1) Basic Configuration of Game Machine Hereinafter, one embodiment of a game machine 1 according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. First, the entire configuration of the gaming machine 1 will be briefly described with reference to FIG.

  The gaming machine 1 comprises a gaming board 90. The game board 90 is formed of substantially square plywood, and the guide rails 903 forming a passage for guiding the game balls fired by the operation of the launch device 908 (launch handle) to the game area 902 have a substantially arc shape. It is provided as.

  In the game area 902, a display device 10, a start winning hole 904, a big winning hole 906, an out port, and the like are provided. The display area 11 of the display device 10 is an area viewed through an opening formed in the game board 90. Further, in the game area 902, a plurality of game nails are provided as obstacles that change the flow-down mode of the game balls by collision of the game balls flowing down. The game balls flowing down the game area 902 change in various manners according to the conditions at the time of collision with the game nail.

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

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

  The jackpot lottery is executed by the acceptance determination means provided on the control board (not shown), triggered by the game ball winning to the start winning opening 904 (a plurality of such start winning openings may be provided). Specifically, a numerical value (appropriate determination information) is acquired from a random number source triggered by the game ball's winning on the start winning opening 904, and if the numerical value is the same as a predetermined jackpot value, it is a big hit If they are different, they will be lost. In the present embodiment, notification of the success or failure determination result is started in the order of obtaining the numerical value (so-called fluctuation is started), but there is presence or absence of notification on the success or failure determination result not yet completed. In this case, the newly acquired success / failure determination information is stored as storage information in storage means provided on a control board (not shown). The fact that the storage information is stored in the storage means is displayed as a storage image (storage design) 80 (see FIG. 2).

  In the present embodiment, notification effect of notifying the result of the determination of acceptance as the reserve image 80 is started (variation of the identification symbol 70 (the identification symbol group 70g indicating the result of determination of the determination is started), but the determination of success or failure Notification of the result is not complete (the fluctuation of the identification symbol 70 (the identification symbol group 70g is not stopped in the mode showing the result of the judgment)) the fluctuation pending image 81 (so-called "the fluctuation suspension") The pre-variation hold image 82 corresponding to the image shown) and the notification effect for notifying the result of the determination of the success or failure is not started (the variation of the identification symbol 70 (the identification symbol group 70g) indicating the result of the determination of acceptance is not started) Is displayed (see FIG. 2). The maximum storage number of the hold information corresponding to the pre-variation hold image 82 has an upper limit. In the present embodiment, the maximum storage number of the hold information (the pass / fail judgment information) obtained by winning in the start winning opening 904 (so-called “special figure 1”) is four.

  In the present embodiment, similarly to a known gaming machine, the player is notified of the result of the determination of the success or failure by the combination of the identification symbols 70 (see FIG. 2) displayed in the display area 11 of the display device 10. Specifically, identification symbol group 70g (70 gL for left identification symbol group, 70 gC for middle identification symbol group, 70 gR for right identification symbol group) including plural types of identification symbols 70 starts to change, and finally each identification symbol group 70 g One of the identification symbols 70 is selected and stopped. When the jackpot is won, the combination of the identification symbols 70 selected and stopped from each identification symbol group 70g is a predetermined combination (for example, three sets of the same identification symbols 70). In the case of an out of place, it is a combination other than that (other than the combination that makes a big hit). In each of the drawings, only "numbers (characters)" constituting the identification symbol 70 are illustrated, but it is possible to set a symbol in which the number, a character and the like are combined as the identification symbol 70.

2) Basic Aspects of Image Displacement Effects Various effects are executed as notification effects (effects from the start of fluctuation of the identification symbol 70 to the stop by the combination indicating the result of the determination of the judgment) for notifying the result of the determination of the image. In the present embodiment, it is possible to execute an image displacement effect (see FIG. 3) as a type of the effect. That is, the image displacement effect may occur as part of a series of effects for notifying of the result of the determination of the object. The image displacement effect is also generally referred to as "shake effect" or the like. Hereinafter, the image displacement effect will be described in detail. In the following description, the term "image" (the reference image 20 etc.) includes both a still image and a moving image unless otherwise specified.

  The basic aspect of the image displacement effect is as if the reference image 20 deviates with respect to the display area 11 from the reference state (see FIG. 3A) in which the reference image 20 is displayed in the display area 11 of the display device 10 It changes to the displacement state (refer FIG.3 (b)) displayed on (b). The reference image 20 is an image displayed on the display area 11 in the reference state. In the present embodiment, an image displayed in the entire display area 11 in the reference state is set as the reference image 20. However, only a part of the image displayed in the display area 11 in the reference state may be displaced as the reference image 20. The reference image 20 may be either a still image or a moving image, but the contents of the image represented by the reference image 20 from the reference state to the displacement state are maintained in a manner that can be identified by the player. By doing this, the player receives an impression as if the image displayed in the reference state is shifted with respect to the display area 11.

