Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a gaming machine that performs variable display and can be controlled to an advantageous state favorable to a player.

Background Art

[0002] In pachinko gaming machines and the like as gaming machines, for example, after a normal jackpot occurs, the machine is controlled to a normal game state, the probability of determining to win a jackpot is set to about 1 / 300, and when no jackpot occurs even after the number of executed special symbol games reaches 1000 times, the game state is controlled to a ceiling variable probability state, and the probability of determining to win a jackpot is increased to about 1 / 100. It is also disclosed that when no jackpot occurs in 1000 games in the normal game state, a time-saving state may be generated instead of the ceiling variable probability state (see, for example, Patent Document 1). Further, some pachinko gaming machines perform variable display of a plurality of types of decorative identification information (decorative symbols) in correspondence with variable display of specific identification information (special symbols) (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

[Mode for Carrying Out the Invention]

[0009] The mode for carrying out the gaming machine according to the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

[0010] (Feature Unit 069SG Mode) The gaming machine of Mode 1-1 (SG2020-069) is A gaming machine (for example, pachinko gaming machine 1) that performs variable display based on the establishment of a start condition (for example, a game ball entering a start winning port) and can be controlled to an advantageous state advantageous to the player (for example, a jackpot gaming state or the like), the gaming machine comprising State control means (for example, a part where CPU 103 can control a normal state, a time-saving state A that executes time-saving control for improving the variation efficiency of special symbols (particularly the second special symbol), a probability-varying state, and a time-saving state B) that can control a non-special state and a special state in which the start condition is more likely to be established than in the non-special state Determination means (for example, a part where CPU 103 executes a jackpot determination process in step 069SGS62 in the special symbol normal process) that can determine to control to the advantageous state 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, in consideration of the fact that the period during which control is not performed to the advantageous state has continued for a long time, for variable displays for which control to the advantageous state is not determined, the number of types of variable display patterns is small and the average period of the variable display period is shortened, so that the consumption speed of variable displays is higher than in other states, thereby making it possible to provide a suitable second special state.

[0011] The gaming machine of Embodiment 1-2 is the gaming machine described in Embodiment 1-1, wherein Variable display of a plurality of columns of decorative identification information (for example, decorative symbols displayed in decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5R, and 5C) can be performed, The start order of variable display of the decorative identification information in each column is common between the case where a non-specific display result is displayed without the variable display mode of the decorative identification information becoming a specific mode in a variable display for which control to the advantageous state is not determined by the determination unit in the first special state, and the case where a non-specific display result is displayed without the variable display mode of the decorative identification information becoming a specific mode in a variable display for which control to the advantageous state is not determined by the determination unit in the second special state, The time required for the variable display speed of the decorative identification information in each column that has started variable display to reach the maximum speed differs between the case where a non-specific display result is displayed without the variable display mode of the decorative identification information becoming a specific mode in a variable display for which control to the advantageous state is not determined by the determination unit in the first special state, and the case where a non-specific display result is displayed without the variable display mode of the decorative identification information becoming a specific mode in a variable display for which control to the advantageous state is not determined by the determination unit in the second special state (for example, the start order of variable display of the decorative symbols in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5R, and 5C is common between the case of a non-ready-to-win loss variation pattern in the probability variation state and time-saving state A, and the case of a non-ready-to-win loss variation pattern in time-saving state B, but the time required for the decorative symbols in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5R, and 5C to reach the maximum speed is shorter in time-saving state B than in the probability variation state and time-saving state A (tb1 to tb2 < ta1 to ta3). See FIG. 11-51), It is characterized by the following. This feature allows for a different impression to be created for each state, enhancing interest, as the variable display start order of the decorative identification information for each column is the same in the first special state and the second special state, but the time it takes to reach the maximum speed differs.

[0012] A gaming machine of form 1-3 is a gaming machine described in form 1-1 or form 1-2, 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 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 and second special states, 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 it to 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 it to 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)). It is characterized by the following. According to this feature, in the second special state, the number of selectable variable display patterns is reduced to prioritize the consumption of the variable display, while in the third special state, the number of selectable variable display patterns is increased to enhance the enjoyment of the game.

[0026] (SG2020-071) A gaming machine of form 1-12 is a gaming machine described in any of forms 1-1 to 1-11, 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 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. Furthermore, since the system is controlled to an advantageous state without being unnecessarily stimulated, a suitable second special state can be provided.

