  Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In the gaming machine 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1A, the progress of the game is controlled by a game control board not shown, the effect is controlled by a presentation control board not shown, Driving power is generated and supplied to each component. The game control board includes the main control unit 41, and the effect control board includes the sub control unit 91. The sub control unit 91 includes a sub CPU (Central Processing Unit) 91a, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 91b, and a RAM (Random Access Memory) 91c, as shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 1A, the operation control unit 7 and the setting value indicator 24 are connected to the game control board, and the setting value indicator 24 is driven based on control by the main control unit 41. Further, the lower panel (rendering means) 50, the liquid crystal display (display means) 51, and the effect switch 56 are connected to the effect control board, and these effect devices 50, 51 are connected to the sub control unit 91. It is driven based on control by. Further, the setting key switch 37, the reset / setting switch 38, and the power switch 39 are connected to the power supply substrate 101.

  When the power switch 39 is operated by a store clerk or the like in the game shop with the front door of the gaming machine 1 opened, and the power supply to the gaming machine 1 is started, the main control unit 41 and the sub control unit 91 respectively Start the startup process. The main control unit 41 executes initialization processing and the like for controlling the operation unit 7 in the startup processing. The operation unit 7 is, for example, in the case of a slot machine, a bet number setting button capable of setting the bet number, a start switch for starting rotation of the reel, a stop switch for stopping the reel, etc. In the case of a gaming machine, it is a bat operating handle or the like for firing a gaming ball. When the activation process is completed, the main control unit 41 enables control for activating the reception of the operation to the operation unit 7 to advance the game (normal control is underway), and the player operates the operation unit 7 It is possible to play a game. At this time, the main control unit 41 transmits a start command indicating the start of normal control to the sub control unit 91.

  On the other hand, the sub control unit 91 executes initialization processing and the like of the liquid crystal display 51 and the like in the startup processing. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 1B, no image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 during the start-up period in which the start-up process is being performed, but the sub control unit 91 is in the start-up period. As an example of the effect, lighting of the lower panel 50 (lighting of illumination light) is performed. In addition, in order to perform such control, the lower panel 50 of this embodiment can be lighted without performing the initialization process. Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1B, the area where the lower panel 50 is lit is wider than the area where the image of the liquid crystal display 51 is displayed.

  The sub control unit 91 shifts to a preparation period until preparation of an image display control until the start command is received from the main control unit 41 after the start processing ends (after the start period elapses). At this time, as shown in FIG. 1B, the sub-control unit 91 turns off the lower panel 50 and causes the liquid crystal display 51 to display the image in preparation. Here, the image in preparation is an image indicating that preparation for display control of the image is being performed. In the present embodiment, although the lower panel 50 is turned off after the start period, the lighting may be continued after the start period, for example, the lighting may be continued until the preparation period has elapsed, and the normal control is performed. You may continue lighting during the same period.

  When the sub control unit 91 finishes preparation for image display control during the preparation period and receives a start command from the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 displays on the liquid crystal display 51 that the main control unit 41 is under normal control ( For example, the effect image or the like is displayed. The main control unit 41 transmits various commands in accordance with the progress of the game, and the sub control unit 91 performs effect control based on control information of the command received from the main control unit 41. Although the effect is performed using, for example, the lower panel 50, the liquid crystal display 51, etc., the present invention is not limited to this, and a speaker, an LED, a character or the like (not shown) may be used.

  Further, after the game is started by the operation of the operation unit 7 by the player, the main control unit 41 can shift to an advantageous state advantageous to the player according to the result of the game. For example, in the case of a slot machine, transition to an advantageous state is made according to a symbol derived by stopping the reel, and in the case of a pachinko gaming machine, variation display of symbols is started by winning the game ball to the start winning opening. , Transition to the advantageous state according to the symbol derived and finished the variable display. It should be noted that in the advantageous state, in the slot machine, a bonus (for example, BB (big bonus), RB (regular bonus), CB (challenge bonus)) which improves the probability of winning a small winning combination, and an operation advantageous to the player. In the case of an AT or the like in which navigation is performed by notifying a procedure, and in the case of a pachinko gaming machine, it is a big hit gaming state or the like in which a round game advantageous to a player can be executed a predetermined number of times.

  When the control of the advantageous state is started, the main control unit 41 transmits to the sub control unit 91 a gaming state command including control information indicating that the gaming state is the advantageous state. Further, after specifying that the main control unit 41 is controlled to the advantageous state based on the gaming state command received from the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 performs the effect control according to the advantageous state . For example, as will be described later, the challenge effect presentation is executed during control of the advantageous state, or the termination effect described later is executed when the control of the advantageous state is terminated.

  In the sub-control unit 91 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the sub-CPU 91 a is controlled based on the game state command received from the main control unit 41 and after the previous control of the advantageous state is completed. A period (non-advantage period) until control of the advantageous state is started is timed using a non-advantage period timer stored in the RAM 91 c. For example, if the sub CPU 91a is a slot machine, it counts the period from the end of the previous bonus or AT control to the start of the current bonus or AT control, and if it is a pachinko gaming machine, it is the last The period from the end of control of the jackpot state etc. to the start of control of the present jackpot state etc. is timed. In the present embodiment, the non-advantage period is measured using the non-advantage period timer. However, the present invention is not limited to the timer. For example, in the case of a slot machine, the number of games in the normal state is counted using a game number counter. Alternatively, if it is a pachinko gaming machine, the number of times of variation (the number of special drawing games) of the specific symbol may be counted. Further, for example, the number of times of lottery whether to control in an advantageous state may be counted using a lottery number counter. That is, in this embodiment, the sub control unit 91 sets the length of the non-advantage period to time, but the number of games (if the gaming machine 1 is a slot machine, the number of games, if the gaming machine 1 is a pachinko gaming machine It may be the special drawing game number) or the number of times of drawing.

[About setting value]
In the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the probability that a benefit advantageous to the player is provided changes in accordance with the set value. For example, in the case of a slot machine, the payout rate of medals is determined by using a winning probability according to a set value in an internal lottery or an AT lottery which determines whether or not a bonus combination or small winning combination is permitted. In the case of a pachinko gaming machine, the payout rate is changed by using a probability of winning according to a set value in a big hit lottery or the like. The setting value is composed of six steps of 1 to 6 (setting 1 to setting 6), 6 being the highest payout rate, and the payout rate becomes lower as the values become smaller in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. That is, when 6 is set as the set value, the degree of advantage is the highest for the player, and the degree of advantage decreases stepwise as the values become smaller in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. The set values may be set in three steps of 1, 3, 6, 1, 4, 4, H (High), etc., or 7 steps of 1 to 7, and it is not necessary to limit to 6 steps.

  In order to change the setting value, it is first necessary to turn on the setting key switch 37 and then operate the power switch 39 to turn on the power of the gaming machine 1 with the front door of the gaming machine 1 opened. is there. When the power is turned on with the setting key switch 37 in the ON state, the setting value read from the RAM (not shown) of the main control unit 41 is displayed as a display value on the setting value display 24. Move to the setting change state (setting change mode) where value change operation is possible. In the setting change state, when the reset / setting switch 38 is operated, the display value displayed on the setting value display 24 is updated one by one (when the setting 6 is further operated, the setting is returned to the setting 1) . Then, when the operation unit 7 is operated, the display value is determined as the setting value. Then, when the setting key switch 37 is turned off, the determined display value (setting value) is stored in the RAM, and the state shifts to a state in which the game can be progressed. At this time, the main control unit 41 transmits a setting command (end) indicating the end of the setting change state to the sub control unit 91, and the address of the initialization target RAM at the time of setting change end is set to initialize the RAM. Is done. The setting value may not be changed if the front door of the gaming machine 1 is not opened, and unauthorized setting change in a state where the front door is not opened may be prevented. That is, the opening of the front door, the operation of turning on the setting key switch 37, and the operation of the power switch 39 may be set as the start condition of the setting change state. In this case, the setting value change state may be maintained regardless of the opening and closing of the front door until the setting key switch 37 is turned off. That is, even when the opening of the front door is set as the start condition of the setting change state, the opening and closing of the front door may not be set as the termination condition of the setting change state.

