Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine, and in particular, as a video for directing based on the result of the jackpot lottery, when the winner is won by the jackpot lottery, a battle video in which the hero wins the enemy is displayed, and when the winner is lost by the jackpot lottery, the hero Is a video that displays a battle video that defeats an enemy.

  In the recent mainstream pachinko machines, when a game ball wins a start opening provided on a game board, a big hit lottery is performed and a special symbol is displayed on a symbol display so as to stop after symbol variation. The result of the jackpot lottery is displayed with the special symbol stop symbol, and if you win the jackpot lottery, the special symbol stops at the jackpot symbol and the big prize opening on the game board opens and closes over multiple rounds. A big hit game is generated. In parallel with the change in the special symbol, a relatively large image display provided on the game board displays a video for the performance based on the result of the big hit lottery, and the player mainly displays the video for the performance. You will enjoy watching the game.

  As the animation for the effect, a plurality of effect symbols are displayed so as to stop after the change of the symbol, and when the effect symbols are in a specific reach state, a battle video in which the main character battles the enemy (match) Those that display "movie" are widely used in practice. In this case, when the winner is won by the jackpot lottery, a battle video in which the main character wins the enemy is displayed. When the winner is lost in the jackpot lottery, a battle video in which the main character is defeated by the enemy is displayed. Here, the main character becomes a predetermined character (character), and the main character's opponent (enemy) is selected from a plurality of characters other than the main character, and the winner is selected in a big hit lottery by the selected opponent There are many things that change the expected degree of jackpot.

  For this reason, the storage unit (computer ROM) of the pachinko machine stores two types of battle videos, a battle video in which the hero character wins against each enemy character and a battle video in which the hero character is defeated. Movie data of twice as many types of battle movies is stored. A part of the two types (wins and losses) of the battle videos for each enemy character is a common video.

  By the way, in the gaming machine of Patent Document 1, the player can select a hero from a plurality (three types) of characters by operating a button, and a game effect corresponding to the selected hero is executed. In addition, in the gaming machine of Patent Document 2, super reach is executed from the break of the basic effect so that the game effect is completed within the determined symbol variation time by using the basic effect without breaking it. Interpolation effect is executed until this time. In this interpolation effect, an effect for a predetermined time is repeatedly executed.

  In conventional pachinko machines, the main character will be a predetermined character (fixed main character) and will be a big hit lottery when the main character displays a battle video in which the main character battles with the enemy as a specific video for the big hit lottery. In the case of winning the game, a battle video in which the fixed hero character wins is displayed. In the case of a loss in the big hit lottery, a battle video in which the fixed hero character is defeated is displayed. In other words, the battle video where the fixed hero character wins is used only when winning in the jackpot lottery, and the battle video where the fixed hero character is defeated is used only when lost in the jackpot lottery, so the main character's opponent wins a big hit. Even if the degree of expectation is changed, there is a problem that the production based on the big hit lottery tends to be monotonous.

  In the gaming machine of Patent Document 1, the player can select a hero from a plurality of characters by operating a button. Therefore, for each selected hero character, it is possible to select and display a battle video of a battle combination between the hero character and any of a plurality of other enemy characters. Easy. However, just because the number of fixed hero characters has increased, as in the previous issue, the battle video where the fixed hero character wins is used only when winning the jackpot lottery, and the battle video where the fixed hero character is defeated is lost by the jackpot lottery. If it is used only in such a case, the production based on the big hit lottery tends to be monotonous.

  Here, the number of opponents (enemies) that can be selected for each hero character, that is, the number of battle videos, in the main character can be selected from a plurality of characters as in the gaming machine of Patent Document 1. The problem that the effect based on the big hit lottery tends to be monotonous is improved as the number is increased. However, for each hero character, video data of two types of battle videos, that is, a battle video that wins each enemy character and a battle video that loses, is required. Even in the case of moving images, the total number of battle moving images increases and the amount of moving image data becomes very large. Therefore, the existing computer can not cope with it, and the cost of the pachinko gaming machine (computer) including the moving image data creation cost increases.

  In addition, in the model that displays the battle video where the main character battles the enemy, there is a battle video with a very low selection rate among multiple types of battle videos, that is, a battle video that the player can hardly see, there is a certain degree of production Some detailed players have a desire to watch these rare battle videos, but it is difficult to meet this demand. The rare battle video that the player can hardly see is, for example, a battle video in which the main character wins an enemy in a battle video with a very low expectation of jackpot.

  An object of the present invention is to select a hero from a plurality of characters that can be a hero or an enemy, and based on a big hit lottery without excessively increasing the number of battle videos (competition combinations), that is, the amount of video data. It is to provide a gaming machine that makes it possible to perform a wide variety of effects.

