[First Embodiment]
A mode for carrying out the gaming machine according to the present invention will be described below based on examples. In the following embodiments, an example will be described when the present invention is applied to a slot machine.

[overall structure]
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the overall configuration of a slot machine. FIG. 1A is a schematic view showing an example of a main appearance configuration of the slot machine 1. FIG. 1B is a schematic diagram showing an example of a main internal configuration of the slot machine 1.

As shown in FIG. 1A, the slot machine 1 includes a liquid crystal display 51 for displaying an image and a speaker 53 for outputting sound. A perspective window 3 is formed below the liquid crystal display 51. The player can visually recognize the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R arranged side by side inside the slot machine 1 through the see-through window 3. On each reel 2L, 2C, 2R, symbols, which are a plurality of types of identification information that can be identified by each, are arranged in a predetermined order. Below the see-through window 3, there are a start switch 7 that is operated when starting a game (game), and stop switches 8L and 8C that are operated to stop the rotation of each reel and derive a display result. An 8R, an effect switch 56 for use in the effect, and a cross key 70 used for selecting an item are provided.

As shown in FIG. 1B, a main control unit 41 is provided inside the slot machine 1 to control the progress of the game and output various commands according to the progress of the game. The main control unit 41 includes a main CPU 41a that performs various controls related to the progress of the game, and a RAM 41c that stores various data related to the progress of the game. The main control unit 41 detects an operation on the start switch 7 and the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, and controls the progress of the game according to the detected operation. The control related to the progress of the game performed by the main control unit 41 is control for the reels 2L, 2C, 2R, control for paying out medals, control based on the operation of the start switch 7, stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R, etc. And so on.

Inside the slot machine 1, a sub control unit 91 that controls the effect in response to a command from the main control unit 41 is provided. The sub control unit 91 includes a sub CPU 91a that performs various controls related to the effect, and a RAM 91c that stores various data related to the effect. The sub control unit 91 controls the display of an image on the liquid crystal display 51 and the output of sound from the speaker 53 based on the command from the main control unit 41. Further, the sub control unit 91 detects an operation on the effect switch 56 and the cross key 70, and controls the display of an image on the liquid crystal display 51 and the output of sound from the speaker 53 according to the detected operation. The effect data used for the image display of the liquid crystal display 51 and the sound output of the speaker 53 is stored in the RAM 91c. The effect control performed by the sub control unit 91 includes control for the liquid crystal display 51, control for the speaker 53, control based on the operation of the effect switch 56, the cross key 70, and the like.

When playing a game on the slot machine 1, the player inserts medals into a medal insertion unit (not shown) or operates a BET switch (not shown) to set a predetermined number of bets. As a result, the winning line LN becomes valid, the operation to the start switch 7 becomes valid, and the game can be started. The winning line is a line for determining whether or not the combination of symbols on the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R displayed on the perspective window 3 matches the combination of winning symbols.

When the start switch 7 is operated while the game can be started, the main control unit 41 performs an internal lottery. The internal lottery is a process of determining a symbol combination (display result) that allows derivation. The fact that the derivation of the symbol combination is permitted by the internal lottery is also said to have won the role corresponding to the symbol combination. After performing the internal lottery, the main control unit 41 performs a reel rotation process to rotate the reels 2L, 2C, 2R. In the reel rotation process, the stop switches 8L to 8R are effective after starting the rotation of the reels 2L to 2R on the condition that a predetermined time (for example, 4.1 seconds) has elapsed from the start of the reel rotation of the previous game. And stop the rotation of the reel according to the stop operation. In the reel rotation process, when a predetermined freeze condition is satisfied, a freeze is executed to delay the progress of the game for a predetermined period (delay the activation of each stop operation of the stop switches 8L to 8R). After executing the freeze process, the operation to the stop switches 8L to 8R is enabled to shift to the normal game. Here, the freeze is a state in which an operation for advancing the game is not accepted (or delayed). The operation for advancing the normal game is an operation for setting the bet number, a lever-on operation (operation to the start switch 7), and a reel stop operation. That is, during the freeze, the game does not proceed regardless of any operation performed by the player (for example, even if the BET switch is operated, the bet number is not set, and the start switch 7 is operated. The reel remains stopped and the reel does not rotate).

When the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated and the rotation of the reel corresponding to the operated stop switch is stopped, the symbol combination is derived and displayed on the perspective window 3. Of the operations for the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R for stopping the rotation of the reels, the operation for stopping the rotation of the first reel is the first stop operation and the operation for stopping the rotation of the second reel. The operation for stopping the rotation of the third reel is also referred to as a second stop operation. When the symbol combination that matches the symbol combination of the winning combination is stopped on the winning line LN, the winning combination corresponding to the winning combination is generated.

[Menu screen]
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of a menu screen. The player can display the menu screen on the liquid crystal display 51 by operating the effect switch 56 and the cross key 70. When a predetermined operation is performed on the effect switch 56 at a timing when the menu screen can be displayed, the menu screen shown in FIG. 2A is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

On the menu screen, a plurality of items such as "dividend table", "game data", "data storage", "game flow", "effect setting", and "menu end" are displayed in a selectable manner. The item to be selected can be changed by operating the cross key while the menu screen is displayed, and when the effect switch 56 is operated while the item is selected, the selected item. Switch to the display regarding. In the example of FIG. 2A, "game flow" is selected.

For example, when the effect switch 56 is operated in the state shown in FIG. 2 (a), as shown in FIG. 2 (b), a flow image for explaining the transition of the stage on the effect performed in the slot machine 1. Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. The official name of the stage is written on the flow image.

