Description

  The present invention relates to a pachinko gaming machine that includes an operation button that can be pressed by a player at the front of a gaming machine body.

  The pachinko gaming machine is provided with an image display for displaying various effect images on the gaming board. In recent years, a pachinko gaming machine has been proposed in which a player is allowed to participate in an effect displayed on the image display (for example, Patent Document 1). This is because an operation button that can be pressed by the player is arranged at the front of the gaming machine main body, and when the player presses the operation button, the effect displayed on the image display is changed. Is. Here, as a change in the effect displayed on the image display, it is well known that an operation effect image different from the case where no press operation is performed is displayed on the image display along with the pressing operation of the operation button. . In such a pachinko gaming machine, since the player can participate in the production by pressing the operation button, the player's interest can be enhanced.

  In the configuration including such operation buttons, the operation timing for prompting the pressing operation of the operation buttons is set, and the operation effect image is displayed when the player presses the operation buttons so as to match the operation timing. Like to do. For example, the operation timing is set to occur during the execution of a symbol generation process that fluctuates a special symbol, and the operation effect image displayed in response to the pressing operation of the operation button is an effect that leads to the final stop of the special symbol. In the configuration set as a part, when the player presses the operation button, the operation effect image is displayed as if the special symbol is hit or lost. According to this configuration, the player's consciousness of participating in the production can be effectively increased, and the effect of raising interest is also high.

JP 2007-307163 A

  In the conventional configuration described above, in general, it is difficult to press the operation button in accordance with the operation timing, and in particular, a game in which the operation button pressing operation of the operation button of a person with little game experience or an elderly person is relatively weak. For a person, it is more difficult to perform a pressing operation in accordance with the operation timing. Therefore, in the case of such a player, even if the operation button is pressed many times, the operation timing cannot be matched and the operation effect image may not be displayed at all. In this case, the gaming property of causing the player to participate in the production by pressing the operation button is not exhibited at all, and the player is likely to lose interest in the pressing operation of the operation button. In connection with this, if the player stops pressing the operation button or changes the machine base, the significance of game play of participating in the effect by pressing the operation button is lost.

  The present invention proposes a pachinko gaming machine capable of sufficiently exhibiting the gaming property of participating in production by pressing an operation button.

  The present invention provides an image display that displays an effect image, an operation button that is disposed at the front of the gaming machine main body and can be pressed by the player, and a timing notification means that informs the player of a preset operation timing. And a pachinko gaming machine comprising button effect control means for displaying a predetermined operation effect image on the image display device by pressing the operation button at the operation timing notified by the timing notification means. The button effect control means is configured to perform the pressing operation when the timing at which the player presses the operation button is within a data acquisition period set before and after the operation timing and is different from the operation timing. A time difference acquisition process for calculating a time difference between the generated timing and the operation timing and storing it as time difference data; When the condition start condition is satisfied, based on the time difference data stored by the time difference acquisition process, an allowable operation period for displaying the operation effect image by pressing the operation button by the player is set before or after the operation timing. The pachinko gaming machine is characterized by comprising: an operation permissible process set to 1 and a permissible canceling process for canceling the permissible operation period set by the operation permissible process when a preset permissible expiration condition is satisfied. .

  Here, the data acquisition period can be set before or after all operation timings or predetermined operation timings. For example, a configuration in which the data acquisition period is set only for the operation timing at which the allowable operation period is not set is preferable. In the time difference acquisition process, the time difference data may be data indicating the absolute value of the time difference between the timing when the operation button is pressed and the operation timing, or data indicating before and after the operation timing. In the latter case, for example, when the operation button is pressed before the operation timing, the time difference data is displayed as “− (minus)”, and when the operation button is pressed after the operation timing, the time difference data is “+”. (Plus) "is displayed. The operation permissible process is a process for setting an allowable operation period using one or a plurality of stored time difference data. For example, when setting based on a plurality of time difference data, the minimum value of the time difference data is set. Various setting methods, such as setting with a maximum value or setting with a statistical distribution, can be applied.

  In such a configuration, when the permissible start condition is satisfied, the operation effect image is displayed when the player presses the operation button within the allowable operation period, so that the timing when the operation button is pressed is displayed. Even if it is different from the operation timing, by displaying the operation effect image, it is possible to give the player the impression that his own pressing operation was in accordance with the operation timing, and to increase the player's satisfaction Can do. When a player such as the above-mentioned inexperienced player or an elderly person cannot press the operation button in accordance with the operation timing, if the permissible start condition is satisfied, the operation effect is accompanied by the pressing operation of the operation button. Since the image is easily displayed, the above-described impression and satisfaction can be given more strongly. In particular, in the present invention, since the allowable operation period is set according to each player, even a player who is easy to press within the allowable operation period and who is not good at pressing the operation buttons. The above-described operational effects can occur stably. Therefore, according to the configuration of the present invention, there is a problem of the above-described conventional configuration in which an operation effect image is not displayed because the operation timing does not match even if an inexperienced person or an elderly person operates the operation button many times. It is possible to solve the problem, and even a player who is not good at pressing the operation buttons can fully enjoy the playability and the interest of participating in the production by pressing the operation buttons.

