  The present invention relates to a gaming machine.

  The following Patent Document 1 discloses a gaming machine capable of executing a chance-up effect (opportunity effect) in which the probability that the success or failure judgment result is generated is increased.

JP, 2016-140523, A

  The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a gaming machine capable of enhancing the taste of a game by utilizing an opportunity effect.

The gaming machine according to the present invention made to solve the above problems executes a specific effect and a plurality of types of opportunity effects that indicate that the probability that the result of the judgment of the success or failure will be increased. The player is provided with effect execution means capable of performing, and as one of the plural types of opportunity effects, the player is shown as if the result of judging whether or not the result of the success or failure is lost, and then it is overturned. Reverse effect is shown to indicate that it is determined that the specific effect is not associated with any of the multiple types of opportunity effects, but a series of effects to notify the result of a yes or no decision in the case where the specific effect has occurred, and at least one effect of the plurality of kinds of opportunities effect until the notification of spruce determination result is complete it is configured to always generate

  In the gaming machine according to the present invention, when the specific effect occurs, the opportunity effect necessarily occurs before the notification of the result of the determination of the success or failure is completed. Therefore, when a specific effect occurs, the player watches over a series of effects with an expectation for an increase in the degree of expectation due to the occurrence of an opportunity effect.

  When the specific effect is generated a plurality of times, it is preferable that the same number of the opportunity effects are generated.

  As described above, if one chance effect is generated for one specific effect, the player wishes to generate a large number of specific effects (the second and subsequent specific effects are wasted. Never get lost).

  It is an effect including an effect element common to the first effect and the first effect, and a second effect having a lower probability of being generated than the first effect is executable, and the second effect is the specific effect. It is good to be set.

  In this way, the specific effect itself is set as a special effect whose frequency of occurrence is lower than that of the first effect (ordinary effect), thereby enhancing the value of the specific effect (second effect), or specific It is possible to make it easy to understand that the effect (second effect) has occurred.

Each of a plurality of types of identification symbols indicating the result of determination includes a value element indicating a value for the player as an element constituting the symbol, and as one of the plurality of opportunity effects, the result of determination of the determination It is preferable that a symbol change effect is set in which the identification symbol stopped or pseudo-stopped is changed to an identification symbol having a value element having a higher value than the value element possessed by the stopped or pseudo-stopped identification symbol.

  Thus, as one of chance rendition, it is possible to illustrate symbol change rendition in which the value element of the identification symbol changes to a higher value. If the value element of the identification symbol indicates the player's profit at the time of winning, it is not only that the probability that the result of the judgment of the success or failure will be increased by the occurrence of the symbol change effect, but also when it becomes a success. It will be simultaneously shown that the benefits that can be enjoyed will be greater.

A corresponding on-hold display indicating the presence of the on-off determination information corresponding to those for which the effect of notifying the on-off determination result is executed is displayed, and one of the multiple on-off display is By changing the mode, it is preferable that a corresponding hold change presentation is set that indicates that the probability that the corresponding success / failure determination result will be increased has increased.

  As described above, if the corresponding hold change effect is set in which the mode of the corresponding hold display (the hold indicating the so-called “change”) changes as one of the opportunity effects, the mode of the corresponding hold display changes. It is possible to give the player the expectation of being absent.

Are those hold display indicating the presence of a spruce judgment information presentation for notifying the advisability judgment result is not started is displayed as one of the plurality of kinds of opportunities effect, by changing the mode of the hold display It is preferable that a pending change effect is set that indicates that the probability that the corresponding success / failure determination result is successful has increased.

  As described above, if the on-hold change effect in which the mode of the on-hold display changes is set as one of the opportunity effects, an effect to notify the success or failure determination result later than the currently notified on / off determination result is started About things, it is possible to set it as the setting which may be suggested that the probability of being hit increased.

As one of the plural types of opportunity effects, it is an effect that may or may not occur at a predetermined timing, and an occurrence effect that indicates that the success or failure judgment result is enhanced is set. Good to have.

  As described above, if the sudden effect is set as one of the opportunity effects, if the specific effect is generated, the player is expected to give an expectation that the unexpected effect may be generated at an unexpected timing. It is possible.

It is an effect that occurs at a predetermined timing, and an insertion effect can be executed in which a plurality of types of aspects having different probabilities that the success or failure judgment result will be hit are set as the aspect of the presentation, one of the plurality of opportunistic effects It is preferable that the mode of the insertion effect generated at the predetermined timing be set to one of one or a plurality of modes with high probability that the result of the determination of the success or failure will be a hit.

  As described above, if it is set as one of the opportunity effects that the mode of the insertion effect is an aspect having a high degree of expectation, the player's expectation at the time of the occurrence of the insertion effect is determined when the specific effect occurs. It is possible to raise.

It is an effect that occurs at a predetermined timing, and an insertion effect can be executed in which a plurality of types of aspects having different probabilities that the success or failure judgment result will be hit are set as the aspect of the presentation, one of the plurality of opportunistic effects As the insertion effect of any of a plurality of types is executed once, an insertion change effect is executed in which an insertion effect with high probability that the result of judgment of success is successful is executed in place of it. Good to have.

  As described above, if it is set that one of the chance effects is to change the mode of the insertion effect to a mode with a high degree of expectation, if a specific effect occurs, the insertion effect is generated. It is possible to increase the player's expectations.

After pseudo-stopping the identification symbol indicating the result of the qualification determination as one of the plural types of opportunity rendition in the mode indicating that the result of the qualification determination is out, the fact that the result of the qualification determination was actually a hit It is preferable that a reverse effect to be shown is set.

  As described above, if the reverse effect is set as one of the opportunity effects, the reverse effect when the opportunity effect does not occur until the end (up to the point when the reverse effect occurs) when the specific effect occurs. Is generated, and it is informed that the success or failure judgment result is a hit. In other words, the reverse effect is the effect that may occur last, and it is a pleasure for the player to decide the hit when it occurs. Therefore, when the specific effect occurs, the player can not generate the opportunity effect on the way A highly entertaining game characteristic of wishing is constructed.

  According to the gaming machine of the present invention, it is possible to improve the convenience of the game by utilizing the opportunity effect.

  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 entire configuration of the gaming machine 1 will be briefly described with reference to FIG.

  The gaming machine 1 comprises a gaming board 90. The game board 90 is formed of substantially square plywood, and the guide rails 903 forming a passage for guiding the game balls fired by the operation of the launch device 908 (launch handle) to the game area 902 have a substantially arc shape. It is provided as.

  In the game area 902, a display device 91, a start winning hole 904, a big winning hole 906, an out port, and the like are provided. The display area 911 of the display device 91 is an area that can be viewed through the opening 901 formed in the game board 90. The shape and the like of the display area 911 can be changed as appropriate (the shape and size of the opening 901 can be changed by changing the shape and size of the display device 91 itself) .

  Further, in the game area 902, a plurality of game nails are provided as obstacles that change the flow-down mode of the game balls by collision of the game balls flowing down. The game balls flowing down the game area 902 change in various manners according to the conditions at the time of collision with the game nail.

