Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine, and particularly relates to a gaming machine configured such that a point is given to a character appearing in an effect, and the content of the effect changes according to the point.

  In gaming machines such as pachinko machines, the outcome is determined based on a predetermined lottery operation, etc., but simply notifying the success does not make a difference, so various entertainment operations can enhance Yes. For example, three symbols (mainly effect symbols) are variably displayed on the liquid crystal screen over a predetermined time, and if the result of the determination is correct, the three symbols are all the same (for example, “777”). If the two symbols that were stopped at the same time were stopped (fixed display), and the three numbers were changed one by one, the characters were displayed on the LCD screen, A so-called reach effect (also referred to as reach action) in which the display is renewed or a notice effect that informs in advance of the occurrence of reach action is performed.

  In addition, there is a gaming machine in which a point is given to the character (corresponding to the player (corresponding to the player), also referred to as the player character) each time a reach action is performed, and the effect is changed as the points are accumulated. For example, in the reach production, when you perform an effect that your character and the enemy fight and you win if your character wins, even if you do not win the enemy, you can point to your character (experience value, life force, instantaneous power, stamina, There are various names such as charisma, and there are cases where the player's own character has more than one of them), and the more points that are accumulated, the easier it is to win the enemy. In addition, it is conceivable that such a point increases the level of the player's own character, and it becomes easier to win the enemy only when the level is increased.

  In Patent Document 1, the points (parameters) accumulated by the player in this way are converted into passwords (parameter specifying information) and displayed, and the player inputs the password later, so that the previously saved parameters are taken over. A technique that allows a game to be continued is disclosed. Further, in Patent Document 2, it is made possible for an unfamiliar player to take over the previous parameters and play a game by displaying the password entered halfway in case the player fails to enter the password. Technology is introduced.

In the above description, it is described that the more points you earn, the easier it is to win against enemies. For this reason, when the points of the player character are accumulated or the level is increased, the enemy becomes stronger or a stronger new enemy appears, and the winning rate of the player character is kept almost constant. Therefore, an increase in the level of the player's own character has only an advantage of being able to see strong enemies, and a player who has accumulated more points than a player with fewer points, There is no real profit in the game.
The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and an object of the present invention is to propose a gaming machine in which a player can obtain a gaming profit without changing the winning probability by accumulating points.

The gaming machine according to claim 1 of the present invention, which has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, opens a large winning opening based on a random number value extracted due to a ball entering the starting opening. Whether or not to execute a game, whether or not to execute a game, a prize winning opening opening game lottery means, and a state after the end of the prize winning opening release game is set to a normal probability state in which the winning probability of the lottery is a normal probability. A probability lottery means for lottering whether to make a high probability state performed with a probability higher than a normal probability, an image display device for displaying a character used for the production of the gaming machine, and the gaming machine after the big prize opening game Probability notification means for outputting a notification image to notify the high probability state to the image display device, and points set in advance according to the effects performed in the image display device are given to the character point A point adding means for adding the points given to the character by the point giving means; a point added by the point adding means or a calculated value calculated based on the added points; A point display means for outputting to the image display device; and determining whether or not the probability notification means outputs the notification image to the image display device, the sum of the points added by the point addition means Indeed large, and a notification probability control means for increasing the probability of outputting the notification image to the image display device, due to the incoming balls Previous symbol starting opening variation in a plurality of performance symbol is the image display device The winning prize opening game lottery means is displayed, and the variably displayed effect symbols are stopped at any of a plurality of types of preset arrangements. Then, the prize winning opening game is generated, and the plurality of preset arrangements are arranged after the prize winning opening game generated when the effect symbol is stopped in the arrangement. Regardless of whether the gaming machine is in the high probability state or the normal probability state, there is at least one common array that is output to the image display device, and the notification image is stopped at the common array. When the notification image is not output to the image display device during the variation display, which is an image output to the image display device during the variation display, which is to be stopped by the common arrangement, From the output content of the image display device, it is configured to be impossible to determine whether the state after the end of the big prize opening game is the normal probability state or the high probability state, and the probability notification means Array And the state after the end of the big prize opening game generated by the stop of the effect design becomes the high probability state, and the notification probability control means outputs the notification image to the image display device. When it is determined, the notification image is output, and otherwise, the notification image is not output.

  Here, the characters are not limited to characters such as dramas, movies, comics, and animations, but include animals such as animals, plants, vehicles, the sun, mountains, or anthropomorphized ones. The points include all numerical values that can be given and changed according to the character, such as the aforementioned parameters, experience values used in role-playing games, physical strength, vitality, charisma, possession money, and the like. The value of the points to be given is preferably positive for the reasons described later, but there may be an effect in which zero or negative points are given. However, the occurrence frequency of these values as points is reduced, and it is set to increase the added value of points by performing various effects during the game for several hours. desirable.

  Moreover, examples of the “calculated value calculated based on the added points” include a level calculated based on experience values (points), a defensive power calculated from physical strength and vitality, and the like. The calculation here is not limited to a narrowly-defined calculation that performs addition / subtraction / division / division and the like. For example, using the table prepared in advance, the level is determined to be 10 if the experience value is 100 to 199, 35 if the experience value is 500 to 699, and so on. In addition, the case where no calculation is performed as in the case where the character's money is directly displayed on the image display device is referred to as calculation (the money is considered to be multiplied by 1 or 0). be able to).

  Examples of the effects performed by the image display device include the above-described reach effects, the advance notice prior to the occurrence of the reach, the background change, the mode change, and the like. The notification image is to notify that the state is a high probability state, but this is not limited to the meaning of notifying only the current state, for example, before the big prize opening game is started, You may notify that the state after a big prize opening game is a high probability state, and you may perform this notification during a big prize opening game. Moreover, you may alert | report that it is a high probability state indirectly by alert | reporting that it is not a low probability state.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the gaming machine according to the first aspect, the probability lottery means determines a winning probability after the end of the big prize opening game as a probability before the big prize opening game. And the probability notification means makes the winning probability after the winning of the prize winning opening game the same as the probability before the winning prize opening game. In this case, the variable display is stopped by the common arrangement.

  In the gaming machine according to claim 1 or 2, the modification 1 of the present invention is continuously determined by the notification probability control means when the probability notification means outputs the notification image to the image display device. When the number of times reaches a predetermined value, there is provided a special image output means for outputting a special image, which is an image displayed only when the number of times reaches the predetermined value, to the image display device.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the gaming machine according to any one of the first, second, and modified examples 1 (including one example), at least the point or information indicating the point A point encoding means for encoding, a code display device for displaying the point encoded by the point encoding means or information indicating the point, and encoding the point or information indicating the point A code input means for inputting the code, a point decoding means for decoding the point or information indicating the point from the code input via the code input means, and the point decoded by the point decoding means And a point setting means for setting the point of the character based on the point or information indicating the point.

  Here, when the point decoding unit fails to decode the point or information indicating the point (hereinafter also referred to as a point), the point setting unit does not set the point (maintains the existing point). To do. Of course, not only the points but also the “calculated values calculated based on the added points” may be used for encoding and decoding.

  The code display device may be the same as the image display device.

  In the gaming machine according to claim 1, unless a notification image is output to the image display device, the state after the big prize opening game (for example, big hit) is a high probability state (also referred to as a probability variation state or a probability variation) or a normal probability state (Also referred to as a normal state) cannot be determined from the display content of the image display device. The notification image is output when it is determined by the notification probability control means that it is output to the image display device, and the probability of output becomes higher as the added value of the points given to the character is higher. This point is set in advance according to the effect performed in the image display device, and as the effect is performed, the point is given and the added value increases. That is, a player who has a large added value of points is more likely to be notified by a notification image than a player who has a small added value. In addition, the high probability that the notification image is displayed means that, when the notification image is not displayed, there is a relatively high possibility that the state after the end of the big prize opening game is not the probability variation state.

