1) Basic configuration of gaming machine Hereinafter, one embodiment of a gaming machine 1 (pachinko gaming machine) 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. Note that in the following description, images include not only still images but also moving images.

The gaming machine 1 includes a gaming board 90. The game board 90 is formed of approximately square plywood, and the guide rail 903, which constitutes a path for guiding the game ball fired by operating the firing device 908 (launching handle) to the gaming area 902, has a roughly arc shape. It is set up like this.

The gaming area 902 is provided with a display device 91, a starting area 904, a big prize area 906, an exit, and the like. A display area 911 of the display device 91 is a portion that is visible through an opening 901 formed in the game board 90. Further, in the game area 902, a plurality of game nails are provided as obstacles that change the manner in which the game balls flow down when they collide with each other. The game ball flowing down the game area 902 changes into various modes depending on the conditions when it collides with the game nail.

In such a gaming machine 1, a game ball is fired toward the gaming area 902 by operating the firing device 908. When a game ball flowing down the game area 902 enters a winning area such as a starting area 904 or a big winning area 906, a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out by a payout device.

Note that explanations of components of the gaming machine 1 that are not related to the present invention, such as the frame of the gaming machine 1, the lower tray and the upper tray for storing game balls, will be omitted. For these, structures similar to those of known gaming machines can be applied.

The jackpot lottery is executed by a win/fail lottery means provided on a control board (not shown) triggered by the landing of a game ball in the starting area 904. In this embodiment, as the starting area 904, a first starting area 904a (so-called "special figure 1" starting area) and a second starting area 904b (so-called "special figure 2" starting area) are provided. When a game ball lands in the starting area 904, a numerical value (win/fail lottery information) is obtained from a random number source, and if the numerical value is the same as a predetermined jackpot value, it is a jackpot, and if different, it is a miss. becomes. In the case of a jackpot, a jackpot game is executed in which the jackpot area 906 is opened (a "privilege" is given to the player). Since the jackpot game itself is well known, the explanation will be omitted.

In this embodiment, the notification of the winning lottery results will start in the order in which the numerical values are obtained (so-called fluctuation will start), but there is winning lottery information for which the notification of winning lottery results has not yet been completed. In this case, the newly acquired winning/losing lottery information is stored as pending information (strictly speaking, pre-change pending information to be described later) in a storage means provided on a control board (not shown).

In the present embodiment, the pending symbol 10 is a fluctuating performance that notifies the winning lottery result (a so-called production from the start of fluctuation of the decorative symbol 80 (decorative symbol group 80g) until it completely stops at the combination indicating the winning lottery result, so-called Refers to the performance during one change (hereinafter referred to simply as "change") has started, but the notification of the lottery results has not been completed (hereinafter referred to as pending information during change) There is also a fluctuating pending symbol 11 (symbol indicating the existence of the so-called "fluctuating pending") corresponding to the fluctuating pending symbol 11 (symbol indicating the existence of the so-called "fluctuating pending"), and win/fail lottery information (hereinafter referred to as "pre-fluctuating pending information") for which the fluctuating performance that notifies the win/fail lottery result has not started. A pre-change pending symbol 12 corresponding to (sometimes referred to as ) is displayed (see FIG. 2). In this embodiment, the pending symbol 11 during fluctuation is displayed larger than the pending symbol 12 before fluctuation, but the basic form of both is the same. The basic forms of the pending symbols 11 during fluctuation and the pending symbols 12 before fluctuation may be completely different. Moreover, it is good also as a structure in which the pending symbol 11 during fluctuation is not displayed. In addition, the order in which notification of the winning/failure lottery results corresponding to the pre-change pending symbols 12 is completed (so-called pending "order of consumption") is earlier as the symbols are located to the right.

An upper limit is determined for the maximum number of stored pre-change pending information. In this embodiment, the maximum number of stored pieces of the first pre-variation reservation information (special figure 1 reservation) obtained by winning in the first starting area 904a is four, and by winning in the second starting area 904b. The maximum number of stored pieces of second pre-variation reservation information (special figure 2 reservation) that can be obtained is four. Therefore, regarding the reserved symbol 10 corresponding to either the special symbol 1 or the special symbol 2, one pending symbol 11 during fluctuation and up to four pending symbols 12 before fluctuation may be displayed (see Fig. 2). . If the pre-fluctuation pending symbol 12 is in a state where a game ball should be fired aiming at the first starting area 904a (normal game state described later), the first pre-fluctuation pending information (special figure 1 pending) is the pre-fluctuation pending symbol 12. , and if the game ball should be fired aiming at the second starting area 904b (special game state to be described later), the second pre-variation pending information (special figure 2 pending) is displayed as the pre-variation pending symbol 12. is set to Regardless of the gaming state, pre-change pending symbols 12 corresponding to both the first pre-change pending information and the second pre-change pending information stored in the storage means are displayed (up to eight pre-change pending symbols 12). ) may also be configured.

In the present embodiment, similar to known gaming machines, the winning/losing lottery results are notified to the player by the combination of decorative symbols 80 (see FIG. 2) displayed in the display area 911 of the display device 91. Specifically, the decorative pattern group 80g (left decorative pattern group 80gL, middle decorative pattern group 80gC, right decorative pattern group 80gR) including multiple types of decorative patterns 80 starts to fluctuate, and finally each decorative pattern group 80g The first decorative pattern 80 is selected and stopped. If the jackpot has been won, the combination of the decorative symbols 80 selected and stopped from each decorative symbol group 80g is a predetermined combination (for example, a set of three of the same decorative symbols 80). If it is a loss, another combination (other than the combination that results in a jackpot) will be used. The decorative pattern 80 may be a combination of numbers, characters, and the like.

Note that an image (a so-called "small pattern" or the like) indicating various information may be displayed inconspicuously near the outer edge of the display area 911 (the image is not shown in each figure). Players can now enjoy games without being aware of these types of images. That is, basically, it is possible to grasp the winning/failure lottery result by looking at the decorative pattern 80.

In this embodiment, a normal gaming state and a special gaming state are set as gaming states (see FIG. 3). The special gaming state is a gaming state that is more advantageous to the player than the normal gaming state. The normal gaming state is a low probability gaming state in which the probability of winning a jackpot is low (for example, the jackpot probability is about 1/320), and a low base state (low probability/ No time savings). The special gaming state is a high probability gaming state where the probability of winning a jackpot is high (for example, the jackpot probability is about 1/80), and a high base state (high probability/ (with reduced working hours). In the normal gaming state, the player fires a game ball aiming at the first starting area 904a. In this embodiment, so-called "left-handed hitting" is performed. In the special game state, a game ball is fired aiming at the second starting area 904b. In this embodiment, so-called "right-handed hitting" is performed. The special game state is a state in which it is easy to win the opening lottery for the second starting area 904b triggered by a game ball entering the normal starting area 905, so it is relatively easy for the game ball to enter the second starting area 904b. Win a prize.

In this embodiment, the special game state is entered after all jackpot games are completed. The special game state ends when the lottery result becomes a loss a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) consecutively. When the special gaming state ends, the game shifts to the normal gaming state. If a jackpot is won before the player loses a predetermined number of consecutive times after entering the special gaming state, the player will enter the special gaming state again (the count of the predetermined number of times will be reset). In other words, the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment is a so-called ST machine in which the condition for successive winnings is to win the jackpot a predetermined number of times in succession after entering the special gaming state before losing. Note that, unless otherwise specified in the following description, the gaming characteristics (specs) are merely an example. For example, it may be a so-called variable loop machine. Alternatively, it may be a V-probability variable machine. Alternatively, it may be a gaming machine (a type-type/two-type mixed machine) that is equipped with a so-called small win and can win a jackpot when a game ball enters a predetermined area when the small win is won. In addition, a game state different from the normal game state and special game state, for example, a low probability game state in which the probability of winning a jackpot is low, and a high base state (low probability・It may be configured such that the gaming state is set as "time saving".

