Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine including an image display device for effect display.

  In recent pachinko machines and slot machines, an image display device such as a liquid crystal display is incorporated, and various effects by images are performed according to the progress of the game. For example, in a pachinko machine, when a pachinko ball enters a specific winning opening (starting opening) on the game board surface, a winning lottery using random numbers is performed, and symbols such as numbers and marks are variably displayed on the image display device, When the winning is determined by the winning lottery, the variation display of the symbol is stopped after the unique effect image is displayed, and the winning symbol such as “777” is stopped and displayed.

  When the winning symbol is stopped and displayed in this way, an open / close board (attacker) built in the game board surface opens and a large winning opening that is normally closed appears, and most of the pachinko balls flowing down the game board surface win the prize. Easy state. When the attacker opens and a certain number of pachinko balls enter the special winning opening or when a certain time has elapsed, the attacker is temporarily closed (end of the first round). Once the attacker is closed, it is opened again and the second round is entered. In the second and subsequent rounds, the attacker is similarly controlled to open and close, and for example, it is normal to be able to repeat up to 15 rounds.

  In this way, the image display device is not only used for display of the variation of symbols, but also used for displaying effect images for enhancing the interest of the player, and various types of effect images are prepared. Yes. (For example, Patent Document 1) Even when winning is determined by winning lottery, which one of a plurality of types of effect images is used is selected by effect lottery, and does not necessarily become a uniform effect image.

On the other hand, even when a loss is determined in the winning lottery, an effect lottery is performed, and an effect image is usually displayed together with a variation display of the symbol, and the effect image is unique with a background image of the symbol variation display There are things that move and display these characters to predict the hits, etc., and contrivances have been made to increase the interest of the player.
JP 2000-217986 A

  By the way, in recent pachinko machines, there is a tendency to increase the types of effect images in order to enrich the contents of the game, such as those in which a plurality of types of effect images are displayed during a single symbol variation display. However, the increase in the types of effect images increases the capacity of the memory that stores the display data of the effect images, which increases the manufacturing cost of the pachinko machine.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine, a program, and a recording medium that can enrich production images while preventing an increase in manufacturing cost.

  In order to achieve the above object, in the gaming machine according to claim 1, the effect image selected based on the result of the winning lottery for determining the winning or losing is displayed from the image display device, and the design is displayed on the image display device. The winning lottery result is displayed by performing a variable display, and the effect image is composed of a background image and a subtitle image that is displayed together with the background image and displayed separately from the symbol. A gaming machine, wherein a plurality of subtitle selection tables in which a plurality of types of subtitle images are associated with each other are provided so that each of the plurality of background images has a different aspect of the subtitle image, the subtitle selection table and the subtitle selection Production mode lottery means for selecting the background image associated with the table by production mode lottery, and the caption selection selected in the production mode lottery A subtitle lottery means for selecting one of the subtitle images of a table by a subtitle selection lottery executed with a probability corresponding to the result of the winning lottery, the subtitle image selected by the subtitle selection lottery, and the subtitle image Display control means for displaying the corresponding background image from the image display device is provided.

  In addition, the effect mode lottery and the caption selection lottery are performed a plurality of times during the symbol variation display, and the second and subsequent effect mode lotteries are selected according to the type of the caption selection table selected in advance. It is preferable that any one of the caption selection tables thus selected is selected by the effect mode lottery.

  In addition to the above, the subtitle selection lottery is performed a plurality of times during the variation display of the symbol, and a combination of the subtitle selection tables used in each of the subtitle selection lotteries is set in advance. A combination of selection tables is preferably selected.

  Moreover, it is preferable that the display color of the caption image varies depending on the type.

  Moreover, it is preferable that audio output means for outputting the content of the subtitles displayed in the subtitle image as audio is provided, and the audio output means varies the intonation of the audio according to the type of the subtitle image.

  The program of the present invention includes a caption selection table and a rendering mode lottery means for selecting a background image associated with the caption selection table by a rendering mode lottery, and the subtitles of the caption selection table selected by the rendering mode lottery. Subtitle lottery means for selecting one of the images by subtitle selection lottery executed with a probability corresponding to the result of the win lottery for determining win or loss, the subtitle image selected by the subtitle selection lottery, and the subtitle image A computer of a gaming machine is made to function as display control means for displaying the corresponding background image from the image display device.