[Game status and stage]
In the slot machine 1, a gaming state controlled by the main control unit 41 and an effect stage executed by the sub control unit 91 according to the gaming state will be described. The main control unit 41 sends a command to the sub control unit 91 that can specify which of the plurality of types of states is controlled. The sub control unit 91 grasps the game state based on the command from the main control unit 41, and executes the effect according to various stages using the effect data stored in the RAM 91c. Each stage controlled by the sub control unit 91 suggests a gaming state controlled by the main control unit 41.

(Game state)
The gaming state includes a normal state in which the stay rate is high and an advantageous state in which the player is more advantageous than the normal state. The advantageous state includes a specific state in which the game value is more likely to be acquired than the normal state or the game value is less likely to decrease than in the normal state, and a chance state in which the game value is likely to shift to the specific state. The chance state includes a first chance state and a second chance state in which it is easier to shift to a specific state than the first chance state.

The first chance state is controlled based on the first privilege, and the second chance state is controlled based on the second privilege. The first privilege and the second privilege are given, for example, in response to winning a lottery executed according to the result of an internal lottery.

(stage)
With reference to FIG. 2B, an effect stage controlled by the sub-control unit 91 will be described. The sub-control unit 91 controls one of the "normal stage", "precursor stage", "super precursor stage", "chance zone", "super chance zone", and "advantageous stage". The arrows in FIG. 2 (b) indicate the main transition paths of the stage. For example, the "normal stage" mainly shifts to the "precursor stage" or the "super precursor stage". From the "precursor stage" or "super precursor stage", it mainly shifts to the "chance zone" or "super chance zone". From the "chance zone" or "super chance zone", it mainly shifts to the "advantageous stage" or "normal stage". From the "advantageous stage", it mainly shifts to the "normal stage". The transition route shown in FIG. 2B is the main transition route, and the stage may be transferred by another transition route.

The "advantageous stage" is a stage for notifying that the control is performed in a specific state. That is, the sub control unit 91 controls to an advantageous stage during the specific state.

The "normal stage" is a stage that suggests that the normal state is controlled. That is, the sub control unit 91 controls to the normal stage with a high probability during the normal state.

The "chance zone" is a stage that suggests that the first chance state is controlled. That is, the sub control unit 91 controls the chance zone with a high probability during the first chance state.

The "super chance zone" is a stage that suggests that it is controlled by the second chance state. That is, the sub-control unit 91 controls the super-chance zone with a high probability during the second chance state.

The first chance state is controlled based on the first privilege, and the second chance state is controlled based on the second privilege. Therefore, it can be said that the "chance zone" suggests the granting of the first privilege, and the "super chance zone" suggests the granting of the second privilege.

The "precursor stage" and the "super precursor stage" are stages that suggest that the grant of the first privilege or the second privilege has been decided. Comparing the "precursor stage" and the "super precursor stage", the "super precursor stage" is a stage in which the expectation for the first privilege or the second privilege is higher than that of the "precursor stage". The degree of expectation regarding the privilege is (1) the degree of expectation that the privilege is decided to be granted, (2) the degree of expectation that many benefits are granted, and (3) the degree that is more advantageous than the first privilege. 2 Includes expectations for the benefits being granted.

[Precursor stage and super precursor stage]
FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining the title display when shifting to the precursory stage or the super precursory stage. The transition from the normal stage to the precursor stage or the super precursor stage. A curtain effect is performed as a suggestion effect suggesting the transition to the precursor stage or the super precursor stage, and an image indicating that the transition to the precursor stage or the super precursor stage is decided as a result of the curtain effect is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. (Fig. 3 (a)).

After that, when the start switch 7 is operated as an operation for starting the game, a title is displayed indicating which stage of the precursor stage and the super precursor stage is to be transferred (FIGS. 3 (b) and (d). )), After the lapse of a predetermined period, the image is switched to the image corresponding to the precursor stage or the super precursor stage (FIGS. 3 (c) and 3 (e)). Further, as shown in FIGS. 3C and 3E, an image corresponding to the stage name is displayed in the first stage name display area 260.

In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 3 (c) and 3 (e), the background image of the precursor stage and the background image of the super precursor stage are the same, but different background images may be used. Further, even if the background image is the same, the production during the super precursor stage may be more flashy than the production during the precursor stage.

(Curtain production)
The curtain effect is a suggestion effect that suggests that the stage shifts to the precursor stage or the super precursor stage, and is executed over one game when a predetermined execution condition is satisfied during the normal stage. It may be executed over a plurality of games, or may be executed in a shorter period than one game.

The curtain effect is an effect in which the curtain 210 is opened, the curtain 210 is fully opened, and the first result image 220 is displayed. The first result image 220 is composed of a cloud-shaped first frame image 230 and an information image 240 corresponding to information indicating the result. When showing the result of shifting to a stage more advantageous than the precursor stage, the sub-control unit 91 displays the character image (precursor image 241) of "precursor" as the information image 240 as shown in FIG. 3A. On the other hand, when indicating that the control is continuously performed in the normal stage without shifting to the precursor stage, the sub-control unit 91 displays the continuation image (not shown, for example, the character image "sorry") as the information image 240. .. Hereinafter, the sub-control unit 91 displaying the precursor image 241 on the liquid crystal display 51 is also referred to as the sub-control unit 91 performing the first normal display.

The timing at which the entire first result image 220 is displayed may be the timing at which the third stop operation is performed, or the timing at which the effect switch 56 is operated.

(Title display)
After the result of shifting to a stage more advantageous than the precursor stage is displayed as the first result image 220, that is, after the sub control unit 91 performs the first normal display, the main control unit 41 operates the start switch 7. Upon acceptance (hereinafter, also referred to as “lever on”), a command indicating that the operation has been accepted is sent from the main control unit 41 to the sub control unit 91. The sub-control unit 91 displays the title based on the reception of the command.

