  The present invention relates to a gaming machine.

  Patent Document 1 below discloses a gaming machine that is set so that a dedicated jackpot effect is executed when an operation button is operated a predetermined number of times while the selected jackpot effect is being announced. ing.

JP 2010-46536 A

  In the configuration described in Patent Document 1, the dedicated jackpot effect is not generated unless the operation of the operation button is triggered to generate the dedicated jackpot effect.

  The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a gaming machine capable of enhancing the game preference by making it difficult to predict the performance to be executed.

A gaming machine according to the present invention made to solve the above-described problems is a specific effect executing means for selecting and executing an effect executed during a specific game state different from the normal game state from a plurality of types of specific effects. A time measuring unit that starts measuring time when a predetermined condition is satisfied, and the specific effect executing unit is based on the time measured by the time measuring unit when the specific gaming state is started. An effect executed during the specific game state is selected and executed from the plurality of types of specific effects , and the specific game state is continuously executed as long as a predetermined continuation condition is satisfied. The time measured by the time measuring means is not reset as long as there is a possibility that the specific gaming state is continuously executed. And performing the elapsed time, including with the time measurement in the gaming state to be executed between the game state.

According to the above gaming machine according to the present invention, the specific effect executed during the specific game state is determined based on the time measured by the time measuring means, so which specific effect is the executed effect. It becomes difficult to predict and it is possible to increase the player's interest in the performance to be performed .
In addition, as long as there is a possibility that the specific gaming state is continuously executed, the time measured by the time measuring unit is added (increased), so the time measured by the time measuring unit is long. The more likely it is, the more likely it is that the rare and specific effects will be executed, and there is a specific effect that will not be executed unless the predetermined time is exceeded. It is possible to increase.
In addition, the length of the game state between the specific game states is related to the selected specific effect, and it is possible to improve the game preference.

  According to the gaming machine according to the present invention, it is difficult to predict an effect to be executed, and thus it is possible to improve the game preference.

It is a front view of the gaming machine according to the present embodiment. It is the table | surface which showed the relationship between the time for production | presentation, and production | presentation during jackpot. It is a time chart for demonstrating the relationship between production time and jackpot production along a specific example. It is a table | surface for demonstrating the example from which a lottery table changes according to production time. FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of displaying or suggesting a timing at which a selection mode of a jackpot effect is switched in a gaming machine provided with a display means for displaying a time for performance.

  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.

  The game area 902 is provided with a display device 91, a first start winning opening 904, a second starting winning opening 905, a large winning opening 906, an out opening, and the like. The display area 911 of the display device 91 is an area that can be viewed through an opening 901 formed in the game board 90.

  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 first starting winning port 904, the second starting winning port 905, or the big winning port 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 is executed by a winning determination means provided on a control board (not shown) triggered by winning a game ball in the first start winning opening 904 or the second starting winning opening 905 (a plurality of such start winning openings are provided). May be provided). Specifically, when a numerical value is acquired from a random number source in response to winning of a game ball in the first start winning opening 904 or the second starting winning opening 905, and the numerical value is the same as a predetermined jackpot number It will be a big hit and will be out of place if different. Any notification mode may be used. In the present embodiment, as in the case of a known gaming machine, when a big hit is made, for example, an identification symbol (a symbol for notifying whether or not the game is successful) is notified by a predetermined combination (for example, a triple of the same symbol). If any other combination is displayed, it will be out of place.

  When the jackpot is won, a jackpot game (corresponding to a specific game in the present invention) is executed. The jackpot game is a game in which the prize winning opening is frequently opened and the player can acquire a lot of game balls (so-called game balls). To do. A plurality of types of jackpot games having different expected values of game balls that can be acquired may be set.

  In this embodiment, probability variation jackpots (specific jackpots) and normal jackpots are set as jackpots. The probability variation jackpot is a game state after the jackpot game is transferred to the probability variation state. The probability variation state is a state (high probability state) in which the probability of winning a jackpot is higher than the normal gaming state.

