1) Basic Configuration of Game Machine Hereinafter, one embodiment of a game machine 1 (pachinko game machine) 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 91, a start area 904, a special winning opening 906, an out port, and the like are provided. The display area 911 of the display device 91 is a portion visible through the opening 901 formed in the game board 90. Further, in the game area 902, a plurality of game nails 10K are provided as obstacles that change the flow-down mode of the game balls due to the collision of the game balls flowing down. The game balls flowing down the game area 902 change in various manners according to the conditions when the game nail 10 K collides.

  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 area 904 or the big winning opening 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 a winning determination means provided on a control board (not shown) triggered by winning of the game ball in the starting area 904. In the present embodiment, as the starting area 904, a first starting area 904a (a starting area of a so-called "special view 1") and a second starting area 904b (a starting area of a so-called "special figure 2") are provided. A numerical value (appropriate determination information) is acquired from a random number source triggered by the game ball's winning in the starting area 904, and if the numerical value is the same as a predetermined jackpot value, it becomes a big hit, It becomes. 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 holding information is stored in the storage means is displayed as a holding symbol 70.

  In this embodiment, as the reserved symbol 70, the effect from the start of the change of the notification effect (identification symbol 80 (identification symbol group 80g) to notify the determination result of the success or absence, the effect until completely stopped by the combination indicating the determination result of the determination Although the effect during the fluctuation is said to have been started, notification of the result of the pass / fail judgment has not been completed (hereinafter, it may be referred to as suspension during fluctuation information). The pre-variation suspension symbol 72 corresponding to the symbol indicating the existence of the "variation suspension" and information for which notification effect for notifying the result of the determination is not started (hereinafter, may be referred to as pre-variation suspension information) is displayed. (See Figure 2). In this embodiment, the basic form of the suspended symbol 71 during fluctuation and the suspended symbol 72 before fluctuation is the same, and the suspended symbol 71 during fluctuation is displayed larger than the suspended symbol 72 before fluctuation in order to distinguish between the two. Ru. The basic form of the suspension symbol 71 during fluctuation and the suspension symbol 72 before fluctuation may be completely different. Further, the holding symbol 71 may not be displayed during the change.

  The maximum storage number of the pre-change pending information is limited. In the present embodiment, the maximum number of memories of the first pre-variation suspension information (special figure 1 suspension) obtained by winning in the first starting area 904a is four, and by winning in the second starting area 904b. The maximum number of storages of the second pre-variation hold information (special figure 2 hold) obtained is four. Therefore, with regard to the holding symbol 70 corresponding to one of the special drawing 1 and the special drawing 2, one changing holding symbol 71 and a maximum of four pre-change holding symbols 72 may be displayed (see FIG. 2). .

  In the present embodiment, as in the case of 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 80 (see FIG. 2) displayed in the display area 911 of the display device 91. Specifically, identification symbol group 80g (left identification symbol group 80gL, middle identification symbol group 80gC, right identification symbol group 80gR) including plural types of identification symbols 80 starts to change, and finally each identification symbol group 80g One of the identification symbols 80 is selected and stopped. When the jackpot is won, the combination of the identification symbols 80 selected and stopped from each identification symbol group 80g is a predetermined combination (for example, three sets of the same identification symbols 80). In the case of an out of place, it is a combination other than that (other than the combination that makes a big hit). The identification symbol 80 may be a combination of numbers and characters.

  In addition, in some drawings other than FIG. 2, illustration of the retention symbol 70 and the identification symbol 80 is abbreviate | omitted.

  In the present embodiment, the normal gaming state and the special gaming state are set as the gaming state. The special game state is a game state advantageous to the player as compared to the normal game state. The normal gaming state is a low probability gaming state in which the probability of winning a jackpot is low, and a low base state (low probability, time saving state) in which the gaming ball is hard to win in the starting area 904. As the special game state, a first special game state and a second special game state are set. The first special game state is a high probability game state in which the probability of winning a jackpot is high, and a high base state (high probability / time saving) in which the game ball is easy to win in the start area 904. The second special game state is a low probability game state in which the probability of winning a jackpot is low, and a high base state (low probability / time saving) in which the game ball is easy to win in the start area 904. In the normal gaming state, the player aims the first starting area 904a to fire the gaming ball. In the present embodiment, so-called "left strike" is performed. In the special game state, the game ball is fired by aiming at the second start area 904b. In the present embodiment, so-called "right-handed" is performed. Since the special gaming state is a state in which it is easy to win the opening lottery of the second starting area 904b triggered by the game ball entering the normal starting area 905, the gaming ball is relatively easily generated in the second starting area 904b Win a prize. In addition, since the setting regarding transition of a game state may be what, it abbreviate | omits description. Moreover, it is an example to the last having set the above game states.

2) Projection part The projection part 21 with which the game machine 1 concerning this embodiment is provided is demonstrated. On the game board 90, various members (game members 10) to which the game ball can come in contact are fixed. The game nail 10K can be illustrated as a kind of said member. The configuration of the game nail 10K itself is the same as the known one. The game nail 10K protrudes forward from the front of the game board 90 (see FIG. 3).

