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

  The gaming machine 1 includes a gaming board 90. The game board 90 is formed of a substantially square plywood, and a guide rail 903 forming a passage for guiding a game ball fired by operation of a firing device 908 (a firing handle) to a game area 902 has a substantially arc shape. It is provided as follows.

  In the game area 902, a display device 10, a start winning port 904, a large winning port 906, an out port, and the like are provided. The display area 11 of the display device 10 is an area visually recognized through an opening formed in the game board 90. Further, in the game area 902, a plurality of game nails are provided as obstacles that change the flow form of the game balls when the game balls flow down. The game ball flowing down the game area 902 changes in various modes according to the conditions at the time of collision with the game nail.

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

  Components of the gaming machine 1 not related to the present invention, such as the frame of the gaming machine 1 and the lower plate and the upper plate for storing game balls, are not described. For these, those having the same structure as a known game machine can be applied.

  The jackpot lottery is executed by a winning / failing determination means provided on a control board (not shown) triggered by a winning of a game ball to the starting winning port 904 (a plurality of such starting winning ports may be provided). Specifically, when a game ball is awarded to the starting winning opening 904, a numerical value (acceptance determination information) is obtained from a random number source, and if the numerical value is the same as a predetermined jackpot value, a jackpot is determined. If they are different, they will be missed. In the present embodiment, the notification of the validity determination result is started in the order in which the numerical values are obtained (so-called fluctuation is started). However, the validity determination information for which the notification of the validity determination result has not been completed exists. In such a case, the newly acquired validity determination information is stored in the storage means provided on the control board (not shown) as suspension information. The fact that the hold information is stored in the storage means is displayed as a hold image (hold symbol) 80 (see FIG. 2).

  In the present embodiment, as the hold image 80, the notification effect of notifying the result of the determination as to whether or not the determination has been started (the variation of the identification symbol 70 (the identification symbol group 70g) indicating the determination of the determination as to whether the determination has been started) is performed. The notification of the result is not completed (the fluctuation of the identification symbol 70 (the identification symbol group 70g) is not stopped in the mode indicating the result of the determination of the success / failure), and the fluctuation holding image 81 (so-called “the fluctuation suspension”) is displayed. And the notification effect for notifying the result of the determination of whether or not the change has been started (the change of the identification symbol 70 (the identification symbol group 70g) indicating the result of the determination of the determination has not been started). Is displayed (see FIG. 2). An upper limit is set for the maximum storage number of the suspension information corresponding to the pre-change suspension image 82. In the present embodiment, the maximum number of storages of the hold information (acceptance determination information) obtained by winning the start winning opening 904 (so-called “special figure 1”) is four.

  In the present embodiment, similarly to the known gaming machines, the result of the determination as to whether or not the game is valid is notified to the player by a combination of the identification symbols 70 (see FIG. 2) displayed in the display area 11 of the display device 10. Specifically, an identification symbol group 70g (a left identification symbol group 70gL, a middle identification symbol group 70gC, a right identification symbol group 70gR) including a plurality of types of identification symbols 70 starts to change, and finally each identification symbol group 70g , One identification symbol 70 is selected and stopped. When the jackpot has been won, the combination of the identification symbols 70 selected and stopped from each of the identification symbol groups 70g is a predetermined combination (for example, three identical identification symbols 70). In the case of a miss, a combination other than that (other than the combination that makes a big hit) is made. In each drawing, only “numbers (characters)” constituting the identification symbol 70 are illustrated, but a symbol in which the numeral and a character are combined can be set as the identification symbol 70.

2) First Image Displacement Effect Various effects are executed as a notification effect for notifying the result of the determination of the appropriateness (the effect from the start of the change of the identification symbol 70 to the stop indicating the combination indicating the result of the appropriateness determination). In the present embodiment, as one type of the effect, a first image displacement effect (formally “first” is added to distinguish from a second image displacement effect and a third image displacement effect, which will be described later. (Also commonly referred to as "shake effect"). That is, the first image displacement effect can be generated as a part of a series of effects for notifying the result of the determination as to whether the target is correct. Hereinafter, the first image displacement effect will be described in detail. Unless otherwise specified, the term “image” (the reference image 20 or the like) in the following description includes both a still image and a moving image.

  The basic mode of the first image displacement effect is that the reference image 20 is displayed on the display area 11 of the display device 10 from the first state (the state shown in FIG. 3A). 20 is displaced to a second state (a state shown in FIG. 3B) displayed as if it has shifted. The reference image 20 is an image displayed on the display area 11 in the first state. In the present embodiment, an image displayed on the entire display area 11 in the first state is set as the reference image 20. However, only a part of the image displayed in the display area 11 in the first state may be displaced as the reference image 20. The reference image 20 may be either a still image or a moving image, but the content of the image represented by the reference image 20 is maintained in a manner that can be identified by the player from the first state to the second state (however, as described later) In addition, a part representing the identification symbol 70 is excluded).

  Various displacement modes of the reference image 20 with respect to the display area 11 are conceivable. In the present embodiment, a display (three-dimensionally displaced) as if the reference image 20 was displaced so as to be inclined with respect to a planar direction (a direction along the display area 11 of the display device 10; the same applies hereinafter). Is displayed. More specifically, in the present embodiment, a display as if the reference image 20 was rotated such that the left edge of the reference image 20 is on the back side and the right edge of the reference image 20 is on the front side. (See FIGS. 3A and 3B). However, such a displacement mode is merely an example. A display may be made as if the reference image 20 was displaced along the plane direction (in any of up, down, left and right directions) (a display as if it was displaced two-dimensionally). A display may be made as if the 20 were displaced to the back (rear). Further, an aspect (for example, an aspect in which the reference image 20 fluctuates) as if the displacement amount of the reference image 20 changes with time may be adopted. Further, a mode in which the contour shape of the reference image 20 changes (for example, a mode in which the contour of the reference image 20 is distorted) may be adopted. In addition, a mode may be adopted in which a part of the reference image 20 is positioned outside the display area 11 due to the displacement of the reference image 20 (a mode in which a part is cut off). In addition, when the first image displacement effect is finished, the effect may be such that the reference image 20 returns to the original state again, or the state shifts to a state in which the reference image 20 does not return to the original state and a completely different image is displayed. It is good also as the production form which is good.

