Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a pachinko machine.

  Conventionally, a gaming machine that presents a plurality of notices (missions) in a so-called mission effect is known. This gaming machine presents a player with a sense of expectation that a slot game will be a big hit if multiple missions are presented during one slot game and a certain number of missions are satisfied. It is intended to improve the interest of the game (see Patent Document 1).

JP 2011-115418 A

  However, in the conventional gaming machine, if some of the presented missions are not satisfied, even if the remaining missions are satisfied, there is no expectation of a big hit, and there is a willingness to play. It will decline.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object thereof is to provide a gaming machine that can easily maintain a player's expectation.

The gaming machine of the present invention is
Based on a start signal, a privilege lottery means for performing a bonus lottery to determine whether or not to give a first benefit advantageous to a player, an effect expression means for expressing an effect based on the start signal, and after expressing the effect, Based on a result of the bonus lottery, a first privilege granting unit that grants the first privilege, an effect content determining unit that determines an expression content of the effect by effect lottery, and during the expression of the effect, An effect condition notifying means for notifying an effect condition related to expression content, and a second privilege granting means for granting a second privilege based on the degree to which the effect condition is satisfied, the effect content determining means, When it is determined that the first privilege is given after the presentation of the production, the expression content is set so that the probability of satisfying the production conditions in the production is higher than in other cases. Special to decide To.

  In the gaming machine of the present invention, for example, even when some performance conditions (for example, mission) in the early stage are not satisfied and the expectation for the first privilege is lowered, It is possible to give the player a sense of expectation for the privilege and to suppress a decrease in game motivation.

  The gaming machine of the present invention can include, for example, a satisfaction level notifying means for notifying the level of satisfaction of the performance conditions during expression of the performance. In this case, the player can easily know the extent to which the production conditions are satisfied.

  For example, the effect condition notifying unit can notify a plurality of the effect conditions. In this case, the chance that the player obtains the second privilege is increased. Further, even when there are many unsatisfied production conditions and the first privilege cannot be expected to be given, the player can have a sense of expectation for the second privilege due to the satisfaction of any production condition.

  For example, the second privilege granting unit can grant the second privilege each time the plurality of performance conditions are satisfied. In this case, the player's expectation for the second benefit is further increased.

The second privilege may be different from the first privilege, for example. In this case, the player's expectation for the second benefit is further increased.
For example, at least a part of the second privilege may be the same as the first privilege. In this case, even if the player cannot expect the first privilege, the player can have a sense of expectation to obtain the second privilege with the same content.

  The gaming machine of the present invention can include, for example, a second privilege notification unit that notifies the second privilege before being notified whether or not the performance condition is satisfied. In this case, since the player can grasp the contents of the second privilege in advance, the expectation for the second privilege is further improved.

  A 2nd privilege alerting | reporting means changes the alerting | reporting of the said 2nd privilege corresponding to the other said production conditions, for example, when the said 2nd privilege is provided according to satisfaction of a part of said production conditions. be able to. In this case, according to the 2nd privilege shown to be provided previously, the content of the 2nd privilege which may be provided later can be made appropriate. For example, if the content of the second privilege that has been shown to be granted first is a big hit, and the content of the second privilege that may be given later is an increase in the number of times reduced by 10 times, that means (Normally, the number of time reductions does not carry over after a big hit, so increasing the number of time reductions will be useless), so the content of the second privilege that may be given later is changed to a privilege image etc. and notified .

3. Basic processing executed by the gaming machine 1 In the gaming machine 1 configured as described above, first, a gaming ball is launched from the hitting ball launcher 43 by the operation of the hitting operation handle 2 of the player, and the hitting guide rail 3 A game ball is launched into the game area 5 on the game board 21 through the space between the game area forming rails 4. Then, the game ball falls in the game area 5 by its own weight, and in the process of falling, the game ball 21 is changed in the direction of falling by the game nail or the windmill 20 implanted in the game board 21, and the start winning opening 11 or the normal prize is received. If a prize is won in the mouth 14, the normal symbol operating gate 19 is passed, or if all the prize winning holes are not won, the prize is collected in the out mouth 16.

  When the game ball wins the normal winning opening 14, a predetermined prize ball is given to the player. When the game ball wins the start winning opening 11 (start winning opening 11a, start winning opening 11b), a predetermined prize ball is given to the player, and the start winning detection switch 116 detects the game ball.

  When the start winning detection switch 116 detects a game ball and outputs a start signal, the one-chip microcomputer 27 sets a random number and performs a lottery based on the random number. The random number setting is started at regular intervals, and each generated random number is stored in a random number storage area secured in the register area of the one-chip microcomputer 27, so that each stored random number has a maximum value from the initial value. Is incremented by one until the so-called “+1 method”.

  The random numbers include a random number r1 for the big hit lottery, a random number r2 for the occurrence of the probability variation state or the latent probability variation state, a variation pattern in the slot game to be described later and a random number r3 for the mission lottery, and a scroll of the effect symbols to be described later Is a random number r4 for lottery of a symbol array (hereinafter referred to as a confirmed symbol array) when the effect symbol is finalized, a random number r5 for lottery of the number of rounds in the big hit game, and is given after the big hit game And a random number r6 for lottery regarding the number of time reductions.

