The main board 100 includes random number generation means 210, normal lottery means 220, normal display control means 222, normal accessory control means 224, special lottery means 230, special display control means 240, game state transition control means 250, and special game execution. Means 260 , small winning game execution means 262 , payout control means 270 , communication control means 280 and main memory 290 are included.

The random number generating means 210 is a means for generating random numbers for lottery, and is implemented by a random number generator for generating hardware random numbers or a program for generating software random numbers. A software random number can be generated, for example, based on the count value of an increment counter (a counter that counts numerical values so as to cycle through a predetermined count range). In the present embodiment, "random value" includes not only a value that is generated randomly in a mathematical sense, but also a value that is substantially generated even if the value itself is generated regularly because the acquisition timing is irregular. contains values that can act as random numbers.

The ordinary lottery means 220 obtains a random number for ordinary lottery from the random number generation means 210 based on the detection signal input from the passage gate sensor 104 for detecting game balls passing through the passage gate 39 one by one. A normal lottery is carried out to determine whether or not a normal win is possible with respect to the normal lottery random numbers stored in the normal random number storage means 2912 of the main memory 290 and read out from the normal random number storage means 2912 .

Specifically, the ordinary random number storage means 2912 is provided with four ordinary reserved storage areas, ordinary reserved storage area 1 to ordinary reserved storage area 4, as storage areas for storing acquired random numbers for ordinary lottery. One ordinary reserved storage area is provided as a storage area for storing random numbers for ordinary lottery read out from the area 1 and performing an ordinary lottery until the fluctuation display and stop display of the ordinary symbols are completed. Then, when the ordinary lottery means 220 acquires the random number for the ordinary lottery from the random number generating means 210, the random number for the ordinary lottery is not stored in any of the ordinary reservation storage areas 1 to 4. The normal lottery random number value obtained is first stored in the normal reservation storage area 1.例文帳に追加When the normal lottery random number value is stored in the normal reserve storage area 1, the normal symbol is not being displayed in a variable or stopped state, that is, the normal lottery random number value is not stored in the normal reserve storage area. , When the control to open the movable member 54 of the ordinary accessory 55 is not being executed, the random number for the ordinary lottery is immediately read out from the ordinary reservation storage area 1, the ordinary lottery is performed, and the ordinary lottery is performed. A random number value is stored in the normal reserved storage area. On the other hand, execution of control to open the movable member 54 of the normal accessory 55 whether the normal pattern is being displayed in a variable manner or is being stopped, that is, whether the random number for the normal lottery is stored in the normal reservation storage area. If it is in the middle, the normal lottery random number value is reserved in the normal reservation storage area 1.例文帳に追加

When the normal lottery random number value is reserved in the normal reservation storage area 1 and the detection signal is further input from the passage gate sensor 104 and the normal lottery random number value is obtained, the normal lottery means 220 , on the condition that the number of ordinary lottery random numbers reserved in the ordinary reserved storage area 1 to ordinary reserved storage area 4 is less than 4, that is, on the condition that the number of ordinary reservations is less than 4, The random number for the ordinary lottery is stored in the ordinary reserved storage area, which is the ordinary reserved storage area in which the random number for the ordinary lottery is not reserved among the ordinary reserved storage area 1 to the ordinary reserved storage area 4 and has the smallest ordinal number.

When the normal symbol fluctuation display and stop display are completed, the normal lottery means 220 erases the normal lottery random number value stored in the normal reservation storage area, and the normal lottery random number value is stored in the normal reservation storage area 1. When it is reserved, on the condition that the control to open the movable member 54 of the normal accessory 55 is not being executed, the random number for the normal lottery is read out from the normal reservation storage area 1 to perform the normal lottery, A random number for ordinary lottery used in ordinary lottery is stored in the ordinary reserved storage area. Here, when the random number for the ordinary lottery remains after the ordinary reserved storage area 2, the remaining random number for the ordinary lottery is stored in the ordinary reserved storage area whose ordinal number is one smaller than the original ordinary reserved storage area. move to For example, when the normal lottery random number remains in the normal reservation storage area 2-3, it is moved to the normal reservation storage area 1-2.

Thus, in the ordinary random number storage means 2912, up to one ordinary lottery random number for which the ordinary lottery has been conducted is reserved in the ordinary reserved storage area, and the ordinary lottery random number for which the ordinary lottery has not been conducted is normally reserved. In area 1 to normal reserved storage area 4, up to 4 items are reserved.

Below, the details of the ordinary lottery will be described. The normal lottery means 220 performs normal winning determination processing, normal variation pattern determination processing, etc. as the normal lottery.

The normal hit determination process is a process of determining the propriety of the normal hit. In the normal win determination process, the normal lottery means 220 refers to which normal lottery table among a plurality of kinds of normal lottery tables stored in the lottery table storage means 2910 of the main memory 290 to perform the random number determination process. is determined according to the game state.

In the gaming machine of this embodiment, a normal lottery table A and a normal lottery table B are stored in the lottery table storage means 2910. In each normal lottery table, 100 normal lottery random numbers from 0 to 99 are On the other hand, normal wins or loses are associated. Specifically, in the ordinary lottery table A, the correspondence relationship between the ordinary winning or losing and a plurality of random numbers is set so that the ordinary winning is won with a probability of about 13/20. A correspondence relation between a normal win or a loss and a random number for a normal lottery of 0 to 99 is set so that a normal win is won with a probability of 20. - 特許庁The normal lottery means 220 selects the normal lottery table A when the game state is the normal state or the special state, and selects the normal lottery table B when the game state is the probability variable state or the time saving state. .

Then, the normal lottery means 220 refers to the selected normal lottery table and determines whether or not one random number for normal lottery read out from the normal reservation storage area 1 of the normal random number storage means 2912 is associated with a normal win. By judging, it is judged whether or not a normal win is won.

Then, the normal lottery means 220 sets the winning flag for the normal winning to ON state in the flag storage means 2916 of the main memory 290 when the normal winning is won, and when the winning is lost, the normal winning is won. Set the flag to the OFF state.

The normal variation pattern determination process is a process of determining which of a plurality of variation patterns the normal symbol variation pattern is to be set according to the game state. In the normal variation pattern determination process, the normal lottery means 220 determines the variation pattern of the normal symbols to be the normal variation pattern 1 when the game state is the normal state or the special state, and the game state is the probability variable state or the time saving state. In some cases, the variation pattern of the normal design is determined as the normal variation pattern 2. - 特許庁

The normal display control means 222 is means for controlling the state display driving device 120 based on the lottery result of the normal lottery, and performs normal symbol display control processing and normal reserved display control processing.

In the normal symbol display control process, the normal display control means 222 blinks the two lamps of the normal symbol display part 72 until the variation time corresponding to the normal symbol variation pattern determined in the normal variation pattern determination process elapses. Thus, the normal symbols are variably displayed, and the normal symbols are stopped and displayed by lighting or extinguishing the two lamps of the normal symbol display part 72 according to whether or not the normal winning is won in the normal winning decision processing. , the normal symbol display part 72 is caused to display the result of the normal lottery.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the first special random number value is lost, in the normal state, the larger the holding number of the first special random number value is, the shorter the variation time is set as the first special symbol variation time. Therefore, the frequency with which the opportunity to execute the special lottery comes can be increased. Furthermore, in the variable probability state, the special state or the time saving state, regardless of the number of reservations of the first special random number value, an extremely short fluctuation time is often set as the fluctuation time of the first special symbol, so the special lottery execution trigger can arrive very frequently.

On the other hand, with respect to the second special random number value, when it is lost, in the normal state, regardless of the number of reservations of the second special random number value, an extremely long variation time is set as the variation time of the second special symbol. is increased, the frequency of triggering the execution of the special lottery can be made extremely low. On the other hand, in the probability variable state, the special state or the time saving state, the more the number of reservations of the second special random number increases, the more often an extremely short variation time is set as the variation time of the second special symbol, so the execution trigger of the special lottery. can arrive very frequently.

Also, when it becomes a small hit, regardless of whether it is the first special random number value or the second special random number value, and regardless of the number of reservations, in the first half variation pattern determination process, as shown in FIG. 9 (C) With reference to the small winning first half variation pattern lottery table shown, it is determined that there is no first half variation pattern in which the variation time is set to 0 seconds, and in the second half variation pattern determination process, the second half of the small winning time shown in FIG. 11 (F) A fluctuation pattern lottery table is referred to, and a no-reach fluctuation pattern 1 whose fluctuation time is set to 1 second is determined.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, when a small hit is achieved, regardless of the number of reservations, a very short variation time is set as the variation time of the first special symbol or the second special symbol, so the special lottery execution opportunity is It can arrive very frequently.

Also, as described above, the special lottery means 230, when the first special symbol or the second special symbol is not being displayed in a variable manner, the game state is not the special game state, and the small winning game is not being executed, the special random number The first special random number value or the second special random number value is read out from the storage means 2914, and special lottery such as jackpot determination processing, symbol determination processing, variation group determination processing, first half variation pattern determination processing and second half variation pattern determination processing is performed. , When storing the first special random number value or the second special random number value in the special random number storage means 2914, the prior judgment processing includes jackpot determination processing, symbol determination processing, variation group determination processing, first half variation pattern determination processing, and second half variation. Pattern determination processing and the like are performed (preliminary determination means).

Specifically, the special lottery means 230 (preliminary determination means) generates a special lottery random number from the random number generation means 210 based on the detection signal input from the first start prize winning opening sensor 106 or the second start winning opening sensor 108. After acquiring the numerical value, before storing it as the first special random number in any of the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4, or before storing it in the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4, according to the game state and the number of reservations at that time, the first special random number value or the second special random number value is subjected to a jackpot determination process and a symbol determination process as prior determination processing. processing, variation group determination processing, first half variation pattern determination processing, second half variation pattern determination processing, and the like.

Then, the special lottery means 230, the pre-determination results including the respective results of the jackpot determination process, symbol determination process, variation group determination process, first half variation pattern determination process and second half variation pattern determination process as the pre-determination process, the pre-determination process Either the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4, or the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special random number 2 Special reservation storage area 4.

The special display control means 240 is a means for controlling the state display driving device 120 based on the lottery result of the special lottery, and is a first special symbol display control process, a second special symbol display control process, and a first special reservation display control. process, the second special hold display control process is performed.

The first special symbol display control process is a process performed when the first special random number value is read out from the first special reservation storage area 1 and a special lottery is performed, and the special display control means 240 performs the first half fluctuation. Until the total variation time of the variation time corresponding to the first half variation pattern determined in the pattern determination process and the variation time corresponding to the second half variation pattern determined in the second half variation pattern determination process passes, the first special symbol display unit After the first special pattern is variably displayed by flickering the 7-segment display 76, the 1st special pattern is stopped and displayed by lighting the 7-segment display of the first special pattern display part 76 in a prescribed manner.