  Further, the recording medium of the present invention provides a caption selection table and a rendering mode lottery means for selecting a background image associated with the caption selection table by a rendering mode lottery, and the caption selection table selected in the rendering mode lottery Subtitle lottery means for selecting one of the subtitle images by a subtitle selection lottery executed with a probability corresponding to the result of the win lottery for determining win or loss, the subtitle image selected by the subtitle selection lottery, and the subtitle image And a computer-readable recording medium storing a program for causing a computer of the gaming machine to function as display control means for displaying the background image corresponding to the image from the image display device.

  According to the present invention, the effect image is composed of a background image and a subtitle image that is displayed separately from the background image, and selects a subtitle selection table to be used in the subtitle selection lottery. The effect mode lottery is executed, and one of the subtitle images in the subtitle selection table selected in the effect mode lottery is selected by the subtitle selection lottery executed with a probability corresponding to the result of the lottery, and is selected by the subtitle selection lottery. The subtitle image and the background image corresponding to the subtitle image are displayed from the image display device, so that the variation of the effect image can be increased by simply increasing the number of subtitle images that can be displayed with display data having a smaller capacity than the background image. This makes it possible to enrich the production image while preventing an increase in manufacturing cost.

  In addition, the effect mode lottery and the subtitle selection lottery are performed a plurality of times during the symbol variation display, and the subtitle selection selected according to the type of the subtitle selection table previously selected in the second and subsequent effect mode lotteries Since one of the tables is selected by the effect mode lottery, it is possible to display a plurality of types of subtitle images during the variation display of the symbols, and it becomes impossible to predict the development of the game. You can prevent getting bored with games.

  In addition, the subtitle selection lottery is performed a plurality of times during the change display of the symbols, and combinations of subtitle selection tables used in the respective subtitle selection lotteries are set in advance. Therefore, it is possible to display a plurality of types of subtitle images during the display of changes in symbols, and it becomes impossible to predict the development of the game, thereby preventing the player from getting bored with the game.

  In addition, since the display color of the subtitle image differs depending on the type of the subtitle image, it is possible to display the degree of expectation that the winning is won by the display color of the subtitle image, and the contents of the game can be clarified.

  In addition, the content of the subtitles displayed in the subtitle image is output as audio, and the audio intonation varies depending on the type of subtitle image, so it is possible to display the degree of expectation that it was won by the audio intonation It becomes possible, and the contents of the game can be clarified.

  FIG. 1 shows a pachinko machine that is one embodiment of the gaming machine of the present invention. A game board 11 is incorporated in the pachinko machine 10 and its front surface is covered with a glass door 12 so as to be freely opened and closed. A liquid crystal display (image display device) 15 for displaying a change / stop display of symbols and an effect image is provided in the board surface of the game board 11. The game board 11 is further provided with a start winning port 16, a normal winning port 17, a through chucker 18, an out port 19, and the like, and an open / close door-shaped attacker 20 is incorporated. In the state shown in the figure, the attacker 20 is in the closed position. However, when the attacker 20 is opened, the big prize opening 21 is exposed to the board surface, and the pachinko balls flowing down the board surface are guided by the inner surface of the attacker 20 in the opened position. Easy to get into. A pair of speakers 22 is provided on the front surface of the glass door 12 at the top. A sound is output from the speaker 22 when a sound effect or music at the time of symbol change / stop display, or when an effect image is displayed.

  The start winning opening 16 has a pair of movable wing pieces. When it is detected that the pachinko ball flowing down the board surface has passed through the through chucker 18, the wing pieces of the starting winning opening 16 are opened for about 0.2 seconds, for example. At that moment, the pachinko ball easily enters the start winning opening 16. When a pachinko ball enters the start winning opening 13, a winning lottery is performed and a winning / losing decision is made.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the image display area 15 a of the liquid crystal display 15 is divided into a background image display area 20, a caption image display area 21, and a symbol variation area 22. From the background image display area 20, for example, a background image 20a including a person (character) shown in the figure is displayed. From the subtitle image display area 21, for example, a subtitle image 21a representing a person's speech shown by the background image 20a is displayed. And the background image 20a and the caption image 21a displayed in combination with this constitute an effect image. In the symbol variation area 22, the symbol 23 is variably displayed. The symbol 23 is composed of nine types of numbers “1” to “9”. The symbol 23 is displayed in the background display area 20 when it is stopped. When the pachinko ball enters the start port 16, the stop display of the symbol 23 in the background display area 20 is stopped, and at the same time, the variable display of the symbol 23 is started in the symbol variation area 22. When the variable display of the symbol 23 is finished, the symbol 23 is stopped and displayed again in the background display area 20, and the winning lottery result is displayed. As described above, during the variation display of the symbol 23, the symbol 23 is displayed in the symbol variation region 22, thereby increasing the visibility of the background image 20a and increasing the player's interest in the effect image.

