In addition to the effect control program, the ROM 121 stores various data tables used for controlling the effect operation.

  Next, the outline of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be described. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, based on the fact that the game ball has passed through the passing gate 41 provided in the gaming area 10, the normal symbol display on the normal symbol display 20 is started. If a specific normal symbol (a symbol per common symbol) is stopped and displayed after the normal symbol variation time has elapsed after the normal symbol variation has started, the normal symbol variation display result is displayed. “Normal hit” is performed, and enlargement / opening control (tilting control) of the normally variable winning ball apparatus 6B is performed, and normal opening control for returning to the vertical position after a predetermined time is performed. On the other hand, if the normal symbol other than the normal symbol is stopped and displayed when the normal symbol variation time has elapsed, the variation display result of the normal symbol becomes “unusual”, and the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B Enlargement opening control (tilting control) is not performed.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1, after the first start condition is established due to the winning of a game ball in the first start winning opening, etc., for example, the last special figure change display or the big hit game state is ended. On the basis of the fact that the 1 start condition is satisfied, the variation display of the special figure by the first special symbol display 4A is started. In addition, after the second start condition is established due to a game ball winning at the second start prize opening, etc., the second start condition is established due to, for example, the last special figure change display or the big hit game state being ended. Based on this, the special symbol variation display by the second special symbol display 4B is started.

  After a special symbol variation display is started, a fixed special symbol (special diagram display result) is derived and displayed when a predetermined variation display time (for example, 1000 ms to 180,000 ms) has elapsed. At this time, if a specific special symbol (a jackpot symbol) is stopped and displayed, the specific display result is a “big jackpot”, and a specific gaming state in which a round (also referred to as “round game”) advantageous to the player is executed a predetermined number of times ( It is controlled to jackpot game state). On the other hand, if a special symbol different from the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed when the confirmed special symbol (special symbol display result) is derived and displayed, the game will be “disconnected” and controlled to a specific gaming state (jackpot gaming state). There is no.

  In the big hit gaming state, the special winning ball apparatus 7 has a period of time until a predetermined upper limit time (for example, 29 seconds or 0.1 second) elapses or a predetermined number (for example, 9) of winnings. Control is performed to open the special winning opening over a period until a ball is generated. Thereby, the round which makes the special variable winning ball apparatus 7 the 1st state (open state) advantageous for a player is performed.

  During the execution of the round, the special prize opening door is controlled so that the special prize opening is in an open state, the game ball falling on the surface of the game board 2 is received, and then the special prize opening is closed. As a result, the special variable winning ball apparatus 7 is changed to the second state (closed state) disadvantageous to the player, and one round is completed. One open cycle from the grand prize opening to the closed state is defined as one round, and repeatedly executed until the number of rounds reaches a predetermined upper limit (for example, “16”, etc.) It is possible.

  In the effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of the effect display device 5, in response to the start of variable display of the special symbol on the first special symbol display 4A or the second special symbol display 4B, Fluctuation display is started. Then, when the confirmed special symbol is stopped and displayed in the variation display of the special symbol, the variation display of the effect symbol is ended, and the confirmed effect symbol is stopped and displayed in the effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R. In the period from the start of the variation display of the effect symbol to the end thereof, the variation display state of the effect symbol may become a predetermined reach state. The reach state means that in the display area of the effect display device 5, another effect symbol is stopped and displayed while one effect symbol is continuously fluctuated among a plurality of effect symbols. In the display state constituting a part of the jackpot combination, or in the display area of the effect display device 5, all or some of the effect symbols constitute all or part of the jackpot combination It is a display state that is changing synchronously.

  As the fixed special symbol in the special symbol variation display, the finalized symbol design that is a predetermined normal jackpot combination (also referred to as “non-probable variation jackpot combination”) out of multiple types of jackpot combinations is stopped and the variation display result is “non- When it becomes “probable big hit”, it is controlled to the big hit state, and after the end, time reduction control (time reduction control) is performed. By performing the time reduction control, the special symbol fluctuation display time (special figure fluctuation time) in the special figure fluctuation display is shortened compared to the normal state. In the short-time control, so-called electric Chu support is performed in which the winning frequency of the normal symbol is increased and the winning frequency to the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B is increased. In the time-saving control, one of the conditions of the fact that a special display of variable display is executed a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) after the jackpot gaming state is ended and the variable display result is “jackpot” first. When it is established, it may be terminated.

  As a fixed special symbol in the variation display of the special figure, among the multiple types of jackpot combinations, the definite effect jackpot combination that is a predetermined probability variation jackpot combination (also called “probability variation jackpot combination”) is stopped and the variation display result is “probability variation jackpot” ”Is controlled to the big hit state, and after the end, probability variation control (probability variation control) is performed together with time reduction control. By performing the probability variation control, the probability that the variation display result is a “big hit” in the variation display of each special figure is improved to be higher than that in the normal state. In the probability variation control, when the condition that the variation display result becomes “big hit” after the jackpot gaming state ends and the game is controlled again to the jackpot gaming state is satisfied, a predetermined number of times after the jackpot gaming state ends (for example, the same as the number of time reductions 100) )), The probability variation control is terminated by the probability variation falling lottery executed every time the variation display of the special diagram is started after the end of the jackpot gaming state. When a decision is made, it can be completed.

  When short-time control is performed, the normal symbol fluctuation display time (normal figure fluctuation time) in the normal figure fluctuation display is shorter than that in the normal state, and the fluctuation display result of the normal symbol in each normal figure fluctuation display. Performs a control to improve the probability of “per hits” than in the normal state, and performs tilt control of the movable blade piece in the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B based on the fact that the fluctuation display result is “per hit”. The second start condition is such that the game ball easily passes (enters) the second start winning opening, such as control for making the tilt control time longer than that in the normal state, and control for increasing the number of tilts compared to the normal state. Control (electricity chew support control, high opening control) that is advantageous to the player by increasing the possibility that is established is performed. As a result, the second start condition for executing the fluctuation display of the special figure using the second special figure becomes easy to be established, and the fluctuation display of the special figure can be executed frequently. Is reduced to become a “big hit”.

  Next, the operation (action) of the pachinko gaming machine 1 in this embodiment will be described. In the main board 11, when power supply from a predetermined power supply board is started, the game control microcomputer 100 is activated, and the CPU 103 executes a predetermined process as a game control main process. When game control timer interrupt processing is started in the game control main processing, switch processing, main-side error processing, information output processing, game random number update processing, special symbol process processing, normal symbol process processing, and command control processing are executed.

  In the special symbol process, the value of the special symbol process flag provided in the game control flag setting unit (not shown) is updated according to the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1, and the first special symbol display 4A or (2) Various processes are selected and executed in order to perform control of the display operation in the special symbol display 4B and setting of the opening / closing operation of the special winning opening in the special variable winning ball apparatus 7 in a predetermined procedure.

  In the special symbol process, the CPU 103 first determines whether or not there is a first start prize or a second start prize. If there is a prize, the special pattern display result judgment, jackpot type judgment, variation pattern A random number value for determination or the like is extracted, and a start winning process is executed for storing (storing) at the highest level of empty entries in the first special figure reservation storage unit or the second special figure reservation storage unit.

  Further, the CPU 103 determines whether or not to start the variable display of the special figure based on the presence / absence of the pending data stored in the first special figure reservation storage unit and the second special figure reservation storage unit, Based on the numerical data indicating the random number value for display result determination, decide whether or not the variation display result of the special symbol or production symbol is a “big hit” before the variation display result is derived and displayed (predetermined) Execute special symbol normal processing. That is, when starting the variable display of the special figure, the CPU 103 determines whether to derive and display the jackpot display result as the display result of the variable display based on the random number value stored when the start winning is generated. The process of (lottery) is executed.

  Next, a variation pattern setting process for determining a variation pattern as one of a plurality of types, a special symbol variation process for performing a setting for varying a special symbol and a process for measuring an elapsed time after the special symbol starts variation, A special symbol stop process is performed to perform settings for stopping the change of the special symbol and stopping and displaying (deriving) the fixed special symbol. Also, when the variation display result is “big hit”, the big jackpot opening pre-processing, the big jackpot opening pre-processing, the big jackpot opening post-processing, and the big jackpot end processing are performed to open and close the big winning opening in the big hit gaming state.

  The variation pattern of the present embodiment is the case where the variation display result is “out of”, the display mode of the variation display of the effect symbol is “non-reach” and “reach”, and the variation display result A plurality of variation patterns are prepared in advance in correspondence with each case such as a case where becomes a “big hit”. The variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variation display result is “out of” and the variation display mode of the effect symbol is “non-reach” is referred to as a non-reach variation pattern (also referred to as “non-reach variation pattern”). A variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variation display result is “out of” and the variation display mode of the effect symbol is “reach” is referred to as a reach variation pattern (also referred to as “reach out of variation pattern”). Further, the non-reach fluctuation pattern and the reach fluctuation pattern are included in the deviation fluctuation pattern corresponding to the case where the fluctuation display result is “out of”. A variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variation display result is “big hit” is referred to as a big hit variation pattern.

  The jackpot variation pattern and the reach variation pattern include a normal reach variation pattern in which a normal reach reach effect is executed, and a super reach change pattern in which a super reach reach effect such as super reach α and super reach β is executed.

  In the present embodiment, the special figure fluctuation time of the normal reach fluctuation pattern in which the reach effect of the normal reach is executed is set shorter than the super reach α and super reach β that are the super reach fluctuation patterns. In addition, regarding the special figure variation time of the super reach variation pattern in which super reach reach production such as super reach α and super reach β in this embodiment is performed, the variation pattern in which super reach β super reach production is performed. However, the special figure variation time is set longer than the variation pattern in which the super reach production of the super reach α is executed.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, since the variation display result is set to “hit” in the order of super reach β, super reach α, and normal reach, the big hit expectation is set higher. In the reach variation pattern, the longer the variation time, the higher the expectation of jackpot.

  Next, the operation of the effect control board 12 will be described. First, the effect control CPU 120 starts executing the main process when the power is turned on. When a timer interruption occurs in the main process, a command analysis process, an effect control process, and an effect random number update process are executed.

