JP 2017-064255 A

  According to the slot machine described above, it is possible to make a player pay attention to the addition of the number of AT games that is notified after the sign effect, but even if the number of games of the sign effect is changed, the sign effect is not good enough. It was not possible to draw attention to the player, and the interest of the game could not be improved.

  The present invention has been conceived in view of such circumstances, and the object thereof is to provide a gaming machine that can improve the interest of the game by an effect suggesting the provision of an advantageous amount that increases the control period to the advantageous state. It is to be.

(1) In a gaming machine that performs a game (for example, slot machine 1),
Advantageous state control means for controlling the state to an advantageous state (for example, AT) more advantageous than the normal state (non-AT) (for example, processing for controlling to AT by the main control unit 41);
A determining means (for example, the number of added games by the main control unit 41 shown in FIG. 2A) for determining an advantageous amount (for example, the number of added games) for increasing the control period (for example, the number of AT games) to the advantageous state. Process to decide)
Notification effect means for executing the notification effect for notifying the advantageous amount determined by the determination means (for example, processing for executing the notification effect by the sub-control unit 91 shown in FIGS. 9, 10, 15, and 16). When,
Regardless of whether or not the advantageous amount is given, suggestive effect means (for example, FIGS. 5 to 8, and FIG. 5) that executes the suggested effect that suggests the provision of the advantageous amount prior to the execution of the notification effect. 11 to 14), the sub-control unit 91 shown in FIG.
The suggestion producing means is
The more the amount of the advantage notified by the notification effect, the longer the suggestion effect is executed (for example, as the number of games added on the notification increases, as shown in FIG. 2C). The number of games increases),
When the advantageous amount is given, the suggested effect is executed so that the execution period of the suggested effect is longer than when the advantageous amount is not given (for example, as shown in FIGS. 2B and 2C). Thus, when the number of added games is 10G or more (the number of additional games for notification is 10G or more), the number of suggested games is larger than when the number of additional games is 0G (the number of additional games for notification is 0G)) .

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

[Configuration of slot machine]
FIG. 1A is a front view of the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 1B is a view showing an example of a main internal configuration of the slot machine 1.

  As shown in FIG. 1A, the slot machine 1 includes a liquid crystal display 51 that displays an image and a speaker 53 that outputs sound. A see-through window 3 is formed below the liquid crystal display 51. The player can visually recognize the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R arranged in parallel in the slot machine 1 through the see-through window 3. On each of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R, symbols which are a plurality of types of identification information that can be identified are arranged in a predetermined order.

  Below the fluoroscopic window 3, a start switch 7 that is operated when starting a game (game), and a stop switch that is operated to stop the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R and derive a display result. 8L, 8C, and 8R, and a PUSH button 56 for the player to operate in production and the like are provided.

  As shown in FIG. 1B, a main control unit 41 that controls the progress of the game and outputs various commands according to the progress of the game is provided in the slot machine 1. The main control unit 41 includes a main CPU 41a that performs various controls related to the progress of the game, and a RAM 41c that stores various data related to the progress of the game. The main control unit 41 detects operations on the start switch 7 and the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R, and performs control related to the progress of the game according to the detected operations.

  Inside the slot machine 1, there is provided a sub-control unit 91 that controls the production according to a command from the main control unit 41. The sub-control unit 91 includes a sub-CPU 91a that performs various controls related to effects, and a RAM 91c that stores various data related to effects. The sub control unit 91 controls display of an image on the liquid crystal display 51 and sound output from the speaker 53 based on a command from the main control unit 41. The effect data used for the image display of the liquid crystal display 51 and the sound output of the speaker 53 is stored in the RAM 91c. Further, the sub-control unit 91 detects an operation on the PUSH button 56 and controls display of an image on the liquid crystal display 51 and sound output from the speaker 53 according to the detected operation.

  When playing a game in the slot machine 1, the player sets a prescribed number of bets by inserting medals into a medal insertion unit (not shown) or operating a BET switch (not shown). As a result, the winning line LN becomes valid, and the operation to the start switch 7 becomes valid so that the game can be started. The winning line LN is a line for determining whether or not the symbol combination on the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R displayed on the transparent window 3 matches the winning symbol combination.

  When the start switch 7 is operated in a state where the game can be started, the reels 2L, 2C, 2R rotate. At this time, an internal lottery is performed by the main control unit 41. The internal lottery is a process of determining a symbol combination (display result combination) that allows derivation. The fact that the derivation of the symbol combination is permitted by the internal lottery is also said to have won the winning combination corresponding to the symbol combination.

  When the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated, the rotation of the reel corresponding to the operated stop switch is stopped. As a result, the symbol combination is derived and displayed on the transparent window 3. Of the operations on the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R for stopping the rotation of the reel, the operation for stopping the rotation of the first reel is the first stop operation, and the rotation of the second reel is stopped. This operation is also referred to as a second stop operation, and an operation for stopping the rotation of the third reel is also referred to as a third stop operation. Stopping the rotation of the first reel is called a first stop, stopping the rotation of the second reel is called a second stop, and stopping the rotation of the third reel is also called a third stop. When the symbol combination that matches the symbol combination of the winning combination is stopped on the winning line LN, a winning corresponding to the winning combination is generated.

  Special combinations (bonus), small combination, and replay combination are provided as combinations that can be awarded. The bonus is a role in which the gaming state is controlled to a bonus state in which the probability of winning a small role is higher than the non-bonus state by winning. A small role is a role to which a medal is awarded by winning a prize. The re-playing combination (replay) is a combination that allows the next game to be started without consuming a medal owned by the player by winning.

  Among the small roles and replay roles described above, there are those called rare roles. The rare combination includes, for example, a cherry that wins when a cherry symbol is derived as a display result, and a watermelon that wins when a watermelon symbol is derived as a display result.

[AT]
In the present embodiment, when a predetermined condition is established, a privilege is given to the player. As a privilege, there is a right to control an advantageous state that is more advantageous to the player than the normal state. As an advantageous state, for example, there is AT (assist time). AT is a state in which information that can specify the operation mode (operation order, operation timing) of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R according to the result of the internal lottery is notified.

  Specifically, the small role and the replaying role include what is called push order. As the push order, for example, there is a so-called push order bell. For the push order bell, different symbol combinations are derived as display results depending on the push order (operation order) of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, and different winnings are generated accordingly. For example, in a game that has been won in the push order bell, when the stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R is operated in the correct answer procedure, a role called the main character wins, and the stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R is operated in the incorrect answer procedure. When a prize is played, a role called a secondary role wins or the winning is missed. The number of medals to be paid out when the leading role wins is greater than or equal to the number of medals to be paid out when the secondary role wins. Furthermore, the number of medals paid out when the leading role wins is larger than the number of bets.

  Therefore, when the stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R is operated in the correct answer procedure in the game won in the push order bell, more medals are paid out than the bet number, and further, the stop switch 8L, 8C, More medals or the same number of medals are paid out than when the 8R is operated, and no winning is missed. In AT, since the correct answer procedure is notified when the push order bell is won, the player can obtain more medals than the normal state (non-AT), which is advantageous. .

  Moreover, there is what is called push order replay in push order. In the push order replay, different symbol combinations are derived as display results in accordance with the push order (operation order) of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, thereby generating different winnings. For example, in a game won in push order replay, when the stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R is operated in the correct procedure, the game is controlled to an RT (replay time) state in which the winning probability of the re-gamer is higher than the current state. When the stop switch 8L, 8C, or 8R is operated in the incorrect answer procedure, the current state is maintained or a role that is controlled to be more disadvantageous for the player than the current state is won. To do.

  Therefore, when the stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R is operated in the correct procedure in the game won in the push order replay, the game after that is performed more than when the stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R is operated in the incorrect procedure. Since the winning probability of the re-gamer is increased, the game can be advanced to the player without consuming medals. In AT, since the correct answer procedure is notified when the push order replay is won, for the player, the AT may advance the game without consuming medals than in the normal state (non-AT). This is an advantageous situation.

  Thus, since the AT is an advantageous state that is more advantageous to the player than the normal state (non-AT), the situation that is advantageous to the player will continue as the control period for the AT increases. .

  In the normal state (non-AT), the main control unit 41 performs a lottery to determine whether or not to give the number of AT games, which is a right to control the AT when winning a role such as a rare role or a bonus. . When the main control unit 41 determines that the number of AT games is to be given in the lottery, the main control unit 41 controls the AT by digesting the given number of AT games for each game.

[Various lotteries regarding the addition of AT games]
In the AT, when a predetermined condition is satisfied, an extra game for increasing the control period to the AT may be given. 2 and 3 are diagrams for explaining various lotteries regarding the addition of the AT game.

  The main control unit 41 performs an additional game number lottery to determine whether or not to give an additional game number that increases the control period to the AT when a rare role such as cherry or watermelon or bonus is won in the AT.

  FIG. 2A shows an extra game number lottery table used for the extra game number lottery. As shown in FIG. 2 (a), the main control unit 41 determines that 0G, based on a predetermined probability, for example, when any of cherry, watermelon, and bonus is won in the extra game number lottery. The number of additional games is determined from 10G, 50G, and 100G.

  When the number of added games is determined by the number-of-addition game number lottery by the main control unit 41, the sub-control unit 91 notifies the player of the number of added games determined to be given (also referred to as the number of added games). ) To determine the number of games to be added.

  FIG. 2B shows a notifying added game number lottery table used for the notifying added game number lottery. As shown in FIG. 2B, the sub-control unit 91 selects 0G, 10G, 50G, and 100G based on a predetermined probability for each number of added games determined to be given in the information added game number lottery. The number of games to be added to the notification is determined from the list.

  For example, when the number of added games determined to be granted is 0G, there is no number of additional games to be notified, so the number of notification added games is determined to be 0G with a probability of 100%. When the number of added games determined to be granted is 10G, the number of notification added games is determined to be 10G with a probability of 100%. When the number of added games determined to be granted is 50G, the number of notification added games is determined to be 10G with a probability of 50%, and the number of notification added games is determined to be 50G with a probability of 50%. When the number of added games determined to be granted is 100G, the number of notification added games is determined to be 50G with a probability of 50%, and the number of notification added games is determined to be 100G with a probability of 50%.

  The number of information added games determined by the information added game number lottery is notified by the result of the notification effect executed by the sub-control unit 91. The notification effect is an effect of notifying the player of the provision of a part or all of the number of added games determined by the number of added games. When a part of the number of added games determined to be given is notified by a notification effect, the remaining number of additional games to be unreported is so-called latent, and a predetermined timing thereafter (for example, the notified AT game) The player is informed at the timing when all the numbers are consumed or at the same time as the next notification effect).

  The notification effect includes a first notification effect and a second notification effect. The first notification effect is, for example, a battle effect in which a teammate character and an enemy character develop a battle and notify whether or not an additional game number is to be given depending on the result of the battle. A specific aspect of the first notification effect will be described later with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10. The second notification effect is, for example, a mission effect that notifies whether or not an additional game number is to be given depending on whether or not the mission of arriving at the castle toward the castle has been achieved. A specific aspect of the second notification effect will be described later with reference to FIGS. 15 and 16.

  The sub-control unit 91 performs the lottery of the suggestion effect game number to determine the number of games of the suggestion effect (also referred to as the number of suggestion effect games) when the number of information addition games is determined by the information addition game number lottery. The suggestion effect is an effect that suggests the execution of the notification effect and the provision of the additional number of games prior to the execution of the notification effect. In the suggestion effect, suggestion display for displaying an icon image (a cloud icon to be described later) or the like for making an suggestion regarding the granting of each game and the extra game is performed.

  The suggestion effect includes a first suggestion effect and a second suggestion effect. The first suggestion effect is an effect executed prior to the execution of the first notification effect. For example, the first suggestion effect is a treasure box effect that displays a suggestion when a character appears and opens a treasure box. The second suggestion effect is an effect executed prior to the execution of the second notification effect. For example, the second suggestion effect is a curtain effect in which suggestion display is performed by opening the curtain. When the suggestion effect is executed over a plurality of games, a game suggestion display is performed every time. Moreover, when the suggestion effect is executed over a plurality of games, the same type of suggestion effect is executed for each game. Thus, since the same kind of suggestion effects are repeated for each game, it is easy for the player to understand that the suggestion effects are continuously performed.

  In the final game of the first suggestion effect, an effect suggesting the end timing of the first notification effect executed over a plurality of games (2G to 4G in the present embodiment) is executed. For example, in the first suggestion effect, the content of the lines that the character emits changes according to the end timing of the first notification effect. Specifically, when there is a high probability that the end timing of the first notification effect will be early, a line image “I expect an early conclusion” indicating that the first notification effect will end soon is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 together with the character. Is displayed, and the speaker 53 outputs a voice “I expect it to be settled early”. In addition, when there is a high probability that the end timing of the first notification effect will be delayed, a dialogue image of “may be a long battle” suggesting that the first notification effect ends late is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 together with the character, The speaker 53 also outputs a sound “may be a long battle”.

  Depending on the end timing of the first notification effect, the advantage relating to the addition of the number of added games is different. Therefore, it is possible to cause the player to pay attention to the effect indicating the end timing of the first notification effect during the first suggestion effect. it can. A specific aspect of the suggestion effect will be described later with reference to FIGS. 5 to 8 and FIGS.

  FIG. 2C shows a suggestion effect game number lottery table used for the suggestion effect game number lottery. As shown in FIG. 2 (c), the sub-control unit 91 determines the number of suggested effect games from 0G to 4G based on a predetermined probability for each number of notification added games in the number of suggested effect games. decide.

  For example, when the number of games added to the notification is 0G, the suggested effect game number is determined as 0G with a probability of 70%, the suggested effect game number is determined as 1G with a probability of 20%, and the suggested effect game is determined with a probability of 10%. The number is determined to be 2G. When the number of games added to the notification is 10G, the number of suggested effect games is determined to be 1G with a probability of 50%, and the number of suggested effect games is determined to be 2G with a probability of 50%. When the number of games added to the notification is 50G, the suggested effect game number is determined to be 0G with a probability of 10%, the suggested effect game number is determined to be 1G with a probability of 10%, and the suggested effect game number is determined with a probability of 10%. The number of suggested effect games is determined to be 3G with a probability of 70%. When the number of games added to the notification is 100G, the suggested effect game number is determined to be 0G with a probability of 5%, the suggested effect game number is determined to be 1G with a probability of 5%, and the suggested effect game number is determined with a probability of 5%. The number of suggested effect games is determined to be 3G with a probability of 5%, and the number of suggested effect games is determined to be 4G with a probability of 80%.