  If the same numbers are aligned when the symbol 23 is stopped, the hit mode is entered and the attacker 20 is released. As a result, most of the pachinko balls flowing down the board surface are guided by the inner surface of the attacker 20, and a large number of prize balls are obtained by winning the big winning opening 21. When the attacker 20 opens and ten pachinko balls win the big winning opening 21, or when 30 seconds elapse, the attacker 20 is temporarily closed and the first round is finished. When a certain period of time has elapsed since the end of the first round, the attacker 20 is released again and the second round is entered. Then, exactly the same control is repeated until the 15th round. When the fifteenth round ends, the hit mode ends.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the operation of the pachinko machine 10 is controlled by the control board 30. The control board 30 includes a CPU 31. The CPU 31 refers to the program in the working memory 32 and controls the entire control board 30 according to this program.

  The start port sensor 33 detects that a pachinko ball has entered the start port 16 and inputs a detection signal to the CPU 31. The special winning opening sensor 34 detects a pachinko ball that has entered the special winning opening 21, and inputs the detection signal to the CPU 31. This information is appropriately written in the working memory 32 by the CPU 31 and used for opening / closing control of the attacker 20 via the attacker control device 35. The normal winning port sensor 36 inputs a detection signal to the CPU 31 when a pachinko ball enters the normal winning port 17. In response to this signal, the CPU 31 operates the payout control device 37, thereby paying out a predetermined number of prize balls. Note that even when the detection signals from the start port sensor 33 and the big prize winning port sensor 34 are input, the payout control device 37 operates to perform a predetermined number of paying out of the award balls.

  The payout sensor 38 detects a prize ball passing through the prize ball payout path, and inputs the detection signal to the CPU 31. The CPU 31 compares the number of award balls determined according to the detection signals from the start port sensor 33, the big winning port sensor 34, and the normal winning port sensor 36 with the award ball detection signal from the payout sensor 38, and awards. It is monitored whether or not the balls are paid out without excess or deficiency. When the prize balls are not paid out due to clogged balls or the prize balls are paid out due to fraud, the lamp control device 39 or the voice control device (voice output means) ) A signal is sent to 40 so that an error is displayed or an error warning is given by voice.

  The winning lottery unit 41 receives an instruction from the CPU 31, performs electronic lottery using random numbers, and determines a winning / losing decision. The winning lottery is performed when a pachinko ball enters the start port 16. The result of the winning lottery is written in the working memory 32.

  The subtitle lottery section (subtitle lottery means) 42 performs subtitle selection lottery with a probability corresponding to the winning lottery result, and a plurality of preliminarily prepared subtitle selection tables (subtitle selection tables) 42a to 42d are prepared in advance. Which subtitle image is to be displayed from the liquid crystal display 15 is selected.

  The first to fourth subtitle selection tables 42a to 42d are made up of a winning table used when winning in the winning lottery and a lost table used when winning in the winning lottery. Subtitle selection lottery is performed by selecting a table corresponding to the result. In the winning table and the loss table, subtitle images in the same mode are assigned to each. Then, random numbers are assigned in each table so that the selection probabilities between the subtitle images in the same mode differ depending on whether or not the winner is won. Thus, depending on the type of subtitle image to be displayed, the level of the possibility of winning the win, that is, the reliability of winning the win is displayed. There are also subtitle images provided only in the winning table and subtitle images provided only in the lose table. When these are selected, the reliability is 100% or the reliability is 0%.

  The production mode lottery section (production mode lottery means) 43 selects one of the first to fourth subtitle selection tables 42a to 42d and the combination of the background images associated with each of these by the production mode lottery, and selects the subtitles. The first to fourth subtitle selection tables 42a to 42d used in the lottery and the background image type are determined.

