JP 2012-125618 A

  An object of the present invention is to improve the preference of a gaming machine in which a pattern that changes from a situation unfavorable to a player to an advantageous situation is set.

  A gaming machine according to the present invention made to solve the above-described problem includes an effect execution means capable of executing a specific effect that may be executed as at least a part of an effect for notifying the result of the determination of success or failure, As an effect mode at the end of the specific effect when there is no notification that the result of the success / failure determination is a success due to the end result of the specific effect, a plurality of ending modes having different probabilities of shifting to a situation advantageous to the player thereafter Is set.

  According to the above gaming machine according to the present invention, as the ending mode in the case where the notification that the determination result is correct is not made, a plurality of types with different probabilities of shifting to an advantageous situation are set. It is possible to construct an effect form that causes the player to pay attention to the ending form in the case where the notification that the determination result is correct is not made.

  When the winning combination or the off-going combination is finally displayed, a plurality of types of identification symbols indicating the determination result are displayed on the display device, and the determination result is determined to be a winning result by the end of the specific effect. In the case where the specific effect is not completed, the outlier combination may be displayed formally, and the plurality of types corresponding to each of the plurality of types of end forms may be displayed as the outlier combination. It is good that the combination of deviation is set.

  In this way, it is possible to indicate the probability of shifting to an advantageous situation by the outlier combination shown formally.

Symbol elements constituting each of the plurality of types of identification symbols are set, and at the end of the specific performance, the symbol elements of some of the identification symbols constituting the combination are other In a case where a first off-set combination different from the symbol elements of some identification symbols is displayed and a case where a second combination in which all the symbol elements of a plurality of identification symbols constituting the combination are displayed is displayed. Then, it is preferable that the probability of shifting to a situation advantageous to the player is different.
In this case, the symbol element may have a color tone applied to at least a part of the identification symbol.

  In this way, when the second combination is displayed by setting the second combination with the same design element (one color tone of the design element can be exemplified) to be a more advantageous situation. It is possible to clearly show that is an opportunity for the player.

A predetermined order is set in the plurality of types of identification symbols, and a reference identification symbol that is a part of the plurality of identification symbols that constitute the off-set combination displayed at the end of the specific effect, and other The probability of shifting to an advantageous situation for the player thereafter may be suggested by the degree of perspective based on the predetermined order with the comparative identification symbol that is a part.
In this case, it is preferable that the reference identification symbol is for constructing a reach state, and the comparative identification symbol is an identification symbol other than the identification symbol for constructing the reach state.

  By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to provide an effect form in which the player thinks that the degree of perspective between the reference identification symbol and the comparative identification symbol indicates something.

  The ending mode of the specific effect may indicate a probability that a reverse effect that indicates that the result of the success / failure determination that has been shown as being out of date is a subsequent hit is generated.

  Thus, it is possible to adopt a configuration in which the probability that a reverse effect occurs after a specific effect is suggested by the ending mode.

  It is an effect that may occur through the specific effect, and a special effect in which the probability that the success / failure determination result when it occurs is higher than that at the occurrence of the specific effect is executable, and the specific effect It is good that the probability that the special effect will occur afterwards is suggested by the ending mode.

  Thus, it can be set as the structure to which the probability which transfers (develops) from a specific production to a special production is suggested by the end aspect.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to improve the preference of a gaming machine in which a pattern that changes from a situation unfavorable to a player to an advantageous situation is set.

It is a front view of the gaming machine according to the present embodiment. (A) is the figure which showed typically the identification symbol (group) displayed on the display apparatus (display area | region), (b) is for demonstrating the predetermined order (fluctuation order) set to the identification symbol. (C) is the figure which divided and showed the identification symbol for every symbol element (color tone) which each symbol has. It is the figure which showed a series of flows from a specific effect to a success / failure determination result alert | report. It is the figure which showed an example (a) of the 1st deviation combination displayed at the time of failure end, and an example (b) of the 2nd deviation combination. It is a figure for demonstrating a 1st modification. It is a figure for demonstrating a 3rd modification. It is a figure for demonstrating a 4th modification. It is a figure for demonstrating the 5th modification.

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

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

  In the game area 902, a display device 91, a start winning opening 904, a big winning opening 906, an out opening, and the like are provided. The display area 911 of the display device 91 is an area that can be viewed through an opening 901 formed in the game board 90. Note that the shape and the like of the display region 911 can be changed as appropriate (the shape and size of the display region 911 can be changed by changing the shape and size of the opening 901 and the shape and size of the display device 91 itself). .

