1) Basic Configuration of Gaming Machine Hereinafter, an 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.

  The gaming machine 1 includes a gaming board 90. The game board 90 is formed of a substantially square plywood, and a guide rail 903 forming a passage for guiding a game ball fired by operation of a firing device 908 (a firing handle) to a game area 902 has a substantially arc shape. It is provided as follows.

  In the game area 902, a display device 91, a start area 904, a special winning opening 906, an out opening, and the like are provided. The display area 911 of the display device 91 is a portion that can be visually recognized through an opening 901 formed in the game board 90. Further, in the game area 902, a plurality of game nails 10K are provided as obstacles that change the flow-down state of the game balls by collision with the game balls flowing down. The game ball flowing down the game area 902 changes in various modes according to the conditions at the time of collision with the game nail 10K.

  In such a gaming machine 1, by operating the launching device 908, a gaming ball is launched toward the gaming area 902. When a game ball flowing down the game area 902 wins a winning opening such as the starting area 904 or the special winning opening 906, a predetermined number of winning balls are paid out by the payout device.

  Components of the gaming machine 1 not related to the present invention, such as the frame of the gaming machine 1 and the lower plate and the upper plate for storing game balls, are not described. For these, those having the same structure as a known game machine can be applied.

  The jackpot lottery is executed by a winning / failing determination means provided on a control board (not shown) triggered by a winning of a game ball in the starting area 904. In the present embodiment, as the starting area 904, a first starting area 904a (a so-called “special figure 1” starting area) and a second starting area 904b (a so-called “special figure 2” starting area) are provided. When a game ball is awarded to the starting area 904, a numerical value (acceptance determination information) is acquired from a random number source, and if the numerical value is the same as a predetermined jackpot, it is a jackpot. Becomes In the present embodiment, the notification of the validity / non-permanency determination result is started in the order in which the numerical values are obtained (so-called fluctuation is started). In such a case, the newly acquired validity determination information is stored in the storage means provided on the control board (not shown) as suspension information. The fact that the hold information is stored in the storage means is displayed as a hold symbol 70.

  In the present embodiment, as the reserved symbol 70, an effect from the start of the fluctuation of the identification symbol 80 (identification symbol group 80g) for notifying the result of the determination of success / failure to the complete stoppage in a combination indicating the result of the success / failure determination, a so-called one-shot effect. Although the effect during fluctuation is started, the notification of the result of the determination of the success or failure is not completed (hereinafter, also referred to as fluctuation suspension information). A symbol indicating the existence of the "fluctuation hold") and a pre-fluctuation hold symbol 72 corresponding to information for which the notification effect for notifying the result of the determination as to whether or not the change has not been started (hereinafter, also referred to as pre-fluctuation hold information) is displayed. (See FIG. 2). In the present embodiment, the basic pattern of the pending change symbol 71 and the pending reserve symbol 72 are the same, and the pending reserve symbol 71 is displayed larger than the pending reserve symbol 72 in order to distinguish them. You. The basic pattern of the change symbol 71 and the pre-change symbol 72 may be completely different from each other. In addition, a configuration may be employed in which the changing pending symbol 71 is not displayed.

  An upper limit is set for the maximum number of stored pending information before change. In the present embodiment, the maximum number of storages of the first pre-change fluctuation reservation information (special figure 1 reservation) obtained by winning in the first starting area 904a is four, and by storing in the second starting area 904b. The maximum number of stored second pre-change pre-change information (special figure 2 reservation) is four. Therefore, with respect to the reserved symbol 70 corresponding to one of the special figures 1 and 2, one pending symbol 71 and up to four reserved symbols 72 before the variation may be displayed (see FIG. 2). .

  In the present embodiment, as in the case of a known gaming machine, the result of the determination as to whether or not the game is valid is notified to the player by a combination of the identification symbols 80 (see FIG. 2) displayed in the display area 911 of the display device 91. Specifically, the identification symbol group 80g (the left identification symbol group 80gL, the middle identification symbol group 80gC, and the right identification symbol group 80gR) including a plurality of types of identification symbol 80 starts to change, and finally each identification symbol group 80g , One identification symbol 80 is selected and stopped. When the jackpot has been won, the combination of the identification symbols 80 selected and stopped from each of the identification symbol groups 80g is a predetermined combination (for example, three identical identification symbols 80). In the case of a miss, a combination other than that (other than the combination that makes a big hit) is made. The identification symbol 80 may be a combination of numbers, characters, and the like.

  In some drawings other than FIG. 2, the illustration of the reserved symbol 70 and the identification symbol 80 is omitted.

  In the present embodiment, a normal gaming state and a special gaming state are set as the gaming states. The special game state is a game state that is more advantageous to the player than the normal game state. The normal game state is a low-probability game state in which the probability of winning a jackpot is low, and a low-base state (low probability, no time reduction) in which a game ball is difficult to win in the starting area 904. As the special game state, a first special game state and a second special game state are set. The first special game state is a high-probability game state in which the probability of winning a jackpot is high, and a high-base state (high probability / time reduction) in which a game ball easily enters the starting area 904. The second special game state is a low-probability game state in which the probability of winning a jackpot is low, and a high-base state (low probability / time reduction) in which a game ball easily enters the starting area 904. In the normal gaming state, the player fires a game ball aiming at the first starting area 904a. In the present embodiment, so-called “left-handed” is performed. In the special game state, a game ball is fired aiming at the second starting area 904b. In the present embodiment, so-called “right-handed” is performed. The special game state is a state where it is easy to win the open lottery of the second starting area 904b when the game ball enters the normal starting area 905, so that the game ball is relatively easily inserted into the second starting area 904b. Win a prize. Note that the setting relating to the transition of the gaming state may be any setting, and the description thereof will be omitted. The setting of the above-mentioned gaming state is only an example.

