Description

  The present invention relates to a technique of a pachinko gaming machine.

  Conventionally, a determination unit that determines whether or not a special game advantageous to a player is generated, a display unit that notifies a determination result of the determination unit, and an effect control unit that performs an effect for notifying the determination result are provided. The technology of the pachinko gaming machine is well known. For example, as described in Patent Document 1.

  The pachinko gaming machine described in Patent Literature 1 includes a display unit (liquid crystal screen) that notifies the determination result of the determination unit. In addition, the pachinko gaming machine includes an EL screen that can move on the front side of the display unit, and an effect control unit (effect control unit) that displays a predetermined effect image on the display unit and the EL screen.

  In this way, in the pachinko gaming machine, the display unit displays a plurality of cards with the face down, and the EL screen is moved so as to pass the front side of each card. Then, the EL screen is stopped by being superimposed on one of the plurality of cards, and the pattern on the surface of the card is displayed on the EL screen. Then, the EL screen is stopped by superimposing on another card, and the pattern on the surface of the card is displayed on the EL screen. In such a configuration, a game effect of picture matching is performed by controlling whether the surfaces of the two cards are displayed with the same pattern or different patterns.

  The game effect of the pachinko gaming machine has a higher expectation of jackpot than the case where the surface of the two cards is displayed with the same pattern as compared with the case where the two cards are displayed with different patterns. Only two types of endings are set for whether or not the card surface is displayed with the same pattern. For this reason, when a video with different patterns on the surface of the two cards is displayed, the player loses his expectation and is not very interesting.

It is done.

  The decorative symbol display device 33 shown in FIG. 3 is a device that displays the result of the decorative symbol game and notifies the player. In the decorative symbol display device 33, the game board 4 is arranged at the center of the game board 4 and behind the game board 22 in the front-rear direction position. The decorative symbol display device 33 is provided with a liquid crystal display unit 45 on which the decorative symbols are variably displayed. The liquid crystal display unit 45 is disposed so as to cover the hole 34 formed in the game board 22 from behind. Thus, the liquid crystal display unit 45 is configured to be visible to the player from the front through the hole 34 formed in the game board 22.

  The liquid crystal display unit 45 shown in FIG. 3 is configured to display an image. On the liquid crystal display unit 45, the decorative symbols are displayed in three rows in the left-right direction. The three rows of decorative symbols are variably displayed so as to circulate independently. In the following, among the three columns, the left side is referred to as “first column”, the center is referred to as “second column”, and the right side is referred to as “third column”. The variation of the three rows of decorative symbols displayed in a variable manner is stopped in the order of the first column, the third column, and the second column. In the present embodiment, a game in which three rows of decorative symbols are changed in order to win is called a decorative symbol game.

  The liquid crystal display unit 45 is an embodiment of the “display unit” according to the present invention. The “display unit” according to the present invention is not limited to the configuration of the liquid crystal display unit 45. For example, the “display unit” according to the present invention may have a configuration in which decorative symbols are displayed in four or more rows in the left-right direction. Further, the “display unit” according to the present invention may be configured such that the decorative symbols are displayed in a plurality of rows in the vertical direction or in the oblique direction. The “display unit” according to the present invention may have a configuration in which decorative symbols are displayed in a suitable combination in the left-right direction, the up-down direction, and the diagonal direction.

  All the three rows of decorative symbol display are stopped after a predetermined time. Then, the result of the decorative symbol game is notified to the player by the combination of the three decorative symbols that are stopped and displayed. Then, when the result of the decorative symbol game is a win, after the result is notified to the player, the big hit game is started.

  Further, during the variable display of the three rows of decorative symbols, various effects including a picture matching effect described later are displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 45. Thereby, the player can be reminded of the transition to the big hit gaming state, and the interest of the player can be enhanced. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that various effects displayed during the variable display of the three rows of decorative symbols are included in the effects of the decorative symbol game.

