Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine having storage means for storing a result of the determination of success / failure, and displaying the number of the results of determination of success / failure displayed on the display means.

  In the gaming machine described in Patent Literature 1 below, among the results of the determination as to whether the game ball is won or not, the one that has not been notified yet is put on hold. This hold display image changes depending on the operation of the operating means by the player, etc., and a notification is given that there is a possibility that the determination result corresponding to the hold display will be a big hit.

JP 2005-261524 A

  The configuration of the above-mentioned Patent Document 1 is only informed of the possibility that the hold display is changed to become a big hit, and is poor in preference.

  An object of the present invention is to improve the preference of performance using the identification symbol in a gaming machine in which the number of determination results is displayed on the display means as the identification symbol.

  A gaming machine according to the invention of claim 1 made to solve the above-described problem is a determination unit for determining whether or not a game medium is won in a certain winning area, and a determination result of the determination by the determination unit. A storage unit capable of storing a predetermined number, a display unit for displaying a determination result indicating the number of the determination results stored in the storage unit, and a determination result that satisfies a certain condition. When the effect symbol is displayed on the display means, and at least one of the effect symbol and the identification symbol moves toward the other and the integration of the two is established, the success / failure corresponding to the identification symbol is determined. A notice effect set so as to increase the possibility that the result of the determination by the determination means is a win is mounted.

  The invention according to claim 2 is the gaming machine according to claim 1, wherein the effect design includes a part imitating the identification symbol, and the effect design and the identification symbol are integrated. When the shape imitating the identification symbol of the effect symbol and the identification symbol are synthesized, the setting is made such that the possibility of the success / failure determination by the success / failure determination unit corresponding to the identification symbol being further increased It is characterized by being.

  The invention according to claim 3 is the gaming machine according to claim 2, wherein when the shape imitating the identification symbol of the image design effect and the identification symbol are synthesized, the synthesized symbol is: It is configured to move differently from the identification symbol before being synthesized.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the gaming machine according to any one of the first to third aspects, the second effect image is integrated with the identification symbol having a plurality of the effect symbols. In some cases, when a plurality of the effect symbols are integrated with one identification symbol, the possibility that the effect symbol is a big hit is higher than when one effect symbol is integrated with one identification symbol. It is characterized by being set to.

  According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in the gaming machine according to any one of the first to fourth aspects of the present invention, the identification symbol has an effect of notifying the result of the determination as to whether or not the result is determined by the display means. And the pending identification design corresponding to the result of the determination of the winning / injection of the game medium in the winning area after the determination of the success / failure corresponding to the variation identifying design. Whether or not the effect symbol is integrated with the identification symbol corresponding to a certain determination result is determined not only when the identification symbol corresponding to the determination result is the holding identification symbol, It is also determined when the identification symbol corresponding to the determination result is changed from the hold identification symbol to the variation identification symbol.

  The invention according to claim 6 is the gaming machine according to claim 5, wherein the identification symbol is integrated with the effect symbol when the identification symbol is the reserved identification symbol, and the identification symbol is derived from the reserved identification symbol. It is characterized in that the possibility that the determination result corresponding to the identification symbol is a big hit differs from the case where the variation symbol is integrated with the effect symbol.

  In the gaming machine according to the first aspect of the present invention, instead of simply notifying the possibility of a big hit depending on whether or not the identification symbol changes, an effect symbol which is a symbol different from the identification symbol is displayed. Since the notification is made according to whether or not both symbols are integrated, it is possible to improve the production effect as compared with the conventional art.

  As in the second aspect of the invention, if the player is informed of the possibility of a jackpot depending on whether or not the identification symbol in the effect symbol and the shape imitating the identification symbol are combined, the player After the symbols are integrated, it is possible to further improve the effect of the production because the direction of the production is watched over while wishing that the “synthesis” occurs.

