Description

  The present invention relates to gaming machines such as pachinko gaming machines, arrange ball gaming machines, sparrow ball gaming machines, etc., in particular, starting an internal lottery of special roles such as big hits triggered by individual starting prizes, and accumulating within the holding upper limit, The present invention relates to a plurality of lottery derivation devices for deriving a lottery result through predetermined effects in order from the earliest one and a gaming machine including the control device.

  Conventionally, in Patent Document 1, when one lottery result (big hit) is derived by the first variable display device serving as the first lottery deriving device, the lottery stored on the second variable display device serving as the second lottery deriving device When the result-unreserved holding ball satisfies a predetermined condition, a plurality of lottery results (each miss) are continuously derived on the second variable display device side in parallel with the first variable display device side. Along with this continuous derivation, a proposal has been made to increase the fun of the game by causing a continuous production to appear multiple times on another large display device (paragraph 0155, FIG. 23).

Also, in Patent Document 2, when the derivation effect of each lottery result is finished with one lottery derivation device, there is no reserved ball stored in the lottery derivation device, and the derivation effect is interrupted, While continuously outputting the normal fluctuation sound that was being output for a while, the volume is gradually lowered and faded out.If there is a start prize during this fade-out period, the normal fluctuation sound is restored to the original standard volume again. There has been a proposal that encourages the desire to continue to listen and encourages continued gaming (paragraphs 0025 and 0047).
JP 2005-304730 A JP 2005-211282 A

  In general, including the case where the continuous production described in the above-mentioned document 1 is performed, the production that derives the big hit and the production that strongly expects the big hit is a long-term developmental and interesting thing that skillfully builds player psychology, On the other hand, when such an effect appears, the player tends to temporarily stop the launch of the ball and watch the final derivation result. For this reason, there exists a possibility that the actual operation rate of a gaming machine may fall.

  The promotion strategy of continuous game by returning the sound volume from the fade-out described in the above-mentioned document 2 can only eliminate the interruption of the derivation effect at an early stage, and while the long-term development type effect that can expect a big hit is revealed, the fade-out is completely There is a tendency to watch over the final derivation results without being involved. Therefore, it is impossible to effectively prevent a game interruption during the development type performance.

  In the present invention, during a specific development type production that can be expected to win a special role such as a big hit, it is possible to actively promote a continuous game, and the player himself can enjoy a sense of participation in the production, and a new It is an object to provide a gaming machine that can arouse interest.

  The invention according to claim 1, as illustrated in the drawings, activates an internal lottery for special roles in response to individual start winnings, accumulates them within the upper limit for holding, and draws lottery results through predetermined effects in order from the earliest one. In a gaming machine equipped with a plurality of lottery derivation devices A and B and a control device CN thereof, the control device CN selects a specific development type effect as the derivation effect of the lottery result in one lottery derivation device The number-of-holds monitoring means X for monitoring the number of holds for which the lottery result is not derived in the other lottery derivation devices during the selection, and the state of notification of the developed effect according to the number of reservations monitored by the monitoring means X is corrected. There is a specific matter including notification mode changing means Y to be changed according to the correlation. The positive correlation here means that when the number of holds is large, the notification mode is good for the player, so that the horizontal axis has a large number of holds and the vertical axis is good or bad. It means a tendency to rise.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, the notification mode changing unit Y is a high expectation level notification mode in which an expectation for winning can be apparently increased when the number of holds monitored by the number-of-holds monitoring unit X is a predetermined value or more. Has specific items with specifications.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, the notification mode changing unit Y is a low expectation level notification mode in which the expectation for winning can be apparently reduced when the number of holds monitored by the number-of-holds monitoring unit X falls below a predetermined value. Has specific items with specifications.

  The invention according to claim 4 is a message that prompts the control device CN to increase the number of pending lots that have not yet been drawn in the lottery result in the other lottery derivation devices when the development type effect is selected in one lottery derivation device. There are specific items including message output means Z for outputting.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, when a specific development type effect is selected as the derivation effect of the lottery result in one lottery derivation device, the number of pending lots in which the lottery result is not derived in another lottery derivation device is increased. Thus, it is possible to arouse a player's psychology to improve the notification mode of the developmental effect. As a result, it is possible to avoid the interruption of the game during the selection of the advanced production and promote a continuous game, and to enjoy the sense that the player himself was involved in the production, and to actively and effectively enhance the interest of the game. . Moreover, increasing the number of pending lots that have not yet been drawn in other lottery derivation devices is nothing but increasing the chances of special lottery internal lottery, which is suitable for the player's profit and is to uselessly digest the game. It will not be.

