Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a gaming machine having a game machine having a technical intervention and a game element having a capture element, in which the skill level and sense of a player are reflected in a game result, and a game machine having such a game machine. The present invention relates to a computer-readable medium storing a game program for causing a computer to execute a simulation game of a gaming machine having technical intervention and capture elements.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, gaming machines such as pachislots and pachinko machines have become versatile and deeply entertainable in combination with microcomputer control. Specifications and strategy elements of popular gaming machines have been introduced by strategy magazines and the like. In addition, it is simulated as home video game software so that a simulated battle can be enjoyed while staying at home. These pachislots and pachinko machines have the luck of losing time under control of the built-in microcomputer, but there are certain capture factors within the control characteristics and habits of individual gaming machines, and the player's technical level and The sense is reflected in the game result, and there may be a big difference in the pitch between advanced and beginners.

[0003] Taking a pachislot as an example, in order to receive a coin payout, a random number extracted at the moment of hitting the start lever must be internally won within a certain winning combination, and the internally won winning combination must be dealt with. Two conditions of pressing the stop button at a predetermined timing so that the symbols thus formed are arranged on the winning line within the pull-in range of four frames are required. For this reason, in order for the player to acquire more coins, improvement of the operation technology of the stop button including understanding of the symbol arrangement,
It is important to understand the exact details of the internal election.

More specifically, in the case of a big bonus or a regular bonus, even if the bonus symbols cannot be aligned in the flag establishment game in which the bonus is internally won, the bonus flag is carried over to the next game and thereafter, and the bonus symbol is actually Many chances are given until they are aligned, but the number of bonus symbols included in one reel is inherently small,
Since it is not always easy for everyone to accurately grasp the establishment of the bonus flag from the unique reel stop appearance called the reach eye and the flag notification mode by the reel back lamp etc., beginners can start from the flag establishment game. Numerous games are wasted before the bonus symbols are actually aligned.

In the most frequently performed general games before the internal winning of the bonus, the winning combination to be established is a small role or a replay, but unlike the bonus flag, the result of the internal winning cannot be carried over to the next game and thereafter. As a result, a drop-in occurs in a winning combination other than the winning combination guaranteed 100%. In this case, it is a so-called DDT batting method that can aim at a specific symbol from the symbol array of the reels and wipe out missing symbols, and an efficient method that takes into account the winning probability of a small role and the time efficiency required for eye-catching. There are hitting methods, but beginners are poorly aware of such a hitting method, and even if they know, they can accurately read the spinning reel pattern and press the stop button at the appropriate time. Due to poor eye-popping force, the small role is not missed.

Furthermore, during the big bonus game, the regular bonus starting with three replay symbols is limited to a limited number of times, such as 30 times, rather than the maximum allowed 2 or 3 times being consumed earlier. In the middle of the regular game in the big bonus game, dare to remove all three replay symbols to avoid entering the regular bonus,
It is advantageous to take the small role with the winning probability higher than usual, take advantage of the strategy called so-called replay hazushi, and complete the prescribed bonus game, but it is difficult for beginners with poor eyesight power , The number of coins earned is reduced compared to advanced players.

Further, in a machine equipped with a challenge time (CT) for stopping the reel stop control based on the random number lottery after the end of the big bonus game, during the CT, the player wins the small portion prize arbitrarily by the eye and increases the prescribed net increase. There is a so-called CT max batting method that keeps the chance of bonus lottery for a long time while keeping coins near the number of coins acquired, but beginners lacking eyesight power cannot use 4-frame pull-in assist during CT Conversely, the result is that the number of coins is reduced, and intermediate players whose pushing power is not as good as advanced users will exceed the prescribed net increase number before the prescribed number of games during CT is exhausted, and favorable coin holding is an advantageous situation As a result, the opportunity to reenter the bonus below is quickly lost.

[0008]

After all, in order to advance the game advantageously using the above-mentioned strategy, etc., it is necessary to improve the pushing force including understanding of the arrangement of the reel symbols and to improve It is important to accurately grasp the internal winning results and learn the optimal operating procedures at each time based on these assumptions, but it is difficult to actually ask everyone for the knowledge and operation skills of gaming machines so far, Not only are beginners not given enough satisfaction, but the fact is that there are not a few generations whose players are narrowed and who do not want to play games in opposition to the variety of playability.

