and displayed.

  Then, the loss special symbol or the jackpot special symbol stopped and displayed on the first special symbol first display 60 is next displayed on the first special symbol first indicator 60 until the variable display is started (the second special symbol first). While the variable display on the display 61 is being executed or the jackpot game is being executed), the state of being stopped and displayed is maintained, and the lost special symbol or the jackpot special symbol that is stopped and displayed on the second special symbol first indicator 61 is Next, until the variable display is started on the second special symbol first display 61 (while the variable display on the first special symbol first display 60 is being executed or the jackpot game is being executed), the display remains stopped. The state of is to be maintained.

  In the first special symbol second indicator 88 and the second special symbol second indicator 89, when the power is turned on (RAM clear), one LED that becomes the fourth symbol display area is turned off (the same manner as the loss fourth symbol). The display of the 4th symbol is performed so as to synchronize (synchronize) with the variation display of the special symbol. Specifically, turning off and turning on one LED is repeated at a predetermined cycle (for example, 0.5 seconds), and finally the LED is turned off or turned on, and the lost 4th symbol or the big hit 4th symbol is stopped and displayed. In addition, about the lighting cycle of LED, you may make it earlier than the lighting cycle (0.25 second) of LED of a special symbol 1st indicator.

  Then, the lost fourth symbol or the big hit fourth symbol stopped and displayed on the first special symbol second indicator 88 is then displayed on the first special symbol second indicator 88 until the variable display is started (second special symbol). While the variable display on the second display 89 is being executed or the jackpot game is being executed, the state where the display is stopped is maintained, and the lost 4th symbol or jackpot that is stopped and displayed on the second special symbol second display 89 The fourth symbol is stopped until the next variable display on the second special symbol second display 89 is started (during the execution of the variable display on the first special symbol second display 88 or the execution of the jackpot game). The state as it is displayed is maintained.

  In the image display device, when the power is turned on (RAM clear), the initial effect symbols different from the three effect symbols (losing effect symbol and jackpot effect symbol) predetermined in the effect symbol display area (left area, center area, right area) ) Is displayed, and the effect symbol variation display is performed so as to synchronize (synchronize) with the special symbol variation display. Specifically, the three effect symbols are scrolled up and down, and finally, the loss effect symbol or the jackpot effect symbol is stopped and displayed.

  The lost effect symbol or jackpot effect symbol that is stopped and displayed in the effect symbol display area is either until the next variable display starts, until the customer waiting effect is executed, or until the jackpot game is executed. Is maintained in a stopped display state, and when a customer waiting effect is executed or when a jackpot game is executed, it is not displayed in the effect symbol display area. Note that the initial effect symbol may be the same as the lost effect symbol.

  In the image display device, when the power is turned on (RAM clear), one special symbol (initial special symbol having the same form as the loss special symbol) is displayed in the special symbol display area in advance. The special symbol variation display is performed so as to be synchronized (synchronized) with the symbol variation display. Specifically, the display mode of one special symbol is changed, and finally the lost special symbol or the jackpot special symbol is stopped and displayed.

  The lost special symbol or jackpot special symbol that is stopped and displayed in the special symbol display area is either until the next variable display starts, until the customer waiting effect is performed, or until the jackpot game is performed. Is maintained in a stopped display state, and is not displayed in the special symbol display area when a customer waiting effect is executed or when a jackpot game is executed.

  As described above, the size of the 4th symbol display area disposed inside the game area 2A is smaller than that of the special symbol display area (the special symbol 2nd indicator than the special symbol 1st indicator). Therefore, the area inside the game area 2A is not extremely narrowed. Also, the size of the special symbol display area is larger than that of the fourth symbol display area (the special symbol first display has more LEDs than the special symbol second display). On the other hand, it becomes easy to accurately notify the result of the game.

  Next, a specific example of the display result that is stopped and displayed on each display device as a result of the variable display will be described.

In the special symbol first displays 60 and 61, one of a display result indicating one type of special symbol for losing and a display result indicating special symbols for 22 types of jackpots is derived and displayed.
Specifically, in the display result indicating the lost special symbol, one LED at the right end is turned on and the remaining LEDs are turned off as in the case of power-on (RAM clear). In other words, the display result indicating the loss special symbol of the first special symbol first display 60 and the display result indicating the loss special symbol of the second special symbol first display 61 are the same display result.
On the other hand, in the display result indicating the jackpot special symbol, 2 to 5 LEDs are turned on and the remaining LEDs are turned off.

  As a result of the special symbol determination, it is different from the jackpot game (the jackpot 8 is opened for a predetermined time or intermittently, but the degree of advantage to the player is lower than the jackpot game, and the game state is changed. In the case where the small hit game is made executable, the display result indicating the special bonus symbol on the special symbol first display 60, 61 is the display result indicating the special symbol for the loss or the display result indicating the special bonus symbol. It is recommended that the display result is different from the above. In addition, when there is one kind of small hit game, the display result showing the small hit special symbol is also one kind, but when there are a plurality of types of small hit games, the display result showing the small hit special symbol is also small. It is better to have multiple types corresponding to the type of game.

In the special symbol second display, one of a display result indicating one type of lost fourth symbol and a display result indicating one type of big hit fourth symbol is derived and displayed.
Specifically, in the display result showing the 4th pattern of loss, one LED is turned off in the same manner as when the power is turned on (RAM clear).
On the other hand, in the display result indicating the big hit 4th symbol, one LED is lit.

  In addition, when the above-described small hit game is made executable, the display result indicating the small hit fourth symbol on the special symbol second display indicates the display result indicating the lost fourth symbol or the big hit fourth symbol. The display result may be different from the display result. In addition, when there is one kind of small hit game, the display result indicating the small hit 4th symbol is also one type, but when there are multiple types of small hit games, the display result indicating the 4th small hit game is also displayed. It is better to have multiple types corresponding to the types of small hit games.

In the effect symbol display area of the image display device 14, one of a display result indicating 23 or more types of lost effect symbols and a display result indicating ten types of jackpot effect symbols is derived and displayed.
Specifically, in the display result indicating the loss effect design, the combination (separation) of the 3 production designs that are not the same and have no regularity is stopped.
On the other hand, in the display result indicating the jackpot effect symbol, the same combination of three effect symbols (9 types of 111 to 999) is stopped.

  When the above-described small hit game can be executed, the display result indicating the small hit effect symbol on the image display device 14 is different from the display result indicating the lost effect symbol or the display result indicating the big hit effect symbol. Although it is good also as a display result, it is good also as the same display result as the display result which shows a predetermined jackpot effect design. Further, when there is one kind of small hit game, the display result indicating the small hit effect symbol is also one type. However, when there are plural types of small hit games, the display result indicating the small hit effect symbol is also small. It is better to have multiple types corresponding to the type of game.

In the special symbol display area of the image display device 14, one of a display result indicating one type of loss special symbol and a display result indicating one type of jackpot special symbol is derived and displayed.
Specifically, in the display result indicating the loss special symbol, the “x” symbol is stopped as in the case of power-on (RAM clear).
On the other hand, in the display result indicating the jackpot special symbol, the “◯” symbol is stopped.
When the above-described small hit game is made executable, the display result indicating the small hit special symbol in the special symbol display area of the image display device 14 indicates the display result indicating the lost special symbol or the big hit special symbol. The display result may be different from the display result. In addition, when there is one type of small hit game, the display result indicating the small hit special symbol is also one type, but when there are a plurality of types of small hit games, the display result indicating the small hit special symbol is also small. It is better to have multiple types corresponding to the type of game.

  As explained above, there are multiple types of display results that show special jackpot symbols, but there is only one type of display result that shows special symbols, so if you only remember the display results that show special symbols, It is possible to easily determine whether or not it is lost. In addition, if there are fewer display results indicating the special symbol for loss than the types of display results indicating the special symbol for jackpot, two or more types of display results indicating the special symbol for loss may be used.

  In addition, only one LED is lit in the display result showing the special symbol for losing, whereas two or more LEDs are lit in the display result showing the special symbol for jackpot, so it is easy to determine whether it is a big hit or lost. It becomes possible to do.

  Also, since there are multiple types of display results (LED lighting modes) for each special jackpot symbol, it is difficult to instantly determine which type of jackpot game will be executed, which type of jackpot game will be executed It is possible to improve the player's expectation for the game.

  In addition, when a display result indicating a lost special symbol is derived and displayed, an LED that is different from the LED that lights when the variation starts is lit, so even if the variation time is extremely short, the variation display of the special symbol is performed. It becomes possible to recognize what has been broken.

  In addition, when the display result indicating the jackpot special symbol is derived and displayed, at least one LED that is different from the LED that lights when the variation starts is lit, so even if the variation time is extremely short, It is possible to recognize that the variable display has been performed.

  In addition, since there are fewer types of display results showing jackpot 4 symbols and display results showing jackpot special symbols than types of display results showing jackpot special symbols, by checking the 4th design and special symbols, It is possible to instantly determine whether it is a big hit or a loss. Note that the number of display results indicating the jackpot special symbol may be less than the type of display result indicating the jackpot 4th symbol or the display result indicating the jackpot special symbol.

  Also, since there are fewer types of display results showing jackpot special symbols than types of display results showing special jackpot symbols, there are fewer types of display results showing jackpot special symbols. This makes it easier to predict the type of jackpot game. Note that the types of display results indicating the jackpot special symbol may be less than the types of display results indicating the jackpot effect symbol.

  In addition, since the size of the display result indicating the lost special symbol and the size of the display result indicating the lost fourth symbol are the same or similar (both are displayed by one LED), it is easy to grasp the correspondence between the two. It becomes easy to recognize that it is a loss.

  In addition, since the display result indicating the jackpot special symbol includes a display result indicating the jackpot special symbol, the display result indicating the special jackpot symbol is displayed because the LED that is turned on with the display result indicating the special bonus symbol is included. It is possible to reduce a bad impression on the display result.

  In addition, regardless of what kind of jackpot game is performed, the display result indicating the jackpot special symbol includes the one that the LED that lights up with the display result indicating the lose special symbol is lit. It is possible to further reduce the bad impression on the display result indicating.

  In addition, during the variable display on the special symbol first display 60, 61, there is no state where all the LEDs are turned off or a plurality of LEDs are turned on, and one LED is always turned on. Therefore, it becomes easy to grasp that the variable display is being performed.

  In addition, during the variable display on the special symbol first display 60, 61, a plurality of special symbols (1 to 5 from the left side) that are not finally stopped except for the display result indicating the special symbol for loss. The mode in which the first one LED is lit up appears (displayed), so that it is easy to grasp that the variable display is being performed.

When the number or the second hold number decreases, the hold icon is displayed as the change icon by moving (shifting) the first hold icon or the second hold icon to the change icon display area 70D (the hold number is reduced). In the hold number display area composed of the first hold number display area SH1 and the second hold number display area SH2, the first hold corresponding to the start of the variable display is performed. When the number or the second hold number decreases, the number is subtracted without performing the hold reduction effect as described above. Therefore, it is easy to grasp the pure number of reservations itself by checking the number-of-holds display area. Note that displaying as the icon may be included in the specific effect.

Even during the reach effect (SP reach effect), the number of reservations (first hold number display area SH1 and second hold number display area SH2) of the hold number display area (first liquid crystal display) 14 of the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 14 Although the display of 1 hold number and 2nd hold number was displayed without erasing, the hold number (first hold) in the hold number display area (first hold number display area SH1, second hold number display area SH2) Number and second hold number) may be deleted. Similarly, in the SP reach effect of FIG. 75 (b), the blackout effect of FIG. 76 (a), the movement effect and the SPSP reach effect of FIG. 76 (b), which will be described later, the hold number display area (first hold number display area SH1). In addition, the display of the hold number (the first hold number and the second hold number) in the second hold number display area SH2) may be deleted.
Thus, the hold icon display area (first hold icon display areas 70B1 to 70B4) of the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 70 during a specific effect (SP reach effect, SPSP reach effect, blackout effect, movement effect). , Second hold icon display area 70C1-70C4) hold icon display and hold number display area (first hold number display area SH1, second hold number display area SH2) hold number (first hold number, second hold) The display of the number of holds (first hold number, second hold number) is displayed on the special symbol hold second display 88, 89 of the second game information display device 79 (the number of holds). Since the first hold number and the second hold number are displayed, the hold number (the first hold number and the second hold number) can be grasped.

Next, FIG. 75 will be described.
FIG. 75 is a display example of the first game information display device 59, the second game information display device 79, and the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 14 during the reach effect (SP reach effect) performed in the short-time game state. is there.

  As shown in FIGS. 82 and 83, the first game information display device 59 includes a first display substrate 4200 on which a plurality of LEDs 4045 are surface-mounted and a first cover that at least covers the front side of the first display substrate 4200. A member 4202 and a protective member 4204 covering the rear side of the first display substrate 4200 are provided. That is, the first display substrate 4200 is accommodated by the first cover member 4202 and the protection member 4204. The first game information display device 59 is installed in a standing posture so that the first display substrate 4200 disposed between the first cover member 4202 and the protection member 4204 is along the board surface of the game board 2. The first game information display device 59 is configured to be difficult or inaccessible from the outside to the first display substrate 4200 by the first cover member 4202 and the protection member 4204. The first game information display device 59 is fitted to an attachment opening (not shown) formed in a plate member constituting the game board 2 and attached to the plate member, and the front side faces the front side of the game board 2 so that the game The light of the LED 4045 is visible from the person. In addition, the first game information display device 59 has a rear surface facing the back side of the game board 2 (plate member), and a connector 4100 (FIG. 81), which will be described later, provided so as to face the back side. It is accessible from the back side. The first cover member 4202 and the protection member 4204 may be combined to form a cover member.

In other words, the attachment structure of the first game information display device 59 and the game board 2 is a configuration that is difficult to remove without destroying the game board 2 or the first game information display device 59, and the game board 2 or the first game board by the removal 1 game information display device 59 cannot be assembled as originally because it is destroyed or deformed, and the game board 2 or first game information display device 59 is destroyed or deformed by removal, so that the game board 2 or the first game information display device 59 may have at least one structure in which a trace of removal remains.

  As shown in FIG. 85, the first display substrate 4200 is a printed circuit board in which a plurality of LEDs 4045 are provided on the front surface facing the player, and light can be emitted from each LED 4045 toward the front side. ing. The LED 4045 is mounted on the surface of the first display substrate 4200 instead of through-hole mounting for fixing the lead of the LED 4045 to the hole of the printed circuit board. In the first display substrate 4200, the light emitting element of the LED 4045 and the solder for fixing the light emitting element to the first display substrate 4200 are on the same front surface of the first display substrate 4200. That is, in the first display substrate 4200, the lead for connecting the LED 4045 to the circuit does not protrude on the rear surface, and the solder for fixing the LED 4045 is not disposed on the rear surface. In the present embodiment, a plurality of LEDs 4045 are arranged in two upper and lower rows in the upper region of the first display substrate 4200. As the LED 4045, either full color or single color may be used, and a plurality of LEDs may be configured by combining full color and single color. As the LED 4045, a chip type or a shell type can be used as long as it can be mounted on the surface, but a chip type is desirable from the advantage of reducing space. The first display board 4200 is controlled by the control means of the main control board 101 to control the ON / OFF / flashing states of the plurality of LEDs 4045, and the ON / OFF / flashing states and combinations and states thereof. Information related to profits given to the player due to changes or the like is displayed.

  Thus, by mounting the LED 4045 on the first display substrate 4200, the space for disposing the LED 4045 on the first display substrate 4200 can be reduced, and the first display substrate 4200 can be made more compact. it can. Further, by mounting the LED 4045 on the first display substrate 4200, the weight can be reduced and the failure can be reduced. Further, by mounting the LED 4045 on the front surface of the first display substrate 4200, the mounting of the LED 4045 does not affect the rear surface of the first display substrate 4200 as in the case of through-hole mounting. Therefore, in the first display substrate 4200, it is possible to arrange other electronic components on the rear surface corresponding to the mounting area where the plurality of LEDs 4045 are mounted on the front surface, and the rear surface of the first display substrate 4200 is effectively used. The first display substrate 4200 can be made more compact.

  The LED 4045 has either a configuration in which the light emitting element is disposed so as to protrude from the surface of the first display substrate 4200 (see FIG. 82) or a configuration in which the light emitting element is embedded so as not to protrude from the surface of the first display substrate 4200. May be. The first display substrate 4200 may be provided with a reflective portion that easily reflects white light or the like in the front surface area where the plurality of LEDs 4045 are mounted, or it is difficult to reflect black light or the like in the front surface area. An absorption part may be provided. When the light emitting element of the LED 4045 protrudes from the surface of the first display substrate 4200, the light irradiated from the LED 4045 can be reflected by the reflecting part and efficiently used by providing a reflective part around the light emitting element. Further, in the case where the light emitting element of the LED 4045 is embedded in the first display substrate 4200, the light emitted from the LED 4045 by the absorption unit is diffused on the front surface of the first display substrate 4200 by providing an absorption part around the light emitting element. Can be prevented.

  FIG. 85 is a front view of the first display substrate 4200 as seen from the front surface side. The first special symbol first indicator 60 is composed of six LEDs 4045 on the left side of the upper row, and the second special symbol first indicator 61 is composed of six LEDs 4045 in the upper row. The first special symbol hold first indicator 63 is composed of two LEDs 4045 arranged between the first special symbol first indicator 60 and the second special symbol first indicator 61, and the second special symbol. The reserved first indicator 64 is composed of two LEDs 4045 on the right side of the second special symbol first indicator 61. On the right side of the second special symbol holding first display 64, there is one LED 4045 constituting the high probability gaming state display 68, the short time gaming state display 69, and the right-handed first display 67 in this order. They are arranged side by side. The round number indicator 66 is composed of eight LEDs 4045 on the left side of the lower row, and the normal symbol first indicator 62 is composed of three LEDs 4045 on the right side of the round number indicator 66. 65 is composed of two LEDs 4045 from the right side of the lower row. The number and arrangement of the plurality of LEDs 4045 in each display are not limited to the above.

  As shown in FIG. 86, the first display substrate 4200 is provided with a connector 4100 on the rear surface opposite to the surface on which the LED 4045 is mounted, and via a harness (not shown) connected to the connector 4100. The first game information display device 59 and the main control board 101 are electrically connected. The connector 4100 is a so-called jack in which a plug provided at the end of the harness is detachable, and may be in a male terminal shape or a female terminal shape. The connector 4100 may be through-hole mounting in which the lead of the connector 4100 is fixed to the hole of the printed circuit board, but in this embodiment, is surface-mounted on the rear surface of the first display substrate 4200. In addition, connector 4100 has a connector opening into which a plug provided at an end of the harness is inserted toward the rear in FIG. Thus, the main body of the connector 4100 and the solder for fixing the connector 4100 to the first display substrate 4200 are on the same rear surface of the first display substrate 4200. That is, the first display substrate 4200 has no front surface protruding leads for connecting the connector 4100 to a circuit, and no solder for fixing the connector 4100 is disposed on the front surface. Thus, by mounting the connector 4100 on the first display substrate 4200, the arrangement space of the connector 4100 on the first display substrate 4200 can be reduced, and the first display substrate 4200 can be made more compact. be able to.

