It is the figure which showed typically the display which the production design (sword) which moves to the movable body which is located in production position is displayed. It is the figure which shows the state where the movable body which is located in the production position and the emblem of the production design are integrated. It is the figure which shows the state where the movable body and the emblem of the production design which are combined in the production position are formed as if they were combined.

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. In addition, in FIG. 1, a frame which is not related to the present invention, such as a frame of the gaming machine 1, a launching device for launching a game ball (corresponding to a game medium in the present invention), a lower plate and an upper plate for storing the game balls. The components of the machine 1 are omitted. A structure similar to that of a known game machine can be applied to these.

The game machine 1 includes a game board 90. The game board 90 is formed by a substantially square plywood board, and a strip-shaped guide rail 903 made of a thin metal plate for guiding a game ball shot by the operation of the launching device to the game area 902 has a substantially arc shape. It is provided in.

The game area 902 is provided with a display device 91 (corresponding to display means in the present invention), a first start winning opening 904, a second starting winning opening 905, a big winning opening 906, an out opening 907, and the like. The display device 91 is used for a notification effect and a selection effect described later. The display screen of the display device 91 is visible through an opening 901 formed in the game board 90.

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 when the flowing-down game balls collide. The game ball flowing down in the game area 902 changes into various modes depending on the condition when the game ball collides with the game nail.

In such a gaming machine 1, a game ball is shot toward the game area 902 by operating the launching device. When a game ball flowing down the game area 902 wins a winning opening such as the starting winning openings 904 and 905 and the special winning opening 906, a predetermined number of winning balls are paid out by the payout device.

The jackpot lottery is executed by a win/loss determination means provided on a control board (not shown) triggered by a winning of a game ball to a starting winning opening 904 or 905 (corresponding to a winning area in the present invention). The determination result is stored in a storage unit (not shown) provided on the control board. Other configurations and the like can be applied to those of a known game machine, and therefore description thereof will be omitted.

In the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, a notice effect (first notice effect and second notice effect) for notifying the possibility of a big hit based on whether or not the determination result by the hit determination means is a big hit. It is installed. This notice effect utilizes that the number of hit determination results stored in the storage means is displayed on the display device 91 as the number of identification symbols.

The first notice effect will be described. The storage unit according to the present embodiment can store one notification of the hit/miss judgment result at that time point and a maximum of four hit/miss judgment results (so-called up to four pending) performed thereafter. Therefore, the game ball wins the first start winning opening 904 and the second starting winning opening 905 except for one in which the result of winning/judging determination is notified at that time. However, the judgment of success or failure is not performed with this as a trigger. The win/fail judgment result stored (held) in the storage means other than the notification of the win/fail judgment result at that time is displayed on the display device 91 as a hold identification symbol 10 (so-called hold icon). On the other hand, the notification of the hit/miss determination result at that time may be displayed on the display device 91 as the variation identification symbol 20 (details will be described later).

The number of hit determination results stored in the storage unit is the number of hold identification symbols displayed on the display device 91, except that the hit determination result is notified at that time (the determination result corresponding to the variation identification symbol 20). Matches the number of 10. For example, when four hit/no hit determination results are stored in the storage means, four hold identification symbols 10 are displayed on the display device 91 as shown in FIG. In the present embodiment, the reserved identification symbols 10 are displayed so as to line up along the lower edge of the display device 91. The holding identification symbol 10 of the present embodiment has a form in which a circle and a triangle located inside the circle are combined (hereinafter, the form may be simply referred to as an “emblem”).

Whether it is a big hit or a big hit, when it is decided to execute the first preliminary notice effect when notifying a certain hit determination result, that hit result displayed on the display device 91. The effect symbol 30 that moves toward the hold identification symbol 10 corresponding to the determination result is displayed (see FIG. 3 ). The effect design 30 of the present embodiment is a design depicting a “sword”. A shape (emblem 321) in which a circle and a triangle located inside the circle are combined is drawn on the flange 32 of the “sword”. That is, the effect symbol 30 partially includes a shape (same or similar (including a similar figure)) imitating the above-mentioned holding identification symbol 10.