  The probability variation state in the present embodiment is a state in which the second start winning prize opening 905 is likely to be in an open state (also a so-called time reduction state). Specifically, the player frequently plays the second start winning opening 905 by playing a game (so-called right-handed game) so that the game ball enters the right side of the game area 902 provided with the second starting winning opening 905. In this state, the game ball wins. The second start winning opening 905 is displaced between a closed state in which a game ball is difficult or impossible to enter and an open state in which a game ball is easy to enter. The lottery for determining whether or not the second start winning opening 905 is in the open state is executed when the game ball passes through the normal starting winning opening 905a. When the probability change state is present (when the game ball is in the normal gaming state) Since the probability of winning the lottery is set higher, the second start winning opening 905 is frequently opened. In the normal game state, the second start winning opening 905 is not frequently opened as described above, so the player plays a game so that a game ball enters the left side of the game area 902 (so-called left-handed game). become. Specifically, a winning ballot is received when a game ball enters the first start winning opening 904. The probability that a game ball will enter the first start winning opening 904 by the so-called left-handed game is lower than the probability that the game ball will enter the second start winning opening 905 by the so-called right-handed game in the probability variation state. . In the present embodiment, a predetermined number of award balls are paid out by winning a game ball in the second start winning opening 905, so that the number of game balls is less during the probability variation state (compared to the normal game state). You can play without reducing.

  When the jackpot is won in the normal gaming state, and the jackpot is a probability variation jackpot, after the jackpot game is over, the game shifts to a probability variation state. The probability variation state continues as long as the jackpot that transitions to the probability variation state again after the jackpot game ends, that is, the probability variation jackpot continues to be won (so-called consecutive play). In other words, when transitioning to the probability fluctuation state, it is guaranteed that the game can be played until the next big hit without reducing the game balls so much.

  In the present embodiment, when a normal jackpot is won during the normal gaming state or the probability change, the winning probability is in a low probability state. However, there is a so-called time shortening state (hereinafter sometimes referred to as a low probability short-time state) in which a game ball is likely to win the second start winning opening 905 until a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) are executed. continue. Therefore, if the big win is won again in the low probability short time state, the jackpot game can be continuously enjoyed (so-called consecutive play) without reducing the number of game balls so much. If the winning jackpot in the low-probability short-time state is a probability variation jackpot, the probability variation state is entered again after the jackpot game ends. If it is a normal jackpot, after the jackpot game ends, it enters a low probability short-time state that continues until a predetermined number of lotteries.

  Note that the type of jackpot and the relationship of the game state with it are merely examples. Ordinary jackpots or probability variation jackpots may be set. For example, although the probability of winning the jackpot is higher than usual, a jackpot that does not become a so-called time reduction state may be set. In addition, a gaming state may be set in which the probability variation state and the time shortening state (regardless of whether the jackpot winning probability is high or low) are set until the jackpot lottery is performed a predetermined number of times. The content described below is a technique for selecting an effect to be executed during a jackpot game when the player wins a jackpot without reducing the number of game balls (so-called consecutive play). is there.

  A predetermined effect is executed during the big hit gaming state. In the present embodiment, one movie selected from a plurality of types of movies is displayed on the display device 91 during the jackpot gaming state. Each movie can be exemplified by a movie that progresses in accordance with the progress of the jackpot game (a movie that progresses according to the number of rounds). In this way, a single jackpot effect is selected and executed from a plurality of preset jackpot effects (corresponding to the specific effect in the present invention) (selecting the jackpot effect) The means for executing corresponds to the specific effect executing means in the present invention). In the present embodiment, five effects of A effect to E effect are set as effects during the big hit. During the jackpot gaming state, any one of the A effect to the E effect is executed. The various jackpot effects (A effect to E effect) may not be related to each other at all, and are related to each other like one story starting from the A effect and ending with the E effect. Also good.

