Hereinafter, one embodiment of the 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 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 winning opening 904, a big winning opening 906, an out opening 907, and the like. The display area 911 of the display device 91 is an area that is visible through the opening 901 formed in the game board 90. Note that the shape and the like of the display area 911 can be changed as appropriate (the shape and the like of the display area 911 can be changed by changing the shape and size of the opening 901 and the shape and size of the display device 91 itself). .

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 the game balls flowing down the gaming area 902 enter a winning opening such as the starting winning opening 904 or the big winning opening 906, a predetermined number of winning balls are paid out by the payout device.

The jackpot lottery is executed by a propriety determining means provided on a control board (not shown) triggered by the winning of a game ball into the starting winning hole 904 (a plurality of such starting winning holes may be provided). Specifically, when a game ball enters the starting prize opening 904, a numerical value (win/fail determination 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. , if they are different, it will be an outlier. In this embodiment, the notification of the validity judgment results starts in the order in which the numerical values are acquired (so-called fluctuation starts), but when a certain numerical value is acquired, When a numerical value-based validity determination result is notified, it is stored in a storage means provided on a control board (not shown) until the validity determination result based on a certain numerical value is started. The maximum number of stored numerical values (maximum pending number) for which notification of propriety determination has not yet started (hereinafter also simply referred to as pending) can be set as appropriate. The maximum number of reservations that can be stored by the storage means in this embodiment is four per kind of starting winning hole 904. The fact that the above numerical value (validity determination information) is stored in the storage means is displayed as a pending symbol 80 (see FIG. 2). In addition, in this embodiment, it is determined whether the acquired numerical value is a numerical value that will be a jackpot at the time when the notification of the validity determination is started, but the validity determination is performed when the numerical value is acquired. , the validity determination result itself may be stored (in this case, the validity determination result itself corresponds to the validity determination information). Furthermore, the acquired numerical value is also used as a numerical value for determining the specific content of the performance that notifies the result of the validity determination.

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.

In this embodiment, similar to known gaming machines, the player is notified of the result of the judgment based on the combination of identification symbols 70 (see FIG. 2) displayed in the display area 911 of the display device 91. Specifically, the identification symbol group 70g (left identification symbol group 70gL, middle identification symbol group 70gC, right identification symbol group 70gR) including multiple types of identification symbols 70 starts to fluctuate, and finally each identification symbol group 70g The first identification symbol 70 is selected and stopped. When a jackpot is won, the combination of the stopped identification symbols 70 selected from each identification symbol group 70g becomes a predetermined combination (for example, a set of three identical identification symbols 70). If it is a loss, another combination (other than the combination that results in a jackpot) will be used. In each figure, only "numbers (letters)" forming the identification pattern 70 are illustrated, but a pattern in which the numerals and characters are combined can be set as the identification pattern 70.

Various effects are performed as effects to notify the result of the judgment. In this embodiment, it is possible to execute the specific effect 10 as a type of effect. That is, the specific performance 10 occurs as part of a series of performances (performances executed from when the identification symbol 70 starts to fluctuate until it stops at the combination indicating the validity determination result) that notifies the result of the validity determination of the target. It is possible. Hereinafter, the specific performance 10 will be explained in detail. Note that unless otherwise specified, "image" in the following description includes both still images and moving images. Moreover, in each figure explaining the specific performance 10, illustration of the identification symbol 70 and the pending symbol 80 is omitted.

The specific performance 10 in this embodiment is a performance performed using the display area 911 of the display device 91, and is performed as part of a so-called reach performance. The reach performance is a performance that indicates the success or failure determination result depending on the manner of the ending. The basic aspect of reach production is that a character on the ally side and a character on the enemy side fight, and the ally character wins (an ending that goes through the so-called ``reversal effect'' where it appears that they have been defeated and then reverses it). ), it is a jackpot, and if the game ends in which the friendly character is defeated (the enemy character wins), it is a loss. To put it simply, the specific performance 10 includes a performance element on the player's side and a performance element that competes with it, and is a performance mode in which the player hopes that the performance element on the player side will be in an advantageous situation. be.

The specific performance 10 in this embodiment includes a conclusion part 13, a validity branching part 12 that is executed before the conclusion part 13, and an operation requesting part 11 that is executed before the validity branching part 12 ( (See Figures 3 and 4). In other words, it includes the operation request section 11, the yes/no decision section 12, and the conclusion section 13, which are executed in this order. The specific aspect of the performance from the start of the specific performance 10 to the operation request section 11 may be of any kind. A performance including performance elements for the player and counter performance elements as described above is executed.

