Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a gaming machine,
More specifically, the present invention relates to a gaming machine capable of changing a maximum drawing probability of a symbol.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a gaming machine of this type, when a winning flag of a predetermined winning symbol is established, a player operates a stop switch to display the predetermined winning symbol on a predetermined effective winning line. The pull-in probability of being able to pull in and stop is determined by the so-called pushing skill of the player, except for a special symbol arrangement in which 100% pull-in can be performed even if a stop operation is performed at random. . Then, when the winning symbol is announced, the probability that, in theory, a person with perfect eye-catching skills can draw and stop the symbol with the winning flag established on the activated winning line,
That is, the maximum pull-in probability is one-half. Then, when the winning symbol is not notified and it is unknown which winning symbol has won, the pull-in probability of the symbol is the number of symbols of the winning symbol with respect to the total number of symbols on the circumference, and the number of symbols of the winning symbol. It is determined by the arrangement.

[0003] Here, a special symbol arrangement that can be pulled in 100% even if a stop operation is performed at random means that when a player operates a stop switch, a predetermined symbol is transferred to an effective pay line. When the number of so-called retractable symbols that can be pulled in and stopped is four, a specific winning symbol is arranged within four symbols over the entire circumference of the rotating reel. Thus, even if a stop operation is randomly performed by the stop switch at any position of the rotating reel, the predetermined symbol can be drawn to the activated pay line and stopped without being affected by the skill of the player. is there.

[0018]

Means for Solving the Problems (Features) The inventions described in the respective claims are made to achieve the above objects, and the features of the inventions are shown in the drawings. This will be described below using embodiments of the present invention.

The reference numerals in parentheses indicate the reference numerals used in the embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the technical scope of the present invention. Also, the drawing numbers indicate the drawing numbers used in the embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the technical scope of the present invention. (Claim 1) The invention according to claim 1 has the following features.

That is, the gaming machine (10) according to the present invention comprises a plurality of rotating reels (40) displaying a plurality of symbols (61) around it.
Controlling the rotational drive of the rotating reel (40),
A control device (2) for performing a lottery of the winning symbol (61) with a certain probability
0). Then, the control device (20), by aligning a plurality of winning symbols (61) on the active winning line,
The prize is set to be determined, and as the prize mode,
A plurality of special winning modes are provided in a part of the winning mode.

Then, the winning symbols between the special winning modes
When the combination of (61) is compared for each of the rotating reels (40),
The winning symbol (61) on one specific rotating reel (40) is:
Winning symbols on the remaining rotating reels (40) different from each other
(61) is set to be the same, and the winning pattern (61) in the special winning mode can be drawn simultaneously on the activated pay line by a stop operation on the specific one rotating reel (40). It is set so that there is no stop operation position.

The gaming machine (10) is a specific prize notifying device capable of notifying the player that a specific one of the special prize modes is winning, by explicitly indicating the specific one. (170). In addition, here, the "rotating reel (40)" is not limited to the one in which a plurality of symbols are displayed around the actual reel, but is displayed on a liquid crystal screen. Are included. Specifically, for example, by using a liquid crystal device provided in the center of the game board such as a pachinko machine, an image in which a rotating reel displaying a plurality of symbols around the image is displayed to the player by the liquid crystal device. This includes items that are displayed toward the user. Furthermore, this `` rotating reel (4
The number of “0)” is not limited to a specific number as long as it is plural, but may be two, three, four, or more.

Here, when the combination of the winning symbols of the special winning modes is compared for each of the rotating reels (40), the winning symbol on one specific rotating reel (40) is:
Different from each other, the winning symbols on the remaining rotating reels (40) are set so as to be the same '' means that a plurality of special winning modes are simultaneously won except for one specific rotating reel (40). The combination of winning symbols is set so as to be in a state of waiting for confirmation, that is, a so-called tempai state. Specifically, for example, the specific winning modes are “replay, replay, seven” and “replay, replay,
Jupiter '' and `` replay, replay, bar '', when three special winning modes such as are set, when comparing the combination of winning symbols for each rotating reel (40), the right rotating reel ( 45) The winning symbols above are different for "Seven", "Jupiter" and "Bar", and the winning symbols for the remaining left spinning reel (43) and center spinning reel (44) are the same for "Replay" This includes those that are set as follows. Of course, "multiple special winning modes"
Therefore, the number of special prize modes that are in the state of tempai,
The present invention is not limited to the above three, but may be two, four, or more.

