DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a game system in which game media (medals, balls, etc.) are inserted, a reel (reel) composed of a plurality of types of patterns is moved (rotated), and when it stops, a reel pattern is displayed. The present invention relates to a gaming table (slot machine, pachinko, game machine, etc.) in which a prize is determined from a combination of pictures stopped on a window and a player enjoys refunding a predetermined game medium.

2. Description of the Related Art Taking a slot machine as an example, a conventional slot machine has a plurality of different types of patterns arranged on reels, for example, three reels, and rotates all reels simultaneously at the start of a game. Next, when all reels are stopped, by the combination of pictures between each reel,
A prize is determined, and medals or the like are paid out according to the prize.

In recent years, slot machines are widely known in which bonuses such as bonus games in which many medals can be obtained are set as rules so that players can play games with expectations.

[0003] The bonus game bonus is that a predetermined number of medals are paid out when the combination of pictures between the reels becomes, for example, "7-7-7" when the reels stop. Then, the predetermined number of games thereafter becomes a high probability state, and the player is given an opportunity to obtain many medals.

Although this bonus game is a good opportunity for a player to obtain a large number of medals, the probability of entering the bonus game is low, so that even if the player plays a very large number of games at all, There was no prize, and conversely, when there was a prize, there was a variance that a bonus game was continuously won at short game intervals.

In recent slot machines, the game is started using a microcomputer (CPU) so that all winning combinations including a losing game are generated evenly without variation, that is, the payout rate is almost constant. At the same time, control is generally performed to determine a combination of pictures that may win.

In the slot machine driven by the control of the CPU, an internal lottery is performed at the same time as a player starts a game and operates a start lever, and when the lottery is won (internal winning), an internal winning is performed. Is determined, and a so-called effect of actively informing the player as internal winning information is performed. Also,
A pseudo-internal prize notification is given to give a sense of expectation and prevent the player from playing the game.

[0007] Specific types of effects include those based on reach eyes, which will be described later, and those that provide an effect that allows the player to enjoy the game by using lighting / flashing of backlights and lamps and sound effects. is there.

[0008] The main timing of the effect in the game is when the start lever is operated or each reel is stopped. Usually, these effect types are used alone or in combination. Also, the effect is similarly performed once or a plurality of times at different timings.

The effect in the conventional slot machine is completed in one game, or is performed between games that are continuously performed, such as when an announcement lamp is activated and turned on. Even if it is a thing, there is no change, and the contents related to the same internal state are produced with no relation to each other.

[0010] Therefore, for example, even if an effect with a sense of expectation to shift to the bonus game is made, the effect is finished in the next game, and the bonus winning expectation disappears, or the bonus game is suddenly won. However, there is a disadvantage that the player feels uncomfortable, or there is little effect of increasing the player's expectation of winning a bonus due to an effect that does not change as in the operation of the notification lamp.

[0011]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve such problems of the prior art, and the problem to be solved by the present invention is that a player plays a game. It is an object of the present invention to provide a game console in which an effect that can gradually have a sense of expectation for a bonus prize is made.

That is, when a game is played, an effect starts at a certain time, and the effect changes continuously over a plurality of games, and shows a pattern related to each other. There is a need to provide a gaming table that can be expected and that allows the player to enjoy the process of finally shifting to the bonus game when winning inside the bonus.

The effect of the present invention (hereinafter, referred to as “continuous effect”) is a notice that has a different content and is mutually related to expect a bonus prize between a plurality of consecutive games. By performing this continuous effect on the player, it is possible to give the player an expectation for a bonus prize.