2) Projecting portion The projecting portion 21 provided in the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment will be described. Various members (game members 10) with which a game ball can come into contact are fixed to the game board 90. As one type of the member, a game nail 10K can be exemplified. The configuration of the gaming nail 10K itself is the same as that of a known nail. The game nail 10K protrudes forward from the front surface of the game board 90 (see FIG. 3).

  On the front side of the game board 90, a transparent plate 20 formed of a material (a colorless and transparent material in the present embodiment) that makes the game area 902 visible is provided (see FIG. 3). It can be said that the transparent plate 20 is a covering member that covers the game area 902. In addition, it can be said that the transparent plate 20 is positioned so as to face the front surface of the game board 90. Note that the transparent plate 20 is integrated with a known front frame, and the game area 902 is opened by rotating the front frame. Since the key for unlocking the front frame is managed by the gaming machine store, the player cannot insert his / her hand into the gaming area 902 without permission. Unless otherwise specified, the positional relationship of each part refers to the state when the transparent plate 20 (front frame) is located at the original position and the game area 902 is covered (closed). I do.

  The protrusion 21 is a part of the transparent plate 20. Specifically, the protrusion is a protrusion protruding rearward from the rear surface (the surface on the game area 902 side) of the transparent plate 20 (see FIG. 3). In the present embodiment, the protruding portion 21 is formed by being integrally formed with the main body portion of the transparent plate 20 (that is, formed of the same material), but the main body portion and the protruding portion 21 are separately formed, and the protruding portion is formed. 21 may be fixed to the main body. Since the protruding portion 21 is also a portion formed of a transparent material, the protruding portion 21 does not make the game area 902 difficult to see.

  The protruding portion 21 is located so as to be adjacent to a part of the tip of the gaming nail 10K. The protruding portion 21 in the present embodiment is an annular protrusion, and is in a state in which the head (a part of the tip side) of the gaming nail 10K enters inside the “ring”. That is, when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the front-rear direction, the protruding portion 21 overlaps a part of the distal end side of the gaming nail 10K (see the right side of FIG. 3). In the present embodiment, the portion other than the head of the game nail 10 </ b> K does not enter the inside of the protrusion 21. The head of the game nail 10K is circular, and the center of the head of the game nail 10K and the center of the “ring” of the protruding portion 21 are set to substantially match (the game nail 10K is a game board). 90 (in the case where the center axis of the gaming nail 10K is along the front-rear direction) (see the left side of FIG. 3). When viewed from the front-back direction, the distance between the outer edge of the gaming nail 10K (head) and the inner edge of the “ring” of the protrusion 21 is preferably 1 mm or less. If the distance is excessively small, the game nail 10K and the protruding portion 21 come into contact with each other when the transparent plate 20 is rotated together with the front frame, so that a distance where such contact does not occur is secured.

  By providing such a protruding portion 21, the displacement of the game nail 10K is suppressed. Specifically, it is possible to prevent the game nail 10K from unnecessarily falling (tilting). That is, when the game nail 10K falls down by a predetermined amount, the game nail 10K comes into contact with the protrusion 21, so that the game nail 10K is prevented from falling any further. Since the game nail 10K falls down due to contact with the game ball, it can be said that it is meaningful to prevent the fall as in the present embodiment.

  It is not necessary to provide the protrusions 21 corresponding to all the game nails 10K. In order to prevent the game nails 10K (game nails 10K having a great influence on the ball-out performance) from falling down, which are important for securing the game performance (ball-out performance) as expected, the protrusions are formed with respect to the game nails 10K. 21 may be provided. By the action of the protruding portion 21, it is prevented that the payout performance is significantly changed.

  Hereinafter, specific examples in which the matters relating to the protruding portion 21 are improved, embodied, or modified will be described. As far as possible, a configuration in which a plurality of techniques described using the following specific examples are applied may be adopted.

〇First Specific Example In the above-described embodiment, it has been described that the protrusion 21 prevents the game nail 10K from falling down. However, the target game member 10 is not limited to the game nail 10K. Any member provided so as to protrude forward from the game board 90 may be used. For example, in order to prevent a winning member (for example, a member forming the starting region 904) constituting a winning region (a winning opening) from falling down, a protruding portion 21 is provided so as to be adjacent to a part of the tip side of the winning member. A configuration may be adopted.

〇Second Specific Example In the above embodiment, the protruding portion 21 has been described as an annular shape formed so as to surround the head of the gaming nail 10 </ b> K, but the annular shape according to the shape of the target gaming member 10 is described. Should be fine. That is, in the above-described embodiment, since the target game member 10 is the game nail 10K and the head of the game nail 10K is circular in plan view, the projecting portion 21 is formed in an annular shape. If 10 is a rectangular shape in a plan view, the protruding portion 21 has a rectangular ring shape (see FIG. 4). That is, the shape is such that the distance between the outer edge of the portion of the game member 10 surrounded by the protrusion 21 and the inner edge of the protrusion 21 is equidistant along the ring. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the gaming member 10 from unnecessarily falling, regardless of the direction in which the gaming member 10 falls.

