Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine.

  There is known a gaming machine provided with operation means that can be operated by a player. In gaming machines provided with such operation means, various techniques have been proposed to improve the preference of performance using the operation means in order to increase the player's willingness to operate the operation means (for example, the following patents) Reference 1).

JP 2014-144222 A

  An object of the present invention is to improve the preference of performance using an operating means in a gaming machine provided with operating means operable by a player.

A gaming machine according to the present invention made to solve the above-mentioned problems is an operation means that can be operated by a player, and an effect using the operation means, which is executed after the previous operation effect and the previous operation effect. And an effect control means for controlling a post-operation effect that is sometimes set, and as the post-operation effect, a plurality of kinds of effects are set in which operation methods of the operation means required for a player are different, and the effect The control means determines the type of the post-operation effect to be executed after the destination operation effect based on the operation mode of the operation means in the destination operation effect , and as a control state by the effect control means, Whatever the operation mode of the operation effect in the prior operation effect, the first control state in which the post operation effect executed after the prior operation effect becomes the first post operation effect; When the operation mode of the operation effect in the production effect satisfies a predetermined condition, the post-operation effect executed after the previous operation effect becomes a second post-operation effect different from the first post-operation effect, A second control state in which when the operation mode of the operation effect in the previous operation effect does not satisfy the predetermined condition, the post operation effect executed after the previous operation effect becomes the first post operation effect; Is set .

According to the above gaming machine according to the present invention, since the operation method of the operation means required in the post-operation effect is determined based on the operation mode of the operation means in the previous operation effect, the significance of operating the operation means in the previous operation effect is significant. It is possible to execute a series of operation effects that can be enhanced .
Moreover, it is possible to increase the value when the post-operation effect becomes the second post-operation effect. Further, even when the post-operation effect becomes the first post-operation effect, the possibility that the second post-operation effect can be executed is not always excluded from the player's standpoint. Therefore, it is possible to improve the preference of a series of effects.

  According to the present invention, in a gaming machine provided with operation means that can be operated by a player, it is possible to improve the preference of continuous performance using the operation means.

It is a front view of the gaming machine according to the present embodiment. It is a figure for demonstrating an example of a prior operation effect. It is a figure for demonstrating an example (example different from FIG. 2) of a prior operation effect. It is a figure for demonstrating a 1st post operation effect. It is a figure for demonstrating a 2nd post operation effect. It is an effect flow for explaining the flow of the operation continuous effect. It is a figure for demonstrating a 1st modification. It is an effect flow for demonstrating a 2nd modification.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of a gaming machine 1 according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. First, the overall configuration of the gaming machine 1 will be briefly described with reference to FIG.

  The gaming machine 1 includes a game board 90. The game board 90 is formed of a substantially square plywood, and a guide rail 903 that forms a path for guiding a game ball launched by operating the launching device 908 (launching handle) to the gaming area 902 has a substantially arc shape. It is provided as follows.

  In the game area 902, a start winning opening 904, a big winning opening 906, an out opening 907, and the like are provided. A display area 911 of the display device 91 is an area that is visible through an opening 901 formed in the game board 90. 2 to 5 and 7 roughly show the display region 911, the shape and the like can be changed as appropriate (the shape and size of the opening 901, the shape and size of the display device 91 itself, and the like). The shape and the like of the display area 911 can be changed by changing).

  In addition, the game area 902 is provided with a plurality of game nails as obstacles that change the flow-down mode of the game balls when the flow-down game balls collide. The game ball flowing down the game area 902 changes into various modes depending on the condition when it collides with the game nail.

  In such a gaming machine 1, a game ball is launched toward the game area 902 by operating the launching device 908. When a game ball flowing down the game area 902 wins a winning opening such as the start winning opening 904 or the big winning opening 906, a predetermined number of winning balls are paid out by the payout device.

  Note that the description of the components of the gaming machine 1 that are not related to the present invention, such as the frame of the gaming machine 1, the lower plate and the upper plate for storing the game balls, is omitted. About these, the thing of the structure similar to a well-known game machine is applicable.

