Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine.

  A gaming machine capable of executing an effect in which a plurality of effect elements constituting a music or the like are sequentially output is known (for example, see Patent Document 1 below).

JP 2013-27785 A

  The problem to be solved by the present invention is to improve the preference of a gaming machine capable of executing an effect in which a plurality of effect elements are sequentially output.

  The gaming machine according to the present invention made to solve the above problems is an effect in which a plurality of effect elements are output in order, and a state in which a next effect element is output from a state in which a certain effect element is output There is provided an effect execution means for executing a first effect and a second effect in which a branch point that is a branch as to whether or not the effect continues and the first effect and the second effect are branched. The point setting mode is different.

  In the first effect, all of the effect elements may be set as the branch points.

  In the second effect, only the effect element immediately before the final stage and the effect element in the final stage may be set as the branch point.

  It is preferable that at least a part of the specific music piece is constituted by the plurality of effect elements.

  As a gaming state in which the player plays with the aim of winning, a first gaming state and a second gaming state different from the first gaming state are set. In the first gaming state, the first effect is And the second effect may be generated in the second gaming state.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to improve the preference of a gaming machine capable of executing an effect in which a plurality of effect elements are sequentially output.

1 is a front view of a gaming machine according to an embodiment of the present invention. It is the figure which showed the state by which the identification symbol was displayed on the display apparatus (display area). It is a figure for demonstrating the outline | summary of object music. It is the figure which showed an example of the 1st production. It is the figure which showed an example of the 2nd effect. It is a figure for demonstrating a 1st specific example. It is a figure for demonstrating a 2nd example. It is a figure for demonstrating a 3rd example. It is a figure for demonstrating a 6th example.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of a gaming machine 1 according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. First, the overall configuration of the gaming machine 1 will be briefly described with reference to FIG. The gaming machine 1 includes a game board 90. The game board 90 is formed of a substantially square plywood, and a guide rail 903 that forms a path for guiding a game ball launched by operating the launching device 908 (launching handle) to the gaming area 902 has a substantially arc shape. It is provided as follows.

  In the game area 902, a start winning opening 904, a big winning opening 906, an out opening 907, and the like are provided. The display device 91 is provided behind the game board 90, and the display area 911 of the display device 91 is an area that can be viewed through an opening 901 formed in the game board 90. In each figure, the display area 911 is roughly described, but the shape and the like can be changed as appropriate (displayed by changing the shape and size of the opening 901 and the shape and size of the display device 91 itself). The shape or the like of the region 911 can be changed).

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

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

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

  Winning lottery (winning determination) is executed by a winning determination means provided on a control board (not shown) triggered by a winning of a game ball in the start winning opening 904 shown in FIG. Multiple may be provided). In this embodiment, the winning “mouth” (the winning game ball is taken in), but the winning “area” (the winning game ball flows down the game area 902 as it is. The winning area is the gate. The thing which made such an aspect can be illustrated. When a game ball is won at the start winning opening 904, a numerical value (acceptance determination information) is acquired from a random number source, and if the numerical value is the same as a predetermined jackpot value, It will be out of place. In addition, the start winning opening 904 does not have to pay out a predetermined number of game balls (so-called prize balls) triggered by detection of entry of game balls.

  Whether the determination result is a big hit or not is notified by a combination of a plurality of types of identification symbols 10 (see FIG. 2) displayed in the display area 911 of the display device 91. Specifically, three identification symbol groups each including a plurality of types of identification symbols 10 are variably displayed, and the combination is constructed by stopping one identification symbol 10 selected from each identification symbol group. As a combination showing a big hit, a set of three identical identification symbols 10 can be exemplified. If it is out of place, the identification symbol 10 stops in a combination other than the combination that is a big hit.

  If the jackpot is won, a jackpot game is executed. In the jackpot game, the big winning opening 906 is frequently opened, and the player can acquire many game balls (so-called game balls). During the jackpot game, one of a plurality of types of music whose details will be described later is output. It should be noted that the control directly connected to the so-called game ball, such as the determination of success / failure and the control of the big winning opening 906 in the big hit game, is performed by a circuit built on the main control board. On the other hand, the music output during the jackpot game, which will be described in detail later, is controlled by a circuit built on the sub-control board.

  In the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, various effects are controlled by a circuit constructed on a sub-control board that is a board for effect control. As a kind of the production, the first production 31 and the second production 32 can be executed. Hereinafter, the first effect 31 and the second effect 32 will be described in detail.