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

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

  The jackpot lottery is executed by a winning determination means provided on a control board (not shown) triggered by winning a game ball in the start winning opening 904 (a plurality of such starting winning openings may be provided). Specifically, a numerical value (hereinafter also referred to as “hit / failure determination information”) is acquired from a random number source when a game ball is won at the start winning opening 904, and the numerical value is the same as a predetermined jackpot value. If it is, it will be a big hit, otherwise it will be out of place. In this embodiment, notification of the determination result is started in the order in which the numerical values are acquired (so-called fluctuation is started), but when a certain numerical value is acquired, it is acquired before that. When the determination result based on the numerical value is informed, the determination result based on the certain numerical value is stored in a storage unit provided on a control board (not shown) until the determination result is started. The maximum storage number (maximum hold number) of a numerical value for which notification of determination of success / failure has not yet started (hereinafter may be simply referred to as hold (hold information)) can be set as appropriate. The maximum number of reservations that can be stored by the storage unit in the present embodiment is four per kind of start winning prize opening 904. The hold information stored in the storage means is displayed in the display area 911 as a hold display (not shown). In this embodiment, it is determined whether or not the acquired numerical value is a numerical value that is a big hit at the time when the notification of the determination of correctness is started. The determination result itself may be stored (in this case, the determination result itself corresponds to the determination information). Moreover, the acquired numerical value is also used as a numerical value for determining the specific content of the effect for informing the determination result.

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

  In the present embodiment, as in the case of a known gaming machine, the player is notified of the result of the success / failure determination by a combination of the identification symbols 10 (see FIG. 2A) displayed in the display area 911 of the display device 91. Specifically, an identification symbol group 10g including a plurality of types of identification symbols 10 (left identification symbol group 10gL, middle identification symbol group 10gC, right identification symbol group 10gR) starts to change, and finally from each identification symbol group 10g. One identification symbol 10 is selected and stopped. When the jackpot is won, the combination of the identification symbols 10 selected and stopped from each of the identification symbol groups 10g is a predetermined combination (for example, a set of three identical identification symbols 10). If it is out of place, it becomes a combination other than that (other than the combination that is a big hit). In each figure, only “numbers (characters)” constituting the identification symbol 10 are shown, but a symbol in which the numerals and characters are combined can be set as the identification symbol 10.

  In the present embodiment, each identification symbol group 10g is composed of identification symbols including any number from “1” to “7” (see FIG. 2B). The number of types of identification symbols 10 included in each identification symbol group 10g can be increased or decreased as appropriate. The types of the identification symbols 10 included in each identification symbol group 10g are preferably the same, but the identification symbols 10 included in any one of the identification symbol groups 10g are included in the other identification symbol groups 10g. There may be a special effect that is different from the type.

  A predetermined order is set for a plurality of types of identification symbols 10 included in each identification symbol group 10g. The “predetermined order” in the present embodiment is the order of numbers included in each symbol. That is, “1”, “2”, “3”, “6”, “7”, “1”, “2”,... Are set in this order (see FIG. 2B). When each identification symbol group 10g is variably displayed, it is scroll-displayed in the predetermined order. However, it is not denied that a pattern (effect) that is displayed in a variable order in a different order from this order is set. That is, it can be said that the “predetermined order” is a normal fluctuation order.

  Each of the plurality of types of identification symbols is constituted by various components (hereinafter also referred to as symbol elements). In the present embodiment, a color tone is set as one of the symbol elements. Specifically, the identification symbols “3” and “7” (hereinafter also referred to as first type identification symbol 10A) are red, and the identification symbols “1” and “5” (hereinafter referred to as second type identification symbol 10B). (There may be referred to as “green”), and the other symbols “2”, “4”, and “6” (hereinafter also referred to as the third type identification symbol 10C) have a blue color ( (Refer FIG.2 (c)). In other words, the player grasps the color tone of each symbol, so that the symbols “3” and “7”, the symbols “1” and “5”, and the symbols “2”, “4” and “6” are in the same group. You will get the impression that it belongs to. In each figure, the first type identification symbol 10A is a cross hatched aspect, and the second type identification symbol 10B is a hatched type including hatching only in the same direction, the third type A difference in color tone is represented by adopting a mode in which no pattern is added to the identification symbol 10C (no hatching).

