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

The gaming machine 1 includes a gaming board 90. The game board 90 is formed of a substantially square plywood, and the guide rail 903 constituting the passage for guiding the game ball launched by the operation of the launch device 908 (launch handle) to the game area 902 has a substantially arc shape. It is provided as follows. The game area 902 is provided with a starting area 904, a large winning area 906, an out port 907, and the like.

The display area 911 of the display device 91 is visually recognized through the opening 901 formed in the game board 90. In some figures, the shape of the display area 911 exposed without being covered by the game board 90 is simplified (described in the square shape), but the size and shape of the portion can be changed as appropriate. be.

Further, in the game area 902, a plurality of game nails are provided as obstacles that change the flow mode of the game ball by colliding with the game ball flowing down. The game ball flowing down the game area 902 changes in various modes depending on the conditions when it collides with the game nail.

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

2) Playability (game nature)
2-1) Hit lottery A numerical value (hereinafter, also referred to as lottery information) is acquired from a random number source triggered by the entry of a game ball into the start area 904. A winning lottery is executed using the numerical value. If the value is the same as the predetermined winning value, it will be a hit, and if it is different, it will be a deviation. In this embodiment, two types of hits (types), a big hit and a small hit, are set. In other words, if the numerical value obtained from the random number source is the same as the jackpot numerical value, it is a big hit, and if it is the same as the small hit numerical value, it is a small hit (otherwise it is out of the question).

In the present embodiment, the first starting area 904a and the second starting area 904b (specific starting area) located at a position different from the first starting area 904a are provided as the starting area 904 (see FIG. 1). .. The first lottery information is acquired when the game ball enters the first starting area 904a, and the first lottery (special drawing 1 lottery) is executed based on the first lottery information. The second lottery information (specific lottery information) is acquired when the game ball enters the second start area 904b, and the second lottery (special figure 2 lottery; specific lottery) is executed based on the second lottery information (specific lottery information).

If the jackpot is won, the jackpot game is executed. The jackpot game is a unit game (a so-called one "round" game in which the big prize area 906 (closed in the normal state) is opened until a predetermined condition is satisfied. In the following description, it is referred to as a "round". There is also) is repeated once or multiple times. In the present embodiment, the unit game ends when either the winning condition in which 10 game balls are won in the large winning area 906 or the time condition in which a predetermined time elapses is satisfied (the large winning area 906 is closed). do. As the number of unit games (number of rounds) included in the jackpot game increases, the profit (expected value of profit) of the player obtained in the jackpot game increases. In the present embodiment, the large winning area 906 is provided on the right side of the game area 902, and the player plays a game so that the game ball enters the right side of the game area 902 (so-called "right-handed").

If the small hit is won, the small hit game is executed. In the small hit game, the privilege area 10 (closed in the normal state) (see FIG. 1) is opened. When the game ball enters the privilege area 10, a jackpot game (privilege game) is executed. That is, not only can a big hit be won by lottery, but also a big hit can be obtained via a small hit (in order to obtain a big hit, one game ball may enter the privilege area 10). The privilege area 10 is also a prize area in which a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out when the game balls enter. In addition, the small hit game is treated as a unit game for one round. For example, in the case of winning a 9-round jackpot (a jackpot in which a unit game is executed 9 times) via a small hit, the privilege area 10 is opened as the first round game, and the big prize area 906 is opened. What is done is executed as a game (privilege game) in the 2nd to 9th rounds. If no game ball has entered the privilege area 10 in the first round, the games in the second to ninth rounds are not executed. In other words, you can't get a big hit (via a small hit). The privilege area 10 may be provided inside the large prize area 906. In this case, when a small hit is won, the large winning area 906 is opened and the privilege area 10 provided inside the large winning area 10 is opened.

In the present embodiment, the time during which the privilege area 10 is opened when a small hit is won is secured sufficiently long for the game ball to enter the privilege area 10. The privilege area 10 is provided on the right side of the game area 902, and the player makes a right-handed strike in order to allow the game ball to enter the privilege area 10. The game ball enters the area 10. When the small hit is won, the display area 911 is instructed to execute a right-handed hit, so that the player only has to follow it. Even if the right-handed strike is started 10 seconds after the instruction is given, the game ball is set to enter the privilege area 10 almost certainly. As described above, in the present embodiment, the setting is substantially "small hit winning = big hit winning" (small hit winning leads to big hit acquisition).

2-2) The decorative symbol lottery result is notified by the decorative symbol 80 displayed in the display area 911. In the present embodiment, three decorative symbol groups 80 g, each including a plurality of types of decorative symbols 80, are set. Specifically, the left decorative symbol group 80 gL displayed on the left side of the display area 911, the right decorative symbol group 80 gR displayed on the right side, and the medium decoration displayed between the left decorative symbol group 80 gL and the right decorative symbol group 80 gR. There are three symbol groups of 80 gC. The lottery result is notified by the combination of the three decorative symbols 80 selected and displayed from each decorative symbol group 80 g. The effect from the start of the fluctuation of the three decorative symbol groups 80 g until the variation is stopped and the combination indicating the lottery result is displayed is the notification effect (effect for one variation). In some drawings, the decorative design 80 is omitted.

