In the above-mentioned game machine, there is room for improvement in displaying characters such as dialogues in the effect of reproducing and displaying moving images.

The present invention has been devised in view of such circumstances, and is to provide a gaming machine capable of improving the interest of a game related to character display.

A gaming machine that plays a game (for example, a gaming machine 1 exemplified by a slot machine or a pachinko gaming machine).
A specific effect executing means (a process in which the sub control unit 91 executes a specific effect) for executing a specific effect (for example, battle effect A, premier effect) suggesting the granting of a privilege (for example, privilege A, privilege B) is provided.
The specific effect includes a first specific effect (for example, battle effect A) that is executed regardless of whether or not the privilege is given, and a second specific effect (for example, that is executed only when the privilege is given). For example, premier production) and (Figs. 4 and 6),
The specific effect executing means is
Character display (for example, subtitle display) can be performed in both the first specific effect and the second specific effect.
When the character display is performed in the first specific effect, the color (for example, white, blue) of the character display can be changed according to the ratio to which the privilege is given (for example, the battle effect A). When displaying subtitles in, it is possible to make the color of the subtitle display different between white and blue according to the proportion of benefits granted.),
When the character display is performed in the second specific effect, the character display is performed in a predetermined color (for example, gold, which is a special color) without changing the color of the character display (for example, shown in FIG. 6). When displaying subtitles in the premiere production, the subtitles are displayed in gold),
In the first specific production
When the privilege is granted, the specific display (for example, FIGS. 2 (f) to (j), advantageous display) corresponding to the grant of the privilege is set at a specific timing (for example, FIGS. 2 (f), 6 (b2)). On the other hand, when the privilege is not granted, a non-specific display (for example, FIGS. 2 (k) to (o), non-advantageous display) different from the specific display is performed from the specific timing.
When the character display is performed before the specific timing, the color of the character display is changed according to the ratio to which the privilege is given (for example, as shown in FIGS. 6 (d1) and 6 (d2)). If the subtitles are displayed before a specific timing, the color of the subtitles will be different between white and blue depending on the percentage of benefits granted),
When the character display is performed during the specific display, the character display is performed in a predetermined color without changing the color of the character display (for example, in FIGS. 2 (f) and 2 (h)).

It is a figure for demonstrating an example of a battle production A. It is a figure for demonstrating an example of a battle production B. It is a figure for demonstrating an example of a premiere production and a battle production A. It is a figure for demonstrating the generation of the image used for a specific effect, and the subtitle displayed in a specific effect. It is a figure for demonstrating the privilege given in a specific production. It is a figure for demonstrating the difference between the battle production A and the battle production B. It is a figure for demonstrating an example of a chance up display. It is a figure for demonstrating the application example to a slot machine and a pachinko game machine.

A mode for carrying out the game machine 1 according to the present invention will be described below based on examples.

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

As shown in FIG. 1A, the game machine 1 includes a main control unit 41 that controls the progress of the game, and a sub control unit 91 that controls the effect. The main control unit 41 includes a RAM 41c that stores various data related to the progress of the game. The main control unit 41 stores the game value in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 41c. Further, an operation unit 7 is connected to the main control unit 41.

The main control unit 41 outputs various commands according to the progress of the game. The sub control unit 91 controls the effect based on the control information of the command output from the main control unit 41. The sub-control unit 91 includes a RAM 91c that stores various data related to the effect.

A liquid crystal display 51 for displaying an image and a speaker 53 for outputting sound are connected to the sub control unit 91. The effect is performed using the liquid crystal display 51 and the speaker 53.

FIG. 1B is a front view of the gaming machine. The game machine 1 can play a game by operating the operation unit 7 by the player using the value for the game.

When the game machine 1 is a slot machine, the operation unit 7 includes a bet number setting button capable of setting a bet number, a start switch for starting rotation of the reel, a stop switch for stopping the reel, and the like. The game value is medals and credits. Game value is given according to the symbol derived by stopping the reel.

When the game machine 1 is a pachinko game machine, the operation unit 7 is a ball striking operation handle for launching a game ball (game medium). In addition, the value for games is a game ball. A prize ball is generated by winning a game ball in the winning opening (a game value is given).

[Normal state and advantageous state]
The main control unit 41 can control a state including a normal state and an advantageous state. The normal state is, for example, a state in which the game machine 1 is designed so that an increase in the game value cannot be expected, or a state in which the stay rate of the game is higher than the advantageous state. The advantageous state is a state that is more advantageous to the player than the normal state. The advantageous state is, for example, a state in which the player's own game value is more likely to increase than in the normal state, a state in which the player's game value is less likely to decrease than in the normal state, or a state in which the player's hand is more difficult than in the normal state. It is a state in which it is easy to shift to a state in which the value for games is likely to increase. The advantageous state may be any state as long as it is more advantageous to the player than the normal state.

The advantageous state is, for example, in a slot machine, a bonus that improves the winning probability of a small winning combination, or an AT that notifies a player of an operation procedure that is advantageous to the player and performs navigation. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine, it is a big hit gaming state in which a round game advantageous to the player can be executed a predetermined number of times.

In pachinko gaming machines, when a game ball wins a prize at the starting winning opening, it is decided by lottery whether or not to generate a big hit. Based on the winning of the game ball to the starting winning opening, the liquid crystal display 51 displays the effect symbol in a variable manner. When a big hit is made, the big hit symbol is derived and displayed as a result of the variable display. After the big hit, it is controlled to the big hit game state.

When the predetermined condition is satisfied, the main control unit 41 executes a lottery for determining whether or not to give a privilege advantageous to the player. For example, in a slot machine, a predetermined condition is satisfied by winning a predetermined combination (for example, cherry) in an internal lottery executed when the start switch is operated. In the pachinko gaming machine, the predetermined condition is satisfied when the gaming ball wins a prize in the starting winning opening.

In the slot machine, the privilege is a bonus winning, an AT winning (giving the number of AT games), and an additional winning in which the number of AT games is given in addition to the number of AT games during AT. The bonus includes RB (regular bonus) and BB (big bonus) with different payouts. In pachinko machines, the privilege is the occurrence of big hits. The jackpot includes a normal jackpot and a probability variation jackpot in which the probability of becoming a jackpot after the end of the jackpot gaming state is higher than in the normal state. Further, the jackpot includes a jackpot in which the round game is executed twice and a jackpot in which the round game is executed 16 times.

In the normal state or the advantageous state, the game image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as an effect of the normal state or the advantageous state. The game image is an image in which it can be recognized from the outside that the player is playing a game. In the normal state, the specific effect described later can be executed. In the normal state where the specific effect is not executed, the normal display is performed. In this case, as a normal display, a game image showing that the character is walking is displayed together with a background image of the city showing the normal state. When the specific effect is executed in the normal state, the specific effect image is displayed as the game image. In the advantageous state, the advantageous state image is displayed as the game image.

[Outline of various productions]
First, in the game machine 1 according to the present embodiment, various effects executed by the sub-control unit 91 will be described. The sub control unit 91 grasps the state of the game based on the command from the main control unit 41, and executes various effects using the effect data stored in the RAM 91c.

(Specific production)
The sub-control unit 91 can execute a plurality of types of specific effects. The specific effect is an effect that suggests the granting of benefits. Multiple types of specific effects include battle effects and premier effects. The battle production includes a battle production A and a battle production B.

The battle effect is an effect that is executed regardless of whether or not the privilege is given. That is, as a result of executing the battle effect, the privilege may not be given. An example of the battle effect will be described later mainly with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.

On the other hand, the premier effect is an effect that is executed only when the privilege is given. That is, as a result of executing the premier production, some kind of privilege is always given. An example of the premier production will be described later with reference to FIG.

There are multiple types of benefits. The plurality of types of benefits include privilege A and privilege B. Details of the benefits will be described later with reference to FIG.

In the specific effect, a predetermined sound is output according to the progress of the specific effect. In addition, it is possible to display subtitles in a specific effect. The subtitle display is a display corresponding to a predetermined sound. For example, a character appearing in a specific effect emits a line. The dialogue emitted by the character is output from the speaker 53 as voice. Correspondingly, the dialogue emitted by the character is displayed as subtitles on the liquid crystal display 51 by displaying subtitles.

For example, the speaker 53 outputs "Kurae!" As a predetermined sound, and the liquid crystal display 51 displays a subtitle image "Kurae!" Corresponding to the predetermined sound.

In the battle effect, the effect image in which the ally character and the enemy character engage in a battle is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Then, a series of battles are performed, and the liquid crystal display 51 displays whether the ally character finally wins or loses the enemy character. In the slot machine, the battle effect may be executed over a plurality of games (for example, 4 games). In the pachinko gaming machine, the battle effect may be executed for a predetermined period (for example, 1 minute) as the reach effect.

