Description

The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a pachinko machine that displays special identification information variably and can be controlled to an advantageous state that is advantageous to the player.

As a game machine, a game ball, which is a game medium, is fired into a game area by a firing device, and when the game ball enters a prize area such as a prize opening provided in the game area, a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out to the player. There are things that can be done. Furthermore, a variable display device capable of variable display (also referred to as "fluctuation") of identification information is provided, and when the display result of the variable display of identification information on the variable display device becomes a specific display result, the gaming state (game There are machines (so-called pachinko machines) that are configured to give a predetermined gaming value to the player by changing the state of the machine (specifically, the state in which the gaming machine is controlled).

Note that gaming value refers to the state of the variable winning ball device installed in the gaming area of the gaming machine that is advantageous to the player who is likely to hit a winning ball, or the state that is advantageous to the player. This means that rights are generated, and that the conditions for paying out prize balls are easily established.

In a pachinko game machine, a predetermined specific display mode is derived and displayed as a display result of the variable display of special symbols (identification information) that is started on the variable display device based on the winning of a game ball in the starting winning hole. A “jackpot” occurs when the Note that the derivation display means to finally stop and display the symbol (final stop symbol). When a jackpot occurs, for example, a jackpot opening is opened a predetermined number of times and the game enters a jackpot game state in which it is easy to hit a winning ball. Then, in each opening period, when a predetermined number (for example, 10) of prizes are won in the big winning hole, the big winning hole is closed. The number of times the big prize opening is opened is fixed to a predetermined number of times (for example, 15 rounds). Note that an opening time (for example, 29 seconds) is determined for each opening, and even if the number of winnings does not reach a predetermined number, the grand prize opening will be closed when the opening time has elapsed. Hereinafter, the opening period of each big prize opening may be referred to as a round. Moreover, a game in a round is sometimes called a round game.

In addition, in the variable display device, a symbol other than the final stop symbol (for example, the center symbol among the left center right symbols) is stopped and shaken continuously for a predetermined period of time in a state that matches a specific display result. The jackpot may occur before the final result is displayed due to movement, scaling, or deformation, or multiple symbols are changing synchronously with the same symbol, or the positions of the displayed symbols are swapped. A performance performed in a state where sex continues (hereinafter, these states are referred to as a reach state) is called a reach performance. In addition, the reach state and its appearance are called the reach mode. Furthermore, a variable display that includes a reach effect is referred to as a variable reach display. Then, if the display result of the symbols variably displayed on the variable display device is not a specific display result, it becomes a "miss" and the variable display state ends. A player plays a game while enjoying finding out how to generate a jackpot.

In such a gaming machine, for example, Patent Document 1 describes that either a battle reach or a story reach can be executed after the decoration identification information is set as a reach mode.

JP 2017-47092 Publication

However, in the gaming machine described in Patent Document 1, there is room for improvement in how to present the effects that can be executed after the decoration identification information is set to the ready-to-win mode, and the game cannot sufficiently increase interest in the game.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine that can improve gaming interest.

The gaming machine according to the present invention is a gaming machine that variably displays special identification information (for example, special symbols) and can be controlled to an advantageous state (for example, a jackpot gaming state) that is advantageous for the player, and in the display means, A variable display execution means capable of variably displaying a plurality of decorative identification information (for example, decorative patterns) in response to the variable display of the special identification information, and a specific display result (as a result of variable display of the plurality of decorative identification information); For example, when a jackpot symbol is displayed, the advantageous state control means that can be controlled to be in an advantageous state and the decoration identification information are set in a predetermined combination to temporarily stop the reach mode, and then whether or not it is controlled to be in an advantageous state. A performance execution means capable of executing a predetermined performance (for example, super reach B) that notifies the user of The display means can display a predetermined display (for example, center decoration pattern 004IWG01) when the predetermined effect is executed, and display a special display (for example, a cracking pattern) when the special preview effect is executed. The remaining glass image 004IWG05b) can be displayed, and when displaying a predetermined display, it is possible to display a plurality of predetermined related displays (for example, a broken center decoration image 004IWG01a) that imitate at least a part of the predetermined display. (For example, parts corresponding to Figures 8-15 (23) and 8-38), when displaying a special display, a plurality of special related displays (for example, pieces of glass Image 004IWG05a) can be displayed (for example, the part corresponding to Figure 8-35 (4)), and the number of special related displays is greater than the number of predetermined related displays (for example, a broken glass image). 004IWG05a is displayed more often than the fragment image 004IWG01a of the center decoration pattern), there are multiple types of predetermined displays, and the first predetermined display (for example, an even numbered center decoration pattern) is displayed. A predetermined related display that is displayed when a second predetermined display (for example, an odd-numbered center decoration pattern) is displayed among multiple types of predetermined displays. It is characterized by the fact that the appearance is different (for example, the color, shape, number, and scattering of the pieces are different; see Figure 8-39).
According to such a configuration, the predetermined related display and the special related display enhance the production effect of the predetermined effect and the special preview effect, and furthermore, the way the predetermined related display is displayed and the special related display are displayed. The interest in the game can be increased by changing the way the game is displayed when the game is played.

(Basic explanation)
First, the basic configuration and control of the pachinko gaming machine 1 (also the configuration and control of a general pachinko gaming machine) will be explained.

(Configuration of pachinko machine 1, etc.)
FIG. 1 is a front view of a pachinko gaming machine 1, showing the layout of the main components. A pachinko game machine (game machine) 1 is roughly divided into a game board (gauge board) 2 that constitutes a game board surface, and a game machine frame (base frame) 3 that supports and fixes the game board 2. A game area is formed on the game board 2, and a game ball as a game medium is fired from a predetermined ball launcher into this game area.

At a predetermined position on the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 1, on the right side of the gaming area), a variable display (also referred to as a special game) of special symbols (also referred to as special symbols) as multiple types of special identification information is provided. A first special symbol display device 4A and a second special symbol display device 4B are provided. Each of these consists of a 7-segment LED or the like. The special symbols are represented by numbers indicating "0" to "9" and lighting patterns such as "-". The special design may include a pattern in which all LEDs are turned off.

Note that "variable display" of special symbols means, for example, displaying a plurality of types of special symbols in a variable manner (the same applies to other symbols described later). The variations include updated display of a plurality of symbols, scroll display of a plurality of symbols, deformation of one or more symbols, enlargement/reduction of one or more symbols, and the like. In the variation of special symbols and normal symbols described below, a plurality of types of special symbols or normal symbols are updated and displayed. In the variation of decorative patterns described below, a plurality of types of decorative patterns are scrolled or updated, or one or more decorative patterns are deformed or enlarged/reduced. Note that the variation also includes a mode in which a certain symbol is displayed blinking. At the end of the variable display, a predetermined special symbol is stopped and displayed (also referred to as derivation or derivation display) as a display result (the same applies to the variable display of other symbols described later). Note that the variable display may be expressed as a variable display or fluctuation.

The special symbol variably displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A is also referred to as a “first special symbol”, and the special symbol variably displayed on the second special symbol display device 4B is also referred to as a “second special symbol”. Further, a special map game using the first special map is also referred to as a "first special map game", and a special map game using the second special map is also referred to as a "second special map game". Note that there may be only one type of special symbol display device that performs variable display of special symbols.

An image display device 5 is provided near the center of the game area on the game board 2. The image display device 5 is composed of, for example, an LCD (liquid crystal display), an organic EL (electro luminescence), or the like, and displays various effect images. The image display device 5 may include a projector and a screen. The image display device 5 displays various effect images.

For example, on the screen of the image display device 5, in synchronization with the first special pattern game and the second special pattern game, decorative patterns (such as patterns showing numbers, etc.) as multiple types of decorative identification information different from the special pattern are displayed. A variable display is performed. Here, in synchronization with the first special figure game or the second special figure game, decorative figures are displayed variably (for example, up and down direction (scroll display and update display). In addition, the variable display of the special figure game and the decorative pattern which are executed synchronously is collectively referred to as simply variable display.

A display area may be provided on the screen of the image display device 5 for displaying a pending display corresponding to a variable display whose execution is pending, and an active display corresponding to a variable display currently being executed. The pending display and the active display are also collectively referred to as variable display compatible displays that correspond to variable displays.

The number of pending variable displays is also called the number of pending memories. The number of pending memories corresponding to the first special figure game is also referred to as the first number of pending memories, and the number of pending memories corresponding to the second special figure game is also referred to as the second number of pending memories. Further, the sum of the first number of pending memories and the second number of pending memories is also referred to as the total number of pending memories.

Furthermore, a first hold indicator 25A and a second hold indicator 25B each including a plurality of LEDs are provided at predetermined positions on the game board 2. Accordingly, the first pending memory number is displayed, and the second pending display 25B displays the second pending memory number according to the number of LEDs lit.

Below the image display device 5, a winning ball device 6A and a variable winning ball device 6B are provided.

The winning ball device 6A forms a first starting winning hole that is always kept open to allow game balls to enter, for example, by a predetermined ball receiving member. When a game ball enters the first starting winning hole, a predetermined number (for example, three) of winning balls are paid out, and the first special symbol game can be started.

The variable prize winning ball device 6B (normal electric accessory) forms a second starting prize opening that changes between a closed state and an open state by a solenoid 81 (see FIG. 2). The variable prize winning ball device 6B includes, for example, an electric tulip-shaped accessory having a pair of movable wing pieces, and when the solenoid 81 is in the OFF state, the movable wing pieces are in a vertical position, so that the tips of the movable wing pieces are comes close to the winning ball device 6A, and enters a closed state in which the game ball does not enter the second starting winning opening (also referred to as the second starting winning opening enters a closed state). On the other hand, when the solenoid 81 is in the ON state, the movable wing pieces of the variable winning ball device 6B are in the tilted position, so that the variable winning ball device 6B enters an open state in which the game ball can enter the second starting winning hole (second starting winning ball). It is also said that the prize opening will be open.) When the game ball enters the second starting winning hole, a predetermined number (for example, three) of winning balls are paid out, and the second special symbol game can be started. The variable winning ball device 6B may be any device that can change between a closed state and an open state, and is not limited to one that includes an electric tulip type accessory.

At predetermined positions on the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 1, four locations on the left and right lower sides of the game area), general winning holes 10 are provided which are always kept in a constant open state by a predetermined ball receiving member. In this case, when entering any of the general winning holes 10, a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls are paid out as prize balls.

A special variable winning ball device 7 having a big winning hole is provided below the winning ball device 6A and the variable winning ball device 6B. The special variable winning ball device 7 is equipped with a big winning hole door that is driven to open and close by a solenoid 82 (see FIG. 2), and has a big winning hole as a specific area that changes between an open state and a closed state by the big winning hole door. Form.

As an example, in the special variable winning ball device 7, when the solenoid 82 for the big winning hole door (special electric accessory) is in the OFF state, the big winning hole door closes the big winning hole, and the game ball is You will not be able to enter (pass through) the prize opening. On the other hand, in the special variable winning ball device 7, when the solenoid 82 for the big winning hole door is in the on state, the big winning hole door opens the big winning hole so that the game ball can easily enter the big winning hole. Become.

When game balls enter the grand prize opening, a predetermined number (for example, 14) of game balls are paid out as prize balls. When the game ball enters the big winning hole, more prize balls are paid out than when the game ball enters the first starting winning hole, the second starting winning hole, and the general winning hole 10, for example.

Entering the game ball into each winning hole including the general winning hole 10 is also referred to as "winning". In particular, winning in the starting opening (first starting winning opening, second starting winning opening starting opening) is also referred to as starting winning.

A normal symbol display 20 is provided at a predetermined position on the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 1, on the left side of the game area). As an example, the normal symbol display 20 is composed of a 7-segment LED, etc., and performs variable display of normal symbols as multiple types of normal identification information different from special symbols. The normal symbols are represented by numbers indicating "0" to "9" and lighting patterns such as "-". The normal pattern may include a pattern in which all LEDs are turned off. This variable display of ordinary symbols is also called a ordinary symbol game.

A passage gate 41 through which game balls can pass is provided on the left side of the image display device 5. Based on the game ball passing through the passage gate 41, a common figure game is executed.

A normal symbol holding display 25C is provided above the normal symbol display 20. The Fuzu-zu pending display 25C is configured to include, for example, four LEDs, and displays the Fuzu-zu pending storage number, which is the number of Fuzu games whose execution is pending, by the number of lit LEDs.

In addition to the above structure, the surface of the game board 2 is provided with a windmill that changes the downward direction and speed of the game ball and a large number of obstacle nails. At the bottom of the gaming area, there is provided an out opening into which game balls that have not entered any of the winning openings are taken in.

Speakers 8L and 8R for reproducing and outputting sound effects, etc. are provided at the left and right upper positions of the gaming machine frame 3, and game effect lamps 9 for game effects are provided around the gaming area. ing. The game effect lamp 9 includes an LED.

A movable body 32 is provided at a predetermined position on the game board 2 (not shown in FIG. 1), which operates according to the performance.

At the lower right position of the gaming machine frame 3, a ball-hitting operation handle (operation knob) 30 is provided which is operated by a player or the like in order to fire a game ball toward a gaming area using a ball-launching device.

At a predetermined position of the gaming machine frame 3 below the gaming area, game balls paid out as prize balls and game balls lent out by a predetermined ball rental machine are held (stored) so that they can be supplied to the batted ball firing device. ) is provided with a batted ball supply tray (upper tray). A batted ball supply tray (lower tray) is provided below the upper tray from which prize balls are dispensed when the upper tray is full.

A stick controller 31A that can be held and tilted by a player is attached to a predetermined position of the gaming machine frame 3 below the gaming area. The stick controller 31A is provided with a trigger button that can be pressed down by the player. An operation on the stick controller 31A is detected by a controller sensor unit 35A (see FIG. 2).

At a predetermined position of the gaming machine frame 3 below the gaming area, a push button 31B is provided that allows the player to perform a predetermined instruction operation by pressing the button or the like. An operation on push button 31B is detected by push sensor 35B (see FIG. 2).

In the pachinko game machine 1, a stick controller 31A and a push button 31B are provided as detection means for detecting a player's movement (operation, etc.), but detection means other than these may be provided.

(Summary of game progress)
When a player rotates a ball-hitting operation handle 30 provided in the pachinko game machine 1, a game ball is launched toward a game area. When the game ball passes through the passage gate 41, the normal pattern display 20 starts the normal pattern game. In addition, if the game ball passes through the passage gate 41 during the period during which the previous Fuzu game was being executed (the game ball passed through the passage gate 41, but the Fuzu game based on the passage cannot be executed immediately), , the game based on the passage is suspended up to a predetermined upper limit (for example, 4).

In this general pattern game, if a specific normal pattern (a pattern per normal pattern) is stopped and displayed, the display result of the normal pattern becomes ``a common pattern hit''. On the other hand, if a normal symbol other than the regular symbol (ordinary symbol losing symbol) is stopped and displayed as a confirmed ordinary symbol, the display result of the ordinary symbol becomes "ordinary symbol losing". When it becomes a "normal map hit", opening control is performed to keep the variable winning ball device 6B open for a predetermined period of time (the second starting winning opening is brought into the open state).

When the game ball enters the first starting winning hole formed in the winning ball device 6A, the first special symbol game by the first special symbol display device 4A is started.

When a game ball enters the second starting winning hole formed in the variable winning ball device 6B, a second special symbol game by the second special symbol display device 4B is started.

In addition, if the game ball enters the starting prize opening (wins) during the period when the special drawing game is being executed or during the period when it is controlled in the jackpot game state or small winning game state (described later) (the starting prize has occurred) If the special pattern game based on the starting prize cannot be executed immediately), the execution of the special pattern game based on the entry is suspended until a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4).

In the special pattern game, if a specific special pattern (a jackpot pattern, e.g. "7", the actual pattern differs depending on the jackpot type described later) is stopped and displayed as a confirmed special pattern, it becomes a "jackpot" and the jackpot pattern If a predetermined special symbol (a small winning symbol, for example "2") different from the above is stopped and displayed, it becomes a "small winning". Further, if a special symbol (a losing symbol, for example "-") different from the jackpot symbol or the small winning symbol is stopped and displayed, it becomes a "loser".

After the display result in the special figure game becomes a "jackpot", the game is controlled to be in a jackpot game state as an advantageous state for the player. After the display result in the special figure game becomes a "small win", the game is controlled to a small win game state.

In the jackpot game state, the jackpot formed by the special variable winning ball device 7 is opened in a predetermined manner. The open state is determined by the timing when a predetermined period of time (for example, 29 seconds or 1.8 seconds) elapses, or the timing until the number of game balls that enter the grand prize opening reaches a predetermined number (for example, 9 balls). This will continue until the earliest of the two. The predetermined period is the upper limit period during which the big prize opening can be opened in one round, and hereinafter also referred to as the upper limit opening period. One cycle in which the big prize opening is opened in this way is called a round (round game). In the jackpot game state, the round can be repeated until it reaches a predetermined upper limit number of times (15 or 2 times).

In the jackpot game state, the player can receive a prize ball by entering the game ball into the jackpot opening. Therefore, the jackpot gaming state is an advantageous state for the player. The greater the number of rounds in the jackpot gaming state and the longer the open upper limit period, the more advantageous it is for the player.

In addition, the jackpot type is set in "Jackpot". For example, we prepare multiple types of opening modes for the jackpot (number of rounds and upper limit opening period) and gaming states after the jackpot gaming state (normal state, time-saving state, variable probability state, etc., described later), and the jackpot can be adjusted accordingly. Type is set. As the jackpot type, there may be provided a jackpot type in which a large number of prize balls can be obtained, and a jackpot type in which a small number of prize balls or hardly any prize balls can be obtained.

In the small winning game state, the big winning opening formed by the special variable winning ball device 7 is opened in a predetermined opening manner. For example, in the small winning gaming state, the opening mode is the same as the jackpot gaming state for some jackpot types (the number of openings of the big winning opening is the same as the number of rounds above, and the closing timing of the big winning opening is also the same). etc.), the big prize opening will be open. In addition, similar to the jackpot type, a small hit type may also be provided for "small hit".

After the jackpot gaming state ends, depending on the above-mentioned jackpot type, it may be controlled to a time saving state or a variable probability state.

In the time-saving state, control (time-saving control) is executed to shorten the average special symbol variation time (period for varying the special symbol) compared to the normal state. In the short time state, by shortening the average fluctuation time (period for changing the general pattern) than in the normal state, and by increasing the probability of hitting the normal pattern in the general drawing game compared to the normal state, etc. Control (high opening control, high base control) that makes it easier for game balls to enter the second starting prize opening is also executed. The time saving state is a state in which the variation efficiency of the special symbols (especially the second special symbol) is improved, so it is an advantageous state for the player.

In the variable probability state (probability variable state), in addition to the time saving control, variable probability control is executed in which the probability that the displayed result is a "jackpot" is higher than in the normal state. The variable probability state is a state that is more advantageous to the player because it improves the efficiency of changing the special symbols and is also a state where it is easy to hit the jackpot.

The time saving state and the variable probability state continue until any one of the end conditions is met first, such as the execution of the special figure game a predetermined number of times and the start of the next jackpot game state. A condition where the termination condition is that the special figure game has been executed a predetermined number of times is also called number-cutting (number-cutting time reduction, number-cutting probability variable, etc.).

A normal state is a gaming state other than a special state such as an advantageous state such as a jackpot game state that is advantageous to the player, a time saving state, or a variable probability state, and the display result in the Fuzu game is "Fuzu hit". The pachinko game machine 1, such as the probability and the probability that the display result in the special figure game will be a "jackpot", will be returned to the initial setting state of the pachinko game machine 1 (for example, when the system is reset, a predetermined return after power is turned on). This state is controlled in the same way as when no processing is executed).

A state in which variable probability control is being executed is also referred to as a high probability state, and a state in which variable probability control is not executed is also referred to as a low probability state. A state in which time saving control is being executed is also referred to as a high base state, and a state in which time saving control is not being executed is also referred to as a low base state. Combining these, the time-saving state is also called a low-probability high-base state, the variable-probability state is a high-probability high-base state, and the normal state is called a low-probability low-base state. The high certainty state and low base state is also referred to as the high certainty low base state.

After the small hit game state ends, the game state is not changed, and the display result of the special figure game continues to be controlled to the previous game state when it became a "small win" (However, if a "small win" occurs) If the special figure game of the hour is the special figure game of the predetermined number of times in the above-mentioned number cut, the game state is naturally changed). It should be noted that the display result of the special figure game does not need to be a "small win".

Note that the gaming state may change based on the game ball passing through a specific area (for example, a specific area within the big winning opening) during the jackpot gaming state. For example, when the game ball passes through a specific area, the control may be changed to a variable probability state after the jackpot game state.

(Progress of production, etc.)
In the pachinko game machine 1, various effects (effects for notifying the progress of the game or for enlivening the game) are executed according to the progress of the game. The performance will be explained below. The effect is performed by displaying various effect images on the image display device 5, but in addition to or in place of the display, audio output from the speakers 8L and 8R and/or the game effect lamp 9 This may be done by turning on/off the light, moving the movable body 32, etc.

As a performance executed according to the progress of the game, the "left", "middle", "right" decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R provided on the image display device 5 display the first special pattern game or the first special pattern display area 5L, 5C, and 5R. 2. Corresponding to the start of the special figure game, variable display of decorative symbols is started. At the timing when the display result (also referred to as a fixed special pattern) is stopped and displayed in the first special pattern game or the second special pattern game, the fixed decorative pattern (a combination of three decorative patterns) that is the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern ) is also stopped and displayed (derived).

During the period from when the variable display of the decorative symbols starts until it ends, the mode of the variable display of the decorative symbols may become a predetermined reach mode (reach is established). Here, the reach mode refers to the variable display of decorative symbols that are not yet displayed while the decorative symbols that are stopped and displayed on the screen of the image display device 5 form part of a jackpot combination that will be described later. This refers to the manner in which the situation continues.

Furthermore, a ready-to-win effect is executed in response to the above-mentioned ready-to-win mode being set during the variable display of the decorative symbols. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, the percentage of display results (display results of special pattern games and display results of variable display of decorative symbols) becoming a "jackpot" (also referred to as jackpot reliability or jackpot expectation level) is determined depending on the performance mode. A plurality of different types of reach effects are executed. The reach performance includes, for example, normal reach and super reach, which has higher jackpot reliability than normal reach.

When the display result of the special figure game becomes a "jackpot", a fixed decorative pattern that becomes a predetermined jackpot combination is derived as a display result of the variable display of decorative patterns on the screen of the image display device 5 (decorative pattern). The display result of the variable display of symbols is a "jackpot"). As an example, the same decorative symbols (for example, "7", etc.) are all stopped and displayed on predetermined valid lines in the "left", "middle", and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R. .

In the case of a "probable variable jackpot" that is controlled to a variable probability state after the end of the jackpot gaming state, odd-numbered decorative symbols (for example, "7", etc.) are stopped and displayed, and the variable probability state is changed after the jackpot gaming state ends. In the case of an uncontrolled "uncertain variable jackpot (normal jackpot)", even-numbered decorative symbols (for example, "6", etc.) may be stopped and displayed all together. In this case, the odd-numbered decorative patterns are also referred to as variable probability patterns, and the even-numbered decorative patterns are also referred to as non-probable variable patterns (normal patterns). After reaching the reach mode with non-probability variable symbols, a promotion performance that ultimately becomes a "probability variable jackpot" may be executed.

When the display result of the special figure game becomes a "small win", on the screen of the image display device 5, as a display result of the variable display of decorative patterns, a fixed decorative pattern (for example, " 1 3 5" etc.) is derived (the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern becomes a "small hit"). As an example, decorative symbols constituting a chance are displayed in a stopped state on predetermined active lines in the "left", "middle", and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R. In addition, when the display result of the special figure game becomes a "jackpot" for some jackpot types (jackpot type in a jackpot game state in the same manner as the small win game state) and when it becomes a "small win". , a common determined decorative pattern may be derived and displayed.

If the display result of the special pattern game is a "lose", the mode of variable display of the decorative pattern does not become the reach mode, and the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern is the fixed decorative pattern of the non-reach combination (" ) may be stopped and displayed (the display result of the variable display of decorative symbols may be "non-reach loss"). In addition, if the display result is a "lose", after the variable display mode of the decorative design becomes the reach mode, a predetermined reach combination that is not a jackpot combination ("reach loss") is displayed as the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol. The fixed decorative pattern (also referred to as "decorative pattern") may be stopped and displayed (the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern may be "reach loss").

The performances that can be performed by the pachinko gaming machine 1 also include displaying the above-mentioned variable display compatible display (pending display and active display). In addition, as other effects, for example, a preview effect that foretells the reliability of the jackpot is executed during the variable display of the decorative symbols. The preview performance includes a preview performance that foretells the reliability of a jackpot in a variable display that is currently being executed, and a preview performance that foretells the reliability of a jackpot in a variable display before execution (a variable display whose execution is pending). As the pre-read preview performance, a performance that changes the display mode of the variable display compatible display (suspended display or active display) to a different mode than usual may be performed.

In addition, in the image display device 5, by temporarily stopping the decorative pattern during the variable display of the decorative pattern and then restarting the variable display, one variable display can be made to appear pseudo as multiple variable displays. A pseudo-continuous performance may also be executed.