Here, consideration will be given to adding a function for supporting the technical ability of the player to the gaming machine. For the support function, for example, an operation timing at which a target symbol can be stopped on a winning line is notified by display means such as a lamp or a liquid crystal screen, sound generation means such as a speaker, vibration generation means such as a vibrator, etc. When a predetermined condition such as the establishment of a bonus flag is satisfied, the rotation of the reel is reduced to facilitate the recognition of the symbol, the reel array is displayed to indicate which symbol is located at which position on the reel, and the liquid crystal. Display a pseudo reel synchronized with the main reel on the screen etc. to mark or highlight the symbol you want to aim to make it easier to recognize the symbol, the most advantageous strategy according to the current game situation The game can be evaluated based on what is taught, what shows the establishment flag to indicate which winning combination should be arranged in this game, and a graph of missing winning combinations etc. Such as it can be considered.

[0010] However, even if these support functions are simply added to the gaming machine, the support works uniformly regardless of whether the player is a beginner or an advanced player. In other words, there is a problem in that the function does not operate when the function necessary for another player is required.

That is, although it depends on the skill level of the support function for the player, if the support function is completely for beginners, the game will only be simpler and the skill will be further improved. Not only is it unnecessary for advanced users, but rather uninteresting, and true equalization cannot be achieved. On the other hand, even if the support function for advanced users is uniformly provided, even beginners do not understand the meaning, but rather only complicate the game, and cannot provide the support function.

[0012] Also, from the gaming store side, there is a demand to provide different services to individual players for various reasons. For example, regular customers and female customers who frequently visit the store are given benefits, or players who have been playing games for a long time but their operating skills do not improve or have just started playing games and do not even understand the operating procedure We would like to provide basic support to players and attractive support to skilled players to encourage further technical improvement. There was no gaming machine with a function to change the content.

According to the present invention, the support function is not simply added uniformly to the gaming machine and the support function is operated regardless of the beginner / advanced person, but the support function is based on the record of the individual game history for each player. , So that there is no adverse effect such as inequality between beginners and advanced players and ineffectiveness of support functions as in the case of uniformly operating the support function, and appropriate support corresponding to individual players It is an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine having an excellent navigation function and a computer-readable medium storing a game program.

In the meantime, three sets of regular bonuses, in which 15 payouts can be received up to 8 times in a set of 12 jack games, starting with three replay symbols, can be obtained, and about 360 coins can be obtained. However, there are other types of models, such as a B type having two sets of regular bonuses during the big bonus, a B-CT type having a CT game added to the B type, and a C type having a single bonus concentrator. Of course, it is good.

FIG. 5 is a block diagram of a control device for controlling the entire game. Control device 9 built in gaming machine body 1
Reference numeral 00 has a main control unit 9 constructed by a microcomputer CPU, a read-only memory ROM, and a random access memory RAM. 91 is a clock pulse generation circuit, 92 is a frequency divider, 93 is a random number generator, and 94 is a random number sampling circuit. The random number value extracted at the moment when the start lever 6 is hit and the winning table TB stored in the ROM
Based on the comparison judgment with V, the presence or absence of an internal winning and the winning combination are determined. The bonus flag, which is the internal winning result of the big bonus or the regular bonus, can be carried over after the next game, but the internal winning result of the small role and the replay is limited to the game.

The control device 900 includes a centralized terminal board 901
Is connected to a management computer 902 composed of a hall computer. In addition, it is connected via a card unit connection board 903 to a card accepting device 904 provided in a sand between tables or an upper panel portion of an island. The card accepting device 904 is accessed by a member card 905 composed of an IC card that records individual game histories for each player. still,
The card accepting device 904 may be connected to the management computer 902 side.

The input side of the controller 900 includes a coin detector 20 for detecting coins inserted from the coin lump 2, a bet switch 5, a start lever 6, an operation switch 8 of the image display device 3, a clearing switch. 13, a stop signal circuit 95 that inputs the stop buttons 7L, 7C, 7R, a position detection circuit 96 for the reels 4L, 4C, 4R,
The payout signal circuit 97 of the built-in coin payout hopper is connected.