  According to the second aspect of the present invention, it is possible to encourage the player to increase the number of holdings to a predetermined value or more as an objective goal, and to allow the player to experience an advanced production in a high expectation notification mode by achieving the goal. Can do. And when the winning is derived, the joy of winning the winning with his own hands can be given.

  According to the invention described in claim 3, it is possible to prompt the player to increase the number of holds so as not to fall below a predetermined value. Also, if the value falls below the predetermined value, a penalty of low expectation notification mode is imposed.

  According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, it is possible to effectively prompt the player to continue the game by outputting a message prompting the increase in the number of holds, and the intended purpose can be satisfactorily achieved.

A predetermined number, for example, 15 prize balls are paid out for each winning prize to the big winning opening 9. For example, a maximum of, for example, 10 winnings are permitted for each round of 30 seconds. Upon completion of one round, the special winning opening 9 is once closed, opened again after a predetermined interval of 2 to 3 seconds, and repeated for a maximum of, for example, 15 rounds. With this series of big hit games, you can win over 2000 balls.

5] First special symbol display device SD1, second special symbol display device SD2
The first special symbol display device SD1 is linked with the variation of the production symbols AL, AC, AR and the final stop display in the first production device 71 to vary and stop the special symbol referred to in the laws and regulations related to the wind management law. At the time, any number from 1 to 8 that determines the winning symbol is stopped, and when the deviation is derived, the bar “-” is stopped uniformly.
The second special symbol display device SD2 is linked with the variation and final stop display of the production symbols BL, BC, BR in the second production device 72, and fluctuates and stops the special symbols referred to in the laws and regulations related to the wind management law. At the time, any number from 1 to 8 that determines the winning symbol is stopped, and when the deviation is derived, the bar “-” is stopped uniformly.

6] Others A rail 21 that divides a substantially circular game area 20 and guides a ball to be launched by the launch handle 4, a ball return prevention piece 22, and a general winning opening 23 for paying out a predetermined number, for example, 10 prize balls for each prize. ˜26, left and right windmills 27a and 27b, ball stoppers 28, and an outlet 29 for discharging a ball that has missed a prize. Although illustration is omitted, a large number of game nails are struck in the game area 20 according to a unique gauge.

  FIG. 2 shows a control device CN that controls the above games. A main control unit MC including a CPU, a ROM, and a RAM, and a first peripheral control unit SC1 and a second peripheral control unit SC2 on the sub-side of the main control unit MC. , 2). The main control unit MC is connected to the winning sensor 81s of the first starting port 81, the winning sensor 82s of the second starting port 82, the winning sensor 9s of the big winning port 9, and the general winning ports 23 through the I / O port IN. Twenty-six winning sensors 23s to 26s are input. A command is transmitted one-way from the main control unit MC to the sub-sides SC1 and SC2 via the relay board CB. Data is transmitted and received bidirectionally between the peripheral control units on the sub-side SC1 and SC2.

  The game program stored in the ROM of the main control unit MC includes a jackpot internal lottery means R that is activated when the first or second starting prize is received, and an effect to be developed on the sub-side SCs 1 and 2 based on the result of the lottery. The production selection means S for selecting is constructed. The RAM of the main control unit MC stores a first holding ball storage area K1 for storing a big hit lottery random number acquired at the time of the first start winning, and a second holding ball storage for storing a big hit lottery random number acquired at the time of the second start winning. Area K2 is secured. From the main control unit MC, the first and second special symbol display devices SD1 and SD2 and the opening / closing drive unit D2 by the solenoid or the like for opening and closing the ball receiving member 90 of the special winning opening 9 are connected via the driver circuit Dr0, The number-of-holding indicators a1 to a4 corresponding to the holding balls and the number-of-holding indicators b1 to b4 corresponding to the second holding balls are controlled.