  The effect mode lottery and the subtitle selection lottery are executed, for example, twice during the one-time symbol variation display. The second lottery is executed after a predetermined time has elapsed since the caption image was displayed for the first time. In the second effect mode lottery, for example, when the caption selection table selected for the first time is the first caption selection table 42a, either the second caption selection table 42b or the fourth caption selection table 42d precedes. When the selected subtitle selection table is the second subtitle selection table 42b, the first to fourth subtitles selected first time, such as either the third subtitle selection table 42c or the fourth subtitle selection table 42d. A subtitle selection table is selected from the plurality of first to fourth subtitle selection tables 42a to 42d selected according to the types of the selection tables 42a to 42d. The types of the first to fourth subtitle selection tables 42a to 42d selected for the second time are stored in the working memory 32 in association with the types of the first to fourth subtitle selection tables 42a to 42d selected for the first time. The CPU 31 determines the first to fourth subtitle selection tables 42a to 42d to be selected for the second time by referring to this.

  The background image memory 44 stores display data of a plurality of types of background images for each address assigned to each background image, and the address is selected in the rendering lottery. The first to fourth subtitle selection tables 42a to 42d are also associated with the background image address. Thus, in the effect mode lottery, the background image and the first to fourth subtitle selection tables 42a to 42d corresponding to the background image are selected. A plurality of types of subtitle images are stored for each address in the subtitle image memory 45, and the addresses are selected in the subtitle selection lottery.

  When displaying the effect image, the display control device (display) displays the display data of the subtitle image starting at the address specified by the subtitle lottery unit 42 and the display data of the background image starting at the address specified by the effect appearance lottery. Control means) 46. In response to this, the display control device 46 displays each image from the liquid crystal display 15.

  The display data of the subtitle image is created so that the display color of the subtitle differs depending on the type of the subtitle image. For this reason, if the player changes the display color, for example, the subtitle image with high reliability is red, the subtitle image with low reliability is white, and the intermediate subtitle image is yellow, the player can change the type of subtitle image. Even if the corresponding reliability is not stored, the reliability can be identified by the display color of the caption image, thereby making it easy to understand the contents of the game. Further, the display control device 46 controls not only the effect image but also the symbol variation display and the stop display according to the command from the CPU 31.

  The audio data memory 46 stores audio data corresponding to each caption image for each address. The audio data starting from the address designated by the subtitle lottery unit 42 is transferred to the audio control device 40. In response to this, the audio control device 40 causes the speaker 22 to output the content of the subtitle displayed as the subtitle image. The audio data is created so that the intonation varies depending on the type of subtitle image. For this reason, the player can know the reliability by the intonation of the sound output together with the subtitle image without visually recognizing the subtitle image.

  Next, the flow of the effect process executed when the effect image is displayed will be described. As shown in FIG. 4, when a pachinko ball is detected at the start port 16 and a winning lottery is executed, the winning lottery result is written in the working memory 32. When the winning lottery ends, the effect mode lottery unit 43 executes the effect mode lottery.

  When the effect mode lottery ends, the subtitle selection lottery 42 executes the subtitle selection lottery using the first to fourth subtitle selection tables 42a to 42d selected in the effect mode lottery. At this time, the CPU 31 refers to the working memory 32 to identify the winning lottery result, and inputs the identified result to the caption lottery unit 42. In response to this, the subtitle lottery unit 42 selects the winning table or the lose table of the first to fourth subtitle selection tables 42a to 42d selected in the production mode lottery, and the subtitle selection lottery is selected in the selected table. Executed.

  When the subtitle selection lottery is finished, the symbol variation display is started, and the background image corresponding to the first to fourth subtitle selection tables 42a to 42d selected in the production mode lottery and the subtitle image selected in the subtitle selection lottery are displayed. Displayed from the liquid crystal display 15. In addition, the content of the subtitles of the subtitle image displayed at the same time is output as audio from the speaker 22. When a certain amount of time has elapsed from the display of the caption image, the effect mode lottery is executed again.