Even during the jackpot game state, a jackpot performance for notifying the jackpot game state is executed. As the jackpot performance, a performance that notifies the number of rounds or a promotion performance that indicates that the value of the jackpot game state is improved may be executed. Further, even during the small winning game state, a small winning performance for notifying the small winning gaming state is executed. In addition, the jackpot game during the small win game state and some jackpot types (jackpot type of the jackpot game state in the same manner as the small win game state, for example, the jackpot type that makes the subsequent gaming state a high probability state). By performing a common performance depending on the state, the player may not be able to tell whether the player is currently in a small win game state or a jackpot game state. In such a case, by executing a common performance after the end of the small win gaming state and after the end of the jackpot gaming state, it is possible to make it impossible to distinguish between a high probability state and a low probability state. It's okay.

Further, for example, when a special figure game or the like is not being executed, a demonstration image is displayed on the image display device 5 (a customer waiting demonstration effect is executed).

At this time, various data stored in the ROM 101 (variation patterns described later, production control commands described later, data such as various tables referred to when making various decisions described later) are used, and the RAM 102 is used as the main memory. . The RAM 102 serves as a backup RAM in which the stored contents are saved for a predetermined period even if the power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is stopped, in part or in whole. Note that all or part of the program stored in the ROM 101 may be loaded into the RAM 102 and executed on the RAM 102.

The random number circuit 104 updatesably counts numerical data indicating various random numbers (gaming random numbers) used when controlling the progress of the game. The gaming random number may be updated by the CPU 103 executing a predetermined computer program (updated by software).

The I/O 105 includes, for example, an input port into which various signals (detection signals to be described later) are input, and various signals (first special symbol display device 4A, second special symbol display device 4B, normal symbol display device 20, first pending). It is configured to include an output port for transmitting a signal for controlling (driving) the display 25A, the second hold display 25B, the ordinary card hold display 25C, etc., and a solenoid drive signal.

The switch circuit 110 receives detection signals (when a game ball passes or A detection signal indicating that the switch has entered and the switch has been turned on) is taken in and transmitted to the game control microcomputer 100. The transmission of the detection signal means that the passage or entry of the game ball has been detected.

The solenoid circuit 111 sends a solenoid drive signal (for example, a signal to turn on the solenoid 81 and the solenoid 82) from the game control microcomputer 100 to the solenoid 81 for the normal electric accessory and the solenoid 82 for the big prize opening door. Transmit.

The main board 11 (game control microcomputer 100) is a production control board that sends production control commands (commands that specify (notify) the progress of the game, etc.) according to the progress of the game as part of the control of the progress of the game. Supply to 12. The production control command output from the main board 11 is relayed by the relay board 15 and supplied to the production control board 12. The performance control command includes, for example, various decision results on the main board 11 (for example, display results of the special figure game (including jackpot type), fluctuation patterns used when executing the special figure game (details will be described later), etc. )), game status (for example, start and end of variable display, opening status of big prize opening, occurrence of winnings, number of pending memories, game status), occurrence of errors, etc. are included.

The production control board 12 is a sub-side control board independent of the main board 11, and receives production control commands and performs production (various productions according to the progress of the game) based on the received production control commands. It has a function of executing various notifications (including various notifications such as driving the movable body 32, notification of errors, notification of power outage recovery, etc.).

The performance control board 12 is equipped with a performance control CPU 120, a ROM 121, a RAM 122, a display control section 123, a random number circuit 124, and an I/O 125.

The production control CPU 120 executes a program stored in the ROM 121 to perform processing together with the display control unit 123 to execute the production (processing for realizing the above-mentioned functions of the production control board 12; (including decisions, etc.). At this time, various data (data such as various tables) stored in the ROM 121 are used, and the RAM 122 is used as the main memory.

The performance control CPU 120 displays execution of the performance based on detection signals from the controller sensor unit 35A and the push sensor 35B (a signal that is output when an operation by a player is detected, and a signal that appropriately indicates the operation content). The control unit 123 may also be instructed.

The display control unit 123 includes a VDP (Video Display Processor), a CGROM (Character Generator ROM), a VRAM (Video RAM), etc., and executes a performance based on a performance execution instruction from the performance control CPU 120.

The display control unit 123 causes the image display device 5 to display a performance image by supplying a video signal corresponding to the performance to be executed to the image display device 5 based on a performance execution instruction from the performance control CPU 120. The display control unit 123 further supplies a sound designation signal (a signal that designates the sound to be output) to the sound control board 13 in order to output sound in synchronization with the display of the effect images and turn on/off the game effect lamps 9. or supplies a lamp signal (a signal specifying the lighting/extinguishing mode of the lamp) to the lamp control board 14. Further, the display control unit 123 supplies a signal for operating the movable body 32 to the movable body 32 or a drive circuit that drives the movable body 32.

The audio control board 13 is equipped with various circuits that drive the speakers 8L and 8R, and drives the speakers 8L and 8R based on the sound designation signal, and outputs the sound specified by the sound designation signal from the speakers 8L and 8R. let

The lamp control board 14 is equipped with various circuits that drive the game effect lamps 9, drives the game effect lamps 9 based on the lamp signals, and turns on/off the game effect lamps 9 in a manner specified by the lamp signals. do. In this way, the display control unit 123 controls the audio output and the lighting/extinguishing of the lamp.

Note that the production control CPU 120 executes audio output, control of lamp lighting/extinguishing (supply of sound designation signals and lamp signals, etc.), and control of the movable body 32 (supply of signals for operating the movable body 32, etc.). You can do it like this.

The random number circuit 124 updatesably counts numerical data indicating various random numbers (random numbers for effects) used to execute various effects. The random number for presentation may be updated by the presentation control CPU 120 executing a predetermined computer program (updated by software).

It consists of an output port and an output port.

Boards other than the main board 11, such as the production control board 12, the audio control board 13, and the lamp control board 14, are also referred to as subboards. A plurality of sub-boards may be provided for each function as in the pachinko gaming machine 1, or one sub-board may be configured to have a plurality of functions.

(motion)
Next, the operation (function) of the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be explained.

(Main operations of main board 11)
First, the main operations of the main board 11 will be explained. When power supply to the pachinko game machine 1 is started, the game control microcomputer 100 is activated, and the CPU 103 executes game control main processing. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the game control main processing executed by the CPU 103 on the main board 11.

In the game control main process shown in FIG. 3, the CPU 103 first sets interrupts to be prohibited (step S1). Next, necessary initial settings are performed (step S2). The initial settings include stack pointer settings, register settings for built-in devices (CTC (counter/timer circuit), parallel input/output ports, etc.), settings to make the RAM 102 accessible, and the like.

Next, it is determined whether the output signal from the clear switch is on (step S3). The clear switch is mounted on, for example, a power supply board. When the power is turned on with the clear switch on, an output signal (clear signal) is input to the game control microcomputer 100 via the input port. If the output signal from the clear switch is on (step S3; Yes), initialization processing (step S8) is executed. In the initialization process, the CPU 103 performs a RAM clear process to clear the flags, counters, and buffers stored in the RAM 102, and sets initial values in the work area.

Further, the CPU 103 transmits a production control command instructing initialization to the production control board 12 (step S9). When receiving the performance control command, the performance control CPU 120 displays a screen on the image display device 5, for example, to notify that the control of the gaming machine has been initialized.

If the output signal from the clear switch is not on (step S3; No), it is determined whether backup data is stored in the RAM 102 (backup RAM) (step S4). When the power supply to the pachinko game machine 1 is stopped due to an unexpected power outage or the like (power outage), the CPU 103 executes the power supply stop processing immediately before the pachinko game machine 1 becomes unable to operate due to the power supply stop. In this power supply stop processing, processing for turning on a backup flag indicating that data is to be backed up in the RAM 102, data protection processing for the RAM 102, and the like are executed. The data protection process includes adding error detection codes (checksum, parity bit, etc.) and backing up various data. The data to be backed up includes various data for proceeding with the game (including various flags, states of various timers, etc.), as well as backup flag states and error detection codes. In step S4, it is determined whether the backup flag is on. If the backup flag is off and no backup data is stored in the RAM 102 (step S4; No), initialization processing (step S8) is executed.

If the backup data is stored in the RAM 102 (step S4; Yes), the CPU 103 performs a data check on the backed up data (performed using an error detection code) and determines whether the data is normal (step S4). S5). In step S5, it is determined whether the data in the RAM 102 matches the data when the power supply was stopped, for example, using a parity bit or a checksum. If it is determined that these match, it is determined that the data in the RAM 102 is normal.

If it is determined that the data in the RAM 102 is not normal (step S5; No), the internal state cannot be returned to the state when the power supply was stopped, so initialization processing (step S8) is executed.

If it is determined that the data in the RAM 102 is normal (step S5; Yes), the CPU 103 performs a recovery process (step S6) to return the internal state of the main board 11 to the state at the time the power supply was stopped. In the recovery process, the CPU 103 sets a work area based on the storage contents of the RAM 102 (the contents of the backed up data). As a result, the gaming state is restored to the state at the time of power supply stoppage, and if the special symbols are fluctuating, the fluctuation of the special symbols will be restarted from the state before restoration by executing the game control timer interrupt process described later. That will happen.

Then, the CPU 103 transmits a production control command to the production control board 12 to instruct recovery from the power outage (step S7). In line with this, a performance control command that specifies the backed-up gaming state before the power outage, or a performance control command that specifies the display result of the special game that is currently being executed if the special game is being executed. A command may also be sent. These commands can be the same as the commands that are set to be sent in the special design process described later. When the performance control CPU 120 receives a performance control command that specifies the time of recovery from a power outage, it notifies the image display device 5, for example, that recovery from a power outage has been completed or that recovery from a power outage is in progress. Display the screen to do so. The performance control CPU 120 may perform appropriate screen display based on the performance control command.

After completing the restoration process or initialization process and transmitting the production control command to the production control board 12, the CPU 103 executes a random number circuit setting process to initialize the random number circuit 104 (step S10). Then, the CTC register built in the gaming control microcomputer 100 is set so that a timer interrupt is periodically generated every predetermined time (for example, 2 ms) (step S11), and the interrupt is permitted (step S12). ). After that, loop processing begins. Thereafter, an interrupt request signal is sent from the CTC to the CPU 103 at predetermined intervals (for example, 2 ms), and the CPU 103 can periodically execute timer interrupt processing.

When the CPU 103 that has executed the game control main process receives an interrupt request signal from the CTC and accepts the interrupt request, it executes the game control timer interrupt process shown in the flowchart of FIG. When starting the game control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. It is determined whether detection signals are received from various switches such as the switch 22B and the count switch 23 (step S21). Next, by executing a predetermined main-side error process, the pachinko gaming machine 1 is diagnosed for abnormality, and a warning can be issued if necessary according to the diagnosis result (step S22). Thereafter, by executing a predetermined information output process, for example, jackpot information (information indicating the number of jackpot occurrences, etc.) and starting information (starting Data such as information indicating the number of winnings, etc.) and probability fluctuation information (information indicating the number of times the probability variable state has been reached, etc.) are output (step S23).

Following the information output process, a gaming random number updating process is executed to update at least a part of the gaming random numbers used on the main board 11 side by software (step S24). After this, the CPU 103 executes special symbol process processing (step S25). The CPU 103 executes special symbol process processing for each timer interrupt, thereby realizing management of execution and suspension of the special symbol game, control of jackpot gaming state, small winning gaming state, control of gaming state, etc. (For details, see (described later).

Following the special symbol process, the normal symbol process is executed (step S26). The CPU 103 executes the normal pattern process processing for each timer interrupt, thereby managing the execution and suspension of the normal pattern game based on the detection signal from the gate switch 21 (based on the passage of the game ball to the passing gate 41), This makes it possible to control the opening of the variable winning ball device 6B based on the "normal map hit". The normal pattern game is executed by driving the normal pattern display 20, and the number of normal patterns pending is displayed by lighting the normal pattern pending display 25C.

After executing the normal symbol process processing, processing when a power outage occurs, processing for paying out prize balls, etc. may be performed as part of the game control timer interrupt processing. After that, the CPU 103 executes command control processing (step S27). The CPU 103 may set transmission control commands in each of the above processes. In the command control process of step S27, a process is performed in which the effect control command set for transmission is transmitted to a sub-side control board such as the effect control board 12. After executing the command control process, interrupts are permitted, and then the game control timer interrupt process is ended.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S25 shown in FIG. 4 as the special symbol process process. In this special symbol process, the CPU 103 first executes a starting winning determination process (step S101).

In the starting winning determination process, a process is executed to detect the occurrence of a starting winning, store pending information in a predetermined area of the RAM 102, and update the pending storage number. When a starting prize occurs, a random number value for determining the display result (including the type of jackpot) and fluctuation pattern is extracted and stored as pending information. Furthermore, a process of pre-reading and determining display results and fluctuation patterns may be performed based on the extracted random number values. After storing the pending information and the number of pending memories, transmission settings are made to send the production control command to the production control board 12 to specify the determination results such as the occurrence of a starting prize, the number of pending memories, and the pre-read judgment. . The performance control command at the time of start winning that is set to be transmitted is transferred from the main board 11 to the performance control board 12 by, for example, executing the command control process in step S27 shown in FIG. 4 after the special symbol process process is completed. transmitted to.

After executing the starting winning determination process in S101, the CPU 103 selects and executes any of the processes in steps S110 to S120 according to the value of the special symbol process flag provided in the RAM 102. In addition, in each process (steps S110 to S120) of the special symbol process process, transmission settings are made to transmit the performance control command corresponding to each process to the performance control board 12.

The special symbol normal process in step S110 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is "0" (initial value). In this special symbol normal processing, it is determined whether or not to start the first special symbol game or the second special symbol game based on the presence or absence of reservation information. In addition, in the special symbol normal processing, based on the random value for determining the display result, it is determined whether the display result of the special symbol or decorative symbol is a "big hit" or "small win" and the type of jackpot when it is determined to be a "jackpot". is determined (pre-determined) before the display result is derived and displayed. Furthermore, in the special symbol normal processing, a confirmed special symbol (any of a jackpot symbol, a small prize symbol, or a losing symbol) to be stopped and displayed in the special symbol game is set in accordance with the determined display result. After that, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to "1", and the special symbol normal processing ends. Note that the special pattern game using the second special pattern may be executed with priority over the special pattern game using the first special pattern (also referred to as special pattern 2 priority consumption). Further, the winning order of the game balls in the first starting winning hole and the second starting winning hole may be stored, and the starting conditions for the special figure game may be established in the winning order (also referred to as winning order completion).

When making various decisions based on random numbers, various tables (tables in which decision values to be compared with random numbers are assigned to decision results) stored in the ROM 101 are referred to. The same applies to other decisions on the main board 11 and various decisions on the production control board 12. In the production control board 12, various tables are stored in the ROM 121.

The variation pattern setting process in step S111 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "1". In this fluctuation pattern setting process, based on the pre-determined result of whether the display result will be a "big hit" or "small hit", a random value for determining the fluctuation pattern is used to select one of multiple types of fluctuation patterns. It includes the process of determining the In the variation pattern setting process, when the variation pattern is determined, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "2", and the variation pattern setting process ends.

The variation pattern includes the execution time of the special figure game (special figure variation time) (also the execution time of the variable display of decorative symbols), the variable display mode of the ornamental symbols (the presence or absence of reach, etc.), and the variable display period of the decorative symbols. It specifies the content of the performance (type of reach performance, etc.), and is also called a variable display pattern.

The special symbol variation process in step S112 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is "2". This special symbol variation process includes a process of making settings for varying the special symbol in the first special symbol display device 4A and second special symbol display device 4B, and the elapsed time since the special symbol started to fluctuate. It includes processes such as measuring. It is also determined whether the measured elapsed time has reached the special figure fluctuation time corresponding to the fluctuation pattern. Then, when the elapsed time after starting the variation of the special symbol reaches the special symbol variation time, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to "3" and the special symbol variation process ends.

The special symbol stop process in step S113 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is "3". In this special symbol stopping process, the fluctuation of the special symbol is stopped in the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B, and the finalized special symbol that becomes the display result of the special symbol is stopped and displayed (derived). Contains processing to configure settings for Then, when the display result is a "jackpot", the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "4". On the other hand, when the jackpot flag is off and the display result is a "small hit", the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "8". Moreover, when the display result is "lost", the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "0". When the display result is a "small hit" or "loss", the game state is also updated when the time-saving state or the variable probability state is controlled and when the end of the number cut is established. When the value of the special symbol process flag is updated, the special symbol stop processing ends.

The jackpot opening preprocessing in step S114 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "4". This jackpot opening pre-processing includes processing to start a round in the jackpot game state and set the jackpot opening state based on the display result being a "jackpot", etc. It is. When the big winning opening is opened, a process is executed to supply a solenoid drive signal to the solenoid 82 for the big winning opening door. At this time, for example, depending on the jackpot type, the opening upper limit period for keeping the jackpot open and the upper limit number of rounds to be executed are set. When these settings are completed, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "5", and the jackpot release preprocessing is completed.

The jackpot opening process in step S115 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "5". This jackpot opening process includes a process of measuring the elapsed time since the jackpot opening is opened, and a process of measuring the elapsed time from when the jackpot opening is opened, and based on the measured elapsed time and the number of game balls detected by the count switch 23, the jackpot opening This includes processing for determining whether it is time to return the switch from an open state to a closed state. Then, when returning the big prize opening to the closed state, after executing a process such as stopping the supply of the solenoid drive signal to the solenoid 82 for the big winning opening door, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "6", The jackpot opening process ends.

The jackpot opening process in step S116 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "6". This jackpot opening process includes a process to determine whether the number of rounds to open the jackpot has reached the set upper limit number of runs, and a process to enter the jackpot game state when the upper limit number of runs has been reached. This includes processing to make settings for terminating the process. When the number of executions of the round has not reached the upper limit number of executions, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "5", while when the number of executions of the round has reached the upper limit number of executions, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "5". The value is updated to "7". When the value of the special figure process flag is updated, the jackpot release post-processing ends.

The jackpot end process in step S117 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "7". This jackpot ending process includes a process of waiting until the waiting time corresponding to the period in which the ending performance is executed as a performance operation to notify the end of the jackpot gaming state, and a process of waiting until the waiting time corresponding to the end of the jackpot gaming state has changed. It includes processing to perform various settings for starting control and time-saving control. When such settings are made, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "0", and the jackpot ending process ends.

The small hit opening preprocessing in step S118 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "8". This small win opening pre-processing includes processing for setting the large winning opening to be open in the small winning gaming state based on the display result being "small winning". At this time, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "9", and the small hit release preprocessing ends.

The small winning opening process in step S119 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "9". This small win opening process includes a process that measures the elapsed time since the big winning opening was opened, and a timing that returns the big winning opening from the open state to the closed state based on the measured elapsed time. This includes processing to determine whether or not the When the big winning opening is returned to the closed state and the timing for ending the small winning game state is reached, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "10" and the small winning opening process ends.

The small hit end process of step S120 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "10". This small win ending process includes a process of waiting until a waiting time corresponding to a period in which a performance operation to notify the end of the small win game state has elapsed. Here, when the small winning gaming state ends, the gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 before entering the small winning gaming state is continued. When the waiting time at the end of the small winning game state has elapsed, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "0", and the small winning ending process ends.

(Main operations of the production control board 12)
Next, the main operations in the production control board 12 will be explained. When the effect control board 12 receives power supply voltage from a power source board or the like, the effect control CPU 120 is activated and executes effect control main processing as shown in the flowchart of FIG. When the production control main process shown in FIG. Performs register settings for the installed CTC (counter/timer circuit). In addition, initial operation control processing is executed (step S72). In the initial operation control process, control is executed to perform the initial operation of the movable body 32, such as driving the movable body 32 to return it to the initial position and checking a predetermined operation.

Thereafter, it is determined whether the timer interrupt flag is on (step S73). The timer interrupt flag is set to an on state every time a predetermined time (for example, 2 milliseconds) elapses, based on, for example, a register setting of the CTC. At this time, if the timer interrupt flag is off (step S73; No), the process of step S73 is repeatedly executed and the process waits.

Furthermore, on the side of the production control board 12, an interrupt for receiving a production control command from the main board 11 is generated in addition to a timer interrupt that occurs every time a predetermined time elapses. This interrupt is, for example, an interrupt that occurs when the effect control INT signal from the main board 11 is turned on. When an interrupt occurs due to the production control INT signal being turned on, the production control CPU 120 automatically disables interrupts, but if a CPU that does not automatically disable interrupts is used, interrupts are disabled. It is desirable to issue a prohibition order (DI order). The production control CPU 120 executes, for example, a predetermined command reception interrupt process in response to an interrupt caused by the production control INT signal being turned on. In this command reception interrupt process, an effect control command is taken in from a predetermined input port included in the I/O 125 that receives a control signal transmitted from the main board 11 via the relay board 15. The production control command taken in at this time is stored in a production control command reception buffer provided in the RAM 122, for example. After that, the production control CPU 120 sets the interrupt permission, and then ends the command reception interrupt process.

If the timer interrupt flag is on in step S73 (step S73; Yes), the timer interrupt flag is cleared and turned off (step S74), and command analysis processing is executed (step S75). In the command analysis process, for example, after reading various production control commands transmitted from the game control microcomputer 100 of the main board 11 and stored in the production control command reception buffer, the read production control commands are Corresponding settings and controls are performed. For example, the read performance control command may be stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 122 or stored in the RAM 122 so that the performance control command received and the content specified by the performance control command can be confirmed in the performance control process processing. Turn on the provided reception flag. Further, when the performance control command specifies a gaming state, the display control unit 123 may be instructed to display a background according to the gaming state.

After executing the command analysis process in step S75, the production control process process is executed (step S76). In the performance control process processing, for example, the display operation of the performance image in the display area of the image display device 5, the audio output operation from the speakers 8L and 8R, the lighting operation of the decorative light emitters such as the game effect lamp 9 and the decorative LED, and the movable body 32 Control is performed to operate various presentation devices, such as driving operations. Further, regarding the content of control of performance operations using various performance devices, judgments, decisions, settings, etc. are performed in accordance with performance control commands transmitted from the main board 11.

Following the performance control process processing in step S76, a performance random number update process is executed (step S77), and at least a portion of the performance random numbers used on the performance control board 12 are updated by software. Thereafter, the process returns to step S73. Other processes may be executed before returning to the process of step S73.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S76 of FIG. 6 as the production control process process. In the performance control process shown in FIG. 7, the performance control CPU 120 first executes a pre-read notice setting process (step S161). In the pre-read preview setting process, for example, based on the performance control command at the time of start-up winning that is transmitted from the main board 11, determination, determination, setting, etc. for executing the pre-read preview performance are performed. Further, processing for displaying a pending display is executed based on the number of pending memories specified from the production control command.

After executing the process of step S161, the production control CPU 120 selects and executes one of the following processes of steps S170 to S177, depending on the value of the production process flag provided in the RAM 122, for example.

The variable display start waiting process in step S170 is a process that is executed when the value of the production process flag is "0" (initial value). This variable display start waiting process is a process of determining whether or not to start variable display of decorative patterns on the image display device 5 based on whether or not a command specifying the start of variable display has been received from the main board 11. Contains such as. When it is determined to start variable display of decorative symbols on the image display device 5, the value of the production process flag is updated to "1", and the variable display start waiting process is ended.

The variable display start setting process in step S171 is a process that is executed when the value of the production process flag is "1". In this variable display start setting process, based on the display result and fluctuation pattern specified by the production control command, the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern (determined decorative pattern), the mode of variable display of the decorative pattern, the reach effect, etc. It determines whether or not various performances such as preview performances are to be executed, their mode, execution start timing, and the like. Then, a performance control pattern (a collection of control data for instructing the display control unit 123 to execute the performance) that reflects the determination result etc. is set. Thereafter, based on the set performance control pattern, the display control unit 123 is instructed to start executing the variable display of decorative symbols, the value of the performance process flag is updated to "2", and the variable display start setting process is ended. The display control unit 123 causes the image display device 5 to start variable display of decorative symbols in response to an instruction to start variable display of decorative symbols.

The variable display effect processing in step S172 is a process that is executed when the value of the effect process flag is "2". In this variable display performance process, the performance control CPU 120 instructs the display control unit 123 to display a performance image based on the performance control pattern set in step S171 on the display screen of the image display device 5. , driving the movable body 32 , outputting audio and sound effects from the speakers 8L and 8R by outputting a command (sound effect signal) to the audio control board 13 , and outputting a command (illumination signal) to the lamp control board 14 . Various performance controls are executed during variable display of decorative patterns, such as turning on/off/flashing the game effect lamp 9 and decorative LEDs by outputting the output. After performing such performance control, for example, a termination code indicating the end of the variable display of decorative patterns has been read from the performance control pattern, or a command has been received from the main board 11 specifying that fixed decorative patterns should be stopped and displayed. In response to what has been done, etc., the determined decorative pattern that becomes the display result of the decorative pattern is stopped and displayed. When the fixed decorative pattern is stopped and displayed, the value of the production process flag is updated to "3", and the variable display production process is completed.