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

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

  The jackpot lottery is executed by the qualification determination means, which is a circuit built on the main control board (not shown), triggered by winning of the game ball to the start winning opening 904 (even if a plurality of such starting winning openings are provided) Good). Specifically, a numerical value (hereinafter sometimes referred to as acceptance determination information) is acquired from a random number source triggered by the game ball's winning on the start winning hole 904, and the numerical value is the same as the predetermined jackpot value In this case, it is a big hit, and in the case of a different, it is lost. In the present embodiment, notification of the result of determination of acceptance is started (the so-called fluctuation is started) in the order in which the numerical values are acquired, but when a certain numerical value is acquired, it is acquired before that When the success or failure determination result based on a numerical value is notified, the result is stored in storage means provided on a control board (not shown) until the success or failure determination result based on the certain numerical value is started. The maximum storage number (maximum pending number) of numerical values (hereinafter, also referred to simply as pending (pending information)) for which notification of the pass / fail judgment has not been started can be set as appropriate. The maximum number of holdings that can be stored in the storage means in the present embodiment is four for each kind of start winning hole 904. The hold information stored in the storage means is displayed on the display area 911 as the hold display 20 (see FIG. 2A). In the present embodiment, it is determined whether or not the acquired numerical value is a jackpot numerical value when notification of the acceptance judgment is started. However, when the numerical value is acquired, the propriety determination is performed. The result of the determination may be stored (in this case, the result of the determination may correspond to the determination information). Moreover, the acquired numerical value is also used as a numerical value for determining the specific content of the presentation which announces a yes-no decision result.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the effect of notifying the success or failure determination result is executed (the effect of notifying the success or failure determination result is already started), and the notification of the success or failure determination result is not completed. A corresponding hold display 201 indicating the presence of the determination information (in the present embodiment, the success / failure determination result itself that has already been determined) is displayed (see FIG. 2A).

  As the modes of the hold display 20 and the corresponding hold display 201, a plurality of types of modes in which the probability (so-called jackpot expectation, hereinafter may be simply referred to as the expectation) may be set are set. b) see). In the present embodiment, a normal mode 20n, a first special mode 21s, a second special mode 22s, and a third special mode 23s are set in order from the one with the lowest degree of expectation (see FIG. 2B). In the present embodiment, the differences between the aspects are differentiated by the color of the hold display 20. However, how to set the difference between the modes, the number of types of the modes, and the like can be changed as appropriate.

  In the present embodiment, the basic aspects (each aspect described above) of the pending display 20 and the corresponding pending display 201 are the same, but even if the basic aspects of the pending display 20 and the corresponding pending display 201 are different. Good. For example, although the “color” for distinguishing between the normal mode 20 n and each special mode is maintained, the basic mode may be set to be different between the hold display 20 and the corresponding hold display 201.

  Further, as in the present embodiment, when the basic mode of the hold display 20 and the corresponding hold display 201 are the same, it is preferable that the hold display 20 and the corresponding hold display 201 be easily distinguishable. In the present embodiment, by displaying an auxiliary image attached to the corresponding hold display 201, it is possible to distinguish whether each display is the hold display 20 or the corresponding hold display 201. Specifically, an image (hereinafter referred to as a pedestal 210a) supporting the corresponding retention display 201 is displayed below the corresponding retention display 201 (see FIG. 2A), and displayed on the pedestal 210a. It is shown that the image to be displayed is the corresponding hold display 201 (not the hold display 20). As described above, each display may be distinguished by displaying an auxiliary image attached to at least one of the hold display 20 and the corresponding hold display 201. Also, as a method different from this, each display is suspended by making the gap (space) between the suspension display 20 and the corresponding suspension display 201 larger than the gap (space) between the suspension displays 20. It is conceivable to set so that it can be easily distinguished whether it is the display 20 or the corresponding hold display 201.

  In the present embodiment, as in the case of a known gaming machine, the player is notified of the result of the determination on the basis of the combination of the identification symbols 10 (see FIG. 2A) displayed in the display area 911 of the display device 91. Specifically, identification symbol groups 10g (left identification symbol group 10gL, middle identification symbol group 10gC, right identification symbol group 10gR) including plural types of identification symbols 10 start to change, and finally each identification symbol group 10g One identification symbol 10 is selected and stopped. When the jackpot is won, the combination of the identification symbols 10 selected and stopped from each identification symbol group 10g is a predetermined combination (three sets of the same identification symbols 10 in the present embodiment). In the case of an out of place, it is a combination other than that (other than the combination that makes a big hit). In the present embodiment, basically, the variation stops in the order of the left identification symbol group 10gL, the right identification symbol group 10gR, and the middle identification symbol group 10gC.

  In the present embodiment, symbols including the numbers “1” to “7” are set as the plurality of types of identification symbols 10 (see FIG. 3A). Different characters are combined with each identification symbol 10, respectively. Specifically, the symbol of "1" is the character A, the symbol of "2" is the character B, the symbol of "3" is the character C, the symbol of "4" is the character D, the symbol of "5" The character E is combined with the character “6” and the character F is combined with the character “7”.

  If the identification symbols 10 of “1” to “7” are divided according to the value for the player, they are divided into a first type identification symbol 10A, a second type identification symbol 10B, and a third type identification symbol 10C (FIG. 3) See (a)). "Value for a player" means the value of the jackpot when it is adopted as a combination (three sets of the same symbol) indicating a jackpot. In this embodiment, the symbols of "2", "4" and "6" as the first kind identification symbol 10A, and the symbols of "1", "3" and "5" as the second kind identification symbol 10B, the third kind identification symbol The symbol "7" is set as 10C.

  The player basically determines the result of the judgment on the basis of the "number" portion of the identification symbol 10. In other words, although the "number" portion of the identification symbol 10 is the main element portion 101 for determining the result of the determination of the success or failure, the "character" portion is a portion accompanying the "number" portion, It can be said that the sub-element portion 102 is for improving the game performance by being used for performance improvement and effects (such as symbol mode change effects described later).

  In the present embodiment, as a big hit, a normal big hit in which the success or failure lottery probability after the big hit game ends is a low probability state, and a probability variation big hit in which a high probability state (so-called probability fluctuation state) is set. In addition, the expectation value of the game ball (so-called out ball) which can be acquired during the jackpot game is different (the expectation value of the game ball which can be acquired is larger as the number of rounds is larger) as a jackpot: 10 rounds and 15 rounds Is set. When it is notified that it is a big hit using the first type identification symbol 10A (when three sets of the first type identification symbol 10A are shown), 10 rounds usually become a large hit. When it is notified that it is a big hit using the second type identification symbol 10B (when three sets of the second type identification symbol 10B are shown), it becomes a 10 round probability variation jackpot. When it is notified that it is a big hit using the third type identification symbol 10C (when three sets of the third type identification symbol 10C are shown), it becomes a 15 round probability variation jackpot. Note that such settings are just basic settings. After the notification of the jackpot that three sets of the same identification symbol 10 are displayed, a so-called promotion effect (a description is omitted because it is known) may be set. For example, the first class identification symbol 10A may be used to make it appear that it is a 10 round normal jackpot, and then it may be notified that it is a 10 round probability variation jackpot or a 15 round probability variation jackpot by generating a promotion effect.