The invention of claim 1 is provided with production control means (27, 28) for displaying an animation for production on the display (16) based on a result of a predetermined lottery for determining the presence or absence of winning. 27, 28) is, as a particular performance for a moving image, to display the fighting video hero to win the enemy in the case of winning in the lottery, a competition video hero to defeat the enemy if it is defeated by the lottery In the gaming machine (1) to be displayed, the effect control means (27, 28) is such that one character wins for each of a plurality of battle combinations determined in advance by a plurality of characters that can be the main character or an enemy. A video data storage means for storing video data of a plurality of types of battle videos provided with two types of battle videos, a battle video to be defeated and a hero selection means capable of selecting a hero from the plurality of characters The production control Stage (27, 28), the display said any one of at least two of the competition video hero chosen hero selection means characters play against, selected on the basis of the results of the previous Ki抽 election is allowed, the main character selection hand stage of presentation control means (27, 28), the operation of the operably hero selection operation means (6) for the player the main character in the main character selectable period set in advance to select select hero based on the effect control hand stage (27, 28), when you select the hero the hero selecting means, match the pairing with any of the leading character and the other of the plurality of characters videos, select the effect random that associate the results of the lottery, said lottery winning expectation that elected by pairing a plurality of competition video is configured differently, any character is a hero Any other A competition video character to the leading character wins when the enemy, the same video and match videos the leading character is the enemy character win if the enemy character becomes the enemy becomes the hero characterized by being configured in.

The invention according to claim 2 is the invention according to claim 1 , wherein the production control means (27, 28) has a winning combination winning expectation when an arbitrary character is a hero and another arbitrary character is an enemy, It is configured to be different from the winning expectation of the battle combination when the main character is an enemy and the enemy character is the main character.

According to the present invention, a hero is selected from a plurality of characters that can be a hero or an enemy, and one of a plurality of characters other than the character selected as the hero among the plurality of characters is used as an enemy. the match video in which each character is to win even can also be utilized in the case of defeated when elected extracted election, also used when was also defeated in the case of winning in the extraction election the match video in which each character is to defeat be able to. In other words, without too large a data volume number, that video data of the competition video (a pairing) allows perform a wide variety of presentation based on the results of extraction election.

The computer of the lamp control board 29 receives the control information from the effect control board 27 and controls the frame lamp 35 and the panel lamp 36 mainly in synchronization with the control by the image control board 28.

  Now, in this pachinko gaming machine 1, the computer of the effect control board 27 and the image control board 28 corresponding to the effect control means is a big hit performed by the computer of the game control board 22 by winning a game ball at the start ports 10 and 11a. Based on the lottery, an effect video is displayed on the image display 16, and as the effect video, a plurality of effect symbols are displayed so as to be stopped after symbol variation, and the effect symbols are in a specific reach state. If the player wins in the jackpot lottery, the main video will display a battle video that wins the enemy, and if the player wins the jackpot lottery, the main character will display a battle video that defeats the enemy. .

  A computer ROM (corresponding to moving image data storage means) of the image control board 28 has one of each of a plurality of battle combinations predetermined by a plurality of characters (hereinafter referred to as characters) that can be a hero or an enemy. Video data of a plurality of types of battle videos in which two types of battle videos are provided, that is, a battle video in which a character wins and a battle video in which a character loses.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12, there are four characters (Character A to Character D) that can be heroes and enemies, and as shown in FIG. (Character A × Character B, Character A × Character C, Character A × Character D) is determined in advance. For example, “Character A × Character B” indicates a battle combination in which Character A and Character B battle each other.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 14, for each of these three battle combinations, video data of two types of battle videos, for example, a battle video where one character wins and a battle video where one character is defeated (for example, the battle combination is “Character A” In the case of “Character B”, 3 (streets) × 2 (kind) = 6 in the total of three battle combinations including video data (A × B → Awin) and video data (A × B → Bwin)) Video data of various types of battle videos (video data (A × B → Awin), video data (A × B → Bwin), video data (A × C → Awin), video data (A × C → Cwin), video data (A × D → Awin) and moving image data (A × D → Dwin)) are stored. For example, moving image data (A × B → Awin) indicates moving image data of a battle video in which character A and character B battle each other and character A wins.

  Here, for each of a plurality of battle combinations, the video data of the battle video in which one character wins and the video data of the battle video in which one character loses are partly composed of one character and the other character. It is common video data that displays the scene during the battle, and the video data of the battle video where one character wins displays the common video data and the victory scene of one character (defeat scene of the other character) The moving image data of the battle moving image in which one character is defeated includes the common moving image data and moving image data that displays the defeat scene of one character (the winning scene of the other character).