  The connector 4100 is disposed on the rear surface of the first display substrate 4200 at a position corresponding to the mounting area of the plurality of LEDs 4045 mounted on the surface of the first display substrate 4200. That is, the mounting area of the plurality of LEDs 4045 and the connector 4100 overlap with the first display substrate 4200 sandwiched between the front and back sides. In this way, by mounting the connector 4100 on the rear surface of the first display substrate 4200, the mounting of the connector 4100 does not affect the front surface of the first display substrate 4200 as in the case of through-hole mounting. Accordingly, the first display substrate 4200 can be provided with the connector 4100 on the rear surface corresponding to the mounting area where the plurality of LEDs 4045 are mounted on the front surface, and the front surface and the rear surface of the first display substrate 4200 are effectively provided. By using this, the first display substrate 4200 can be made more compact.

  As shown in FIG. 86, a chip-type resistor 4500 as current limiting means is mounted on the rear surface of the first display substrate 4200. In this embodiment, the plurality of resistors 4500 do not overlap the connector 4100. They are arranged side by side. The resistor 4500 may be through-hole mounting in which the lead of the resistor 4500 is fixed to the hole of the printed circuit board, but in this embodiment, is mounted on the surface of the first display substrate 4200. In the first display substrate 4200, the resistor 4500 and the solder for fixing the resistor 4500 to the first display substrate 4200 are on the same rear surface of the first display substrate 4200. That is, the lead for connecting the resistor 4500 to the circuit does not protrude from the front surface of the first display substrate 4200, and the solder for fixing the resistor 4500 is not disposed on the front surface. In the present embodiment, the plurality of resistors 4500 are arranged side by side in the upper region of the first display substrate 4200. As shown in FIG. 88, the resistor 4500 is disposed between the connector 4100 and the plurality of LEDs 4045 in the circuit of the first display substrate 4200, and restricts the current flowing through the plurality of LEDs 4045 to be a predetermined value or less. This prevents an excessive current from flowing through each LED 4045.

  Thus, by mounting the resistor 4500 on the first display substrate 4200, even if the resistor 4500 breaks down, the first game information display device 59 can be replaced, and maintenance can be performed. It becomes easy. Since the exchange of the first game information display device 59 can be easily performed, it is possible to shorten the game pause period and avoid impairing the interest of the game. Further, by mounting the resistor 4500 on the first display substrate 4200, the arrangement space of the resistor 4500 in the first display substrate 4200 can be reduced, and the first display substrate 4200 can be made more compact. it can.

  The resistor 4500 may be disposed on the rear surface of the first display substrate 4200 at a position corresponding to the mounting area of the plurality of LEDs 4045 mounted on the front surface of the first display substrate 4200. In this case, the mounting region of the plurality of LEDs 4045 and the mounting region of the plurality of resistors 4500 may have either a configuration in which the first display substrate 4200 is sandwiched in the front and back or a configuration in which they partially overlap. In this manner, by mounting the resistor 4500 on the rear surface of the first display substrate 4200, the mounting of the resistor 4500 does not affect the front surface of the first display substrate 4200 as in the case of through-hole mounting. Accordingly, in the first display substrate 4200, the resistor 4500 can be disposed on the rear surface corresponding to the mounting area where the plurality of LEDs 4045 are mounted on the front surface, and the front surface and the rear surface of the first display substrate 4200 are effectively provided. By using this, the first display substrate 4200 can be made more compact. Note that the mounting area of the plurality of LEDs 4045 and the mounting area of the plurality of resistors 4500 may not overlap each other with the first display substrate 4200 sandwiched between the front and back surfaces.

  As shown in FIGS. 82 and 83, the first cover member 4202 includes a front cover portion 4208 in which windows 4206 corresponding to the respective LEDs 4045 mounted on the surface of the first display substrate 4200 are formed, and a front cover portion. A lateral cover portion 4210 is provided at the periphery of 4208 so as to rise to the rear side. The first cover member 4202 is formed in a box shape opened rearward by the front cover portion 4208 and the lateral cover portion 4210, and is provided for the first display in an inner region surrounded by the front cover portion 4208 and the lateral cover portion 4210. The substrate 4200 can be stored. When the first display substrate 4200 is stored in the inner region of the first cover member 4202, the first display substrate 4200 is closer to the front cover portion 4208 side than the open end (rear end) of the lateral cover portion 4210 ( Positioned on the front side, the entire first display substrate 4200 is accommodated in the inner region of the first cover member 4202. In other words, the first cover member 4202 covers the front surface of the first display substrate 4200 on which the LED 4045 is mounted with the front cover portion 4208, and covers the peripheral surface of the first display substrate 4200 with the horizontal cover portion 4210. The presence of the one cover member 4202 makes it difficult to access the front surface and the peripheral surface of the first display substrate 4200 from the outside. In the first cover member 4202 of this embodiment, the inner region is formed to match a part of the outer edge of the first display substrate 4200, and when the first display substrate 4200 is stored in the inner region, the lateral cover portion 4210. Since the peripheral surface of the first display substrate 4200 is in contact with the inner surface, the first display substrate 4200 can be held without being displaced.

  As described above, since the first display substrate 4200 is disposed in the state of being accommodated in the first cover member 4202, it is difficult to access the first display substrate 4200 from the front side or the lateral side, and the first display substrate 4200 is used. Unauthorized acts on the substrate 4200 can be prevented. Further, even if it is attempted to remove the first display substrate 4200, it is difficult to access the first display substrate 4200 as described above, and therefore the first display substrate 4200 is removed from the first cover member 4202. Can be difficult.

  As shown in FIGS. 82 and 87, the first cover member 4202 has a window 4206 penetrating the front cover portion 4208 in the front-rear direction corresponding to the LED 4045 by a window defining portion 4212 formed in the front cover portion 4208. It is defined. The window 4206 may be provided corresponding to each of the plurality of LEDs 4045 (this embodiment), or may be provided so as to correspond to two or more predetermined number of LEDs 4045 among the plurality of LEDs 4045. The window 4206 has a polygonal shape such as a quadrangle or a circular shape, and is formed larger than the outer shape of the corresponding LED 4045 so that the corresponding one or more LEDs 4045 are entirely inside. In the first cover member 4202, the windows 4206 are formed in two rows. When the first cover member 4202 is disposed in a state of covering the front side of the first display substrate 4200, each window 4206 corresponds to each LED 4045. The LED 4045 facing each window 4206 can be visually recognized through the window 4206.

  As shown in FIGS. 82 and 87, the first cover member 4202 penetrates the front cover portion 4208 back and forth, partitions a window 4206 formed corresponding to the LED 4045, and the state of the LED 4045 corresponding to the window 4206 is changed. Each window 4206 has a window defining unit 4212 configured to be distinguishable. The window defining part 4212 is formed in a cylindrical shape projecting rearward from the front cover part 4208 (this embodiment), and a part corresponding to the front side of the mounting area of the LED 4045 in the front cover part 4208 is thickly formed. It is provided depending on the configuration. In the case where the window defining portion 4212 is formed of a cylindrical body, the window defining portions 4212 may be separated from each other and independent, or a part of the adjacent window defining portions 4212 may be integrated. . Between the front side opening of the window 4206 facing the front side and the rear side opening of the window 4206 facing the corresponding LED 4045, for example, the thickness of the side cover part 4210 or the thickness of the first display substrate 4200 is equal to or greater than the plate thickness. A long distance is provided, and the window defining unit 4212 functions as a light guide unit that guides the light emitted from the LED 4045 to prevent the light from diffusing. In other words, a configuration in which a gap is formed between the front cover portion 4208 and the front surface of the first display substrate 4200, or a portion corresponding to the LED 4045 on the front surface of the front cover portion 4208 is configured to protrude forward, By the window defining unit 4212 that defines the window 4206, the light of the LED 4045 can be guided to the front without any leakage.

  As shown in FIG. 87, the first cover member 4202 is combined with the first display substrate 4200 so that the window defining portion 4212 faces the front surface of the first display substrate 4200. The entire circumference of the LED 4045 mounted on the front surface is individually surrounded by the window defining unit 4212. In the present embodiment, the rear end of the window defining part 4212 formed in a cylindrical shape is in contact with the front surface of the first display substrate 4200, and the adjacent LED 4045 is partitioned by the window defining part 4212. The first cover member 4202 and the first display substrate 4200 are configured such that the window defining portion 4212 of the first cover member 4202 and the front surface of the first display substrate 4200 are in contact with each other and the rear surface of the front cover portion 4208. The first display substrate 4200 is basically configured so as to have a gap between it and the surface of the first display substrate 4200. Thus, since the LED 4045 corresponding to the window 4206 is surrounded by the window defining unit 4212 that defines the window 4206, the light emitted from the LED 4045 does not diffuse and the state of the LED 4045 through the window 4206 is not diffused. Can be more easily identified. Further, since the rear end of the window defining portion 4212 is in contact with the front surface of the first display substrate 4200, and the gap between the front cover portion 4208 and the first display substrate 4200 is blocked, light passes through the gap. Leakage into the window 4206 can be prevented, and the state of the LED 4045 can be clearly distinguished. In addition, even if an unauthorized tool is intruded through the window 4206, the unauthorized tool can be blocked only by the window forming unit 4212 in the window 4206, and the illegal act can be prevented more appropriately. Note that the window defining unit 4212 may face the rear end (rear surface) and the front surface of the first display substrate 4200 so as to have a slight gap.

  As shown in FIG. 87, the first cover member 4202 includes a protruding alignment portion 4600 that protrudes rearward from the rear surface of the front cover portion 4208. The alignment portion 4600 is formed integrally with the window defining portion 4212 so as to protrude rearward from the rear surface of the window defining portion 4212 facing the front surface of the first display substrate 4200. The alignment unit 4600 is configured to fit into a substrate hole 4400 (see FIG. 85) formed in the first display substrate 4200 and to align the first display substrate 4200 with respect to the first cover member 4202. ing. In the first cover member 4202, a plurality of alignment portions 4600 are arranged in a distributed manner on the rear surface of the front cover portion 4208 so as to be separated from each other. Among the plurality of alignment portions 4600, there may be one formed apart from the window defining portion 4212. Each alignment portion 4600 is formed in a cylindrical shape. The alignment portion 4600 protrudes rearward from the rear surface of the window defining portion 4212, but its rear end is positioned in front of the rear end of the horizontal cover portion 4210 and is accommodated inside the first cover member 4202. .

  The first display substrate 4200 includes a substrate hole 4400 formed so as to penetrate in the plate thickness direction, and the substrate hole 4400 is also formed in a circle in accordance with the columnar alignment portion 4600. The substrate hole 4400 is set to have the same or slightly larger opening size as the outer shape of the alignment portion 4600. The alignment portion 4600 and the substrate hole 4400 are provided so as to correspond in number, position, and the like. The alignment portion 4600 is fitted into the substrate hole 4400, and the first display substrate is formed in the inner region of the first cover member 4202. 4200 relative positions are defined. Therefore, the first cover member 4202 and the first display substrate 4200 are assembled in a state where they are positioned vertically and horizontally by fitting the alignment portion 4600 and the substrate hole 4400.

  As described above, the first cover member 4202 and the first display substrate 4200 are assembled in a state of being aligned with each other by fitting the alignment portion 4600 and the substrate hole 4400. The window 4206 can be aligned with no deviation, and the state of the LED 4045 can be identified more suitably. Further, since the alignment unit 4600 is formed integrally with the window defining unit 4212 and is reinforced by the window defining unit 4212, the alignment unit 4600 may be configured to protrude rearward from the window defining unit 4212. Can be avoided. By forming the alignment portion 4600 integrally with the window defining portion 4212, the projecting dimension can be shortened, and breakage or deformation of the alignment portion 4600 can be more preferably avoided.

  As shown in FIG. 86, the first display substrate 4200 includes a plurality of substrate holes 4400 formed so as to sandwich the connector 4100. The first cover member 4202 is provided with an alignment portion 4600 corresponding to each of the plurality of substrate holes 4400 so as to sandwich the connector 4100 mounted on the first display substrate 4200. More specifically, the first display substrate 4200 has a pair of substrate holes 4400 arranged in a symmetrical positional relationship with the connector 4100 sandwiched in the left and right (this embodiment), up and down, or diagonal directions. A pair of alignment portions 4600 are provided in the first cover member 4202 corresponding to each of the pair of substrate holes 4400. As described above, in the first game information display device 59, the alignment structure including the alignment portion 4600 and the board hole 4400 into which the first game information display device 59 is fitted is not unevenly distributed only in the region on one side of the connector 4100, but sandwiches the connector 4100. Dispersed in the regions on both sides.

  In the first game information display device 59, the alignment structure of the first cover member 4202 and the first display substrate 4200 by the alignment portion 4600 and the substrate hole 4400 into which the alignment portion 4600 is fitted is provided in the regions on both sides of the connector 4100. They are distributed. The connector 4100 is a portion to which a force is applied when the plug of the harness is attached / detached. However, the first display substrate 4200 can be prevented from being displaced by the alignment structure arranged with the connector 4100 interposed therebetween.

  As shown in FIG. 84, the protection member 4204 has a plate shape, and a connector opening 4300 penetrating in the front and back direction is formed in accordance with the connector 4100 protruding from the rear surface of the first display substrate 4200. The connector opening 4300 is formed according to the outer shape of the connector 4100 so that there is no large gap between the connector opening 4300 and the connector 4100 passed through the connector opening 4300. The protective member 4204 covers the first display substrate 4200 accommodated in the first cover member 4202 in a state where at least part of the rear surface covers the rear surface of the first display substrate 4200 from the outside so as to be difficult to access. The cover member 4202 (this embodiment) or the first display substrate 4200 is attached. The protective member 4204 is disposed so as to fit inside the first cover member 4202, and is disposed behind the first display substrate 4200 housed inside the first cover member 4202. The protection member 4204 of this embodiment is formed in an outer shape that matches the inner region of the first cover member 4202 defined by the lateral cover portion 4210. When the protective member 4204 is housed in the inner region of the first cover member 4202, the peripheral surface of the protective member 4204 is in contact with the inner surface of the horizontal cover portion 4210, and the protective member 4204 is held so as not to be displaced vertically and horizontally. . When the protective member 4204 is housed in the inner region of the first cover member 4202, the position where the rear surface of the protective member 4204 is aligned with the open end (rear end) of the lateral cover portion 4210 or the front cover portion beyond the open end. Arranged on the 4208 side (front side), the entire protection member 4204 is housed in the inner region of the first cover member 4202.

  As described above, since the rear side of the first display substrate 4200 is covered with the protective member 4204, it is difficult to access the first display substrate 4200 from the rear, and illegal acts on the first display substrate 4200 are prevented. Can be prevented. Further, the presence of the protective member 4204 makes it difficult to remove the first display substrate 4200 from the first cover member 4202. Here, since the protection member 4204 is housed in the inner region of the first cover member 4202, it is difficult to remove the protection member 4204 itself by being obstructed by the first cover member 4202.

  As shown in FIG. 82, the first cover member 4202 and the protection member 4204 are assembled with a concave and convex fitting structure, and after the first cover member 4202 and the protective member 4204 are assembled, it is difficult to remove, reassemble, or disassemble the first cover. Any one of the member 4202 and the protective member 4204 is configured to leave a trace of removal. The fitting structure is such that a claw-like engagement portion 4214 provided on one of the first cover member 4202 and the protection member 4204 (the protection member 4204 in this embodiment) is connected to the first cover member 4202 and the protection member 4204. The first cover member 4202 and the protection member 4204 are fitted into an engagement receiving portion 4216 provided on the other (the first cover member 4202 in this embodiment), and the engagement portion 4214 and the engagement receiving portion 4216 are caught. It is integrated. The fitting structure is provided at a plurality of locations corresponding to the first cover member 4202 and the protection member 4204, and is distributed on the opposite sides of the first cover member 4202 and the protection member 4204 across the first display substrate 4200. Is provided.

  As shown in FIGS. 82 and 83, the first cover member 4202 is provided with an engagement receiving portion 4216 in the lateral cover portion 4210. The engagement receiving portion 4216 is provided on the open end side of the lateral cover portion 4210 so as to form an opening edge on the rear side of the engagement opening formed so as to penetrate the lateral cover portion 4210. The lateral cover part 4210 is formed in a concave shape with the front part opened outward from the engagement opening to have a thin plate thickness, and an engagement receiving part 4216 is constructed over the opening side of the concave part. That is, in the present embodiment, the engagement receiving portion 4216 is provided with a plate thickness that is thinner than the plate thickness of the lateral cover portion 4210 so that the inside is recessed, and the engagement portion 4214 is easily fitted.

  As shown in FIGS. 82 and 83, the protective member 4204 is provided with an engaging portion 4214 that protrudes from the outer edge along the plate surface of the protective member 4204. The width of the engagement portion 4214 and the width of the engagement receiving portion 4216 (engagement opening) are set substantially the same, and the thickness in the front-rear direction of the engagement portion 4214 and the dimension in the front-rear direction of the engagement opening are When the engagement portion 4214 is fitted to the engagement receiving portion 4216, the engagement portion 4214 hits the opening edge of the engagement opening and is positioned. The engaging portion 4214 has an inclined surface such as an arc shape or a flat surface that is inclined backward as the front surface approaches the protruding end, and the rear surface is a flat surface along the rear surface of the protection member 4204. In other words, the engaging portion 4214 extends so that the front surface obliquely intersects with the engagement receiving portion 4216, and the rear surface intersects with the engagement receiving portion 4216 in an orthogonal or nearly orthogonal relationship. It is extended. Accordingly, when the engaging portion 4214 is fitted to the engaging receiving portion 4216, the first cover member 4202 is elastically deformed so as to be expanded by the inclination of the front surface of the engaging portion 4214 that hits the engaging receiving portion 4216, thereby engaging the engaging portion 4214. The engagement portion 4214 can be easily fitted into the engagement opening over the receiving portion 4216. When the engaging portion 4214 fits into the engaging opening, the engaging portion 4214 is caught by the engaging receiving portion 4216 and the rearward movement of the engaging portion 4214 is prevented. Here, when the engaging portion 4214 and the engaging receiving portion 4216 are fitted, the rear surface of the engaging portion 4214 and the engaging receiving portion 4216 are hooked to face each other, so that the engaging portion 4214 is engaged. The first cover member 4202 is not guided to be expanded by the engaging portion 4214 like when the engagement receiving portion 4216 is fitted. Therefore, the protection member 4204 cannot be substantially detached from the first cover member 4202 by fitting the engagement portion 4214 into the engagement receiving portion 4216.

