1) Basic Configuration of Gaming Machine 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 display device 10, a starting prize winning port 904, a big winning prize port 906, an out port, and the like. A display area 11 of the display device 10 is an area viewed through an opening formed in the game board 90 . 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.

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.

The lottery for the jackpot is executed by winning/failure determining means provided on a control board (not shown) triggered by the entry of a game ball into the starting winning opening 904 (a plurality of such starting winning openings may be provided). Specifically, when the game ball enters the start winning hole 904, a numerical value (win/fail determination information) is obtained from the random number source, and if the numerical value is the same as a predetermined jackpot numerical value, the jackpot is won. , if it is different, it is lost. In the present embodiment, notification of the success/failure judgment results is started in the order in which the numerical values are obtained (so-called variation starts), but there is success/failure judgment information for which the notification of the success/failure judgment results has not yet been completed. In this case, the newly acquired propriety determination information is stored as pending information in storage means provided on a control board (not shown). The fact that the pending information is stored in the storage means is displayed as a pending image (a pending pattern) 80 (see FIG. 2).

In the present embodiment, as the pending image 80, the notification effect for notifying the result of the success/failure determination has been started (the identification pattern 70 (identification symbol group 70g) indicating the success/failure determination result has started to change), but the success/failure determination The notification of the result is not completed (the variation of the identification pattern 70 (identification pattern group 70g) is not stopped in the mode indicating the result of the judgment). ), and a pre-variation pending image 82 corresponding to the one in which the notification effect for notifying the success/failure determination result has not started (the identification pattern 70 (identification symbol group 70g) indicating the success/failure determination result has not started to change). is displayed (see FIG. 2). An upper limit is set for the maximum storage number of pending information corresponding to the pre-variation pending image 82 . In this embodiment, the maximum number of stored pieces of pending information (property determination information) obtained by winning the starting prize-winning port 904 (so-called "special figure 1") is four.

In this embodiment, similar to a known game machine, the player is notified of the win/loss determination result by combining identification symbols 70 (see FIG. 2) displayed in the display area 11 of the display device 10 . Specifically, an identification pattern group 70g (left identification pattern group 70gL, middle identification pattern group 70gC, right identification pattern group 70gR) including a plurality of identification patterns 70 starts to change, and finally each identification pattern group 70g. One identification pattern 70 is selected from the list and stopped. When a jackpot is won, the combination of the identification patterns 70 selected from each identification pattern group 70g and stopped becomes a predetermined combination (for example, three sets of the same identification patterns 70). In the case of losing, it becomes a combination other than that (other than the combination that becomes a jackpot). In each drawing, only "numbers (characters)" forming the identification pattern 70 are illustrated, but a pattern in which the numbers and characters or the like are combined can be set as the identification pattern 70. FIG.

2) First Image Displacement Effect Various effects are executed as notification effects (effects from the start of variation of the identification symbols 70 to the stop with the combination indicating the result of the success/failure determination) for informing the result of the success/failure determination. In the present embodiment, as one type of the effect, the first image displacement effect (the second image displacement effect and the third image displacement effect, which will be described later, are formally denoted by "first". The image displacement effect is It is also possible to execute what is generally called a “shake effect” or the like). That is, the first image displacement effect can occur as a part of a series of effects for informing the result of the suitability determination of the target. The first image displacement effect will be described in detail below. In addition, unless otherwise specified, the term "image" (reference image 20, etc.) in the following description includes both still images and moving images.

The basic aspect of the first image displacement effect is that the reference image 20 is displayed on the display area 11 of the display device 10 from the first state (the state shown in FIG. 20 is displaced to the second state (the state shown in FIG. 3(b)) displayed as if it were displaced. The reference image 20 is an image displayed in the display area 11 in the first state. In this embodiment, the image displayed on the entire display area 11 in the first state is set as the reference image 20 . However, a configuration may be adopted in which only part of the image displayed in the display area 11 in the first state is displaced as the reference image 20 . The reference image 20 may be either a still image or a moving image, but the content of the image represented by the reference image 20 from the first state to the second state is maintained in a manner that the player can see the same image (however, as will be described later). , except for the portion representing the identification pattern 70).

Various modes of displacement of the entire reference image 20 with respect to the display area 11 are conceivable. In this embodiment, the reference image 20 is displayed (three-dimensionally display) is made. More specifically, in this embodiment, the reference image 20 is displayed as if it were rotated so that the left edge of the reference image 20 faces the back side and the right edge of the reference image 20 faces the front side. (See FIGS. 3(a) and 3(b)). However, such a displacement mode is only an example. The reference image 20 may be displayed as if it were displaced along the planar direction (either up, down, left, or right) (display as if displaced two-dimensionally). A display may be made as if 20 were displaced to the back (back). Alternatively, a mode in which the amount of displacement of the reference image 20 changes with the lapse of time (for example, a mode in which the reference image 20 shakes) may be employed. Further, a mode in which the contour shape of the reference image 20 changes (for example, a mode in which the contour of the reference image 20 is distorted) may be adopted. Moreover, it is also possible to adopt a mode in which a part of the reference image 20 is positioned outside the display area 11 due to displacement (a mode in which a part of the image is cut off). Alternatively, the reference image 20 may return to its original state when the first image displacement effect is completed, or the reference image 20 may not return to its original state, and a completely different image may be displayed. It is also possible to adopt a form of production in which the voice can be heard.

