2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a game machine having an image variable display device, there are a pachinko game machine, a coin game machine, a slot machine, and the like. The pachinko machine is equipped with nails, windmills, and various winning holes that change the flow of the ball at the game area formed on a flat game board. It is what makes me.

The form of the winning opening is pocket-shaped, has a variably openable / closable opening, and has various shapes of variably reciprocating / rotating operation or a rotating body to guide a hitting ball. , There are winning holes with an accessory that is involved in elimination, attacker winning holes that exhibit a variable open / closed state, etc. There are various winning holes that combine these forms. In addition, there is a warp winning hole that guides the hit balls once won to the path provided on the back of the game board and discharges them from another ball exit provided on the game board. In response to the winning of the hit ball, the prize winning opening starts variable display of the image variable display device, a start chucker involved in changing the operation or arrangement of the accessory, paying out a preset number of prize balls, etc. There is a setting.

The variable image display device is usually provided near the center of the game area. When a ball hits a starting winning opening set in advance as a starting chucker of the variable image display device, a winning ball is detected by a starting opening switch, and the variable image display device starts variable display. Generally, the display unit of the image variable display device has two or three screens, and each screen is composed of a slot reel, a digital light board, or a liquid crystal display.

In the case of a slot reel, variable display is performed by rotating a reel drawn by connecting various picture surfaces including numbers and symbols. In the case of a digital lightning board or a liquid crystal display, the screen display presented by the rotating slot reel is replaced by continuously switching the lightning output or the liquid crystal screen output. When viewed on each screen at the time of stop, one picture or three pictures including the top and bottom are displayed vertically.

The variable display stop control is activated after a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the variable display, and the two or three screens are stopped while displaying one of the picture planes. The variable display stop control of a pachinko game machine using a digital light board and a liquid crystal display gives a start winning ball a numerical value generated by a time counter or a random number generator, and stops by determining the given numerical value. Is controlled. The generated numerical value includes a specific numerical value that is a so-called hit, and when it is determined that the given numerical value is a hit, a few screens are displayed.
Stop in a state where the predetermined combinations of patterns are lined up sideways or diagonally. In the case of using a liquid crystal display, there are some cases in which the split display of the screen is stopped and a single image is displayed on the entire display.

In the case of a win, a specific game value is given to the operator, and the attacker prize hole and the accessory prize hole are held for a certain period of time.
Opening is limited to the number of winning balls, making it easy to win a ball.
In addition, there is a prize winning opening, an attacker winning opening, or the like that sorts the hit ball. The winning balls are distributed by means such as setting a specific area in the winning opening, or making the winning balls correspond to the random numbers generated by the counter.
When the winning ball passes through the specific area or is assigned a specific value, a game value such as repeating the opening of the winning opening is given.

An image variable display device similar to that of a pachinko game machine is used in a coin game machine, a slot machine or the like, and the image variable display device becomes the backbone of the game machine. The display unit of the image variable display device is generally provided with screens vertically having display frames for three patterns on three horizontal surfaces, and each screen is composed of slot reels. Variable display is performed by rotating a reel drawn with various picture planes including numbers and symbols. The variable display is started by operating the start lever or the button, and the variable display stop control is operated by operating the stop button provided for each screen. When a preset combination of patterns is stopped horizontally or diagonally, the game is won, and a specific game value is given, coins are paid out, and points are counted.

In each of the above-mentioned gaming machines, there are various ways to enhance the gaming effect, such as variably designing the patterns to be displayed, blinking sound effects and electric lights, and decorating the game board and the main body. Has been done. In addition, a new model has been developed in which game values having different settings are combined to change the mode of giving the game value.