  Further, in order to confirm the setting value, the front door of the gaming machine 1 may be opened and the setting key switch 37 may be turned on in a state where a game is not being performed. If the setting key switch 37 is turned on in such a situation, the setting value read out from the RAM is displayed on the setting value display 24 so that the setting confirmation can be made (setting confirmation mode). Transition. In the setting confirmation state, the progress of the game can not be performed, and by setting the setting key switch 37 to the OFF state, the setting confirmation state is ended, and the state in which the game can be progressed is restored. In the setting value confirmation state, as in the setting value change state, even if the front door is not opened, the setting value can not be changed, and even if the front door is not opened, unauthorized setting confirmation can be prevented. Good. That is, the opening of the front door and the operation of turning on the setting key switch 37 may be set as the start condition of the setting confirmation state. In addition, even when the opening of the front door is set as the start condition of the set value confirmation state, the opening and closing of the front door may not be set as the end condition of the set value confirmation state.

[About the production in the advantageous state]
In the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 performs the eye-catching challenge effect during the period (the advantageous period) in which the main control unit 41 performs control of the advantageous state. Here, with regard to eye-catching challenge effect, a pseudo-game is performed in which the eye-pushing challenge screen shown in FIG. 4 is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 and the reels are variably displayed as in the gaming in the slot machine. When the player operates the operation unit 7 with so-called press, it is an effect to ask whether the display result in which the bonus symbol ("7") is aligned on any line is derived.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3A, the sub control unit 91 displays a screen including a character image of “Aim for 7 !!” and a moving image in which the reels of the slot machine are variably displayed. After displaying, the variable display of each reel is stopped one by one in response to the stop operation by the effect switch 56 (not shown), and the display result is derived. In addition, when the sub control unit 91 succeeds in eye-pressing (succeeding in 7 alignments), as shown in FIG. 3B, after the still image in which “7” s are aligned is displayed, “success! When a screen including a character image of “” is displayed, but the eye pressing fails (7 alignment failure), as shown in FIG. 3C, a still image in which “7” is not aligned is displayed. After that, a screen including a character image of “Failure ...” is displayed. In the present embodiment, although pushing is performed by the operation of the effect switch 56, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the operation may be performed by the operation unit 7. That is, the operation means used for the visual impression challenge effect is not limited to the operation means connected to the sub control unit 91, and may be the operation means connected to the main control unit 41. In this case, in order to derive the display result, for example, it is necessary to transmit to the sub control unit 91 a command including control information to the effect that the operation unit 7 has been operated while the main control unit 41 is performing the challenge effect. is there.

  In the present embodiment, there is a possibility that the sub control unit 91 executes the eye-catching challenge effect a plurality of times in the advantageous period. For example, the sub-control unit 91 may execute the eye-challenge challenge effect every predetermined period (for example, 30 seconds) during the control of the advantage state, and the eye-challenge challenge effect every predetermined period during the control of the advantage state A lottery may be performed to determine whether or not to execute, and when the player wins, a target impression effect may be performed. Further, in the sub control unit 91 according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the sub CPU 91a counts the number of successful eye presses (the number of successful eye impressions) using the number of successful eye appearance counters stored in the RAM 91c. doing. Specifically, the sub CPU 91a counts the number of times of success in eye-pressing by adding +1 to the number of times of success in eye-pressing when the effect of eye-pressing challenge is executed and the eye-pressing succeeds. The sub CPU 91a resets the counter for the number of times of successful pressing to 0 after ending the control of the advantageous state.

  In addition, the sub control unit 91 executes an end effect when the main control unit 41 ends control of the advantageous state. Here, the end effect is an effect of displaying on the liquid crystal display 51 an end screen of one of the effect patterns among the plurality of effect patterns shown in FIG. 4. Specifically, the sub-control unit 91 is a "basic pattern" which is an effect pattern that displays an end screen including character images of "-END-" shown in FIG. 4 (C), which is an effect pattern that displays an end screen including character images of “1”, “−END−” shown in FIG. 4 (B), and “Today is okay!” "High setting suggestion pattern 1" which is an effect pattern that displays an end screen including the character images of "-END-" and "Today is an advantageous setting?" Shown, and "-END" shown in FIG. "High setting suggestion pattern 2" which is an effect pattern that displays an end screen including character images of "-" and "Today is an advantageous setting !!", "-END-" and "-" shown in FIG. Today is the best setting for you !!! " End screen of the effect pattern selected from among any of the effect pattern as a demonstration pattern for displaying the end screen "Configuration 6 definite pattern" including displaying the.

  In the present embodiment, the basic patterns (“basic pattern 1” and “basic pattern 2”) are preset as effect patterns to be normally selected regardless of the setting value at the end of the control of the advantageous state. ing. In addition, the high setting suggestion pattern (specific mode, "high setting suggestion pattern 1", "high setting suggestion pattern 2") indicates that the setting is high (setting 4 to setting 6) at the end of the control of the advantageous state. It is preset as an effect pattern to be selected. The set value determination pattern (special mode, “setting 6 determination pattern”) is selected as an effect pattern to be notified that setting 6 is set only when setting 6 is set at the end of the control of the advantageous state. It is set in advance.

[About the selection table of the effect pattern of the end effect]
In the sub control unit 91 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the sub CPU 91a refers to a selection table selected from among a plurality of types of selection tables stored in the ROM 91b when executing the end effect. Select the effect pattern of the end effect. In the present embodiment, the sub CPU 91a refers to the selection table on the basis of the number of times of successful pressing and the non-favorable period acquired with reference to the successful counter of the number of successful pushing and the non-favorable period timer stored in the RAM 91c. Specifically, the sub CPU 91a sets the length of the non-advantage period to a normal period (for example, 3 minutes or more, 10 minutes 30 minutes, etc.) longer than a specific period (for example, a time less than 3 minutes, 2 minutes 50 seconds, etc.). If it is seconds, etc., regardless of the number of successful pressings, in the case of setting 1, the first normal selection table, in the case of setting 2, the second normal selection table, in the case of setting 3, the third normal selection table, setting 4 If there is the fourth normal selection table, if the setting is 5, the fifth normal selection table, and if the setting 6, the sixth normal selection table is referred to, and the effect pattern is selected. The sub CPU 91a selects the effect pattern with reference to the specific selection table regardless of the setting value if the number of successful pressing is up to one when the length of the non-advantage period is the specific period. The sub CPU 91a sets the first special selection table if setting 1 and the second special if setting 2 if the number of successful pressing is two or more when the length of the non-advantage period is a specific period. Refers to the selection table, the third special selection table for setting 3, the fourth special selection table for setting 4, the fifth special selection table for setting 5, and the sixth special selection table for setting 6. To select a presentation pattern.