  In the pachinko gaming machine described above, the operation start processing allowable start condition is set as a condition that is established when the number of stored time difference data stored by the time difference acquisition processing reaches a predetermined threshold number. Proposed.

  In such a configuration, since the allowable operation period is not set unless the number of times that the player performs the pressing operation of the operation button within the data acquisition period reaches the threshold number, the number of times until the threshold number is reached is not set. The player is required to perform a pressing operation. In other words, even if the player cannot press the operation button in time with the operation timing, the permissible operation period is set so as to pay for the effort by patiently repeating the pressing operation. Therefore, if a player who is relatively not good at the pressing operation described above presses the operation button several times, the allowable operation period is set and the operation effect image is easily displayed, and the game performance and interest of participating in the effect. You can fully enjoy.

  Further, in this configuration, since the allowable operation period is set by the time difference data of the number of memories corresponding to the threshold number, the allowable operation period is set based on the plurality of time difference data by setting a plurality of threshold numbers. Process. As the setting process, all the time difference data may be used, or a part of the time difference data may be selectively used.

  In the pachinko gaming machine described above, the operation allowance process of the button effect control means sets an allowable operation period before and / or after a predetermined number of operation timings when a preset allowable start condition is satisfied. A configuration is proposed in which the permissible expiration condition of the permissible cancellation process is set as a condition that is satisfied when all of the permissible operation periods of the predetermined number of operation timings have expired.

  In such a configuration, a predetermined number of allowable operation periods are set when the allowable start condition is satisfied, and the operation effect image is easily displayed by the set number of allowable operation periods. Thereby, even a player who is not good at pressing the operation buttons described above can enjoy the operation effect images for the number of times.

  In the pachinko gaming machine described above, the operation permitting process of the button effect control means is a plurality of times that are shortened in stages in accordance with the order of generation of the operation timings before and / or after a plurality of operation timings that are sequentially generated. A configuration having processing contents for setting the permissible operation periods is proposed.

  In such a configuration, since the allowable operation period that occurs sequentially is shortened in stages, it becomes difficult to gradually press the operation button within the allowable operation period, and the operation is accordingly performed. The effect image also becomes difficult to be displayed gradually. In other words, this means that the gain of the allowable operation period is gradually reduced by sequentially generating a plurality of allowable operation periods that are shortened in stages. According to this configuration, even when the allowable operation period is set, the player's skill can be improved because the player is required to press the operation button so as to match the operation timing as much as possible. Even when the allowable operation period is shortened, it is easier to display the operation effect image than when the operation button is pressed in accordance with the operation timing. it can.

  In the pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention described above, the symbol display device that displays the special symbols in a variable manner, the start opening provided with the ball detecting means for detecting the winning of the game ball, and the ball detecting means for the start opening, By detecting, a starting memory generating means for generating and storing a starting memory, and a symbol generating process for performing a hit determination by digesting an undigested starting memory and hitting or losing a special symbol according to the determination result And a game control means for executing the operation, and is configured such that one or a plurality of operation timings are generated during the execution of the symbol generation process. The allowable start condition of the process is that the result of the winning determination by the game control means is a hit determination, and the number of pieces of time difference data stored by the time difference acquisition process exceeds a predetermined threshold number The case, configuration is one that is set as the established conditions is proposed.

  In such a configuration, since the allowable operation period is set at the operation timing that occurs in the symbol generation process for hitting and determining the special symbol, in the symbol generation process, the player can Since the operation button is easy to press, and an operation effect image is displayed along with this, it is possible to make the player feel as if the player has hit and confirmed the operation button. As a result, it is easy for players to make a strong impression of winning by their actions (pressing operation), and for players who are relatively poor at pressing operation buttons such as those with little gaming experience or elderly people Even if it exists, it is easy to produce big satisfaction with the game of pressing the operation button. Therefore, it is possible to more effectively enhance the playability and interest of participating in the production.