The special figure hit waiting process in step S173 is a process that is executed when the value of the production process flag is "3". In this special figure winning waiting process, the performance control CPU 120 determines whether or not a performance control command has been received from the main board 11 that designates starting a jackpot game state or a small win game state. Then, when receiving a production control command that specifies the start of the jackpot game state or the small win game state, if the command specifies the start of the jackpot game state, the value of the production process flag is set to "6". ”. On the other hand, if the command specifies the start of a small win game state, the value of the performance process flag is updated to "4", which is a value corresponding to the small win performance process. In addition, if the waiting time for receiving the command elapses without receiving a command specifying the start of the jackpot game state or the small win game state, it is determined that the display result in the special drawing game is a "lose". Then, the value of the production process flag is updated to the initial value "0". When the value of the production process flag is updated, the waiting process for each special figure ends.

The small hit performance process in step S174 is a process that is executed when the value of the performance control process flag is "4". In this small win performance processing, the performance control CPU 120 sets, for example, a performance control pattern corresponding to the performance content in the small win game state, and executes various performance controls in the small win game state based on the setting content. . In addition, in the small hit production process, for example, in response to receiving a command from the main board 11 to specify ending the small win game state, the value of the production process flag is set to a value corresponding to the small win ending production. It is updated to a certain "5" and the small hit performance process is ended.

The small hit end production process in step S175 is a process that is executed when the value of the production control process flag is "5". In this small hit end performance process, the performance control CPU 120 sets a performance control pattern corresponding to the end of the small win game state, for example, and performs various performance controls at the end of the small win game state based on the setting contents. Execute. Thereafter, the value of the performance process flag is updated to the initial value "0", and the small hit end performance process is ended.

The jackpot performance process in step S176 is a process that is executed when the value of the performance process flag is "6". In this jackpot performance process, the performance control CPU 120 sets, for example, a performance control pattern corresponding to the performance content in the jackpot game state, and executes various performance controls in the jackpot game state based on the set content. In addition, in the jackpot production process, for example, in response to receiving a command from the main board 11 to specify ending the jackpot game state, the value of the production control process flag is changed to a value corresponding to the ending production process. 7” and ends the jackpot performance process.

The ending effect processing in step S177 is a process that is executed when the value of the effect process flag is "7". In this ending performance processing, the performance control CPU 120 sets a performance control pattern corresponding to the end of the jackpot game state, for example, and performs various performance controls of the ending performance at the end of the jackpot game state based on the setting contents. Execute. Thereafter, the value of the production process flag is updated to the initial value "0", and the ending production process is ended.

(Explanation regarding characteristic part 004IW)
Next, the characteristic part 004IW of this embodiment will be explained.

(Fluctuation pattern table)
FIGS. 8-1 and 8-2 are explanatory diagrams showing specific examples of variation pattern tables in the feature section 004IW. Of these, FIG. 8-1(A) shows a specific example of a variation pattern table for failures used in a low probability state. Further, FIG. 8-1(B) shows a specific example of a fluctuation pattern table for a jackpot used in a low probability state. Further, FIG. 8-2(A) shows a specific example of a variation pattern table for failures used in a high probability state. Further, FIG. 8-2(B) shows a specific example of a fluctuation pattern table for a jackpot used in a high probability state. Further, FIG. 8-1(C) shows a specific example of a fluctuation pattern table for jackpot.

In this example, as shown in FIG. 8-1(A), in the case of a failure in a low probability state, fluctuation pattern PA1-1 (normal fluctuation), fluctuation pattern PA1-2 (shortened fluctuation), fluctuation pattern PA2 -1 (normal reach), variation pattern PA2-2 (long reach), variation pattern PA2-3 (special notice + long reach), variation pattern PA2-4 (development notice + super reach A), variation pattern PA2-5 (development Notice + special notice + super reach A), variation pattern PA2-6 (development notice + special notice + super reach A), variation pattern PA2-7 (development notice + super reach B), variation pattern PA2-8 (development notice + Special notice + Super reach B), variation pattern PA2-9 (development notice + special notice + super reach B), variation pattern PA2-10 (development notice + super reach C), variation pattern PA2-11 (development notice + special notice + Super Reach C) and fluctuation pattern PA2-12 (Development Notice + Special Notice + Super Reach C).

In addition, in this example, as shown in FIG. 8-1 (B), when a jackpot occurs in a low probability state, fluctuation pattern PB2-1 (normal reach), fluctuation pattern PB2-2 (long reach), fluctuation pattern PB2 -3 (special notice + long reach), variation pattern PB2-4 (development notice + super reach A), variation pattern PB2-5 (development notice + special notice + super reach A), variation pattern PB2-6 (development notice + Special notice + Super reach A), variation pattern PB2-7 (development notice + super reach B), variation pattern PB2-8 (development notice + special notice + super reach B), variation pattern PB2-9 (development notice + special notice + Super Reach B), variation pattern PB2-10 (development notice + super reach C), variation pattern PB2-11 (development notice + special notice + super reach C), and variation pattern PB2-12 (development notice + special notice + super One of the variation patterns of reach C) is determined.

In this example, as shown in Figure 8-1, multiple types of reach effects can be executed, and the jackpot expectation increases in the order of normal reach < long reach < super reach A < super reach B < super reach C. It is configured. In addition, when super reach is executed, the development preview effect is executed at a high rate (in the example shown in Figure 8-1, the rate is 100%, but it may be less than 100%). ing. With such a configuration, it is possible to draw attention to whether or not the development preview performance will be executed, that is, whether or not it will develop into a highly anticipated super reach.

In addition, in this example, as shown in Figure 8-1, there are two cases in which either the special preview effect or the special preview effect is executed prior to long reach and super reach A to C, and the case in which neither is executed. The system is structured so that the expectation of a jackpot is higher when either the special preview performance or the special preview performance is executed (especially when the special preview performance is executed rather than the special preview performance). There is. With such a configuration, it is possible to draw attention to whether or not either the special preview performance or the special preview performance will be performed, and which one will be performed.

In this example, as shown in FIG. 8-2(A), in the case of a failure in a high probability state, fluctuation pattern PA1-1 (normal fluctuation), fluctuation pattern PA1-2 (shortened fluctuation), fluctuation pattern PA2 -1 (normal reach), variation pattern PA2-2 (long reach), variation pattern PA2-3 (special notice + long reach), and variation pattern PA2-13 (super reach D).

In addition, in this example, as shown in FIG. 8-2 (B), when a jackpot occurs in a high probability state, fluctuation pattern PB2-1 (normal reach), fluctuation pattern PB2-2 (long reach), fluctuation pattern PB2 -3 (special notice + long reach) and variation pattern PB2-13 (super reach D) is determined.

In this example, as shown in FIGS. 8-1 and 8-2, the types of super reach that can be executed are different between the low probability state and the high probability state. With such a configuration, it is possible to increase the interest in the game by providing variations in the presentation of the performance between the low probability state and the high probability state.

In this example, only super reach D is configured to be executable as a super reach in a high probability state, but the configuration is not limited to this, and multiple types of super reach may be executable. In addition, even in the high probability state, it may be possible to perform development notice performances, special notice performances, and special notice performances in the same way as in the low probability state, and in the high probability state, shortened or simplified development notice performances and special notice performances may be executed. It may also be possible to perform performances and special preview performances.

In addition, in this example, Super Reach A, Super Reach B, and Super Reach C have the same variable time (i.e., performance time), but the variable time (i.e., performance time) is not limited to this configuration, and can vary depending on the type of Super Reach. The performance time) may be different.

In addition, not limited to the examples shown in FIGS. 8-1 and 8-2, for example, a variable pattern in which a pseudo continuous effect is executed once or multiple times and then a reach effect is performed, and the number of pseudo continuous effects can be changed. The degree of expectation of a jackpot and the rate of development to a super reach with a high degree of expectation may be varied accordingly.

(Execution timing of each production during reach)
Next, the execution timing of each effect during reach will be explained with reference to FIGS. 8-3 to 8-6. FIG. 8-3 is a timing chart showing the execution timing of the effect when Super Reach A to D are executed and a jackpot is achieved. FIG. 8-4 is a timing chart showing the execution timing of effects when Super Reach A to D are executed and result in a loss. FIG. 8-5 is a timing chart showing the execution timing of the effect when the long reach is executed. FIG. 8-6 is a timing chart showing the timing of performance when the advanced notice performance, the special notice performance, the developed advance notice performance, and the special notice performance are executed.

FIG. 8-3(A) shows a timing chart when the effect is executed based on the variable pattern PB2-4 (development notice + super reach A) jackpot. The timing chart shown in FIG. 8-3(A) corresponds to explanatory diagrams showing specific examples of the development preview performance and super reach A shown in FIGS. 8-7 to 8-11, which will be described later.

As shown in FIG. 8-3(A), when the left and right decorative symbols are in the reach state, the normal reach effect in which the center ornamental pattern scrolls at a low speed is executed, and then the image display device 5 becomes white-out and the development notice effect is executed. is started (part corresponding to (4) in Figure 8-7). In the development preview performance, for example, the first ally character 004IWC01 and the second ally character 004IWC02 appear, and the word "Development" is displayed, and then the first mini-character 004IWC03 increases and decreases, and then Super Reach arrives. It is suggested that the When the development preview performance ends, super reach A starts (portion corresponding to (9) in FIG. 8-8). Super Reach A, which is a jackpot, consists of the first part (corresponding to Figure 8-8 (9) to (16)) including the introduction and promotion part, and the second part (corresponding to Figure 8-8 (9) to (16)) including the final promotion part and success/failure notification part. 8-9 (17) to FIG. 8-11 (31)). When the success/failure reporting section of Super Reach A notifies you of a jackpot (for example, when the middle decoration pattern changes from a cracked state to a normal state on the image display device 5 and the jackpot pattern is temporarily stopped and displayed), Light emission control is performed so that the decorative light emitters such as the game effect lamp 9 and the decorative LED emit rainbow-colored light. For example, at the timing *1 shown in FIG. 8-3(A), light emission control is performed in which the decorative light emitter emits rainbow colors. After that, the super reach A ends, the image display device 5 becomes white-out, and the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed.

FIG. 8-3(B) shows a timing chart when the effect is executed based on the variable pattern PB2-7 (development notice + super reach B) jackpot. The timing chart shown in FIG. 8-3(B) corresponds to explanatory diagrams showing specific examples of the development preview performance and super reach B shown in FIGS. 8-13 to 8-17, which will be described later.

As shown in FIG. 8-3 (B), when the left and right ornamental symbols reach the reach state, the normal reach effect in which the center ornamental pattern scrolls at a low speed is executed, and then the image display device 5 goes white out and the development notice effect is executed. is started (part corresponding to (4) in Figure 8-13). When the development preview performance ends, super reach B starts (portion corresponding to (9) in FIG. 8-14). Super Reach B, which is a jackpot, consists of the first part (corresponding to Figure 8-14 (9) to (16)) including the introduction and promotion part, and the second part (corresponding to Figure 8-14 (9) to (16)) including the final promotion part and success/failure reporting part. 8-15 (17) to FIG. 8-17 (32)). When the success/failure reporting section of Super Reach B notifies you of a jackpot (for example, when the central decoration pattern changes from a cracked state to a destroyed state on the image display device 5 and the jackpot pattern is temporarily stopped and displayed) ), a light emission control is performed in which the decorative light emitters such as the game effect lamp 9 and the decorative LED emit light in rainbow colors. For example, at the timing *1 shown in FIG. 8-3(B), light emission control is performed so that the decorative light emitter emits rainbow colors. After that, the super reach B ends, the image display device 5 becomes white-out, and the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed.

FIG. 8-3(C) shows a timing chart when the effect is executed based on the variable pattern PB2-10 (development notice + super reach C) jackpot. The timing chart shown in FIG. 8-3(C) corresponds to explanatory diagrams showing specific examples of the development preview performance and super reach C shown in FIGS. 8-19 to 8-23, which will be described later.

As shown in FIG. 8-3(C), when the left and right ornamental symbols reach the reach state, the normal reach effect in which the center ornamental pattern scrolls at a low speed is executed, and then the image display device 5 goes white out and the development notice effect is executed. is started (part corresponding to (4) in Figure 8-19). When the development preview performance ends, super reach C starts (portion corresponding to (9) in FIG. 8-20). Super Reach C, which becomes a jackpot, consists of the first part (corresponding to Figure 8-20 (9) to (16)) including the introduction part and promotion part, and the second part (corresponding to the final promotion part and success/failure notification part) 8-21 (17) to FIG. 8-23 (36)). When the success/failure notification section of Super Reach C notifies you of a jackpot (for example, when the image display device 5 displays the words "Complete Settlement", or displays a temporary stoppage of the middle decoration symbol or jackpot symbol that is a jackpot combination) ), a light emission control is performed in which the decorative light emitters such as the game effect lamp 9 and the decorative LED emit light in rainbow colors. For example, at the timing *1 shown in FIG. 8-3(C), light emission control is performed so that the decorative light emitter emits rainbow-colored light. After that, the super reach C ends, the image display device 5 becomes white-out, and the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed.

FIG. 8-3(D) shows a timing chart when the effect is executed based on the variable pattern PB2-13 (super reach D) jackpot. The timing chart shown in FIG. 8-3(D) corresponds to explanatory diagrams showing specific examples of super reach D in FIGS. 8-25 to 8-27, which will be described later.

As shown in Figure 8-3 (D), when the left and right ornamental symbols enter the reach state, the normal reach effect in which the center ornamental symbols scroll at a low speed is executed, and then the super reach D starts (Figure 8-25 (Part corresponding to (4)). Super Reach D, which becomes a jackpot, has a decisive button effect (corresponding to Figure 8-25 (8) to Figure 8-26 (10)) and a movable object effect (Figure 8-27 (11) to (13)). corresponding parts). When a jackpot is announced in Super Reach D (for example, when a jackpot symbol is temporarily stopped and displayed on the image display device 5), decorative light emitters such as the game effect lamp 9 and the decorative LED emit rainbow-colored light. Light emission control is performed. For example, at the timing *1 shown in FIG. 8-3(D), light emission control is performed so that the decorative light emitter emits rainbow colors. After that, the super reach D ends and the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed.

In this example, as shown in Figure 8-3, in all of Super Reach A, Super Reach B, Super Reach C, and Super Reach D, when a jackpot is achieved, a common light emitting pattern (i.e., a pattern that emits light in rainbow colors) is used. ) controls the light emission of the decorative light emitter. With this configuration, while enhancing the game's interest by making the effects different for Super Reach A, Super Reach B, Super Reach C, and Super Reach D, it is possible to suppress an increase in the amount of control data by standardizing the light emission control. be able to. Moreover, it is possible to appropriately notify that the player has won a jackpot.

In addition, in this example, the light emission control of the decorative light emitters is performed using a common light emission mode (i.e., a pattern that emits light in rainbow colors) for both types of jackpot combinations, that is, a combination of odd numbered symbols and a combination of even numbered symbols. be exposed. Furthermore, even if the same odd numbered symbols are used, they will be decorated with a common light emitting pattern (i.e., a pattern that emits rainbow colors) even when a jackpot combination of odd numbered symbols occurs, such as a combination of "1" or "3". Light emission control of the light emitter is performed. Also, even with the same even numbered symbols, for example, when a combination of "2" or "4" results in a jackpot combination of even numbered symbols, it is decorated with a common light emitting pattern (i.e., a pattern that emits light in rainbow colors). Light emission control of the light emitter is performed. With such a configuration, the light emission control during super reach can be shared, and an increase in the amount of control data can be suppressed. In the description of this characteristic part 004IW, the expression "types of decorative designs" is sometimes used, but this is not limited to those classified into odd-numbered designs and even-numbered designs; for example, even the same odd-numbered design can be classified as "1" and " There are also items that are classified based on different numbers, such as ``3''.

FIG. 8-4(A) shows a timing chart when the performance is executed based on the deviation of the variation pattern PA2-4 (development notice + super reach A). The timing chart shown in FIG. 8-4(A) corresponds to an explanatory diagram showing a specific example of the development preview performance and super reach A shown in FIGS. 8-7 to 8-9 and FIG. 8-12, which will be described later.

As shown in FIG. 8-4(A), when the left and right decorative symbols enter the reach state, the normal reach effect in which the center ornamental pattern scrolls at a low speed is executed, and then the image display device 5 goes white out and the development notice effect is executed. is started (part corresponding to (4) in Figure 8-7). When the development preview performance ends, super reach A starts (portion corresponding to (9) in FIG. 8-8). The outlier Super Reach A consists of the first part (corresponding to Figure 8-8 (9) to (16)) that includes the introduction part and the promotion part, and the second part (the part that includes the final promotion part and the success/failure notification part). (portions corresponding to FIGS. 8-9 (17) to (22) and FIGS. 8-12 (34) to (37)). When the success/failure reporting section of Super Reach A notifies you of a loss (for example, when the center decoration pattern changes from a cracked state to a broken state on the image display device 5, and a loss pattern is temporarily stopped and displayed) ), a light emission control is performed in which the decorative light emitters such as the game effect lamp 9 and the decorative LED emit low-intensity white light (portion corresponding to (37) in FIG. 8-12). For example, light emission control is performed such that the decorative light emitter emits low-intensity white light at the timing *2 shown in FIG. 8-4(A). Thereafter, the super reach A ends, the image display device 5 goes black out, and the losing symbols are stopped and displayed.

As shown in FIG. 8-4(B), when the left and right decorative symbols enter the ready-to-reach state, the normal reach effect in which the middle ornamental symbols scroll at a low speed is executed, and then the image display device 5 goes white out and the development notice effect is executed. is started (part corresponding to (4) in Figure 8-13). When the development preview performance ends, super reach B starts (portion corresponding to (9) in FIG. 8-14). The outlier Super Reach B consists of the first part (corresponding to Figure 8-14 (9) to (16)) that includes the introduction part and the promotion part, and the second part (the part that includes the final promotion part and the success/failure reporting part). (portions corresponding to FIGS. 8-15 (17) to (23) and FIGS. 8-18 (35) to (38)). When the success/failure reporting section of Super Reach B notifies you of a loss (for example, when the center decoration pattern changes from a cracked state to a normal state on the image display device 5 and a loss pattern is temporarily stopped and displayed), Light emission control is performed so that the decorative light emitters such as the game effect lamps 9 and the decorative LEDs emit low-intensity white light (portion corresponding to (38) in FIG. 8-18). For example, light emission control is performed such that the decorative light emitter emits low-intensity white light at the timing *2 shown in FIG. 8-4(B). After that, the super reach B ends, the image display device 5 goes black, and the winning symbols are stopped and displayed.

FIG. 8-4(C) shows a timing chart when the performance is executed based on the deviation of the variation pattern PA2-10 (development notice + super reach C). The timing chart shown in FIG. 8-4(C) corresponds to an explanatory diagram showing a specific example of the development preview performance and super reach C shown in FIGS. 8-19 to 8-21 and FIG. 8-24, which will be described later.

The outlier Super Reach C consists of the first part (corresponding to Figure 8-20 (9) to (16)) that includes the introduction part and the promotion part, and the second part (the part that includes the final promotion part and the success/failure reporting part). (portions corresponding to FIGS. 8-21 (17) to (24) and FIGS. 8-24 (39) to (42)). When the success/failure reporting section of Super Reach C reports that it will be a loss (for example, when the third enemy character 004IWC13 is displayed in joy on the image display device 5, or a center decoration symbol that is a loss combination is displayed), Light emission control is performed so that decorative light emitters such as the game effect lamp 9 and decorative LEDs emit low-intensity white light (portion corresponding to (42) in FIG. 8-24). For example, light emission control is performed in which the decorative light emitter emits low-intensity white light at the timing *2 shown in FIG. 8-4(C). After that, the super reach C ends, the image display device 5 goes black, and the losing symbols are stopped and displayed.

FIG. 8-4(D) shows a timing chart when the effect is executed based on the deviation of the variation pattern PA2-13 (super reach D). The timing chart shown in FIG. 8-4(D) corresponds to an explanatory diagram showing a specific example of super reach D in FIGS. 8-25 to 8-26 and FIG. 8-28, which will be described later.

As shown in Figure 8-4 (D), when the left and right ornamental symbols enter the reach state, the normal reach effect in which the center ornamental symbols scroll at a low speed is executed, and then the super reach D starts (Figure 8-25 (Part corresponding to (4)). Super reach D, which is a miss, includes a deciding button effect (portion corresponding to FIG. 8-25 (8) to FIG. 8-26 (10)). When it is reported that a loss will occur in Super Reach D (for example, when a center decoration pattern that is a loss combination is displayed on the image display device 5), the decorative light emitting bodies such as the game effect lamp 9 and the decorative LED will be turned off at low brightness. Light emission control is performed to emit white light (portion corresponding to (19) in FIG. 8-28). For example, light emission control is performed such that the decorative light emitter emits low-intensity white light at the timing *2 shown in FIG. 8-4(D). After that, the super reach D ends, the image display device 5 goes black out, and the winning symbols are stopped and displayed.

In this example, as shown in Figure 8-4, in any of Super Reach A, Super Reach B, Super Reach C, and Super Reach D, the common light emission mode (i.e., low-intensity white light emission) occurs when there is an error. The light emission control of the decorative light emitters is performed according to the pattern). With this configuration, while enhancing the game's interest by making the effects different for Super Reach A, Super Reach B, Super Reach C, and Super Reach D, it is possible to suppress an increase in the amount of control data by standardizing the light emission control. be able to. In addition, it is possible to appropriately notify that the item has been lost.

FIG. 8-5(A) shows a timing chart when the performance is executed based on the variation pattern PA2-2 (long reach). The timing chart shown in FIG. 8-5(A) corresponds to an explanatory diagram showing a specific example of long reach in FIG. 8-29, which will be described later.

As shown in FIG. 8-5(A), when the left and right decorative symbols are in the reach state, the normal reach effect in which the middle decorative symbol scrolls at a low speed is executed, and then the image display device 5 becomes white-out and the long reach is reached. (portion corresponding to (4) in Figure 8-29). When it is announced that there will be a loss in the long reach (for example, if the image display device 5 displays an effect in which a central decoration symbol that becomes a jackpot combination or an image that suggests that it will develop into a super reach is not selected), the long reach is announced. When the reach ends, the image display device 5 goes black out, and the losing symbols are stopped and displayed.

FIG. 8-5(B) shows a timing chart when the performance is executed based on the variation pattern PA2-3 (special notice + long reach). The timing chart shown in FIG. 8-5(B) corresponds to the explanatory diagrams showing specific examples of the special preview performance and long reach shown in FIGS. 8-30 to 8-31, which will be described later.

As shown in Figure 8-5 (B), when the left and right decorative symbols enter the reach state, a normal reach effect in which the center ornamental pattern scrolls at a low speed is executed, and then a special notice effect is executed (Figure 8-30 (Part corresponding to (3)). In the special preview performance, for example, a performance display is performed in which the spear image 004IWG04 penetrates the glass image 004IWG05 and the remaining broken glass image 004IWG05b is displayed at the corner of the screen. Then, long reach is started (portion corresponding to (8) in FIG. 8-30), but the remaining broken glass image 004IWG05b continues to be displayed. After that, when it is announced that there will be a loss in the long reach (for example, if the image display device 5 displays an effect in which an image that suggests a centerpiece pattern that becomes a jackpot combination or a super reach is not selected), When the long reach ends, the image display device 5 goes black out, and the losing symbols are stopped and displayed.

FIG. 8-5(C) shows a timing chart when the effect is executed based on the variation pattern PA2-3 (special notice + long reach) and the back button effect is executed during the long reach. There is. The timing chart shown in FIG. 8-5(B) corresponds to an explanatory diagram showing a specific example of the back button performance when the special preview performance and long reach are executed in FIG. 8-32, which will be described later.

As shown in FIG. 8-5(C), when the left and right ornamental symbols are in the ready-to-reach state, a normal ready-to-reach effect in which the middle ornamental symbols scroll at a low speed is performed, and then a special notice presentation is performed. When the long reach starts after the special preview effect (portion corresponding to FIG. 8-32 (1)), the remaining broken glass image 004IWG05b continues to be displayed. When the push button 31B is pressed here, a back button effect and an effect display in which the remaining broken glass image 004IWG05b falls and disappears are performed (portion corresponding to FIG. 8-32 (3)).

Note that a back button effect is a so-called button effect that is executed based on the detection of an operation of a button, etc. during the valid operation period, and means that notifications and operations that prompt the player to operate a button, etc. are effective. It is not accompanied by a notification indicating the Therefore, by providing a back button effect, it is possible to provide an enjoyable way of finding and executing an operation valid period.

In Figure 8-6 (A), the performance is executed based on the variation pattern PA2-8 (development notice + special notice + super reach B) and the variation pattern PB2-8 (development notice + special notice + super reach B). A timing chart for the case is shown. The timing chart shown in FIG. 8-6(A) corresponds to an explanatory diagram showing a specific example when the development preview performance and special preview performance shown in FIGS. 8-33 to 8-34, which will be described later, are executed.