In the battle production, either specific display or non-specific display is performed from a specific timing. The specific display is a display corresponding to the granting of benefits. The non-specific display is a display different from the specific display. When the privilege is given, the specific display is performed, and when the privilege is not given, the non-specific display is performed.

The specific display is a display performed in response to the privilege for which the grant has been decided when the grant of the privilege is decided. In the specific display, a display suggesting to the player that the grant of the privilege has been decided is performed. By performing the specific display, the player can recognize that the privilege has already been decided and the state shifts to the advantageous state after the specific display is completed. In the specific display, a display is performed so as to make the player guess that the grant of the privilege will be decided.

On the other hand, in the non-specific display, the display suggesting to the player that the grant of the privilege has been decided is not performed. For example, in the non-specific display, a display is performed so as to make the player guess that the grant of the privilege will not be decided. In addition, the non-specific display may be performed when the grant of the privilege is not decided, or the non-specific display may be performed when the grant of the privilege is decided. In the latter case, the specific display may be performed again after the non-specific display ends.

In the present embodiment, as a specific display, an advantageous display is performed in which a moving image of a victory pattern in which a ally character wins over an enemy character is played. In addition, as a non-specific display, a non-advantageous display in which a moving image of a defeat pattern in which a friendly character is defeated by an enemy character is played is performed.

If the ally character finally wins or loses the enemy character in the battle production, the result is notified. When the moving image of the victory pattern is reproduced and the ally character wins the enemy character, the effect of displaying the character image of "WIN" on the liquid crystal display 51 is executed as a result notification. As a result, the player is notified that the decision to grant the privilege has been made.

On the other hand, when the moving image of the defeat pattern is played back and the ally character is defeated by the enemy character, the screen of the liquid crystal display 51 is darkened (darkened) as a result notification. In this case, the player is not notified that the privilege will be granted. However, in this case, the specific effect may be executed again after the battle effect is executed as the revival effect. Therefore, even if the ally character is defeated by the enemy character, it may be decided to grant the privilege.

In the battle production, when the subtitles are displayed while the advantageous display is being performed, the subtitles are displayed in a predetermined color (hereinafter, also referred to as "specific color") without changing the color of the subtitle display. For example, the specific color is iridescent. That is, in the battle production, when the subtitles are displayed while the advantageous display is being performed, the subtitles are always displayed in rainbow colors. When the subtitle display is displayed in rainbow colors, the subtitle image is displayed in seven colors like a rainbow. In the present embodiment, a rainbow color other than a single color is also included in the specific color. In the battle production, when the subtitles are displayed before the specific timing, the subtitles are displayed in a color different from the specific color (hereinafter, also referred to as "predetermined color"). For example, the predetermined color is white.

For example, when playing a moving image showing an advantageous display, a player who is not accustomed to the game may not be able to determine whether or not the moving image is an advantageous display. When the subtitles are displayed while the advantageous display is being performed after a specific timing, it is easy to understand that the advantageous display is also performed depending on the color of the subtitle display by changing the subtitles to rainbow colors. Therefore, the player can recognize that the advantageous display is performed, distinguishing it from other displays. Further, since the subtitle display is a display in characters, it becomes easy for the player to pay attention to the subtitle display. As a result, it is possible to improve the interest of the game regarding the display of subtitles.

When the subtitle display is performed while the advantageous display is being performed, the sub-control unit 91 makes the subtitle display different depending on whether the battle effect being executed is the battle effect A or the battle effect B. Regardless of whether the battle effect being executed is battle effect A or battle effect B, the subtitles are displayed in a specific color.

For example, when the subtitles are displayed while the advantageous display is being performed, if the battle effect being executed is the battle effect A, the subtitles are displayed by the subtitle image "Chance!" (For example, FIG. 7 (a3)). , When the battle effect being executed is the battle effect B, the subtitles are displayed by the subtitle image "Ikuzo!" (For example, FIG. 7 (b3)). On the other hand, regardless of whether the battle effect being executed is the battle effect A or the battle effect B, the subtitles are displayed in rainbow colors.

For example, the moving image played in the battle effect A and the moving image played in the battle effect B may be different. In such a case, a player who is not accustomed to the game may not be able to determine whether or not the video being played is an advantageous display. Regardless of whether the battle effect being executed is battle effect A or battle effect B, by displaying the subtitles during the advantageous display in rainbow colors, the advantageous display is performed by the color of the subtitle display. It will be easier to understand. Further, since the subtitle display is a display in characters, it becomes easy for the player to pay attention to the subtitle display. Therefore, the player can recognize that the advantageous display is performed, distinguishing it from other displays. As a result, it is possible to improve the interest of the game regarding the display of subtitles.

When the subtitle display is performed while the advantageous display is being performed, the sub control unit 91 makes the mode of the subtitle display different depending on which of the plurality of types of battle effects is being executed. Subtitles are displayed in a specific color regardless of which of the multiple types of battle effects is being executed. On the other hand, when the sub-control unit 91 displays the subtitles while performing the non-advantageous display, the mode of displaying the subtitles depends on which of the plurality of types of battle effects is being executed. On the other hand, regardless of which of the plurality of types of battle effects is being executed, the subtitles are displayed in a color different from the specific color (for example, a predetermined color).

For example, when the subtitles are displayed while the advantageous display is being performed, if the battle effect being executed is the battle effect A, the subtitles are displayed by the subtitle image "Done!" (For example, FIG. 2H). ), When the battle effect being executed is battle effect B, the subtitles are displayed by the subtitle image "Ike!" (For example, FIG. 3 (h)), while the battle effect being executed is battle effect A. The subtitles are displayed in rainbow colors regardless of whether the battle effect is B or not (for example, FIG. 2 (h) and FIG. 3 (h)).

On the other hand, when the subtitles are displayed while the non-advantageous display is being performed, if the battle effect being executed is the battle effect A, the subtitles are displayed by the subtitle image "No good" (for example, FIG. 2). (M)) If the ongoing battle effect is battle effect B, subtitles are displayed using the subtitle image "Don't" (for example, Fig. 3 (m)), while the ongoing battle effect is battle effect A. The subtitles are displayed in white regardless of whether the subtitles are displayed or the battle effect B (for example, FIG. 2 (m) and FIG. 3 (m)).

Further, when the subtitle display is performed before the specific timing, the sub control unit 91 changes the color of the subtitle display according to the ratio of the privilege being given. On the other hand, when the subtitle display is performed while the sub-control unit 91 is performing the advantageous display, the subtitle display is displayed in a predetermined color (for example, a specific color) without differentiating the color of the subtitle display. When the subtitles are displayed while the non-advantageous display is being performed, the subtitles are displayed in a color different from the specific color (for example, a predetermined color).

For example, when the subtitles are displayed before the specific timing, the color of the subtitles is different between white and blue according to the ratio of the privilege. On the other hand, when the subtitles are displayed while the advantageous display is being performed, the subtitles are displayed in rainbow colors without different colors of the subtitles (for example, FIGS. 2 (f) and 2 (h)). When subtitles are displayed while non-advantageous display is being performed, the subtitles are displayed in white (for example, FIG. 2 (m)). Specifically, it will be described later with reference to FIGS. 6 (d1) and 6 (d2). Hereinafter, in the present embodiment, white is determined as the predetermined color, except for the description using FIGS. 6 (d1) and 6 (d2).

In addition, the sub-control unit 91 can perform a chance-up display while the specific effect is being executed. The chance-up display is a display that makes the player expect the grant of benefits in the battle production. In the present embodiment, when the chance-up display is performed, the color of a part of the area of the battle effect image displayed when the chance-up display is not performed is changed to the expected color. For example, the expected color is red.

In addition, when the privilege is granted, the chance-up display is performed at a higher rate than when the privilege is not granted. When the subtitles are displayed during the period when the chance-up display is displayed, the subtitles are displayed in the expected color (red) different from the color of the subtitle display performed during the period when the chance-up display is not performed. The details of the chance-up display will be described later with reference to FIG.

In this way, when subtitles are displayed during the period when the chance-up display is expected to give the player a privilege, the subtitles are displayed in red, which is different from the color of the subtitle display during the period when the chance-up display is not performed. Therefore, it becomes easy for the player to understand that the chance-up display is being performed. As a result, it is possible to improve the interest of the game regarding the display of subtitles.