  On the front side of the game board 90, a transparent plate 20 formed of a material (in the present embodiment, a colorless and transparent material) for making the game area 902 visible is provided (see FIG. 3). The transparent plate 20 can be said to be a covering member that covers the game area 902. In addition, it can be said that the transparent plate 20 is positioned to face the front of the game board 90. The transparent plate 20 is integrated with a known front face frame, and the game area 902 is opened by rotating the front face frame. Since the key for unlocking the front frame is managed by the gaming machine store, the player can not insert his hand into the game area 902 without permission. Unless otherwise specified, the positional relationship of each part means that when the transparent plate 20 (front frame) is in the original position and the game area 902 is covered (closed). Do.

  The protrusion 21 is a part of the transparent plate 20. Specifically, it is a protrusion that protrudes rearward from the rear surface (the surface on the side of the game area 902) of the transparent plate 20 (see FIG. 3). In the present embodiment, the protrusion 21 is formed by being integrally molded with the main body of the transparent plate 20 (that is, formed of the same material), but the main body and the protrusion 21 are separately formed. 21 may be fixed to the main body portion. Since the protrusion 21 is also a portion formed of a transparent material, the protrusion 21 does not make the game area 902 difficult to see.

  The protrusion 21 is positioned adjacent to a part of the tip end side of the game nail 10K. The protrusion 21 in the present embodiment is an annular protrusion, and the head (a part on the tip end side) of the gaming nail 10K is in the inside of the “annular”. That is, when viewed from the direction orthogonal to the front-rear direction, the projection 21 overlaps a part of the tip end side of the game nail 10K (see the right side of FIG. 3). In the present embodiment, the portion other than the head of the game nail 10K does not enter the inside of the protrusion 21. In addition, the head of the game nail 10K is circular, and the center of the head of the game nail 10K and the center of the “circular ring” of the protrusion 21 are set to substantially coincide (the game nail 10K is on the game board In the case of being perpendicular to the plane direction of 90 (when the central axis of the game nail 10K is along the longitudinal direction) (see the left side of FIG. 3). When viewed from the front-rear direction, the distance between the outer edge of the game nail 10K (head) and the inner edge of the “circular ring” of the projecting portion 21 is preferably 1 mm or less. If the distance is made too small, when the transparent plate 20 is rotated together with the front frame, the game nail 10K and the projection 21 come into contact with each other, so a distance such that such contact does not occur is secured.

  By providing such a projecting portion 21, positional deviation of the game nail 10K is suppressed. Specifically, it is prevented that the game nail 10K falls (tilts) more than necessary. That is, when the game nail 10K falls by a predetermined amount, the game nail 10K and the projection 21 come into contact with each other, so that the game nail 10K can be prevented from further falling. Since the game nail 10K will fall due to the game ball coming into contact, it can be said that it is significant to prevent the fall as in the present embodiment.

  It is not necessary to provide the protrusions 21 corresponding to all the game nails 10K. Protrusions against the game nail 10K in order to prevent falling of the game nail 10K (game nail 10K having a large effect on the ball performance), which is important for securing the game characteristics (expedition performance) as expected 21 may be provided. The action of the projecting portion 21 prevents a significant change in the ball-out performance.

  Hereinafter, the specific example which improved the matter regarding the said protrusion part 21, improvement, materialization, a deformation | transformation, etc. is demonstrated. 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 In the above embodiment, it has been described that falling of the game nail 10K is prevented by the projecting portion 21. However, the target game member 10 is not limited to the game nail 10K. It may be a member provided so as to project forward from the game board 90. For example, in order to prevent the falling of the winning member (for example, the member constituting the starting region 904) constituting the winning area (winning opening), the projecting portion 21 is provided adjacent to a part of the tip side of the winning member. The configuration may be different.

Second Specific Example In the above embodiment, the protrusion 21 is described as being in an annular shape formed to surround the periphery of the head of the game nail 10K, but an annular shape adapted to the shape of the game member 10 of interest If it is That is, in the above embodiment, since the target game member 10 is the game nail 10K and the head of the game nail 10K is circular in plan view, the projecting portion 21 is annular, and the target game member is tentatively If 10 is a square in plan view, the protrusion 21 is in the form of a square ring (see FIG. 4). That is, the game apparatus 10 is shaped such that the distance between the outer edge of the portion surrounded by the projecting portion 21 and the inner edge of the projecting portion 21 is equal along the ring. By doing this, it is possible to prevent the game member 10 from falling more than necessary regardless of the direction in which the game member 10 falls.

Third Specific Example The protrusion 21 may not be an annular member surrounding the periphery of the gaming member 10. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, it is assumed that a passage R (space) through which game balls can pass is formed between two game nails 10K arranged in the left-right direction. In order to prevent the size of the passage R from becoming too large, the game nail 10K1 is largely fallen to the left by making the protrusion 21 present on the left side of the game nail 10Ka on the left side of the passage R It is conceivable to prevent (in the same way, the protrusion 21 may be present on the right side of the game nail 10 Kb on the right side). As shown in FIG. 5, if the configuration is such that the gaming ball having passed the passage wins in the prize area, the size of the passage R has a large effect on the ball withdrawal performance, so the significance of providing the projecting portion 21 Is large. Thus, depending on the purpose, the position where the protrusion 21 is formed may be limited. However, if the protrusion 21 is annular as in the above embodiment, there is an advantage in that the fall in any direction is suppressed.