  Considering the gaming state (high or low of probability lottery probability) to shift after the jackpot game and the expected value of the gaming ball that can be acquired during the jackpot game, the value for the player is lowest for the first kind identification symbol 10A, It will be said that the third type identification symbol 10C is the highest. As described above, the plurality of types of identification symbols 10 in the present embodiment include a value element indicating a value (value at the time of winning) for the player. In the present embodiment, the value element is indicated by the color tone. Specifically, the first type identification symbol 10A is "blue" (in the drawing, it is plain), and the second type identification symbol 10B is "red" (in the drawing, it is represented by hatching including only oblique lines in the same direction) The third type identification symbol 10C is a color tone based on "gold" (represented by cross hatching in the drawing). Therefore, the player can grasp the value of each symbol by the color tone.

  Note that the method of setting value elements is not limited to "tone". The value elements may be set so as to be distinguishable by the outer shape, size, etc. of each pattern. In addition, it is well known that, in known common pachinko machines, "odd" is more expensive than "even", and "7" has the highest value. Therefore, the value elements of each symbol may be indicated by the meaning of the numbers and the like.

  Moreover, it is good also as a setting which the value element of a certain identification symbol 10 may change. For example, the color tone of the identification symbol 10 of "2" may change from blue to red (the first identification symbol 10A of "2" may change to the second identification symbol 10B).

  In the present embodiment, a special symbol 11 different from the identification symbol 10 is set (see FIG. 3B). The special symbol 11 is a symbol including a character S (a character different from the characters A to G included in the identification symbol 10). The special symbol 11 is not used as a symbol for notifying the result of the determination, but is displayed at the time of generation of a card effect to be described later, such as being variably displayed with a plurality of identification symbols 10 (included in identification symbol group) May be However, it does not necessarily deny that it is set as the jackpot may be alert | reported by the said special symbol 11 (for example, by 3 sets of special symbols 11 being displayed).

  In the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, various effects for improving the taste of the game are executed (control) by the effect executing means which is a circuit constructed on a substrate (sub control substrate) for effect control (not shown). ). Hereinafter, effects that can be performed by the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment will be described in detail.

1) Card Effect The gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment is capable of executing card effects. Hereinafter, the card effects will be described in detail.

1-1) Basic Configuration of Card Effect Card effect is an effect of acquiring a card of a character (a card on an effect displayed as an image in the display area 911) (see FIG. 5). As the card, cards of characters A to G included in each identification symbol 10 are set. Also, as a card of each character, a normal card 30 and a rare card 31 are set. That is, the normal card 30 and the rare card 31 are set for each character, such as the normal card 30 and the rare card 31 of the character A, and the normal card 30 and the rare card 31. reference). The method of setting the difference between the normal card 30 and the rare card 31 may be any method that can distinguish between the two. For example, it is conceivable to distinguish between the two by making the color tone different. In each of the drawings, the normal card 30 is shown by a frame surrounded by a single line, and the rare card 31 is shown by a frame surrounded by a double line. In the following description, the normal card 30 of the character A is a normal card A, the rare card 31 of the character A is a rare card A, etc. Show each card separately.

  Basically, in a series of effects for notifying a certain success or failure judgment result (hereinafter sometimes referred to as a target success or failure judgment result), the card effect is obtained if the number of acquired cards (displayed cards) increases. To be sure, the probability (expected degree) that the target judgment result of the object is a big hit is high. In addition, the probability (expected degree) that the target's judgment result of the acceptance becomes a big hit is higher when the acquired card is the rare card 31 than when the acquired card is the normal card 30. Therefore, the player wishes to increase the number of cards acquired and to produce an effect that the card to be acquired is a rare card 31. If the displayed card is regarded as an "elemental image" constituting a card effect, it can be said that the card effect indicates the degree of expectation by the number of element images. In addition, it can be said that the element images are set with different expectations (normal card 30 and rare card 31) when displayed.

  In such card effects, it is set so that a plurality of cards of the same character will not be acquired. For example, a plurality of normal cards A can not be obtained, and neither a normal card A nor a rare card A can be obtained. There is only one card that may be acquired for the character A, including the normal card A and the rare card A. Therefore, the maximum number of cards obtained in the present embodiment is seven. However, there is a possibility that the normal card 30 for a certain character may change to the rare card 31 for that character (see card type change presentation etc. described later). That is, only one type of character is displayed at a given time as a card acquired. Assuming that the effect of acquiring a normal card is a first effect and the effect of acquiring a rare card is a second effect, the types of the first effect and the second effect are set for the number of characters. Further, the first effect and the second effect using the same type of character will include the same effect elements in that the character is used.

  Note that a character corresponding to a card that has not been acquired may be known. For example, by showing a card (character) that has not been acquired in a manner (for example, a translucent image) that is unclear than the card that has already been acquired, it is possible to determine which card is not acquired. The player may easily understand.

  The card effect in the present embodiment can also be regarded as so-called step-up effect. That is, in the present embodiment, since the maximum number of cards that can be acquired is seven, it can be regarded as a step-up effect in which the maximum number of steps is seven. Then, it can be considered that a normal card 30 which is a normal element and a rare card 31 which is a special element which is more advantageous to the player than the normal element are set as the effect elements constituting each step. In other words, not only the stage to which you proceed (I would like you to have as many stages of step-up as possible), but also pay attention to the rendering elements that make up each stage (if step-up occurs, it is rare It can also be said that this is a step-up effect (I hope that a step-up is generated by the card 31 (special element)).

1-2) Card Acquisition Opportunity The card acquisition timing is roughly divided into an identification symbol start timing and other timings.

1-2-1) Identification symbol start timing The identification symbol start timing is due to so-called pseudo continuous effect generation. Although the pseudo continuous effect itself is known, detailed description is omitted, but the pseudo continuous effect changes the identification symbols 10 (one identification symbol 10 selected from each identification symbol group) artificially stops, and again A unit effect that starts fluctuation is repeated one or more times. The number of occurrences of the unit effect indicates the probability that the object's judgment result will be a big hit. It should be noted that the pseudo stop (hereinafter also referred to as pseudo stop) means a stop mode that is not completely stopped but appears to the player as a stop. For example, it refers to an aspect in which the identification symbol 10 is slightly shaken.

  As described above, the identification symbol 10 is pseudo-stopped when the unit effect occurs. Assuming that the combination at the time of the pseudo stop is a “pseudo stop combination”, a card of a character corresponding to at least a part of the identification symbols 10 constituting the pseudo stop combination is acquired. The “pseudo stop combination” can be said to indicate the occurrence of unit effect (resumption of fluctuation), so when the unit effect occurs, the character included in the identification symbol 10 used to indicate the occurrence of the unit effect The corresponding card will be acquired.

  The above-described special symbol 11 is included in the pseudo stop combination in the present embodiment. Specifically, one of the three symbols constituting the combination is the special symbol 11, and the other two are the identification symbol 10. Although three symbols are displayed on either the left side, center side or right side (hereinafter, simply referred to as left, middle or right) of the display area 911, the special symbol 11 in the pseudo stop combination in the present embodiment is used. Is displayed on the right or inside (see FIG. 6 (b), FIG. 8 (b)).