  In the main control unit MC, an effect pattern number for specifying an effect to be developed on the sub-sides SC1 and SC2 is selected from a plurality of types of options defined in advance in the ROM, and together with effect devices 71 and 72 to be executed, in a predetermined command format This is transmitted to the sub-sides SC1 and SC2, and the lapse of the production time specified by the transmitted command is managed by the timer. Thus, the control on the main control unit MC side and the control on the sub-sides SC1 and SC2 are matched. In addition, whenever a change occurs in the game information including the storage status of the first and second reserved ball storage areas K1, K2 of the main control unit MC, the information is transmitted to the sub-side SC1, 2, and the main control unit The MC and the sub-side SCs 1 and 2 can share the first and second reserved ball information.

  Furthermore, when a single jackpot derivation effect is produced by one production device 71 or 72, when another production in another production device 72 or 71 derives another big jackpot, or even if it is out of place, a single jackpot derivation production is produced. If the production ends after a certain stage, or is accompanied by a specific development type production to be described later, it is forced to proceed with the other productions being changed in the production design until after the big hit game based on one big hit In other cases, the derivation effects in the effect devices 71 and 72 proceed in parallel at the same time. Since the effect pattern that stops the off symbol in a relatively short effect time is selected as the most frequently used derivation effect, an effect with a long effect time is produced by one effect device 71 or 72. Even if it is done, the processing of the holding ball in the other effect device 72 or 71 will proceed. In this way, while performing efficient derivation effects, the two effect devices 71 and 72 are configured so that jackpots and specific developed effects do not overlap at the same time.

  From the first peripheral controller SC1, the first effect device 71 and the second effect device 72 are controlled via the driver circuit Dr1. The second peripheral control unit SC2 controls the speakers 51 and 52, the lamps 61 to 69, the first start port lamp 81E, and the second start port lamp 82E through the driver circuit Dr2. In the effect program stored in the ROM of the first peripheral control unit SC1 and / or the second peripheral control unit SC2, the following means a) to c) are constructed.

A) Retention count monitoring means X
The number-of-holds monitoring means X uses a specific development type effect, for example, the name “Derby” of the gaming machine 1 as an effect to derive a lottery result in one lottery deriving device A or B by the effect selection means S of the main control unit MC. When a so-called super reach production pattern that strongly expects a big hit called “Derby famous game reach”, which is closely related to “the story of the famous game”, is selected and this production command is received by the sub-SC1 and SC2. The number of reserved balls for which the lottery result is not derived in another lottery deriving device B or A during the selection is monitored.

  “Derby Famous Game Reach”, which is a specific developmental production, has different race images and live coverage, for example: 1) 2006 Japan Derby, 2) 2006 Arc de Triomphe Award, 3) Memories of famous game 1, 4) Memories 4 types of famous game 2 are prepared. In the effect selection means S of the main control unit MC on the command sender side, for example, based on a random number for effect pattern selection that is updated at high speed within a range of 0 to 2556, 674/2557, 267/2557, 400 / 1) to 4) are selected at a high rate of 2557, 378/2557, and 1) to 4) are selected at a low rate of 87/2557, 13/2557, 50/2557, 48/2557 at the time of detachment. The The selection types 1) to 4) are specified by the production pattern numbers on the production commands assigned according to the success or failure of the jackpot. The sub-side SCs 1 and 2 that have received this effect command will pass through any of the selected effects 1) to 4). Stop.

B) Notification mode change means Y
The notification mode changing unit Y has a positive correlation, that is, the other side of the development type notification mode developed by the effect device 71 or 72 in accordance with the number of the other holding balls monitored by the number-of-holds monitoring unit X. If the number of reserved balls is large, the notification mode will be good for the player, so that the number of reserved balls is small on the horizontal axis and the notification mode is good or bad on the vertical axis, Change to be.

  Specifically, when the number of held balls monitored by the number-of-holds monitoring means X is a predetermined value, for example, 3 or more, a high-expectation notification mode using a full version with an image and a volume that can increase the sense of expectation for winning as expected And In addition, when the number of reserved balls monitored by the number-of-holds monitoring means X is below a predetermined value, for example, three, the image and the volume that can seem to decrease the expectation for winning for a while as the number of held balls decreases for a while are suppressed. The low expectation degree notification mode by the reduced version is used.

C) Message output means Z
The message output means Z displays a predetermined mission for the player when the development type effect is selected in one lottery derivation device A or B, thereby displaying the predetermined mission on the other lottery derivation device B or A. Encourage the number of reserved balls for which the lottery result has not been derived to be increased.