The specific period is a period in which it is easy to guess whether the player is in the high setting (setting 4 to setting 6) when control of the advantageous state is started. Here, when the non-advantage period is the number of games (the number of games for slot machines, the number of special-purpose games for pachinko machines) or the number of lottery times whether to be controlled in an advantageous state, the specific period The number of games and the number of times of drawing that the player can easily guess may be high. For example, when the selection rate of the lottery whether to be controlled to the advantageous state is high setting, 1/30 or more (for example, the selection ratio of setting 4 is 1/30, the selection ratio of setting 5 is 1/25, setting In the case where the winning rate of 5 is 1/20, if the gaming machine is to perform the lottery for each game, an arbitrary number of games (for example, 15 games or less) having a specific period of 30 or less and a reciprocal of 1/30. ) May be used. In this case, for example, if it is a gaming machine that shifts to a latent period of up to 10 games after winning, the number of games including 10 games of the latent period may be added (for example, 35 games by adding 10 games to 25 games) . Further, for example, if the gaming machine has a winning rate set to three times that of the other games only for the tenth game from the end of control of the previous advantageous state in the lottery, the number of games including at least the tenth game is included in the specific period. (For example, 10 games, 15 games) may be used. Also, for example, after performing the lottery for every one game from the end of control of the previous advantageous state to the fifth game, it is determined whether or not the lottery is performed for every one game after the sixth game or every five games The specific period may be five games if it is a gaming machine that performs the lottery. In addition, in the case of a gaming machine which determines whether or not the lottery is to be performed for each game, the specific period may be set to any lottery number (for example, 15 times) equal to or less than 29 times.
In this embodiment, the specific period is set to less than 3 minutes (for example, 2 minutes and 50 seconds), but this is to digest the number of games and the number of times of drawing when the player plays a game as usual. It is exemplified as the time required, and it is not limited to this, and any time may be used as long as it is a time required to digest the number of games and the number of times of drawing that the player can easily guess whether or not the setting is high.

  As shown in FIG. 5, in various selection tables, effects of "basic pattern 1", "basic pattern 2", "high setting suggestion pattern 1", "high setting suggestion pattern 2", and "setting 6 finalization pattern" The selection rate for each pattern is set in advance. Specifically, in the first normal selection table, as shown in FIG. 5A, a1 [%] as the selectivity of “basic pattern 1” and b1 [%] as the selectivity of “basic pattern 2” C1 [%] as the selectivity of “high setting suggestion pattern 1”, d1 [%] as the selectivity of “high setting suggestion pattern 2”, 0 [%] as the selectivity of “setting 6 fixed pattern” ing. In the second normal selection table, as shown in FIG. 5B, a2 [%] as the selectivity of “basic pattern 1”, b2 [%] as the selectivity of “basic pattern 2”, “high” C2 [%] is set as the selectivity of the setting suggestion pattern 1 ”, d2 [%] as the selectivity of the“ high setting suggestion pattern 2 ”, and 0 [%] as the selectivity of the“ setting 6 fixed pattern ”.

  Although not shown, in the third normal selection table to the fifth normal selection table, similarly, the selection rates of “basic pattern 1” are a3 [%] to a5 [%] and “basic pattern 2” selection rates B3 [%] to b5 [%], c3 [%] to c5 [%] as the selectivity of “high setting suggestion pattern 1”, d3 [%] to d5 [as the selectivity of “high setting suggestion pattern 2” %] And 0 [%] are respectively set as the selection rates of “setting 6 fixed pattern”. In the sixth normal selection table, as shown in FIG. 5C, a6 [%] as the selectivity of “basic pattern 1”, b6 [%] as the selectivity of “basic pattern 2”, “high” C6 [%] is set as the selectivity of the setting suggestion pattern 1 ”, d6 [%] as the selectivity of the“ high setting suggestion pattern 2 ”, and e6 [%] as the selectivity of the“ setting 6 finalization pattern ”.

  In the specific selection table, as shown in FIG. 5D, a10 [%] as the selectivity of “basic pattern 1”, b10 [%] as the selectivity of “basic pattern 2”, “high setting suggestion” The selection rate of “pattern 1” is c10 [%], the selection rate of “high setting suggestion pattern 2” is d10 [%], and the selection rate of “setting 6 determined pattern” is 0 [%]. In the first special selection table, as shown in FIG. 5E, a11 [%] as the selectivity of “basic pattern 1”, b11 [%] as the selectivity of “basic pattern 2”, “high” C11 [%] is set as the selectivity of the setting suggestion pattern 1 ”, d11 [%] as the selectivity of the“ high setting suggestion pattern 2 ”, and 0 [%] as the selectivity of the“ setting 6 fixed pattern ”. In the second special selection table, as shown in FIG. 5F, a12 [%] as the selectivity of “basic pattern 1”, b12 [%] as the selectivity of “basic pattern 2”, “high” C12 [%] is set as the selectivity of the setting suggestion pattern 1 ”, d12 [%] as the selectivity of the“ high setting suggestion pattern 2 ”, and 0 [%] as the selectivity of the“ setting 6 fixed pattern ”.

  Although illustration is omitted, in the third special selection table to the fifth special selection table as well, the selection rate of “basic pattern 1” is a13 [%] to a15 [%] and “basic pattern 2” selection rate B13 [%] to b15 [%], c13 [%] to c15 [%] as the selectivity of the “high setting suggestion pattern 1”, d13 [%] to d15 [as the selectivity of the “high setting suggestion pattern 2” %] And 0 [%] are respectively set as the selection rates of “setting 6 fixed pattern”. Then, in the sixth special selection table, as shown in FIG. 5G, a16 [%] as the selectivity of “basic pattern 1”, b16 [%] as the selectivity of “basic pattern 2”, “high” C16 [%] is set as the selectivity of the setting suggestion pattern 1 ”, d16 [%] as the selectivity of the“ high setting suggestion pattern 2 ”, and e16 [%] as the selectivity of the“ setting 6 finalization pattern ”.

  In the present embodiment, for the first to third normal selection tables referred to in the low setting (setting 1 to setting 3), a1 to a3, b1 to b3, c1 to c3, and d1 to d3 are selected. The selection rate is set to be lower in order (a1> b1> c1> d1, a2> b2> c2> d2, a3> b3> c3> d3). On the other hand, for the fourth normal selection table to the sixth normal selection table, which are referred to at the time of high setting (setting 4 to setting 6), the selection rates are c4 to c6, d4 to d6, a4 to a6, b4 to b6 in this order Is set to be low (c4> d4> a4> b4, c5> d5> a5> b5, c6> d6> a6> b6). As a result, when the length of the non-advantage period is a normal period, the basic pattern is more easily selected than the high setting suggestion pattern when the length is low, while the high setting suggestion pattern is selected than the basic pattern when the length is high. It is easier.

  In this embodiment, for the first to sixth normal selection tables, selection of the low setting “basic pattern 1” in the total value (a1 + a2 +... + A6) of the selectivities of all “basic patterns 1” The sum of the selectivity of “basic pattern 2” with a low setting that the proportion of the sum of rates (a1 + a2 + a3) accounts for the sum (b1 + b2 +... + B6) of the selectivity of “basic pattern 2” for all set values It is set so that it may become smaller than the ratio of b1 + b2 + b3) ((a1 + a2 + a3) / (a1 + a2 + ... + a6) <(b1 + b2 + b3) / (b1 + b2 + ... + b6)). Moreover, the ratio of the total value (c1 + c2 + c3) of the selectivity of the low setting “high setting suggestion pattern 1” to the total value (c1 + c2 +... + C6) of the selectivity of all “high setting suggestion pattern 1” is all setting So that it is larger than the ratio of the sum (d1 + d2 + d3) of the selectivity of low setting "high setting suggestion pattern 2" to the total value (d1 + d2 + ... + d6) of the selectivity of "high setting suggestion pattern 2" It is set ((c1 + c2 + c3) / (c1 + c2 +... + C6)> (d1 + d2 + d3) / (d1 + d2 +... + D6)). As a result, when the length of the non-advantage period is a normal period, “Basic pattern 2” is more easily selected when “Low” than “Basic pattern 1”, while “High setting suggestion pattern” “1” is easier to select when the setting is low than “high setting suggestion pattern 2”.