  The random number r1 is composed of a numerical value of 0 to 315, and each numerical value is associated with one of “big hit”, “loss”, and “big hit in the probability variation state or latent probability variation state and loss of normal time”. . In the following, the random number r1 corresponds to “big hit”, or the state of the gaming machine 1 is in the probability variation state or the latent probability variation state, and the random number r1 is “a big hit in the probability variation state or the latent probability variation state in normal time. If it corresponds to “out of”, the random number r1 corresponds to the big hit.

  On the other hand, the random number r1 corresponds to “displacement”, or the state of the gaming machine 1 is not in the probability variation state or the latent probability variation state, and the random number r1 is “a big hit in the probability variation state or the latent probability variation state, and is out of normal time. The random number r1 does not correspond to the big hit.

The random number r2 is composed of numerical values of 0 to 13, and each numerical value is associated with any one of a normal big hit, a probability variation big hit, and a latent probability variation big hit.
The random number r3 consists of numerical values from 0 to 255, and each numerical value is associated with a predetermined variation pattern. The variation pattern is a display mode in the slot game. The variation pattern in the slot game is determined by selecting a pattern previously associated with the random number r3 from among a variation pattern group (a collection of variation patterns) including a plurality of variation patterns. The variation pattern group includes a variation pattern group used in a normal state (not a mission mode described later) and a variation pattern group used in the mission mode.

  In the mission mode to be described later, the random number r3 is used for selecting a variation pattern and also for selecting a mission. That is, each numerical value in the random number r3 is previously associated with a mission set including one or more (for example, four) missions, and the mission set corresponding to the random number r3 is selected. The mission mode and the mission will be described later.

The random number r4 is made up of numerical values from 0 to 999, and each numerical value is associated with a fixed symbol array.
The random number r5 consists of numerical values from 0 to 49, and each numerical value is associated with a predetermined number of rounds.

The random number r6 is composed of numerical values of 0 to 32, and each numerical value is associated with a predetermined number of times.
Further, when a game ball is detected by the start winning detection switch 116, a plurality of types (for example, 20 types) of effect symbols are scroll-displayed on the symbol display portions 8, 9, 10 of the effect symbol display device 6, and left after a predetermined time. A slot game is performed in which the effect symbols are stopped and displayed in the order of the symbol display unit 8, the right symbol display unit 10, and the middle symbol display unit 9.

  The display mode in this slot game is the variation pattern described above. The variation pattern is a random number in the slot game (set by detection by the start winning detection switch 116 that triggered the slot game) from among the variation pattern group stored in advance in the ROM 103 of the one-chip microcomputer 27. The one corresponding to r3 is selected and used.

  The variation patterns belonging to the variation pattern group include those that include one or a plurality of predetermined display contents (one embodiment of expression contents) and those that do not. The variation pattern including the predetermined display content may include only one type of display content, or may include two or more types of display content. Here, display contents include reach display, heart display, note display, group notice, character display, and the like.

  The reach display means that the left symbol display unit 8 and the right symbol display unit 10 stop at an effect symbol that constitutes a part of a combination of jackpot effect symbols (hereinafter also referred to as a jackpot symbol), and the middle symbol display unit 9 A display that is still scrolling.

  The heart display means display contents for displaying the shape of the heart on the effect symbol display device 6 in a state where at least the middle symbol display unit 9 is scrolling. The note display means display contents for displaying a note shape on the effect symbol display device 6 at least in a state where the middle symbol display unit 9 is scrolling. The group notice refers to display contents for displaying a plurality of things (groups) on the effect symbol display device 6 at least in a state where the middle symbol display unit 9 is scrolling. The character display means display contents for displaying a character on the effect symbol display device 6 in a state where at least the middle symbol display unit 9 is scrolling.

  After the change display, when the effect symbol of the middle symbol display unit 9 stops, the effect symbols of the symbol display units 8, 9, 10 are determined. The combination of effect symbols of the symbol display portions 8, 9, and 10 at this time is a fixed symbol array. The confirmed symbol arrangement includes a big hit symbol and a deviating symbol. If it is a jackpot symbol, then a jackpot game is provided, and if it is a missed symbol, it is missed. Furthermore, the jackpot symbols include a probabilistic jackpot symbol and a normal jackpot symbol.

  The confirmed symbol arrangement is determined by lottery as follows. First, on the basis of the random numbers r1 and r2, a group of confirmed symbol arrays, which is a target for drawing a determined symbol array, is determined. That is, as shown in FIG. 8, when the random number r1 corresponds to the big hit and the random number r2 is associated with the normal big hit or the latent probability variation big hit, When a group (hereinafter, referred to as a normal jackpot symbol group) is determined, and the random number r1 corresponds to the jackpot, and the random number r2 is associated with the probability variation jackpot, the confirmed symbol including only the probability variation jackpot symbol When a group of arrays (hereinafter referred to as a probability variation big hit symbol group) is determined, and the random number r1 corresponds to an outlier, a group of a definite symbol array (hereinafter referred to as an outlier symbol group) that includes only a definite symbol of outliers. ).