  The jackpot lottery (win / no-go determination) is executed by a winning / non-showing means provided on a control board (not shown) triggered by winning a game ball in the start winning opening 904 (even if there are a plurality of such start winning openings). Good). Specifically, a numerical value is acquired from a random number source when a game ball is won at the start winning opening 904, and when the numerical value is the same as a predetermined jackpot number, It will be out of place. If the jackpot is won, a jackpot game is executed. The jackpot game is a game in which the big winning opening 906 is frequently opened, and the player can acquire a lot of game balls (so-called game balls). Is omitted. A plurality of types of jackpot games having different expected values of game balls that can be acquired may be set.

  In the present embodiment, as in the case of a known gaming machine, the player is notified of the result of the success / failure determination by a combination of identification symbols 20 (see FIGS. 2 to 5 and 7) displayed in the display area 911 of the display device 91. . The identification symbol 20 starts to fluctuate with the start of notification of the determination result. When the jackpot is won, the identification symbols 20 are finally stopped in a predetermined combination (for example, a triple of the same identification symbols 20). If it is out of place, the identification symbol 20 finally stops with a combination other than that (other than the combination that is a big hit).

  The gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment can execute an “operation continuous effect” using the display device 91 and the operation means 10 (for example, a push button; see FIG. 1) as an aspect of the effect of notifying the success / failure determination result of the jackpot. It is. An operation control board (not shown) is provided with operation continuous effect control means (corresponding to the effect control means in the present invention) for controlling the operation continuous effect. The trigger for executing the continuous operation effect may be anything. For example, it may be executed when a numerical value acquired from a random number source is a predetermined value triggered by the winning of a game ball in the start winning opening 904. The continuous operation effect in the present embodiment is a kind of so-called reach effect.

  The operation continuous effect includes a previous operation effect and a post-operation effect executed after the previous operation effect. In the present embodiment, it is set so that the post-operation effect is always executed after the pre-operation effect, but the continuous operation effect may end without executing the post-operation effect (only the pre-operation effect is executed). There may be. Both the pre-operation effect and the post-operation effect are effects that require the player to operate the operation means 10. Hereinafter, details of the previous operation effect and the subsequent operation effect in the present embodiment will be described. The operation of the operation means 10 is effective only when operated within the operation effective time set for each effect. In the following, unless otherwise specified, when simply referring to “operation of the operation means 10”, it means the effective operation. A known timer display may be displayed so that it can be easily understood that the operation is within the effective time.

  The previous operation effect is an effect that requires the player to operate the operation means 10 a plurality of times. In the present embodiment, as the previous operation effect, regardless of the operation of the operation means 10, the first previous operation effect in which the mode of the post-operation effect executed after the previous operation effect is determined, and the operation Based on the operation of the means 10, a second first operation effect is set in which the mode of the post-operation effect executed after the first operation effect is set (control in which the first first operation effect is executed by the operation continuous effect control unit). The state corresponds to the first control state in the present invention, and the state in which the second first operation effect is executed corresponds to the second control state in the present invention).

  In the first destination operation effect, whatever the operation mode of the operation means 10 is, the mode of the post-operation effect to be executed thereafter becomes the first post-operation effect (details will be described later). However, in the present embodiment, it is configured so that the player cannot clearly distinguish whether the first destination operation effect is being executed or whether the second destination operation effect is being executed. Therefore, the aspect on the surface of the first destination operation effect (specifically, the operation method of the operation means 10 required for the player, etc.) is the same as the second destination operation effect described below. It should be noted that it is sufficient that the player cannot clearly distinguish whether the first destination operation effect is being executed or the second destination operation effect is being executed, and one of the first operation effects is executed. It may be suggested that the probability of being done is high.

  On the other hand, the second destination operation effect in the present embodiment is an effect in which points are given according to the operation of the operation means 10. When the total point reaches a predetermined value (after reaching the predetermined value, the point addition may be stopped or may continue to be added), and when the total point is less than the predetermined value, The details of the post-operation effects described in detail later are different. Various points can be considered.