Also, here, "there is no stop operation position on the specific one reel 40 which can draw the winning symbol in the special winning mode simultaneously on the activated pay line by the stop operation." When the player performs a stop operation of the specific one rotating reel (40), different winning symbols of a plurality of special winning modes arranged around the specific one rotating reel (40), At the same time, it means that there is no stop operation position on the rotating reel (40) that can be drawn on the activated pay line. Specifically, for example, the range of the retractable symbol is 4
In such a case, at least two of the prize symbols of the special prize modes different from each other, in the above example, among the prize symbols of “Seven”, “Jupiter”, and “Bar”, , Which are set so as not to be simultaneously present in the four ranges that can be pulled in. That is, the rotating reel (4
In all the stop positions of (0), "Seven" and "Jupiter" are not simultaneously present in the retractable range, "Seven" and "Bar" are not simultaneously present in the retractable range, "Jupiter" And "bar" are not simultaneously present in the retractable range, and "seven", "Jupiter" and "bar" are not simultaneously present in the retractable range. Specifically, in one specific spinning reel (40), the symbols in the special prize mode are separated from each other by at least the number of symbols (for example, four) within a drawable range.
0) are arranged on the circumference.

Also, here, the "special prize notifying device (17) capable of notifying the player that the specific one of the special prize modes has won a prize by explicitly indicating the specific one.
0) ", specifically, in the case of the above-described example, among the specific winning modes," Replay, Replay, Seven "," Replay, Replay, Jupiter ", and" Replay, Replay, Bar ". Of which, the winning symbol is, for example, the winning symbol is "Replay, Replay,
It includes those that clearly and specifically notify that it is "seven." (Operation) According to the present invention, the combination of the winning symbols in the plurality of special winning modes is the same except for the specific one rotating reel (40), so that the specific one rotating reel (40) is excluded. Since the stop symbols of the other rotating reels (40) are the winning symbols of the plurality of special winning modes, all of the plurality of special winning modes are in a state of waiting for a winning confirmation from the player, that is, a plurality of special winning modes. Each of the winning modes is in a tempered state.

And, the specific one of the rotating reels (40)
Does not have a stop operation position at which a winning symbol in a special winning mode can be simultaneously drawn on the activated pay line by a stop operation. For this reason, even if a person skilled in so-called eye-catching technology is not informed that a specific one of the special prize modes has been won by the specific prize notification device (170), a plurality of special prize winnings can be obtained. It is not possible to determine which of the winning symbols has won in the modes.

Therefore, when any of the plurality of special winning modes is in a state of waiting for a winning, ie, in a so-called tempai state,
A game having a new playability, in which the notification by the specific prize notifying device (170) is not performed, and a prize of any one of the special prize modes is predicted from among a plurality of special prize modes, and a push is performed. It can be performed. Then, when the notification by the specific winning notification device (170) is not performed, in theory, a skilled person who can perform perfect pushing can draw a winning symbol in a special winning mode on an effective winning line, a symbol pulling probability, so-called maximum The symbol pull-in probability can be reliably reduced as compared with the case where the notification is provided by the specific prize notification device (170), while the specific prize notification device (1
70), the maximum symbol attraction probability is
It can certainly be increased.

As described above, the so-called maximum symbol pull-in probability can be easily changed depending on whether or not the specific winning notification device (170) reports. As a result, the symbol pull-in probability, which usually changes only depending on the skill of the player's pressing, can be operated according to the presence or absence of the notification of the specific winning notification device (170), and the content of the game can be changed. Can be improved. (Claim 2) The invention according to claim 2 is the above-described claim 1.
In addition to the features of the invention described above, the following features are provided.

