The benefit is a first benefit (for example, a first benefit for controlling the first chance state) and a second benefit that is more advantageous to the player than the first benefit (for example, in a specific state than the first chance state). Including a second benefit to control to a second chance state that is easy to shift,
The display means is a first display (for example, the chance image 321 shown in FIG. 4 (c)) which suggests the provision of the first benefit and a second display (for example, FIG. 4) which suggests the provision of the second benefit.
Perform the super chance image 330) shown in (f),
The second display is a specific display for the first display (for example, a second super image 3 shown in FIG.
31) is added.

(2) A gaming machine capable of playing a game (for example, slot machine 1),
Display means (for example, for example, for displaying a benefit (for example, the first benefit or the second benefit)
A sub control unit 91 for displaying an image on the liquid crystal display 51;
The display means is a first display (for example, the display of the precursor image 241 shown in FIG. 3 (b)) and a second display (for example, FIG. 3 (d)) having a higher expectation for the benefit than the first display. Display the super precursor image 250),
The second display is a specific display for the first display (for example, a first super image 2 shown in FIG. 3 (b)
51) is added.

(3) In the gaming machine according to (1) or (2),
The display means performs the second display by adding the specific display to the first display after performing the first display (for example, as shown in FIGS. 5 (b), (d), (f) Thus, after displaying the chance image 321, the second super image 331 is added to display the super chance image 330).

(4) In the gaming machine according to (1) or (2),
The display means is
When the first display is performed, a partial display that constitutes a part of the first display (for example, FIG.
After the display of the chance image 341 shown in (b), the first display (for example, as shown in FIGS. 6C and 6D) of the second super image 331 is performed without the specific display. Display the second chance image 325) without displaying
When the second display is performed, after the partial display is performed and the specific display is performed, the second display (for example, as shown in FIGS. 6E and 6F, the second super image 331 is displayed. After displaying
The second super chance image 332 is displayed.

(5) In the gaming machine according to (4),
When the first display is performed, the display unit performs the first display after performing the special display (for example, the display of the rush image 326 shown in FIG. 6C) after the partial display.
The special display is a display commonly included in the first display and the second display (for example, the rush image 326 is an image common to the second chance image 325 and the second super-chance image 323).

(6) In the gaming machine according to any one of the above (1) to (5),
It further comprises sound output means (for example, a sub control unit 91 that causes the speaker 52 to output a sound) that outputs a sound that suggests the provision of the benefit.
When the display means performs the second display, the sound output means outputs a sound indicating the provision of the benefit after the second display is performed (for example, as shown in FIG. 5E). In the case of displaying an image suggesting the provision of the second benefit consisting of the super chance image 330 and the frame image 340, after displaying the image, the sound of the “super chance zone” related to the second benefit is the speaker 53 Output from).

(7) In the gaming machine according to (6),
When the display means performs the second display, the sound output means outputs a sound (for example, a sound of "super") corresponding to the specific display (for example, a sound corresponding to the first display (for example, "
The output of the "chance zone" sound indicates the provision of a benefit.

First Embodiment
A mode for carrying out a gaming machine according to the present invention will be described below based on an embodiment. In the following embodiments, an example in which the present invention is applied to a slot machine will be described.

[overall structure]
FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing an example of the overall configuration of the slot machine. FIG. 1A is a schematic view showing an example of the main appearance configuration of the slot machine 1. FIG. 1B is a schematic diagram showing an example of the main internal configuration of the slot machine 1.

As shown in FIG. 1A, the slot machine 1 includes a liquid crystal display 51 for displaying an image, and a speaker 53 for outputting a sound. Below the liquid crystal display 51, a see-through window 3 is formed. The player can visually recognize the reels 2L, 2C, 2R juxtaposed inside the slot machine 1 through the see-through window 3. On each of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R, symbols, which are plural types of identification information that can be identified by each, are arranged in a predetermined order. Below the see-through window 3, there are a start switch 7 which is operated when starting a game and a stop switch 8L, 8C, which is operated to stop the rotation of the respective reels and derive the display result. 8R
And a presentation switch 56 for use in presentation, and a cross key 70 used to select an item.

As shown in FIG. 1B, the slot machine 1 is provided with a main control unit 41 for controlling the progress of the game and outputting various commands according to the progress of the game. The main control unit 41 includes a main CPU 41a that performs various controls related to the progress of the game, and a RAM 41c that stores various data related to the progress of the game. The main control unit 41 detects an operation on the start switch 7 and the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R, and performs control related to the progress of the game according to the detected operation. The control related to the progress of the game performed by the main control unit 41 is the control for the reels 2L, 2C, 2R, the control for payout of medals, the control based on the start switch 7, the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, etc. being operated And so on.

Inside the slot machine 1 is provided a sub control unit 91 which controls the effect in accordance with a command from the main control unit 41. The sub control unit 91 includes a sub CPU 91a that performs various controls related to effects, and a RAM 91c that stores various data related to effects. The sub control unit 91 controls display of an image on the liquid crystal display 51 and output of sound from the speaker 53 based on a command from the main control unit 41. Further, the sub control unit 91 detects an operation on the effect switch 56 or the cross key 70, and controls display of an image on the liquid crystal display 51 and output of sound from the speaker 53 in accordance with the detected operation. Effect data used for image display of the liquid crystal display 51 and sound output of the speaker 53 is stored in the RAM 91 c. The control of the effect performed by the sub control unit 91 includes control of the liquid crystal display 51, control of the speaker 53, control based on the operation of the effect switch 56, the cross key 70, and the like.

