Description

  The present invention executes a combination lottery based on a start operation, and fluctuates a plurality of symbol variation sequences composed of a plurality of symbol groups, and on a predetermined winning line based on a subsequent stop operation, The present invention relates to a gaming machine that performs a game in which a symbol corresponding to a winning combination is won by the winning lottery, and a reel tape applied to the gaming machine.

  Conventionally, in gaming machines, particularly pachislot machines, a predetermined number of game media are inserted and a start lever is operated to win / win a lottery for the game (hereinafter referred to as “winning lottery” as necessary). Is executed, and a so-called symbol variation pattern effect is started by rotating a plurality of rows (generally three rows) of symbol variation reels having a plurality of symbols displayed on the peripheral surface. .

  The symbol change reel (symbol change pattern production) that has started rotating by the operation of the start lever described above is stopped almost at the time the player intends by operating the stop button provided corresponding to each. Is done.

  That is, the stopped symbols are arranged in a 3 × 3 (3 rows × 3 columns) matrix, and in this stopped symbol, the upper, middle, and lower straight lines (3 lines) and the diagonal line (2 Line) is set as the winning line.

  Here, when the internal lottery is executed at the time of operating the start lever and the winning / losing is decided, and the player performs the stop operation of each symbol variable reel by the stop button and wins the internal lottery. When the symbol corresponding to the winning line is aligned on the winning line, the prize is won and the right is exercised.

  In addition, even if the operation timing (timing) of the stop button when aligning with the above winning line is slightly shifted, if the result of the internal lottery and the control that pulls in the desired symbol so as to win, the symbol variable reel is Kicking control so as not to display the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination (hereinafter, pull-in control and kicking control are collectively referred to as “slip control”) is executed.

  Here, even if the result of the internal lottery is a win, if the operation time of the stop button is out of the pullable range and the symbol variable reel does not stop display with the symbol corresponding to the winning combination, it will not be won The above rights will not be exercised.

  In this case, the player often cannot know whether the result of the internal lottery has been won or lost.

Here, as the specification of the conventional pachislot machine, when the internal lottery is won and the stop symbol does not win, the so-called reach pattern (for example, all the displayed symbols (9 symbols) is arranged according to the stop symbol. ) And a gaming machine capable of notifying the winning of the internal lottery has been proposed (see Patent Document 1).
Patent No. 3080206

  However, in the technique disclosed in Patent Document 1, it is a so-called reach notification that can notify that the internal lottery is won. In this case, when the operation timing of the stop button is outside the range of so-called slip control, no so-called reach eyes are notified.

  Therefore, even if a so-called reach eye notification function is provided, there is a problem that the player is terminated without notifying the winner of the internal lottery.

  Although there are many proposals for a technique for notifying the internal winning using a lamp or the like, it is necessary to divert the player's line of sight to the symbol variation, which hinders the progress of the game.

  Further, in the conventional gaming machine, the winning symbol arrangement corresponding to the predetermined combination uses the same symbol (there is a winning combination with one reel), and when it becomes the winning symbol arrangement The game was monotonous only because it was given a profit (exercise of special games such as medal dividends and big bonuses) according to the winning combination.

  In consideration of the above facts, the present invention aims to obtain a gaming machine capable of establishing a game specification that is rich in change by providing a non-winning line, and a reel tape having a symbol arrangement conforming to the game specification. is there.

  In addition to the above purpose, if the winning lottery is won internally, and the symbol corresponding to the winning symbol cannot be aligned with the winning line, an opportunity to align the notification symbol indicating the winning on the non-winning line is given. Thus, an object is to obtain a gaming machine capable of recognizing the state of internal winning without diverting the line of sight from the design.

