Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine.

  As described in the following Patent Document 1 and the like, in many pachinko gaming machines, the determination of success / failure is executed by winning a predetermined winning opening game ball. Information used to determine whether or not the game ball is won is acquired according to the winning timing of the game ball. Depending on the gaming machine, the information (holding information) used for the determination of the success / failure is stored with a predetermined number as an upper limit.

Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2015-173873

  The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a gaming machine capable of improving the preference of performance using the hold information.

  A gaming machine according to the present invention made to solve the above-mentioned problems is a storage means capable of storing a plurality of hold information, which is information relating to the determination of success / failure, and one of the hold information stored in the storage means After suggesting or notifying that the success / failure determination result corresponding to the previous hold information is a win, before the winning game corresponding to the previous hold information is executed, at least after the previous hold information And an effect execution means capable of executing an after-effect that suggests or notifies the determination result corresponding to the subsequent hold information that is one hold information.

  According to the above gaming machine according to the present invention, after it is suggested or notified that the determination result corresponding to the previous holding information is a win, the subsequent holding information is checked before the winning game is executed. Since the determination result is suggested or notified, it is possible to execute a highly interesting effect that a plurality of hits may be suggested or notified at a time.

  The effect execution means executes a collective suggestion effect that suggests or notifies a player of the determination result corresponding to two or more consecutive hold information among the hold information stored in the storage means. The batch suggestion effect corresponds to the previous hold information that is one of the two or more hold information that is the target and is other than the hold information that is finally notified of the determination result. After the suggestion / notification that the result of the determination of success / failure is successful, there is a possibility that the post-effects may be executed for the subsequent hold information which is at least one hold information after the previous hold information. It is characterized by being.

  The post-effects as described above suggest that in the collective suggestion effect, the success / failure determination result corresponding to the previous hold information that is one of the hold information other than the hold information that is finally notified of the success / failure determination result is hit or It is possible to set so that it may occur after the notification. As a result, it is possible to produce an unprecedented occurrence of a situation that is extremely pleasing to the player, after the fact that the winning is suggested or notified, and further that the winning is suggested or notified. .

  As the winning game to be executed when the determination result is successful, a plurality of types of winning games having different profits that can be enjoyed by the player are set, and in the post-effect, it corresponds to the subsequent holding information. There is a possibility that an effect that indicates or changes the type of the winning game with respect to the previous holding information that has been suggested or notified that the winning will be performed may be executed together with an effect that suggests or notifies the determination result of whether or not to win It is characterized by.

  In this way, if the winning determination result corresponding to the subsequent hold information is suggested or notified together with the effect that the type of the winning game is indicated or changed while the winning is suggested or notified, It is possible to produce an unprecedented highly-oriented production in which the type of game and the determination result corresponding to subsequent hold information are shown at a time.

  According to the gaming machine according to the present invention, it is possible to improve the preference of performance using the hold information.

It is a front view of the gaming machine according to the present embodiment. (A) is a list of identification symbols, and (b) shows a variation of identification symbols (identification symbol group). In a collective suggestion effect, it is the figure which showed the state by which the display area was divided into the some division area. It is the figure which showed the flow of the collective suggestion production until a special symbol is displayed. It is the figure which showed an example of the special symbol displayed when the holding information used as the object of collective suggestion is three. It is the figure which showed the 1st production example (both the previous success / failure determination result and the subsequent success / failure determination result are out of date) of the collective suggestion effect. It is the figure which showed the 2nd production example (The previous success / failure determination result is lost and the subsequent success / failure determination result is a big hit) of the collective suggestion effect. It is the figure which showed the 3rd production example (The previous success / failure determination result is a big hit, and the subsequent success / failure determination result is lost) of the collective suggestion effect. It is the figure which showed the 4th production example (both the previous determination result and the subsequent determination result are big hits) of the collective suggestion effect. It is the figure which showed an example of the post facto effect in the case where the holding information used as the object of the collective suggestion effect is three. It is the figure which showed the example of a display of the continuation count (temporary continuation count) of a specific game state. It is the figure which showed the example of a display in the case of showing the continuation count (temporary continuation count) of a specific game state together with the continuation count of the time shortening game after that. It is the figure which showed the example of a display in the case of showing the continuation count (temporary continuation count) of a specific game state by a countdown system. It is the figure which showed an example of the structure maintained until a pending | holding information is newly acquired, without a collective suggestion effect being complete | finished. It is the figure (the 1) for demonstrating the relationship between generation | occurrence | production of collective suggestion production | generation (which hold information is used to generate collective suggestion production | presentation) and the success or failure of hold information. It is the figure (the 2) for demonstrating the relationship between generation | occurrence | production of collective suggestion production | generation (which hold information is used to generate collective suggestion production | presentation), and the success or failure of hold information. It is the figure (the 1) for demonstrating setting the collective suggestion effect for two hold information using the hold information acquired in the future after a specific game state is started. It is the figure (the 2) for demonstrating setting the collective suggestion effect for three hold information using the hold information acquired in the future after a specific game state is started.

  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 start winning opening 904, a big winning opening 906, an out opening 907, and the like are provided. A display area 911 of the display device 91 is an area that is visible through an opening 901 formed in the game board 90. 2 to 14, 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 can be changed). The shape and the like of the display area 911 can be changed with (

  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 (win / no-go determination) is executed by a win / no-go determining means provided on a control board (not shown) triggered by winning a game ball in the start winning opening 92 (as described later in the fourth specific example). A plurality of start winning ports 92 may be provided). Specifically, a numerical value is acquired from a random number source when a game ball wins the start winning opening 92, and if the numerical value is the same as a predetermined jackpot number, It will be out of place. When the jackpot is won, a jackpot game (special game) is executed. The jackpot game is a game in which the big winning opening 906 is frequently opened, and the player can acquire a lot of game balls (so-called game balls). Is omitted. A plurality of types of jackpot games having different expected values of game balls that can be acquired may be set.

