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

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

The game area 902 is provided with a display device 91, a starting area 904, a large winning opening 906, an out opening, and the like. The display area 911 of the display device 91 is a portion that can be visually recognized through the opening 901 formed in the game board 90. Further, in the game area 902, a plurality of game nails 10K are provided as obstacles that change the flow mode of the game balls when the flowing game balls collide with each other. The game ball flowing down the game area 902 changes in various modes depending on the conditions when it collides with the game nail 10K.

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

The components of the game machine 1 that are not related to the present invention, such as the frame of the game machine 1, the lower plate and the upper plate for storing the game balls, will not be described. As 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 winning a game ball in the starting area 904. In the present embodiment, as the starting area 904, a first starting area 904a (so-called “special drawing 1” starting area) and a second starting area 904b (so-called “special drawing 2” starting area) are provided. A numerical value (win / fail judgment information) is acquired from the random number source triggered by the winning of the game ball into the starting area 904, and if the numerical value is the same as the predetermined jackpot value, it becomes a jackpot, and if it is different, it is missed. It becomes. In the present embodiment, the notification of the hit / fail judgment result is started in the order in which the numerical value is acquired (so-called fluctuation is started), but there is the hit / miss judgment information for which the notification of the hit / miss judgment result has not been completed yet. In this case, the newly acquired hit / fail determination information is stored as hold information in a storage means provided on a control board (not shown). The fact that the hold information is stored in the storage means is displayed as the hold symbol 70.

In the present embodiment, as the reserved symbol 70, the notification effect for notifying the hit / fail judgment result (from the start of fluctuation of the identification symbol 80 (identification symbol group 80 g) to the complete stop with the combination showing the hit / fail judgment result, so-called one The variable pending symbol 71 (so-called "variable pending information") corresponding to the information (hereinafter, also referred to as "changing pending information") in which the notification of the hit / fail judgment result has not been completed although the effect of the variable middle portion has been started. A symbol indicating the existence of the "change hold") and a pre-change hold symbol 72 corresponding to information for which the notification effect for notifying the hit / fail judgment result has not been started (hereinafter, may be referred to as "pre-change hold information") are displayed. (See Fig. 2). In the present embodiment, the basic form of the variable pending symbol 71 and the pre-variable reserved symbol 72 is the same, and the variable pending symbol 71 is displayed larger than the pre-variable reserved symbol 72 in order to distinguish between the two. To. The basic forms of the pending symbol 71 during change and the pending symbol 72 before change may be completely different. Further, the variable pending symbol 71 may not be displayed.

An upper limit is set for the maximum number of stored information on hold before fluctuation. In the present embodiment, the maximum number of stored first pre-variation hold information (holding in FIG. 1) obtained by winning the first starting area 904a is four, and by winning the second starting area 904b. The maximum number of stored second pre-variation hold information (special figure 2 hold) that can be obtained is four. Therefore, with respect to the reserved symbol 70 corresponding to one of the special figure 1 and the special figure 2, one changing reserved symbol 71 and a maximum of four pre-changing reserved symbols 72 may be displayed (see FIG. 2). ..

In the present embodiment, similarly to the known gaming machine, the winning / failing determination result is notified to the player by the combination of the identification symbols 80 (see FIG. 2) displayed in the display area 911 of the display device 91. Specifically, the identification symbol group 80 g (left identification symbol group 80 gL, middle identification symbol group 80 gC, right identification symbol group 80 gR) including a plurality of types of identification symbols 80 starts to fluctuate, and finally each identification symbol group 80 g. One of the identification symbols 80 is selected and stopped. When the jackpot is won, the combination of the identification symbols 80 selected from each identification symbol group 80g and stopped is a predetermined combination (for example, three sets of the same identification symbols 80). If it is out of order, it will be a combination other than that (other than the combination that will be a big hit). The identification symbol 80 may be a combination of numbers and characters.

In some drawings other than FIG. 2, the reserved symbol 70 and the identification symbol 80 are omitted.

In the present embodiment, a normal game state and a special game state are set as the game state. The special gaming state is a gaming state that is more advantageous to the player than the normal gaming state. The normal gaming state is a low-probability gaming state in which the probability of winning a jackpot is low, and a low-base state (low probability, no time saving) in which it is difficult for a game ball to win a prize in the starting area 904. As the special gaming state, the first special gaming state and the second special gaming state are set. The first special game state is a high-probability game state in which the probability of winning a big hit is high, and a high-base state (high probability / time saving) in which a game ball is likely to win a prize in the starting area 904. The second special gaming state is a low-probability gaming state in which the probability of winning a big hit is low, and a high-base state (low probability / time saving) in which a game ball is likely to win in the starting area 904. In the normal gaming state, the player launches a gaming ball aiming at the first starting area 904a. In this embodiment, so-called "left-handed" is performed. In the special game state, the game ball is launched aiming at the second starting area 904b. In this embodiment, so-called "right-handed" is performed. Since the special gaming state is a state in which it is easy to win the open lottery of the second starting area 904b triggered by the entry of the game ball into the normal starting area 905, the game ball can be relatively easily placed in the second starting area 904b. Win a prize. Since any setting regarding the transition of the gaming state may be used, the description thereof will be omitted. In addition, the fact that the above-mentioned gaming state is set is just an example.