The present invention is based on the start operation, and executes the winning lottery, a plurality of symbol variation string composed of a plurality of symbols groups varied, based on the subsequent stop operation, over a plurality of symbol variation column A gaming machine that performs a game in which symbols corresponding to the winning combination in the winning lottery are arranged on a pre-set winning line, and within a predetermined number of symbols based on the timing of the stop operation. Each symbol variation sequence so that the symbol corresponding to the winning combination by the winning lottery is aligned with the winning line, or the symbol corresponding to the winning combination not winning by the winning lottery is not aligned with the winning line. The symbol lottery is won by the symbol stop control means for executing the control of the symbol stop position every time and the timing of the stop operation with respect to the symbol variation sequence exceeds the control range of the symbol stop control means. Despite there, when the winning symbol can not be aligned to the winning line, different from the winning line, and the winning of the combination lottery in non pay line set in advance over a plurality of symbol variation column Winning notification opportunity granting means for granting an opportunity to align the suggested notification patterns.

According to the present invention , when there is a start operation, a combination lottery is executed based on the start operation, and a plurality of symbol variation sequences are varied. By changing the symbol variation sequence being changed, a game is performed in which the winning symbols are aligned with a pre-set winning line.

  Here, in the symbol stop control means, within the preset number of symbol ranges (for example, the variable symbol sequence is a reel reel having a total of 21 symbols and the stop button of the stop operation is based on the timing (time) of the stop operation. In the case where the operation is detected as a reference, within the range of time varying from 4 to 5 symbols), the symbols corresponding to the winning combination by the winning lottery are drawn into the winning line, or the winning symbols are aligned, or So-called slip control is executed for each symbol variation sequence so that the symbol corresponding to the winning combination is not kicked and the winning symbol is not aligned with the winning line. Thus, when the winning combination lottery is won, the player can easily draw the symbols corresponding to the winning combination and align the winning symbols.

  On the other hand, in the winning notification opportunity giving means, when the winning lottery is won, the winning symbol cannot be aligned with the winning line, and the winning lottery is placed on a non-winning line different from the winning line. Opportunities are provided to provide notification patterns that suggest winning. Thereby, the winning combination of the winning lottery can be notified by arranging the notification symbols on the non-winning line.

  That is, when the winning lottery is won and the winning symbol cannot be aligned with the winning line, an opportunity to align the notification symbol with the non-winning line is given, and the symbol stopping control means allows the symbol stopping control means to It is easy to align the notification symbols by drawing the notification symbols corresponding to the winning combination in the lottery.

  Therefore, it is possible to increase the opportunity for the player to suggest the winning of the winning lottery and the opportunity to prepare the notification symbols corresponding to the winning lottery.

A plurality of the winning lines are provided.

Since a plurality of winning lines that can be awarded by the player are provided, the selection range of the symbol stop position by the game is increased, and the stop operation for winning becomes easier accordingly.

The plurality of winning lines and non-winning lines are composed of a total of five lines including a horizontal line in the upper row, a middle row, and a lower row, and a diagonal line that are configured in a three-row and three-column matrix arrangement by three symbol variation columns. Any one of the five lines is set as a non-winning line.

The winning line and the non-winning line are composed of a total of five lines including a horizontal line in the upper row, a middle row, and a lower row, and a diagonal line in a matrix pattern of 3 rows and 3 columns. One of these lines is designated as a non-winning line. Thereby, a notification pattern can be made into the said non-winning line. Informational patterns suggesting winning of the winning lottery can be arranged.

  Here, according to the symbol arrangement of the reels 350A, 350B, and 350C that have been stopped, the gaming state control unit 186 confirms whether or not a winning combination has been won. If the game is a replay, the replay control is executed, and if it is a big game, the game execution control unit 186A reads the big game game program from the game program memory 188 and executes it.

  It should be noted that the regular bonus game program and the big bonus game program are separately stored in the major player program, and are selectively read based on the elected major player.

  In the regular bonus program, for example, a maximum of 12 games (maximum number of games) can be executed in a state where the lottery probability of the small role is higher than the probability of lottery during the normal game. If, for example, a maximum of 8 wins (maximum number of wins) are given to any small role among these 12 games, the regular bonus game is ended.

