Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view of the gaming machine in the present embodiment. A gaming machine (pachinko gaming machine) 1 is roughly divided into a gaming board 2 that constitutes a gaming board surface, and a gaming machine frame 3 that supports and fixes the gaming board 2. On the game board 2, a substantially circular game area is formed. In a game area (hereinafter simply referred to as a game area) of the game board 2, a game ball as a game medium is launched from a predetermined hitting ball launching device and driven. Hereinafter, main members in or around the game area will be described.

As shown in FIG. 1, the gaming machine 1 includes an ordinary winning ball device 6A, an ordinary variable winning ball device 6B, a special variable winning ball device 7, a first special symbol display device 4A, a second special symbol display device 4B, a first On-hold indicator 25A, second on-hold indicator 25B, normal symbol indicator 20, passage gate 41, universal figure on-hold indicator 25C, first display device (main liquid crystal display device) 5, second display device (VR goggles) 1
000 (not shown in FIG. 1), speaker 8 (speakers 8L and 8R), lamp 9, stick controller 31A, push button 31B, and cross key 32. The stick controller 31A is provided with a trigger button (not shown). In the upper part of the housing,
One end of a communication cable 1141 that connects the housing of the gaming machine 1 and the second display device 1000 is connected.

The normal winning ball device 6A forms a first starting winning opening as a starting area that is always kept in a constant open state. The normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B includes an electric tulip type accessory that changes between a normal open state and an enlarged open state by a solenoid 81 for a normal electric accessory shown in FIG. 2, and a second start prize as a start area. Forming a mouth. It should be noted that the electric tulip-type accessory is controlled to be in an expanded and open state when the variable display result (final result) in the normal game (described later) becomes “per normal map”. The special variable winning ball apparatus 7 includes a large winning opening door that is opened and closed by a solenoid 82 that is used for the large winning opening door shown in FIG. 2, and is a specific region that is changed between an open state and a closed state by the large winning opening door. Form a big prize opening. The big prize opening is controlled to be in an open state when the variable display result (final result) in the first special game (described later) or the second special game (described later) becomes “big hit”.

The first special symbol display device 4A has a first start condition, which will be described later, after winning the normal winning ball device 6A (after the first starting condition is established by the game ball passing through the first starting winning opening). The special symbol is variably displayed based on the establishment. The second special symbol display device 4B has a second start condition, which will be described later, after winning the normal variable winning ball device 6B (after the second starting condition is established because the game ball has passed the second starting winning opening). The special symbol is variably displayed based on the fact that is established.

Hereinafter, the special symbol variably displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A is also referred to as a first special symbol, and the variable display of the first special symbol is also referred to as a “first special symbol game”. The special symbol variably displayed on the second special symbol display device 4B is also referred to as a second special symbol, and the variable display of the second special symbol is also referred to as a “second special symbol game”. In addition, both the first special figure game and the second special figure game are collectively referred to as “special figure game”, and both the first start condition and the second start condition are collectively referred to as “special figure start condition”. Both the condition and the second start condition may be collectively referred to as “special drawing start condition”.

After the variable display result in the special game is “big hit” (for example, after a special symbol predetermined as a big win symbol is derived and displayed as a variable display result (stop display)), the big win gaming state (game) An example of an advantageous state advantageous to a person). The big hit game state is a period until a predetermined upper limit time (for example, 29 seconds or 0.1 second) elapses or a predetermined number (for example, 9) of winning balls in the special winning ball apparatus 7 This is a gaming state in which the big prize opening is controlled to be in an open state until the time of occurrence.

Despite having won the normal winning ball device 6A (even though the first start condition is satisfied), the start condition for starting the first special figure game (also referred to as the first start condition) is still present.
When is not established, the variable display corresponding to the winning is stored as a reserved storage. Specifically, information for executing variable display based on the winning (first special game)
A predetermined number (for example, 4) is used as an upper limit, and the game is held in such a manner that the winning order can be understood (stored as the first special figure holding memory. Details will be described later). Despite having won the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B (despite the second start condition being satisfied), the start condition for starting the second special figure game (also referred to as the second start condition) is still present. ) Is not established, the variable display corresponding to the winning is stored as a reserved storage. Specifically, information for executing variable display (second special figure game) based on the winning is held in such a manner that the winning order can be recognized up to a predetermined number (for example, 4) (second special game). It is stored as figure hold memory (details will be described later). Also,
For example, the winning order in the whole (the following special figure hold memory) that combines the first special figure hold memory and the second special figure hold memory separately from the first special figure hold memory and the second special figure hold memory can be understood. Such information may be stored. Even when the first start condition is satisfied immediately when the first start condition is satisfied, the first special figure hold memory may be stored although it is instantaneous (although it is immediately digested after storage). . In addition, even when the second start condition is satisfied immediately when the second start condition is satisfied, the second special figure holding memory may be stored, although it is instantaneous. Note that both the first special figure hold memory and the second special figure hold memory may be collectively referred to as “special figure hold memory”.

The special figure start condition is, for example, when the special figure game hold number (also referred to as the special figure hold memory number) is not 0, the special figure game is not executed, and is controlled to the big hit game state. It is established when the state is not set. When the special figure start condition is satisfied (every time the special figure game is started), the special figure holding memory is consumed (the special figure holding memory is reduced), and the special figure game is started. In other words, the special figure hold memory decreases every time the special figure game is started. More specifically, the number of holds of the first special figure game (the number of first special figure hold memory) decreases every time the first special figure game is started (every time the first start condition is satisfied), The number of holds of the 2 special figure game (the number of second special figure hold memory) decreases every time the second special figure game is started (every time the second start condition is satisfied).

In the present embodiment, the special figure hold memory is digested in the order of winning regardless of whether it is the first special figure hold memory or the second special figure hold memory. Therefore, for example, when the first special figure hold memory, the first special figure hold memory, the second special figure hold memory, and the first special figure hold memory are stored in this order, the first start condition, the first start condition The second start condition and the first start condition are satisfied in this order. That is, as described above, the special figure start condition is a state where the special figure holding memory number is not 0, the special figure game is not executed, and the special hit game state is not controlled. More specifically, if the special figure hold memory stored first is the first special figure hold memory, the first start condition is satisfied and the special figure stored first is satisfied. The second start condition is satisfied when the hold memory is the second special figure hold memory.

The first hold indicator 25A displays the hold number of the first special figure game (first special figure hold memory number) so as to be specified. The second hold indicator 25B has a second special figure game hold number (second special figure hold storage number).
Is displayed in an identifiable manner. In the normal symbol display 20, after the game ball has passed through the passing gate 41 (after the normal figure starting condition by the game ball passing through the passing gate 41 is satisfied), the starting condition of the later-described general game is satisfied. Based on this, variable display of normal symbols is performed. Note that the variable display of normal symbols is also referred to as a “common game”.

Even if the game ball has passed through the passage gate 41 (even though the normal chart start condition is satisfied), the start condition of the normal chart game (also referred to as the general chart start condition) is not yet satisfied. The variable display based on passage (ordinary game) is suspended up to a predetermined number (for example, 4) (stored as ordinary map storage).

The start condition of the ordinary game (ordinary figure start condition) is, for example, a case where the number of ordinary reserved memories is not 0, the variable symbol display (ordinary game) is not executed, and the big hit The condition may be satisfied when the game state is not controlled. It should be noted that, even if the general chart start condition is satisfied immediately when the general chart start condition is satisfied, the general map hold memory may be stored, although it is instantaneous.

The general figure hold display unit 25C displays the number of hold of the general figure game (the number of general figure hold storage) in an identifiable manner. It should be noted that the number of holdings of the ordinary game (also called the number of ordinary drawings stored) decreases every time the ordinary game is started (every time the ordinary drawing start condition is satisfied).

The first display device 5 has a display area and performs variable display of decorative symbols (also referred to as effect symbols) and various effect displays. The display area of the first display device 5 includes, for example, symbol display areas 5L, 5
C, 5R, hold display area 5H, and current display area 5K are arranged. In the symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R, decorative symbols are variably displayed corresponding to the special symbol game. Thereafter, in response to the definite special symbol being derived and displayed as the variable display result in the special symbol game, the definite decorative symbol (final stop symbol) that is the variable display result is derived and displayed in the symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R. The The decorative symbols that are variably displayed in the symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R are also referred to as the left symbol, the middle symbol, and the right symbol, respectively. The variable display of the identification information may be collectively referred to as a variable display game. However, the variable display game includes variable display of decorative symbols together with the above-described special game and general game.

When the variable display result in the special game is “big hit”, the symbol display area 5L,
In 5C and 5R, a definite decorative symbol that is a predetermined jackpot combination is derived and displayed. Further, when the variable display result in the special game is not “big hit”, a definite decorative symbol different from a predetermined big hit combination is derived and displayed in the symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R. An example of the predetermined jackpot combination is a combination in which the left symbol, the middle symbol, and the right symbol are the same symbol (for example, (“7” “7” “7”)).

In the hold display area 5H, the number of hold of variable display of decorative symbols corresponding to the special figure game is displayed in an identifiable manner. For example, in the hold display area 5H, the number of hold displays corresponding to the number of hold of the variable display of decorative symbols is displayed in such a manner that the winning order (digestion order) is known. Specifically, the decorative symbol hold display corresponding to the first special figure game and the decorative symbol hold indication corresponding to the second special figure game are arranged in the winning order and displayed in the hold display area 5H. In the hold display area 5H, the hold display corresponding to the variable display to be started is erased (digested) and the hold to be deleted every time the variable display of the decorative pattern corresponding to the special game is started. When there is another hold display in addition to the display, the display position of the other hold display is moved (shifted) to the hold display side (the current display area 5K side) from which the display position is deleted.

In the current display area 5K, a current display (sometimes referred to as a digestion display or an active display) is displayed. The current display is displayed according to the variable display of the decorative symbol corresponding to the digested hold display (displayed instead of the hold display digested when the hold display is digested).

Various effects can also be executed in the gaming machine 1. For example, in the gaming machine 1, a reach effect that is performed in a state (reach state) that partially matches a predetermined jackpot combination, for example, is executed until a confirmed decorative symbol is derived and displayed. . The state where the jackpot combination partially matches is a state where, for example, the same left symbol and right symbol are derived and displayed, and the middle symbol is still variably displayed. Further, in the gaming machine 1, it is possible to execute an effect based on the display mode of the hold display and an effect based on the display mode of the current display. Further, the gaming machine 1 can also perform effects using the speaker 8 and the lamp 9. In the gaming machine 1, by executing these effects, for example, the jackpot expectation (reliability) is notified or suggested to the player.

The expectation degree (reliability) of a certain effect A is, for example, (probability that the effect A is executed when the jackpot is hit) × (probability that the effect is executed) / {(the effect A is executed when the jackpot is reached) (Probability) × (probability of winning jackpot) + (probability of effect A being executed when jackpot is not hit) × (probability of not hitting jackpot)} (when the jackpot expectation is “1”) It ’s a “big hit”).

It should be noted that the determination or determination regarding the production (determination or determination regarding whether or not the production is performed, the type and content of the production to be performed, etc.) may be performed at the time of starting winning or at the time of starting variable display.

FIG. 2 is a configuration diagram showing various control boards and the like. In the gaming machine 1, for example, as shown in FIG. 2, a main board 11, an effect control board 12, an audio control board 13, a lamp control board 14, a relay board 15 and the like are mounted. The gaming machine 1 includes, for example, a payout control board, an information terminal board,

Specifically, for example, the wiring is connected to the communication cable 1141.

The display control unit 123 controls the first display device 5 and the second display device 1000. For example, the display control unit 123 determines the control content of the display operation in the first display device 5 and the second display device 1000 based on command information from the CPU 120 for effect control. For example, the display control unit 123 displays an effect image (displayed on the display screen of the first display device 5 or the second display device 1000).
By controlling the switching timing of the video information), control for executing decorative display variable display and various effects display is performed. As an example, the display control unit 123 includes VDP (Vi

The video on the first display device 5 can be changed in response to the press of B (for example, the cut-in image can be displayed on the first display device 5 in response to the press of the push button 31B. ). Similarly, in the gaming machine 1, it is possible to change the image on the first display device 5 in accordance with the operation of the stick controller 31A (for example, on the back side of the screen in accordance with the operation in the left-right direction of the stick controller 31A. It is possible to change the traveling direction in the moving image). The same applies to the video on the second display device 1000, and the video on the second display device 1000 can be changed according to the push button 31B being pressed or the operation of the stick controller 31A.

Further, in the gaming machine 1, regarding the video on the second display device 1000, in addition to changing the video on the second display device 1000 in accordance with the operation of the push button 31B or the stick controller 31A, the movement of the second display device 1000 is performed. Depending on the second display device 1000

It is also possible to change.

Next, various controls in the gaming machine 1 will be schematically described.
(Regarding controls related to ordinary games)
When a game ball launched toward the game area passes through the passage gate 41 and is detected by the gate switch 21 (when the normal start condition is satisfied), the CPU 103 determines a random value MR4 (for determining the normal display result). (Numerical data indicating the random number MR4 at the time of passage) is acquired (extracted). In addition, on the condition that the upper limit number is not exceeded, the general-purpose hold storage (numerical data indicating the acquired random number MR4) corresponding to the general-purpose game based on the passage is stored in the RAM 102.

Thereafter, when the general chart start condition is satisfied, the CPU 103 stores the general chart hold memory (numerical data indicating the random value MR4) digested this time and the general chart display result determination table to be digested this time. It is determined whether or not the variable symbol display result of the normal symbol in the general game based on the “normal map” is “per standard”. After the normal symbol variable display result is determined, the normal symbol game 20 starts the normal symbol game. In the usual game, the variable display result is derived and displayed based on the determination result. When the variable display result in the general game is “per normal map”, the electric tulip type accessory of the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B is controlled to be in an expanded open state for a predetermined time, and the game ball is set to the second start winning opening. It becomes easy to win.

(Regarding the control related to special game)
When the special figure starting condition is established, the CPU 103 acquires (extracts) a random number value MR1 (numerical data indicating the random value MR1 at the time of passage) and the like for special figure display result determination (determination). Further, on the condition that the upper limit number is not exceeded, special figure holding storage (numerical data indicating the acquired random value MR1 or the like) corresponding to the special figure game based on the passage is stored in the RAM 102. Further, the CPU 103 can change the special symbol in the special symbol game based on the passage by using the special symbol holding memory (numerical data indicating the random number MR1 etc.) stored this time and the special graph display result determination (determination) table. It is determined whether or not the display result is “big hit”. CPU 10
3, the variable category of the variable display game based on the passage is determined using the special figure hold storage (numerical data indicating the random number MR3, etc.) stored this time and the variable category determination table. In addition, an effect control command (for example, a symbol designation command, a change category designation command, etc.) related to the start winning prize is output to the effect control board 12 side.

On the effect control board 12 side, information indicating the effect control command related to the start winning prize (for example, information indicating whether it becomes a “big hit” indicated by the symbol designating command, or the variable category indicated by the variable category specifying command) Information etc.) is stored in the RAM 122. Further, the effect control CPU 120 obtains (extracts) a random number for effect determination (for example, numerical data indicating a random value when the effect control command is input), and the acquired random value and effect determination table. Are used to determine an effect (for example, an effect based on the display mode of the hold display). The determined effect is executed according to the determined content (execution timing, effect mode, etc.). Note that, as described above, the effect determined at the time of starting winning is an example of the pre-reading notice effect of the notice effects. According to the pre-reading notice effect, it is possible to notify or indicate to the player the presence / absence or type of the reach effect, the degree of jackpot expectation, etc. in the variable display before the start of the variable display. .

Thereafter, when the special figure start condition is satisfied, the CPU 103 uses the special figure holding memory (numerical data indicating the random number MR1 and the like) to be digested this time and the special figure display result determination (determination) table. It is determined whether or not the variable symbol display result of the special symbol in the special symbol game based on the special symbol hold memory is “big hit”. Further, the CPU 103 determines the variation pattern of the variable display game based on the passage using the special figure reservation storage (numerical data indicating the random number MR5, etc.) digested this time and the variation pattern determination table. After determining the special symbol variable display result and the like, the special symbol game is started. When the variable display result in the special figure game is “big hit”, the big hit gaming state is controlled, and the game ball is likely to win a big winning opening. Further, after determining the variable symbol display result of the special symbol (timing for starting the special symbol), the effect control command (for example, variable display result notification command, variable pattern designation command) regarding the variable display start is displayed on the effect control board 12 side. , First variation start command or second variation start command).

On the effect control board 12 side, information based on the effect control command at the time of starting the variable display (for example, information indicated by the variable display result notification command (information indicating whether it is “big hit”, etc.) or a variation pattern designation command. Information indicating the variation pattern) is RAM
122. Further, the effect control CPU 120 obtains (extracts) a random number for effect determination (for example, numerical data indicating a random value when the effect control command is input), and the acquired random value and effect determination table. Are used to determine an effect (for example, a speech effect to be executed during variable display of decorative symbols). The determined effect is executed according to the determined content. As described above, the effect determined at the start of variable display is an example of a notice effect. According to the notice effect, it is possible to notify or suggest to the player the expected degree of jackpot.

It should be noted that after the big hit gaming state ends, the gaming state may be different from the normal state. For example, according to the jackpot type determined by the CPU 103 using the random number MR2 for jackpot type determination (determination) and the jackpot type determination (determination) table, the high probability state (probability change state) after the jackpot gaming state is ended. Alternatively, a high base state (short time state) may be used.

The high probability state is a gaming state in which the probability of “big hit” in the variable display result in the special symbol is higher than that in the normal state (low probability state). For example, as a special figure display result determination (determination) table, a normal state table and a high-accuracy state table are prepared. It may be determined (determined) whether or not the variable display result of the symbol is “big hit”. The table for the high-accuracy state has more jackpot determination (determination) values (random number values MR1 for determination (determination) of special figure display results) than the table for the normal state.
It is sufficient that a numerical value corresponding to the jackpot to be compared with is set.

The high base state is a gaming state that has a higher probability of “per base” in the variable display result of the normal symbol than in the normal state (low base state). For example, a normal state display table and a high base state table are prepared as the normal display result determination table. When the base display result is in the high base state, the high base state table is used to change the normal symbol. It may be determined whether or not the display result is “per common map”. The table for the high base state has a larger number of determination values per common figure than the table for the normal state (a numerical value corresponding to a common figure compared with the random number MR4 for determining the general figure display result). Should be set. When in the high base state, the variable symbol display time may be shortened compared to when in the normal state. The time for controlling to a state may be lengthened, or a high base state may be realized by a combination thereof.

In the above embodiment, it has been described that the first special figure reservation memory and the second special figure reservation memory are digested in the order of winning, regardless of whether it is the first special figure reservation memory or the second special figure reservation memory. If there is, the second special figure reservation memory may be preferentially digested.

Next, processing in the gaming machine 1 will be schematically 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 game control main process is executed by the CPU 103.
In the game control main process, the CPU 103 performs necessary initial settings after setting the interrupt disabled. In this initial setting, for example, the RAM 102 is cleared. Also, register setting of a CTC (counter / timer circuit) built in the game control microcomputer 100 is performed. Thereby, thereafter, an interrupt request signal is sent from the CTC to the CPU 103 every predetermined time (for example, 2 milliseconds), and the CPU 103 can periodically execute timer interrupt processing. When the initial setting is completed, an interrupt is permitted and then loop processing is started. In the game control main process, a loop process may be entered after executing a process for returning the internal state of the gaming machine 1 to the state at the previous power supply stop.

When the CPU 103 that has executed such a game control main process receives an interrupt request signal from the CTC and receives an interrupt request, it executes a game control timer interrupt process. CPU
In the game control timer interrupt process 103, first, a predetermined switch process is executed, whereby the gate switch 21 and the first start port switch 22 are connected via the switch circuit 110.
The state of the detection signal input from various switches such as A, the second start port switch 22B, and the count switch 23 is determined. Subsequently, by executing predetermined main-side error processing (including sensor error notification processing), an abnormality diagnosis of the gaming machine 1 is performed, and a warning can be generated if necessary according to the diagnosis result. Subsequently, the CPU 103 executes predetermined information output processing to output data such as jackpot information, starting information, probability variation information supplied to a hall management computer installed outside the gaming machine 1, for example. To do.

Subsequently, the CPU 103 executes a game random number update process. In the game random number update process,
For example, at least a part of game random numbers (for example, random number values MR1 to MR5) used on the main board 11 side is updated by software. Subsequently, the CPU 103 executes special symbol process processing. In the special symbol process, the value of the special symbol process flag provided in the game control flag setting unit 152 (not shown) of the RAM 102 is updated according to the progress of the game in the gaming machine 1, and the first special symbol display device 4A. In addition, various processes are selected and executed in order to perform control of display operation in the second special symbol display device 4B and setting of opening / closing operation of the big prize opening in the special variable winning ball device 7 in a predetermined procedure. (See FIG. 7).

Following the special symbol process, the CPU 103 executes a normal symbol process.
When the normal symbol process is executed, the display operation on the normal symbol display 20 (
For example, by turning on / off the segment LED), it is possible to perform variable display of normal symbols, tilting operation setting of the movable blade piece in the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B, and the like.

Subsequent to the normal symbol process, the CPU 103 executes a command control process to transmit a control command from the main board 11 to a sub-side control board such as the effect control board 12. As an example, in the command control process, the output included in the I / O 105 corresponds to the setting in the command transmission table specified by the value of the transmission command buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit 155 (not shown) of the RAM 102. After the control data is set in the output port for transmitting the effect control command to the effect control board 12 among the ports, the predetermined control data is set in the output port of the effect control INT signal.
An effect control command can be transmitted based on the setting in the command transmission table by turning the NT signal on for a predetermined time and then turning it off. After executing the command control process, after setting the interrupt enabled state, the game control timer interrupt process is terminated.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of the special symbol process executed in the above-described game control timer interrupt process. In the special symbol process, the CPU 103 first executes a start winning determination process (step S101). Start winning determination process (step S
101), for example, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the game medium has passed (starting condition is satisfied) based on whether or not the first starting port switch 22A (same as the second starting port switch 22B) is on. If the start condition is satisfied, various prefetch determinations (determination of whether or not to make “big hit”, etc.) are executed, the hold information is stored in the RAM 102, and the first hold indicator 25A (or the first hold indicator 25A) 2 display is updated on the hold display device 25B), and an effect control command (for example, a symbol designation command, a variation category designation command, etc.) is transmitted to the effect control board 12.

Subsequent to the start winning determination process (step S101), the CPU 103 performs step S1 according to the value of the special figure process flag provided in the game control flag setting unit 152 of the RAM 102.
10 to S117 is selected and executed.

The special symbol normal process of step S110 is a process executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “0”. The special symbol normal process includes a process of determining (predetermining) whether or not the variable display result of the special symbol or the decorative symbol is “big hit” before the variable display result is derived and displayed. In the special symbol normal process, when the variable display result is determined in advance, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to “1”.

The variation pattern setting process of step S111 is a process executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “1”. The variation pattern setting process includes a process for determining a variation pattern, a variable display result notification command, a variation pattern designation command, a first variation start command (or second
A setting process for transmitting a change start command) and the like. In the variation pattern setting process, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “2”.

The special symbol variation process of step S112 is a process executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “2”. In the special symbol variation process, the special symbol is varied (variably displayed) in the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B, and the elapsed time after the start of variation is changed to the special symbol variation time (FIG. 6). It includes a process for determining whether or not it has been reached. In the special symbol variation process, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to “3” when the elapsed time after the variation starts reaches the special symbol variation time.

The special symbol stop process in step S113 is a process executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “3”. The special symbol stop process is a process of stopping the change of the special symbol in the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B and stopping and displaying (derived) the fixed special symbol, or a game control flag setting unit of the RAM 102 The gaming machine 1 is a process to be executed when the jackpot flag provided at 152 is in an off state (when it is determined in advance that the variable display result is “lost” in the special symbol normal process (step S110)). A hit start designation command (fanfare command) is executed as a process to be executed when the game state is transitioned or when the big hit flag is on (when the variable display result is determined to be “big hit” in advance). It includes setting processing for transmission. In the special symbol stop process, when the big hit flag is in the off state, the value of the special symbol process flag is set to the initial value “0”.
When the big hit flag is on, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “4”.

The big hit release pre-processing in step S114 is a process executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “4”. The big hit opening pre-processing is a process for setting the grand prize opening to be in an open state (for example, setting a solenoid driving signal for the solenoid 82 for the big prize opening door to open the big prize opening) , Including a setting process for transmitting a command for notifying a prize winning opening. In the big hit release pre-processing, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “5”.

The big hit release process in step S115 is a process executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “5”. The big hit opening process is based on whether or not the elapsed time after opening the big prize opening has passed a predetermined time, whether or not the number of game balls detected by the count switch 23 has reached a predetermined number. Processing for determining the timing for returning the winning opening from the open state to the closed state, and setting for closing the big winning opening (for example, the solenoid 82 for the big winning opening door for closing the winning opening) For example, setting of a solenoid driving signal) and setting processing for transmitting a notification command after opening a special prize opening. In the big hit release processing, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “6”.

On the other hand, in the effect control board 12, when the power supply voltage is supplied from the power supply board or the like, the effect control CPU 120 is activated, and the effect control main process is executed by the effect control CPU 120. In the effect control main process, the effect control CPU 120 first executes a predetermined initialization process, clears the RAM 122, sets various initial values, and CTC (counter / timer circuit) mounted on the effect control board 12. Register settings. Thereafter, processing for determining whether or not the timer interrupt flag is on is executed. The timer interrupt flag is set to the ON state every time a predetermined time (for example, 2 milliseconds) elapses based on, for example, the CTC register setting. When it is determined that the timer interrupt flag is not in the on state, the process for determining whether or not the timer interrupt flag is in the on state is repeatedly executed and waits.