  According to the third aspect of the present invention, it is possible to further improve the production effect of the production in which the shape imitating the identification symbol of the production symbol and the identification symbol are synthesized. In addition, it is possible to create an effect that can easily determine whether or not the composition that affects the possibility of jackpot has been established.

  According to the invention described in claim 4, since not only one but also a plurality of effect symbols may be integrated with the identification symbol, the effect of the effect can be further enhanced.

  As in the invention described in claim 5, if the effect is that the effect symbol may be integrated with the variation identification symbol, the player will be able to obtain the effect symbol even after the hold identification symbol becomes the variation identification symbol. Since it can be expected to change the aspect due to the integration, it is possible to achieve an effect that can be expected to improve the possibility of a big hit by integrating with the effect design until the end.

  According to the sixth aspect of the present invention, the possibility that a big hit will change depending on at which stage the identification symbol is integrated with the effect member, so that it is possible to keep the game from keeping an eye on the display device. Is possible.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of a gaming machine 1 according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. First, the overall configuration of the gaming machine 1 will be briefly described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 1, a game that is not related to the present invention, such as a frame of the gaming machine 1, a launching device that launches a game ball (corresponding to the game medium in the present invention), a lower plate or an upper plate that stores the game ball The components of the machine 1 are omitted. About these, the thing of the structure similar to a well-known game machine is applicable.

  The gaming machine 1 includes a game board 90. The game board 90 is formed of a substantially square plywood, and a strip-shaped guide rail 903 made of a thin metal plate for guiding a game ball fired by the operation of the launcher to the game area 902 has a substantially arc shape. Is provided.

  The game area 902 is provided with a display device 91 (corresponding to display means in the present invention), a first start winning port 904, a second starting winning port 905, a big winning port 906, an out port 907, and the like. The display device 91 is used for a notification effect and a selection effect described later. The display screen of the display device 91 is visible through an opening 901 formed in the game board 90.

  In addition, the game area 902 is provided with a plurality of game nails as obstacles that change the flow-down mode of the game balls when the flow-down game balls collide. The game ball flowing down the game area 902 changes into various modes depending on the condition when it collides with the game nail.

  In such a gaming machine 1, a game ball is launched toward the game area 902 by operating the launching device. When a game ball flowing down the game area 902 wins a winning port such as the start winning ports 904 and 905 or the big winning port 906, a predetermined number of award balls are paid out by the payout device.

  The jackpot lottery is executed by a winning determination means provided on a control board (not shown) triggered by winning a game ball in the start winning opening 904 or 905 (corresponding to a winning area in the present invention). The determination result is stored in a storage unit provided on a control board (not shown). Other configurations and the like can be the same as those of a known gaming machine, and thus description thereof is omitted.

  The gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment has a notice effect (first notice effect and second notice effect) for notifying the possibility of a big hit based on whether or not the determination result by the success / failure determination means is a big hit. It is installed. This notice effect utilizes the fact that the number of determination results stored in the storage means is displayed on the display device 91 as the number of identification symbols.

  The first notice effect will be described. The storage means in the present embodiment can store one of which the determination result is notified at the time point and a maximum of four determination results (so-called hold is a maximum of four) performed thereafter. Therefore, the game ball won the first start winning opening 904 or the second starting winning opening 905 in a state where four determination results are stored, except for one in which the determination result is notified at that time. However, the determination as to whether or not the event is correct is not performed. The success / failure determination result stored (stored) other than the one for which the determination result is notified at that time is displayed on the display device 91 as the hold identification symbol 10 (so-called hold icon). On the other hand, information on which the determination result is notified at that time may be displayed on the display device 91 as the variation identification symbol 20 (details will be described later).

  The number of the determination results stored in the storage means is the hold identification symbol displayed on the display device 91, except for the case where the determination result is notified (the determination result corresponding to the variation identification symbol 20). It matches the number of 10. For example, when four determination results are stored in the storage unit, four hold identification symbols 10 are displayed on the display device 91 as shown in FIG. In the present embodiment, the hold identification symbols 10 are displayed so as to be arranged along the lower edge of the display device 91. The reserved identification symbol 10 of the present embodiment has a form in which a circle and a triangle located inside the circle are combined (hereinafter, the form may be simply referred to as “emblem”).

