[First embodiment]
The gaming machine 10 of the first embodiment will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 11. FIG. As shown in FIG. 1, the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment is a pachinko gaming machine, the front of which is covered with a front frame 10Z, and the game board shown in FIG. 11 game areas R1 are visible. In the following description, unless otherwise specified, the side of the gaming machine 10 closer to the player is called the "front side" and the opposite side is called the "rear side". and "left" will simply be referred to as "right side" and "left side."

An upper tray 26 and a lower tray 27 are provided in two stages below the glass window 10W in the front frame 10Z, and an operation knob 28 is provided on the right side of the lower tray 27. As shown in FIG. When the operation knob 28 is rotated, the game balls contained in the upper tray 26 are ejected toward the game area R1.

As shown in FIG. 2, the game area R1 is entirely surrounded by the guide rails 12 and has a display opening 11H passing through the game board 11 inside. A display screen 13G of the display device 13 is visible through the display opening 11H. A display decoration frame 23 is attached to the opening edge of the display opening 11H to restrict the game ball from entering the display opening 11H. The display decoration frame 23 divides the game area R1 into a left flow area R2 on the left side of the display opening 11H and a right flow area R3 on the right side.

Around the display opening 11H in the game area R1, a plurality of winning holes and a plurality of obstacle nails (not shown) are distributed. In addition, an out port 22 is provided at the lower end of the game area R1. A game ball flowing down the game area R1 is taken into the rear side of the game board 11 through one of the winning openings or the out opening 22.例文帳に追加In addition, entering a game ball into a winning hole is called "winning", and when a game ball to each winning hole wins, a plurality of game balls (prize balls) are paid out to the upper tray 26 (see FIG. 1). be

The plurality of prize-winning ports mentioned above include a plurality of normal prize-winning ports 21 which are pocket-shaped prize-winning ports, first and third starting prize-winning ports 14 and 16, and a second starting prize-winning port which is a sliding opening/closing type prize-winning port. 15, and a large winning opening 20, which is a horizontally rotating opening and closing type winning opening.

A plurality of pocket-shaped normal winning holes 21, first and third starting winning holes 14, 16 are opened on the upper surface of the winning protrusion projecting from the front surface of the game board 11, and one game ball can win each. It's big. The first starting prize winning port 14 is arranged in the center of the horizontal direction of the region below the display decoration frame 23 in the game region R1, and the third starting prize winning port 16 is arranged in the lower right thereof. A pair of normal winning holes 21 are arranged on the left side of the first starting winning hole 14, and one normal winning hole 21 is arranged on the upper part of the right flowing area R3.

The horizontal rotation opening/closing type big winning opening 20 is arranged in the central portion in the vertical direction of the right flowing region R3. Specifically, the big winning opening 20 protrudes from the front surface of the game board 11, opens to the side surface of the front duct 20D adjacent to the right side surface of the display decoration frame 23, and is opened and closed by the rotating door 20T. The rotating door 20T rotates about a rotating shaft extending in the front-rear direction along the lower end opening edge of the big prize winning opening 20, and normally closes the big winning prize opening 20 in a standing posture, thereby preventing a big win. When the game is executed, it falls sideways to open the big winning hole 20 and guides the game ball to the big winning hole 20.例文帳に追加

An inclined duct portion 91 is provided in the right lateral portion of the lower end portion of the display opening 11H in the right flowing region R3 and is inclined with a width through which game balls can pass one by one. The end of the slanted duct portion 91 is connected to a common trunk channel 92 that bends downward to point directly downward, forms a hanging bell shape, and widens downward. The lower end of the common trunk channel 92 is connected to first, second and third flow-down channels 93, 94, 95, as shown in FIG. The first to third flow paths 93 to 95 have a width in which game balls flow down one by one, and their inlets 93A, 94A, 95A are arranged side by side at the lower end of the common trunk path 92 and upward. is facing All of the game balls hit into the right flow-down region R3 that do not enter the normal prize-winning port 21 or the big prize-winning port 20 pass through the common main flow path 92 and flow through the first to third flow paths 93-95. is designed to flow into one of the

The first downstream path 93 has an inlet 93A at the left end of the lower end of the common trunk path 92 . The first flow-down path 93 extends from the entrance 93A along the display decoration frame 23, passes above the third starting prize-winning opening 16, and heads for the out-opening 22. - 特許庁The exit 93B of the first flow-down path 93 is located diagonally to the upper left of the third starting winning port 16 and opens toward the left side, and most of the game balls discharged from the exit 93B are the first and third starting winning It passes between the mouths 14 and 16 and goes to the out mouth 22. - 特許庁

The third downstream path 95 has an inlet 95A at the right end of the lower end of the common trunk path 92 . In addition, the entire third flow path 95 extends along the guide rail 12 , and the game ball that has passed through the third flow path 95 passes below the third starting winning opening 16 and heads for the out port 22 .

The second flow path 94 has an inlet 94A located at the center in the horizontal direction of the lower end of the common trunk flow path 92 and directly below the outlet of the inclined duct portion 91, and the outlet 94B of the second flow path 94 is the third starting prize. It is located just above the mouth 16 . At the upper end of the second flow path 94, there is provided a starting gate 18 having a detection switch (not shown) for detecting passage of game balls. Further, a rolling path 96 is formed in a range extending from the middle position of the second flow-down path 94 to the outlet 94B, and the above-described second start-up winning port 15 opens at a position closer to the upstream side of the rolling path 96 . In addition, the game ball that has passed through the starting gate 18 is directed to the rolling path 96 or joins the third flow-down path 95 .

A slide door 15T is provided in the second start prize-winning port 15, and the slide door 15T slides in the front-rear direction and is normally arranged at the closed position at the front end of the movable range to close the second start- prize prize port 15. and constitutes part of the rolling path 96 . Then, when a hit is achieved in the normal figure determination, which will be described later, the slide door 15T moves to the open position at the rear end of the movable range, the second start winning opening 15 is opened, and the game ball on the rolling path 96 is the second starting winning. Win 15 mouths. On the other hand, when the slide door 15T is closed, the game ball passes through the slide door 15T and flows down from the exit 94B toward the third start winning opening 16.例文帳に追加

In the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when a game ball wins a prize in the starting gate 18 and the first to third starting prize openings 14 to 16, the winning judgment right is generated, and the winning judgment is performed using the winning judgment right. . A normal figure determination and a special figure determination are provided in the success/failure determination, and a first special figure determination and a second special figure determination are provided in the special figure determination.

