Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine having display means, and more particularly, to a technique for effect display using display means.

In a gaming machine, for example, a first-class pachinko machine, a lottery is performed when a game ball wins a start winning opening provided on the game board. If the result of the lottery is a win, a so-called “big hit game” is executed. The In “Big Bonus Game”, the big prize opening opening / closing member that opens and closes the big prize opening (variable prize winning device) provided on the game board is controlled to open, and the game ball fired by the player on the game board becomes the big prize opening. You can win. Then, when the game ball wins the big winning opening, the number of winning balls corresponding to the big winning opening is paid out. As a result, the player can obtain more prize balls at the time of “big hit game” than at the time of normal game.
Since the big winning prize opening is controlled to open in the “hit game”, the player is very interested in whether or not the “hit game” is executed, that is, whether or not the lottery result is a win. Therefore, whether or not the lottery result is a win is displayed on the display means using a lottery symbol.
In addition, in such a gaming machine, the result of the lottery is “probability variation game” (generally called “probability variation game”) in which the probability that the result of the lottery wins is higher than that in the normal game. If it is a winning hit (hereinafter referred to as “probable hit”), first, a “big hit game” is executed, and after the “big hit game” is completed, a “probable change game” is further executed for a predetermined period. .
In the “probability game”, the lottery probability is high, so the player is very interested in whether or not the game is “probable change”, that is, whether or not the result of the lottery is win.
Therefore, when displaying the lottery result on the display means, it is displayed on the display means whether or not “probable change game” is performed, that is, whether or not the lottery result is “probable hit”. A gaming machine has been proposed. (See Patent Document 1)
JP 2002-28315 A

When a conventional gaming machine displays on a display means whether or not a lottery result is a win, the fact that a “probability change game” is executed, that is, the lottery result is “probable win” is displayed. Therefore, the production effect is low. Therefore, in order to increase the player's expectation for “probability change game” and enhance the production effect, the fact that “probability change game” is executed, that is, “probability hit” is notified during the jackpot game. It is possible. For example, during a jackpot game, when a predetermined number of game balls wins in the above-mentioned jackpot, the notification information of “probable hit” is displayed on the display means displaying the jackpot effect display.
In this way, during the jackpot game, when a predetermined number of game balls have been won in the jackpot, the notification information of “probability change” is displayed on the display means, so that the player can change the “probability change” by the game during the jackpot game. Satisfaction that has acquired the right of "game", that is, "promotion of probability change" is obtained, and the player's expectation for "probability change game" is increased, and the effect of production is increased.

However, when using the fact that a predetermined number of game balls have been won at the big winning opening during the big hit game as the notification condition to the display means of the notification information of “probable hit”, the big hit effect display displayed on the display means is There is a case where the information is divided (for example, the notification information of “probable change” is displayed while the character is continuously moving, and the continuous movement of the character is interrupted). Thus, when the jackpot effect display is divided, the effect of the jackpot effect display is reduced.
In view of the above, the present invention can display predetermined display information such as “probable change” while smoothly displaying an effect display according to a lottery result such as a jackpot effect display on the display means. An object is to provide a gaming machine.

In order to achieve the above object, the invention described in the claims is configured.
(Invention of Claim 1)
The gaming machine according to claim 1,
Lottery means for performing lottery due to establishment of lottery conditions;
Display means;
When the lottery result by the lottery means becomes a win and the variable winning device is controlled to open and a jackpot game in which a privilege is given to the player is being executed, a jackpot effect display that is an effect display during the jackpot game is displayed on the display means Display control means for displaying on,
The jackpot effect display is composed of a plurality of partial effect displays divided into a plurality of parts displayed at the time before and after ,
The display control means includes
Among the plurality of partial effect displays, when the display of the partial effect display that is displayed first on the display means ends, the number of game balls set in the variable winning device after the execution of the jackpot game is started Determine if you ’re entering the ball ,
When a predetermined number of game balls have entered the variable winning device , predetermined display information is displayed on the display means, and then the partial effect displayed next to the partial effect display displayed first. Display the display on the display means;
When a set number of game balls have not entered the variable winning device, the partial effect display displayed first is repeatedly displayed on the display means,
The display time of the partial effect display that is displayed first is set to be shorter than the average time from the start of execution of the jackpot game until the set number of game balls enter the variable winning device. Features.

  The gaming machine according to claim 1 includes at least lottery means, display means, and display control means.
  The “lottery means” of the present invention performs lottery due to the establishment of the lottery conditions. The “lottery condition” widely includes lottery conditions set in advance for gaming machines. Typically, in the case where the gaming machine is a so-called first type pachinko machine, the lottery condition is satisfied when the gaming ball enters the start winning opening provided in the gaming board.
  In this lottery, a lottery related to the execution of “big hit game” in which a privilege is given to the player is performed. If the lottery result is “probability per win”, as described in the above-mentioned conventional technique, normally, the jackpot game is started, and after the jackpot game is ended, the “probability change game” is further performed for a predetermined period.
  In addition, as the “lottery”, a method is generally used in which a random number is read due to the establishment of the lottery condition, the value of the read random number is determined, and this determination result is used as the lottery result. May be done in other ways.