2) Hereinafter, various performances etc. that can be executed by the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment will be explained. Note that a configuration may be adopted in which only a part of the effects described below can be executed. Also, only if a predetermined mode (which may be a mode that the player can select by himself or a mode that is automatically set (without the player selecting it)) is set. , a configuration may be adopted in which effects such as those described below can occur. Further, the various performances described below can occur as part of a fluctuating performance, but they may also occur while the fluctuating performance is not being executed, such as in a jackpot game. For example, something that can occur as a sign that the gaming state after a jackpot game is likely to shift to a special gaming state that is more advantageous to the player than the normal gaming state (with the transition to the special gaming state as a "privilege") You can also use it as

2-1) Composite performance The gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment is capable of executing a composite performance (see FIG. 4) as a performance that constitutes a fluctuating performance. In this embodiment, the process from the start to the end of the composite performance is completed with one fluctuating performance. A composite performance includes a plurality of unit performances. The composite performance in this embodiment includes three unit performances. A unit performance is one in which any one of a plurality of candidate events occurs.

A candidate event is an event that suggests a situation that is advantageous to the player if it occurs. Specifically, an event that suggests to the player that the probability that the winning lottery result corresponding to the fluctuating performance (target winning lottery result) will be a jackpot (hereinafter sometimes referred to as (jackpot) reliability) has increased. It is. The number of candidate event types is greater than or equal to the number of unit performances included in the composite performance. In this embodiment, one of three candidate events (first candidate event to third candidate event) occurs in one unit performance. The example shown in FIG. 4 is an example in which the first candidate event occurs in the first unit performance, the second candidate event occurs in the second unit performance, and the third candidate event occurs in the third unit performance.

The first candidate event is a reservation change (retention change performance) in which the aspect of the reservation symbol 10 changes in a direction that increases the jackpot reliability. In this embodiment, the aspect of the pending symbol 10 corresponding to the target winning/failure lottery result, that is, the changing pending symbol 11 changes (see FIGS. 4(b) and 4(c)). As the mode of the reserved symbol 10 (see FIG. 5(a)), a normal mode 10n and a plurality of special modes 10s are set. The normal mode 10n is the basic mode (normal mode) of the reserved symbol 10. That is, the pending symbol 10 has the highest probability of being in the normal mode 10n. The special mode 10s is a mode in which the jackpot reliability of the corresponding winning/failure lottery result is higher than that of the normal mode 10n. In other words, this is what is called "opportunity-up suspension." In this embodiment, four special modes 10s are set: a first special mode 101s to a fourth special mode 104s. Specifically, four types are set: a first special mode 101s exhibiting blue color, a second special mode 102s exhibiting green color, a third special mode 103s exhibiting red color, and a fourth special mode 104s exhibiting rainbow color. (In the drawings, "color" is represented by letters.) The jackpot reliability increases in this order (the fourth special mode 104s is the highest). Further, the fourth special mode 104s is a mode in which it is determined that the winning lottery result corresponding to the pending symbol 10 will be a jackpot.

The second candidate event is one in which a so-called "chance eye" is constructed by the three decorative patterns 80 displayed in the display area 911 (chance eye effect) (see FIGS. 4(d) and (e)). The chance item is a combination of three decorative symbols 80 that satisfies a predetermined rule (excluding combinations that signal a jackpot (three sets of the same decorative symbols 80)). In the first chance, all three decorative patterns 80 are even numbers. In the second chance, all three decorative patterns 80 are either "1" or "5". In the third chance, all three decorative patterns 80 are either "3" or "7". The jackpot reliability increases in the order of the first chance, second chance, and third chance (the third chance is the highest) (see FIG. 5(b)). In addition, in this embodiment, since the chance piece is constructed in the middle of the fluctuating performance, the fluctuation of the three decorative symbols 80 (decorative symbol group 80g) has not completely stopped, but is pseudo-stopped. (a state that appears to the player to be stationary; for example, a state that is slightly swaying).

The third candidate event is one in which the suggestion image 20 is displayed in the display area 911 (suggestion image effect) (see FIGS. 4(f) and 4(g)). In this embodiment, one of the three first suggestion images 21 to third suggestion images 23 is displayed. The first suggestion image 21 is an image containing the words "opportunity", the second suggestion image 22 is an image containing the words "extremely hot", and the third suggestion image 23 is an image containing the words "determined". be. The jackpot reliability increases in the order of the first suggestion image 21, the second suggestion image 22, and the third suggestion image 23 (see FIG. 5(c)). When the third suggestion image 23 is displayed, it is confirmed that the target lottery result is a jackpot.

In addition, these pending change effects, chance effects, and suggestive image effects can occur not only as unit effects (candidate events) that make up a complex effect, but also in other situations (when the complex effect is not being executed). It is. In other words, the pending symbol 10 becoming the special mode 10s may occur without a unit effect occurring, and the creation of a chance may occur even without a unit effect occurring, and the suggestion The image 20 may be displayed even if no unit effect occurs.

In the composite performance, three unit performances occur in sequence. In each unit performance, one of the first to third candidate events occurs (see FIG. 4). Based on the target success/failure lottery results, it is determined which candidate event will occur in each unit performance. The occurrence pattern of candidate events in the composite effect is as shown in FIG.

The occurrence patterns can be broadly divided into three categories. Pattern A in which different types of candidate events occur in all unit performances (three times), two of the three unit performances have the same type of candidate events, and the other one occurs in the two times. There are three patterns: pattern B, in which a different type of candidate event occurs, and pattern C, in which the same type of candidate event occurs in all unit effects. The number of candidate event types is greater than or equal to the number of unit performances included in the composite performance (in this embodiment, "number of candidate event types = number of unit performances"), so all unit performances have different candidates. Pattern A in which an event occurs may occur. Pattern B is divided into pattern B-1 in which the first candidate event occurs twice, pattern B-2 in which the second candidate event occurs twice, and pattern B-3 in which the third candidate event occurs twice. Pattern B-1 is a pattern in which a first candidate event occurs twice and a second candidate event occurs once, and a pattern B-1-2 in which a first candidate event occurs twice and a third candidate event occurs once. It is divided into B-1-3. Pattern B-2 is a pattern in which the second candidate event occurs twice and the first candidate event occurs once, and a pattern in which the second candidate event occurs twice and the third candidate event occurs once. It is classified into B-2-3. Pattern B-3 is a pattern in which the third candidate event occurs twice and the first candidate event occurs once, and a pattern in which the third candidate event occurs twice and the second candidate event occurs once. It is classified into B-3-2. Pattern C is divided into pattern C-1 in which the first candidate event occurs three times, pattern C-2 in which the second candidate event occurs three times, and pattern C-3 in which the third candidate event occurs three times. Note that after the pattern to occur is determined based on the target success/failure lottery results, the order in which the candidate events occur is randomly determined. That is, in this embodiment, the order in which candidate events occur does not affect reliability.

As can be seen from FIG. 6, the total jackpot reliability of each pattern increases in the order of pattern A, pattern B (all patterns included in pattern B), and pattern C (all patterns included in pattern C). In other words, the case where the same type of candidate event occurs in two of the three unit performances (pattern B) is better than the case where different candidate events occur in all three unit performances (pattern A). is more reliable, and the same type of candidate event occurs in all three unit performances than when the same type of candidate event occurs in two of the three unit performances (pattern B). The reliability is higher in the case where the event occurs (pattern C). In summary, the reliability increases as the number of times the same type of candidate event occurs in the three unit presentations increases.

In this embodiment, when the same type of candidate event occurs two or more times in one composite performance, a "step-up" of reliability always occurs.

When the first candidate event occurs two or more times in one composite performance, the aspect of the pending symbol 10 (fluctuating pending symbol 11) that is shown as a result of the occurrence of the previous first candidate event is As a result of the candidate event occurring, the mode of the pending symbol 10 is considered to be a mode with higher jackpot reliability. In other words, when the first candidate event occurs two or more times, two or more stages of "pending change" occur. In addition, in a certain composite performance, if it is decided that the pending symbol 10 of the fourth special mode 104s (jackpot confirmed) is finally displayed, the first candidate event that occurs last (the last It is assumed that the pending symbol 10 reaches the fourth special mode 104s in the pending change).

