If it is detected that there is no special symbol start signal, the start signal flag is turned off in step S22. If it is detected that there is a special symbol start signal, the start signal flag is turned on in step S23. That is, when the game ball wins in the special symbol start port 24, a special symbol start signal is output from the input circuit 54, and the start signal flag is turned on.
4-3. Counter Update Processing When the CPU 51 proceeds to the counter update processing in step S5 in FIG. 4, “1” is added to the current measurement values of the random counters R1 to R3. These random counters R1 to R3 are added from a common initial value “0” to a different upper limit value and then cyclically added back to the initial value “0”. The addition contents of the random counters R1 to R3 are as follows: It is as follows.
(1) The random counter R1 corresponds to a random value for selecting a variation pattern, and is added cyclically by returning to the initial value “0” after being added from the initial value “0” to the upper limit value “100”. The

4-4. Data Acquisition Process When the CPU 51 finishes the counter update process in step S5 in FIG. 4, the CPU 51 proceeds to the data acquisition process in step S6, and determines the setting state of the start signal flag in step S31 in FIG. Here, when it is detected that the start signal flag is turned on, the process proceeds to step S 32, and the measured value of the counter N 1 is compared with the upper limit value MAX (4) recorded in the ROM 52. The counter N1 measures the number of special symbol games held. When the CPU 51 determines “N1 <MAX” in step S32, it determines that the number of special symbol games held has not reached the upper limit. And it transfers to step S33 and acquires the present measured value of random counter R1-R3.

  In the RAM 53 of the main control circuit 50, four reserved data areas E1 to E4 are set as shown in FIG. The order of use “1” to “4” is assigned to these four reserved data areas E1 to E4, and the CPU 51 of the main control circuit 50 acquires the measured values of the random counters R1 to R3 in step S33 of FIG. Then, in step S34, the acquisition results of the random counters R1 to R3 are stored in the area with the smallest usage order among the unused reserved data areas. For example, when the random counters R1 to R3 are stored in both the reserved data area E1 in the usage order “1” and the reserved data area E2 in the usage order “2”, the reserved data in the blank space having the minimum usage order “3” is stored. The area E3 stores the acquisition results of the random counters R1 to R3. That is, the random counters R1 to R3 are stored in the reserved data areas E1 to E4 in the order of acquisition, and the usage orders 1 to 4 correspond to information indicating the acquisition order.

When the CPU 51 stores the acquisition results of the random counters R1 to R3 in step S34 in FIG. 6, the number of special symbol games held is updated based on adding “1” to the counter N1 in step S35.
4-5. Big hit determination process When the CPU 51 detects that the main control flag is set in the big hit determination process, the CPU 51 proceeds from the data acquisition process in step S6 in FIG. 4 to the big hit determination process in step S7, and in step S41 in FIG. It is determined whether or not random counters R1 to R3 are stored in the reserved data area E1. If it is detected that the random counters R1 to R3 are stored in the hold data area E1, the acquisition result of the random counter R3 is detected from the hold data area E1 in step S42, and the detection result of the random counter R3 is set to the jackpot value “ 7 ”. The jackpot value “7” is recorded in the ROM 52 of the main control circuit 50. When the CPU 51 detects that the detection result of the random counter R3 is the same as the jackpot value “7”, it determines that the jackpot value is a big hit. In S43, the big hit flag is turned on. Further, when it is detected in step S42 that the detection result of the random counter R3 is different from the big hit value “7”, it is determined to be out, and the big hit flag is turned off in step S44. That is, the big hit is determined with a fixed probability of “1/249”.

  When the CPU 51 proceeds to step S45, it determines the set state of the big hit flag. If it is determined that the big hit flag is turned on, the process proceeds to step S46, and the special symbol “7” is set. If it is determined in step S45 that the big hit flag has been turned off, the process proceeds to step S47, and a special symbol “-” is set. That is, the special symbol “7” is set when the big hit is determined, and the special symbol “−” is set when the loss is determined.

  When the special symbol “-” is set in step S47, the CPU 51 detects the acquisition result of the random counter R2 from the reserved data area E1 in step S48, and compares it with the ten outreach values “0-9”. These outlier reach values are recorded in the ROM 52 of the main control circuit 50. When the CPU 51 determines in step S48 that the detection result of the random counter R2 is the same as one of the ten outlier reach values, the outlier reach value is obtained. In step S49, the release reach flag is turned on. If it is determined in step S48 that the detection result of the random counter R2 is different from any of the 10 outreach values, it is determined that it is completely out, and the outreach flag is turned off in step S50.