The normal pattern determination is performed due to the game ball passing through the starting gate 18, and the determination result is, as shown in FIG. A normal symbol, which is a one-digit number that changes within a range, is variably displayed so as to alternately switch between odd and even numbers, and then stopped, and if the normal symbol at that time is, for example, an odd number, it is a "hit". , an even number is reported as "out of line". Then, when a hit is achieved in the normal pattern determination, the slide door 15T of the second starting prize winning port 15 is opened over a certain period of time, and the game ball becomes easy to enter the second starting prize winning port 15.例文帳に追加

In addition, the normal pattern determination is performed each time the game ball passes through the starting gate 18, and when the game ball passes through the starting gate 18 between the start of determination and the notification of the determination result, the normal pattern for the game ball Judgment is withheld up to a predetermined upper limit number (for example, up to four).

The first special figure determination is performed due to the winning of the game ball to the first or second start winning opening 14, 15, and the second special figure determination is the game ball to the third starting winning opening 16. It is done due to the winning of the Specifically, when a game ball wins in the first, second or third start winning openings 14 to 16, as shown in FIG. 5(A), three special symbols 13A, After 13B and 13C are vertically scrolled and variably displayed, a determination notification performance of fixed stop display is executed as shown in FIG. 5(D). The suitability determination result is reported. Hereinafter, the determination notification effects of the first special figure determination and the second special figure determination are respectively referred to as "first determination notification effect" and "second determination notification effect". It should be noted that the first and second special figure determinations correspond to the "first propriety determination" in the claims.

In addition, the special figure determination is performed each time the game ball wins in the first to third start winning openings 14 to 16, and while the first and second determination notification effects are performed, and a big hit to be described later. When the game ball wins in the first to third start winning ports 14 to 16 while playing the game and the small winning game, the special figure determination for that amount is a predetermined upper limit number (for example , up to 4).

In addition, there are a "big hit" and a "small hit" in the hit of the special figure determination. When the special figure determination is a big hit, the combination of the three special symbols 13A, 13B and 13C which are fixed and displayed is a big hit symbol combination (for example, zorome) meaning a big hit, and in the case of a small hit. , it will be a combination of small winning symbols, and in the case of loss, it will be a combination of missing symbols that means loss. It should be noted that, in the case of a fixed stop display in a combination of jackpot symbols, as a general rule, the symbols that stop first and second among the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C (in this embodiment, the special symbol 13A on the left and the special symbol on the right) In a state where the symbols 13C) are stopped and displayed with the same symbols, a "ready-to-win effect" is performed in which the last special symbol 13B is variably displayed (see FIG. 5(C)). In addition, when the fixed stop display is performed in the combination of the winning symbols, there are both times when the "ready-to-win effect" is performed and when it is not performed.

When "big win" is reached, the game state changes to the big win game state, the big win game is executed, the big winning opening 20 is opened, and the game ball can enter. When the game balls enter the big winning hole 20, a predetermined number of game balls are paid out to the upper tray 26 as prize balls. Assuming that the action from opening to closing of the big winning opening 20 is called a "round", one big winning game continues until a predetermined number of rounds are executed. One round ends when either the opening time of the big winning hole 20 reaches a prescribed time or the winning of a prescribed number of game balls into the big winning hole 20 is established first. A winning sensor (not shown) is provided inside the big winning hole 20 to count the number of winning balls.

Moreover, when it becomes a "small hit", a game state will be in a small-hit game state, and a small-hit game will be performed. Even in the small winning game, the big winning hole 20 is opened to allow game balls to enter, but the number of winning balls is smaller than in the big winning game. Also, the opening time of the big winning opening 20 is shorter than the opening time in the big win game. In addition, in the first special figure judgment and the second special figure judgment, the probability of becoming a big hit is the same in any special figure judgment, while the probability of becoming a small hit is the same in the success or failure judgment by the second special figure judgment While it is extremely high, it is 0 in the first special figure determination (see FIG. 4(B)). Furthermore, after the end of the big win game, the game state may change as described later, but the game state does not change after the end of the small win game.

In this embodiment, in the middle of the first and second determination notification effects, game effects such as the above-mentioned ready-to-win effect and a notice effect suggesting the possibility of a final stop display with a combination of jackpot symbols before the ready-to-win effect are performed. executed. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5(B), a cut-in announcement effect is performed in which a witch character appears on the display screen 13G while the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C are displayed in a variable manner. In this embodiment, two types of cut-in announcement effects are prepared in which the color of the appearing witch's hat changes from black to red or gold in the middle. Specifically, the execution of the cut-in notice effect that changes to gold is set so that the reliability of the big hit is higher (easier to hit the jackpot) than the cut-in notice effect that changes to red. It will be a production that suggests a degree (chance up).

In the game state, "non-time-saving state" and "time-saving state" are provided, and due to the establishment of a predetermined condition (for example, the special symbol stops at a specific symbol, or the big hit) It switches to a non-time saving state and a time saving state. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4 (A), in the time saving state, compared to the non-working time saving state, (1) the control that the hit probability in the normal pattern determination becomes higher, and (2) the fluctuation time of the normal pattern 13D and (3) control to lengthen the opening time of the slide door 15T of the second start winning opening 15. In the time saving state, in addition to the above (1) to (3), (4) control may be performed to shorten the fluctuation time of the special symbols 13A to 13C, or any of these (1) to (4) It may also be configured to control only a part of them.

In addition, in the game state, a "low probability state" and a "high probability state" with different hit probabilities of special figure determination are provided, and in the high probability state, the first to third start winning openings 14 The jackpot probability of special figure judgment based on 16 winning prizes is high. Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 4(B), the hit probability of the big hit has no distinction between the first special figure determination and the second special figure determination, and the "low probability state" is "1/319 ' and 'high probability state' are set to '1/30'. On the other hand, there is no distinction between the "low probability state" and the "high probability state", and the small hit probability is "0" in the first special figure determination, and "1/1.2" in the second special figure determination. is set to

In addition, as shown in FIG. 4 (C), the execution time of the determination notification effect based on the first special figure determination is relatively short except for the high probability non-time saving state, and is set relatively long in the high probability non time saving state. On the other hand, the execution time of the determination notification effect based on the second special figure determination is relatively long except for the high probability non-shortening state, and is set relatively short in the high probability non-shortening state.

The above-described non-time-saving state and time-saving state, and the low-probability state and high-probability state are combined, and the gaming machine 10 becomes any one of the following four game states. That is, the gaming machine 10 is in a low probability state and non-time saving state "low probability non-time saving state", low probability state and time saving state "low probability time saving state", high probability state and non time saving state It becomes one of the four game states of "high probability non-time-saving state" and "high-probability short-time state" of high-probability state and time-saving state. In addition, the "low-probability short working hours state" is generally called "normal state" or "normal game state".

