Description

  The present invention includes a variable display device having a display unit capable of displaying a variable display game that displays a plurality of identification information in a variable manner based on the winning of a game ball at a start winning opening, and the result of the variable display game is a special result. In some cases, the present invention relates to a gaming machine that generates a special gaming state advantageous to a player.

Among conventional gaming machines, there is a gaming machine that performs a continuous effect over a plurality of variable display games based on a determination result of a random number value stored in memory. This is because, for example, even if there is a big hit, even if it is only out of place, it is possible to give a player's expectation or notify the result by performing continuous notice notification (for example, Patent Document 1). In addition, at present, the random number value is determined at the time when it is stored as the start memory, and it is determined again at the start of the fluctuation. This is because when determining the variation pattern, it is necessary to consider the variation time depending on the number of starting memories at that time. For example, when the number of starting memories is large at the time of storing, the variation with respect to the starting memory is determined. Although the pattern is short, when the determination is made again at the start of variation, if the number of starting memories at that time is small, the variation pattern is changed to a long one. In other words, the variation time adapted to the storage state at the time of the start of variation is set from the preset variation time.

  When the continuous notice as described in Patent Document 1 is applied to the current configuration, even if it is determined that the continuous notice is to be executed in advance, it is highly conceivable that the variation pattern changes due to re-determination at the actual variation start time. . For example, the duration of each variable display game varies during continuous notice, making it impossible to perform effective continuous notice (production etc.) in each variable display game. Depending on the length of the variable time, There is a problem that sufficient time for performing the performance cannot be secured, and the player's interest is interrupted on the way, or the meaning of performing the continuous notice is lost. However, if the start memory number is not taken into account when determining the change pattern, an extremely short change pattern is selected even though the start memory number is small, or a useless long change pattern is selected even though the start memory number is the upper limit. Therefore, it becomes impossible to select a variation pattern along with the progress of the game.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a variable display device having a display unit capable of displaying a variable display game that displays a plurality of identification information in a variable manner based on winning of a game ball at a start winning opening, and the result of the variable display game is a special result.

Invention of Claim 4 is a gaming machine of Claim 3, Comprising: The operation state of the said 2nd start winning opening is awarded to the said 2nd starting winning opening rather than another operation state A second start winning award facilitating means for making the second start winning award facilitating state that is an easy operation state,
The continuous production control means includes
When the second start winning opening is in an operation state other than the second start winning facilitated state, the execution of the continuous performance based on the fact that the second start memory accompanies the establishment of the predetermined condition is restricted. It is characterized by comprising continuous production regulating means.

  According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, when the second start winning opening is in an operating state other than the second start winning facilitated state, the continuous performance control means determines that the second start memory satisfies a predetermined condition. Since the continuous production control means for regulating the execution of the continuous production based on the accompanying is provided, the player's expectation can be maintained over a plurality of variable display games, and the interest of the game can be improved. That is, the variable display game based on the second start memory is executed preferentially over the variable display game based on the first start memory, and the second start memory is continuously based on the fact that the predetermined condition is satisfied. In order to execute a typical effect, a plurality of second start memories need to be continuously generated. However, when the operation state is other than the second start winning simplification state, a plurality of second start memories are rarely generated continuously, so a continuous effect is performed over a plurality of variable display games. It is difficult to do and cannot produce an effective performance. For this reason, when the second start winning opening is in an operation state other than the second start winning facilitated state, the execution of the continuous production based on the fact that the second start memory accompanies the establishment of the predetermined condition is restricted. Thus, the first start memory can perform only a continuous production based on the establishment of a predetermined condition, and the player's expectation can be maintained over a plurality of variable display games, thereby improving the interest of the game. become able to.

A fifth aspect of the present invention is the gaming machine according to any one of the first to fourth aspects, wherein the continuous performance control means includes:
The reach state is executed as the continuous production.

  Here, the “reach state” has a display device whose display state can be changed, the display device derives and displays a plurality of display results at different times, and the plurality of display results are predetermined. In a gaming machine in which the gaming state becomes a gaming state advantageous to the player (special gaming state) when a specific display mode combination (special result) is obtained, a part of the plurality of display results is still derived and displayed. This means a display state in which the display result that has already been derived and displayed satisfies the condition for the combination of the specific display modes at a stage that is not. In other words, the reach state refers to the display condition that becomes the specific display mode even when the display device has reached the stage before the display result is derived and displayed by the variable display control of the display device. A display mode that is not deviated. The reach state is a display state at the time when the display control of the display device has progressed to reach a stage before the display result is derived and displayed, and is determined before the display result is derived and displayed. The display state in the case where at least a part of the display results of the plurality of variable display areas satisfies the condition for the specific display mode. Note that, for example, a state in which a variable display is performed using a plurality of variable display regions (so-called full rotation reach) while maintaining a state where the combinations of the specific display modes are aligned may be included in the reach state. Note that the state in which the reach state has occurred is a state in which there is a high possibility that a special result will be derived as compared to the case in which the reach state does not occur.

  According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, since the continuous performance control means executes the reach state as a continuous performance, the player's expectation can be maintained over a plurality of variable display games, and the interest of the game can be enhanced. Can be improved.

According to the present invention, continuous performance control means, the number of all the starting memories, stored in the start-up storage unit when the determination start memory stored before remote start Symbol 憶 with the establishment of a predetermined condition since the execution time of the variable display game is to run a continuous production when the second fluctuation pattern that has been set to the same is by Ri selection to change the pattern selection means regardless of the, along with the progress of the game Even if the variation pattern can be selected, the player's expectation can be maintained and the interest of the game can be improved. In other words, it is possible to secure sufficient time for performing the effects in each of the variable display games that execute the continuous effects, so that an effective effect can be achieved, and the player's expectation can be maintained over a plurality of variable display games. Improve the fun of gaming.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Here, a pachinko gaming machine as a suitable example of the gaming machine according to the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 shows a game board 1 surrounded by a guide rail 2 and having a game area 1a on the front side where a game ball is launched to play a game. A machine frame that is an outer frame of the gaming machine and is fixed to the island facility, a clear member holding frame that covers the front surface of the game area 1a, a front frame to which the game board 1 is attached, and a game that is provided below the game area 1a. An illustration of an operation panel having an upper plate and a lower plate for containing a ball and having an operation handle for a player to perform a launch operation is omitted.

  The game board 1 includes a flat game board body 1b (made of wood or synthetic resin) serving as a mounting base for various members, and has a game area 1a surrounded by guide rails 2 on the front surface of the game board body 1b. ing. Further, front structural members 3, 3,... Are attached to the front surface of the game board main body 1b and outside the guide rail 2. Then, a game ball (hit ball; game medium) is launched from a launching device into a game area 1a surrounded by the guide rail 2 to play a game.

  A center case 20 is attached to the approximate center of the game area 1a. Behind the window portion 22 formed in the center case 20 is a variable display that can execute a decorative special figure fluctuation display game that displays a plurality of identification information in a variable manner corresponding to the special figure fluctuation display game that forms the fluctuation display game. A display device 43 as a device is arranged. The display device 43 includes, for example, a liquid crystal display, and is arranged so that a display portion 43 a whose display contents can be changed is visible from the front side of the game board 1 through the window portion 22 of the center case 20. . The display device 43 is not limited to the one provided with the liquid crystal display, and may be provided with a display such as an EL or CRT.

  Also, in the game area 1a, a normal map start gate 4, a normal map memory display 15 for displaying the number of unprocessed times of a normal map variable display game that is a normal variable display game, and a normal map variable display as a normal variable display device. A general-purpose display 5 for displaying a game is provided. Further, in the game area 1a, a first start winning opening 13 forming a first start winning area, an ordinary variable winning apparatus 7 (second start winning opening) forming a second starting winning area, and an auxiliary game A special figure memory display 18 for lighting and displaying the number of unprocessed times of the special figure fluctuation display game is provided, and a special figure display 9 as a fluctuation display device for displaying the special figure fluctuation display game is provided. The common figure memory display 15, the common figure display 5, the special figure storage display, and the special figure display 9 are integrally provided as a gaming state display LED 8 (illustrated in FIG. 2) representing a gaming state. In addition, you may provide the round number indicator (LED) which displays the round number (2R, 15R) at the time of becoming a special game state.

  Further, the game area 1a has an attacker-type opening / closing door 10a that can be opened by rotating in a direction in which the upper end side is tilted toward the front side. A special variable winning device 10 for converting from a closed state (a disadvantageous state for the player) to an open state (a state advantageous to the player), and an out hole 11 for collecting the gaming balls that have not won the winning opening. Is provided. In addition, the game area 1a is provided with general winning holes 12, 12,.

  A gate SW4a (shown in FIG. 2) for detecting a game ball that has passed through the general start gate 4 is provided in the general start gate 4. Then, when the game ball that has been driven into the game area 1a passes through the normal diagram start gate 4, a normal variation display game is performed. In addition, the normal variation display game cannot be started, for example, the normal variation display game has already been played and the normal variation display game has not been completed, When 7 is converted to the open state and the game ball passes through the general figure start gate 4, if the number is less than the upper limit of the general figure start memory number, the normal figure start memory number is incremented by one and the normal figure start is started. One memory is stored. Note that the start memory of the general map variable display game is displayed on the general map memory display 15 provided with LEDs.

  The normal map display game is executed by the general map display 5 provided in the game area 1a. The common map indicator 5 is composed of an LED indicating a hit as normal identification information (general map, normal symbol) and an LED indicating a deviation as the normal identification information, and alternately blinking and displaying the two LEDs. Ordinary identification information is displayed in a variable manner, and after a predetermined fluctuation display time has elapsed, one of the LEDs is turned on to display the result. In addition, you may make it display a common figure change display game in a part of display area of the display apparatus 43, and in this case, as a normal identification information, for example, a number, a symbol, a character design etc. are used, and this is used for predetermined time. After the variable display, the stop display is performed. If the stop display of the usual figure change display game becomes a special result mode (specific result), it becomes a hit of the usual figure, and the opening / closing members 7a, 7a of the normal change winning device 7 are set for a predetermined time (for example, 0.3). For 2 seconds). Thereby, it becomes easy to win a game ball in the normal variation winning device 7, and it is easy to start the second special figure variation display game.

  The normal variation winning device 7 includes a pair of left and right opening / closing members 7a, 7a, and is disposed below the first start winning opening 13, and the opening / closing members 7a, 7a are normally spaced at an interval of about the diameter of a game ball. The closed state (a disadvantageous state for the player, the first state) is maintained. However, since the first start winning opening 13 is provided above, the game ball cannot be won in the closed state. Then, when the result of the normal fluctuation display game becomes a predetermined stop display mode, it is opened in a reverse “C” shape by a solenoid (general power open / close SOL7b, shown in FIG. 2) as a driving device. The game can be changed to an open state (a state advantageous to the player, a second state) in which the game ball easily flows into the normal variation winning device 7.

  The normal variation winning device 7 and the first start winning opening 13 also serve as a starting winning opening for the special figure changing display game. That is, the special figure variation as the auxiliary game is based on detecting the game ball by the normal variation winning device 7 and the start opening SW7d (shown in FIG. 2) provided in the first start winning opening 13 (winning area). A start right to start the display game is generated.

  The right to start the special figure variation display game is stored as a start memory (special figure start memory) within a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4). Accordingly, when a game ball wins in the normal variable winning device 7 or the first start winning port 13 in a state where the special figure changing display game can be started and the start memory number is 0, the start right is generated. When the start memory is stored and the start memory number is incremented by 1, the special figure variation display game is immediately started based on the start memory, and at this time, the start memory number is decremented by 1.

  On the other hand, it is normal when the special figure fluctuation display game cannot be started immediately, for example, when the special figure fluctuation display game has already been performed and the special figure fluctuation display game has not been completed or is in the special game state. When a game ball is won in the variable winning device 7 or the first start winning port 13, if the start memory number is less than the upper limit number, the start memory number is incremented by 1 and one start memory is stored. Then, when the number of starting memories becomes 1 or more, when the state where the special figure variation display game can be started (the end of the previous special figure variation display game or the end of the special game state) is reached, the number of starting memories is decremented by 1. At the same time, the special figure variation display game is started based on the stored start memory. The start memory of the special figure variation display game is displayed on the special figure memory display 18 having LEDs.