  Regardless of whether it is a big hit or missed, when it is determined to execute the first notice effect when notifying the result of the determination of the validity, the validity is displayed on the display device 91. An effect symbol 30 that moves toward the hold identification symbol 10 corresponding to the determination result is displayed (see FIG. 3). The effect symbol 30 of the present embodiment is a symbol depicting a “sword”. A shape (emblem 321) in which a circle and a triangle located inside the circle are combined is drawn on the portion of the sword 32 of the “sword”. That is, the effect design 30 includes in part a shape (same or similar (including similar shapes)) imitating the reserved identification design 10 described above.

There are roughly three types of the first notice effect in the present embodiment.
1) “Sword”, which is a production symbol 30 moving toward a certain holding identification symbol 10, is displayed, and the “sword” does not pierce the holding identification symbol 10, and “sword” and the holding identification symbol 10 are integrated. Aspect that does not hold (including a mode in which the “sword” once stabbed is removed as shown in FIG. 6)
2) “Sword”, which is a production symbol 30 moving toward a certain holding identification symbol 10, is displayed, the “sword” pierces the holding identification symbol 10, and the “sword” and the holding identification symbol 10 are integrated. (See Fig. 4)
3) “Sword”, which is a production symbol 30 moving toward a certain holding identification symbol 10, is displayed, the “sword” pierces the holding identification symbol 10, and the “sword” and the holding identification symbol 10 are integrated. Thus, the amount of piercing gradually increases, and the emblem 321 on the sword 32 of the “sword” is combined with the holding identification symbol 10 which is the emblem itself (see FIG. 5).
It is three.

  The possibility that the success / failure determination result corresponding to the hold identification symbol 10 is a big hit is the highest in the mode 3), the second is the second mode, and the lowest is the first mode. In the present invention, “integration” is a superordinate concept of “synthesis”, and “synthesis” is not established without “integration” being established. In other words, when “synthesis” is established, “integration” is also established.

  The aspect of 1) may not be installed as an effect. However, if the aspect of 1) is not mounted, the “sword” is stabbed into any of the reserved identification symbols 10 when the effect symbol 30 “sword” is displayed on the display device 91 (at least integrally). Therefore, the interest in whether or not the “sword” pierces the hold identification symbol 10 is diminished. That is, in order to enhance the production effect, it is preferable that the setting of 1) is generated. In addition, after the effect of 1) occurs, that is, the effect that “sword” does not pierce the holding identification symbol 10, the “sword” moves again toward the holding identification symbol 10, and 2) The aspect and the aspect of 3) may occur. In addition, the possibility that the success / failure determination result corresponding to the hold identification symbol 10 in which the aspect of 1) has occurred is set to the same level as the success / failure determination result corresponding to the hold identification symbol 10 in which the notice effect is not generated. It only has to be done.

  The mode 2) is a mode in which the holding identification symbol 10 is pierced halfway through the blade 31 of the “sword” as the production symbol 30 and the two symbols are integrated. When it is set so that the mode of 1) above can occur, when the “sword” reaches the hold identification symbol 10, it is determined whether the “sword” is inserted into the hold identification symbol 10 or not. An interval may be provided for the person to watch.

  In the aspect of 3), after the aspect of 2) occurs, it is notified whether the possibility of jackpot is further increased. When the amount of sword of the “sword” as the production symbol 30 gradually increases and finally reaches the portion of the heel 32, the emblem 321 in the heel 32 is synthesized with the hold identification symbol 10 which is the emblem itself. The When both the emblems are combined, it becomes a state in which only the “sword” as the production symbol 30 exists. In this embodiment, immediately after the two emblems are combined, the combined emblem is rotated. That is, the synthesized emblem is configured to move differently from the emblem before being synthesized (holding identification symbol 10). By doing so, the player recognizes that both emblems have been synthesized. In other words, it is possible to prevent the hold identification symbol 10 displayed on the display device 91 from being perceived as if it was an effect that simply replaced the “sword” as the effect symbol 30. The “different movement” is not limited to rotation. A change in size or a change in form is also included in the “different movement”.