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 14, for example, in a battle video in which character A and character B battle each other, video data (A × B → Awin) is video data (A × B) + video data (Awin). The moving image data (A × B → Bwin) consists of moving image data (A × B) + moving image data (Bwin). Note that the video data (A × B) is the common video data that displays the scene during the battle between the character A and the character B, and the video data (Awin) is the victory scene of the character A (the defeat scene of the character B). The moving image data and moving image data (Bwin) indicate moving image data that displays the defeat scene of character A (the winning scene of character B), respectively.

  The computer of the production control board 27 is configured so that the main character can be selected alternatively from a plurality of characters (character A to character D) by a process corresponding to the main character selection means, and the selected character battles. One of at least two types (wins and losses) of the battle videos is selected based on the result of the big hit lottery, and the computer of the image control board 28 corresponds to the battle video selected by the computer of the effect control board 27 Display using moving image data.

  In this case, when the predetermined character (Character A) is selected as the main character, the computer of the production control board 27 plays the combination of the predetermined character and any of a plurality of other characters (Character B to Character D). Select a match video. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 15, one of the six types of video data of the battle video in which the character selected as the main character battles is selected based on the result of the big hit lottery, and the battle video is displayed. Will be displayed.

  In addition, when a character (character B, character C, or character D) other than the predetermined character (character A) is selected as the hero, the computer of the production control board 27 plays a battle combination of the character and the predetermined character. Select a video. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 15, when character B is selected as the main character, any one of the video data of two types (wins and losses) of battle videos in which character B and character A battle each other. If character C is selected as the main character, either one of the two types of video data of the battle video in which character C and character A battle each other, or character D is the main character. Is selected, based on the result of the jackpot lottery, one of the two types (wins and losses) of the video data that the character D and the character A battle against each other is selected. Will be displayed.

  When the computer of the production control board 27 selects a battle video of a battle combination between the character selected by the process corresponding to the main character selection means and any of the other characters, the computer selects the battle video. It is configured such that the expected degree of jackpot winning in the jackpot lottery is different for each battle combination of the battle video selected by the stage drawing lottery based on the result of the jackpot lottery.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 15, when character A is selected as the main character, moving image data (A × B → Awin), moving image data (A × C → Awin), moving image data (A × D → Awin) The selection rate of the video data (A × B → Bwin), the video data (A × C → Cwin), and the video data (A × D → Dwin) is 20%, 30%, 50 when winning the big hit lottery respectively. 0%, 0%, 0%, 0%, 0%, 0%, 0%, 0%, 60%, 30%, 10% when winning a lottery.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 16, when the battle video of “Character A × Character B” is selected using the selection rate, the big hit expectation is α × 20 / (20 + 60), and “Character A The expectation of jackpot when the battle video of “× Character C” is selected is α × 30 / (30 + 30), and the expectation of jackpot when the battle video of “Character A × Character D” is selected is α X50 / (50 + 10). In other words, the big hit expectation differs for each battle combination. Note that α is a jackpot expectation degree constant that takes into account the winning probability of the jackpot lottery, the probability of reaching a specific reach state, and the like.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 15, when character B, character C, and character D are selected as the main characters, video data (A × B → Bwin) with a selection rate of 100% in the big hit lottery respectively. , Moving image data (A × C → Cwin), moving image data (A × D → Dwin) are selected, and when winning a lottery, the moving image data (A × B → Awin) and moving image data (A × C) → Awin) and moving image data (A × D → Awin) are selected. 17, 18, and 19, using the selection rate, a battle video of “Character A × Character B”, “Character A × Character C”, and “Character A × Character D” is selected. In this case, the expected degree of jackpot is α × 100 / (100 + 100), respectively.

  Further, the computer of the production control board 27 has a big hit expectation degree of a battle combination when an arbitrary character is a hero and another arbitrary character is an enemy, and the hero character becomes an enemy and the enemy character becomes a hero. The battle combination in this case, that is, the jackpot expectation of the battle combination when the hero character and the enemy character are replaced is configured.

  Specifically, the big hit expectation of the battle combination of “Character A × Character B” when the main character is Character A (see FIG. 16) and the battle combination of “Character A × Character B” when the main character is Character B The jackpot expectation (see FIG. 17) is different. Also, the big hit expectation degree of the battle combination of “Character A × Character C” when the main character is Character A (see FIG. 16), and the big hit expectation of the battle combination of “Character A × Character C” when the main character is Character C. The degrees (see FIG. 18) are different. Also, the big hit expectation degree of the battle combination of “Character A × Character D” when the main character is Character A (see FIG. 16), and the big hit expectation of the battle combination of “Character A × Character D” when the main character is Character D. The degrees (see FIG. 19) are different.