The “display control means” of the present invention sequentially displays on the display means a partial effect display obtained by dividing the jackpot effect display into a plurality of front and rear parts when the lottery result by the lottery means is won and the jackpot game is executed.
As the “display means”, various display devices are widely included, and for example, liquid crystal displays are frequently used in gaming machines. The display means includes a case where the display means is combined with a symbol display device that displays a combination of the predetermined symbols indicating the lottery results, and a case where the display means is dedicated to effect display. The display method of the effect display displayed on the display means includes various modes, but a mode of performing effect display (animation display) such as a continuous moving image using a character or the like is frequently used.
Each “partial effect display” is configured to display a continuous moving image, for example. “Previous” indicates the context of the displayed time. And " partial effect display divided into multiple parts displayed at the time before and after " means that when there are multiple "different types" partial effect displays, the display time is "substantially equivalent type" partial effect display When there are a plurality of partial effect displays (for example, a partial effect display of a standard display pattern and a partial effect display of a shortened display pattern), a case where both are provided is widely included. Further, it is preferable that a continuous moving image is displayed by selecting a partial effect display divided into a plurality of parts displayed at the time before and after and sequentially displaying the partial effects . In this case, it may be configured such that the partial effect display starts and ends at a segment of the moving image that is not unnatural even if the effect display is interrupted.
Here, “different types” and “substantially equivalent types” are sufficient if the person who sees the display can feel this way. For example, a display in which a predetermined character moves in the horizontal direction and a display in which it moves in the vertical direction are “different types” of partial effect display, and a display when the horizontal movement distance is long or the movement speed is slow (for example, standard) The partial display of the display pattern) and the display when the horizontal movement distance is short or the movement speed is fast (for example, the partial display of the shortened display pattern) are “substantially equivalent types” of partial display. .
Furthermore, the “display control means” according to the present invention provides a jackpot game when the display of the partial effect display that is displayed first is completed in the partial effect display divided into a plurality of parts displayed at the preceding and following times. It is determined whether or not a set number of game balls have entered the variable prize-winning device since the start of the execution . If a predetermined number of game balls have entered the variable winning device, after displaying predetermined display information on the display means, the partial effect display displayed next to the partial effect display displayed first is displayed on the display means. To do. If the set number of game balls have not entered the variable winning device, the partial effect display that is displayed first is repeatedly displayed on the display means. The display time of the partial effect display that is displayed first is set shorter than the average time from the start of the execution of the jackpot game until the set number of game balls enter the variable winning device .
“If a set number of game balls have entered the variable winning device” means that a set number of game balls have already entered the variable winning device when the partial effect display immediately before displaying predetermined display information is completed. It is only necessary that the number of game balls entered in the variable winning device before the display of the partial effect display ends.
In addition, the “predetermined display information” includes all display information for giving some notification to the player, display information for production, and the like.
That is, as a mode of displaying “predetermined display information on the display means if a set number of game balls have entered the variable prize winning device”, typically, the jackpot game effect display (based on the lottery result) When a big hit game state occurs, a set number of game balls have entered the big prize opening when a partial effect display divided into a plurality of parts displayed at the time before and after is displayed on the display means) In this case, a mode in which “notification information per probability change” (predetermined display information) is displayed on the display means is shown.
In addition, “when the display of the partial effect display that is displayed first ends” means that the display of the partial effect display that is displayed first ends, if it is the moment when it ends, immediately before it ends All cases where it is within a predetermined time before and after the termination, such as when In other words, whether or not a set number of game balls have entered the variable winning device may not be determined after the display of the partial effect display displayed first is finished, but the partial effect displayed first. It may be performed when the display is still displayed.
The “gaming machine” of the present invention includes all gaming machines that display effects with a pachinko machine, an arrange ball machine, a slot machine, etc., but the first type pachinko machine is typical.

  According to the gaming machine of the present invention, the predetermined display information described above is displayed when the partial effect display that is displayed first ends, and then the partial effect display that is displayed later is displayed. Thereby, the display of the moving image is smoothly resumed without unnaturally dividing the motion of the moving image of the effect display by displaying the predetermined display information.

(Invention of Claim 2)
  The gaming machine according to claim 2 is the gaming machine according to claim 1, wherein the first partial effect display set at the first display time is used as the partial effect display displayed first. A second partial effect display set at a second display time shorter than the first display time is provided, and the display control means displays the previously displayed partial effect display as the display means. When displaying the first partial effect display, the first partial effect display is displayed first, and when repeatedly displaying, the second partial effect display is displayed.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to display predetermined display information while smoothly displaying an effect display such as a continuous video using the display means.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

(First embodiment)
Hereinafter, an example of the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In this embodiment, the present invention is applied to a pachinko machine that is one of gaming machines. In the present embodiment, when the lottery result is “probable hit”, during the jackpot game, the jackpot effect display constituted by four partial effect displays is displayed on the display means, and the first partial effect display The lottery result was “probably per win”, based on the conditions that the game ended and the condition that “predetermined number” of game balls entered (wins) in the big prize opening that is controlled to open when the jackpot game is executed. , “Notification information per probability change” is displayed.
Note that the “predetermined number” is set to a number equal to or less than the upper limit number when the upper limit number of gaming balls are won and the closing control is performed after the upper limit number of game balls are won. In the present embodiment, the upper limit number is set to 10 and the “predetermined number” is set to 5 (≦ 10).
FIG. 1 is a front view of a pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a control system of the pachinko machine 100. In FIG. 3, the flowchart figure which shows each step of the process which displays the "probability change notification information" which the main control part of the pachinko machine 100 performs is shown. FIG. 4 to FIG. 7 are timing charts showing the timing at which “probability change notification information” is displayed in the middle of the effect display during the jackpot game. 8 to 13 show examples of the jackpot effect display displayed on the display means of the pachinko machine 100 and the display of “probability change hit notification information”.

