Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention
Variable display means for displaying and controlling the variable display,
A game with the function of giving a profit to a player depending on the result.
A pattern group represented by lot machines, pachinko machines, etc.
It relates to a combined gaming machine. 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, typical game machines of this kind have been described.
As a slot machine. Slot machine
Is equipped with multiple rotating reels with multiple symbols arranged on the outer circumference.
Figure when each spinning reel stops
When the pattern combination is in the predetermined stop state, for example,
Wins when they are aligned in a straight line, etc.
It is structured to pay out. Generally this entry
Various contingencies must be taken into account in order to win the award.
And the skill of the player does not completely
Have a gambling element that cannot be trolled
This is a major feature. [0003] In order to realize this "accidentality",
Although various methods have been adopted, recently microcontrollers
Winning lottery by software using computer
After that, reel stop control is performed according to the lottery result.
A slot machine that employs a control method called "pre-stage determination"
Shin is the mainstream. For example, Japanese Patent Publication 3-72313
The slot machine described in the issue is a so-called pachis
(B) A slot machine with a stop button called a gaming machine
, Based on the start switch operation of the player
Random number sampling means for sampling numbers
Hits, medium hits, and small hits depending on the size of
Winning probability table divided into each random number range of
The random number sampled is included in the winning probability table.
If it is included in the winning section, it is determined that the winning combination has been won,
The hit (winning) flag of the winning combination is established.
is there. These winning flags include, for example,
A predetermined symbol (for example, a “bell” symbol or “
Payments of about 10 coins
Winning flag of winning role called "child role" that can get out
Or a predetermined symbol (for example, "7" symbol or "BAR" symbol)
Etc.), a certain number of games,
Winning is more likely to occur than in the skill state,
"Bonus" where you can pay out a large amount of coins of about 00
There is a winning flag of a winning combination called “role”. [0004] Generally, the state in which the winning flag is established is
It is called "internal winning" and the winning
Only allowed to be on the winning line, but still actual
No prize has occurred. To generate a prize
Is a tie that can stop rotating winning symbols on the winning line.
Operation (usually within 4 frames), so-called
"Eye pressing" is necessary and this operation timing is bad
No prize will be generated despite being internally won,
So-called "missing" occurs. [0005] Generally speaking, this drop
Failures, but there are several
First, although the design to be aimed at is decided,
The player cannot recognize the symbol
The pattern of losing, and secondly, winning internally in this game
There are multiple winning combinations that may have
It is not possible to specify whether to stop operation aiming at
There is a pattern that fails by performing a stop operation. [0006] The former requires a certain degree of skill in
Accuracy can be improved, but the latter is an invisible internal election
You need to know the condition,
Even a small player cannot expect to improve the accuracy of eye-catching.
You. [0007] Conversely, as long as the internal winning role is informed,
A button that allows you to earn a large amount of coins even in the normal gaming state.
It is possible to realize a game state such as
Utilizing such pachislot-specific playability
If the specified conditions are met, the internal
Notify the selection and the type of the internal winning combination
Normally does not report anything by reducing missing
Realized a large amount of coin payout compared to games, so to speak
Equipped with a function called "Assist Time (AT)"
There are gaming machines. This is the “game state” section described later.
If it goes differently, it belongs to "general game", but actually
Coin payout should be equivalent to bonus game
It is also possible. Similarly, the “internal winning state” is changed to “winning”.
Depending on whether or not support is provided
As a function to provide small, "Super Time (S
T)). This is the spinning reel
When the stop is controlled by the player's stop button operation,
Stop by sliding a number of frames from the symbol position where the stop operation was performed
Prepare a plurality of "stop tables" to determine
The stop table to be used each time an internal winner is won is determined by random number lottery.
The stop operation sequence set in the stop table.
If the stop operation is not performed in
Can be stopped on the activated pay line
Stop control that does not generate a prize even if operated
And the selected stop table
There are two types: "notify" and "not notify".