  In the second state of the first image displacement effect, a frame image 30 along the outer edge of the reference image 20 is displayed (see FIG. 3B). The frame image 30 indicates a portion corresponding to the outer edge of the display area 11 in the first state. In the present embodiment, the frame image 30 is not displayed in the first state. That is, since the first image displacement effect is an effect in which the reference image 20 is displayed as if it were shifted with respect to the display area 11, the frame image 30 is displayed in the second state in order to express the shift. . The player has an impression that the outer edge of the display area 11 in the first state has shifted to a position displayed as the frame image 30 in the second state. Since the display area 11 has a roughly rectangular shape when viewed roughly, if the first image displacement effect in which the reference image 20 is three-dimensionally displaced as in the present embodiment, the frame image 30 in the second state is displayed. Is a mode (approximately parallelogram in plan view) that looks like a square in three-dimensional expression. In the present embodiment, from the first state to the second state, the frame image 30 changes its shape so as to gradually move away from the outer edge of the display area 11, and finally reaches a state as illustrated. Note that the frame image 30 may not be displayed at all. In such a configuration, the “frame image 30” includes an image displayed as if the image is displaced from the display area 11 (a background image 22 described later in this embodiment) and a boundary between other portions. Shall be

  The reference image 20 includes an identification symbol 70. Specifically, the reference image 20 includes at least the identification symbol 70 and the background image 22 displayed as its background (see FIG. 3A). If the image layer for displaying the identification pattern 70 and the image layer for displaying the background image 22 are different layers, and the former layer is set before the latter layer, the background image as the background of the identification pattern 70 The mode in which 22 is displayed can be constructed. Hereinafter, a portion representing the identification symbol 70 (three identification symbols 70) in the reference image 20 is referred to as a specific image 21. When transitioning from the first state to the second state, at least a portion corresponding to the background image 22 is displayed as if it were three-dimensionally displaced with respect to the display area 11, and around the background image 22. The frame image 30 is displayed. Due to such a change, the player receives an impression that the image displayed in the first state is shifted with respect to the display area 11.

  Here, in the second state, the relative relationship between the specific image 21 and the frame image 30 is different from the relative relationship between the specific image 21 and the outer edge of the display area 11 in the first state. In other words, it is different from the display mode (virtual display mode) in the second state when it is assumed that the entire reference image 20 including the specific image 21 displayed in the first state is displaced with respect to the display area 11 as it is. That is, the relative relationship between the specific image 21 and the frame image 30 which are seen in FIG.

  In the first state, the specific image 21 is within the display area 11 (see FIG. 3A). That is, the whole of the specific image 21 is located inside the outer edge of the display area 11. On the other hand, in the state in which the frame image 30 which is a portion corresponding to the outer edge of the display area 11 in the first state is displayed in the display area 11 after the transition from the first state to the second state, the specific image 21 is displayed so as to protrude from the frame image 30 (see FIG. 3B). In other words, by transitioning from the first state to the second state, the frame image 30 is displayed to show an aspect as if the background image 22 was three-dimensionally displaced with respect to the display area 11. The relative position relationship between the frame image 30 and the specific image 21 (the identification symbol 70) is not maintained, and the specific image 21 is set to protrude from the frame image 30. The area outside the frame image 30 in the second state is an area generated by the displacement of the reference image 20 with respect to the display area 11 (hereinafter, also referred to as an outer area 11s). In such a manner that a part of the specific image 21 is displayed.

  In the present embodiment, the state in which the identification symbol 70 has changed is maintained through the first image displacement effect (even when the state changes from the first state to the second state). At least when the first image displacement effect is executed, the variation pattern of the identification symbol 70 is such that the identification symbol 70 constituting each identification symbol group 70g rotates at a predetermined position, and the type of the identification symbol 70 is changed each time the symbol is rotated. It is a mode that changes. Such an identification symbol 70 is displayed as the specific image 21 so as to fluctuate (rotate) in a state protruding from the frame image 30 in the second state (see FIG. 3B). In the present embodiment, a part of the left identification symbol 70 (the left identification symbol group 70gR) and a part of the right identification symbol 70 (the right identification symbol group 70gR) protrude from the frame image 30.

  In the present embodiment, the size of the specific image 21 relative to the frame image 30 in the second state is larger than the size of the specific image 21 relative to the outer edge of the display area 11 in the first state. By being set, at least a part of the specific image 21 is displayed so as to protrude from the frame image 30 in the second state. In other words, the amount by which the specific image 21 changes from the first state to the second state is smaller than the amount by which the outer edge of the display area 11 in the first state changes as the frame image 30 in the second state. In a second state, it can be said that a part of the specific image 21 protrudes from the frame image 30.