  A special figure (special symbol, identification information) variable display game as an auxiliary game is executed by a special figure display 9 provided in the game area 1a, and after a plurality of identification information is displayed in a variable manner. This is performed by stopping and displaying a predetermined result mode. In addition, a decoration special figure variation display game corresponding to a special figure variation display game in which a plurality of types of identification information (for example, numbers, symbols, character designs, etc.) are variably displayed on the display device 43 is executed. . As a result of the special figure variation display game, when the display mode of the special figure display 9 becomes a special result mode (for example, “3”), it becomes a big hit and a special gaming state (so-called big hit state). It becomes. Correspondingly, the display mode of the display device 43 is also a special result mode (for example, any one of the numbers in the flat order such as “3, 3, 3”). Note that the special-figure display game may be executed only by the display device 43 without providing the special-figure display 9 in the gaming machine 100.

  Further, the special variable winning device 10 as a variable winning device includes a large winning opening that is opened and closed by an attacker-type opening / closing door 10a that can be opened by rotating in a direction in which the upper end side is tilted toward the front side. During the special gaming state, the game winning ball opening is converted from the closed state to the opened state, thereby facilitating the inflow of gaming balls into the winning game opening and giving a predetermined game value (prize ball) to the player. It is like that. The opening / closing door 10a is driven by, for example, a solenoid (a special winning opening SOL10b, shown in FIG. 2) as a driving device. In addition, a count SW 10c (shown in FIG. 2) as a detecting means for detecting a game ball that has entered the big prize opening is disposed inside the big prize opening (winning area).

  In addition, in each general winning opening 12 provided in the game area 1a, a winning opening SW 12a (shown in FIG. 2) for detecting a game ball that has entered the general winning opening 12 is disposed. The game balls that are driven into the game area 1a by starting the game are awarded to the general prize opening 12, 12,..., The normal variable prize winning device 7, the first start prize winning port 13, the special variable prize winning device 10, etc. When a prize is awarded to any of the mouths, a predetermined number of prize balls corresponding to the respective prize mouths are discharged (paid out) by the discharging device 51 (shown in FIG. 2).

In these control devices, the following game control is performed.
The game control device 30 mainly performs main processing shown in FIG. 3 and timer interrupt processing shown in FIG. 4 performed every predetermined time (for example, every 2 msec) as processing related to the game.

  In the main process, the entire program is controlled. As shown in FIG. 3, in the main process, the process at the start of the program is first performed. As processing at the start of the program, first, initialization processing at power-on (step S1) is performed, and then power failure recovery processing (step S2) is performed.

  Next, loop processing is performed as main loop processing. In this loop process, first, a process for starting an interrupt timer (step S3) is performed to start a CTC (counter timer circuit). Next, processing for prohibiting interruption (step S4) is performed. Thereafter, an initial value random number update process (step S5) is performed to update the initial value of random numbers such as jackpot determination random numbers and jackpot symbol random numbers to break the temporal regularity of random numbers, and an interrupt is permitted (steps) S6) is performed.

  Then, the power failure inspection area of the RAM 31c is checked to determine whether or not a power failure has occurred (step S7). Note that, in the power failure inspection area, check data is set when the power of the gaming machine is cut off due to a power failure, and the check data is not normally stored. Therefore, it can be determined whether or not a power failure has occurred by determining the presence or absence of the check data.

  In the determination of whether or not a power failure has occurred (step S7), if a power failure has not occurred (step S7; No), the process returns to the above-described processing for prohibiting interruption (step S4), and thereafter the power supply is shut off. If not, the determination (step S7) of whether or not a power failure has occurred is repeated from the process for prohibiting interruption (step S4).

  On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not a power failure has occurred (step S7), if a power failure has occurred (step S7; Yes), a power failure process (step S8) is performed. Immediately after the occurrence of a power failure, the backup power supply supplies power that can execute the processing when the power failure occurs.

  In the power failure process (step S8), first, a process for prohibiting interruption is performed. And the process which turns off all the output ports is performed, and the process which clears a power failure inspection area | region is performed. Further, after performing the process of saving the power failure recovery inspection area check data in the power failure recovery inspection area, performing the process of calculating the checksum when the power of the RAM 31c is turned off, and performing the process of prohibiting access to the RAM 31c, the gaming machine Wait for the power to turn off. Thus, by saving the power failure recovery inspection area check data in the power failure recovery inspection area and calculating the checksum at the time of power interruption, the information stored in the RAM 31c before the power interruption is correctly backed up. Can be determined at power-on.

  Next, timer interrupt processing will be described. As shown in FIG. 4, in this timer interrupt process, first, a process of saving the register data (step S10) is performed. Next, processing of input from various sensors (starting port SW7d, gate SW4a, winning port SW12a, 12a,..., Count SW10c, glass frame opening SW146, inner frame opening SW121, etc.) and output data set in various processing On the basis of the above, an input / output process (step S11) for performing an output process for controlling the driving of an actuator such as a solenoid (large winning opening SOL10b, open / close SOL7b) is performed.

  Next, a command transmission process (step S12) is performed for outputting the command set in the transmission buffer in various processes to the effect control device 40 and the like. And a jackpot determination random number for determining the hit of the special figure variation display game, a jackpot symbol random number for determining the jackpot symbol of the special figure variation display game, Random number update processing 1 (step S13) for updating the winning random number is performed. Next, an initial value random number update process (step S14) for updating the initial value of the random number and breaking the temporal regularity of the random number is performed.

  Next, random number update processing 2 (step S15) is performed for updating a variation pattern random number for determining a variation pattern in the decorative special diagram variation display game related to the special diagram variation display game. Next, a winning port for monitoring whether or not a signal is input from the start port SW7d, the gate SW4a, the winning ports SW12a, 12a,..., And the count SW 10c (whether or not a signal indicating detection of a game ball is input). A switch monitoring process (step S16) is performed. Then, an error monitoring process (step S17) for monitoring each signal and an error is performed, a special figure game process (step S18) for performing a process related to the special figure variation display game, and a general game for performing a process regarding the common figure variation display game. Processing (step S19) is performed.

  Next, a segment LED editing process (step S20) that is provided in the gaming machine 100 and performs a process related to the segment LED that displays various information related to the game is performed. Then, an external information editing process (step S21) is performed in which a signal to be output to the external management apparatus is set in the output buffer. Next, an interrupt end declaration process (step S22) is performed, a process for restoring the saved register data (step S23) is performed, an interrupt permission process (step S24) is performed, and a timer interrupt process is performed. finish.

  And in the game control apparatus 30, mainly in the usual game process (step S19) among the above processes, based on the input of the detection signal of the game ball from the gate SW4a provided in the usual figure start gate 4, A random number value for determining the hit of the normal figure is extracted and compared with the determination value stored in the ROM 31b, and a process for determining whether or not the hit of the normal figure changing display game is determined. Then, after the normal identification information is variably displayed on the normal display 5 for a predetermined time, a process for displaying a general variability display game to be stopped is performed. When the result of the normal map fluctuation display game is a win, a special result mode (specific result) is displayed on the general map display 5 and the electric power open / close SOL 7b is operated so that the open / close member 7a of the normal variable winning device 7 is operated. , 7a is controlled as described above for a predetermined time (for example, 0.3 seconds). In addition, when the result of the normal map change display game is out of order, control is performed to display the result form of the shift on the general map display 5.

  The operation state of the normal variation winning device 7 includes two operation states, a normal operation state (first operation state) and a short-time operation state (second operation state). It is supposed to be set. That is, the game control device 30 serves as an operation state setting means for setting the operation state of the normal variation winning device 7. In the normal operation state, the variation display time of the usual variation display game is a first variation display time (for example, 30 seconds). Further, the release mode when the normal variation winning game 7 is released as a result of the normal variation display game being won is the first release time (for example, 0.3 seconds), and the general variation display game is The number of times of opening for one hit result is the first number of times of opening (for example, once). The short-time operation state is a state in which the operation state of the normal variation winning device 7 is more likely to be an open state than the normal operation state. At this time, in the short operation state, the execution time of the above-described normal variation display game is controlled to be a second variation display time shorter than the first variation display time which is a long execution time in the normal operation state (for example, , 0.5 seconds), thereby controlling the number of times of opening of the normally variable winning device 7 per unit time to be substantially increased. Further, in the short-time operation state, when the normal variation winning game 7 is released as a result of winning the normal variation display game, the release time is the second release time (for example, 1 second). The number of times of opening for one hit result of the variable display game is the second number of times of opening (for example, 3 times). In the short-time operation state, control may be performed such that the probability that the hit result of the normal-variation display game is higher than that in the normal operation state. That is, the short-time operation state is a state in which the number of times of opening of the normally variable winning device 7 is increased and the opening time in one opening is extended, and as a result, the opening time per unit time is extended. . This makes it easier for a game ball to win the normal variation winning device 7, and the second special figure variation display game can be easily started. That is, the game control device 30 is an operation state in which the operation state of the second start winning opening (ordinary variation winning apparatus 7) is an operation state in which it is easier for the game ball to win the second start winning opening than the other operation states. A second start winning facilitating means for making the second start winning facilitating state is provided.

  Further, in the game control device 30, as will be described in detail later, in the special game processing (step S18), the detection signal of the game ball from the first start winning port 13 and the starting port SW7d provided in the normal variation winning device 7 Based on the input, a random number value for jackpot determination of the special figure variation display game is extracted and stored in the RAM 31c as a start-up memory up to a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4).

  Further, at the start of the special figure fluctuation display game based on the start memory, the big hit judgment random number value stored in the start memory is compared with the big hit judgment value (specific value) for the special figure fluctuation display game stored in the ROM 31b. Then, a process of determining a miss of the special figure variation display game is performed. Further, after this processing, 1 is subtracted from the starting memory number. Also, a process for determining a fluctuation pattern based on the fluctuation pattern random number is performed. Further, when the jackpot determination random number value matches the jackpot determination value, processing for selecting a special result mode based on the jackpot symbol random number is performed.

  Here, there are two probability states, a normal probability state (first probability state) and a probability variation state (second probability state), in the probability state, which is a state of probability that a special result mode is derived in the special figure variation display game. In the game control device 30, any one probability state is set. The probability variation state is a state in which the probability of a jackpot result in the special figure variation display game is higher than the normal probability state. In the normal probability state, a predetermined number of first determination values are set as specific values, and this specific value (first determination value) is compared with a big hit determination random number value. Yes. Further, in the probability variation state, the first determination value and the second determination value different from the first determination value are set as the specific values, and this specific value (first determination value, second determination value) and the jackpot determination random number value Are compared, and if they match, it is determined that the game is a big hit. That is, the game control device 30 serves as a probability variation control means capable of controlling the probability that the result of the special figure variation display game will be in the special result mode in either the normal probability state or the probability variation state.

  If a special result is derived in the special figure variation display game, and if a predetermined condition is satisfied (if it is a specific special result mode (probability variation pattern)), the probability state is changed to a probable state after the special game state is finished. And so on. If a special result is derived in the special figure variation display game in the probability state, the normal probability state is temporarily set regardless of whether or not the special result mode is associated with establishment of a predetermined condition. . And when it is a special result aspect accompanied by establishment of predetermined conditions, it will be in a probability change state again after completion | finish of a special game state. In the case of a special result mode (normal symbol) that is not accompanied by the establishment of a predetermined condition, the normal probability state is maintained as it is even after the special game state is ended.

  In addition, as described above, the operation state of the normal variation winning device 7 includes a normal operation state and a short-time operation state, and the probability state in the special figure variation display game includes a normal probability state and a probability variation state. These combinations constitute three game states, a normal game state, a probability variation state, and a short-time game state, and the game control device 30 sets any one game state based on a predetermined condition. The normal game state is a game state in which the operation state of the normal variation winning device 7 is the normal operation state, and the probability state of the special figure variable display game is the normal probability state. The probability variation state is a gaming state in which the operation state of the normal variation winning device 7 is a short-time operation state, and the probability state of the special figure variation display game is a probability variation state. The short-time game state is a game state in which the operation state of the normal variation winning device 7 is the short-time operation state, and the probability state of the special figure variable display game is the normal probability state. In addition, when the normal variation winning device 7 is in the short-time operation state, it is configured to be able to execute a time-reduced special figure fluctuation display game in which the execution time of one special figure fluctuation display game is shortened as a special figure fluctuation display game. ing.

  In addition, the game control device 30 determines a jackpot determination random number value, a jackpot symbol random number, a variation pattern random number, or the like stored in the start memory at a predetermined timing (any timing such as a start winning prize). Then, a pre-reading process is performed to determine whether or not a special symbol variation display game has been missed, a big hit symbol (special result mode), or reach has occurred. The results of these determinations are transmitted from the game control device 30 to the effect control device 40 as result information.