The start lever 6 is hit, and each reel 4
After the L, 4C, 4R reaches the constant speed rotation, the operation of each stop button 7L, 7C, 7R is permitted, and when each of the stop buttons 7L, 7C, 7R is pressed, the stop signal circuit 95 and the position detection circuit 96 are pressed. And the stop control table TBC on the ROM, a total of seven symbols from the shortest stop symbol to four frames ahead are checked. If there is a symbol corresponding to the internally won winning combination, the symbol is valid. The pull-in control is performed so as to be lined up on the winning line, and the kick-off control is performed so that other winning combinations that have not been internally won are not established, and the respective reels 4L, 4C, 4R are stopped.

If there is no internal winning, the reels 4L, 4C, 4R are stopped so that no winning combination is established. Even in the game where the bonus flag is carried over to the bonus internal winning, a lottery other than the bonus is drawn, and if the internal winning is performed in the small role or the replay, the pulling and kicking control is performed with priority on the internal winning result of the small role or the replay. Then, the reels 4L, 4C and 4R are stopped.

The internal winning probability of the big bonus is, for example, 1/240 (setting 6) to 1/297 (setting 1), and that of the regular bonus is as low as about 1/364 to 1/468. Even if a bonus prize cannot be won in the established game, the chance does not disappear. However, since the number of bonus symbols included in one reel is small, it is not easy for beginners lacking the pushing force to align the bonus symbols even by the draw-in assist of four frames.

Even after winning the big bonus prize and shifting to the big bonus game, it is not easy for a beginner to practice the replay game. Also, even during a general game, it is not easy for a beginner to wipe out a child role. Therefore, appropriate support is provided based on the record of the individual game history read from the member card 905.

As shown in FIG. 6, in addition to the member ID, the member card 905 includes personal information such as the sex, age, and address of the player, and the number of days of use updated when the card is returned upon completion of the game. , Information indicating the degree of use of the game, such as the total number of games and the total number of big bonuses, and the payout ratio, which is the ratio of payout coins to inserted coins that are also updated when the card is returned, and the average number of wins per big bonus. Information indicating the technical level of the game is recorded.

Each value of these records serves as a weight of the number of points which is a deciding factor of whether or not the operation of the support means is permitted. For example, in the case of a woman, unlike a man, of the support elements constituting the support means, those for beginners are uniformly weighted by plus one. Similarly, the older the elderly,
Greater weight is given to the number of points for support elements for beginners. Conversely, for men and young people, the number of points of the support element for advanced users is weighted. The closer the address area is to the store, the higher the possibility of becoming a regular customer, so a certain weight is assigned.

The greater the information indicating the degree of game use, such as the total number of days of game use, the total number of games, and the number of times the big bonus has been established, the greater the weight of the point number of each support element. The larger the information indicating the game skill level, such as the payout rate and the average number of wins per big bonus, the more negative the support element points for beginners are, and the point of support elements for advanced players. The numbers are weighted positively. It should be noted that a player with an extremely low payout rate is given a negative weight for the number of points of the support element for advanced players.

Weights are added and totalized for each support element, that is, for each column in the table of FIG. 6, and the number of points Pa, Pb, Pc, P for determining whether or not the operation of each support element is permitted.
d, Pe, and Pf. The number of points and the weight on which the points are based may be recorded and managed directly on the member card 905, but the member card 905 records only the value of each record item or, in extreme cases, only the member ID. , The number of points and the weight are determined by the card receiving device 904 or the control device 9 of the gaming machine body 1.
00 or the management computer 902, and may be associated with the input of the membership card 905.

The first embodiment of the support element for beginners adjusts the rotation speed of each of the reels 4L, 4C, 4R. That is, the speed of each of the stepping motors SL, SC, and SR is controlled via the drive circuit 98 in FIG. 5, and the reel rotation speed is set to 80 rotations / minute at normal high speed, 70 rotations / minute at medium speed, and low speed at medium speed. It can be adjusted in three steps of 60 revolutions / minute, and the beginners will be able to reduce the reel rotation speed.