First, an overview of each of the above parts will be explained. The operation request section 11 (specific operation request section 11a) is a section that prompts the player to operate the operation means 60 (see FIG. 1). The configuration of the operating means 60 itself may be of any type as long as it can be operated by the player, so a description thereof will be omitted. The operating means 60 in this embodiment is a push button. A mode may also be adopted in which a plurality of types of operating means 60 are provided and the operation of any one of these is prompted. The validity branching section 12 is a section that suggests in advance the manner of the conclusion (conclusion section 13) of the specific performance 10. In other words, it is a part that indicates whether or not the result of the judgment is a jackpot (indicating the so-called jackpot reliability). The ending part 13 is the ending of the specific performance 10. In the present embodiment, whether or not the result of the judgment is a jackpot is determined by whether or not the game reaches an outcome in which the character on the ally side wins. As long as the result of the judgment is shown in this manner, the concluding part 13 itself may have any specific form.

As described above, the operation request section 11 is a section that prompts the player to operate the operation means 60. In the operation request section 11, an image representing the operation means 60, an operation mode of the operation means 60 (such as "press", "repeat press", "long press", etc.) are displayed, and an operation valid image that reflects the operation of the operation means 60 is displayed. A meter indicating the remaining time (or elapsed time) of the period may be displayed (see FIG. 4(b)). The operation request unit 11 in this embodiment prompts the player to operate the operating means 60 once (in the case of a push button as in this embodiment, to press the operation once).

When the operation means 60 is operated within the operation validity period in the operation requesting section 11, a performance triggered by the operation occurs (hereinafter sometimes referred to as a response performance 111) (see FIG. 4(c)). The response presentation 111 may take any form. In the present embodiment, a response effect 111 that appears as if the power of an ally character fighting an enemy character is amplified is generated. On the other hand, if the operation means 60 is not operated in the operation request section 11, such a response effect 111 will not occur (see FIG. 4(d)). In this way, when the operation means 60 is operated within the valid operation period in the operation request unit 11, the response performance 111 is generated (immediately after the operation), but the display of the reliability suggesting element 20 described later is Although the presence or absence is affected by the presence or absence of the operation, the reliability suggestion element 20 is not displayed in response to the operation (immediately after the operation). To the last, the response performance 111 is generated in the operation requesting section 11, and after the operation requesting section 11 ends, the process moves to the validity branching section 12.

The contents of the validity branching section 12 change depending on the operation status of the operation means 60 in the operation requesting section 11. In other words, the performance control means (circuit for performance control) controls the content of the performance executed by the success/fail branch 12 according to the operation status in the operation requesting part 11. In this embodiment, when the operation request unit 11 operates the operation means 60 (when the operation of the operation means 60 is detected during the operation validity period), the jackpot reliability is suggested in the validity branching unit 12. (See Figure 5(a)). The jackpot reliability suggestion may be made in any manner. In this embodiment, one of "?", "chance", and "extreme heat" is displayed as the reliability suggestion element 20. The jackpot reliability is set to increase in the order of "?", "Chance", and "Very Hot" (highest). In other words, the performance control means determines the reliability suggestion element 20 to be displayed based on whether or not the result of the judgment of the object notified through the specific performance 10 is a jackpot.

Note that the "contents of the validity branching section 12" in this embodiment does not include the aspects of the reliability suggestion element 20 itself (in this embodiment, the aspects of "?", "chance", and "extreme heat"). . In other words, even if the aspects of the reliability suggestion element 20 are different, if the other aspects are the same, the content of the validity branching unit 12 is assumed to be the same. The form of the reliability suggestion element 20 depends on the result of the determination of the validity of the object, and does not depend on the operation status of the operation means 60 in the operation requesting section 11.

On the other hand, if the operation request unit 11 does not operate the operation means 60 (if no operation of the operation means 60 is detected during the valid operation period), the probability branching unit 12 indicates the jackpot reliability. (See FIG. 5(b)). In other words, the reliability suggesting element 20 described above is not displayed. Therefore, the player cannot enjoy the reliability suggestion effect in the win/fail branch 12.

