Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine in which a big hit state or loss that is advantageous to a player is determined when a game ball is won at a starting port, and a special symbol can be variably displayed on a display means.

  Usually, for example, in a pachinko gaming machine called Type 1, the game board is provided with a display means composed of a liquid crystal screen, various winning holes, etc., and a game ball is placed at the starting hole which is one of the winning holes. When winning a prize, the symbols are displayed in a variable manner on the display means, and when they are all stopped and displayed, the game is in a “hit state” advantageous to the player, and a large number of game balls can be obtained as prize balls. ing.

  More specifically, the conventional pachinko gaming machine determines, for example, a jackpot state or losing advantage advantageous to the player when a game ball is won at the starting port, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, for example. A random number value for effect and a random number value for effect for determining an effect form are acquired, and the random number value for effect and the random number value for effect are stored as reserved data (data of the reserved ball), and the reserved data Based on this, the display means is configured to display the special symbols in a variable manner.

  If the special symbol is variably displayed on the display means when the game ball is won at the start opening, the reserved data is sequentially held up to a predetermined number, and the special symbol is stopped and displayed. The special symbols can be sequentially displayed on the display means in a variable manner based on the reserved data. However, conventionally, what improves so-called playability has been proposed by causing a so-called “look-ahead effect” to be performed based on newly stored pending data.

  The pre-reading effect is executed based on the newly stored hold data from the special symbol variation display executed based on the other stored hold data when the hold data is newly stored. It is assumed that whether or not the continuous related effects continuously related over the variation display of the special symbol is executed is determined by determining the newly stored pending data.

JP 2010-279750 A

  However, in the above-described prior art, it is possible to suggest a reserved ball that is highly likely to generate a big hit state by performing a continuous related effect as a so-called look-ahead effect. Although it is possible, there is a problem that the production effect due to the continuous related effects becomes monotonous and is insufficient for improving the game performance.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine capable of further enhancing the effect of production due to continuous related effects.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, numerical value data for jackpots for determining a jackpot state or a loss that is advantageous to a player and a numerical value data for effects for determining a mode of play are provided in response to a winning of a game ball at the start opening. A lottery means to acquire, a storage means for storing numerical data acquired as a trigger when a game ball wins at the start opening, as a hold data, and a change for displaying special symbols on the display means based on the hold data When new hold data is stored in the display control means and the storage means, the newly stored hold is obtained from the special symbol variation display executed based on the other hold data stored in the storage means. Over a special symbol variation display that is executed based on the data, or based on a plurality of already stored hold data not including the newly stored hold A pre-determining means for determining whether or not to execute continuously related continuous effects over a variable display of a plurality of special symbols to be executed by determining the newly stored pending data; A gaming machine comprising: an effect control means for performing the continuous related effect during the variable display of each special symbol on the condition that the continuous related effect is determined to be executed by the pre-article determination unit. The continuous related effects performed by the effect control means are the first continuous related effects in which the effects are performed only during a partial period of each symbol variation in the variation display of the plurality of special symbols, and the variation display of the plurality of special symbols. A second continuous related effect that is produced over the entire period of each symbol variation, and either or both of the first continuous related effect and the second continuous related effect are selectively performed, First It is configured such that the expectation level and appearance rate that become a big hit state of the continuous related effect and the second continuous related effect are set differently, and the start port includes a first start port and a second start port, and The storage means stores numerical data acquired when a game ball is won at the first start opening as first hold data, and is acquired when the game ball wins at the second start opening. The numerical data is stored as second reserved data, and the variable display control means displays the first special symbol in a variable manner based on the first reserved data, and changes the first special symbol based on the second reserved data. 2 special symbols are variably displayed, and the variation display of the second special symbol is given priority over the variation display of the first special symbol, and the effect control means changes the plurality of first special symbols. When the second special symbol is preferentially variably displayed in the process of dynamic display and the first continuous related effect is performed, the first continuous related is displayed in the variable display of the second special symbol. When the second continuous related effect is performed without performing the effect corresponding to the effect, the second special symbol variation is configured to perform the effect corresponding to the second continuous related effect, and In the first continuous related performance, the ratio selected when the jackpot state is derived from the jackpot numerical data acquired by the lottery means is the first ratio, and the jackpot acquired by the lottery means The ratio selected when the jackpot state is not derived in the numerical value data for use is the second ratio, and the second continuous related performance is the jackpot numerical data acquired by the lottery means in the jackpot value data The ratio selected when the state is derived is the third ratio, and the ratio selected when the jackpot state is not derived in the jackpot numeric data acquired by the lottery means is the fourth ratio. And the first ratio is lower than the third ratio and the second ratio is higher than the fourth ratio, and the jackpot state is obtained in the jackpot numerical data acquired by the lottery means. Among the derived items, when the number of the pending data when the jackpot state is derived is the first pending number, the proportion that has been jackpoted through the first continuous related performance is the fifth proportion, When the number is smaller than the first number of reservations, the fifth ratio is higher than the sixth ratio when the ratio of the big success through the first continuous related effects is the sixth ratio. Like It characterized in that it is because setting.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, the continuous related effects performed by the effect control means include a first continuous related effect in which the effects are performed only during a partial period of each symbol variation in the variation display of a plurality of special symbols, Since there is a second continuous related effect in which the effect is performed over the entire period of each symbol variation in the special symbol variation display, two different continuous related effects can be selectively performed. The production effect can be further enhanced.