  On the other hand, in the big bonus program, a regular bonus game can be executed with high probability as an exercise of rights, and if the number obtained in the big bonus game reaches a preset upper limit number, even if the regular bonus game is being executed The big bonus game ends. In the first embodiment, the win probability of the small role in the big bonus game is almost the same as that in the normal game.

  In addition, a flag memory 192 is connected to the gaming state control unit 186 via the flag management control unit 190, and the internal winning state of the combination corresponding to the winning result of the internal lottery described above is managed by the state of the flag. Yes.

  Each flag is established by winning by internal lottery. Generally, the state of the small role flag disappears in one game (the flag is not established), but the state of the flag of the major role is thereafter set to each reel 350A, 350B, 350C. Is stopped and displayed on the display window 314 in a predetermined arrangement, and is maintained until winning the winning role.

  Note that the flag memory 192 is connected to the reel drive control unit 194 described above, and the state of the flag stored in the flag memory 192 is based on the operation of the stop buttons 356A, 356B, and 356C by the reel drive control unit 194. This is applied as a parameter for pull-in or kick-out slip control during stop control.

  FIG. 5 shows details for drive control of the reels 350A, 350B, and 350C in the reel drive control unit 194.

  The gaming state control unit 186 is connected to the drive management unit 250, and the drive management unit 250 maintains consistency between the gaming state and the driving states of the reels 350A, 350B, and 350C.

  In addition, an operation signal from the start lever 354 is input to the drive management unit 250, and when the start lever 354 is operated, the drive management unit 250 sends a drive / stop signal output unit 252. A signal instructing the start of driving is output.

  When receiving a drive start instruction, the drive / stop signal output unit 252 outputs a drive signal to the motor drive circuit 132.

  On the other hand, the stop buttons 356A, 356B, 356C are connected to a stop instruction unit 256. Normally, a stop instruction signal is output from the stop instruction section 256 to the winning / non-winning determination section 255 based on the operation timing of the stop buttons 356A, 356B, 356C.

  The reel position detection circuit 134 that detects the rotational positions of the reels 350A, 350B, and 350C is connected to the winning / non-winning determination unit 255. The reel position detection circuit 134 outputs a reel position detection signal.

  The flag memory 192 is connected to the winning / non-winning determination unit 255. The flag memory 192 sends the flag status to the winning / non-winning determination unit 255 as flag information.

  In the winning / non-winning determination unit 255, based on the stop instruction signal, the reel position detection signal, and the flag information, it is possible to stop at a desired symbol within the range of slip control (for example, whether it is possible to make a tempering or win a prize) It is determined whether or not (can be determined). Also, the winning / non-winning determination unit 255 generates a position adjustment signal necessary for calculating a slip amount (position adjustment amount) based on the reel position detection signal and the stop instruction signal.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the position adjustment calculation unit 254 is connected to the winning / non-winning determination unit 255. The position adjustment calculation unit 254 is configured to send the position adjustment signal together with the result of the determination of whether or not the winning is possible from the winning / non-winning determination unit 255.

  The position adjustment calculation unit 254 calculates a slip amount (position adjustment amount) related to the stop positions of the reels 350A, 350B, and 350C based on the determination result and the position adjustment signal.

  Here, a slip control unit 258 is connected to the position adjustment calculation unit 254. The slip amount data calculated by the position adjustment calculation unit 254 is sent to the slip control unit 258, and the stop timing is delayed based on the number of slip frames (the slip amount is not required when the so-called bitter is pushed, so that the delay amount is 0). To the drive / stop signal output unit 252.

  By the way, in the first embodiment, when the result of the determination of whether or not the winning / not-permitting / determining unit 255 determines that the winning is possible, the player can win by winning the winning line (see FIG. 2A). It is possible to exercise the rights of a major officer.

  On the other hand, if the result of the determination as to whether or not it is possible is not possible to win, the winning line (FIG. 2A) is not won. However, if the result of the internal lottery is a big role (winning), By aligning the winning combination in the non-winning line (see FIG. 2B) within the range of the slip control, it is possible to notify the player that the internal lottery is a major player (winning) (notification). Production process).