  The gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment includes a time measuring unit that starts measuring time (hereinafter also referred to as effect determination time) when a predetermined condition is satisfied. The time measuring means in the present embodiment is the time when the first jackpot game is started (the measurement start time may be slightly different. In other words, the “start time” of the jackpot game is referred to as “when triggered”. The time for production is measured. Any place (type of substrate, etc.) where the time measuring means is provided may be used. As mentioned above, if you win a normal jackpot, if you do not win a jackpot in the subsequent low probability short-time state, you will return to the normal gaming state, otherwise the jackpot game will be executed continuously is there. The above “first jackpot game” means that the first jackpot game (the so-called first hit) of one or a plurality of jackpot games executed in the normal gaming state until winning the jackpot and returning to the normal gaming state That's what it means. Accordingly, when a big win is won during the normal gaming state, the production time measurement is started at the start of the big winning game, and the production time measurement is continued until returning to the normal gaming state again. In other words, as long as the player can win the jackpot without reducing so-called game play (as long as there is a possibility that the jackpot gaming state is continuously executed), the performance time is added by the time measuring means. Will not reset.

  Therefore, for example, if you win a probability change jackpot, enter the probability fluctuation state after the jackpot game ends and then win the jackpot again, the time in the probability change state between the jackpot games is also added as a performance time The In addition, when a normal jackpot is won and the jackpot game is won again in the low probability short-time state after the jackpot game ends, the time in the low-probability short-time state between jackpot games is also added as the effect time.

  When the jackpot is won, the jackpot effect that is executed during the jackpot gaming state is determined based on the performance time measured by the time measuring means. In the present embodiment, an effect determination table as shown in FIG. 2 is set. In other words, when the presentation time measured by the time measuring means when winning the jackpot (may be at the same time as winning the jackpot, or may be at a time around slightly) When the A effect is 5 to 10 minutes, the B effect is executed, when the A effect is 10 to 20 minutes, the C effect is executed, and when it is more than 20 minutes, the D effect is executed. Therefore, for the player, the scarcity of the production (the difficulty of occurrence) is the least in the A production, and increases in the order of the B production, the C production, and the D production. The relation between the production time and the production can be changed as appropriate. For example, the length of the production time allocated to each production can be increased or decreased as appropriate. The effect determination table may be uniquely determined, or the contents of the table may change each time.

  Also, for example, the A effect is 0 to 2 minutes, the B effect is 2 to 7 minutes, the C effect is 7 to 15 minutes, and the D effect is 15 minutes or more. The timing (time) at which the production is switched, such as being executed, is reached earlier in the first half (so that the production switching time becomes longer as the production time becomes the second half). The first half may be switched quickly (you can see various effects), and the second half may be switched slowly. The setting opposite to this, that is, the switching of the production in the first half may be slow and the switching in the second half may be quick. For example, when the success ratio of jackpot is high and the expected value of the number of times of so-called recreation is set high, it is preferable that the changeover of the production becomes faster as the production time becomes longer. Further, the player may be able to arbitrarily select either the aspect in which the effect switching is faster in the first half or the aspect in which the effect switching is earlier in the latter half.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the E effect, which is one of the jackpot effects, is set as the most rare effect (corresponding to the special effect in the present invention). The generation conditions are that the performance time measured by the time measurement means exceeds a predetermined time, and the number of jackpot winnings from the time when the measurement of the performance time by the time measurement means is started (a jackpot game was executed) (Number of times) is equal to or greater than a predetermined number. That is, in the above-mentioned effects A to D, only the effect time measured by the time measuring means is set as a condition for generating the effect, but the E effect is the number of jackpot wins in addition to the effect time. Is added as a condition, so the rarity is higher than the above-mentioned A effects to D effects (among these D effects having the highest rarity). In the present embodiment, 30 minutes is set as the predetermined time, and 10 is set as the predetermined number of times.

  Further, the time measuring means has been described to continuously measure the time from the start of the first jackpot game until the return to the normal gaming state as the production time, but in this embodiment, the time has shifted to the standby state. Sometimes it is set to temporarily stop the measurement of the production time (means for controlling the transition to the standby state and the cancellation of the standby state corresponds to the standby state setting means in the present invention). The standby state is a state in which a game is not performed by a player for a predetermined time, and is shifted when a predetermined standby transition condition is satisfied. Various standby transition conditions can be set, but at least “a game has not been performed for a predetermined time” is set as one of the conditions. Similarly, various standby cancellation conditions for canceling the standby state can be set, but “game played” is set as one of the conditions. Note that any method for detecting whether or not a game is being performed may be used. For example, it may be detected based on whether or not a game ball is fired (whether or not the launcher 908 is operated), or whether or not the game ball has won a predetermined winning area. You may detect as a reference | standard. About the aspect of the gaming machine in the standby state, it is the same as a known gaming machine (display indicating that it is in the standby state is displayed on the display device 91, and the light amount of various light sources is reduced to enter the power saving mode. Therefore, detailed description is omitted.