That is, as the special winning mode, the first
Special prize mode and a second special prize mode. The rotating reel (40) is formed in three pieces, and a combination of the winning symbol (61) in the first special winning mode and a combination of the winning symbol (61) in the second special winning mode is the rotating reel.
(40) When compared for each, the specific one of the rotating reels (4
The winning symbols (61) on the (0) are different from each other, and the winning symbols (61) on the remaining two rotating reels (40) are set to be the same.

And, the specific one rotating reel (40)
In the stop operation, a stop operation position at which the winning symbol (61) in the first special winning mode and the winning symbol (61) in the second special winning mode can be simultaneously drawn on the activated pay line by a stop operation. It is set not to exist. Then, the gaming machine (1
0) indicates a specific one of the first special prize mode and the second special prize mode in which a specific one of the first and second special prize modes can be notified to the player by explicitly indicating the specific one. A prize notification device (170) is provided.

In the present invention, the number of special winning modes in the example described in claim 1 is limited to two. Specifically, as shown in Table 2, the first special winning mode is This includes those that are set to “Replay, Replay, Seven” and the second special winning mode is set to “Replay, Replay, Jupiter”. Also, here, "the specific one spinning reel (40), by a stop operation, the winning symbol of the first special winning mode and the winning symbol of the second special winning mode are simultaneously activated. There is no retractable stop operation position on the line ", specifically, for example, when the range of the retractable symbol is set to four from the position where the stop operation was performed, First
There are no cases where two different winning symbols, “Seven” and “Jupiter”, which are different from each other in the special winning mode and the second special winning mode, are simultaneously present in the four drawable ranges. This includes those that are set as follows. In other words, this means that “Seven” and “Jupiter” do not simultaneously exist within the retractable range at all the stop positions of the rotating reel (40). (Operation) According to the present invention, the first special winning mode and the second
Since the combination of winning symbols with the special winning mode is the same except for one specific rotating reel (40), the remaining two rotating reels (40) excluding the specific one rotating reel (40) Is the same as the winning symbols of the first and second special winning modes, so that both the first special winning mode and the second special winning mode are won from the player's point of view. A state of waiting for confirmation, that is, a so-called tempai state.

Then, the specific one rotating reel (40)
Does not have a stop operation position at which a winning symbol in the first special winning mode and a winning symbol in the second special winning mode can be simultaneously drawn on the activated pay line by the stop operation. For this reason, as long as the special prize notification device (170) does not notify which of the special prize modes is a prize, even if it is a person skilled in so-called eye-catching technology, the first and second special It is not possible to determine which of the winning symbols has been won among the winning modes.

Therefore, when the two special prize modes are both in a state of waiting for prize confirmation, that is, in a so-called tempai state, the notification by the specific prize notification device (170) is not performed.
From the two special winning modes, a game having a new game property can be performed, in which a win is performed in anticipation of winning in one of the special winning modes. Then, when notifying by the specific prize notifying device (170), in theory, a skilled person who can perform perfect pushing can draw a prize symbol of a special prize mode on an effective prize line, a so-called maximum symbol drawing probability. The symbol pull-in probability can be surely reduced as compared with the case where notification is performed by the specific winning notification device (170). On the other hand, a specific winning notification device (170)
, The maximum pull-in probability of a winning symbol can be reliably increased.

As described above, the maximum symbol pull-in probability can be easily changed depending on whether or not the specific winning notification device (170) reports. As a result, the symbol pull-in probability, which usually changes only depending on the skill of the player's pressing, can be operated according to the presence or absence of the notification of the specific winning notification device (170), and the content of the game can be changed. Can be improved. (Claim 3) The invention according to claim 3 is the above-described claim 1.
Alternatively, in addition to the features of the invention described in claim 2, the following features are provided.

That is, in the gaming machine (10), one of the first special prize mode and the second special prize mode does not clearly indicate one of the specific prize modes, and one of the prize modes wins. A prize notification device (1
75). When one of the first special prize mode and the second special prize mode wins, the control device (20) normally executes the prize notification device (175).
And when a predetermined condition is satisfied, a notification is made by the specific notification device.

Here, the "prize notification device (175)" refers to the first special prize mode ("replay, replay, seven") or the second special prize mode in the case of the example described in claim 2 above. Special prize mode ("Replay, Replay, Jupiter")
This informs the player that one of them has won. Then, it is not possible to identify the winning player, for example, to clearly indicate that the first special winning mode (“Replay, Replay, Seven”) is winning. It is not done.