  By determining the number of suggested effect games with the probability as described above, in the relationship between the number of suggested effect games and the number of additional games to be added, the addition rate, the added amount, and the multiplication result of the added rate and the added amount are as follows. There is a tendency. The addition rate is a probability that the number of additional games is notified for each number of suggested effect games. The added amount is the number of additional games to be notified when the number of additional games is notified for each number of suggested effect games.

  Specifically, when the number of suggested effect games is 0G, the loading rate is about 18%, the loading amount is about 67G, and the multiplication result of the loading rate and the loading amount is about 12G. When the number of suggested effect games is 1G, the loading rate is about 76%, the loading amount is about 23G, and the multiplication result of the loading rate and the loading amount is about 17G. When the number of suggested effect games is 2G, the loading rate is about 87%, the loading amount is about 23G, and the multiplication result of the loading rate and the loading amount is about 20G. When the number of suggested effect games is 3G, the loading rate is 100%, the loading amount is about 53G, and the multiplication result of the loading rate and the loading amount is about 53G. When the number of suggested effect games is 4G, the loading rate is 100%, the loading amount is 100G, and the multiplication result of the loading rate and the loading amount is 100G.

  As a result, the greater the number of suggested effect games, the greater the number of additional games (the amount added) when the number of additional games is notified. For this reason, the player can be made to pay attention to the suggestion effect, and the player can play the game while expecting the execution period of the suggestion effect to continue.

  The greater the number of suggested effect games, the higher the probability (addition rate) that the number of additional games will be notified. In other words, for example, when the number of added games is 10G or more (the number of notification added games is 10G or more), the number of suggested games is larger than when the number of added games is 0G (number of notification added games is 0G). Become. For this reason, it is possible to make the player pay attention to the number of suggested effect games being executed, and to allow the player to play the game while expecting the suggested effect to be executed.

  Further, when the number of suggested effect games is 0G, the probability (addition rate) that the number of added games is notified is lower than when the number of suggested effect games is 1G or more, but the number of added games is notified. The number of additional games (the amount to be added) for notification is larger than the number of suggested effect games is 1G to 3G. Specifically, when the additional game is notified when the number of suggested effect games is 0G, 50G or more is determined as the additional game number for notification. Therefore, when the number of suggested effect games is 0G, that is, when the number of added games is notified without executing the suggested effects, the player can be expected to have a large number of reported additional games.

  When the number of suggested effect games is 3G or 4G, the number of additional games is notified with a probability of 100%. For this reason, when the execution period of the suggestion effect continues to be 3G or more, it is determined that the number of added games will be notified, so that the player can play the game while expecting the suggestion effect to be 3G or more. it can.

  Furthermore, when the number of suggested effect games is 4G, the number of added games to be notified (addition amount) is 100G. For this reason, when the execution period of the suggestion effect continues to be 4G, since it is determined that the number of additional games of 100G will be notified, it is possible to make the player play while expecting the suggestion effect to be 4G. it can.

  The sub-control unit 91 performs the effect type lottery that determines the type of the suggestion effect and the notification effect when the number of the information added game is determined by the information added game number lottery. FIG. 3A shows an effect type lottery table used for the effect type lottery. As shown in FIG. 3A, the sub-control unit 91 determines the type of the suggestion effect and the notification effect based on the probability determined in advance for each number of additional games in the effect type lottery.

  According to the effect type lottery, the greater the number of games added to the notification, the higher the probability that the set of the first suggestion effect and the first notification effect will be executed than the set of the second suggestion effect and the second notification effect. For this reason, the player's expectation can be enhanced when the set of the first suggestion effect and the first notification effect is executed than the set of the second suggestion effect and the second notification effect.

  In the first notification effect, the effect period changes such that the battle ends in any of 2G to 4G. When the sub-control unit 91 determines to execute the first notification effect by the notification effect lottery, the sub-control unit 91 performs the first notification effect game number lottery to determine the number of games of the first notification effect (also referred to as the first notification effect game number). Do.

  FIG. 3B shows a first notification effect game number lottery table used for the first notification effect game number lottery. As shown in FIG. 3B, the sub-control unit 91 determines the number of first notification effect games based on a predetermined probability for each number of notification addition games in the first notification effect game number lottery. .

  According to the first notification effect game number lottery, there is a higher probability that the number of first notification effect games will be lower when there is an additional number of notification games than when there is no additional game number of notifications. When the effect is finished, the player can be expected to be notified of the added number of games than when the first notification effect is finished at 3G or 4G. Furthermore, since the number of games added to the notification increases, the number of first notification effects games decreases. For example, when the first notification effects are ended in 2G, than when the first notification effects are ended in 3G or 4G. The player can be expected to have a large number of games added to the notification.

  Furthermore, even if the number of games added to the notification is 0G, the number of first notification effect games may be determined as 2G to 4G. For this reason, since the number of added games is not necessarily notified by the result of the first notification effect, the player can be focused on the result of the first notification effect, and the interest of the game can be improved. it can.

  When the number of first notification effect games is determined, the sub-control unit 91 performs a first suggestion effect line lottery that determines the contents of the lines in the first suggestion effect. The first suggestion effect line lottery is executed on the condition that the fact that the set of the first suggestion effect and the first notification effect is executed by the effect type lottery is determined.

  FIG. 3C shows a suggestion effect line drawing table used for the first suggestion effect line drawing. As shown in FIG. 3C, the sub-control unit 91 determines the character of the first suggestion effect based on a predetermined probability for each number of games of the first notification effect in the first suggestion effect line lottery. Determine the contents of the line.

  According to the first suggestion effect line drawing, when the number of games of the first notification effect is small, such as 2G, it is easy to be determined as a line “I expect an early conclusion”, and the number of games of the first notification effect is 4G, etc. When there are many, it is easy to be decided to the line of "It may be a long battle". Therefore, the execution period of the first notification effect can be predicted by the player based on the contents of the lines.

[Rare role winning game]
FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of an effect in the rare role winning game. As shown in FIG. 4A, in a normal AT effect, an AT-dedicated background image that is not displayed in a normal state (non-AT) is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In the present embodiment, a landscape image in which the moon and stars shine over the mountains is displayed as a background image dedicated to AT. Further, in the upper right area 51 a of the liquid crystal display 51, the number of remaining AT games (“AT remaining 21 G” in this example) is displayed. Thereby, it can be suggested to the player that the vehicle is in the AT state.

  If a rare cherry is won when the start operation of the game is performed by the start switch 7, an image of cherry suggesting that the cherry is won is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Thereby, it can be suggested to the player that the cherry is won. In addition, when the cherry is won, various lotteries regarding the addition of the AT game shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 are performed.

  As shown in FIG. 4B, when the third stop is performed in the game where the cherry is won, a PUSH image that prompts an operation on the PUSH button 56 is displayed at the center of the screen of the liquid crystal display 51. When the PUSH button 56 is operated by the player, the screen display of the liquid crystal display 51 is changed to the display modes shown in FIGS. 4 (c1) to (c3). Specifically, when the PUSH button 56 is operated, an image (hereinafter also referred to as an icon) for suggesting a benefit advantageous to the player such as the number of AT games is displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display 51. . In this way, the display of an image (icon) for making an suggestion regarding an advantageous privilege is also referred to as a suggestion display.

  For example, the information added game number lottery (FIG. 2 (b)) at the time of winning the cherry is determined to be 0G, and the suggested effect game number lottery (FIG. 2 (c)) is set to 0G. When determined, as shown in FIG. 4 (c1), when the push button 56 is operated, a cloud-shaped icon (hereinafter, also referred to as a cloud icon) appears. A character image is displayed.

  For example, the number of informed additional games is determined to be 50G or more by the information extra game number lottery (FIG. 2B) at the time of winning the cherry, and the suggested effect game number is 0G by the inductive effect game number lottery (FIG. 2C). When the push button 56 is operated, an image indicating the number of added games is displayed in the cloud icon as shown in FIG. 4 (c2). In this example, since the number of notification added games is 50G, a character image of “added + 50G” is displayed in the cloud icon. At this time, delay control (freeze) for delaying the progress of the game for a predetermined period may be performed. Specifically, when the third stop is made in the game where the cherry is won, the bet operation for setting the bet number of the next game and the start operation of the next game are invalid for a predetermined period. Thus, a character image of “added + 50G” may be displayed in the cloud icon during the predetermined period.

  In the present embodiment, when the number of suggested effect games is 0G, that is, when the number of added games is notified without executing the suggested effects, 50G or more is determined as the number of reported additional games. For this reason, when the image indicating the number of added games is displayed in the cloud icon when the PUSH button 56 is operated, the player is given an additional number of games of 50G or more, thereby improving the interest of the game. be able to.

  As shown in FIG. 4 (d), when the presence / absence of the additional game number is notified without executing the suggestion effect in FIG. 4 (c1) or FIG. 4 (c2), the normal AT effect is restored. In the example shown in FIG. 4 (d), the navigation for the push forward is performed by performing the start operation of the next game winning the cherry. Note that the number of remaining games of the AT is updated to “20G” by subtracting 1G.

  On the other hand, the number of informed additional games is determined to be 10G or more by the information extra game number lottery (FIG. 2 (b)) at the time of winning the cherry, and the suggested effect game number is 1G by the inductive effect game number lottery (FIG. 2 (c)). When determined as described above, as shown in FIG. 4C3, when the push button 56 is operated, a character image of “chance” is displayed in the cloud icon. In the subsequent games, the first suggestion effect or the second suggestion effect is performed. In this way, since the suggestion effect is executed by displaying the character image of “chance”, it may be suggested that the suggestion effect is executed to the player by displaying the character image of “chance”. it can.

[First suggestion]
FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of the first suggestion effect. In this embodiment, BGM (Back Ground Music) corresponding to each of the 1G to 4G of the first suggestion effect executed over a maximum of 4G is provided, and the BGM flowing in each game is different from each other. . For example, in the first suggestion effect 1G, the song A1 is output from the speaker 53 as BGM. In the 1G suggestion effect shown in FIG. 5, navigation during AT is being performed.

  As shown in FIG. 5 (a), when the start operation of the next game is performed by the start switch 7 after the rare winning game is completed, a treasure box effect is executed as a first suggestion effect. In the present embodiment, four treasure boxes indicating A to D are displayed at the center of the screen of the liquid crystal display 51. These four treasure chests are treasure chests corresponding to the first to fourth 4G of the first suggestion effect executed over a maximum of 4G, and the patterns are different from each other. Specifically, the A treasure chest is selected in the 1G first suggestion effect, the B treasure chest is selected in the 2G, the C treasure chest is selected in the 3G, and the D treasure chest in the 4G. Is selected.

  In the upper right area 51 a of the liquid crystal display 51, “20G”, which is the number of AT remaining games, is displayed. Further, in the upper left area 51 b of the liquid crystal display 51, “Suggesting × 1” indicating the number of suggested effects games is displayed. Thereby, it can be suggested to the player that the 1G suggestion effect is being executed.

  As shown in FIG. 5B, when the first stop is performed, the A treasure box corresponding to the 1G first suggestion effect among the treasure boxes A to D is selected, and the character appears. As shown in FIG. 5C, when the second stop is performed, the treasure box of A is slightly opened and a sound effect “flickering” is output from the speaker 53. Thereafter, when the third stop is performed, the screen display of the liquid crystal display 51 is changed to the display modes illustrated in FIGS. 5D1 to 5D3 and the suggestion display is performed.

  For example, the suggestion effect game number lottery (FIG. 2 (c)) determines the number of suggestion effect games to 1G, and the first suggestion effect dialogue lottery (FIG. 3 (c)) indicates that the character's speech is “expected to be settled early. When the third stop is performed, as shown in FIG. 5 (d1), a cloud icon indicating “development” appears in the treasure box, and the character is displayed as “early settlement”. An image indicating that the message “I am expecting you” is issued is displayed. Further, an icon display sound “Pacak” is output from the speaker 53, and a sound “I expect an early conclusion” (shown as a line A in the figure) is output. Thereafter, the production develops from the next game to the first notification production. Accordingly, it is possible to suggest to the player that the effect develops from the first suggestion effect to the first notification effect, and to indicate to the player that the first notification effect ends relatively early.

  For example, the suggestion effect game number lottery (FIG. 2 (c)) determines the number of suggestion effect games to 1G, and the first suggestion effect dialog lottery (FIG. 3 (c)) causes the character's speech to be “long battle. When the third stop is performed, as shown in FIG. 5 (d2), a cloud icon indicating “development” appears in the treasure box, and the character is “long battle”. An image indicating that the message “Nakamo may be emitted” is displayed. Further, an icon display sound “Paka” is output from the speaker 53, and a sound “May be a long battle” (shown as lines B in the drawing) is output. Thereafter, the production develops from the next game to the first notification production. Accordingly, it is possible to suggest to the player that the effect develops from the first suggestion effect to the first notification effect and to indicate to the player that the first notification effect ends relatively late.

  For example, if the suggested effect game number is determined to be 2G or more by the suggested effect game number lottery (FIG. 2 (c)), as shown in FIG. 5 (d3), when the third stop is performed, , A cloud icon showing the word “chance” appears, and an image indicating that the character emits the word “chance” is displayed. Further, an icon display sound “Paka” is output from the speaker 53 and a sound “chance” (shown as a line C in the drawing) is output. Thereafter, the first suggestion effect continues in the next game. Thereby, it can be suggested to the player that the first suggestion effect is continued. In the first suggestion effect and the second suggestion effect described later, not only “chance” but also a “continuation” character image may be displayed, and “continuation” sound may be output from the speaker 53.

  In this way, when the production develops from the first suggestion production to the first notification production, in the example of FIG. 5 (d1) and the example of (d2), the characters “development”, cloud icon, treasure box, character , And “Paka” icon display voices are the same, while the character lines are different. And the end timing of the 1st alerting | reporting effect performed after that is suggested to a player by the line of the character. Thereby, the end timing of the first notification effect can be suggested to the player in an easy-to-understand manner, and the interest of the subsequent development can be expected to improve the interest of the game.

  In addition, when the effect develops from the first suggestion effect to the first notification effect (examples of FIGS. 5 (d1) and (d2)) and when the first suggestion effect continues (example of FIG. 5 (d3)). And the cloud icons, treasure chests, characters, and “pakat” icon display voices are the same, but the characters and character lines shown in the cloud icons are different. Specifically, when the production develops, the word “development” is shown in the cloud icon, while when the first suggestion production continues, the same mode (color, shape, The word “chance” is shown on the cloud icon (same size). The player suggests whether the effect develops from the first suggestion effect to the first notification effect, or the first suggestion effect continues, by the character or character lines indicated by the cloud icon. Thereby, the subsequent development can be suggested to the player in an easy-to-understand manner, and the interest of the subsequent development can be expected to improve the interest of the game.