  Further, in the present embodiment, notification of the success / failure determination result is started in the order in which the numerical values for the determination of success / failure (hereinafter also referred to as holding information) are acquired, but a certain numerical value is acquired. Sometimes, when the determination result based on the numerical value acquired before that is informed, the memory provided on the control board (not shown) until the notification of the appropriateness determination result based on the certain numerical value is started. Stored in the means. The maximum storage number (maximum number of holds) of the hold information for which notification of the determination result is not yet started can be set as appropriate. The maximum number of hold information that can be stored by the storage means in the present embodiment is four per kind of start winning opening 92.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, it will be judged whether the acquired numerical value (holding information) is a numerical value which becomes a big hit at the time of alerting | reporting of a success / failure determination result. That is, it is determined whether or not the target determination result is a big hit or a difference when the effect for notifying the determination result (variable display of the identification symbol 10) is started. The information (hereinafter also referred to as changing information) is a so-called “flag” for internally grasping the success or failure of the jackpot, and is stored in the storage unit together with the hold information (in this embodiment, The storage means for storing the hold information and the changing information is the same, but the information may be stored in different storage means). In addition, when a certain numerical value (holding information) is acquired, whether or not the determination result based on the numerical value acquired before that is informed, whether or not it is determined based on the acquired numerical value, It may be configured to store the corresponding determination result itself. In the case of such a configuration, the stored determination result itself corresponds to the changing information and the holding information (that is, the changing information may be regarded as a kind of holding information).

  The numerical value (holding information) acquired for determining the determination result is also used as a numerical value for determining the specific content of the effect that notifies the determination result.

  In addition, although not specifically illustrated, a holding symbol that is a mark corresponding to each holding information may be displayed in the display area 911 of the display device 91 or the like. For example, the hold symbols are displayed in the display area 911 of the display device 91 so that the hold information is arranged in the order of acquisition.

  In the present embodiment, the player is notified of the result of the success / failure determination by the combination of the identification symbols 10 displayed in the display area 911 of the display device 91. The identification symbol 10 starts to fluctuate with the start of notification of the determination result. As shown in FIG. 2A, a plurality of types are set as the identification symbol 10. The identification symbol 10 in the present embodiment is a symbol including a part representing any number (character) from “1” to “9”. That is, nine types of symbols are set as the identification symbols 10. These identification symbols 10 may be a combination of a part representing each character and a character. In each figure, only the character portion is shown. Further, the identification symbol 10 may be any symbol as long as it is a symbol for suggesting or notifying the player of the determination result. That is, the identification symbol 10 may be a definite determination result, a jackpot type, or the like, or may be a formally indicated. For example, the identification symbol 10 may be a formal symbol, and a symbol, a lamp, or the like (so-called main symbol) indicating the actual determination result or the type of jackpot may be set separately.

  Such nine kinds of identification symbols 10 are variably displayed as a group of identification symbols. Note that any one of the identification symbols 10 is not displayed at the start of a series of effects for notifying the determination result (not displayed at the start of variation), and is displayed during a series of effects for notifying the determination result. The symbol may be additionally displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 2B, in the present embodiment, basically, three such identification symbol groups are displayed in a variable manner (hereinafter, the identification symbol group displayed on the left side is the left identification symbol group 10L, the center The identification symbol displayed on the right side may be referred to as the middle identification symbol group 10C, and the identification symbol group displayed on the right side may be referred to as the right identification symbol group 10R), and any one identification symbol 10 selected from each group Stop. That is, finally, a combination composed of three identification symbols 10 is displayed. If the jackpot is won, the identification symbol 10 finally stops in a predetermined combination. As the predetermined combination, a triple of the same identification symbols 10 can be exemplified. If it is out of place, the identification symbol 10 stops in a combination other than the combination that is a big hit. Combinations other than the big hits or out of order (for example, combinations showing so-called small hits) may be set.

  The identification symbol 10 in the present embodiment is divided into a first type identification symbol 11, a second type identification symbol 12, and a third type identification symbol 13 (see FIG. 2A). The first type identification symbol 11 is a symbol including “7”, the second type identification symbol 12 is a symbol including an odd number other than “7”, and the third type identification symbol 13 includes an even number. It is a design. It is shown that the profit (expected value of profit) that the player enjoys by winning the jackpot is a big hit in the triple of the first type identification symbols 11 (the triple of symbols including “7”). The case is set to be the smallest, and the case where it is shown that the third kind identification symbol 13 is a big hit in the three-piece set of the third type identification symbols 13 is set to be the smallest. In the present embodiment, the expected value of a game ball (so-called game ball) that can be acquired by a jackpot game is set so as to differ from the first type jackpot to the third kind jackpot.

  The gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment can execute a “collective suggestion effect” as an aspect of an effect for informing the success / failure determination result of the jackpot. On the board for effect control not shown, effect execution means for executing the collective suggestion effect by controlling the display device 91 and the like, and the effect setting for determining at what timing the collective suggestion effect is executed, etc. Means (circuits) are provided.

  In the present embodiment, there is a possibility that a collective suggestion effect occurs during the specific game state described in detail below. However, it may be set so that a collective suggestion effect may occur during a gaming state other than the specific gaming state. For example, a plurality of gaming states in which a collective suggestion may occur may be set, or the gaming state may not be limited to a predetermined gaming state.

  The specific gaming state (also referred to as ST or the like) is a state in which the probability of winning a jackpot is higher than in a normal gaming state. In the present embodiment, the jackpot probability in the normal gaming state (low probability state) is set to about 1/99, and the jackpot probability in the specific gaming state (high probability state) is set to about 1/5. The conditions for entering the specific gaming state may be any. In the present embodiment, the game is set to enter a specific game state after all jackpot games are completed. The specific gaming state ends when the determination of whether or not the game is lost is continuously executed a predetermined number of times. In other words, if a big win is won before a predetermined number of hit / no-go decisions are made, the player enters the specific game state again. In the present embodiment, the specific gaming state is ended when the determination of whether or not to win is executed six times. That is, the determination of success / failure with a higher probability than the determination of success / failure in the normal gaming state is performed six times, and the specific gaming state is ended when all are lost.

  The batch suggestion effect is a batch of the determination results corresponding to two or more pieces of hold information that are continuous (in the order in which the hold information is acquired in this embodiment). Then, it is suggested or notified to the player (what is not displayed deterministically is suggested and what is displayed definitely is referred to as notification. Hereinafter, it may be simply referred to as a notification including the suggested modes). In other words, it can be said that there is no delimiter (image switching or the like) between the effects that notify the success / failure determination result corresponding to each of the continuous hold information. The collective suggestion effect in the present embodiment collectively notifies the determination result corresponding to two consecutive pieces of hold information.