[0027] A gaming machine of form 1-13 is a gaming machine described in any of forms 1-1 to 1-12, The variable display that is determined to be controlled to the advantageous state by the determination means includes a variable display part that performs a variable display of identification information, and a post-performance part that notifies game value information that can identify the amount of game value granted in the advantageous state after the completion of the variable display part, The execution period of the variable display part in the first special state and the execution period of the variable display part in the second special state are different. 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. See Figure 11-61). It is characterized by the following. This feature allows for a reduction in development costs by unifying the execution period of post-event effects in variable displays that are controlled to be advantageous in both the first and second special states.

[0028] A gaming machine of form 1-14 is a gaming machine described in any of forms 1-1 to 1-13, It is possible to display identification information in a variable manner. The variable display that is determined to be controlled to the advantageous state by the determination means includes a variable display part that performs a variable display of identification information, and a post-performance part that notifies game value information that can identify the amount of game value granted in the advantageous state after the completion of the variable display part, The variable display includes a display means capable of performing a specific operation display to specify the identification information when the identification information is stopped displaying during the execution period of the variable display part in the variable display which has been determined to be controlled to the advantageous state by the determination means, The execution period of the variable display part in the first special state and the execution period of the variable display part in the second special state are different. The execution period of the specific operation display in the first special state and the execution period of the specific operation display in the second special state are common (for example, the variable display time (50 seconds, 40 seconds) of the variable display part of the time-saving state A and the probability variation state are different from the variable display time (25 seconds) of the variable display part of the time-saving state B, while the display time (ta3~ta4) of the jackpot specific operation display in the time-saving state A and the probability variation state and the display time (ta3~ta4) of the jackpot specific operation display in the time-saving state B are common. See Figure 11-61). It is characterized by the following.

[0030] (SG2020-072) The gaming machine of form 2-6 is a gaming machine described in any of forms 2-1 to 2-5, 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 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 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 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.

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.

[0053] (SG2020-079) The gaming machine of form 1-27 is a gaming machine described in any of forms 1-1 to 1-26, A gaming machine (e.g., a pachinko machine 1) that can control the game to a favorable state for the player (e.g., a jackpot state) by displaying variable identification information (e.g., decorative patterns) based on the fulfillment of starting conditions (e.g., when a game ball enters the starting prize slot), 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 reserved storage means capable of storing information regarding the variable display of 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), Information transmission means (e.g., CPU 103) capable of transmitting information related to the game (e.g., performance control commands), An effect execution means (for example, a part in which the effect control CPU 120 can execute a pre-announcement effect) that, based on the information received from the information transmission means, suggests that the reserved memory stored in the reserved memory means will be controlled to the advantageous state, and 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 aforementioned performance execution means can determine one pre-announcement performance pattern from among multiple types of pre-announcement performance patterns (for example, "countdown announcement," "hold change announcement," "symbol chance announcement," "effect display announcement"), When the variable display is not determined by the determination means to control it to the advantageous state, the number of pre-announcement performance patterns that the performance execution means can determine in the second special state is less than the number of pre-announcement performance patterns that can be determined in the first 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)). In the second special state, the proportion of times the pre-announcement effect is executed when the variable display is not determined by the determination means to control it to the advantageous state is lower than the proportion of times the pre-announcement effect is executed when the variable display is not determined by the determination means to control it to the advantageous state in the first special state (for example, the proportion of pre-announcement executions when the variable display result is a miss in "Shortened Time State B" (e.g., 0%) is lower than the proportion of pre-announcement executions when the variable display result is a miss in "Shortened Time State A" (e.g., 30%), and also lower than the proportion of pre-announcement executions when the variable display result is a miss in "Probability Fluctuation State" (e.g., 40%). 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 there is a long period during which the system is not controlled to an advantageous state, development costs can be reduced by having fewer pre-announcement animation patterns in the variable displays where it is not decided to control the system to an advantageous state, and since the player is less likely to be unnecessarily excited by the pre-announcement animations, a suitable second special state can be provided.