As shown in FIG. 8-6(A), when the left and right ornamental symbols are in the reach state, the normal reach effect in which the center ornamental pattern scrolls at a low speed is executed, and then the image display device 5 becomes white-out, and the development notice effect is displayed. (portion corresponding to Figure 8-33 (1)). When the development preview performance is completed, a special preview performance is executed (portion corresponding to (4) in FIG. 8-33). In the special preview performance, for example, after the first ally character 004IWC01 and the second ally character 004IWC02 are displayed, the second mini-character 004IWC04 is displayed increasing and decreasing, and it is suggested that the super reach is started. Thereafter, super reach B is started (a portion corresponding to (9) in FIG. 8-33), but the second mini-character 004IWC04 continues to be displayed for a predetermined period after super reach B is started.

In Figure 8-6 (B), the performance is executed based on the variation pattern PA2-9 (development notice + special notice + super reach B) and the variation pattern PB2-9 (development notice + special notice + super reach B). A timing chart for the case is shown. The timing chart shown in FIG. 8-6(B) corresponds to an explanatory diagram showing a specific example when the development preview performance and special preview performance shown in FIGS. 8-35 to 8-36, which will be described later, are executed.

As shown in FIG. 8-6(B), when the left and right ornamental symbols are in the reach state, the normal reach effect in which the center ornamental pattern scrolls at a low speed is executed, and then the image display device 5 becomes white-out, and the development notice effect is displayed. (portion corresponding to Figure 8-35 (1)). Then, before the development preview performance ends (in the middle of the development preview performance), a special preview performance is started (portion corresponding to FIG. 8-35 (2)). In the special preview performance, for example, a performance display is performed in which the spear image 004IWG04 penetrates the glass image 004IWG05 and the remaining broken glass image 004IWG05b is displayed at the corner of the screen. Then, the super reach is started (a portion corresponding to (7) in FIG. 8-35), but the display of the unbroken glass image 004IWG05b continues for a predetermined period even after the start of the super reach.

In this example, the special preview performance includes the first part (for example, the part in which the spear image 004IWG04 and the glass image 004IWG05 in FIGS. 8-35 (2) to (6) are displayed) and the second part (for example, -35 (7) to Figure 8-36 (10), where the spear image 004IWG04 disappears and the remaining broken glass image 004IWG05b continues to be displayed. There is a scene where the fragment image 004IWG05a is displayed, but the light emission control of the decorative light emitters is performed using a different light emission pattern. For example, when the broken glass image 004IWG05a is displayed in the first part (timing of *1 shown in Figure 8-6(B)), the light emission is controlled according to the light emission pattern for the special preview effect, and the second part When the broken glass image 004IWG05a is displayed in the part (timing marked *2 shown in FIG. 8-6(B)), light emission control is performed using the light emission pattern for super reach. When light emission control is performed according to a light emission pattern for a special notice effect, for example, in the scenes shown in Figures 8-30 (4) to (5) and Figures 8-35 (3) to (4), the decorative light emitters are set to high brightness. blinks white at high speed, and the decorative luminous body turns off in the scenes shown in Figure 8-30 (6) and Figure 8-35 (5), and the decorative light emitter goes out in the scenes shown in Figure 8-30 (7) and Figure 8-35 (6). Control is performed so that the decorative light emitter flashes in high-intensity white at high speed in the scene. Furthermore, when light emission control is performed using the light emission pattern for Super Reach, for example, in the scenes shown in Figures 8-35 (7) to (9), the decorative luminous body emits light in a color that corresponds to the background of Super Reach. In the scenes shown in 8-35 (10) to (11), control is performed so that the decorative light emitter emits light in a color corresponding to the character. In addition, when Long Reach is executed following the special preview performance shown in Figure 8-30, for example, in the scenes shown in Figures 8-30 (8) to (9), decorative luminous bodies are displayed in the background of Long Reach. Control is performed to emit light in the corresponding color. With this configuration, the effect of the special preview performance is enhanced by displaying the broken glass image 004IWG05a, and furthermore, when the broken glass image 004IWG05a is displayed in the first and second parts of the special preview performance, By varying the light emitting patterns, it is possible to increase the interest in the game.

(Example of production)
Next, specific examples of each reach effect will be explained with reference to FIGS. 8-7 to 8-36. Note that in both figures, the screen changes in ascending order of (1), (2), and (3).

(Super reach A)
FIGS. 8-7 to 8-12 are explanatory diagrams showing specific examples of the development preview performance and super reach A. Of FIGS. 8-7 to 12, FIGS. 8-7 to 8-11 are specific examples in which the performance is executed based on the fluctuation pattern PB2-4 (development notice + super reach A) jackpot. This corresponds to the timing chart shown in 8-3(A). Of Figures 8-7 to 12, Figures 8-7 to 8-9 and Figure 8-12 show specifics of the case where the performance is executed based on the deviation of the variation pattern PA2-4 (development notice + super reach A). This is an example and corresponds to the timing chart shown in FIG. 8-4(A).

In the examples shown in FIGS. 8-7 to 8-12, after the losing symbol ("327") is displayed as the display result of the previous fluctuation display on the image display device 5 (FIG. 8-7 (1)), the fluctuation pattern PB2-4 (Advanced Preview + Super Reach A) Jackpot or variable pattern PA2-4 (Developed Preview + Super Reach A) starts a variable display based on the loss (FIG. 8-7 (2)).

Next, when the left and right decorative patterns are "1" and the reach state is reached (FIG. 8-7 (3)), the normal reach effect in which the middle decoration pattern scrolls at a low speed is executed, and then the image display device 5 whites out. , the development preview performance starts (Figure 8-7 (4)).

In the development preview performance, first ally character 004IWC01 appears (FIG. 8-7 (4)), followed by a performance display in which second ally character 004IWC02 appears (FIG. 8-7 (5)). Next, an effect display is performed in which the characters "Development" are displayed superimposed on the first ally character 004IWC01 and the second ally character 004IWC02 (FIG. 8-7 (6)). Next, the first ally character 004IWC01, the second ally character 004IWC02, and the first mini-character 004IWC03 are displayed to multiply, superimposed on the word "Development" (Figure 8-7 (7)). An effect display is performed in which the 1 mini-character 004IWC03 is displayed to fill the screen (FIG. 8-7 (8)).

After that, when Super Reach A starts, the proliferated first mini-character 004IWC03 gradually disappears (Figure 8-8 (9)), and an effect display is performed in which all the first mini-characters 004IWC03 eventually disappear ( Figure 8-8 (10)). With this configuration, it is possible to suppress the sense of discomfort when switching from the development preview performance video to the super reach video, and to make the series of flow from the development preview performance to the super reach video appear natural.

Next, an effect display is performed in which the first enemy character 004IWC12 appears to land on the ground (Figure 8-8 (11)), and the upper body of the first enemy character 004IWC12 is enlarged and corresponds to the first enemy character 004IWC12. A background image of concentric circles is displayed (Figure 8-8 (12)).

Next, the first ally character 004IWC01 and the first enemy character 004IWC12 face each other, and the characters "VS" indicating that a battle has started are displayed (FIG. 8-8 (13)).

Next, an effect display is performed in which the first ally character 004IWC01 attacks the first enemy character 004IWC12 (specifically, it outputs a beam of light from its eyes) (FIG. 8-8 (14)). At this time, the first enemy character 004IWC12 is in a state where it uses the center decoration pattern "9" (or the pattern image corresponding to the center decoration pattern "9") as a shield to prevent attacks (Figure 8-8 (14)) .

In this example, the decorative patterns are displayed in the order of "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", and after "9", the decorations are displayed again from "1". They shall be displayed in order. In the examples shown in Figures 8-7 to 8-12, the left and right decorative patterns are "1" and are in a reach mode, so the middle decorative pattern "9" displayed in Figure 8-8 (14) is This is the center decoration symbol displayed before the center ornament symbol “1” which is the jackpot symbol combination “111”.

Next, an attack from the first ally character 004IWC01 to the first enemy character 004IWC12 (specifically, a beam of light output from the eyes) penetrates the center decoration pattern "9" that was a shield and attacks the first enemy character 004IWC12. A display will be displayed that will cause damage to the player. At this time, the center decoration pattern "9" is in a destroyed state (FIG. 8-8 (15)). Then, the first enemy character 004IWC12 with an angry expression is displayed, and a background image of concentric circles corresponding to the first enemy character 004IWC12 is displayed (FIG. 8-8 (16)).

Next, an effect display is performed in which the first enemy character 004IWC12 starts an attack (specifically, a ramming) against the first ally character 004IWC01 (FIG. 8-9 (17)). Then, an effect display is performed in which a center decoration pattern "1" appears in front of the first ally character 004IWC01 (FIG. 8-9 (18)). Then, this center decoration pattern "1" becomes a shield that prevents the first enemy character 004IWC12 from attacking the first ally character 004IWC01, that is, the first enemy character 004IWC12 attacks this center decoration pattern "1" (specifically The effect is displayed (Figure 8-9 (19)).

Note that the middle decoration symbol "1" displayed in FIG. 8-9 (18) is a center ornament symbol that becomes the jackpot symbol combination "111". Therefore, if the center decoration pattern "1" displayed in Figure 8-9 (18) is protected without being destroyed, or in other words, if it is destroyed and the next center decoration pattern "2" is not displayed, it is a jackpot. It will be announced that something will happen.

When the attack by the first enemy character 004IWC12 reaches the center decoration pattern "1" (specifically, it rams the body), the center decoration pattern "1" becomes cracked (Figure 8-9 (19) ), it becomes even more cracked (Figure 8-9 (20)).

Here, details of FIG. 8-9 (20) will be explained with reference to FIG. 8-37. FIG. 8-37 is an explanatory diagram showing a specific example of a change in the inner decoration pattern in Super Reach A. At the timing of FIG. 8-9 (20), as shown in FIG. 8-37, fragment images 004IWG01a of a plurality of center decoration patterns are displayed around the cracked center decoration pattern "1". In addition, the fragment images 004IWG01a of each center decoration pattern have different aspects (for example, the color, shape, number, and scattering method of the fragments are different), and are displayed in a three-dimensional manner, so that they appear to jump out of the screen. It will be displayed as follows. With such a configuration, the sense of realism of the performance can be enhanced.

As shown in Figure 8-9 (20), when the middle decoration pattern "1" becomes cracked, the effect image that was displayed until just before is displayed with reduced brightness and saturation, and A cut-in effect is executed in which images depicting the character 004IWC01 and a plurality of first mini-characters 004IWC03 (with normal or high brightness and saturation) are displayed in a superimposed manner (FIG. 8-9 (21)). . When the image displayed by the cut-in effect is erased, the same effect display as that immediately before the cut-in effect (FIG. 8-9 (20)) is performed again (FIG. 8-9 (22)).

Then, the effect display shown in FIG. 8-9 (22) continues for 3 seconds (at a slower speed than the time immediately before the cut-in effect (FIG. 8-9 (20))). At this time, a slow motion performance is executed in which the progress speed of the performance changes from the normal speed to a speed slower than the normal speed. Specifically, an effect display is performed in which the movement speed of the broken image 004IWG01a of the center decoration displayed stereoscopically and the character is slowed down. In addition, while the slow motion effect slows down the movement speed of the fragmented image 004IWG01a of the center decoration pattern and the character, the swinging movement speed of the reach mode decorative pattern displayed at the top right of the screen and the movement (rotation, etc.) speed of the active display will slow down. It does not slow down (that is, it is not affected by slow motion effects). This slow-motion performance corresponds to the final excitement part of Super Reach, and by slowing down the progress of the performance, it draws attention to how the performance will progress, that is, whether it will progress to a performance that announces a jackpot. be able to.

In the case of fluctuation pattern PB2-4 (Development Notice + Super Reach A) jackpot, after Figure 8-9 (22), the attack from the first enemy character 004IWC12 to the first ally character 004IWC01 fails (if it becomes effective). (23)), a display is performed in which the inner decoration pattern "1" that was a shield changes from the cracked state to the normal state again without being destroyed (FIG. 8-10 (23)). In addition, an effect display is performed in which the first enemy character 004IWC12, whose attack has failed, sheds tears of frustration. In this example, light emission control in which the decorative light emitter emits rainbow-colored light is started from the scene shown in FIG. 8-10 (23). For example, in the scenes shown in Figures 8-10 (23) and (29), the decorative light emitter flashes at high speed in rainbow colors, and in the scenes shown in Figures 8-10 (24) to (28) and Figure 8-10 (30 ) ~ In the scenes shown in Figure 8-11 (33), control is performed so that the decorative light emitters emit light slowly in rainbow colors.

Next, the center decoration pattern "1", which has changed from the cracked mode to the normal mode again without being destroyed, is displayed facing forward, and the first ally character 004IWC01 is displayed with joy (Figure 8-10 (24) ). Next, a light effect image is displayed (Figure 8-10 (25)) superimposed on the previous effect display (Figure 8-10 (24)) including the first ally character 004IWC01 and the first enemy character 004IWC12, and the light effect image is displayed (Figure 8-10 (25)). The effect image is enlarged to display an effect that covers the first ally character 004IWC01 and the first enemy character 004IWC12 (FIG. 8-10 (26)). At this time, since the light effect image is non-transparent, the first ally character 004IWC01 and the first enemy character 004IWC12, which are covered, cannot be seen.

Next, after the light effect image covers the entire screen, an effect display is performed in which the jackpot symbol "111" including the center decoration symbol "1" which has changed again to the normal mode appears (FIG. 8-10 (27)) . Then, the jackpot symbol "111" is gradually enlarged and displayed (FIG. 8-10 (28)), and enlarged until it covers the entire screen (FIG. 8-10 (29)). Thereafter, the jackpot symbol "111" is displayed in the same size as when the normal fluctuation was being performed before the reach is established, and is displayed as if shaking four times (FIG. 8-10 (30)). In this example, the number of swings of the decorative symbols when the display result of the variable display is displayed is configured to vary depending on the type of super reach and the gaming state. For example, in a low probability state, the number of swings is increased for a reach with a higher expectation of a jackpot, so that at the end of the reach there is a lingering sound that corresponds to the expectation. If Super Reach C, which has a high expectation of a jackpot, is executed in a low probability state but fails, if the screen immediately changes to the normal background, it will cause stress to the player, but it is better to increase the number of swings. By giving the game a lingering aftertaste, it is possible to suppress a decline in the player's interest in the game. In addition, in a high probability state, taking into account the player's desire to play the jackpot game (or the next game) immediately, the number of swings of the decorative symbols at the end of the reach is reduced to increase the game's interest. I can do it.

Next, an effect display is performed in which the jackpot symbol "111" is temporarily hidden and the characters "Complete Settlement" are displayed (FIG. 8-11 (31)). Then, the image display device 5 whites out and Super Reach A ends, and the same background image as when the normal variation before the Reach is established is displayed, and the jackpot symbol "111" is temporarily stopped and displayed. (Figure 8-11 (32)). After that, the jackpot symbol "111" is stopped and displayed (FIG. 8-11 (33)).

If the variation pattern PA2-4 (development notice + super reach A) is off, the attack from the first enemy character 004IWC12 to the first ally character 004IWC01 becomes effective after Figure 8-9 (22), and it becomes a shield. An effect display is performed in which the center decoration pattern "1" that was being displayed is destroyed (Figure 8-12 (34)). In addition, an effect display is performed in which the first ally character 004IWC01 that has been attacked is blown away. In this example, light emission control in which the decorative light emitter emits low-intensity white light is started from the scene shown in FIG. 8-12 (34).

Next, the first enemy character 004IWC12 in the front double biceps pose is displayed in an enlarged manner (FIG. 8-12 (35)), and the center decoration pattern "1" is displayed superimposed on the first enemy character 004IWC12 (FIG. 8-12 (35)). 12(36)). Then, after the middle decoration pattern "1" which is a losing combination is displayed in a shaking manner four times, the image display device 5 goes black out (FIG. 8-12 (37)), and the super reach A ends.

When Super Reach A ends, the same background image as when the normal fluctuation was performed before the Reach is established is displayed, and the losing symbol "121" is temporarily stopped and displayed (Figure 8-12 (38)) . After that, the missed symbol "121" is stopped and displayed (FIG. 8-12 (39)).

In this example, the modes of the center decoration design are a normal mode, a destroyed mode that can be changed from the normal mode (see Figure 8-12 (34)), and a destroyed mode that can be changed from the normal mode. There is a cracked mode (see Figure 8-9 (20)), which is the mode before changing to the mode, and a super reach effect display (for example, an attack from an ally character to an enemy character, or an attack from an enemy character to an ally character). attack, etc.). In Super Reach A, when the center decoration pattern changes from the normal mode to the cracked mode and then changes to the normal mode again, the jackpot symbol is displayed (for example, Fig. 8-9 (22) to Fig. 8- 10 (corresponding to 30)). With such a configuration, by changing the mode of the center decoration pattern in accordance with the display of the Super Reach A effect, it is possible to enhance the sense of realism of the effect and to improve the interest of the game.

(Super reach B)
FIGS. 8-13 to 8-18 are explanatory diagrams showing specific examples of the development preview performance and super reach B. Of FIGS. 8-13 to 8-18, FIGS. 8-13 to 8-17 are specific examples where the performance is executed based on the fluctuation pattern PB2-7 (development notice + super reach B) jackpot. , corresponds to the timing chart shown in FIG. 8-3(B). Among Figures 8-13 to 8-18, Figures 8-13 to 8-15 and Figure 8-18 are cases in which the performance is executed based on variation pattern PA2-7 (Development notice + Super reach B). This is a specific example and corresponds to the timing chart shown in FIG. 8-4(B).

In the examples shown in FIGS. 8-13 to 8-18, after a losing symbol ("327") is displayed as the display result of the previous fluctuation display on the image display device 5 (FIG. 8-13 (1)), the fluctuation pattern PB2-7 (development preview + super reach B) jackpot or fluctuation pattern PA2-7 (development preview + super reach B) starts to display fluctuations based on the loss (FIG. 8-13 (2)).

Next, when the left and right ornamental symbols are "2" and the reach state is reached (Fig. 8-13 (3)), the normal reach effect in which the center ornamental symbols scroll at a low speed is executed, and then the image display device 5 becomes white-out. , the development preview performance starts (Figure 8-13 (4)).

In the development preview performance, first ally character 004IWC01 appears (FIG. 8-13 (4)), followed by a performance display in which second ally character 004IWC02 appears (FIG. 8-13 (5)). Next, an effect display is performed in which the characters "Development" are displayed superimposed on the first ally character 004IWC01 and the second ally character 004IWC02 (FIG. 8-13 (6)). Next, the first ally character 004IWC01, the second ally character 004IWC02, and the first mini-character 004IWC03 are displayed to multiply, superimposed on the word "Development" (Figure 8-13 (7)). An effect display is performed in which the 1 mini-character 004IWC03 is displayed so as to fill the entire screen (FIG. 8-13 (8)).

After that, when Super Reach B starts, the proliferated first mini-character 004IWC03 gradually disappears (Figure 8-14 (9)), and an effect display is performed in which all the first mini-characters 004IWC03 eventually disappear ( Figure 8-14 (10)). With this configuration, it is possible to suppress the sense of discomfort when switching from the development preview performance video to the super reach video, and to make the series of flow from the development preview performance to the super reach video appear natural.

Next, an effect display is performed in which the second ally character 004IWC02 appears to land on the ground (Figure 8-14 (11)), and the upper body of the second ally character 004IWC02 is enlarged and corresponds to the second ally character 004IWC02. A background image containing multiple star shapes is displayed (Figure 8-14 (12)).

Next, the second ally character 004IWC02 and the second enemy character 004IWC11 face each other, and the characters "VS" indicating that a battle has started are displayed (FIG. 8-14 (13)).

Next, an effect display is performed in which the second enemy character 004IWC11 attacks the second ally character 004IWC02 (specifically, a light beam is output from the fingertip) (FIG. 8-14 (14)). At this time, the second ally character 004IWC02 is in a state where it uses the center decoration pattern "9" (or the pattern image corresponding to the center decoration pattern "9") as a shield to prevent attacks (Figure 8-14 (14)) .

In addition, in the examples shown in Figures 8-13 to 8-12, the left and right decorative patterns are "2" and are in reach mode, so the middle decorative pattern displayed in Figure 8-14 (14) is "9". is the middle decoration symbol displayed two places before the middle ornament symbol ``2'', which is the jackpot symbol combination ``222''.

Next, an effect display is performed in which an attack from the second enemy character 004IWC11 to the second ally character 004IWC02 (specifically, a ray of light output from the fingertip) destroys the center decoration pattern "9" that served as a shield. At this time, the center decoration pattern "9" is in a destroyed state (FIG. 8-14 (15)). Then, the second ally character 004IWC02 is displayed in an enlarged manner, and a background image including a plurality of star shapes corresponding to the second ally character 004IWC02 is displayed (FIG. 8-14 (16)).

Next, an effect display is performed in which the second ally character 004IWC02 starts an attack (specifically, hits) the second enemy character 004IWC11 (FIG. 8-15 (17)). Then, the opposing second enemy character 004IWC11 is displayed from the front (FIG. 8-15 (18)), and an effect display is performed in which a center decoration pattern "1" appears in front of the second enemy character 004IWC11 (FIG. 8-15 (18)). 15(19)). Then, this center decoration pattern "1" becomes a shield that prevents the second ally character 004IWC02 from attacking the second enemy character 004IWC11, that is, the second ally character 004IWC02 attacks this center decoration pattern "1" (specifically 8-15 (20)).

Note that the center decoration pattern "1" displayed in FIG. 8-15 (19) is the center decoration pattern displayed one place before the center decoration pattern "2" which is the jackpot pattern combination "222". Therefore, when the center decoration symbol "1" displayed in FIG. 8-15 (19) is destroyed and the next center decoration symbol "2" is displayed, a jackpot is announced.

When the attack by the second ally character 004IWC02 reaches the center decoration pattern "1" (specifically, the fist hits), the center decoration pattern "1" becomes cracked (Figure 8-15 (20)) , it becomes even more cracked (Figure 8-15 (21)).

Here, details of FIG. 8-15 (21) will be explained with reference to FIG. 8-38. FIG. 8-38 is an explanatory diagram showing a specific example of a change in the inner decoration pattern in Super Reach B. At the timing of FIG. 8-15 (21), as shown in FIG. 8-38, fragment images 004IWG01a of a plurality of center decoration patterns are displayed around the cracked center decoration pattern "1". In addition, the fragment images 004IWG01a of each center decoration pattern have different aspects (for example, the color, shape, number, and scattering method of the fragments are different), and are displayed in a three-dimensional manner, so that they appear to jump out of the screen. It will be displayed as follows. With such a configuration, the sense of realism of the performance can be enhanced.

In this example, as shown in Figures 8-37 and 8-38, Super Reach A and Super Reach B are configured to have different forms when the inner decoration pattern becomes cracked. In addition, the structure is such that the appearance of cracking differs depending on the type of inner decoration design. FIG. 8-39 is an explanatory diagram showing a specific example of a change in a center decoration pattern depending on the type of super reach and the type of center decoration pattern. As shown in FIG. 8-39, in this example, the mode of the fragment image 004IWG01a of the center decoration pattern when the center decoration pattern is in a cracked state is configured to differ depending on the type of super reach. In the example shown in FIG. 8-39, the color, shape, number, scattering method, etc. of the fragments differ depending on the type of super reach even if they have the same inner decoration pattern "1". In addition, in this example, depending on the type of the center decoration design (for example, whether it is an odd number design or an even number design, the difference in the numbers of the center decoration design, etc.), the center decoration pattern will be in a cracked state. The design fragment images 004IWG01a are configured to have different aspects. For example, in the same type of super reach, the color, shape, number, scattering method, etc. of the pieces are different between even-numbered patterns, for example, the center decoration pattern "2" and the center decoration pattern "6". In the example shown in FIG. 8-39, when super reach A is executed, the number of fragment images of the center decoration symbol "6" displayed is larger than that of the center decoration symbol "1". With such a configuration, it is possible to give different impressions depending on the type of super reach and the type of center decoration design, and it is possible to enhance the performance effect of each. Note that the character's attack behavior is not limited to the configuration of this example, but may vary depending on the type of super reach, the presence or absence and type of effects performed before super reach, whether or not a chance-up effect is performed during super reach, etc. (For example, an attack of cutting with a sword, etc.) may be made different, and in this case, the way the decorative pattern is broken and the shape of the fragment image of the decorative pattern may be made different depending on the type of attack motion. For example, when a slashing attack is performed with a sword, the decorative pattern is split in two, and the number of fragment images of the decorative pattern displayed is smaller than when a striking attack (for example, ramming) is performed. You may do so. In addition, in this example, the center decoration design has a corresponding number drawn on the surface of a rectangular (or rectangular parallelepiped in the case of stereoscopic viewing) block, but the shape of the corresponding number itself is not expressed by the block. In that case, the center decoration pattern "6" whose block surface is wider (that is, the surface that can be broken is wider) than the center decoration pattern "1" whose block surface is narrower (that is, the surface which can be broken is narrower). In this case, the number of fragment images of the inner decoration may be displayed more.

As shown in Figure 8-15 (21), when the middle decoration pattern "1" becomes cracked, the effect image that was displayed until just before is displayed with reduced brightness and saturation, and A cut-in effect is executed in which the character 004IWC01 and an image depicting a plurality of star shapes (with normal or high brightness or saturation) are displayed in a superimposed manner (FIG. 8-15 (22)). When the image displayed by the cut-in effect is erased, the same effect display as that immediately before the cut-in effect (FIG. 8-15 (21)) is performed again (FIG. 8-15 (23)).