  The control flow of the first notice effect will be briefly described with reference to FIG. This notice effect is performed by the sub-control board. The sub-control board that controls various effects determines whether or not a command from the main control board on which the success / failure determining means is mounted is received at a certain time interval (for example, 10 ms). Execute main command analysis processing to analyze and process commands. As part of the main command analysis process, control of the first notice effect is performed.

  The sub control board determines whether or not a command is received from the main control board (S1). If the command is received, the sub control board determines whether or not the command is a pending ball number command (S2). If it is not the reserved ball number command, it is determined whether or not it is a start opening winning command (S3). The start opening prize command is a command received together with the result of the determination of whether or not the game ball has won the first start winning opening 904 or the second start winning opening 905. When this command is received (S3 “Yes”), a hold prefetch scenario lottery process is performed (S4), and it is determined whether or not to execute the first notice effect. That is, the hold prefetch scenario lottery process is a process of determining whether or not a condition for executing the first notice effect is satisfied.

  Specifically, in the hold prefetch scenario lottery process, if the determination result is a jackpot, the first notice effect is executed based on the jackpot notice effect table corresponding to the jackpot. In that case, the mode is determined. When the determination result is out of order, whether or not to execute the first notice effect based on the outage notice effect table corresponding to the outage is determined, and when the first notice effect is executed, the mode is determined. The configuration of both tables can be set as appropriate. However, as described above, when the determination result is a big hit, the modes 2) and 3) are more easily selected. Is configured to do.

  After the pre-reading scenario lottery process is completed, the other pre-read lottery process (for the notification effect of the certain determination result, the pre-reading effect lottery using the notification effect of the previous determination result. For example, the display device 91 gradually. The background color displayed on the screen is changed) (S5). After the pre-reading scenario lottery process is completed, or when it is determined in S3 that the start opening prize command has not been received (S3 “No”), commands other than the reserved ball number command and the start opening prize command are mainly used. When receiving from the control board, the process corresponding to the command is executed (S9), and the main command analysis process ends.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in S2 that the pending ball number command has been received (S3 “Yes”), the number of held balls displayed on the display device 91 at that time (that is, the number of reserved identification symbols 10). It is determined whether or not the number of held balls commands is larger than (). The reserved ball number command is a command related to the number of held balls at that time (the number of determination results that have not been notified yet). Therefore, when there are more reserved ball number commands than the number of held balls (that is, the number of held identification symbols 10) displayed on the display device 91 at that time (S6 “Yes”), a new winning game ball has been won. Is displayed on the display device 91. That is, when a game ball is newly won, it is determined in the pending pre-read scenario lottery process in S4 that an effect according to any one of the above aspects is generated with respect to the identification display corresponding to the determination result. Is reflected in the display device 91 (S7). That is, the effect symbol 30 (“sword”) is displayed, and the effect of any one of the above-described aspects 1) to 3) is executed. Note that the first notice effect is not necessarily performed immediately after the hold identification symbol 10 corresponding to a certain determination result is displayed. For example, when the hold identification symbol 10 corresponding to a certain determination result is displayed as the fourth hold symbol, the first notice effect is not executed on the hold identification symbol 10 suddenly, but the symbol is changed to three. The first notice effect may be executed for the symbol when the first to first reserved identification symbol 10 is entered. In the hold prefetch scenario lottery process of S4, not only the mode of the first notice effect but also the timing at which the first notice effect is executed is drawn in this way, so the hold prefetch scenario reflection process selects according to the timing. A signal is sent to the display device 91 so that the effect of the performed mode is executed.