  Thereafter (after the second state), display is performed such that the frame image 30 gradually increases (approaches the outer edge of the display area 11), and finally, the frame image 30 is not displayed. In other words, the display as if the frame image 30 has returned to the “outer edge of the display area 11” ends the state in which the image is displayed as if the image has shifted with respect to the display area 11. At the same time, the entirety of the specific image 21 (identification symbol 70) is displayed in the display area 11. In the present embodiment, the change of the identification symbol 70 stops at this time. That is, the control is performed so that the combination of the identification symbols 70 indicating the result of the success / failure determination is displayed almost simultaneously with the end of the first image displacement effect and the state where the frame image 30 is not displayed. That is, the first image displacement effect according to the present embodiment is started immediately before indicating the combination of the identification symbols 70 indicating the result of the determination of success / failure, and substantially at the same time as the end of the first image displacement effect (the jackpot or the big hit). (A combination indicating a loss) (see FIGS. 3 (c-1) and (c-2)).

  It should be noted that the combination of the identification symbols 70 indicating the success / failure determination result is not shown after the end of the first image displacement effect, but what is called a chance after the end of the first image displacement effect (the occurrence of an event advantageous to the player, Or a combination that indicates that the probability of occurrence of a special event has increased. Further, each of the identification symbols 70 shown after the end of the image displacement effect is a pseudo stop (a mode in which the symbols are not completely stopped but appear to be stopped by the player. For example, each of the identification symbols 70 slightly shakes) May be in a state of being in a state of being).

  As described above, in the first image displacement effect in the present embodiment, in order to give the player an impression as if the reference image 20 is displaced with respect to the display area 11, the display in the first state is performed in the second state. A frame image 30 which is a portion corresponding to "the outer edge of the area 11" is displayed. On the premise of such a configuration, the specific image 21 that is entirely displayed inside the outer edge of the display area 11 in the first state is displayed so as to partially protrude in the second state. By doing so, as a result of “image shift” with respect to the display area 11, a part of the image (specific image 21) displayed in the first state is smaller than the display area 11 (frame image 30). It is possible to provide an entertaining presentation mode that gives the player an impression as if it has grown.

  Hereinafter, specific examples in which the first image displacement effect in the above embodiment is improved, embodied, deformed, and the like will be described. As far as possible, a configuration in which a plurality of techniques described using the following specific examples are applied may be adopted.

○ First Specific Example In the first image displacement effect in the above-described embodiment, it has been described that the identification symbol 70 indicating the result of the success / failure determination is set as the specific image 21, but other images are set as the specific image 21. It is also possible. Any image may be set as the specific image 21 as long as the image constitutes the reference image 20 displayed in the first state.

  For example, it is assumed that a certain character displayed in the first state is set as the specific image 21 and a background image 22 is displayed as its background (see FIG. 4A). At the time of transition to the second state, it is assumed that a display is made as if a part of the image of the character protruded from the frame image 30 (the image around the background image 22) (see FIG. 4B). In this way, in the first state, the character smaller than the display area 11 (the entire character is displayed in the display area 11) is shifted to the second state, so that the display area 11 (frame image 30) It is possible to give the player an impression as if it has become larger.

O Second specific example In the above-described embodiment, it has been described that when the second state is entered, a display in which a part of the specific image 21 protrudes outside the frame image 30 is performed. May be displayed outside the frame image 30. In other words, a mode is adopted in which the entirety of the specific image 21 is displayed in the outer region 11s generated by performing display as if the reference image 20 was displaced with respect to the display region 11 (see FIG. 5B )reference).

  By doing so, it is possible to give the player an impression as if the specific image 21 has moved out of the display area 11. That is, since the frame image 30 in the second state can be said to be a virtual representation of the outer edge of the display area 11, the specific image 21 is displayed outside the frame image 30 in the first state. It is possible to give the impression that the specific image 21 displayed in the display area 11 has moved to the outside of the display area 11 by transitioning to the second state.

Third Specific Example In the above-described embodiment, it has been described that when the second state is entered, a display in which a part of the specific image 21 protrudes outside the frame image 30 is performed. May be displayed inside the frame image 30. If the relative relationship between the specific image 21 and the outer edge of the display area 11 in the first state and the relative relationship between the frame image 30 of the specific image 21 in the second state appear different to the player. Good.

  For example, the closeness (the sense of distance) between the specific image 21 and the frame image 30 in the second state is smaller than the closeness (the sense of distance) between the specific image 21 and the outer edge of the display area 11 in the first state (see FIG. 6A). (See FIG. 6 (b)) so as to appear to be smaller, so that the transition from the first state to the second state gives the player the impression that the specific image 21 has become larger. Is possible.

○ Fourth specific example In a configuration in which the identification symbol 70 is set as the specific image 21, it is assumed that a first image displacement effect is generated as an effect for changing the combination mode of the identification symbol 70. For example, it is assumed that in the first state, the fluctuation of each of the identification symbol groups 70g is pseudo stopped, and the identification symbol 70 is shown in a certain combination (prior combination) (see FIG. 7A). Thereafter, the state transitions to the second state, in which a part of the identification symbol 70 that is the specific image 21 protrudes from the frame image 30 and each identification symbol group 70g starts to change again (FIG. 7B). reference). Then, a display is made such that the frame image 30 becomes gradually larger (approaching the outer edge of the display area 11), and finally the frame image 30 is not displayed. The combination (post-combination) of the identification symbols 70 displayed at this time can be changed from the above-mentioned pre-combination (may be changed, may change, or may not change). (See FIG. 7C).

  The change from the pre-combination to the post-combination is preferably advantageous for the player. In other words, the post-combination should preferably indicate that an advantageous event has occurred for the player, or that the probability that the advantageous event has occurred has increased. As an example, a change from a pre-combination indicating a loss to a post-combination indicating a jackpot (a change from FIG. 7A to FIG. 7C) may be given as an example. Although not shown, as another example, a combination indicating that a certain jackpot (eg, a gaming state after the end of the jackpot game becomes a low-probability gaming state in which the probability of winning the winning / non-selection lottery is low) is determined from the combination A combination that indicates that a player has won another jackpot (for example, a jackpot in which the gaming state after the jackpot game ends is a high-probability gaming state in which the probability of winning in the winning / non-winning lottery is high) in which the profit that the player enjoys is greater than a certain jackpot. To change. Further, although not shown, another example is a change from a pre-combination to a post-combination indicating the occurrence of a known continuous production (pseudo continuous production or look-ahead continuous production).