  It is decided to execute a collective suggestion effect on two target hold information (among these, hold information acquired earlier is called previous hold information and hold information acquired later is called later hold information), When it is time to start the effect of notifying the success / failure determination result corresponding to the previous hold information (when all the determination results of the hold information prior to the previous hold information are notified) Suggestion production starts. As shown in FIG. 3, in the collective suggestion effect, the display area 911 of the display device 91 is divided into a plurality of divided regions that are targets of the collective suggestion effect. In the present embodiment, a dividing line 911L that substantially bisects the display area 911 (if the player can recognize that the game area 902 is divided, any mode is possible). Good) is displayed, and the upper side of the dividing line 911L is set as the upper divided display area 911a, and the lower side of the dividing line 911L is set as the lower divided display area 911b.

  The upper divided display area 911a is an area for notifying the success / failure determination result (hereinafter also referred to as the previous success / failure determination result) corresponding to the previous hold information. That is, the identification symbol 10 for informing the previous determination result is displayed. The lower divided display area 911b is an area for notifying a determination result (hereinafter, also referred to as a subsequent determination result) corresponding to the subsequent hold information. That is, the identification symbol 10 for informing the subsequent determination result is displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 4, in the present embodiment, first, an identification symbol group for notifying the previous determination result is variably displayed in the upper divided display area 911a. In addition, an identification symbol group for notifying the subsequent determination result is displayed in the lower divided display area 911b (see FIG. 4A). Then, in any divided display area, the variation of a part of the identification symbol group is stopped in a manner indicating a so-called reach state. In the present embodiment, the identification symbol 10 selected and stopped from the left identification symbol group 10L and the identification symbol 10 selected and stopped from the right identification symbol group 10R are the same symbol, indicating a reach state. (See FIG. 4 (b)).

  Then, the special symbol 20 is displayed at a location where the middle identification symbol group 10C has changed, as if the variation of the middle identification symbol group 10C has stopped (see FIG. 4C). reference). That is, the special symbol 20 is displayed together with the identification symbol 10 (the identification symbol 10 constituting the reach state). The special symbol 20 is a symbol indicating that a collective suggestion effect has occurred. In this embodiment, it is a pattern including a portion representing the number of hold information that is the target of the collective suggestion effect. Specifically, the symbol includes the character “W”. That is, it is a design mode that implicitly indicates to the player the meaning that the number of the hold information is two (the hold information is double). However, the aspect of the special symbol 20 is merely an example. It does not have to be an aspect that indicates such an event. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, when the number of pieces of hold information that is the target of the collective suggestion effect is three (the display area 911 is divided into divided display areas 911 a to 991 c), the character “III” is included. The special symbol 20 may be displayed.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, an effect flow until the special symbol 20 is displayed (the effect shown in FIG. 4) regardless of whether the previous determination result or the subsequent determination result is a big hit or a miss. Is the same). However, some effects may occur based on the previous determination result or the subsequent determination result. For example, when a plurality of modes are set as the special symbol 20 and the special symbol 20 of a certain specific mode is displayed, the result of determining whether or not the result is earlier than the case where another special symbol 20 is displayed. It is good also as a setting (a structure in which a so-called chance up symbol is set as the special symbol 20) in which the probability that the result of the determination of whether or not is a big hit is increased.

  Hereinafter, an example in the case where both the previous success / failure determination result and the subsequent success / failure determination result are out of place (first effect example), an example in which the previous success / failure determination result is out of place and the subsequent success / failure determination result is a big hit ( Second production example), the case where the previous success / failure determination result is a big hit and the subsequent success / failure determination result is out of place (third production example), both the previous success / failure determination result and the subsequent success / failure determination result are big hits The subsequent collective suggestion effects will be described in the case example (fourth effect example). In addition, each production example shown below is for demonstrating the basic aspect of a production. Depending on the situation, a configuration (such as a chance-up effect) may be provided so that the effect changes. For example, the manner in which the fluctuating middle identifying symbol group 10C stops (the flow of effects until the determination result is notified) may be anything.

  A first effect example will be described with reference to FIG. Since the previous determination result is out of place, the identification symbol 10 selected from the fluctuating middle identification symbol group 10C and finally stopped is different from the identification symbol 10 stopped to the left and right (FIG. 6 ( a) (b)). In other words, a stop (including a display that appears to have stopped, for example, a temporary stop that is displayed as if it is slightly rocked. Hereinafter, the same is simply referred to as “stop”) is displayed. The combination of symbols 10 is a combination indicating that it is out of place.

  Then, the display is made as if the special symbol 20 displayed in the lower divided display area 911b is replaced with the change of the middle identifying symbol group 10C again (see FIG. 6C). In other words, the special symbol 20 gives the player a feeling that a “double lottery” will be executed from now on, and after the result of the upper divided display area 911a is displayed, whether one lottery has ended. In order to give such an impression, the special symbol 20 is not displayed. Along with this, the middle identifying symbol group 10C is changed in the lower divided display area 911b, and an impression is given to the player as if another lottery is started.

  In this example, since the subsequent determination result is out of place, the identification symbol 10 selected and stopped from the changing middle identification symbol group 10C is different from the identification symbol 10 stopped to the left and right (FIG. 6). (See (d)). That is, the combination of the stopped identification symbols 10 displayed in the lower divided display area 911b is a combination indicating that they are out of place. In this way, it is shown at a time that both the previous success / failure determination result and the subsequent success / failure determination result are out of sync.

  A second effect example will be described with reference to FIG. The flow (see FIGS. 7A and 7B) up to the point that the previous determination result is out of place is the same as in the first effect example.

  After it is notified that the previous determination result is out of place in the upper divided display area 911a, a display as if the special symbol 20 displayed in the lower divided display area 911b is replaced with the change of the middle identifying symbol group 10C again. (See FIG. 7C). In this example, since the subsequent success / failure determination result is a big hit, the identification symbol 10 selected from the fluctuating medium identification symbol group 10C and finally stopped is the same as the identification symbol 10 stopped to the left and right. (Refer FIG.7 (d)). That is, the combination of the stopped identification symbols 10 displayed in the lower divided display area 911b is a combination indicating that it is a big hit. Thereby, although the previous success / failure determination result is out of place, it is shown at a time that the subsequent success / failure determination result is a big hit. Then, after the collective suggestion effect, the jackpot game corresponding to the later determination result (later holding information) is started. In addition, after stopping with the combination which shows that the identification symbol 10 is a big hit, the production | generation (production like the re-variation production mentioned later) which shows that the kind of the said identification symbol 10 may change generate | occur | produces. May be set.