First, a schematic configuration of the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
On the game board surface 111 of the pachinko machine 100, a display device 120 such as a liquid crystal display, a start winning opening 130, a large winning opening 140, a launch handle 170, and the like are arranged at appropriate positions.
A game ball (pachinko ball) that wins the start winning opening 130 is detected by a start opening sensor 131 (see also FIG. 2).
The display device 120 of the pachinko machine 100 of the present embodiment is an element corresponding to the “display unit” of the present invention. The special winning opening 140 is an element corresponding to the “variable winning device” of the present invention.

The big prize opening 140 has a lid-like big prize opening opening / closing member 150 that is controlled to open and close to an open position where a game ball can win the big prize opening 140 and a closed position where a game ball can not win the big prize opening 140. Is provided. The special prize opening / closing member 150 is controlled to be opened / closed by a special prize opening / closing member driving unit 50 (refer to FIG. 2 together).
The big winning opening / closing member 150 is controlled to open when a result of a lottery performed when a game ball enters the starting winning opening 130 is hit and a “big winning game” state is generated. The special winning opening / closing member 150 is configured such that, for example, when a predetermined period has elapsed since opening control (for example, after 30 seconds have elapsed) or a preset upper limit number (for example, 10) of gaming balls has entered the special winning opening 140. When the ball enters the ball, the closing control is performed (from the opening control to the closing control is referred to as “round”). Until the total number of rounds reaches a predetermined number (for example, 15 rounds), the game ball proceeds to the next round when the game ball passes through a special area (not shown) of the special winning opening 140 during the round. it can.
A game ball that has entered the special winning opening 140 is detected by the special winning opening sensor 141 (refer to FIG. 2 together).

In addition, the display device 120 is provided with a symbol display unit 121 that displays the symbols in a variable manner.
In the symbol display unit 121, symbols according to the lottery result obtained by lottery performed due to the winning of the game ball in the start winning opening 130, that is, due to the establishment of the lottery conditions, are variably displayed. . Further, when the result of the lottery is a win and the “big hit game” state is generated, a big hit effect display for displaying a character or the like in a moving image is made during the big hit game.
Further, in the present embodiment, the symbol display unit 121 displays that the lottery result is “per probability change” (whether or not the probability change is subtracted), that is, “probability per notification information”.
The launch handle (launch means) 170 is used when launching a game ball onto the game board surface.

And the control system of the pachinko machine 100 of this Embodiment is comprised by making the main control part (main control part) 10 into a main body, as shown in FIG. Although not particularly shown, the main control unit 10 is provided with a processing circuit (CPU), a storage circuit (ROM, RAM, etc.), an input interface circuit, an output interface circuit, and the like.
Various input signals are input to the main control unit 10. For example, detection signals from the start opening sensor 131, the special winning opening sensor 141, and the like are appropriately input.
The main control unit 10 outputs a command signal and a control signal based on an input signal, a control program stored in the storage circuit, and the like. For example, a command signal is output to the display control unit 20 that controls the display of the display device 120, the prize ball control unit 60 that controls the prize ball device 160 that executes the payout of prize balls, and the like, and the special winning opening opening / closing member 150 is driven. A control signal is output to the prize winning opening / closing member driving unit (for example, solenoid) 50 or the like.
The display control unit 20 of the present embodiment corresponds to the “display control unit” of the present invention.

An outline of the operation of the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment having such a configuration will be described below.
The game balls ejected to the game board 111 by the launch handle 170 flow down on the game board surface while the flow down mode is changed by a nail, a windmill or the like provided on the game board 111.
When the game ball enters the start winning opening 130, the game ball is detected by the start opening sensor 131. As a result, a detection signal from the start port sensor 131 is sent to the main control unit 10.
When the detection signal from the start port sensor 131 is input, the main control unit 10 outputs a command signal to the prize ball control unit 60 and pays the number of prize balls corresponding to the start winning port 130 from the prize ball device 160. Let it come out. At the same time, the main control unit 10 performs a lottery and outputs a command signal indicating a variation pattern and a stop symbol corresponding to the lottery result to the display control unit 20. The display control unit 20 displays a stop pattern after displaying a variation pattern corresponding to the command signal input from the main control unit 10.

When the lottery result is “probable hit”, first, the pachinko machine 100 is in the “big hit game” state.
That is, the main control unit 10 outputs a control signal to the special winning opening / closing member driving unit 50 and opens the special winning opening 140 by controlling the opening of the special winning opening / closing member 150. When a game ball enters the big prize opening 140, the game ball is detected by the big prize port sensor 141. As a result, the detection signal from the special winning opening sensor 141 is sent to the main control unit 10 and the display control unit 20. Hereinafter, in this specification, a game ball that has entered the grand prize winning opening 140 is referred to as a winning ball.
As described above, in the jackpot game, the number of winning prizes to the big prize opening 140 has been set to 10 (“pre-set”) after the “big hit game” is started (after the opening of the big prize opening / closing member 150 is controlled). The first round is completed at the time when “the upper limit number”) is reached, or when 30 seconds have passed since the “big hit game” is started, and the big prize opening opening / closing member 150 is closed.
The “big hit game” state of the present embodiment corresponds to the “specific game state” of the present invention.

  In the jackpot game state, the display control unit 20 performs a continuous video effect display, in this case, a character animation display, as an effect display during the jackpot game (a jackpot effect display). Then, at a predetermined timing in the middle of the big hit effect display, it is informed that it is “probable change hit” (display of “probable change hit notification information”). Hereinafter, the display control process executed by the display control unit 20 will be described mainly using the flowchart shown in FIG.

