A mode for carrying out the gaming machine 1 according to the present invention will be described below based on an embodiment.

[Configuration of Gaming Machine 1]
FIG. 1(A) is a diagram showing an example of the main internal configuration of the gaming machine according to this embodiment, and FIG. 1(B) is a front view of the gaming machine according to this embodiment. The gaming machine 1 is, for example, a slot machine or a pachinko gaming machine.

As shown in FIG. 1A, the gaming machine 1 includes a main control section 41 that controls the progress of a game, and a sub-control section 91 that controls effects. The main control unit 41 includes a RAM 41c that stores various data relating to game progress. The main control unit 41 stores game values in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 41c. Further, the operation section 7 is connected to the main control section 41 .

The main control unit 41 outputs various commands according to the progress of the game. The sub-controller 91 controls effects based on the control information of the command output from the main controller 41 . The sub control unit 91 includes a RAM 91c that stores various data related to effects.

A liquid crystal display 51 for displaying images and a speaker 53 for outputting sounds are connected to the sub-controller 91 . The production is performed using the liquid crystal display 51 and the speaker 53 .

FIG. 1B is a front view of the gaming machine. The gaming machine 1 enables a game to be played by a player's operation of the operation unit 7 using the gaming value.

When the gaming machine 1 is a slot machine, the operation unit 7 includes a bet amount setting button for setting the bet amount, a start switch for starting rotation of the reels, a stop switch for stopping the reels, and the like. Also, game values are medals and credits. A game value is given according to the symbols derived by stopping the reels.

When the game machine 1 is a pachinko game machine, the operation unit 7 is a ball-hitting operation handle for shooting game balls (game media). Also, the game value is a game ball. When a game ball enters a prize winning opening, a prize ball is generated (game value is given).

[Normal state and advantageous state]
The main control unit 41 can control states including a normal state and an advantageous state. The normal state is, for example, a state in which the game machine 1 is designed such that an increase in game value cannot be expected, or a state in which the rate of stay in the game is higher than in the advantageous state. The advantageous state is a state that is more advantageous to the player than the normal state. The advantageous state is, for example, a state in which the game value held by the player is more likely to increase than in the normal state, a state in which the game value held by the player is less likely to decrease than in the normal state, or a state in which the game value held by the player is less likely to decrease than in the normal state. It is a state in which it is easy to shift to a state in which the gaming value is likely to increase. The advantageous state may be any state as long as the state is more advantageous for the player than the normal state.

For example, in a slot machine, the advantageous state is a bonus that increases the probability of winning a small winning combination, or an AT that notifies an operation procedure that is advantageous to the player and performs navigation. In addition, in the pachinko game machine, this is a jackpot game state in which a round game advantageous to the player can be executed a predetermined number of times.

In a pachinko game machine, when a game ball enters a starting winning hole, it is determined by lottery whether or not to generate a big win. Based on the winning of the game ball into the starting winning hole, the liquid crystal display 51 performs the variable display of the performance symbols. When a big win is achieved, a big win pattern is derived and displayed as a result of variable display. After the big win, it is controlled to the big win game state.

The main control unit 41 executes a lottery for determining whether or not to give a privilege advantageous to the player when a predetermined condition is satisfied. For example, in a slot machine, the predetermined condition is established by winning a predetermined combination (for example, cherry) in an internal lottery executed when the start switch is operated. In a pachinko game machine, a predetermined condition is established when a game ball enters a starting winning hole.

In the slot machine, the benefits are a bonus win, an AT win (giving the number of AT games), and an extra win in which the number of AT games is given in addition to the number of AT games during AT. The bonus includes RB (regular bonus) and BB (big bonus) with different payout numbers. In a pachinko game machine, the privilege is the occurrence of a big hit. The big wins include normal big wins and probability variable big wins in which the probability of getting a big win after the big win game state is over is higher than in the normal state. The big wins include a big win in which the round game is executed twice and a big win in which the round game is executed 16 times.

In the normal state or the advantageous state, a game image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as an effect of the normal state or the advantageous state. The game image is an image that allows the player to recognize from the outside that he or she is playing a game. In the normal state, a specific effect, which will be described later, can be executed. A normal display is performed in a normal state in which the specific effect is not executed. In this case, as the normal display, a game image showing that the character is walking is displayed together with a background image of the city showing the normal state. When the specific effect is executed in the normal state, the specific effect image is displayed as the game image. In the advantageous state, an advantageous state image is displayed as a game image.

[Outline of various productions]
First, in the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, various effects executed by the sub-controller 91 will be described. The sub control unit 91 grasps the state of the game based on commands from the main control unit 41, and executes various effects using the effect data stored in the RAM 91c.

(Specific production)
The sub-controller 91 can execute a plurality of types of specific effects. The specific effect is a effect that suggests giving a privilege. The plurality of types of specific effects include battle effects and premium effects. The battle presentation includes a battle presentation A and a battle presentation B.

Battle effects are effects that are executed regardless of whether or not a privilege is given. That is, as a result of executing the battle production, the privilege may not be given. An example of the battle effect will be described later mainly with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. FIG.

On the other hand, the premium effect is a effect that is executed only when a privilege is given. That is, as a result of executing the premium effect, some privilege is always given. An example of premium effects will be described later with reference to FIG.

Privilege includes plural kinds of privileges. Privilege A and privilege B are included in the plurality of types of privileges. Details of the privilege will be described later with reference to FIG.

In the specific effect, a predetermined sound is output according to the progress of the specific effect. Also, subtitles can be displayed in the specific effect. Subtitle display is display corresponding to a predetermined sound. For example, a character appearing in a specific production speaks a line. The words uttered by the character are output from the speaker 53 as voice. Correspondingly, the words uttered by the character are displayed as captions on the liquid crystal display 51 by means of caption display.

For example, the speaker 53 outputs "Kurae!"

In the battle production, the liquid crystal display 51 displays a production image in which a friendly character and an enemy character fight. Then, a series of battles are conducted, and whether the ally character finally wins or loses the enemy character is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.例文帳に追加In the slot machine, battle effects may be executed over a plurality of games (for example, 4 games). In a pachinko game machine, a battle effect may be executed for a predetermined period (for example, one minute) as a ready-to-win effect.

In the battle effect, either specific display or non-specific display is performed from a specific timing. A specific display is a display corresponding to the provision of a privilege. Non-specific indications are indications that are different from specific indications. A specific display is performed when a privilege is granted, and a non-specific display is performed when a privilege is not granted.

The specific display is, when it is decided to give a privilege, a display made corresponding to the privilege decided to be given. In the specific display, a display is provided to suggest to the player that the granting of the privilege has been determined. By performing the specific display, the player can recognize that the granting of the privilege has already been determined and that the state will shift to an advantageous state after the specific display ends. In the specific display, a display is provided that makes the player guess that the granting of the privilege has been decided.

On the other hand, in the non-specific display, there is no display suggesting to the player that the granting of the privilege has been decided. For example, in the non-specific display, a display is provided that makes the player guess that awarding of the privilege may not have been decided. It should be noted that the non-specific display may be performed when the provision of the privilege has not been determined, or the non-specific display may be performed when the provision of the privilege has been determined. In the latter case, after the non-specific display ends, the specific display may be performed again.