In addition, a symbol other than the decorative symbol 80 (separate symbol; not shown) may be displayed. For example, in the present embodiment, as will be described later, at the time of winning a small hit and at the time of winning a big hit, three sets of decorative symbols 80 of the same type are displayed (depending on the combination of the decorative symbols 80, the small hit and the big hit can be distinguished. However, the mode of the different symbols may be different between when the big hit is won and when the small hit is won (whether the big hit is won or the small hit is won can be distinguished by another symbol). The separate symbol may be one displayed in the display area 911 or may be displayed outside the display area 911 (a lighting pattern of a lamp or the like displayed outside the display area 911).

2-3) When a game ball enters the hold start area 904 and new lottery information is acquired, when a notification effect corresponding to the lottery information acquired earlier is executed (decorative symbol 80). The new lottery information is stored in the storage means (not shown) as hold information (hold). In the present embodiment, the maximum number of stored first hold information (special figure 1 hold) acquired as the first lottery information is four, and the second lottery information acquired as the second lottery information (special figure 2 hold) is the second. The maximum number of stored information on hold is two.

The reserved information stored in the storage means may be displayed as the reserved symbol 70. The first reserved information is displayed as the first reserved symbol, and the second reserved information is displayed as the second reserved symbol. The first reserved symbol is displayed in the normal gaming state (the second reserved symbol may not be displayed in the normal gaming state). The second reserved symbol is displayed in the specific gaming state (the first reserved symbol may not be displayed in the specific gaming state). In drawings other than FIG. 2, the reserved symbol 70 is not shown.

Further, although not shown, a reserved symbol corresponding to the lottery result for which the notification effect is currently being executed (so-called reserved symbol of the change) may be displayed.

When both the first hold information and the second hold information exist in the storage means, the notification of the lottery result based on the second hold information (second lottery information) is prioritized. That is, the gaming machine according to the present embodiment is the so-called special figure 2 priority digestion.

2-4) Game state A normal game state and a specific game state (so-called time-saving state) are set as a game state in which a player plays with the aim of winning a big hit (FIGS. 3 (a), 4 and 4). 5). The normal gaming state is a state in which the gaming ball should be launched aiming at the first starting region 904a. The first starting area 904a is provided at a position where a game ball flowing down on the left side of the game area 902 can enter. That is, the normal game state is a state in which the player is encouraged to play a left-handed game (a left-handed game should be performed) (a game ball does not enter the first starting area 904a in a right-handed game), and after the first lottery. We are aiming to win a big hit. The first lottery is a lottery in which the result is a big hit or a miss. That is, no small hit occurs as a result of the first lottery. The jackpot probability (the jackpot probability of the first lottery) in the normal gaming state is about 1 / 319.8. Other than that, it is out of order (see FIG. 3 (b)). That is, the normal game state is a state in which a big hit cannot be obtained via a small hit. Although a small hit may be generated as a result of the first lottery, the small hit prevents the game ball from entering the privilege area 10. For example, when a small hit is won in the first lottery, the opening time of the privilege area 10 is extremely short, and there is almost no possibility that the game ball enters the privilege area 10.

When the result of the first lottery is a big hit, the big hit winning is notified by the same three decorative symbols 80. If it is out of order, other combinations are displayed.

The specific gaming state is a state in which the gaming ball should be launched aiming at the second starting area 904b. The second starting area 904b is provided at a position where a game ball flowing down on the right side of the game area 902 can enter. That is, the specific game state is a state in which the player should play a right-handed game (the game ball does not enter the second starting area 904b in the left-handed field), and the player aims to win a big hit through the second lottery (Fig.). 3 (a)). The second lottery is a lottery in which the result is a big hit or a small hit. That is, no loss occurs as a result of the second lottery. The jackpot probability in the specific gaming state (the jackpot probability of the second lottery) is about 1 / 319.8, which is the same as the jackpot probability in the normal gaming state. Other than that, it is a small hit (that is, the small hit probability is about 318.8 / 319.8) (see FIG. 3 (b)).

When the result of the second lottery is a small hit or a big hit, the three decorative symbols 80 are the same, so that it is notified that the small hit or the big hit has been won (FIGS. 4 (c) and 5 (FIG. 5). a), see FIG. 5 (b)). In reality, the setting is "small hit win = big hit win", so even if the small hit is won, the player can see as if the big hit was won. In the present embodiment, since no loss occurs as a result of the second lottery (a small hit or a big hit), the decorative symbol 80 selected at the time of the small hit winning can be distinguished from the small hit winning and the big hit winning. And the type of the decorative symbol 80 selected at the time of winning the jackpot are set differently. In the present embodiment, when the big hit is won, the three sets of the decorative symbols 80 of "7" are displayed, and when the small hit is won, the three sets of the other decorative symbols 80 are displayed. Since the small hit or the big hit is guaranteed, the result of the second lottery is not notified by the decorative symbol 80 (the result is notified by another symbol displayed inconspicuously). good.

