Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine, and more particularly, to an effect executed based on a result of determination as to whether or not to perform a special game advantageous to a player.

  Conventionally, in a pachinko machine with a game area in which a game ball can flow down and a start opening and a big prize opening are provided, a big hit determination is made when the game ball wins the start opening and the start condition is satisfied. When winning in the big win (determined as “big win”), a special game is normally performed to open the closed big winning opening, and depending on the number of game balls won in the big winning opening there A considerable number of game balls can be obtained.

  Each time the start condition is met and a big hit determination is made, the special symbol changes and then it is displayed to stop at the determination symbol indicating the result of the big hit determination. The symbol stops and wins, and then a special game is played, but when the special symbol fluctuates, a game effect based on the result of the jackpot determination is executed using various effect devices including an image display Therefore, the game play and the game interest can be enhanced.

  In this game effect, in general, an effect symbol sequence (either a big bonus symbol sequence or a lost symbol sequence) indicating the result of the jackpot determination after a plurality of effect symbols have changed so as to synchronize with the change / stop of special symbols. It is displayed to stop at, but when winning in the big hit judgment and when winning in the big hit judgment, the production design (special design) fluctuates in a relatively long time (30 seconds to 60 seconds, etc.) In the meantime, an effect that expects a big hit is executed (for example, Patent Document 1).

  As an effect to expect this big hit, for example, as shown in Patent Document 1 (FIGS. 15 and 16), after a plurality of effect symbols start changing, the two effect symbols temporarily stop at the same symbol, Reachability (which stops at the jackpot symbol sequence) is reached, and then a reach effect that increases the expectation of winning the jackpot is executed, and when the reach effect ends, a plurality of performance symbols become a jackpot symbol sequence or lose The production of stopping at the symbol sequence is well known.

And control information is output to the effect control board 23.

  As shown in FIG. 5, each means 40-46, 52-55, 60 of illustration is comprised mainly by the computer of the game control board 21. As shown in FIG.

  The random number updating means 40 is a jackpot random number for determining whether or not to play a special game, a jackpot symbol random number for determining a jackpot symbol, a reach random number for determining whether or not to reach a reach state, and a special symbol The fluctuation pattern random numbers for determining the fluctuation pattern (fluctuation time) are sequentially updated every minute time within the set range.

  The symbol information acquisition means 41 is a jackpot random number updated by the random number update means 40 when the acquisition condition is established when the number of first special symbol hold is less than 4 when the game ball wins the first starting port 10, Acquires a jackpot symbol random number, a reach random number, and a variation pattern random number as a set of first special symbol information, and is acquired when the number of second special symbol hold is less than 4 when the game ball wins the second starting port 11a When the condition is satisfied, the big hit random number, the big hit symbol random number, the reach random number, and the variation pattern random number updated by the random number updating unit 40 are acquired as a set of second special symbol information.

  The special symbol information acquired by the symbol information acquisition unit 41 is stored (suspended) in the special symbol information storage unit 42, and the number of the first special symbol information stored in the special symbol information storage unit 42 is the first special symbol reservation. The number of the second special symbol information stored in the special symbol information storage means 42 becomes the second special symbol hold number.

  The start condition is established when the first and second special symbols are in the variable stop state and any of the first and second special symbol holding numbers is 1 or more, and is held every time the start condition is established. The special symbol information is erased (suspended) from the special symbol information storage unit 42 for the determination by the special symbol information determination unit 43 one by one. Here, when a plurality of special symbol information is held, the plurality of special symbol information is subjected to the reservation in the order acquired by the symbol information acquisition means 41, provided that the first and second When both of the special symbol information are on hold, the second special symbol information is given priority to the first special symbol information and is put on hold.

  In the special symbol information determining means 43, the jackpot determining means 43a determines whether or not to play a special game advantageous to the player (big hit game) based on the big hit random number of the special symbol information that has been suspended due to the establishment of the start condition. The symbol determining means 43b determines (determines) a lost symbol when the jackpot determining means 43a determines not to perform a special game, and the symbol determining means 43b determines that a special game is performed by the jackpot determining means 43a. The jackpot symbol is determined (determined) based on the jackpot symbol random number of the special symbol information.

  Specifically, first, the jackpot determination means 43a determines whether or not to play a special game based on the jackpot random number, using either the low probability table or the high probability table as the jackpot determination table shown in FIG. . When “low accuracy / non-time-short state” or “low accuracy / time-short state” is set, the big hit random number is about 1/400 of the big hit specific value (3,247...) Using the low accuracy table. If it matches any of them, it is determined that a special game is to be performed, and when the `` high probability / short time state '' is set, the big hit random number is a ratio of about 1/68 with a big hit random value (3, If it matches any one of 7, ...), it is determined that a special game is to be performed.

  If it is determined that a special game is to be performed, the symbol determining means 43b then selects one of a plurality of types of jackpot symbols (the jackpot symbols A to E shown in FIG. 7) based on the jackpot symbol random number. decide. In this case, if the special symbol information is the first special symbol information, the type of jackpot symbol is determined at the selection rate defined by the first symbol determination table shown in FIG. 7, and the special symbol information is the second special symbol information. In the case of symbol information, the type of jackpot symbol is determined at a selection rate defined by the second symbol determination table shown in FIG. The open / close pattern of the big winning openings 13a, 14a during the special game is determined according to the determined type of the big hit symbol.

  When the special symbol information determining unit 43 determines that the special game is not performed based on the jackpot random number of the special symbol determination information by the jackpot determining unit 43a, the reach determining unit 43c is based on the reach random number of the special symbol information. To determine (determine) whether or not to reach the reach state.

  In the special symbol information determining means 43, the fluctuation pattern determining means 43d is a result of determination by the big hit determining means 43a and the symbol determining means 43b based on the special symbol determining information (any one of the determined lost symbols or jackpot symbols A to E). ), The variation pattern (variation time) of the special symbol is determined (determined) based on the determination result by the reach determination means 43c (whether or not to reach the reach state), the variation pattern random number of the special symbol determination information.