3) Second Image Displacement Effect Hereinafter, the second image displacement effect (formally given “second” to distinguish it from the first image displacement effect described above and the third image displacement effect described later) will be described. The second image displacement effect is the same as the first image displacement effect in that the second image displacement effect is displayed as if the reference image 20 was displaced with respect to the display area 11. The second image displacement effect is an effect using the movable unit 40 to make the displacement of the reference image 20 easy to understand. In the first image displacement effect, an event as described in the following second image displacement effect may occur.

  The movable unit 40 (see FIG. 8) has a plurality of movable parts 41. The movable unit 40 in the present embodiment has a total of four movable parts 41. Two movable parts 41 are respectively arranged on the upper side and the lower side of the display area 11. The movable part 41 provided on the upper left is the upper left movable part 411, the movable part 41 provided on the upper right is the upper right movable part 412, the movable part 41 provided on the lower left is the lower left movable part 413, The movable portion 41 provided on the right side of the side is referred to as a lower right movable portion 414. These movable portions 41 can slide between an original position (shown by a dotted line in FIG. 8) and an advanced position (shown by a solid line in FIG. 8) along the plane direction of the display area 11. Since the structure for operating each movable portion 41 may be any structure, the description is omitted. The structure for operating each movable portion 41 may be separately configured (the unit may be different). For example, the upper left movable unit 411, the upper right movable unit 412, and the structure for driving the same are one unit, and the lower left movable unit 413, the lower right movable unit 414, and the structure for driving the same are one unit. A configuration may be adopted (a plurality of units are collectively referred to as a movable unit 40).

  Each movable portion 41 has a larger area exposed through the opening 901 formed in the game board 90 when located at the advanced position than when located at the original position. In other words, the range where each movable portion 41 overlaps the display area 11 in the front-rear direction when located at the advance position is larger than when located at the original position. In the present embodiment, the movable portion 41 located at the original position is completely covered by the game board 90, and the movable portion 41 located at the original position can be visually recognized unless the back side of the game board 90 is peeped. Can not. The upper left movable section 411 and the upper right movable section 412 slide downward from the original position to reach the advanced position. The upper left movable section 411 located at the advance position covers a part of the upper left of the display area 11. The upper right movable section 412 located at the advanced position covers a part of the upper right of the display area 11. The lower left movable section 413 and the lower right movable section 414 slide upward from the original position to reach the advanced position. The lower left movable portion 413 located at the advance position covers a part of the lower left of the display area 11. The lower right movable part 414 located at the advance position covers a part of the lower right of the display area 11.

  It is assumed that a plurality of types of effect forms having different modes (outer edge shapes) of the reference image 20 in the second state are set. In the present embodiment, a first mode (see FIG. 9A) and a second mode (see FIG. 9B) in which the shape of the frame image 30 in the second state is different are set (in each case, the reference image 20). This is a mode in which it looks as if three-dimensionally displaced with respect to the display area 11). The frame image 30 of the first embodiment has a substantially parallelogram shape in which the upper and lower sides are inclined upward from left to right. The frame image 30 of the second embodiment has a substantially parallelogram shape in which the upper and lower sides are inclined downward from left to right. In each of the drawings for explaining the second image displacement effect, only the frame image 30 is shown, and the form of the image inside the frame image 30 is omitted.

  When the frame image 30 of the first mode is displayed in the second state, the upper left movable section 411 and the lower right movable section 414 are located at the advanced positions. The upper right movable section 412 and the lower left movable section 413 remain at the original position. The upper left movable portion 411 and the lower right movable portion 414 overlap with the outer region 11s generated by displaying the reference image 20 as if it were displaced with respect to the display region 11 (see FIG. 9A). By doing so, the reference image 20 (frame image 30) appears to be deformed by being pushed by the upper left movable unit 411 and the lower right movable unit 414.

  On the other hand, when the frame image 30 of the second mode is displayed in the second state, the upper right movable section 412 and the lower left movable section 413 are located at the advanced positions. The upper left movable section 411 and the lower right movable section 414 remain at the original position. The upper right movable section 412 and the lower left movable section 413 overlap with the outer area 11 s generated by the display as if the reference image 20 was displaced with respect to the display area 11 (see FIG. 9B). By doing so, the reference image 20 (frame image 30) appears to be deformed by being pushed by the upper right movable unit 412 and the lower left movable unit 413.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, some of the movable portions 41 advance so as to overlap the outer region 11s of the frame image 30 (hereinafter, the movable portion 41 located at the advanced position in the second state is referred to as the target movable portion 41S). Sometimes referred to as). As a result, the reference image 20 (frame image 30) looks as if it were displaced (deformed) by being pushed by the target movable portion 41S. That is, the displacement of the reference image 20 (frame image 30) with respect to the display area 11 is emphasized by the target movable unit 41S, and the occurrence of the image displacement effect is easily understood.

  Further, the target movable section 41S may be made different depending on the form of the frame image 30 in the second state. In the present embodiment, when the frame image 30 is in the first mode, the upper left movable section 411 and the lower right movable section 414 are the target movable section 41S, and when the frame image 30 is in the second mode, the upper right movable section 412 and the lower left The movable section 413 is the target movable section 41S. In this manner, the movable section 41 located at the advanced position is made different depending on the mode of displacement (deformation) of the frame image 30 with respect to the display area 11 (one or a plurality of movable sections 41 as the target movable section 41S is completely By avoiding coincidence), the difference in the mode of displacement (deformation) of the frame image 30 is emphasized.