If the second candidate event occurs two or more times in one composite performance, the chance that is shown as a result of the occurrence of a later second candidate event is greater than the chance that is shown as a result of the occurrence of the first second candidate event. Eyes are said to have higher jackpot reliability. In addition, in this embodiment, the second candidate event that occurs first in a certain composite effect is displayed as the first chance. Therefore, if the second candidate event occurs twice in one composite performance (in the case of pattern B-2), the second chance will be displayed in the end (at the second second candidate event). becomes. If the second candidate event occurs three times in one composite performance (in the case of pattern C-2), the third chance will finally be displayed (at the third second candidate event). .

When a third candidate event occurs two or more times in one composite performance, the suggestion image 20 is shown as a result of the occurrence of a later third candidate event rather than the suggestion image 20 that is shown as a result of the occurrence of the previous third candidate event. The suggestion image 20 is considered to have a higher jackpot reliability. Note that in this embodiment, the first suggestion image 21 is displayed as the third candidate event that occurs first in a certain composite effect. Therefore, when the third candidate event occurs twice in one composite performance (in the case of pattern B-3), the second suggestion image 22 is finally displayed (at the second third candidate event). Become something. When the third candidate event occurs three times in one composite performance (in the case of pattern C-3), the third suggestion image 23 is finally displayed (at the third third candidate event). Become. As mentioned above, the third suggestion image 23 is an image with a confirmed jackpot, so pattern C-3 is a pattern with a confirmed jackpot (100% reliability) (a pattern that occurs only when the target lottery result is a jackpot). (See Figure 6).

In this way, the composite performance in this embodiment is an interesting performance form in which the player wishes the same type of event to occur in each unit performance.

Hereinafter, specific examples of improving, embodying, modifying, etc. the matters related to the above-mentioned composite effects will be explained. Note that, as far as possible, a configuration may be adopted in which a plurality of techniques described using the following specific examples are applied in combination.

〇Specific example 1-1
The specific form of unit performance is as follows. A unit performance (all of the first to third performances) includes a first half and a subsequent second half (see FIG. 7). In the first half, one of a plurality of types of candidate events (first to third candidate events according to the above embodiment) is shown by the first half image 31. For example, if the first half is to indicate the first candidate event, the image (first half image 311) (see FIG. 7(a-1)) containing the words "reserved change" is the second candidate event. If the image (second half image 312) (see FIG. 7 (a-2)) including the characters "chance" is to indicate the third candidate event, then "reliable" It is assumed that an image (third first half image 313) (see FIG. 7(a-3)) including the characters "degree" is displayed in the display area 911. By adopting this aspect of the first half, the player feels that the event indicated by the image (characters) is about to occur.

In the second half, it is shown that the candidate event of the type indicated in the first half actually occurs. Regardless of the type of candidate event shown in the first half, in the second half, an image (second half image 32) containing the word "occurrence" is displayed in the display area 911 (see FIG. 7(b)). ). After the end of the second half, a candidate event (the event indicated in the first half (any one of the pending change effect, chance effect, or suggested image effect)) occurs. Here, in the second half, there is no case in which the candidate event indicated in the first half does not occur. In other words, the unit effect is such that the candidate event shown in the first half is clearly shown to actually occur in the second half.

The player who came into contact with the first half expects that the event indicated by the first half image 31 will occur in the future. However, in the first half, there is no display that clearly indicates that the event will definitely occur, so the player cannot be certain that the event will occur. In this example, since the second half that negates the occurrence of the event indicated in the first half does not occur, it is possible to provide a presentation form that does not disappoint the player's expectations.

〇Specific example 1-2 (a further specific example of specific example 1-1)
The first half is a "question," and the second half is presented as if it were an "answer." It is also possible to adopt a presentation form in which a first character who issues a "question" and a second character who issues an "answer" appear. The first half image 311 is "Is this a pending change?" (see FIG. 8 (a-1)), the second half image 312 is "Is it a chance?" (see FIG. 8 (a-2)), and the third half image 311 is "Is this a pending change?" The first half image 313 indicates that it is a "question" by having a format such as "Is this an expectation level display?" (see FIG. 8(a-3)).

Since the second half indicates that the candidate event indicated in the first half occurs, the second half image 32 is set to indicate an affirmative "answer." For example, an aspect such as "yes" or "YES" (see FIG. 8(b)) indicates that the event shown in the first half actually occurs.

It is common to think that not only positive answers but also negative answers can be given to questions. Therefore, the player who came into contact with the first half cannot be certain that the event indicated in the first half will occur. In this example, by making sure that the "answer" to the answer is positive, the candidate event shown in the first half is guaranteed to occur.

〇Specific example 1-3 (an example that further specifies specific example 1-1 and specific example 1-2)
The first half indicates a candidate event, and the second half indicates its occurrence (the first half does not indicate that the candidate event indicated in the first half does not occur). shall be suggested to the player at the time of. For example, in the case where the first half is a "question" and the second half is an "answer" as in Example 1-2, the first half should be told to "answer everything with 'yes'". It is assumed that an image (preliminary image 35) is displayed in the display area 911 (see FIG. 9(a)). In other words, it is assumed that the first half suggests that the "answer" in the second half will always be positive. Note that the preliminary image 35 is displayed from a stage where it is not known which candidate event will be shown in the first half (a stage before the first half image 31 is displayed (see FIG. 9(b))) (FIG. 9). (see (a)).

By doing this, the player can understand that the event indicated in the first half will occur in the future before reaching the second half, so what will happen in the first half? This is a performance form in which the player pays attention to whether an event (any of a plurality of candidate events) is shown. Even in the case of a structure consisting of a "question" and an "answer" as in Example 1-2, the player focuses on the "question" rather than the "answer" (normally, the "answer" '' is more important, but the preceding ``question'' is more important), which is a novel production form.

Note that the contents described in Specific Examples 1-1 to 1-3 can also be applied to performances in a manner different from composite performances (sub-effects of a plurality of unit performances). A structure in which a certain event is shown in the first half, the occurrence of the event is shown in the second half, and then the event actually occurs. It is also possible to adopt a mode in which the event occurs only once).

〇Specific example 1-4
Although it has been explained that the composite performance in the above embodiment includes three unit performances, the number of times can be changed as appropriate as long as it is two or more times. Note that if a pattern in which mutually different types of candidate events occur in all unit performances is to be created, the number of candidate event types should be greater than or equal to the number of unit performances included in the composite performance.

Further, the number of unit performances included in a composite performance may be changed each time a composite performance occurs (for example, one of X times to Y times (2≦X<Y)). Note that if a pattern in which mutually different types of candidate events occur in all unit effects is to be generated, the number of candidate event types is set to be equal to or greater than the above Y.

〇Specific example 1-5
It has been explained that the composite performance in the above embodiment is a performance form in which the reliability of jackpot increases as the number of times the same type of candidate event occurs increases, but whether the same candidate event occurs in all unit performances or not It is also possible to use a form of presentation where the main point is "ka". For example, if the same candidate event occurs in all unit performances, the target lottery result will be confirmed as a jackpot; otherwise, the target lottery result will be a loss (the same candidate event occurs in two of the three unit performances). Even if it occurs, it will be a miss).

〇Specific example 1-6
Although it has been explained that the composite performance in the above embodiment is executed in one fluctuating performance (from the start to the end of the composite performance is within one fluctuation), it is executed across multiple fluctuating performances. You can also use it as For example, in three successive fluctuating performances, the first unit performance is the first fluctuating performance, the second unit performance is the second fluctuating performance, and the third unit performance is the third troublesome performance. It is assumed that the unit performance of is executed. In other words, it is assumed that the composite performance is executed over the variation of the number of unit performances included in the composite performance. It is assumed that the target (target variation) of the reliability suggestion by the composite performance is the winning lottery result corresponding to the third fluctuating performance (the fluctuation in which the last unit performance occurs). In addition, when setting the above-mentioned pending change performance as one of the candidate events, the aspect of the pending symbol 10 that is the target of the reliability suggestion is changed.