  Further, the result of the decorative symbol game is determined based on the winning of the game ball at the start port 24. More specifically, the result of the decorative symbol game is determined based on the result of the jackpot determination of the special symbol game performed based on the winning of the game ball to the start port 24. In other words, when the result of the jackpot determination for the special symbol game is a jackpot, the result of the decorative symbol game is a win. In addition, when the result of the jackpot determination of the special symbol game is a loss, the result of the decorative symbol game is a loss. As described above, the result of the decorative symbol game is set so as to be linked with the result of the jackpot determination of the special symbol game.

  A detailed description of the decorative design will be described later.

  In addition, the liquid crystal display unit 45 of the decorative symbol display device 33 is provided with a number-of-holds display unit 46 that informs the player of the number of changes in the number of special symbols in the special symbol game. The reserved number display unit 46 is disposed below the liquid crystal display unit 45. The number of changes in the number of special symbols in the special symbol game displayed on the number-of-holds display 46 is subtracted in accordance with the winning of a game ball at the start port 24 or in accordance with the special symbol variation display (big hit determination). . In addition, the upper limit of the number of variable suspensions of special symbols for special symbol games is set to a total of four.

  Hereinafter, the jackpot game will be described in detail.

  The jackpot game means that the internal gaming state is changed from the normal gaming state to the jackpot gaming state when the result of the jackpot determination of the special symbol game performed based on the winning of the game ball to the starting port 24 is a jackpot. It is a game in a state that has been transferred.

  In the big hit game, the opening / closing operation of the big winning opening door 38 of the big winning device 26 is continuously performed, and the open / closed state of the big winning device 26 is continuously switched (continuous operation). Thereby, the player can acquire more prize balls than the game in the normal gaming state.

  Note that, in the big hit game, the open state of the big winning device 26 per time is that a predetermined time (in this embodiment, 30 seconds) has elapsed or a predetermined number (in this embodiment, 10) of game balls are in the big win game. When the prize winning device 37 of the prize winning device 26 is won, the process is terminated and switched to the closed state. Then, after switching to the closed state, the special winning device 26 is switched to the opened state again after a predetermined time (3 seconds in the present embodiment) has elapsed.

  In this way, in the big hit game, the continuous operation of the big winning device 26 is performed a predetermined number of times (in this embodiment, 16 times in total). Hereinafter, the continuous operation of the big winning device 26 in the big hit game is referred to as “round game”. Of the continuous operation of the big winning device 26 in the big hit game, the operation per time is referred to as “round”. That is, a total of 16 rounds are played.

  The jackpot gaming state is shifted from the normal gaming state by operating the condition device when the result of the jackpot determination of the special symbol game is a jackpot. The condition device is a device that is a condition for operating the accessory continuous operation device. In addition, the accessory continuous operation device is a device for continuously operating the prize winning device 26.

  In addition, in the pachinko gaming machine, a short time gaming state in the special symbol game is provided as an internal gaming state relating to the special symbol game, in addition to the above-mentioned big hit gaming state.

  The short time gaming state in the special symbol game is a gaming state in which the variable time shortening function is activated in the special symbol game and the normal gaming state (the variable time shortening function is not activated) is shifted to. In this way, when the game is in the short-time game state, the special symbol variation time is shortened compared to the game in the normal game state.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine, a short time gaming state in the normal symbol game is provided as an internal gaming state relating to the normal symbol game.

  The time-short gaming state in the normal symbol game is a gaming state in which the variable time shortening function is activated and the normal gaming state (the variable time shortening function is not activated) is shifted in the normal symbol game. In the short-time gaming state, the variation time of the normal symbol is shortened compared to the game in the normal gaming state. In this embodiment, the transition to the short-time gaming state is determined depending on the transition to the short-time gaming state in the special symbol game.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the fluctuation time reduction function is activated in the normal symbol game, the normal symbol probability fluctuation function in the normal symbol game, the normal electric accessory opening extension function in the normal symbol game, and the fluctuation time in the special symbol game. The shortening function is set to operate simultaneously.

  When the normal symbol probability variation function is activated in a normal symbol game, the probability that the result of the normal symbol game hit determination is a hit is the normal (the normal symbol probability variation function is not activated) gaming state. Probability higher than games.

  When the normal electric accessory release extension function is activated in the normal symbol game, the time per one time that the variable winning device 25 is in the open state is the normal game state (the normal electric accessory release extension function is not activated). The game will be extended.