  As shown in FIG. 3, in the effect processing at the sub-sides SC1 and SC2, if the effect command received from the main control unit MC is not a specific development effect (T1), the corresponding effect device 71, 72 (T2). In the case of a specific development type production, that is, any “Derby Famous Reach” (T1), it is attached to the display of the reach state in which the production symbols on the left and right are aligned, and the relevant production device 71 is operated as the operation of the message output means Z. , 72 is displayed, for example, a mission "Put a ball in the next starting port and make three or more holding balls within 30 seconds!" (T3).

  At this time, a voice message having the same wording as that of the mission display is also output from the speakers 51 and 52. In addition, a lamp at the start port for inserting the ball P, for example 82E, blinks and is clearly shown. In the illustrated example, the number of reserved balls stored in the second lottery deriving device B on the other side where the number of reserved balls is to be increased is 0, and all the number-of-holding indicators b1, b2, b3, and b4 are turned off.

  Except for the case where the main effect notification by any of the above-mentioned 1) to 4) race images and live broadcasts, which is a highlight of a specific development type effect, has already been made (T4), the number-of-holds monitoring means X and the notification mode change As an operation of means Y, it is determined whether the number n of retained balls stored in the lottery deriving device on the other side (hereinafter referred to as the retained number n on the other side) is a predetermined value, for example, 3 or more (T5). Instead, the main effect by the full version is notified (T6), and if it is less than three, wait for 30 seconds (T7), the image is reduced and the live broadcast volume from the speakers 51, 52 is set to 3/4 The main effect by the reduced version 1 reduced to the above is notified instead of the mission display (T8), and the processing after step T4 is repeated until the end of the effect time (T9).

  As shown in FIG. 4, after the main performance notification by the famous race image and the live broadcast, the monitoring timer under the control of the sub-side SCs 1 and 2 is started with the time period until the time is up, for example, 2 minutes ( T10). Even when notification of the main effect by the reduced version is performed, if the number n of reservations on the other side becomes 3 or more later as an operation of the number-of-holds monitoring means X and the notification mode changing means Y (T11), it is upgraded to the main effect notification by the full version. (T12), and after the time-up determination (T13) of the monitoring timer and the end determination of the production time (T14), the processes after step T11 are repeated.

  Until the monitoring timer expires, once the main effect is notified by the full version, the rank is not lowered to the reduced version even if the number n of the other side is less than 3. However, when the monitoring timer expires (T13), the number n of holdings on the other side is less than 3 (T15) as the operation of the holding number monitoring means X and the notification mode changing means Y (T15). If (T16), the image is a reduced version (T17), and the live broadcast volume is 3/4 (T18), the reduced version 1; if n is 1 (T19), the image is the reduced version (T20) In addition, when the live broadcast volume is 1/2 (T21) and reduced version 2 and n is 0, the image is only the change of the production pattern (T22), and the live broadcast volume is 1/4 (T23). Each change to the reduced version 3 is repeated, and the processing from step T10 is repeated.

  As shown in FIG. 5, in the main effect notification by the full version, it is possible to fully enjoy the relay of the famous game race with the large image F, and the expectation for the big hit is also gained. In the main effect notification by the reduced version 1 or 2, the reduced version of the small image f is reduced, the relay volume is reduced, the small image f is not displayed in the reduced version 3, and the feeling of expectation for the big hit is slightly depressed.

