Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine provided with operation means that can be operated by a player.

  As described in the following Patent Document 1 and the like, a gaming machine including a plurality of types of operation means is known as an operation means that can be operated by a player used for production or the like.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2015-19952

  An object of the present invention is to improve the preference of performance using a plurality of types of operation means in a gaming machine provided with a plurality of types of operation means.

  A gaming machine according to the present invention made to solve the above-mentioned problems is a gaming machine provided with a plurality of types of operating means that can be operated by a player, and is at least one of the plurality of types of operating means. A second type operation means that is at least one of the plurality of operation means different from the first type operation means when a predetermined condition is satisfied in a first effect using a certain first type operation means; A series of operation effects in which the used second effect is executed can be executed, and the introduction image is set to be displayed at the start of the first effect, and the first effect is the first type operation When the means is operated, the introduction image is gradually replaced with the specific image, and a condition for shifting from the first effect to the second effect is the first effect in the first effect. The seed operation means is operated And wherein the specific image includes a portion representing the second type operating means it is to complete.

The gaming machine according to the present invention shifts to the second effect using the second type operation means when a predetermined condition is satisfied in the first effect using the first type operation means. In other words, the series of operation effects from the first effect to the second effect is not only a change in the effect (the video etc. change), but also the operation means used in the effect change, so the effect is simply Make it easier to understand that the production has changed (developed) compared to a configuration that only changes, and enhance the effect of improving the sense of expectation (for example, the expectation of success / failure) It becomes possible.
In addition, when the specific image including the portion representing the second type operation means is completed and the transition to the second effect is made, it is easy to understand that the second effect becomes an effect using the second type operation means. It is possible (to make the player understand the fact at the time of the first performance).

  According to the gaming machine according to the present invention, it is possible to improve the preference of performance using a plurality of types of operation means.

It is a front view of the gaming machine according to the present embodiment. It is the figure (the 1) for demonstrating an operation effect in order. FIG. 3 is a diagram (part 2 (continuation of FIG. 2)) for sequentially explaining operation effects; FIG. 4 is a diagram (part 3 (continuation of FIG. 3)) for sequentially explaining operation effects; It is a figure for demonstrating another operation effect different from the operation effect shown in FIGS. It is the figure (the 1) for demonstrating in order the operation effect concerning a modification. It is a figure (the 2 (continuation of FIG. 6)) for demonstrating the operation effect concerning a modification in order. It is a figure (the 3 (continuation of FIG. 7)) for demonstrating the operation effect concerning a modification in order.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of a gaming machine 1 according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. First, the overall configuration of the gaming machine 1 will be briefly described with reference to FIG.

  The gaming machine 1 includes a game board 90. The game board 90 is formed of a substantially square plywood, and a guide rail 903 that forms a path for guiding a game ball launched by operating the launching device 908 (launching handle) to the gaming area 902 has a substantially arc shape. It is provided as follows.

  In the game area 902, a display device 91, a start winning opening 904, a big winning opening 906, an out opening 907, and the like are provided. The display area 911 of the display device 91 is an area that can be viewed through an opening 901 formed in the game board 90. 2 to 8, the display area 911 is roughly described, but the shape and the like can be changed as appropriate (the shape and size of the opening 901 and the shape and size of the display device 91 itself are changed). Thus, the shape or the like of the display area 911 can be changed).

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

  In such a gaming machine 1, a game ball is launched toward the game area 902 by operating the launching device 908. When a game ball flowing down the game area 902 wins a winning opening such as the start winning opening 904 or the big winning opening 906, a predetermined number of winning balls are paid out by the payout device.

  Note that the description of the components of the gaming machine 1 that are not related to the present invention, such as the frame of the gaming machine 1, the lower plate and the upper plate for storing the game balls, is omitted. About these, the thing of the structure similar to a well-known game machine is applicable.