  Various displacement modes of the entire reference image 20 with respect to the display area 11 can be considered. In the present embodiment, a display (three-dimensionally displaced) as if the reference image 20 was displaced as if it were inclined with respect to a planar direction (refers to a direction along the display area 11 of the display device 10; the same applies hereinafter) A display like a kanji is made. More specifically, in the present embodiment, the display is as if the reference image 20 was turned so that the left edge of the reference image 20 is on the back side and the right edge of the reference image 20 is on the front side. Is done. However, such a displacement mode is merely an example. A display may be made as if the reference image 20 was displaced along the planar direction (in any of the upper, lower, left, and right directions) (a display as if it were two-dimensionally displaced), or the reference image may be displayed. A display may be made as if 20 were displaced backwards. In addition, it may be set as an aspect (for example, an aspect in which the reference image 20 shakes) as if the displacement amount of the reference image 20 changes with the passage of time. Alternatively, the contour shape of the reference image 20 may be changed (for example, the contour of the reference image 20 may be distorted). Also, the aspect may be such that a part of the reference image 20 is located outside the display area 11 (a part of which can be seen). Alternatively, the reference image 20 may be divided into a plurality of parts, and each part may be displayed as if it were displaced with respect to the display area 11.

  Further, in the displacement state of the image displacement effect, a frame image 20K along the outer edge of the reference image 20 is displayed (see FIG. 3B). The frame image 20K indicates that the frame image corresponds to the outer edge of the display area 11 in the reference state. In the present embodiment, the frame image 20K is not displayed in the reference state. That is, since the image displacement effect is an effect that is displayed as if the reference image 20 is displaced with respect to the display area 11, the frame image 20K is displayed in a displaced state in order to express the displacement. The player receives an impression as if the outer edge of the display area 11 in the reference state has shifted to a position displayed as the frame image 20K in the displaced state. Since the display area 11 generally exhibits a substantially square shape, the frame image 20K in the displaced state is three-dimensional if the image displacement effect is such that the reference image 20 is three-dimensionally displaced as in the present embodiment. It is considered as an aspect (generally parallelogram shape in plan view) that appears to have a square shape in a realistic expression. In the present embodiment, from the reference state to the displacement state, the frame image 20K changes its shape so as to gradually move away from the outer edge of the display area 11, and finally comes to an aspect as illustrated. The frame image 20K may not be displayed at all.

  The reference image 20 in the present embodiment includes the identification symbol 70 (see FIG. 3B). Specifically, the reference image 20 includes at least an identification symbol 70 and a background image displayed as the background. If the image layer for displaying the identification pattern 70 and the image layer for displaying the background image are different layers, and the former layer is set in front of the latter layer, the background image is the background of the identification symbol 70 The displayed aspect can be constructed. However, the reference image 20 may not include the identification symbol 70. For example, if the reference image 20 is set so as to include the background image but not the identification pattern 70, the image displayed in the reference state is displayed as if the identification pattern 70 is difficult to see when the image displacement effect occurs. It is possible to give the player an impression as if the region 11 was shifted. Further, in the present embodiment, since the fact that the reference image 20 is shifted with respect to the display area 11 is realistically expressed, the continuity of the fluctuation of the identification symbol 70 (the identification symbol group 70g) is maintained even in the displacement state ( Although the fluctuation is set to continue), the fluctuation of the identification symbol 70 may be temporarily stopped (simulated stop) in the displacement state.

  Note that the reference image 20 in the present embodiment does not include the holding image 80. That is, the position at which the holding image 80 is displayed does not change even in the displacement state. However, this does not necessarily mean that the reference image 20 includes the hold image 80.

3) Effects relating to the image displacement effect Hereinafter, various effects relating to the image displacement effect will be described. Note that it is not necessary to be able to execute all of the effects described below. Only a part may be feasible.

3-1) Vibration Reproduction During Image Displacement Effect The gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment includes the vibration device 60 (see FIG. 1) that generates a vibration that can be felt by the player playing the game. The vibrating device 60 per se is known and thus the detailed description is omitted. In the present embodiment, the operation unit operable by the player vibrates as the vibration device 60, and the vibration of the operation unit is transmitted to the player touching the launch device 908 (launch handle) through the housing. It is configured as follows. The operation unit in the present embodiment is a member provided on the lower left side of the gaming machine 1 and displaceable in the front-rear direction. The vibration of the push button 61 may be transmitted to the player. Also, a member different from the member operable by the player may be used as the vibration source. For example, a speaker (woofer) may be used as a vibration source. When the vibration device 60 is driven, not only the vibration but also a sound (audible sound) by the vibration is generated, so that the player can grasp that the vibration device 60 vibrates without touching the launch device 908. It is possible.

  In the present embodiment, when an image displacement effect occurs, that is, when a change from a reference state to a displacement state occurs, vibration is generated by the vibration device 60 (see FIG. 4). The image displacement effect is an effect that makes the reference image 20 appear as if it were shifted with respect to the display area 11, but by causing vibration when the image displacement effect occurs, it is as if the reference image 20 was shifted by vibration. An impression can be given to the player. In other words, since the image displacement effect can be made to look more realistic, the taste of the game is improved.

  Hereinafter, a specific example in which the matters relating to vibration rendition during image displacement rendition are improved, embodied, deformed, etc. will be described. In addition, as much as possible, a configuration may be adopted in which a plurality of techniques described using the following specific examples are combined and applied.

○ 1st specific example Although the above-mentioned embodiment explained that vibration rendition was generated when image displacement rendition was generated, when image rendition rendition was generated, vibration rendition may or may not occur. It may be set as well. That is, even when the image displacement effect occurs, the setting is not limited to the generation of the vibration effect.