  The player who has been notified of the mission has the psychology of trying to increase the holding number n on the other side from the desire to fully enjoy the famous game race. Even if the reduced version starts without increasing n during the mission display period, it can be promoted to the full version by increasing n thereafter, so that a sustained game can be promoted. Once the full version has been reached, the derivation of the relatively short off of the production time will proceed early, and n will decrease from moment to moment. It could go down. For this reason, it is possible to effectively avoid the sidelines of the production due to the interruption of the game over a long production time, and promote a continuous game.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the center unit 7 according to the second embodiment includes an effect device 70 formed of a wide color liquid crystal display in a decorative frame 700, and a first start located on the lower left on one effect device 70. A second display area 72 constituting the second lottery derivation apparatus B in combination with the first display area 71 constituting the first lottery derivation apparatus A in combination with the mouth 81 and the second start opening 82 located in the lower right. Are provided symmetrically. In addition, the winning opening shape is based on the name of the gaming machine 1 “Takaza Abi no Mystery Year”. Others are the same as in the first embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 7, in the control device CN according to the second embodiment, the first peripheral control unit SC1 controls the effect device 70 including the control of the first display area 71 and the second display area 72. Further, as a specific development type effect related to the operation of the number-of-holds monitoring means X, the notification mode changing means Y, and the message output means Z, images and music are different: 1) let that girl in the spring breeze 2) summer carnival chucker 3) Fall moments that have yet to come 4) Four types of “promotion video reach” on the front and back streets of winter are prepared and selected according to the same selection rate as above. Others are the same as in the first embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 8, in the rendering process on the sub-sides SC1 and SC2 in the second embodiment, the rendering is developed by appropriately overlapping the display areas 71 and 72 according to the rendering command received from the main control unit MC. . At the time of a specific development type production, the start lamp to which the ball P should be placed blinks, and in the mission display of Step T3, for example, “Place a ball in the blinking start opening and increase the number of holding balls to 3 or more within 30 seconds. Then, you can watch the full-screen promotional video for Aza Takaza's hit song “Spring That Girl is a Wind”! "Is displayed. Furthermore, in the reduced version 1 of step T8, the high seat avi stays in the bag on the image, and the singing voice volume is reduced to 3/4. Others are the same as in the first embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 9, in the reduced version 1 in which the number n of holdings on the other side is 2 after the watch timer has timed out after the main effect is notified by one of the promotional videos, the high seat Abi G is within 棺 H. It is confined and the singing voice volume is reduced to 3/4. In the reduced version 2 of n = 1, the door K of 棺 H is further closed by half, and the singing voice volume is reduced to ½. In the reduced version 3 with n = 0, all the doors K of 棺 H are closed, and the singing voice volume is reduced to ¼. Others are the same as in the first embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 10, in the main effect notification by the full version, the promotion video can be fully enjoyed on the wide screen of the effect device 70, and the expectation for the big hit is also gained. In the main production notification by the reduced versions 1 to 3, the feeling of dynamism disappears in the video, the singing voice becomes smaller, and the expectation for the big hit also disappears.

  The player who has received the mission notice has the psychology of trying to increase the number n of reservations on the other side from the desire to fully enjoy the promotional video. Even if the reduced version starts without increasing n during the mission display period, it can be promoted to the full version by increasing n thereafter, so that a sustained game can be promoted. Once the full version has been reached, the derivation of the relatively short off of the production time will proceed early, and n will decrease from moment to moment. It could go down. Therefore, it is possible to effectively avoid the sidelines of the production due to the interruption of the game through the long production time by the promotion video, and to promote the continuous game.

  As shown in FIG. 11, in the third embodiment, the first start port 81 and the second start port 82 are arranged vertically on the approximate center line of the game board 2. In contrast to the first starting port 81 that allows one ball to enter at all times, the second starting port 82 is normally in a state in which it is impossible to enter the ball through the first starting port 81. The random number for normal symbol lottery obtained by passing the ball to the gate GT is a win, and the alternate lighting of the green lamp GL and the red lamp RL constituting the normal symbol display device ND stops at the green lamp GL, and the hit is derived. Subsequently, the petals 8a and 8b of the electric tulip 80 are opened following the winning derivation, so that the ball can enter the second starting port 82 only. The normal symbol lottery random number hit probability is, for example, 200/256. Reference symbols h1, h2, h3, and h3 are normal symbol corresponding number-of-holds indicators for displaying the number of normal symbol lottery random numbers.

  In the decorative frame 700, the center unit 7 is a combination of the first start device 71 on the front side that constitutes the first lottery deriving device A in combination with the first start port 81, and the second start port 82. The second rendering device 72 on the rear side constituting the lottery derivation device B is arranged so as to overlap. The first special symbol display device SD1 and the second special symbol display device SD2 are integrated on the left and right of the center unit 7. Reference numerals 27a, 27b, 27c and 27d denote wind turbines, and 30a and 30b denote left and right panel surface side lamps. The rest is basically the same as in the first embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the first rendering device 71 on the front side includes a transmissive liquid crystal display that displays a color image using a transparent conductive film such as ITO (Indium Tin Oxide). Behind that, a shutter plate 73 made of a polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) or the like having a two-disc configuration that individually changes the transmittance of the upper region 731 and the lower region 732 by controlling the applied voltage is laminated in a close contact state. ing. The second rendering device 72 on the rear side is formed of a normal color liquid crystal display, and is arranged with a distance of several millimeters from the shutter plate 73. A transparent light guide plate 74 is stacked in close contact behind the second effect device 72. 75 and 76 are edge lights composed of cold cathode tubes that irradiate the light guide plate 74 with light from the upper side surface and the lower side surface.