  It is good also as a structure which gives the impression that each symbol is divided in this way by symbol elements other than "color tone". In the present embodiment, the color tone (design element) of each design also acts as a notification of the type of jackpot. Specifically, the profit that the player enjoys when the jackpot is notified by the first type identification symbol 10A is larger than the profit that the player enjoys when the jackpot is notified by the second type identification symbol 10B. Is set. Further, the benefit that the player enjoys when the jackpot is notified by the second type identification symbol 10B is set to be larger than the benefit that the player enjoys when the jackpot is notified by the third type identification symbol 10C. Yes. Benefits that a player enjoys are the expected value of a game ball (so-called ball) that can be acquired during a jackpot, or a game state that transitions after the jackpot game ends (in the case of transition to an advantageous game state) Can be set from various viewpoints.

  In the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, various effects for improving the game preference are executed. In the present embodiment, a specific effect can be executed as a kind of the effect. Hereinafter, the specific effect will be described in detail.

  The specific effect (see FIG. 3) in the present embodiment basically indicates the result of the determination as to whether or not the result is correct. Specifically, success endings (see FIGS. 3B and 3C) and unsuccessful endings (see FIGS. 3D and 3E) are set as specific endings (a plurality of types of endings are provided). May be.) Except for the case where a reversal effect, which will be described in detail later, occurs, a success ending is basically obtained when the success / failure determination result is a big hit, and a failure ending is obtained when the determination result is out of date. It can be said that the specific effect in the present embodiment is a so-called super reach effect. The super reach effect is a known reach state (a state where there is still a possibility of winning a big hit when the identification symbols selected from a part of the identification symbol group 10g are stopped or pseudo-stopped. This is an effect that may be executed when the identification symbol 10 selected from the left identification symbol group 10gL and the right identification symbol group 10gR is the same symbol). It indicates to the player that the probability that the determination result is a jackpot has increased (so-called jackpot expectation has increased). A configuration in which a plurality of types of specific effects are provided may be used.

  Any specific aspect of the specific performance may be used. In this embodiment, the teammate character and the enemy character fight (see FIG. 3A) and the teammate character wins as a successful outcome (see FIGS. 3B and 3C). A mode (see FIGS. 3D and 3E) in which the side character is defeated is set.

  As described above, it can be said that the success ending of the specific performance is notified that the success / failure determination result is a jackpot, whereas the failure ending is not notified that the determination result is a jackpot. In the present embodiment, a plurality of types of modes (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as a ending mode) are set as modes at the time of a failure ending that is “not notified of a big hit”. Hereinafter, this point will be described in detail.

  In the present embodiment, a first ending mode and a second ending mode are set as modes at the time of failure ending. Since any of the ending modes is a mode in which “the jackpot is not notified”, formally, “the combination that is out of place” is displayed as the identification symbol. In the present embodiment, since the same set of identification symbols is shown as a combination of identification symbols indicating that it is a big hit, a combination that is not the same set of identification symbols is displayed. In addition, since the specific effect is an effect that shifts as a result of the establishment of the so-called reach state, a combination is displayed in which the identification symbol on the left and the identification symbol on the right are the same, and the identification symbol in the inside is a different symbol. Will be. The combination of the identification symbols displayed as the ending mode is “formal” because the notification of the determination result is not completed at the stage where the ending mode is displayed. As with known gaming machines, the completion of notification of the determination result is indicated in a state in which the variation (movement) of the identification symbol is completely stopped, but at the stage where the ending mode is displayed (the reverse effect described later is The variation of the identification symbol is assumed to be a state in which it has not completely stopped (hereinafter, this state may be referred to as a pseudo stop). Examples of the pseudo stop state include a state in which the symbol is slightly shaken.

  In the present embodiment, the combination of identification symbols formally shown as the first ending mode is the first off-set combination 21, and the combination of identification symbols formally shown as the second ending mode is the second off-set combination 22. (See FIGS. 3 (e) and 4).

  The first off-set combination 21 is a combination mode in which the symbol elements of some of the identification symbols constituting the combination are different from the symbol elements of some other identification symbols (FIG. 4A). reference). According to the present embodiment, the color tone of one of the three identification symbols is different from the color tone of another identification symbol (the color tone of all the identification symbols is not the same). That is. Since the specific effect in the present embodiment occurs when the reach state is established, the color tone of the left identification symbol and the right identification symbol is the same. Therefore, it can be said that the first off-set combination 21 is different in color tone of the left identification symbol and the right identification symbol, and the color tone of the middle identification symbol.