  In such a pachinko gaming machine, a configuration is proposed in which the permissible expiration condition of the permissible cancellation process is set as a condition that is established when the permissible operation period of the operation timing that occurs within the symbol generation process has expired. The

  In such a configuration, since the allowable operation period is set in the symbol generation process that hits and determines the special symbol, in this symbol generation process, the playability of participating in the production by pressing the operation button is conspicuous. Can be made.

  As described above, according to the present invention, when the permissible start condition is satisfied, the permissible operation period is set before or after the operation timing based on the time difference data between the timing when the operation button is pressed and the operation timing. Therefore, even if the player is not good at pressing the operation button, if the allowable operation period is set, it becomes easy to press the operation button within the allowable operation period. It becomes easy to display the effect image. Therefore, according to the configuration of the present invention, even such a player can fully enjoy the gameability and the interest of participating in the production by pressing the operation button.

  In the present embodiment, the main memory board 60 implements the start memory generation unit according to the present invention, and executes the above-described winning detection process. In addition, the game control means according to the present invention is realized by the main control board 60 and the symbol control board 63, and the special symbol processing described above is executed.

  Next, the main part of this invention is demonstrated according to the following Examples 1-3.

  As shown in FIG. 1, an operation button device 71 having an operation button 72 is provided at the front portion of the upper tray 7 on the lower panel portion 9 of the gaming machine main body 3. The operation button device 71 includes a frame portion 73 so as to surround the operation button 72, and the operation button 72 fitted in the frame portion 73 is movable in the vertical direction (not shown). Further, the operation button device 71 is provided with an elastic spring that urges the operation button 72 upward, and the operation button 72 is normally positioned at a position slightly protruding above the frame portion 73. When the player presses the operation button 72, the operation button 72 descends against the urging force of the elastic spring, and by releasing the pressure, the operation button 72 is moved up according to the urging force of the elastic spring to the normal position. Return.

  Further, the operation button device 71 has a built-in detection sensor that detects a pressing operation of the operation button 72. This detection sensor is constituted by a photo sensor, and generates a predetermined operation signal when the light emitting unit and the light receiving unit are blocked by the operation button 72 moved down by a pressing operation. The operation button device 71 is connected to the main control board 60, and an operation signal generated by the detection sensor is output to the main control board 60 every time the operation button 72 is pressed by the player.

  Since the operation button device 71 including the operation button 72 described above can be applied to a general button structure for pressing operation, the details thereof are omitted.

  On the other hand, the operation timing at which the player presses the operation button 72 is set during the execution of the above-described special symbol generation process. In the present embodiment, the control process is performed so that the upper limit of three operation timings is generated in one symbol generation process. The number of occurrences of the operation timing is determined by the operation counter value constituting the same start memory based on the determination result of the jackpot counter value constituting the start memory of the special symbol described above. Also, based on the number of occurrences determined by the operation counter value by the operation effect counter value that constitutes the same start memory, the image pattern of the timing notification video G (see FIG. 10) that informs the player of the operation timing and the operation timing, The image patterns of the operation effect images H1 to H3 (see FIG. 11) are determined.

  Here, when the big hit counter value is determined to be a hit by digestion of the start memory, the operation timing causes the operation timing to be generated three times in the symbol generation process. The number of operation timing occurrences is selected from zero to three times (see FIG. 5). In the case of loss determination, the probability of occurrence of one or two operation timings is increased. When it is determined that one or more operation timings are generated based on the operation counter value, the image pattern of the timing notification moving image G and the operation effect image H1 are further determined according to the operation effect counter value by the above-described effect image pattern selection process (see FIG. 5). Select an image pattern of ~ H3. In the present embodiment, the operation timing notified by the timing notification moving image G is also determined by the image pattern of the timing notification moving image G selected by the operation effect counter value. Furthermore, in this effect image pattern selection process, an effect image pattern is also selected based on each random number counter value other than the above constituting the start-up memory as described above, and the timing notification moving image G and the operation effect images H1 to H3 are selected. A series of effect image patterns displayed in the symbol generation process are determined together with the image patterns. Then, according to the determined series of effect image patterns, an effect image including a still image and a moving image is displayed on the image display 14.

  As the timing notification video G, as shown in FIG. 10, a video is set until the “arrow” image g1 is fired toward the “target” image g2 and hits the “target” image g2. The timing at which the “arrow” image g1 hits the “target” image g2 is the operation timing, and the operation timing is notified by the timing notification moving image G. Thereby, the player can press the operation button 72 in view of the operation timing when the “arrow” image g1 hits the “target” image g2. When the operation timing matches the timing at which the player presses the operation button 72, the operation effect images H1 to H3 are displayed as shown in FIG. By displaying the operation effect images H1 to H3, the player is notified that the operation button 72 has been pressed according to the operation timing. As the operation effect images H1 to H3, the operation effect image H1 is selected when the operation timing and the timing of pressing the operation button are first matched among the operation timings generated in one symbol generation process. The operation effect image H2 is displayed when the operation timing matches the timing of the operation button pressing operation for the second time, and the operation timing of the third time matches the timing of the operation button pressing operation. In this case, the operation effect image H3 is displayed. As described above, the operation button 72 is pressed at the operation timing and the operation effect images H1 to H3 are displayed, thereby allowing the player to participate in the effect.