  If it is determined in S6 that the number of held balls commands is not larger than the number of held balls (that is, the number of held identification symbols 10) displayed on the display device 91 at that time (S6 “No”), the number of held balls is held. A pre-read scenario progress process is performed (S8). This process is a process of shifting (decreasing) the hold identification symbol 10 to the left in accordance with the fact that the hold is reduced one by one as the result of the determination of success / failure is notified. In addition, when performing the said process, when the production | presentation of the aspect of said 2) or 3) is performed with respect to either hold identification symbol 10 (when "sword" and the hold identification symbol 10 are integrated) Or the “sword” emblem 321 and the holding identification symbol 10 are combined), the holding identification symbol 10 is shifted to the left while the state is maintained.

  When a command other than the held ball number command or the start opening prize command is received from the main control board through the hold prefetch scenario reflection process or the hold prefetch scenario progress process, the process corresponding to the command is executed. (S9) The main command analysis process ends.

  The first notice effect is executed in such a flow. The flow of the main command analysis process is merely an example and can be changed as appropriate.

  When the above 2) and 3) modes are executed in this notice effect, not only one effect symbol 30 (that is, one “sword”) but also a plurality of effect symbols 30 and a hold identification symbol 10 are included. The emblems 321 of the plurality of effect symbols 30 may be combined with the hold identification symbol 10 that is the emblem itself (see FIG. 8. Note that FIG. 8 shows each emblem of the effect symbols 30. 321 and the reserved identification symbol 10 are combined). The possibility of winning a jackpot when a plurality of effect symbols 30 and the holding identification symbol 10 are integrated is higher than the possibility of winning a jackpot when the one effect symbol 30 and the holding identification symbol 10 are integrated. Is set as follows. Further, the possibility of a big hit when the emblem 321 and the reserved identification symbol 10 of a plurality of effect symbols 30 are combined becomes a big hit when the emblem 321 of one effect symbol 30 and the reserved identification symbol 10 are combined. It is set to be higher than the possibility.

  The first notice effect may be given to the variation identification symbol 20. That is, it may be determined whether or not the first notice effect is executed when one hold identification symbol 10 changes to the variation identification symbol 20. Specifically, it is as follows. Among the hold identification symbols 10 displayed on the display device 91, the earliest determination made is changed to the variation identification symbol 20 after the determination result of the determination made immediately before is notified. In the present embodiment, the hold identification symbols 10 displayed on the display device 91 are arranged from the left side in order from the one with the quicker determination. Therefore, among the holding identification symbols 10, the one that has been determined to be the earliest is located on the leftmost side. The hold identification symbol 10 located on the leftmost side changes to a variation identification symbol 20. As shown in FIG. 9, in this embodiment, an image simulating the writer 40 is displayed on the left side of the hold identification symbol 10 located on the leftmost side, and the hold identification symbol 10 located on the leftmost side is displayed on the writer 40. Move to the top of 40. It is assumed that the hold identification symbol 10 is changed to the variation identification symbol 20 by the movement. That is, in the present embodiment, the shape of the symbol itself does not change immediately after the reserved identification symbol 10 changes to the variation identification symbol 20.

  When it is decided to execute the first notice effect in informing the determination result corresponding to the variation identification symbol 20 located on the upper side of the writer 40, the movement toward the variation identification symbol 20 is performed. The “sword” that is the effect symbol 30 to be displayed is displayed. When this “sword” is in any of the above-described aspects 1) to 3), the possibility that the determination result corresponding to the variation identification symbol 20 is a big hit is notified. That is, they are integrated as shown in FIG. 9, or an emblem is synthesized as shown in FIG. In addition, in the preliminary announcement effect for the variation identification symbol 20, the form and movement of the effect symbol 30 may be varied. In addition, a plurality of effect symbols 30 (a plurality of “swords”) may be integrated with the variation identification symbol 20, or the emblem 321 of the plurality of effect symbols 30 and the variation identification symbol 20 that is the emblem itself may be synthesized. Also good.