  In particular, if the frame image 30 has a substantially parallelogram shape as in the present embodiment, the combination of the target movable portions 41S is a combination of the diagonal movable portions 41 (“the upper right movable portion 412 and the upper right movable portion 412”). The lower left movable section 413 or the combination of the upper left movable section 411 and the lower right movable section 414) as if the frame image 30 (display area 11) was deformed by the movable section 41 into a substantially parallelogram shape. It is a production mode that gives an impression.

  Hereinafter, specific examples in which the second image displacement effect in the above embodiment is improved, embodied, deformed, and the like will be described. As far as possible, a configuration in which a plurality of techniques described using the following specific examples are applied may be adopted.

First Specific Example The relationship between the form of the frame image 30 in the second state and the movable portion 41 that is the target movable portion 41S can be variously conceived other than those described in the above embodiment. Basically, it is assumed that the movable section 41 to be the target movable section 41S is set according to the form of the frame image 30 (the shape of the outer region 11s). The display area 11 is roughly divided into four parts, such as upper left, upper right, lower left, and lower right, and the movable section 41 corresponding to the location where the size of the outer area 11s is increased is set as the target movable section 41S. The possible modes are listed below.

  As shown in FIG. 10A, in the case where the reference image 20 is in an effect mode as if displaced downward with respect to the display area 11 (in the second state, the upper edge of the display area 11 is bordered by the frame image 30). In this case, the upper left movable section 411 and the upper right movable section 412 are set as the target movable sections 41S. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 10B, when the reference image 20 is in an effect mode as if displaced upward with respect to the display area 11 (in the second state, the lower edge of the display area 11 is In the case of an effect as if displayed as the frame image 30), the lower left movable section 413 and the lower right movable section 414 are set as the target movable sections 41S. In this way, the movable portion 41 set as the target movable portion 41S can give an impression as if the reference image 20 (frame image 30) was pushed downward or upward and displaced. .

  As shown in FIG. 10C, when the reference image 20 is in an effect mode as if displaced rearward (backward), all the movable parts 41 are set as the target movable parts 41S. That is, the upper left movable section 411, the upper right movable section 412, the lower left movable section 413, and the lower right movable section 414 are located at the advanced position. By doing so, it is possible to give an impression as if the reference image 20 was pushed inward and displaced by all the movable parts 41.

  As in the example shown in FIGS. 10A to 10C, the upper edge and the lower edge of the frame image 30 are displayed substantially parallel to the upper edge and the lower edge of the display area 11. Since the mode is such that the reference image 20 is displaced in a direction substantially perpendicular to the upper edge and the lower edge of the display area 11, the upper movable section 41 (the upper left movable section 411, the upper right movable section 412). And both the lower movable portion 41 (lower left movable portion 413 and lower right movable portion 414) may be collectively positioned at the advanced position.

  As shown in FIG. 11, when the reference image 20 is in an effect mode in which the reference image 20 is obliquely inclined with respect to the display area 11, only one of the plurality of movable parts 41 is set as the target movable part 41S. . By doing so, it is possible to give the impression that the reference image 20 is inclined obliquely by the target movable portion 41S.

  As in the above embodiment (FIG. 9) and the example shown in FIG. 11, the upper edge and the lower edge of the frame image 30 are displayed in a state of being inclined with respect to the upper edge and the lower edge of the display area 11. In such a case, one of the upper movable part 41 (the upper left movable part 411 and the upper right movable part 412) and one of the lower movable part 41 (the lower left movable part 413 and the lower right movable part 414) are connected. The reference image 20 may be positioned at the advanced position to give an impression as if the reference image 20 was tilted by being pushed by the movable portion 41 positioned at the advanced position.

Second Specific Example Although the movable unit 40 in the above-described embodiment has a plurality of movable parts 41, it may be configured to have only one movable part 41. When the displacement of the reference image 20 occurs (in the second state), the one movable portion 41 is positioned at the advanced position so that the displacement of the reference image 20 is emphasized.

Third Specific Example Although it has been described that the movable unit 40 in the above embodiment has two movable parts 41 on the upper side of the display area 11 and two movable parts 41 on the lower side, The mode of arrangement is merely an example. A configuration in which one movable section 41 is provided above and below the display area 11 may be used, or a configuration in which three or more movable sections 41 are provided above and below the display area 11 may be used. . Further, one or a plurality of movable parts 41 may be provided on the left and right sides of the display area 11. One or more movable parts 41 may be arranged in accordance with the form of the frame image 30 (the shape of the outer region 11s) in the second state.

Fourth Specific Example Although the movable portion 41 in the above embodiment is configured to reciprocate between the original position and the advanced position, a configuration in which a plurality of positions are set as the advanced positions of the movable portion 41 is described. It may be. For example, as described in the above-described embodiment, in the configuration in which the movable unit 40 has four upper left movable parts 411, upper right movable parts 412, lower left movable parts 413, and lower right movable parts 414, each movable part 41 Can be located at a first advance position displaced from the original position toward the center of the display area 11 by a predetermined amount, and at a second advance position further displaced toward the center of the display area 11 from the first advance position. And That is, it is assumed that each movable portion 41 can be located at a plurality of advance positions where the amount of projection toward the center of the display area 11 is different.

