1) Overall Configuration Hereinafter, an embodiment of a gaming machine 1 according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. First, the overall configuration of the gaming machine 1 will be briefly described with reference to FIG.

  The gaming machine 1 includes a game board 90. The game board 90 is formed of a substantially square plywood, and a guide rail 903 that forms a path for guiding a game ball launched by operating the launching device 908 (launching handle) to the gaming area 902 has a substantially arc shape. It is provided as follows. In the game area 902, a start winning opening 904, a big winning opening 906, an out opening 907, and the like are provided.

  A display area 911 of the display device 91 is visible through an opening 901 formed in the game board 90. In some of the drawings, the shape of the display area 911 that is exposed without being covered by the game board 90 is simplified (described in a square shape), but the size and shape of the portion can be changed as appropriate. is there.

  In addition, the game area 902 is provided with a plurality of game nails as obstacles that change the flow-down mode of the game balls when the flow-down game balls collide. The game ball flowing down the game area 902 changes into various modes depending on the condition when it collides with the game nail.

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

  The big winning lottery is executed by a winning determination means provided on a control board (not shown) triggered by winning a game ball in the start winning opening 904 (a plurality of such starting winning openings 904 may be provided). Specifically, a numerical value (hereinafter also referred to as “hit / failure determination information”) is acquired from a random number source when a game ball is won at the start winning opening 904, and the numerical value is the same as a predetermined jackpot value. If it is, it will be a big hit, otherwise it will be out of place. In the present embodiment, as in the case of known gaming machines, when a big hit is made, the identification symbol 80 (see FIG. 2) displayed in the display area 911 of the display device 91 is a predetermined combination (for example, three of the same symbol). If the other combinations are displayed, it is lost. In some drawings, the description of the identification symbol 80 is omitted, but basically, the identification symbol 80 (identification symbol group) is being executed while the notification effect for notifying the determination result is being executed. Will continue to be displayed.

  In the present embodiment, notification of the success / failure determination result is started in the order in which the numerical values for the determination of success / failure are acquired (the variation of the identification symbol 80 (identification symbol group) is started). Provided on a control board (not shown) until the determination of the success / failure determination result based on the certain numerical value is started when the determination result based on the numerical value acquired before that is notified. Stored in the stored storage means. The maximum number of numerical values that have not yet been notified of the determination result (the corresponding values are “hold (information)”. It can be said that the hold (information) is a subordinate concept of the determination information). The stored number (maximum holding number) can be set as appropriate. The maximum number of reservations that can be stored by the storage unit in the present embodiment is four per kind of start winning prize opening 904. In this embodiment, it is determined whether or not the acquired numerical value is a big hit at the time when notification of the determination result is started. The determination result itself may be stored. Moreover, the acquired numerical value is also used as a numerical value for determining the specific content of the effect for informing the determination result.

  In the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, a holding symbol (not shown) that is a mark corresponding to each of the acquired numerical values (whether or not determination information) that has not started notification of the determination result or not stored in the storage unit. ) Is displayed in the display area 911 of the display device 91. In this embodiment, the numerical values are displayed so that they are arranged from the left in order from the earliest timing at which the numerical values are acquired (from the earlier so-called suspended digestion). A dedicated display device for displaying the reserved symbols may be provided. The mode of the reserved symbol may always be the same, and the normal reserved symbol that suggests that the probability that the corresponding success / failure determination result is a jackpot (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as (hit) reliability) has increased. One or more kinds of special symbols may be set in different modes.

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

2) Operation means and operation effects using the same 2-1) Basic configuration of operation means The operation means 10 is a member provided for the player to be involved in the effects. The operation means 10 in the present embodiment is a so-called “push button”. The operation means 10 is provided so as to be displaceable between the original position and the operation position displaced by a predetermined amount below the original position. At least that the operation means 10 is located at the operation position is detected by a sensor (not shown). The operation means 10 is not limited to a “push button”. The player may be able to displace the predetermined range by applying a force and can detect the position at the operation position by a sensor or the like. Moreover, the structure by which multiple operation directions (operation mode) were set may be sufficient. For example, a lever that can be pushed and pulled in the front-rear direction may be used. Moreover, it is good also as a structure with which the several operation means 10 was provided.