In addition, in the second state of the first image displacement rendering, the frame image 30 along the outer edge of the reference image 20 is displayed (see FIG. 3B). The frame image 30 indicates a portion corresponding to the outer edge of the display area 11 in the first state. In this embodiment, the frame image 30 is not displayed in the first state. That is, since the first image displacement effect is an effect in which the reference image 20 is displayed as if it is shifted from the display area 11, the frame image 30 is displayed in the second state in order to express the shift. . The player has the impression that the outer edge of the display area 11 in the first state has shifted to the position displayed as the frame image 30 in the second state. Since the display area 11 has a substantially rectangular shape when viewed roughly, if the first image displacement effect is to three-dimensionally displace the reference image 20 as in the present embodiment, the frame image 30 in the second state is displayed. is a three-dimensional expression that looks like a square (substantially a parallelogram in a plan view). In this embodiment, from the first state to the second state, the shape of the frame image 30 changes so as to gradually move away from the outer edge of the display area 11, and finally reaches the state shown in the figure. Note that the frame image 30 may not be displayed at all. In the case of such a configuration, the "frame image 30" also includes an image (a background image 22, which will be described later in this embodiment) that is displayed as if it is shifted from the display area 11, and the boundary of the other portion. shall be

The reference image 20 includes an identification pattern 70 . Specifically, the reference image 20 includes at least the identification pattern 70 and the background image 22 displayed as its background (see FIG. 3(a)). The image layer displaying the identification pattern 70 and the image layer displaying the background image 22 are separate layers, and if the former layer is set in front of the latter layer, the background image is used as the background of the identification pattern 70 22 can be constructed. A portion of the reference image 20 representing the identification patterns 70 (three identification patterns 70) is hereinafter referred to as a specific image 21. FIG. When the first state transitions to the second state, at least the portion corresponding to the background image 22 is displayed as if it were three-dimensionally displaced with respect to the display area 11, and the background image 22 is surrounded by A frame image 30 is displayed. Such a change gives the player the impression that the image displayed in the first state has shifted from the display area 11 .

Here, in the second state, the relative relationship between the specific image 21 and the frame image 30 differs from the relative relationship between the specific image 21 and the outer edge of the display area 11 in the first state. That is, it is different from the display mode (virtual display mode) in the second state when it is assumed that the entire reference image 20 including the specific image 21 displayed in the first state is displaced with respect to the display area 11 as it is. This means that the relative relationship between the specific image 21 and the frame image 30 that appear to be .

In the first state, the specific image 21 is contained within the display area 11 (see FIG. 3A). That is, the entire specific image 21 is located inside the outer edge of the display area 11 . On the other hand, in the state where the frame image 30 corresponding to the outer edge of the display area 11 in the first state is displayed in the display area 11 after transitioning from the first state to the second state, in the present embodiment, the specific image 21 is displayed so as to protrude from the frame image 30 (see FIG. 3B). That is, by transitioning from the first state to the second state, the frame image 30 is displayed to show a mode as if the background image 22 were three-dimensionally displaced with respect to the display area 11 . The relative positional relationship between the frame image 30 and the specific image 21 (identification pattern 70) is not maintained, and the specific image 21 protrudes from the frame image 30. - 特許庁The area outside the frame image 30 in the second state is an area generated by displacing the reference image 20 with respect to the display area 11 (hereinafter also referred to as the outer area 11s). A part of the specific image 21 is displayed on the screen.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the state in which the identification pattern 70 is changed is maintained through the first image displacement effect (even if the first state is changed to the second state). At least when the first image displacement effect is executed, the identification pattern 70 is changed in a manner such that the identification pattern 70 constituting each identification pattern group 70g rotates at a predetermined position, and the type of the identification pattern 70 changes each time it rotates. It is assumed to change. Such an identification pattern 70 is displayed as the specific image 21 so as to protrude from the frame image 30 in the second state so as to fluctuate (rotate) (see FIG. 3B). In this embodiment, part of the left identification pattern 70 (left identification pattern group 70gL) and right identification pattern 70 (right identification pattern group 70gR) protrudes from the frame image 30 .

In the present embodiment, the size of the specific image 21 relative to the frame image 30 in the second state is larger than the size of the specific image 21 relative to the outer edge of the display area 11 in the first state. By being set, at least part of the specific image 21 is displayed so as to protrude from the frame image 30 in the second state. In other words, the amount by which the specific image 21 changes from the first state to the second state is smaller than the amount by which the outer edge of the display area 11 in the first state changes as the frame image 30 in the second state. In the second state, a part of the specific image 21 protrudes from the frame image 30 .

After that (after the second state), the display is such that the frame image 30 gradually becomes larger (closer to the outer edge of the display area 11), and finally the frame image 30 is not displayed. In other words, the frame image 30 is displayed as if it had returned to the "outer edge of the display area 11", and the state in which the image is displayed as if it were shifted from the display area 11 ends. Along with this, the entirety of the specific image 21 (identification pattern 70 ) is displayed within the display area 11 . In this embodiment, the identification pattern 70 stops changing at this time. That is, control is performed so that the combination of the identification symbols 70 indicating the result of the right/wrong determination is displayed substantially at the same time that the first image displacement effect is completed and the frame image 30 is not displayed. That is, the first image displacement effect in the present embodiment is started immediately before the combination of the identification symbols 70 indicating the success/failure determination result is displayed, and substantially simultaneously with the end of the first image displacement effect, the combination (jackpot or Combinations indicating deviation) are shown (see FIGS. 3(c-1) and 3(c-2)).