In the initial state (power ON state), it is in the normal gaming state. As the jackpots (first jackpots) that can be won in the first lottery in the normal game state, the first normal jackpot and the first specific jackpot are set. The first normal jackpot is a jackpot in which the gaming state after the jackpot game ends becomes the normal gaming state. The first specific jackpot is a jackpot in which the gaming state after the jackpot ends becomes the specific gaming state. The number of unit games (number of rounds) for each jackpot may be anything. A jackpot with a different number of rounds may be set as the first normal jackpot, or a jackpot with a different number of rounds may be set as the first specific jackpot. The jackpot distribution when a jackpot is won in the first lottery can be set as appropriate. In the present embodiment, the first normal jackpot is 45% and the first specific jackpot is 55% (see FIG. 3C). If the first specific jackpot is won, the player will shift to a specific gaming state that is advantageous to the player (more advantageous than the normal gaming state) after the jackpot game ends, and the probability of shifting to the specific gaming state is 55. It means that it is%. The distribution ratio of the first specific jackpot may be set to 100% (a configuration in which the first normal jackpot is not set), but as will be described in detail later, the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment is in a specific gaming state. It is a game that you can get a certain profit (a certain amount of balls) by shifting to, but in order to set the "hurdle" that should be cleared in order to shift to that state, the first specific jackpot It is preferable that the distribution ratio is less than 100% (even if the first jackpot is won, the setting does not always shift to a state where a predetermined profit can be obtained).

If the first specific jackpot is won, the game shifts to the specific game state after the jackpot game is completed (see FIG. 4A). In the specific gaming state, the player plays a right-handed game (a display prompting the right-handed game is made in the display area 911). A normal starting area 905 (see FIG. 1) is provided on the right side of the game area 902. The normal lottery (normal symbol lottery) is executed when the player enters the normal start area 905. The second starting area 904b (which is normally closed) is opened when the lottery is won. The probability of winning a normal lottery in a specific gaming state is extremely high (100% or close to 100%). Therefore, if the player hits right, the second starting area 904b is easily opened, and the game ball enters the second starting area 904b. That is, if the game is performed as instructed, the second lottery is executed. Since it is set not to win the normal lottery in the normal game state (the winning probability is 0%), the game ball enters the second starting area 904b even if the player hits right in the normal game state. There is no. If the setting is such that the player is disadvantaged when hitting right in the normal game state compared to the case of hitting left, as a setting that may win the normal lottery even in the normal game state. May be good.

The specific gaming state ends on condition that the result of one second lottery is notified. That is, it is a so-called "time reduction number N = 1" setting. Note that the notification of the result of the first lottery executed after the specific game state is started is not counted in the number of time reductions. That is, as a result of the fact that the second hold information does not exist and the first hold information exists at the time when the specific game state is started, even if the notification effect of the first lottery result is executed, the specific game state is changed accordingly. Does not end. In other words, basically, the specific gaming state does not end unless the player makes a right-handed hit and the game ball enters the second starting area 904b after shifting to the specific gaming state. However, although it is extremely rare, when the result of the first lottery based on the first hold information that existed at the time when the specific gaming state is started becomes a big hit (when the winner is about 1 / 319.8). Will perform a jackpot game. If the jackpot is the first normal jackpot, it shifts to the normal gaming state after the jackpot game ends, and if it is the first specific jackpot, it shifts to the specific gaming state after the jackpot game ends. When the first lottery is executed in the specific game state and the first big hit is won, the setting may be set to shift to the specific game state without exception after the big hit game is completed.

As described above, in the specific gaming state, the gaming ball enters the second starting area 904b if the player strikes right continuously to some extent. The maximum number of stored second reserved information is "2". The specific game state does not end from the start of the specific game state until the end of the first notification effect on the second lottery result. That is, since the specific gaming state ends when the first notification effect ends, the first notification effect is the "final notification effect" (of the specific game state). The time required for the final notification effect (variable time of the final notification effect) is long enough to acquire the two second hold information (the special figure 2 hold stored in the storage means is filled up). It is said that. In other words, if you are continuously right-handed, a total of three second lottery information (lottery result corresponding to the final notification effect + lottery result corresponding to two special figure 2 hold) will be acquired. (See FIG. 4 (b)).

The second lottery is executed when the game ball enters the second starting area 904b in the specific game state. As mentioned above, the result of the second lottery will be a big hit or a small hit (no loss). Since a small hit leads to a big hit (substantially "small hit = big hit"), the fact that a total of three second lottery information is acquired by shifting to a specific gaming state means that at least a total of three It means that the jackpot is guaranteed.

The second normal jackpot and the second specific jackpot are set as the jackpots (second jackpots) that can be obtained in the second lottery. The second normal jackpot is a jackpot in which the gaming state after the jackpot game ends becomes the normal gaming state. The second specific jackpot is a jackpot in which the gaming state after the jackpot ends becomes the specific gaming state.

In the present embodiment, the distribution of the second jackpot is 82% for the second normal jackpot and 18% for the second specific jackpot (see FIG. 3C). The distribution is when the second lottery becomes a big hit (so-called "direct hit"), when the second lottery becomes a small hit and the game ball enters the privilege area 10 and becomes a big hit (via small hit). It is the same regardless of the case of the jackpot).