[0038] Here, "when a predetermined condition is satisfied" means, for example, a case where a combination of predetermined winning symbols is aligned on a predetermined effective winning line and a winning is determined. Is included. (Operation) According to the present invention, since the prize notification device (175) is provided, it is determined that one of the first special prize mode and the second special prize mode is winning. Can be notified. Thereby, the player does not guess from one of the stop symbols or the like that one of the two special winning modes is winning, but the winning notification device (175)
Can be surely known.

The notification of the prize notification device (175) is
When the game is started from the start of the game, it is possible to know that any special prize mode is winning before the stop symbol is in the so-called tempai state, and it is possible to easily enter the tempai state by pushing. Further, according to the present invention, when one of the first special prize mode and the second special prize mode is won, in a normal case, the prize is notified by the prize notification device (175), and the predetermined condition is satisfied. In case, specific winning notification device
Notify by (170). Thus, when the first special prize mode and the second special prize mode are in a so-called tempai state, in a normal case, it is unclear which of the prizes has been won, and the player selects the symbol to be pressed. Becomes a game,
When a predetermined condition is satisfied, a game in which one of the winning prize is specified is specified. Then, the maximum symbol pull-in probability of the winning symbol of the special winning mode when the predetermined condition is satisfied, by the notification of the specific winning notification device (170), compared with the notification of the normal winning notification device (175). , Can be enhanced.

As described above, the maximum symbol pull-in probability depends on whether or not the prize notification device (175) and the specific prize notification device (170) are informed of the game in the normal case and the game in the case where the predetermined condition is satisfied. Can be operated, the game content can be changed, and the playability can be improved. (Claim 4) The invention according to claim 4 is the above-described claim 1.
In addition to the features of the invention described in any one of the items (1) to (3), the following features are provided.

That is, the control device (20) includes a notification selection lottery means (130) for selecting by lottery whether or not a prize is to be notified using the specific prize notification device (170). The control device (20) is the notification selection lottery means (130)
Based on the lottery result, it is characterized by selecting whether or not to notify the winning using the specific winning notification device (170). (Operation) According to the present invention, the control device (20) controls the specific winning notification device based on the lottery result of the notification selection lottery means (130).
(170) is used to select whether or not to notify the winning. For this reason, when the special prize mode is won, the game content can be changed as compared with the case of always using the specific prize notification device (170) to notify the prize, thereby giving the game an unexpectedness. Can make the game interesting. (Claim 5) The invention according to claim 5 is the above-described claim 1.
In addition to the features of the invention described in any one of the above items 5, the following features are provided.

That is, the game includes a normal game and a special game started based on a specific winning determination or a lottery result. Then, the control device (20), when any of the first special prize mode and the second special prize mode wins, during the normal game, the specific prize notification device (170) If you do not use and during the special game,
A prize is reported by using the specific prize reporting device (170).

Here, the “special game” is specifically, for example, a so-called big bonus game (hereinafter, referred to as a “big bonus game”).
It is called "BB game". ), A regular bonus game (hereinafter, referred to as an “RB game”), and a challenge time game (hereinafter, referred to as “RB game”) in which stop control of a specific symbol is not performed.
It is called "CT game". ) Etc. (Operation) According to the present invention, the specific prize notification device (170) is not used in the normal game, and the specific prize notification device (170) is used in the special game. Thereby, the stop symbol of the rotating reel (40) matches the winning symbol of the special winning mode except for one specific rotating reel (40),
In the state of waiting for winning confirmation, so-called tempai state, during normal game, it is unclear which special winning mode is winning, it becomes a game to select the pattern of eye pressing by the player's selection, special game In the middle, the game is a game in which a specific special winning mode that is winning is specified. Then, the maximum symbol pull-in probability of the winning symbol of the special winning mode during the special game, by the notification of the specific winning notification device (170),
This can be increased as compared to the case during the normal game.