When playing a game in the slot machine 1, the player inserts a medal into a medal insertion portion (not shown) or operates a BET switch (not shown) to set a specified number of bets. As a result, the pay line LN becomes effective, and the operation to the start switch 7 becomes effective, and the game can be started. The winning line is a line for determining whether or not the combination of symbols on the reels 2L, 2C, 2R displayed in the see-through window 3 matches the combination of winning symbols.

When the start switch 7 is operated in a state where the game can be started, the main control unit 41 performs an internal lottery. The internal lottery is a process of determining a symbol combination (display result) which permits derivation. That the derivation of the symbol combination is permitted by the internal lottery is also said to have won the role corresponding to the symbol combination. After the main control unit 41 performs an internal lottery, the reel 2 is
A reel rotation process is performed to rotate L, 2C, and 2R. In the reel rotation process, the stop switches 8L to 8R are enabled after the reels 2L to 2R start to rotate on the condition that a predetermined time (for example, 4.1 seconds) has elapsed from the start of the reel rotation of the previous game. Stop the rotation of the reel according to the stop operation. In the reel rotation process, when a predetermined freeze condition is established, a freeze is performed to delay the progress of the game for a predetermined period (delay the activation of the stop operation of each of the stop switches 8L to 8R). After the freeze process is executed, the operation to the stop switches 8L to 8R is validated and the game is shifted to the normal game. Here, the freeze is a state of not accepting (or delaying) an operation for advancing the game. The operation for advancing the normal game includes an operation for setting the number of bets, a lever on operation (operation to the start switch 7), and a reel stop operation. That is, during the freeze, the game does not progress even if the player performs any operation (for example, the bet number is not set even if the BET switch is operated, and the start switch 7 is operated, The reel is kept stopped and the reel does not rotate).

When the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated and the rotation of the reel corresponding to the operated stop switch is stopped, the symbol combination is derived and displayed on the transparent window 3. Among the operations for the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R for stopping the rotation of the reels, the operation for stopping the rotation of the first reel is the first stop operation, and the operation for stopping the rotation of the second reels. Stop operation for the second operation, the third operation for stopping the rotation of the third reel
Also called stop operation. When a symbol combination that matches the symbol combination of the winning combination is stopped on the pay line LN, a winning corresponding to the winning combination occurs.

[Menu screen]
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the menu screen. The player can display a menu screen on the liquid crystal display 51 by operating the effect switch 56 and the cross key 70. When a predetermined operation is performed on the effect switch 56 at the timing when the menu screen can be displayed, the menu screen shown in FIG. 2A is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

In the menu screen, "payout table", "game data", "data accumulation", "game flow"
, And a plurality of items such as "effect setting" and "end of menu" are displayed in a selectable manner. When the menu screen is displayed, the item to be selected can be changed by operating the cross key. If the effect switch 56 is operated while the item is selected, the selected item Switch to the display for. In the example of FIG. 2A, "game flow" is selected.

For example, when the effect switch 56 is operated in the state shown in FIG. 2A, as shown in FIG. 2B, a flow image for explaining the transition of the stage on the effect performed in the slot machine 1 Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. The flow image shows the official name of the stage.

[Playing state and stage]
In the slot machine 1, a gaming state controlled by the main control unit 41 and a stage on an effect executed by the sub control unit 91 according to the gaming state will be described. The main control unit 41 transmits, to the sub control unit 91, a command capable of specifying which one of a plurality of types of states is being controlled. The sub control unit 91 grasps the gaming state based on the command from the main control unit 41, and executes effects according to various stages using the effect data stored in the RAM 91c. The stages controlled by the sub control unit 91 are the main control unit 4 respectively.
1 indicates the gaming state being controlled.

(Playing state)
The game state includes a normal state in which the rate of stay is high and an advantageous state in which the player is more advantageous than the normal state. The advantageous state includes a specific state in which it is easier to obtain gaming value than in the normal state or less likely to decrease in gaming value than the normal state, and a chance state in which it is easy to shift to the specific state. The chance state is the first chance state and the second state that is easier to shift to the specific state than the first chance state.
Including chance state.

The first chance state is controlled based on the first benefit, and the second chance state is controlled based on the second benefit. The first benefit and the second benefit are awarded, for example, in response to having won the lottery performed according to the result of the internal lottery.

(stage)
The stage on the effect controlled by the sub control unit 91 will be described with reference to FIG. The sub control unit 91 controls any one of the “normal stage”, the “precursor stage”, the “super precursor stage”, the “chance zone”, the “super chance zone”, and the “favorable stage”. The arrows in FIG. 2 (b) indicate the main transition path of the stage. For example, from the "normal stage", the transition mainly to the "precursor stage" or the "super precursor stage". The "precursor stage" or the "super precursor stage" mainly shifts to the "chance zone" or the "super chance zone". From the "chance zone" or the "super-chance zone", it mainly shifts to the "favorable stage" or the "normal stage". From the "favorable stage", we mainly shift to the "normal stage". The transition route shown in FIG. 2 (b) is the main transition route, and
Stages may be transitioned by other transition paths.

The "favorable stage" is a stage for informing that control has been made to a specific state. That is, the sub control unit 91 controls the advantageous stage during the specific state.

The "normal stage" is a stage that suggests that control is performed in the normal state. That is, the sub control unit 91 controls the normal stage with high probability during the normal state.

The "chance zone" is a stage which suggests that the first chance state is being controlled. That is, the sub control unit 91 controls the chance zone with high probability during the first chance state.

The "super chance zone" is a stage that suggests that the second chance state is being controlled. That is, the sub control unit 91 controls the super chance zone with high probability during the second chance state.

The first chance state is controlled based on the first benefit, and the second chance state is controlled based on the second benefit. Therefore, it can be said that the "chance zone" indicates the grant of the first benefit, and the "super-chance zone" indicates the grant of the second benefit.