  Thus, according to the fitting structure of the engaging portion 4214 and the engaging receiving portion 4216, it is difficult to remove the protective member 4204 from the first cover member 4202, and the first display substrate 4200 is attached by the protective member 4204. It is possible to protect and prevent an illegal act on the first display substrate 4200. In addition, when the engaging portion 4214 or the engaging receiving portion 4216 is destroyed and the protective member 4204 is forcibly removed from the first cover member 4202, there is a trace that the engaging receiving portion 4216 is broken on the first cover member 4202. The remaining trace of the destruction of the engaging portion 4214 remains in the protection member 4204, and it is easy to find out that there has been an illegal act. Furthermore, when the protective member 4204 is forcibly removed from the first cover member 4202, at least one of the engaging portion 4214 or the engaging receiving portion 4216 is broken, and the protective member 4204 is attached to the first cover member 4202 again. Cannot be reassembled.

  The first game information display device 59 of this embodiment is configured such that the first cover member 4202 and the protective member 4204 are difficult to remove, difficult to reassemble, and leave traces. Accordingly, the first display substrate 4200 disposed between the first cover member 4202 and the protection member 4204 is substantially difficult to remove from the first cover member 4202, and the first display member 4202 is not easily removed from the first cover member 4202. The reassembly is difficult and the removal mark remains on the first cover member 4202. With such a configuration, it is possible to prevent fraudulent acts on the first display substrate 4200 and to easily detect even if there are fraudulent acts.

  As shown in FIGS. 82 and 83, an identification means 4220 that can identify the light emission modes of the plurality of LEDs 4045 individually or as a combination of the light emission modes of two or more LEDs 4045 is disposed on the front side of the first cover member 4202. . The identification means 4220 is provided on the front side of the window 4206, and is provided around the transmissive part 4222 as a first region that can transmit light or affects the transmitted light, and is provided around the transmissive part 4222. Is also provided with a shielding portion 4224 as a second region that hardly transmits light. Moreover, the identification means 4220 may be provided with the combination area | region 4226 (FIG. 80) which is displayed on the shielding part 4224 and shows the light emission mode of 2 or more LED4045 as a combination. The identification unit 4220 of this embodiment is formed in a sheet shape and is attached to the front surface of the first cover member 4202. The identification means 4220 is preferably formed in a shape that matches the front area of the first cover member 4202 where the window 4206 opens. In this embodiment, the identification means 4220 is formed so as to cover the entire front surface of the first cover member 4202. Has been. In this embodiment, the identification unit 4220 and the first cover member 4202 are bonded, but the size of the identification unit 4220 and the method of attaching to the first cover member 4202 are not limited thereto.

  The transmissive part 4222 of the present embodiment is located on the front side of the window 4206 of the first cover member 4202 so that the light emitted from the LED 4045 corresponding to the window 4206 can be transmitted and affects the transmitted light. It has become. The transmissive portion 4222 is provided so as to cover the entire front opening of the window 4206, and the transmissive portion 4222 on the front side of the window 4206 prevents the LED 4045 disposed on the opening of the window 4206 and the inside of the window 4206 from being directly visible from the front side. It is. Here, “influence on light” means, for example, an aspect that makes the LED 4045 difficult to visually recognize by being translucent, an aspect that colors the light emitted from the LED 4045 by being colored, A mode in which the light emitted from the LED 4045 is diffused and the light emitted from the LED 4045 is converged and a mode in which the light is emitted from the LED 4045 is combined, or a mode in which these are combined. Light is diffused by the transmission part 4222. The transmission part 4222 is configured as a part of a sheet attached to the front surface of the first cover member 4202, and is arranged according to the plurality of windows 4206 provided in the first cover member 4202. The plurality of transmission parts 4222 are identification means. 4220. That is, the identification means 4220 is formed with a transmission part 4222 having a square shape matching the window 4206 and the same size as the window 4206, and the transmission part 4222 closes the front opening of the window 4206.

  Thus, since the front side of the window 4206 is blocked by the transmission part 4222, it is difficult to access the LED 4045 mounted on the surface of the first display substrate 4200 from the front side of the first game information display device 59. Can do. That is, the transmissive portion 4222 can prevent an illegal act from being performed on the first display substrate 4200 through the window 4206 that penetrates to the inside of the first cover member 4202. In addition, since the light emitted from the LED 4045 can be adjusted by the transmissive portion 4222, the state of the LED 4045 can be more easily identified, and the state of the adjacent LEDs 4045 can be easily distinguished.

  Around the transmissive portion 4222, there is provided a shielding portion 4224 configured such that light is less likely to pass than the transmissive portion 4222 that covers the window 4206. In other words, on the front side of the first cover member 4202, the shielding part 4224 is disposed so as to surround the window 4206. The shielding part 4224 is provided so as to surround the entire circumference of the transmission part 4222, and in this embodiment, a part other than the transmission part 4222 is configured in one sheet constituting the identification means 4220. The shielding part 4224 is arranged so as to overlap with the area other than the window 4206 on the front surface of the front cover part 4208 of the first cover member 4202, and does not cover the inside of the window 4206. The shielding unit 4224 is composed of a dark color such as a color that absorbs light of a wide wavelength such as black or a cold color such as amber, or the like, and has a low degree of brightness (absorbs light well). Is different.

  Thus, since the shielding part 4224 that is difficult to transmit light is provided around the transmissive part 4222, the transmissive part 4222 can be easily understood, and the situation of the LED 4045 recognized through the transmissive part 4222 is further improved. It becomes easy to distinguish. Even if the window 4206 and the transmission portion 4222 are misaligned, it is difficult to understand that the window 4206 is not visible because it cannot be seen directly. Moreover, if the transmissive portion 4222 is placed on the window 4206, the transmissive portion 4222 surrounded by the shielding portion 4224 shines, so that the influence on the identification of the LED 4045 can be reduced.

  In addition, the shielding part 4224 is not limited to the configuration in which the transmission part 4222 is set to the same sheet, and the front surface of the front cover part 4208 of the first cover member 4202 is set as the shielding part 4224 so that the transparent part of the sheet Alternatively, other configurations such as a configuration in which the shielding portion 4224 appears on the front side by disposing the sheet on the front side of the shielding portion 4224 may be used.

  As shown in FIG. 80, the combination area 4226 is partitioned by a partition mark 4228 made up of a frame line (this embodiment) displayed on the shielding part 4224. The division mark 4228 is displayed so as to surround the plurality of transmission parts 4222, and the combination area 4226 surrounded by the division mark 4228 can be recognized separately from other areas. For example, the first and second special symbol first indicators 60 and 61, the first and second special symbol hold first indicators 63 and 64, the high probability gaming state indicator 68, the short-time gaming state indicator 69, the right-handed In the first indicator 67, the round number indicator 66, the normal symbol first indicator 62, and the normal symbol hold first indicator 65, a plurality of LEDs 4045 (transmission portion 4222) among them constitute the indicator. For a thing, a group of transmission parts 4222 corresponding to the display is surrounded by a division mark 4228 to form a combination area 4226 corresponding to each display. In addition, the division label 4228 is not limited to the form of the frame line, and may have any configuration that can recognize that it is distinguished from other areas, such as adding characters or changing the color in the combination area 4226. .

  As shown in FIG. 80, specifically, the transmission area 4222 corresponding to the six LEDs 4045 on the left side of the upper row is surrounded by the division mark 4228, and the combination area 4226 corresponding to the first special symbol first display 60 is displayed. To do. A transmissive portion 4222 corresponding to the six LEDs 4045 in the upper row is surrounded by a section mark 4228, and a combination area 4226 corresponding to the second special symbol first display 61 is displayed. A transmissive portion 4222 corresponding to two LEDs 4045 arranged between the first special symbol first indicator 60 and the second special symbol first indicator 61 is surrounded by a division mark 4228, and the first special symbol reservation unit A combination area 4226 corresponding to one display 63 is displayed. A transmissive portion 4222 corresponding to the two LEDs 4045 on the right side of the second special symbol first display 61 is surrounded by a partition mark 4228, and a combination area 4226 corresponding to the second special symbol holding first indicator 64 is displayed. In addition, the transmissive part 4222 corresponding to the eight LEDs 4045 on the left side of the lower row is surrounded by the division mark 4228, and the combination area 4226 corresponding to the round number display 66 is displayed. A transmissive part 4222 corresponding to the three LEDs 4045 on the right side of the round number display 66 is surrounded by a section mark 4228, and a combination area 4226 corresponding to the normal symbol first display 62 is displayed. A transmissive part 4222 corresponding to the two LEDs 4045 from the right side of the lower row is surrounded by a section mark 4228, and a combination area 4226 corresponding to the normal symbol holding first display 65 is displayed.

  Thus, by displaying the combination area 4226, the state of the LED 4045 in the area is recognized in association with each other, and the player can easily recognize information by the combination of the LED 4045.

  As shown in FIG. 83, the identification means 4220 is arranged to overlap the first layer 4230 on the front side of the region other than the window 4206 in the first cover member 4202 and the first layer 4230 which is easy to transmit light. And a second layer 4232 that is less likely to transmit light than 4230. In other words, the portion corresponding to the transmissive portion 4222 is configured only by the first layer 4230 that transmits light, and the portion corresponding to the shielding portion 4224 that is difficult to transmit light is between the first layer 4230 and the second layer 4232. It is composed of laminated parts. Since the stacked portion includes the second layer 4232, it is difficult to transmit light as a whole and prevents light from being transmitted from the shielding portion 4224. Here, in the stacked portion, the first layer 4230 is disposed on the first cover member 4202 side (rear side), and the second layer 4232 is disposed on the front side (front side). The identification unit 4220 is obtained by, for example, laminating the second layer 4232 on a sheet formed of the first layer 4230 by painting, printing, or the like, and there is a level difference that can be visually recognized between the transmission part 4222 and the shielding part 4224. Absent.

  When the first game information display device 59 is attached to the plate member of the game board 2, the connector 4100 on the rear surface is exposed to the rear side of the game board 2. The first game information display device 59 can be attached to and detached from the connector 4100 in a state where the first game information display device 59 is attached to the plate member of the game board 2, and is easy to use.

  As the first cover member 4202, the front cover portion 4208, the side cover portion 4210, the window defining portion 4212, the engagement receiving portion 4216, the alignment portion 4600, and the like are integrally formed of a thermoplastic resin or the like. Molded products made of synthetic resin are used. In addition, as the protection member 4204, a molded product made of a synthetic resin such as a thermoplastic resin in which each part such as the engagement part 4214 is integrally formed is used.

  Note that the first display substrate 4200 is bonded to the first cover member 4202 by welding or bonding the first display substrate 4200 to the first cover member 4202 in a state where the surface is covered with the first cover member 4202. On the other hand, it may be attached in a state where it is difficult to remove, reassemble, or leave a trace of removal.

(Modification of the first game information display device 59)
Next, a modified example of the first game information display device 59 will be described. Here, differences from the first game information display device 59 described above will be mainly described, and description of similar configurations will be basically omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 89, the first game information display device 59 is disposed on the rear side of the covering member 4800 installed on the game board 2, and the front side is covered with the covering member 4800. The covering member 4800 is a member that functions to close or fill the front and rear regions on the front side of the game board 2, and is composed of a plate portion constituting the front surface and a wall portion extending rearward from the outer peripheral edge of the plate portion. It is in the shape of a box that opens to the center (FIG. 90). Here, the “front-rear area” is an area that can be provided to provide a game area 2A through which a game ball passes on the front side of the plate member of the game board 2. The covering member 4800 is disposed so that the front surface thereof is substantially the same as the front ends of the inner rail member 29B and the outer rail member 29C, and is disposed outside the outer rail member 29C (game area 2A) as in the present embodiment. Sometimes doubles as a board decoration. In the case where the first game information display device 59 is arranged inside the game area 2A, one of the game parts installed in the game area 2A, such as the first start port 6, the second start port 7, and the big prize port 8, is provided. The part may be constituted by a covering member 4800.

  The covering member 4800 is configured so that the portion covering the front side of the first game information display device 59 is transparent or translucent, or has an opening corresponding to the window 4206 of the first game information display device 59. The state of the LED 4045 can be visually recognized through the window 4206. The covering member 4800 is attached to the plate member of the game board 2 so as to be replaceable by screwing or the like. The first game information display device 59 is attached to the covering member 4800 so as to be housed inside the covering member 4800. At this time, the first game information display device 59 has a back surface facing the back side of the game board 2 (plate member) and a connector 4100 (FIG. 93), which will be described later, provided so as to face the back side. 2 can be accessed from the back side. As described above, the covering member 4800 can be attached to and detached from the plate member with the first game information display device 59 attached, and the covering member 4800 can be changed according to the exchange of the first game information display device 59 or the change of the model. The 4800 can be easily replaced.

  Since the first game information display device 59 is covered with the covering member 4800, it is difficult to access from the outside. Even if a fraudulent act is performed, it is possible to save time until it reaches the first display substrate 4200, and it is possible to make fraud more difficult.

  The first game information display device 59 of this embodiment is detachably attached to the covering member 4800 by screwing or the like. Therefore, by removing the covering member 4800 from the plate member, it can be easily replaced when the first game information display device 59 breaks down. The first game information display device 59 is difficult to remove or reassemble from the covering member 4800 by bonding or the like, or when the first game information display device 59 is removed from the covering member 4800, You may attach with the structure in which a trace remains. In other words, the attachment structure of the first game information display device 59 and the covering member 4800 is a structure that is difficult to remove without destroying the covering member 4800 or the first game information display device 59, and the covering member 4800 or the first member by the removal A structure that cannot be assembled as originally due to destruction or deformation of one game information display device 59, or a covering member that is destroyed or deformed by covering member 4800 or first game information display device 59 by removal. 4800 or the first game information display device 59 may have at least one structure in which a trace of removal remains.

  The first game information display device 59 is attached to the covering member 4800, and the light of the LED 4045 is visible from the player via the covering member 4800. Further, the first game information display device 59 has a rear surface facing the back side of the game board 2 (plate member) and a connector 4100 (FIG. 93) provided so as to face the back side, from the back side of the game board 2. It is accessible.

  As shown in FIGS. 97 and 98, in this modification, current limiting means 4500 and 4500 for controlling the current flowing through the plurality of LEDs 4045 are provided on the main control board 101 side. If the first game information display device 59 is electrically connected to the effect control board 102, the current limiting means 4500 and 4500 may be provided on the effect control board 102. As shown in FIG. 97, an excessive current flows through each LED 4045 by mounting a resistor 4500 as current limiting means on the main control board 101 and limiting the current flowing through the plurality of LEDs 4045 to a predetermined value or less. Is preventing. The resistor 4500 may be through-hole mounting in which the lead of the resistor 4500 is fixed to the hole of the printed board, but may be surface-mounted on the main control board 101. As a result, the main control board 101 can effectively use the surface opposite to the mounting surface without the lead for connecting the resistor 4500 to the circuit protruding on the side opposite to the mounting surface of the resistor 4500.

  The resistor 4500 may be disposed on the other surface of the main control board 101 opposite to the surface on which the electrical component is mounted, at a position corresponding to the mounting region of the electrical component. In this case, the mounting area of the plurality of resistors 4500 and the mounting area of the electronic component may be either entirely overlapped or partially overlapped with the main control board 101 interposed therebetween. By mounting the resistor 4500 on one surface of the main control board 101, the mounting of the resistor 4500 does not affect the front surface of the first display substrate 4200 like through-hole mounting. In this way, the main control board 101 can be made more compact by effectively using both sides of the main control board 101.

  As shown in FIG. 98, the current limiting means 4500 may be provided as a driver 5600 on the main control board 101. The current limiting unit 4500 prevents the excessive current from flowing through each LED 4045 by limiting the current flowing through the plurality of LEDs 4045 to be a predetermined value or less. Thus, by providing the current limiting means 4500 and 4500 on the main control board 101 side, the resistance of the first display board 4200 can be eliminated or reduced, so that the first display board 4200 can be made more compact. The first game information display device 59 can be downsized.

  As shown in FIGS. 94, 95, and 96, when the first display substrate 4200 is stored in the inner region of the first cover member 4202, the first display substrate 4200 is opened at the open end of the horizontal cover portion 4210. The entire first display substrate 4200 is accommodated in the inner region of the first cover member 4202 at a position (this embodiment) aligned with the (rear end) or on the front cover portion 4208 side (front side) with respect to the open end. The In other words, the first cover member 4202 covers the front surface of the first display substrate 4200 on which the LED 4045 is mounted with the front cover portion 4208, and covers the peripheral surface of the first display substrate 4200 with the horizontal cover portion 4210. The presence of the one cover member 4202 makes it difficult to access the front surface and the peripheral surface of the first display substrate 4200 from the outside. In the first cover member 4202 of this embodiment, the inner region is formed to match a part of the outer edge of the first display substrate 4200, and when the first display substrate 4200 is stored in the inner region, the lateral cover portion 4210. Since the peripheral surface of the first display substrate 4200 is in contact with the inner surface, the first display substrate 4200 can be held without being displaced.

  As described above, since the first display substrate 4200 is disposed in the state of being accommodated in the first cover member 4202, it is difficult to access the first display substrate 4200 from the front side or the lateral side, and the first display substrate 4200 is used. Unauthorized acts on the substrate 4200 can be prevented. Further, even if it is attempted to remove the first display substrate 4200, it is difficult to access the first display substrate 4200 as described above, and therefore the first display substrate 4200 is removed from the first cover member 4202. Can be difficult.

  As shown in FIG. 94, the first cover member 4202 and the first display substrate 4200 are assembled by an engagement structure in which the alignment portion 4600 is melted and engaged with the first display substrate 4200. Are configured such that when they are difficult to remove from each other, difficult to reassemble, or disassembled, traces of removal remain on either the first cover member 4202 or the first display substrate 4200. Specifically, when the alignment portion 4600 and the substrate hole 4400 are fitted together, the tip of the alignment portion 4600 protruding from the rear surface of the first display substrate 4200 is melted to be larger than the substrate hole 4400. By crushing in this way, the latching portion 4600a is formed at the tip of the alignment portion 4600. The first display substrate 4200 is sandwiched between the rear end of the window defining part 4212 and the hooking part 4600a of the alignment part 4600 and fixed to the first cover member 4202.