  Further, when the second special symbol is variably displayed in the process of variably displaying the plurality of first special symbols and the first continuous related effect is performed, the second special symbol is displayed. When the second continuous related effect is performed without performing the effect corresponding to the first continuous related effect in the variation display, the effect corresponding to the second continuous related effect is performed in the second special symbol variation. Since it is performed, when the first continuous related effect is performed and when the second continuous related effect is performed, the effect when the variable display of the second special symbol is preferentially performed may be different. It is possible to enhance the production effect.

  Further, in the first continuous related performance, the ratio selected when the jackpot state is derived is the first ratio, and the ratio selected when the jackpot state is not derived is the second ratio, In the 2 consecutive effects, the ratio selected when the jackpot state is derived is the third ratio, the ratio selected when the jackpot state is not derived is the fourth ratio, and the first ratio When the ratio is lower than the third ratio and the second ratio is higher than the fourth ratio, and the jackpot state is derived, the number of the hold data is the first hold number. The ratio that became a big hit through the continuous related effects is the fifth ratio, and when the number of pending data is smaller than the first number of reservations, the ratio that became the big hit through the first continuous related effects is the sixth ratio. 5th ratio Since it is previously set to be higher than the sixth ratio, it can achieve the following effects.

  That is, out of those for which the jackpot state has been derived, when the number of pending data is the first pending number, the ratio that has been a jackpot through the first continuous related effect is the fifth percentage, and the pending data is smaller than the first pending number When it is the number of reserves, when the ratio that became a big hit through the first continuous related production is set as the sixth ratio, the fifth ratio is preset to be higher than the sixth ratio, so the first continuous The greater the number of consecutive related effects, the higher the probability of winning a jackpot, and the player expects. However, if priority variation is performed by the second special symbol in the middle of the first continuous related performance, the number of consecutive times increases, and the player has high expectations despite the fact that the ratio of jackpot is set low. As a result, the balance between the expectation level of the player and the actual jackpot ratio may be lost, which may reduce the interest of the player. On the other hand, the first continuous related effect is not a series of effects over a plurality of variations like the second continuous related effect, so when priority change is performed by the second special symbol on the way, Even if the effect corresponding to the first continuous related effect is not performed at the time of the priority change, and the first continuous related effect is performed again at the subsequent change, the player's interest is enhanced or reduced. The impact is low.

  Therefore, when the first continuous related effect is performed, the proportion corresponding to the pre-set jackpot is set by not performing the effect corresponding to the first continuous related effect in the variable display of the second special symbol. When the second continuous related effect is performed while the balance can be prevented from being lost, by causing the second special symbol variation to perform an effect corresponding to the second continuous related effect, Also, it is possible to place an emphasis on performance effects due to the continuity of the second continuous related performance.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings.
The gaming machine according to the present embodiment is a pachinko gaming machine, and has a front frame 3 to which a glass plate 2 is attached, as shown in FIG. 4 is configured to be visible. The game board 4 is formed with various accessories, a plurality of nails, a windmill, and the like. Further, the game board 4 is formed with an electric tulip 7 having a first start port 6, a second start port 7a (see FIG. 3), a prize winning port 8, a gate 9, and the like. A handle 14 is provided at the lower right corner of the pachinko gaming machine 1 and is configured to launch a game ball in the tray 13 to the game board 4 by rotating the handle 14.