On the side of the effect control board 12, an interrupt for receiving an effect control command or the like from the main board 11 is generated separately from the timer interrupt. This interruption is generated when, for example, an effect control INT signal from the main board 11 is turned on. When an interruption occurs due to the turn-on of the effect control INT signal, the effect control CPU 120 automatically sets the interrupt prohibition, but if a CPU that does not automatically enter the interrupt disabled state is used, It is desirable to issue a prohibition instruction (DI instruction). Production control CPU120
Performs a predetermined command reception interrupt process, for example, in response to an interrupt when the effect control INT signal is turned on. In this command reception interrupt process, control that becomes an effect control command or the like from a predetermined input port that receives a control signal transmitted from the main board 11 via the relay board 15 among the input ports included in the I / O 125. Capture the signal.

The effect control command captured at this time is stored in, for example, an effect control command reception buffer provided in the effect control buffer setting unit 194 (not shown) of the RAM 122. As an example, when the production control command has a 2-byte configuration, the first byte (MODE) and 2
The byte (EXT) is sequentially received and stored in the effect control command reception buffer. Thereafter, the effect control CPU 120 ends the command reception interrupt processing after setting the interrupt permission.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the timer interrupt flag is on, the effect control C
The PU 120 clears the timer interrupt flag to turn it off and executes command analysis processing. In the command analysis processing, for example, after reading various effect control commands transmitted from the game control microcomputer 100 of the main board 11 and stored in the effect control command reception buffer, the read effect control commands are used. Corresponding settings and controls are performed.

Subsequent to the command analysis process, the effect control CPU 120 executes an error notification process.
In the error notification process, for example, an error notification corresponding to the magnetic abnormality notification designation command transmitted from the main board 11 is performed for an act of illegally guiding the game ball to the winning opening using a magnet.

Following the error notification process, the effect control CPU 120 executes effect control process processing. In the effect control process, various effect devices (for example, the first display device 5, the second display device 1000, the speaker 8, the lamp 9, and the like) are used based on the effect control command transmitted from the main board 11. Judgment, determination, setting, and the like regarding the rendering operation are performed (see FIG. 8).

Subsequent to the effect control process, the effect control CPU 120 executes an effect random number update process. In the effect random number update process, for example, at least a part of the effect random numbers used on the effect control board 12 side is updated by software. As an example, CPU 12 for effect control
0 may update the numerical data indicating the random number for rendering counted by the random counter of the rendering control counter setting unit 193 (not shown) of the RAM 122 by software.
Thereafter, the process returns to the process of determining whether or not the timer interrupt flag is on.

It has been described that the interrupt for receiving the effect control command and the like from the main board 11 on the side of the effect control board 12 is an interrupt generated when the effect control INT signal from the main board 11 is turned on. However, the method for generating an interrupt for receiving a production control command or the like is not limited to the above. For example, an interrupt for receiving an effect control command or the like may be generated by an interrupt request by the first bit of serial communication.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the effect control process executed in the effect control main process described above. In the effect control process, the effect control CPU 120 first
Winning effect determination processing is executed (step S150). In the winning effect determination process, the effect control CPU 120 receives a start opening winning notification command as a process of checking the stored contents in the start winning reception command buffer 194A provided in the effect control buffer setting unit 194, or as a received command. A process for determining whether or not the process is performed, a process for determining various effects, and the like are executed.

Following the winning effect determination process (step S150), the effect control CPU 120 determines the RA.
Depending on the value of the effect process flag provided in the effect control flag setting unit 191 (not shown) of M122, one of the processes in steps S170 to S177 is selected and executed.

The variable display start waiting process in step S170 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “0” which is an initial value. The variable display start waiting process includes a first change start command (or second change start command), a change pattern designation command transmitted from the main board 11,
This includes processing for determining whether to start variable display of decorative symbols on the first display device 5 based on whether a variable display result notification command or the like is received. In the variable display start waiting process, when it is determined to start the variable display of decorative symbols (that is, when a variation pattern designation command or the like is received), the value of the effect process flag is updated to “1”.

The variable display start setting process in step S171 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “1”. The variable display start setting process performs variable display or the like on the first display device 5 or the second display device 1000 in response to variable display of the special symbols on the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B. Setting for performing display operations such as hold display and active display (for example, setting of the production control pattern corresponding to the fluctuation pattern (special figure fluctuation time) and the value of the fluctuation time timer). For example, it includes processing for performing setting of an effect control pattern corresponding to the display operation. In the variable display start setting process,
The value of the production process flag is updated to “2”.

The variable display effect process in step S172 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “2”. The variable display effect process is a variable display start setting process (step S17).
A process of determining whether or not the variable time timer set in 1) has timed out (whether or not the elapsed time after the start of variable display of decorative symbols on the first display device 5 has reached the special figure variable time). Contains. In the variable display effect process, when the variable time timer times out,
The value of the production process flag is updated to “3”.

The special figure waiting process in step S173 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “3”. The special figure waiting process includes a process for performing a fanfare effect (for example, setting an effect control pattern corresponding to the fanfare effect) as a process to be executed when the confirmed decorative symbol is “big hit”. It is out. In the waiting process per special figure, when the confirmed decorative pattern is “lost”, the value of the production process flag is set to the initial value “
When it is updated to “0” and the confirmed decorative symbol is “big hit”, the value of the production process flag is set to “
Update to 4 ".

The big hit start process of step S174 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “4”. The jackpot start process is a process for determining whether or not a big prize opening notification command is received, and a process that is executed when a big prize opening notification command is received (a special variable prize in each round). This includes a process for performing settings for performing an effect performed when the ball device 7 is in the open state (for example, setting an effect control pattern corresponding to the effect during opening). In the big hit starting process, when the big prize opening opening notification command is received, the value of the effect process flag is updated to “5”.

The in-round process in step S175 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “5”. The in-round process is a process for determining whether or not a notification command after opening the big prize opening is received, or a process to be executed when a notification command after opening the big winning opening is received (a special variable prize in each round). This includes a process for performing settings for performing an effect performed when the ball device 7 is in the closed state (for example, setting an effect control pattern corresponding to the effect during closing). In the in-round processing, the value of the effect process flag is updated to “6” when the notification command after the special winning opening is received is received.

The round post-process in step S176 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “6”. Post-round processing is performed as a process for determining whether or not a winning prize opening notification command or a winning end designation command has been received, or a process to be executed when a winning prize opening notification command is received. Setting for performing an ending effect (for example, for an ending effect), for example, a process for performing a setting (for example, setting an effect control pattern corresponding to an effect during opening) or a process to be executed when a hit end designation command is received. For example, setting a corresponding production control pattern and ending production execution time timer value). In the round post-processing, the value of the effect process flag is updated to “5” when a notification command during opening of a special winning opening is received, and the value of the effect process flag is updated to “7” when a winning end designation command is received. To do.

The process after the big hit in step S177 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “7”. After the big hit end processing, whether or not the ending effect execution time timer set in the post-round processing (step S176) has timed out (the elapsed time after the start of the ending effect execution in the first display device 5 or the like has reached the set time) And the like. In the post-hit end processing, when the ending effect execution time timer times out, the value of the effect process flag is updated to the initial value “0”.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the variable display start setting process (step S171). In the variable display start setting process shown in FIG. 9, the effect control CPU 120 first reads the EXT data in the variable display result notification command transmitted from the main board 11, for example, to display the special figure display result as “lost”. Is determined (step S5).
22).

When it is determined in step S522 that the special figure display result is “losing” (step S522; YES), the effect control CPU 120 determines the combination of the confirmed decorative symbols (final stop symbols) constituting the missing combination ( Step S524). As an example, production control C
The PU 120 is a random value updated by a random counter or the like provided in the effect control counter setting unit 193 (for example, a random value for determining the left determined symbol, a random value for determining the right determined symbol, a random value for determining the middle determined symbol) Numerical data indicating numerical values, etc.) is extracted, and a predetermined symbol determination table (for example, a left symbol determination table, a right symbol determination table, a middle symbol determination table, etc.) stored in advance in the ROM 121 or the like is referred to. Thus, the decorative symbols that are finally stopped and displayed in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R are determined as combinations of the fixed decorative symbols that constitute the lost combination.

When it is determined in step S522 that the special figure display result is not “losing” (step S522; NO), that is, when the special figure display result is “big hit”, the CPU for effect control
120 determines the combination of the confirmed decorative symbols constituting the jackpot combination (step S528).
). As an example, the CPU 120 for effect control extracts numerical data indicating a random number value (for example, a random value for determining a big hit determination symbol) updated by a random counter or the like provided in the effect control counter setting unit 193, and the ROM 121 For example, by referring to a predetermined symbol determination table (for example, a big hit fixed symbol determination table) stored in advance, etc., as combinations of the fixed decorative symbols constituting the big hit combination, the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R The decorative design that is finally stopped and displayed for each is determined. It should be noted that the effect control CPU 120 determines the jackpot combination that constitutes the jackpot combination depending on which type of jackpot (for example, 16R probability variation big hit, 4R probability variation big hit, 4R normal big hit), the presence / absence of a promotion effect, etc. A combination may be determined.

After performing either the process of step S524 or the process of step S528, the CPU 120 for effect control executes a button development effect determining process (step S529). The button development effect determination process includes a process for determining whether or not to execute a button development effect (described later), a process for determining an effect mode of the button development effect when it is determined to execute the button development effect, and the like. Details of the button development effect determination processing will be described later.

After performing the process of step S529, the CPU 120 for effect control executes a pending digest process (step S530). Specifically, the hold display displayed at the left end of the hold display area 5H is moved (shifted) to the current display area 5K, and when there is another hold display in the hold display area 5H, each is moved to the left side. .

After executing the pending digest process in step S530, the effect control CPU 120 executes the effect control pattern set process (step S532). For example, the production control CPU 120 corresponds to the variation pattern of the variation (the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command acquired in the variable display start waiting process of step S170 shown in FIG. 8).
Set the production control pattern as the usage pattern. That is, the production control CPU 120
A variation pattern designated by a variation pattern designation command transmitted from the main board 11 is set as a use pattern. In addition, for example, the CPU 120 for effect control is step S
An effect control pattern corresponding to the button development effect determined in the button development effect determination process of 529 is set as a use pattern. That is, the CPU 120 for effect control is step S5.
When it is determined to execute the button development effect in the 29 button development effect determination process, the button development effect effect mode (for example, a button development effect pattern to be described later) is determined.
In the process in step S532, an effect control pattern corresponding to the effect mode of the button development effect determined in the button development effect determination process in step S529 is set as a usage pattern. Thus, in the variable display effect process (S172), the display operation in the display area of the first display device 5 is performed according to the change pattern specified by the change pattern specification command and the determination content of the button development effect determination process (S532). (For example, FIGS. 40 to 48)
reference). Similarly, when the VR control CPU 120 determines a VR video pattern (described later), the presentation control pattern corresponding to the VR video pattern is set as a usage pattern.

After executing the process of step S532, the CPU 120 for effect control sets the initial value of the effect control process timer of the process data of the effect control pattern set in step S532 (step S534), and starts the effect control process timer ( Step S5
35) In accordance with the content of the process data, the effect device (effect parts) such as the first display device 5 is controlled (step S536). Subsequently, the effect control CPU 120 sets a value corresponding to the fluctuation time specified by the fluctuation pattern command (the special figure fluctuation time shown in FIG. 6) in the fluctuation time timer (step S537).

Subsequently, the effect control CPU 120 digests the command stored in the start winning reception command buffer 194A (step S538). Specifically, CPU 1 for effect control
20 deletes the command (one set) stored in the area corresponding to the smallest buffer number among the commands associated with the start winning reception command buffer 194A, and also removes the command from the buffer number of the deleted command. The command stored in the area corresponding to the large buffer number is shifted while maintaining the winning order. Further, in the process of step S538, the information stored in the prefetch notice buffer 194B provided in the effect control buffer setting unit 194 is also deleted or shifted in accordance with the command deletion or shift. after that,
After updating the value of the effect process flag to “2” which is a value corresponding to the effect processing during variable display (step S539), the variable display start setting process is ended.

Hereinafter, VR (virtual reality) video will be described in detail. In the gaming machine 1, the player wears the second display device 1000 during a part of the special figure fluctuation time according to the fluctuation pattern “PA6-1” and the fluctuation pattern “PB6-1” shown in FIG. VR video can be viewed. The VR video in the present embodiment is a VR video that allows a player to experience a sea battle in a pseudo (virtual) manner.

Specifically, in the VR image of the naval battle, the player is one of the pilots of the fleet.
The player operates the ship-mounted machine (hereinafter referred to as the own machine) by moving the stick controller 31A back and forth or left and right. The aircraft is equipped with a machine gun and a torpedo (or bomb). A bullet is fired from the machine gun by pulling the trigger button of the stick controller 31A, and a torpedo (or bomb) is fired by pressing the push button 31B. Is done.

FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a VR video pattern. In the present embodiment, FIG.
As shown in FIG. 4, VR videos based on VR video patterns “VR1” to “VR4” are prepared (for example, stored in the CGROM, ROM 121, etc. of the display control unit 123).
.

As shown in FIG. 10, the VR video of the VR video pattern “VR1” is a VR video in which the result of the sea battle is “defeated” regardless of the skill of the player's operation. Specifically, the V
As the ending of the R image, the damage the enemy has given to the enemy ship is small and the damage the enemy has received from the enemy is large. Although the result is “defeated”, the development of the video is varied according to the skill of the player's operation in order to improve interest. In other words, the VR video does not depend on the player's skill in the VR video, but as a result, the damage to the enemy ship is reduced. If the player's operation is skillful, the video will mainly damage the enemy ship. In addition, in the VR video, the player receives damage from the enemy army regardless of the skill of the player's operation. If the operation is ugly, the image of the aircraft crashes. It is the end of the video that crashes.

The VR video of the VR video pattern “VR2” is a VR video in which the result of the naval battle is “operation failure” regardless of the skill of the player's operation. Specifically, as the ending of the VR video, the damage that the army gave to the enemy ship is large, and the damage that the army received from the enemy army is large. In other words, the damage of the enemy ship is large, but the damage is also large, so it is considered “operation failure”. Note that the difference in the development of the video according to the skill of the player's operation is as shown in FIG. 10, and a description thereof will be omitted.

The VR video of the VR video pattern “VR3” is a VR video in which the result of the naval battle is “operation successful” regardless of the skill of the player's operation. Specifically, as the ending of the VR video, the damage the enemy has given to the enemy ship is large, and the damage the enemy has received from the enemy is small. Note that the difference in the development of the video according to the skill of the player's operation is as shown in FIG. 10, and a description thereof will be omitted.

The VR video of the VR video pattern “VR4” is a VR video in which the result of the naval battle is “big win” regardless of the skill of the player's operation. Specifically, as the ending of the VR video,
The enemy ship is sunk and the damage it receives from the enemy is small. Note that the difference in the development of the video according to the skill of the player's operation is as shown in FIG. 10, and a description thereof will be omitted.

It is common to all VR video patterns “VR1” to “VR4”, but the VR video changes according to the movement of the face of the player wearing the second display device 1000 (the field of view changes). . Similarly, although common to all, enemy ships, enemy aircraft, and allied aircraft are expressed according to their damage in the VR video. For example, it flies or sails with damage or smoke or flames. That is, the player can check the battle status through the VR video. Also,
Regarding the damage to the aircraft, for example, the instrument part of the cockpit that enters the field of view when facing the front, the damage of the front glass and the nose, or the side glass that enters the field of view when viewed from the left and right It can be confirmed by the damage situation of the main wing part.

When the gaming machine 1 is a variation pattern with a VR image (variation pattern “PA6-1”, variation pattern is “PB6-1”), any one of VR image patterns “VR1” to “VR4” A VR video pattern is determined. Specifically, in the case of a variation pattern with a VR video that causes a loss (variation pattern "PA6-1")
The R image pattern “VR1” is determined at a rate of 50%, and the result of the naval battle is “Operation failure” V
The R video pattern “VR2” is determined at a rate of 50%. In addition, when the variation pattern with a VR image that is a big hit (variation pattern “PB6-1”), the VR image pattern “VR3” in which the result of the naval battle is “operation successful” is determined at a rate of 30%. The VR video pattern “VR4” in which the result of the naval battle is “big win” is determined at a rate of 70%.

More specifically, the effect control CPU 120 performs the effect of step S532 from the final stop symbol determination of the variable display start setting process of step S171 shown in FIG. 8 (as an example, step S524 (or step S528) shown in FIG. In the control pattern set, etc., the fluctuation pattern of the fluctuation is confirmed. When the fluctuation pattern is “PA6-1”, the VR video pattern is determined using a random number value for determining the VR video pattern (one of the random numbers for production). 50 for “VR1”
%, VR video pattern “VR2” is determined at a rate of 50%, and fluctuation pattern “PB6-1”
Is determined using a VR video pattern determination random number value at a rate of 30% for the VR video pattern “VR3” and 70% for the VR video pattern “VR4”. The video pattern is not determined.

Note that the VR video pattern may be determined on the main board 11 side instead of the effect control board 12 side, and the determination result may be transmitted to the effect control board 12 side. For example, the CPU 103 determines the VR video pattern when the variation pattern “PA6-1” or the variation pattern “PB6-1” is determined in the variation pattern setting process of step S111 shown in FIG. For example, a setting process for transmitting an effect control command indicating a VR video pattern determination result may be performed.

FIG. 11 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a setting example in the VR video. In the gaming machine 1, various settings as shown in FIG. 11 are prepared for the VR video (for example, stored in the ROM 121 and expanded in the ROM 122 at the time of execution) in order to enhance interest (eg, immersive feeling).

FIG. 11A shows the state (damage) of the aircraft in the naval battle. FIG.
As shown in A), as the status of the aircraft, there are five types of status (“alert level 1 (no problem)”, “alert level 2 (damaged)”, “alert level 3” corresponding to the remaining HP of the aircraft. ("Large damage"), "Warning level 4 (close to crash)", "Fall") are defined. The remaining HP of your aircraft will be reduced by the impact. The five types of states may not be notified to the player including the presence itself, or the presence itself may be notified to the player. As described above, the player can confirm the damage of the player through the VR video, but even if the player recognizes the existence of the five types of states, which of the five types of states is recognized. Until it is not confirmed correctly. The reason is that actual seriousness does not always appear visually, and information other than sight is provided to the player based on the setting shown in FIG.

Note that the remaining HP decreases due to the impact, and according to FIG. 11A, when the remaining HP becomes 0%, the own aircraft crashes. Further, as described above, VRs other than the VR video pattern “VR1” are used.
In the VR image of the image pattern (VR image patterns “VR2” to “VR4”), the player does not crash no matter how much the player operates. Although not related to FIG.
VR video patterns other than the VR video pattern “VR4” (VR video patterns “VR1” to “VR1” to “VR4”)
In the VR video of VR3 ”), no matter how skillful the player is, the enemy ship will not be destroyed.
In order to realize such a situation, in this embodiment, according to the VR video pattern, the number of enemy aircraft, the frequency of attacks on enemy aircraft by enemy ships and enemy aircraft, the number of HP reductions at the time of the enemy's impact, The number of aircraft, the frequency of attacks on enemy ships by friendly aircraft, and the accuracy rate are different. For example, in a VR video pattern (VR video pattern “VR2” to “VR4”) in which the player does not crash, the frequency of attacks on enemy aircraft and enemy aircraft is reduced, and no matter how the player operates. If the situation is difficult to hit, and if the situation worsens due to being hit, the number of enemy aircraft will be reduced by the attack of the friendly aircraft, creating a more difficult situation to hit, so there is no sense of incongruity (ie as a problem before the skill of operation) ), Leading to the result that the aircraft does not crash. In addition, in the VR video pattern (VR video patterns “VR1” to “VR3”) in which the enemy ship does not sink, damage to the enemy ship is reduced no matter how skillful the player's operation is. The situation is difficult to make large, and the result is that the enemy ship does not sink without feeling uncomfortable (that is, as a problem before the skill of operation).

FIG. 11 (B) shows the state of the own device and the operation rod (stick controller 31) at the time of being hit.
The relationship with the vibration of A) is shown. Although the operation rod (stick controller 31A) vibrates at the time of being hit regardless of the state of the own device, the degree of vibration varies depending on the state of the own device as shown in FIG. The player can recognize the bullet by the vibration of the operating rod and can recognize the state of the player's own machine by the degree of vibration.

FIG. 11C shows the relationship between the state of the device itself and the vibration of the operating rod (stick controller 31A) at normal times (except when being hit). As described above, the operation rod vibrates when it is hit, but the operation rod is also vibrated according to the state of the own aircraft as shown in FIG. The player can recognize the state of the player's own machine according to the degree of vibration of the operating rod even during normal times.

FIG. 11D shows the relationship between the state of the device itself and the response to the operation of the operation stick (stick controller 31A). FIG. 11D shows that the player controls the aircraft by operating the operating rod (ascending or descending according to the operation of the operating rod in the front-rear direction and turning left or right according to the operation in the left-right direction). As shown in FIG. 4, the reaction speed (the presence or absence of delay, the degree) of the operation rod is varied according to the state of the own machine. This increases the reality.

It may be referred to as “when T seconds have elapsed after the start of fluctuation”.

In the variation pattern with VR video shown in FIG. 6, reach is reached when 10 seconds have elapsed since the start of the change, and super reach is reached when 20 seconds have elapsed since the start of the change. It is assumed that the display result is displayed when 118 seconds have elapsed since the start. In addition, VR video patterns (VR video patterns “VR1” to “VR4”) during a part of time during super reach (40 seconds after the start of change to 70 seconds after the start of change 110 seconds).
It is assumed that a VR video is displayed.

(Before 10 seconds after the start of fluctuation)
In the first display device 5, as shown in FIG. 12 and FIG. 13 (A1), in the background such as the interior of the ship, the state before the decorative symbols reach the reach state (for example, among the left symbol, middle symbol, right symbol) Variable display in a state where at most one symbol is stopped). The second display device 1000 displays nothing as shown in FIGS. 12 and 13 (A2). Note that the broken line in the frame in FIG. 13A2 indicates that the player cannot see the display on the second display device 1000 because the player does not wear the second display device 1000. The same applies to FIG. 13B2 and FIG. 13C2.

(When 10 seconds have passed since the start of fluctuation to 20 seconds after the start of fluctuation)

"Is displayed.

(40 seconds after the start of fluctuation to 110 seconds after the start of fluctuation)
In the second display device 1000, as shown in FIG. 12, FIG. 15 (G2) and FIG. Display (VR effect) is performed, and small symbols are variably displayed in the reach state. It should be noted that a message “VR production start !!” is displayed immediately after the lapse of 40 seconds (t7).
In the first display device 5, as shown in FIG. 12, FIG. 15 (G1) and FIG. 15 (H1), the same effect display as the second display device 1000 is performed, and the small symbols are variably displayed in the reach state. In addition,
The broken line in the frame in FIG. 15 (G1) indicates that the player cannot wear the second display device 1000 and thus cannot see the display on the first display device 5. FIG. 15 (H1) and FIG. 15 (I1)
The same applies to.

The VR production of the naval battle will be performed as follows. The player uses an operation stick (stick controller 31
Operate A) to steer yourself. For example, when the player tilts the operation stick (actual stick controller 31A) to the left, the actual action and the on-screen display such as the operation stick (the operation stick that is a VR image) and the maneuvering hand lean to the left also on the video. The images correspond to each other so that a sense of reality can be obtained. In addition, although the damage of the own aircraft accumulates due to the attack of the enemy army (FIG. 11A), even when the operating rod is not operated, the operating rod vibrates according to the state (damage) of the own aircraft ( FIG.
C)), the player can recognize the state of the player's own machine by the vibration of the operation stick. In addition, since the response to the operation of the operation rod and the operation of the operation rod and the response to the attack operation vary depending on the state of the aircraft (FIGS. 11B, 11D, and 11E). ), The player can recognize the state of the player's own device even when the player is hit, when operating the control rod, or when attacking.

In addition, once the state of the player's own machine deteriorates, the response to the operation of the operation rod and the response to the attack operation deteriorate (FIGS. 11D and 11E), and the situation is likely to become more disadvantageous. Those who become aware of attacks on enemy ships and become more cautious (maneuvering, etc.) are more interesting.

The development of the naval battle is as follows. In the VR video pattern “VR1” corresponding to the loss,
If the player's skill (operation skill) is low, the player crashes at the end of the production (for example, around 100 seconds after the start of variation). In addition, regardless of the skill of the player, the result is a “great loss”. In the VR video pattern “VR2” corresponding to the loss, the enemy ship can be damaged according to the skill of the player. In addition, regardless of the skill of the player, the result is a “strategy failure”. In the VR video pattern “VR3” corresponding to the big hit, the enemy ship can be damaged according to the skill of the player. In addition, regardless of the skill of the player, the result is “successful operation”. With the VR video pattern “VR4” corresponding to the big hit, it is possible to contribute to the destruction of the enemy ship according to the skill of the player. In addition, regardless of the skill of the player, the result is a “big win”.

(From 110 seconds after the start of fluctuation to 113 seconds after the start of fluctuation)
As shown in FIG. 12 and FIG. 15 (I1), the first display device 5 notifies the result of the VR effect and variably displays the small symbols in the reach state. In the second display device 1000, as shown in FIG. 12 and FIG. 15 (I2), the result of VR effect similar to that of the first display device 5 is notified, and the small symbols are variably displayed in the reach state.