  As an example, it is conceivable to set such that whether or not vibration rendition is generated is determined according to a scene where the image displacement rendition is generated. For example, it is assumed that it is possible to execute reach presentation in which it is indicated whether or not the result of the pass / fail judgment is a big hit, according to the mode of the end. Although vibration effects are generated for at least a part of the image displacement effects generated during the reach effect, vibration effects are not generated for the other image displacement effects. The reach effect is an effect that is expected to be a big hit, and is an effect that the player pays attention to, so by generating a vibration effect during the reach effect, the sense of expectation that the reach effect has Improve. In addition, when “battle effect” which is a big hit when the ally character and the enemy character fight and the ally character wins is known as one aspect of the reach effect, the image displacement effect during the battle effect is By making the vibration effect occur (for example, the image displacement effect and the vibration effect occur at the time of attack of the ally character) (see FIG. 5), the battle effect can be made more realistic. It is possible.

○ 2nd specific example When there is no vibration effect (no vibration) (see Fig. 6 (a)) during certain image displacement effects (see Fig. 6) and vibration effects occur during the same type of image displacement effects In the case (with vibration) (see FIG. 6 (b)), the probability that an event advantageous to the player occurs thereafter is different. That is, the image displacement effect itself is of the same type (the effect may not be completely the same. The effect may be different within a range where the player feels the same. For example, so-called "chance up" Although the difference of the mode for showing may be set), the probability that the event advantageous to the player will occur is different depending on whether the vibration occurs at that time.

  As an event that is advantageous to the player, it can be exemplified that "the result of the judgment of winning is a big hit". With such a setting, the image displacement effect with vibration has a configuration in which the so-called jackpot reliability is higher than that of the image displacement effect without vibration. That is, in the case where vibration is generated in the image displacement effect and the displacement of the reference image 20 is emphasized, the easy-to-understand game characteristic that the jackpot reliability is higher than when the vibration is not generated. It is possible to realize.

  As another example of the event advantageous to the player, mention may be made of the provision of a presentation benefit. For example, there is an event that new music selectable by the player is increased, that is, a new image is provided through a so-called mobile interlocking service.

Third Specific Example As a certain image displacement effect, it is assumed that a normal mode (see FIG. 7A) and a special mode (see FIG. 7B) different from the normal mode occur. The special aspect is shown as if the reference image 20 is displaced more with respect to the display area 11 than in the normal aspect. As in the above embodiment, if the image displacement effect is produced as if the reference image 20 is displaced three-dimensionally, the magnitude of distortion of the reference image 20 which is substantially parallelogram in plan view is usually It can be considered that the difference in magnitude of displacement between the normal mode and the special mode is represented by making the special mode larger than the mode (different the shape of the parallelogram).

  On the premise of this, although the vibration by the vibration device 60 is not generated when the image displacement effect is in the normal mode, the vibration by the vibration device 60 is generated when the image displacement effect is in the special mode. . That is, since the special mode is an effect that gives an impression as if the distortion of the image is large due to the application of a large impact, the vibration is generated as if the impact is shown in the special mode. By doing so, it is possible to make the image displacement effect (the difference between the normal mode and the special mode) more realistic.

  In this example, if it is set that the jackpot reliability becomes higher when the special aspect occurs than when the normal aspect occurs, the vibration is as described in the second example. The image displacement effect of has a configuration in which the so-called jackpot reliability is high as compared to the image displacement effect without vibration.

  In addition, methods other than the above-mentioned method can be considered as a method of representing the difference in magnitude of displacement between the normal mode and the special mode. For example, it is conceivable to make the mode of the frame image 20K different between the normal mode and the special mode. Compared with the frame image 20K in the special mode, the frame image 20K in the normal mode has a shape close to a straight line (for example, the frame image 20K in the special mode has a large wavy shape). It is conceivable to make the displacement of the reference image 20 with respect to the display area 11 appear larger. Further, by making the frame image 20K in the special mode thicker than the frame image 20K in the normal mode, the displacement of the reference image 20 with respect to the display area 11 in the special mode can be seen larger. Conceivable.

Fourth specific example The mode of vibration generated at the time of image displacement effect may not be constant. For example, the normal vibration mode and the special vibration mode in which the vibration is larger than the normal vibration mode (the vibration transmitted to the player is large) may be set, and the normal vibration mode may occur together with the image displacement effect. A special vibration mode may be generated.

  In the case of the configuration of this example, if the image displacement effect of the normal mode and the special mode is generated as described in the third specific example, the normal vibration mode is In the special mode, the special vibration mode may be generated (see FIG. 8 (b)). That is, it is possible to create an effect form in which the magnitude of the displacement of the reference image 20 with respect to the display area 11 in the displacement state and the magnitude of the vibration are linked (the larger the displacement of the reference image 20, the larger the vibration).

Fifth Example The method of setting the difference in vibration mode is not limited to making the magnitude of vibration different. For example, a first vibration mode in which vibration is generated continuously for a predetermined period and a second vibration mode in which vibration is generated intermittently for a predetermined period are set, and the first vibration mode may be generated together with image displacement effects. If so, the second vibration mode may be generated together with the image displacement effect.