  Whether or not the operation timing generated in the symbol generation process coincides with the timing when the operation button 72 is pressed by the player is determined by the operation determination process of FIG. That is, when the operation button 72 is pressed by the player, an operation signal is output from the operation button device 71 to the main control board 60 accordingly, and whether or not the output timing of this operation signal coincides with the operation timing. Determine whether. When this determination result is determined to match, processing for displaying the above-described operation effect images H1 to H3 is executed.

  Furthermore, the operation determination process performs a process of determining whether or not the output timing is within the data acquisition period when it is determined that the output timing of the operation signal does not coincide with the operation timing. As shown in FIG. 9, this data acquisition period is set before and after the operation timing generated in the symbol generation process, and specifically, is set to 2 seconds before and after the operation timing (4 seconds in total). Yes. If it is determined that the output timing (timing when the operation button 72 is pressed) has occurred within this data acquisition period, a time difference data calculation storage process is performed for calculating a time difference between the two timings and storing the calculated time difference data. Do. Here, the time difference data is represented by “− (minus)” when the output timing occurs before the operation timing, and represented by “+ (plus)” when the output timing occurs after the operation timing. Is done.

  In such an operation determination process, every time it is determined that the output timing of the operation signal generated within the data acquisition period is inconsistent with the operation timing, the time difference data is sequentially stored by the above-described time difference data calculation storage process, This is represented by the acquired cumulative value M. Here, in this embodiment, the time difference data that can be stored within one data acquisition period is set as one. Further, when it is determined that the output timing of the operation signal (the timing when the operation button 72 is pressed) coincides with the operation timing, if the time difference data is stored, all the stored time difference data is erased. To reset the acquired cumulative value M. Thereby, the time difference data and the acquired cumulative value M are stored and maintained when the timing when the operation button 72 is pressed is not consistent with the operation timing.

  Further, in the operation determination process, every time time difference data is stored, it is determined whether or not the acquired cumulative value M has reached a preset threshold number (for example, five), and the acquired cumulative value M reaches the threshold number. If so, a process of setting an allowable operation period before or after the operation timing that will occur after the next time (permissible period setting process of FIG. 6) is performed. Here, in the allowable operation period, when the operation signal output timing is generated by the pressing operation of the operation button 72 within this period, the above-described operation effect images H1 to H3 are displayed even if they do not coincide with the operation timing. In other words, if the timing at which the operation button 72 is pressed is within the allowable operation period, it is considered that the pressing operation has been executed at the operation timing, and the display of the operation effect images H1 to H3 is executed. When the allowable operation period is set in this way, the operation effect images H1 to H3 are easily displayed.

  The permissible period setting process (see FIG. 6) for setting the permissible operation period is a process for setting the permissible operation period based on the time difference data of the same number of memories as the threshold number. The period start to set the start point of the allowable operation period based on the smallest time difference data with the smallest time difference data displayed as "-(minus)" and the largest time difference data displayed as "+ (plus)". Time is calculated, and a period expiration time for setting the expiration point of the allowable operation period is calculated from the largest time difference data (see FIG. 9). Then, an allowable operation period is set between the period start point obtained by subtracting the period start time from the operation timing and the period end point obtained by adding the period expiration time to the same operation timing (see FIG. 9). Here, if the time difference data displayed as “− (minus)” is not stored, the start point of the allowable operation period coincides with the operation timing, and the time difference data displayed as “+ (plus)” is not stored. The expiration point of the allowable operation period coincides with the operation timing. In such a case, the allowable operation period is set to either one before or after the operation timing.

  In the permissible period setting process (see FIG. 6) for setting the permissible operation period, the permissible operation period is set by the above-described period start time and period expiration time for each predetermined number of operation timings. In the configuration of the first embodiment, since the allowable operation period is set before and after the three operation timings, the three allowable operation periods are set.

  In the allowable period setting process, when the period start time and the period expiration time calculated for setting the allowable operation period are calculated and stored, the stored time difference data is erased and the acquired cumulative value Reset M. Further, when the allowable operation period is set, the above-described data acquisition period is invalidated.

