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

The game machine 1 is equipped with a game board 90 . The game board 90 is made of a substantially square plywood board, and a guide rail 903 forming a passage for guiding a game ball fired by operating a shooting device 908 (shooting handle) to the game area 902 has a substantially arc shape. is provided as follows. The game area 902 is provided with a start winning opening 904, a big winning opening 906, an out opening 907, and the like.

A display area 911 of the display device 91 is visible through an opening 901 formed in the game board 90 . In some of the drawings, the shape of the display area 911 that is exposed without being covered by the game board 90 is shown in a simplified form (shown as a square), but the size and shape of this portion can be changed as appropriate. be.

In addition, in the game area 902, a plurality of game nails are provided as obstacles that change the flowing state of the game balls when the falling game balls collide with each other. The game ball flowing down the game area 902 changes in various modes according to the conditions when it collides with the game nail.

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

The lottery for the jackpot is executed by winning/failure determining means provided on a control board (not shown) when a game ball enters the starting winning opening 904 (a plurality of such starting winning openings 904 may be provided). Specifically, a numerical value (hereinafter also referred to as win/fail determination information) is acquired from a random number source triggered by the winning of a game ball into the start winning opening 904, and the numerical value is the same as the predetermined jackpot numerical value. If it is, it is a jackpot, and if it is different, it is a loss. In this embodiment, as in a known gaming machine, when a big win is achieved, the identification pattern 80 (see FIG. 2) displayed in the display area 911 of the display device 91 is displayed in a predetermined combination (for example, three of the same pattern). Matching) is notified, and if any other combination is displayed, it is lost. Although the description of the identification pattern 80 is omitted in some drawings, basically, the identification pattern 80 (identification pattern group) is continues to be displayed.

In the present embodiment, notification of the results of the success/failure determination is started in the order in which the numerical values for the above-mentioned success/failure determination are acquired (variation of the identification pattern 80 (identification pattern group) is started). If the pass/fail judgment result based on the previously acquired numerical value is notified when the value is acquired, the control board (not shown) is provided until the pass/fail judgment result based on the certain numerical value is started to be notified. stored in the provided storage means. The maximum number of numerical values that have not yet started notification of the result of the judgment (the one corresponding to each of these numerical values is "suspension (information)". It can be said that suspension (information) is a subordinate concept of the judgment information) The number of memories (maximum number of reservations) can be set as appropriate. The maximum number of reservations that can be stored by the storage means in this embodiment is four per type of start winning opening 904 . In the present embodiment, at the time when notification of the success/failure determination result is started, it is determined whether or not the acquired numerical value is a value that will result in a big hit. It is also possible to have a configuration in which the determination result itself is stored. In addition, the acquired numerical value is also used as a numerical value for determining the specific content of the effect for informing the success/failure determination result.

In the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, a pending symbol (not shown), which is a mark corresponding to each of the acquired numerical values (winning/failure judgment information) for which notification of the winning/failure judgment result stored in the storage means has not started ) is displayed in the display area 911 of the display device 91 . In the present embodiment, the values are displayed so as to line up from the left in order from the timing at which the numerical value was acquired (from the so-called pending digestion). A dedicated display device for displaying reserved symbols may be provided. The mode of the reserved design may always be the same, and the probability that the corresponding success/failure determination result will be a big hit (hereinafter, also referred to as (jackpot) reliability) is a normal reserved design that suggests that may be set with one or more types of special symbols in different aspects.

Descriptions of components of the gaming machine 1 that are not related to the present invention, such as the frame of the gaming machine 1 and the lower and upper trays for storing game balls, will be omitted. For these, those having the same structure as known gaming machines can be applied.