  In addition, when the result of the determination as to whether or not winning is possible is not possible to win, within the range of the slip control, when the symbols cannot be aligned with the non-winning line (see FIG. 2B), the winning line (see FIG. 2 (see (A)), no winning combinations are arranged, and no symbol indicating internal winning is arranged on the non-winning line (see FIG. 2 (B)).

  If the result of the internal lottery is out of place, the winning lines (see FIG. 2 (A)) will not be aligned, and the non-winning line (see FIG. 2 (B)) will not be won. There is no suggestive pattern.

The operation of the first embodiment will be described below.
(Normal game flow)
First, the flow of normal games will be described.

  In the state where the medal is credited (or the medal is inserted from the medal insertion unit 320), the betting of the medal is completed by the operation of the single bet button 352A or the MAX bet button 352B, or the medal insertion unit When a bet is completed by inserting a medal from 320, the start lever 354 can be operated.

  When the start lever 354 is operated, an internal lottery is performed by the lottery unit 180 simultaneously with this operation, and the reels 350A, 350B, and 350C start rotating under the control of the reel drive control unit 194.

  The result of the internal lottery is transmitted from the winning combination / symbol determination unit 1848 to the gaming state control unit 186. The gaming state control unit 186 updates and stores the flag state of the flag memory 192 according to the result of the internal lottery via the flag management control unit 190.

  Thereafter, when the player operates the stop buttons 356A, 356B, and 356C, the stop operation stops the rotation of the reels 350A, 350B, and 350C. However, according to the flag stored in the flag memory 192, the slip control is taken into consideration. Then, stop control of the reels 350A, 350B, and 350C is executed so that the corresponding symbol is pulled into the predetermined position or kicked off from the predetermined position. That is, the reel drive control unit 194 selects the stop control table according to the state of the flag stored in the flag memory 192 and the gaming state by the gaming state control unit 186, and the flag is established. In this case, the winning symbol can be stopped by an accurate pressing timing. Further, a slight shift in the stop operation timing is corrected by slip control. On the other hand, when the flag is not established, the reels 350A, 350B, and 350C are caused to slip even if they are pushed, so that they do not stop at the winning symbol.

  Next, when all the reels 350A, 350B, and 350C are stopped, a winning determination is made as to whether or not a winning is made based on the stopped symbols. When winning, the winning combination is also determined.

  If it is determined by this determination that the major player has won a prize, the bonus game control of the big bonus (BB) or regular bonus (RB) is executed (exercises the right) according to the stop pattern, and it is determined that the player is a minor. In this case, predetermined payout control preset for the small combination is executed.

  Here, in the first embodiment, when the player wins a major role (winning) in the internal lottery, even if the winning line (see FIG. 2 (A)) does not win, the non-winning line (FIG. 2). (See (B)), a line different from the winning line (see FIG. 2 (A)) is adopted, and control for aligning symbols indicating internal winnings to the non-winning line (see FIG. 2 (B)) is performed. Thus, the result of the internal lottery can be notified, and the player is informed that the internal lottery is a major role (winning).

  Hereinafter, according to the flowchart of FIG. 6, the symbol arrangement which stops at the winning line (see FIG. 2A) and the non-winning line (see FIG. 2B) is controlled by the reel stop processing of the reel drive control unit 194. The notification effect processing routine to be performed will be described.

  First, in step 400 of FIG. 6, the game is started by the player operating the start lever operation 354.

  In step 402, an internal lottery is executed by an operation of the start lever 354 by the player.

  Next, in step 404, it is determined whether or not the result of the internal lottery is a red 7 symbol (winning as a major player). If the determination is affirmative, the process proceeds to step 406.

  On the other hand, if a negative determination is made in step 404, the process proceeds to step 442, where the player operates the stop button 356A to perform the stop operation of the left reel 350A.