  Further, in the first embodiment, “5” is set as the above threshold number, and the allowable operation period is set when the storage number of the time difference data reaches the threshold number. Such an allowable start condition is set as a condition that is established when the acquisition difference value M of the time difference data exceeds the threshold number (5). On the other hand, since the allowable operation period is set before and after the three operation timings described above, the allowable expiration condition according to the present invention is a condition that is satisfied when the three allowable operation periods expire. Is set.

The process of setting the allowable operation period described above will be described in detail below in relation to the display of the timing notification moving image G and the operation effect images H1 to H3.
By digesting the start memory by the special symbol processing of FIG. 4, the special symbol display device 15 starts to change the special symbol, and the control processing for displaying the effect image including the still image and the moving image on the image display 14 is executed. . Thereby, the symbol generation process of a special symbol is started.

  Here, in the special start memory digesting process of FIG. 5, the start memory is digested, and the operation flag = 1 is determined based on the operation counter value, with the operation flag = 1. Here, if it is decided to execute the operation timing twice, the timing count value N = 2. Furthermore, as described above, the image pattern of a series of effect images displayed in the symbol generation process is determined by effect image pattern selection processing. This series of effect image patterns includes an image pattern of the timing notification image G that is displayed twice. Thereby, the operation timing of two times is decided. And by the permission flag = 0, the data acquisition period set before and after each operation timing is validated.

  In the symbol generation process, effect images including still images and moving images are sequentially displayed on the image display 14 in accordance with a series of effect image patterns determined based on each random number counter value. And the timing notification animation G of the 1st time is started by the operation effect process of FIG. In this timing notification video G, as shown in FIGS. 10A to 10E, the “arrow” image g1 emitted by the “bow” image g3 advances toward the “target” image g2, and the “arrow” image The operation timing is notified at the timing when g1 hits the “target” image g2. Furthermore, when the preset data acquisition period starts, the data acquisition period starts.

  Here, when the player presses the operation button 72 in anticipation of the operation timing notified by the above-described timing notification moving image G, an operation signal is output from the operation button device 71, and the operation determination process of FIG. It is determined whether or not the signal output timing matches the operation timing. If the determination result is “match”, the operation effect image W1 (see FIG. 11A) is displayed by the operation effect display process of the operation effect process of FIG. 8 with the operation effect value W = 1. On the other hand, when the determination result is “mismatch”, if this output timing occurs within the data acquisition period, the time difference between the output timing and the operation timing is calculated by the time difference data calculation storage process described above, The time difference data is stored (see FIG. 9). When the time difference data is stored, “1” is added to the acquired cumulative value M to set M = 1. If the acquired cumulative value M does not exceed the threshold number (5), the allowable flag = 0 is maintained. Here, the time difference data is represented by “− (minus)” when the output timing is before the operation timing, and is represented by “+ (plus)” when the output timing is after the operation timing (see FIG. 9). If the output timing does not occur within the data acquisition period, the time difference data is not calculated, so even if the operation button 72 is pressed outside the data acquisition period set before and after the operation timing, No time difference data is generated, and the pressing operation itself is invalidated.

  When the display of the timing guidance video G is completed by the operation effect process of FIG. 8, “1” is subtracted from the above-mentioned timing count value N, and N = 1 is set. After that, when the second timing notification video G is started, it is determined whether or not the operation signal output timing matches the operation timing by the operation determination process of FIG. In this case, the operation effect value W = 2, and the operation effect image H2 (see FIG. 11B) is displayed by the above-described operation effect display process (see FIG. 8). On the other hand, if the determination is “mismatch”, since the allowance flag = 0, if the output timing is generated within the data acquisition period, the time difference data is calculated by the time difference data calculation storage process as described above. And the acquired cumulative value M = 2. Then, by the operation effect process of FIG. 8, the timing number value N = 0 is set when the display of the timing guidance video G is completed. Accordingly, the operation effect value W = 0.

  As described above, for each symbol generation process, it is determined whether or not the timing (operation signal output timing) at which the operation button 72 is pressed and the operation timing match or does not match, and if there is a mismatch, the output timing is within the data acquisition period. If this occurs, the time difference data is calculated and stored. Each time the time difference data is stored, the acquired cumulative value M is cumulatively added. If the output timing and the operation timing coincide with each other, the stored time difference data is deleted, and the acquired cumulative value M is reset.