2) Operation Means and Operation Performance Using the Same 2-1) Basic Configuration of Operation Means The operation means 10 is a member provided for the player to participate in the performance. The operation means 10 in this embodiment is a so-called "push button". The operating means 10 is provided so as to be displaceable between an original position and an operating position displaced downward by a predetermined amount from the original position. At least, it is detected by a sensor (not shown) that the operating means 10 is positioned at the operating position. The operating means 10 is not limited to the "push button". It is possible to displace a predetermined range by applying force by the player himself/herself, and any sensor or the like can detect that it is positioned at the operating position. Moreover, the configuration may be such that a plurality of operation directions (operation modes) are set. For example, it may be a lever that can be pushed and pulled back and forth. Moreover, it is good also as a structure provided with the some operation means 10. FIG.

2-2) Basic Aspect of Operation Effect The operation effect is an effect that prompts (requests) the player to operate the operation means 10 . The gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment generates a plurality of types of operation presentations with different scenes to be executed and required operation modes (described later). In the operation effect, an operation effective period is set in which the operation of the operation means 10 is reflected in the effect. During the effective period of operation, a meter 11 (see FIG. 3, etc.) or numbers (counted down numbers) indicating the remaining time or the elapsed time of the effective period of operation may be displayed. In addition, in order to allow the player to easily grasp that the timing (opportunity) to operate the operation means 10 has come, an operation image 12 (see FIG. 3 etc.) showing the operation means 10 is displayed. and the display 13 indicating that the operation means 10 should be operated (see FIG. 3, for example, a display saying "Push!"). It should be done. In addition, the mode of the said operation presentation is just an example. It is assumed that the operation presentation includes all presentations in which the player is requested to operate the operating means 10 .

Various operation modes of the operation means 10 required in the operation presentation are conceivable. A single operation in which the operation means 10 is changed from the original position to the operation position only once, and a continuous operation (so-called "continuous blow") in which the operation means 10 is repeatedly displaced from the original position to the operation position (single operation is repeated multiple times). , a maintenance operation (a so-called “long press”) for maintaining the state of the operating means 10 displaced from the original position to the operating position. The gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment has an operation effect that encourages a single operation (see FIG. 4A; hereinafter also referred to as a single operation effect) and an operation effect that encourages continuous operations (see FIG. 4B). Hereafter, it may be referred to as a continuous operation effect), and an operation effect prompting a maintenance operation (see FIG. 4(c); hereinafter also referred to as a maintenance operation effect).

3) Aspect Change Effect that Occurs During Operation Effect Hereinafter, the aspect change effect that occurs during the operation effect will be described. In addition, it is good also as a structure which can execute only a part of the matter demonstrated below. Further, when the operation effect is generated, the following mode change effect may not always be generated.

3-1) Visual Aspect Change Effect The operating means 10 has a changing portion 101 that changes the visual aspect. The operating means 10 in this embodiment has a changing portion 101 and a cover 109 that covers the changing portion 101 (see FIG. 5). Since the cover 109 is made of a light-transmissive material (colorless and transparent material in this embodiment), the player can visually recognize the state of the changing portion 101 through the cover 109 . The change of the changing portion 101 may be any change that can be grasped visually by the player. In this embodiment, the changing unit 101 includes a light source (LED) capable of changing luminance. In other words, the visual aspect of the changing portion 101 changes by changing the luminance of the light source. The visual aspect of the changing portion 101 may be changed by changing factors other than luminance, such as the color of emitted light.

The visual aspect change effect is an effect in which the aspect of the changing portion 101 changes as the valid operation period elapses. The mode of the changing portion 101 may continue to change during the entire operation valid period, or may change during a part of the operation valid period (the period in which the changing portion 101 is maintained). (even if there is) is good. Assuming that a period in which the state of the changing section 101 changes during the operation valid period is a changing period, the luminance of the changing section 101 is controlled to gradually increase as time elapses during the changing period. In other words, in this embodiment, one element that constitutes the visual mode changes in the direction of increasing or decreasing during the change period. Therefore, from the player's point of view, the mode of the changing portion 101 does not suddenly change greatly (the mode changes completely), but the mode of change gradually changes over time. However, it does not deny the change mode that the mode of the changing part 101 suddenly changes greatly.