[0014]

The present invention has been made to solve this problem, and according to the present invention,
A plurality of reels composed of a plurality of types of pictures are provided, a plurality of rows of reels are provided, a game medium is loaded, and a plurality of rows of reels are started to be moved on the reel picture display window by a game start operation, and at the same time, whether or not a prize is won by an internal lottery of the control unit. Is determined, and in response to the stop operation corresponding to each reel, each reel is controlled and stopped so as to display a predetermined pattern combination based on the internal lottery on the reel pattern display window, and the stopped reel pattern display window is stopped. A gaming table that determines a prize from a combination of the above patterns and pays out a predetermined number of game media, and includes a function of performing a continuous effect that has a different content and is interconnected over a plurality of continuous games. It is characterized by the following.

Further, the continuous production is started at least before the operation of the notification lamp for notifying that the bonus has been internally won.

[0016] Further, the continuous production is a production in which the production content of the current game is derived from at least the production content of the previous game, or the production content of the previous game and the inside of the game console in the previous game. The effect is one of the effects in which the effect of the current game is derived from the information.

Further, continuous production is performed when a predetermined number of games have passed from a game in which a bonus has not been internally awarded by a lottery, a game in which a bonus has been internally awarded, a game in which a bonus has been internally awarded, and The game is started at least one of timings of winning by lottery after the winning game.

Further, in the case of the continuous production when the bonus is internally won, the data table for controlling at least the number of sliding frames of the reel stop control with the progress of the game or the control for stopping the reel is controlled. There are multiple data tables that have few reach eyes on the bonus pattern, and data tables that clearly indicate that the bonus has been internally won. The data with few reach eyes on this bonus pattern as the game progresses The control is started by any one of the control using the table and the control using the data table in which it is known that the internal prize is surely won inside the bonus.

Further, in the case of the continuous production in the case where the bonus has not been internally won, the data table for performing at least the control of increasing the number of sliding frames of the reel stop control with the progress of the game or the control for stopping the reel is provided. A plurality of data tables are provided in stages from a data table in which the reach eyes related to the bonus pattern hardly appear to a data table in which a chance eye appears although it is expected that the bonus is internally won, but it is not certain whether or not the bonus is internally won.
As the game progresses, the control using a data table that rarely shows the reach of the bonus pattern appears.From the control, it is expected that the bonus is sequentially won internally, but it is not certain that the bonus is internally won. The control is started by any one of the controls using up to the data table in which the eyes appear.

Still further, the continuous production is characterized by being a continuous production by at least one of an image display device, a sound effect generator, a vibration generator device and a light emitting device.

Further, by providing a gaming machine characterized by being a slot machine having the above-mentioned features, the problem to be solved by the present invention can be achieved.

<Explanation of Terms> Some special terms used in the embodiments of the present invention will be described below.

"Vita push" means that a player visually operates a stop button when a picture to be stopped passes a predetermined position in order to stop a certain picture at a predetermined position. The stop button is operated by the "reel stop control" and the "number of sliding pieces" player (by the control unit of the game console).
When stopping the reels, it is necessary to control the pattern corresponding to the flag indicating the winning combination such as a bonus or to control the stop position of the reel so as not to align the combinations where the flag is not established. Say. In general, when a flag for a certain winning combination is established, it is possible to align the symbols constituting the winning combination by pressing the pattern.
Even if the stop button is operated when the corresponding picture is located four pictures before the winning line, the reel can be advanced by "4" pictures by the reel stop control to win the corresponding picture. In this case, the number of sliding frames is “4”.

"Establishment and Holding of Flag" When the internal winning combination is determined by random selection of random numbers generated by the random number generator, it is said that the flag has been established, and the flag is internally set (set). Then, when the predetermined winning combination flag is established,
Depending on the operation timing of the stop button by the player, the corresponding combination can be aligned on the activated pay line.

Note that only in the case where a flag relating to a bonus pattern is established or the like, the flag-established normal state is maintained in games subsequent to the game in which the flag is established until a winning combination of the applicable patterns is completed. You will be given the opportunity to win a bonus. This is called "flag holding".

When the flag of a certain winning combination is established (internal winning state), it means that the player cannot align the winning combination on the activated pay line. Here, if a certain winning combination is a small combination, the flag is not retained after the next game, so that the player loses a medal acquisition opportunity.