A mode in which a predetermined point is always given every time the operating means is operated. For example, a mode in which one point is given each time the operating means 10 is operated can be considered. As shown in FIG. 2, the operation means 10 may be requested to be repeatedly hit within the operation effective time, and points may be given according to the number of operations of the operation means 10 within the time, as shown in FIG. As described above, after obtaining the operation of the operation means 10 a predetermined number of times (for example, once) within the effective operation time one or more times, points may be given according to each operation. The points given per operation may be constant or different as shown in FIGS. 3 (a) to 3 (d). The expected value of the points given for each operation may be set differently between the case where the result of the success / failure determination notified through the operation continuous effect is a big hit and the case where the result is different from the big hit. If the given points and the jackpot expectation are linked, the points given for each operation will be better than the case where the success / failure determination result notified through the operation continuous production is a big hit. It is good that the expected value of is set high. Whatever the setting, the higher the aggressiveness of the operation of the operation means 10 within the operation effective time, the higher the expected value of the total points given.

A mode in which a predetermined point is awarded when a lottery performed each time the operating means is operated. Points are not necessarily given every time the operating means 10 is operated. For example, in the effects as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a lottery may be performed when the operating means 10 is operated, and points may be awarded when the lottery is won. The points awarded for each winning may be constant or different. The probability of winning a lottery for whether or not to give points, and the expectation of points given for each win, depending on whether or not the result of winning / failing judgment notified through the continuous operation production is a big hit The values may be set differently. If the given points and the jackpot expectation are linked, the lottery of whether or not to grant points is more than the case where the winning / failing determination result notified through the continuous operation production is a big hit. It is good to set it so that the probability of winning a prize will be high, or (and) the expected value of points given per winning will be high. Whatever the setting, the higher the aggressiveness of the operation of the operation means 10 within the operation effective time, the higher the expected value of the total points given.

  The aspect of the second destination operation effect is merely an example. As another example, there is a configuration in which a long press on the operation means 10 is requested and points are given according to the operation time. In any case, it can be said that the higher the aggressiveness of the player's operation means 10 in the second destination operation effect, the easier the predetermined condition is established (the total points easily reach a predetermined value in this embodiment).

  It is good to comprise so that a player can grasp | ascertain the acquired point during a prior operation effect. Any specific method may be used. In the present embodiment, the acquired point value is displayed in real time in the display area 911 of the display device 91 in which the previous operation effect is being executed. Moreover, even if a display that can understand the “predetermined value” that is a threshold value that causes a difference in the content of the post-operation effect (can understand whether or not the acquired point has reached the predetermined value) is also performed Good. In the configuration shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, a gauge indicating the maximum number of points is displayed, and when the gauge is full (100%), the acquired number of points has reached a predetermined value. Can be easily understood (see FIGS. 2C and 2D and FIGS. 3E and 3F). However, even when this type of gauge is configured to be displayed, it is not necessary that the full value (100%) is reached. That is, a mode may be adopted in which when a certain level is reached, a predetermined value is reached. The level may be clearly discriminable by the player or may not be discriminated clearly. On the other hand, such a display may not be performed, and the player may have a configuration in which the acquired points cannot be grasped (a configuration in which points are calculated internally).

  The post-operation effect is an effect for requesting the player to operate the operation means 10 in the same manner as the previous operation effect. As the post-operation effects, a plurality of effects are set which are different in the operation method of the operation means 10 required for the player. In the present embodiment, a first post-operation effect and a second post-operation effect are set.

  The first post-operation effect is to ask the player to operate the operation means 10 multiple times (continuous operation). As an example, there is an effect as shown in FIG. After starting the production, for example, a character such as “continuous hit” is displayed in the display area 911, and a display prompting the operation of the operation means 10 is displayed (see FIGS. 4A and 4B). In the case where the success / failure determination result notified through the continuous operation effect is a jackpot, when the operation of the operation means 10 exceeds a predetermined number of times, an effect indicating that it is a jackpot is executed (see FIG. 4C). ). If the result of the determination is wrong, the effect indicating that it is a big hit is not executed no matter how many times the operation means 10 is operated (exceeding the predetermined number), and the operation effective time has elapsed. Thereafter, an effect indicating that it is out of place is executed (see FIG. 4D). When the operation means 10 has not exceeded the predetermined number of times even though the determination result is a big hit, the same effect as when the operation means 10 has exceeded the predetermined number of times after the operation effective time has elapsed. You may make it be made, and when operation of the operation means 10 does not exceed predetermined times, you may make it alert | report a jackpot by a special special effect.