2-2) Basic Mode of Operation Effect The operation effect is an effect that prompts (requests) the player to operate the operation means 10. The gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment generates a plurality of types of operation effects with different scenes to be executed and required operation modes (described later). In the operation effect, an operation effective period in which the operation of the operation means 10 is reflected in the effect is set. During the operation effective period, a meter 11 (see FIG. 3 or the like) or a number (a number to be counted down) indicating the remaining time or elapsed time of the operation effective period may be displayed. In addition, an operation image 12 representing the operation means 10 (see FIG. 3 etc.) is displayed so that the player can easily grasp that the timing (time) at which the operation means 10 should be operated has arrived. If it is known that the image is an image, it may be any form), or a display 13 (see FIG. 3, etc., for example, “Press!”) Indicating that the operation means 10 should be operated. It should be done. Note that the mode of the operation effect is merely an example. It is assumed that all the effects in such a manner as to require the player to operate the operation means 10 are included in the operation effects.

  Various operation modes of the operation means 10 required in the operation effect are conceivable. Single operation of changing the operating means 10 from the original position to the operating position only once, and displacing the operating means 10 from the original position to the operating position are repeated a plurality of times (single operation is repeated a plurality of times). A maintenance operation (so-called “long press”) or the like in which the operation means 10 is displaced from the original position to the operation position and the state is maintained can be exemplified. The gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment has an operation effect that prompts a single operation (see FIG. 4A. Hereinafter, sometimes referred to as a single operation effect), and an operation effect that prompts a continuous operation (see FIG. 4B). Hereinafter, the operation effect (which may be referred to as a continuous operation effect) and the operation effect that prompts the maintenance operation (see FIG. 4C. Hereinafter, also referred to as the maintenance operation effect) may occur.

3) Aspect change effect that occurs during an operation effect Hereinafter, the aspect change effect that occurs during an operation effect will be described. In addition, it is good also as a structure which can perform only a part of matter demonstrated below. Further, when an operation effect occurs, the following aspect change effect does not necessarily occur.

3-1) Visual Aspect Change Effect The operation unit 10 includes a change unit 101 where the visual aspect changes. The operating means 10 in the present embodiment includes a change unit 101 and a cover 109 that covers the change unit 101 (see FIG. 5). Since the cover 109 is formed of a light transmissive material (a colorless and transparent material in the present embodiment), the player can visually recognize the aspect of the change portion 101 through the cover 109. The change of the change unit 101 may be any change as long as the change can be grasped by the player's vision. In the present embodiment, the changing unit 101 includes a light source (LED) that can change the luminance. That is, the visual aspect of the changing unit 101 changes by changing the luminance of the light source. It is good also as what can change the visual aspect of the change part 101 by changing elements other than a brightness | luminance, for example, luminescent color.

  The visual aspect change effect is an effect in which the aspect of the change unit 101 changes as the operation effective period elapses. The aspect of the change unit 101 may continue to change during the entire operation effective period, or the aspect of the change unit 101 may change during a part of the operation effective period (period in which the aspect of the change unit 101 is maintained). (Even if there is). If the period during which the mode of the change unit 101 changes during the operation effective period is defined as the change period, the brightness of the change unit 101 is controlled to gradually increase with the passage of time in the change period. That is, in the present embodiment, in the change period, one element constituting the visual aspect changes in the increasing direction or the decreasing direction. Therefore, from the player's viewpoint, the mode of the change unit 101 does not change suddenly (the mode changes suddenly), but the mode of change changes gradually over time. However, there is no denying that the aspect of the change unit 101 changes suddenly.