The display pattern of the title display includes a pattern in which the first normal display is continuously performed and a pattern in which the first normal display is changed to the first use display. Here, the "first use display using the first normal display" means the display of an image using at least a part of the images constituting the precursor image 241.

The pattern in which the first normal display is continuously performed is selected, for example, when shifting to the precursory stage, as shown in FIG. 3 (b). That is, when the stage shifts to the stage having the lowest degree of advantage among the stages shown by the precursor image 241, the first normal display for displaying the precursor image 241 is continuously performed. Specifically, in the example shown in FIG. 3B, the sub-control unit 91 turns off the curtain 210 and continues to display the precursor image 241 which is the first normal display. The display of the first frame image 230 may be erased when the lever is turned on, or may be continuously displayed.

The pattern to be changed to the first usage display is selected, for example, when shifting to the super precursor stage, as shown in FIG. 3 (d). Specifically, in the example shown in FIG. 3D, the sub-control unit 91 turns off the curtain 210 and superimposes the first super image 251 called “super” on the precursor image 241 as the first usage display. Display 250.

Here, the display of the precursor image 241 shown in FIG. 3 (b) notifies the transition to the precursor stage, and the display of the super precursor image 250 shown in FIG. 3 (d) indicates the transition to the super precursor stage. I am informing you. The precursory stage and the super precursory stage are stages that suggest that the granting of the first privilege or the second privilege has been decided. Therefore, the display of the precursor image 241 and the display of the super precursor image 250 are given the first privilege or the second privilege, and the display suggesting that the control to the chance state such as the first chance state or the second chance state is started. It can be said that.

In the present embodiment, if the lever is turned on while the precursor image 241 is being displayed (the first normal display is being executed), the display may change to the super precursor image 250 (first use display). The fun of the game is improved.

Further, even if the lever is turned on while the precursor image 241 is being displayed (during the execution of the first normal display), the precursor image 241 may continue to be displayed without changing to the super precursor image 250. It is possible to pay attention to whether or not the precursor image 250 changes.

Further, when the control to the precursor stage is started, even if the lever is turned on while the precursor image 241 is being displayed (during the execution of the first normal display), the super precursor image 250 does not change, and the super precursor image is super precursor. When the control to the stage is started, it changes to the super precursor image 250. Therefore, it is possible to pay attention to which stage is controlled, the precursor stage or the super precursor stage.

Further, since the precursor image 241 is displayed as a result of the curtain effect executed as the suggestion effect, the result of the curtain effect is easy to understand.

[Chance Zone and Super Chance Zone]
FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining the flow when shifting to the chance zone or the super chance zone. Move to the chance zone or super chance zone from the precursor stage or super precursor stage. A battle effect is performed as a suggestion effect suggesting the transition to the chance zone or the super chance zone, and an image indicating that the transition to the chance zone or the super chance zone is decided as a result of the battle effect is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. (Fig. 4 (b)).

After that, when the start switch 7 is operated to start the game, a title is displayed indicating which stage to move to, the chance zone or the super chance zone (FIGS. 4 (c) and 4 (d), (F)) After the elapse of a predetermined period, the image is switched to the image corresponding to the chance zone or the super chance zone (FIGS. 4 (e) and 4 (g)).

(Battle production)
The battle effect is a suggestion effect that suggests that the player will move to the chance zone or the super chance zone, and is executed over a predetermined game until the control to the precursor stage or the super precursor stage is terminated and the control to the other stage is terminated. Will be done.

The battle effect is an effect in which the ally character 311 and the enemy character 312 play against each other, and by displaying an image showing the battle result and a second result image 320 corresponding to the information showing the result, a chance zone or a super It is a production that informs the result of whether or not to move to the chance zone. When showing the result of shifting to a stage more advantageous than the chance zone, the sub-control unit 91 has an image showing that the ally character 311 is winning and a second result image 320 as shown in FIG. 4 (b). As a character image (chance image 321) of "chance zone" is displayed. On the other hand, when the sub-control unit 91 shifts to the normal stage without shifting to the chance zone, the sub-control unit 91 has an image showing that the ally character 311 is defeated and a normal stage image (not shown, for example) as the second result image 320. The text image) "Return to normal stage" is displayed. Hereinafter, the sub-control unit 91 displaying the chance image 321 on the liquid crystal display 51 is also referred to as the sub-control unit 91 performing the second normal display.

The timing for displaying the image showing the battle result and the second result image 320 may be such that the second result image 320 is displayed after the image showing the battle result is displayed, and the image showing the battle result is displayed. The timing for displaying the second result image 320 does not have to be the same as the timing for displaying the second result image 320. For example, an image showing the battle result may be displayed when the third stop operation is performed, and then the second result image 320 may be displayed when the effect switch 56 is operated.

(Title display)
After the result of shifting to a stage more advantageous than the chance zone is displayed as the second result image 320, that is, after the sub control unit 91 performs the second normal display, the main control unit 41 operates the start switch 7. Upon acceptance (hereinafter, also referred to as “lever on”), a command indicating that the operation has been accepted is sent from the main control unit 41 to the sub control unit 91. The sub-control unit 91 displays the title based on the reception of the command.

The display pattern of the title display includes a pattern in which the second normal display is continuously performed and a pattern in which the second normal display is changed to the second use display. Here, the "second use display using the second normal display" means the display of an image using at least a part of the images constituting the chance image 321.