The "precursor stage" and the "super precursor stage" are stages that indicate that the grant of the first benefit or the second benefit is determined. When comparing the "precursor stage" with the "super precursor stage", the "super precursor stage" is a stage with higher expectation regarding the first benefit or the second benefit than the "precursor stage". In addition, the expectation regarding the benefit is (1) the expectation when the grant of the benefit is determined, (2) the expectation for the fact that many benefits are given,
(3) Including the degree of expectation for the fact that the second benefit that is more advantageous than the first benefit is given.

[Precursor stage and ultra-prediction stage]
FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining the title display when shifting to the precursor stage or the extra-prediction stage. The precursor stage or the extra-prediction stage is shifted from the normal stage. A curtain effect is performed as a suggestive effect that suggests transition to the precursor stage or the hyper-precursor stage, and an image indicating that the transition to the precursor stage or the hyper-precursor stage is determined as a result of the curtain effect is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 (Fig. 3 (a)).

After that, when the start switch 7 is operated as an operation to start the game, a title display indicating which of the precursor stage and the super precursor stage is to be performed is displayed (FIG. 3 (b), (d) 2.) After a predetermined period has elapsed, the image is switched to the precursor stage or the super precursor stage (FIGS. 3 (c) and 3 (e)). Further, as shown in FIGS. 3C and 3E, an image corresponding to the stage name is displayed in the first stage name display area 260.

In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 3C and 3E, the background image of the precursor stage and the background image of the super precursor stage are the same, but different background images may be used. In addition, although the background image is the same, the effect in the extra-prediction stage may be more flashy than the effect in the pre-event stage.

(Curtain production)
The curtain effect is a suggestion effect that suggests transitioning to the precursor stage or the super precursor stage, and is executed over one game triggered by the establishment of a predetermined execution condition during the normal stage. Note that the game may be executed over a plurality of games, or may be executed in a period shorter than one game.

The curtain effect is an effect of opening the curtain 210 and fully opening the curtain 210 to display the first resultant image 220. The first result image 220 is configured of a cloud-shaped first frame image 230 and an information image 240 corresponding to information indicating the result. When showing the result of shifting to the stage more advantageous to the precursor stage or more, the sub-control unit 91 is a "precursor" as shown in FIG.
The character image (precursor image 241) is displayed as the information image 240. On the other hand, when indicating that control is continued to the normal stage without shifting to the precursor stage, the sub control unit 91
A continuous image (not shown, for example, a character image "Sorry") is displayed as the information image 240. Hereinafter, the sub control unit 91 displaying the precursor image 241 on the liquid crystal display 51 is also referred to as performing the first normal display.

The timing at which the entire first result image 220 is displayed may be the timing at which the third stop operation is performed, or may be the timing at which the effect switch 56 is operated.

(Title display)
After the result of transition to a stage advantageous to the precursor stage or higher is displayed as the first result image 220, that is, after the sub control unit 91 performs the first normal display, the main control unit 41 operates the start switch 7 If accepted (hereinafter, also referred to as “lever on”), a command indicating that the operation has been accepted is sent from the main control unit 41 to the sub control unit 91.
The sub control unit 91 displays a title based on the reception of the command.

The display pattern of the title display includes a pattern in which the first normal display is continuously performed and a pattern for changing to the first usage display using the first normal display. Here, “the first usage display using the first normal display” refers to the display of an image using at least a part of the images constituting the precursor image 241.

The pattern in which the first normal display is continuously performed is selected, for example, as shown in FIG. 3B, when transitioning to the precursor stage. That is, when moving to the stage with the lowest degree of advantage among the stages indicated by the precursor image 241, the first normal display for displaying the precursor image 241 is continuously performed. Specifically, in the example shown in FIG. 3B, the sub-control unit 91 erases the curtain 210 and continues to display the precursor image 241, which is the first normal display. The display of the first frame image 230 may be deleted when the lever is turned on, or may be displayed continuously.

The pattern to be changed to the first usage indication is selected, for example, as shown in FIG. Specifically, in the example illustrated in FIG. 3D, the sub-control unit 91 erases the curtain 210, and an ultra-precursor image in which the first super-image 251 of "super" is superimposed on the precursor image 241 as the first usage display. Display 250.

Here, the display of the precursor image 241 shown in FIG. 3 (b) reports the transition to the precursor stage, and the display of the hyper precursor image 250 shown in FIG. 3 (d) indicates the transition to the super precursor stage. It is informing. The prognostic stage and the extra-prediction stage are stages that suggest that the grant of the first benefit or the second benefit is determined. Therefore, the display of the precursor image 241 and the display of the extra precursor image 250 are provided with the first benefit or the second benefit, indicating that control to the chance state such as the first chance state or the second chance state is started. It can be said that.

In the present embodiment, when the lever on is performed during display of the precursor image 241 (during execution of the first normal display), the display may change to display of the super precursor image 250 (first use display), The interest of the game is improved.

Also, even if the lever is turned on while the precursor image 241 is being displayed (during the execution of the first normal display),
Since the display of the precursor image 241 may be continued without changing to the ultra precursor image 250, attention can be given to whether or not the change to the ultra precursor image 250 is made.

In addition, when control to the precursor stage is started, even if the lever is turned on during display of the precursor image 241 (during the execution of the first normal display), it does not change to the ultra precursor image 250, and the super precursor image When control to the stage is started, it changes to the hyper precursor image 250. Therefore, it is possible to focus attention on which of the precursor stage and the extra-prediction stage is controlled.

In addition, since the precursor image 241 is displayed as a result of the curtain effect performed as the suggested effect, the result of the curtain effect can be easily understood.