There are roughly three modes of the first notice effect in the present embodiment.
1) "Sword" which is the effect design 30 that moves toward a certain holding identification symbol 10 is displayed, the "sword" does not stick into the holding identification symbol 10, and the "sword" and the holding identification symbol 10 are integrated. The condition that does not hold (including the condition where a “sword” that is once stuck is removed as shown in FIG. 6)
2) "Sword", which is the effect design 30 that moves toward a certain holding identification pattern 10, is displayed, the "sword" pierces the holding identification pattern 10, and the "sword" and the holding identification pattern 10 are integrated. Mode (see FIG. 4)
3) "Sword" which is the effect design 30 moving toward a certain holding identification pattern 10 is displayed, the "sword" is stuck into the holding identification pattern 10, and the "sword" and the holding identification pattern 10 are integrated. Then, the amount of sticking is gradually increased, and the emblem 321 on the collar 32 of the "sword" is combined with the holding identification pattern 10 which is the emblem itself (see FIG. 5).
There are three.

The probability that the hit/nozzle determination result corresponding to the hold identification symbol 10 is a big hit is highest in the mode of 3), then high in the mode of 2), and lowest in the mode of 1). In the present invention, “integration” is a superordinate concept of “composite”, and it is assumed that “integration” is not established and “synthesis” is not established. That is, when “composite” is established, “integration” is also established.

The aspect of 1) may not be mounted as an effect. However, if the mode of 1) is not installed, the "sword" is stabbed into any of the reserved identification patterns 10 at the time when the effect pattern 30 that is a "sword" is displayed on the display device 91 (at least one Since it is determined that the “sword” sticks into the pending identification pattern 10, the concern about whether or not the “sword” sticks into the reserved identification pattern 10 decreases. That is, in order to enhance the effect, it is preferable that the mode 1) be set. Moreover, after the effect that the aspect of 1) occurs, that is, the "sword" does not pierce the holding identification pattern 10, the "sword" moves toward the holding identification pattern 10 again, and 2) of The aspect or the aspect of 3) may occur. In addition, the possibility that the hit determination result corresponding to the hold identification symbol 10 in which the aspect of 1) has occurred is a big hit, is set to the same degree as the hit determination result corresponding to the hold identification symbol 10 for which this notice effect has not occurred. It should have been done.

The mode of 2) is a mode in which the holding identification symbol 10 is pierced halfway through the blade 31 of the "sword" that is the effect symbol 30, and both symbols are integrated. If the mode of 1) above is set so that it can occur, when the "sword" reaches the holding identification pattern 10, whether or not the "sword" sticks into the holding identification pattern 10 or does not stick There may be a gap in order for the person to gaze.

In the aspect of 3), after the aspect of 2) occurs, it is notified whether or not the possibility of a big hit increases. The amount of sticking of the "sword" which is the effect design 30 is gradually increased, and when it finally reaches the part of the collar 32, the emblem 321 on the collar 32 is combined with the pending identification pattern 10 which is the emblem itself. It When both emblems are combined, there is a state in which only the “sword” that is the effect symbol 30 exists, so in the present embodiment, immediately after both emblems are combined, the combined emblem rotates. That is, the combined emblem is configured to move differently from the emblem (holding identification pattern 10) before being combined. By doing so, the player recognizes that both emblems are combined. That is, it is possible to prevent the hold identification symbol 10 displayed on the display device 91 from being perceived as if it is an effect that is simply replaced with the “sword” that is the effect symbol 30. The “different movement” is not limited to rotation. A change in size or a change in form is also included in the “different movement”.