  When the symbol generation process is executed a plurality of times and the determination that the operation timings and the output timings of the operation signals do not coincide with each other continues, the acquired accumulated value M reaches the threshold number (5). = 1 and the allowable number of times value R = 3 (see the operation determination process in FIG. 7). When the permissible flag = 1, the time difference data having the smallest “−” display and the time difference data having the largest “+” display are selected from the stored time difference data by the allowable time period setting process of the allowable time period process of FIG. As described above, as described above, an allowable operation period is set before and / or after one of the three operation timings generated thereafter (see FIG. 9). That is, the period start time is calculated from the smallest time difference data, and the period expiration time is calculated from the largest time difference data. The start point of the allowable operation period can be set by subtracting the period start time from the operation timing, and the expiration point of the allowable operation period can be set by adding the period expiration time to the operation timing. If the period start time is “0”, the operation timing is the start point of the allowable operation period, and if the period expiration time is “0”, the operation timing is the end point of the allowable operation period. In this allowable period setting process, the period start time and period expiration time calculated in this way are stored, and the stored time difference data is erased and the acquired accumulated value M is reset. Further, the data acquisition period is invalidated by the permission flag = 1.

  Here, when the next operation timing occurs in the ongoing symbol generation process when the acquired cumulative value M reaches the threshold number (timing number value N> 0), the allowable period setting process is performed as described above. The period start time and period expiration time are obtained and stored by (see FIG. 7), and an allowable operation period is set before and after the next operation timing. Similarly, when a plurality of operation timings occur in the ongoing symbol generation process, an allowable operation period is set for each operation timing by the above-described period start time and period expiration time. When the allowable operation period is thus set, the timing notification video G is started to be displayed as described above, and when the operation button 72 is pressed by the player, the operation determination process in FIG. Then, it is determined whether or not it occurred within the allowable operation period. If it is determined that the determination result is generated within the allowable operation period, “1” is added to the operation effect value W, and the operation effect images H1 to H3 are displayed by the operation effect display process (see FIG. 8) according to the W. indicate. Then, as the allowable operation period expires, “1” is subtracted from the allowable number of times value R, and if R> 0, the allowable flag = 1 is maintained (see FIG. 8). Even when it is determined that the output timing does not occur within the allowable operation period, the allowable number of times value R is subtracted. In this case, since the data acquisition period is invalidated as described above, processing for generating and storing time difference data is not executed.

  When the symbol generation process has expired (timing number value N = 0), if the allowable number value R> 0, the allowable flag = 1 is maintained. After that, when the next symbol generation process is started, since the allowable flag = 1, before or after the operation timing that occurs in the symbol generation process by the above-described allowable period setting process (see FIG. 6). The allowable operation period is set based on the stored period start time and period expiration time. When the symbol generation process is started, if the allowable number of times value R <the timing number of times value N, an allowable operation period is set for the operation timing corresponding to the allowable number of times value R. Alternatively, if the allowable number of times value R ≧ the timing number of times value N, an allowable operation period is set for each of the operation timings generated in the symbol generation process.

  In the symbol generation process in which the allowable operation period is set in this way, the timing notification moving image G is displayed as described above, and the timing at which the player presses the operation button 72 (output timing of the operation signal) occurs within the allowable operation period. Is determined, “1” is added to the operation effect value W, and operation effect images H1 to H3 are displayed. Then, as the allowable operation period expires, the allowable number of times value R is subtracted. When the allowable operation period of three times expires in this way, the allowable number of times value R = 0, so the allowable flag = 0 is set, and the stored period start time and period expiration time are deleted, and the data acquisition period is set. Valid.

  As described above, according to the configuration of the first embodiment, even when the pressing operation of the operation button 72 is performed so as to match the operation timing by the timing notification moving image G, the timing of the pressing operation does not coincide with the operation timing. In the case of five occurrences, an allowable operation period is set before and after three operation timings that occur thereafter. If the timing at which the operation button 72 is pressed is within the allowable operation period, the operation effect images H1 to H3 are displayed even if the timing does not match the operation timing. In such a state where the allowable operation period is set, the timing of the pressing operation by the player is likely to occur within the allowable operation period, and the operation effect images H1 to H3 are also easily displayed. Therefore, even if the player is relatively poor at pressing the operation button 72, such as a person who has little gaming experience or an elderly person, the gameability and the interest of participating in the production by pressing the operation button 72 Can enjoy. Furthermore, since the setting of the allowable operation period can be said to be a privilege for a player who presses the operation button 72 so as to match the operation timing, the operation button 72 is pressed to a general player. The effect of suppressing the act which is not performed can also be exhibited. Therefore, according to this configuration, since the operation button 72 cannot be pressed easily in accordance with the operation timing, the interest in the pachinko game is diminished, and the stand-off such as stopping the game or changing the machine base is suppressed. be able to.