  In Step 406, when the player performs the stop operation of the stop button 356A, the process proceeds to Step 408, and within the range of the slip control, the red 7 symbol is drawn into the winning line (see FIG. 2A), etc. Then, the process moves to step 410, and it is determined whether or not the left reel 350A has drawn in the red 7 symbol (main character).

  If the determination in step 410 is affirmative, the process proceeds to step 412, and the red 7 symbol (main character) stops at the top winning line (see FIG. 2A) of the left reel 350A (see Table 1). Then, the process proceeds to step 414.

  On the other hand, if a negative determination is made in step 410, the process proceeds to step 426, and the red 7 symbol (major) does not stop on the winning line (see FIG. 2A) of the left reel 350A, and the winning line is not stopped. (See FIG. 2 (A)), symbols other than the red 7 symbol are stopped (see Table 2), and the process proceeds to step 428.

  In step 414, when the player performs the stop operation of the stop button 356B, the process proceeds to step 416, and within the range of the slip control, the red 7 symbol is drawn and the other role kicking is performed. Then, it is determined whether or not the red 7 symbol (main character) has been drawn into the winning line (see FIG. 2A) of the middle reel 350B.

  When an affirmative determination is made in step 418, the process proceeds to step 420, and the red 7 symbol (main player) stops at the upper winning line (see FIG. 2A) of the middle reel 350B (see Table 3). Then, the process proceeds to step 422.

  On the other hand, if a negative determination is made in step 418, the process proceeds to step 430, and the red 7 symbol (major) does not stop on the winning line (see FIG. 2A) of the middle reel 350B. Symbols other than symbols are stopped, and it is determined whether or not a symbol (a symbol corresponding to a winning combination) that suggests an internal winning on the non-winning line (see FIG. 2B) is a so-called temper (see Table 4). Represents a pie.)

  In Step 422, when the player performs a stop operation of the stop button 356C, the process proceeds to Step 424, and within the range of the slip control, the red 7 symbol is drawn and other roles are kicked, and the right reel 350C is won. When the red 7 symbol (big actor) was drawn into the line (see Fig. 2 (A)), the red 7 symbol (major) won the prize because the red 7 symbol (major) was in line (see Table 5). Time notification can be performed.

  The red 7 symbol (big actor) wins, the three reels 350A, 350B, 350C stop, and the notification effect processing routine ends.

  Next, the case where a negative determination is made in step 410 will be described.

  If a negative determination is made in step 410, symbols other than the red 7 symbol are stopped (see Table 2) on the winning line of the left reel 350A (see FIG. 2A) as described above, and step 428 is performed. It has moved to.

  In step 428, when the player performs a stop operation of the stop button 356B, the process proceeds to step 430, and it is determined whether or not the non-winning line (see FIG. 2B) is a so-called temper.

  If the determination in step 430 is affirmative (see Table 6), the process proceeds to step 432.

  In step 432, when the player performs the stop operation of the stop button 356C, the process proceeds to step 434, and within the range of the slip control, only the winning line (see FIG. 2 (A)) kicks a role other than the red 7 symbol. The symbol (corresponding to the winning combination) suggested by the internal winnings tempered to the non-winning line (see FIG. 2B) is drawn into the non-winning line (see FIG. 2B) of the right reel 350C. If you draw a symbol that suggests an internal winning, make sure that “Bell Bell Bell” is lined up on the non-winning line (see Fig. 2B) (not winning), so you will be alerted as a so-called reach. Can be done (see Table 7).

  The three reels 350A, 350B, and 350C are stopped and the notification effect processing routine is completed when a symbol (corresponding to a winning combination) suggesting an internal winning is aligned on the non-winning line (see FIG. 2B). .

  On the other hand, if a negative determination is made in step 430, the process proceeds to step 436. In step 436, when the player performs a stop operation of the stop button 356C, the process proceeds to step 438, and a prize is awarded within the range of the slip control. Only the line (see FIG. 2 (A)) kicks a role other than the red 7 symbol, and proceeds to step 440 (see Table 8).