  In connection with the name “brother fishing boat” of the gaming machine 1, in the first directing device 71, the directing symbols AL, AC, AR are changed in the lower left of the screen under the background where the twin brother M1 is facing the right. , Zoom in on the center when stopped. In the second effect device 72, the effect symbols BL, BC, BR are changed on the lower right side of the screen under the background of the twin brother M2 facing the left and fishing, and enlarged and displayed at the center when stopped. Reference numeral 730 denotes a notch provided in the lower region 732 of the shutter plate 73 so that the lower right effect symbols BL, BC, BR of the second second effect device 72 at the rear are always visible from the front.

  As shown in FIG. 13, in Example 3, the ball passing sensor GTs of the gate GT is added to the input element of the main control unit MC, and the normal symbol display device ND, the electric tulip 80 are controlled by the main control unit MC. Opening / closing drive part D1 by a solenoid or the like for opening / closing the petals 8a and 8b, and the number-of-holding indicators h1 to h4 corresponding to normal symbols are added. In the RAM of the main control unit MC, a normal symbol storage area K3 for storing a maximum of four random numbers for normal symbol lottery is stored. A shutter plate 73 and edge lights 75 and 76 are added to the control target of the first peripheral controller SC1.

  As specific development-type effects related to the operation of the hold number monitoring means X, the notification mode changing means Y, and the message output means Z, images and sound effects are different. 1) Phantom rare fish 1, 2) Phantom rare fish 2 Three types of “rare fish reach” of 3) mermaid and 4) half-fish man are prepared and selected according to the same selection rate as above. Others are the same as in the first embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 14, in the rendering process on the sub-sides SC <b> 1 and SC <b> 2 of the third embodiment, the display control and the shutter plate 73 on the front and rear rendering devices 71 and 72 are performed according to the rendering command received from the main control unit MC. Produce a production that combines the transmittance control with. At the time of a specific development type production, the start opening lamp to which the ball P should be put blinks, and in the mission display of step T3, for example, “If you increase the number of reserved balls to the start opening blinking, you can catch rare fish!” Display. Further, in the reduced version 1 of step T8, the color tone of the lower half corresponding to the sea portion of the effect device 71 or 72 is suppressed, and the transmission or non-transmission control in the lower region 732 of the shutter plate 73 is combined, and a rare that is scheduled to appear. Fish are buried in the sea on the other production device, making it difficult to see, and the sound volume is reduced to 3/4. Others are the same as in the first embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 15, after the main effect notification by “rare fish reach” is made, after the time-up of the monitoring timer, the image change at step T17 in the reduced version 1 in which the other-side holding number n is 2 appears In the image change in step T20 in the reduced version 2 where n = 1, the visibility of the rare fish to be reduced is made extremely low, and in step T22 in the reduced version 3 where n = 0, In this image change, it is almost impossible to see rare fish that should appear. Others are the same as in the first embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 16, when the first rendering device 71 in the front is “rare fish reach”, in the full version notification, the upper region 731 of the shutter plate 73 is translucent and translucent, and both brothers M1 and M2 are both Although displayed, the lower region 732 is in a non-transparent white state, and the rear rare fish V is clearly projected with the back hidden. On the other hand, in the reduced version, the transmittance of the lower region 732 of the shutter plate 73 is increased to be close to transparency, and the color tone of the portion of the sea W1 including the rare fish V to be displayed on the first effect device 71 is dimmed. 2 The rare fish V is made difficult to see by the sea W2 of the rendering device 72. The degree of transmission of the lower area 732 of the shutter plate 73 and the degree of color tone thinning in the first effect device 71 are gradually increased so that the visibility of the rare fish V is improved, such as 2 rather than 2 and 3 rather than 2. It is gradually lowering.