  The time measuring means temporarily stops the measurement of the production time triggered by the transition to the standby state, and restarts the measurement of the production time (from the time when it was stopped) triggered by the cancellation of the standby status. . That is, the production time is not reset by shifting to the standby state.

  In the gaming machine 1 set in this way, the flow of a series of effect determinations from the time of first winning the big hit to the transition to the normal gaming state will be described along a specific example (time chart shown in FIG. 3). To do.

  If the jackpot is won during the normal gaming state, the jackpot is the first jackpot. With the winning of the jackpot, the time measuring means starts measuring the production time (time (1) shown in FIG. 3). The jackpot effect that is executed during the first jackpot is the A effect (time (2) shown in FIG. 3) because the effect time measured by the time measuring means is zero.

  In this specific example, it is assumed that the first jackpot is a probability variation jackpot. In this case, the gaming state after the end of the first jackpot game is a probability variation state. In principle, the production time is measured even during the probability fluctuation state. Here, it is assumed that the standby state is entered during the probability variation state. The time measuring means that detects the transition to the standby state temporarily stops the production time measurement (time point (3) shown in FIG. 3). When it is detected that the standby state has been eliminated, the measurement of the production time is resumed (time (4) shown in FIG. 3).

  Assume that you win a jackpot during the probability fluctuation. In other words, it is assumed that after winning the first jackpot, the player won the second jackpot without shifting to the normal gaming state (time point (5) shown in FIG. 3). When the effect time at this time is 7 minutes, the jackpot effect that is executed during the jackpot game is the B effect (time (6) shown in FIG. 3).

  As described above, when the jackpot winning is repeated a plurality of times and the winning time is more than 20 minutes and the jackpot is won, the jackpot winning effect executed during the jackpot game is the D effect (shown in FIG. 3). (Time of (7)).

  Assume that this jackpot is usually a jackpot. In that case, the gaming state after the end of the jackpot game becomes a low probability short time state. The production time is measured even during the low probability short time state except during the standby state. It is assumed that the jackpot is won again before the low probability short-time state ends, and the jackpot is the tenth jackpot counted from the first jackpot. Then, it is assumed that the production time when winning the jackpot is 31 minutes. In this case, since the conditions for executing the E effect described above are satisfied, the jackpot effect that is executed during the jackpot game is the E effect (at time (8) shown in FIG. 3).

  It is assumed that this jackpot is usually a jackpot, and after the jackpot game is over, the game shifts to a low probability short time state. If the jackpot lottery is executed 100 times in the low probability short-time state and the jackpot is not won, the low-probability short-time state ends. That is, the game state is shifted to the normal gaming state. Therefore, the measurement of the production time by the time measuring means is completed (time (9) shown in FIG. 3).

  According to the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment described above, the jackpot effect that is executed during the jackpot game is determined based on the performance time that is measured by the time measuring means. It becomes difficult to predict whether the performance will be a big hit, and it is possible to increase the player's interest in the performance to be executed.

  Also, the stage time measured by the time measuring means is set so as not to be reset as long as there is a possibility that the jackpot game is continuously executed (so-called “ream”). It is possible to make a highly interesting gaming machine in which the jackpot effect executed variously depending on whether it continues to some extent.

  Even if the player stops the game, if the time for effect is continuously added by the time measuring means, the relationship between the effect time to be measured and the selected jackpot effect is broken. In addition, there is a possibility that a player who stops the game in order to extend the performance time measured by the time measuring means. On the other hand, in this embodiment, since the measurement of the production time is set to be temporarily stopped during the standby state, the occurrence of such a situation can be suppressed.