  The first start port 6 and the electric tulip 7 are arranged side by side vertically below the symbol display section 5 (specifically, a liquid crystal image display) on the game board 4, and each is independently Game balls can be won. Among these, the first starting port 6 is for acquiring numerical data (specifically, a random number for jackpot and a random number for presentation) that can be determined whether or not the game ball wins, and is directed upward. The game is open and the game ball is always allowed to win.

  On the other hand, the second start opening 7a in the electric tulip 7 is called a variable winning opening. As shown in FIG. 3, the electric tulip 7 is in a closed state in which the winning of the game ball is restricted (see FIG. 3A). ) To an open state (see FIG. 5B) that allows the game ball to be won, the game ball can be won. Thus, the second start port 7a is numerical data (specifically, a jackpot random number value and an effect random number value) that can be determined whether or not the jackpot is won when the electric tulip 7 is opened and the game ball is won. To get.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, a first special symbol display means 10 and a second special symbol display means 11 made of, for example, 7 segments are formed. The first special symbol display means 10 displays a special symbol (first special symbol) in a variable manner when a game ball wins at the first starting port 6, and the random number value (big jackpot) acquired at the time of winning the first starting port 6 The special symbol corresponding to the random number) is stopped and displayed. The second special symbol display means 11 is configured to display the special symbol (second special symbol) when the game ball is won by the electric tulip 7 being opened. Is displayed in a variable manner, and a special symbol corresponding to the random value (big value for jackpot) acquired at the time of winning the electric tulip 7 is stopped and displayed.

  In other words, the winning for the first starting port 6 and the winning for the second starting port 7a of the electric tulip 7 are controlled independently of each other. When winning the first starting port 6, the first special symbol display means 10 is used. The variation display of the first special symbol is started, and when the electric tulip 7 wins the second start port 7a, the variation display of the second special symbol by the second special symbol display means 11 is started.

  The gate 9 is configured to allow game balls to pass therethrough, and unlike other winning holes, no prize balls are paid out by passing. Further, a normal symbol display means 12 is disposed in the vicinity of the first special symbol display means 10 and the second special symbol display means 11. When the game ball passes through the gate 9, the normal symbol display means 12 displays the normal symbol in a variable manner (in this embodiment, the circle mark and the cross mark are alternately lit), and a predetermined normal symbol (this embodiment). When a circle is displayed in a stopped state, it becomes a “win” and the electric tulip 7 is opened for a predetermined time.

  In the present embodiment, it is set so that the player can be more advantageous when winning the electric tulip 7 (second starting port) than when winning the first starting port 6. For example, in the high probability gaming state, when winning the second starting port 7a of the electric tulip 7, the probability of winning short is set very low (or not short winning), while the high probability gaming state is also the same. Even so, when the first starting port 6 is won, the probability that the gaming state is short hit is set to be relatively high.

  Here, “short win” means that the right to execute the short win game was acquired in the lottery in the big hit state performed on condition that the game ball entered the first start port 6 or the second start port 7a. A game state executed in a case. In such a “short win game state”, the round game in which the big winning opening 8 is opened is performed two times less than the “long win”, but in each round game, the big winning opening 8 is once. Only the opening time is set to 0.1 seconds.

  On the other hand, “long winning” means that a long winning game is obtained in a jackpot lottery performed on condition that a game ball has entered the first starting port 6 or the second starting port 7a. A game state executed in a case. In such a “long game state”, the round game in which the grand prize opening 8 is opened is performed 15 times in total, and the total opening time of the big prize opening 8 in each round game is set to a maximum of 30 seconds. During this time, when a predetermined number of game balls (for example, 9 balls) enter the grand prize winning opening 8, one round game is set to end.

  The symbol display unit 5 is composed of a liquid crystal display device or the like disposed substantially in the center of the game board 4 and can display a predetermined symbol, background, etc. on its screen and correspond to the first special symbol display means 10. The symbol (decorative symbol) corresponding to the (decorative symbol) or the second special symbol display means 11 can be variably displayed or stopped. Then, when a predetermined symbol is stopped and displayed (for example, the same symbol is stopped and displayed), a “hit state” occurs, and the big winning opening 8 is opened at a predetermined time and timing, so that a large number of game balls can be obtained. It is configured as follows.