  After the first suggestion effect 1G is completed, the first suggestion effect 2G shown in FIG. 6 is executed. In the 2nd G of the first suggestion effect, the music A2 is output from the speaker 53 as the BGM corresponding to the 2G. The music A2 is a music with a faster tempo than the music A1. In the present embodiment, the greater the number of suggested effect games, the higher the probability that the number of additional games will be notified (the rate of addition), so the tempo of the music is faster in the 2G than in the 1G, A player can be expected to be notified of the number of additional games.

  As shown in FIG. 6A, after the first suggestion effect 1G ends, when the start operation of the next game is performed by the start switch 7, a treasure box effect is executed as the first suggestion effect, and the liquid crystal display Four treasure chests A to D are displayed in the center of the screen of the container 51.

  In the upper right area 51 a of the liquid crystal display 51, “19G”, which is the number of AT remaining games, is displayed. Further, in the upper left area 51 b of the liquid crystal display 51, “Suggesting × 2” indicating the number of suggested games is displayed. Thereby, it can be suggested to the player that the 2G suggestion effect is being executed.

  As shown in FIG. 6B, when the first stop is performed, a treasure box of B corresponding to the second suggestion 2G among the treasure boxes of A to D is selected and a character appears. As shown in FIG. 6C, when the second stop is performed, the treasure box of B is slightly opened and a sound effect “flicker” is output from the speaker 53. Thereafter, when the third stop is performed, the screen display of the liquid crystal display 51 is changed to the display modes illustrated in FIGS. 6D1 to 6D3, and the suggestion display is performed.

  For example, the suggestion effect game number lottery (FIG. 2 (c)) determines the number of suggestion effect games to 2G, and the first suggestion effect dialog lottery (FIG. 3 (c)) indicates that the character's speech is “expected early settlement. When the third stop is performed, as shown in FIG. 6 (d1), a cloud icon indicating “development” appears in the treasure box, and the character is displayed as “early settlement”. An image indicating that the message “I am expecting you” is issued is displayed. Further, an icon display sound “Pacak” is output from the speaker 53, and a sound “I expect an early conclusion” (shown as a line A in the figure) is output. Thereafter, the production develops from the next game to the first notification production. Accordingly, it is possible to suggest to the player that the effect develops from the first suggestion effect to the first notification effect, and to indicate to the player that the first notification effect ends relatively early.

  For example, the suggestion effect game number lottery (FIG. 2 (c)) determines the number of suggestion effect games to 2G, and the first suggestion effect dialog lottery (FIG. 3 (c)) causes the character's speech to be “long battle. When the third stop is performed, as shown in FIG. 6 (d2), a cloud icon indicating “development” appears from the treasure box, and the character is displayed as “long battle”. An image indicating that the message “Nakamo may be emitted” is displayed. Further, an icon display sound “Paka” is output from the speaker 53, and a sound “May be a long battle” (shown as lines B in the drawing) is output. Thereafter, the production develops from the next game to the first notification production. Accordingly, it is possible to suggest to the player that the effect develops from the first suggestion effect to the first notification effect and to indicate to the player that the first notification effect ends relatively late.

  For example, if the suggested effect game number is determined to be 3G or more by the suggested effect game number lottery (FIG. 2 (c)), as shown in FIG. 6 (d3), when the third stop is performed, , A cloud icon showing the word “chance” appears, and an image indicating that the character emits the word “chance” is displayed. Further, an icon display sound “Paka” is output from the speaker 53 and a sound “chance” (shown as a line C in the drawing) is output. Thereafter, the first suggestion effect continues in the next game. Thereby, it can be suggested to the player that the first suggestion effect is continued.

  In this way, when the production develops from the first suggestion production to the first notification production, in the example of FIG. 6 (d1) and the example of (d2), the characters “development”, cloud icon, treasure box, character , And “Paka” icon display voices are the same, but the lines that the character utters are different. And the end timing of the 1st alerting | reporting effect performed after that is suggested to a player by the line of the character. Thereby, the end timing of the first notification effect can be suggested to the player in an easy-to-understand manner, and the interest of the subsequent development can be expected to improve the interest of the game.

  In addition, when the effect develops from the first suggestion effect to the first notification effect (example in FIGS. 6 (d1) and (d2)) and when the first suggestion effect continues (example in FIG. 6 (d3)). And the cloud icons, treasure chests, characters, and “pakat” icon display voices are the same, but the characters and characters shown in the cloud icons are different from each other. Specifically, when the production develops, the word “development” is shown in the cloud icon, while when the first suggestion production continues, the same mode (color, shape, The word “chance” is shown on the cloud icon (same size). The player suggests whether the effect develops from the first suggestion effect to the first notification effect, or the first suggestion effect continues, by the character or character lines indicated by the cloud icon. Thereby, the subsequent development can be suggested to the player in an easy-to-understand manner, and the interest of the subsequent development can be expected to improve the interest of the game.

  Furthermore, the 2G effect of the first suggestion effect (example in FIG. 6) is common to the 1G effect of the first suggestion effect (example of FIG. 5). Specifically, the effect shown in FIG. 6 (d1) and the effect shown in FIG. 5 (d1) have different treasure chest patterns, but the cloud icon, the character, the mode of the icon display voice of “Paka”, and the character The lines are the same. The effect shown in FIG. 6 (d2) and the effect shown in FIG. 5 (d2) have different treasure chest patterns. The same. The effect shown in FIG. 6 (d3) and the effect shown in FIG. 5 (d3) have different treasure chest patterns, but the cloud icon, the character, and the icon display voice mode of “Paka”, and the character dialogue Are the same. Thereby, the subsequent development can be suggested to the player in an easy-to-understand manner, and the interest of the subsequent development can be expected to improve the interest of the game.

  After the second suggestion effect 2G is completed, the first suggestion effect 3G shown in FIG. 7 is executed. In the 3G of the first suggestion effect, the music A3 is output from the speaker 53 as the BGM corresponding to the 3G. The music A3 is a music with a faster tempo than the music A1 and the music A2. In the present embodiment, the greater the number of suggested effect games, the higher the probability (addition rate) that the number of additional games will be notified, and when the number of suggested effect games is 3G, the probability is increased with a probability of 100%. Since the number of games is notified, the tempo of the music is faster in the 3G than in the 1G and 2G, so that the player can be expected to be notified of the added number of games. In addition, in the 3G of the 1st suggestion effect shown in FIG. 7, the navigation in AT is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 7A, after the second suggestion effect 2G ends, when the start operation of the next game is performed by the start switch 7, a treasure box effect is executed as the first suggestion effect, and the liquid crystal display Four treasure chests A to D are displayed in the center of the screen of the container 51.

  In the upper right area 51 a of the liquid crystal display 51, “18G”, which is the remaining number of AT games, is displayed. Further, in the upper left area 51 b of the liquid crystal display 51, “Suggesting × 3” indicating the number of suggested games is displayed. Thus, it is possible to suggest to the player that the 3G suggestion effect is being executed.

  As shown in FIG. 7B, when the first stop is performed, a treasure box of C corresponding to the 3G of the first suggestion effect is selected from the treasure boxes of A to D, and a character appears. As shown in FIG. 7C, when the second stop is performed, the treasure chest of C is slightly opened and a sound effect “flicker” is output from the speaker 53. Thereafter, when the third stop is performed, the screen display of the liquid crystal display 51 is changed to the display mode illustrated in FIGS. 7D1 and 7D2 and the suggestion display is performed.

  For example, if the suggestion effect game number lottery (FIG. 2 (c)) is determined to be 3G, as shown in FIG. 7 (d1), when the third stop is performed, A cloud icon with the word “Development” appears. Further, an icon display sound “Paka” is output from the speaker 53. When the number of suggested effect games is executed up to 3G, since it is determined that the number of additional games is notified, an image indicating a character line that suggests the end timing of the first notification effect is not displayed. Thereafter, the production develops from the next game to the first notification production. Thereby, it can be suggested to the player that the effect develops from the first suggestion effect to the first notification effect. Even when the number of suggested effect games is 3G, an image showing the character's speech that suggests the end timing of the first notification effect is displayed, or the character's speech that suggests the end timing of the first notification effect is displayed. May be output.

  For example, when the suggestion effect game number is determined to be 4G by the suggestion effect game number lottery (FIG. 2C), as shown in FIG. A cloud icon showing “chance” characters appears, and an image indicating that the character emits a “chance” line is displayed. Further, an icon display sound “Paka” is output from the speaker 53 and a sound “chance” (shown as a line C in the drawing) is output. Thereafter, the first suggestion effect continues in the next game. Thereby, it can be suggested to the player that the first suggestion effect is continued.

  Thus, when the production develops from the first suggestion production to the first notification production (example in FIG. 7 (d1)) and when the first suggestion production continues (example in FIG. 7 (d2)). , Cloud icons, treasure chests, characters, and “pakat” icon display voices are the same, while the characters and character lines shown in the cloud icons are different. Specifically, when the production develops, the word “development” is shown in the cloud icon, while when the first suggestion production continues, the same mode (color, shape, The word “chance” is shown on the cloud icon (same size). The player suggests whether the effect develops from the first suggestion effect to the first notification effect, or the first suggestion effect continues, by the character or character lines indicated by the cloud icon. Thereby, the subsequent development can be suggested to the player in an easy-to-understand manner, and the interest of the subsequent development can be expected to improve the interest of the game.

  Further, the 3G effect of the first suggestion effect (example in FIG. 7) is common to the 1G effect of the first suggestion effect (example of FIG. 5) and the 2G effect (example of FIG. 6). Specifically, in the effects shown in FIG. 7 (d1) and the effects shown in FIGS. 5 (d1) and (d2) and FIGS. 6 (d1) and (d2), there is a treasure box pattern and character presence / absence of speech. Although different, the cloud icon, the character, and the icon display voice of “Paka” are the same. The effects shown in FIG. 7 (d2) and the effects shown in FIGS. 5 (d3) and 6 (d3) have different treasure chest patterns, but the cloud icon, character, and “pakat” icon display voice mode. , And the character lines are the same. Thereby, the subsequent development can be suggested to the player in an easy-to-understand manner, and the interest of the subsequent development can be expected to improve the interest of the game.

  After the 3G eye of the first suggestion effect is finished, the 4G eye of the first suggestion effect shown in FIG. 8 is executed. In the 4G of the first suggestion effect, the music A4 is output from the speaker 53 as the BGM corresponding to the 4G. The music A4 is a music with a faster tempo than the music A1, the music A2, and the music A3. In the present embodiment, the greater the number of suggested effect games, the higher the probability (addition rate) that the number of additional games will be notified, and when the number of suggested effect games is 4G, the probability is increased with a probability of 100%. Since 100G is notified as the number of games, the tempo of the music becomes faster in the 4G than in the 1G to 3G, so that the player can be expected to be notified of the added number of games.

  As shown in FIG. 8A, after the 3G of the first suggestion effect is finished, when the start operation of the next game is performed by the start switch 7, a treasure box effect is executed as the first suggestion effect, and the liquid crystal display Four treasure chests A to D are displayed in the center of the screen of the container 51.

  In the upper right area 51a of the liquid crystal display 51, “17G”, which is the remaining number of AT games, is displayed. Further, in the upper left area 51 b of the liquid crystal display 51, “Suggesting × 4” indicating the number of suggested effects games is displayed. Thereby, it can be suggested to the player that the 4G suggestion effect is being executed.

  As shown in FIG. 8B, when the first stop is performed, among the treasure chests A to D, the treasure chest D corresponding to the 4th G of the first suggestion effect is selected, and the character appears. As shown in FIG. 8C, when the second stop is performed, the treasure box D is slightly opened, and a sound effect “flicker” is output from the speaker 53. Thereafter, when the third stop is performed, as shown in FIG. 8D, a cloud icon indicating characters “PUSH” prompting an operation on the PUSH button 56 from the treasure box is displayed. Further, the sound effect “Paka” is output from the speaker 53.

  When the PUSH button 56 is operated by the player, a notice effect for notifying the effect content in the first notification effect is executed as an effect that it is determined that 100G is added as the number of added games. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8E, a character image of “next notice” is displayed, and thereafter, as shown in FIGS. An image showing how and will develop a battle is displayed. Thereafter, the production develops from the next game to the first notification production. Accordingly, it is possible to suggest to the player that the effect develops from the first suggestion effect to the first notification effect, and to indicate to the player in advance that 100G is given as the number of additional games.

[First notification effect]
9 and 10 are diagrams illustrating an example of the first notification effect. In the present embodiment, as the first notification effect, a battle effect is performed in which the teammate character and the enemy character develop a battle over 2G to 4G. In the first notification effect, the song C is output from the speaker 53 as BGM corresponding to the first notification effect. In addition, in FIG. 9, an example of the effect in the case where the first notification effect ends in 3 games or 4 games is shown.

  As shown in FIG. 9A, when the start operation of the next game is performed by the start switch 7 after the first suggestion effect is finished, an image indicating “battle start” is displayed. Thereafter, as time passes, as shown in FIG. 9B, an image is displayed in which a warrior character that is a teammate character and a devil character that is an enemy character are confronting each other. Thereafter, when time elapses, as shown in FIG. 9C, an image of a battle between the teammate character and the enemy character is displayed.

  In the first notification effect, the game until the result is obtained by the battle effect according to the determination results of the notification addition game number lottery (FIG. 2 (b)) and the first notification effect game number lottery (FIG. 3 (b)). The number and contents of the production are different.

  For example, the information added game number is determined to be 10G or more by the information added game number lottery (FIG. 2B), and the first notification effect game number is determined to be 3G by the first information effect game number lottery (FIG. 3B). When the third stop is performed at the 3G of the first notification effect as shown in FIG. 9 (d1), the ally character becomes a piece together with the character image “WIN” indicating that the ally character has won. The displayed image is displayed. When an image showing that the teammate character has won is displayed, a WIN sound representing the victory is output from the speaker 53.

  For example, the number of information added games is determined to be 0G by the information added game number lottery (FIG. 2B), and the first information effect is determined to be 3G by the first information effect game number lottery (FIG. 3B). In this case, as shown in FIG. 9 (d2), when the third stop is performed at the 3G of the first notification effect, an image showing that the ally character has been defeated is displayed and the background also becomes dark. When an image showing that the teammate character has been defeated is displayed, a LOSE sound indicating the defeat is output from the speaker 53.

  The information added game number is determined to be 10G or more by the information added game number lottery (FIG. 2B), and the first information effect is determined to be 4G by the first information effect game number lottery (FIG. 3B). In this case, as shown in FIG. 9 (e1), when the third stop is performed at the 3G of the first notification effect, the cut-in effect is executed. The cut-in effect is an effect that suddenly displays different effect images over the currently executed effect. In this example, a cut-in image made up of the characters “chance!” And an ally character is displayed so as to cover the currently executed effect. Furthermore, when a cut-in effect is executed, a chance sound is output from the speaker 53.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 9 (e2), when the cut-in effect is not executed, if the third stop is performed at the 3G of the first notification effect, a character image of “still more!” Is displayed instead of the cut-in effect. It is displayed and suggests that the production continues until the next game.