As with the "AT function" described above,
A large amount of coins to be paid out are realized. For example, the stop button is for stopping the left reel,
When there are three reel stop and right reel stop
"Left stop, middle stop, right stop", "left stop, right
Stop, middle stop, right stop, left stop, middle stop, middle stop
Stop, right stop, left stop "," middle stop, left stop, right stop "
Six types are prepared, and operation of the stop table determined by random number lottery
If you do not operate according to the order of the work, it will be structured so that winning
To achieve. An operation method advantageous to such a player
Navigation state (in the present invention, "game assistance"
Period) is a normal bonus
Like the winning combination, it is often determined by random lottery etc.
However, recently, they have been presented with “challenge”
"Auxiliary game period" is generated on condition that the title is achieved
Gaming machines with the game characteristics to make them appear. This
"Assignment" is, for example, "Bell" within 20 games.
Win 4 prizes ”,“ 10 prizes for all games ”
Do not let you win internally ”,“ BG playing during bonus game
Operate the stop button according to the specific sound of M. "
Yes, over the course of a few games since the assignment was presented,
Players are required to play pachislot games
"Give the bonus prize role", which is the game character of the technology machine
Focus on accomplishing the tasks presented separately
Then, you will be delighted. [0011] The occurrence of such a "game assistance period" is
Is determined by a lottery for each game, such as an egg lottery.
Is different from the game history.
Thus, its occurrence will be determined. This is on the production side
Also had an effect, and it was difficult to express
The dispensing method was also made easy. For example, as described below
In the world view set for the gaming machine,
Appeared as a similar "hero", enemy "monster"
Battle, and by winning the battle,
There is something that causes "between." This kind of world
There was a gaming machine with a view of the world, but the period during which it was directed
However, there is a tendency that the
You. This is because the directing factors are determined by the winning
, So we ’re going to “direct” over a number of games
Even if a prize occurs on the way,
In the bonus internal winning called the "reach eyes"
If the reel stops in a special stop mode that will not appear
The completion of the production indicates that the bonus prize winning role has been internally won.
It is often sensed before concluding, and it is not an effective production
I couldn't do it. However, the conditions for generating the "game assistance period"
By deciding over the game, in the production side, for example, 1
For each game, perform effects such as "attack" or "defense"
While developing a battle scene over several games,
Victory over enemy monsters
To create a story, for example,
[0013] [Problem to be Solved by the Invention] However, the "game assistance period
The contents of “between” are preset contents, for example, “3”.
0 game, notification of winning flag "
The content is only executed, and the generation
When the game history and production history in Roses are reflected
Was hard to say. An object of the present invention is to provide a state which is advantageous to a player.
Specific game, especially in the present invention, suggest a stop method
About the occurrence of the "game assistance period" or its contents,
In addition to the randomness random chance,
Incorporation, new in "generation" and "execution" of the game assistance period
It can express the continuity of the story in a game-like and even directing way
To provide gaming machines. [0015] The gaming machine of the present invention has various features.
And a predetermined input signal
Winning lottery means for performing a winning lottery based on the
Stop means operably provided to the user, and the lottery means
According to the lottery result and the stop signal from the stop means,
A stop control means for stopping and displaying the fluctuation display;
It is determined whether or not the condition is satisfied, and according to the determination result,
A specific game control means for executing a specific game advantageous to the player; and
Presents an issue to a player on a gaming machine equipped with
Task presentation means, game operation information performed by the player, and selection
Whether the specified effects are met
Task achievement determination means for determining whether or not
Task achievement status storage means and task status storage means to be stored
Based on the specific game to determine the content of the specific game
And a volume determining means. Here, the "specific game" is defined as a ratio between the normal state and the normal state.
A situation in which the player is provided with a lot of profits,
Means paying out large amounts of coins, increasing the probability of winning
This means an increase in the prize rate, and among others, an increase in the prize rate
In the present invention, it is suggested that an advantageous stopping method is suggested aiming at addition.
Called "game assistance." One example of the problem is the embodiment described later.
A certain number of prizes within a certain period, as detailed in
There is an aspect that asks to be born, which will be described later.
Monsters determined by the "Battle Occurrence Table"
Winning the game is a condition for generating a specific game. Performance
In essence, the hero character called "battle production"
Fights against the enemy monster, and the hero
Is one of the specific games
It is configured to generate a game assisting effect. An example of achieving the object is as described below.