  As shown in FIG. 12A, when the frame image 30 is in the first mode A, the upper left movable section 411 and the lower right movable section 414 are positioned at the first advance position. As shown in FIG. 12B, the first mode B (the amount of displacement from the outer edge of the display area 11 of the frame image 30 compared to the first mode A) in which the frame image 30 is displaced (deformed) more than the first mode A In this case, the upper left movable portion 411 and the lower right movable portion 414 are located at the second advance position. That is, the advance position of the target movable unit 41S is changed in accordance with the displacement (deformation) of the frame image 30 with respect to the display area 11. It can also be said that the form of the frame image 30 is controlled so as to be different according to the advance position of the target movable portion 41S.

  As described above, a plurality of positions are set as the advance positions of the movable portion 41, and the advance position is controlled in accordance with the displacement (deformation) of the frame image 30 with respect to the display area 11, whereby the frame image 30 is movable. It is possible to improve the effect of giving an impression as if deformed by the part 41.

4) Use of image displacement effects in battle effects (third image displacement effects)
Hereinafter, the third image displacement effect (formally given “third” to distinguish it from the first image displacement effect and the second image displacement effect described above) will be described. The third image displacement effect is the same as the first image displacement effect and the second image displacement effect in that the third image displacement effect is displayed as if the reference image 20 was displaced with respect to the display area 11. . The third image effect occurs during a so-called “battle effect”.

  The battle effect (see FIG. 13) is advantageous to the player when the ally character 50 and the enemy character 51 fight and the ally character 50 ends in victory (hereinafter sometimes referred to as a victory ending). Events occur. In the present embodiment, when the victory ends (see FIG. 13 (c-1)), it is determined that the target hit / fail judgment result is a jackpot (a jackpot is notified). On the other hand, when the ally character 50 is defeated (the enemy character 51 wins) (hereinafter sometimes referred to as a defeat ending) (see FIG. 13 (c-2), the target right / wrong judgment is made). The result is determined to be incorrect.

  In the battle effect, an attack effect (specific effect) indicating that the ally character 50 attacks the enemy character 51 is executed. A plurality of types of attack effects are set as candidates that can be executed as the attack effect. In the present embodiment, there are two types of first attack effect (first specific effect) (see FIG. 13 (b-1)) and second attack effect (second specific effect) (see FIG. 13 (b-2)). Is set. The first attack production and the second attack production have different “strength of attack” of the ally character 50. The second attack effect indicates that the attack by the teammate character 50 is stronger than the first attack effect. The first attack effect indicates a so-called "weak attack", and the second attack effect indicates a so-called "strong attack". In the battle effect, one of the first attack effect and the second attack effect occurs during a predetermined period. Since the attack strength of the ally character 50 is “second attack effect> first attack effect”, the first attack effect occurs when the second attack effect occurs during the period. As compared with the case, the probability of reaching the victory ending is set to be higher (that is, the probability that the determination result is a big hit (big hit reliability) is set higher).

  The basic mode of an image displayed during the first attack effect (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as a first attack image 501) and the image displayed during the second attack effect (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as a second attack image 502) The basic aspects of ()) are different. In other words, a display is made such that it is possible to recognize that the ally character 50 attacks the enemy character 51 differently (one is a weak attack and the other is a strong attack). For example, a character indicating the content of the attack is displayed (see FIGS. 13 (b-1) and (b-2)).

  As described above, although the basic modes of the first attack image 501 and the second attack image 502 are different, any of the present effects is the only effect that is currently occurring only by such a difference in the basic mode of the image. There is a possibility that the player does not know whether it is a weak attack or a strong attack. Based on this, in the present embodiment, an image displacement effect is not generated during the first attack effect (see FIG. 13 (b-1)), and an image displacement effect is generated during the second attack effect (see FIG. 13 (b-2)). )) (Assuming that the image displacement effect at the time of the second attack effect is a third image displacement effect). That is, the first attack effect is an effect that does not displace the first attack image 501 with respect to the display area 11 (does not “shake”), while the second attack effect is that the second attack image 502 is set as the reference image 20. This is an effect in which the second attack image 502 is displayed as if displaced with respect to the display area 11 (“shake”).

  The image displacement effect is such that the image displayed in the display area 11 is displaced with respect to the display area 11 due to the application of some force. It is possible to give the player the impression of shaking. Therefore, it is possible to clearly show that the second attack effect is a so-called “strong attack”.

  Hereinafter, specific examples in which the third image displacement effect (battle effect) in the above embodiment is improved, embodied, or modified will be described. As far as possible, a configuration in which a plurality of techniques described using the following specific examples are applied may be adopted.

First Specific Example Although it has been described that the third image displacement effect in the above embodiment can occur as a part of the battle effect, the third image displacement effect can be used other than the battle effect. That is, during a certain period, an effect in which the first image 521 is displayed in the display area 11 (first specific effect), and an effect in which a second image 522 different from the first image 521 is displayed in the display area 11. In any of the effects (second specific effects) indicating that the jackpot reliability is higher than when the first specific effect occurs, the image displacement occurs when the first specific effect occurs. An effect may not be generated, and an image displacement effect may be generated (a third image displacement effect is generated) when the second specific effect is generated.

  An example of such an effect is a so-called “selection effect” (see FIG. 14). In the effect that one of the first image 521 and the second image 522 is selected and shown to the player, the first image 521 is displayed in order to indicate that the selection of the second image 522 is a so-called chance up. When selected, an image displacement effect does not occur (see FIG. 14 (b-1)), and when the second image 522 is selected, an image displacement effect occurs (see FIG. 14 (b-2)). .

O Second specific example In the above embodiment, two types of attack effects (specific effects), a first attack effect (first specific effects) and a second attack effect (second specific effects), have been described. However, three or more types of attack effects (specific effects) may be set.

