Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a gaming machine capable of performing variable display and controllable to an advantageous state advantageous to a player.

Background Art

[0002] In a pachinko gaming machine or the like as a gaming machine, for example, after a normal jackpot occurs, it is controlled to a normal gaming state, and the probability of determining a jackpot is set to about 1 / 300. When no jackpot occurs even when the number of executed special figure games reaches 1000 times, the gaming state is controlled to a ceiling probability variation state, and the probability of determining a jackpot is increased to about 1 / 100. There are also those in which, when no 1000-game jackpot occurs in the normal gaming state, a time-saving state may be generated instead of the ceiling probability variation state (see, for example, Patent Document 1). Further, there is one that executes control to display a normal background display during a first customer waiting period after the variable display of the symbols ends, and to display a demonstration display during a second customer waiting period after the first customer waiting period ends (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

[0004] However, there is room for improving the commerciality of gaming machines having the functions and configurations of Patent Documents 1 and 2.

[0005] This invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a gaming machine with improved commerciality. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The gaming machine described in claim 1 is A gaming machine that displays variable special identification information based on the fulfillment of the starting conditions, and can be controlled to a favorable state for the player, Display means and Movable body and, Light-emitting means and Light emission control means, An effect execution means capable of performing a specific effect that notifies whether or not the system is controlled to the advantageous state, and a special effect that operates the movable body and illuminates the light-emitting means, Equipped with, The aforementioned performance execution means is As the aforementioned specific performance, it is possible to perform a first specific performance that displays a specific character and notifies whether or not the system is controlled to the advantageous state using the specific character, and a second specific performance that does not display the specific character and notifies whether or not the system is controlled to the advantageous state. When it is announced that the system will be controlled to the advantageous state in the aforementioned specific performance, the special performance can be executed during the execution period of the aforementioned specific performance. During the execution period of the special performance in the first specific performance, the specific character is displayed along with an effect image related to the movement of the movable body. During the execution period of the special effect in the second specific effect, the effect image in the same manner as the first specific effect is displayed, while the specific character is not displayed. The mode of illumination of the light-emitting means in the special effect is the same whether the special effect is performed in the first specific effect or in the second specific effect. The aforementioned effect image is an image that is displayed in conjunction with the movement of the movable body and is not displayed at a time prior to the movement of the movable body. The probability of being controlled to the advantageous state is higher when the first specific performance is performed than when the second specific performance is performed. The aforementioned display means is During the first period after the game ends, a background display is shown. In the second period following the end of the first period, a demonstration display is shown. It is possible to display a variable display of performance identification information corresponding to the variable display of the special identification information. When the aforementioned starting condition is met, the variable display of the performance identification information is displayed such that the transparency of the performance identification information changes from a first value to a second value which is higher than the first value. When the aforementioned demonstration display is displayed and the activation condition is met, the display is switched from the demonstration display to the variable display of the performance identification information before the transparency of the performance identification information reaches the second value. The aforementioned light emission control means is During the first period, the light-emitting means is controlled using a background display brightness data table corresponding to the background display. During the second period, the light-emitting means is controlled using the demonstration display brightness data table corresponding to the demonstration display. When the start condition is met while the demonstration display is displayed by the display means, the light-emitting means is controlled by switching from the demonstration display brightness data table to the brightness data table corresponding to the variable display of the performance identification information, before the display means switches from the demonstration display to the display corresponding to the variable display of the performance identification information. If a specific error occurs, the light-emitting means can be controlled using the specific error brightness data table. When the aforementioned specific error occurs, it is possible to start controlling the light-emitting means using the specific error brightness data table before the display means displays a display corresponding to the specific error. The total number of luminance data points constituting the demonstration display luminance data table is greater than the total number of luminance data points constituting the background display luminance data table used in game state 1. The luminance data constituting the demonstration display luminance data table and the luminance data constituting the specific error luminance data table have different proportions of colors. It is characterized by the following.

[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0009] An embodiment for implementing the gaming machine according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0010] (Feature section 069SG form) (SG2020-069) Gaming machine of type 1-1, A gaming machine (for example, a pachinko machine 1) that displays a variable status based on whether the starting conditions have been met (for example, when a game ball enters the starting prize slot) and can be controlled to an advantageous state for the player (for example, a jackpot game state), State control means capable of controlling between a non-special state and a special state in which the starting conditions are more likely to be met than in the non-special state (for example, a part in which the CPU 103 can control between a normal state, a time-saving state A in which time-saving control is performed to improve the fluctuation efficiency of special symbols (especially the second special symbol), a probability variation state, and a time-saving state B), A decision means capable of determining whether to control to the aforementioned advantageous state (for example, the part in which the CPU 103 executes a jackpot determination process in step 069SGS62 of the special symbol normal processing), Based on the determination result of the aforementioned determination means, a variable display pattern determination means capable of determining one variable display pattern from among multiple types of variable display patterns with different variable display periods (for example, the part in which the CPU 103 determines one of multiple types of variable patterns based on the variable display result in the variable pattern setting process of step 069SGS111), Equipped with, The special state includes a first special state (e.g., time-saving state A) that is controlled when the advantageous state controlled from the non-special state (e.g., normal state) ends, and a second special state (e.g., time-saving state B) that is controlled on the condition that a predetermined number of variable displays (e.g., 900 times) have been performed. When the variable display is not determined by the determination means to control to the advantageous state, the number of variable display patterns that the variable display pattern determination means can determine in the second special state is less than the number of variable display patterns that can be determined in the first special state (for example, when the variable display result is a "miss", the number of losing variation patterns that the CPU 103 can determine in "Shortened Time State B" (e.g., 2) is less than the number of variable display patterns that can be determined in "Shortened Time State A" (e.g., 3), and less than the number of losing variation patterns that can be determined in "Probability Change State" (e.g., 4)). When the variable display is not controlled to the advantageous state by the determination means, the average duration of the variable display period of the variable display pattern determined by the variable display pattern determination means in the second special state is shorter than the average duration of the variable display period of the variable display pattern determined in the first special state (for example, when the variable display result is a "miss", the average duration of the variable display time of the losing variation pattern determined by the CPU 103 in "Time-Saving State B" (e.g., about 2.2 seconds) is less than the average duration of the variable display time of the losing variation pattern determined in "Time-Saving State A" (e.g., about 5.58 seconds), and less than the average duration of the variable display time of the losing variation pattern determined in "Probability Change State" (e.g., about 4.83 seconds). See Figure 11-50). It is characterized by the following. According to this feature, in the second special state controlled after a predetermined number of variable displays, considering that a long period of time has passed during which the system is not controlled to a favorable state, the variable displays for which it is not decided to control to a favorable state have fewer types of variable display patterns and a shorter average period of variable display time. As a result, the rate at which the variable displays are consumed is higher than in other states, thus providing a suitable second special state.

[0011] The gaming machine of form 1-2 is the gaming machine described in form 1-1, It is possible to display variable amounts of decorative identification information in multiple rows (for example, decorative patterns displayed in decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5R, and 5C). The starting order of the variable display of decorative identification information in each column is common to both cases: when, in the first special state, the variable display of decorative identification information is not controlled to the advantageous state by the determination means and a non-specific display result is displayed; and when, in the second special state, the variable display of decorative identification information is not controlled to the advantageous state by the determination means and a non-specific display result is displayed. The time until the variable display speed of the decoration identification information for each column that has started variable display reaches the maximum speed is different between the case where the mode of the variable display of the decoration identification information does not become a specific mode and a non-specific display result is displayed in a variable display where it is not determined by the determination means to control to the advantageous state in the first special state, and the case where the mode of the variable display of the decoration identification information does not become a specific mode and a non-specific display result is displayed in a variable display where it is not determined by the determination means to control to the advantageous state in the second special state (for example, the start order of the variable display of the decorative patterns in the decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5R, and 5C is the same when the non-reach deviation variation pattern is present in the probability variation state and the time shortening state A, and when the non-reach deviation variation pattern is present in the time shortening state B, but the time until the decorative patterns in the decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5R, and 5C reach the maximum speed is shorter in the time shortening state B than in the probability variation state and the time shortening state A (tb1~tb2 < ta1~ta3). Refer to FIG. 11-51), It is characterized by this. According to this feature, in the first special state and the second special state, while the start order of the variable display of the decoration identification information for each column is common, the time until reaching the maximum speed is different, so different impressions can be given for each state to enhance the interest.