  Thus, according to the engagement structure described above, it is difficult to remove the first display substrate 4200 from the first cover member 4202, and the first display member 4200 is protected by the first cover member 4202, and the first display substrate 4200 is protected. Unauthorized acts on one display substrate 4200 can be prevented. In addition, when the first display board 4200 is forcibly removed from the first cover member 4202 by destroying the latching portion 4600a, the trace of the latching portion 4600a is left on the first cover member 4202, and fraudulent behavior is caused. It will be easier to discover that there was. Further, when the first display substrate 4200 is forcibly removed from the first cover member 4202, the latching portion 4600a is broken and the first display substrate 4200 cannot be reattached to the first cover member 4202. It becomes difficult to reassemble.

  As shown in FIGS. 94 and 95, on the front side of the first cover member 4202, identification means 4220 that can identify the light emission modes of the plurality of LEDs 4045 as individual or combinations of the light emission modes of two or more LEDs 4045 is arranged. . The identification means 4220 may be an arrangement associated with the display by the LED 4045 or the LED 4045, such as providing only the first cover member 4202, only the covering member 4800, or being distributed in the first cover member 4202 and the covering member 4800. In addition, the identification unit 4220 may be any one of a configuration attached to the front surface or the rear surface of the first cover member 4202 or the covering member 4800, a configuration provided inside the first cover member 4202 or the covering member 4800, and the like. The identification unit 4220 of this embodiment includes a first identification unit 5122 provided on the front surface of the first cover member 4202 and a second identification unit 5124 provided on the front surface of the covering member 4800, and the first identification unit 5122. The second identification part 5124 is arranged so as to overlap the front side. As shown in FIG. 89, the identification unit 4220 includes a third identification unit 4802 provided separately from the second identification unit 5124 on the front surface of the covering member 4800.

  As shown in FIG. 94, the first identification unit 5122 is provided on the front side of the window 4206, and a transmission unit 5126 serving as a first region that can transmit light or influence transmitted light, and the transmission unit 5126 A shielding portion 5128 is provided as a second region that is provided around and is less likely to transmit light than the transmission portion 5126. The first identification unit 5122 of this embodiment is formed in a sheet shape and is attached to the front surface of the first cover member 4202. The first identification unit 5122 is preferably formed in a shape that matches the front surface area of the first cover member 4202 where the window 4206 opens. In this embodiment, the first identification unit 5122 covers the entire front surface of the first cover member 4202. A portion 5122 is formed. In the present embodiment, the first identification unit 5122 and the first cover member 4202 are bonded by the adhesive layer provided on the first identification unit 5122. However, the size of the first identification unit 5122 and the first cover member The attachment method to 4202 is not limited to this. Note that the first identification unit 5122 may include a combination area that indicates combinations of light emission modes of two or more LEDs 4045.

  The transmission part 5126 is located on the front side of the window 4206 of the first cover member 4202 and can transmit light emitted from the LED 4045 corresponding to the window 4206. The transmission part 5126 is provided so as to cover the entire front side opening of the window 4206, and the front side opening of the window 4206 is covered by the transmission part 5126 on the front side of the window 4206. The transmissive portion 5126 may be configured to be transparent, or may be configured to affect the transmitted light so that the LED 4045 disposed inside the window 4206 cannot be directly seen from the front side. Here, “influence on light” means, for example, an aspect that makes the LED 4045 difficult to visually recognize by being translucent, an aspect that colors the light emitted from the LED 4045 by being colored, A mode in which the light emitted from the LED 4045 is diffused and the light emitted from the LED 4045 is converged and a mode in which the light is emitted from the LED 4045 is combined, or a mode in which these are combined. Light is diffused by the transmission portion 5126. The transmission part 5126 is configured as a part of a sheet attached to the front surface of the first cover member 4202, and is arranged in accordance with a plurality of windows 4206 provided in the first cover member 4202, and the plurality of transmission parts 5126 are the first. The identification unit 5122 is provided. That is, the first identifying portion 5122 is formed with a transmissive portion 5126 having a quadrangular shape matching the window 4206 and the same size as the window 4206, and the transmissive portion 5126 closes the front opening of the window 4206 without a gap. .

  As described above, since the front side of the window 4206 is covered with the transmission part 5126, it is difficult to access the LED 4045 mounted on the surface of the first display substrate 4200 from the front side of the first game information display device 59. it can. In other words, the transmission part 5126 can prevent an illegal act from being performed on the first display substrate 4200 through the window 4206 that penetrates to the inside of the first cover member 4202. In addition, since the light emitted from the LED 4045 can be adjusted by the transmissive portion 5126, the state of the LED 4045 can be more easily identified, and the state of the adjacent LEDs 4045 can be easily distinguished.

  Around the transmissive portion 5126, a shielding portion 5128 is provided that is configured to make it more difficult for light to pass through the transmissive portion 5126 that covers the window 4206. In other words, the shielding portion 5128 is disposed so as to surround the window 4206 on the front side of the first cover member 4202. The shielding part 5128 is provided so as to surround the entire circumference of the transmission part 5126, and in this embodiment, a part other than the transmission part 5126 is configured in one sheet constituting the first identification part 5122. The shielding part 5128 is arranged so as to overlap with the area other than the window 4206 on the front surface of the front cover part 4208 of the first cover member 4202, and does not cover the inside of the window 4206. The shielding unit 5128 is composed of a dark color such as a color that absorbs light of a wide wavelength such as black, or a cold color such as amber, or the like, and has a low brightness level (which absorbs light well). Is different.

  Thus, since the shielding part 5128 that is difficult to transmit light is provided around the transmissive part 5126, the transmissive part 5126 can be easily understood, and the situation of the LED 4045 recognized through the transmissive part 5126 is further improved. It becomes easy to distinguish. Even if the window 4206 and the transmission portion 5126 are misaligned, it is difficult to understand that the window 4206 is not visible because it is not directly visible. In addition, if the transmission part 5126 is placed on the window 4206, the transmission part 5126 surrounded by the shielding part 5128 shines, so that the influence on the identification of the LED 4045 can be reduced.

  The shielding unit 5128 is not limited to the configuration in which the transmission unit 5126 is set to the same sheet, and the front surface of the front cover unit 4208 of the first cover member 4202 is set as the shielding unit 5128 so that the transparent portion of the sheet is set. Alternatively, other configurations such as a configuration in which the shielding portion 5128 appears on the front side by disposing the sheet on the front side of the shielding portion 5128 may be used.

  As shown in FIG. 95, the first identification unit 5122 is disposed on the first layer 5130 on the front side of the first cover member 4202 other than the window 4206 on the first layer 5130 that is easy to transmit light. It is in the form of a sheet having a second layer 5131 that is less likely to transmit light than the first layer 5130. In other words, the portion corresponding to the transmission portion 5126 is configured only by the first layer 5130 that transmits light, and the portion corresponding to the shielding portion 5128 that is difficult to transmit light is between the first layer 5130 and the second layer 5131. It is composed of laminated parts. Since the stacked portion includes the second layer 5131, light is difficult to transmit in the stacking direction (thickness direction), and light is prevented from transmitting from the shielding portion 5128. Here, in the stacked portion, the first layer 5130 is disposed on the first cover member 4202 side (rear side), and the second layer 5131 is disposed on the front side (front side). The first identification unit 5122 is obtained by, for example, laminating the second layer 5131 on a sheet made of the first layer 5130 by painting, printing, or the like, and can be visually recognized between the transmission unit 5126 and the shielding unit 5128. There is no step.

  By configuring the first identification portion 5122 in this manner, even if the window 4206 and the transmission portion 5126 are misaligned, light can be guided to the transmission portion 5126 by the first layer 5130, and the shielding portion 5128. Since the transmissive portion 5126 surrounded by the light shines, the influence on the identification of the LED 4045 can be reduced. In addition, in the portion corresponding to the shielding portion 5128, the light incident on the first layer 5130 is blocked by the second layer 5131 on the front side and does not leak to the front side, so that the transmission portion 5126 can be clearly identified.

  As shown in FIGS. 94 and 95, the second identification portion 5124 is located on the front side of the window 4206 and is attached to the covering member 4800. The second identification unit 5124 is provided on the front side of the window 4206, and is provided around the light transmission unit 5132 and the light transmission unit 5132 as a first region that can transmit light or influence the transmitted light. The light-shielding part 5134 as a 2nd area | region which is hard to permeate | transmit light rather than the light transmission part 5132 is provided. In addition, the second identification unit 5124 may include a combination area 4804 that is displayed on the light shielding unit 5134 and indicates the light emission mode of two or more LEDs 4045 as a combination. The second identification portion 5124 of the present embodiment is formed in a sheet shape and is attached to the front surface of the covering member 4800. The second identification unit 5124 is formed in accordance with the range of the plurality of windows 4206, and the front side of the plurality of windows 4206 is covered by one second identification unit 5124. In the present embodiment, the second identification portion 5124 and the covering member 4800 are bonded by the adhesive layer of the second identification portion 5124. It is not limited to this.

  The light passing portion 5132 of the present modification is located on the front side of the window 4206 of the first cover member 4202, and the light emitted from the LED 4045 corresponding to the window 4206 can be transmitted or affects the transmitted light. It is like that. The light passing portion 5132 is provided so as to cover at least the entire front opening of the window 4206, and the state of the LED 4045 can be visually recognized through the window 4206 by the light passing portion 5132 on the front side of the window 4206. The light transmitting portion 5132 of this embodiment is configured to be transparent and formed in a range corresponding to the plurality of windows 4206. Note that the light transmitting unit 5132 may be configured to affect the transmitted light, similarly to the transmitting unit 5126 of the first identifying unit 5122. Then, by adjusting the light emitted from the LED 4045 by the light passing portion 5132, the state of the LED 4045 can be more easily identified, and the state of the adjacent LED 4045 can be easily distinguished.

  Around the light passing portion 5132, there is provided a light blocking portion 5134 configured such that light is less likely to pass than the light passing portion 5132 that covers the window 4206. In other words, the light shielding portion 5134 is disposed so as to surround the window 4206 on the front side of the first cover member 4202. The light shielding portion 5134 is provided so as to surround the entire circumference of the light passing portion 5132, and in this embodiment, a portion other than the light passing portion 5132 is configured in one sheet constituting the second identifying portion 5124. The light shielding portion 5134 is disposed on the front side of the first cover member 4202 so as to overlap with an area other than the window 4206, and does not cover the inside of the window 4206. The light shielding unit 5134 is configured by a dark color with a low degree of brightness (which absorbs light well), such as a color that absorbs light of a wide wavelength such as black, or a cold color such as amber, and the color of the light transmitting unit 5132 Is different.

  As described above, since the light-shielding portion 5134 that is difficult to transmit light is provided around the light-transmitting portion 5132, the light-transmitting portion 5132 can be easily understood, and the LED 4045 recognized through the light-transmitting portion 5132 can be made. The situation becomes easier to distinguish. Further, even if the window 4206 and the light transmitting portion 5132 are misaligned, it can be difficult to understand the misalignment.

  In addition, the light shielding part 5134 is not limited to the configuration in which the light transmitting part 5132 is set to the same sheet, but the front part of the covering member 4800 corresponding to the front side of the window 4206 is set as the light shielding part 5134 so that the transparent part of the sheet Other configurations such as a configuration in which the light shielding portion 5134 appears on the front side by not arranging the sheet via the front side of the light shielding portion 5134 may be used. The covering member 4800 may be provided with an opening corresponding to the window 4206, and the opening may be blocked by the second identification portion 5124 (the light transmitting portion 5132 and / or the light shielding portion 5134).

  The combination area 4804 is partitioned by a partition mark 4806 including a frame line (this embodiment) displayed on the light shielding portion 5134. The division mark 4806 is displayed so as to surround the plurality of light passing portions 5132, and the combination area 4804 surrounded by the division mark 4806 can be recognized separately from other areas. For example, the first and second special symbol first indicators 60 and 61, the first and second special symbol hold first indicators 63 and 64, the high probability gaming state indicator 68, the short-time gaming state indicator 69, the right-handed In the first indicator 67, the round number indicator 66, the ordinary symbol first indicator 62, and the ordinary symbol holding first indicator 65, among them, a plurality of LEDs 4045 (the transmitting portion 5126 or the light transmitting portion 5132) are used. With respect to what constitutes the display device, a group of LEDs 4045 (transmission portion 5126 or light transmission portion 5132) corresponding to the display device is surrounded by a division mark 4806 to form a combination region 4804 corresponding to each display device. Note that the section mark 4806 is not limited to the form of the frame line, and may be any structure that can recognize that it is distinguished from other areas, such as adding characters or changing the color in the combination area 4804. .

  Specifically, the combination area 4804 corresponding to the first special symbol first display 60 is displayed by being surrounded by the division mark 4806 so as to correspond to the six LEDs 4045 on the left side of the upper row. A combination area 4804 corresponding to the second special symbol first display 61 is displayed by being surrounded by a division mark 4806 so as to correspond to the six LEDs 4845 in the upper row. A first special symbol hold first display surrounded by a division mark 4806 so as to correspond to two LEDs 4045 arranged between the first special symbol first indicator 60 and the second special symbol first indicator 61. A combination area 4804 corresponding to the device 63 is displayed. A combination area 4804 corresponding to the second special symbol hold first indicator 64 is displayed by surrounding it with a division mark 4806 so as to correspond to the two LEDs 4045 on the right side of the second special symbol first indicator 61. In addition, a combination area 4804 corresponding to the round number display 66 is displayed by being surrounded by a partition mark 4806 so as to correspond to the eight LEDs 4045 on the left side of the lower row. A combination area 4804 corresponding to the normal symbol first display 62 is displayed by surrounding it with the division mark 4806 so as to correspond to the three LEDs 4045 on the right side of the round number display. A combination area 4804 corresponding to the normal symbol holding first display 65 is displayed by being surrounded by a partition mark 4806 so as to correspond to the two LEDs 4045 from the lower right side.

  Thus, by displaying the combination area 4804, the state of the LED 4045 in the area is recognized in association with each other, and the player can easily recognize information by the combination of the LED 4045.

  As shown in FIG. 95, the second identification unit 5124 is disposed so as to overlap the front side of the first layer 5136 in addition to the first layer 5136 that easily transmits light and the region corresponding to the window 4206. It is in the form of a sheet having a second layer 5138 that is less likely to transmit light than 5136. In other words, the light transmitting portion 5132 corresponding to the window 4206 is configured only by the first layer 5136 that transmits light, and the portions corresponding to the light shielding portion 5134 that is difficult to transmit light are the first layer 5136 and the second layer 5138. It is comprised by the laminated part. Since the stacked portion includes the second layer 5138, it is difficult to transmit light as a whole and prevents light from being transmitted from the light shielding portion 5134. Here, in the stacked portion, the first layer 5136 is disposed on the rear side, and the second layer 5138 is disposed on the front side (front side). The second identification unit 5124 is obtained by, for example, laminating the second layer 5138 on a sheet made of the first layer 5136 by painting, printing, or the like, and is visible between the light transmission unit 5132 and the light shielding unit 5134. There is no step.

  The third identification unit 4802 is an area where various information is displayed, and is attached to the covering member 4800. The third identification portion 4802 is formed in a sheet shape, and is disposed on the front surface of the covering member 4800 at a position different from the second identification portion 5124 (upper side in the present embodiment). In the third identification unit 4802, the displayed information is visible to the player. In the present embodiment, the third identification portion 4802 and the covering member 4800 are bonded by the adhesive layer of the third identification portion 4802. However, the size of the third identification portion 4802, the attachment method to the covering member 4800, etc. It is not limited to this. Further, the information displayed by the third identification unit 4802 may be displayed on the second identification unit 5124 or the first identification unit 5122 or may be displayed separately from the identification unit 4220, and the third identification unit 4802 may be omitted. .

  Thus, by providing the third identification unit 4802, more information can be displayed, and the information displayed on the first game information display device 59 can be more easily understood. Further, by dividing each information and sorting and displaying it on a plurality of identification units 4802, 5122, 5124, it is possible to flexibly cope with changes such as when changing models.

  The identification units 4802, 5122, and 5124 (identification means 4220) may be configured to cover their peripheral surfaces with a protection unit 4808 (FIG. 90). In the present embodiment, a protective portion 4808 is provided on the front surface of the covering member 4800, the peripheral surface of the second identifying portion 5124 attached to the front surface of the covering member 4800, and the third identifying portion attached to the front surface of the covering member 4800. Each peripheral surface of 4802 is covered with a protective portion 4808. Specifically, the protection portion 4808 is configured by a wall extending in the front-rear direction in a recess formed in accordance with the shape of the identification portion 4802, 5124 corresponding to the attachment position of the identification portion 4802, 5124. Yes. Further, the concave portion of the covering member 4800 has a depth approximately equal to the thickness of the identification portions 4802 and 5124. The protective portion 4808 faces the circumferential surface of the identification portions 4802 and 5124 fitted and attached to the concave portions, and the identification portion. The entire peripheries of 4802 and 5124 are surrounded by a protection unit 4808.

  Thus, by covering the peripheral surfaces of the identification units 4802 and 5124 with the protection unit 4808, it is possible to make it difficult for the protection unit 4808 to access the identification units 4802 and 5124. Removal of 4802 and 5124 can be prevented. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent an illegal act such as replacing the identification units 4802 and 5124 or removing the identification units 4802 and 5124 to access the first display substrate 4200. Further, the identification units 4802 and 5124 can be aligned by attaching the identification units 4802 and 5124 to the covering member 4800 with the protection unit 4808 as a reference. In particular, since the second identification unit 5124 overlapping the front side of the window 4206 can be arranged without deviation, the state of the LED 4045 can be more appropriately determined.

  In this modification, the protection unit 4808 is provided corresponding to the entire circumference of the identification units 4802, 5124. The structure provided correspondingly may be sufficient.

  The information displayed by the identification means 4220 is supplemented or explained by information related to profits given to the player in the game (sometimes referred to as game state information in the description) displayed by the first game information display device 59. Game status display, unique display indicating unique information such as model name, probability of gaming machine 1 (for example, 1/299), probability of gaming machine 1 (for example, 60/100), jackpot A specification display indicating specification information such as the number of rounds (for example, 15R, 4R, etc.) may be displayed alone or in combination. In addition, these displays are described by printing or other methods visible to the player.

  For example, as the game state display, as in the embodiment described above, by forming the combination area 4804 surrounded by the division mark 4806, the states of the plurality of LEDs 4045 in the combination area 4804 are associated and recognized as combinations, The game state information displayed by the combination of a plurality of LEDs 4045 may be easily identified and assisted.

  FIG. 91 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the game state display 4810 applied in correspondence with the round number display 66. For example, as shown in FIG. 91 (a), the game status display 4810 has a number of rounds at a position that is known to correspond to the round number display 66, such as a position corresponding to the side of the round number display 66. The pattern which represents the display 66 and the structure which describes the display mode and the number of rounds of LED4045 for every round may be sufficient. The game status display 4810 in FIG. 91A describes the game status information (number of rounds) displayed by the combination of the plurality of LEDs 4045 of the round number display 66. Therefore, by referring to the game status display 4810 in FIG. 91A, it is possible to easily identify the game status information (round number) indicated by the round number display 66.