  According to the gaming machine configured in this way, even if the winning game opening game cannot be won, points are given by the production, and by adding this, the player can add the winning game after the winning game opening game. It is possible to receive a privilege that it is easy to receive a notification as to whether or not the state is certain. If the notification image is not output, the player will continue the game without knowing whether or not it is in the probable change state after the end of the big prize opening game, or the game will be terminated with the belief that the game is in the normal state. Therefore, the privilege that the notification image is easily output does not require the player to continue or cancel the uneasy game, which is a practical privilege. Such practical benefits can be given to the player without any influence on the probability of occurrence of the big prize opening game.

In addition, when the state after the big prize opening game generated due to the fact that the production symbols are stopped in the common arrangement is a high probability state, and the notification probability control means determines to output the notification image Outputs a notification image during the variation of the effect symbol that will be stopped by the common arrangement. When the common arrangement is output to the image display device, a big prize opening game is generated, but the subsequent state is not necessarily a high probability state.
According to the gaming machine configured as described above, since it is not known whether or not the arrangement of the produced effect symbols is in a high probability state, it is possible to be interested in whether or not a notification image is output. And the player who received more points can receive the privilege that the probability of not knowing whether it is a high probability can be made low.

  In the gaming machine according to claim 2, the probability lottery means may make the winning probability after the end of the big winning opening game the same as the probability before the big winning opening game. Also in this case, the probability notification means stops the effect symbols in a common arrangement. By configuring in this way, when the effect symbols are stopped in the common arrangement, it becomes more difficult to understand the state after the end of the big prize opening game. Thereby, the value that the notification image is output increases, and the significance of accumulating points increases.

  In the gaming machine according to the first modification of the present invention, when the probability notification means outputs the notification image to the image display device, the special image is displayed when the number of times determined continuously reaches a predetermined value. Is output. That is, the special image is more easily output as the notification image is output more easily. Therefore, storing the points makes it easier to output the notification image, so that the significance of storing the points further increases.

In the gaming machine according to the third aspect, the points and the like encoded by the point encoding means are displayed on the code display device and displayed on the code display device. When the player stores this and inputs it later through the code input means, the point decoding means decodes it, and the point setting means sets it as a character point.
That is, the player can reproduce the added points by storing the code displayed on the code display device and inputting the code via the code input means.

The device 6 is controlled to display effect images such as effect symbols on the screen 6 a of the effect symbol display device 6.

  The main routine will be described with reference to FIG. The main routine is periodically executed by a hardware interrupt about every 2 ms. In the present embodiment, the process that is executed only once from S10 to S65 is referred to as “main process”, and the process of S70 that is repeatedly executed as long as time is allowed within the remaining time after executing this main process. This is referred to as “residual processing”. The “main process” is periodically executed by the interrupt.

  When a hardware interrupt is executed by the microcomputer, it is first determined whether or not the interrupt is a normal interrupt (S10). This determination process is performed by determining whether or not the value of a predetermined area of the RAM as a memory is a predetermined value. When the process executed by the microcomputer shifts to this process, the normal process is executed. It is for judging whether it is okay. If the interrupt is not normal, microcomputer runaway due to noise or the like may be considered when power is turned on. However, microcomputer runaway may be considered to be almost impossible due to recent technological improvements, and is usually when power is turned on. When the power is turned on, the value of the predetermined area of the RAM is different from the predetermined value.

  If it is determined that the interrupt is not normal (S10: no), initial settings (for example, writing a predetermined value to the predetermined area of the memory and setting a special symbol and a normal symbol as an initial symbol to each initial to the work area of the memory) Value is written (S15), and the process proceeds to the remaining process (S70).

  If a positive determination is made that the interrupt is normal (S10: yes), an initial value random number update process is executed (S20). This process is an increment process that increments the initial random number value by 1 each time this process is executed. The initial random number value before this process is incremented by +1, but the random number value before this process is executed is the maximum. When the value is “3966”, it returns to the initial value “0” in the next processing, and 3967 integers from “0” to “3966” are repeatedly generated in ascending order.

  The big hit determination random number update process (S25) following S20 is an increment process that is incremented by 1 each time the process is executed, similar to the initial value random number update process. When the maximum value is "3966", the next process starts. Is returned to “0”, and 3967 integers from “0” to “3966” are repeatedly generated in ascending order. Note that the initial value of the jackpot determination random number is the value set in the initial value random number setting process. If this value is 250, the big hit determination random number is updated as “250” “251” “252”... “3966” “0” “1”.

When the big hit determination random number is updated once (3967 times), the initial random number value at that time is used as the initial value of the big hit determination random number, and the big hit determination random number is +1 from the initial value. Increment processing is performed. Then, when the big hit determining random number makes one round again, the initial value random number at that time is changed to the initial value of the big hit determining random number. That is, this series of operations is repeated. In the above example, when the big hit determination random number reaches “249”, it is one round, so the next value after “249” is the value of the initial value random number. If the value of the initial random number is “87”, “249” “87” “88”... “3966” “0” “1”. Next to is a new initial random number value. The number of values determined to be a big hit in the normal probability state is 10, and the values are “775” to “777”, “1775” to “1777”, “2774” to “2777”. The number of values determined as 100 is “758” to “777” “1314” to “1333” “1758” to “1777” “2758” to “2777” “3314” to “3333”. .
The jackpot symbol determination random number update process (S30) is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates 100 integers from “0” to “99”. Each time this process is incremented by 1 and exceeds the maximum value, the initial value is “0”. Return to.

  The hit determination random number update process (S35) following S30 is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates 997 integers from “0” to “996”, and is incremented by 1 every time this process is exceeded. Return to a certain “0”. The values to be won are 31 to 40 in the normal probability state and 31 to 996 in the high probability state. This winning determination random number update process is used for lottery of normal symbols, and other initial value random numbers, big hit determination random numbers, big hit symbol determination random numbers, reach determination random numbers, and fluctuation pattern determination random numbers are drawn special symbols. Used for.

  The reach determination random number update process (S40) is configured as a counter that repeatedly generates 229 integers from “0” to “228”, and is incremented by +1 for each process and the initial value is “0”. Return to. In the normal probability state, the number of values that reach when the variable time reduction function is not activated is 21, and the values are “0” to “20”, and reach when the variable time reduction function is activated in the normal probability state. The number of values is 5, the values are “0” to “4”, the number of values that reach in the high probability state is 6, and the values are “0” to “5”.

  The variation pattern determination random number update process (S45) is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates 1021 integers from “0” to “1020”, and is incremented by 1 for each process and is the first value when the maximum value is exceeded. Return to "0".

In the subsequent winning confirmation process (S50), confirmation of winning in the first starting port 11 and the second starting port 12 and input processing of each switch provided in the pachinko machine 50 and connected to the main controller 80 are executed.
In this reference example, when a game ball wins the first start port 11 and the second start port 12, a plurality of random numbers such as a big hit determination random number, a big hit symbol determination random number, a variation pattern determination random number, a reach determination random number, etc. are acquired. However, the number that can be reserved is limited to 4 at the first start port 11 and the second start port 12, respectively, and when the reserved memory is full, the game ball is stored in the first start port 11 or the second start port 11. (2) Even if a winning is made at the start port 12, only a prize ball is paid out, and the plurality of random numbers are not stored on hold.