  After that, although illustration is omitted, after the third stop of the third game is performed, when the start operation of the fourth game is performed, an image showing that the teammate character and the enemy character fight again is displayed.

  The information added game number is determined to be 10G or more by the information added game number lottery (FIG. 2B), and the first information effect is determined to be 4G by the first information effect game number lottery (FIG. 3B). In this case, as shown in FIG. 9 (f1), when the third stop is performed at the 4G of the first notification effect, the ally character is pieced together with the character image “WIN” indicating that the ally character has won. The displayed image is displayed. At this time, a WIN sound indicating that the teammate character has won is output from the speaker 53.

  When the number of information added games is determined to be 0G by the information added game number lottery (FIG. 2B), and the first information effect is determined to be 4G by the first information effect game number lottery (FIG. 3B). As shown in FIG. 9 (f2), when the third stop is performed at the 4th G of the first notification effect, an image showing that the teammate character has been defeated is displayed and the background also becomes dark. At this time, a LOSE sound indicating that the teammate character has been defeated is output from the speaker 53.

  Next, the effect after the result of the first notification effect will be described. When a character image of “WIN” indicating that the teammate character has won is displayed as shown in FIG. 10A1, the operation on the PUSH button 56 is performed when time passes as shown in FIG. 10B1. A urging PUSH image is displayed at the center of the screen of the liquid crystal display 51.

  As shown in FIG. 10 (c1), when the PUSH button 56 is operated by the player, an image indicating the number of added games is displayed in the cloud icon. In this example, since the number of notification added games is 50G, a character image of “added + 50G” is displayed in the cloud icon.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 10 (d1), the original normal AT effect is executed by performing the start operation. Since the addition of 50G is notified, 50G is added to the number of remaining AT games displayed in the upper right area 51a of the liquid crystal display 51, and “62G” is displayed.

  On the other hand, when an image indicating that the teammate character has been defeated is displayed as shown in FIG. 10 (a2), the start operation is performed as shown in FIG. 10 (b2) without notifying the addition of the number of AT games. Is performed, the original normal AT effect is executed. In addition, since the additional number of AT games has not been notified, the additional game number is not added to the remaining AT game number displayed in the upper right area 51a of the liquid crystal display 51, and “12G” is displayed. .

[Second suggestion]
FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example of the second suggestion effect. In the present embodiment, BGM (Back Ground Music) corresponding to each of the 1G to 4G of the second suggestion effect executed over the maximum 4G is provided, and the BGM flowing in each game is different from each other. . For example, in the first suggestion effect 1G, the music piece B1 is output from the speaker 53 as BGM. In addition, in 1G of the 2nd suggestion effect shown in FIG. 11, the navigation in AT is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 11A, after the rare winning game is finished, when the start operation of the next game is performed by the start switch 7, the curtain effect is executed as the second suggestion effect. In the present embodiment, a curtain closed at the center of the screen of the liquid crystal display 51 is displayed. The curtain is a curtain corresponding to each of the 1G to 4G of the second suggestion effect executed over a maximum of 4G, and the patterns are different from each other. Specifically, a stripe pattern curtain is displayed in the 1G of the second suggestion effect, a white dot pattern curtain is displayed in the 2G, and a black dot pattern curtain is displayed in the 3G. In the 4G eye, a star curtain is displayed.

  In the upper right area 51 a of the liquid crystal display 51, “20G”, which is the number of AT remaining games, is displayed. Further, in the upper left area 51 b of the liquid crystal display 51, “Suggesting × 1” indicating the number of suggested effects games is displayed. Thereby, it can be suggested to the player that the 1G suggestion effect is being executed.

  As shown in FIG. 11 (b), when the first stop is performed, an image showing a state in which the stripe curtain is slightly opened is displayed. As shown in FIG. 11C, when the second stop is performed, the curtain is further opened, and a sound effect “flicker” is output from the speaker 53. After that, when the third stop is performed, the screen display of the liquid crystal display 51 is changed to the display mode shown in FIGS. 11D1 and 11D2 and the suggestion display is performed.

  For example, if the suggested effect game number is determined to be 1G by the suggested effect game number lottery (FIG. 2 (c)), as shown in FIG. 11 (d1), the curtain is fully opened when the third stop is performed. A cloud icon with the word “Development” appears. Further, an icon display sound “Paka” is output from the speaker 53. Thereafter, the production develops from the next game to the second notification production. Thereby, it can be suggested to the player that the effect develops from the second suggestion effect to the second notification effect.

  For example, when the suggested effect game number lottery (FIG. 2C) is determined to be 2G or more, as shown in FIG. 11D2, all the curtains are displayed when the third stop is performed. A cloud icon appears with the word “chance” open. Further, an icon display sound “Paka” is output from the speaker 53. Thereafter, the second suggestion effect continues in the next game. Thereby, it can be suggested to the player that the second suggestion effect is continued.

  Thus, when the production develops from the second suggestion production to the second notification production (example in FIG. 11 (d1)) and when the second suggestion production continues (example in FIG. 11 (d2)). The icons of the cloud icons, curtains, and “pakat” icon display voices are the same, while the characters shown in the cloud icons are different. Specifically, when the production develops, the word “development” is shown in the cloud icon, while when the first suggestion production continues, the same mode (color, shape, The word “chance” is shown on the cloud icon (same size). Then, the character indicated by the cloud icon indicates to the player whether the effect develops from the second suggestion effect to the second notification effect, or whether the second suggestion effect continues. Thereby, the subsequent development can be suggested to the player in an easy-to-understand manner, and the interest of the subsequent development can be expected to improve the interest of the game.

  After the first suggestion effect 1G ends, the first suggestion effect 2G shown in FIG. 12 is executed. In the second suggestion 2G, the music B2 is output from the speaker 53 as the BGM corresponding to the 2G. The music B2 is a music having a faster tempo than the music B1. In the present embodiment, the greater the number of suggested effect games, the higher the probability that the number of additional games will be notified (the rate of addition), so the tempo of the music is faster in the 2G than in the 1G, A player can be expected to be notified of the number of additional games.

  As shown in FIG. 12A, after the first suggestion effect 1G ends, when the start operation of the next game is performed by the start switch 7, the curtain effect is executed as the second suggestion effect. In the 2G curtain effect, a white dot pattern curtain is displayed.

  In the upper right area 51 a of the liquid crystal display 51, “19G”, which is the number of AT remaining games, is displayed. Further, in the upper left area 51 b of the liquid crystal display 51, “Suggesting × 2” indicating the number of suggested games is displayed. Thereby, it can be suggested to the player that the 2G suggestion effect is being executed.

  As shown in FIG. 12 (b), when the first stop is performed, an image indicating that the curtain is slightly opened is displayed. As shown in FIG. 12C, when the second stop is performed, the curtain is further opened, and a sound effect “flicker” is output from the speaker 53. Thereafter, when the third stop is performed, the screen display of the liquid crystal display 51 is changed to the display mode shown in FIGS. 12D1 and 12D2, and the suggestion display is performed.

  For example, if the suggested effect game number is determined to be 2G by the suggested effect game number lottery (FIG. 2 (c)), as shown in FIG. 12 (d1), the curtains are all opened when the third stop is performed. A cloud icon with the word “Development” appears. Further, an icon display sound “Paka” is output from the speaker 53. Thereafter, the production develops from the next game to the second notification production. Thereby, it can be suggested to the player that the effect develops from the second suggestion effect to the second notification effect.

  For example, when the suggested effect game number lottery (FIG. 2C) is determined to be 3G or more, as shown in FIG. 12D2, all curtains are displayed when the third stop is performed. A cloud icon appears with the word “chance” open. Further, an icon display sound “Paka” is output from the speaker 53. Thereafter, the second suggestion effect continues in the next game. Thereby, it can be suggested to the player that the second suggestion effect is continued.

  Thus, when the production develops from the second suggestion production to the second notification production (example in FIG. 12 (d1)) and when the second suggestion production continues (example in FIG. 12 (d2)). The icons of the cloud icons, curtains, and “pakat” icon display voices are the same, while the characters shown in the cloud icons are different. Specifically, when the production develops, the word “development” is shown in the cloud icon, while when the first suggestion production continues, the same mode (color, shape, The word “chance” is shown on the cloud icon (same size). Then, the character indicated by the cloud icon indicates to the player whether the effect develops from the second suggestion effect to the second notification effect, or whether the second suggestion effect continues. Thereby, the subsequent development can be suggested to the player in an easy-to-understand manner, and the interest of the subsequent development can be expected to improve the interest of the game.

  Further, the 2G effect of the first suggestion effect (example in FIG. 12) is common to the 1G effect of the first suggestion effect (example of FIG. 11). Specifically, the effect shown in FIG. 12 (d1) and the effect shown in FIG. 11 (d1) have different curtain patterns, but the cloud icons and the character forms in the cloud icons are the same. Also, the effect shown in FIG. 12 (d2) and the effect shown in FIG. 11 (d2) have different curtain patterns, but the cloud icon, the icon display voice mode of “Paka”, and the characters in the cloud icon The aspects of are the same. Thereby, the subsequent development can be suggested to the player in an easy-to-understand manner, and the interest of the subsequent development can be expected to improve the interest of the game.

  After the second suggestion effect 2G is completed, the first suggestion effect 3G shown in FIG. 13 is executed. In the 3G of the second suggestion effect, the music B3 is output from the speaker 53 as the BGM corresponding to the 3G. The music B3 is a music with a faster tempo than the music B1 and the music B2. In the present embodiment, the greater the number of suggested effect games, the higher the probability (addition rate) that the number of additional games will be notified, and when the number of suggested effect games is 3G, the probability is increased with a probability of 100%. Since the number of games is notified, the tempo of the music is faster in the 3G than in the 1G and 2G, so that the player can be expected to be notified of the added number of games. In addition, in the 3G of the 1st suggestion effect shown in FIG. 13, the navigation in AT is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 13A, after the second suggestion effect 2G ends, when the start operation of the next game is performed by the start switch 7, the curtain effect is executed as the second suggestion effect. In the 3G curtain effect, a black dot pattern curtain is displayed.

  In the upper right area 51 a of the liquid crystal display 51, “18G”, which is the remaining number of AT games, is displayed. Further, in the upper left area 51 b of the liquid crystal display 51, “Suggesting × 3” indicating the number of suggested games is displayed. Thus, it is possible to suggest to the player that the 3G suggestion effect is being executed.

  As shown in FIG. 13B, when the first stop is performed, an image indicating that the curtain is slightly opened is displayed. As shown in FIG. 13C, when the second stop is performed, the curtain is further opened, and a sound effect “flicker” is output from the speaker 53. After that, when the third stop is performed, the screen display of the liquid crystal display 51 is changed to the display mode shown in FIGS. 13 (d1) and (d2), and the suggestion display is performed.

  For example, if the suggested effect game number lottery (FIG. 2C) is determined to be 3G, as shown in FIG. 13D1, all the curtains are opened when the third stop is performed. A cloud icon with the word “Development” appears. Further, an icon display sound “Paka” is output from the speaker 53. Thereafter, the production develops from the next game to the second notification production. Thereby, it can be suggested to the player that the effect develops from the second suggestion effect to the second notification effect.

  For example, if the suggested effect game number is determined to be 4G by the suggested effect game number lottery (FIG. 2 (c)), as shown in FIG. 13 (d2), the curtain is fully opened when the third stop is performed. A cloud icon with the word “chance” appears. Further, an icon display sound “Paka” is output from the speaker 53. Thereafter, the second suggestion effect continues in the next game. Thereby, it can be suggested to the player that the second suggestion effect is continued.

  Thus, when the production develops from the second suggestion production to the second notification production (example in FIG. 13 (d1)) and when the second suggestion production continues (example in FIG. 13 (d2)). The icons of the cloud icons, curtains, and “pakat” icon display voices are the same, while the characters shown in the cloud icons are different. Specifically, when the production develops, the word “development” is shown in the cloud icon, while when the first suggestion production continues, the same mode (color, shape, The word “chance” is shown on the cloud icon (same size). Then, the character indicated by the cloud icon indicates to the player whether the effect develops from the second suggestion effect to the second notification effect, or whether the second suggestion effect continues. Thereby, the subsequent development can be suggested to the player in an easy-to-understand manner, and the interest of the subsequent development can be expected to improve the interest of the game.

  Furthermore, the 3G effect (example in FIG. 12) of the first suggestion effect is common to the 1G effect (example in FIG. 10) and the 2G effect (example in FIG. 12) of the first suggestion effect. Specifically, the effect shown in FIG. 13 (d1) and the effect shown in FIGS. 11 (d1) and 12 (d1) have different curtain patterns, but the cloud icon and the icon display voice of “Paka” are displayed. The mode and the mode of the characters in the cloud icon are the same. Further, the effect shown in FIG. 13 (d2) and the effect shown in FIG. 11 (d2) and FIG. 12 (d2) have different curtain patterns, but the cloud icon, “pakat” icon display voice mode, and The form of the characters in the cloud icon is the same. Thereby, the subsequent development can be suggested to the player in an easy-to-understand manner, and the interest of the subsequent development can be expected to improve the interest of the game.

  After the 3G eye of the second suggestion effect is finished, the 4G eye of the first suggestion effect shown in FIG. 14 is executed. In the 4G eye of the second suggestion effect, the music B4 is output from the speaker 53 as the BGM corresponding to the 4G eye. The music B4 is a music having a faster tempo than the music B1, the music B2, and the music B3. In the present embodiment, the greater the number of suggested effect games, the higher the probability (addition rate) that the number of additional games will be notified, and when the number of suggested effect games is 4G, the probability is increased with a probability of 100%. Since 100G is notified as the number of games, the tempo of the music becomes faster in the 4G than in the 1G to 3G, so that the player can be expected to be notified of the added number of games.

  As shown in FIG. 14 (a), when the start operation of the next game is performed by the start switch 7 after the 3G of the second suggestion effect ends, the curtain effect is executed as the second suggestion effect. In the 4G curtain effect, a star-patterned curtain is displayed.

  In the upper right area 51a of the liquid crystal display 51, “17G”, which is the remaining number of AT games, is displayed. Further, in the upper left area 51 b of the liquid crystal display 51, “Suggesting × 4” indicating the number of suggested effects games is displayed. Thereby, it can be suggested to the player that the 4G suggestion effect is being executed.