[Chance Zone and Super Chance Zone]
FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining the flow when moving to the chance zone or the super-chance zone. Transition to the chance zone or super chance zone from the precursor stage or the super precursor stage. Battle rendition is performed as a suggestion effect that suggests transition to the chance zone or the super-chance zone, and an image indicating that the shift to the chance zone or the super-chance zone is decided as a result of the battle rendition is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 (See Figure 4
b).

Thereafter, when the start switch 7 is operated to start the game, a title display indicating which stage of the chance zone or the super chance zone to shift to is displayed (FIGS. 4 (c), (d), (F)) After a predetermined period has elapsed, the image is switched to the image corresponding to the chance zone or the super-chance zone (FIGS. 4 (e) and (g)).

(Battle production)
The battle rendition is a suggested rendition that suggests transition to a chance zone or a super-chance zone, and is executed over a predetermined game until control to a precursor stage or a super precursor stage is ended and another stage is transitioned. Be done.

The battle effect is an effect in which the teammate character 311 and the enemy character 312 fight against each other, and by displaying an image showing the result of the battle and a second result image 320 corresponding to the information showing the result, the chance zone or the super It is an effect of informing the result of whether or not to shift to the chance zone. When showing the result of transition to a stage more advantageous than the chance zone, the sub control unit 91
Is an image showing the teammate character 311 winning as shown in FIG. 4 (b);
As a second result image 320, a character image "chance zone" (chance image 321) is displayed. On the other hand, in the case of shifting to the normal stage without shifting to the chance zone, the sub-control unit 91 generates an image indicating that the teammate character 311 is defeated, and the second result image 320.
As a normal stage image (not shown, for example, a character image "return to the normal stage")
And display. Hereinafter, the sub control unit 91 displaying the chance image 321 on the liquid crystal display 51 is also referred to as performing the second normal display.

In addition, the timing which displays the image which shows a battle result, and the 2nd result image 320 should just be the 2nd result image 320 displayed, after the image which shows a battle result is displayed, and displays the image which shows a battle result. The timing to perform and the timing to display the second resultant image 320 may not be the same timing. For example, after the image indicating the battle result is displayed when the third stop operation is performed, the second result image 320 may be displayed when the effect switch 56 is operated.

(Title display)
After the result of shifting to a stage advantageous to the chance zone or more is displayed as the second result image 320, that is, after the sub control unit 91 performs the second normal display, the main control unit 41 operates the start switch 7 If accepted (hereinafter, also referred to as “lever on”), a command indicating that the operation has been accepted is sent from the main control unit 41 to the sub control unit 91. The sub control unit 91 displays a title based on the reception of the command.

The display pattern of the title display includes a pattern of continuously performing the second normal display and a pattern of changing to the second usage display using the second normal display. Here, “the second usage display using the second normal display” refers to the display of an image using at least a part of the images constituting the chance image 321.

The pattern in which the second normal display is continuously performed is selected, for example, as shown in FIG. 4C, when transitioning to the chance zone. Specifically, in the example shown in FIG. 4C, the sub-control unit 91 deletes the images other than the chance image 321 (the ally character 311 and the enemy character 312 in FIG. 4B) and continues the chance image 321. While displaying, chance image 3
The second frame image 340 is displayed on the outer periphery of the image 21. Here, the second frame image 340 is merely an image that makes the effect flashy while the chance image 321 is a character image, and is an image that does not have information. Therefore, it is assumed that displaying the second frame image 340 is not to change the display of the chance image 321 to the use display.

The pattern to be changed to the second usage indication is selected, for example, when transitioning to the chance zone as shown in FIG. 4 (d) and when transitioning to the super-chance zone as shown in FIG. 4 (f).

When changing to the second use display when moving to the chance zone, as shown in FIG. 4D, the aspect of the area surrounded by the edge portion of the chance image 321 is changed to an aspect different from the chance image 321 The special chance image 322 is displayed.

When transitioning to the super-chance zone, as shown in FIG. 4F, the super-chance image 330 is displayed in which the second super-image 331 of “super” is added to the chance image 321.

That is, although the pattern for performing the second normal display and the pattern for changing to the second usage display can be selected when transitioning to the chance zone, switching to the second usage display when transitioning to the super-chance zone A pattern is selected.

Also, after the lever is turned on, when transitioning to the chance zone, a sound of "chance zone" is output from the speaker 53 as a sound corresponding to the chance zone, and when transitioning to the super-chance zone, the super-chance zone from the speaker 53 A "chance zone" sound is output as a sound corresponding to After the sub control unit 91 is turned on, as shown in FIG.
After switching to the display of (d) or (f), the speaker 53 outputs a sound.

Thereafter, as shown in FIGS. 4 (e) and 4 (g), the sub-control unit 91 erases the image used for displaying the title and switches to the background image for the stage, and the second stage name display area 3
Display the stage name at 50.

In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 4 (e) and 4 (g), the background image of the chance zone and the background image of the super chance zone are the same, but different background images are used. It is also good. In addition, although the background image is the same, the effect in the super-chance zone may be more flashy than the effect in the chance zone.

In the present embodiment, the timing at which the title is displayed is when the operation to the start switch 7 is performed, but after the second result image 320 is displayed as a result of the battle effect, to the effect switch 56 It may be when the operation of.

(Another example of the title display)
Another display example in the case of displaying a title will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 7. Fig. 5 (a)
6 (a) and 7 (a) are the same as FIG. 4 (b), respectively, so the description will be omitted. Moreover, in the example shown in FIGS. 5-7, freezing is performed during title display, and the presentation regarding the 2nd utilization display is performed during freezing.