Then, the effect display shown in FIG. 8-15 (23) continues for 3 seconds (at a slower speed than the one immediately before the cut-in effect (FIG. 8-15 (21))). At this time, a slow motion performance is executed in which the progress speed of the performance changes from the normal speed to a speed slower than the normal speed. Specifically, an effect display is performed in which the movement speed of the broken image 004IWG01a of the center decoration displayed stereoscopically and the character is slowed down. In addition, while the slow motion effect slows down the movement speed of the fragmented image 004IWG01a of the center decoration pattern and the character, the swinging movement speed of the reach mode decorative pattern displayed at the top right of the screen and the movement (rotation, etc.) speed of the active display will slow down. It does not slow down (that is, it is not affected by slow motion effects). This slow-motion performance corresponds to the final excitement part of Super Reach, and by slowing down the progress of the performance, it draws attention to how the performance will progress, that is, whether it will progress to a performance that announces a jackpot. be able to.

Variation pattern PB2-7 (development notice + super reach B) In the case of a jackpot, after Figure 8-15 (23), the attack from the second ally character 004IWC02 to the second enemy character 004IWC11 becomes effective, and it becomes a shield. An effect display is performed in which the center ornamental pattern "1" that has been placed is destroyed (FIG. 8-16 (24)). Furthermore, an effect display is performed in which the second enemy character 004IWC11 that was attacked is blown away (FIG. 8-16 (24)). In this example, light emission control in which the decorative light emitter emits rainbow colors is started from the scene shown in FIG. 8-16 (24). For example, in the scenes shown in Figures 8-16 (24) and (30), the decorative light emitter flashes at high speed in rainbow colors, and in the scenes shown in Figures 8-16 (25) to (29) and Figure 8-16 (31). ) ~ In the scenes shown in FIG. 8-17 (34), control is performed so that the decorative light emitters emit light slowly in rainbow colors.

Next, the next center decoration pattern "2" is displayed facing forward in a normal manner, and the second ally character 004IWC02 is also displayed (FIG. 8-16 (25)). Next, a light effect image is displayed (Fig. 8-16 (26)) superimposed on the previous effect display (Fig. 8-16 (25)) including the second ally character 004IWC02 and the second enemy character 004IWC11. The effect image is enlarged to display an effect that covers the second ally character 004IWC02 and the second enemy character 004IWC11 (FIG. 8-16 (27)). At this time, since the light effect image is non-transparent, the second ally character 004IWC02 and the second enemy character 004IWC11, which are covered, cannot be seen.

Next, after the light effect image covers the entire screen, an effect display is performed in which the jackpot symbol "222" including the center ornament symbol "2" displayed in the normal manner appears (FIG. 8-16 (28)). . Then, the jackpot symbol "222" is gradually enlarged and displayed (FIG. 8-16 (29)), and enlarged until it covers the entire screen (FIG. 8-16 (30)). Thereafter, the jackpot symbol "222" is displayed in the same size as when the normal fluctuation was being performed before the reach is established, and is displayed as if shaking four times (FIG. 8-16 (31)).

Next, an effect display is performed in which the jackpot symbol "222" is temporarily hidden and the characters "Complete Settlement" are displayed (FIG. 8-17 (32)). Then, the image display device 5 whites out and Super Reach B ends, and the same background image as when the normal variation before the Reach is established is displayed, and the jackpot symbol "222" is temporarily stopped and displayed. (Figure 8-17 (33)). After that, the jackpot symbol "222" is stopped and displayed (FIG. 8-17 (34)).

If the variation pattern PA2-7 (development notice + super reach B) is off, the attack from the second ally character 004IWC02 to the second enemy character 004IWC11 will not be effective after Figure 8-15 (23), and the shield An effect display is performed in which the inner decoration pattern "1" which had become ``1'' changes from the cracked mode to the normal mode again without being destroyed (FIG. 8-18 (35)). In this example, light emission control in which the decorative light emitter emits low-intensity white light is started from the scene shown in FIG. 8-18 (35).

Next, the second enemy character 004IWC11 in a pose with both hands raised diagonally is displayed (FIG. 8-18 (36)), and the center decoration pattern "3" is displayed superimposed on the second enemy character 004IWC11 (FIG. 8-18 (36)). -18(37)). Then, after the middle decoration pattern "3" which is a losing combination is displayed in a shaking manner four times, the image display device 5 goes black out (FIG. 8-18 (38)) and the super reach B ends.

When Super Reach B ends, the same background image as when the normal fluctuation was performed before the Reach is established is displayed, and the losing symbol "232" is temporarily stopped and displayed (Figure 8-18 (39)) . After that, the missed symbol "232" is stopped and displayed (FIG. 8-18 (40)).

In this example, the modes of the center decoration design are a normal mode, a destroyed mode that can be changed from the normal mode (see Figure 8-16 (24)), and a destroyed mode that can be changed from the normal mode. There is a cracked mode (see Figure 8-15 (23)), which is the mode before the mode changes, and a super reach effect display (for example, an attack from an ally character to an enemy character, or an attack from an enemy character to an ally character). attack, etc.). In Super Reach B, a jackpot symbol is displayed when the center decoration pattern changes from a normal mode to a cracked mode and then to a destroyed mode (for example, Fig. 8-15 (23) to Fig. 8 -16 (part corresponding to 30)). With this configuration, by changing the mode of the inner decoration pattern in accordance with the Super Reach B effect display, the sense of realism of the effect can be enhanced, and the game enjoyment can be improved.

In addition, in this example, the first type of center ornament symbol (for example, an even number center ornament symbol, a center ornament symbol “2”) is destroyed during the execution of super reach B in which the left and right ornament symbols of “3” are in reach state. When the second type of center ornament symbol (for example, an odd number of center ornament symbol, middle ornament symbol “1”) is destroyed during the execution of super reach B when the left and right ornament symbols of “2” are in reach state, In this case, the light emission control of the decorative light emitter is performed using a common light emission mode (that is, a rainbow-colored light emitting pattern) (see FIG. 8-3). With such a configuration, the light emission control during super reach B can be shared, and an increase in the amount of control data can be suppressed.

In addition, in this example, when the jackpot symbol ("222") including the first center ornament symbol ("2") is displayed during the execution of Super Reach B, the jackpot symbol ("222") that includes the first center ornament symbol ("2") is displayed, The second center decoration pattern ("1") that is displayed can change from a normal mode to a destroyed mode over a predetermined period, and before the second center decoration pattern ("1") The displayed third centerpiece pattern ("9") is configured to change from a normal mode to a destroyed mode over a specific period shorter than a predetermined period. In other words, the final center decoration symbol stop inciting effect (Figures 8-15 (20) to 8-16 (24)) is the same as the last center ornament symbol stop inciting effect (Figures 8-14 (14) to (15)). ) has a longer production period. With such a configuration, the period required for the center decoration pattern to change from the normal mode to the destroyed mode can be varied, and the production effect of the super reach B can be enhanced. In addition, in this example, the center decoration pattern does not change to a cracked state in the center decoration pattern stop inciting performance immediately before the final stage, but the structure is not limited to this, and may be configured so that it changes to a cracked state. In addition, in the case of such a configuration, the cracked state of the center decoration pattern in the final center decoration pattern stop inciting performance is longer than the time that the cracked state of the center decoration pattern continues in the center decoration pattern stop inciting effect immediately before the final stage. It may be configured such that the duration of time is shorter. With such a configuration, it is possible to enhance the sense of exhilaration of the final center decoration pattern stop and excitement performance.

In addition, in this example, Super Reach B includes the first part (for example, the first part including the introduction part and promotion part of Super Reach B) and the second part (for example, the final promotion part and success/failure reporting part of Super Reach B). If a jackpot symbol ("222") including the first centerpiece symbol ("2") is displayed, the second centerpiece symbol ("2") is displayed during execution of the second part. 1") is in a destroyed state, the first center decoration pattern ("2") is displayed in an enlarged state with higher visibility than the normal state. That is, after the center decoration pattern "1" is destroyed as shown in FIG. 8-16 (24), the jackpot pattern including the center decoration pattern "2" as shown in FIG. 8-16 (30) “222” is displayed enlarged. With such a configuration, it is possible to enhance the presentation effect when the jackpot symbol is displayed.

Furthermore, in this example, the cracked aspect is an aspect in which the visibility of the center decoration pattern is lower than the normal aspect (for example, the aspect in which the center decoration pattern "1" shown in FIG. 8-15 (23) is cracked). , the destroyed mode is a mode in which the visibility of the center ornament pattern is lower than the normal mode and the cracked mode (for example, the center ornament pattern "1" shown in Fig. 8-16 (24) is destroyed). mode), after the second center decoration pattern (for example, center decoration pattern "1") is in a destroyed mode, the first center decoration pattern (for example, center decoration pattern "2") is displayed in the normal mode. (For example, see FIGS. 8-15 (23) to 8-16 (25)). With such a configuration, it is possible to make it easier to visually recognize the specific decoration identification information displayed after the special mode is set.

In addition, in this example, the second ally character 004IWC02 related to Super Reach B can be displayed as a production display of Super Reach B, and the center decoration is displayed in response to the action (attack action in this example) of the second ally character 004IWC02. The aspect of the design can be changed (for example, see FIGS. 8-15 (20) to 8-16 (24)). With such a configuration, it is possible to associate the movement of the predetermined character with the change in the form of the specific decoration identification information, and it is possible to enhance the presentation effect.

In addition, in this example, during the execution of Super Reach B, when the center decoration pattern changes from the normal mode to the cracked mode and then changes to the normal mode again, it is notified that the jackpot symbol will not be displayed (for example, 8-15 (23), see Figures 8-18 (35) to (40)). With such a configuration, it is possible to associate a change in the form of the specific decoration identification information with whether or not a specific display result is displayed, and it is possible to enhance the presentation effect.

In addition, in this example, during the execution of the second part of Super Reach B, the center decoration pattern changes from the normal mode to the cracked mode, and then over the period until it changes from the cracked mode to the destroyed mode, It is possible to display the fragment image 004IWG01a of the center decoration pattern as the center decoration pattern changes (for example, see FIG. 8-15 (23) and FIG. 8-38). With such a configuration, the sense of realism of the performance can be enhanced.

In addition, in this example, during the execution of the second part of Super Reach B, the center decoration pattern changes from a normal state to a cracked state, and then during the period until it changes from a cracked state to a destroyed state, a jackpot occurs. It is possible to execute a cut-in effect that suggests that (for example, the part where the cut-in image shown in FIG. 8-15 (22) is displayed). The execution period of the cut-in effect is shorter than the period until the center decoration pattern changes from a cracked state to a destroyed state (for example, until the center decoration pattern changes from a cracked state to a destroyed state. A cut-in effect is executed during a part of the period (see Figures 8-15 (21) to 8-16 (24)). With such a configuration, it is possible to effectively enliven the performance.

Furthermore, in this example, the second ally character 004IWC02 related to super reach B can be displayed as the effect display for super reach B, and the first ally character 004IWC01 related to super reach A can be displayed as the effect display for super reach A. During the execution of Super Reach B, the mode of the center decoration pattern can be changed in response to the movement (attack movement in this example) of the second ally character 004IWC02 (for example, the pattern shown in Figure 8-15 (20 )~Refer to Figure 8-16 (24)), during the execution of Super Reach A, the mode of the center decoration pattern can be changed in response to the actions of the first ally character 004IWC01 (in this example, attack actions and defense actions). (For example, see Figures 8-8 (14) to 8-8 (15), Figures 8-9 (22) to 8-10 (23), and Figure 8-12 (34)). With such a configuration, it is possible to diversify the presentation and improve the interest.

In addition, in this example, when the center decoration pattern changes from the normal mode to the cracked mode in the second part of Super Reach B, it is possible to execute a slow motion effect in which the progress speed of the effect is slower than the normal speed. (For example, the part where the progress speed of the performance decreases as shown in Figure 8-15 (23)), when the middle decoration changes from the normal mode to the cracked mode in the second part of Super Reach A, the slow motion The effect can be executed (for example, the part where the progress speed of the effect decreases as shown in FIG. 8-9 (22)). The execution period of the slow motion effect is the same length for Super Reach B and Super Reach A (in this example, it is performed for 3 seconds in both cases). With such a configuration, it is possible to make the performance easy to understand even though the contents of the performance are different.

In addition, in this example, in the second part of Super Reach B, when the center decoration pattern changes from the normal mode to the cracked mode and then changes to the normal mode again, it is suggested that the jackpot symbol will not be displayed (for example, 8-18 (35) to (38)),
In the second part of Super Reach A, it is suggested that the jackpot symbol will not be displayed when the center decoration pattern changes from a normal mode to a cracked mode and then to a destroyed mode (for example, in Figure 8- 12 (34) to (37)),
The lighting pattern is common between when the center decoration pattern is displayed in the normal mode again in the second part of Super Reach B, and when the center decoration pattern is displayed in a destroyed mode in the second part of Super Reach A. (that is, a pattern that emits white light with low brightness), the light emission of the decorative light emitter is controlled (see FIG. 8-4). With such a configuration, it is possible to suppress an increase in the amount of control data by making the light emission control common, while providing a variety of ways to enjoy the effects by making the effects different.

(Super reach C)
FIGS. 8-19 to 8-24 are explanatory diagrams showing specific examples of the development preview performance and super reach C. Of FIGS. 8-19 to 8-24, FIGS. 8-19 to 8-23 are specific examples where the performance is executed based on the fluctuation pattern PB2-10 (development notice + super reach C) jackpot. , corresponds to the timing chart shown in FIG. 8-3(C). Among Figures 8-19 to 8-24, Figures 8-19 to 8-21, and Figure 8-24 are cases in which the performance is executed based on the variation pattern PA2-10 (development notice + super reach C) being off. This is a specific example and corresponds to the timing chart shown in FIG. 8-4(C).

In the examples shown in FIGS. 8-19 to 8-24, after a losing symbol ("327") is displayed as the display result of the previous fluctuation display on the image display device 5 (FIG. 8-19 (1)), the fluctuation pattern PB2-10 (Development Preview + Super Reach C) Jackpot or fluctuation pattern PA2-10 (Development Preview + Super Reach C) A variable display based on the loss is started (FIG. 8-19 (2)).

Next, when the left and right decorative patterns are "1" and the state is reached (FIG. 8-19 (3)), the normal reach effect in which the middle decoration pattern scrolls at a low speed is executed, and then the image display device 5 whites out. , the development preview performance starts (Figure 8-19 (4)).

In the development preview performance, the first ally character 004IWC01 first appears (FIG. 8-19 (4)), and then the second ally character 004IWC02 appears (FIG. 8-19 (5)). Next, an effect display is performed in which the characters "Development" are displayed superimposed on the first ally character 004IWC01 and the second ally character 004IWC02 (FIG. 8-19 (6)). Next, the first ally character 004IWC01, the second ally character 004IWC02, and the first mini-character 004IWC03 are displayed to multiply, superimposed on the word "Development" (Figure 8-19 (7)). An effect display is performed in which the 1 mini-character 004IWC03 is displayed so as to fill the entire screen (FIG. 8-19 (8)).

After that, when Super Reach C starts, the proliferated first mini-character 004IWC03 gradually disappears (Figure 8-20 (9)), and an effect display is performed in which all the first mini-characters 004IWC03 eventually disappear ( Figure 8-20 (10)).

Next, an effect display is performed in which the third enemy character 004IWC13 appears to land on the ground (Figure 8-20 (11)), and then the background image is switched to a white one, and the words "Decisive Battle" are displayed in the center of the screen. (Figure 8-20 (12)). Note that the character display of "Decisive Battle" displayed in FIG. 8-20 (12) is displayed at the forefront until the timing shown in FIG. 8-20 (15).

Next, a first superimposed image in which the second ally character 004IWC02 and a plurality of star shapes are drawn is displayed on the left side, sandwiching a parallelogram area containing the words "Decisive Battle" in the center of the screen, and a third superimposed image on the right side. A second superimposed image depicting the enemy character 004IWC13 and a plurality of broken hearts is displayed (FIG. 8-20 (13)).

Next, the first superimposed image on the left and the second superimposed image on the right are moved to the center and glued together, and the characters "Decisive Battle" are superimposed and displayed on these images (FIG. 8-20 (14)) . After that, the first superimposed image on the left and the second superimposed image on the right move to their original positions, and the background image for Super Reach C is placed in the same parallelogram area as the original formed between both images. is displayed. The words "Decisive Battle" are superimposed on the background image for Super Reach C (FIG. 8-20 (15)).

Next, the first superimposed image on the left side and the second superimposed image on the right side are erased, and the background image for super reach C is displayed in the area where they were displayed. Furthermore, an effect display is performed in which the second ally character 004IWC02 and the third enemy character 004IWC13 face each other (FIG. 8-20 (16)).

Next, an effect display is performed in which the third enemy character 004IWC13 starts an attack against the second ally character 004IWC02 (FIG. 8-21 (17)). A flame effect image is displayed around the third enemy character 004IWC13 (Figure 8-21 (18)), and an effect display is performed in which a huge spherical energy bullet is formed above the head of the third enemy character 004IWC13 ( Figure 8-21 (19)).

Next, an effect display is performed in which the second ally character 004IWC02 starts an attack against the third enemy character 004IWC13 (FIG. 8-21 (20)). A flame effect image is displayed around the second ally character 004IWC02 (Figure 8-21 (21)), and an effect display is performed in which a huge energy bullet is output from above the second ally character 004IWC02 (Figure 8-21). 21(22)).

Next, an effect display is performed in which the spherical energy bullet formed by the third enemy character 004IWC13 and the energy bullet output from the second ally character 004IWC02 collide (FIG. 8-21 (23)). Next, while the effect display of energy bullets colliding in the center of the screen continues, a first superimposed image depicting the second ally character 004IWC02 and multiple star shapes is displayed in the triangular area at the bottom left of the screen, and the first superimposed image in the top right corner of the screen is displayed. A second superimposed image in which the third enemy character 004IWC13 and a plurality of broken hearts are drawn is displayed in a triangular area (FIG. 8-21 (24)).

Then, the effect display shown in FIG. 8-21 (24) continues for 4 seconds (at a slower speed than the previous one). At this time, a slow motion performance is executed in which the progress speed of the performance changes from the normal speed to a speed slower than the normal speed. Specifically, an effect display is performed that slows down the movement speed of energy bullets and characters. Note that although the slow motion effect slows down the movement speed of energy bullets and characters, the swinging movement speed of the reach mode decorative pattern displayed at the top right of the screen and the movement (rotation, etc.) speed of the active display do not slow down (i.e., slow motion). (Not subject to motion effects). This slow-motion performance corresponds to the final excitement part of Super Reach, and by slowing down the progress of the performance, it draws attention to how the performance will progress, that is, whether it will progress to a performance that announces a jackpot. be able to.

Variation pattern PB2-10 (development preview + super reach C) In the case of a jackpot, a background image with the second ally character 004IWC02 and multiple star shapes is displayed after Figure 8-21 (24) ( Figure 8-22 (25)). In this example, light emission control in which the decorative light emitter emits rainbow-colored light is started from the scene shown in FIG. 8-22 (25). For example, in the scenes shown in Figures 8-22 (25) and 8-23 (35), the decorative light emitter blinks (flashes) in rainbow colors at high speed. ), in the scenes shown in FIGS. 8-23 (36) to (38), control is performed so that the decorative light emitters emit light slowly in rainbow colors.

Next, the second ally character 004IWC02 makes a peace sign (Figure 8-22 (26)), and then the word "Complete" is displayed at the top left of the screen (Figure 8-22 (27)), and then at the top right of the screen. The characters "Zen" are displayed on the screen (Figure 8-22 (28)), the characters "Katsu" are displayed on the bottom left of the screen (Figure 8-22 (29)), and the characters "Chaku" are displayed on the bottom right of the screen (Figure 8-22). 22 (30)) are displayed in sequence. Furthermore, when all the characters of "Complete Settlement" are displayed, the center decoration symbol "1" which is a jackpot combination is displayed (FIG. 8-22 (30)).

Next, a light effect image is displayed (FIG. 8-22 (31)) superimposed on the immediately previous effect display (FIG. 8-22 (30)) including the second ally character 004IWC02 and the center decoration pattern "1", The effect image of the light is enlarged to display an effect that covers the second ally character 004IWC02 and the inner decoration pattern "1" (FIG. 8-22 (32)). At this time, since the light effect image is non-transparent, the covered second ally character 004IWC02 and the center decoration pattern "1" are not visible.

Next, after the light effect image covers the entire screen, an effect display is performed in which a jackpot symbol "111" including a center decoration symbol "1" appears (FIG. 8-23 (33)). Then, the jackpot symbol "111" is gradually enlarged and displayed (FIG. 8-23 (34)), and enlarged until it covers the entire screen (FIG. 8-23 (35)). Thereafter, the jackpot symbol "111" is displayed in the same size as when the normal fluctuation was being performed before the reach is established, and is displayed as if shaking four times (FIG. 8-23 (36)).

Then, the image display device 5 whites out and Super Reach D ends, and the same background image as when the normal variation before the Reach is established is displayed, and the jackpot symbol "111" is temporarily stopped and displayed. (Figure 8-23 (37)). After that, the jackpot symbol "111" is stopped and displayed (FIG. 8-23 (38)).

If the variation pattern PA2-10 (Development Notice + Super Reach C) is off, a background image depicting the third enemy character 004IWC13 and multiple broken hearts is displayed after Figure 8-21 (24). (Figure 8-24 (39)). In this example, light emission control in which the decorative light emitter emits low-intensity white light is started from the scene shown in FIG. 8-24 (39).

Next, an effect display is performed in which the third enemy character 004IWC13 makes a peace sign (FIG. 8-24 (40)), and furthermore, a center decoration pattern "2" is displayed superimposed on the third enemy character 004IWC13 (FIG. 8-24 (40)). -24(41)). Then, after the middle decoration pattern "2" which is a losing combination is displayed in a shaking manner five times, the image display device 5 goes black out (FIG. 8-24 (42)), and the super reach C ends.

When Super Reach C ends, the same background image as when the normal fluctuation was performed before the Reach is established is displayed, and the losing symbol "121" is temporarily stopped and displayed (Figure 8-24 (43)) . After that, the missed symbol "121" is stopped and displayed (FIG. 8-24 (44)).

In this example, during the execution of Super Reach B, the jackpot pattern can be displayed when the center decoration pattern changes from the normal mode to the cracked mode and then to the destroyed mode (for example, 8-15 (23) to 8-16 (30)), during the execution of Super Reach C, the middle decoration pattern did not change to either a cracked state or a destroyed state, Although it is possible to display the jackpot symbol (for example, as shown in Figures 8-20 (9) to 8-23 (36), the jackpot symbol "111 " is displayed), and when the jackpot symbol is displayed during Super Reach B and when the jackpot symbol is displayed during Super Reach C, the same lighting pattern (for example, a rainbow-colored It is possible to control the light emission of the decorative light emitter based on the light emission pattern (for example, see FIG. 8-3). With such a configuration, it is possible to perform super reach B that informs whether or not a jackpot will be achieved by changing the form of the center decoration pattern, while also notifying whether or not a jackpot will be achieved without changing the form of the center decoration pattern. By making it possible to execute Super Reach C, which notifies the user of the situation, the amount of control data can be reduced by making the lighting control common between Super Reach B and Super Reach C, while increasing the game's interest by creating variations in the way the performance is presented. can suppress the increase in Moreover, it is possible to appropriately notify that the player has won a jackpot.

In addition, in this example, when the center decoration changes from a normal mode to a cracked mode during the execution of the second part of Super Reach B, a slow motion effect can be executed (for example, as shown in Figure 8-15 (23)). (as shown in Figure 8-21 (24)), it is possible to perform a slow motion performance during the execution of the second part of Super Reach C (for example, as shown in Figure 8-21 (24), the progress of the performance slows down). (portion where the speed decreases), the slow motion effect executed in the second part of super reach C has a longer execution period than the slow motion effect executed in the second part of super reach B. Specifically, the performance period of the slow motion performance in the second part of Super Reach C is 4 seconds, while the performance period of the slow motion performance in the second part of Super Reach B is 3 seconds (Fig. 8-15 (23), see Figure 8-21 (24)). With such a configuration, the degree of attention to the second part of Super Reach B and the second part of Super Reach C can be increased.

In addition, in this example, when the jackpot symbol is not displayed during the execution of the second part of Super Reach B, it is possible to display the center decoration symbol in the normal mode (for example, the part corresponding to Fig. 8-18 (35) ), when the jackpot symbol is not displayed during the execution of the second part of Super Reach C, it is possible to display the center decoration symbol in the normal mode (for example, the part corresponding to Figure 8-24 (41)), and the super When the jackpot symbol was not displayed during the execution of the second part of Reach B, the center decoration symbol of the normal mode was displayed, and when the jackpot symbol was not displayed during the execution of the second part of Super Reach C. Sometimes, it is possible to control the light emission of the decorative light emitters using a common light emission mode (i.e., a low-intensity white light emission pattern) when the inner decoration pattern in the normal mode is displayed (for example, in FIG. 8-18 (1-38) and the part corresponding to Figure 8-24 (42) (see Figure 8-4). With this configuration, it is possible to appropriately notify that the jackpot symbol has not been displayed, and it is possible to suppress an increase in the amount of control data by sharing the light emission control between Super Reach B and Super Reach C. I can do it.