  In the effect control process, the hold memory display in the first hold memory display area 5D and the second hold memory display area 5U of the effect display device 5 is displayed according to the number of special figure hold memories stored in the hold memory buffer. Execute the pending display update process to update to Next, in accordance with the value of the production control process flag, a variation pattern designation command reception waiting process for confirming whether or not a variation pattern designation command has been received from the game control microcomputer 100, and variation of the production symbol are started. While controlling the switching timing of each variation state (variation speed) constituting the variation pattern and monitoring the end of the variation time according to the process data set in the effect symbol variation start process to be controlled and the process symbol variation start process The display control of the effect display device 5, the sound output from the speakers 8L and 8R, the light emission of the effect LED 9 and the drive control of the effect unit (not shown), and the like. An effect symbol variation stop process is performed to control to derive and display the result (stop symbol).

  In the jackpot display processing, after the end of the variable time, control is performed to display a screen for notifying the effect display device 5 of the occurrence of the jackpot. In the big hit game processing, control during the big hit game is performed. In the jackpot end effect process, the effect display device 5 performs display control to notify the player that the jackpot game state has ended.

  In this way, the effect control CPU 120 is related to the game such as the effect display variable display control or the notice effect change display during the effect symbol change display based on the effect control command (control information) transmitted from the game control microcomputer 100. It is possible to control various effects.

  In addition, examples of the notice effect that the effect control CPU 120 executes while the effect symbol is being displayed are, for example, a movable notice that the movable body of the effect unit (not shown) operates, and the player operates the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B. A jackpot announcement effect that suggests the possibility of a jackpot, such as an operation notice that is executed on the condition that it is done, a reach notice that suggests whether or not to reach, a stop symbol notice that notifies the stop symbol, the game state is a probability fluctuation state A plurality of notices executed at the start of variable display or when reach is established, such as a latent notice for notifying whether or not (whether or not it is latent). Further, the notice effect may be started before the change display state of the effect symbol becomes the reach state after the change display of the effect symbol is started in the display area of the effect display device 5. It may be executed after the effect symbol variation display state reaches the reach state.

  Next, the notice effect that the effect control CPU 120 executes during the special display and effect symbol change display will be described with reference to FIGS.

  The CPU 120 for effect control of the present embodiment is used as a notice effect in the game as a notice effect during the variable display of special figures and effect symbols when a predetermined condition is satisfied (for example, when a predetermined lottery is won). It is possible to execute a virtual space effect that allows the player to visually recognize the virtual space in the game from the viewpoint of the specific character and the viewpoint that allows the specific character to be looked down on, and at the end of the virtual space effect, a notice effect is provided. As for the change display of the special figure that has been an opportunity to perform, a result notification that suggests whether or not to derive and display the jackpot display result is performed.

  Further, the production control CPU 120 performs production by performing output control of the production devices such as the production display device 5 and the speakers 8L and 8R based on the production patterns registered in the ROM 121 on the production control board 12 in advance. As an effect pattern for performing a virtual space effect as a notice effect, a plurality of types of VR effect patterns are registered in the ROM 121. In the present embodiment, VR effect patterns include VR effect patterns 1 to 3 described later, for example. When the virtual space effect is performed as the notice effect, it is determined that the type of the variable display pattern controlled by the game control microcomputer 100 or the specific game state is controlled before the virtual space effect is started. Depending on whether or not it is performed, a lottery for determining the type of VR effect pattern to be executed is performed, and control is performed so that a virtual space effect is performed based on the VR effect pattern determined in the lottery.

  In the virtual space effect, as shown in FIG. 3A, a predetermined virtual space VS (for example, a substantially cubic space) is set, and a plurality of character objects (this embodiment) are set in the virtual space VS. In the example, a character A, which is a specific character with which the player can operate the viewpoint, and other characters, such as teammate characters B and C, enemy characters α, β, and γ in total, are arranged at respective predetermined coordinate positions. The In the virtual space, objects other than the character, for example, objects constituting the background, terrain, items, and the like may be arranged. Further, the arrangement of each object is changed or operated based on the VR effect pattern.

  In the virtual space VS, a virtual camera CM in which a visual field range VF is set as a virtual shooting range is arranged. As shown in FIGS. 3B and 3C, for the virtual camera CM, the arrangement coordinates VX (viewpoint) that can specify the arrangement position in the virtual space VS and the line-of-sight direction VD from the arrangement position are set. Furthermore, the visual field range VF is set in a direction in which the viewing direction VD is viewed from the viewpoint of the arrangement coordinates.

  The effect control CPU 120 can change the arrangement coordinates of the virtual camera CM in the horizontal direction (X-axis direction, Y-axis direction in the figure), and the line-of-sight direction VD in the vertical and horizontal directions (θ1, θ2 in the figure). Direction) within a predetermined angle range. The state in the visual field range VF is rendered in real time as a visual field image by the effect display control unit 123 and displayed in a predetermined display area of the effect display device 5 to be visualized. When an object such as the above-described character is included in the visual field range VF, a visual field image including the object viewed from the placement coordinates VX (viewpoint) of the virtual camera CM and the visual line direction VD is displayed on the effect display device 5. It becomes.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3D, the display area of the effect display device 5 includes a display area A in which display related to the effect is mainly performed and a display area B in which display related to the game is mainly performed. It is. The effect control CPU 120 causes the display area A to display a visual field image drawn based on the arrangement coordinates VX and the line-of-sight direction VD of the virtual camera CM during execution of the virtual space effect. On the other hand, information related to the game, such as the number of special figure reservations stored by the game control microcomputer 100 and the symbol variation display corresponding to the variation display of the special diagram, is displayed in the display area B. Regardless of whether or not the image of the virtual space effect is changed, the display area B is displayed so that information relating to the game is displayed so as to be visible to the player. Note that the display area A and the display area B may be overlapped as long as the information related to the game is displayed so as to be visible to the player regardless of the contents of the virtual space effect.

  As shown in FIG. 4A, when the predetermined condition for starting the virtual space effect is established, the effect control CPU 120 draws a visual field image corresponding to the initial visual field range VF1, and changes the direction of the visual line direction VD. Objects, backgrounds, and the like arranged at predetermined positions are displayed in the display area A of the effect display device 5. In this embodiment, the initial value of the arrangement coordinates of the virtual camera CM is set to the position of the object corresponding to the character A, and the line-of-sight direction VD of the virtual camera CM is set to the front direction of the object corresponding to the character A. The default visual field range VF1 is set to be the visual field range viewed from the character A. Thereby, when the virtual space effect is started, a visual field image indicating the virtual space VS in the front direction viewed from the viewpoint of the character A is displayed on the effect display device 5.

  Further, the effect control CPU 120, as will be described later, in the operable period in which the player's acceptance of the operation by the stick controller 31A is enabled, the guidance image (in this embodiment, the direction in which the viewpoint can be changed). Is displayed in the display area A of the effect display device 5 to guide that the viewpoint direction of the character A can be changed. On the other hand, the guide image is not displayed outside the operable period.

  When it is detected that the stick controller 31A has been operated in a state in which the player's acceptance of the operation by the stick controller 31A is enabled, the performance control CPU 120 performs the operation on the line of sight of the virtual camera CM. This is accepted as an effective operation for changing the direction VD, that is, the viewpoint direction of the character A, and the line-of-sight direction VD is changed at a change amount or change speed according to the operation amount or operation speed. At a predetermined timing based on the VR effect pattern, control is performed so that the viewpoint of the virtual camera CM is changed to a predetermined specific viewpoint regardless of the operation of the stick controller 31A. Thereby, the visual field range VF of the virtual camera CM changes corresponding to the change in the line-of-sight direction VD, and the visual field image displayed in real time drawing by the effect display control unit 123 also changes.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 4B, the stick controller 31A is moved in the left direction during the operable period in which the virtual camera CM is set to the viewpoint of the character A and the acceptance of the operation by the stick controller 31A is enabled. When the tilt operation is performed, the line-of-sight direction VD of the virtual camera CM is seamlessly rotated to the left with reference to the current line-of-sight direction (for example, the initial line-of-sight direction). Then, the visual field image VFL corresponding to the visual field range of the virtual camera CM that changes in accordance with the rotation is drawn in real time by the effect display control unit 123 and displayed in the display area A of the effect display device 5.

  The amount of rotation in the line of sight accompanying the tilt operation of the stick controller 31A changes according to the mode of the tilt operation (for example, tilt angle, operation time, tilted speed, etc.). When 31A is tilted relatively large in the left direction, the change in the line-of-sight direction is also relatively large and fast, and when the stick controller 31A is tilted relatively small in the left direction, the line-of-sight direction changes. Changes are relatively slow and rotate slowly.

  Similarly, when the stick controller 31A is tilted to the right during the operable period, the visual line direction VD of the virtual camera CM is rotated to the right, and the visual field image VFR is drawn in real time in accordance with the rotation to display the display area. A is displayed. In addition, when the stick controller 31A is tilted backward in the operable period, the visual line direction VD of the virtual camera CM is rotated downward, and the visual field image VFD is drawn in real time in accordance with the rotation and displayed in the display area A. Is displayed. Further, when the stick controller 31A is tilted forward in the operable period, the visual line direction VD of the virtual camera CM is rotated upward, and the visual field image VFU is drawn in real time according to the rotation and displayed in the display area A. Is done.

  Further, when controlling the viewpoint of the virtual camera CM to a specific viewpoint based on the VR effect pattern, the field of view based on the VR effect pattern is changed by changing the viewpoint of the virtual camera CM to the position coordinates and the line-of-sight direction based on the VR effect pattern. An image is displayed on the effect display device 5 (see, for example, FIGS. 11 to 13).

  Thus, in the virtual space effect of the present embodiment, the visual field image corresponding to the visual field range VF of the virtual camera CM is displayed on the effect display device 5, and the arrangement coordinates VX of the virtual camera CM are displayed in the virtual space VS. By setting the viewpoint of the specific character in the game, the player can visually recognize the virtual space VS from the viewpoint of the specific character.

  Further, in the virtual space effect, it is possible to set the arrangement coordinates VX and the line-of-sight direction VD of the virtual camera CM based on the VR effect pattern and display the visual field image based on the VR effect pattern on the effect display device 5. During the predetermined operable period, the line-of-sight direction VD of the virtual camera CM can be changed by operating the stick controller 31A.

