The first invention is characterized by the following points.
That is, the first invention is a gaming machine that performs a winning lottery for determining whether or not the winning combination has been won and performs an effect based on the result of the winning lottery, and an effect random number for generating a random number for the effect lottery a generating means 331, the effect random number generation means 331 random numbers for effect random which caused a presentation random number extracting means 332 for extracting, based on a predetermined condition, corresponding to the random number for the effect random game machine There the effect table 333 for storing the effect pattern to be executed, the effect determination execution means 335 for executing the effect pattern corresponding to the random number to the effect random number extraction unit 332 has extracted the effect determination execution unit 335 executes a serial憶手stage for storing information about the effect pattern make, on the basis of the stored hand stage information about Starring out patterns that have been stored, the presentation decision execution unit 335 the actual in predetermined game The effect pattern execution disabling means 337 for the same effect pattern and running performance pattern is a presentation pattern that is so as not to execute the effect determination execution unit 335 in the game after the predetermined game, a predetermined condition the triggered, characterized in that it comprises a and a presentation pattern reset means 338 for resetting the information relating Starring out patterns that have been stored in the storage hand stage.

Here, the “game machine” includes a slot machine S, a pachinko machine, and other game machines.
The gaming machine is configured to perform a winning lottery for determining whether or not the winning combination has been won, and to execute an effect based on the winning lottery result.
Specifically, for example, the gaming machine can be provided with a winning lottery means 280 for drawing a winning combination. In addition, the winning lottery means 280 can be formed so as to draw a winning determination whether or not to win based on a predetermined lottery probability. Further, specifically, the winning lottery means 280, the random number generating means 281 for generating the random numbers for the winning lottery, and the random number generated by the random number generating stage 281 under a predetermined condition (operation of the start switch 54, etc.) The random number extracting means 282 to extract, the winning determination table 283 having the winning determination area data consisting of the winning area of each winning item in the entire random number area taken by the random number generating means 281, and the extracted random number data extracted by the random number extracting means 282 And a determination means 284 for comparing the winning determination area data of the winning determination table 283 corresponding to the set value and determining the winning corresponding to the winning area to which the extracted random number data belongs. Then, the random number extraction unit 282 extracts the random number generated by the random number generation unit 281 when, for example, the start switch 54 is operated, and the extracted random number belongs to one of the winning areas of the winning determination table 283. Whether or not the determination means 284 determines. When the extracted random number is determined by the determination means 284 to belong to a predetermined winning area, the winning combination corresponding to the winning area is won. On the other hand, when it is determined that the random number does not belong to any winning area, the random number can be formed to be lost. Thereby, the gaming machine can perform a winning lottery as to whether or not the winning combination has been won.

Further, the gaming machine includes an effect random number generation means 331, an effect random number extraction means 332, an effect table 333, an effect determination execution means 335, an effect pattern storage means (storage means) 336, and an effect pattern execution invalidation means 337. And production pattern resetting means 338.
The “effect random number generating means 331” is for generating a random number for effect lottery.
Specifically, for example, the effect random number generating means 331 can be formed so as to generate a random number for effect lottery within a predetermined area (for example, 0 to 65535 in decimal notation). In addition, the production random number generation means 331 generates a random number by an average sampling method as a soft random number (a random number generation method by repeating the extraction of the central n-digit number by squaring an n-digit number). Or a counter that adds numbers in a certain range one by one at a high speed.

Further, the “effect random number extracting means 332” is for extracting the effect random numbers generated by the effect random number generating means 331 based on a predetermined condition. Specifically, for example, the operation of the start switch 54 can be applied as the “predetermined condition”.
The “effect table 333” is for storing an effect pattern executed by the gaming machine corresponding to the random number for effect lottery.
Specifically, for example, an effect pattern stored in the effect table 333 can be provided corresponding to the random number extracted by the effect random number extraction means 332.
The effect patterns stored in the effect table 333 are provided corresponding to random numbers, but a plurality of effect patterns that result in the same effect may be stored in the effect table 333. Specifically, for example, the effect pattern “A” corresponding to the random number 100 and the effect pattern “C” corresponding to the random number 450 may be effect patterns in which substantially the same effect is performed.

The “effect determination execution means 335” is for executing an effect pattern corresponding to the random number extracted by the effect random number extraction means 332.
Specifically, for example, the effect determination execution means 335 is performed by the effect random number generation means 331 based on the extracted random number data for effect lottery corresponding to the disturbance extracted by the effect random number extraction means 332 and the numerical area data of the effect table 333. It is possible to collate with the determination lottery data for the effect lottery made up of the areas of the respective items in the entire random number area taken by, and determine and determine the item corresponding to the area to which the extracted random number data belongs.
Further, for example, the effect determination execution means 335 is formed so as to output an execution effect pattern signal, which is information for specifying the determined effect pattern, to an effect pattern storage means 336 and an effect pattern execution invalid means 337 described later. can do.