  In the second post-operation effect, the player is requested to operate the operation means 10 once. As an example, there is an effect as shown in FIG. After the start of the production, for example, a display that prompts a single operation of the operation means 10 such as a character such as “one blow” is displayed in the display area 911 (see FIGS. 5A and 5B). When the result of the determination of success / failure notified through the operation continuous effect is a big hit, after the operation of the operation means 10 is performed, an effect indicating that it is a big win is executed (see FIG. 5C). When the determination result is out of order, after the operation means 10 is operated, an effect indicating that it is out of place is executed (see FIG. 5D). When the operation effective time has elapsed without the operation of the operation means 10, the same effect as when the operation means 10 is operated may be made based on the determination result, or the operation may be performed. If not, the determination result may be notified by a special special effect. The first post-operation effect is set as an effect having a higher so-called jackpot reliability than a second post-operation effect whose details will be described later.

  The second post-operation effect is not a request for one operation of the operation means 10, but may be a request for a plurality of operations. However, the first post-operation effect is set so as to require the player to operate the operation means 10 more than the second post-operation effect (the first post-operation effect is the present invention). It is a multi-operation effect, and the second post-operation effect can be said to be a small operation effect in the present invention). In other words, the first post-operation effect is set so that the aggressiveness of the operation means 10 required for the player is higher than the second post-operation effect.

  The flow from the previous operation effect to the later operation effect in the “operation continuous effect” is as follows. In addition, as long as the presentation proceeds as described below, any control method for the presentation in the gaming machine may be used.

  When it is determined that the operation continuous effect is to be executed, either the first destination operation effect or the second destination operation effect is executed. Whether to execute the first destination operation effect or the second destination operation effect is determined by a lottery or the like based on the result of determination of success / failure notified through the operation continuous effect. As described above, the player cannot clearly determine which destination operation effect is being executed, but in this embodiment, when the second destination operation effect is executed, It is set so that the probability that the target success / failure determination result will be a big hit is higher than when the first destination operation effect is executed. When the target determination result is a jackpot, the first destination operation effect may not be executed. Assuming that the player can clearly discriminate between the first-first operation effect and the second-first operation effect, it is understood that the possibility of a big hit disappears when the first-first operation effect is executed. In this embodiment, since the player cannot clearly determine which of the previous operation effects is being executed, there is no problem even with such a setting.

  When the first destination operation effect is executed (FIG. 6; S1 “Yes”), the first destination operation effect is completed regardless of the operation mode of the operation means 10 in the first destination operation effect. The later post-operation effect is always the first post-operation effect (FIG. 6; S2). That is, in the present embodiment, it is an effect that requires the player to “continuously strike” the operation means 10. Through the first post-operation effect, the target determination result is notified (FIG. 6; S6). If the setting is such that there is no possibility that the first-first operation effect is executed when the target's success / failure determination result is a big hit, the success / failure determination result that is notified through the first subsequent operation effect is surely off.

  On the other hand, when the second destination operation effect is executed (FIG. 6; S2 “No”), it is determined whether or not a predetermined condition is satisfied at the end of the second destination operation effect (FIG. 6; S3). That is, in the present embodiment, it is determined whether or not the total points given in accordance with the operation of the operation means 10 has reached a predetermined value. When the predetermined value has been reached (FIG. 6; S3 “Yes”), the post-operation effect after the completion of the second first operation effect becomes the second post-operation effect (FIG. 6; S4). On the other hand, when the predetermined value has not been reached, the post-operation effect after the completion of the second pre-operation effect becomes the first post-operation effect (FIG. 6; S5). As in the present embodiment, when the determination result is a big hit, the operation means 10 is actively operated in the second-first operation effect if the setting is such that the points are likely to increase more than in the case of a loss. In this case, it is easy to shift to the second post-operation effect.