3) Light Amount Adjustment Function The gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment includes the sub display 30 which is a display different from the display 91 (see FIG. 6). The display device 91 can also be viewed as a main display device (main display device 91) with respect to the sub display device 30. The sub display device 30 is provided in front of the display device 91, and a portion where an image is not displayed has light transparency (is a transmissive display device). The sub-display device 30 in the present embodiment has a light guide plate (referred to as an illumination panel or the like) that causes light to be incident from the side surface of a transparent plate to display a predetermined image on the plate. Since the part where the image is not displayed is transparent, the image displayed on the display device 91 is visually recognized as it is through the part. Further, the sub-display device 30 in the present embodiment can visually recognize the image displayed on the display device 91 through the portion where the image is displayed (the portion where the image is displayed also has transparency (image Is translucent)). In each of the drawings, the secondary display device 30 and an image displayed thereon are shown by dotted lines.

  The gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment has a light amount adjustment function. The light amount adjustment function itself is known, and thus the detailed description is omitted. However, the player can arbitrarily adjust the light amount of the light emitting unit provided in the gaming machine 1. The light emitting portion includes not only the light (light source) provided in the gaming machine 1 but also the display device 91. That is, the brightness of the image displayed on the display device 91 is also adjustable by the light amount adjustment function. In the present embodiment, it is possible to adjust the light amounts of all the light emitting parts in five steps as one unit. In the following description, the first stage light quantity (lowest) is referred to as "light quantity 1", the second stage light quantity is referred to as "light quantity 2" ... the fifth stage light quantity (highest) is referred to as "light quantity 5" Sometimes. Note that the number of steps of the adjustable light quantity can be changed as appropriate. In addition, the light emitting portion or the like to be subjected to the light amount adjustment can be increased or decreased as appropriate.

  In the present embodiment, the light amount adjustment can be performed in the standby state. After the notification of all the success / failure determination results is completed, the standby state is entered after a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds). In the standby state, the procedure for using the light amount adjustment function on the display device 91 is shown. In the present embodiment, it is possible to adjust the light amount by operating the cross key (not shown) which is the operating means. Specifically, the light amount decreases by one step by operating the left of the cross key, and the light amount increases by one step by operating the right.

  As described above, when the light amount adjustment is performed by the light amount adjustment function, the auxiliary image 31 is displayed on the sub display device 30. The shape of the auxiliary image 31 may be any shape. The auxiliary image 31 is such that the brightness of the image can be changed in five steps. "Auxiliary image 1" associated with "light intensity 1", "auxiliary image 2" associated with "light intensity 2" ... "auxiliary image 5" associated with "light intensity 5" It is possible to display five types of auxiliary images 31. Each auxiliary image 31 has the same shape but different brightness (brightness). The lightness is increased in the order of “auxiliary image 1” (lowest), “auxiliary image 2”... “Auxiliary image 5” (highest) (see FIG. 7). Each reference image has the same shape but different brightness.

  The auxiliary image 31 in the present embodiment is used for an effect constituting an informing effect. That is, the auxiliary image 31 may be displayed as an effect in the gaming state in which the player is playing (during the variation of the identification symbol 80). By doing this, it is not necessary to prepare a dedicated image for light amount adjustment. However, it does not deny that the auxiliary image 31 is prepared as an image dedicated to light amount adjustment.

  Further, when the light amount adjustment is performed, an image (hereinafter, referred to as a light amount image 92) indicating the value of the light amount is displayed on the display device 91. The light amount image 92 can be viewed through the sub display device 30 even when the sub image 30 is displayed on the sub display device 30. In the present embodiment, the light intensity image 92 is displayed at a position not overlapping the auxiliary image 31 in the display area 911. The method of indicating the “value of light amount” by the light amount image 92 may be any method as long as the value is visually represented. The light amount 1, the light amount 2 and so on may be represented using numbers, or may be represented by a meter (including both a number and a meter) (see FIG. 7).

  In the present embodiment, when the light amount changes, the auxiliary image 31 corresponding to the changed light amount is displayed on the sub display device 30. For example, when an operation to change “light amount 3” to “light amount 4” is performed, “auxiliary image 4” is displayed on the sub display device 30. Further, when an operation to change the light amount to "light amount 5" is performed, "auxiliary image 5" is displayed on the sub display 30 (see FIG. 7). As described above, since the auxiliary image 31 having brightness according to the corresponding light amount is displayed, it can be used as a standard when adjustment is performed, and the light amount adjustment can be easily performed.

  When the light amount adjustment is performed, the light amount image 92 is displayed on the main display device 91. Since the sub display 30 in the present embodiment is a transmissive display, the light intensity image 92 displayed on the main display 91 located behind it is viewed through the sub display 30 (the auxiliary image 31 is displayed) Even if the light amount image 92 is not visible). Therefore, it is possible to adjust to the desired light quantity while looking at the brightness of the auxiliary image 31 and the value of the light quantity indicated by the light quantity image 92 (see FIG. 7).