  In step 440, the winning line (see FIG. 2A) and the non-winning line (see FIG. 2B) are stopped in a state where the same symbols are not aligned (see Table 9), and the three reels 350A, 350B, and 350C are stopped, and the notification effect processing routine ends. At this time, a so-called reach eye, which is a symbol peculiar to the red 7 symbol (big game) winning, may stop on the symbol variation unit 316. Therefore, it is possible to understand that the protagonist is elected to a well-known player who knows the reach even if the winning line and the non-winning line are not arranged.

  In step 404, if the red 7 symbol is not won, the process proceeds to step 442 as described above.

  In step 442, when the player performs the stop operation of the stop button 356A, the process proceeds to step 444, and within the range of the slip control, the winning line (see FIG. 2A) and the non-winning line (see FIG. 2A). The kicking in FIG. 2 (B) is performed, and the process proceeds to step 446 (see Table 10).

  In step 446, when the player performs the stop operation of the stop button 356B, the process proceeds to step 448, and within the range of the slip control, the winning line (see FIG. 2A) and the non-winning line (see FIG. 2A). As shown in FIG. 2 (B)), the winning combination is kicked, and the process proceeds to step 450 (see Table 11).

  In step 450, when the player performs a stop operation of the stop button 356C, the process proceeds to step 452, and within the range of the slip control, a winning line (see FIG. 2A) and a non-winning line (FIG. 2B). )) And the winning line (see FIG. 2A) and the non-winning line (see FIG. 2B) are not lined up through step 440 (see FIG. 2B). (See Table 12) The three reels 350A, 350B, 350C are stopped, and the notification effect processing routine ends.

  As described above, in the first embodiment, when the internal lottery is a major player (winning), the same symbol is displayed on the non-winning line to display the internal lottery (winning). Can increase the chances of knowing the progress of the game and the possibility of winning a prize without shifting the line of sight, and can determine the situation at any time. I can do it.

  In addition, the number of times of notifying the player of the results of the internal lottery is increased, and variations in the act of performing the gaming machine can be achieved by the effect using voice, electrical decoration, etc. I can do it.

  In the first embodiment, the red 7 symbols are used for the internal lottery (winning) using the reel arrangement shown in Table 13 and the winning combination shown in Table 14. Is not limited to the examples.

  Also, with respect to the winning line (see FIG. 2A) and the non-winning line (see FIG. 2B), the lines (1) to (4) and FIG. 2 (B) in FIG. Of the lines (5), any line may be a winning line or a non-winning line, and the non-winning line is not limited to the position of the line (5) in FIG.

(Second Embodiment)
Hereinafter, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the second embodiment, the same components as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description of the configuration is omitted.

  The second embodiment corresponds to claims 5 to 11, and the feature is based on the game specification of the non-winning line as an example of utilization (use) different from the first embodiment. When certain kinds of symbols are arranged on the non-winning line, it is configured so that certain kinds of roles are arranged on the winning line at the same time. And, when a predetermined symbol is aligned on the non-winning line, and at the same time, a bonus is given when a combination of symbols arranged in combination of different types of predetermined symbols is aligned on the winning line. Further, as shown in Table 18 described later, when a predetermined symbol is arranged on the non-winning line, the reel tape has a predetermined symbol arrangement so that a predetermined combination on the winning line is won at the same time. Furthermore, when a predetermined pattern is aligned on the non-winning line and a predetermined winning combination is won on the winning line at the same time, the number of payouts of the predetermined winning combination is larger than the payout amount when other small winnings are awarded, and the bonus is reduced. The role of the role is given.

  Note that the privilege in the second embodiment is a predetermined number of RTs (replay time) or “increase in the number of payouts”. As the replay winnings increase, the lottery can be repeated without digesting the medals, and as a result, a profit equivalent to a high probability of a substantial winning probability can be obtained. Further, if the number of payouts increases, it will be advantageous to the player accordingly.

  The control function for executing the above game specifications is the same as in FIG.