  The second off-set combination 22 is a combination mode in which all the symbol elements of the plurality of identification symbols constituting the combination are common (same) (see FIG. 4B). According to the present embodiment, it is a combination in which the color tones of all three identification symbols are the same. Since the specific effect in the present embodiment occurs when the reach state is established, the color tone of the left identification symbol and the right identification symbol is the same. Therefore, it can be said that in the second misalignment combination 22, the color tone of the left identification symbol and the right identification symbol is the same as the color tone of the middle identification symbol. The second off-set combinations 22 are “7 · 3 · 7” (a combination in which the color tone is “red”), “1 · 5 · 1” (a combination in which the tone is “green”), “2 · 4 · 2” ( For example, the color tone is “blue”.

  In the present embodiment, the reverse effect may occur after the end result of the specific effect becomes a failure result (see FIG. 3F). The reversal effect is that the result of the failure determination of the specific effect is shown as if the result of the success / failure judgment is out of place, and then it is actually shown that it was a big hit (referred to as “revival effect” etc.) There is also a production). As described above, when the determination result is a big hit, a part of the determination result is notified by the reverse effect after the failure result of the specific effect. In the present embodiment, when the reverse rotation effect does not occur, it is notified that it is out of place (see FIG. 3G).

  Any specific aspect of the reverse effect may be used. The specific effect in the present embodiment is an effect in which the ally character and the enemy character fight, and the failure ending is an aspect in which the ally character is defeated, so that the defeated ally character revives and wins as a reverse effect. Is set (see FIG. 3F).

  The difference between whether the first off-set combination 21 or the second off-set combination 22 is displayed formally at the time of failure of the specific production is in the high probability that a reverse production will occur. Specifically, at the time of FIG. 3E, the second deviation combination 22 (see FIG. 4B) is displayed rather than the case where the first deviation combination 21 (see FIG. 4A) is displayed. In such a case, the probability that a reverse effect will occur is set to be higher. Therefore, when a specific production results in failure, the player can grasp the level of expectation that the reverse production will occur based on the combination of the identification symbols displayed at that time. As a result, the game becomes more attractive.

  Note that a reverse effect occurs when the first deviation combination 21 is displayed rather than when the second deviation combination 22 is displayed, that is, when the first deviation combination 22 is displayed. It is good also as a structure set so that the probability which shifts to a condition) becomes high. However, since the second misalignment combination 22 is an aspect in which the symbol elements of the identification symbols are the same, the appearance is easy to understand. For this reason, it is easier to understand the effect when the case where the second deviation combination 22 is shown as being preferable for the player as in the present embodiment.

  Hereinafter, modified examples in which the gaming machine 1 according to the above-described embodiment is improved or modified will be described. In addition, it is good also as a structure which applied combining the matter demonstrated using each modification.

First Modification A difference in value for the player may be set in the second deviation combination 22. Speaking in accordance with the above-described embodiment, the second off-set combination 22 (for example, the combination of “7, 3, 7”) by the first type identification symbol 10A (see FIG. 5A), by the second type identification symbol 10B. Second misalignment combination 22 (for example, a combination of “1, 5, 1”) (see FIG. 5B), second misalignment combination 22 based on the third-type identification symbol 10C (for example, a combination of “2, 4, 2”) It is assumed that the probability that a reverse effect will subsequently occur differs depending on which of them is displayed formally (see FIG. 5C). In addition, in the configuration in which a plurality of types (three or more types) of second misalignment combinations 22 are set as in this example, for two or more types of second misalignment combinations 22 among the plurality of types of second misalignment combinations 22, It is good also as a setting with the same probability that reverse production will generate | occur | produce.

  As described above, the value of the symbol for the player when configuring the jackpot combination is set so that the value of the first type identification symbol 10A is the highest and the value of the third type identification symbol 10C is the lowest. Therefore, when the second misalignment combination 22 based on the first type identification symbol 10A is displayed, the probability that a reverse effect will occur is the highest, and when the second misalignment combination 22 based on the third type identification symbol 10C is displayed. Is preferably set to the lowest probability that a reverse effect will occur (see FIG. 5). In other words, it is preferable that the value for the player indicated by each identification symbol when notifying the jackpot is linked to the likelihood of a reverse effect.