The control flow of the first notice effect will be briefly described with reference to FIG. 7. This notice production is performed by the sub control board. The sub-control board that controls various effects determines at regular intervals (for example, 10 ms) whether or not it has received a command from the main control board on which the success/failure determination means is mounted, and if so, if so. Executes main command analysis processing that analyzes and processes commands. As a part of the main command analysis process, control of the first notice effect is performed.

The sub control board determines whether or not a command has been received from the main control board (S1), and if the command has been received, determines whether or not the command is a reserved ball number command (S2). If it is not the number of reserved balls command, it is determined whether or not it is a start mouth winning command (S3). The start-up winning command is a command that is received together with the result of winning/judging determination based on that when it is detected that the game ball has won the first starting winning opening 904 or the second starting winning opening 905. When this command is received (S3 "Yes"), the hold prefetch scenario lottery process is performed (S4), and it is determined whether or not to execute the first notice effect. That is, the hold prefetch scenario lottery process is a process of determining whether or not the condition for executing the first notice effect is satisfied.

Specifically, in the hold prefetch scenario lottery process, if the hit determination result is a big hit, whether or not to execute the first notice effect based on the jackpot notice effect table corresponding to the jackpot, the first notice effect is executed. In that case, the mode is determined. If the hit/miss determination result is off, whether or not to execute the first announcement effect based on the deviation notice effect table corresponding to the deviation is determined, and if the first announcement effect is to be executed, the mode is determined. The configurations of both tables can be set as appropriate, but as described above, the mode of 2) and the mode of 3) are easier to select when the result of the hit/miss determination is a big hit. Is configured to.

After completion of the hold prefetch scenario lottery process, another prefetch lottery process (toward a notification effect of a certain hit/miss judgment result, a lottery of a lookahead effect that uses a notification effect of a hit/miss judgment result earlier than that). The effect of changing the color of the background displayed in is included) is performed (S5). After completion of this hold prefetch scenario lottery process, or when it is determined that the starting mouth winning command is not received in S3 (S3 "No"), the command other than the reserved ball number command and the starting mouth winning command is mainly executed. When it is received from the control board, the process corresponding to the command is executed (S9), and the main command analysis process ends.

On the other hand, in S2, when it is determined that the command for the number of holding balls is received (S3 “Yes”), the number of holding balls displayed on the display device 91 at that time (that is, the number of holding identification symbols 10). It is judged whether or not the number of reserved balls is larger than that of () (S6). Note that the number of reserved balls is a command related to the number of reserved balls at that time (the number of hit/miss judgment results that have not been notified yet). Therefore, if the number of holding balls command is more than the number of holding balls (that is, the number of holding identification symbols 10) displayed on the display device 91 at that time (S6 “Yes”), a new game ball is won. The hold prefetch scenario reflecting the above is displayed on the display device 91. In other words, when it is determined in the hold prefetch scenario lottery process of S4 described above, when a new game ball is won, it is determined that the effect according to any one of the above modes is generated with respect to the identification display corresponding to the win/no win determination result. To reflect it on the display device 91 (S7). That is, the effect design 30 (“sword”) is displayed, and the effect of any one of the above 1) to 3) is executed. It should be noted that the first notice effect does not have to be performed immediately after the hold identification symbol 10 corresponding to a certain hit/miss determination result is displayed. For example, when the holding identification symbol 10 corresponding to a certain hit/miss determination result is displayed as the fourth holding symbol, the first notice effect is not suddenly executed for the holding identification symbol 10, but the symbol is three. The first notice effect may be executed for the symbol when the process shifts to the first to the first hold identification symbol 10. In the hold prefetch scenario lottery process of S4, not only the mode of the first notice effect, but also the timing at which the first notice effect is executed is thus drawn, and therefore the hold prefetch scenario reflection process selects in accordance with the timing. A signal is sent to the display device 91 so that the effect of the selected mode is executed.