  In the operable period during the virtual space effect, the visual field image corresponding to the visual field range VF that changes according to the tilt operation of the stick controller 31A is drawn in real time and is seamlessly changed, and the direction corresponding to the tilt operation. A visual field image that seems to face a specific character is reproduced on the effect display device 5. Thereby, the player can change the viewpoint of the specific character by operating the stick controller 31A, and can feel as if he / she is acting in the virtual space from the viewpoint of the specific character. The production of virtual space is realized.

  In addition, the arrangement coordinates VX of the virtual camera CM are changed according to the operation of the stick controller 31A and the like, and the visual field image corresponding to the visual field range VF that changes according to the change of the arrangement coordinates VX and the line-of-sight direction VD 5 may be configured such that the arrangement coordinates VX and the line-of-sight direction VD of the virtual camera CM are changed according to the operation of the stick controller 31A or the like. In such a configuration, the position of the virtual camera CM, that is, the position of the specific character can be changed according to the player's operation, so that the player can actively search the virtual space through the viewpoint of the specific character. This will lead to an increase in variations in the production of gaming machines.

  Next, an effect mode of the virtual space effect performed by the effect control CPU 120 based on the VR effect patterns 1 to 3 as the notice effect will be described with reference to FIGS.

  The production control CPU 120 of this embodiment controls production based on the production pattern, and includes, for example, VR production patterns 1 to 3 as VR production patterns for performing the virtual space production. Then, when the VR effect pattern is determined as the effect pattern to be executed when the change display of the specific symbol is started, the virtual space effect is provided as the notice effect in the change display period in which the change display of the specific symbol is performed. Do.

  In the notice effect based on the VR effect patterns 1 to 3, when the virtual space effect is advanced as if the virtual space is viewed from the viewpoint of the specific character mainly over the variable display period, and the variable display period ends, the jackpot display A result notification that suggests whether or not to determine and display the result is determined.

  In VR production patterns 1 to 3, a plurality of types of scenarios are registered in advance, and the production control CPU 120 determines that the jackpot display result is derived and displayed when control of the virtual space production is started. A lottery is performed based on whether or not it is performed, a scenario to be executed is determined from a plurality of types of scenarios included in the VR effect pattern, and the scenario effect is controlled to advance the effect according to the determined scenario. To do.

  The VR effect patterns 1 to 3 include a line-of-sight operation effect that can change the viewpoint of the specific character by the player's operation and a viewpoint control effect that controls the viewpoint other than the viewpoint of the specific character. The viewpoint control based on the operation by the controller 31A and the VR effect pattern is performed. The VR effect pattern 2 includes an operation request effect that requests a predetermined operation by the player to advance the effect and advances the effect by performing the predetermined operation. The VR effect pattern 3 includes the predetermined operation. It includes a pose suggestion effect that advances the performance and suggests a stance.

  First, the effect mode of the virtual space effect performed by the effect control CPU 120 based on the VR effect pattern 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

  In the virtual space effect performed based on the VR effect pattern 1, the scenario effect in which the effect is advanced along the scenario included in the VR effect pattern, and the line of sight that can change the viewpoint of the specific character by the player's operation. An operation effect and a viewpoint control effect that controls a viewpoint other than the viewpoint of the specific character are included.

  In the scenario included in the VR effect pattern 1, an ally character (characters, A, B, C in this embodiment) is compared with an enemy character (characters α, β, γ in this embodiment) at a predetermined timing. It is determined that a turn effect lottery is used to determine whether to perform an attack turn effect to attack or an enemy character to attack a friendly character and a defense turn effect to be defended by the teammate character. The number of turn effect lotteries, that is, the number of attack turn effects and defense turn effects, and the timing of performing the turn effect lottery are determined in accordance with the length of the variable display period. By performing the production based on the scenario, a battle production in which the ally character and the enemy character compete for a predetermined number of turns is performed as the scenario production, and the teammate character wins, and the jackpot display result is derived and displayed. The fact that the fact has been decided is notified.

  The effect control CPU 120 starts the control of the virtual space effect by starting the variable display of the special figure, and the effect display device 5 using the visual field image corresponding to the visual field range VF of the virtual camera CM described above as the start image. Is displayed in the display area a, and a reserved memory display indicating the number of reserved memories is displayed in the display area b of the effect display device 5. As described above, since the initial value of the arrangement coordinates of the virtual camera CM is set to the position of the character A, and the initial value of the line-of-sight direction VD is set to the front direction of the character A, the virtual space effect is started. Thus, a visual field image showing the virtual space VS viewed from the viewpoint of the character A as the specific character is displayed in the display area a as a start image. Thereafter, the scenario effect is started, and the progress of the effect is controlled along the scenario determined at the start of the virtual space effect.

  In the scenario production, the turn production lottery is performed every time the scenario is set. In the turn production lottery, whether the production of the attack turn production or the defense turn production is performed based on whether or not it is determined to derive and display the jackpot display result, the attacking character attacking in the turn, the attack The defense character to receive, the damage which a defense character receives, etc. are determined.

  In this embodiment, the scenario used for the scenario production has a timing for performing the attack turn production or the defense turn production. The turn production lottery is performed at each timing, and the attack turn production is performed at each timing. Configuration that decides which effect to produce, such as production or defense turn production, that is, even if scenario production is started using the same scenario, the content of the scenario production changes depending on the result of the subsequent turn production lottery There are a plurality of types of scenarios in which effects (attack turn effects or defense turn effects) performed at each timing and effects such as attack characters, defense characters, damage, etc. in each turn are predetermined. When registering in the ROM 121 and starting the scenario production, select one scenario and By performing the output, it may be configured to carry out the scenario director of the effect contents which is determined in advance.

  For example, when it is determined that the jackpot display result is derived and displayed, the fact that the attack turn effect is performed is compared to the case where it is not determined that the jackpot display result is derived and displayed. It is determined at a higher rate than the effect. As a result, when the attack turn effect is performed, the degree of expectation that the decision to derive and display the jackpot display result is higher than when the defense turn effect is performed.

  Also, when it is determined that the jackpot display result is derived and displayed, the damage to the enemy character in the attack turn effect is greater than when the jackpot display result is not determined to be displayed. The rate at which the damage received from the enemy character in the defense turn production is determined to be small is high. As a result, when it is determined that the jackpot display result is derived and displayed, there is an effect that suggests that the teammate character has an advantageous situation as compared to the case where it is not determined that the jackpot display result is derived and displayed. The rate at which it is done is getting higher.

  Then, after the attack turn effect and the defense turn effect are determined in the turn effect lottery, the position coordinates of the object are changed so that the attack character determined in the lottery is moved to the vicinity of the defense character, and the attack character Each character in the virtual space is operated so that the defense character makes a predetermined reaction to the attack while causing the defense character to attack. When the character's object is within the visual field range VF of the virtual camera CM, the operated character or the like is drawn in real time as a visual field image and displayed on the effect display device 5. On the other hand, when the object of the character is not within the visual field range VF of the virtual camera CM, it is not displayed on the effect display device 5, but the operation is controlled as an event outside the visual field range VF.

  Then, after executing the attack turn effect and the defense turn effect for a predetermined number of turns defined in the scenario, the attack turn effect is executed, and then the result notification is performed to end the scenario effect.

  In the scenario production, the production-related information related to the production is produced in the display area a of the production display device 5 at a predetermined timing set in the scenario (for example, timing for changing the stage in the production progression). Display in the related information area. Here, the production-related information is a predetermined event that occurs in the production performed along the scenario (for example, the production of the production by the scenario, the later-described attack turn production is performed, and the attack turn production is damaged. Etc.). In addition, the effect related information area is such that the effect related information is displayed in front of the visual line direction VD regardless of which direction the visual line direction VD of the virtual camera CM is controlled or operated. Is an area provided so that can be recognized.

  Also, the ROM 121 has pre-registered voice data including dialogue sound, action sound, effect sound effect, BGM, etc. of each character based on the timing on the scenario, the type of each character, the type of action, etc. Based on the scenario, the effect control CPU 120, when it is time to operate the character in the attack turn effect and defense turn effect as described later, when the character emits dialogue, other predetermined timings determined in the scenario, etc. Next, the corresponding audio data is read with reference to the ROM 121, and audio is output from the speakers 8 </ b> L and 8 </ b> R via the audio control board 13. In addition, when the timing for causing the character to emit a line or the timing for moving the character is reached, an effect character flag that can specify the character that is to emit a line or the character to be operated is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 122.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5 (a), in the scenario production, first, the scenario production is started, and production-related information that suggests the flow of the production (in the present embodiment, being executed) The number of turn production lotteries determined in the scenario (for example, 3 times) and the character information ("Defeat the enemy in 3 turns!") Suggesting that it is a battle production are displayed in the display area a of the production display device 5 In the production related information area. Then, after waiting for the turn production lottery to be performed at the predetermined timing specified in the scenario, when the turn production lottery decides to perform either the attack turn production or the defense turn production, the decided production is performed. I do.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 5B, when it is determined that the defense turn effect is to be performed in the turn effect lottery, and the attack character is determined to be the character α and the defense character is the character A, the character α is the character A. Each character is moved so that the character α attacks the character A. At this time, the visual field range VF is set to the viewpoint of the character A, and when the line-of-sight direction is directed to the character α direction, the visual field image based on the viewpoint of the character A is drawn in real time. An image with a sense of reality that the character α approaches the player and is attacked is displayed on the effect display device 5.

  Further, when the character α is approaching to the vicinity of the character A when performing the defensive turn effect, character information indicating that the defensive turn effect is being performed (in this embodiment, “attack of the character α!”). Etc.) is displayed in the effect-related information area, and when the damage received by the character A or the like due to the attack of the character α, character information indicating that the damage has been received (for example, determined by the turn effect lottery) “Character A received damage 100!” (Not shown) indicating damage (for example, 100) is displayed in the effect related information area.

  In addition, when operating each character, the ROM 121 is referred to, based on the scenario and the type and motion of each character, and the voice data in which the motion sound of each character is registered in advance is read out. Predetermined sound is output from the speakers 8L and 8R via the control board 13.

  Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 5C, when it is determined that the attack turn effect is to be performed in the turn effect lottery, and the attack character is determined to be the character A and the defense character is the character α, the character A is Each character is moved so that the character A approaches the character α and attacks the character α. At this time, the visual field range VF is set to the viewpoint of the character A, and when the line-of-sight direction is directed to the character α direction, the visual field image based on the viewpoint of the character A is drawn in real time. An image with a sense of realism that the player approaches to the vicinity of the character α and makes an attack is displayed on the effect display device 5.