  Here, the reach (reach state) includes the display device 43 whose display state can be changed, and the display device 43 derives and displays a plurality of display results at different times, and the plurality of display results are preliminarily displayed. In a gaming machine in which the gaming state becomes a gaming state advantageous to the player (special gaming state) when the specified special result mode is achieved, a part of the plurality of display results is not yet derived and displayed. The display state in which the display result that has already been derived and displayed satisfies the condition for the special result mode. In other words, the reach state is deviated from the display condition that is a special result mode even when the display control of the display device 43 progresses to reach the stage before the display result is derived and displayed. A display mode that is not. For example, a state where so-called full-rotation reach is performed in a variable display region while maintaining a state in which special result modes are aligned (so-called full rotation reach) is also included in the reach state. The reach state is a display state when the display control of the display device 43 progresses and reaches a stage before the display result is derived and displayed, and is determined before the display result is derived and displayed. The display state in the case where at least a part of the display results of the plurality of variable display areas that have been performed satisfies the conditions for the special result mode.

  Thus, for example, a decoration variation display game displayed on the display device 43 corresponding to the special figure variation display game varies a plurality of identification information for a predetermined time in each of the left, middle, and right variation display areas on the display device 43. After displaying, when the display of the result mode is stopped in the order of left, right, and middle, the condition that becomes the special result mode is satisfied in the left and right variable display areas (for example, The state in which the variable display is stopped with the same identification information) is the reach state. In addition to this, when the variable display of all the variable display areas is temporarily stopped, the condition that the special result mode is satisfied in any two of the left, middle, and right variable display areas (for example, the same The state in which the identification information is obtained (except for the special result mode) may be set as the reach state, and the remaining one variable display area may be variably displayed from the reach state. This reach state includes a plurality of reach effects, and different reach results (different reliability levels) can be obtained as normal reach, special reach 1 (SP1 reach), special reach 2 ( SP2 reach) is set. The reliability increases in the order of no reach <normal reach <special reach 1 (SP1 reach) <special reach 2 (SP2 reach). In addition, this reach state is included in a variable display mode at least in a case where a special result mode is derived in a special figure variable display game (when a big hit is achieved). That is, it may be included in the variable display mode in the case where the special result mode is not derived in the special figure variable display game (when it is out of place). Therefore, the state in which the reach state has occurred is a state that is more likely to be a big hit than the case in which the reach state does not occur.

  Then, in the game control device 30, based on the determination result of the start memory as described above, the special figure display device 9 displays a special figure fluctuation display game that displays the special identification information fluctuating for a predetermined time and then stops and displays it. I do. That is, the game control device 30 serves as a variation display control means capable of controlling the execution of the special figure variation display game based on the start-up memory.

  Further, in the game control device 30, when the result of the special figure variation display game is a big hit, a special result mode is displayed on the special figure display and a process for generating a special game state is performed. The special result mode displayed on the special figure display is determined based on the big hit symbol random number extracted and stored simultaneously with the big hit judgment random number value. When the result of the special figure variation display game is out of order, the special figure display unit 9 is controlled to display the result form of the deviation.

  Further, in the game control device 30, as a process for generating the special game state, for example, the open / close door 10a of the special variable prize winning device 10 is opened by the big prize opening SOL10b, thereby allowing the game ball to flow into the big prize opening. Take control. Then, a condition that either a predetermined number (for example, nine) of game balls wins the grand prize opening or a predetermined time (for example, 25 seconds or 0.3 seconds) elapses from the opening of the big prize opening is achieved. Opening the grand prize opening until one is made is defined as one round, and control (cycle game) is performed to continue (repeat) this for a predetermined number of rounds (for example, 15 times or 2 times). Thereby, the gaming machine 100 functions as a gaming machine that generates a special gaming state that can give a predetermined gaming value to the player based on the result mode of the special figure variation display game.

  In addition, the game control device 30 controls the discharge / emission control device 50 based on the detection signals of the game balls input from the sensors (starting port SW7d, winning port SW12a, count SW10c) provided at various winning ports. Processing is performed so that a predetermined number of game balls are paid out from the device 51.

  In addition, in the effect control device 40, based on a command signal from the game control device 30 (change time command, change stop command, etc.), the display device 43 displays a decoration special figure change display game corresponding to the special figure change display game. Controls processing and effects.

  Here, in the special result mode, a plurality of types having different execution value of the special game state and the additional game value given to the player after the end of the special game state are set. The special result mode is selected on the basis of this. That is, it can be said that the amount of additional game value is determined based on the jackpot symbol random number. In addition, the execution mode of the special game state in the gaming machine of the present embodiment is the number of rounds that can be executed and the opening time of the special winning opening. Further, the additional game value means that the game state is changed to a probability fluctuation state until the next special result mode is derived after the special game state ends, or a special figure change display game is executed a predetermined number of times after the special game state ends. The game state is changed to the short-time game state.

  There are 15 special rounds in the special gaming state, and the game state is set to the short-time gaming state until 100 special figure variation display games are executed after the special gaming state is completed. The number of rounds in the gaming state is 15 rounds, and after the special gaming state is finished, the special game is played with 15R probability change in which the gaming state is the probability variation state until the next special result mode is derived, and the number of rounds in the special gaming state is 2 rounds. Three types of 2R probability change in which the gaming state is a probability fluctuation state until the next special result mode is derived after the state ends are set. That is, the 15R probability variation and the 2R probability variation are special result modes that are accompanied by the establishment of a predetermined condition, and the probability variation state (specific game) that facilitates the generation of the next special game state after the special game state based on the special result mode ends. Status).

  In the special game state (first special game state) based on 15R normal, 15R probability change, the opening time of the big winning opening in each round is the first release time (25 seconds), and the special game state based on 2R probability change In the (second special game state), the opening time of the special winning opening is the second opening time (0.3 seconds) shorter than the first opening time. Here, in the special game state based on 2R probability change, the operation of opening the grand prize opening for 0.3 seconds is performed twice with a wait time of 1 second. For this reason, it is very difficult for a game ball to win a big prize opening, but there is a possibility that it will slightly win a big prize opening, and a predetermined game value can be given to the player. In addition, although it is difficult to win a game ball in this way, it is monitored whether a predetermined number (for example, 9) of game balls wins a large winning opening as in the case of a special game state based on other special result modes. Is also done. That is, the first special gaming state in which the 15R normal and 15R probability changes are executed for a predetermined period, and the second special gaming state in which the 2R probability change is set to be shorter than the first special gaming state. Is to execute. That is, the game control device 30 extracts a random number (big hit symbol random number) based on the winning of the game ball to the start winning opening (first start winning 13, normal variation winning device 7), and based on the extracted random number value In addition to the special game state, an additional game value determining means is provided for determining whether or not to add an additional game value or determining an additional game value amount to be added.

  Next, details of the special game process (step S18) in the timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 4 will be described. As shown in FIG. 5, in the special game process, first, the first start winning port 13 serving as the start winning port, the winning to the normal variable winning device 7 are monitored, and various random number values are stored based on the winning. The mouth monitoring process (step S30) is performed, and the count switch monitoring process (step S31) for monitoring the input from the count SW 10c is performed.

  Then, it is determined whether or not the game process timer set in each process relating to the execution of the special figure variation display game has expired (step S32). In the determination of whether or not the game process timer has expired (step S32), when the game process timer has not expired (step S32; No), the special figure fluctuation control process relating to the control of the special figure fluctuation display game. (Step S43) is performed to end the special figure game process. Further, in the determination of whether or not the game process timer has expired (step S32), if the game process timer has expired (step S32; Yes), the game process number acquired by acquiring the game process number A game branching process (step S33) for selecting a process to be executed based on the above is performed.

  In the game branch process (step S33), when the game process number is 0, it is necessary to monitor the start of special symbol variation and perform special symbol variation start setting, production setting, or special diagram routine processing. A special figure routine process (step S34) for setting various information is performed. In the game branching process (step S33), when the game process number is 1, the special figure change start process 2 (step S35) is performed. In the special figure change start process 2 (step S35), information related to the change of the special symbol is set. For example, the start memory is decremented by 1 with the execution of the special figure change display game based on the start memory. Perform the process. Further, in the game branching process (step S33), when the game process number is 2, the timer for managing the time (fluctuation time, etc.) in the special figure fluctuation display game or the special figure display processing (step A special figure changing process (step S36) for setting information necessary for performing S37) is performed.

  In the game branching process (step S33), when the game process number is 3, a special figure display process (step S37) is performed. In the special figure display processing (step S37), a timer for managing the time (such as the stop symbol display time) in the special figure variation display game is updated. When the result of the special figure variation display game is a big hit, information necessary for performing the fanfare / interval process (step S38) is set. If the result of the special figure variation display game is out of place, information is set to shift to the special figure routine process (step S34).

  Further, in the game branching process (step S33), when the game process number is 4, fanfare / interval processing (step S38) is performed to perform processing such as updating the number of times of opening of the big winning opening in the special game state. In the game branching process (step S33), when the game process number is 5, a special winning opening opening process (step S39) is performed. In the special winning opening opening process (step S39), if the special game state is not the final round, information necessary for performing the fanfare / interval process (step S38) is set. If the special game state is the final round, the setting of the command for the end screen of the special game state and the information necessary for performing the winning prize remaining ball processing (step S40) are performed.

  In the game branching process (step S33), when the game process number is 6, the winning prize remaining ball process (step S40) is performed. In this special winning opening remaining ball processing (step S40), when the special gaming state is the final round, it takes time until all the gaming balls remaining in the large winning opening are detected by the count SW 10c after the special winning opening is closed. Set up. In the game branching process (step S33), if the game process number is 7, a big hit end process (step S41) is performed. In this jackpot ending process (step S41), a process for ending the special gaming state is performed, and information necessary for performing the special figure routine process (step S34) is set.

  After performing the above-described process based on the game process number, a table data saving process (step S42) for saving various set data, and a special figure variation control process (step S43) for performing a process such as updating the game process timer. ) To finish the special figure game process.

  As shown in FIG. 6, in the start port monitoring process, first, it is determined whether or not there is a start prize (step S50). In the determination of whether or not there is a start winning (step S50), the determination is made based on the presence or absence of a game ball detection signal output from the start port SW7d when there is a starting winning. In the determination of whether or not there is a start prize (step S50), if there is no start prize (step S50; N), the start port monitoring process is terminated. In the determination of whether or not there is a start prize (step S50), if there is a start prize (step S50; Y), a process (step S51) for acquiring the special figure start memory number is performed, and the special figure start memory is stored. It is determined whether the number is an upper limit value (for example, 4) (step S52).

  In the determination of whether or not the special figure start memory number is the upper limit value (step S52), when the special figure start memory number is the upper limit value (step S52; Y), that is, when the start memory cannot be stored any more, The start port monitoring process is terminated. Further, in the determination of whether or not the special figure start memory number is the upper limit value (step S52), if the special figure start memory number is not the upper limit value (step S52; N), the special figure start memory number is incremented by one. Processing (step S53) is performed, processing for storing the jackpot determination random number value (step S54), processing for storing the jackpot symbol random number (step S55), processing for storing the variation pattern random number 1 (step S56). In the process of storing these various random number values (steps S54 to S56), the process of storing the extracted various random number values in the save area of the various random number values set corresponding to the updated special figure starting storage number is performed. .

  After performing processing for storing various random number values, special figure hold information determination processing (step S57), which is prefetching processing for determining result related information corresponding to start-up storage, is performed. And the process (step S58) which sets the decoration special figure reservation information command displayed on the display part 43a of the display apparatus 43 is performed, the display setting of the special figure reservation number in the display part 43a is performed, and a start port monitoring process is complete | finished To do. The decoration special figure hold information command is transmitted to the effect control device 40 later as one of the hold information commands including information related to the start memory.

  As shown in FIG. 7, in the special figure hold information determination process, a prefetch process is performed in which the result related information corresponding to the start memory is determined before the start timing of the special figure variation display game based on the start memory. In this special figure hold information determination process, first, a process (step S60) of acquiring a jackpot determination random number value stored in a process of storing a jackpot determination random number (step S54) is performed to determine whether or not there is a hit value. (Step S61).

  In the determination of whether or not there is a hit value (step S61), it is determined whether or not the acquired big hit determination random number value matches the big hit determination value. In the determination of whether or not there is a winning value (step S61), if there is no winning value (step S61; N), that is, if the acquired big hit determination random number value does not coincide with the big hit determination value, the outlier information is set. The process (step S62) is performed, and the process (step S63) for acquiring the fluctuation pattern random number 1 is performed. In the loss information setting process (step S62), as a result of determining the jackpot determination random number value, a process of storing information indicating that no special result is derived in the special figure variation display game based on the start memory is performed.