  In the present embodiment, a determination result of winning or failing by winning a certain game ball is made, and when the first notice effect is executed for the determination result, the identification symbol corresponding to the determination result is the pending identification symbol 10. Sometimes, when the first notice effect is executed and when the first notice effect is executed when the variation identification symbol 20 is used, the possibility that the determination result corresponding to the identification symbol is a big hit is different. Is set to That is, when the hold identification symbol 10 and the production symbol 30 are integrated when the hold identification symbol 10 is used, the change identification symbol 20 and the production symbol 30 are integrated when the change identification symbol 20 is obtained. The probability of being a big hit is higher or lower than that in the case of occurrence. When it is desired to have a game that expects the occurrence of the first notice effect until the end, the case where the variation identification symbol 20 and the effect symbol 30 are integrated is higher than that of the hold identification symbol 10. Good.

  The variation identifying symbol 20 is eventually burned by the flame of the lighter 40 and disappears or changes to another symbol.

  Next, the second notice effect will be described. The second notice effect is performed not on the identification symbol but on the movable body 50. Specifically, it is performed by a combination of the movable body 50 and the effect symbol 30.

  The movable body 50 is a so-called accessory that can move between the standby position and the effect position. In the present embodiment, the movable body 50 is between a standby position where most of the movable body 50 is covered with the left side of the game board 90 and an effect position (see FIG. 11) overlapping the display device 91 in the front-rear direction. Is movable. The movable body 50 imitates the form of the emblem. The movable body 50 simulating the emblem is located either at a position that is covered by the game board 90 and is difficult for the player to visually recognize, or a position that overlaps the display device 91 and is visually recognized by the player. Moreover, the movable body 50 can be rotated with the state located in the production position. In addition, what is the drive mechanism of the movable body 50 as long as it can be freely moved between the standby position and the effect position and can be rotated while being located at the effect position? Also good.

  The second notice effect is performed as an effect to notify the possibility determination result corresponding to the variation identification symbol 20 that the determination result is a big hit. When the sub-control board determines to execute the second notice effect, the movable body 50 located at the standby position is moved to the effect position, and the effect symbol is moved toward the movable body 50 located at the effect position. 30 is displayed (see FIG. 12). The aspect of the effect design 30 is the same as that described in the first notice effect. In other words, it is a “sword” in which an emblem 321 is drawn on the portion of the spear 32.

Similar to the first notice effect, the second notice effect is roughly divided into three modes. The basic configuration of each aspect is the same. That is,
1) A mode in which the “sword” that is the effect symbol 30 moving toward the movable body 50 is displayed, the “sword” does not pierce the movable body 50, and the “sword” and the movable body 50 are not integrated. 2) “Sword”, which is the production symbol 30 moving toward the movable body 50, is displayed, the “sword” is pierced into the movable body 50, and the “sword” and the movable body 50 are integrated (see FIG. 13)
3) “Sword” which is the production symbol 30 moving toward the movable body 50 is displayed, the “sword” is stabbed into the movable body 50, and the “sword” and the movable body 50 are integrated and then stabbed. The amount is gradually increased, and the emblem 321 in the sword 32 of the “sword” is combined with the movable body 50 having the shape of the emblem itself (see FIG. 14).
It is three.

  The possibility that the success / failure determination result corresponding to the hold identification symbol 10 is a big hit is the highest in the mode 3), the second is the second mode, and the lowest is the first mode. Note that the “integration” and “synthesis” refer to the appearance. In other words, the movable body 50 that is a tangible object and the production symbol 30 that is an intangible object (image) displayed on the display device 91 are combined to give an impression as if they were “integrated” or “synthesized”. I mean.