  In the second embodiment, as shown in Table 15 below, the types of roles that can be won in the winning line shown in FIG. , "Replay + privilege" (hereinafter referred to as "first special role") and "small role (privilege)" (hereinafter referred to as "second special role") are set as special roles. .

  The privilege of the first special role is the grant of the predetermined number of times, and the meaning of the privilege of the second special role is given a larger number of payouts than when the symbols aligned with the non-winning line are aligned with the winning line. It is a point that has been.

  In addition, the privilege given to the special combination may be given not only replay and payout but also a simultaneous winning combination with another combination such as a big role.

  The first special role (“Bell Replay Bell”) is set so as to be aligned only with the downward-sloping winning line (3) shown in FIG. 2 (A). Even if there is a stop operation that seems to be in line with other winning lines, kicking is executed by the slip control.

  In addition, when the first special combination is aligned with the winning line (3), the reel tape symbol arrangement is set so that the same symbol “replay / replay / replay” is aligned with the non-winning line ( Table 16 and Table 18). At this time, the non-winning line is only a non-winning line, but the first special role is aligned with the winning line (3) at the same time, so that it becomes a pseudo role (in this case, replay) aligned with the non-winning line. In addition, a privilege of RT is given. That is, a special combination of other symbol arrangements in which a replay, a small role, a major role, or other privilege is given to the winning line as a right at the same time that a pseudo-role (in this case, replay) is arranged on the non-winning line It is configured so that the roles are aligned.

  On the other hand, the second special role (“Replay Bell Replay”) is set so as to be aligned only with the upward winning line (4) shown in FIG. 2 (A). Even if there is an internal win or there is a stop operation that seems to be in line with other winning lines, the kick control is executed by the slip control.

  In addition, when the second special combination is aligned with the winning line (4), the reel tape symbol arrangement is set so that the same symbol "Bell Bell Bell" is aligned with the non-winning line ( (See Table 17). At this time, the non-winning line is only a non-winning line, but the second special role is aligned with the winning line (4) at the same time. A lot of payouts (8 medals for the bell role and 15 medals for the second special role) and a bonus are awarded. That is, at the same time that a pseudo role (here, 8 small roles “Bell Bell Bell”) is arranged on the non-winning line, replays, small roles, big roles, etc., or other benefits as rights It is configured so that special roles of other symbol arrangements to be given are arranged. The special role may be a role having a right such as a privilege, a replay, a small role, or a major role, or may be a combination of these as in the above embodiment. In addition, it is not always necessary for the special role to have the right of the role originally possessed by the non-winning line as in each of the above embodiments. For example, when the re-playing role is arranged on the non-winning line, However, when the big players are aligned on the simultaneous winning and non-winning lines, the winning line may have another right such as the simultaneous winning of another big player. However, it is preferable that the right to be obtained by the player is higher than that of the pseudo-combination aligned with the non-winning line because the game is unexpectedly unexpected.

  Table 18 shows the arrangement of symbols on the reel tape that can realize the playability by the combination of the first special combination and the second special combination and the symbols arranged on the non-winning line.

  Hereinafter, according to the flowchart of FIG. 7, based on the game specifications in the second embodiment, the symbol array that stops at the winning line (see FIG. 2A) and the non-winning line (see FIG. 2B) The notification effect processing routine will be described.

  First, in step 500 of FIG. 7, the game is started by the player operating the start lever operation 354.

  In step 502, an internal lottery is executed by an operation of the start lever 354 by the player.

  Next, in step 504, it is determined whether or not the result of the internal lottery wins the first winning combination or the second winning combination.

  If a negative determination is made in step 504, the process proceeds to step 506, where the player operates the stop button 356A to stop the first reel reel (generally, the left reel 350A). .

  When the player performs a stop operation of the stop button 356A in step 506, the process proceeds to step 508, and within the range of the slip control, the first special role symbol or the winning line on the winning line (3). (4) The second special role symbol kicking up (slip control) is executed, and the routine proceeds to step 516.