  When the special symbol 11 is displayed on the right, the card of the character included in the identification symbol 10 displayed on the left is obtained (see FIGS. 6 and 7). When the special symbol 11 is displayed in the inside, the card of the character included in the identification symbol 10 displayed on the left and right is obtained (see FIGS. 8 and 9). That is, depending on the position of the special symbol 11 constituting the pseudo stop combination, it is different whether one card or two cards are acquired. Assuming that the card effect is a specific effect and the card displayed at the time of the specific effect is an effect image, an effect image corresponding to at least a part of the identification symbol 10 which has been pseudo stopped together with the special symbol 11 is displayed. As described above, in the present embodiment, since the variation of the identification symbol group is set to stop (simulated stop) in the order of left, right and middle, the pseudo stop is performed prior to the special symbol 11 It can be said that the setting is such that a card corresponding to the character included in the identified design symbol 10 is acquired. In light of the fact that it is preferable for the player to obtain more cards, it can be said that the player's profit is greater if the special symbol 11 is displayed in the inside. Thus, in the identification symbol start trigger, if only one card is acquired (see FIGS. 6B and 7A), if two cards are acquired at one time (FIG. 8 (FIG. There are also b) and FIG. 9 (a)), and it is set as the interesting setting that it relates to the stop order of the identification symbol 10. It may be possible that three or more cards may be acquired at one time.

  In addition, in this embodiment, when the card | curd of a certain character is already acquired, it is set so that the identification symbol 10 containing the character corresponding to the said acquired card may not carry out a pseudo | simulated stop. Therefore, when a certain identification symbol 10 is pseudo-stopped as a part of the pseudo continuous effect, a card corresponding to the identification symbol 10 is always acquired.

  The special symbol 11 indicates the possibility of occurrence of pseudo continuous effect and card acquisition, and is not usually displayed. The timing at which the display of the special symbol 11 is started can be set variously. For example, the variation of each identification symbol group is started with the start of the effect of notifying the target's success / failure determination result, but at the start of the variation, the middle identification symbol group 10gC or the right identification symbol group 10gR It is conceivable to change the special symbol 11 together with a plurality of types of identification symbols 10 included in any of them.

  In this case, when the special symbol 11 included in the middle identification symbol group 10gC or the right identification symbol group 10gR has a pseudo stop result (successful ending), a unit effect occurs, and the pseudo stop does not occur (loss result) It is preferable that the unit effect is not generated when it becomes. That is, it can be considered that whether the pseudo stop of the special symbol 11 included in the identification symbol group succeeds is linked with the presence / absence of generation of unit effect (this is also the presence / absence of card acquisition in this embodiment) .

  Here, when the special symbol 11 is variably displayed so as to be included in the right identification symbol group 10gR and when the special symbol 11 is variably displayed so as to be included in the middle identification symbol group 10gC, the special symbol 11 is displayed. The probability of false stop, that is, the probability of success is set differently. The probability of success will be set appropriately. In the present embodiment, when the right identification symbol group 10gR is variably displayed so that the special symbol 11 is included, the success outcome is set with a probability of less than 100%, while the middle identification symbol group 10gC In the case where the special symbol 11 is displayed so as to be included in the symbol, it is set to be a successful outcome with a probability of 100%. That is, when the special symbol 11 is included in the middle identification symbol group 10gC, it is determined that the unit effect is generated. Since the occurrence of the unit effect also leads to the card acquisition, it means that it is decided that the card acquisition (two card acquisition in this embodiment) will occur.

  Although the special symbol 11 is not displayed when the variation of each identification symbol group is started, the special symbol 11 may be displayed on the way (before the false stop). In addition, the special symbol 11 may be displayed immediately before the pseudo stop. That is, as the timing at which the special symbol 11 may be displayed, a timing other than the fluctuation start time may be set.

  Further, it may be configured to generate card acquisition associated with pre-read continuous effect which is a continuous effect different from the pseudo continuous effect. Although the detailed explanation is omitted since the pre-reading continuous effect itself is known, the pre-reading continuous effect changes the identification symbols 10 (one identification symbol 10 selected from each identification symbol group) stops and starts the fluctuation again The unit effect is repeated one or more times. That is, it is an effect using the thing (the above-mentioned propriety judgment result) in which the notification of the propriety judgment result is completed earlier than the propriety judgment result which becomes an object of the pre-reading continuation production. Assuming that the combination of the identification symbols 10 (the combination of the identification symbols 10 indicating that they are lost) indicating the result of the above judgment is “pre-reading combination”, the “pseudo stop combination” is replaced with “pre-reading combination” and similar Technical ideas can be applied. The player can grasp that the pre-reading effect is generated by the special symbol 11 being included in the symbols constituting the “pre-reading combination”.

  As described above, the "identification symbol start trigger" is that a card is acquired triggered by the generation of a unit effect that constitutes a continuous effect such as a pseudo continuous effect or a pre-reading continuous effect. When a card is acquired by the “identification symbol start trigger”, not only the expectation increase due to the acquisition of a new card, but also the increase in expectation due to the generation of unit effects constituting the continuous effect is shown .

  In addition, when a card is acquired by "identification symbol start trigger", it is determined by the lottery based on the result of the pass / fail judgment of the target each time whether the card becomes a normal card 30 or a rare card 31 (target The lottery mode is such that the rare card 31 is more likely to appear when the result of the success or failure of the is a big hit. A configuration may be set in which there is a high probability that the rare card 31 is obtained, or an effect mode or the like in which it is determined that the rare card 31 is to be obtained. For example, depending on the position (left, middle, right) at which the special symbol 11 is displayed, the probability that the acquired card becomes the rare card 31 may be different.

1-2-2) Other triggers Various triggers can be set as triggers other than "identification symbol start trigger". The acquisition of the card may occur suddenly (the card is suddenly acquired), or an effect of whether to acquire the card may be generated. In this embodiment, a sub-effect of whether or not to acquire a card is executed near the outer edge of the display area 911, and the card is obtained when the end of the effect results in a successful ending (a result advantageous to the player). (See FIGS. 10 and 11/12 and 13). The specific aspect of the sub-representation may be any. Multiple types of sub effects may be set.

  When card acquisition triggered by a sub-effect occurs, it is set so as to determine whether the card to be acquired will be the normal card 30 or the rare card 31 according to the occurrence timing of the sub-effect. Specifically, when the successful end of the sub-representation occurs before the predetermined event occurs, the card acquired with that trigger is the normal card 30 (see FIGS. 10 and 11). On the other hand, when the successful end of the sub-effect occurs later than the occurrence of the predetermined event, the card acquired with that event is the rare card 31 (see FIGS. 12 and 13). That is, it is set so that whether the timing at which the sub-effect occurs is before or after the predetermined event is a factor that determines the type of card.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, an effect effect of card acquisition occurs in response to a specific effect of sub-effect, but the effect effect is the acquisition of the normal card 30 according to the presence or absence of a predetermined event. It is determined whether to be the first effect presentation or the second effect presentation of acquisition of the rare card 31. The first action effect and the second action effect include common effect elements of “(the acquisition of) a card”.