2) Protruding portion A protruding portion 21 included in the game machine 1 according to the present embodiment will be described. Various members (game member 10) with which the game ball can come into contact are fixed to the game board 90. As one of the members, a game nail 10K can be exemplified. The configuration of the game nail 10K itself is the same as that known. The game nail 10K projects from the front surface of the game board 90 toward the front (see FIG. 3).

On the front side of the game board 90, a transparent plate 20 made of a material (a colorless and transparent material in the present embodiment) that makes the game area 902 visible is provided (see FIG. 3). It can be said that the transparent plate 20 is a covering member that covers the game area 902. Further, it can be said that the transparent plate 20 is located so as to face the front surface of the game board 90. The transparent plate 20 is integrated with a known front frame, and the game area 902 is opened by rotating the front frame. Since the key for unlocking the front frame is managed by the game machine store, the player cannot insert his / her hand into the game area 902 without permission. Unless otherwise specified, the positional relationship of each part means that the transparent plate 20 (front frame) is located in the original position and the game area 902 is covered (closed). To do.

The protruding portion 21 is a part constituting the transparent plate 20. Specifically, it is a protrusion protruding rearward from the rear surface (the surface on the game area 902 side) of the transparent plate 20 (see FIG. 3). In the present embodiment, the protruding portion 21 is formed by being integrally molded with the main body portion of the transparent plate 20 (that is, formed of the same material), but the main body portion and the protruding portion 21 are formed separately, and the protruding portion is formed. 21 may be fixed to the main body portion. Since the protruding portion 21 is also a portion formed of a transparent material, the protruding portion 21 does not obscure the game area 902.

The protrusion 21 is located so as to be adjacent to a part of the game nail 10K on the tip end side. The protrusion 21 in the present embodiment is an annular protrusion, and the head (part of the tip side) of the game nail 10K is inserted inside the “ring”. That is, when viewed from the direction orthogonal to the front-rear direction, a part of the tip side of the game nail 10K and the protruding portion 21 overlap each other (see the right side of FIG. 3). In the present embodiment, the portion of the game nail 10K other than the head does not enter the inside of the protruding portion 21. Further, the head of the game nail 10K is circular, and the center of the head of the game nail 10K and the center of the "ring" of the protrusion 21 are set to substantially coincide with each other (the game nail 10K is the game board). It is perpendicular to the plane direction of 90 (when the central axis of the game nail 10K is along the front-rear direction) (see the left side of FIG. 3). When viewed from the front-rear direction, the distance between the outer edge of the game nail 10K (head) and the inner edge of the "ring" of the protruding portion 21 is preferably 1 mm or less. If the distance is made too small, the game nail 10K and the protruding portion 21 will come into contact with each other when the transparent plate 20 is rotated together with the front frame, so that a distance that does not cause such contact is secured.

By providing such a protruding portion 21, the misalignment of the game nail 10K is suppressed. Specifically, it is possible to prevent the game nail 10K from falling (tilting) more than necessary. That is, when the game nail 10K falls down by a predetermined amount, the game nail 10K and the protruding portion 21 come into contact with each other, so that the game nail 10K is prevented from falling further. Since the game nail 10K will fall when the game balls come into contact with each other, it can be said that it is significant to prevent the fall as in the present embodiment.

It is not necessary to provide the protrusion 21 corresponding to all the game nails 10K. A protruding part with respect to the game nail 10K in order to prevent the game nail 10K (game nail 10K, which has a great influence on the ball ejection performance) from falling, which is important for ensuring the playability (ball ejection performance) as intended. 21 may be provided. The action of the projecting portion 21 prevents the ball ejection performance from being significantly changed.

Hereinafter, specific examples in which the matters relating to the protrusion 21 have been improved, embodied, and deformed will be described. In addition, as long as possible, the configuration may be configured in which a plurality of techniques described with the following specific examples are applied in combination.

〇 First Specific Example In the above embodiment, it has been explained that the protruding portion 21 prevents the game nail 10K from falling, but the target game member 10 is not limited to the game nail 10K. Any member may be provided so as to project forward from the game board 90. For example, in order to prevent the winning member (for example, the member forming the starting area 904) that constitutes the winning area (winning opening) from collapsing, a protrusion 21 is provided so as to be adjacent to a part of the tip side of the winning member. It may be a configured configuration.

〇 Second specific example In the above embodiment, it has been described that the protruding portion 21 is an annular shape formed so as to surround the head of the game nail 10K, but the annular shape is matched to the shape of the target game member 10. It should be. That is, in the above embodiment, since the target game member 10 is the game nail 10K and the head of the game nail 10K is circular in a plan view, the protruding portion 21 is an annular shape, and the target game member is tentatively. If 10 is a rectangular shape in a plan view, the protruding portion 21 is formed into a rectangular ring shape (see FIG. 4). That is, the shape is such that the distance between the outer edge of the portion of the game member 10 surrounded by the protrusion 21 and the inner edge of the protrusion 21 is evenly spaced along the ring. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the game member 10 from falling more than necessary regardless of the direction in which the game member 10 falls.