  Here, the production button device 6 corresponds to a main character selection operation means operable by the player to select the main character, and the computer of the production control board 27 is set in advance by a process corresponding to the main character selection means. The main character is selected based on the operation on the production button device 6 during the main character selectable period. The main character selectable period is included in a period in which a plurality of performance symbols are in a specific reach state.

  Next, processing executed by the computer of the game control board 22 will be described based on a flowchart, and thereafter processing executed by the computer of the effect control board 27 to achieve the above function will be described based on the flowchart.

  First, as shown in FIG. 4, in the timer interrupt process for every minute time (4 ms) on the game control board 22, random number update process (S1), switch process (S2), symbol process (S3), electric accessory Processing (S4), prize ball processing (S5), and output processing (S6) are sequentially executed, and the process returns.

  As shown in FIG. 5, in the start port SW process of S2, the first hold port SW10a is on (S11; Yes), and when the first hold number U1 is less than 4 (S12; Yes), the first hold The number U1 is added to U1 + 1 (S13), the first random number (big hit random number, big hit symbol random number, etc.) is acquired and stored (S14), and the first pending number increase command is set (S15). After S11; No or S12; No or S15, the process proceeds to S16.

  Next, when the second start port SW11d is on (S16; Yes), when the second hold number U2 is less than 4 (S17; Yes), the second hold number U2 is added to U2 + 1 (S18). Two random numbers (big hit random number, big hit symbol random number, etc.) are acquired and stored (S19), and the second pending number increase command is set (S20). S16; No or S17; After No or S20, the process returns. Note that the commands set in S15 and S20 and the commands set in other steps are transmitted to the effect control board 27 by the output process of S6.

  As shown in FIG. 6, in the special symbol process of S3, when the winning game flag is not ON (that is, during big hit game or small hit game) (S31; No), both the first and second special symbols are changed. If not (S32; No), the process proceeds to S33. If S31; Yes, the process returns. If S32; Yes, the process proceeds to S42.

  Next, when the second hold number U2 is 1 or more (S33; Yes), the second hold number U2 is subtracted from U2-1 (S34), and when the second hold number U2 is 0 (S33; No), When the first hold number U1 is 1 or more (S35; Yes), the first hold number U1 is subtracted from U1-1 (S36). After S34 or S36, the customer waiting flag is turned off (S37), the special symbol determination process (S38) is executed, and then the variation pattern selection process (S39) is executed. S35: If No, the customer waiting setting process (S46) is executed and the process returns.

  In the special symbol determination process of S38, first, a big hit random number determination process is executed. Here, it is determined whether or not it is a big hit based on the big hit random number of the first or second reserved random number. It is determined whether or not. The big hit random number is a random value extracted from 0 to N (for example, N = 65535), and the random number is set at a predetermined ratio (for example, about 1/300) with respect to the number of all random numbers. If it is a large number of jackpot random numbers, it is determined that the jackpot.

  In the case of a big hit, a big hit symbol random number determination process is executed, and any one of a plurality of types of big hit symbols is selected and set as a special symbol based on the big hit symbol random number of the first or second reserved random number. In the case of a small hit, a small hit symbol is set, and in the case of a loss, a lost symbol is set. In the variation pattern selection process in S39, a variation pattern (variation time) is selected and set for the game effect from the special symbol type set in S38.

  Thereafter, the first or second special symbol is started to vary (S40), and a variation start command including information on the type of the special symbol set in S38 and the variation pattern (variation time) set in S39 is set ( S41). Next, it is determined whether or not the variation time set in S39 has passed (S42). If S42;

  On the other hand, if S42: Yes, the first or second special symbol is suspended (S43), and the special symbol set in S38 is displayed on the first or second special symbol display 19a or 19b. . Subsequently, a change stop command is set (S44), a stop process (S45) is executed, and the process returns. In the in-stop process, a process for shifting the game state is executed.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 7, in the timer interrupt process for every minute time (4 ms) on the effect control board 27, command reception process (S61), effect button process (S62), and command transmission process (S63) are performed. Sequentially executed and returns.

  As shown in FIG. 8, in the command reception process of S51, when a pending number increase command is received (S61; Yes), a pending number addition process (S62) is executed and a pending number command is set (S63). Next, when the change start command is received (S64; Yes), the effect selection process (S65) is executed, when the change start command is not received (S64; No), or when the specific effect flag is ON (S66). ; Yes), that is, when a specific effect moving image is displayed in the specific reach state, a battle moving image selection process (S67) is executed.