When proceeding to step S51, the CPU 51 sets a winning command as shown in the following (1) to (3). In step S52, the winning command setting result is transmitted to the effect control circuit 70, and in step S53, the variation pattern setting process is set in the main control flag.
(1) When the big hit flag is turned on, the winning command “big hit” is set.
(2) When the big hit flag is off and the outreach flag is on, the winning command “outreach reach” is set.
(3) When both the big hit flag and the miss reach flag are off, the winning command “completely miss” is set.

Fluctuation Pattern Setting Process When the CPU 51 detects that the main control flag is set in the fluctuation pattern setting process, the CPU 51 proceeds from the data acquisition process in step S6 in FIG. 4 to the fluctuation pattern setting process in step S8, and in step S61 in FIG. To determine the setting state of the big hit flag. When it is determined that the big hit flag is turned on, it is determined that the big hit is determined in the previous big hit determination process, and the process proceeds to step S62.

  In the ROM 52 of the main control circuit 50, a variation pattern table for big hits and a variation pattern table for outreach are recorded. Each of these variation pattern tables shows the correlation between the random counter R1, the variation pattern, and the variation display time. When the CPU 51 proceeds to step S62, the CPU 51 selects a variation pattern table for big hit from the ROM 52, and proceeds to step S63. . Here, the acquisition result of the random counter R1 is detected from the reserved data area E1, and the variation pattern for big hit corresponding to the detection result of the random counter R1 is selected from the variation pattern table for big hit. FIG. 10 shows the recorded contents of the big hit variation pattern table. In the big hit variation pattern table, variation patterns P1 to P4 are set.

  When the CPU 51 selects the big hit variation pattern in step S63 in FIG. 9, the CPU 51 selects the variation display time corresponding to the variation pattern selection result from the big hit variation pattern table in FIG. 10 in step S64. For example, when the detection result of the random counter R1 is “10”, the variation pattern “P1” is selected, and when the variation pattern selection result is “P1”, the variation display time “30 sec” is selected.

  When the CPU 51 determines that the big hit flag is turned off in step S61 of FIG. 9, the CPU 51 determines that a loss reach or complete loss has been determined in the previous big hit determination process. In this case, the process proceeds from step S61 to step S65, and the setting state of the detach reach flag is determined. Here, when it is determined that the outreach flag is on, it is determined that the outreach has been determined in the previous jackpot determination process, and a variation pattern table for outreach is selected from the ROM 52 in step S66. In step S67, the acquisition result of the random counter R1 is detected from the reserved data area E1, and the fluctuation pattern for outreach according to the detection result of the random counter R1 is selected from the fluctuation pattern table for outreach.

  FIG. 11 shows the recording contents of the variation pattern table for outreach, and variation patterns P5 to P8 are set in the variation pattern table for outreach. These fluctuation patterns P5 to P8 for outreach are those for generating the same system images with the same development of effects as the fluctuation patterns P1 to P4 for big hits. When a pattern is selected, in step S68, a variation display time corresponding to the variation pattern selection result is selected from the variation pattern table for outlier reach in FIG. For example, when the detection result of the random counter R1 is “5”, the variation pattern “P5” is selected, and when the variation pattern selection result is “P5”, the variation display time “28 sec” is selected.

  When the CPU 51 determines in step S65 in FIG. 9 that the release reach flag has been turned off, the CPU 51 determines that a complete release has been determined in the previous jackpot determination process. In step S69, the fluctuation pattern P9 is selected. In step S70, the fluctuation display time “3 sec” corresponding to the fluctuation pattern P9 is selected.

When the CPU 51 selects the variation pattern and the variation display time, the variation pattern command is set to the variation pattern command in step S71 of FIG. And the setting result of a fluctuation pattern command is transmitted to the production | presentation control circuit 70, and it transfers to step S72. Here, the selection result of the fluctuation table time is set in the timer T1, and in step S73, a special symbol fluctuation start process is set in the main control flag. In other words, the effect control circuit 70 is transmitted with the selection result of the variation pattern in addition to the determination result of the big hit, the loss reach, and the complete loss.
4-7. Special symbol variation start process When the CPU 51 detects that the main control flag is set in the special symbol variation start process, the CPU 51 proceeds from the data acquisition process in step S6 in FIG. 4 to the special symbol variation start process in step S9. In step S81, a special symbol variation start signal is output to the LED circuit 57. Then, the LED circuit 57 starts the special symbol variation display based on detecting the special symbol variation start signal.