  In the case of the present example, it is preferable that an aspect of the image displacement effect and a vibration aspect are linked. Specifically, since the second vibration mode is one in which vibrations are generated intermittently, the reference image 20 is changed in accordance with the vibration. For example, in the case of an image displacement effect such that the reference image 20 shakes in the displacement state (the frame image 20K shakes), the vibration mode is set to the second vibration mode, and the “shake of the reference image 20” is The generated timing is shown as if it is linked with the timing at which the vibration of the vibration device 60 is generated (the reference image 20 is shaking according to the vibration) (see FIG. 9). On the other hand, in the case of the image displacement effect in which the shape of the reference image 20 (the shape of the frame image 20K) is maintained in the displacement state, the vibration mode is set to the first vibration mode.

3-2) Rotation production using image displacement production It is possible to execute rotation production using image displacement production. As described above, the image displacement effect includes the reference state and the displacement state. The rotation effect is an effect performed during a post-state that is performed after the displacement state. Specifically, it is as follows.

  The reference state is a state in which the reference image 20 is displayed in the display area 11 (see FIG. 10A). The displacement state is a state in which the reference image 20 is displaced three-dimensionally with respect to the display area 11 (see FIG. 10B). Here, the displacement state can also be viewed as a state in which a plate-like image 30 exhibiting a plate-like (plate-like) shape is displayed. That is, it can also be viewed as if the plate on which the reference image 20 is displayed on one surface (surface) is present in an inclined state with respect to the plane direction of the display area 11.

  After that, after the plate-like image 30 is rotated, the after-image is displayed as if the image (hereinafter referred to as effect image 21) present on the other surface (rear surface) of the plate-like image 30 is clarified. Transition to the state (see FIG. 11A). The effect is a rotating effect. That is, as the effect (post-state) of the rotational effect (post-state) is that the reference image 20 displayed on the front side (front side) of the plate becomes visible as the plate (plate-like image 30) rotates, the back side of the plate The effect image 21 (a portion which can not be seen in the displacement state) displayed on the side) has an aspect as if it became clear.

  After the post state, it is displayed as if the effect image 21 is spread toward the outer edge of the display area 11 (complete state). In the present embodiment, the effect image 21 is spread until the display area 11 is displayed almost entirely (see FIG. 11B). As a result of a series of image displacement effects being performed, if the reference state is changed to the completed state, the change is a scene where the reference image 20 is displayed in the display area 11 (scene shown in FIG. 10A) From this, it can be seen that the scene is switched to the scene (the scene shown in FIG. 11B) in which the effect image 21 is displayed in the display area 11. In the examples shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, a scene change occurs in which the background image changes from "day" to "night".

  As described above, in the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, as a result of the reference image 20 being displayed as if three-dimensionally displaced with respect to the display area 11, the portion including the reference image 20 is a plate (plate It is possible to perform interesting scene switching by using what looks like the shape image 30).

  Examples of scene switching include the style of presentation (for example, the change of the character serving as the motif), the change of the basic aspect of the reserved image 80, the change of the basic aspect of the identification symbol 70, and combinations thereof be able to. If the occurrence of the scene change is set as an event advantageous to the player (for example, a so-called chance increase indicating that the probability of a corresponding success / failure determination result is a big win), the occurrence of the rotation effect is pleasing to the player It can be said that there is.

  Hereinafter, a specific example in which the matter related to the rotational effect using the image displacement effect is improved, embodied, or deformed will be described. In addition, as much as possible, a configuration may be adopted in which a plurality of techniques described using the following specific examples are combined and applied.

First Specific Example Although the effect image 21 has been described as being set as an image after a scene is switched, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 12, the probability (big hit reliability) that the success / failure determination result will be a big hit can be suggested by the type of the effect image 21 displayed as the rotation effect (post-state). As types of images that can be displayed as the effect image 21, it is assumed that three types including characters of “?”, “Chance” and “extensive heat” are set. The jackpot reliability is suggested according to whether the mode of the effect image 21 (image displayed as if present on the back of the reference image 20) displayed by the rotation effect is any of the above three types. (“?” Is the lowest in the jackpot reliability, and “superheat” is the highest in the jackpot reliability).

  As described above, the rotation effect (post-state) is an effect of displaying a new image (effect image 21) present behind the reference image 20, but the purpose of use of the image is not limited to the scene switching.

Second Specific Example A transition from a displacement state to a post-state may or may not occur (see FIG. 13). Specifically, depending on whether or not the plate-like image 30 (plate) on which the reference image 20 is displayed on one surface (surface) is rotated to shift to a state where the effect image 21 is clarified, the post-state It shall be indicated whether or not the transition to In a state as if the plate-like image 30 exists in a state of being inclined with respect to the plane direction of the display area 11, a “blur” is generated to indicate that the plate-like image 30 is likely to rotate. You should In addition, the aspect of "煽" may be what kind of thing. The aspect (refer FIG.13 (b)) displayed as if the plate-like image 30 is shaking a little can be illustrated.

  Thereafter, when the plate-like image 30 is rotated and the effect image 21 is revealed (see FIG. 13C), it is assumed that the transition to the post-state is realized, and then the transition to the completion state and the scene switching Occur. On the other hand, when the plate-like image 30 is not rotated and the effect image 21 is not clarified, it is assumed that the transition to the post-state is not realized (see FIG. 13D). That is, no scene change occurs.