  Here, in the present invention (including this embodiment), the decorative symbol corresponding to the first special symbol that is displayed in a variable manner or stopped on the symbol display unit 5 is also referred to as a “first special symbol” and is displayed as a symbol. The decorative symbol corresponding to the second special symbol that is displayed in a variable manner or stopped by the unit 5 is also referred to as a “second special symbol”. That is, the first special symbol that is changed or stopped by the first special symbol display means 10 and the second special symbol that is changed or stopped by the second special symbol display means 11 are displayed on the symbol display unit 5. Since there is a relationship that always corresponds to the decorative symbols that are changed or stopped, the names of the symbols are the same.

  In addition, when the symbol stopped and displayed on the symbol display unit 5 is a predetermined specific symbol (that is, the random value acquired when winning the first starting port 6 or the second starting port 7a of the electric tulip 7) When a special symbol predetermined according to (a jackpot random value) is stopped and displayed by the first special symbol display means 10 or the second special symbol display means 11), the probability of the jackpot occurrence is increased than usual. Benefits are given to players. That is, at the end of the jackpot state, the player is given a privilege that the next jackpot will occur with a high probability on the condition that the stop symbol that caused the jackpot state is a specific symbol. Thus, a gaming state in which a jackpot state occurs with a normal probability is referred to as a normal probability gaming state, and a gaming state in which a jackpot state occurs with a higher probability than the normal probability is referred to as a high probability gaming state.

  The first special symbol holding lamp 15 is variably displayed with symbols (first special symbol or second special symbol) on the symbol display section 5 (the same applies to the first special symbol display means 10 and the second special symbol display means 11). In the meantime, when a game ball wins at the first start opening 6, the predetermined number (four in this embodiment) is limited and the winning game balls are held as holding balls. Similarly, the second special symbol holding lamp 16 has a symbol (first special symbol or second special symbol) in the symbol display section 5 (the first special symbol display means 10 and the second special symbol display means 11 are also the same). When a game ball wins at the first start port 6 while the display is variably displayed, the winning game ball is held as a holding ball up to a predetermined number (four in this embodiment). .

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2, a main control board 17 and a sub control board 18 are disposed on the back surface of the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment. Among these, the sub control board 18 performs various controls based on the control signal transmitted from the main control board 17, and the effect control board 19 electrically connected to the symbol display unit 5, the speaker, etc. The lamp control board 20 is electrically connected to a lamp, a movable accessory, and the like, and the payout control board 21 is electrically connected to a payout drive motor and the like.

  The main control board 17 controls game contents throughout the pachinko gaming machine 1 and includes a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, and the like. The main board 17 includes the first special symbol display means 10, the second special symbol display means 11, the normal symbol display means 12, the first special symbol hold lamp 15 and the second special symbol hold lamp 16 described above, A start port SW for detecting a winning of a game ball to the first start port 6 and the second start port 7a, a solenoid of the electric tulip 7 for driving the electric tulip 7, and a passage of the game ball of the gate 9 are detected. For this purpose, a gate SW, a large winning opening SW for detecting the winning of a game ball to the large winning opening 8, a large winning opening solenoid for driving the large winning opening 8, and the like are electrically connected.

  Here, the main control board 17 according to the present embodiment determines a jackpot state or a loss that is advantageous to the player when the game ball is won at the starting port (the first starting port 6 and the second starting port 7a). Jackpot value data (random number value) for the purpose and the lottery means 22 for obtaining the effect numerical value data (random number value) for determining the effect form, and the start ports (the first start port 6 and the second start port 7a) There is a storage means 23 for storing numerical data (numerical data for jackpots and numerical data for effects) acquired as a trigger when the game ball has won a prize as hold data. In particular, the storage means 23 according to the present embodiment stores numerical data (numerical data for jackpots and numerical data for effects) acquired as a first hold data when a game ball wins a prize at the first start port 6. In addition, numerical data (numerical data for jackpots and numerical data for performance) acquired in response to the winning of a game ball at the second starting port 7a is stored as second reserved data.