Subsequently, a success / failure determination process (S55) is performed as condition establishment determination means for determining whether or not a big hit. When this success / failure determination process (S55) ends, each output process (S60) such as an image output process is subsequently executed.
In each output process (S60), as the game progresses, the main control device 80 controls the production symbol control device 82, the payout control device 81, the launch control device 84, the sub integrated control device 83, the big prize opening solenoid 14b, and the like. Each output process is executed. That is, when it is detected by the winning confirmation process (S50) that there is a winning game ball in each winning slot on the game board 1, the winning ball data is output to the payout control device 81 so as to pay out the gaming ball as the winning ball. In the process of outputting sound data corresponding to the gaming state to the sub-integrated control device 83, an error signal is output to the production symbol control device 82 to notify that there is an error when the pachinko machine 50 is abnormal. Each process is executed.

  In the subsequent fraud monitoring process (S65), it is monitored whether or not fraud is performed on the normal winning award (the first left winning port 31, the second left winning port 32, the third left winning port 33, the fourth left winning port 34). It is a process to determine whether or not the number of game balls entering the winning opening within a predetermined time is greater than a predetermined number. It is processing to do. That is, the fraud determination means is provided in the main controller 80.

  The above-described remaining process following this process is composed of the initial value random number update process (S70), but is exactly the same process as S20 described above. This process forms an infinite loop and is repeated as long as time is allowed until the next interrupt is executed. The time required to execute this processing from S10 to S65 described above differs for each interrupt depending on whether or not to execute the jackpot processing, the difference in the display mode of special symbols, and the like. As a result, the number of times the remaining process is executed is different for each interrupt, and the value updated to the initial random number is not uniform when the interrupt process shown in FIG. 5 is executed once. Thereby, the possibility that the initial value random number is synchronized with the big hit determination random number becomes extremely small. If the value of the initial random number (3967 from 0 to 3966) when the big hit determination random number is made one round, the probability of synchronization is only 1/3967. The hit determination random number update process (S35) described above may also be executed in the remaining process.

  The winning confirmation process in S50 is as shown in FIG. 6, and the main controller 80 determines whether or not a game ball has entered the first starting port 11 based on the detection signal of the first starting port switch 11a. Judgment is made (S100). If a positive determination is made (S100: yes), the jackpot determination random number, the jackpot symbol determination random number, the reach determination random number, the variation pattern determination random number, etc. are read from the corresponding counters, and the first reserved memory is full (this reference example) It is determined whether the number is 4) (S105).

  If the first reserved memory is not full (S105: no), each random number is stored as the first reserved memory, and the lighting number of the first special symbol reserved number display device 18 is increased by 1 (S110). If there are already four first reserved memories (S105: yes), the process does not store, and the process proceeds to S115 without increasing the number of lighting of the first special symbol reserved number display device 18.

  When it is determined that the game ball is not in the first start port 11 (S100: no), the process also proceeds to S115, and the game ball is input to the second start port 12 based on the detection signal of the second start port switch 12a. It is determined whether or not a ball has entered. If the determination is affirmative (S115: yes), the jackpot determination random number, the jackpot symbol determination random number, the reach determination random number, the fluctuation pattern determination random number, etc. are read from the corresponding counters, and the second reserved memory is full (this reference example) (S120).

  If the second reserved memory is not full (S120: no), the above random numbers are stored as the second reserved memory, and the lighting number of the second special symbol reserved number display device 19 is increased by 1 (S125). If there are already four second hold memories (S120: yes), the second hold is not stored, and the present process is terminated (returned) without increasing the number of lighting of the second special symbol hold number display device 19. Moreover, this process is complete | finished also when the game ball has not entered into the 2nd starting port 12 (S115: no).

  7-10, main controller 80 determines whether or not the special electric accessory is operating based on the jackpot flag (S200). If the determination in S200 is negative, the special symbol is not changing (S205: no), and the confirmed symbol is not displayed (S210: no), the process proceeds to S250 in FIG. It is determined whether or not there is a hold storage by (S250).

  If there is this reserved memory (S250: yes), the second reserved memory number is decremented (S255), and the process proceeds to S270. If there is no second reserved memory (S250: no), it is determined whether there is a first reserved memory (the above-mentioned reserved memory in S110) (S260). If there is the first reserved memory (S260: yes), the first reserved memory number is decremented (S265), and the process proceeds to S270.

  In S270, the oldest one of the second reserved memories (the first reserved memory if the process is shifted from S265) is read (the reserved memory is erased), and the probability variation flag is set (ie, 1) or not. Determine. Here, the probability variation flag of 1 means that the current pachinko machine 50 is in a high probability gaming state. If the determination is affirmative (S270: yes), the read big hit determination random number is collated with the hit value recorded in the probability variation table (S275). Here, the number of hit values is 100, which are 758 to 777, 1314 to 1333, 1758 to 1777, 2758 to 2777, and 3314 to 3333. That is, the hit probability is 1 / 39.67. If the determination is negative (S270: no), the read big hit determination random number is collated with the hit value recorded in the normal table (S280). Here, the number of hit values is 10, which is 775 to 777, 1775 to 1777, and 2774 to 2777. That is, the hit probability is 1 / 396.7. FIG. 25 shows the specifications of the pachinko machine 50, and the jackpot probability is displayed as an approximate number thereof (normally 1/400, high probability state (probability change) is 1/40). And the ratio which will be in a high probability state after big hit is set as 70%.

  Returning to FIG. Based on the determination in S275 or S280, it is determined whether or not the game is a big hit (S285). If the determination is affirmative (S285: yes), the winning symbol is determined by the big hit symbol determining random number (S290). When the jackpot symbol is determined, the variation pattern is determined by the variation pattern determination random number (S295), and the jackpot setting process is performed (S300). The jackpot setting process is based on the determined jackpot design, the game status after jackpot (such as whether there is a probability change or opening extension) and information about the jackpot game (opening time, opening pattern, jackpot ending time, number of rounds, etc.) It is a process to acquire.

  If it is determined in S285 that it is out of place, the variation pattern is determined based on the reach determination random number and the variation pattern determination random number (S320). When the variation pattern is set in this way, a loss setting process is performed (S325). In the lose setting process, if the number of time reductions or the number of times of probability change is positive, -1 is respectively set.

  Subsequent to S300 or S325, data indicating the above-mentioned lottery result, specifically, data indicating any one of the normal big hit, the probable big hit, the out-of-reach (out, but with reach display), or out-of-reach without reach display A variation start command (display control command) including variation pattern data specifying the variation time is output to the sub-integrated control device 83 (S330), and special game processing is performed. Although the effect symbol display device 6 starts the variation display of the effect symbol by the process of S330, the main controller 80 also starts the variation of the special symbol almost simultaneously.

  If it is determined in S205 in FIG. 7 that the special symbol is changing (S205: yes), the process proceeds to S340 in FIG. 9 and whether the symbol change time (based on the change pattern in S295 or S320) has elapsed. Determine whether. If the determination is negative (S340: no), the special game process is performed. If the determination is affirmative, the confirmed symbol display process (S345) is performed, and then the special game process is performed. In the confirmed symbol display process, a command for displaying a confirmed symbol (symbol confirmed command) is output to the sub-integrated control device 83, and the command is output to the special symbol display devices 9 and 10 to stop at the confirmed symbol.