{Third Specific Example} The protruding portion 21 does not have to be an annular shape surrounding the gaming member 10. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, it is assumed that a passage R (space) through which a game ball can pass is formed between two game nails 10K arranged in the left-right direction. In order to prevent the size of the passage R from becoming too large, the projecting portion 21 is present on the left side of the game nail 10Ka on the left side of the passage R, and the game nail 10K1 falls significantly to the left. (Based on a similar concept, the protrusion 21 may be present on the right side of the right gaming nail 10Kb). As shown in FIG. 5, if the configuration is such that the game balls that have passed through the passage enter the prize area, the size of the passage R has a large effect on the payout performance. Is large. As described above, the position where the protrusion 21 is formed may be limited depending on the purpose. However, if the protrusion 21 is formed in an annular shape as in the above-described embodiment, there is an advantage that the tilt in any direction is suppressed.

3) Light Amount Adjusting Function The gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment includes the sub display device 30 which is a display device different from the display device 91 (see FIG. 6). The display device 91 can be regarded as a main display device (main display device 91) with respect to the sub-display device 30. The sub display device 30 is provided in front of the display device 91, and a portion where an image is not displayed has light transmissivity (a transmissive display device). The sub display device 30 according to the present embodiment has a light guide plate (called an illumination panel or the like) that allows light to enter from a side surface of a transparent plate and display a predetermined image on the plate. Since the portion where the image is not displayed is transparent, the image displayed on the display device 91 through the portion is directly visible. In addition, the sub display device 30 according to the present embodiment allows the user to visually recognize the image displayed on the display device 91 also through the location where the image is displayed (the location where the image is displayed also has transparency (image Is translucent)). In each of the drawings, the sub-display device 30 and the image displayed thereon are indicated by dotted lines.

  The gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment has a light amount adjustment function. Since the light amount adjustment function itself is publicly known, a detailed description thereof will be omitted. However, the light amount of the light emitting unit provided in the gaming machine 1 can be arbitrarily adjusted by the player. Note that the light emitting section includes not only the light (light source) provided in the gaming machine 1 but also the display device 91. That is, it is assumed that the brightness of the image displayed on the display device 91 can also be adjusted by the light amount adjustment function. In the present embodiment, it is possible to adjust the light amounts of all the light emitting units as a unit in five steps. In the following description, the first-stage light amount (lowest) is referred to as “light amount 1”, the second-stage light amount is referred to as “light amount 2”, and the fifth-stage light amount (highest) is referred to as “light amount 5”. Sometimes. It should be noted that the number of steps of the adjustable light amount can be changed as appropriate. In addition, the number of light emitting units and the like to be subjected to light quantity adjustment can be appropriately increased or decreased.

  In the present embodiment, light amount adjustment can be performed in a standby state. The process shifts to the standby state for a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds) after the notification of all the determination results is completed. In the standby state, a procedure for using the light amount adjustment function on the display device 91 is shown. In the present embodiment, the light amount can be adjusted by operating a cross key (not shown) that is an operation means. Specifically, by operating the left side of the cross key, the light amount decreases by one step, and by operating the right side, the light amount increases by one step.

  When the light amount is adjusted by the light amount adjustment function in this manner, the auxiliary image 31 is displayed on the sub display device 30. The auxiliary image 31 may have any shape. The auxiliary image 31 can change the brightness of the image in five steps. "Auxiliary image 1" associated with "light amount 1", "auxiliary image 2" associated with "light amount 2" ... "auxiliary image 5" associated with "light amount 5", and so on. It is possible to display five types of auxiliary images 31. Each auxiliary image 31 has the same shape, but different brightness (brightness). The brightness increases in the order of “auxiliary image 1” (lowest), “auxiliary image 2”... “Auxiliary image 5” (highest) (see FIG. 7). Each reference image has the same image shape but different brightness.

  The auxiliary image 31 in the present embodiment is used for an effect that constitutes a notification effect. That is, the auxiliary image 31 may be displayed as an effect in a gaming state in which the player is playing (while the identification symbol 80 is changing). By doing so, there is no need to prepare a dedicated image for light amount adjustment. However, it does not deny that the auxiliary image 31 is prepared as an image dedicated to light amount adjustment.

  When the light amount is adjusted, an image indicating the value of the light amount (hereinafter, referred to as a light amount image 92) is displayed on the display device 91. The light quantity image 92 is made visible through the sub-display device 30 even when the auxiliary image 31 is displayed on the sub-display device 30. In the present embodiment, the light amount image 92 is displayed at a position that does not overlap with the auxiliary image 31 in the display area 911. The method of indicating the “light amount value” by the light amount image 92 may be any method as long as the value is visually represented. It may be represented by a number such as light amount 1, light amount 2,... Or may be represented by a meter (may include both a numeral and a meter) (see FIG. 7).

  In the present embodiment, when the light amount changes, the auxiliary image 31 corresponding to the changed light amount is displayed on the sub-display device 30. For example, when an operation of changing “light amount 3” to “light amount 4” is performed, “auxiliary image 4” is displayed on the sub-display device 30. Further, when an operation of changing the light amount to “light amount 5” is performed, “auxiliary image 5” is displayed on the sub display device 30 (see FIG. 7). As described above, since the auxiliary image 31 having the brightness corresponding to the corresponding light amount is displayed, the auxiliary image 31 can be used as a guide when the adjustment is performed, and the light amount can be easily adjusted.