Even if the second normal jackpot is won and the normal game state is entered after the jackpot game is completed, if the second hold information is stored in the storage means, the second lottery based on the second hold information is executed. Therefore, the big hit or the small hit is always won (regardless of the normal gaming state or the specific gaming state, the result of the second lottery is the big hit or the small hit, and there is no loss). In other words, you can get big hits via direct hits or small hits. For example, if the jackpot acquired in the first second lottery (the second lottery corresponding to the final notification effect) after shifting to the specific game state is the second normal jackpot, the normal jackpot is normal after the game is completed. The transition to the gaming state (see FIGS. 3 (a), 4 (c), and 5 (a)) is one of a total of two second hold information stored in the storage means. If the jackpot acquired in the corresponding second lottery is the second specific jackpot (when the second specific jackpot is acquired in the branch of FIGS. 5A and 5B), after the jackpot game is completed. It will shift to the specific gaming state (see FIG. 4A) (immediately "return" to the specific gaming state). When a new game state is entered, the second hold information (maximum "2") can be filled. Therefore, substantially, when the second normal jackpot is obtained three times in a row (the case where the second normal jackpot is obtained at the branch of FIG. 4 (c), FIG. 5 (a), and FIG. 5 (b)). ) Will fall into the normal gaming state (shift to the left-handed state aiming for a big hit in the first lottery) (see FIG. 3A). To put it more simply, by shifting to a specific gaming state, the player is given a "three times right" that is a hit (in the sense of shifting to a specific gaming state) at a rate of 18%. If you win 18% in any of the times, you will be granted the "three times right" again (the game nature of the jackpot "three times loop" (one set of three times)). (See FIG. 3 (a)). In this embodiment, the probability of winning the second normal jackpot three times in a row is about 55 after the specific game state is newly transferred (after the new "three times right" is granted). %. That is, when the player newly shifts to the specific gaming state and is granted the "three times right", there is a probability of about 45% that the player shifts to the specific gaming state again and the "three times right" is granted.

In the present embodiment, when the first second lottery (the second lottery corresponding to the final notification effect) after shifting to the specific gaming state becomes a normal jackpot, the game shifts to the normal gaming state after the jackpot game ends. (See FIGS. 3A and 5A), but at least until the notification of the second lottery for the remaining two times is completed, it is assumed that the game is displayed as if it is in a specific gaming state. do. That is, until all the second hold information is digested, even if the game internally shifts to the normal gaming state, the player is shown as if it is in the specific gaming state. For example, if the name "○○ chance" is set for the specific game state, the image indicating that the "○○ chance" is in progress is displayed in the display area until all the second pending information is exhausted. It is displayed in 911 (see FIGS. 5 (a) and 5 (b)). That is, a unique image (specific image 20) that can be displayed only when the state shifts to the specific gaming state (it is not displayed in the normal gaming state) is prepared, and the specific image 20 is the specific gaming state. Not only during the final notification effect executed in, but also during the notification effect of the lottery result corresponding to the second hold information (second lottery information) executed in the normal gaming state. As a result, even when the player actually shifts to the normal gaming state, it seems to the player that the specific gaming state (a state advantageous to the player) continues.

In the present embodiment, since the maximum number of stored information M = 2 of the second reserved information in the storage means, the playability of the "three-time loop" (the "three-time right" can be acquired) is achieved. By increasing the maximum number of storages, the number of loops will increase. If M = 3, the playability is "four loops", and if M = 4, the playability is "five loops". Further, if M = 1, the playability of "twice loop" is obtained. However, in light of the fact that the playability of the "double loop" can be easily realized by a general so-called probabilistic loop machine (a probabilistic state continues as long as the probability fluctuation jackpot is won). , M = 2 or more, and it can be said that it is preferable to have a playability that cannot be realized by a general probabilistic loop machine.

As described above, when the second lottery is executed, the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment enables a jackpot (a jackpot via a direct hit or a small hit) to be acquired as a result and can be stored in a storage means. This is to realize a novel and interesting playability in which a jackpot loops according to the maximum number of second reserved information.

Hereinafter, specific examples in which the matters relating to the playability of the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment have been improved, modified, and embodied will be described. In addition, as long as possible, a configuration may be configured in which a plurality of items described using the following specific examples are applied.

○ First specific example All the second jackpots (regardless of whether they are the second normal jackpot or the second specific jackpot) are set so that the number of unit games (number of rounds) is the maximum jackpot (maximum round jackpot). Specifically, regarding the number of rounds, on the premise that two or more types of jackpots are set, the second jackpot is set to maximize the number of rounds. For example, if a configuration is set in which a 3-round jackpot, a 7-round jackpot, and a 9-round jackpot are set, the second jackpot (second normal jackpot, second specific jackpot) is all 9-round jackpot. If the "three times loop" is set as in the above embodiment, the max round jackpot can be obtained at least three times when the game shifts to the specific gaming state. By doing so, it is possible to realize a playability in which the profit obtained by the player when the player shifts to the specific gaming state (the profit guaranteed by acquiring at least three big hits) is increased.

○ Second specific example Unlike the first specific example above, the number of rounds for the second jackpot is not constant. For example, a configuration in which a 3-round jackpot, a 7-round jackpot, and a 9-round jackpot are set, and a jackpot of any number of rounds can be won as a second jackpot (second normal jackpot, second specific jackpot). By doing so, the profit obtained by the player when the player shifts to the specific gaming state (the profit obtained by acquiring at least three big hits) will change significantly each time. In the above example, it is the best case for the player that all three jackpots are 9 round jackpots, and the worst case for the player that all three jackpots are 3 round jackpots. It becomes playful.

Further limiting the above configuration, it is determined that the second jackpot, which is the maximum number of rounds, is the second specific jackpot (in the above example, the second jackpot in nine rounds may be the second specific jackpot. It may be set (confirm). By doing so, the joy of maximizing the number of rounds and the joy of looping in a specific gaming state are realized at the same time.