  If it is determined in S210 in FIG. 7 that the confirmed symbol is being displayed, the process proceeds to S350 in FIG. 10 to determine whether the display time of the confirmed symbol has ended. In the case of negative determination (S350: no), special game processing is performed. If the determination is affirmative (S350: yes), the display of the confirmed symbol is terminated (S355), and it is determined whether or not the special symbol that has been confirmed and displayed is a big hit (S360). If an affirmative determination is made (S360: yes), it is determined whether or not the probability variation flag is 1 (S365). If the probability variation flag is 1 (S365: yes), the probability variation flag is set to 0 in S370, and the process proceeds to S375. If the probability variation flag is not 1 (S365: no), the process proceeds to S375. In S375, it is determined whether or not the time reduction flag is 1. If the time reduction flag is 1 (S375: yes), the time reduction flag is set to 0 in S380, and the process proceeds to S385. If the time reduction flag is not 1 (S375: no), the process proceeds to S385 as it is.

  In S385, the big hit flag is set by the condition device operation start processing. In step S390, the accessory continuous operation device is operated, and in step S395, a big hit start effect process is performed. In the jackpot start effect process, a command for starting the jackpot game and information related to the jackpot game (such as the jackpot opening time, release pattern, jackpot ending time, number of rounds, etc.) are transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. When the big hit start effect process ends, a special game process is performed.

When it is determined in S360 that the special symbol that has been confirmed and displayed is not a big win, it is determined whether or not the probability variation flag is 1, and if it is 1 (S400: yes), whether or not the probability variation number is 0. Is determined (S405). If the probability variation count is 0 (S405: yes), the probability variation flag is set to 0 in S410, and the process proceeds to S415. When the probability variation flag is not 1 (S400: no) or when the probability variation number is not 0 (S405: no), the processing proceeds to S415 as it is.
In S415, it is determined whether or not the time reduction flag is 1. If it is 1 (S415: yes), it is determined whether or not the number of time reductions is 0 (S420). If the number of time reductions is 0 (S420: yes), the time reduction flag is set to 0 in S425 and the process proceeds to S430. When the time reduction flag is not 1 (S415: no) or when the time reduction count is not 0 (S420: no), the process proceeds to S430 as it is.

  In S430, a state designation command indicating a state such as whether or not the current gaming state is in a probable change or whether or not the time is short is transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 83, and the special gaming process is executed.

  In the special game process shown in FIG. 11, the main control device 80 determines whether or not the accessory continuous operation device is operating based on the jackpot flag (S500). If the accessory continuous operation device is not in operation (S500: no), this processing is terminated (returned) as it is. If the accessory continuous operation device is operating (S500: yes), it is determined whether or not the special winning opening 14 is open (S505). If the big prize opening 14 is not being opened (S505: no), it is determined whether the big prize opening 14 is closed during the interval between rounds (S510). If it is not during the interval (S510: no), it is determined whether the big hit end effect is being performed (S515). If this is also a negative determination (S515: no), it is determined whether or not the time required for the production to start the big hit game has passed (S520). When the big hit start effect time has elapsed (S520: yes), the big winning opening opening process (S525) is performed and this process is terminated.

  If it is determined in S505 that the big prize opening 14 is open, the process proceeds to S550 in FIG. 12, and it is determined whether or not ten big prize openings 14 have been won. In addition, although it is ten in this reference example, nine or eight may be sufficient and it does not specifically limit. When ten winning prize openings 14 are won (S550: yes), the process proceeds to S560, and the closing prize closing process is performed. Then, a big hit interval process (S565) is performed, and the special game process is terminated. If ten winning prize openings 14 have not been won (S550: no), the process proceeds to S555, and it is determined whether or not the opening time of the special winning opening 14 has ended. In this reference example, in the case of a big hit in 15 rounds, the maximum opening time of each round is set to 28 seconds. Of course, it is not limited to this number of seconds. When the opening time is over (S555: yes), the process merges with S560, and when it is not over (S555: no), the special game process is finished.

  If it is determined in S510 in FIG. 11 that the interval is in progress, the process proceeds to S570 in FIG. 12, and it is determined whether or not the big hit interval time has elapsed. When the interval time has elapsed (S570: yes), it is determined whether or not the last round was the last winning opening 14 opened (S575). If it is the final round (S575: yes), a big hit end effect process (S580) is performed, and the special game process is ended. If it is not the final round (S575: no), the process of opening the special winning opening 14 is performed again (S585), and the special game process is terminated. When it is determined that the big hit interval time has not elapsed (S570: no), the special game process is terminated as it is. In the process of opening / closing the special winning opening 14, a signal is also transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. Based on the signal, the sub integrated control device 83 grasps the current round and performs an effect corresponding to the round.

  If it is determined in S515 in FIG. 11 that the big hit end effect is being performed, the process proceeds to S600 in FIG. 13 to determine whether or not the big hit end effect time has elapsed. When the big hit end effect time has elapsed (S600: yes), the operation of the accessory continuous operation device is stopped (S605), and the operation of the condition device is stopped (S610). Then, it is determined whether or not the next game state acquired in S300 shifts to probability change (S615). When shifting to probability change (S615: yes), the number of times of probability change is set (S620), the probability change flag is set to 1 (S625), and the process proceeds to S630. When the probability variation flag is set to 1, the winning probability of the special symbol is improved in this reference example. When the process does not shift to the probability change (S615: no), the process proceeds to S630 as it is. Note that the number of probability changes is set to 10,000, which substantially guarantees the continuity of the probability change until the next big hit.

  In S630, it is determined whether or not to shift to a short time in the next gaming state. In case of shifting to time reduction (S630: yes), the number of time reduction is set (S635), the time reduction flag is set to 1 (S640), and a process of transmitting a jackpot end command to the sub integrated control device 83 is performed (S645). Then, the state designation command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S650), and the special game process is terminated. The number of time reductions set in S635 is normally 100 times as shown in FIG. 25 in the big hit, but is set to 10,000 times in the probability variation big hit, substantially guaranteeing the continuation of the time reduction until the next big hit. When the time reduction flag is set to 1, in this reference example, the special symbol average fluctuation time reduction, the normal symbol average fluctuation time reduction, and the normal electric accessory 12 opening extension function are set. If the time does not change quickly (S630: no), the process goes straight to S645. Note that the pachinko machine 50 has a specification in which a short time occurs after all jackpots are finished, and the determination of S630 is not actually denied.

  FIG. 14 shows an outline of the effect determination process executed by the sub integrated control device 83. This process is started when the sub integrated control device 83 receives a change start command from the main control device 80 (S700: yes). The fluctuation start command is a command transmitted by the main control device 80 in S330 (see FIG. 8) of the success / failure determination process. It can be known from the start command. When the sub integrated control device 83 receives the change start command, it is determined whether or not it is a big hit (S705). If the determination is affirmative (S705: yes), the big hit reach effect determination process is executed in S710, and the process ends (returns). If it is determined that it is not a big hit (S705: no), it is determined whether or not a reach is made in S715. If an affirmative determination is made (S715: yes), a lose reach production determination process (S720) is executed, and this process is performed. finish. If it is determined that it is not reach (S715: no), a lose reach production determination process is executed in S725, and the process is terminated.