  Next, when a variation stop command is received (S68; Yes), a variation effect end process (S69) is executed, and when an opening command is received (S70; Yes), a hit effect selection process (S71) is executed. When the ending command is received (S72; Yes), the ending effect selection process (S73) is executed, and the customer waiting process (S74) is executed. The command set in S63 and the command set in another step are transmitted to the image control board 28 and the lamp control board 29 by the command transmission process in S63.

  As shown in FIG. 9, in the effect selection process of S65, first, the received variation start command (stop special symbol and variation pattern (variation time)) is analyzed (S81), and then the mode flag is referenced ( S82), the hold number subtraction process (S83) is executed. As the mode flag of S82, any one of a plurality of types of mode flags is alternatively set, and each of the plurality of types of mode flags is a flag substantially corresponding to a plurality of types of gaming states.

  The plurality of types of gaming states include a normal gaming state, a short-time gaming state, a probability variation gaming state, and the like, and are alternatively set according to the type of jackpot symbol. The normal gaming state is a state in which the big hit probability is low (for example, about 1/300) and the game ball is difficult to win the second starting port 11a, and the short-time gaming state is the second in which the big hit probability is low. The game ball is likely to win the start opening 11a, and the probability variation game state is a state where the game hit ball is easy to win the second start opening 11a with a high probability (for example, about 1/30). . Then, in order to be able to execute a game effect according to the set game state, a mode flag substantially corresponding to the game state is set.

  Next, after the pending number subtraction process of S83, based on the stop special symbol and the fluctuation time of the fluctuation start command analyzed in S81 (and based on the mode flag referenced in S82), the fluctuation effect pattern selection process (S84) is executed, and any one of a plurality of types of variation effect patterns shown in FIG. 10 is selected. Here, the loss variation production pattern is a pattern in which a plurality of production symbols are not established in the reach state, and the special symbol is stopped at the loss symbol. The reach loss variation production pattern and the reach loss specific variation production pattern are in a state in which the plurality of production symbols are in the reach state. This is a pattern in which the special symbol stops at the lost symbol after being established.

  The small hit variation effect pattern and the small hit specific variation effect pattern are patterns in which a special symbol stops at the small hit symbol after a plurality of effect symbols are established, and thereafter, a small hit game is generated. In addition, the big hit variation effect pattern and the big hit specific variation effect pattern are patterns in which a special symbol stops at the big hit symbol after a plurality of effect symbols are established, and then a big hit game is generated. The reach lose specific variation effect pattern, the small hit specific variation effect pattern, and the big hit specific variation effect pattern are patterns for displaying a battle video in which the main character battles the enemy.

  As shown in FIG. 9, after the variation effect pattern selection process in S84, a variation effect start command including information on the selected variation effect pattern is set (S85). It is transmitted to the control board 29. Next, it is determined whether or not the selected variation effect pattern is a specific variation effect pattern (for example, reach lose specific variation pattern S1) (S86). If S86; No, the process returns, but if S86; The flag is turned on (S87), and the process returns. The specific effect flag is initially set to OFF when the power is turned on.

  As shown in FIG. 11, in the battle moving image selection process in S67, it is first determined whether or not it is a hero selectable period (S91). In the present embodiment, when a specific variation effect pattern is selected and a plurality of effect symbols are in a specific reach state, it is S91; Yes, and the main character selection operation is the initial period of the reach state. An acceptance process (S92) is executed. In this main character selection operation acceptance process, the selection operation on the effect button device 6 is valid, and the four characters A to D shown in FIG. 12 are displayed on the image display 16, and any one of the characters is displayed. Displayed in a state specified to be switchable.

  After S91; No or S92, it is determined whether or not the main character selectable period is over (S93). If S93; No, the process returns. When the hero selectable period ends (S93; Yes), the hero is selected so that the finally designated character becomes the hero (S94), and then the change start command analysis information is read (S95). .

  Next, based on the main character selected in S94 and the jackpot / losing information obtained from S95, as described above (see FIG. 14, FIG. 15, etc.), any one of the six types of moving images of the moving image data is stored. Selected. Next, a battle video command including information on the selected battle video is set (S97), and this variation effect start command is transmitted to the image control board 28 and the lamp control board 29. Thereafter, the specific effect flag is turned off (S98), and the process returns.

  By the way, when the computer of the image control board 28 receives the change effect start command from the effect control board 27, it analyzes the change effect start command, and displays a plurality of effect symbols as effect videos on the symbol display 16. Is displayed in such a way that it is stopped after the change of the symbols, and if the battle video is not displayed there, any moving image or still image other than the plurality of effect symbols is displayed as the back screen of the plurality of effect symbols.

