Nine stop switches 7LU, 7CU, 7RU for stopping the rotation of the nine reels 3LU, 3CU... 3CB, 3RB at the center of the front surface of the pedestal 10 and below the liquid crystal display device 5, respectively. 7LM, 7CM, 7RM, 7LB, 7CB, 7RB (hereinafter referred to as 7LU, 7CU,..., 7CB, 7RB) are arranged in three rows.

However, in the gaming machine according to the embodiment of the present invention, it is not known which of the nine reels 3LU, 3CU... 3CB, 3RB is the main reel when the start lever 6 is operated. Of the rotating reels 3LU, 3CU... 3CB, 3RB, when the stop switch 7LU, 7CU,... 7CB, 7RB is operated, only three are stopped at the operation timing. The finished reel becomes the main reel. The other reels are stopped after a predetermined time has elapsed after the three reels that have become main reels have stopped.

Whether or not a prize is won is determined by a combination of symbols of three main reels stopped at the timing when the stop switches 7LU, 7CU... 7CB, 7RB are operated.

Each reel 3LU, 3CU... 3CB, 3RB has 21 symbols of a plurality of types arranged to form a symbol row. Each symbol is assigned a code number of “00” to “20”. The data table is stored in a ROM 32 which will be described later. On each reel 3LU, 3CU... 3CB, 3RB, for example, “Blue 7”, “Red 7”, “BAR”, “Bell”, “Plum”, “Replay” and “Cherry” symbols The symbol sequence comprised of is represented.

The ROM 42 stores a plurality of types of probability lottery tables used for determining the internal winning combination. The internal winning probability lottery table differs depending on the gaming state, but in any case, for example, a predetermined random number range selected from the range of 0 to 16383 is associated with the winning combination. Yes. When determining the internal winning combination, the internal winning combination is determined using one numerical value (random number) extracted by the internal lottery. In the internal winning probability lottery table, the internal winning probability is set to 55/16384 for BB, 28/16384 for RB, 2245/16384 for replay, 63/16384 for cherry, etc. in the general gaming state. .

Then, after starting rotation, the arrangement of the symbols of the three reels determined as the main reel is, for example, “blue 7-blue 7-blue 7” or “red 7-red 7-red 7”. At that time, BB winning is established, 15 medals are paid out, and the gaming state of the next game becomes the “BB gaming state”.

The method for determining the main reel will be described in detail later, but the symbol to be judged whether or not the main reel has been stopped is determined by only one symbol displayed in the center. is there. In a normal slot game machine, a plurality of winning lines are configured for symbols above and below the central symbol, but in the present invention, there is only one winning line. This is because the reels 3LU, 3CU... 3CB, 3RB have small diameters, so it is difficult to see the symbols above and below the center symbol, and the arrangement of the stopped main reels may not line up in the vertical and horizontal lines. This is because it is difficult to determine whether or not it is.

FIGS. 5A to 5H are explanatory views showing which of the nine reels 3LU, 3CU... 3CB, 3RB is the main reel.
As shown in FIGS. 5A to 5C, the arrangement of the three reels arranged side by side (3LU-3CU-3RU, 3LM-3CM-3RM, 3LB-3CB-3RB), FIGS. As shown in FIG. 5 (g) to (h), as shown in FIG. 5 (f), the arrangement of three reels arranged vertically (3LU-3LM-3LB, 3CU-3CM-3CB, 3RU-3RM-3RB). In addition, the arrangement of three diagonal reels (3LU-3CM-3RB, 3LB-3CM-3RU) is the main reel arrangement. Therefore, at the timing when the stop switches 7LU, 7CU... 7CB, 7RB are operated, only the above eight sets are arranged to stop the rotation and become the main reel.

Regarding the three reels stopped as the main reel, as shown in FIGS. 5A to 5C and FIGS. 5G to 5H, the arrangement of the main reels is the leftmost column among the three columns. When it can be recognized that the middle row, the right row, and the arrangement from the left to the right, the arrangement follows that, but as shown in FIGS. 5 (d) to (f), the reels are vertically arranged in one row. Are located on the top leftmost, the lower reel is considered the second from the left, and the bottom reel is considered the rightmost.

Therefore, for example, when the main reel is stopped in the arrangement shown in FIG. 5D, if the combination of the symbols of the reel of “3LU-3LM-3LB” is “blue 7-blue 7-blue 7”, BB winning is established.