In addition, in the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, in the low-probability short-time state and the high-probability short-time state, the game ball is likely to enter the second start-up winning port 15, and in the high-probability non-short-time state, the third start-up winning port It becomes easy for a game ball to win at 16. Here, while the first special figure determination occurs in the winning of the second start winning opening 15, the second special figure determination occurs in the winning of the third starting winning opening 16, and the second special figure determination Then, the probability of getting a small hit is 1/1.2, which is a very high probability. As a result, when the high-probability non-time-saving state is reached, a small-hit rush state in which small-hit occurs frequently occurs.

When the game state described above is switched, it is switched with a big hit game in between. Further, which of the four game states the game state after the big hit game will be is determined together with the determination of whether or not the special figure determination will result in a big hit. In other words, the special figure judgment jackpot is "jackpot with high probability short-time state" and "jackpot with high probability non-short-time state" and "jackpot with low-probability short-time state" and "jackpot with low-probability short time state ( It can be classified as a normal jackpot). In addition, the jackpot games can also be classified according to the difference in the number of rounds described above. Specifically, the number of rounds in the jackpot game is, for example, 2, 4, or 10 times. It can also be divided into "per 4 rounds" and "per 10 rounds". In the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the hit probability for each type of big win specified by the number of rounds of the big win game and the game state after the big win game is set so as to be different for each game state. It is illustrated in FIG.

Specifically, the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment is a so-called loop machine setting, and each game state other than the normal game state state), 75% of the jackpot is a "jackpot with a high-probability short-time state", and the remaining 25% of the jackpot is a "jackpot with a low-probability short-time state for 100 special figure judgments" (" + 100 times of low-probability short-time state”). The "jackpot with a low-probability short working hour state for 100 special figure judgments" falls down to the normal game state if the big hit is not drawn during 100 special figure judgments in the low-probability short working hour state. In addition, in the normal game state (low-probability non-time-saving state), 50% of the jackpot is "a high-probability non-time-saving state jackpot", and 25% of the jackpot is a "high-probability non-time-saving state jackpot". , The remaining 25% of the jackpot is a so-called "jackpot with a low probability and short working time state" of "skipper", and when the jackpot is "skipper", the game state is the normal game state. maintained.

In the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the ball payout balance, which is the number of prize balls paid out with respect to the number of game balls consumed, depends on the relationship between the hit probability described above and the number of prize balls with respect to winning in each winning hole. , It is set to improve in the order of high-probability short-time state, high-probability non-short-time state, low-probability short-time state, and low-probability short-time state.

Specifically, in the low-probability short-time state, the above-described setting allows the game ball to flow down to the left side of the game area R1, so-called left-handed hitting. However, since it is difficult to win the first starting prize-winning hole 14 even if the player hits to the left, a lot of game balls are consumed before the right to make the special figure judgment is obtained, and the special figure judgment is made. The probability of hitting the jackpot is low, so the ball balance will be negative. Also, if you are unlucky, you will not be able to get out of the low-probability short-time state for a long period of time, so-called "addicted state", and the ball balance will be greatly negative.

In the low-probability time-saving state, the above-described setting makes it easier to win the second and third start winning openings 15 and 16, so it is better to make the game ball flow down to the right side of the game area R1, so-called right-handed hitting. The ball balance is high, and if you hit right, you can expect a negative ball balance that is less than the low-probability short-time state due to the prize balls that accompany the prizes in the second and third start winning ports 15 and 16. The right to perform figure determination is easily obtained and special figure determination is performed one after another. However, the probability of hitting the jackpot is as low as 1/319, and if it becomes a low-probability time-saving state after the jackpot game, the above-mentioned "hit with a low-probability time-saving state for 100 special figure judgments". Therefore, in many cases, the low-probability time-saving state ends and the low-probability non-time-saving state ends without hitting the jackpot.

In the high-probability non-time-saving state, the aforementioned small-hit rush state can occur, so the ball-out balance is higher for right-handed hitting, and in the small-hit rush state, a better ball-out balance can be expected than in the low-probability short-time state. In addition, it becomes a big hit with a high probability of 1/30, and when it becomes a big hit, it is "a big hit with a high probability of time saving state" with a probability of 75%, so it is easy to be promoted to a high probability of time saving state.

In the high-probability time-saving state, similarly to the low-probability time-saving state, it is easy to win the second and third start winning openings 15, 16, and the probability of winning a big hit is as high as 1/30. If there is, there is a 75% probability that it is a "jackpot with a high probability of short working hours", so the high probability of short working hours is likely to continue. As a result, if you are in a high-probability short-time state, you will have a large positive ball balance. That is, by becoming a high-probability short-time state, it is possible to recover the negative ball balance of the low-probability short-time state.

By the way, in the hope that it will be a high-probability short-time state, for a long time, if the above-mentioned “doomed state” occurs in a low-probability short-time state (normal game state), the longer it lasts, the more negative the ball balance will be. is getting bigger. As a remedy for this, in the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the number of times of consecutive failures of the special figure determination reaches the first specified number of times N (900 times in the present embodiment), it switches to a low probability time saving state, After that, the low-probability short-time state is maintained until it becomes a big hit in the special figure judgment or the number of consecutive deviations after switching to the low-probable short-time state reaches the second specified number J (1200 times in this embodiment). It is designed to enter the "play time" of being. Further, after entering the idle time, when the number of consecutive failures reaches the second specified number of times J, it falls into a low-probability short-time state.

The game machine 10 is provided with a counter for controlling the start of play time (hereinafter referred to as "play time start counter C1 (see FIG. 8)"). This play time start counter C1 counts the number of times the special figure determination is continuously missed in a low probability state, and when a big hit game is executed, a reset switch that can be operated only by the administrator of the gaming machine 10 is operated. is reset to '0'. Also, the play time is started on the condition that the play time start counter C1 matches the first specified number of times N, and unless it is reset in the case described above, the play time start counter C1 repeats the first specified number of times. Since it never coincides with N, it is designed not to rush into play time. In other words, when the number of consecutive omissions reaches the second specified number of times J in the free time and ends, even if the number of consecutive omissions reaches the first specified number of times N thereafter, the play time start counter C1 continues to the first Since the value is larger than the specified number of times N and does not match the first specified number of times N, the free time is not entered.

The idle time start counter C1 is not updated in the high probability state, but is updated in the low probability state regardless of whether the time saving state or non-working time saving state. Therefore, from the high-probability short-time state and the high-probability non-short-time state, through the "jackpot with a low-probability short-time state for 100 special figure judgments", when falling to the normal game state, before the fall, the reset play time The start counter C1 will rapidly count up to 100 times in the low probability short working hours state.

The game machine 10 is also provided with a play time end counter C2 (see FIG. 8) for controlling the end of the play time. The play time end counter C2 counts the number of consecutive losses after entering the play time, and is "0" when the jackpot game is executed and when the number of consecutive losses reaches the second specified number J. reset to Then, the free time ends on condition that the free time end counter C2 is reset.