In the present embodiment, as the specific display, an advantageous display in which a moving image of a victory pattern in which the ally character wins over the enemy character is reproduced. Further, as the non-specific display, a non-advantageous display in which a moving image of a defeat pattern in which a friend character is defeated by an enemy character is reproduced is performed.

When the ally character finally wins or loses the enemy character in the battle production, the result is reported. When the animation of the victory pattern is reproduced and the ally character wins over the enemy character, an effect of displaying a character image of "WIN" on the liquid crystal display 51 is executed as a result notification. As a result, the player is informed that the granting of the privilege has been determined.

On the other hand, when the moving image of the defeat pattern is reproduced and the ally character is defeated by the enemy character, the screen of the liquid crystal display 51 is darkened (turned dark) as a result notification. In this case, the player is not notified that the privilege will be awarded. However, in this case, the specific effect may be executed again after the battle effect is executed as the resurrection effect. For this reason, even if the ally character is defeated by the enemy character, it is possible that the privilege will be granted.

To display subtitles in a predetermined color (hereinafter also referred to as a "specific color") without changing the color of the subtitle display when performing the subtitle display during advantageous display in the battle production. For example, the specific color is rainbow. That is, in the battle production, if the caption is displayed while the advantageous display is being performed, the caption is always displayed in rainbow colors. When the subtitle display is displayed in rainbow colors, the subtitle image is displayed in seven colors like a rainbow. In the present embodiment, the specific color also includes a rainbow color that is not a single color. In the battle effect, when subtitles are displayed before the specific timing, the subtitles are displayed in a color different from the specific color (hereinafter also referred to as "predetermined color"). For example, the predetermined color is white.

For example, when a moving image indicating advantageous display is being reproduced, a player who is not accustomed to the game may not be able to determine whether or not the moving image is advantageous display. When subtitles are displayed while advantageous display is being performed after a specific timing, by displaying subtitles in a rainbow color, it becomes easy to understand that advantageous display is being performed even by the color of the subtitles display. Therefore, the player can recognize that the advantageous display is being performed by distinguishing it from other displays. In addition, since the subtitle display is a display of characters, the player's attention is likely to be attracted to the subtitle display. As a result, it is possible to improve the amusement of the game related to subtitle display.

When the sub-control unit 91 performs the subtitle display while the advantageous display is being performed, the sub-control unit 91 changes the subtitle display depending on whether the battle effect being executed is the battle effect A or the battle effect B, Caption display is performed in a specific color regardless of whether the battle performance being executed is battle performance A or battle performance B.例文帳に追加

For example, if the subtitle is displayed while the advantageous display is being performed, and if the battle effect being executed is the battle effect A, the subtitle is displayed with the subtitle image "Chance!" (for example, FIG. 7(a3)). If the battle effect being executed is the battle effect B, the subtitle image "Let's go!" is displayed (for example, FIG. 7(b3)). On the other hand, regardless of whether the battle effect being executed is battle effect A or battle effect B, subtitles are displayed in rainbow colors.

For example, the moving image reproduced in the battle production A and the moving image reproduced in the battle production B may differ. In such a case, a player unfamiliar with the game may not be able to determine whether or not the moving image being reproduced is advantageous display. Regardless of whether the battle effect being executed is the battle effect A or the battle effect B, the subtitle display during the advantageous display is displayed in rainbow colors so that the advantageous display is performed depending on the color of the subtitle display. easier to understand. In addition, since the subtitle display is a display of characters, the player's attention is likely to be attracted to the subtitle display. Therefore, the player can recognize that the advantageous display is being performed by distinguishing it from other displays. As a result, it is possible to improve the amusement of the game related to subtitle display.

When subtitle display is performed during advantageous display, the sub-control unit 91 changes the mode of subtitle display according to which of the plurality of types of battle effects the battle effect being executed is, To display subtitles in a specific color regardless of which of a plurality of types of battle presentations the battle presentation being executed is. On the other hand, when the sub-control unit 91 performs the subtitle display while the non-advantageous display is being performed, the sub-control unit 91 determines the mode of the subtitle display according to which of the plurality of types of battle effects the battle effect being executed is. , while the subtitles are displayed in a color different from the specific color (for example, a predetermined color) irrespective of which of the plurality of types of battle effects the battle effect being executed is.

For example, if the subtitles are displayed while the advantageous display is being performed, and if the battle effect being executed is the battle effect A, then the subtitles are displayed with the subtitle image "I did it!" ), and if the battle effect being executed is the battle effect B, the subtitle image is displayed with the subtitle image “Ikeru!” (for example, FIG. 3(h)). or battle effect B, subtitles are displayed in rainbow colors (for example, FIG. 2(h), FIG. 3(h)).

On the other hand, if the subtitles are displayed while the non-advantageous display is being performed, and if the battle effect being executed is the battle effect A, the subtitles are displayed using the subtitle image "No" (for example, FIG. 2 (m)), and if the battle effect being executed is the battle effect B, the subtitle image is displayed as a subtitle image "I can't" (for example, FIG. 3(m)), while the battle effect being executed is the battle effect A Subtitles are displayed in white regardless of whether it is , or battle effect B (for example, FIG. 2(m), FIG. 3(m)).

In addition, when the sub-control unit 91 performs subtitle display before the specific timing, the sub-control unit 91 changes the color of the subtitle display according to the rate at which the privilege is given. On the other hand, when subtitle display is performed during advantageous display, the sub-control unit 91 sets the subtitle display to a predetermined color (for example, a specific color) without changing the color of the subtitle display. , and when subtitles are displayed while the non-advantageous display is being performed, the subtitles are displayed in a color different from the specific color (for example, a predetermined color).

For example, when subtitles are displayed before a specific timing, the colors of the subtitles are changed between white and blue according to the rate at which benefits are given. On the other hand, when subtitles are displayed during advantageous display, the subtitles are displayed in rainbow colors without changing the colors of the subtitles (for example, FIGS. 2(f) and 2(h)). When the caption is displayed while the non-advantageous display is being performed, the caption is displayed in white (for example, FIG. 2(m)). Specifically, it will be described later using FIGS. 6(d1) and (d2). Hereinafter, in the present embodiment, except for the explanation using FIGS. 6(d1) and (d2), it is assumed that white is determined as the predetermined color.

Further, the sub-control unit 91 can perform a chance-up display during execution of the specific effect. The chance-up display is a display that makes the player expect to receive a privilege in the battle presentation. In this embodiment, when the chance-up display is performed, the color of a part of the battle effect image displayed when the chance-up display is not performed is changed to an expected color. For example, the expected color is red.

Further, when a privilege is given, the chance-up display is performed at a higher rate than when the privilege is not given. When subtitles are displayed during the chance-up display period, the subtitles are displayed in an expected color (red) different from the subtitle display color during the period in which the chance-up display is not performed. Details of the chance-up display will be described later with reference to FIG.

In this way, when subtitles are displayed during a period in which the chance-up display is performed to make the player expect that the bonus will be given, the subtitles are displayed in red, which is different from the color of the subtitles displayed during the period in which the chance-up display is not performed. Therefore, it becomes easy for the player to understand that the chance-up display is being performed. As a result, it is possible to improve the amusement of the game related to subtitle display.