The “RB gaming state” indicates that the combination of symbols on the winning line is, for example, “BAR-BAR-BAR” in the “general gaming state”, or on the winning line in the “BB general gaming state”. Occurs when, for example, the combination of symbols is “Replay-Replay-Replay” (so-called “JAC IN”), and 15 medals are paid out. In some cases, RBs starting from “general gaming state” are distinguished from normal RBs, and RBs starting from “BB general gaming state” are distinguished from RBs in BB.

The “RB gaming state” is a gaming state in which a predetermined symbol combination, for example, “Replay-Replay-Replay” is arranged by betting one medal and it is easy to hit an object that can obtain 15 medals. The maximum number of games that can be played in one “RB gaming state” (referred to as “RB game possible number”) is, for example, 12 times. Also, in this RB gaming state, the number of times that a prize can be won (this is referred to as the “number of times an RB game can be awarded”) is, for example, up to eight. That is, this “RB gaming state” is ended when, for example, the number of games reaches 12 or the number of winnings reaches 8. Then, when the RB gaming state ends, the game state transitions to the general gaming state.

One BB ends when 30 games are played in the BB general gaming state, or when the RB gaming state is entered three times and the third RB ends. Then, when the BB gaming state ends, the game state transitions to the general gaming state.

In the general gaming state, when the combination of symbols on the winning line is “Replay-Replay-Replay”, a re-game winning is established. When a re-game winning is established, the same number of medals as the number of inserted medals are automatically inserted, so that the player can play the game without consuming the medals.

3 is based on a main control circuit 81 for controlling the game processing operation in the gaming machine 1, a peripheral device (actuator) electrically connected to the main control circuit 81, and a control command transmitted from the main control circuit 81. It is a block diagram which shows the circuit structure etc. containing the liquid crystal display device 5 and the sub-control circuit 82 which controls the speakers 21L and 21R.

The main control circuit 81 includes a microcomputer 40 arranged on a circuit board as a main component, and is added with a circuit for random number sampling. The microcomputer 40 includes a CPU 41 that performs a control operation according to a preset program, and a ROM 42 and a RAM 43 that are storage means.

Connected to the CPU 41 are a clock pulse generation circuit 44 and a frequency divider 45 for generating a reference clock pulse, and a random number generator 46 and a sampling circuit 47 for generating a random number to be sampled. As a means for random number sampling, random number sampling may be executed in the microcomputer 40, that is, on the operation program of the CPU 41. In that case, the random number generator 46 and the sampling circuit 47 can be omitted, or can be left as a backup for the random number sampling operation.

In the ROM 42 of the microcomputer 40, a probability lottery table used for determination of random number sampling performed every time the start lever 6 is operated (start operation), and a main reel stop mode according to the operation of the stop switch are determined. A stop control table, various control commands (commands) to be transmitted to the sub control circuit 82, and the like are stored. The sub control circuit 82 does not input a command or the like to the main control circuit 81, but information can be input from the sub control circuit 82 to the main control circuit 81.

In the present invention, after a combination of symbols to be stopped and displayed by the main control circuit is determined by internal lottery, a lottery is performed to determine which of the nine reels 3LU, 3CU... 3CB, 3RB is the main reel.

In this lottery, random number sampling is performed using the random number generator 46 and the sampling circuit 47 described above, and the arrangement of the main reels is determined based on the main reel arrangement table described below.
In the method, first, among the nine reels 3LU, 3CU... 3CB, 3RB, the eight combinations (arrangements) shown in FIGS. A main reel arrangement table in which reel combinations (arrangements) are associated with numbers is created, and the main reel arrangement table is stored in the ROM.

Next, the random numbers used in the lottery are allocated to the numbers of the respective arrangements so that the respective combinations (arrangements) are selected with substantially the same probability, and further, the main reels in which these random numbers are associated with the numbers of the respective arrangements A determination table is created, and this main reel determination table is stored in the ROM.

Based on the random number value obtained by random number sampling, the main reel arrangement is determined using the main reel arrangement table and the main reel determination table.

Based on this information, the CPU 41 stops the rotation of the reel 3 corresponding to the main reel after the stop switch corresponding to the main reel is operated.

In the above case, the main reel arrangement is determined using the main control circuit 81, but the main reel arrangement may be determined using the sub control circuit 82. In this case, the main reel arrangement table and the main reel determination table are set in the ROM 85 of the sub control circuit 82, and the sub CPU 85 determines the arrangement of the main reels using the method described above, and the information is used as the main control circuit 81. Is sent to.

