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 the present embodiment, notification of the result of the success / failure determination 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 80 group) is started). When the determination result based on the numerical value acquired before that is notified, the control board (not shown) is not notified until the notification of the correctness determination result based on the certain numerical value is started. It is stored in the provided 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) Jackpot game When the result of the determination is a jackpot, a jackpot game is executed. The jackpot game is a unit game (a game for one round) in which the big prize opening 906 is opened until a predetermined condition is satisfied, one or more times. As the predetermined condition, it is set that a predetermined number of game balls have been won in the big prize opening 906, or that a predetermined time has passed since the big prize opening 906 was opened.

  In this embodiment, it is notified that the determination result is a jackpot (when a combination identification symbol 80 indicating a jackpot is displayed; see FIG. 3A) (see FIG. 3 ( In (b)), a big hit game (unit game of the first round) is started when a game ball enters the specific area 50 (see FIG. 3 (c)) (see FIG. 3 (d)). The big winning opening 906 is provided on the right side of the game area (the area in which a game ball launched by right hitting can enter), and the specific area 50 is also provided on the right side of the game area (FIG. 1). reference). Therefore, if the player makes a right strike, the game ball enters the specific area 50, and the game ball wins in the big winning opening 906 opened by continuing the right strike. The specific area 50 is provided at a position where the game ball surely enters the specific area 50 when the player plays a game as directed (right-handed in the present embodiment). Therefore, the jackpot game can be started at the timing intended by the player. The specific area 50 (a sensor that detects that a game ball has entered the specific area 50) constitutes a so-called combination actuating device.

3) Operation effect In this embodiment, the operation effect using the operation means 10 is generated during a specific period before the jackpot game is started (see FIG. 3B). In other words, an effect is generated in which an operation effective period in which the operation of the operation means 10 is reflected in the effect is generated. As long as the player can operate, any specific mode of the operation means 10 may be used. It is good also as a structure by which the multiple types of operation means 10 was provided. An example of the operation means 10 is a so-called “push button”.

  The specific period continues until a game ball enters the specific area 50. In other words, the progress of the game (refers to the progress of the game related to the substantial profit of the player, such as determination of success / failure or execution of the jackpot game), until the game ball enters the specific area 50. Since the operation effect is executed during the specific period, the specific period will not end unless the game ball enters the specific area 50 (unless the game ball is fired). The operation effect of will not end. In other words, the player can spend time on the operation effect (it can take time for selection by operation of the operation means 10).

  In the operation effect, the player is prompted to operate the operation means 10. For example, an image imitating the operation means 10 (operation image) is displayed, and a character indicating the operation mode (for example, a character such as “press”) is displayed, so that the player can operate the operation means 10 effectively. Therefore, it is possible to grasp the operation mode of the operating means 10 that is required. As the operation effects, various effects can be exemplified. All of the effects exemplified below may be generated, or only some effects may be generated. For example, when two or more types of operation effects described below can occur, it is conceivable that the type of operation effect to be generated changes depending on the type of jackpot.

3-1) Selection effect for selecting an effect to be executed during the jackpot game (see FIG. 4)
It is assumed that various candidate effects are set as effects that can be executed during the jackpot game (when the player should fire a game ball toward the big winning opening 906). For example, a configuration in which a plurality of videos are provided as videos displayed in the display area 911 during the jackpot and each of the videos is set as a candidate effect is conceivable. It is assumed that the player can arbitrarily select an effect to be executed during the jackpot game to be generated during a specific period from among a plurality of types of candidate effects.

  In this effect, candidate images 30 (images that suggest or explain the contents of the candidate effect) corresponding to each of the selectable candidate effects are displayed, and by operating the operating means 10 (for example, a cross key), The cursor C is set to the candidate image 30 (see FIG. 4A). Then, by operating another operation means 10 (for example, a push button), a candidate effect corresponding to the candidate image 30 on which the cursor C is placed is selected (see FIG. 4B). When a game ball enters the specific area 50 during the production, a candidate production corresponding to the candidate image 30 to which the cursor C is placed at that time is selected. That is, the entry of the game ball into the specific area 50 is handled as having determined an option. During the jackpot game, the selected effect is executed (see FIG. 4C).