"Difference counter" is a counter for counting the difference between the number of medals to be inserted into the gaming table by the player and the number of medals paid out by winning, and the value of this counter is set to a predetermined value. Upon reaching, the game state has a function of transitioning between a “high probability” state and a “low probability” state, for example, with respect to winning of a small role.

More specifically, even if an internal prize has been won, the number of cases in which the corresponding winning combination cannot be aligned increases, and when the counter value reaches a predetermined value, the game state is determined by the "difference counter". Becomes the "high probability state", the winning probability of the small role increases, and the medal loss of the small role that was previously lost is corrected (relieved). In the “high probability state”, when the number of winnings increases and the payout medals increase, the value of the counter reaches a predetermined value, and the state shifts to the “low probability state” of the small winning combination.

<Table Method in Retraction Control> Several types of stop pattern data (data tables) are prepared in advance, and these tables are referred to according to the situation. A method of reel control that performs "reel stop control" based on the number of sliding frames.

In the game in which the "reach eye" is awarded, if the combination of the corresponding patterns is not aligned, a predetermined combination different from the normal pattern is displayed on the reel pattern display window, and the "reel stop control" is performed. To inform the "reach eyes" player. When the player sees the reach eye regarding the bonus prize, the player presumes that it is in the bonus internal prize state, and presses the stop button (striking) so that the bonus symbol is aligned on the reel symbol display window.

<Outline of Game Operation> An outline of a game using the slot machine shown in FIG. 1 will be described below.

The game starts when the player enters the medal slot 1
The game starts when a medal is inserted from 18 and the start lever 126 is operated.

When the game starts, three reels 10
After the rotation of the reels 1, 102, and 103 starts and the rotation speed of each reel reaches a predetermined speed, the operation of the stop buttons 123 to 125 provided corresponding to each reel is enabled. Presses these buttons to stop the rotation of the corresponding reels.

When each of the reels 101 to 103 stops,
If the combination of pictures stopped on the activated pay line determined by the number of inserted medals corresponds to a predetermined winning combination, the number of medals according to the type of winning is received in the receiving tray 1.
One payout at 29 ends the game.

<General Game Progress> FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the progress of the general game of the slot machine as described above. Hereinafter, a flow of a game of a general slot machine using three reels will be described with reference to FIG. The same applies to other slot machines having a plurality of reels.

Step S101: (medal insertion) Depending on the player's selection, one to three game medals are inserted from the medal insertion slot 118, or a credit bet button (medal up to three button 119, medal up to two) Button 120 and one button for hanging one medal 121). At this time, the activated line display lamp 114 is turned on in accordance with the number of game medals to be dropped, thereby notifying (displaying) to the player that the game can be played.
If there is no medal insertion, the process waits until a medal is inserted in a loop.

Step S102: (Start lever O
N) When the start lever 126 is operated, the start lever sensor 14 is turned on, and the main CPU 10 detects the acceptance of the start operation and starts the game. Step S103: (Random number lottery) Simultaneously with the operation of the start lever 126 by the player, the control unit obtains a random number value from the random number generator 11,
A winning table stored in the OM 18 is compared, and an internal winning is determined. The types of the internal prize include a bonus game such as BB and RB, each type of small win, and a loss.

Step S104: (Information 1 of internal information) Since the type of the internal prize is determined in step S103,
The information is reported in consideration of the reliability. Here, the means for informing includes lamps such as a backlight, sound effects, an image display device, and the like. When a bonus is internally won, a notification lamp may be used for notification.

Step S105: (Rotation of all reels) Rotation of all reels 101, 102 and 103 is started.

Step S106: (Operation of Stop Button on First Reel) The player operates one of the stop buttons 123 to 125 to stop the corresponding reel.

Step S107: (First Reel Rotation Stop) In step S106, the reel corresponding to the stop button operated by the player stops rotating.