  Next, a determined symbol array corresponding to the random number r4 is determined from the determined symbol array group determined as described above. Therefore, when the random number r1 corresponds to the big hit and the random number r2 is associated with the normal big hit or the latent probability variation big hit, the determined symbol arrangement is always the normal big hit symbol. In addition, when the random number r1 corresponds to a big hit and the random number r2 is associated with a probable big hit, the definite symbol array is always a probable big hit symbol. Further, when the random number r1 corresponds to a loss, the confirmed symbol array is always a loss symbol.

  In principle, the slot game described above is performed as many times as the number of times that the start winning detection switch 116 detects a game ball once. When the start winning detection switch 116 detects a game ball during the execution of the slot game, as many reserved memories as the detected number are stored. However, up to four reserved memories are stored, and when four reserved memories are already stored, even if the start winning detection switch 116 detects a game ball, the reserved memory is not added (however, Paid out). The number of on-hold memories is indicated to the player by the number of on-hold LEDs 25 that are lit.

  The reserved storage is storage that holds the random numbers r1 to r6. When the slot game that has been in progress in the state where the reserved memory exists (when the result of the slot game is a big hit, after the big hit game is performed), the random numbers r1 to r1 of the oldest of the held memories are stored. The next slot game is played using r6. The hold memory used in this way is erased, and the number of lighting of the hold LED 25 decreases by one. In the following, the slot game is performed using the hold memory in this manner, and the deletion of the hold memory is referred to as digestion of the hold memory. When there are a plurality of reserved memories, the stored timings are digested in order from the oldest.

  When the jackpot symbol is displayed as the fixed symbol array, the jackpot game is subsequently provided. In the jackpot game, a predetermined jackpot effect image is displayed on the display unit 30 of the effect symbol display device 6 as the number of rounds set in advance for each jackpot, and an attacker as the big prize opening 7 for each round. The jackpot game is executed to open the game in a predetermined manner. The number of rounds in the jackpot game is determined based on the random number r5.

  If the random number r1 used in the slot game corresponds to the big hit and the random number r2 is associated with the latent probability variation big hit, after the subsequent big hit game, the big hit probability until the next big hit Increases (shifts to the latent probability variation state) and the symbol variation time is shortened (shifts to the time-short state). At this time, even if the jackpot probability is increased, the probability variation LED 48a is not turned on, and since the confirmed symbol array is the normal jackpot array as described above, it is not clearly shown to the player that the jackpot probability has increased. The number of time reductions in the time reduction state is determined based on the random number r6.

  Also, if the random number r1 used in the slot game corresponds to a big hit and the random number r2 is associated with a probable big hit, after the subsequent big hit game ends, the big hit is reached. As the probability rises (shifts to a probable variation state), the symbol variation time is shortened (transitions to a shorter time state). At this time, the probability change LED 48a is turned on, and since the confirmed symbol array is the probability variation big hit array as described above, it is clearly shown to the player that the big hit probability has increased. The number of time reductions in the time reduction state is determined based on the random number r6.

  In addition, when the random number r1 used in the slot game corresponds to the big hit and the random number r2 is usually assigned to the big hit, after the subsequent big hit game is over, the time shifts to the short time state. It does not enter the probability change state.

  The order in which the effect symbols on the left symbol display unit 8, the middle symbol display unit 9, and the right symbol display unit 10 are stopped in the effect symbol display device 6 is not particularly limited. A small hit may be provided, and the special winning opening 7 (attacker) may be opened in a predetermined manner.

  Further, when the game ball wins the start winning opening 11, the special symbol display device 47 is activated simultaneously with the production symbol display device 6 and the special symbol is variably displayed. When the effect symbol that has been variably displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 is stopped and fixedly displayed, it is simultaneously stopped and fixedly displayed. That is, the variation display of the effect symbol display device 6 and the variation display of the special symbol display device 47 are synchronized. Note that the variable display of the special symbol display device 47 is executed by lighting the segments of the 7-segment LED in a predetermined order.

  When the offending or jackpot symbol is confirmed and displayed on the effect symbol display device 6, the predetermined offset or jackpot symbol is also displayed on the special symbol display device 47. Also, in the special symbol display device 47, there is one type of special symbol at the time of a loss, while there are a plurality of types (for example, 20 types) of special symbols for jackpots. (For example, the number of rounds, the presence or absence of probability variation and time reduction, the number of times, etc.) are different.

  When the big hit is reached, the round display LEDs 46a, 46b, 46c of the round display device 46 are turned on according to the number of rounds of the big hit. For example, if the special symbol for the big hit this time is a big hit for four rounds, the round indicator LED 46a is lit while the special winning opening 7 is in operation, and if the special symbol for the big hit is a round seven big hit, When the round display LED 46b is turned on during the operation of No. 7 and the special symbol for the big hit is 15 rounds of the big win, the round display LED 46c is turned on during the operation of the big winning opening 7. Of course, the combination in which the round display LEDs 46a, 46b, 46c are lit may be set as appropriate according to the special symbol for the big hit.