  As shown in FIG. 14B, when the first stop is performed, an image showing the curtain slightly opening is displayed. As shown in FIG. 14C, when the second stop is performed, the curtain is further opened, and a sound effect “flicker” is output from the speaker 53. Thereafter, when the third stop is performed, as shown in FIG. 14D, a cloud icon is displayed in which the curtain is fully opened and characters “PUSH” prompting an operation on the PUSH button 56 are displayed. Further, an icon display sound “Paka” is output from the speaker 53.

  When the PUSH button 56 is operated by the player, a notice effect for notifying the effect content in the second notification effect is executed as an effect that it is determined that 100G is added as the number of added games. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 14E, a character image of “next notice” is displayed, and thereafter, as shown in FIGS. 14F and 14G, the character moves to the castle with the passage of time. An image showing how it arrives is displayed. Thereafter, the production develops from the next game to the second notification production. Accordingly, it is possible to suggest to the player that the effect develops from the second suggestion effect to the second notification effect, and to indicate to the player in advance that 100G is added as the number of additional games.

  In the second suggestion effect shown in FIG. 11 to FIG. 14, a cloud icon appears indicating characters such as development, chance, PUSH, and the like that the effect develops to the second notification effect and the second suggestion effect continues. The icon display sound ("Paka") is developed in the first suggestion effect shown in FIGS. 5 to 8, such as development, chance, PUSH, etc., and the effect that the effect develops in the first notification effect and the first suggestion effect continues. This is the same as the icon display sound ("Paka") in which a cloud icon is displayed. In this way, although the types of suggestion effects are different, in both effects, a cloud icon of a common mode is displayed and the direction of the effect is suggested when a common icon display sound is output. It is easy for the player to understand the timing when the whereabouts are suggested.

  In addition, as in the first suggestion effect shown in FIGS. 5 to 8, in the effect that other images such as characters and treasure chests are displayed in addition to the icon image for suggesting the addition of the number of AT games. , Compared to the effect of opening the curtain and showing the player only the icon image for suggesting the addition of the number of AT games, as in the second suggestion effect shown in FIGS. The icon image for suggesting the addition is small. Specifically, the ratio of the specific area in which the icon image is displayed to the display area of the liquid crystal display 51 is less than ½ in the first suggestion effect, whereas the second suggestion effect. Is 1/2 or more. The ratio of the display area of the liquid crystal display 51 to the specific area is an example, and a predetermined value may be used as a reference.

  As described above, since the size of the icon image displayed in the first suggestion effect can be different from the size of the icon image displayed in the second suggestion effect, the suggestion regarding the increase in the number of AT games in various effects. An image for playing can be used, and as a result, the interest of the game is improved.

  It should be noted that, in the first suggestion effect, in addition to the icon image for suggesting the addition of the number of AT games, the suggestion regarding the addition of the number of AT games is made depending on the type of the displayed character, and displayed in the first suggestion effect. The size of the icon image to be displayed may be made smaller than the icon image displayed in the second suggestion effect. In this way, in the first suggestion effect that suggests an increase in the number of AT games using a plurality of types of images, it is possible to make the player pay attention to images other than the image that is common to the second suggestion effect. it can.

  The position where the icon image is displayed in the first suggestion shown in FIGS. 5 to 8 is higher than the center of the liquid crystal display 51, whereas the position where the icon image is displayed in the second suggestion is liquid crystal. This is the center of the display 51. Thus, since the position where the icon image is displayed in the first suggestion effect can be different from the position where the icon image is displayed in the second suggestion effect, the suggestion regarding the increase in the number of AT games in various effects. An image for playing can be used, and as a result, the interest of the game is improved.

  For example, in an effect in which other images such as characters and treasure chests are displayed in addition to an icon image for suggesting an increase in the number of AT games, such as the first suggestion effect, An icon image for suggesting an increase in the number of AT games may be displayed at a position where no AT game is present. On the other hand, as in the second suggestion effect, in the effect that only the icon image for opening the curtain and suggesting the addition of the AT game number is shown to the player, the suggestion regarding the addition of the AT game number is given. The icon image may be displayed at a conspicuous position in the center in order to attract the player's attention to the icon image.

  In any of the first suggestion effect and the second suggestion effect, the timing at which the icon image is displayed is when the third stop is performed. That is, in both the first suggestion effect and the second suggestion effect, the icon image is displayed in response to the third stop. For this reason, the player can recognize that the display performed at a predetermined trigger of the third stop is a display for suggesting the addition of the number of AT games, and suggests in any of two or more different effects. In such a case, the player can easily recognize that the suggestion has been made. Further, the player can recognize that the suggestion is made at a predetermined trigger of the third stop, and as a result, can expect the display of the liquid crystal display 51 at the predetermined trigger.

  While the BGM differs between the first suggestion effect and the second suggestion effect, when the icon image is displayed, a common icon display sound is generated regardless of whether the first suggestion effect or the second suggestion effect is displayed. Is output from. In this way, although the icon display sound when the suggestion is made is the same regardless of the type of effect, the sound can be changed depending on the type of effect, so that the interest of the game is improved.

  In the present embodiment, BGM is output until the suggestion effect ends. That is, the icon display sound is output so as to overlap with the BGM. At this time, the icon display sound may be output so that the volume of the icon display sound is larger than the volume of the BGM. As a method of increasing the volume, the icon display sound may be set to a volume higher than the BGM volume without changing the BGM volume, or the volume of the icon display sound may be reduced by decreasing the BGM volume. You may make it enlarge. In this way, it is possible to make the player easily recognize the sound of the icon display sound. When the volume of the BGM is reduced, it may be restored to the original volume when the output of the icon display sound is stopped. It should be noted that the volume of the speech sound as well as the icon display sound may be larger than the volume of the BGM.

  Further, when outputting the icon display sound, the output of BGM may be stopped. That is, when displaying an icon, the sound may be switched from BGM to icon display sound. In this way, it is possible to make it easier for the player to recognize the sound of the icon display sound, and to make it easier for the player to recognize that the result of the suggestion effect has been displayed or that the suggestion effect has ended. can do.

[Second notice production]
15 and 16 are diagrams illustrating an example of the second notification effect. In the present embodiment, as the second notification effect, a mission effect is executed that achieves a mission in which the character reaches the castle over 2G. In the second notification effect, the music D is output from the speaker 53 as BGM corresponding to the second notification effect.

  As shown in FIG. 15A, when the start operation of the next game is performed by the start switch 7 after the second suggestion effect is finished, an image indicating a mission of “getting to the castle” is displayed. Thereafter, when time elapses, as shown in FIG. 15 (b), an image indicating that the character is traveling on the road is displayed.

  When the third stop is performed in the 1G of the second notification effect, as shown in FIG. 15C, a character image of “Which is?” That asks which of the two divided roads should be followed. Is displayed.

  In the second notification effect, the content of the effect varies depending on the determination result of the notification additional game number lottery (FIG. 2B).

  For example, in the case where the number of notification added games is determined to be 10 G or more by the information added game number lottery (FIG. 2B), the start operation is performed at the second notification effect 2G as shown in FIG. 15D1. The cut-in effect is executed. In this example, a cut-in image composed of characters “Right!” And a character is displayed so as to cover the currently executed effect. Furthermore, when a cut-in effect is executed, a chance sound is output from the speaker 53.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 15 (d2), when the cut-in effect is not executed, when the start operation is performed at the second notification effect 2G, an image indicating that the character is traveling again is displayed. The

  When the number of information added games is determined to be 10G or more by the information added game number lottery (FIG. 2B), as shown in FIG. 15E1, the third stop is performed at the second notification effect 2G. A character image of “WIN” indicating that the character has reached the mission is displayed together with an image of the character reaching the castle. At this time, a WIN sound indicating that the mission has been achieved is output from the speaker 53. Note that the WIN sound in the second notification effect is the same sound as the WIN sound in the first notification effect.

  When the number of information added games is determined to be 0G by the information added game number lottery (FIG. 2 (b)), as shown in FIG. 15 (e2), when the third stop is performed at the second notification effect 2G. The image of the character getting lost is displayed and the background is darkened. At this time, a LOSE sound indicating that the mission could not be achieved is output from the speaker 53. The LOSE sound in the second notification effect is the same sound as the LOSE sound in the first notification effect.

  Next, the effect after the result of the second notification effect will be described. When a character image of “WIN” indicating that the mission has been achieved is displayed as shown in FIG. 16 (a1), when the time has elapsed as shown in FIG. 16 (b1), an operation for the push button 56 is prompted. The PUSH image is displayed at the center of the screen of the liquid crystal display 51.

  As shown in FIG. 16C1, when the PUSH button 56 is operated by the player, an image indicating the number of added games is displayed in the cloud icon. In this example, since the number of notification added games is 50G, a character image of “added + 50G” is displayed in the cloud icon.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 16 (d1), a start operation is performed to execute the original normal AT effect. Since the addition of 50G is notified, 50G is added to the number of remaining AT games displayed in the upper right area 51a of the liquid crystal display 51, and “62G” is displayed.

  On the other hand, when an image indicating that the mission could not be achieved is displayed as shown in FIG. 16 (a2), the start of the game is started as shown in FIG. By performing the operation, the original normal AT effect is executed. In addition, since the additional number of AT games has not been notified, the additional game number is not added to the remaining AT game number displayed in the upper right area 51a of the liquid crystal display 51, and “12G” is displayed. . In addition, the normal AT effect (FIG. 16 (d1), (b2)) executed after the result of the second notification effect is the normal AT effect (FIG. 10 (d1), FIG. 10) executed after the result of the first notification effect. (B2)) is the same effect.

  In both the first notification effect and the second notification effect, a character image of “WIN” is displayed when an additional number of AT games is notified. In both the first notification effect and the second notification effect, the background of the image displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 becomes dark when the addition of the number of AT games is not notified. Therefore, the suggestion regarding the addition of the number of AT games is made by displaying the character image “WIN” or darkening the background of the image.

  The timing at which the cut-in image is displayed in the first notification effect is when the third stop is performed, whereas the timing at which the cut-in image is displayed in the second notification effect is a start operation. When That is, the cut-in effect is performed in response to the third stop during the first notification effect, whereas the cut-in effect is performed in response to the start operation during the second notification effect. Further, in both the first notification effect and the second notification effect, a common chance sound is output from the speaker 53 when the cut-in image is displayed.

  As described above, since the sound output from the speaker 53 is common when the cut-in effect is performed in any of the first notification effect and the second notification effect, the player has the cut-in effect. You can easily recognize what has been done. Further, since the cut-in effect can be performed in any of the different types of effects, various effects can be executed as effects for performing the cut-in effect, and as a result, the interest of the game is improved. Moreover, since the opportunity for displaying the cut-in image in the first notification effect and the opportunity for displaying the cut-in image in the second notification effect can be different, the suggestion regarding the addition of AT according to the length and content of the effect As a result, it is possible to use an image for suggesting the addition of AT to various effects, and the fun of the game is improved.

  Since the same chance sound is output when the cut-in effect is executed in any of the first notification effect and the second notification effect, the cut-in effect is executed regardless of the type of the cut-in effect. This makes it easier for the player to recognize this.

  The cut-in image is composed of a character part and a design part called a character. In this way, since the cut-in image used for the cut-in effect is composed of the character part and the design part, it is easy to understand that the cut-in effect was executed, and the player recognizes that the cut-in effect was executed at a glance. can do.

  In both the first notification effect and the second notification effect, the character image “WIN” is displayed in a common manner. That is, the suggestion regarding the addition of AT is performed in the same manner. As described above, since the suggestion regarding the addition of AT is executed in the same manner in any notification effect, the player was performed even if the suggestion regarding the addition of AT was performed in any notification effect. It is easy to recognize that the thing is an indication regarding the addition of AT.

  With the first notification effect and the second notification effect, the effect mode of the cut-in effect is displayed in the first notification effect while the teammate character displayed during the first notification effect is displayed. Is different in that the character displayed during the second notification effect is displayed. That is, the cut-in effect is performed in the aspect related to the first notification effect during the first notification effect, and the cut-in effect is performed in the aspect related to the second notification effect during the second notification effect. Thus, by executing the cut-in effect in a manner related to the notification effect, the cut-in effect can be executed along with the effect, and the interest of the game is improved.

  Music C is output from the speaker 53 during the first notification effect, and music D is output from the speaker 53 during the second notification effect. On the other hand, when the character image “WIN” is displayed, a WIN display sound is output from the speaker 53 regardless of whether the character image is the first notification effect or the second notification effect. Thus, although the sound output when the suggestion regarding the addition of the AT is performed regardless of the type of the production, the BGM can be changed depending on the type of the production, so that the interest of the game is improved.

  In the present embodiment, the music C and the music D are output until the notification effect ends. That is, the chance sound, the WIN sound, and the LOSE sound are output so as to overlap with the BGM. However, the chance sound that is output in the middle of the notification effect is output so that the volume of the chance sound is higher than the volume of the BGM, and the WIN sound and the LOSE sound that are output at the end of the notification effect are You may make it stop the output of BGM when a sound is output. In other words, when sound is output along with the execution of the suggestion regarding the addition of AT in the middle of the performance, the sound that is always output during the performance is not stopped, and the execution of the suggestion regarding the addition of AT is performed at the end of the performance. In the case of outputting sound, the sound that is constantly output during the production may be switched to a different sound.

  As a method of increasing the volume, the chance sound may be set larger than the BGM volume without changing the BGM volume, or the chance sound volume is increased by decreasing the BGM volume. You may make it do. In this way, the player can easily recognize the chance sound. In addition, by outputting the chance sound without stopping the output of BGM, it is possible to execute the cut-in effect without thinking that the notification effect has ended, and the player can receive the chance sound. Can be easily recognized. When the volume of the BGM is reduced, the original volume may be restored when the output of the chance sound is stopped or when the cut-in effect ends.

  In addition, when a sound related to the addition of AT such as a WIN sound or a LOSE sound is output at the end of the production, the sound may be switched from BGM to a sound related to the addition of AT. In this way, it is possible to make it easier for the player to recognize the sound related to the addition of the AT, and to make it easier for the player to recognize that the presentation has ended.

  Note that when outputting sounds related to the addition of AT (WIN sound, LOSE sound, etc.), the volume of the sound related to the addition of AT is larger than the volume of BGM rather than stopping BGM. It may be.