  Further, in the first embodiment, since the number of operation timings (three times) for setting the allowable operation period is determined, when this number of times (three times) the allowable operation period expires, the normal operation is resumed. The pressing operation of the operation button 72 that coincides with the operation timing is essential. Thereby, the game nature of pressing the operation button 72 in accordance with the operation timing can be appropriately maintained.

  In the first embodiment, the button control means according to the present invention is realized by the main control board 60, the presentation control board 62, and the image control board 65. Processing and operation effect processing are executed. Further, the time difference acquisition process according to the present invention is realized by the operation determination process of the first embodiment, and the operation permission process and the permission cancellation process according to the present invention are realized by the permission period process of the first embodiment. ing. Further, the image control board 65 (effect control board 62) and the image display 14 realize the timing notification means according to the present invention.

  In the configuration of the second embodiment, the allowable operation period set before and / or after the predetermined number of operation timings is set so as to be shortened step by step with the operation timings sequentially generated. Is. That is, in the configuration in which the allowable operation period is set in association with the three operation timings as in the first embodiment described above, the allowable operation period set before and after the first operation timing is the longest, and the first allowable time is set. The allowable operation period that is shortened compared to the operation period is set for the second time, and the allowable operation period that is shortened compared to the second allowable operation period is set for the third time. In the second embodiment, the second allowable operation period is set to be 0.8 times shorter than the first allowable operation period, and the third allowable operation period is set to the first allowable operation period. The period is set to be shortened by 0.6 times.

  As processing for setting such an allowable operation period, as in the above-described first embodiment, when the accumulated cumulative value M reaches the threshold number (5) by storing the time difference data, the allowable flag = 1 and the allowable The number of times R is set to 3 (see the operation determination process in FIG. 7). Then, by the allowable period setting process (see FIG. 6), the above-described period start time is calculated from the smallest “−” display time difference data among the stored time difference data, and the largest “+” display time difference data. To calculate the period expiration time described above. Then, before and after the next operation timing, an allowable operation period (first time) is set according to the calculated period start time and period expiration time with an allowable number of times value R = 3. Thereafter, before and after the next operation timing, a time obtained by multiplying the period start time and the period expiration time by 0.8 respectively is calculated according to the allowable number of times value R = 2. Set the allowable operation period (second time) according to. Thereafter, before and after the next operation timing, a time obtained by multiplying the period start time and the period expiration time by 0.6 each is calculated based on the allowable number of times value R = 1. Set the allowable operation period (third time) according to.

  The configuration of the second embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment described above except that the allowable period setting process (see FIG. 6) sets the allowable operation period as a stepwise reduction. Since the same constituent elements are provided and the same control process is executed, a duplicate description is omitted.

  In the configuration of the second embodiment, the allowable operation period that is set before and after a plurality of operation timings that are sequentially generated is shortened in stages, so that when the allowable operation period is set, Although it becomes easy to display the operation effect images H1 to H3 by the pressing operation of the operation button 72 by the player, the ease thereof is gradually reduced. Therefore, even when the allowable operation period is set, the player is required to make an effort to match the pressing operation of the operation button 72 with the operation timing as much as possible. Therefore, compared with the configuration of the first embodiment described above. Thus, the gameability of pressing the operation button 72 in accordance with the operation timing can be strongly maintained. Thereby, the setting of the allowable operation period not only makes it easy to display the operation effect images H1 to H3, but also improves the skill of the player who performs the pressing operation in accordance with the operation timing.

  In the configuration of the third embodiment, before and after the operation timing in the symbol generation process of determining and hitting the special symbol when the number of stored time difference data (accumulated cumulative value M) reaches a predetermined threshold number. An allowable operation period is set. Even if the acquired cumulative value M exceeds the threshold number (5), the allowable operation period is not set in the symbol generation process in which the loss is determined.

  In the present configuration, as described above, if the result of determining that the big hit counter value is determined by winning the start memory by the special start memory digest processing of FIG. 5 is “hit”, the big hit flag = 1. Then, with the big hit flag = 1, the operation flag = 1 and the timing number value N = 3 according to the operation counter value. Then, similarly to the first embodiment described above, a series of effect image patterns including the image pattern of the timing notification moving image G is determined according to the other counter values, and the effect image is displayed on the image display 14.

  Even in the configuration of the third embodiment, similarly to the first embodiment described above, the output timing of the operation signal is continuously generated within the data acquisition period, so that the time difference data is obtained by the operation determination process of FIG. Is stored and the acquired cumulative value M is cumulatively added.