The contents and order of the notification are as follows. In the VR video pattern “VR1”, there are two stages. First, “Enemy Army Damage (Small)” and “Own Army Damage (Large)” are displayed, and finally “Big Loss” is displayed. The VR image pattern “VR2” has three stages, first “Enemy Army Damage (Large)” is displayed, then “Self Army Damage (Large)” is displayed, and finally “Operation Failed” is displayed. The In the VR video pattern “VR3”, there are three stages. First, “Enemy Army Damage (Large)” is displayed, then “Self Army Damage (Small)” is displayed, and finally “Operation Success”.
Is displayed. In the VR video pattern “VR4”, there are two stages. First, “Enemy Army Damage (Sink)” and “Own Army Damage (Small)” are displayed, and finally “Big Win” is displayed.

(When 113 seconds have passed since the start of fluctuation to 118 seconds after the start of fluctuation)
In the first display device 5, as shown in FIGS. 12 and 16 (J1), the result of the VR effect is notified, and the small symbols are stopped and displayed. In the case of the VR video pattern “VR3” or the VR video pattern “VR4”, as shown in FIG. 16J, a small symbol that is a big hit combination is stopped and displayed, but the VR video pattern “VR1” or the VR video is displayed. In the case of the pattern “VR2”, a small symbol that is a lost combination is stopped and displayed. The same applies to the stop display of decorative symbols. Note that the broken line in the frame in FIG. 16 (J1) indicates that the player cannot see the display on the first display device 5 because the player wears the second display device 1000. In the second display device 1000,
As shown in FIG.12 and FIG.16 (J2), the result notification of the VR effect similar to the 1st display apparatus 5 is performed, and a small symbol stops and displays. In addition, a message “Please remove VR goggles” is displayed.

(When 118 seconds have elapsed since the start of fluctuation to 120 seconds after the start of fluctuation)
In the first display device 5, as shown in FIG. 12 and FIG. 16 (K1), the result of the VR effect is notified, and the decorative symbol is stopped and displayed instead of the small symbol. In the second display device 1000, as shown in FIG. 12 and FIG. 16 (K2), the result notification of the VR effect similar to the first display device 5 is performed,
The decorative design stops. Note that the broken line in the frame in FIG.
000 is not attached, indicating that the display on the second display device 1000 cannot be seen.

(Another example: 40 seconds after the start of fluctuation to 110 seconds after the start of fluctuation)
In addition, although it demonstrated that the display effect similar to the 2nd display apparatus 1000 was performed in the 1st display apparatus 5 during VR effect, you may make it not perform the effect display similar to the 2nd display apparatus 1000. . For example, at the time t7 and the time t8, the first display device 5 displays the state shown in FIG.
Instead of H1), as shown in the lower part of the center of FIG. 16, in a plain background video (for example, a black background, etc.), a notification “VR is being produced!” Or a message “Please wear VR goggles” is displayed. It may be displayed. Note that another example shown in the lower center part of FIG. 16 is an example when the player does not wear the second display device 1000 during the VR performance, but the second is during the VR performance.
When the display device 1000 is attached, it may be displayed as shown in FIG. 15 (G1) or FIG. 15 (H1), or a notification of “VR effect in progress!” May be given in a plain background video. .
Further, the first display device 5 may be configured so that the player can switch between effect display similar to the second display device 1000 or message display as described above in a plain background video.

(Another example: 110 seconds after the start of fluctuation ~)
Further, after the VR effect ends (for example, after displaying a message “Please remove VR goggles”), the display on the second display device 1000 may be ended. In the example shown in FIG. 12, a message “Please remove VR goggles” is displayed 3 seconds after the end of the VR performance, but a message “Please remove VR goggles” is displayed at the end of the VR performance. It may be displayed.

As described above, in the VR effect of the naval battle, the V direction depends on the player's face orientation and the operation of the structure.
The R image changes. For example, the orientation of the player's face, the position of the player's face (distance and angle with the structure (push button 31B, stick controller 31A)), and operation of the stick controller 31A (operation in the front-rear direction, left-right direction) The field of view changes according to the operation etc.), the operation rod as an image moves, and a bullet is fired when the push button 31B etc. is pressed.
Further, in the VR effect of the naval battle, the feel of the structure changes according to the VR video. For example, the stick controller 31 </ b> A vibrates according to the bullet of the own device, and the vibration mode of the stick controller 31 </ b> A changes according to the state of the own device (can be roughly confirmed with a VR image). In the VR effect of the naval battle, the response at the time of operating the structure changes according to the VR video. For example, the response at the time of operating the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B changes according to the state of the own device (can be roughly confirmed by the VR video). In addition, in the VR production of the naval battle, the result (defeat,
Expectations differ depending on the strategy failure, strategy success, or big win.

In the above-described embodiment, the VR effect of the naval battle using the VR image of the naval battle as the VR image and using the push button 31B and the stick controller 31A as the structure has been described. It is not limited to VR production in naval battles. Hereinafter, FIG.
As another modification, other VR effects executed in the gaming machine 1 will be described with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 17 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the outline of each VR effect of the first to seventh modifications. FIG. 18 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the VR effect of the first modification is being executed. FIG. 19 shows V of modification 2
It is a figure showing a mode when R production is performed. FIG. 20 is a diagram illustrating a state where the VR effect of the third modification is being executed. FIG. 21 is a diagram illustrating a state where the VR effect of the fourth modification is being executed. FIG. 22 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the VR effect of the modification example 5 is being executed. FIG. 23 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the VR effect of the modification 6 is being executed. FIG. 24 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the VR effect of the modification example 7 is being executed. Each of FIG. 18 to FIG. 24A shows a structure (one example) included in the gaming machine 1 in each of the first to seventh modifications. Each of (B) in FIGS.
It is a VR video (VR video viewed by a player wearing the second display device 1000) displayed on the display unit 1120 of the display device 1000. Although not shown in FIG. 18A to FIG. 24A, the same image as that of the second display device 1000 is displayed on the first display device 5 as shown in FIG. 15H1. Alternatively, as shown in another example of FIG.
An image different from 000 may be displayed.

In the gaming machine 1, instead of the naval VR effect, the VR effect of the first modification, the VR effect of the second modification,
Any VR effect of the VR effect of Modification Example 3, the VR effect of Modification Example 4, the VR effect of Modification Example 6, and the VR effect of Modification Example 7 may be executed.

(VR effect of modification 1)
As shown in FIG. 17, the VR effect of Modification 1 is a VR effect that escapes from an invading enemy hide. The VR video used in Modification 1 is a video as shown in FIG. 18B that escapes to the outside while fending off the enemy from inside the enemy hide. The structure used in the first modification is shown in FIG.
A gun model as shown in FIG. The VR effect of the modification 1 is, for example, the first display device 5.
This is followed by a scene where a blasting device is set deep in the hideout. That is, the player wears the second display device 1000 after viewing the scene on the first display device 5. Note that the first display device 5 displays a message to start the VR effect and a message prompting the user to attach the second display device 1000 before the VR effect is started on the second display device 1000. The same applies to Modifications 2 to 7.

In the VR effect of the first modification, the VR video changes according to the orientation of the player's face and the operation of the structure by the player. For example, the field of view changes depending on the orientation of the player's face and the position of the player's face (distance, angle, etc. with respect to the structure (gun model)). In addition, the player operates the gun model (
The direction of the barrel changes according to the operation of changing the direction of the barrel and the operation of firing the bullet), and the bullet is fired. Further, in the VR effect of the first modification, the feel of the structure changes. For example, the gun model vibrates in response to an operation of the gun model (an operation to fire a bullet). In the VR production of the first modification, the degree of expectation varies depending on whether or not the escape is successful, the situation at the time of escape (the degree of injury, items acquired during the escape process (such as confidential information of the enemy)), etc. May be.

In the VR effect of the first modification, the VR video may be changed according to the contact of the structure by the player. For example, by providing a sensor (a pressure sensor, a touch sensor, a camera, etc.) that can detect which position of the gun model is grasped, depending on the position that the player is grasping, how to grasp the gun in the VR image (One hand or both hands) may be changed. The camera may be the camera 1150 of the second display device 1000, or the gaming machine 1 may be provided with another camera and the other camera. The same applies to the case where the camera is used in other modified examples.

Note that the gaming machine 1 may store the gun-type model inside the case during normal times (when the VR effect is not being executed), and may be moved outside the case as shown in the figure when the VR effect is executed. Ordinarily, the gun-type model may be kept at a position that is not conspicuous, and may be moved to the position shown in the figure when the VR effect is executed.

(VR effect of modification 2)
As shown in FIG. 17, the VR effect of the second modification is a VR effect of the door. The VR video used in the second modification is a video for operating the door as shown in FIG. The structure used in the modification 2 is a door knob type model that opens and closes like a door (part) of a door as shown in FIG. For example, the VR effect of the second modification is executed on the first display device 5 following the scene where the door is reached. That is, the player wears the second display device 1000 after viewing the scene on the first display device 5.

In the VR effect of the second modification, the VR video changes according to the orientation and position of the player's face and the operation of the structure by the player. For example, the direction of the player ’s face, the position of the player ’s face (structure (
The field of view changes depending on the distance and angle with the doorknob model). Further, the door knob is moved or the door is opened in accordance with the operation of the door knob model by the player (moving, pushing, pulling, etc.). In the VR effect of the modified example 2, the degree of expectation may be different depending on whether the door is opened, the situation on the other side of the opened door (whether it is in an expected state), or the like.

Note that the gaming machine 1 may normally store the plate and doorknob type model inside the housing and move it outside the housing as shown in the figure when executing the VR effect, or normally the plate and doorknob. The model may be kept waiting at an inconspicuous position and moved to the position shown in the figure when the VR effect is executed.

(VR effect of modification 3)
As shown in FIG. 17, the VR effect of the third modification is a VR effect of the future cart. The VR video used in the third modification is a video of a future cart flying in a future city as shown in FIG. The structure used in the modified example 3 is a safety bar model imitating a safety bar in a future card as shown in FIG. The VR effect of Modification 3 is, for example, the first
This is executed on the display device 5 following the notice display of the start of the mission to express the destination. That is, the player wears the second display device 1000 after viewing the notice effect on the first display device 5.

In the VR effect of the third modification, the VR video changes according to the orientation of the player's face. For example,
The direction of the player's face and the position of the player's face (distance and angle with the structure (safety bar model))
The field of view changes depending on the situation. Further, in the VR effect of the third modification, the feel of the structure changes according to the VR video. For example, when a future cart hits something, the safety bar model vibrates,
A space where the surface temperature of the safety bar model becomes high and the temperature is low when the futuristic cart passes through a high temperature space (for example, in a huge theme park with a desert or volcano motif) until the destination. The surface temperature of the safety bar model will be low when passing through (for example, a huge theme park with the Arctic and Ice Age motifs). The method for controlling the temperature of the safety bar model (the same applies to the hand model of Modification 5) is not particularly limited, and for example, a Peltier element or the like may be used. In the VR effect of the third modification, the degree of expectation may be different depending on whether or not the destination has been safely reached, the situation at the time of arrival, and the like.

In the VR effect of the third modification, the VR video may be changed according to the contact of the structure by the player. For example, by providing a sensor (pressure sensor, touch sensor, camera, etc.) that can detect which position of the safety bar is gripped, the bar is gripped in the VR image according to the position that the player is gripping. You may change the position.

Note that the gaming machine 1 normally stores the safety bar model inside the casing, and may move it to the outside of the casing as shown in the drawing when executing the VR effect, or normally, the safety bar model. May be put on standby at a position where it is inconspicuous and moved to the position shown in the figure when the VR effect is executed.

(VR effect of modification 4)
As shown in FIG. 17, the VR effect of Modification 4 is a VR effect of fishing. The VR video used in the modified example 4 is a video fighting with a swordfish hit on the fishing boat deck offshore as shown in FIG. The structure used in Modification 4 is a fishing rod model (grip part, reel part) as shown in FIG. For example, the VR effect of the modification 4 is executed when the first display device 5 hits a big game. In other words, the player
After viewing the above scene on the first display device 5, the second display device 1000 is attached.

In the VR effect of the modified example 4, the VR video changes according to the orientation of the player's face and the operation of the structure by the player. For example, the field of view changes depending on the orientation of the player's face and the position of the player's face (distance and angle with the structure (fishing rod model)). Further, the movement of the fishing rod and the movement of the swordfish change according to the operation of the fishing rod model by the player (operation to change the direction of the grip, operation to wind up the reel, etc.). Moreover, in the VR effect of the modification 4, the feel of the structure changes according to the VR video. For example, the grip portion vibrates or the operational feeling of the reel portion (weight for winding up the reel, etc.) changes according to the movement of the swordfish or the direction of the fishing rod. In the VR production of Modification 4,
The degree of expectation may be different depending on whether the fish has been caught and the weight of the fish that has been caught.

Note that the gaming machine 1 may normally store the fishing rod model inside the housing and move it outside the housing as shown in the figure when executing the VR effect, or normally, the fishing rod model will be conspicuous. You may make it wait in the position which is not, and may move to the position shown in figure in the case of execution of VR production.

(VR effect of modification 5)
As shown in FIG. 17, the VR effect of Modification 5 is a VR effect of an idle event. The VR video used in Modification 5 is a video of an event in which an idol appears such as a signing event as shown in FIG. The structure used in Modification 5 is an idle hand model (hand model) as shown in FIG. The VR effect of Modification 5 is, for example, when the turn of the person at the signing meeting place is soon on the first display device 5 (for example, the scene in which the next of the previous two people becomes their turn) Followed by That is, the player wears the second display device 1000 after viewing the scene on the first display device 5.

In the VR effect of the modified example 5, the VR video changes according to the orientation of the player's face and the manner in which the player touches the structure. For example, the field of view changes depending on the orientation of the player's face and the position of the player's face (distance, angle, etc. with respect to the structure (hand model)). Also, the surroundings (guards, other fans, etc.) of the idol's facial expression and attitude, etc., change according to the manner of contact of the hand model by the player (gripping method (gripping power, etc.), gripping time, etc.). Further, in the VR effect of the modified example 5, the feel of the structure changes according to the VR video. For example, the surface temperature of the hand model and how to grip (grip strength) change according to the facial expression and attitude of the idol. In addition, when the idol retracts his hand, the hand model moves in a direction that the player cannot touch. In the VR effect of the modified example 5, the degree of expectation may differ depending on the facial expression of the idol.

Note that the gaming machine 1 normally stores the hand model inside the housing, and when executing the VR effect,
As shown in the figure, the hand model may be moved to the outside of the case, or in a normal state, the hand model may be kept at a position that is not conspicuous, and may be moved to the position shown in the drawing when the VR effect is executed.

In addition, although it can say also to the structure of another modification, in the case of the hand model of modification 5, for example, a material close to the real material may be used in order to increase the reality. For example, in the case of a hand model, an artificial skin sheet or silicon may be used.

(VR effect of modification 6)
As shown in FIG. 17, the VR effect of Modification 6 is a VR effect of a pet hedgehog.
The VR video used in Modification 6 is a video of touching a hedgehog in his room as shown in FIG. The structure used in the modified example 6 is a structure that looks like the back of a hedgehog as shown in FIG. Note that pin art is used for the structure that looks like the back of a hedgehog. The VR effect of the modified example 6 is executed, for example, on the first display device 5 following a scene in which the hedgehog is noted. That is, the player wears the second display device 1000 after viewing the scene on the first display device 5.

In the VR effect of the modified example 6, the VR video changes according to the orientation of the player's face. For example,
The field of view changes depending on the orientation of the player's face and the position of the player's face (distance, angle, etc. with the structure). Moreover, in the VR effect of the modified example 6, the feel of the structure changes according to the VR video. For example, the state of the structure (for example, the length of each pin in the pin art) changes according to the state of the hedgehog (for example, standing or laying back on the back, or rounding the body) To do. In the VR effect of the modified example 6, the degree of expectation may be different depending on the state of the hedgehog (whether the hair is standing or rounded).

The method of controlling the length of each pin of the pin art is not particularly limited. For example, a mechanism for projecting the length of each pin of the pin art to the maximum length (such as a plate that pushes all the pins from the lower surface) and the target A mechanism for adjusting the length of each pin so as to be in a state (a plurality of forming molds for pressing each pin from the upper surface) may be used. For example, pressing a forming mold (a forming mold in which the pin protruding to the maximum length is sparse) from the state where all the pins protrude to the maximum length (initial state) to the state where the hedgehog is raised Thus, the state in which the hedgehog is standing up may be reproduced (the state in which the hedgehog is standing up is reproduced by making the entire pin uneven). In addition, from the initial state, the hedgehog lays down the thorns by pressing the forming mold (the forming mold that pushes down the pin as a whole) to reproduce the state where the hedgehogs lay the thorns down.
The state where the thorn is laid may be reproduced by flattening the entire pin). Also, from the initial state, the state where the hedgehog is rounded is reproduced by pressing the forming die (the forming die that pushes down the peripheral pin more) to reproduce the state where the hedgehog is rounded (
The rounded state may be reproduced by making the entire pin a hemisphere. Note that the pin art is normally stored inside the housing of the gaming machine 1 and is moved outside the housing at a predetermined timing after the length is adjusted inside the housing when the VR effect is executed. I am doing so.

In the VR effect of the modification 6, the VR video may be changed according to the contact of the structure by the player. For example, by providing a sensor (camera or the like) that can detect whether it is a right hand or a left hand, a VR image is displayed depending on whether the player's hand near the structure is a right hand, a left hand, or both hands. The hand touching the hedgehog may be changed. That is, the right hand may be displayed when touching with the right hand, and the left hand may be displayed when touching with the left hand. The same applies to Example 7. In addition, for example, it is possible to measure and adjust the length of each pin of pin art (for example, it can be controlled by a motor or the like), and a player touches the tip of each pin (not all pins). By providing a detectable sensor, the shape of the pin art may be changed according to the contact of the pin by the player, and the VR video may be changed according to the change.

(VR effect of modification 7)
As shown in FIG. 17, the VR effect of the modified example 7 is a VR effect of a treasure box. The VR video used in the modified example 7 is a video as shown in FIG. 24B for finding a treasure chest while exploring a hidden area and confirming the contents of the treasure chest. The structure used in Modification 7 is as shown in FIG.
Two treasure box-type structures (structure A, structure B), a rotary table or the like in which two treasure box-type structures are fixedly arranged at the top. The structure A has an opening that looks like a damaged part, and a structure a that looks like a treasure is fixedly arranged at the bottom. The structure B also has an opening that looks like a damaged part, but a structure b that looks like dust instead of a treasure is fixedly arranged at the bottom. The feel of the surface of the structure a that looks like a treasure is smooth, and the feel of the surface of the structure b that looks like a dust is rough. The VR effect of the modified example 7 is executed following a scene where a treasure box is found on the first display device 5, for example. That is, the player wears the second display device 1000 after viewing the scene on the first display device 5.

In the VR effect of the modified example 7, the VR video changes according to the orientation of the player's face. For example,
The field of view changes depending on the orientation of the player's face and the position of the player's face (distance, angle, etc. with the structure). In the VR effect of the modified example 7, the degree of expectation may be different depending on whether the contents of the treasure box are treasure or garbage.

Note that the gaming machine 1 may normally store the table inside the housing and move it to the outside of the housing as shown in the figure when executing the VR effect, or normally wait for the table to be inconspicuous. In addition, when executing the VR effect, it may be moved to the position shown in the figure.

As described above, each VR effect (VR effect of naval battle, VR effect of modification example 1, VR effect of modification example 2, VR effect of modification example 3, VR effect of modification example 4, VR effect of modification example 6, modification example 7) However, the VR video, the structure, and the like can be arbitrarily changed and modified without departing from the gist of the present invention.

For example, in the above embodiment, the movement of the head (face) is detected as the player's movement. However, instead of or in addition to the movement of the head, a sensor is provided so that movement of the hand or leg can be detected. Also good.
It may be a sensor attached to the player's hand or leg, or a sensor for detecting the movement of the player's hand or leg or the like may be attached to the housing side of the gaming machine 1. In other words, instead of or in addition to the movement of the player's head, the VR video may change based on the movement of the player's hand or leg.

Further, in each VR effect described above, a wind (normal wind, wind warmer than normal, wind colder than normal, etc.) may be generated. For example, in Modification 3 (VR production of a future cart)
The futuristic cart may emit a warm wind toward the player when passing through a high temperature space, and may direct a cold wind toward the player when passing through a low temperature space. Further, in each VR effect, an odor (fragrance) may be emitted. For example, in Modification 5 (idle VR production), when the distance from the idol becomes short, a so-called “good odor” such as perfume or shampoo may be emitted. In addition to the above, various effects (for example, vibration of the seat, spraying, etc.) experienced by the player may be appropriately performed according to the VR video.

In the above-described embodiment, each VR effect is executed during the reach, but the scene where the VR effect is applied is not limited to this. For example, at the time of starting winning, etc., a message that prompts the user to attach the second display device 1000 is displayed according to the result of the prefetch determination, and the variable is executed until the variable display that is the target of the prefetch determination is started. The VR video may be displayed even in the display (which may or may not be reach). That is, the VR effect may be shown as the pre-reading notice effect before the VR effect in the target change by attaching the VR goggles before the target change in the pre-reading.

In addition, VR effects may be executed in scenes other than during variable display. In other words, in the above embodiment, each of the VR effects described above is executed during variable display, and the degree of expectation of the jackpot varies depending on the result of the VR effect. For example, the VR effect is in the jackpot gaming state (during round). May be executed, and the degree of expectation of the probability change promotion, the round promotion, and the reserved resort in the reservation may be changed according to the result of the VR effect. In addition, when a plurality of types of short time (or ST number) after the big hit are prepared, the VR effect is executed in the big hit game state, and the short time (or ST number) increases according to the result of the VR effect. The degree of expectation for may be different. Further, the VR effect may be executed in the big hit gaming state (during the round) regardless of the degree of expectation. For example, in the jackpot gaming state when the number of consecutive games reaches a predetermined number or in the jackpot gaming state when the cumulative number of balls reaches a predetermined number (the next jackpot gaming state of the next jackpot when the time of VR performance cannot be secured) The VR effect may be executed as a privilege for the so-called explosion.

Further, a plurality of types of stories may be prepared for each VR effect described above. For example,
For VR production of naval battles, prepare a story of three types of naval battles off the A island, off the B islands, and off the C archipelago. Alternatively, any story may be executed according to the player's selection.

In addition, all the structures used in the VR effects described above can be touched by a player's hand, but may be touched by a foot, a waist, a back, or the like.

The structure used in each VR effect described above may be detachable from the casing of the gaming machine 1 (the gaming machine frame 3). For example, the model A is equipped with the gun model of the first modification,
In the case of the model B, the fishing rod model of the modified example 4 may be mounted.

Further, in the gaming machine 1, the VR effect of the naval battle, the VR effect of the modification example 1, the VR effect of the modification example 2, the VR effect of the modification example 3, the VR effect of the modification example 4, the VR effect of the modification example 6, and the modification example 7 Of these VR effects, two or more VR effects may be executable. For example, a plurality of structures may be stored in the casing of the gaming machine 1 by reducing the size of the structure, and used depending on the performance to be executed. For example, a safety bar type model can be used in the production A (for example, the future cart production of the third modification), and a hand model can be used in the production B (for example, the idol production in the fifth modification). Also good. Note that the VR effect to be executed and the type of structure to be used may be varied depending on the type of variation pattern, the current gaming state of the gaming machine 1, and the like.

Note that the VR effect is preferably related to the motif of the gaming machine 1. Therefore, when enabling two or more VR effects to be executed in the gaming machine 1, it is preferable that the VR effects have a common point in relation to the motif. As an example, VR effect of naval battle and Modification 1
In the combination of VR production (escape from enemy hideout), the enemy hideout in the VR production of Modification 1 is the enemy military base in the VR production of the naval battle, and the firearm used in the VR production of Modification 1 is the VR production of the sea battle. It is preferable that it is consistent with the era. As another example,
VR effect (Idle event) of Modification 5 and VR effect (Pet's hedgehog) of Modification 6
In this combination, the setting may be that an idle fan (player) keeps hedgehogs in the room.

Note that the second display device 1000 appropriately displays the player's display on the display unit 1120 in accordance with the detection result of the detection means (for example, the detection result of the player's face (head), hand or leg movement, etc.). You may display the image | video (message etc.) which calls attention. Moreover, you may alert | report with a sound instead of or in addition to a display. Thereby, a player wearing the second display device 1000 can be appropriately alerted. Specifically, for example, it alerts the player to other adjacent gaming machines, other players playing in other neighboring gaming machines, cigarettes and drinks, and prevents accidents. can do.

Moreover, you may enable it to adjust the setting value (For example, settings, such as visual acuity, a focus, an interocular distance, etc.) regarding the visual recognition of the image | video displayed on the 2nd display apparatus 1000 (display part 1120). Thereby, the fall of the production effect can be prevented. The adjustment of the set value may be performed on the housing side (for example, the cross key 32), the second display device 1000 (for example, the operation unit 1130), or the like. It may be possible in both. In addition, when a predetermined condition is satisfied (for example, when a demonstration effect (demo movie) is started or when a non-game time exceeds a threshold value), the adjusted setting value is reset (for example, general May be set to an initial state which is a typical setting value). As a result, when a game is started on the gaming machine 1 that has not been operated for a while, since it is a general setting value, not a setting value of another person, it is possible to visually recognize the image relatively suitably. Become. In addition, when the non-game time exceeds the threshold, for example, it is counted from the end of the change (or counted from the last launch)
This is the case where a state where the game medium is not fired continues for a predetermined period. Also, memorize the setting value immediately before resetting, and for example, when returning from a meal break, the setting value can be adjusted more easily than selecting from the beginning by selecting "Previous setting" etc. Also good.