(First example)
FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining a first example of title display. In the first example, when the start switch 7 is operated after the result of the battle effect is displayed, the freeze is executed, and the second super image 331 is enlarged and displayed before the super chance image 330 is displayed. In Figure 4 (
It differs from the example shown in f).

When the start switch 7 is operated, freezing is performed, as shown in FIG.
An image other than the chance image 321 displayed in the battle effect is deleted, and the second frame image 340 is displayed on the outer periphery of the chance image 321.

After that, when moving to the chance zone, as shown in FIG. 5C, without changing the display, the speaker 53 outputs a sound corresponding to the chance zone “chance zone”, and the freeze is finished and the stop is made. While the operation to the switches 8L to 8R is validated, FIG.
It switches to the display shown in (e).

On the other hand, when transitioning to the super-chance zone, as shown in FIG. 5D, the oversized second super-image 331 is displayed superimposed on the chance image 321. Then, as shown in FIG. 5 (e),
After the second super-image 331 is reduced and the super-chance image 330 in which the second super-image 331 is not superimposed on the chance image 321 is displayed, the sound corresponding to the super-chance zone of "super chance zone" is output from the speaker 53. It is output and freeze ends, and stop switch 8
While the operation to L-8R is validated, it switches to the display shown in FIG.4 (g).

(Second example)
FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining a second example of the title display. The second example is an example of switching from the second normal display to the second usage display even when transitioning to any stage of the chance zone and the super-chance zone. In addition, since it is common in FIG.5 (b) about FIG.6 (b), description is abbreviate | omitted.

In FIG. 6, the chance image 321 of "chance zone" is switched to the second chance image 325 of "chance zone entry" when shifting to the chance zone, and "super chance zone rushing" when shifting to the super-chance zone. Second super chance image 3
Switch to 32.

As a path where the chance image 321 is switched to the second chance image 325, a first path (path that directly switches from FIG. 6 (b) to FIG. 6 (d)) to be switched directly and a character image "rush" (rush image 326) The second route (see FIG. 6 (b) to FIG.
After switching to c), there is a route to be switched to FIG.

When switching to the second chance image 325 in the first route, the sub control unit 91 adds the rush image 326 while displaying the chance image 321 and displays the rush image 326 from the chance image 321. The second chance image 325 is switched to.

When the sub control unit 91 switches to the second chance image 325 in the second route, the sub control unit 91 illustrated in FIG.
As shown in, while the display of the chance image 321 is continued, the oversized rush image 326 is superimposed on the chance image 321 and displayed. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 6D, the sub control unit 91 uses the chance image 321 from the chance image 321 by reducing the rush image 326 so that the chance image 321 and the rush image 326 do not overlap. Second chance image 325
Switch to

When switching the chance image 321 to the second super-chance image 332, as shown in FIG. 6 (e), the sub-control unit 91 continues the display of the chance image 321, and the over-sized second super-image 331 is a chance image It is superimposed on 321 and displayed. Thereafter, the sub control unit 91 performs the process shown in FIG.
As shown in), the second super image 331 is reduced so that the chance image 321 and the second super image 331 do not overlap, and a rush image 326 “Push” is displayed to display the chance image 321 from the chance image Switch to the second super-chance image 332 using 321.

(Third example)
FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining a third example of the title display. The third example is another mode shown in FIG. 6 in which the chance image 321 is switched to the second super-chance image 332 using the chance image 321. In the example illustrated in FIG. 6, the second frame image 340 displayed on the outer periphery of the chance image 321 is continuously displayed. However, the second frame image 340 may be replaced with another image. For example, the second frame image 340 may be deleted to generate an effect for emphasizing the character image "super chance zone".

By generating effects, it is emphasized that transition to a super chance zone that is more advantageous than the chance zone, rather than the chance zone, and the interest of the game is improved.

In FIGS. 4 to 7, although the second frame image 340 is displayed at the lever on timing, the second frame image 340 may not be displayed.

[Example of control when displaying title]
The main control unit 41 transmits to the sub control unit 91 a command capable of specifying a period in which the freeze processing is to be performed, and the sub control unit 91 receives a sound corresponding to the stage from the speaker 53 during the freeze processing execution period. Display the title to be output. After that, the main control unit 4
1 transmits a command indicating that the freeze processing has been completed and the operation to the stop switches 8L to 8R has been validated to the sub control unit 91, and the sub control unit 91 displays the display of the liquid crystal display 51 as shown in FIG.
(E) or switches to the display shown in FIG.

The period in which the freezing process is performed may be designed to be selectable from among a plurality of types of periods, or may be designed in such a manner that only one type can be selected as the period in which the freezing process is performed.

In the case of a design that can be selected from among a plurality of types of periods as a period in which the freeze processing is performed, the sub-control unit 91 needs to execute effects in accordance with the period. On the other hand, when the design is such that only one type can be selected as the period for executing the freeze processing, the sub control unit 91
Since it is sufficient to prepare in advance only the effects along the relevant period, the processing load can be reduced compared to the case where a plurality of periods can be selected as the period for executing the freeze period.

In addition, in the case of a design in which only one type can be selected as a freeze processing execution period, the sub control unit 91 outputs the sound at the same timing regardless of what kind of title display is performed. The effect of the liquid crystal display 51 may be designed in the same manner. By doing this, it is not necessary to change the sound output timing depending on the type of title display, and the processing load imposed on the sub control unit 91 can be reduced.

In addition, even when the sub control unit 91 switches to any image among the chance image 321, the super chance image 330, the second super chance image 332, and the second chance image 324, the common image is The presentation may be performed using the same image data.
By sharing image data in this manner, the volume of effect data stored in the RAM 41 c can be reduced.

