Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine.

  As described in Patent Document 1 below, a gaming machine capable of executing a continuous effect such as a so-called pseudo continuous effect is known.

JP 2013-17523 A

  The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a gaming machine capable of improving the preference of effects related to continuous performance.

  The gaming machine according to the present invention made to solve the above-mentioned problem is a combination of identification symbols that each display a plurality of identification symbol groups each including a plurality of types of identification symbols, and are selected and stopped from each identification symbol group The notification means for notifying the result of the determination of the success / failure and the continuous effect suggesting the probability that the determination of success / failure is a hit according to the number of occurrences of the unit effect that starts the fluctuation again after the identification symbol group is stopped or pseudo-stopped. A plurality of types of identification symbols including a definite symbol indicating that the unit effect occurs and a notice symbol indicating that the unit effect is highly likely to occur. It is characterized by that.

  In the above gaming machine according to the present invention, the plurality of types of identification symbols include a warning symbol that suggests that there is a high probability that a unit effect will occur. In other words, not only is a unit combination generated by a predetermined combination including a confirmed symbol, but also an interesting effect that a unit effect is predicted by a notice symbol (continuous effect notice effect) is executed. Is possible.

  Each of the plurality of types of identification symbols includes a main symbol for notifying the determination result, and an accompanying symbol accompanying it, and the accompanying symbol of the confirmed symbol and the accompanying symbol of the notice symbol are other accompanying symbols. It is good that it is a different same kind of character design.

  By doing in this way, it is possible to make it easy to understand that the confirmed symbol and the notice symbol are both related to the continuous performance.

  After the notice symbol is stopped or pseudo-stopped, it is preferable that a branch effect indicating whether or not the unit effect is generated depending on the end result is executed.

  In this way, after the notice symbol is stopped or pseudo-stopped, by executing the branch effect indicating whether or not the unit effect is generated, the notice symbol is highly likely to generate the unit effect. It is possible to make it easy to understand that it is a symbol.

  The end result of the branch effect indicating that the unit effect is generated may be the same as the determined effect that is executed when the determined symbol is stopped or pseudo-stopped.

  In this way, both the case where the unit effect occurs via the stop or pseudo stop of the notice symbol and the case where the unit effect occurs via the confirmed symbol (the end of the branch effect and the final effect) ) Is generated, it is possible to make the production using the notice symbol and the confirmed symbol easier to understand.

  Among the plurality of identification symbol groups, there is a high probability that the unit effect is generated by the notice symbol included in the target identification symbol group that is an identification symbol group other than the identification symbol group whose variation stops or is pseudo-stopped at the beginning or end. Should be shown.

  The identification symbol (group) that stops or quasi-stops first becomes a reference indicating the determination result, and it is not preferable to use the identification symbol (group) to indicate that there is a high probability that a unit effect will occur. In addition, the identification symbol (group) that stops or pseudo-stops at the end appears to the player as if the result of the success / failure determination has been confirmed, and therefore, it is highly probable that a unit effect will be generated using this. It is not so preferable. Therefore, it is good to show that the probability which generate | occur | produces using the identification symbol (group) which stops or pseudo-stops first and last is high.

  According to the gaming machine according to the present invention, it is possible to improve the preference of effects related to continuous performance.

1 is a front view of a gaming machine according to an embodiment of the present invention. It is a list figure of an identification symbol. It is the figure which showed an example of the pseudo-continuous production using a fixed symbol. It is the figure which showed an example of the pseudo-continuous production using the notice symbol. It is the figure (continuation of FIG. 4) which showed an example of the pseudo-continuous production using a notice symbol. It is a figure for demonstrating a 1st modification.

  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 constitutes a path for guiding a game ball launched by the operation of the launch device 908 (launch handle) to the game area 902 has a substantially arc shape. It is provided as follows.

  The game area 902 is provided with a start winning opening 904, a big winning opening 906, an out opening, and the like. The display device 91 is provided behind the game board 90, and 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. 3 to 6, the display area 911 is roughly described in a substantially square shape, but the shape and the like can be changed as appropriate (the shape and size of the opening 901, the shape and size of the display device 91 itself). The shape and the like of the display area 911 can be changed by changing.

  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.

  Winning lottery (winning determination) is executed by a winning determination means provided on a control board (not shown) triggered by a winning of a game ball in the start winning opening 904 shown in FIG. Multiple may be provided). In this embodiment, the winning “mouth” (the winning game ball is taken in), but the winning “area” (the winning game ball flows down the game area 902 as it is. The thing which made such an aspect can be illustrated.