The “effect pattern storage means 336” is for storing an execution effect pattern that is an effect pattern executed by the effect determination execution means 335.
More specifically, for example, the effect pattern storage unit 336 receives the execution effect pattern signal output from the effect determination execution unit 335, thereby executing the execution effect pattern that is the effect pattern executed by the effect determination execution unit 335. And the data for specifying the execution effect pattern recognized by receiving the execution effect pattern signal can be stored.
Here, the data for specifying the execution effect pattern stored in the effect pattern storage means 336 includes, for example, the effect pattern signal itself or data obtained by converting the effect pattern signal that can specify the execution effect pattern. Including.

Further, the “effect pattern execution invalidating means 337” indicates that if the effect pattern corresponding to the random number extracted by the effect random number extracting means 332 is the same as the effect effect pattern stored in the effect pattern storage means 336, the effect random number This is to prevent the effect determination execution means 335 from executing the effect pattern corresponding to the random number extracted by the extraction means 332.
Specifically, for example, the production pattern execution invalidation unit 337 receives the production production pattern signal output from the production determination execution unit 335 described above, thereby producing the production pattern corresponding to the random number extracted by the production random number extraction unit 332. Can be formed. In addition, for example, the execution pattern execution invalidating unit 337 includes an execution effect pattern signal output from the above-described effect determination execution unit 335 and data for specifying an execution effect pattern stored in the effect pattern storage unit 336. Referring to the data for specifying the execution effect pattern stored in the effect pattern storage means 336, it is determined whether there is the same execution effect pattern signal output from the effect determination execution means 335. Can be formed. At this time, the data format of the execution effect pattern signal output from the effect determination execution means 335 is different from the data format for specifying the execution effect pattern stored in the effect pattern storage means 336, and the data is as it is. If the data cannot be compared with each other, the data can be converted into data that can be compared.

Then, the effect pattern execution invalid means 337 is the same as the execution effect pattern signal output from the effect determination execution means 335 in the data for specifying the execution effect pattern stored in the effect pattern storage means 336. If there is, an execution invalid signal can be output to the effect determination execution means 335.
Here, the effect determination execution means 335 can be formed so as not to execute the effect pattern when the execution invalid signal output from the effect pattern execution invalid means 337 is received. Specifically, when the execution determination execution unit 335 receives the execution invalid signal, the production random number generation unit based on the extracted random number data for the production lottery extracted by the production random number extraction unit 332 and the numerical value area data of the production table 333 Even if the effect pattern is determined by collating with the determination lottery data for the effect lottery consisting of the areas of the respective items in all the random number areas taken by 331, the effect pattern is not executed. be able to.

Also, at this time, when the execution determination execution unit 335 receives the execution invalid signal, the production random number generation unit based on the extracted random number data for the production lottery extracted by the production random number extraction unit 332 and the numerical value area data of the production table 333 It is also possible to form so that the production pattern is not executed without collating with the determination lot data for production lottery made up of the areas of the respective items in the entire random number area taken by 331.
The “effect pattern reset means 338” is for resetting the effect pattern storage means 336 by deleting an execution effect pattern stored in the effect pattern storage means 336 in response to a predetermined condition. .

  Further, for example, the “predetermined condition” is “turning on the power of the gaming machine”, and the presentation pattern resetting means 338 is formed so as to reset the presentation pattern storage means 336 when the gaming machine is turned on. Can do. Further, for example, the “predetermined condition” is set to “predetermined switch operation”, and the effect pattern resetting unit 338 is formed so as to reset the effect pattern storage unit 336 when the predetermined switch is operated. be able to. Also, for example, when a gaming machine has a setting value in which a payout rate based on the winning probability is set, the “predetermined condition” is set to “selection of setting value” and the setting value is selected. As a result, the effect pattern resetting means 338 can be formed so as to reset the effect pattern storage means 336.

In this case, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, the effect table 333 includes effect patterns “A” corresponding to random numbers “0 to 200”, effect patterns “B” and “400” corresponding to random numbers 200 to 400. It is assumed that an effect pattern “C” corresponding to a random number of “˜600”, an effect pattern “D” corresponding to a random number of “600 to 800”, and the like are stored. Then, as shown in FIG. 7, for example, when “100” is extracted as a random number, the effect of the effect pattern “A” is executed.
At this time, as shown in FIG. 7A, when the random number 100 is extracted by the effect random number extraction means 332, the effect pattern “A” corresponding to the random number 100 is executed by the effect determination execution means 335. The effect pattern “A” executed by the effect determination execution means 335 is stored in the effect pattern storage means 336 as an execution effect pattern.