  When the game ball passes through the normal symbol operation gate 19, a game ball is detected by an operation gate detection switch 121, which will be described later, and the normal symbol is variably displayed on the normal symbol display device 18, and a lottery is performed for a predetermined time. After the elapse of time, the hit LED 18a is turned on and a predetermined hit symbol (for example, “◎”) is confirmed and displayed, and the blade of the electric tulip (start winning port 11b) is opened for a predetermined time. If a predetermined error symbol (for example, “X”) is confirmed and displayed, the symbol is lost.

4). Process (1) Process Performed by Game Machine 1 in Mission Mode Selection of Variation Pattern and Mission Processes performed by game machine 1 in the mission mode will be described. The mission mode is set in the next one slot game when a jackpot game is provided.

  When the mission mode is started, first, either PM1 or PM2 is selected as a variation pattern group used for determining a variation pattern. At this time, after the mission mode, when a big hit (first privilege) occurs, PM1 is selected, and when a big hit does not occur, PM2 is selected.

  Each of PM1 and PM2 includes a plurality of variation patterns, and each of the plurality of variation patterns is associated with one of the random numbers r3. For example, in PM1, as shown in FIG. 9, 0 of the random number r3 is associated with a variation pattern P1, which is one of the variation patterns. Similarly, one fluctuation pattern P2, P3,... Is associated with random numbers r3 1 to 255, respectively.

  Also in PM2, as shown in FIG. 10, 0 of the random number r3 is associated with a variation pattern P256, which is one of the variation patterns. Similarly, one variation pattern P257, P258,... Is also associated with each of random numbers r3 1 to 255.

  Next, a variation pattern corresponding to the random number r3 is selected from the variation pattern group selected as described above. Also, a mission set associated with the random number r3 in advance is selected. For example, as shown in FIG. 9, when the variation pattern group is PM1 and the random number r3 is 0, a set of missions corresponding to M1, M2, M3, and M4 is selected. Also, as shown in FIG. 10, when the variation pattern group is PM2 and the random number r3 is 0, a corresponding mission set consisting of M1, M2, M3, and M4 is selected. Note that the mission sets corresponding to the same random number r3 may be the same or different depending on whether the variation pattern group is PM1 or PM2. As described above, the variation pattern and the mission set are selected as a set.

  Here, the mission is a condition relating to the display contents of the slot game displayed during the execution of the slot game. The missions M1 to M5 in FIGS. 9 and 10 are as follows.

M1: “Take out the heart”
M2: “Get your reach”
M3: “Make notes”
M4: “Get out of the group”
M5: “Get out the character”
During the slot game, if the heart is displayed as one of the display contents included in the variation pattern, the mission M1 is satisfied, and if the heart is not displayed, the mission M1 is not satisfied. become. Similarly, when a reach, a note, a group, or a character is displayed as one of the display contents included in the variation pattern during the execution of the slot game, the missions M2, M3, M4, and M5 are satisfied, respectively. If it is not displayed, it means that those missions were not satisfied.

  If the variation pattern group and the random number r3 are determined, the variation pattern and the mission set are uniquely determined, and whether each mission is satisfied is also uniquely determined. For example, when PM1 is selected as the variation pattern group, the satisfaction / unsatisfaction of each mission is as shown in FIG. 9 in each value of the random number r3, and when PM2 is selected as the variation pattern group, the random number In each value of r3, the satisfaction / unsatisfaction of each mission is as shown in FIG.

  In FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, “◯” means that the mission is satisfied, and “X” means that the mission is not satisfied. Further, in the column of “Mission Satisfaction” in FIGS. 9 and 10, the i-th (i is any one of 1 to 4) “○” or “x” from the left is the left of the column “Mission Set” Means fulfillment / dissatisfaction of the i-th mission.

  Of the random number r3, the proportion of those that will satisfy even one mission is when PM1 is selected as the variation pattern group (that is, when a big hit occurs after the slot game in the mission mode) It is higher than when PM2 is selected (when a big hit does not occur after the mission mode slot game).

  That is, when a big hit occurs after the mission mode, there is a higher possibility that even one mission will be satisfied in the mission mode than when no big hit occurs. In addition, when a big hit occurs after the mission mode, there is a high possibility that the number of missions satisfied in the mission mode is larger than when no big hit occurs.

Therefore, from the viewpoint of the player, when one mission is satisfied in the mission mode, the expectation that a big hit will occur after the mission mode is higher than when no mission is satisfied at all. From the viewpoint of the player, the greater the number of missions that can be satisfied in the mission mode, the higher the expectation that a big hit will occur after the mission mode. The relationship between the number of satisfied missions and the degree of expectation that a big hit will occur after the mission mode is, for example, as shown in FIG.
(2) Display in Mission Mode A slot game in the mission mode is displayed using the variation pattern and mission set selected as described above. That is, during the mission mode, the effect symbol display device 6 displays the selected mission set, and the display content corresponding to the mission is displayed in the selected variation pattern (that is, the mission is satisfied). , Not displayed (ie mission not fulfilled).