By doing so, the composite effect also functions as a so-called pre-read effect. That is, since the unit effects other than the last unit effect occur in a variation before the target variation, the unit effects other than the last unit effect exhibit a "prereading" function. Note that the last unit performance is a performance that constitutes the fluctuation that is the target of "pre-reading."

2-2) Numerical Increase Performance The gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment is capable of executing a numerical value increase performance as a performance that constitutes the fluctuating performance. The numerical increase effect in this embodiment (including the post-effect that will be described later) is a type of reach effect (it is an effect that may occur when a reach is established). The numerical value increase performance (see FIG. 10) is a performance in which a performance numerical value N is displayed in the display area 911. The performance numerical value N includes a number (natural number) that increases (rises) with the passage of actual time. In this embodiment, the increase in the effect numerical value N starts from "0" (initial value = 0) (see FIGS. 10(a) and 10(b)), and when a predetermined stop condition is met, the effect is increased. The increase in the numerical value N stops (see FIG. 10(c)). The value when the increase stops is the final value. The final value suggests the jackpot reliability (probability that a benefit will be awarded) of the target winning lottery result (winning lottery result corresponding to a fluctuating performance including a numerical increase performance). In this embodiment, the final value represents the probability of hitting the jackpot itself. For example, if the final value is "70", the probability of hitting the jackpot is 70%. The final value is determined in advance by a lottery based on the target success/failure lottery results. In this lottery, the final value represents the above probability itself (however, the minimum unit of the performance value N is rounded off (in this embodiment, the performance value N changes in increments of "1", so the minimum unit is "1" and the decimal places are rounded off).For example, the exact probability is "70.3%" is "70%"). (distribution). For example, in the case where the final value is "70", assuming that it occurs 100 times, the lottery will be such that 70 times will be a jackpot and 30 times will be a loss. The maximum value of the final value is "100". In this case, the jackpot of the target lottery result is confirmed.

In this embodiment, the final value can be any number greater than or equal to 30. That is, the number of patterns that can occur as the final value is 71 types ranging from "30" to "100". However, the patterns that can be generated as the final value may be set in predetermined value increments, such as "30", "40", "50", . . . "100". Further, a part of the final value may be set not to indicate the jackpot probability itself. For example, a setting may be made such that a jackpot is confirmed when the final value is "77". That is, although the final value basically indicates the jackpot probability itself, a special value may be set as a so-called "premier" performance.

In the numerical value increase effect, the increasing speed of the effect value N is constant from the time when the increase in the effect value N is started until the increase is finished. In this embodiment, the performance value N increases by "1" every 0.1 seconds. In other words, the rate of increase of the performance numerical value N is 10/sec. Therefore, if the time from the increase start point at which the effect numerical value N starts to increase to the increase stop point at which the increase stops, the above-mentioned final values will be the same. For example, when the final value is "70" (in the example shown in FIG. 10), the time from the start of increase to the time of stop of increase is 7 seconds, and no other patterns occur. As described above, since the maximum final value is "100", the maximum time from the time when the increase starts to the time when the increase stops is 10 seconds. Therefore, the numerical value increase performance is a performance form in which the player desires that the increase in the performance numerical value N continues as long as possible without being stopped.

After such a numerical value increase effect, a post effect (see FIG. 11) is executed. The post performance is a performance that constitutes the same fluctuating performance as the numerical increase performance (the first fluctuating performance includes the numerical increase performance and the post performance), and is a performance in which it becomes clear whether or not the target win/fail lottery result will be a jackpot. It is. After the turning point on the way, the post-production will lead to an advantageous outcome (see Figure 11 (b-1)) if the target lottery result is a jackpot, and an unfavorable outcome (see Figure 11 (b-1)) if it is a loss. -2)) (advantageous outcomes include so-called reversal patterns in which an unfavorable outcome is once made to appear and then reversed). In other words, the probability indicated by the final value is the probability that the subsequent effect will lead to an advantageous outcome. In this embodiment, the post effect is such that an operation (single operation) of the operating means 70 (push button, etc.; see FIG. 1) is prompted (see FIG. 11(a)) within the valid operation period (see FIG. 11(a)), and this triggers an advantageous outcome ( (see FIG. 11(b-1)) or an unfavorable outcome (see FIG. 11(b-2)). The operation validity period starts at the same time as the start of the post performance. If the operating means 70 is not operated within the valid operation period, the end of the valid operation period will be used as an opportunity to reach an advantageous outcome or an unfavorable outcome. The player operates the operating means 70 while looking at the "probability" (that an advantageous outcome will be reached) indicated by the final value and hopes to reach an advantageous outcome.

The time required from the point in time when the performance numerical value N starts to increase in the numerical value increase performance until the subsequent performance starts is constant regardless of the final value (see FIG. 12). In this embodiment, the time point at which the post effect starts is also the time point at which the valid operation period starts, so the time from the time when the increase starts to the time point at which the valid operation period starts is constant. Since the post-production reaches its conclusion at the latest until the effective period of operation ends, it can be said that the maximum time from the start of increase until the conclusion is revealed is also constant.

As described above, since the speed of increase of the performance numerical value N in the numerical increase performance is constant, the time from the time when the increase starts to the time when the increase stops becomes longer as the final value becomes larger, and the maximum time is 10 seconds. As mentioned above, in this embodiment, the final value is one of "30" to "100", so the time from the time when the increase starts to the time when the increase stops varies between 3 and 10 seconds ( (see Figure 12).

On the other hand, in this embodiment, regardless of the final value, the time from the start of increase to the start of post effect is 11 seconds. The period from the time when the increase stops until the time when the post-performance starts is a length absorption period whose length changes according to the final value (see FIG. 12). For example, when the final value is "100", it takes 10 seconds from the time when the increase starts to the time when the increase stops, so the length of the scale absorption period is 1 second. Further, for example, when the final value is "50", it takes 5 seconds from the time when the increase starts to the time when the increase stops, so the length of the scale absorption period is 6 seconds. In this way, the larger the final value, the longer the time from the start of increase to the point of stop of increase, so the absorption period is shortened, no matter what the final value is. The length from the start of the increase to the start of the post performance is kept constant.

In this way, in the numerical value increasing effect in this embodiment, the increasing speed of the effect numerical value N is constant no matter what the final value is, that is, after the increase in the effect numerical value N is started. Since the final value is set to be the same if the actual time required to stop is the same, it is not possible to predict the magnitude of the final value based on the increasing speed. For effects like this where the numerical value increases, it is common to set the setting so that the increasing speed increases (easily increases) as the final value increases. However, in this embodiment, the rate of increase is constant regardless of the final value, so when the effect value N is increasing, the final value is completely unpredictable. It is an interesting form of production that is unpredictable.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the length from the time of start of increase to the time of start of post effect is made constant regardless of the final value. In other words, no matter what the final value is, the time that must be secured to execute the numerical increase performance will change from the time required for one fluctuating performance (so-called fluctuation time). This means that there is no change (in this embodiment, it remains unchanged at 11 seconds). Therefore, there is an advantage that the control (lottery) for determining the specific form of the fluctuating performance (so-called fluctuation pattern) including the numerical value increase performance becomes easy.

Hereinafter, specific examples of improving, embodying, modifying, etc. the matters related to the above-mentioned numerical value increase effect will be explained. Note that, as far as possible, a configuration may be adopted in which a plurality of techniques described using the following specific examples are applied in combination.

〇Specific example 2-1
In the numerical value increase performance in the above embodiment, it has been explained that the increase speed of the performance numerical value N from the time when the increase starts to the time when the increase stops is constant, but the performance numerical value N may change in the middle. For example, the increase speed increases as the last digit of the performance numerical value N increases, that is, the increase speed gradually increases from "0" to "9", and the increase speed decreases again at "10". , the increasing speed may gradually increase from "10" to "19", etc., so that the increasing speed may change over time (see FIG. 13). In other words, although the rate of increase changes over time, the rate of increase at a certain point (instant) is determined by the performance value N at that time (the rate of increase at the moment when the performance value N is a "certain value" is the same every time) ).