  The jackpot lottery is executed by a winning determination means provided on a control board (not shown) triggered by winning a game ball in the start winning opening 904 (a plurality of such starting winning openings may be provided). Specifically, a numerical value is acquired from a random number source when a game ball is won at the start winning opening 904, and when the numerical value is the same as a predetermined jackpot number, It will be off. The explanation is omitted because it is the same as a known game machine, but in the case of a big hit, the identification symbols (designs for notifying the result of the determination) are a predetermined combination (for example, a set of three identical symbols). If a combination other than that is displayed, it will be lost.

  The various effects including the operation effects described below may be determined based on the result of the actual success / failure determination, or determined based on the numerical value acquired from the random number source, not the result of the determination It may be configured to. In any case, since the presentation is determined based on the determination of success / failure (as seen from the player), the following description determines the determination based on the determination of success / failure. However, the present invention is not intended to exclude the configuration in which the effect is determined by the numerical value acquired from the random number source.

  The gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment can execute an operation effect using a plurality of types of operation means that can be operated by the player as a kind of effect that suggests whether or not the game is successful. Hereinafter, the operation effects will be described in detail. It should be noted that the operation effect may be any scene, timing, etc., as long as it is an effect that suggests whether or not the operation effect is present.

  In the present embodiment, first-type operation means 10 and second-type operation means 20 that can be operated by the player are provided as a plurality of types of operation means used for operation effects (see FIG. 1). In the present embodiment, the first type operation means 10 is a push button that can be pushed downward. The second type operation means is an operation unit that can be pushed into the back side. The first-type operation means 10 and the second-type operation means 20 may be any one that can be operated by the player and can be operated independently. Detailed description of the means is omitted. The first-type operation means 10 and the second-type operation means 20 may be capable of operations (for example, rotation operations) other than the pushing operation as described above. Moreover, it is good also as a structure by which the several operation means was set as the 1st type operation means 10 or the 2nd type operation means 20. FIG. For example, a plurality of push buttons may be provided, and any of the plurality of push buttons may function as the first-type operation unit 10 described below.

  The operation of each operation means is detected by a control means (control circuit formed on the control board) (not shown). At least in the operation effects described below, the operation of the first type operation means 10 and the operation of the second type operation means 20 are distinguished. However, in other effects including a mode in which operation means other than the operation effects are operated, a setting in which the operation of the first type operation means 10 and the operation of the second type operation means 20 are not distinguished (both operations are effective). Setting) may be made.

  In the operation effect, first, the first effect is executed. The first effect is an effect using the first type operation means 10. The first effect may be any effect as long as the first type operation means 10 is used, but the first effect in the present embodiment is an operation of the first type operation means 10 by the player (for example, , Repeated hits, long press, etc.) to complete the specific image 40.

  At the start of the first effect, the introductory image 30 is displayed (see FIG. 2A). The introduction image 30 is an image including a portion 31 representing the second type operation means 20 (not shown, but includes an image (for example, a background image) other than the portion 31 representing the second type operation means 20). May be). Note that the portion 31 representing the second type operation means 20 in the introduction image 30 only needs to be expressed to the extent that the player can recognize that the second type operation means 20 is indicated. That is, the second type operation means 20 may be a photorealistic representation or a slightly distorted representation (first type operation means 10 / second type in the following description). The same applies to a portion (image) representing the operation means 20). Along with the introduction image 30, a first instruction image 11 that prompts the user to operate the first type operation means 10 is displayed. For example, if the first-type operation unit 10 is pressed long, an image representing the first-type operation unit 10 and the first instruction image 11 including the characters “long press” are displayed.

  When the first type operation means 10 is operated by the player, an image is displayed such that the introductory image 30 is destroyed over time in the “long press” state. Specifically, an image is displayed such that a part of the introductory image 30 (hereinafter also referred to as a piece) is gradually removed (see FIGS. 2B and 3A). Each piece of the introductory image 30 includes a part of a portion 31 representing the second type operation means 20. That is, when a certain piece is removed, a part of the portion 31 representing the second type operation means 20 included in the piece is removed. As described above, the operation mode of the operation means is not limited to “long press”. For example, “continuous hitting” may be set as the operation mode, and an effect may be provided in which a portion of the introductory image 30 is gradually removed each time the first type operation means 10 is pressed.