Further, on the first display device 5 and the second display device 1000 (display unit 1120), the description regarding the adjustment of the set value may be displayed. For example, the purpose and effect of the adjustment, the place to operate (cross key 32 / operation unit 1130, etc.), the operation method (setting value increase / decrease), and the cautions (reset matters, etc.) may be displayed. . As a result, the set value can be adjusted easily or suitably with reference to the description.

In addition, in the gaming machine 1, the VR effect illustrated above (the VR effect of the naval battle, the V of the modified example 1
R effect, VR effect of modification example 2, VR effect of modification example 3, VR effect of modification example 4, V effect of modification example 6
Instead of or instead of the R effect and the VR effect of the modified example 7, another VR effect may be executed.

Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the communication cable 1141 is extended from the upper right position of the housing | casing, you may extend from other positions. The appearance and configuration of the second display device 1000 are shown in FIG.
It is not limited to the form shown in A). For example, it may be of a type that includes a speaker and covers the player's ear.

Each VR effect described above (VR effect of naval battle, VR effect of modification example 1, VR effect of modification example 2, VR effect of modification example 3, VR effect of modification example 4, VR effect of modification example 6, modification example) 7), the structure used in the VR effect of the modified example is a type that can be touched by both hands or the right hand that holds the hitting operation handle (operation knob) (FIGS. 15 and 18 to 18). FIG.
See), and there is a possibility that the operation of launching the game medium may be hindered (that is, the operating rate may be reduced).
. In order to deal with this, for example, a structure that can be operated only with the left hand not related to the firing operation (for example, the structure of the stick controller 31A, Modification 6 or Modification 7) is operated only with the left hand. A message to that effect may be displayed. Or you may make it provide the structure of the type with which operation etc. are completed only by the left hand in the first place. Or you may enable it to perform launch operation also with a structure. For example, a game medium can be launched by pressing a launch button provided on the structure, or a game medium can be launched by simply touching the structure (a specific part or any arbitrary part). Also good. In the above case, the player may be notified of how the game medium can be launched. That is, it may be notified that the game medium can be launched by pressing a launch button provided on the structure, or that the game medium can be launched by touching the structure.

During the VR performance (when the second display device 1000 is mounted), the player may be notified whether or not a game medium is being fired. For example, as an example, if the game medium has not been fired for a predetermined time (particularly in the case of a big hit game state, etc.) In this case, the player may be notified of whether or not the game medium can be launched. Moreover, you may alert | report also when it is launching but it is not suitable launching (for example, when it should be left-handed when it should be left-handed).

Further, during the VR effect (when the second display device 1000 is attached), information regarding the game (for example, the number of stored memories, small symbols, right-handed instructions, etc.) may be notified to the player. Note that the player has a head (
When the face is moved, the VR video field of view changes, but the information regarding the game is displayed in a predetermined position regardless of the movement of the head (face) (for example, the number of reserved memories in the lower left of the display unit 1120, the upper left A small symbol may be displayed on the screen).

(VR production considering inside / out of sight)
As described above, the gaming machine 1 provides a virtual space (virtual space) in order to allow a player wearing the second display device 1000 to have a virtual experience (for example, the above-described sea battle). The virtual space provided to the player by the gaming machine 1 generally has an extent of 360 degrees in the vertical and horizontal directions. When the player wears the second display device 1000 and faces a certain direction at a certain position in the virtual space, an image corresponding to the direction based on the position is displayed on the player's field of view in the virtual space. The image is displayed on the display unit 1120 of the second display device 1000 as an internal (view) image.
As in the real space (real space), the view changes when the viewing direction changes in the virtual space, so what has been visible in the field of view until now disappears from the field of view or disappears. Things that were not visible can come into view. That is, V
During the display of the R video, the orientation of the second display device 1000 changes according to the orientation of the player's head (face), and the VR video changes according to the orientation of the second display device 1000. Depending on the orientation of the face, what has been displayed on the display unit 1120 until now is no longer displayed, or what has not been displayed on the display unit 1120 until now is displayed. Hereinafter, VR effects that are executed by the gaming machine 1 and that considers the inside / out of the field of view will be described.

FIG. 25 to FIG. 28 are explanatory diagrams for explaining VR effects in consideration of in-field / out-of-field. The VR effect used in the description in FIGS. 25 to 28 is a VR of a battle scene by a robot or the like.
Production. 25 and 26 are explanatory diagrams for explaining an object that exists outside the visual field in the left-right direction (horizontal direction) (as a specific example, left rear).

FIG. 25A shows a state where the player wearing the second display device 1000 is facing the front (the direction of the gaming machine 1). Note that in FIG. 25A, structures corresponding to the VR effects are omitted (the same applies to other drawings such as FIGS. 26A and 27A).

FIG. 25B shows the second display device 1 when the player is facing the front as shown in FIG.
000 (display unit 1120). In the VR image shown in FIG. 25 (B), a missile fired by the enemy robot CHA1, missile smoke, missile explosion as a frontal image based on the position of the robot (the robot operated by the player). The image GA1 of the image (hereinafter, missile etc.), the image GA2 of the missile launched toward the enemy robot CHA1, and the message ME1 to the player are displayed.

In addition, since the image GA1 such as a missile and the image GA2 such as a missile in this figure are scenes after the landing of the missile, the missile in flight is not depicted. The same applies to images of missiles in other figures. In addition, the missile in the image GA1 such as a missile is the missile GA1.
The missile in the image GA2 such as a missile may be referred to as a missile GA2, and the missile in the image GA3 (described later) such as a missile may be referred to as a missile GA3.

Further, the message ME1 indicates a direction related to the content of the message ME1. Specifically, since the content of the message ME1 is “left rear! Ally attack”, an arrow pointing in the left direction is displayed. In FIG. 25 (B), the message ME1 is displayed on the right side of the screen. However, since the ally machine is on the left side (left rear), the message ME1 is displayed on the left side of the screen (for example, the lower left corner). May be.

The message ME1 is sent for a predetermined time (for example, the friend robot CHA2 has missile GA.
Missile G for a predetermined time after launching 2 and missile G for a predetermined time after missile GA2 enters the field of view
It may be possible to continue displaying without erasing until a predetermined period of time has elapsed since A2 landed (or disappeared outside the field of view without hitting anywhere), or the ally robot CHA2 is within the field of view. You may make it continue displaying, without deleting until it enters. For example, the message ME1 may be deleted based on whether either a predetermined time has elapsed or the friend robot CHA2 enters the field of view. The same applies to erasure of messages ME2 and ME3 described later.

The speaker marks at the four corners shown in FIG. 25B are the four speakers (
FIG. 1 shows the state of sound output (volume and content) in each of the lower left and lower right speakers. The same applies to FIGS. 26 (B), 27 (B), and 28 (B).
For example, the mark on the upper left speaker shown in FIG. 25B indicates the sound of the missile GA1 of the enemy robot CHA1 (missile in the image GA1 such as a missile) as the main sound content (
The sound volume is “low”) and the firing sound (volume is “low”) of the missile GA2 (missile in the image GA2 such as a missile) of the ally robot CHA2 (see FIG. 26). Indicates medium level). In addition, the mark on the upper right speaker shown in FIG. 25B indicates the missile GA1 of the enemy robot CHA1 as the main sound content.
This indicates that the overall sound volume is low (a small level is expressed by one arc).

FIG. 25C is an explanatory diagram for explaining the VR video shown in FIG. 25B, and shows the positional relationship in the left-right direction (horizontal direction) of each object within and outside the visual field of the VR video. Yes. Specifically, FIG. 25C shows the enemy robot CHA1 shown in FIG.
, Missile GA1, missile GA2, own robot CHA0, friendly robot CHA2,
The positional relationship of ally helicopter CHA3 is represented. In addition, FIG. 25C is illustrated in FIG.
The player's field of view (left boundary line HL, right boundary line HR) in the VR video shown in FIG.

That is, as shown in FIG. 25C, within the player's field of view (left boundary line HL, right boundary line HR
), The enemy robot CHA1 and the missile GA1 fired by the enemy robot CHA1 exist, so that the player can use the enemy robot CHA1 and enemy robot CHA as shown in FIG.
You will see missile GA1 fired by 1. In addition, as shown in FIG. 25 (C), since there is no teammate robot CHA2 in the player's field of view, but the missile GA2 fired by the teammate robot CHA2 is present, the player, as shown in FIG. Although it is not known exactly who was fired by (what), the missile GA2 launched toward the enemy robot CHA1 will be seen. Note that the player has a friendly robot CHA2 that does not exist in the field of view.
Is not visible, but the orbit of missile GA2 (attack from the left rear to the front) and message M
Based on E1 “left rear! Friendly aircraft attack”, it can be predicted that there is a friendly aircraft (e.g., friendly robot CHA2) that launched the missile GA2 on the left rear.

Note that the own robot CHA0 may launch a missile or the like in accordance with the player's action (for example, a button press or the like). In addition, the own robot CHA0 is used for the player's action (for example, operation of the stick controller 31A, operation of a structure prepared for the VR effect (VR effect of a battle scene by a robot or the like), stepping, etc.). Accordingly, the robot moves (for example, it can approach the enemy robot CHA1 or move away from the enemy robot CHA1). Note that. The avatar described after FIG. 29 may also move according to the player's action (for example, stepping, etc.). Note that the player's stepping may be detected by some detection means (for example, recognition by a camera, a stepboard that can detect a stepping step, etc.).

FIG. 26 (A) shows a state immediately after FIG. 25 (A) and shows a player wearing the second display device 1000 facing the left side.

FIG. 26B shows the second display device 1 when the player is facing left as shown in FIG.
000 (display unit 1120). In the VR image shown in FIG. 26 (B), as an image of the left direction with reference to the position of the own robot CHA0, the enemy robot CHA1, the image GA1 of the missile etc. launched by the enemy robot CHA1, the enemy robot CHA1
An image GA2 such as a missile and the like and a team robot CHA2 launched toward the side are displayed.

FIG. 26C is an explanatory diagram for explaining the VR video shown in FIG. 26B, and represents the positional relationship of each object in the horizontal direction within and outside the visual field of the VR video. Since the player turned to the left as shown in FIG. 26 (A), the player's field of view (left boundary line HL, right boundary line HR) changes to the left in FIG. 26 (C). The scene shown in FIG. 26 is a scene immediately after the scene shown in FIG. 25 (a scene when the player immediately turns to the left in the scene shown in FIG. 25). The positional relationship between the objects is the same (or substantially the same) as the positional relationship in FIG.

That is, as shown in FIG. 26C, within the player's field of view (left boundary line HL, right boundary line HR
), The enemy robot CHA1 and the missile GA1 fired by the enemy robot CHA1 exist, so that the player, as shown in FIG.
You will see missile GA1 fired by 1. However, since the field of view has changed, FIG.
), The position (direction) where the enemy robot CHA1 can be seen and the trajectory (angle) of the missile GA1 are changing. In other words, the second display device 1000 (display unit 1120) varies the visibility of the enemy robot CHA1 and the missile GA1 according to the orientation of the player's head. Also, as shown in FIG. 26 (C), since the ally robot CHA2 has entered the player's field of view, in addition to the missile GA2 launched toward the enemy robot CHA1, the ally robot CHA2 that launches the missile GA2 is seen. It will be.

As can be seen by comparing the speaker marks at the four corners shown in FIG. 25B with the speaker marks at the four corners shown in FIG. 26B, the player turned to the front facing the left side. Later, in addition to video, the state of audio output (volume and content) has also changed. The same applies to the relationship (FIG. 27B, FIG. 28B) before and after the player faces upward, which will be described later.

In addition to the video and sound, the vibration may be changed before and after the player faces the left side. For example, the vibration (intensity, etc.) of a structure or the like (for example, a structure such as a stick controller 31A, a push button button 31B, etc.) It may be changed in accordance with the relationship between GA2 and missile landing position. The same applies to the relationship (FIG. 27B, FIG. 28B) before and after the player faces upward, which will be described later.

Further, the sound may be delayed according to the distance from the sound source. For example, FIG.
In the example shown in FIG. 26B, the distance between the player and the sound source is not changed, but the sound output timing may be varied depending on the distance between the player and the sound source. As an example, when a missile explodes nearby, the explosion sound may be heard faster than when it explodes far away. The same applies to the timing of vibration.

27 and 28 are explanatory diagrams for explaining an object that exists outside the visual field in the vertical direction (substantially directly above as a specific example).

FIG. 27A shows a state in which the player wearing the second display device 1000 is facing the front. Specifically, a state is shown in which the player is facing the front again slightly after the scene of FIG.

FIG. 27B shows the second display device 1 when the player is facing the front as shown in FIG.
000 (display unit 1120). In the VR image shown in FIG. 27 (B), the image GA3 of missiles and the like launched toward the enemy robot CHA1, the enemy robot CHA1, and the player as an image in the front direction based on the position of the own robot CHA0, to the player Message ME2 is displayed. In the message ME2, an arrow pointing upward is displayed as a direction related to the content of the message ME2 “upper sky! In FIG. 27 (B), the message ME2 is displayed on the lower side of the screen, but the message machine 2 is displayed on the upper side (for example, the upper left corner) of the friend machine because it is on the upper side (upper sky). May be.

FIG. 27C is an explanatory diagram for explaining the VR video shown in FIG. 27B, and represents the positional relationship in the left-right direction of each object within and outside the visual field of the VR video. Specifically, FIG. 27C shows the enemy robot CHA1 and missile G shown in FIG.
In addition to A3 (missile in the image GA3 such as a missile), the positional relationship among the own robot CHA0, the ally robot CHA2, and the ally helicopter CHA3 is shown. In addition, FIG.
Represents the player's field of view (left boundary line HL, right boundary line HR) in the VR video shown in FIG. Note that the lower side is omitted in FIG.

FIG. 27D is an explanatory diagram for explaining the VR video shown in FIG. 27B, and shows the positional relationship of each object in the vertical direction within and outside the visual field of the VR video. Specifically, FIG. 27D shows the enemy robot CHA1 and missile G shown in FIG.
In addition to A3, the positional relationship among the own robot CHA0, the friend robot CHA2, and the friend helicopter CHA3 is shown. FIG. 27D also shows the player's field of view (upper boundary line HU, lower boundary line HD) in the VR video shown in FIG.

That is, as shown in FIG. 27C and FIG. 27D, within the player's field of view (left boundary line HL
, Right boundary line HR, upper boundary line HU, lower boundary line HD)
Since 1 exists, the player views the enemy robot CHA1 as shown in FIG. In addition, as shown in FIGS. 27 (C) and 27 (D), the player has the missile GA3 fired by the ally helicopter CHA3, although the ally helicopter CHA3 does not exist in the player's field of view. As in (B), it is not known exactly who (what) fired, but you will see the missile GA3 launched toward the enemy robot CHA1. Although the player cannot see the ally helicopter CHA3 that does not exist in the field of view, based on the trajectory of the missile GA3 (attack from the top to the front) and the message ME2 “Sky! It can be predicted that there is a friendly aircraft (e.g., friendly helicopter CHA3) that launched the missile GA3.

FIG. 28A shows a state immediately after FIG. 27A, in which a player wearing the second display device 1000 is facing upward.

FIG. 28B shows the second display device 1 when the player is facing upward as shown in FIG.
000 (display unit 1120). The VR image shown in FIG. 28 (B) includes an image GA3 such as a missile launched toward the enemy robot CHA1 and an ally helicopter CHA3 (part) as an upward image based on the position of the own robot CHA0. A message ME3 to the player is displayed. In the message ME3, an arrow indicating a downward direction (a downward direction in which a player facing upward sees the front) is displayed as a direction related to the content of the message ME3 “forward !! Yes. Further, since the message ME3 is information about the enemy (or because it is caution information), a caution mark (“!” In an inverted triangle) is displayed.

FIG. 28C is an explanatory diagram for explaining the VR video shown in FIG. 28B, and shows the positional relationship of each object in the horizontal direction within and outside the visual field of the VR video. As shown in FIG. 28 (A), the player turned upward, but as shown in FIG. 28 (C), the player's field of view in the left-right direction (left boundary line HL, right boundary line HR) has not changed. . In addition, since the scene shown in FIG. 28 is a scene immediately after the scene shown in FIG. 27 (a scene when the player immediately faces upward in the scene shown in FIG. 27), the scene shown in FIG. The positional relationship between the objects is the same (or substantially the same) as the positional relationship in FIG.

FIG. 28D is an explanatory diagram for explaining the VR video shown in FIG. 28B, and represents the positional relationship in the vertical direction of each object within and outside the visual field of the VR video. Since the player faces upward as shown in FIG. 28 (A), the player's field of view (upper boundary line HU, lower boundary line HD) changes upward in FIG. 28 (D). As mentioned above,
Since the scene shown in FIG. 28 is a scene immediately after the scene shown in FIG. 27, the positional relationship of each object in FIG. 28D is the same (or substantially the same) as the positional relationship in FIG.
It is.

That is, as shown in FIGS. 28C and 28D, within the player's field of view (left boundary line HL
, Helicopter C on the right boundary line HR, upper boundary line HU, lower boundary line HD)
Since HA3 has entered, the player, as shown in FIG. 28 (B), in addition to the missile GA3 launched toward the enemy robot CHA1, the friendly helicopter CHA that launches the missile GA3.
You will see 3. On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 28C and 28D, the enemy robot CHA1 disappears from the player's field of view, so that the enemy robot CHA1 cannot be seen as shown in FIG. Further, since the enemy robot CHA1 existing in front is not visible, FIG.
As shown in (), the message ME3 “forward!

According to FIGS. 25 to 28, an effect (for example, an effect produced by missile GA2 in FIG. 25B, missile GA3 in FIG. 27B) or a message (for example, FIG.
The message ME1 in (B) and the message ME2 in FIG. 27B) pay attention to the presence of objects outside the field of view (for example, teammate robot CHA2 and teammate helicopter CHA3). It is possible to favorably promote the movement of the head (face) in the outward direction.

In the example shown in FIG. 25 to FIG. 28, the missile that was launched and the ally machine (ally robot CHA)
2. Since the ally helicopter CHA3) is connected through smoke, the player's viewpoint can be guided to a teammate outside the field of view, relying on the smoke.

(VR production where avatar appears)
The gaming machine 1 includes an object (avatar) as a player's alternation in the VR video displayed on the display unit 1120 of the second display device 1000 (in the virtual space provided to the player wearing the second display device 1000). (Hereinafter referred to as an avatar) can appear (appear).

The avatar provided by the gaming machine 1 operates according to the detection result of the player's movement. For example,
The avatar provided by the gaming machine 1 performs an operation that is the same or similar to the detected player's operation or is not the same or similar to the detected player's operation, but is associated with the player's operation in advance. (For example, walking when the player steps on).
Note that the avatar is detected even if the player's motion is detected, for example, when the detected amount of motion of the player is small or when the detected motion of the player is not a scheduled (assumed) motion. May not work.

In addition, the avatar may operate independently of the player's operation. The avatar provided by the gaming machine 1 may also blink occasionally, move a little periodically like breathing, or scrape hair regardless of the player's movement. You may move as a spear. In the following description, an avatar's motion irrelevant to the player's motion is ignored, and the fact that the avatar does not operate according to the player's motion may be simply expressed as an avatar not operating.

Depending on the nature of the VR video, the player's own avatar may appear (when visible) or may not appear (when not visible). Depending on the nature of the VR video, there are cases where an avatar of another player different from the player appears (when visible) and when not visible (when not visible). For convenience of explanation, the nature of VR video is classified into four types (types 1 to 4 below) regarding whether or not the player's own avatar is visible and whether or not other player's avatar is visible. .

(Type 1)
Type 1 is a VR video in a mode in which a virtual space is not shared among a plurality of gaming machines (a mode in which an avatar of another player does not appear in a virtual space provided to a certain player) and is subjective It is a VR image of an image (image based on the viewpoint (eye line) of its own avatar). In the case of a type 1 VR video, the player cannot see his / her avatar in addition to the avatars of other players that do not originally exist in the VR video. If there is something like a mirror in the virtual space, you can see your avatar reflected in the mirror (same for Type 3 below)
In the following explanation, basically (except where specifically mentioned), the existence of something like a mirror is ignored.
(Type 2)
Type 2 is a VR video that does not share a virtual space among a plurality of gaming machines,
In addition, it is a VR video of an objective video (video from a viewpoint different from the viewpoint of the own avatar (for example, a viewpoint from the back of the own avatar). In the case of a Type 2 VR video,
Although the avatars of other players that do not originally exist in the VR video cannot be visually recognized, the player's own avatar can be visually recognized.
(Type 3)
Type 3 is a VR video of a mode in which a virtual space is shared among a plurality of gaming machines (a mode in which an avatar of another player appears in a virtual space provided to a certain player), and is subjective This is a VR video image. In the case of the type 3 VR video, the player can visually recognize the avatars of other players present in the VR video, but cannot visually recognize his / her avatar.
(Type 4)
Type 4 is a VR video in which a virtual space is shared among a plurality of gaming machines, and is an objective video. In the case of the type 3 VR video, the player can also visually recognize his / her avatar in addition to the avatars of other players present in the VR video.

As described above, the avatar operates according to the detection result of the player's motion. For example, when the player wearing the second display device 1000 changes the orientation of the head (face), the orientation of the player's avatar's head Also changes.

Therefore, in the VR video (the above type 2 and the above type 4) where the user's avatar can be visually recognized,
Each player can see the change in head direction of his avatar. The second display device 1000
Since each player can recognize his / her head movement even while wearing the player, each player can also visually recognize that his / her avatar's head orientation changes according to his / her head orientation. .

Further, in the VR video (the above type 3 and the above type 4) in which the avatars of other players can be visually recognized, each player can visually recognize the change in the head direction of the other players' avatars. However, since the movement of the heads of other players cannot be visually recognized while the second display device 1000 is being worn, each player can determine the other player's head movement based on the movements of the other players' avatars. Although the movement of the head can be estimated, it cannot be confirmed that the direction of the head of the other player's avatar actually changes in accordance with the direction of the head of the other player.

As described above, an avatar that reflects the player's movement is displayed as an object in the VR video, and depends on the nature of the VR video (types 1 to 4 above), but the player or other game Visible to the person. The avatar visually recognized by the player and other players is a part of the player and has a high degree of attention. Therefore, the avatar is preferably a natural movement so as not to impair the sense of immersion. Hereinafter, the natural movement of the avatar will be described.

FIGS. 29-33 is explanatory drawing explaining the VR effect in which an avatar with a natural motion appears. The VR effect used for the description in FIGS. 29 to 32 is an effect in which the VR video of the type 3 is displayed. The VR effect used in the description in FIG. 33 is a VR effect that can switch between the type 1 VR image and the type 2 VR image.

FIG. 29A shows a state in which a plurality of gaming machines 1 are communicably connected. Note that in FIG. 29A, two gaming machines 1 (a gaming machine A and a gaming machine B) are illustrated, but three or more gaming machines 1 may be connected to be communicable. Information transmitted / received between the plurality of gaming machines 1 includes, for example, information related to each avatar (appearance), information related to the detection result of the player's motion (for example, an information signal that detects the motion of the player ( Detection information, etc.), or the operation information of the player's avatar based on the information signal). In other words, since each avatar has a single appearance (described later), information regarding the appearance of each avatar is shared between players, and each player's action is basically the second that each player wears. Display device 1000
Therefore, the players share information on the detection results of their respective actions. In addition, FIG. 29A shows each player (player a playing a game on the gaming machine A,
A state in which a player b) who plays a game on the gaming machine B is facing the front (the player a is in the direction of the gaming machine A and the player b is in the direction of the gaming machine B).

In FIG. 29A, the portion indicated by the balloon is the second display device 1000 (
It is a VR image (one example) displayed on the display unit 1120). The VR video of player a
The avatar Ab of the player b who is another player is displayed. In the VR image of player b,
The avatar Aa of the player a who is another player is displayed. The avatar Aa is roughly composed of a head (from the neck up) Aa1 and a body (from the neck down) Aa2. The avatar Ab is roughly divided into a head (above the neck) Ab1 and a body (below the neck) Ab2.
It consists of and.

FIG. 29B is an explanatory diagram for explaining the VR video shown in FIG. 29A, and shows the positional relationship in the left-right direction (horizontal direction) of each object within and outside the visual field of the VR video. ing. Specifically, FIG. 29B shows the player a appearing in the VR video of the player b.
The position of the avatar Aa of the player, the position of the avatar Ab of the player b appearing in the VR video of the player a,
Field of view of player a (avatar Aa) (left boundary line aHL, right boundary line aHR), player b (
It represents the field of view of the avatar Ab) (left boundary line bHL, right boundary line bHR).

As shown in FIG. 29B, since the avatar Ab exists in the field of view of the player a (avatar Aa) (the range by the left boundary line aHL and the right boundary line aHR), the player a
) To see Avatar Ab. As shown in FIG. 29 (B), the avatar Aa is within the field of view of the player b (avatar Ab) (the range defined by the left boundary line bHL and the right boundary line bHR).
Therefore, the player b sees the avatar Aa as shown in FIG.

In the example shown in FIGS. 29 to 31, in the state where the player is sitting facing the front, the player's avatar is displayed in the other player's VR video. Standing in the direction of Avatar). More specifically, it is assumed that both the head and the body are standing in the direction of other players (in this example, they are stopped, but they are also walking and running). Accordingly, in the example shown in FIG. 29, the player b is in front of (the gaming machine B
In the VR video of the player a, the avatar Ab stands with the head Ab1 and the body Ab2 facing the player a (avatar Aa). In addition, since the player a is also sitting facing the front (in the direction of the gaming machine A), in the VR image of the player b, the avatar Aa, the head Aa1, the body Aa2, and the player b (avatar Ab) Standing in the direction.