In this embodiment, the display mode of the 7-segment display is predetermined corresponding to each of 15 types of jackpot symbols, small wins and losses, and the special display control means 240 selects the jackpot or small win in the jackpot determination process. The 7-segment display of the first special pattern display part 76 is displayed in a mode corresponding to whether or not the player wins the prize, and in a mode corresponding to the jackpot pattern determined in the pattern deciding process when the jackpot is won in the jackpot deciding process. The first special symbol is stopped and displayed by lighting it, and the result of the special lottery is displayed on the first special symbol display part 76. - 特許庁

The second special symbol display control process is a process performed when the second special random number value is read out from the second special reservation storage area 1 and a special lottery is performed. Until the total variation time of the variation time corresponding to the first half variation pattern determined in the pattern determination process and the variation time corresponding to the second half variation pattern determined in the second half variation pattern determination process passes, the second special symbol display unit After the second special pattern is variably displayed by flickering the 7-segment display of 80, the 7-segment display of the second special pattern display part 80 is lit in a prescribed manner to stop and display the second special pattern.

Then, the special display control means 240 is arranged in a manner corresponding to whether or not a big win or a small win is won in the big win determination process, and if a big win is won in the big win determination process, the special display control means 240 displays the big win symbol determined in the symbol determination process. The 7-segment display of the second special symbol display part 80 is turned on in a corresponding manner to stop and display the second special symbol, and the result of the special lottery is displayed on the second special symbol display part 80.例文帳に追加

In the first special pending display control process, the special display control means 240 lights the two lamps of the first special pending display section 78 according to the number of the first special random number values stored in the special random number storage means 2914. Or 0 to 4 first special reserved numbers are displayed by a combination of extinguishing or blinking.

In the second special pending display control process, the special display control means 240 turns on the two lamps of the second special pending display section 82 according to the number of the second special random number values stored in the special random number storage means 2914. Alternatively, 0 to 4 second special reserved numbers are displayed by a combination of extinguishing or blinking.

Game state transition control means 250, as shown in FIG. 12, based on the establishment of a predetermined transition condition, through the special game state, normal state, variable probability state, special state, the game state between the time-saving state. A game state transition control process for shifting is performed.

The normal state is a game state corresponding to the initial state among a plurality of types of game states, and when a special lottery in the normal state wins a jackpot, the game is shifted to a special game state. Then, in the normal state, as shown in FIG. The opening time of the object 55 is set to 3 seconds, making it more difficult for the game ball to enter the second start winning opening 53 than in the variable probability state and the time saving state.

As for the special lottery, the probability of winning the jackpot is set as low as about 1/315, and the variation time of the first special symbol is the variation time according to the number of reservations, while the variation time of the second special symbol is 591 seconds. Therefore, the normal state is a game state in which it is more advantageous for the player to hit left so that the game ball enters the first start winning hole 46 .

The special game state is started based on winning the jackpot in the special lottery in the normal state, variable probability state, special state, and time saving state, and the number of rounds (number of executions) predetermined according to the type of jackpot pattern. When the game (specific game) is executed, it ends.

Specifically, when the special game state is started based on the fact that any of the 16 round probability variation pattern A to 16 round probability variation pattern K and the 16 round normal pattern A to 16 round normal pattern B are won in the special lottery, The special game state ends on condition that 16 rounds of the special game from the 1st round to the 16th round are executed.

In addition, when the special game state is started based on the winning of the 2 round probability variable pattern or the 2 round normal pattern in the special lottery, the condition is that the 2 round special game of the 1st round to the 2nd round is executed. The special game state ends at .

The probability variation state is 16 rounds probability variation pattern A to 16 rounds probability variation pattern D, 16 rounds probability variation pattern F to 16 rounds probability variation pattern K, 2 rounds probability variation pattern The special game state started based on winning It is started when the game is played, and when a big hit is won in a special lottery in the variable probability state, the game is shifted to a special game state. And in the variable probability state, as shown in FIG. 3 (B), etc., for the normal lottery, the winning probability of the normal winning is set to about 19/20, and the normal symbol fluctuation time is set to 0.5 seconds. The opening time of the normal role product 55 is set to 5 seconds, and the normal role product 55 is controlled to the open state more frequently and for a longer period than in the normal state and the special state. The passage gate 48 is provided so that the game ball falling in the game area 4 on the right side of the liquid crystal display 32 passes through the passage gate 48 with a high probability as described above. Since it is provided so that the game ball that has passed through the passage gate 48 reaches within 5 seconds, most of the game balls that fall in the game area 4 on the right side of the liquid crystal display 32 are in the second start winning opening 53 in the variable probability state. to enter the

And for the special lottery, the winning probability of the jackpot is set as high as about 1/50, and the fluctuation time of the first special pattern and the second special pattern is often extremely short, 1 to 2 seconds, so the probability variable state is , the game state is such that it is more advantageous for the player to hit the game ball to the right so that the game ball enters the second start winning hole 53.例文帳に追加In the variable probability state, the probability of winning a small win in the special lottery is set to about 1/2, but most of the game balls passing through the right passage 52 enter the second start winning opening 53, so Even if a winning game is executed, the game ball hardly enters the second big winning hole 56.例文帳に追加

Moreover, the variable probability state ends on the condition that the number of times the special lottery is performed in the variable probability state reaches a predetermined specified number of times, and is shifted to a special state. Specifically, in this embodiment, the specified number of times is 100 times, 80 times, 60 times, 40 times, 20 times or 1 time for each of the 16 round probability variation pattern A to 16 round probability variation pattern K and the 2 round probability variation pattern. Either is predetermined, and when the special game state started based on the winning of each probability variation symbol ends, the game state transition control means 250 corresponds to the specified number of times corresponding to each probability variation symbol ( For example, 80) is written in the specified number counter 2930 of the main memory 290 . Then, every time a special lottery is performed in the variable probability state, a decrement update is performed by subtracting a value (for example, 1) corresponding to the number of times of one game from the stored value of the specified number of times counter 2930, and the stored value of the specified number of times counter 2930 is Reaching a threshold (eg, 0) terminates the variable state and initiates the special state.

The special state is triggered by the end of the special game state started based on the number of times the special lottery is performed in the variable probability state reaches the specified number of times, or the winning of the 16 round probability variable symbol E. When a jackpot is won in a special lottery in a special state, the state is shifted to a special game state. In the special state, as shown in FIG. 3(B), etc., for the normal lottery, the winning probability of the normal winning is set to about 13/20, and the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is 2 seconds, as in the normal state. , and the opening time of the normal role 55 is set to 3 seconds, and the normal role 55 is controlled to the open state less frequently and for a shorter period than the variable probability state and the short time state, so the liquid crystal display 32 Of the game balls falling in the right game area 4, the number of game balls passing through the right passage 52 without entering the second start winning opening 53 increases, but if the right hitting is continued, the reserved second The game balls enter the second start winning hole 53 to such an extent that the 2 special random numbers do not disappear.

As for the special lottery, unlike the normal state, the probability of winning the jackpot is set as high as about 1/50, and the fluctuation time of the first special pattern and the second special pattern is extremely short, 1 to 2 seconds. In addition, the winning probability of the small prize is set extremely high as about 1/2, and the small prize game is frequently executed, so the game passes through the right passage 52 without entering the second start prize winning port 53. It is easy for the ball to enter the second big winning hole 56.例文帳に追加Therefore, the special state is a game state in which it is more advantageous for the player to hit the game ball to the right so that the game ball enters the second big winning hole 56 .

In addition, if the special state is started when the number of times the special lottery is performed in the probability variable state reaches the specified number of times, the number of times the special lottery is performed in the probability variable state and the special state is preliminarily set as the probability variable number It ends on the condition that it reaches the predetermined 10000 times, and on the other hand, when it is started when the special game state ends, the number of times the special lottery is performed in the special state is predetermined as the probability variable number. 10,000 times is reached, and the state is shifted to the normal state. Specifically, the game state transition control means 250, when shifting the game state to the probability variable state after the end of the special game state, or when shifting the game state to the special state after the end of the special game state, the main memory 290 A value corresponding to 10000 times (for example, 10000) is written as a specified number of times in the probability variable number counter 2931, and each time a special lottery is performed in the probability variable number counter 2931, the stored value of the probability variable number counter 2931 corresponds to the number of games for one time. Perform a decrement update that subtracts the value (eg, 1) to be used. And when the stored value of the probability variable number counter 2931 reaches a threshold value (for example, 0), the special state is terminated and the normal state is started. However, in the special state, the probability of winning the jackpot in the special lottery is set to about 1/50. Most of the time the state is started, and it is almost impossible to transition from the special state to the normal state. That is, the special state is substantially continued until the jackpot is won.

The time saving state is started when the special game state started based on the winning of one of the 16 rounds normal symbol A to 16 rounds normal symbol B, and the 2nd round normal symbol has ended. When a jackpot is won in a lottery, the game is shifted to a special game state. And in the time-saving state, as shown in FIG. 3(B), etc., for the normal lottery, the winning probability of the normal winning is set to about 19/20, and the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is 0.00. Since the time is set to 5 seconds and the opening time of the normal accessory 55 is set to 5 seconds, most of the game balls falling in the game area 4 on the right side of the liquid crystal display 32 enter the second start winning opening 53. It has become.

As for the special lottery, although the probability of winning the jackpot is set as low as about 1/315, the fluctuation time of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is often extremely short, 1 to 2 seconds. The time-saving state is a game state in which it is more advantageous for the player to hit the game ball to the right so that the game ball enters the second start winning hole 53.例文帳に追加In the time-saving state, the probability of winning a small prize for the special lottery is set to about 1/5, but most of the game balls passing through the right passage 52 enter the second start winning opening 53, so Even if a winning game is executed, the game ball hardly enters the second big winning hole 56.例文帳に追加

Moreover, the time saving state ends on the condition that the number of times the special lottery is performed in the time saving state reaches a predetermined specified number of times, and the state is shifted to the normal state. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the prescribed number of times for the 16-round normal pattern A is predetermined to be 80 times, and the prescribed number of times for the 16-round normal pattern B is predetermined to be 60 times, and each normal pattern has been elected. When the special game state started based on ends, the game state transition control means 250 writes a value (for example, 80) corresponding to the specified number of times corresponding to each normal symbol into the specified number counter 2930 . Then, every time a special lottery is performed in the time saving state, a decrement update is performed by subtracting a value (for example, 1) corresponding to the number of games for one time from the stored value of the specified number of times counter 2930, and the stored value of the specified number of times counter 2930 Reaching a threshold (eg, 0) terminates the time saving state and initiates the normal state.

The special game executing means 260 is means for executing a special game based on the lottery result of the special lottery, and performs special game execution processing 1 to special game execution processing 4 and the like.

A special game execution process 1 is executed based on the fact that one of the 16 round probability variation pattern A to 16 round probability variation pattern K and the 16 round normal pattern A to 16 round normal pattern B is won in the special lottery, and special game execution means. 260 sets a value (e.g., 16) corresponding to 16 times, which is a predetermined number of rounds for 16 round probability variable symbols and 16 round normal symbols, as the upper limit value of the round counter 2933 of the main memory 290, and in each round Each time the first special role product 51 completes the operation in a predetermined manner, the stored value of the round counter 2933 is incremented by adding a value (eg, 1) corresponding to the number of rounds for one round. When the stored value of the round counter 2933 reaches the upper limit (for example, 16), the special game state ends.