Moreover, in this example, the execution period of the second part of super reach C is configured to be longer than the second part of super reach B. For example, the execution period of the slow motion effect (Figure 8-15 (23), Figure 8-21 (24)), the period from the battle victory until the jackpot symbol is displayed at the time of jackpot (Figure 8-16 (24) ~ (28), Figure 8-22 (25) to Figure 8-23 (33)), period from when the wrong symbol is displayed until the normal background screen returns (Figure 8-18 (35) to (38)) , FIG. 8-24 (39) to (42)) are configured to be longer. With such a configuration, it is possible to improve the presentation effect of Super Reach C, which has a high degree of expectation.

In addition, in this example, while it is possible to display the middle decoration design in both the first part of super reach B and the second part of super reach B, the middle decoration design is displayed in the first part of super reach C. (For example, the part corresponding to FIG. 8-20 (9) to (16)), it is possible to display the middle decoration symbol in the second part of Super Reach C (for example, at the display timing of the jackpot symbol) (for example, , parts corresponding to Figures 8-21 (17) to (36)). With such a configuration, it is possible to diversify the presentation and improve the effect of each presentation.

In addition, in this example, when the jackpot symbol is displayed during the execution of the second part of Super Reach B, after the center ornament symbol becomes a destroyed state, what is the center ornament symbol that became a destroyed state? Different center decoration patterns are displayed in an enlarged mode with higher visibility than the normal mode (for example, the parts corresponding to Figures 8-16 (24) to (30)), and a jackpot is achieved during the execution of the second part of Super Reach C. When the design is displayed, the middle decoration design is not displayed in a destroyed manner, but is displayed in an enlarged manner (for example, the portion corresponding to FIG. 8-22 (25) to FIG. 8-23 (35)) . With such a configuration, it is possible to diversify the presentation and improve the effect of each presentation.

Furthermore, in this example, when a jackpot symbol is displayed in the second part of Super Reach B or the second part of Super Reach C, common text information can be displayed after the jackpot symbol is displayed (for example, in Figure 8- 17 (32), the characters ``complete settlement'' are displayed as shown in Figure 8-22 (30)). With such a configuration, it is possible to appropriately notify the performance results even though the content of the performance is different.

In addition, in this example, when the jackpot symbol is not displayed during the execution of the second predetermined part of Super Reach B, it is possible to display the middle decoration symbol in the normal mode, and when the jackpot symbol is displayed during the execution of the second predetermined part of Super Reach C, the jackpot symbol can be displayed. When the symbol is not displayed, it is possible to display the center decoration symbol in the normal mode, and when the jackpot symbol is not displayed during the execution of the second part of Super Reach B, the center ornament symbol in the normal mode is displayed. , it is possible to perform a predetermined number of predetermined movements (four shaking movements in this example) (for example, the part corresponding to Figure 8-18 (38)), and the jackpot symbol is executed during the execution of the second part of Super Reach C. The normal mode (four times in this example) that is displayed when is not displayed allows a special number of predetermined operations (swaying motion five times in this example) to be performed more than the predetermined number of times (for example, (portion corresponding to Figure 8-24 (42)). With such a configuration, it is possible to diversify the presentation and improve the effect of each presentation.

(Super reach D)
FIGS. 8-25 to 8-28 are explanatory diagrams showing specific examples of super reach D. Of FIGS. 8-25 to 8-28, FIGS. 8-25 to 8-27 are specific examples in which the performance is executed based on the fluctuation pattern PB2-13 (Super Reach D) jackpot, and FIG. This corresponds to the timing chart shown in -3(D). Of FIGS. 8-25 to 8-28, FIGS. 8-25 to 8-26 and FIG. 8-28 are specific examples in which the effect is executed based on fluctuation pattern PA2-13 (super reach D). This corresponds to the timing chart shown in FIG. 8-4(D).

In the example shown in FIGS. 8-25 to 8-28, after the losing symbol ("327") is displayed as the display result of the previous variation display on the image display device 5 (FIG. 8-25 (1)), the variation pattern PB2-13 (Super Reach D) jackpot or fluctuation pattern PA2-13 (Super Reach D) starts to display fluctuations based on the loss (FIG. 8-25 (2)). In addition, in the high probability state where Super Reach D is executed, a background image different from that in the low probability state is used, and a display instructing to hit right and a display indicating the remaining number of fluctuations controlled by the high probability state are displayed. be exposed.

Next, when the left and right decorative symbols are "2" and the state is reached (FIG. 8-25 (3)), a normal reach effect in which the center decorative symbols scroll at a low speed is executed, and then a super reach D is started. When Super Reach D starts, the second ally character 004IWC02 and the first enemy character 004IWC12 face each other, and the characters "VS" are displayed to indicate that a battle has begun (Figure 8-25 (4) )).

Next, an effect display is performed in which the second ally character 004IWC02 attacks (specifically, attacks) the first enemy character 004IWC12 (FIG. 8-25 (5)). In addition, an effect display is performed in which the first enemy character 004IWC12 attacks (specifically, rams) the second ally character 004IWC02 (FIG. 8-25 (6)). Then, an effect display is performed in which the attack of the second ally character 004IWC02 (specifically, the fist that strikes) and the attack of the first enemy character 004IWC12 (specifically, the shoulder that rams) collide (Figure 8-25 (7)).

At this point, the decisive button effect is started, and the effect display that was displayed until just before is switched to a screen in which the ally character 004IWC01 and the push button image 004IWG03 imitating the push button 31B are displayed faintly (Figure 8-25 (8) )). That is, an effect display prompting the user to operate the push button 31B is started. Then, the ally character 004IWC01 and the push button image 004IWG03 are gradually displayed darker (Figure 8-26 (9)), and the characters "Press!" and the display indicating the operation validity period are additionally displayed (Figure 8-26 (9)). 8-26(10)).

In the case of a jackpot in variation pattern PB2-13 (super reach D), when the operation of the push button 31B is detected, a radial pattern background image is displayed (FIG. 8-27 (11)). In this example, light emission control in which the decorative light emitter emits rainbow colors is started from the scene shown in FIG. 8-27 (11). For example, in the scenes shown in Figures 8-27 (11) to (12) and (15), the decorative luminous body flashes in rainbow colors at high speed, and in the scenes shown in Figures 8-27 (13) to (14), (16 ) to (17), the decorative light emitting body is controlled to emit light slowly in rainbow colors.

Next, a movable body performance is performed in which the movable body 32 moves from the initial position to a performance position in front of the image display 5 (FIG. 8-27 (12)). At the same time, an effect display is performed in which the background image of the radiation pattern appears to be broken (FIG. 8-27 (12)). Next, the movable body 32 is controlled to return from the performance position to the initial position, and a performance display is performed in which the background image of the radial pattern is broken and the jackpot symbol "222" appears further behind the background image (FIG. 8- 27(13)). Note that when the background image of the radial pattern is broken, multiple fragment images are displayed, but since these fragment images have low transparency, the player cannot see through the fragment images images displayed on a lower layer than the fragment images. Can not.

Next, an effect display is performed so that the appearing jackpot symbol "222" moves from the back side of the screen (that is, behind the background image of the radial pattern) to the front side (Figure 8-27 (14)), and eventually the radial pattern The jackpot symbol "222" that has broken through the background image is enlarged and displayed so as to cover the entire screen (Figure 8-27 (15)).

Next, the jackpot symbol "222" is displayed in the same size as when the normal fluctuation was being performed before the reach is established, and is displayed as if swinging twice (FIG. 8-27 (16)). After that, the jackpot symbol "222" is stopped and displayed (FIG. 8-27 (17)). In this example, when the jackpot symbol "222" is enlarged and displayed, it is displayed together with a fragmented image of the background image of the radial pattern to express the appearance of breaking through and increase the sense of reality. 222'' is displayed in the same size as when the normal fluctuation is being performed before the reach is established, the fragment image is completely faded out so as not to reduce the visibility of the jackpot pattern.

If the variation pattern PA2-13 (super reach D) is off, when the operation of the push button 31B is detected, a broken glass image is displayed together with a background image of broken glass (Fig. 8-28 (18) ). The broken glass image displayed here is the broken glass image when the radial pattern background image shown in Figure 8-27 (13) is broken, and the broken glass image in the special preview performance shown in Figure 8-30 (5). They are smaller and fewer in number than the image. Next, after the broken glass image has finished fading out (that is, after it has all been erased), the centerpiece design "3" is displayed superimposed on the background image (FIG. 8-28 (19)). Then, after the middle decoration pattern "3" which is a losing combination is displayed in a swinging manner twice, the image display device 5 goes black out and the super reach D ends. In this example, light emission control in which the decorative light emitter emits low-intensity white light is started from the scene shown in FIG. 8-28 (18).

When Super Reach D ends, the same background image as when the normal fluctuation was performed before the Reach is established is displayed, and the losing symbol "232" is temporarily stopped and displayed (Figure 8-28 (20)) . After that, the missed symbol "232" is stopped and displayed (FIG. 8-28 (21)).

In this example, during the execution of Super Reach B, the jackpot pattern can be displayed when the center decoration pattern changes from a normal mode to a cracked mode and then to a destroyed mode (for example, Fig. 8-15 (23) to the part corresponding to Figure 8-16 (30)), during the execution of Super Reach D, the jackpot symbol is displayed without changing to either a destroyed or cracked state. Although it is possible (for example, as shown in FIGS. 8-25 (4) to 8-27 (17), the jackpot symbol is displayed without the effect of changing the mode of the center decoration symbol), When the jackpot symbol is displayed during the execution of Super Reach B and when the jackpot symbol is displayed during the execution of Super Reach D, the decorative luminous body is It is possible to control light emission (see Figure 8-3). With such a configuration, it is possible to perform super reach B that informs whether or not a jackpot will be achieved by changing the form of the center decoration pattern, while also notifying whether or not a jackpot will be achieved without changing the form of the center decoration pattern. By making it possible to execute Super Reach D, which notifies the user of the situation, the game can be more interesting by providing variations in the way the effects are shown in the low probability state and the high probability state. By sharing light emission control, it is possible to suppress an increase in the amount of control data.

In addition, in this example, when super reach B is executed and the jackpot symbol is displayed, the movable body effect is not executed in the second part of super reach B and the jackpot symbol is displayed (for example, in Figure 8-16 ( 25)), when Super Reach D is executed and a jackpot symbol is displayed, the jackpot symbol is displayed after the movable body effect is executed in the second part of Super Reach D (for example, Fig. 8- 27(12)). With such a configuration, the presentation mode when displaying the jackpot symbol can be made different between the second part of super reach B and the second part of super reach D, thereby increasing the interest in the game.

In addition, in this example, when the jackpot symbol is not displayed during the execution of the second part of Super Reach B, the center decoration symbol in the normal mode can be displayed (for example, see Figures 8-4 and 8-18). , when the jackpot symbol is not displayed during the execution of the second part of Super Reach D, it is possible to display the center decoration symbol in the normal mode (for example, see Figures 8-4 and 8-28), and Super Reach B When the jackpot symbol is not displayed during the execution of the part, the normal mode center decoration symbol is displayed, and when the jackpot symbol is not displayed during the execution of the second part of Super Reach D, the normal mode It is possible to control the light emission of the decorative light body using a common light emission mode (that is, a low-intensity white light emission pattern) when the inner decoration pattern is displayed (for example, in Figure 8-18 (38 ) and Figure 8-28 (19) (see Figure 8-4). With such a configuration, it is possible to appropriately notify that the jackpot symbol has not been displayed, and by sharing the light emission control between Super Reach B and Super Reach D, it is possible to suppress an increase in the amount of control data.

Furthermore, in this example, while it is possible to display the centerpiece pattern in both the first and second parts of super reach B, the centerpiece pattern is not displayed in the first part of super reach D (for example, FIG. -25 (4) - As shown in Figure 8-26 (10), the middle decoration symbol is not displayed), the middle ornament symbol can be displayed in the second part of Super Reach D (for example, at the display timing of the jackpot symbol). (For example, it is possible to display center decoration patterns as shown in FIGS. 8-27 (11) to (16) and FIGS. 8-28 (18) to (20)). With such a configuration, it is possible to make the performance modes different between super reach B and super reach D, thereby increasing the interest in the game.

In addition, in this example, in the second part of Super Reach B, the jackpot symbol is displayed without executing the decisive button effect (for example, see Figures 8-15 and 8-16), and in the second part of Super Reach D, the jackpot symbol is displayed. After the winning button effect is executed, jackpot symbols are displayed (for example, the portions corresponding to (11) to (16) in FIG. 8-27). With such a configuration, it is possible to make the performance modes different between super reach B and super reach D, thereby increasing the interest in the game.

In addition, in this example, when the jackpot symbol is displayed during the execution of Super Reach B, after the center ornament symbol is destroyed in the second part of Super Reach B, the center ornament symbol is more visible than in the normal mode. It can be displayed in an enlarged manner with enhanced functionality (for example, the parts corresponding to Figures 8-16 (24) to (30)), and when a jackpot symbol is displayed during the execution of Super Reach D, Super Reach D During the execution of the second part of the process, the center decoration pattern can be displayed in an enlarged manner (for example, the part corresponding to FIG. 8-27 (15)). With such a configuration, it is possible to appropriately notify that a jackpot has been won even though the content of the performance is different.

In addition, in this example, when the jackpot symbol is not displayed during the execution of the second part of Super Reach B, the center decoration symbol in the normal mode is a predetermined number of predetermined movements (in this example, four shaking movements). ) can be executed (for example, the part corresponding to Figure 8-18 (38)), and the inner decoration of the normal mode is displayed when the jackpot symbol is not displayed during the execution of the second part of Super Reach D. The symbol is capable of performing a predetermined motion (swinging motion three times in this example) a specific number of times less than the predetermined number of times (for example, the part corresponding to FIG. 8-28 (19)). With such a configuration, it is possible to make the performance modes different between super reach B and super reach D, thereby increasing the interest in the game.

Not limited to the configuration shown in this example, when a jackpot symbol is displayed in the second part of Super Reach B or the second part of Super Reach D, common character information (for example, "Complete Settlement (For example, similar to Figure 8-17 (32), the second part of Super Reach D shown in Figure 8-27 may also display the characters ``Full settlement''). ). With such a configuration, it is possible to appropriately notify that a jackpot has been won even though the content of the performance is different.

(Long reach)
FIG. 8-29 is an explanatory diagram showing a specific example of long reach. FIG. 8-29 is a specific example of a case where the effect is executed based on the variation pattern PA2-2 (long reach), and corresponds to the timing chart shown in FIG. 8-5(A).

In the example shown in FIG. 8-29, after the losing symbol ("327") is displayed as the display result of the previous fluctuation display on the image display device 5 (FIG. 8-29 (1)), the fluctuation pattern PA2-2 (long A variable display based on the deviation (reach) starts (Figure 8-29 (2)).

Next, when the left and right ornamental symbols are "2" and the reach state is reached (FIG. 8-29 (3)), a normal reach effect in which the middle ornamental symbols scroll at a low speed is executed, and then a long reach is started. When the long reach starts, the first ally character 004IWC01 is displayed and a plurality of options 004IWG02 are displayed (FIG. 8-29 (4)). The plurality of choices 004IWG02 includes a plurality of choices imitating enemy characters that suggest that the middle decoration symbol that will be a miss will stop, and an option that suggests that the center decoration symbol “2” that will be a jackpot will stop. It will be done. In addition, not limited to the configuration in this example, if there is a variation pattern that develops from long reach to super reach, options such as "opportunity", "strong SP", and "extreme heat" that suggest development to super reach are provided. etc. may be included.

Next, an effect display is performed in which a plurality of options 004IWG02 rotate (FIG. 8-29 (5)). Then, when the first ally character 004IWC01 shoots the option with the light beam output from its eyes (Fig. 8-29 (6)), the shot option is displayed in a frame called TARGET (Fig. 8-29 (6)). 29(7)). In the example shown in FIG. 8-29 (7), since the option modeled after the enemy character is shot and displayed within the TARGET frame, it is suggested that the missing centerpiece pattern will stop.

After that, the image display device 5 goes black out, and the long reach ends. When the long reach ends, the same background image as when the normal variation was performed before the reach is established is displayed, and the losing symbol "212" is stopped and displayed (FIG. 8-29 (8)).

(Special notice + long reach)
FIGS. 8-30 and 8-31 are explanatory diagrams showing specific examples of special preview effects and long reach. Figures 8-30 and 8-31 are specific examples of the case where the effect is executed based on the variation pattern PA2-3 (special notice + long reach), and the timing chart shown in Figure 8-5 (B) corresponds to

In the example shown in FIGS. 8-30 and 8-31, after a losing symbol ("327") is displayed as the display result of the previous fluctuation display on the image display device 5 (FIG. 8-30 (1)), the fluctuation pattern PA2-3 (Special Notice + Long Reach) starts to display a variable display based on the deviation (Figure 8-30 (2)).

Next, the left and right decorative symbols are "2" and the player is in a reach state. When the special preview effect starts here, the spear image 004IWG04 appears from the bottom right of the screen (FIG. 8-30 (3)). Then, the screen is switched to a black background image, and an effect display is performed in which the spear image 004IWG04 moves from the lower right of the screen toward the center of the screen and collides with the glass image 004IWG05 (FIG. 8-30 (4)).

Next, an effect display is performed in which the spear image 004IWG04 penetrates the glass image 004IWG05 (FIG. 8-30 (5)). At this time, as the glass image 004IWG05 is broken, a plurality of glass fragment images 004IWG05a and a broken glass image 004IWG05b remaining at the corner of the screen are displayed (FIG. 8-30 (5)).

In this example, the time from when the glass image cracks until it completely breaks in the special preview performance (e.g., corresponds to Figure 8-30 (4) to (5)), and the time from when the background image cracks to completely breaks in Super Reach D, The structure is such that the time required for it to break (for example, corresponding to (12) to (13) in FIG. 8-27) is different. Specifically, the display of the glass image breaking in the special preview performance is performed before the success or failure is announced, so the time from cracking to complete breaking is set to be short, with emphasis on showing the performance at a good tempo. On the other hand, the background image cracking display in Super Reach D is performed when a jackpot is announced, so the emphasis is on making the player enjoy the jackpot, so the cracks are first caused by the movement of the movable body, and then , complete cracking occurs as the movable body 32 returns to its origin. In addition to this configuration, the display speed of the fragmented image of the glass image in the special preview performance (that is, the moving speed when fading out of the screen) is different from the display speed of the fragmented image of the background image in Super Reach D. It may be configured so that For example, in order to increase the feeling of exhilaration at the time of jackpot notification, the display speed of the fragment image of the background image in Super Reach D may be made faster than the display speed of the fragment image of the glass image in the special preview performance. Furthermore, when a broken image of the glass image is displayed in the special preview performance, a light emission control is performed in which the decorative light emitter flashes in high-intensity white at high speed, whereas in Super Reach, the broken image of the background image is displayed. When the decorative light emitter is illuminated in rainbow colors, light emission control is performed.

The multiple glass fragment images 004IWG05a all disappear at the timing shown in Figure 8-30 (6), but the broken glass image 004IWG05b that remains in the corner of the screen is due to the start of long reach after the special preview effect. will continue to be displayed. In this example, the broken glass image 004IWG05b remaining in the corner of the screen is continuously displayed until the long reach ends. The broken glass image 004IWG05b remaining in the corner of the screen is displayed on a layer higher than other effect images and background images, but because it has high transparency, other effects displayed on the lower layer can be seen through the glass image 004IWG05b. Images and background images can be visually recognized.

Next, an effect display is performed in which the spear image 004IWG04 that has penetrated the glass image 004IWG05 collides with the second glass image 004IWG06 that exists on the back side of the glass image 004IWG05 (FIG. 8-30 (6)). Then, as the second glass image 004IWG06 is broken, a plurality of second glass fragment images 004IWG06a are displayed (FIG. 8-30 (7)).

Next, when the long reach starts, an effect display is performed in which a plurality of options 004IWG02 appear together with the first ally character 004IWC01 on the back of the plurality of second glass shard images 004IWG06a (FIG. 8-30 (8)). . Although not shown in this example, between the scene in Figure 8-30 (7) and the scene in Figure 8-30 (8), whiteout occurs in a layer lower than the layer in which the fragment image is displayed. (i.e., both the debris image and the whiteout are visible from the player's perspective), and then the black background image is switched to the super reach background image.

Next, the plurality of second glass fragment images 004IWG06a gradually disappear (FIG. 8-31 (9), (10)), and an effect display in which the plurality of options 004IWG02 rotate is performed (FIG. 8-31 (11)). . Then, when the first ally character 004IWC01 shoots the option with the light beam output from its eyes (Figure 8-31 (12)), the shot option is displayed in a frame called TARGET (Figure 8-31 (12)). 31(13)). In the example shown in FIG. 8-31 (13), an option imitating an enemy character is shot and displayed within the TARGET frame, suggesting that the missing centerpiece pattern will stop.

After that, the image display device 5 goes black out, and the long reach ends. When the long reach ends, the same background image as when the normal fluctuation was performed before the reach is established is displayed, and the losing symbol "212" is stopped and displayed (FIG. 8-31 (14)).

(back button effect)
FIG. 8-32 is an explanatory diagram showing a specific example of a back button performance when a special notice performance and a long reach are executed. FIG. 8-32 is a specific example where the effect is executed based on the variation pattern PA2-3 (special notice + long reach) and the back button effect is executed during the long reach. This corresponds to the timing chart shown in C). In this example, the back button performance is a performance that can be executed regardless of whether or not a special notice performance is executed, and the player's actions (for example, repeated hits or long presses of the push button 31B) during the back button performance period during long reach. When this is detected, the decorative light emitting body emits light in a light emission pattern corresponding to the back button effect, rather than in a light emission pattern corresponding to long reach. There are multiple types of light emission patterns that correspond to the back button effect, and the degree of jackpot expectation is suggested depending on the type of light emission pattern. When the special notice effect and long reach shown in Figure 8-32 are executed, if a player movement is detected within the back button effect period, the broken remaining glass image 004IWG05b displayed at the corner of the screen will fall and disappear. Along with the display, an effect is started in which the decorative light emitting body emits light in a light emission pattern corresponding to the back button effect.

In the example shown in FIG. 8-32, a broken remaining glass image 004IWG05b is displayed in the corner of the screen as a result of the special preview effect, and a plurality of second glass fragment images 004IWG06a are also displayed, and long reach is started after the special preview effect. will continue to be displayed. When the long reach is started, an effect display is performed in which a plurality of choices 004IWG02 appear together with the first ally character 004IWC01 on the back of the plurality of second glass fragment images 004IWG06a (FIG. 8-32 (1)).

Next, an effect display is performed in which the plurality of second glass fragment images 004IWG06a gradually disappear and the plurality of options 004IWG02 rotate (FIG. 8-32 (2)). When the operation of the push button 31B is detected here, the broken remaining glass image 004IWG05b displayed at the corner of the screen falls along with the back button effect (i.e., the effect in which the decorative light emitter emits light in a light emission pattern corresponding to the back button effect). An effect display is performed in which the image disappears after a while (Fig. 8-32 (3)). Even while the effect display in which the glass image 004IWG05b falls and disappears is performed, the effect display in which the plurality of options 004IWG02 rotate continues to be performed (FIG. 8-32 (4)).

(Development preview performance and special preview performance)
FIGS. 8-33 and 8-34 are explanatory diagrams showing specific examples of the case where the advanced notice effect and the special notice effect are executed. In Figures 8-33 and 8-34, the effects are executed based on the variation pattern PA2-8 (development notice + special notice + super reach B) or the variation pattern PB2-8 (development notice + special notice + super reach B) This is a specific example of a case in which the timing chart is used, and corresponds to the timing chart shown in FIG. 8-6(A).

In the example shown in FIGS. 8-33 and 8-34, after the left and right decorative symbols are "2" and the ready-to-reach state is reached, the image display device 5 goes white out and the development preview effect is started (FIG. 8 -33(1)).

In the development preview performance, first ally character 004IWC01 appears (FIG. 8-33 (1)), and then a performance display in which second ally character 004IWC02 appears (FIG. 8-33 (2)) is performed. Next, an effect display is performed in which the characters "Development" are displayed superimposed on the first ally character 004IWC01 and the second ally character 004IWC02 (FIG. 8-33 (3)).

Next, when the special preview effect starts, a first panel image with the first ally character 004IWC01 and a plurality of rectangles drawn in the background gradually appears from the bottom of the left side of the screen, and a second panel image appears from the bottom of the right side of the screen. An effect display is performed in which a second panel image in which the ally character 004IWC02 and a plurality of star shapes are drawn in the background gradually appears (FIG. 8-33 (4)). Then, when the entire first panel image and second panel image are displayed (Figure 8-33 (5)), the text "Let's go!" is displayed superimposed on the first panel image and second panel image. is displayed (Figure 8-33 (6)).