[0012] The gaming machine of Form 1-3 is the gaming machine described in Form 1-1 or Form 1-2, and it is possible to perform variable display of decoration identification information (for example, decorative patterns) in multiple columns, The stopping order of the variable display of decorative identification information in each row differs depending on whether, in the first special state, the variable display of decorative identification information is not controlled to the advantageous state by the determination means and a non-specific display result is displayed, or in the second special state, the variable display of decorative identification information is not controlled to the advantageous state by the determination means and a non-specific display result is displayed (for example, in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5R, and 5C, the stopping order of the variable display of decorative symbols is left → right → middle in the case of a non-reach failure variation pattern in the probability variation state and time reduction state A, and in the case of a non-reach failure variation pattern in time reduction state B, left, middle, and right are stopped and displayed simultaneously. See Figure 11-51). It is characterized by the following. This feature allows for different display stop sequences for decorative identification information in each column between the first special state and the second special state, thereby creating different impressions for each state and enhancing the overall appeal.

[0013] A gaming machine of form 1-4 is a gaming machine described in any of forms 1-1 to 1-3, It is possible to display variable information for multiple rows of decorative identification information (e.g., decorative patterns). The stopping order of the variable display of decorative identification information in each column is common to both cases: when, in the first special state, the variable display of decorative identification information is not controlled to the advantageous state by the determination means and a non-specific display result is displayed without the variable display being controlled to the specific state; and when, in the second special state, the variable display of decorative identification information is not controlled to the advantageous state by the determination means and a non-specific display result is displayed without the variable display being controlled to the specific state. The time from when one decorative identification information in multiple rows is stopped to when the next decorative identification information is stopped differs depending on whether, in the first special state, the variable display of the decorative identification information does not become a specific mode and a non-specific display result is displayed in a variable display that is not determined to be controlled to the advantageous state by the determination means, or in the second special state, the variable display of the decorative identification information does not become a specific mode and a non-specific display result is displayed in a variable display that is not determined to be controlled to the advantageous state by the determination means (for example, decorative pattern display). The stopping order of the variable display of decorative symbols in areas 5L, 5R, and 5C is the same whether it is a non-reach failure variation pattern in the probability variation state, time reduction state A, or time reduction state B. However, the time from when a decorative symbol stops to when the next decorative symbol stops in one of the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5R, or 5C may differ depending on whether it is a non-reach failure variation pattern in the probability variation state, time reduction state A, or time reduction state B. It is characterized by the following. This feature allows for different impressions and enhances interest by having different time intervals between the display of one decorative identification piece and the display of the next decorative identification piece in the first and second special states.

[0014] A gaming machine of form 1-5 is a gaming machine described in any of forms 1-1 to 1-4, It is possible to display variable information for multiple rows of decorative identification information (e.g., decorative patterns). The system includes an output means capable of outputting a stop sound when the decorative identification information for each column is displayed in a stopped state. The number of times the stop sound is output in the variable display of 1 differs depending on whether the variable display of the decorative identification information does not become a specific mode and a non-specific display result is displayed in the first special state where the determination means does not decide to control the variable display to the advantageous state, or whether the variable display of the decorative identification information does not become a specific mode and a non-specific display result is displayed in the second special state where the determination means does not decide to control the variable display to the advantageous state (for example, the number of times the symbol stop sound is output in the variable display of 1 is 3 times in the non-reach miss variation pattern in the probability variation state and time reduction state A because the left, middle, and right symbols stop at different timings, and 1 time in the non-reach miss variation pattern in time reduction state B because the left, middle, and right symbols stop at the same timing. See Figure 11-51). It is characterized by the following. This feature allows the stopping sound to draw attention to the stopping of decorative identification information, and by having different numbers of stopping sounds output for the first special state and the second special state, it is possible to create different impressions for each state and enhance interest.

[0015] A gaming machine of form 1-6 is a gaming machine described in any of forms 1-1 to 1-5, It is possible to display variable information for multiple rows of decorative identification information (e.g., decorative patterns). The system includes an output means capable of outputting a stop sound when the decorative identification information for each column is displayed in a stopped state. The number of times the stop sound is output in the variable display of 1 is common to both cases: when the variable display of decorative identification information does not become a specific mode and a non-specific display result is displayed in the variable display where the determination means does not determine to control the advantageous state in the first special state; and when the variable display of decorative identification information does not become a specific mode and a non-specific display result is displayed in the variable display where the determination means does not determine to control the advantageous state in the second special state (for example, the number of times the symbol stop sound is output in the variable display of 1 may be common to both cases where it is a non-reach miss variation pattern in the probability variation state and time-saving state A; and cases where it is a non-reach miss variation pattern in time-saving state B). It is characterized by the following. This feature allows the stopping sound to draw attention to the stopping of decorative identification information, and by standardizing the number of times the stopping sound is output between the first and second special states, development costs can be reduced.

[0016] A gaming machine of form 1-7 is a gaming machine described in any of forms 1-1 to 1-6, It is possible to display decorative identification information (e.g., decorative patterns) in a variable manner. When the determination means does not determine that the system should be controlled to the advantageous state, and the variable display mode of the decorative identification information is a variable display that displays a non-specific display result without becoming a specific mode, the system is equipped with a display means capable of executing a specific operation display that causes the decorative identification information to perform a specific operation when the decorative identification information is stopped from being displayed. In the first special state, if the decorative identification information is displayed as stopped, the specific action display is executed; in the second special state, if the decorative identification information is displayed as stopped, the specific action display is not executed (for example, in the probability variation state and time reduction state A, if the variation pattern is one of non-reach failure, the specific action display (symbol stop action) is performed, whereas in time reduction state B, if the variation pattern is one of non-reach failure, the specific action display (symbol stop action) is not performed. See Figures 11-51 to 11-54). It is characterized by the following. This feature allows for enhanced visual effects through specific action displays in the first special state, while smooth variable displays can be achieved by not performing specific action displays in the second special state.

[0017] A gaming machine of form 1-8 is a gaming machine described in any of forms 1-1 to 1-7, It is possible to display decorative identification information (e.g., decorative patterns) in a variable manner. When the determination means does not determine that the system should be controlled to the advantageous state, and the variable display mode of the decorative identification information is a variable display that displays a non-specific display result without becoming a specific mode, the system is equipped with a display means capable of executing a specific operation display that causes the decorative identification information to perform a specific operation when the decorative identification information is stopped from being displayed. The display mode of the specified action display is common to both the case where the decorative identification information is displayed in a stopped state in the first special state and the case where the decorative identification information is displayed in a stopped state in the second special state (for example, the specified action display (symbol stop action) is common to both the case where the non-reach failure variation pattern occurs in the probability variation state and time-saving state A and the case where the non-reach failure variation pattern occurs in time-saving state B, thereby enhancing the effect of the performance with the specified action display while making the mode of the specified action display common to the case of the probability variation state and time-saving state A and time-saving state B. See Figures 11-51 to 11-54). It is characterized by the following. This feature allows for enhanced visual effects through specific action displays, while simultaneously reducing development costs by standardizing the specific action display patterns between the first and second special states.

[0018] A gaming machine of form 1-9 is a gaming machine described in any of forms 1-1 to 1-8, It is possible to synchronize and variably display decorative identification information (e.g., decorative patterns) and predetermined identification information different from said decorative identification information (e.g., small patterns), The period from when the identification information is stopped to when the predetermined identification information is stopped is shorter in the case where the variable display of the decorative identification information does not become a specific mode and a non-specific display result is displayed when the determination means does not decide to control the advantageous state in the second special state, compared with the case where the variable display of the decorative identification information does not become a specific mode and a non-specific display result is displayed when the determination means does not decide to control the advantageous state in the first special state (for example, the period from when the decorative symbol is stopped to when the small symbol is stopped is shorter in the case of a non-reach miss variation pattern in time-saving state B than in the case of a non-reach miss variation pattern in probability change state and time-saving state A {t1(ta6~ta7)>t2(tb3~tb4)} portion. See Figure 11-51). It is characterized by the following. This feature enables smooth variable display in the second special state.