As shown in FIG. 7, the point number Pa corresponding to the reel rotation speed adjustment is a medium speed at a reference value of 5 or more during a general game, a low speed at 7 or more, and a reference value of 4 during a bonus internal winning.
The above is the medium speed, the speed is 5 or more, the speed is low, the normal speed during the big bonus is 3 or more, the medium speed, and the speed is 4 or more, the speed is low. The more beginners, the larger the number of points Pa, and the lower the number of reel rotations.

The reference value during the general game is larger than the reference value during the normal game during the bonus internal winning or the big bonus, and it is difficult to provide support. this is,
In consideration of the fact that advanced players who do not receive support will be dissatisfied for a long period of time, general support will be remedied for those who can not get enough profit in characteristic game situations such as big bonus This is to adapt to the sex.

An advanced player having a large payout rate or an average number of winnings per one big bonus does not increase the reel rotation speed adjustment point Pa, which is a support element for beginners.
No benefit from slowdown. However, even if the reel rotation speed is a normal high speed, the advanced player may have the DD during the general game.
The player can practice the T-hitting technique, win the bonus prize early during the bonus internal prize, and practice the replay hazel during the big bonus, so that this person is not particularly unequal. And even if such advanced people fall their arms and the winning rate etc. worsens, the negative weight of the number of points Pa is removed and it is possible to receive support,
There is no substantial inequality. Note that the deceleration rotation speed and the number of deceleration stages can be variously changed.

By the way, as the rotation speed of each of the reels 4L, 4C, 4R is reduced, the number of drawn frames may be changed at the same time. That is, for example, a normal high speed of 80 rotations /
In the case of minutes, the current 4 frames are enlarged to 5 frames, and in the case of medium speed 70 revolutions / minute, 4 frames are used, and in the case of low speed 60 revolutions / minute, 3 frames are used. The lower the number of revolutions, the lower the number of pull-in frames, making it easier to see the pattern itself at low speeds, and even if it is easier to push, the width of the pull-in assist is narrowed, so that equalization between beginners and advanced users Is kept stricter. Instead of gradually decreasing the reel rotation speed, the reel rotation speed may be fixed and only the number of drawn frames may be increased. Also in this case, since the bonus symbols can be easily arranged, it may be a support function for beginners.

The reference value to be compared with the number of points can be changed by the game store by an input switch separately provided in the control device 900 or the management computer 902. Furthermore, in the above, when the point number Pa of the reel rotation speed adjustment is equal to or more than the reference value, the support is automatically decelerated and the support is provided. The support selection switch separately provided for the player 1 may be activated, and this selection switch may be operated when the player actually receives support.

As shown in FIG. 8, the second embodiment of the support element for beginners permits setting the eye marker 30 on an arbitrary symbol of the pseudo reels 3L, 3C, 3R. Number of points P corresponding to eye markers
b is a reference value of 3 or more during a general game, a reference value of 2 or more during a bonus internal win, and a reference value of 1 or more during a base game during a big bonus (see FIG. 7). Display as allowed. Up, down, left and right buttons 81,
The cursor 80 is moved within the range of three rows in the left, middle, and right and three steps in the upper, lower, middle, and lower parts by 82, 83, and 84. When the cursor 80 is in the upper or lower row and the upper button 81 or the lower button 82 is further pressed, the pseudo reel in the corresponding row scrolls down or up, and a hidden symbol appears. When the enter button 85 is pressed at the position of the cursor 80, a marker 30 is attached to the right side of the symbol. The marker 30 attached to the symbol moves with the symbol.

The markers 30 may be provided one by one in each row.
The color change of red, blue, and green can be added within three rows. The color of the marker to be set first in each column is red 31, the color of blue 32 is next, and the color of green 33 is next. When the cancel button 86 is pressed, all the markers 30 are cancelled.