The pattern in which the second normal display is continuously performed is selected, for example, when shifting to the chance zone, as shown in FIG. 4 (c). Specifically, in the example shown in FIG. 4C, the sub-control unit 91 erases the images other than the chance image 321 (the ally character 311 and the enemy character 312 in FIG. 4B), and continues the chance image 321. The second frame image 340 is displayed on the outer periphery of the chance image 321 while displaying the image. Here, the second frame image 340 is an image that simply makes the effect flashy and has no information, whereas the chance image 321 is a character image. Therefore, displaying the second frame image 340 does not mean changing from the display of the chance image 321 to the usage display.

The pattern to be changed to the second usage display is selected, for example, when shifting to the chance zone as shown in FIG. 4D and when shifting to the super chance zone as shown in FIG. 4F.

When changing to the second use display when shifting to the chance zone, as shown in FIG. 4D, the mode of the area surrounded by the edge portion of the chance image 321 is changed to a mode different from that of the chance image 321. The special chance image 322 is displayed.

When shifting to the super chance zone, as shown in FIG. 4 (f), the super chance image 330 is displayed by adding the second super image 331 "super" to the chance image 321.

That is, when shifting to the chance zone, a pattern for continuously performing the second normal display and a pattern for changing to the second usage display can be selected, but when shifting to the super chance zone, the pattern is changed to the second usage display. The pattern is selected.

Further, when the lever is turned on and then the transition to the chance zone is performed, the sound "chance zone" is output from the speaker 53 as the sound corresponding to the chance zone, and when the transition to the super chance zone is performed, the super chance zone is output from the speaker 53. The sound "super chance zone" is output as the sound corresponding to. The sub control unit 91 outputs sound from the speaker 53 after switching to the display of FIGS. 4 (c), (d), or (f) after the lever is turned on.

After that, as shown in FIGS. 4 (e) and 4 (g), the sub-control unit 91 erases the image used for the title display, switches to the background image for the stage, and displays the second stage name display area 350. Display the stage name.

In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 4 (e) and 4 (g), the background image of the chance zone and the background image of the super chance zone are the same, but different background images are used. May be good. Further, even if the background image is the same, the production in the super chance zone may be more flashy than the production in the chance zone.

Further, in the present embodiment, the timing of displaying the title is when the start switch 7 is operated, but after the second result image 320 is displayed as a result of the battle effect, the effect switch 56 is displayed. It may be when the operation of is performed.

(Other examples of title display)
Other display examples in the case of displaying the title will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 7. 5 (a), 6 (a), and 7 (a) are common to FIG. 4 (b), and thus description thereof will be omitted. Further, in the examples shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, the freeze is executed during the title display, and the effect related to the second use display is performed during the freeze.

(First example)
FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining a first example of title display. In the first example, when the start switch 7 is operated after the result of the battle effect is displayed, the freeze is executed and the second super image 331 is enlarged and displayed before the super chance image 330 is displayed. It is different from the example shown in FIG. 4 (f).

When the start switch 7 is operated, the freeze is executed, and as shown in FIG. 5B, the images other than the chance image 321 displayed in the battle effect are erased, and the second frame is formed on the outer periphery of the chance image 321. Image 340 is displayed.

After that, when shifting to the chance zone, as shown in FIG. 5 (c), the sound corresponding to the chance zone called "chance zone" is output from the speaker 53 without changing the display, the freeze ends, and the freeze ends. The operation to the switches 8L to 8R is enabled, and the display is switched to the display shown in FIG. 4 (e).

On the other hand, when shifting to the super-chance zone, as shown in FIG. 5D, the extra-large second super-image 331 is superimposed on the chance image 321 and displayed. After that, as shown in FIG. 5 (e), the second super image 331 is reduced, and the super chance image 330 in which the second super image 331 does not overlap is displayed on the chance image 321. A sound corresponding to the super-chance zone called "chance zone" is output, the freeze ends, the operation to the stop switches 8L to 8R is activated, and the display is switched to the display shown in FIG. 4 (g).

(Second example)
FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining a second example of title display. In the second example, the second normal display is switched to the second usage display regardless of the stage of the chance zone or the super chance zone. Since FIG. 6B is common to FIG. 5B, the description thereof will be omitted.

In FIG. 6, the chance image 321 called "chance zone" is switched to the second chance image 325 called "chance zone entry" when shifting to the chance zone, and "super chance zone entry" when shifting to the super chance zone. It switches to the second super chance image 332.

As the route for switching the chance image 321 to the second chance image 325, the first route that directly switches (the route that directly switches from FIG. 6 (b) to FIG. 6 (d)) and the character image "rush" (rush image 326). There is a second path (a path that switches from FIG. 6 (b) to FIG. 6 (c) and then switches to FIG. 6 (d)) after the image is enlarged and displayed.

When switching to the second chance image 325 in the first path, the sub control unit 91 additionally displays the inrush image 326 while continuing the display of the chance image 321 to use the chance image 321 from the chance image 321. Switch to the second chance image 325 that was there.

When switching to the second chance image 325 in the second path, the sub control unit 91 superimposes the oversized inrush image 326 on the chance image 321 while continuing to display the chance image 321 as shown in FIG. 6 (c). To display. After that, as shown in FIG. 6D, the sub-control unit 91 reduced the rush image 326 so that the chance image 321 and the rush image 326 do not overlap, thereby using the chance image 321 to the chance image 321. Switch to the second chance image 325.

When switching the chance image 321 to the second super chance image 332, the sub control unit 91 displays the oversized second super image 331 as a chance image while continuing to display the chance image 321 as shown in FIG. 6 (e). It is displayed on top of 321. After that, as shown in FIG. 6 (f), the sub control unit 91 reduces the second super image 331 so that the chance image 321 and the second super image 331 do not overlap, and the sub control unit 91 reduces the second super image 331 and rushes the image 326. Is displayed to switch from the chance image 321 to the second super chance image 332 using the chance image 321.