In the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, in the case of the low probability of short working hours state in the play time and the case of the low probability of short working hours state after the big hit game, the upper limit number of times of consecutive outages until falling into the low probability of short working hours state Other than that, the probability of a big hit in the low-probability short-time state and the breakdown of the big hit (see FIG. 6) are the same. However, the second prescribed number of times J of the number of consecutive failures until falling into the low probability non-working time state in the case of the low probability short working time state in the idle time is, for example, 1200 times, which is the probability of hitting the jackpot 1/ Since it is 319, there is a high probability that a big hit will occur before the end of the play time when the play time comes. And when it comes to a big hit, there is a 75% probability that it will be in a high-probability short-time state. . Therefore, under the situation where the play time start counter C1 is approaching the first prescribed number of times N in the normal game state, pulling the big hit in the special figure determination pulls the above-mentioned "Ska hit" and the low probability non-time-saving state Since it also attracts the danger that the play time start counter C1 will be reset as it is, some players are in a psychological state that they want to be out of the special figure judgment in order to rush into the play time. Become.

Further, in the present embodiment, in the number L1 of consecutive omissions of the special figure determination counted by the play time start counter C1, the remaining number of times up to the first specified number N is the first remaining number of times (400 times in this embodiment). When it becomes (that is, when the number L1 of consecutive omissions reaches 500 times), the remaining number of times, for example, "400 more times until play time!" is started, and countdown display is performed until the number of remaining times up to the first specified number of times N becomes 0. As a result, as the remaining number of times becomes smaller, the player who wants to rush into the play time desires to miss the special figure determination even more. When the remaining number of shots becomes 0, the display of the remaining number of shots in the remaining number of shots informing unit 13L ends, for example, a message "Hit right!" A production that suggests

Next, with reference to FIG. 7, the game flow from the start to the end of the play time in this embodiment will be described. When a game is started, first, a game ball is made to enter one of the first to third start winning holes 14 to 16 in any one of the four game states described above, and the first Or receive the second special figure determination. Then, when the special figure determination is out (YES in S11, NO in S12), the game state when the special figure determination is performed in step S14 is a low probability state or a high probability state. is determined. Then, when it is in a low probability state (YES in S14), the play time start counter C1 starts counting the number of times L1 of consecutive omissions in the special figure determination (S15). Then, when the number of consecutive omissions L1 reaches the first specified number of times N (YES in S16), the free time starts (S17). On the other hand, when the special figure determination is out in a high probability state (NO in S12, NO in S14), the special figure determination is not counted as the number of times L1 of continuous loss.

On the other hand, if the special figure determination results in a big hit before the number of times L1 of consecutive losses reaches the first specified number of times N (YES in S12), the play time start counter C1 counts consecutive losses until then. The number of times L1 is reset (S13). After that, the number L1 of consecutive failures starts counting from 0 (S13).

Then, when entering the play time, the game state becomes a low-probability short-time state, and as described above, the player aims at the second start winning opening 15 and receives the first special figure determination (S18). Then, when the special figure determination is lost (YES in S18, NO in S19), the play time end counter C2 counts the number of consecutive misses L2 in the special figure determination during the play time (S21). Then, when the number of consecutive omissions L2 during the play time reaches the second specified number of times J (YES in S22), the number of consecutive omissions L2 is reset by the play time end counter C2 (S23), and the play time ends. Then, the game state is switched to the low-probability short-time state (S24), and the process returns to step S11.

On the other hand, even if the special figure determination is hit (YES in S18, YES in S19), the number of times L2 of continuous loss is reset (S23), the game time ends and the game state is switched to a low probability non-time saving state. (S24) and returns to step S11. However, in this case, the play time start counter C1 resets the number of times L1 of consecutive omissions that has been counted up to that time (S20), and then returns to step S11. As a result, after returning to step S11, the number L1 of consecutive omissions in the special figure determination starts counting from 0, so if the number of times L1 of consecutive omissions reaches the first specified number N again after the end of the play time, the play time It is designed to rush into On the other hand, when the game enters the play time and reaches the second specified number of times J without winning a single big win (YES in S22), the process returns to step S11 without resetting the number of times L1 of consecutive losses. As long as the next big win is won and the number of consecutive losses L1 is not reset (YES in S12, S13), even if the number of consecutive losses L1 reaches the first prescribed number of times N after the end of the play time, the play time does not enter. It's like

Next, the electrical configuration of the gaming machine 10 will be described. The gaming machine 10 has a main control board (ROM, RAM, CPU) and performs main control related to games. A plurality of control programs stored in the ROM are executed by the CPU in a predetermined cycle in multitasking, so that the ROM, RAM, and CPU function as the random number generation unit 71 partially extracted in the block diagram of FIG. , a random number acquisition unit 72, a random number data storage unit 73, a determination unit 74, an effect control unit 75, and the like.

The random number generator 71 has a plurality of random number counters, and performs a process of adding 1 at a predetermined cycle. The range of the value of the random number counter differs depending on the type. For example, the random number counter for judging whether or not the big hit is successful is repeatedly incremented within the range of 0 to 637, and is set to 0 after 637. The random number acquisition unit 72 acquires a random number set for special figure determination from the random number generation unit 71 and stores it in the random number data storage unit 73 each time a game ball wins in each of the start winning openings 14 , 15 , 16 .

The determination unit 74 has a special figure determination unit 74A and a notice determination unit 74B, and the special figure determination unit 74A acquires a random number set for special figure determination from the random number data storage unit 73, and is included in the random number set. Whether or not a big win is determined by whether or not a random number value for judging the success or failure of a big win coincides with a random number value set in advance in a data table for judging the success or failure of a big win. As will be described later, the random number value for judging whether or not the big hit is successful is also used for determining whether or not to execute the cut-in notice effect during the judgment notification effect for notifying the determination result. It should be noted that the special figure determination unit 74A acquires information such as the type of the big hit and the type of the determination notification effect together with the determination result of the big hit success/failure determination, and outputs the information to the effect control unit 75 . Then, the effect control unit 75, based on the information such as the winning judgment acquired from the special figure determination unit 74A, the big hit type, the type of the determination notification effect, the notification of the determination result of the special figure determination, the determination notification effect, the big hit game effect etc. are controlled.

The data table for judging big hits is stored in the control data storage unit 76 . As shown in FIG. 9(A), as a data table for judging whether or not to hit a big hit, a data table for high probability used for judging when in a high probability state and a data table for low probability used for judging when in a low probability state A data table is provided. Specifically, for example, in a low probability state, if the random number for judging the success or failure of a big hit is 0 or 1, it will be a big hit, and if it is 2 to 637, it will be a big hit, and if it is 2 to 637, it will be a big hit. is done.