  A part of the reach effect set in S720 is shown in FIG. The pachinko machine 50 has special training reach, match reach, and boss discovery reach. The special training reach is as shown in FIG. 18, and when the reach effect is started, an effect image as illustrated in FIG. 18A is displayed on the effect symbol display device 6. The special symbol design symbol is displayed at the upper left of the image. The left symbol and the right symbol are both “7”, and the middle symbol is in a changing state. “Lv10” displayed at the bottom of the screen means that the level of the character displayed on the screen is currently 10, and “experience value 0/100” is level 10 to increase to level 11. The experience value is further 100 from the time when the value becomes, and it is shown that the experience value is acquired by 0 (in this way, the process of displaying the level and the experience value on the effect symbol display device 6 (special training) Is not limited to reach) and corresponds to “point display means” of the present invention). In other words, this character has just reached level 10 and indicates that it is not long before, and if experience values are accumulated, the display changes to “experience value 20/100”, “experience value 40/100”, etc. . The process of adding experience values in this way (not limited to special training reach) corresponds to the “point adding means” of the present invention. A large rock and character are displayed in the center of the image, and the text “Big hit if the rock is destroyed.” Is displayed. Eventually, as shown in FIG. 18 (b), when the character attacks the rock and the lottery result is lost, only the middle symbol such as “767” is confirmed and displayed in a different arrangement. There are no rocks, regretful characters, and “sorry ...” characters (FIG. 23C). In the case of losing, 10 experience points can be acquired, so the characters “experience value 10 acquisition” are displayed on the screen, and the characters “experience value 0/100” displayed at the bottom of the screen are “experience value 10”. / 100 ". In this way, the process of giving the experience value to the character at the end of the reach production (not limited to the special training reach) corresponds to the “point giving means” of the present invention. On the other hand, if the lottery result is a win, the same symbol such as “777” is displayed and the broken rock, the joyful character, and the “big hit!” Character are displayed (FIG. 23 (d). )). In the case of winning, 50 experience points can be acquired, so the characters “experience value 50 acquisition” are displayed on the screen, and the characters “experience value 0/100” displayed at the bottom of the screen are “experience value 50/100”. To change. When special training reach is selected in the process of S710, a screen as shown in FIG. 18C is displayed. When special training reach is selected in the process of S720, a screen as shown in FIG. 18D is displayed. Is displayed.

  The game reach is as shown in FIG. 19, and when the reach effect is started, the effect image as illustrated in FIG. 19A is displayed on the effect symbol display device 6. In the upper left of this image, a special symbol effect symbol is displayed as in the special training reach. The contents displayed at the bottom of the screen are the same as the special training reach. Since the display is “experience value 0/100”, this character has also reached level 10 and is not long before. In the center of the image, the enemy character (left side facing) and the player's own character (right side facing) are displayed, and the text “Big hit if the enemy is defeated” is displayed. When the lottery result is lost, the enemy character is attacked as shown in FIG. 19 (b), and as shown in FIG. 19 (c), only the middle symbols such as “767” for the production symbol are confirmed and displayed. Then, the player character is defeated by the enemy character (FIG. 19C). As with the special training reach, the characters “sorry ...” and “experience value 10 acquired” are displayed on the screen, and the display at the bottom of the screen changes to “experience value 10/100”. On the other hand, if the lottery result is a win, the player character attacks the enemy character (FIG. 19 (d)), and the same symbol such as “777” is displayed and confirmed as shown in FIG. 19 (e). A self-character delighted by defeating the enemy character and a “big hit !!” character are displayed. In the match reach, you can get 100 experience points if you win, so the level goes up to 11 and the letters “LvUP” (level up) are newly displayed in the lower row, and the letters “experience value 0/100” Value 0/110 ". In other words, in order to increase the level to 12, 110 experience points are required. In addition, if a special training reach or a match reach occurs in the state of “experience value 90/100” and ends with a loss, the experience value 10 can be obtained, so the experience value becomes 100 and the level increases to 11. Then, “LvUP” and “Experience value 0/110” are displayed in the lower part of the screen. When match reach is selected in the process of S710, the screens as shown in FIGS. 19B and 19C are displayed. When match reach is selected in the process of S720, FIG. 19D is displayed. , (E) is displayed.

  The boss discovery reach is as shown in FIG. 20, and when the reach effect is started, an effect image as illustrated in FIG. 20A is displayed on the effect symbol display device 6. In the upper left of this image, a special design effect design is displayed as in the special training reach and the game reach. The contents displayed at the bottom of the screen are the same as the special training reach and match reach. In the center of the image, the character is running around the grassland and searching for a boss, and the text “Big hit if you find a boss” is displayed. Eventually, when the player's own character looks up as shown in FIG. 20 (b), if the lottery result is a win, the same symbol such as “777” will be confirmed and displayed as shown in FIG. 20 (c). A boss standing on the top is displayed. If the lottery result is lost, as shown in FIG. 20 (d), only the middle symbols such as “767” are displayed in a different arrangement, and no one is on the cliff. "Is displayed. In the case of the boss discovery reach, no experience value is given regardless of whether or not it is a hit or loss. Therefore, the display in the lower part of the screen remains “Lv10” or “experience value 0/100”. When the boss discovery reach is selected in the process of S710, a screen as shown in FIG. 20C is displayed. When the boss discovery reach is selected in the process of S720, as shown in FIG. Screen is displayed.

  FIG. 15 shows an outline of the big hit effect determination process executed by the sub integrated control device 83. This process is started when the sub integrated control device 83 receives a jackpot start command from the main control device 80 (S800: yes). The jackpot start command is transmitted in the jackpot start effect process in S395 of FIG. When the sub-integrated control device 83 receives the big hit start command 83, the big hit counter is incremented by 1 (S810), and it is determined whether or not the big hit counter is less than 10 (S810). If the determination is affirmative (S810: yes), it is determined whether or not the big hit is a probable big hit (S815). If this is also an affirmative determination (S815: yes), a level determination process (S820) is executed, and a big hit effect selection process (S835) is executed.

  In the level determination process (S820), the level of the character corresponding to the current player is confirmed, and the continuous effect selection rate is set. The continuous effect selection rate is set according to the level of the player character, as shown in FIG. When a big hit occurs in the pachinko machine 50, the rate of probability change after the big hit is 70% as shown in FIG. 25, but when the hit is a probable big hit, it is notified to the player. Whether to do this is determined according to the continuous production selection rate. For example, if the current character's level is 100, the continuous performance selection rate is 99%, so that the player will change to a player with a probability of 70% × 99% ≈69% (actual continuous performance rate). Inform you. On the other hand, when the level of the player character is 10, since the continuous performance selection rate is 10%, the player is notified that the probability changes to 70% × 10% = 7%.

  In the big hit effect selection process (S825), it is determined whether or not to notify the player of the probable change based on the substantial continuous effect rate set and calculated in the level determination process (S820). Notification is performed by a battle effect executed as a jackpot effect. FIG. 21 shows a jackpot effect performed by the pachinko machine 50. The big hit effect is displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 during the big hit game, and in the first round of the big hit, as shown in FIG. 21 (a), the enemy character (to the left side) and the player are displayed at the center of the screen. The corresponding own character (right side) is displayed. Then, in the third round, as shown in FIG. 21 (c), the player character is displayed up, in the fifth round, the enemy character is kicked as shown in FIG. 21 (e), and in the seventh round, FIG. As shown in (g), “Probability change entry !!” is displayed to notify that the probability change state is reached after the big hit game is over. This is probability variation continuation production 1.