In the present embodiment, the jackpot effect display is divided into four types (A, B, C, D) of partial effect displays.
As partial effect display A, first and second types of partial effect display patterns (partial display information) A (1) and A (2) are provided. The first partial effect display pattern A (1) displays the partial effect display A with the standard display time (first display time), and the second partial effect display pattern A (2) is the partial display A. Are displayed with a shortened display time (second display time) shorter than the standard display time (first display time). Moreover, as partial effect display B, C, D, the 1st-3rd partial effect display pattern B (1)-B (3), the 1st-3rd partial effect display pattern C (1)-C, respectively. (3) Three types of display patterns of first to third partial effect display patterns D (1) to D (3) are provided. The first partial effect display patterns B (1), C (1), and D (1) display the partial effect displays B to D in the standard display time (first display time), and the second partial effect display. Display patterns B (2), C (2), and D (2) display partial effect displays B to D with a shortened display time (second display time) shorter than the standard display time (first display time). The third partial effect display patterns B (3), C (3), and D (3) are displayed with a shortened display time (third display time) shorter than the second display time.
The partial effect displays A to D are displayed in each land during the jackpot game. For example, at the start of each round, partial effect displays A to D are displayed in the order of A → B → C → D.
The “partial effect displays A to D” of the present embodiment correspond to the “partial effect display divided into a plurality of front and rear parts” of the present invention. In addition, the first partial effect display pattern A (1) corresponds to the “first partial effect display having the first display time” of the present invention, and the second partial effect display pattern A (2) is This corresponds to the “second partial effect display having the second display time” of the present invention.

In the present embodiment, the display time (first display time) of the first partial effect display patterns A (1) to D (1) is ta1 (seconds), and the second partial effect display patterns A (2) to The display time (second display time) of D (2) is ta2 (seconds), and the display times (third display time) of the third partial effect display patterns B (3) to D (3) are ta3 (seconds). ) (Ta1 (seconds)> ta2 (seconds)> ta3 (seconds)).
Note that the display times of the partial effect display patterns A (1) to D (1), A (2) to D (2), and B (3) to D (3) can be arbitrarily set.

Here, as shown in FIG. 8, in the partial effect display pattern A (1), the character N reciprocates on the first floor. At the end of the partial effect display pattern A (1), the character N reaches below the ladder H1. Further, as shown in FIG. 11, in the partial effect display pattern B (1), the character N starts to climb the ladder H1 from below the ladder H1 at the start of the partial effect display pattern B (1). At the end of B (1), the character N reaches the top of the ladder H1, that is, the second floor. Further, as shown in FIG. 12, in the partial effect display pattern C (1), the character N reciprocates up and down the second floor. At the end of the partial effect display pattern C (1), the character N reaches below the ladder H2. Further, as shown in FIG. 13, in the partial effect display pattern D (1), at the start of the partial effect display pattern D (1), the character N starts to climb the ladder H2 from below the ladder H2, and the partial effect display pattern At the end of D (1), the character N reaches the top of the ladder H2, that is, the rooftop.
Further, the partial effect display patterns A (2), B (2), C (2), and D (2) are the partial effect display patterns A (1), B (1), C (1), and D (1). For example, a pattern in which the character moves fast or a pattern in which the reciprocating movement distance is short is used. The partial effect display pattern indications B (3), C (3), and D (3) are further shortened patterns of the partial effect display B (2), C (2), and D (2). However, the partial effect display of any shortened pattern is set to perform the same effect display as the partial effect display of the standard pattern (partial effect display A (1), B (1), C (1), D (1)). Has been. For example, the position and action of the character N at the start and end are set in the same display mode.
Thereby, even if any partial effect display pattern of any partial effect display is selected, if partial effect display is made in the order of partial effect display A → partial effect display B → partial effect display C → partial effect display D, The character N is displayed so as to operate continuously.

These partial effect display patterns (A (1), A (2), B (1) to B (3), C (1) to C (3), D (1) to D (3)) are displayed. Each partial effect display information to be displayed is stored in advance in the storage element of the display control unit 20, and the display control unit 20 reads the selected partial effect display information from the storage element at an appropriate timing and displays the display device 120. To display.
The storage element of the display control unit 20 of the present embodiment corresponds to the “storage unit” of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 3, first, the display control unit 20 displays the partial effect display pattern A (1) on the display device 120 in step S10 (refer to FIG. 8 together). As shown in FIG. 8, the symbol display unit 121 of the display device 120 displays the inside of the building having the first floor, the second floor, and the rooftop, and ladders H1, H2 are provided between the first floor, the second floor, and the second floor and the rooftop. Is displayed. In the partial effect display pattern A (1), the human character N reciprocates on the first floor (left and right in FIG. 8). Note that when the display of the partial effect display pattern A (1) is finished, the character N has reached below the ladder H1.
Here, in the present embodiment, the display time ta1 (second) of the partial effect display pattern A (1) is five winning balls (set in advance) in the big winning opening 140 after the jackpot gaming state starts. The upper limit number (predetermined number equal to or less than 10 in the present embodiment) is set to a time slightly shorter (predetermined time) than the average time until winning. That is, at the time when the partial effect display pattern A (1) is displayed once, there is a possibility that the number of winnings to the big winning opening 140 has not reached five (a predetermined gaming event has not been established). , There is a possibility that it has been reached (a predetermined game event has been established), and even if it has been reached, not much time has passed since the number of winning prizes at the big prize opening 140 reached 5 (In the predetermined time before and after the display of the partial effect display A (1), the number of winning prizes to the big winning opening 140 reaches five) The display time of the partial effect display pattern A (1) so as to be in the situation ta1 (seconds) is set.
After executing the process of step S10, the display control unit 20 proceeds to the process of step S12.