When the start lever 6 is hit, the pseudo reel 3
The display symbols of L, 3C, 3R are the same as those of the reels 4L, 4C, 4R, and synchronization is ensured. In this way, the assisting is assisted by relying on the markers 30 attached to the pseudo reels 3L, 3C, 3R, and the beginner can be rescued. Advanced players who can practice the DDT batting method, early bonus prize winning or replay hazel are not provided with this support, but are not particularly unequal. However, even beginners do not necessarily need to use the marker, and it is up to the player to use or not use the marker with permission for setting the marker.

By the way, the marker 30 can be set to a symbol arbitrarily selected by the player. However, for example, the marker 30 is automatically added to at least one "Red 7" of the bonus symbol in each row, In addition, a color change may be automatically added to the second “red 7” or “BAR”. Markers 30 are pseudo reels 3L, 3C, 3R.
In addition, a marker lamp is separately attached to the main reels 4L, 4C, and 4R to light them, or "red 7" is displayed on the display windows 40L, 40C, and 40R by using a back lamp behind the reels. May be turned on at the moment of passing through.

Further, not only the visual marker but also at least one “red 7” of the bonus symbol is displayed on the display windows 40L, 4L.
At the moment when the vehicle passes through 0C and 40R, a sound like a metronome may be emitted, or the stop buttons 7L, 7C and 7R, the start lever 6 and a part of the front door 12 may be vibrated. When sound or vibration is applied once per rotation for one “red 7”, the reel rotation speed is set to 80 rotations /
In minutes, the rhythm interval is 0.75 seconds. The rhythm interval is 1.5 seconds when the sound is output once every two rotations, and 1.5 seconds when the sound is output once every four rotations.

As shown in FIG. 9, the third embodiment of the support element for beginners is a reel band 34L, 3L in which an array of all 21 symbols is specified on the left side of the pseudo reels 3L, 3C, 3R.
4C and 34R are displayed. The number of points Pc corresponding to the reel band is 4 or more during the base game, 3 or more during the bonus internal winning, and 6 or more during the normal game during the big bonus (see FIG. 7). The bands 34L, 34C, 34R are statically displayed.

Further, the number of points Pc corresponding to the reel band
Has a reference value of 6 or more during a general game, a reference value of 4 or more during a bonus internal win, a reference value of 7 or more during a base game during a big bonus (see FIG. 7), and display windows 40L, 40C, and 40R.
35L, 35C, 35R display window pattern of 3 frames passing through
Is scrolled from bottom to top in the still image reel bands 34L, 34C, 34R in synchronization with the movement of the reels 4L, 4C, 4R. The three-frame display window symbols 35L, 35C, and 35R to be scrolled make the brightness of the symbol itself and the background portion near the symbol stand out from the others, or are distinguished from the others by a frame box or a line. is there.

Thus, first, the static reel band 34L,
The display of the symbols 34C and 34R makes it clear what the pattern arrangement is, so that it is easier to press the eyes, and if this is not enough, the static reel band 34 is used.
L, 34C, 34R, 3 frame display window pattern 35L,
Since 35C and 35R move in synchronization with the reels 4L, 4C and 4R, the pressing operation can be performed by relying on this portion. For this reason, generous support is provided step by step, and beginners can be effectively rescued.

On the other hand, the point number Pc corresponding to the reel band
As a support for advanced players, the same number of points Pc is not more than the reference value 2 during the general game, not more than the reference value 2 during the bonus internal winning, and not more than the reference value 3 during the normal game during the big bonus (see FIG. 7). ), Each stop button 7L, 7
After the stop operation of C, 7R, the reel bands 34L, 34C, 3
4R is displayed, and stop operation position marks 37L, 37C, 37R in which a stop button is operated are displayed therein,
The actual stop position display marks 38L, 38C, 38R are displayed. As a result, the accuracy of the eye contact is clarified, and the expert is provided with material for evaluating the technology, and the expert is supported.

As shown in FIG. 10, the fourth embodiment of the support element for beginners is for notifying the establishment flag, that is, the internal winning result. In the first place, the presence or absence of the bonus internal winning determines whether the stop appearance of the reels 4L, 4C, and 4R is the reach eye, and the determination of the bonus, the small role, and the internal winning of the replay is effected by a back lamp or the like behind the reel. It is often necessary to make predictions from the beginning, and there are difficult aspects for beginners. Therefore, the point number Pd corresponding to the internal winning result notification is equal to or more than the reference value 5 during a general game,
Even during the bonus internal winning, when the reference value is 5 or more (see FIG. 7), the result of the internal winning of the small role and the replay is notified.