  Further, as the game status display 4810, a sign such as a number or a symbol is arranged corresponding to the LED 4045 at a position corresponding to the side of the LED 4045 (FIG. 91 (b)) or on the front side (FIG. 91 (c)). The sign may be configured to assist the recognition of the state of the LED 4045 as a combination, or the structure of the LED 4045 may be described. The label may be a color or a shape difference.

  The identification unit 4220 is divided into a first identification unit 5122 provided in the first cover member 4202 and a second identification unit 5124 provided in the covering member 4800 as a configuration corresponding to the front side of the window 4206. Since the functions required for the identification unit 4220 can be assigned to the two identification units 5122 and 5124, the configuration of each identification unit 5122 and 5124 can be simplified. In addition, by assigning and setting the functions required of the identification unit 4220 to the two identification units 5122 and 5124, the state of the LED 4045 can be more clearly distinguished and the state of the LED 4045 can be more easily understood. In addition, by arranging the first identification unit 5122 and the second identification unit 5124 so as to overlap each other, a synergistic effect that is difficult with one sheet can be obtained due to the overlap of the two identification units 5122 and 5124.

  Since the covering member 4800 is attached to the game board 2 in a replaceable manner, when the model is changed, if the covering member 4800 is removed from the game board 2 and replaced, the identification portions 4802 and 5124 provided on the covering member 4800 are replaced. It can be easily exchanged. If the unique display and the specification display are performed by the covering member 4800, another model can be handled by replacing the covering member 4800. Further, since the first identification unit 5122 is provided in the first cover member 4202, it is not affected by the replacement of the covering member 4800.

(Details of structure of second game information display device 79)

These LEDs are the first and second special symbol second indicators 88 and 89, the first and second special symbol hold second indicators 83 and 84, the normal symbol second indicator 82, and the normal symbol hold second indicator. And a right-handed second display 87.

  As shown in FIGS. 99 and 100, the second game information display device 79 covers at least the second display substrate 5800 having 10 LEDs on the surface thereof and the front side of the second display substrate 5800. The second cover member 5710 and the like are included. Although not shown here, on the front side (top) of the second cover member 5710, an identification unit that can identify the light emission modes of a plurality of LEDs individually or as a combination of two or more LED light emission modes is disposed. .

  The second cover member 5710 includes a plate-like pedestal portion 5730 that forms the bottom of the second cover member 5710, and a triangular prism-shaped protrusion portion 5720 that protrudes from the pedestal portion 5730. The corners on the side surfaces of the protrusions 5720 are chamfered, and the second game information display device 79 is arranged with the top of the protrusions 5720 facing the player.

  The second display substrate 5800 is a printed circuit board in which a plurality of LEDs are provided on the front surface that faces the player, and light can be emitted from each LED toward the front side. The LED is mounted on the surface of the second display substrate 5800, not through-hole mounting for fixing the LED lead to the hole of the printed circuit board. In the second display substrate 5800, the LED light emitting element and the solder for fixing the light emitting element to the second display substrate 5800 are on the same front surface of the second display substrate 5800. That is, in the second display substrate 5800, the lead for connecting the LED to the circuit does not protrude on the rear surface, and the solder for fixing the LED is not disposed on the rear surface. As the LED, either full color or single color may be used, and a plurality of LEDs may be configured by combining full color and single color. As the LED, any of a chip type or a shell type can be used as long as it can be mounted on the surface, but a chip type is desirable from the advantage of reducing the space. Under the control of the control means of the effect control board 102, the second display board 5800 is controlled to turn on, turn off, and blink the plurality of LEDs. Information related to profits given to the player due to changes or the like is displayed.

  In this manner, by mounting the LEDs on the second display substrate 5800, the space for arranging the LEDs on the second display substrate 5800 can be reduced, and the second display substrate 5800 can be made more compact. it can. Further, by mounting the LED on the second display substrate 5800, the weight can be reduced and the failure can be reduced. In addition, by mounting the LED on the front surface of the second display substrate 5800, the mounting of the LED does not affect the rear surface of the second display substrate 5800 like through-hole mounting.

(Direction change mode at the time of production button production selection)
Next, a change in the effect mode of the effect button 18A when the effect by the effect button 18A is selected will be described.

FIG. 102 shows an example of the effect button effect change mode determination table. FIG. 102A is a diagram showing an example of a low-probability gaming state effect button effect change mode determination table, and FIG. 102B is an example of a high-probability gaming state effect button effect change mode determination table.

In addition, when the variation pattern “04” (winning) is selected and the effect by the effect button 18A is selected, the variation pattern “without protrusion” or “with protrusion” is selected at a ratio of “20:80”.
“No protrusion” is an effect that the effect ends with the effect button 18A being in a normal state (the state shown in FIG. 72A), and “with protrusion” is a state where the effect button 18A is protruded ( FIG. 72 (b)) shows an effect that changes during the effect.

  As shown in FIG. 102 (B), when the variation pattern “05” (losing) is selected in the high-probability gaming state and the effect by the effect button 18A is selected, “100: 0” “None” or “With protrusions”, ie only “No protrusion” is selected. In addition, when the variation pattern “06” (losing) is selected and the effect by the effect button 18A is selected, the variation pattern “without protrusion” or “with protrusion” is selected at a ratio of “95: 5”.

  On the other hand, when the variation pattern “07” (winning) is selected and the effect by the effect button 18A is selected, “no protrusion” or “with protrusion” is selected at a ratio of “20:80”. In addition, when the variation pattern “08” (winning) is selected and the effect by the effect button 18A is selected, the change pattern “without protrusion” or “with protrusion” is selected at a ratio of “10:90”.

It has become easier. Therefore, in the low-probability gaming state, an effect related to the effect button 18A is more likely to occur than in the high-probability gaming state, and the projecting effect of the effect button 18A is easy to be executed at the time of winning, so that the interest of the game is improved. Can do.

(Direction change mode when effect lever effect is selected)
Next, a change in the effect mode of the effect lever 19A when the effect by the effect lever 19A is selected will be described.

FIG. 103 (A) is a diagram showing an example of a low probability gaming state effect lever effect change mode determination table, and FIG. 103 (B) is an example of a high probability game state effect lever effect change mode determination table. FIG.
The low probability gaming state effect lever effect change mode determination table shown in FIG. 103 (A) and the high probability game state effect lever effect change mode determination table shown in FIG. 103 (B) are stored in the sub ROM 102b. .

The variation pattern determination table and the operation promotion effect determination table are the same as the variation pattern determination table and the operation promotion effect determination table shown in FIG.
The low probability gaming state effect lever effect change mode determination table is a table that is referred to when an effect related to the effect lever 19A is selected in the low probability gaming state operation promotion effect determination table. The high probability game state effect lever effect change mode determination table is a table that is referred to when an effect related to the effect lever 19A is selected in the high probability game state operation promotion effect determination table.

  As shown in FIG. 103 (A), when the variation pattern “01” (losing) is selected in the low-probability gaming state and the effect by the effect lever 19A is selected, “no vibration” at a rate of “100: 0”. Alternatively, “with vibration”, ie, only “without vibration” is selected. In addition, when the variation pattern “02” (losing) is selected and the effect by the effect lever 19A is selected, the variation pattern “no vibration” or “with vibration” is selected at a ratio of “90:10”.

On the other hand, when the variation pattern “03” (winning) is selected and the effect by the effect lever 19A is selected, “no vibration” or “with vibration” is selected at a ratio of “30:70”. When the variation pattern “04” (winning) is selected and the effect by the effect lever 19A is selected, the variation pattern “no vibration” or “with vibration” is selected at a ratio of “20:80”.
“No vibration” is an effect in which the effect is ended while the effect lever 19A is in a normal state (non-vibrated state), and “With vibration” is in the middle of the effect in a state where the effect lever 19A is vibrated. It is a changing production.

  As shown in FIG. 103 (B), when the variation pattern “05” (losing) is selected in the high-probability gaming state and the effect by the effect lever 19A is selected, “vibration” is set at a rate of “100: 0”. “None” or “With vibration”, ie only “No vibration” is selected. Further, when the variation pattern “06” (losing) is selected and the effect by the effect lever 19A is selected, the variation pattern “no vibration” or “with vibration” is selected at a ratio of “95: 5”.

  On the other hand, when the variation pattern “07” (winning) is selected and the effect by the effect lever 19A is selected, “no vibration” or “with vibration” is selected at a ratio of “20:80”. When the variation pattern “08” (winning) is selected and the effect by the effect lever 19A is selected, the variation pattern “no vibration” or “with vibration” is selected at a ratio of “10:90”.

  Thus, at the time of winning the winning, the vibration effect of the effect lever 19A is easily executed (see FIG. 103). As described above, in the high probability gaming state (see FIG. 101 (B-2)), the effect related to the effect lever 19A is selected more than in the low probability gaming state (see FIG. 101 (A-2)). It has become easier. Therefore, in the high-probability gaming state, an effect related to the effect lever 19A is more likely to occur than in the low-probability gaming state, and the vibration effect of the effect lever 19A is easy to be executed at the time of winning, thereby improving the interest of the game. Can do.

(Frequency of appearance of operation buttons and production levers in the high-probability gaming state (production button <production lever) and production change mode when production lever production is selected)
Next, an effect when the appearance frequency of the operation promotion effect of the effect button 18A and the effect lever 19A in the high probability gaming state is different from the above embodiment will be described.

FIG. 104 shows a variation pattern determination table in the high probability gaming state. Specifically, FIG. 104 (A-1) is a diagram showing an example of a variation pattern determination table for high probability gaming state, and FIG. 104 (A-2) is an operation promotion effect determination table for high probability gaming state. 104 (B) is a diagram showing an example of a high probability gaming state effect lever effect change mode determination table.
Note that the variation pattern determination table for the high probability gaming state shown in FIG. 104 (A-1) is stored in the main ROM 101b. Further, the high probability gaming state operation promotion effect determination table shown in FIG. 104 (A-2) and the high probability gaming state effect lever effect change mode determination table shown in FIG. 104 (B) are stored in the sub ROM 102b. .

  As shown in FIG. 104 (A-1), in the case of a loss in the big hit lottery in the high probability gaming state, the variation pattern “05” or “06” is selected at a ratio of “70:30”. On the other hand, in the case of winning, the variation pattern “07” or “08” is selected at a ratio of “60:40”.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 104 (A-2), when the variation pattern “05” (loss) is selected, the effect that prompts the operation of the effect button 18A or the effect lever 19A is selected at the rate of “40:60”. Is done. When the variation pattern “06” (losing) is selected, an effect that prompts the operation of the effect button 18A or the effect lever 19A is selected at a ratio of “30:70”.

  Further, when the variation pattern “07” (winning) is selected, the effect that prompts the operation of the effect button 18A or the effect lever 19A is selected at a ratio of “20:80”, and the variation pattern “08” (winning) is selected. In the case where the effect is made, the effect that prompts the operation of the effect button 18A or the effect lever 19A at the ratio of “10:90” is selected.

  As shown in FIG. 104 (B), when the variation pattern “05” (losing) is selected in the high-probability gaming state and the effect by the effect lever 19A is selected, “vibration” is set at a rate of “100: 0”. “None” or “With vibration”, ie only “No vibration” is selected. Further, when the variation pattern “06” (losing) is selected and the effect by the effect lever 19A is selected, the variation pattern “no vibration” or “with vibration” is selected at a ratio of “95: 5”.

  On the other hand, when the variation pattern “07” (winning) is selected and the effect by the effect lever 19A is selected, “no vibration” or “with vibration” is selected at a ratio of “20:80”. When the variation pattern “08” (winning) is selected and the effect by the effect lever 19A is selected, the variation pattern “no vibration” or “with vibration” is selected at a ratio of “10:90”.

  Thus, in the high-probability gaming state, the effect that prompts the operation of the effect lever 19A is more easily selected than the effect that prompts the operation of the effect button 18A (see FIG. 104 (A-2)). Since the vibration effect of the lever 19A is easy to be executed (see FIG. 104B), the interest of the game can be improved.

  In the present embodiment, in the high-probability gaming state, it is easier to select the effect that prompts the operation of the effect lever 19A than the effect that prompts the operation of the effect button 18A, but the operation of the effect lever 19A is prompted. An effect that prompts an operation of the effect button 18A may be selected more easily than an effect. Furthermore, in the high-probability gaming state, only the effect that prompts the operation of the effect lever 19A may be selected. Further, in the high probability gaming state, only the effect that prompts the operation of the effect button 18A may be selected.

  Further, in the present embodiment, either an effect that prompts the operation of the effect button 18A or an effect that prompts the operation of the effect lever 19A is selected, but an effect that prompts the operation of the effect button 18A, Also, there may be a case where neither of the effects prompting the operation of the effect lever 19A is selected.

(Production that allows operation of multiple operation units (production buttons and production levers))
Next, the case where the operation of not only the effect lever 19A but also the effect button 18A is effective at the time of the lever promotion operation effect of the effect lever 19A will be described.

FIG. 105 is a diagram illustrating an example of a variable effect determination table that enables operations of a plurality of operation units (the effect button 18A and the effect lever 19A).
Specifically, FIG. 105 (A-1) is a diagram showing an example of a variation pattern determination table for high probability gaming state, and FIG. 105 (A-2) is an operation promotion effect determination table for high probability gaming state. FIG. 105 (B) is a diagram showing an example of an operation effective period of the effect button 18A and the effect lever 19A.

  FIG. 106 is a diagram illustrating an example of an effect image displayed on the image display device 14 when a variable effect pattern that enables operation of a plurality of operation units (the effect button 18A and the effect lever 19A) is selected.

  In the following, a case will be described in which a win is made in the jackpot lottery in the high probability gaming state, the variation pattern “07” is selected, and an effect that prompts the operation of the effect lever 19A is selected.

  As shown in FIG. 106 (A), when the sub CPU 102a selects a variation effect pattern in which operations of a plurality of operation units are effective, first, all three decorative symbols vary with respect to the image display device 14. As shown, the effect image is displayed to display the effect effect.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 106 (B), the sub CPU 102a temporarily stops and displays the left decorative symbol and the right decorative symbol with the same numeral, and only the central decorative symbol is changed. The effect is displayed on the image display device 14.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 106C, the sub CPU 102a temporarily stops and displays the central decorative symbol with a symbol indicating a number different from the numbers of the left and right decorative symbols. Then, the sub CPU 102a stands by until a time that can be recognized by the player in this state has elapsed.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 106D, the sub CPU 102a moves, for example, the first decorative member 17A as a gimmick to appear on the front surface of the image display device 14. Note that the sub CPU 102a changes the display of the decorative symbol from approximately the center to the upper right, reduces the display range, and displays it in the reach effect state.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 106E, the sub CPU 102a retracts the first decorative member 17A from the front surface of the image display device 14 (for example, returns it to the initial position), and moves the effect lever 19A to the image display device 14. A lever promoting operation effect for operation is performed over a predetermined effective period. At this time, the sub CPU 102a shines in order to easily recognize that the effect lever 19A and the effect button 18A can be operated. Further, the sub CPU 102a puts the effect button 18A in a projecting state in order to make it easier to operate. In addition, it is not necessary to dare the operation | movement which makes the production | presentation button 18A shine or makes it protrude.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 105 (B), the sub CPU 102a validates the operations of both the effect lever 19A and the effect button 18A at the start of the lever promotion operation effect. The operations of the effect lever 19A and the effect button 18A are valid while the lever promotion operation effect is being performed. When the operation of the effect lever 19A or the effect button 18A is detected, the lever promotion operation effect ends, and the operation effective period of the effect lever 19A and the effect button 18A also ends. If neither the operation of the effect lever 19A nor the operation of the effect button 18A is detected within the operation effective period, the operation of the effect lever 19A and the effect button 18A becomes invalid as the operation effective period ends.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 106 (F), when the operation of the effect lever 19A or the effect button 18A is detected, the sub CPU 102a causes the image display device 14 to display an effect image indicating the lottery result.

  In this way, even if only the lever promotion operation effect for operating the effect lever 19A is performed on the image display device 14, the operations of both the effect lever 19A and the effect button 18A are effective. Can play a game using the operation part which is easy to operate among the effect lever 19A or the effect button 18A, and can improve the interest of the game.

  In the present embodiment, the two operation units of the effect button 18A and the effect lever 19A are used. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and three or more operation units may be used.

(First specific example related to state transition and sixth specific example of distribution of operation means related to fluctuation pattern and fluctuation pattern)
Next, with reference to FIG. 107, a first specific example related to state transition and a sixth specific example of the distribution of operation means related to the change pattern and the change pattern will be described. 107 will be described on the assumption that “variation pattern 04” shown in FIG. 107B-1 has been determined.

  First, FIG. 107 (A) is a diagram showing a transition (state transition) of effects displayed on the image display device 14. Specifically, “change start” when the production symbol starts to fluctuate, “before reach” before the reach is performed after the production symbol starts to fluctuate, and “after reach” after the reach is formed And “development reach” performed after “after reach”. Note that the reach performed in the “after-reach” period is executed with a relatively low degree of expectation for the jackpot, and temporarily stops a symbol indicating a loss (for example, “767”). After that, the transition is made to reach performed during the period of “Development reach”. Reach (for example, “special reach”) during the “development reach” period has a higher expectation for jackpot than the reach (for example, “super reach”) for the period after “reach” High reach is implemented. Depending on the determined special symbol variation pattern, there is also a pattern that stops losing in the reach performed in the `` after reach '' period and ends the variation without transitioning to `` development reach ''. For example, when a symbol indicating a loss (for example, “767”) is temporarily stopped, the transition is made to “development reach”, or the temporary stop is confirmed and the change is made without transition to “development reach”. It is possible to make the player pay attention to whether the game ends.

  Then, the image display device 14 displays an image that imitates the effect button 18A and displays an image that prompts the user to operate the effect button 18A (press the button!) In “before reach” after “change start”. To do. The effect control board 102 sets the operation effective period of the effect button 18 </ b> A via the lamp control board 104. When the “operation valid period” is set, operation information is input to the effect control board 102 via the lamp control board 104 when the player operates the effect button 18A or the effect lever 19A. Thus, if the “operation valid period” is not set, even if the player operates the effect button 18A or the effect lever 19A, the operation information is not input to the effect control board 102. In addition, it is assumed that the operation valid period is set to be the same as or longer than the display time of the image imitating the effect button 18A and the image prompting the operation of the effect button 18A. Then, when the effect button 18A is operated during the operation effective period, for example, a notice image for notifying that a reach is formed is displayed. Specifically, when the effect button 18A is operated, an effect is displayed in which a character image is displayed and the possibility that a reach is formed is determined by the character type, the character line, or the like. Such an effect does not need to be displayed when the effect button 18A is not operated during the operation effective period, and when the effect button 18A is not operated during the operation effective period, You may display automatically with progress of operation effective period. Before reaching, an image imitating the effect button 18A is displayed, and an image imitating the effect lever 19A is displayed in addition to the image prompting the operation of the effect button 18A (press the button!). An image that prompts the operation of the lever 19A (draw the lever!) May be displayed. The details will be described later with reference to FIG. 107 (B-2).