Thus, the game during the normal game,
In the case of a game during a special game, a specific winning notification device (170)
Depending on the presence or absence of the notification, the maximum symbol pull-in probability can be easily manipulated, the game content can be changed, and the playability can be improved. (Claim 6) The invention according to claim 6 is the above-described claim 1.
In addition to the features of the invention described in any one of the above items 5, the following features are provided.

That is, the game includes a normal game and a special game which is started based on a specific winning determination or a lottery result. Then, when the lottery result of the winning symbol (61) is a winning, a winning flag is established, and while the winning flag is established, in a state where the spinning reel (40) is stopped, a predetermined direction is enabled. The winning is determined and the medal is paid out on condition that the winning symbol (61) with the winning flag established is aligned on the winning line.

The control device (20), when either of the first special prize mode or the second special prize mode wins, usually executes the specific prize notification device during the normal game. Although (170) is not used, a prize is notified using the specific prize notification device (170), provided that the prize flag of the special game is established. (Operation) According to the present invention, the specific prize notification device (170) is not usually used during the normal game, but the notification is performed using the specific prize notification device (170) on condition that the prize flag is established during the special game. are doing. Thereby, when the stop symbol of the spinning reel (40), except for one specific spinning reel (40), matches the winning symbol in the special prize mode, and is in a state of waiting for winning confirmation, a so-called tempai state, During the normal game, usually, it is unclear which special prize mode has been won, and the player selects the symbol to be pressed by the player's selection. But,
On the condition that the winning flag during the special game is established, the game in which the specific special winning mode in which the game is won is specified. Then, the maximum symbol pull-in probability of the winning symbol in the special winning mode when the winning flag of the special game is established can be increased by the notification of the specific winning notification device (170) as compared with the normal case.

As described above, it is possible to control the maximum symbol pull-in probability depending on whether or not the specific prize notification device (170) notifies the game in the normal game and the game in which the special game prize flag is established. As a result, the game content can be changed, and the playability can be improved. In addition, the notification using the specific winning notification device (170) to the player can know that the winning flag of the special game is established, and can also function as a notification means of the winning flag establishment. . (Claim 7) The invention according to claim 7 is the above-described claim 1.
In addition to the features of the invention described in any one of the above items 6 to 6, the following features are provided.

That is, the game includes a normal game and a special game started based on a specific winning determination or a lottery result. And the winning pattern of the special game (61)
The information selection lottery means is provided based on which of the winning symbols (61) has been determined to win.
The winning probability of (130) is varied.

Here, "fluctuation of winning probability" means
A prize winning probability of notifying a prize using the specific prize notification device (170) is varied, and a prize probability of notifying a prize using the specific prize notification device (170) is 5 minutes. Since the prize probability of notifying a prize is 4/5, the prize probability of notifying a prize is 4/5.
In this case, the probability of winning not notifying the winning is changed to 1/5. Further, the varying winning probability includes 0 and 1, and also includes not always notifying the winning or always notifying the winning. That is, the prize probability of notifying a prize using the specific prize notification device (170) is 0, the prize probability of not reporting a prize is 1, and it is determined that the prize is not always reported. The prize-winning probability of notifying a prize is 1 and the prize-winning probability of not notifying a prize is 0, and it is determined that the prize is always notified.

Here, "two types of special game winning symbols are provided" specifically means, for example, that the special game winning symbol is composed of a red graphic "7" such as "red 7, red 7". ,
Red 7 ”and“ Blue 7, Blue 7, Blue 7 ”composed of a blue figure“ 7 ”. Also, as shown in Table 2, the winning symbols of the BB game, which is a special game,
It is as if two types of "Seven, Seven, Seven" and "Jupiter, Jupiter, Jupiter" are provided. (Operation) According to the present invention, as a winning pattern of a special game,
Two types are provided, and the winning probability of the notification selection lottery means (130) is changed based on which of the winning symbols has been determined to win. For this reason, depending on which of the two kinds of symbols of the special game can be stopped, it is possible to make a difference in the occurrence of the presence or absence of the notification of the winning, and as a result, it is possible to make a difference in the number of obtained medals. Thus, when a special game is won, the player's stop operation means that the special game winning symbols are aligned on the activated pay line and the special game winning is determined, and two types of special game winning are achieved.