  In the process of acquiring the fluctuation pattern random number 1 (step S63), the random number value stored in the process of storing the fluctuation pattern random number 1 (step S56) is acquired, and then the process of selecting the fluctuation table (step S64) is performed. . In the process of selecting the fluctuation table (step S64), a process of selecting one of the two kinds of fluctuation tables of the fluctuation table 1 and the fluctuation table 2 based on the fluctuation pattern random number is performed. This variation table is for determining a variation pattern by determining a variation pattern random number. Further, the variation table 1 and the variation table 2 are different in the setting of the execution time of the special figure variation display game according to the start memory number (holding number), and an example thereof is shown in FIG. FIG. 8 shows the execution time in the special figure display game in which the reach state does not occur and the result is out of place.

  In the fluctuation table 1, the execution time is set to be different depending on the number of start memories at the time of determination. That is, when the variation table 1 is selected, the first variation pattern set so that the execution time of the special figure variation display game is different depending on the number of start memories stored in the start storage means at the time of determination is selected. The Rukoto. On the other hand, the variation table 2 is set to have the same execution time (for example, 8 seconds) regardless of the number of starting memories at the time of determination. That is, when the variation table 2 is selected, the second variation pattern in which the execution time of the special figure variation display game is set to be the same regardless of the number of start memories stored in the start storage means at the time of determination is selected. Will be. In the process of selecting the fluctuation table (step S64), the fluctuation table is selected based on the fluctuation pattern random number. However, a random value for selecting the fluctuation table may be set separately.

  After performing the process of selecting the fluctuation table (step S64), it is determined whether or not a specific reach occurs (step S65). In the determination of whether or not a specific reach occurs (step S65), as a result of the determination of the fluctuation pattern random number 1, it is determined whether or not a fluctuation pattern including a specific reach is selected as the fluctuation pattern. Here, the specific reach is, for example, SP reach 1 and SP reach 2. Note that it is arbitrary which reach is a specific reach, but it is desirable that a highly reliable reach be a specific reach. In this determination, if the value of the fluctuation pattern random number 1 is a value that does not generate a specific reach regardless of the number of starting memories at the time of determination, it is determined that a specific reach does not occur (step S65; N). . In the determination of whether or not this specific reach occurs (step S65), when the specific reach occurs (step S65; Y), the process of setting the specific reach deviation pattern information (step S66) is performed, The special figure hold information determination process is terminated. Further, in the determination of whether or not a specific reach occurs (step S65), when the specific reach does not occur (step S65; N), a process of setting the deviation variation pattern information without specific reach (step S67) is performed. Then, the special figure hold information determination process is terminated.

  In the determination of whether or not there is a winning value (step S61), when there is a winning value (step S61; Y), that is, when the acquired random number for determining the big hit matches the big hit determination value, the big hit information A setting process (step S68) is performed, and a process of acquiring the fluctuation pattern random number 1 (step S69) is performed. In the jackpot information setting process (step S68), a process for storing information indicating that a special result is derived in the special figure variation display game based on the start memory as a result of the determination of the random number for jackpot determination is performed.

  Thereafter, a process of acquiring the fluctuation pattern random number 1 (step S69), a process of selecting a fluctuation table (step S70), and a process of setting jackpot fluctuation pattern information (step S71) are performed, and the special figure hold information determination process is terminated. . The process of acquiring the fluctuation pattern random number 1 (step S69), the process of selecting the fluctuation table (step S70), the process of acquiring the fluctuation pattern random number 1 (step S63), and the process of selecting the fluctuation table (step S70). This is the same processing as S64). The specific reach deviation variation pattern information, the non-specific reach deviation variation pattern information, and the jackpot variation pattern information are later transmitted to the effect control device 40 as one of the hold information commands including information related to the start memory. . In the case of a big hit, it is determined whether or not a specific reach occurs as in the case of a loss, and if it occurs, the specific reach big hit fluctuation pattern information is set, and if not, the big hit fluctuation without a specific reach is set. Pattern information may be set.

  In the special figure routine process performed when the process number is 0 in the game branching process (step S33), in order to monitor the change start of the special symbol and set the special symbol change start or to perform the special figure routine process Necessary information is set. As shown in FIG. 9, in this special figure routine processing, it is first determined whether or not there is a start memory (step S80). In the determination of whether or not there is a start memory (step S80), if there is no start memory (step S80; N), it is determined whether or not a customer waiting demo flag is set (step S83).

  When it is determined whether or not the customer waiting demo flag is set (step S83), if the customer waiting demo flag is set (step S83; Y), the special figure routine processing is terminated. On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not the customer waiting demo flag is set (step S83), if the customer waiting demo flag is not set (step S83; N), a process of setting the customer waiting demo flag is performed (step S84). The customer waiting demonstration command is set (step S85), and the special figure routine processing is terminated. The customer waiting demonstration command set here is transmitted to the effect control device 40 later. Based on the reception of the customer waiting demo command, the effect control device 40 performs, for example, a process of displaying a customer waiting demo image on the display unit 43a of the display device 43.

  Further, in the determination of whether or not there is a start memory (step S80), if there is a start memory (step S80; Y), the special figure change start process 1 (step S81) for setting information related to the special figure change display game. )I do. After that, the process for storing the information of the change start (step S82) is performed, and the special figure routine process is terminated. In the process (step S82) for storing the change start information, the special figure process number is changed to 1, and the special figure change start process 2 is selected in the next game branch process (step S33) (see FIG. 5). Become so.

  In the special figure fluctuation start process 1 (step S81) performed in the special figure ordinary process shown in FIG. 9, information related to the special figure fluctuation display game is set. As shown in FIG. 10, in the special figure variation start process 1, it is first determined whether or not it is a big hit (step S90). In the determination of whether or not it is a big hit (step S90), it is determined whether or not the big hit determination random number value stored in the start memory being processed matches the big hit determination value. In the determination of whether or not it is a big hit (step S90), if it is a big hit (step S90; Yes), that is, if the random number for big hit determination matches the big hit determination value, a process of setting the big hit information ( Step S91) is performed, and a process of setting a stop symbol (Step S92) is performed. In the process of setting the big hit information (step S91), for example, the process of setting the big hit flag is performed. Further, in the determination of whether or not it is a big hit (step S90), if it is not a big hit (step S90; No), that is, if the random number for jackpot determination does not match the big hit determination value, a process of setting a stop symbol ( Step S92) is performed.

  In the process of setting the stop symbol (step S92), the process of determining the stop symbol of the special symbol variation display game is performed based on the jackpot symbol random number value stored in the start memory being processed, and the stop symbol data is set. Processing (step S92) is performed. The stop symbol data is output to the effect control device 40 later. Thereafter, a process of setting special figure information which is information set for the special figure fluctuation display game is performed (step S94), and the special figure fluctuation start process 1 is ended. That is, the game control device 30 serves as a determination unit that compares and determines the random number value stored in the start storage unit with the determination value, and determines that the special result is derived when the jackpot determination random number value matches the jackpot determination value. It is a big hit judgment means.

  As shown in FIG. 11, in the special figure change start process 2 performed when the process number is 1 in the game branch process (step S33) (see FIG. 5), information related to the special symbol change is set. It has become. In this special figure normal processing, first, processing for setting a variation pattern (step S100) is performed. In the process of setting the fluctuation pattern (step S100), the fluctuation pattern random number stored in the start memory is referred to the selected fluctuation table (fluctuation table 1 or 2) to perform a process of determining the fluctuation pattern.

  In determining the fluctuation pattern, the game result (big hit or miss) of the special figure fluctuation display game, the probability state (normal probability state or probability change state) of the special figure fluctuation display game as the current game state, and the current game state An appropriate variation pattern is selected in accordance with the operation state (normal operation state or short-time operation state) of the normal variation winning device 7 and the number of start memories. That is, in the variation tables 1 and 2, a plurality of determination tables having different determination value settings for determining variation pattern random numbers are set, and an appropriate determination table is selected according to the gaming state and the variation pattern is selected. It comes to decide. The variation pattern selected here is transmitted to the effect control device 40 as a variation pattern number, and the effect control device 40 determines a detailed variation pattern based on the variation pattern number.

  Next, a process for shifting the storage area (step S101) is performed. In the process of shifting the storage area (step S101), the process of shifting various random number save areas in the start-up storage and the process of clearing the empty area after the shift are performed. That is, with the execution of the special figure variation display game relating to the earliest start memory, a process of increasing the start memory rank that is put on hold in the subsequent ranks one by one is performed.

  Then, as a setting related to the decoration special figure change display game displayed on the display device 43, a process of setting a decoration special figure change pattern command (step S102) is performed, and a process of setting a decoration special figure command (step S103) is performed. Thereafter, a process of decrementing the special figure hold number (starting storage number) by 1 (step S104) is performed, a process of setting a decoration special figure hold number command (step S105) is performed, and the special figure change start process 2 is terminated. By the end of the special figure change start process 2, the special figure process number is changed to 2, and the special figure changing process is selected in the next game branching process. That is, the game control device 30 serves as a game execution means for executing a variable display game based on the determination result by the determination means (game control device 30). Further, the game control device 30 serves as a variation pattern selection means for selecting a variation pattern of the special figure variation display game from a plurality of variation patterns based on the random number value. The command set in the special figure variation start process 2 is transmitted to the effect control device 40 later, and the effect control device 40 performs various controls based on the received command.

  In the production control device 40, the hold information setting process shown in FIG. 12 is performed as a process related to the special figure variation display game. In the hold information setting process, first, it is determined whether or not a hold information command has been received (step S110). The hold information command is output from the game control device 30 to the effect control device 40 when the start memory is generated, and includes information related to the start memory. This hold information command includes a decoration special figure hold information command, specific reach deviation variation pattern information, no specific reach deviation variation pattern information, jackpot variation pattern information, and the like. In the determination of whether or not the hold information command has been received (step S110), if the hold information command has not been received (step S110; N), the hold information setting process ends. In the determination of whether or not a hold information command has been received (step S110), if a hold information command has been received (step S110; Y), a process of acquiring hold number information (step S111) is performed.

  In the process of acquiring the hold number information (step S111), the process of acquiring the hold number information is performed based on the decoration special figure hold number command which is one of the hold information commands. Next, the process (step S112) which acquires the determination information regarding the said suspension is performed. The determination information is information including the result of the pre-reading process for the start memory, and in the process of acquiring the determination information regarding the hold (step S112), the specific reach deviation variation pattern information, which is one of the hold information commands, Determination information is acquired based on out-of-specific fluctuation deviation pattern information and jackpot fluctuation pattern information. Thereafter, a continuous notice setting process (step S113) is performed, a process for storing determination information regarding the hold is performed, a process for storing determination information regarding the hold (step S114) is performed, and the hold information setting process is terminated. .

  Further, the production control device 40 performs a continuous notice setting process shown in FIG. 13 as a process related to the continuous notice. Here, the continuous notice is one of notice notices for notifying the existence of a start memory for executing a special figure variation display game for deriving a special result, and continuously producing over a plurality of special figure fluctuation display games. This is a continuous production. Note that it is not always necessary to notify the derivation of the special result, and it is also possible to notify that there is a possibility that the special result is derived.

  In this continuous notice setting process, first, it is determined whether or not there is a continuous notice flag (step S120). The continuous notice flag is a flag that is set when the continuous notice is being executed. If it is determined whether or not there is a continuous notice flag (step S120), and if there is a continuous notice flag (step S120; Y), the continuous notice setting process is terminated because the continuous notice is already being executed. In the determination of whether or not there is a continuous notice flag (step S120), if there is no continuous notice flag (step S120; N), it is determined whether or not a specific reach occurs (step S121).

  In the determination of whether or not a specific reach occurs (step S121), it is determined based on the determination information whether or not a specific reach occurs in the special figure variation display game based on the start memory. In addition, about the starting memory | storage from which a result becomes nonconformity, it determines by the presence or absence of specific reach misalignment variation pattern information. In addition, the start memory whose result is a big hit is determined from information included in the big hit fluctuation pattern information. In the determination of whether or not this specific reach occurs (step S121), if the specific reach does not occur (step S121; N), the continuous notice setting process is terminated. Further, in the determination of whether or not a specific reach occurs (step S121), when a specific reach occurs (step S121; Y), a process of acquiring hold information before the hold (step S122). It is determined whether or not it is an executable hold state (step S123).