When the CPU 51 outputs a special symbol variation start signal in step S81, the CPU 51 transmits a decorative symbol variation start command to the effect control circuit 70 in step S82. And it transfers to step S83 and sets a special symbol fluctuation | variation stop process to a main control flag. This decoration symbol variation start command is equivalent to a decoration symbol game start command, and the production control circuit 70 starts the visual production of the decoration symbol game based on receiving the decoration symbol variation start command. The design control circuit 80 is instructed, the sound control circuit 90 is instructed to start the sound design of the decorative design game, and the design control circuit 100 is instructed to start the electrical design of the design design game.

Special Symbol Fluctuation Stop Process When the CPU 51 detects that the main control flag is set to the special symbol fluctuation stop process, the CPU 51 proceeds from the data acquisition process at step S6 in FIG. 4 to the special symbol fluctuation stop process at step S10. In step S91, the remaining time of the special symbol game and the remaining time of the decorative symbol game are updated based on subtracting the set value ΔT1 from the current measured value of the timer T1. Then, the process proceeds to step S92, and the subtraction result of the timer T1 is compared with “0”.

  When the CPU 51 detects that the subtraction result of the timer T1 is “0” in step S92, it determines the end of the special symbol game and the decorative symbol game, and outputs a special symbol fluctuation stop signal to the LED circuit 57 in step S93. This special symbol fluctuation stop signal instructs to stop the special symbol fluctuation display according to the selection result of the jackpot determination process, and the LED circuit 57 changes the special symbol fluctuation based on the provision of the special symbol fluctuation stop signal. The display stops at either of the selection results “7” and “−”.

  When the CPU 51 outputs a special symbol variation stop signal to the LED circuit 57 in step S93, the CPU 51 transmits a decorative symbol variation stop command to the effect control circuit 70 in step S94. This decoration symbol variation stop command corresponds to a stop command of the decoration symbol game, and the effect control circuit 70 stops the visual effect of the decoration symbol game based on detecting the decoration symbol variation stop command. Instruct the symbol control circuit 80 to instruct the sound control circuit 90 to stop the sound effect of the decorative symbol game, and instruct the electrical control circuit 100 to stop the electrical effect of the decorative symbol game. To do.

  When the CPU 51 transmits the decorative symbol variation stop command in step S94, the CPU 51 determines the set state of the big hit flag in step S95. Here, when it is detected that the big hit flag is off, a big hit determination process is set in the main control flag in step S96, and when a big hit flag is detected, the big hit game process is set in the main control flag in step S97.

When proceeding to step S98, the CPU 51 subtracts the number of times the special symbol game is held based on subtracting “1” from the counter N1. Then, the process proceeds to step S99, and the reserved data area of the RAM 53 is organized. In this process, the random counters R1 to R3 in the reserved data area E1 are erased, and when the random counters R1 to R3 are stored after the holding data area E2 is included, the random counters R1 to R3 are used one order before. For example, when the random counters R1 to R3 are stored in the hold data area E1, the hold data area E2, and the hold data area E3, the random counters R1 to R3 of the hold data area E1 are deleted. The random counters R1 to R3 of the reserved data area E2 are moved to the previous reserved data area E1, and the random counters R1 to R3 of the reserved data area E3 are moved to the previous reserved data area E2.

The CPU 91 of the sound control circuit 90 stops the process of reproducing the sound data for the big hit round based on the reception of the big hit round stop command from the effect control circuit 70, and the CPU 101 of the illumination control circuit 100 receives the signal from the effect control circuit 70. On the basis of receiving the big hit round stop command, the reproduction processing of the big hit round illumination data is stopped. The CPU 81 of the symbol control circuit 80 instructs the VDP 84 to stop playback of the video data for the big hit round based on the reception of the big hit round stop command from the effect control circuit 70, and the VDP 84 is instructed to stop the playback. And stop playing the video data for the big hit round.
6). Internal processing of the symbol control circuit 80 The video data V1-1 to V1-2 in FIG. 23 are selected when the main control circuit 50 sets the variation pattern P1 for big hit, and the video data V1-1 includes The big hit notice is not inserted, and the big hit notice is inserted in the video data V1-2. This jackpot notice is performed by cutting in a special notice picture immediately after the three rows of decorative symbols start to change, and the video data V1-1 to V1-2 are mutually connected in the presence or absence of the jackpot notice. Is different.