Even in this case, the final value will be the same if the actual time from the start of the increase to the stop of the increase in the effect value N is the same, so depending on the manner in which the effect value N increases, the final value will be the same. This results in a presentation form where the value is unpredictable.

〇Specific example 2-2
Although it has been explained that the final value shown in the numerical increase performance in the above embodiment represents the probability that the target lottery result will be a jackpot, it may be configured not to represent the probability itself. However, if the final value is larger (unless it is set to a value that will guarantee a jackpot, such as "77"), the probability that the lottery result will be a jackpot is higher than if the final value is small. Assume that the relationship that the value is high is maintained. For example, if the final value is "70", the jackpot probability is not 70%, and if the final value is "60", the jackpot probability is not 60%, but the final value is "70". The probability of hitting the jackpot in the case where the final value is "60" is higher than the probability of hitting the jackpot in the case where the final value is "60".

〇Specific example 2-3
Although it has been explained that the numerical value increase performance in the above embodiment is such that the performance numerical value N increases by "1" (the minimum unit is "1"), the increase unit can be changed as appropriate. The number may be increased by "10" or may be increased by "0.1".

〇Specific example 2-4
It is also possible to use a performance form in which the performance value N decreases. That is, an initial value (for example, "100") of the performance numerical value N is set, and the numerical value decreases from the initial value as time passes. If the actual time required from the start of the reduction (reduction from the initial value) to the stop of the reduction in the performance numerical value N is the same, the final values are configured to be the same. For example, the speed at which the performance value N decreases is kept constant from the start to the stop of the decrease in the performance value N.

Similar to the above embodiment, if the setting is such that the larger the final value is, the higher the probability that the target lottery result will be a jackpot becomes a performance form in which the player hopes that the reduction in the performance value N will stop quickly (“Stop ” (contrary to the above embodiment where the timing is desired to be delayed). In addition, contrary to the above embodiment, if the setting is such that the smaller the final value is, the higher the probability that the target winning lottery result will be a jackpot, the effect form in which the player desires that the decrease in the effect value N continues as long as possible. (This is the same as in the above embodiment in which the "stop" timing is desired to be delayed).

〇Specific example 2-5
In the post-production performed after the numerical value increase production in the above-described embodiment, the outcome is determined by operating the operating means 70 (the target lottery result is determined by reaching an advantageous outcome or an unfavorable outcome). Although described above, the configuration does not have to be such that the outcome is determined by the player's actions. That is, a configuration may be adopted in which the ending is automatically revealed after a certain period of time has passed after the post-effect is started (the ending is revealed). As mentioned above, regardless of the final value, the length from the start of the increase to the start of the post-effect is constant, so if you do it like this example, the transition will be from the start of the increase to the ending with the post-effect. The length up to the point (the turning point at which the game transitions to the ending depending on the target success/failure lottery results) is constant. In other words, regardless of the final value, the length from the time when the numerical value starts increasing to the time when the ending is revealed is constant. For example, as in the above embodiment, the time from the start of numerical increase to the start of the post-effect is constant at 11 seconds, and the time from the start of the post-effect to the time when the ending is revealed is constant at 5 seconds. If there is, the length from the time when the numerical value starts increasing to the time when the outcome is revealed is constant at 16 seconds (see FIG. 14).

〇Specific example 2-6
In the numerical value increase effect, while the effect value N is increasing, the effect image 40, which is an image different from the effect value N, is displayed in the display area 911 (see FIG. 15). The effect image 40 is displaced over time while the effect value N is increasing (see FIG. 15(b)). When the effect image 40 is displayed at a predetermined position (stopped at a predetermined position), the effect value N stops increasing and the final value is shown (see FIG. 15(c)). In other words, since the performance value N continues to increase until the performance image 40 stops at the predetermined position, the player wishes the performance image 40 not to be located at the predetermined position.

The effect image 40 can be adapted to the motif of the effect. For example, the numerical value increase effect may be an effect showing a situation where an enemy character is displayed and the player is aiming to attack the enemy character (see FIG. 15). It is assumed that something representing "scope" is displayed as the effect image 40 in such a situation. When the "scope" is located at a predetermined position (for example, a position surrounding the face of the enemy character) (see FIG. 15(c)), it becomes a presentation form that makes it appear as if the target is "aimed." In other words, the effect is such that the effect value N continues to increase until the target is in a "targeted" state.

If such a numerical value increase effect is to be used, it is preferable that the subsequent effect is also adapted accordingly. For example, it is assumed that a post-effect is generated to determine whether or not it is possible to defeat (win) the enemy character that appeared in the numerical value increase effect (see FIG. 16). In other words, defeating (winning) the enemy character is set as an advantageous ending (see FIG. 16(b-1)), and not being able to defeat the enemy character is set as an unfavorable ending (see FIG. 16(b-2)). do. By doing so, the numerical value increase effect and the subsequent effect can be smoothly presented as a series of effects.

Note that it is one example that the effect value N stops increasing when the effect image 40 is positioned at a predetermined position, and other examples are also possible. In other words, the increase in the effect value N may be stopped when the elements constituting the effect image 40, such as the shape and color of the effect image 40, as well as the "position," satisfy a predetermined condition. .

〇Specific example 2-7 (a further specific example of specific example 2-6)
When the effect position is not at the predetermined position (that is, the increase in the effect value N has not stopped), a mark M indicating the predetermined position (see FIG. 17(a); indicated by a dotted line in the drawing) ) is preferably displayed (the "goal" of the effect image 40 is displayed). In a state where the effect image 40 and the mark M do not match, the effect value N continues to increase, and the effect image 40 and the mark M match (the relative positional relationship between the effect image 40 and the mark M is a predetermined relationship) ), the increase in the performance value N will stop. By doing this, the player can feel that the increase in the performance value N will stop when the performance image 40 and the mark M match, even though the performance value N is increasing. be able to.

2-3) Specific Performance The gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment is capable of executing a specific performance (see FIGS. 18 to 21) as a performance that constitutes the fluctuating performance. In the specific performance, the basic performance occurs multiple times (see FIG. 18). In a specific production, the number of times the basic production occurs (hereinafter referred to as N (times)) is suggested before the first basic production is executed (before the result of the first basic production is known). Ru. In this embodiment, the number of occurrences is suggested in advance by displaying the number of times image 50 in the display area 911 (see FIG. 19(a)). Therefore, the player can understand that the Nth basic performance after the start of the specific performance is the last basic performance. Note that the number of occurrences N suggested here is the maximum number of occurrences of the basic production in the specific production (this is the number of basic productions that occur in the case of a failure ending, which will be described later, or in the case of a normal success pattern). . In the case of a special success pattern to be described later, the number of occurrences of the basic performance is less than the number of occurrences N indicated by the number of times image 50. Further, in this embodiment, the value of the number of occurrences N shown in the number of times image 50 can change each time (every time a specific effect occurs). However, the value of N may be set to be constant.

The basic effects are those that lead to “specific results” (see Figure 19 (b-1) (c-1)) or “non-specific results” (see Figure 19 (b-2) (c-2)). It is. A result that is advantageous to the player is that a specific result is reached, and a result that is disadvantageous to the player is that a non-specific result is reached without reaching a specific result. While a specific performance is being executed, a remaining number image 51 indicating the remaining number of basic performances that can be performed is displayed (Fig. 19 (b-1) (b-2) (c-1) ( c-2)). Although not shown, in a state before the result of the first specific performance is obtained, the remaining number of times represented by the remaining number image 51 is set to N. That is, the value shown in the number image 50 is the initial value of the value shown in the remaining number image 51. Thereafter, each time the result of the specific performance is obtained, the value indicated by the remaining number image 51 decreases. As will be described later, the basic performance can be said to be a "chance" to obtain a specific result, and the remaining number image 51 indicates a change in the remaining number of "chance" opportunities.