  Here, in this embodiment, when a certain piece of the introduction image 30 is removed, the specific image 40 is displayed instead. The first effect assumes that the introductory image 30 is located on the near side of the specific image 40, and destroying the introductory image 30 exposes a part of the specific image 40 positioned behind the destroyed portion. It is an effect in which a series of videos (images) are displayed. Eventually, when all the introduced images 30 are destroyed and the entire specific image 40 existing behind them is exposed, the first effect is successful (see FIG. 3C). That is, in the first effect, a series of videos (images) in which the specific image 40 gradually increases as a part of the introduction image 30 is replaced with a part of the specific image 40 is displayed. Production.

  In the present embodiment, like the introduction image 30, the specific image 40 also includes a portion 41 representing the second type operation means 20 (not shown, but an image other than the portion 41 representing the second type operation means 20 ( For example, a background image or the like may be included). In addition, the portion 31 representing the second type operation means 20 in the introduction image 30 and the portion 41 representing the second type operation means 20 in the specific image 40 overlap (as it is assumed that they overlap in terms of production). It is considered to be a setting. Accordingly, when a certain piece of the introduction image 30 is removed, a part of the second type operation means 20 included in the piece is also removed, but instead, a part of the specific image 40 displayed (exposed) is displayed. Includes a part of a portion 41 representing the same type 2 operation means 20 as the shape removed as a part of the introduction image 30. In other words, even when a part of the introduction image 30 is removed, the part 31 of the second type operation means 20 represented by the remaining introduction image 30 and the exposed specific image 40 represent the first part. A part 41 of the two-type operation means 20 is combined (the outline of the second-type operation means 20 represented by the introduction image 30 matches the outline of the second-type operation means 20 represented by the specific image 40), and the second The state where the whole seed | species operation means 20 was represented will be maintained (refer FIG.2 (b) and Fig.3 (a)).

In the present embodiment, the second type operation unit 20 represented by the specific image 40 is clearer than the second type operation unit 20 represented by the introduction image 30. Various methods for setting the difference in “clarity” can be considered. For example,
The second type operation unit 20 represented by the introduction image 30 is displayed in black and white, and the second type operation unit 20 represented by the specific image 40 is displayed in color. The image resolution of the second type operation unit 20 represented by the introduction image 30 Therefore, the resolution of the image of the second type operation unit 20 represented by the specific image 40 is increased. The brightness of the image of the second type operation unit 20 represented by the introduction image 30 is higher than the first level represented by the specific image 40. Various methods such as increasing the brightness of the image of the two-type operation means 20 can be considered.
Further, a difference in “clarity” may be set for the entire introduced image 30 and the entire specific image 40, or a difference in “clarity” may be set only for the portions 31 and 41 representing the second type operation means 20. Good. In the present embodiment, the entire introductory image 30 is darker than the entire specific image 40 (a difference in brightness is set) so that the two can be distinguished.

  Therefore, a part of the introductory image 30 is removed, and a part 31 of the second type operation unit 20 represented by the remaining introductory image 30 and a part 41 of the second type operation unit 20 represented by the exposed specific image 40. Even when the whole of the second type operation means 20 is represented by combining the above, there is a clear “clearness” difference between one part and another part. At present, it is possible to easily grasp to what extent the introduction image 30 has been replaced with the specific image 40. In addition, while the unclear second type operation means 20 is displayed (because the entire clear second operation means 20 is not displayed), the player cannot operate the second type operation means 20 as well. Since it is configured so that it can be seen, the first type operation means 10 is operated in order to make the operation of the second type operation means 20 effective. And since it becomes the structure which recognizes easily that operation of the 2nd type operation means 20 becomes effective when the whole clear 2nd type operation means 20 is displayed, it is the 1st type operation means 10 and the 1st type. It is possible to improve the willingness to operate the two-type operation means 20.