  A numerical value is acquired from a random number source in response to the winning of a game ball at the start winning opening 904, and when the numerical value is the same as a predetermined jackpot value, it becomes a big hit, and when it is different, it is out of place. That is, it is determined directly whether or not a big win is won, with the winning of a game ball at the start winning opening 904 as an opportunity.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, although the notification of the success / failure determination result will be started in the order in which the numerical values for performing the above-described determination of the success / failure are acquired, when a certain numerical value was acquired, it was acquired before that When the determination result based on the numerical value is notified, it is stored in a storage means provided on a control board (not shown) until notification of the determination result based on the certain numerical value is started. The maximum storage number (maximum hold number) of numerical values (hereinafter also referred to as 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 unit in the present embodiment is four. In addition, the numerical value acquired in order to perform the success / failure determination is also used as a numerical value for determining the specific content of the effect for informing the determination result. In the display area 911, a display indicating the presence of the hold information (hold display 50; see FIG. 3 or the like) may be made. In addition, it may be configured to immediately determine whether or not the winning winning opening 904 is won, and to store the determination result itself in the storage means (in this case, the determination result itself is the holding information). It turns out that).

  Whether the determination result is a big hit or not is notified by a combination of a plurality of (seven types in the present embodiment) identification symbols 10 displayed in the display area 911 of the display device 91. As shown in FIG. 2, in the present embodiment, three identification symbols 10 groups (identification symbols in the left identification symbol 10 group / inside) including numbers “1” to “7” (which is a main symbol 11 to be described later). 10 groups / right identification symbols 10 groups) are variably displayed. Each group of identification symbols 10 starts to fluctuate simultaneously with the start of an effect to notify a certain determination result, and when the jackpot is won, the identification symbols 10 are finally stopped 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.

  Each identification symbol 10 in the present embodiment includes a main symbol 11 and an accompanying symbol 12 (see FIG. 2). The main symbol 11 is a portion including characters such as numbers and alphabets. As described above, the main symbol 11 in the present embodiment includes any of the numbers “1” to “7”. On the other hand, the accompanying pattern 12 in this embodiment is a part including a pattern representing a character. Specifically, it includes a picture representing any of the characters A to G. Since the accompanying symbol 12 is a part for enhancing the production effect, the size, form, and the like may change in accordance with the production. For example, there are cases where the characters constituting the accompanying symbol 12 move.

  On the other hand, the main symbol 11 basically does not change its form (although it does not deny changing, the content (character content) represented by the symbol is displayed no matter how it changes. The main symbol 11 makes it possible for the player to easily distinguish between the identification symbols 10. Basically, the player sees the main symbol 11 and grasps what the result of the determination is.

  If the jackpot is won, a jackpot 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.

  The plurality of types of identification symbols 10 included in the identification symbol group 10 include a confirmed symbol 10a and a notice symbol 10b whose details will be described later. In the present embodiment, “7” is the main symbol 11 as the confirmed symbol 10a, and “3” is the main symbol 11 as the notice symbol 10b. In the following description, the identification symbol 10 other than the confirmed symbol 10a and the notice symbol 10b may be referred to as a normal symbol 10n.

  The confirmed symbol 10a and the notice symbol 10b are associated with the accompanying symbol 12 although the mode of the main symbol 11 is clearly different between “7” and “3”. In the present embodiment, the character G of the accompanying symbol 12 included in the confirmed symbol 10a and the character C of the accompanying symbol 12 included in the notice symbol 10b are the same type of characters (hereinafter also referred to as a specific character 80). In addition, the pattern form itself may not be the same. From the viewpoint of the player, the symbols may be different to the extent that the characters G and C can be recognized as the same character. The other characters of the accompanying symbol 12, that is, the characters A, B, and D to F, are different types of characters from the character C and the character G. In order to emphasize that the character C and the character G are the same type of character (the specific character 80), the characters A, B, and D to F are different types of characters (characters C and G). It is preferable that each character is a different character.

  The gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment is a pseudo-continuous effect as an effect that suggests what the result of the determination as to whether or not the result is finally notified by the combination of the identification symbols 10 (whether or not it will be a big hit). 20 can be executed (the means for executing the pseudo continuous effect 20 corresponds to the continuous effect executing means in the present invention). Since the quasi-continuous production 20 itself is publicly known, a detailed description thereof is omitted.

  The pseudo-continuous effect 20 shown in FIGS. 3 to 5 is a state in which the fluctuating identification symbol 10 is temporarily stopped (it seems to be stopped for the player but is not completely stopped. For example, the symbol is This is a notice to start changing again after a slight shaking). In other words, by temporarily stopping the fluctuating identification symbol 10, it appears as if the determination result is out of place, and starts to fluctuate again (notifying the player that it has not yet been confirmed). It is a notice. In the present embodiment, a unit effect (the pseudo continuous effect 20 is configured by executing the unit effect one or more times) as a set that the identification symbol 10 is temporarily stopped and then started to change again. As the number of occurrences increases, the probability that the determination of success / failure will be a big hit (so-called jackpot reliability) increases.