  Also, there is a big hit effect in which the enemy character is displayed up as shown in FIG. 21B in the third round. In this effect, the kick from the enemy character as shown in FIG. 21D in the fifth round. As shown in FIG. 22 (f), the player character squats down in the seventh round, and the player character goes down in the tenth round as shown in FIG. 22 (h). On this screen, the letters “PUSH” are displayed in a circle and the characters “Resume with repeated strikes!” To prompt the player to strike the effect button 67 repeatedly. Note that the five squares on the left of “PUSH” lined up vertically are gauges that indicate the vitality of the player's own character. To make this gauge full by hitting the production button 67 repeatedly. If successful, as shown in FIG. 22 (j) in the twelfth round, the player's own character is raised, and “probability rush!” Is displayed, and it is notified that the probable state is reached after the big hit game is over. This is probability variation continuation production 2. When the probability variation effect 2 is selected as the jackpot effect, even if the effect button 67 is not repeatedly hit after the screen of FIG. 22 (h) is displayed, the gauge recovers as time passes, The image of FIG. 22 (j) is displayed in the round.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 22 (i), there is a jackpot effect in which the gauge does not recover and “defeat ...” is displayed in the twelfth round. In this effect, the player's own character remains fallen down until the final round. As shown in FIG. 23 (k) and FIG. 23 (m), a friendly character appears in a faint consciousness, and the player's own character rises as shown in FIG. 23 (o). On this screen, the characters “Resurrection!” And “Probability rush!” Are displayed, and it is informed that the probability change state will be reached after the big hit game is over. This is the probability variation continuation effect 3.

  After FIG. 23 (k), there is also a big hit effect where nothing appears in the consciousness as shown in FIG. 23 (l), and in this case, “Entering Chance Time” is further displayed as shown in FIG. 23 (n). Thus, it is not notified whether or not the promiscuous state is reached after the end of the big hit game. This is the end jackpot production. When the chance time is entered, it is not notified whether or not the probability change state is reached, so that the latent state is reached. If the level of the player character is, for example, 100, the notification (the probability variation continuation effects 1 to 3 are performed) is performed with a probability of 69%, and otherwise (the probability of 31%) is not notified. (End jackpot effect is selected). If the level of the player character is 50, it is notified that the probability will be 28% (see FIG. 26), and in other cases (72% probability), the notification is not made.

  Returning to FIG. In this way, when the jackpot effect is selected in the jackpot effect selection process (S825), it is determined whether or not the jackpot effect is any of the probability variation effects 1 to 3 (S830). If it is affirmation determination (S830: yes), a continuation big hit effect setting process (S835) will be performed and this process will be complete | finished (return). In the continuation big hit effect setting process, the big hit effect (any of the probability variation continuation effects 1 to 3) selected in the big hit effect selection process (S825) is executed. When it is determined that it has not been a certainty continuation effect (that is, an end jackpot effect) (S830: no), an end jackpot effect setting process is executed in S840 and the jackpot counter is cleared (S845). This process ends.

  If it is determined in S810 that the big hit counter is 10 or more, the process proceeds to S850 in FIG. 16 to determine whether or not the big hit is a probable variation big hit. If it is affirmation determination (S850: yes), a continuation big hit effect setting process will be performed and a big hit effect setting process will be complete | finished. If the big hit is not a promising big hit (S850: no), a special big hit effect setting process (S860) is performed, the big hit counter is cleared (S865), and the big hit effect setting process is terminated.

  FIG. 24 shows the jackpot effect displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 by the special jackpot effect setting process (S860). This jackpot effect (referred to as a special jackpot effect) is the same as the probability variation continuation effect 2 and the like until FIG. 21B, and an image as shown in FIG. 24A is displayed in the subsequent fifth round. In this image, the enemy character kicks off and the own character accumulates his spirit in the eighth round (FIG. 24B). Then, the enemy character is kicked in the tenth round (FIG. 24C), and the player character decides the victory pose in the twelfth round, and the text “Victory!” Is displayed (FIG. 24D). . The image of FIG. 24 corresponds to the “special image” of the present invention.

  This special big hit effect is performed when the big hit counter is 10 or more and a normal big hit is made, but when the chance time comes, the big hit counter is cleared (S845). In other words, it is not sufficient to draw the probability variation big hit, and any of the probability variation continuation effects 1 to 3 needs to be performed ten times continuously as the big hit effect.

  According to the pachinko machine 50 configured as described above, when the level of the player character increases, the probability variation continuation effects 1 to 3 are performed as the jackpot effect (that is, it is notified that the after jackpot is in the probability variation state). The possibility increases. In order to raise the level, it is necessary to raise the experience value, and this experience value can be accumulated by experiencing special training reach and game reach, so even if you can not win a jackpot, By raising the level, it is possible to find out the meaning of “making it easier to receive notification of probability change”. And, since a player with a high level of the player's own character is more likely to receive a notification of probability change than a player with a low level, it is possible to produce the conventional “can encounter a strong character” or the like. It is not a privilege but a pragmatic privilege, and it becomes difficult for the character to lose the battle because it becomes easy to receive probability change notification, so the player feels that it has become stronger by raising the level of the character It's easy to do. In addition, some reach productions can gain more experience value than other reach productions when hit like a match reach, but experience regardless of wins like a boss discovery reach. Since there is a thing that cannot acquire a value, it is possible to have a practical interest that “the possibility of being notified is increased” with respect to reach production. Such practical benefits can be given to the player without affecting the probability of jackpot occurrence.

  In addition, since the special jackpot effect needs to be performed any one of the probability variation continuation effects 1 to 3 continuously for 10 times, it is advantageous to reduce the possibility of shifting to the latent state. Thereby, it is possible to give a player who wants to see the special jackpot effect, the motivation for managing this gaming machine to raise the level higher.

Here, the correspondence relationship between the configuration / state of this reference example and the configuration requirements of the present invention is shown. In addition, when the Example 1 mentioned later is applied to the said reference example correctly, it will respond | correspond to the structural requirement of this invention. The process of S285 corresponds to the “big prize opening game lottery means” of the present invention, and in S290, it is determined whether to display a special symbol that is in a high probability state or a special symbol that is in a normal probability state as a special symbol. The portion corresponds to the “probability lottery means” of the present invention, the effect symbol display device 6 corresponds to the “image display device” of the present invention, and is displayed in accordance with the processing of S835, FIG. 22 (g), FIG. 22 (j). The image of FIG. 23 (o) corresponds to the “notification image” of the present invention, and the processing of the sub integrated control device 83 that outputs these notification images to the effect symbol display device 6 is the “probability notification process” of the present invention. The processing of S820 to S830 corresponds to “notification probability control means” of the present invention, and the processing of S810, S850, and S860 corresponds to “special image output means” of the present invention.
[Example 1]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. Since this embodiment has much in common with the reference example, only different points will be described mainly.
First, the specification of the pachinko machine 50 of the present embodiment is as shown in FIG. The main difference from Reference Example 1 is that the probability variation rate is increased from 70% to 80% and that there are two rounds. Of the 80% probable jackpots, the 15th round jackpot is 60% and the 2nd round jackpot is 20%. In general, all the big hits are 2 rounds. As described above, the pachinko machine 50 according to the first embodiment may not be provided with a short time in the process of S630 in connection with providing two rounds of big hit (described later). As shown in FIG. 30 (b), in the 15-round probability variation big hit, the big winning opening 14 repeats the opening for a maximum of 30 seconds 15 times. In 2 rounds of big hits, the maximum of 6 seconds is released twice for both probability change and normal. Reach production is executed by battle production in the battle mode, which will be described later, and except for the battle mode, special training reach, match reach, and boss discovery reach are performed as in the reference example. The experience value corresponding to the success or failure is given to the player character. In this embodiment, there is no losing reach in the battle mode, and when reaching reach, a certain big hit will be drawn. However, a losing reach may be provided separately.