  As described above, when the time-short game state is entered in the normal symbol game, a game state (so-called electric support game state) in which a game ball is likely to win a winning opening 24 is set. In other words, in the normal symbol game, when the time-short game state is entered, the game state is advantageously given to the player.

  In this embodiment, when the fluctuation time reduction function is activated in the normal symbol game, the normal symbol probability fluctuation function in the normal symbol game, the normal electric accessory opening extension function in the normal symbol game, and the fluctuation time reduction in the special symbol game. However, the present invention is not limited to this. That is, various functions that operate at the same time that the variable time reduction function operates in a normal symbol game may be combined as appropriate.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 19, the characters include characters (boys M1, M2, M3, M4, M5, M6, M7, and M8) that image a good person, and characters (bad persons) that image a bad person. E1).

  Of the boys M1 to M8, the boys M1 to M7 are used not only for picture matching effects but also as decorative elements (designs) for decorative symbols (hereinafter referred to as “decorative symbols P”). When used as a decorative element of the decorative design P, the boys M1 to M7 are each given a numerical design as an identification element.

  As described above, the decorative design P is configured by combining any of the boys M1 to M7 and the numerical design. In addition, seven types from “1” to “7” are used as the numerical symbols. In the present embodiment, when the result of the decorative symbol game is a win, the combination of the three symbols of the decorative symbol P (numerical symbol) is a combination of three columns of the same numerical symbol (from “111” to “777”). 7 types).

  The characters (boys M1 to M8, bad guy E1) each belong to a predetermined attribute. In the present embodiment, “attributes” are for classifying characters according to their types, properties, systems, and the like. Thus, the characters (boys M1 to M8, bad guy E1) each have attribute information indicating which attribute they belong to.

  In the present embodiment, as an attribute for classifying a character, an “enemy” attribute (one that is classified as a bad guy property) and a “friend” attribute (one that is classified as a good person property) are provided. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 19, the villain E1 belongs to the enemy attribute. That is, the bad guy E1 has attribute information indicating that it belongs to the enemy attribute. Boys M1 to M8 belong to the teammate attribute. That is, the boys M1 to M8 have attribute information indicating that they belong to the teammate attribute.

  In the present embodiment, a plurality of cards (hereinafter referred to as “card C”) are displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 45 in the picture matching effect.

  As shown in FIG. 20, the card C is an image of a relatively small and square cardboard like a playing card. As shown in FIG. 20A, four types of decorations (tiger pattern, star pattern, heart pattern, and plain (no pattern)) are applied to one side of the card C. Further, as shown in FIG. 20B, on the other side of the card C, a character display unit 101 and an attribute display unit 102 are provided.

  The character display unit 101 is a part where a character is displayed. Any one of boys M1 to M8 and bad guy E1 is appropriately displayed on the character display unit 101. In FIG. 20B, boy M3 and bad guy E1 are displayed as an example.

  The attribute display unit 102 is a part where the attribute information of the character displayed on the character display unit 101 is displayed. In the attribute display unit 102, a character string ("friend" or "enemy" in the present embodiment) indicating the attribute information of the character is displayed. In the present embodiment, the attribute display unit 102 is given two different colors according to the attribute information of the character (that is, depending on whether the character belongs to the teammate attribute or the enemy attribute).

  In the following description, one side surface (the surface on the side having the decoration) of the card C is referred to as “back surface”, and the other side surface (the surface on which the character is displayed) is referred to as “front surface”. As described above, when the card C is turned over, the character can be hidden on the back side (front side).

  Next, character selection in step S403 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  In step S501, the display control CPU 201 selects the first character based on the selection result of the decorative symbol P selected in the decorative symbol game processing of the display control circuit 200 (see step S402).

  Specifically, the first character is selected based on the numerical symbol as the identification element of the decorative symbol P in the first row. That is, when “1” is selected as the number symbol of the decorative symbol P in the first row, the boy M1 is selected as the first character. Similarly, when “2”,..., “7” is selected as the number design of the decorative design P in the first row, boys M2,. Each is selected.