  Therefore, for the player, when the operation means 10 is positively operated in the previous operation effect, the case where the second post operation effect is shifted to the jackpot is greater than the case where the operation is shifted to the first post operation effect. Expectation is expected. However, because it is considered that the total points did not reach the predetermined value unfortunately even though the operation means 10 was sufficiently operated in the previous operation effect, just because the transition to the first post-operation effect was made, It doesn't mean you won't lose any of the big wins. Further, in the previous operation effect, when the operation means 10 is not operated at all or when the operation means 10 is not operated much (when it is not sufficient to reach a predetermined value), the previous operation effect is the first operation. Regardless of whether it is an effect or a second-first operation effect, the post-operation effect is the first post-operation effect, but even in such a case, there is a possibility that it will be a big hit.

  That is, in the previous operation effect, if the total points did not reach the predetermined value (they did not shift to the second post-operation effect that can be expected to be a big hit), the first previous operation effect is executed internally. It is inevitable that the player cannot clearly determine whether the predetermined value has been reached due to various factors despite the fact that the second first-stage operation effect was executed internally. However, whatever kind of post-operation effect is produced, the expectation of a big hit does not drop significantly (the possibility of a big hit disappears).

  When the total point reaches a predetermined value and the second post-operation effect is executed, the first post-operation effect is executed without reaching the predetermined value. The determination result is notified (FIG. 6; S6).

  As described above, according to the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, based on the operation mode of the operation means 10 in the previous operation effect, the type of the post-operation effect, that is, the operation method of the operation means 10 required in the post-operation effect. Therefore, it is possible to execute a series of highly-oriented operation effects that enhance the significance of operating the operation means 10 in the previous operation effect.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the predetermined operation condition is satisfied by the operation of the first destination operation effect and the operation means 10 that the first operation effect is always the first subsequent operation effect, the process proceeds to the second subsequent operation effect. In other cases, since the second previous operation effect is set to shift to the first subsequent operation effect, the value when the rear operation effect becomes the second subsequent operation effect can be increased. Further, even when the post-operation effect becomes the first post-operation effect, the possibility that the second post-operation effect can be executed is not always excluded from the player's standpoint. Therefore, it is possible to improve the preference of a series of effects.

  In the present embodiment, in the second destination operation effect, the higher the aggressiveness of the operation in the previous operation effect, the easier the post operation effect becomes the second subsequent operation effect. Even if the total of the previous operation effects is considered, including the first previous operation effect that always shifts to the first subsequent operation effect, it can be said that the higher the aggressiveness of the operation in the previous operation effect, the easier the subsequent operation effect becomes the second subsequent operation effect. . The second post-operation effect is such that the number of operations of the operation means 10 required for the player is smaller than that of the first post-operation effect. In other words, since the aggressive operation of the operation means 10 in the previous operation effect leads to a decrease in the demand for the operation required in the subsequent operation effect (the required operation becomes simpler), It is possible to enhance the sense of accomplishment when the operation is reflected in. That is, it is possible to further increase the significance of positive operation in the previous operation effect.

  Hereinafter, modifications of the gaming machine according to the above embodiment will be described focusing on differences from the gaming machine according to the above embodiment.

  A first modification will be described. In the gaming machine according to the above embodiment, the first post-operation effect is set so as to require the player to operate the operation means 10 more than the second post-operation effect (first post-operation). The operation effect is a multi-operation effect and the second post-operation effect is a small operation effect). However, the first post-operation effect is operated on the player rather than the second post-operation effect. It may be set so as to require the means 10 to be operated for a long time (the first post operation effect in this example is a short operation effect in the present invention, and the second post operation effect is a long operation effect in the present invention. It can be said that.

  The first post-operation effect in this example is a request for operating the operating unit 10 a predetermined number of times (a relatively short time) sufficient to detect that the operating unit 10 has been operated. For example, as shown in FIG. 7A, an effect may be considered in which a character such as “one blow” is displayed and the operation means 10 is requested to be operated once. On the other hand, the second post-operation effect in this example is a request for operating the operating means 10 continuously for a longer time than the first post-operation effect. For example, as shown in FIG. 7B, an effect that displays a character such as “long press” and requests that the operation means 10 be long pressed can be considered.

  Comparing the first post-operation effect and the second post-operation effect in this example, the second post-operation effect has a longer operation time of the operating means 10 required for the player than the first post-operation effect. That is, it can be said that the second post-operation effect is more aggressive in the operation of the operation means 10 required for the player than the first post-operation effect. Therefore, since the aggressive operation of the operation means 10 in the previous operation effect leads to a decrease in the demand for the operation required in the subsequent operation effect (the required operation becomes simpler), It is possible to enhance the sense of accomplishment when the operation is reflected in. That is, it is possible to further increase the significance of positive operation in the previous operation effect.