In the above S6, when it is determined that the number of holding balls command is not more than the number of holding balls (that is, the number of holding identification symbols 10) displayed on the display device 91 at that time (S6 “No”), the holding is performed. A prefetch scenario progress process is performed (S8). This process is a process of shifting (reducing) the hold identification symbol 10 to the left in accordance with the fact that the hold is decreased one by one as the result of the hit determination is notified. In addition, when performing the process, for one of the holding identification symbols 10, if the effect of the above 2) or 3) is being performed (when the "sword" and the holding identification symbol 10 are integrated) In the case where the “sword” emblem 321 and the hold identification symbol 10 are combined), the hold identification symbol 10 is shifted to the left while maintaining the state.

If a command other than the hold ball count command or the starting mouth winning command is received from the main control board through the hold prefetch scenario reflection processing or the hold prefetch scenario progress processing, the processing corresponding to the command is executed. (S9), the main command analysis process ends.

The first notice effect is executed in such a flow. The flow of the main command analysis processing is merely an example, and can be changed as appropriate.

In the present notice production, when the aspect of 2) and the aspect of 3) are executed, not only one effect symbol 30 (that is, one "sword") but also a plurality of effect symbols 30 and the hold identification symbol 10 In some cases, the emblems 321 of a plurality of effect symbols 30 and the hold identification symbol 10 which is the emblem itself may be combined (see FIG. 8. Note that FIG. 8 shows each emblem of a plurality of effect symbols 30. 321 and the hold identification pattern 10 are shown in a combined state). The possibility of being a big hit when a plurality of effect symbols 30 and the holding identification symbol 10 are integrated is higher than the possibility of being a big hit when one effect symbol 30 and the holding identification symbol 10 are integrated. Is set as follows. Further, the possibility of a big hit when the emblems 321 of the plurality of effect symbols 30 and the hold identification symbol 10 are combined is a big hit when the emblem 321 and the hold identification symbol 10 of one effect symbol 30 are combined. Set to be higher than possible.

The first notice effect may be given to the variation identification symbol 20. That is, when the one hold identification symbol 10 is changed to the variable identification symbol 20, it may be determined whether or not the first notice effect is executed. Specifically, it is as follows. Among the suspended identification symbols 10 displayed on the display device 91, the one for which the win/fail determination is made earliest is changed to the variation identification symbol 20 after the result of the win/fail determination made immediately before that is notified. In the present embodiment, the holding identification symbols 10 displayed on the display device 91 are arranged from the left side in order from the earliest win/loss judgment. Therefore, among the pending identification symbols 10, the one that has been judged to be the earliest is located on the leftmost side. The holding identification symbol 10 located on the leftmost side changes to the variation identification symbol 20. As shown in FIG. 9, in the present embodiment, an image imitating the writer 40 is displayed on the left side of the holding identification pattern 10 located on the leftmost side, and the holding identification pattern 10 located on the leftmost side is this writer. Move above 40. It is assumed that, due to the movement, the suspended identification symbol 10 is changed to the variable identification symbol 20. That is, in the present embodiment, the shape of the design itself does not change at the stage immediately after the pending identification design 10 changes to the variable identification design 20.

When it is determined to execute the first notice effect in notifying the result of judgment whether or not the variation identification symbol 20 located on the upper side of the writer 40 is decided, the movement toward the variation identification symbol 20 is made. “Sword” which is the effect design 30 to be displayed is displayed. By the fact that this “sword” is in any of the above 1) to 3) modes, it is notified that the result of winning/deciding judgment corresponding to the variation identification symbol 20 may be a big hit. That is, they are integrated as shown in FIG. 9 or the emblems are combined as shown in FIG. In the notice production for the variation identification symbol 20, the form and movement of the effect symbol 30 may be different. In addition, a plurality of effect symbols 30 (a plurality of “swords”) may be integrated with the variation identification symbol 20, or the emblems 321 of the plurality of effect symbols 30 and the variation identification symbol 20 that is the emblem itself may be combined. Good.