〇 Third specific example The protruding portion 21 does not have to be an annular shape that surrounds the game member 10. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, it is assumed that a passage R (space) through which a game ball can pass is formed between two game nails 10K arranged in the left-right direction. In order to prevent the size of the passage R from becoming too large, the protruding portion 21 is provided on the left side of the game nail 10Ka on the left side of the passage R, and the game nail 10K1 is greatly tilted to the left. (Based on the same idea, the protrusion 21 may be present on the right side of the game nail 10 Kb on the right side). As shown in FIG. 5, if the game ball passing through the passage wins a prize in the winning area, the size of the passage R has a great influence on the ball ejection performance, so it is significant to provide the protruding portion 21. Can be said to be large. In this way, the position where the protrusion 21 is formed may be limited depending on the purpose. However, if the protruding portion 21 is annular as in the above embodiment, there is an advantage that the tilting in any direction is suppressed.

3) Light amount adjustment function The game machine 1 according to the present embodiment includes a sub-display device 30 which is a display device different from the display device 91 (see FIG. 6). The display device 91 can be regarded as a main display device (main display device 91) with respect to the sub display device 30. The sub-display device 30 is provided in front of the display device 91, and a portion where an image is not displayed has light transmission (a transmissive display device). The sub-display device 30 in the present embodiment has a light guide plate (referred to as an illumination panel or the like) that receives light from the side surface of a transparent plate and displays a predetermined image on the plate. Since the portion where the image is not displayed is transparent, the image displayed on the display device 91 can be visually recognized as it is through the portion. Further, the sub-display device 30 in the present embodiment can visually recognize the image displayed on the display device 91 even through the portion where the image is displayed (the portion where the image is displayed also has transparency (image). Is translucent)). In each figure, the sub-display device 30 and the image displayed on the sub-display device 30 are shown by dotted lines.

The gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment has a light amount adjusting function. Since the light amount adjusting function itself is known, detailed description thereof will be omitted, but the light amount of the light emitting unit provided in the game machine 1 can be arbitrarily adjusted by the player. It is assumed that the light emitting unit includes not only the light (light source) provided in the game machine 1 but also the display device 91. That is, it is assumed that the brightness of the image displayed on the display device 91 can also be adjusted by the light amount adjusting function. In the present embodiment, it is possible to adjust the amount of light of all the light emitting parts as a group in five steps. In the following description, the light amount of the first stage (lowest) is referred to as "light amount 1", the light amount of the second stage is referred to as "light amount 2", and the light amount of the fifth stage (highest) is referred to as "light amount 5". Sometimes. The number of adjustable light intensity steps can be changed as appropriate. In addition, the number of light emitting parts and the like to be adjusted in the amount of light can be increased or decreased as appropriate.

In the present embodiment, the amount of light can be adjusted in the standby state. After the notification of all the success / failure determination results is completed, the standby state is entered at a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds later). In the standby state, the display device 91 shows a procedure for using the light amount adjusting function. In the present embodiment, the amount of light can be adjusted by operating a cross key (not shown) which is an operating means. Specifically, operating the left side of the cross key lowers the amount of light by one step, and operating the right side increases the amount of light by one step.

When the light amount is adjusted by the light amount adjusting function in this way, the auxiliary image 31 is displayed on the sub-display device 30. The shape of the auxiliary image 31 may be any shape. The brightness of the auxiliary image 31 can be changed in five steps. "Auxiliary image 1" associated with "light intensity 1", "auxiliary image 2" associated with "light intensity 2" ... "auxiliary image 5" associated with "light intensity 5", and so on. It is possible to display five types of auxiliary images 31. Each auxiliary image 31 has the same shape, but its brightness (brightness) is different. The brightness increases in the order of "auxiliary image 1" (lowest), "auxiliary image 2" ... "auxiliary image 5" (highest) (see FIG. 7). Each reference image has the same image shape but different brightness.

The auxiliary image 31 in the present embodiment is used for the effect constituting the notification effect. That is, the auxiliary image 31 may be displayed as an effect in the gaming state (during the change of the identification symbol 80) in which the player is playing. By doing so, it is not necessary to prepare a dedicated image for adjusting the amount of light. However, it does not deny that the auxiliary image 31 is prepared as an image dedicated to adjusting the amount of light.

Further, when the light amount is adjusted, an image showing the value of the light amount (hereinafter, referred to as a light amount image 92) is displayed on the display device 91. The light intensity image 92 can be visually recognized through the sub-display device 30 even when the auxiliary image 31 is displayed on the sub-display device 30. In the present embodiment, the light intensity image 92 is displayed at a position in the display area 911 that does not overlap with the auxiliary image 31. The method of indicating the "value of the amount of light" by the light amount image 92 may be any method as long as the value is visually represented. It may be expressed using numbers such as light amount 1, light amount 2, and so on, or may be expressed by a meter (it may include both numbers and meters) (see FIG. 7).

In the present embodiment, when the amount of light changes, the auxiliary image 31 corresponding to the amount of light after the change is displayed on the sub-display device 30. For example, when the operation of changing from the "light amount 3" to the "light amount 4" is performed, the "auxiliary image 4" is displayed on the sub-display device 30. Further, when the operation of changing to the "light intensity 5" is performed, the "auxiliary image 5" is displayed on the sub-display device 30 (see FIG. 7). In this way, since the auxiliary image 31 having the brightness corresponding to the corresponding light amount is displayed, it can be used as a guide when the adjustment is made, and the light amount can be easily adjusted.