In the circuit of FIG. 3, the main actuators whose operation is controlled by a control signal from the microcomputer 40 are various lamps (1-BET lamp 9a, 2-BET lamp 9b, maximum BET lamp 9c, WIN lamp 17). Various display units (payout display unit 18, credit display unit 19, accessory operation frequency display unit 20) and game value giving means for storing medals and paying out a predetermined number of medals according to instructions from the hopper drive circuit 51. Stepper motors 59LU, 59CU, 59RU, 59LM, 59CM, 59RM, 59LB, 59CB, 59RB (hereinafter referred to as “the hopper 50” including a payout driving unit) and reels 3LU, 3CU... 3CB, 3RB 59LU, 59CU ... 59CB, 59RB ") .

Furthermore, stepping motors 59LU, 59CU... 59CB, 59RB are driven and controlled by a motor driving circuit 49, a hopper driving circuit 51 that controls driving of a hopper 50, a lamp driving circuit 55 that controls driving of various lamps, and various display units. A display unit driving circuit 58 is connected to the output unit of the CPU 41 via the I / O port 48. Each of these drive circuits receives a control signal such as a drive command output from the CPU 41 and controls the operation of each actuator.

The main input signal generating means for generating an input signal necessary for the microcomputer 40 to generate a control command includes a start switch 6S, a 1-BET switch 11, a 2-BET switch 12, a maximum BET switch 13, There are a stored medal settlement switch 14, a rotation speed change switch 101, a inserted medal sensor 22S, a reel stop signal circuit 56, a reel position detection circuit 60, and a payout completion signal circuit 61. These are also connected to the CPU 41 via the I / O port 48.

The start switch 6S detects the operation of the start lever 6. The inserted medal sensor 22 </ b> S detects a medal inserted into the medal slot 22. The reel stop signal circuit 56 generates a stop signal in response to the operation of each stop switch 7LU, 7CU... 7CB, 7RB. The reel position detection circuit 60 receives the pulse signal from the reel rotation sensor and supplies a signal for detecting the position of each reel 3LU, 3CU... 3CB, 3RB to the CPU 41.
The payout completion signal circuit 61 generates a signal for detecting the completion of the medal payout when the count value of the medal detection unit 50S (the number of medals paid out from the hopper 50) reaches the designated number data.

In the circuit of FIG. 3, the random number generator 46 generates a random number belonging to a certain numerical range, and the sampling circuit 47 samples one random number at an appropriate timing after the start lever 6 is operated. Based on the random number sampled in this way and the probability lottery table stored in the ROM 42, the internal winning combination is determined. After the internal winning combination is determined, random number sampling is performed again to select the “stop control table”.

After the rotation of the reels 3LU, 3CU... 3CB, 3RB is started, the number of drive pulses supplied to each of the stepping motors 59LU, 59CU... 59CB, 59RB is counted, and the counted value is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 43. Written. From the reels 3LU, 3CU... 3CB, 3RB, reset pulses are obtained for each rotation, and these pulses are input to the CPU 41 via the reel position detection circuit 60. The count value of the drive pulse counted in the RAM 43 is cleared to “0” by the reset pulse thus obtained. As a result, the RAM 43 stores count values corresponding to the rotational positions within the range of one rotation for each of the reels 3LU, 3CU... 3CB, 3RB.

A symbol table is stored in the ROM 42 in order to associate the rotational positions of the reels 3LU, 3CU... 3CB, 3RB with the symbols drawn on the outer peripheral surface of the reel.
In this symbol table, with reference to the rotational position at which the reset pulse is generated as described above, the code number assigned sequentially for each fixed rotation pitch of each reel 3LU, 3CU... 3CB, 3RB, and the corresponding code number. And a symbol code indicating the symbol provided.

Furthermore, a winning symbol combination table is stored in the ROM 42. In this winning symbol combination table, a winning symbol combination, a winning medal dividend number, and a winning determination code representing the winning are associated with each other. The above winning symbol combination table is referred to at the time of stop control of three reels determined as main reels by the method described later, and when confirming a winning after all reels are stopped.

When an internal winning is made by the lottery process (probability lottery process) based on the random number sampling, the CPU 41 performs an operation sent from the reel stop signal circuit 56 at the timing when the player operates the stop switches 7LU, 7CU... 7CB, 7RB. Based on the signal and the selected “stop control table”, a signal for controlling the stop of the three reels serving as the main reels is sent to the motor drive circuit 49.

If the combination of the three symbols serving as the main reels is a stop mode indicating that the winning combination of the winning combination is established, the CPU 41 supplies a payout command signal to the hopper driving circuit 51 to receive a predetermined number of medals from the hopper 50. Make a withdrawal. At that time, the medal detection unit 50S counts the number of medals to be paid out from the hopper 50, and when the count value reaches a designated number, a medal payout completion signal is input to the CPU 41. As a result, the CPU 41 stops driving the hopper 50 via the hopper drive circuit 51 and ends the “medal payout process”.