Win battles with enemy monsters as detailed in the examples
(Determined by the battle determination process)
You. In addition, the "experience value" obtained thereby is a certain value or more
The main character "Lebe
The difference between this level and
The content of the specific game that is advantageous to the player changes

In the order (from bottom to top). FIG. 7 shows winning symbol combinations in each game state.
It indicates the number of payouts for the combination (winning combination). Here, the internal winning, winning, and playing state
explain about. Internal winning means that the probability lottery process
The sampled random value and the winning probability table
Is determined to be a winning, and the winning combination
The flag is set. The winning flag is, in principle,
There are all winning combinations, but depending on their characteristics,
Only the game that has been completed is valid, and the winning flag is set for the next game.
Is called a small role that does not carry over
Only those with no winning role and games with the winning flag established
Instead of being carried over until a prize occurs,
Also called eggplant (BB) or regular bonus (RB)
, The probability of internal lottery of winning combinations increases, and a large amount of coins are paid out
Is divided into the winning role called the bonus role
Is done. As an example of the small role, for example,
Entering "Cherry" that wins just by stopping on the effect line
Wins when a prize role or three symbols stop on the activated line
There are prizes such as "Bell" and "Watermelon".
You. In addition, regular bonuses and
There is a big bonus. Regular bonus (RB)
Indicates, for example, "BAR-BAR-B" on the activated pay line.
AR "occurs, first pay out 15 cards when winning
I do. And one bonus game (JAC game
Game or character game), 12 times or 8 times
Until a prize is generated. Big bonus (BB) available
For example, "Red 7-Red 7-Red 7" must be on the effect line
First, 15 payouts are made at the time of winning. And B
The probability of winning small roles and RBs called general games in B increases
Game can be played up to 30 times, and during that period, RB
You can play 3 times. RB prize from general game
It occurs when "BAR-BAR-BAR" is complete,
The RB prize from a general game during BB is described in “Replay-Lip
This occurs when "ray-replay" is completed. Replay Winner
When winning, the same number of coins as the number of coins inserted
Since it is automatically inserted, insert coins in the next game
You can play games without. Single bonus (S
B) is displayed on the active line, for example, "7 with sword-with sword-sword"
Affixed with "7", first pay 15 when winning
Go out. And I can play the JAC game once
You. This SB is named "Bonus",
The winning flag is not carried over.
Just like the small role, it is only that game. Next, the game state will be described. The playing state is
There are three main states depending on the presence or absence of the winning flag of the bonus winning combination
And the bonus role has not yet been elected internally
General gaming status, internal lottery in the probability lottery process,
The winning prize has not yet been placed on the activated line
Bonus internal winning state (Bonah
Inside the bonus, and inside the bonus)
Winning symbols are successfully aligned on the activated line during the eggplant internal win
Bonus that is in a state of playing a bonus game
It is roughly divided into a gaming state (also called bonus operation). Further, during the bonus internal winning, the bonus
Depending on the type, it is divided into BB internal winning and RB internal winning
You. Also, during bonus operation, during BB operation and RB operation
Are classified. In addition to the bonus prize winning role, a large amount of
Game state that is advantageous to players who can win
There is a specific state). For example, a general game called “concentration machine”
About the winning probability table of the SB in the middle, the high probability table
(For example, SB internal winning probability 1/2) and low probability table
(For example, SB internal winning probability 1/20)
Lottery to switch to high probability table when using rate table
(Generally called “rush lottery”),
When using a table, a lottery to switch to a low probability table
(Generally referred to as a "punk lottery")
A specific state that the coin gradually increases when using
Have been. The "AT (Assist Time) function"
Called, and set up multiple winning roles that can never win at the same time
(For example, "bell-bell-red 7", "bell-bell-blue
7 "," Bell-Bell-White 7 "
"Red 7", "Blue 7", "White 7", between each symbol
The interval is 4 frames or more), and in the normal state, the type of internal winning combination
Is not notified, so you can see which “7” you can aim for
Theoretically, only 1/3 after internal prize
Is in a state of notifying the internal winning type called the AT period.
Then, you can see the type of the “7” symbol you should aim for.
Even if done correctly, in theory, winning 100% after internal winning
Is possible, and a specific state where coins gradually increase
Are known. The "ST (super time) function"
Called, and a predetermined stop order for one internal winning combination
If the introductory steps are not taken, the winners will be
Stop control in which the winning symbols are not aligned even when performing the pushing operation
Some do. For example, as shown in FIG.