  The video data V1-1 to V1-2 are used to generate the same system of images with the same content of production, and when the video data V1-1 to V1-2 are reproduced, three rows of decorative symbols are simultaneously displayed. The reach state is generated based on the fact that the fluctuation starts and the left column and the right column sequentially change and stop according to the setting result. Before the reach state occurs, the self-retail effect 1 occurs, and after the reach state occurs, the bargain effect occurs. The self-retiring effect 1 is a content in which the main character repeats self-repetition and retirement, and in the self-rejecting rendition 1, 13 steps are in a listening state. The bargain effect is a content in which the characters compete with each other, and after the bargain effect, the three rows of decorative symbols are stopped and displayed in a combination of jackpots.

26 to 29 show the reproduction results of the video data V1-1 and V1-2. FIGS. 24 to 25 show the case where the VDP 84 of the symbol control circuit 80 reproduces the video data V1-1 and V1-2. The processing content of is shown. The video data V1-1 is reproduced based on the VDP 84 generating a display signal based on the decompression result of the video data V1-1 and outputting the display signal generation result to the LCD circuit 87. V1-2 is reproduced when the VDP 84 generates a display signal based on the decompression result of the video data V1-2, and outputs the display signal generation result to the LCD circuit 87. FIG. 25 video data reproduction processing is VDP 84 display signal generation processing. Hereinafter, the video data reproduction process will be described.
Step S501: The dog picture 111 is displayed (see a in FIG. 26). This dog pattern 111 is a hero of the reach action, and corresponds to the first production pattern.
Step S502: Display 13 hand-painted patterns 112 (see a in FIG. 26). The hand tile pattern 112 refers to a mahjong tile pattern and is displayed face down so that its type cannot be identified.
Step S503: The three columns of the left column, the middle column, and the right column of the decorative symbol are simultaneously started to change (see a in FIG. 26). This variation display of the decorative symbols is performed within the dedicated symbol display area 113, the moving direction of each column of the decorative symbols is set from the top to the bottom, and the change order of each column of the decorative symbols is “one” → “2” → “three”… → “seven” → “eight” → “one”...
Step S504: Thirteen hand-painted patterns 112 are displayed face up so that their types can be identified (see b in FIG. 26). This hand-painted pattern 112 corresponds to an identification pattern, and symbols such as numbers and letters are attached as identification information for identifying the big hit and miss as with each row of decorative patterns.
Step S505: The left column of decorative symbols is stopped and displayed based on the setting result of the effect control circuit 70 (see FIG. 26c).
Step S506: The “three-cylinder” self-contained picture 114 is displayed in a larger size than the hand-painted picture 112 (see c in FIG. 26). The “three-cylinder” self-remembering pattern 114 is displayed above the 13 hand-clawed patterns 112, and the self-removal effect 1 is displayed by displaying the “three-cylinder” self-restricting pattern 114. Be started.
Step S507: The “three-cylinder” self-contained pattern 114 is erased. Then, a “three-cylinder” handcuffs picture 112 is displayed between a “6 bamboo” handcuffs picture 112 and a “six-cylinder” handcuffs picture 112. An effect in which 114 is captured by hand is generated (see d in FIG. 26).
Step S508: The pattern 112 of the “west” handcuff is deleted. Then, the “West” discarded pattern 115 is displayed on the left side of the dog pattern 111, and the “West” hand-drawn pattern 112 is discarded as an unnecessary trap in the river (see d in FIG. 26).