FIG. 27 shows an outline of the big hit reach effect determination process executed by the sub integrated control device 83. This process corresponds to the jackpot reach effect determining process (S710) of the effect determining process shown in FIG. When this process is activated, it is determined whether or not the present is in the battle mode (S900). The battle mode is an effect that is performed after the end of the big hit when it is a 15-round probability change big hit.
If the present is not in the battle mode (S900: no), the normal reach effect setting process (S945) is executed and the process is terminated (returned). If the present is in the battle mode (S900: yes), it is determined whether or not the big hit is 15 rounds probable big hit (S905). If it is affirmation determination (S905: yes), a victory effect setting process (S910) will be performed and this process will be complete | finished. If the determination is negative (S915: no), it is determined whether or not the big hit is a probable change (S915). If a negative determination is made, that is, if the big hit is two rounds of normal big hit (S915: no), a defeat effect setting process is performed in S940 and the process is terminated. If the determination is positive, that is, if the big hit is a two-round probability variable big hit (S915: yes), the level determination process (S920) is executed, and the battle effect selection process (S925) is executed.

  The level determination process (S920) is substantially the same as the level determination process (S820) of the reference example, but in the reference example, it is a process of determining whether or not to notify the probability change among all probability variation big hits. On the other hand, in the first embodiment, when a two-round probability change big hit occurs, the difference is that it is a process for determining whether the change is a probability change (continuing the battle mode) or shifting to the latent state. . The continuous effect selection rate used in the level determination process (S920) is set as shown in FIG. 31, and the ratio of occurrence of 2-round probability variation jackpot is 20% during the overall jackpot as shown in FIG. However, when the hit is a probable big hit for two rounds, whether to continue the battle mode is determined according to the continuous effect selection rate. For example, when the current character's level is 100, the continuous effect selection rate is 100%, so the battle mode is continued with a probability of 20% × 100% = 20% (actual continuous effect rate). . Since 20% is a ratio of all jackpots, the battle mode is continued with a probability of 100% when limited to the case where 2 round probability variation jackpots are subtracted. On the other hand, when the level of the player character is 10, since the continuous performance selection rate is 0%, the battle mode is not continued, and a latent state is entered with a probability of 100%.

  In the battle effect selection process (S925), it is determined which battle effect is to be performed based on the actual continuous effect rate set and calculated in the level determination process (S920). Next, it is determined whether or not the determined battle effect is a battle continuation effect (S930). If it is affirmation determination, a continuous production | presentation setting process (S935) will be performed and this process will be complete | finished. In the continuation effect setting process, a battle continuation effect is executed. If it is determined that it is not a certain probability continuation effect (ie, an effect to shift to the latent state) (S930: no), the process proceeds to S940.

  The battle effects set in S910, S935, and S940 are shown in FIGS. When entering the battle mode, the effect image display device 6 displays an effect image as illustrated in FIG. The effect design is variably displayed at the upper left of this image, as in the special training reach. The contents displayed at the bottom of the screen are the same as the special training reach. The enemy character (left side) and the player's own character (right side) corresponding to the player are displayed in the center of the screen, and when the production symbol is reached, the player character is displayed as shown in FIG. 28 (c). Then, as shown in FIG. 28E, the enemy character is kicked. Then, as shown in FIG. 29 (g), “Big hit!” Is displayed. This is the victory effect set in S910, and when this is executed by the effect symbol display device 6, a 15-round probability variation jackpot is continuously executed. In the present embodiment, the embodiment shown in FIGS. 21 to 24 is not performed as a big hit effect, and an effect image for introducing a character or the like is output to the effect symbol display device 6 instead of the probability variation big hit of 15 rounds. .

In addition, when the production symbol is reached, if the enemy character is displayed as up as shown in FIG. 28B instead of being up as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 29D, the player character crouches as shown in FIG. Eventually, the player character goes down as shown in FIG. 29 (h), and the message “Resurrend with repeated strikes!” Is displayed on the screen. If the player succeeds in filling the gauge by hitting the effect button 67 repeatedly, the player's character is raised as shown in FIG. 29 (j), and “Resurrection!” And “Continue Battle Mode” are displayed. The This is the continuation effect set in S935. If this continuous effect is selected as the jackpot effect, the gauge will recover over time even if the effect button 67 is not repeatedly hit after the screen of FIG. 29 (h) is displayed, and FIG. The image of (j) is displayed.
If it fails to fill up the gauge on the screen of FIG. 29 (h), “defeat ...” and “chance time entry” are displayed as shown in FIG. 29 (i), and the battle mode ends. And enter a latent state. This battle effect is set in the defeat effect setting process (S940). Note that the images shown in FIGS. 29 (h) to 29 (j) are output to the effect symbol display device 6 as a big hit effect during the second round big hit.
If you pull 15 rounds probable big hits or if you pull 2 rounds probable big hits during short-time operation (when in battle mode or chance time), you will get 10,000 time-delays in S635, and 2 round normal big hits during short-time operation If it is subtracted, a time reduction of 100 times is given in S635. When the 2-round probability variation big hit or the 2-round normal big hit is subtracted when the time is not activated, the time is not given in the processing of S630, and the state shifts to a latent state different from the chance time.

According to the gaming machine configured in this way, the higher the level of the player character, the lower the possibility of shifting to the latent state when the 2-round probability variation big hit is drawn in the battle mode. For example, if the level is 10 or less, it shifts to the latent mode with a probability of 100%, but if the level is 50, the battle mode is continued with a probability of 40% (see FIG. 31) (that is, it shifts to the latent state with a probability of 60%). If the level is 100, the probability of shifting to the latent state is 0%. Therefore, since the possibility of shifting to the latent state can be reduced by acquiring experience values through reach production and increasing the level, it is possible to realize the benefits of increasing the level. And in order to raise the level, it is necessary to encounter reach production, so it is possible to find meaning in experiencing reach production even before the big hit. In FIG. 29H, the effect symbol array “787” displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 corresponds to the “common array” of the present invention, and is displayed according to the process of S935 in FIG. The image corresponds to the “notification image” of the present invention.
[Example 2]

  A second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. Since this embodiment has much in common with the reference example, only different points will be described mainly.

FIG. 32 shows an outline of the password screen display process executed by the sub integrated control device 83. In this process, the effect button 67 is operated when the symbol effect is not performed (S1000: no), the jackpot is not being hit (S1005: no), and the password input screen is not already displayed (S1010: no). Is detected (S1015: yes), the password input screen is displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 (S1020), and the process ends.
The password input screen is as shown in FIG. 34 (a). An 8-digit input field is displayed under the heading "Password input", and 10 numbers of 1 to 9 and 0 are displayed in the middle. Furthermore, icons of “OK”, “RETURN”, and “END” are displayed below it.

  To enter the password, start the password input process. The password input process is started when the effect button 67 or the jog dial 68 is operated in a state where the password input screen is displayed (S1100: yes). When the jog dial 68 is operated (S1140: yes), the cursor position moving process (S1145) is performed and the process is terminated (returned). When the cursor position movement process is executed, the cursor is moved according to the direction in which the jog shuttle 68 is rotated. In FIG. 34 (a), the cursor is hatched at the position “3”. When the jog dial 68 is rotated clockwise, the cursor is moved to the right, and the jog dial 68 is rotated counterclockwise. When left, it is moved to the left. When the jog dial 68 is rotated clockwise while the cursor is at “0”, the cursor moves to the “decision” position, and when the jog dial 68 is further rotated clockwise, “return” and “end”. “1” “2”... When the jog dial 68 is rotated counterclockwise while the cursor is at the position “1”, the cursor moves as “end” “return” “decision” “0” “9”. To do. The effect symbol display device 6, the effect button 67, and the jog dial 68 correspond to the “code input means” of the present invention.

  When the effect button 67 is operated (S1105: yes) in a state where the password input screen is displayed (S1100: yes), it is determined whether or not the cursor position is a number (S1110). If a positive determination is made (S1110: yes), a number input process (S1115) is performed and the process is terminated. When the number input process is executed, the number at the cursor position is input to the position displayed in a thick frame in the number input field. When the effect button 67 is pressed in the state of FIG. 34A, “3” that is the number at the cursor position is input to the second column from the left of the number input column. When numbers are input in this way, the position of the thick frame moves to the right.