  In addition, since the E effect, which is a special effect that is executed when both the number of wins and the measured effect time satisfy a predetermined condition, the effect number and the measured effect time are determined. It is possible to make it a highly interesting gaming machine related to It is also possible to increase the rarity of the E effect which is a special effect. In the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, since a situation that satisfies the above conditions can occur as long as the game is played as usual, certain specific conditions (for example, operating means must be operated) are set. If you don't know, there is no such thing as E production that is a special production.

  In addition, since the performance time is measured even during the probability fluctuation state between the jackpot games and the low probability short-time state, the length of the game state between the jackpot games is related to the selected jackpot effect. It is possible to enhance the game preference. For example, it is possible to make a setting such as a game mode in which the player wishes that the probability variation state between jackpot games and the low probability time-short state become long.

  The gaming machine 1 according to the above embodiment can be changed as follows, for example.

  In the gaming machine 1 according to the above-described embodiment, it has been described that the effect executed by the effect time measured by the time measuring unit is uniquely determined, but the effect time measured by the time measuring unit is Accordingly, the lottery table for determining the effect may be changed. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the lottery tables X to Z for determining the jackpot effect are set according to the performance time (see FIG. 4A), and the jackpot effect is determined. The lottery table (any one of the lottery tables shown in FIGS. 4B to 4D) is selected according to the production time, and one of the effects ( For example, it is good also as a structure from which A effect-E effect) is selected. In other words, even if the production time is the same time, the executed big hit production may be different.

  Further, the effect time measured by the time measuring means may be a setting that cannot be grasped by the player, or the effect time may be displayed so that the player can grasp. Any display means for displaying the production time may be used. You may display on the main display apparatus 91 which performs various effects, and the display means which displays the time for effects may be provided separately.

  If the time for performance is not displayed and the player cannot recognize it, it is advantageous in that the change in performance cannot be predicted. On the other hand, if the measured effect time can be visually recognized, it is possible to provide enjoyment such as finding the relationship between the measured time and the selected effect. Further, it is possible to make it easy to understand the game progress speed (the jackpot game, the progress speed of the game during the probability variation state, and the time reduction state).

  When it is set as the structure which displays the time for production | presentation, it is good to set it as the setting which displays or suggests the timing at which the selection mode of production | presentation in jackpot is switched. For example, as in the above-described embodiment, when the production time is 5 minutes, the big hit production effect is switched from the A production to the B production. It may be configured to display (see FIG. 5A), and display the production time in blue characters after 5 minutes (see FIG. 5B). In this case, after 10 minutes, the production time is displayed in green letters, and after 20 minutes, the production time is displayed in red letters (see FIG. 5C). What is necessary is just to suggest to a player that a certain difference is set.

  In addition, the display time is changed only when the selection mode of the jackpot effect is switched (in the case of the above embodiment, only when reaching 5 minutes, 10 minutes, and 20 minutes) (for example, temporarily) The color may be changed or the light may be emitted) to indicate to the player that some setting changes at that time.

  With such a configuration, it is possible to allow the player to understand that some kind of change has occurred depending on the performance time measured by the time measuring means.

  Moreover, it is good also as a structure which comprises the real time acquisition means (real time clock) which acquires real time (real time), and selects and determines the big hit effect by real time and the time for production. Specifically, depending on the magnitude relationship between the number of minutes in real time when winning the jackpot and the number of minutes in the stage for the performance, the jackpot performance to be performed changes, or lottery pattern of the jackpot performance Or a configuration in which a jackpot effect with a high rarity is executed when the number of minutes in real time matches the number of minutes in performance time.

  With such a configuration, it is possible to further enhance the game preference by assuming that the actual time and the measured time are related.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.

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

Although it has been described that the gaming machine 1 according to the above embodiment determines a jackpot / medium effect based on the effect time measured by the time measuring means, the target effect is limited to the jackpot effect. It is not a thing. In addition, the same technical idea as described above may be applied to switch the effect executed during a single jackpot. For example, the jackpot game is divided into a plurality of parts (eg, it can be divided by the so-called number of rounds or divided at the timing when the winning opening to be changed can be changed), and the effects executed in each part are the same as above You may decide by the method of .