In the present embodiment, the changing portion 101 does not emit light (luminance is 0) at the start of the valid operation period, and then the brightness gradually increases as the valid operation period elapses. (See Figure 6).

Owing to the occurrence of such a visual mode change effect, the operation effect (during the operation effective period) becomes gorgeous, and it is possible to improve the entertainment of the game. In addition, since the mode of the changing section 101 gradually changes as the operation valid period elapses, the operation means 10 itself becomes an effect mode as if the passage of time during the operation valid period is represented.

The configuration related to the visual aspect change effect can be changed, improved, or embodied as follows. Note that a configuration may be adopted in which a plurality of items (techniques) described in the following examples are applied in combination.

a) The mode of the changing portion 101 is maintained during a period other than the operation valid period in the operation presentation. For example, the operation effective period is not set at the same time as the operation effect is started, but the operation of the operation means 10 is reflected in the effect between the time when the operation effect is started and the time when the operation effective period is started. In some cases, a period (hereinafter referred to as an introduction period) may be set. During the introductory period, for example, an instruction issued to the player (for example, an instruction such as "defeat the enemy") is displayed. Also, a period (hereinafter referred to as an end period) may be set from the end of the valid operation period until the end of the effect is shown.

During the period in which the operation of the operating means 10 is not reflected in the presentation, such as the introduction period and the end period, the mode of the changing section 101 is maintained (see FIG. 7). For example, during the introduction period and the end period, the state in which the changing portion 101 does not emit light (the state in which the luminance is 0) is maintained. By doing so, it is possible to make it easier to understand that these periods are periods in which the operation of the operation means 10 is not reflected in the presentation. The mode of the operating means 10 during the above period is preferably the mode at the time when the visual mode change effect is started (initial mode described later).

b) The effective period of operation may be terminated prematurely due to the operation of the operation means 10 . For example, in a single-operation effect, the end of the effect is indicated by operating the operating means 10 during the valid operation period. Further, in the continuous operation effect and the sustained operation effect, the end of the effect may be indicated when the continuous operation and the sustained operation during the operation valid period satisfy a predetermined condition. When such a conclusion is shown, it means that there is no need to operate the operating means 10 any more. end in the middle). If the valid operation period expires while the mode of the changing section 101 is gradually changing, the mode change of the changing section 101 is stopped at that point. In this embodiment, the mode of the changing section 101 is returned to the initial mode (default mode) (see FIG. 8). For example, in the case of a change mode in which the brightness is gradually increased from a state in which the changing portion 101 does not emit light at all (brightness 0), when the valid operation period ends in the middle, the changing portion 101 does not emit light immediately. It returns to the state without it (refer FIG.8(c)). By doing so, it becomes easy to understand that the valid period of operation has ended.

c) In the operation rendering, a display prompting the user to operate the operation means 10 at a specific time during the effective period of operation shall be provided. For example, a mark M indicating a specific point in time is displayed in association with the meter 11 displayed in the single operation presentation, and the operation means 10 is urged to operate (single operation) at the point in time when the mark M is shown. Suppose that an effect occurs (see FIG. 9). By displaying such a mark M, the player has the impression that something good will happen if the operation means 10 is operated at the point in time (specific point in time) at which the mark M is shown. receive. Specific time (strictly speaking, if the specific time is "one point", it is extremely difficult to match the timing exactly with the operation time, so the specific time is a predetermined time including a certain time (point of time indicated by mark M). What kind of profit is given to the player by operating the operation means 10 during the period of time (which is considered to be a period having a time width) (the profit is not related to the number of balls released, but is a performance profit)? may For example, some kind of special effect is generated, and a point (detailed explanation is omitted because it is well known) is given in relation to the effect linked with the mobile terminal.