  The "predetermined event" may be any event as long as it may occur in a series of effects informing the result of determination of the object. It may be an event that always occurs, or an event that may not occur. In the present embodiment, the establishment of a known “reach state” (see FIG. 12A) is set as the occurrence of a predetermined event. The reach state is a state where the possibility of becoming a big hit still remains when the identification symbol 10 is selected from a part of a plurality of identification symbol groups and the identification symbol 10 is stopped or pseudo-stopped. In this embodiment, it refers to a state in which the identification symbols 10 which are selected from the left identification symbol group 10gL and the right identification symbol group 10gR which are stopped first and which are stopped or pseudo-stopped are the same symbol. Whether or not the reach state is established can be said to be a large branch point in terms of whether or not the result of the determination of the success or failure will be a big hit, which is one of the things the player pays attention to. Therefore, it is possible to make an effect aspect that is easy to understand by setting the "establishment of the reach state" as a branch point of what kind of a card to be acquired is.

In the present embodiment, the type of card is determined depending on whether the time when the “end” (successful end) of the sub-effect occurs is before or after the occurrence of the predetermined event. The type of card may be determined depending on whether the “start” time is before or after the occurrence of a predetermined event.

  Further, the setting may be reverse to that of the present embodiment, that is, the rare card 31 if it is before the occurrence of a predetermined event, and the normal card 30 if it is after. However, if what is set as the predetermined event is an event showing an increase in the expectation (the establishment of the reach state can be said to be an event showing an increase in the expectation), the same setting as in this embodiment It is preferable to do. It is more natural for the player to recognize the card generated after the expectation is raised by the occurrence of the predetermined event, and it is more natural to use the rare card 31 with a higher expectation according to it. It can be said that the setting is easy.

  In addition, even when the successful end of the sub-effect occurs before the occurrence of the predetermined event, the rare card 31 may be acquired. Similarly, the normal card 30 may be acquired even if a successful end of the sub-effect occurs after the occurrence of the predetermined event. That is, the normal card 30 is likely to be generated if the occurrence of the successful ending of the sub-representation precedes the occurrence of the predetermined event, and the rare card is the subsequent occurrence of the successful ending of the sub-representation after the predetermined event. A setting in which 31 is likely to occur (a setting in which the type of card obtained according to the occurrence of a predetermined event is not uniquely determined) may be used.

  In the present embodiment, as another trigger for obtaining a card, a trigger for obtaining details by card increase effect described later is also set.

  Assuming that the continuous effect is a first specific effect, and the card effect is a second specific effect, the first specific effect is an expectation degree by the number of occurrences of the “first unit effect” of reactivation after the identification symbol 10 stop or pseudo stop. It can be said that it is an effect to be shown, and the card effect is an effect showing an expectation degree by the number of occurrences of the "second unit effect" of acquisition of a card. And while it can be said that the occurrence of the first unit effect necessarily leads to the occurrence of the second unit effect, the second unit effect occurs even when the first unit effect does not occur (in this embodiment, the sub It can be said that the second unit effect is generated with the effect. The second unit effect accompanying the occurrence of the first unit effect is different from the second unit effect that occurs without the occurrence of the first unit effect in that a plurality of cards (suggested images) may be displayed ( It can be said that the card (suggestion image) displayed with one sub effect is one.

1-3) Effect of Rare Card The rare card 31 suggests that the probability of the target's judgment result becoming a jackpot is higher than when the normal card 30 is acquired. In addition, when the rare card 31 is acquired, the following operation (rendering effect) which does not occur in the acquisition of the normal card 30 is brought about.

1-3-1) Card increase effect generation action When the rare card 31 is acquired (when a specific effect that the rare card 31 is acquired is generated), a card increase effect (see FIGS. 14 to 16) is generated Sometimes. The card increase effect is an effect capable of acquiring a plurality of cards through the effect (from the start of the effect to the end). In the present embodiment, an effect of increasing the number of cards named “card disorderly dance” is generated (see FIG. 14B). Basically, it can be said that the effect is pleasing to the player in that there is a possibility that the number of cards increasing one by one increases at a time by the generation of the main effect. If a card effect is specified as a specific effect, and a card shown to represent the degree of expectation in the effect is an effect element (usually, the card 30 is a first element, and the rare card 31 is a second element), the second element is indicated. At times, there is a possibility that "effect element increase effect" in which a plurality of effect elements are newly displayed may occur. In the present embodiment, it is determined that a plurality of cards are newly acquired (two or more cards are acquired) when the card increase effect occurs, but there is also a possibility that one card can be newly acquired. It may be a setting.

  The specific aspect of the card increase presentation may be any. In the present embodiment, the operation means 92 provided in the gaming machine 1 (in the present embodiment, it is a push button, but the specific configuration etc. can be appropriately changed as long as the player can operate it. A sensor for detecting the hand or the like of the person may be provided, and the detection of the hand or the like of the player may be regarded as the operation of the operation means. (See FIG. 15 (a)), and cards are gradually acquired according to the operation (see FIGS. 15 (b) and 16 (a)). The number of cards to be increased is determined in advance by the determination lottery of the effect mode depending on whether the object's success or failure judgment result is a big hit or not. Therefore, even if the player performs the operation of the operation means 92 sufficiently within the operation effective time during which the operation of the operation means 92 is effective, cards more than the determined number are not obtained. In addition, even if the operation of the operation means 92 is not sufficiently performed, a result indicating that the number of cards determined in advance is eventually increased (after the operation effective time has elapsed) is shown. Be

  There is a possibility that the card newly obtained in the card increase effect may be the normal card 30 (see FIG. 15B) or may be the rare card 31 (see FIG. 16A). That is, there is a possibility that a rare card 31 is newly obtained. When the rare card 31 is newly acquired, the card increase effect may occur again based on the fact that the rare card 31 is acquired. That is, the acquisition of the rare card 31 in the card increase effect may lead to the card increase effect again.

  Further, in the case where the additional card effect is not generated despite the acquisition of the rare card 31, it is set such that one of the after-mentioned opportunity effects is always generated. It can be understood that the card increase effect is one of the opportunity effects. As will be described later in detail, the acquisition of the rare card 31 determines the occurrence of at least one occasion effect. Therefore, when the card increase effect is not generated as the opportunity effect when the rare card 31 is acquired, one of the opportunity effect different from the card increase effect is generated.

1-3-2) Opportunity effect generation action The acquisition of the rare card 31 suggests the subsequent occurrence of opportunity effect. Specifically, when a rare card 31 is obtained (when a specific effect that the rare card 31 is obtained occurs), in a series of effects notifying the result of the object's success or failure, notification of the result of the object's success or failure At least one of the one or more opportunistic effects is always generated before the completion of the. When a plurality of rare cards 31 are obtained, the same number of chance effects are set to be generated.

  The opportunistic effect is suggested to have increased the probability that the hit / fail judgment result of the object will be a jackpot due to the occurrence. The type of opportunity presentation will be described later. The opportunity effect in the present embodiment may occur even when the rare card 31 is not acquired. As described above, if acquisition of the rare card 31 promises the subsequent occurrence of the opportunity presentation, the presentation giving the player an expectation as to what kind of opportunity presentation will occur after the occurrence of the rare card 31. It can be an aspect.