  In the present embodiment, the change unit 101 does not emit light at the start of the operation effective period (the luminance is 0), and changes gradually from there as the operation effective period elapses. (See FIG. 6).

  Occurrence of such a visual aspect change effect makes the operation effect (during the operation effective period) gorgeous, and it is possible to improve the game preference. In addition, since the mode of the changing unit 101 gradually changes as the operation effective period elapses, an effect mode as if the operation means 10 itself represents the time elapse during the operation effective period.

  The configuration relating to the visual aspect change effect can be changed, improved, or embodied as follows. In addition, it is good also as a structure which applied combining the matter (technology) demonstrated in the following examples.

a) The mode of the change unit 101 is maintained in a period other than the operation effective period in the operation effect. For example, the operation effective period is not set at the same time when the operation effect is started, but the operation of the operation means 10 is reflected in the effect between the time when the operation effect starts and the time when the operation effective period starts. A period during which the period is not set (hereinafter referred to as an introduction period) may be set. In the introduction period, for example, an instruction issued to the player (for example, an instruction such as “Defeat the enemy”) is displayed. In addition, a period (hereinafter referred to as an end period) from when the operation effective period ends until the end of the effect is shown may be set.

  In the period in which the operation of the operation means 10 such as the introduction period and the end period is not reflected in the effect, the aspect of the changing unit 101 is maintained (see FIG. 7). For example, in the introduction period and the end period, the state where the change unit 101 does not emit light (the state where the luminance is 0) is maintained. By doing in this way, it is possible to make it easy to understand that these periods are periods in which the operation of the operation means 10 is not reflected in the effect. In addition, it is preferable that the aspect of the operation means 10 in the said period is an aspect (initial aspect mentioned later) at the time of a visual aspect change production being started.

b) When the operation means 10 is operated, the operation valid period may end halfway. For example, in the single operation effect, when the operation means 10 is operated during the operation effective period, the end of the effect is shown. Further, in the continuous operation effect and the maintenance operation effect, the ending of the effect may be indicated when the continuous operation and the maintenance operation during the operation effective period satisfy a predetermined condition. When this ending is shown, it means that it is not necessary to operate the operating means 10 any more. Therefore, when the ending is shown, the operation valid period ends (before the time continually ends). It ends in the middle). When the operation effective period ends midway while the mode of the change unit 101 is gradually changing, the mode change of the change unit 101 is stopped at that time. In the present embodiment, the mode of the change unit 101 is returned to the initial mode (default mode) (see FIG. 8). For example, in a change mode in which the luminance is gradually increased from a state in which the change unit 101 does not emit light at all (brightness 0), the change unit 101 immediately emits light when the operation effective period ends halfway. It returns to the state which does not exist (refer FIG.8 (c)). By doing so, it becomes easy to understand that the operation valid period has ended.

c) In the operation effect, a display that prompts the user to operate the operation means 10 at a specific time point during the operation effective period shall be made. For example, a mark M indicating a specific time point is displayed along with the meter 11 displayed in the single operation effect, and the operation means 10 is urged to be operated (single operation) when the mark M is indicated. It is assumed that a production occurs (see FIG. 9). By displaying such a mark M, the player may feel that something good will happen if the operating means 10 is operated at the time (specific time) when the mark M is displayed. Receive. A specific time point (strictly speaking, if the specific time point is “one point”, it is extremely difficult to make the timing coincide with the operation time point. Therefore, the specific time point is a predetermined point including a certain time point (a time point indicated by a mark M). What is the profit given to the player by operating the operating means 10 in a period having a time span (not a profit related to playing, but a profit in production)? May be. It can be exemplified that some special effects are generated, and points on the effects linked with the mobile terminal are given (detailed explanation is omitted because they are known).