  In addition, during the mission mode, the effect symbol display device 6 displays the degree to which the mission has been satisfied since the start of the mission mode (hereinafter referred to as cumulative display). Cumulative display, for example, is not performed if no missions have been satisfied up to that point, and i items (for example, stars) if i (i is a natural number) missions are satisfied. Can be displayed.

  FIG. 11 shows a display example of the effect symbol display device 6 in the mission mode. As shown in FIG. 11A, in the mission mode, the first mission “mission 1” (mission 1) is displayed. When the heart is not displayed, the mission is not satisfied, and “mission 1: failure” is displayed as shown in FIG. 11B. The second mission (mission 2), “Take out reach” is displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 11C, when reach is reached, mission 2 is satisfied and “mission 2 successful” is displayed. At this time, one star 205 representing the success of one mission is displayed as a cumulative display. At this time, the third mission (mission 3), “Take out the group” is displayed. At this time, “privilege background 1 GET!” Indicating that the privilege background 1 (one embodiment of the second privilege) is given due to the fulfillment of mission 2 is displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 11D, when group 206 exits, mission 3 is satisfied and “mission 3 successful” is displayed. At this time, two stars 205 representing the success of the two missions are displayed as a cumulative display. At this time, the fourth mission (mission 4), “put out a character” is displayed. At this time, “privilege background 2 GET!” Is displayed indicating that the privilege background 2 (one embodiment of the second privilege) is given due to the fulfillment of mission 3.

  As shown in FIG. 11E, when the character 207 comes out, mission 4 is satisfied and “mission 4 successful” is displayed. At this time, three stars 205 representing the success of the three missions are displayed as a cumulative display. At this time, “privilege background 3GET!” Indicating that the privilege background 3 (one embodiment of the second privilege) is given due to the fulfillment of the mission 4 is displayed.

  Thereafter, the slot game ends and the mission mode also ends. In addition, the example shown in FIG. 11 is an example in which three missions were satisfied and the big hit expectation was high, but the big hit was not provided. In this example, the privilege background 3 different from the normal background is displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 from the next slot game. After completing the mission mode, the game state returns to the normal gaming state.

  FIG. 12 shows another display example of the effect symbol display device 6 in the mission mode. As shown in FIG. 12A, immediately after the start of the mission mode, the three missions “Take out reach”, “Put out a character”, and “Put out a note” are displayed simultaneously. At this time, “time remaining 10 times” indicating that the number of time savings remaining at that time is 10 is displayed.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 12B, when a reach is made in the mission mode, “success” indicating the success of the mission is displayed on the right side of the mission “Take Reach”, and further on the right side of the mission. “+5” indicating that the number of time reductions is added five times by satisfaction (one embodiment of granting the second privilege) is displayed.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 12C, when the character 207 comes out in the mission mode, “Success” indicating satisfaction of the mission is displayed on the right side of “Take out character”, and further on the right side Displays “+5” indicating that the number of time reductions is added five times (one embodiment of the provision of the second privilege).

  After that, as shown in FIG. 12D, when the slot game is finished without satisfying “Make a note”, a total of 10 time reductions are added by fulfilling two missions as shown in FIG. 12E. “Time reduction + 10” is displayed, and “Time remaining 20 times” indicating that the number of time reduction remaining at that time is 20 is displayed. Thereafter, the mission mode ends. After completing the mission mode, the game state returns to the normal gaming state.

  In addition, the addition of the number of time reductions is not performed during the execution of the slot game, but it has already been acquired, but by notifying the time shortage that has not been notified to the player at the time of mission fulfillment, it is as if the mission of It can appear as if it was granted by satisfaction.

For example, due to a big hit, 50 times are actually given, but the effect symbol display device 6 displays “20 times”. Each time a mission is fulfilled, the number of short times displayed is increased by 5 times, with the upper limit being 50 times.
(3) Grant of special privilege The gaming machine 1 grants a second privilege corresponding to the fulfilled mission after the mission mode ends. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 11, privilege backgrounds 1 to 3 are sequentially given in the mission mode, and the privilege background 3 having the highest value (low appearance frequency) is selected as the next slot game in the mission mode. To display as the background of the slot game. In addition, in the example shown in FIG.

5. Effects played by the gaming machine 1 (1) In the slot game in the mission mode, the probability that the mission is satisfied is higher when the result of the slot game is a big hit than when the game is lost. Therefore, the player expects that the result of the slot game will be a big hit when the mission is satisfied during the slot game, and the interest of the game increases.

(2) In the slot game in the mission mode, when the mission is satisfied, the second privilege is granted. This can further enhance the interest of the player.
<Second Embodiment>
The configuration of the gaming machine 1 and the processing to be executed are basically the same as those in the first embodiment, but are partially different. Hereinafter, the difference will be mainly described.

1. Processing Performed by Game Machine 1 in Mission Mode In the present embodiment, display content that the character defeats the enemy is displayed in a part or all of the slot game. In this display content, there are a plurality of types of enemies to be defeated, and it is selected from among 0, 1, 2, 3, and so on.