Then, as shown in FIG. 3(i), the liquid crystal display 51 displays an image of the enemy character C which has flew in the air and is slammed into the ground and unable to move. As a result, the ally character A wins against the enemy character C.

Next, as shown in FIG. 3(j), result notification is performed. In the notification of the result, the character image of "WIN" is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 because the ally character has defeated the enemy character. Thereby, the provision of the privilege is notified. The privilege given here is the privilege A.

Next, a case where non-advantageous display is performed will be described. In this example, it is assumed that a non-advantageous display is performed because no privilege has been decided.

When the specific timing comes, the non-advantageous display is started. At this time, as shown in FIG. 3(k), reproduction of a defeat pattern animation in which ally character A is defeated starts. First, the liquid crystal display 51 displays an image in which the enemy character C is confident of victory, and the enemy character C is displayed in a large size in the center of the screen while emitting light.

Then, when the reproduction of the motion picture of the defeat pattern progresses further, an image in which the enemy character C makes a final attack on the friend character A is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, as shown in FIG. 3(l). Then, as shown in FIG. 3(m), the liquid crystal display 51 displays an image in which the ally character A, which has been attacked by the enemy character C, flies in the air. At this time, the voice "I can't" corresponding to the words uttered by the ally character A who is sure of defeat is output from the speaker 53, and a white caption image "I can't" corresponding to the voice is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.例文帳に追加

Then, as shown in FIG. 3(n), the liquid crystal display 51 displays an image of the ally character A who is stuck in the air and hits the ground. As a result, the ally character A is defeated by the enemy character C. Next, as shown in FIG. 3(o), result notification is performed. In the notification of the result, the screen of the liquid crystal display 51 becomes dark (turns black) because the friend character has been defeated by the enemy character. Thereby, it is not notified that the privilege has been granted.

[An example of premiere effect and battle effect A]
FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining an example of a premium effect and a battle effect A. FIG. FIGS. 4(a1)-(a6) explain the premium effect, and FIGS. 4(b1)-(b6) explain the battle effect A. FIG.

As will be described later with reference to FIG. 6, when subtitles are displayed in the battle effect, it is possible to change the color of the subtitles display between white and blue according to the rate at which benefits are awarded. On the other hand, when subtitles are displayed in the premium effect, the subtitles are displayed in a predetermined color (hereinafter also referred to as "special color") without changing the color of the subtitles. For example, the special color is gold. That is, when subtitles are displayed in the premium effect, the subtitles are always displayed in gold. The special color may be the same color as the specific color or the predetermined color, and the specific color may be the same color as the predetermined color.

In this way, in the premium effect, subtitles are displayed in one color without changing the color of the subtitle display, so that the player can easily understand that the premium effect is being executed. As a result, it is possible to improve the amusement of the game related to subtitle display.

First, an example of the premium effect will be described. It is assumed that the normal state is currently controlled and the normal display is being performed. As shown in FIG. 4(a1), the liquid crystal display 51 displays an image showing a character walking together with a background image of the city.

Next, it is assumed that execution of the premium effect is determined by lottery. When the conditions for executing the premium effect are satisfied, the premium effect is executed as shown in FIG. 4(a2). An image in which stars can be seen in the sky is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 .

At the start of the premium effect, a premium suggestive display is performed. The premium suggestive display is a display that suggests execution of a premium effect. The premium suggestive display is performed by displaying a premium suggestive image including the character image "premium".

When the premium suggestive display ends, an image showing the appearance of a girl character holding a magic stick is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, as shown in FIG. 4(a3). A voice "Let's go!" corresponding to the lines of the girl character is output from the speaker 53, and a gold caption image "Let's go!" corresponding to the voice is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

As the premium effect progresses further, an image showing a girl character approaching a star is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, as shown in FIG. 4(a4). Further, as shown in FIG. 4(a5), the liquid crystal display 51 displays an image of a girl character casting a spell on a star. At this time, a voice "Hey!"

Then, when the magic is finished, the character image of "OK" is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as shown in FIG. 4(a6). As a result, the provision of the benefit B is notified. Only privilege B is given in the premium presentation.

Next, an example of the battle effect A will be described. Since the contents of FIGS. 4(b1) to (b6) are the same as those of FIGS. 2(a) to (j), the details are omitted.

In FIG. 4(b1), normal display is performed as in FIG. 4(a1). By determining the execution of the battle production A, the battle production A is executed as shown in FIG. 3(b2). At the start of the battle production A, the title of the battle production A is notified.

As the battle effect progresses, an image of the friend character A attacking the enemy character B is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, as shown in FIG. 4(b3). At this time, the voice "Kurae!"

It is assumed that the battle production progresses further and a specific timing has come. At this time, the advantageous display is started. As shown in FIG. 4(b4), reproduction of a winning pattern animation in which ally character A wins starts. A voice “Chance!” is output from the speaker 53 and a rainbow-colored caption image “Chance!”

Furthermore, when the reproduction of the winning pattern animation progresses further, an image of the enemy character B being attacked by the friend character A flying in the air is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, as shown in FIG. 4(b5). At this time, the voice “I did it” is output from the speaker 53 and the rainbow-colored caption image “I did it” is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 .

When the ally character A wins against the enemy character B, as shown in FIG. 4(b6), the liquid crystal display 51 displays a character image of "WIN" to notify the result. Thereby, the provision of the privilege is notified. The privilege given here is A.

In this way, in the battle production, if the subtitles are displayed before the specific timing, the subtitles are displayed in white, and if the subtitles are displayed during the advantageous display after the specific timing, the subtitles are displayed in rainbow colors. While it is done in color, in the battle production, subtitles are always displayed in gold.

[Generation of images used for specific effects and subtitles displayed in specific effects]
FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining generation of an image used for a specific effect and subtitles displayed in the specific effect.

First, a method for generating an image used for a specific effect will be described. The liquid crystal display 51 displays an image C corresponding to the specific effect in the specific effect. Image C corresponding to the specific effect is composed of image A (specific effect image) and image B (subtitle image and subtitle background image) corresponding to subtitle display.

The ROM 91b provided in the gaming machine 1 stores image data used in various effects. The ROM 91b stores image data A used for displaying the image A and image data B used for displaying the image B. FIG.

Image data A is data compressed at a first rate. Image data B is data that is uncompressed or compressed at a second rate that is lower than the first rate. By compressing the image file and storing it in the ROM 91b in this way, the capacity of the image file stored in the ROM 91b is reduced.

A specific description will be given below. For example, what is shown in FIG. 5(a) is an example of an image (image C) displayed when the battle effect A is executed, and is the same as that described using FIG. 2(c). The ROM 91b stores image data A used for displaying a specific effect image (image A).

Also, as described above, the subtitle image is displayed together with the subtitle background image. In this embodiment, the ROM 91b stores an image (image B) in which the caption image is superimposed on the front side of the caption background image. The ROM 91b stores image data B used for displaying the image B. FIG.