[Data stored in the sub-control unit]
The sub-control unit 91 includes moving image data (FIG. 9 (d1), (f1), FIG. 15 (e1), etc.) that makes the characters “WIN” shine, and image data that darkens the background (FIG. 4). (D2), (f2), FIG. 15 (e2), etc.) and moving image data (FIG. 9 (e1), FIG. 15 (d2), etc.) used in the cut-in effect are stored in the RAM 91c. In addition, as other data related to the notification effect, regardless of whether or not a privilege is given, moving image data of a common effect (FIGS. 9A to 9C, FIGS. 15A to 15C, etc.) Depending on whether or not the number of AT games is added, moving image data with different effects (FIG. 9 (d1), (d2), FIG. 9 (f1), (f2), FIG. 15 (e1), (e2), etc. ) Are stored. And the sub-control part 91 performs the alerting | presentation effect shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 15 by combining the content of the determined effect with the various moving image data memorize | stored in RAM91c.

  Thus, by providing moving image data for displaying the character image of “WIN” that is executed regardless of whether the first notification effect or the second notification effect, the moving image data is shared by different effects. Therefore, the data capacity can be reduced. Also, moving image data that is commonly used regardless of whether or not an AT is added, moving image data that varies depending on whether or not an AT is added, and moving image data that is commonly used regardless of the type of notification effect Are separately stored in the RAM 91c and used in combination, so that various effects can be performed while reducing the capacity of the moving image data to be stored.

  Similar to the notification effect, the sub-control unit 91 stores, in the RAM 91c, the common moving image data and the moving image data for displaying the icon regardless of the type of icon to be displayed, and the moving image for displaying the icon. Data is stored in the RAM 91c for each type of icon.

  The sub-control unit 91 determines an area for displaying moving image data for displaying an icon and a display size of the moving image data based on the type of suggestion effect. For example, when displaying an icon in the first suggestion effect, the display size is made smaller than in the case of displaying an icon in the second suggestion effect, and the icon is displayed above the center instead of the center of the liquid crystal display 51. Output video data for display.

  Thus, by providing moving image data for displaying an icon that is executed regardless of whether the first suggesting effect or the second suggesting effect, the moving image data can be used in common for different effects. As a result, the data capacity can be reduced. Also, regardless of the type of icon to be displayed, the common moving image data and the moving image data for displaying the icon are separately stored in the RAM 91c and used in combination, so that various effects can be achieved while reducing the amount of stored moving image data. It can be performed.

  In the present embodiment, as an example, the data used in common and the data used individually are stored separately for the moving image data. However, the image data, the sound data, and the like are also common to each effect. The data to be used and the data used individually for each production may be stored separately.

[Main effects]
Next, main effects obtained by the embodiment described above will be described.

(1) In a gaming machine that performs a game (for example, slot machine 1),
Advantageous state control means for controlling the state to an advantageous state (for example, AT) more advantageous than the normal state (non-AT) (for example, processing for controlling to AT by the main control unit 41);
A determining means (for example, the number of added games by the main control unit 41 shown in FIG. 2A) for determining an advantageous amount (for example, the number of added games) for increasing the control period (for example, the number of AT games) to the advantageous state. Process to decide)
Notification effect means for executing the notification effect for notifying the advantageous amount determined by the determination means (for example, processing for executing the notification effect by the sub-control unit 91 shown in FIGS. 9, 10, 15, and 16). When,
Regardless of whether or not the advantageous amount is given, suggestive effect means (for example, FIGS. 5 to 8, and FIG. 5) that executes the suggested effect that suggests the provision of the advantageous amount prior to the execution of the notification effect. 11 to 14), the sub-control unit 91 shown in FIG.
The suggestion producing means is
The more the amount of the advantage notified by the notification effect, the longer the suggestion effect is executed (for example, as the number of games added on the notification increases, as shown in FIG. 2C). The number of games increases),
When the advantageous amount is given, the suggested effect is executed so that the execution period of the suggested effect is longer than when the advantageous amount is not given (for example, as shown in FIGS. 2B and 2C). Thus, when the number of added games is 10G or more (the number of additional games for notification is 10G or more), the number of suggested games is larger than when the number of additional games is 0G (the number of additional games for notification is 0G)) .

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2 (c), in the suggestion effect game number lottery, the lottery probability is set so that the greater the number of games added to the notification, the easier the suggestion effect game number increases. Yes. In other words, the larger the number of suggested effect games, the greater the number of additional games (added amount) in the notification, so that the player can be focused on the suggested effect and the execution period of the suggested effect is expected to continue. The game can be played by the player.

  Further, in the suggestion effect game number lottery, when the added game number is 10G or more (the notification added game number is 10G or more), the suggested effect number is 0G (the notification added game number is 0G). A lottery probability is set so that the number of games is likely to increase. In other words, the greater the number of suggested effect games, the higher the probability (addition rate) that the number of additional games will be notified, so that the player can be focused on the suggested effect, and the execution period of the suggested effect is longer. The player can play while expecting to continue.

  Thereby, the interest of a game can be improved by the suggestion effect which suggests provision of the number of AT games which increases the control period to AT.

(2) In a gaming machine that performs a game (for example, slot machine 1),
Advantageous state control means for controlling the state to an advantageous state (for example, AT) more advantageous than the normal state (non-AT) (for example, processing for controlling to AT by the main control unit 41);
A determining means (for example, the number of added games by the main control unit 41 shown in FIG. 2A) for determining an advantageous amount (for example, the number of added games) for increasing the control period (for example, the number of AT games) to the advantageous state. Process to decide)
Notification effect means for executing the notification effect for notifying the advantageous amount determined by the determination means (for example, processing for executing the notification effect by the sub-control unit 91 shown in FIGS. 9, 10, 15, and 16). When,
Regardless of whether or not the advantageous amount is given, suggestive effect means (for example, FIGS. 5 to 8, and FIG. 5) that executes the suggested effect that suggests the provision of the advantageous amount prior to the execution of the notification effect 11 to 14) to execute the suggestion effect by the sub control unit 91 shown in FIG.
Suggestion means for suggesting the end timing of the notification effect (for example, a process of executing an effect in which the character emits a speech by the sub-control unit 91 shown in FIGS. 5 (d1), (d2), 6 (d1), (d2)) )
The suggestion producing means is
The more the amount of the advantage notified by the notification effect, the longer the suggestion effect is executed (for example, as the number of games added on the notification increases, as shown in FIG. 2C). The number of games increases),
When the advantageous amount is given, the suggested effect is executed so that the execution period of the suggested effect is longer than when the advantageous amount is not given (for example, as shown in FIGS. 2B and 2C). Thus, when the number of added games is 10G or more (the number of additional games for notification is 10G or more), the number of suggested games is larger than when the number of additional games is 0G (the number of additional games for notification is 0G)) ,
The end timing of the notification effect includes a first timing (for example, a timing after the first notification effect (battle effect) shown in FIG. 9 is executed over 2G) and a second timing (for example, FIG. 9). The first notification effect (battle effect) to be shown is performed over 4G),
The suggestion means suggests whether the end timing of the notification effect is the first timing or the second timing at a timing related to the start of the notification effect (for example, FIG. 5 (d1), ( d2), as shown in FIGS. 6 (d1) and (d2), the end timing of the first notification effect (battle effect) is suggested at the timing before the first notification effect (battle effect) is executed).

  Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 5 (d1), (d2), FIGS. 6 (d1), (d2), in the first suggestion effect before the first notification effect (battle effect) is executed, 1 An effect in which the character emits a line suggesting the end timing of the notification effect is performed. Thereby, the number of games until the game in which the AT is added (the end timing of the battle effect) can be suggested to the player at the timing before the start of the first notification effect. It can be expected, and the interest of the game can be improved with respect to the end timing of the first notification effect.

(3) In a gaming machine that performs a game (for example, slot machine 1),
Advantageous state control means for controlling the state to an advantageous state (for example, AT) more advantageous than the normal state (non-AT) (for example, processing for controlling to AT by the main control unit 41);
A determining means (for example, the number of added games by the main control unit 41 shown in FIG. 2A) for determining an advantageous amount (for example, the number of added games) for increasing the control period (for example, the number of AT games) to the advantageous state. Process to decide)
Notification effect means for executing the notification effect for notifying the advantageous amount determined by the determination means (for example, processing for executing the notification effect by the sub-control unit 91 shown in FIGS. 9, 10, 15, and 16). When,
Regardless of whether or not the advantageous amount is given, suggestive effect means (for example, FIGS. 5 to 8, and FIG. 5) that executes the suggested effect that suggests the provision of the advantageous amount prior to the execution of the notification effect. 11 to 14) to execute the suggestion effect by the sub control unit 91 shown in FIG.
The suggestion producing means is
The more the amount of the advantage notified by the notification effect, the longer the suggestion effect is executed (for example, as the number of games added on the notification increases, as shown in FIG. 2C). The number of games increases),
When the advantageous amount is given, the suggested effect is executed so that the execution period of the suggested effect is longer than when the advantageous amount is not given (for example, as shown in FIGS. 2B and 2C). Thus, when the number of added games is 10G or more (the number of additional games for notification is 10G or more), the number of suggested games is larger than when the number of additional games is 0G (the number of additional games for notification is 0G)) ,
In the game in which the suggestion effect ends, a development image suggesting that the effect develops in the notification effect is displayed on the display unit (for example, FIG. 5 (d1), (d2), FIG. 6 (d1), ( d2), FIG. 7 (d1), FIG. 11 (d1), FIG. 12 (d1), and FIG. 13 (d1), “Development” suggesting that the effect develops from the suggestion effect to the notification effect. Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51).

  Specifically, in FIG. 5 (d1), (d2), FIG. 6 (d1), (d2), FIG. 7 (d1), FIG. 11 (d1), FIG. 12 (d1), and FIG. As shown, when the effect develops from the suggestion effect to the notification effect, a cloud icon indicating “development” characters indicating that the effect develops is displayed. Thereby, the end of the suggestion effect and the start of the notification effect can be made clear to the player.

(4) In a gaming machine (for example, slot machine 1) that performs a game,
Advantageous state control means for controlling the state to an advantageous state (for example, AT) more advantageous than the normal state (non-AT) (for example, processing for controlling to AT by the main control unit 41);
A determining means (for example, the number of added games by the main control unit 41 shown in FIG. 2A) for determining an advantageous amount (for example, the number of added games) for increasing the control period (for example, the number of AT games) to the advantageous state. Process to decide)
Notification effect means for executing the notification effect for notifying the advantageous amount determined by the determination means (for example, processing for executing the notification effect by the sub-control unit 91 shown in FIGS. 9, 10, 15, and 16). When,
Regardless of whether or not the advantageous amount is given, suggestive effect means (for example, FIGS. 5 to 8, and FIG. 5) that executes the suggested effect that suggests the provision of the advantageous amount prior to the execution of the notification effect. 11 to 14), the sub-control unit 91 shown in FIG.
The suggestion producing means is
The more the amount of the advantage notified by the notification effect, the longer the suggestion effect is executed (for example, as the number of games added on the notification increases, as shown in FIG. 2C). The number of games increases),
When the advantageous amount is given, the suggested effect is executed so that the execution period of the suggested effect is longer than when the advantageous amount is not given (for example, as shown in FIGS. 2B and 2C). Thus, when the number of added games is 10G or more (the number of additional games for notification is 10G or more), the number of suggested games is larger than when the number of additional games is 0G (the number of additional games for notification is 0G)) ,
In a game in which the suggestion effect continues, a continuation image (for example, a character image of “chance”) suggesting the continuation of the suggestion effect may be displayed on the display unit (for example, the liquid crystal display 51).
In a game in which the suggestion effect ends, a development image (for example, a character image of “development”) that suggests that the effect develops in the notification effect is displayed on the display unit (for example, the liquid crystal display 51). There is
The mode of the suggestion effect when the continuous image is displayed and the mode of the suggestion effect when the developed image is displayed are common (for example, FIG. 5 (d1), (d2), (d3 ), FIG. 6 (d1), (d2), (d3), FIG. 7 (d1), (d2), FIG. 11 (d1), (d2), FIG. 12 (d1), (d2), and FIG. As shown in d1) and (d2), the mode of the cloud icon when the effect develops and the mode of the cloud icon when the suggestive effect continues are common).

  Specifically, FIG. 5 (d1), (d2), (d3), FIG. 6 (d1), (d2), (d3), FIG. 7 (d1), (d2), FIG. 11 (d1), ( As shown in d2), FIG. 12 (d1), (d2), and FIG. 13 (d1), (d2), when the production develops, the word “development” is displayed on the cloud icon, while suggesting When the effect continues, the word “chance” is displayed on the cloud icon in the same manner (color, shape and size are the same) as when the effect is developed. In this way, since the player is informed by the cloud icon, which is a common aspect, whether the effect develops from the suggestion effect to the notification effect, or whether the suggestion effect continues, the player can understand the subsequent development. It can be suggested easily, and the interest of the game can be improved by expecting the subsequent development.

(5) In a gaming machine that performs a game (for example, slot machine 1),
Advantageous state control means for controlling the state to an advantageous state (for example, AT) more advantageous than the normal state (non-AT) (for example, processing for controlling to AT by the main control unit 41);
A determining means (for example, the number of added games by the main control unit 41 shown in FIG. 2A) for determining an advantageous amount (for example, the number of added games) for increasing the control period (for example, the number of AT games) to the advantageous state. Process to decide)
Notification effect means for executing the notification effect for notifying the advantageous amount determined by the determination means (for example, processing for executing the notification effect by the sub-control unit 91 shown in FIGS. 9, 10, 15, and 16). When,
Regardless of whether or not the advantageous amount is given, suggestive effect means (for example, FIGS. 5 to 8, and FIG. 5) that executes the suggested effect that suggests the provision of the advantageous amount prior to the execution of the notification effect. 11 to 14), the sub-control unit 91 shown in FIG.
The suggestion producing means is
The more the amount of the advantage notified by the notification effect, the longer the suggestion effect is executed (for example, as the number of games added on the notification increases, as shown in FIG. 2C). The number of games increases),
When the advantageous amount is given, the suggested effect is executed so that the execution period of the suggested effect is longer than when the advantageous amount is not given (for example, as shown in FIGS. 2B and 2C). Thus, when the number of added games is 10G or more (the number of additional games for notification is 10G or more), the number of suggested games is larger than when the number of additional games is 0G (the number of additional games for notification is 0G)) ,
The execution period of the suggestion effect includes a fixed execution period (for example, when the first suggestion effect is 3G or 4G) in which the provision of the advantageous amount is fixed.

  Specifically, in the suggested effect game number lottery shown in FIG. 2C, when the suggested effect game number is 3G or 4G, the number of added games is notified with a probability of 100%. As a result, when the execution period of the suggestion effect continues to be 3G or more, it is determined that the number of additional games will be notified, so that the player can play the game while expecting the suggestion effect to be 3G or more. it can.