[Example of battle production A]
FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining an example of the battle effect A. In FIG. 2 (a), the normal display is performed, in FIGS. 2 (b) and after, the battle effect A is executed, in FIGS. 2 (f) to 2 (j), the advantageous display is performed, and in FIG. 2 (k). )-(O), it is shown that non-advantageous display is performed.

It is assumed that the normal state is currently controlled and the normal display is performed. As shown in FIG. 2A, the liquid crystal display 51 displays an image showing that the character is walking together with a background image of the city.

Next, when the above-mentioned predetermined conditions are satisfied, a lottery is conducted as to whether or not to grant the privilege. In addition, when a predetermined condition is satisfied, a lottery for whether or not to execute a specific effect is also performed. When the execution of the specific effect is decided, which of the battle effect A, the battle effect B, and the premier effect is executed is determined. Details will be described later with reference to FIG.

In the state of FIG. 3 (e), when the advantageous display is performed at a specific timing, the state transitions to the state of FIG. 3 (f), and when the non-advantageous display is performed, the transition to the state of FIG. 3 (k) occurs.

First, a case where advantageous display is performed will be described. In this example, it is assumed that the privilege A is given and the advantage is displayed.

When the specific timing is reached, the advantageous display is started. At this time, as shown in FIG. 3 (f), the video of the winning pattern in which the ally character A wins starts playing. First, the ally character A is convinced of victory, and the liquid crystal display 51 displays a large image displayed in the center of the screen while the ally character A emits light. At this time, the voice "Ikuzo!" Corresponding to the dialogue emitted by the ally character A is output from the speaker 53, and the rainbow-colored subtitle image "Ikuzo!" Corresponding to the voice is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. ..

Then, as the reproduction of the moving image of the victory pattern progresses further, as shown in FIG. 3 (g), an image in which the ally character A makes a final attack on the enemy character C is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Then, as shown in FIG. 3H, an image of the enemy character C attacked by the ally character A flying in the air is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. At this time, the voice "Ike" corresponding to the dialogue emitted by the ally character A who is convinced of victory is output from the speaker 53, and the rainbow-colored subtitle image "Ike" corresponding to the voice is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. ..

Then, as shown in FIG. 3 (i), the image of the enemy character C who flies in the air and is struck by the ground and becomes immobile is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. As a result, the ally character A defeats the enemy character C.

Next, as shown in FIG. 3 (j), the result notification is performed. In the result notification, the character image of "WIN" is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 because the ally character wins the enemy character. As a result, the grant of benefits is notified. The privilege given here is privilege A.

Next, a case where non-advantageous display is performed will be described. In this example, it is assumed that the granting of benefits has not been decided and non-advantageous display is performed.

When the specific timing is reached, the non-advantageous display is started. At this time, as shown in FIG. 3 (k), the reproduction of the moving image of the defeat pattern in which the ally character A is defeated starts. First, the enemy character C is convinced of victory, and the liquid crystal display 51 displays a large image displayed in the center of the screen while the enemy character C emits light.

In the result notification, the screen of the liquid crystal display 51 becomes dark (darkens) because the ally character is defeated by the enemy character. As a result, it is not notified that the privilege has been granted.

[Example of premier production and battle production A]
FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining an example of the premier production and the battle production A. 4 (a1) to 4 (a6) explain the premier effect, and FIGS. 4 (b1) to 4 (b6) explain the battle effect A.

As will be described later with reference to FIG. 6, when the subtitles are displayed in the battle effect, the color of the subtitles can be changed between white and blue according to the ratio of the privilege. On the other hand, when the subtitles are displayed in the premier production, the subtitles are displayed in a predetermined color (hereinafter, also referred to as "special color") without changing the color of the subtitle display. For example, the special color is gold. That is, when the subtitles are displayed in the premier production, the subtitles are always displayed in gold. The special color may be the same color as the specific color or the predetermined color, and the specific color may be the same color as the predetermined color.

In this way, in the premier production, the subtitles are displayed in one color without changing the color of the subtitle display, so that the player can easily understand that the premier production is being executed. As a result, it is possible to improve the interest of the game regarding the display of subtitles.

First, an example of premier production will be described. It is assumed that the normal state is currently controlled and the normal display is performed. As shown in FIG. 4A1, the liquid crystal display 51 displays an image showing that the character is walking together with a background image of the city.

Next, it is assumed that the execution of the premier production is decided by lottery. When the execution condition of the premier effect is satisfied, the premier effect is executed as shown in FIG. 4 (a2). An image in which stars can be seen in the sky is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

At the start of the premiere production, a premiere suggestion display is performed. The premier suggestion display is a display suggesting the execution of the premier production. The premier suggestion display is performed by displaying a premier suggestion image including the character image "premier".

When the premier suggestion display is completed, as shown in FIG. 4 (a3), an image showing the appearance of a girl character with a magic stick is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. From the speaker 53, the voice “Ikuyo!” Corresponding to the dialogue of the girl character is output from the speaker 53, and the golden subtitle image “Ikuyo!” Corresponding to the voice is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

As the premiere effect further progresses, as shown in FIG. 4A4, an image showing how the girl character approaches the star is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as shown in FIG. 4A5, an image in which a girl character casts magic on a star is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. At this time, the voice "Ei!" Corresponding to the dialogue emitted by the girl character is output from the speaker 53, and the golden subtitle image "Ei!" Corresponding to the voice is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

Then, when the magic is finished, as shown in FIG. 4A6, the character image of "confirmed" is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. As a result, the grant of privilege B is notified. The privilege given in the premiere production is only privilege B.

Next, an example of the battle effect A will be described. Since the contents of FIGS. 4 (b1) to 4 (b6) are the same as those of FIGS. 2 (a) to 2 (j), the details will be omitted.

In FIG. 4 (b1), the normal display is performed as in FIG. 4 (a1). Upon the decision to execute the battle effect A, the battle effect A is executed as shown in FIG. 3 (b2). At the start of the battle production A, the title of the battle production A is notified.

As the battle effect progresses, as shown in FIG. 4 (b3), an image in which the ally character A is attacking the enemy character B is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. At this time, the sound “Kurae!” Is output from the speaker 53, and the white subtitle image “Kurae!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

It is assumed that the battle production progresses further and the specific timing is reached. At this time, the advantageous display is started. As shown in FIG. 4 (b4), the video of the winning pattern in which the ally character A wins starts playing. The audio "chance!" Is output from the speaker 53, and the rainbow-colored subtitle image "chance!" Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

Further, as the reproduction of the moving image of the victory pattern progresses further, as shown in FIG. 4 (b5), an image of the enemy character B attacked by the ally character A flying in the air is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. At this time, the sound "done" is output from the speaker 53, and the rainbow-colored subtitle image "done" is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

When the ally character A defeats the enemy character B, as shown in FIG. 4 (b6), the result notification that the character image of "WIN" is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 is performed. As a result, the grant of benefits is notified. The privilege given here is A.

In this way, in the battle production, if the subtitles are displayed before the specific timing, the subtitles are displayed in white, and if the subtitles are displayed while the advantageous display is performed after the specific timing, the subtitles are displayed in rainbow. In contrast to the color, the subtitles are always displayed in gold in the battle production.

[Generation of images used for specific effects and subtitles displayed in specific effects]
FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining the generation of an image used for the specific effect and the subtitles displayed in the specific effect.

First, a method of generating an image used for a specific effect will be described. The liquid crystal display 51 displays the image C corresponding to the specific effect in the specific effect. The image C corresponding to the specific effect is composed of an image A (specific effect image) and an image B (subtitle image and subtitle background image) corresponding to the subtitle display.

Image data used in various effects is stored in ROM 91b included in the game machine 1. The ROM 91b stores the image data A used for displaying the image A and the image data B used for displaying the image B.

The image data A is data compressed at the first ratio. The image data B is uncompressed data or data compressed at a second ratio lower than the first ratio. By compressing the image file and storing it in the ROM 91b in this way, the capacity of the image file stored in the ROM 91b is reduced.

Hereinafter, a specific description will be given. For example, what is shown in FIG. 5A is an example of an image (image C) displayed when the battle effect A is executed, and is the same as that described with reference to FIG. 2C. The ROM 91b stores the image data A used for displaying the specific effect image (image A).

Further, as described above, the subtitle image is displayed together with the subtitle background image. In the present embodiment, the image (image B) in which the subtitle image is superimposed on the front side of the subtitle background image is stored in the ROM 91b. The ROM 91b stores the image data B used for displaying the image B.

The image data A is composed of a plurality of types of image data. Specifically, it is composed of N image data A1, A2, A3, ... AN. The image data B is also composed of a plurality of types of image data. Specifically, it is composed of M image data B1, image B2, image B3, ... BM. Examples of FIG. 5A are image data A1 and image data B1. The images displayed in FIGS. 5 (b) to 5 (d2) are also images generated from any of the image data A and the image data B.