It is to be noted that the combination of the identification symbols 70 indicating the success/failure determination result is not displayed after the first image displacement effect is completed, but the so-called chance eye (an event that is advantageous to the player occurs, or an advantageous event occurs) after the first image displacement effect is completed. A combination indicating that the probability of occurrence of such an event has increased) may be displayed. In addition, each identification pattern 70 shown after the end of the image displacement effect is a pseudo-stop (not completely stopped, but it seems to the player that it is stopped. For example, each identification pattern 70 shakes slightly. It may be in a state in which the

As described above, in the first image displacement effect according to the present embodiment, in order to give the player the impression that the reference image 20 has been displaced with respect to the display area 11, the second state is "display in the first state. A frame image 30 corresponding to the "outer edge of the area 11" is displayed. Assuming such a configuration, the specific image 21, which was entirely displayed inside the outer edge of the display area 11 in the first state, is displayed so as to partially protrude in the second state. By doing so, as a result of the “image shift” occurring with respect to the display area 11, a part of the image (the specific image 21) displayed in the first state becomes smaller than the display area 11 (the frame image 30). It is possible to provide an interesting performance mode that gives the player an impression as if it has grown larger.

Specific examples in which the first image displacement effect in the above embodiment is improved, embodied, modified, etc. will be described below. It should be noted that, as far as possible, a configuration may be adopted in which a plurality of techniques described using the following specific examples are combined and applied.

○First Specific Example In the first image displacement rendering in the above embodiment, it was explained that the identification pattern 70 indicating the result of the suitability determination is set as the specific image 21, but an image other than this is set as the specific image 21. is also possible. Any image may be set as the specific image 21 as long as it constitutes the reference image 20 displayed in the first state.

For example, it is assumed that a certain character displayed in the first state is set as the specific image 21 and the background image 22 is displayed as its background (see FIG. 4A). When transitioning to the second state, it is assumed that the image of the character is displayed as if part of the image protrudes from the frame image 30 (the image around the background image 22) (see FIG. 4B). In this way, the character that was smaller than the display area 11 in the first state (the entire character was displayed within the display area 11) changes to the second state so that the display area 11 (the frame image 30) is displayed. It is possible to give the player an impression as if it has become larger.

○Second Specific Example In the above-described embodiment, it was explained that when the transition to the second state was made, the specific image 21 was displayed as if part of it protruded outside the frame image 30. However, the entire specific image 21 was displayed. may be displayed outside the frame image 30 . That is, the entire specific image 21 is displayed in the outer area 11s generated by displaying the reference image 20 as if it were displaced from the display area 11 (FIG. 5(b)). )reference).

By doing so, it is possible to give the player the impression that the specific image 21 has moved outside the display area 11 . That is, since the frame image 30 in the second state can be said to represent the outer edge of the display area 11 virtually, by displaying the specific image 21 outside the frame image 30 in the first state, By transitioning to the second state, it is possible to give an impression as if the specific image 21 displayed within the display area 11 has moved outside the display area 11 .

○Third Specific Example In the above-described embodiment, it was explained that when the transition to the second state was made, the specific image 21 was displayed as if part of it protruded outside the frame image 30. However, the entire specific image 21 was displayed. may be displayed inside the frame image 30 . If the relative relationship between the specific image 21 and the outer edge of the display area 11 in the first state and the relative relationship between the frame image 30 of the specific image 21 in the second state appear different to the player. good.

For example, the closeness (perception of distance) between the specific image 21 and the frame image 30 in the second state is higher than the proximity (perception of distance) between the specific image 21 and the outer edge of the display area 11 in the first state (see FIG. 6A). ) (see FIG. 6(b)) to appear smaller, thereby giving the player the impression that the specific image 21 has become larger by transitioning from the first state to the second state. is possible.

○Fourth Specific Example In the configuration in which the identification pattern 70 is set as the specific image 21, the first image displacement effect is generated as the effect of changing the mode of combination of the identification pattern 70 concerned. For example, in the first state, it is assumed that the variation of each identification pattern group 70g is pseudo-stopped and the identification patterns 70 are shown in a certain combination (preliminary combination) (see FIG. 7(a)). After that, the transition to the second state is made, and a part of the identification pattern 70, which is the specific image 21, protrudes from the frame image 30, and each identification pattern group 70g starts to change again (FIG. 7B). reference). Then, the frame image 30 is displayed such that it gradually becomes larger (closer to the outer edge of the display area 11), and finally the frame image 30 is not displayed. The combination (post-combination) of the identification patterns 70 displayed at this time can be changed from the above pre-combination (it may necessarily change, or it may change or may not change) setting. (see FIG. 7(c)).

Preferably, the change from pre-matching to post-matching is advantageous to the player. In other words, the posterior combination may suggest that an event advantageous to the player will occur or that the probability of the occurrence of an advantageous event has increased. An example of this is a change from a pre-combination indicating that the result of the win/loss determination is a failure to a post-combination that indicates a big win (change from FIG. 7(a) to FIG. 7(c)). Although not shown, as another example, a combination indicating that a certain jackpot (for example, the game state after the jackpot game ends is a jackpot where the game state is a low-probability game state with a low probability of winning the lottery) A combination indicating that another jackpot (for example, the game state after the end of the jackpot game is a high-probability game state with a high probability of winning the lottery) has been won. change to Furthermore, although not shown, another example is changing from a pre-combination to a post-combination indicating the occurrence of a known continuous effect (pseudo continuous effect or pre-reading continuous effect).