  When the light amount adjustment is performed, a light amount image 92 is displayed on the main display device 91. Since the sub display device 30 in the present embodiment is a transmissive display device, the light amount image 92 displayed on the main display device 91 located behind the sub display device 30 is visually recognized through the sub display device 30 (the auxiliary image 31 is displayed). Even if it is performed, the light amount image 92 does not disappear.) Therefore, it is possible to adjust to a desired light amount while viewing the brightness of the auxiliary image 31 and the light amount value indicated by the light amount image 92 (see FIG. 7).

  Although not shown, in the present embodiment, at least a part of the light emitting units whose light amount changes when the light amount is adjusted, and which emits light even in the standby state, are accompanied by the light amount adjustment. And the light quantity (actual output) changes. The light amount can be adjusted by combining the actual output of the light emitting unit and the auxiliary image 31.

  Hereinafter, specific examples in which the matters related to the light amount adjustment function are improved, embodied, or modified will be described. As far as possible, a configuration in which a plurality of techniques described using the following specific examples are applied may be adopted.

〇First Specific Example At the time of light amount adjustment, the auxiliary image 31 is assumed to be continuously displayed until a predetermined time elapses. That is, it is assumed that the auxiliary image 31 is not displayed once and immediately disappears when the light amount changes, but is continuously displayed for a certain period of time (for example, 10 seconds). When adjusting the amount of light, an operation is often performed such that the level of the amount of light changes in a short period of time (according to the above embodiment, the cross key is frequently operated continuously). Therefore, if the auxiliary image 31 is prevented from disappearing immediately, only the brightness changes while the auxiliary image 31 remains, so that the “difference” caused by a one-step change in the light amount is easy to understand. It will be.

{Second Specific Example} The once displayed auxiliary image 31 is not deleted until a predetermined condition is satisfied. For example, if the light amount can be adjusted in the standby state as in the above embodiment, it is assumed that the once displayed auxiliary image 31 is not deleted until the standby state is canceled. Various conditions can be considered as conditions for eliminating the standby state. It may be triggered by a game ball being fired (operating the firing device 908) or triggered by a game ball winning in the starting area 904 (change of the identification symbol 80 has been started). Good. By preventing the auxiliary image 31 from being erased until the predetermined condition is satisfied, when the light amount is adjusted, only the brightness of the auxiliary image 31 is changed with the auxiliary image 31 remaining. The "difference" caused by one-step change becomes easy to understand.

Third Specific Example In the above-described embodiment, the light amount can be adjusted in the standby state. However, the light amount can be adjusted in a state other than the standby state, that is, in the gaming state (while the identification symbol 80 is changing). Some configuration may be used. However, when the light amount is adjusted in the game state, the auxiliary image 31 is not displayed (the light amount image 92 is displayed). That is, the auxiliary image 31 is displayed during the light amount adjustment during the standby state (see FIG. 8A), but the auxiliary image 31 is not displayed during the light amount adjustment during the gaming state (see FIG. 8B). . As described in the above embodiment, when the auxiliary image 31 is also used as an effect that constitutes the notification effect, the auxiliary image 31 is displayed by performing light amount adjustment during the notification effect. This is because the player may misunderstand that the display of the auxiliary image 31 has occurred as an effect.

  However, if the auxiliary image 31 is set as a dedicated image for light amount adjustment (so that the auxiliary image 31 is not displayed as an effect forming a notification effect), even when the light amount adjustment is performed in the game state, The auxiliary image 31 may be displayed.

〇Fourth specific example It is assumed that the difference between the modes of the auxiliary images 31 (“auxiliary image 1” to “auxiliary image 5”) associated with the respective light amounts is not only “brightness”. For example, it is conceivable that the colors of the images are different. Specifically, not only the lightness increases in the order of “auxiliary image 1”, “auxiliary image 2”,..., “Auxiliary image 5”, but also the “red” component of the image increases ( (The redness gradually increases). By doing so, the change in the amount of light becomes easier to understand. Note that if the colors of the auxiliary image 31 are completely different, the difference in lightness may be difficult to understand. Therefore, the color system should be unified (the above example is an example in which “red” is unified). Is preferred.

4) Mode Change In the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, any one of a plurality of effect modes is set. The mode of the notification effect is determined according to the effect mode currently set (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as the current setting mode). That is, the mode (style) of the notification effect changes according to the current setting mode. In the present embodiment, three types of effect modes, mode A, mode B, and mode C, are set (see FIG. 9). The number of selectable effect modes can be increased or decreased as appropriate. The difference between each effect mode may be any. In the present embodiment, in each of the modes A, B, and C, an effect using the characters A, B, and C as motifs is generated. In other words, the character serving as the motif of the effect changes according to the change in the effect mode. However, this is only an example. A configuration may be adopted in which the probability that a predetermined effect will occur differs depending on the effect mode. Examples of the predetermined effect include a so-called “look-ahead effect”, “one-notification effect”, and “pending change effect”. The frequency of occurrence of these effects changes according to the selection of the effect mode.