Step S108: (Notification of internal information
2) Notify the internal winning information as in step S104. Alternatively, for example, when a pattern constituting an internal winning combination appears on the activated winning line of the stopped first reel, it is possible to produce an effect such as turning on and blinking a backlight in a sense of increasing expectation. it can.

Step S109: (Operation of Stop Button on Second Reel) The player operates a stop button corresponding to a reel selected by the player among the two reels being rotated.

Step S110: (Stopping Reel Rotation) In step S109, the rotation of the reel corresponding to the stop button operated by the player is stopped.

Step S111: (Notification of internal information
3) Notify the internal winning information as in step S104. Alternatively, for example, when the combination of the patterns constituting the winning combination is in the reach state, a staging effect such as emitting a special sound effect can be provided to notify the player of the state.

Step S112: (Stop Button Operation of Third Reel) The player operates the stop button corresponding to one rotating reel.

Step S113: (Third Reel Rotation Stop) In step S112, the reel corresponding to the stop button operated by the player stops rotating.

Step S114: (Winning Determination) It is determined whether or not a combination of pictures corresponding to a winning is aligned on an effective winning line. That is, a combination of pictures corresponding to a prize is stored in the ROM 1 as a prize table.
8, the winning table is compared with the combination of the patterns on the winning lines.
A winning determination is made. Here, if a prize has been won, the process proceeds to step S115, and if not, the process proceeds to step S116.

In the above description, a case in which a winning is determined based on a plurality of pictures is described as "combination of pictures". For example, only one picture represented by a "cherry" picture is won. In this case, the winning determination is performed in the same manner.

Step S115: (medal payout) As a result of the winning determination in step S114, a predetermined number of medals corresponding to the type of winning are paid out to the medal tray 129 from the medal payout opening 128.

Step S116: (Notification of internal information
4) Notify the internal winning information as in step S104. Alternatively, as an example, it is possible to perform an effect such as notification of information regarding a winning combination that has been missed or notification using a special sound effect when a bonus pattern is prepared.

Note that the internal information notifications 1 to 4 are as follows.
It is not always necessary to notify all in one game,
It goes without saying that the notification can be made at any timing other than the notification of the internal information 1 to 4.

<Progress of Game in Embodiment of the Present Invention> The continuous production in the slot machine of the embodiment of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to two examples.

In the first example, the effect performed in the currently executed game is a continuous effect 1 (linked effect) in which the effect is derived from the effect contents performed in the previous game.
Is shown.

In the following example, continuous effect 2 (interlocked effect) in which the content of the effect performed in the current game is determined from the effect content performed in the previous execution of the game and the internal information of the game console. Is shown.

(Continuous production 1) The continuous production 1 is a continuous production 1 in which the production performed in the currently executed game is derived from the contents of the production performed in the previous game.
This is an example of (linkage effect), which will be described in detail below using the control flow of FIG.

The flowchart in FIG. 5 is different from the flowchart in FIG. 5 except that the notification of the internal information is performed only after the random number drawing.
Since it is the same as FIG. 4, the overlapping part (S101 to S1
03 = S201 to S203, S105 to S107 = S2
05 to S207, S109 to S110 = S208 to S2
09, S112 to S115 = S210 to S213), and only step S204 (corresponding to the position of step S104 in FIG. 4) will be described.

Step S204: (Information of Internal Information) When the continuous effect has been started, the content of the effect performed in the current game is determined by lottery based on the content of the continuous effect performed in the previous game. When the continuous effect is not performed, an effect similar to that of the conventional game progress flowchart shown in FIG. 4 can be performed.

Here, the types of continuous effects to be notified and the contents of the effects will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7. FIG.

[0110] The effect contents of the continuous effect 1 change depending on the game state (A, B) shown in FIG. Here, in this example, the gaming state “A” is a bonus internal winning state, and the gaming state “B” is a bonus internal non-winning state.