  With such a configuration, not only that the first deviation combination 21 or the second deviation combination 22 is displayed at the time of failure of the specific performance, but the second deviation combination 22 is the first type identification symbol 10A. It can be set as the production aspect which pays attention also to which is comprised by 10C of 3rd type identification symbols.

Second Modified Example In the above embodiment, a reverse effect (to a situation that is more advantageous to the player) is displayed when the second deviation combination 22 is displayed than when the first deviation combination 21 is displayed. This is a setting in which there is a high probability that a reverse effect will occur even if any off-set combination is displayed. On the other hand, when a reverse effect occurs, the second deviation combination 22 may be displayed without fail. That is, when the first deviation combination 21 is displayed, the reverse effect is not generated, and the reverse effect may be generated at least partially when the second deviation combination 22 is displayed. Further, when the second misalignment combination 22 is displayed, a configuration in which a reverse effect is always generated may be employed. That is, it is not certain whether or not a reverse effect is generated when the first deviation combination 21 is displayed, but a configuration may be employed in which a reverse effect is always generated when the second deviation combination 22 is displayed. If comprised in this way, it is possible to raise the value that the 2nd deviation combination 22 is displayed.

  Further, a reverse effect may not be generated when the first deviation combination 21 is displayed, and a reverse effect may be always generated when the second deviation combination 22 is displayed. If constituted in this way, it is possible to clarify the difference between the first deviation combination 21 and the second deviation combination 22.

○ Third Modification In the above embodiment, it has been explained that the probability that a reverse effect will be generated is suggested by the mode of the combination of offenses that is formally displayed at the time of failure of a specific effect. It is not limited to reverse production. Any event indicating that the player has moved in a more advantageous direction for the player may be used. For example, as shown below, it is good also as a thing which suggests the level of the probability which transfers to the production with the high probability that the determination result is a big hit.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the special effect (see FIG. 6 (FIG. 6)) at least in the case where the notification of the big hit (see FIG. 6 (b)) does not occur due to the end of the specific effect (see FIG. 6 (a)). d) See)). That is, it is set as the structure which may develop into the special production which shows that the probability which becomes a jackpot further from the specific production increased. If the transition to the special effect is set as it is when the transition to the special effect is not made (see FIG. 6E), the transition to the special effect is advantageous to the player in that the possibility of a big hit remains. It can be said that it is a transition to. If terms commonly used in the gaming machine field are used, it can be said that the specific effect is a weak reach effect and the special effect is a strong reach effect.

  It is assumed that the transition to the special effect is suggested by the end aspect. That is, at the time shown in FIG. 6C, the probability that the second shift combination 22 is displayed is higher than the case where the first shift combination 21 is displayed in a formally, when the second shift combination 22 is displayed. Set. Since the reversal effect in the above embodiment is an effect that is determined to be a big hit by the occurrence, it is assumed that the form of the outlier combination shown in the form directly suggests the probability that the result of the determination is a big hit On the other hand, as shown in this example, the configuration that suggests the probability of shifting to an effect (higher effect) that increases the probability that the result of the success / failure determination will be a big hit, the form of the off-combination combination that is formally shown is the success / failure determination It can be said that the result indirectly suggests the probability of being a big hit.

Fourth Modification In the above embodiment, the first deviation combination 21 in which the symbol elements of each identification symbol are not the same is displayed, or the second deviation combination 22 in which the symbol elements of each identification symbol are the same is displayed. According to the above, it has been explained that the probability of shifting to a situation advantageous to the player thereafter (reversal effect occurs) is suggested, but suggestion modes other than the suggestion mode based on the symbol elements are also conceivable.

  This example utilizes the fact that the above-mentioned “predetermined order” is set for a plurality of types of identification symbols included in the identification symbol group 10g. Specifically, a reference identification symbol 10X that is a part of a plurality of identification symbols that form a combination that is formally displayed at the end of a specific performance, and a comparative identification symbol 10Y that is another part. Depending on the degree of perspective based on a predetermined order, the probability of subsequently shifting to an advantageous situation for the player is suggested. In this example, the reference identification symbol 10X is an identification symbol constituting the reach state, and the comparative identification symbol 10Y is an identification symbol other than the reference identification symbol 10X (see FIG. 7). If the reach state is a state in which the same identification symbol selected from the left identification symbol group 10gL and the right identification symbol group 10gR is stopped or pseudo-stopped, the left identification symbol and the right identification symbol (identification of the same type) The symbol) is the reference identification symbol 10X, and the identification symbol inside is the comparative identification symbol 10Y. Among a plurality of identification symbols (three in this example) for reporting the determination result, more than half (two in this example) of the same type are standard identification symbols 10X, and less than the other half It can also be said that the identification symbol (one in this example) is the comparative identification symbol 10Y.