  In addition, the ratio of the total value (c4 + c5 + c6) of selectivity of high setting “high setting suggestion pattern 1” to the total value of selectivity of all “high setting suggestion pattern 1” is “high” for all setting values. It is set to be smaller than the ratio of the total value (d4 + d5 + d6) of the selectivity of “high setting suggestion pattern 2” at the high setting to the total value of the selectivity of setting suggestion pattern 2 ”((c4 + c5 + c6) / (C1 + c2 + ... + c6) <(d4 + d5 + d6) / (d1 + d2 + ... + d6)). Also, the ratio of the total value (a4 + a5 + a6) of the selectivity of the high setting “basic pattern 1” to the total value of the selectivity of all the “basic pattern 1” is that of “basic pattern 2” for all setting values. It is set to be larger than the ratio of the total value (b4 + b5 + b6) of the selectivity of “basic pattern 2” at the high setting to the total value of the selectivity ((a4 + a5 + a6) / (a1 + a2 + ... + a6)> ((a4 + a5)) b4 + b5 + b6) / (b1 + b2 +... + b6)). As a result, when the length of the non-advantage period is the normal period, “high setting suggestion pattern 2” is more easily selected when high setting than “high setting suggestion pattern 1”. The basic pattern 1 "is more easily selected when the high setting is made than the" basic pattern 2 ".

  As a result, in the present embodiment, when control of the advantageous state is started in the normal period with a low setting, the end effect of the basic pattern is easily performed regardless of the effect result of the challenge challenge effect, for example, As shown in FIG. 6A, the end screen of “basic pattern 1” is displayed. Further, for example, when control of the advantageous state is started in the normal period with high setting, the end effect of the high setting suggestion pattern is easily performed regardless of the effect result of the challenge challenge effect, for example, FIG. As shown in), the end screen of "high setting suggestion pattern 1" is displayed. Therefore, when the control of the advantageous state is started in the normal period, if the setting is high, it is easy to display an end screen for making a suggestion according to the high setting suggestion pattern and the setting value. Therefore, for the player, when the control of the advantageous state is started during the normal period, it is assumed that the possibility of the high setting is high if the end effect of the high setting suggestion pattern is executed.

  In the present embodiment, when control of the advantageous state is started in the normal period with low setting, the end screen of “basic pattern 2” is more easily displayed than in “basic pattern 1”, and higher than “high setting suggestion pattern 2”. While the end screen of "High setting suggestion pattern 1" is easy to be displayed, when the control of the advantageous state is started in the normal period with high setting, "High setting suggestion pattern 2" of "High setting suggestion pattern 1" The end screen is easily displayed, and the end screen of “basic pattern 1” is more easily displayed than “basic pattern 2”. Therefore, for the player, when control of the advantageous state is started during the normal period, if the end effect of the basic pattern is executed, it is assumed that “basic pattern 2” is lower than “basic pattern 1”. The degree of reliability increases, and if the end effect of the high setting suggestion pattern is executed, the reliability for estimating the high setting suggestion pattern 2 is higher than the high setting suggestion pattern 1 ing.

  Further, in the present embodiment, in the specific selection table, the selectivity decreases in the order of c10, d10, a10, and b10, and the selectivity of c10 is set to be particularly high (c10 >> d10> a10) > B10). As a result, when the length of the non-advantage period is a specific period, the high setting suggestion pattern is more easily selected than the basic pattern when the number of successful pressing is up to one, and particularly, “high setting suggestion pattern 1” is selected It is easy to do. That is, in the case where the length of the non-advantage period is the specific period, when the number of successful pressing is up to one, “high setting suggestion pattern 1” is easily selected regardless of the set value. In addition, when the length of the non-advantage period is a specific period, “basic pattern 1” is more easily selected than “basic pattern 2” regardless of the set value when the number of successful pressing is up to one. “High setting suggestion pattern 1” is more easily selected when “high setting suggestion pattern 2” is higher than “high setting suggestion pattern 2”.

  As a result of these, in the present embodiment, when control of the advantageous state is started during the specific period and the number of successful pressing is up to one, the end effect of the high setting suggestion pattern is easily performed regardless of the setting value. In particular, as shown in FIG. 6C, the end screen of “high setting suggestion pattern 1” is easily displayed. For this reason, for the player, when the control of the advantageous state is started during the specific period and the number of successful pressing is up to one, the end effect of the high setting suggestion pattern is executed even if the setting is low, and the high setting It comes to guess that there is a high possibility.

  Further, in the present embodiment, for the first special selection table to the third special selection table to be referred to when the setting is low, the selection ratio is low in the order of b11 to b13, a11 to a13, c11 to c13, and d11 to d13. The selection ratio of b11 to b13 is set to be particularly high (b11 >> a11> c11> d11, b12 >> a12> c12> d12, b13 >> a13> c13> d13). On the other hand, in the fourth special selection table to the sixth special selection table to be referred to in the high setting, the selection ratio is lowered in the order of d14 to d16, c14 to c16, a14 to a16, b14 to b16, and d14 It is set so that the selectivity of ~ d16 is particularly high (d14 >> c14> a14> b14, d15 >> c15> a15> b15, d16 >> c16> a16> b16). As a result, when the length of the non-advantage period is a specific period, the basic pattern is more easily selected than the high setting suggestion pattern if the setting is low if the number of successful pressing is two or more. While “2” is easy to be selected, if the setting is high, the high setting suggestion pattern is more easily selected than the basic pattern, and particularly “high setting suggestion pattern 2” is easy to be selected.

  In the present embodiment, for the first special selection table to the sixth special selection table, as in the first normal selection table to the sixth normal selection table, the total value of the selection rates of all “basic patterns 1” ( The ratio of the sum (a11 + a12 + a13) of the selectivity of low setting “basic pattern 1” to the sum of the selectivity of “basic pattern 2” (b11 + b12 +... + b16) for all setting values It is set to be smaller than the ratio of the total value (b11 + b12 + b13) of the selectivity of “basic pattern 2” at low setting ((a11 + a12 + a13) / (a11 + a12 +... + A16) <(b11 + b12 + b13) / (b11 + b12 +). + B16)). In addition, the ratio of the total value (c11 + c12 + c13) of the selectivity of low setting "high setting suggestion pattern 1" to the total value (c11 + c12 + ... + c16) of selectivity of all "high setting suggestion pattern 1" is all setting To be larger than the ratio of the sum (d11 + d12 + d13) of the selectivity of low setting "High setting suggestion pattern 2" to the total value (d11 + d12 + ... + d16) of the selectivity of "high setting suggestion pattern 2" It is set ((c11 + c12 + c13) / (c11 + c12 +... + C16)> (d11 + d12 + d13) / (d11 + d12 +... + D16)). As a result, when the length of the non-advantage period is a specific period, when the number of successful pressing is two or more, it is easy to be selected when “Basic pattern 2” is set lower than “Basic pattern 1”. On the other hand, "high setting suggestion pattern 1" is more easily selected when the setting is low than "high setting suggestion pattern 2".