  Both the first effect 31 and the second effect 32 are common in that a plurality of effect elements are sequentially output. In the present embodiment, each of the plurality of effect elements is a part of a certain music piece (corresponding to a specific music piece in the present invention. Hereinafter, it may be referred to as the target music piece 20). That is, it can be said that the first effect 31 and the second effect 32 are effects in which the target music 20 (the same music) is output from the speaker 92 that is a sound output means. At least a part of the target music piece 20 is configured by the plurality of effect elements. In the present embodiment, the target music piece 20 is only one type, but a plurality of types of music pieces may be set as the target music piece 20. However, even when multiple types of music pieces are set as the target music piece 20 as described above, both the first effect 31 and the second effect 32 using the respective music items are executed. That is, it is not a configuration in which only one of the first effect 31 and the second effect 32 occurs for a certain piece of music.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the target music 20 is divided into a plurality of parts, and each functions as an effect element. In the present embodiment, the passages constituting the target music piece 20 are set as effect elements. Here, the “section” means each part when the target music piece 20 is divided into elements such as intro, A melody, B melody, and chorus. In other words, each section divided by good parts based on the lyrics and melody of the music is a “section”. The target musical piece 20 in this embodiment is divided into intro, chorus 1, A melody, B melody, chorus 2, and proceeds in this order. In other words, it is composed of five effect elements. In the following description, the intro is referred to as the first effect element 21, the chorus 1 as the second effect element 22, the A melody as the third effect element 23, the B melody as the fourth effect element 24, and the chorus 2 as the fifth effect element 25. . It should be noted that there may be three or more effect elements constituting the target music piece 20.

  The first effect 31 will be described. The first effect 31 shown in FIG. 4 is an effect in which effect elements are output in order from the first effect element 21. As will be described later, in this respect, the second effect 32 is the same. In the first effect 31, a branch point is set as to whether or not the effect continues from the state in which a certain effect element is output to the state in which the next effect element is output. The branch point is set between all effect elements. That is, the first branch point 311 indicating whether the production continues from the state in which the first production element 21 is output to the state in which the second production element 22 is output, or whether the production ends without transition. The second branch point 312 indicating whether the production continues from the state where the second performance element 22 is output to the state where the third performance element 23 is output, or whether the production ends without transition. The third branch point 313 indicating whether the production continues from the state in which the third production element 23 is output and the fourth production element 24 is output, or whether the production ends without making a transition. The fourth branch point 314 is set to indicate whether the production continues from the state in which the fourth effect element 24 is output to the state in which the fifth effect element 25 is output, or whether the effect ends without transition. The

  From the player's point of view, the hurdles to be cleared, the first branch point 311 to the fourth branch point 314, are visited in order, and when all are cleared, the first effect 31 continues (completes) until the end. It becomes. Any effect may be executed at each branch point. Further, the generated effects may be different each time. In the present embodiment, at each branch point, a video (such as a video that repeatedly repeats the increase and decrease in brightness) is output, and then the next effect element is output. Either a transition to a state or a dark end occurs. It may be an aspect in which an operation of the operation means 93 (see FIG. 1) such as a push button is prompted to indicate whether or not the production continues.

  The first effect 31 in the present embodiment is an effect of notifying the target determination result based on the end result. In the present embodiment, the target success / failure determination result is a big hit when the first effect 31 continues until the state where the fifth effect element 25 is output via the fourth branch point 314 (the state shown in FIG. 4E). It is notified that there is. In other cases, that is, unless the state is shifted to the state where the fifth effect element 25 is output, the process is terminated (see FIG. 4F), and it is notified that there is a deviation. That is, even if the production ends at any of the first branch point 311 to the fourth branch point 314, it is still the fact that the target determination result is out of place, so that the player obtains profit From the point of view, it can be said that there is no difference at any stage when the production ends. However, this is only an example. The first effect 31 does not notify the target's success / failure determination result, but only suggests a probability that the target's success / failure determination result is a hit (hereinafter, sometimes simply referred to as a (hit) reliability). Good. In this case, the degree of reliability can be suggested depending on to which stage the first effect 31 is advanced (to which effect element is output until the effect is output).