  In the present embodiment, it is possible for the player to select a desired effect mode (select which effect mode is the current setting mode). The selection of the effect mode is performed not only during the state where the notification effect is not executed (the state where the change of the identification symbol 80 is stopped) but also during the information effect (the state where the identification symbol 80 is changing). Can be. Any method may be used for requesting the player to switch the production mode. In the present embodiment, the effect mode can be switched by operating the up and down directions of the cross key as the operation means. Hereinafter, control when a change in the effect mode is requested during the notification effect will be described.

  It is assumed that a change from the current setting mode to another effect mode has been requested. In the following description, the other effect mode is referred to as a “desired mode”. If a request to change to the production mode B from the state where the current setting mode is the production mode A is requested, the desired mode is the production mode B. In the present embodiment, even when a change to the desired mode is requested, the change of the desired mode to the current setting mode may not be executed immediately. More specifically, the completion of the notification of the validity / non-permission determination result corresponding to all the hold information (the holding information during the change and the hold information before the change) existing at the time when the request of the player is received is triggered by the completion of the desired mode. To make the current setting mode. In short, the change of the desired mode to the current setting mode is executed when all the holdings existing at the time requested by the player have been exhausted.

  For example, a state in which one piece of pending information during change (variable pending symbol 71) (H1) and two pieces of pre-variation pending information (pre-variation reserved symbol 72) (H2, H3) exist (see FIG. 10A). ), It is assumed that a request to change the effect mode A (current setting mode) to the effect mode B (desired mode) is issued (note that the symbols H1, H2,... , But not actually attached. Those having the same reference numerals correspond to the same hold information (the same validity determination result). At the time when the request is issued (request time), the mode is not immediately switched to the production mode B, but all the pending information existing at the time of the request, that is, one pending change information (H1) and two fluctuation information The effect mode A is maintained until the notification of the success / failure determination result corresponding to the previous suspension information (H2, H3) is completed. In short, after the request time point, until the notification of the three hit / fail judgment results (notification of the loss) is completed, that is, until the notification of the hit / fail judgment result corresponding to the reserved symbol 70 of H3 is completed, the effect mode A is set. It is maintained (see FIGS. 10B and 10C).

  After the request, when the third notification of the result is completed, the effect mode A is switched to the effect mode B. If new hold information (acceptance determination information) (H4) has been acquired after the request, a notification effect (the identification symbol corresponding to the new hold information) in which the new hold information becomes changing holding information The mode is switched to the effect mode B from the time point when the fluctuation starts (see FIG. 10D).

  As described above, in the present embodiment, even when the switching of the effect mode is requested by the player, the effect mode is not immediately switched. Specifically, the present effect mode is maintained until all of the holdings remaining at the time of the request are exhausted, so that effect control is easy. For example, it is conceivable to adopt a configuration in which the effect mode can be switched from the next notification effect (the next fluctuation) after the request, but with such a structure, the time until the effect mode is switched is short, and the control burden is reduced. On the other hand, when the request for the production mode switching is issued immediately before the end of a certain information production, the production mode must be switched almost at the same time as the request time, and a speed corresponding to the switching is required. In the present embodiment, however, there is enough time before the effect mode is switched, which contributes to a reduction in control load.

  Hereinafter, specific examples in which the items related to the mode change are improved, embodied, or modified will be described. As far as possible, a configuration in which a plurality of techniques described using the following specific examples are applied may be adopted.

〇First specific example Controlling the change of the effect mode as in the above embodiment is advantageous in a configuration in which the following look-ahead effect is mounted. The pre-reading effect is to suggest the probability that the result of the determination of the target is a hit during the notification effect on the result of the determination of the determination before the notification is completed before the determination result of the target. Since the pre-reading effect itself is publicly known, detailed description is omitted.

  As a kind of such pre-reading effect, one that occurs only when the current setting mode is a specific effect mode is set. In other words, a look-ahead effect dedicated to a certain effect mode is set. For example, in the case where three types of effect modes A to C are set as effect modes as in the above-described embodiment, this can occur only when the effect mode C is the current setting mode (effect modes A and B). It is assumed that a look-ahead effect (which may not be generated in the following) (hereinafter also referred to as a specific look-ahead effect C) is set. The specific form of the specific lookahead effect C may be any. For example, it is conceivable to use a look-ahead effect in which the character C that is the motif of the effect mode C appears.

  It is assumed that it is determined that the specific look-ahead effect C is to be executed when the effect mode C is the current setting mode. For example, there are four pieces of pending information H1 to H4 (variable pending information (variable pending symbol 71) (H1) and three pre-variant pending information (pre-variable reserved symbol 72) (H2, H3, H4)). In this state, the determination result corresponding to the hold information of H4 is set as the determination result of the target of the specific look-ahead effect C, and the determination is made during the notification effect regarding the determination result corresponding to the hold information of H2 and H3. It is assumed that prefetching effect C is to be executed. Note that, in the present example, during the notification effect (during the notification effect of the prefetch target) corresponding to the determination result corresponding to the hold information of H4, the effect based on the assumption that the specific look-ahead effect C is executed ( An effect (for example, an effect using the character C) during the notification effect of the prefetch target (H4), which is executed while ensuring continuity from the prefetch effect, is generated. Therefore, when the specific look-ahead effect C is executed, it is necessary to be in the effect mode C until the notification effect of the prefetch target (H4) ends. Based on that, it is assumed that the thing including the fluctuation effect is the specific look-ahead effect C. In other words, the specific look-ahead effect C is executed during the notification effect on the result of the determination as to whether or not the suspension information corresponds to the hold information of H2 to H4 (see FIG. 11A).