  The effect control board 19 is configured to include a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, and the like, and performs various controls mainly related to effects based on a control signal transmitted from the main control board 17. The effect control board 19 is also electrically connected to the lamp control board 20 and, based on the control signal transmitted from the main control board 17, the decorative lamp, the movable accessory, etc. are transmitted via the lamp control board 20. It is configured to perform a predetermined effect by controlling.

  Here, the effect control board 19 according to the present embodiment includes a change display control means 24, a prior determination means 25, and an effect control means 26. The variable display control means 24 is a special symbol (strictly, a decorative symbol corresponding to the first special symbol or the second special symbol) in the display means (symbol display unit 5) based on the reserved data stored in the storage means 23. Is displayed in a variable manner. More specifically, the variable display control means 24 displays the first special symbol in a variable manner based on the first reserved data, displays the second special symbol in a variable manner based on the second reserved data, and displays the second special symbol. The change display is performed with priority over the change display of the first special symbol (so-called “priority change”).

  The pre-determining means 25 is newly stored from the special symbol variation display executed based on the other reserved data stored in the storage means 23 when the reserved data is newly stored in the storage means 23. Variations of special symbols executed over the display of the variation of special symbols executed based on the reserved data, or based on a plurality of already stored pending data not including the newly stored hold Whether or not to continuously execute the continuous related effects over the display is determined by determining the newly stored pending data. For example, as a pre-determining means 25, on the condition that the hold data stored in the storage means 23 is transmitted, a lottery for determining whether or not to obtain a random value based on the hold data and perform a continuous related effect is performed. There are things to do.

  The effect control means 26 performs the continuous related effects during the variable display of each special symbol on the condition that the prior determination means 25 has decided to execute the continuous related effects. That is, in the process in which the special display (the first special symbol or the second special symbol) is variably displayed on the symbol display unit 5 (display unit) based on the hold data by the variable display control unit 24, the advance determination unit 25 continuously When it is decided to execute the related effects, when the special symbols are sequentially displayed in a variably based on the plurality of reserved data stored in the storage means 23, the continuous and related effects (continuous related effects) at the time of each symbol change. ).

  Here, the continuous related effects performed by the effect control means 26 according to the present embodiment are effects in which effects are performed only during a partial period of each symbol variation in the variation display of a plurality of special symbols (mainly the first special symbol). One continuous related effect and a second continuous related effect in which the effect is performed over the entire period of each symbol variation in the variation display of a plurality of special symbols (mainly the first special symbol). It should be noted that the effects during the partial period that are performed during the variable display of each special symbol in the first continuous related effects, or the effects over the entire period that are performed during the variable display of each special symbol in the second continuous related effects are mutually If it is a continuous and related production, it should be the same or similar, or have narrative characteristics (such as those in which the story progresses continuously) or developability (such as the development or development of plants or animals). Also good.

  In the present embodiment, the first continuous related effect performed by the effect control means 26 is set to have a higher expectation level and a lower appearance rate than the second continuous related effect. . That is, in the first continuous related performance, the ratio selected when the jackpot state is derived is the first ratio, and the ratio selected when the jackpot state is not derived is the second ratio, In the case of the 2 consecutive related effects, the ratio selected when the jackpot state is derived is the third ratio, and the ratio selected when the jackpot state is not derived is the fourth ratio, The ratio is lower than the third ratio (that is, the degree of expectation of being a big hit state is low), and the second ratio is higher than the fourth ratio (that is, the appearance rate is high).

  For example, as an example of the first continuous related effect, as shown in FIG. 4, after the variable display of the first special symbol composed of three symbols is started (see FIG. 4A) in the symbol display unit 5. When the first symbol is stopped, an effect display simulating lightning (see (b) in the figure) is made, and then the second symbol is stopped (see (c)) and three There is an effect such that stop display of all symbols (special symbols) (see (d) in the same figure) is sequentially performed. In this case, in the variation display of the first special symbol, the effect display imitating lightning is performed only for a part of the symbol variation period.

  Then, as described above, each symbol variation display (T1, T2, T3 and T4) constituting the continuous related effect from the start (FIG. 4 (a)) to the stop display (FIG. 4 (d)) of the variation display of the first special symbol. ), And when the stage of the effect imitating lightning in the change display (T1 to T4) of each symbol (partial period of each symbol change) is E1, the first continuous related effect is as shown in FIG. In the process in which the variation displays T1 to T4 of a plurality of special symbols (first special symbols) are sequentially performed, the effect is performed only during a partial period E1 of each symbol variation.