Further, when the light amount is adjusted, the light amount image 92 is displayed on the main display device 91. Since the sub-display device 30 in the present embodiment is a transmissive display device, the light quantity image 92 displayed on the main display device 91 located behind the sub-display device 30 is visually recognized through the sub-display device 30 (the auxiliary image 31 is displayed). Even if it is done, the light intensity image 92 will not disappear). Therefore, the brightness of the auxiliary image 31 and the value of the light amount indicated by the light amount image 92 can be adjusted to the desired light amount (see FIG. 7).

Although not shown, in the present embodiment, at least a part of the light emitting parts whose light amount changes due to the light amount adjustment and which emits light even in the standby state is accompanied by the light amount adjustment. The amount of light (actual output) changes. The amount of light can be adjusted by combining the actual output of the light emitting unit with the auxiliary image 31.

Hereinafter, specific examples in which the matters related to the light amount adjusting function have been improved, embodied, and modified will be described. In addition, as long as possible, the configuration may be configured in which a plurality of techniques described with the following specific examples are applied in combination.

〇 First specific example At the time of adjusting the amount of light, the auxiliary image 31 shall be continuously displayed until a predetermined time elapses. That is, the auxiliary image 31 is not displayed once when the amount of light changes and then disappears immediately, but the auxiliary image 31 is continuously displayed for a certain period of time (for example, 10 seconds). When adjusting the amount of light, an operation is often performed so that the stage of the amount of light is changed in a short time (according to the above embodiment, the cross key is often operated continuously). Therefore, if the auxiliary image 31 is not immediately erased, only the brightness of the auxiliary image 31 will change while the auxiliary image 31 remains, so that the "difference" caused by the one-step change in the amount of light is easy to understand. It becomes a thing.

〇 Second specific example The auxiliary image 31 once displayed shall not be erased until the predetermined conditions are satisfied. For example, if the light amount can be adjusted in the standby state as in the above embodiment, the auxiliary image 31 once displayed is not erased until the standby state is resolved. There are various possible conditions for eliminating the standby state. It may be triggered by the fact that the game ball is launched (the launching device 908 is operated), or it may be triggered by the fact that the game ball wins the starting area 904 (the change of the identification symbol 80 is started). Good. By preventing the auxiliary image 31 from being erased until the predetermined condition is satisfied in this way, when the light amount is adjusted, only the brightness of the auxiliary image 31 remains and the light amount changes. The "difference" caused by changing by one step becomes easy to understand.

〇 Third specific example In the above embodiment, it has been explained that the light amount can be adjusted in the standby state, but the light amount can be adjusted even in the state other than the standby state, that is, in the gaming state (during the fluctuation of the identification symbol 80). It may have a certain configuration. However, when the light amount is adjusted in the game state, the auxiliary image 31 is not displayed (the light amount image 92 is displayed). That is, the auxiliary image 31 is displayed when the light amount is adjusted in the standby state (see FIG. 8A), but the auxiliary image 31 is not displayed when the light amount is adjusted in the gaming state (see FIG. 8B). .. As described in the above embodiment, when the auxiliary image 31 is also used as an effect constituting the notification effect, the auxiliary image 31 is displayed by adjusting the amount of light during the notification effect. This is because the player may misunderstand that the display of the auxiliary image 31 is generated as an effect.

However, if the auxiliary image 31 is set as a dedicated image for adjusting the amount of light (so that the auxiliary image 31 is not displayed as an effect constituting the notification effect), even when the amount of light is adjusted in the gaming state, the amount of light is adjusted. The auxiliary image 31 may be displayed.

〇 Fourth specific example It is assumed that the difference in mode of each auxiliary image 31 (“auxiliary image 1” to “auxiliary image 5”) associated with each amount of light is not only “brightness”. For example, it is conceivable that the colors of the images are different. Specifically, not only the brightness increases in the order of "auxiliary image 1", "auxiliary image 2" ... "auxiliary image 5", but also the "red" element constituting the image becomes larger (). The redness will gradually increase). By doing so, the change in the amount of light becomes easier to understand. If the colors of the auxiliary image 31 are completely different, it may be difficult to understand the difference in brightness. Therefore, the color system should be unified (the above example is an example of unifying with "red"). Is preferable.

4) Mode change In the game machine 1 according to the present embodiment, one of a plurality of types of production modes is set. The mode of the notification effect is determined according to the currently set effect mode (hereinafter, may be referred to as the current setting mode). That is, the mode of the notification effect changes according to the current setting mode. In the present embodiment, three types of effect modes, mode A, mode B, and mode C, are set (see FIG. 9). The number of selectable production modes can be increased or decreased as appropriate. The difference between the production modes may be any. In the present embodiment, each of the modes A, B, and C is supposed to generate an effect with the characters A, B, and C as motifs. That is, the character that is the motif of the production changes as the production mode changes. However, this is just an example. The configuration may be such that the probability that a predetermined effect will occur differs depending on the effect mode. As the predetermined effect, so-called "look-ahead effect", "one-shot notification effect", and "pending change effect" can be exemplified. The frequency of occurrence of these effects changes according to the selection of the effect mode.

In the present embodiment, the player can select a desired effect mode (select which effect mode is to be the current setting mode). The effect mode is selected not only during the state in which the notification effect is not executed (the state in which the identification symbol 80 is stopped), but also during the notification effect (the state in which the identification symbol 80 is changing). Can be done. Any method may be used to require the player to switch the production mode. In the present embodiment, the effect mode can be switched by operating the up and down of the cross key, which is an operation means. Hereinafter, control when a change in the effect mode is requested during the notification effect will be described.