It should be noted that during the period from the start of the fluctuation of the special symbols 13A, 13B, 13C to the fixed stop display, that is, during the determination notification production and during the execution of the big hit game, if the game ball wins the start winning opening 14 to 16 , a maximum of four balls' worth of random numbers for judging whether or not a big hit is stored in the random number data storage unit 73, and the special figure judgment is suspended.

The notice determination unit 74B determines whether or not to execute the aforementioned cut-in notice effect during the determination notification effect. The notice determination section 74B determines whether or not to execute the cut-in notice effect, and also determines which cut-in notice effect is to be executed, and outputs these determination results to the effect control portion 75.例文帳に追加And, together with the information acquired from the special figure determination section 74A, the effect control section 75 determines the content of the effect during the determination notification effect, and executes the determination notification effect on the display screen 13G.

The notice determination unit 74B determines whether or not to execute the cut-in notice effect and which cut-in notice effect is to be executed, using a random number value for judging whether or not the big hit is decided in advance in the notice data table. It is determined by whether or not it matches the previously announced winning random number. The advance notice data table is stored in the control data storage unit 76 . FIG. 9B shows a high-probability advance notice data table used for determination in a high-probability state. In the high-probability state, when the random number for judging whether or not to win a big hit is 0-9 or 20-29, a cut-in notice effect that changes to red is performed, and when it is 10-19 or 30-34, it changes to gold. The cut-in notice effect is performed, and the cut-in notice effect is not performed otherwise. In addition, the random numbers for winning the advance notice include random numbers for which the judgment result is a big hit and random numbers for which the judgment result is a failure. , for example, the cut-in notice effect of changing to red is 50%, and the cut-in effect of changing to gold is 80%.

The counter 77 receives the determination result of the special figure determination from the special figure determination unit 74A, and the play time start counter C1 that counts the number of consecutive deviations L1 of the special figure determination in the low probability state, and the special figure of the deviation during the play time It has a plurality of counters such as a play time end counter C2 for counting the number L2 of consecutive omissions in figure determination. Then, the effect control unit 75 acquires information about the number of times L1 and L2 of consecutive failures from the counter 77, and determines the start and end of the play time. Further, when the remaining number of times up to the first specified number of times N reaches the first remaining number of times based on the number of times L1 of consecutive failures acquired from the counter 77, the effect control unit 75 performs the remaining number of times on the display screen 13G as described above. The notification unit 13L starts to display the remaining number of times up to the first specified number N, and counts down until the remaining number of times up to the first specified number N becomes zero. It should be noted that the remaining number of times reporting unit 13L corresponds to the "intermediate output means" in the scope of claims.

Now, in the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, in the low-probability state, the low-probability advance notice data table referred to when the advance notice determination unit 74B determines whether or not to execute the cut-in advance notice effect is stored in the control data storage unit 76. There are multiple available. The advance notice determination unit 74B executes table selection processing, which will be described later, and selects and uses one of the plurality of tables in accordance with the progress of the game.

Specifically, three types of tables T1, T2, and T3 shown in FIG. 10 are used as the low-probability advance notice data tables. For example, when the table T1 is selected, when the random number for judging the success or failure of the big hit is 0 or 10-28, a cut-in notice effect that changes to red is performed, and when the random number is 1 or 30-38, it changes to gold. The cut-in notice effect is set to be performed, and the cut-in notice effect is not performed otherwise. The total number set in the advance notice winning random number value is smaller in table T2 than in table T1 and smaller in table T3 than in table T2. That is, when the table T3 is selected, the execution frequency of the cut-in notice effect is lower than when the other tables are selected. Then, in this embodiment, as the play time rushes closer, the table used as the low-probability advance notice data table is changed from table T1 to table T2, and from table T2 to table T3. Note that the cut-in announcement effect corresponds to the "first preliminary effect" in the claims, and the announcement determination section 74B corresponds to the "effect control execution means" in the claims.

It should be noted that in each table, the advance notice random number includes random numbers that result in a big hit and random numbers that result in a loss. Table T3 also contains more random numbers that result in a big win. That is, as the play time approaches, it becomes easier to win a big win when the cut-in announcement effect is executed (the reliability of the big win increases).

In addition, in the high probability state, the data table for high probability notice when determining whether or not to execute the cut-in notice effect is only the one shown in FIG. As described above, the execution frequency of the cut-in announcement effect and the reliability of the big hit do not change according to the progress of the game.

Next, referring to FIG. 11, table selection processing executed by the advance notice determination unit 74B will be described. The advance notice determination unit 74B executes table selection processing at a predetermined cycle, and when the number of times L1 of consecutive omissions in the special figure determination counted by the play time start counter C1 reaches a predetermined number of times, at the time of low probability Any one of the tables T1 to T3 is selected as the advance notice data table, but otherwise the table selection process is immediately exited (NO in S25, NO in S26, NO in S27, and NO in S28). Then, when the number of consecutive failures L1 is 0 (YES in S25), the advance notice determination unit 74B selects the table T1 as the low-probability advance notice data table (S29). That is, when the gaming state becomes a low-probability state, it is first determined whether or not to execute the cut-in notice effect and which cut-in notice effect is to be executed using the notice winning random number value of the table T1. do.

Next, when the number of consecutive failures L1 reaches 500 times (that is, when the remaining number of times up to the first specified number of times N becomes the first remaining number of times (400 times)) (NO in S25, YES in S26), Table T2 is selected as the low-probability advance notice data table (S30). As a result, when the remaining number of times up to the first prescribed number of times N becomes the first remaining number of times, whether or not to execute the cut-in announcement effect and which cut-in announcement is performed are determined using the announcement winning random number value of the table T2. It is determined whether or not to execute the production. When the number of times T1 of consecutive failures reaches 500 times, as described above, the remaining number of times up to the first specified number of times N is started to be displayed in the remaining number of times informing section 13L of the display screen 13G, and the player can play the game. Become aware of the number of remaining times until the time. Note that 500 times corresponds to the "intermediate number of times" in the scope of claims.

Furthermore, when the number L1 of consecutive failures reaches 750 times (that is, when the remaining number of times up to the first prescribed number N becomes the second remaining number of times (150 times in this embodiment)) (NO in S25, If NO in S26, YES in S27), table T3 is selected as the low-probability advance notice data table (S31). As a result, when the remaining number of times up to the first prescribed number of times N becomes the second remaining number of times, whether or not to execute the cut-in announcement effect and which cut-in announcement is made using the announcement winning random number value of the table T3. It is determined whether or not to execute the production. It should be noted that 750 times corresponds to the "intermediate number of times" in the scope of claims.

