For example, the sub-high-accuracy flag indicating whether or not the high-probability lottery state is occurring is stored in the effect control RAM 31c. In addition, the effect control RAM 31c stores a secondary operation flag indicating whether or not the entrance rate improvement state is occurring.

Hereinafter, the control contents executed by the main control board 30 and the effect control board 31 will be described.
First, various processes executed by the main control CPU 30a of the main control board 30 based on the main control program will be described. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a executes various processes every predetermined control cycle.

First, the special symbol input process will be described.
When the main control CPU 30a receives a detection signal output from the upper start switch SW1 or the lower start switch SW2 when detecting a game ball that has entered the upper start ball entering device 15 or the lower start ball entering device 17, the main control CPU 30a receives the main control. It is determined whether or not the reserved storage number stored in the RAM 30c is less than the upper limit number (“4” in the present embodiment). When the determination result of the hold determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a adds 1 to the hold memory number and rewrites the hold memory number. At the same time, the main control CPU 30a controls the display content of the hold display device 26 so as to represent the hold storage number after 1 addition.

  The main control CPU 30a having affirmed the hold determination also generates various random numbers generated in the main control board 30 (a jackpot determination random number, an effect determination random number, a special symbol distribution random number, and a variation pattern distribution random number). ) And the value is stored (stored) in the storage area of the main control RAM 30c associated with the reserved storage number. In this way, by storing the values of various random numbers in the main control RAM 30c in association with the reserved storage number, the execution of the symbol variation game is put on hold. In the present embodiment, the main control RAM 30c that holds the execution of the symbol variation game and stores various random number values as game content determination random numbers in association with the symbol variation game for which the execution has been suspended is reserved memory. Functions as a means. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a that acquires various random number values functions as a random number acquisition unit.

  Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a generates a prefetch command based on the acquired values of various random numbers. Then, the main control CPU 30a outputs the generated prefetch command to the effect control CPU 31a, and ends the special symbol input process. When the determination result of the hold determination is negative, the main control CPU 30a does not rewrite the hold storage number exceeding the upper limit number, and ends the special symbol input process without obtaining the values of the random numbers described above. To do.

  Here, the generation of a prefetch command will be described based on the values of various random numbers obtained based on FIG. The prefetch commands in the present embodiment include three types of prefetch commands: prefetch commands SC1 to SC3.

  The main control CPU 30a generates a prefetch command SC1 when the value of the jackpot determination random number does not match the jackpot determination value, and when the value of the effect determination random number does not match the effect determination value. Further, the main control CPU 30a generates the prefetch command SC2 when the value of the jackpot determination random number does not match the jackpot determination value and when the value of the effect determination random number matches the effect determination value. Further, the main control CPU 30a generates a prefetch command SC3 when the value of the jackpot determination random number matches the jackpot determination value.

Next, the special symbol start process will be described.
The main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the symbol variation game is being executed or whether the big hit game is being generated. If the determination result of the execution condition determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process. On the other hand, if the determination result of the execution condition determination is negative, the reserved memory number is read, and the reserved number determination is performed as to whether or not the reserved memory number is greater than “0 (zero)”. When the determination result of the hold number determination is negative, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the hold number determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a subtracts 1 from the hold storage number, and various random numbers stored in the storage area corresponding to the hold storage number “1” of the main control RAM 30c. The values of (big hit determination random number, production determination random number, special symbol distribution random number, and variation pattern distribution random number) are read. Further, the main control CPU 30a changes the display content of the hold display device 26 so as to represent the hold storage number after 1 subtraction.

  At this time, the main control CPU 30a stores various random number values stored in the storage area corresponding to the reserved storage number “2” of the main control RAM 30c in the storage area corresponding to the reserved storage number “1”. . Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a stores various random number values stored in the storage area corresponding to the reserved storage number “3” in the storage area corresponding to the reserved storage number “2”. Next, the main control CPU 30a stores the values of various random numbers stored in the storage area corresponding to the reserved storage number “4” in the storage area corresponding to the reserved storage number “3”, and then stores the reserved storage number “ The values of various random numbers stored in the storage area corresponding to “4” are deleted.

  Further, the main control CPU 30a that has read various random number values determines whether or not the read big hit determination random number value matches the big hit determination value, and performs a big hit determination (big hit lottery). At this time, the main control CPU 30a performs a jackpot lottery using a jackpot determination value according to whether or not the high probability lottery state is occurring.

  When the big hit lottery is won, the main control CPU 30a executes a big hit variation process for causing the symbol variation game to be a big hit. In the big hit variation process, the main control CPU 30a determines the big hit type based on the read special symbol distribution random number value. In the present embodiment, the jackpot symbol and the jackpot type to be confirmed and displayed on the special symbol display device 25 by determining the jackpot symbol from the jackpot symbol classified as the specific jackpot and the jackpot symbol classified as the non-specific jackpot. To decide. Further, the main control CPU 30a determines a variation pattern from a plurality of types of variation patterns for jackpot effect based on the read variation pattern distribution random number value. When the main control CPU 30a determines the variation pattern in the big hit variation process, the special symbol start process is terminated.