Step S513: The “three-cylinder” self-contained pattern 114 is deleted. Then, a “three-cylinder” handcuffs picture 112 is displayed between the “six-cylinder” handcuffs picture 112 and the “three-cylinders” handcuffs picture 112, and the “three-cylinders” handcuffs picture 112 is displayed. An effect in which 114 is captured by hand is generated (see h in FIG. 26).
Step S514: The “white” hand-claw pattern 112 is erased. Then, the “white” discarded pattern 115 is displayed side by side on the right side of the “east” discarded pattern 115, and the “white” hand-drawn pattern 112 is discarded as an unnecessary trap in the river (FIG. 26). See h). The self-retailing production 1 ends with a production in which the “white” hand-painted pattern 112 is thrown away into the river, and the 13-hand hand-painted pattern 112 immediately before the combination of “peace” is the winning combination. The end result is a combination of hearing. This “peace” combination informs that the decorative symbol is a jackpot combination.
Step S515: The right column of the decorative symbols is stopped and displayed according to the setting result of the effect control circuit 70 (see h in FIG. 26). The video data V1-1 and V1-2 are selected when the main control circuit 50 sets the variation pattern P1 for jackpot, and the symbols are displayed when the left and right columns of the decorative symbols are stopped. A reach state occurs in which two numbers of the same kind are arranged in the region 113.
Step S516: The dog pattern 111, the 13 hand-drawn patterns 112, the three discarded patterns 115, and the decorative pattern are erased.
Step S517: A flash image is generated, and an effect is produced in which light is emitted from the center of the screen toward the outer periphery (see a in FIG. 27). The bargain production starts from step S517.

The dog pattern 111, the girl's pattern 117, the housewife's pattern 118, and the housewife B pattern 119 The picture 116 is displayed in a state of being enclosed. The housewife's pattern 118 and the housewife's pattern 119 correspond to a production pattern with no identification information attached.
Step S524: The dog pattern 111, the girl's pattern 117, the housewife's pattern 118, and the housewife's pattern 119 are simultaneously moved and displayed toward the yam pattern 116, and the dog's pattern 111, the girl's pattern 117, and the housewife's pattern 118 are displayed. The image of the housewife's pattern 119 jumps to the foothill pattern 116 all at once (see g in FIG. 27).
Step S525: The dog design 111, the yam design 116, the girls design 117, the housewife design 118, and the housewife design 119 are erased, and the soil smoke design 120 is displayed (see h in FIG. 27). The soil smoke pattern 120 corresponds to a cover pattern. By displaying the soil smoke pattern 120, the dog pattern 111, the yam pattern 116, the girl pattern 117, the housewife pattern 118, and the housewife pattern 119 are displayed. Produces an effect that is covered with the earthen-smoke pattern 120.
Step S526: A part of the girl's pattern 117 and the star's pattern 121 are superposed on the earthwork pattern 120, and the dog pattern 111, the girl's pattern 117, the housewife's pattern 118, and the housewife's pattern 119 take mahjong tiles from the yam. A matching video is generated (see i in FIG. 27).
Step S527: The “three-cylinder” mahjong tile pattern 122 is displayed in a small size on the right upper side of the earth smoke pattern 120, and a video of the mahjong tile that the dog pattern 111 has taken out from the soil smoke is displayed (FIG. 28) A)). This “three-cylinder” mahjong tile pattern 122 is not a combination of the 13 hand tile patterns 112 of “peace” but corresponds to a discriminating identification pattern.
Step S528: The “three-cylinder” mahjong tile pattern 122 is statically displayed in a large size at the center of the soil smoke pattern 120 (see b in FIG. 28). The static display of the “three-cylinder” mahjong tile pattern 122 is performed for the purpose of clarifying the type of the mahjong tile that the dog pattern 111 has taken away. It is erased based on the elapse of the set time.
Step S529: The “2 bamboo” mahjong tile pattern 122 is displayed in a small size on the diagonally upper right side of the soil smoke pattern 120, and an image of the mahjong tile that the dog pattern 111 has taken out from the soil smoke is displayed (FIG. 28). C)). This “2 bamboo” mahjong tile pattern 122 is not a combination of the 13 hand-painted patterns 112 of “peace” but corresponds to a discriminating identification pattern.
Step S530: The “2 bamboo” mahjong tile pattern 122 is statically displayed in a large size at the center of the soil smoke pattern 120 (see d in FIG. 28), and is erased based on the elapse of the set time.
Step S531: A “30,000” mahjong tile pattern 122 is displayed in a small size on the diagonally upper right side of the soil smoke pattern 120, and an image of the mahjong tile that the dog pattern 111 has taken out from the soil smoke is displayed (FIG. 28).