  Thus, when the first character is selected in step S501, the second character is then selected. Here, the selection of the second character is classified into three patterns according to the effect content (that is, the received effect pattern).

  Specifically, the selection of the second character is a complete loss (that is, the effect pattern A), a reach effect is performed, and a pseudo-continuous effect is not performed (that is, the effect pattern). B, C, E, or F), and a reach effect is performed and a pseudo-continuous effect is performed (that is, the effect pattern D or G).

  In the case of complete loss (that is, in the case of the effect pattern A) shown in step S502, the display control CPU 201 selects the bad guy E1 as the second character.

  When the reach effect shown in step S503 is performed and the pseudo-continuous effect is not performed (that is, when the effect pattern is B, C, E, or F), the display control CPU 201 displays the first character in step S501. The second character is selected based on the selection result. Specifically, the same character as the character selected as the first character is selected as the second character. For example, when boy M1 is selected as the first character, boy M1 is selected as the second character.

  When the reach effect is performed and the pseudo-continuous effect is performed (that is, in the case of the effect pattern D or G) shown in step S504, the display control CPU 201 performs the pseudo variation and the book when the pseudo-continuous effect is performed. A second character is selected for each variation. Specifically, a specific character (boy M8 in this embodiment) is selected as the second character of the pseudo variation. Further, the same character as the character selected as the first character is selected as the second character of the main variation.

  Thus, in the selection of the character in step S403, the first character is selected first, and then the second character is selected.

  In the present embodiment, the selection of the character is included in the decorative symbol game process of the display control circuit 200. However, the character selection may be included in the decorative symbol game process of the sub control circuit 90. As described above, when the character selection is included in the decorative symbol game process of the sub-control circuit 90, for example, the sub-control CPU 91 of the sub-control circuit 90 selects the effect content based on the received variation pattern, and the selection A character may be selected based on the result.

  Below, the specific content of the picture matching effect displayed by the process of the decoration symbol game mentioned above is demonstrated.

  FIGS. 25 to 28 schematically show the state (contents of display) of the liquid crystal display unit 45 of the decorative symbol display device 33.

  The picture matching effects include picture matching effects A, picture matching effects B, and picture matching effects C (see FIG. 12). Picture matching effects A, B, and C differ in the contents of the effects as will be described later. In addition, the contents of the effects of the picture matching effects A, B, and C are the same from the start to the middle. Specifically, in the picture matching effects A, B, and C, the contents of effects from step S1010 to step S1040 in the flowchart of FIG. 21 are the same.

In step S1010, first, the variable display of decorative symbols in three rows is started (not shown). Then, when picture matching effects (picture matching effects A, B, and C) are started, as shown in FIG. 25A, one card C (hereinafter, the one card C is referred to as “card C1”). ) Appears in the center of the screen in an upside down state, that is, in a state where the front surface is directed to the back side and the back surface is directed to the front side. When the card C1 is turned upside down, the player cannot visually recognize the front character because the front surface is directed to the back side.
When a predetermined period has elapsed after the card C1 appears, the content of the effect displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 45 proceeds to step S1020.

In step S1020, as shown in FIG. 25B, the card C1 is turned (inverted). That is, the card C1 is displayed at the center of the screen with the front side facing toward the front and the back side facing toward the back. Thus, when the surface of the card C1 is directed to the near side by the operation of the card C1, the player can visually recognize the character on the surface. The character that can be visually recognized in step S1020 corresponds to the “first character”. In FIG. 25B, the first character is a boy M3.
When a predetermined period has elapsed after the first character becomes visible, the content of the effect displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 45 proceeds to step S1030.

  In step S1030, as shown in FIG. 25C, four cards C appear so as to surround the card C1 displayed in the center of the screen. That is, cards C appear upside down, that is, in a state where the front side is directed to the back side and the back side is directed to the front side, at four positions on the upper left side of the screen, the upper right side of the screen, the lower right side of the screen, and the lower left side of the screen. In the following, the cards C appearing at the four positions on the upper left, upper right, lower right and lower left of the screen are referred to as “card C2”, “card C3”, “card C4” and “card C5”, respectively. .