  The second effect 32 will be described. The second effect 32 shown in FIG. 5 is an effect in which effect elements are output in order from the first effect element 21, similarly to the first effect 31. Also in the second effect 32, a branch point is set as to whether or not the effect continues from the state in which a certain effect element is output to the state in which the next effect element is output. However, unlike the first effect 31, there is one branch point set in the second effect 32 (hereinafter, the branch point may be referred to as a single branch point). In the present embodiment, a single branch point 321 of the second effect 32 is set between the fourth effect element 24 and the fifth effect element 25. In other words, the second effect 32 is set as a branch point (single branch point 321) only between the effect element immediately before the final stage and the effect element in the final stage. In other words, since the second effect 32 is that no branch point is set between the effect elements in the first effect element 21 to the fourth effect element 24, the second effect 32 is output from the first effect element 21. Starting from the state where the second effect element 22 is output and the state where the third effect element 23 is output, the process always proceeds to the state where the fourth effect element 24 is output (FIG. 5A to ( The aspect of d) always occurs). And it is alert | reported that the success determination result of object is jackpot with the 1st production 31 continuing until the state (state shown to FIG.5 (e)) in which the 5th production element 25 is output. If it does not shift to the state in which the fifth effect element 25 is output, it is terminated (see FIG. 5 (f)), and it is notified that there is a deviation. As with each branch point in the first effect, any effect executed at the single branch point 321 may be used.

  The first production 31 and the second production 32 are different in the manner of setting the branch points (the same manner is used when the position and number of the set branch points are exactly the same, and the different manners are different in the manner). To do). The advantages of such a configuration are as follows. The first effect 31 and the second effect 32 are common in that the first effect element 21 to the fifth effect element 25 may be output. That is, it is common in that the same part of the same music (target music 20) is used. For example, when the first effect 31 has progressed to the state where the fourth effect element 24 or the fifth effect element 25 is output, the second effect 32 is output as the fourth effect element 24 or the fifth effect element 25, respectively. When each of the performances is advanced to the same state, both effects are the same in terms of “sound”, which is one of the effects. If the same music is used, the content that appeals to the player's sense (in this embodiment, it is “music”, which means hearing) will be exactly the same. There is a high probability of feeling like this.

  However, in the present embodiment, the first effect 31 and the second effect 32 are different in the manner of setting a branch point that determines whether or not the effect continues. Therefore, even if the player touches both the first effect 31 and the second effect 32, the player receives an impression as if the two effects are different effects. That is, the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment can execute a plurality of types of effects that give different impressions even though the same music is used.

  In particular, as in the present embodiment, a branch point is set for all the effects (first effect 31) between the effect elements, and a branch point is set for a part of the other effect (second effect 32) between the effect elements. With the set configuration, the difference between the two effects is emphasized.

  In the present embodiment, the number of branch points (four) set in the first effect 31 is the maximum number that can be set based on the number of effect elements (five). On the other hand, the number (one) of branch points set in the second effect 32 is a minimum number as a matter of course. That is, since the difference in the number of set branch points is the largest (three), the difference between the two effects is more emphasized.

  Hereinafter, a specific example in which the gaming machine 1 according to the above embodiment is improved, modified, or embodied will be described focusing on differences from the above embodiment. In addition, it is good also as a structure which applied multiple technical thought demonstrated using each specific example.

-1st specific example In the said embodiment, as for the 1st production 31, the branch point (the 1st branch point 311-the 4th branch point 314) is set to all between each production elements, and the 2nd production 32 is one of the last steps. Although it has been explained that a branch point (single branch point 321) is set between the previous stage element and the last stage stage element, the method of changing the mode of setting the branch point is not limited to this. Absent. As an example different from the above embodiment, the following configuration is conceivable.

  None of the branch points set in the first effect 31 overlap with the branch points set in the second effect 32. For example, the first effect 31 sets branch points between the first effect element 21 and the second effect element 22 and between the third effect element 23 and the fourth effect element 24 (see FIG. 6A). The second effect 32 sets a branch point between the second effect element 22 and the third effect element 23, and between the fourth effect element 24 and the fifth effect element 25 (see FIG. 6B). In this way, the difference between the two effects is further emphasized by preventing any of the branch points set in both effects from overlapping.

-2nd specific example In the said embodiment, although the 1st production 31 and the 2nd production 32 using the same music (target music 20) were demonstrated, the 3 or more types of production using the same music was performed. It may be executable. It is only necessary that three or more types of effects have different branch point setting modes. For example, the first effect 31 (see FIG. 7A) in which a branch point is set between all the effect elements described in the above embodiment, and a branch between the fourth effect element 24 and the fifth effect element 25. In addition to the second effect 32 in which points are set (see FIG. 7B), a branch is made between the first effect element 21 and the second effect element 22 and between the fourth effect element 24 and the fifth effect element 25. It is assumed that a third effect (see FIG. 7C) in which points are set can occur.