(6) In a gaming machine that performs a game (for example, slot machine 1),
Advantageous state control means for controlling the state to an advantageous state (for example, AT) more advantageous than the normal state (non-AT) (for example, processing for controlling to AT by the main control unit 41);
A determining means (for example, the number of added games by the main control unit 41 shown in FIG. 2A) for determining an advantageous amount (for example, the number of added games) for increasing the control period (for example, the number of AT games) to the advantageous state. Process to decide)
Notification effect means for executing the notification effect for notifying the advantageous amount determined by the determination means (for example, processing for executing the notification effect by the sub-control unit 91 shown in FIGS. 9, 10, 15, and 16). When,
Regardless of whether or not the advantageous amount is given, suggestive effect means (for example, FIGS. 5 to 8, and FIG. 5) that executes the suggested effect that suggests the provision of the advantageous amount prior to the execution of the notification effect. 11 to 14), the sub-control unit 91 shown in FIG.
The suggestion producing means is
The more the amount of the advantage notified by the notification effect, the longer the suggestion effect is executed (for example, as the number of games added on the notification increases, as shown in FIG. 2C). The number of games increases),
When the advantageous amount is given, the suggested effect is executed so that the execution period of the suggested effect is longer than when the advantageous amount is not given (for example, as shown in FIGS. 2B and 2C). Thus, when the number of added games is 10G or more (the number of additional games for notification is 10G or more), the number of suggested games is larger than when the number of additional games is 0G (the number of additional games for notification is 0G)) ,
In the game in which the suggestion effect ends, a development image (for example, a character image of “development”) suggesting that the effect develops in the notification effect is displayed on the display unit (for example, the liquid crystal display 51). Yes,
The execution period of the suggestion effect includes a fixed execution period (for example, when the first suggestion effect is 3G or 4G) in which the provision of the advantageous amount is fixed,
When the execution period of the suggestion effect is the fixed execution period and the notification effect starts after the suggestion effect, the developed image is not displayed on the display unit (for example, FIG. 8D and FIG. 14 ( As shown in d), when the suggestion effect is 4G, a cloud icon indicating “development” is not displayed).

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8D and FIG. 14D, when the suggestion effect is executed over 4G and the addition of the AT game is confirmed, the characters “Development” are shown in the cloud icon. Instead, the characters “PUSH” prompting the operation of the PUSH button 56 are shown. Thereby, since the character of “development” shown when the suggestion effect is 1G to 3G is not shown in the 4G, the effect is diversified and the interest of the game can be improved.

(7) In a gaming machine that performs a game (for example, slot machine 1),
Advantageous state control means for controlling the state to an advantageous state (for example, AT) more advantageous than the normal state (non-AT) (for example, processing for controlling to AT by the main control unit 41);
A determining means (for example, the number of added games by the main control unit 41 shown in FIG. 2A) for determining an advantageous amount (for example, the number of added games) for increasing the control period (for example, the number of AT games) to the advantageous state. Process to decide)
Notification effect means for executing the notification effect for notifying the advantageous amount determined by the determination means (for example, processing for executing the notification effect by the sub-control unit 91 shown in FIGS. 9, 10, 15, and 16). When,
Regardless of whether or not the advantageous amount is given, suggestive effect means (for example, FIGS. 5 to 8, and FIG. 5) that executes the suggested effect that suggests the provision of the advantageous amount prior to the execution of the notification effect. 11 to 14) to execute the suggestion effect by the sub control unit 91 shown in FIG.
Suggestion means for suggesting execution of the suggestion effect (for example, display of the number of games of suggestion effect in the area 51b, music tempo of BGM in the suggestion effect, treasure box pattern in the first suggestion effect, curtain pattern in the second suggestion effect) And
The suggestion producing means is
The more the amount of the advantage notified by the notification effect, the longer the suggestion effect is executed (for example, as the number of games added on the notification increases, as shown in FIG. 2C). The number of games increases),
When the advantageous amount is given, the suggested effect is executed so that the execution period of the suggested effect is longer than when the advantageous amount is not given (for example, as shown in FIGS. 2B and 2C). Thus, when the number of added games is 10G or more (the number of additional games for notification is 10G or more), the number of suggested games is larger than when the number of additional games is 0G (the number of additional games for notification is 0G)) ,
The suggestion means changes the aspect with the progress of the execution period of the suggestion effect (for example, the first suggestion effect shown in FIGS. 5 to 8 and the second suggestion effect shown in FIGS. 11 to 14). .

  Specifically, in the first suggestion effect shown in FIGS. 5 to 8, as the number of games of the first suggestion effect increases, the number of suggestion effect games displayed in the region 51 b is added and updated, and the music of the BGM is updated. The tempo increases and the treasure chest pattern changes. In addition, in the second suggestion effect shown in FIGS. 11 to 14, as the number of games of the second suggestion effect increases, the number of suggestion effect games displayed in the area 51 b is added and updated, and the music tempo of BGM becomes faster. The curtain pattern changes. This makes it possible for the player to easily recognize the number of games in the suggestion effect as a clue that the aspect of the effect changes.

(8) In a gaming machine that performs a game (for example, slot machine 1),
Advantageous state control means for controlling the state to an advantageous state (for example, AT) more advantageous than the normal state (non-AT) (for example, processing for controlling to AT by the main control unit 41);
A determining means (for example, the number of added games by the main control unit 41 shown in FIG. 2A) for determining an advantageous amount (for example, the number of added games) for increasing the control period (for example, the number of AT games) to the advantageous state. Process to decide)
Notification effect means for executing the notification effect for notifying the advantageous amount determined by the determination means (for example, processing for executing the notification effect by the sub-control unit 91 shown in FIGS. 9, 10, 15, and 16). When,
Regardless of whether or not the advantageous amount is given, suggestive effect means (for example, FIGS. 5 to 8, and FIG. 5) that executes the suggested effect that suggests the provision of the advantageous amount prior to the execution of the notification effect. 11 to 14) to execute the suggestion effect by the sub control unit 91 shown in FIG.
Suggesting means for suggesting execution of the suggestion effect (for example, display of the number of games of the suggestion effect in the region 51b, a treasure box pattern in the first notification effect, a curtain pattern in the second notification effect),
The suggestion producing means is
The more the amount of the advantage notified by the notification effect, the longer the suggestion effect is executed (for example, as the number of games added on the notification increases, as shown in FIG. 2C). The number of games increases),
When the advantageous amount is given, the suggested effect is executed so that the execution period of the suggested effect is longer than when the advantageous amount is not given (for example, as shown in FIGS. 2B and 2C). Thus, when the number of added games is 10G or more (the number of additional games for notification is 10G or more), the number of suggested games is larger than when the number of additional games is 0G (the number of additional games for notification is 0G)) ,
The suggestion means changes the aspect with the progress of the execution period of the suggestion effect (for example, the first suggestion effect shown in FIGS. 5 to 8 and the second suggestion effect shown in FIGS. 11 to 14). ,
The suggestion means is a sound output means (for example, a speaker 53) for outputting a sound, and the sound output from the sound output means in the suggestion effect has a faster tempo as the execution period of the suggestion effect elapses ( For example, the aspect of the 1st suggestion effect shown in FIGS. 5-8, the aspect of the 2nd suggestion effect shown in FIGS. 11-14).

  Specifically, in the first suggestion effect shown in FIGS. 5 to 8, the music tempo of BGM becomes faster as the number of games of the first suggestion effect increases. In addition, in the second suggestion effect shown in FIGS. 11 to 14, the music tempo of BGM becomes faster as the number of games of the second suggestion effect increases. This makes it possible for the player to easily recognize the number of games in the suggestion effect based on the change in the music tempo of the BGM. Furthermore, since the music tempo increases as the number of games of the first suggestion effect increases, the flashy effect will be produced as it approaches 3G where the addition of AT is confirmed or 4G where the addition of 100G is confirmed. It can be provided to the player and the interest of the game can be improved.

(9) In a gaming machine that performs a game (for example, slot machine 1),
Advantageous state control means for controlling the state to an advantageous state (for example, AT) more advantageous than the normal state (non-AT) (for example, processing for controlling to AT by the main control unit 41);
A determining means (for example, the number of added games by the main control unit 41 shown in FIG. 2A) for determining an advantageous amount (for example, the number of added games) for increasing the control period (for example, the number of AT games) to the advantageous state. Process to decide)
Notification effect means for executing the notification effect for notifying the advantageous amount determined by the determination means (for example, processing for executing the notification effect by the sub-control unit 91 shown in FIGS. 9, 10, 15, and 16). When,
Regardless of whether or not the advantageous amount is given, suggestive effect means (for example, FIGS. 5 to 8, and FIG. 5) that executes the suggested effect that suggests the provision of the advantageous amount prior to the execution of the notification effect. 11 to 14), the sub-control unit 91 shown in FIG.
The suggestion producing means is
The more the amount of the advantage notified by the notification effect, the longer the suggestion effect is executed (for example, as the number of games added on the notification increases, as shown in FIG. 2C). The number of games increases),
When the advantageous amount is given, the suggested effect is executed so that the execution period of the suggested effect is longer than when the advantageous amount is not given (for example, as shown in FIGS. 2B and 2C). Thus, when the number of added games is 10G or more (the number of additional games for notification is 10G or more), the number of suggested games is larger than when the number of additional games is 0G (the number of additional games for notification is 0G)) ,
There may be cases where part or all of the advantageous amount is notified by the notification effect without executing the suggestion effect (for example, as shown in FIGS. 2 (c) and 4 (c2)) Even if the number of effect games is 0G, the number of additional games of 50G or more may be notified).

  Specifically, in the suggestion effect game number lottery shown in FIG. 2C, even if the suggestion effect game number is 0G, the number of additional games may be notified. As a result, as shown in FIG. 4 (c2), for example, it is possible to make the player pay attention to the fact that the addition of the number of AT games is notified in the game won for the rare role. Further, when the number of suggestion effects games is 0G, when an increase is notified, 50G or more is determined as the number of notification addition games, so when the number of additional games is notified without the suggestion effect being executed, the notification addition is added. The player can be expected to have a large number of games.

  (10) As shown in FIGS. 3B and 3C, the AT is added depending on the number of games of the first notification effect (for example, whether the timing when the battle effect ends is 2 games or 4 games). Since the probabilities are different, the end timing of the first notification effect can be noticed, and the interest of the game is improved.

  (11) As shown in FIG. 3B, when the number of AT games is not given, the end timing of the battle effect may be determined as any of 2 to 4 games. Therefore, since the number of AT games is not necessarily added at the timing when the first notification effect ends, the interest of the first notification effect can be improved.

  (12) As shown in FIG. 5 (d1), as an effect suggesting that the first notification effect ends with a short number of games, a line image “I expect an early conclusion” is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 together with a cloud icon. Is displayed. Further, as shown in FIG. 5 (d2), as an effect suggesting that the first notification effect ends with a long number of games, a dialogue image of “may be a long battle” is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 together with a cloud icon. Is done. In this way, the end timing of the first notification effect can be suggested while suggesting the development to the first notification effect, so that it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

  (13) When the cloud icon is displayed, an icon display sound is output from the speaker 53 regardless of whether the first suggestion effect or the second suggestion effect is displayed. In other words, the sound output from the speaker 53 when the cloud icon is displayed is a common sound called the icon display sound regardless of whether it is the first suggestion effect or the second suggestion effect. The player can easily recognize that the cloud icon is displayed. In addition, since the cloud icon can be displayed in any of the different types of effects, various effects can be executed as effects for displaying the cloud icon, and as a result, the entertainment of the game is improved. To do.

[Modification]
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications and applications are possible. Hereinafter, other modifications of the above-described embodiment applicable to the present invention will be described.

[Advantageous state]
In the present embodiment, the AT is exemplified as the advantageous state, but the present invention is not limited to this. The advantageous state may be a state where the probability that the gaming value is increased more than the normal state, or a state where the probability that the gaming value (for example, medals) is consumed is lower than the normal state. Further, the advantageous state may be a state having a high probability of being controlled to a more advantageous state (for example, AT) than the normal state (for example, non-CZ), such as CZ (chance zone). Further, the advantageous state may be an added specialized zone where the probability of increasing the control period to the AT is higher than the normal state (eg, non-AT) or the AT.

[About advantageous amount]
In the present embodiment, the number of AT games is exemplified as an advantageous amount, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the advantageous amount may be a navigation stock that is a right to be controlled by the AT. For example, one navigation stock may correspond to the number of 50G AT games. Further, the advantage amount may be a winning probability in a continuous lottery for determining whether or not to control to the next set of ATs after the end of one set of ATs. The higher the winning probability, the longer the AT continues. It may be. Further, if the AT that is terminated on the condition that the number of executions of the navigation has reached a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 50 times) is set to an advantageous state, the upper limit number may be increased as an advantageous amount. Good. Furthermore, if the AT that ends on the condition that the number of medals paid out during the AT or the number of net increase has reached a predetermined upper limit number is set to an advantageous state, the upper limit number is increased as an advantageous amount. There may be.

[Notice of beneficial amount]
In the present embodiment, out of the added number of games added and determined in the added game number lottery shown in FIG. 2A, the number of reported added games determined in the notified additional game number lottery shown in FIG. The notification effect is used for notification, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, all of the number of added games determined to be assigned in the additional game number lottery may be notified by the notification effect without performing the additional game number lottery. Further, in the suggestion effect game number lottery shown in FIG. 2 (c), the suggestion effect game is selected from 0G to 4G based on a predetermined probability for each of the additional game numbers given and determined in the additional game number lottery. The number may be determined. That is, the suggestion effect may be executed over a longer period as the number of additional games determined to be given in the additional game number lottery is larger.

[Number of suggested directing games]
In the present embodiment, in the suggested effect game number lottery shown in FIG. 2C, the suggested effect game number is determined from 0G to 4G based on a predetermined probability for each notification added game number. Although it was a thing, it is not restricted to this. For example, the number of suggested effect games corresponding to the number of games added to the notification is not limited to determining the number of suggested effect games by lottery, but may be determined in advance. Specifically, when the number of notification added games is 0G, the number of suggested effect games is 1G, when the number of notification added games is 10G, the number of suggested effect games is 2G, and when the number of notification added games is 50G, When the number of effect games is 3G and the number of additional games is 100G, the number of suggested effect games may correspond to 4G. Note that the maximum number of suggested effect games is not limited to 4G, and any number of multiple games may be used.

  In the present embodiment, the number of games is determined by lottery of the suggested effect game number in both the first suggested effect (treasure box effect) and the second suggested effect (curtain effect), but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, for the second suggestion effect (curtain effect), the number of games may be fixed in advance. In other words, one suggestive effect is executed over a longer period as the amount of advantage increases, while another suggestion effect is executed over a longer period as the amount of advantage increases. Not necessarily.