3) Second Image Displacement Effect The second image displacement effect (the first image displacement effect described above and the third image displacement effect described later are formally denoted by “second”). The second image displacement effect is the same as the first image displacement effect in that it is displayed as if the reference image 20 were displaced with respect to the display area 11 . The second image displacement effect is an effect using the movable unit 40 to make the displacement of the reference image 20 easier to understand. It should be noted that, in the above first image displacement effect, an event as described below in the second image displacement effect may occur.

The movable unit 40 (see FIG. 8) has a plurality of movable parts 41 . The movable unit 40 in this embodiment has a total of four movable parts 41 . Two movable parts 41 are arranged above and below the display area 11 . The movable portion 41 provided on the upper left is referred to as an upper left movable portion 411, the movable portion 41 provided on the upper right is referred to as an upper right movable portion 412, the movable portion 41 provided on the lower left is referred to as a lower left movable portion 413, and the lower left. The movable portion 41 provided on the right side is referred to as a lower right movable portion 414 . These movable parts 41 can slide along the planar direction of the display area 11 between an original position (indicated by a dotted line in FIG. 8) and an advanced position (indicated by a solid line in FIG. 8). Since the structure for operating each movable part 41 may be of any type, the description thereof is omitted. A structure for operating each movable portion 41 may be configured separately (the unit may be separate). For example, the upper left movable portion 411, the upper right movable portion 412, and the structure for driving them are one unit, and the lower left movable portion 413, the lower right movable portion 414, and the structure for driving them are one unit. A configuration may also be used (a plurality of units are collectively referred to as the movable unit 40).

Each movable part 41 has a larger area exposed through an opening 901 formed in the game board 90 when positioned at the advanced position than when positioned at the original position. In other words, each movable portion 41 overlaps the display area 11 in the front-rear direction in a larger range when it is positioned at the advanced position than when it is positioned at the original position. In this embodiment, the movable part 41 positioned at the original position is completely covered with the game board 90, and unless the back side of the game board 90 is looked into, the movable part 41 positioned at the original position can be visually recognized. Can not. The upper left movable portion 411 and the upper right movable portion 412 slide downward from the original position to reach the advanced position. The upper left movable portion 411 located at the advanced position covers a part of the upper left of the display area 11 . The upper right movable portion 412 positioned at the advanced position covers the upper right part of the display area 11 . The lower left movable portion 413 and the lower right movable portion 414 slide upward from the original position to reach the advanced position. The lower left movable portion 413 located at the advanced position covers a part of the lower left portion of the display area 11 . The lower right movable portion 414 positioned at the advanced position covers a portion of the lower right of the display area 11 .

It is assumed that a plurality of types of presentation modes are set in which the mode (outer edge shape) of the reference image 20 in the second state is different. In the present embodiment, a first form (see FIG. 9A) and a second form (see FIG. 9B) in which the shape of the frame image 30 in the second state is different are set (both are the reference image 20 is three-dimensionally displaced with respect to the display area 11). The frame image 30 of the first form presents a substantially parallelogram shape in which the upper and lower sides are inclined upward from left to right. The frame image 30 of the second form presents a substantially parallelogram shape in which the upper and lower sides are inclined downward from left to right. It should be noted that in each drawing explaining the second image displacement effect, only the frame image 30 is shown, and the aspect of the image inside the frame image 30 is omitted.

When the frame image 30 of the first form is displayed in the second state, the upper left movable portion 411 and the lower right movable portion 414 are positioned at the advanced position. The upper right movable portion 412 and the lower left movable portion 413 remain at their original positions. The upper left movable portion 411 and the lower right movable portion 414 overlap the outer region 11s generated by displaying the reference image 20 as if it were displaced with respect to the display region 11 (see FIG. 9A). By doing so, the reference image 20 (frame image 30 ) appears to be deformed by being pushed by the upper left movable portion 411 and the lower right movable portion 414 .

On the other hand, when the frame image 30 of the second form is displayed in the second state, the upper right movable portion 412 and the lower left movable portion 413 are positioned at the advanced positions. The upper left movable portion 411 and the lower right movable portion 414 remain at their original positions. The upper right movable portion 412 and the lower left movable portion 413 overlap the outer region 11s generated by displaying the reference image 20 as if it were displaced with respect to the display region 11 (see FIG. 9B). By doing so, the reference image 20 (frame image 30 ) appears as if it were deformed by being pushed by the upper right movable portion 412 and the lower left movable portion 413 .

As described above, in the present embodiment, a part of the movable portion 41 advances so as to overlap the outer region 11s of the frame image 30 (hereinafter, the movable portion 41 positioned at the advanced position in the second state is referred to as the target movable portion 41S. sometimes called). As a result, the reference image 20 (frame image 30) appears to be displaced (deformed) by being pushed by the target movable portion 41S. That is, the target movable portion 41S emphasizes that the reference image 20 (frame image 30) has been displaced with respect to the display area 11, making it easy to understand the occurrence of the image displacement effect.

Also, it is preferable to change the target movable portion 41S according to the form of the frame image 30 in the second state. In this embodiment, when the frame image 30 is in the first form, the upper left movable part 411 and the lower right movable part 414 are the target movable part 41S, and when the frame image 30 is in the second form, the upper right movable part 412 and the lower left The movable portion 413 is the target movable portion 41S. In this way, the movable portion 41 positioned at the advanced position is changed according to the mode of displacement (deformation) of the frame image 30 with respect to the display area 11 (one or a plurality of movable portions 41 to be the target movable portion 41S are completely ), the difference in the mode of displacement (deformation) of the frame image 30 is emphasized.