  Here, with respect to a plurality of effect symbols, in the case of a loss variation effect pattern, the effect is finally lost without reaching a reach state (for example, two effect symbols out of three effect symbols are stopped at the same symbol). In the case of the reach loss variation production pattern and the reach loss specific variation production pattern, in the case of the small hit variation production pattern and the small hit specific variation production pattern The reach state is finally stopped at the small hit effect design, and in the case of the big hit variation effect pattern and the big hit specific variation effect pattern, the reach state is finally stopped at the big hit effect design.

  That is, in the case of reach loss variation production pattern, reach lose specific variation production pattern, small hit variation production pattern, small hit specific variation production pattern, big hit variation production pattern, big hit variation production pattern, after the start of variation of multiple production symbols, As shown in FIG. 20A, two sets of effect symbols are displayed so as to stop at the same symbol and reach a reach state.

  In the case of the reach loss specific variation effect pattern, the small hit specific variation effect pattern, and the big hit specific variation effect pattern, the reach state becomes a specific reach state, and after the display of FIG. 20 (a), first, FIG. 20 (b). As shown in FIG. 5, a message indicating that a match is reached (for example, “match reach”) is displayed. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 20C, the main character selection screen is displayed for a certain period of time, and the period during which the main character selection screen is displayed is the main character selectable period.

  In the main character selection screen of FIG. 20 (c), four characters A to D are displayed, and one designated character can be distinguished from other characters (for example, a frame or the like where the designated character can be understood). Is displayed. Here, the player can change the character to be designated by operating the effect button device 6. Then, the character designated at the end of the hero selectable period is selected as the hero. When the player does not operate the effect button device 6, a character (for example, character A) set in advance is automatically selected as the main character.

  In the computer of the production control board 27, the battle video is selected after the main character selection process, and the battle video command including the information is transmitted to the image control board 28. The computer of the image control board 20 After receiving the command (after the main character can be selected), the battle video indicated by the battle video command is displayed. Here, when character A is the main character and character B is selected as the enemy character, the subsequent battle video is displayed as follows, for example.

  After the hero selection screen of FIG. 20 (c) is erased, as shown in FIG. 21 (d), character A (hero) and character B (enemy) are mixed together, and then, as shown in FIG. 21 (e), first, Character A attacks character B, and then, as shown in FIG. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 22 (g), character B attacks character A next time, and then, as shown in FIG. 22 (h), character A and character B meet again.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 22 (i), both character A and character B attack each other, and then, as shown in FIG. 23 (j), the standing positions of character A and character B are interchanged, and after a while. Therefore, in the case of big hit, as shown in FIG. 23 (k), the enemy character B falls down and the hero character A wins, and in the case of loss, as shown in FIG. 23 (l). The character A who is the main character falls and the character B who is the enemy wins.

  FIGS. 21 (d) to 23 (j) are battle scenes, which are displayed as common video data, and FIG. 23 (k) is the victory scene of character A, which is displayed as dedicated (non-common) video data. FIG. 23 (l) shows the victory scene of character B, which is displayed as dedicated (non-common) moving image data.

  When character B is the main character and character A is selected as the enemy, FIG. 20 (a) to FIG. 23 (j) are the same as described above, but after FIG. As shown in FIG. 23 (l), the character A as the enemy falls and the character B as the hero wins, and in the case of losing, the character B as the hero falls down as shown in FIG. 23 (k). The enemy character A wins.

  According to the pachinko gaming machine 1 described above (the production control board 27, which is the production control means, and the image control board 28), the following operations and effects are achieved.

  For each of a plurality of battle combinations determined in advance by a plurality of characters that can be a hero or an enemy in the computer ROM of the image control board 28, two types of battle videos of one character winning and a battle video defeating Movie data of a plurality of types of battle videos provided with a battle video is stored, and a hero is selected from a plurality of characters that can be a hero or an enemy by the computer of the production control board 27 and the image control board 28, Any one of at least two types (wins and losses) of battle videos in which the character selected as the main character battles is selected based on the result of the big hit lottery and displayed on the image display 16.

In other words, if there is only one battle combination (the enemy character is the only one) that the selected hero character battles, a battle video in which the hero character wins against the only enemy character when winning in the big hit lottery Is selected and displayed, and a battle video in which the main character is defeated by defeating the only enemy character is selected and displayed. In addition, the pairing there is more than one street (the enemy character is s) field if the hero character that has been selected to play against, if you win in the big hit lottery, hero character to win in competition with any of the plurality of enemy characters When a battle video is selected and displayed, and a lottery is won by lottery, a battle video in which the main character battles with any of the enemy characters and loses is selected and displayed.

  In this way, a hero is selected from a plurality of characters that can be a hero and an enemy, and each of the characters is selected as one of a plurality of characters other than the character selected by the hero. Can be used both when winning the winning video in the jackpot lottery and when it is lost, and when the winning video is defeated in the jackpot lottery it can.