  Although not illustrated, in the present embodiment, at least a part of the light emitting units whose light quantity changes due to light quantity adjustment and that emits light also in the standby state, along with the light quantity adjustment. Light amount (actual output) changes. The light amount adjustment can be performed by combining the actual output of the light emitting unit and the auxiliary image 31.

  Hereinafter, specific examples in which the matters related to the light amount adjustment function are 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 In the light amount adjustment, the auxiliary image 31 is continuously displayed until the predetermined time elapses. That is, when the light amount changes, the auxiliary image 31 is not displayed once and disappears immediately, but the auxiliary image 31 continues to be displayed for a certain period of time (for example, 10 seconds). When adjusting the light amount, an operation is often performed in which the step of the light amount changes in a short time (in most cases, the cross key is operated continuously in accordance with the above embodiment). Therefore, if the auxiliary image 31 is prevented from disappearing immediately, only the lightness changes while the auxiliary image 31 remains, so it is easy to understand the "difference" caused by the light amount changing by one step. It becomes a thing.

Second Specific Example It is assumed that the auxiliary image 31 once displayed is not deleted until a predetermined condition is satisfied. For example, if it is possible to adjust the light amount in the standby state as in the above embodiment, the auxiliary image 31 once displayed is not erased until the standby state is cancelled. In addition, various conditions can be considered as the condition for canceling the standby state. It may be triggered by the game ball being fired (when the launcher 908 is operated) or when the game ball is won in the start area 904 (when the fluctuation of the identification symbol 80 is started). Good. As described above, by not erasing the auxiliary image 31 until the predetermined condition is satisfied, when the light amount adjustment is performed, only the brightness changes while the auxiliary image 31 remains, so the light amount is increased. It becomes easy to understand the "difference" caused by one step change.

In the above embodiment, it has been described that the light amount adjustment is possible in the standby state, but the light amount adjustment is also possible in the non-standby state, that is, in the gaming state (during variation of the identification symbol 80) It may be a certain configuration. However, when the light amount adjustment is performed in the gaming state, the auxiliary image 31 is not displayed (the light amount image 92 is displayed). That is, although the auxiliary image 31 is displayed during light amount adjustment in the standby state (see FIG. 8A), the auxiliary image 31 is not displayed during light amount adjustment in the gaming state (see FIG. 8B). . As described in the above embodiment, when the auxiliary image 31 is also used as an effect that constitutes a notification effect, the auxiliary image 31 is displayed by the light amount adjustment being performed during the notification effect. This is because there is a risk that the player may misunderstand that the display of the auxiliary image 31 has occurred as an effect.

  However, if the auxiliary image 31 is set as a dedicated image for light amount adjustment (so that the auxiliary image 31 is not displayed as an effect constituting a notification effect), even when the light amount adjustment is performed in the gaming state, The auxiliary image 31 may be displayed.

Fourth Specific Example It is assumed that the difference in the aspect of each auxiliary image 31 (“auxiliary image 1” to “auxiliary image 5”) associated with each light amount is not only “brightness”. For example, it is conceivable that the colors of the images are different. Specifically, not only the lightness is increased in the order of “auxiliary image 1”, “auxiliary image 2”... “Auxiliary image 5”, but also the “red” elements constituting the image are getting larger ( Redness will gradually increase). This makes it easier to understand the change in light quantity. It should be noted that if the colors of the auxiliary image 31 are completely different, the difference in lightness may be difficult to understand, so the color system should be unified (the above example is an example unified with "red"). Is preferred.

4) Mode Change In the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, one of a plurality of effect modes is set. The mode of the notification effect is determined according to the currently set effect mode (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the current setting mode). That is, the mode (style) of the notification effect changes according to the current setting mode. In the present embodiment, three types of mode A, mode B, and mode C are set as the effect mode (see FIG. 9). The number of selectable presentation modes can be increased or decreased as appropriate. The difference between the effect modes may be any. In the present embodiment, in each of the modes A, B, and C, an effect having the characters A, B, and C as a motif is generated. That is, the character serving as the motif of the effect is changed by the change of the effect mode. However, this is just an example. Depending on the effect mode, the probability that the predetermined effect will occur may be different. As the predetermined effect, so-called "pre-read effect", "one-shot notification effect", and "hold change effect" can be exemplified. The frequency of occurrence of these effects is changed according to the selection of the effect mode.

  In the present embodiment, it is possible for the player to select a desired effect mode (select which effect mode to be the current setting mode). Selection of the effect mode is performed not only in the state where the notification effect is not executed (the state in which the variation of the identification symbol 80 is stopped) but also during the notification effect (the state in which the identification symbol 80 is changed) Can. Any method may be used to request the player to switch the rendering mode. In the present embodiment, it is possible to switch the effect mode by operating the up and down of the cross key which is the operation means. Hereinafter, the control in the case where the change of the effect mode is requested during the informing effect will be described.