Specifically, in the special game execution process 1, the opening timer 2934 of the main memory 290 counts 29 seconds after the first special accessory 51 is opened in the special game of each round from the 1st round to the 16th round. Alternatively, when the first big winning hole sensor 110 detects the entry of one game ball, the value (for example, 1) corresponding to one game ball is added to the value of the big winning number counter 2936, which is the upper limit value. When reaching (for example, 10), drive control of the first special accessory driving device 124 is performed so that the first special accessory 51 is closed. Then, "1" is added to the value of the round counter 2933 assuming that the end condition for one round is satisfied.

The special game execution process 2 is executed based on the fact that the 2 round probability variation pattern or the 2 round normal pattern is won in the special lottery, and the special game execution means 260 sets the 2 round probability variation pattern and 2 rounds as the upper limit value of the round counter 2933. A value (e.g., 2) corresponding to a predetermined number of rounds for the normal symbol is set, and each time the first special accessory 51 completes the operation in a predetermined manner in each round, a round is performed. Increment update is performed by adding a value (for example, 1) corresponding to the number of rounds for one round to the value stored in the counter 2933 . When the stored value of the round counter 2933 reaches the upper limit (for example, 2), the special game state ends.

Specifically, in the special game execution process 2, in the special game of each round from the first round to the second round, the opening timer 2934 counts 29 seconds after the first special accessory 51 is opened, or When the value of the prize number counter 2936 reaches the upper limit (for example, 10), drive control of the first special accessory drive device 124 is performed so that the first special accessory 51 is closed. Then, "1" is added to the value of the round counter 2933 assuming that the end condition for one round is satisfied.

The small winning game execution means 262 is a means for executing a small winning game based on the winning of a small winning in the special lottery, and performs small winning game execution processing 1 to small winning game execution processing 2 and the like.

The small winning game execution processing 1 is executed based on the winning of the small winning symbol A in the special lottery. The second special accessory driving device 126 is operated so that the second special accessory 57 is closed when 1.8 seconds have passed since the second special accessory 57 was opened with the start of the winning game. Drive control.

Then, when the second big winning hole sensor 112 detects the entry of one game ball, a value (for example, 1) corresponding to one game ball is added to the value of the big winning number counter 2936, and the second special When the accessory 57 completes the operation by the small winning game execution process 1 or the value of the large winning number counter 2936 reaches the upper limit value (for example, 10), it is assumed that the end condition of the small winning game of one round is satisfied. , to end the small winning game.

The small winning game execution processing 2 is executed based on the winning of the small winning symbol B in the special lottery. The second special accessory driving device 126 is operated so that the second special accessory 57 is closed when 5.0 seconds have passed since the second special accessory 57 was opened with the start of the winning game. Drive control.

Then, when the second big winning hole sensor 112 detects the entry of one game ball, a value (for example, 1) corresponding to one game ball is added to the value of the big winning number counter 2936, and the second special When the accessory 57 completes the operation by the small winning game execution process 2 or the value of the large winning number counter 2936 reaches the upper limit value (for example, 10), it is assumed that the end condition of the small winning game of one round is satisfied. , to end the small winning game.

The payout control means 270 receives a detection signal from the first starting winning opening sensor 106, a detection signal from the second starting winning opening sensor 108, a detection signal from the first large winning opening sensor 110, and a detection signal from the second large winning opening sensor 112. is input, control is performed to cause the payout device 130 to pay out a number of game balls corresponding to the number of prize balls predetermined for each detection signal. Specifically, the payout control means 270 transmits a command to pay out four game balls to the payout device 130 each time the first start winning hole sensor 106 detects the winning of one game ball, and the second Each time the starting winning hole sensor 108 detects the winning of one game ball, it transmits a command to pay out one game ball to the payout device 130, and the first big winning hole sensor 110 detects one game ball. each time the winning is detected, a command to pay out 15 game balls is transmitted to the payout device 130, and each time the second big winning opening sensor 112 detects the winning of one game ball, the payout device 130 sends a command to pay out 15 game balls.

The payout device 130 pays out the number of game balls instructed by the payout control means 270 . This payout device 130 is provided with a payout motor in a game ball tank for storing game balls, and a payout control means 270 controls the rotation angle of the payout motor to produce the number of game balls as instructed. Discharge from the game ball tank. Also, the payout device 130 is provided with a payout sensor 116 that operates each time one game ball is put out. The number of played game balls can be managed.

The communication control means 280 controls transmission of various commands generated according to various calculation results in the main board 100 to the sub board 102 . In the game machine of this embodiment, between the main board 100 and the sub board 102, only one-way communication from the main board 100 to the sub board 102 is possible, and from the sub board 102 to the main board 100. Connected for communication in such a way that information cannot be transmitted.

Next, the sub-board 102 will be described. The sub-board 102 includes a performance control means 300 and a sub-memory 310 .

The effect control means 300 displays effects based on various commands transmitted from the main substrate 100, input signals from the effect button switches 150, and effect data stored in the effect data storage means 3110 of the sub-memory 310. Control the device 170 to turn on or blink the front frame lamp 12 and the display frame lamp 38, display the effect image on the liquid crystal display 32, control the sound device 172 to output the effect sound from the speaker 14, By controlling the performance device 176 such as by driving the performance driving device 174 to operate the performance product, the performance device 176 is made to perform performance for enlivening the game and assisting the game.

In particular, the effect data storage means 3110 stores a large number of effect image data for displaying images on the liquid crystal display 32, and the effect control means 300 controls one frame (1/1) based on these effect image data. By drawing an image in the frame buffer of the sub-memory 310 every 60 seconds) and displaying the drawn image on the liquid crystal display 32, the liquid crystal display 32 is caused to reproduce and display a moving image.

Then, the effect control means 300 performs state effect processing, special lottery effect processing, pending display effect processing, etc., as processing for causing the effect device 176 to execute the effect.

In the state effect processing, the effect control means 300 operates the character image on the liquid crystal display 32 or changes the background image according to the current game state based on the command corresponding to the game state and the counter value on the main board 100. By changing the effect sound or changing the effect sound output from the speaker 14, an effect suggesting the current game state to the player is executed.

For example, when the current game state is a special state, the effect control means 300 displays an image indicating that the current game state is a special state on the liquid crystal display 32, and the current game state is a probability variable state or In the case of the time-saving state, the liquid crystal display 32 is caused to display an image indicating that the current game state is the variable probability state or the time-saving state.

When the current game state is the special game state, the effect control means 300 indicates on the liquid crystal display 32 that the current game state is the special game state, and the special game of what round is executed. A special game state image (special game effect) indicating whether it is in the middle is displayed.

In the special lottery effect processing, when the preliminary determination processing is performed in the main board 100, the effect control means 300 performs a performance lottery for temporarily determining the effect contents of the special lottery effect based on the command according to the result of the preliminary determination, When a special lottery is performed on the main board 100, a performance lottery for finally determining the performance contents of the special lottery performance is performed based on a command according to the result of the special lottery. Then, in accordance with the variable display and stop display of the first special symbol in the first special symbol display portion 76, or in accordance with the variable display and stop display of the second special symbol in the second special symbol display portion 80, special A lottery performance is executed by a performance device 176.例文帳に追加

Specifically, in the special lottery effect process, the effect control means 300 displays a background image (not shown) on the liquid crystal display 32 as shown in FIG. 350, middle effect pattern 352 and right effect pattern 354 are displayed. And the effect control means 300 reads out the first special random number value from the first special reservation storage area 1, and every time a special lottery is performed, the first special symbol display unit 76 starts to display the first special symbol. or every time the second special random number is read out from the second special reservation storage area 1 and the special lottery is performed, with the start of the variable display of the second special symbol in the second special symbol display unit 80, FIG. As shown in (B), after the left effect pattern 350, the middle effect pattern 352 and the right effect pattern 354 are variably displayed, whether or not the big win is won in the big win determination process in the first special lottery or the second special lottery. and when winning the big prize, the left performance pattern 350, the middle performance pattern 352 and the right performance pattern 354 are stopped and displayed in a manner corresponding to the big winning pattern determined in the pattern determination process. By changing the background image on the liquid crystal display 32 or reproducing and displaying a performance moving image in which the character image moves in a mode corresponding to each type of performance pattern, a special lottery performance corresponding to the type of performance pattern is performed. Executed in the liquid crystal display 32 . Note that the downward arrows in the figure indicate that the left effect pattern 350, the middle effect pattern 352 and the right effect pattern 354 are each being variably displayed at high speed.

Specifically, in the special lottery effect process, the effect control means 300, based on the fact that a command corresponding to the result of the prior determination or the command corresponding to the result of the special lottery is input from the main board 100, sets the random number for the effect lottery. , a first performance pattern determination random value and a second performance pattern determination random value are obtained, and a first performance pattern determination process, a second performance pattern determination process, etc. are performed as a performance lottery.

A first performance pattern determination process determines which of a plurality of types of first half performance patterns the first half performance pattern corresponding to the first half of the special lottery performance should be based on one acquired first performance pattern determination random value. is a process for determining In the first effect pattern determination process, the effect control means 300 refers to any one of the plurality of types of first effect pattern lottery tables stored in the effect lottery table storage means 3112 of the submemory 310 to perform the random number determination process. Whether to perform is selected according to the first half variation pattern determined in the first half variation pattern determination process.

In the gaming machine of this embodiment, the first effect lottery table storage means 3112 stores the first effect in response to the case where the result of the first half variation pattern determination processing in the main substrate 100 is each of the first half variation pattern 1 to the first half variation pattern 9. Nine kinds of first effect pattern lottery tables, pattern lottery table A to first effect pattern lottery table I, are stored (not shown). In each first effect pattern lottery table, each of the 100 first effect pattern determination random numbers from 0 to 99 is associated with one of a plurality of types of first half effect patterns. When the result of the first half variation pattern determination processing is the first half variation pattern 1, the performance control means 300 selects the first performance pattern lottery table A, and the result of the first half variation pattern determination processing is the first half variation pattern 2. In this case, the first effect pattern lottery table B is selected, and so on, the first effect pattern lottery table corresponding to the first half variation pattern determined in the first half variation pattern determination process is selected.

Then, the effect control means 300 refers to the selected first effect pattern lottery table, and determines to which of the plurality of first half effect patterns one first effect pattern determination random number value is associated. One first half performance pattern is determined from a plurality of types of first half performance patterns.

A second performance pattern determination process determines which of a plurality of types of second half performance patterns the second half performance pattern corresponding to the second half of the special lottery performance is selected based on one acquired second performance pattern determination random value. is a process for determining In the second effect pattern determination process, the effect control means 300 determines which of the plurality of second effect pattern lottery tables stored in the effect lottery table storage means 3112 is to be referred to for the random number determination process. Selection is made according to the second half variation pattern determined in the second half variation pattern determination process.