In the present embodiment, if the lines of the subtitle image are the same but the colors are different, they are stored in the ROM 91b as different image data. In such a case, if the lines are the same even if the colors are different, the same image data may be stored in the ROM 91b. In this case, when the image data is read out, the color of the character portion may be changed. By doing so, the capacity of the image file stored in the ROM 91b can be reduced.

The sub-control unit 91 acquires the image data stored in the ROM 91b, processes the acquired image data, and generates an image to be displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. The generated image is displayed in the display area of the liquid crystal display 51. In the present embodiment, the display area of the liquid crystal display 51 refers to the entire display area of the liquid crystal display 51 shown in FIG. 1 (B).

For example, as shown in FIG. 5A, the ROM 91b stores the image data A1 used for displaying the image A1 and the image data B1 used for displaying the image B1. The image data A1 is data compressed at a compression rate A, and the image data B1 is uncompressed data. The sub-control unit 91 acquires the image data A1 and the image data B1 and processes them to generate the image C1 according to the battle effect. The liquid crystal display 51 displays the image C1 in the battle effect.

Character display If the image data used to display an image is excessively compressed, the characters will bleed or be crushed, making it difficult to recognize the characters. A method of storing the integrated image data C in the ROM 91 without separating the image data A and the image data B as described above is also conceivable. However, in this case, by compressing the image data C, the characters are blurred or crushed. By doing the above, the character display image becomes clear, and the player can easily recognize the characters in the subtitle display.

Next, the subtitles displayed in the specific effect will be described. 5 (b) describes the subtitles displayed in the premier production, and FIGS. 5 (c1) to 5 (c3) explain the subtitles displayed in the battle production A. FIG. 5 (d1) ~ (D3) describes the subtitles displayed in the battle effect B.

As described above, when the subtitle unit 91 displays the subtitles, the subtitle background display corresponding to the subtitle display is performed together with the subtitle display. The subtitle background display is performed by displaying the subtitle background image. The subtitle background image is, for example, a horizontally long rectangular image as shown in FIG. 5 (b).

The color of the subtitle background image is preferably a color that makes it easy to see the characters of the subtitle when the subtitle background is displayed together with the subtitle display, and is not confused with the character color of the subtitle. For example, in the present embodiment, since the subtitles are displayed in white, iridescent, red, blue, etc., the color of the subtitle background image may be black, gray, or the like that can be easily distinguished from these.

When displaying subtitles, the same subtitle background image is displayed regardless of the color of the subtitle display. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 2 (b) to 2 (d3), the same subtitle background image is displayed in the specific effect (premier effect, battle effect A, battle effect B).

Further, the subtitle display is displayed at a predetermined position in the display area of the liquid crystal display 51. The predetermined position is a position in the display area where the display heights are the same. The display height is a vertical position in the display area. For example, the subtitle background image may be displayed so that the lower end of the subtitle background image is located at a position separated by a predetermined distance upward from the lower end of the display area.

For example, in battle production A, there are cases where subtitles are displayed before a specific timing (FIG. 5 (c1)) and cases where characters are displayed during the period when chance-up display is being performed (FIG. 5 (c2)). ), The display height in the display area of the liquid crystal display 51 on which the subtitle display is displayed is the same as when the subtitle display is performed while the advantageous display is performed after the specific timing (FIG. 5 (c3)). is there. The same applies to battle production B.

Further, when the subtitles are displayed in the battle effect A, when the subtitles are displayed in the battle effect B, and when the subtitles are displayed in the premier effect, the display of the liquid crystal display 51 on which the subtitles are displayed is displayed. The display height in the area is the same.

Further, when the character display is performed during the period of the chance-up display, the liquid crystal display that displays the character display regardless of whether the battle effect being executed is the battle effect A or the battle effect B. The display height in the display area of 51 is the same.

Further, as described above, in the battle effects A and B, when the subtitles are displayed before the specific timing, the subtitles are displayed in a predetermined color (white), and the subtitles are displayed while the advantageous display is performed after the specific timing. When displaying, the subtitles are displayed in a specific color (rainbow color), and when the subtitles are displayed during the period when the chance-up display is performed, the subtitles are displayed in the expected color (red). In addition, when subtitles are displayed in the premiere production, the subtitles are displayed in a special color (gold). The predetermined color is a color that is basically used for subtitle display in the battle production. Hereinafter, the "predetermined color" is also referred to as "the color of the subtitle display in the battle production".

In addition, when the subtitles are displayed before the specific timing, the subtitles are displayed while the advantageous display is performed after the specific timing, and the subtitles are displayed during the period when the chance-up display is performed. In each case, the subtitle display is made different depending on whether the battle effect being executed is the battle effect A or the battle effect B.

For example, when subtitles are displayed before a specific timing, if the battle effect being executed is battle effect A, the subtitles are displayed by the subtitle image "Kurae!" (Fig. 5 (c1)), and the subtitles are displayed during execution. When the battle effect is battle effect B, the subtitles are displayed by the subtitle image "How is it!" (Fig. 5 (d1)), while the ongoing battle effect is either battle effect A or battle effect B. Regardless of this, the subtitles are displayed in white (FIGS. 5 (c1) and (d1)).

In the present embodiment, the special color is red and the subtitle display color (predetermined color) in the battle effect is white, but the present invention is not limited to this. As a modification A, the special color may be the same as the predetermined color. For example, the color of the subtitle display in the premier effect shown in FIG. 5B may be white, which is the color of the subtitle display in the battle effect. White is the color with the lowest expectation among the plurality of types of subtitle display colors. By doing so, the subtitle display is not conspicuous, so that the player's attention to the premier production can be increased.

Further, in the present embodiment, the special color is red, the subtitle display color (predetermined color) in the battle production is white, and the specific color is rainbow, but as a modification B, the special color is in the battle production. It may be different from the color of the subtitle display. Further, the special color may be the same color as the specific color. For example, the color of the subtitle display in the premier effect shown in FIG. 5B in the modification B may be a rainbow color different from the white color of the subtitle display in the battle effect A. In this case, the special color and the specific color are the same, and both are rainbow colors. By doing so, it is possible to make the player more strongly aware that the premier production is being executed.

The sub-control unit 91 changes the mode of the chance-up display depending on which of the plurality of types of battle effects is being executed. On the other hand, when the sub-control unit 91 displays the background during the period when the chance-up display is performed, the subtitle display is displayed in the expected color regardless of which of the plurality of types of battle effects is being executed. Do.

For example, as shown in FIGS. 5 (c2) and 5 (d2), the chance-up background described later is different depending on whether the battle effect being executed is the battle effect A or the battle effect B. On the other hand, the subtitles are displayed in red regardless of whether the battle effect being executed is the battle effect A or the battle effect B.

In the battle effect A of FIG. 5 (c2), the chance-up background in which the empty area above the Colosseum is displayed in red is displayed, whereas in the battle effect B of FIG. 5 (d2), the upper part of the horizon is displayed. The sky area excluding the clouds is displayed in red. The chance-up background is displayed.

[Bonus given in a specific production]
FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining the privilege given in the specific effect. 6 (a1) and 6 (a2) are the premier productions, FIGS. 6 (b1) to (b3) are the battle effects A, and FIGS. 6 (c1) to 6 (c3) are the benefits given in the battle effects B. is there. Further, FIGS. 6 (d1) and 6 (d2) explain the relationship between the predetermined color and the privilege.

The flow of FIGS. 6 (a1) and 6 (a2) is the same as that described with reference to FIGS. 4 (a1) to (a6), and the flow of FIGS. 6 (b1) to (b3) is described with reference to FIG. Since the flow of FIGS. 6 (c1) to 6 (c3) is the same as that described with reference to FIG. 3, the details will be omitted.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the privilege A and the privilege B are included in the privilege that can be given by the lottery performed when the predetermined condition is satisfied. If the predetermined conditions are met, the lottery determines whether or not to execute any of the premier effect, the battle effect A, and the battle effect B (the lottery determines whether or not the specific effect can be executed. ). Further, even when the execution of the specific effect is decided, the privilege may or may not be granted.

Benefit B has a higher advantage than privilege A. For example, when the game machine 1 is a slot machine, the privilege may be a bonus winning, an AT winning, or an additional winning, as described above. When the privilege is a bonus winning, the privilege A is the RB winning and the privilege B is the BB winning. BB has a higher advantage than RB because it pays out more sheets. When the privilege is AT winning, the number of AT games given at the time of AT winning is larger in privilege B than in privilege A. When the privilege is an additional winning, the number of AT games given at the time of the additional winning is larger in the privilege B than in the privilege A.