〇 Third specific example In the above embodiment, it has been explained that the number of time reductions in the specific gaming state is N = 1, but it may be set to N = 2 or more. However, if the setting is such that there is no deviation as a result of the second lottery (a setting that will be a big hit or a small hit), after all, it corresponds to the first second lottery (corresponding to the final notification effect) after shifting to the specific game state. Since the second normal jackpot or the second specific jackpot can be obtained in the second lottery), and the gaming state (normal gaming state or specific gaming state) corresponding to the jackpot is newly set, N = 2 or more. Even so, the actual playability does not change.

〇 Fourth specific example In the above embodiment, it has been explained that the setting does not cause a loss as a result of the second lottery, but the setting may cause a loss. For example, in the second lottery, 310.8 / 319.8 is a big hit or a small hit (310.8 / 319.8 is a big hit in light of "small hit = big hit"), but the rest. The probability of 9.0 / 319.8 is set to be off.

In this way, while hoping to win the big hit or small hit in the second lottery, if the big hit or small hit is won, the big hit given as a result will be the second specified big hit. The desired playability is realized. In addition, on the premise that "granting three jackpots" is not guaranteed, if the second specific jackpot can be obtained with any of the three rights, the specific gaming state will be set again (). The playability of (regaining the right three times) is realized.

〇Fifth specific example In the above embodiment, if the player continuously hits the right in the specific game state, the game ball surely enters the second starting area 904b, and the second hold information of the maximum number M can be acquired. Although it has been explained that the setting is (special figure 2 hold can be filled up), the setting is such that the game ball does not easily enter the second starting area 904b. In other words, the setting is such that the right to win a big hit cannot be easily obtained.

For example, it is assumed that the time required for the final notification effect in the specific game state can be changed. Where "the number of game balls that entered during the final notification effect = the number of jackpot stocks" (as in the above embodiment, the maximum number of holdings M = 2 that can be stored in the storage means is the maximum. The number of stocks = 2), and the length of the final notification effect is the length of time that the second starting area 904b is in a state where it is easy to open. Therefore, the longer the time, the more likely the number of stocks is. Is. That is, by allowing the length of the final notification effect to change each time, the expected value of the number of stocks is set to be higher as the fluctuation time is longer. In the above embodiment, when the game is newly changed to the specific game state, a total of three jackpots are guaranteed to be acquired. However, by making this example, the game is newly changed to the specific game state. In the case, the number of jackpots won is one of 1 to 3, which is a playability.

In the case of this example, the length of the final notification effect may be shown to the player. Strictly speaking, it is preferable that the time until the final notification effect is completed, the second starting area 904b is closed, and the game ball does not enter the second starting area 904b is indicated by a countdown or the like.

3) Launch instruction in the specific game state As described above, the specific game state is a state in which the game ball should enter aiming at the second starting area 904b (a state in which a right-handed hit should be performed in the present embodiment). If the right-handed strike is not continuously performed in the specific gaming state, a situation may occur in which the player cannot obtain the profit that the player should originally obtain. In order to prevent such a situation from occurring, a "launch instruction" (an instruction for urging the game ball to enter the second starting area 904b) is executed. Hereinafter, the launch instruction will be described in detail.

As described above, the specific gaming state continues from the start of the gaming state until the second lottery is executed N times (N = 1 in this embodiment). The notification effect for notifying the Nth lottery result is the "final notification effect". During the final notification effect, the above launch instruction is executed. That is, unless the game ball is made to enter the second start area 904b during the final notification effect and M pieces of second hold information are acquired (as described above, M = 2 in this embodiment), the player is originally Since the profit to be obtained cannot be obtained (the jackpot for the special figure 2 hold cannot be obtained), the player is instructed to launch (right-handed instruction) so as not to reach such a situation.

In this embodiment, the launch instruction may be executed step by step. Specifically, if the predetermined condition is not satisfied when the predetermined time T has elapsed from the execution of the final notification effect after the first instruction (see FIG. 6A) is executed, the first instruction is performed. Two instructions (see FIG. 6 (c)) are executed. The predetermined time T is shorter than the time required for the final notification effect (the variation time of the decorative symbol 80 for notifying the first second lottery after the start of the specific game state). That is, it is determined whether or not the predetermined condition (details will be described later) is satisfied at a time point in the middle of the final notification effect (a time point when the final notification effect is not completed; hereinafter may be referred to as an intermediate time point), and the predetermined condition is determined. If is not satisfied, the second instruction is executed. If the predetermined conditions are met, the second instruction will not be executed.

The fact that the above-mentioned predetermined condition is satisfied means that the second hold information stored in the storage means has reached the maximum number M (hereinafter, the state may be referred to as a hold full state). And. In the present embodiment, the acquisition of the two second hold information in the storage means means that the hold is full. If the pending tank is not full at the middle of the above, the second instruction will be executed. Hereinafter, the predetermined condition may be referred to as a “holding condition”.

The first instruction is to display the first instruction image 41 (see FIG. 6A) in the display area 911. The second instruction displays the second instruction image 42 (see FIG. 6C) in the display area 911. The modes of the first instruction image 41 and the second instruction image 42 are different. These instruction images are in a mode in which the player can easily grasp that the game ball should be launched toward the right side of the game area 902. The first instruction image 41 in the present embodiment is an image including an arrow pointing to the right side of the game area 902 and the character "right-handed". Further, the second instruction image 42 in the present embodiment is also an image including an arrow pointing to the right side of the game area 902 and the character "right-handed". However, the second instruction image 42 is larger than the first instruction image 41. In the present embodiment, the image having a similar shape, which is one size larger than the first instruction image 41, is referred to as the second instruction image 42. As a result of zooming in on the first instruction image 41, the first instruction image 41 may be changed to the second instruction image 42.