(Third example)
FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining a third example of title display. The third example is another embodiment shown in FIG. 6 in which the chance image 321 is switched to the second super chance image 332 using the chance image 321. In the example shown in FIG. 6, the second frame image 340 displayed on the outer periphery of the chance image 321 is continuously displayed. However, the second frame image 340 may be replaced with another image. For example, the second frame image 340 may be erased to generate an effect for emphasizing the character image "super chance zone".

By generating an effect, it is emphasized that the game shifts to a super-chance zone, which is more advantageous than the chance zone, instead of the chance zone, and the fun of the game is improved.

Although the second frame image 340 is displayed at the timing of lever-on in FIGS. 4 to 7, the second frame image 340 may not be displayed.

[Control example when displaying the title]
The main control unit 41 sends a command capable of specifying the period for executing the freeze process to the sub control unit 91, and the sub control unit 91 makes a sound corresponding to the stage from the speaker 53 within the period during which the freeze process is executed. Display the title so that it is output. After that, the main control unit 41 transmits a command indicating that the freeze processing is completed and the operation to the stop switches 8L to 8R is enabled to the sub control unit 91, and the sub control unit 91 is the liquid crystal display 51. The display is switched to the display shown in FIG. 4 (e) or FIG. 4 (g).

The period for executing the freeze process may be designed so that it can be selected from a plurality of types of periods, or the period for executing the freeze process may be designed so that only one type can be selected.

When the design is such that the freeze process can be selected from a plurality of types of periods, the sub-control unit 91 needs to execute the effect according to the period. On the other hand, when the design is such that only one type can be selected as the period for executing the freeze process, the sub-control unit 91 executes the freeze period because it is sufficient to prepare only the effect according to the period in advance. The processing load can be reduced as compared with the case where a plurality of periods can be selected.

Further, if the design is such that only one type can be selected as the period for executing the freeze process, the sub-control unit 91 outputs the sound at the same timing regardless of the title display. The effect of the liquid crystal display 51 may be designed as described above. By doing so, it is not necessary to change the sound output timing depending on the type of title display, and the processing load on the sub control unit 91 can be reduced.

Further, even when the sub-control unit 91 switches from the chance image 321 to any of the super-chance image 330, the second super-chance image 332, and the second chance image 324, the common image is the same. The effect may be executed using the same image data. By sharing the image data in this way, the capacity of the effect data stored in the RAM 41c can be reduced.

[Main effect]
(1-1) The chance zone is a stage suggesting that the first chance state is controlled, and the super chance zone is a stage suggesting that the second chance state is controlled. Therefore, the display of the chance image 321, the display of the special chance image 322, the display of the second chance image 324, the display of the super chance image 330, and the display of the second super chance image 332 are each started to be controlled to the chance state. It is a display that suggests that.

In the present embodiment, if the lever is turned on while the chance image 321 is being displayed, the display of the image using the chance image 321 may be changed, so that the interest of the game is improved.

(1-2) As shown in FIG. 4C, the sub-control unit 91 can continuously display the chance image 321 even if the lever is turned on while the chance image 321 is being displayed. Therefore, it is possible to pay attention to whether or not the chance image 321 is changed to another image using the chance image 321.

(1-3) As shown in FIGS. 4 (d) and 4 (f), the sub-control unit 91 changes the chance image 321 to another image using the chance image 321 while displaying the chance image 321. As the display of the image of, the special chance image 322 shown in FIG. 4D or the super chance image 330 shown in FIG. 4F is displayed. Therefore, it is possible to draw the player's attention to which display the display changes.

In the example shown in FIG. 4 of the present embodiment, when the lever is turned on while the chance image 321 is being displayed, the display shown in FIG. 4 (c), the display shown in FIG. 4 (d), and FIG. 4 (f). ) Is displayed, but the display shown in FIG. 4 (c) is not performed, and the display always changes to the display of another image using the chance image 321. There may be.

(1-4) As shown in FIG. 4D, when the control to the chance zone is started and the image changes to another image using the chance image 321, the chance image 321 is changed to the special chance image 322. Change. On the other hand, when the control to the super chance zone is started, the chance image 321 is changed to the super chance image 330.

Therefore, it is possible to pay attention to which stage of the chance zone and the super chance zone to move to.

Further, the chance zone is a stage that is likely to be controlled to the first chance state, and the super chance zone is a stage that is likely to be controlled to the second chance state. Therefore, it is possible to make the player pay attention to which state the control to which state is started.

(1-5) As shown in FIG. 4D, the special chance image 322 is a display using the edge portion of the chance image 321. Therefore, the player can easily recognize that the chance image 321 has been replaced with a different image.

(1-6) As shown in FIG. 4B, a battle effect is performed as a suggestion effect suggesting a shift to the chance zone or the super chance zone, and the chance image 321 is displayed as a result of the battle effect. Therefore, the player can easily understand that the battle effect was an effect that suggested the transition to the chance zone or the super chance zone, and the result of the battle effect is easy for the player to understand.

(1-7) As shown in FIG. 5, the chance image 321 may change to the super chance image 330 during the freeze. Therefore, it is possible to pay attention to whether or not the image changes to another image using the chance image 321 during the freeze.

In the example shown in FIG. 4, it is assumed that the freeze is not executed, but the freeze may be executed. Further, when the freeze is executed, as shown in FIG. 5, the second super image 331 may be superimposed on the chance image 321 and then changed to the super chance image 330.