  If the determination in step 504 is affirmative, the process proceeds to step 510 where the player operates the stop button 356A to stop the first reel (generally, the left reel 350A). .

  When the player performs a stop operation of the stop button 356A in step 510, the process proceeds to step 512, and the first special role symbol on the pay line (3) or the second special character on the pay line (4). The special role symbol drawing (slip control) is executed, and the routine proceeds to step 514.

  In step 514, it is determined whether or not the first special role symbol or the second special role symbol has been pulled in. If a negative determination is made, the process proceeds to step 516.

  In Step 516, the player operates the stop button 356B to stop the second reel reel (generally, the middle reel 350B).

  When the player performs the stop operation of the stop button 356B in step 516, the process proceeds to step 518, and within the range of the slip control, the first special role symbol or the winning line on the winning line (3). (4) The second special role symbol is kicked up (slip control), and the process proceeds to step 526.

  If the determination in step 514 is affirmative, the process proceeds to step 520, where the player operates the stop button 356B to stop the second drum reel (generally, the middle reel 350B). .

  When the player performs the stop operation of the stop button 356B in step 520, the process proceeds to step 522, and the first special role symbol on the pay line (3) or the second special character on the pay line (4). The special role symbol drawing (slip control) is executed, and the routine proceeds to step 524.

  In step 524, it is determined whether or not the first special role symbol or the second special role symbol has been pulled in. If a negative determination is made, the process proceeds to step 526.

  In step 526, the player operates the stop button 356C to stop the third drum reel (generally, the right reel 350C).

  When the player performs the stop operation of the stop button 356C in step 526, the process proceeds to step 528, and within the range of the slip control, the first special role symbol on the winning line (3) or the winning line (4) The second special role symbol kicking up (slip control) is executed, and this routine ends.

  If the determination in step 524 is affirmative, the process proceeds to step 530 where the player operates the stop button 356C to stop the third drum reel (generally, the right reel 350C). .

  When the player performs a stop operation of the stop button 356C in step 530, the process proceeds to step 532 and the first special role symbol on the pay line (3) or the second special character on the pay line (4). The special role symbol drawing (slip control) is executed, and the routine proceeds to step 534.

  In step 534, it is determined whether or not the first special role symbol or the second special role symbol has been drawn. That is, at this time, it is determined whether or not the first special combination or the second special combination has won a prize, and if the determination is affirmative, the process proceeds to step 536 and the first special combination or the second special combination is performed. This is the end of the routine. If the determination at step 534 is negative, this routine ends.

  Here, in the relative position of the symbol group provided on the reel tape applied to the game specifications of the second embodiment, when the first special combination or the second special combination wins, the non-winning line is automatically set. (See FIG. 2 (B)), the same design is aligned.

  More specifically, when the first special role (“Bell Replay Bell”) is aligned with the winning line (3) (see Table 16), a pseudo-replay symbol (“Replay / Replay” is added to the non-winning line.・ Replay ”) is available at the same time. However, the pseudo replay symbols are only arranged on the non-winning line, not winning, and winning is only the first special role of the winning line (3).

  At this time, the player can recognize that the first special role composed of different types of symbols is prepared by the symbol arrangement of the center line (non-winning line) that is most visible, and this pseudo You can get a profit more than a simple symbol arrangement (replay + privilege).

Next, when the second special role (“Replay Bell Replay”) is aligned with the winning line (4) (see Table 17), a small role symbol (“Bell Bell Bell”) is added to the non-winning line. ) At the same time. However, the pseudo bell (eight-payout) symbol is merely aligned with the non-winning line, not winning, and winning is only the second special part of the winning line (4).

At this time, the player can recognize that the second special role composed of different types of symbols has been prepared by the symbol arrangement of the center line (non-winning line) that is most easily viewable, and this pseudo A profit more than a simple symbol arrangement can be obtained (15 payouts (8 payouts + 7 bonus payouts )).

  As described above, in the second embodiment, the non-winning line is configured as a standard (symbol) for winning a special combination (the first special combination and the second special combination).