  The special symbol display control means 44 starts the variable display of the first special symbol when the first special symbol information has been suspended and the second special symbol information has been suspended. As a trigger, the variation display of the second special symbol is started, and the variation time and the special symbol defined by the variation pattern determined by the variation pattern determination unit 43d are variably displayed, and then the big hit determination unit 43a and the symbol are displayed. The determination symbol (one of the lost symbol or the big hit symbol A to E) indicating the determination result by the determination means 43b is stopped and displayed.

  When the special game executing means 45 determines that the special game is to be performed by the big hit determining means 43a, the special symbol display control means 44 determines the determination symbol indicating the determination result, that is, the big hit symbol A determined by the symbol determining means 43b. After any one of -E is stopped and displayed, the special winning game is performed by opening and closing the special winning openings 13a and 14a in an open pattern corresponding to the type of the big hit symbol. As shown in FIG. 8, the opening / closing patterns of the big winning openings 13a, 14a are set as shown according to the type of the big winning symbol.

  In the special games A to E respectively corresponding to the jackpot symbols A to E, any of the R games ("R" is a round) that activates one of the first and second big prize winning openings 13a and 14a. Is set to 16R (16 times), specifically, an interval time (2 seconds) in which both the first and second prize winning openings 13a and 14a between R are closed is set, and 1R to 4R Each R of 6R to 15R performs a normal R for operating the first big prize opening 13a in an open state, and each R of 5R and 16R performs a specific R for operating the second big prize opening 14a in an open state.

  In the special game A which is 7R long-term opening + 9R short-term opening shown in FIG. 8 (1), each R of 1R to 4R and 6R to 8R becomes long-term opening, and each other R becomes short-term opening, as shown in FIG. 8 (2). In special games B and C that are 8R long-term opening + 8R short-term opening, each R of 1R to 8R is long-term opening and each other R is short-term opening, and the special long-term opening shown in FIGS. In games D and E, each R of 1R to 16R is open for a long time.

  R, which is open for a long time, starts when one of the big winning openings 13a, 14a is opened, and a first specified number (for example, 10) of game balls wins, or a first specified time (for example, After 30 seconds), one of the open prize winning openings 13a and 14a is closed and the process ends. On the other hand, when R is short-term open, one of the special prize winning openings 13a and 14a is opened and started. When a second specified number (for example, 10) of game balls wins, or when the second specified time (for example, 0.1 second) elapses, one of the open large winning openings 13a and 14a is opened. Closed and terminated.

  In the special game D, in the 9R long-term opening, the first grand prize opening 13a is opened 8 times at intervals of 2 seconds (0.1 second opening), and then the first big prize opening 13a is opened for a long time. Therefore, the opening / closing pattern until the 16th R of the special games B and C ends and the opening / closing pattern until the 8th short-term opening of the 9R of the special game D are the same look.

  The special game A (7R long-term opening + 9R) can be aimed at the big winning openings 13a, 14a (the game ball flows down the right side of the center role 16 in the game area 4a), and the so-called right hit is made. About 875 game balls can be acquired in the short-term release), about 1000 game balls can be acquired in the special games B and C (8R long-term release + 8R short-term open), and about 8,000 game balls in the special games D and E (16 long-term open) 2000 game balls can be acquired.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 9 (1), in the specific R (5R / 16 / 16R) that is short-term open, 1 second after the start of the short-term open of 0.1 second of the second big prize opening 14a, The specific area 14e is opened and closed one second after the opening, so that it is very unlikely that the game ball will win the second big prize opening 14a and further pass through the specific area 14e.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 9 (2), in the specific R (5R / 16 / 16R) that will be opened for a long time, the second big prize opening 14a is opened for a short period of 0.1 seconds once and then opened for a long time. 1 second after the start of the 0.1 second short-term opening of the second big prize opening 14a, the specific area 14e is opened and closed with the end of the long-term opening of the second big prize opening 14a. The possibility that the game ball wins the second grand prize opening 14a and further passes through the specific area 14e is extremely high.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1, a “high accuracy / short time state” is set after the special game is completed on condition that the game ball passes through the specific area 14e during the execution of the special game. After the end of special game A in which all of the specified Rs are open for a short period of time, the “high-probability / short-time state” is not set. "Accurate / short-time state" is set.

  The predetermination means 46 acquires the special symbol information by the symbol information acquisition means 41 before the special symbol information stored in the special symbol information storage means 42 is determined by the special symbol information determination means 43. When this is done, for the special symbol information, determination equivalent to the determination by the special symbol information determination means 43 (big hit determination means 43a, symbol determination means 43b, reach determination means 43c, variation pattern determination means 43d) (ie, Determination of whether or not to play a special game, determination of any of the lost symbols and jackpot symbols A to E, determination of whether or not to reach a reach state, determination of the variation pattern of the special symbol) are performed in advance.

  On the other hand, the random number updating means 40 sequentially updates the hit random number for determining whether or not to perform the auxiliary game every minute time within the set range. The symbol information acquisition unit 41 acquires the winning random number updated by the random number update unit 40 as normal symbol information when the acquisition condition is satisfied when the number of normal symbol holds is less than 4 when the game ball passes the gate 12. To do. The normal symbol information acquired by the symbol information acquisition means 41 is stored (suspended) in the normal symbol information storage means 52, and the number of normal symbol information stored in the normal symbol information storage means 52 becomes the number of normal symbol reservations.

  When the normal symbol is in the variable stop state and the number of normal symbols held is 1 or more, the start condition is established, and each time the start condition is satisfied, the held normal symbol information is sequentially one normal symbol information determination means. For the determination by 53, the normal symbol information storage means 52 erases (holds erase). Here, when a plurality of pieces of normal symbol information are put on hold, the plurality of pieces of normal symbol information are put on hold for digestion in the order obtained by the symbol information obtaining means 41.

  The normal symbol information determining means 53 determines whether or not to perform an auxiliary game advantageous to the player, based on the normal symbol information suspended and digested when the start condition is established. The normal symbol display control means 54 starts the normal symbol fluctuation display when the normal symbol information is suspended and holds when the start condition is satisfied, and then the determination symbol indicating the determination result by the normal symbol information determination means 53. To stop display. When it is determined by the normal symbol information determining unit 53 that the auxiliary game executing unit 55 determines to perform the auxiliary game, the normal symbol display control unit 54 stops and displays the determination symbol indicating the determination result, that is, the winning symbol. An auxiliary game is performed by opening and closing the second start port 11a.