  In the image display device 14, a reach is formed after displaying an image prompting the operation of the effect button 18 </ b> A in “before reach”. In the example of FIG. 107, in the display area 140 of the image display device 14, “7” symbols are displayed in the effect symbol display area (left), and “7” symbols are displayed in the effect symbol display area (right). The state where the effect symbol display area (medium) is variably displayed is shown. Then, a “reach!” Image indicating that a reach has been formed is displayed.

  In the image display device 14, for example, in “after reach” after the reach is formed, an effect corresponding to “super reach” is executed, and the degree of expectation for jackpot is higher than “super reach”. An effect or the like is performed to ask whether or not to transition to “special reach”. In “Super Reach”, it is possible to temporarily stop the lost symbol and then transition to “Special Reach”. You may comprise so that it may change to "reach".

  In the image display device 14, for example, an effect corresponding to “special reach” is executed in “development reach” after “reach”, and when the jackpot is determined, the symbol indicating the jackpot is displayed. Derived, and when the loss is determined, the symbol indicating the deviation is derived. It should be noted that when deriving either the big hit or the loss, an image imitating the effect lever 19A is displayed, and an image for urging the operation of the effect lever 19A (lever pull!) Is displayed. The effect control board 102 sets the operation effective period of the effect lever 19 </ b> A via the lamp control board 104. It is assumed that the operation effective period is set to be the same as or longer than the display time of the image imitating the effect lever 19A and the image prompting the operation of the effect lever 19A. That is, in deriving any of the symbols, an image prompting the operation of the effect lever 19A (draw the lever!) Is displayed, and the player operates the effect lever 19A so that the player operates the effect lever 19A. As a result of the operation, an effect is produced in which either the big hit or the loss is derived. It should be noted that the derivation of either the big hit or the loss is assumed to be automatically displayed as the operation effective period elapses when the effect lever 19A is not operated during the operation effective period. In the development reach, an image imitating the effect lever 19A is displayed, and an image imitating the effect button 18A is displayed in addition to an image prompting the operation of the effect lever 19A (lever pull!). An image prompting the operation of the button 18A (press the button!) May be displayed. The details will be described later with reference to FIG. 107 (B-2). In the example of FIG. 107, a symbol “777” indicating a jackpot is derived, and an image indicating that the jackpot has been won (jacket !!) is displayed.

  Next, FIG. 107 (B-1) is a figure which shows the variation pattern (special symbol variation pattern) in a low probability game state, the content (effect content) corresponding to a variation pattern, and the distribution of a variation pattern. is there. Note that FIG. 107 (B-1) shows a part of the variation pattern for convenience of explanation, and has a plurality of variation patterns in addition to this. The “variation pattern 01 (losing)” is a variation pattern that is selected when the result of the jackpot determination is a loss, and the content of the effect is defined as transition from “normal reach” to “super reach”. It has been. The “variation pattern 02 (loss)” is a variation pattern that is selected when the result of the jackpot determination is a loss, and the content of the effect is defined as a transition from “normal reach” to “special reach”. It has been. When the result of the jackpot determination is a loss, the distribution for which “variation pattern 01 (loss)” is selected is “80/100”, and the distribution for which “variation pattern 02 (loss)” is selected is “20/100”, and the ratio of “variation pattern 01 (loss)” is high. Note that any value can be set as the distribution value. The “variation pattern 03 (winning)” is a variation pattern that is selected when the result of the jackpot determination is a win, and the content of the effect is defined as a transition from “normal reach” to “super reach”. It has been. The “variation pattern 04 (hit)” is a variation pattern selected when the result of the jackpot determination is a win, and the content changes from “normal reach” to “super reach”. The contents of the transition from “Super Reach” to “Special Reach” are defined. If the result of the jackpot determination is a win, the distribution for which “variation pattern 03 (win)” is selected is “50/100”, and the distribution for which “variation pattern 04 (win)” is selected is “50/100”, and the selected ratio is uniform. Note that any value can be set as the distribution value.

  Next, FIG. 107 (B-2) shows the ratio of executing the operation effect of the effect button 18A “before reach” and the operation of the effect lever 19A corresponding to the change pattern (special symbol change pattern) in the low probability gaming state. The relationship between the ratio of executing the effects and the ratio of executing the operation effects of the effect button 18A after the reach and the ratio of executing the operation effects of the effect lever 19A are shown. That is, in the image display device 14, the relationship between the ratio of displaying the image prompting the operation of the effect button 18 </ b> A “before reach” and the ratio displaying the image prompting the operation of the effect lever 19 </ b> A, and the image display device 14. It can be said that the relationship between the ratio of displaying the image prompting the operation of the effect button 18A after the reach and the ratio displaying the image prompting the operation of the effect lever 19A is shown.

  “Before reach” of “Fluctuation pattern 01 (losing)” is “100/100” when the effect button 18A is selected, and “0/100” when the effect lever 19A is selected. Thus, the effect lever 19A is not selected. In addition, “Before reach” of “Fluctuation pattern 02 (losing)” is “90/100” for the selection of the effect button 18A, and “10/100” for the selection of the effect lever 19A. 100 ". In addition, “before reach” of “variation pattern 03 (winning)” is “100/100” for the selection of the effect button 18A, and “0/0” for the selection of the effect lever 19A. 100 "and the effect lever 19A is not selected. In addition, “Before reach” of “Fluctuation pattern 04 (winning)” is “90/100” for the selection of the effect button 18A, and “10/100” for the selection of the effect lever 19A. 100 ". That is, in “before reach”, it can be said that the ratio of the effect button 18A is higher than the effect lever 19A is selected as a whole of the variation pattern. Note that any value can be set as the distribution value.

  On the other hand, in “After reach” of “Fluctuation pattern 01 (losing)”, the distribution for selecting the effect button 18A is “90/100”, and the distribution for selecting the effect lever 19A is “10 / 100 ". In “Fluctuation pattern 02 (losing)”, “After reach”, the distribution of the effect button 18A is “0/100”, and the distribution of the effect lever 19A is “100/100”. 100 "and the production button 18A is not selected. Further, in “After reach” of “Fluctuation pattern 03 (winning)”, the distribution for which the effect button 18A is selected is “50/100”, and the distribution for which the effect lever 19A is selected is “50/100”. 100 ". Also, in “After reach” of “Fluctuation pattern 04 (winning)”, the allocation of the effect button 18A is “0/100”, and the allocation of the effect lever 19A is “100/100”. 100 ". That is, in “after reach”, it can be said that the ratio of the effect lever 19A being selected is higher than the effect button 18A being selected as a whole of the variation pattern. Note that any value can be set as the distribution value.

  Thus, in “Before reach”, the ratio of the effect button 18A is selected higher than the effect lever 19A is selected, and after “reach”, the effect button 18A is selected rather than selected. By increasing the ratio at which the lever 19A is selected, when a plurality of operation means are provided, it is possible to make it easier for the player to know which operation means is being operated. In addition, when performing an effect prompting the operation of the effect button 18A, it is possible to set the operation effective period of the effect button 18A and the operation effective period of the effect lever 19A. However, in this case, an effect that prompts the operation of the effect lever 19A is not performed. In other words, the effect that prompts the operation only executes the effect that prompts the operation of any one of the operation means, but the operation means is configured to be operable. Of course, the same thing may be performed when the effect which urges operation of effect lever 19A is performed. By comprising in this way, when a several operation means is provided, since the player can also operate the operation means which a player wants to operate, the improvement of the game entertainment further can be aimed at.

  In the first specific example relating to the state transition, the following changes can also be made. That is, in FIG. 107, an image prompting the operation of the “before reach” effect button 18A after “start of variation” is displayed and the “operation valid period” is set, but at the timing of “change start”, the effect button An image prompting the operation of 18A may be displayed, and the “operation valid period” may be set. In addition, in the “development reach”, an image that prompts the player to operate the effect lever 19A is displayed, and the player operates the effect lever 19A. As a result, the player operates the effect lever 19A. Although it is decided to perform an effect in which one of the symbols is derived, the timing for performing the effect may be any timing as long as it is between “reach” and the timing for deriving the symbol. Further, for the image prompting the operation of the effect button 18A and the image prompting the operation of the effect lever 19A, only the image of the operation means may be displayed, and the message image may not be displayed. Alternatively, only a meter image may be displayed and an image may be displayed in which the gauge image is changed according to the operation effective period. In this case, it can be said to display an image indicating that the operation means can be operated.

(Second specific example related to state transition and seventh specific example of distribution of operation means related to fluctuation pattern and fluctuation pattern)
Next, a second specific example relating to state transition and a seventh specific example relating to the change pattern and the operation means relating to the change pattern will be described with reference to FIG. 108 will be described on the assumption that “variation pattern 04” shown in FIG. 108B-1 has been determined.

  First, FIG. 108 (A) is a diagram showing a transition (state transition) of effects displayed on the image display device 14. Specifically, the “change start” when the production symbol starts to change, “after reach (first reach)” after the reach is formed, and “development reach (first reach) performed after the“ reach ” 2 reach) ”. Note that the reach performed in the “after-reach” period is executed with a relatively low degree of expectation for the jackpot, and temporarily stops a symbol indicating a loss (for example, “767”). After that, the transition is made to reach performed during the period of “Development reach”. Reach (for example, “special reach”) during the “development reach” period has a higher expectation for jackpot than the reach (for example, “super reach”) for the period after “reach” High reach is implemented. Depending on the determined special symbol variation pattern, there is also a pattern that stops losing in the reach performed in the `` after reach '' period and ends the variation without transitioning to `` development reach ''. For example, when a symbol indicating a loss (for example, “767”) is temporarily stopped, the transition is made to “development reach”, or the temporary stop is confirmed and the change is made without transition to “development reach”. It is possible to make the player pay attention to whether the game ends.

  Then, the image display device 14 displays an image imitating the effect button 18A in “after reach” after the reach formation, and displays an image prompting the operation of the effect button 18A (press the button!). The effect control board 102 sets the operation effective period of the effect button 18 </ b> A via the lamp control board 104. The operation valid period is the same as that described with reference to FIG. 107, and is set at the same time as the display time of the image imitating the effect button 18A and the image prompting the operation of the effect button 18A, or longer than that. It is assumed that it is set. When the effect button 18A is operated during the operation effective period, for example, a notice image for notifying the possibility of transition to the development reach is displayed. Specifically, when the effect button 18A is operated, an effect is displayed in which a character image is displayed, and the possibility of transition to advanced reach is notified depending on the character type, character speech, and the like. Such an effect does not need to be displayed when the effect button 18A is not operated during the operation effective period, and when the effect button 18A is not operated during the operation effective period, You may display automatically with progress of operation effective period. After the reach, an image imitating the effect button 18A is displayed, and an image imitating the effect lever 19A is displayed in addition to the image prompting the operation of the effect button 18A (press the button!). An image that prompts the operation of the lever 19A (draw the lever!) May be displayed. The details will be described later with reference to FIG. 108 (B-2).

  In “after reach”, an image that prompts the operation of the effect button 18A may be displayed after temporarily suspending the symbol of the loss. For example, when it is determined to transition to the development reach, after “reach”, after temporarily losing the symbol of the lost pattern, an image prompting the operation of the effect button 18A is displayed, and the effect button 18A is displayed. When operated, the first decorative member 17A may be operated to make a transition to the development reach.

  In the image display device 14, for example, an effect corresponding to “special reach” is executed in “development reach”, and when the big hit is determined, a symbol indicating the big hit is derived and the loss is determined. If it is, the symbol indicating the deviation is derived. In deriving any of these symbols, an image imitating the effect lever 19A is displayed, and an image prompting the operation of the effect lever 19A (with the lever pulled!) Is displayed. The effect control board 102 sets the operation effective period of the effect lever 19 </ b> A via the lamp control board 104. It is assumed that the operation effective period is set to be the same as or longer than the display time of the image imitating the effect lever 19A and the image prompting the operation of the effect lever 19A. In other words, when deriving the symbol of either a big hit or a loss, an image prompting the operation of the effect lever 19A (draw the lever!) Is displayed and the player operates the effect lever 19A, as if the player However, by operating the effect lever 19A, an effect is obtained in which either a big hit or a lost symbol is derived. It should be noted that the derivation of either the big hit or the loss is assumed to be automatically displayed as the operation effective period elapses when the effect lever 19A is not operated during the operation effective period. In the development reach, an image imitating the effect lever 19A is displayed, and an image imitating the effect button 18A is displayed in addition to an image prompting the operation of the effect lever 19A (lever pull!). An image prompting the operation of the button 18A (press the button!) May be displayed. The details will be described later with reference to FIG. 108 (B-2). In the example of FIG. 108, the symbol “777” indicating the jackpot is derived, and an image indicating that the jackpot has been won (jacket !!) is displayed.

  Next, FIG. 108 (B-1) is the same as that described in the description of FIG. 107 (B-1); Next, FIG. 108 (B-2) shows the ratio of executing the operation effect of the effect button 18A in the “first reach” corresponding to the change pattern (special symbol change pattern) in the low probability gaming state and the effect lever 19A. The relationship between the ratio of executing the operation effect and the ratio of executing the operation effect of the effect button 18A in the “second reach” and the ratio of executing the operation effect of the effect lever 19A are shown. That is, in the image display device 14, the relationship between the ratio of displaying the image prompting the operation of the effect button 18 </ b> A in “first reach” and the ratio displaying the image prompting the operation of the effect lever 19 </ b> A, and the image display device 14, it can be said that the relationship between the ratio at which the image prompting the operation of the effect button 18A in “second reach” is displayed and the ratio at which the image prompting the operation of the effect lever 19A is displayed.

  In the “first reach” of the “variation pattern 01 (losing)”, the allocation of the effect button 18A is “100/100”, and the allocation of the effect lever 19A is “0/100”. The production lever 19A is not selected. In the “first reach” of “variation pattern 02 (losing)”, the distribution of the effect button 18A is “90/100”, and the distribution of the effect lever 19A is “10”. / 100 ". In the “first reach” of the “variation pattern 03 (winning)”, the allocation of the effect button 18A is “100/100”, and the allocation of the effect lever 19A is “0”. / 100 ", and the effect lever 19A is not selected. In the “first reach” of the “variation pattern 04 (win)”, the distribution of the effect button 18A is “90/100”, and the distribution of the effect lever 19A is “10”. / 100 ". That is, in the “first reach”, it can be said that the ratio of the effect button 18A being selected is higher than the effect lever 19A being selected as a whole of the variation pattern. Note that any value can be set as the distribution value.

  On the other hand, in the “second reach” of the “variation pattern 01 (losing)”, the allocation of the effect button 18A is “80/100”, and the allocation of the effect lever 19A is “20”. / 100 ". In the “second reach” of the “variation pattern 02 (losing)”, the distribution of the effect button 18A is “10/100”, and the distribution of the effect lever 19A is “90”. / 100 "and the production button 18A is not selected. Further, in the “second reach” of the “variation pattern 03 (winning)”, the distribution for selecting the effect button 18A is “50/100”, and the distribution for selecting the effect lever 19A is “50”. / 100 ". In the “second reach” of the “variation pattern 04 (hit)”, the distribution for selecting the effect button 18A is “0/100”, and the distribution for selecting the effect lever 19A is “100”. / 100 ". That is, in the “second reach”, it can be said that the ratio of selecting the effect lever 19A is higher than the effect button 18A is selected as a whole of the variation pattern. Note that any value can be set as the distribution value.

  As described above, in the “first reach”, the ratio of selecting the effect button 18A is higher than in the case where the effect lever 19A is selected, and in the “second reach”, the effect button 18A is selected. By increasing the ratio at which the effect lever 19A is selected, when a plurality of operation means are provided, it is possible to make it easier for the player to know which operation means is being operated. In addition, when performing an effect prompting the operation of the effect button 18A, it is possible to set the operation effective period of the effect button 18A and the operation effective period of the effect lever 19A. However, in this case, an effect that prompts the operation of the effect lever 19A is not performed. In other words, the effect that prompts the operation only executes the effect that prompts the operation of any one of the operation means, but the operation means is configured to be operable. Of course, the same thing may be performed when the effect which urges operation of effect lever 19A is performed. By comprising in this way, when a several operation means is provided, since the player can also operate the operation means which a player wants to operate, the improvement of the game entertainment further can be aimed at.

  In the second specific example relating to the state transition, the following changes can also be made. That is, in FIG. 108, in “first reach”, an image that prompts the operation of the effect button 18A is displayed and the “operation valid period” is set. However, if “first reach” is being performed. The timing for displaying the image prompting the operation of the effect button 18A and setting the “operation valid period” may be any timing. In the “second reach”, an image prompting the operation of the effect lever 19A is displayed and the player operates the effect lever 19A. As a result, the player operates the effect lever 19A. However, the timing for performing the performance may be any timing as long as the “second reach” is being performed. . Further, for the image prompting the operation of the effect button 18A and the image prompting the operation of the effect lever 19A, only the image of the operation means may be displayed, and the message image may not be displayed. Alternatively, only a meter image may be displayed and an image may be displayed in which the gauge image is changed according to the operation effective period. In this case, it can be said to display an image indicating that the operation means can be operated.

(Third specific example related to state transition, and eighth specific example of distribution of operation means related to fluctuation pattern and fluctuation pattern)
Next, a third specific example relating to state transition and an eighth specific example relating to the change pattern and operation means relating to the change pattern will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 109, description will be made assuming that “variation pattern 02” and “variation pattern 04” shown in FIG. 109 (B-1) have been determined.

  First, FIG. 109 (A) is a diagram showing a transition (state transition) of effects displayed on the image display device 14. Specifically, it is composed of “change start” in which the production symbol starts changing, “reach” in which the reach is formed, and “development reach” that transitions from “reach”. Note that the reach performed during the “reach” period is executed with a relatively low degree of expectation for the jackpot, and temporarily stops a symbol indicating a loss (for example, “767”). After that, the transition is made to reach performed during the period of “Development reach”. It should be noted that the reach (for example, “special reach”) performed during the “development reach” period has a higher expectation for jackpot than the reach (for example, “super reach”) performed during the “reach” period. Reach is executed. Depending on the determined special symbol variation pattern, there is also a pattern that stops losing at the reach performed during the `` reach '' period and ends the variation without transitioning to `` development reach ''. When the symbol indicating the loss (for example, “767”) is temporarily stopped, the transition is made to “development reach” or from the temporary stop to the fixed stop, and the change is made without transitioning to “development reach”. It is possible to make the player pay attention to whether or not to end.