"" From "NO.1"
NO. 6 "up to 6"
The stop table to be used when the internal
Select by lottery. For example, a table in this game
NO. If the stop table of 3 "is selected, the first stop
Middle stop button 27C for operation, left stop button for second stop operation
27L, the right reel stop button 27R in the third stop operation
If you do, a prize will be generated. Other 5 stop sequences
Is a bell pattern on the active line even if the bell is elected internally
Stop control is performed. In the normal state, the stop order is not notified.
So, in theory, you can win only 1/6 after internal winning
Is the type of the selected stop table, called the ST period
In other words, stop order
In the state of notifying, 100% after the internal election in theory
Winners can be won and coins gradually increase
The state is known. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG.
Even if the winning symbols are the same, the number of dividends differs depending on the game state.
I have. For example, a watermelon prize may be played during general
During the internal election, three cards are paid out, but BB
In the medium general game, 15 cards are paid out. "Replay-
`` Replay-Replay '' is for general games and bonus internal
It is a replay winning symbol during the selection, but in the general game during BB
RB winning design, pay 15 in JAC game
It becomes a winning prize design. Also, in this embodiment, other than the bonus winning combination
In addition, the above-mentioned "ST" as an advantageous situation for the player
The ST function will be activated if the specified conditions are met during a general game.
It is configured to operate. To be specific,
Will be the respective prize when the internal prize
Stop sequence required to align the symbol combinations
Information is reported to the player. Therefore, this particular
During the period of the state, the SB or Bell wins are internally won.
The player follows the stop sequence informed.
Prizes can be ensured without any missing
Can be generated. Hereafter this specific state occurs
The period during which the game is present is referred to as a “game assistance period”. The game assistance period is a place where the game is performed during a general game.
Occurs when certain conditions are satisfied in the fixed judgment processing. Ingredient
To be specific, when a winning combination occurs, the winning combination
The point as the value set as a predetermined upper limit
Is subtracted from the value (10 points),
When the calculation result becomes 0 points, an auxiliary period will occur.
You. As an example, during the general game, the display of the liquid crystal display device 14 is displayed.
As the effect displayed on the display screen, the main character's character
And a display that shows the enemy character fighting
To the director) and the battle director
If the public character wins, the software process
In the “Battle determination process” described later,
-HP (hit point: physical strength) is determined to be 0
In this case, the occurrence of the auxiliary period is determined. During the battle production process
When a prize is established, the attack set for that prize
Shooting points (Deduction percentage depending on the monsters appearing
Is different) but the monster's HP default 10 points
When the subtraction is performed and the HP becomes 0, an auxiliary period occurs.
Is determined. Details will be described later. Next, during the general game, the liquid crystal display 1
The effect displayed on the screen of No. 4 will be described. FIG. 9 shows the liquid crystal display device 14 during a general game.
This shows the normal effect displayed on the screen.
You. FIG. 9A shows the display of the liquid crystal display device 14.
On the screen 301, the 3D maze 302 (hereinafter “Danjo

FIG. 11 shows a battle occurrence probability table.
FIG. The battle occurrence probability table changes from the normal state
Represents the transition probability to "battle production", and when a battle occurs
From the normal state, the lottery is performed for each game.
The random number values extracted from the range of 16384 ″ are respectively
Depends on whether the monster belongs to the winning range set
Which of the three monsters
Is decided. The winning range varies depending on the setting.
For example, in the case of the setting 1, it is extracted in the current game.
If the random number is “20”, battle with “Crokka”
Occurs. FIG. 12 shows a specific example of the display in the battle effect.
It is a figure showing an example. As shown in FIG.
When the production is started, the main character is displayed on the right side of the display screen 301.
303 displays a monster 306 on the left side.
The battle has begun. In this battle production
One game (reel reel time) in a normal pachislot gaming machine 1
The main character 303 is
Monster 306 or monster is the master
Make one attack against the public. (This is called "one turn"
Say). During the display of the battle effect, the right of the display screen 301 is displayed.