FIG. 30A shows how the VR video changes when the player moves his / her head (face) in the left / right direction (left direction in this example) in the environment shown in FIG. 29. Specifically, FIG.
The upper part of 0 (A) (the face illustration part) represents the movement of each player's head. More specifically, the left side at the top of FIG. 30 (A) represents that the player a continues to face the front direction between times T0 and T3. In the upper right side of FIG.
2 that the head has moved from the front to the left (leftward for the player b) from the front, and that the player b has not moved the head between times T2 and T3 (the head direction is at time T2) To the same extent). It is assumed that neither player a nor player b moves between time T0 and T3. In other words, in the upper part of FIG.
Between the time T0 and T2, the player b does not move while the body is facing the front direction between the times T0 and T3. This indicates that the head has been moved to the left.

A central portion (a portion below the face illustration portion) in FIG. 30A is a VR video (one example) displayed on the second display device 1000 (display unit 1120) of each player. More specifically,
The left side of the central portion in FIG. 30A represents the VR video of the player a between times T0 and T3. The right side of the central part of FIG. 30A shows the player V's V between times T0 and T3.
R picture is shown.

FIG. 30B is an explanatory diagram for explaining the VR video (the VR video of the player a and the VR video of the player b) shown in the center portion of FIG. 30A. This represents the positional relationship in the horizontal direction (horizontal direction) of each object outside the field of view. In particular,
FIG. 30B shows the position of the avatar Aa, the position of the avatar Ab, the position of the tree Ob1 that is the object, the position of the airship Ob2 that is the object at each of the times T0, T1, and T2 (time T3). Field of view of player a (avatar Aa) (left boundary line aHL, right boundary line aHR), field of view of player b (avatar Ab) (left boundary line bHL, right boundary line b)
HR). It is assumed that the airship Ob2 exists outside the field of view (the sky that cannot be seen without looking up).

As shown on the right side of the upper part of FIG. 30A, the player b moved his head from the front to the left during the time T0 to T2, so that the player b (avatar Ab) as shown in FIG. And the VR image of the player b changes as shown on the right side of the central portion of FIG. That is, as the player b moves his / her head to the left between the times T0 and T2, the avatar Aa and the tree Ob1 of the player a are on the right side in the VR video of the player b between the times T0 and T2. It moves and the avatar Aa disappears. Note that the player b does not move his / her head between the times T2 and T3, so the VR image of the player b does not change between the times T2 and T3.

In addition, as shown on the right side of the upper part of FIG.
Moves the head from the front direction to the left direction, so that the VR image of the player a changes as shown on the left side of the central portion in FIG. That is, according to the player b moving his / her head to the left during the time T0 to T2, in the VR video of the player a during the time T0 to T2, the player b
The head Ab1 of the avatar Ab is moving rightward (rightward for the player a who is the viewer of the avatar Ab). In addition, the player b does not move his head or body during the time T2 to T3, but the body Ab2 of the avatar Ab of the player b moves in the same direction (right direction) as the head Ab1 during the time T2 to T3. ing.

FIG. 31A shows how the VR video changes when the player moves his / her head (face) in the vertical direction (upward in this example) in the environment shown in FIG. 29. Specifically, FIG.
The upper part of 1 (A) (the face illustration) represents the movement of the head of each player. More specifically, the left side at the top of FIG. 31 (A) indicates that the player a continues to face the front direction between times T0 and T3. In the upper right side of FIG. 31 (A), the player b receives the time T0-T.
This means that the head has been moved upward from the front between 2 and that player b has not moved his head between times T2 and T3 (that the head direction remains at time T2). . In addition,
Similarly to the example shown in FIG. 30, it is assumed that neither the player a nor the player b moves between the times T0 and T3. That is, the upper part of FIG. 31A shows that the player a is not moving while the head and the body are facing the front direction between the times T0 and T3, and the player b is at the time T0.
This means that the body does not move while facing the front direction between -T3, but the head is moved upward between times T0-T2.

The central part (the part below the face illustration part) in FIG. 31A is a VR video (one example) displayed on the second display device 1000 (display unit 1120) of each player. More specifically,
The left side of the central portion in FIG. 31 (A) represents the VR video of the player a between times T0 and T3. The right side of the central portion of FIG. 31 (A) shows the player B's V between times T0 and T3.
R picture is shown.

FIG. 31B is an explanatory diagram for explaining the VR video (the VR video of the player a and the VR video of the player b) shown in the center portion of FIG. 31A. This represents the vertical positional relationship of each object outside the field of view. Specifically, FIG. 31 (B)
Is the position of the avatar Aa, the position of the avatar Ab, the position of the tree Ob1 as the object, the position of the airship Ob2 as the object, and the player a (avatar) at the times T0, T1 and T2 (time T3). Aa) field of view (upper boundary line aHU, lower boundary line aH)
D), the field of view of the player b (avatar Ab) (upper boundary line bHU, lower boundary line bHD).

As shown on the right side of the upper part of FIG. 31 (A), the player b moves his / her head upward from the front direction between times T0 and T2, so that the player b (avatar Ab) as shown in FIG. 31 (B). And the VR image of the player b changes as shown on the right side of the center portion in FIG. That is, as the player b moves his head upward during the time T0 to T2, the player avatar Aa and the tree Ob1 are on the lower side in the VR video of the player b during the time T0 to T2. The airship Ob2 can be seen. Time T2 to T3
During this time, the player b does not move his / her head, so the VR video of the player b does not change between the times T2 and T3.

In addition, as shown on the right side at the top of FIG. 31 (A), the player b between the times T0 and T2.
Moves the head upward from the front direction, so that the VR image of the player a changes as shown on the left side of the central portion in FIG. That is, in the VR video of the player a between the times T0 and T2, the player b in accordance with the player b moving his head upward between the times T0 and T2.
The head Ab1 of the avatar Ab is moving upward. Further, since player b moves his head and body between times T2 and T3, the VR video of player a does not change between times T2 and T3.

As described above, as shown in FIGS. 30 and 31, a player's avatar moves the head in the left-right direction according to the movement of the player's head in the left-right direction, and further moves the body in accordance with the movement of the head. Is moving left and right. For example, as shown in FIG. 30A, the avatar Ab of the player b has the head Ab in accordance with the movement of the player b's head in the left direction (left direction for the player b himself).
1 moves rightward (rightward for the viewer), and the body Ab2 also moves rightward according to the movement of the head Ab1. In addition, a player's avatar moves the head in the vertical direction in accordance with the vertical movement of the player's head, but the body does not move in response to the movement of the head. For example, as shown in FIG. 31A, the avatar Ab of the player b moves the head Ab1 upward according to the upward movement of the player b's head, but the body Ab2
It does not move according to the movement of.

In other words, if the player moves his / her head in the left / right direction, the avatar's head and body may be unnatural in the left / right direction. The body is moved left and right in response to Also, if the player moves his head up or down,
It is unlikely that the avatar's head and body will be unnatural in the vertical direction (or if the body moves up and down according to the vertical movement of the head, it may become unnatural. ), The body is prevented from moving up and down in response to the vertical movement of the head.

FIG. 32 shows at least seven gaming machines (the gaming machine A and the gaming machine B shown in FIG. 29, the gaming machine C that the player c plays, the gaming machine D that the player d plays, and the player e A gaming machine E to play,
A gaming machine F on which the player f plays and a gaming machine G on which the player g plays are connected so as to be able to communicate with each other, and another player's avatar (avatar Ab of the gaming machine B, gaming machine) is connected to the VR video of the player a. C avatar Ac, gaming machine D avatar Ad, gaming machine E avatar Ae, gaming machine F avatar Af,
A state in which the avatar Ag) of the gaming machine G is displayed. Transition of time is shown in Fig. 32 (
A) → FIG. 32B → FIG. 32C.

In the scene of FIG. 32A, the avatar Ab faces the head Ab1 and the body Ab2 toward the front (the direction of the player a who is the viewer of the avatar Ab). The same applies to the avatar Ac, the avatar Ae, the avatar Af, and the avatar Ag. In addition, the avatar Ad faces the head Ad1 and the body Ad2 in the right direction (the right direction for the player a who is the viewer of the avatar Ad).

In the scene of FIG. 32A, the avatar Ad of the player d is facing the right direction, but the avatar Ad is facing the right direction while the player d is sitting facing the front of the gaming machine D. It may be. For example, the advancing direction of the avatar Ad (in this example, stopped but is the direction corresponding to the advancing direction when walking or running, that is, the direction in which the head and the body are facing) is right from the near side. By changing the direction, the avatar Ad may turn right when the player d is sitting facing the front of the gaming machine D. For example, the advancing direction of the avatar Ad may be switched by detecting the movement of the right or left foot of the player d, or the advancing direction of the avatar Ad may be switched according to some operation by the player d. May be.

In the scene of FIG. 32B, the avatar Ab has the head Ab1 facing leftward (leftward for the player a who is the viewer of the avatar Ab) and the body Ab2 facing forward. The avatar Ac has the head Ac1 facing downward and the body Ac2 facing forward. Avatar Ad is head Ad
1 is the back direction (the reverse direction of the near side), and the body Ad2 is facing the right direction. Avatar Ae
Both the head Ae1 and the body Ae2 are facing forward, and both arms are raised. Avatar A
f indicates that the head Af1 and the body Af2 are facing forward, and the right arm (the avatar Af)
Right arm). In the avatar Ag, the head Ag1 and the body Ag2 are facing forward.

In addition, in the scene of FIG. 32 (B), the avatar Ae of the player e has both arms,
For example, both arms of the avatar Ae may be raised by detecting the movement of the right arm and left arm of the player e, or both arms of the avatar Ae may be raised according to some operation by the player e. Good. The same applies to the avatar Af.

In the scene of FIG. 32C, the avatar Ab has the head Ab1 and the body Ab2 facing leftward. The avatar Ac has the head Ac1 facing downward and the body Ac2 facing forward. In the avatar Ad, both the head Ad1 and the body Ad2 are facing in the back direction. Avatar Ae is head Ae
Both 1 and body Ae2 are facing forward and both arms are raised. In addition, FIG.
The whole body Ae2 is longer than In the avatar Af, both the head Af1 and the body Af2 are facing forward, and the right arm is raised. In addition, the right side of the body Af2 raising the hand is long and the left side of the body Af2 not raising is short compared to FIG. In the avatar Ag, the head Ag1 and the body Ag2 are facing forward.

The movement of each player and the movement of each avatar in FIGS. 32 (A) to 32 (C) will be described. For example, in the scene of FIG. 32 (A), player b places his head (face) in the front direction (game machine B
)) To the right (right for the player b), the avatar Ab
The head Ab1 moves to the left (leftward for the player a) according to the movement of the head of the player b (FIG. 32 (A) → FIG. 32 (B)), and the body Ab2 also moves according to the movement of the head Ab1. And move leftward (FIG. 32 (B) → FIG. 32 (C)).

For example, in the scene of FIG. 32A, when the player c moves the head (face) from the front direction (the direction of the gaming machine C) downward, the avatar Ac has the head Ac1 as the head of the player c. Moves downward (FIG. 32A → FIG. 32B), but the body Ac2 does not move (FIG. 32 (
B) → FIG. 32 (C)).

For example, in the scene of FIG. 32A, when the player d moves his / her head (face) from the front direction (the direction of the gaming machine D) to the left direction (left direction for the player d himself), the avatar Ad is The head Ad1 moves in the back direction according to the movement of the head of the player d (FIG. 32A → FIG. 32B), and the body Ad2 also moves in the back direction according to the movement of the head Ad1 (FIG. 32). (B) → FIG. 32C).

For example, in the scene of FIG. 32A, when the player e raises both arms, the avatar Ae is lifted according to the movement of both arms of the player e (part of the body Ae2) (FIG. 32 (A) → FIG. 32 (B)), the torso (part of the body Ae2) and both legs (part of the body Ae2) also extend according to the movement of both arms (FIG. 32 (B) → FIG. 32 (C)). ). The avatar Ae in this figure raises both arms while bending the elbows so that the muscles of the two arms are raised. However, if both arms are raised while stretching the elbows, as in the case of a thousand years old, the body Ae2 will be stretched more. It may be.

For example, in the scene of FIG. 32A, when the player f raises the right arm, the avatar Af is raised according to the movement of the right arm of the player f in the right arm (part of the body Af2) (FIG. 32A). → FIG. 32 (B)), the right side of the trunk (a part of the body Af2) and the right leg (a part of the body Af2) extend according to the movement of the right arm, and the left side of the trunk (a part of the body Af2) The left leg (a part of the body Af2) contracts according to the movement of the right arm (FIG. 32 (B) → FIG. 32 (C)). In addition, Avatar A in this figure
The right arm is raised to the extent that it greets lightly, but when the right arm is raised higher so as to shake a large hand, the right side may be extended and the left side may be further reduced.

For example, when the player g is not moving from the scene of FIG. 32A, the avatar Ag does not move (FIG. 32A → FIG. 32C).

Note that the VR effects shown in FIG. 32 may be performed as simultaneous effects performed by game machines of the same model all at once. By being performed as a simultaneous performance, many players participate at the same time (many avatars appear in the virtual space), so the interest is improved.

The left side of the upper part of FIG. 33A shows a state in which the gaming machine 1 (gaming machine A) is not connected to other gaming machines 1 so as to be communicable. That is, the example illustrated in FIGS. 29 to 32 is a mode in which a virtual space is shared among a plurality of gaming machines, whereas the example illustrated in FIG. 33 is a mode in which the virtual space is not shared.

The right side (illustration of the face) in the upper part of FIG. 33A shows that the player a moved his head from the front to the right (right for the player a) between times T0 and T2. This indicates that the person a has not moved his / her head between times T2 and T3 (the head direction remains at time T2).

The central part (lower part in the upper part) of FIG. 33A is a VR video (one example) displayed on the second display device 1000 (display unit 1120) of the player a. In more detail, FIG.
The left side of the central portion of FIG. 8 represents a subjective VR video (corresponding to the above type 1) of the player a between times T0 and T3. The right side of the central portion in FIG. 33A represents an objective VR video (corresponding to the above type 2) of the player a between times T0 and T3. Subjective VR
Switching between video and objective VR video is possible. For example, it may be switched according to a predetermined operation by the player a and some operation by the player e, or may be switched automatically according to the contents of the effect.

FIG. 33B is an explanatory diagram for explaining the VR video (subjective VR video, objective VR video) of the player a shown in the central portion (left side, right side) of FIG. This shows the positional relationship in the left-right direction (horizontal direction) of each object within and outside the visual field of the VR video. Specifically, FIG. 33B shows the position of the avatar Aa, the position of the rock Ob3 that is the object, the position of the tower Ob4 that is the object, at each of the time T0, time T1, and time T2 (time T3). The field of view of the player a (avatar Aa) that is the subjective VR video viewpoint (left boundary line aHL and right boundary line aHR), and the virtual camera C that is the objective VR video viewpoint
a field of view (left boundary line IaHL, right boundary line IaHR).

(Subjective VR video)
As shown on the right side at the top of FIG. 33 (A), player a moves his / her head from the front to the right between times T0 and T2, so player a (avatar Aa) as shown in FIG. 33 (B). And the subjective VR video of the player a changes as shown on the left side of the central portion in FIG. Specifically, in response to the player a moving his head to the right between time T0 and T2, the rock Ob3 moved to the left side and disappeared during time T0 to T2. Ob4 becomes visible. Note that, since the player a does not move his / her head between the times T2 and T3, the subjective VR video of the player a does not change between the times T2 and T3.

Note that the VR video on the left side of the central portion in FIG. 33A corresponds to the above type 1 as described above, and since the virtual space is not shared among a plurality of gaming machines, the avatars of other players Since it does not appear, and since it is a subjective video, its own avatar Aa does not appear either, so the player a cannot visually recognize the avatars of other players or their own avatar Aa. However, when a mirror-like object exists in the virtual space, the player a visually recognizes the appearance of the avatar Aa reflected in the mirror by moving the own avatar Aa to the position reflected in the mirror. can do.

(Objective VR video)
As shown on the right side of the upper part of FIG. 33 (A), the player a moves his / her head from the front to the right during the time T0 to T2, so that the virtual camera Ca is within the field of view as shown in FIG. 33 (B). The direction of the head Aa1 of the existing avatar Aa changes, and the objective VR video of the player a changes as shown on the right side of the center portion in FIG. Specifically, the avatar Aa between the times T0 and T2 according to the player a moving his head to the right between the times T0 and T2.
Head Aa1 is moving in the right direction. In addition, the player a does not move his head or body during the time T2 to T3, but the body Aa2 of the avatar Aa is the head Aa during the time T2 to T3.
1 is moving in the same direction (right direction).

As described above, the VR effect in which the avatar appears has been described, but the avatar appearing in each game machine may be set in advance by the game shop. Further, instead of or in addition to the setting on the game store side, each player may be able to select his / her avatar from a menu screen or the like.

Note that the selection timing (for example, the display timing of the menu screen or the like) at which each player selects his / her avatar may be when the VR effect is being executed (for example, when the VR effect is started). The VR effect may not be executed (for example, during the demonstration effect). In addition, an avatar may be automatically selected (or presented as a recommendation) based on a membership card or face recognition. The avatar may be changed as appropriate.

Moreover, you may vary an avatar according to the condition of a game. For example, when a gaming machine is in the big hit gaming state, the avatar costume corresponding to the player of the gaming machine is designated as a special costume (
For example, it may be changed to a flashy costume. In addition, you may change to a special costume without depending on a player's intention, and you may change to a special costume according to a player's intention. For example, the avatar's costume may be automatically (forced) changed to a special costume, or the player is informed whether or not to change to a special costume, and when there is a response to change, the special costume You may change to Whether to change to a special costume without depending on the player's intention or to change to a special costume according to the player's intention (response to change) may be set on the game store side.

In addition, instead of or in addition to making the avatar different by some change (for example, changing the avatar's costume to a special costume) Wear a belt or a box at the feet of your avatar (dollar box)
The avatar may be made different by, for example. The same applies to a highly accurate state or a high base state.

In addition, the number of consecutive resorts, the number of today's accumulated games (the number of games of today's game machines 1 or other machines that include other machines), and the accumulated number of games of the model including the past Number and game time today (
Today's cumulative gaming time for the same gaming machine 1 or other machines including other machines) and experience values (
The avatars may be varied according to the points obtained according to the gaming results of the gaming machine 1). For example, the costumes, crowns, and belts may be changed to gorgeous ones depending on the number of consecutive villas, the number of balls, etc., or boxes may be stacked gradually (increasing the number of boxes). Good. It should be noted that, as described above, it may be different forcibly, or may be made different when a response is given to the player indicating whether or not to change.

Note that, as in the example of FIG. 32, when a large number of avatars appear in the same virtual space, the appearing avatars may overlap (a plurality of players become the same avatar). When there are a large number of avatars appearing in the same virtual space, there are few types of avatars originally prepared, or there is a bias in the popularity of avatars, the possibility of duplication increases. If there are duplicate avatars appearing, the correspondence between the player and the avatar may be difficult to understand. You may make it select each element (hairstyle, face, clothes, etc.) to perform freely combining. This reduces the probability that an avatar having the same appearance will appear. Also, for example, an avatar that has already been selected by another player may not be selectable in principle (unless only an avatar already selected by another player exists). The same applies when selecting each element in combination. The order of selection may be the first-come-first-served basis, or the order in which the experience values are large.

The example shown in FIG. 33 is an example of switching between a subjective VR video (type 1 above) and an objective VR video (type 2 above) in a mode in which a virtual space is not shared among a plurality of gaming machines. However, in a mode in which a virtual space is shared among a plurality of gaming machines, a subjective VR video (type 3 above) and an objective VR video (type 4 above) may be switched.

Further, in a mode in which a virtual space is shared among a plurality of gaming machines (the above-described type 3 VR video or the type 4 VR video is displayed), it is necessary to connect the plurality of gaming machines 1 so that they can communicate with each other. However, the communication form (connection form) is not particularly limited. For example, the gaming machines 1 may communicate directly or a plurality of gaming machines 1 may communicate via a hall management computer.

Instead of the gaming machine 1 premised on a game by one player, a special gaming machine that can be played by a plurality of players at the same time (a gaming machine that allows a plurality of players to play at the same time) is used. Thus, the virtual space in which the avatars of the plurality of players appear may be shared without connecting to other gaming machines so as to be communicable. In the case of a gaming machine capable of being played by a plurality of players at the same time, it is possible to acquire the respective operations of the plurality of players in the gaming machine without communicating with the other gaming machines. Even if they are not connected to each other, it is possible to share the virtual space in which the respective avatars of the plurality of players appear.

(Through image display)
Although the second display device 1000 has been described that the through image (live view, camera video) captured by the camera 1150 can be displayed on the display unit 1120, for example, the second display device 1000 is performing a VR effect ( A through image may be displayed during display of the VR video. That is, a VR image whose field of view changes according to the orientation of the head (face) is provided to the player wearing the second display device 1000, and the orientation of the head (face) (specifically, the lens 1151) You may provide the through image in which what changes according to (direction).

FIG. 34 is an explanatory diagram for explaining a VR effect for displaying a through image. FIG. 34 (A
) Is an example in which a through image SG1 obtained by imaging the board surface of the gaming machine 1 is displayed in a partial area W1 of a VR effect VR image (see FIG. 19B) for operating the door of the second modification. is there. That is, during the execution of the VR effect that operates the door of the second modification, the second display device 1000 displays the door as a VR image corresponding to the orientation of the player's head, and responds to the orientation of the player's head. The board is displayed as a through image. As shown in FIG. 34A, the player is viewing a VR video (second
Even when the display device 1000 is being mounted), it is possible to check the state of the board surface through the through image. For example, it is possible to check whether the game ball has been properly fired or whether a ball jam has occurred. .

FIG. 34 (B) shows that the player's seat (the player himself / herself plays) in a partial area W2 of the VR video by the avatar (the VR video at the time T2 (T3) shown on the right side of the central portion of FIG. 33A) This is an example in which a through image SG2 obtained by imaging the right side is displayed in a chair of a gaming machine). That is, the second display device 1000 displays a VR image when the player (avatar) turns to the right side and displays a through image when the player turns to the right side. As shown in FIG. 34 (B), even if the VR image is being viewed, if the head is moved, the surroundings can be confirmed through the through image. Therefore, the surrounding danger (prevention of collision with others, fire, fire) Etc.) can be avoided.

The shape of the region W1 (W2) shown in FIGS. 34A and 34B is a rectangle, but the shape is not limited to a rectangle, and may be, for example, a circle. The position of the area W1 (W2) is at the upper left,
The position is not limited to the upper left, and may be, for example, the lower right or the center. In addition, the region W1 (
The size of W2) is not limited to the size of the region W1 (W2) shown in FIGS. When the second display device 1000 has two or more cameras, two or more areas that can simultaneously display the respective through images may be provided.

Note that the second display device 1000 may display the through image in the partial area by superimposing the through image on the partial area of the VR video, or may display the VR in an area other than the partial area.
A video (a VR video excluding a portion to be displayed in the partial area) may be displayed and a through image may be displayed in the partial area.

The presence / absence of the through image display is switched by the player's operation. In particular,
The operation unit 1130 that has received the player's operation supplies operation information to the control unit 1110, and the control unit 1110 switches whether to display a through image based on the operation information. In addition to switching whether to display the through image, the shape, position, and size of the area for displaying the through image may be set by operating the operation unit 1130. Further, when the second display device 1000 has two or more cameras, the number of areas for displaying the through image is set to the operation unit 1.
The setting may be made by an operation 130. When the area for displaying the through image is smaller than the number of cameras, the camera for displaying the through image may be set by operating the operation unit 1130. Instead of or in addition to the player's operation, the presence / absence of the through image display may be switched by the player's operation (predetermined predetermined operation). In addition, whether or not to display a through image is switched regardless of the player's operation or action (for example, an instruction (command) of a hall management computer or a predetermined time by a timer provided in a gaming machine or the like). You may do it. The same applies to the shape, position, size, and the like of the area for displaying the through image, in addition to the switching of whether to display the through image.

(Button development production)
Hereinafter, the button development effect will be described in detail. The button development effect is an image (push button 3) corresponding to a button or the like (push button 31B, stick controller 31A).
This is an effect of changing (developing) a button image simulating 1B and a stick controller image simulating the stick controller 31A. Hereinafter, an image corresponding to a button or the like may be referred to as a “button or the like image” or “button or the like display”.

The effect control CPU 120 changes the display mode of the image such as one type of button (for example, changes the display mode (display color, display size) of the button image) or the one type of button as the button development effect. The image is changed to another type of button image (for example, the button image is changed to a stick controller image).

In the following description, a small-sized white button image imitating the push button 31B may be referred to as a “small button (white)” or a “first mode” as a button image or the like. Also, a large white button image simulating the push button 31B is displayed as a “large button (
White) ”or“ second embodiment ”. Further, a large-sized red button image simulating the push button 31B may be referred to as a “large button (red)” or a “third mode”. A stick controller image simulating the stick controller 31A may be referred to as a “stick” or a “fourth aspect”.

FIG. 35 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a button development effect category and a button development effect pattern in the present embodiment. The button development effect pattern is a button development effect mode (
Display mode). The button development effect category is a name when button development effect patterns are classified (aggregated) by type. In other words, the button development effect category is
A group name of each group including one or more button development effect patterns categorized into a common group.

In FIG. 35, “initial” is an initial display. “Final” is a final display.
“Timing 1” is the first timing at which an image such as a button can change. “Timing 2” is a second timing at which an image such as a button can change. “Timing 3”
This is the third timing at which images such as buttons can change. Depending on the fluctuation pattern,
“Timing 1”, “Timing 2”, and “Timing 3” may be different.