  A third effect example will be described with reference to FIG. 8, and a fourth effect example will be described with reference to FIG. Since the previous determination result is a big hit, the identification symbol 10 selected from the changing middle identification symbol group 10C and stopped in the upper divided display area 911a is the same as the identification symbol 10 stopped to the left and right. (See FIGS. 8A and 8B and FIGS. 9A and 9B). That is, the combination of the stopped identification symbols 10 displayed in the upper divided display area 911a is a combination indicating that it is a big hit.

  And in this embodiment, before the jackpot game corresponding to the previous success / failure determination result (previous hold information) is started, a post-effect is performed corresponding to the subsequent win / fail determination result (later hold information). That is, after the combination indicating that it is a big hit is displayed in the upper divided display area 911a, the combination of the identification symbols 10 based on the subsequent determination result is displayed in the lower divided display area 911b.

  In the present embodiment, when the previous success / failure determination result is a jackpot, the re-variation effect is executed as a part of the subsequent effect (see FIGS. 8C and 9C). The re-variation effect is an effect in which the combination of the identification symbols 10 indicating that the previous determination result is a jackpot may further change to a combination preferable for the player. In the present embodiment, as the identification symbol 10, the first type identification symbol 11, the second type identification symbol 12, and the third type identification symbol 13 having different expected values of the number of game balls that can be acquired during the jackpot game (so-called game balls) are provided. It is set, and the state where the first type identification symbols 11 are arranged in three is the most preferable situation for the player, and the state where the third type identification symbols 13 are arranged in three is the most preferable for the player. This is an unfavorable situation. Therefore, when the second type identification symbol 12 and the third type identification symbol 13 are arranged in three, it indicates to the player that it may change to a more preferable combination. When the second type identification symbol 12 becomes a set of three, the state as it is is maintained (including changing to another second type identification symbol 13 having the same value for the player) or the first type There is a possibility of changing to a triple of the identification symbols 11. When the third type identification symbol 13 becomes a set of three, the state as it is is maintained (including changing to another third type identification symbol 13 having the same value for the player) or the first type There is a possibility that the pattern changes to a triple of the identification symbol 11 and the second type identification symbol 12 (see FIGS. 8D and 8E and FIGS. 9D and 9E). Any mode (revariation mode) up to the change may be used. It does not have to be an aspect in which the symbols actually “fluctuate”. For example, an aspect may be adopted in which when the three identification symbols 10 are once erased and displayed again, they are changed to another type of identification symbols 10.

  Along with the re-variation effect, a combination of the identification symbols 10 based on the subsequent determination result is displayed in the lower divided display area 911b. In other words, the combination of the identification symbols 10 shown in the upper divided display area 911a that has been informed of the jackpot will be changed to a more preferable combination or maintained, and the subsequent determination result of the success / failure will be notified. (See FIGS. 8D and 8E and FIGS. 9D and 9E). In the present embodiment, the middle identification symbol is displayed in the lower divided display area 911b together with the re-variation effect of the upper divided display area 911a.

  In the case of the third performance example, it is notified that the middle identification symbol is different from the left identification symbol and the right identification symbol that have already stopped (see FIGS. 8D and 8E). In the case of the fourth effect example, the middle identification symbol is the same symbol as the left identification symbol or the right identification symbol that has already stopped, and it is notified that it is a big hit (see FIGS. 9D and 9E). Along with the re-variation effect in the upper divided display area 911a, all the identification symbols 10 in the lower divided display area 911b are changed again and stopped (not only the identification symbols 10 that have not been stopped but also the left and right identification symbols). 10 may also be changed again).

  However, the effect aspect in which the subsequent determination result is notified together with the re-variation effect is merely an example. As described above, a display may be made as if the special symbol 20 has been replaced with the change of the middle identifying symbol group 10C again, and one identifying symbol 10 selected from the middle identifying symbol group 10C may be stopped. . For example, when the combination of the identification symbols 10 initially displayed in the upper divided display area 911a is a set of three of the first type identification symbols 11, the lower divided display area 911b is simply executed without executing the re-variation effect. You may make it alert | report the subsequent determination result. However, even if the combination of the identification symbols 10 initially displayed in the upper divided display area 911a is a set of three identification symbols 11 of the first type, it seems as if the first identification symbols 11 change. While displaying an aspect (an aspect as if it changes again), it can also be set as the effect which alert | reports the subsequent determination result.

  In this embodiment, a difference is set for each jackpot game depending on the so-called expected value of the ball, but if there is a difference in the profit that the player can enjoy, the method for setting the difference in profit is It may be other than appearing balls. For example, a difference may be set in the profit depending on the gaming state after the jackpot game is finished (whether or not the winning probability is in a high probability state, whether or not there is a time-saving gaming state, or a length difference).

  In the fourth effect example, since the success / failure determination result corresponding to the subsequent hold information is a big hit, the specific game state (after the start of the specific game state after the jackpot game corresponding to the previous hold information is executed) At the first variation (first rotation)), it is notified again that it is a big hit (the big hit notification may be notified by a collective suggestion effect). And the jackpot game corresponding to it is performed. That is, in the fourth effect example, after the fact that the previous success / failure determination result is informed in the upper divided display area 911a that the jackpot game corresponding to the jackpot is completed, the jackpot is immediately won. It can be said that this is a notification of a so-called reserved continuous channel (a first continuous variable continuous channel).

  In this way, when the success / failure determination result corresponding to the previous hold information is a big hit, the destination that has already been suggested or notified that the win / win determination result corresponding to the later hold information is suggested or notified together with the effect of suggesting or notifying There is a possibility that a post-stage effect that indicates or changes the type of winning game for the hold information of will be executed. Since the post-effects not only indicate the success / failure determination result corresponding to the subsequent hold information, but also indicate the possibility that the jackpot type corresponding to the previous hold information may be changed to be more advantageous for the player. , Both have a great impact when the situation becomes pleasing to the player (the situation where the success / failure determination result is a big win and the type of jackpot corresponding to the previous holding information changes to a more advantageous one) High production can be achieved.