Also, as shown in FIG. 6, the effect of the previous game is shown in FIG. 6, in the case of the game state A, no effect, E1, E2,
E3, E4, in the case of the game state B, no effect, E
In order to produce in the current game as 1, E2 and E3, the present production is determined by the lottery among E1, E2, E3 and E4 based on the production result of the previous game, without the “draft effect”.

As shown in FIG. 7,
"E1", "E2", "E3", which are the types of continuous production
Is to turn on or off the backlight corresponding to 3 × 3 = 9 pictures on the reel picture display window. In FIG. 7, “square” indicates a lighting state, and “square filled in black” indicates a non-lighting state. For example, a pattern such as "E1" is turned on / off for a player for about 850 milliseconds.
It is sufficient that the display is turned off, and the effect “E4” is an operation (lighting) of the notification lamp.

In the effect to be drawn in FIG. 6, "double circle", "circle", and "cross" each indicate a lottery probability at which an effect is selected, and "x" has a lottery probability of "0". It means that the effect is not selected. “Double circle” and “circle” have lottery probabilities greater than 0 and less than 1. In addition, the degree of the lottery probability of “double circle” and “maru” is 0 <
(Lottery probability of "maru") <(lottery probability of "double circle") <1
It is.

Next, the display contents of the continuous effect in the gaming state “A” (during the bonus internal winning state) will be described.

First, if the player is currently playing the n-th game and the effect in the (n−1) th game is not performed, the effect in the n-th game will be described in FIG. ”, Look at the horizontal axis of“ No production ”, and produce“ E1 ”,
One of "E2", "E3", "E4" or "no effect" is selected by lottery. Among them, the probability that the effect “E1” is selected is higher than the probability that another effect (including “no effect”) is selected. If “E1” is selected as a result of the lottery, the effect in the nth game is “E1”, and a continuous effect is started here.

Next, when the effect “E1” is selected in the nth game, the effects in the (n + 1) th game are the effects “E1”, “E2”, “E3”, “ E4 "
, Or “No effect” is selected by lottery, and the probability that the effect “E2” is selected is higher than the probability that another effect (including “No effect”) is selected. For example, here, "E2" is selected by lottery as an effect in the (n + 1) th game, and an effect is performed.

Hereinafter, the effects selected by lottery after the (n + 2) game will be considered based on the probability.
The effect of the (n + 2) th game is selected in the order of “E3”, and the effect of the (n + 3) th game is selected in the order of “E4”.

As described above, the change in the content of the effect in the “game state A” is generally “no effect” → “E1” →
“E2” → “E3” → “E4”, and finally the notification lamp is activated to notify the player of the bonus internal winning state. In the above description, the case where the effect is selected based on the probability has been described. In addition, as another example where the low probability is selected, for example, “no effect” → “E1” → “E
There is also a case where the player is notified of the bonus internal winning state by following a route such as “2” → “no effect” → “E3” → “E4”.

As described above, according to the present invention, in a plurality of continuous games, when different types of effects are successively performed in a predetermined order with relevance as described above, Can be played while enjoying the game with the expectation of winning a bonus.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6, the display effect of the continuous effect in the gaming state “B” (when the bonus is not won) does not select the effect “E4”. This means that the notification lamp is not activated because the bonus flag is not established. However, even in such a non-winning state inside the bonus, by performing the above-described continuous effect, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation of the bonus prize. It is an example within the range.

In the present embodiment, the description of the continuous production in the lighting / light-out state using a backlight has been described with reference to FIG. 7. However, this is an example, and a variety of lighting / flashing / light-off states are described. It goes without saying that it can be used. In addition, the continuous production should be performed using lamps other than the backlight, an image display device, a vibration generating device that applies vibration to the operation unit of the game console, or a device that can appeal to the senses of the player such as voice. Can be.

In the above example, the effect content to be performed in the next game is selected by lottery. For example, “E1” →
As in the case of “E2” → “E3” → “E4”, a method may be used in which the content of the continuous production performed in the continuous game is fixed independently of the lottery and uniquely determined.