  In the case of such a configuration, the image displacement effect (third image displacement effect) is set to occur when an attack effect having the highest jackpot reliability when it occurs is executed among three or more types of attack effects. It is conceivable that this was done. By doing so, there is an advantage that the difference between the attack presentation that is most pleasing to the player and the other attack presentation can be easily understood. On the other hand, among the N (N ≧ 3) attack productions, the image displacement production is performed when any of the M (M <N) attack productions is counted from the one with the highest jackpot reliability. (Third image displacement effect) may be set. By doing so, it is possible to clearly show that the occurrence of the image displacement effect indicates the jackpot reliability of a certain level or more.

○ Third specific example In the above embodiment, no image displacement effect occurs during the first attack effect (first specific effect), and image displacement effect (third image displacement effect) during the second attack effect (second specific effect). Has been described so as to occur, but it is assumed that an image displacement effect is generated at any of the attack effects, and the displacement mode of the reference image 20 (attack image) at each of the attack effects is different. I do.

  Specifically, rather than the magnitude of the displacement (shift) of the first attack image 501 with respect to the display area 11 during the first attack effect (see FIG. The displacement (shift) of the second attack image 502 is set to be large (see FIG. 15B). In other words, the displacement of the attack image (the reference image 20) with respect to the display area 11 is larger (is greatly shaken) in an attack effect with a relatively high jackpot reliability than in an attack effect with a low jackpot reliability. Set to make it easy to understand that there is a difference in jackpot reliability.

  The matter described in this example can be applied to a configuration (second specific example) in which three or more types of attack effects (specific effects) are set. For example, in a configuration in which the first attack effect (lowest hit reliability), the second attack effect, and the third attack effect (lowest hit reliability) are set, an image displacement effect is produced during the first attack effect. Does not occur (see FIG. 16A), and an image displacement effect is generated at the time of the second attack effect and the third attack effect (see FIGS. 16B and 16C). Then, the magnitude of the displacement (shift) of the reference image 20 (the second attack image 502) with respect to the display area 11 at the time of the second attack effect is smaller than the magnitude of the displacement (deviation) (see FIG. 16B). The magnitude (see FIG. 16C) of the displacement (shift) of the reference image 20 (third attack image 503) with respect to is set to be large.

○ Fourth Specific Example In the above-described embodiment, the image displacement effect (third image displacement effect) can be generated at the time of an attack effect indicating that the ally character 50 is attacking. An image displacement effect may be generated at the time of an effect indicating that the character 51 is attacking (hereinafter, also referred to as a defensive effect) (see FIG. 17). In one battle effect, both the above-described attack effect and defensive effect may be generated, or only one of the attack effects and the defensive effect may be generated.

  Two types of defensive effects, a first defensive effect (first specific effect) (see FIG. 17 (b-1)) and a second defensive effect (second specific effect) (see FIG. 17 (b-2)) are set. It is assumed that The first defense effect and the second defense effect differ in the “strength of attack” of the enemy character 51. It is assumed that the second defense effect indicates that the attack by the enemy character 51 is stronger than the first defense effect. In the battle effect, the victory of the ally character 50 is set as the success ending, so the jackpot reliability when the first defense effect occurs is larger than the jackpot reliability when the second defense effect occurs. It can be said that it is higher than degree. In other words, the relationship between the level of the jackpot reliability of the first defense effect and the second defense effect (see FIGS. 17 (b-1) and (b-2)) is based on the first attack effect and the second attack effect described in the above embodiment. This is opposite to the relationship between the level of the jackpot reliability of the attack effect (see FIGS. 13 (b-1) and (b-2)).

  Under such conditions, when the first defense effect is executed, the image displacement effect does not occur (see FIG. 17 (b-1)), but when the second defense effect is executed, the image displacement effect occurs ( FIG. 17B-2). By doing so, it is possible to clearly indicate that the attack of the enemy character 51 during the second defense effect is a so-called “strong attack”. Speaking of the jackpot reliability, in the attack mode, an image displacement effect has a higher jackpot reliability, and in a defensive effect, an image displacement effect has a lower jackpot reliability.

  When both an attack effect and a defensive effect occur in one battle effect, contrary to the above aspect, when the second defensive effect is performed, the image displacement effect does not occur, but the first defensive effect is executed. When the image is displayed, an image displacement effect may be generated. In this way, in both the attack effect and the defensive effect, the image hitting effect is set to have a higher jackpot reliability (increased chance) when the image displacement effect is generated. There is an advantage that it is easy.

5) Battle notice effect It is assumed that the battle notice effect occurs before the battle effect in which the ally character 50 and the enemy character 51 fight occurs (see FIG. 18). The battle announcement effect is an effect that suggests in advance what kind of character fights in the battle effect. In the battle announcement effect in the present embodiment, the type of the enemy character 51 fighting in the battle effect is announced. The mode of the notice in the battle notice effect may be any. A plurality of notice modes may be set. In the present embodiment, after the silhouette S of the enemy character 51 is displayed (see FIG. 18A), the character represented by the silhouette S is clarified (see FIG. 18B), so that a battle effect is obtained. A battle announcement effect is displayed in which the type of the enemy character 51 that fights is indicated. In the following description, the character notified in the battle notification effect may be referred to as “notification character 60”.

  The ally character 50 appearing in the battle effect is assumed to be the character A (see FIG. 18C). That is, when the character A battles the character appearing as the enemy character 51 and wins, it is determined that the result of the hit determination is a big hit.

  It is assumed that three characters, character X, character Y, and character Z, are set as the enemy characters 51 that may appear in the battle effect. Basically, any one of the three characters appears in the battle effect. Therefore, in the battle announcement effect, it is normal (normal mode) that any one of the three characters is indicated as the “announcement character 60” (see FIG. 18B).