[0019] A gaming machine of form 1-10 is a gaming machine described in any of forms 1-1 to 1-9, It is possible to display decorative identification information (e.g., decorative patterns) in a variable manner. In the first special state, the minimum period from when the decorative identification information is stopped displaying in variable display 1 until the variable display of the decorative identification information begins in the next variable display is common to both the first special state and the second special state. (For example, the symbol confirmation period (ta7~ta8), which is the minimum period from when the decorative symbol is stopped displaying in variable display 1 until the variable display of the decorative symbol begins in the next variable display in the probability variation state and time reduction state A, and the symbol confirmation period (tb4~tb5), which is the minimum period from when the decorative symbol is stopped displaying in variable display 1 until the variable display of the decorative symbol begins in the next variable display in time reduction state B, are common parts. See Figure 11-51.) It is characterized by the following. This feature allows for a reduction in development costs by standardizing control processes that take into account drawing processes and other factors until the decorative identification information is completely displayed.

[0020] A gaming machine of form 1-11 is a gaming machine described in any of forms 1-1 to 1-10, When the variable display is not determined by the determination means to control it to the advantageous state, the variable display pattern determination means can determine a variable display pattern in the second special state, and when the variable display is not determined by the determination means to control it to the advantageous state, the variable display pattern determination means can determine a variable display pattern in the first special state, and these are common (for example, when the variable display result is a "miss", the loss variation pattern that the CPU 103 can determine in "Time-Saving State B" (e.g., "Non-Reach A") and the loss variation pattern that can determine in "Time-Saving State A" and "Probability Variation State" (e.g., "Non-Reach A") are common parts). It is characterized by the following. This feature allows for reduced development costs and program size by eliminating the need to set variable display patterns that can only be determined by the second special state.

[0021] (SG2020-070) Gaming machine of type 2-1, A gaming machine (for example, a pachinko machine 1) that displays a variable status based on whether the starting conditions have been met (for example, when a game ball enters the starting prize slot) and can be controlled to an advantageous state for the player (for example, a jackpot game state), State control means capable of controlling between a non-special state and a special state in which the starting conditions are more likely to be met than in the non-special state (for example, a part in which the CPU 103 can control between a normal state, a time-saving state A in which time-saving control is performed to improve the fluctuation efficiency of special symbols (especially the second special symbol), a probability variation state, and a time-saving state B), A decision means capable of determining whether to control to the aforementioned advantageous state (for example, the part in which the CPU 103 executes a jackpot determination process in step 069SGS62 of the special symbol normal processing), Based on the determination result of the aforementioned determination means, a variable display pattern determination means capable of determining one variable display pattern from among multiple types of variable display patterns with different variable display periods (for example, the part in which the CPU 103 determines one of multiple types of variable patterns based on the variable display result in the variable pattern setting process of step 069SGS111), Equipped with, The special state includes a first special state (e.g., time-saving state A) that is controlled when the advantageous state controlled from the non-special state (e.g., normal state) ends, a second special state (e.g., time-saving state B) that is controlled on the condition that a predetermined number of variable displays (e.g., 900 times) have been performed, and a third special state (e.g., probability-changing state) that is controlled when the advantageous state controlled from the first special state or the second special state ends. When the variable display is not determined by the determination means to control to the advantageous state, the number of variable display patterns that the variable display pattern determination means can determine in the second special state is less than the number of variable display patterns that can be determined in the first special state and less than the number of variable display patterns that can be determined in the third special state (for example, when the variable display result is a "miss", the number of losing variation patterns that the CPU 103 can determine in "Shortened Time State B" (e.g., 2) is less than the number of variable display patterns that can be determined in "Shortened Time State A" (e.g., 3) and less than the number of losing variation patterns that can be determined in "Probability Change State" (e.g., 4)). When the variable display is not controlled to the advantageous state by the determination means, the average duration of the variable display period of the variable display pattern determined by the variable display pattern determination means in the second special state is shorter than the average duration of the variable display period of the variable display pattern determined in the first special state and shorter than the average duration of the variable display period of the variable display pattern determined in the third special state (for example, when the variable display result is a "miss", the average duration of the variable display time of the losing variation pattern determined by the CPU 103 in "Time-Saving State B" (for example, about 2.2 seconds) is less than the average duration of the variable display time of the losing variation pattern determined in "Time-Saving State A" (for example, about 5.58 seconds) and less than the average duration of the variable display time of the losing variation pattern determined in "Probability Change State" (for example, about 4.83 seconds). See Figure 11-50). It is characterized by the following. According to this feature, in the second special state controlled after a predetermined number of variable displays, considering that a long period of time has passed during which the system is not controlled to a favorable state, the variable displays for which it is not decided to control to a favorable state have fewer types of variable display patterns and a shorter average period of variable display time. As a result, the rate at which the variable displays are consumed is higher than in other states, thus providing a suitable second special state.

[0022] The gaming machine of form 2-2 is the gaming machine described in form 2-1, When the variable display is not determined by the determination means to control it to the advantageous state, the variable display pattern determination means can determine a variable display pattern in the second special state, and when the variable display is not determined by the determination means to control it to the advantageous state, the variable display pattern determination means can determine a variable display pattern in at least one of the first special state and the third special state, and these are common (for example, the losing variable pattern that the CPU 103 can determine in time-saving state B (e.g., no reach, SP reach D) and the losing variable display pattern that can determine in at least one of time-saving state A and probability change state (e.g., no reach, SP reach D) are common parts). It is characterized by the following. This feature allows for reduced development costs and program size by eliminating the need to set variable display patterns that can only be determined by the second special state.

[0023] The gaming machine of form 2-3 is the gaming machine described in form 2-1 or form 2-2, When the variable display is not determined by the determination means to control it to the advantageous state, the variable display pattern determination means can determine a variable display pattern in the second special state, and when the variable display is not determined by the determination means to control it to the advantageous state, the variable display pattern determination means can determine a variable display pattern in both the first special state and the third special state, and these are common (for example, the losing variable pattern that the CPU 103 can determine in time-saving state B (e.g., non-reach, SP reach D) and the losing variable display pattern that can determine in both time-saving state A and probability-changing state (e.g., non-reach, SP reach D) are common parts). It is characterized by the following. This feature allows for reduced development costs and program size by eliminating the need to set variable display patterns that can only be determined by the second special state.

[0024] A gaming machine of form 2-4 is a gaming machine described in any of forms 2-1 to 2-3, The average duration of the control period controlled to the second special state is shorter than the average duration of the control period controlled to the third special state, and the average duration of the control period controlled to the third special state is shorter than the average duration of the control period controlled to the first special state (for example, it is preferable that the average duration of the control period controlled to the time-saving state B is shorter than the average duration of the control period controlled to the probability variation state, and the average duration of the control period controlled to the probability variation state is shorter than the average duration of the control period controlled to the time-saving state A). It is characterized by the following. According to this feature, in the second special state, the average duration of the control period is shorter than in the third special state, which increases the rate at which the variable display is consumed, thus providing a more favorable second special state. In the first special state, the average duration of the control period is longer, which enhances the enjoyment of the game.

[0025] A gaming machine of form 2-5 is a gaming machine described in any of forms 2-1 to 2-4, When the variable display is not determined to be controlled to the advantageous state by the determination means, the number of variable display patterns that the variable display pattern determination means can determine in the second special state is less than the number of variable display patterns that can be determined in the first special state, and the number of variable display patterns that can be determined in the first special state is less than the number of variable display patterns that can be determined in the third special state (for example, the number of losing variation patterns that the CPU 103 can determine in time-saving state B (e.g., 2) is less than the number of losing variation patterns that can be determined in time-saving state A (e.g., 3), and the number of losing variation patterns that can be determined in time-saving state A (e.g., 3) is less than the number of losing variation patterns that can be determined in probability variation state (e.g., 4)).