  If the occurrence of the scene change is set as an advantageous event (for example, a so-called chance up) for the player, it is interesting that the plate-like image 30 is rotated and the scene change occurs when the “scratch” occurs. Can be realized.

○ Third example A transition from the post-state to the completion state may or may not occur. Specifically, depending on whether the plate-like image 30 is rotated and the effect image 21 becomes clear until the effect image 21 reaches a predetermined size (e.g., until the outer edge of the display area 11 is reached). It is assumed that transition to the completion state is made and whether scene switching is realized. In the state where the effect image 21 is clarified, it is preferable to generate “flickering” as to whether the effect image 21 spreads to a predetermined size (see FIG. 14A). In addition, the aspect of "煽" may be what kind of thing. It is possible to illustrate a mode in which the size of the effect image 21 is changed (the outer edge of the effect image 21 approaches or separates from the outer edge of the display area 11).

  When the effect image 21 spreads to a predetermined size, the scene switching occurs as the transition to the completion state is realized (see FIG. 14B). On the other hand, when the effect image 21 has not spread to a predetermined size, it is assumed that the transition to the completion state is not realized (see FIG. 14C). That is, no scene change occurs.

  If the occurrence of the scene change is set as an advantageous event for the player (for example, a so-called chance up), the game characteristic with interest that the effect image 21 spreads to a predetermined size at the time of the occurrence of "flicker" Can be realized.

Fourth Specific Example The rotation direction of the plate-like image 30 in the rotation effect may be changed. The rotation direction described in the above embodiment is a direction (hereinafter referred to as a first direction) as if the right end edge of the plate-like image 30 in the displaced state is displaced to the front side (left end edge is back). 15 (a)) rotates in a direction different from that, for example, in a direction (hereinafter referred to as a second direction) as if the right edge of the plate-like image 30 is displaced backward (left edge is in front). It may be configured (see FIG. 15 (b)).

  Depending on which one of the plurality of rotation directions is selected, the probability of occurrence of an advantageous event for the player may be different. For example, as compared with the case where the rotation effect in which the plate-like image 30 rotates in the first direction is generated, the pass / fail determination result is larger when the rotation effect in which the plate-like image 30 rotates in the second direction is generated. Setting with high probability. By doing this, it is possible to focus attention on the rotation direction of the plate-like image 30 in the rotation effect.

Fifth Specific Example As described above, the rotation effect is the rotation of the plate-like image 30. Since the plate-like image 30 appears as a result of being displayed as if the reference image 20 is displaced with respect to the display area 11, there is a possibility that the image may not look like a "plate". is there. The situation where the plate-like image 30 does not look like a "plate" causes a reduction in the rendering effect.

  An image as if the plate-like image 30 is being rotated or rotation of the plate-like image 30 is being urged at the time of transition from the displacement state to the post-state in order to reduce the possibility of such a situation. Hereinafter, the rotated image 31) is displayed. For example, an image as if it represents a "rotary table" is displayed as the rotation image 31 (see FIG. 16). The plate-like image 30 is placed on the rotary image 31 representing the “rotary table”, and the effect is as if the plate-like image 30 rotates as the “rotary table” rotates. By displaying such a rotated image 31, the plate-like image 30 can be easily viewed as if it is an “object” by an apparatus or the like represented by the rotated image 31. That is, the possibility of the situation where the plate-like image 30 does not look like a "plate" is reduced.

  Making the rotational image 31 a "rotary table" is merely an example. Other examples may include an image representing a "wind" blowing in a direction to rotate the plate-like image 30, an image representing a "character" performing an operation to rotate the plate-like image 30, and the like.

3-3) Image displacement effect during operation effect It is possible to execute an operation effect for prompting the player to operate the operation means. Although the operation effect itself is known and thus the detailed description is omitted, it is an effect provided with an operation means operable by the player to urge the player to operate the operation means. Any operation means may be used as long as the player can operate. Hereinafter, although an operation effect in which the operation of the push button 61 (see FIG. 1) is prompted is described as an example, the operation effect in which the operation of the operation unit described above is prompted may be performed.

  In the operation effect, basically, an image (operation request image) indicating that the player operates the push button 61 as the operation means is displayed in the display area 11. For example, as the operation request image, an image representing the push button 61 (hereinafter referred to as the operation image 40) is displayed, or an operation valid period (in the present embodiment, the operation valid period) The meter image 41 is displayed, which visually shows the rest of the image, or the explanatory image 42 is displayed to explain the required operation mode. The required operation mode is a single operation of operating the operating means only once, a continuous operation of operating continuously (so-called "continuous hitting" when the operating means is the push button 61), an operated state A maintenance operation to maintain (in the case where the operation means is the push button 61, so-called "long press") or the like can be illustrated. Although the operation effects described below require continuous operation (continuous hitting), the required operation mode can be changed as appropriate. In addition, it is assumed that the operation effects described below are such an effect mode that the player is required to defeat the enemy character by the continuous operation. The probability of defeating the enemy character is set as a success ending and the failure to defeat the enemy character is set as a failure ending, and if it is a success ending, there is a probability that the success / failure judgment result will be a big win compared to the case of a failure ending. It is assumed that it is set to be high (it is determined that the result of the determination of the success or failure will be lost when the failure ends).