  On the other hand, when the big hit lottery is not won, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the read-out effect determination random number value matches the effect determination value and performs a specific effect determination (specific effect lottery). When the specific effect lottery is won, the main control CPU 30a executes an outlier specific variation process for executing a symbol variation game that is out of play after executing the specific effect. In the deviation specifying variation process, the main control CPU 30a determines that the special symbol display device 25 displays the symbols to be confirmed and stopped. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a determines a variation pattern from among the plurality of types of variation patterns for the off-specific identification effect based on the read variation pattern distribution random number value. Then, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process when the fluctuation pattern is determined in the deviation specifying fluctuation process.

  In addition, when the specific effect lottery is not won, the main control CPU 30a executes the off-normal variation process for executing the symbol variation game that is out of the range without executing the specific effect. In the normal deviation processing, the main control CPU 30a determines that the special symbol display device 25 displays the symbol to be confirmed and stopped. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a determines a variation pattern from among a plurality of types of variation patterns for the off-normal effect based on the read variation pattern distribution random number value. Then, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process when the fluctuation pattern is determined in the off-normal fluctuation process.

  The main control CPU 30a that has determined the special symbol and the variation pattern in the special symbol start process outputs a control command generated according to the determined content to the effect control CPU 31a at a predetermined timing. Specifically, the main control CPU 30a first outputs a variation pattern designation command for designating a variation pattern and instructing the start of the symbol variation game at the start of the symbol variation game. At the same time, the main control CPU 30a outputs a special symbol designation command for designating the special symbol determined in the special symbol start process to the effect control CPU 31a. Then, the main control CPU 30a outputs all symbol stop commands instructing the end of the symbol variation game when the variation time set in the instructed variation pattern has elapsed, as the variation time elapses, and determines the special The display contents of the special symbol display device 25 are controlled so that the symbols are displayed in a fixed stop state.

  In addition, when the big hit lottery is won, the main control CPU 30a controls the open state and the closed state of the big prize winning device 20 after the end of the symbol variation game to be won in the big hit lottery, thereby causing the big hit game to occur.

  The main control CPU 30a controls the gaming state by managing the main high-accuracy flag and the main operation flag. Specifically, when the high probability lottery state is generated, the main control CPU 30a sets information indicating that the high probability lottery state is being generated in the main high-accuracy flag. When the high probability lottery state is not caused, the main control CPU 30a sets information indicating that the high probability lottery state is not occurring in the main high probability flag. Further, when causing the entrance rate improvement state to occur, the main control CPU 30a sets information indicating that the entrance rate improvement state is occurring in the main operation flag. Further, when the entry rate improvement state is not caused, the main control CPU 30a sets information indicating that the entry rate improvement state is not occurring in the main operation flag.

Next, various processes executed by the effect control CPU 31a of the effect control board 31 based on the control program will be described.
When the variation control designation command and the special symbol designation command are input, the effect control CPU 31a of the effect control board 31 determines the symbol combination of the decorative symbols to be confirmed and stopped on the effect display device 11 according to the instruction content of the command. Specifically, when the jackpot symbol is designated, the effect control CPU 31a determines the symbol combination of the decorative symbols to be confirmed and stopped from the symbol combination of the jackpot. In addition, when a missing symbol is designated, the effect control CPU 31a determines a symbol combination of decorative symbols to be confirmed and stopped from among the missing symbol combinations.

  When the change pattern designation command is input, the effect control CPU 31a controls the display contents of the effect display device 11 so that the decorative symbols of each symbol row are displayed in a variable manner to start the symbol change game. Then, when the all-design stop command is input, the effect control CPU 31a causes the effect display device 11 to confirm and display the symbol combination of the decorative symbols determined to be confirmed and stopped. Thus, in the present embodiment, the effect display device 11 that executes the symbol variation game that becomes the variation game functions as a game execution unit. In the present embodiment, the effect control CPU 31a that causes the effect display device 11 to execute the symbol variation game functions as a game control means.

  In addition, when the jackpot game is generated, the effect control CPU 31a displays the display mode of the effect display device 11 and the sound output of the speaker Sp so that a predetermined jackpot effect is executed until the jackpot game ends. The mode and the light emission mode of the decorative lamp La are controlled.

  Further, the effect control CPU 31a performs control so that the gaming state can be specified by managing the sub-high-accuracy flag and the sub-operation flag. Specifically, when the high-probability lottery state is generated, the production control CPU 31a sets information that can specify that the high-probability lottery state is occurring in the sub-high-precision flag. When the high-probability lottery state is not generated, the effect control CPU 31a sets information that can specify that the high-probability lottery state is not occurring in the sub-high-accuracy flag. Further, when the entrance rate improvement state is generated, the effect control CPU 31a sets information that can specify that the entrance rate improvement state is occurring in the secondary operation flag. Further, when the entrance rate improvement state is not generated, the effect control CPU 31a sets information that can specify that the entrance rate improvement state is not occurring in the secondary operation flag.