When the variable display is determined by the determination means to be controlled to the advantageous state, the number of variable display patterns that the variable display pattern determination means can determine in the second special state is less than the number of variable display patterns that can be determined in the first special state (for example, when the variable display result is "jackpot", the number of jackpot variation patterns that the CPU 103 can determine in "time-saving state B" (e.g., 1) is less than the number of variable display patterns that can be determined in "time-saving state A" (e.g., 2), and less than the number of losing variation patterns that can be determined in "probability variation state" (e.g., 3)). When the variable display is determined by the determination means to be controlled to the advantageous state, the average duration of the variable display period of the variable display pattern determined by the variable display pattern determination means in the second special state is shorter than the average duration of the variable display period of the variable display pattern determined in the first special state (for example, when the variable display result is "jackpot", the average duration of the variable display time of the jackpot variation pattern determined by the CPU 103 in "Shortened Time State B" (for example, about 40 seconds) is less than the average duration of the variable display time of the jackpot variation pattern determined in "Shortened Time State A" (for example, about 62.8 seconds), and less than the average duration of the variable display time of the jackpot variation pattern determined in "Probability Variation State" (for example, about 51.1 seconds). See Figure 11-50). It is characterized by the following. According to this feature, in the second special state controlled after a predetermined number of variable displays, considering that a long period of time has passed during which the system has not been controlled to an advantageous state, the development costs can be reduced by having fewer types of variable display patterns in the variable display that is decided to control the system to an advantageous state.

The execution period of the post-event performance part in the first special state and the execution period of the post-event performance part in the second special state are the same (for example, the variable display time (50 seconds, 40 seconds) of the variable display part in the time-saving state A and the probability variation state is different from the variable display time (25 seconds) of the variable display part in the time-saving state B, while the symbol confirmation time (15 seconds) of the post-event performance part in the time-saving state A and the probability variation state is the same from the symbol confirmation time (15 seconds) of the post-event performance part in the time-saving state B.

This feature allows for reduced development costs and program size by eliminating the need to set a second specific variable display pattern that can only be determined by the second special state.

[0060] The gaming machine of form 2-21 is a gaming machine described in any of forms 2-1 to 2-20, In the second special state, the number of pre-announcement performance patterns that the performance execution means can determine is less than the number of pre-announcement performance patterns that the performance execution means can determine in the first special state, and the number of pre-announcement performance patterns that the performance execution means can determine in the first special state is less than the number of pre-announcement performance patterns that the performance execution means can determine in the third special state (for example, the number of types of pre-announcements that the performance control CPU 120 can determine when the variable display result is a miss in "Shortened Time State B" (for example, 0) is less than the number of types of pre-announcements that the performance control CPU 120 can determine when the variable display result is a miss in "Shortened Time State A" (for example, 3), and less than the number of types of pre-announcements that the performance control CPU 120 can determine when the variable display result is a miss in "Probability Fluctuation State" (for example, 4)). It is characterized by the following. According to this feature, in the second special state, the number of selectable pre-announcement animation patterns is reduced to prioritize the consumption of variable displays, while in the third special state, the number of selectable pre-announcement animation patterns is increased to enhance the enjoyment of the game.

[0061] (SG2020-081) The gaming machine of form 1-31 is a gaming machine described in any of forms 1-1 to 1-30, A gaming machine (for example, a pachinko machine 1) that displays a variable status based on whether the starting conditions have been met (for example, when a game ball enters the starting prize slot) and can be controlled to an advantageous state for the player (for example, a jackpot game state), State control means capable of controlling between a non-special state and a special state in which the starting conditions are more likely to be met than in the non-special state (for example, a part in which the CPU 103 can control between a normal state, a time-saving state A in which time-saving control is performed to improve the fluctuation efficiency of special symbols (especially the second special symbol), a probability variation state, and a time-saving state B), Action detection means capable of detecting the player's actions (for example, a CPU 120 for controlling the performance, a push sensor 35B), An effect execution means capable of executing effects including action-promoting effects that encourage player actions (for example, the part in which the effect control CPU 120 can execute a "button notification"), Equipped with, The special state includes a first special state (e.g., time-saving state A) that is controlled when the advantageous state controlled from the non-special state (e.g., normal state) ends, and a second special state (e.g., time-saving state B) that is controlled on the condition that a predetermined number of variable displays (e.g., 900 times) have been performed. The execution rate of the action-promoting effect per variable display in the second special state is lower than the execution rate of the action-promoting effect per variable display in the first special state (for example, the execution rate of the button notification per variable display in "Shortened Time State B" (for example, 10% for a big win, 5% for a miss) is lower than the execution rate of the button notification per variable display in "Shortened Time State A" (for example, 80% for a big win, 20% for a miss), and also lower than the execution rate of the button notification per variable display in "Probability Variation State" (for example, 80% for a big win, 30% for a miss). See Figure 11-50). It is characterized by the following. According to this feature, in the second special state controlled after a predetermined number of variable displays, considering that a long period of time has passed during which the player is not controlled to an advantageous state, the number of times the player is prompted to take action in the first variable display is small, thus providing a suitable second special state.

The proportion in which the second action-promoting performance pattern is executed in the second special state is higher than the proportion in which the second action-promoting performance pattern is executed in the first special state (for example, as performance patterns for "button notification," there is a "one-shot" pattern and "rapid-fire" or "long-press" patterns which have a higher proportion of being controlled to a jackpot game state than when the "one-shot" pattern is executed, and the proportion in which the "one-shot" pattern is executed in time-saving state B (for example, 10%) is lower than the proportion in which the "rapid-fire" or "long-press" patterns are executed in time-saving state A or the probability variation state (for example, 40%), but the proportion in which the "one-shot" pattern is executed in time-saving state B may be higher than the proportion in which the "rapid-fire" or "long-press" patterns are executed in time-saving state A or the probability variation state). It is characterized by the following. According to this characteristic, when an action-enhancing effect is performed in the second special state, it often results in the second action-enhancing effect pattern, thus enhancing the overall enjoyment.

This feature allows for a reduction in development costs by unifying the execution period of the action acceleration sequence between the first and second special states.

[0065] A gaming machine of form 1-35 is a gaming machine described in any of forms 1-1 to 1-34, The aforementioned performance execution means is capable of executing a performance preparation performance before executing the performance acceleration performance, The period during which the action acceleration preparation animation is performed in the first special state and the period during which the action acceleration preparation animation is performed in the second special state are common (for example, if the performance control CPU 120 makes it possible to perform an action acceleration preparation animation before executing a "button notification" (for example, although not particularly shown, an animation in which the push button 31B to be operated is displayed in a fade-in or an animation in which an effect is displayed before the operation validity period begins), it is preferable that the period during which the action acceleration preparation animation is performed in the time-saving state A or the probability variation state and the period during which the action acceleration preparation animation is performed in the time-saving state B are common). It is characterized by the following. This feature allows for a common execution period for the action acceleration preparation sequence between the first and second special states, thereby reducing development costs and enabling appropriate notification of the execution of the action acceleration sequence.

[0066] (SG2020-082) The gaming machine of form 2-22 is a gaming machine described in any of forms 2-1 to 2-21, A gaming machine (for example, a pachinko machine 1) that displays a variable status based on whether the starting conditions have been met (for example, when a game ball enters the starting prize slot) and can be controlled to an advantageous state for the player (for example, a jackpot game state), State control means capable of controlling between a non-special state and a special state in which the starting conditions are more likely to be met than in the non-special state (for example, a part in which the CPU 103 can control between a normal state, a time-saving state A in which time-saving control is performed to improve the fluctuation efficiency of special symbols (especially the second special symbol), a probability variation state, and a time-saving state B), Action detection means capable of detecting the player's actions (for example, a CPU 120 for controlling the performance, a push sensor 35B), An effect execution means capable of executing effects including action-promoting effects that encourage player actions (for example, the part in which the effect control CPU 120 can execute a "button notification"), Equipped with, The special state includes a first special state (e.g., time-saving state A) that is controlled when the advantageous state controlled from the non-special state (e.g., normal state) ends, a second special state (e.g., time-saving state B) that is controlled on the condition that a predetermined number of variable displays (e.g., 900 times) have been performed, and a third special state (e.g., probability-changing state) that is controlled when the advantageous state controlled from the first special state or the second special state ends. The execution rate of the action-promoting effect per variable display in the second special state is lower than the execution rate of the action-promoting effect per variable display in the first special state, and also lower than the execution rate of the action-promoting effect per variable display in the third special state (for example, the execution rate of the button notification per variable display in "Shortened Time State B" (for example, 10% for a big win, 5% for a miss) is lower than the execution rate of the button notification per variable display in "Shortened Time State A" (for example, 80% for a big win, 20% for a miss), and also lower than the execution rate of the button notification per variable display in "Probability Fluctuation State" (for example, 80% for a big win, 30% for a miss). See Figure 11-50). It is characterized by the following. According to this feature, in the second special state controlled after a predetermined number of variable displays, considering that a long period of time has passed during which the player is not controlled to an advantageous state, the number of times the player is prompted to take action in the first variable display is small, thus providing a suitable second special state.