  Regarding the specific processing of the normal symbol information determination means 53, the normal symbol display control means 54, and the auxiliary game execution means 55, as shown in FIG. 10, "low accuracy / non-short time state" ("low operation mode") is set. If it is, it is determined that the auxiliary game is performed at a rate of about 1/10, the normal symbol is displayed in a 12-second fluctuation, and the second start port 11a is opened once for 0.1 second in the auxiliary game. On the other hand, when “low accuracy / short time state” or “high accuracy / short time state” (“high operation mode”) is set, it is determined that the auxiliary game is played at a rate of about 10/10, The normal symbol is displayed in a variable manner for 0.5 seconds, and the second starting port 11a is opened three times in the auxiliary game three times.

  The gaming state control means 60 alternatively sets one of a plurality of gaming states (“low accuracy / non-time short state”, “low accuracy / short time state”, “high accuracy / short time state” shown in FIG. 11). The game is controlled in the gaming state. When the power is turned on, the gaming state set at the time of the previous power-off is set continuously, and when the so-called RAM clear is executed at the time of power-on, the “low-probability / non-time-short state” is set.

  As shown in FIG. 11, when “low probability / non-short-time state” or “low-probability / short time state” is set, the probability that the big hit determination means 43 a determines that the special game is performed is set to a low probability. When “high accuracy / short time state” is set, a high probability is set. Further, when the “low accuracy / non-time-short state” is set as the second start port operation mode for operating the second start port 11a, the “low operation mode” in which it is difficult to operate the second start port 11a in the open state. Is set, and when the “low accuracy / short time state” or “high accuracy / short time state” is set, the “high operation mode” is set to easily operate the second start port 11a in the open state.

  The game state control means 60 sets the “low-probability / non-time-short state” when the special game is being executed by the special game execution means 45. As shown in FIG. On the condition that the game ball won in 14a has passed through the specific area 14e (that is, V winning is present), after setting the special game, “high accuracy / short time state” is set, and then the special symbol display When the number of fluctuations of the special symbol at 19a and 19b exceeds 150, the setting is changed from the “high accuracy / short time state” to the “low accuracy / non-time short state”. Further, when a special game is being played by the special game execution means 45, if the game ball does not pass through the specific area 14e (that is, there is no V prize), after the special game is finished, the “low-probability / short-time state” After that, when the number of fluctuations of the special symbol exceeds 100, the setting is changed from “low accuracy / short time state” to “low accuracy / non-time short state”.

Here, the variation pattern of the special symbol will be described in detail.
As shown in FIG. 13 (1), the types of variation patterns of special symbols are broadly divided into jackpot variation patterns, loss variation patterns, and reach variation variation patterns. For example, as shown in FIGS. The big hit variation pattern includes variation patterns 1 to 6, the loss variation pattern includes variation patterns 11 and 12, and the reach loss variation pattern includes variation patterns 13 to 17, respectively. Note that the variation patterns 1 to 6 are different from each other in the defined variation times, and similarly, the variation patterns 11 to 17 are different from each other in the defined variation times.

  The variation pattern determination means 43d, when the jackpot determination means 43a determines that a special game is to be performed, any one of the variation patterns 1 to 6 based on the type of the big hit symbol determined by the symbol determination means 43b and the variation pattern random number. The big hit variation pattern is determined. Further, when it is determined that the special game is not performed by the big hit determination unit 43a, or when it is determined that the reach determination unit 43c does not enter the reach state, the variation pattern is based on the special symbol holding number and the variation pattern random number. 11 or 12 is determined, and if the reach determination means 43c determines that the reach state is reached, the loss reach change pattern of any of the change patterns 13 to 17 is determined based on the change pattern random number. To decide.

  When the “low accuracy / non-short-time state” is set, one variation pattern among the variation patterns 1 to 6 and 11 to 17 shown in FIG. 13 is changed to the big hit variation pattern, the loss variation pattern, and the reach loss variation. It is determined as one of the variation patterns, and when “low accuracy / short time state” or “high accuracy / short time state” is set, at least a part of the variation patterns 1 to 6 and 11 to 17 shown in FIG. One variation pattern may be determined as any one of the big hit variation pattern, the loss variation pattern, and the reach loss variation pattern from among the plurality of variation patterns having different values.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 5, the effect control means 70 (design variation effect control means 71, special game effect control means 72) is composed of the effect control board 23, the image control board 24, and the lamp control board 25. The effect control means 70 and the effect means 80 (image display device 17, movable accessory device 18, speaker 27, lamps 28a, 28b) controlled by the effect control means 70 are determined by the special symbol information determination means 43. On the basis of the result, depending on the case, an effect execution means 90 capable of executing a predetermined effect based on the result of determination by the prior determination means 46 is configured.

  When the special symbol is variably displayed, the symbol variation effect control means 71 is the effect pattern selected according to the variation pattern of the special symbol (the effect patterns 1, 2, 3A to 3C, shown in FIG. 13 (2)). 4A-4C, 5, 6 (big hit effect pattern), effect patterns 11, 12 (lost effect pattern), effect patterns 11-14, 15B, 15C, 16B, 16C, 17 (reach lose effect effect pattern)) And the effect change means 80 is made to perform a design change effect by the content shown in FIG.

  The symbol variation effect control means 71 selects which one of the effect patterns 3A to 3C when the variation pattern 3 is selected, which one of the effect patterns 4A to 4C is selected when the variation pattern 4 is, When selecting which of the effect patterns 15B and 15C, or which of the effect patterns 16B and 16C to select when the variation pattern 16 is selected (for example, the variation patterns 3 and 4). (Sometimes taking into account the type of jackpot symbol determined).

  Next, for example, a specific example of the symbol variation effect displayed on the image display device 17 by the symbol variation effect control means 71 when the “low probability / non-short-time state” is set will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 14, (1) from the state where three effect symbols are stopped and displayed in the symbol sequence “123”, (2) the variation display of the three effect symbol sequences 17a is started, and the effect patterns 11 and 12 are displayed. If any of the above is executed ("lost"), (3) the left effect symbol "7" is temporarily stopped and (4) the right effect symbol "3" is temporarily stopped and displayed. The stage design symbols “7” and “3” are in a non-reach state. (5) The center design symbol “6” is temporarily stopped, and (6) The three design symbols are confirmed with the lost symbol sequence “763”. Stopped display.