[0010]

As described above, in the gaming machine provided with the image variable display device, the gaming effect is enhanced by various means. The display unit of the image variable display device is arranged almost in the center of the game board in a pachinko game machine, and is the basis of the structure of the game machine in a coin game machine, a slot machine, etc., and it is important to enhance the game effect. Plays a role. However, the image variable display device provided in these gaming machines only variably displays the combination of patterns. Taking a pachinko game machine as an example, by introducing a control means by computer, it became possible to have a liquid crystal display etc. as a result of being able to freely set the winning probability of hitting balls, the probability setting of winning, the effect sound and the illumination etc. Despite that, it only substitutes for slot reels or displays a single screen as a winning screen.

In a pachinko game machine, a coin game machine, a slot machine, etc., a game in which a winning of a hitting ball or a combination of patterns appearing on the display portion of the image variable display device is expected to be developed, and it is a relatively game game. The structure is uniform. On the other hand, there is a great demand for amusement machines that can be easily played, and it is required to constantly develop new models and provide new game contents.

An object of the present invention is to provide an image display device having a novel display mode on a pachinko gaming machine, a coin gaming machine, a slot machine, etc., and improve a gaming effect.

[0013]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides an image display device for outputting an image relating to execution of giving a game value in a pachinko game machine, a coin game machine, a slot machine or the like. , A plurality of stages are provided for establishment of a hit or a deficit relating to execution of giving a game value, a plurality of screens are output in a linked manner, and a total result obtained from display results derived from each of the plurality of screens becomes a specific display result. In this case, a gaming value shall be given.

A plurality of screens, which are each element that establishes the hit or deviate, are independent from each other, and subsequent screens are continuously determined by the display result of one screen. It is possible to have one.

The fact that a plurality of screens are independent of each other means that the result of win or loss and the adequacy of establishment of specific display contents are derived for each display result of one screen. For example, a situation in which the character and the enemy character compete with each other and combine the scenes of options to obtain the result of winning and losing to form a tournament format, and the case where all the wins are set as the winning condition is applicable.

Since a screen for obtaining the result of winning or losing is required to display a free moving image, it is generally output by superposing the background image and the character image. To get the results,
There are those in which the main character given to the player side competes with the opposing character, such as competition and battle, and those in which the character indicating the target is hit by the character indicating the weapon.

An image display for obtaining a specific display content is
A game content that completes a certain state is developed on the screen. As in the past, the screen is divided into a plurality of areas and the symbols and the like are variably displayed, and the combination of the symbols is the display result. It is also possible to include in the composition of. For example, in the case of an image display in which specific display contents are established, as independent screens, the three screens of the fight between the main character and the enemy character, the combination of the symbols, and the competition between the main character and the enemy character are hit or missed. Is the configuration screen that holds. In this case, the winning or losing result of the fighting, the order result of the competition, and the overall result of the combination of the symbols establish a win or a win, and determine whether or not the game value can be given.

When deriving the total result from a plurality of screens independent of each other, in order to obtain a variety of game contents, it is possible to change and set the winning and losing results and the like obtained for each screen, which is an element that establishes the win / loss. , It is preferable that the combination order and selection of the configuration screens, which are elements that establish the win / loss, can be changed.

On the other hand, when the succeeding screen is determined by the display result of one screen and there is a subordinate relationship in the output order, a plurality of screens for deriving one comprehensive display result have a continuous structure. It has a configuration in which the display contents are distributed according to the options set in multiple layers, and when the display contents obtained as a selection result is a specific display result, the game value is derived as the final display result by a series of selection results. It is something.
For example, when the character moves along a moving route set on a single-sided background image while setting a route according to an option and the character reaches a specific position, the character is set as a winning condition.

Here, the background image is a start position at which the character starts moving, a plurality of goal positions at which the character can reach, obstacles, branch roads, quizzes, competitions, fights between the start positions and the goal positions. It is an image in which options for determining a course are set, such as a scene in which a result of winning or losing is obtained, and other decorations that enhance the game effect are included in the configuration.

It is preferable that the character is an image smaller than the screen and reflects the dynamic display of a person, an animal, an anthropomorphic object, a vehicle, or the like. The character moves along the route on the background image, and the character, which has passed through the plurality of options, reaches any of the plurality of goal positions. When the character reaches the goal position, a deviation position for deriving a deviation and a hit position for deriving a hit are set.