[0067] (SG2020-083) The gaming machine of form 1-36 is a gaming machine described in any of forms 1-1 to 1-35, A gaming machine (for example, a pachinko machine 1) that displays a variable status based on whether the starting conditions have been met (for example, when a game ball enters the starting prize slot) and can be controlled to an advantageous state for the player (for example, a jackpot game state), State control means capable of controlling between a non-special state and a special state in which the starting conditions are more likely to be met than in the non-special state (for example, a part in which the CPU 103 can control between a normal state, a time-saving state A in which time-saving control is performed to improve the fluctuation efficiency of special symbols (especially the second special symbol), a probability variation state, and a time-saving state B), A decision means capable of determining whether to control to the aforementioned advantageous state (for example, the part in which the CPU 103 executes a jackpot determination process in step 069SGS62 of the special symbol normal processing), Action detection means capable of detecting the player's actions (for example, a CPU 120 for controlling the performance, a push sensor 35B), An effect execution means capable of executing an effect that includes an action-promoting effect that encourages the player to take action, and a specific effect that notifies the player that they are controlled to the advantageous state (for example, an effect control CPU 120 capable of executing a "win / fail button effect" and a "movable body effect"), Equipped with, The special state includes a first special state (e.g., time-saving state A) that is controlled when the advantageous state controlled from the non-special state (e.g., normal state) ends, and a second special state (e.g., time-saving state B) that is controlled on the condition that a predetermined number of variable displays (e.g., 900 times) have been performed.

In the second special state, the proportion in which the second performance execution pattern is executed when the decision means determines to control the game to the advantageous state is higher than the proportion in which the second performance execution pattern is executed when the decision means determines to control the game to the advantageous state in the first special state (for example, the proportion in the shortened time state B in which the SP Reach D jackpot variation pattern executes the "instant win performance" by executing the "movable body performance" without executing the "win / loss button performance" (for example, 90%) is higher than the proportion in the shortened time state A in which the SP Reach D jackpot variation pattern executes the "instant win performance" by executing the "movable body performance" without executing the "win / loss button performance" (for example, 0%), and is also higher than the proportion in the probability variation state in which the SP Reach D jackpot variation pattern executes the "instant win performance" or "full rotation performance" by executing the "movable body performance" without executing the "win / loss button performance" (for example, 0%). See Figure 11-69). It is characterized by the following. According to this feature, in the second special state controlled after a predetermined number of variable displays, considering that a long period of time has passed during which the system has not been controlled to an advantageous state, the system will be less likely to prompt the player to take action when it is announced that it has been decided to control the system to an advantageous state, thus providing a suitable second special state.

[0068] (SG2020-084) The gaming machine of form 2-23 is a gaming machine described in any of forms 2-1 to 2-22, A gaming machine (for example, a pachinko machine 1) that displays a variable status based on whether the starting conditions have been met (for example, when a game ball enters the starting prize slot) and can be controlled to an advantageous state for the player (for example, a jackpot game state), State control means capable of controlling between a non-special state and a special state in which the starting conditions are more likely to be met than in the non-special state (for example, a part in which the CPU 103 can control between a normal state, a time-saving state A in which time-saving control is performed to improve the fluctuation efficiency of special symbols (especially the second special symbol), a probability variation state, and a time-saving state B), A decision means capable of determining whether to control to the aforementioned advantageous state (for example, the part in which the CPU 103 executes a jackpot determination process in step 069SGS62 of the special symbol normal processing), Action detection means capable of detecting the player's actions (for example, a CPU 120 for controlling the performance, a push sensor 35B), An effect execution means capable of executing an effect including an action-promoting effect that encourages the player to take action, and a specific effect that notifies the player that they are being controlled to the advantageous state (for example, an effect control CPU 120 capable of executing a "button notification" and a "win / fail button effect"), Equipped with, The special state includes a first special state (e.g., time-saving state A) that is controlled when the advantageous state controlled from the non-special state (e.g., normal state) ends, a second special state (e.g., time-saving state B) that is controlled on the condition that a predetermined number of variable displays (e.g., 900 times) have been performed, and a third special state (e.g., probability-changing state) that is controlled when the advantageous state controlled from the first special state or the second special state ends.

The proportion in which the second performance execution pattern is executed when the decision means determines to control the game to the advantageous state in the second special state is higher than the proportion in which the second performance execution pattern is executed when the decision means determines to control the game to the advantageous state in the first special state, and also higher than the proportion in which the second performance execution pattern is executed when the decision means determines to control the game to the advantageous state in the third special state (for example, the proportion in which the "instant win performance" is executed in the SP Reach D jackpot variation pattern without executing the "win / fail button performance" in the time-saving state B (for example, 90%) is higher than the proportion in the time-saving state A where the "movable body performance" is executed without executing the "win / fail button performance" in the SP Reach D jackpot variation pattern (for example, 0%), and also higher than the proportion in the probability variation state where the "movable body performance" is executed without executing the "win / fail button performance" in the SP Reach D jackpot variation pattern (for example, 0%). See Figure 11-69). It is characterized by the following. According to this feature, in the second special state controlled after a predetermined number of variable displays, considering that a long period of time has passed during which the system has not been controlled to an advantageous state, the system will be less likely to prompt the player to take action when it is announced that it has been decided to control the system to an advantageous state, thus providing a suitable second special state.

[0069] (SG2020-085) The gaming machine of form 1-37 is a gaming machine described in any of forms 1-1 to 1-36, A gaming machine (for example, a pachinko machine 1) that displays a variable status based on whether the starting conditions have been met (for example, when a game ball enters the starting prize slot) and can be controlled to an advantageous state for the player (for example, a jackpot game state), State control means capable of controlling between a non-special state and a special state in which the starting conditions are more likely to be met than in the non-special state (for example, a part in which the CPU 103 can control between a normal state, a time-saving state A in which time-saving control is performed to improve the fluctuation efficiency of special symbols (especially the second special symbol), a probability variation state, and a time-saving state B), Action detection means capable of detecting the player's actions (for example, a CPU 120 for controlling the performance, a push sensor 35B), An effect execution means capable of executing effects including action-promoting effects that encourage player actions (for example, the part in which the effect control CPU 120 can execute a "button notification"), Equipped with, The special state includes a first special state (e.g., time-saving state A) that is controlled when the advantageous state controlled from the non-special state (e.g., normal state) ends, and a second special state (e.g., time-saving state B) that is controlled on the condition that a predetermined number of variable displays (e.g., 900 times) have been performed. The types of action-promoting effects that the aforementioned effect execution means can perform include a first action-promoting effect that prompts the player to perform a single action (for example, an action-promoting display for a "single hit" operation) and a second action-promoting effect that prompts the player to perform an action over a predetermined period of time (for example, an action-promoting display for a "rapid press" or "long press" operation). The aforementioned performance execution means is capable of executing both the first action acceleration performance and the second action acceleration performance in the first special state, and is capable of executing the first action acceleration performance while not executing the second action acceleration performance in the second special state (for example, the performance control CPU 120 is capable of deciding to execute either the "single-shot pattern" or the "rapid-fire pattern, long-press pattern" in the "probability variation state" and "time-saving state A", and is capable of deciding the "single-shot pattern" while not deciding to execute the "rapid-fire pattern, long-press pattern" in "time-saving state B". See Figure 11-50). It is characterized by the following. According to this feature, in the second special state controlled after a predetermined number of variable displays, it is less likely that the player will be prompted to perform cumbersome actions such as operating for a predetermined period of time, taking into account that a long period of time has passed during which the system is not controlled to an advantageous state. Therefore, a suitable second special state can be provided.