  It is assumed that a change from the current setting mode to another rendering mode is requested. In the following description, the other effect mode is referred to as a "desired mode". When a change from the state where the current setting mode is the effect mode A to the effect mode B is requested, the desired mode is the effect mode B. In the present embodiment, even when a change to the desired mode is requested, the change may not be immediately made to set the desired mode as the current setting mode. More specifically, the desired mode is triggered by the completion of notification of the result of determination of acceptance or rejection corresponding to all suspension information (retention information during fluctuation and suspension information before fluctuation) existing when the player's request is accepted. Change to the current setting mode. In short, the change of the desired mode to the current setting mode is executed in response to the fact that all of the existing reservations at the time the player requested are digested.

  For example, a state in which there is one fluctuation pending information (during fluctuation pending symbol 71) (H1) and two pre-fluctuation pending information (pre-variation reserved symbol 72) (H2, H3) (see FIG. 10A) ), It is assumed that a request to change the rendering mode A (current setting mode) to the rendering mode B (desired mode) is issued (note that symbols such as H1, H2... Distinguish each holding symbol 70) It is not attached that it is actually attached, and the thing with the same code concerned shall correspond to the same reservation information (the same success / failure decision result). When the request is issued (request time), switching to the production mode B is not immediately made, and all the hold information existing at the request time, that is, one fluctuation hold information (H1) and two fluctuations. The effect mode A is maintained until the notification of the result of the pass / fail determination corresponding to the previous hold information (H2, H3) is completed. Briefly speaking, after the request time, the production mode A is until the notification of the three success / failure determination results (the notification of loss) is completed, that is, until the notification of the success / failure determination results corresponding to the hold symbol 70 of H3 is completed. It is maintained (refer FIG.10 (b) (c)).

  After the request time point, the rendering mode A is switched to the rendering mode B when the notification of the third determination result is completed. After the request time point, if new hold information (qualification determination information) (H4) is acquired, the notification effect (the identification symbol corresponding to the new hold information becomes the new hold information during the change) It switches to production mode B from the point in time which 80 starts fluctuation (refer to Drawing 10 (d)).

  As described above, in the present embodiment, even when the player requests switching of the effect mode, the effect mode is not switched immediately. Specifically, since the current rendering mode is maintained until all the reservations left at the request time are consumed, it is easy to control the rendering. For example, although it is conceivable that the presentation mode is switched from the next informing effect (next fluctuation) after the request time point, the time until the switching of the presentation mode is short with such a configuration, and the control load is reduced. While large (when a request for effect mode switching is issued immediately before the end of a certain notification effect, the effect mode has to be switched substantially simultaneously with the request time, and a speed corresponding to the switching can be obtained) In the present embodiment, since there is a time margin until switching of the rendering mode, this contributes to the reduction of the control load.

  Hereinafter, specific examples in which the matters related to the mode change are improved, embodied, modified, and the like 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 Controlling the change of the rendering mode as in the above embodiment is advantageous in a configuration in which the following prefetching rendering is mounted. The pre-reading effect suggests that the probability that the success or failure judgment result of the object is a hit during the notification effect about the success or failure judgment result of the destination where the notification is completed earlier than the success or failure judgment result of the object. Since the pre-reading effect itself is known, the detailed description is omitted.

  What is generated only when the current setting mode is a specific effect mode is set as one type of such pre-reading effect. In other words, pre-reading effect dedicated to a certain effect mode is set. For example, in the case where three types of effect modes A to C are set as the effect mode as in the above embodiment, this can occur only when the effect mode C is set to the current setting mode (effect mode A or B In this case, it is assumed that the pre-reading effect (which may be hereinafter referred to as a specific pre-reading effect C) is set. The specific aspect of the specific pre-reading effect C may be anything. For example, it can be considered to be a pre-reading effect in which the character C that is the motif of the effect mode C appears.

  It is assumed that it is decided to execute the specific pre-reading effect C when the effect mode C is set to the current setting mode. For example, there are four hold information H1 to H4 (the hold information during fluctuation (the hold symbol during fluctuation 71) (H1) and the three pre-change hold information (the suspension symbol before fluctuation 72) (H2, H3, H4)) In the state, the success / failure determination result corresponding to the hold information of H4 is set as the success / failure determination result of the target of the specific pre-reading effect C, and specified during the notification effect about the success / failure determination result corresponding to the hold information of H2 and H3 It is assumed that pre-reading effect C is to be executed. In this example, during the notification effect about the corresponding yes / no determination result corresponding to the hold information of H4 (during the notification effect of the pre-reading target), the effect assuming that the specific pre-reading effect C is executed ( An effect (for example, an effect using the character C); hereinafter referred to as the fluctuation effect) occurs during the informing effect of the pre-reading object (H4) executed while securing continuity from the pre-reading effect. Therefore, when the specific pre-reading effect C is executed, it is necessary to be in the effect mode C until the notification effect of the pre-reading object (H4) is finished. Based on that, it is assumed that the thing which includes the said fluctuation production is specific pre-reading production C. That is, the specific pre-reading effect C is executed during the informing effect about the result of the judgment of the pass / fail judgment corresponding to the suspension information of H2 to H4 (see FIG. 11A).