  On the other hand, for example, as an example of the second continuous related effect, as shown in FIG. 6, in the symbol display unit 5, the first special symbol composed of three symbols is displayed (see FIG. 6A). Then, when the rainy background is displayed and then the first symbol is stopped (Fig. (B), the second symbol is stopped (Fig. (C) and all three symbols). In this case, the background effect display is the symbol in the variable display of the first special symbol when the special symbol is stopped and displayed (see (d) in the same figure). It will take place over the entire period of variation.

  Then, as described above, one symbol variation display (T1, T2, T3 and so on) constituting the continuous related effect from the start (FIG. 6 (a)) to the stop display (FIG. 6 (d)) of the variation display of the first special symbol. T4), and the period of the background effect (the total period of each symbol variation) in the variation display (T1 to T4) of each symbol is E2, the second continuous related effect has a plurality of effects as shown in FIG. In the process in which the variation displays T1 to T4 of the special symbol (first special symbol) are sequentially performed, the effect is performed over the entire period E2 of each symbol variation.

  Furthermore, the production control means 26 according to the present embodiment is a case where the second special symbol is preferentially variably displayed in the process of variably displaying the plurality of first special symbols, and the first continuous related effect is performed. In the case where the second special symbol is displayed, the second continuous related effect is performed without performing the effect corresponding to the first continuous related effect (the effect performed only during a part of the symbol variation) in the variation display of the second special symbol. In the case of the second special symbol variation, an effect corresponding to the second continuous related effect (an effect performed over the entire period of the symbol variation) is performed.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 5, after the variable display (T1 to T4) of a plurality of first special symbols constituting the first continuous related effect is set, the first variable display T1 of the first special symbol is stopped and displayed. (During the suspension of digestion) While the variation display T1 of the second first special symbol is being performed, the game ball is won at the second start port 7a and the second retention data is stored in the storage means 23. As shown in FIG. 8, the variation display Tα of the second special symbol based on the second reserved data is given priority over the variation display T3 of the first special symbol. At this time, in the variation display Tα of the second special symbol that is preferentially performed, an effect corresponding to the first continuous related effect (an effect such as lightning display performed for a part of each symbol variation display) is performed. There is no such thing.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7, after the variation display (T1 to T4) of the plurality of first special symbols constituting the second continuous related effect is set, the variation display T1 of the first first special symbol is set. The game ball is won at the second start port 7a and the second hold data is stored while the second change display T1 of the first special symbol is performed following the stop display (holding digestion). When stored in the means 23, as shown in FIG. 9, the variation display Tα of the second special symbol based on the second reserved data is given priority over the variation display T3 of the first special symbol. At this time, in the variation display Tα of the second special symbol that is given priority, an effect corresponding to the second continuous related effect (a so-called zone such as a rainy background display performed over the entire period of each symbol variation display) Production).

  On the other hand, when a so-called zone effect such as the second continuous effect is generated, the player has great expectations for the big hit, so that the player can play with interest without getting bored with the game. That is, if the second continuous related effect is being executed due to the variation of the first special symbol, the second continuous related effect has a higher third ratio and a lower fourth ratio than the first related effect. Therefore, the player will have great expectations at the time of occurrence. Further, since the effect is continuously displayed without interruption across a plurality of symbol variations, the degree of excitement of the player gradually increases as the number of consecutive times increases without interruption.

  In the meantime, if the fluctuation of the second special symbol, which is the priority fluctuation, has interrupted in the middle, the effect continuously performed across the fluctuation will be interrupted due to the influence of the priority fluctuation, and the excitement of the player will also be interrupted There is a risk that. For this reason, the second continuous related performance will affect the appearance rate of the number of consecutive times due to the priority variation of the second special symbol, but priority is given to not interrupting the player's interest, and the second continuous related performance. The priority variation of the second special symbol in the middle of is also set to execute an effect related to the second continuous related effect.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, when the number of reserved data is the first number of reserved among those for which the jackpot state is derived, the ratio of the number of reserved data is the fifth ratio, When the number is smaller than the first number of reservations, the fifth ratio is set in advance so that the fifth ratio is higher than the sixth ratio when the ratio of the big success through the first continuous related effects is set as the sixth ratio. ing. That is, when the number of pending data is larger (in the case of the first pending number), it becomes a big hit through the first continuous related effect than in the case where the number of the pending data is smaller (less than the first pending number). Since the ratio is set in advance so as to increase, the greater the number of consecutive times of the first continuous related effects, the higher the probability that it will be a big hit, and the player is expected.