(2-1) The chance image 321 shown in FIG. 4 (c) means that the control to the chance zone is started, and the super chance image 330 shown in FIG. 4 (f) is controlled to the super chance zone. Means to be started. The "chance zone" is a stage suggesting that the first chance state is controlled based on the first privilege. Further, the "super chance zone" is a stage suggesting that the second chance state is controlled more advantageous than the first chance state controlled based on the second privilege. Therefore, it can be said that the display of the chance image 321 shown in FIG. 4C is a display suggesting the granting of the first privilege. Similarly, it can be said that the display of the super chance image 330 shown in FIG. 4 (f) is a display suggesting the granting of the second privilege. Therefore, it is possible to attract the attention of the player whether it is a display suggesting the granting of the first privilege or a display suggesting the granting of the second privilege.

Further, the super chance image 330 is an image configured by adding the second super image 331 to the chance image 321. That is, the display suggesting the granting of the second privilege is configured by adding the display of the second super image 331 to the display suggesting the granting of the first privilege. Therefore, when displaying suggesting the granting of the second privilege, the data used for displaying suggesting the granting of the first privilege can be used, and the amount of effect data stored in the RAM 41c can be reduced. Can be done.

From the above, it is possible to display an efficient privilege with a reduced amount of information, and it is possible to display an effective privilege.

(2-2) The display of the precursor image 241 shown in FIG. 3 (b) means that the control to the precursor stage is started, and the display of the super precursor image 250 shown in FIG. 3 (d) is a super precursor. It means that control to the stage is started. The "super precursor stage" is a stage with higher expectations for the first privilege or the second privilege than the "precursor stage". In other words, it can be said that the display of the super precursor image 250 has a higher degree of expectation regarding the first privilege or the second privilege than the display of the precursor image 241. Therefore, it is possible to attract the attention of the player whether it is the display of the precursor image 241 or the display of the super precursor image 250. Further, since the super precursor image 250 is an image obtained by adding the first super image 251 to the precursor image 241, the data of the precursor image 241 can be used when displaying the super precursor image 250, and the effect of storing the data in the RAM 41c. The amount of data can be reduced.

From the above, it is possible to effectively display the privilege while reducing the amount of information related to the display related to the privilege.

(2-3) As shown in FIGS. 5 (b), (d), and (f), the super chance image 330 is displayed by adding the second super image 331 after displaying the chance image 321. Therefore, attention can be focused on whether or not the chance image 321 changes to the super chance image 330, and the interest of the game is improved.

In addition, also in the precursor image 241 shown in FIG. 3, the display shown in FIG. 3 (b) may be displayed after the display shown in FIG. 3 (b). In this case as well, the same effect as described above can be obtained.

(2-4) As shown in FIG. 6, both in the case of displaying the second chance image 325 and in the case of displaying the second super chance image 332 shown in FIG. 6 (f), FIG. 6 (b) shows. As shown, when the second chance image 325 is displayed after displaying the common chance image 321, the second chance image 325 is displayed without displaying the second super image 331, and the second super chance is displayed. When displaying the image 332, the second super image 331 is displayed and then the second super chance image 332 is displayed. Here, the display of the second super chance image 332 has a configuration in which the second super image 331 is added to the display of the second chance image 325.

Therefore, the effects up to FIG. 6B can be shared, and as a result, the data capacity can be reduced. In addition, attention can be focused on whether or not the second super image 331 is displayed.

Also in the precursor image 241 shown in FIG. 3, after displaying a part of the display shown in FIG. 3 (b) (for example, the precursor image 241), the first super image 251 is displayed, and then the first frame image 230. May be displayed and the display shown in FIG. 3 (d) may be used. In this case as well, the same effect as described above can be obtained.

(2-5) As shown in FIG. 6 (c), when the display shown in FIG. 6 (d) is performed, the display shown in FIG. 6 (d) and the display shown in FIG. 6 (f) are common. After displaying the included inrush image 326, the display shown in FIG. 6D is performed.

Therefore, when the display suggesting the granting of the first privilege is performed, the display is switched by the time the display is performed, which makes the production interesting.

Also in the precursor image 241 shown in FIG. 3, after displaying a part of the display shown in FIG. 3 (b) (for example, the precursor image 241), the first frame image 230 is displayed and shown in FIG. 3 (b). It may be displayed as shown. In this case as well, the same effect as described above can be obtained.

(2-6) As shown in FIGS. 5 (e), 6 (f), and 7 (d), when a display suggesting the granting of the second privilege is performed, the second display is performed after the display. The voice "super chance zone" related to the privilege is output from the speaker 53. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player from being aware of whether the sound suggests the granting of the second privilege or the granting of the first privilege before the display suggesting the granting of the second privilege is performed. can.

Even when the super-precursor image 250 shown in FIG. 3 is displayed, the sound of "super-precursor" may be output after the super-precursor image 250 is displayed. In this case as well, the same effect as described above can be obtained.

(2-7) As shown in FIGS. 4 (f), 5 (e), 6 (f), and 7 (d), when the display suggesting the granting of the second privilege is performed, "super chance" is displayed. The sound of "zone" is output from the speaker 53. The "super" sound in the "super chance zone" is a sound corresponding to the second super image 331, which is peculiar to the display and suggests the granting of the second privilege. On the other hand, the sound "chance zone" is a sound corresponding to the chance image 321 "chance zone" displayed during the display suggesting the granting of the first privilege, and is displayed to suggest the granting of the first privilege. The corresponding sound. That is, after the sound peculiar to the display suggesting the granting of the second privilege is output first, the sound corresponding to the display common to the display suggesting the granting of the second privilege and the display suggesting the granting of the first privilege. Is output. Therefore, since the player can hear the sound peculiar to the display suggesting the granting of the second privilege first, it is possible to accurately suggest by voice that the display suggesting the granting of the second privilege has been made.