  Further, when the prefetch command is input, the effect control CPU 31a stores prefetch information that can specify the type of the prefetch command in a storage area corresponding to the number of reserved memories in the storage area of the effect control RAM 31c.

  Further, when the effect control CPU 31a inputs the variation pattern designation command, the prefetch information stored in the storage area corresponding to the reserved storage number “2” of the effect control RAM 31c corresponds to the reserved memory number “1”. Store in the storage area. Thereafter, the effect control CPU 31a stores the prefetch information stored in the storage area corresponding to the reserved storage number “3” in the storage area corresponding to the reserved storage number “2”. Next, the effect control CPU 31a stores the prefetch information stored in the storage area corresponding to the reserved storage number “4” in the storage area corresponding to the reserved storage number “3”, and then stores the reserved storage number “4”.

Incidentally, in FIG. 5, one first entrance route RJ1 and one second entrance route RJ2 are shown, but there are a plurality of types of entrance routes RJ1 and RJ2 other than the entrance route shown. And even if it is a case where it deviates from the rotation route RK from which point, and a movement is displayed, a player guesses about which ball image YK is displayed in the aspect which enters into holes HL1 and HL2 by the said point. Can not.

  The pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment is configured to execute an expected effect by displaying a ball image YK. The expected effect includes a case where the game is executed for a symbol variation game whose execution is suspended, and a case where it is executed for a symbol variation game being executed.

  In the present embodiment, when the expected effect is executed for the symbol variation game for which execution is suspended, the ball image YK is moved and displayed in a manner of entering the entrance Hb of the hold corresponding image H. On the other hand, when the expected effect is executed for the running symbol variation game, the ball image YK is moved and displayed on the lottery dish Cra of the croon Cr, and enters the first hole HL1 or the second hole HL2. Moved and displayed. Therefore, in this embodiment, the display area below the passage route TR and displaying the hold corresponding image H corresponds to the hold target area. The display area on the right side of the passage route TR and displaying the crunch Cr including the holes HL1 and HL2 that are the fluctuation corresponding images corresponds to the fluctuation target area.

Here, an effect mode when an expected effect is executed for a symbol variation game whose execution is suspended will be described.
In the present embodiment, there are two types of effect modes when the expected effect is executed for the symbol variation game whose execution is suspended, a first effect mode and a second effect mode. As to which of the first effect mode and the second effect mode the expected effect is to be executed, after the execution of the expected effect is determined for the symbol variation game whose execution has been suspended, It is decided.

First, based on FIGS. 6A to 6E, the expected effect of the first effect mode executed for the symbol variation game whose execution is suspended will be described.
As shown in FIG. 6A, before the expected effect of the first effect mode is executed, the effect image ErX indicating that the effect area Er of the hold corresponding image H is not the target of the expected effect. Is displayed.

  And as shown in FIG.6 (b), when the ball image YK is displayed in the aspect which enters into the entrance Hb of the holding | maintenance corresponding | compatible image H corresponding to the design variation game used as the object of expectation effect, In the region Er, a plurality of types of preliminary effect images are displayed in a varying manner.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIGS. 6C to 6E, when a predetermined time has elapsed after the advance effect image is variably displayed, the advance effect image Erb imitating a star, the advance effect image Erb imitating a heart, and “ One of the pre-effect images of the pre-effect image Erc that imitates the character “To” is displayed in the effect area Er, and a pre-effect result is derived. The prior effect image is displayed before the end of the running symbol variation game.

  In the present embodiment, the symbol variation game corresponding to the hold-corresponding image H on which the preliminary effect image is displayed is more displayed when the preliminary effect image Erb is displayed than when the preliminary effect image Era is displayed in the effect region Er. Expectation to be a big hit increases. Further, it is expected that the symbol variation game corresponding to the hold corresponding image H on which the preliminary effect image is displayed becomes a big hit when the preliminary effect image Erc is displayed rather than the preliminary effect image Erb being displayed. The degree becomes higher. Incidentally, when the preliminary effect image Erc is displayed, it can be specified before the execution of the symbol variable game that the symbol variable game corresponding to the hold corresponding image H on which the preliminary effect image Erc is displayed becomes a big hit. In this way, in the effect area Er, a pre-effect image of a type corresponding to the game content of the symbol variation game that is the target of the expected effect of the first effect mode is displayed.

Next, based on FIGS. 7A and 7B, the expected effect of the second effect mode executed for the symbol variation game whose execution is suspended will be described.
As shown in FIG. 7A, it is assumed that the sphere image YK is displayed in a manner of entering the entrance Hb of the hold corresponding image H corresponding to the symbol variation game that is the target of the expected effect.