  In this case, even if a change from the rendering mode C to the rendering mode A is requested in the state where there are four suspension information H1 to H4, the result of the propriety determination result corresponding to the pre-variation suspension information of H4 The state in which the current setting mode is the effect mode C is maintained until the notification is completed (see FIGS. 11B and 11C). Therefore, it is possible to execute the specific pre-reading effect C (including the change effect) to the end. That is, for example, assuming that the configuration is such that switching to the rendering mode A is made before all of the reservations existing at the request time are digested, the specific pre-reading rendering C is not continued as it is ( Although it is necessary to control in the middle), there is an advantage that it is not necessary to perform such control.

Second Example After a request from the player to change to the desired mode is made (request time), a period until the change of the desired mode to the current setting mode is completed, that is, at the required time Display indicating that the change from the desired mode to the current setting mode has not been completed in the period until all pending reservations have been taken (hereinafter may be referred to as the change waiting period) (hereinafter, the change is not completed The display 40 may be called).

  For example, when a change to the effect mode C (desired mode) is requested from the effect mode B (current setting mode), a display such as “mode C waiting” is displayed as the change incomplete display 40 in the change standby period. (See FIG. 12). That is, by displaying that “(effect) mode C” is in the state of “standby”, the player has received a request for changing to the effect mode C, but the change has not been completed yet. Indicates that. In this manner, the change incomplete display 40 is such that the player can understand that "the player's desire for the effect mode change has been accepted" and "the change to the desired mode has not been completed yet". If it is By doing this, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of a situation where the player hates not to be changed to the desired mode (the player performs unnecessary operation so that the change to the desired mode is realized). Is possible). In addition, the change incomplete indication 40 does not have to be continuously displayed throughout the change waiting period. For example, it may be displayed during at least a part of the change waiting period, such as continuing to be displayed for a certain period after the change waiting period is started.

Third specific example After the player has made a request to change to the desired mode (at the request time), the change is made in the change standby period, which is the period until the change of the desired mode to the current setting mode is completed. It is assumed that a change completion schedule display 41 is made showing the timing when the schedule is to be completed.

  The change completion schedule display 41 uses the hold symbol 70. For example, a state in which there are three hold information H1 to H3 (the hold information during fluctuation (the hold symbol during fluctuation 71) (H1) and the two pre-change hold information (the suspension symbol before fluctuation 72) (H2, H3)) Then, it is assumed that a request for changing from effect mode A (current setting mode) to effect mode B (desired mode) is accepted. In this case, the production mode A (currently set) is made to point to the holding symbol 70 (the holding symbol 71 during fluctuation and the holding symbol 72 before fluctuation) indicating the presence of the holding information H1 to H3 (to accompany the holding symbol 70). The image showing mode) is displayed (refer FIG.13 (b)). That is, it indicates to the player that the effect mode A is maintained until the end of the digestion of the hold information (hold symbol 70) H1 to H3. Such a display is the change completion schedule display 41. The player who sees this is that the rendering mode A is maintained, that is, a change to the rendering mode B is performed thereafter, until the completion of the reserve information (pending symbol 70) H1 to H3 is completed. It will be understood. After the request time point, the number of the holding symbols 70 indicated by the change completion schedule display 41 decreases each time one holding is digested (see FIG. 13 (b) (c))

  In addition, unlike the above-mentioned example, the holding information (holding symbol 70) H4, H5, etc. acquired after the holding information (holding symbol 70) H1 to H3 are indicated (attached to these holding symbols 70) The image indicating the effect mode B (desired mode) may be displayed as the change completion schedule display 41 (see FIG. 14A). In this way, it is possible for the player to grasp that the effect mode B, which is the desired mode, is started from the notification effect corresponding to the hold information (hold symbol 70) H4.

  The above examples may be combined. That is, as shown in FIG. 14B, even if both the hold information (hold symbol 70) in which the current setting mode is maintained and the hold information (hold symbol 70) in which the desired mode is changed are displayed. Good.

  Further, the display method as described above is merely an example. It is only necessary to understand the timing at which the rendering mode actually switches. In short, at least one of the holding information (the holding symbol 70) at which the current setting mode ends and the holding information (the holding symbol 70) at which the desired mode is started may be understood. For example, as shown in FIG. 14C, an image showing between the reserved symbol 70 in which the current setting mode is maintained and the reserved symbol 70 in which the desired mode is changed is displayed as the change completion schedule display 41 You may

5) Retained light emitting part The probability (big hit reliability) that the result of the corresponding judgment will be a big hit is suggested by the mode of the reserved symbol 70 (during suspended symbol 71, pre-variation reserved symbol 72). In the present embodiment, a normal mode and three special modes (a first special mode to a third special mode) are set as the modes of the retention symbol 70. In the normal mode, the first special mode, the second special mode, and the third special mode, the jackpot reliability is set to be high (the normal mode is the lowest) (see FIG. 15). The aspect (special aspect) of jackpot determination may be set. A color is associated with each of the embodiments. In this embodiment, the normal mode is white, the first special mode is blue, the second special mode is green, and the third special mode is red (in the drawings, the color is indicated by characters). . A plurality of types of modes may be set as the normal mode and each special mode.