Even when the super precursor image 250 shown in FIG. 3 is displayed, the sound corresponding to the first super image 251 peculiar to the super precursor image 250 called "super" is output, and then the precursor image 241 called "precursor" is displayed. The sound corresponding to the image common to the super precursor image 250 may be output. In this case as well, the same effect as described above can be obtained.

[Other effects]
(1) As shown in FIG. 3D, when shifting to the super precursor stage, the character image of super is displayed in the center of the character of precursor.

Therefore, the player may not know whether the title displayed as the super precursor image 250 is "super precursor" or "super precursor", which is the correct reading, but in the present embodiment, the menu screen. Since the official name of each stage is displayed on the flow image of, the player can specify how to read the character information indicated by the super precursor image 250 by checking the game flow. Further, as shown in FIG. 4D, since the character image of "super precursor" corresponding to the stage name is also displayed in the first stage name display area 260, the player can easily grasp the correct reading.

(2) As shown in FIG. 3D, when displaying the first usage display, the super image 251 is added to the first normal display. Since the super image 251 is a clearly different image that is not included in the precursor image 241 corresponding to the first use display, the player can easily understand that the display has changed.

Similarly, when the second use display is performed, FIGS. 4 (f), 5 (d), (e), 6 (d), (e), and 7 (c), (d) show. As shown, since the super image 331 is an image that is not included in the other images displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 at the timing when the super image 331 is displayed, the player can easily change the display. Can be understood.

[Modification example]
Although the main embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications and applications are possible. Hereinafter, a modified example of the above embodiment applicable to the present invention will be described.

[1st and 2nd benefits]
In the present embodiment, the first privilege and the second privilege are used as a privilege for controlling the chance state in which it is easy to shift to a specific state, but it may be a value that improves the degree of advantage for the player, and is used for games. The value is not limited to the value that directly affects the payout rate of the value, and may be a value that does not directly affect the payout rate. The values that do not directly affect the payout rate are, for example, the execution of highly reliable effects, the execution of premium effects that cannot normally be seen, and the set values (values for setting the payout rate of gaming machines). Includes the execution of suggestive effects.

Further, in the present embodiment, the second privilege is a privilege for controlling the second chance state in which it is easier to shift to a specific state than the first chance state controlled by the first privilege. Is a privilege that is more advantageous than the first privilege. However, the second privilege is (1) a privilege for controlling to a state more advantageous than the state controlled by the first privilege, (2) a privilege for controlling a state more advantageous than the first privilege, ( 3) The privilege may be a privilege in which the amount of the privilege given at one time is larger than that of the first privilege.

[Title display when moving to the precursor stage or the super precursor stage]
In the present embodiment, the pattern of changing the first normal display to the first usage display is performed when shifting to the super precursor stage, but even when shifting to the precursor stage, the first normal display is changed to the first display. You may display the pattern to be changed to the usage display. For example, when shifting to the precursor stage, the sub-control unit 91 replaces the mode of the area surrounded by the edge portion of the precursor image 241 with a mode different from that of the precursor image 241 as the “first use display”. Display or an image to which a character image "to the stage" is added in addition to the precursor image 241 may be displayed.

When displaying an image in which the aspect of the area surrounded by the edge portion of the precursor image 241 is changed to a mode different from that of the precursor image 241 as the "first use display", the edge portion of the character is used as it is and is used as the edge. The aspect of the enclosed area changes. Therefore, the player can easily recognize that the first normal display has changed to the first usage display.

Whether the transition to the super precursor stage or the precursor stage, when the first normal display changes to the first usage display, the super precursor image depends on whether the transition is to the super precursor stage or the precursor stage. It depends on whether the 250 is displayed or the image different from the super precursor image 250 is displayed. Therefore, it is possible to draw attention to the player as to which display is changed.

In the present embodiment, when the title display in the case of shifting to the precursor stage or the super precursor stage is executed, the example in which the freeze is not performed is given as an example, but the freeze may be performed. With such a configuration, it is possible to pay attention to whether or not the display changes during the freeze, or what kind of display it changes.

Further, in the present embodiment, it is assumed that the operation to the start switch 7 is accepted as an opportunity to change from the first normal display to the first use display, but it is also possible to change it by another operation as an opportunity. good. Other operations include, for example, an operation on the effect switch 56, an operation on the stop switches 8L to 8R, an operation on the touch panel when the liquid crystal display 51 is a touch panel, and the like. The other operation may be an operation performed by the player on the gaming machine, and may be an operation detected by the main control unit 41 or an operation detected by the sub control unit 91.

[Suggestion production and title display]
In the present embodiment, an example of displaying a title after performing a suggestion effect (curtain effect or battle effect) has been described. However, as a series of effects related to the title display without performing the suggestion effect, after performing the normal display, the display may or may not be changed to the usage display using the normal display based on the predetermined operation. It may be something that is directed.

For example, the normal display may be changed to the usage display by performing the normal display based on the operation of the start switch 7 and then performing the first stop operation. Further, the normal display may be changed to the usage display by performing the normal display based on the third stop operation and then operating the effect switch 56.