  Finally, when the entire introductory image 30 is replaced with the specific image 40, the first effect is successful and the second effect is transferred (see FIG. 3C). On the other hand, when the specific image 40 is not completed, it becomes a failure (see FIG. 3B), and the operation effect ends without shifting to the second effect. In the present embodiment, the introduction image 30 and the specific image 40 that replaces the introduction image 30 are displayed in the entire display area 911 of the display device 91. However, the introduction image 30 and the specific image 40 that replaces the introduction image 30 are displayed in a part of the display area 911. May be displayed. In each figure, images (background images, etc.) other than the portions 31 and 41 representing the operating means in the introduction image 30 and the specific image 40 are omitted.

  Any method may be used for determining whether or not the first production is successful and the second production is transferred. Since the operation effect according to the present embodiment suggests the determination of success / failure, the determination is made based on the determination of success / failure. Specifically, when the success / failure determination is a big hit, the second effect described later is a successful effect, so the process always shifts to the second effect. On the other hand, when the determination is wrong, the first effect ends in failure, and the operation effect may end without shifting to the second effect, or the second effect fails after shifting to the second effect. Sometimes it ends in. Whether or not the first effect is successful (probability that a predetermined condition for shifting to the second effect is satisfied) may be set as appropriate. In this embodiment, when it is determined to shift to the second effect, the player does not operate the first-type operation means 10 at all during the first effect or the operation is not performed regardless of whether or not Even when it is insufficient, the specific image 40 is compulsorily completed (all the introduced images 30 are removed), and it is set to shift to the second effect. However, there is no big difference for the player even if it fails in the first production or in the second production, so the success or failure of the final production (success or failure of the second production) is set to failure. If it should be, it may be determined whether or not to shift to the second effect depending on the operation status of the first type operation means 10 in the first effect. For example, when the first-type operation means 10 is used as an effect mode of the first effect, each time the first-type operation means 10 is operated, whether or not the introductory image 30 is destroyed is drawn with a predetermined probability. It is good also as an aspect which transfers to 2nd production, when all the introductory images 30 are destroyed by the said lottery. In addition, during the first production, if the player did not operate the first type operation means 10 at all, the first production was finished as it was and the production scheduled to be executed after the operation production was executed or not operated. A configuration in which an effect prepared in response to (when the operation is insufficient) may be executed.

  The second effect is an effect using the second type operation means 20. The second effect may be any effect as long as it is an effect using the second type operation means 20, but the second effect in the present embodiment is an operation of the player on the second type operation means 20 (for example, If the success image is displayed by performing a single push, continuous hit, long press, etc., the production is successful (it will be confirmed in this embodiment), and if the failure image is displayed, the production is a production failure. It is.

  Since the second effect is an effect that shifts when the specific image 40 is completed in the first effect, the display indicating the first type operation means 10 disappears, and the second type operation means 20 is displayed at the start of the second effect. The specific image 40 including the represented portion 41 remains as it is. An image that prompts the user to operate the second type operation means 20 in addition to the specific image 40 is displayed. For example, if the second type operation means 20 is pressed once, an image including the characters “press” is displayed. That is, the player recognizes that the second type operation unit 20 should be operated by the portion 41 representing the second type operation unit 20 in the specific image 40 and the second instruction image 21 including the character. (See FIG. 4A).

  A success image (see FIG. 4B) or a failure image (when the operation of the second type operation means 20 is detected within the time when the operation of the second type operation means 20 in the second effect is valid). 4C) is displayed. Whether the success image is displayed or the failure image is displayed is determined in advance based on whether or not the determination is successful. In the present embodiment, a success image is displayed when the success / failure determination is a big hit, and a failure image is displayed when the determination is wrong.

  As described above, the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment uses the second type operation unit 20 when the predetermined condition is established in the first type operation unit 10 using the first type operation unit 10. It is intended to move to. In other words, the series of operation effects from the first effect to the second effect is not only a change in the effect (the video etc. change), but also the operation means used in the effect change, so the effect is simply Make it easier to understand that the production has changed (developed) compared to a configuration that only changes, and enhance the effect of improving the sense of expectation (for example, the expectation of success / failure) It becomes possible.