  The executable hold state is a state in which the deviation variation pattern information without specific reach is set as determination information about the start memory stored before the start memory. Furthermore, the change table 2 is selected as the change table for the start store stored before the start store. That is, in the special figure variation display game based on the start memory stored before the start memory, a specific reach does not occur and the result is lost, and the execution time is the same regardless of the start memory number at the start. State.

  In the determination of whether or not it is in the executable hold state (step S123), if it is not in the executable hold state (step S123; N), the continuous notice setting process is terminated. Further, in the determination as to whether or not it is in an executable hold state (step S123), if it is in an executable hold state (step S123; Y), it is determined whether or not continuous notice is to be executed (step S124). . In this way, it is possible to maintain the player's expectation and improve the interests of the game even if the variation pattern along the progress of the game can be selected by making the execution pending hold condition a continuous notice execution condition. become. In other words, it is possible to secure sufficient time for performing the effects in each of the variable display games that execute the continuous effects, so that an effective effect can be achieved, and the player's expectation can be maintained over a plurality of variable display games. You will be able to improve the fun of gaming.

  In determining whether to execute the continuous notice (step S124), the execution of the continuous notice is determined with a predetermined probability. For example, a random value is extracted, and when the random value is a specific value, execution of continuous notice is determined. In the determination of whether or not to execute the continuous notice (step S124), when the continuous notice is not executed (step S124; N), the continuous notice setting process is terminated. Further, in the determination of whether or not to execute the continuous notice (step S124), when the continuous notice is executed (step S124; Y), the process of setting the number of start memories until the suspension is set in the continuous notice number counter (step S124). S125) is performed. Thereafter, a process of setting a continuous notice flag (step S126) is performed, and the continuous notice setting process is terminated. In other words, the game control device 30 and the effect control device 40 have continuous effect control means for executing a continuous effect in a plurality of special figure variable display games over a special figure variable display game based on a start memory accompanied by establishment of a predetermined condition. Eggplant.

  Further, the effect control device 40 performs a variable display game start process shown in FIG. 14 at the start of the special figure variable display game. In this variation display game start process, first, it is determined whether or not a variation start command has been received (step S130). The change start command includes information regarding the contents of the special figure change display game, and is transmitted from the game control device 30 to the effect control device 40 at the start of the special figure change display game. In the determination of whether or not this change start command has been received (step S130), if the change start command has not been received (step S130; N), the change display game start process is terminated. In the determination of whether or not a change start command has been received (step S130), if a change start command has been received (step S130; Y), a process of acquiring a change pattern number (step 131) is performed.

  The variation pattern number is for determining the variation pattern of the special figure variation display game, and is selected based on the variation pattern random number stored in the start memory in the game control device 30 at the start of the special figure variation display game. Is transmitted to the production control device 40. In the process of acquiring the variation pattern number (step S131), a process of acquiring the variation pattern number transmitted from the game control device 30 is performed.

  Thereafter, it is determined whether or not there is a continuous notice flag (step S132). The continuous notice flag is a flag that is set when the continuous notice is being executed. In the determination of whether or not there is a continuous notice flag (step S132), if there is a continuous notice flag (step S132; Y), a process of selecting a corresponding variation pattern from the continuous notice selection table (step S133) is performed. Do. Note that only the variation pattern corresponding to the execution time selected in the variation table 2 is set in the continuous notice selection table. In the determination of whether or not there is a continuous notice flag (step S132), if there is no continuous notice flag (step S132; N), a process of selecting the corresponding variation pattern from the normal selection table (step S134) is performed. Do. In the normal selection table, a variation pattern corresponding to the execution time selected in the variation table 1 and the variation table 2 is set.

  Thereafter, a variation pattern setting process (step S135) is performed, and the variation display game start process is terminated. In the variation pattern setting process (step S135), a variation pattern is selected from the obtained variation pattern number and the selected selection table.

  In the effect control device 40, a variable display game stop process is performed as a process related to the stop of the variable display game. As shown in FIG. 15, in the variation display game stop process, first, it is determined whether or not a variation stop command has been received (step S140). The change stop command is transmitted from the game control device 30 to the effect control device 40 at the stop timing of the special figure change display game. In the determination of whether or not the change stop command has been received (step S140), if the change stop command has not been received (step S140; N), the change display game stop process is terminated. Further, in the determination of whether or not the change stop command has been received (step S140), if the change stop command has been received (step S140; Y), the change stop setting for stopping the decoration special figure change display game is set. Processing (step S141) is performed.

  Thereafter, it is determined whether or not there is a continuous notice flag (step S142). If it is determined in step S142 that there is no continuous notice flag (step S142; N), the variable display game stop process is terminated. In the determination of whether or not there is a continuous notice flag (step S142), if there is a continuous notice flag (step S142; Y), a process of decrementing the value of the continuous notice number counter by 1 (step S143) is performed. It is determined whether or not the value of the continuous notice counter is 0 (step S144).

  In the determination of whether or not the value of the continuous notice number counter is 0 (step S144), if the value of the continuous notice number counter is not 0 (step S144; N), the variable display game stop process is terminated. Further, in the determination of whether or not the value of the continuous notice number counter is 0 (step S144), when the value of the continuous notice number counter is 0 (step S144; Y), the process of clearing the continuous notice flag (step S144). Step S145) is performed, and the variable display game stop process is terminated.

  An example in which the continuous notice is executed by the above processing is shown in FIGS. In this example, in the state where there are three start memories (start memories b to d) from which the variation table 2 is selected, a start memory (start memory e) for executing a specific reach occurs, and the continuous notice is given. It shows the case where it is decided to execute the continuous notice.

  First, there are three starting memories a to c in a state where the continuous notice is not executed, and a starting prize d is generated during the execution of the special figure variation display game a based on the starting memory a (FIG. 17A). Then, a start memory e is generated (FIG. 17B). Since the start memory e generates a specific reach, and the start memories b to d are start memories in which the fluctuation table 2 is selected and the result is out of order, a continuous notice is given when the start memory e is generated. Is determined (with a predetermined probability).

  Then, the continuous notice is started from the special figure variation display game b based on the continuous notice b (FIG. 17D). In the special figure variation display game b, a reach state is generated (FIG. 17E), and a result mode of the deviation is derived (FIG. 17F). Thereafter, in the special figure variation display game c based on the start memory c, the second continuous notice is executed (FIG. 17 (g) to (i)). Further, in the special figure variation display game d based on the start memory d, the third continuous notice is executed (FIG. 17 (j) to (l)). In the special figure variation display game based on the starting memories b to d, the variation pattern is determined so as to reach the reach state regardless of whether or not the determination result of the variation pattern random number generates the reach state. Yes. Since the variation table 2 is selected for the start memories b to d, a sufficient execution time for reaching the reach state is secured. Thereby, a player's expectation can be maintained over a plurality of variable display games, and the interest of the game can be improved. Then, in the special figure variation display game e based on the start memory e, the fourth continuous notice is executed (FIG. 17 (m) to (o)). In this special figure variation display game e, after a specific reach is executed (FIG. 17 (h)), a result mode is derived (FIG. 17 (o)), and the continuous notice is ended.

  From the above, the continuous production control means (game control device 30 and production control device 40) executes the reach state as a continuous production.

  FIG. 18 shows a modification of the decorative special figure variation display game. In this example, similarly to the examples shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, the start memory (start memory e) for executing a specific reach in the state where there are three start memories (start memories b to d) for which the variation table 2 is selected. ) Occurs and it is determined that the continuous notice is determined to be executed over the continuous notice.

  In this modified example, in the special figure variation display game based on the starting memories b to d, the variation pattern is determined so as not to reach the reach state regardless of whether or not the determination result of the variation pattern random number generates the reach state. It has become. Further, in the special figure change display game based on the starting memories b to d, the continuous notice display indicating the execution of the continuous notice changes according to the progress of the continuous notice. The continuous notice display is not directly related to the change display of the special figure change display game (the identification information is not configured).

  In the special figure variation display game b based on the continuous notice b, the first continuous notice is executed, and the first continuous notice display 71 is displayed (FIGS. 18D to 18E). Thereafter, in the special figure variation display game c based on the start memory c, the second continuous notice is executed and the second continuous notice display 72 is displayed (FIG. 18 (f)). In addition to the result mode display, a first continuous notice display 71 and a second continuous notice display 72 are displayed (FIG. 18G). Thus, it is possible to notify the player that the effects are being continuously performed. Further, in the special figure variation display game d based on the start memory d, the third continuous notice is executed and the third continuous notice display 73 is displayed (FIG. 18 (h)). In addition to the display of the result mode, a first continuous notice display 71, a second continuous notice display 72, and a third continuous notice display 73 are displayed (FIG. 18 (i)). Then, in the special figure variation display game e based on the start memory e, the fourth continuous notice is executed, and the fourth continuous notice display 74 is displayed (FIG. 18 (j)). In addition, a specific reach occurs. Further, together with the display of the result mode, a first continuous notice display 71, a second continuous notice display 72, a third continuous notice display 73, and a fourth continuous notice display 74 are displayed (FIG. 18 (k)), and the continuous notice ends. To do.

  From the above, the variation having a display unit capable of displaying a variable display game that displays a plurality of identification information in a variable manner based on the winning of a game ball to the start winning port (the first starting winning port 13, the normal variable winning device 7). A gaming machine that includes a display device (special display 9 and display device 43) and that generates a special gaming state advantageous to the player when the result of the variable display game is a special result, to a start winning opening A starting storage means (game control device 30) for storing various random number values extracted based on winnings of the game balls as a starting storage up to a predetermined number, and determination of various random number values stored in the starting storage means Determination means (game control device 30) for performing game, game execution means (game control device 30) for executing a variable display game based on a determination result by the determination means, and a variable display game based on start-up memory with establishment of a predetermined condition Span Continuous effect control means (game control device 30 and effect control device 40) for executing continuous effects in a plurality of variable display games, and the determining means sets a plurality of change patterns of the variable display game based on random numbers. A variation pattern selecting means (game control device 30) for selecting from the variation pattern, the continuous production control means varies for the start memory associated with establishment of a predetermined condition and all start memories stored before the start memory. This means that a continuous effect is executed when a specific variation pattern is selected by the pattern selection means.

In addition, the plurality of variation patterns include a first variation pattern set so that the execution time of the variation display game varies depending on the number of start memories stored in the start storage unit at the time of determination, and the start storage unit at the time of determination. Regardless of the number of stored start memories, the second variation pattern in which the execution time of the variation display game is set to be the same is set, and the continuous production control means (game control device 30 and production control device 40) , continuous if the second variation pattern is selected by all of the starting memories of change pattern selection means stored before remote I start Symbol 憶 with the establishment of a predetermined condition (game controller 30) This means that the production is executed.

  In the gaming machine of the above-described embodiment, the processing related to the continuous notice is managed by the effect control device 40, but may be managed by the game control device 30. That is, the game control device 30 performs processing related to the continuous notice performed by the effect control device 40, and the effect control device 40 controls display based on a command output from the game control device 30 as a result of the processing. You may do it.

  Next, a first modification, which is a modification of the gaming machine of the above-described embodiment, will be described with reference to FIGS. Basically, it has the same configuration as the gaming machine of the above-described embodiment, and hereinafter, the same reference numerals are given to portions having the same configuration, and the description is omitted, and mainly different portions. explain. The gaming machine of this modification does not determine the number of times of continuous notice when determining the execution of the continuous notice, but ends the continuous notice when a specific reach occurs. In other words, the start memory that triggers the execution of the continuous notice is a start memory that generates a specific reach, and a specific reach always occurs in a special figure variable display game in which the continuous notice ends. Therefore, when this specific reach occurs, the same control as that of the above-described embodiment can be performed by terminating the continuous notice.

  In this modification, the continuous notice setting process shown in FIG. 19 is executed instead of the continuous notice setting process shown in FIG. In this continuous notice setting process, the process (step S125) of setting the number of start memories until the suspension is not performed in the continuous notice number counter that has been performed in the continuous notice setting process shown in FIG.

  A variable display game stop process shown in FIG. 20 is executed instead of the variable display game stop process shown in FIG. In this variable display game stop process, the process of decrementing the continuous notice number counter performed in the variable display game stop process shown in FIG. 15 (step S143), and determining whether the value of the continuous notice number counter is 0 or not. (Step S144) is not performed, and it is determined whether or not the vehicle has stopped at a specific reach (Step S150). Then, in the determination of whether or not the game has been stopped at a specific reach (step S150), if it has not been stopped at a specific reach (step S150; N), the variable display game stop process is terminated. Further, in the determination of whether or not the vehicle has stopped at a specific reach (step S150), if the vehicle has stopped at a specific reach (step S150; Y), a process of clearing the continuous notice flag (step S145) is performed to display a variable display. The game stop process is terminated. As a result, the continuous notice is ended. By setting it as such a process, the burden of the process regarding the continuous notice in the production | presentation control apparatus 40 can be reduced.