Step S532: A “30,000” mahjong tile pattern 122 is statically displayed in a large size at the center of the soil smoke pattern 120 (see f in FIG. 28). This “30,000” mahjong tile pattern 122 is a hit, and the “three-cylinder” mahjong tile pattern 122 and the “2 bamboo” mahjong tile pattern 122 that are the loose tiles. Thus, it is not erased based on the elapse of the set time.
Step S533: The earth / smoke pattern 120 is deleted (see g in FIG. 28). Then, the housewife's pattern 118 is displayed in a state of being tilted diagonally to the upper left of the “30,000” mahjong tile pattern 122 and the housewife's pattern 119 is tilted to the upper right of the “30,000” mahjong tile pattern 122. In this state, two housewives generate a video that is defeated by the mahjong tiles.
Step S534: A picture of the dog pattern 111 grabbing the mahjong tile pattern 122 with "30,000" from the left and the girl pattern 117 grabbing the mahjong tile pattern 122 with "30,000" from the right is displayed (FIG. 28g), the dog pattern 111 and the girl pattern 117 produce an effect of holding each other with the pattern 122 of “30,000” mahjong tiles. In this step S534, the distance between the dog pattern 111 and the “30,000” mahjong tile pattern 122 is “0”, and the distance between the girl pattern 117 and the “30,000” mahjong tile pattern 122 is “0”. ”, And the distance from the“ 30,000 ”mahjong tile pattern 122 of the dog pattern 111 and the girls pattern 117 is equal to each other.
Step S535: The housewife's pattern 118 and the housewife's pattern 119 are erased. Then, an image is displayed in which the mahjong tile pattern 122 in which the dog pattern 111 and the girl pattern 117 are “30,000” is pulled at the center in the horizontal direction of the screen (see h in FIG. 28).
Step S536: The dog pattern 111, the girls pattern 117, and the "30,000" mahjong tile pattern 122 are moved from the left and right center of the screen to the left side, and the dog pattern 111 is "30,000". An effect of pulling 122 preferentially is generated (see a in FIG. 29).
Step S537: The image of the girl's pattern 117 is released from the pattern 122 of the mahjong tile with “30,000”, and a sitting image is displayed (see b in FIG. 29). Then, the dog pattern 111 lifts the “30,000” mahjong tile pattern 122, and produces the effect of taking the “30,000” mahjong tile pattern 122 from the girls' pattern 117. In this step S537, the dog pattern 111 and the “30,000” mahjong tile pattern 122 are in an approaching state, and the female pattern 117 and the “30,000” mahjong tile pattern 122 are in a separated state compared to the approaching state. become. The bargain effect ends in step S537.
Step S538: The girls' pattern 117 and the “30,000” mahjong tile pattern 122 are deleted. Then, 13 patterns 112 are displayed in the state of hearing immediately before the combination of “peace”, and 3 discarded patterns 115 are displayed. The column is stopped and displayed according to the setting result of the effect control circuit 70, and the video is returned to the video when the self-rejection effect 1 is completed (see c in FIG. 29).
Step S539: The self-stitching pattern 114 of “30,000” is displayed above the thirteen handcuffs 112 in a size larger than that of the handcuffs picture 112 (see d in FIG. 29).
Step S540: The “123” balloon pattern 123 is displayed (see e of FIG. 29), and the player is informed that the 13 handbags 112 are in a “peace” combination.
Step S541: The middle row of the decorative symbols is stopped and displayed according to the setting result of the effect control circuit 70 (see f in FIG. 29). These video data V1-1 and V1-2 are reproduced when the main control circuit 50 determines a big hit, and the decorative symbols are the same three based on the last middle row being stopped and displayed. It becomes a big hit combination with numbers.