  In such a single operation effect in which a specific time point is set, as the visual mode change effect, the mode of the change unit 101 gradually changes from the start time point when the operation effective period starts to the specific time point (FIG. 9 ( a) and (b)), the change amount of the change unit 101 is maximized at the specific time point (see FIG. 9C). For example, as in the above embodiment, if the change mode is such that the luminance of the change unit 101 gradually increases, the change mode is set so that the luminance of the change unit 101 is the highest at a specific time point. In addition, for example, if the light emission color of the change unit 101 is gradually changed to “red”, the element “red” of the light emission color (the color of the predetermined color) is the most at a specific time. A change mode that increases. By changing the change unit 101 in this way, the change of the change unit 101 serves as a guide for a player who intends to operate the operation means 10 at a specific time.

  When the operation means 10 is not operated at a specific time, the operation valid period is continued as it is. In this case, after the specific time has elapsed, the changing unit 101 may be changed so as to gradually approach the mode at the start time (see FIG. 9D). For example, as in the above embodiment, if the change mode is such that the luminance of the change unit 101 gradually increases, the operation effective period elapses after the luminance of the change unit 101 becomes the highest at a specific time. The change mode is such that the luminance of the change unit 101 gradually decreases. Further, for example, if the change mode is such that the emission color of the change unit 101 gradually approaches “red”, the operation effective period after the “red” element of the emission color becomes the largest at a specific time point. As the value of elapses, the “red” element of the emission color is changed so as to gradually become smaller. By doing in this way, it becomes easy to understand the passage of time after the passage of the specific time point.

  If it is assumed that the specific time point is set at a substantially intermediate time point in the operation effective period, it is easy to understand that the time point at which the change amount of the change unit 101 becomes the largest is an approximately intermediate time point (turnback point) in the operation effective period. It is possible to show. In addition, the change speed of the aspect of the change unit 101 from the start point of the operation effective period to the specific time point (for example, the speed at which the brightness increases) and the end point of the operation effective period from the specific time point (when no operation is performed at all) It is possible to control the change rate of the aspect of the change unit 101 (for example, the rate at which the luminance decreases) to be in an inversely proportional relationship (see FIG. 10).

  The same technical idea can be applied to the continuous operation effect and the maintenance operation effect. For example, a specific time is set as a time point at which a continuous operation (continuous hitting) should be started in the continuous operation effect and a time point at which the maintenance operation (long press) should be started in the maintenance operation effect.

d) In the operation effect, the visual aspect change effect may or may not occur. And when the visual aspect change production | generation produces | generates, it sets so that the probability that the end of an operation production will be advantageous to a player becomes high compared with the case where it does not generate | occur | produce. Further, if the end result of the operation effect is related to the probability that the result of the determination of the success / failure will be a jackpot (hit reliability), it can be said that the occurrence of the visual appearance change effect suggests the jackpot reliability. . In other words, the probability that an event advantageous to the player will occur after the operation effect (the end of the operation effect occurs after the operation effect “after”) due to the presence or absence of the visual aspect change effect (hereinafter simply referred to as “ It may also be referred to as “reliability”). In this way, it is possible to realize the gameability that the player pays attention to whether or not the visual aspect change effect occurs. In addition, it is good also as a setting where reliability becomes higher when the visual aspect change effect does not occur than when the visual aspect change effect occurs.

e) It is assumed that a plurality of types of aspects are set as the aspects of the visual aspect change effect. For example, it is assumed that a plurality of types having different maximum luminances during the operation effective period are set. The reliability is suggested depending on which aspect of the visual aspect change effect is generated. In this way, it is possible to realize a game property that a player pays attention to how the change unit 101 changes.

  In addition, when setting it as this structure, it is preferable to combine a part of content demonstrated by said c). Specifically, a point in time when the change amount of the change unit 101 is the largest is indicated by a mark M or the like. By doing in this way, since the reliability is suggested depending on what aspect the change unit 101 is in at the time when the mark M is indicated, the suggestion of the reliability becomes easy to understand. .