  The gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment includes a hold light emitting unit 50 (see FIG. 1). The reserved light emitting unit 50 is a portion including a color LED, and has a light emission mode corresponding to the mode of the reserved symbol 70. In the present embodiment, when any of the plurality of reserved symbols 70 is in a special mode, the reserved light emitting unit 50 emits light in a mode according to that (see FIG. 16). That is, when one of the plurality of reserved symbols 70 is in the first special mode, it is blue, when it is the second special mode, it is green, and when it is the third special mode, it is red. It emits light. In addition, when all the retention symbols 70 are in the normal mode, the retention light emitting unit 50 emits white light. However, when all the holding symbols 70 are in the normal mode, the holding light emitting unit 50 may be set not to emit light. Since there is only one reserved light emitting unit 50 provided in the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, it is not necessarily associated with any one of the plurality of reserved symbols 70.

  In addition, in this embodiment, since it is set so that the situation where two or more of a plurality of suspension symbols 70 (during suspension symbols 71, suspension symbols before variation 72) become special modes will not occur, it is a special aspect Even if the reserved symbol 70 is generated, it is only one, and the reserved light emitting unit 50 has a light emission mode according to the special mode of the one reserved symbol 70. However, a configuration in which a plurality of reserved symbols 70 may be in a special mode may be adopted. In this case, the hold light emitting unit 50 is set to a light emission mode corresponding to any one of the plurality of special modes (correspondence hold). There are various methods for determining the response suspension. For example, the so-called reserve pattern 70 with the earliest special order may be taken as the correspondence reserve. In addition, the special pattern holding symbol 70 having the highest jackpot reliability may be set as the correspondence holding.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, when any of the suspended symbol 71 during fluctuation and the suspended symbol 72 before fluctuation is in the special mode, the suspended light emitting unit 50 is in the light emission mode according to the special mode, but the fluctuation Only the middle hold symbol 71 may be targeted. That is, regardless of the mode of the pre-change suspension symbol 72, the light emission mode of the suspension light emitting unit 50 is controlled according to the aspect of one suspension symbol 71 during fluctuation.

  The position at which the holding light emitting unit 50 is provided is not particularly limited, but it is preferable that the position where the holding light emitting unit 50 corresponds to the aspect of the holding symbol 70 can be assumed by the player. In this embodiment, it is provided in the member which constitutes the first starting area 904a (the starting area of the special view 1) (see FIG. 1). Since the hold information (hold symbol 70) is obtained by the game ball winning in the first starting area 904a, the holding light emitting unit 50 is provided in the member constituting the first starting area 904a.

  In the present embodiment, it is possible to execute the on-hold change effect leading to the result that the aspect of the on-hold symbol 70 changes. The change in the aspect of the retention symbol 70 is limited to the direction in which the jackpot reliability increases. Not only changes from the normal aspect to any particular aspect, but also changes from one particular aspect to another may occur. Also, two or more stages of change may occur, such as changing from the normal mode to the second special mode, or changing from the first special mode to the third special mode.

  The on-hold change effect includes on-hold change turn effect (hereinafter, may be simply referred to as turn effect). The on-hold change effect is an effect for showing the player that the aspect of the on-hold symbol 70 may change. In the on-hold change presentation, it will lead to either a successful ending leading to a change in the aspect of the holding symbol 70 or a failure ending on which the aspect of the holding symbol 70 does not change after the turning effect. If the change in the mode of the holding symbol 70 is limited to the direction in which the jackpot reliability increases, the successful ending is an advantageous ending for the player, and the unsuccessful ending is an adverse ending for the player.

  The holding symbol 70 which is the target of the holding change presentation is set as a target holding symbol 70T (see FIG. 17A). In the turning effect, a display is made to show the player that the target holding symbol 70T displayed in the display area 911 is the target of the effect. If a plurality of reserved symbols 70 are displayed, it is clearly displayed that the other reserved symbols 70 and the target reserved symbols 70T are different. In the present embodiment, a display is made such that the lightness of the target reserved symbol 70T itself or the periphery thereof increases over time as the turning effect (see FIGS. 17B and 17C). That is, it is displayed as if the target holding symbol 70T is brighter than the other holding symbols 70.

  In addition to the display as described above being made in the display area 911 as the turning effect, the light emission mode of the holding light emitting unit 50 is set to the turning mode. In the present embodiment, the reserved light emitting unit 50 is set to a light emission mode as if the light amount increases with time. In other words, the light emission mode is as if the reserved light emitting unit 50 (see FIG. 17A) that was emitting light at a constant light amount before the occurrence of the turning effect, the light amount gradually increases simultaneously with the start of the turning effect. (See FIGS. 17 (b) and (c)). As described above, the light quantity (brightness) of the holding light emitting unit 50 is controlled so as to gradually increase along with the object holding symbol 70T displayed in the display area 911 being gradually brightened. It can be said that the effect of the aspect is such that the change of the target holding symbol 70T displayed in the display area 911 and the change of the holding light emitting unit 50 are linked.