  A second modification will be described. In the gaming machine according to the embodiment and the first modified example, the aggressive operation of the operation means 10 in the previous operation effect reduces the demand for the operation required in the post-operation effect (the required operation is simpler). However, the reverse setting may be used.

  An example of the production flow of the operation continuous production in the second modified example is shown in FIG. In the continuous operation effect in this example, the higher the aggressiveness of the operation of the operation means 10 by the player in the previous operation effect, the higher the aggressiveness of the operation of the operation means 10 required for the player. Has been. For example, it is assumed that an effect for requesting the player to operate the operation means 10 a plurality of times (for example, an effect for requesting repeated hits) is set as the previous operation effect (FIG. 8; S1a). Then, when the number of operations of the operation means 10 in the previous operation effect is equal to or greater than a predetermined number (FIG. 8; S1a “Yes”), the effect that asks the player to operate the operation means 10 a plurality of times as a post-operation effect. (For example, an effect for requesting repeated hits) is set (FIG. 8; S2a). On the other hand, when the number of operations of the operation means 10 in the previous operation effect does not exceed the predetermined number (FIG. 8; S1a “No”), the player operates the operation means 10 a predetermined number of times (in S2a) as a post-operation effect. An effect (for example, an effect that requires the operation means 10 to be operated once) is set (FIG. 8; S3a). After the post-operation effect, the target determination result is notified (FIG. 8; S4a).

  As described above, when a positive operation is permitted in the previous operation effect, it is likely that a player who actively performs the operation is playing, and a post-operation effect that requests an active operation is likely to occur. You may set as follows. That is, in the previous operation effect, after estimating the player's attitude (aggressiveness) with respect to the operation of the operation means 10, the type of the post-operation effect (the degree of aggressiveness required of the player for the operation of the operation means 10) accordingly. ) May be set. Note that the level of aggressiveness of the operation means 10 required for the player may be set according to the length of the operation time of the operation means 10 required for the player. For example, the post-operation effect of S2a is an effect that requires long pressing of the operation means 10, and the post-operation effect of S3a is sufficient time to detect that the operation means 10 has been operated (a relatively short time). It is good also as the effect which asks to operate operation means 10 a predetermined number of times.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment (and its modification) of this invention was described in detail, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment (and its modification) at all, and does not deviate from the summary of this invention. Various modifications are possible within the range.

  The gaming machine 1 according to the above-described embodiment (and modifications thereof) is a so-called pachinko gaming machine, but the same technical idea can be applied to other gaming machines such as a slot machine.

  The operation continuous effect in the above-described embodiment (and its modification example) has been described that the result of the success / failure determination is notified by the result of the effect, but is set as a part of a series of effects that notify the result of the success / failure determination. A configuration may be adopted. For example, a configuration in which another effect can be generated after the operation continuous confrontation effect (a configuration in which the operation continuous effect is set as an effect suggesting the development destination of the effect) may be employed. Further, before the continuous operation effect, another effect may be generated that asks whether to shift to the continuous operation effect.

  In the above-described embodiment (and its modifications), “continuous hitting” in which the operating means 10 is operated a plurality of times is given as an example of the operating mode of the operating means 10 to be obtained. The same technical idea can be applied to a gaming machine configured as described above. Specifically, when a predetermined time has elapsed for operating (pressing) the operating means, a game machine that is processed in the same way as when the operating means is operated once is displayed as “operating the operating means. The technology described using the above-described embodiment (and its modifications), replacing “the time during which a predetermined time has elapsed (pressed)” with a single operation of the operation means 10 in a production that requires repeated hits. It is also possible to apply ideas.