In particular, if the frame image 30 has a substantially parallelogram shape as in the present embodiment, the combination of the target movable portion 41S is the combination of the movable portions 41 positioned on the diagonal line (“upper right movable portion 412 and or a combination of the upper left movable portion 411 and the lower right movable portion 414), the frame image 30 (display area 11) looks as if it were deformed into a substantially parallelogram shape by the movable portion 41. It will be a production mode that leaves an impression.

Specific examples in which the second image displacement effect in the above embodiment is improved, embodied, modified, etc. will be described below. It should be noted that, as far as possible, a configuration may be adopted in which a plurality of techniques described using the following specific examples are combined and applied.

First Specific Example The relationship between the form of the frame image 30 in the second state and the movable portion 41 serving as the target movable portion 41S is conceivable in various ways other than those described in the above embodiment. Basically, the movable portion 41 to be the target movable portion 41S is set according to the form of the frame image 30 (the shape of the outer region 11s). The display area 11 is roughly divided into four parts, such as upper left, upper right, lower left, and lower right, and the movable part 41 corresponding to the part where the size of the outer area 11s increases is set as the target movable part 41S. Possible embodiments are listed below.

As shown in FIG. 10A, when the reference image 20 is displaced downward with respect to the display area 11 (in the second state, the upper edge of the display area 11 appears as if the frame image 30 ), the upper left movable portion 411 and the upper right movable portion 412 are set as the target movable portion 41S. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 10B, when the reference image 20 is displaced upward with respect to the display area 11 (in the second state, the lower edge of the display area 11 is When the effect mode is as if it were displayed as the frame image 30), the lower left movable portion 413 and the lower right movable portion 414 are set as the target movable portion 41S. By doing so, it is possible to give an impression as if the reference image 20 (frame image 30) was pushed downward or upward and displaced by the movable portion 41 set as the target movable portion 41S. .

As shown in FIG. 10(c), when the reference image 20 is in an effect mode as if it were displaced backward (backward), all the movable parts 41 are set as the target movable parts 41S. That is, the upper left movable portion 411, the upper right movable portion 412, the lower left movable portion 413, and the lower right movable portion 414 are positioned at the advanced positions. By doing so, it is possible to give the impression that the reference image 20 has been pushed inward and displaced by all the movable parts 41 .

10A to 10C, the upper and lower edges of the frame image 30 are displayed substantially parallel to the upper and lower edges of the display area 11. Since the aspect is such that the reference image 20 is displaced in a direction substantially orthogonal to the upper edge and the lower edge of the display area 11, the upper movable portion 41 (upper left movable portion 411, upper right movable portion 412). and both of the lower movable portions 41 (the lower left movable portion 413 and the lower right movable portion 414) are collectively positioned at the advanced position.

As shown in FIG. 11, when the reference image 20 is obliquely tilted with respect to the display area 11, only one of the plurality of movable portions 41 is the target movable portion 41S. . By doing so, it is possible to give the impression that the reference image 20 is tilted obliquely by the target movable portion 41S.

As in the above embodiment (FIG. 9) and the example shown in FIG. 11, the upper edge and lower edge of the frame image 30 are displayed in a state inclined with respect to the upper edge and lower edge of the display area 11. In the case of such a mode, one of the upper movable parts 41 (upper left movable part 411, upper right movable part 412) and one of the lower movable parts 41 (lower left movable part 413, lower right movable part 414) It is preferable to position the reference image 20 at the advanced position so as to give the impression that the reference image 20 is tilted by being pushed by the movable portion 41 positioned at the advanced position.

Second Specific Example Although it has been described that the movable unit 40 in the above embodiment has a plurality of movable portions 41 , it may be configured to have only one movable portion 41 . When the reference image 20 is displaced (in the second state), the one movable portion 41 is positioned at the advanced position so that the displacement of the reference image 20 is emphasized.

Third Specific Example Although it has been described that the movable unit 40 in the above embodiment has two movable parts 41 on the upper side of the display area 11 and two movable parts 41 on the lower side, The mode of arrangement is merely an example. One movable part 41 may be provided above and below the display area 11 , or three or more movable parts 41 may be provided above and below the display area 11 . . Also, one or a plurality of movable parts 41 may be provided on the left and right sides of the display area 11 . One or a plurality of movable portions 41 may be arranged according to the form of the frame image 30 (the shape of the outer region 11s) in the second state.

○Fourth Specific Example Although it has been described that the movable part 41 in the above embodiment reciprocates between the original position and the advanced position, a plurality of positions are set as the advanced position of the movable part 41. may be For example, in the configuration in which the movable unit 40 has four of the upper left movable portion 411, the upper right movable portion 412, the lower left movable portion 413, and the lower right movable portion 414 as described in the above embodiment, each movable portion 41 can be positioned at a first advanced position displaced from the original position toward the center of the display area 11 by a predetermined amount, and at a second advanced position displaced further toward the center of the display area 11 from the first advanced position. and In other words, each movable portion 41 can be positioned at a plurality of advanced positions with different amounts of protrusion toward the center of the display area 11 .

As shown in FIG. 12A, when the frame image 30 is in the first form A, the upper left movable portion 411 and the lower right movable portion 414 are positioned at the first advanced position. As shown in FIG. 12B, the first form B in which the frame image 30 is displaced (deformed) more than the first form A (the amount of displacement of the frame image 30 from the outer edge of the display area 11 is greater than that of the first form A). ), the upper left movable portion 411 and the lower right movable portion 414 are positioned at the second advanced position. That is, the advanced position of the target movable portion 41S is changed according to the amount of displacement (deformation) of the frame image 30 with respect to the display area 11 . It can also be said that the frame image 30 is controlled to have different forms according to the advanced position of the target movable part 41S.