Also, in FIG. 35 (the same applies to other figures), “no change” indicates that there is no change in the image such as a button. “Weak change” indicates that there is a one-step change (one-step change) of an image such as a button. Specifically, “weak change (first → second)” is a one-step change from “first mode” to “second mode”, that is, “small button (white)” to “large button (white)”. "". “Weak change (2 → 3)” is a one-step change from “2nd mode” to “3rd mode”, that is, a change from “large button (white)” to “large button (red)”. It means that there is.
“Weak change (3rd to 4th)” indicates that there is a one-step change from “3rd mode” to “4th mode”, that is, a change from “large button (red)” to “stick”. ing. “Medium change” indicates that there is a two-stage change (two-stage change) of an image such as a button. Specifically, “Changing (
“1st → 3)” indicates that there is a two-step change from “first mode” to “third mode”, that is, a change from “small button (white)” to “large button (red)”. ing. “Medium change (2nd → 4th)”
Indicates that there is a two-stage change from the “second mode” to the “fourth mode”, that is, a change from “large button (white)” to “stick”. “Strong change” is a three-step change in images such as buttons
3 stage change). Specifically, “strong change (1st → 4th)” is “1st
This means that there is a three-stage change from “mode” to “fourth mode”, that is, a change from “small button (white)” to “stick”.

35, in the button development effect category “BH1”, the image of the button or the like does not change at any of the three timings (timing 1, 2, 3), and “final” is “first mode (small button ( White)) ”button development effect category. The button development effect pattern “BH1-1” belongs to the button development effect category “BH1”.

In the case of the button development effect pattern “BH1-1”, images of buttons and the like are displayed at timing 1.
, The image of the button or the like by the button development effect pattern “BH1-1” is displayed in the first period (“initial”, that is, “timing 1”.
"Before") and the second period ("timing 1" to "timing 2") and the third period ("timing 2" to "timing 3") are also the fourth period ("final", ie, "timing 3"). And so on) is also “first mode (small button (white))”.

In the button development effect category “BH2”, the image of the button or the like changes slightly at any one of the three timings, and the “final” is “second mode (large button (white))”.
This is a button development effect category. The button development effect category “BH2” includes a button development effect pattern “BH2-1” having a weak change at timing 1 and a timing 2
The button development effect pattern “BH2-2” having a weak change at “1” and the button development effect pattern “BH2-3” having a weak change at timing 3 belong.

For example, in the case of the button development effect pattern “BH2-1”, the button image changes slightly at the timing 1 and does not change at the timing 2 or 3, so the button image of the button development effect pattern “BH2-1” is In the first period (before “timing 1”), the “first mode (small button (white))” is selected, and the second period (“timing 1” to “timing 2”) or the third period (“timing”). 2 ”to“ timing 3 ”) and the fourth period (after“ timing 3 ”), the“ second mode (large button (white)) ”is set.

In the button development effect category “BH3a”, the image of the button or the like changes slightly at any two of the three timings, and the “final” is “third mode (large button (red))”.
”Button development effect category. In this embodiment, the button development effect category “
“BH3a” includes a button development effect pattern “BH3a-1” having a weak change at timings 1 and 3 and a button development effect pattern “BH3a-2” having a weak change at timings 2 and 3. .

For example, in the case of the button development effect pattern “BH3a-1,” the button image changes slightly at timing 1 and timing 3 and does not change at timing 2. , First period ("timing 1"
Previously) is “first mode (small button (white))”, and the second period (“timing 1” to “timing 1” to “
“Timing 2”) and the third period (“Timing 2” to “Timing 3”) are “second mode (large button (white))”, and “fourth period (after“ Timing 3 ”) are“ third ”. Mode (large button (red)) ".

In the button development effect category “BH3b”, at any one of the three timings, the image of the button or the like changes in the middle, and the “final” is “third mode (large button (red))”.
”Button development effect category. The button development effect category “BH3b”
Button development effect pattern “BH3b-1” having a medium change at timing 1, button development effect pattern “BH3b-2” having a medium change at timing 2, and timing 3
Belongs to the button development effect pattern “BH3b-3” having a medium change.

For example, in the case of the button development effect pattern “BH3b-1,” the button image changes middle at timing 1 and does not change at timing 2 or timing 3. , First period ("timing 1"
Previously) is “first mode (small button (white))”, and the second period (“timing 1” to “timing 1” to “
Timing 2 ”), the third period (“ timing 2 ”to“ timing 3 ”), and the fourth period (
“Timing 3” and thereafter) is “third mode (large button (red))”.

In the button development effect category “BH4a”, at any two of the three timings, the image of the button or the like changes medium at the previous timing, the image of the button or the like changes slightly at the later timing, and “final” This is a button development effect category that becomes the “fourth aspect (stick)”. In this embodiment, the button development effect category “BH4a”
The button development effect pattern “BH4a-1” having a medium change at timing 1 and a weak change at timing 3 and the button development effect pattern “BH4a-2” having a medium change at timing 2 and a weak change at timing 3 belong. Yes.

For example, in the case of the button development effect pattern “BH4a-1”, the image of the button or the like changes mediumly at timing 1, weakly changes at timing 3, and does not change at timing 2. Therefore, the button development effect pattern “BH4a-1” Images such as buttons are displayed in the first period (
Before “timing 1”, the “first mode (small button (white))” is selected, and the second period (“timing 1” to “timing 2”) or the third period (“timing 2” to “timing 3”). "
) In the “third mode (large button (red))”, and “fourth mode (stick)” in the fourth period (after “timing 3”).

In the button development effect category “BH4b”, in any two of the three timings, the image of the button or the like changes slightly at the previous timing, the image of the button or the like changes moderately at the later timing, and “final” This is a button development effect category that becomes the “fourth aspect (stick)”. In this embodiment, the button development effect category “BH4b”
A button development effect pattern “BH4b-1” having a weak change at timing 1 and a medium change at timing 3 and a button development effect pattern “BH4b-2” having a weak change at timing 2 and a medium change at timing 3 belong. Yes.

For example, in the case of the button development effect pattern “BH4b-1,” the button image changes slightly at timing 1, changes medium at timing 3, and does not change at timing 2, so the button development effect pattern “BH4a-1”. Images such as buttons are displayed in the first period (
Before “timing 1”, the “first mode (small button (white))” is selected, and the second period (“timing 1” to “timing 2”) or the third period (“timing 2” to “timing 3”). "
) In the “second mode (large button (white))”, and in the fourth period (after “timing 3”), the “fourth mode (stick)”.

In the button development effect category “BH4c”, an image such as a button changes strongly at any one of the three timings (timing 3 in the present embodiment), and “final”
Is a button development effect category in which “4th mode (stick)” is set. In the present embodiment, the button development effect pattern “BH4c-1” having a strong change at timing 3 belongs to the button development effect category “BH4c”.

In the case of the button development effect pattern “BH4c-1”, the button image changes strongly at the timing 3 and does not change at the timing 1 or the timing 2. Therefore, the button development image “BH4a-1” 1 period (before “timing 1”), 2nd period (“timing 1” to “timing 2”) and 3rd period (“timing 2” to “timing 2”)
“Timing 3”) is “first mode (small button (white))”, and “fourth mode (stick)” is in the fourth period (after “Timing 3”).

FIG. 36 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the button development effect determination process (step S529). FIG. 37 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the determination rate of the button development effect and the like. FIG. 38 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the determination ratio of the button development effect pattern. In FIG. 37 (A) (the same applies to other figures), the fluctuation pattern “PA4-X” is a super reach α (losing).
Fluctuation pattern (specifically, fluctuation patterns “PA4-1”, “PA4-2”, “PA4-3
Or any of the above). The variation pattern “PA5-X” is a variation pattern of super reach β (losing) (specifically, variation patterns “PA5-1”, “PA5-2”, “PA5-3”).
Any one). The fluctuation pattern “PB4-X” is a fluctuation pattern of super reach α (big hit) (specifically, any one of fluctuation patterns “PB4-1”, “PB4-2”, and “PB4-3”). The fluctuation pattern “PB5-X” is a fluctuation pattern of super reach β (big hit) (specifically, any of fluctuation patterns “PB5-1”, “PB5-2”, and “PB5-3”).

In the button development effect determination process shown in FIG.
Whether or not to execute the button development effect is determined (step S550). Specifically, C for production control
The PU 120 is based on the variation pattern specified by the variation pattern designation command.
Whether or not to execute the button development effect is determined at a determination ratio as shown in FIG.

For example, the effect control CPU 120 determines to execute the button development effect at a rate of 5% when the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command is the variation pattern “PA4-X”. For example, the ROM 121 stores a button development effect execution presence / absence determination table for super reach α (losing), which is referred to when the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command is the variation pattern “PA4-X”. In the table, the numerical values to be compared with the random number value for determining whether or not to execute the button development effect (random number value updated with one of the effect random numbers) are “not executed” and “executed”. May be allocated at a ratio of 5:95.

Further, for example, the effect control CPU 120 determines to execute the button development effect at a rate of 10% when the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command is the variation pattern “PA5-X”. For example, the ROM 121 stores a button development effect execution determination table for super reach β (losing), which is referred to when the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command is the variation pattern “PA5-X”. In this table, numerical values to be compared with the random values for determining whether or not to execute button development effects should be assigned to “no execution” and “execution” at a ratio of 10:90.

The effect control CPU 120 determines that the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command is a super-reach variation pattern (“PA4-X”, “PA5-X”, “PB
4-X "," PB5-X ") (" PA1-X "," PA2-X ","
PA3-X "," PB1-X "," PB3-X "), it is determined that the button development effect is not always executed.

According to FIG. 37 (A), when the button development effect is executed, it is always super reach, and therefore, the big hit expectation is higher when the button development effect is executed than when it is not executed.

Returning to FIG. After executing the process of step S550, the CPU 120 for effect control determines whether or not to execute the button development effect in the process of step S500 (step S551). When it has been decided not to execute the button development effect (step S
551; NO), the button development effect determination process is terminated.

On the other hand, when it is determined to execute the button development effect (step S551; YES),
The effect control CPU 120 determines a button development effect category (step S552).
Specifically, the effect control CPU 120 determines the button development effect category at a determination ratio as shown in FIG. 37B based on the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command.

For example, when the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command is the variation pattern “PA4-X”, the effect control CPU 120 uses the button development effect category “B”.
H1 "is determined at a rate of 30%, the button development effect category" BH2 "is determined at a rate of 20%, the button development effect category" BH3a "is determined at a rate of 20%, and the button development effect category" BH3b " Is determined at a rate of 10%, and the button development effect category “BH4a” is 1
The button development effect category “BH4b” is determined at a rate of 10%, and the button development effect category “BH4c” is determined at a rate of 0%. For example, the ROM 121 stores the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command in the variation pattern “PA4-
X ”is stored, and a button development effect category determination table for super-reach α (losing) is stored. In this table, a random value for determining the button development effect category (one of effect random numbers) is stored. ) Are compared with "BH1,""BH2,""BH3a," and "
BH3b "," BH4a "," BH4b ", and" BH4c "at 30: 20: 20: 10:
Allocate at a ratio of 10: 10: 0.

Further, for example, when the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command is the variation pattern “PA5-X”, the effect control CPU 120 determines the button development effect category “BH1” at a rate of 0%, and develops the button development effect. The category “BH2” is determined at a rate of 30%, the button development effect category “BH3a” is determined at a rate of 20%, the button development effect category “BH3b” is determined at a rate of 20%, and the button development effect category “ BH4a "is determined at a rate of 15%, button development effect category" BH4b "is determined at a rate of 10%,
The button development effect category “BH4c” is determined at a rate of 5%. For example, the ROM 121 stores the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command in the variation pattern “PA5”.
-X ”stores a button development effect category determination table for super reach β (losing), and a numerical value to be compared with a random value for determining the button development effect category is stored in the table. , “BH1”, “BH2”, “BH3a”, “BH3b” and “BH
4a ”,“ BH4b ”, and“ BH4c ”may be allocated in a ratio of 0: 30: 20: 20: 15: 10: 5.

According to FIG. 37 (B), in the super reach α, the button development effect category “BH1”
”Or“ BH2 ”, the button development effect category“ BH4a ”or“ BH
4b ”is determined when the variation pattern“ PB4-X ”is the variation pattern“ PA ”.
It is higher than the case of “4-X”. That is, in Super Reach α, the first mode (small button (white)) or the second mode (large button (white)) when the image of the button or the like finally changes to the fourth mode (stick). Expectation of big hit is higher than the case of stopping at In Super Reach β, the determination ratio of the button development effect category “BH4a” or “BH4b” or “BH4c” with respect to the determination ratio of the button expansion effect category “BH2” is the variation pattern “PB5-X”. Is higher than the variation pattern “PA5-X”. In other words, in Super Reach β, when the image of a button or the like finally changes to the fourth mode (stick), the big hit expectation is higher than when it stops in the second mode (large button (white)). Note that the relationship between the jackpot expectations is super reach β> super reach α.
According to 7 (B), the image such as a button is more likely to change to the fourth mode in the case of super reach β than in the case of super reach α. From the above, the fourth aspect (
Expectation of big hit of stick)> Expected big hit of third mode (large button (red))> Second mode (
Expectation of big hit for large button (red)> Expectation of big hit for first mode (small button (white)).

Further, according to FIG. 37B, the determination ratio of the button development effect category “BH3b” with respect to the determination ratio of the button development effect category “BH3a” is the variation pattern “PB4-X”. It is higher than the case of “PA4-X”, and the fluctuation pattern “PB5”
-X "is higher than the variation pattern" PA5-X ". That is, 1
When “final” becomes “third mode” due to medium change (2 step change) (BH3b), “final” becomes “third mode” due to 2 weak changes (1 step change). The big hit expectation degree is higher than the case (BH3a).

In addition, according to FIG. 37 (B), the button development effect category “BH4a” or “BH4b”
The determination ratio of the button development effect category “BH4c” relative to the determination ratio of
The case of “PB5-X” is higher than the case of the fluctuation pattern “PA5-X”. In other words, when “last” becomes “fourth mode” by one strong change (three-step change) (BH4c)
In the case of “Final” becomes “Final” by one weak change (1 step change) and 1 middle change (2 step change).
The big hit expectation is higher than in the case of “fourth aspect” (BH4a, BH4b). Further, the button development effect category “BH4b” with respect to the determined ratio of the button development effect category “BH4a”.
Is determined when the fluctuation pattern is “PB4-X”.
"And the variation pattern" PB5-X "is higher than the variation pattern" PB5-X ".
It is higher than the case of “PA5-X”. That is, when “final” becomes the “third mode” in the order of weak change (1 step change) and medium change (2 step change) (BH4b), medium change (2 step change), weak change ( When “final” becomes “third mode” in the order of one step change (BH4a
) Is higher than expected.

Returning to FIG. After executing the processing of step S552, the effect control CPU 120 determines one button development effect pattern belonging to the button development effect category determined in step S552 (step S553).

For example, if the button development effect category “BH2” has been determined in step S552, the effect control CPU 120 determines that the change pattern specified by the change pattern specifying command is the change pattern “ When it is “PA4-X” or “PA5-X”, the button development effect pattern “BH2-1” is determined at a rate of 36%, the button development effect pattern “BH2-2” is determined at a rate of 33%, Button development effect pattern “BH2
-3 ”is determined at a rate of 31%, and when the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command is the variation pattern“ PB4-X ”or“ PB5-X ”, the button development effect pattern“ BH2-1 ”is selected. Decided at a rate of 31%, button development effect pattern “BH2-2
"Is determined at a rate of 33%, and the button development effect pattern" BH2-3 "is determined at a rate of 36%. For example, in the ROM 121, a button development effect pattern for super-reach (loss) that is referred to when the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command is the variation pattern “PA4-X” or “PA5-X”. A (BH2-X) determination table is stored, and in this table, a numerical value to be compared with a random number value for determining a button development effect pattern (a random value updated with one of the effect random numbers) is “BH2 -1 "," BH2-2 "and" B
H2-3 ”may be allocated at a ratio of 36:33:31. The variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command is the variation pattern “PB4-X” or “P
A button development effect pattern (BH2-X) determination table for super reach (big hit), which is referred to when “B5-X”, is stored in the table. The numbers to be compared are "BH2-1", "BH2-2" and "BH2-
3 ”may be assigned at a ratio of 31:33:36.

For example, when the button development effect category “BH3a” has been determined in step S552, the effect control CPU 120 determines that the change pattern specified by the change pattern specification command is a change pattern as shown in FIG. “PA4-X” or “PA5-X”
The button development effect pattern “BH3a-1” is determined at a rate of 55%, the button development effect pattern “BH3a-2” is determined at a rate of 45%, and the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command is determined. Is the fluctuation pattern "PB4-X" or "PB5-X"
Is determined, the button development effect pattern “BH3a-1” is determined at a rate of 45%, and the button development effect pattern “BH3a-2” is determined at a rate of 55%. For example, ROM12
1, the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command is the variation pattern “P
A button development effect pattern (BH3a-X) determination table for super reach (loss), which is referred to when “A4-X” or “PA5-X”, is stored in the table. The numerical values to be compared with the random numbers for determination are “BH3a-1” and “B
H3a-2 ”may be allocated at a ratio of 55:45. Further, the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command is the variation pattern “PB4-X” or “PB5”.
-X "stores a button development effect pattern (BH3a-X) determination table for super reach (big hit), which is compared with a random value for determining a button development effect pattern. The numerical values to be added are “BH3a-1” and “BH3a-2” 45:
It suffices if it is assigned at a rate of 55.

If the button development effect category “BH1” has been determined in step S552, the button development effect pattern belonging to the button development effect category “BH1” is one type (button development effect pattern “BH1-1”). Therefore, as shown in FIG. 38A, the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command is the variation pattern “PA4-X”, “P
The button development effect pattern “BH1-1” is determined for any of “A5-X”, “PB4-X”, and “PB5-X”. In step S552, the button development effect category “
If “BH4c” is determined, there is one type of button development effect pattern (button development effect pattern “BH4c-1”) belonging to the button development effect category “BH4c”.
As shown in FIG. 38G, the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command is any one of the variation patterns “PA4-X”, “PA5-X”, “PB4-X”, and “PB5-X”. Even so, the button development effect pattern “BH4c-1” is determined.

According to FIG. 38B, the determination rate of the button development effect category “BH2-3” with respect to the determination rate of the button development effect pattern “BH2-1” is the variation pattern “PB4-X” or “
The case of “PB5-X” is higher than the case of the fluctuation pattern “PA4-X” or “PA5-X”. Further, according to FIG. 38C, the button development effect pattern “BH3a-1”
The determination ratio of the button development effect category “BH3a-2” with respect to the determined ratio of the variation pattern “PA4-X” or “PA5-X” when the variation pattern is “PB4-X” or “PB5-X”. Higher than if it is. The same applies to FIGS. 38D to 38F. That is, the expectation for jackpot is higher when the change is made at a later timing than when the change is made at an earlier timing.

Returning to FIG. After executing the process of step S553, the effect control CPU 120 determines an action effect such as a button (simply “action effect” in the figure) (step S554), and ends the button development effect determination process. In the process of step S554, specifically, the effect control C
The PU 120 changes the image such as a button at each of the timings 1 to 3 (“no change”,
Depending on "weak change", "medium change", "strong change")
An effect mode in the case of execution) is determined at a determination ratio as shown in FIG.

In the following description, as an action effect such as a button performed on the first display device 5, an effect in which a character appears (character appearance) is referred to as a “weak effect effect”, and an effect (cannon) in which artillery fires are performed. An effect with a lightning strike (lightning strike) may be referred to as a “strong action effect”.

For example, when the change mode of the image such as a button at a certain timing (timing 1 to 3) is “no change”, the effect control CPU 120 sets “no action effect” to 70% as shown in FIG. The “weak effect effect” is determined at a rate of 20%, the “medium effect effect” is determined at a rate of 10%, and the “strong effect effect” is determined at a rate of 0%. For example, ROM
121 stores an action effect determination table for buttons and the like when no change is made, which is referred to when “no change”. Numerical values to be compared with “No effect effect”, “Weak effect effect”, “Medium effect effect”, and “Strong effect effect” may be assigned at a ratio of 70: 20: 10: 0. .

Also, for example, when the change mode of the image such as a button at a certain timing (timing 1 to 3) is “weak change”, the effect control CPU 120, as shown in FIG.
“No effect effect” is determined at a rate of 20%, “Weak effect effect” is determined at a rate of 70%, “Medium effect effect” is determined at a rate of 8%, and “Strong effect effect” is 2%. Determine by percentage. For example, RO
M121 stores a button etc. action effect determination table at the time of a weak change, which is referred to in the case of “weak change”. In this table, a numerical value to be compared with a random value for determining the button action effect is stored. , 20: 7 for “no action effect”, “weak action effect”, “medium effect effect” and “strong action effect”
It suffices if it is assigned at a ratio of 0: 8: 2.

That is, in step S533, for example, the button development effect pattern “BH4b-1”
”Is determined, the timing 1 is“ weak change ”, the timing 2 is“ no change ”, and the timing 3 is“ medium change ”(see FIG. 35). However, in the process of step S554, for effect control CPU120 is about button etc. production effects with respect to "weak change" of the timing 1.
"No action effect" is determined at a rate of 20%, "Weak effect effect" is determined at a rate of 70%, "Medium effect effect" is determined at a rate of 8%, and "Strong effect effect" is 2% Determine the ratio of In addition, the effect control CPU 120 has an effect effect such as a button for “no change” at timing 2,
"No action effect" is determined at a rate of 70%, "Weak effect effect" is determined at a rate of 20%, "Medium effect effect" is determined at a rate of 10%, and "Strong effect effect" is 0% Determine the ratio of Further, the CPU 120 for effect control determines “no effect effect” at a rate of 5% and “weak effect effect” at a rate of 20% for an effect effect such as a button with respect to “medium change” at timing 3, The “medium effect effect” is determined at a rate of 55%, and the “strong effect effect” is determined at a rate of 20%. Also,
For example, when the button development effect pattern “BH1-1” is determined in step S533, the timings 1 to 3 are all “no change” (see FIG. 35), but step S5.
In the process of 54, the CPU 120 for effect control is “no change” for each of the timings 1 to 3.
For the action effect such as a button, “no action effect” is determined at a rate of 70%, “weak effect effect” is determined at a rate of 20%, and “medium effect effect” is determined at a rate of 10%. “Strong action effect” is determined at a rate of 0%.

According to FIG. 37 (C), when a button effect effect (weak effect effect, medium effect effect, strong effect effect) is executed, the button image is changed (weak change, medium change, Strong change). In addition, when a strong effect is executed, the image of the button etc. always changes (weak change,
When the medium action effect is executed, the image such as the button is more likely to change (weak change, medium change, strong change) than when the weak action effect is executed. In addition, when a strong effect effect is executed, it is easier to change than when a strong effect effect is not executed, and when a medium effect effect is executed, it is easier to change medium than when a medium effect effect is not executed. When the weak action effect is executed, it is easier to change weaker than when the weak action effect is not executed.

It should be noted that the effect control CPU 120 determines the content determined in the button development effect determination process (for example, the button development effect pattern, the effect mode of the button and other effect effects (“no effect effect”, “weak effect” at each of timings 1 to 3). (Such as information specifying different types of “effect”, “medium effect effect”, and “strong effect effect”) is stored in the RAM 122 or the like, and variable display start setting processing (step S) is performed.
In step S532 of 171), referring to the RAM 122 or the like, as described above, an effect control pattern corresponding to an effect mode or the like of the button development effect may be set as a use pattern.

FIG. 39A is an explanatory diagram for explaining various periods in the button development effect. FIG. 39 (
Before describing A), “T1” to “T14” shown in FIGS. 39 to 48 will be described. “T1” represents the start timing of the fluctuation. “T14” represents the end timing of the fluctuation. “T2” represents the timing of reaching. “T3” represents the timing of development to super reach. Super reach developed from “T3” ends in “T13”. That is, “T13” represents the timing at which the result of super reach (win / loss etc.) is displayed (notified).

“T4” represents the display start timing of an image such as a button. An image such as a button displayed from “T4” is erased to “T13”. That is, “T4” to “T13” are a display period of buttons and the like (a display period of images of buttons and the like).

“T6” represents “timing 1” in FIG. “T8” represents “timing 2” in FIG. “T10” represents “timing 3” in FIG. "T5
”Indicates a change in the image such as a button at timing 1 (T6) (no change, weak change, medium change,
This represents the timing of starting execution of the action effect such as a button corresponding to (strong change). The action effect such as a button started at “T5” ends at “T6”. That is, “T5” to “T6” are the execution period of the button effect effect corresponding to the change of the button image, etc. at the timing 1. “T7” represents the timing of starting execution of an effect such as a button corresponding to a change in an image such as a button at timing 2 (T8). The action effect such as a button started at “T7” ends at “T8”. In other words, “T7” to “T8” are the execution period of the button effect effect corresponding to the change of the button image, etc. at the timing 2. “T9” is timing 3
The timing for starting execution of the button effect production corresponding to the change of the image such as the button in (T10) is shown. The action effect such as a button started at “T9” ends at “T10”.
That is, “T9” to “T10” are the execution period of the button effect effect corresponding to the change of the button image, etc. at the timing 3. “T11” and “T12” will be described later.

As shown in FIG. 39 (A), a part of the button display periods (T4 to T13) (
T11 to T13) are buttons, etc. (push button 31B, stick controller 31A)
The valid period (period in which the operation is valid), and the other periods (T4 to T11) are non-valid periods (period in which the operation is not valid) of buttons and the like. That is, “T11” represents a timing at which an operation of a button or the like becomes valid. During the ineffective period (T4 to T11), a “regulatory line” is displayed as an image for notifying that the ineffective period is being overlaid on an image such as a button. Note that the “regulation line” is not displayed during the effective period (T11 to T13). In other words, “T1
“Regulation line” is deleted at “1”.