In the present embodiment, the following mission M6 is included as a mission.
M6: Defeat the enemy.
All or part of the variation pattern selected in the mission mode includes the above-described display content that the character defeats the enemy. In the variation pattern including the display content that the character defeats the enemy, the number of enemies to defeat is predetermined for each variation pattern.

  The missions that can be selected in the mission mode include M6 missions. When the M6 mission is displayed, the number of characters that the character defeats the enemy in the same slot game is about the satisfaction of that mission.

  The degree of satisfaction of the M6 mission (number of defeated enemies) is when PM1 is selected when PM1 is selected as the variation pattern group (that is, when a big hit occurs after the slot game in the mission mode) It is more on average than (when a big hit does not occur after the mission mode slot game).

Therefore, from the viewpoint of the player, the greater the number of enemies defeated in the mission mode, the higher the expectation that a big hit will occur after the mission mode.
FIG. 13 shows a display example of the effect symbol display device 6 in the mission mode of the present embodiment. Immediately after the start of the mission mode, as shown in FIG. 13A, a mission (M6) of “Defeat the enemy” is displayed. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 13B, an effect is performed in which the character 207 defeats the enemy. As shown in FIG. 13C, “18 killed” indicating the degree of satisfaction of the mission M6 is displayed.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 13D, “Point 180P presentation”, which is a privilege corresponding to the degree of satisfaction of mission M6, is displayed.
The above points are awarded 10P per defeated enemy. A second amount can be obtained by using a predetermined amount of this point in the gaming machine. Examples of the second privilege include changing the BGM using 100P, displaying a privilege video, displaying a player's favorite image, and the like.

2. Effects produced by the gaming machine 1 (1) The gaming machine 1 can produce substantially the same effects as in the first embodiment.
(2) Since the degree of satisfaction of the mission M6 is various, the contents of the game are diversified, and the entertainment of the game can be further improved.
<Third Embodiment>
The configuration of the gaming machine 1 and the processing to be executed are basically the same as those in the first embodiment, but are partially different. Hereinafter, the difference will be mainly described.

  In this embodiment, a plurality of missions are displayed simultaneously in the mission mode. In the present embodiment, for each mission, the second privilege granted when the mission is satisfied is displayed in advance (before the degree of satisfaction of the mission is displayed).

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the degree of satisfaction of some missions is displayed, the second corresponding to the mission that does not yet display the degree of satisfaction among other missions according to the content of the display. Change the benefits.

  In FIG. 14, the example of a display of the effect symbol display apparatus 6 in the mission mode of this embodiment is shown. When the mission mode is started, as shown in FIG. 14A, “Take out heart” is displayed as mission 1, “Take out character” is displayed as mission 2, and “Take out note” is displayed as mission 3. The The jackpot is displayed as the second privilege when mission 1 is satisfied, the probability change is displayed as the second privilege when mission 2 is satisfied, and the second privilege when mission 3 is satisfied As a bonus image.

  After that, when the heart is not displayed and the unsatisfaction of mission 1 is determined, as shown in FIG. 14B1, the second privilege when satisfying mission 2 has been changed from probabilistic to jackpot and satisfied mission 3 The second privilege at the time is changed from a privilege image to a certain change. This is because there is no point in satisfying mission 2 and giving certainty in a state where it is not shown that jackpot is given.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 14C1, when the character 207 is issued and the mission 2 is satisfied, a jackpot is awarded as a second privilege later. In addition, four stars 205 are displayed. Note that the number of stars 205 that increase when one mission is satisfied varies depending on the lottery. In this example, four stars 205 were awarded for the fulfillment of one mission by lottery. Thereafter, the degree of satisfaction of mission 3 is displayed, and the mission mode continues until the slot game ends.

  On the other hand, when the mission 1 is satisfied after the state shown in FIG. 14A is reached, the second privilege when the mission 2 is satisfied and the second when the mission 3 is satisfied, as shown in FIG. 14B2. The benefits will not change. Thereafter, the degree of satisfaction of missions 2 and 3 is displayed, and the mission mode continues until the slot game ends.

2. Effects produced by the gaming machine 1 (1) The gaming machine 1 can produce substantially the same effects as those of the first or second embodiment.

(2) When the degree of satisfaction of some missions is displayed, the gaming machine 1 corresponds to a mission that does not yet display the degree of satisfaction among other missions according to the content of the display. 2 benefits can be changed. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the provision of a second benefit that is meaningless in the state of the gaming machine 1 at that time (for example, a probable change in a state in which the jackpot grant is not displayed).
<Fourth Embodiment>
The configuration of the gaming machine 1 and the processing to be executed are basically the same as those in the first embodiment, but are partially different. Hereinafter, the difference will be mainly described.

  In the present embodiment, after the end of the big hit game, a mission mode is executed over n consecutive slot games on condition that n reserved memories are stored (n is any one of 1 to 4).

In the present embodiment, at the start or before the start of the mission mode, the n reserved memories are prefetched, and the variation pattern and the mission set for each of the n slot games are selected in advance.
In the present embodiment, the number of missions to be displayed (mission 1, mission 2,...) Is given a serial number for the entire n slot games. In addition, the number of stars 205 representing the number of fulfillment of the mission is the cumulative fulfillment number of the entire n slot games.