Then, as shown in FIG. 7B, when the random number 150 is extracted by the effect random number extraction means 332, the effect pattern corresponding to the random number 150 is the effect pattern “A”. “A” is not executed, and the performance to be performed is not pear.
Also, for example, if the production patterns “A”, “B”, “C”, “D”, etc. are productions that are executed when the BB game is won, the BB game is won by that time. In a gaming machine that has been played many times, once the performance pattern once performed is not executed again, there are many opportunities for the performance not to be performed even if the BB game is won, and conversely, the BB game has been won by that time. In a gaming machine with a small number of times, when a BB game is won, the chances of production are increased. As a result, in the case of a gaming machine that does not produce even if the BB game is won, the player can already expect that the BB game has been won many times, and in the case of a gaming machine that produces effects, The player can expect that the number of winning the BB game is small.

  Further, for example, when a plurality of effect patterns that result in the same effect are stored in the effect table 333, specifically, for example, when a predetermined effect “X” is performed However, when both the case where the BB game is won and the case where the BB game is not won are included, in other words, when the BB game is won and when the BB game is not won In both cases, when the production lottery means 330 is formed so that the production “X” is likely to be performed, there are many cases where the production “X” has already been performed but the BB game is not won. In the case where there is a game, the execution effect pattern stored in the effect pattern storage means 336 is not executed again. Therefore, when the effect “X” is executed, if the player is highly likely to win the BB game, Predict Can. That is, for example, in the case where almost all the production patterns when the BB game is not won are executed, the player is predicted to some extent that the BB game is won only by the production “X”. Can be made.

As a result, it is possible to provide a variety of effects to the player, and the effects that are executed differ as the time the game is played. The interest can be sustained without diminishing the interest of the player. Moreover, since the presentation performed with the passage of time changes, the customer base who likes each of the presentations changed with the passage of time of the game changes, and the operating rate may increase.
In addition, according to the present embodiment, when the time of playing the game has elapsed and a number of effects are performed, the effect pattern corresponding to the random number extracted once is not performed. The result of the winning lottery can be predicted to some extent, and the fun of the game over time can be taken into account. Specifically, after a certain amount of game time has elapsed, for example, it is possible to notify the player to some extent that the player has won the BB game by giving a specific effect, and it is interesting for the player. Can do.

In the present embodiment, the effect pattern resetting means 338 is configured to reset the effect pattern storage means 336 by turning on the power of the slot machine S that is a gaming machine.
Thus, for example, in the game hall where the gaming machine is installed, the presentation pattern storage means 336 is reset each time the gaming machine is turned on in order to start business on that day, and a new execution presentation pattern of the gaming machine is set. Can be remembered.
Also, the effect pattern stored in the effect table 333 according to the present embodiment is formed so as to execute one partial effect pattern stored in the partial effect table 334 or a combination of two or more partial effect patterns. ing. Here, a predetermined effect is set in the partial effect pattern. Thereby, the effect table 333 may store only data indicating the combination of partial effect patterns. Therefore, as a gaming machine, it is only necessary to store a partial effect pattern stored in the partial effect table 334, one partial effect pattern stored in the effect table 333, or a combination of two or more partial effect patterns. A variety of performance patterns can be stored with a small storage capacity.

The slot machine S according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described below.
In the first embodiment, the effect pattern resetting means 338 is configured to reset the effect pattern storage means 336 when the slot machine S that is a gaming machine is powered on.
On the other hand, in the second embodiment, the effect pattern reset means 338 is configured to reset the effect pattern storage means 336 when the set value of the slot machine S that is a gaming machine is selected. ing.

Specifically, in the second embodiment, the setting selection unit 340 outputs a setting selection signal to the effect pattern reset unit 338 every time the setting selection switch 121 is operated and a setting value is selected. It is formed to do.
Further, in this case, every time the setting selection signal is received, the effect pattern resetting unit 338 is configured to delete the execution effect pattern stored in the effect pattern storage unit 336 and reset the effect pattern storage unit 336. ing.
Further, in the present embodiment, the operation pattern storage unit 336 is reset each time a setting value is selected by operating the setting selection switch 121. That is, not only when changing the setting value of the gaming machine, but also when the setting value is reset to the same value, the effect pattern storage means 336 is configured to be reset.