In the present embodiment, a win/fail judgment result is made by winning a certain game ball, and when the first notice effect is executed for the win/no win determination result, the identification symbol corresponding to the win/loss determination result is the reserved identification symbol 10. At the time when the first notice effect is executed and when the first notice effect is executed when the variation identification symbol 20 is, the possibility of winning or losing the determination result corresponding to the identification symbol is different. Is set. That is, when the hold identification symbol 10 and the effect symbol 30 are integrated when the hold identification symbol 10 is used, when the variable identification symbol 20 is used, the change identification symbol 20 and the effect symbol 30 are integrated. It is more likely to be a big jackpot than when it occurs, or is set low. When it is desired to have a game property that expects the occurrence of the first notice effect until the end, the case where the variation identification symbol 20 and the effect symbol 30 are integrated is higher than that of the hold identification symbol 10. Good to do.

The variation identification symbol 20 is finally burned by the flame of the lighter 40, disappears, or changes to another symbol.

Next, the second notice effect will be described. The second notice effect is performed not for the identification pattern but for the movable body 50. Specifically, the combination of the movable body 50 and the effect design 30 is performed.

The movable body 50 is a so-called accessory that can move between the standby position and the effect position. In the present embodiment, the movable body 50 is between a standby position in which most of the movable body 50 is covered by the left side of the game board 90 and an effect position (see FIG. 11) overlapping the display device 91 in the front-rear direction. Can be moved. The movable body 50 imitates the form of the emblem. The movable body 50 imitating this emblem is located either at a position where it is difficult for the player to see because it is covered by the game board 90, or at a position where it overlaps with the display device 91 and is seen by the player. In addition, the movable body 50 can be rotated while being positioned at the effect position. In addition, as long as it can be freely moved between the standby position and the production position and can be rotated in the state of being located in the production position, what kind of drive mechanism of the movable body 50 is used. Good.

The second notice effect is performed as an effect to notify the possibility that the result of the hit determination is a big hit, with respect to the result of the hit determination corresponding to the variation identification symbol 20. When the sub-control board determines to execute the second notice effect, the movable body 50 located at the standby position is moved to the effect position, and the effect pattern is moved toward the movable body 50 located at the effect position. 30 is displayed (see FIG. 12). The form of the effect symbol 30 is the same as that described in the first notice effect. That is, it is a “sword” in which the emblem 321 is drawn on the part of the collar 32.

Similar to the first notice effect, the second notice effect is roughly divided into three modes. The basic configuration of each aspect is also the same. That is,
1) A mode in which the "sword", which is the effect symbol 30 that moves toward the movable body 50, is displayed, the "sword" does not stick into the movable body 50, and the "sword" and the movable body 50 are not integrated. 2) A mode in which a "sword", which is the effect symbol 30 moving toward the movable body 50, is displayed, the "sword" is stuck into the movable body 50, and the "sword" and the movable body 50 are integrated (FIG. (See 13)
3) A "sword", which is the effect symbol 30 moving toward the movable body 50, is displayed, the "sword" is stuck into the movable body 50, and the "sword" and the movable body 50 are integrated, and then the sticking is performed. The amount gradually increases, and the emblem 321 on the collar 32 of the “sword” is combined with the movable body 50 having the shape of the emblem itself (see FIG. 14).
There are three.

The probability that the hit/nozzle determination result corresponding to the hold identification symbol 10 is a big hit is highest in the mode of 3), then high in the mode of 2), and lowest in the mode of 1). It should be noted that the above "integration" and "composite" are merely appearances. That is, a mode in which the movable body 50 which is a tangible object and the effect design 30 which is an intangible object (image) displayed on the display device 91 are combined to give an impression as if they were “integrated” or “combined”. I mean.

The aspect of 1) may not be mounted as an effect. However, if the mode of 1) is not mounted, the "sword" is stabbed into the movable body 50 (at least integrated) at the time when the effect pattern 30 that is a "sword" is displayed on the display device 91. Is determined, the concern about whether or not the “sword” pierces the movable body 50 diminishes. That is, in order to enhance the effect, it is preferable that the mode 1) be set. This point is the same as the first notice effect.