During the base game during the big bonus, the internal winning result of only the small combination is notified at the reference value of 1 or more, and the internal winning result with replay added at the reference value of 2 or more. Further, when the point number Pd is equal to or more than the reference value 8 during the general game and is equal to or more than the reference value 8 during the bonus internal winning (see FIG. 7), the internal winning results of all winning combinations including the bonus are notified.
During the Big Bonus, there is no bonus win, so there is no bonus notification. After the start lever 6 is hit, the internal winning symbol 3 is displayed on the symbol display device 3.
6 is displayed.

In this way, it is possible to narrow down the symbols to be aimed at when performing the stop operation, to avoid unnecessary stop operation blindly, and to effectively support beginners. In addition, there is no particular inequality for an advanced person who can detect the result of the internal winning by the notification by the reel back lamp or the reach eyes. It should be noted that it is not necessary to distinguish between big and regular when notifying the bonus symbol, but to notify as a bonus internal winning common to the big and regular.

As shown in FIG. 11, the fifth embodiment of the support element for beginners discloses a procedure of a replay job which is an advantageous operation procedure during a big bonus.

In the case of the big bonus, unlike a single regular bonus, the game does not start with a single bet jack game but rather with a normal game in which a small bet of a three bet standard can be taken. In the base game during this big bonus, a regular bonus is entered with three "replay" symbols, and a jack game is started. The internal probability of the rush is as high as 1 / 4.267, for example. At the same time, all three of the main small role "wings" are 1/1.
It rises noticeably from 394 to 1 / 2.215, and "feathers"
-"Feather"-"Bird" also has the highest value of 1 / 19.2 during general games
It increases from 75 to 1 / 4.091. The payout also increases. The big bonus ends when three regular bonuses or 30 regular games are completed.

Here, even if there is an internal election of “Replay” that enters the regular bonus in the base game during the big bonus, the “Replay” is intentionally performed by the replay hazard.
In the next game, when the player wins the three sets of "wings" of the main minor role, the number of inserted cards is 3 × 2 games = 6, and the number of paid out cards is 12 A total of 6 cards will be added. Therefore, when the replay hazashi is practiced and the winning combination of the small role is broken in the 30 regular games, an increase in the number of acquired games is expected.

Thus, during the base game during the big bonus, when the number of points Pe corresponding to the release of the operation procedure is equal to or larger than the reference value 2 (see FIG. 7), the procedure of the replay cutout is disclosed. In other words, while displaying the replay removal procedure on the image display device 3, the direction is changed to reverse pressing (pressing the stop button in the order of right, middle, and left), and “birds”, “feathers”, and “birds” are collected on the right reel. Is displayed when aiming at (Fig. 1
1 (A)). Right pseudo reel 3R, reel band 34R,
The display window pattern 35R is also displayed.

After the right reel 4R is stopped by operating the right stop button 7R, the middle reel is displayed when it is beaten (FIG. 11B). The middle pseudo reel 3C, the reel band 34C, and the display window pattern 35C are also displayed. The only thing that can be done with a father is that "replay" and "feather" are almost 1 in the pattern arrangement
This is because a pull-in of 00% is guaranteed. It should be noted that the father hitting is a method of hitting the stop button at random timing, which is opposite to the eye pressing.

After the middle reel 4C is stopped by the operation of the middle stop button 7C, the left reel displays that the way of hitting is changed in a temper situation, and shows a temper pattern and a target symbol (FIG. 11C). In the case of this example, when the replay is removed in the upper stage receiver, the margin of the number of frames is large, and the drop can be easily performed. The left pseudo reel 3L, the reel band 34L, and the display window pattern 35L are also displayed.

If the internal winning of “Replay” originally occurred, but all three “Replays” are not established due to the replay hash, the replay hash is displayed as successful (FIG. 11D). In addition, by implementing the replay fuzzy procedure, the "replay" is not internally elected and "feather"-"feather"-"feather" or "feather"-"feather"-
When there is an internal win of the small win of "bird", the small win for the internal win is automatically established (FIG. 11E).