  Further, when the character A approaches the vicinity of the character α when performing the attack turn effect, character information indicating that the attack turn effect is being performed (in this embodiment, “Character A attack!”). Etc.) is displayed in the effect-related information area, and when the character α is damaged by the attack of the character A, character information indicating that the damage has been given (for example, damage determined in the turn effect lottery) (For example, 300) ("Damage 300 has been damaged 300!") (Not shown) is displayed in the effect related information area.

  Also, in the attack turn production, as with the defense turn production, when each character is operated, the ROM 121 is referred to, and the operation sound of each character is determined based on the scenario and the type and operation of each character. Pre-registered audio data is identified and read out, and predetermined audio is output from the speakers 8L and 8R via the audio control board 13.

  For example, even when a character other than the character A or the character α performs an attack or defense, the attack character determined by the turn effect lottery is moved to the vicinity of the defense character and each character is operated so as to attack. Also in this case, the visual field range VF is set to the viewpoint of the character A, and the visual field image based on the viewpoint of the character A is drawn in real time, and the visual field image is displayed on the effect display device 5.

  In addition, when a character other than the character A or the character α performs an attack or defense, for example, when the ally character is an attack character and the attack character approaches the defense character, the attack turn effect is indicated. After the character information to be displayed is displayed in the effect related information area and the teammate character attacks, the character information indicating the damage given to the enemy character is displayed in the effect related information area. On the other hand, when the ally character is a defense character and the attack character approaches the defense character, character information indicating that it is a defense turn is displayed in the effect related information area, and after the ally character is attacked, The character information indicating the damage received by the teammate character is displayed in the effect related information area.

  After performing the attack turn effect and the defense turn effect at a predetermined number of times and at a predetermined timing based on the scenario, the remaining time until the change display of the specific symbol is stopped is a predetermined time (in this embodiment, the attack turn effect is performed. The attack turn production is performed when it is time to complete. Then, when the attack turn effect is finished, that is, when the change display is stopped, the result is notified.

  As shown in FIG. 5 (d), in the result notification, when the jackpot display result is derived and displayed as the fluctuation display result of the special figure, a victory image (this book indicating that the teammate character has won against the enemy character) In the embodiment, an image indicating that the enemy character has been defeated and a character image of “win” are displayed on the effect display device 5, while, as shown in FIG. If the jackpot display result is not derived and displayed, a non-winning image indicating that the teammate character has not won the enemy character within a predetermined turn (in this embodiment, the enemy character cannot be defeated in the predetermined turn). The effect display device 5 notifies the effect display device 5 of the change display result of the special figure. Further, referring to the ROM 121, voice data corresponding to the type of scenario, the content of the result notification, and the like are specified and read, and predetermined voices are output from the speakers 8L and 8R.

  After performing the result notification, if the announcement effect is terminated and the jackpot display result is derived and displayed as the fluctuation display result of the special figure, the jackpot effect relating to being controlled to the jackpot gaming state is performed. When the jackpot display result is derived and displayed as the variable display result, a normal effect relating to the non-hit game state, that is, the normal game state is performed.

  Next, the line-of-sight operation effect performed by the effect control CPU 120 in the virtual space effect will be described with reference to FIGS.

  The effect control CPU 120 starts control of the line-of-sight operation effect when starting the virtual space effect in the notice effect based on the VR effect pattern. In the control of the line-of-sight operation effect, first, the acceptance of the operation by the stick controller 31A is validated so that the viewpoint control according to the operation of the stick controller 31A can be performed. Then, when it is detected that the tilt operation of the stick controller 31A has been performed in a state where the operation is valid, the line-of-sight direction VD of the virtual camera CM is changed according to the detected tilt operation amount. In the present embodiment, when the acceptance of the operation by the stick controller 31A is validated when starting the virtual space effect, the last attack turn effect (attack turn effect immediately before the result notification is performed) by the scenario effect described above. During the period when the viewpoint control effect described later is not performed, the state in which the acceptance of the operation of the stick controller 31A is valid, and the line-of-sight direction of the virtual camera CM according to the operation Control VD.

  The virtual camera CM during the line-of-sight operation effect is at the viewpoint of the character A, and the line-of-sight direction corresponds to the movable range of the viewpoint of the character A (for example, the range in which the field of view changes when the face is directed in the vertical and horizontal directions). VD is changed, and in accordance with the change in the line-of-sight direction VD, a visual field image including parts other than the face constituting the body of the character A, for example, arms, legs, torso, etc. is displayed on the effect display device 5. Is displayed.

  The ROM 121 is pre-registered with filter data for changing the above-described sound data into a predetermined mode and outputting the sound data from the speakers 8L and 8R, so that sound can be heard from the right direction in the filter data. Right direction filter data to change to, left direction filter data to change so that the sound can be heard from the left direction, forward direction filter data to change so that the sound can be heard from the front direction, and sound can be heard from the rear direction The backward filter data to be changed is included. The filter data is data that can change a predetermined amount of sound volume when a sound is output from the left and right speakers and apply a predetermined effect to the original audio data by using the filter data.

  In the control of the gaze operation effect, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the effect character flag is set by the above-described scenario effect control, and when the effect character flag is set, the line of sight of the virtual camera CM is determined. A direction in which the character X specified based on the effect character flag is located is specified with respect to the direction VD. Then, the voice control is performed so that the filter data corresponding to the direction of the character X with respect to the line-of-sight direction VD is specified, the voice data is filtered using the specified filter data, and the voice is output from the speakers 8L and 8R. Control the board.

  In the present embodiment, the configuration of changing the mode of the sound output from the speakers 8L and 8R using the filter data corresponding to the line-of-sight direction VD of the virtual camera CM is compatible with the line-of-sight direction VD of the virtual camera CM. The audio data to be performed is registered in the ROM 121 in advance, and the effect control CPU 120 uses the audio data corresponding to the line-of-sight direction VD in response to the change of the line-of-sight direction VD of the virtual camera CM. It is also possible to output audio from

  In the line-of-sight operation effect, as shown in FIG. 6A, in the state in which the operation of the stick controller 31A is valid, the operation waits until the operation of the stick controller 31A is detected. A visual field image corresponding to the set visual line direction VD is displayed on the effect display device 5. Then, when the stick controller 31A is tilted in a state in which the operation by the stick controller 31A is valid, the line-of-sight direction VD of the virtual camera CM is changed according to the tilt operation, and the line-of-sight direction VD is supported. The visual field image to be displayed is displayed on the effect display device 5.

  As shown in FIG. 6C, for example, when the stick controller 31A is tilted to the left and changed so that the line-of-sight direction VD faces the right side of the character B, the character B is viewed from the right side. The visual field image is displayed on the effect display device 5. Further, as shown in FIG. 6B, when the line-of-sight direction VD is changed, the line-of-sight direction VD is changed at a change amount and a change speed according to the operation amount and operation speed of the stick controller 31A. Thus, the visual field image is changed in real time so that the character B enters from the left side of the visual field image and is positioned in front in accordance with the change in the visual line direction VD.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 6A, when the character γ is located at a position that is substantially in front of the line-of-sight direction VD, an effect character flag that the character γ emits a dialogue is set. If there is, the direction of the character γ with respect to the line-of-sight direction VD, that is, the forward filter data corresponding to the forward direction and the right direction filter data corresponding to the right direction are specified as the filter data used for the filtering process.

  Then, the filter processing is performed using the forward filter data, and the audio data is set to be output without any particular change. Further, the filter processing is performed using the right filter data, and the volume setting of the left speaker 8L is set. By setting the sound volume to be lower than the predetermined sound volume of the right speaker 8R and controlling the speakers 8L and 8R to output a predetermined sound based on the sound data, the predetermined sound with respect to the position of the character A is obtained in the player. A predetermined voice is output so that the player can recognize the character γ from the front right direction, that is, the player's front right direction.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6C, when the line-of-sight direction VD is changed to face the right side of the character B in accordance with the operation of the stick controller 31A, the character γ emits a dialogue. When the effect character flag is set, the direction of the character γ with respect to the line-of-sight direction VD is substantially the rear right direction. Therefore, the rear direction filter data and the right direction filter data are specified as the filter data used for the filtering process.

  Then, the filter processing is performed using the backward filter data, the effect is set so that the sound is confined with a predetermined volume smaller than that when the forward filter data is used, and the filter processing is performed using the right filter data. By setting the volume setting of the left speaker 8L to be lower than the predetermined volume of the right speaker 8R and controlling the speakers 8L and 8R to output a predetermined sound based on the audio data, the player can Then, the predetermined sound is output so that the predetermined sound can be recognized so as to be heard from the rear right direction that is the position direction of the character γ with respect to the position of the character A, that is, from the rear right direction of the player.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7C, for example, when the stick controller 31A is tilted to the right side and the line-of-sight direction VD is changed to the left side of the character C, the character C is moved from the right side. The viewed visual field image is displayed on the effect display device 5. Further, as shown in FIG. 7B, when the line-of-sight direction VD is changed, the line-of-sight direction VD is changed at a change amount and a change speed according to the operation amount and operation speed of the stick controller 31A. Accordingly, the visual field image is changed in real time so that the character C enters from the right side of the visual field image and is positioned in front in accordance with the change in the visual line direction VD.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7C, when the line-of-sight direction VD is changed so as to face the right side of the character C according to the operation of the stick controller 31A, the effect that the character γ emits speech. When the character flag is set, the direction of the character C with respect to the line-of-sight direction VD is substantially the front left direction, and therefore the forward filter data and the left direction filter data are specified as the filter data used for the filtering process.