The period (T13 to T14) following the button display period (T4 to T13) is the result (win / loss etc.)
It is a period to display. More specifically, when there is no operation during the effective period (T11 to T13), when the effective period ends (T13), the image such as the button is deleted, and the period following the display period such as the button (T13 to T14) ) Displays the result. On the other hand, if there is an operation during the effective period, the image such as a button is deleted when the operation is performed, and the result is displayed from the time when the operation is performed. If there is an operation during the effective period, the effective period ends when there is an operation. An effect that displays an image such as a button during the effective period (T11 to T13) and displays a result (win or loss) after the image such as a button is deleted may be referred to as an “operation effect”.

FIG. 48C shows a scene (T10) in which a change or the like at timing 3 is performed. In the specific example 5, since it becomes a strong change at the timing 3, in FIG. 48C, the small button (white) D1 is changed to the stick D4 (change in three steps). Since it is the ineffective period (T4 to T11), in FIG. 48C, the restriction line K is displayed so as to be superimposed on the stick D4. In FIG. 48C, a lightning image KS2 and a hit impact image KS3 are also displayed. Note that, according to FIG. 37C, a change is always made in the strong action effect, but it does not change in the strong action effect (that is, a failure effect).
For example, there may be no lightning strike, or it may not hit even if there is a lightning strike.

48D to 48G are the same as FIGS. 45J to 45M, and thus description thereof is omitted.

In addition, as an operation during the effective period (T11 to T13), a continuous hit operation (described later) or a long press operation (
You may ask the player for the following. Further, during the effective period (T11 to T13), the auto button and the automatic continuous hitting function may be enabled.

The “auto button” is a function for executing a process on the assumption that a button or the like is operated although a button or the like (push button 31B or stick controller 31A) is not actually operated by the player. . “Auto continuous hit” means that a button is actually operated continuously by a player (for example, long push of the push button 31B, long pull of the stick controller 31A, etc.) However, it is detected that the button is continuously operated a plurality of times (for example, the continuous push of the push button 31B, the operation of pulling the stick controller 31A, etc.). It is a function to do.

Note that it may be possible to set whether or not to enable the auto button and automatic continuous hitting functions. For example, the effect control CPU 120 enables or disables the function of the auto button before executing the winning effect determining process (step S150) of the effect control process (FIG. 8). Auto button setting processing that can be set may be executed by displaying a setting screen on the display device 5. Note that the auto button setting process only needs to be executed regardless of the value of the effect process flag. For example, the auto button setting process may be executed after the winning effect determining process is executed in the effect control process. Alternatively, the auto button setting process may be executed before the effect control process is executed in the effect control main process. The same applies to the automatic repeated hit setting process for setting whether to enable or disable the automatic repeated hit function.

Although the button development effect of the present invention has been described above, changes and modifications can be arbitrarily made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

For example, in the above-described embodiment, the display start timing of an image such as a button ("location" in FIG.
Is after the development of the super reach (see FIG. 39A), the display start timing of the image such as the button may be before the development of the super reach or at the time of the development of the super reach. Further, in the above embodiment, the change timing of images such as buttons (“timing 1”, “timing 2”, “timing 3” in FIG. 35) was after the development of super reach (see FIG. 39A). The change timing of an image such as a button may be before the development of super reach or at the time of development of super reach.

In addition, the fluctuation pattern of super reach with pseudo continuous fluctuation ("PA4-2", "PA4-
3 "," PA5-2 "," PA5-3 "," PB4-2 "," PB4-3 "," PB5-
2 ”,“ PB5-3 ”) or a part of the variation pattern, temporary stop display or re-variable display may be performed after the super reach.

Further, a button development effect may be executed (display of an image such as a button) over a plurality of variable displays (or re-variable displays) in pseudo-continuous variation. As an example, the fluctuation pattern “PB4-2”
Is a variable display start → reach → first temporary stop display and re-variable display → development into super reach β → final stop display, the variation pattern “PB4-2”
”Button display image and change timing (“ location ”in FIG. 35,“ timing 1 ”
”,“ Timing 2 ”,“ Timing 3 ”) are, for example,“ initial ”before reach and“ timing 1 ”between reach and the first temporary stop display after the first temporary stop display The interval between the variable displays may be “timing 2”, and the time after the re-variable display may be “timing 3”. Accordingly, when the button development effect pattern “BH3a-1” is determined in the variation pattern “PB4-2”, variable display start → small button (white) is displayed (“initial”) → reach → large button (white) ) Change (timing 1) → first temporary stop display → no change (timing 2) → revariable display → change to large button (red) (timing 3) → final stop display. As another example, the fluctuation pattern “PB5-3” is variable display start → reach → first temporary stop display and revariable display → super reach β → second temporary stop display and revariable display → final stop In the case where the display progresses like the display, the display and change timing of the image such as the button in the variation pattern “PB5-3” is, for example, “initial” between reach and the first temporary stop display. The time between the temporary stop display and the re-variable display is “timing 1”, the time after the development of the super reach β to the second temporary stop display is “timing 2”, and the time after the second re-variable display is “timing” 3 ”. Therefore, when the button development effect pattern “BH3a-1” is determined in the variation pattern “PB5-3”, variable display start → reach → display small button (white) (“initial”) → first temporary Stop display → Change to large button (white) (
Timing 1) → Re-variable display → Super reach β → No change (Timing 2) → Second temporary stop display → Re-variable display → Change to large button (red) (Timing 3) → Final stop display proceed.

In the above embodiment, when variable display start of a certain variable display is performed, whether or not the button development effect is performed is determined based on the variation pattern of the variable display (FIGS. 36 and 37).
(See (A)), the execution / non-execution of the button development effect may be determined at another timing. For example, the presence or absence of execution of the button development effect may be determined based on the variation category or the like when there is a start prize. In addition, at other timings (for example, at the time of starting winning a prize, etc.), in addition to whether or not the button development effect is executed, the button development effect effect mode (button development effect pattern or the like) and the button effect effect effect mode are determined. Good.

When determining the presence / absence of execution of the button development effect, the effect mode of the button development effect (button development effect pattern, etc.) or the effect mode of the effect effect such as a button when there is a start prize, the button is displayed before the variable display related to the start prize. The button development effect may be started during the variable display related to the start prize without starting the development effect, or the button development effect may be started before the variable display related to the start prize.

In addition, when the button development effect is started before the variable display related to the start prize (when the button development effect is executed by so-called pre-reading), the button development effect is immediately started (images such as buttons are displayed) at the time of the start prize. Alternatively, the button development effect may be started at the start of the variable display corresponding to the winning before the start winning (when the hold display is shifted), or during the variable display corresponding to the winning before the starting winning ( The button development effect may be started before the reach or after the reach). It should be noted that the period from the start of the button development effect during the pre-reading period (at the start of display of the button display) to the predetermined variable display timing (for example, T13 in FIG. 39) is the button display period. is there.

Moreover, in the said embodiment, action effects, such as a button (weak effect effect, medium effect effect, strong effect effect)
Is suddenly executed without any warning (for example, the image JS1 is suddenly displayed as shown in FIG. 43 (H), the image TS1 is suddenly displayed as shown in FIG. 45 (H), and FIG. (E.g., the image KS1 is suddenly displayed), for example, a notice effect (for example, a movable accessory (first display device) 5
The upper part of the. (Not shown) is dropped to the position of the center of the display area of the first display device 5, the effect drop effect, the cut-in effect that cuts in the image, the countdown effect that counts down the number, etc.) are executed An action effect such as a button may be executed. Specifically, there is at least a case where an effect such as a button is executed by executing a notice effect, and a case where an effect such as a button is executed without executing the notice effect (notice effect). Is executed, but it may or may not be applied to the case where the action effect such as a button is not executed). It should be noted that the ratio of whether the image such as the button changes between the case where the effect such as the button is executed by executing the notice effect and the case where the effect such as the button is executed without executing the notice effect. Alternatively, the ratio of which button or other image is changed may be changed.

Further, in the above embodiment, the big hit expectation differs depending on the type of display such as buttons (“small button (white)”, “large button (white)”, “large button (red)”, “stick”)). (Fig. 37
(See (B)), the expectation level for the 16R probability variation big hit may differ depending on the type of display such as a button. Specifically, for example, the determination ratio of the button development effect category may be varied depending on the jackpot type (see FIG. 7). Further, when a normal big hit is provided in addition to the probable big hit as the big hit type, the degree of expectation for the probable big hit may differ depending on the type of display such as a button.

(1-1) As described above, the gaming machine 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention is a gaming machine capable of playing a game (
For example, a gaming machine 1, a slot machine, etc., which are objects (for example, the enemy robot CHA1 shown in FIG. 25B, FIG. 26B, and FIG. 27B) and shown in FIG. Display means (for example, the second display device 1000, display unit 1120, etc. shown in FIG. 3) capable of displaying the teammate robot CHA2, the teammate helicopter CHA3 shown in FIG. Possible detection means (for example, gyro sensor 1160, acceleration sensor, etc. shown in FIG. 3B) and specific effects related to the object (for example, FIGS. 25B and 26B)
) Image GA1 of missile, missile smoke, missile explosion (missile, etc.) shown in
(Effect by image GA2 such as missile shown in FIGS. 25 (B) and 26 (B), effect by image GA3 of image such as missile shown in FIGS. 27 (B) and 28 (B), etc.)
Specific presentation execution means (for example, the production control CPU 120), and the display means can change the visibility of the object according to the detection result of the detection means (for example, As shown in FIGS. 25 and 26, the appearances of the enemy robot CHA1 and the friend robot CHA2 are made different depending on the detection result of the head (face) movement, and FIGS.
As shown in Fig. 8, depending on the detection result of head movement, enemy robot CHA1 and ally helicopter CH
A3 can be seen in different ways, and the specific effect execution means is within the visual field from outside the player's visual field (for example, the left boundary line HL and the right boundary line HR shown in FIG. 25C). , The specific effect (for example, as shown in FIG. 25 (B), from the outside of the player's field of view) toward the range by the upper boundary line HU and the lower boundary line HD shown in FIG. It is possible to execute an effect by an effect such as an inward missile image GA2 or an effect by an image GA3 such as a missile directed from outside the player's field of view to the field of view as shown in FIG.

According to the above configuration, an object existing outside the player's field of view can be noted.

25 and 26 are examples in which the viewpoint is directed leftward outside the field of view, FIGS. 27 and 2.
8 is an example in which the viewpoint is directed upwards outside the field of view, but the specific effect may be executed so that the viewpoints are directed rightward or downwardly outside the field of view. For example, a specific effect in which a shell is flying into the field of view from an enemy tank that exists outside the field of view (e.g., an enemy tank at the foot position that cannot be seen without facing down attacks the robot CHA0) Or the like) may be executed.

In addition, in FIGS. 25 to 28, a specific effect related to an object existing outside the field of view is performed alone (for example, in FIG. 25, the missile GA by one ally robot CHA2 is used.
In FIG. 27, the effect of the missile GA3 by one ally helicopter CHA3 is performed), but a plurality of specific effects may be executed. For example, each of a plurality of allied aircraft that exist outside the field of view may perform an effect that makes a missile attack against one or more enemy robots within the field of view.

The specific effects related to each object may have different effects. For example, in a production in which each of a plurality of allied aircraft existing outside the field of view makes a missile attack against an enemy robot within the field of view, for each aircraft of the allied aircraft, an aspect such as a missile (the shape of a flying missile) , Color, smoke color, sound, etc.) may be different. It should be noted that by changing the type of ally machine (by changing the type of robot), the aspect of the missile may be changed, or without changing the type of ally machine (for example, with the same type of robot) However, it is also possible to vary the mode of missiles.

(1-2) Depending on the detection result of the detection means, the effect mode of the specific effect varies. For example,
As shown in FIG. 25 (A) and FIG. 26 (A), according to the detection result of the movement of the player's head (that is, depending on whether the player is facing the front or the left), the missile etc. The position or angle at which the effect by the image GA2 such as the effect by the image GA1 or the missile can be seen may be different. Further, as shown in FIGS. 27 (A) and 28 (A), according to the detection result of the player's head movement (that is, depending on whether the player is facing the front or the top), the missile The position or angle at which the effect by the image GA3 can be seen is different.

  According to the said structure, a production effect can be improved.

(1-3) As the specific effect, a specific image different from the object (for example, an image GA2 such as a missile different from the teammate robot CHA2 or an image GA3 such as a missile different from the teammate helicopter CHA3) is displayed, An effect of moving a specific image from the object toward the player's field of vision (for example, as shown in FIGS. 25B and 26B), an image GA2 such as a missile is displayed from the ally robot CHA2 within the player's field of view. And an effect of moving the image GA3 such as a missile from the ally helicopter CHA3 into the player's field of view as shown in FIG. 27 (B) and FIG. 28 (B). is there. That means
A specific image for directing the player's viewpoint in the direction of the object outside the field of view is displayed, and the viewpoint is directed in the direction of the object.

  According to the said structure, a production effect can be improved.

(1-4) While the specific effect is executed, a sound effect (for example, FIG. 25B, FIG. 26).
(B), a sound effect that outputs a sound as shown in FIG. 27 (B), and FIG. 28 (B) can be executed.

  According to the said structure, a player can be made to recognize that the specific production was performed.

(1-5) The production mode of the sound production can be changed according to the detection result of the detection means.
For example, as shown in FIG. 25 (A) and FIG. 26 (A), depending on the detection result of the player's head movement (that is, depending on whether the player is facing the front or the left), 25 (B), FIG.
The loudness and the content of the sound as shown in FIG. 6 (B) can be changed. Also, as shown in FIG. 27A and FIG. 28A, depending on the detection result of the player's head movement (that is, depending on whether the player is facing the front or the top), The loudness and the content of the sound as shown in FIG. 27 (B) and FIG. 28 (B) can be changed. Specifically, FIG. 25B, FIG. 26B, and FIG.
(B), as shown in FIG. 28 (B), depending on the distance from the sound source (position where each object exists, position where each event (missile launch, missile landing, etc.) occurs) and the direction of the sound source, The volume and content of the sound has changed.

  According to the said structure, a production effect can be improved.

(1-6) Display of the message ME1 for notifying that the effect by the effect by the image GA2 such as a missile has been executed as shown in FIG. 25 (B). As shown in FIG. 27B, display of a message ME2 for notifying that an effect by an image GA3 such as a missile has been executed can be executed. Note that the message ME1 and the message ME2 also indicate the direction in which a specific effect (effect by an image 3 such as a missile) is being performed.

  According to the above configuration, it is possible to focus attention on an object that exists outside the field of view.

Instead of or in addition to the effect of notifying that the specific effect has been executed, an effect of notifying that the object exists outside the player's field of view (for example, as shown in FIG. 28B) Display of message ME3 notifying that enemy robot CHA1 exists outside)
Can be executed. The message ME3 also indicates the direction in which the object (enemy robot CHA1) is present.

In addition, instead of or in addition to the notification by displaying the message ME1, the message ME2, the message ME3, etc., it may be notified that the specific effect has been executed by voice. Further, instead of or in addition to the notification by display or sound, it may be notified that the specific effect has been executed by vibration or the like.

Note that the missile GA2 in FIG. 25B and the missile GA3 in FIG. 27B fly from outside the field of view to the field of view, but there may be missiles flying from inside the field of view to outside the field of view. For example, in the scene of FIG. 25 (B), an ally robot CHA2 (out of the field of view) is launched with the enemy robot CHA1 as a target, and the missile GA2 landed in front of the enemy robot CHA1 (in the field of view) is displayed. The robot CHA1 (within the field of view) may display a missile (hereinafter referred to as missile A) that fires with the friendly robot CHA2 (out of the field of view) as a target and disappears in the direction of the teammate robot CHA2 (out of the field of view). In the scene of FIG. 25 (B), the enemy robot CHA
1 (within the field of view) launches the target robot CHA0 as a target, and the missile GA1 landed in front of the own robot CHA0 (within the field of view) is displayed, but the enemy robot CHA1 (within the field of view) targets the own robot CHA0. You may display the missile (henceforth the missile B) which launches and disappears behind the robot CHA0 (outside the field of view). Also, for example, in the scene of FIG. 27 (B), the ally helicopter CHA3 (out of the field of view) is launched with the enemy robot CHA1 as a target, and the missile GA3 landed in front of the enemy robot CHA1 (in the field of view) is displayed. The enemy robot CHA1 (within the field of view) may display a missile (hereinafter referred to as missile C) that fires with the ally helicopter CHA3 as a target and disappears above (outside the field of view) of the own robot CHA0.

Missile B was launched with its robot CHA0 as the target, so
Even if it disappears behind the own robot CHA0, it does not make the player aware that another object exists outside the field of view (behind the own robot CHA0). That is, it is recognized that the robot has disappeared from the field of view without hitting the robot CHA0.

Missile A, on the other hand, makes the player aware that other objects exist outside the field of view (the direction in which the missile A disappeared) because the trajectory is not targeted at the robot CHA0. is there. Similarly, the missile C is not intended for the robot CHA0 as a trajectory, so that the player is aware that other objects exist outside the field of view (the direction in which the missile C disappeared). It is.

That is, the specific effect (for example, missile GA2 in FIG. 25B) from outside the field of view to within the field of view.
By executing the missile GA3 in FIG. 27B, an object that is out of the field of view (for example, the friendly robot CHA2 that is the launcher of the missile GA2, the missile G)
It has been explained that it is possible to draw attention to the friendly helicopter CHA3 etc. that is the launcher of A3), but also by executing a specific effect (for example, the effect of missile A, missile C, etc.) from the inside of the field of view to the outside of the field of view The object existing outside the field of view (for example, the friendly robot CHA2 that is the target of the missile A, the friendly helicopter CHA3 that is the target of the missile C, etc.) can be noted. In other words, instead of or in addition to performing a specific performance from outside the player's field of view to focus on objects that exist outside the field of view, identification from within the player's field of view An effect may be executed.

(2-1) Further, the gaming machine 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention is a gaming machine capable of playing a game, and is an object (an avatar or the like as a player's alternation shown in FIGS. 29 to 33). Display means (for example, the second display device 1000 and the display unit 1120 shown in FIG. 3), and the object includes at least a first image (for example, an image of a head) and the first. Consists of a second image different from the image (for example, an image of the body. Specifically, an image other than the head, etc.)
For example, the avatar Aa shown in FIG. 29A is composed of a head Ab1 and a body Ab2, and the display means includes detection means (for example, FIG. 3B) that can detect the player's movement. Display mode of the first image based on the detection result of the gyro sensor 1160, the acceleration sensor, etc.
For example, the display mode (for example, the orientation) of the second image is changed in response to the change in the orientation. For example, the avatar Ab of the player b displayed in the VR video of the player a shown in FIG. 30 changes the orientation of the head Ab1 based on the detection result of the movement of the head (face) of the player b. The direction of the body Ab2 changes corresponding to (time T0 to time T2) (time T2 to time T3).
. Further, the avatar Aa of the player a displayed in the objective VR video of the player a shown in FIG. 33 is a change in the orientation of the head Aa1 based on the detection result of the head movement of the player a. (Time T
The direction of the body Aa2 changes corresponding to 0 to time T2) (time T2 to time T3).

  According to the said structure, the fall of a production effect can be prevented.

In the examples shown in FIG. 30, FIG. 32, FIG. 33, etc., the avatar's head is just beside (approximately 90 degrees).
The period until the head of the avatar is turned sideways without changing the body direction (for example, the period until time T2 in FIGS. 30 and 33) (for example, FIGS. 30 and 33). 33 during the period from time T2 to time T3). In other words, the mode of change is “rotate the head up to 90 degrees (the rotation of the head is completed)” in the first period →
“Rotate body up to 90 degrees (completed body rotation)”. However, the mode of change is not limited to this. That is, changing the display mode of the second image in response to the change in the display mode of the first image described above is not limited to the examples shown in FIGS. 30, 32, 33, and the like.

As an example, “rotate the head up to 45 degrees” in the first period → “rotate the body up to 45 degrees” in the second period that follows → “rotate the head up to 90 degrees in the third period that follows (head Complete rotation) ”→“ rotate the body up to 90 degrees (complete rotation of the body) ”in the following fourth period. That is, the rotation of the body may be started when the head is rotated to some extent (45 degrees in the above example) (second period). Further, the rotation of the head may be divided into a plurality of times (in the above example, twice) (first period, third period). Further, the body may be rotated a plurality of times (in the above example, twice) (second period, fourth period).

As another example, “rotate the head up to 45 degrees” in the first period → “rotate the head up to 90 degrees (rotation of the head completed) + rotate the body up to 45 degrees” in the second period that follows. → In the third period that follows,
“Rotate to 0 degree (complete rotation of body)”. That is, the body may be rotated when the head is rotating (second period). Or the period (2nd period, 3rd period) which overlaps with the period (1st period, 2nd period) in which the head is rotating, and the period (2nd period, 3rd period) in which the body is rotating Period).

The time during which the head is rotating (that is, the rotation speed of the head) and the time during which the body is rotating (the rotation speed of the body) do not necessarily have to coincide. For example, in the examples shown in FIG. 30, FIG. 32, FIG. 33, etc., “rotate the head up to 90 degrees (the rotation of the head is completed)” in the first period → "Rotation (body rotation completed)", the first period and the second period may be the same length, or the first period may be longer than the second period. The first period may be shorter than the second period.

Further, although related to the following (2-5), the gaming machine 1 (second display device 1000) may not necessarily include a detection unit. For example, a camera (detection means) for detecting a player's motion may be provided on the ceiling or the like, and the detection result of the player's motion detected by the camera may be supplied to the gaming machine 1.

(2-2) When the first image changes to a predetermined mode (for example, left-right direction), the second image
When the image is changed and the first image is changed in a specific manner (for example, the vertical direction), the second image is not changed. For example, the avatar Ab of the player b displayed in the VR video of the player a shown in FIG. 30 has the head Ab1 in the right direction (the right direction for the player a who is the viewer of the avatar Ab). The game Ab displayed in the VR video of the player a shown in FIG. 31 is changed to the right (time T0 to time T2), but the direction of the body Ab2 also changes to the right (time T2 to time T3). The avatar Ab of the person b does not change the orientation of the body Ab2 (time T2 to time T3) when the orientation of the head Ab1 changes upward (time T0 to time T2).
).

  According to the said structure, the fall of a production effect can be prevented.

(2-3) There are a plurality of types of objects. For example, there are a plurality of types as shown in FIG.

  According to the said structure, the interest of game production can be improved.

(2-4) The object is displayed in correspondence with another player. Specifically, the object is another player who can visually recognize the display by the display means (second display device 1000).
Is displayed in correspondence with other players wearing. For example, as shown in FIG. 29, the avatar Ab displayed in the VR video of the player a is displayed in correspondence with the other player b instead of the player a, and the VR video of the player b The avatar Aa displayed on is displayed in correspondence with the other player a instead of the player b.

  According to the said structure, the interest of game production can be improved.

(2-5) It further comprises detection means (for example, a gyro sensor 1160, an acceleration sensor, etc. shown in FIG. 3B) capable of detecting the player's movement, and information relating to the detection result of the detection means is provided to other gaming machines. Can be output. For example, as shown in FIG. 29, a plurality of gaming machines 1 are connected to be communicable, and information relating to the detection result (for example, detection information for detecting a player's action, or
The player's avatar movement information based on the detection information) is output to other gaming machines 1 (in addition, the gaming machines 1 may communicate directly with each other, or a plurality of gaming machines 1 may be You may communicate via the hall management computer).

  According to the said structure, the interest of game production can be improved.

(2-6) A device for visually recognizing an image (for example, FIG.
Display unit (for example, the display unit 1 shown in FIG. 3).
120), display control means for controlling the display of the display means (for example, the control unit 1110 shown in FIG. 3B), and photographing means capable of photographing the surroundings (for example, FIG. 3B). The display control means can display a video (for example, a through image) photographed by the photographing means while wearing on the display means (for example, FIG. 34B).
As shown in FIG. 4, the through image SG2 can be displayed in the area W2 during the display of the VR video.

  According to the said structure, the danger during wearing can be suppressed.

In addition, according to the above configuration, as shown in FIG. 34A, since the through image SG1 and the like can be displayed in the region W1 during display of the VR video, the state of the board surface of the gaming machine 1 is confirmed during wearing. be able to.

Note that the avatar Ab in FIG. 30, the avatar Ab in FIG. 32, the avatar Ad, and the avatar Aa in FIG. 33 change their bodies (changes in the same direction as the head) according to changes in the head (changes in the left-right direction).
However, in the avatars Ae and af of FIG. 33, the body and legs change (expand and contract) according to the change of the arm (for example, upward). That is, the first image may be an arm and the second image may be a trunk (or a leg).

In addition, the avatars shown in FIGS. 30 to 33 are of human type (although they look like humans), they are not necessarily human type. For example, it may be a cat type. It is sufficient that the first image and the second image corresponding to the type are determined so as to achieve natural movement.

(A-1) Further, the gaming machine 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention is a gaming machine capable of playing a game, and a video display means (for example, a video can be visually recognized when worn by a player) 3) and a detection means (for example, a gyro sensor 1160, an acceleration sensor, etc. shown in FIG. 3B) capable of detecting the player's movement. The video displayed on the video display means can change based on the detection result of the detection means (for example, the field of view changes according to the orientation of the player's head (face), the hand changes according to the actual hand movement) And a structure that can be touched by the player (for example, the stick controller 31A or the structure shown in FIG. 17) corresponding to the image displayed on the image display means. .