  The patterns on the back surface of the four cards C2, C3, C4, and C5 are different from each other. Specifically, in FIG. 25C, the pattern on the back surface of the card C2 is a tiger pattern. The pattern on the back side of the card C3 is a star pattern. The pattern on the back side of the card C4 is a heart pattern. The pattern on the back surface of the card C5 is plain (no pattern).

  Further, as shown in FIG. 25C, when four cards C2, C3, C4, and C5 appear, a character string “If the same character as the center appears ... Chance!” Appears. In this way, one of the four cards C2, C3, C4, and C5 is turned over, and (in this embodiment) the player is informed that the possibility of a big hit when the boy M3 comes out is relatively high. In addition, the player can feel the expectation of the player.

  When a predetermined period has elapsed after a character string “If the same character as the center appears ... Chance!” Appears, the content of the effect displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 45 proceeds to step S1040. .

  In step S1040, as shown in FIG. 25 (d), a part of the four cards C2, C3, C4, and C5 is turned over to such an extent that the front character cannot be seen by the player. In other words, an effect (turning effect) that displays to the player which card is to be turned among the four cards C2, C3, C4, and C5 is displayed.

  Here, the patterns on the back side of the four cards C2, C3, C4 and C5 can be set so that the expected value for the big hit is different. That is, it can be set so that the expected value for the big hit when the pattern on the back surface is turned in the order of plain (no pattern), heart pattern, star pattern, and tiger pattern. With such a configuration, it is possible to attract the player's interest as to which of the four cards C2, C3, C4, and C5 is turned.

  It should be noted that after a predetermined period of time has passed after each of the four cards C2, C3, C4 and C5 has been turned, the content of the effect displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 45 is changed from step S1040 to the next step (step S2010, S3010, or S4010).

  Here, the picture matching effect is a specific display displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 45 according to the character that is visible when one of the four cards C2, C3, C4, and C5 is turned. The contents of the production are different from each other (the contents of the production are branched). Specifically, the content of the effect is selected from three types according to the character that is visible. In the following description, the three types of modes are referred to as a first mode corresponding to the picture matching effect B, a second mode corresponding to the picture matching effect A, and a third mode corresponding to the picture matching effect C, respectively. .

  In step S1010 to step S1040, the contents of the effects of picture matching effects A, B, and C are the same, so the player has which card out of the four cards C2, C3, C4, and C5. It cannot be recognized in advance (which character appears) (the contents of the effect displayed after the transition from step S1040 cannot be recognized in advance).

  Below, the content of the production | presentation of a 1st aspect is demonstrated in detail using the flowchart of FIG. 22, and FIG.

In step S2010 transferred from step S1040, as shown in FIG. 26 (a), one of the four cards C2, C3, C4, and C5 (card C4 in FIG. 26 (a)) is present. Turned over (inverted). That is, the card C4 is displayed on the lower right side of the screen with the front side facing the front side and the back side facing the back side. Thus, when the surface of the card C4 is directed to the near side by the operation of the card C4, the character on the surface becomes visible to the player. Of the four cards C2, C3, C4, and C5, the character that can be visually recognized by the operation of one card corresponds to the “second character”. In FIG. 26A, the second character is a boy M3.
When a predetermined period has elapsed after the second character becomes visible, the content of the effect displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 45 proceeds to step S2020.
Note that the card C to be turned is not limited to the card C4, but is randomly selected.

  Here, the boy M3 of the second character is the same character as the boy M3 of the first character. Thus, in the first mode, as a result of picture matching, two characters (first character and second character) appearing with two cards (card C1 and card C4) turned up are identical. Become a character. Further, the two characters (first character and second character) belong to the teammate attribute and have the same attribute information.

In step S2020, the display of the card C1, the four cards C2, C3, C4 and C5 is erased, and as shown in FIG. 26B, the first character boy M3 and the second character boy M3 Is enlarged. In this manner, the player can be notified of the character displayed with the card C turned (selected). That is, the player can easily recognize that the result of the picture matching, that is, the boy M3 of the second character and the boy M3 of the first character are the same character and have the same attribute information. .
Note that when a predetermined period elapses after the first character and the second character are enlarged, the content of the effect displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 45 proceeds to step S2030.