It is assumed that a change from the current setting mode to a different production mode is requested. In the following description, the other production mode will be referred to as a "desired mode". When a change from the state where the current setting mode is the effect mode A to the effect mode B is requested, the desired mode is the effect mode B. In the present embodiment, even when a change to the desired mode is requested, the change to change the desired mode to the current setting mode may not be immediately executed. Specifically, the desired mode is triggered by the completion of notification of the pass / fail judgment result corresponding to all the hold information (hold information during change and hold information before change) existing at the time when the player's request is received. Make a change to the current setting mode. In short, the change from the desired mode to the current setting mode is executed when all the holds existing at the time requested by the player are exhausted.

For example, a state in which one pending information on fluctuation (design on hold during fluctuation 71) (H1) and two information on hold before fluctuation (symbol on hold before fluctuation 72) (H2, H3) exist (see FIG. 10A). ), It is assumed that a request is made to change the effect mode A (current setting mode) to the effect mode B (desired mode) (note that the symbols such as H1, H2, etc. are used to distinguish each reserved symbol 70. It is attached to, and is not actually attached. Those with the same code correspond to the same pending information (same result of judgment of correctness)). When the request is made (at the time of request), the mode B is not immediately switched to, and all the pending information existing at the time of request, that is, one pending information during change (H1) and two fluctuations. The effect mode A is maintained until the notification of the hit / miss determination result corresponding to the previous hold information (H2, H3) is completed. To put it simply, after the request time, the effect mode A is set until the notification of the three hit / fail judgment results (notification of the loss) is completed, that is, until the notification of the hit / miss judgment result corresponding to the reserved symbol 70 of H3 is completed. It is maintained (see FIGS. 10B and 10C).

After the request time, the effect mode A is switched to the effect mode B when the notification of the third hit / fail determination result is completed. If new hold information (whether or not judgment information) (H4) has been acquired after the request time, the notification effect (identification symbol corresponding to the new hold information) in which the new hold information becomes the changing hold information The mode can be switched to the effect mode B from the time when the 80 starts to fluctuate (see FIG. 10D).

As described above, in the present embodiment, even when the player requests the switching of the effect mode, the effect mode is not immediately switched. Specifically, since the current effect mode is maintained until all the hold remaining at the time of request is exhausted, the effect can be easily controlled. For example, it is conceivable that the effect mode can be switched from the next notification effect (next fluctuation) after the request time, but with such a configuration, the time until the effect mode is switched is short and the control burden is heavy. On the other hand, it is large (when a request for switching the production mode is issued immediately before the end of a certain notification effect, the production mode must be switched almost at the same time as the request, and a speed corresponding to the switching is required). In this embodiment, since there is a time margin until the production mode is switched, it contributes to the reduction of the control load.

Hereinafter, specific examples in which the above-mentioned mode change items have been improved, embodied, and modified will be described. In addition, as long as possible, the configuration may be configured in which a plurality of techniques described with the following specific examples are applied in combination.

〇 First specific example Controlling the change of the effect mode as in the above embodiment is advantageous in the configuration in which the following look-ahead effect is installed. The look-ahead effect suggests the probability that the hit / fail determination result of the target will be a hit during the notification effect of the hit / miss determination result before the notification is completed before the hit / miss determination result of the target. Since the look-ahead effect itself is known, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

As a kind of such look-ahead effect, one that occurs only when the current setting mode is a specific effect mode is set. In other words, a look-ahead effect dedicated to a certain effect mode is set. For example, when three types of effect modes A to C are set as the effect mode as in the above embodiment, it can occur only when the effect mode C is the current setting mode (effect modes A and B). It is assumed that a look-ahead effect (hereinafter, may be referred to as a specific look-ahead effect C) is set. Any specific aspect of the specific look-ahead effect C may be used. For example, it is conceivable to use a look-ahead effect in which the character C, which is the motif of the effect mode C, appears.

It is assumed that it is decided to execute the specific look-ahead effect C when the effect mode C is set to the current setting mode. For example, there are four hold information H1 to H4 (hold information during change (designed with hold during change 71) (H1) and three hold information before change (design with hold before change 72) (H2, H3, H4)). In this state, the hit / fail judgment result corresponding to the hold information of H4 is set as the hit / fail judgment result of the target of the specific look-ahead effect C, and is specified during the notification effect of the hit / fail judgment result corresponding to the hold information of H2 and H3. It is assumed that the look-ahead effect C is executed. In this example, it is assumed that the specific look-ahead effect C is executed during the notification effect on the corresponding hit / fail determination result corresponding to the hold information of H4 (during the notification effect of the look-ahead target). An effect during the notification effect of the look-ahead target (H4) (for example, an effect using character C), which is executed while ensuring continuity from the look-ahead effect; hereinafter referred to as the variable effect) occurs. Therefore, when the specific look-ahead effect C is executed, it is necessary to be in the effect mode C until the notification effect of the look-ahead target (H4) is completed. Based on this, it is assumed that the specific look-ahead effect C includes the variable effect. That is, the specific look-ahead effect C is executed during the notification effect of the hit / miss determination result corresponding to the hold information of H2 to H4 (see FIG. 11A).