  As the opportunity effect, the following may be considered in addition to the card increase effect described above. However, not all of the effects described below have to be set as opportunity effects. Only a part of the effects may be set as the opportunity effect. In addition, effects other than the effects described below may be set as the opportunity effect.

-Design change effect (see Figure 17)
The identification symbol 10 stopped or pseudo-stopped in order to indicate the result of the determination results in an identification symbol 10 having a value element having a higher value than that of the identification symbol 10 stopped or pseudo-stopped. As described above, in the present embodiment, the first type identification symbol 10A (the lowest value), the second type identification symbol 10B, the third type identification symbol 10C (the most expensive value), the symbol change effect Is that the first type identification symbol 10A that has been temporarily stopped or pseudo stopped changes to the second type identification symbol 10B or the third type identification symbol 10C, and the second type identification symbol 10B changes to the third type identification symbol 10C It is.

  The timing at which the symbol change effect occurs is set after the establishment of the "reach state". More specifically, it is an effect that may occur after the establishment of the "reach state", and after the occurrence of the so-called "super reach effect" indicating that the probability of becoming a big hit is increased by the occurrence of the effect. It is set. That is, in the case where the identification symbol 10 (in the present embodiment, the identification symbol on the left and the identification symbol on the right) which has been stopped or pseudo-stopped to build the reach state is the first type identification symbol 10A or the second type identification symbol 10B In addition, the identification symbol 10 changes to a symbol having a more expensive value element. Therefore, it can be said that the symbol change effect is an effect (indicating as if it were enhanced) indicating that the profit obtained by the player is high when the jackpot is achieved. A plurality of types of super reach effects may be set. Moreover, it is good also as a setting which may generate | occur | produce symbol change production only in some among several types of super reach production.

  In addition, in this embodiment, after super reach production | presentation generate | occur | produces, only the part of the "number" of the identification symbol 10 which comprises a reach state is displayed. Since the value of the identification symbol 10 is indicated by the "number" portion of each symbol, there is no problem even if the display of the "character" portion is excluded. Therefore, the change of the symbol aspect will occur as the change of the part of "number". However, even after the super reach effect is generated, it may be displayed as "number + character", and when the aspect of the symbol changes, both parts may be changed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the form (outer shape) of the symbol is changed such that the identification symbol 10 of “2” changes to “3” or “7”, but the color tone of the symbol of “2” It is good also as a production | presentation aspect which shows that the value of the identification pattern 10 increased by changing "blue" (normal color tone) which is these into "red" and "gold". That is, it may be an effect aspect in which only the value element changes.

  Also, when a symbol change effect occurs, the symbol after the change may be set to be the highest value symbol. That is, when a symbol change effect occurs, the symbol after change must be the third symbol identification symbol 10C regardless of whether the symbol before change is the first type identification symbol 10A or the second type identification symbol 10B. May be set as In this way, it is possible to increase the value of the symbol change effect.

  When a symbol change effect occurs, the magnitude of the change may be set to be limited to one step. That is, when a symbol change effect occurs, when the symbol before change is the first type identification symbol 10A, the symbol after change is always the second type identification symbol 10B, and the symbol before change is the second type identification symbol 10B In some cases, the symbol after change may be set to be the third type identification symbol 10C. In this way, it is possible to construct an effect form in which the occurrence of a plurality of symbol change effects is expected.

-Applicable pending change effect (see Figure 18)
The mode of the corresponding hold display 201 is changed to a mode having a higher degree of expectation. In other words, it is an effect that indicates that the probability of the target's success or failure judgment becoming a jackpot has increased. As described above, the mode of the corresponding hold display 201 in the present embodiment includes the normal mode 20n and three types of special modes (first special mode 21s to third special mode 23s). Due to the occurrence of the corresponding hold change presentation, it changes to a more desirable aspect preferable to the player than the present aspect. A mode change (for example, a change from the first special mode 21s to the third special mode 23s) may be generated that results in a plurality of stages of expectation improvement.

  In the present embodiment, the corresponding on-hold change effect generated as the opportunity effect necessarily changes the mode of the on-the-off display 201. That is, the end of the mode of the corresponding hold display 201 does not change (that is, the process ends with only "scramble" that the mode may change) is not set as the opportunity effect. However, it may be set that an effect that results in the mode of the corresponding hold display 201 not changing may occur separately from the opportunistic effect.

・ On-hold change production (refer to Figure 19)
The mode of the hold display 20 changes to a mode with a higher degree of expectation. As described above, the aspect of the hold display 20 in the present embodiment includes the normal aspect 20 n and three types of special aspects (first special aspect 21 s to third special aspect 23 s). Due to the occurrence of the on-hold change presentation, it changes to a more desirable aspect preferable to the player than the present aspect. There may be a plurality of stage changes (for example, a change from the first special mode 21s to the third special mode 23s).

  The on-hold change effect changes the mode of the “on-hold display 20”, and therefore does not indicate that the probability that the object's judgment result of the pass / fail judgment will be a jackpot has increased. This indicates that the probability that the success / failure determination result to be notified later than the target's success / failure determination result will be a jackpot has increased. That is, although the card effect is executed as part of a series of effects for notifying an object's success or failure determination result, there is a pending change effect as an opportunity effect that is triggered by the acquisition of the rare card 31. It can be said that the above-mentioned pending change presentation is significantly different from the above-mentioned pending change presentation in that it suggests the degree of expectation of the presentation of the presentation of the result of the judgment of acceptance after the notification of the result of judgment of the object is completed.

  In the present embodiment, the on-hold change effect generated as the chance effect effect necessarily changes the mode of the on-hold display 20. That is, the end of the form of the hold display 20 does not change (that is, it ends with only "scramble" that the form may change) is not set as the opportunity effect. However, it may be set as a setting that may be generated separately from the opportunistic effect, with an effect that results in the aspect of the pending display 20 not changing.

· Stump production (see Figure 20)
It is an effect that may occur at a predetermined timing. Specifically, it is an effect that may or may not occur at the predetermined timing, and when it occurs, it is indicated that the expectation for the target's success or failure judgment result to be a big win is increased . As a sudden effect of this type, a cut-in effect or the like can be illustrated in which an image (inserted image 40) such as a character is inserted at a specific timing during so-called super reach effect so as to overlap the image (video) of the effect. The degree of expectation of the super reach effect differs depending on the presence or absence of the insertion image 40.

  If the player is aware of the timing at which the sudden rendering is likely to occur, when the rare card 31 is acquired, the occurrence of the sudden rendering at the timing is expected.

  A plurality of types of sudden effects occurring at specific timings may be set. For example, it is assumed that a first sudden effect and a second sudden effect having different effect modes are set as the sudden effect. The first sudden effect may be generated at the specific timing as an opportunity effect triggered by the acquisition of the rare card 31, or the second sudden effect may be generated. A difference in the degree of expectation may be set for each sudden presentation. With such a configuration, not only generation of a sudden effect at a specific timing, but also a type of generated sudden effect can be noticed.