The hitting position may be set to a fixed position, but in order to obtain a variety of game contents, the hitting position is set for each image display,
It is preferable to change it regularly or randomly and select and set the hitting position from the goal position.

A plurality of screen displays successively derives the respective display results to the end to make an immediate hit, and also establishes a so-called reach, showing that there is a possibility that a hit is derived before the overall result is established. A warning sign may be displayed.
The reach is established on the condition that a series of display results has been derived, or on the condition that the hit may be derived on the overall result before the display of the final screen.

In the gaming machine of the present invention, a pachinko gaming machine displays a winning prize at a starting winning opening of a hitting ball, and a coin gaming machine, a slot machine or the like displays a start operation by a button, a start lever or the like, insertion of a coin, etc. Involved in starting control. Since it is necessary to start the image display by the player's specific start operation and determine the hit or miss, the player's specific start operation is a trigger for the hit or miss determination, for example, a random number used for the hit or miss determination. Is extracted.

As a trigger for determining the hit / miss, in a slot machine or the like, in addition to a start operation related to display start control such as operation of a start lever or insertion of a coin, a bet number is input and set by deducting a credit score. It is also possible to detect the operation of the bet button and the operation of the button for the time reduction operation until the derivation of the display result.
Further, if the hit is determined, it is not limited to the case where the hit display result is always obtained, and the hit display result is limited. For example, an operation button is provided on the gaming machine to operate the button. Depending on the timing of, the display result may not necessarily be a hit.

As described above, the gaming machine of the present invention receives the start control of the image display, decides the hit / loss which is the total result as necessary before the image display, and according to the decision of the hit / miss, It is provided with means for determining each of the contents of a plurality of screens, which are elements that establish the overall result. When it is composed of multiple screens that are independent of each other, it is equipped with an image display control unit and a unit that determines the display result according to the contents to be displayed on each screen, and derives the overall result of the hits from the display result. In that case, a means for judging a series of display results is also necessary. When the screen has a subordinate relationship in the output order and the subsequent screens are consecutively defined on one screen, a means for setting and displaying a plurality of hierarchical options for allocating the display contents on the background image of the one-sided structure is provided. There is.

Further, since the game machine of the present invention mainly uses the character image, the image display device displays the means for displaying the character and the background image in which the area related to the movement of the character and the derivation of the hit / miss is set. It is configured to include a means for doing so. Image display devices include CRT, L
CD, plasma display, dot matrix LED
Etc. are available.

As the value adding means, when the display result of the image display device is in a predetermined specific display mode, a value object such as a prize ball or coin is directly paid out or a score is recorded. May be

In this case, if the notification is made too early, the gap may be settled early, which may reduce the game effect. On the contrary, if the notification is delayed, the image display becomes redundant and the player's attention may be separated from the screen, so that the effective use of the image display is impaired. Therefore, in the corridor of FIG. 7, after passing through at least the room 2A or the room 2B, the player is notified of the jackpot position. As shown in the figure, for example, a treasure box indicating the jackpot position is displayed in the room 4A. Including the case of notifying the jackpot position, not only the enlarged display of the area surrounded by the one-dot chain line in the drawing but also the full-screen display of the area surrounded by the two-dot chain line in the drawing may be performed.

As a method of determining the big hit, the big hit may be made when the character reaches the big hit position, but in consideration of the notification of the big hit position, the state of reaching the big hit position is set as the reach state, and the big hit position is further reached. As a result of opening the set treasure box, when the contents of the treasure box are revealed to be a treasure indicating a big hit, it is more appropriate to determine the big hit. In this case, it is possible to appropriately adjust the probability of a big hit by setting the number of treasure chests.

