A process for determining whether or not to display that effect as a simple effect screen.

  Next, in step S34, a lottery effect process based on the lottery result determined in step S32 is performed. In the lottery effect process, the lottery result determined in step S32 and the lottery effect operation are performed using the images and effect bonuses displayed on the display unit.

  FIG. 6 shows a specific example of the process in step S34.

  First, in the process of step S32, when the lottery unit 72 determines the jackpot mode and the unreachable mode by lottery, in step S110, as shown in FIG. 4, the three symbols 200a, 200b, 200c are arranged in the order of 1-12. In addition, control is performed to change cyclically.

  In the three symbols 200a, 200b, and 200c that have started to fluctuate in this manner, the symbol on the left side is first determined and stopped first in step S112. At this time, the symbol on the right side and the symbol in the middle are still changing.

  Next, in step S114, the changing right symbol is fixed and stopped. In this state, the symbols on the left side and the right side are confirmed and stopped, but the middle symbol is still changing.

  At this time, whether or not reach is established is determined in step S116.

  If the right and left determined symbols 200a and 200c are not the same (not aligned), reach is not established, and the off action process of step S120 is performed. In this disengagement action process S120, a game effect image representing the disappointment of the player who has not reached reach is generated and displayed, and thereafter, the middle symbol 200b that is changing is fixed and stopped.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 4, when the left and right determined symbols 200a and 200c are in a hittable state where the same symbols are aligned, that is, when reach is established, the process of step S118 is performed.

  In this step S118, a reach action process is performed to produce this reach state more effectively, and then the middle symbol 200b that is changing is determined and stopped.

  Furthermore, in this reach action process, a display object switching process using an entity as described in FIGS. 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 14 may be performed according to the lottery result. .

  This reach action process is performed when the jackpot mode is determined by the lottery process in step S32 and when the reach out mode is determined even when the out mode is entered. When the big hit mode is determined, the big hit process in step S38, which will be described later, is finally performed, and when the reach out mode is determined, finally, the off process in step S40, which will be described later, is performed. Will be done.

  When such a series of processes shown in FIG. 6 is completed, a step-by-case process is performed in step S36 of FIG. As described above, since the winning / winning has already been determined in the lottery process in step S32, the process of dividing the case is performed according to this determination. In connection with the game effect process in step S34, a case-winning case separation process is performed as follows. That is, the middle symbol 200b that has been confirmed and stopped in the above-described reach action processing S118 and action processing S120 is classified according to whether or not it is the same symbol as the left and right symbols 200a and 200c that have already been confirmed and stopped. .

  It should be noted that display object switching processing using an entity as described in FIGS. 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 14 may be performed in the reach action process or the unreach action process.

  If the middle symbol 200b that has been confirmed and stopped is the same symbol as the left and right symbols 200a and 200c that have already been confirmed and stopped, it is divided into a big hit (special gaming state is established) and a big hit in step S38. However, if they are not the same, it is classified as “disconnected” (the special gaming state is not established), and the disengagement processing of step S40 is executed.

  As the big hit processing in step S38, the big win winning opening 18 shown in FIG. 1 is controlled to open repeatedly for a predetermined time. Such control is executed by performing control for opening the big hit winning opening 18 according to a predetermined rule by the arithmetic processing unit 74 shown in FIG.

  It should be noted that a display object switching process using an entity as described in FIG. 7, FIG. 9, FIG. 10, FIG. 11, FIG.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining an example of a specific configuration of the gaming machine for realizing the lottery effects of FIGS. 7A and 7B.

  This figure is a side view of the vicinity of the display unit 12 on the board 10 of the game apparatus of FIG. As shown in the drawing, a fragment object pulverization effect space 360 is provided behind a transparent plate 370 that covers the board portion of the display unit 12, and an LCD 350 covered with a transparent plate 352 for LCD protection is disposed behind the transparent object 370.

  A launching device 322 is provided in a lower portion 362 (a portion behind the board surface and invisible to the player) of the fragment object grinding effect space 360. The launching device 322 has a striking piston 324 as a striking member and a solenoid 326 that drives the striking piston 324 so as to push it upward.

  A debris object (second display object) 320 is loaded on the striking piston 324 of the launching device 322. When the solenoid of the launching device 324 is turned ON, the debris object (second display object) 320 is launched into the pulverization effect space 360 by the striking piston 324, and the scattered debris object 320 falls downward and again onto the striking piston 324. Loaded.

  In the first state, the fragment object group 320 is placed in a portion that cannot be seen by the player behind the board, so that the player can see the image displayed on the LCD 350.

  In the second state, the fragment object group 320 is launched into the fragment object crushing effect space 360 by the fragment launcher 322 such as a solenoid. At this time, the back LCD 350 is darkened, so that the debris object group 320 launched into the debris object pulverization effect space 360 visible to the player can be seen.