In this case, even if the change from the effect mode C to the effect mode A is requested in the state where the four hold information H1 to H4 exist, the result of the hit / fail determination corresponding to the pre-variation hold information of H4 is obtained. The state in which the current setting mode is the effect mode C is maintained until the notification is completed (see FIGS. 11B and 11C). Therefore, it is possible to execute the specific look-ahead effect C (including the variable effect) to the end. That is, for example, assuming that the configuration is such that the effect mode A can be switched to before all the holds that existed at the time of the request are consumed, the specific look-ahead effect C is not continuously executed ( It must be controlled (to be cut off in the middle), but there is an advantage that it is not necessary to perform such control.

〇 Second specific example It exists during the period from the time when the player requests to change to the desired mode (at the time of request) until the change to the current setting mode of the desired mode is completed, that is, at the time of request. A display indicating that the change to the desired mode as the current setting mode has not been completed in the period until all the pending holds are exhausted (hereinafter, also referred to as the change waiting period) (hereinafter, the change is not completed). (Sometimes referred to as display 40) shall be made.

For example, when a change from the effect mode B (current setting mode) to the effect mode C (desired mode) is requested, a display such as "mode C waiting" is displayed as the change incomplete display 40 in the change waiting period. (See FIG. 12). That is, by displaying that the "(effect) mode C" is in the "standby" state, the player has been accepted the request to change to the effect mode C, but the change has not been completed yet. Show that. In this way, the change incomplete display 40 is such that the player can understand that "the player's request for changing the production mode has been accepted" and "the change to the desired mode has not been completed yet". It should be. By doing so, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the player is wondering that the mode will not be changed to the desired mode (the player performs unnecessary operations so that the change to the desired mode can be realized). It is possible to put it away. The change incomplete display 40 does not have to continue to be displayed throughout the change waiting period. For example, it may be displayed for at least a part of the change waiting period, for example, it may be displayed for a certain period after the change waiting period is started.

〇 Third specific example Change in the change waiting period, which is the period from the time when the player requests to change to the desired mode (at the time of request) until the change to the current setting mode is completed. It is assumed that the change completion schedule display 41 indicating the timing when is scheduled to be completed is displayed.

The change completion schedule display 41 uses the reserved symbol 70. For example, three holding information H1 to H3 (a state in which three holding information H1 to H3 (holding information during change (designs 71) (H1) and holding information before change (holding symbols 72 before change) (H2, H3)) exist. It is assumed that the request for changing from the effect mode A (current setting mode) to the effect mode B (desired mode) is accepted. In this case, the effect mode A (current setting) is set so as to point to the reserved symbols 70 (changing reserved symbols 71 and pre-variable reserved symbols 72) indicating the existence of the reserved information H1 to H3 (accompanied by these reserved symbols 70). An image showing the mode) is displayed (see FIG. 13B). That is, it is shown to the player that the effect mode A is maintained until the digestion of the hold information (hold symbol 70) H1 to H3 is completed. Such a display is the change completion schedule display 41. Upon seeing this, the player sees that the effect mode A is maintained until the digestion of the hold information (hold symbol 70) H1 to H3 is completed, that is, the change to the effect mode B is performed after that. You will know that. After the request time, each time one hold is exhausted, the number of hold symbols 70 indicated by the change completion schedule display 41 will decrease (see FIGS. 13 (b) and 13 (c)).

In addition, unlike the above example, the reserved information (reserved symbol 70) H1 to H3 and the reserved information (reserved symbol 70) H4, H5, ... Are pointed to (accompanying these reserved symbols 70). The image showing the effect mode B (desired mode) may be displayed as the change completion schedule display 41 (see FIG. 14A). In this way, the player can grasp that the effect mode B, which is the desired mode, is started from the notification effect corresponding to the hold information (hold symbol 70) H4.

It may be a combination of the above examples. That is, as shown in FIG. 14B, even if both the hold information (holding symbol 70) in which the current setting mode is maintained and the holding information (holding symbol 70) in which the desired mode is changed are shown. Good.

In addition, the above display method is just an example. It suffices to understand the timing when the production mode actually switches. In short, it suffices to understand at least one of the hold information (holding symbol 70) at which the current setting mode ends and the holding information (holding symbol 70) at which the desired mode starts. For example, as shown in FIG. 14C, an image showing between the reserved symbol 70 in which the current setting mode is maintained and the reserved symbol 70 changed to the desired mode is displayed as the change completion schedule display 41. It may be.

5) Reserved light emitting unit It is suggested that the corresponding hit / fail judgment result is a big hit (big hit reliability) depending on the mode of the reserved symbol 70 (reserved symbol 71 during change, 72 before change). In the present embodiment, as the mode of the reserved symbol 70, a normal mode and three special modes (first special mode to third special mode) are set. The jackpot reliability is set to be higher (the normal mode is the lowest) in the order of the normal mode, the first special mode, the second special mode, and the third special mode (see FIG. 15). A mode of determining the jackpot (special mode) may be set. Colors are associated with each of the embodiments. In the present embodiment, the normal mode is white, the first special mode is blue, the second special mode is green, and the third special mode is red (in each figure, the color is indicated by characters). .. In addition, a plurality of types of modes may be set for the normal mode and each special mode.

The gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment includes a hold light emitting unit 50 (see FIG. 1). The hold light emitting unit 50 is a portion including a color LED, and has a light emitting mode according to the mode of the hold symbol 70. In the present embodiment, when any one of the plurality of reserved symbols 70 has a special mode, the reserved light emitting unit 50 emits light in the corresponding mode (see FIG. 16). That is, it is blue when any one of the plurality of reserved symbols 70 is in the first special mode, green when it is in the second special mode, and red when it is in the third special mode. It emits light with. Further, when all the reserved symbols 70 are in the normal mode, the reserved light emitting unit 50 emits white light. However, when all the reserved symbols 70 are in the normal mode, the reserved light emitting unit 50 may be set not to emit light. Since the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment has only one reserved light emitting unit 50, it is not necessarily associated with any one of the plurality of reserved symbols 70.

In this embodiment, since it is set so that two or more of the plurality of reserved symbols 70 (reserved symbol 71 during change, 72 before change) are in a special mode do not occur. Even if the reserved symbol 70 is generated, there is only one, and the reserved light emitting unit 50 has a light emitting mode corresponding to the special aspect of the one reserved symbol 70. However, the configuration may be such that a situation in which a plurality of reserved symbols 70 are in a special mode may occur. In this case, the hold light emitting unit 50 is set to a light emitting mode corresponding to any one of the plurality of special modes (correspondence hold). There are various possible methods for determining the response hold. For example, the reserved symbol 70 of the special mode having the earliest digestion order may be set as the corresponding hold. Further, the reserved symbol 70 of the special mode having the highest jackpot reliability may be set as the corresponding hold.

Further, in the present embodiment, when either the changing reserved symbol 71 or the pre-changing reserved symbol 72 becomes a special mode, the reserved light emitting unit 50 becomes a light emitting mode according to the special mode. Only the middle pending symbol 71 may be targeted. That is, regardless of the mode of the reserved symbol 72 before the change, the light emitting mode of the reserved light emitting unit 50 is controlled according to the mode of one reserved symbol 71 during the change.

The position where the holding light emitting unit 50 is provided is not particularly limited, but it is preferable that the holding light emitting unit 50 is a position where the player can assume that it corresponds to the aspect of the holding symbol 70. In the present embodiment, it is provided on a member constituting the first starting region 904a (starting region of special drawing 1) (see FIG. 1). Since the hold information (hold symbol 70) is acquired when the game ball wins a prize in the first start area 904a, the hold light emitting unit 50 is provided in the member constituting the first start area 904a.

In the present embodiment, it is possible to execute a hold change effect that results in a change in the mode of the hold symbol 70. The change in the mode of the reserved symbol 70 is limited to the direction in which the jackpot reliability is increased. Not only a change from a normal aspect to any special aspect, but also a change from one special aspect to another can occur. In addition, changes in two or more stages may occur, such as a change from a normal mode to a second special mode, a change from a first special mode to a third special mode, and the like.

The hold change effect includes a hold change fan effect (hereinafter, may be simply referred to as a fan effect). The hold change effect is an effect for showing the player that the mode of the hold symbol 70 may change. In the hold change effect, either a success result in which the mode of the hold symbol 70 changes or a failure result in which the mode of the hold symbol 70 does not change is reached after the fanning effect. The fact that the change in the mode of the reserved symbol 70 is limited to the direction in which the reliability of the jackpot is increased means that the success outcome is a favorable outcome for the player and the unsuccessful outcome is a disadvantageous outcome for the player.

The hold symbol 70 that is the target of the hold change effect is set as the target hold symbol 70T (see FIG. 17A). In the fanning effect, the target reserved symbol 70T displayed in the display area 911 is displayed to indicate to the player that it is the target of the effect. If a plurality of reserved symbols 70 are displayed, the display is made so that the other reserved symbols 70 and the target reserved symbol 70T can be clearly distinguished from each other. In the present embodiment, as a fanning effect, a display is made such that the brightness of the target reserved symbol 70T itself or its surroundings increases with time (see FIGS. 17B and 17C). That is, the target reserved symbol 70T is displayed as if it is brighter than the other reserved symbols 70.

As a fanning effect, in addition to the above-mentioned display being made in the display area 911, the light emitting mode of the reserved light emitting unit 50 is set to the fanning mode. In the present embodiment, the reserved light emitting unit 50 has a light emitting mode as if the amount of light increases with time. That is, the reserved light emitting unit 50 (see FIG. 17A), which was emitting light at a constant amount of light before the occurrence of the fanning effect, has a light emitting mode as if the amount of light gradually increases at the same time as the start of the fanning effect. (See FIGS. 17 (b) and 17 (c)). In this way, the light amount (brightness) of the hold light emitting unit 50 is controlled to gradually increase as the target hold symbol 70T displayed in the display area 911 gradually becomes brighter. It can be said that the effect is such that the change of the target reserved symbol 70T displayed in the display area 911 and the change of the reserved light emitting unit 50 are linked.