The rate at which the first pre-read notification performance pattern is executed in the second special state is lower than the rate at which the first pre-read notification performance pattern is executed in the first special state (for example, as pre-read notification performance patterns that can be commonly executed by the performance control CPU 120 in the time-saving state A, the time-saving state B, and the probability-varying state, there are a first pre-read notification performance pattern (for example, the "blue" pattern of "retention change notification", "symbol chance pattern notification", "effect display notification"), and a second pre-read notification performance pattern with a higher rate of being controlled to the advantageous state than when the first pre-read notification performance pattern is executed (for example, the "red" pattern of "retention change notification", "symbol chance pattern notification", "effect display notification"), and the rate at which the first pre-read notification performance pattern is executed in the time-saving state B (for example, 0%, see FIG. 11-43(D)) is lower than the rate at which the first pre-read notification performance pattern is executed in the time-saving state A and the probability-varying state (for example, 10%, see FIG. 11-43(C)), which is characterized in that. According to this feature, in the second special state, the player is less likely to be unnecessarily provoked by the first pre-read notification performance, so a suitable second special state can be provided.

According to this feature, since the second pre-read notification performance is easily executed in the second special state, a preferable second special state can be provided.

[0056] The gaming machine of Embodiment 1-30 is the gaming machine according to any one of Embodiments 1-1 to 1-29, wherein The pre-read notification performance pattern executable by the performance execution means in the first special state and the pre-read notification performance pattern executable by the performance execution means in the second special state are common (for example, the pre-read notification performance pattern executable by the performance control CPU 120 in the time-saving state A and the probability-varying state and the pre-read notification performance pattern executable by the performance control CPU 120 in the time-saving state B are common (for example, "symbol chance line notification")), This is a feature of the configuration. According to this feature, by not setting a pre-read notification performance pattern that can be determined only in the second special state, development costs can be reduced and the program capacity can be decreased.

The aforementioned performance execution means can determine one pre-announcement performance pattern from among multiple types of pre-announcement performance patterns (for example, "countdown announcement," "hold change announcement," "symbol chance announcement," "effect display announcement"), When the variable display is not determined to be controlled to the advantageous state by the determination means, the number of pre-announcement performance patterns that the performance execution means can determine in the second special state is less than the number of pre-announcement performance patterns that can be determined in the first special state and less than the number of pre-announcement performance patterns that can be determined 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)).

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, in consideration of the fact that the period during which control is not performed to the advantageous state has continued for a long time, in variable displays where control to the advantageous state is not determined, the small number of pre-read notice effect patterns can suppress development costs, and the player is less likely to be unnecessarily agitated by the pre-read notice effects, thereby making it possible to provide a suitable second special state.

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.

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).

The execution ratio of the suggestive performance per one variable display in the second special state is lower than the execution ratio of the suggestive performance per one variable display in the first special state, and is lower than the execution ratio of the suggestive performance per one variable display in the third special state (for example, the execution ratio of "character announcement" per one variable display in "time-saving state B" (for example, 10% for a big win, 5% for a loss) is lower than the execution ratio of "character announcement" per one variable display in "time-saving state A" (for example, 80% for a big win, 20% for a loss), and is lower than the execution ratio of "character announcement" per one variable display in "probability-varying state" (for example, 80% for a big win, 30% for a loss). In addition, the part where the execution ratio of "ready-to-win announcement" per one variable display in "time-saving state B" (for example, 20%) is lower than the execution ratio of "ready-to-win announcement" per one variable display in "time-saving state A" (for example, 40%), and is lower than the execution ratio of "ready-to-win announcement" per one variable display in "probability-varying state" (for example, 50%). See Fig. 11-50), This is a feature of the present invention. According to this feature, in the second special state controlled after a predetermined number of variable displays, the number of times the player is teased as to whether or not the specific display will be presented is reduced in consideration of the fact that the period during which control is not performed to the advantageous state has continued for a long time, so that a preferable second special state can be provided.

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.

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.

The aforementioned second post-event performance can be performed in two cases: when controlled to a second advantageous state, and when controlled to a second special advantageous state which has a higher degree of advantage than the second advantageous state. The third post-event performance can be performed in two cases: when controlled to a third advantageous state, and when controlled to a third special advantageous state which has a higher degree of advantage than the third advantageous state. When the first post-event performance is executed when controlled to the first special advantageous state, it is possible to make the light-emitting element emit light using a specific light emission pattern that is the same as when the second post-event performance is executed when controlled to the second special advantageous state. When the third post-event performance is executed when controlled to the third specially advantageous state, it is possible to make the light-emitting element emit light using a light-emitting pattern different from the specific light-emitting pattern. In the first operation and performance described above, it is possible to make the light-emitting element emit light using a light-emitting pattern common to that of the second operation and performance described above. The proportion of the advantageous state that is controlled to the most advantageous state among the aforementioned multiple advantageous states differs depending on whether the first specific performance, the second specific performance, or the third specific performance is executed.