Further, although not shown, the instruction image is an image representing the second starting region 904b (not only an image faithfully depicting the second starting region 904b, but also a range in which the player can understand that the second starting region 904b is represented. (Including images that have been modified in). That is, an image representing the area to be targeted is set as an instruction image. If the second starting area 904b is marked (the game board 90 or the like is marked), the image including the mark may be displayed as an instruction image. Then, it is assumed that the second instruction image 42 represents the second start area 904b more than the first instruction image 41. As a result of zooming in on the first instruction image 41, the aspect may change to the second instruction image 42 (as if the second starting area 904b is zoomed up). In addition to the above-mentioned "arrow" and "right-handed" images, an image including an image showing the second starting region 904b may be set as an instruction image.

The time point at which the display of the first instruction image 41 is started can be appropriately set. In the present embodiment, the first instruction image 41 is displayed when the game shifts to the specific gaming state and the notification of all the first lottery results (notification of loss) is completed (when all the first reserved information is digested). To. If the first hold information does not exist at the time of transition to the specific gaming state, the first instruction image 41 is displayed with the transition to the specific gaming state as an opportunity. Since the player who sees the first instruction image 41 will execute a right-handed strike, the game ball enters the second start area 904b and the final notification effect (the first change after shifting to the specific game state). ) Is started. At least, the first instruction image 41 continues to be displayed from the start of the final notification effect until the intermediate time point is reached. If the first half of the final notification effect is regarded as reaching a point in the middle, the first instruction in which the first instruction image 41 is displayed is executed in the first half (see FIG. 6A).

If the hold condition is not satisfied at the time of the final notification effect, the process proceeds to the second instruction. That is, the second instruction image 42 is displayed. Since the second instruction image 42 is displayed so as to cover the first instruction image 41, the first instruction image 41 cannot be seen by shifting to the second instruction (the first instruction image 41 becomes the second instruction image 42). It is a display mode that the player feels as if it is covered and invisible). The second instruction image 42, which is larger than the first instruction image 41, is displayed in an area including a part of the area where the first instruction image 41 was displayed at the time of the first instruction, so that the first instruction image 41 can be seen. It will be in a non-existent state (see FIG. 6 (c)). The first instruction image 41 may be erased at the same time as the second instruction image 42 is displayed, or the layer representing the second instruction image 42 is set in front of the layer representing the first instruction image 41. By doing so, the second instruction image 42 may be displayed so that the first instruction image 41 cannot be seen.

When the game ball enters the second starting area 904b and the final notification effect is started by executing the right-handed stroke according to the first instruction image 41 (the decorative symbol 80 that notifies the lottery result corresponding to the final notification effect is displayed. If the fluctuation is started), the player may think that it is not necessary to fire the game ball any more. In other words, there is a risk that the right-handed strike will be stopped without reaching the pending full tank state. If the final notification effect ends in such a state and the specific game state ends, the jackpot (two jackpots) for the second reserved information that should have been obtained cannot be obtained. It becomes. In the present embodiment, if the pending full tank state is not reached in the middle of the final notification effect, the second instruction image 42 having a mode different from that of the first instruction image 41 is displayed. It is highly probable that the player knows that the situation should be performed (the game ball is made to enter the second starting area 904b).

If the pending full tank state is reached in the middle of the final notification effect, the second instruction image 42 is not displayed (the second instruction is not executed). However, since there is no great disadvantage even if the right-handed stroke is continued even after the reserved full tank is reached, the second instruction image 42 is displayed even if the reserved full tank is reached at some point in the middle. You may do so.

In the present embodiment, the instruction image is deleted when the pending full tank is reached. That is, when the hold full tank state is reached before reaching the intermediate point in the final notification effect (the first half of the final notification effect), the first instruction image 41 is deleted (see FIG. 6B). When the pending full tank state is reached after reaching an intermediate point in the final notification effect (the latter half of the final notification effect), the second instruction image 42 is deleted (see FIG. 6D). In the present embodiment, in addition to erasing the instruction image, an image (completed image 45) indicating that the hold is full is displayed. As the completed image 45, an image including characters such as "ready" can be exemplified. However, since there is no great disadvantage even if the right-handed stroke is continued even after the hold full tank state is reached, the instruction image may be continuously displayed even after the hold full tank state is reached.

Hereinafter, specific examples in which the matters relating to the launch instruction of the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment have been improved, modified, and embodied will be described. In addition, as long as possible, a configuration may be configured in which a plurality of items described using the following specific examples are applied.

○ First specific example The basic playability may be different. It is possible to apply to a situation in which the player is disadvantaged if the hold information is not acquired during a certain notification effect. For example, the number of lottery executions (time reduction number) until the end of the specific game state may be two or more, and in that case, the firing instruction described in the above embodiment is given in the final notification effect. You can do it.