Then, when the number of times L1 of consecutive failures reaches 900 times, which is the first prescribed number of times N, and the idle time starts (NO in S25, NO in S26, NO in S27, YES in S28), the data table for advance notice at low probability (S32). As a result, after entering the play time, it is determined whether or not to execute the cut-in advance notice effect and which cut-in advance notice effect is to be executed using the notice winning random value of the table T1 again.

Here, as described above, if the play time ends without winning a single jackpot after entering the play time, the number of consecutive losses L1 is not reset. Even if has reached the first specified number of times N, it does not enter the idle time (see FIG. 7). Therefore, the low-probability advance notice data table is not changed from the table T1 unless the next big win is won and the number of consecutive losses L1 is not reset. On the other hand, when a big win is won during the play time or after the end of the play time, the number L1 of consecutive losses counted until then is reset, so that the number L1 of consecutive losses starts counting from 0.例文帳に追加Therefore, as the number of consecutive failures approaches the first prescribed number N again, the low-probability advance notice data table is changed step by step to the table T2 and the table T3.

The description of the configuration of the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment is as above. Next, functions and effects of the gaming machine 10 of this embodiment will be described. In the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, in the middle of the judgment notification production for notifying the judgment results of the first and second special figure judgments, a cut-in notice production that suggests the degree of expectation of a big hit may be performed. When the advance notice effect is executed, the player feels that the chances are increased and the player may win a big prize, and the expectations for the winning are increased.

In addition, in this embodiment, when the number L1 of continuous out of the first and second special figure determination in the low probability state reaches the first specified number of times N, the game state is switched to the time saving state so as to enter the play time. It's becoming Here, as described above, for example, if the disconnection continues in a low probability short working hours state, when entering the play time and becoming a low probability short working hours state, there is a high probability that it becomes a high probability short working hours state and a low probability short working hours Since it is possible to recover the negative ball output balance of the state, under the situation where the number of consecutive losses L1 is approaching the first prescribed number N, the player wins the above-mentioned ska hit in the special figure judgment and is low. Rather than continuing the game in a fixed and non-time-saving state, you will want to get out of the special figure judgment and enter the play time. Moreover, in the present embodiment, when the number of times remaining until the number T1 of consecutive failures reaches the first specified number N reaches the first remaining number of times, the remaining number of times notification unit 13L starts to display the countdown of the remaining number of times. It becomes easier to recognize that the time rush is approaching, and the number of players who desire to be out of the special figure determination increases.

Therefore, in a situation where the play time is approaching, if the cut-in notice effect suggesting the degree of expectation of the big win is frequently executed, the player feels that the big win is more likely to be won, and even if it continues any longer. If the player cannot receive the benefit of the play time, there is a risk that the player's desire to play will decrease. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, when the play time is approaching, the frequency with which the cut-in notice effect is executed during the determination notification effect is reduced. With this configuration, the judgment notification performance in which the cut-in notification performance is not executed increases, so that the player feels that the special figure judgment is likely to be missed, thereby increasing the willingness to play, which is unprecedented. It becomes possible to provide novel games.

Furthermore, in the present embodiment, when the number of remaining times until reaching the first specified number of times N becomes the first remaining number of times and the countdown display is started in the remaining number of times notification section 13L, the entering of the play time approaches. When the second remaining number of times is reached, the execution frequency of the cut-in notice effect is lowered stepwise. As a result, when the countdown display is started and the player begins to be conscious of the play time, the execution frequency of the cut-in notice effect is first reduced, and immediately before the play time enters, the execution frequency of the cut-in notice effect is further reduced. is reduced, it is possible to make the player feel that it is becoming easier to miss the special figure determination as the game time rushes closer, and to want to continue the game because the game may continue to miss as it is.

[Second embodiment]
Next, a gaming machine 10 of a second embodiment to which the present disclosure is applied will be described. In the following description, only differences from the first embodiment will be described, and redundant description of common configurations will be omitted.

In the first embodiment, the execution frequency of the cut-in notice effect itself decreases as the play time approaches. It is configured so that the execution frequency of the cut-in notice effect is low.

Specifically, the random number generator 71, for example, repeatedly adds a random number counter for judging whether or not a big hit is in the range of 0 to 2551. As shown in FIG. If the random number for judgment is 0 to 7, it is a big hit, and if it is 8 to 2551, it is a big hit. Tables used as low-probability advance notice data tables are, for example, three types of tables T4, T5, and T6 shown in FIG. contains random numbers that result in a big hit and random numbers that result in a loss, and the percentage of random numbers that result in a big hit is smaller in the table T5 than in the table T4 and in the table T6 than in the table T5. As a result, the proportion of random numbers that result in an outlier is increased. The table T4 is selected until the remaining number of times until reaching the first specified number of times N reaches the first remaining number of times, and the table T5 is selected until the remaining number of times reaches the second remaining number of times after reaching the first remaining number of times. is selected, and the table T6 is selected from the time when the second remaining number of times is reached until the free time starts.

That is, in the present embodiment, in a low probability state, until the play time is approaching, if the cut-in notice effect is executed, it is easier to win a big hit than if the judgment result is wrong. , Immediately before entering the play time, when the cut-in announcement effect is executed, the judgment result is more likely to be lost than to win a big win. Here, until the entry of the play time approaches, the player usually hopes that the judgment result of the special figure judgment will be a big hit. , the game is played while expecting that the cut-in notice effect will be executed. On the other hand, as the play time rushes closer, as described above, the player expects to be out of the special figure judgment. If it is configured to be, the cut-in notice effect will be an unhappy effect. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, as the play time approaches, when the cut-in notice effect is executed, it changes so that it is easier to lose than to win the big win, so the player can easily lose the big win as the play time approaches. Under such circumstances, when the cut-in notice effect is executed, it is possible to provide an unprecedented novel game that makes it possible to feel that the judgment result is likely to be wrong, and this can increase the desire to play. Become.

[Third Embodiment]
Next, a gaming machine 10 of a third embodiment to which the present disclosure is applied will be described. In the following description, only differences from the first and second embodiments will be described, and redundant description of common configurations will be omitted.

In this embodiment, in the first and second determination notification effects, before the ready-to-win effect is executed, a battle effect is performed to suggest whether or not to execute the ready-to-win effect. In the battle effect, for example, an image of a fight between an ally character and an enemy character is displayed on the display screen 13G, and whether the ready-to-win effect is executed or not is suggested depending on whether the game wins or loses. In the case of a big hit, as described above, the ready-to-win production is performed in the judgment notification production, so when the judgment result is a big hit, both the battle production and the ready-to-win production are performed, and the execution of the battle production is the game. It will be a performance that excites the mood of the person.