6 to 8 are flowcharts showing a subroutine executed in the gaming machine shown in FIGS. This subroutine is called and executed at a predetermined timing from a previously executed main routine. In this game execution process routine, the flowchart will be described separately for the game execution process routine 1 of FIG. 6, the game execution process routine 2 of FIG. 7, and the game execution process routine 3 of FIG.

First, as shown in the game execution process routine 1 of FIG. 6, the CPU 41 determines whether or not there is a request for automatic insertion of medals (step S10). The case where there is a request for automatic insertion is a case where a winning of replay (replay) is established in the previous game. When there is a request for automatic insertion of medals, medals for the insertion request are automatically inserted (step S11), and a medal insertion command is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 82 (step S12).

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S10 that there is no automatic medal insertion request, the CPU 41 determines whether or not a medal has actually been inserted (step S13). That is, the CPU 41 determines whether or not a medal has been inserted by determining whether or not a detection signal issued by the inserted medal sensor 22S that has detected that a medal has been inserted into the medal slot 22 has been received. .

When determining in step S13 that no medal has been inserted, the CPU 41 returns the process to step S10.
If it is determined in step S13 that a medal has been inserted, or if the process of step S12 is executed, the CPU 41 determines whether or not the start lever 6 has been operated (step S14). That is, the CPU 41 determines whether or not an input signal from the start switch 6S has been received.

When determining in step S14 that the start lever 6 has not been operated, the CPU 41 returns the processing to step S14. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S14 that the start lever 6 has been operated, the CPU 41 performs processing related to various settings (step S15).

In these various setting processes, the random number is sampled from the random number generator 46 at the timing when the start lever 6 is operated, and the internal winning combination is based on the sampled random number value and the lottery probability table set in the RAM 43. A lottery process for generating (winning flag) is performed. In the various setting processes, for example, a WIN lamp lighting lottery process, a process of transmitting a start command to the sub-control circuit 82 as a transmission process at the start of a game, a process of initializing for reel rotation, and the like are performed.

Next, the CPU 41 performs a lottery process for determining the arrangement of the main reels (step S16). In this process, as described above, first, random number sampling is performed, and based on the obtained random number value, the main reel arrangement is determined using the main reel arrangement table and the main reel determination table. is there.

Next, based on this information, the CPU 41 divides the reels 3LU, 3CU... 3CB, 3RB into main reels and sub reels, and stores the results in the RAM 43. For the reels stored as the main reels, processing relating to selection of a stop control table for stopping the rotating reels is performed (step S17), and rotation of all the reels is started.

Next, the CPU 41 determines whether or not the stop switches (stop buttons) 7LU, 7CU,... 7CB, 7RB are “ON” based on the presence / absence of an input signal from the reel stop signal circuit 56. First, it is determined whether or not the “ON” stop switch 7 is a sub-reel stop switch (step S20). If the sub-reel stop switch is “ON”, the process proceeds to step S26. That is, in this case, the reel stop process is not performed.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the "ON" stop switch 7 is not a sub-reel stop switch, it is determined whether or not the "ON" stop switch 7 is a main reel stop switch (step S21). .

If it is determined that the stop switch is not the main reel, the CPU 41 determines whether or not the value of the automatic stop timer is “0” (step S22). To step S21.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S21 that the "ON" stop switch 7 is a main reel stop switch, or if it is determined in step S22 that the value of the automatic stop timer is "0", the CPU 41 Is to stop the rotation of the rotating reel 3 corresponding to the stop switch 7, and at that time, the winning request (internal winning combination), the symbol position (the rotating position of the rotating reel 3 at the time of operation) are selected. The number of sliding frames is determined from the stop control table and the like (step S23).

Next, the CPU 41 performs a process of rotating and stopping the rotating reel 3 by the number of sliding frames determined in step S23 (step S24), and sets a stop request for one rotating reel 3 (step S25). .

Next, the CPU 41 determines whether or not all three main reels 3 are stopped (step S26). If it is determined that all the rotating reels are not stopped, the process returns to step S18.

Next, as shown in the game execution processing routine 2 of FIG. 7, when it is determined that all the rotating reels have stopped, the CPU 41 performs a winning search (step S50). Regarding the order of symbols when performing a winning search, the criteria described with reference to FIG. 5 are used.
At this time, a winning symbol combination table or the like stored in the ROM 42 is referred to. Further, it is determined whether or not the winning flag is normal. If not, the illegal error may be displayed and the process may be interrupted.