By the way, in the case of FIG. 11, the procedure of the replay operation is disclosed by a conversation-type navigation linked to the stop of the stop button, but the explanation of the procedure may be disclosed on a collective screen.

As shown in FIG. 12, the embodiment of the support means for advanced users permits display of a game result useful for game evaluation. The subdivision elements of the game result display include the number data, a list of the number of bonuses, small role data,
It includes a missing graph (at the time of the big bonus), a missing graph (at the time of a general game), and a list of flash patterns, and a reference value is determined according to each (see FIG. 7).

If the number of points Pf corresponding to the game result display is equal to or more than each reference value, the selection field F1 of the sub-classification support element which has become equal to or more than the reference value is displayed on the image display device 3.
F2, F3, F4, F5, and F6 are displayed brightly, and the contents can be viewed by moving the cursor 80 and pressing the enter button 85. The more advanced, the brighter the selection field like a medal, the greater the sense of superiority.
In addition, the reference value of each sub-classification support of this game result display is
Not related to the game state.

As shown in FIG. 13, the number of points that can be displayed when the point number Pf corresponding to the game result display is equal to or more than the reference value 3 includes the total number of games, the total number of coins inserted and the total number of coins paid, The difference includes a net increase number, a payout rate, a maximum acquisition number per one big bonus, a minimum acquisition number, and an average acquisition number. When the enter button 85 or the cancel button 86 is pressed, the screen returns to the screen of FIG.

The past history with one set of regular distinctions, the total number of big bonuses with respect to the total number of general games, the appearance rate that is the ratio of the two, the total number of regular bonuses with respect to the total number of general games, and the ratio of both Includes the appearance rate, the number of general games since the last bonus, and the maximum and minimum numbers of games between bonuses. When the past history is large and cannot be displayed on one screen, the screen can be switched by the cursor 80 and the enter button 85.

As shown in FIG. 15, the small combination data that can be displayed when the number of points Pf corresponding to the game result display is equal to or more than the reference value 5 includes the total number of games in the general game, or any of Number of small wins and their appearance rate, the actual number of small wins and their acquisition rate, as well as the total number of normal games at the time of the big bonus, and the number of internal wins for any small wins made during that time And its appearance rate, the actual number of small role acquisitions, and its acquisition rate.

As shown in FIG. 16, in the drop-off graph (at the time of the big bonus) in which the point number Pf corresponding to the game result display can be displayed with the reference value of 5 or more, the standard number of regular games of three bets and one bet. It includes a table listing the number of betting jack game winnings and the number of games, the number of coins inserted and paid out, the difference between the two, the net increase, the number of internal winnings, the number of winnings, and the number of winnings for each winning combination. Missing replays in which the jackpot game is started upon entering the regular bonus is the number of successful replays. Each value may be a total value of a plurality of past big bonuses, or may be displayed for each big bonus by switching the screen.

As shown in FIG. 17, the dropout graph (at the time of a general game) in which the point number Pf corresponding to the game result display can be displayed when the reference value is 8 or more, includes the total number of games, the total number of inserted coins, and the like. It includes a table listing the total number of payouts, the number of net increases as the difference between the two, the number of internal wins, the number of wins, and the number of misses for each winning combination.

As shown in FIG. 18, the flash pattern list that can be displayed when the point number Pf corresponding to the game result display is equal to or more than the reference value 10 is the reels 4L, 4C, 4R.
Immediately after all stoppages, all the 10 kinds of blinking patterns of 3 rows × 3 rows of back lamps arranged behind the reels, and each reel 4L, 4
In the matrix, all seven types of turn-off patterns by the back lamp in conjunction with the stop operation of C and 4R are arranged on a matrix, and the correspondence between the combination of the two and the possible winning combinations is shown. When the cursor 80 is placed on the matrix and the determination button 85 is pressed, a detailed description is displayed as shown in FIG.
It should be noted that the flash pattern may be combined with the presence or absence and type of a notice sound to be played at the moment when the start lever 6 is hit, and a more detailed notification pattern may be displayed.