  Next, a second modification of the gaming machine of the above-described embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. Basically, it has the same configuration as the gaming machine of the above-described embodiment, and hereinafter, the same reference numerals are given to portions having the same configuration, and the description is omitted, and mainly different portions. explain. The gaming machine of this modification is configured to perform two types of special figure fluctuation display games, a first special figure fluctuation display game and a second special figure fluctuation display game, as special figure fluctuation display games.

  As shown in FIG. 21, the gaming machine of this modification is provided with a first start port SW17 and a second start port SW18 as start ports SW. The first start opening SW17 is provided inside the first start winning opening 13 so as to detect a game ball won in the first starting winning opening 13. The second starting port SW18 is provided inside the normal variation winning device 7 so as to detect a game ball won in the normal variation winning device 7.

  The game control device 30 extracts various random numbers related to the first special figure variable display game based on the input of the detection signal of the game ball from the first start port SW17 provided in the first start winning port 13, and stores it in the RAM 31c. A process of storing up to a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4) is performed as the first start memory. That is, the game control device 30 serves as a first start storage means for storing a winning of a game ball in the first start winning opening 13 (first start winning area) as a first start memory. Similarly, based on the input of the detection signal of the game ball from the second start port SW18 provided in the normal variation winning device 7, various random numbers related to the second special figure variation display game are extracted and stored in the RAM 31c as the second start memory. Is stored as a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4). That is, the game control device 30 constitutes a second start storage means for storing the winning of the game ball in the second start winning opening (normal variation winning device 7, second start winning area) as the second start storage. Therefore, the game storage device 30 stores the winning of the game ball to the start winning area (the first start winning port 13, the normal variation winning device 7) as a start memory for each winning, up to a predetermined upper limit number. Make.

  The first special figure fluctuation display game and the second special figure fluctuation display game include a first special figure display 9a (fluctuation display apparatus, first fluctuation display apparatus), a second special figure display provided in the game area 1a. 9b (variable display device, second variable display device). The first special figure fluctuation display game and the second special figure fluctuation display game are games similar to the special figure fluctuation display game in the gaming machine of the above-described embodiment. That is, the first special figure display 9a and the display device 43 constitute a first fluctuation display device for displaying the first special figure fluctuation display game (first fluctuation display game), and the second special figure display 9b and the display device 43. Constitutes a second variation display device for displaying a second special figure variation display game (second variation display game). The first special figure display 9a, the second special figure display 9b, and the display device 43 form a variable display device that displays a variable display game based on a plurality of identification information. And as a result of this special figure fluctuation display game, when the display mode of the first special figure display 9a or the second special figure display 9b becomes a special result mode, it becomes a big hit and a special game state (so-called , Jackpot state). Correspondingly, the display mode of the display device 43 is also a special result mode. The first special figure display 9a and the second special figure display 9b may be separate displays or the same display. However, the special display is not performed independently or simultaneously. A variable display game is displayed. In addition, the display device 43 may use different display devices and different display areas in the first special map fluctuation display game and the second special figure fluctuation display game, or use the same display device and display area. However, the decoration special figure variation display game is displayed so as not to be executed independently or simultaneously. In addition, the game machine may not be provided with the first special figure display 9a and the second special figure display 9b, and the special figure variation display game may be executed only by the display device 43. The second start memory is preferentially digested over the first start memory. If there is a second start memory, the second special figure fluctuation display game is played even if the first start memory is present. Executed. However, during the execution of the first special figure fluctuation display game, the second special figure fluctuation display game is executed after the game ends. That is, when the game control device 30 has the second start memory in the second start memory means (game control device 30), the variable display game based on the second start memory is displayed as the variable display based on the first start memory. Priority control means for executing with priority over the game.

  If a special result is derived in the special figure variation display game, and if a predetermined condition is satisfied (if it is a specific special result mode (probability variation pattern)), the probability state is changed to a probable state after the special game state is finished. And so on. In addition, the first special figure fluctuation display game and the second special figure fluctuation display, regardless of whether the first special figure fluctuation display game or the second special figure fluctuation display game results in the special figure fluctuation display game. Both display games are in a probable state. When a special result is derived in the special figure variation display game in the probability variation state, the first special diagram variation is performed regardless of whether or not the special result mode is associated with establishment of a predetermined condition. Both the display game and the second special figure variation display game are once in the normal probability state. And when it is a special result aspect accompanied by establishment of predetermined conditions, it will be in a probability change state again after completion | finish of a special game state. In the case of a special result mode (normal symbol) that is not accompanied by the establishment of a predetermined condition, the normal probability state is maintained as it is even after the special game state is ended.

  In the game control device 30, a special game process shown in FIG. 22 is performed instead of the special game process shown in FIG. In this special figure game process, instead of the start opening monitoring process (step S30) performed in the special figure game process shown in FIG. 5, the first start opening monitoring process (step S160), the second start opening monitoring process (step S30).

Further, in the determination of whether or not there is a continuous notice flag (step S320), if there is no continuous notice flag (step S320; N), it is determined whether or not the time is short (step S321).

  In the determination as to whether or not the time is short (step S321), it is determined whether the operation state of the normal variation winning device 7 is the short time operation state (second start winning simplification state) (the game state is the probability variation state or the short time game). State). In the determination of whether or not the time is short (step S321), when the time is not short (step S321; N), the special figure 2 continuous notice setting process is terminated. In other words, the second special figure variation display game based on the second start memory is executed preferentially over the first special figure variation display game based on the first start memory, and the second start memory is set to a predetermined condition. In order to execute a continuous production based on the establishment of the above, it is necessary to generate a plurality of second start memories continuously. However, in the operation state other than the short-time operation state, it is difficult to execute a continuous presentation over a plurality of variable display games because a plurality of second start memories are rarely generated continuously. Can't produce an effective performance. For this reason, when the normal variation winning device 7 is in an operation state other than the short-time operation state, the first start memory restricts the execution of the continuous performance based on the establishment of the predetermined condition, thereby It is possible to execute only a continuous performance based on the fact that the start memory is accompanied by the establishment of a predetermined condition, and the player's expectation can be maintained over a plurality of variable display games, so that the interest of the game can be improved. . In other words, when the production control device 40 is in an operation state (normal operation state) other than the second start winning award (normally variable winning device 7) is in the second start winning facilitated state (short-time operation state), the second Continuous production regulation means for regulating execution of continuous production based on the fact that the start memory is accompanied by the establishment of a predetermined condition.

After the special game state based on the above, the unexecuted continuous notice may be resumed. In other words, the production control device 40 forms continuous production interruption means for interrupting the continuous production being executed when the first condition is established, and is interrupted by the continuous notice interruption means when the second condition is established. Continuous production resumption means for resuming continuous production is provided.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 44, the continuous notice may be continued until the first special figure variation display game based on the specific first start memory that has triggered the continuous notice is executed.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 45, after the end of the period in which the normal variation winning device 7 is in the short-time operation state after the end of the special game state based on the result of the second special figure change display game executed by interruption. In addition, an unexecuted continuous notice may be started after the second start memory generated during the period of the short operation state is exhausted. Further, the continuous production which has been interrupted may be resumed from the last variation display game in the period in which the normal variation winning device 7 is in the short-time operation state.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 46, after the end of the period in which the normal variation winning device 7 is in the short-time operation state after the end of the special game state based on the result of the second special figure change display game executed by interruption. All the continuous notices may be redisplayed in the first special figure variable display game that is executed after the second start memory generated during the short operation state is lost. At this time, the variation mode of the first special figure fluctuation display game is changed to a unit fluctuation display that is stopped after the plurality of identification information is fluctuated and displayed for a predetermined time in the decoration special figure fluctuation display game in the middle of the special figure fluctuation display game. The so-called quasi-continuous variation display mode in which the result mode is derived by performing multiple times is performed, so that the continuous notice is just ended in the first special figure variation display game based on the specific first start memory that triggered the occurrence of the continuous notice. To.

  From the above, the continuous production control means (game control device 30 and production control device 40) and the continuous production interruption means (production control device 40) for interrupting the continuous production being executed when the first condition is satisfied. When the second condition is satisfied, there is provided continuous effect resuming means (effect control device 40) for resuming the continuous effect interrupted by the continuous notice interrupting means.

  In addition, during the period from the end of the special game state to the execution of the predetermined number of variable display games, the second start winning opening (ordinary variable winning device 7) is set to be more active than the other start states. There is provided a second start winning facilitating means (game control device 30) for facilitating the winning of a game ball to the mouth, and a game starting means (game control device 30). Executes a time-variable display game that shortens the execution time of the one variable display game in the second start winning facilitated state as compared with the case other than the second start winning facilitated state, and continues the continuous notice interruption means (production The control device 40) interrupts the continuous performance being executed due to the occurrence of the special gaming state, and the continuous notice resuming means (production control device 40) starts from the last variation display game in the second start winning winning state. ,During And the fact that the continuous production had to be resumed.

  Further, in this modification, the continuous notice is continuously executed when the result of the second special figure variation display game that is executed by interruption is out of place, but the present invention is not limited to this. In the following, FIGS. 47 to 49 show modifications in such a case. In each example, a specific first start memory is generated in a state where there are three first start memories, and the execution of the continuous notice is determined over the first start memory as a precondition.

  As shown in FIG. 47, the subsequent continuous advance notice may be canceled along with the execution of the second special figure variation display game.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 48, the second special figure variation display game may be interrupted without executing the continuous notice, and the continuous notice may be resumed from the subsequent first special figure variation display game.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 49, the second special figure fluctuation display game may be changed so that the fluctuation display in the decoration special figure fluctuation display game is changed so that the second special figure fluctuation display game is not executed. good.

  As shown in FIG. 49 (a), the first special figure variation display game in which the second continuous notice is executed executes the continuous notice as scheduled, and the result mode is displayed as shown in FIG. 49 (b). Then, as shown in FIG. 49 (c), in the second special figure fluctuation display game executed after the first special figure fluctuation display game in which the second continuous notice is executed, The variation mode is variably displayed so as to shake the result display of the first special figure variation display game in which the second continuous notice is executed, and then stopped as shown in FIG. 49 (d) to derive the result mode. Change mode. By adopting such a variation mode, it is possible to avoid giving the impression that the second special figure variation display game is not executed and the continuous notice is interrupted. In the display on the second special figure display 9b, the usual fluctuation display is executed. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 49 (e), the first special figure variation display game in which the third continuous notice is executed executes the continuous notice as scheduled.

  Next, a third modification of the gaming machine of the above-described embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. Basically, it has the same configuration as the gaming machine of the above-described embodiment, and hereinafter, the same reference numerals are given to portions having the same configuration, and the description is omitted, and mainly different portions. explain. The gaming machine of this modification is configured to start the continuous notice from the special figure variation display game that is executed when the execution of the continuous notice is decided.

  In the gaming machine of this modification, the continuous notice setting process shown in FIG. 50 is performed instead of the continuous notice setting process shown in FIG. In this continuous notice setting process, first, it is determined whether or not there is a continuous notice flag (step S120). If there is a continuous notice flag (step S120; Y), the continuous notice setting process is terminated. When there is no continuous notice flag (step S120; N), it is determined whether or not a specific reach occurs (step S121).

  In the determination of whether or not a specific reach occurs (step S121), if the specific reach does not occur (step S121; N), the continuous notice setting process is terminated. When a specific reach occurs (step S121; Y), a process of acquiring hold information before the hold (step S122) is performed, and it is determined whether the hold state is executable (step S123). )I do.

  In the determination of whether or not it is in the executable hold state (step S123), if it is not in the executable hold state (step S123; N), the continuous notice setting process is terminated. Further, when it is in the executable hold state (step S123; Y), it is determined whether or not the continuous notice is executed (step S124).

  In the determination of whether or not to execute the continuous notice (step S124), when the continuous notice is not executed (step S124; N), the continuous notice setting process is terminated. Further, in the determination of whether or not to execute the continuous notice (step S124), when the continuous notice is executed (step S124; Y), the process of setting the number of start memories until the suspension is set in the continuous notice number counter (step S124). S125) is performed.