FIG. 8 is an explanatory view showing the arrival probability from the start position in the embodiment of the gaming machine of the present invention, and shows the probability of being distributed to the corridor shown in FIG. The probability of allocating to each branch at the branch point of the corridor is uniform. Corridor
1 from 4A to 4O from the start position via 3 rooms
Reach any of the 5 rooms. In room 1, it is divided into halves by door A leading to passage 53 and door B leading to passage 54. When the door A goes to the passage 53, the room 2A is further divided into the door a leading to the passage 55 and the door b leading to the passage 56, and the rooms 3a to 3b are divided into the rooms 4A to 4C and the rooms 4D to 4F, respectively. The arrival probability from the position is 1/12. When going from the door B to the passage 54, it is further divided into a door a leading to the passage 57, a door b leading to the passage 58 and a door c leading to the passage 59 in the room 2B, and the rooms 3c to 3e are respectively the rooms 4G to 4I and the room 4J. ~ 4L, room 4M ~ 4O
Therefore, the probability of arrival from the start position is 1/18.

When passing through the door A and the door B, the arrival probability to the room 4 is different from 1/12 and 1/18. In order to make the appearance probability of the jackpot uniform, the number of treasure boxes set at the jackpot position may be set as the inverse ratio of the arrival probability, and the content of the jackpot may be set to one of them. For example,
The treasure boxes set in the rooms 4A to 4F that reach via the door A are 18 pieces including 17 pieces of the treasure box containing the contents indicating the outfall and one piece of the contents containing the jackpot. The treasure boxes to be set in the rooms 4G to 4O that are reached by combining the 11 treasure boxes containing the contents indicating the outfall and the one containing the contents indicating the jackpot are 12 in total. , Regardless of travel route 1
It becomes / 216.

FIG. 9 is an explanatory view showing an embodiment of the game machine of the present invention, and explains the effect and display screen when the character moves through each room on the corridor in FIG. In the case of the present embodiment using the pachinko gaming machine, the character voluntarily selects the shortest route and simply moves toward the set arrival position on the corridor shown in FIG. An image is displayed with an effect that motivates the route selection of the character at the branch point to enhance the game effect. In this embodiment, an enemy character that obstructs the path is displayed in a path other than the moving direction of the character, and the character has a preference to proceed in a path where there is no enemy character.

The display unit 29 shown in FIG. 9 (1) shows the selection of the door in the room 1 in the corridor of FIG. 7, and the character heads to the door A where there is no enemy character 44 that obstructs the path. The character 41 who has advanced through the door A enters the room 2A through the passage 53 in the corridor of FIG.
As shown in (3), head toward the door a where there is no enemy character that obstructs the path. The character who has proceeded through the door a enters the room 3a through the passage 55 in the corridor of FIG.
As described in (3), head to A's door where there are no enemy characters obstructing the path. As a result, the character is
Treasure chests 71 to 8 indicating the jackpot position as in (4)
When the room 4A in which 8 is displayed is reached, the reach state is set.

As shown in FIG. 9 (4), 1 is set in the room 4A.
There are eight treasure chests, and the idea is to open the treasure chest using the prepared key. A treasure is set in one treasure box 88 of the 18 treasure boxes 71 to 88 as the content indicating a big hit. The jackpot or the loss is basically determined by whether or not the prepared key 89/90 opens the treasure box containing the contents showing the jackpot. For example, the character 41 selects the key selected from the keys 89/90 as the treasure box. When the treasure chest opens with the key being matched, it is decided that the big hit or the miss is decided depending on the contents of the treasure chest.

When the treasure box is opened, the character 41 may react to the contents of the treasure box.
For example, if the treasure chests 71 to 73, 86, and 87 containing starbursts are opened, the starbursts explode and the character becomes charred. If the treasure chests 74 to 76 containing punch gloves are opened, the character punches. If the treasure boxes 77-79 containing electric eels that are hit by a glove and stun open, the character will get an electric shock. If the treasure boxes 80-82 containing frogs open, the frog will pop out and the character will The character gets angry when crying, when the ska treasure chests 83-85 are opened or when a room without treasure chest is reached,
Alternatively, the image is displayed by devising the effect such as being disappointed.