In this way, by setting a plurality of positions as the advancing positions of the movable portion 41 and controlling the advancing positions according to the amount of displacement (deformation) of the frame image 30 with respect to the display area 11, the frame image 30 can be moved. It is possible to improve the effect of giving the impression of being deformed by the portion 41 .

4) Use of image displacement effects in battle effects (third image displacement effect)
The third image displacement effect (formally denoted by “third” in order to distinguish it from the above-described first image displacement effect and second image displacement effect) will be described below. The third image displacement effect is the same as the first image displacement effect and the second image displacement effect in that it is displayed as if the reference image 20 were displaced with respect to the display area 11. . The third image effect occurs during the so-called "battle effect".

The battle effect (see FIG. 13) is advantageous to the player when the allied character 50 and the enemy character 51 fight and the allied character 50 wins (hereinafter also referred to as a winning ending). events occur. In the present embodiment, when a winning ending is reached (see FIG. 13(c-1)), it is determined that the winning result of the target is a big win (a big win is notified). On the other hand, when the allied character 50 loses (the enemy character 51 wins) (hereinafter also referred to as the defeat ending) (see FIG. The result is determined to be a miss.

In the battle effect, an attack effect (specific effect) indicating that the ally side character 50 attacks the enemy side character 51 is executed. A plurality of types of attack effects are set as candidates that can be executed as the attack effects. In this embodiment, there are two types of first attack effect (first specific effect) (see FIG. 13(b-1)) and second attack effect (second specific effect) (see FIG. 13(b-2)). is set. The first attack effect and the second attack effect differ in the "strength of attack" of the ally side character 50. - 特許庁Compared to the first attack presentation, the second attack presentation indicates that the attack of the ally side character 50 is stronger. The first attack effect indicates a so-called "weak attack", and the second attack effect indicates a so-called "strong attack". In the battle effect, one of the first attack effect and the second attack effect occurs during a predetermined period. Since the strength of the attack of the ally-side character 50 is "the second attack effect>the first attack effect", the first attack effect occurred more when the second attack effect occurred during the period. It is set so that the probability of reaching a winning ending is higher than in the case (that is, the probability that the success/failure determination result is a big win (jackpot reliability) is high).

The basic aspect of the image displayed during the first attack effect (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the first attack image 501) and the image displayed during the second attack effect (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the second attack image 502) ) are different. In other words, a display is made to show that the attacks of the ally side character 50 to the enemy side character 51 are different (one is a weak attack and the other is a strong attack). For example, characters indicating the content of the attack are displayed (see FIGS. 13(b-1) and (b-2)).

As described above, although the basic aspects of the first attack image 501 and the second attack image 502 are different, the difference in the basic aspects of these images alone indicates which attack rendering is currently occurring. There is a possibility that the player does not know whether it is a weak attack or a strong attack. Based on this, in the present embodiment, no image displacement effect is generated during the first attack effect (see FIG. 13(b-1)), and an image displacement effect is generated during the second attack effect (see FIG. 13(b-2). )) (assuming that the image displacement effect at the time of the second attack effect is the third image displacement effect). That is, the first attack effect is a effect in which the first attack image 501 is not displaced with respect to the display area 11 (does not "shake"), while the second attack effect uses the second attack image 502 as the reference image 20, This is an effect in which the second attack image 502 is displayed (“shakes”) as if it were displaced with respect to the display area 11 .

The image displacement effect is to show as if the image displayed in the display area 11 is displaced with respect to the display area 11 due to the action of some force. It is possible to give the player the impression of being shaken. Therefore, it is possible to clearly indicate that the second attack effect is a so-called "strong attack".

Specific examples in which the third image displacement effect (battle effect) in the above embodiment is improved, embodied, modified, etc. will be described below. It should be noted that, as far as possible, a configuration may be adopted in which a plurality of techniques described using the following specific examples are combined and applied.

First Specific Example Although it has been described that the third image displacement effect in the above embodiment can occur as part of the battle effect, it can also be used for purposes other than the battle effect. That is, during a predetermined period, an effect (first specific effect) in which the first image 521 is displayed in the display area 11 and an effect in which the second image 522 different from the first image 521 is displayed in the display area 11 and one of the effects (second specific effect) that suggests that the reliability of the big win is higher than when the first specific effect occurs, in which the image is displaced when the first specific effect occurs No effect is generated, and the image displacement effect is generated when the second specific effect is generated (the third image displacement effect is generated).

An example of such an effect is a so-called "selection effect" (see FIG. 14). In the effect in which either the first image 521 or the second image 522 is selected and shown to the player, the selection of the second image 522 is a so-called chance up. It is assumed that the image displacement effect does not occur when the second image 522 is selected (see FIG. 14(b-1)), and the image displacement effect occurs when the second image 522 is selected (see FIG. 14(b-2)). .

○Second specific example In the above embodiment, it was explained that two types of attack effects (specific effects) are set: the first attack effect (first specific effect) and the second attack effect (second specific effect). However, three or more types of attack effects (specific effects) may be set.