  Then, the filter processing is performed using the forward filter data, the audio data is set to be output without being changed, the filter processing is performed using the left filter data, and the volume setting of the right speaker 8L is set. The player is set to be lower than the predetermined volume of the left speaker 8R, and is controlled so that the predetermined sound based on the audio data is output from the speakers 8L and 8R. A predetermined sound is output so that the player can recognize the character γ from the front left direction, that is, the player's front left direction.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7C, for example, when the stick controller 31A is tilted to the right side and the line-of-sight direction VD is changed to the left side of the character C, the character C is moved from the right side. The viewed visual field image is displayed on the effect display device 5. Further, as shown in FIG. 7B, when the line-of-sight direction VD is changed, the line-of-sight direction VD is changed at a change amount and a change speed according to the operation amount and operation speed of the stick controller 31A. Accordingly, the visual field image is changed in real time so that the character C enters from the right side of the visual field image and is positioned in front in accordance with the change in the visual line direction VD.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8C, for example, when the stick controller 31A is tilted forward to change the line-of-sight direction VD to the feet of the character A, the character A's own feet are moved. The visual field image including the image is displayed on the effect display device 5. Further, as shown in FIG. 8B, when the line-of-sight direction VD is changed, the line-of-sight direction VD is changed at a change amount and a change speed according to the operation amount and operation speed of the stick controller 31A. Thus, the visual field image is changed in real time so that the line-of-sight direction is directed toward the foot of the character A in response to the change in the line-of-sight direction VD.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8C, when the line-of-sight direction VD is changed so as to face the feet of the character A according to the operation of the stick controller 31A, or as shown in FIG. When the direction VD is changed, and when the effect character flag indicating that the character γ emits speech is set, the direction of the character C with respect to the line-of-sight direction VD is substantially the front right direction, and thus is used for the filtering process. By specifying the forward filter data and the left filter data as the filter data, and using the forward filter data and the left filter data, control is performed so that predetermined sounds based on the audio data are output from the speakers 8L and 8R. In the player, the predetermined left voice is the left direction of the character γ relative to the position of the character A A predetermined sound is output so that it can be recognized as if it is heard from the front, that is, the player's front left direction.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 9C, for example, when the stick controller 31A is tilted to the near side and changed so that the line-of-sight direction VD is directed above the character A, the setting scene of the virtual space A visual field image including an upper background image (sky and cloud images in the present embodiment) corresponding to is displayed on the effect display device 5. Further, as shown in FIG. 9B, when the line-of-sight direction VD is changed, the line-of-sight direction VD is changed at a change amount and a change speed according to the operation amount and operation speed of the stick controller 31A. Thus, the visual field image is changed in real time so that the line-of-sight direction is directed above the character A in response to the change in the line-of-sight direction VD.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 9C, when the line-of-sight direction VD is changed so as to face upward of the character A according to the operation of the stick controller 31A, or as shown in FIG. 9B. When the direction VD is changed, the direction of the character γ with respect to the line-of-sight direction VD is substantially the front right direction, so that the character is the same as when the line-of-sight direction VD is changed to face the feet of the character A. When the production character flag indicating that γ emits speech is set, the forward filter data and the left filter data are specified as the filter data used for the filtering process, and the forward filter data and the left filter data are used. The player can control the predetermined sound based on the sound data to be output from the speakers 8L and 8R. A predetermined sound is output so that the sound can be recognized from the front left direction which is the position direction of the character γ with respect to the position of the character A, that is, from the front left direction of the player.

  In the virtual space effect of this embodiment, when starting the virtual space effect, a chance object lottery for determining whether or not to arrange a chance suggesting object at a predetermined position in the virtual space predetermined by the VR effect pattern is performed. And by winning the chance object lottery, the chance suggesting object is arranged at a predetermined position. When the chance suggestion object is included in the visual field range of the virtual camera CM, the visual field image including the chance suggestion image is displayed on the effect display device 5, and the player can control the stick controller in the line-of-sight operation effect. By changing the viewpoint of the character A by the operation of 31A, a chance suggesting object may be found.

  In the chance object lottery, if it is decided to derive and display the jackpot display result, it will be won at a higher rate than when it is not decided to derive and display the jackpot display result. When an object is found, it is suggested that there is a high possibility that it is determined that the jackpot display result is derived and displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 9C, in this embodiment, the player is above the character α in the virtual space where the chance suggesting object is placed, and the player operates the stick controller 31A to change the line-of-sight direction VD to the character A. The chance suggestion object can be found by changing the character α toward the upper side of the character α. Note that the position where the chance suggestion object is arranged may be one or may be arranged at a plurality of positions. Further, the position where the chance suggestion object is arranged may be the same position as the position corresponding to the chance suggestion image that may be displayed (for example, the feet of the character A) or a different position in the viewpoint control effect described later. But it ’s okay. Moreover, it is good also as a structure which changes the expectation level from which it is determined to derive and display the jackpot display result according to the kind of the chance suggestion object arrange | positioned.

  In the virtual space effect of the present embodiment, as described above, information related to an event that has occurred as a result of the scenario effect is displayed in the effect-related information area. Further, the scenario effect and the line-of-sight operation effect are advanced in parallel. Even when the line-of-sight operation effect is executed, a predetermined event can occur at a predetermined timing based on the scenario. The effect control CPU 120 displays effect related information related to the predetermined event in the effect related information display area when a predetermined event occurs due to the scenario effect during execution of the line of sight operation effect regardless of the control state of the line of sight operation effect. . The effect-related information display area is set at a fixed position in the display area A of the effect display device 5 regardless of the control state of the line-of-sight operation effect. The effect related information is displayed at a certain position in the display area (see FIGS. 5 to 9 and the like).

  As described above, in the line-of-sight operation effect, the virtual camera CM is set to be the viewpoint of the character A, and the virtual space viewed from the first-person viewpoint of the character A is displayed on the effect display device 5 as a visual field image. It is like that. In the state where the acceptance of the operation of the stick controller 31A is enabled, the operation of the stick controller 31A is detected, and the line-of-sight direction VD of the virtual camera CM is changed according to the operation. In addition, when the player operates the stick controller 31A, the gaze direction VD of the first-person viewpoint of the character A can be freely changed according to the operation.

  Further, when the player operates the stick controller 31A to change the sight line direction VD of the character A to the foot of the character A, the visual display image including the foot of the character A is displayed on the effect display device 5. Thus, the player can recognize that the operating viewpoint is the first-person viewpoint of the character A.

  In addition, when the effect character flag is set by the scenario effect described above and the specific character emits a dialogue or the like, the specific character is specified based on the effect character flag and is changed according to the operation of the stick controller 31A. The direction of the specific character with respect to the line-of-sight direction VD is specified, and voice data such as speech generated by the specific character is filtered using filter data corresponding to the direction, and predetermined sounds based on the audio data are sent to the speakers 8L and 8R. Control to output from. Thus, even when the line-of-sight direction VD is changed according to the operation of the stick controller 31A, the player can be made to recognize the predetermined sound from the direction in which the specific character is positioned with respect to the line-of-sight direction VD. It is possible.

  In addition, when the chance object lottery is won, the chance suggestion object is arranged at a predetermined position in the virtual space VS, and the player changes the viewpoint of the character A by operating the stick controller 31A. Can be found.

  Next, viewpoint control effects performed by the effect control CPU 120 in the virtual space effect will be described with reference to FIGS.

  When the predetermined condition (in this embodiment, winning in the turn effect lottery) is established during execution of the virtual space effect in the notice effect, the effect control CPU 120 is not a specific viewpoint of the character A or other than the character A. Any one of a plurality of viewpoints such as a specific viewpoint (in this embodiment, a specific viewpoint A of the character A, a friendly viewpoint including the character A, and specific viewpoints B, C, and D which are third party viewpoints other than the enemy character) It is possible to perform a viewpoint control effect for controlling the viewpoint of the virtual camera CM to the viewpoint. When performing the viewpoint control effect, the placement coordinates VX and the line-of-sight direction VD of the virtual camera CM are changed to a specific viewpoint in a state where the acceptance of the operation by the stick controller 31A in the above-described line-of-sight operation effect is invalidated, and the identification is performed. By displaying the visual field image based on the viewpoint on the effect display device 5 for a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds), it is suggested that it is determined to derive and display the jackpot display result. At the end of the viewpoint control effect, the placement coordinates VX and the line-of-sight direction VD of the virtual camera CM are returned to the values at the start of the viewpoint control effect.

  In the turn effect lottery, the type of the turn effect is determined as described above, and a lottery is performed to determine whether to perform the viewpoint control effect and a specific viewpoint to be controlled when the viewpoint control effect is performed. It has become. The decision to control to the specific viewpoint A of the character A is made only when the character A is decided as the defense character, and when the decision to derive and display the jackpot display result is decided. Therefore, it is determined to control the specific viewpoint A at a higher rate than when it is not determined that the jackpot display result is derived and displayed. In addition, the decision to control to the specific viewpoints B, C, and D, which are the viewpoints of the third party, may be determined when any of the attack turn and defense turn effects is determined. When it is decided to derive and display the jackpot display result, it is decided to control to the specific viewpoints B, C and D at a higher rate than when it is not decided to derive and display the jackpot display result. It has come to be.

  As shown in FIGS. 10 (a) and 10 (b), when it is determined that the viewpoint control effect for controlling the specific viewpoint A is to be performed, when the defensive turn effect is finished, that is, the character A is damaged by the attack. In such a case, the acceptance of the operation of the stick controller 31A by the above-described line-of-sight operation effect is invalidated so that the line-of-sight direction VD of the virtual camera CM becomes the specific viewpoint A in which the foot of the character A is included in the visual field range VF. The visual field image including the feet of the character A is displayed on the effect display device 5 by moving downward by a predetermined angle. Further, a damage suggestion image that suggests that the character A has been damaged is displayed on the visual field image including the feet. Then, after displaying the visual field image including the foot for a predetermined time (for example, 3 seconds), the visual line direction VD of the virtual camera CM is changed so as to return to the visual line direction when starting the viewpoint control effect. Then, the acceptance of the operation of the stick controller 31A by the line-of-sight operation effect is validated, and the viewpoint control effect is ended.

  Further, when performing the viewpoint control effect for controlling to the specific viewpoint A, when it is determined that the jackpot display result is derived and displayed, it is higher than when it is not determined that the jackpot display result is derived and displayed. A lottery winning in proportion is performed, and by winning the lottery, a chance suggestion image (in this embodiment, “CHANCE” in the visual field image including the foot of the character A when controlled to the specific viewpoint A) Image) is displayed, suggesting that there is a high possibility that it has been determined to derive and display the jackpot display result. Then, a visual field image including the chance suggestion image for a predetermined time (a sufficient time for the player to recognize that the chance suggestion image is displayed, for example, 6 seconds longer than when the chance suggestion image is not displayed). , The visual line direction VD of the virtual camera CM is changed so as to return to the visual line direction when starting the viewpoint control effect, and the visual line control effect is ended.