  Then, as shown in FIG.7 (b), the egg image Ta imitating an egg is displayed on the effect display apparatus 11, and a prior effect result is derived | led-out. The egg image Ta is displayed on the effect display device 11 at a position where it does not overlap with the holding correspondence images H1 to H4, the warp route WR, the passage route TR, and the crune Cr. Further, the color of the egg image Ta changes in ten steps (step Ta0 → step Ta1 → ... → step Ta9) in a predetermined order.

  When the expected effect is executed in the second effect mode, the color of the egg image Ta is changed according to the number of operations of the effect button BT until the execution of the symbol variation game that is the target of the expected effect is started. The content of the pre-production result is changed by changing the target. When the symbol variation game that is the target of the expected representation of the second effect mode is a big hit, the color of the egg image Ta is more likely to change than when the symbol variation game that is the target is out of play. Incidentally, when the color of the egg image Ta changes to the highest level Ta9, it can be identified before the start of the execution of the symbol variation game that the symbol variation game targeted for the expected effect is a big hit.

  Furthermore, when the execution of the symbol variation game that is the target of the expected effect of the second effect mode is started, an animal image Dg is displayed instead of the egg image Ta. There are multiple types of animal images Dg. Then, the type of animal image Dg displayed as the animal image Dg is determined with a probability corresponding to the color change (stage) of the egg image Ta and the game content of the target symbol variation game, and the determined type of animal An image Dg is displayed. From the type of the animal image Dg displayed, it is possible to specify the level of expectation that the symbol variation game that has been started will be a big hit.

Next, based on FIGS. 8A to 8E, the display mode of the effect display device 11 when the expected effect is executed for the symbol variation game being executed will be described.
As shown in FIG. 8A, when the expected effect is executed for the symbol variation game being executed, the ball image YK is moved and displayed along the transition route RE and is displayed on the rotation route RK of the lottery dish Cra. It is moved and displayed along.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 8B, when the ball image YK enters the first hole HL1, the ball image YK is displayed along the first ball entry route RJ1, and the first hole is displayed. A spherical image YK is displayed in a manner of entering the HL1.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 8C, the character image CH is displayed on the lottery dish Cra and the balloon image Ye is displayed. The balloon image Ye has a character area Mr. A character image is displayed in the character region Mr. There are multiple types of character images. Then, the type of the character image is determined with a probability corresponding to the game contents of the symbol variation game being executed, the determined character image is displayed in the character region Mr, and the variation effect result is derived.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8D, when the ball image YK enters the second hole HL2, the ball image YK is displayed along the second ball entry route RJ2, and the second hole HL2 is displayed. A spherical image YK is displayed in a manner of entering the HL2.

Then, as shown in FIG. 8E, the character image CH is displayed on the lottery dish Cra, while the balloon image Ye is not displayed.
In the present embodiment, when the symbol variation game being executed is a big hit, the effects are more easily developed in a manner in which the ball image YK enters the first hole HL1 than when the game is lost. Further, even when the game is out of place, when the specific effect is executed in the running symbol variation game, the ball image YK enters the first hole HL1 more than when the specific effect is not executed. Production is easy to develop in a manner.

  Further, in the present embodiment, after the execution of the symbol variation game is suspended and before the symbol variation game is executed, every time the symbol variation game is started, the pre-flash that causes the effect lamp Lb to emit light. Perform the production. Execution of the pre-lighting effect is determined with a probability corresponding to the game content of the symbol variation game whose execution has been suspended.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 9, only one sphere image YK is normally displayed, but when a pre-light emission effect is executed, a plurality of sphere images YK may be displayed. These spherical images YK are displayed in such a manner that they flow downward from above the image display unit GH of the effect display device 11 as the effect lamp Lb emits light. Thereby, it is possible to make it appear as if the sphere image YK is easily displayed in a manner in which the sphere image YK enters the entrance Hb of the hold-corresponding image H, rather than when one sphere image YK is displayed. .

  In addition, when it is determined to execute the expected effect for the symbol variation game for which execution has been suspended, and it is determined to execute the pre-lighting effect, the ball image YK together with the pre-lighting effect is determined. Are displayed multiple times. When a plurality of ball images YK are displayed in accordance with the execution of the pre-lighting effect, the ball image YK enters the entrance Hb of the hold corresponding image H corresponding to the symbol variation game that is the target of the expected effect. A spherical image YK is displayed in a spherical manner.

Hereinafter, control for executing various expected effects will be described.
In the effect control RAM 31c, when the expected effect is already executed for the symbol variation game whose execution is suspended, executed information is stored. When the executed information is stored in the effect control RAM 31c, the effect control CPU 31a does not determine execution of the expected effect. In addition, the executed information stored in the effect control RAM 31c is deleted when the symbol variation game that is the target of the expected effect is ended.