  In the present embodiment, an image displacement effect occurs in the middle of the operation effect. In other words, the image displacement effect is performed during a part of the period in which the operation effect is being performed. As described above, the image displacement effect is an effect that makes the image (reference image 20) appear to be shifted with respect to the display area 11. Therefore, it is necessary to display the operation request image such as the operation image 40 or the meter image 41 Performing image displacement rendition together with the operation rendition which is to be performed is not preferable in a general way of thinking, but in the present embodiment, image displacement rendition is executed during the operation rendition as follows.

  The operation effects (operation effects for generating image displacement effects) in the present embodiment are roughly divided into a first period, a second period, and a third period. The operation presentation proceeds in the order of the first period, the second period, and the third period. During the first period, the operation image 40 and the meter image 41 are displayed. By displaying the operation image 40 and the meter image 41, it can be said that the start of the operation effect is shown to the player. Since the first period is also the operation effective period, when the push button 61 is operated during the period (when it is repeatedly hit), it is reflected in the effect. For example, every time the push button 61 is operated, an image as if the enemy character is damaged is displayed (see FIG. 17A).

  After the first period, transition to the second period. The second period is a period in which an image displacement effect occurs. That is, the reference image 20 is displayed as if it were shifted with respect to the display area 11. Since the image displacement effect is generated during the operation effect, the image displacement effect is generated in a state where the continuity of the operation effect is secured. The reference image 20 in the present embodiment includes an element representing an enemy character and an element representing the background thereof. That is, the reference image 20 is displayed as if it were shifted with respect to the display area 11 so that the basic elements constituting the operation effect are included in the reference image 20 (see FIG. 17B).

  On the other hand, during the second period (image displacement effect), the operation of the push button 61 is not reflected in the effect. That is, the second period is the operation ineffective period. That the operation of the operation effect is reflected in the effect means that the reference image 20 must be changed in some way (in the present embodiment, an image is displayed as if the enemy character is damaged). It is difficult to control so that a change occurs in the reference image 20 triggered by the operation of the push button 61 in a state where the reference image 20 is displayed as if it is shifted with respect to the display area 11 (control load Is large, the operation of the push button 61 is not reflected in the effect.

  As described later, the third period is an operation effective period in which the operation of the push button 61 is reflected in the effect again. That is, although the second period is an operation ineffective period in which the operation of the push button 61 is not reflected in the effect, it is a period in the middle of the operation effect (a state where the operation effect is not completed). An image showing it is displayed. Specifically, although the current situation is that the operation of the push button 61 is not reflected in the effect, an image showing that transition to a situation in which the operation of the push button 61 is reflected in the effect (third period) , And the standby image 43) is displayed. In the present embodiment, when transitioning from the first period to the second period, the explanatory image 42 (an image showing that “the continuous hit” is requested is maintained while the state in which the operation image 40 is included in the reference image 20 is maintained. ) Is replaced with an image including the characters of "standby" (see FIG. 17B). The "standby" image corresponds to the standby image 43. As another aspect of the standby image 43, “(temporary) under stop”, “temporary stop mark (a mark in which two vertically long rectangles are lined up),” and the like can be illustrated. Although the standby image 43 like this does not currently reflect the operation of the push button 61 in the effect, the player may shift to a situation in which the operation of the push button 61 is reflected in the effect in the future It becomes easy to feel.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the operation image 40 and the meter image 41 are displayed also in the second period (see FIG. 17B). However, the change of the meter image 41 (such as the decrease of the meter) is stopped during the second period. As a result, the player can easily feel that the second period is not the operation effective period (the operation ineffective period).

  After the first period, shift to the third period. In the third period, the state as if the reference image 20 shifted with respect to the display area 11 is eliminated. The third period is a period in which the operation of the push button 61 is reflected in the effect, as in the first period, so an image similar to the first period is displayed in the display area 11. That is, the operation request image (the operation image 40, the meter image 41, the explanatory image 42) and the enemy character are displayed (see FIG. 17C). The total length of the operation effective period through the operation effect is the sum of the operation effective period in the first period and the operation effective period in the third period. The change in the meter image 41 (such as a decrease in the meter) that has been stopped in the second period is resumed upon transition to the third period. By doing this, it is easy for the player to feel that the operation valid period has come again. If the push button 61 is operated during the third period (in the case of repeated strikes), as in the first period, that is reflected in the effect. For example, every time the push button 61 is operated, an image as if the enemy character is damaged is displayed.

  As described above, in the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, it is possible to execute an interesting effect (a combined effect of the operation effect and the image displacement effect) that the image displacement effect is generated during the operation effect.

  During the operation effect, the operation of the operation means is not reflected during the period in which the image displacement effect is generated in the operation effect (the second period in the above embodiment) (the operation ineffective period). It is possible to suppress an increase in control burden of presentation due to the occurrence of image displacement presentation.

  In the operation ineffective period (the second period in the above embodiment), the standby image 43 is displayed as if it indicates that the operation effective period is to be transferred in the future, so that the operation of the operation means is performed in the future. This makes it easy for the player to feel that it is likely to shift to a situation (third period in the above embodiment) in which the effect is reflected in the effect.

  Hereinafter, a specific example in which the matter related to the image displacement effect during the operation effect is improved, embodied, or deformed will be described. In addition, as much as possible, a configuration may be adopted in which a plurality of techniques described using the following specific examples are combined and applied.