  Moreover, since it is the structure which transfers to a 2nd production by completing the specific image 40 containing the part 41 showing the 2nd type operation means 20 in a 1st production, a 2nd production uses the 2nd type operation means 20. It is possible to make it easy to understand the effect that was made (to make the player understand the fact at the time of the first effect). Further, as in this embodiment, the specific image 40 including the portion 41 representing the second type operation means 20 (the specific image 40 completed in the first effect) is used as it is in the second effect. It can also be used as at least part of the second instruction image 21 that prompts the user to operate.

  Further, the second type operation means 20 represented by the specific image 40 is clearer than the second type operation means 20 represented by the introduction image 30, and as the introduction image 30 is replaced with the specific image 40, the second type operation means 20 is expressed. Since the seed operation unit 20 is configured to be clear, it is possible to clarify the process in which the second type operation unit 20 is approaching completion during the first performance.

  In addition, even when the introduction image 30 is being replaced by the specific image 40, the second type operation unit 20 is represented by combining the introduction image 30 and the specific image 40. Even in the middle stage of one production, it becomes easy to understand that the completion of the second type operation means 20 by the specific image 40 is the target of the first production, and the first type operation means 10 during the first production is easily understood. It is possible to prompt the operation.

  The gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment may generate another operation effect (corresponding to a predetermined effect in the present invention) different from the above operation effect. The another operation effect is an effect of operating any one of a plurality of types of operation means. Another operation effect in the present embodiment is a part of a so-called reach effect for informing the success / failure determination, and may occur immediately before informing the success or failure of the reach effect.

  The contents (contents executed in the state shown in FIG. 5A) up to another operation effect in the reach effect may be anything. The contents may always be the same, or may differ depending on the so-called jackpot reliability. In another operation effect, there is a case where an instruction to operate the first type operation means 10 is issued (see FIG. 5B), and an instruction to operate the second type operation means 20 is issued (FIG. 5 ( c)). The probability that the reach effect will be successful is higher when an instruction to operate the second type operation means 20 is issued than when an instruction to operate the first type operation means 10 is issued. Is set to That is, the probability that the progress of the game after the reach effect will be advantageous to the player is set high. Since the success or failure of the reach effect is determined in advance based on the determination as to whether or not the reach is successful, the success or failure of the reach effect is not affected even if the operation means is not operated. That is, it is important for the player which operation means the “instruction” is intended to operate.

  That is, in this reach production, the second type operation means 20 is more valuable to the player than the first type operation means 10. Therefore, a player who has experienced this reach production multiple times can recognize that the second type operation means 20 is more valuable than the first kind operation means 10 based on the reach reach. (It is possible to make the player think that the second type operation means 20 is more valuable.) Therefore, it is possible to further enhance the expectation improvement effect in the operation effect.

  In addition, when the instruction | indication which operates such a 1st type operation means 10 may be given, and there may be the case where the instruction | indication which operates the 2nd type operation means 20 is given multiple, all of those are set. Therefore, it is desirable to set the second type operation means 20 to have a higher value for the player than the first type operation means 10. Even if there is a reverse setting, that is, when there is an effect in which the first type operation means 10 is set to be more valuable to the player than the second type operation means 20, the reverse setting is made. The production frequency of the production is preferably set lower than the production frequency of the production set so that the second type operation means 20 has a higher value for the player than the first type operation means 10.

  Hereinafter, a modified example of the operation effect in the embodiment (operation effect according to the modification) will be described with a focus on differences from the operation effect.

  The operation effect in the above embodiment has been described that the introductory image 30 displayed in the first effect includes the portion 31 representing the second type operation means 20, but the introductory image 50 in the operation effect according to the modified example is A portion 51 representing the first type operation means 10 is included (see FIG. 6A). The specific image 40 includes a portion 41 representing the second type operation means 20, and is the same as the operation effect in the embodiment.