When the gaming machine 1 is a pachinko gaming machine, the privilege is the occurrence of a big hit. For example, privilege A is a jackpot in which the number of round games executed is two, and privilege B is a jackpot in which the number of round games executed is 16. Further, the privilege A may be a normal jackpot, and the privilege B may be a probabilistic jackpot. In any case, the privilege B has a higher advantage than the privilege A because the number of balls finally obtained is larger.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the grant of the privilege B is decided by the establishment of the predetermined condition, the ratio of the determination of the execution of the premier effect is higher than the ratio of the determination of the execution of the battle effect A. Whether or not the specific effect can be executed is determined by lottery so that the ratio at which the execution of the battle effect A is determined is higher than the ratio at which the execution of the battle effect B is determined. That is, the degree of expectation that the privilege B is given is higher in the order of premier production, battle production A, and battle production B.

In addition, when the grant of privilege A is decided by the establishment of a predetermined condition, the ratio of the execution of the battle effect A is determined to be higher than the ratio of the execution of the battle effect B determined by lottery. Whether or not the production can be executed is decided. That is, the degree of expectation that the privilege A is given is higher in the order of battle production A and battle production B. If it is decided to grant the privilege A, the premier production will not be executed.

In addition, if the grant of benefits is not decided due to the fulfillment of the predetermined conditions, the ratio of the execution of the battle effect B is determined to be higher than the ratio of the execution of the battle effect A determined by lottery. Whether or not the production can be executed is decided. That is, the rate at which the non-advantageous display is finally performed is higher in the battle effect B than in the battle effect A. If the grant of benefits is not decided, the premiere production will not be executed.

As described above, the execution of the premier production is determined only when the grant of the privilege B is determined. Therefore, when the premier production is executed, the privilege B, which has a higher advantage than the privilege A, is always granted (the grant of the privilege B is confirmed). Further, when the battle effect A or the battle effect B is executed, the privilege A or the privilege B may be given (the privilege may not be given).

In addition, when the premier production is executed, the grant of privilege B, which has a higher advantage than the privilege A, is confirmed, and when the battle production A is executed, the privilege A and the privilege A are higher than when the battle production B is executed. The rate at which privilege B is granted is high.

That is, the advantage (expectation) regarding the granting of the privilege suggested in the premier production is higher than the advantage regarding the granting of the privilege suggested in the battle production A, and the advantage regarding the granting of the privilege suggested in the battle production A. Is higher than the advantage regarding the granting of the privilege suggested in the battle production B. In other words, it can be said that the degree of expectation is higher in the order of premier production, battle production A, and battle production B.

As shown in FIG. 6A2, when the character image of "confirmed" is finally displayed in the premier production, the grant of privilege B is notified. As shown in FIG. 6 (b3), when the character image of "WIN" is finally displayed in the battle effect A, the grant of the privilege A or the privilege B is notified. As shown in FIG. 6 (c3), when the character image of "WIN" is finally displayed in the battle effect B, the grant of the privilege A or the privilege B is notified.

As described above, when the subtitles are displayed while the advantageous display is performed in the battle effects A and B, the privilege A or the privilege B is given. As shown in FIGS. 6 (b2) and 6 (c2), when the subtitles are displayed while the advantageous display is being performed, the subtitles are displayed regardless of whether the privilege to be granted is the privilege A or the privilege B. Do it in rainbow colors.

For example, if the color of the subtitle display during the advantageous display is changed according to the privilege to be given, the player who is not accustomed to the game cannot determine whether or not the video being played is the advantageous display. In some cases. Regardless of whether the privilege to be granted is privilege A or privilege B, by displaying the subtitles during the advantageous display in rainbow colors, it becomes easy to understand that the advantageous display is performed by the color of the subtitle display. .. Further, since the subtitle display is a display in characters, it becomes easy for the player to pay attention to the subtitle display. Therefore, the player can recognize that the advantageous display is performed, distinguishing it from other displays. As a result, it is possible to improve the interest of the game regarding the display of subtitles.

Next, the relationship between the predetermined color and the privilege will be described. In the present embodiment, when the execution of the battle effect (battle effect A or battle effect B) is determined by the lottery, the predetermined color is further determined by the lottery. There are multiple types of predetermined colors. For example, white or blue is determined as the predetermined color.

As described above, when the subtitles are displayed before the specific timing, the color of the subtitles (predetermined color) is different between white and blue according to the ratio of the privilege being given. Specifically, when the grant of privilege B is decided, the ratio of determining blue as the predetermined color is higher than when the grant of privilege A is decided, and when the grant of privilege A is decided, The rate at which blue is determined as the predetermined color is higher than when the grant of benefits is not determined. In other words, it can be said that the degree of expectation is higher in the order of blue subtitle display and white subtitle display.

For example, as shown in FIG. 6 (d1), when white is determined as the predetermined color, the subtitle is displayed in white when the subtitle is displayed before the specific timing. Further, as shown in FIG. 6 (d2), when blue is determined as the predetermined color, the subtitle is displayed in blue when the subtitle is displayed before the specific timing. When the subtitles are displayed while the advantageous display is being performed after a specific timing, the subtitles may be displayed in white or blue.

In this way, in the battle production, the subtitles are displayed in a plurality of types of colors before the specific timing, whereas the subtitles are displayed in one color while the advantageous display is performed after the specific timing, which is advantageous. It becomes easier for the player to understand that the display is being performed. As a result, it is possible to improve the interest of the game regarding the display of subtitles.

[Difference between Battle Production A and Battle Production B]
FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining the difference between the battle effect A and the battle effect B. 7 (a1) to 7 (a5) are for explaining the battle effect A, and FIGS. 7 (b1) to 7 (b5) are for explaining the battle effect B. The contents of FIGS. 7 (a1) to 7 (a5) are the same as those of FIGS. 2 (a) to 2 (j), and the contents of FIGS. 7 (b1) to (b5) are shown in FIGS. 3 (a) to 3 (j). Since it is the same as the content, details will be omitted.

First, the battle production A will be described. As shown in FIG. 7A, when the execution of the battle effect A starts, the title of the battle effect A is notified. As the battle effect progresses, a white subtitle image “Kurae!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as shown in FIG. 7 (a2).

When the specific timing is reached, the advantageous display is started. At this time, as shown in FIG. 7A3, the playback of the moving image of the winning pattern in which the ally character A wins starts. At this time, the rainbow-colored subtitle image "Chance!" Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

As the reproduction of the moving image of the victory pattern further progresses, as shown in FIG. 7A4, an image in which the ally character A makes a final attack on the enemy character B is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Then, when the ally character A finally defeats the enemy character B, the result notification is performed as shown in FIG. 7 (a5). A character image of "WIN" is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In this example, privilege A is given.

Next, the battle effect B will be described. As shown in FIG. 7 (b1), when the execution of the battle effect B starts, the title of the battle effect B is notified. As the battle effect progresses, a white subtitle image “How is it!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as shown in FIG. 7 (b2). Compared with the case of FIG. 7A2, the subtitle images are displayed in the same color (white), but the displayed contents are different.

When the specific timing is reached, the advantageous display is started. At this time, as shown in FIG. 7 (b3), the playback of the moving image of the winning pattern in which the ally character A wins starts. At this time, the rainbow-colored subtitle image "Ikuzo!" Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Compared with the case of FIG. 7A3, the subtitle images are displayed in the same color (rainbow color), but the displayed contents are different.

As the reproduction of the moving image of the victory pattern further progresses, as shown in FIG. 7 (b4), an image in which the ally character A makes a final attack on the enemy character C is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Then, when the ally character A finally defeats the enemy character C, the result notification is performed as shown in FIG. 7 (b5). In this example, privilege A is given.

In this example, in both the battle effect A and the battle effect B, the privilege A is given, but the same privilege may be given or different privilege may be given. Further, when applied to a slot machine, for example, AT may be given in the battle effect A, or an additional number of games may be added in the battle effect B.

[Chance up display]
FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining an example of the chance-up display. 8 (a1) to 8 (a4) explain the chance-up display when the battle effect A is executed, and FIGS. 8 (b1) to 8 (b4) explain the chance-up display when the battle effect B is executed. 8 (c1) and 8 (c2) show the execution timing of the chance-up display.

The contents of FIGS. 8 (a1) to 8 (a4) are the same as those of FIGS. 2 (a) to 2 (j), and the contents of FIGS. 8 (b1) to (b4) are shown in FIGS. 3 (a) to 3 (j). Since it is the same as the content of, the description thereof will be omitted in detail.