  The effect control CPU 31a performs an execution target lottery to determine whether or not to execute the expected effect for the symbol variation game to be executed. When the execution target lottery is won, it is determined to execute the expected effect for the symbol variation game to be started. On the other hand, when the execution target lottery is not won, it is not determined to execute the expected effect for the symbol variation game to be started. Incidentally, “targeting a symbol variation game that starts execution” means “targeting a symbol variation game being executed” when an expected effect is actually performed.

  The winning probability of the execution target lottery varies depending on the game content of the symbol variation game to be executed. Specifically, if the symbol variation game to be executed has a big hit game content, the symbol variation game to be executed is executed so that it is easier to win than the case where the symbol variation game to be executed is an out-of-game content. The winning probability of the target lottery is defined. In addition, even if the symbol variation game to be executed is out of the game content, if the game content is that the specific effect is executed, it is won more than the game content in which the specific effect is not executed. In order to facilitate, the winning probability of the execution target lottery is determined.

  In addition, when the effect control CPU 31a determines to execute the expected effect for the symbol variation game to be started, the ball image YK enters either the first hole HL1 or the second hole HL2. Decide whether to execute the expected performance. The probability of determining one of the first hole HL1 and the second hole HL2 varies depending on the game content of the symbol variation game to be executed. Specifically, when the symbol variation game to be executed has a big hit game content, the first hole HL1 is determined as compared to the case where the symbol variation game to be executed is a game content to be out of play. High probability of doing. In addition, even if the game content is a game content for which a specific effect is executed even if the symbol variation game for which execution is suspended is out of the game content, the game content that is not executed for the specific effect is The probability of determining 1 hole HL1 is set high.

  In addition, when it is determined that the expected effect is to be executed in such a manner that the ball image YK enters the first hole HL1, the effect control CPU 31a determines the type of character image to be displayed in the character area Mr of the balloon image Ye. The effect control CPU 31a determines a character image to be displayed in the character region Mr from a plurality of types with a probability corresponding to the game content of the symbol variation game to be started.

  Then, the effect control CPU 31a that has decided to execute the expected effect in a mode in which the ball image YK enters the first hole HL1, moves and displays a path for moving and displaying the ball image YK from the warp route WR to the first hole HL1. decide. Similarly, the effect control CPU 31a that has decided to execute the expected effect in a manner in which the sphere image YK enters the second hole HL2 moves and displays the sphere image YK from the warp route WR to the second hole HL2. To decide.

  When the execution target lottery is not won, the effect control CPU 31a refers to the pre-read information stored in the effect control RAM 31c, and determines the symbol variation game whose execution is the target of the expected effect. When the prefetch information that can identify the prefetch command SC2 or the prefetch command SC3 exists in the prefetch information, the effect control CPU 31a plays a symbol variation game corresponding to the prefetch information stored in the earliest order of the prefetch information. Then, it is determined as the symbol variation game whose execution as the target of the expected effect is suspended. In addition, when all of the prefetch information is prefetch information that can identify the prefetch command SC1, the performance control CPU 31a is suspended from executing the symbol variation game corresponding to the prefetch information determined by lottery as the target of the expected production. Determined as a symbol variation game.

  In addition, when the effect control CPU 31a determines the symbol variation game whose execution to be the target of the expected effect is suspended, the CPU 31a for suspension determines whether or not to execute the expected effect for the symbol variation game whose execution has been suspended. Make a lottery. When the lottery for holding target is won, it is determined that the expected effect is executed for the symbol variation game whose execution is put on hold. On the other hand, when the lottery for holding target is not won, it is not determined to execute the expected effect for the symbol variation game whose execution is put on hold. The effect control CPU 31a does not perform the hold target lottery when the prefetch information is not stored in the effect control RAM 31c (the number of stored memories = 0).

  The winning probability of the holding target lottery varies depending on the game content of the symbol variation game that is the target of the expected effect. Specifically, if the symbol variation game that is the target of the expected effect is a big hit game content, it is put on hold so that it is easier to win than the case where the symbol variation game that is the target of the expected effect is out of date The winning probability of the target lottery is defined. In addition, even if the game content is a game that causes the symbol variation game to be the target of the expected effect, the winning game is more effective than the case where the specific effect is not executed. The winning probability of the lottery to be held is determined so that it is easy to do.

  Incidentally, when the prefetch information corresponding to the symbol variation game that is the target of the expected effect is the prefetch information that can specify the prefetch command SC1, the effect control CPU 31a determines that the game content of the symbol variation game that is the target of the expected effect is “ It is specified that the game content is “out of play without executing a specific performance”. In addition, when the prefetch information corresponding to the symbol variation game that is the target of the expected effect is the prefetch information that can specify the prefetch command SC2, the effect control CPU 31a determines that the game content of the symbol variation game that is the target of the expected effect is “ It is specified that the game content is “out of play when the specific performance is executed”. Further, when the pre-read information corresponding to the symbol variation game that is the target of the expected effect is the pre-read information that can specify the pre-read command SC3, the effect control CPU 31a determines that the game content of the symbol variation game that is the target of the expected effect is “ It is specified that the game content is a big hit.