  “The degree of perspective based on a predetermined order” refers to how far the reference identification symbol 10X and the comparative identification symbol 10Y are separated from each other with reference to the “predetermined order”. For example, the identification symbol “5” and the identification symbol “6” can be regarded as being “1” apart, and the identification symbol “5” and the identification symbol “7” are “2” apart. Can be seen. In addition, since the identification symbol next to the identification symbol of “7” is the identification symbol of “1”, the identification symbol of “7” and the identification symbol of “1” can be regarded as being “1” apart. The identification symbol “7” and the identification symbol “2” can be regarded as being “2” apart.

  In this example, it is set so that the probability that the reference identification symbol 10X and the comparative identification symbol 10Y are closer to each other and then the player is in a situation advantageous to the player (the reverse effect is generated) will increase. For example, in the case of a specific effect that has shifted to after the reach state of 7 has been reached, if a deviation combination of “7, 6, 7” or “7, 1, 7” is displayed (see FIG. 7A), The difference between the identification symbol 10X and the comparative identification symbol 10Y (hereinafter also referred to as a symbol difference) is “1”, which is the closest aspect, and is most likely to shift to a situation advantageous to the player thereafter. Become. If the setting is such that all kinds of combinations that can be considered as a mode of the combination of losing combinations that are displayed at the end of failure of the specific performance after the reach state of 7 is established, it is arranged in order from the combination with the highest probability.・ 6 ・ 7 」「 7 ・ 1 ・ 7 」(design difference“ 1 ”; see FIG. 7A),“ 7 ・ 5 ・ 7 ”“ 7 ・ 2 ・ 7 ”(design difference“ 2 ”; 7 (see FIG. 7 (b)), “7 · 4 · 7”, “7 · 3 · 7” (design difference “3”; see FIG. 7 (c)). It should be noted that all possible types of outlier combinations do not occur, such as only the “1” and “2” differences between the symbols as the outlier combinations that are formally displayed at the end of the failure of the specific performance. It is good also as a setting.

  The configuration opposite to this example, that is, the probability that the probability of shifting to a situation that is more advantageous to the player (the occurrence of a reverse effect) is increased as the reference identification symbol 10X and the comparative identification symbol 10Y are further away. Also good.

O Fifth Modification This is a further developed example of the fourth modification. In the fourth modified example, it has been explained that the probability of shifting to a situation advantageous to the player is suggested depending on the degree of perspective of the reference identification symbol 10X and the comparative identification symbol 10Y. Also good. For example, the difference between “5, 6, 5” and “5, 4, 5” as the off-set combination is “1”, and therefore the degree of perspective of the reference identification symbol 10X and the comparative identification symbol 10Y is the same. However, the case where “5, 6, 5” is displayed (see FIG. 8A) is more than the case where “5, 4, 5” is displayed (see FIG. 8B). It is good also as a setting from which the probability that it will shift to a situation advantageous to a player becomes high. That is, the comparative identification symbol 10Y is more advantageous to the player than the reference identification symbol 10X when the “rear” symbol is based on the “predetermined order” as compared to the “front” symbol. It is set to increase the probability of shifting. If comprised in this way, another element will be added in addition to the perspective of the reference | standard identification symbol 10X and the comparison identification symbol 10Y as an element which suggests the probability of shifting to a situation advantageous to a player.

  The configuration opposite to this example, that is, when the comparative identification symbol 10Y is the “front” symbol based on the “predetermined order” rather than the “rear” symbol than the reference identification symbol 10X. It is good also as a setting from which the probability that it will shift to a situation advantageous to a player becomes high.

  In addition, since the 4th modification and the 5th modification do not suggest the probability that the symbol element (color tone) of the identification symbol will shift to an advantageous situation, the symbol element (color tone) in FIG. 7 and FIG. Is not shown. However, it is not denied that each identification symbol includes the same symbol element as in the above embodiment.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.