  In addition, the ratio of the total value (c14 + c15 + c16) of the selectivity of the high setting “high setting suggestion pattern 1” to the total value of the selectivity of all “high setting suggestion pattern 1” is “high” for all setting values. It is set to be smaller than the ratio of the total value (d14 + d15 + d16) of the selectivity of the high setting “high setting suggestion pattern 2” to the total value of the selection rate of the setting suggestion pattern 2 ”((c14 + c15 + c16) / ( c11 + c12 + ... + c16) <(d14 + d15 + d16) / (d11 + d12 + ... + d16)). Also, the ratio of the total value (a14 + a15 + a16) of the selectivity of the high setting “basic pattern 1” to the total value of the selectivity of all the “basic pattern 1” is that of “basic pattern 2” for all setting values. It is set to be larger than the ratio of the total value (b14 + b15 + b16) of the selectivity of high setting “basic pattern 2” to the total value of selectivity ((a14 + a15 + a16) / (a11 + a12 +... + A16)> (b14 + b15 + b16)> / (B11 + b12 + ... + b16)). As a result, when the length of the non-advantage period is a specific period, and if the number of times of successful pressing is two or more, “high setting suggestion pattern 2” is higher than “high setting suggestion pattern 1” While “Basic pattern 1” is easier to select, “Basic pattern 1” is easier to select when it is set higher than “Basic pattern 2”.

  As a result, in the present embodiment, the basic pattern end effect is easily performed when control of the advantageous state is started in a specific period with low setting and the number of successful eyepresses is two or more. In particular, FIG. As shown in (D), the end screen of “basic pattern 2” is easily displayed. Further, for example, when the control of the advantageous state is started in the normal period with the high setting and the number of successful pressing is 2 or more, the end effect of the high setting suggestion pattern is easily performed, in particular, FIG. As shown in, the end screen of "high setting suggestion pattern 2" is easily displayed. Therefore, when the control of the advantageous state is started in a specific period and the number of successful eyepresses is two or more, “basic pattern 2” is set if the setting is low, and “high setting suggestion pattern 2” is set if the setting is high. An end screen is displayed to make a highly reliable suggestion according to the situation. For this reason, for the player, when the control of the advantageous state is started during the specific period and the number of success is two or more, the end effect of the high setting suggestion pattern is more than when the control of the advantageous state is started during the normal period. It is easy to guess that it is high setting if it is executed.

In the present embodiment, the selectivity e6 [%] of the “setting 6 determined pattern” in the sixth normal selection table and e16 [%] the selectivity of the “setting 6 determined pattern” in the sixth special selection table As long as the conditions for the other selectivities (a1 to a6, a11 to a16, b1 to b6, b11 to b16, c1 to c6, c11 to c16, d1 to d6, d11 to d16) described above are satisfied, , 0 [%] to 100 [%], for example, e6 may be 0.5 [%] and e16 may be 2.5 [%].
In the present embodiment, the selection rate of “setting 6 fixed pattern” in the specific selection table is set to 0 [%] so that the effect pattern of “setting 6 fixed pattern” is not selected. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. In the case of 6, "setting 6 fixed pattern" may be selected. In this case, for example, a specific selection table (for example, a sixth specific selection table) which is referred to only in setting 6 is separately provided to be able to select “setting 6 fixed pattern” (for example, the selection rate is e10 [%]) It is necessary to take measures such as

  In the present embodiment, when control is started during the normal period, the end screen of “basic pattern 2” is more easily displayed than in “basic pattern 1” if low setting, and “high” if high setting. The end screen of “high setting suggestion pattern 2” is made easier to be displayed than “setting suggestion pattern 1”, but it is low setting when control of the advantageous state is started during a specific period and the number of successful eyepresses is two or more. If the end screen of "basic pattern 2" is particularly easy to be displayed, and if the end screen of "high setting suggestion pattern 2" is particularly easy to be displayed if high setting, then control of the advantageous state is started in the normal period If the setting is low, the end screen of "basic pattern 1" is more easily displayed than "basic pattern 2". If the setting is high, the end screen of "high setting suggestion pattern 1" is higher than "high setting suggestion pattern 2" Is displayed It may be easy to Re. That is, if control of the advantageous state is started during the specific period and the number of successful pressing is two or more, termination of the effect pattern having a high degree of reliability is easily performed. The end effect of the high effect pattern may not be performed.

As described above, according to the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the sub control unit 91 causes the lower panel 50 to light up during the activation period in which no image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.
By doing this, the time until the player can confirm the power-on is shorter than the gaming machine which does not execute the effect during the start-up period in which no image is displayed on the liquid crystal display after the power supply is started.
In particular, according to the gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, the display area of the lower panel 50 is wider than the display area of the liquid crystal display 51.
By doing this, it becomes easy for the store clerk or the like of the game arcade to check the power on of the gaming machine 1.
Further, according to the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the sub control unit 91 lights the lower panel 50 before receiving the start command from the main control unit 41.
By doing this, the store clerk or the like can check the power-on of the gaming machine 1 regardless of the condition of the main control unit 41.

Further, according to the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the sub control unit 91 causes the liquid crystal display 51 to display the image being prepared after the start-up period has elapsed.
By doing this, the store clerk or the like can specify that the liquid crystal display 51 is preparing for display control.
Further, according to the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the sub control unit 91 turns off the lower panel 50 after the activation period has elapsed.
By doing this, since the preparation screen is displayed after the lower panel 50 is turned off after the start-up period has elapsed, it becomes easier for the store clerk or the like to check the power on of the gaming machine 1.

Further, according to the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 does not validate the reception of the operation to the operation unit 7 until the start command is transmitted after the power supply is started.
By doing this, it is possible to prevent the game in the situation where there is no display on the liquid crystal display 51.
In the present embodiment, for example, when the suggestion effect indicating the game result is executed, the frequency of using the lower panel 50 may be lower than the frequency of using the liquid crystal display 51. By doing this, it becomes difficult to misunderstand that lighting during the activation period is a suggested effect.

  Further, according to the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 changes the setting value by the operation of the switches 37 and 38 by the store clerk or the like of the game arcade. Further, the main control unit 41 starts the game by the operation of the operation unit 7 by the player, and can be controlled to the advantageous state according to the result of the game, and the sub control unit 91 starts the control of the advantageous state Then, it performs eye-catching challenge effect and end effect. The effect pattern of the end effect includes three types of effect patterns of a basic pattern, a high setting indication pattern, and a setting value decision pattern, and the sub control unit 91 executes the end effect of the high setting indication pattern, for example. It is possible to suggest that the setting value is high.