Third Specific Example Both the first effect 31 and the second effect 32 are most pleasing to the player to shift to a state where the final stage effect element (the fifth effect element 25 in the above embodiment) is output. It is set as a situation. Therefore, after shifting to the state in which the final stage effect element is output, it is conceivable that the player does not show much interest in the contents of the effect. Therefore, the contents of the final stage effect elements in both effects need not be completely the same (in other words, the effect elements other than the final stage in both effects are the same). Specifically, the final stage production element of the first production 31 and the final stage production element of the second production 32 have the same mode for a predetermined period from the beginning to a certain point in time, but the modes after that are different. It may be allowed. For example, the time to output the final stage production element of the first production 31 and the final stage production element of the second production 32 are made different (the time to output the portion of “rust 2” according to the above embodiment). (Refer to FIG. 8).

-4th specific example The state which can produce the 1st production 31 and the 2nd production 32 is limited. It is assumed that a second gaming state different from the first gaming state and the first gaming state is set as a gaming state in which the player aims to win the jackpot. In this case, in one game state of the first game state and the second game state, the first effect 31 can occur, but the second effect 32 does not occur, and the other game state However, the second effect 32 can occur, but the first effect 31 does not occur. As described above, if each of the first effect 31 and the second effect 32 is an effect corresponding to the gaming state, it is more difficult to understand that the effect is the same music.

・ Fifth example (example of further development of the fourth example)
A low probability state (normal gaming state) with a low probability of winning the big hit lottery is set as the first gaming state, and a high probability state (probability variation state) with a high probability of winning the big hit lottery is set as the second gaming state. Suppose that In one game state of the low probability game state and the high probability game state, the first effect 31 can be generated, but the second effect 32 is not generated, and in the other game state, The second effect 32 can be generated, but the first effect 31 is not generated.

  If the number of branch points set differs between the first effect 31 and the second effect 32, in the low-probability gaming state, an effect with a larger number of set branch points occurs (number of branch points). The production with the smaller number of branch points is generated in the high probability gaming state (the production with the larger number of branch points is not generated). preferable. According to the above embodiment, the first effect 31 (number of branch points = 4) is generated in the low probability game state, and the second effect 32 (number of branch points = 1) is generated in the high probability game state. And Since the high probability gaming state is a state where it is easy to win a jackpot, even if the number of branch points is reduced, there is not much influence. On the other hand, in the low-probability gaming state, it is difficult to win a big hit, and there are many cases of notifying a loss, so it is important to increase the number of branch points and widen the variation of the production (the branch point is If it increases, the variation of the production | presentation which alert | reports deviation increases.)

-Sixth specific example (an example that is further developed from the fourth specific example and is different from the fifth specific example)
In a gaming machine that is a so-called one-type / two-type mixing machine, the first effect 31 and the second effect 32 are generated. An example of the game area of the one-type / two-type mixer is shown in FIG.

  As the first gaming state, the player can use the special figure 1 starting port 41 (corresponding to the first entering area in the present invention. The starting port is a mode in which the entered gaming ball is taken inside. Alternatively, it may be a mode (a gate-like mode) that flows down the game area as it is (the same applies to the special figure 2 starting port 42 described later). (In this embodiment, a game state in which “left-handed” is performed), and winning by winning or failing lottery executed when a game ball enters the special figure 1 start port 41 is obtained. It is assumed that the desired gaming state is set. In other words, the game in the first game state is a so-called “one-type” type game that aims to win a lottery decision based on the entry of a game ball into a predetermined area.

  On the other hand, in the second gaming state, the player enters a game ball into a special figure 2 start opening 42 (corresponding to the second entry area in the present invention) different from the special figure 1 start opening 41. The game is in a game state (a game state in which “right-handed” is performed in the present embodiment), and is released by winning an open lottery executed when a game ball enters the special figure 2 start port 42. It is assumed that a gaming state is set in which a winning game is aimed at acquiring a big hit by entering a gaming ball into the hitting region 43 (released when the opening / closing member 44 is displaced from the closed position to the opened position). In other words, the game in the second game state is a so-called “two-type” game that aims to enter a game ball into an area that leads to a big hit. In addition, a lottery lottery (the lottery with the same winning probability as a lottery lottery triggered by a game ball entering the special figure 1 start opening 41) triggered by the game ball entering the special figure 2 start opening 42 is also available. Although executed, the probability of winning the open lottery is very high (compared to the probability of winning or rejecting the lottery). Therefore, in the second gaming state, the game ball enters the hit area 43 in most cases. You will win a jackpot. In this embodiment, the probability of winning the winning lottery is about 1/200, and the probability of winning the open lottery is about 1/9. When the open lottery is won, the game ball enters the released hit area 43 as long as the game is continued ("right-handed" is continued). In other words, in the second gaming state, the jackpot is actually won with a probability of about 1/9.