Image data A is composed of a plurality of types of image data. Specifically, it is composed of N pieces of image data A1, A2, A3, . . . AN. Image data B is also composed of a plurality of types of image data. Specifically, it is composed of M pieces of image data B1, image B2, image B3, . . . BM. Image data A1 and image data B1 are illustrated in FIG. 5(a). Also, the images displayed in FIGS. 5B to 5D2 are images generated from any one of image data A and image data B. FIG.

In the present embodiment, if the caption image has the same lines but different colors, it is stored in the ROM 91b as separate image data. In such a case, if the lines are the same even if the colors are different, the same image data may be stored in the ROM 91b. In this case, processing for changing the color of the character portion may be performed when the image data is read. By doing so, it is possible to reduce the capacity of the image files stored in the ROM 91b.

The sub-controller 91 acquires the image data stored in the ROM 91 b and processes the acquired image data to generate an image to be displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 . The generated image is displayed on the display area of the liquid crystal display 51 . In this embodiment, the display area of the liquid crystal display 51 refers to the entire display area of the liquid crystal display 51 shown in FIG. 1(B).

For example, as shown in FIG. 5A, the ROM 91b stores image data A1 used for displaying the image A1 and image data B1 used for displaying the image B1. The image data A1 is data compressed at a compression rate A, and the image data B1 is uncompressed data. The sub control unit 91 acquires the image data A1 and the image data B1, and processes them to generate an image C1 corresponding to the battle effect. The liquid crystal display 51 displays the image C1 in the battle effect.

If the image data used to display the character display image is excessively compressed, the characters will be blurred or crushed, making it difficult to recognize the characters. A method of storing the integrated image data C in the ROM 91 without separating the image data A and the image data B as described above is also conceivable. However, in this case, by compressing the image data C, even the characters are blurred or crushed. By doing so, the character display image becomes clearer, and the player can easily recognize the character of the caption display.

Next, subtitles displayed in the specific effect will be described. FIG. 5(b) explains the subtitles displayed in the premium effect, FIGS. 5(c1) to (c3) explain the subtitles displayed in the battle effect A, and FIG. 5(d1). (d3) describes subtitles displayed in the battle effect B. FIG.

As described above, when performing subtitle display, the sub-controller 91 performs subtitle display and subtitle background display corresponding to the subtitle display. Subtitle background display is performed by displaying a subtitle background image. The subtitle background image is, for example, a horizontally long rectangular image as shown in FIG. 5(b).

The color of the caption background image is preferably a color that makes the characters of the caption easy to see when the caption background is displayed together with the caption display, and is not confused with the character color of the caption. For example, in the present embodiment, captions are displayed in white, iridescent, red, blue, or the like, so the caption background image may be black, gray, or the like, which can be easily distinguished from them.

When displaying subtitles, the same subtitle background image is displayed regardless of the color of the subtitle display. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 2(b) to (d3), the same caption background image is displayed in the specific effects (premier effect, battle effect A, battle effect B).

Also, the caption display is displayed at a predetermined position within the display area of the liquid crystal display 51 . The predetermined position is a position where the display height is the same within the display area. The display height is the vertical position in the display area. For example, the subtitle background image may be displayed such that the lower end of the subtitle background image is positioned at a predetermined distance upward from the lower end of the display area.

For example, in the battle effect A, if subtitles are displayed before a specific timing ((c1) in FIG. 5), or if characters are displayed while the chance-up display is being performed ((c2) in FIG. 5) ), the display height in the display area of the liquid crystal display 51 where the subtitle display is displayed is the same as in the case where the subtitle is displayed while the advantageous display is being performed after the specific timing (FIG. 5(c3)). be. The same applies to the battle production B as well.

Further, when subtitles are displayed in the battle effect A, when subtitles are displayed in the battle effect B, and when subtitles are displayed in the premiere effect, the display of the liquid crystal display 51 on which the subtitles are displayed is displayed. The display height in the regions is the same.

Further, when character display is performed while the chance-up display is being performed, the liquid crystal display on which the character display is displayed regardless of whether the battle effect being executed is battle effect A or battle effect B. The display height in the display area of 51 is the same.

Further, as described above, in the battle effects A and B, when the subtitles are displayed before the specific timing, the subtitles are displayed in a predetermined color (white), and after the specific timing, the subtitles are displayed while the advantageous display is being performed. When displaying, subtitles are displayed in a specific color (rainbow color), and when subtitles are displayed during the chance-up display period, subtitles are displayed in an expected color (red). Also, when subtitles are displayed in the premium effect, the subtitles are displayed in a special color (gold). The predetermined color is a color that is basically used for caption display in the battle production. Hereinafter, the "predetermined color" is also referred to as "the color of caption display in the battle effect".

In addition, in the case of displaying subtitles before a specific timing, there are two cases: when displaying subtitles during advantageous display after the specific timing, and when displaying subtitles during the period when chance-up display is performed. In each case, depending on whether the battle effect being executed is battle effect A or battle effect B, subtitle display is made different.

For example, when performing subtitle display before a specific timing, if the battle effect being executed is battle effect A, subtitle display is performed with the subtitle image “Kurae!” If the battle effect is battle effect B, the subtitle image is displayed with the subtitle image "How is it?" (FIG. 5(d1)). Caption display is performed in white regardless of whether or not ((c1), (d1) in FIG. 5).

In this embodiment, red is used as the special color, and white is used as the subtitle display color (predetermined color) in the battle effect, but the present invention is not limited to this. As modification A, the special color may be the same as the predetermined color. For example, the subtitle display color in the premium effect shown in FIG. 5B may be changed to white, which is the subtitle display color in the battle effect. White is the color with the lowest degree of expectation among the multiple types of caption display colors. By doing so, since the subtitle display is not conspicuous, it is possible to increase the player's attention to the premium effect.

Further, in the present embodiment, the special color is red, the caption display color (predetermined color) in the battle effect is white, and the specific color is rainbow. You may make it differ from the color of a caption display. Also, the special color may be the same color as the specific color. For example, the subtitle display color in the premium effect shown in FIG. In this case, the special color and the specific color are the same, and both are rainbow colors. By doing so, it is possible to make the player more strongly aware that the premium effect is being executed.

The sub-control unit 91 changes the mode of the chance-up display according to which of the plurality of types of battle effects the battle effect being executed is. On the other hand, when the background display is performed while the chance-up display is being performed, the sub-control unit 91 displays the subtitles in the expected color regardless of which of the plurality of battle effects the battle effect being executed is. conduct.

For example, as shown in FIGS. 5(c2) and (d2), a chance-up background, which will be described later, is made different depending on whether the battle effect being executed is battle effect A or battle effect B. FIG. On the other hand, regardless of whether the battle effect being executed is battle effect A or battle effect B, subtitles are displayed in red.

In the battle production A of FIG. 5(c2), a chance-up background is displayed in which the sky area above the Colosseum is displayed in red. A chance-up background is displayed in which the sky area except for the clouds is displayed in red.

[Benefits given in specific production]
FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining the privilege given in the specific effect. 6(a1) and 6(a2) illustrate the benefits given in the premium effect, FIGS. 6(b1) to 6(b3) in the battle effect A, and FIGS. 6(c1) to 6(c3) in the battle effect B. be. Also, FIGS. 6(d1) and (d2) explain the relationship between the predetermined color and the privilege.