[0070] (SG2020-086) The gaming machine of form 2-24 is a gaming machine described in any of forms 2-1 to 2-23, A gaming machine (for example, a pachinko machine 1) that displays a variable status based on whether the starting conditions have been met (for example, when a game ball enters the starting prize slot) and can be controlled to an advantageous state for the player (for example, a jackpot game state), State control means capable of controlling between a non-special state and a special state in which the starting conditions are more likely to be met than in the non-special state (for example, a part in which the CPU 103 can control between a normal state, a time-saving state A in which time-saving control is performed to improve the fluctuation efficiency of special symbols (especially the second special symbol), a probability variation state, and a time-saving state B), Action detection means capable of detecting the player's actions (for example, a CPU 120 for controlling the performance, a push sensor 35B), An effect execution means capable of executing effects including action-promoting effects that encourage player actions (for example, the part in which the effect control CPU 120 can execute a "button notification"), Equipped with, The special state includes a first special state (e.g., time-saving state A) that is controlled when the advantageous state controlled from the non-special state (e.g., normal state) ends, a second special state (e.g., time-saving state B) that is controlled on the condition that a predetermined number of variable displays (e.g., 900 times) have been performed, and a third special state (e.g., probability-changing state) that is controlled when the advantageous state controlled from the first special state or the second special state ends. The types of action-promoting effects that the aforementioned effect execution means can perform include a first action-promoting effect that prompts the player to perform a single action (for example, an action-promoting display for a "single hit" operation) and a second action-promoting effect that prompts the player to perform an action over a predetermined period of time (for example, an action-promoting display for a "rapid press" or "long press" operation). The effect execution means can execute both the first effect for promoting operation and the second effect for promoting operation in the first special state and the third special state, and can execute the first effect for promoting operation in the second special state while not executing the second effect for promoting operation (for example, the effect control CPU 120 can determine whether to execute either the "one-shot pattern" or the "continuous hit pattern and long press pattern" in the "probability variable state" and the "time shortening state A", and in the "time shortening state B", can determine the "one-shot pattern" while not determining the execution of the "continuous hit pattern and long press pattern". Refer to FIG. 11-50). It is characterized by this. According to this feature, in the second special state controlled through variable display for a predetermined number of times, considering that the period not controlled to the advantageous state continues for a long time, it is possible to provide a suitable second special state because it is less likely to prompt the player to perform troublesome operations such as operating over a predetermined operation period.

It is provided with The special state includes a first special state (e.g., short-time state A) that is controlled when the advantageous state controlled from the non-special state (e.g., normal state) ends, and a second special state (e.g., short-time state B) that is controlled on the condition that variable displays have been executed a predetermined number of times (e.g., 900 times). Based on the determination result of the determination means, the effect execution means can execute a plurality of types of suggestion effects including a first suggestion effect (e.g., "vibration (small)") and a second suggestion effect (e.g., "vibration (large)") with a higher ratio of being controlled to the advantageous state than when the first suggestion effect is executed. The execution ratio of the suggestion effect per one variable display in the second special state is lower than the execution ratio of the suggestion effect per one variable display in the first special state (e.g., the execution ratio of "moving body预告" per one variable display in "short-time state B" (e.g., jackpot 0%, loss 0%) is lower than the execution ratio of "moving body预告" per one variable display in "short-time state A" (e.g., jackpot 90%, loss 30%), and is also lower than the execution ratio of "moving body预告" per one variable display in the "certain variable state" (e.g., jackpot 90%, loss 40%). Refer to FIG. 11-50). It is characterized by this. According to this feature, in the second special state controlled after a predetermined number of variable displays, considering that the period not being controlled to the advantageous state continues for a long time, the number of times suggesting being controlled to the advantageous state decreases, so a suitable second special state can be provided.

It is characterized by this. According to this feature, the interest can be improved by making the degree of attention to the suggestion effect different between the first special state and the second special state.

[0073] The gaming machine of Form 1-40 is a gaming machine according to any one of Forms 1-1 to 1-39, When it is a variable display determined to be controlled to the advantageous state by the determination means, the ratio at which the first suggestion effect is executed in the second special state is higher than the ratio at which the first suggestion effect is executed in the first special state when it is a variable display determined to be controlled to the advantageous state by the determination means (for example, when the variable display result is a big win, the ratio at which the "vibration (small)" pattern is executed in the short-time state B (for example, 0%) is lower than the ratio at which the "vibration (small)" pattern is executed in the short-time state A or the probability variable state when the variable display result is a big win (for example, 30%), but the ratio at which the "vibration (small)" pattern is executed in the short-time state B when the variable display result is a big win may be made higher than the ratio at which the "vibration (small)" pattern is executed in the short-time state A or the probability variable state when the variable display result is a big win (for example, 30%)).

It is characterized by the following. This feature means that the movable parts are less likely to be moved unnecessarily in the second special state, thus providing a suitable second special state.

The aforementioned performance execution means can perform the movable body performance and the specific performance as performance execution patterns for the movable body performance and the specific performance that can be performed in the variable display of 1, and the following are included: a first performance execution pattern (e.g., "Pattern A-2, A-3") in which the movable body performance is performed before the performance period of the specific performance and also during the performance period of the specific performance, and a second performance execution pattern (e.g., "Pattern A-1") in which the movable body performance is not performed before the performance period of the specific performance, but is performed during the performance period of the specific performance. The proportion in which the second performance execution pattern is executed when the decision means determines to control the game to the advantageous state in the second special state is higher than the proportion in which the second performance execution pattern is executed when the decision means determines to control the game to the advantageous state in the first special state, and also higher than the proportion in which the second performance execution pattern is executed when the decision means determines to control the game to the advantageous state in the third special state (for example, the proportion in which "Pattern A-1" is executed when the variable display result is a miss in "Time-Saving State B" (for example, 90%) is higher than the proportion in which "Pattern A-1" is executed when the variable display result is a miss in "Time-Saving State A" (for example, 10%), and also higher than the proportion in which "Pattern A-1" is executed when the variable display result is a miss in "Probability Change State" (for example, 20%). See Figure 11-50). It is characterized by the following. According to this feature, in the second special state controlled after a predetermined number of variable displays, if it is decided to control the game to an advantageous state, taking into account that a long period of time has passed during which the game has not been controlled to an advantageous state, the movable parts are less likely to be operated unnecessarily even before a specific performance, thus providing a suitable second special state.