  As shown in FIG. 11, when it is determined that the viewpoint control effect for controlling the specific viewpoint B is to be performed, the stick controller 31A based on the above-described line-of-sight operation effect is started before the attack turn effect or the defense turn effect is started. And the visual line direction VD of the virtual camera CM is a third party viewpoint other than the viewpoints of the characters A to C and the characters α to γ, and the visual field range VF includes the back side of the character A. The visual field image including the back surface of the character A is displayed on the effect display device 5 by moving to the specific viewpoint B. Further, when performing the viewpoint control effect for controlling to the specific viewpoint B, when it is determined that the jackpot display result is derived and displayed, it is higher than when it is not determined that the jackpot display result is derived and displayed. A lottery winning in proportion is performed, and by winning the lottery, a chance suggestion image (in this example, “CHANCE” is displayed on the back of the character A included in the field-of-view image when controlled to the specific viewpoint B. Image) is displayed, suggesting that there is a high possibility that it has been determined to derive and display the jackpot display result. Then, after the visual field image including the chance suggestion image is displayed for a predetermined time (a time sufficient for the player to recognize that the chance suggestion image is displayed, for example, 5 seconds), the virtual camera CM The visual line direction VD is changed so as to return to the visual line direction when starting the viewpoint control effect, and then the visual line control effect is terminated to start the above-described attack turn effect or defense turn effect.

  As shown in FIG. 12, when it is determined that the viewpoint control effect for controlling the specific viewpoint C is to be performed, the stick controller 31A based on the above-described line-of-sight operation effect is started before the attack turn effect or the defense turn effect is started. And the gaze direction VD of the virtual camera CM is a third party viewpoint other than the viewpoints of the characters A to C and the characters α to γ, and at least one of the characters A to C in the visual field range VF. And moving to a specific viewpoint C including both the background on the side of the character and the characters A to C and at least a part of the characters α to γ and the background on the character α to γ side, and at least the characters A to C and α to γ A visual field image including a part and the background on both sides is displayed on the effect display device 5. Further, when performing the viewpoint control effect for controlling to the specific viewpoint C, when it is determined that the jackpot display result is derived and displayed, it is higher than when it is not determined that the jackpot display result is derived and displayed. By performing a lottery winning in proportion, and winning the lottery, a chance suggestion image (in this embodiment, a character on the characters A to C side as a background image included in the field of view image when controlled to a specific viewpoint C) A background image having more spectators than the α to γ side and a “CHANCE” character image) are displayed, which suggests that it is highly likely that the jackpot display result is derived and displayed. Then, after the visual field image including the chance suggestion image is displayed for a predetermined time (a time sufficient for the player to recognize that the chance suggestion image is displayed, for example, 5 seconds), the virtual camera CM The visual line direction VD is changed so as to return to the visual line direction when starting the viewpoint control effect, and then the visual line control effect is terminated to start the above-described attack turn effect or defense turn effect.

  As shown in FIG. 13, when it is determined that the viewpoint control effect to be controlled to the specific viewpoint D is determined, the stick controller 31 </ b> A based on the above-described line-of-sight operation effect is started before the attack turn effect or the defense turn effect is started. The specific viewpoint that makes the visual line direction VD of the virtual camera CM visible to the third party viewpoint other than the viewpoints of the characters A to C and the characters α to γ and allows the facial expression of the character A to be viewed. The visual display image including the face portion is displayed on the effect display device 5 so that the expression of the character A can be seen. In addition, when performing the viewpoint control effect for controlling to the specific viewpoint D, the expression effect lottery for determining the facial expressions of the characters A to C is performed based on whether or not the derivation display of the jackpot display result is determined. The facial expressions of the characters A to C that are visible from the specific viewpoint D are controlled based on the lottery result.

  In the facial expression production lottery, one of facial expressions A to C is won. For example, facial expression A and facial expression B are won at a higher rate when it is determined to derive and display the jackpot display result than when it is not determined to derive and display the jackpot display result. Regardless of whether or not it is determined that the derivation display is made, facial expression B is won at a higher rate than facial expression A. If facial expressions A and B are not won, facial expression C is won. If the expression B is won and the field image including the expression B is displayed, the jackpot display result is derived as compared to the case where the expression C is selected and the field image including the expression C is displayed. When the degree of expectation to be displayed is high and the facial expression A including the facial expression A is displayed when the facial expression A is won, the visual field image including the facial expression B is displayed when the facial expression B is won. , The jackpot display result is derived display That expectations are so higher.

  As shown in FIG. 13 (a), when the expression C is won in the expression effect lottery, the expression image of the character A is displayed on the effect display device 5 with the expression of the character A as a defective expression. By doing so, the degree of expectation determined to derive and display the jackpot display result suggests that the degree of expectation is higher than when the viewpoint control effect controlling to the specific viewpoint D is not performed. Further, as shown in FIG. 13B, when the expression B is won in the expression expression lottery, the expression image of the visual field including the face portion of the character A is set as the normal expression as the expression display device 5 This indicates that the degree of expectation that is determined to derive and display the jackpot display result is higher than that in the case of facial expression C. Further, as shown in FIG. 13C, when the expression A is won in the expression effect lottery, the expression image of the visual field including the face portion of the character A is displayed with the expression of the character A as a good expression. This indicates that the degree of expectation that is determined to derive and display the jackpot display result is higher than that in the case of facial expression B.

  In the virtual space effect of the present embodiment, as described above, information related to an event that has occurred as a result of the scenario effect is displayed in the effect-related information area. In addition, the scenario effect and the viewpoint control effect are advanced in parallel, and a predetermined event occurs at a predetermined timing based on the scenario even when the viewpoint control effect that controls the specific viewpoints A to D is executed. It will be possible. When the predetermined event occurs due to the scenario effect during execution of the viewpoint control effect, the effect control CPU 120 displays the effect related information related to the predetermined event in the effect related information display area regardless of the control state of the viewpoint control effect. . The effect related information display area is set at a fixed position in the display area A of the effect display device 5 regardless of the control state of the viewpoint control effect, and the effect display device 5 is provided even when the viewpoint control effect is being performed. The effect related information is displayed at a certain position in the display area (see FIG. 9).

  Next, an effect aspect of the notice effect produced by the effect control CPU 120 based on the VR effect pattern 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

  The virtual space effect performed based on the VR effect pattern 2 includes a scenario effect, a line-of-sight operation effect, and a viewpoint control effect as well as the virtual space effect by the VR effect pattern 1 described above. An operation request effect that requests an operation and advances the effect by performing a predetermined operation is included. Hereinafter, the scenario effect, the line-of-sight operation effect, and the viewpoint control effect in the virtual space effect performed based on the VR effect pattern 2 will be described with respect to differences from the case mainly performed based on the VR effect pattern 1.

  In the VR effect pattern 2, a plurality of scenarios are registered in advance, and when the control of the virtual space effect is started based on the VR effect pattern 2, one scenario is selected by lottery, and along the scenario. Scenario production. Further, in the scenario production in the VR production pattern 2, as in the scenario production in the VR production pattern 1, a battle production in which the ally character and the enemy character compete for a predetermined number of turns is performed, and the teammate character wins, so The fact that it has been decided to derive and display the display result is notified. Further, during the execution of the virtual space effect based on the VR effect pattern 2, the line-of-sight operation effect and the viewpoint control effect are performed in parallel with the scenario effect in the same manner as the virtual space effect based on the VR effect pattern 1, and the operation request effect is further performed. May be performed.

  In the control of the scenario effect based on the VR effect pattern 2, when starting the virtual space effect, an operation request lottery is performed to determine whether or not to perform the operation request effect and the timing for performing the operation request effect, and the operation request lottery is won. Thus, the operation request effect is performed at a predetermined timing during the scenario effect. Further, every time a predetermined timing determined in the scenario is reached, a turn effect lottery based on the execution status of the operation request effect is performed, and an attack turn effect or a defense turn effect is performed according to the lottery result.

  In the operation request effect lottery, it is determined whether or not to perform the operation request effect based on whether or not it is determined to derive and display the jackpot display result. When it is determined that the jackpot display result is derived and displayed, it is determined that the operation request effect will be performed at a higher rate than when it is not determined that the jackpot display result is derived and displayed. It has become. Thereby, the expectation to the effect that the jackpot display result is derived and displayed is increased by performing the operation request effect.

  In addition, when it is determined that the operation request effect is to be performed, a plurality of timings registered in the scenario (in this embodiment, based on whether or not the derivation display of the jackpot display result is determined) , The timing at which the scenario production is started, and the timing before any turn production is performed are registered in advance in the scenario), so that one timing is selected and the jackpot display result Is determined to be derived and displayed, the earlier timing is selected as compared to the case where it is not determined to derive and display the jackpot display result. As a result, the earlier the operation request effect is performed, the higher the degree of expectation that it has been determined to derive and display the jackpot display result.

  In the turn effect lottery, whether to perform the attack turn effect or the defense turn effect based on whether or not it is decided to derive and display the jackpot display result, whether or not the operation request effect is performed, The attack character to attack in the turn, the defensive character to be attacked, the damage received by the defensive character, and the like are determined.

  For example, when it is determined that the jackpot display result is derived and displayed, the fact that the attack turn effect is performed is compared to the case where it is not determined that the jackpot display result is derived and displayed. It is determined at a higher rate than the effect. In addition, when an operation request effect is performed before the turn effect lottery is performed, performing an attack turn effect performs a defense turn effect as compared to a case where the operation request effect is not performed. Is determined at a higher rate. Thus, after the operation request effect is performed, the frequency of performing the attack turn effect with a high expectation degree that it is determined to derive and display the jackpot display result is increased.

  Also, when it is determined that the jackpot display result is derived and displayed, the damage to the enemy character in the attack turn effect is greater than when the jackpot display result is not determined to be displayed. The rate at which the damage received from the enemy character in the defense turn production is determined to be small is high. As a result, when it is determined that the jackpot display result is derived and displayed, there is an effect that suggests that the teammate character has an advantageous situation as compared to the case where it is not determined that the jackpot display result is derived and displayed. The rate at which it is done is getting higher.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 14A, in the virtual space effect based on the VR effect pattern 2, first, the scenario effect and the line-of-sight operation effect are started in the same manner as the virtual space effect based on the VR effect pattern 1. Then, after performing the turn effect and the viewpoint control effect at a predetermined timing based on the scenario, as shown in FIG. 14 (g), depending on whether or not the jackpot display result is derived and displayed as a special display variable display result The winning image or the non-winning image is displayed to notify the result.