Insertion effect (see FIG. 22 and FIG. 23)
It is an effect that occurs at a predetermined timing. The sudden presentation effect is different from the fact that the insertion effect always occurs at a certain timing, while the sudden presentation may or may not occur at a certain timing. This kind of insertion effect can be exemplified by a cut-in effect or the like in which a predetermined image (inserted image 40) is inserted so as to be superimposed on the image (video) of the effect at a specific timing during so-called super reach effect. In addition, the player is urged to operate the operation means 92 such as a push button (see FIG. 22B), and the inserted image 40 is displayed upon detection of the operation (see FIG. 23). it can. That is, the effect may be automatically generated, or may be an effect generated due to the action of the player. In the case of the effect generated due to the player's action, the timing at which the insertion effect occurs is not strictly the same each time since the timing at which the player performs the action changes each time .

  A plurality of types of modes are set as presentation modes that can be generated as the insertion stage. In the present embodiment, three modes of a first insertion image 41, a second insertion image 42, and a third insertion image 43 are set as images to be inserted when an insertion effect is generated (see FIG. 21). Each image has a different degree of expectation when it occurs. In the present embodiment, the first insertion image 41 is the lowest, and the third insertion image 43 is the highest. In addition, the difference in the aspect of each image may be any as long as the player can distinguish. For example, a difference is set in the color tone of the image displayed as each effect.

  When the insertion effect is generated as the opportunity effect, the image to be inserted as the insertion effect is always configured to be the third insertion image 43 (see FIG. 23). That is, the insertion effect of the aspect with the highest degree of expectation occurs. With such a configuration, when the rare card 31 is obtained, the player is expected to generate a rendering mode with the highest degree of expectation at the timing when the insertion rendering occurs.

  Note that, as in the present embodiment, it is an example that the insertion effect of the aspect having the highest degree of expectation is generated as the opportunity effect. As opportunity presentation, it may be set so that any of the insertion effects of a plurality of types of aspects with high expectation occur (so that the insertion presentation of the aspect with the lowest expectation does not occur). According to the present embodiment, any one of the second insertion image 42 and the third insertion image 43 excluding the first insertion image 41 having the lowest degree of expectation may be set to be displayed. .

・ Insertion change effect (refer to FIG. 24 and FIG. 25)
It is an effect that the mode of the above-mentioned insertion effect changes. Specifically, after any of the plurality of types of insertion effects has been performed once (see FIG. 25A), it is possible to replace the high-probability insertion effects in which the result of the pass / fail judgment will be successful. It is executed (see FIG. 25 (b)). As described above, if three modes of the first insertion image 41, the second insertion image 42, and the third insertion image 43 are set as images to be inserted at the time of the insertion effect, the first insertion image 41 is temporarily once After being displayed, a mode in which the second inserted image 42 or the third inserted image 43 is displayed in place of it. After the second inserted image 42 is displayed once, the third inserted image 43 is displayed in place of it. The displayed mode can be implemented as an insertion change effect. With such a configuration, when the rare card 31 is obtained, the player is expected to change the mode of the insertion effect that has been executed once to a mode with a higher degree of expectation.

  In the case where the insertion change effect is executed as the opportunity effect, the change mode may be limited to a specific mode. For example, the mode of the insertion effect to be executed later may be set to improve only one step from the mode of the insertion effect to be executed first. According to this configuration, the aspect of the insertion effect to be executed first is also important, and therefore, it is possible to focus attention on what the insertion effect to be executed first becomes.

· Reverse production (see Fig. 26 and Fig. 27)
After pseudo-stopping the identification symbol 10 indicating the result of the judgment in a manner indicating that the result of the judgment is disapproval (see FIG. 26), it actually indicates that the result of the judgment of the success or failure was the jackpot (see FIG. 27) ) It is an effect. In other words, it is an effect that indicates to the player that it is a big hit after that, if the result of the success or failure judgment is a big hit, it is regarded as a loss. In a super reach effect where the ally character and the enemy character win a battle when the ally character and the enemy character win a jackpot, the ally character looks as if the ally character is defeated (see FIG. 26A), A series of presentation modes can be illustrated such as that the ally character returns and wins in reverse (see FIG. 27A). Since “disengagement” is exemplarily shown, the identification symbol 10 is pseudo-stopped in the middle in a combination indicating disengaging (see FIG. 26B). Thereafter, after generating an effect (see FIG. 27 (a)) as if the said out-of-focus notification was a sham, finally, the identification symbol 10 is stopped (decidively stopped) in a combination showing a big hit (figure) 27 (b)).

  As described above, when the reverse effect is set as one of the opportunity effects, when the specific effect occurs, the reverse effect occurs when the opportunity effect does not occur until the end (until the reverse effect occurs). Then, it is informed that the success or failure judgment result is a win. In other words, the reverse effect is the effect that may occur at the end, and it is pleasing to the player that the jackpot will be determined when it occurs. Therefore, when the specific effect occurs, the player does not generate the opportunity effect. A highly entertaining game characteristic of wishing is constructed.

  In addition, the reverse effect may be set to be generated only when it is notified that the success / failure determination result is a release after a predetermined condition is satisfied. For example, it can be considered that the setting can be made only when it is informed that the success or failure judgment result is out after the establishment of the reach state. Further, as in the example shown in FIGS. 26 and 27, it may be considered that the setting can be generated only when it is notified that the result of the determination of acceptance is a loss through so-called super reach effect.

1-3-3) Special effect generation effect Special effect (FIG. 28 (b) may occur only when a plurality of (two in this embodiment) rare cards 31 are acquired (see FIG. 28 (a)) See) is set. If the effect for which the rare card 31 is acquired is a specific effect, it can be said that the special effect is an effect that occurs only when a plurality of specific effects occur. In addition, if the effect for which the normal card 30 is obtained is the normal effect, the specific effects of the characters A to G include effect elements common to the normal effects of the characters A to G in terms of “character” and “card”. It can be said that it is The special effect is set as one of so-called super reach effects, and the result of the effect indicates the result of the judgment of the object. In other words, if the target's success or failure judgment result is a jackpot, a desirable ending form for the player (including a reverse ending that is deemed to be a loss and indicated to be a jackpot) is obtained, and if it is a loss, the game is played This is an end result that is undesirable for the disabled. The specific aspect of the special rendering may be any. Moreover, multiple types of special effects with different modes may be set.

  In the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, one or more types of effects (super reach effect different from the special effect, hereinafter referred to as “another effect”) indicating the result of determination of success or failure by the ending It is feasible. Special effects are considered to have a higher degree of expectation when they occur than all other effects. That is, among the effects for which the success or failure judgment result is indicated by the ending, the special effect is considered to have the highest expectation when it occurs. As described above, even if one rare card 31 produces an opportunity effect, the special effect that may occur due to the acquisition of the two rare cards 31 is considered to be valuable for the player. Is preferred.