Next, the CPU 41 determines whether or not an RB has been won (step S51). If it is determined that RB has been won, a process related to RB setting is performed (step S52). In this step S52, the CPU 41 performs processing related to the setting of the RB lottery probability table and the RB winning symbol combination table. In step S52, the CPU 41 starts counting the number of RB game winnings and the like, and starts a process of displaying the count value on the accessory operation count display unit 20.

When winning the RB, since it is not necessary to display the internal winning symbol on the sub reel, after performing the process related to the RB setting in step S51, the process proceeds to step S58, and the CPU 41 performs the sub reel symbol lottery. This is determined by performing an internal lottery on the symbols of the sub reels to be stopped, but the symbols of the sub reels stopped in this case have no particular meaning. Therefore, a sub-reel symbol lottery table in which the code numbers and random numbers corresponding to the symbols constituting the sub-reel are made to correspond one-to-one is created and stored in the ROM 42. Based on the sub-reel symbol lottery table, Make a lottery. That is, after sampling a random number using a circuit for random number sampling, the design of the sub reel is determined based on the obtained random number and the sub reel design lottery table, and the process proceeds to step S65.

When determining in step S51 that the RB has not been won, the CPU 41 determines whether or not the BB has been won (step S53). If it is determined that BB has been won, processing relating to BB setting is performed (step S54). In this step S54, the CPU 41 performs processing related to the setting of a lottery probability table for BB, a winning symbol combination table for BB, and the like. In step S56, the CPU 41 starts counting the number of times the BB game is consumed, displaying the count value on the accessory action number display unit 20, counting the number of medals paid out, and the like.
Even when winning an RB, since it is not necessary to display the internal winning symbol on the sub-reel, the CPU 41 proceeds to step S58 after performing the process related to the RB setting in step S53, and performs the sub-reel symbol lottery.

If it is determined in step S53 that BB has not been won, the CPU 41 determines whether or not RB has been won internally (step S55). When determining that the RB has not been internally won, the CPU 41 determines whether or not the BB has been internally won (step S56).

If it is determined that neither the BB nor the internal winning has been determined, it is not necessary to display the internal winning symbol on the sub-reel. Therefore, the CPU 41 proceeds to step S58 and performs the sub-reel symbol lottery.

If the RB is won internally in step S55 or if the RB is won internally in step S56, the CPU 41 determines whether the BET number is 2 or 3 (step S57). If the BET number is 1 instead of 2 or 3, the process proceeds to step S58, and a symbol drawing of the sub reels is performed.

If the BET number is 2 or 3, a special notification line is set according to the BET number (step S59). That is, when the BET number is 2, for example, three special notification lines are set, and when the BET number is 3, for example, eight special notification lines are set.
Next, the CPU 41 determines whether or not it is possible to display on the sub-reel on the special notice line the symbol that has been won internally for a specific winning combination (step S60).

In the arrangement of the main reels as shown in FIGS. 5A to 5F, it is possible to display on the sub-reel a symbol (internal winning symbol) that has been won internally for a specific winning combination. The process proceeds to S61, and all stop symbols of the sub reels including the internal winning symbol are set on the special notification line.

Regarding which sub-reel the internal winning symbol is displayed on, according to the arrangement of the main reels shown in FIGS. 5A to 5F, there are only two possible arrangements of the internal winning symbol on the sub-reel. Either one is determined by lottery, and the arrangement of other sub reels is determined in the same manner as in step S58 (step S61). FIGS. 11C and 11A show an example of the arrangement of the internal winning symbols on the sub reels in the arrangement of the main reels shown in FIGS. 5A and 5D. In the case of the arrangement of the main reels shown in FIGS. 5A and 5D, the arrangement in which the internal winning symbol is displayed in the symbols of the main reel as shown in FIG. 11B is not considered. .

On the other hand, if the main reels are arranged as shown in FIGS. 5G and 5H, it is impossible to display the internal winning symbol as it is on the sub reels. In this case, the CPU 41 If the symbols of the stopped main reel are included, it is determined whether or not the internal winning symbol can be displayed (step S62).
That is, in FIG. 5G, whether the symbol on the left side of the internal winning symbol is the same as the symbol on the main reel 3LU (upper left), the symbol on the center of the internal winning symbol is the main reel 3CM (center). ) And whether the symbol on the right side of the internal winning symbol is the same as the symbol on the main reel 3RB (bottom right). The same determination is made for (h) in FIG. FIG. 11D shows a case where the central symbol is the same as the internal winning symbol.