The battle determination section 74</b>C of the determination section 74 determines whether or not the battle effect is to be executed in the determination notification effect. In the battle determination unit 74C, using a random number value for judging whether or not a big hit is performed, it is determined whether or not to execute a battle production, and also to determine whether or not to execute a ready-to-win production after the battle production. The presence or absence of a battle presentation and the presence or absence of execution of a ready-to-win presentation after the battle presentation are determined depending on whether or not they match with the winning random number.

FIG. 13 shows the battle winning random number value for determining the battle effect in the low probability state and the ready-to-win winning random value for determining the ready-to-win effect. Specifically, it is set so that when the random number for judging whether or not the big hit is 0 to 400, the battle effect is performed, and when it is 401 or more, the battle effect is not performed. The ready-to-win performance is performed when the random number for judging whether or not the big hit is 0 to 200, and the ready-to-win performance is not performed when the random number is 201 or more. The battle determination unit 74C determines whether or not there is a battle effect and whether or not a ready-to-win effect is to be executed after the battle effect, and also determines the content of the battle effect, and outputs these determination results to the effect control unit 75.例文帳に追加Then, the effect control section 75 determines the content of the determination notification effect and executes the determination notification effect on the display screen 13G.

In addition, a data table for determining the content of the battle presentation is stored in the control data storage section 76. FIG. In the present embodiment, the content of the battle production is set so that the ally character wins and the ally character loses. In the data table W1, the content of the battle effect when the ready-to-win effect does not proceed is that the friendly character is defeated, and the content of the battle effect when the ready-to-win effect does not proceed is to win the friendly character. There are two types of data tables, ie, a data table W2 in which the content of the battle presentation when proceeding is that the ally character is defeated. Then, the battle determination unit 74C selects one of the data tables by executing a battle selection process which will be described later. In this embodiment, the data table W1 is changed to the data table W12 when the free time is approaching. The battle effect corresponds to the "pre-reach effect" in the claims, and the battle determination section 74C corresponds to the "notification effect means" in the claims.

Specifically, in the low-probability state, as described above, the number of consecutive omissions L1 of special figure determination by the play time start counter C1 is counted, but the number of consecutive omissions L1 reaches the first specified number N The data table W1 is selected until the remaining number of times until reaching the second remaining number of times, and after reaching the second remaining number of times, the data table W2 is selected until the first specified number of times N is reached. It's like In other words, until the number of consecutive failures L1 reaches the first prescribed number N of times N reaches the second remaining number of times, the allied character wins in the battle effect and advances to the ready-to-win effect. , and after reaching the second remaining number of times until reaching the first specified number of times N, the ally character is defeated in the battle presentation and progresses to the ready-to-win presentation.

In the high-probability state, the allied character wins in the battle effect and proceeds to the ready-to-reach effect, and as in the low-probability state, the allied character loses in the battle effect according to the progress of the game. It does not proceed to reach production.

The battle selection process executed by the battle determination unit 74C will be described below with reference to FIG. The battle determination unit 74C executes the battle selection process at a predetermined cycle, and when the number L1 of consecutive omissions in the special figure determination counted by the play time start counter C1 reaches a predetermined number, the data table W1 or One of W2 is selected, and otherwise the battle selection process is immediately exited (NO in S33, NO in S34, NO in S35). Then, when the number of consecutive losses L1 is 0 (YES in S33), the battle determination unit 74C selects the data table W1 (S36). That is, when the game state becomes a low-probability state, the data table W1 is first selected, and the effect contents are set such that the teammate character wins in the battle effect and advances to the ready-to-win effect.

Next, when the number of consecutive failures T1 reaches 750 times (that is, when the remaining number of times up to the first specified number of times N becomes the second remaining number of times (150 times)) (NO in S33, YES in S34), Data table W2 is selected (S37). As a result, when the number of remaining times up to the first prescribed number of times N becomes the second remaining number of times, the data table W2 is selected, and the performance contents are set such that the ally character wins in the battle performance and does not proceed to the ready-to-win performance. It should be noted that 750 times corresponds to the "intermediate number of times" in the scope of claims.

Then, when the number of times T1 of consecutive failures reaches 900 times of the first prescribed number of times N and the free time starts (NO in S33, NO in S34, YES in S35), the data table W1 is selected (S38). As a result, after entering the play time, the effect contents are set so that the friendly character wins in the battle effect and advances to the ready-to-win effect.

Here, as described above, if the play time ends without winning a single jackpot after entering the play time, the number of consecutive losses L1 is not reset. Even if has reached the first specified number of times N, it does not enter the idle time (see FIG. 7). Therefore, the data table W1 will not be changed to the data table W2 unless the next big win is won and the number of consecutive losses L1 is reset. On the other hand, when a big win is won during the play time or after the end of the play time, the number L1 of consecutive losses counted until then is reset, so that the number L1 of consecutive losses starts counting from 0.例文帳に追加Therefore, when the number of consecutive failures approaches the first specified number of times N again, the data table is changed to W2.

According to the configuration of the present embodiment, in the low probability state, until the play time is approaching, the ally character wins in the battle effect and proceeds to the ready-to-win effect. It is configured so that the ally character wins and does not proceed to the ready-to-win effect. Here, until the entry of the play time approaches, the player usually hopes that the judgment result of the special figure judgment will be a big hit, so the execution of the ready-to-win effect that is always performed when the big hit is won is the game. Since it is a happy production that makes players feel a big hit, the production in which the ally character wins in the battle production and advances to the ready-to-win production has contents that match the psychology of the player. On the other hand, as the play time rushes closer, as described above, the player expects to be out of the special figure judgment, so it is better for the player not to proceed to the ready-to-win effect. Therefore, the effect that the teammate character wins in the battle effect and advances to the ready-to-win effect results in an effect that conflicts with the player's psychology. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, when the play time is approaching, the content is changed so that the ally character wins in the battle effect when the ready-to-win effect does not proceed. can lift your mood. In this way, it is possible to provide a novel game that has never existed before, in which the ally character wins and does not proceed to the ready-to-win effect, which increases the willingness to play.

In each of the data tables W1 and W2, a plurality of types of ally characters, enemy characters, and details of victory and defeat of the ally characters are set. It is included in the random number set for special figure determination acquired from the storage unit 73 . Then, it is determined by whether or not those random numbers match the random numbers preset in each of the data tables W1 and W2.

[Fourth embodiment]
Next, a gaming machine 10 of a fourth embodiment to which the present disclosure is applied will be described. In the following description, only differences from the third embodiment will be described, and redundant description of common configurations will be omitted.