○ 1st example The operation production (the operation production which an image displacement production generates) in the above-mentioned embodiment is the first period (operation effective period), the second period (operation ineffective period), the third period (operation effective period) It has been described that it proceeds as in, but this is just an example. An image displacement effect is generated during the operation effect, and any operation ineffective period may be used during the image displacement effect. For example, as a configuration in which the operation non-effective period in which the standby image 43 is displayed is started simultaneously with the start of the operation effect (a configuration in which the period from the start of the operation effect to the lapse of a predetermined time is the operation ineffective period) It is also good.

Second Specific Example In the above embodiment, it has been described that the period in which the image displacement effect is generated is the operation ineffective period, but the period in which the image displacement effect is generated may be set as the operation effective period. The period during which the image displacement effect is occurring is set as the operation ineffective period in order to suppress an increase in control burden, and if it is allowed, the period during which the image displacement effect is generated is regarded as the operation effective period. It is also good.

○ Third specific example In some operation effects, image displacement effects may or may not be generated, and image displacement effects occur in the case where image displacement effects do not occur. It is assumed that the probability that the end of the operation effect will be a successful end (in other words, the probability that the result of the judgment will be a jackpot) is high. That is, it is set that the occurrence of the image displacement effect is a so-called chance increase. In this way, it is possible for the player to pay attention to whether or not the image displacement effect occurs in the operation effect.

Fourth Specific Example In the above embodiment, the change in the meter image 41 (such as the decrease in the meter) stops during the period in which the image displacement effect is generated, that is, the operation ineffective period, and the subsequent operation effective period starts Although it has been described that the configuration is resumed, the meter image 41 may not be displayed while the image displacement effect is occurring (see FIG. 18). Even in this manner, the player can easily feel that the period during which the image displacement effect is occurring is not the operation valid period (the operation invalid period).

  As in the above embodiment, the processing proceeds as in the first period (operation effective period), the second period (operation ineffective period), and the third period (operation effective period), that is, the operation non-operation is performed during the operation effective period. When the effective period is set, the meter image 41 is erased at the end of the previous operation effective period (first period), and the meter image is again performed at the start of the subsequent operation effective period (third period). 41 is to be displayed, the configuration of the meter image 41 at the end of the previous operation effective period is taken over by the condition of the meter image 41 at the start of the later operation effective period. preferable. If the setting is such that the meter decreases or increases as time passes, the amount of meter at the end of the previous operation effective period matches the amount of meter at the start of the subsequent operation effective period. do it.

  In addition, the meter image 41 demonstrated by the said embodiment or this example is an example to the last. The meter image 41 may be any as long as it visually shows the player the remainder of the operation valid period. For example, it is assumed that the meter image 41 also includes one that indicates the remainder of the operation valid period by “number” itself (countdown etc.).

  Further, even in the case where the meter image 41 is not displayed in the second period, it is preferable that the operation image 40 be displayed (see FIG. 18). If the configuration is such that the operation image 40 is not displayed, it is difficult to understand that the second period is in the middle of the operation effect (that the operation effect is continuing). That is, there is a possibility that the player may feel that the operation effect has ended when shifting to the second period. However, in the second period, as in the case of the meter image 41, it does not necessarily mean that the operation image 40 is not displayed.

Fifth example A sensor capable of detecting a part of the player's body is provided, and an operation effect is produced by having the player detect his / her hand etc. by the sensor as "operation of the operation means". The image displacement effect may be generated during the operation effect.

3-4) Game Progress Indication Using Image Displacement Effect It is possible to use the image displacement effect to suggest the progress of the game. In the present embodiment, it is suggested that post-effects may be performed using image displacement effects. The specific mode of the post-representation may be any. The post-effect in the present embodiment is a reach effect in which it is indicated whether the result of the judgment of success or failure is a jackpot according to the mode of the end of the effect. During a series of informing effects (from the start of fluctuation of the identification symbol 70 to the stopping with the combination indicating the result of the determination), the subsequent effect does not occur during the series Compared with the case, the probability that the certain result of the judgment will be a jackpot is also high.

  The image displacement effect is displayed as if the reference image 20 is displaced with respect to the display area 11. Therefore, in the displaced state, a portion other than the portion where the reference image 20 is necessarily displayed in the display area 11 (Hereinafter, the portion is referred to as a specific area 12). The progress of the game is suggested using the specific area 12. Specifically, in the specific area 12, an image (hereinafter, the image is referred to as a suggested image 50) that shows a post effect that may occur in the future is displayed (see FIG. 19A). . The suggestion image 50 may be one that directly represents the post presentation, or one that is indirectly represented (suggested). As the suggestion image 50 directly representing the post-effect, an image of an aspect including characters representing the name of the post-effect can be illustrated. As the suggestion image 50 that indirectly represents the post-effect, an image of an aspect including a character appearing in the post-effect can be illustrated. In addition, the suggested image 50 may be in a state in which a part of the suggested image 50 can not be seen by the reference image 20. In this manner, by the suggestion image 50 being displayed in the specific area 12 generated by the generation of the image displacement effect, the player is likely to generate the effect (post-effect effect) suggested by the image. You will get an impression.