  At this time, the production mode lottery unit 43 selects the first through fourth production mode lotteries according to the types of the first to fourth subtitle selection tables 42a to 42d selected in the first production mode lottery. Subtitle selection tables 42a to 42d are selected. This prevents the contents of the caption shown in the caption image from being unnaturally connected. When the subtitle selection lottery is finished for the second time and the subtitle image and the background image are displayed for the second time, the symbols are stopped and displayed, and the result of the winning lottery is displayed. When winning in the winning lottery, the CPU 31 shifts to the winning mode.

  A plurality of types of symbol variation times may be set, and the number of executions of the effect mode lottery may be determined by one symbol variation display according to the variation time. In this case, for example, when the other symbols are stopped except for the last one and the symbol being changed is stopped, the symbol change time can be relatively long in a so-called reach state. For example, as the number of executions of the production mode lottery increases, the player's sense of expectation can be increased.

  In addition, the selection probability for each type changes depending on the result of the lottery for the first to fourth subtitle selection tables 42a to 42d to be selected subsequently, or the type of subtitle image to be selected subsequently is a lottery. If the selection probability of the first to fourth subtitle selection tables 42a to 42d to be selected subsequently and the selection probability of the subtitle image are set according to the result of the lottery, such as the selection probability for each type varies depending on the result The player's expectation that a highly reliable subtitle image is displayed a plurality of times can be enhanced, and the player's game when the effect mode lottery is executed a plurality of times during one variation display It is effective in increasing interest.

  As another embodiment different from the present invention, when the subtitle selection lottery is executed a plurality of times during one symbol variation display, the first to fourth subtitle selection tables 42a to 42d used in each subtitle selection lottery are used. Combinations can be set in advance. In this case, in the working memory 32, for example, the first subtitle selection table 42a (first time) → the second subtitle selection table 42b (second time), the third subtitle selection table 42c (first time) → the fourth subtitle selection table 42d (2 The number of subtitle selection lotteries and the types of the first to fourth subtitle selection tables 42a to 42d used in association with each other may be stored in association with each other. Hereinafter, the flow of the rendering process according to this embodiment will be described, but detailed description of the part that performs the same process as in FIG. 4 will be omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 5, when the winning lottery ends, an effect mode lottery is performed. In the effect mode lottery, a combination of subtitle selections stored in the working memory 32 is determined by lottery, and the determined combination is written in the working memory 32. Each time a subtitle selection lottery is performed, the working memory 32 is referred to, and a subtitle selection table used in the subtitle selection lottery is identified. The processing after the subtitle image is selected in the subtitle selection lottery is the same as that in FIG.

  FIG. 6 shows an example in which a recording medium (CD, flexible disk, IC memory, MO, etc.) 60 is installed in the slot machine 10, and the recording medium 60 has means as shown in the flowcharts of FIGS. A program to be realized by the computer 61 including the CPU 29 and the working memory 30 is stored. In this case, for example, any one of a caption selection table and a rendering mode lottery means for selecting a background image associated with the caption selection table by a rendering mode lottery, and the caption image of the caption selection table selected by the rendering mode lottery. A subtitle lottery means for selecting a subtitle selection lottery executed with a probability corresponding to a result of a win lottery for determining a win or a loss, the subtitle image selected by the subtitle selection lottery, and the background corresponding to the subtitle image A program for causing the computer 61 to function as display control means for displaying an image from the image display device is recorded in the recording medium 60. Then, the recording medium 60 is loaded into the reading device 62 and the program is installed in the slot machine 10.

  The program can be distributed to the slot machine 10 using the Internet instead of being installed via the recording medium 60. It is also possible to install the distributed program of the present invention or the program of the present invention read from the recording medium 60 in a personal computer and play a slot machine game on a monitor.

  As described above, the image display apparatus has been described according to the illustrated embodiment. In addition to the liquid crystal display, an EL (electroluminescence) display or a display device in which LEDs are arranged in a dot matrix may be used as the image display device.

  In the above embodiment, the subtitle selection lottery is executed a plurality of times during one symbol variation display. However, the subtitle selection lottery may be performed once for one symbol variation display. In the subtitle selection lottery, not only the type of subtitle image is selected, but whether or not to display a subtitle image may be determined simultaneously.

  The present invention is equally applicable not only to pachinko machines but also to gaming machines that execute effect lottery and display effect images, such as slot machines. When the present invention is applied to a slot machine, reels are used in the slot machine, symbols are arranged on the outer periphery thereof, and symbols are displayed in a variable manner by rotation of the reels.