In the single-operation effect in which such a specific time is set, as a visual mode change effect, the mode of the changing portion 101 gradually changes from the start time when the operation effective period starts to the specific time (see FIG. 9 ( (a) (see (b))), and the amount of change of the changing portion 101 is maximized (see FIG. 9 (c)) at the specific time. For example, if the change mode is such that the brightness of the changing portion 101 gradually increases as in the above embodiment, the change mode is such that the brightness of the changing portion 101 is maximized at a specific point in time. Further, for example, if the change mode is such that the luminescent color of the changing portion 101 gradually approaches “red”, the “red” component of the luminescent color (the tint of a predetermined color) is the most at a specific point in time. The mode of change is such that it becomes larger. By changing the changing portion 101 in this way, the change in the changing portion 101 serves as a guideline for the player who intends to operate the operation means 10 at a specific point in time.

If the operation means 10 is not operated at a specific point in time, the valid operation period will continue. In this case, after the specific time has elapsed, the changing unit 101 may change the mode so that it gradually approaches the mode at the start time (see FIG. 9D). For example, if the change mode is such that the brightness of the changing portion 101 gradually increases, as in the above embodiment, after the brightness of the changing portion 101 reaches its maximum at a specific point in time, as the operation effective period elapses, , the change mode is such that the luminance of the changing portion 101 gradually decreases. Further, for example, if the changing mode is such that the luminescent color of the changing portion 101 gradually approaches “red”, the operation valid period As the time elapses, the change mode is such that the “red” element of the luminescent color gradually becomes smaller. By doing so, it becomes easier to understand the passage of time after the specific point in time.

If the specific point of time is set at approximately the middle point of the operation effective period, it is easy to understand that the point of time when the amount of change of the changing section 101 becomes the largest is approximately the middle point of the operation effective period (turnaround point). It is possible to show Also, the change speed of the mode of the changing portion 101 from the start time of the valid operation period to the specific time (for example, the speed at which the luminance increases) and the end time of the valid operation period from the specific time (when no operation is performed at all) end point) of the changing portion 101 (for example, the speed at which the luminance decreases) can be controlled so as to have an inversely proportional relationship (see FIG. 10).

It should be noted that the same technical idea can be applied to the continuous operation effect and the maintenance operation effect. For example, in the continuous operation effect, the point in time at which the continuous operation (continuous hit) should be started, and in the maintenance operation effect, the point at which the maintenance operation (long press) should be started may be set as the specific point in time, and the configuration is the same as above.

d) In the operation presentation, it is set so that the visual mode change presentation may or may not occur. Then, when the visual mode change effect occurs, the probability that the result of the operation effect will be advantageous to the player is set higher than when it does not occur. In addition, if the outcome of the operation effect is related to the probability that the result of the win/fail judgment will result in a big win (reliability of the big win), it can be said that the presence or absence of the occurrence of the visual mode change effect suggests the reliability of the big win. . In other words, depending on the presence or absence of the occurrence of the visual mode change effect, the probability that an event advantageous to the player will occur after the operation effect (the end of the operation effect is assumed to occur "after" the operation effect) (hereinafter simply referred to as " (sometimes referred to as “reliability”). In this way, it is possible to realize a game feature in which the player pays attention to whether or not the visual mode change effect is generated. It should be noted that the setting may be such that the reliability is higher when the visual mode change effect is not generated than when the visual mode change effect is generated.

e) Assume that a plurality of types of modes are set as the mode of the visual mode change effect. For example, it is assumed that a plurality of modes with different maximum luminances during the operation valid period are set. The degree of reliability is suggested by which aspect of the visual aspect change effect occurs. In this way, it is possible to realize a game feature in which the player pays attention to how the changing section 101 changes.

In the case of such a configuration, it is preferable to combine part of the contents described in c) above. Specifically, it is assumed that the mark M or the like indicates the point in time when the amount of change in the changing portion 101 is the largest. By doing so, the degree of reliability is suggested by the state of the changing portion 101 at the time when the mark M is shown, so that the suggestion of the degree of reliability is easy to understand. .