(Continuous production 2) The continuous production 2 is a continuous production (interlocking production) that determines the contents of the production performed in the current game from the contents of the production performed in the previous execution of the game and the internal information of the game console. ) Is an example. Hereinafter, the control flow (only the continuous production) of the example of the continuous production 2 will be described in detail using the control flow shown in FIG. In this example, the insertion of a medal, the operation of a start lever, the operation of a stop button, and the like will be omitted. In addition, it goes without saying that the continuous production of this example may be incorporated into the game at any timing.

Step S301: (Lottery Winning?) A lottery is performed to determine whether or not to start a continuous production. The lottery can be performed using a random number lottery for determining an internal winning combination or a separately provided random number lottery for a continuous effect. When the lottery is won, the process proceeds to step S303 to start the continuous production. On the other hand, if the lottery has not been won, the process proceeds to step S302.

Step S302: (Bonus internal prize?) Even if the lottery is not won, if the bonus internal prize is won, the continuous production is started as in the case of the lottery. Here, if no bonus internal prize has been won, the continuous production is not started.

Step S303: (“Level 1” Effect) A continuous effect of “Level 1” is started, and the corresponding image is displayed on the liquid crystal. As a specific example, a scene is shown in which a large cruise ship departs from Japan's port to Paris, the final destination, via Hawaii, New York, and London.

Step S304: (Small Winner Winning?) When a small win with a small number of payout medals is internally won in the game in which the image of “Level 1” is displayed, “Level 1” is continued in the next game. Is displayed. This is because it is appropriate to perform one continuous game more than one game in consideration of one game spent by the player for winning a small role, and if the same level of continuous production is performed, the player is notified of the previous game. Is based on the reason for giving information that the player has been in the small win.

Steps S305 to S310: Steps S305, 307 and 309 are the same as step S303 except that the contents displayed on the liquid crystal screen differ depending on the "level".
Steps 308 and 310 perform the same processing as step S304. The contents displayed on the liquid crystal screen at “levels 2 to 4” are as follows. "Level 2": Cruise ship arriving in Hawaii "Level 3": Cruise ship arriving in New York "Level 4": Cruise ship arriving in London Step S311: Bonus internal prize? It is determined whether or not the bonus has been internally won. If the bonus has been internally won, the process proceeds to step S312. On the other hand, if the bonus has not been internally won, for example, the cruise ship may be sinking or distressing. To stop the continuous production.

Step S312: Production of "Level 5" A scene of arrival at a suburb of Paris, which is the final destination of the cruise ship, is displayed on a liquid crystal screen, and information indicating that a bonus has been internally won is notified to the player. At this time, "Bonus win!"
! "May be displayed. Further, the types of bonuses (RB, BB, etc.) that have been internally won may be displayed on the liquid crystal screen.

Step S313: Winning in a small role? The same processing as in step S304 is performed.

Step S314: Notification lamp turned on? The notification lamp is activated and it is determined whether it is in a state of lighting, blinking, etc.If the notification lamp is activated,
Proceeding to step S315, if not activated, returning to step S312, the effect "level 5" is repeated again.

Step S315: End of Consecutive Effects In step S314, the announcement lamp has been activated, and the bonus internal winning state has been determined.

Step S316: Bonus prize? In the game, it is determined whether a combination of bonus pictures such as “7-7-7” is aligned on the activated pay line,
If they are aligned, the process proceeds to step S317. If the combination of the bonus patterns is not completed, step S316 is repeated until the combination is completed.

Step S317: Payout of medals A predetermined number of medals are paid out to the player by a bonus prize.

Step S318: Bonus Winning Effect An effect for informing the player that a bonus has been won is executed. Specifically, the game is energized by display on the liquid crystal screen, generation of sound effects and vibrations, lighting and blinking of lamps, and the like, and a notification is given to enhance the sense of superiority. After that, control for executing a state in which a winning can be achieved with a high probability only for a predetermined number of games is started.