  In addition, the structure demonstrated using the said 3rd effect example and the 4th effect example is applicable also to the collective suggestion effect using three or more hold information. Among three or more pieces of hold information, if hold information other than the hold information for which the determination result is finally announced is a jackpot, the hold determination result is notified after the hold information that is the jackpot About information, it can be set as the structure which the above-mentioned post production produces. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, in the collective suggestion effect using three pieces of hold information (collective suggestion effect using divided areas 911 a to 911 c), the determination result corresponding to the first hold information is out of place. (Refer to FIG. 10 (b)), if the success / failure determination result corresponding to the second hold information is a big hit (see FIG. 10 (c)), the third hold that is the hold information after that With respect to information, a post-effect as described above can be generated (see FIGS. 10D and 10E). In addition, when the success / failure determination result corresponding to the first hold information is a big hit, the post-event as described above is applied to the second hold information and the third hold information that are later hold information. It can also be set as the structure which a production | generation produces.

  Further, the re-variation effect in this example has a possibility that the type of jackpot corresponding to the previous hold information may change, but the jackpot notification is not divided into the upper split display area 911a without specifying the type of jackpot. After that, it is good also as an effect that the type of jackpot corresponding to the previous hold information is shown together with the result of the determination of the success / failure corresponding to the subsequent hold information.

  As described above, the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment can execute an unprecedented effect of collectively suggesting or notifying the determination result corresponding to two or more pieces of hold information. Specifically, the determination result corresponding to each of the two or more holding information is displayed in the display area 911 at a time. In particular, in the present embodiment, the display area 911 is divided, and the identification symbol 10 that suggests or notifies the determination result of each hold information to be targeted is displayed in each divided display area. Compared to the production that suggests or reports the determination result of the hold information, the number of hold information that is the target of the collective suggestion has increased the expectation that the success / failure determination result will be true for the collective suggestion overall. It can be easily shown (or implied) to the player.

  In other words, although the jackpot expectation degree for the effect (effect other than the collective suggestion effect) suggesting or notifying the determination result of one hold information is the “hit probability” in the gaming state itself, The jackpot expectation degree is “the jackpot probability” in the gaming state × “the number of hold information to be subjected to the collective suggestion effect”. In the present embodiment, an effect (impact other than the collective suggestion effect) that suggests or notifies the determination result of whether or not one piece of hold information is appropriate is an effect that is a big hit at about 1/5, and the collective suggestion effect is about 2/5. It will be a big win.

  As a conventional gaming machine, it is possible to execute a presentation mode as if multiple chances were visited, such as so-called “double reach” where the identification symbol becomes a reach state with a double line, and “triple reach” where a reach state becomes a triple line However, this is only one reach effect that informs one success / failure determination result (the reach state in multiple lines is only for the sake of illustration (shows so-called chance up etc.) On the other hand, the collective suggestion effect in the present embodiment suggests or informs a plurality of success / failure determination results at a time, so that it is different from the conventional case, that is, a true “double reach”. It can be said that it is a kind of production such as “triple reach”.

  It should be noted that effects such as the conventional “double reach” and “triple reach” may be generated as effects having the same contents as the collective suggestion effects in the present embodiment. In other words, there may be a collective suggestion effect that suggests or reports a plurality of determination results at a time, or an effect that notifies a single determination result that is the same as or similar to the collective suggestion effect may occur. It is good also as a structure. By doing in this way, it is possible to cause the player to guess whether or not the actually generated effect (the effect such as the collective suggestion effect or the collective suggestion effect) is to notify a plurality of determination results at a time. It is also possible to provide a gaming machine with a configuration that enhances the taste of the game. In the production mode of the present embodiment, for example, when the collective suggestion effect is executed with the last hold information in a predetermined period in which there is only one hold information or the collective suggestion effect is possible, in the upper divided display area 911a. An effect that suggests or notifies the determination result of the hold information is performed, and if the hold is a big hit, the upper divided display area 911a performs the big hit effect, and the lower divided display area 911b is a dummy (pseudo) N) It is possible to perform an effect such as a collective suggestion effect by performing an extraordinary effect. Even if the hold is off, the upper divided display area 911a performs a shift effect in the same manner, and the lower divided display area 911b performs a dummy (pseudo) off stage effect to produce an effect such as a collective suggestion effect. Can be done.

  Moreover, it can be said that the collective suggestion effect in the present embodiment is a notification in a state where the determination result corresponding to the previous hold information remains when the determination result of the determination corresponding to the subsequent hold information is notified.

  Hereinafter, specific examples in which the above embodiment is improved, modified, or more specific will be described. In addition, it is good also as a structure which applied each specific example demonstrated below independently, and it is good also as a structure applied combining the some specific example. Moreover, it is good also as a structure to which only a part of setting demonstrated in each specific example is applied.

-First specific example The first specific example relates to display of a specific gaming state. The specific gaming state is ended when the improper determination result that is lost is continuously executed a predetermined number of times (hereinafter also referred to as an actual continuation number). In this example, not the actual number of continuations in a specific gaming state itself, but the number of times that two or more pieces of pending information that are targets of collective suggestion effects are regarded as one (hereinafter also referred to as provisional continuation times). It is shown to the player as if. In other words, the collective suggestion effect is to notify a plurality of success / failure determination results, but is handled as if it is to notify a single determination result. If the number of continuations of the specific gaming state is 6 as in the above embodiment, the provisional continuation count is 5 or less when the collective suggestion effect occurs at least once.

  Various methods for displaying the number of temporary continuations are conceivable. As an example, a mode in which the number of temporary continuations is displayed as a display indicating the number of times of the specific game state to the player before the start of the specific game state can be considered. For example, when the specific gaming state is continued until the result of the determination of whether or not the result is determined to be out of order is continuously performed a predetermined number of times (when the run is completed), when it is set so that one batch suggestion effect is always generated ( For details, refer to the second specific example), since the number of provisional continuations, that is, the number of continuations of the specific game state apparent to the player is 5, the specific game state is changed after the jackpot game as shown in FIG. Before being started, a display indicating that the number of continuations of the specific gaming state is 5 is performed. Thereby, the player recognizes as if the specific gaming state is continued for a maximum of 5 times (as if the batch suggesting effect is one effect for notifying the result of one-time determination). become.