  In this way, when the acquired cumulative value M obtained by cumulative addition reaches 5, if the big hit flag = 1 as described above, the allowable flag = 1 and the allowable number of times value R = 3. If the allowable flag = 1, the allowable period setting process of the allowable period process in FIG. 12 determines the period start time and the period expiration time based on the stored time difference data, as in the first embodiment. The allowable operation period is set before and / or after the operation timing generated in the symbol generation process.

  Here, in the third embodiment, when the acquired cumulative value M reaches 5 by the operation determination process of FIG. 13, if the big hit flag = 0, the permissible preparation flag = 1 (and the permissible flag = 0). The allowable number of times value R = 3. Thereafter, when the big hit flag = 1 is obtained by digestion of the start-up memory, the allowable operation period is set by the allowable period setting process in the same manner as in the first embodiment, with the allowable flag = 1 being set by the allowable period process of FIG. In this case, an allowable operation period is set before and after all three operation timings that occur in the symbol generation process in which the big hit flag = 1. On the other hand, when the accumulative accumulated value M reaches 5 during the symbol generation process started with the big hit flag = 1, the allowable flag = 1 and the allowable number of times value R = 3 are set by the operation determination process of FIG. Then, an allowable operation period is set before and after all the remaining operation timings generated in the symbol generation process. Here, when all the operation timings that occur in the symbol generation process have expired (timing number value N = 0), even if the allowable number of times value R> 0, the allowable preparation flag = 0 and the allowable flag = 0 To do. As a result, when the acquired cumulative value M reaches 5 during the symbol generation process with the big hit flag = 1, the number of executions of the allowable operation period is less than three. In the configuration of the third embodiment, the permissible start condition according to the present invention is set as a condition that is satisfied when a hit determination is made by digesting start memory and the number of stored time difference data (acquired accumulated value M) exceeds the threshold number. Then, the allowable expiration condition according to the present invention is set as a condition that is satisfied when all the allowable operation periods set in the symbol generation process expire.

  In this way, in the symbol generation process in which the big hit flag = 1, since the allowable operation period is set before and after the operation timing, the timing when the player presses the operation button 72 occurs within the allowable operation period. It is easy to display the operation effect images H1 to H3. Then, in the symbol generation process, since the big hit flag = 1 is confirmed, the player can make the player feel as if the player has confirmed the hit by pressing the operation button. You can clearly feel that you are participating. Accordingly, even a player who is relatively poor at pressing the operation buttons, such as a person who has little gaming experience or an elderly person, is likely to cause great satisfaction with the game of pressing the operation button 72.

In the configuration of the third embodiment, when the hit determination is made by digesting the start-up memory and the number of stored time difference data (acquired accumulated value M) exceeds the threshold number, the symbol generation process in which the hit determination is performed. Except for the setting of the allowable operation period, the same constituent elements as those in the first embodiment are provided and the same control process is executed.
The time difference acquisition process according to the present invention is realized by the operation determination process of the third embodiment, and the operation permission process and the permission cancellation process according to the present invention are realized by the allowable period process of the present embodiment. Yes.

  On the other hand, in the configurations of the first to third embodiments described above, the allowable operation period is set using the minimum value and the maximum value of the time difference data by the operation allowable process. Another method may be applied to the method of setting the allowable operation period based on the method. For example, the allowable operation period may be set based on the statistical distribution of the stored time difference data, or the allowable operation period may be set based on the average value of the stored time difference data. good.

  Further, in the configuration of the third embodiment, the allowable operation periods set before and after each operation timing are all set to the same period length. Alternatively, an allowable operation period that is shortened may be set.

  Moreover, in the structure of Examples 1-3 mentioned above, although it is the structure which generated the operation timing to the upper limit 3 times by one symbol production | generation process, the upper limit of the frequency | count of generation | occurrence | production can be set suitably. . Similarly, the number of times that the allowable operation period is set is not limited to the three times in the first to third embodiments, and can be set as appropriate. Further, the threshold number constituting the condition for setting the allowable operation period is not limited to the five in the first to third embodiments, and can be set as appropriate. In the configurations of the first to third embodiments described above, the data acquisition period is set to 2 seconds before and after the operation timing. However, the data acquisition period is not limited to this and can be set as appropriate.

  Moreover, in the structure of Examples 1-3 mentioned above, the timing alerting | reporting moving image displayed three times according to the operation timing of 3 times is demonstrated as the same moving image content ("arrow" and "target" moving image). However, different video content may be selected. For example, a configuration may be adopted in which a plurality of different types of moving image contents are set and either one is selectively determined.

  In this invention, it is not limited to the Example mentioned above, About another structure, it can change suitably within the range of the meaning of this invention.