  Since the big hit game is not started unless the game ball enters the specific area 50, the player can carefully select a favorite candidate effect.

  Further, in this effect, when the player selects any candidate image 30 before entering the game ball into the specific area 50, it corresponds to the candidate image 30 even if the jackpot game has not started. It is advisable to start the candidate production. In this way, it is possible for the player to enjoy the candidate effect in a state where the jackpot game has not started. In other words, if it was a general gaming machine, it was necessary to see the effect while firing the game ball, but if it is configured as described above, it is possible to enjoy only the effect without firing the game ball Become.

3-2) Selection effect for selecting music to be output during jackpot game (see FIG. 5)
It is assumed that various candidate music pieces are set as music pieces that can be output from the speaker 20 (sound output means) during the big hit game (when the player should launch a game ball toward the big winning opening 906). It is assumed that the player can arbitrarily select an effect to be executed during the jackpot game to be generated during a specific period from among a plurality of types of candidate effects.

  In this effect, candidate images 30 (images that suggest or explain the contents of candidate songs) corresponding to each of the selectable candidate songs are displayed, and by operating the operation means 10 (for example, a cross key), The cursor C is set to the candidate image 30 (see FIG. 5A). Then, by operating another operation means 10 (for example, a push button), a candidate song corresponding to the candidate image 30 on which the cursor C is placed is selected (see FIG. 5B). When a game ball enters the specific area 50 during the performance, a candidate song corresponding to the candidate image 30 to which the cursor C is placed at that time is selected. That is, the entry of the game ball into the specific area 50 is handled as having determined an option. During the jackpot game, the selected music is output from the speaker 20 (see FIG. 5C).

  Since the big hit game is not started unless the game ball enters the specific area 50, the player can carefully select a favorite candidate song.

  Further, in this effect, when the player selects any candidate image 30 before entering the game ball into the specific area 50, it corresponds to the candidate image 30 even if the jackpot game has not started. The output of the candidate music may be started. In this way, it becomes possible for the player to enjoy the music in a state where the jackpot game has not started. In other words, if it was a general gaming machine, it was necessary to listen to the music while firing the game ball, but if it is configured as described above, it is possible to enjoy only the music without firing the game ball Become.

3-3) Reset effect It is assumed that an effect executed during a jackpot game can proceed by continuing the game (hereinafter, the effect is referred to as a progress effect). For example, when a normal gaming state and a special gaming state (so-called time-reduced gaming state or probability variation state) more advantageous than the normal gaming state are set as the gaming state, and a big hit is won without shifting to the normal gaming state ( When it becomes a so-called “ream Chang”), the progressing performance is made to progress. It is assumed that “progress of progress effect” is that a plurality of types of effects in which a predetermined order is set are provided as the progress effect, and the contents of the effect change along the order. For example, it is conceivable that an original story that is a motif of the gaming machine 1 is divided into a plurality of pieces and set as a progress effect so that the story progresses.

  Under such a premise, a reset effect capable of resetting the progress effect is generated during a specific period. For example, the selection image 31 that is an option for whether or not to reset the effect is displayed in the display area 911, and the cursor C is set to any of the selection images 31 by operating the operation means 10 (for example, the cross key). (See FIG. 6A). Then, by operating another operation means 10 (for example, a push button), the selection image 31 on which the cursor C is placed is selected (see FIG. 6B). When a game ball enters the specific area 50 during the performance, it is assumed that an option corresponding to the selection image 31 on which the cursor C is placed at that time is selected. That is, the entry of the game ball into the specific area 50 is handled as having determined an option.

  When the player selects an option for resetting the progress effect, the progress effect is reset (see FIG. 6C). Specifically, when the progress effect is reset, the effect executed during the jackpot game that occurs thereafter becomes the “first” effect in the predetermined order. If the progress effect is not reset, the progress effect executed during the current jackpot game is determined based on the progress effect executed during the previous jackpot game.

  Since the big hit game is not started unless the game ball enters the specific area 50, the player can carefully examine whether or not to reset the progress effect.