  In this case, even in the case where a change from the effect mode C to the effect mode A is requested in a state where the four pieces of hold information H1 to H4 are present, the determination result of the hit / failure corresponding to the hold information before the change of H4 is given. Until the notification is completed, the state in which the current setting mode is the effect mode C is maintained (see FIGS. 11B and 11C). Therefore, the specific look-ahead effect C (including the variable effect) can be executed to the end. That is, for example, assuming a configuration in which the mode is switched to the effect mode A before all of the suspensions existing at the time of the request are exhausted, the specific look-ahead effect C is not continuously executed as it is ( Although control must be performed so that the control is stopped halfway, there is an advantage that such control need not be performed.

〇Second example After the player has made a request to change to the desired mode (request time), there is a period until the change of the desired mode to the current setting mode is completed, that is, at the request time. A display indicating that the change of the desired mode to the current setting mode has not been completed (hereinafter, not completed) during a period (hereinafter, also referred to as a change waiting period) until all the held reservations are consumed. Display 40).

  For example, when a change from the effect mode B (current setting mode) to the effect mode C (desired mode) is requested, a display such as "waiting for mode C" is made as the change incomplete display 40 in the change waiting period. (See FIG. 12). In other words, by displaying that the “(production) mode C” is in the “standby” state, the request to change to the production mode C has been accepted by the player, but the change has not been completed yet. Indicates that As described above, the change incomplete display 40 is such that the player can understand that "the request for the effect mode change of the player has been accepted" and "the change to the desired mode has not been completed yet". Should be fine. By doing so, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the player wonders that the mode is not changed to the desired mode from occurring (the player performs an unnecessary operation so that the change to the desired mode is realized). Is possible). The change incomplete display 40 does not need to be continuously displayed throughout the change waiting period. For example, the information may be displayed during at least a part of the change waiting period, such as displaying the change waiting period for a certain period of time after the start of the change waiting period.

〇Third specific example After a point in time when a request to change to the desired mode is made by the player (request time), the change is made in the change waiting period, which is a period until the change of the desired mode to the current setting mode is completed. , A change completion schedule display 41 indicating the timing at which is scheduled to be completed.

  The change completion schedule display 41 uses the reserved symbol 70. For example, a state in which three pieces of hold information H1 to H3 (change-holding information (change-holding symbol 71) (H1) and two change-holding information before change (change-holding symbol 72) (H2, H3)) exist Suppose that a request to change from the effect mode A (current setting mode) to the effect mode B (desired mode) has been accepted. In this case, the effect mode A (current setting) is indicated by pointing to the holding symbol 70 (the changing holding symbol 71 and the changing holding symbol 72) indicating the existence of the holding information H1 to H3. Mode) is displayed (see FIG. 13B). In other words, it indicates to the player that the effect mode A is maintained until the digestion of the hold information (hold symbol 70) H1 to H3 is completed. This display is the change completion schedule display 41. The player who has seen this holds the effect mode A until the digestion of the hold information (hold symbol 70) H1 to H3 is completed, that is, changes to the effect mode B thereafter. You will understand that. After the request, each time one hold is completed, the number of the hold symbols 70 indicated by the change completion schedule display 41 decreases (see FIGS. 13B and 13C).

  Note that, unlike the above example, the holding information (holding symbol 70) H1 to H3 obtained after the holding information (holding symbol 70) H4, H5,... Thus, an image indicating the effect mode B (desired mode) may be displayed as the change completion schedule display 41 (see FIG. 14A). In this way, the player can recognize that the desired effect mode B is started from the notification effect corresponding to the hold information (holding symbol 70) H4.

  A combination of the above examples may be used. That is, as shown in FIG. 14B, both the holding information (holding symbol 70) for maintaining the current setting mode and the holding information (holding symbol 70) for changing to the desired mode are displayed. Good.

  The above display method is only an example. It is only necessary to understand the timing at which the effect mode is actually switched. In short, it is only necessary to understand at least one of the hold information (holding symbol 70) for ending the current setting mode and the holding information (holding symbol 70) for starting the desired mode. For example, as shown in FIG. 14C, an image showing between the reserved symbol 70 in which the current setting mode is maintained and the reserved symbol 70 to be changed to the desired mode is displayed as the change completion schedule display 41. It may be.

5) Reservation Lighting Unit The mode of the reservation symbol 70 (retention symbol 71 during fluctuation, reservation symbol 72 before fluctuation) suggests a probability (big hit reliability) that the corresponding determination result becomes a big hit. In the present embodiment, a normal mode and three special modes (first special mode to third special mode) are set as the modes of the reserved symbol 70. The normal mode, the first special mode, the second special mode, and the third special mode are set so that the jackpot reliability is high (the normal mode is the lowest) (see FIG. 15). A jackpot determination mode (special mode) may be set. Each of the aspects is associated with a color. In the present embodiment, the normal mode is based on white, the first special mode is based on blue, the second special mode is based on green, and the third special mode is based on red (in each figure, the color is indicated by characters). . Note that a plurality of types may be set for the normal mode and each special mode.