3-2) Movable Production The operation means 10 has a movable part 102 that can automatically operate (the player can operate without applying force) (see FIG. 11). In the present embodiment, the changing unit 101 itself is also the movable unit 102. Therefore, the movement of the movable part 102 is visually recognized through the cover 109. The changing unit 101 and the movable unit 102 may be separate bodies. Further, a configuration in which the entire operation unit 10 is the movable portion 102 (a configuration in which the entire operation unit 10 can automatically operate) may be employed. The movable portion 102 in the present embodiment is a portion that can change from one of a stationary state (see FIG. 11A) and a vibrated state (see FIG. 11B) to the other. .

  The movable effect is an effect in which the aspect of the movable unit 102 changes during the operation effective period. In the present embodiment, there is an effect in which the movable unit 102 that has been stationary at the start of the operation effective period vibrates in the middle of the operation effective period (see FIG. 12). Since the movable portion 102 is a portion that can be visually recognized by the player (in this embodiment, it can be visually recognized through the cover 109), the visual change that the movable portion 102 that has been stationary vibrates occurs. You can say that. In addition, if the vibration of the movable portion 102 is such that the player can feel through the launching device (launching handle), it can be said that the effect is a tactile change.

  By adopting a configuration in which such a movable effect can occur, an unexpected change occurs during the operation effective period, so that it is possible to improve the game preference.

  The configuration relating to the movable effect can be changed, improved, or embodied as follows. In addition, it is good also as a structure which applied combining the matter (technology) demonstrated in the following examples.

a) In the operation effect, the movable effect may or may not occur. And when a movable production | generation produces | generates, it sets so that reliability (it has already stated about reliability) becomes high compared with the case where it does not generate | occur | produce. With such a configuration, in the operation effect, the game that the player pays attention to whether or not the movable effect is generated (the game that will hope that the movable part 102 in a stationary state vibrates). Can be realized. It is not necessarily denied that the setting is such that the reliability is higher when the movable effect does not occur than when it occurs.

b) The movable effect is such that the movable part 102 that was stationary at the start of the operation effective period vibrates in the middle of the operation effective period, but is stationary at the start of the operation effective period. A change may be made such that the movable unit 102 that has been in a stationary state is stationary during the operation effective period.

c) The movable part 102 that has been stationary at the start of the operation effective period changes to a stationary state after vibrating in the middle of the operation effective period, and the movable part 102 in the stationary state again A change that vibrates may occur. That is, it may be possible that the stationary state and the vibrating state may be repeated a plurality of times. In the configuration described in the above b), the vibration state and the stationary state may be repeated a plurality of times.

  In this case, it is assumed that the reliability is suggested by the number of occurrences of the production mode in which the change from the vibration state to the stationary state in the configuration of the stationary state to the vibration state (b) is performed once. For example, it is conceivable to set such that the higher the number of occurrences of the production mode, the higher the reliability.

d) It is assumed that a plurality of types of modes are set as the mode of operation of the movable unit 102. Any method may be used for setting the difference between the operation modes. For example, a method of making a difference in the amplitude and frequency of vibration can be considered. Under such preconditions, it is assumed that the reliability varies depending on the manner in which the movable unit 102 that has been in a stationary state operates (vibrates). For example, as the operation mode, the first operation mode to the third operation mode are set, the movable effect is not generated (the reliability is lowest), the first operation mode is generated, the second operation mode is generated, and the third operation mode is set. It is set so that the reliability becomes higher in the order of occurrence (highest reliability). In this way, not only the movable part 102 operates, but also the gameability that the player pays attention to how the movable part 102 operates can be realized.

  In addition, it is assumed that a plurality of types of operation modes are set as the operation modes of the movable unit 102, and the movable unit 102 that has been operating in one operation mode may change to another operation mode. Good. As described above, if each operation mode has a configuration in which the reliability is associated, it indicates that the reliability has increased due to the change in the operation mode (the change in the operation mode is set as a so-called chance up). can do.