  Then, when the lottery to be held is won, the effect control CPU 31a displays in the effect control RAM 31c executed information indicating that the expected effect has already been executed for the symbol variation game for which execution is suspended. Remember.

  In addition, when the effect control CPU 31a determines to execute the expected effect for the symbol variation game for which execution is suspended, it is determined whether the expected effect is executed in either the first effect mode or the second effect mode. To decide.

  When the first effect mode is determined, the effect control CPU 31a determines the type of the pre-effect image to be displayed in the effect area Er with a probability corresponding to the game content of the symbol variation game that is the target of the expected effect. At this time, the effect control CPU 31a determines the pre-effect image with a probability corresponding to the game content of the symbol variation game that is the target of the expected effect from the pre-effect image Era, the pre-effect image Erb, and the pre-effect image Erc. .

  When the second effect mode is determined, the effect control CPU 31a determines the upper limit of the stage that can be reached with a probability corresponding to the game content of the symbol variation game that is the target of the expected effect. At this time, the effect control CPU 31a determines the upper limit of the stages that can be reached with a probability corresponding to the game content of the symbol variation game as the target of the expected effects from the stages Ta0 to Ta9.

  In addition, when the lottery to be held is won, the effect control CPU 31a performs a preliminary light emission lottery as to whether or not to perform a preliminary light emission effect. When the pre-flash lottery is won, it is determined to execute the pre-flash effect that is performed by causing the effect lamp Lb to emit light. On the other hand, when the pre-flash lottery is not won, it is not determined to execute the pre-flash effect.

  When the pre-flash lottery is won, the effect control CPU 31a determines the number of sphere images YK to be displayed on the effect display device 11. Specifically, the effect control CPU 31a determines one of displaying only one sphere image YK and displaying a plurality of sphere images YK in accordance with the light emission of the effect lamp Lb in the pre-light emission effect. .

  When it is determined that one sphere image YK is to be displayed, the effect control CPU 31a moves and displays the sphere image YK from the warp route WR to the hold corresponding image H corresponding to the symbol variation game that is the target of the expected effect. Determine the route to be used. For example, when the symbol variation game corresponding to the reserved memory number “3” is the target of the expected effect, the effect control CPU 31a moves and displays the ball image YK from the warp route WR to the hold corresponding image H3 via the route R4. Determine the route to be used.

  In addition, when the execution target lottery and the hold target lottery are not won, the production control CPU 31a performs a gaze lottery to determine whether or not to execute the expected production of the gaze. In the case of winning the gasse lottery, it is decided to execute the expected production of gasse. On the other hand, when the Gase lottery is not won, it is not determined to execute the expected production of Gasse.

  In addition, when the Gasse lottery is won, the effect control CPU 31a moves and displays the sphere image YK from the warp route WR so that the sphere image YK is moved and displayed in a manner that does not enter any of the holding correspondence images H. Determine the route. The effect control CPU 31a determines a route for moving and displaying the spherical image YK so as to move and display any one of the routes R1, R3, R5, R7, and R9 from the warp route WR.

When the execution of the symbol variation game is started, the production control CPU 31a controls the execution of the expected production according to various determination items.
Specifically, when the execution of the pre-lighting effect is determined, the effect control CPU 31a emits the effect lamp Lb until the execution of the symbol variation game targeted for the expected effect ends. The light emission mode is controlled.

  When displaying a plurality of sphere images YK, the effect control CPU 31a displays a plurality of sphere images YK and causes each sphere image YK to flow down along with the light emission of the effect lamp Lb in the pre-light emission effect. 11 display contents are controlled. Further, the effect control CPU 31a displays the effect display device 11 so that one ball image YK enters the entrance Hb of the hold-corresponding image H corresponding to the symbol variation game targeted for the expected effect. Controls the display content of. At this time, the effect control CPU 31a enters all of the sphere images YK other than the sphere image YK displayed in a manner of entering the entrance Hb of the hold correspondence image H into the hold correspondence image H or the holes HL1 and HL2. The display content of the effect display device 11 is controlled so that it is displayed in a mode that does not.

When displaying one sphere image YK, the effect control CPU 31a controls the display content of the effect display device 11 so as to move and display the sphere image YK along the determined route.
When the sphere image YK is displayed in the form of entering the first hole HL1, the effect control CPU 31a controls the display content of the effect display device 11 so as to display the character image CH and the balloon image Ye. At the same time, the effect control CPU 31a controls the display content of the effect display device 11 so that the determined character image is displayed in the character region Mr. In addition, when the sphere image YK is displayed in a manner of entering the second hole HL2, the effect control CPU 31a controls the display content of the effect display device 11 so as to display the character image CH.