  Video data V5-1 to V5-2 in FIG. 23 are selected when the main control circuit 50 sets a predetermined fluctuation pattern P5 for detachment. These video data V5-1 to V5-2 generate a self-retailing effect 1 before the occurrence of the reach state and generate a bargain effect after the occurrence of the reach state, and are different from each other in the presence or absence of a big hit notice. . In these video data V5-1 to V5-2, as shown in FIG. 30 (a), the dog pattern 111, the girl pattern 117, and the "30,000" mahjong tile pattern 122 are displayed in the horizontal center of the screen. To the right side, and the effect that the girls' pattern 117 pulls the mahjong tile pattern 122 of “30,000” predominantly occurs. Then, as shown in FIG. 30 (b), the dog pattern 111 sits with the hand away from the “30,000” mahjong tile pattern 122, and the female pattern 117 represents the “30,000” mahjong tile pattern 122. The image of lifting up is displayed, and an effect is produced in which the girl's pattern 117 has taken the “30,000” mahjong tile pattern 122 from the dog pattern 111. In this case, the dog pattern 111 and the “30,000” mahjong tile pattern 122 are in a separated state, and the female pattern 117 and the “30,000” mahjong tile pattern 122 are close to each other as compared to the separated state. become.

  In the video data V5-1 to V5-2, as shown in (c) of FIG. 30, the display state is returned to the display state when the self-reduction effect 1 ends after the completion of the bargain effect, as shown in (d) of FIG. In addition, “80,000” self-contained patterns 114 different from the winning tiles are displayed above the 13 hand-painted patterns 112. Then, as shown in (e) of FIG. 30, the middle row of the decorative symbols is stopped and displayed according to the setting result of the effect control circuit 70. These video data V5-1 to V5-2 are reproduced when the main control circuit 50 determines that the reach is out, and the decorative symbols are removed based on the last middle row being stopped and displayed. It becomes a combination of reach.

  The video data V2-1 to V2-2 in FIG. 23 are selected when the main control circuit 50 sets the big hit variation pattern P2. These video data V2-1 to V2-2 are of the same system in which the self-retiring effect 1 is generated before the reach state is generated and the self-rejecting effect 2 is generated after the reach state is generated. Are different from each other. This self-repeating effect 2 has a content in which the main character's dog pattern 111 repeats self-repealing in the state of listening to the 13 hand-drawn patterns 112, and ends with the ending that the dog's pattern 111 self-recognizes. After the self-rejecting effect 2 is finished, the middle row of the decorative symbols is stopped and displayed according to the setting result of the effect control circuit 70, and the three rows of the decorative symbols become a big hit combination.

  The video data V6-1 to V6-2 in FIG. 23 are selected when the main control circuit 50 sets the deviation variation pattern P6. These video data V6-1 to V6-2 are of the same system in which the self-retiring effect 1 is generated before the reach state is generated and the self-rejecting effect 2 is generated after the reach state is generated. Are different from each other. In these video data V6-1 to V6-2, the self-reelection effect 2 ends with the ending that the dog's pattern 111 sheds without self-recognition. After the end of the self-descending effect 2, the middle row of the decorative symbols is stopped and displayed according to the setting result of the effect control circuit 70, and the three rows of decorative symbols are removed and become a combination of reach.

  The video data V3-1 to V3-2 in FIG. 23 are selected when the main control circuit 50 sets the big hit variation pattern P3. These video data V3-1 to V3-2 are of the same system in which the self-retailing effect 1 is generated before the reach state is generated, and the vertical effect and the self-rejecting effect 2 are generated after the reach state is generated. They differ from each other in the presence or absence. This upright production is an effect of declaring uprightness by displaying an image in which the dog design 111 presents a dot stick design. In the video data V3-1 to V3-2, the dog design 111 is a hit. The self-retiring effect 2 ends with the ending of self-recognition. After the self-rejecting effect 2 is finished, the middle row of the decorative symbols is stopped and displayed according to the setting result of the effect control circuit 70, and the three rows of the decorative symbols become a big hit combination.

  The video data V7-1 to V7-2 in FIG. 23 are selected when the main control circuit 50 sets the variation pattern P7 for detachment. These video data V7-1 to V7-2 are of the same system in which the self-retailing effect 1 is generated before the reach state occurs, and the upright effect and the self-rejecting effect 2 are generated after the reach state occurs. They differ from each other in the presence or absence. In these video data V7-1 to V7-2, the self-reelection effect 2 ends with the ending that the dog's pattern 111 is rushed without self-recognition. After the end of the self-descending effect 2, the middle row of the decorative symbols is stopped and displayed according to the setting result of the effect control circuit 70, and the three rows of decorative symbols are removed and become a combination of reach.