  By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to switch between the image displayed on the display unit and the pulverization of the substance on the display unit 12 on the board surface.

  In addition, the lottery effect section according to the present embodiment performs a process of shaking an entity constituting the effect object, a process of moving the entity, a process of rotating the entity, a process of vibrating the entity, or the entity. You may make it perform the process to light up.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining an example of the lottery effect performed by the lottery effect unit according to the present embodiment.

  Reference numeral 410-1 denotes an entity object provided as an effect accessory in the present embodiment. In FIGS. 2A and 2B, an example of the effect in which the pre-grinding object, which is an entity, is switched to the fragment object group at the time of grinding has been described, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

  For example, as shown by reference numeral 450 in FIG. 9, the object 410-1 which is an entity placed in a stationary state is vibrated (see 410-2) and then controlled to be switched to the fragment object group 420 at the time of crushing. May be.

  Further, for example, as shown by reference numeral 460 in FIG. 9, after the object 410-1 that is a stationary entity is vibrated (see 410-2), it is not switched to the fragment object group 420 at the time of crushing. It may be controlled to return to the stationary state again.

  For example, when the lottery result is a win, a lottery effect as shown at 450 may be performed, and when the lottery result is a loss, a lottery effect as shown at 460 may be performed, or vice versa.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining another example of the lottery effect performed by the lottery effect unit according to the present embodiment.

  Reference numeral 412-1 denotes an entity object provided as an effect accessory in the present embodiment.

  FIG. 11C is a diagram showing a state in which an entity object whose ground color is white is lit up with a blue light 530. As a result, the player can see the blue object 532.

  Thus, the color of the appearing object may be switched by performing the process of switching the color of the light for illuminating the entity object.

  The process of switching the light color may be performed by preparing a plurality of light sources of different colors and switching the light source itself used for lighting up, or preparing a white light source and a plurality of different color filters. In this case, the filter to be placed on the white light source may be switched.

  Also, control may be performed to switch the color at the time of appearance of the entity object, or the color of the entity object that has once appeared may be switched halfway.

  By setting the color of the object at the time of appearance or the change in the color of the appearing object to have a predetermined relationship with the winning of the lottery result, the player can change the color of the object or change the color. It is possible to produce an effect that raises the degree of expectation.

  Further, as the lottery effect of the present embodiment, for example, as described with reference to FIG. 4, a lottery display effect in which a plurality of combination symbols fluctuate based on a given rule according to the result of the lottery process and is stopped is determined. In such a case, at least one part of at least one variation effect of the combination symbol may be performed using the entity.

  FIGS. 12A and 12B are diagrams showing an example in which a part of a combined symbol variation effect is performed using an entity in a lottery effect. FIG. 12A shows a state in which a lottery effect image in which the combination symbols 550, 552, and 554 fluctuate are displayed on the display unit (first state), and FIG. 12B shows FIG. 12A. The state 560, 562, 564 (2nd state) which is performing the grinding | pulverization effect using the fragment object of an entity about each of these three combination symbols 550, 552, 554 is shown.

  For example, in a pachinko machine, a reach notice may be made after a lottery. As a part of the effect of the reach notice, a pulverization effect using an entity may be performed, or a pulverization effect using an entity may be performed in a probability change notice or the like.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where the fragment object is actually scattered at the time of the pulverization effect has been described as an example. For example, a pulverization indicator for displaying a state at the time of pulverization in which a set of a plurality of fragments is arranged in a state at the time of scattering is used. You may make it perform a grinding | pulverization effect by switching.

  Moreover, although the said embodiment demonstrated taking the case where the lottery effect which switches an object from the state before grinding | pulverization to the state after grinding | pulverization using an entity about at least one before and after grinding | pulverization, it is not restricted to this.

  For example, an entity may be used for at least one of before and after crushing to perform a lottery effect in which the object is switched from a state after crushing to a state before crushing. In this way, by expressing the appearance that the object once broken returns to its original state using the entity, it is possible to perform a magic-like effect realistically.

  For example, when a reach effect is performed as a lottery effect, if the result is a win, the object is switched from a state after pulverization to a state before pulverization (for example, a pulverization effect that switches a shard object that is an entity to an object before pulverization ) Or a lottery effect in which the object switches from the state after pulverization to the state before pulverization, or vice versa.

  Further, an effect may be made such that the object once crushed is restored again.

  Moreover, although the said embodiment demonstrated taking the case where a player was not involved in the production of the entity once determined by the system, it was not restricted to it. For example, there is provided trigger input means (button or the like) for receiving a trigger input for instructing the timing of change of the display object, and the timing of switching between the first display object and the second display object based on the trigger input, or the entity It is also possible to determine the timing of the effect of shaking the object, the effect of moving the entity, the effect of rotating the entity, the effect of vibrating the entity, or the effect of lighting up the entity.