  When any of the effect patterns 1 and 5 is executed ("big hit"), (3) after the left effect symbol "7" is temporarily stopped, (7) the right effect symbol "7" Is temporarily stopped, the left and right effect symbols “7” and “7” are all in reach, the normal reach effect is performed, (8) the center effect symbol “7” is temporarily stopped, and (9) 3 One effect symbol is confirmed and stopped in the big hit symbol row “777”. When any one of the production patterns 13 and 17 is executed (becomes “lost”), (7) the left and right production symbols “7” and “7” are in a reach state, and a normal reach production is performed. 10) The middle effect symbol “6” is temporarily stopped and (11) three effect symbols are confirmed and stopped in the lost symbol row “767”.

  When any of the production patterns 2, 3 </ b> A to 3 </ b> C is executed (becomes “big hit”), or any of the production patterns 14, 15 </ b> B, 15 </ b> C is executed (becomes “lost”), (7) After reaching the reach state in which the right and left effect symbols “7” and “7” are aligned in the same pattern, an SP reach effect that is a development effect from the normal reach effect is performed, and any of the effect patterns 4A to 4C is executed. (7) If the effect pattern 16B or 16C is executed (becomes “lost”), (7) The left and right effect symbols “7” and “7” After reaching the reach state with the same design, SP / SP reach production which is the development production from the normal reach production is performed.

  “SP” means a special, and the SP reach production is a production with a higher jackpot expectation level (expected degree determined to perform a special game by the jackpot judging means 34a) than the normal reach production, and the SP / SP reach production. Is an effect that has a higher expectation level than the SP reach production.

  As shown in FIG. 15, in the SP reach, (21) the left and right effect symbols “7” and “7”, which are temporarily stopped, are moved to the corners of the screen and reduced in size, and (22) the SP reach effect is displayed. Is done. In this SP reach effect, for example, when a predetermined mission effect is displayed and the effect pattern 2 is executed ("big hit"), the mission effect becomes a success effect, and (23) three effect symbols Is temporarily stopped and displayed in the jackpot symbol string “777”, and then (24) the symbol is displayed in a definite stop state in the jackpot symbol string “777”.

  If any of the effect patterns 3A to 3C, 14, 15B, 15C is executed, the mission effect becomes a failure effect, and (25) three effect symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed in the lost symbol sequence “767”. When the effect pattern 14 is executed (becomes “losing”), (26) the final symbol pattern “767” is confirmed and stopped. When any of the effect patterns 3A to 3C, 15B, and 15C is executed, (25) after the three effect symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed in the lost symbol row “767”, the development effect from the SP reach effect is obtained. SP / SP reach production is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 16, in the SP / SP reach, the center effect symbol displayed temporarily stopped is changed again, and the left and right effect symbols “7” and “7” displayed temporarily stopped are moved to the screen corner side. As a result, the image is reduced and the SP / SP reach effect is displayed. In this SP / S reach production, for example, a battle production in which a predetermined teammate A and enemy actor B fight is displayed. First, (31) the battle between both characters A and B is displayed, and then (32 ) A technique selection effect that causes the teammate A to select the technique of attacking the enemy character B using the effect button SW6a is displayed.

  As shown in (32), in this technique selection effect, “A: Special Move (Kick)”, “B: Medium Attack (Punch)”, and “C: Weak Attack (Chop)” are roulette-like as a plurality of techniques. In addition, a display in which a plurality of techniques are alternatively instructed and the instruction is rotated and switched is displayed. Further, the effect button SW and its operation are displayed as a display prompting the player to operate the effect button SW6a. And the character “PUSH”, and the remaining period (gauge) of the operation effective period in the effect of the effect button SW6a are displayed.

  In the technique selection effect of (32), when the effect button SW6a is operated within the operation effective period or when it is not operated within the operation effective period, at the end of the operation effective period, “A: Special Move”, “B: Either “medium attack” or “C: weak attack” is instructed and selected. If any of the effect patterns 3A, 4A is executed ("big hit"), "A: Special Move" is selected, and any of the effect patterns 3B, 4B, 15B, 16B is executed ( In the case of “big hit” or “losing”), “B: medium attack” is selected, and any of the production patterns 3C, 4C, 15C, 16C is executed (“big hit” or “lost”) In this case, “C: Weak attack” is selected (see FIG. 13).

  As described above, “A: Special Move” is selected only when “Big Hit” is reached. For example, when “Big Hit” is given, “B: Medium Attack” (direction patterns 3B and 4B) is “C: It is easier to select than “weak attack” (direction patterns 3C, 4C), and when “lost”, “C: weak attack” (direction patterns 15C, 16C) than “B: medium attack” (direction patterns 15B, 16B). The big hit expectation differs depending on the selected technique, and the big hit expectation increases in the order of “C: weak attack” → “B: medium attack” → “A: deadly technique”. Then, when “A: Special Move” is selected, the jackpot expectation is 100%, that is, it is a premium technique that is determined to be “Big Win” when “A: Special Move” is selected. .

  When (A1) “A: Special Move” is selected by the technique selection effect of (32), that is, when any of the effect patterns 3A, 4A is being executed (“big hit”), at the time of selection Then, the movable accessory device 18 is actuated, and the movable body 18a moves from the retracted position to the appearance position, and a definite effect is determined that “big hit” is confirmed. Next, (A2) an effect that the ally character A attacks the enemy character B is displayed with the special move, and then (A3) a victory effect that the ally character A defeats the enemy character B and wins is displayed.

  If (B1) “B: medium attack” is selected by the technique selection effect of (32), then the effect that the ally character A attacks the enemy character B with a punch is displayed (B2). , (B3) As a display for prompting the player to operate the effect button SW6a, the effect button SW, the character “Press!” Meaning the operation, and the remaining operation effective period of the effect of the effect button SW6a (gauge) Is displayed.