  In the present embodiment, the number of suggested effect games is 0G to 4G in common with the first suggestion effect (treasure box effect) and the second suggestion effect (curtain effect), but is not limited thereto. For example, the number of suggested effect games may be different between the first suggestion effect (treasure box effect) and the second suggestion effect (curtain effect). Furthermore, the winning probabilities of the number of suggested effect games may be different between the first suggestion effect (treasure box effect) and the second suggestion effect (curtain effect). The first suggestion effect (treasure box effect) is executed over a longer period as the amount of advantage increases, whereas the second suggestion effect (curtain effect) is shorter as the amount of advantage increases. It may be executed over a period of time.

[About suggestion means]
In the present embodiment, as suggestion means for suggesting execution of the suggestion effect, the display of the number of games of the suggestion effect in the area 51b, the music tempo of the BGM in the suggestion effect, the pattern of the treasure box in the first suggestion effect, and the second suggestion Although the curtain pattern in the production is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the suggestion means may be a lamp that changes the mode every time the number of games of suggestion effects is digested. Further, the suggestion means may be a screen display of the liquid crystal display 51, or the appearance (color or the like) of the outer frame on the screen display changes each time the number of suggestion effects is consumed. Good. Each time the number of suggested effects games is exhausted, the aspect of the area different from the effect area used in the suggested effects may be changed.

[About the production suggesting the end timing of the announcement production]
In the present embodiment, the effects in which the character lines are different have been described as effects that suggest the end timing of the notification effect (battle effect). However, the effect that suggests the end timing may be any effect as long as the effect can indicate the end timing. The effect may be that the contents of the lines are the same and the colors of the lines are different, or that the characters that emit the lines are different. Moreover, the effect which suggests completion | finish timing with the color of a background may be sufficient. Further, the light emitting means may be provided around the slot machine 1 instead of on the screen of the liquid crystal display 51, and the end timing may be suggested by the light emission mode of the light emitting means.

  In addition, there may be an effect of confirming the winning of the benefit as an effect suggesting the end timing of the notification effect (battle effect). For example, as a “win decision”, an effect that always wins in a subsequent battle effect may be executed. Moreover, you may display the character which confirms the winning of provision of a privilege. Further, when the winning of the privilege is confirmed, the number of battle effect games executed may be shortened or may be made longer than the case where the winning of the privilege is not confirmed.

  Further, when an effect suggesting the end timing of the notification effect (battle effect) is executed, an effect using the PUSH button 56 as the operation means may be executed. For example, before the battle effect is started, the character may execute an effect based on the operation of the PUSH button 56, or the color of the message based on the operation of the PUSH button 56. The pattern may be different.

  In addition, the effect suggesting the end timing of the notification effect (battle effect) may be a predetermined timing in the game in which the battle effect is started, instead of the timing before the start of the battle effect. For example, the content of the battle effect may be displayed as a title at the timing when the battle effect is started, and the end timing may be suggested depending on the form of the title. In addition, an effect suggesting the end timing of the battle effect may be executed at a timing before the start of the battle effect, and an effect indicating the end timing of the battle effect may be executed at the timing when the battle effect is started. Also, an effect suggesting the end timing of the battle effect may be executed during the battle effect (after the second game).

  In addition, the effect that suggests the end timing of the notification effect (battle effect) may be an effect that suggests that the end timing is temporally shortened. For example, the end timing may be suggested by the length of time displayed on a timer indicating time or a clock.

[Notification production]
In the present embodiment, the battle effect has been described as an example of the first notification effect. However, the first notification effect may be other than the battle effect, or any effect as long as it is a continuous effect over a period in which a plurality of games are executed. Moreover, the battle production has determined the number of games to be executed by winning the lottery of the privilege. In such a case, the result of the battle effect may be changed from defeat to victory based on the fact that the bonus lottery is won in the middle of the battle effect. Moreover, based on having won the lottery of a privilege in the middle of a battle production, the production which suggests the timing which a battle production ends in the said game may be performed.

[Common matters when displaying images used for suggesting benefits with different effects]
In this embodiment, when displaying an icon that is an image used for a suggestion related to a privilege during the first suggestion effect and the second suggestion effect, the sound at the time of display, the mode of the icon, and the opportunity to display are common. Take what you do as an example. Also, during the first notification effect and the second notification effect, when displaying a cut-in image that is an image used for suggesting a privilege, the sound for display, the size to be displayed, and the position to be displayed are common. Take what you do as an example. In addition, during the first notification effect and the second notification effect, when displaying the character image “WIN”, which is an image used for suggesting the privilege, the sound at the time of display, the size to be displayed, the position to be displayed, An example is given in which the timing of display and the mode of the image are common. However, when displaying an image used for suggestion related to a privilege during different effects, at least one of the sound when displayed, the display mode, the display position, the opportunity to display, and the size of the image is each effect. It only has to be common.

[Image used for suggesting benefits]
In the present embodiment, the icon displayed in the suggestion display is an icon made up of only a design portion that does not include a character portion, although the character portion is a constituent element, like a cloud icon indicating a developed character. Also good. For example, a specific character may be an icon displayed in the suggestion display. Also, in the notification effect, the character image “WIN” is displayed. However, the image including only the design portion where the character has a V sign is displayed as the first notification effect and the second notification effect. May be. Similarly, for cut-in effects, an image composed only of a design portion of a specific character may be displayed as a cut-in image. Thus, since the image used for the suggestion regarding the privilege is composed only of the design portion, the image is easy to understand, and the player can recognize that the suggestion regarding the privilege has been performed at a glance.

  In the present embodiment, the icon used in the suggestion effect may be used as a cut-in image during the notification effect. Further, instead of the character image “WIN” in the notification effect, a WIN icon used in the suggestion effect may be used. Thus, since the image used for the suggestion regarding the privilege is composed of the character portion and the design portion, the image is easy to understand, and the player can recognize that the suggestion regarding the privilege has been performed at a glance.

  In this embodiment, the case where the suggestion display is executed in the same manner in which the same icon is displayed in any suggestion effect is shown during the first suggestion effect and during the second suggestion effect. However, the suggestion display may be executed in a mode related to each effect during the first suggestion effect and during the second suggestion effect. For example, when a treasure box is opened as in the first suggestion effect, it may be suggested that a privilege is granted by displaying gold coins. On the other hand, when the curtain is opened as in the second suggestion effect, it may be suggested that the privilege is given by the shape of the cloud icon. Even in such a case, if any one of the sound, the display position, and the display timing at the time of executing the suggestion display is common, the player can easily recognize that it is the suggestion display. . Thus, by performing the suggestion display in an aspect related to the effect, the suggestion display can be executed along with the effect, and the interest of the game is improved.

  In the present embodiment, the same character image “WIN” is displayed in both notification effects during the first notification effect and during the second notification effect. The case where an image is the same aspect was shown as an example. However, it may be different between the first notification effect and the second notification effect. For example, the character image “Victory” is displayed in relation to the battle effect during the first notification effect, and the character image “arrival” is displayed in relation to the mission effect during the second notification effect. Good. In this way, by performing the suggestion display in an aspect related to the effect, the suggestion related to the privilege can be executed along the effect using the image, and the interest of the game is improved.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, the example which makes the aspect of a cut-in image different in the 1st alerting | reporting effect and the 2nd alerting | reporting effect was shown. However, the aspect of the cut-in image may be the same during the first notification effect and during the second notification effect. For example, when the image of a specific character is a cut-in image, the image of the specific character may be used as the cut-in image for any notification effect. As described above, since the cut-in effect is performed in the same manner regardless of the type of the effect, the player can execute the cut-in effect regardless of the effect of the cut-in effect. It is easy to recognize that there is.

[Sound output from the speaker]
In this embodiment, the sound being common means that at least the tone color and the pitch are the same, and the volume may be changed. For example, the icon display sound output during the first notification effect and the second notification effect need only have the same tone color and pitch. In a gaming machine in which the player can adjust the volume, the volume is set differently when the first suggestion effect is executed and when the second suggestion effect is executed. There is. Even in such a case, it is possible to recognize that the suggestion display is performed by making the tone color and the pitch of the sound output when the suggestion display is performed common.

[Sound output for each type of image used for suggesting benefits]
In the present embodiment, the same icon display sound is output from the speaker 53 regardless of which icon is displayed. However, depending on the type of icon displayed, the sound output from the speaker 53 is changed. It may be changed. Specifically, the icon display sound A may be output when the development icon is displayed, and the icon display sound B may be output when the intense heat icon is displayed. Thus, since the sound output for every kind of suggestion display is different, various effects can be executed, and the interest of the game is improved.

  Further, during the notification effect, the WIN sound is output when the character image “WIN” is displayed. However, the character image “LOSE” may be displayed in the effect executed when neither the first privilege nor the second privilege is won. In this case, the same sound may be output regardless of whether the character image “WIN” is displayed or the character image “LOSE” is displayed. By doing in this way, it is easy for a player to recognize that the suggestion about the privilege was performed.

  Also in cut-in effects, any one of a plurality of types of cut-in images can be displayed, and the sound output when the cut-in image is displayed for each type of cut-in image. It may be different. However, when the same type of cut-in image is displayed in the first notification effect and the second notification effect, the same sound is output from the speaker 53. For example, a cut-in image in which the character A is displayed and a cut-in image in which the character B is displayed are provided. When the cut-in image of the character A is displayed, the chance sound A is output, and the cut-in image of the character B is output. When “” is displayed, the chance sound B may be output. In this way, since the output sound is different for each type of cut-in image, various effects can be executed, and the fun of the game is improved.

[About BGM]
In the present embodiment, the BGM is changed during the first suggestion effect, during the second suggestion effect, during the first notification effect, and during the second notification effect, but the same BGM is output for all effects. May be. In addition, the voice of the character may be changed in an effect that the character speaks instead of the BGM.

[Tips for displaying images used for suggesting benefits]
In the present embodiment, the timing for displaying the image used for the suggestion regarding the privilege is set when the third stop is performed or when the start operation is performed. It may be triggered by the elapse of a period. In addition, an effect that prompts the user to operate the push button 56 may be performed, and an image used for suggesting a privilege may be displayed when the push button 56 is operated. For example, in the first effect in which the degree of expectation related to the privilege is higher than the second effect, an image used for suggesting the privilege is displayed when an operation is performed on the operation means not related to the progress of the game, such as the PUSH button 56. In the second effect, like the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R, an image used for suggesting a privilege may be displayed in response to an operation on the operation means related to the progress of the game.

[Game machine]
In the present embodiment, as an example of a gaming machine, a plurality of reels capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of symbols each identifiable are provided, and after the reels are variably displayed, the display result is displayed by stopping the reel variability display. Described and explained the slot machine that can generate a winning according to the combination of display results of a plurality of reels. In other words, a plurality of variable display units capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information each identifiable are provided, and after the variable display unit is variably displayed, the display result is derived by stopping the variable display of the variable display unit. A slot machine that can generate a winning according to a combination of display results of a plurality of variable display units has been described. However, a variable display unit capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information each identifiable is provided. After the variable display unit is variably displayed, the display result is derived by stopping the variable display of the variable display unit. As long as the slot machine can generate a prize according to the display result, the slot machine is not limited to one having three reels, but one having only one reel or a slot machine having a plurality of reels other than three. Also good.

  The gaming machine may be a so-called pachinko gaming machine. An effect display device composed of a liquid crystal display device (LCD) is provided near the center of the gaming area of the pachinko gaming machine. When the game ball wins a predetermined winning opening, the special variation display device displays at least one of the special first special symbol and the second special symbol in a variable manner, and the effect display device displays the first special symbol and the second special symbol. Among them, a variation display (also referred to as variable display, update display, or cyclic display) of effect symbols (decorative symbols) synchronized with at least one variation display is performed. The variation display of the effect symbols is executed in various variations such as scroll display and on-site switching display. The effect display device corresponds to a variable display device that performs variable display of effect symbols (decorative symbols) as a plurality of types of identification information that can be identified. In the effect display device, an effect symbol display area for displaying an effect symbol on the display screen is provided. In the effect symbol display area, for example, three (plural) of “left”, “middle”, and “right” are provided. There is a symbol display area as a display area for variably displaying effect symbols. Each of these three effect symbols is an effect symbol as a plurality of types of identification information that can be identified.

  In the pachinko machine, the game ball has won a predetermined winning opening, but a predetermined start condition is satisfied (when the variable display due to the stored memory that is not in the big hit game and has been won first is ended). If not, it is stored as reserved storage information within a predetermined upper limit (for example, 4). Here, the on-hold storage information is information for specifying whether or not to control to a specific gaming state (for example, a big hit state), for example.

  When displaying an image suggesting that the privilege of controlling to a big hit state is given in any of a plurality of different types of effects, the sound output when displaying the image, the opportunity to display the image It is sufficient that at least one of the position for displaying the image and the size of the image is common.

  A plurality of periods controlled to the big hit state may be provided. In such a case, an effect suggesting the end timing of the period controlled to the big hit state may be executed at a timing related to the start of the big hit state. In addition, in the case of being controlled to a probabilistic state in which the winning probability of winning a big hit after the big hit state is increased or a short time state in which the fluctuation time is shortened, an effect that suggests the end timing of these states at the timing related to the control of these states May be executed.

  The big hit gaming state, the probability variation state, or the short time state may be an advantageous state. Prior to the execution of a notification effect (for example, a fanfare effect for generating a big hit, a big hit finalizing effect, etc.) for notifying part or all of an advantageous amount (for example, the number of fluctuations) for controlling to these advantageous states, A suggestion effect (for example, a prefetch effect, a reach effect, etc.) suggesting the provision of an advantageous amount may be executed. In addition, the greater the amount of benefit that is notified or the amount of benefit that is given, the suggestion effect may be executed over a longer period of time. As an example in this case, for example, The pseudo rotation of the reel as described above may be performed over a longer period (a larger number of times) as the notified advantageous amount or the given advantageous amount is larger.

  In the above-described example, when the advantageous amount is given, the suggestion effect may be executed over a longer period than when the advantageous amount is not given. Further, the suggestion mode in the suggesting means for suggesting execution of the suggestion effect may change with the progress of the execution period of the suggestion effect. As an example in this case, for example, the pseudo-continuation performed at the reach effect is performed. In the above, the aspect on the lamp, the liquid crystal screen, or the aspect such as BGM may be changed with the pseudo rotation of the reel in the pseudo series.

[About production and notification]
In the above-described example, an example in which production and notification are performed using the liquid crystal display 51 has been given. For example, the speaker 53, a back lamp disposed on the rear side (inside) of the reel, and a front lamp side disposed on the reel. Transparent liquid crystal display (liquid crystal display configured so that the reel can be seen), lamps and LEDs mounted on the front door, vibration of the stop switch, ventilation from the periphery of the stop switch, change in temperature of the stop switch, etc. The effect may be executed by means different from the above embodiment.