As described above, when the privilege is granted, the chance-up display is performed at a higher rate than when the privilege is not granted. For example, when a predetermined condition is satisfied, it is determined by lottery whether the chance-up display is performed from the timing A, the chance-up display is performed from the timing B, or the chance-up display is not performed. Timing B is a timing after timing A.

When the privilege is granted, the ratio of determining the chance-up display at timing B is higher than the ratio of determining the chance-up display at timing A, and the ratio of determining the chance-up display at timing A is The decision is made so that it is higher than the rate at which the chance-up display is not decided. In other words, it can be said that the degree of expectation is higher in the order of the chance-up display at timing B, the chance-up display at timing A, and no chance-up display.

First, a case where the battle effect A is executed will be described. As shown in FIG. 8 (a1), when the battle effect progresses and the subtitles are displayed before the specific timing, the white subtitle image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

Further, when the battle effect is advanced, if the chance-up display is not performed, the transition to FIG. 8 (a2) is performed, and if the chance-up display is performed, the transition to FIG. 8 (a3) is performed.

When the chance-up display is not performed, as shown in FIG. 8A2, a battle effect image with the Colosseum as the background is displayed. And the empty area above the Colosseum is shown in light blue.

On the other hand, when the chance-up display is performed, as shown in FIG. 8 (a3), the empty area above the Colosseum is changed to the battle effect image displayed in the expected color (red), and the battle effect image is displayed. Is displayed. The background of the area changed to the expected color in this way is called a chance-up background. This background image is referred to as a chance-up background image.

The chance-up display is executed over a predetermined period. When the subtitle is displayed during the period when the chance-up display is performed, the chance-up background image is displayed in an area different from the area where the subtitle image corresponding to the subtitle display is displayed. In the present embodiment, the "area different from the area where the subtitle image is displayed" means that when the player visually recognizes the chance-up background image and the subtitle image, they are not recognized as one. This means that the chance-up background image is displayed in an area (a position avoiding the subtitle image) that is sufficiently distant to identify.

In addition, when subtitles are displayed during the period of chance-up display, the subtitle image corresponding to the subtitle display is the same color as or similar to the color of the chance-up background image that can identify the chance-up display. Is displayed. In the present embodiment, the colors of the same system mean that when the player visually recognizes the chance-up background image and the subtitle image, the colors are close to each other as if they are similar to each other. .. For example, both colors are red and pink, which is close to red.

In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8A3, when the subtitles are displayed during the period during which the chances are increased, the subtitles are displayed in red, which is the same color as the chance-up background image. In this example, when the chance-up display ends, a specific timing is reached and the display switches to the advantageous display.

When the specific timing is reached, the advantageous display is started. At this time, as shown in FIG. 8A4, a rainbow-colored subtitle image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

Next, a case where the battle effect B is executed will be described. As shown in FIG. 8 (b1), when the battle effect progresses and the subtitles are displayed before the specific timing, the white subtitle image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

Further, when the battle effect is advanced, if the chance-up display is not performed, the transition to FIG. 8 (b2) is performed, and if the chance-up display is performed, the transition to FIG. 8 (b3) is performed. When the chance-up display is not performed, as shown in FIG. 8 (b2), a chance-up background image in which the sky area excluding the clouds above the horizon is the expected color (red) is displayed. Further, a white subtitle image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

On the other hand, when the chance-up display is performed, the chance-up background is displayed. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8 (b3), by displaying the chance-up background, the sky area excluding the clouds above the horizon is displayed in the expected color (red). Compared with the case of FIG. 8A3, the subtitle image is displayed in the same color (red), but the display mode of the chance-up display is different. In this example, when the chance-up display ends, a specific timing is reached and the display switches to the advantageous display.

When the specific timing is reached, the advantageous display is started. At this time, as shown in FIG. 8 (b4), a rainbow-colored subtitle image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

Next, the execution timing of the chance-up display will be described. The sub-control unit 91 can perform a chance-up display at any of a plurality of types of timings during the execution period of the battle effect.

For example, it may be executed at a timing before a specific timing or at a timing of switching to an advantageous display or a non-advantageous display. When the execution is performed at the timing of switching to the advantageous display or the non-advantageous display, the specific timing is set at the timing when the chance-up display ends, and the advantageous display or the non-advantageous display is performed.

The sub-control unit 91 changes the mode of the chance-up display according to the timing of the chance-up display, and when the subtitles are displayed during the period of the chance-up display, the chance-up display has a plurality of types of timings. Regardless of which one is used, the subtitles are displayed in the expected color.

In addition, when the subtitles are displayed during the period when the chance-up display is performed, the display height in the display area where the subtitles are displayed is different regardless of which of the multiple types of timings the chance-up display is performed. It is the same.

For example, as shown in FIG. 8 (c1), it is possible to display the chance up from the timing A in the execution period of the battle effect. The timing A is a timing before the specific timing. In this example, the chance-up background is displayed so that the empty area above the Colosseum is displayed in the expected color (red).

In addition, the subtitles are displayed in red. The chance-up display starting from the timing A is performed over the period A. The period A is the same as the period during which the ally character A is attacking the enemy character B when the chance-up display shown in FIGS. 2 (c) and 8 (a1) is not performed. That is, the replacement with the chance-up background image is performed during the period A during which the ally character A is attacking the enemy character B.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8C2, it is possible to display the chance up from the timing B in the execution period of the battle effect. The timing B is a timing for switching between the advantageous display and the non-advantageous display. In this example, by displaying the chance-up background, the sky area excluding the clouds above the horizon is displayed in the expected color (red), and images of a plurality of stars are displayed.

In addition, the subtitles are displayed in red. The chance-up display starting from the timing B is performed over the period B. The period B is the same as the period in which the ally character A and the enemy character B are confronting each other when the chance-up display shown in FIGS. 2 (e) and 8 (a2) is not performed. That is, the replacement with the chance-up background image is performed during the period B in which the ally character A and the enemy character B are confronting each other. The display height of the subtitle display in FIG. 8 (c2) is the same as the display height of the subtitle display in FIG. 8 (c1).

In this way, while the chance-up background (display mode) is different depending on the timing of the chance display, when the subtitles are displayed during the period when the chance is displayed, whether the chance-up display is performed from timing A or timing B. Subtitles are displayed in red regardless of whether or not they are performed from. Further, when the subtitles are displayed during the period during which the chance-up display is performed, the display height is the same regardless of whether the chance-up display is performed from the timing A or the timing B.

Further, as a modification, when the chance-up display of FIG. 8A2 is not performed, the subtitle display may not be performed. The speaker 53 can output any one of a plurality of types of predetermined voices including the voice “Kurae!” And the voice “Ikeike!”. In FIG. 8 (a1), the subtitles are displayed by the white subtitle image “Kurae” corresponding to the voice “Kurae!”. On the other hand, in FIG. 8 (a3) where the chance-up display is performed, the subtitle is displayed by the red subtitle image “Ikeike” corresponding to the voice “Ikeike”.

Further, the dialogue of the character A may be different depending on whether the chance-up display of FIG. 8 (a2) is not performed or the chance-up display of FIG. 8 (a3) is performed. For example, when the chance-up display is performed in FIG. 8A3, the subtitles may be displayed by the red subtitle image “fight” corresponding to the voice “fight”.

Further, the chance-up display is not limited to the one in which a part of the image is replaced with the chance-up background image, and the chance-up display is performed by interrupting the chance-up image A displayed in the entire area of the liquid crystal display 51. You can do it. For example, when the chance-up display is not performed, it is assumed that the moving image A in which the ally character A attacks the enemy character B is played for 10 seconds from the timing A. After playing the moving image for 5 seconds from the timing A, the chance-up image A may be displayed for 1 second, and then the moving image for the following 5 seconds may be played back. Alternatively, the chance-up image A may be displayed for 1 second after the moving image is played for 10 seconds from the timing A. In this case, when the reproduction of the moving image A is completed, an image prompting the player to operate the effect button may be displayed, and when the effect button is operated, the chance-up image A may be displayed.

[Example of application to slot machines and pachinko machines]
FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining an application example to a slot machine and a pachinko gaming machine. 9 (a1) to 9 (a5) show the case where the battle effect A is applied to the slot machine, and FIGS. 9 (b1) to 9 (b5) show the case where the battle effect A is applied to the pachinko machine. It is to explain. Since the flow of FIGS. 9 (a1) to 9 (a5) and 9 (b1) to (b5) is the same as the flow of FIGS. 2 (a) to 2 (j), the details thereof will be omitted.