  In step S2030, as shown in FIG. 26C, the number symbol of the decoration symbol P in the first column is “3”, and the numeral symbol of the decoration symbol P in the third column is “3”. That is, when the variation of the decorative symbol P in the second row is stopped, if the numerical symbol “3” is stopped and displayed, the result of the decorative symbol game becomes a winning combination. Thus, in step S2030, the reach state is reached, and a predetermined reach effect is performed. Note that after the reach effect is performed, the variation of the decorative pattern P in the second row is stopped.

  Thus, in the first mode corresponding to the picture matching effect B among the three types of modes, the character displayed on the character display unit 101 and the attribute information displayed on the attribute display unit 102 are the result of the picture matching. After the same card C4 as the card C1 is displayed and the reach effect is displayed, the result of the decorative symbol game is notified to the player.

  Below, the content of the production | presentation of a 2nd aspect is demonstrated in detail using the flowchart of FIG. 23, and FIG. 27 among the said 3 types of aspects.

In step S3010 transferred from step S1040, as shown in FIG. 27A, one of the four cards C2, C3, C4, and C5 (card C5 in FIG. 27A) is present. Turned over (inverted). That is, the card C5 is displayed on the lower left of the screen with the front side facing toward the front and the back side facing toward the back. Thus, when the surface of the card C5 is directed to the near side by the operation of the card C5, the character (second character) on the surface becomes visible to the player. In FIG. 27A, the second character is the bad guy E1.
When a predetermined period has elapsed after the second character becomes visible, the content of the effect displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 45 proceeds to step S3020.
Note that the card C to be turned is not limited to the card C5, but is randomly selected.

  Here, the bad character E1 of the second character is a character different from the boy M3 of the first character. The bad character E1 of the second character belongs to the enemy attribute, while the boy M3 of the first character belongs to the friend attribute. Thus, in the second mode, as a result of picture matching, two characters (first character and second character) that appear by turning two cards (card C1 and card C5) are different characters. And have different attribute information.

In step S3020, the display of the card C1, the four cards C2, C3, C4, and C5 is erased, and as shown in FIG. 27B, the first character boy M3 and the second character bad guy E1 Is enlarged. In this manner, the player can be notified of the character displayed with the card C turned (selected). That is, the player can easily recognize that as a result of the picture matching, that is, the bad character E1 of the second character and the boy M3 of the first character are different characters and have different attribute information.
Note that when a predetermined period has elapsed after the first character and the second character are enlarged, the content of the effect displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 45 proceeds to step S3030.

  In step S3030, as shown in FIG. 27C, the number symbol of the decorative symbol P in the first row is “1”, and the numeric symbol of the decorative symbol P in the third column is “3”. That is, when the variation of the decorative symbol P in the second row stops, the result of the decorative symbol game is not a winning combination no matter which numerical symbol is stopped and displayed. Thus, in step S3030, the reach state is not reached (the reach effect is not performed), and the variation of the decorative pattern P in the second row is stopped.

  As described above, in the second mode corresponding to the picture matching effect A among the three types of modes, the character displayed on the character display unit 101 and the attribute information displayed on the attribute display unit 102 are obtained as a result of the picture matching. A card C5 different from the card C1 is displayed, the reach state is not reached (the reach effect is not performed), and the result of the decorative symbol game is notified to the player.

  Below, the content of the production | presentation of a 3rd aspect is demonstrated in detail using the flowchart of FIG. 24, and FIG. 28 among the said 3 types of aspects.

In step S4010 shifted from step S1040, as shown in FIG. 28 (a), one of the four cards C2, C3, C4 and C5 (card C5 in FIG. 28 (a)) is present. Turned over (inverted). That is, the card C5 is displayed on the lower left of the screen with the front side facing toward the front and the back side facing toward the back. Thus, when the surface of the card C5 is directed to the near side by the operation of the card C5, the character (second character) on the surface becomes visible to the player. In FIG. 28A, the second character is a boy M8.
When a predetermined period has elapsed after the second character becomes visible, the content of the effect displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 45 moves to step S4020.
Note that the card C to be turned is not limited to the card C5, but is randomly selected.