The big hit occurs only when the character reaches the room at the big hit position where the treasure box is located and the treasure box containing the contents showing the big hit is opened. On the other hand,
Although the character has reached the room at the jackpot position where the treasure box is located, there are cases where the treasure box containing the content indicating the loss is opened and cases where the character reaches the room at the removal position. When reaching the outlying position, it is not necessary to display anything in the room at the reaching position, but it is preferable to display the enemy character or display the content treasure box indicating the outlying and then perform the effect of the outlying.

FIG. 10 is an explanatory view of the embodiment of the gaming machine of the present invention, and explains the effect and display screen when the character moves through each room on the corridor of FIG. In a pachinko gaming machine in which the appearance probability of a jackpot is changed, normally, as described with reference to FIG. 9, an enemy character 44 that obstructs the progress is displayed in a path other than the moving direction of the character 41, and the character is an enemy. The idea is to follow a path without characters. In the stochastic period, as shown in FIG. 10, a course in which the character 41 displays the enemy character 44 that obstructs the course is selected, and the course is set such that the enemy character advances while defeating the enemy character. Therefore, it is possible to clearly inform the player that the probability is high.

The display section of FIG. 10 (1) shows the selection of the door in the room 1 in the corridor of FIG. 7, and the character heads to the door B by defeating the enemy character that obstructs the path. The character who has advanced through the door B is the passage 5 in the corridor of FIG.
The room 2B is entered through 4 and the enemy character obstructing the path is defeated and headed to the door c as shown in FIG. 10 (2). The character who has proceeded through the door c enters the room 3e through the passage 59 in the corridor of FIG. 7 and, as shown in FIG. 10 (3), defeats the enemy character that obstructs the path and heads to the door of U. As a result, the character 40 is displayed in the room 40 in which the treasure box indicating the jackpot position is displayed, as shown in FIG.
Reach when you reach.

As shown in FIG. 10 (4), there are twelve treasure boxes 91 to 102 in the room 40, and the treasure box is designed to be opened by using the key prepared as described above. In one treasure box 102 out of the twelve treasure boxes 91 to 102, a treasure is set as the content indicating a big hit. Basically, the big hit or the lack is whether the treasure box containing the contents showing the big hit opens or not, but the character is the key 103.
The key selected from 104 is matched with the treasure box, and when the key is matched and the treasure box is opened, a big hit or a loss is determined depending on the contents of the treasure box.

When the character adds a reaction to the contents of the treasure box when the treasure box is opened,
It is preferable to give a difference from the reaction at the normal time in FIG. For example, if the treasure chests 91 and 92 containing starbursts are opened, the starbursts normally explode and the character becomes charred, but at a high probability the fire gun will extinguish with a water gun, and treasure chests 95 and 96 with punch gloves will open. If you do, the character defends with a protector, a treasure chest containing a frog 97.9
When 8 is opened, it is advisable to perform an effect intended to have a high probability, such as by facing out with a snake.

FIG. 11 is a flow chart for explaining the image display control means in the embodiment of the gaming machine of the present invention. The left is a control flow S1 to S4 related to the starting winning, which is a routine for checking the starting winning, storing up to four starting winnings, and determining a win or failure for an effective starting winning. If there is a start winning, the number of memory for winning the starting winning is checked, and if the number of memory for starting winning is up to 4, the starting winning is invalidated. If the number of stored winning awards does not reach the maximum, the generated award winning is added to the award winning memory, and a random number for determining a win or loss is extracted and stored. The random number for determining the hit / miss is stored in a storage area corresponding to the number of starting memories.

On the right is a control flow S5 to S19 for performing a win / loss process in accordance with the memory for winning the winning start, in which the jackpot position and the arrival position of the character are set on the basis of the memory for winning the winning, and the occurrence of the hit and the jackpot set. The position and the arrival position are determined, and the hit / miss process is performed.
When there is a start winning prize memory, a random number for determining the hitting position is extracted to determine the hitting position. Then, the random number for hitting determination in the storage area corresponding to the starting memory number 1 is read out. By decrementing the number of starting memories and shifting the storage area, the starting memories are sequentially consumed.