1-3-4) Handling of rare cards As described in 1-3-1) and 1-3-2), the acquisition of rare cards 31 generates any of the opportunistic effects (including card increase effects). Although this is determined, in the present embodiment, even if the occasion effect is generated, the rare card 31 which is the base for generating it is set to remain as it is. The same is true for special effects. The number of cards acquired through a series of effects that notify the target's success or failure judgment result, and the number of rare cards 31 included in the acquired cards, are those that indicate the degree of expectation, so leaving them as they are The expectation is indicated to the player in an easy-to-understand manner. That is, the rare card 31 is set to "not digested". As described in the above 1-3-3), although acquisition of a plurality of rare cards 31 is considered as a condition for generating special effects, the rare cards 31 that have triggered opportunity generation are left as they are. By setting the rare card 31 that has triggered the effect generation to be combined with another rare card 31, it is set that the special effect can be triggered. For example, when two rare cards 31 are acquired, opportunity rendition is generated triggered by the acquisition of each rare card 31 (two opportunity renditions occur), and acquisition of the two rare cards 31 is triggered. Special effects may occur.

  At the time of occurrence of chance rendition or special rendition, rendition such as indicating that the acquisition of the rare card 31 has become a trigger for the occurrence of these renditions should be executed. For example, after displaying the rare card 31 which is the trigger of the effect generation in a mode different from a normal mode or the like, an opportunity effect or a special effect is generated. For example, the display is enlarged or lighted to stand out. As shown in FIG. 14B and the like, in the present embodiment, the rare card 31 serving as a trigger is lit. In addition, as shown in FIG. 17 (b) etc., an image that links a rare card 31 to be a trigger to a generated effect depending on the effect (in FIG. 17, FIG. 18 and FIG. A linear image is displayed to associate the identification symbol 10 to be displayed, the corresponding hold display 201, and the hold display 20). As a result, it becomes easy for the player to grasp that the rare card 31 is a trigger for the occurrence of the occasion effect or the special effect.

  However, unlike the present embodiment, even when a chance effect is generated, the rare card 31 which is the basis for generating it is changed to the normal card 30 (it is changed to the normal card 30 of the same character). Good. That is, as a setting that the rare card 31 is changed to a normal card 30 as a result of being “digested” as a result of the idea that “rare card 31 causing generation of occasional effect is“ digested (used) ”is recalled. It is also good. If configured in this way, it is possible to show the player in an easy-to-understand manner whether the opportunity effect based on the rare card 31 has already occurred. Further, the rare card 31 which is the basis of the occurrence of the chance effect may be set to disappear (disappear without changing to the normal card 30). As described above, when the rare card 31 is set to be "digested", only the rare card 31 that has not been used for generating the occasional effect may be used for generating the special effect.

  For example, when three rare cards 31 are acquired, if one rare card 31 is used as a trigger for the generation of one occasional effect, there is a possibility that a special effect is generated by the remaining two rare cards 31. is there. However, if each of the two or more rare cards 31 is used as a trigger for the occurrence of the occasional effect, the possibility of the occurrence of the special effect disappears.

  Further, for example, when one rare card 31 is acquired, the occurrence of the opportunity effect may be determined, and when a plurality of rare cards 31 is acquired, the generation of the special effect may be determined. That is, depending on whether one or a plurality of rare cards 31 can be acquired, it may be set to determine whether a chance effect is generated or a special effect is generated.

  Hereinafter, modifications of the gaming machine 1 according to the above embodiment will be described. In addition, it is good also as a structure which applied combining the modification demonstrated below.

○ 1st modification (card type change production)
After the normal card 30 is acquired, a card type change effect may be generated in which the card changes to the rare card 31. Since it can be said that the acquisition of the rare card 31 is a transition to an advantageous situation, it can be said that it is a pleasing presentation for the player.

  However, the card type change effect is set such that only a change from a certain normal card 30 to the rare card 31 of the same character occurs. That is, one normal card 30 does not change to the rare card 31 of another character.

  The specific aspect of the card type change presentation may be any. The action image 50 is displayed in the display area 911, and the action image 50 acts on the already acquired normal card 30 (see FIG. 29A), and the normal card 30 is changed to the rare card 31 (FIG. b) Refer to the presentation aspect such as can be illustrated. Preferably, the type of the card type change presentation is determined for each character. According to the above embodiment, it is preferable that the card type change effect corresponding to each of the characters A to G is set (seven card type change effects are set). In this way, it is possible to clearly show which card is changing. Further, depending on the type of the card type change effect, the probability that a change to the rare card 31 occurs (probability that results in an advantageous outcome for the player) may be set to be different. However, this does not necessarily mean that setting is made such that the change to the rare card 31 is determined when the card type change effect occurs.

○ 2nd modification (design aspect change production)
In order to make it easy to understand the type of the already acquired card, it is set such that a symbol form change effect is generated to change the aspect of the identification symbol 10 of the character corresponding to the already acquired card. Specifically, for the sub-element part 102 which is a character part of each identification symbol 10, the normal aspect 102a and the special aspect 102b are set (see FIG. 30), and the identification symbol 10 corresponding to the already acquired card is As for the character part of the character part, the special part 102 b is used. On the other hand, the character portion of the identification symbol 10 corresponding to the card not acquired yet is maintained in the mode 102a. If the card effect is a specific effect and the card displayed at the time of the specific effect is an effect image, only the pattern of the identification symbol 10 corresponding to the effect image to be displayed is changed. In particular, in the present embodiment, it is important to indicate which identification symbol 10 the type of the already acquired card corresponds to, since the generation of the continuous effect is associated with the type of the card to be acquired. It is.

  When no card is obtained at all, the character portions of all the identification symbols 10 are in the normal mode 102a (see FIG. 31 (a)). Thereafter, when a card corresponding to a part of characters is acquired, only the character portion of the identification symbol 10 corresponding to the part of characters is changed to the special aspect 102b (see FIG. 31 (b)). . In this manner, only a part of the identification symbols 10 (target identification symbols) changes among the plurality of identification symbols 10 constituting each identification symbol group (reel), and the aspect is the other identification symbols 10 A maintained state (a state in which the same manner as the start of fluctuation is maintained) can occur.

  In the present example, the part that changes in response to the acquisition of the card is only the character part (sub element part 102). That is, the part of the number (main element part 101) does not change upon acquisition of the card. As described above, when the part of the number is maintained, it is possible to suppress the difficulty of understanding the result of the determination of success or failure, the presence or absence of the reach state, and the like. However, it does not necessarily deny that it is set as the structure which the aspect of the whole symbol including the main element part 101 changes.

  It is preferable that the generation timing of the pattern aspect change effect be simultaneous with or immediately after the card is acquired (the image of the card is displayed). By generating at such timing, it is possible to make it easy to understand which identification symbol 10 the card of the character corresponding to is acquired.

Third Modified Example Although it has been described that the cards acquired in the card effect in the above embodiment are two types of the normal card 30 and the rare card 31, three or more types of cards may be set. For example, while the rare card 31 in the above-described embodiment is intended to increase the degree of expectation itself and also to be a trigger for the occurrence of an opportunistic effect, such a rare card 31 has The functions may be divided and set. That is, the first rare card whose height of the degree of expectation when acquired is higher than that of the normal card 30, and the second rare card that is a trigger for the occurrence of the chance effect may be set.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described in detail, this invention is not limited at all to the said embodiment, A various change is possible in the range which does not deviate from the summary of this invention.