3-2) Movable Effect The operating means 10 has a movable portion 102 that can operate automatically (can be operated without the player applying force) (see FIG. 11). In this embodiment, the above-described changing portion 101 itself is also the movable portion 102 . Therefore, movement of the movable portion 102 is visually recognized through the cover 109 . A configuration in which the changing portion 101 and the movable portion 102 are separate members may be employed. Further, the configuration in which the entire operation means 10 is the movable portion 102 (the configuration in which the entire operation means 10 can be automatically operated) may be employed. The movable part 102 in this embodiment is a part that can change from one of a stationary state (see FIG. 11(a)) and a vibrating state (see FIG. 11(b)) to the other. .

The movable effect is a effect in which the state of the movable part 102 changes in the middle of the valid operation period. In this embodiment, the movable part 102, which was in a stationary state at the start of the valid operation period, vibrates during the valid operation period (see FIG. 12). Since the movable part 102 is a part that can be visually recognized by the player (in this embodiment, it is visible through the cover 109), a visual change is generated in which the movable part 102, which was in a stationary state, vibrates. You can say that. Also, if the vibration of the movable part 102 is of a level that the player can feel through the shooting device (shooting handle), it can be said that the effect is such that a tactile change occurs.

By adopting a configuration in which such a movable effect can occur, an unexpected change occurs during the effective period of operation, so it is possible to improve the amusement of the game.

The configuration related to the movable presentation can be changed, improved, or embodied as follows. Note that a configuration may be adopted in which a plurality of items (techniques) described in the following examples are applied in combination.

a) In the operation presentation, it is set so that the movable presentation may or may not occur. Then, the setting is such that when the movable effect occurs, the reliability (the reliability has already been described) is higher than when it does not occur. By adopting such a configuration, in the operation presentation, the player pays attention to whether or not the movable presentation will occur (playability in which the player wishes to vibrate the movable part 102 in the stationary state). can be realized. In addition, it is not denied that the setting is such that the reliability is higher when the movable effect is not generated than when it is generated.

b) The movable effect is that the movable part 102, which was in a stationary state at the start of the valid operation period, vibrates during the valid operation period, but is stationary at the start of the valid operation period. A change may occur in which the movable part 102 in the state of being stopped stops in the middle of the valid operation period.

c) The movable part 102, which was in a stationary state at the start of the effective operation period, vibrates in the middle of the effective operation period, then changes to a stationary state again, and the movable part 102 in the stationary state is restored. A vibrating change may occur. In other words, it may be possible that the stationary state and the vibrating state are repeated multiple times. In the configuration described in b) above, the vibrating state and the stationary state may be repeated multiple times.

In this case, the degree of reliability is suggested by how many times an effect mode in which the change from the stationary state to the vibrating state (from the vibrating state to the stationary state in the configuration b) occurs once occurs. For example, it is conceivable to set the reliability so that the greater the number of occurrences of the effect mode, the higher the reliability.

d) Assume that a plurality of modes are set as the operation mode of the movable part 102 . Any method may be used to set the difference in operation modes. For example, a method of differentiating the amplitude and frequency of vibration can be considered. Under these preconditions, it is assumed that the reliability differs depending on how the movable part 102, which is in a stationary state, operates (vibrates). For example, as the action modes, the first action mode to the third action mode are set, no movement effect occurs (lowest reliability), the first action mode occurs, the second action mode occurs, and the third action mode occurs. It is set so that the reliability increases in the order of occurrence (highest reliability). In this way, it is possible to realize a game feature in which the player pays attention not only to the operation of the movable portion 102 but also to how the movable portion 102 operates.

Further, it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which a plurality of types of operation modes are set as the operation modes of the movable part 102, and the movable part 102 operating in a certain operation mode may change to another operation mode. good. If the reliability is associated with each operation mode as described above, it is necessary to indicate that the reliability has increased due to the change in the operation mode (change in operation mode is set as a so-called chance up). can do.