  The gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment includes a hold light emitting unit 50 (see FIG. 1). The reserved light emitting section 50 is a portion including a color LED, and has a light emitting mode corresponding to the mode of the reserved symbol 70. In the present embodiment, when any one of the plurality of reserved symbols 70 is in the special mode, the reserved light emitting section 50 emits light in a mode corresponding to the special mode (see FIG. 16). That is, when one of the plurality of reserved symbols 70 is in the first special mode, it is blue, when it is in the second special mode, it is green, and when it is in the third special mode, it is red. Emits light. When all of the reserved symbols 70 are in the normal mode, the reserved light emitting unit 50 emits white light. However, when all the holding symbols 70 are in the normal mode, the setting may be such that the holding light emitting unit 50 does not emit light. Since the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment has only one reserved light emitting unit 50, the gaming machine 1 does not necessarily correspond to any one of the plurality of reserved symbols 70.

  In the present embodiment, two or more of the plurality of pending symbols 70 (variable pending symbols 71 and pre-variation pending symbols 72) are set so as not to occur in a special mode. Even if the reserved symbol 70 is generated, there is only one, and the reserved light emitting unit 50 has a light emitting mode according to the special mode of the one reserved symbol 70. However, a configuration in which a situation in which a plurality of reserved symbols 70 are in a special mode may occur. In this case, the reserved light emitting section 50 is in a light emitting mode according to any one of the plurality of special modes (corresponding pending). There are various methods for determining the suspension of the response. For example, the so-called reserved pattern 70 in the special mode having the earliest digestion order may be set as the corresponding pending. Further, the reserved symbol 70 in the special mode having the highest jackpot reliability may be set as the corresponding pending.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when any of the during-variation holding symbol 71 and the before-variation holding symbol 72 becomes the special mode, the reserved light emitting unit 50 becomes the light emitting mode according to the special mode. Only the middle reserved symbol 71 may be targeted. In other words, it is assumed that the light emission mode of the reserved light emitting unit 50 is controlled according to the mode of the one pending symbol 71, regardless of the mode of the pre-change reserved symbol 72.

  The position where the reserved light emitting section 50 is provided is not particularly limited, but is preferably a position where the player can assume that the reserved light emitting section 50 corresponds to the mode of the reserved symbol 70. In the present embodiment, it is provided on a member constituting the first starting area 904a (the starting area in FIG. 1) (see FIG. 1). Since the holding information (holding symbol 70) is obtained when a game ball wins in the first starting area 904a, the holding light emitting unit 50 is provided in a member constituting the first starting area 904a.

  In the present embodiment, it is possible to execute a hold change effect that leads to a result that the mode of the hold symbol 70 changes. The change of the mode of the reserved symbol 70 is limited to a direction in which the jackpot reliability increases. Not only a change from the normal mode to any special mode, but also a change from one special mode to another special mode can occur. Further, a change in two or more stages may occur, such as a change from the normal mode to the second special mode, a change from the first special mode to the third special mode, and so on.

  The pending change production includes a pending change production production (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as a production production). The holding change effect is an effect for indicating to the player that the mode of the holding symbol 70 may change. In the pending change effect, the end of the success will be either a success result in which the mode of the reserved symbol 70 changes through a fantastic effect or a failure result in which the mode of the reserved symbol 70 does not change. The fact that the change in the mode of the reserved symbol 70 is limited in the direction of increasing the jackpot reliability means that a successful result is a result advantageous to the player, and a failed result is a result disadvantageous to the player.

  The reserved symbol 70 to be the target of the pending change effect is a target reserved symbol 70T (see FIG. 17A). In the fanning effect, a display is made to indicate to the player that the target reserved symbol 70T displayed in the display area 911 is the target of the effect. If a plurality of reserved symbols 70 are displayed, a display is made so that the other reserved symbols 70 and the target reserved symbol 70T can be clearly distinguished from each other. In the present embodiment, a display is made as a flirting effect such that the brightness of the target reserved symbol 70T itself or its surroundings increases with time (see FIGS. 17B and 17C). That is, a display is made as if the target reserved symbol 70T was brighter than the other reserved symbols 70.

  In addition to the above-described display in the display area 911, the light emission mode of the reserved light-emitting unit 50 is set to the fanning mode. In the present embodiment, the reserved light emitting unit 50 has a light emission mode as if the light amount increases with time. In other words, the light-emitting unit 50 (see FIG. 17A), which emits light at a constant light amount before the fluttering effect occurs, has a light-emitting mode in which the light amount gradually increases simultaneously with the start of the flirting effect. (See FIGS. 17B and 17C). In this way, the control is performed so that the light amount (brightness) of the reserved light emitting unit 50 gradually increases in accordance with the target reserve symbol 70T displayed in the display area 911 gradually becoming brighter. It can be said that the effect is such that a change in the target reserved symbol 70T displayed in the display area 911 and a change in the reserved light emitting unit 50 are linked.