The performance control means determines the reliability suggestion element 20 in advance based on the result of the validity determination. When the operation means 60 is operated in the operation request section 11, the determined reliability suggesting element 20 is displayed in the validity branching section 12, while when the operation means 60 is not operated. does not display the determined reliability suggesting element 20. In this manner, in this embodiment, the operation of the operating means 60 in the operation requesting section 11 determines whether or not to enjoy the jackpot reliability suggestion effect by the reliability suggestion element 20. In other words, a player who wants to enjoy the jackpot reliability suggesting effect only needs to operate the operating means 60, and a player who wants to wait for the outcome without enjoying the effect does not need to operate the operating means 60. That is, the player can choose whether or not to enjoy the jackpot reliability suggestion effect before the outcome is shown, which contributes to improving the interest of the game.

Although not shown, when the operation means 60 is operated in the operation request section 11, the jackpot reliability will be suggested in the future (at the win/fail branch 12), that is, the reliability suggestion element 20 will be shown. A display may be made that the player can understand. For example, when the operation requesting unit 11 prompts the user to operate the operating means 60, a message such as "reliability suggestion generated by button operation" is displayed. By performing such a display, the player can understand that he or she only has to decide whether or not to operate the operating means 60 depending on whether or not he or she wants to enjoy the reliability suggestion effect.

After the hit/fail branch 12, the conclusion section 13 is executed. The contents of the ending part 13 are determined depending on whether the result of the judgment of the object is a jackpot (see FIG. 5(c)). A configuration may be adopted in which a plurality of types of ending portions 13 are set for at least one of a case of a jackpot and a case of a loss.

Hereinafter, specific examples of improvements, modifications, and embodiments of the gaming machine 1 according to the above embodiment will be described. Note that, if possible, a configuration may be adopted in which a combination of a plurality of technical matters described using the following specific examples is applied.

○First Specific Example In the above embodiment, it has been explained that the operation of the operating means 60 is requested by the operation requesting section 11 only once. The number of times the operation is multiple (hereinafter sometimes referred to as a multiple operation) (see Figure 6), or the operation is to maintain the operation state (hereinafter sometimes referred to as a maintenance operation) (see Figure 7). limit. More specifically, only when an operation is requested multiple times or a maintenance operation is requested during one consecutive operation validity period, the validity branching unit 12 is activated according to the operation status in the operation requesting unit 11. Let the content be determined. If the operation of the operation means 60 is required only once, it can be estimated that the player will not feel that much of a burden and there will not be so many cases in which he does not operate the operation means 60. On the other hand, if multiple operations or maintenance operations are required, the user may feel that operating the operating means 60 is a burden and may not operate the operating means 60 in many cases. If this kind of situation increases, it will lead to a decrease in the interest of the game (a decrease in the significance of providing the specific effect 10), so multiple operations or maintenance operations are required. Only in this case (excluding the case where the operation means 60 is operated only once), the content of the validity branching unit 12 is determined according to the operation status in the operation requesting unit 11.

If the operation request unit 11 requests an operation multiple times, the contents of the validity branching unit 12 are changed according to the number of times the operation is actually performed (the number of times the operation is detected) in the operation request unit 11. It is conceivable to have it determined. For example, if the player is set to be required to make so-called "successive hits" and the number of operations is less than a predetermined threshold, the reliability suggesting element 20 is not displayed in the win/fail branch 12; is greater than or equal to the predetermined threshold, the reliability suggestion element 20 is displayed in the validity branching unit 12 (see FIG. 6). By doing so, the player who wants to enjoy the jackpot reliability suggestion effect actively operates the operating means 60 using the operation requesting section 11. In addition, when multiple operations are required, such as so-called "repeat hits", if the player continues to operate the operating means 60, there is a function (such as an auto-repeat function) that assumes that the operation has been performed multiple times and reflects it in the performance. It is preferable that the above function be controlled as described above also when the function is used. In other words, the content of the validity branching unit 12 may be determined by regarding the number of operations on the virtual operation means 60 caused by the function as the number of operations on the operation requesting unit 11.