In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the result of the second half variation pattern determination processing in the main board 100 corresponds to each of the non-reach variation pattern 1 to the non-reach variation pattern 3 and the reach variation pattern 1 to the reach variation pattern 5. Eight types of second effect pattern lottery tables, ie, a second effect pattern lottery table A to a second effect pattern lottery table H are stored in the effect lottery table storage means 3112 (not shown). In each second effect pattern lottery table, for each of the 100 second effect pattern determination random numbers of 0 to 99, a plurality of types of non-reach effect patterns (non-win mode) and a plurality of types of non-reach effect patterns as a plurality of types of second half effect patterns are provided. Any one of a plurality of types of ready-to-win effect patterns (common mode) is associated. When the result of the second half variation pattern determination process is the non-reach variation pattern 1, the effect control means 300 selects the second effect pattern lottery table A, and the result of the second half variation pattern determination process is the reach variation pattern 1. If there is, the second effect pattern lottery table D is selected, and so on, the second effect pattern lottery table corresponding to the second half variation pattern determined in the second half variation pattern determination process is selected.

Then, the effect control means 300 refers to the selected second effect pattern lottery table, and one second effect pattern determination random number value is associated with any one of a plurality of types of non-reach effect patterns and a plurality of types of reach effect patterns. One non-reach performance pattern or one ready-reach performance pattern is determined from a plurality of types of non-reach performance patterns and a plurality of types of reach performance patterns.

Here, a performance time is set for each of the plurality of types of first half performance patterns, and the performance time of the first half performance pattern that can be determined by the first performance pattern lottery table A is all the variation time of the first half variation pattern 1. The performance time of the first half performance pattern that is set to the same three seconds and can be determined by the first performance pattern lottery table B is set to five seconds, which is the same as the variation time of the first half variation pattern 2, and so on. The performance time of the first half performance pattern which can be determined by the first performance pattern lottery table is set to be the same as the variation time of the first half variation pattern corresponding to each first performance pattern lottery table.

In addition, the performance time is set for each of the plurality of types of non-reach performance patterns and the plurality of types of reach performance patterns, and the performance time of the plurality of types of non-reach performance patterns that can be determined by the second performance pattern lottery table A is , are all set to 1 second, which is the same as the variation time of the non-reach variation pattern 1, and the performance time of a plurality of kinds of reach performance patterns that can be determined by the second performance pattern lottery table E are all variations of the reach variation pattern 1. The performance time of a plurality of types of non-reach performance patterns or a plurality of types of ready-to-reach performance patterns that can be determined by each second performance pattern lottery table, such as being set to 20 seconds, which is the same as the time, is determined by each second performance pattern lottery. It is set to be the same as the fluctuation time of the no-reach fluctuation pattern or the reach fluctuation pattern corresponding to the table.

In the special lottery effect process, the effect control means 300 performs the special lottery effect in accordance with the start of the variable display of the first special symbol in the first special symbol display unit 76 or the second special symbol in the second special symbol display unit 80. Execution is started, and the total performance time corresponding to the first half performance pattern determined in the first performance pattern determination processing and the performance time corresponding to the second half performance pattern determined in the second performance pattern determination processing, A special lottery production is executed. Thereby, the fluctuation time of the first special symbol in the first special symbol display portion 76 or the second special symbol in the second special symbol display portion 80 is synchronized with the effect time of the special lottery effect.

For example, when the jackpot determination process results in a loss, when the non-reach performance pattern is determined in the second performance pattern determination process, the first special symbol or the second special symbol is displayed in the first special symbol display section 76. Along with the start of the variable display of the second special symbol in the portion 80, as shown in FIG. As shown in C), first, the left effect pattern 350 is temporarily stopped and displayed so as to shake slightly without being completely stopped in one of the modes (the mode showing "5" in FIG. 13(C)), and then , As shown in FIG. 13(D), the right effect pattern 354 is temporarily stopped and displayed in a different mode (non-reach mode) from the left effect pattern 350 .

Then, before the first special symbol in the first special symbol display portion 76 or the second special symbol in the second special symbol display portion 80 is stopped and displayed, as shown in FIG. Temporary stop display is performed in a mode (losing mode) different from the left production pattern 350 and the right production pattern 354, and the first special pattern in the first special pattern display part 76 or the second special pattern in the second special pattern display part 80 is stopped. Almost at the same timing as when it is displayed, as shown in FIG. 13(F), the middle effect pattern 352 is completely stopped in a mode (losing mode) different from the left effect pattern 350 and the right effect pattern 354. Fixed stop is displayed.

Further, for example, when the jackpot is won in the jackpot determination process, or when the jackpot determination process results in a loss, and when the ready-to-win effect pattern is determined in the second effect pattern determination process, the first special symbol display is performed. With the start of the variable display of the first special symbol in the portion 76 or the second special symbol in the second special symbol display portion 80, as shown in FIG. The variable display of the production pattern 354 is started, and as shown in FIG. 14(B), first the left production pattern 350 is temporarily stopped and displayed, and then, as shown in FIG. 14(C), the middle production pattern 352 is variably displayed. The right performance symbol 354 is temporarily stopped and displayed in the same manner as the left performance symbol 350 (ready-to-win mode). Then, as shown in FIG. 14(D), reproduction display of the effect animation corresponding to the determined ready-to-win effect pattern is started, and the first special symbol in the first special symbol display portion 76 or the second special symbol display portion 80 is displayed. The reproduction display of the effect animation is ended within the fluctuation time of the second special symbol in .

Specifically, in the example of FIG. 14(D), in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, a production animation in which the main character A fights the enemy character B is reproduced and displayed. In this case, instead of the left effect pattern 350, the middle effect pattern 352 and the right effect pattern 354 displayed in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, the upper right of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32 corresponds to the left effect pattern 350. A reduced left effect pattern 360, a reduced middle effect pattern 362 corresponding to the middle effect pattern 352, and a reduced right effect pattern 364 corresponding to the right effect pattern 354 are displayed. That is, as shown in FIG. 14(D), the reduced left effect pattern 360 and the reduced right effect pattern 364 are temporarily stopped and displayed in the same mode (reach mode), while the reduced effect pattern 362 is variably displayed.

Then, when the jackpot has been won, as shown in FIG. At the upper right of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, the reduced medium effect pattern 362 is temporarily stopped and displayed in the same mode (jackpot mode) as the reduced left effect pattern 360 and the reduced right effect pattern 364, so that the jackpot is won. The player is tentatively notified.

Then, the effect animation in which the main character A wins over the enemy character B ends, and as shown in FIG. After the symbol 352 and the right effect symbol 354 are displayed, as shown in FIG. 14(G), the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352 and the right effect symbol 354 are confirmed and stopped at the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32. Along with the display, the speaker 14 outputs an effect sound for notifying the player of the winning of the big win, thereby definitely notifying the player of the winning of the big win.

On the other hand, when the jackpot has not been won, as shown in FIG. 14(H), a moving image is reproduced in which the main character A is defeated by the enemy character B in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32. In the upper right of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, the reduction medium effect pattern 362 is temporarily stopped and displayed in a different mode (ready-to-lose mode) from the reduced left effect pattern 360 and the reduced right effect pattern 364, thereby causing a loss. The player is tentatively notified.

Then, the moving image of main character A being defeated by enemy character B ends, and as shown in FIG. After the 352 and the right effect pattern 354 are displayed, as shown in FIG. 14(J), the left effect pattern 350, the middle effect pattern 352 and the right effect pattern 354 are fixed and stopped in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32. By doing so, the player is definitely notified of the loss.

Here, in the special lottery effect processing, a common effect moving image may be played back and displayed in both the case of winning the jackpot and the case of losing, so when the common effect moving image is played back and displayed, It is possible to greatly increase the player's sense of expectation for the winning of the jackpot.

In this way, in this embodiment, the left effect pattern 350, the middle effect pattern 352 and the right effect pattern 354 are changed on the liquid crystal display 32 in the effect pattern corresponding to the variation type of the first special symbol or the second special symbol in the state display device 70. The left performance pattern 350, the middle performance pattern 352 and the right performance pattern 354 are temporarily stopped and displayed in a manner corresponding to the result of the special lottery while heightening the expectation of the player for winning the big prize. After that, the player is notified of the result of the special lottery by displaying the fixed stop display.

In the pending display effect process, the effect control means 300, based on the command corresponding to the first special pending number or the second special pending number in the main substrate 100, the second special random number storage means 2914 reserved in the main memory 290. An image showing the status of the first special random number value or the second special random number value is displayed on the liquid crystal display 32 .

Perform display control to move to a small reserved display area. As a result, the first pending image 420 displayed in the pending display area 430 corresponds to the first special random number value to be the target of this special lottery, and the first pending displayed after the first pending display area 411 The image 420 can indicate that it corresponds to the first special random number value that will be the target of the special lottery from the next time onward.

Then, as shown in FIG. 15(D), when the left effect pattern 350, the middle effect pattern 352 and the right effect pattern 354 are fixed and stopped and the result of this special lottery is displayed, it is stored in the first special holding storage area. The first reserved image 420 displayed in the reserved display area 430 is erased as the first special random number displayed is erased. Further, when the first special random number value is read from the first special reservation storage area 1 and a special lottery is performed, the effect control means 300, although not shown, displays the first reservation displayed in the first reservation display area 411. The image 420 is moved to the reserved display area 430, and the variable display of the left effect pattern 350, the middle effect pattern 352 and the right effect pattern 354 is started and displayed in the second reserved display area 412 and subsequent reserved display areas. Display control is performed to move the first reserved image 420 from the original reserved display area to a reserved display area having an ordinal number smaller by one.

Also, although not shown, in a state in which a plurality of second special random numbers are reserved in the second special reserved storage areas 1 to 4, the second special random numbers from the second special reserved storage area 1 is read and a special lottery is performed and the second special random number value is stored in the second special reservation storage area, the effect control means 300 displays the second reservation image 422 displayed in the first reservation display area 411 is moved to the reserved display area 430, the left production pattern 350, the middle production pattern 352 and the right production pattern 354 are started to be displayed in a variable manner. Display control is performed to move the reserved image 422 from the original reserved display area to a reserved display area whose ordinal number is one smaller. As a result, the second pending image 422 displayed in the pending display area 430 corresponds to the second special random number value that is the target of this special lottery, and the second pending displayed after the first pending display area 411 The image 422 can indicate that it corresponds to the second special random number that will be the target of the special lottery from the next time onward.

In addition, the effect control means 300, according to the preliminary determination result corresponding to the first special random number value or the second special random number value, after the first special random number value or the second special random number value is acquired, the first special random number value Alternatively, for the second special random number, until the fluctuation display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is completed, or after the first special random number or the second special random number is obtained, the first special random number Alternatively, for the first special random number value or the second special random number value acquired immediately before the second special random number value, until the variable display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is completed, the effect device 176 performs a look-ahead effect. to execute. In this embodiment, as the look-ahead effect, for example, the color and shape of the first reserved image 420 or the second reserved image 422 corresponding to the first special random number value or the second special random number value for which execution of the look-ahead effect has been determined change, display an effect image around the first reserved image 420 or the second reserved image 422, display an object image such as a character image, or display a special background image different from the normal background image. or In this embodiment, when the game state is the normal state or the penalty state, the second special random number does not perform the look-ahead effect, and when the game state is the variable probability state, the special state or the time saving state, A look-ahead effect is not performed for the first special random number value.