  The color of the reserved light emitting unit 50 at the time of the fanning effect is made to correspond to the color of the target reserved symbol 70T. In other words, the color of the reserved light emitting unit 50 before the fluttering effect occurs is maintained even in the flirting effect. For example, if the target reserved symbol 70T is in the normal mode, the emission color of the reserved light emitting unit 50 in the flirting effect is white. In other words, the fanning effect is such that the brightness (light amount) of white light gradually increases (see FIGS. 17B and 17C). Similarly, for example, if the target reserved symbol 70T is the second special mode, the emission color of the reserved light-emitting unit 50 in the fanning effect is green. That is, irrespective of whether or not the hold change effect finally ends in success, the emission color of the hold light emitting section 50 corresponding to the mode of the target hold symbol 70T before the effect is generated is also maintained in the fantastic effect. Assuming that the pending change effect is a successful outcome, in the fanning effect, the emission color of the reserved light emitting unit 50 corresponding to the mode of the reserved symbol 70 before the change is meant.

  When the hold change effect is a successful outcome, the target hold symbol 70T displayed in the display area 911 is in a mode (changed mode) corresponding thereto. At substantially the same time that the target reserved symbol 70T is in the changed state, the light emission mode of the reserved light emitting unit 50 corresponds to the changed state of the target reserved symbol 70T. For example, when the state after the change of the target reserved symbol 70T is the third special mode, the light emission mode (light emission color) of the reserved light emitting unit 50 is set to red almost at the same time when the success is reached (see FIG. )reference). When the pending change effect results in a failure, the state of the target reserved symbol 70T is maintained, and the light emitting mode of the reserved light emitting unit 50 also returns to the original state (see FIG. 18B).

  As described above, in the hold change effect in the present embodiment, since the light emission mode of the hold light emitting unit 50 is set to the fanning mode as the fanning effect, it is easy to understand that the hold change may occur. In particular, since the tilting mode in the present embodiment is a mode in which the light quantity of the reserved light emitting unit 50 gradually increases, it is easy to grasp as an image that the target reserved symbol 70T is likely to change.

  Hereinafter, a description will be given of specific examples in which the items related to the above-mentioned pending change production (promotional production) are improved, embodied, or modified. As far as possible, a configuration in which a plurality of techniques described using the following specific examples are applied may be adopted.

〇First specific example The tilting mode, which is the light emitting mode of the reserved light emitting unit 50 during the tilting effect, is not limited to the one described in the above embodiment. The tilting mode in the above-described embodiment has been described as a mode in which the amount of light gradually increases (with time) while maintaining the emission color. However, the opposite setting, that is, while maintaining the emission color, is described. A mode in which the amount of light gradually decreases (with time) may be adopted. In addition, a mode in which the light emission color is blinked while maintaining the color may be adopted.

  Further, it is also conceivable that the emission color of the reserved light emitting unit 50 is gradually changed (with time) so as to be a tilting mode. For example, in a stirrer effect indicating that the normal mode (white) may change to the first special mode (blue), the emission color gradually changes from white to blue (the “blue” element gradually increases). ). If the result is successful, the light emission color is blue (a light emission form corresponding to the first special mode). If the result is a failure end, the light emission color is returned to a white light emission color (a light emission form corresponding to the normal state). In other words, the emission color corresponding to the mode of the reserved symbol 70 that may change (or the color of the reserved symbol 70 after the change in the case of a successful outcome) gradually approaches from the emission color corresponding to the mode of the reserved symbol 70 before the change. It is good also as a mode of swaying. Note that, in the case of the tilting mode, the light amount may increase (or decrease) over time, or the light amount may be maintained.

{Second Specific Example] Although the gaming machine 1 according to the above-described embodiment includes only one reserved light-emitting unit 50, a configuration in which the reserved light-emitting units 50 corresponding to each of the reserved symbols 70 may be provided. It is assumed that the same control as that of the above-described embodiment is executed for the hold light emitting unit 50 corresponding to the target hold symbol 70T of the hold change effect (fanning effect).

〇Third Specific Example In the change-on-hold effect, the hold light emitting unit 50 is not always in the fluttering mode. That is, at the time of the hold change effect, the hold light-emitting unit 50 may be in the swinging mode or may not be in the swinging mode. Then, the end of the hold change effect is more successful in the case where the reserved light emitting unit 50 is in the fluttering mode than in the case where the reserved light emitting unit 50 is not in the fluttering mode (the jackpot reliability is increased). (The direction of the reserved symbol 70 changes in the direction) (see FIG. 19). In other words, a configuration in which the reserved light emitting unit 50 is set in a fluttering mode is set as a so-called chance up. By doing so, it is possible to set an effect mode in which the player pays attention to the mode of the hold light emitting unit 50 when the hold change effect occurs.

〇Fourth specific example A configuration in which a plurality of types of tilting of the reserved light emitting unit 50 are set. Specifically, even if the form of the target reserved symbol 70T is the same, the fluttering form is not necessarily the same every time. For example, when the target reserved symbol 70T is in the normal mode, the first tilt mode in which the light amount is gradually increased with the white luminescent color, and the second tilt mode in which the flash is controlled with the white luminescent color Is set. In other words, the emission color is determined according to the target reserved symbol 70T, and the difference in the emission mode is set by other factors. Then, the result of the pending change effect is more successful in the case where the other tilting mode occurs than in the case where the other tilting mode occurs (the mode of the pending symbol 70 in the direction in which the jackpot reliability increases). Is changed) (see FIG. 20. Note that the magnitude relationship of the jackpot reliability may be opposite to that shown in FIG. 20). By doing in this way, it is possible to set an effect mode in which the player pays attention to the mode of the reserved light emitting unit 50 at the time of the fanning effect.