  When the effect button SW6a is operated within the operation effective period, one of the effect patterns 3B and 4B is executed from the time of the operation or from the end of the operation effective period when the operation button SW6a is not operated within the operation effective period. (B4) When the movable accessory device 18 is actuated to perform a confirmed effect and a victory effect is displayed, on the other hand, one of the effect patterns 15B and 16B is executed ( In the case of “losing”), (B5) a defeat effect in which the ally character A is defeated by the enemy character B is displayed.

  When (C1) “C: Weak attack” is selected by the technique selection effect of (32), next, the effect that the ally character A attacks the enemy character B with the (C2) chop is displayed. , (C3) As a display for prompting the player to operate the effect button SW6a, the effect button SW, the character “Press!” Meaning the operation, and the remaining operation effective period of the effect of the effect button SW6a (gauge) Is displayed.

  When the effect button SW6a is operated within the operation effective period, one of the effect patterns 3C and 4C is executed from the time of the operation or from the end of the operation effective period when the operation button SW6a is not operated within the operation effective period. (C4) When the movable accessory device 18 is actuated and a confirmed effect is performed and a victory effect is displayed, any one of the effect patterns 15C and 16C is executed ( In the case of “losing”, (C5) defeat effect is displayed.

  When (A3), (B4), and (C4) win effects are displayed, (33) the three effect symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed in the jackpot symbol row “777”, and (34) the jackpot symbol row “777”. On the other hand, when (B5) (C5) defeat effect is displayed, (35) three effect symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed in the losing symbol row “767”, and then (36) the losing effect is displayed. The symbol string “767” is confirmed and stopped. If any of the production patterns 3B, 3C, 4B, 4C is performed ("big hit"), the defeat production of (B5) (C5) is displayed once, and (35) three production symbols Is temporarily stopped and displayed in the lost symbol row “767”, and then the (33) jackpot symbol row “777” is temporarily stopped and displayed, that is, a rebirth effect is performed, and the jackpot symbol row “777” is displayed. A fixed stop may be displayed.

  When the special game is being performed, the special game effect control means 72 plays the special game with the effect pattern selected according to the type of the special game (any one of the special games A to E shown in FIG. 8). A special game effect that is raised is performed. The special game effect is an opening effect that is performed before the start of the first R game, an R game effect that is performed during the execution of the R game (including the interval time), and the end of the last R game. It consists of an ending production to be performed later.

  Here, in the SP / SP reach effect of the symbol variation effect shown in FIG. 16, the effect that both characters A and B of (31) attack and prevent, the skill selection effect of (32), and (A1) / (B1) / ( The production in which the technique of C1) is selected is the “predetermined pre-stage production”, the production of prompting the operation of the production button SW6a of (B3) / (C3), and the movable accessory device 18 of (B4) / (C4) The confirmed effect that operates and the winning effect (especially including (B3) / (C3)) are defined as “winning effects”, and the confirmed effect that the movable accessory device 18 (A1) / (B4) / (C4) is activated. “Specific production”.

  Then, as shown in FIGS. 17 (1) and (2), the effect execution means 90 performs a predetermined preceding stage effect (FIGS. 16 (31) (32) (A1) / (31) (32) (B1) / (31 ) (32) (C1)) can be executed, and as shown in FIG. 17 (1), the preceding stage (FIG. 16 (31) (32) (B1) / (31) (32) (C1)) Later, when performing a winning effect (FIGS. 16 (B3) (B4) / (C3) (C4)) that suggests whether or not a special game will be held, as shown in FIG. 17 (2), the preceding stage effect After (FIG. 16 (31) (32) (A1)), there is a case where the winning effect (FIG. 16 (B3) (B4) / (C3) (C4))) is not executed, as shown in FIG. 17 (1). Thus, the movable accessory device 18 of the specific effect (FIG. 16 (B4) / (C4)) suggesting that a special game is performed in the winning effect (FIG. 16 (B3) (B4) / (C3) (C4)). 17) can be executed, and, as shown in FIG. 17 (2), after the preceding stage (FIGS. 16 (31) (32) (A1)), the winning effect (FIGS. 16 (B3) (B4) / (C3) If (C4)) is not executed, In the production (FIGS. 16 (31) (32) (A1)), the specific production (operation of the movable accessory device 18 in FIG. 16 (A1)) can be executed.

  Further, in the SP / SP reach production shown in FIG. 16, if the technique selection effect of (32) and the effect of selecting the technique of (A1) / (B1) / (C1) are “predetermined suggestion effects”, As shown in FIGS. 17 (1) and 17 (2), the effect execution means 90 performs the preceding effect (FIGS. 16 (31) (32) (A1) / (31) (32) (B1) / (31) (32) (C1)), a predetermined suggestion effect (FIGS. 16 (32) (A1) / (32) (B1) / (32) (C1)) can be executed, and as shown in FIG. When the winning effect (FIG. 16 (B3) (B4) / (C3) (C4)) is not executed after (FIG. 16 (31) (32) (A1)), the suggested effect (FIG. 16 (32) (A1)) ), The specific effect (the operation of the movable accessory device 18 in FIG. 16A1) can be executed when the suggestion effect (FIG. 16 (32) (A1)) is executed.

  Also, in the SP / SP reach production shown in FIG. 16, the production in which the ally character A attacks the enemy character B with the selected technique of (A2) / (B2) / (C2) is set as a “predetermined latter stage production”. Assuming that the effect that the ally character A attacks the enemy Cactor B with the special technique of (A2) is “specific post-stage effect”, the effect execution means 90, as shown in FIGS. 16 (32) (A1) / (32) (B1) / (32) (C1)) can be followed by a predetermined rear stage effect (FIG. 16 (A2) / (B2) / (C2)) The latter stage production (FIG. 16 (A2) / (B2) / (C2)) includes a plurality of later stage productions (FIG. 16 (A2) / (B2) / (C2)) with different production modes (techniques). As shown in FIG. 17 (2), when the winning effect (FIG. 16 (B3) (B4) / (C3) (C4)) is not executed after the preceding stage effect (FIG. 16 (31) (32) (A1)) After the suggestion effect (Fig. 16 (32) (A1)), a plurality of subsequent effects (Fig. 16 (A2) / (B2) / (C2)) Subsequent effect of the constant (FIG. 16 (A2)) is performed easily.