When the read random number for hitting determination is hit, the reaching position of the character is decided as the hitting position, and the treasure box opened by the character is decided as the treasure box containing the contents indicating the hit. Image display is started, the character moves from the start position to the big hit position, and a screen for opening the treasure box containing the contents showing the hit is output.
When the jackpot is confirmed by the display result, jackpot processing is performed including notification of the jackpot by displaying an image, blinking a decorative lamp, and giving a specific game value.

When it is determined that the read random number for hitting determination is out of alignment, the random number for determining the reaching position of the character is extracted, and the random number value for determining the hitting position and the random number value for determining the reaching position are associated with each other. When the hit position determination random value and the arrival position determination random value do not match, image display is started, and the character moves from the start position to the outlier position designated by the arrival position determination random value. The deviation is determined based on the display result at the deviation position, and the deviation process is performed.

When the hit position determining random number value and the arrival position determining random number value match, a missing treasure box determining random number is extracted to determine which treasure box containing the contents indicating the character is to be opened. Image display is started, the character moves from the start position to the big hit position, a screen for opening the treasure box containing the contents indicating the deviation is output, and the deviation is determined according to the display result at the big hit position, and the deviation processing is performed.

In the present embodiment, the jackpot is generated at a probability of 1/235 at the normal time and 10 times at the high probability.
The randomness for determining the hit or miss is set in the range of 0 to 234, and the hit determination value is set to 7 in the normal time and 7 to 16 in the high probability. As the jackpot position and the reaching position, the jackpot position is set to any of 15 rooms where the character is moving on the corridor and can be reached. Therefore, the hitting position determining random numbers 0 to 14 and the reaching position determining random numbers 0 to 14 are set. Becomes

When the random position determination random number value and the arrival position determination random number value coincide with each other while the deviation is determined, the extracted deviation determination random number is 0 to 16,
It may be 0-10. Since the arrival probability assigned to each room differs depending on the route of the corridor in FIG. 7, for the arrival position with an arrival probability of 1/12, 17 outlying treasure chests and one treasure chest containing the contents are combined. 11 treasure chests with arrival probability of 1/18
Twelve treasure chests, one treasure chest and one treasure chest containing the contents, are set. Since different kinds of contents are set in the outlying treasure box, when the character opens the outlying treasure box, the outlying treasure box other than the treasure box containing the contents inside the treasure box is selected to cause the outlying treasure box. Uniform content and probability.

The treasure box of the hit contains treasure as the contents showing the hit, but the treasure corresponding to the extracted random number value is a specific treasure by extracting and utilizing a random number to determine the kind of the treasure. In some cases, stochastic fluctuation may be performed. For example, the treasure determination random number is 0 to 15, and the extracted random number values are 3, 5,
When it is 7, the high probability control is performed. The treasure type may be preset for each winning position without using the treasure determination random number.

FIG. 12 is an explanatory view showing the enlarged display of the character at the current position and the full-screen display of the corridor in the embodiment of the gaming machine of the present invention, in which the enlarged display and the full-screen display are overlapped and displayed at the same time. Is shown. FIG. 12 (1) shows
On the display unit 29 near the start of image display, only the current position 60 of the character 44 is displayed during full-screen display.
FIG. 12 (2) shows the display unit 29 after the player is notified of the jackpot position, and the current position 60 and the jackpot position 61 of the character 44 are displayed in the full screen display. It is considered that the display screen is clear when the enlarged display is superposed on the front side and the full screen display is superposed on the rear side. As other display screens, output of enlarged display and full-screen display may be switched as necessary, enlarged display may be performed at the start of image display, and full-screen display may be performed when the player is notified of the jackpot position. .