  In addition, as described above, when the virtual space effect based on the VR effect pattern 2 is started, when it is determined that the operation request effect lottery is performed and the operation request effect is determined in the lottery, the lottery is performed. When the selected timing is reached, an operation request effect is performed.

  In the operation request effect, first, the acceptance of the operation by the stick controller 31A as the above-described line-of-sight operation effect is invalidated, and the line-of-sight direction VD of the virtual camera CM is set to the initial direction, that is, the direction of the character α. As a result, when the line-of-sight direction VD is operated by the player due to the line-of-sight operation effect, a start image in which the character α direction (front direction) is viewed from the viewpoint of the character A is displayed on the effect display device 5 and the line of sight is displayed. This suggests that an effect different from the operation effect is started.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 14B, the first stage control of the operation request effect is started, and the operation of the operation means (in this embodiment, the stick controller 31A) that causes the player to operate as the operation request effect. The operation promotion image A1 including the image of the operation means (hereinafter also referred to as an operation means image) (in this embodiment, the operation image of the stick controller 31A and “push the stick controller 31A! Is displayed on the effect display device 5 to perform an operation promotion effect A1 that prompts the player to operate the operation means.

  As shown in FIG. 14C, after waiting in a state where the operation promotion image A1 is displayed, a predetermined time (for example, 30) after the operation of the operation unit is detected or the operation promotion image A1 is displayed. After invalidating the acceptance of the operation of the operation means on the condition that the second has elapsed, the operation means image is an item registered in the scenario of the scenario presentation being executed (in this embodiment, it is a weapon) Sword) image (hereinafter sometimes referred to as item image). After that, as shown in FIG. 14D, an item acquisition image indicating that the item has been acquired by the character A, that is, the player (in this embodiment, an image in which the item is equipped with the character A in hand and “ The character display of the item “GET !!” is displayed on the effect display device 5. Then, the operation request effect is advanced from the first stage to the second stage.

  As shown in FIG. 14 (e), in the second stage of the operation request effect, the acceptance of the operation of the operation means to be operated by the player as the operation request effect is validated, and the operation promotion image A2 ( In this embodiment, a character image and an arrow image of “shake a sword!” Suggesting that the sword acquired in the first stage is to be shaken by operating the stick controller 31A are displayed on the effect display device 5 to play the game. An operation promotion effect A2 that prompts the user to operate the operation means is performed.

  And as shown in FIG.14 (f), it waits in the state which displayed operation promotion image A2, and when operation of an operation means is detected, the item equipped in the 1st step according to the said operation is used. Then, an image in which the character A attacks the enemy character is displayed on the effect display device 5 to advance the effect. In the second stage, when the operation means is operated a plurality of times, for example, when the stick controller 31A is operated a plurality of times left and right or back and forth, the image attacked using the item is determined according to the number of operations. (In this embodiment, the image in FIG. 14 (f) is changed so that the attack is repeated by swinging the sword back and forth by the number of operations).

  Then, after displaying the operation promotion image A2, on the condition that a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) has elapsed, the acceptance of the operation of the operation means is invalidated, and the attack based on the last received operation is ended. In this case, after changing the line-of-sight direction VD of the virtual camera CM to return to the line-of-sight direction before the operation request effect is started, the operation request of the stick controller 31A as the line-of-sight operation effect is enabled. End the production.

  As shown in FIG. 14 (g), after the operation request effect is finished, the line-of-sight operation effect is resumed, and a turn effect and a viewpoint control effect are performed at a predetermined timing determined by the scenario effect. Similar to the virtual space effect based on the effect pattern 1, the winning image or the non-winning image is displayed according to whether or not the jackpot display result is derived and displayed as the fluctuation display result of the special figure, and the result is notified, and the virtual space is displayed. End the production.

  The operation means whose operation is promoted in the operation promotion effect A1 and the operation promotion effect A2 in the operation request effect may be the same operation means or different operation means. In the configuration in which the operation means for which the operation is promoted is different operation means in the operation promotion effect A1 and the operation promotion effect A2, by displaying an image or the like of the operation means to be operated in each operation promotion effect, etc. Operation can be promoted. Information about an event that occurred during the execution of the operation request effect is displayed in the effect-related information area (for example, see FIGS. 14D and 14F).

  Next, the effect aspect of the notice effect performed by the effect control CPU 120 based on the VR effect pattern 3 will be described with reference to FIGS. 15 and 16.

  In the virtual space effect performed based on the VR effect pattern 3, the scenario effect, the line-of-sight operation effect, and the viewpoint control effect are included as in the virtual space effect by the VR effect pattern 1 described above, and a predetermined operation is performed. The pose suggesting effect that suggests the stance of the battle effect by proceeding with the production is included. Hereinafter, the scenario effect, the line-of-sight operation effect, and the viewpoint control effect in the virtual space effect performed based on the VR effect pattern 3 will be described mainly on differences from the case where the effect is performed based on the VR effect pattern 1.

  In the VR effect pattern 3, a plurality of scenarios are registered in advance, and when the control of the virtual space effect is started based on the VR effect pattern 3, one scenario is selected by lottery, and along the scenario. Scenario production. Moreover, in the scenario production in the VR production pattern 3, as in the scenario production by the VR production pattern 1, a battle production in which the ally character and the enemy character compete for a predetermined number of turns is performed, and the teammate character wins, so The fact that it has been decided to derive and display the display result is notified. Further, during the execution of the virtual space effect based on the VR effect pattern 3, the line-of-sight operation effect and the viewpoint control effect are performed in parallel with the scenario effect in the same manner as the virtual space effect based on the VR effect pattern 1. May be performed.

  In the control of the scenario effect based on the VR effect pattern 3, when starting the virtual space effect, the effect suggestion lottery for determining whether or not the effect suggestion effect is performed and the timing when performing the effect suggestion is performed, and the operation request lottery is won. By doing so, a trend suggesting effect is performed at a predetermined timing during the scenario effect. Further, each time a predetermined timing determined in the scenario is reached, a turn effect lottery is performed based on the execution status of the position suggestion effect or the like, and an attack turn effect or a defense turn effect is performed according to the lottery result.

  In the trend suggestion effect lottery, it is determined whether or not the trend suggestion effect is performed based on whether or not to derive and display the jackpot display result. If it has been decided to derive and display the jackpot display result, it will be decided that the effect suggesting effect will be performed at a higher rate than when it has not been decided to derive and display the jackpot display result. It has become. As a result, the trend suggestion effect is performed, so that the degree of expectation that it has been decided to derive and display the jackpot display result is increased.

  In addition, when it is determined to perform the trend suggesting effect, a plurality of timings registered in the scenario (in this embodiment, based on whether or not to derive and display the jackpot display result is determined). , The timing at which the scenario production is started, and the timing before any turn production is performed are registered in advance in the scenario), so that one timing is selected and the jackpot display result Is determined to be derived and displayed, the earlier timing is selected as compared to the case where it is not determined to derive and display the jackpot display result. As a result, the earlier the timing suggestive effect is given, the higher the degree of expectation that it has been decided to derive and display the jackpot display result.

  In addition, when it is determined that the trend suggesting effect is to be performed, an operation promoted by an operation promotion effect B1 described later is performed based on whether or not to derive and display the jackpot display result is determined. The first mode (in this embodiment, the enemy's attack power does not change, while the friendly attack power increases), the second mode (in this example, the enemy's attack power decreases). On the other hand, the ally's attack power does not change, and the third aspect (in this embodiment, the enemy's attack power decreases while the ally's attack power increases) changes to any aspect. It is decided whether to do. When it is determined to derive and display the jackpot display result, the ratio determined for the second aspect is higher than the ratio determined for the first aspect, and the ratio determined for the third aspect is: Compared to the ratio determined in the second mode, it becomes higher. As a result, the degree of expectation that it has been determined that the jackpot display result is derived and displayed is the highest when it is changed to the third mode, and then the second mode is the highest. The case where it changes to 1 aspect becomes the lowest.

  In the turn effect lottery, whether or not it is determined to derive and display the jackpot display result, whether or not the trend suggestion effect has been performed, and when the trend suggestion effect has been performed, the mode is the first to third modes. Based on which is the attack turn production or defense turn production, the attack character attacking, the defense character under attack, the damage received by the defense character, etc. are determined. It has become.

  For example, when it is determined that the jackpot display result is derived and displayed, the fact that the attack turn effect is performed is compared to the case where it is not determined that the jackpot display result is derived and displayed. It is determined at a higher rate than the effect. In addition, when the attitude suggesting effect is performed in the third aspect by the timing of performing the turn effect lottery, the character A is compared with the case where the attitude suggesting effect is performed in the first aspect or the second aspect. The rate at which an attack turn effect is determined using the character as an attack character is higher than the rate at which an attack turn effect or defense turn effect by another character is determined. As a result, after the trend suggestion effect is performed in the third mode, the frequency of performing the attack turn effect with a high expectation degree that it is determined to derive and display the jackpot display result is increased, and the character A wins. It has become easier to understand what has become easier.

  Also, when it is determined that the jackpot display result is derived and displayed, the damage to the enemy character in the attack turn effect is greater than when the jackpot display result is not determined to be displayed. The rate at which the damage received from the enemy character in the defense turn production is determined to be small is high. As a result, when it is determined that the jackpot display result is derived and displayed, there is an effect that suggests that the teammate character has an advantageous situation as compared to the case where it is not determined that the jackpot display result is derived and displayed. The rate at which it is done is getting higher.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 15A, in the virtual space effect based on the VR effect pattern 3, first, as in the virtual space effect based on the VR effect pattern 1, the scenario effect and the line-of-sight operation effect are started. Then, after performing a turn effect and a viewpoint control effect at a predetermined timing based on the scenario, as shown in FIG. 16 (i), depending on whether or not the jackpot display result is derived and displayed as a special display variable display result The winning image or the non-winning image is displayed to notify the result.

  In addition, as described above, when the virtual space effect based on the VR effect pattern 3 is started, when it is determined to perform the trend suggestion effect lottery and the trend suggestion effect is determined in the lottery, At the time selected, the pose suggestion is performed.