  In the pseudo continuous effect 20 in the present embodiment, the right identification symbol group 10 is set as a target identification symbol group 10g for notifying the occurrence of a continuous effect. Except for the case where a special aspect occurs, basically, since the variation stops or pseudo-stops in the order of the left identification symbol group 10, the right identification symbol group 10, and the middle identification symbol group 10, the right identification symbol It can be said that the symbol 10 group is not the identification symbol 10 group in which the fluctuation is stopped or pseudo-stopped at the beginning and the end. As shown in FIG. 3, when the identification symbol 10 selected from the target identification symbol group 10g and being pseudo-stopped is the confirmed symbol 10a (identification symbol 10 of “7”) (see FIG. 3B), the unit effect Is confirmed to occur. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, when the identification symbol 10 selected from the target identification symbol group 10g and pseudo-stopped is the notice symbol 10b (identification symbol 10 of “3”) (see FIG. 4B). ) Suggests that there is a high probability that unit effects will occur. Hereinafter, this point will be described in detail. In addition, it is an example to the last that the right identification symbol group 10 is made into the object identification symbol group 10g. The other identification symbol group 10 may be set as the object identification symbol group 10g, or all three identification symbol groups 10 may be set as the object identification symbol group 10g. However, as will be described in detail later, it is desirable to set, as the target identification symbol group 10g, the identification symbol group 10 other than the identification symbol group 10 whose variation stops or pseudo-stops at the beginning or at the end at least for the notice symbol 10b. .

  As shown in FIG. 3, when the selected symbol 10 group on the right is selected and the confirmed symbol 10a is pseudo-stopped (see FIG. 3B), it is determined that the unit effect is generated. That is, in this embodiment, the combination of the identification symbols 10 in which the confirmed symbol 10a is pseudo-stopped to the right is set as a predetermined combination indicating that a unit effect is generated. In the present embodiment, when the confirmed symbol 10a is pseudo-stopped to the right, a confirmed effect 30 indicating that a unit effect is generated is executed (see FIG. 3C). The specific aspect of the confirmed effect 30 itself may be any, but the character G set as the accompanying symbol 12 of the confirmed symbol 10a, that is, the specific character 80 that is the same kind of character as the character C It is desirable that the production be performed using In the present embodiment, the specific character 80 is displayed so as to jump out from the accompanying symbol 12 of the confirmed symbol 10 a, and an effect in which the specific character 80 performs a predetermined action is executed as the confirmed effect 30.

  Thereafter, in the present embodiment, a combination of the three identification symbols 10 that are pseudo-stopped including the confirmed symbol 10a is displayed (see FIG. 3 (d)), and the identification symbol 10 group is changed again (see FIG. 3 (e)). . The display as shown in FIG. 3D may not be performed.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, when the notice symbol 10b is selected from the right identification symbol group 10 and pseudo-stops (see FIG. 4B), there is a high probability that a unit effect will occur. Indicated. That is, the probability that the unit effect will occur afterwards is set higher when the notice symbol 10b is pseudo-stopped to the right than when the normal symbol 10n is pseudo-stopped. Thus, the notice symbol 10b functions as a symbol for notifying the occurrence of the unit effect.

  In the present embodiment, when the notice design 10b is selected from the target identification design group 10g and the pseudo-designation is stopped, the branch effect 40 is started (see FIG. 4C). The branch effect 40 indicates whether or not a unit effect is generated depending on the ending. The specific content of the branch effect 40 itself may be any, but the character C set as the accompanying symbol 12 of the notice symbol 10b, that is, the specific character 80 that is the same kind of character as the character G It is desirable that the production be performed using

  As the ending of the branch effect 40, at least an ending indicating that the unit effect occurs (hereinafter referred to as a successful ending 41) and an ending indicating that the unit effect does not occur (hereinafter referred to as a failure ending 42) are set. ing. The branch effect 40 in the present embodiment is an effect in which the character C (specific character 80) is displayed so as to jump out from the accompanying symbol 12 of the notice symbol 10b, and the character C performs a predetermined action. And the aspect of the successful ending 41 is the same as the aspect of the above-mentioned finalized effect 30 (see the left side of FIG. 5A). That is, since the confirmed effect 30 is set as an effect indicating that the unit effect is generated, the unit effect is generated by making the mode of the successful ending 41 in the branch effect 40 the same as the mode of the confirmed effect 30. It is easy to understand. When the unit effect occurs, the same design (the confirmed effect 30 and the branch effect 40 succeeds) regardless of whether the confirmed symbol 10a is falsely stopped or the notice symbol 10b is falsely stopped. The production which is also the ending 41) is executed. It can be said that this can be done because the branch effect 40 and the confirmed effect 30 are effects using the specific character 80.