When the number of actual continuations in a specific gaming state is X1, the number of hold information targeted for batch suggestion is X2, and the number of batch suggestion effects that occur during a specific gaming state (a certain number of times) is N The displayed temporary continuation count Y is
Y = X1- (X2-1) × N
It is represented by
For example, it is displayed when the group suggestion effect that the actual continuation count is 8 (X1) and the number of target hold information is 3 (X2) is generated twice (N) during the specific gaming state. The temporary continuation count Y is
Y = 8− (3-1) × 2 = 4
That is, the player's appearance is displayed as if the continuation count of the specific gaming state is four times.

  In addition, the number of continuations of the gaming state that enters after the specific gaming state may be displayed together. For example, the specific gaming state is a probability that the jackpot probability is high (probability variation state) and a so-called time-reduced gaming state (a state in which a game ball is more likely to win the start winning opening 92 than the normal state), and after the specific gaming state, In the case of a configuration in which the jackpot probability is low and the game enters a so-called time-reduced gaming state (low-probable time-short state), the time-reduced gaming state continues after the specific gaming state from the player's perspective. The number of continuations in the gaming state and the number of subsequent continuations in the low-probability short-time state may be displayed together. For example, if the specific game state with 6 actual continuations (5 provisional continuations) and the subsequent low probability short-time state is set to 50, the number of continuations in the specific game state is 6 Instead of displaying “56 times”, as shown in FIG. 12, “55 times” is displayed with the number of continuations of the specific gaming state being five times.

  As another example of the display method of the number of temporary continuations, a method of counting up or down a number every time a collective suggestion effect or an effect that is not a collective suggestion effect is completed can be considered. In other words, each time the production is completed, numbers are displayed at predetermined positions such as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, and the specific gaming state continues for the number of temporary continuations (5 times). It is displayed as if it is a thing (FIG. 13 shows an example of countdown). That is, the value that increases or decreases when the collective suggestion effect ends is “1” (in FIG. 13, the value that decreases when the collective suggestion effect ends is “1” (FIGS. 13E and 13F). )reference)). Even if comprised in this way, a player will recognize as if a specific game state continues a maximum of 5 times.

  In addition, this example is a method for showing the collective suggestion effect as if it is a single effect for notifying the result of one-time determination, and the actual number of continuations is displayed as it is (for example, 11 does not deny that “6” display is performed in the example shown in FIG. 11 and “56 times” is displayed in the example shown in FIG.

Second specific example The second specific example is set so that at least one collective suggestion effect is always generated during a specific gaming state. As a result, when the player enters the specific game state and continues the game until the specific game state ends, the player can always experience one batch suggestion effect.

  The number of batch suggestion effects that always occur during a specific game state may change, but the number of batch suggestion effects that occur during a specific game state is constant, and is described in the first specific example. There is an advantage that the number of provisional continuations is constant. That is, since the number of provisional continuations in the specific gaming state is constant, it is possible to display the provisional continuation number as if it were the actual number of continuations in the specific gaming state before the start of the specific gaming state.

  Since the collective suggestion effect is an effect using two or more pieces of hold information, there is a possibility that it cannot be executed if there is no two or more pieces of hold information through the specific gaming state. In this case, it is preferable to start the collective suggestion based on one hold information and to continue the collective suggestion until the next hold information is obtained. For example, if it says according to the said embodiment, it will carry out until it reports on the determination result corresponding to the said hold information in the upper division | segmentation display area 911a based on one hold information. When the next hold information is obtained until then, the determination result corresponding to the hold information is notified in the lower divided display area 911b. On the other hand, if the next hold information has not been obtained so far, as shown in FIG. 14, in the state of notifying the determination result in the upper divided display area 911a (the state shown in FIG. 14B). It is conceivable that the system is configured to wait for the next hold information to be obtained and to notify the result of the determination of the validity corresponding to the hold information in the lower divided display area 911b (see FIG. 14C). That is, a method of waiting without ending the collective suggestion until the next hold information is obtained can be considered.

Third Specific Example The third specific example relates to the timing of executing the collective suggestion effect (for which holding information the collective suggestion effect is executed). In this example, the hold information that exists immediately before the start of the specific game state (because the specific game state is started after the end of the jackpot game, it can be said that the end of the jackpot game (end time) ), It is determined at what timing the collective suggestion effect is executed while referring to the contents of the hold information (whether or not the hold information is a big hit).

  In this example, when determining the two or more pieces of hold information to be the target of the collective suggestion effect, if the hold information corresponding to the hold information stored in the storage means is included, two or more items to be the target of the production The collective suggestion effect for winning that includes the hold information that is a big hit in the hold information occurs more than the collective suggestion effect for the outlier that does not contain any hold information that is a big hit in the two or more hold information to be directed It is set to be easy. For example, as shown in FIG. 15 (FIG. 15 (i)), when deciding at which timing a collective suggestion effect using two pieces of hold information is to be executed, four pieces of hold information are stored in the storage means at that time. If the hold information that is a big hit is included in the third of the four hold information (the order in which the decision result is notified (digestion order), the same applies hereinafter), the first and second Collective suggestion for the second and third hold information, or third and fourth hold information (collective suggestion for winning) rather than the collective suggestion for hold information (collective suggestion for outliers) ) Is more likely to occur. In addition, when there are a plurality of ranges in which the outlier collective suggestion effects can be set, a difference may be set in the likelihood of occurrence, or they may be exactly the same. Similarly, when there are a plurality of ranges in which a winning collective suggestion effect can be set, a difference in the likelihood of occurrence may be set (details will be described later), or they may be exactly the same.

  In this way, since the winning collective suggestion including the hold information that is a big hit is set so as to easily occur, it is possible to further increase the expectation when the collective suggestion occurs.

  In addition, when determining the collective suggestion effect for winning, it is more likely that the two or more hold information to be targeted will be the ones that will be notified later than the ones that will be notified earlier, that the determination result will be a big hit. It is set to be. For example, as shown in FIG. 15 (FIG. 15 (ii)), when deciding at which timing a collective suggestion effect using two pieces of hold information is to be executed, four pieces of hold information are stored in the storage means at that time. If the 3rd of the 4 hold information contains hold information that is a big hit, the collective suggestion for winning for the 2nd and 3rd hold information is the 3rd and 4th It is set to be easier to generate than the collective suggestion effect for winning for the second hold information.