If the winning/failure lottery results corresponding to the fluctuating performance including the specific performance are the target winning/failure determination results, then the specific performance suggests the probability that the target winning/failure lottery result will be a jackpot based on the number of times the basic performance results in a specific result. In the specific performance in this embodiment, the number of times the basic performance reaches a specific result reaches the target number is set as a successful ending that is advantageous to the player, and the number of times that the basic performance does not reach the target number of times is set as a failed ending that is disadvantageous to the player. (See Figure 18). In this embodiment, the target number of times T is set to 3 times. In other words, the specific effect is a successful outcome if the basic effect reaches the specific result three times, and a failed outcome otherwise. Note that in this embodiment, the target number of times is constant. However, the target number of times may change each time. Furthermore, in the specific performance in this embodiment, a target image 52 indicating the target number of times is displayed before the first basic performance is executed (before the result of the first basic performance is known). 19(a)). This allows the player to grasp the target number of times at the beginning of the specific performance.

Further, while the specific effect is being executed, the remaining number of specific results required to achieve the goal (or the number of specific results that have already occurred) is displayed as an intermediate progress image 53. As a result, the player can grasp how many times the specific result needs to be achieved in order to achieve the goal even during the specific performance (Figure 19 (b-1) (b-2) (c -1) (see c-2)).

In this way, since the "goal" is set for the basic effect to reach a specific result three times, the number of times the basic effect occurs in one specific effect is naturally more than 3 times (target number of times). (Because if you don't do this, you won't be able to reach a successful ending). In this embodiment, the maximum number of times N of the basic performance that occurs in one specific performance is set to be equal to or greater than "target number of times T+1", that is, equal to or greater than 4 times. Therefore, even if the basic performance that leads to a non-specific result occurs once, there is a possibility that it will lead to a successful outcome. From the player's point of view, a specific performance is a form of performance in which "chance" opportunities are given N times, and success or failure depends on whether or not you can get T of them (resulting in a specific result). .

The specific aspect of the specific performance (basic performance) in this embodiment is as follows. In the specific performance, an ally character that is the player's character and an enemy character facing the ally character are displayed. In the basic performance, an ally character attacks an enemy character. The result that the attack hits is a specific result (see Figure 19 (b-1) (c-1)), and the result that does not hit is a non-specific result (see Figure 19 (b-2) (c-2)). be. In addition, by pretending that the attack did not hit (pretending that it reached a non-specific result), it is made so that a specific result (reversal pattern) that reverses it (the attack hits) can occur. Good too. When the number of times the attack hits reaches the target number (three times), the enemy character goes down. A successful ending is when the enemy character reaches a downed state (see Figures 20(b-1) and 21(b-1)), and a failed ending is when the enemy character does not reach a downed state (see Figure 20(b-1)). 2)). Although not shown, it is preferable that the enemy character be displayed as becoming weaker each time a specific result occurs. In other words, it is preferable that the occurrence of a specific result makes it possible to understand that a successful outcome is approaching, based on a change in the enemy character.

In this embodiment, the probability that the target winning/failure lottery result will be a jackpot ((jackpot) reliability) is set to be higher when the specific effect has a successful ending than when it has an unsuccessful ending. ing. In the present embodiment, if the specific effect reaches a failure ending (see FIG. 20(b-2)), it is determined that the target success/failure lottery result will be a loss (reliability = 0%). On the other hand, if the specific effect leads to a successful ending (see Figure 20 (b-1) and Figure 21 (b-1)), there is a possibility that the target lottery result will be a jackpot (reliability ≠ 0%) . In other words, the successful outcome is more advantageous to the player than the unsuccessful outcome in that there remains a possibility that the result of the target lottery will be a jackpot. It should be noted that even if the outcome is a failure, there is a possibility that the result of the target lottery will be a jackpot (reliability≠0%). However, the relationship "reliability when a successful outcome is reached>reliability when an unsuccessful outcome is reached" should hold true.

Specific performances that lead to a successful ending are broadly classified into a normal success pattern (normal successful ending) and a special success pattern (special successful ending) (see FIG. 18). The normal success pattern is a pattern that leads to a successful outcome when the Nth basic performance after the start of the specific performance results in a specific result. In other words, it is a pattern that leads to a successful ending when the final basic performance becomes a specific result. In accordance with this embodiment, the specific result has occurred twice before the Nth basic performance, and the Nth basic performance becomes the specific result (see FIG. 20 (a-1)). If the result is a non-specific result (see Figure 20 (a-2)), the result is a failure (see Figure 20 (b-1)). In such a situation, a case where the Nth basic performance results in a specific result is usually a successful pattern. That is, this is a pattern in which the Nth basic performance (the last basic performance) goes through a situation where the Nth basic performance (last basic performance) is a "branch" of success or failure, and then reaches a successful conclusion. For example, if the number of times image 50 indicates that the number of occurrences of the basic effect is 5, two of the 1st to 4th basic effects will be the specific result, and 2 will be the non-specific effect. A normal success pattern is that the fifth basic performance becomes a specific result (see FIG. 20(a-1)) after obtaining a specific result (see FIG. 20(b-1)).

The special success pattern is a pattern that reaches a successful ending before the Nth basic performance is executed after the specific performance is started. In other words, after the specific effect has started, the specific effect has been executed less than N-1 times, and 3 specific results have occurred, resulting in a successful ending (the basic effect has not been executed N times) (a pattern that led to a successful outcome). From the player's point of view, knowing that the number of occurrences of the basic effect shown in the number of times image 50, that is, the number of times of the given "chance", is N, the given "chance" It can be said that this is a pattern in which a successful outcome was achieved by leaving out "opportunities". For example, if the number of times image 50 indicates that the number of occurrences of the basic effect is 5, it is a specific effect, then the special success pattern (" A special success pattern in which two of the 1st to 3rd basic effects have a specific result and the 4th basic effect is a specific result (a pattern in which there are 2 extra opportunities for ``chance'') This means that a pattern in which there is one more chance of "" may occur. FIG. 21 shows that in a specific performance where the number of times image 50 indicates that the basic performance occurs 5 times, the fourth unit performance becomes the specific result (see FIG. 21 (a-1)). This shows an example of a special success pattern (see FIG. 21(b-1)).

Note that in the case of a successful outcome, the probability that it will be a special success pattern is lower than the probability that it will be a normal success pattern. In other words, the special success pattern can be said to be a "rare" successful outcome.

In this way, the special success pattern is a pattern in which the given "chance" was left over and the pattern reached a successful ending, so there is a possibility that the player may feel that it is "wasted" (wasted). be. In order to reduce such "waste", in this embodiment, even if a specific effect reaches a successful ending, it is more likely to be a special success pattern than a normal success pattern. The setting is such that the reliability of the jackpot for the target success/failure lottery results is high. In other words, if the reliability is higher when a "chance" opportunity is left over than when it is not left over, then players will feel "waste" for leaving a "chance" opportunity behind. The probability is lowered, and it becomes an interesting presentation form in which the player hopes to reach a successful ending as soon as possible (the number of basic presentations executed until reaching a successful ending is as small as possible).

When a special success pattern occurs, a reliability increasing effect (see FIG. 21(c-1)) occurs that suggests that the reliability of the target success/failure lottery result has increased. The reliability increase performance is a performance that does not normally occur when a successful pattern is achieved. A special success pattern is one that leads to a successful ending by leaving behind the basic performance that would otherwise have been executed (in the case of a normal success pattern or failure ending), so the "extra" basic To generate a reliability increasing performance instead of a performance. The specific form of the reliability increasing performance may be any mode as long as the player can recognize that the reliability has increased. In this embodiment, a further attack is launched against the downed enemy character, and an image containing the words "Reliability UP" (characters indicating that the reliability has increased) is displayed as a reliability increase effect. Ru.