  As shown in FIG. 17, when the rear second rendering device 72 becomes “rare fish reach”, in the full version notification, the upper region 731 of the shutter plate 73 is made semi-translucent and translucent, and the brothers M1 and M2 are both Although displayed, the lower region 732 is transparent in the clearest transparent state, and the rear rare fish V is clearly projected forward. On the other hand, in the reduced version, the lower region 732 of the shutter plate 73 is made non-transparent and close to white, and the color of the portion of the sea W2 including the rare fish V to be displayed on the second effect device 72 is dimmed, and the front first The rare fish V is made difficult to see by the sea W1 of the stage device 71. The degree of non-transmission of the lower region 732 of the shutter plate 73 and the degree of thinness of the color tone in the second effect device 72 are gradually increased so that the reduction of the color of the rare fish V is reduced. The sex is gradually decreasing.

  In the main production notification by the full version, you can fully enjoy the fun of catching rare fish V, and the expectation for big hits is also gaining momentum. In the main effect notification by the reduced versions 1 to 3, the interest is reduced, and the expectation for the big hit is also reduced.

  The player who has been notified of the mission has a psychology to increase the number n of reservations on the other side from the desire to fully enjoy the production. Even if the reduced version starts without increasing n during the mission display period, it can be promoted to the full version by increasing n thereafter, so that a sustained game can be promoted. Once the full version has been reached, the derivation of the relatively short off of the production time will proceed early, and n will decrease from moment to moment. It could go down. Therefore, it is possible to effectively avoid the sidelines of the production due to the game interruption through the long production time by the rare fish reach, and to promote the continuous game.

  The fourth embodiment is basically the same as the gaming machine 1 and the control device CN of the first embodiment. However, as a specific development type production, instead of “Derby Famous Game Reach”, “Battle Reach” of Hero HR vs. Villain RC Is adopted. This "Battle Reach" has 4 types of battles: 1) Avilanger vs. Zag Cop, 2) Avirider vs. Zagker, 3) Avitraman vs. Zag Giant, 4) Ambassador of Abil vs. Zaggoagon Are selected according to the selection rate.

  As shown in FIG. 18, in the mission display of step T3 in the rendering process on the sub-sides SC1 and SC2 of the fourth embodiment, a rendering device that develops “battle reach”, which is a specific developmental rendering, for example, the second rendering device 72. , “If you put a ball in the next starting port and make 3 or more holding balls within 30 seconds, it will shift to battle mode!” Is displayed. In the full version notification in step T6, the battle effect is expanded as a large image, and in the notification according to the reduced version in step T8, the battle effect is expanded as a reduced version of the small image.

  As shown in FIG. 19, after the battle effect is started, a monitoring timer with a relatively short time period, for example, 15 seconds is started (T10), and when this monitoring timer expires (T13), the time increases. If the hold number n on the other side to be made is 3 or more (T15), the development of the battle production is switched to the hero superior mode where the hero HR prevails against the villain RC (T24). It switches to the hero inferior mode which becomes inferior to RC (T25). After these, the processes after step T10 are repeated.

  As shown in FIG. 20, at the beginning of the battle effect, when the mission is successful, the player enters the large battle mode using the large image F, and when the mission fails, the user enters the small battle mode using the small image f. Even when the small battle mode is entered, the rank increases to the large battle mode when the number n of holdings on the other side to be increased in the middle of the timing of the first monitoring timer becomes 3 or more. Once in large battle mode, it will not rank down to small battle mode.

  When the 15-second monitoring timer expires, if the holding number n on the other side is 3 or more, it becomes a large image F and a hero dominant mode, and if the n is less than 3, the large image F When the hero inferior mode and the large battle are not started, the small image f and the hero inferior mode are set.

  Even in the worst state of the small image f and the hero inferior mode, if the holding number n on the other side to be increased can be 3 or more, the best state of the large image F and the hero dominant mode can be achieved. . On the other hand, even in the best state of the large image F and the hero superior mode, the derivation of the relatively short deviation of the production time proceeds at an early stage. It may fall. The player has the psychology of trying to defeat a villain in a big battle, and continues to play the game while trying to increase the number n of holdings on the other side through a long production time from the start to the end of the battle production. Become.

  In each of the embodiments described above, four types of reach are prepared as specific development type effects, but may be five types or more, three types or less, and at least one type. The production to be developed may be a famous scene of a drama or movie. As another example of the reduced version, it may be difficult to see a moving image as a highlight by applying a mosaic to the screen or increasing the display of the effect design. Furthermore, it may be a specification machine in which the number of holdings n on the other side once increased during a specific development type production does not decrease, and in this case, the other side that responds to the mission display and is monitored at the beginning of the development type production. If the number n of holdings is small, it is possible to arouse the player's psychology to increase this number.