  In the image display device 14, for example, in the “development reach” after “reach”, an effect corresponding to “special reach” is executed. Derived, and when the loss is determined, the symbol indicating the deviation is derived. In deriving any of these symbols, an image imitating the effect button 18A is displayed according to the variation pattern, and an image prompting the operation of the effect button 18A (press the button!) Is displayed. There is a case where an image imitating the effect lever 19A is displayed and an image prompting the operation of the effect lever 19A (the lever is pulled!) Is displayed. The effect control board 102 sets the operation valid period of the operating means to be operated via the lamp control board 104. The operation valid period is the same as that described in FIG. 107, and is set to be the same as or longer than the display time of the image imitating the operating means to be operated and the image prompting the operation. It is assumed that In other words, in deriving either the big hit or the loss, the image that prompts one of the operations is displayed and the operation means corresponding to the player is operated so that the player operates the operation means. As a result, an effect in which a symbol of either a big hit or a loss is derived is performed (hereinafter referred to as “decision effect”). Note that it is assumed that one of the symbols is automatically displayed as the operation effective period elapses when the operation means is not operated during the operation effective period. In the example of FIG. 109, an image imitating the effect button 18A is displayed, an image prompting the operation of the effect button 18A is displayed, and then an image (unfortunately!) Indicating that the game has been lost is displayed ( “Fluctuation pattern 02”), an image imitating the effect lever 19A is displayed, an image prompting the operation of the effect lever 19A is displayed, and then an image (hit! 1 shows a state in which the decorative member 17A is operated ("variation pattern 04").

  Next, FIG. 109 (B-1) is basically the same as (B-1) in FIG. 107 and FIG. Next, FIG. 109 (B-2) shows the ratio of executing the operation effect of the effect button 18A in the determined effect and the operation effect of the effect lever 19A corresponding to the change pattern (special symbol change pattern) in the low probability gaming state. The relationship with the ratio to perform and the relationship of the action | operation of a movable body corresponding to a fluctuation pattern and a non-operation are shown. That is, it can be said that the image display device 14 shows the relationship between the ratio of displaying the image prompting the operation of the effect button 18A and the ratio displaying the image prompting the operation of the effect lever 19A in the determined effect. Note that the movable body refers to the first decorative member 17A.

  The “variation pattern 01 (losing)” is “100/100” in which the effect button 18A is selected, and “0/100” in which the effect lever 19A is selected. The production lever 19A is not selected. Moreover, since it is a variation pattern of loss, the movable body remains inactive. In addition, in “variation pattern 02 (losing)”, the distribution in which the effect button 18A is selected is “70/100”, and the distribution in which the effect lever 19A is selected is “30/100”. Yes. Moreover, since it is a variation pattern of loss, the movable body remains inactive. In addition, in the “variation pattern 03 (winning)”, the distribution in which the effect button 18A is selected is “70/100”, and the distribution in which the effect lever 19A is selected is “30/100”. Yes. In addition, since it is a hit variation pattern, the movable body operates to the front side of the image display device 14 as shown by the big hit in FIG. Further, in the “variation pattern 04 (winning)”, the allocation for which the effect button 18A is selected is “0/100”, and the allocation for which the effect lever 19A is selected is “100/100”. The effect button 18A is not selected. In addition, since it is a hit variation pattern, the movable body operates to the front side of the image display device 14 as shown by the big hit in FIG. That is, in the determined effect, an image that prompts the operation of the effect button 18A is displayed and the image that prompts the operation of the effect button 19A is displayed and the effect lever 19A is operated compared to the case where the effect button 18A is operated. It can be said that the rate at which the movable body operates is higher. Note that any value can be set as the distribution value.

  Thus, in the determined effect, an image prompting the operation of the effect button 18A is displayed, and an image prompting the operation of the effect lever 19A is displayed and the effect lever 19A is operated as compared with the case where the effect button 18A is operated. In this case, by increasing the rate at which the movable body is actuated, it is possible to focus on which operation means an image prompting for operation is displayed in the decision effect. It should be noted that, in the determined effect, when the effect of prompting the operation of the effect button 18A is being performed, the operation effective period of the effect button 18A can be set and the operation effective period of the effect lever 19A can be set. However, in this case, an effect that prompts the operation of the effect lever 19A is not performed. In other words, the effect that prompts the operation only executes the effect that prompts the operation of any one of the operation means, but the operation means is configured to be operable. Of course, the same thing may be performed when the effect which urges operation of effect lever 19A is performed. By comprising in this way, when a several operation means is provided, since the player can also operate the operation means which a player wants to operate, the improvement of the game entertainment further can be aimed at.

  In the third specific example related to the state transition, the following changes can be made. That is, in FIG. 109, images that prompt the operation are displayed between “change start” and “reach” and between “reach” and “development reach”, and the effect button 18A and the effect lever 19A are operated. Good. Further, in this case, when the image prompting the operation of the effect lever 19A is displayed, compared to the case where the image prompting the operation of the effect button 18A is displayed, the “determination effect” of the effect lever 19A is displayed. The ratio at which the image prompting the operation is displayed may be increased. Further, for the image prompting the operation of the effect button 18A and the image prompting the operation of the effect lever 19A, only the image of the operation means may be displayed, and the message image may not be displayed. Alternatively, only a meter image may be displayed and an image may be displayed in which the gauge image is changed according to the operation effective period. In this case, it can be said to display an image indicating that the operation means can be operated.

(Fourth specific example related to state transition and ninth specific example of distribution of operation means related to fluctuation pattern and fluctuation pattern)
Next, with reference to FIG. 110, a fourth specific example relating to state transition and a ninth specific example of the distribution of the operation means relating to the fluctuation pattern and the fluctuation pattern will be described. 110 will be described assuming that “variation pattern 01” and “variation pattern 03” shown in FIG. 110 (B-1) have been determined.

  First, FIG. 110A is a diagram illustrating a transition (state transition) of effects displayed on the image display device 14. Specifically, the “change start” where the design starts to change, the “reach” where the reach is formed, the “super reach” that transitions from the “reach”, and the “decision effect” performed at the “super reach” It is composed of. The “decision effect” is the same as in FIG. In FIG. 110A, the movable body (first decorative member 17A) is operated at the timing of transition from “reach” to “super reach”, and the movable body (first decorative member 17A) is operated. It is composed of the case where it is not allowed. Therefore, the operation and non-operation of the movable body shown in FIG. 110 (B-2) to be described later is different from FIG. ing. That is, in FIG. 110, as shown in FIG. 109, the operation of the movable body does not notify the jackpot but notifies the transition from “reach” to “super reach”. Even if it exists, a movable body may operate | move, and even if it is a hit fluctuation pattern, a movable body may become inactive. Basically, the expectation for jackpot is set higher when the movable body operates.

  Then, the image display device 14 displays an image (development!) Indicating the transition to “super reach” at the timing of transition from “reach” to “super reach”. When the “Super Reach” is executed and the jackpot is determined, the symbol indicating the jackpot is derived and the loss is determined. In this case, a symbol indicating the dislocation is derived. It should be noted that, when deriving either the big hit or the loss, an image imitating the effect button 18A is displayed according to the variation pattern, and an image prompting the operation of the effect button 18A (press the button!) Is displayed. There is a case where an image imitating the effect lever 19A is displayed, and an image urging the operation of the effect lever 19A (retracting the lever!) Is displayed. The effect control board 102 sets the operation valid period of the operating means to be operated via the lamp control board 104. The operation valid period is the same as that described in FIG. 107, and is set to be the same as or longer than the display time of the image imitating the operating means to be operated and the image prompting the operation. It is assumed that In other words, when deriving any symbol, displaying an image prompting any operation and operating the operation means corresponding to the player, it seems as if the player has operated the operation means. An effect in which one of the symbols of losing is derived is performed (similar to FIG. 109, “decision effect”). Note that it is assumed that one of the symbols is automatically displayed as the operation effective period elapses when the operation means is not operated during the operation effective period. In the example of FIG. 110, an image imitating the effect button 18A is displayed, an image prompting the operation of the effect button 18A is displayed, and then an image (unfortunately!) Indicating that the game has been lost is displayed ( “Fluctuation pattern 01”), an image that imitates the effect lever 19A is displayed, an image that prompts the operation of the effect lever 19A is displayed, and then an image that indicates that the game is a big win (hit!) Is displayed. 1 shows a state in which the decorative member 17A is operated ("variation pattern 03").

  Next, FIG. 110 (B-1) is basically the same as (B-1) in FIGS. 107 to 109, and only the distribution is partially different, so that the description is omitted. Next, FIG. 110 (B-2) shows the ratio of executing the operation effect of the effect button 18A in the “decision effect” and the operation of the effect lever 19A corresponding to the change pattern (special symbol change pattern) in the low probability gaming state. The relationship between the ratio of executing the effects and the relationship between the operation and non-operation of the movable body at the timing of transition from “reach” to “super reach” corresponding to the variation pattern is shown. That is, it can be said that the image display device 14 shows the relationship between the ratio of displaying the image prompting the operation of the effect button 18A and the ratio displaying the image prompting the operation of the effect lever 19A in the “decision effect”. . Note that the movable body refers to the first decorative member 17A.

  The “variation pattern 01 (losing)” is “100/100” in which the effect button 18A is selected, and “0/100” in which the effect lever 19A is selected. The production lever 19A is not selected. Moreover, the movable body at the time of reach transition is inactive. In addition, in “variation pattern 02 (losing)”, the allocation of the effect button 18A is “0/100”, and the allocation of the effect lever 19A is “100/100”. The effect button 18A is not selected. The movable body at the time of reach transition is in operation. In addition, in the “variation pattern 03 (winning)”, the allocation for which the effect button 18A is selected is “100/100”, and the allocation for which the effect lever 19A is selected is “0/100”. Therefore, the effect lever 19A is not selected. Moreover, the movable body at the time of reach transition is inactive. Further, in the “variation pattern 04 (winning)”, the allocation for which the effect button 18A is selected is “0/100”, and the allocation for which the effect lever 19A is selected is “100/100”. The effect button 18A is not selected. The movable body at the time of reach transition is in operation. That is, in the “decision effect”, when an image prompting the operation of the effect lever 19A is displayed and the effect lever 19A is operated, an image prompting the operation of the effect button 18A is displayed and the effect button 18A is operated. Compared to the above, it can be said that the rate at which the movable body operates during the reach transition is high. Note that any value can be set as the distribution value.

  As described above, in the “decision effect”, when an image prompting the operation of the effect lever 19A is displayed and the effect lever 19A is operated, an image prompting the operation of the effect button 18A is displayed and the effect button 18A is operated. Compared to the case where the movable body is operated at the time of reach transition, it is expected that the effect lever 19A can be operated in the subsequent “decision effect” when the movable body is operated at the time of reach transition. Can be made. In the “decision effect”, when the effect of prompting the operation of the effect button 18A is being performed, the operation effective period of the effect button 18A can be set and the operation effective period of the effect lever 19A can be set. However, in this case, an effect that prompts the operation of the effect lever 19A is not performed. In other words, the effect that prompts the operation only executes the effect that prompts the operation of any one of the operation means, but the operation means is configured to be operable. Of course, the same thing may be performed when the effect which urges operation of effect lever 19A is performed. By comprising in this way, when a several operation means is provided, since the player can also operate the operation means which a player wants to operate, the improvement of the game entertainment further can be aimed at.

  In the fourth specific example relating to the state transition, the following changes can also be made. That is, in FIG. 110, even if the images prompting the operation are displayed between “start of change” and “reach” and between “reach” and “development reach”, the effect button 18A and the effect lever 19A are operated. Good. Further, when the transition is made from “reach” to “super reach”, the effect button 18A and the effect lever 19A may be operated to operate the movable body. Further, the first decorative member 17A may be configured to be able to be operated in a plurality of stages. For example, it is possible to operate from the “1” stage to the “3” stage. The operation means operable in "" may indicate whether it is the effect button 18A or the effect lever 19A. For example, when it is decided to operate the effect button 18A in the “decision effect”, it is easy to select the operation up to the “1” stage, and the effect lever 19A is operated in the “decision effect”. When it is determined, the operation up to the “3” stage may be easily selected. In such a case, at the time of reach transition, it can be predicted that the effect lever 19A can be operated in the subsequent “decision effect” depending on to what level the first decorative member 17A operates. In addition, a movable body different from the first decorative member 17A is provided, and the “decision effect” is determined depending on whether the operation is only the first decorative member 17A, the operation of only another movable body, or the other. It may be suggested whether the operating means that can be operated at is the effect button 18A or the effect lever 19A. Even if it is such a structure, the same effect is acquired.

  Further, for the image prompting the operation of the effect button 18A and the image prompting the operation of the effect lever 19A, only the image of the operation means may be displayed, and the message image may not be displayed. Alternatively, only a meter image may be displayed and an image may be displayed in which the gauge image is changed according to the operation effective period. In this case, it can be said to display an image indicating that the operation means can be operated.

(Fifth specific example related to state transition)
Next, a fifth specific example relating to state transition will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 111, the description will be made assuming that “variation pattern 03” shown in FIG. 109 (B-1) has been determined. Note that both FIG. 111A and FIG. 111B show state transitions in “variation pattern 03”. The contents shown in FIG. 111 are not limited to “variation pattern 03”, but can also be applied to other variation patterns (for example, a variation pattern in which the effect button 18A is operated in the “operation effective period”). Further, the following contents shown in FIGS. 111 to 113 can be applied to FIGS. 107 to 110.

  First, in case 1 of FIG. 111 (A), for example, when the player operates the effect lever 19A when “3S” of the operation effective period set in the “decision effect” in “super reach” has elapsed. Represents. In other words, the effect design starts to change at “starting change”, and “reach” is formed after “being changed”. Then, a transition is made from “reach” to “super reach”, and during “super reach”, an image prompting the operation of the effect lever 19A is displayed on the image display device 14, and together with the display of the image, the effect lever 19A “Operation valid period” (for example, “5S”) is set. That is, the effect control board 102 displays an image prompting the user to operate the effect lever 19A on the image display device 14 via the image control board 105 during the “super reach”. During the “reach”, the effect lever 19A is activated via the lamp control board 104. Note that “validation” means that operation information is input to the effect control board 102 via the lamp control board 104 when the player operates the effect lever 19A. Then, when “3S” elapses during “5S” of the “operation valid period”, the player operates the effect lever 19A, and the first decorative member 17A operates on the front side of the image display device 14, In the image display device 14, an image showing that the jackpot is won (a jackpot !!) is displayed. In other words, the effect control board 102 receives the first decorative member via the lamp control board 104 based on the input of the operation information via the lamp control board 104 when the effect lever 19A is activated. The effect control board 102 performs control for operating 17A, and the image control board 105 is based on the operation information input via the lamp control board 104 when the effect lever 19A is activated. The control which displays the image which shows that it is a big hit is performed via. For example, in the “decision effect”, the effect control board 102 displays an image prompting the operation of the effect lever 19A, and when the effect lever 19A is activated, the effect button 18A is activated together with the effect lever 19A being activated. May be used. Further, for example, in the “decision effect”, when an image that prompts the operation of the effect button 18A is displayed and the effect button 18A is activated, the effect lever 19A may be activated along with the activation of the effect button 18A.

  Then, after the “operation effective period” elapses, the state transits to the “waiting period”. The “standby period” is, for example, when the operation is performed at “1S” of the “operation effective period” and when the operation is performed at “3S” of the “operation effective period”. Therefore, the display timing of the image indicating that it is a big hit will be different, and this is a period in which the time until the “determined display” described later is performed is adjusted. For example, the length of the “waiting period” is different between the case where the operation is performed with “1S” of the “operation effective period” and the case where the operation is performed with “3S” of the “operation effective period”. The “standby period” when the operation is performed in “1S” of the “valid period” is longer. In addition, as shown in FIG. 111B described later, when the operation is not performed in the “operation effective period”, the operation of the first decorative member 17A and the big hit are made with the passage of the “operation effective period”. Since the image indicating this is displayed, the “waiting period” after the “operation effective period” has elapsed is the shortest compared to the case where the operation is performed in the “operation effective period”. In this “standby period”, the image display device 14 displays the fluctuation variation of the effect symbol (for example, “777”) and displays an image or the like indicating that it is a big hit. Therefore, when the operation is performed during the “operation effective period” and when the operation is not performed during the “operation effective period”, the effect design (for example, “777”) displayed on the image display device 14 varies. The period during which the variable display is performed is different from the period during which an image or the like indicating that the jackpot has been won. In addition, when an operation is performed during the “operation effective period”, a predetermined effect is performed during the “standby period”, and when an operation is not performed during the “operation effective period”, a predetermined effect is performed during the “standby period”. It may not be possible. In addition, after the “standby period”, a “revariation period” of the effect symbol is provided, and as a predetermined effect in the “waiting period”, an effect of informing the degree of expectation of promotion of the effect symbol in the “revariation period” is performed. Also good. Here, the “revariation period” refers to, for example, when the probability variation jackpot is determined, the “444” symbol or the like that does not correspond to the probability variation jackpot is temporarily displayed in the production symbol, and the probability variation from the “444” symbol is displayed. This is a period in which the effect of whether or not to promote to the “777” symbol corresponding to the jackpot is performed. In this way, by providing the “revariation period” after the “standby period” and performing the effect of informing the expected degree of promotion of the effect symbol in the “revariation period” as the predetermined effect in the “waiting period” In the “valid period”, the player can be motivated to operate the effect button 18A and the effect lever 19A. When the “waiting period” elapses, the “confirmed display” is displayed, and the effect symbol “777” is changed from the shaking fluctuation display to the stop display in which it is completely stopped.

  Next, Case 2 in FIG. 111 (B) differs from Case 1 in FIG. 111 (A) in the manner of notifying that the player has not operated the effect lever 19A in the “operation effective period”. The other points are common. That is, in FIG. 111 (B), as in FIG. 111 (A), the image display device 14 displays an image prompting the operation of the effect lever 19A, and together with the display of the image, the “operation effective period” of the effect lever 19A. This indicates that the player has not operated the effect lever 19A despite the fact that the “.” Is set. In this case, when the “operation effective period” has elapsed, the first decoration member 17A is actuated and an image indicating that the jackpot has been won is displayed. When the operation is performed during the “operation effective period” Compared to the above, although the operation timing of the first decorative member 17A and the display timing of the image indicating that the jackpot is different, the jackpot notification mode is the same as when the operation is performed in the “operation effective period”. . However, when the player does not operate the effect lever 19A in the “operation effective period”, the “standby period” is shortened as described above, and thus the predetermined effect in the above “standby period” is not executed. It is like that. Therefore, in case 1 in FIG. 111A and case 2 in FIG. 111B, both of the effects are based on the “variation pattern 03”, and therefore the effects and the like basically performed by the image display device 14 and the like. Are common, but the production in the “waiting period” after the “operation effective period” is the same when the operation is performed during the “operation effective period” and when the operation is not performed during the “operation effective period”. The parts are different.