The mode of 2) is a mode in which the movable body 50 is pierced into the blade 31 of the "sword" which is the effect design 30 halfway, and it looks as if the movable body 50 and the effect design 30 are integrated.

In the aspect of 3), after the aspect of 2) occurs, it is notified whether or not the possibility of a big hit increases. The apparent piercing amount of the "sword" that is the production pattern 30 gradually increases, and when the sword 32 finally reaches the part of the collar 32, the emblem 321 on the collar 32 is a movable body 50 that imitates the emblem itself. It is as if it was synthesized with. In the present embodiment, the movable body 50 is rotated after such a form as if synthesized was constructed. That is, the emblem (movable body 50) after the form as if it was synthesized is constructed to move differently from the emblem (movable body 50) before the form as if synthesized. Has been done. As a result, the player recognizes that the movable body 50 imitating the emblem itself is combined with the emblem 321 on the collar 32 of the sword. As described above, in the present embodiment, by rotating the movable body 50, it is possible to reduce a sense of discomfort when the configuration in which the movable body 50 that is a tangible object and the image that is an intangible object are combined is reduced, and to improve the effect. I am trying.

In the second preliminary announcement effect as well, when the aspects 2) and 3) are executed, not only one effect symbol 30 (that is, one “sword”) but also a plurality of effect symbols 30 and a movable body. A form may be constructed as if 50 were integrated, or a form may be constructed as if each emblem 321 of a plurality of effect symbols 30 and the movable body 50 imitating the emblem itself were combined. The possibility of being a big hit when a form as if the plurality of effect symbols 30 and the movable body 50 were integrated was constructed as if the effect symbol 30 and the movable body 50 were integrated as one. It is set to be higher than the chance of a big hit. Further, the possibility of a big hit when the emblem 321 of the plurality of effect symbols 30 and the movable body 50 is constructed is a big hit, whether the emblem 321 of one effect symbol 30 and the movable body 50 are combined. When such a form is constructed, it is set to be higher than the chance of being a jackpot.

Further, when the above-mentioned first notice effect is also installed in the gaming machine in which such a second notice effect is installed, the taste of the game is further increased. That is, when the display device 91 displays the "sword" which is the effect symbol 30, whether the "sword" is stuck into the movable body 50 (whether the second notice effect is executed), the identification symbol (the hold identification symbol 10). Or the variation identification pattern 20) (whether the first notice effect is executed) or immediately after display, the player pays attention to the whereabouts of the "sword". In this case, if the movable body 50 moves from the standby position to the effect position and the “sword” is displayed on the display device 91, the “sword” may move toward the identification symbol. Good. Also, if you set a difference between the possibility of becoming a jackpot when the first notice effect occurs and the possibility of becoming a jackpot when the second notice effect occurs, the "sword" will be given to those who are likely to be the jackpot. It will be more entertaining because you will want to go.

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

For example, the forms of the effect symbol 30 and the identification symbol can be appropriately changed. It is sufficient that both symbols include a common symbol corresponding to the emblem.

In the first notice effect, the "sword", which is the effect symbol 30 displayed on the display device 91, moves toward the holding identification symbol 10 and the variable identification symbol 20, and the two are integrated or the emblem is combined. Depending on whether or not it is established, it has been described that the possibility of a big hit is notified, but after the effect symbol 30 is displayed on the display device 91, the hold identification symbol 10 and the variation identification symbol 20 are the effect symbols. It may move toward 30, and notify the possibility of a big hit depending on whether or not the integration of the two and the combination of the emblems are established. Further, the possibility of a big hit may be notified depending on whether the effect symbol 30 and the identification symbol move toward each other and whether the two are integrated or the emblem is combined.