In such a configuration, the image displacement effect (third image displacement effect) is set to occur when the attack effect with the highest jackpot reliability is executed among the three or more types of attack effects. It is conceivable that the In this way, there is an advantage that it is possible to make it easier for the player to understand the difference between the most pleasing attack presentation and the other attack presentations. On the other hand, when one of the M types (M<N) of attack effects counted from the one with the highest reliability of the big hit among the N types (N≧3) of attack effects is executed, the image displacement effect is executed. It is conceivable that the (third image displacement effect) is set to occur. By doing so, it is possible to clearly indicate that the occurrence of the image displacement effect suggests a certain level or higher of the reliability of the big win.

○Third Specific Example In the above embodiment, no image displacement effect occurs during the first attack effect (first specific effect), and an image displacement effect (third image displacement effect) occurs during the second attack effect (second specific effect). However, it is assumed that an image displacement effect occurs during each attack effect, and that the displacement of the reference image 20 (attack image) differs during each attack effect. do.

Specifically, the amount of displacement (deviation) of the first attack image 501 with respect to the display area 11 during the first attack effect (see FIG. 15A) is greater than the displacement (deviation) of the first attack image 501 with respect to the display area 11 during the second attack effect. It is set so that the magnitude of the displacement (shift) of the two-attack image 502 (see FIG. 15B) is large. That is, the displacement of the attack image (reference image 20) with respect to the display area 11 is larger (shakes more) in the attack presentation with relatively high reliability of the big win than in the attack presentation with low reliability of the big win. It is set to make it easy to understand that there is a difference in the reliability of the big win.

It is possible to apply the matters described in this example to a configuration (second specific example) in which three or more types of attack effects (specific effects) are set. For example, in a configuration in which three of the first attack effect (lowest reliability of big hit), the second attack effect, and the third attack effect (lowest reliability of big hit) are set, image displacement effect during the first attack effect does not occur (see FIG. 16(a)), and an image displacement effect occurs during the second attack effect and the third attack effect (see FIGS. 16(b) and (c)). Then, the displacement (deviation) of the reference image 20 (second attack image 502) with respect to the display area 11 during the second attack effect (see FIG. 16B) is greater than the display area 11 during the third attack effect. The displacement (deviation) of the reference image 20 (the third attack image 503) relative to is set to be large (see FIG. 16(c)).

○Fourth Specific Example In the above-described embodiment, it was explained that an image displacement effect (third image displacement effect) can occur during an attack effect indicating that the ally side character 50 is attacking. An image displacement effect may occur during an effect indicating that the character 51 is attacking (hereinafter also referred to as a defense effect) (see FIG. 17). In one battle effect, both the attack effect and the defense effect described above may occur, or only one of them may occur.

As the defense production, two types of first defense production (first specific production) (see FIG. 17(b-1)) and second defense production (second specific production) (see FIG. 17(b-2)) are set. It shall be The "strength of attack" of the enemy character 51 differs between the first defense effect and the second defense effect. Assume that the second defense effect indicates that the enemy character 51 has a stronger attack than the first defense effect. Since the victory of the ally-side character 50 is set as the successful ending of the battle effect, the reliability of the big win when the first defensive effect occurs is higher than the reliability of the big win when the second defensive effect occurs. It can be said that it is higher than the degree. That is, the relationship between the first defense production and the second defense production jackpot reliability level (see FIGS. 17(b-1) and (b-2)) is the first attack production and the second This is the opposite of the high/low relation of the reliability of the big hit of the attack production (see FIGS. 13(b-1) and (b-2)).

Under such conditions, no image displacement effect occurs when the first defense effect is executed (see FIG. 17(b-1)), but an image displacement effect occurs when the second defense effect is executed ( See FIG. 17(b-2)). By doing so, it is possible to clearly indicate that the attack of the enemy character 51 during the second defense effect is a so-called "strong attack". As for the reliability of the big win, the reliability of the big win is higher when the image displacement effect is generated in the offensive effect, and the reliability of the big win is lower when the image displacement effect is generated in the defense effect.

When both an attack effect and a defense effect occur in one battle effect, contrary to the above aspect, when the second defense effect is executed, although the image displacement effect does not occur, the first defense effect is executed. An image displacement effect may be generated when In this way, in both the offensive effect and the defensive effect, when the image displacement effect occurs, the reliability of the big win is set to be higher (the chance is increased), so the level of the reliability of the big win can be grasped. It has the advantage of being easy.

5) Battle announcement effect It is assumed that the battle announcement effect is generated before the battle effect in which the ally side character 50 and the enemy side character 51 fight (see FIG. 18). The battle announcement effect is a effect that suggests in advance what kind of characters will fight in the battle effect. In the battle announcement effect in the present embodiment, the type of the enemy character 51 that fights in the battle effect is announced. Any aspect of the announcement in the battle announcement effect may be used. A plurality of types of advance notice modes may be set. In the present embodiment, after the silhouette S of the enemy character 51 is displayed (see FIG. 18(a)), the character represented by the silhouette S becomes clear (see FIG. 18(b)), thereby creating a battle effect. A battle announcement effect is executed in which the type of the enemy character 51 to be fought is indicated. In the following description, the character foretold in the battle foretelling effect may also be referred to as the "notice character 60".

It is assumed that the ally-side character 50 that appears in the battle production is the character A (see FIG. 18(c)). In other words, when the character A fights against the character appearing as the enemy character 51 and wins, it is determined that the result of the win/loss determination is a big hit.

It is assumed that character X, character Y, and character Z are set as enemy characters 51 that may appear in the battle production. Basically, one of the three characters will appear in the battle production. Therefore, it is normal (normal mode) that one of the three characters is shown as the "forecast character 60" in the battle preview effect (see FIG. 18(b)).