  In other words, without increasing the number of battle videos (competition combinations), that is, the amount of video data, the production based on the big hit lottery is suppressed from being monotonous, and a variety of productions based on the big hit lottery can be executed. . In Example 1, there are 3 types of battle videos (combination of battles) (see FIG. 13) and 6 types of video data (see FIG. 14), but 12 types of effects (see FIG. 15) are possible as a whole. . Moreover, since the player can freely select the main character by operating the effect button device 6, it is possible to enhance the effect participation effect by the player and improve the effect.

  Also, there is usually a battle video with a very low selection rate, that is, a battle video that the player can hardly see (for example, a battle video in which the main character wins the enemy in a battle video with very low expectation of jackpot) However, depending on the player who is familiar with the production to some extent, there is a request to watch such rare battle videos, but by selecting the main character, it is relatively easy to display rare battle videos that are usually difficult for the player to see It is also possible to see it.

  In addition, when the computer of the production control board 27 selects a battle video of a battle combination of the character selected as the main character and any of the other characters, the battle video is selected based on the result of the big hit lottery. It is executed by lottery, and in this case, it is configured so that the expected degree of jackpot winning in the jackpot lottery differs depending on the battle combination of the battle video selected by the production lottery, and further, an arbitrary character becomes the main character and other arbitrary arbitrary The big hit expectation degree of the battle combination when the character is an enemy is configured to be different from the big hit expectation degree of the battle combination when the main character is the enemy and the enemy character is the main character.

  In other words, if the player knows to some extent the expectation of jackpot about the battle combination between the main character and each enemy character, he decides the main character himself and then decides the enemy who will fight the main character. At the stage where the battle video is displayed, you can enjoy watching and seeing if the hero wins (that is, a big hit) or the hero loses (that is, loses) in the battle combination. That is, this pachinko gaming machine 1 greatly enhances the performance participation function by the player and greatly improves the performance effect.

  The pachinko gaming machine according to the second embodiment is obtained by partially changing the pachinko gaming machine according to the first embodiment (configuration (processing) relating to the production control). The description of the operation and effect similar to those of the first embodiment is also omitted.

As shown in FIG. 24, 6 (= ₄ C ₂ ) brute force combinations (character A × character B, character A × character C,. × Character D) is predetermined.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 25, for each of the six battle combinations, six battle combinations including video data of two battle videos of a battle video in which one character wins and a battle video in which one character is defeated are included. In total, 6 (streets) × 2 (types) = 12 types of video data of battle videos (video data (A × B → Awin), video data (A × B → Bwin)..., Video data (C × D → Dwin)) is stored.

  The computer of the production control board 27 is configured to be able to select a hero from a plurality of characters (character A to character D) by a process corresponding to the hero selection means, and to each selected character. On the other hand, a battle animation of a battle combination between the character and any of the other characters is selected. That is, as shown in FIG. 26, any one of 12 types of video data of the battle video in which the character selected as the main character battles is selected based on the result of the big hit lottery, and the battle video is displayed. Become.

  When the computer of the production control board 27 selects a battle video of a battle combination between the character selected by the process corresponding to the main character selection means and any of the other characters, the computer selects the battle video. It is configured such that the expected degree of jackpot winning in the jackpot lottery is different for each battle combination of the battle video selected by the stage drawing lottery based on the result of the jackpot lottery.

  As shown in FIG. 26, as in the first embodiment, when character A is selected as the main character, moving image data (A × B → Awin), moving image data (A × C → Awin), moving image data (A × D → Awin) ), Video data (A × B → Bwin), video data (A × C → Cwin), and video data (A × D → Dwin) have a selection rate of 20%, 30%, respectively, It becomes 50%, 0%, 0%, 0%, and it becomes 0%, 0%, 0%, 60%, 30%, 10% at the time of loss by big hit lottery.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 27, as in the first embodiment, using the selection rate, the big hit expectation degree when the battle video of “Character A × Character B” is selected is α × 20 / (20 + 60). Therefore, the big hit expectation degree when the battle video of “Character A × Character C” is selected is α × 30 / (30 + 30), and the big hit when the battle video of “Character A × Character D” is selected The degree of expectation is α × 50 / (50 + 10). In other words, the big hit expectation differs for each battle combination.

  As shown in FIG. 26, when character B is selected as the main character, video data (A × B → Bwin), video data (B × C → Bwin), video data (B × D → Bwin), video data ( A × B → Awin), video data (B × C → Cwin), and video data (B × D → Dwin) are 10%, 20%, 70%, and 0%, respectively, in the big win lottery. 0%, 0%, 0%, and 0%, 0%, 0%, 55%, 25%, 20% at the time of loss in the big hit lottery.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 28, when the battle video of “Character A × Character B” is selected using the selection rate, the big hit expectation is α × 10 / (10 + 55). The expectation of jackpot when the battle video of “× Character C” is selected is α × 20 / (20 + 25), and the expectation of jackpot when the battle video of “Character B × Character D” is selected is α X70 / (70 + 20). In other words, the big hit expectation differs for each battle combination.