FIG. 13 is an explanatory view showing another embodiment of the gaming machine of the present invention. A screen to be displayed instead of the corridor of FIG. 7 is displayed on the image display device of the gaming machine described in FIGS. Shows. In the display area 50 surrounded by the chain double-dashed line, the maze and the entire reaching position are set, and in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the image display is started based on the start winning, and the character 46 moves from the start point 45. start. In order to easily recognize the game content, at the time when the image display is started, only the display area 51 surrounded by the alternate long and short dash line in the figure may be enlarged and displayed.

In the maze of FIG. 13, there are 15 rooms A to O to which the character can finally reach, as in the corridor described above. Every time an image is displayed, one of the 15 rooms is designated as the jackpot position. Set the arrival position of the character. The jackpot position in which the treasure chest 47 is set is A in the figure, and the treasure chest is set with the contents indicating a jackpot or a loss. The player is notified of the jackpot position after the character has passed at least the branch points P2 to P3. Including the case of notifying the jackpot position, full-screen display is performed for the area surrounded by the chain double-dashed line in the figure.

The probability of arrival of the rooms A to O to the fifteen rooms is, if the distribution to the branches at the branch points P1 to P8 as an example of the choices is uniform, in the case of A to F, via the branch points P1 and P2. Then, it is divided into P4 to P5, so 1/2 × 1 /
2 × 1/3 = 1/12, and in the case of G to O, the branch point P
Since it is divided into P6 to P8 via 1 and P3, 1/2
× 1/3 × 1/3 = 1/18. The number of treasure boxes set in the rooms A to F and the number of treasure boxes set in the rooms G to O are set as inverse ratios of the respective arrival probabilities, and the appearance probabilities of the jackpots are uniformly arranged.

Also when the screen shown in FIG. 13 is used, determination of hitting loss, arrival position of the character, determination of jackpot position, etc., when the character selects a branch at a branch point, production when opening a treasure box, jackpot processing The detachment process is the same as the above example.

FIG. 14 is an explanatory view showing another embodiment of the gaming machine of the present invention, in which the image display device of the gaming machine described in FIGS. 1 to 6 is replaced with the corridor or maze of FIGS. 7 to 13. Shows a screen to be displayed. In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, image display is started based on the start winning, and the character 48 begins to move from the start points A to O and follows the amida toward the goal points a to o. In the present embodiment, since the character is Amida that has the start point where the character starts moving as an option, if the start point is selected and set, the arrival position of the character is also determined from the goal positions. In order to timely notify the player of the jackpot position, the upper half is set as the display area 62 when the character is above the center of the amida from the start of image display. When the character is below the center of the amida, the lower half is used as the display area 63 to notify the jackpot position.

The start point and jackpot position of the character are determined by random numbers. 15 starting points A to O
Since there are only one location, the arrival probability of goal points a to o is evenly 1/15. When the goal point reached from the start point of the character is the jackpot position, when the character reaches the jackpot position, the treasure box 49 that the character can open is determined from the plurality of treasure boxes as in the above example. The jackpot process and the out-of-range process are performed.

FIG. 15 is an explanatory view showing another embodiment of the gaming machine of the present invention. The image display device of the gaming machine described in FIGS. 1 to 6 has been described in FIGS. 7, 13 and 14. Corridor or maze,
The screen displayed instead of Amida is shown. In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, image display is started based on the start winning, the character 65 starts moving from the start point 66, and aims for the jackpot position over various obstacles. The arrival position is
There are three locations 115 to 117 on the screen, and the course of the character is divided by the obstacles set in the route, and the arrival probabilities are different for each. Regarding the screen display, the display area 50 may be displayed on the entire screen, but it is preferable to enlarge the display area 51 indicated by the alternate long and short dash line at the start point in the figure and move the enlarged display range as the character moves.