In step S12, it is determined whether or not the display of the partial effect display pattern A (1) has been completed. If display of partial production | presentation display pattern A (1) is complete | finished (Yes of step S12), the display control part 20 will progress to the process of step S14. On the other hand, if the display of the partial effect display pattern A (1) has not been completed (No in step S12), the display control unit 20 returns to the process in step S10.
In step S14, it is determined whether or not there are five or more winning balls won in the big winning opening 140. If the number of winning balls to the big winning opening 140 is less than 5 (No in step S14), the display control unit 20 proceeds to the process of step S16. If the number is 5 or more (Yes in step S14), the display control unit 20 proceeds to the process in step S22.
Here, the display control unit 20 can calculate the number of winning balls by counting the detection signals transmitted from the big winning opening sensor 141 to the display control unit 20. The detection signal from the big winning opening sensor 141 may be transmitted to the main control unit 10, and the display control unit 20 may be configured to receive the number data of winning balls via the main control unit 10.

In step S16, the partial effect display pattern A (2) is displayed on the display device 120 (also see FIG. 9). Then, the display device 120 proceeds to the process of step S18.
As shown in FIG. 9, in the partial effect display pattern A (2), the character N is on the first floor (in the horizontal direction in FIG. 8), and the reciprocating movement distance in the partial effect display pattern A (1) shown in FIG. Also reciprocates between short reciprocating distances. Note that the character N has reached below the ladder H1 even when the display of the partial effect display pattern A (2) is completed.
As the partial effect display pattern A (2), a pattern that moves the same reciprocating distance as the partial effect display pattern A (1) in a shorter time than the movement time of the partial effect display pattern A (1) can be used. .

  In step S18, it is determined whether or not the display of the partial effect display pattern A (2) is finished. If display of partial production | presentation display pattern A (2) is complete | finished (Yes of step S18), the display control part 20 will progress to the process of step S20. On the other hand, if the display of the partial effect display pattern A (2) is not completed (No in step S18), the display control unit 20 returns to the process in step S16.

  In step S20, it is determined whether or not there are five or more winning balls that have won the grand prize opening 140 again. If the number is less than 5 (No in step S20), the display control unit 20 returns to the process in step S16. If there are five or more (Yes in step S20), the display control unit 20 proceeds to the process in step S22.

  In step S22, the “probability change notification information” is displayed on the display device 120 (refer to FIG. 10 together). That is, the display control unit 20 interrupts the jackpot effect display in the middle of the jackpot effect display and displays the “probable change hit notification information”. Then, the display control unit 20 proceeds to the process of step S24.

  In step S24, the display control unit 20 selects which partial effect display pattern B, C, or D is to be displayed based on the current winning number. The operation for selecting the partial effect display will be described later in detail. Then, the display control unit 20 proceeds to the process of step S26.

  In step S26, the display is switched again to the jackpot effect display, and the partial effect display patterns B, C, and D selected in step 26 are displayed. Then, the display control unit 20 proceeds to the process of step S28.

  In step S28, it is determined whether or not 10 winning balls have been won in the big winning opening 140. If the number is less than 10 (No in step S28), the display control unit 20 proceeds to the process in step S30. If the number has reached 10 (Yes in step S28), the display control unit 20 returns.

In step S30, the display control unit 20 determines whether or not 30 seconds have elapsed since the display of the partial effect display pattern A (1) was started. If 30 seconds have not elapsed (No in step S30), the display control unit 20 returns to the process in step S26. If it has reached 30 seconds (Yes in step S30), the display control unit 20 returns.
Note that steps S14 and S20 of the program executed by the start opening sensor 131 and the display control means 20 for determining the number of winning prizes correspond to the “determination means” of the present invention. Step S24 corresponds to “partial effect display information selection means”.

Here, the detail of the operation | movement which selects the partial effect display pattern which displays each partial effect display B, C, D by step S24 mentioned above is demonstrated.
In the pachinko machine 100, if the number of winnings is five after displaying the partial effect display pattern A (1) of the partial effect display A during the jackpot effect display on the display device 120, the display of “probability change notification information” is displayed there. I do. In this case, as shown in FIG. 4, “probable change hit notification information” is displayed after ta1 (seconds) has elapsed since the start of the big hit effect display. Here, when the display of the partial effect display pattern A (1) is finished, the number of winnings is five, and when one more game ball (the number of remaining winnings) is won in the big winning opening 140, one round is finished ( The remaining display time of the jackpot effect display is [the time corresponding to [average winning time per game ball × 5]], and when returning to the jackpot effect display again, the partial effect display pattern B (1), Displaying the partial effect display pattern C (1) and the partial effect display pattern D (1) is selected, and the jackpot effect display ends after each partial effect display pattern is displayed.

  In the pachinko machine 100, if the number of winnings is still less than 5 after displaying the partial effect display pattern A (1) of the partial effect display A during the jackpot effect display on the display device 120, the partial effect display pattern A partial effect display pattern A (2) which is a shortened pattern of A (1) is displayed. Then, after displaying the partial effect display pattern A (2), the number of winning is determined, and the display of the partial effect display pattern A (2) is repeated until the number of winning is five or more. Then, as shown in FIG. 5, for example, if the number of winnings has reached 5 after the display of the partial effect display pattern A (2) once, “probability change notification information” is displayed. In this case, “probable change hit notification information” is displayed after {ta1 (seconds) + ta2 (seconds)} has elapsed since the start of the big hit effect display. Here, when the display of the partial effect display pattern A (1) is finished, the number of winning balls is five, and when one more game ball is won in the big winning opening 140, one round is finished, so the big hit effect display is again performed. When returning to, it is selected to display the partial effect display pattern B (1), the partial effect display pattern C (1), and the partial effect display information D (1). After each partial effect display information is displayed, the jackpot The effect display ends.