  FIG. 15 shows a display example of the effect symbol display device 6 in the mission mode of the present embodiment. This example is a mission mode consisting of four consecutive slot games executed when four reserved memories are accumulated.

  As shown in FIG. 15A, “Take out a heart” is displayed as mission 1 in the first slot game. A black circle 209 at the lower right of the screen represents the number of unreserved reserved storage. For example, if the number of black circles 209 is 3, it indicates that there are 3 undigested reserved memories. Further, one black circle 211 at the lower left of the screen represents one reserved memory being digested. In addition, a display unit 204 representing the upper limit value of the number of missions that can be satisfied in the mission mode is displayed. The display unit 204 is composed of five white stars, and represents the upper limit (5) of the number of missions that can be satisfied in the mission mode. In the mission mode, each time one mission is satisfied, one open star in the display unit 204 is replaced with one filled star 205, and the number of filled stars 205 satisfies the mission. Represents the number of

  As shown in FIG. 15B, when the heart 213 is displayed and the mission 1 is satisfied, “mission 1 successful” indicating the satisfaction of the mission 1 is displayed, and on the right side, the number of time reductions is 10 times due to the satisfaction of the mission. “Time reduction + 10” is displayed, indicating that it is to be added (one embodiment of granting the second privilege). Note that the addition of the number of time reductions is not performed at the time of the slot game, but has already been acquired, but the time reduction that has not been notified to the player is notified as soon as the mission is satisfied, as if the mission is satisfied Can look like.

  In addition, one filled star 205 is displayed in place of one white star constituting the display unit 204, indicating that the mission has been satisfied once in the mission mode. In addition, “Make Reach” is displayed as mission 2.

  As shown in FIG. 15C, when the slot game is finished without reaching reach and the unsatisfaction of mission 2 is confirmed, “mission 2: failure” indicating the unsatisfaction of mission 2 is displayed. Also, “Stop 4 to the right” is displayed as mission 3, and “Reach to reach” is displayed as mission 4.

  As shown in FIG. 15D, when the second slot game starts and 4 stops on the right and reaches reach, missions 3 and 4 are satisfied, so “mission 3 and 4 successful” are displayed. In addition, “in-game point +10” that is the second privilege due to the satisfaction of the mission 3 and “confirmed probability state confirmation” that is the second privilege due to the satisfaction of the mission 4 are displayed.

  Also, three stars 205 are displayed, indicating that the mission has been satisfied a total of three times during the mission mode. Also, “Get out a character” is displayed as mission 5. In addition, two black circles 209 at the lower right of the screen indicate that the number of undigested reserved memories is two.

  As shown in FIG. 15E, when the character does not appear, the slot game ends, and when the unsatisfaction of mission 5 is confirmed, “mission 5: failure” is displayed. In addition, “Make Reach” is displayed as mission 6.

  As shown in FIG. 15F, when the third slot game ends without reaching reach, the unsatisfaction of mission 6 is confirmed, and as shown in FIG. 15G, when the fourth slot game starts, “mission 6 : Failed ”is displayed. Further, “Stop 2 on the left” is displayed as the mission 7.

  As shown in FIG. 15H, when “8” stops on the left and the unsatisfaction of mission 7 is confirmed, “mission 7 failure” is displayed. In addition, “Make Reach” is displayed as mission 8.

  As shown in FIG. 15I, when the fourth slot game is finished without reaching reach and mission 8 is not satisfied, “mission 8 failure” is displayed. At this point, the mission mode ends.

2. Effects produced by the gaming machine 1 (1) The gaming machine 1 can produce substantially the same effects as in the first to third embodiments.
(2) Since the gaming machine 1 can execute a mission mode that spans n consecutive slot games, the game content is diversified and the interest of the game is further improved.
<Other embodiments>
(1) In the first to fourth embodiments, if a specific mission is displayed in the same slot game even after the display is erased without the specific mission being satisfied, the mission is satisfied. You may judge that you did.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 16, after displaying the mission “Take out a heart”, if the mission is not satisfied within a predetermined time and the display of the mission is deleted, It can be determined that the mission of “Get out” has been fulfilled. In this case, it is possible to make the player have long expectation to satisfy the mission.

  (2) In the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17, a plurality of missions may be displayed at once. In this case, it may be essential to satisfy a plurality of missions in a predetermined order, or any mission may be satisfied regardless of the order.

  (3) In the third embodiment, it is possible not to display the upper limit value of the number of missions that can be satisfied. For example, as shown in FIG. 18, the number of white stars corresponding to the number of missions may not be displayed, and the number of filled stars 205 may be displayed as many as the number of missions satisfied.

  (4) In the first to fourth embodiments, when a predetermined number of displayed missions (for example, the first to Nth missions (N is a natural number) from the top) cannot be satisfied within one mission mode. The mission mode may be ended, or the subsequent missions may not be displayed.

  (5) In the first to fourth embodiments, the number of increase of the star 205 when one mission is satisfied may be different depending on the type of mission. Even in the same mission, the number of increasing stars may be different depending on the lottery result regarding the number of stars.