The flows of FIGS. 6(a1) and (a2) are the same as those explained using FIGS. 4(a1) to (a6), and the flows of FIGS. 6(b1) to (b3) are explained using FIG. 6(c1) to (c3) are the same as those described with reference to FIG. 3, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the privilege A and the privilege B are included in the privilege that can be given by a lottery performed when a predetermined condition is met. In addition, when a predetermined condition is established, it is determined by lottery whether or not to execute any of the premium effect, battle effect A, and battle effect B (executability of the specific effect is determined by lottery). ). Moreover, even when execution of the specific effect is determined, there are cases where the privilege is given and cases where the privilege is not given.

Privilege B is more advantageous than privilege A. For example, if the gaming machine 1 is a slot machine, the benefits may be bonus winning, AT winning, and additional winning, as described above. When the privilege is bonus winning, privilege A is RB winning and privilege B is BB winning. BB has a higher advantage than RB because the number of payouts is larger than that of RB. When the privilege is AT winning, the number of AT games given at the time of AT winning is greater for privilege B than for privilege A. - 特許庁When the privilege is an extra winning, the number of AT games given at the time of the extra winning is greater for the privilege B than for the privilege A. - 特許庁

When the gaming machine 1 is a pachinko gaming machine, the privilege is the occurrence of a big hit. For example, the privilege A is a big win in which the round game is executed twice, and the privilege B is a big win in which the round game is executed 16 times. Also, the privilege A may be a normal jackpot, and the privilege B may be a probability variable jackpot. In either case, the benefit B has a higher advantage than the benefit A because the number of balls finally obtained is larger.

Further, in the present embodiment, when it is decided to grant the privilege B due to the establishment of the predetermined condition, the rate at which the execution of the premium presentation is decided is higher than the rate at which the execution of the battle presentation A is decided. Whether or not the specific performance is to be executed is determined by a lottery so that the rate at which the execution of the battle performance A is determined is higher than the rate at which the execution of the battle performance B is determined. That is, the degree of expectation that the privilege B is given is higher in the order of the premium effect, the battle effect A, and the battle effect B.

Further, when it is determined that the privilege A is given due to the establishment of a predetermined condition, the rate at which the execution of the battle presentation A is decided is higher than the rate at which the execution of the battle presentation B is decided by lottery. It is determined whether or not the performance can be executed. That is, the degree of expectation that the privilege A is given is higher in the order of the battle effect A and the battle effect B. It should be noted that the premium effect will not be executed when the provision of the privilege A is determined.

In addition, when the provision of the privilege is not determined due to the establishment of the predetermined condition, the determination is made by lottery so that the rate at which the execution of the battle presentation B is determined is higher than the rate at which the execution of the battle presentation A is determined. It is determined whether or not the performance can be executed. In other words, the rate at which the non-advantageous display is finally performed is higher in the battle presentation B than in the battle presentation A. In addition, when granting of the privilege is not determined, the premium effect is not executed.

As described above, the execution of the premium effect is determined only when it is determined that the privilege B is to be given. Therefore, when the premium effect is executed, the privilege B, which is more advantageous than the privilege A, is always awarded (granting of the privilege B is confirmed). Further, when the battle effect A or the battle effect B is executed, there is a possibility that the privilege A or the privilege B is given (the privilege may not be given).

Further, when the premier production is executed, the award of the privilege B having a higher degree of advantage than the privilege A is confirmed, and when the battle production A is executed, the privilege A and the bonus are higher than when the battle production B is executed. The rate at which privilege B is granted is high.

That is, the degree of advantage (expectation) regarding the granting of benefits suggested in the premium presentation is higher than the degree of benefit regarding the granting of benefits suggested in the battle presentation A, and the degree of advantage regarding the granting of benefits suggested in the battle presentation A. is higher than the advantage regarding the awarding of the benefit suggested in the battle presentation B. In other words, it can be said that the degree of expectation is higher in the order of the premium effect, the battle effect A, and the battle effect B.

As shown in FIG. 6(a2), in the premium effect, when the character image "confirmed" is finally displayed, the provision of privilege B is notified. As shown in FIG. 6(b3), when the character image "WIN" is finally displayed in the battle effect A, granting of the privilege A or privilege B is reported. As shown in FIG. 6(c3), when the character image of "WIN" is finally displayed in the battle effect B, the provision of the privilege A or the privilege B is announced.

As described above, if subtitles are displayed while advantageous displays are being performed in battle effects A and B, privilege A or privilege B is given. As shown in FIGS. 6(b2) and (c2), when subtitles are displayed while advantageous display is being performed, subtitles are displayed regardless of whether the privilege to be granted is privilege A or privilege B. Do it in rainbow colors.

For example, if the color of the subtitle display during advantageous display is changed according to the privilege to be granted, a player who is not accustomed to the game may not be able to determine whether or not the video being reproduced is advantageous display. In some cases. Regardless of whether the privilege to be granted is privilege A or privilege B, by displaying subtitles during advantageous display in rainbow colors, it becomes easy to understand that the advantageous display is being performed by the color of the subtitle display. . In addition, since the subtitle display is a display of characters, the player's attention is likely to be attracted to the subtitle display. Therefore, the player can recognize that the advantageous display is being performed by distinguishing it from other displays. As a result, it is possible to improve the amusement of the game related to subtitle display.

Next, the relationship between the predetermined color and the privilege will be explained. In the present embodiment, when execution of the battle effect (battle effect A or battle effect B) is determined by lottery, a predetermined color is determined by lottery. There are multiple types of predetermined colors. For example, white or blue is determined as the predetermined color.

As described above, when the subtitles are displayed before the specific timing, the color of the subtitles (predetermined color) is changed between white and blue according to the rate at which the privilege is given. Specifically, when it is decided to give the privilege B, blue is more likely to be decided as the predetermined color than when it is decided to give the privilege A, and when it is decided to give the privilege A, Blue is more likely to be determined as the predetermined color than when no benefit is determined. In other words, it can be said that expectations are higher in the order of caption display in blue and caption display in white.

For example, as shown in FIG. 6(d1), when white is determined as the predetermined color, caption display is performed in white when caption display is performed before the specific timing. Further, as shown in FIG. 6(d2), when blue is determined as the predetermined color, subtitle display is performed in blue when subtitle display is performed before the specific timing. Note that when the caption is displayed while the advantageous display is being performed after the specific timing, the caption may be displayed in white or in blue.

In this way, in the battle production, subtitles are displayed in multiple colors before the specific timing, while subtitles are displayed in one color during the advantageous display after the specific timing. It becomes easy for the player to understand that the display is being performed. As a result, it is possible to improve the amusement of the game related to subtitle display.

[Difference between battle production A and battle production B]
FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining the difference between the battle effect A and the battle effect B. FIG. 7(a1) to (a5) explain the battle effect A, and FIGS. 7(b1) to (b5) explain the battle effect B. FIG. The contents of FIGS. 7(a1) to (a5) are the same as the contents of FIGS. 2(a) to (j), and the contents of FIGS. 7(b1) to (b5) are the contents of FIGS. Since it is the same as the content, the details are omitted.