  The aspect of 1) may not be installed as an effect. However, if the aspect 1) is not installed, the “sword” is pierced (at least integrated) into the movable body 50 when the effect symbol 30 “sword” is displayed on the display device 91. Therefore, the interest in whether or not the “sword” sticks into the movable body 50 is diminished. That is, in order to enhance the production effect, it is preferable that the setting of 1) is generated. This is the same as the first notice effect.

  The mode 2) is a mode in which the movable body 50 is stabbed halfway along the blade 31 of the “sword” that is the production symbol 30 and looks as if the movable body 50 and the production symbol 30 are integrated.

  In the aspect of 3), after the aspect of 2) occurs, it is notified whether the possibility of jackpot is further increased. When the amount of stab on the “sword” that is the production symbol 30 is gradually increased and finally reaches the portion of the heel 32, the emblem 321 in the heel 32 is a movable body 50 that imitates the emblem itself. As if it were synthesized. In the present embodiment, the movable body 50 is rotated after such a synthesized form is constructed. In other words, the emblem (movable body 50) after the form as if it was synthesized is configured to move differently from the emblem (movable body 50) before the form as if it was synthesized. Has been. Thus, the player recognizes that the movable body 50 imitating the emblem itself is synthesized with the emblem 321 in the sword's heel 32 portion. As described above, in the present embodiment, by rotating the movable body 50, it is possible to reduce a sense of incongruity and improve the production effect when a form in which the movable body 50 that is a tangible object and an image that is an intangible object are combined is constructed. I am trying.

  Also in the second notice effect, when the above 2) and 3) modes are executed, not only one effect symbol 30 (that is, one “sword”) but also a plurality of effect symbols 30 and a movable body. 50 may be constructed, or a form may be constructed as if each emblem 321 of the plurality of effect symbols 30 and the movable body 50 imitating the emblem itself are combined. The possibility of a big hit when a form as if a plurality of effect symbols 30 and the movable body 50 are integrated is constructed as if a single effect symbol 30 and the movable object 50 are integrated. In such a case, it is set to be higher than the possibility of being a big hit. In addition, the possibility of a big hit when a form as if the emblem 321 and the movable body 50 of a plurality of effect symbols 30 are combined is whether the emblem 321 and the movable object 50 of one effect symbol 30 are combined. When such a form is constructed, it is set to be higher than the possibility of being a big hit.

  In addition, when the first notice effect is also installed in a gaming machine equipped with such a second notice effect, the game's preference is further increased. That is, when the “sword” as the effect symbol 30 is displayed on the display device 91, whether the “sword” is stuck in the movable body 50 (whether the second notice effect is executed) or the identification symbol (the reserved identification symbol 10). Or the change identification symbol 20) (whether the first notice effect is executed) or not immediately after the display, the player will be gazing at the whereabouts of the “sword”. In this case, if the movable body 50 is moved from the standby position to the effect position and “sword” is displayed on the display device 91, the “sword” may be moved toward the identification symbol. Good. In addition, if you set a difference between the possibility of a jackpot when the first notice effect occurs and the possibility of a jackpot when the second notice effect occurs, the sword Since it is hoped to go, it will be more interesting.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.

  For example, the form of the effect design 30 and the identification design can be changed as appropriate. Both symbols only need to include a common symbol corresponding to the emblem.

  In the first notice effect, the “sword” which is the effect symbol 30 displayed on the display device 91 moves toward the hold identification symbol 10 and the variation identification symbol 20, and both integration and emblem synthesis are performed. Although it has been described that the possibility of winning a jackpot is notified depending on whether or not it is established, after the production symbol 30 is displayed on the display device 91, the hold identification symbol 10 and the variation identification symbol 20 are displayed in the production symbol. It may move toward 30, and the possibility of a big hit may be notified depending on whether or not the integration of both and the synthesis of the emblem are established. Further, the effect symbol 30 and the identification symbol may move in a direction approaching each other, and the possibility of a big hit may be notified depending on whether or not the integration of both and the combination of the emblems are established.