  For example, as shown in FIG. In this example, if the mission “Stop * to the right” is fulfilled, the number of increasing stars is 1 with a 90% probability, 2 with a 6% probability, 3 with a 3% probability, The probability is 4 with a probability of 1%. In this case, since a plurality of stars may be increased by satisfying one mission, the player can be expected to acquire many stars.

  (6) In the first to fourth embodiments, since the mission mode has been started, the expression mode of the degree to which the mission has been satisfied up to that point (cumulative display) is particularly limited as long as it can be expressed. Instead, for example, it may be expressed by background, display effect, change in sound, display of the number of symbols, music, character, growth process, numerical value, etc. in the effect symbol display device 6.

  (7) In the first to fourth embodiments, the mission mode ends when a predetermined time (for example, 3 minutes) has elapsed from the start of the mission mode or when a predetermined number of reach times has been reached. May be. Further, there may be an effect in the mission mode that makes it appear that the mission mode once ends and then restarts.

(8) In the fourth embodiment, missions may be displayed only in some slot games.
(9) In the first to fourth embodiments, a so-called pseudo continuous notice may be included in the mission mode. Here, the pseudo continuous notice includes a plurality of pseudo slot games in one slot game performed by using one reserved memory. That is, a single slot game includes a plurality of repeating units (hereinafter referred to as pseudo-slot games) including a scroll display and a fixed display according to a predetermined variation pattern.

  By including the pseudo continuous notice, the number of slot games belonging to the mission mode can be apparently increased. For example, in the first and second embodiments, the number of slot games that apparently belong to the mission mode can be two or more. In the fourth embodiment, slots that apparently belong to the mission mode. The number of games can be greater than or equal to the maximum number (4) of reserved storage.

  (10) In the first to fourth embodiments, as a first benefit, in addition to or instead of the big hit, the big hit time probability change (if the big hit is a positive change), the probability variation latent state Notification (indicating that the current state is a probabilistic state), setting the number of rounds of jackpot, setting the number of times of jackpot hours, adding the number of hours and hours (adding a predetermined number apparently to the number of hours and hours remaining at that time ), Special benefits, etc. may be granted. Here, the special privilege is provision of a special image or music.

  If the first bonus is setting the number of rounds for jackpot time, setting the number of times of jackpot hours, or adding the number of times of hours, the relationship between the number of missions satisfied in the mission mode, the content of the first bonus, and the expected value For example, as shown in FIG. For example, if the first privilege is the setting of the number of big hit rounds and the number of missions satisfied in the mission mode is 1, the expected value for the big hit number of rounds is 5R is 80%, and the expected value for 10Rs Is 15%, and the expected value of 16R is 5%.

  Further, in the first to fourth embodiments, as the second privilege, the jackpot time-variable change, probability variation latent state notification, the jackpot round number setting, the jackpot round number setting, the short-time number addition, the special privilege, etc. are given. May be.

  The first privilege and the second privilege may be the same or different. Moreover, when there are a plurality of types of the second privilege, any one or more of them may be the same as the first privilege, and any second privilege may be different from the first privilege. .

  However, if it is not advantageous for the player that the first privilege and the second privilege are the same, the combination may be excluded. For example, the case where both the 1st privilege and the 2nd privilege are big hits is mentioned. The second privilege may be advantageous to the player or may not be so.

  In the first to fourth embodiments, the jackpot is one embodiment of the first privilege, and the slot game is one embodiment of production, reach display, heart display, note display, group notice, character The display or the like is an embodiment of the display contents of the effect, the mission is an embodiment of the effect condition, and the cumulative display displayed on the effect symbol display device is an embodiment of the satisfaction degree notifying means. In addition, in the third embodiment, before informing whether or not a mission is satisfied, displaying the second privilege corresponding to the mission in advance is an embodiment of the second privilege display means. It is.

  (11) In the first to fourth embodiments, a plurality of items may be determined based on one random number. For example, it may be determined whether or not it is a big hit based on the random number 1, and the probability variation, the number of rounds, and the number of time reductions may be determined based on the random number 2.

  (12) In the first to fourth embodiments, the trigger for starting the mission mode is, for example, that a predetermined number of slot games have been performed, a predetermined number of holds have been accumulated, a predetermined time has elapsed, It may be a lottery for determining the start.

(13) In the first to fourth embodiments, the star 205 may be displayed only when the mission is satisfied.
(14) In the first to fourth embodiments, the contents of the privilege may be displayed.

(15) The mode of the latent probability change may be as follows.
The probability change LED 48a is lit, but it is difficult to recognize whether the lighting state is the normal state or the probability variation state. In this case, for example, a plurality of lighting patterns of the probability change LED 48a can be displayed as a segment.
• The liquid crystal display contents are the same during the probability variation incubation and in the normal state but during the incubation.
・ Hidden probability change is a big hit that becomes a latent probability change, and it becomes a latent state (a state in which it is difficult for a player to determine whether or not it is a probable change). In other words, the player may not know whether or not the probability is changed as compared with the effect that becomes a latent state (the same expression as the latent probability change). Further, as in the embodiment, the number of rounds may be the same, but it may not be clearly specified or normal.