3-4) Bonus content suggestion effect It is assumed that multiple types of jackpots are set as jackpots. Each jackpot is assumed to have a different profit (referred to as a direct profit related to a game ball that can be obtained) that can be obtained by the player. For example, it is assumed that a first jackpot in which the gaming state after the jackpot game ends is a normal gaming state and a second jackpot in which a gaming state (for example, a so-called probability variation state) that is more advantageous than the normal gaming state is set. . The difference in profits may be set based on the expected value of the number of game balls that can be acquired during the jackpot game (expected value of the game).

  And, at the time of winning the jackpot, there is an effect of notifying whether the winning jackpot is the first jackpot or the second jackpot, and notifying the type of jackpot during the jackpot game or after the jackpot game is finished (a jackpot content notification effect) Shall be executed. As the jackpot content notification effect, during the jackpot game, an effect in which the ally character and the enemy character fight is executed, and when the ally character wins, it becomes the second jackpot, and when the ally character defeats, the first An effect that can be a big hit can be exemplified. It should be noted that a notification mode in which it is determined in advance that the second jackpot is established may be set when the jackpot is won. The jackpot content suggestion effect described below occurs when the winning jackpot is not notified whether the winning jackpot is the first jackpot or the second jackpot.

  Under such a premise, a jackpot content suggestion effect occurs during a specific period. The jackpot content suggestion effect indicates the ending of the jackpot content notification effect that is executed after the jackpot game is started. That is, it is suggested whether the jackpot started by making the game ball enter the specific area 50 is the first jackpot or the second jackpot during the specified period, that is, before the jackpot game is started. The jackpot is not a definitive notification of the type of jackpot, but only a “suggestion” (an indication of the probability of being a second jackpot), and if it is an effect that occurs when the operation means 10 is operated, Any specific mode of the content suggestion effect may be used. For example, the player urges the player to operate the operating means 10 (see FIG. 7A), and the ending style of the effect executed with the operation of the operating means 10 is the first ending (for example, the enemy side It is more likely that the second jackpot is in the case of the second ending (for example, the aspect in which the voice of the teammate character is output from the speaker 20) than in the case in which the voice of the character is output from the speaker 20. Is set to be high (see FIG. 7B).

  When the player does not operate the operating means 10 during the specific period, the outcome of the jackpot content suggestion effect does not occur (see FIGS. 7A and 7C). That is, if you do not want to enjoy the effect of the jackpot content suggestion effect, you can start the jackpot game without operating the operation means 10. In order to clarify this point, when the operation of the operation means 10 is prompted, the meaning (action, etc.) of the jackpot content suggestion effect may be displayed. For example, it is assumed that a message such as “Is there a possibility of winning if the button is pressed?” Is displayed (see FIG. 7A).

  Since the jackpot game is not started unless the game ball enters the specific area 50, it is possible for the player to carefully determine whether or not to enjoy the suggestion effect by generating the end result of the jackpot content suggestion effect. is there.

  The jackpot content suggestion production in the above example explained that it is one of two types of jackpots (first jackpot, second jackpot) depending on the end, but three or more jackpots are set In the arrangement, it may be suggested which jackpot is won.

3-5) On-hold continuous suggestion effect The on-hold continuous suggestion effect indicates whether or not an event advantageous to the player occurs after the jackpot game ends due to the ending. Specifically, when the jackpot is won, the winning judgment information (holding) that has already been acquired, and the winner judgment result based on the winning judgment information is notified after the jackpot game ends, This suggests whether or not there is a big hit among the success / failure determination information during a specific period before the game is started. In other words, it suggests a so-called “reserved chain.”

  The reserved continuous suggestion effect is an effect that informs whether or not there is a big hit in the above-mentioned success / failure determination information by the ending (an effect that definitely indicates whether or not a continuous continuous channel occurs) ), Or the probability (the expectation degree of the reservation continuity) that there is a big hit may be indicated. Moreover, as long as it is the production | generation which a ending occurs in response to operation of the operation means 10, what kind of specific aspect of a reservation continuous suggestion production may be sufficient. For example, it is assumed that a plurality of types of endings are set as the ending of the production, and depending on which ending is executed in response to the operation of the operating means 10 (see FIGS. 8A and 8B). It is assumed that whether or not a reserved run occurs and the probability of the occurrence of the reserved run is high or low.