Hereinafter, examples of specific means obtained from the above embodiment will be described.
Means 1; a win/loss determination means for determining whether or not a game medium has won a prize in a certain winning area, a storage means capable of storing a predetermined number of win/fail determination results by the win/loss determination means, and a win/loss effect based on the win/no determination result. , And display means for displaying an identification symbol indicating the number of hit determination results stored in the storage means, and when a certain condition is satisfied, the effect symbol is displayed on the display means, and this effect symbol When at least one of the identification symbol and the identification symbol moves toward the other and the integration of the two is established, the possibility determination result by the determination means corresponding to the identification symbol is set to increase the possibility of winning. A gaming machine characterized by being equipped with a notice production that has been made.

Means 2; In the gaming machine of means 1, the effect symbol partially includes a shape imitating the identification symbol, and the effect symbol and the identification symbol are integrated, and then the identification symbol of the effect symbol When the imitated shape and the identification pattern are combined, it is set such that the possibility of the hit determination result by the hit determination means corresponding to the identification symbol is further increased.

Means 3; In the gaming machine of means 2, when the shape imitating the identification symbol of the image effect symbol and the identification symbol are combined, the combined symbol is the identification symbol before being combined. Are characterized by different movements.

Means 4; In the gaming machine of any of Means 1 to 3, the second effect image may be integrated with the identification symbol having a plurality of the effect symbols, and a plurality of the effect symbols may be one. When integrated with the identification symbol, one effect symbol is set to be more likely to be a big hit than when integrated with the one identification symbol.

Means 5; In the gaming machine of any one of the means 1 to 4, the identification symbol is the variation identification symbol corresponding to the one in which the effect of notifying the win/no determination result is executed by the display means, and the variation. After the winning/decision determination corresponding to the identification symbol, the identification symbol corresponding to a certain determination result is divided into a pending identification symbol corresponding to the determination result of the winning of the game medium in the winning area. In contrast, whether or not the effect design is integrated is not only when the identification symbol corresponding to the hit determination result is the hold identification symbol, but the identification symbol corresponding to the hit determination result is the hold identification. It is characterized in that it is also determined when the pattern becomes the variation identification pattern.

Means 6; In the gaming machine of means 5, when the identification symbol is integrated with the effect symbol when it is the hold identification symbol, and when the identification symbol is changed from the hold identification symbol to the variable identification symbol. In the case of being integrated with the effect design, the possibility that the result of the hit determination corresponding to the identification design is a big hit is set so as to be different.

In the gaming machine of means 1, rather than notifying the possibility of a big hit depending on whether or not the identification symbol changes, by displaying a production symbol which is a symbol different from the identification symbol, both symbols are integrated. Since the notification is made depending on whether or not to perform, it is possible to improve the effect effect as compared with the related art.

As in the gaming machine of the means 2, if the possibility of a big hit is informed by whether or not the shape and the identification pattern simulating the identification pattern in the effect symbol are combined, the player determines that the identification symbol and the effect symbol are After the integration, since it is necessary to watch the fate of the effect while hoping that the “composite” will occur, it is possible to further improve the effect of the effect.

If the gaming machine of the means 3 is used, it is possible to further improve the effect of the effect in which the shape imitating the identification symbol of the effect symbol and the identification symbol are combined. Further, it is possible to provide an effect in which it is possible to easily determine whether or not a combination that affects the possibility of a big hit has been established.

If the game machine of the means 4 is used, not only one but a plurality of effect symbols may be integrated with the identification symbol, so that it is possible to further enhance the effect.

As in the gaming machine of the means 5, if the effect design may be integrated with the variation identification symbol, the player is integrated with the effect symbol even if the hold identification symbol becomes the variation identification symbol. Since it is possible to expect a change in the aspect due to the realization, it is possible to achieve an effect that can be expected to improve the possibility of a big hit by being integrated with the effect design until the end.

If the gaming machine of the means 6 is used, the possibility of being a big hit changes depending on at which stage the identification symbol is integrated with the effect member, so that it is possible to keep the game from the display device. is there.