  In the pachinko machine 100, as shown in FIG. 6, if the number of winnings is already seven after displaying the partial effect display pattern A (1) of the partial effect display A during the big hit effect display on the display device 120, Therefore, the “probability change notification information” is displayed. Here, when the display of the partial effect display pattern A (1) is completed, the number of winning balls is 7, and when one more game balls (remaining winning numbers) are won in the large winning opening 140, one round is completed. (The remaining display time of the jackpot effect display is the time corresponding to [average winning time per game ball x 3]) and it is determined that the time until the end of the effect display of one round is short. After displaying the effect display pattern A (1), it is selected to display the partial effect display pattern B (2), the partial effect display pattern C (2), and the partial effect display pattern D (2) with a short display time. The jackpot effect display ends after each partial effect display pattern is displayed.

  In the pachinko machine 100, as shown in FIG. 7, if the number of winnings is already nine after displaying the partial effect display pattern A (1) of the partial effect display A during the hit effect display on the display device 120, Therefore, a partial effect display pattern is displayed. Here, when the display of the partial effect display pattern A (1) is finished, the number of winnings is already nine, and when one more game ball (the number of remaining winnings) is won in the big winning opening 140, one round is finished. (The remaining display time of the jackpot effect display is the time corresponding to [average winning time per game ball × 1]), and it is determined that the time until the end of the display of one round is particularly short. After displaying the effect display pattern A (1), it is selected to display the partial effect display pattern B (3), the partial effect display pattern C (3), and the partial effect display pattern D (3) whose display time is shorter. After each partial effect display pattern is displayed, the jackpot effect display ends.

As described above, generally, one round of the jackpot game, that is, the jackpot effect display is ended when the number of winnings reaches ten, so that the number of winnings at the time of displaying the “probability winning alert information” is displayed. The remaining display time of the jackpot effect display is predicted, and a partial effect display pattern having a display time corresponding to the remaining display time is selected as each partial effect display B, C, D.
Various selection methods can be used as a method of selecting partial effect display patterns as the partial effect displays B, C, and D corresponding to the remaining display time. For example, when the priority order for shortening the display time is set (for example, D → C → B), and it is determined that the time until the end of the display of the effect of one round is short, the priority order is high. The partial effect display (for example, D) may be switched to a pattern having a short display time.

In addition, as in the present embodiment, the process of which is shown in FIG. 3, the game is interrupted when the number of winnings reaches 10 during the jackpot display or when 30 seconds have elapsed since the start of the jackpot display. However, it is preferable to set the display times of the partial effect display patterns of the partial effect displays B to D so that the possibility of being interrupted is small.
Further, when the partial effect displays B to D are displayed, if the number of winnings is not ten and 30 seconds have not elapsed since the start of the jackpot effect display, for example, the partial effect display D is displayed. The partial effect display pattern D (3) may be repeatedly displayed until any condition is satisfied, and the jackpot effect display may be terminated when any condition is satisfied.

  If the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment is used, in this way, the jackpot effect display is such that the character N moves back and forth on the first floor and reaches below the ladder H1 (the partial effect display A) → Display of “notification information” → Character N climbs up ladder H1 and reaches the second floor (partial effect display B) → Reciprocates on the second floor to reach under ladder H2 (partial effect display C) → The display of “probability change notification information” is performed without dividing the continuous moving image in the display mode of climbing up the ladder H2 and reaching the rooftop (the partial effect display D).

In addition, at the end of the display of the partial effect display A, “probability promotion display information” displayed on the display device 120 based on the establishment of a predetermined game event (the number of winning prizes in the big winning opening 140 becomes 5 or more). Since it is displayed, it is difficult for the player who is viewing the effect display of the jackpot game to feel uncomfortable.
Further, when the jackpot effect display is set to end when the number of winnings reaches 10, the winning ball is displayed during the time during which the partial effect display A is displayed (including when it is repeatedly displayed). If a large number of occurrences occur, the time (remaining display time) until the jackpot effect display is ended after switching to the display of “probability change notification information” is shortened. According to the gaming machine of the present embodiment, in this case, the display mode until the jackpot effect display ends is determined based on the time until the effect display ends (remaining display time) (partial effect display). A partial effect display pattern having a predetermined display time is selected from B, C, and D). Thereby, the possibility that a continuous moving image ends unnaturally at the end of the jackpot effect display is reduced.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.
In the present embodiment, the partial effect display A to be displayed first is the partial effect display A among the jackpot effect displays composed of the four partial effect displays (A, B, C, D) described in the first embodiment. A case where the display pattern A (2) is used will be described.
In FIG. 14, the flowchart figure which shows each step of the process which displays the "probability change notification information" which the display control part 20 performs is shown. FIG. 15 is a timing chart showing the timing at which “probability change notification information” is displayed in the middle of the effect display during the jackpot game.

  As shown in FIG. 14, first, the display control unit 20 displays the partial effect display pattern A (2) of the partial effect display A on the display device 120 in step S10a. As described above, the time required to display the partial effect display pattern A (2) once is ta2 (seconds). Then, the display control unit 20 proceeds to the process of step S12a.

  In step S12a, it is determined whether or not the display of the partial effect display pattern A (2) is finished. If display of partial production | presentation display pattern A (2) is complete | finished (Yes of step S12a), the display control part 20 will progress to the process of step S20. On the other hand, if the display of the partial effect display pattern A (2) is not finished (No in step S12a), the display control unit 20 returns to the process in step S10. The processing after step S20 of the present embodiment shown in FIG. 14 is the same as the processing after step S14 of the first embodiment shown in FIG.