The number of remaining turns 307 is displayed above. This is
The number of remaining turns possible in the
This indicates the number of remaining games for which the staging is continued. The damage gauges 308L, 3
08R is displayed. This is Mons during the battle
Monster health gauge 308L
Then, the remaining HP of the main character 303 is used as the main character strength gauge 308.
In the battle start screen, both are HP10
Is set, and the number of games advances and battles are deployed
Damage each other as you go. Owed
If it is a monster health gauge depending on the image amount, is it the left side?
To the right, or from the right to the left if the main character is a power gauge.
It died, and the HP of any character became 0
At that time, the battle effect ends. Given to monster 306
The amount of damage is determined by the type of winning
It is. However, even if the same winning combination, monster 30
The amount of damage differs depending on the type of the six. Specifically, the damage table shown in FIG.
As shown, the damage points according to the winning type are
Is subtracted from the monster HP at the time of. For example, cherries
Monster 306 was a Mikapom
1 point in case, 10 points in case of crocker
If it is Higo, 3 points will be subtracted. Ma
Also, the initial HP of monsters is common to all monsters
And 10 points. In FIG. 12B, the main character 303 is Mons
FIG. this
Is displayed as a result of one game
This is the case when. Conversely, the game result is lost
In this case, the hero 303 is attacked by the monster.
In addition, the attack pattern of the hero 303 changes according to the winning type.
Then, for example, as shown in FIG.
In this case, the hero 303 fires a fire at the monster 306
If a “flame attack” is made and a “replay” wins,
Hero 303 fires ice at monster 306
When a “frozen attack” is performed and “watermelon” wins, the master
Duke 303 causes an earthquake and attacks monster 306
If you make a "earthquake attack" and win a "bell",
Duke 303 drops lightning on monster 306.
Attack "and winning the SB, the main character 303
Raise the ring of light from the sky and steal the HP of the monster 306
Perform a “flash attack”. Also, the monster 306 has
The "attribute" is determined by the type of
Pom is a fire element and is vulnerable to freezing attacks.
10 points of damage will be dealt if you win once
It can be defeated with a single shot. Conversely, cherry
(Fire Attack) wins only 1 point of damage
Can not give. Crocus is a water attribute
Cherry prize (flame attack) causes heavy damage
But only a small amount of damage in replay
I can't. Since Higo is an attribute of the earth,
There are no weak points and it is difficult to beat. SB (flash attack)
Can do great damage to all monsters
Can be defeated with a single blow. In FIG. 12C, the monster health gauge 3
08L becomes 0, indicating that the hero has won
You. Thus, the hero 303 during the battle effect period
Is able to defeat monster 306, then
BR which is a game assistance period occurs. BR continues
The number of games played (hereinafter referred to as “BR continuation times”)
As you can see, Mikapom has 30 games and Crocker has 60 games.
Mu and Higo are 120 games. FIG. 14 is a flowchart of the probability lottery process described above.
A winning probability table. The random number is "0-16
383 "and are determined for each winning combination.
Winners will be considered as internal winners of the winning combination.
You. For example, if the random value extracted in this game is 1000
If it is 0, the winning range of the Bell winning role is "2299-11
024 ", so it will be an internal win for the Bell prize winning role.
The random number value extracted in this game was 15000
In this case, it belongs to the range of "13669-16383".
Therefore, none of the prize-winners will be internally won, and
You. The winning range differs depending on the type of winning combination.
For example, the winning range of the Bell winning combination is “8726”
There is width, but the winning range of BB is only 38
No. In other words, the lower the probability of winning
I have. This is because the main character 303
Is correlated with the probability of attacking
As shown in Fig. 13, effective replays (frozen attack
Attack) has a high internal winning probability, so the attack succeeds
Mikapom is a monster that is likely to defeat easily
It can be said that In comparison, it is an effective attack against croca
Some cherries (flame attacks) have a low internal winning probability
Monsta is likely to miss only attacks and is hard to beat
I can say that. This has a low probability of winning a valid prize (attack)
Monsters are stronger monsters that are harder to beat,
In this example, in order of strong monsters,
Mosquito and mikapom are set.
The number of R continuations also tends to increase. FIG. 15 shows the experience value acquisition image after the battle is over.