Since the reliability increasing effect occurs in place of the "surplus" basic effects, the number of the "surplus" basic effects (the number of basic effects that did not need to be executed to reach a successful ending) Occurs a number of times depending on. It is suggested in advance that the basic performance can occur N times in the number of times image 50, and the Mth basic performance after the start of the specific performance (N>M) becomes a specific result, resulting in success. When the special success pattern that leads to the conclusion is reached, NM reliability increasing effects occur (see "*" in FIG. 18 and FIG. 21(c-1)). It is set such that the larger the value of NM (the more times the reliability increasing effect occurs), the higher the reliability of the jackpot of the target success/failure lottery result becomes. If we compare specific effects with the same value of N (or if we set the value of N to be constant), we can find out the number of basic effects executed from the start of the specific effect to the successful conclusion. The smaller the number, the higher the reliability of the jackpot of the target success/failure lottery result.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the larger the value of N, the higher the probability of reaching a successful outcome. The probability of a special success pattern is set higher than the probability of a special success pattern. Furthermore, it is set that the larger the value of N is, the more likely the number of "surplus" basic performances will be when a special success pattern is achieved. In other words, the larger the value of N, the more likely the number of occurrences of the reliability increase performance that occurs when the special success pattern occurs.

If the specific performance has a successful outcome, after the specific performance, a post-success performance (see FIG. 22) is executed in which the lottery result of the object is determined. As the conclusion of the successful presentation, there is a winning ending (see FIG. 22 (b-1)) in which an image indicating that the situation has become advantageous to the player is displayed, and a situation that has become disadvantageous to the player. A negative ending (see FIG. 22(b-2)) is set in which an image showing an image is displayed. In other words, if the target lottery result is a jackpot, it will lead to a winning ending (the winning ending includes a so-called reversal pattern in which it is pretended to have reached a losing ending and then is reversed), and if it is a loss, it will be a winning ending. Come to the end.

In this embodiment, the post-success performance that is executed after the specific performance becomes a normal success pattern and the post-success performance that is executed after the specific performance becomes a special success pattern (the performance before the ending is known) are different. It's set. For example, the post-success performance after the special success pattern (see Figure 22 (a-2)) is more ``weakened state'' than the post-success performance after the normal success pattern (see Figure 22 (a-1)). It is conceivable to create a presentation mode in which the enemy character "" is displayed. By doing this, it is emphasized whether the specific performance is a normal success pattern or a special success pattern, and it is also emphasized that the special success pattern has a higher chance compared to the (normal success pattern). Ru. Furthermore, although not shown, with regard to the post-success performance that is executed after the special success pattern, different modes of post-success performance are performed depending on the number of times the reliability increase performance has been performed (the value of NM). Good too. For example, the more times the reliability increasing performance is executed, the more "weakened" the enemy character may be displayed.

However, this does not negate the possibility of having a configuration in which the mode of performance after a success is the same (indistinguishable to the player) regardless of whether the pattern is a normal success pattern or a special success pattern. do not have.

In summary, the probability that the post-success performance will lead to a winning outcome (that is, the reliability of the target success/failure lottery results) is higher when the special success pattern occurs than when the normal success pattern results. Furthermore, even in the case of a special success pattern, the higher the number of "remaining" basic performances (that is, the greater the number of reliability-increasing performances that have occurred), the higher the probability. If specific performances with the same value of N are compared, the smaller the number of basic performances executed until reaching a successful ending (until the specific result occurs three times), the higher the performance.

Hereinafter, specific examples of improving, embodying, modifying, etc. the matters related to the above-mentioned specific effects will be explained. Note that, as far as possible, a configuration may be adopted in which a plurality of techniques described using the following specific examples are applied in combination.

〇Specific example 3-1
It is assumed that the value of N mentioned above is suggested by the number of established “reaches” (the number of reach lines). “Reach” itself is well known, so its explanation will be omitted. It is assumed that the specific performance is a type of reach performance that may occur when a reach is achieved. Specifically, a single reach (reach line) in which two decorative patterns 80 (for example, left decorative pattern 80L and right decorative pattern 80R) selected from two of the three decorative pattern groups 80g are the same decorative pattern 80. A specific effect may be started when a reach (one reach) is established (see FIG. 23(a)). After that, before the first basic effect starts in the specific effect (before the result of the first basic effect is known), the reach line increase effect (see Figure 23 (b) and (c)) occurs. do. That is, the types of symbols used as the left decorative symbol 80L and the right decorative symbol 80R increase, and accordingly, the number of ready-to-reach patterns, that is, the number of ready-to-reach lines increases.

Ultimately, the number of reach results becomes the value of N mentioned above in the specific performance (see FIG. 23(d)). That is, the number of reach establishments becomes the maximum number of basic performances that can occur in the specific performance (the number of basic performances that occur when a failure ending or a normal success pattern occurs). As described above, the value of N indicates the number of "chance" opportunities, and as the number of reach opportunities increases, the number of "chance" opportunities increases. In general, it is known that the higher the number of reach successes (the number of reach lines), the greater the chance of a jackpot. It is possible to create an easy-to-understand presentation format in which opportunities (maximum number of occurrences of basic presentation) are linked.

In addition, if it is done as in this example, "the maximum number of ready-to-reach establishments = the maximum value of the value of N = the number of types of decorative symbols". For example, if seven types from "1" to "7" are set as the decorative pattern 80, the maximum value of N is seven types. From the player's point of view, the maximum number of "chance" opportunities that may result in a specific result matches the number of types of decorative patterns 80, resulting in an easy-to-understand presentation form. If a reach is achieved with all types of decorative patterns 80, the target winning lottery result may be set to be a jackpot.

〇Specific example 3-2 (a further specific example of specific example 3-1)
As mentioned above, it is assumed that the specific performance is executed after a plurality of reaches are established. Each basic performance is associated with one of a plurality of types of decorative patterns 80 that constitute a reach. For example, when a reach is achieved using the decorative symbols 80 of "2" to "5" (number of reach establishments = 4) (see FIG. 24(a)), the first basic performance is "2". The second basic performance occurs as a response to the reach of "3" (see Figure 24(c)), and so on. , basic effects are executed as those corresponding to various decorative patterns 80 constituting the reach. In addition, in order to show the corresponding relationship, while a certain basic performance is being executed, the decorative pattern 80 of the type corresponding to the certain basic performance (the pattern forming the reach) is different from the decorative pattern of other types. Displayed larger than 80 (most prominently).

With such a configuration, it is assumed that the result of the basic presentation is suggested by the type of decorative pattern 80. For example, a basic performance that corresponds to the reach of an "odd number" decorative symbol 80 is more likely to produce a specific result (a result advantageous to the player) than a basic performance that corresponds to the reach of an "even number" decorative symbol 80. It is conceivable to set it as a setting. Furthermore, a configuration may be adopted in which a decorative pattern 80 that determines a specific result is set, such as a basic effect corresponding to the reach of the decorative pattern 80 of "7" that is certain to result in a specific result (FIG. 24(d)) reference).

By doing this, a performance form is created in which the player pays attention not only to the number of reached wins, but also to the types of decorative symbols 80 that make up each reach.

〇Specific example 3-3
In the middle of a specific performance (after the result of at least one basic performance is shown, but before the specific performance reaches its conclusion), there is a performance in which the value of N increases (hereinafter referred to as an increasing performance). shall occur. That is, it is assumed that the value of N (the value shown in the number of times image 50) shown at the beginning of the specific performance may increase during the course. As mentioned above, since the value of N indicates the number of "chance" opportunities, it can be said that the occurrence of the increase effect is a pleasant event for the player.

It is preferable that the increase effect specifically indicates the increased value of N. For example, while a specific effect is being executed, a remaining number image 51 indicating the remaining number of basic effects that may occur is displayed, and this indicates that the value of the remaining number image 51 is increasing. It is assumed that the performance occurs as an increase performance. Specifically, the value to be added to the remaining number image 51 is clearly displayed, such as "+1" if the value of N increases by 1, "+2" if the value of N increases by 2, and so on. By doing so, the player can understand that the number of "chance" opportunities has increased.

〇Specific example 3-4
In the above embodiment, in the case of a special success pattern, NM reliability increasing performances will occur, that is, reliability increasing performances will occur for the number of "extra" basic performances. As described above, regardless of the value of "NM", the reliability increasing performance may occur once.