[0085] (SG2020-093) The gaming machine of form 1-49 is a gaming machine described in any of forms 1-1 to 1-48, A gaming machine (for example, a pachinko machine 1) that displays a variable status based on whether the starting conditions have been met (for example, when a game ball enters the starting prize slot) and can be controlled to an advantageous state for the player (for example, a jackpot game state), State control means capable of controlling between a non-special state and a special state in which the starting conditions are more likely to be met than in the non-special state (for example, a part in which the CPU 103 can control between a normal state, a time-saving state A in which time-saving control is performed to improve the fluctuation efficiency of special symbols (especially the second special symbol), a probability variation state, and a time-saving state B), A decision means capable of determining whether to control to the aforementioned advantageous state (for example, the part in which the CPU 103 executes a jackpot determination process in step 069SGS62 of the special symbol normal processing), Based on the determination result of the aforementioned determination means, a variable display pattern determination means capable of determining one variable display pattern from among multiple types of variable display patterns with different variable display periods (for example, the part in which the CPU 103 determines one of multiple types of variable patterns based on the variable display result in the variable pattern setting process of step 069SGS111), An effect execution means capable of executing an effect (for example, the part in which the effect control CPU 120 can execute the "movable body effect" and the "post-effect"), which includes a specific effect that notifies that the variable display is controlled to the advantageous state when it has been determined by the determination means to be controlled to the advantageous state, and a post-effect that is executed after the specific effect and notifies game value information (for example, the planned number of balls to be dispensed) that can identify the magnitude of the game value to be granted in the advantageous state, Equipped with, The special state includes a first special state (e.g., time-saving state A) that is controlled when the advantageous state controlled from the non-special state (e.g., normal state) ends, and a second special state (e.g., time-saving state B) that is controlled on the condition that a predetermined number of variable displays (e.g., 900 times) have been performed. When the variable display is determined by the determination means to be controlled to the advantageous state, the number of variable display patterns that the variable display pattern determination means can determine in the second special state is less than the number of variable display patterns that can be determined in the first special state (for example, when the variable display result is "jackpot", the number of jackpot variation patterns that the CPU 103 can determine in "time-saving state B" (e.g., 1) is less than the number of variable display patterns that can be determined in "time-saving state A" (e.g., 2), and less than the number of losing variation patterns that can be determined in "probability variation state" (e.g., 3)). When the variable display is determined by the determination means to be controlled to the advantageous state, the average duration of the variable display period of the variable display pattern determined by the variable display pattern determination means in the second special state is shorter than the average duration of the variable display period of the variable display pattern determined in the first special state (for example, when the variable display result is "jackpot", the average duration of the variable display time of the jackpot variation pattern determined by the CPU 103 in "Shortened Time State B" (for example, about 40 seconds) is less than the average duration of the variable display time of the jackpot variation pattern determined in "Shortened Time State A" (for example, about 62.8 seconds), and less than the average duration of the variable display time of the jackpot variation pattern determined in "Probability Variation State" (for example, about 51.1 seconds). See Figure 11-50). The presentation method of the aforementioned post-event performance is the same whether the post-event performance is performed in the first special state or in the second special state (for example, the presentation method of the "post-event performance" that notifies the number of balls to be awarded in the jackpot game state, which is notified in the SP reach performance that the game state will be controlled to a jackpot game state, is the same as the "Shortened Time State B", "Probability Change State", and "Shortened Time State A" as shown in Figure 11-60. See Figure 11-50). It is characterized by the following. According to this feature, in the second special state controlled after a predetermined number of variable displays, considering that a long period of time has passed during which the player is not controlled to a favorable state, the variable displays that are decided to be controlled to a favorable state have fewer types of variable display patterns and a shorter average duration of variable display periods, which increases the rate at which the variable displays are consumed. Furthermore, after it is announced that the player will be controlled to a favorable state, the game can be enhanced with the same effects as the first special state, thus providing a suitable second special state.

This feature allows for a reduction in development costs by standardizing the vibration patterns that are executed in conjunction with the post-event effects between the first and second special states.

[0089] (SG2020-094) The gaming machine of form 2-28 is a gaming machine described in any of forms 2-1 to 2-27, A gaming machine (for example, a pachinko machine 1) that displays a variable status based on whether the starting conditions have been met (for example, when a game ball enters the starting prize slot) and can be controlled to an advantageous state for the player (for example, a jackpot game state), State control means capable of controlling between a non-special state and a special state in which the starting conditions are more likely to be met than in the non-special state (for example, a part in which the CPU 103 can control between a normal state, a time-saving state A in which time-saving control is performed to improve the fluctuation efficiency of special symbols (especially the second special symbol), a probability variation state, and a time-saving state B), A decision means capable of determining whether to control to the aforementioned advantageous state (for example, the part in which the CPU 103 executes a jackpot determination process in step 069SGS62 of the special symbol normal processing), Based on the determination result of the aforementioned determination means, a variable display pattern determination means capable of determining one variable display pattern from among multiple types of variable display patterns with different variable display periods (for example, the part in which the CPU 103 determines one of multiple types of variable patterns based on the variable display result in the variable pattern setting process of step 069SGS111), An effect execution means capable of executing an effect (for example, the part in which the effect control CPU 120 can execute the "movable body effect" and the "post-effect"), which includes a specific effect that notifies that the variable display is controlled to the advantageous state when it has been determined by the determination means to be controlled to the advantageous state, and a post-effect that is executed after the specific effect and notifies game value information (for example, the planned number of balls to be dispensed) that can identify the magnitude of the game value to be granted in the advantageous state, Equipped with, The special state includes a first special state (e.g., time-saving state A) that is controlled when the advantageous state controlled from the non-special state (e.g., normal state) ends, a second special state (e.g., time-saving state B) that is controlled on the condition that a predetermined number of variable displays (e.g., 900 times) have been performed, and a third special state (e.g., probability-changing state) that is controlled when the advantageous state controlled from the first special state or the second special state ends. When the variable display is determined by the determination means to be controlled to the advantageous state, the number of variable display patterns that the variable display pattern determination means can determine in the second special state is less than the number of variable display patterns that can be determined in the first special state and less than the number of variable display patterns that can be determined in the third special state (for example, when the variable display result is "jackpot", the number of jackpot variation patterns that the CPU 103 can determine in "time-saving state B" (e.g., 1) is less than the number of variable display patterns that can be determined in "time-saving state A" (e.g., 2) and less than the number of losing variation patterns that can be determined in "probability variation state" (e.g., 3)). When the variable display is determined by the determination means to be controlled to the advantageous state, the average duration of the variable display period of the variable display pattern determined by the variable display pattern determination means in the second special state is shorter than the average duration of the variable display period of the variable display pattern determined in the first special state, and also shorter than the average duration of the variable display period of the variable display pattern determined in the third special state (for example, when the variable display result is "jackpot", the average duration of the variable display time of the jackpot variation pattern determined by the CPU 103 in "Shortened Time State B" (for example, about 40 seconds) is less than the average duration of the variable display time of the jackpot variation pattern determined in "Shortened Time State A" (for example, about 62.8 seconds), and also less than the average duration of the variable display time of the jackpot variation pattern determined in "Probability Variation State" (for example, about 51.1 seconds). See Figure 11-50). The presentation method of the aforementioned post-event performance is common to the cases in which the post-event performance is performed in the first special state, the second special state, and the third special state (for example, the presentation method of the "post-event performance" that notifies the number of balls to be awarded in the jackpot game state, which is notified by the SP reach performance that the game state will be controlled to a jackpot game state, is common to "Shortened Time State B", "Probability Change State", and "Shortened Time State A", as shown in Figure 11-60. See Figure 11-50). It is characterized by the following. According to this feature, in the second special state controlled after a predetermined number of variable displays, considering that a long period of time has passed during which the player is not controlled to an advantageous state, the variable displays that are decided to be controlled to an advantageous state have fewer types of variable display patterns and a shorter average duration of variable display periods, thereby increasing the rate at which the variable displays are consumed. Furthermore, after it is announced that the player will be controlled to an advantageous state, the game can be enhanced with the same effects used in both the first and third special states, thus providing a suitable second special state.

[0090] (SG2020-095) The gaming machine of form 1-53 is a gaming machine described in any of forms 1-1 to 1-52, A game machine (e.g., a pachinko game machine 1) that can control the game to a favorable state for the player (e.g., a jackpot game state) by performing variable display of first identification information (e.g., first special symbol) based on the fulfillment of a first starting condition (e.g., a game ball entering the first starting prize slot), and by performing variable display of second identification information (e.g., second special symbol) based on the fulfillment of a second starting condition (e.g., a game ball entering the second starting prize slot), State control means capable of controlling between a non-special state and a special state in which the second starting condition is more likely to be met than in the non-special state (for example, a part in which the CPU 103 can control between a normal state, a time-saving state A in which time-saving control is performed to improve the fluctuation efficiency of special symbols (especially the second special symbol), a probability variation state, and a time-saving state B), A first reserved storage means capable of storing information regarding the variable display of the first identification information as reserved storage (for example, the part in which the CPU 103 executes the start prize determination process in step S101 of the special symbol process processing), A second reserved storage means capable of storing information regarding the variable display of the second identification information as reserved storage (for example, the part in which the CPU 103 executes the start prize determination process in step S101 of the special symbol process processing), A decision means capable of determining whether to control to the aforementioned advantageous state (for example, the part in which the CPU 103 executes a jackpot determination process in step 069SGS62 of the special symbol normal processing), Based on the determination result of the aforementioned determination means, a variable display pattern determination means capable of determining one variable display pattern from among multiple types of variable display patterns with different variable display periods (for example, the part in which the CPU 103 determines one of multiple types of variable patterns based on the variable display result in the variable pattern setting process of step 069SGS111), Equipped with, The special state includes a first special state (e.g., time-saving state A) that is controlled when the advantageous state controlled from the non-special state (e.g., normal state) ends, and a second special state (e.g., time-saving state B) that is controlled on the condition that a predetermined number of variable displays (e.g., 900 times) have been performed. The variable display pattern determination means is In the first special state, if no hold memory is stored in the second hold memory means and the determination means does not decide to control to the advantageous state, a predetermined variable display pattern (e.g., "not reach") for a predetermined variable display period can be determined for which the hold memory can be stored in the second hold memory means. In the second special state, if no hold memory is stored in the second hold memory means, and the determination means does not decide to control it to the advantageous state, a special variable display pattern with a special variable display time shorter than the predetermined variable display period can be determined (for example, when the number of hold memories is 0 in the probability variation state or time-saving state A, the CPU 103 can determine a losing variation pattern with a long variable display time to gain time to store hold memories in the second hold memory (for example, a non-reach A with a variation time of 7 seconds, or an SP reach variation with a variation time of 25 or 40 seconds), while when the number of hold memories is 0 in time-saving state B, the CPU 103 can determine a shortened non-reach variation pattern with a shorter variable display time than a losing variation pattern with a long variable display time (for example, a non-reach A with a variation time of 7 seconds, or an SP reach variation with a variation time of 25 or 40 seconds) (for example, an ultra-shortened non-reach with a variation time of 1.5 seconds, or a shortened non-reach A with a variation time of 3 seconds). See Figure 11-69. It is characterized by the following. According to this feature, in the second special state controlled after a predetermined number of variable displays, even if no hold memory is stored, a predetermined variable display pattern with a long variable display period is determined, taking into account that a long period of time has passed during which the state has not been controlled to an advantageous state. This prevents a decrease in the rate of consumption of the variable displays, thus providing a suitable second special state.