[Game machine]
In the present embodiment, as an example of a gaming machine, a slot machine that pays out a game medium to a player's hand according to the occurrence of a prize has been described. However, the game medium is enclosed and the game medium is played according to the occurrence of a prize. An enclosed slot machine that adds game points (scores) without paying out to the person's hand may be adopted. The base and the drum can be distributed, and the housing is common, and only the base or the base and the drum are called a gaming machine. In addition, it is a slot machine that has a game area in which a game ball can be fired and a game can be played, and the number of bets can be set according to the game ball passing through a predetermined area provided in the game area. You may.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, a plurality of reels capable of variablely displaying a plurality of types of symbols, each of which can be identified, are provided, and after the reels are variablely displayed, the display result is derived by stopping the variable display of the reels. We explained a slot machine that can generate prizes according to the combination of display results of multiple reels. That is, a plurality of variable display units capable of variablely displaying a plurality of types of identification information, each of which can be identified, are provided, and after the variable display unit is variablely displayed, the variable display of the variable display unit is stopped to derive a display result. Then, a slot machine in which a prize can be generated according to a combination of display results of a plurality of variable display units has been described. However, a variable display unit capable of variablely displaying a plurality of types of identification information that can be identified by each is provided, and after the variable display unit is variablely displayed, the variable display of the variable display unit is stopped to derive a display result. A slot machine capable of generating a prize according to the display result is not limited to a slot machine having three reels, but a slot machine having only one reel or a slot machine having a plurality of reels other than three. May be good.

Further, it may be a so-called pachinko gaming machine. Near the center of the gaming area of the pachinko gaming machine, an effect display device corresponding to the display means is provided. When the game ball wins a prize in a predetermined winning opening, the special variable display device changes at least one of the special first special symbol and the second special symbol, and the effect display device displays the first special symbol and the second special symbol. A variable display (also referred to as a variable display, an updated display, or a patrol display) of an effect symbol (decorative symbol) synchronized with at least one of the variable displays is performed. The variable display of the effect symbol is executed in various variable modes such as a scroll display and an in-situ switching display. The effect display device corresponds to a variation display device that displays variations of the effect symbols (decorative symbols) as a plurality of types of identification information that can identify each of them. The effect display device is provided with an effect symbol display area for displaying the effect symbol on the display screen, and the effect symbol display area has, for example, three (plural) "left", "middle", and "right". There is a symbol display area as a display area for displaying the effect symbols in a variable manner. Each of these three effect symbols is an effect symbol as a plurality of types of identification information that can identify each of them.

In the pachinko gaming machine, the game ball wins a prize in the predetermined winning opening, but the predetermined start condition (when the variable display due to the hold memory that is not in the big hit game and the start winning prize is completed) is satisfied. If not, the information is stored as reserved storage information within a predetermined upper limit (for example, 4 pieces). Here, the hold storage information is information for specifying, for example, whether or not to control a specific gaming state (for example, a big hit state).

Here, the jackpot state is an advantageous state in which the game ball is likely to be paid out as a prize ball. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine, as a state more advantageous than the normal state, in addition to the big hit state, for example, a state in which the probability of being controlled to the big hit state is high, a state in which the game ball is likely to win a predetermined winning opening, or a state in which the game ball is likely to win a prize in a predetermined winning opening. It is possible to control to an advantageous state where the period of variable display is short.

When the pachinko gaming machine controls the jackpot state, the display result corresponding to the jackpot combination is stopped and displayed in the symbol display area. In a pachinko gaming machine having a plurality of types of jackpot states, different jackpot combinations are set for each type of jackpot state, and the player starts controlling to which jackpot state based on the jackpot combination. Can be identified.

The pachinko gaming machine includes a main control unit that controls the progress of the game and a sub control unit that controls the effect. The pachinko gaming machine is provided with a screen operation switch (corresponding to the cross key 70), a stick controller, and a trigger button (corresponding to the effect switch 56) in addition to the hitting ball operation handle for firing the hitting ball (game ball). The screen operation switch, stick controller, and trigger button are electrically connected to the sub control unit so that the sub control unit of the pachinko gaming machine can detect the operation of the screen operation switch, stick controller, and trigger button. It is connected. By operating the operation means such as the stick controller and the screen operation switch connected to the sub control unit at a predetermined timing, the player operates the menu and displays the menu screen for setting the effect. It is possible.

In the pachinko gaming machine, the suggestion effect and title display described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 7 are used to suggest which of the plurality of types of jackpot states the control to which jackpot state is to be started.

For example, in a pachinko gaming machine, control to a jackpot state is started by a reach effect. The pachinko gaming machine includes a plurality of types of reach effects, and may display the titles shown in FIGS. 3 to 7 as the title display of the reach effects. Here, the reach effect is an effect executed in response to the display mode of the symbol display area becoming a predetermined reach mode during the variable display of the effect symbol. The reach mode is a mode in which variable display is continued for a symbol that has not yet been stopped and displayed when the display mode of the symbol display area constitutes a part of the jackpot combination.

For example, a pachinko gaming machine has a title display of a reach effect (for example, a title display of "reach") that suggests that a privilege for controlling a jackpot state may be granted, and a privilege more than the reach effect. It is possible to execute a title display (for example, "super reach") of a highly reliable super reach effect for which the grant of is determined, and to apply the title display shown in FIGS. 3 to 7 to these title displays. Can be done.

In addition, an effect suggesting that the granting of the right to control the specific state is determined based on the reserved storage information may be performed over a plurality of variations. As such an effect, the pachinko gaming machine may be provided with a plurality of types of effects having different reliability for which benefits are determined, and may display a title related to the effect at the start of these effects. The title display shown in FIGS. 3 to 7 may be applied to this title display.

Further, it may be provided with a plurality of types of benefits having different periods controlled in an advantageous state, and may be provided with a plurality of types of title displays suggesting each benefit, and the title display shown in FIGS. 3 to 7 is applied to the title display. You may.

Further, the trigger for changing the title display from the normal display to the usage display may be the acceptance of an operation on the screen operation switch, the stick controller, or the trigger button.