  That is, in the SP / SP reach production shown in FIG. 16, if the production in which the ally character A attacks the enemy actor B with the (A2) Special Move is “predetermined downstream production”, the production execution means 90 is shown in FIG. 1) As shown in (2), the pre-stage effects (FIGS. 16 (31) (32)) including the predetermined suggestion effects (FIGS. 16 (32) (A1) / (32) (B1) / (32) (C1)) ) (A1) / (31) (32) (B1) / (31) (32) (C1)) can be executed, and as shown in FIG. 17 (1), the first stage production (FIG. 16 (31) ( 32) (B1) / (31) (32) (C1)) followed by a winning effect (Fig. 16 (B3) (B4) / (C3) (C4)) that suggests whether or not a special game will be held When executed, as shown in FIG. 17 (2), after the first stage effect (FIGS. 16 (31) (32) (A1)), the winning effect (FIGS. 16 (B3) (B4) / (C3) (C4 ))) May not be executed, and as shown in Fig. 17 (1), a specific suggesting that a special game is performed in the winning performance (Fig. 16 (B3) (B4) / (C3) (C4)) Performance Can be executed, and as shown in FIG. 17 (2), the winning effect is shown after the preceding stage (FIGS. 16 (31) (32) (A1)). When (FIG. 16 (B3) (B4) / (C3) (C4)) is not executed, the suggested effect (FIG. 16 (32) (A1)) in the preceding stage effect (FIG. 16 (31) (32) (A1)) ), A specific effect (actual action of FIG. 16 (A1)) can be executed, and the suggested effect (FIG. 16 (32) in FIG. 16 (31) (32) (A1)). After (A1)), a predetermined latter stage effect (FIG. 16 (A2)) can be executed.

  Further, in the SP / SP reach production shown in FIG. 16, an effect in which the ally character A attacks the enemy character B with the punch (B2) and an effect in which the ally character A attacks the enemy character B with the chop in (C2). If at least one of them is a “specific rear stage production”, the production execution means 90, as shown in FIG. 17 (1), the previous stage production (FIGS. 16 (31) (32) (B1) / (31) (32) ( C1)), when the winning effect (FIGS. 16 (B3) (B4) / (C3) (C4)) is executed, the preceding effect (FIGS. 16 (31) (32) (B1) / (31) (32 ) (C1)) After the suggestion effect (FIG. 16 (32) (B1) / (32) (C1)), a specific later effect (FIG. 16 (A2)) different from the predetermined later effect (FIG. 16 (A2)). B2) / (C2)) can be executed.

  By the way, in this embodiment, it is executed when the winning effect (FIGS. 16 (B3) (B4) / (C3) (C4)) is not executed after the preceding effect (FIGS. 16 (31) (32) (A1)). After the suggested effect (FIG. 16 (32) (A1)), the specific latter stage effect (FIG. 16 (A2)) is always executed (at a rate of 100%). A2)) is easier to execute than the post stage effects (FIG. 16 (B2) / (C2)) other than the specific one.

  Note that the winning effect (FIGS. 16 (B3) (B4) / (C3) (C4)) is not executed after the preceding stage effects of FIGS. 16 (31) (32) (B1) / (31) (32) (C1). There is a time, suggestion effect (Figure 16 (32) (B1) / (32) (C1)) executed when the latter stage effect (Figures 16 (B3) (B4) / (C3) (C4)) is not executed) After that, it is possible to execute a post-stage effect (FIG. 16 (B2) / (C2)) other than a specific one, provided that the execution ratio is set appropriately and the pre-stage effect (FIG. 16 (31) (32) (A1 ) / (31) (32) (B1) / (31) (32) (C1)) is executed when the winning effect (FIG. 16 (B3) (B4) / (C3) (C4)) is not executed) After the suggested effect (FIGS. 16 (32) (A1) / (32) (B1) / (32) (C1)), the specific later stage effect (FIG. 16 (A2)) is the latter stage effect (see FIG. 16). 16 (B2) / (C2)).

  In addition, the winning effect (FIG. 16 (B3) (B4) / (C3) (C4)) is executed after the preceding effect (FIGS. 16 (31) (32) (B1) / (31) (32) (C1))). If a post-stage effect (FIG. 16 (B2) / (C2)) other than a specific effect is executed after the suggestion effect (FIG. 16 (32) (B1) / (32) (C1)) executed when not When an effect pattern that is a “hit” is being executed, a specific effect (operation of the movable accessory device 18) is performed when the suggested effect (FIG. 16 (32) (B1) / (32) (C1)) is executed. May be executed.

The operational effects of the pachinko gaming machine 1 described above will be described.
When the player operates the launch handle 7 and is in a “low-probability / non-time-short state”, the game ball is allowed to fall on the left side of the center accessory 16 and win the first starting port 10. The game ball falls on the right side of the center object 16 when it is in a “low accuracy / short time state”, “high accuracy / short time state”, or when a special game is being performed. Then, a game is played by so-called right-handed hitting of a game ball so that the second starting port 11a, the gate 12, and the first and second big winning ports 13a and 14a can be won.

  When the player is in the “low-probability / non-short-time state”, first, a lot of game balls win the first starting port 10 and the winning rate that can be received when the game balls win the first starting port 10 is low. The special game is performed by winning the special game lottery of probability, and the special game at that time is either the special game A or B (FIG. 8), so the special game B is performed and the game ball is A game can be played with the expectation that it will pass through the specific area 14e and become a “highly accurate / short time state” after the special game is over. When the special game A is performed, since the game ball does not pass through the specific area 14e, the “low probability / short time state” is set after the special game ends.

  After the special game is over, when the state of “low accuracy / short time” is reached, the number of changes of the special symbol reaches 100 times, and when the state of “high accuracy / short time state” is reached, the number of changes of the special symbol is 150 times. Each of the game balls is in a state where it is easy to win the second starting port 11a until reaching the above, so that it is possible to receive the special game lottery while substantially maintaining the owned game balls. In addition, in the case of “Low Probability / Time Short State” and “High Precise Time Short State”, the special symbol lottery will be shortened in many cases when the special symbol lottery is not won. Will be performed one after another.