First, a case where it is applied to a slot machine will be described. In FIG. 9 (a1), the normal display is performed. When a predetermined condition is satisfied (for example, winning a cherry), it is determined whether or not to execute a specific effect. Here, it is assumed that the execution of the battle effect A is decided. Then, for example, when a start operation (operation of the start switch) for starting the next game is performed, the battle effect A is executed as shown in FIG. 3A2.

The battle effect is executed over a plurality of games (for example, 4 games). When a predetermined number of games are exhausted and a start operation is performed to start the next game, as shown in FIG. 9A3, an image in which the ally character A is attacking the enemy character B is displayed on the liquid crystal display. It is displayed on 51. At this time, the sound “Kurae!” Is output from the speaker 53, and the white subtitle image “Kurae!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

It is assumed that the battle production progresses further and the start operation for starting the final game of the battle production is performed. For example, the timing at which the start operation is performed is a specific timing. As a result, the advantageous display is started. At this time, as shown in FIG. 9A4, the playback of the moving image of the winning pattern in which the ally character A wins starts. At this time, the voice "chance!" Is output from the speaker 53, and the rainbow-colored subtitle image "chance!" Corresponding to the voice is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

When the ally character A defeats the enemy character B, as shown in FIG. 9A5, the liquid crystal display 51 is notified of the result that the character image of "WIN" is displayed together with the ally character A. Then, the battle effect ends by performing the start operation for starting the next game. For example, when AT (the number of AT games) is given as a privilege, it is controlled by AT at the end of the battle effect.

Next, a case where it is applied to a pachinko gaming machine will be described. Whether or not to execute the specific effect is determined by the establishment of a predetermined condition (for example, winning a prize in the starting winning opening of the game ball). Here, it is assumed that the execution of the battle effect A is decided. The battle production is a reach production. For example, the reach effect A is executed as the battle effect A, and the reach effect B is executed as the battle effect B.

The reach effect is executed over a specified time (for example, 1 minute). For example, the battle effect A may have a longer time for the reach effect to be executed than the battle effect B. Further, in the reach production, the subtitle display is performed or the display is switched to the advantageous display with the passage of time. On the other hand, when applied to a slot machine, these switchings may be switched on condition of a start operation or a stop operation.

Currently, the normal display is performed, and it is assumed that a big hit is decided by winning a prize in the starting winning opening of the game ball. Then, it is assumed that the left symbol, the middle symbol, and the right symbol are displayed in a variable manner based on the determination of the jackpot. Further, it is assumed that the variable display of the left symbol and the right symbol is stopped and the reach state is reached. At this time, as shown in FIG. 9B, a large "4 ↓ 4" is displayed in the center of the screen of the liquid crystal display 51.

In the reach state, the battle effect A (reach effect A) is executed as shown in FIG. 9 (b2). When the battle effect A is executed, an image that can identify that a small variable display is being performed is displayed on the upper right of the screen of the liquid crystal display 51.

Then, when the time A elapses from the start of the battle effect A, as shown in FIG. 4 (b3), an image in which the ally character A is attacking the enemy character C is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. At this time, a white subtitle image is displayed along with the audio output.

Then, when the time B elapses from the start of the battle effect A, the specific timing is reached. As a result, the advantageous display is started. At this time, as shown in FIG. 9B4, the playback of the moving image of the winning pattern in which the ally character A wins starts. At this time, audio is output and a rainbow-colored subtitle image is displayed.

When the ally character A defeats the enemy character B, the fluctuation display stops. At that time, the image on the upper right of the screen is erased, and an image that can identify that the large fluctuation display is performed again is displayed in the center of the screen. In this example, the character image "444" that can identify the big hit with "444" is displayed.

Then, when the time C has elapsed from the start of the battle effect A, the result notification is performed. As shown in FIG. 9 (b5), the liquid crystal display 51 is notified of the result that the character image "444" is displayed together with the ally character A. Then, when the time D elapses from the start of the battle effect A, the battle effect A ends. At the same time, it is controlled to the jackpot game state.

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

(1-1) A gaming machine that plays a game (for example, a gaming machine 1 exemplified by a slot machine or a pachinko gaming machine).
A specific effect executing means (for example, a process in which the sub control unit 91 performs a specific effect) for executing a specific effect (for example, battle effect A, B) suggesting the granting of a privilege (for example, privilege A, privilege B) is provided.
The specific effect executing means is
When the privilege is granted, the specific display corresponding to the grant of the privilege (for example, the advantageous display shown in FIGS. 2 (f) to (j)) is displayed from the specific timing (for example, the specific timing shown in FIG. 2 (f)). On the other hand, when the privilege is not granted, a non-specific display different from the specific display (for example, the non-advantageous display shown in FIGS. 2 (k) to 2 (o)) is displayed at the specific timing (for example, FIG. 2 (k)). Start from the specific timing shown)
Character display (for example, subtitle display) can be performed in the specific effect.
When the character display is performed before the specific timing, the character display is performed in a color different from the specific color (for example, white) (for example, as shown in FIGS. 2C and 2E), the specific timing is displayed. If the subtitles are displayed before, the subtitles are displayed in white),
When the character display is performed while the specific display is being performed, the character display is performed in the specific color (for example, rainbow color) (for example, as shown in FIGS. 2 (f) and 2 (h), advantageous display. If you want to display subtitles while you are doing, display the subtitles in rainbow colors).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, the sub-control unit 91 executes a battle effect (battle effect A, B) suggesting the granting of the privilege (privilege A, privilege B). When the privilege is granted, the advantageous display (FIGS. 2 (f) to (j)) corresponding to the grant of the privilege is performed from a specific timing (FIG. 2 (f)), while the advantageous display is when the privilege is not granted. Different non-advantageous displays (FIGS. 2 (k) to (o)) are performed from a specific timing (FIG. 2 (k)). It is possible to display subtitles in battle production. As shown in FIGS. 2C and 2E, when the subtitles are displayed before the specific timing, the subtitles are displayed in white. As shown in FIGS. 2 (f) and 2 (h), when the subtitles are displayed during the advantageous display, the subtitles are displayed in rainbow colors.

For example, when playing a moving image showing an advantageous display, a player who is not accustomed to the game may not be able to determine whether or not the moving image is an advantageous display. When the subtitles are displayed while the advantageous display is being performed after a specific timing, it is easy to understand that the advantageous display is also performed depending on the color of the subtitle display by changing the subtitles to rainbow colors. Therefore, the player can recognize that the advantageous display is performed, distinguishing it from other displays. Further, since the subtitle display is a display in characters, it becomes easy for the player to pay attention to the subtitle display. As a result, it is possible to improve the interest of the game regarding the display of subtitles.

(1-2) The specific effect includes a first specific effect (for example, battle effect A) and a second specific effect (for example, battle effect B) (for example, FIGS. 2, 3 and 7).
When the character display is performed while the specific effect is being performed, the specific effect executing means depends on whether the specific effect being executed is the first specific effect or the second specific effect. While the character display is different, the character display is performed in the specific color regardless of whether the specific effect being executed is the first specific effect or the second specific effect (FIGS. 2 and 3). As shown in FIGS. 7 and 7, when the subtitles are displayed while the advantageous display is being performed, if the battle effect being executed is the battle effect A, the subtitles are displayed by the subtitle image "Chance!" a3)) If the battle effect being executed is battle effect B, the subtitles are displayed by the subtitle image "Ikuzo!" (Fig. 7 (b3)), while the battle effect being executed is battle effect A and. Subtitles are displayed in rainbow colors regardless of which of the battle effects B is used).

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 2, 3 and 7, the battle effect includes a battle effect A and a battle effect B. As shown in FIGS. 2, 3 and 7, when the subtitles are displayed while the advantageous display is being performed, if the battle effect being executed is the battle effect A, the subtitles are displayed by the subtitle image "Chance!". (Fig. 7 (a3)) When the battle effect being executed is battle effect B, the subtitles are displayed by the subtitle image "Ikuzo!" (Fig. 7 (b3)), while the battle effect being executed is The subtitles are displayed in rainbow colors regardless of whether the battle effect A or the battle effect B is used.

For example, the moving image played in the battle effect A and the moving image played in the battle effect B may be different. In such a case, a player who is not accustomed to the game may not be able to determine whether or not the video being played is an advantageous display. Regardless of whether the battle effect being executed is battle effect A or battle effect B, by displaying the subtitles during the advantageous display in rainbow colors, the advantageous display is performed by the color of the subtitle display. It will be easier to understand. Further, since the subtitle display is a display in characters, it becomes easy for the player to pay attention to the subtitle display. Therefore, the player can recognize that the advantageous display is performed, distinguishing it from other displays. As a result, it is possible to improve the interest of the game regarding the display of subtitles.