In the above example, in order to determine the contents of the continuous effect, the small winning combination winning information in the previous game was used, but other than this, the state of the difference number counter (high probability , Low probability), the actual winning status of the small role, the type of the winning small role, and the like can be appropriately calculated to determine the content of the continuous effect.

Further, here, the value of the “level” is increased with the progress of the game. However, in order to further increase the sense of expectation of the game, it is necessary to temporarily lower the “level” during the continuous production. It can also be displayed on the LCD screen.

In the flowchart of FIG. 8, the continuous production starts at “level 1”. However, depending on the type of the bonus flag that has been established, for example, the continuous production immediately starts at “level 2” or “level 3”. It may be started.

[0139] In addition, the increase of the value of the level corresponds to the continuous production 2
May be executed after one game elapses, or may be executed every other time, for example, every time a predetermined number of games elapse.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail, it goes without saying that the present invention further includes the following items.

(1) The continuous performance is notified using the backlight and the liquid crystal. However, other effects such as sound effects such as voice synthesis, a vibration device, a seven-segment display, etc. can appeal to the human senses. There is no particular limitation as long as they are provided, and these devices can be combined. As a specific example, when the sound effect is used, the “E1” state in the continuous effect 1 is changed to “Doremi”, “E”
In the case where the “2” state is the same as “Faso” of the scale, the “E3” state is “Rashi”, or a lamp is used, three lamps “E1” below the notification lamp as indicators are
A method of arranging “E2” and “E3” and lighting indicator lamps corresponding to the type of effect, or changing the degree of vibration of the operation unit according to the type of effect when using a vibration device. Is mentioned.

(2) The timing for starting the continuous production is as follows: (a) the game selected by lottery when the bonus inside is not won, (b) the game in which the bonus has been internally won, and (c) the bonus internal winning game. A game selected by lottery in the game after the predetermined number of games elapses, and (d) games after the bonus internal winning game.

(3) The type of continuous production, the set number of “levels”, and the probability of occurrence of the continuous production can be arbitrarily set in view of the purpose of increasing the expectation of the game.

(4) Under the bonus internal winning state,
When the continuous production is started, there is a case where a bonus is won at a stage before the continuous production is finished, and the game may have a lack of interest. Therefore, the following method can be employed to avoid such inconveniences and to construct game characteristics so as to win a bonus game after the end of the continuous production.

As a first method, in the initial stage of the continuous production, the “number of sliding frames” is controlled so that the bonus pattern can be aligned only by “bitter pressing”. In this case, since it is quite difficult to align all the patterns for every three reels by "bitter pushing", "missing" often occurs. Then, as the continuous production level advances, the “slip number of frames” of the reel stop control is gradually increased, that is, the bonus picture pull-in rate is changed from “bad to good”. This technique makes it easier to draw the bonus pattern onto the activated pay line gradually, so that many players will achieve the bonus prize after the end of the continuous production.

As another method, a plurality of reel control data tables to be used in the continuous production are prepared, and the content of each of them is such that, despite the fact that the inside of the bonus is won, almost no reach eyes related to the bonus picture appear. The control is performed by using “variable eyes”, “chance eyes” that are expected to receive a bonus internal prize but are not sure whether or not a bonus internal prize is won, and “iron plate eyes” that indicate that the bonus internal prize is reliably received.

Here, for example, the data table of “barley eyes” is used in the initial stage of the continuous production, the data table of “chance eyes” is used in the middle of the continuous production, and the data table of “iron plate” is used in the latter half of the continuous production. Have a change, such as using Then, the player cannot easily determine the winning flag in the early middle stage in which the continuous production is being performed, so that it is difficult to recognize that the player has internally won the bonus. Therefore, under the bonus internal prize state, in order to construct the game characteristics so as to win the bonus game after the end of the continuous production, either one of these two methods is employed, or a combination thereof is used. Many changes can be made.