When the maintenance operation is requested by the operation requesting section 11, the content of the validity branching section 12 is determined according to the time when the maintenance operation is performed by the operation requesting section 11 (the time during which the maintenance operation is detected). It is conceivable to have it determined. For example, if the player is set to be required to press and hold for a long time, and the total maintenance operation time is less than a predetermined threshold, the reliability suggesting element 20 will not be displayed in the validity branch 12. On the other hand, if the total maintenance operation time is equal to or greater than the predetermined threshold value, the reliability suggestion element 20 is displayed in the validity branch 12 (see FIG. 7). By doing so, the player who wants to enjoy the jackpot reliability suggestion effect actively operates the operating means 60 using the operation requesting section 11. In addition, when a maintenance operation is required, such as a so-called "long press", even if the player does not actually perform the maintenance operation, it is assumed that the maintenance operation has been performed and is reflected in the performance (auto long press function). etc.) is well known, and it is preferable that the above-mentioned control be performed also when the function is used. In other words, the contents of the propriety branching section 12 may be determined by regarding the maintenance operation of the virtual operating means 60 caused by the function as the maintenance operation time in the operation requesting section 11.

Note that the response performance 111 that occurs when the operation means 60 is operated (multiple operations or maintenance operation) in the operation requesting section 11 may be of any type. For example, if multiple operations are required, a predetermined response effect 111 is generated each time the operating means 60 is operated (see FIG. 6(b)). Furthermore, if a maintenance operation is required, a response effect 111 in a predetermined manner is generated each time the maintenance operation is continued for a predetermined period of time (see FIG. 7(b)). In this example as well, it is the response effect 111 that occurs immediately after the operation of the operation means 60, and even if the reliability suggestion element 20 is displayed in the validity branching section 12, the display is not the same as that of the operation means 60. It does not occur immediately after the operation.

Second Specific Example It is assumed that the operation requesting section 11 includes a plurality of unit requesting sections 11t. In each unit requesting section 11t, operation of the operating means 60 is requested. In other words, when looking at the operation requesting section 11 as a whole, multiple operations of the operating means 60 are required. However, it is assumed that an individual operation validity period is set in each unit requesting section 11t. In other words, it is assumed that a plurality of operation validity periods are set instead of one continuous operation validity period for the entire operation requesting section 11. Each unit requesting unit 11t is visited intermittently at predetermined intervals (not necessarily at the same interval). That is, the player is intermittently prompted to operate the operating means 60 (see FIGS. 8(a) and 8(b)).

Then, the contents of the validity branching unit 12 are determined in the unit requesting unit 11t depending on whether the operating status of the operating means 60 satisfies predetermined requirements. For example, assume that each unit requesting section 11t requires one operation of the operating means 60. In this case, if the operation means 60 is actually operated (operation is detected) during the operation validity period of a certain unit requesting section 11t, the unit requesting section 11t is determined to meet predetermined requirements, and the operation means 60 is operated. If the unit requesting unit 11t does not meet the predetermined requirements (the operation is not detected), the unit requesting unit 11t is determined to not meet the predetermined requirements. If the number of unit request units 11t that satisfy the predetermined requirements is less than a predetermined threshold, the reliability suggestion element 20 is not displayed in the validity branch 12, whereas if the number is equal to or greater than the predetermined threshold, the validity branch 12, the reliability suggestion element 20 is displayed (see FIG. 8). By doing so, the player who wants to enjoy the jackpot reliability suggestion effect actively operates the operating means 60 in each unit requesting section 11t so as to satisfy the predetermined requirements.

Note that the response performance 111 that occurs when the operation means 60 is operated in each unit requesting section 11t may take any form.

○Third specific example (example that makes the second specific example more specific)
It is assumed that the unit requesting section 11t requests operation of the operating means 60 at a predetermined timing (hereinafter sometimes referred to as specific timing). Any method may be used to indicate the specific timing to the player. In this example, an image (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the operation image 30) imitating the operation contents and operation means 60, etc. is displayed moving in a predetermined direction, and a timing image 31 in a stationary state is displayed. is displayed (see FIG. 9(a)). The operation image 30 moves toward the timing image 31, and a state in which the operation image 30 enters inside the timing image 31 is set as a specific timing. In other words, a player who wants to operate the operating means 60 at a specific timing will operate the operating means 60 at the timing when the operating image 30 enters inside the timing image 31 (see FIG. 9(b)). ). An image explaining the operation (for example, a message such as "Press the button at the right time") may also be displayed.