  In the case of “Low Probability / Short Time State”, a special game lottery with a low probability of winning by winning a game ball in the second starting port 11a before the number of times the special symbol fluctuates exceeds 100 times. When the special game is performed, that is, the special game at that time is one of the special games C to E (FIG. 8), and the game ball passes through the specific area 14e regardless of which special game is performed. Therefore, after the special game is completed, the game becomes “highly accurate / short-time state”, that is, upgraded to the most advantageous game state, and further one of the special games D and E that can acquire more game balls is performed. You can play games with the expectation that If the number of changes in the special symbol exceeds 100 without winning in the special game lottery, the state becomes “low-probability / non-time-short state”.

  When it is in the “high accuracy / short time state”, the winning rate will be won by winning a special game lottery with a high probability of winning by winning the game ball at the second starting port 11a before the number of fluctuations of the special symbol exceeds 150 times. When the special game is performed, that is, the special game at that time is one of the special games C to E (FIG. 8) as in the case of the “low-probability / short-time state”. Since the game ball passes through the specific area 14e even if the game is performed, it becomes a “high-precision / short-time state” after the special game ends, that is, the most advantageous game state continues, and more game balls are acquired. A game can be performed in the hope that one of the possible special games D and E will be performed. If the number of fluctuations of the special symbol exceeds 150 without winning in the special game lottery, it becomes “low-probability / non-short-time state”.

  Now, when a special game lottery is performed, the special game lottery is displayed after the special symbol has been variably displayed for the time specified by the fluctuation pattern (FIG. 13) determined based on the lottery result. The symbol or any one of the jackpots A to E) is stopped and displayed, but when the special symbol is variably displayed, the symbol variation effect is produced using the effect means 80 and the effect pattern corresponding to the variation pattern of the special symbol. Since it is executed in (FIG. 13 (2)), the playability of the pachinko gaming machine 1 and the game entertainment are enhanced by this symbol variation effect.

  As shown in FIG. 18, in the symbol variation effect, the player mainly looks at the display on the image display device 17, and after a plurality of effect symbols (special symbols) start to change, first, the player enters a reach state. Next, when the reach state is reached, the normal reach production is performed, but the SP reach production with a higher degree of jackpot expectation is performed from the normal production, and further the SP / higher expectation degree from the normal production or the SP reach production is higher. A game can be performed in the hope that an SP reach performance will be performed, and in the end, a special game will be performed.

  In this embodiment, in the SP / SP reach effect of the symbol variation effect, some of the pre-stage effects (including some specific effects) including the suggestive effects shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, the post-stage effects, and the winning effects including the specific effects. A special effect that combines these effects is applied.

  Specifically, in the SP / SP reach production (specific production), as shown in FIG. 16, the teammate character A attacks the enemy actor B with the selected technique from the start of the SP / SP reach production (the latter stage). In the pre-stage production until the production) is started, a suggestion effect for selecting a technique is executed, and in this suggestion effect, the technique is selected when the effect button SW6a is operated. The production button SW6a can be operated with the expectation that a technique with a higher value (a medium attack of B than a weak attack of C and a C deadly technique of B) will be selected.

  In this suggestion effect, when A's Special Move is selected as in (A1), at that stage (at the same time as the selection, slightly before or after the selection), the movable accessory device 18 Since the action of the movable accessory device 18 is a finalized effect (specific effect) that is determined to be a “hit”, the player next moves his character A to the enemy character B as a special move. From the early stage before the stage of attacking is executed, it is possible to see the final stage and know that it will be a “hit” and be delighted. Therefore, the player is executed after the suggestion effect including the final effect is executed, and the ally character A attacks the enemy character B with a special move, defeats the enemy character B, and wins and becomes a “hit”. You can see the production with peace of mind.

  On the other hand, if the B punch or C chop is selected in the suggestion effect as in (B1) or (C1), the final effect in which the movable accessory device 18 operates is not executed at that stage. Therefore, the player performs after the suggestion effect not including the final effect is executed, and the ally character A attacks the enemy character B with the punch or chop, defeats the enemy character B, and wins and wins “big hit”. It can be seen in the expectation that it will win and become a “hit”, as it will be defeated by the enemy character B and defeated to become “losing”.

  In this case, a winning effect is executed to indicate whether or not a “hit” will occur between the time when the ally character A attacks the enemy character B with a punch or chop and before a plurality of effect symbols are displayed to be confirmed and stopped. In the winning effect, when the effect button SW6a is operated, if it is a “hit”, a definite effect (specific effect) in which the movable accessory device 18 is activated is executed and the game is won, resulting in “losing”. In this case, since the movable accessory device 18 does not operate (the finalized effect is not executed), the player loses. Therefore, the player expects that the finalized effect will be executed and won and will be a “hit”, and the effect button SW6a. Can be operated.

  In this way, in the SP / SP reach production, the player can first expect the specific production to be executed in the suggestion production, and even if the specific production is not executed in the suggestion production, The symbol variation effect including the specific effect that can be expected to be executed by the winning effect is novel and can further enhance the effect. In particular, if the specific effect can be usually executed in the winning effect (often executed), the specific effect executed in the suggestion effect has a strong impact on the player, and the player It will be a dramatic production that will surprise and delight.

  In addition, when it is in the “low accuracy / non-short-time state”, the symbol variation effect including the above-mentioned specific effect is executed to enhance the effect of the symbol variation effect in the “low-probability / non-time-short state” as described above. be able to. However, when it is in the “low accuracy / short time state” or “high accuracy / short time state”, the symbol variation effect including the special effect is executed, and the “low accuracy / short time state” or “high accuracy / short time state” As described above, the effect of the design variation effect can be enhanced. It should be noted that the symbol variation effect including the specific effect is executed in one game state (for example, “low-probability / non-time-short state”), but other one game state (for example, “low-probability / time-short state”) or In the “high accuracy / short time state”), the symbol variation effect can be differentiated depending on the game state.

Next, a modified embodiment in which the embodiment (the specific effect) is partially changed will be described.
(1) As the finalized effect (specific effect), a finalized image (for example, a finalized color (for example, a predetermined color) is displayed in a predetermined area of the image display device 17 together with an effect in which the movable accessory device 18 operates or the movable accessory device 18 does not operate. (Rainbow)), a final sound output from the speaker 27 (for example, “Cuin, Cuin”), and an effect in which the lamps 28a and 28b are lit with a final pattern (for example, a final color (Rainbow)). At least one effect may be adopted.