  Here, the second character boy M8 is a character different from the first character boy M3. The boy B8 of the second character belongs to the teammate attribute, while the boy M3 of the first character also belongs to the teammate attribute. As described above, in the third mode, two characters (first character and second character) that appear as a result of the picture matching, with two cards (card C1 and card C5) turned, are different characters. And have the same attribute information.

In step S4020, the display of the card C1, the four cards C2, C3, C4 and C5 is erased, and as shown in FIG. 28 (b), the first character boy M3 and the second character boy M8 Is enlarged. In this manner, the player can be notified of the character displayed with the card C turned (selected). That is, the player can easily recognize that as a result of the picture matching, that is, the boy M8 of the second character and the boy M3 of the first character are different characters and have the same attribute information.
If a predetermined period has elapsed after the first character and the second character are enlarged, the content of the effect displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 45 proceeds to step S4030.

In step S4030, as shown in FIG. 28C, the number symbol of the decoration symbol P in the first row is “3”, and the numeral symbol of the decoration symbol P in the third column is “6”. That is, when the variation of the decorative symbol P in the second row stops, the result of the decorative symbol game is not a winning combination no matter which numerical symbol is stopped and displayed. Thus, in step S4030, the reach state is not achieved (the reach effect is not performed), and the variation of the decorative pattern P in the second row is stopped.
In addition, after the fluctuation | variation of the decoration design P of a 2nd row is stopped, if the predetermined period passes, the content of the effect displayed on the liquid crystal display part 45 will transfer to step S4040.

In step S4040, as shown in FIG. 28 (d), the boy M3 is enlarged, and the character string “Still still!” Appears (a line of the boy M3), thereby displaying a pseudo-joint effect. That is, it is possible to inform the player in advance that the three rows of decorative symbols P will change again and start the pseudo-continuous production, and to enhance the player's interest.
If a predetermined period has elapsed after the pseudo continuous effect is displayed, the content of the effect displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 45 proceeds to step S4050.

  The contents of the effects from step S4050 to step S4080 are substantially the same as the contents of the effects from step S1010 to step S1040 described above. Therefore, description of the contents of the effects from step S4050 to step S4080 will be omitted as appropriate. Note that the contents of the effects from step S4050 to step S4080 are included in the pseudo-continuous effects.

  In step S4080, the content of the effect branches after step S4080, as in step S1040. However, in step S4080, unlike step S1040, the content of the effect to branch is selected from two types (first mode and third mode). In this way, in the content of the production once the pseudo-continuous production has been performed, it is possible to prevent the player from being notified of the result of the decorative symbol game without being in the reach state (without the reach production). ing.

  The pseudo-continuous production is repeated up to three times. The number of times that the pseudo-continuous effect is repeated is set in advance when the effect pattern is set.

  Thus, in the third mode corresponding to the picture matching effect C among the three types of modes, the character displayed on the character display unit 101 is different from the card C1 as a result of the picture matching, and the attribute display unit 102 A card C5 having the same attribute information as the card C1 is displayed. Then, after the pseudo-continuous effect is displayed, and further, the reach effect is displayed, the result of the decorative symbol game is notified to the player.

As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine according to one embodiment of the present invention,
Determining means (main control circuit 50) for determining whether or not to generate a special game (big hit game) advantageous to the player in response to the game ball entering the start port 24;

In a pachinko gaming machine comprising production control means (display control circuit 200) for producing an effect for notifying the determination result,
The production control means includes
After displaying a first pattern (the surface of the card C1) having a character display unit 101 for displaying a character and an attribute display unit 102 for displaying the attribute information of the character on the display unit, the character display unit 101 and the character display unit 101 A second pattern (the surface of the card C2 or the like) having the attribute display unit 102 is displayed on the display unit;
A first mode in which the character displayed on the character display unit 101 and the attribute information displayed on the attribute display unit 102 display the second pattern identical to the first pattern; and the character display unit 101 And a second mode in which the attribute information displayed on the attribute display unit 102 displays the second pattern different from the first pattern, and the character displayed on the character display unit 101 includes: A different one from the first picture, and the attribute information displayed on the attribute display unit 102 is selected from any one of a third aspect that displays the second picture that is the same as the first picture. Display
The subsequent effects differ depending on which of the first to third aspects is displayed.