In the third embodiment, in the low-probability state, until the remaining number of times until reaching the first prescribed number of times N reaches the second remaining number of times, if the friendly character wins, the ready-to-win effect is always performed. However, after reaching the second remaining number of times, if the ally character is defeated, the leech effect is always performed, and if the ally character wins, the leech effect is not always performed. In this embodiment, regardless of the remaining number of times until reaching the first prescribed number of times N, whether the ready-to-win effect is advanced or not, the contents of the battle production are both victorious and defeated by the ally character. It is configured with. Then, before and after reaching the second remaining number of times, the frequency with which the ally character wins is made different.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 15, in the data table W1A used until the remaining number of times until reaching the first prescribed number N reaches the second remaining number of times, the ready-to-win effect is executed. When the random number for judging whether or not to win a big hit is 0-150, the effect of the victory of the ally character is executed, and when it is 151-200, the effect of the defeat of the ally character is executed. . In addition, in the data table W2A used after the remaining number of times reaches the second remaining number of times and before entering the play time, the contents of the battle presentation when the ready-to-win presentation is executed are: When the number is 0 or 1, an effect that the ally character wins is executed, and when the number is 2 to 200, an effect is executed that the ally character loses. In other words, when the play time is approaching, the frequency with which the ally character wins and advances to the ready-to-win effect is reduced. In the present embodiment, after the number of remaining times reaches the second remaining number of times, the effect that the friendly character wins is executed only when the jackpot is won. may be

In the present embodiment, when the remaining number of times until reaching the first specified number of times N reaches the second remaining number of times, the frequency with which the friendly character wins and advances to the ready-to-win effect is executed only once. Although the configuration is such that the value is lowered, the configuration may be such that the value is lowered step by step until the first specified number of times N is reached.

[Other embodiments]
(1) In the first embodiment, as the play time approaches, the execution frequency of the cut-in notice effect itself decreases, while the reliability of the big win increases. , the execution frequency of the cut-in announcement performance may be set to be low, while the reliability of the big win remains unchanged.

Specifically, the random number generation unit 71, for example, similarly to the second embodiment, the random number counter for judging whether or not a big hit is repeatedly incremented in the range of 0 to 2551. If the random number is 0 to 7, it will be a big hit, and if it is 8 to 2551, it will be a big hit. Tables used as low-probability advance notice data tables are, for example, three types of tables T7, T8, and T9 shown in FIG. change the table to be used from table T7 to table T8 and from table T8 to table T9. And, while the total number set in the advance notice winning random number is smaller in table T8 than in table T7 and smaller in table T9 than in table T8, the reliability of the big hit is different from that in the first embodiment. The big hit reliability is not changed in any of the tables T7 to T9.

(2) In the second embodiment, as the play time approaches, the execution frequency of the cut-in notice effect in the case where the judgment result is a hit decreases, and the execution frequency of the cut-in notice effect itself also decreases. However, while the execution frequency of the cut-in notice effect when the determination result is a win may be reduced, the execution frequency of the cut-in notice effect itself may be the same.

(3) In the above embodiment, the cut-in notice effect suggests whether the special figure determination is a big hit or a miss, but it may also suggest whether or not to execute the ready-to-win effect.

(4) In the above-described embodiment, as the announcement effect executed in the middle of the judgment notification effect, a story announcement effect that suggests the reliability of the big hit depending on the content of the unfolding story may be executed, and as the play time approaches, A configuration may be adopted in which the execution frequency of the story preview effect is reduced.

(5) In the above-described embodiment, the cut-in notice effect executed in the middle of the judgment notification effect suggests the reliability of the big hit regarding the judgment result notified in the judgment notification effect. When a game ball wins to 16 and the suspension of special figure determination occurs, the determination result of the special figure determination corresponding to the suspension may suggest the reliability for a big hit.

(6) In the above-described third and fourth embodiments, the content of the battle production was set to include the victory of the ally character and the defeat of the ally character. may have been In this case, until the number of consecutive failures L1 reaches the first specified number N reaches the second remaining number of times, the friendly character wins in the battle effect, or the ready-to-win effect is performed when the character is tied. After reaching the second remaining number of times, it may be configured not to proceed to the ready-to-win effect when the ally character wins or draws in the battle effect. Further, at this time, until the second remaining number of times is reached, when the friendly characters are defeated or tied in the battle production, the ready-to-win production is not performed. It may be configured such that when the ally character wins or draws in the presentation, the ready-to-win presentation is performed.

(7) In the third and fourth embodiments, the execution frequency of the cut-in notice effect becomes lower as the play time approaches, and the effect content when the ready-to-win effect is executed in the battle effect is the friendly character. However, it is not necessary to have a configuration in which the execution frequency of the cut-in notice effect is lowered.

(8) In the third and fourth embodiments, each of the data tables W1, W2, W1A, and W2A contains the details of the battle effect when the ready-to-win effect is executed and the details of the battle effect when the ready-to-win effect is not executed. However, separate data tables may be set for when the ready-to-win effect is executed and when the ready-to-win effect is not executed.

In addition, in the battle effect, whether the ready-to-win effect is executed or not, the effect content for winning the ally character and the effect content for defeating the ally character may be common or different. may be

(9) In the third and fourth embodiments, during the battle production, when an image of a battle between friendly characters and enemy characters is displayed, the player is caused to operate, for example, an operation button (not shown), A configuration in which a player participates may also be used.

(10) The variable display time of the normal pattern 13D in the normal pattern determination and the opening time of the second start winning opening 15 are the time saving state when the play time is entered and the time saving state when the play time is not entered It may be different depending on the state. For example, the time saving state when the play time is rushing is set to be more advantageous, and the variable display time of the normal pattern 13D is set shorter than the time saving state when the play time is not rushing. The opening time of the 2-start winning opening 15 may be lengthened. Alternatively, only one of them may be different.

In addition, the hit probability of normal figure determination in the time saving state when the play time is rushed may be set higher than the time saving state when the play time is not rushed, for example, the play time is rushed The hit probability of the normal pattern determination in the time saving state when there is 10/10, and the hit probability of the normal pattern determination in the time saving state when the play time is not entered may be smaller than that.

(11) The types of jackpots in the low-probability short-time state and low-probability short-time state when the play time is entered are the low-probability short-time state and low-probability short-time state when the play time is not entered It may be different from the type of jackpot in . For example, it may be set so that the jackpot when the play time is rushing is more advantageous, and after the jackpot game when the play time is rushing, the high-probability time-saving state is always set. .

(12) In the above-described embodiment, if a jackpot is won during the play time, the play time ends. Until the special figure determination of the specified number of times J is digested, the time saving state may be maintained.

(13) In the above-described embodiment, if the play time ends without winning the next jackpot after the play time has entered, the play time is not entered again, but this configuration is limited. Instead, even if the play time ends without winning the next jackpot even after entering the play time, the play time may enter again.