  In the attitude suggesting effect, as shown in FIG. 15 (b), first, the control in the first stage is started to invalidate the acceptance of the operation by the stick controller 31A as the above-described line-of-sight operation effect, and The direction VD is set to the initial direction, that is, the direction of the character α. As a result, when the line-of-sight direction VD is operated by the player due to the line-of-sight operation effect, a start image in which the character α direction (front direction) is viewed from the viewpoint of the character A is displayed on the effect display device 5 and the line of sight is displayed. This suggests that an effect different from the operation effect is started. Thereafter, the image of the character α is changed to equip items (in this embodiment, a sword and a shield).

  After that, as shown in FIG. 15C, the operation means image of the operation means is validated by enabling the operation means (in this embodiment, the stick controller 31A) to be operated by the player as the attitude suggesting effect. The operation promotion image B1 (in this embodiment, the operation image of the stick controller 31A and the character image “Press the stick controller 31A!”) Is displayed on the effect display device 5 to prompt the player to operate the operation means. Operation promotion effect B1 is performed.

  As shown in FIGS. 15D to 15F, after waiting in a state where the operation promotion image B1 is displayed, a predetermined time after the operation of the operation means is detected or the operation promotion image B1 is displayed. On the condition that (for example, 30 seconds) has elapsed, after invalidating the acceptance of the operation of the operation means, in any one of the first to third aspects determined in the form suggestion effect lottery, An image of an enemy character, a friend character, or the like is changed, and effect related information suggesting the content of the change is displayed in the effect related information area. Then, the trend suggesting effect is advanced from the first stage to the second stage.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 15 (d), when the first mode is determined in the form suggestion effect lottery, the enemy character is not changed, while the teammate character has the item (book) so that the attack power is increased. In this embodiment, the production-related information (in this example, the character image of “Allies' attack power UP!”) Indicating that the attack power of the ally character has increased is changed. Display in the information area. Also, as shown in FIG. 15E, when the second mode is determined in the form suggestion effect lottery, the enemy character is changed so that the item that was equipped disappears and the attack power decreases. Thus, the production-related information indicating that the enemy character's attack power has decreased (in this embodiment, a character image of “Enemy's attack power DOWN!”) Is displayed in the production-related information area without changing the teammate character. Further, as shown in FIG. 15 (f), when the third mode is determined in the form suggestion lottery, the enemy character is changed so that the equipped item disappears and the attack power is reduced. The ally character is changed to equip items (in this example, sword and shield) so that the attack power increases, and the attack power of the enemy character has increased and the attack power of the enemy character has decreased. Production-related information (in this embodiment, character images of “Ally's attack power UP!” And “Enemy's attack power DOWN!”) Is displayed in the production-related information area.

  As shown in FIG. 16 (g), in the second stage of the pose suggestion effect, the acceptance of the operation of the operation means to be operated by the player as the pose suggestion effect is validated, and the operation promotion image B2 ( In the present embodiment, the characters “pull and start attack!” Indicating that the attack is performed by operating the stick controller 31A in the state indicating the attack power changed in the first stage (for example, the state of the third mode). An image and an arrow image) are displayed on the effect display device 5 to perform an operation promotion effect B2 that prompts the player to operate the operation means.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 16 (h), the operation standby image B2 is displayed in a standby state, and when an operation of the operation means is detected, the attack power changed in the first stage according to the operation is displayed. The effect display device 5 displays an image in which the character A attacks the enemy character in the manner shown, and the effect is advanced. In the second stage, when the operation means is operated a plurality of times, for example, when the stick controller 31A is operated a plurality of times left and right or back and forth, the image attacked using the item is determined according to the number of operations. (In this embodiment, the image in FIG. 16 (h) is changed so that the attack is repeated by swinging the sword back and forth by the number of operations).

  Then, after displaying the operation promotion image B2, on the condition that a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) has passed, the acceptance of the operation of the operation means is invalidated, and the attack based on the last received operation is ended. In this case, after changing the line-of-sight direction VD of the virtual camera CM so as to return to the line-of-sight direction before the appearance suggestion effect is started, the operation request of the stick controller 31A as the line-of-sight operation effect is enabled End the production.

  As shown in FIG. 16 (i), after the attitude suggesting effect is ended, the line-of-sight operation effect is resumed, and the turn effect and the viewpoint control effect are performed at a predetermined timing determined by the scenario effect. Similar to the virtual space effect based on the effect pattern 1, the winning image or the non-winning image is displayed according to whether or not the jackpot display result is derived and displayed as the fluctuation display result of the special figure, and the result is notified, End the production.

  The operation means whose operation is promoted in the operation promotion effect B1 and the operation promotion effect B2 in the operation request effect may be the same operation means or different operation means. In the configuration in which the operation means whose operation is promoted in the operation promotion effect B1 and the operation promotion effect B2 are different operation means, by displaying an image or the like of the operation means to be operated in each operation promotion effect, etc. Operation can be promoted. In addition, information related to an event that occurred during the execution of a trend suggesting effect is displayed in the effect-related information area (for example, FIGS. 15B, 15D, 15F, and 16H). reference).

  As a conventional gaming machine, there is one in which a visual field image showing a state where a virtual space is viewed from a specific viewpoint is generated and produced, and a viewpoint can be arbitrarily selected by a player's operation. In such a gaming machine, it is possible to select a viewpoint arbitrarily by the player's operation, but this is not a consideration of other effect elements accompanying the selection of the viewpoint.

  On the other hand, the pachinko gaming machine 1 which is the gaming machine of the present embodiment controls the progress of the game and can control to the jackpot gaming state which is an advantageous state advantageous to the player. A computer 100, an effect display device 5 for displaying an image, speakers 8L and 8R for outputting sound, and an effect control CPU 120 capable of executing a notice effect suggesting the possibility of being controlled in a jackpot gaming state. The effect control CPU 120 displays the visual field image viewed from the viewpoint of the specific character A in the virtual space on the effect display device 5 as the notice effect, and at the predetermined timing, the specific sound is output from the speakers 8L and 8R. The virtual space effect to be output can be performed, and the viewpoint of the specific character A can be arbitrarily changed by the player at a predetermined timing. In this case, the way of hearing is different between when the viewpoint of the specific character A is the first viewpoint (for example, the viewpoint facing the left side) and when the viewpoint is the second viewpoint (for example, the viewpoint facing the right side). This is a configuration for performing output control of specific sound. In such a configuration, in the virtual space effect in which the visual field image viewed from the viewpoint of the specific character A in the virtual space is displayed, the way of hearing the specific voice differs depending on the viewpoint of the specific character A arbitrarily changed by the player. For example, since the specific voice can be heard from different directions depending on the viewpoint, it is possible to enhance the realistic sensation of the presentation that can arbitrarily change the viewpoint of the specific character A.

  In this embodiment, the pachinko gaming machine 1 is applied as a gaming machine. However, the pachinko gaming machine 1 includes a variable display unit such as a reel capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information that can be individually identified. A configuration may be adopted in which a display result is derived by stopping the variable display, and a slot machine capable of generating a prize according to the display result is applied.

  In the present embodiment, the effect control CPU 120 is configured to suggest the possibility of being controlled in the jackpot gaming state by performing the virtual space effect as the notice effect, but by performing the virtual space effect, It is also possible to use a configuration for reporting the degree of advantage. As an advantage related to the benefit, for example, when controlled to the jackpot gaming state, after being controlled to the jackpot gaming state, it is controlled to the jackpot gaming state, a configuration that suggests the possibility of performing time-saving control or probability variation control. In the case where, after being controlled to the jackpot gaming state, a configuration that suggests whether the control of the jackpot gaming state is performed 5 rounds or 15 rounds, in the state that is controlled to the jackpot gaming state, the jackpot gaming state The configuration that suggests the possibility of time reduction control or probability variation control when the control of the game is terminated, in the state of being controlled to the jackpot gaming state, for example, whether the number of rounds of the jackpot gaming state, for example, five rounds A configuration that suggests whether 15 rounds are performed may be used.

  Also. In the present embodiment, the effect control CPU 120 uses the effect display device 5 provided in the vicinity of the center of the game board 2 of the pachinko gaming machine 1 and the speakers 8L and 8R provided at the upper part of the game machine frame 3. Although it is the structure which performs space production, the structure which provides a display, a speaker, etc., and performs virtual space production using the head mount type production device which a player can mount on a head may be sufficient. In such a configuration, the head-mounted effect device may be a configuration provided attached to the pachinko gaming machine 1 or a configuration that can be used by a player, a store, or the like. In addition, in a configuration in which a head-mounted effect device possessed by a player, a store, or the like can be used, for example, effect image data or sound output from the pachinko gaming machine 1 to the head-mount effect device by wireless or wired. It is good also as a structure which can transmit data.

  Further, the pachinko gaming machine 1 which is a gaming machine of the present embodiment can be controlled to a jackpot gaming state advantageous to the player, and is a gaming state advantageous to the player as a privilege advantageous to the player. It is a configuration that applies the right controlled to the jackpot gaming state, but the benefit is a right that can be shifted to a gaming state advantageous to the player (a lottery that determines whether or not to generate an advantageous gaming state) Winning the game, winning a prize to shift to an advantageous gaming state, etc.), the right to be notified of an operation mode for deriving a display result advantageous to the player, and an expected value to which a gaming value is given The right to be controlled to a high gaming state, the right to notify whether the current gaming state is a gaming state advantageous to the player, or an operation for deriving a display result advantageous to the player The right to improve the rate of being notified, the right to improve the rate at which the gaming value is controlled to a gaming state with a high expected value, and whether or not the current gaming state is a gaming state advantageous to the player It may be a privilege that is directly advantageous to the player, such as the right to improve the rate of notification, and is not directly advantageous to the player, but is a condition for obtaining the privilege on the Internet, for example. It may be a privilege that is indirectly advantageous to the player, such as a right.

  The pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment includes a plurality of speakers 8L and 8R, and the effect control CPU 120 performs the first operation when the viewpoint of the specific character A is the first viewpoint at a predetermined timing during execution of the virtual space effect. The configuration is such that the specific sound data is subjected to a filtering process to output a predetermined specific sound so that the speaker from which the specific sound is mainly output differs between the two viewpoints. In such a configuration, when the viewpoint of the specific character A is the first viewpoint and when the viewpoint is the second viewpoint, the specific sound may be differently heard because the speaker that mainly outputs the specific sound is different. it can.