  In this way, in the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 15, the number of winnings is 5 or more each time the display of the partial effect display pattern A (2) during the big hit effect display is completed on the display device 120. It is determined whether or not. When it is determined that the number is five or more, “probability change notification information” is displayed. In the case shown in FIG. 15, when the display of the partial effect display pattern A (2) is finished four times, it is determined that the number of winnings is five or more, and the “probability change notification information” is displayed. Yes.

  If the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment is used, the average time from when the number of winnings reaches five until the “probable change notification information” is displayed can be shortened. Information "can be displayed. Further, since it is possible to quickly determine that the number of winning prizes has become five, the number of winning prizes becomes ten during the jackpot effect display, and it is possible to prevent the jackpot effect display from being terminated midway. Furthermore, since it is not necessary to store the partial effect display pattern A (1) having a long display time, the memory capacity required to store the display information can be reduced.

In this embodiment, every time display of the partial effect display pattern A (2) is finished, it is determined whether or not a predetermined game event has been established in step S20 (also see FIG. 14). Until the display of the partial effect display pattern A (2) after the start of the effect display is completed for the set number of times, it is not determined whether or not a predetermined game event has been established, and then the partial effect display pattern A (2 It may be determined whether or not a predetermined game event has been established each time the display of) is completed. For example, it is not necessary to determine whether or not a predetermined game event has been established for the first three times. At this time, if it is determined whether or not a predetermined game event has been established based on whether or not five game balls have been won in the big winning opening 140 after the jackpot game is started, the partial effect display pattern A (2 ) Is displayed three times (= display time ta1 (seconds) × 3 of partial effect display pattern A (2) × 3) until five game balls are won at the big winning opening 140 after the big hit game is started. It is set to a time slightly shorter (predetermined time) than this time.
According to this, since the possibility that the display control unit 20 repeats the determination of whether or not a predetermined game event has been unnecessarily repeated is reduced, the processing time of the control program of the display control unit 20 can be shortened.

(Third embodiment)
Next, a third embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.
In the first embodiment, when “probability change notification information” is displayed, all partial effect display patterns of partial effect display (partial effect display B, C, D) to be displayed are determined. In the embodiment, every time the partial effect display B, the partial effect display C, or the partial effect display D is displayed, the partial effect display to be displayed next is displayed according to the time until the jackpot effect display ends (remaining display time). A case will be described in which a partial effect display pattern having an appropriate display time is selected from the partial effect display patterns.
In FIG. 16, the flowchart figure which shows each step of the process which displays the partial effect display which comprises the jackpot effect display after displaying the "probability change notification information" which the display control part 20 displays is shown. FIG. 17 is a timing chart showing a display mode of the jackpot effect display after the “probability change notification information” is displayed.

As shown in FIG. 16, the display control unit 20 displays “probability change notification information” in the same manner as in the first embodiment in step S22. The processing before step S22 is the same as that of the first embodiment shown in FIG.
In the present embodiment, the jackpot effect display is such that one round ends when the number of winning items in the grand prize item 140 reaches 10, and 1 to 5 while displaying the partial effect display A, It is standard that there are 6 to 7 winning balls when displaying the partial effect display B, 8 when displaying the partial effect display C, and 9 to 10 winning balls when displaying the partial effect display D. The partial effect display patterns B, C, and D are selected based on the above.

In the process of step S40, the display control unit 20 displays corresponding to the current winning number (corresponding to the remaining display time) from the partial effect display patterns B (1) and B (2) of the partial effect display B. A partial effect display pattern having time is selected. If the number of winning is less than 6, the partial effect display pattern B (1) is selected. If the number of winning is 6 or more, the partial effect display pattern B (2) is selected. Then, the process proceeds to step S42.
In step S42, the partial effect display pattern B (1) or the partial effect display pattern B (2) selected in step S40 is displayed on the display device 120. Then, the display control unit 20 proceeds to the process of step S44.
In step S44, the display control unit 20 determines whether or not the display of the partial effect display B is finished. If not completed (No in step S44), the display control unit 20 returns to the process in step S42. If completed (Yes in step S44), the process proceeds to step S46.

Then, in the process of step S46, the display control unit 20 corresponds to the current winning number from the partial effect display patterns C (1) and C (2) of the partial effect display C (corresponding to the remaining display time). ) Select a partial effect display pattern having a display time. If the number of wins is less than 8, the partial effect display pattern C (1) is selected. If the number of wins is 8 or more, the partial effect display pattern C (2) is selected. Then, the process proceeds to step S48.
In step S48, the partial effect display pattern C (1) or the partial effect display pattern C (2) selected in step S46 is displayed on the display device 120. Then, the display control unit 20 proceeds to the process of step S50.
In step S50, the display control unit 20 determines whether or not the display of the partial effect display C has been completed. If not completed (No in step S50), the display control unit 20 returns to the process in step S48. If completed (Yes in step S50), the process proceeds to step S52.

Then, in the process of step S52, the display control unit 20 corresponds to the current winning number from the partial effect display patterns D (1) and D (2) of the partial effect display D (corresponding to the remaining display time). ) Select a partial effect display pattern having a display time. If the winning number is less than 9, the partial effect display pattern D (1) is selected. If the winning number is 9 or more, the partial effect display pattern D (2) is selected. Then, the process proceeds to step S54.
In step S54, the partial effect display pattern D (1) or the partial effect display pattern D (2) selected in step S52 is displayed on the display device 120. Then, the display control unit 20 proceeds to the process of step S56.
In step S56, the display control unit 20 determines whether or not the display of the partial effect display D has been completed. If not completed (No in step S56), the display control unit 20 returns to the process in step S54. If completed (Yes in step S56), the display control unit 20 returns.