  It is assumed that the color of the hold light emitting unit 50 at the time of the turning effect is associated with the color of the target hold pattern 70T. In other words, the color of the holding light emitting unit 50 before the generation of the turning effect is maintained in the turning effect. For example, if the target holding symbol 70T is in the normal mode, the emission color of the holding light emitting unit 50 in the turning effect is white. In other words, in the whirling effect, the brightness (light amount) of the white light is gradually increased (see FIGS. 17B and 17C). Similarly, for example, when the target holding symbol 70T is the second special mode, the light emission color of the holding light emitting unit 50 in the turning effect is set to green. That is, regardless of whether or not the on-hold change effect finally ends, the emission color of the on-hold light emitting unit 50 corresponding to the mode of the target on-hold symbol 70T before the generation of the effect is also maintained in the turning effect. Assuming that the on-hold change effect results in a successful ending, it means that in the on-side effect, the emission color of the on-hold light emitting unit 50 corresponding to the mode of the on-hold symbol 70 before the change.

  In the case where the on-hold change effect results in a successful ending, the target on-hold symbol 70T displayed in the display area 911 is set as an aspect (an aspect after change) corresponding thereto. In addition, substantially simultaneously with the change of the target holding symbol 70T, the light emission mode of the holding light emitting unit 50 corresponds to the change of the target holding symbol 70T. For example, if the mode after the change of the target holding symbol 70T is the third special mode, the light emitting mode (light emitting color) of the holding light emitting unit 50 is made red substantially at the same time as the successful ending (FIG. 18 (a )reference). When the pending change effect results in a failure, the aspect of the target pending symbol 70T is maintained, and the light emission aspect of the pending light emitting unit 50 also returns to the original state (see FIG. 18B).

  As described above, in the on-hold change effect in the present embodiment, it is easy to understand that the on-hold change may occur because the light emission mode of the on-hold light emitting unit 50 is the off-turn mode as the turn effect. In particular, the crawling aspect in the present embodiment is an aspect in which the light amount of the holding light emitting unit 50 gradually increases, and therefore, it is easy to grasp that the target holding symbol 70T is likely to change.

  Hereinafter, a specific example in which the matter relating to the on-hold change effect (the turning effect) is improved, embodied, modified or the like 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 The lighting aspect, which is the light emission mode of the holding light emitting unit 50 at the time of the staging effect, is not limited to that described in the above embodiment. Although it has been described that the light quantity is gradually (timely) increasing while maintaining the luminescent color in the above embodiment, the setting opposite to that, that is, the luminescent color is maintained. The light amount may be gradually (temporarily) reduced. In addition, it may be configured to blink while maintaining the luminescent color.

  In addition, it is also conceivable to adopt a whirling mode in which the light emission color of the holding light emitting unit 50 changes gradually (temporarily). For example, in a sting effect indicating that it may change from the normal mode (white) to the first special mode (blue), the light emission color gradually changes from white to blue (the element of “blue” becomes gradually stronger It becomes such a wandering aspect. In the case of a successful end, the light emission color is blue (light emission mode corresponding to the first special mode), and in the case of a failure end, the light emission color is white (light emission mode corresponding to the normal mode). That is, the luminescent color corresponding to the mode of the reserved symbol 70 before the change gradually approaches the luminescent color corresponding to the mode of the reserved symbol 70 that might change (in the case of a successful ending, the reserved pattern 70 after the change) It is good also as a rolling aspect which advances. In addition, in the case of the above-described rotation mode, the light amount may increase (or decrease) with time, or the light amount may be maintained.

Second Specific Example Although the gaming machine 1 according to the above embodiment includes only one reserved light emitting unit 50, the reserved light emitting unit 50 corresponding to each of the reserved symbols 70 may be provided. It is assumed that the same control as that of the above embodiment is executed for the holding light emitting unit 50 corresponding to the target holding symbol 70T of the holding change presentation (turning presentation).

Third Specific Example In the on-hold change effect, the on-hold light emitting unit 50 is not necessarily in a turning mode. In some cases, the reserved light emitting unit 50 may be in a turning mode during holding change effect production, or may not be a turning mode. Then, in the case where the reserved light emitting unit 50 becomes the turning mode, the ending of the held change presentation becomes a successful ending as compared with the case where the holding light emitting unit 50 does not become the turning mode (big hit reliability increases It is highly probable that the mode of the retention symbol 70 changes in the direction) (see FIG. 19). That is, it is set as the structure set as what is called a chance improvement that the holding | maintenance light emission part 50 will be a turning aspect. By doing this, it is possible to make an effect form in which the player pays attention to the aspect of the hold light emitting unit 50 when the hold change effect occurs.

Fourth Specific Example A configuration in which a plurality of rotation modes of the holding light emitting unit 50 are set. Specifically, even if the aspect of the target retention symbol 70T is the same, the configuration is not limited to such that the crawling aspect is the same each time. For example, when the target holding symbol 70T is in the normal mode, the first turning mode in which the light quantity is controlled to gradually increase in the light emission color of white and the second turning mode in which the light emission color of white is controlled to blink Is assumed to be set. That is, the light emission color is determined to correspond to the target holding symbol 70T, and the difference in the light emission mode is set by the other elements. And compared with the case where one turning mode generate | occur | produces, the end of a pending | holding change presentation becomes a more successful ending in the case where the other turning mode generate | occur | produces. It is assumed that the probability of the jackpot changing is high (see FIG. 20. Note that the magnitude relationship of the jackpot reliability may be reversed to that shown in FIG. 20). By doing this, it is possible to make an effect form in which the player pays attention to the aspect of the holding light emitting unit 50 at the time of the inclining effect.