The notification form of the BB game frequency display device 180 is, for example, specifically, characters such as “The number of games is 35 since the end of the previous BB game!” Or such characters are displayed. There is no particular limitation, such as the appearance of a character with a placard, as long as the player can recognize the number of games in the normal game from the previous BB game. (Normal game control means 70) The normal game control means 70 is for performing a normal game.

That is, when the start switch 30 is operated under the condition that a medal is inserted or the bet switch 16 is inserted, or a predetermined time has elapsed from the previous game at the time of “replay (re-game)”, the reel unit 60 is driven. Then, the three rotating reels 40 start rotating. Thereafter, when one of the stop switches 50 is operated, the rotation of the corresponding rotary reel 40 stops. When all three stop switches 50 have been operated, the rotation of all three rotating reels 40 stops. At this time, when the predetermined symbol 61 stops on the activated pay line of the display window 12, a predetermined number of medals are paid out via the hopper unit 65. Instead of paying out medals, credits may be given.

The winning is accompanied by the payout of a game medal.
There is no small medal prize that gives a profit to the player, a special prize that gives the player a greater profit than this small prize prize, and there is no payout of game medals, but again without inserting new game medals A "replay (re-game)" is provided for playing a game. If the lottery result is one of the winnings, a winning flag corresponding to the winning is established. Then, when the lottery result is a special winning, a special winning flag is established. During the special winning flag is established, the stop symbol of the rotating reel 40 of the reel unit 60 is stopped.
61 combinations are predetermined special winning symbols
The winning is determined on condition that it matches 61 (for example, three "7" s are on the activated pay line), and the player is made to play an advantageous special game. Then, if the special winning flag is established by lottery, but the combination of the stop symbols 61 of the rotating reel 40 does not match the special winning symbol 61, the setting of the special winning flag establishment is carried over to the subsequent games. Have been. If the winning flag of the small role cannot determine the winning in the game for which the winning flag has been established, the right of the winning flag establishment does not carry over to the next game.

Also, while any of the winning flags is established,
Whether or not the corresponding winning symbols 61 can be aligned on the activated pay line depends on the timing of the stop switch 50 when the rotation speed of the rotating reel 40 is constant. Specifically, after operating the stop switch 50, 1
Since the rotation reel 40 is set to stop within 90 ms, after operating the stop switch 50, the rotation reel 40 can be stopped as it is or can be stopped within 190 ms. For example, in a case where the corresponding winning symbol 61 is included in the four consecutive drawable symbols 61 continuous from the stop symbol, the time until the stop is delayed, and the rotating reel 40 is placed on the activated winning line. Then, the winning symbol 61 is pulled in and stopped. on the other hand,
In a case where the corresponding winning symbol 61 is not included in the four drawable symbols 61, the winning symbol 61 cannot be pulled into the activated winning line and stopped. (Special game control means 80) The special game control means 80 is for causing the player to perform an advantageous special game based on the lottery result of the lottery means.

The special games are roughly classified into the following games. (1) Specific introduction game (BB game) (2) Specific game (RB game) (3) Specific winning game (JAC game) Note that a specific game, for example, an RB game is a specific introduction game.
For example, when the game is performed during the BB game and when the game is not performed during the BB game, the game is independently performed. Further, the above-mentioned specific winning game, that is, a so-called JAC game, is performed during the RB game. Further, the special game is not limited to the above-mentioned games (1) to (3).

In the normal game, although not shown, for example, when three symbols 61 such as “7” are aligned on the activated pay line, for example, fifteen medals are paid out via the hopper unit 65. At this time, the BB game is started. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the special game control means 80 is roughly provided with the following means.

(1) Specific introduction game control means 91 (BB game control means 90) (2) Specific game control means 101 (RB game control means 100) (Specific introduction game control means 91) Specific introduction game control means
Reference numeral 91 is for controlling the BB game. Specifically, when the game shifts to the BB game, a small role game similar to the normal game is started by inserting up to three medals, and 3
When the rotation of each of the reels is stopped, medals are paid out depending on whether or not the winning symbols are aligned on the activated pay line.