Plane. In this embodiment, defeating monsters
Value is obtained, and when the experience value reaches a predetermined level, the hero's
Your profession will level up. FIG. 16 shows the results obtained by the defeated monster.
It is an acquisition experience value table showing the experience value obtained. Experience point
Includes “Physical Experience”, “Magic Experience”, and “Intellectual Experience”
Exists, and the experience value obtained by the type of monster
There is bias. For example, Mikapom has a physical strength experience value by defeating
Can gain a large amount of magic experience and intellectual experience.
I can only get it. Defeating Higo will give you less magic experience.
Obtain a lot of intelligence experience
Can be. FIG. 17 shows the level required for each occupation.
It is a level-up required experience table that shows experience
You. Select any occupation at the start of the game and perform a battle effect
Experience points by killing many monsters.
Be stacked. If this experience value exceeds a predetermined value,
And the accuracy of the stop sequence notification during BR is improved.
You. For example, to become a “Level 3 warrior”, 700 points
Into's "Physical Experience" and 120 points of "Magic Experience"
Value ”and 95 points of“ experience ”.
To become a “level 2 monk”, 68 points of “body”
Power Experience ”and 125 Magic Power Experience” and 300 points
Requires "Intellectual Experience" of points. More specifically, the occupation this time is “warrior”
If you select, the occupation level at the start of the game is experience value
Is 0, so the occupation level is also "0". And many
Experience battle production and have 250 points of physical strength experience and magic
30 points of power experience points, 25 points of intellectual experience points
At that point, the level is increased as shown in FIG.
A screen is displayed, and then the level is displayed as shown in FIG.
The display screen 301 indicates that the player has become a warrior. FIG. 18 is a view showing a battle rack during the game assistance period.

No operation order is notified. FIG. 18 (c) shows a stop sequence notification to be described later.
In the lottery process, it is decided to notify "until the second stop operation"
Shows the display screen 301 when it is set.
First, the right stop button 27R is operated as a first stop operation.
Stop button 27L as the second stop operation.
Is reported to be operated. FIG. 19A shows a report of the form shown in FIG.
Operation of right stop button 27R in first stop operation
Then, in the display form when the operation is performed in the correct pressing order,
The display of the stop operation order on the right side explodes.

The display of the three stop operation sequences explodes
Has become. According to the BR described above, the player can display
Perform a stop operation according to the instructions displayed on the screen 301.
Winnings can be easily established with
Can be obtained. This BR is a predetermined game
Continue until the number is exhausted, but
The number of continuations differs depending on the type. FIG. 20 shows the notification probabilities for each stop operation during BR.
It is a table. In this embodiment, the occupation selected by the player
Of stop order notification during BR depending on the type and level of
Is changing. The random number for selection in FIG.
The random number range is from 0 to 127.
Level determines the data used in the selection table.
You. The accuracy of the stop order notification in this embodiment
It depends on whether to continue until the stop operation. In the table
"No notification" means that no notification is made
I have. "Up to the first stop operation" means that at the time of the first stop operation,
Which of the stop buttons 27L, 27C, 27R
Is notified of whether or not to operate, but at the time of the second stop operation,
Notification of stop buttons 27L, 27C, 27R to be operated
Indicates that no action is taken. "Until the second stop operation"
Is the stop button 27 until the first stop operation and the second stop operation
Which stop button should be operated among L, 27C and 27R
This means that the notification is performed. That is, when the bell is internally won,
It is assumed that the probability of occurrence is that the pushing operation is always successful.
In the case of "no notification" in theory, 1/6, "1st stop"
In the case of "until the operation,"
In this case, a prize will be won at 1/1. For example, the main character
The occupation is warrior, the occupation level is 2, and the extracted random numbers for selection
If the value is 50, stop operation until the first stop
The stop buttons 27L, 27C, 27R are notified,
(2) Notification at the time of stop is not performed. That is, of the six choices,
For the first three options, stop buttons 27L, 27C, 27
Notifies which stop button of R should be stopped
However, it informs about the selection of two options at the time of the second stop operation.
Absent. Thus, depending on the selected occupation and its level,
Therefore, by changing the notification accuracy during BR, the winning characteristics
Changes. FIG. 22 is a timing chart showing the operation from the main control circuit 101.