Here, the performance control means 300 determines whether the result of the jackpot determination process included in the preliminary determination result corresponding to the first special random number value or the second special random number value is that the jackpot has been won, or that the result has been lost. In some cases, the look-ahead effect is performed for the first special random number value or the second special random number value only when the special lottery effect is performed in the ready-to-win effect pattern.

Specifically, in this embodiment, in each of the variation group lottery table A to variation group lottery table G shown in FIG. Each of the decision random values is associated with one of groups 0 to 7 excluding groups 4 and 5, and each of the eight fluctuation group decision random values of 90 to 97 is associated with the group 4 is associated, and each of the two fluctuation group decision random numbers of 98 to 99 is associated with group 5, so if the fluctuation group decision random number is any of 0 to 89 In, depending on the number of holds or the game state, there are cases where the no-reach variation pattern is determined and cases where the reach variation pattern is determined, and the variation group determination random value is any one of 90 to 99. , the reach variation pattern is always determined regardless of the number of reservations or the game state, and the no reach variation pattern is not determined.

Therefore, in this embodiment, when the special lottery means 230 loses in the jackpot determination process performed as the preliminary determination process, the variation group determination random number included in the first special random number or the second special random number Is, if it is any of 0 to 89, set the indefinite value information indicating that the reach fluctuation pattern is determined is indefinite as a pre-determination result, and if it is any of 90 to 99 sets fixed value information indicating that the reach fluctuation pattern is always determined as a pre-determination result.

Then, when the result of the jackpot determination process included in the preliminary determination result is that the jackpot is won, the effect control means 300 determines whether or not to execute the look-ahead effect for the first special random number value or the second special random number value. A pre-reading effect lottery is performed, but if the jackpot is not won, it is determined whether or not the fixed value information is included in the preliminary determination result, and if the fixed value information is included , A pre-reading performance lottery is performed.

As a result, in this embodiment, at the time when the preliminary determination process is performed for the first special random number value or the second special random number value, and at the time when the special lottery is performed for the same first special random number value or the second special random number value, , even if the number of reservations is changed, if a special lottery is performed with respect to the first special random number value or the second special random number value for which execution of the look-ahead effect is determined, the jackpot will be won or the player will lose. Also, a special lottery effect can be executed in a ready-to-win effect pattern.

And the effect control means 300, when the execution of the prefetch effect is determined by the prefetch effect lottery for the first special random number, the first special reservation storage area and the first special reservation storage area 1 to the first special reservation storage Among the first special random number values reserved in the area 4 and obtained prior to the first special random number value for which execution of the look-ahead effect is determined, the first special random number value included in the preliminary determination result The result of the jackpot determination process is the one that won the jackpot, or the result of the jackpot determination process included in the preliminary determination result is the one that is lost, but the preliminary determination result includes fixed value information When there is no first special random number value, the look-ahead performance is started assuming that the condition for starting the look-ahead performance is satisfied.

In addition, when execution of the prefetch effect is determined by the prefetch effect lottery for the second special random number, it is reserved in the second special reservation storage area and the second special reservation storage area 1 to the second special reservation storage area 4. Among the second special random number values obtained prior to the second special random number value for which the execution of the look-ahead effect is determined, the second special random number value included in the preliminary determination result of the jackpot determination process. A second special random number whose result is a jackpot winning result, or a second special random number value whose result of the jackpot determination process included in the preliminary determination result is a loss but whose preliminary determination result includes fixed value information When the special random number does not exist, the look-ahead performance is started on the assumption that the condition for starting the look-ahead performance is satisfied.

As a result, in the present embodiment, at the time when execution of the look-ahead effect is determined for the first special random number value or the second special random number value, the winning of the jackpot for the first special random number number or the second special random number number already reserved is possible. When it is confirmed, when the special lottery effect is executed in the ready-to-win effect pattern, and when it is confirmed that the special lottery effect is executed in the ready-to-win effect pattern, it is executed by the confirmed jackpot. After the special game state is completed, or after the special lottery performance by the ready-to-win performance pattern that is being executed or is confirmed to be executed is completed, the look-ahead performance can be started. .

3. Control Method of this Embodiment Below, the control method of this embodiment will be described in detail. In FIG. 16 (A), each of the 16 round probability variation pattern A to 16 round probability variation pattern E and the 16 round normal pattern A to 16 round normal pattern B that can be won in the special lottery for the first special random number is in the normal state, It is a diagram showing a prescribed number of times determination table A for determining the prescribed number of times after the end of the special game state when winning in each of the variable probability state, the special state and the time saving state.

Also, for the 16 round probability variation pattern E, even if it is elected in any of the normal state, probability variation state, special state and time saving state, it will be transferred to the special state after the special game state is over, so the specified number of times is not determined. .

In addition, for the 16-round normal pattern A, even if it is won in any of the normal state, the variable probability state, the special state and the time saving state, the specified number of times of the time saving state after the end of the special game state is determined to be 80 times. .

In addition, for the 16-round normal pattern B, even if it is won in any of the normal state, the variable probability state, the special state and the time saving state, the specified number of times of the time saving state after the end of the special game state is determined to be 60 times. .

FIG. 16(B) shows 16 round probability variation pattern E to 16 round probability variation pattern K, 2 round probability variation pattern, 16 round normal pattern A to 16 round normal pattern B, 2 that can be won in the special lottery for the second special random number. It is a diagram showing a prescribed number of times determination table B for determining the prescribed number of times after the end of the special game state when each of the round normal symbols wins in each of the normal state, the variable probability state, the special state and the time saving state. .

As shown in FIG. 16 (B), in the prescribed number of times determination table B, for the 16 round probability variation pattern F, when winning in the normal state, probability variation state or time saving state, the probability variation state after the end of the special game state When the stipulated number of times is determined to be 100 times and winning in the special state, the stipulated number of times of the variable probability state after the special game state is terminated is determined to be 60 times.

Also, for the 16 round probability variation pattern G, if you win in the normal state, the specified number of probability variation states after the end of the special game state is determined to be 100 times, and if you win in the probability variation state or time saving state, special The specified number of times of the variable probability state after the end of the game state is determined to be 80 times, and when winning in the special state, the specified number of times of the variable probability state after the end of the special game state is determined to be 60 times.

Also, for the 16 round probability variation pattern H, when winning in the normal state, the specified number of probability variation state after the end of the special game state is determined to 100 times, and when winning in the probability variation state, special state or time saving state , the specified number of times of the variable probability state after the end of the special game state is determined to be 60 times.

Also, for the 16 round probability variation pattern I, if you win in the normal state, the specified number of probability variation states after the end of the special game state is determined to be 100 times, and if you win in the probability variation state or time saving state, special The stipulated number of times in the variable probability state after the end of the game state is determined to be 40 times, but when winning in the special state, the stipulated number of times is not determined because the state is shifted to the special state after the end of the special game state.

Also, for the 16-round probability variation pattern J, when winning in the normal state, the prescribed number of probability variation states after the end of the special game state is determined to 100 times, and when winning in the probability variation state or time saving state, special The stipulated number of times in the variable probability state after the end of the game state is determined as 20 times, but when winning in the special state, the stipulated number of times is not determined because the state is shifted to the special state after the end of the special game state.

Also, for the 16-round probability variation pattern K, if you win in the normal state, the specified number of probability variation states after the end of the special game state is determined to be 100 times, and if you win in the probability variation state or time saving state, special The stipulated number of times in the variable probability state after the end of the game state is determined to be once, but when winning in the special state, the stipulated number of times is not determined because the state is shifted to the special state after the end of the special game state.

Also, for the 16 round probability variation pattern E, even if it is elected in any of the normal state, probability variation state, special state and time saving state, it will be transferred to the special state after the special game state is over, so the specified number of times is not determined. .

As for the 2-round variable probability pattern, the specified number of times of the variable probability state after the end of the special game state is determined to be 60 times regardless of whether the game is won in any of the normal state, the variable probability state, the special state and the time saving state.

In addition, for the 16-round normal pattern A, even if it is won in any of the normal state, the variable probability state, the special state and the time saving state, the specified number of times of the time saving state after the end of the special game state is determined to be 80 times. .

In addition, for the 16-round normal pattern B, even if it is won in any of the normal state, the variable probability state, the special state and the time saving state, the specified number of times of the time saving state after the end of the special game state is determined to be 60 times. .

And in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12, the game state is shifted between the normal state, the probability variable state, the special state, and the time saving state while going through the special game state. Since the normal state, which is the initial state, is a game state in which a left-hand shot is to be performed as described above, a special lottery is basically performed for the first special random number value in the normal state, but a big win is not possible in the normal state. When winning and one of the 16-round definite variable pattern A to 16-round definite variable pattern D is won, the state is shifted to the definite variable state after the special game state ends. And in this case, the prescribed number of times determination table A shown in FIG. Times, 60 times, 40 times or 20 times are set as the specified number of times of the probability variation state.

And the probability variable state is a gaming state in which the right hand should be hit as described above. When the number of times the special lottery is performed reaches the specified number of times according to each probability variation pattern, it is shifted to a special state.

On the other hand, when a jackpot win is won in the normal state and any one of the 16-round normal pattern A to the 16-round normal pattern B is won, after the special game state ends, the state is shifted to the time saving state. In this case, the prescribed number of times determination table A shown in FIG. 16A is referred to, and 80, which is the prescribed number of times when any one of the 16 round normal symbol A to the 16 round normal symbol B is won in the normal state. times or 60 times is set as the prescribed number of times in the time saving state.

And the time-saving state is a gaming state in which a right-hand shot should be performed as described above, and a special lottery is basically performed for the second special random number value in the same way as the variable probability state, and the jackpot is not won in the time-saving state. When the number of times the special lottery is performed reaches the prescribed number of times corresponding to each normal symbol, the state is shifted to the normal state.

And the special state is a game state in which the right hitting should be performed as described above, and a special lottery is basically performed for the second special random number value similarly to the variable probability state and the time saving state, and the small winning game is frequent. Along with being executed, the frequency of controlling the normal role product 55 to the open state is lower than the probability variable state and the time saving state, and the period in which the normal role product 55 is controlled to the open state is also short, so that the second big winning port 56 Since the game balls can easily enter the game ball, the more small wins are won without winning the big win, the more game balls can be acquired by the small win game.

In the special state, when a jackpot is won in the special state and any one of the 16 round probability variable pattern E, the 16 round probability variable pattern I to the 16 round probability variable pattern K is won, the state is shifted to the special state again after the special game state ends. .

On the other hand, when a jackpot is won in the special state and any one of the 16 round probability variable pattern F to the 16 round probability variable pattern H and the 2 round probability variable pattern is won, the state is shifted to the probability variable state after the special game state is finished. And in this case, the specified number of times determination table B shown in FIG. 60 times, which is the specified number of times, is set as the specified number of times of the variable probability state.

In addition, when a jackpot is won in the special state and any one of the 16th round normal pattern A to the 16th round normal pattern B or the 2nd round normal pattern is won, the state is shifted to the time saving state after the end of the special game state. In this case, the specified number of times determination table B shown in FIG. The specified number of times, 80 times or 60 times, is set as the specified number of times in the time saving state.