Assuming such a configuration, in each unit requesting section 11t, the degree to which the operation timing of the operation means 60 deviates from the specific timing is quantified (converted into points). The points are set so that the closer the operation timing is to the specific timing, the higher the points are (if the operating means 60 is not operated at all, the points are the smallest (for example, 0)). The points calculated in this way (or something equivalent to the points) are actually displayed so that the player can understand them (see Figure 9(b). In the figure, the points equivalent to the points are (shown as "increased health"), or it may not be displayed at all (it is only calculated internally). Then, the points obtained by adding up the points in all the unit requesting sections 11t become the finally obtained points (total points). If the total point is less than a predetermined threshold, the reliability suggestion element 20 is not displayed in the validity branching unit 12, while if it is equal to or greater than the predetermined threshold, the reliability suggestion element 20 is displayed in the validity branching unit 12. (See Figure 9). In this way, in this example, the content of the validity branching unit 12 is determined based on the deviation amount of the actual operation timing of the operation means 60 in each unit requesting unit 11t from the specific timing, so that the jackpot A player who wishes to enjoy the reliability suggestion effect operates the operating means 60 at each unit requesting section 11t in accordance with a specific timing.

Note that the response performance 111 that occurs when the operation means 60 is operated in each unit requesting section 11t may take any form. For example, it may be possible to generate a display as the response effect 111 according to the amount of deviation of the actual operation timing from the specific timing. Specifically, depending on the amount of deviation between the actual operation timing and the specific timing, displays such as "Great" (smallest amount of deviation), "Good", "OK", and "Bad" (largest amount of deviation) are displayed. (See FIG. 9(b)).

○Fourth specific example The specific performance 10 in the above embodiment includes an operation request section 11 and a validity branching section 12, and the content of the validity branching section 12 changes depending on the operation status in the operation requesting section 11. Although explained, not all specific effects 10 have to have such a configuration. Specifically, the configuration is such that, as the specific performance 10, a performance including a specific operation request section 11a and a performance including a normal operation request section 11b are set.

As explained in the above embodiment, the specific operation requesting section 11a is configured so that the operation status of the operating means 60 influences the content of the validity branching section 12 (see FIG. 10). On the other hand, in the normal operation request section 11b, the contents of the validity branch 12 do not change regardless of the operation status of the operation means 60 (see FIG. 11). That is, in the specific performance 10 including the normal operation request section 11b, the contents of the validity branch 12 do not change regardless of the operation status of the operating means 60 in the normal operation request section 11b. Specifically, in the case of the specific performance 10 in which the specific operation requesting section 11a is set, the reliability suggesting element 20 is set in the validity branching section 12 according to the operation status of the operating means 60 in the specific operation requesting section 11a. On the other hand, in the case of the specific performance 10 in which the normal operation request section 11b is set, regardless of the operation status of the operating means 60 in the normal operation request section 11b, It is assumed that the reliability suggestion element 20 is always shown in the validity branching unit 12 (see FIG. 11).

Preferably, the configuration is such that the player cannot know whether the specific operation requesting section 11a or the normal operation requesting section 11b is set. Specifically, even for the same type of specific performance 10, the specific operation request section 11a may be set, and the normal operation request section 11b may be set. Here, the specific effects 10 of the same type refer to those that can be recognized as being of the same type as a reach effect (super reach effect) from the perspective of the player. In other words, most of the performances that have the same video output are the same type of reach performances. If the specific performance 10 is a so-called "battle performance", if one or more ally characters and one or more enemy characters opposing it are of the same type, the same type of reach will occur. It can be said that it is a performance. In such a specific performance 10 (reach performance) of the same type, by setting the specific operation requesting section 11a sometimes and the normal operation requesting section 11b, the operation requesting section Even if a player does not perform any operation at step 11, he or she can enjoy the reliability suggestion effect of the validity branching unit 12 when the normal operation requesting unit 11b is set. Therefore, the validity branching unit 12 is provided. It is possible to prevent the situation from becoming meaningless.

○Fifth specific example In the above embodiment, it was explained that whether or not the reliability suggestion element 20 is shown in the validity branching unit 12 is determined depending on the operation status of the operation means 60 in the operation requesting unit 11. However, the probability that the reliability suggesting element 20 is displayed may be changed depending on the operation status of the operating means 60 in the operation requesting section 11. In other words, the probability of winning a lottery is not based on whether or not the reliability suggestion element 20 is displayed depending on the operation situation (100% or 0%), but on whether or not the reliability suggestion element 20 is displayed depending on the operation situation. is determined, and when the lottery based on the probability is won, the reliability suggesting element 20 is displayed. It is preferable that the more active the operation of the operation means 60 in the operation request section 11 is, the higher the probability of winning the lottery. Even with such a configuration, a player who wants to enjoy the jackpot reliability suggestion effect will actively operate the operating means 60 using the operation requesting section 11.