When it is determined that the display including the symbols of the stopped main reel is impossible, the symbols of the sub reels are drawn (step S63), and the process proceeds to step S65.

When it is determined that the display including the symbols of the stopped main reel is possible, there are two display methods including the symbols of the stopped main reel in both FIGS. 5 (g) and 5 (h). Therefore, the display method is determined by lottery, the symbols are arranged so as to be the display method, the symbols of other sub reels are determined by lottery (step S64), and the process proceeds to step S65.

In step S58, step S61, step S63, and step S64, after determining the symbol of the sub reel, the rotation of the sub reel is stopped so that the determined symbol is obtained (step S65).

Next, as shown in the game execution processing routine 3 of FIG. 8, the CPU 41 determines whether or not there is a medal payout, that is, whether or not there is a winning number (step S31).
If it is determined that medals have been paid out, the CPU 41 stores or pays out the number of medals according to the gaming state and the winning combination (step S32). When storing medals, the CPU 41 performs a process of adding the number of medals stored in the RAM 43. On the other hand, when paying out medals, the CPU 41 sends out a payout command signal to the hopper driving circuit 51 and pays out a predetermined number of medals from the hopper 50. At that time, the medal detection unit 50S counts the number of medals to be paid out from the hopper 50, and when the count value reaches a designated number, a medal payout completion signal is input to the CPU 41. As a result, the CPU 41 stops driving the hopper 50 via the hopper drive circuit 51 and ends the medal payout process.

Next, the CPU 41 determines whether or not the RB has ended (step S33). If it is determined that the RB has ended, the CPU 41 next performs a process related to the RB setting cancellation (step S34). In step 34, the CPU 41 determines the lottery probability table used in the normal gaming state (other than RB and BB) from the RB lottery probability table set in the process of step S53, the winning symbol combination table for RB, or the like. Performs processing related to setting change.

When the process of step S34 is executed or when it is determined in step S33 that the RB has not ended, the CPU 41 determines whether or not the BB has ended (step S35). When determining that the BB has ended, the CPU 41 performs a process related to the BB setting cancellation (step S36). In this step S36, the CPU 41 performs a process related to the setting change from the BB lottery probability table set in the process of step S56, the BB winning symbol combination table, or the like to the lottery probability table used in the normal gaming state. I do.

If the process of step S36 is executed or if it is determined in step S35 that the BB has not ended, this subroutine is ended.

Next, a gaming method of the gaming machine according to the first embodiment will be briefly described.
First, after the player inserts a medal, the player operates the start lever to start the rotation of the reel 3. Immediately after the rotation of the reel 3 is started, a main reel and a sub reel are determined.

The player selects and operates an appropriate stop switch 7, but when the stop switch 7 corresponds to the sub-reel stop switch 7, the reel does not stop and continues to rotate. On the other hand, when the stop switch 7 corresponds to the stop switch 7 of the main reel, the reel stops at the timing when the stop switch is operated. Since there are only eight main reel arrangement patterns shown in FIGS. 5A to 5H, if the stop switch to be operated is selected well, the stop switches of all the reels are not operated. Both show which main reel is.

In the present invention, as described above, a special notification line as shown in FIG. After all the main reels are stopped, the sub reels are stopped. However, when the number of BETs is 2 or 3, 3 or 8 according to the number of BETs is selected from the special notification line shown in FIG. A special announcement line for books is set up. Then, in the game, when a predetermined winning combination such as RB or BB is won internally, as shown in FIGS. 11 (a) to 11 (d), the sub reel has a specific winning combination on the special notice line. Stop in the manner shown.

In the above embodiment, if a winning combination such as RB or BB is not won, the winning combination that will be carried over after the next game such as RB or BB is won internally, and the combination of the winning combination Therefore, it is easy for the player to arrange the symbols related to the internal winning combination announced in the game after the next game. However, when an internal lottery for determining the sub-reel symbol is performed and the symbol of the sub-reel is determined, depending on the combination, a symbol such as RB or BB is displayed even if the predetermined winning combination is not won internally. There is.

In addition, for each game, the main reel is changed and the arrangement pattern of the main reel is changed, and the relationship between the main reel and the sub reel is completely different from the conventional relationship. Can be provided.