First, the battle production A will be explained. As shown in FIG. 7(a1), when the battle effect A starts to be executed, the title of the battle effect A is notified. As the battle effect progresses, a white subtitle image "Kurae!" is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as shown in FIG. 7(a2).

When the specific timing comes, the advantageous display is started. At this time, as shown in FIG. 7(a3), reproduction of a winning pattern animation in which ally character A wins starts. At this time, a rainbow-colored subtitle image “Chance!” is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 .

When the reproduction of the victory pattern animation progresses further, the liquid crystal display 51 displays an image in which the ally character A makes a final attack on the enemy character B, as shown in FIG. 7(a4). When the ally character A finally wins against the enemy character B, the result is reported as shown in FIG. 7(a5). A character image of “WIN” is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 . In this example, privilege A is given.

Next, the battle production B will be explained. As shown in FIG. 7(b1), when the execution of the battle effect B is started, the title of the battle effect B is notified. As the battle effect progresses, a white subtitle image "How's it going?" is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as shown in FIG. 7(b2). Compared to the case of FIG. 7(a2), the caption image is displayed in the same color (white), but the display content is different.

When the specific timing comes, the advantageous display is started. At this time, as shown in FIG. 7(b3), reproduction of a winning pattern animation in which ally character A wins starts. At this time, a rainbow-colored caption image “Let’s go!” is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 . Compared to the case of FIG. 7(a3), the caption image is displayed in the same color (rainbow color), but the display content is different.

When the reproduction of the victory pattern animation progresses further, the liquid crystal display 51 displays an image in which the ally character A makes a final attack on the enemy character C, as shown in FIG. 7(b4). Then, when the ally character A finally wins against the enemy character C, the result is reported as shown in FIG. 7(b5). In this example, privilege A is given.

In this example, both the battle effect A and the battle effect B are given the privilege A, but the same privilege may be given, or different benefits may be given. Also, when applied to a slot machine, for example, AT may be given in the battle presentation A, and an additional number of games may be given in the battle presentation B. FIG.

[Chance up display]
FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining an example of the chance-up display. FIGS. 8(a1) to 8(a4) explain the chance up display when the battle effect A is executed, and FIGS. 8(b1) to 8(b4) explain the chance up display when the battle effect B is executed. FIG. 8(c1) and (c2) explain the execution timing of the chance-up display.

The contents of FIGS. 8(a1) to (a4) are the same as the contents of FIGS. 2(a) to (j), and the contents of FIGS. 8(b1) to (b4) are the same as those of FIGS. is the same as the content of , the detailed description is omitted.

As described above, when the privilege is given, the chance-up display is performed at a higher rate than when the privilege is not given. For example, when a predetermined condition is satisfied, it is determined by lottery whether to perform the chance-up display from timing A, to perform the chance-up display from timing B, or not to perform the chance-up display. Timing B is a timing later than timing A.

When the privilege is granted, the rate of determining the chance-up display at the timing B is higher than the rate of determining the chance-up display at the timing A, and the rate of determining the chance-up display at the timing A is higher. The decision is made so as to be higher than the rate of not deciding to display the chance up. In other words, it can be said that the degree of expectation is higher in the order of chance-up display at timing B, chance-up display at timing A, and no chance-up display.

First, the case where the battle effect A is executed will be described. As shown in FIG. 8( a 1 ), when the battle effect progresses and caption display is performed before the specific timing, a white caption image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 .

Furthermore, when the battle effect progresses, if the chance-up display is not performed, the process transitions to FIG. 8(a2), and if the chance-up display is performed, the process transitions to FIG. 8(a3).

When the chance-up display is not performed, as shown in FIG. 8(a2), a battle effect image with the Colosseum as a background is displayed. And the sky area above the Colosseum is shown in light blue.

On the other hand, when the chance-up display is performed, as shown in FIG. is displayed. The background of the area changed to the expected color in this way is called a chance-up background. This background image is called a chance-up background image.

The chance-up display is performed over a predetermined period. When subtitle display is performed during the period of chance-up display, the chance-up background image is displayed in a region different from the region where the subtitle image corresponding to the subtitle display is displayed. In the present embodiment, "an area different from the area where the subtitle image is displayed" means that when the player visually recognizes the chance-up background image and the subtitle image, the two are not recognized as one, and each This means that the chance-up background image is displayed in an area (a position avoiding the subtitle image) that is far enough to identify the .

In addition, when subtitles are displayed during the chance-up display period, the subtitle image corresponding to the subtitle display is displayed in the same or similar color as the color of the chance-up background image that can identify the chance-up display. Is displayed. In the present embodiment, the term “similar color” means that when the player views the chance-up background image and the caption image, the colors are close enough to make them feel similar. . For example, both colors are red and pink close to red.

In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8(a3), when subtitles are displayed during the chance-up period, the subtitles are displayed in red, which is the same color as the chance-up background image. In this example, when the chance-up display ends, it becomes a specific timing and switches to the advantageous display.

When the specific timing comes, the advantageous display is started. At this time, a rainbow caption image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, as shown in FIG. 8(a4).

Next, the case where the battle effect B is executed will be described. As shown in FIG. 8(b1), when the battle effect progresses and caption display is performed before the specific timing, a white caption image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. As shown in FIG.

Further, when the battle effect progresses, if the chance-up display is not performed, the process transitions to FIG. 8(b2), and if the chance-up display is performed, the process transitions to FIG. 8(b3). When the chance-up display is not performed, as shown in FIG. 8B2, a chance-up background image is displayed in which the sky region above the horizon excluding clouds is the expected color (red). Also, a white caption image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 .

On the other hand, when the chance-up display is performed, the chance-up background is displayed. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8B3, by displaying the chance-up background, the sky area excluding clouds above the horizon is displayed in the expected color (red). Compared to the case of FIG. 8(a3), the subtitle image is displayed in the same color (red), but the display mode of the chance-up display is different. In this example, when the chance-up display ends, it becomes a specific timing and switches to the advantageous display.

When the specific timing comes, the advantageous display is started. At this time, a rainbow caption image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as shown in FIG. 8(b4).

Next, the execution timing of the chance-up display will be described. The sub-control unit 91 can perform the chance-up display at any one of a plurality of types of timing during the execution period of the battle effect.

For example, it may be executed at a timing before a specific timing or at a timing when the display is switched to advantageous display or non-advantageous display. If it is executed at the timing of switching to the advantageous display or the non-advantageous display, the timing when the chance up display ends becomes the specific timing, and the advantageous display or the non-advantageous display is performed.

The sub-control unit 91 changes the mode of the chance-up display according to the timing of the chance-up display, and when the subtitle display is performed during the period of the chance-up display, the chance-up display is performed at a plurality of timings. Subtitles are displayed in the expected color, regardless of which method is used.

In addition, when subtitles are displayed during the period when the chance-up display is performed, the display height in the display area where the subtitles are displayed is are the same.

For example, as shown in FIG. 8(c1), it is possible to perform a chance-up display from timing A during the execution period of the battle effect. Timing A is timing before the specific timing. In this example, the sky area above the Colosseum is displayed in the expected color (red) by displaying the chance-up background.