It is assumed that the color of the reserved light emitting unit 50 at the time of the fanning effect corresponds to the color of the target reserved symbol 70T. In other words, the color of the reserved light emitting unit 50 before the fanning effect occurs is maintained even in the fanning effect. For example, if the target reserved symbol 70T is a normal mode, the emission color of the reserved light emitting unit 50 in the fanning effect is white. That is, the fanning effect is such that the brightness (amount of light) of the white light gradually increases (see FIGS. 17B and 17C). Similarly, for example, if the target reserved symbol 70T is the second special aspect, the emission color of the reserved light emitting unit 50 in the fanning effect is green. That is, regardless of whether or not the hold change effect is finally successful, the emission color of the hold light emitting unit 50 corresponding to the mode of the target hold symbol 70T before the effect is generated is maintained even in the fanning effect. Assuming that the hold change effect is a successful outcome, the fanning effect is the emission color of the hold light emitting unit 50 corresponding to the mode of the hold symbol 70 before the change.

When the hold change effect is a successful outcome, the target hold symbol 70T displayed in the display area 911 is set to a corresponding mode (a mode after the change). Further, substantially at the same time that the target reserved symbol 70T becomes the changed mode, the light emitting mode of the reserved light emitting unit 50 corresponds to the changed mode of the target reserved symbol 70T. For example, when the mode after the change of the target reserved symbol 70T is the third special mode, the light emitting mode (emission color) of the holding light emitting unit 50 is set to red almost at the same time when the successful outcome is reached (FIG. 18 (a) )reference). When the hold change effect ends in failure, the mode of the target hold symbol 70T is maintained, and the light emission mode of the hold light emitting unit 50 also returns to the original state (see FIG. 18B).

As described above, in the hold change effect in the present embodiment, it is easy to understand that the hold change may occur because the light emitting mode of the hold light emitting unit 50 is set as the fan state as the fan effect. In particular, since the fanning mode in the present embodiment is such that the amount of light of the reserved light emitting unit 50 gradually increases, it is easy to grasp as an image that the target reserved symbol 70T is likely to change.

Hereinafter, specific examples in which the matters related to the above-mentioned pending change effect (fanning effect) have been improved, embodied, and transformed will be described. In addition, as long as possible, the configuration may be configured in which a plurality of techniques described with the following specific examples are applied in combination.

〇 First Specific Example The fanning mode, which is the light emitting mode of the reserved light emitting unit 50 at the time of the fanning effect, is not limited to that described in the above embodiment. It has been explained that the fanning mode in the above embodiment is a mode in which the amount of light gradually increases (with time) while maintaining the emission color, but the opposite setting, that is, while maintaining the emission color. The mode may be such that the amount of light gradually decreases (with time). Further, it may be in a mode of blinking while maintaining the emission color.

In addition, it is also conceivable that the light emitting color of the reserved light emitting unit 50 is gradually changed (with time). For example, in a fanning effect that indicates that the normal mode (white) may change to the first special mode (blue), the emission color gradually changes from white to blue (the element of "blue" gradually becomes stronger). (Become). If the result is a success, the color is blue (light emission mode corresponding to the first special mode), and if the result is unsuccessful, the color is white (light emission mode corresponding to the normal mode). That is, the luminescent color corresponding to the mode of the reserved symbol 70 before the change gradually approaches the luminescent color corresponding to the mode of the reserved symbol 70 that may change (in the case of a successful outcome, the reserved symbol 70 after the change). It may be a fanning mode. In addition, in the case of the fanning mode, the amount of light may increase (or decrease) with time, or the amount of light may be maintained.

〇 Second specific example The gaming machine 1 according to the above embodiment includes only one hold light emitting unit 50, but may be configured to have a hold light emitting unit 50 corresponding to each of the hold symbols 70. It is assumed that the same control as in the above embodiment is executed for the hold light emitting unit 50 corresponding to the target hold symbol 70T of the hold change effect (fan effect).

〇 Third specific example In the hold change effect, the hold light emitting unit 50 is not always in a fanned mode. The holding light emitting unit 50 may or may not be in a fanning mode during the suspension change effect. Then, in the case where the hold light emitting unit 50 is in the fanned mode, the end of the hold change effect is a successful result (the jackpot reliability is increased) as compared with the case where the hold light emitting unit 50 is not in the fanned mode. It is assumed that there is a high probability that the mode of the reserved symbol 70 will change in the direction (see FIG. 19). That is, the configuration is set so that the reserved light emitting unit 50 is in a fanned manner as a so-called chance up. By doing so, it is possible to make the effect form in which the player pays attention to the mode of the hold light emitting unit 50 when the hold change effect occurs.

〇 Fourth specific example A configuration in which a plurality of types of fanning modes of the reserved light emitting unit 50 are set. Specifically, even if the mode of the target reserved symbol 70T is the same, the mode of fanning is not always the same. For example, when the target reserved symbol 70T is a normal mode, a first fan mode in which the amount of light is controlled to gradually increase with a white emission color and a second fan mode in which the light emission color is controlled to blink. Is set. That is, the emission color is set according to the target reserved symbol 70T, and the difference in emission mode is set by other factors. Then, the ending of the pending change effect is more successful when the other fanning mode occurs than when one fanning mode occurs (the mode of the reserved symbol 70 in the direction of increasing the jackpot reliability). It is assumed that there is a high probability (see FIG. 20; the magnitude relationship of the jackpot reliability may be the opposite of that shown in FIG. 20). By doing so, it is possible to make the effect form in which the player pays attention to the mode of the hold light emitting unit 50 at the time of the fanning effect.