  However, if priority variation is performed by the second special symbol in the middle of the first continuous related performance, the number of consecutive times increases, and the player has high expectations despite the fact that the ratio of jackpot is set low. A situation will occur, and the balance between the degree of expectation held by the player and the actual percentage of jackpots may be lost, which may reduce the interest of the player. On the other hand, the first continuous related effect is not a series of effects over a plurality of variations like the second continuous related effect, so when priority change is performed by the second special symbol on the way, Even if the effect corresponding to the first continuous related effect is not performed at the time of the priority change, and the first continuous related effect is performed again at the subsequent change, the player's interest is enhanced or reduced. The impact is low.

  Therefore, according to the present embodiment, when the first continuous related effect is performed, the effect corresponding to the first continuous related effect is not performed in the variable display of the second special symbol, so that the preset is set in advance. When the second consecutively related effect is being performed, an effect corresponding to the second consecutively related effect is performed in the second special symbol variation. By doing so, it is possible to place more emphasis on performance effects due to the continuity of the second continuous related performance than the balance.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, when the number of holds is 2, and the new hold data (second hold data) is a big hit, the second continuous relation is selected rather than selecting the first continuous relation effect. It is set in advance so that the ratio of selecting an effect increases. Thereby, since the possibility that the second continuous related effect is performed in the two continuous related effects increases, it is possible to give the player a big hit expectation with a small number of continuous related effects.

Next, the first ratio, the second ratio, the third ratio, and the fourth ratio according to the present embodiment will be specifically described.
For example, in the present embodiment, the first ratio (the ratio at which the first continuous related effect is selected when the big hit state is derived) is 2% when the number of holds is 2, and 6 when the number of holds is 3. % And the number of holdings are set to 20% in advance, and the second ratio (the ratio at which the first continuous related performance is selected when the big hit state is not derived) is set when the number of holdings is two When the number of reservations is 3, it is preset at 12.5%, and when the number of reservations is 4, it is preset at 33.3%.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the third ratio (the ratio at which the second continuous related effect is selected when the big hit state is derived) is 6% when the number of holds is 2, and 10 when the number of holds is 3. % And the number of holdings are set to 30% in advance, and the fourth rate (the rate at which the second continuous related effect is selected when the big hit state is not derived) is set when the number of holdings is 2 When the number of holdings is 3, it is preset at 13.3%, and when the number of holdings is 4, it is preset at 33.3%.

Furthermore, specific examples of the first continuous related effect and the second continuous related effect will be described.
For example, as shown in FIG. 10, three symbols are variably displayed (see FIG. 10A), only the left symbol is stopped (see FIG. 10B), and the left symbol and the central symbol are stopped and displayed (see FIG. 10). (See (c) in the figure), and after the symbols on the left, center, and right are stopped (see (d) in the figure), all the symbols are enlarged (see (e) in the figure) The display of FIG. 4E (the effect of finally increasing the symbol) constitutes the first continuous related effect.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 11, the movable accessory A is provided, and, for example, three symbols are variably displayed (see FIG. 11A), and only the left symbol is stopped and displayed (see FIG. 11B). After the left symbol and the central symbol are stopped and displayed (see (c) in the same figure), when the left symbol, the central symbol and the right symbol are stopped and displayed (in the same figure (d)), the movable accessory A operates. The movement of the movable accessory A constitutes the first continuous related effect. In addition, as shown in FIG. 12, while having movable accessory A, for example, three symbols were displayed in a variable manner (see FIG. 12A), and the left symbol and the right symbol were stopped and reached. At that time (see FIG. 5B), the movable accessory A may be operated, and the operation of the movable accessory A may constitute the first continuous related effect.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 13, when the second continuous related effect is performed, the display changes from a gently clear background display as shown in FIG. 13 (a) to a stormy background display as shown in FIG. 13 (b). As a specific example, the display of the background of the storm is performed over a plurality of variable displays. In this way, by changing the background during the variable display, it is possible to perform the second continuous related effect in which the effect is performed over the entire period of each symbol variation in the variation display of the number of special symbols.