(1-3) The privilege includes a first privilege (for example, privilege A) and a second privilege (for example, privilege B) (for example, FIG. 6).
When the character display is performed while the specific display is being performed, the specific effect executing means displays the characters regardless of whether the privilege to be granted is the first privilege or the second privilege. (For example, as shown in FIG. 6B2), when the subtitles are displayed while the advantageous display is being performed, the privilege to be granted is either the privilege A or the second privilege B. Regardless, subtitles are displayed in rainbow colors).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, the privilege includes the privilege A and the privilege B. As shown in FIG. 6 (b2), when the subtitles are displayed during the advantageous display, the subtitles are displayed in rainbow colors regardless of whether the privilege to be granted is the privilege A or the privilege B. ..

For example, if the color of the subtitle display during the advantageous display is changed according to the privilege to be given, the player who is not accustomed to the game cannot determine whether or not the video being played is the advantageous display. In some cases. Regardless of whether the privilege to be granted is privilege A or privilege B, by displaying the subtitles during the advantageous display in rainbow colors, it becomes easy to understand that the advantageous display is performed by the color of the subtitle display. .. Further, since the subtitle display is a display in characters, it becomes easy for the player to pay attention to the subtitle display. Therefore, the player can recognize that the advantageous display is performed, distinguishing it from other displays. As a result, it is possible to improve the interest of the game regarding the display of subtitles.

(1-4) A display means for displaying an image (for example, a liquid crystal display 51) and
Further provided with a storage means (for example, ROM 91b) for storing image data,
In the specific effect, the display means displays an image corresponding to the specific effect (for example, the image C1 shown in FIG. 5A).
The images corresponding to the specific effect are a specific image (for example, an image A1 displayed using the image data A1) and a character display image corresponding to the character display (for example, an image displayed using the image data B1). Consists of B1)
The storage means stores specific image data (for example, image data A1) used for displaying the specific image and character display image data (for example, image data A2) used for displaying the character display image.
The specific image data is data compressed at the first ratio (for example, compression ratio A).
The character display image data is data that is not compressed or is compressed at a second ratio (for example, no compression) lower than the first ratio.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5A, the liquid crystal display 51 displays the image C1 corresponding to the battle effect in the battle effect. The image C1 corresponding to the battle effect is composed of an image A1 displayed using the image data A1 and an image B1 which is an image corresponding to the subtitle display and is displayed using the image data B1. The ROM 91b stores the image data A1 used for displaying the image A1 and the image data B1 used for displaying the image B1. The image data A1 is data compressed at a compression rate A, and the image data B1 is uncompressed data. Character display If the image data used to display the image is excessively compressed, the characters will be blurred or crushed, making it difficult to recognize the characters. By doing so, the character display image becomes clear, and the player can easily recognize the characters in the subtitle display.

(1-5) Further provided with sound output means (for example, speaker 53) for outputting sound,
The sound output means outputs a predetermined sound (for example, the sound “Kurae!” Shown in FIG. 2A) according to the progress of the specific effect.
The character display is a display corresponding to the predetermined voice (for example, FIG. 2A).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2A, the speaker 53 outputs the voice “Kurae!” As the battle effect progresses. The subtitle display is a display of the subtitle image "Kurae!" Corresponding to the voice "Kurae!". By doing so, the content of the voice "Kurae!" Output as the predetermined voice can be easily understood.

(1-6) The specific effect executing means corresponds to one of the predetermined voices (for example, the voice “Ikeike!” Shown in FIGS. 8 (a2) and 8 (a3)), and is among a plurality of types of modes. It is possible to display the characters by either of them (for example, FIGS. 8 (a2) and 8 (a3)).

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 8 (a2) and 8 (a3), subtitles can be displayed by using a white or red subtitle image "Ikeike!" In response to one voice "Ikeike!". It is possible. By doing so, it is possible to make various display effects.

(1-7) The specific effect executing means is the character in any one of a plurality of types including the first aspect (for example, the subtitle image is white) and the second aspect (for example, the subtitle image is red). It is possible to display,
The sound output means outputs any one of a plurality of types of predetermined voices including a first predetermined voice (for example, voice “Kurae!”) And a second predetermined voice (for example, voice “Ikeike!”). It is possible to
The specific effect executing means is
The character display is performed in the first aspect corresponding to the first predetermined voice (for example, FIG. 8 (a1) in the modified example).
The character display is performed in the second aspect corresponding to the second predetermined voice (for example, FIG. 8A3 in a modified example).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8, it is possible to display subtitles using white or red subtitle images. The speaker 53 can output any one of a plurality of types of predetermined voices including the voice “Kurae!” And the voice “Ikeike!”. As shown in FIG. 8 (a1) in the modified example, the subtitles are displayed by the white subtitle image "Kurae" corresponding to the voice "Kurae!". As shown in FIG. 8 (a3) in the modified example, the subtitles are displayed by the red subtitle image “Ikeike” corresponding to the voice “Ikeike!”. By doing so, it becomes easy for the player to understand that the voice "Ikeike!" Output as the second predetermined voice is output.

(1-8) The specific effect executing means is
In the specific production
When the privilege is granted, the specific display (for example, FIGS. 2 (f) to (j)) corresponding to the grant of the privilege is performed from the specific timing (for example, FIGS. 2 (f), 6 (b2)). On the other hand, when the privilege is not granted, a non-specific display (for example, FIGS. 2 (k) to (o)) different from the advantageous display is performed from the specific timing.
When the character display is performed before the specific timing, the color of the character display is changed according to the ratio to which the privilege is given (for example, FIGS. 6 (d1) and 6 (d2)).
When the character display is performed while the specific display is being performed, the character display is performed in the specific color (for example, FIGS. 2 (f) and 2 (h)).

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 6, in the battle production, when the privilege is given, the advantageous display (FIGS. 2 (f) to (j)) corresponding to the grant of the privilege is specified at a specific timing (FIG. 2). On the other hand, when the privilege is not given, the non-advantageous display (FIGS. 2 (k) to (o)) different from the advantageous display is performed from the specific timing (FIG. 2 (k)), and the timing is higher than the specific timing. When the subtitles are displayed before, the colors of the subtitles are different between white and blue according to the ratio of the benefits given (Fig. 6 (d1), (d2)), and the advantageous display is performed after a specific timing. When the subtitles are displayed while the subtitles are displayed, the subtitles are displayed in rainbow colors (FIGS. 2 (f) and 2 (h)).

In this way, in the battle production, the subtitles are displayed in a plurality of types of colors before the specific timing, whereas the subtitles are displayed in one color while the advantageous display is performed after the specific timing, which is advantageous. It becomes easier for the player to understand that the display is being performed. As a result, it is possible to improve the interest of the game regarding the display of subtitles.

(1-9) The specific effect executing means is
In the specific production
When the privilege is granted, the specific display (for example, FIGS. 2 (f) to (j)) corresponding to the grant of the privilege is performed from the specific timing (for example, FIGS. 2 (f), 6 (b2)). On the other hand, when the privilege is not granted, a non-specific display (for example, FIGS. 2 (k) to (o)) different from the specific display is performed from the specific timing.
When the character display is performed before the specific timing, the color of the character display is changed according to the ratio to which the privilege is given (for example, FIGS. 6 (d1) and 6 (d2)).
When the character display is performed while the non-specific display is performed, the character display is performed in a color different from the specific color (FIGS. 2 (f) and 2 (h) in the modified example).

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 6 in the modified example, when the privilege is given, the advantageous display (FIGS. 2 (f) to (j)) corresponding to the grant of the privilege is specified in the battle production. While performing from the timing (FIG. 2 (f)), when the privilege is not given, the non-advantageous display (FIGS. 2 (k) to (o)) different from the advantageous display is performed from the specific timing (FIG. 2 (k)). When the subtitles are displayed before the specific timing, the colors of the subtitles are different between white and blue according to the ratio of the benefits given (FIGS. 6 (d1) and (d2)), and the advantageous display is performed. When the subtitles are displayed while the subtitles are displayed, the subtitles are displayed in white (FIGS. 2 (f) and 2 (h) in the modified example).

In this way, in the battle production, the subtitles are displayed in a plurality of types of colors before the specific timing, whereas the subtitles are displayed in one color while the non-advantageous display is performed after the specific timing. It becomes easier for the player to understand that the non-advantageous display is performed. As a result, it is possible to improve the interest of the game regarding the display of subtitles.

(1-10) The specific effect executing means is
It is possible to execute multiple types of the specific effects,