(2) In the SP / SP reach production, the suggestion production for selecting the technique shown in FIGS. 16 (32) (A1) / (32) (B1) / (32) (C1) may be omitted. That is, as shown in FIG. 19, in this SP / SP reach effect (battle effect), first, (31) the attack and defense of both characters A and B are displayed, and then the ally character A uses any technique. After an effect (for example, a moving image approaching the ally character A as if it goes over the ground) is displayed, the technique used by the ally character A is specified (A2) / (B2) / (C2) An effect (for example, a moving image that appears in a posture corresponding to the technique used by the teammate character A) is displayed.

  Here, the production from the start of the production that tells which technique the teammate character A uses can be used as the suggestion production, and (A2) the teammate character When the technique used by A is identified as A's special technique (at the same time as the specific, or slightly before or after the specific time), a definitive effect is executed in which the movable accessory device 18 operates. Is done. Others are the same as the SP / SP reach production shown in FIG.

(3) As shown in FIG. 16 (A1), when the confirmed effect (specific effect) is executed in the suggestive effect, it is determined that it will be a “big hit”. As shown in FIG. 16 (A3), the victory effect is not executed as shown in FIG. 16 (A3). A dedicated video (premium video) that gives the person a sense of superiority may be displayed. Further, while the dedicated moving image is displayed, a plurality of effect symbols may constitute a plurality of jackpot symbol sequences, and a full rotation effect in which the plurality of jackpot symbol sequences are scroll-displayed may be performed.

(4) In the SP / SP reach effect, an effect other than the battle effect shown in FIG. 16 may be executed, and the specific effect may be applied to the effect. For example, an SP / SP reach effect including a predetermined mission effect may be executed. In this mission effect, for example, a suggestion effect that displays whether an arrow hits or does not hit is executed. In this suggestion effect, when the operation of the effect button SW6a is enabled and the effect button SW6a is operated, ”, A finalized effect (specific effect) in which the movable accessory device 18 operates may be executed together with the effect that the arrow hits.

  In the suggestion effect, if the operation of the effect button SW6a is made effective and the effect button SW6a is operated, the effect that the arrow does not hit is executed when it becomes “big hit” or “lost”. Of course, the finalized effect is not executed, and then, as in the above-described embodiment, an effect in which the teammate character A attacks the enemy character B is executed. In that effect, the operation of the effect button SW6a is enabled again. When the effect button SW6a is operated, when the “big hit” is obtained, the movable accessory device 18 is operated to perform the final effect and the victory effect is executed. On the other hand, when the “losing” is obtained, the movable accessory is obtained. The defeat effect may be executed without operating the device 18.

(5) A normal operation SW (the operation button SW6a and the like) is provided, a special operation SW different from the normal operation SW is provided, or the normal operation SW is activated by itself (for example, the normal operation SW is moved or deformed). Or when the operation SW is operated when the production branches, such as a special operation SW (movable object or illumination in the normal operation SW is operated). Whether to execute an effect that prompts the user or to perform an operation that prompts the user to operate the special operation SW is selected alternatively according to the effect after branching (expected expectation of big hit), and this also notifies the expected degree of big hit. May be.

  For example, in the technique selection effect shown in FIG. 16 (32), when the special operation SW is selected as the display of the operation SW for prompting the operation, the special technique SW is selected and then the movable technique is movable. You may make it easy to perform the definite production which the accessory apparatus 18 act | operates. Also, for example, in the winning effect shown in FIGS. 16 (B3) / (C3), when the operation SW for prompting the operation is displayed as the special operation SW rather than the normal operation SW, the victory effect is subsequently displayed. You may make it easy to perform the definite production | presentation in which the moving article apparatus 18 act | operates.

(6) The preceding stage effect, the latter stage effect, and the winning effect are all executed within the SP / SP reach effect, but the effect executed before the SP / SP reach effect, It may be executed separately for SP reach production. For example, the preceding stage effect may be executed in the effect before reaching the reach state, the normal reach effect, or the SP reach effect, and the winning effect may be executed in the SP / SP reach. That is, in the case of “big hit”, the specific effect (definite effect) can be executed in the preceding stage effect before the SP / SP reach effect.

(7) When the ratio of executing the specific effect (determined effect) in the preceding stage effect in the case of “big hit”, based on the determined type of big hit symbol, The jackpot symbol B is determined (the special game B is performed) rather than the case where the jackpot symbol A is determined (the special game A is performed and the “low probability / short time state” is set after the special game is finished). If the “high accuracy / short time state” is set after the end of the special game), it may be higher, or “low / short time state” or “high accuracy / short time state”. Sometimes, the jackpot symbol D or E is determined (the special game D or E is performed) than the case where the jackpot symbol C is determined (the special game C is performed and about 1000 game balls can be obtained). And about 2,000 game balls can be acquired) It may be made.

  In addition, various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and various pachinko gaming machines or various slot machines (rotating type gaming machines) other than pachinko gaming machines can be used. The present invention can be applied to other gaming machines.

Note that the winning effect (FIGS. 16 (B3) (B4) / (C3) (C4)) is not executed after the preceding stage effects of FIGS. 16 (31) (32) (B1) / (31) (32) (C1). There are occasions when the winning effect (FIG. 16 (B3) (B4) / (C3) (C4)) is not executed, the suggested effect (FIG. 16 (32) (B1) / (32) (C1)) After that, it is possible to execute a post-stage effect (FIG. 16 (B2) / (C2)) other than a specific one, provided that the execution ratio is set appropriately and the pre-stage effect (FIG. 16 (31) (32) (A1 ) / (31) (32) (B1) / (31) (32) (C1)) is executed when the winning effect (FIG. 16 (B3) (B4) / (C3) (C4)) is not executed) After the suggested effect (FIGS. 16 (32) (A1) / (32) (B1) / (32) (C1)), the specific later stage effect (FIG. 16 (A2)) is the latter stage effect (see FIG. 16). 16 (B2) / (C2)).