  After performing the process of setting the number of starting memories until the suspension in the continuous notice counter (step S125), the process of setting the continuous notice flag (step S126) is performed, and whether or not it is the stop symbol replacement possible period Determination (step S360) is performed. The stop symbol replacement possible period is a period from the start of the special figure variation display game to a predetermined time before the timing when the identification information is finally stopped. In the determination of whether or not it is a stop symbol replacement period (step S360), if it is a stop symbol replacement period (step S360; Y), stop symbol replacement processing (step S361) is performed, and continuous notice setting processing is performed. Exit. If it is not the stop symbol replacement period (step S360; N) in the determination of whether or not it is the stop symbol replacement period (step S360), the continuous notice setting process is terminated.

  By this stop symbol replacement process (step S361), the final stop symbol in the special symbol variation display game being executed is replaced with a specific symbol. The specific symbol is a symbol for notifying the execution of the continuous notice, and the player can be notified of the continuous performance by displaying the specific symbol as a stop symbol. That is, the production control device 40 serves as a notification means for reporting the execution of continuous production.

  Through the processing as described above, the continuous notice can be started from the special figure variation display game that is executed when the execution of the continuous notice is decided. That is, in the above-described embodiment, the continuous notice is started from the special figure fluctuation display game that is executed next to the special figure fluctuation display game that is executed when the execution of the continuous notice is determined. The game machine can start the continuous notice earlier than this. Therefore, even if a continuous production is determined during the execution of the special figure variation display game, the continuous production can be started immediately from the running variation display game, so the start timing of the continuous production is accelerated, In addition, it is possible to execute a continuous production more times than the number of starting memories, and a more effective production can be performed.

  From the above, the gaming machine 100 can display a variable display game that variably displays a plurality of pieces of identification information based on the winning of a game ball in the starting winning opening (the first starting winning opening 13, the normal variable winning device 7). A gaming machine that includes a variable display device (a special display 9 and a display device 43) having a display unit, and generates a special game state advantageous to a player when the result of the variable display game is a special result. , A starting storage means (game control device 30) for storing various random number values extracted based on winning of the game ball at the starting winning opening as a starting storage with a predetermined number as an upper limit, and various kinds of storage stored in the starting storage means Determination means (game control device 30) for determining the random number value of the game, game execution means (game control device 30) for executing the variable display game based on the determination result by the determination means, and start memory with establishment of a predetermined condition Based on Continuous effect control means (game control device 30, effect control device 40) for executing continuous effects in a plurality of variable display games over the display game, and notification means (effect control device 40) for notifying the execution of continuous effects. And the notification means is continuous in the running variable display game when a new start memory accompanied by establishment of a predetermined condition is stored in the start memory means within a predetermined period in the variable display game. The execution of the production is notified.

  In addition, the notification means (production control device 40) is being executed when a new start memory associated with establishment of a predetermined condition is stored in the start storage means (game control device 30) within a predetermined period in the variable display game. By replacing the identification information last stopped in the variable display game with specific identification information (specific symbols) different from the plurality of identification information, the execution of continuous effects is notified.

  If there is a continuous notice flag in the variable display game stop process, a process of setting the final stop symbol as a specific symbol may be performed. However, the special figure fluctuation display game that is the last round of the continuous notice and causes a specific reach is excluded. In this way, the last stop symbol is always the specific symbol during the continuous notice, and it is possible to inform the player that the continuous notice is being executed in an easy-to-understand manner. That is, in the variable display game while the notification means (the effect control device 40) executes the continuous effects, the identification information that stops last in the variable display game is set as the specific identification information. Also good.

  The start winning opening is a first start winning opening 13 and a second state that can be converted into a first state (closed state) in which a game ball cannot win and a second state (open state) in which a game ball can win. A start winning opening (ordinary variable winning apparatus 7), and the starting storage means (game control apparatus 30) receives a predetermined number of random numbers extracted based on the winning of the game ball to the first starting winning opening 13 The first start storage means (game control device 30) for storing the first start memory as the upper limit, and various random numbers extracted based on the winning of the game ball to the second start winning opening, the predetermined number as the upper limit A second start storage means (game control device 30) for storing as two start memories, and the game execution means (game control device 30), if the second start storage means has a second start storage, The variable display game based on the second start memory is changed to the variable display game based on the first start memory. Priority control means (game control device 30) that executes preferentially over the program, and the notification means (effect control device 40) executes continuous effects based on the first start memory that accompanies a predetermined condition. When the second start memory is generated, the identification information that is finally stopped in the variable display game based on the second start memory is set as the specific identification information (specific symbol). Also good.

  Next, a fourth modification of the gaming machine according to the above-described embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. Basically, it has the same configuration as the gaming machine of the above-described embodiment, and hereinafter, the same reference numerals are given to portions having the same configuration, and the description is omitted, and mainly different portions. explain. The gaming machine of this modification is configured to start the continuous notice from the special figure variation display game that is executed when the execution of the continuous notice is decided. Further, in the gaming machine of this modification, the game control device 30 executes processing related to continuous notice.

  In the gaming machine of this modification, the start port monitoring process shown in FIG. 51 is performed instead of the start port monitoring process shown in FIG. In this start port monitoring process, a continuous notice setting process (step S370) is performed in addition to the process in the start port monitoring process shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 52, the continuous notice setting process is performed by the game control apparatus 30 in the same manner as the continuous notice process shown in FIG. First, it is determined whether or not there is a continuous notice flag (step S120). If there is a continuous notice flag (step S120; Y), the continuous notice setting process is terminated. When there is no continuous notice flag (step S120; N), it is determined whether or not a specific reach occurs (step S121).

  In the determination of whether or not a specific reach occurs (step S121), if the specific reach does not occur (step S121; N), the continuous notice setting process is terminated. When a specific reach occurs (step S121; Y), a process of acquiring hold information before the hold (step S122) is performed, and it is determined whether the hold state is executable (step S123). )I do.

  In the determination of whether or not it is in the executable hold state (step S123), if it is not in the executable hold state (step S123; N), the continuous notice setting process is terminated. Further, when it is in the executable hold state (step S123; Y), it is determined whether or not the continuous notice is executed (step S124). Note that the executable hold state is a state in which the non-specific reach deviation pattern information is set as determination information for the start memory stored before the start memory. Furthermore, the change table 2 is selected as the change table for the start store stored before the start store. That is, in the special figure variation display game based on the start memory stored before the start memory, a specific reach does not occur and the result is lost, and the execution time is the same regardless of the start memory number at the start. State.

  In the determination of whether or not to execute the continuous notice (step S124), when the continuous notice is not executed (step S124; N), the continuous notice setting process is terminated. Further, in the determination of whether or not to execute the continuous notice (step S124), when the continuous notice is executed (step S124; Y), the process of setting the number of start memories until the suspension is set in the continuous notice number counter (step S124). S125) is performed.

  After performing the process of setting the number of starting memories until the suspension in the continuous notice counter (step S125), the process of setting the continuous notice flag (step S126) is performed, and whether or not it is the stop symbol replacement possible period A determination is made (step S380). When the continuous notice flag is set, the continuous notice information is included in the result information of the prefetch process transmitted to the effect control device 40.

  The stop symbol replacement possible period is a period from the start of the special figure variation display game to a predetermined time before the timing when the identification information is finally stopped. In the determination of whether or not it is a stop symbol replacement period (step S380), if it is a stop symbol replacement period (step S380; Y), a process of setting a stop symbol replacement flag (step S381) is performed, The continuous notice setting process is terminated. If it is not the stop symbol replacement period (step S380; N) in the determination of whether or not it is the stop symbol replacement period (step S380), the continuous notice setting process is terminated.

  Further, instead of the special figure routine process shown in FIG. 9, the special figure routine process shown in FIG. 53 is performed. In this special figure normal processing, the processing content of the special figure change start processing 1 is different. Further, in addition to the processing in the special figure normal processing shown in FIG. 9, the continuous notice control processing (step S390) is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 54, in this special figure variation start process, it is first determined whether or not it is a big hit (step S90). In the determination of whether or not it is a big hit (step S90), it is determined whether or not the big hit determination random number value stored in the start memory being processed matches the big hit determination value. In the determination of whether or not it is a big hit (step S90), if it is a big hit (step S90; Y), that is, if the random number for jackpot determination matches the big hit determination value, a process of setting the big hit information ( Step S91) is performed, and a process of setting a stop symbol (Step S92) is performed. In the process of setting the big hit information (step S91), for example, the process of setting the big hit flag is performed. Further, in the determination of whether or not it is a big hit (step S90), if it is not a big hit (step S90; No), that is, if the random number for jackpot determination does not match the big hit determination value, a process of setting a stop symbol ( Step S92) is performed.

  In the process of setting the stop symbol (step S92), the process of determining the stop symbol of the special symbol variation display game is performed based on the jackpot symbol random number value stored in the start memory being processed. Thereafter, it is determined whether or not there is a continuous notice flag (step S401). In the determination of whether or not there is a continuous notice flag (step S401), if there is a continuous notice flag (step S401; Y), the corresponding continuous notice variation table is selected (step S402), and the special figure information is obtained. A setting process (step S94) is performed. When there is a continuous notice flag, the continuous notice information is included in the change start command transmitted to the effect control device 40. In the determination of whether or not there is a continuous notice flag (step S401), if there is no continuous notice flag (step S401; N), a corresponding normal variation table is selected (step S403), and the special figure information is obtained. A setting process (step S94) is performed. In the process of setting special figure information (step S94), a process of setting special figure information which is information set for the special figure fluctuation display game is performed, and the special figure fluctuation start process 1 is ended.

  As shown in FIG. 55, in the continuous notice control process, it is first determined whether or not there is a continuous notice flag (step S410). If it is determined in step S410 that there is no continuous notice flag (step S410; N), the continuous notice control process is terminated. In the determination of whether or not there is a continuous notice flag (step S410), if there is a continuous notice flag (step S410; Y), a process of decrementing the continuous notice number counter by 1 (step S411) is performed, and the continuous notice is given. It is determined whether or not the value of the number counter is 0 (step S412).

  In the determination of whether or not the value of the continuous notice number counter is 0 (step S412), when the value of the continuous notice number counter is not 0 (step S412; N), the continuous notice control process is terminated. In the determination of whether or not the value of the continuous notice counter is 0 (step S412), when the value of the continuous notice counter is 0 (step S412; Y), the process of clearing the continuous notice flag (step S412; Y) Step S413) is performed. Thereafter, a process of setting a continuous notice end flag (step S414) is performed, and the continuous notice control process is ended. Note that, by the process of setting the continuous notice end flag, the continuous notice end information is included in the change start command transmitted to the effect control device 40.

  As shown in FIG. 56, in the special-fluctuation changing process, it is first determined whether or not the special-figure display game is at the end of the variable display (step S420). In the determination of whether or not the special figure variation display game is the timing of the end of the variable display (step S420), if the special figure variation display game is not the timing of the end of the variable display (step S420; N), the stop symbol replacement flag It is determined whether or not there is (step S421).

  In the determination of whether or not there is a stop symbol replacement flag (step S421), when there is no stop symbol replacement flag (step S421; N), the special symbol variation processing is terminated. In the determination of whether or not there is a stop symbol replacement flag (step S421), if there is a stop symbol replacement flag (step S421; Y), a process of setting a replacement stop symbol designation command (step S422) is performed. A process of clearing the stop symbol replacement flag (step S423) is performed, and the special figure changing process is terminated. The replacement stop designating command set here is transmitted to the effect control device 40.

  In addition, when it is determined whether or not the special figure fluctuation display game is at the timing of the end of the variable display (step S420), if the special figure fluctuation display game is at the timing of the end of the fluctuation display (step S420; Y), the decoration special is displayed. Processing for setting a figure stop command (step S424) is performed. This decoration special figure stop command is transmitted to the production control device 40, and a stop symbol in the decoration special figure fluctuation display game is determined based on this command.

  Thereafter, it is determined whether or not it is a big hit (step S425). If it is a big hit (step S425; Y), a process for setting a stop display time for big hit (step S426) is performed to perform special figure changing processing. Exit. Further, it is determined whether or not it is a big hit (step S425). If it is not a big hit (step S425; N), a process for setting a stop display time for losing is performed (step S427) to perform the special figure changing process. finish.