  Here, as to a gaming machine that suggests a setting value, for example, one that executes setting suggestion effect according to the current setting value (current setting value) has been proposed (for example, see JP-A-2017-136196). ). However, in such a gaming machine, the player can play a game by, for example, suggesting that the current setting value is low or not suggesting that the current setting is high. May end up. That is, there is a possibility that the player may end the game by making a suggestion according to the current setting value.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, when the length of the non-advantition period before starting the control of the advantageous state is the normal period, the sub-control unit 91 does not set the high setting suggestive pattern unless the high setting. While it is difficult to execute the end effect, when the length of the non-advantage period is a specific period, the end effect of the high setting suggestion pattern can be easily performed regardless of the setting value.
In this way, when control of the advantageous state is started in a specific period shorter than the normal period (a period shorter than the average period of the non-advantage period at the high setting), control of the advantageous state in the normal period is While it is easier for the player to guess that the setting is high than when started, when the control of the advantageous state is started in the normal period, the termination effect of the high setting suggestion pattern is executed unless the setting is high. It is difficult for the player to guess that the high setting is actually set even if the low setting is actually performed if the end effect of the high setting suggestion pattern is executed. Furthermore, when control of the advantageous state is started in the specific period, the end effect of the high setting suggestion pattern is easy to be executed regardless of the setting value, so even if control of the advantageous state is started in the specific period The player infers that the control of the advantageous state is started during a specific period rather than the gaming machine which does not make it easy to execute the termination effect of the high setting suggestion pattern regardless of the fact that the high setting is the high setting. It becomes easy to expect that the game is played with the high setting, and it becomes easy for the player to continue the game for a long time.

Further, according to the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the sub control unit 91 causes the player to estimate the setting value when ending the control of the advantageous state by executing the ending effect.
By doing this, the end effect of the high setting suggestion pattern is executed when ending control of the advantageous state, and there is a possibility that the player may guess that the setting is high, so an effect different from the end effect It becomes more difficult for the player to finish playing the game when control of the advantageous state is finished than in a gaming machine which causes the player to estimate the setting value at a timing different from that when the control of the advantageous state is finished.
Note that, as in the present embodiment, the sub control unit 91 performs an end effect in which the high setting suggestion pattern may be selected, and the player estimates the setting value when ending control of the advantageous state. Although it is preferable to make it perform, it may change to end production and may perform other production. For example, during control of the advantageous state, an on-control effect may be executed which can select an effect pattern such as a high setting suggestion pattern.

Further, according to the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the three types of effect patterns of the end effect include the set value determination pattern which is selected only when it is a specific set value, and the sub control unit In 91, the termination effect of the setting value determination pattern is not executed unless the setting value is a specific setting value regardless of the length of the non-advantage period. Specifically, the “setting 6 fixed pattern” selected only when setting 6 is included, and the sub control unit 91 does not set 6 regardless of the length of the non-advantage period. Do not display the final screen of the finalized pattern.
By doing this, the player can be identified as a specific setting value (setting 6) if the ending effect of the setting value fixing pattern is executed, so by executing the ending effect of the setting value fixing pattern, It is possible to prevent the player from misidentifying that the setting value is different from the specific setting value (setting 1 to setting 5). As a result, for example, it is possible to prevent the player from inferring that the setting is low (setting 1 to setting 3) despite the setting 6.

In the present embodiment, the “setting 6 fixing pattern” is provided as the setting value fixing pattern to be selected only when the setting value is a specific setting value, but the setting value fixing pattern is not limited to this. “Setting 1 finalization pattern” to “setting 5 finalization pattern” of each setting value (setting 1 to setting 5), “odd setting value finalizing pattern” for odd setting values (setting 1, setting 3 and setting 5), Even set value (set 2, set 4, set 6) “even set value determined pattern”, set 5 or more (set 5, set 6) “set 5 or more determined pattern”, high set (set 4 There may be a “high setting decision pattern” of setting 6) and a “low setting decision pattern” of low setting (setting 1 to setting 3).
In the present embodiment, as an example of the special mode, the set value determination pattern selected only when it is a specific set value is provided, but the set value determination pattern may not be provided.

Further, according to the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, in the three types of effect patterns of the end effect, a basic pattern as an example of the degree of non-interest related aspect selected without being related to the set value, and the set value The high setting suggestion pattern and the setting value finalization pattern are included as an example of the advantage related aspect selected in relation to the group, and among these, the basic pattern and the high setting suggestion pattern each have two types of effect patterns ( The “basic pattern 1” and the “basic pattern 2” are provided in the basic pattern, and the “high setting suggestion pattern” and the “high setting suggestion pattern 2” are provided in the high setting suggestion pattern.
By doing this, the effect patterns selected for the relation with the set value and the effect patterns selected for the relation with the set value are more diverse than the game machines provided with plural types of effect patterns provided for each of the effect effects. As a result, the player becomes interested in the effect pattern of the end effect, and the interest of the game is improved.

In the present embodiment, two types of effect patterns are provided for the basic pattern and the high setting suggestion pattern, respectively. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and three or more effect patterns may be provided. For example, an effect pattern such as “basic pattern 3” may be newly provided for the basic pattern. Also, for example, for the high setting suggestion pattern, new effect patterns such as “setting 5 or more suggestion pattern” indicating setting 5 or more (setting 5 and setting 6) and “setting 6 suggestion pattern” indicating setting 6 are newly added. It may be provided in
Further, in the present embodiment, only one type of effect pattern is provided in the setting value determination pattern, but the present invention is not limited to this, and two or more types of effect patterns may be provided. For example, the above-mentioned "setting 1 fixed pattern" to "setting 5 fixed pattern", "odd set value fixed pattern", "even set value fixed pattern", "set 5 or more fixed pattern", "high setting confirmed pattern" or " Two or more types of effect patterns may be added by adding a “low setting determined pattern” or the like.

In the present embodiment, the basic pattern is exemplified as the effect pattern (aspect not related to the selected pattern) to be selected regardless of the setting value, but the present invention is not limited to this. There may be an effect pattern that is not related to other setting values such as a special pattern.
In the present embodiment, the high setting suggestion pattern and the setting value determination pattern are illustrated as the effect pattern (advantage related aspect) selected in relation to the setting value, but the present invention is not limited thereto. There may be a low setting suggestion pattern for suggesting setting, an odd setting value suggesting pattern for suggesting an odd setting value, and an odd setting value suggesting pattern for suggesting an even setting value. Further, in the present embodiment, the high setting suggestion pattern is illustrated as an example of the specific aspect, but the invention is not limited thereto, and the above-described effect pattern (low setting suggestion pattern, odd setting value suggestion pattern, odd setting value suggestion pattern), etc. If the player can guess that the value is a specific set value, any effect pattern may be used.

As in the present embodiment, the effect pattern of the end effect is selected in relation to the setting value and the effect pattern (a degree of non-relevant aspect, a basic pattern) to be selected without being related to the setting value. Although it is preferable that the effect pattern (advancing degree related aspect, high setting suggestion pattern, setting value finalization pattern) is included, at least the effect pattern to be selected in relation to the setting value may be included, and the setting value is It is not necessary to include an effect pattern that is selected without being related. Thus, for example, a low setting suggestion pattern for suggesting low setting may be included instead of the basic pattern.
As in the present embodiment, it is preferable to provide two types of effect patterns for each of the basic pattern and the high setting suggestion pattern to diversify the effect pattern of the end effect, but the basic pattern and the high setting suggestion pattern are also set Similarly to the value determination pattern, only one type of effect pattern may be provided.

Further, according to the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 executes the eye-catching challenge effect to count the number of eye-succeeded successes, and when the number of eye-succeeded successes is two or more (predetermined When the condition is satisfied), it is difficult to execute the termination effect of the high setting suggestion pattern unless the high setting is made as in the case of the normal period even if the length of the non-advantage period is a specific period.
In this way, when control of the advantageous state is started in the specific period, the high setting suggestion pattern is easier than the gaming machine which easily executes the termination effect of the high setting suggestion pattern regardless of the setting value even if the predetermined condition is satisfied. It becomes easy for the player to guess whether the setting is high or not depending on whether or not the end effect of is executed. As a result, since it becomes easy for the player to deduce whether the setting is high or not by making the number of successful eyecuts twice or more, the player is interested in making the eyestrokes successful in the visual challenge presentation. As a result, the interest of the game is improved.