[Main effect]
(1-1) The chance zone is a stage indicating that the first chance state is controlled, and the super-chance zone is a stage indicating that the second chance state is controlled. Therefore, the display of the chance image 321, the display of the special chance image 322,
The display of the second chance image 324, the display of the super chance image 330, and the display of the second super chance image 332 are displays that indicate that control to the chance state is to be started.

In the present embodiment, when the lever is turned on while the chance image 321 is being displayed, the display of the image using the chance image 321 may be changed, so that the interest of the game is improved.

(1-2) As shown in FIG. 4C, the sub control unit 91 can continue to display the chance image 321 even if the lever is turned on while the chance image 321 is being displayed. Therefore, it can be noticed whether it changes to another image using the chance image 321.

(1-3) As shown in FIGS. 4 (d) and 4 (f), the sub control unit 91 displays the chance image 32.
When changing to another image using the chance image 321 during display of 1, the special chance image 322 shown in FIG. 4D or the super chance image shown in FIG. 4F as the display of the other image Display 330. Therefore, the player can be made to pay attention to whether the display changes to which display.

In the example shown in FIG. 4 of the present embodiment, the display shown in FIG. 4 (c), the display shown in FIG. 4 (d), and FIG. 4 (c) is not displayed, and it is configured to be changed to the display of another image using the chance image 321 without fail. It may be.

(1-4) As shown in FIG. 4D, when control to the chance zone is started, when changing to another image using the chance image 321, the chance image 321 changes to the special chance image 322. Change. On the other hand, when control to the super-chance zone is started, the chance image 321 changes to the super-chance image 330.

Therefore, it can be made to focus on which of the chance zone and the super-chance zone to shift to.

Also, the chance zone is a stage that is likely to be controlled to the first chance state,
The super-chance zone is a stage that is likely to be controlled to the second chance state. Therefore, it is possible to make the player pay attention to which state control is started.

(1-5) As shown in FIG. 4D, the special chance image 322 is a chance image 32.
It is a display using an edge portion of 1. Therefore, the player can easily recognize that the different image using the chance image 321 has been replaced.

(1-6) As shown in FIG. 4 (b), battle rendition is performed as a suggestion effect suggesting transition to the chance zone or the super-chance zone, and the chance image 321 is displayed as a result of the battle rendition. Therefore, the player can easily understand that the battle rendition is the rendition which suggested the transition to the chance zone or the super-chance zone, and the result of the battle rendition is easy for the player to understand.

(1-7) As shown in FIG. 5, the chance image 321 may change to the super-chance image 330 during freezing. Therefore, it can be noticed whether it changes to another image using the chance image 321 during freezing.

In the example shown in FIG. 4, the freeze is not performed, but the freeze may be performed. Further, when freeze is performed, as shown in FIG. 5, the second super image 331 may be superimposed on the chance image 321 and then displayed as a super chance image 330.

(2-1) The chance image 321 shown in FIG. 4 (c) means that control to the chance zone is started, and the super chance image 330 shown in FIG. 4 (f) has control to the super chance zone. Means to be started. The "chance zone" is a stage which suggests that the first chance state is controlled based on the first benefit. In addition, the “super-chance zone” is a stage that suggests that the second chance state is controlled to be more advantageous than the first chance state controlled based on the second benefit. Therefore, it can be said that the display of the chance image 321 shown in FIG. 4C is a display that suggests the provision of the first benefit. Similarly, FIG. 4 (f)
It can be said that the display of the super chance image 330 shown in is a display that suggests the provision of the second benefit. Therefore, it is possible to draw the player's attention on whether the indication indicates the provision of the first benefit or the indication suggesting the provision of the second benefit.

The super-chance image 330 is an image formed by adding the second super-image 331 to the chance image 321. That is, the display which suggests provision of a 2nd privilege is comprised by the display of the 2nd super image 331 being added to the display which suggests provision of a 1st privilege. Therefore, when the display which suggests grant of the 2nd privilege is performed, the data used when performing the display which suggests grant of the 1st privilege can be used, and the amount of the effect data memorized to RAM41c is reduced. Can.

As described above, it is possible to perform display regarding efficient benefits with reduced amount of information, and to perform display regarding effective benefits.

(2-2) The display of the precursor image 241 shown in FIG. 3 (b) means that the control to the precursor stage is started, and the display of the hyper precursor image 250 shown in FIG. 3 (d) is a super precursor. It means that control to the stage is started. The "super precursor stage" is a stage in which the degree of expectation regarding the first benefit or the second benefit is higher than that of the "precursor stage". In other words, super precursor image 250
The display of can be said to be a display in which the degree of expectation regarding the first benefit or the second benefit is higher than the display of the precursor image 241. Therefore, it is a display of the precursor image 241 or super precursor image 2
The player's attention can be drawn to whether the display is fifty. Further, since the ultra precursor image 250 is an image obtained by adding the first super image 251 to the precursor image 241, the data of the precursor image 241 can be used when the ultra precursor image 250 is displayed, and the effect stored in the RAM 41c. The amount of data can be reduced.

As described above, it is possible to effectively perform the display regarding the benefit while reducing the amount of information related to the display regarding the benefit.

(2-3) As shown in FIGS. 5B, 5D, and 5F, after the chance image 321 is displayed, the second super image 331 is added to display the super chance image 330. for that reason,
Attention can be drawn to whether the chance image 321 changes to the super-chance image 330, and the interest of the game is improved.

Also in the precursor image 241 shown in FIG. 3, after the display shown in FIG.
The display shown in d) may be made. Also in this case, the same effect as described above can be obtained.