Note that the stop switch L corresponding to the reels 3LU, 3LM, 3LB and the reels 3CU, 3CM, 3CB are provided without the stop switches 7LU, 7CU,... 7CB, 7RB for each reel 3LU, 3CU. A corresponding stop switch C and a stop switch R corresponding to the reels 3RU, 3RM, 3RB are provided. For example, when the stop switch L is operated, the reel 3LU, 3LM, 3LB is determined by the lottery result. The structure (that is, main reel) may stop. With such a configuration, when the stop switches L, C, and R are operated, which reels 3LU, 3CU,... 3CB, and 3RB stop is random, and the player is not bored. Play.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, a gaming machine according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described.
This gaming machine is related to the above-described embodiment except that when a predetermined winning combination is won internally or when the probability is high, the sub reel rotates in a manner different from that of the main reel. It is configured in the same way as a gaming machine.

The appearance configuration of the gaming machine according to the second embodiment and the configuration of the main control circuit and the sub control circuit are substantially the same as those of the gaming machine according to the first embodiment shown in FIGS. It is omitted here.

In the gaming machine according to the second embodiment, as described above, when a predetermined winning combination is won internally, or when the probability is high, the sub reel rotates in a mode different from the main reel. Since this is different from the gaming machine according to the first embodiment, this point will be described based on a flowchart.

Although it is usually difficult to determine which is the main reel for such a configuration, the sub-reel rotates in a different manner from the main reel, so it can be determined which main reel is, And it is because possibility that a player can look forward to rotating in such a mode itself is high. Moreover, it is because a player can be attracted more by notifying that it is highly likely that a predetermined winning combination is won internally in such a rotation mode.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a subroutine executed in the gaming machine of the present invention according to the second embodiment. In addition, since the process after step S26 is completely the same as the gaming machine of the present invention according to the first embodiment, the flowchart is omitted.

In the gaming machine of the present invention according to the second embodiment, processing relating to insertion of medals, processing relating to operation of the start lever, processing relating to determination of the main reel and sub reel, and the like are performed in steps S10 to S17.

Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the stop switch 7 that has been “ON” is a stop switch for a sub reel (step S20).

If it is determined that the "ON" stop switch 7 is not a sub-reel stop switch, it is determined whether or not the "ON" stop switch 7 is a main reel stop switch (step S21).

If it is determined that the stop switch is not the main reel, the CPU 41 determines whether or not the value of the automatic stop timer is “0” (step S22). To step S21.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S21 that the "ON" stop switch 7 is a main reel stop switch, or if it is determined in step S22 that the value of the automatic stop timer is "0", the CPU 41 Determines the number of sliding symbols from the winning request, the symbol position, the selected stop control table, etc. (step S23), and performs a process of rotating and stopping the rotating reel 3 by the determined number of sliding symbols (step S23). S24), a stop request for one rotating reel 3 is set (step S25).

On the other hand, if the sub-reel stop switch has been turned “ON”, it is determined whether or not a specific winning combination has been won in the internal lottery in various settings in step S15 (step S70). This determination can be made by comparing data indicating the result of the internal lottery (a symbol combination) with a specific winning combination (a symbol combination). Specific winning combinations include small roles such as BB, RB, replay, cherry, etc. Among these, it is desirable to determine a plurality of specific winning combinations by lottery or the like. In this step S70, since all the main reels are not stopped, there is a possibility that symbols can be aligned in this game. Therefore, the winning combination in this case can also be one that does not carry over to the next game.

When determining in step S70 that the specific winning combination has not been won internally, the CPU 41 shifts the processing to step S26. That is, in this case, the rotation mode is not changed, the reel stop process is not performed, and the rotation of the reel is continued at a speed before the stop switch is operated. As a result, it is understood that the player has not won the internal prize for a specific winning combination.

If it is determined in step S70 that a specific winning combination is won internally, the CPU 41 changes the rotation mode of all the determined sub-reels (step S71). As a method of changing the rotation mode of the sub reels, for example, as shown in FIG. 12A, a method of reducing the rotation speed of reels other than the main reel, and as shown in FIG. 12B, reels other than the main reel. And a method of reversely rotating reels other than the main reel as shown in FIG. 12C. At this time, the CPU 41 transmits a control signal to the motor drive circuit 49 and changes the rotation mode of all the sub reels by changing the intervals of the drive pulses supplied to the stepping motors 59LU, 59CU... 59CB, 59RB, etc. Change it.

Note that the change in the rotation mode of the sub reels may be used to indicate that the probability of internal winning for a specific winning combination is high. In this case, the case where the specific winning combination is not internally won is also included. . In this case, if an internal winning is not made for a specific winning combination, another lottery is performed, and it is considered that an internal winning is made with a probability of about several percent, and the rotation mode of the sub reel is changed.