  The first effect is an effect using the first type operation means 10, and the introductory image 50 including the portion 51 representing the first type operation means 10 includes a portion 41 representing the second type operation means 20. This is an effect that gradually replaces the specific image 40 (see FIGS. 6B and 7A). Since the introductory image 50 displayed in the first effect includes the portion 51 representing the first type operation means 10, the display of the first type operation means 10 is used (the operation content is indicated together with the display). The operation of the first type operation means 10 may be prompted by displaying characters or the like. When the specific image 40 is completed by the first effect, that is, when the first effect is successful, the point of shifting to the “second effect using the second type operation means 20” is the same as the operation effect in the above embodiment. (See FIG. 7C and FIG. 8B).

  On the other hand, when the specific image 40 is not completed in the first effect, that is, when at least a part of the introductory image 50 (piece) remains (see FIG. 7B), the first type operation means 10 is used. Transition to the third production used. In this modification, even if a part of the introductory image 50 is replaced with the specific image 40 in the first effect, the introductory image 50 is restored in the third effect (a video (image) as if it was restored is displayed). ) Then, using the fact that the first type operation means 10 is represented in the restored introduction image 50, an instruction image that prompts the user to operate the first type operation means 10 is displayed. That is, in the third effect, it is indicated that the first type operation unit 10 should be operated by combining the portion 51 representing the first type operation unit 10 of the introduction image 50 and the character image such as “press”. To do. When the first type operation means 10 is operated, a display showing the result of the operation effect (success effect or failure effect) is performed (see FIG. 8A).

  In this example, when the operation effect from the first effect to the second effect is a successful effect (first case 1), the operation effect from the first effect to the third effect is a successful effect (second In any case, it is determined that the determination of success / failure is a big hit. However, it is desirable that various differences are set for both.

  For example, the probability (probability) that the result of the effect becomes a successful effect when the second effect (first case) occurs, and the result of the effect when the third effect (second case) occurs. It is conceivable to vary the probability (probability) that will be a successful performance. In this way, since the player wishes that the first effect is successful and shifts to the second effect, the degree of attention to the first effect can be improved. It is good also as a setting which confirms success, when it transfers to a 2nd production.

  Also, when the jackpot is won through the second performance (first case) and when the jackpot is won through the third performance (second case), the jackpot is more advantageous for the player. It is conceivable to set the probability to be different. For example, when multiple types of jackpots are set with different expected values for the number of game balls that can be obtained by jackpot game (so-called “balls”), the first case wins the jackpot in the second case. The probability of winning a jackpot where the expected value of the number of game balls that can be acquired is greater than that in the case where the jackpot is won is set higher. Also, if you win the jackpot in the first case, you win the jackpot where the game state that will transition after the jackpot game will be more advantageous to the player than if you win the jackpot in the second case You may set so that probability is high. The game state that is advantageous to the player is a so-called probability variation state that has a higher probability of winning a big win than the normal state, and a lottery determination lottery more easily than the normal state (the game ball is placed in the winning opening that triggers the big win lottery) A so-called time reduction state that is a state in which winning is easy) can be exemplified.

  As described above, the operation effect according to this modification is based on the assumption that the introductory image 50 includes the portion 51 representing the first type operation means 10 and the specific image 40 includes the second type operation means 20. When the specific image 40 is not completed, the third effect using the first type operation means 10 is executed. As a result, it becomes easy to understand that the first effect is an effect indicating whether or not the operation means to be used is shifted to the second effect that changes (the operation means to be used is shifted to the third effect) or not. In this case, the production using the first type operation means 10 continues as it is (in the third production, the operation of the first type operation means 10 is urged using the introduction image 50 remaining without being completely destroyed). It is possible to produce a highly-oriented production.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment (and its modification) of this invention was described in detail, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment at all, and various modification | change is possible in the range which does not deviate from the summary of this invention. is there.

  For example, the various images in the above description are not only a still image but also a concept including a moving image having movement (change) at least in part.