  The effect control device 40 performs a hold information setting process shown in FIG. 57 as a process related to the special figure variation display game. In the hold information setting process, first, it is determined whether or not a hold information command has been received (step S430). The hold information command is output from the game control device 30 to the effect control device 40 when the start memory is generated, and includes information related to the start memory. This hold information command includes a decoration special figure hold information command, specific reach deviation variation pattern information, no specific reach deviation variation pattern information, jackpot variation pattern information, and the like. In the determination of whether or not the hold information command has been received (step S430), if the hold information command has not been received (step S430; N), the hold information setting process ends. In the determination of whether or not the hold information command has been received (step S430), if the hold information command has been received (step S430; Y), a process of acquiring hold number information (step S431) is performed.

  In the process of acquiring the hold number information (step S431), the process of acquiring the hold number information is performed based on the decoration special figure hold number command which is one of the hold information commands. Next, the process (step S432) which acquires the determination information regarding the said suspension is performed. The determination information is information including the result of the pre-reading process for the start memory, and in the process of acquiring the determination information regarding the hold (step S432), the specific reach deviation variation pattern information, which is one of the hold information commands, Determination information is acquired based on out-of-specific fluctuation deviation pattern information and jackpot fluctuation pattern information.

  Next, it is determined whether or not there is continuous advance notice information (step S433). If there is no continuous advance notice information (step S433; N), a process of storing determination information related to the hold (step S436) is performed. The hold information setting process is terminated. Further, it is determined whether there is continuous notice information (step S433). If there is continuous notice information (step S433; Y), it is determined whether there is a replacement stop designating command (step S434). Do.

  When it is determined whether there is a replacement stop designating command (step S434), if there is no replacement stop designating command (step S434; N), processing for storing determination information regarding the hold is performed (step S436). Then, the hold information setting process ends. Further, it is determined whether or not there is a replacement stop designating command (step S434). If there is a replacement stop designating command (step S434; Y), a process of replacing stop symbol information (step S435) is performed. Then, a process of storing determination information related to the hold (step S436) is performed, and the hold information setting process is terminated.

  Further, the effect control device 40 performs a variable display game start process shown in FIG. 58 at the start of the special figure variable display game. In this variation display game start process, first, it is determined whether or not a variation start command has been received (step S440). The change start command includes information regarding the contents of the special figure change display game, and is transmitted from the game control device 30 to the effect control device 40 at the start of the special figure change display game. In the determination of whether or not this change start command has been received (step S440), if the change start command has not been received (step S440; N), the change display game start process is terminated. In the determination of whether or not the change start command has been received (step S440), if the change start command has been received (step S440; Y), a process of acquiring a change pattern number (step 441) is performed.

  The variation pattern number is for determining the variation pattern of the special figure variation display game, and is selected based on the variation pattern random number stored in the start memory in the game control device 30 at the start of the special figure variation display game. Is transmitted to the production control device 40. In the process of acquiring the variation pattern number (step S441), a process of acquiring the variation pattern number transmitted from the game control device 30 is performed.

  Thereafter, it is determined whether there is continuous notice end information (step S442). The continuous notice end information is information transmitted to the effect control apparatus 40 when the game control apparatus 30 determines the end of the continuous notice. In the determination of whether or not there is continuous notice end information (step S442), if there is continuous notice end information (step S442; Y), a process of selecting a corresponding variation pattern from the continuous notice final table (step S446). Is performed, a variation pattern setting process (step S445) is performed, and the variation display game start process is terminated. With this process, the final stage of continuous notice is executed. When it is determined whether there is continuous notice end information (step S442) and there is no continuous notice end information (step S442; N), it is determined whether there is continuous notice information (step S443).

  The continuous notice information is information transmitted to the effect control apparatus 40 when the continuous notice flag is set in the game control apparatus 30 when the continuous notice is being executed. In the determination of whether or not there is continuous notice information (step S443), if there is continuous notice information (step S443; Y), a process of selecting a corresponding variation pattern from the continuous notice selection table (step S444) is performed. Do. Note that only the variation pattern corresponding to the execution time selected in the variation table 2 is set in the continuous notice selection table. Further, in the determination of whether or not there is continuous notice information (step S443), if there is no continuous notice information (step S443; N), a process of selecting a corresponding variation pattern from the normal selection table (step S447) is performed. Do. In the normal selection table, a variation pattern corresponding to the execution time selected in the variation table 1 and the variation table 2 is set.

  Thereafter, a variation pattern setting process (step S445) is performed, and the variation display game start process is terminated. In the variation pattern setting process (step S445), a variation pattern is selected from the obtained variation pattern number and the selected selection table. With the above processing, the variation pattern of the special figure variation display game is determined.

  An example in which the continuous notice is executed by the processing as described above is shown in FIGS. In this example, a start memory for selecting the fluctuation table 2 is generated during the execution of the special figure fluctuation display game, and a start memory for executing a specific reach is generated within the stop symbol replacement period, and The example in which it is decided to execute the continuous notice over the continuous notice is shown.

  As shown in FIG. 60 (a), d is generated from the start memory b during execution of the special figure variation display game A (t2, t3, t4 in FIG. 59), and as shown in FIG. 60 (b). When the start memory e is generated (t5 in FIG. 59) and execution of the continuous notice is determined, the last stop symbol of the special figure variation display game A is replaced. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 60 (c), as the final stop symbol, a specific symbol 80 (display of “continuous hit”) for notifying the player of the execution of the continuous notice is displayed (t7 in FIG. 59). That is, at the start of the special figure fluctuation display game A, it has not been determined that the continuous notice is executed. The final stop symbol of the special symbol variation display game A is changed to the specific symbol 80. As a result, it is possible to make it appear that the continuous notice starts from the special figure fluctuation display game A, the start timing of the continuous production is advanced, and it is possible to execute the continuous production more times than the start memory number, A more effective performance can be performed.

  Then, as shown in FIGS. 60D to 60F, the final stop symbol in the special symbol variation display game based on the start memory b in which the first continuous notice is performed is also the specific symbol 80 ("continuous attack"). Display) is displayed (FIG. 60F). Further, as shown in FIG. 60 (h) to (i) or (j), a specific reach is executed in the special figure variation display game based on the start memory e, and the jackpot result mode (FIG. 60 (i)) or the result mode of deviation (FIG. 60 (j)) is displayed.

  Through the processing as described above, the continuous notice can be started from the special figure variation display game that is executed when the execution of the continuous notice is decided. That is, in the above-described embodiment, the continuous notice is started from the special figure fluctuation display game that is executed next to the special figure fluctuation display game that is executed when the execution of the continuous notice is determined. The game machine can start the continuous notice earlier than this. Therefore, even if a continuous production is determined during the execution of the special figure variation display game, the continuous production can be started immediately from the running variation display game, so the start timing of the continuous production is accelerated, In addition, it is possible to execute a continuous production more times than the number of starting memories, and a more effective production can be performed.

  The gaming machine 100 as described above is a display capable of displaying a variable display game in which a plurality of pieces of identification information are variably displayed based on a winning of a game ball in a starting winning opening (first starting winning opening 13, normal variation winning apparatus 7). A game machine that generates a special gaming state advantageous to the player when the result of the variable display game is a special result, A starting storage means (game control device 30) for storing various random number values extracted based on winning of a game ball at the starting winning opening as a starting storage with a predetermined number as an upper limit, and various kinds of storage stored in the starting storage means In the determination means (game control device 30) for determining the random number value, the game execution means (game control device 30) for executing the variable display game based on the determination result by the determination means, and the start-up memory accompanied by the establishment of the predetermined condition Variation table based Continuous effect control means (game control device 30, effect control device 40) for executing continuous effects in a plurality of variable display games over the game, and the determining means is based on a random number value. Including a variation pattern selecting means (game control device 30) for selecting a plurality of variation patterns, and the continuous production control means includes a start memory associated with establishment of a predetermined condition and all the start memorized before the start memory. When a specific variation pattern is selected by the variation pattern selection means for storage, a continuous effect is executed.

  Therefore, the continuous production control means is continuous when a specific variation pattern is selected by the variation pattern selection means for the start memory associated with establishment of a predetermined condition and all the start memories stored before the start memory. Since a specific effect is executed, the player's expectation can be maintained and the interest of the game can be improved even if the variation pattern along with the progress of the game can be selected. In other words, it is possible to secure sufficient time for performing the effects in each of the variable display games that execute the continuous effects, so that an effective effect can be achieved, and the player's expectation can be maintained over a plurality of variable display games. Improve the fun of gaming.

  In addition, the plurality of variation patterns include a first variation pattern set so that the execution time of the variation display game varies depending on the number of start memories stored in the start storage unit at the time of determination, and the start storage unit at the time of determination. Regardless of the number of stored start memories, the second variation pattern in which the execution time of the variation display game is set to be the same is set, and the continuous production control means (game control device 30 and production control device 40) When the second variation pattern is selected by the variation pattern selection means (game control device 30) for the start memory associated with the establishment of the predetermined condition and all the start memories stored before the start memory. I try to perform a typical production.

  Therefore, the continuous production control means relates to the number of start memories stored in the start storage means at the time of determination for start memories associated with establishment of predetermined conditions and all start memories stored before the start memories. Since the continuous effect is executed when the second variation pattern in which the execution time of the variation display game is set to be the same is selected by the variation pattern selection means, the variation pattern along the progress of the game Even if it can be selected, the player's expectation can be maintained and the interest of the game can be improved. In other words, it is possible to secure sufficient time for performing the effects in each of the variable display games that execute the continuous effects, so that an effective effect can be achieved, and the player's expectation can be maintained over a plurality of variable display games. Improve the fun of gaming.

  The start winning opening is a first start winning opening 13 and a second state that can be converted into a first state (closed state) in which a game ball cannot win and a second state (open state) in which a game ball can win. A start winning opening (ordinary variable winning apparatus 7), and the starting storage means (game control apparatus 30) receives a predetermined number of random numbers extracted based on the winning of the game ball to the first starting winning opening 13 The first start storage means (game control device 30) for storing the first start memory as the upper limit, and various random numbers extracted based on the winning of the game ball to the second start winning opening, the predetermined number as the upper limit A second start storage means (game control device 30) for storing as two start memories, and the game execution means (game control device 30), if the second start storage means has a second start storage, The variable display game based on the second start memory is changed to the variable display game based on the first start memory. Priority control means (game control device 30) that executes preferentially over the game, and the continuous effect control means (game control device 30, effect control device 40) is based on the first start memory with the establishment of a predetermined condition. When the second start memory is generated during execution of the continuous effect, the continuous effect is also executed in the variable display game based on the second start memory.

  Therefore, if the second start memory is generated during execution of the continuous effect based on the first start memory accompanied by the establishment of the predetermined condition, the continuous effect control means changes the display game based on the second start memory. In this case, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of inconveniences such as interruption of the continuous performance in the middle and to maintain the player's expectation over a plurality of variable display games. Can improve the fun of gaming.

  Further, the second start winning award (ordinary variable winning device 7) is in an operation state in which a game ball can be easily won in the second start winning award as compared to other operating states. The second start winning award facilitating means (game control device 30) is provided, and the continuous effect control means (the game control device 30, the effect control device 40) has a second start winning opening other than the second start winning award facilitating state. In the case of the operation state, a continuous production regulating means (production control device 40) for regulating execution of a continuous production based on the fact that the second start memory is accompanied by the establishment of a predetermined condition is provided.

  Therefore, when the second start winning opening is in an operation state other than the second start winning facilitated state, the continuous effect control means performs the continuous effect based on the fact that the second start memory is accompanied by the establishment of the predetermined condition. Since the continuous production regulating means for regulating the execution is provided, the player's expectation can be maintained over a plurality of variable display games, and the interest of the game can be improved. That is, the variable display game based on the second start memory is executed preferentially over the variable display game based on the first start memory, and the second start memory is continuously based on the fact that the predetermined condition is satisfied. In order to execute a typical effect, a plurality of second start memories need to be continuously generated. However, when the operation state is other than the second start winning simplification state, a plurality of second start memories are rarely generated continuously, so a continuous effect is performed over a plurality of variable display games. It is difficult to do and cannot produce an effective performance. For this reason, when the second start winning opening is in an operation state other than the second start winning facilitated state, the execution of the continuous production based on the fact that the second start memory accompanies the establishment of the predetermined condition is restricted. Thus, the first start memory can perform only a continuous production based on the establishment of a predetermined condition, and the player's expectation can be maintained over a plurality of variable display games, thereby improving the interest of the game. become able to.

  Further, the continuous effect control means (game control device 30, effect control device 40) executes the reach state as a continuous effect.

  Therefore, since the continuous effect control means executes the reach state as a continuous effect, the player's expectation can be maintained over a plurality of variable display games, and the interest of the game can be improved.