  Thus, in the third embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17, the number of winnings is increased to 5 or more after displaying the partial effect display pattern A (1) during the big hit effect display on the display device 120 once. If it is, then “notification information per probability change” is displayed. Then, after displaying the partial effect display pattern A (1), the number of winnings is determined. If it is five, it is less than six, so the partial effect display B (1) is displayed next. Then, after displaying the partial effect display B (1), the number of winnings is determined and if it is still five (the number of winnings while the partial effect display B (1) is displayed is “0”. ) Since the number is less than 8, the next partial effect display C (1) is displayed. Then, after displaying the partial effect display C (1), the number of winnings is determined and if it is nine (the number of winnings during the display of the partial effect display C (1) was “4”). Since there are nine or more, next, the partial effect display D (2) is displayed.

  If the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment is used, after displaying “probable change notification information”, an appropriate portion from among the partial display constituting the jackpot effect display corresponding to the remaining display time of the jackpot effect display An effect display pattern is selected. In particular, in the present embodiment, after displaying “probability change notification information”, an appropriate display time is selected from the partial effect display patterns of each partial effect display based on the number of winnings when displaying each partial effect display. A partial effect display pattern having “” is selected. As a result, it is possible to accurately determine when the jackpot effect display ends (remaining display time), select a more appropriate partial effect display pattern, and prevent the jackpot effect display from ending in the middle. be able to.

The present invention is not limited to the configurations described in the first and second embodiments, and various changes, additions, and deletions are possible.
In the embodiment, the case where “predetermined display information” in the claims is “probability change notification information” has been described as an example, but which information is used as “predetermined display information” is described in the embodiment. It is not limited to.
In the embodiment, the case where it is determined that a predetermined game event has been established when the number of winnings reaches five has been described. However, the establishment of the predetermined game event is irrelevant to the display content of the jackpot effect display. Any event is acceptable.
Moreover, the partial effect display after the display of “probability change notification information” may be repeated by displaying one type of partial effect display. If this partial effect display is displayed using the partial effect display pattern information (for example, partial effect display pattern B (3)) of the pattern whose display time is shortened, the jackpot effect display is ended in the middle and continuously at the end. It is possible to further reduce the possibility that display of a moving image or the like is unnaturally divided.
In the embodiment, the “probability change notification information” is a still image in which “probability change!” Is displayed on the display unit as shown in FIG. 10, but may be displayed as a moving image.
In the embodiment, all the display patterns of the partial effect displays B, C, D after the display of “probability change notification information” are selected, but at least one partial effect display of the partial effect displays B, C, D is selected. The display time is variable, and it is only necessary to be able to change the display time until display of the jackpot effect display after the display of “probability change notification information”.
In the embodiment, the display pattern of the partial effects display B, C, D after the display of “probability change notification information” is selected based on the number of winnings when the “probability change notification information” is displayed. The time from the start to the end of the effect may be set in advance, and may be selected based on the time from the start of the jackpot effect display to the display time of “probable change per notification information”. In addition, the remaining display time after displaying the “probability change notification information” is the time calculated based on the number of winnings when the “probability change notification information” is displayed, or from the start to the end of the preset jackpot effect The shorter one of the times calculated based on the time may be selected.
In the embodiment, the “probability change notification information” is displayed between the partial effect display A and the partial effect display B. However, along with the start of the partial effect display B (along with the partial effect display B), Information "may be displayed. According to this, since the display information that matches the display of the start portion of the partial effect display B is displayed as the predetermined display information (for example, displayed in addition to the partial effect display B), suddenly the effect display The display is not switched from the display to the display of predetermined display information, and the uncomfortable feeling is reduced.

In the embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8 to 13, the jackpot effect display is performed so that the character N moves in the display screen. The display mode may not be easily predictable. For example, in the partial effect display displayed first, the door displayed on the display device 120 is opened, and in the partial effect display displayed later, the effect display is such that the room behind the door is displayed. May be.
According to this, "probability per notification information" is displayed between the partial effect display that is displayed first and the partial effect display that is displayed later, and the temporary effect display is interrupted, so that the game for the next effect display is interrupted. The interest of the person is increased.

  The “predetermined display information” may be configured to be displayed a plurality of times during the jackpot presentation display. For example, while the notification information (predetermined display information) is displayed three times during the jackpot effect display, the content that the player has a sense of expectation but of which the player cannot recognize the “probable hit” (gase Content) is displayed, and once, content that allows the player to recognize “probability change” is displayed (“probability change notification information” is displayed). In this case, it is more preferable that the content for recognizing the “probable hit” is displayed variably among the three times.

Moreover, in embodiment, when the partial effect display (partial effect display B, C, D) displayed later is displayed during 1 round of jackpot game, the remaining display time (St (seconds) of the jackpot effect display is displayed. ))), The upper limit number of game balls (10 pieces) to be won in the big winning opening 140 during one round, and the number of game balls won (n (pieces)) at that time, The case of calculating as follows from the average winning time (sa (second)) per game ball to the winning opening 140 has been described.
St (seconds) = number of remaining prizes [10 (pieces) -n (pieces)] × sa (seconds)
Other methods may be used for calculating the remaining display time (St (seconds)) of the jackpot effect display.
For example, an average winning time (referred to as sb (seconds)) to the large winning opening 140 of the upper limit number (10) of gaming balls to be won in the large winning opening 140 during one round is set. If so, it may be calculated as follows.
St (seconds) = [{10 (pieces) −n (pieces)} / 10 (pieces)] × sb (seconds)
The calculation method of the remaining display time (St (seconds)) of the jackpot effect display is not limited to the above calculation method.

The present invention can also be configured as follows.