(2-4) As shown in FIG. 6, even when the second chance image 325 is displayed, as shown in FIG.
Also when displaying the second super-chance image 332 shown in f), after displaying the common chance image 321 as shown in FIG. When the second chance image 325 is displayed without displaying the super image 331, and the second super image 331 is displayed when the second super chance image 332 is displayed, the second super chance image 332 is displayed. I do. Here, the display of the second super chance image 332 is the second chance image 3
The second super image 331 is added to the 25 displays.

Therefore, the effects up to FIG. 6B can be made common, and as a result, the data volume can be reduced. Also, attention can be drawn to whether or not the second super image 331 is displayed.

Also in the precursor image 241 shown in FIG. 3, after displaying a part of the display shown in FIG. 3B (for example, the precursor image 241), the first super image 251 is displayed, and then the first frame image 230
May be displayed to be displayed as shown in FIG. Also in this case, the same effect as described above can be obtained.

(2-5) As shown in FIG. 6 (c), when the display shown in FIG. 6 (d) is performed, as shown in FIG.
After the rush image 326 contained in common to the display shown in Fig. 6 (f) and the display shown in Fig. 6 (f) is displayed, the display shown in Fig. 6 (d) is performed.

Therefore, when the display which suggests grant of a 1st privilege is performed, since a display switches before it performs the said display, interest is produced in presentation.

Also in the prognostic image 241 shown in FIG. 3, after displaying a part of the display shown in FIG. 3B (for example, the prognostic image 241), the first frame image 230 is displayed, and FIG. 3B is displayed. It may be displayed as shown. Also in this case, the same effect as described above can be obtained.

(2-6) As shown in FIG. 5 (e), FIG. 6 (f), and FIG. 7 (d), in the case where the display indicating the provision of the second benefit is performed, after the display is performed, the second An audio of “super chance zone” related to the benefit is output from the speaker 53. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent the player from realizing that the sound is indicative of the provision of the second benefit or the suggestion of the first benefit before the display indicating the provision of the second benefit is performed. it can.

Also in the case of displaying the ultra-precursor image 250 shown in FIG. 3, the sound of “super-precursor” may be output after the super-precursor image 250 is displayed. Also in this case, the same effect as described above can be obtained.

(2-7) As shown in FIG. 4 (f), FIG. 5 (e), FIG. 6 (f) and FIG. The sound of the zone
Output from The "super" sound in the "super chance zone" is a sound corresponding to the display-specific second super image 331 indicating the provision of the second benefit. On the other hand, the sound of "chance zone" is a sound corresponding to the chance image 321 called "chance zone" displayed during display suggesting the grant of the first benefit, and is displayed on the display suggesting the grant of the first benefit. It is a corresponding sound. That is, after the sound peculiar to the display indicating the provision of the second benefit is output first, the sound corresponding to the display common to the display suggesting the provision of the second benefit and the display suggesting the provision of the first benefit Is output. Therefore, since the player can hear the display-specific sound suggesting the provision of the second benefit earlier, the voice can accurately indicate that the display suggesting the provision of the second benefit has been made.

Even when the super precursor image 250 shown in FIG. 3 is displayed, after the sound corresponding to the first super image 251 peculiar to the super precursor image 250 “super” is output, the precursor image 241 “precursor” and the like. A sound corresponding to an image common to the ultra precursor image 250 may be output. Also in this case, the same effect as described above can be obtained.

[Other effects]
(1) As shown in FIG. 3 (d), when transitioning to the super precursor stage, a character image of super is displayed at the center of the characters of the precursor.

Therefore, is the player the title displayed as the super precursor image 250 "super precursor",
Although there is a possibility that it is "precedent" or which one is the correct reading method, in the present embodiment, since the official name of each stage is displayed in the flow image of the menu screen, the player can If confirmed, it is possible to specify how to read the character information indicated by the hyper precursor image 250. Further, as shown in FIG. 4D, the first stage name display area 260 also displays a character image of "very early" corresponding to the stage name, so that the player can easily grasp how to read correctly.

(2) As shown in FIG. 3D, when displaying the first usage display, the super image 251 is added to the first normal display. The super image 251 is an image which is clearly different from the precursor image 241 corresponding to the first usage display, so that the player can easily understand that the display has changed.

Similarly, even when the second usage display is performed, FIG. 4 (f), FIG. 5 (d), (e) and FIG.
As shown in d), (e), and FIGS. 7 (c), (d), the super image 331 is a super image 331.
Since the image is not included in the other images displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 at the timing when the is displayed, the player can easily understand that the display has changed.

[Modification]
As mentioned above, although the main embodiment in this invention was described, this invention is not limited to said embodiment, A various deformation | transformation and application are possible. Hereinafter, modified examples of the above-described embodiment applicable to the present invention will be described.

[First benefit and second benefit]
In the present embodiment, although the first benefit and the second benefit are the benefits for controlling the chance status to be easily shifted to the specific status, it may be a value for improving the degree of advantage for the player, Not only the value that directly affects the payout rate of value, it may be a value that does not directly affect the payout rate. Values that do not directly affect the payout rate include, for example, execution of a highly reliable presentation, execution of a premium presentation that can not normally be viewed, and a set value (a value for setting a payout rate of a gaming machine). Including the execution of the effect to suggest.

Further, in the present embodiment, the second benefit is that the second benefit is a benefit for controlling to a second chance state that is easier to shift to the specific state than the first chance state controlled by the first benefit. Is a benefit that is more advantageous than the first benefit. However, the second benefit is (1) a benefit for controlling to a more advantageous state than the state controlled by the first benefit, (2) a benefit for which the period for controlling to a more advantageous state than the first benefit is long 3) There may be a benefit or the like in which the amount of benefit given at one time is larger than that of the first benefit.