  On the other hand, as a special notice mode (hereinafter, also referred to as a special mode) based on the battle notice effect (see FIG. 19), a mode in which the character A is indicated as the “notify character 60” may occur. As described above, the character A is a character that appears as the ally character 50 in the battle effect. In other words, the character A, which is the same kind of character as the ally character 50, may be suggested as the enemy character 51 appearing in the battle effect by the battle announcement effect (see FIG. 19B).

  Due to the nature of "battle production", it is not normal that the characters to be fighted are of the same kind. For this reason, such an unusual character generates a special mode suggested as the advance notice character 60 in the battle announcement effect, so that the player can be surprised. In the present embodiment, it is indicated that the ally side character 50 is the character A before the battle effect is started (for example, in a situation before the battle effect occurs, the ally side character 50 is the character A). An effect and an image (see upper right of FIGS. 18A and 19A) are executed as if the side character 50 is the character A). Therefore, when the character A is indicated as the notice character 60 in the battle notice effect, the player can easily grasp that the character A is the same kind of character as the friend character 50.

  When the battle announcement effect is in a special mode, it is determined that the battle effect (see FIG. 19C) that occurs thereafter will be the victory ending. In the present embodiment, the fact that the battle effect is a victory ending determines that the result of the determination is a jackpot. Therefore, the fact that the battle announcement effect is a special mode is an effect in which the jackpot is determined (a so-called premium). Directing).

  In the present embodiment, even if the notice character 60 is indicated to be the character A in the battle notice effect, the enemy character 51 appearing in the battle effect that occurs thereafter is a normal character (in this embodiment, One of the characters X to Z) (see FIG. 19C). The image in which the character A (the ally) and the character A (the enemy) fight has a sense of incongruity, and daringly preparing such an image leads to an increase in cost. You don't have to. Also, the fact that the notice character 60 becomes the character A in the battle notice effect is highly likely that a player with a good intuition will notice that it is a premium effect. There is no need to output. However, this does not deny the execution of the battle effect in which the character A (ally) and the character A (enemy) fight.

  Hereinafter, specific examples in which the battle notice effect (battle effect) in the above embodiment is improved, embodied, or modified will be described. As far as possible, a configuration in which a plurality of techniques described using the following specific examples are applied may be adopted.

〇First Specific Example When the battle announcement effect is in a special mode, the battle effect may not be executed and a special effect may be generated to notify that a big hit has occurred. As described above, since the battle announcement effect is a special mode, the jackpot is determined. Therefore, it is unnecessary to indicate a win or loss in the subsequent battle effect, and the battle effect may not be executed. . Even in a case where there is a case where such a battle effect does not occur, it is assumed that the battle announcement effect indicates a character (enemy character 51) appearing in the battle effect.

{Second Specific Example} It is assumed that a player can select the ally character 50 appearing in the battle effect from a plurality of types of characters. For example, it is assumed that a selection screen is displayed and the player can select a favorite character as the ally character 50 from the characters A1 and A2 (see FIG. 20A). In such a case, the special mode of the battle announcement effect differs depending on the character selected as the ally-side character 50. In other words, when the character A1 is selected as the ally-side character 50, the special feature of the battle announcement effect is that the notice character 60 becomes the character A1 in the battle announcement effect (see FIGS. 20B and 20C). . Although not shown, when the character A2 is selected as the ally-side character 50, the special character of the battle announcement effect is that the notice character 60 becomes the character A2 in the battle announcement effect. That is, for each character that can be selected as the ally-side character 50, it is preferable to prepare a specific mode of the corresponding battle announcement effect.

  On the other hand, when some characters are selected as the ally-side characters 50, the setting may be such that the specific mode of the battle announcement effect does not occur. According to the above example, when the character A1 is selected as the ally character 50, a battle announcement effect in which the character A1 becomes the preview character 60 occurs, but the character A2 is selected as the ally character 50. In this case, it is assumed that a battle announcement effect in which the character A2 becomes the announcement character 60 does not occur. In this way, it is possible to realize an interesting game in which whether or not a special battle announcement effect is generated depends on which character is selected as the ally-side character 50.

〇Third Specific Example Although it has been described that the battle announcement effect in the above embodiment is to notify the enemy character 51 appearing in the battle effect, the battle announcement effect causes the ally character 50 appearing in the battle effect to appear. It may be given a notice.

  It is assumed that a plurality of types of characters are set as characters that can appear as the ally character 50. In the battle announcement effect, any one of the plurality of characters is indicated as the announcement character 60. It is assumed that a special mode occurs in which the type of the notice character 60 and the type of the character set as the enemy character 51 are the same type of character.

具体 Fourth Specific Example Although it has been described that the battle announcement effect in the above-described embodiment is to announce the mode of the battle effect, the same technical idea can be applied to the effect other than the battle effect.

  It is assumed that the notice effect indicates the mode of the target effect. It is assumed that the target effect is one in which at least two effect elements are indicated. It is assumed that the effect elements are usually different from each other due to the character of the effect. Under such conditions, it is assumed that a suggestion (special zone type mode) may be made by the notice effect so that the effect elements appearing in the target effect are the same. In other words, under the condition that the two production elements shown in the target production are not considered to be the same in the target production, it is suggested that the two production elements are the same in the preliminary production And By doing so, it is possible to surprise the player by the special mode of the notice effect.

  As described above, the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.

  The gaming machine 1 according to the above-described embodiment is a so-called pachinko gaming machine, but the same technical idea is applied to other gaming machines such as a spinning-type gaming machine, except for matters utilizing a configuration peculiar to a pachinko gaming machine. It is possible.

  Specific means (gaming machines) obtained from the above embodiment are listed below.

-Means 1-1