  In the above embodiment, the result of successful operation presentation is a big hit, but it is executed as an opportunity to reach reach, drive a drive, develop into a high expectation stage, etc. There may be no particular limitation.

Specific means (game machines) obtained from the above embodiment are listed below.
The gaming machine according to means 1 is a gaming machine comprising a plurality of operation means that can be operated by a player, and uses a first type operation means that is at least one of the plurality of operation means. A series of executions of a second effect using a second type operation means that is at least one of the plurality of operation means different from the first type operation means when a predetermined condition is established in the effect An operation effect can be executed.
The gaming machine according to the means 1 shifts to the second effect using the second type operation means when a predetermined condition is satisfied in the first effect using the first type operation means. In other words, the series of operation effects from the first effect to the second effect is not only a change in the effect (the video etc. change), but also the operation means used in the effect change, so the effect is simply Make it easier to understand that the production has changed (developed) compared to a configuration that only changes, and enhance the effect of improving the sense of expectation (for example, the expectation of success / failure) It becomes possible.
The gaming machine according to means 2 is the gaming machine according to means 1, wherein in a predetermined effect that causes any one of the plurality of types of operating means to be operated, the player is instructed to operate the first type operating means. It is set so that the probability that the progress of the game after the production will be advantageous to the player is higher when the instruction is given to the player to operate the second type operation means than when it is issued. It is characterized by.
When the operation instruction for the second type operation means is issued in the predetermined effect (the effect other than the operation effect) as in the case of the gaming machine according to the means 2, than when the operation instruction for the first type operation means is issued. However, if the progress of the game after the production is advantageous to the player (for example, the probability that the determination of success / failure is true) will be higher for the player than the first type operation means. Since it is possible to recognize from the predetermined effect that the seed operation means has a higher value, it is possible to further enhance the expectation improvement effect in the operation effect.
The gaming machine according to means 3 is the gaming machine according to means 1 or 2, wherein the first type operation means is operated in the first effect when the condition for shifting from the first effect to the second effect is satisfied. Thus, a specific image including a portion representing the second type operation means is completed.
The gaming machine according to means 4 is set such that an introduction image is displayed at the start of the first effect in the gaming machine according to means 3, and the first effect is determined by the first type operation means. By being operated, the introduced image is gradually replaced with the specific image.
If a specific image including a portion representing the second type operation means is completed as in the gaming machine according to the means 3 and 4, the second effect changes the second type operation means. It is possible to make it easy to understand the effect that is used (the fact that the player understands the fact at the time of the first effect).
The gaming machine according to means 5 is the gaming machine according to means 4, wherein the introduction image includes a part representing the second type operation means, and is more than the second kind operation means represented by the introduction image. The second type operation means represented by the specific image is clearer.
If the gaming machine according to the means 5 is used, the second type operation means becomes clear as the introduction image is replaced with the specific image. It is possible to clarify the process of approaching completion.
The gaming machine according to means 6 is the gaming machine according to means 5, wherein the introduction image and the specific image in a state where a part of the introduction image is replaced with a part of the specific image during the first presentation. By combining the two, the second type operation means is expressed.
If the second type operation means is represented by combining the introduction image and the specific image while the introduction image is being replaced with the specific image, as in the gaming machine according to the means 6, the first effect can be obtained. Even in the middle stage, it becomes easy to understand that the completion of the second type operation means with the specific image is the goal of the first production, and it is possible to prompt the operation of the first type operation means during the first production It becomes.
The gaming machine according to means 7 is the gaming machine according to means 4, wherein the introduction image includes a portion representing the first type operation means, and the specific image is not completed in the first effect, When at least a part of the introduction image remains, a third effect using the first type operation means is executed.
When the specific image is not completed after the introduction image includes the portion representing the first type operation means and the specific image includes the second type operation means as in the gaming machine according to the means 7 By making the third effect using the first type operation means executed, it is understood that the first effect is an effect as to whether or not to change the operation means to be used (shift to the second effect). In addition to being easy, in the case of failure, it is possible to provide a highly-oriented production in which the production using the first type operation means continues as it is.