  The video data V4-1 to V4-2 in FIG. 23 are selected when the main control circuit 50 sets the big hit variation pattern P4. These video data V4-1 to V4-2 are of the same system in which the self-reduction effect 1 is generated before the reach state occurs and the relay effect is generated after the reach state occurs. Is different. This relay effect is a content that relays the dog pattern 111 and the girl's pattern 117, and ends with the ending that the dog's pattern 111 finishes earlier than the girl's pattern 117. After the end of the relay effect, the display returns to the display state at the end of the self-retail effect 1, and the same “30,000” self-contained pattern 114 is displayed. Then, the middle row of the decorative symbols is stopped and displayed according to the setting result of the effect control circuit 70, and the three rows of the decorative symbols become a jackpot combination.

  Video data V8-1 to V8-2 in FIG. 23 are selected when the main control circuit 50 sets a variation pattern P8 for detachment. These video data V8-1 to V8-2 are of the same system in which a self-discard effect 1 is generated before the reach state occurs and a relay effect is generated after the reach state occurs. Is different. In these video data V8-1 to V8-2, the relay effect ends with the ending that the girl's pattern 117 finishes faster than the dog's pattern 111. After the end of the relay effect, the display state at the end of the self-retail effect 1 is restored, and “70,000” self-contained patterns 114 different from the winning effect are displayed. Then, the middle row of the decorative symbols is stopped and displayed according to the setting result of the effect control circuit 70, and the three rows of the decorative symbols become a combination of detachment and reach.

  Video data V9-1 and V9-2 in FIG. 23 are selected when the main control circuit 50 sets a variation pattern P9 for detachment. These video data V9-1 to V9-2 are used to stop and display decorative symbols in the order of left column → right column → middle column, and are different from each other in the presence or absence of a big hit notice.

According to the said Example 1, there exists the following effect.
After covering the bamboo lantern pattern 116 with the soil smoke pattern 120, the “three-cylinder” mahjong tile pattern 122, the “2 bamboo” mahjong tile pattern 122, and the “30,000” mahjong tile pattern are covered. The information about the type of mahjong tile is transmitted to the player in order by causing 122 to appear in order, and the dog pattern 111, the girl pattern 117, the housewife pattern 118, and the housewife pattern 119 are covered with the earth smoke pattern 120. The information about the type of the directing pattern was transmitted to the player in order by participating in the “Thirty thousand” mahjong tile pattern 122, which was the only pattern 111 and the girls' pattern 117. This makes it easier for the player to understand that the dog pattern 111 and the girl pattern 117 are competing for the intended “30,000” mahjong tile pattern 122. It is possible to enhance the taste without disturbing the original function of the reach action to convey.

  In the first embodiment, the mahjong tile pattern is used as the identification pattern in the bargain effect, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a number pattern similar to the decorative pattern may be used. Hereinafter, Example 2 which uses a number pattern for bargain production will be described with reference to FIGS.

  When the bargain effect occurs, as shown in FIG. 31 (a), a plurality of numerical patterns 131 of "1" to "8" are displayed in a mountain shape as the collective state identification pattern. Then, a dog pattern 111, a girl pattern 117, a housewife pattern 118, and a housewife pattern 119 are displayed so as to surround a mountain of the number pattern 131. As shown in FIG. An image is displayed in which the housewife's pattern 119 moves so as to jump toward the mountain of the number pattern 131 all at once. These number patterns 131 are attached with identification information consisting of the same type of Chinese numerals as the decorative patterns. In the symbol display area 113, the “7 ”And a number pattern 131 other than“ 7 ”, which is a combination of the numbers.

  After the image of the dog pattern 111 to the housewife pattern 119 jumping toward the mountain of the number pattern 131 is displayed, the mountain of the dog pattern 111 to the number pattern 131 is erased, as shown in FIG. As a result of the display of the soil smoke pattern 120, an effect is produced in which the mountains of the dog pattern 111 to the number pattern 131 are hidden by the soil smoke pattern 120. Then, as shown in (d) to (i) of FIG. 31, a “one” number pattern 131, a “three” number pattern 131, and a “seven” number pattern 131 appear in order from the earth and smoke pattern 120, The soil smoke pattern 120 is erased.

  When the pattern 120 of the soil smoke is erased, as shown in FIG. 31 (j), the dog pattern 111 grabs the “seven” number pattern 131 from the left, and the girl pattern 117 is the “seven” number pattern.