  When the player does not operate the operation means 10 during the specific period, the end of the hold continuous suggestion effect (hold continuous suggestion) is not executed (see FIGS. 8A and 8C). In other words, if you do not want to enjoy the action of the reserved continuous suggestion effect, the jackpot game may be started without operating the operation means 10. In order to clarify this point, when the operation of the operation means 10 is prompted, the meaning (action or the like) of the reserved continuous suggestion effect may be displayed. For example, it is assumed that a display such as “When a button is pressed and a sound is generated, is the on-hold continuous chain?” (See FIG. 8A).

  Since the big hit game is not started unless the game ball enters the specific area 50, it is possible for the player to carefully determine whether or not to enjoy the suggestive action by generating the end result of the reserved continuous suggestion effect. is there.

  In addition, this presentation suggests whether or not a so-called holding ream will occur, but if the event is advantageous to the player that can occur after the jackpot game ends (after a certain period of time from the end), it is suggested by the presentation Any event may be performed.

4) Modifications, etc. Specific examples of improvements, modifications, and implementations of the gaming machine 1 according to the above embodiment will be described below. In addition, it is good also as a structure which applied the matter demonstrated using each following specific example.

○ First Specific Example The operation effect in the above embodiment is the result of the production triggered by the operation of the operation means 10 during a specific period (in the example described in the above embodiment, the jackpot content suggestion effect or the hold If the operation means 10 is not operated during the specific period, that is, the operation ball 10 is not operated during the specific period, the game ball enters the specific area 50. In this case, it has been explained that the ending of the production is not executed. However, if the game ball enters the specific area 50 and the jackpot game is started without the operation of the operation means 10 during the specific period, the jackpot game is started. After the game is started (during the jackpot game), the ending of the operation effect may be executed (see FIG. 9).

  In this way, a player who wants to grasp the ending of the operation effect before the jackpot game is started should only operate the operating means 10 during a specific period, and the ending of the operation effect is made during the jackpot game. If a player who thinks it may occur (a player who wants to generate a jackpot game quickly) causes the game ball to enter the specific area 50 without operating the operation means 10 during the specific period. Good. That is, there is an advantage that it is possible to enjoy the suggestive action due to the end of the operation effect without operating the operating means 10 during the specific period.

○ Second Specific Example After the winning of the jackpot, the game mode is not notified to the player until the operation means 10 is operated. Specifically, in order to start a jackpot game, it is necessary to allow a game ball to enter the specific area 50, so an instruction to the player to aim at the specific area 50 (for example, “ When the game mode is notified, such as “aim at the right gate”), the notification of the game mode is an operation of the operation means 10 (an operation for determining an option or an operation for generating an end result of the operation effect). Unless it is done). That is, when the operation of the operation means 10 is prompted, the game mode is not notified (see FIG. 10A), and after the operation means 10 is operated (see FIG. 10B), the game state is notified. (See FIG. 10C).

  In this way, the player is always prompted to operate the operation means 10 (the operation image and the image showing the operation mode are displayed) before the game mode is notified. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the game ball from being emitted toward the specific area 50 without operating the operation means 10. That is, if a game mode notification and an operation of the operation means 10 are prompted at the same time, even if the player considers operating the operation means 10, the game is played toward the specific area 50. There is a possibility that the ball will be fired and the specific period will end (there may be a joy of operation). However, according to this example, after the operation of the operation means 10 is prompted, the game mode is notified. Therefore, the possibility that such a situation will occur can be reduced. Even if the game mode is not notified for a player who wants to start the jackpot game as soon as possible, the jackpot game is started when the game ball enters the specific area 50. It is good that it is set as follows.

  In addition, the game mode notification is not generated when the operation unit 10 is operated, but rather when the operation unit 10 is started to be operated (the operation image and the operation mode described above are shown). The time point when the display of the image is started may be earlier than the time point when the game mode notification is started. That is, the notification of the game mode occurs regardless of whether or not the operation means 10 is operated, but by delaying the timing at which the notification is started from the timing at which the operation of the operation means 10 is prompted, It is possible to reduce the possibility that a situation in which the user will be swayed will occur.

Third Example The operation of the operation means 10 is not limited to operating a physical structure. For example, a sensor that detects a part of the player's body may be provided, and detection of the player's hand or the like by the sensor may be handled as an operation of the operation means 10.

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