  According to the present embodiment, the continuous related effects performed by the effect control means 26 include the first continuous related effects in which the effects are performed only during a partial period of each symbol variation in the variation display of the plurality of special symbols, and the plurality of special events. Since there is a second continuous related effect that is produced over the entire period of each symbol variation in the symbol variation display, two different continuous related effects can be selectively performed, and the effect by the continuous related effect The effect can be further enhanced.

  In addition, according to the present embodiment, when the second special symbol is variably displayed in the process of variably displaying the plurality of first special symbols, and the first continuous related effect is performed. Does not perform an effect corresponding to the first continuous related effect in the variation display of the second special symbol, and if the second continuous related effect is performed, the second continuous in the second special symbol variation When an effect corresponding to the related effect is performed, when the first continuous related effect is performed and when the second continuous related effect is performed, the variable display of the second special symbol is performed with priority. The production can be made different, and the production effect can be further enhanced.

  As mentioned above, although this embodiment was described, this invention is not limited to this, For example, a 1st continuous related effect shall be performed only for a part period of each symbol fluctuation | variation in the fluctuation | variation display of a some special symbol. In addition, it is sufficient that the second continuous related effect is performed over the entire period of each symbol variation in the variation display of a plurality of special symbols.

  Moreover, in the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, the first start port 6 and the second start port 7a are provided. However, a single start port may be provided, and in that case, the storage means 23 The reserved data stored in the above and the special symbol displayed in the symbol display unit 5 (including the first special symbol display means 11 and the second special symbol display means 12) are of a single type. Furthermore, the effects performed in a partial period of the first continuous related effects may be any immediately after the start, mid-stage, immediately before the stop in the variable display of each special symbol, or may be plural.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the effects performed during the partial period of the first continuous related effect and the effects performed during the entire period of the second continuous related effect are both displayed on the display means (the symbol display unit 5, Although it is performed by display on the first special symbol display means 10 and the second special symbol display means 11), the present invention is not limited to this, for example, the operation of the movable accessory (first continuous The related effects may be operated only for a part of the period, and the second continuous related effects may be operated for the entire period, etc.), blinking or lighting of a lamp, output from a speaker, or the like.

  The continuous related effects performed by the effect control means are the first continuous related effects in which the effects are performed only during a partial period of each symbol variation in the variation display of the plurality of special symbols, and the symbol variations in the variation display of the plurality of special symbols. A second continuous related effect that is produced over the entire period of time, the first continuous related effect and the second continuous related effect are selectively performed, and the first continuous related effect and the second The expectation level and appearance rate that are the big hit states of the continuous related effects are set to be different from each other, and the start port has the first start port and the second start port, and the storage means includes the first start Numerical data acquired when a game ball wins at the mouth is stored as first hold data, and numerical data acquired when a game ball wins at the second start port is stored as second hold data. Remember as The variable display control means variably displays the first special symbol based on the first reserved data, variably displays the second special symbol based on the second reserved data, and the second special symbol. The variable control display is given priority over the variable display of the first special symbol, and the effect control means preferentially displays the second special symbol in a variable manner in the process of variably displaying the first special symbols. In the case where the first continuous related effect is being performed, the second continuous related effect is not performed in the variable display of the second special symbol without performing the effect corresponding to the first continuous related effect. If it is performed, the second special symbol variation is configured to perform an effect corresponding to the second continuous related effect, and the first continuous related effect is selected when the jackpot state is derived. The ratio is the first If the jackpot state is not derived, the ratio selected when the jackpot state is not derived is the second ratio, and in the second continuous related performance, the ratio selected when the jackpot state is derived is the third ratio. And the ratio selected when the jackpot state is not derived is the fourth ratio, the first ratio is lower than the third ratio, and the second ratio is higher than the fourth ratio, When the number of pending data is the first pending number among those for which the jackpot status has been derived, the fifth percentage is the ratio of the big hit through the first continuous related effects, and the number of pending data is smaller than the first pending number If it is a gaming machine set in advance so that the fifth ratio is higher than the sixth ratio when the ratio of the big success through the first continuous related performance is the sixth ratio when the number is on hold, the appearance Different shape or others It can also be applied to those to which the above function is added.