In the present embodiment, it is difficult to execute the termination effect of the high setting suggestion pattern unless the setting is high when the number of successful eyes is 2 or more, but the number of successful eyes is limited to this. For example, it may be one or more times, and may be three or more times.
In the present embodiment, when the length of the non-advantage period is a specific period, if the number of successful pressing is two or more, the high setting suggestion pattern is not set unless it is higher than that in the normal period. In addition, it is difficult to execute the end effect on the screen, but if the number of success is two or more even when the length of the non-advantage period is a normal period, it is still higher as in the specific period. If the setting is not made, it may be more difficult to execute the end effect of the high setting suggestion pattern. For example, if the number of times of successful pressing is two or more, even when the length of the non-advantage period is a normal period, the effect pattern is selected by referring to the sixth special selection table from the first special selection table. Good.

  In the present embodiment, while the control of the advantageous state is performed and the challenge effect is performed to cause the player to perform the eyepress, the operation to be performed by the player is not limited to this, for example, the game For the user to continuously operate the operation unit 7 for a predetermined period (for example, 30 seconds), operate a plurality of types of operation units 7 in a specific operation order, or "7" on a specific line The operation may be performed so as to align (so-called "bit press"). That is, in place of the eye-catching challenge effect, continuous hitting challenge effect, navigation effect, pushing order challenge effect, bitter pushing challenge effect, etc. may be executed. Also, a plurality of these effects may be executed, and it may be easy for the player to guess whether or not the setting is high if one of the challenges is successful and the predetermined condition is satisfied.

  In the present embodiment, the eye-press challenge effect is performed during control of the advantageous state, but the eye-press challenge effect may not be performed. That is, as in the present embodiment, it is preferable that the termination effect of the high setting suggestion pattern can be made difficult to be executed unless the high setting is made by the operation of the player during control of the advantageous state. It may not be possible for the termination effect of the high setting suggestion pattern to be difficult to be executed unless the high setting is set by the operation of the player during control of the state.

  In the present embodiment, a simulated game is performed to display an image in which the reels of the slot machine are variably displayed in the eye-catching challenge effect, and the player is made to press the eye. For example, a simulated game using an actual reel may be played to cause a player to make a push, or a normal game using an actual reel may be made to cause a player to make a push.

In the present embodiment, the ending effect is exemplified as an example of the advantageous state-related effect, but the advantageous state-related effect is not limited to this as long as it is associated with the advantageous state. It may be a swaying production that asks whether or not it is a suggestion, and may be a suggestive presentation that suggests control in an advantageous state.
In the present embodiment, as an example of the degree of advantage, a set value related to the payout rate for gaming value (for example, a medal if the gaming machine 1 is a slot machine, a gaming ball if the gaming machine 1 is a pachinko gaming machine) Although illustrated, it is not limited to this, for example, it may be a winning rate in a lottery such as a lottery for controlling in an advantageous state or a distribution of premier presentation, a setting value of difficulty level of achievement of mission presentation, or the like. In order to perform such control, it is necessary to newly provide a setting switch or the like which allows a clerk or the like of a game arcade to set the winning rate and the setting value after the power is turned on.

In the present embodiment, although the main control unit 41 controls in an advantageous state, the present invention is not limited to this, and the sub control unit 91 may control in an advantageous state.
Further, in the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 is selected according to the set value, the length of the non-advantage period, and the number of successful eye-pressings regardless of the type of the controlled advantageous state when controlled to the advantageous state. Although the end effect is executed with the effect pattern, the effect pattern to be selected may be changed depending on the type of the controlled advantageous state.

  For example, if the gaming machine 1 is a slot machine, when the BB is controlled, the effect pattern is selected based on the set value, the length of the non-advantage period, and the number of successful press-ons, as in the present embodiment. When it is controlled to be, it may be possible to select the effect pattern based on only the set value regardless of the length of the non-advantage period without executing the challenge challenge effect. Further, for example, if the gaming machine 1 is a pachinko gaming machine, when it is controlled to the big hit state, the effect pattern is selected based on the setting value, the length of the non-advantage period, and the number of success in pushing as in this embodiment. On the other hand, when being controlled to the small hitting state, it is possible to select the effect pattern based only on the setting value regardless of the length of the non-advantage period without executing the challenge challenge effect.

  At this time, when being controlled to the RB or the small hit state, not only the suggestion of the high setting or the definite notification of the setting 6 but also the suggestion that the setting value is even or odd may be made. In this case, for example, if the gaming machine 1 is a slot machine, the first to sixth normal selection tables, the specific selection table, the first special selection table to the sixth normal selection table of the present embodiment are used as various tables for BB. While using a special selection table, it is necessary to separately provide and use a first normal selection table to a sixth normal table similar to the first to sixth normal selection tables for BB as various tables for RB. In this case, although illustration is omitted, the basic pattern is set when the setting is low, like the first normal selection table to the sixth normal selection table for BB, for the first normal selection table to the sixth normal selection table for RB. While it is easier to select than the high setting suggestion pattern, the high setting suggestion pattern is easier to be selected than the basic pattern when the setting is high.

  On the other hand, the ratio of the total value (a21 + a23 + a25) of the selectivity of “basic pattern 1” of the odd setting value (setting 1, setting 3, setting 5) to the total value of the selectivity of all “basic pattern 1” is It is set to be larger than the ratio of the total value (b21 + b23 + b25) of the selectivity of "basic pattern 2" of the odd setting value to the total value of the selectivity of "basic pattern 2" for all setting values (A21 + a23 + a25) / (a21 + a22 +... + A26)> (b21 + b23 + b25) / (b21 + b22 +... + B26)) “High setting suggestion pattern 1” of the odd setting value in the total value of the selectivity of all “high setting suggestion pattern 1” The ratio of the total value (c21 + c23 + c25) of the selection rate of the selection of "high setting suggestion pattern 2" for all set values (C21 + c23 + c25) / (c21 + c22 + ... + c26)> (d21 + d23 + d25)> (d21 + c23 + c25) / (c21 + c23 + c25)> (d21 + d23 + d25) / (D21 + d22 + ... + d26)).

  Further, the ratio of the total value (a22 + a24 + a26) of the selection rates of “basic pattern 1” of the even setting values (settings 2, 4 and 6) to the total value of the selection rates of all “basic pattern 1” is It is set to be smaller than the ratio of the total value (b22 + b24 + b26) of the selectivity of “basic pattern 2” of the even setting value to the total value of the selectivity of “basic pattern 2” for all the set values ( (A22 + a24 + a26) / (a21 + a22 +... + A26) <(b22 + b24 + b26) / (b21 + b22 +... + B26)) “High setting suggestion pattern 1” of the even setting value in the total value of the selectivity of all “high setting suggestion pattern 1” The ratio of the total value (c22 + c24 + c26) of the selection rate of the selection of "high setting suggestion pattern 2" for all set values (C22 + c24 + c26) / (c21 + c22 + ... + c26) <(d22 + d24 + d26) <(d22 + c22 + ... + c26) <(d22 + c24 + c26) <(d22 + d22 + d26) / (D21 + d22 + ... + d26)).

  By doing this, “Basic pattern 1” and “High setting suggestion pattern 1” are more easily selected when using odd setting values than “Basic pattern 2” and “High setting suggestion pattern 2”, The “basic pattern 2” and the “high setting suggestion pattern 2” are more easily selected when the setting value is an odd number than the “basic pattern 1” and the “high setting suggestion pattern 1”.