When changing the rotation mode of the sub reels, it is desirable to change the rotation speed to 75 rotations / minute or 85 rotations / minute when each reel normally rotates at a rotation speed of, for example, 80 rotations / minute. It is because the pleasure of finding a change in the rotation speed increases by changing it to such an extent that it can be understood by careful observation.
Since the rotation mode of the sub reels is changed by the above processing, it is possible to recognize which reel is the main reel and operate the stop switch of the reel.
Further, when such a sub-reel rotation mode is changed, it is known that a specific winning combination is won internally, so it is easy to align the symbols won internally.

Also, if all the sub-reels are rotated in reverse, the reels start rotating in reverse by operating one stop switch, so that the production becomes very dynamic and the player can enjoy the effects. it can.

If it is determined in step S25 that the reel stop request is set, the sub-reel rotation mode is changed in step S71, or if it is determined in step S70 that a specific winning combination is not internally won, the CPU 41 Next, it is determined whether or not all three main reels 3 are stopped (step S26). If it is determined that all the rotating reels are not stopped, the process returns to step S20.
Since the subsequent steps are the same as those of the gaming machine of the present invention according to the first embodiment, description thereof will be omitted.

The gaming method of the gaming machine of the present invention according to the second embodiment is almost the same as the gaming machine of the present invention according to the first embodiment, but with regard to the reaction of the gaming machine, as described above, the sub-reel stop When the switch is operated, if a specific winning combination is won internally, the rotation mode of all sub-reels is changed from the gaming machine of the present invention according to the first embodiment.

In the gaming machine configured as described above, for each game, the main reel is changed and the arrangement pattern of the main reel is changed. The relationship between the main reel and the sub reel is completely different from the conventional relationship. In addition to being able to enjoy a novel and unexpected game, when you win a chance to win a large number of medals, you can figure out which is the main reel. It is possible to play, so there is less embarrassment, and you can relax and have fun playing games.

[Third Embodiment]
Next, a gaming machine of the present invention according to the third embodiment will be described.
In this gaming machine, when the predetermined winning combination is won internally, or when the probability is high, the sub reel is rotated in a different mode from the main reel. It is comprised similarly to the game machine which concerns on a form.

In addition, when a predetermined winning combination is won internally, or when the probability is high, the sub reel rotates in a manner different from that of the main reel. Although it is the same, since the timing is different from the gaming machine according to the second embodiment, this point will be mainly described.

The appearance configuration of the gaming machine according to the second embodiment and the configurations of the main control circuit and the sub control circuit are substantially the same as those of the gaming machine according to the first embodiment shown in FIGS.

FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing a subroutine executed in the gaming machine of the present invention according to the third embodiment. In addition, since the process after step S26 is completely the same as the gaming machine of the present invention according to the first and second embodiments, the flowchart is omitted.

In the gaming machine of the present invention according to the second embodiment, in steps S10 to S17, processing related to medal insertion, processing related to operation of the start lever, processing related to determination of the main reel and sub reel, and the like are performed. It is determined whether or not a specific winning combination is won internally by internal lottery in various settings in step S15 (step S80). The determination method is the same as that of the gaming machine according to the second embodiment.

When determining in step S80 that the specific winning combination has not been won internally, the CPU 41 shifts the processing to step S20. That is, in this case, the rotation of the reels is started at the same rotational speed for both the sub reel and the main reel.

If it is determined in step S80 that a specific winning combination has been won internally, the CPU 41 starts rotating the reels in the changed rotation mode for all the determined sub-reels (step S81).

Thereafter, similarly to the gaming machine according to the first embodiment, it is determined whether or not the stop switch 7 that has been turned “ON” is a sub-reel stop switch (step S20). The game is advanced in the same manner as the gaming machine.

The gaming method of the gaming machine of the present invention according to the third embodiment is almost the same as the gaming machine of the present invention according to the first embodiment, but with respect to the reaction of the gaming machine, a specific winning combination is won internally. If this is the case, when the start lever is operated, the rotation mode of all the sub-reels is changed, which is different from the gaming machine of the present invention according to the first embodiment.

In the gaming machine configured as described above, for each game, the main reel is changed and the arrangement pattern of the main reel is changed. The relationship between the main reel and the sub reel is completely different from the conventional relationship. In addition to being able to enjoy a novel and unexpected game, when you win a chance to win a large number of medals, you can figure out which is the main reel. It is possible to play, so there is less embarrassment, and you can relax and have fun playing games.