Further, the operation means 10 is not limited to the push button as shown in the above embodiment (and its modification). Further, the operation means 10 is not limited to one having a physical structure that moves with the power of the player. For example, with respect to a gaming machine provided with a sensor for detecting that a player's hand or the like has entered within a predetermined range, the fact that the sensor has detected the player's hand or the like is referred to as “one-time operation means operation”. It is also possible to apply the technical idea described in the above embodiment (and its modifications) instead. In addition, the technical idea described in the above embodiment (and its modifications) can be applied by replacing the sensor continuously detecting the player's hand with “long pressing operation of the operating means”. It is .
Hereinafter, specific means (game machines) obtained from the above embodiment will be listed.
The gaming machine according to means 1 controls an operation means that can be operated by a player and an effect using the operation means, and controls a previous operation effect and a post-operation effect that may be executed after the previous operation effect. A plurality of types of effects different from the operation method of the operation means required for the player are set as the post-operation effects, and the effect control means Based on the operation mode of the operation means, the type of the post-operation effect to be executed after the previous operation effect is determined.
According to the gaming machine according to means 1, since the operation method of the operation means required in the post-operation effect is determined based on the operation mode of the operation means in the previous operation effect, the significance of operating the operation means in the previous operation effect is enhanced. It is possible to execute a series of highly-directed operation effects.
The gaming machine according to means 2 is the gaming machine according to means 1, wherein the operation state of the operation effect in the prior operation effect is the control state by the effect control means. If the operation state of the operation effect in the first operation effect satisfies a predetermined condition after the first control state in which the post operation effect executed after the first operation effect is a first post operation effect, When the post-operation effect to be executed is a second post-operation effect different from the first post-operation effect, and the operation mode of the operation effect in the pre-operation effect does not satisfy the predetermined condition, the pre-operation The second control state in which the post-operation effect executed after the effect is the first post-operation effect is set.
According to the gaming machine according to the means 2, it is possible to increase the value when the post-operation effect becomes the second post-operation effect. Further, even when the post-operation effect becomes the first post-operation effect, the possibility that the second post-operation effect can be executed is not always excluded from the player's standpoint. Therefore, it is possible to improve the preference of a series of effects.
The gaming machine according to means 3 is the gaming machine according to means 2, wherein the first operation effect and the first operation state are more effective when the second control state is set than when the first control state is set. It is characterized by a high probability that the success / failure notified through the post-operation effect is a hit.
According to the gaming machine according to the means 3, the value when the post-operation effect becomes the second post-operation effect can be increased.
The gaming machine according to means 4 is the gaming machine according to any one of means 1 to 3, in which the post-operation effect is executed when a predetermined condition is satisfied in the preceding operation effect. A small operation effect that requires the user to operate the operating means a predetermined number of times, and the operation means that is executed when the predetermined condition is not satisfied in the previous operation effect. The multi-operation effect that requires many operations is set, and the higher the aggressiveness of the operation of the operation means by the player in the previous operation effect, the easier it is to satisfy the predetermined condition in the previous operation effect. It is characterized by being set to.
The gaming machine according to means 5 is the gaming machine according to any one of means 1 to means 4, wherein the post-operation effect is executed when a predetermined condition is satisfied in the preceding operation effect. A short operation effect that requires the user to operate the operation means for a predetermined time, and the operation means that is executed when the predetermined condition is not satisfied in the previous operation effect. A long operation effect that requires operation for a long time is set, and the higher the aggressiveness of the operation of the operation means by the player in the previous operation effect, the easier it is to satisfy the predetermined condition in the previous operation effect. It is set as follows.
Like the gaming machine according to the means 4 and 5, the higher the aggressiveness of the operation in the previous operation effect, the lower the demand for the operation required in the post-operation effect (the required operation becomes easier). By doing so, it is possible to enhance the sense of achievement when the active operation is reflected in the previous operation effect. That is, it is possible to further increase the significance of positive operation in the previous operation effect.
In the gaming machine according to means 6, in the gaming machine according to any one of means 1 to means 3, as the post-operation effect, a plurality of types of effects differing in the aggressiveness of the operation means required for the player are set. The higher the aggressiveness of the operation of the operation means by the player in the previous operation effect, the more easily the effect that the aggressiveness of the operation of the operation means required for the player is performed as the post-operation effect. It is characterized by being set.
When a positive operation is permitted in the previous operation effect as in the gaming machine according to the means 6, after the player who performs the operation actively has a high probability of playing the game, after the aggressive operation is requested You may set so that an operation effect may generate | occur | produce easily.