  In the case where the ball image YK is displayed in a manner of entering the hold corresponding image H and the execution of the expected effect of the first effect mode is determined, the effect control CPU 31 a The display content of the effect display device 11 is controlled so that the prior effect image in the effect area Er is variably displayed. After that, at the timing before the running symbol variation game is over, the effect control CPU 31a displays the display contents of the effect display device 11 so as to display the pre-effect image in the effect area Er of the hold corresponding image H. Control.

  When the ball image YK is displayed in a manner of entering the hold-corresponding image H and the execution of the expected effect is determined in the second effect mode, the effect control CPU 31a displays the egg image Ta. Thus, the display content of the effect display device 11 is controlled. Thereafter, the effect control CPU 31a changes the color of the egg image Ta in response to the input of the operation signal from the effect button BT until the execution of the symbol variation game that is the target of the expected effect starts. The display content of the effect display device 11 is controlled so as to increase the stage. At this time, the effect control CPU 31a changes the color of the egg image Ta according to the input of the operation signal so as not to exceed the stage determined as the upper limit of the reachable stage. After that, when the execution of the symbol variation game that is the target of the expected effect of the second effect mode is started, the effect control CPU 31a becomes the target of the color (stage) of the displayed egg image Ta. An animal image Dg to be displayed is determined from a plurality of types of animal images Dg according to the game content of the symbol variation game. Then, the effect control CPU 31a controls the display content of the effect display device 11 so as to display the determined type of animal image Dg instead of the displayed egg image Ta.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the effect display device 11 that executes an expected effect functions as an effect executing unit. In the present embodiment, the effect control CPU 31a that controls the display content of the effect display device 11 and controls the execution of the expected effect functions as an expected effect control means. In the present embodiment, the effect control CPU 31a that determines the number of spherical images YK to be displayed functions as effect element adjusting means. In the present embodiment, the sphere image YK moves and is displayed so as to roll in the left-right direction on the passage route, and the plurality of sphere images YK move so as to flow downward from the upper part of the image display unit GH. The displayed effect corresponds to the front effect. Then, the execution of the expected effect of the first effect mode or the second effect mode performed by displaying the sphere image YK in association with the hold corresponding image H corresponds to the derivation of the prior effect result. Further, the execution of the effect (character image CH) performed by displaying the sphere image YK in association with the holes HL1 and HL2 corresponds to the derivation of the variation effect result. Moreover, the prior effect result derived | led-out by execution of the expectation effect of a 1st effect aspect is corresponded to the prior effect result derived | led-out without straddling execution of a symbol variation game. In addition, the preliminary effect result derived by executing the expected effect of the second effect mode corresponds to the preliminary effect result derived across the execution of one or more variable games.

  Here, based on FIGS. 10A to 10E, a display mode when an expected effect is executed for a symbol variation game whose execution is suspended, and an expectation for a symbol variation game being executed. A display mode when an effect is executed will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 10A, it is assumed that one sphere image YK is moved and displayed along the route Rex when the hold correspondence images H1 and H2 are displayed. At this time, when the spherical image YK is moved and displayed at the upper point t1 of the hold corresponding image H2 or the point t2 above the hold corresponding image H1, the ball image YK enters the hold corresponding images H1 and H2. The player expects the possibility of being displayed. At the same time, the player expects the possibility that the ball image YK moves and is displayed to the lottery dish Cra through the points t1 and t2.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 10B, the sphere image YK is moved and displayed along the route Rex1, and the sphere image YK is displayed in a manner of entering the entrance Hb of the holding correspondence image H1. When the execution of the expected effect in the first effect mode is determined, the prior effect image is variably displayed in the effect region Er of the hold-corresponding image H1.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 10 (c), when the pre-effect image Erb is displayed in the effect area Er of the hold-corresponding image H1, the player will win the symbol variation game that is the target of the expected effect. High expectations can be expected.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 10D, it is assumed that the sphere image YK is moved and displayed along the route Rex2, and the sphere image YK is displayed in a manner of entering the first hole HL1.
Then, as shown in FIG. 10E, the character image CH is displayed, the balloon image Ye is displayed, and the “big hit” character image is displayed in the character region Mr. If the character image of “hit” is a character image of a type determined when notifying the player that it will be a big hit, the player will win a big hit by displaying the character image of “hit” I can recognize that.

Next, based on FIGS. 11A to 11D, a display mode when the expected effect of the second effect mode is executed for the symbol variation game whose execution is suspended will be described.
As shown in FIG. 11A, when the hold correspondence images H1 and H2 are displayed, one sphere image YK is moved and displayed along the route Rex3, and the sphere image YK enters the hold correspondence image H1. When the display of the expected effect in the second effect mode is determined, the egg image Ta is displayed. At this time, the color of the egg image Ta is displayed in a color corresponding to the initial stage Ta0.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 11B, when the effect button BT is operated, the color of the egg image Ta changes from the stage Ta0 to the color corresponding to the stage Ta1.
And as shown in FIG.11 (c), when the effect button BT is operated many times until execution of the symbol variation game used as the target of the expected effect of the second effect mode is started. The color of the egg image Ta further changes (in the drawing, “stage Ta5”).