In this case, the setting may be such that the magnitude of the value of "NM" does not affect the reliability. That is, irrespective of the value of "NM", if a special success pattern is achieved, the same reliability increasing performance will occur. Differently from this, a setting may be made in which the magnitude of the value of "NM" influences the reliability. For example, if "N-M=1", the first reliability increase effect, if "N-M=2", the second reliability increase effect, and "N-M=3" In some cases, a third reliability increasing performance occurs (the manner of each reliability increasing performance is different from each other), and so on, a reliability increasing performance occurs in a manner corresponding to the value of "NM". In this way, it may be suggested to the player that the degree of increase in reliability is different.

〇Specific example 3-5 (special identification result)
As one aspect of the basic effect specification results, a normal specification result (same as the specification result explained in the above embodiment) and a special specification result (see FIG. 25) are set. It is assumed that the special identification result is the same as the occurrence of the normal identification result C times (C is 2 or more). For example, if C=2, the special identification result is treated the same as the two normal identification results. As in the above embodiment, if the target number of times is 3 and only the normal identification result occurs, the condition for a successful outcome is that the normal identification result occurs 3 times. If a special identification result occurs, one normal identification result and one special identification result will lead to a successful outcome.

When a special identification result is reached, it is preferable that a display is made so that the player can understand that the special identification result is the same as the normal identification result C times. For example, the normal identification result is the display of "HIT" indicating that the attack hit the enemy (see Figure 19 (b-1) (b-2)), and the special identification result is the display of "HIT" indicating that the attack hit the enemy. "HIT x 2" is displayed to indicate that "" has occurred twice (see FIG. 25(b)). A special identification result in which C=T (target number of times) may be set. In other words, it may be possible to reach the goal all at once with one basic performance.

By making a special specific result occur as in this example, there is a possibility that a situation may occur in which the goal is quickly approached or reached in one basic performance, so it is unexpected and the final It will be a performance that you can't take your eyes off of. In addition, when a successful ending is reached after the occurrence of a special specific result, the number of "surplus" basic effects is likely to increase, and the reliability is likely to be high (reliability increasing effects are likely to occur). Become.

〇Specific example 3-6 (special non-specific result)
The basic performance is one that leads to a specific result that is advantageous to the player or a non-specific result that is a result when the specific result is not reached. The configuration is such that a normal non-specific result (see FIG. 26(a)) and a special non-specific result (see FIG. 26(b)) are set as the non-specific results. When a certain basic performance results in a non-specific result, the probability that it will be a normal non-specific result is higher than the probability that it will be a special non-specific result. That is, the normal non-specific result is a "normal" (basic) non-specific result, and the special non-specific result is a "rare" non-specific result.

When a certain basic effect (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the previous basic effect) results in a non-specific result, it is more likely that it will be a special non-specific result than if it is a normal non-specific result. It is set so that the probability that at least one of the one or more basic effects that occur, the target basic effect, becomes a specific result is increased. In other words, the special non-specific result suggests that there is an increased probability that the basic performance that occurs thereafter will be a specific result. Since it is advantageous for the player for the basic performance to result in a specific result, even if the previous basic performance leads to a non-specific result, it is more advantageous for the player to have a special non-specific result than if it is a normal non-specific result. This means that it is more advantageous for the player if the result is the same.

The performance mode of the specific result, normal non-specific result, and special non-specific result may be of any type as long as the player can understand the difference between the modes. As in the above embodiment, if the basic effect is for an ally character to attack an enemy character, the specific result is that the attack hits cleanly, and the non-specific result is that the attack does not hit at all (Fig. 26(a)), an idea is to make the slight hit of the attack (an aspect indicating that the damage inflicted on the enemy character is smaller than the specific result) a special non-specific result (see FIG. 26(b)). It will be done.

In addition, since a special non-specific result suggests that the target basic performance that occurs after that will be a specific result, the last basic performance that makes up a certain specific performance will not be a special non-specific result. It would be good if it were done like this. In other words, if the final basic performance results in a non-specific result, it is preferable that the setting is normally made to result in a non-specific result.

By doing as in this example, even if a certain basic performance (previous basic performance) does not have an advantageous result (in the case of a non-specific result), the target basic performance that occurs after that will be advantageous. This result (special non-specific result) is an interesting form of production.

In particular, the specific effect is based on the premise that the goal is for the specific result to occur T times (three times in the above embodiment), and in the case of a failure ending, the basic effect will be canceled with one specific effect. This occurs N times (more than T times). In other words, since the goal is to obtain a specific result T times in N "chances," the player gets the impression that at least one basic performance is "extra." In other words, even before the outcome of the specific performance is known, the player feels that one of the basic performances will have a disappointing result (non-specific result), and a non-specific result actually occurs. (Indeed, even if the ending is successful, if it is a normal success pattern (not a special success pattern that is "rare" to occur) , it is true that a non-specific result occurs at least once). By doing as in this example, it is possible to give meaning to an unfortunate result (non-specific result) that the player thinks will occur anyway (even if it is a non-specific result, it is possible to give meaning to it). (This is a form of presentation in which the player hopes for a special non-specific result.) Therefore, a decrease in interest due to the occurrence of a non-specific result is suppressed.

It is also possible to modify, embody, etc. the configuration in which such a special non-specific result is set as described below. Note that, as far as possible, a configuration may be adopted in which the examples described below are combined.

(B) If a certain basic performance (the previous basic performance) results in a special non-specific result, any of the basic performances that occur after that (target basic performance) will be set as a specific result. In other words, the setting is such that the probability that the target basic performance results in a specific result is 100% (see FIG. 27(a)). With such a configuration, when a special non-specific result occurs, any of the subsequent basic effects will always result in a specific result.

(B) The target basic performance is set to be the next basic performance after a certain basic performance (previous basic performance) (see FIG. 27(b)). In other words, when a certain basic performance (previous basic performance) results in a special non-specific result, the probability that the next basic performance (target basic performance) will result in a specific result is higher than when it normally results in a non-specific result. Set to high. By doing this, the basic effect of the suggestion target based on the special non-specific result is immediately (next) generated, which has the advantage that the suggestion based on the special non-specific result is easy to understand. After the target basic performance ends, the process proceeds as usual (the effect of the special non-specific result disappears). In this case, if the setting is as in (a) above, if a certain basic effect (the previous basic effect) results in a special non-specific result, it is certain that the next basic effect will be a specific result. The structure is as follows.

(c) If a certain basic performance (previous basic performance) results in a special non-specific result, all subsequent basic performances (next basic performance) The setting is such that the probability of obtaining a specific result is increased. In other words, the setting is such that all basic performances that occur after a certain basic performance (the previous basic performance) are target basic performances (see FIG. 27(c)). By doing this, the effect of the special non-specific result continues until the specific effect ends (until the ending of the specific effect is known).

(d) If a special non-specific result occurs (see Figure 28(a)), at least until the result of the target basic performance is known (if there are two or more target basic performances, the result of the last target basic performance is Until it becomes clear), an image (effect image 58) suggesting that the probability of a specific result is increased is displayed (see FIG. 28(b)). By doing this, players can understand that a special non-specific result is a so-called chance up that increases the probability of a specific result, and whether or not they are in a situation where they can expect a specific result. The player can easily determine whether the situation has ended or not.
Although not shown in the figure, by setting the enemy character that is the target of the attack in a special mode different from the normal mode (for example, a mode indicating that the enemy character is in a situation where the attack is likely to hit), the probability of a specific result can be increased. The configuration may be such that the enemy character in the "special mode" corresponds to the "effect image" described above. By doing so, it is possible to clearly show that the probability of obtaining a specific result is high.

(E) The configuration of this example can also be applied to a specific effect different from the above embodiment. It is possible to apply this method to a case where a plurality of basic effects are executed and the jackpot reliability of the target win/fail lottery results is suggested based on the number of times the basic effects have a specific result. For example, even if it is a specific effect (the concept of "target number of times" explained in the above embodiment is not set) that the more times the basic effect has a specific result, the higher the reliability of the jackpot of the target lottery result is. good.

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

The matters described in the above embodiment can also be applied to other gaming machines such as a reel-type gaming machine, except that the configuration unique to the pachinko gaming machine is utilized.