Thus, in the present embodiment, as long as one of the 16 round probability variation pattern E, 16 round probability variation pattern I to 16 round probability variation pattern K is elected in the special state, the special state and the special game state are repeated, and in the special state, the small hit Depending on the game, many game balls can be acquired by the special game in the special game state.

Here, in this embodiment, in the normal state, if any of the 16 round probability variation pattern A to 16 round probability variation pattern E is elected, and if any of the 16 round normal pattern A to 16 round normal pattern B is elected, special Since a common performance is executed as a lottery performance, from the contents of the special lottery performance, it is determined which of the 16 round probability variation pattern A to 16 round probability variation pattern E and the 16 round normal pattern A to 16 round normal pattern B is won. In addition, in the normal state, if any of the 16 rounds of variable pattern A to 16 rounds of variable pattern E is won, and either of the 16 rounds of normal pattern A to 16 rounds of normal pattern B is won. In the case, since a common effect is executed as a effect in the special game state, it is not possible to determine whether the game state after the special game state is a variable state or a time saving state from the contents of the effect in the special game state. Players cannot distinguish between them. As a result, in the present embodiment, in the case where any of the 16 rounds probability variation pattern A to 16 rounds probability variation pattern E is elected in the normal state and when any of the 16 rounds normal pattern A to 16 rounds normal pattern B is elected, then During or until the special game state is completed, the player's expectation for the transition of the game state to the special state is heightened.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the production in the probability variable state after the end of the special game state started based on the winning of any of the 16 round probability variable symbols A to 16 round probability variable symbols D, and the 16 round normal symbols A to 16 Since the common production is executed as the production in the time saving state after the end of the special game state started based on the winning of one of the round normal symbols B, the content of the production in the probability variable state or the time saving state is different. , the player cannot determine whether the game state after the end of the special game state is the probability variable state or the time saving state. As a result, in this embodiment, in the normal state, if any of the 16 round probability variation patterns A to 16 round probability variation patterns D wins and if any of the 16 round normal patterns A to 16 round normal patterns B wins, special Until the number of special lotteries in the variable probability state or the time saving state after the end of the game state reaches a prescribed number of times, the player's expectation for the shift of the game state to the special state is heightened.

And in this embodiment, in the special lottery effect for the special lottery when the number of times the special lottery has reached the specified number of times in the variable probability state or the time saving state (hereinafter referred to as the specified number of times reached), the character A is displayed on the liquid crystal display 32. A performance image of fighting the character B is displayed, and the player is informed whether the game state shifts to a special state or to a normal state depending on whether the character A wins or loses against the character B.例文帳に追加

Specifically, in this embodiment, either Group 4 or Group 5 is selected for each of 100 variable group determination random numbers from 0 to 99 as a variable group lottery table used in the special lottery that reaches the specified number of times. A corresponding special variation group lottery table is prepared, and in the special lottery reaching the specified number of times, when the big win is not won, the special variation group lottery table is referred to in the variation group determination process, and Group 4 is selected. Alternatively, by determining the group 5, in the second half variation pattern determination process, the reach variation pattern is always determined, and the no reach variation pattern is determined.

Then, when the game state is the probability variable state, an effect informing that the character A wins the character B and the game state shifts to a special state is determined as the effect corresponding to the ready-to-win effect pattern, and the game state is determined. is the time-saving state, a performance for notifying that the character A is defeated by the character B and the game state shifts to the normal state is determined as a performance corresponding to the ready-to-win performance pattern.

As a result, in this embodiment, when the game state is the probability variable state, in the special lottery effect for the special lottery that has reached the specified number of times, the character A wins the character B, and the characters "Get special bonus!" By displaying the effect image in which the image appears, the player is notified that the game state will shift to a special state, and when the game state is a time-saving state, a special lottery for reaching the specified number of times is performed. In the lottery effect, the player is notified that the game state will shift to the normal state by displaying the effect image in which the character A is defeated by the character B.例文帳に追加

In this way, in the present embodiment, except when the jackpot is won in the special lottery in the variable probability state or the time saving state, in the special lottery effect for the special lottery reaching the specified number of times, the game state is changed to a special state or normal An effect is executed to inform the player whether to shift to the state.

And in this embodiment, when the specified number of times in the variable probability state or the time saving state is 80 times or 60 times, over the special lottery effect for the special lottery of 15 times until reaching the specified number of times (specific game section), the specified number of times A premonition performance (specific performance) is executed to increase the expectation for the special lottery performance of the special lottery of the arrival time and the expectation for the transition of the game state to the special state. And in the present embodiment, in the probability variable state or the time saving state, since a short fluctuation time such as 3 seconds to 4 seconds is often set as the fluctuation time of the second special symbol, special lottery production for each special lottery Even if a short performance time such as 3 to 4 seconds is set as the performance time of , there is prepared an omen performance that can be executed.

FIG. 16(A) is a diagram showing the effect contents of the precursor effect executed in each of the special lottery effects for the 15 special lotteries up to the specified number of times. In the present embodiment, when the premonition effect is executed, as shown in FIG. 16A, when the number of times remaining until reaching the specified number of times reaches 15, that is, when the value of the specified number of times counter 2930 reaches 15, Execution of a first half precursor performance (first specific performance), which is the first half of the precursor performance, is started, and a background image displayed on a liquid crystal display 32 is changed to a first half precursor background image showing how the main character is about to fight. Then, in the first half omen effect, the special lottery effect for the special lottery of 12 times until the number of times remaining until reaching the specified number of times reaches 4, that is, until the value of the specified number counter 2930 becomes 4, is applied to the first half omen background image. is displayed, the color of the portent effect image displayed around the main character changes step by step in any of the special lottery performances for the 12 special lotteries.

In the example of FIG. 16(A), no sign effect image is displayed in the special lottery effect for the first to second special lotteries in the first half of the portent effect, and the third to fourth special lotteries in the first half portent effect are not displayed. In the special lottery production, a silver omen effect image is displayed, and in the special lottery production for the fifth special lottery in the first half omen production, a green omen effect image is displayed, and so on. The color of the omen effect image changes gradually.

Here, in the present embodiment, for each of a plurality of types of effects, when each effect is executed, there is a possibility that it will be advantageous to the player, such as winning a jackpot in a special lottery or shifting the game state to a special state. The degree of expectation is predetermined as the degree of . Then, the effect lottery table referred to when it is advantageous to the player so that the probability that the effect with a high degree of expectation is executed when it is advantageous to the player is higher than the effect with a low degree of expectation. In addition, in each of the effect lottery tables that are referred to when there is no advantage to the player, selection rates are set for each of a plurality of types of effects.

In the present embodiment, effect images of four colors of silver, green, red, and gold are prepared for the portent effect images, and expectations are predetermined in the order of silver<green<red<gold. Then, a plurality of types of first half scenario data are prepared which define which color of the portent effect image is to be displayed in which of the special lottery effects for the 12 special lotteries in the first half portent effect.

For example, in the first half scenario data 1, no precursor effect image is associated with each of the first to third times, and a silver precursor effect image is associated with each of the fourth to seventh times. A green predictive effect image is associated with each of the 12th time to the 12th time. In the first half scenario data 2, no predictive effect image is associated with each of the 1st to 2nd times. Each of the rounds is associated with a silver precursor effect image, each of the fifth to eighth rounds is associated with a green precursor effect image, and each of the ninth through twelfth rounds is associated with a red In the first half scenario data of each type, the color of the precursor effect image to be displayed in each of the 12 special lottery special lottery productions in the first half of the precursor production is defined. .

In the first half scenario data of each type, the predictive effect image displayed later should not have lower expectations than the predictive effect image displayed earlier, that is, the predictive effect image displayed earlier should have the same level of expectation. Or, the color of the portent effect image to be displayed in each of the special lottery performances for the 12 special lotteries is determined so that the degree of expectation is higher than the portent effect image displayed first. Among the types of first-half scenario data, the first-half scenario data, in which the degree of expectation for the predictive effect image to be finally displayed is high, has a higher degree of expectation and a lower execution frequency.

Then, as shown in FIG. 16A, when the precursor effect is executed, when the remaining number of times until reaching the prescribed number of times becomes three, that is, when the value of the prescribed counter 2930 becomes 3, the precursor effect is executed. Execution of the latter half precursor effect (second specific effect) is started, and the background image displayed on the liquid crystal display 32 changes to the latter half precursor background image showing the state before the appearance of the enemy character. Then, in the second half omen effect, the special lottery effect for the special lottery three times until the number of times remaining until the prescribed number of times is reached becomes one, that is, until the value of the prescribed number counter 2930 becomes 1, the latter half omen background image is displayed, in each of the special lottery effects for the three special lotteries, one of a plurality of types of appearance effect images for effecting the appearance of the enemy character is displayed in stages.

In the example of FIG. 16A, in the special lottery effect for the first special lottery (13th time in the portent effect) in the second half portent effect, the appearance effect image 2 is displayed, and from the second to the third times in the latter half portent effect. In the special lottery effect for the special lottery (from the 14th to the 15th times in the omen effect), the appearance effect image 3 is displayed, and any one of a plurality of types of appearance effect images is displayed step by step. .

In the present embodiment, six types of appearance effect images, namely appearance effect images 1 to 6, are prepared as appearance effect images, and the order of appearance effect images is 1<2<3<4<5<6. expectations are predetermined. Then, a plurality of kinds of second half scenario data are prepared which define which appearance effect image is to be displayed in which of the special lottery effects for the three special lotteries in the second half portent effect.

For example, in the second half scenario data 1, the appearance effect image 1 corresponds to each of the first to third times, and in the second half scenario data 2, the appearance effect image 1 corresponds to each of the first to second times. In the second half scenario data of each type, the appearance to be displayed in each special lottery effect for the three special lotteries in the latter half of the premonitory effect is associated with the third appearance effect image 2. The types of effect images are specified.

In each type of second-half scenario data, the appearance effect image to be displayed later does not have a lower level of expectation than the appearance effect image to be displayed earlier, that is, the level of expectation is equal to that of the appearance effect image to be displayed earlier. In other words, the type of appearance effect image to be displayed in each of the special lottery effects for the three special lotteries is determined so that the degree of expectation is higher than the appearance effect image displayed first. Among the types of second-half scenario data, the second-half scenario data, in which the expectation for the appearance effect image to be finally displayed is high, has a higher expectation and a lower execution frequency.

In this embodiment, when the premonition effect is executed, when the value of the specified number of times counter 2930 reaches 15, that is, when the first special lottery in the first half premonition effect is performed, one of a plurality of types of first half scenario data is selected. One first-half scenario data is determined, and one second-half scenario data is determined from a plurality of types of second-half scenario data. Here, when the game state is the probability variable state, the first half scenario data and the second half scenario data having higher expectations than the time saving state are likely to be determined.

In the present embodiment, the precursor effect image is displayed in each of the 12 special lottery special lottery productions in the first half precursor production according to the determined first half scenario data, and the second half precursor production is displayed according to the determined second half scenario data. An appearance effect image is displayed in each of the special lottery effects for the three special lotteries in . In the example of FIG. 16A, the first half scenario data 2 and the second half scenario data 4 are determined. Any of the types of appearance effect images are displayed step by step.