Subtitles are displayed in red. The chance-up display started from the timing A is performed over the period A. Period A is the same as the period during which ally character A attacks enemy character B when the chance up display shown in FIG. 2(c) and FIG. 8(a1) is not performed. That is, during the period A during which the ally character A is attacking the enemy character B, the background image is replaced with the chance-up background image.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8(c2), it is possible to perform the chance-up display from the timing B during the execution period of the battle effect. Timing B is the timing for switching to advantageous display or non-advantageous display. In this example, by displaying the chance-up background, the sky area excluding clouds above the horizon is displayed in the expected color (red), and images of a plurality of stars are displayed.

Subtitles are displayed in red. The chance-up display started from the timing B is performed over the period B. Period B is the same as the period during which ally character A and enemy character B face each other when the chance up display shown in FIGS. 2(e) and 8(a2) is not performed. That is, during the period B in which the friend character A and the enemy character B face each other, the background image is replaced with the chance-up background image. Also, the display height of the subtitle display in FIG. 8(c2) is the same as the display height of the subtitle display in FIG. 8(c1).

In this way, while the chance-up background (display mode) is changed according to the timing of the chance display, if the subtitle display is performed during the period during which the chance is displayed, the chance-up display is performed from the timing A or the timing B. Subtitles are displayed in red regardless of whether they are performed from Also, when subtitles are displayed during a period in which chance-up display is being performed, the display height is the same regardless of whether the chance-up display is performed from timing A or from timing B.

As a modified example, when the chance-up display of FIG. 8(a2) is not performed, subtitle display may not be performed. The speaker 53 can output any one of a plurality of types of predetermined sounds including the sound "Kurae!" and the sound "Ikeike!". In FIG. 8(a1), a white caption image "Kurae" corresponding to the voice "Kurae!" is displayed as a caption. On the other hand, in FIG. 8(a3) where the chance-up display is performed, the red caption image "Ikeike" corresponding to the voice "Ikeike" is displayed as the subtitle.

Further, the lines of the character A may be different between when the chance-up display of FIG. 8(a2) is not performed and when the chance-up display of FIG. 8(a3) is performed. For example, when the chance-up display is performed in FIG. 8(a3), the subtitle display may be performed with a red subtitle image "Fight" corresponding to the voice "Fight".

Further, the chance-up display is not limited to the case where the chance-up display is performed by replacing a part of the image with the chance-up background image. You can do For example, when the chance up display is not performed, it is assumed that animation A in which ally character A attacks enemy character B is reproduced for 10 seconds from timing A. FIG. After reproducing the moving image for 5 seconds from the timing A, the chance up image A may be displayed for 1 second, and then the following moving image for 5 seconds may be reproduced. Alternatively, the chance-up image A may be displayed for 1 second after reproducing the moving image for 10 seconds from the timing A. In this case, an image prompting the player to operate the performance button may be displayed when the reproduction of the moving image A is completed, and the chance up image A may be displayed when the performance button is operated.

[Examples of application to slot machines and pachinko machines]
FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining an example of application to a slot machine and a pachinko game machine. 9(a1) to (a5) illustrate the case where the battle presentation A is applied to a slot machine, and FIGS. 9(b1) to (b5) illustrate the case where the battle presentation A is applied to a pachinko game machine. to explain. The flow of FIGS. 9(a1)-(a5) and 9(b1)-(b5) is the same as the flow of FIGS. 2(a)-(j), so the detailed description is omitted.

First, the case of application to a slot machine will be described. In FIG. 9(a1), normal display is performed. Whether or not to execute a specific effect is determined when a predetermined condition is met (for example, a cherry win). Here, it is assumed that execution of the battle production A is determined. Then, for example, when a start operation (operation of the start switch) for starting the next game is performed, a battle effect A is executed as shown in FIG. 3(a2).

The battle effect is executed over a plurality of games (for example, 4 games). When a predetermined number of games have been played and a start operation for starting the next game is performed, an image of friendly character A attacking enemy character B appears on the liquid crystal display, as shown in FIG. 9(a3). 51. At this time, the voice "Kurae!"

It is assumed that the battle effect progresses further and a start operation for starting the final game of the battle effect is performed. For example, the specific timing is the timing at which the start operation is performed. As a result, advantageous display is started. At this time, as shown in FIG. 9(a4), reproduction of a winning pattern animation in which ally character A wins starts. At this time, the voice "chance!"

When the ally character A wins against the enemy character B, as shown in FIG. 9(a5), the ally character A and the character image "WIN" are displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 to notify the result. Then, by performing a start operation for starting the next game, the battle presentation ends. For example, when AT (the number of AT games) is given as a privilege, it is controlled to AT with the end of the battle production.

Next, the case of application to a pachinko game machine will be described. Whether or not to execute a specific effect is determined by establishment of a predetermined condition (for example, winning of a game ball into a starting winning hole). Here, it is assumed that execution of the battle production A is determined. The battle production is a reach production. For example, the ready-to-win effect A is executed as the battle effect A, and the ready-to-win effect B is executed as the battle effect B.

The ready-to-win effect is executed over a specified time (for example, 1 minute). For example, the time during which the ready-to-reach effect is executed may be longer in the battle effect A than in the battle effect B. In addition, in the ready-to-win effect, caption display is performed or switched to advantageous display depending on the passage of time. On the other hand, when applied to a slot machine, these switching may be performed on the condition of a start operation or a stop operation.

At present, normal display is being performed, and it is assumed that a jackpot has been determined by winning a game ball into the starting winning hole. Then, it is assumed that the variation display of the left pattern, the middle pattern and the right pattern is performed based on the determination of the big hit. Furthermore, it is assumed that the variable display of the left and right symbols is stopped and the ready-to-win state is reached. At this time, as shown in FIG. 9(b1), "4↓4" is displayed in a large size in the center of the screen of the liquid crystal display 51. FIG.

When the ready-to-win state is reached, a battle effect A (ready-to-win effect A) is executed as shown in FIG. 9(b2). During the execution of the battle effect A, a small image is displayed on the upper right of the screen of the liquid crystal display 51, which can be used to specify that the variable display is being performed.

Then, when the time A has passed since the start of the battle effect A, an image of the friend character A attacking the enemy character C is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, as shown in FIG. 4(b3). At this time, a white subtitle image is displayed along with the audio output.

Then, when the time B has passed from the start of the battle presentation A, the specific timing is reached. As a result, advantageous display is started. At this time, as shown in FIG. 9(b4), reproduction of a winning pattern animation in which ally character A wins starts. At this time, audio is output and a rainbow-colored caption image is displayed.

When the ally character A wins against the enemy character B, the variable display stops. At that time, the image in the upper right corner of the screen is erased, and an image that can be identified that the large fluctuation display is being performed is displayed again in the center of the screen. In this example, a character image "444" is displayed that can be identified as a big hit with "444".

Then, when the time C has passed since the start of the battle presentation A, the result is notified. As shown in FIG. 9(b5), the liquid crystal display 51 displays the character image "444" together with the friend character A to notify the result. Then, when the time D has elapsed from the start of the battle performance A, the battle performance A ends. At the same time, it is controlled to the jackpot game state.

[Main effects]
Next, main effects obtained by the above-described embodiment will be described.