  After the image displacement presentation, the post presentation is not necessarily performed. Post-production may or may not be performed. After the image displacement production, assuming that the ending for which the post production is executed is the progress ending and the ending for which the post rendering is not performed is the non-progressing ending, the reference image 20 is in the original state (state not displaced with respect to the display area 11) If it does not return to (), it will end in progress (see FIG. 19 (b)), and if it returns to its original state, it will end in non-progress (see FIG. 19 (c)). That is, the fact that the reference image 20 returns to the original state means that the suggestion image 50 displayed in the specific area 12 disappears (disappears), so the player visually recognizes that it does not shift to the post production. It is possible to grasp it (as an image) in an intuitive way, and it becomes an easy-to-understand flow of presentation.

  In the case of progress ending, the suggestion image 50 is enlarged to a predetermined size. In other words, the specific area 12 in which the suggestion image 50 is displayed is enlarged to a predetermined range. In the present embodiment, in the case of a progressive ending, the suggested image 50 (specific region 12) is enlarged to substantially cover the entire display region 11 (see FIG. 19B). By doing this, it is possible for the player to visually (as an image) grasp that the transition to the post-effect is made, and the flow of the effect becomes easy to understand.

  Hereinafter, a specific example in which the matter relating to the game progress suggestion using the image displacement effect is improved, embodied, modified, etc. will be described. In addition, as much as possible, a configuration may be adopted in which a plurality of techniques described using the following specific examples are combined and applied.

First Specific Example A plurality of types of post-effects that may be suggested to be advanced using image displacement effects may be set. Suggested images 50 associated with each of the respective post effects are provided. Each suggestion image 50 can be distinguished from each other and directly or indirectly represents the post-representation suggested by each.

  As described above, when a plurality of types of after-effects are set, it is conceivable that the suggested image 50 associated with each after-effect is one including the reliability factor 51. For example, three types of ex post effect A, ex post effect B, and ex post effect C are set, and it is assumed that the jackpot reliability of each effect becomes high in that order (the post effect C is the highest). In this case, the suggested image A for the post-representation A (see FIG. 20 (a)) is “mark of one star”, and the suggested image B for the post-representation B (see FIG. 20 (b)) is “the two-star mark”. The suggested image C (see FIG. 20C) of the post-production C includes “a mark of three stars”. That is, “mark of the number of stars” is included as the reliability element 51 indicating the level of the jackpot reliability. By doing this, at the stage when the suggested image 50 is displayed (the stage where the player is unsure if the post presentation is to be executed), an indicator of the jackpot reliability of the post presentation may be executed. It is possible. For example, when the suggestion image C is displayed, the player strongly desires to end the progression.

Second Specific Example The suggestion image 50 is assumed to be the first image of the post-effect (the first image of the post-post effect that is a video). As in the above embodiment, in the case of progressive ending, the suggested image 50 is enlarged to substantially the entire area of the display area 11, and thereafter, if the post effect is generated, the suggested image 50 is displayed substantially in the entire area of the display area 11 The suggested image 50 may be made to coincide with the image at the start of the post production. By doing this, it is possible to make the flow from the image displacement rendition (image displacing rendition to be a progressive end) to the post rendition smooth.

Third Specific Example In the above embodiment, after the suggestion image 50 is displayed in the specific area 12, it has been described that the setting is not limited to the execution of the post production, but the suggestion image 50 in the specific area 12 After the is displayed, the post-effect may be set to be executed. That is, the post-effects corresponding to the suggested image 50 displayed in the specific area 12 may be generated without fail.

Fourth Specific Example The form of the suggestion image 50 is assumed to indicate the possibility that the post-effects will be performed thereafter (probability to become a progressive end). For example, it is assumed that a plurality of types of effects having different sizes of the suggestion image 50 (specific region 12) may occur as the image displacement effect. Depending on the size of the suggestion image 50, it is assumed that the probability that the post-effect will occur thereafter is different.

  As in the above-described embodiment, in the case where the post effect is executed when the suggested image 50 is enlarged to a predetermined size, the larger the size of the suggested image 50 displayed in the image displacement effect is, It is preferable that the probability of becoming an ending outcome (post-representation occurs) is high. In other words, it can be said that the larger the size of the specific region 12 is, the higher the probability that the progress will end. Since the larger the size of the suggestion image 50, the smaller the amount of change until reaching the predetermined size, the larger the size of the suggestion image 50 is, the higher the probability that the progressing end will occur. Then, the size of the suggestion image 50 and the probability of the progress ending are linked in an easy-to-understand presentation form. In the example shown in FIG. 21, since the size of the suggestion image 50 (specific region 12) is larger in the effect of FIG. 21 (b) than in the effect of FIG. high.

  In addition, the method of setting the difference in the aspect of the suggestion image 50 is not limited to the one depending on the size of the image. For example, although it is the suggestion image 50 showing the same post-effect, the setting is such that a plurality of kinds of suggestion images 50 different in color tone of the image (for example, the background color of the suggestion image 50 is different) can be displayed. It is also conceivable to suggest a possibility of ending.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described in detail, this invention is not limited at all to the said embodiment, A various change is possible in the range which does not deviate from the summary of this invention.

  The gaming machine 1 according to the above-described embodiment is a so-called pachinko gaming machine, but the present invention is also applicable to other gaming machines such as a roll-to-roll gaming machine provided with a display device except for matters using the pachinko gaming machine specific configuration.