  As shown in FIG. 26, when character C is selected as the main character, moving image data (A × C → Cwin), moving image data (B × C → Cwin), moving image data (C × D → Cwin), moving image data ( A × C → Awin), video data (B × C → Bwin), and video data (C × D → Dwin) are 25%, 35%, 40%, and 0%, respectively. 0%, 0%, 0%, and 0%, 0%, 0%, 65%, 25%, 10% when winning a lottery.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 29, when the battle video of “Character A × Character C” is selected using the selection rate, the big hit expectation is α × 25 / (25 + 65), and “Character B The expectation level for jackpot when the battle video for “Character C” is selected is α × 35 / (35 + 25), and the expectation level for jackpot when the battle video for “Character C × Character D” is selected is α X40 / (40 + 10). In other words, the big hit expectation differs for each battle combination.

  As shown in FIG. 26, when character D is selected as the main character, video data (A × D → Dwin), video data (B × D → Dwin), video data (C × D → Dwin), video data ( A × D → Awin), video data (B × D → Bwin), and video data (C × D → Cwin) are selected at 5%, 15%, 80%, and 0%, respectively. 0%, 0%, 0%, and 0%, 0%, 0%, 70%, 20%, 10% when winning a lottery.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 30, when the battle video of “Character A × Character D” is selected using the selection rate, the big hit expectation is α × 5 / (5 + 70), and “Character B The expectation of jackpot when the battle video of “× Character D” is selected is α × 15 / (15 + 20), and the expectation of jackpot when the battle video of “Character C × Character D” is selected is α X80 / (80 + 10). In other words, the big hit expectation differs for each battle combination.

  In addition, the big hit expectation degree of the battle combination of “Character A × Character B” when the main character is Character A (see FIG. 27) and the big hit expectation of the battle combination of “Character A × Character B” when the main character is Character B The degrees (see FIG. 28) are different. In addition, the big hit expectation degree of the battle combination of “Character A × Character C” when the main character is Character A (see FIG. 27), and the big hit expectation of the battle combination of “Character A × Character C” when the main character is Character C. The degrees (see FIG. 29) are different. In addition, the big hit expectation degree of the battle combination of “Character A × Character D” when the main character is Character A (see FIG. 27) and the big hit expectation of the battle combination of “Character A × Character D” when the main character is Character D The degrees (see FIG. 30) are different. The same applies to the other combinations “Character B × Character C”, “Character B × Character D”, and “Character C × Character D”.

  In the second embodiment, there are 6 types of battle videos (combination battles) (see FIG. 24) and 12 types of video data (see FIG. 25), but 24 types of presentations (see FIG. 26) are possible as a whole. . Therefore, it is possible to further enhance the performance effect by further enhancing the performance participation function by the player.

  In Examples 1 and 2, the hero selectable period is included in a period in which a plurality of effect symbols are in a specific reach state, but may be set in other periods. For example, in a normal gaming state (short-time gaming state, probability variation gaming state), a period in which the special symbol does not change may be a period in which the main character can be selected.

  Alternatively, the main character selectable period may be included in a period in which a specific jackpot game is occurring. This specific jackpot game is, for example, a jackpot game that shifts to a probable game state after the jackpot game. In this case, the hero selectable period may be set only when the normal gaming state changes to a specific jackpot game, and may not be set when the probability change gaming state changes to a specific jackpot game. In other words, once a hero is selected from the normal gaming state and becomes a specific big hit game, the hero is fixed until it is defeated (until it shifts from the probable gaming state to the short-time gaming state or the normal gaming state). May be.

  Further, when selecting a battle video of a battle combination between the character selected as the main character and any of a plurality of other characters, the player operates the effect button device 6 to select an enemy, so that the battle video is displayed. You may choose. When the main character is selected, the player may execute the effect lottery based on the result of the big hit lottery instead of operating the effect button device 6 and executing it.

  In addition, a character (number of characters) that can be a hero or an enemy, a battle combination predetermined by the plurality of characters (number of battle combinations), or a plurality of battle combinations for each hero character is selected. The selectivity and the like can be changed as appropriate.

  It should be noted that various changes other than those disclosed above can be added. In addition, the present invention can be applied to various pachinko gaming machines, and can also be applied to various gaming machines such as slot machines other than pachinko gaming machines.