On the other hand, as a special announcement mode (hereinafter also referred to as a special mode) (see FIG. 19) due to the battle announcement effect, a mode in which character A is shown as "preview character 60" can occur. As described above, the character A is a character that appears as the ally side character 50 in the battle production. In other words, the character A, which is the same type of character as the ally character 50, may be suggested as the enemy character 51 appearing in the battle presentation (see FIG. 19B).

Due to the nature of the "battle production", it is not normal for characters to fight to be of the same type. Therefore, it is possible to surprise the player by generating a special mode in which such an unusual character is suggested as the foretelling character 60 in the battle foretelling effect. In the present embodiment, it is shown that the ally-side character 50 is the character A before the battle effect is started (for example, before the battle effect is An effect or image showing that the side character 50 is the character A (see FIG. 18(a) and upper right of FIG. 19(a)) is executed). Therefore, when the character A is shown as the foretelling character 60 in the battle foretelling effect, the player can easily grasp that the character A is of the same type as the ally-side character 50 .

When the battle announcement effect becomes a special mode, it is determined that the battle effect (see FIG. 19(c)) occurring thereafter will be a winning ending. In the present embodiment, the fact that the battle production results in a winning outcome confirms that the result of the judgment result will be a big hit. production).

In this embodiment, even if the announcement character 60 is shown to be the character A in the battle announcement effect, the enemy character 51 that appears in the subsequent battle effect is a normal character (in this embodiment, any one of characters X to Z) (see FIG. 19(c)). The image of a fight between character A (ally) and character A (enemy) gives a sense of incongruity. It can be said that there is no need to do so. In addition, since there is a high probability that a player with good intuition will notice that the forewarning character 60 is the character A in the battle foreshadowing effect, it is a premium effect. It can be said that there is no need to output. However, this does not negate the execution of a battle presentation in which Character A (ally) and Character A (enemy) fight each other.

Specific examples in which the battle announcement effect (battle effect) in the above embodiment is improved, embodied, modified, etc. will be described below. It should be noted that, as far as possible, a configuration may be adopted in which a plurality of techniques described using the following specific examples are combined and applied.

First Concrete Example When the battle announcement effect becomes a special mode, the battle effect may not be executed, but a special effect may be generated to notify the player of the big win. As described above, when the battle announcement effect becomes a special mode, the big win is confirmed, so it is unnecessary to indicate victory or defeat in the subsequent battle effect, and the battle effect may not be executed. . It should be noted that even if there is a case where such a battle effect does not occur, the battle announcement effect suggests a character (enemy character 51) appearing in the battle effect.

Second Specific Example The player can select the friendly character 50 that appears in the battle presentation from a plurality of types of characters. For example, it is assumed that a selection screen is displayed so that the player can select a favorite character from character A1 and character A2 as the teammate character 50 (see FIG. 20(a)). In such a case, depending on the character selected as the ally-side character 50, the special aspect of the battle announcement effect will be different. That is, when the character A1 is selected as the ally-side character 50, the forewarning character 60 becomes the character A1 in the battle foretelling effect, which is a special mode of the battle foretelling effect (see FIGS. 20B and 20C). . Although not shown, when the character A2 is selected as the ally-side character 50, the forewarning character 60 becomes the character A2 in the battle forewarning production as a special aspect of the battle forewarning production. That is, for each character that can be selected as the ally-side character 50, it is preferable to prepare a corresponding specific aspect of the battle announcement effect.

On the other hand, if some characters are selected as the ally-side characters 50, a setting may be made such that the specific aspect of the battle announcement effect does not occur. In accordance with the above example, when the character A1 is selected as the ally side character 50, the character A2 is selected as the ally side character 50, although the battle announcement effect in which the character A1 is the forewarning character 60 is generated. In this case, it is assumed that the battle announcement effect in which the character A2 becomes the announcement character 60 does not occur. In this way, it is possible to realize an interesting game property in which whether or not a special mode battle announcement effect is generated is determined depending on which character is selected as the ally side character 50.例文帳に追加

〇Third Specific Example It has been explained that the battle notice effect in the above embodiment is to predict the enemy character 51 who appears in the battle effect. It may be given in advance.

It is assumed that a plurality of types of characters are set as characters that can appear as the ally-side character 50 . In the battle announcement effect, one of the plurality of types of characters is shown as the announcement character 60. - 特許庁It is assumed that a special mode occurs in which the type of the announcement character 60 and the type of the character set as the enemy character 51 are the same type of characters.

Fourth Concrete Example Although it has been explained that the battle forewarning effect in the above embodiment is for foretelling the mode of the battle effecting, the same technical idea can be applied to effects other than the battle effecting.

It is assumed that the advance notice effect suggests the aspect of the target effect. It is assumed that the target effect indicates at least two effect elements. It is assumed that the effect elements are usually different from each other due to the nature of the effect. Under such conditions, the advance notice effect may suggest that the effect elements appearing in the target effect will be the same (special zone type mode). In other words, under conditions where it is unthinkable for the player that the two performance elements shown in the target performance are the same, the advance notice performance suggests that the two performance elements will be the same. and By doing so, it is possible to surprise the player with the special aspect of the advance notice effect.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, the present invention is by no means limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications are possible without departing from the gist of the present invention.

The game machine 1 according to the above-described embodiment is a so-called pachinko game machine, but the same technical idea is applied to other game machines such as a reel-type game machine, except for the items that utilize the unique configuration of the pachinko game machine. It is possible.