According to the above configuration, the structure corresponding to the image is present, and the reality is increased, so that the effect of production is improved.

(A-2) Further, the gaming machine 1 is a gaming machine capable of playing a game, and a video display means (for example, the first display shown in FIG. 2 display device 1000, display unit 1120, etc.) and detecting means (for example, FIG.
B) a gyro sensor 1160, an acceleration sensor, and the like shown in FIG.
For example, the video displayed on the video display means can be changed based on the detection result of the detection means (for example, the stick controller 31A or the structure shown in FIG. 17).
The field of view changes according to the orientation of the player's head (face), the image of the hand moves according to the actual hand movement, etc.), and the structure according to the image displayed on the image display means (For example, in the VR effect of the naval battle, as shown in FIG. 11C, the vibration mode of the stick controller 31A can be changed according to the state of the own device. In the production), the structure a corresponding to the VR image of the treasure discovery is smooth, while the structure b corresponding to the VR image of the dust discovery is rough, the feel of the structure appearing according to the image changes. Possible).

According to the above configuration, the structure corresponding to the image is present, and the reality is increased, so that the effect of production is improved.

(B-1) Further, the gaming machine 1 is a gaming machine capable of performing a game, and is capable of detecting a player's operation (for example, a push button 31B, a stick controller 31A, etc.) Specific display corresponding to detection means (for example, small button (white) D1, large button (white) D2, large button (red) D3, stick D4, small button (white) shown in FIGS. 35 and 42 to 48) D1U, large button (white) D2U, large button (red) D3U, stick D4U, etc.) specific display execution means (for example, button development effect processing (S529), variable display effect processing (S172), etc.) The specific display execution means includes, as the specific display, a first specific display (for example, a small button (white) D1) and the like, and an advantage (for example, a big hit expectation, 6R probability variation big hit (see FIG. 7) and a degree of expectation, expectation that the probability variation big hit when there is usually big hit and probability variation big hit) is higher second specific display (e.g.,
When the first specific display is the small button (white) D1, the second specific display is the large button (white) D2.
When the first specific display is a large button (white) D2, such as a large button (red) D3, stick D4, etc., the second specific display is a large button (red) D3, stick D4, etc., the first specific display is a large button (
In the case of red) D3, the second specific display can display a stick D4, etc.
After the specific display is displayed, the second specific display is displayed by executing an effect effect (for example, a weak effect effect, a medium effect effect, and a strong effect effect shown in FIG. 37C) that acts on the specific display. Displayable (for example, after displaying the small button (white) D1 as shown in FIG. 44C,
D) and image JS1 and image JS2 acting on the small button (white) D1 as shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 44E, a large button (white)
D2 can be displayed, or after the large button (white) D2 is displayed as shown in FIG.
As shown in (H) and FIG. 45 (I), the image TS1 and the image TS acting on the large button (white) D2.
2 and the intermediate action effect for displaying the image TS3 is executed, the stick D4 can be displayed as shown in FIG.

According to the above configuration, the production effect is improved. For example, the specific display changes depending on the action effect, so that the effect is easy to understand and the effect is improved.

(B-2) Further, the gaming machine 1 is a gaming machine capable of playing a game, and is capable of detecting a player's operation (for example, a push button 31B, a stick controller 31A, etc.) Specific display corresponding to detection means (for example, small button (white) D1, large button (white) D2, large button (red) D3, stick D4, small button (white) shown in FIGS. 35 and 42 to 48) D1U, large button (white) D2U, large button (red) D3U, stick D4U, etc.) specific display execution means (for example, button development effect processing (S529), variable display effect processing (S172), etc.) The specific display execution means includes, as the specific display, a first specific display (for example, a small button (white) D1) and the like, and an advantage (for example, a big hit expectation, 6R probability variation big hit (see FIG. 7) and a degree of expectation, expectation that the probability variation big hit when there is usually big hit and probability variation big hit) is higher second specific display (e.g.,
When the first specific display is the small button (white) D1, the second specific display is the large button (white) D2.
When the first specific display is a large button (white) D2, such as a large button (red) D3, stick D4, etc., the second specific display is a large button (red) D3, stick D4, etc., the first specific display is a large button (
Red) When D3 is set, the second specific display can display a stick D4, etc., and in the ineffective period of detection by the detecting means (for example, T4 to T11 shown in FIGS. 39 to 48), After displaying the first specific display, the first specific display is changed to the second specific display (
For example, after the small button (white) D1 is displayed as shown in FIG. 42 (C), the small button (white) D1 is changed to the large button (white) D2 as shown in FIG. 43 (G). The large button (white) D2 is changed to the large button (red) D3 as shown in FIG. 43 (I)), and the effective period of detection by the detecting means (for example, T11 to T13 shown in FIGS. 39 to 48, etc.) ) In the second specific display after the change (for example, a large button (red) D3 or a large button (red) D3U as shown in FIG. 43 (J) or FIG. 43 (K)). For example, an operation that prompts an operation as shown in FIG. 43K and informs the result as shown in FIG. 43L is executed.

According to the above configuration, the production effect is improved. For example, since the specific display is changed during the non-effective period, the change can be shown, and the production effect is improved.

In the above (B-1) and (B-2), the “detection means” is not limited to the push button 31B and the stick controller 31A, but is a structure (for example, a deformation) provided in the housing. Operations using any one of the structures of Examples 1 to 7 and other structures) (for example, operations, grips, touches, etc. according to the structures of Modifications 1 to 7) , A sensor that detects an operation of pushing the whole or a part of another structure backward or downward, an operation of pulling forward or upward, an operation of rotating or sliding, and the like. Further, it may be a sensor that detects the contact of the player's body (hand, etc.) on the glass surface or the like, or a sensor that detects the operation of the player's body (hand, face, etc.) that does not contact the gaming machine. Etc. In other words,
The “detecting means” may be a touch sensor, an infrared sensor, a camera, or the like. When the “detecting means” is a touch sensor that can detect a touch on the glass surface, for example, the “specific display” is an image reminiscent of a touch on the glass surface (for example, an image imitating a palm) ).

In addition to the above, changes and modifications can be arbitrarily made without departing from the spirit of the invention. For example, in the above description, when the button development effect is determined to be executed, the button development effect category is determined before the button development effect pattern is determined (see FIG. 36).
The button development effect pattern may be determined directly. That is, the concept of a button development effect category need not be used.

In addition, in the button development effect pattern shown in FIG. 35, “initial” is “first mode (small button (
White)) ”button development effect pattern, but“ initial ”is“ second mode (large button (white)) ”,“ third mode (large button (red)) ”and“ fourth mode (stick) ) ”May be provided.

In the above embodiment, the display start timing of the image such as a button is constant (T4). However, the display start timing of the image such as a button may have a plurality of timings. There may be a plurality of timings for each type of image such as a button.

Depending on the display start timing, the ratio of whether or not the image such as buttons will change (grow) later,
You may vary the ratio of how far it changes. For example, when the display start timing is late, the rate at which an image such as a button changes later is higher than when the display start timing is early, and the rate at which the image changes to a stick may be higher. Further, in an aspect in which there are a plurality of types of timing from the non-valid period to the valid period (described later), the ratio of the timing from the non-valid period to the valid period may be varied according to the display start timing. For example, when the display start timing is late, the rate at which the timing from the ineffective period to the valid period is later than the predetermined timing may be higher than when the display start timing is early. In addition, when there is an aspect in which the non-effective period does not become the effective period (described later), the ratio of whether or not the effective period is reached may be varied depending on the display start timing. For example, when the display start timing is late, the ratio of the effective period may be higher than when the display start timing is early. Moreover, in the aspect of executing the removal success effect (described later), the execution rate of the removal success effect may be varied according to the display start timing. For example, when the display start timing is late, the execution rate of the removal success effect may be higher than when it is early.

In addition, the button development effect pattern shown in FIG. 35 changes the image such as the button at the maximum two change timings among the three change timings (timing 1, timing 2, timing 3). ) May change the image such as a button at the change timing. That is, a button development effect pattern that is weakly changed at timing 1 (first → second), weakly changed at timing 2 (second → third), and weakly changed at timing 3 (third → fourth) is provided. Also good. Further, the change timing may not be three times, and may be once, twice, four times or more.

Moreover, you may make it provide the button development effect pattern which alert | reports determination of jackpot. As an example, a large-sized rainbow-colored button image (“large button (rainbow)”) simulating the push button 31B and a rainbow-colored stick controller image (“stick (rainbow)”) simulating the stick controller 31A are displayed as “ In addition to providing a button development effect pattern (sometimes referred to as a “big hit fixed button development effect pattern”) in which the “final” is the “fifth aspect”, a variation pattern of super reach (big hit) ( "PB4-X""PB5-X
)), The button development effect pattern for determining the big hit may be determined, but the button development effect pattern for determining the big hit is not determined for the variation pattern of super reach (losing) (“PA4-X”, “PA5-X”). You may do it.

The operation means (push button 31B, stick controller 31A, etc.) may emit at least a part (or the periphery), and the operation means may be changed according to the image of the button or the like. For example, when no image such as any button is displayed, the light emitting part of the push button 31B and the light emitting part of the stick controller 31A are turned off, and the small button (
When the white button is displayed, the light emitting part of the push button 31B is lit in white. When the large button (white) is displayed, the light emitting part of the push button 31B is blinking in white (or lit red). When the large button (red) is displayed, push button 31B
The light emitting section of the stick controller 31A may be lit in white (or blinked in white) when the stick is displayed. In addition, when blinking the light emitting unit of the operation means, an image such as a button may be blinked.

Further, in FIG. 35 and the like, an image such as a button corresponds to one of the two operation means (one operation means is valid). Specifically, small button (white), large button (white)
The large button (red) corresponds to the push button 31B, and the stick corresponds to the stick controller 31A. Instead, an image such as a button corresponding to both of the two operation means may be displayed. As an example, in any case of the small button (white), the large button (white), the large button (red), and the stick, the push button 31B is also the stick controller 3.
1A may be effective. Since the effect is such that the operation means changes in the middle, by enabling both, it is possible to prevent a result (such as winning or losing) from being displayed even though the operation is performed. As another example, the push button 31B has a stick controller 31A.
May also display a corresponding logo mark (for example, a logo mark related to the content used to produce the gaming machine 1, a logo mark related to the brand name of the gaming machine 1, etc.). That is, when the logo mark is displayed during the effective period, the result is displayed regardless of whether the push button 31B is operated or the stick controller 31A is operated.

Also, according to FIG. 37 (C), when “strong action effect” is executed, mainly “strong change”.
However, there are cases where it becomes “medium change” or “weak change” below the expectation. Expected “strong change” when “medium change” or “weak change” occurs due to execution of “strong action production”
On the other hand, this is a so-called downfall and the player may be discouraged. Accordingly, the “strong action effect” may not be determined when “weak change” or “medium change”. Thereby, when the “strong action effect” is executed, the “strong change” is confirmed and the player is not discouraged. Further, when the button image or the like changes after the execution of the “medium effect effect”, it is expected that the “medium change” mainly, but there may be a “weak change” less than expected. Accordingly, the “medium effect effect” may not be determined when the “weak change” is set. As a result, when the button image or the like changes after the “medium effect effect” is executed, “medium change” or more is confirmed and the player is not discouraged. If it is “no change”, “strong effect production”
Is not determined, but when “no change”, in addition to “strong action effect”, “medium effect effect” may not be determined.

In addition, the change of the image such as a button is classified according to the degree of change (number of stages) (“weak effect effect” for changing one step, “medium effect effect” for changing in two steps, and “strong effect effect” for changing in three steps. Etc.) and control (manage), etc., but it is divided into what changes the image such as buttons, etc. (for example, the second action effect that changes from the first mode to the second mode, the first mode or the second mode) The third action effect may be controlled by changing the mode to the third mode, the first mode, the second mode, or the fourth mode of action changing from the third mode to the fourth mode.

In the above embodiment, the super reach is a so-called battle effect in which an ally character and an enemy character confront each other. However, the super reach is not limited to the battle effect. For example, it may be a story-type production in which the story is completed successfully when it is a big hit (when the game is lost, the story is not completed successfully). When the button development effect is executed in the story-type super reach, for example, depending on the operation during the effective period (as the operation effect), the result of the story instead of the result of the battle effect (win / loss etc.) It only needs to be informed (whether or not the story is successfully completed).

When the ineffective period is changed to the effective period, an effect (hereinafter referred to as “removal effect”) for removing an image (for example, the restriction line K shown in FIGS. 42 to 48) for notifying that the ineffective period is in effect. "
Called. Further, it may be referred to as “removal success effect” in distinction from “removal failure effect” described later). For example, the large button (white) between FIG. 47 (C) and FIG. 47 (D)
An effect in which the restriction line K superimposed on D2 is removed (for example, an effect in which a character (a policeman or the like) collects the restriction line K, an effect in which the restriction line K is sucked into a vacuum cleaner, an effect in which the restriction line K is burned off by a flame, A large button (white) D2 itself may be shaken or the like to produce an effect such that the regulation line K is removed).

In addition, a removal failure effect (an effect in which at least a part of the effect aspect is common with the removal success effect and an image for notifying that the ineffective period is not removed) may be executed.
When the removal failure effect is executed, the super reach may be terminated without the effective period. That is, for example, when the removal success effect is executed in FIG. 47, FIG. 47 (C) → removal success effect → FIG. 47 (D) → FIG. 47 (E) → FIG. 47 (F) → FIG. )
On the other hand, when the removal failure effect is executed in FIG. 47, the transition may be made from FIG. 47 (C) → removal failure effect → FIG. 47 (F) → FIG. 47 (G).

In addition, there are multiple types of timing from the ineffective period to the effective period. When the effective period from the ineffective period is late, the images such as buttons are sufficient because the ineffective period is longer than when it is early. It may be changed (growth). In addition to the case where the removal success effect is executed without being executed once, the case where the removal success effect is executed after the removal failure effect is executed one or more times, The removal success effect may not be executed after being executed once or more. As a result, when the image of the button or the like is not sufficiently grown, the player does not execute the removal success effect because it is premature as the validity period has arrived (for example, the effect of attempting to remove the restriction line K is started). In the event that the control line K is finally removed, that is, it is desired that the removal failure effect is executed instead of the removal success effect), but the effective period when the image such as the button is sufficiently grown The removal success effect is executed as an effect (for example, when the effect to remove the restriction line K is started, the restriction line K is finally removed, that is, the removal failure effect is not performed). That the removal success production is being executed). In other words, it can be noted whether an effect according to the situation is executed.

Note that the image for notifying that it is during the ineffective period may be another image instead of the restriction line image. For example, an image of a chain and a key hung on an image such as a button, an image of a translucent case that accommodates an image such as a button, or ice that is displayed on an image such as a frozen button It may be.

Depending on the type of image for notifying that it is in an ineffective period, the ratio of whether or not an image such as a button will change (grow) later, and the ratio of how much the image may change may be varied. For example,
In the case of “chain and key”, the rate of change of the image such as a button later may be higher than in the case of “regulation line”, and the rate of change to the stick may be higher. Further, in an aspect in which there are a plurality of types of timing from the non-valid period to the valid period, the ratio of the timing from the non-valid period to the valid period varies depending on the type of image for informing that the period is not valid. It may be allowed. For example, in the case of “chain and key”, the rate at which the timing from the ineffective period to the effective period is later than the predetermined timing may be higher than in the case of “regulation line”. Also,
In the case where there is an aspect in which the non-effective period does not become the effective period, the ratio of whether or not the effective period is reached may be varied depending on the image for informing that the non-effective period is in effect. For example, in the case of “chain and key”, the ratio of the effective period may be set higher than in the case of “regulation line”. Moreover, in the aspect which performs a removal success production | presentation, according to the image for alert | reporting that it is in an ineffective period, you may vary the execution ratio of a removal success production | presentation. For example, in the case of "chain and key"
The execution ratio of the removal success effect may be higher than in the case of “regulation line”.

Further, the image for notifying that the period is not valid may be changed (grown). For example, when the small button (white) is selected, the “regulation line” is selected. When the large button (white) is selected, the “chain and key” is changed. When the large button (red) is selected, the “translucent case” is selected. The image for notifying that the ineffective period is in effect may be changed at the same timing as the change timing of the image such as a button, such as changing to “ice” when the stick is formed. . Also, for example, when it is a large button (white), it is changed from “regulation line” to “chain and key”, and when it is a stick, it is changed from “chain and key” to “semi-transparent case” and “ice”. The image for notifying that the ineffective period is in effect may be changed at a timing different from the image change timing, such as a button.

In the aspect in which the image for notifying that the ineffective period is being used is changed, the image for notifying that the ineffective period is being used may be changed depending on the effect. The effect of changing the image for notifying that it is in the ineffective period may be the same (common) as the effect of changing the image such as a button. In addition, when a common action effect is executed, when the image for informing that the image such as the button is also in the ineffective period also changes, and informing that the image such as the button is also in the ineffective period. For example, there may be a case where the image for both does not change and a case where one of the images changes. Further, the effect of changing the image for notifying that the period is ineffective may be different from the effect of changing the image such as a button. That is, apart from the action effect that changes the image such as a button, a dedicated action effect that changes the image for notifying that it is in the ineffective period may be provided.

In addition, the image for notifying that the period is ineffective is changed (
(Growth) and an image for notifying that the period is not valid may be removed. In other words, by performing an action effect that changes an image for notifying that it is in the ineffective period, it is informing that the ineffective period is in effect, as in the case where the removal effect is executed. There may be a case where an image to be deleted is removed. That is, when a certain effect (effect having both the effect of action effect and the effect of removal effect) is executed, an image such as a button may or may not change, and a notification is made that it is in an ineffective period. There may be times when the image is changed, when it is removed, and when nothing happens. It may be removed after the change (for example, after the change from “translucent case” to “ice”, the “ice” after the change is removed). Note that the image for informing that it is in the ineffective period has been described as being removed or not removed. However, the removal has steps, and may be removed step by step. In other words, when an effect (effect having both effects and removal effects) or removal effect is executed, the “ice” is broken a little, and again, an effect (effect having both effects and removal effects) or removal. When the effect is executed, the “ice” may be completely broken and removed. In addition, when the image for informing that it is in the ineffective period is in the middle of removal, it may not be changed, may be changed, and may return to the original state after the change, The state in the middle may be maintained after the change. For example, if the “translucent case” is slightly cracked, it may not be changed to “ice”, it may be changed to “ice” that is not cracked, or “ice” that is slightly cracked. It may change.

The VR effect and the button development effect may be executed simultaneously. For example, according to FIG. 10, when the variation pattern is “PA6-1” or the variation pattern “PB6-1”, the VR effect may be executed, and according to FIG. 37, the variation pattern “PA4-X” or Fluctuation pattern “PA5
-X "or the variation pattern" PB4-X "or the variation pattern" PB5-X ", the button development effect may be executed, but the variation pattern" PA6-1 "or the variation pattern"
The button development effect may be executed even when “PB6-1”.
As an example, the button development effect production time and the VR production execution time may not overlap at all. For example, the VR effect may be started after the end of the button development effect (without notifying when it is finished), or after the end of the VR effect (without notifying the result of the success or failure at the end). The button development effect may be started.

As another example, at least a part of the effect time of the button development effect and the execution time of the VR effect may overlap. It should be noted that, for example, the push button 31B and the stick controller 31A are used so that the operation in the VR effect and the button in the button development effect do not overlap.
The button development effect may be executed in a VR effect that does not use the button (for example, the VR effect of the first to seventh modifications). Further, the VR effect may be executed during the ineffective period of the button development effect. Further, the button development effect may be executed as a VR effect. For example, when a button image simulating a button displayed as a VR video is enlarged, an actual button (corresponding to a structure) is enlarged, or a button image displayed as a VR video is a stick simulating a stick controller 31A. When the controller image is changed, the stick controller 31 </ b> A stored in the housing may jump out.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the apparatus configuration, data configuration, processing shown in the flowchart, image display operation, and the like can be arbitrarily changed and modified without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

For example, in the above embodiment, the “ratio” is A: B = 70%: 30% or A: B: C =
The relationship is not limited to 70%: 20%: 10, but FIG. 37 (B) and FIG. 38 (A).
As shown in the above, A: B = 100%: 0% or A: B: C = 70%: 30%: 0 (ie, there is an allocation of 100% or 0%) )).

In the above embodiment, a mode in which a plurality of types of special symbols such as numbers indicating “0” to “8” and symbols indicating “−” are variably displayed and a display result is derived and displayed has been described. Is
It is not limited to such an embodiment. For example, the special symbol to be variably displayed may be different from the special symbol derived and displayed as the variable display result. In other words, special symbols that are not included in the fluctuating multiple types of special symbols may be derived and displayed as variable display results, and among the fluctuating multiple types of special symbols, those that are not specially derived and displayed as variable display results May be included. In addition, it is not always necessary to variably display a plurality of types of special symbols, and a mode in which variable display is executed using only one type of special symbols may be used. As variable display using one type of special symbol, for example, the one type of special symbol may be blinked (turning on / off alternately may be repeated). That is, the repeated display of lighting and extinguishing may be variable display. And even in this case, the one type of special symbol may be derived and displayed last (lit), or a symbol different from the one type of symbol may be derived and displayed last. It may be. The same applies to variable display of other symbols (for example, normal symbols, decorative symbols, etc.).

Moreover, in the said embodiment, although it is made to control to a big hit game state based on having displayed the big hit symbol in the 1st special symbol display apparatus 4A and the 2nd special symbol display apparatus 4B, it controls to a big hit game state The mode to perform is not limited to this. For example, a specific area is provided in the vicinity of the second start prize opening or in the second start prize opening, and the game state is controlled to the big hit gaming state based on the entry (passing) of the game ball into the specific area. You may stay.

In the above embodiment, in order to notify the effect control board 12 of the change pattern indicating the change mode such as the change time, the type of reach effect, the presence / absence of the pseudo-ream, etc., one change pattern designation command is used when the change is started. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the change pattern may be notified to the effect control board 12 by two or more commands. Specifically, in the case of notifying by two commands, the game control microcomputer 560 uses the first command to indicate whether there is a pseudo-ream, a slip effect, etc. before reaching (so-called if not reach). A command indicating the variation time and variation mode before the second stop) is transmitted, and the second command has reached the reach such as the type of reach and presence / absence of re-lottery effect (if the reach is not reach, so-called first) You may make it transmit the command which shows the fluctuation | variation time and fluctuation | variation aspect (after 2 stop). In this case, the effect control in the variable display may be performed on the effect control board 12 side based on the variation time derived from the combination of the two commands. The game control microcomputer 560 notifies the change time by each of the two commands, and the effect control board 12 selects the specific change mode executed at each timing. Also good. When sending two commands, two commands may be sent within the same timer interrupt. After sending the first command, a certain period of time has passed (for example, the next timer interrupt). The second command may be transmitted. Note that the variation mode indicated by each command is not limited to this example, and the order of transmission can be appropriately changed. In this way, by notifying the variation pattern by two or more commands, the amount of data that must be stored as the variation pattern designation command can be reduced.

In the above embodiment, the main board 11 stores a random value determination table (display result determination table, jackpot type determination table, and variation category determination table) and is extracted from the main board 11 at the time of starting winning. Based on the random number values (MR1 to MR3), the main board 11
Refers to the random number determination table, executes random number determination processing (determination of whether or not it is a big hit, determination of variation category, and determination of the type of jackpot if it is a big hit), and effects control Although the board | substrate 12 showed the example which receives the determination result determined in the main board | substrate 11, and performs a pre-reading notice effect based on the received determination result, the execution aspect of a pre-reading notice effect is not limited to this. For example, the above-mentioned random number determination table is stored in the effect control board 12, and the random value itself is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 (for example, an effect control command that can specify the random value from the main board 11). The effect control board 12 receives the random value itself extracted in the main board 11, and refers to the random value determination table based on the received random value. The pre-reading notice effect may be executed based on the determination result of the determination process. That is, the random number determination process may be performed on the effect control board 12. In addition, the random number determination process is performed on the main board 11 and the effect control board 1.
2 may be performed. For example, the effect control board 12 may receive a part of the random number values and execute the random number determination process, and may receive the determination result determined in the main board 11. Specifically, for example, the presentation control board 12 receives the random number values (MR1 and MR2), determines whether or not to win the jackpot, and if it is a jackpot, determines the type of jackpot and also determines the random value. You may make it receive the determination result of the fluctuation | variation category determined with the main board | substrate 11 based on (MR3). That is, the effect control board 12 can execute the pre-reading notice effect based on the determination result determined by itself and the determination result determined by the main board 11.

In addition, the random numbers may not be synchronized by changing the update timing of the random numbers or changing the update range of the random numbers.

In addition, for example, to a gaming machine that gives a game score for use in a game by using a frequency that is a game value of a size specified by recorded information on a game recording medium such as a prepaid card or a membership card. The present invention can be applied. In addition, the present invention can be applied to a gaming machine in which a player plays a game by driving a game ball enclosed in the gaming machine into the gaming area.

In the above description, it has been described that the ROM 101 stores data constituting a plurality of determination tables prepared for the CPU 103 to perform various determinations, determinations, and settings. It does not necessarily have to be stored in a table format (for example, including structures, arrays, etc.). That is, a determination value (decision value) to be compared with the extracted random number value is set as R
The data may be stored collectively in the OM 101, but may be stored in a distributed (scattered) manner at a plurality of locations in the ROM 101. Alternatively, a mathematical expression or a program that outputs a result (for example, a big hit or a loss in the example of FIG. 6) when the extracted random number value is input may be stored in the ROM 101. The same applies to the determination table stored in the ROM 121.