  With such a configuration, in the game effect of whether or not the same character as the first character appears as the second character, the attribute information is the same as well as whether or not the same character is displayed. Since the content of the production varies depending on whether or not the game is produced, it is possible to improve the interest of the game production.

  In the present invention, the contents of the reach effect displayed in the second aspect and the third aspect are not particularly limited. For example, the reach effect displayed in the second and third aspects is not a mere reach effect (relatively plain effect), but a super reach effect (relatively flashy effect) with a high degree of expectation for a big hit. It may be.

  In addition, the card C (more specifically, the surface of the card C) displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 45 in the present embodiment is an embodiment of the “picture” according to the present invention. The “pattern” according to the present invention is not limited to the image of a relatively small and square cardboard such as a playing card as in the present embodiment. That is, the “picture” according to the present invention only needs to have a “character display portion” and an “attribute display portion”.

  In addition, the one card C1 that appears in step S1010 of this embodiment (more specifically, the surface of the card C1) is an embodiment of the “first picture” according to the present invention. The character display unit 101 of the card C1 and the attribute display unit 102 of the card C1 are an embodiment of the “character display unit” and the “attribute display unit” of the first pattern according to the present invention.

In addition, in step S2010 of the present embodiment, one card C4 turned over (more specifically, the surface of the card C4) is an embodiment of the “second picture” according to the present invention. The character display unit 101 of the card C4 and the attribute display unit 102 of the card C4 are an embodiment of the “character display unit” and the “attribute display unit” of the second pattern according to the present invention.
Similarly, one card C5 turned over in step S3010 of the present embodiment (more specifically, the front surface of the card C5) and one card C5 turned over in step S4010 of the present embodiment. (More specifically, the surface of the card C5) is an embodiment of the “second picture” according to the present invention. Moreover, the character display part 101 and the attribute display part 102 of each card | curd are one Embodiment of the "character display part" and the "attribute display part" of the 2nd pattern which concern on this invention.

  In the present embodiment, boys M1 to M8 and bad guy E1 are each an embodiment of a “character” according to the present invention. The “character” according to the present invention broadly means animals, characters such as novels and movies, characters, symbols, and the like. In the present embodiment, nine different characters (boys M1 to M8, bad guy E1) are provided, but this is not restrictive.

  In the present embodiment, the fact that a character belongs to a friend attribute or enemy attribute is an embodiment of “attribute information” according to the present invention. The “attribute” is to classify characters according to their types, properties, systems, and the like. In the present embodiment, two attributes are provided, but the present invention is not limited to this.

  In the present embodiment, when one of the four cards C2, C3, C4, and C5 is flipped, the one card is automatically selected. It is good also as a structure selected by operation of.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the card C1 has a configuration in which the player can visually recognize the front character by turning up after appearing in an inverted state, but is not limited to this configuration. In other words, the card C1 may appear in a face-up state, and the surface character may be visible to the player when it appears.

  Further, in this embodiment, the bad guy E1 is a character to which no numerical symbol is attached, but may be a character to which a numerical symbol is combined. In the present embodiment, only one character (bad person E3) belongs to the enemy attribute, but two or more characters may belong to the enemy attribute.

  In the present embodiment (see step S503), when the reach effect is performed and the pseudo-continuous effect is not performed (that is, when the effect pattern is B, C, E, or F), the display control CPU 201 Although it is the structure which selects a 2nd character based on the selection result of the 1st character in step S501, it is not limited to this structure. For example, the display control CPU 201 may be configured to select the second character based on the selection result of the decorative symbol P in the third row. Further, in the case where the second character of the main variation of the pseudo-continuous effect is selected in step S504, the second character may be similarly selected based on the selection result of the decorative design P in the third row. .

  Moreover, the structure which does not provide the boy M8 in this embodiment may be sufficient.