The variable display pattern determination means is In the first special state or the third special state, if no hold memory is stored in the second hold memory means and the determination means does not decide to control to the advantageous state, a predetermined variable display pattern (e.g., "not reach") for a predetermined variable display period can be determined for which the hold memory can be stored in the second hold memory means. In the second special state, if no hold memory is stored in the second hold memory means, and the determination means does not decide to control it to the advantageous state, a special variable display pattern with a special variable display time shorter than the predetermined variable display period can be determined (for example, when the number of hold memories is 0 in the probability variation state or time-saving state A, the CPU 103 can determine a losing variation pattern with a long variable display time to gain time to store hold memories in the second hold memory (for example, a non-reach A with a variation time of 7 seconds, or an SP reach variation with a variation time of 25 or 40 seconds), while when the number of hold memories is 0 in time-saving state B, the CPU 103 can determine a shortened non-reach variation pattern with a shorter variable display time than a losing variation pattern with a long variable display time (for example, a non-reach A with a variation time of 7 seconds, or an SP reach variation with a variation time of 25 or 40 seconds) (for example, an ultra-shortened non-reach with a variation time of 1.5 seconds, or a shortened non-reach A with a variation time of 3 seconds). See Figure 11-69. It is characterized by the following. According to this feature, in the second special state controlled after a predetermined number of variable displays, even if no hold memory is stored, a predetermined variable display pattern with a long variable display period is determined, taking into account that a long period of time has passed during which the state has not been controlled to an advantageous state. This prevents a decrease in the rate of consumption of the variable displays, thus providing a suitable second special state.

The proportion in which the special decorative variable display is executed when the determination means decides to control the game to the second advantageous state in the second special state is higher than the proportion in which the special decorative variable display is executed when the determination means decides to control the game to the second advantageous state in the first special state (for example, the proportion in which the performance control CPU 120 executes the "full rotation performance" when "Big Win C (10R)" is determined as the type of big win in time-saving state B (for example, 100%) is higher than the proportion in which the performance control CPU 120 executes "SP Reach D (Full Rotation)" when "Big Win C (10R)" is determined as the type of big win in time-saving state A (for example, 0% (not executed)), and is also higher than the proportion in which the performance control CPU 120 executes "SP Reach D (Full Rotation)" when "Big Win C (10R)" is determined as the type of big win in probability variation state (for example, 0% (not executed)).

The aforementioned advantageous state includes a first advantageous state (for example, jackpot A (6R), jackpot B (6R)) and a second advantageous state (for example, jackpot C (10R)) which is more advantageous to the player than the first advantageous state. The variable decorative display means is capable of performing a special variable decorative display (for example, SP Reach D (full rotation)) in which, when the determination means determines that the system should be controlled to the advantageous state, the system displays a specific display result, which is shown as the result of the variable display of the decorative identification information that the determination means has determined to be controlled to the advantageous state, for a predetermined period of time, and then stops displaying it. The proportion in which the special decorative variable display is executed when the determination means decides to control the second advantageous state in the second special state is higher than the proportion in which the special decorative variable display is executed when the determination means decides to control the second advantageous state in the first special state, and also higher than the proportion in which the special decorative variable display is executed when the determination means decides to control the second advantageous state in the third special state (for example, when the type of jackpot is "jackpot C (10R)" in time-saving state B) The percentage of times the CPU 120 for performance control executes the "Full Rotation Performance" when it has been determined (for example, 100%) is higher than the percentage of times the CPU 120 for performance control executes "SP Reach D (Full Rotation)" when "Big Win C (10R)" is determined as the type of big win in time-saving state A (for example, 0% (not executed)), and also higher than the percentage of times the CPU 120 for performance control executes "SP Reach D (Full Rotation)" when "Big Win C (10R)" is determined as the type of big win in probability variation state (for example, 0% (not executed)). See Figure 11-69. It is characterized by the following. According to this feature, in the second special state controlled after a predetermined number of variable displays, if it is decided to control to a second advantageous state with a higher degree of advantage, taking into consideration that a long period of time has passed during which the system has not been controlled to an advantageous state, a special variable display is more likely to be executed, thereby providing a suitable second special state.

[0097] (Feature section 099SG form) (SG2020-099) The gaming machine of form 1 of feature section 099SG is, A gaming machine (for example, a pachinko machine 1) that displays a variable status based on whether the starting conditions are met (for example, when a game ball enters the starting prize slot) and can be controlled to an advantageous state for the player (for example, a jackpot game state), The system includes a state control means (for example, the part in which the CPU 103 executes the special symbol process processing shown in Figure 6) that can control between a non-special state (for example, the normal state) and a special state (for example, a time-saving state A, a time-saving state B, a probability change state) in which the starting conditions are more likely to be met than in the non-special state. The special state includes a first special state (e.g., time-saving state A) that is controlled when the advantageous state controlled from the non-special state ends, and a second special state (e.g., time-saving state B) that is controlled on the condition that a predetermined number of variable displays (e.g., 900 times) have been performed. The termination condition for the first special state includes the execution of a first variable display (for example, 110 times) in the first special state. The termination condition for the second special state includes the execution of a second variable display (e.g., 1100 times) that is greater than the first number of times in the second special state. The period value obtained by multiplying the average variable display period for a variable display of 1 that is not controlled by the favorable state and is performed in the second special state by the first count is smaller than the period value obtained by multiplying the average variable display period for a variable display of 1 that is not controlled by the favorable state and is performed in the first special state by the first count (for example, as shown in Figure 12-30, the period value ψ obtained by multiplying the period value β, which is the average variation time of 1 in time-saving state B, by 110 is smaller than the period value χ obtained by multiplying the period value α, which is the average variation time of 1 in time-saving state A, by 110).

The aforementioned light emission control means is During the first period, the light-emitting means is controlled using a background display brightness data table corresponding to the background display. During the second period, the light-emitting means is controlled using the demonstration display brightness data table corresponding to the demonstration display. When the start condition is met while the demonstration display is displayed by the display means, the light-emitting means is controlled by switching from the demonstration display brightness data table to the brightness data table corresponding to the variable display of the performance identification information, before the display means switches from the demonstration display to the display corresponding to the variable display of the performance identification information. If a specific error occurs, the light-emitting means can be controlled using the specific error brightness data table. When the aforementioned specific error occurs, it is possible to start controlling the light-emitting means using the specific error brightness data table before the display means displays a display corresponding to the specific error. The total number of luminance data points constituting the demonstration display luminance data table is greater than the total number of luminance data points constituting the background display luminance data table used in game state 1. The luminance data constituting the demonstration display luminance data table and the luminance data constituting the specific error luminance data table have different proportions of colors. A gaming machine characterized by the following features.