  After the successful ending 41 is executed, a combination of three pseudo-stopped identification symbols 10 including the notice symbol 10b is displayed (see the left side of FIG. 5 (b)), and the identification symbols 10 group is changed again (FIG. 5 (c). ) See left side). The display as shown on the left side of FIG. 5B may not be performed.

  On the other hand, any form of the failure ending 42 (see the right side of FIG. 5A) may be used. Since the success ending 41 is not executed, the player can recognize that the unit effect has not occurred. When the failure ending 42 is executed, the identification symbol 10 stops in a manner indicating a loss (see the right side of FIG. 5B), and it is notified that it is a failure. Thereafter, an effect (notification of the next identification symbol 10) for notifying the next determination result is started (see the right side of FIG. 5C).

  As described above, in the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the plurality of types of identification symbols 10 include the notice symbol 10b that suggests that there is a high probability that a unit effect will occur. That is, an interesting effect that a unit effect is not only indicated by a predetermined combination including the confirmed symbol 10a but also that a unit effect is generated by the notice symbol 10b (a notice effect of a continuous effect). Can be performed.

  Further, the character G of the accompanying symbol 12 included in the confirmed symbol 10a and the character C of the accompanying symbol 12 included in the notice symbol 10b are the same type of character (specific character 80). Therefore, it is possible to easily understand that the confirmed symbol 10a and the notice symbol 10b are both symbols related to the pseudo continuous effect 20. In particular, in the present embodiment, the characters A, B, and D to F other than the character C and the character G are different from each other (only the character C and the character G are the same type of character). It is emphasized that the character G is the same kind of character.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as the object identification symbol group 10g which is the identification symbol group 10 other than the identification symbol group 10 whose fluctuation is stopped or pseudo-stopped first or last, the notice symbol 10b included in the target identification symbol group 10g is used. This is used to foresee the occurrence of the pseudo-continuous production 20. The advantages of doing so are as follows.

  Since the identification symbol 10 (group) that stops or quasi-stops first becomes a reference indicating the determination result, it is not preferable to use the identification symbol 10 (group) to indicate that there is a high probability that a unit effect will occur. In addition, since the identification symbol 10 (group) that stops or pseudo-stops last appears to the player as if the result of the determination of success / failure has been confirmed, it is highly probable that a unit effect will be generated using this. It is less preferred to show. Therefore, it is preferable to indicate that there is a high probability of occurrence using the identification symbol 10 (group) that stops or pseudo-stops at the beginning and end.

  Hereinafter, a modified example (improved example) of the above embodiment will be described. In addition, it is good also as a structure applied combining each example demonstrated below.

First Modification As shown in FIG. 6, when the unit effect is generated after the notice symbol 10 b is pseudo-stopped (see FIG. 6A) and the probability that the unit effect is generated is high. The combination of symbols may be changed to a combination of identification symbols 10 including the confirmed symbol 10a (see FIG. 6C). That is, after the notice symbol 10b indicates that there is a high probability that a unit effect will occur, the combination of the identification symbols 10 is intentionally changed to one that includes the confirmed symbol 10a in order to indicate that the unit effect occurs. Thus, the occurrence of the unit effect may be made easy to understand. In this case, it is preferable to change what was the notice symbol 10b to the fixed symbol 10a. Since the notice symbol 10b changes to the fixed symbol 10a, it is possible to make it easier to understand that the unit effect is generated.

  However, this example does not deny changing the identification symbol 10 again without changing the combination after falsely stopping the notice symbol 10b.

Second Modification The same technical idea as in the above embodiment can be applied to a so-called pre-reading effect. Since the prefetch continuous production itself is well known, detailed description thereof is omitted. However, the prefetch continuous production has a certain success / failure determination result when notifying a certain success / failure determination result (hereinafter also referred to as a target success / failure determination result). Using an effect for notifying one or a plurality of success / failure determination results (hereinafter, also referred to as previous success / failure determination results) in which the notification is completed before that is likely to be a big hit It is a suggestion.

  In such a pre-reading continuous production, the combination of the identification symbols 10 for notifying the previous determination result is a predetermined combination (hereinafter also referred to as a pre-read suggestion combination), so that the target determination result is a big hit. Some suggest a high probability of becoming. As a unit effect of one time, it is suggested that there is a high probability that the target success / failure determination result is a big hit depending on the number of occurrences. In this kind of pre-reading continuous production, a combination including the fixed symbol 10a is set as a pre-read suggestion combination, that is, a combination in which the occurrence of the unit production is confirmed. Then, the combination including the notice symbol 10b is set as a combination having a high probability of generating a unit effect. That is, when a combination including the notice symbol 10b occurs, the pre-read suggestion combination including the fixed symbol 10a may be changed or the pre-read suggestion combination may not be changed.

  As mentioned above, although one 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.