(5) The timing for performing the continuous production is
It can be performed at any timing other than that shown in the flowchart. As an example, when individual reels stop, when all reels stop, timing that does not hinder the game, or a combination of a plurality of these timings may be used.

(6) The continuous effect described in the continuous effect 1 and the continuous effect 2 is performed in the game before the activation of the bonus notification lamp, but may be performed regardless of the operation of the notification lamp. Furthermore, in order to increase the sense of expectation of the game, it is also possible to perform a continuous effect during the bonus.

(7) In the embodiment of the present invention,
Although the effect is controlled so that the effect content changes each time one game ends, the present effect is not limited to this. For example, in several consecutive games, the same effect is maintained or notified, or
Performed multiple times in the game, "Level 2"
Also, a second-class notification such as “level 3” can be provided.

(8) In the embodiment of the present invention, the continuous effect has been described based on the establishment of the internal flag of the winning with the expectation of the bonus winning, but in the case where there is a winning combination capable of holding the flag other than the bonus. It goes without saying that a continuous production can be set for the winning combination as well.

As has been described in detail according to the embodiments of the present invention, according to the present invention, a function of performing a continuous effect having different contents and mutually related over a plurality of continuous games is provided. By providing a certain gaming table, it is possible to provide a gaming table that allows a player to play a game with a sense of expectation without leaving the game.

That is, according to the present invention, an effect is provided in which the effect of the previous game is derived from the effect of the previous game, or the effect of the previous game and the game in the previous game are performed. The player can increase the fun and expectation of the game by the continuous effect in which the effect contents in the current game are derived from the information inside the stand.

Taking the reel stop control as an example of a specific continuous production, if the bonus is internally won, the reel stop control is to increase the number of sliding frames in the reel stop control as the game progresses. The data table that controls the production and reel stop is changed from the data table where the reach eyes related to the bonus pattern hardly appear.
From the control using the data table in which the reach eyes related to the bonus pattern hardly appear sequentially with the progress of the game, a plurality of data tables are provided in a stepwise manner so that it can be known that the bonus has been internally won. There is a continuous effect of performing control using up to a data table that shows that a bonus is internally won.

Further, taking as an example the reel stop control in the case where the bonus has not been internally won, the number of sliding frames of the reel stop control is used to advance the game, similarly to the case where the bonus is internally won. Along with the continuous effect of performing control to increase the control and stopping the control in the middle, and the bonus of the data table where the player is expected to be internally awarded a bonus from the data table where few reach eyes on the bonus pattern appear A plurality of data tables are provided in stages with chances that are not certain whether or not a prize has been won. From the control using the data table in which the reach eyes related to the bonus pattern hardly appear as the game progresses, the bonus is sequentially reduced to a bonus. Although it is expected that an internal prize has been won, whether or not the bonus has been internally prized And controls the continuous production which chance eyes is not the actual uses to data table that appears, increase the expectation of winning of the player, it can be as interesting a game.

The continuous production according to the present invention is not only based on the reel stop control, but also as described above, such as an image display device (LCD, CRT, EL, an array of LEDs, etc.), a sound effect generator, and the like. Needless to say, the present invention can be implemented with a vibration generator device, a light emitting device, or the like.

The timing for starting the continuous production is as follows.
At the time of winning by lottery in a game that does not internally win the bonus, at the time of the game when the bonus is internally won,
For example, when a predetermined number of games have elapsed from the game in which the bonus is internally won, or when a lottery is won after the game in which the bonus is internally won.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail with reference to the slot machine, the present invention can also be applied to a gaming table provided with a rotating reel in a hitting game machine such as a pachinko or a game machine. Needless to say.

According to the present invention, in a plurality of continuous games, by performing effects having different contents and mutually related effects, the player is expected to win a bonus prize, Furthermore, it is possible to shift to a bonus prize without a sense of incongruity, and to provide a gaming machine with a high desire to play and a high expectation.