Between the start point 66 and the stairs, there is a block 110 that repeats a horizontal reciprocating movement. Here, the time of berthing on the stage at the start point is one hour of the total time.
/ 4. The probability that the character will cross the block 110 and get on the stairs is 1/4, and the probability that the character will fall and follow the path in water will be 3/4. Also between the next stages, there is a block 111 that repeats the round trip from the top of the stairs horizontally, and the probability that the character descends to the next stage via the block 111 is 1/4, and the probability that the character will fall is 3/4. . There are three ladders 112 from the stage, and the probability of falling from each of the two ladders is 1/2.
It is advisable to display an enemy character dropping a rock on the ladder 112, and perform an effect of obstructing the course of the ladder. The character reaches the cave 115 by climbing up the three ladders 112. When falling from the ladder 112, the character reaches the cave 116.

When the character advances in the water without getting on the block 110, there is a block 113 that reciprocates up and down on the uppermost stage of the stairs and the water surface, and the probability that the character gets on the block 113 is set to 1/4. When the character gets on the block 113, the same course as described above is taken.
When the character cannot get on the block 113 and further advances in the water, or when the character falls without getting on the block 111, when the character gets on the block 114 that horizontally reciprocates, it berths on the stage and reaches the cave 116. . If the user cannot get on the block 114, the stage 117 is reached. The probability that a character rides on block 114 is 1/8,
The probability of not riding is 7/8.

The probability that the character will reach the cave 115 is 1/4 × 1/4 × 1/2 × 1/2 = 1/64, cave 11
The probability of reaching 6 is 1/4 × 1/4 × 3/4 = 3/64 when falling from the ladder 112, block 111
1 / when it falls from the block and gets on the block 114
4 × 3/4 × 1/8 = 3/128, 1/4 × 3/4 × 1/8 = when traveling in water to get on the block 114
Since it is 3/128, the total is 6/64. Here, the character reaches the caves 115 to 116 by defining the stage 117 as an outlying position, the cave 115 with the lowest arrival probability as a reach position which is a big hit with a high probability, and the cave 116 as a reach position which is a big hit with a low probability. In this case, an appropriate treasure box may be set so that the character can be opened. For example, if the number of treasure chests in the cave 115 is 7,
If the number of treasure boxes in the cave 116 is 42, and the number of treasure boxes containing treasures is 1 in each, then cave 1
The probability of reaching 15 and getting a treasure is 1/64 x 1 /
7 = 1/448, the probability of reaching the cave 116 and obtaining the treasure is 6/64 × 1/42 = 1/448, and the jackpot probability in this case is 2/448 = 1/224.
Alternatively, the stage 117 may be defined as the outlying position, the jackpot position may be changed and set to a cave 115 to 116, and the treasure chest may be set together with the determination of the outlying hit.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION The gaming machine of the present invention conventionally outputs a plurality of screens constituting a plurality of stages in association with each other, instead of a combination of symbols obtained by variable display / stop of symbols, and outputs the display results of the respective screens. The hit or deviate is derived from the overall result. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a novel and epoch-making game content as compared with the conventional game machine. If you use continuous screens that are subordinate to the output order as multiple screens, the process of deriving the win or loss changes every moment, and even if you start the display from the same screen, the end result can be various, so the win or miss It is possible to obtain display contents in which the result of is difficult to predict. When independent screens are used as a plurality of screens, it is possible to prepare various kinds of display contents depending on the output order of each independent screen and the combination thereof. By displaying the options for linking a plurality of display screens as a screen configuration, the visual probability is determined, and the process of deriving the hit / miss becomes clear.

As described above, by changing the combination of a plurality of screens to be output each time the image is displayed, or by changing and setting the options and the definition of the hits for linking a plurality of screens, the display contents can be varied. In addition, the game contents of the game machines, which tend to be uniform, are diversified, and the game effect is improved.

Conventionally, in order to clarify the recognition of the player in the process of deriving the win / loss, a combination of symbols has been used, but the gaming machine of the present invention similarly clearly presents the derivation of the win / loss. It Since it is possible to change the image display contents when a hit occurs in various ways, it is difficult to predict the hit result, so that it is possible to provide a gaming machine that does not get tired of the game contents and has a long life. In addition, in a gaming machine that gives a game value by a predetermined operation by the operator, it is possible to increase the expectation for giving the game value.