The second mini-character 004IWC04 is displayed as if it were to proliferate, superimposed on the first panel image, the second panel image, and the characters "Let's go!" (Figure 8-33 (7)), and soon the second mini-character that had proliferated. An effect display is performed in which the character 004IWC04 is displayed so as to fill the screen (FIG. 8-33 (8)).

After that, when Super Reach (Super Reach B in this example) starts, the proliferated second mini-character 004IWC04 gradually disappears (Figure 8-34 (9)), and eventually all the second mini-characters 004IWC04 disappear. An effect display is performed (FIG. 8-34 (10)). Then, an effect display is performed in which the second ally character 004IWC02 appears to land on the ground (FIG. 8-34 (11)).

(Development preview performance and special preview performance)
FIGS. 8-35 and 8-36 are explanatory diagrams showing specific examples when the development preview performance and the special preview performance are executed. In Figures 8-35 and 8-36, the effects are executed based on the variation pattern PA2-9 (development notice + special notice + super reach B) or the variation pattern PB2-9 (development notice + special notice + super reach B) This is a specific example of a case in which the timing chart is used, and corresponds to the timing chart shown in FIG. 8-6(B).

In the example shown in FIGS. 8-35 and 8-36, after the left and right decorative symbols are "2" and the state is reached, the image display device 5 goes white out and the development preview effect is started.

In the development preview performance, a first ally character 004IWC01 appears and then a second ally character 004IWC02 appears (FIG. 8-35 (1)).

Here, when the special preview effect is started, the spear image 004IWG04 appears from the bottom right of the screen (FIG. 8-35 (2)). Then, the screen is switched to a black background image, and an effect display is performed in which the spear image 004IWG04 moves from the lower right side of the screen toward the center of the screen and collides with the glass image 004IWG05 (FIG. 8-35 (3)).

Next, an effect display is performed in which the spear image 004IWG04 penetrates the glass image 004IWG05 (FIG. 8-35 (4)). At this time, as the glass image 004IWG05 is broken, a plurality of glass fragment images 004IWG05a and a broken glass image 004IWG05b remaining at the corner of the screen are displayed (FIG. 8-35 (4)).

The multiple glass fragment images 004IWG05a all disappear at the timing shown in Figure 8-35 (5), but the broken glass image 004IWG05b that remains in the corner of the screen is due to the super reach starting after the special preview effect. will continue to be displayed. In this example, the broken glass image 004IWG05b remaining in the corner of the screen continues to be displayed until the character appears in the super reach. The broken glass image 004IWG05b remaining in the corner of the screen is displayed on a layer higher than other effect images and background images, but because it has high transparency, other effects displayed on the lower layer can be seen through the glass image 004IWG05b. Images and background images can be visually recognized.

Next, an effect display is performed in which the spear image 004IWG04 that has penetrated the glass image 004IWG05 collides with the second glass image 004IWG06 that exists on the back side of the glass image 004IWG05 (FIG. 8-35 (5)). Then, as the second glass image 004IWG06 is broken, a plurality of second glass fragment images 004IWG06a are displayed (FIG. 8-35 (6)).

Next, when the super reach (in this example, super reach B) is started, an effect display is performed in which the background of the plurality of second glass fragment images 004IWG06a is switched to the background image for super reach (FIG. 8-35). 7)). Although not shown in this example, between the scene in Figure 8-35 (6) and the scene in Figure 8-35 (7), whiteout occurs in a layer lower than the layer in which the fragment image is displayed. (i.e., both the debris image and the whiteout are visible from the player's perspective), and then the black background image is switched to the super reach background image.

Next, a display is performed in which the plurality of second glass fragment images 004IWG06a gradually disappear (FIG. 8-35 (8)), and eventually all the second glass fragment images 004IWG06a disappear, leaving a broken glass image in the corner of the screen. Only 004IWG05b is displayed (Figure 8-36 (9)).

Next, when the second ally character 004IWC02 lands on the ground, an effect display is performed in which the broken remaining glass image 004IWG05b at the corner of the screen falls and disappears (FIGS. 8-36 (10) and (11)). In the example shown in Figures 8-35 and 8-36 in which the super reach is executed after the special performance notice is executed, in the scene shown in Figure 8-36 (11), the left and right decorative symbols "2" are displayed in the upper right corner of the screen. “2↓2” is displayed, with “2↓2” being the reach mode. In this example, if a super reach is executed without a special performance notice being executed, "2↓2" with the left and right decorative symbols in the reach mode is displayed at the top right of the screen from the start of the super reach. However, if the super reach is executed after the special notice effect is executed, in order not to reduce the effect of the special notice effect (for example, cracked glass image), as shown in Figure 8-36 (11). At the right time, "2↓2" is displayed in the upper right corner of the screen, with the left and right ornamental symbols of "2" in a reach mode.

In this example, when the special preview effect is executed, a special display (second mini-character 004IWC04 in this example) can be displayed (for example, as shown in Figures 8-33 (7) to 8-34 (9)). Corresponding portion), when the special preview effect is executed, a special display (in this example, the broken remaining glass image 004IWG05b) can be displayed (for example, Fig. 8-35 (3) to Fig. 8-36 (10)) ). Then, the super reach (super reach B in this example) is executed after the special display is displayed along with the execution of the special notice effect (for example, the super reach B starts at the timing shown in Figure 8-34 (9)). ) is executed after the special display is displayed along with the execution of the special preview performance (for example, Super Reach B starts at the timing shown in FIG. 8-35 (7)). In addition, as mentioned above, in this example, there are cases in which either the special preview performance or the special preview performance is executed, or the cases in which neither is performed, and either the special preview performance or the special preview performance is executed. The system is configured such that the expectation level of a jackpot is higher when the special preview performance is executed (especially when the special preview performance is executed rather than the special preview performance). With such a configuration, it is possible to draw attention to whether the special preview performance or the special preview performance is executed before the execution of the super reach, and also to draw attention to whether the special preview performance or the special preview performance is executed. The appearance of the super reach can be made different, and the interest in the game can be increased.

In addition, in this example, when a special preview effect is executed, a special display (in this example, the second mini-character 004IWC04) can be displayed together with the decorative pattern of the ready-to-reach mode (e.g., corresponding to Fig. 8-33 (7)). 8-35 (4 ). With such a configuration, the performance effect of the special preview performance can be enhanced.

Furthermore, in this example, the special display is continuously displayed for a special period after the start of Super Reach (Super Reach B in this example) (for example, the special display continues from the start of Super Reach B until Character B appears). The parts corresponding to Figures 8-35 (7) to 8-36 (10)) and the special display (second mini-character 004IWC04 in this example) are super reach (super reach B in this example). During execution, it is displayed continuously for a period shorter than the special period (for example, it is displayed for a period from the start of Super Reach B until before character B appears. The part corresponding to Figure 8-34 (9) ). With such a configuration, the display period of the special display and the display period of the special display can be made different, thereby increasing the interest in the game.

Additionally, in this example, a character related to Super Reach can be displayed as a super reach effect display, and a special display (in this example, the broken remaining glass image 004IWG05b) can be hidden in response to the character's action. This is possible (for example, the display of the broken glass image 004IWG05b ends in response to the movement of the second ally character 004IWC02 landing on the ground; the portion corresponding to (10) in FIG. 8-36). With such a configuration, it is possible to associate successive performances to improve the performance effects of each other.

In addition, in this example, when a special preview effect is executed before the execution of long reach, a special display (in this example, the broken remaining glass image 004IWG05b) is displayed along with the execution of the special preview effect. It is executed later (for example, the unbroken glass image 004IWG05b is displayed (FIG. 8-30 (5)), and then long reach is started (FIG. 8-30 (8))). Then, a special display is continuously displayed for a predetermined period after the long reach starts (for example, the broken remaining glass image 004IWG05b is displayed until the timing shown in FIG. 8-31 (13) when the long reach ends). . On the other hand, if a special preview effect is executed before the execution of Super Reach, the special display will continue to be displayed for a shorter period than the predetermined period after Super Reach starts (for example, Super Reach B The broken remaining glass image 004IWG05b is displayed from the start until the second ally character 004IWC02 appears (portion corresponding to FIG. 8-35 (7) to FIG. 8-36 (10)). With this configuration, the display period of the special display can be varied depending on the performance executed after the special preview performance, and the interest in the game can be increased.

In addition, in this example, during the long reach execution period, the back button effect can be executed for a special period shorter than the predetermined period after the long reach starts (for example, the back button effect can be executed until just before the final inciting part of the long reach). When a special preview effect is executed, and then a long reach is executed, When the back button effect is executed, it is possible to hide the special display (in this example, the broken remaining glass image 004IWG05b) (for example, the part corresponding to FIG. 8-32(3)). With such a configuration, it is possible to improve the interest in the game.

Furthermore, in this example, the special preview performance or the special preview performance can be executed after the development preview performance has started, and the special preview performance can be executed after the development preview performance has ended (for example, as shown in FIG. 8-6(A) ), the special preview performance is started before the end of the advanced preview performance (for example, see FIG. 8-6(B)). With such a configuration, the start timing can be made different for each performance, and the interest can be improved.

In addition, in this example, when the development preview performance is executed, the development display (in this example, the first mini-character 004IWC03) can be displayed, and in Super Reach, the development display is displayed as the development preview performance is executed. It is executed later (for example, see Figures 8-3, 8-13 to 8-14), and if a special display (in this example, the second mini-character 004IWC04) is displayed in the super reach, the development in the super reach If the display of the display is restricted (for example, see Figures 8-33 to 8-34) and a special display (in this example, the broken glass image 004IWG05b) is displayed in the super reach, Display of the development display is restricted (for example, see FIGS. 8-35 to 8-36). With such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the performance from becoming complicated.

Furthermore, in this example, the glass fragment image 004IWG05a accompanying the display of the glass image 004IWG05 and the broken remaining glass image 004IWG05b is displayed more often than the fragment image 004IWG01a of the center decoration pattern accompanying the display of the center decoration pattern (for example, 8-35 (4), see FIG. 8-39), the fragment image 004IWG01a of the center decoration pattern that is displayed when the first center decoration pattern (for example, the center decoration pattern “4”) is displayed; The display mode differs from the fragment image 004IWG01a of the center decoration pattern that is displayed when the second center decoration pattern (for example, “1”) is displayed (for example, the fragment image 004IWG01a). They differ in color, shape, number, scattering method, etc. (See Figure 8-39). With this configuration, the fragmented image 004IWG01a of the center decoration pattern and the broken glass image 004IWG05a enhance the production effects of the super reach and the special notice performance, and furthermore, when the fragmented image 004IWG01a of the center decoration pattern is displayed. By differentiating the presentation from the presentation when the broken glass image 004IWG05a is displayed, it is possible to increase the interest in the game.

Further, in this example, the broken glass image 004IWG01a is displayed over the first period, and the broken glass image 004IWG05a is displayed over the second period, which is shorter than the first period. For example, the moving display of the broken glass image 004IWG05a is faster than the moving display of the broken glass image 004IWG01a, and stays on the screen for a shorter period of time (the part corresponding to (24) in Figure 8-16, -35(4)). With such a configuration, the display period can be made different between the broken image 004IWG01a of the inner decoration pattern and the broken glass image 004IWG05a, thereby increasing the interest in the game.

In addition, in this example, a super reach effect display (for example, a background image of super reach B) can be displayed together with the inner decoration pattern, and a super reach effect display (for example, a background image of super reach B) can be displayed together with the broken remaining glass image 004IWG05b. ), and the center decoration pattern can be displayed with a higher display priority than the super reach effect display (for example, the center decoration pattern 004IWG01 has a higher display priority than the background image of super reach and can be displayed in the upper layer. ), and the remaining broken glass image 004IWG05b can be displayed with a higher display priority than the Super Reach production display (for example, the remaining broken glass image 004IWG05b has a higher display priority than the background image of Super Reach B (displayed in a layer), the super reach effect display cannot be seen through the inner decoration pattern, while the effect display of a predetermined effect can be seen through the broken remaining glass image (for example, Fig. 8-15 (19) As shown in ~(23), the background image cannot be seen through the inner decoration pattern 004IWG01, while as shown in Figures 8-35 (7) ~ Figure 8-36 (9), the background image cannot be seen through the broken glass image 004IWG05b. image is visible). With this configuration, the remaining broken glass image 004IWG05b can provide variation in how the Super Reach effect is displayed, thereby increasing the interest in the game.

Furthermore, in this example, a character related to super reach (for example, the second ally character 004IWC02) can be displayed as a super reach effect display, and the fragment image 004IWG01a of the center decoration pattern can be displayed by the character acting on the center decoration pattern. is displayed. Specifically, when the second ally character 004IWC02 hits the center decoration pattern, the fragment image 004IWG01a of the center decoration pattern is displayed (see FIG. 8-15 (23) and FIG. 8-38). With such a configuration, it is possible to make the presentation display relevant and to enhance the presentation effect.

In addition, in this example, when a super reach is executed without a special notice effect being executed, multiple decorative patterns in the reach mode can be displayed from the start of the super reach (for example, as shown in FIG. 8-14 (9)). ), when a special preview effect is executed and a super reach is executed, multiple reach modes are displayed after a predetermined period of time has elapsed from the start of the super reach (for example, the period until the second ally character 004IWC02 appears). (For example, the portions corresponding to FIGS. 8-35 (7) to 8-36 (11)) can be displayed. With such a configuration, the mode of performance can be varied depending on whether or not there is a special preview performance, and it is possible to improve interest.

Furthermore, in this example, the spear image 004IWG04 can be displayed before the special display (in this example, the broken remaining glass image 004IWG05b) as a special preview effect display, and the spear image 004IWG04 can be displayed at the first display position (in this example, the remaining broken glass image 004IWG05b). It is possible to move the display from the lower right position of the screen) to the second display position (in this example, the center position of the screen), and when displaying the spear image 004IWG04 at the first display position, a special display is displayed. It is possible to display a suggestive display (for example, a black background image) suggesting that a broken glass image 004IWG05a and a broken glass image 004IWG05b are displayed when the spear image 004IWG04 is displayed at the second display position. (For example, the parts corresponding to FIGS. 8-35 (2) to (4)). With such a configuration, the sense of realism of the performance can be enhanced.

Furthermore, in this example, even when the special display (in this example, the broken remaining glass image 004IWG05b) is hidden, the broken glass image 004IWG05a can be displayed (for example, the part corresponding to FIG. 8-36 (10)) . With such a configuration, the sense of realism of the performance can be enhanced.

Further, in this example, it is possible to display a plurality of glass fragment images 004IWG05a, each of which has a different display mode (for example, see FIG. 8-35 (4)). With such a configuration, the sense of realism of the performance can be enhanced.

In addition, in this example, the special preview effect includes the first part (for example, the part where the spear image 004IWG04 and the glass image 004IWG05 are displayed) and the second part (for example, the spear image 004IWG04 disappears and the remaining broken glass image 004IWG05b continues). In the first part, the first special display (in this example, the spear image 004IWG04) and the second special display (in this example, the broken remaining glass image 004IWG05b) can be displayed. In the first part, in conjunction with displaying the second special display, it is possible to display a special related display (in this example, the broken glass image 004IWG05a) that imitates at least a part of the second special display. , in the second part, it is possible to hide the first special display while continuing to display the second special display (for example, corresponding to Figures 8-35 (7) to 8-36 (9) In the second part, a special related display can be displayed at the timing when the second part ends (for example, the part corresponding to Figure 8-36 (10)), and the first part and the second part The appearance of the special related display is different (for example, the part corresponding to Figure 8-35 (4) and the part corresponding to Figure 8-36 (10)), and the special related display is displayed in the first part. It is possible to control the light emission of the decorative light emitters with different light emission patterns depending on when the special related display is displayed in the second part and when the special related display is displayed in the second part (for example, corresponding to FIG. 8-35 (4) part and the part corresponding to Figure 8-36 (10) (see Figure 8-6 (B) *1 *2). With this configuration, the special related display can enhance the production effect of the special preview performance, and furthermore, the light emission pattern when the special related display is displayed can be made different between the first part and the second part of the special preview performance. This can increase the interest in the game.

In addition, in this example, the execution period of the special preview effect overlaps at least in part with the execution period of the super reach (for example, see Figure 8-6 (B)), and the special related display (in this example, the broken glass image 004IWG05a) ) is displayed in the first part of the special preview performance in response to the action of the character (in this example, the spear image 004IWG04) related to the special preview performance (for example, the part corresponding to FIG. 8-35 (4)). , in the second performance part of the special preview performance, is displayed corresponding to the action of the character related to Super Reach (in this example, the second ally character 004IWC02) (for example, the part corresponding to FIG. 8-36 (10) ). With this configuration, the display pattern of the special related display (in this example, the broken glass image 004IWG05a) can be made different between the first part and the second part of the special preview performance, thereby increasing the interest in the game.

Furthermore, in this example, in the first part of the special preview performance, it is possible to display a special related display (in this example, the broken glass image 004IWG05a) moving at the first speed (for example, as shown in FIG. 8-35 (4)). ), in the second presentation part, it is possible to move and display the special related display at a second speed different from the first speed (for example, a speed slower than the first speed) (for example, FIG. -36 (10)). With such a configuration, the way the special related display is presented is different between the first part and the second part of the special preview performance, thereby increasing the interest in the game.

In this example, either Super Reach A or Super Reach B can be executed after the special preview performance is executed, and the execution period of the special preview performance is the execution period of Super Reach A or the execution period of Super Reach B. (for example, see Figure 8-6(B)), and the special related display (in this example, the broken glass image 004IWG05a) is displayed in the first part of the special preview performance. In the example, it is displayed in response to the action of the spear image 004IWG04) (for example, the part corresponding to Figure 8-35 (4)), and in the second part of the special preview production, the first ally character 004IWC01 related to Super Reach A is displayed. Alternatively, it is displayed in response to the action of the second ally character 004IWC02 related to Super Reach B (for example, the portion corresponding to (10) in FIG. 8-36). With such a configuration, it is possible to associate the special preview performance with the super reach A or the super reach B, and it is possible to enhance the performance effects of each other.

Furthermore, in this example, a plurality of special related displays (in this example, the broken glass image 004IWG05a) can be displayed in the first part of the special preview performance, a plurality of special related displays can be displayed in the second part, and a plurality of special related displays can be displayed in the second part. Among the plurality of special related displays displayed in one part, the first special related display and the second special related display have different display modes, and among the plurality of special related displays displayed in the second part, the third special related display The display mode and the fourth special related display are different in display mode, and the display mode of the first special related display is different from the display mode of the third special related display, and the display mode of the fourth special related display is different from the display mode of the second special related display. The display mode of the special related display is different from the display mode of the third special related display, and also different from the display mode of the fourth special related display. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8-35 (4) and FIG. 8-36 (10), a plurality of glass fragment images 004IWG05a are displayed in each case, but each one has a different aspect. With such a configuration, it is possible to enhance the presentation effect of the special related display.

Note that the configuration shown in this example is not limited, and the special display (in this example, the second mini-character 004IWC04) is a non-stereoscopic (2D) display (for example, a display that appears non-stereoscopically). ), the special display (in this example, the broken glass image 004IWG05b) may be a stereoscopic (3D) display (for example, a display that appears to be three-dimensional) may be used. With such a configuration, it is possible to vary the performance mode and improve the interest.

For example, the special preview effect includes a first aspect that suggests that Super Reach B will be executed (for example, an aspect in which the second ally character 004IWC02 appears), and a second aspect that suggests that Super Reach A will be executed. It can be executed depending on the mode (for example, the mode in which the first ally character 004IWC01 appears), and when the special preview effect of the first mode is executed and when the special preview effect of the second mode is executed, It may be possible to display a special display of a common aspect. For example, the common second mini-character 004IWC04 may be displayed both when the first ally character 004IWC01 appears as a special preview effect and when the second ally character 004IWC02 appears. With such a configuration, it is possible to perform a variety of special preview performances, and it is possible to increase interest.

Furthermore, for example, both of the center decoration pattern fragment image 004IWG01a and the glass fragment image 004IWG05a may be displayed in stereoscopic vision (3D). For example, an expression that appears three-dimensional may be displayed. With such a configuration, the sense of realism of the performance can be enhanced.

Furthermore, for example, it may be possible to display the broken image 004IWG01a of the center decoration pattern and the broken glass image 004IWG05a in a predetermined direction (for example, the Z-axis direction). For example, an expression may be displayed that moves from the front side of the screen in the depth direction. With such a configuration, the sense of realism of the performance can be enhanced.

Furthermore, for example, it is possible to move and display the fragment image 004IWG01a of the center decoration pattern in a predetermined direction (for example, the Z-axis direction) at a normal speed, and when a slow motion effect is executed, the center decoration pattern The fragment image 004IWG01a may be moved and displayed in a predetermined direction at a speed slower than the normal speed. With such a configuration, the sense of realism of the performance can be enhanced.

Further, for example, the specially related display (in this example, the broken glass image 004IWG05a) is displayed stereoscopically (e.g., 3D) in both the first part and the second part (e.g., a three-dimensional representation). display). With such a configuration, the sense of realism of the performance can be enhanced.

Furthermore, for example, in the first part of the special preview performance, it is possible to display the special related display (in this example, the broken glass image 004IWG05a) moving in the first direction (for example, the Z-axis direction). Displaying an expression that moves from the front side of the screen in the depth direction), and in the second part, displaying a special related display moving in a second direction different from the first direction (for example, the Y-axis direction) (For example, displaying an expression such as movement in the vertical direction) may be possible. With this configuration, it is possible to make the special related display look different and increase the interest in the game.

For example, the spear image 004IWG04 displayed in the first part of the special preview performance may be made to move faster than the ally character displayed in the first part, or the spear image 004IWG04 displayed in the first part of the special preview performance may be The special related display may be displayed more vigorously (displayed at a faster moving speed) than the special related display displayed in the second part of the special preview performance. With this configuration, it is possible to make the special related display look different and increase the interest in the game.

Here, light emitting effect drawing including whiteout in the image display device 5 mentioned in FIG. 8-7 (3), FIG. 8-13 (3), FIG. 8-19 (3), and FIG. 8-29 (3) The functions will be explained based on the principle diagrams shown in FIGS. 8-40 to 11-46.

First, as shown in FIG. 8-40(A), the display control unit 123 controls the first decorative pattern drawing screen (virtual plane) on which the right decorative pattern 037SG105R and the left decorative pattern 037SG105L are drawn, and the central It has a second decorative pattern drawing surface (virtual plane) on which the decorative pattern 037SG105C is drawn in the virtual space, and the drawing position of the decorative pattern is vertical on the first decorative pattern drawing surface or the second decorative pattern drawing surface. By sequentially changing downward in the direction (Y direction), a variable display image of the decorative pattern is drawn.

Furthermore, as for the first decorative pattern drawing surface and the second decorative pattern drawing surface, as shown in FIG. 8-40(A), the second decorative pattern drawing surface has a higher virtual depth Z0 than the first decorative pattern drawing surface. is located a virtual distance ahead. Therefore, if the central decorative pattern 037SG105C and the right decorative pattern 037SG105R or left decorative pattern 037SG105L are displayed overlappingly, the right decorative pattern 037SG105R or left decorative pattern 037SG105L is visually recognized by the central decorative pattern 037SG105C. An image is generated in which the images are occluded. Also, if a decorative pattern of the same size as the right decorative pattern 037SG105R and the left decorative pattern 037SG105L is drawn on the second decorative pattern drawing screen, only the central decorative pattern 037SG105C becomes larger and all three decorative patterns are aligned. However, in this example, in order to prevent this unnaturalness from becoming a display, the second decoration is set so that the sizes of the three decorative designs are almost the same. The size of the image of the central decorative pattern 037SG105C drawn on the pattern drawing surface is adjusted and drawn.

Therefore, the display control unit 123 can calculate the position of each decorative pattern in the virtual space from the first decorative pattern drawing screen or the second decorative pattern drawing screen and the drawing position of each decorative pattern on each of these drawing screens. .

Therefore, when actually using the light emitting effect drawing function, for example, as shown in Figure 8-40, by specifying the coordinates (X1, Y1, Z1) of the single light source 037SG105K in virtual space, the specified coordinates A light emitting effect image when the single light source 037SG105K is located at (X1, Y1, Z1) is automatically drawn and displayed by the display control unit 123 through simulation.

Note that the X coordinate corresponds to the horizontal position of the image display device 5, the Y coordinate corresponds to the vertical position of the image display device 5, and the Z direction corresponds to the longitudinal direction (depth direction) in the virtual space. This corresponds to the position (see Figure 8-40).

Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 8-40(A), in a state where three decorative patterns are lined up at the center position of the image display device 5, the central decorative pattern 037SG105C is used as the coordinates of the single light source 037SG105K. If you specify the coordinates (X1, Y1, Z1) of a position directly behind the first decorative pattern drawing surface that is Z1 backwards, the specified coordinates (X1, Y1, Z1) in the virtual space will be In a situation where a single light source is arranged, the light is emitted from the single light source 037SG105K based on the positional relationship between the position of the single light source 037SG105K and each decorative pattern drawn on the first decorative pattern drawing surface or the second decorative pattern drawing surface. How the light is blocked by each decorative pattern and how it wraps around the front side of each decorative pattern is simulated as shown by the broken line in Figure 8-40 (A). As a result, as shown in FIG. 8-40(B), a light emitting effect image 037SG105E in which radial light is slightly visible from the periphery of the central decorative pattern 037SG105C is drawn and displayed.