(Sixth specific example related to state transition)
Next, a sixth specific example related to state transition will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 112, description will be made on the assumption that “variation pattern 01” shown in FIG. 108 (B-1) has been determined. Note that both FIG. 112C and FIG. 112D show state transitions in the “variation pattern 01”. The contents shown in FIG. 112 are not limited to “variation pattern 01”, but can also be applied to other variation patterns (for example, a variation pattern in which the effect button 18A is operated in the “operation effective period”). Also, FIG. 112 differs from FIG. 111 in whether it is a big hit or a loss, and since other points are common, detailed description is omitted.

  That is, in FIG. 112 (C), when “3S” has elapsed in the “operation effective period”, the first lever 17A is activated and the image indicating that the jackpot is displayed is displayed while the effect lever 19A is operated. Instead, an image (unfortunately!) Showing that it was lost is displayed. In FIG. 112D, since no operation was performed during the “operation effective period”, an image (unfortunately!) Indicating that a loss has occurred is displayed as the “operation effective period” elapses. Yes. Then, after the “waiting period”, the “designated display” of the production symbol “767” is performed. In the case of FIG. 112, as a predetermined effect in the “standby period”, an effect of notifying the possibility of a big hit in reverse may be performed. Here, “reversal jackpot” means that if a jackpot is determined in advance, it is changed from a display mode that shows a loss to a display mode that shows a jackpot before the “definite display” after the “waiting period”. It is. With this configuration, the player can be motivated to operate the effect button 18A and the effect lever 19A during the “operation effective period” as in FIG.

(Seventh specific example related to state transition)
Next, a seventh specific example relating to state transition will be described with reference to FIG. Note that FIG. 113 is a diagram illustrating a specific example of the predetermined effect performed in the “standby period” in FIG. 111A, and therefore, only points different from FIG. 111A will be described.

  That is, in FIG. 113 (E), when “3S” in the “operation effective period” has elapsed, the effect lever 19A is operated, the first decoration member 17A is actuated, and an image indicating that the jackpot has been reached is displayed. The premier character image (a character image that is displayed only when the jackpot is determined) is displayed. The predetermined premier character image can be displayed only for the “operation valid period”, can be continuously displayed from the “operation valid period” to the “standby period”, and becomes the “standby period”. The display can be started later. In this way, the player's willingness to operate the effect button 18A and the effect lever 19A during the “operation effective period” by displaying the predetermined premier character image only when the operation is performed during the “operation effective period”. Can be aroused. Such a predetermined premier character image may be displayed with a probability of “½”, for example, when the operation is performed in the “operation effective period”, or in the “operation effective period”. When an operation is performed, it may be displayed. Further, when no operation is performed during the “operation valid period”, it may not be displayed. In addition to the display of a predetermined premier character image, a premier sound (sound that is output only when a jackpot is determined) may be output from the sound output device 15. If comprised in this way, in the "operation effective period", the player's willingness to operate the production button 18A and the production lever 19A can be further aroused.

(Eighth specific example related to state transition)
Next, an eighth specific example relating to state transition will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 114 (A) shows an effect mode corresponding to the variation pattern performed in the low probability game state, and FIG. 114 (B) shows an effect mode corresponding to the variation pattern performed in the high probability game state. Yes. FIG. 114 (A) shows an aspect of the effects performed in the low-probability gaming state described in FIGS. 107 to 110, and FIG. 114 (B) is not mentioned in FIGS. 107 to 110 and the like. An aspect of the effect performed in the high probability gaming state is shown.

  That is, in FIG. 114 (A), as the effect mode corresponding to the variation pattern in the low-probability gaming state, after the effect symbol “change start”, a reach is formed through “change in progress”, and thereafter “super reach”. It shows that it has developed. This “super reach” indicates that the symbol indicating the loss is temporarily stopped (“767”), and then the first decorative member 17A is operated to develop “special reach”. Then, in “Special Reach”, it is shown that an effect in which the characters confront each other is performed, and after operating the effect button 18A or the effect lever 19A, the jackpot symbol is derived.

  On the other hand, in FIG. 114 (B), as an effect mode corresponding to the variation pattern in the high probability gaming state, “super reach” in the low probability gaming state is not performed, and after reaching reach, the transition is made to “special reach”. It is configured. That is, FIG. 114 (A) and FIG. 114 (B) differ only in part in whether or not an intermediate “super reach” (including development effects) is performed, and the other effects are the same. In the high-probability gaming state, it is desired that the so-called right-handed game is performed and the time from the start of symbol variation until the result of whether or not the big hit is derived is shorter than that in the low-probability gaming state. Therefore, in the example of FIG. 114 (B), the middle “super reach” is omitted, and after reaching the reach, it is directly developed into “special reach”, thereby shortening the digestion of the game in the high-probability gaming state. be able to.

(Other changes)
In the example of FIGS. 101 to 114 described above, the operation means has been described in relation to the effect button 18A and the effect lever 19A, but can be changed as follows.

  For example, the effect button 18A is in a position where it can be operated at all times, but the effect lever 19A may be configured to be operable when the effect lever 19A moves to an operable position. Specifically, the effect lever 19A is housed in the gaming machine frame at the initial position. For example, when the jackpot is determined, the probability is high (on the other hand, when the loss is determined). The player can operate the effect lever 19A by moving the effect lever 19A from the initial position to the operable position in a determined effect such as special reach with a low probability. When the big hit is determined, the effect lever 19A may be moved from the initial position to the operable position, and when the operation by the player is detected, the effect lever 19A may be vibrated. Further, instead of the vibration of the effect lever 19A, or together with the vibration of the effect lever 19A, a sound for notifying the jackpot may be output. That is, when the jackpot is determined, the effect lever 19A can be easily moved to the operable position (when the jackpot is determined) (change from the first mode to the second mode), When the jackpot is determined and the effect lever 19A at the operable position is operated by the player, the effect lever 19A is likely to vibrate (e.g., easily change from the second mode to the third mode). It can be said. The third aspect may be, for example, an aspect in which the light emitting part provided in the effect lever 19A emits light, or an aspect in which the decoration part is driven to change. It is assumed that these controls are performed by the lamp CPU 104a. Further, the effect button 18A and the effect lever 19A may be provided on the same member, or each may be provided on a separate and independent member.

  Moreover, you may comprise so that only either one of presentation button 18A or presentation lever 19A may be provided. For example, when only the effect button 18A is provided, the effect button 18A can be switched between the first mode and the second mode. For example, when a jackpot is determined, a high probability (while a loss is determined In the case of a special effect such as a special reach, the operation button 18A is switched from the first mode to the second mode, and the operation when the production button 18A is in the first mode, It can be operated by the operation in the second mode. The effect button 18A may be vibrated when the jackpot is determined. Further, instead of the vibration of the effect button 18A, or together with the vibration of the effect button 18A, a sound for notifying the jackpot may be output. That is, when the jackpot is determined, the effect button 18A is more easily changed to the second mode than when the loss is determined, and when the jackpot is determined, the second mode is changed. When a certain effect button 18A is operated by the player, it can be said that the effect button 18A is likely to vibrate (easily change from the second mode to the third mode). Note that, for example, the operation mode, the light emission mode, or the visual mode performed in the second mode may be changed to a third mode. Specifically, the vibration mode of the effect button 18A changes stepwise according to the gaming state, such as the first mode, the second mode, the third mode, the fourth mode, and so on. The changeable means such as its shape, light emission, rotation, and driving method may be changed stepwise according to the gaming state. Thus, the interest of the player can be improved by changing the effect in stages according to the gaming state. It is assumed that these controls are performed by the lamp CPU 104a.

  As described above, the gaming machine Y can be operated by the player, and the first state (non-protruding (or non-vibration, blue, etc.)) and the second state different from the first state The operation means (effect button (or operation lever, etc.)) that can be changed to (protrusion (or vibration, red, etc.)), and this operation means is operated during the operation valid state that enables the operation on the operation means. And an effect control means (sub CPU) for executing a predetermined effect based on the effect control means, in which the effect control means is in an operation-effective state in which an operation promotion notification is made to prompt the player to operate the operation means. In the first operation valid state, the operation means is in the first state or the second state, and in the second operation valid state in which the operation promotion notification is not performed, the operation means is set in the first state. The second state is not set

  As described above, the gaming machine Y changes the state of the operation means between the first operation effective state in which the operation promotion notification is made to prompt the player to operate the operation means and the second operation effective state in which the operation promotion notification is not performed. It offers a variety of different productions.

  Further, as described above, the gaming machine Y can be operated by the player with respect to the first operating means, the second operating means different from the first operating means, and the first operating means or the second operating means. A gaming machine comprising: an effect control means (sub CPU) for executing a predetermined effect based on an operation of the first operation means or the second operation means during an operation enabled state in which an operation is enabled. The control means controls the first operation means or the second operation means in the first operation valid state, which is an operation valid state in which an operation promotion notification is made to prompt the player to operate the first operation means or the second operation means. Based on the operation, the first operation means is operated in the second operation valid state, which is a valid operation state in which a predetermined effect corresponding to the operation is executed and the operation promotion notification is not performed. Based on the predetermined operation according to the operation Run the effect, be operated for the second operating means is not to perform a predetermined effect corresponding to the operation.

  As described above, the gaming machine Y executes a predetermined effect in the first operation valid state in which the operation promotion notification that prompts the player to operate the operation means is performed and in the second operation valid state in which the operation promotion notification is not performed. It provides a variety of effects with different operation means.

  As described above, the gaming machine Y can be operated by the player, and the first state (non-protruding (or non-vibration, blue, etc.)) is different from the first state (protruding). (Or vibration, red, etc.)) and an effect control means for executing a predetermined effect based on the operation means being operated during an operation valid state in which an operation on the operation means is enabled. The effect control means is a first operation effective state in which an operation promotion notification is made to prompt the player to operate the operation means during execution of the game effect related to the game.

As shown, the jackpot expectation varies depending on the combination. Thereby, a jackpot expectation degree can be alert | reported to a player in multiple steps, and the interest of a game can be improved.

  In the present embodiment, in the specific effect, the jackpot expectation is calculated using the vibration speed of the effect button 18A, the presence / absence of pseudo sound output of the effect button 18A that vibrates, and the presence / absence of the image display of the effect button 18A. Although it is suggested, the present invention is not limited thereto, and for example, the size of the image of the effect button 18A to be displayed, the difference between 2D and 3D, the difference in color, the difference in the size of sound to be output, and the like may be used. Further, the sound output in the specific effect may not be a pseudo sound of the effect button 18A that vibrates, but may be a sound effect specific to the specific effect, a specific speech, or the like. When performing a specific effect, a plurality of types of sounds may be output, and the jackpot expectation may be suggested depending on the type of sound to be output.

  In addition, the specific effect may be performed not by the vibration of the effect button 18A but by the vibration of the effect lever 19A, or by the lighting or flashing of the LED incorporated in the effect button 18A, instead of the vibration of the effect button 18A. The effect may be shown as if 18A is operating. Further, a specific effect may be performed by moving an object provided inside the effect button 18A, and the expectation of jackpot may be suggested based on the presence / absence of the operation of the object and the speed of the operation. Moreover, a specific effect may be performed by rotating the effect button 18A, and the degree of expectation of jackpot may be suggested depending on the presence / absence of rotation, the rotation speed, and the rotation direction. Further, a specific effect may be performed by projecting the effect button 18A.

  In the present embodiment, in the low-probability gaming state that is the normal gaming state and the non-short-time gaming state (when in the presentation mode A), as shown in FIGS. 44 to 45, the presentation is the first operation means. The ratio of performing the operation promotion notification for prompting the operation of the button 18A is higher than the ratio of performing the operation promotion notification for prompting the operation of the effect lever 19A as the second operation means. On the other hand, in the case of the high-probability gaming state and the short-time gaming state (when the production modes are B to D) that are the specific gaming state, as shown in FIGS. 46 to 51, the operation of the effect lever 19A as the second operation means is performed. The ratio of performing the prompting operation notification is higher than the ratio of performing the prompting operation prompting the operation of the effect button 18A as the first operation means. Therefore, in the low-probability gaming state and the non-short-time gaming state, the player frequently uses the effect button 18A, and in the high-probability gaming state and the short-time gaming state, the player frequently uses the effect lever 19A. . Thereby, the pleasure which the operation means selects according to the game state can be given to the player, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  In the present embodiment, depending on the gaming state, the ratio of performing the operation promotion notification for prompting the operation of the effect button 18A is different from the ratio of performing the operation promotion notification for prompting the operation of the performance lever 19A. For example, in the low-probability gaming state and the non-short-time gaming state, only the operation promotion notification that prompts the operation of the effect button 18A is performed without performing the operation promotion notification that prompts the operation of the effect lever 19A, or the high-probability game. In the state and the short-time gaming state, the operation promotion notification that prompts the operation of the effect lever 19A may be performed without performing the operation promotion notification that prompts the operation of the effect button 18A. In addition, for example, in the low probability gaming state and the non-short-time gaming state, the operation promotion notification that prompts the operation of the effect button 18A and the operation promotion notification that prompts the operation of the effect lever 19A are performed, but in the high-probability gaming state and the time-short gaming state. Instead of performing the operation promotion notification for prompting the operation of the effect button 18A, only the operation promotion notification for prompting the operation of the effect lever 19A may be performed.

However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the appearance frequency of the effect using the effect button 18A and the appearance frequency of the effect using the effect lever 19A are different in the high-probability gaming state and the short-time gaming state, for example, in the first half period and the second half period. You may make it let. In the present embodiment, for example, in the production mode B, the ratio of performing the operation promotion notification for urging the operation of the production button 18A as the first operation means is urged to operate the production lever 19A as the second operation means. It is higher than the ratio for performing the operation promotion notification, and when in the production mode C, the ratio for performing the operation promotion notification for prompting the operation of the performance lever 19A is higher than the ratio for performing the operation promotion notification for prompting the operation of the performance button 18A. To do. Further, in the effect mode D, the ratio of performing the operation promotion notification that prompts the operation of the effect lever 19A is made higher than that in the effect mode C. Thereby, the interest of the game when it is a high probability game state and a short time game state can be improved.

  Further, it is possible to execute a reach effect using only the effect button 18A and a reach effect using only the effect lever 19A, and the execution frequency of the reach effect using only the effect button 18A is low in the low probability game state and the non-short-time game state. In a high and high-probability gaming state and a short-time gaming state, the execution frequency of the reach effect using only the effect lever 19A may be increased. In addition, the production includes a production dedicated to the production button 18A and a production dedicated to the production lever 19A. In the low-probability gaming state and the non-short-time gaming state, the production frequency of the production button 18A-specific production is high, and the high-probability gaming state and In the short-time gaming state, the appearance frequency of the effect dedicated to the effect lever 19A may be increased.

  In addition, in the operation promotion notification for prompting the operation of the effect button 18A, it is possible to execute an effect that prompts a plurality of operations of the effect button 18A, such as “Please press the button repeatedly”. Count once. For example, even if there is one operation promotion notification that prompts the player to operate the effect button 18A five times, if there is two operation promotion notifications that prompt the user to operate the effect lever 19A, the player uses the effect button 18A. It can be said that the frequency of using the effect lever 19A is higher than the frequency of performing.

  Further, in the present embodiment, there are two operation means, that is, the effect button 18A as the first operation means and the effect lever 19A as the second operation means. However, the present invention is not limited to this. You may have a kind of operation means. In the case of having three or more types of operation means, the frequency of use of each operation means (appearance ratio of the operation promotion notification that prompts the operation of each operation means) may be varied depending on the gaming state.

  Further, in the present embodiment, it is possible to set the low probability gaming state and non-time saving gaming state as the normal gaming state and the high probability gaming state and time saving gaming state as the specific gaming state. A gaming state such as a stochastic gaming state and a short-time gaming state, or a high-probability gaming state and a non-time-saving gaming state may correspond to the specific gaming state.

  In the present embodiment, the operation promotion notification that prompts the user to operate the effect button 18A is a low-probability gaming state that is a normal gaming state and a non-probable gaming state that is not a high-probability gaming state that is a specific gaming state and a short-time gaming state. The rate of execution is higher in the short-time gaming state. That is, in the high-probability gaming state and the short-time gaming state, the ratio of performing the operation promotion notification that prompts the operation of the effect button 18A is lower than in the low-probability gaming state that is the normal gaming state and the non-short-time gaming state. . Thereby, it is possible to improve the production effect of the production using the production button 18A.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the operation promotion notification that prompts the operation of the effect lever 19A is higher than the low probability gaming state that is the normal gaming state and the non-temporary gaming state, and the high probability gaming state that is the specific gaming state and The rate of execution is higher in the short-time gaming state. That is, in the high-probability gaming state and the short-time gaming state, the ratio of performing the operation promotion notification that prompts the operation of the effect lever 19A is higher than in the low-probability gaming state that is the normal gaming state and the non-short-time gaming state. . Thereby, it is possible to improve the production effect of the production using the production lever 19A.

  In the gaming machine Y, when the main CPU 101a executes the jackpot game, after the jackpot game is finished, the specific game advantageous to the player as compared with the normal game state (low probability game state and non-time-short game state). A state (high probability gaming state and short-time gaming state) is set, and in the specific gaming state, the specific gaming state is terminated when the number of jackpot determinations (the number of times that the special symbol display can be executed) reaches 84 times. It was described as “ST machine”. However, the gaming machine of the present invention is not limited to the “ST machine”, and the high probability state continues until the next jackpot is won (or the high probability gaming state continues, for example, 10,000 times). It may be a gaming machine having a “big hit” and a “normal jackpot” in which the gaming state after the big hit game becomes a low probability gaming state.

  When the gaming machine Y is such a gaming machine, the period during which the special symbol after the jackpot game is fluctuated from 1 to 99 times is referred to as the “first period” described above, and the jackpot game The period in which the number of subsequent changes in the special symbol is 100 times or more may be set as the “second period”. In this case, the sub CPU 102a sets the operation effective period during the variation effect in the “second period” at a higher rate than the “first period”.

  Note that the gaming machine of the present invention is not limited to a pachinko gaming machine, but can also be used for a jigyan ball gaming machine and an arrangement ball gaming machine.