  By setting in this way, it is possible to produce an effect that can be expected in the latter half of the first half of the production. However, if it is desired to increase the occurrence frequency of the effects as described in the third effect example, the reverse setting may be used.

  In addition, when there is a lot of hold information that is a big hit, a batch suggestion effect that includes multiple hold information that is a big hit is more likely to occur than a batch suggestion effect that contains only one hold information that is a big hit. It should be set. For example, as shown in FIG. 16, when deciding at which timing the collective suggestion effect using two pieces of hold information is to be executed, four pieces of hold information are stored in the storage means at the time point, If the second and third of the on-hold information includes big-holding information, the collective suggestion for the first and second hold information (collective suggestion for winning) and the third and fourth Collective suggestion directed to the second and third hold information (collective suggestive for win) is more likely to occur than collective suggestive directed to the hold information for eyes (collective suggestion for winning). It is good that it is set as follows.

  By setting in this way, it is possible to increase the frequency of the production showing the reserved continuous channel as described in the fourth production example.

  Moreover, it can also be set as the structure which may generate | occur | produce the case where a batch suggestion production does not generate | occur | produce even once in a specific game state. In this case, the probability that the collective suggestion will never occur during the specific game state is likely to be a big hit in the hold information stored in the storage means immediately before the start of the specific game state (at the end of the big hit game). It is good to set so that it becomes higher when all of the hold information is out of place than when it is included. By configuring in this way, it is possible to raise the expectation that the occurrence of the collective suggestion effect itself is a big hit during the specific gaming state.

  In this example, based on the hold information stored in the storage means immediately before the start of the specific game state (at the end of the jackpot game), at which timing (using which two or more hold information is used) the collective suggestion effect is executed Because it is determined whether or not, the batch suggesting effect is a kind of pre-reading effect to be executed after specifying the number and type of pending information stored at a specific time (whether or not it is a big hit) It can also be said that it has been applied. Note that the time point for determining whether or not to execute the collective suggestion effect as such a prefetch effect is not limited to just before the start of the specific gaming state as in this example. Moreover, it is good also as a structure which continues determining whether a collective suggestion effect is performed as a prefetch effect. For example, in a normal gaming state, it may be configured such that the prefetching can occur at any time point while grasping the state of the hold information that changes with time. Also, even if there is a case where the collective suggestion effect is not executed, such as when it is determined that the collective suggestion effect is not executed because there is no holding information when deciding whether to execute the collective suggestion effect. Good.

-Fourth specific example The fourth specific example is an example in which the third specific example is further developed. In the third specific example, two or more pieces of hold information to be collectively suggested effects are determined based on the hold information stored in the storage means at the end of the jackpot game (immediately before the start of the specific game state). As described above, there may be a case where a collective suggestion effect using the hold information acquired after the specific gaming state is started occurs.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 17, when determining when to execute the collective suggestion effect using two pieces of hold information, four pieces of hold information are stored in the storage means at the end of the jackpot game. And In this case, there is a possibility that a batch suggesting effect for the first and second hold information, the second and third hold information, and the third and fourth hold information already stored in the storage means may occur. Not only that, but the fourth suggestion and the fifth suggestion information that will be acquired in the future are set so that there is a possibility that a collective suggestion effect may occur. In other words, there is a possibility that a collective suggestion effect using the last hold information stored in the storage means at the end of the jackpot and the new hold information acquired after the specific gaming state is started may occur.

  By configuring in this way, it is possible to increase the variation in timing at which the collective suggestion effect occurs.

  In the case of the collective suggestion effect using three or more hold information, the variation of the effect using the new hold information acquired after the specific gaming state is started increases. For example, as shown in FIG. 18, when deciding when to execute a collective suggestion effect using three pieces of hold information, four pieces of hold information are stored in the storage means at the end of the jackpot game. And In this case, not only the possibility of the collective suggestion using the third and fourth hold information already stored in the storage means and the fifth hold information that will be acquired in the future occurs, It is possible to adopt a configuration in which there is a possibility that a collective suggestion effect using the fifth hold information and the fifth and sixth hold information that will be acquired in the future may occur. That is, in this example, one or a plurality of holding information including the last holding information among the holding information stored in the storage unit at the end of the jackpot, and one or more new holding information acquired thereafter By setting the possibility that a collective suggestion effect using the occurrence of the collective effect will occur, the variation of the timing at which the collective suggestion effect occurs is to be increased.

-Fifth Specific Example As described in the third specific example, when the collective suggestion effect is used as a kind of so-called look-ahead effect in the specific game state, the hold information stored in the storage means before the start of the specific game state The number of is important. Of the hold information stored in the storage means before the start of the collective suggestion, it is intended to suggest which hold information is expected to be a big hit by the occurrence of the collective suggestion Because there is. When the collective suggestion is set to occur in the specific gaming state, the storage means stores the hold information equal to or more than the actual number of continuations of the specific gaming state (can be in such a state). Is desirable). This example can be said to be a configuration for creating such a state.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the first winning port 921 and the second winning port 922 are provided as the start winning port 92 that is used as a trigger for determining whether or not a game ball wins, that is, when acquiring holding information. . Retention information acquired by winning a game ball in the first winning opening 921 (hereinafter also referred to as first holding information) and hold information acquired by winning a game ball in the second winning opening 922 ( Hereinafter, the maximum number of storages in the storage means (sometimes referred to as second hold information) is four. As the first winning port 921, a main first winning port 921a and an additional first winning port 921b are provided. The prefixes “main” and “addition” here are formal ones used to distinguish the two, and there is no master-slave relationship or the like between them. The hold information acquired when the game ball wins the main first winning opening 921a and the additional first winning opening 921b is all the first holding information. Further, when the maximum number of first hold information (four in this example) is stored, even if a game ball wins in either the main first winning port 921a or the additional first winning port 921b. No new first hold information is acquired (stored).

  The game area 902 is divided into a first game area 902a and a second game area 902b. In the present embodiment, a first game area 902a is provided on the relatively left side of the game area 902, and a second game area 902b is provided on the right side. Depending on the gaming state, the player plays a game that causes the game ball to enter the first game area 902a (hereinafter also referred to as a left-handed game), or enters the second game area 902b. Such a game (hereinafter sometimes referred to as a right-handed game) is performed. In the present embodiment, the normal game state is set as a state where a left-handed game should be played, and the specific game state is set as a state where a right-handed game should be played.