  In the present embodiment, although the specific period and the normal period are provided as the length of the non-advantage period, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, a special period (for example, less than 1 minute, 50 seconds, etc.) is provided. It is also good. In this case, if the length of the non-advantage period is the special period, the sub-control unit 91 may easily perform the end effect of the set value determination pattern at the end of the control of the advantageous state. In this case, in addition to the “setting 6 determination pattern” as in the present embodiment, the other setting value determination patterns described above (for example, “setting 1 determination pattern” to “setting 5 determination pattern”, “odd setting value The final effect of the setting value determination pattern is executed by adding the determination pattern, the even setting value determination pattern, the setting 5 or more determination pattern, the high setting determination pattern, and the low setting determination pattern). Alternatively, the end effect of the set value determination pattern may be performed without fail.

(1) Therefore, in the present application,
A gaming machine (eg, gaming machine 1) that plays a game,
Advantage setting means (for example, processing in which the main control unit 41 controls the setting change state) capable of setting an advantage (for example, a setting value) for the player;
Advantageous state control means (for example, processing in which the main control unit 41 controls to an advantageous state) which can be controlled to an advantageous state advantageous to the player;
Means for executing an advantageous state related effect executing means (for example, a process in which the sub control unit 91 executes an end effect) capable of executing an advantageous state related effect (for example, an end effect at the end of control of the advantageous state) related to the advantageous state; Equipped
The above-mentioned advantageous state related effect executing means is
The above-described aspect of any one of a plurality of types of aspects including a specific aspect (for example, high setting suggestion pattern) (for example, three types of effect patterns of a basic pattern, a high setting suggestion pattern, and a setting value determination pattern) It is possible to execute the advantageous state related effect (for example, the process in which the sub control unit 91 selects the effect pattern of the end effect),
When the control of the advantageous state is started in a period (e.g., a normal period) after a specific period (e.g., a specific period) provided after the control of the advantageous state ends, the set degree of advantage If it is not a specific advantage (for example, high setting, setting 4 to setting 6), the above-mentioned advantageous state related rendition of the specific aspect is executed at a predetermined ratio (for example, (c1 + d1) [%] to (c3 + d3) [%]) On the other hand, if the set advantage is the specific advantage, the specific condition related to the specific aspect is associated with the specific ratio (eg, (c4 + d4) [%] to (c6 + d6) [%]) higher than the predetermined ratio. The effect is executed (for example, when the length of the non-advantage period is the normal period, it is difficult for the sub control unit 91 to perform the end effect of the high setting suggestion pattern unless it is a high setting),
When control of the advantageous state is started in the specific period, the advantageous state related rendition of the specific aspect is executed at a special rate higher than the predetermined rate regardless of the set degree of advantage (for example, sub control In the case where the length of the non-advantage period is a specific period, the section 91 also makes it easy to execute the end effect of the high setting suggestion pattern regardless of the setting value), and is also disclosed about the gaming machine.

  According to such a configuration, when the control of the advantageous state is started in the specific period, the set degree of advantage is the specific advantage as compared to the case where the control of the advantageous state is started in the period after the specific period has elapsed. It is easy for the player to guess that there is a certain condition, but when the control of the advantageous state is started in the period after the specific period has elapsed, the specified advantage is not the specific advantage when it is the specific advantage. Since it becomes easier to execute the advantageous state-related effect of the specific aspect than when it is performed, the player may infer that the advantage set by the execution of the advantageous state-related effect of the specific aspect is the specific advantage. it can. Moreover, according to such a configuration, when control of the advantageous state is started in the specific period, the advantageous state related rendition of the specific aspect is easily performed regardless of the set degree of advantage, so the advantageous state in the specific period Even when the control of the game is started, it is set that the control of the advantageous state is started in the specific period rather than the gaming machine which does not execute the advantageous state related rendition of the specific aspect in the special ratio regardless of the set degree of advantage. It is easy for the player to guess that the degree of advantage is the specific advantage and to expect that the game is being played at the specific advantage, and it is easy for the player to continue playing the game for a long time.

(2) In the gaming machine of (1),
The advantageous state-related effect may be an effect to be executed when the control of the advantageous state is ended (for example, the sub control unit 91 ends the control of the advantageous state by executing the end effect. Sometimes the player may guess the set value).

  According to such a configuration, when ending control of the advantageous state, the player may infer that the advantageous state related rendering of the specific aspect is executed and the set degree of advantage is the specific advantage. Therefore, it becomes more difficult for the player to finish playing the game when the control of the advantageous state is finished than the gaming machine which is not the effect to be executed when the advantageous state related rendering ends the control of the advantageous state.

(3) In the gaming machine of (1) or (2),
In the plurality of types of aspects, an advantage unrelated aspect (for example, basic pattern) not related to the set advantage, and an advantage related aspect related to the set advantage (for example, high setting suggestion pattern, setting) Value determination pattern) and
A plurality of types of the above-mentioned advantage non-relevant aspect and the above-mentioned advantage related aspect may be provided (for example, the basic pattern includes “basic pattern 1” and “basic pattern 2”, and the high setting suggestion pattern is “High setting suggestion pattern 1” and “high setting suggestion pattern 2” may be included).

  According to such a configuration, the aspect of the advantage related presentation becomes more diverse than the gaming machine in which the plurality of advantages non-relevant aspects and the plurality of advantages related aspects are not provided, and the player is associated with the advantageous state associated rendition Interest in the game, and the interest of the game is improved.

(4) In the above (1) to (3) gaming machines,
The plurality of types of aspects of the advantageous state related rendition include a special aspect (for example, a setting value determination pattern) which is selected only when the set degree of advantage is the specific advantage.
It is not necessary to execute the advantageous state related rendition of the special aspect if the set degree of advantage is not the specific advantage regardless of the period when the control of the advantageous state is started (for example, the sub control unit 91 The end effect of the set value determination pattern may not be executed unless it is a specific set value regardless of the length of the non-advantage period).

  According to such a configuration, since the player can specify that the set degree of advantage is the specific advantage if the advantageous state related effect of the special mode is executed, the advantageous state related effect of the special mode is performed. It is possible to prevent the player from presuming that the advantage set by is different from the specific advantage.

(5) In the gaming machine of (1) to (4),
Determining means for determining whether or not the gaming situation based on the operation by the player satisfies the predetermined condition (for example, the sub control unit 91 performs the eye pushing challenge effect several times while controlling the advantageous state Further comprising the process of determining whether the number of successes is two or more;
When control of the advantageous state is started in the specific period, when the predetermined condition is satisfied, the advantageous state-related effect of the specific aspect depending on whether the set degree of advantage is the specific degree of advantage or not The ratio of whether or not to execute may be different (for example, if the length of the non-advantage period is two or more, even if the length of the non-fa If there is not, it may be difficult to execute the end effect of the high setting suggestion pattern).

  According to such a configuration, when control of the advantageous state is started in the specific period, the advantageous state relation of the specific aspect is established regardless of whether or not the set degree of advantage is the specific advantage even if the predetermined condition is satisfied. The player infers whether the advantage set by executing the advantageous state related rendering in the specific aspect is more specific than the gaming machine in which the proportion of whether to execute the rendering is the same or not. It will be easier. As a result, since it becomes easy for the player to deduce whether the advantage set by the game situation satisfying the predetermined condition based on the operation by the player is the specific advantage, the game is operated by the player The player becomes interested in whether or not the situation of the condition satisfies the predetermined condition, and the interest of the game is improved.