(1-1) A game machine (for example, a game machine 1 exemplified by a slot machine or a pachinko game machine) that performs a game,
A specific effect executing means (for example, a process in which the sub-control unit 91 performs a specific effect) for executing a specific effect (for example, battle effects A and B) that suggests giving a privilege (for example, privilege A, privilege B),
The specific effect execution means is
When the privilege is granted, a specific display corresponding to the grant of the privilege (for example, the advantageous display shown in FIGS. 2(f) to (j)) from a specific timing (for example, the specific timing shown in FIG. 2(f)) On the other hand, when the privilege is not granted, a non-specific display different from the specific display (for example, non-advantageous display shown in FIGS. 2 (k) to (o)) is displayed at the specific timing (for example, in FIG. 2 (k) specific timing shown),
It is possible to perform character display (for example, subtitle display) in the specific effect,
When the character display is performed before the specific timing, the character display is performed in a color different from the specific color (for example, white) (for example, as shown in FIGS. 2C and 2E, the specific timing If subtitles are displayed before , the subtitles are displayed in white),
When the character display is performed while the specific display is being performed, the character display is performed in the specific color (for example, rainbow color) (for example, as shown in FIGS. 2(f) and (h), advantageous display (If subtitles are displayed while the

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, the sub-control unit 91 executes battle effects (battle effects A, B) suggesting the granting of benefits (privilege A, benefit B). When a privilege is granted, the advantageous display corresponding to the grant of the privilege (Fig. 2 (f) to (j)) is performed from a specific timing (Fig. 2 (f)), and when the privilege is not granted, the advantageous display Different non-advantageous displays ((k) to (o) in FIG. 2) are performed from a specific timing ((k) in FIG. 2). Subtitles can be displayed during the battle production. As shown in FIGS. 2(c) and 2(e), when the caption display is performed before the specific timing, the caption display is performed in white. As shown in FIGS. 2(f) and 2(h), when subtitles are displayed during advantageous display, the subtitles are displayed in rainbow colors.

For example, when a moving image indicating advantageous display is being reproduced, a player who is not accustomed to the game may not be able to determine whether or not the moving image is advantageous display. When subtitles are displayed while advantageous display is being performed after a specific timing, by displaying subtitles in a rainbow color, it becomes easy to understand that advantageous display is being performed even by the color of the subtitles display. Therefore, the player can recognize that the advantageous display is being performed by distinguishing it from other displays. In addition, since the subtitle display is a display of characters, the player's attention is likely to be attracted to the subtitle display. As a result, it is possible to improve the amusement of the game related to subtitle display.

(1-2) The specific effects include a first specific effect (for example, battle effect A) and a second specific effect (for example, battle effect B) (for example, FIGS. 2, 3, 7),
When performing the character display while performing the specific display, the specific effect executing means, depending on whether the specific effect being executed is the first specific effect or the second specific effect, While the character display is made different, the character display is performed in the specific color regardless of whether the specific effect being executed is the first specific effect or the second specific effect (FIGS. 2 and 3). , 7, when the subtitles are displayed while the advantageous display is being performed, and when the battle effect being executed is the battle effect A, the subtitles are displayed with the subtitle image "Chance!" (FIG. 7 ( a3)), and if the battle effect being executed is the battle effect B, the subtitle image is displayed with the subtitle image "Let's go!" (FIG. 7B3)). Subtitles are displayed in rainbow colors regardless of the battle production B).

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 2, 3 and 7, the battle effects include a battle effect A and a battle effect B. FIG. As shown in FIGS. 2, 3, and 7, when the subtitle is displayed while the advantageous display is being performed, when the battle effect being executed is the battle effect A, the subtitle is displayed with the subtitle image "Chance!" (Fig. 7(a3)), if the battle effect being executed is battle effect B, the subtitle image "Let's go!" is displayed (Fig. 7(b3)). Subtitles are displayed in rainbow colors regardless of whether it is the battle performance A or the battle performance B.例文帳に追加

For example, the moving image reproduced in the battle production A and the moving image reproduced in the battle production B may differ. In such a case, a player unfamiliar with the game may not be able to determine whether or not the moving image being reproduced is advantageous display. Regardless of whether the battle effect being executed is the battle effect A or the battle effect B, the subtitle display during the advantageous display is displayed in rainbow colors so that the advantageous display is performed depending on the color of the subtitle display. easier to understand. In addition, since the subtitle display is a display of characters, the player's attention is likely to be attracted to the subtitle display. Therefore, the player can recognize that the advantageous display is being performed by distinguishing it from other displays. As a result, it is possible to improve the amusement of the game related to subtitle display.

(1-3) The privileges include a first privilege (eg, privilege A) and a second privilege (eg, privilege B) (eg, FIG. 6),
When performing the character display while performing the specific display, the specific effect executing means displays the character regardless of whether the privilege to be given is the first privilege or the second privilege. is performed in the specific color (for example, as shown in FIG. 6(b2), when subtitles are displayed while advantageous display is being performed, the privilege to be given is either the privilege A or the second privilege B Subtitles are displayed in rainbow colors regardless of the

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, the privilege includes privilege A and privilege B. FIG. As shown in FIG. 6(b2), when subtitles are displayed while the advantageous display is being performed, the subtitles are displayed in rainbow colors regardless of whether the given privilege is privilege A or privilege B. .

For example, if the color of the subtitle display during advantageous display is changed according to the privilege to be granted, a player who is not accustomed to the game may not be able to determine whether or not the video being reproduced is advantageous display. In some cases. Regardless of whether the privilege to be granted is privilege A or privilege B, by displaying subtitles during advantageous display in rainbow colors, it becomes easy to understand that the advantageous display is being performed by the color of the subtitle display. . In addition, since the subtitle display is a display of characters, the player's attention is likely to be attracted to the subtitle display. Therefore, the player can recognize that the advantageous display is being performed by distinguishing it from other displays. As a result, it is possible to improve the amusement of the game related to subtitle display.

(1-4) display means for displaying an image (for example, a liquid crystal display 51);
further comprising storage means (eg, ROM 91b) for storing image data;
The display means displays an image (for example, an image C1 shown in FIG. 5A) corresponding to the specific effect in the specific effect,
The image corresponding to the specific effect includes a specific image (eg, image A1 displayed using image data A1) and a character display image corresponding to the character display (eg, image displayed using image data B1). B1) and
The storage means stores specific image data (for example, image data A1) used to display the specific image and character display image data (for example, image data A2) used to display the character display image,
the specific image data is data compressed at a first rate (for example, compression rate A);
The character display image data is either uncompressed or compressed at a second rate (eg, no compression) that is lower than the first rate.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5(a), the liquid crystal display 51 displays an image C1 corresponding to the battle effect in the battle effect. The image C1 corresponding to the battle effect is composed of an image A1 displayed using the image data A1 and an image B1 corresponding to the subtitle display and displayed using the image data B1. The ROM 91b stores image data A1 used for displaying the image A1 and image data B1 used for displaying the image B1. The image data A1 is data compressed at a compression rate A, and the image data B1 is uncompressed data. Excessive compression of the image data used to display the character display image causes the characters to blur or blur, making it difficult to recognize the characters. By doing so, the character display image becomes clearer, and the player can easily recognize the character of the caption display.