[Title display when transitioning to a precursor stage or a super precursor stage]
In the present embodiment, the pattern for changing the first normal display to the first usage display is performed when transitioning to the super precursor stage, but even when transitioning to the precursor stage, the first normal display is switched to the first usage display. You may display the pattern which changes to a utilization display. For example, when transitioning to the precursor stage, the sub-control unit 91 changes the mode of the area surrounded by the edge portion of the precursor image 241 to a mode different from that of the precursor image 241 as the “first usage display”. Display or precursor image 2
In addition to 41, an image to which a character image "to stage" is added may be displayed.

As the “first usage display”, the aspect of the area surrounded by the edge portion of the precursor image 241 is the precursor image 2
When displaying an image changed to a mode different from 41, the edge portion of the character is used as it is, and the mode of the area surrounded by the edge changes. Therefore, the player can easily recognize that the first normal display has been changed to the first usage display.

When transitioning to the ultra-precursor stage or transition to the precursor stage, when the first normal display changes to the first usage display, an ultra-precursor image depending on whether to transition to the ultra-prediction stage or transition to the precursor stage Whether the display of 250 is performed or the display of an image different from the hyper precursor image 250 is performed changes. Therefore, it is possible to make the player pay attention to which display changes.

In the present embodiment, when performing title display in the case of transition to the precursor stage or the extra-prediction stage, although an example in which freeze is not performed is exemplified, freeze may be performed. With such a configuration, whether or not the display changes during freezing,
Or, it can be made to notice what kind of display changes.

Further, in the present embodiment, as a trigger to change from the first normal display to the first usage display,
Although the operation to the start switch 7 is accepted, it may be changed with another operation. Other operations include, for example, an operation on the effect switch 56, an operation on the stop switches 8L to 8R, an operation on the touch panel when the liquid crystal display 51 is a touch panel, and the like. The other operation may be any operation performed by the player on the gaming machine, and may be an operation detected by the main control unit 41 or an operation detected by the sub control unit 91.

[Suggestive production and title display]
In the present embodiment, an example in which the title display is performed after the suggestion effect (the curtain effect or the battle effect) is performed has been described. However, as a series of effects relating to the title display without performing the suggestive effect, after performing the normal display, based on the fact that the predetermined operation is performed, it may be changed to the use display using the normal display or not changed It may be such that an effect is performed.

For example, a normal display is performed based on the fact that the start switch 7 has been operated,
Thereafter, the normal display may be changed to the use display by performing the first stop operation. Further, the normal display may be performed based on the third stop operation being performed, and thereafter, the normal display may be changed to the use display when the effect switch 56 is operated.

[A game machine]

In addition, it may be a so-called pachinko gaming machine. Near the center of the game area of the pachinko gaming machine, an effect display device corresponding to the display means is provided. When the game ball wins a predetermined winning opening, the special variation display device variably displays at least one of the special first special symbol and the second special symbol, and in the effect display device, the first special symbol and the second special symbol The variable display (also referred to as variable display, update display, or cyclic display) of the effect pattern (decorative pattern) synchronized with at least one of the variable display is performed. The fluctuation display of the effect pattern is executed in various fluctuation modes such as scroll display and in-situ switching display. The effect display device corresponds to a variable display device that performs variable display of effect symbols (decorative symbols) as plural types of identification information that can identify each. In the effect display device, an effect symbol display area for displaying an effect pattern on the display screen is provided, and in the effect symbol display area, for example, three (plural) of “left”, “middle” and “right” There is a symbol display area as a display area in which the effect pattern is variably displayed. Each of these three production | presentation design is a production | presentation design as multiple types of identification information which can identify each.

In the pachinko gaming machine, the game ball has won a predetermined winning opening, but a predetermined start condition (when not being in big hit and when the variable display due to the pending storage started earlier has ended) is established If not, it is stored as pending storage information within a predetermined upper limit (for example, four). Here, the holding memory information is, for example, a specific gaming state (for example, a big hit state)
It is information for specifying whether or not to control.

Here, the jackpot state is an advantageous state in which the game ball is likely to be paid out as a winning ball. In the pachinko gaming machine, as a state more advantageous than the normal state, in addition to the big hit state, for example, a state where the probability of being controlled to the big hit state is high, a state where the gaming ball is likely to win a predetermined winning opening, It is possible to control in an advantageous state in which the period for displaying variable is short.

The pachinko gaming machine stops and displays the display result corresponding to the big hit combination in the symbol display area when controlling to the big hit state. In pachinko machines having multiple types of jackpot states, different jackpot combinations are set for different types of jackpot states, and the player is started to control which jackpot state based on the jackpot combination Can be identified.

A pachinko gaming machine includes a main control unit that controls the progress of a game and a sub control unit that executes control of an effect. The pachinko gaming machine is provided with a screen operation switch (corresponding to the cross key 70), a stick controller, and a trigger button (corresponding to the effect switch 56), in addition to the hitting operation handle for firing a hitting ball (game ball). The sub control unit of the pachinko gaming machine can detect the operation of the screen operation switch, the stick controller, and the trigger button, the screen operation switch, the stick controller, and the trigger button are electrically connected to the sub control unit. It is connected. The player operates the operation means such as the stick controller and the screen operation switch connected to the sub control unit at a predetermined timing to perform menu operation and display a menu screen for performing effect setting It is possible.

In the pachinko gaming machine, among the plural types of jackpot states, the suggestion of which jackpot state is to be controlled is performed by the suggested effect and the title display described with reference to FIGS.

For example, a pachinko machine performs reach control to be started to control the jackpot state. The pachinko gaming machine may have a plurality of types of reach effects, and may perform the title display shown in FIGS. 3 to 7 as the title display of the reach effects. Here, reach production is