Also, as the coordinates of the single light source 037SG105K, as shown in FIG. 8-41(A), the coordinates ( X2, Y1, Z1), that is, the coordinates horizontally moved to the left from the aforementioned coordinates (X1, Y1, Z1), the first decorative pattern is drawn as shown in Figure 8-41 (B). Since the distance between the surfaces is Z1 as in the case shown in Figure 8-40, a light emitting effect image 037SG105E is drawn in which a slight radial light is visible from the periphery of the left decorative pattern 037SG105L, as in Figure 8-40. displayed. The luminous effect image 037SG105E is a luminous effect image 037SG105E in which the brightness is higher as it approaches the center and decreases as it approaches the edge, and the size of the entire image (distance from the effect center to the outer edge of the effect) is is approximately the same size as the light emitting effect image 037SG105E in FIG. 8-40, which is separated by Z1 backward from the first decorative pattern drawing surface.

In addition, as the coordinates of the single light source 037SG105K, as shown in FIG. 8-42(A), the coordinates of the position directly above the central decorative pattern 037SG105C and a distance of Z1 backward from the first decorative pattern drawing surface are (X1, Y2, Z1), that is, if you specify the coordinates vertically moved directly above from the coordinates (X1, Y1, Z1) mentioned above, the center decoration will be displayed as shown in Figure 8-42 (B). A light emitting effect image 037SG105E showing a state in which the light emitted from the single light source 037SG105K is visible without being obstructed by the pattern 037SG105C is drawn and displayed. The luminous effect image 037SG105E is a luminous effect image 037SG105E in which the brightness is higher as it approaches the center and decreases as it approaches the edge, and the size of the entire image (distance from the effect center to the outer edge of the effect) is is approximately the same size as the light emitting effect image 037SG105E in FIG. 8-40, which is separated by Z1 backward from the first decorative pattern drawing surface.

Also, as the coordinates of the single light source 037SG105K, as shown in Figure 8-43(A), the coordinates of a position close to the first decorative pattern drawing surface and Z2 away from the first decorative pattern drawing surface (X1, Y1, Z2), that is, if you specify the coordinates that have been moved from the coordinates (X1, Y1, Z1) mentioned above to approach the central decorative pattern 037SG105C without changing the vertical and horizontal positions, As shown in 8-43(B), the entire image is a larger luminous effect image 037SG105E than when the distance from the first decorative pattern drawing surface is Z1, and the single light source 037SG105K is the same as the left decorative pattern 037SG105L. By approaching the decorative pattern 037SG105R on the right, the light also wraps around in front of the decorative pattern 037SG105L on the left and the decorative pattern 037SG105R on the right, making their outlines unclear, while the single light source 037SG105K is located directly behind them. For the decorative pattern 037SG105C in the center, which has a larger distance from the single light source 037SG105K than the decorative pattern 037SG105L on the left and the decorative pattern 037SG105R on the right, the light emitting effect image 037SG105E has less wraparound to the front and a clear outline. is drawn and displayed. Note that the overall brightness of the light emitting effect image 037SG105E is also higher than that of the light emitting effect image 037SG105E when the above-described Z coordinate is Z1, due to the proximity of the single light source 037SG105K.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 8-44(A), the coordinates of the single light source 037SG105K are a position in front of the first decorative pattern drawing surface and the second decorative pattern drawing surface, and from the first decorative pattern drawing surface. If you specify the coordinates (X1, Y1, -Z3) of a position Z3 away from the front, the light will be emitted from the single light source 037SG105K by the left, middle, and right decorative patterns, as shown in Figure 8-44 (B). The light emitting effect image 037SG105E in which strong light is not obstructed, and the light emitting effect image 037SG105E has a large overall image size and very high brightness is drawn and displayed on almost the entire display area of the image display device 5. be done. At this time, the left, middle, and right decorative patterns arranged behind the single light source 037SG105K are all rendered invisible by the light emitting effect image.

As described above, in this example, by specifying the coordinates of the single light source 037SG105K, the light emitting effect image 037SG105E corresponding to the specified coordinates is automatically drawn by the light emitting effect drawing function of the display control unit 123. By sequentially changing (moving) these specified coordinates in chronological order, a light emitting effect image 037SG105E corresponding to the movement of the single light source is drawn and displayed. However, even if the specified coordinates are the same, these light emitting effect drawing functions, as shown in Figure 8-45 (A), for example, the central decorative pattern drawn on the second decorative pattern drawing screen. It is possible to draw and display a light emitting effect image 037SG105E corresponding to the scroll movement of 037SG105C downward by variable display.

Specifically, when the central decorative pattern 037SG105C that scrolls is drawn in a position overlapping a single light source, the light from the single light source is drawn onto the central decorative pattern 037SG105C, as shown in FIG. 8-45(B). When an occluded light emitting effect image (similar to FIG. 8-40(B)) is drawn and displayed, and the scrolling central decoration pattern 037SG105C is drawn in a position that does not overlap the single light source 037SG105K, the image shown in FIG. 45(C), a light emitting effect image is drawn and displayed in which the light emitted from the single light source can be visually recognized without being obstructed by the central decorative pattern 037SG105C. In addition, in FIG. 8-45, although the central decorative pattern 037SG105C has been explained as an example, the same applies to the right decorative pattern 037SG105R and the left decorative pattern 037SG105L.

As described above, in the highly functional display control unit 123 used in this example, by specifying the coordinates of a single light source in the virtual space, the light emitting effect image 037SG105E is created when the single light source 037SG105K is located at the specified coordinates. is automatically generated and displayed, so in actual production, the coordinates of the single light source 037SG105K at the time when the process data is executed are added to the process data described in chronological order for executing the production. By describing this, a light emitting effect image 037SG105E corresponding to the coordinates of the single light source 037SG105K described in the process data is automatically generated, combined with other effect images, and displayed on the image display device 5. That will happen.

Next, the variable display and display mode of the light emitting effect image 037SG105E in this example will be explained based on FIG. 8-46.

First, when a variable display is executed in a super reach variation pattern, etc., as shown in Figures 8-46(A) and 8-46(B), when a variable display of decorative symbols is executed for a predetermined period. On the display screen of the image display device 5, in a state where the normal background image 5a is displayed, the left decorative pattern 037SG105L and the right decorative pattern 037SG105R, which show the same number, stop and become a reach. Then, the display of the light emitting effect image 037SG105E is started behind the central decorative pattern 037SG105C where variable display is still being executed. Then, as the variable display progresses, the display area of the light emitting effect image 037SG105E on the display screen of the image display device 5 is gradually expanded, and the luminance increases.

At this time, as shown in FIGS. 8-46(C) and 8-46(D), a part of the light emitting effect image 037SG105E is The central decorative pattern 037SG105C is displayed moving (variably displayed) from above to below, and the display mode changes as the variable display progresses.

Furthermore, a part of the light emitting effect image 037SG105E is between the plurality of central decorative patterns 037SG105C, between the left decorative pattern 037SG105L and the central decorative pattern 037SG105C, and between the right decorative pattern 037SG105R and the central decorative pattern 037SG105C. The upper and lower parts of each central decorative pattern 037SG105C, the right part of the left decorative pattern 037SG105L, and the left side of the right decorative pattern 037SG105R, as well as diffraction between them and reflections on the back of the central decorative pattern 037SG105C. It is displayed twice in the section.

Further, as the variable display progresses and the display area of the light emitting effect image 037SG105E on the image display device 5 is expanded and the brightness increases, the brightness of the pedestal portion 037SG105D in each decorative pattern 037SG105L, 037SG105C, 037SG105R changes to the light emitting effect The brightness decreases due to backlighting by the image 037SG105E, and then the brightness of the number display portion 037SG105S in each decorative pattern 037SG105L, 037SG105C, and 037SG105R decreases. Then, as shown in FIG. 8-46(E), when the light emitting effect image 037SG105E on the display screen of the image display device 5 is further enlarged, the entirety of each decorative pattern 037SG105L, 037SG105SGC, and 037SG105R finally becomes black. As a result, the divisions of the pedestal section 037SG105D and the number display section 037SG105S become invisible to the player.

More precisely, when the light emitting effect image 037SG105E on the display screen of the image display device 5 is enlarged and displayed to the rear position of the left decorative pattern 037SG105L and the right decorative pattern 037SG105R, first, the left decorative pattern 037SG105L and the right decorative pattern are displayed. As the brightness of the pedestal part 037SG105D of the pattern 037SG105R decreases, the outlines of the left decorative pattern 037SG105L and the right decorative pattern 037SG105R become emphasized by the light emitting effect image 037SG105E. Furthermore, when the light emitting effect image 037SG105E is enlarged and displayed to the left of the left decorative pattern 037SG105L and to the right of the right decorative pattern 037SG105R, the brightness of the number display section 037SG105S of the left decorative pattern 037SG105L and the right decorative pattern 037SG105R changes. The brightness of the decorative pattern 037SG105L on the left and the decorative pattern 037SG105R on the right turn black, and the brightness of the pedestal 037SG105D of the central decorative pattern 037SG105C decreases, and the outline of the central decorative pattern 037SG105C becomes a luminous effect. The state is emphasized by image 037SG105E. Then, when the light emitting effect image 037SG105E is further enlarged and is displayed in almost the entire display area, the brightness of the number display section 037SG105S of the central decorative pattern 037SG105C decreases, and the entire central decorative pattern 037SG105C is Changes to black.

As shown in FIG. 8-46(F), when the light emitting effect image 037SG105E is displayed on substantially the entire display screen of the image display device 5 as the variable display progresses, each The decorative patterns 037SG105L, 037SG105C, 037SG105R and the background image 5a become temporarily invisible to the player.

As explained above, the feature section 004IW discloses the configuration of the gaming machine shown below.

The gaming machine disclosed in the feature section 004IW is a gaming machine that can variably display special identification information (for example, a special symbol) and can be controlled to an advantageous state (for example, a jackpot gaming state) that is advantageous for the player. , a variable display execution means capable of variably displaying a plurality of decorative identification information (for example, decorative patterns) in response to the variable display of the special identification information, and a specific display as a result of the variable display of the plurality of decorative identification information. When a result (for example, a jackpot symbol) is displayed, an advantageous state control means capable of controlling the system to an advantageous state and a predetermined effect (for example, Super Reach B) that notifies whether or not the system is controlled to an advantageous state can be executed. and, during execution of a predetermined performance, the decoration identification information excluding specific decoration identification information (for example, a center decoration pattern) among the plurality of decoration identification information is temporarily stopped in a reach mode, and The specific decoration identification information is displayed in correspondence with the performance display of the predetermined performance (for example, a performance image such as a battle performance related to Super Reach B), and the form of the specific decoration identification information is a normal form and a normal form. A special mode that can be changed (for example, a destroyed mode; see FIG. 8-16 (24)), and a special mode that is a mode that can be changed from the normal mode and is a mode before changing to the special mode (for example, , a cracked mode (see Figure 8-15 (23)), and the specific decoration identification information displayed during execution of a predetermined effect changes from a normal mode to a special mode in response to the display of the predetermined effect. It is changeable and can change from a special aspect to a special aspect, and a specific display result can be displayed when the specific decoration identification information changes from a normal aspect to a special aspect and then to a special aspect during execution of a predetermined performance. (for example, the part corresponding to FIG. 8-15 (23) to FIG. 8-16 (30)), and the first specific decoration identification information (for example, center decoration pattern "2") is The light emitting means (e.g., e.g. , game effect lamps 9, and decorative light emitters such as decorative LEDs). With such a configuration, by changing the form of the specific decoration identification information in accordance with the performance display of a predetermined performance, it is possible to enhance the sense of realism of the performance and improve the interest in the game. Furthermore, by standardizing the light emission control during a predetermined effect, it is possible to suppress an increase in the amount of control data.

Further, this feature section 004IW discloses the configurations of the gaming machine shown below (Means 1) to (Means 17).

(Means 1) It is possible to display a plurality of types of specific decoration identification information (for example, center decoration patterns from "1" to "9") during execution of a predetermined production, and the first specific decoration is displayed during execution of a predetermined production. When a specific display result (for example, jackpot symbol "222") including identification information (for example, center ornament symbol "2") is displayed, a second specific ornament symbol that is displayed before the first specific ornament identification information is displayed. The specific decoration identification information (for example, the center decoration pattern "1") can change from the normal mode to the special mode over a predetermined period, and the third specific decoration identification information displayed before the second specific decoration identification information The specific decoration identification information (for example, the center decoration pattern "9") can change from the normal mode to the special mode over a specific period shorter than a predetermined period (for example, the final center decoration pattern stop inciting effect (figure 8-15 (20) to Fig. 8-16 (24)) have a longer production period than the center decoration symbol stop inciting production just before the final stage (Fig. 8-14 (14) to (15)). With such a configuration, the period required for the specific decoration identification information to change from the normal mode to the special mode can be varied, thereby increasing the production effect of the predetermined production.

(Means 2) In Means 1, the predetermined performance includes a first predetermined part (for example, the first part including the introduction part and incitement part of Super Reach B) and a second predetermined part (for example, the final incitement part of Super Reach B and A second part including a validity notification section), a specific display result can be displayed in the second predetermined part (see, for example, FIGS. 8-3 and 8-16), and a first specific decoration identification information (for example, , center decoration pattern "2") is displayed, when the second specific decoration identification information (e.g., center decoration pattern "2") is displayed during execution of the second predetermined part. After "1") becomes the special mode, the first specific decoration identification information is displayed in an enlarged mode with higher visibility than the normal mode (see, for example, FIGS. 8-16 (24) to (30)). As shown in FIG. 8-16 (30), the jackpot symbol "222" including the center decoration symbol "2" is displayed in an enlarged manner). With such a configuration, it is possible to enhance the presentation effect when the specific display result is displayed.

In means 1 or 2, the special mode is a mode in which the visibility of the specific decoration identification information is lowered than the normal mode (for example, the center ornament pattern "1" shown in FIG. 8-15 (23) is cracked). The special mode is a mode in which the visibility of the specific decoration identification information is lower than that of the normal mode and the special mode (for example, the center ornament pattern "1" shown in Figure 8-16 (24) is destroyed). aspect), after the second specific decoration identification information (for example, the center decoration pattern "1") becomes the special mode, the first specific decoration identification information (for example, the center decoration pattern "2") is displayed in the normal mode. (For example, see Figures 8-15 (23) to 8-16 (25)). With such a configuration, it is possible to make it easier to visually recognize the specific decoration identification information displayed after the special mode is set.

In means 1 or 2, a predetermined character related to the predetermined production (for example, second ally character 004IWC02) can be displayed as a production display of the predetermined production, and a predetermined character corresponding to the action of the predetermined character (for example, attack motion) can be displayed. The mode of the specific decoration identification information can be changed by changing the specific decoration identification information (for example, see FIG. 8-15 (20) to FIG. 8-16 (24)). With such a configuration, it is possible to associate the movement of the predetermined character with a change in the form of the specific decoration identification information, and it is possible to enhance the production effect.

In the means 1 or 2, when the specific decoration identification information changes from the normal mode to the special mode and then changes to the normal mode again during execution of the predetermined effect, it is announced that the specific display result will not be displayed (for example, , see Figure 8-15 (23), Figure 8-18 (35) to (40)). With such a configuration, it is possible to associate a change in the form of the specific decoration identification information with whether or not a specific display result is displayed, and it is possible to enhance the presentation effect.

In the means 1 or 2, the specific decoration identification information that changed from the normal mode to the special mode during the execution of the second predetermined part continues to be changed from the special mode to the special mode for a period of time until the specific decoration identification information changes from the special mode to the special mode. It is possible to display a related display (for example, a fragment image 004IWG01a of a center decoration pattern) as the information changes (for example, see FIG. 8-15 (23) and FIG. 8-38). With such a configuration, the sense of realism of the performance can be enhanced.

In the means 1 or 2, the specific decoration identification information that changes from the normal mode to the special mode during execution of the second predetermined part is controlled to be in an advantageous state during a period until it changes from the special mode to the special mode. It is possible to execute a cut-in effect that suggests the 8-15 (21 ) to Figure 8-16 (24)). With such a configuration, it is possible to effectively enliven the performance.

In the means 1 or 2, it is possible to perform a specific performance (for example, super reach A) that is different from the predetermined performance and informs whether or not the control is to be controlled in an advantageous state, and when the predetermined performance is executed. is more likely to be controlled in an advantageous state than when a specific effect is executed (for example, see Figure 8-1 (B)). Decoration identification information other than specific decoration identification information (for example, center decoration design) is temporarily stopped in a reach mode, and the specific decoration identification information is displayed as a performance of a specific performance (for example, a performance image such as a battle performance related to Super Reach A) The specific decoration identification information can be displayed in accordance with the above, and the specific decoration identification information displayed during execution of a specific performance can be a normal mode and a special mode that can be changed from the normal mode (for example, a destroyed mode. Figure 8-12 (34)) and a special aspect (for example, a cracked aspect; see FIG. 8-9 (20)), which is an aspect that can be changed from the normal aspect and is an aspect before changing to the special aspect. The specific decoration identification information displayed during execution of a specific production can change from a normal mode to a special mode, can change from a special mode to a special mode, and can change from a special mode to a special mode in accordance with the display of the specific production. It is possible to change to the normal mode, and when the specific decoration identification information changes from the normal mode to the special mode and then changes to the normal mode again during execution of a specific effect, it is possible to display a specific display result (for example, 8-9 (22) to FIG. 8-10 (30)), when a specific display result is displayed during the execution of a predetermined effect, and when a specific display result is displayed during the execution of a specific effect, It is possible to control the light emission of the light emitting means (for example, the decorative light emitters such as the game effect lamp 9 and the decorative LED) using a common light emission pattern (for example, a rainbow-colored light emission pattern) (for example, see FIG. 8-3). ).

In means 1 or 2, a predetermined character related to the predetermined effect (for example, second ally character 004IWC02) can be displayed as the effect display of the predetermined effect, and a specific character related to the specific effect can be displayed as the effect display of the specific effect. (For example, first ally character 004IWC01) can be displayed, and during the execution of a predetermined effect, the form of specific decoration identification information can be changed in response to the action of a predetermined character (e.g. attack action) (for example, (See Figures 8-15 (20) to 8-16 (24)), the form of the specific decoration identification information changes in response to the specific character's actions (for example, attacking actions and defensive actions) during the execution of the specific effect. This is possible (for example, see Figures 8-8 (14) to 8-8 (15), Figures 8-9 (22) to 8-10 (23), and Figure 8-12 (34)). With such a configuration, it is possible to diversify the presentation and improve the interest.

In means 1 or 2, the predetermined performance includes a first predetermined part (for example, a first part including an introduction part and an incitement part of Super Reach B) and a second predetermined part (for example, a final incitement part of Super Reach B and whether or not it is appropriate). The specific production includes a first specific part (for example, the first part including the introduction part and incitement part of Super Reach A) and a second specific part (for example, the first part including the introduction part and incitement part of Super Reach A). (a second part including a final inciting part and a propriety notification part), a specific display result can be displayed in the second predetermined part (for example, see FIGS. 8-3 and 8-16), and the second specific part It is possible to display specific display results (for example, see Figures 8-3 and 8-10), and when the specific decoration identification information changes from the normal mode to the special mode during the execution of the second predetermined part, the progress of the production It is possible to perform a progress speed change performance (for example, a slow motion performance) in which the speed changes from a normal speed to a special speed that is slower than the normal speed (for example, as shown in FIG. 8-15 (23), the progress speed of the performance changes When the specific decoration identification information changes from the normal mode to the special mode during the execution of the second specific part, it is possible to perform a progress speed change effect (for example, as shown in FIG. 8-9 (22) The execution period of the progress speed change effect is the same length for the predetermined effect and the specific effect (for example, both are performed for 3 seconds). With such a configuration, it is possible to make the performance easy to understand even though the contents of the performance are different.

In means 1 or 2, the predetermined performance includes a first predetermined part (for example, a first part including an introduction part and an incitement part of Super Reach B) and a second predetermined part (for example, a final incitement part of Super Reach B and whether or not it is appropriate). The specific performance consists of a first specific part (for example, the first part including the introduction part and incitement part of Super Reach A) and a second specific part (for example, the second part including the Super Reach A part). (a second part including a final inciting part and a propriety notification part), and when the specific decoration identification information changes from the normal mode to the special mode and then changes to the normal mode again during execution of the second predetermined part. , it is suggested that the specific display result is not displayed (for example, the parts corresponding to FIG. 8-18 (35) to (38)), and during the execution of the second specific part, the specific decoration identification information changes from the normal mode to the special mode. When changing to a special mode after becoming , it is suggested that the specific display result will not be displayed (for example, the part corresponding to Figure 8-12 (34) to (37)), and during the execution of the second predetermined part. When the specific decoration identification information is displayed again in the normal mode and when the specific decoration identification information is displayed in the special mode during the execution of the second specific part, a common light emission mode (for example, low-intensity white light emission) It is possible to control the light emission of the light emitting means (for example, decorative light emitters such as the game effect lamp 9 and the decorative LED) by using the pattern (see, for example, FIG. 8-4). With such a configuration, it is possible to suppress an increase in the amount of control data by making the light emission control common, while providing a variety of ways to enjoy the effects by making the effects different.

(Means 3) A predetermined effect (for example, super reach B) that informs whether or not the control will be controlled to an advantageous state, and a special effect (for example, super reach C) that informs whether or not the control will be controlled to an advantageous state. Either can be executed, and when a special effect is executed, the ratio of being controlled to an advantageous state is higher than when a predetermined effect is executed (for example, see FIG. 8-1 (B)), During execution of a predetermined performance, decoration identification information excluding specific decoration identification information (for example, a center decoration pattern) among a plurality of decoration identification information is temporarily stopped in a ready-to-reach mode, and the performance display of the predetermined performance (for example, The specific decoration identification information is displayed in response to a performance image (such as a battle performance related to Super Reach B), and when it is announced that the special performance will be controlled in an advantageous state, multiple decoration identification The decoration identification information excluding the specific decoration identification information among the information is temporarily stopped in a reach mode, and the specific decoration identification information is displayed when the specific display result is displayed, and is displayed during the execution of the predetermined effect. The modes of specific decoration identification information are a normal mode, a special mode that can be changed from the normal mode (for example, a destroyed mode, see Figure 8-16 (24)), and a special mode that can be changed from the normal mode.

A first aspect that suggests that the production will be executed (for example, a manner in which the second ally character 004IWC02 appears), and a second aspect that suggests that the specific production is executed (for example, the first ally character 004IWC01 appears) The display means is capable of displaying a special display in a common mode when the special notice performance in the first mode is executed and when the special notice effect in the second mode is executed. (For example, the common second mini-character 004IWC04 may be displayed in both cases where the first ally character 004IWC01 appears as a special preview effect and when the second ally character 004IWC02 appears. ). With such a configuration, it is possible to perform a variety of special preview performances, and it is possible to increase interest.

In any of the means 9 to 11, it is possible to execute a notification effect (for example, long reach) that is different from the predetermined effect and to notify that the control will be controlled in an advantageous state, and a special notice effect is executed. When a predetermined effect is executed, the ratio of being controlled to an advantageous state is higher than when a special notice effect is executed and a notification effect is executed (for example, see FIG. 8-1(B)), and the notification effect is A special notice performance can be executed before the performance is executed (for example, see Figure 8-30), and the notification performance is executed after the special display is displayed along with the execution of the special notice performance (for example, when the broken glass remains Image 004IWG05b is displayed (Figure 8-30 (5)), long reach is started (Figure 8-30 (8))), and the display means displays a special display for a predetermined period after the start of the notification effect. is continuously displayed (for example, the broken remaining glass image 004IWG05b is displayed until the timing shown in FIG. 8-31 (13) when the long reach ends), and for a period shorter than the predetermined period from the start of the predetermined effect. (For example, the broken remaining glass image 004IWG05b is displayed from the start of Super Reach B until the second ally character 004IWC02 appears. Figures 8-35 (7) to 8-36 (10) ). With this configuration, the display period of the special display can be varied depending on the performance executed after the special preview performance, and the interest in the game can be increased.

In any of the means 9 to 11, it is possible to execute a notification effect (for example, long reach) that is different from the predetermined effect and to notify that the control will be controlled in an advantageous state, and a special notice effect is executed. When a predetermined effect is executed, the ratio of being controlled to an advantageous state is higher than when a special notice effect is executed and a notification effect is executed (for example, see FIG. 8-1(B)), and the notification effect is A special notice performance can be executed before the execution of the performance (for example, see Figure 8-30), and the notification performance is executed after a special display is displayed along with the execution of the special notice performance, and the player's movement is detected. A motion detection means (for example, a push button 31B) is provided, and during the execution period of the notification performance, the motion performance using the motion detection means is executed over a special period shorter than a predetermined period after the start of the notification performance. It is possible (for example, it is possible to perform a back button effect (a effect in which the mode of lamp emission increases depending on the degree of expectation by repeatedly pressing or holding it) until just before the final inciting part of a long reach), and a special notice is available.