  Further, as shown in FIG. 11D, when the execution of the symbol variation game that is the target of the expected effect of the second effect mode is started, an animal image Dg is displayed instead of the egg image Ta. When the expected effect of the second effect mode is executed, the target symbol variation game is determined from the type of the animal image Dg displayed along with the start of the execution of the target symbol variation game along with the color change of the egg image Ta. The game content can be expected to be advantageous game content for the player.

Next, a display mode when a plurality of spherical images YK are displayed will be described with reference to FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 12 (a), when the effect lamp Lb is emitted, it is expected that the expected effect will be executed for the symbol variation game for which execution is suspended, and a plurality of ball images YK are displayed. Can raise the expectation of being done.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 12 (b), when a plurality of sphere images YK are displayed so as to flow down from the upper part of the image display unit GH, the player can select one of the displayed hold correspondence images H1 and H2. Attention is paid to which hold-corresponding image is displayed in such a manner that the sphere image YK enters the ball.

  As shown in FIG. 12C, it is assumed that the sphere image YK is displayed in a manner of entering the entrance Hb of the hold corresponding image H2 along the route Rex4. At this time, when the execution of the expected effect in the first effect mode is determined, the prior effect image of the effect region Er of the hold-corresponding image H2 is displayed in a varying manner.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 12 (d), when the pre-effect image Erc is displayed in the effect area Er of the hold-corresponding image H2, the player can win the symbol variation game that is the target of the expected effect. Recognize

As described above in detail, the present embodiment has the following effects.
(1) Whether the expectation effect is executed for a symbol variation game (fluctuation game) whose execution has been suspended or the expectation effect is executed for a symbol variation game being executed, It is suggested that the sphere image YK is moved and displayed, and is displayed in a manner of entering the hold corresponding image H or the holes HL1 and HL2. For this reason, even when an expected effect is being performed for a running symbol variation game, it may be expected that the expected effect is being performed for a symbol variation game for which execution has been suspended. it can. Moreover, even if the expected effect is performed for the symbol variation game that is suspended, it can be expected that the expected effect is performed for the symbol variation game being executed. . As a result, an opportunity to expect that the expected effect is being performed for the symbol variation game that is suspended, and an opportunity to expect that the expected effect is being performed for the symbol variation game that is being executed And can increase the interest of the player.

  In this way, the expected performance is performed in such a way that both future events (game content of the symbol variation game for which execution is suspended) and current events (game content of the variation game being executed) can be expected. Therefore, the interest can be improved without getting the player bored.

  (2) When the expected effect is executed for the symbol variation game for which execution is suspended, the ball image YK as the effect element is displayed (associated with display) in a manner of entering the hold corresponding image H. The On the other hand, when the expected effect is executed for the currently running symbol variation game, the ball image YK is displayed in a manner of entering the holes HL1 and HL2 (variation corresponding images). For this reason, when the ball image YK is moved and displayed (during the execution of the front effect), it is indicated to the player which of the halls HL1 and HL2 of the lottery dish Cra and the hold corresponding image H is displayed. Attract attention, entertain the expected production, and improve the interest.

  (3) In the case where the ball image YK is displayed in a manner in which the ball image YK enters the hold corresponding image H, the result is derived without straddling the symbol variation game (variation game) (expected effect of the first effect mode) And a case where a result is derived across the symbol variation game (expected effect of the second effect mode). In this way, even when the expected effect is executed for the symbol variation game whose execution is suspended, by increasing the variation from which the result based on the game contents of the target symbol variation game is derived, The interest can be improved in various aspects.

  (4) After the egg image Ta is displayed by displaying the ball image YK in the manner that the ball image YK enters the hold-corresponding image H, the color of the egg image Ta is operated by operating the effect button BT as the operation means. There is a possibility that (the contents of the pre-production results) will change. For this reason, it is possible to give the player the pleasure of operating the effect button BT, and the entertainment can be further improved.

  (5) One or more spherical images YK as effect elements may be displayed. When a large number of sphere images YK are displayed, the possibility that the sphere image YK is displayed in a manner in which the sphere image YK enters the hold correspondence image H (the possibility that the sphere image YK is displayed in association) is high. Can be further improved.

  (6) When the sphere image YK is displayed in the manner in which the sphere image YK enters the hold-corresponding image H, the target symbol variation game is more than in the case where the sphere image YK is not displayed in the manner in which the sphere image YK enters the hold-corresponding image H. It was configured to increase the expectation for a big hit. Thereby, the player expects that the ball image YK will be displayed in the manner in which the ball image YK enters the hold corresponding image H, and improves the interest when the expected effect is performed.