○ Second specific example In the above embodiment, it is set as a predetermined condition (holding condition) that the hold is full (M pieces of second hold information are stored) at the middle of the final notification effect. However, it may be configured that m pieces (however, 0 <m <M) of the second hold information are stored as the condition for satisfying the predetermined condition. If M = 2 as in the above embodiment, m = 1 is set. If m or more of the second hold information is acquired at the middle of the process (M> the number of holds in Special Figure 2 ≥ m), the predetermined condition (hold condition) is satisfied and the second instruction is not given. (Refer to FIG. 7 (c-1)). On the other hand, if the number of second hold information acquired at the midway is less than m (if the number of hold in Special Figure 2 <m), the predetermined condition (hold condition) is not satisfied and the second instruction is given. (See Fig. 7 (c-2)). The player recognizes that if a predetermined number (m or more) of the second hold information is acquired, the second hold information must be acquired even if the hold is not full at the middle of the final notification effect. If so, prevent the second instruction from being given.

However, since it is still necessary to continue right-handed until the hold is full, the instruction image will continue to be displayed until the hold is full. That is, if a predetermined number of second hold information is acquired at a time point in the middle, the second instruction image 42 is not displayed, but the first instruction image 41 continues to be displayed (see FIG. 7 (c-1)). To. If the pending full tank is reached before reaching the intermediate time point, the instruction image (first instruction image 41) may be deleted at that time as in the above embodiment (FIG. 7). See (b)).

○ Third Specific Example In the above embodiment, if the hold condition is not satisfied in the middle of the final notification effect, the second instruction image 42 is displayed instead of the first instruction image 41 (first instruction). Although it has been explained that the image 41 cannot be seen), the configuration may be such that both the first instruction image 41 and the second instruction image 42 are displayed (the second instruction image 42 is added after the intermediate time point). (See FIG. 8). Although not shown, a part of the first instruction image 41 may be covered by displaying the second instruction image 42. Even in this way, it is emphasized that the situation should be right-handed by newly displaying the second instruction image 42.

○ Fourth Specific Example The configuration is such that an image (hereinafter referred to as a time image 50) showing the time until reaching a time point in the middle is displayed. For example, it is assumed that the time image 50 that is counted down after the final notification effect is started is displayed (see FIGS. 9A and 9B), and the time indicated by the time image 50 is timed up (for example, becomes 0). ) The time point is set to the middle point. In other words, it can be said that the time image 50 shows the time until the first half of the final notification effect is completed. If the tank is not full at the time of type-up, the second instruction is executed (see FIG. 9 (c)). After the time is up, the time image 50 may be continuously displayed (it is continuously shown that the time is up), or may be deleted when the time is up. By doing this, the player will feel that he should save the hold (second hold information) by the time-up time (continue right-handed), so in most cases by the middle of the time. The hold condition is satisfied. Therefore, the second instruction has a structure that functions as "insurance" to the last.

Unlike the above example, the time image 50 may be displayed from the first instruction to the second instruction. That is, when the pending full tank is not reached, the time indicated by the time image 50 is timed up when the second instruction is completed (see FIG. 10). By doing so, it becomes an easy-to-understand form that the limit time during which the second reserved information can be acquired is shown. Further, in such a configuration, it is preferable to set the time point at which the time indicated by the time image 50 reaches a predetermined switching time to be an intermediate time point. For example, the countdown is started from 20 seconds (see FIG. 10 (a)), and the time when 10 seconds (switching time) is reached is the intermediate point (see FIG. 10 (b)). In this case, the aspect of the time image 50 is changed between before the switching time is reached and after the switching time is reached (changes in "numbers" indicating the passage of time are not included in the changes in aspects). It is good. For example, the time is represented by a blue number before the switching time is reached (see FIG. 10 (a)), and the time is represented by a red number after the switching time is reached (FIG. 10 (b)). c) See). By doing so, since the aspect of the time image 50 changes with the change from the first instruction to the second instruction, the possibility that the player neglects to hit the right side and impairs the profit is reduced. To.

○ Fifth specific example ・ Basic configuration The acquisition of the second hold information does not necessarily lead to the acquisition of a big hit (the second lottery is a direct hit or a small hit). For example, as a result of the second lottery, not only a big hit and a small hit but also a loss may occur. Even with such a configuration, acquiring the second hold information in the final notification production (holding full tank state) gives the right to win a big hit or win a big hit via a small hit. Since it will be obtained, it is advisable to execute the above-mentioned firing instruction so that the player does not get the right.

In the case of playability as in this example, for example, the following settings can be considered. For example, the probability of winning a big hit in the second lottery is about 1 / 319.8, the probability of winning a small hit is about 1/5, and other than that, it is set to be out of the question. Further, it is assumed that the number of lottery times (time reduction number) N = 1 until the end of the specific game state, and the maximum number of second lottery information M = 4 that can be stored in the storage means. That is, if the pending full tank is set in the final notification effect, the second lottery will be executed at least five times in total. In addition, if a big hit (second big hit) is won in the second lottery (either direct hit or via small hit), after the big hit game is over, the game shifts to the specific game state again (becomes a continuous chan). (See FIG. 12). As mentioned above, the jackpot probability is considerably lower than the small hit probability, so when the game shifts to a specific gaming state, it is practical to win about 1/5 of the small hits in a total of 5 second lottery. It will be a route to win big hits (occurrence of consecutive chans). In the example shown in FIG. 12, a part of the first jackpot (first specific jackpot) is set to shift to the specific gaming state after the jackpot game ends, but all of the first jackpots are set. It may be assumed that the game shifts to a specific game state after the jackpot game is completed. In addition, the number of time reductions N can be increased or decreased as appropriate.