Then, as shown in FIG. 16A, when the specified number of times is reached, that is, when the value of the specified number of times counter 2930 becomes 0, as described above, the hero A production image is displayed in which the character fights the enemy character.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the portent effect is executed over the special lottery effect for 15 times of the special lottery until reaching the prescribed number of times. Regarding the special lottery for reaching the specified number of times Although the expectation for the special lottery effect is heightened, the game state shifts to the special game state without reaching the specified number of times, so the omen effect ends in the middle. This may confuse the player or disappoint the player who expects the transition to the special state.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the jackpot is won during execution of the omen effect, the game state is special after the effect of taking over the omen effect is executed according to the progress of the omen effect when the big win is won. An effect is executed to inform the transition to the game state.

Specifically, in this embodiment, when a jackpot is won during execution of the omen effect, the left effect pattern 350, the middle effect pattern 352 and the right effect pattern 354 are displayed in the special lottery effect for the special lottery in which the big win is won. A pseudo-continuous variation performance is executed in which the variation performance from the high-speed variable display to the temporary stop display is repeated a plurality of times.

In this embodiment, three types of pseudo-continuous-variation effects, namely pseudo-continuous-variation effects A to pseudo-continuous-variation effects C, are prepared. 354 is variably displayed at a high speed, a pseudo-variation performance 1 is temporarily stopped and displayed after 3 seconds, and after the pseudo-variation performance 1, a left performance pattern 350, a middle performance pattern 352 and a right performance pattern 354 are variably displayed at high speed. After 66 seconds have passed through the ready-to-win state, the main variable performance is executed in which temporary stop display is performed and fixed stop display is performed.

In the pseudo-continuous variation performance B, the pseudo-variation performance 1, and after the pseudo-variation performance 1, the left performance pattern 350, the middle performance pattern 352, and the right performance pattern 354 are variably displayed at high speed, and after three seconds have passed, the temporary stop display is performed. After the pseudo-fluctuation performance 2, and after the pseudo-fluctuation performance 2, the left performance pattern 350, the middle performance pattern 352, and the right performance pattern 354 are variably displayed at high speed, and after 62 seconds have passed through the ready-to-win state, temporary stop display is made and then fixed. This variable effect that is stopped and displayed is executed.

Further, in the pseudo continuous variation performance C, after the pseudo variation performance 1, the pseudo variation performance 2, and the pseudo variation performance 2, the left performance pattern 350, the middle performance pattern 352, and the right performance pattern 354 are variably displayed at high speed for 3 seconds. A pseudo-fluctuation effect 3 that is temporarily stopped and displayed after the lapse, and after the pseudo-fluctuation effect 3, the left effect pattern 350, the middle effect pattern 352, and the right effect pattern 354 are variably displayed at high speed, and after 58 seconds have elapsed after the ready-to-win mode. After the stop display, the main variable performance is executed in which the fixed stop display is performed.

In this embodiment, when the big win is won during execution of the sign performance, the big win is won according to the progress of the sign performance when the big win is won, that is, according to the value of the specified number of times counter 2930. In the special lottery performance for the special lottery, it is determined which one of the pseudo continuous variation performance A to the pseudo continuous variation performance C is to be executed. Then, when a jackpot is won during execution of the first half of the portent effect, the portent effect image corresponding to the first half scenario data is displayed in the pseudo-variation effect 1, the pseudo-variation effect 2, or the pseudo-variation effect 3 of the determined pseudo-continuous change effect. An appearance effect image is displayed according to the second half scenario data in this variable effect. Further, when a jackpot is won during the execution of the second half precursor effect, an appearance effect image is displayed according to the second half scenario data in the pseudo-variation effect 1, the pseudo-variation effect 2, or the pseudo-variation effect 3 of the determined pseudo-continuous change effect. Is displayed.

Specifically, in this embodiment, when the value of the specified number counter 2930 when the jackpot is won is 6 or more, that is, when the remaining number of special lotteries in the first half of the premonition effect is 3 or more, When the pseudo-continuous variation performance C is determined and the value of the prescribed number counter 2930 is 5, that is, when the remaining number of times of the special lottery in the first half portent performance is two, the pseudo-continuous variation performance B is determined. , When the value of the specified number of times counter 2930 is 4, that is, when the remaining number of times of the special lottery in the first half portent effect is one, the pseudo continuous variation effect A is determined.

Then, when the pseudo-continuous variation performance C is determined because the value of the prescribed number counter 2930 is 6 or more, the pseudo-variation performance 1, the pseudo-variation performance 2, and the pseudo-variation performance 3 of the pseudo-continuous variation performance C are respectively performed. is determined based on the determined first half scenario data, and the appearance effect image displayed in this variable effect is determined based on the determined second half scenario data.

Further, when the pseudo-continuous variation performance B is determined because the value of the specified number of times counter 2930 is 5, the precursor effect is displayed in each of the pseudo-variation performance 1 and the pseudo-variation performance 2 of the pseudo-continuous variation performance B. An image is determined based on the determined first half scenario data, and an appearance effect image displayed in the present variable effect is determined based on the determined second half scenario data.

Further, when the pseudo-continuous variation effect A is determined because the value of the specified number of times counter 2930 is 4, the precursor effect image displayed in the pseudo-variation effect 1 of the pseudo-continuous variation effect A is the determined first half. An appearance effect image that is determined based on the scenario data and displayed in the present variable effect is determined based on the determined second half scenario data.

For example, in the example of FIG. 16(B), as in the example of FIG. 16(A), the first half scenario data 2 and the second half scenario data 4 are determined, and according to the first half scenario data 2, the first half of the premonition effect is performed from the first time. In the special lottery effects of the special lotteries up to the second time, no omen effect image is displayed, and in the special lottery effects of the third to fourth special lotteries in the first half of the omen production, a silver omen effect image is displayed. A big hit is won in the special lottery of the fifth time in the first-half portent effect, that is, the special lottery when the value of the specified number of times counter 2930 becomes 11.

Then, in this case, in the special lottery performance for the special lottery in which the big win is won, it is decided to execute the pseudo-continuous variation performance C, and the pseudo-variation performance 1, the pseudo-variation performance 2 and the pseudo-variation of the pseudo-continuous variation performance C are performed. The portent effect image displayed in each of the effects 3 is determined based on the first half scenario data 2, but in this embodiment, the ordinal number in the first half scenario data is set for the pseudo variable effect with the largest ordinal number in the pseudo continuous change effect. When the precursor effect image associated with the largest turn is determined, and the pseudo-variation production with the undetermined precursor effect image remains, the pseudo-variation production with the next largest ordinal number in the pseudo-continuous-variation production is the first half scenario. A precursor effect image associated with the next highest ordinal number in the data is determined.

For example, in the example of FIG. 16B, for pseudo-fluctuation effect 3, the red precursor effect image associated with the 12th time in first half scenario data 2 is determined, and for pseudo-fluctuation effect 2, 11 A red portent effect image associated with the 10th time in the first half scenario data 2 is determined for the pseudo-fluctuation presentation 1 .

In this case, the appearance effect image displayed in the main variation effect of the pseudo-continuous change effect C is determined based on the second half scenario data 4, but in the present embodiment, it is defined in the determined second half scenario data. The appearance effect image displayed is determined as the appearance effect image to be displayed as it is in the main variable effect.

For example, in the example of FIG. 16B, it is determined that the appearance effect image 2 in the second half scenario data 4 is displayed once and the appearance effect image 3 is displayed twice for this variable effect.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 16B, when the precursor effect image is displayed in the pseudo-fluctuation effect, the precursor background image is displayed in the first half while the pseudo-fluctuation effect is being executed. When the appearance effect image is displayed in the variable effect, the second half precursor background image is displayed while the appearance effect image is displayed. In this case, when the display of all appearance effect images is completed, a effect image in which character A fights against character B is displayed, character A wins over character B, and a text image of "Bonus Acquisition!" appears. The player is informed that the game state will shift to the special game state by displaying the effect image.

Further, when the value of the specified number of times counter 2930 when the jackpot is won is 3, that is, when the remaining number of times of the special lottery in the latter half of the premonitory performance is 3, the pseudo continuous variation performance C is determined, and the prescribed When the value of the number counter 2930 is 2, that is, when the remaining number of times of the special lottery in the second half precursor performance is 2, the pseudo-continuous variation performance B is determined, and the value of the prescribed number of times counter 2930 is 1. In some cases, that is, when the remaining number of special lotteries in the second half portent effect is one, the pseudo-continuous variation effect A is determined.

Then, when the value of the prescribed number of times counter 2930 when the jackpot is won is 3, and thus the pseudo-continuous variation performance C is determined, the pseudo-variation performance 1, the pseudo-variation performance 2, and the pseudo-variation performance C of the pseudo-continuous variation performance C An appearance effect image to be displayed in each of the variable effects 3 is determined based on the determined second half scenario data.

Further, when the pseudo-continuous variation effect B is determined because the value of the specified number of times counter 2930 is 2, the appearance effect displayed in each of the pseudo-variation effect 1 and the pseudo-variation effect 2 of the pseudo-continuous change effect B An image is determined based on the determined second half scenario data.

Further, when the pseudo-continuous variation effect A is determined because the value of the specified number of times counter 2930 is 1, the appearance effect image displayed in the pseudo-variation effect 1 of the pseudo-continuous variation effect A is determined in the latter half of the determination. Determined based on scenario data.

For example, in the example of FIG. 16(C), as in the example of FIG. 16(A), the first half scenario data 2 and the second half scenario data 4 are determined, and according to the first half scenario data 2, the first half of the precursor effect is performed. In the special lottery effects for the special lotteries up to the second time, no omen effect images are displayed, and in the special lottery effects for the third to fourth special lotteries in the first half omen effects, a silver omen effect image is displayed, and the second half omen. In the special lottery effect for the first special lottery in the production (the 13th time in the foreshadowing effect), the appearance effect image 2 is displayed, but the special lottery in the second half in the latter half of the foreshadowing effect (the 14th time in the foreshadowing effect), that is, the regulation In the special lottery when the value of the number counter 2930 is 2, a big win is won.

Then, in this case, in the special lottery performance for the special lottery in which the big win is won, it is decided to execute the pseudo-continuous variation performance B, and in each of the pseudo-variation performance 1 and the pseudo-variation performance 2 of the pseudo-continuous variation performance B. The appearance effect image to be displayed is determined based on the second half scenario data 4, but in this embodiment, the pseudo variable effect with the largest ordinal number in the pseudo continuous change effect corresponds to the time with the largest ordinal number in the second half scenario data. When the attached appearance effect image is determined and there remains a pseudo-variation effect with an undetermined appearance effect image, the pseudo-variation effect with the next largest ordinal number in the pseudo-continuous change effect has the next ordinal number in the second half scenario data. An appearance effect image associated with a large time is determined.