  The main first winning opening 921a is provided in the first game area 902a. During a normal game state, the player wins a big hit by winning a game ball in the main first winning opening 921a by left-handed game. On the other hand, the additional first winning port 921b and the second winning port 922 are provided in the second game area 902b. During the specific gaming state, the opening / closing member 922h that opens and closes the entrance of the second winning opening 922 is frequently opened (this is a so-called time-saving gaming state). Can receive a lot. Basically, during the specific game state, the player wins a big hit by causing the second winning hole 922 to win a game ball by right-handed game.

  In addition, when a right-handed game is performed, there is a possibility that a game ball will win in an additional first winning port 921b provided in the second game area 902b. That is, if a right-handed game is played during the specific game state, not only the second hold information but also the first hold information may be acquired. However, the probability of winning in the additional first winning port 921b when the right-handed game is performed is set lower than the probability of winning in the main first winning port 921a when the left-handed game is performed (for example, the game Such a relationship may be established by the arrangement of nails, or such a relationship may be established by providing an opening / closing door that opens or closes the winning opening under a predetermined condition). In other words, the game ball that entered the second game area 902b wins the additional first prize port 921b, rather than the probability (probability) that the game ball that entered the first game area 902a won the main first prize port 921a. The probability (probability) is set low. As a result, during a normal gaming state, a game is played so that a right / left determination is received by playing a left-handed game (in a normal gaming state, playing a right-handed game is disadvantageous for the player) Can produce. It should be noted that the opening / closing member 922h rarely opens the second winning opening 922 during the normal gaming state (nothing at all), so that the game ball is put into the second winning opening 922 during the normal gaming state. It is difficult (impossible) to win.

  The advantages of such a configuration are as follows. The specific gaming state is continued until the result of the determination of whether or not the predetermined number of times (actual continuation number) is lost. In other words, when a big win is won in the middle of a specific gaming state, the player enters the specific gaming state again after the jackpot game ends. During the first specific game state, since the player will be playing right-handed, the game ball is acquired (stored in the storage means) by winning the game ball at the second winning port 922. The number of two pending information tends to increase. In addition, there is a possibility that the game ball may win the additional first prize opening 921b due to the right-handed game, and therefore the first hold information may be acquired (stored in the storage means) during the first specific game. is there.

  Then, when the first specific gaming state ends and the second specific gaming state is entered, at the time before the start of the second specific gaming state, not only a lot of second hold information but also the first hold Information may be stored in the storage means. If the actual continuation count of the specific gaming state is 6 as in the above embodiment, there is a possibility that more hold information (maximum 8) is stored in the storage means. In other words, by providing the additional first prize opening 921b, there is a possibility that the first hold information may be acquired even during the specific gaming state. Therefore, the configuration without such an additional first prize opening 921b (right-handed) Compared to a configuration in which the first hold information cannot be acquired by a game), the number of hold information stored in the storage means increases. In particular, in a configuration in which the maximum stored number of second hold information acquired by the second winning port 922, which is the main winning port for receiving a determination of success / failure during the specific gaming state, is smaller than the actual number of continuations in the specific gaming state. This example is effective. And, if the sum of the maximum number of first hold information and the maximum number of second hold information that can be stored in the storage means is equal to or greater than the actual number of continuations of the specific gaming state, at the start of the specific gaming state, This means that there is a high probability that the hold information for the actual number of continuations is stored. In this example, the order in which the determination result is notified (digestion order) needs to be in the order in which the hold information is acquired regardless of whether the hold information is the first hold information or the second hold information. is there. For example, when the second hold information is preferentially digested, the newly acquired second hold information is acquired before the specific game state is started after the specific game state is started. This is because it has to be digested in preference to the first hold information, and it becomes impossible to determine the timing for executing the collective suggestion effect including the first hold information before the start of the specific gaming state. .

  Further, even before the start of the first specific gaming state, in order to obtain a state in which a large amount of hold information is stored in the storage means, even during the jackpot game, the second prize opening 922 and the additional first A configuration may be adopted in which a game ball may win a prize opening 921b. In this example 9, the jackpot game is configured to be a right-handed game (a big prize opening 906 aimed at the jackpot game is provided in the second game area 902b), and the opening / closing member 922h is opened to some extent during the jackpot game. Set to be possible. In this way, when the first jackpot game won in the normal game state is digested, there is a possibility that on-hold information that is equal to or greater than the actual continuation number of the specific game state is stored in the storage means.

  As described above, according to this example, the collective suggestion effect as a kind of the prefetch effect can be effectively functioned.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described in detail, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment at all, A various change is possible in the range which does not deviate from the summary of this invention.

  In the said embodiment, although demonstrated centering on the collective suggestion effect for two continuous hold information (a part, the collective suggestion effect for three or more hold information), three or more continuous The same technical idea can be applied even when the reserved information is the target of the collective suggestion effect. In addition, a configuration in which the number of continuous hold information that is a target of the collective suggestion effect can change (for example, there is a possibility that a collective suggestion effect for two consecutive hold information may occur, or for three consecutive hold information items) It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which a collective suggestion effect may occur.

  In the above embodiment, the collective suggestion effect using the display device 91 has been described. However, if the determination result corresponding to two or more hold information is suggested or notified collectively, the display device 91 is used in this way. It does not have to be a production used. For example, the same technical idea can be applied to a gaming machine or the like that rotates a plurality of drums on which a plurality of types of symbols are drawn and notifies the result of the determination of success / failure by the combination of the stopped symbols.

  The collective suggestion effect in the above embodiment suggests or informs the success / failure determination result corresponding to two or more hold information in a lump, and as if it is to notify a single success / failure determination result. If you want to show to the player, it is better not to display the above-mentioned reserved symbols during the collective suggestion effect. That is, it is preferable to make it difficult for the player to notice that the collective suggestion effect is an effect that suggests or notifies the success / failure determination result corresponding to two or more pieces of hold information due to a change in the hold symbol or the like. While a reserved symbol may be displayed during an effect other than the collective suggesting effect, the reserved symbol may not be displayed during the collective suggesting effect.