-Example 5-1
On the premise of the above basic configuration, when the pending full tank state is reached, the third instruction in a mode different from the first instruction and the second instruction shall be executed as a trigger. If the pending full tank is reached before the final notification effect is reached, the first instruction (see FIG. 12 (a)) is changed to the third instruction (see FIG. 12 (b)) after the middle point. When the pending full tank is reached, the second instruction (see FIG. 12 (c)) shall be changed to the third instruction (see FIG. 12 (d)). In the third instruction, the third instruction image 43 is displayed in the display area 911. Like the first instruction image 41 and the second instruction image 42, the third instruction image 43 is an image that encourages the game ball to be launched toward the second start area 904b, but the first instruction image 41 and the second instruction image 43 and the second instruction image 43. The aspect is different from the instruction image 42. For example, an image including characters such as "Aim at XX and accumulate power" (where XX represents the second starting region 904b) is referred to as the third instruction image 43 (see FIGS. 12 (b) and 12 (d)). .. The third instruction image 43 is displayed until the final notification effect ends (the state in which the second start area 904b is easy to open ends). In the third instruction, the first instruction image 41 and the second instruction image 42 may be displayed together with the third instruction image 43, or the first instruction image 41 and the second instruction image 42 are erased. It may be a thing.

When the pending full tank is reached in the final notification production, it means that the player has already acquired the right of the second lottery (right of 5 times) that the player should originally obtain, so in that sense, it is the second more. It is not necessary to allow the game ball to enter the starting area 904b. However, in this example, it has already been acquired with the entry of the game ball into the second starting area 904b after the pending full tank state (hereinafter, the entry may be referred to as "over winning"). A look-ahead effect suggesting the possibility that the second lottery result based on the second lottery information (five second lottery information) will be a big hit or a small hit is executed. In other words, it is suggested whether or not a big hit can be obtained by "final notification effect + four special figure 2 hold".

In addition, any specific aspect of the suggestion may be used. The five second lottery information may be performed as a group (suggesting the probability that any one of the five second lottery will be a big hit or a small hit), or for each of the five second lottery information. It may be done (suggesting the probability that each of the five second lottery will be a big hit or a small hit). In the present embodiment, the power meter is accumulated when the game ball enters the second starting area 904b (see FIG. 13), and the larger the size of the power meter, the more of the five second lottery. It is set to increase the probability that either one will be a hit (big hit or small hit). The power meter is set so that it does not exceed a predetermined maximum amount. The maximum amount shall be larger when the winning is included in the five second lottery than when it is not included. If a sufficient number of over prizes are generated, the power meter will reach the maximum amount, and the player will know the high and low probability of including the hit based on the maximum amount. It should be noted that the look-ahead effect does not occur when one game ball enters the second start area 904b, but the look-ahead effect occurs when two or more game balls enter the second start area 904b. It may be something to do.

As described above, the occurrence of the pre-reading effect is conditional on the occurrence of over-winning. The third instruction (display of the third instruction image 43) promotes the occurrence of the over-winning. That is, depending on the player, the launch of the game ball is stopped due to the pending full tank state, and the look-ahead effect does not occur. Therefore, the first instruction (first instruction image 41) or By giving a third instruction (displaying the third instruction image 43) in a mode different from the second instruction (second instruction image 42), the game ball is fired and pre-reading even after the hold is full. Try to reach the situation where the production occurs. Since the third instruction (third instruction image 43) has a different aspect from the first instruction (first instruction image 41) and the second instruction (second instruction image 42), the player who has played continuously to some extent It is possible to know that the pending full tank has been reached by the third instruction.

・ Example 5-2
In addition, on the premise of the above basic configuration, if the second lottery information that is a big hit or a small hit has already been acquired even if the tank is not full on hold at the middle of the final notification effect, the second instruction is given. It may be configured not to be executed. That is, the so-called "look-ahead" is performed, and the second lottery result corresponding to the final notification effect, or the first to three second hold information (1 to 3 special figure 2 hold) already acquired. (Ii) If at least one of the lottery results (that is, at least one of a maximum of four second lottery results) is a big hit or a small hit, the second instruction is not executed (FIGS. 14 (a) and 14 (b-1)). reference). In such a case, since the jackpot acquisition has already been promised at the middle of the final notification production (the game shifts to the specific game state again after the jackpot game ends), the player does not have to put the hold full tank state. Is not so big a disadvantage. Therefore, the second instruction is not executed even if the tank is not full. On the other hand, if the second lottery information that is a big hit or a small hit is not acquired, the second instruction is executed (see FIGS. 14 (a) and 14 (b-2)). In this case, if the tank is not full on hold at the middle of the game, it is possible to determine whether or not the second instruction is executed and whether or not it has already been determined to be a big hit or a small hit. The action is also played.

If the second lottery information, which is not in the pending full tank state but is a big hit or a small hit, has already been acquired at the halfway point, the first instruction (first instruction image 41) even after the halfway point has passed. The setting (display) may be continued (see FIG. 14 (b-1)), or the first instruction may be terminated (the first instruction image 41 may be erased) (not shown).

○ Sixth Specific Example It was explained that the launch instruction in the above embodiment changes from the first instruction to the second instruction, that is, it is executed in two stages, but it is executed in three or more stages. May be. That is, in the final notification effect, a plurality of intermediate points are set, and each time the intermediate points are reached, it is determined whether or not the pending full tank state is reached. ) Should change.