For example, in the example of FIG. 16(C), for the pseudo-fluctuation effect 2, the appearance effect image 3 corresponding to the third time in the second half scenario data 4 is determined, and for the pseudo-fluctuation effect 1, the second time in the second half scenario data 4 is determined. The appearance effect image 3 associated with is determined.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 16C, when the appearance effect image is displayed in the pseudo-fluctuation effect, the second-half portent background image is displayed while the pseudo-fluctuation effect is being executed. In this case, when all the pseudo-fluctuation effects are completed, an effect image in which character A fights character B in the main variable effect is displayed, character A wins against character B, and a text image saying "Bonus Acquisition!" The player is notified that the game state will shift to the special game state by displaying the effect image in which appears.

In this way, in the present embodiment, when a jackpot is won during the execution of the omen effect, the game state changes to a special game state after the effect of taking over the omen effect is executed according to the progress of the omen effect when the big win is won. To confuse a player or disappoint a player who expects a transition to a special state by executing a performance notifying transition to a game state and ending the premonition performance in the middle. I try not to let it happen.

It should be noted that in the present embodiment, if one of the reach variation patterns is determined during the execution of the portent effect, the reach variation pattern is determined in the same manner as when the jackpot is won during the execution of the portent effect. According to the progress of the precursor performance, after the performance of taking over the precursor performance is executed, a performance image in which the character A fights the character B is displayed, the character A and the character B draw, and a character image saying "Continue!" By displaying the effect image in which appears, the player is notified that the variable probability state or the time saving state continues.

In addition, when the jackpot is won in the special lottery that reaches the specified number of times, a performance image in which the character A fights the character B is displayed in the same manner as when the big win is not won in the special lottery that reaches the specified number of times. Although the character A wins against the character B, the game state may shift to a special game state by displaying a performance image in which a character image of "Get bonus!" appears instead of "Get special bonus!" The player is notified. Here, when a big win is won in the special lottery that reaches the prescribed number of times, a different effect image from that in the case where the special lottery that reaches the prescribed number of times does not win a big prize is displayed, and then "Bonus Acquisition!" The player may be notified that the game state will shift to the special game state by displaying the effect image in which the character image appears. A high performance can be made to be performed.

Below, the flow of processing performed by the effect control means 300 in relation to the portent effect will be described using a flowchart. Effect control means 300, in the scenario determination process shown in FIG. or 60 times, and the reservation flag for the foreshadow effect is set to ON (Y in step S102), one first half scenario data is determined from a plurality of types of first half scenario data, and a plurality of types of second half scenario data is determined. One second half scenario data is determined from the scenario data (step S104).

18 and 19, first, as shown in FIG. 18, when the jackpot is won (Y in step S200), when the precursor effect is being executed (Y in step S202) ), the value of the specified number of times counter 2930 is checked (step S204), and when the value of the specified number of times counter 2930 is 6 or more (Y in step S204), the pseudo continuous variation effect C is determined (step S206), Based on the first-half scenario data determined in the scenario determination process, precursor effect images to be displayed in each of the pseudo-variation performance 1, the pseudo-variation performance 2, and the pseudo-variation performance 3 are determined (step S208), and determined in the scenario determination processing. Based on the second half scenario data, the appearance effect image to be displayed in the main variable effect is determined (step S210).

Further, when the value of the specified number of times counter 2930 is 5 (Y in step S212), the pseudo continuous variation effect B is determined (step S214), and based on the first half scenario data determined in the scenario determination process, the pseudo variation effect is performed. Precursor effect images to be displayed in each of production 1 and pseudo-fluctuation production 2 are determined (step S216), and appearance production images to be displayed in this variable production are determined based on the second half scenario data determined in the scenario determination process. (Step S218).

Further, when the value of the prescribed number of times counter 2930 is 4 (Y in step S220), a pseudo continuous variation effect A is determined (step S222), and based on the first half scenario data determined in the scenario determination process, a pseudo variation effect is performed. The foreshadow effect image to be displayed in the production 1 is determined (step S224), and the appearance effect image to be displayed in the main variable performance is determined based on the second half scenario data determined in the scenario determination process (step S226).

Also, as shown in FIG. 19, when the value of the prescribed number counter 2930 is 3 (Y in step S228), the pseudo continuous variation effect C is determined (step S230), and the second half scenario data determined in the scenario determination process , the appearance effect images to be displayed in each of the pseudo-fluctuation effect 1, the pseudo-fluctuation effect 2, and the pseudo-fluctuation effect 3 are determined (step S232).

Further, when the value of the specified number of times counter 2930 is 2 (Y in step S234), the pseudo continuous variation effect B is determined (step S236), and based on the second half scenario data determined in the scenario determination process, the pseudo variation effect is performed. Appearance effect images to be displayed in each of the effect 1 and the pseudo-fluctuation effect 2 are determined (step S238).

Further, when the value of the specified number of times counter 2930 is 1 (N in step S234), the pseudo continuous variation effect A is determined (step S240), and based on the second half scenario data determined in the scenario determination process, the pseudo variation effect is performed. An appearance effect image to be displayed in effect 1 is determined (step S242).

4. Modifications The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and various modifications are possible, and modifications will be introduced below. It should be noted that the above-described embodiment and various methods described below as modified examples can be appropriately combined and adopted as control methods for realizing the present invention.

First, in the above embodiment, the first half of the precursory effect and the second half of the precursory effect are performed in one precursory effect, and when the jackpot is won during the execution of the first half of the precursory effect, the precursory effect corresponding to the first half of the scenario data is generated in the pseudo-fluctuation effect. An image is displayed, and when a jackpot is won during execution of the second half of the foreshadowing effect, an appearance effect image corresponding to the second half scenario data is displayed in the pseudo-fluctuation effect. In the case where the first specific performance is performed and the second specific performance is performed in one omen performance, and when the jackpot is won during the execution of the first specific performance, in the pseudo-fluctuation performance An image corresponding to the scenario data of the first specified performance is displayed, and when a jackpot is won during execution of the second specified performance, an image corresponding to the scenario data of the second specified performance is displayed in the pseudo-fluctuation performance. You may do so.

Further, in the above embodiment, when the jackpot is won during execution of the omen effect, the number of times of the pseudo-fluctuation effect changes according to the value of the specified number of times counter 2930. Until the value becomes 3, the pseudo-fluctuation effect may be executed three times. In this case, when the value of the specified number of times counter 2930 is 6 or more, an image corresponding to the scenario data of the first specific effect is displayed in each of the three pseudo-variation effects, and the value of the specified number of times counter 2930 When the value is 5 or 4, an image corresponding to the scenario data of the first specific effect is displayed in part of the pseudo-variation effects of the three times of the pseudo-variation effects, and the three times of the pseudo-variation effects are displayed. In the other rounds of the pseudo-variation production, an image corresponding to the scenario data of the second specific production is displayed, and if the value of the specified number of times counter 2930 is 3 or less, in each of the three pseudo-variation productions, the 2 An image corresponding to the scenario data of the specific effect may be displayed. Moreover, regardless of the value of the prescribed number counter 2930, the pseudo-variation effect may be executed three times.

Further, in the above embodiment, when a jackpot is won during execution of the omen effect, a pseudo-continuous variation effect is executed as a special lottery effect for the special lottery in which the big win is won. A special lottery performance which is not a variation performance is executed, and a special performance which is not a pseudo-variation performance is executed according to whether a first specific performance is being executed or a second specific performance is being executed when a big win is won. An image corresponding to the scenario data of the first specific performance may be displayed in the lottery performance, or an image corresponding to the scenario data of the second specific performance may be displayed in the special lottery performance which is not the pseudo-fluctuation performance.

Further, in the above embodiment, when a big win is won during execution of the omen effect, a pseudo-continuous variation effect is executed in which the variable effect is performed two to four times in the special lottery effect for the special lottery in which the big win is won. However, a pseudo-continuous variation performance may be executed in which the number of variation performances corresponding to the remaining number of special lotteries in the sign performance when the big win is won is performed. For example, when a jackpot is won in the first special lottery in the first half of the foreshadowing production, a pseudo-continuous fluctuation production in which 15 fluctuation productions are performed is executed in the special lottery production for the special lottery in which the jackpot is won. can be

In this case, the performance time of the special lottery performance for the special lottery in which the jackpot is won during execution of the portent performance is, for example, 70 seconds to 90 seconds, and the special lottery is performed 15 times during execution of the portent performance. It is longer than the total time of the special lottery production for 15 special lotteries in the case of losing in each of the above (for example, 3 seconds x 15 times = 45 seconds). Even if a big win is won in the special lottery, in the special lottery performance for the special lottery in which the big win is won, the performance in the case of losing in each of the 15 special lotteries during execution of the sign performance is executed. Alternatively, an effect may be executed to inform the player whether the game state will shift to a special state or to a normal state.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the game state (control state) is triggered by reaching the specified number of times. , and the foreshadowing performance may heighten the expectation for the special lottery performance for the special lottery that reaches the specified number of times and the expectation for the transition of the performance state to another performance state. . In this case, the production state may be shifted between a plurality of types of production states in which the production lottery table referred to when determining the production is different, or the first special symbol or the second special symbol. The performance state may be shifted among a plurality of types of performance states with different variation pattern lottery tables referred to when determining the variation pattern. In this case, the time when the specified number of times is reached serves as a trigger for the transition of the presentation state, but may not serve as a trigger for the transition of the game state.

In addition, in the above-described embodiment and modification, the effect of notifying the player that the game state shifts to the special state, the effect of notifying the player that the game state shifts to the normal state, the variable probability state or the time saving state Although the explanation has been given by giving an example in which an effect informing that the game state will continue and an effect informing that the game state will shift to a special game state, it is suggested to the player that the game state will shift to a special state. production, production that suggests to the player that the game state will shift to the normal state, production that suggests that the variable probability state or time saving state will continue, and the game state will shift to a special game state. A production may be executed. That is, the effect corresponding to the transition of the game state to a special state, the effect corresponding to the transition of the game state to the normal state, the effect corresponding to the continuation of the variable probability state or the time saving state, and the game state An effect corresponding to shifting to the special game state can be executed.

Then, the production corresponding to the game state shifting to a special state, the production corresponding to the game state shifting to the normal state, the production corresponding to the continuation of the variable probability state or the time saving state, and the game state For each of the effects corresponding to the transition to the special game state, not only the effect image in which the character A fights against the character B, but also a plurality of types of effects with different displayed effect images may be prepared. .

Also, in the jackpot lottery table A shown in FIG. It is the same as or slightly higher than the jackpot lottery table A, but may be about 0. Also, in the jackpot lottery table A to jackpot lottery table D shown in FIGS. 5A to 5D, the odds of winning the small prize may be the same.

Also, in the symbol lottery table D shown in FIG. 6(D), a plurality of types of small winning symbols are selected, and the variation pattern of the second special symbol differs depending on the type of the small winning symbol. In the winning game, the period, timing, or pattern in which the second special accessory 57 is controlled to the open state may be changed, or the effect in the small winning game may be changed.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, an example in which the present invention is applied to a pachinko gaming machine that includes a game area in which game balls move and shoots game balls into the game area according to the operation of the player has been described. A spinning drum system is provided with a plurality of reels on which patterns are arranged, performs a lottery in accordance with the operation of a player for each game, rotates the plurality of reels, and stops the plurality of reels in a mode according to the result of the lottery.