  In such a configuration in which the first game state and the second game state are set, the first effect 31 is generated in one game state (the second effect 32 is not generated), and the second effect is not generated in the other game state. It is assumed that the production 32 is generated (the first production 31 is not generated). In other words, the first gaming state and the second gaming state are greatly different in the route for winning the jackpot, so it is difficult to apply the same effect to both gaming states, so when in one gaming state The first effect 31 is generated, and the second effect 32 is generated in the other gaming state. That is, an effect using the same material (target music 20) is applied according to the gaming state.

  In particular, in the first gaming state (“one type” gaming), an effect with many branch points should occur, and in the second gaming state (“two types” gaming), an effect with few branch points should occur. Is preferred. According to the above embodiment, the first effect 31 (number of branch points = 4) occurs in the first game state, and the second effect 32 (number of branch points = 1) occurs in the second game state. It is preferable to make it. The first gaming state is a gaming state aiming for a big hit by winning / failing lottery (1/200), and since there are many cases of notifying the losing, it is important to increase the number of branching points and widen the variation of the production (If the number of branch points increases, the variation of the effect of notifying the deviation increases). On the other hand, the second gaming state is a gaming state in which a jackpot can be obtained by winning the open lottery (1/9), and there are not so many cases for notifying the losing point. It is better to make the production simple by reducing the number.

-7th specific example The 1st production 31 and the 2nd production 32 are one element which constitutes production, and the "music" (sound) output is exactly the same, but other elements which constitute production are It may be the same or different. For example, the output video may be the same or different. The first effect 31 and the second effect 32 shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 are different in output video.

  However, if the output video is different, there is an advantage that the difference between the first effect 31 and the second effect 32 becomes clearer. That is, although the first effect 31 and the second effect 32 use the same music, it is possible to enhance the effect of giving the player the impression that it is a completely different effect. .

-Eighth specific example The first effect 31 and the second effect 32 have been explained that the output "music" (sound), which is one element constituting the effect, is exactly the same, but the players are the same It may differ so that it can recognize that it is a music. For example, the tempo of the target song 20 output at one of the first effect 31 and the second effect 32 may be different from the tempo of the target song 20 output at the other.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment (and specific example) of this invention was described in detail, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment at all, and various modification | change is possible in the range which does not deviate from the summary of this invention. .

  For example, the gaming machine 1 according to the above embodiment is a so-called pachinko gaming machine, but the same technical idea can be applied to other gaming machines such as a rotary gaming machine.

  Further, in the above embodiment, what is constituted by a plurality of effect elements is “music”, that is, elements having the same aspect in both effects as elements constituting the effects of the first effect 31 and the second effect 32 are “ Although it has been described that it is a “music piece”, what is assumed to be the same in both effects is not limited to “music” (sound) as long as it is an element constituting the effect. For example, a video output through the display device 91 can be a plurality of effect elements. In other words, the same technical idea can be applied to the setting of the video output in the first effect 31 and the second effect 32.

  Specific means (game machines) obtained from the above embodiment are listed below.

・ Means 1
A branching point where a plurality of effect elements are output in order, and a branch is made as to whether or not the effect continues when the effect element is output and the next effect element is output. Including an effect execution means for executing the first effect and the second effect,
A gaming machine, wherein the first effect and the second effect are different in the manner of setting a branch point.
By adopting such a configuration, the first stage and the second stage are different in the setting of the branch point in spite of being the stage using the same plurality of stage elements. It is possible to reduce the impression that is the production. In other words, the range of performance can be expanded using the same material, so that the game preference is improved.

・ Means 2
The gaming machine according to means 1, wherein the first effect is that all the effect elements are set as the branch points.
・ Means 3
The gaming machine according to means 1 or 2, wherein the second effect is such that a part between effect elements is set as the branch point.
By setting it as such a structure, the difference between a 1st effect and a 2nd effect will be emphasized more.

・ Means 4
In any one of the means 1 to the means 3, the second stage is set as the branch point only between the stage element immediately before the final stage and the stage element in the final stage. The gaming machine described.
Thereby, it is possible to make the second effect simple and easy to understand.

・ Means 5
The gaming machine according to any one of means 1 to means 4, wherein at least a part of the specific music piece is constituted by the plurality of effect elements.
・ Means 6
6. The gaming machine according to claim 5, wherein the branch point is set between the passages of the specific music.
As described above, “music” (sound) can be exemplified as a component composed of a plurality of effect elements (components of effect).