  If the cursor position is not a number (S1110: no), it is determined whether or not the cursor is at the position of the “decision” icon (S1120). If an affirmative determination is made (S1120: yes), a password reference and corresponding data display process (S1125) is performed, and the process ends. When the password reference and corresponding data display processing is executed, the sub-integrated control device 83 collates the password input via the numeric input field, and if it is a legitimate password, the password is decrypted to obtain the level and experience value As shown in the lower part of FIG. The process of decrypting the password into the level and the experience value corresponds to the “point decrypting means” of the present invention, and the process of setting the level and the experience value corresponds to the “point setting means” of the present invention.

  If the cursor is not at the “decision” icon position (S1120: no), it is determined whether the cursor is at the “return” icon position (S1130). If an affirmative determination is made (S1130: yes), a normal screen display process (S1135) is performed and the process is terminated. When the normal screen display process is executed, a state in which the effect symbol is confirmed and displayed, or a state of a demonstration screen (that is, a state of playing a normal game or a state of waiting for a player) are obtained.

If the cursor is not at the position of the “return” icon (S1130: no), it is determined whether the cursor is at the position of the “end” icon (S1150), and if a negative determination is made (S1150: no). This processing is finished. If an affirmative determination is made (S1130: yes), password display processing (S1155) is performed, level initialization processing (S1160) is executed, and this processing ends. When the password display process is executed, the level and experience value at that time are encoded, and a screen as illustrated in FIG. 34C is displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 as a password. The process of encoding the level and the experience value corresponds to the “point encoding means” of the present invention, and the effect symbol display device 6 also serves as the code display device. Since this screen is switched to another screen in 30 seconds, the player has memorized or noted down this password by that time (hereinafter represented by a memo). In the level initialization process, the level is set to 1 and the experience value is set to 0.
If the player wishes to resume the game with the level acquired or the accumulated experience value, the player enters the password recorded at that time. Then, the level and experience value at that time are set by decrypting from the password, and the level and experience value are displayed in the lower part of the screen as shown in FIG. 34B, for example.

According to the gaming machine configured as described above, if the player takes note of the password displayed by the password display processing at the end of the game, the game that should be started from level 1 and experience value 0 is You can resume from level and experience. Thus, it is possible to increase the probability that a person who once played with this model will play with this model again. Further, since the password is a thing formed by encoding the level and the experience value, for example, if the password is taught to an acquaintance, the acquaintance can play a game from the level and password of the instructor. By utilizing this, it is also possible for a plurality of people to play a game at the same time from an intermediate level or experience value (in FIG. 34 (b), the level is 10 and 50 experience values are accumulated).
[Other embodiments]

  In the pachinko machine 50, only the reach training and the game reach are the reach effects that can obtain the experience value, but it is of course possible that other reach effects exist (or instead of these). Moreover, although the experience value acquired when losing by special training reach and the experience value acquired when losing by match reach are the same values, they may be different. By configuring in this way, for example, the player can obtain a gaming privilege such as “I lost, but because it was a reach production that gave me a lot of experience values, it became easier to be notified of certainty”. Moreover, even if it is the same reach production, you may comprise so that the experience value which can be acquired changes each time. For example, it is conceivable to use a random number value or change it according to the effect symbol that is confirmed and displayed on the effect symbol display device 6.

  In any of the above-described embodiments, the experience level obtained through the reach production is expressed to increase the level. However, the experience value is obtained by the production other than the reach production (for example, the notice production in advance of the occurrence of the reach production). You may comprise so that it may be.

In the reference example, in the case of a probable big hit, the notification image is output with a predetermined probability during the big hit. However, the notification image is output with a predetermined probability in the reach effect that is a big hit. Good. In this case, the notification image is, for example, an image where the effect symbol stops at “777”. Then, when the notification image is not output, the effect symbol stops at a slot other than “777”, and in this case, it is not possible to know whether the state after the big hit is a high probability state or a low probability state.
The special jackpot effect was not displayed unless the continuous jackpot effect was continuously performed 10 times. However, even if the end jackpot effect was continuously performed a predetermined number of times (for example, 3 times), the consecutive jackpot effect was continuously displayed. If the number of times exceeds 10, the special jackpot effect may be displayed again. When this special jackpot effect is performed, a new enemy may appear in the subsequent jackpot effect. In the effect of fighting against this new enemy, it is preferable that the continuous effect selection rate is lower than that of the previous enemy even if the level of the player character is the same. In other words, when playing against this new enemy, it is necessary to further accumulate experience values in order to have the same actual continuous performance rate as the previous enemy. By doing so, it is possible to give a new motivation to play this gaming machine to a player whose level has risen to some extent and has a high possibility of receiving notifications. In addition, when a new enemy appears in the big hit effect, it may be possible to select from a plurality of enemies. And if you select the previous enemy, it will be easier to receive notifications, and if you select a new enemy, you will receive the privilege that you will be able to fight against this enemy by defeating that enemy with a special jackpot effect. It is good to be able to.

  In the first embodiment, it is configured to notify whether or not the probability variation state is in a state in which it is difficult to determine whether the two-round probability variation big hit or the two round normal big hit, but the small hit is set to determine whether the two-round probability variation big hit or the small hit. It is good also as a structure which alert | reports whether it is a probability change state in the state where discrimination | determination is difficult. Moreover, in Example 1, you may perform the effect equivalent to the effect shown in FIG. 24 of the reference example. As a condition for performing this effect, for example, it is conceivable that the defeat effect is not selected and the player successfully succeeds in drawing a predetermined number of rounds of 15 rounds of probable big hits, and then draws a normal round of 2 rounds. In addition, the predetermined number of probability variation jackpots may include a two-round probability variation jackpot in which a continuous performance is selected, or a two-round probability variation jackpot in which a continuous performance is selected may occur (if the continuity is interrupted). May not be counted as a predetermined number of times. In the pachinko machine 50 according to the first embodiment, the time reduction is not given in the two round big hit that occurs in the time-short non-operating state. A latent state can be created by giving the same number of times in both the two round probability big hit and the two round normal big hits, and the presence or absence of notification to this may be determined by the substantial continuous performance ratio. In addition, when the continuation effect is selected and when the defeat effect is selected, the reach effect is the same and the continuation or defeat is announced in the jackpot effect. It is good also as a structure which alert | reports (or does not alert | report) according to a substantial continuation production rate.

  In the second embodiment, the password is obtained by encoding the level and the experience value. However, a random number generated by the sub integrated control device 83 corresponding to the level and the experience value at that time may be used as the password. The sub integrated control device 83 stores the random number and the level & experience value in a storage device (for example, a flash memory) in a state in which the random number is associated with the level & experience value. At this time, it is preferable to check whether the same random number is already used and stored, and if it has been used, generation of the random number is repeated until an unused random number is generated. As a result, different passwords are assigned even at the same level and the same experience value. When the password is input, the storage device is referred to. If the same password (random number) is stored, the level and experience value stored together with the password are restored. If each of the pachinko machines 50 is provided with the storage device, it becomes difficult for another pachinko machine 50 to resume the game at the same level and the same experience value as before. In order to avoid such a situation, it is conceivable that one storage device is shared by a plurality of the same models, or the hall computer 87 stores and manages random numbers. Further, the pachinko machines 50 may be connected by a signal line or the like so that passwords, random numbers, and level information can be shared if the same model is used.