Therefore, in the small win game during the BB game, a lottery including the small win is performed every time as in the normal game. However, if the specific winning symbols for shifting to the RB game during the BB game are aligned on the activated pay line, then the process shifts to the RB game. Normally, during the BB game, the transition to the RB game is supposed to be performed, for example, a maximum of three times. The lottery and the control of the small role game are performed.

In the BB game, the number of RB games in the BB game is a predetermined maximum number of times, for example, three times, or
The number of small role games during the B game is a predetermined maximum number of times, for example, maximum 3
The BB game ends when the game has ended 0 times.
The specific introduction game control means 91 includes a first special winning mode (“replay, replay, seven”) during the BB game,
When any one of the second special prize modes (“Replay, Replay, Jupiter”) wins, the effect control device 22
Through the prize notification device 175, which one of the two is winning is notified without specifically specifying which one of the two is winning.

The above-mentioned specific introduction game control means 91
When the number of games of the normal game from the end of the B game is within a predetermined number of games (for example, 100 times), the specific prize notification device 170 is used during the BB game on condition that a prize is determined for the next BB game. It is determined whether or not to notify the winning. Specifically, when one of the first special prize mode ("Replay, Replay, Seven") and the second special prize mode ("Replay, Replay, Jupiter") wins, the specific introduction game When the number of games in the normal game since the end of the previous BB game is 100 or less, the control means 91 controls the game through the effect control device 22 during the BB game, on condition that a winning is determined in the next BB game. The prize is notified using the specific prize notification device 170.

Then, the specific introduction game control means 91
When the number of games of the normal game after the end of the BB game exceeds a predetermined number of games (for example, 100) and a winning is determined in the next BB game, based on the lottery result of the notification selection lottery means 130, The specific prize notification device 170 determines whether or not to notify a prize. Specifically, when the specific introduction game control unit 91 determines to notify the prize by the specific prize notification device 170 as a result of the lottery by the notification selection lottery unit 130, the first control via the effect control device 22 Special prize mode ("Replay, Replay, Seven") and the second special prize mode ("Replay, Replay, Jupiter")
The specific winning notification device 170 notifies which one of the winning is specifically specified. Then, when it is determined that the winning by the specific prize notification device 170 is not to be notified, the notification using the specific prize notification device 170 is not performed, and only the notification by the prize notification device 175 is performed. Is performed.

Here, the above-mentioned specific introduction game control means
91 is when the number of games of the normal game since the end of the previous BB game is within a predetermined number of games (for example, 100),
Notification selection lottery means when winning is confirmed in the next BB game
Based on the lottery result of 130, the specific prize notification device 170 may determine whether or not to notify a prize.

When the number of games of the normal game since the end of the previous BB game is within a predetermined number of games (for example, 100), the specific introduction game control means 91 sets the next BB game.
The winning probability of the notification selection lottery means 130 is changed using either the high-probability notification determination table 135 or the low-probability notification determination table 136 on the condition that the winning of the game is confirmed or a prize is won. It is a good thing. Specifically, for example, when the number of games of the normal game between the BB games is 100 or less, a lottery is performed using the high probability notification determination table 135, and the number of games of the normal game between the BB games is 100 If the number of times is exceeded, a lottery may be performed using the low probability notification determination table 136.

Here, the specific introduction game control means is used.
91, whether or not to perform the notification by the specific winning notification device 170 during the BB game, as described above, the number of times of the normal game between the BB games, the lottery result of the notification selection lottery means 130, a predetermined condition The setting is made to be performed when the user is satisfied, but is not particularly limited to this. In particular,
For example, during the normal game, the specific prize notification device 170 is not used, and the B from the time when the BB game is won (when the winning flag of the BB game is established) to the time when the BB game is ended is used.
During the B game, the special prize mode may be all used to notify the prize using the specific prize notification device 170. Also, during the normal game, the specific prize notification device 170
Is not used, during the BB game from the time when the winning of the BB game is determined and the BB game is shifted to the time when the BB game ends, all the special prize notification devices 17 regarding the special winning mode are provided.
The winning may be notified using 0. (Specific game control means 101) The specific game control means 101
This is for controlling the RB game.

More specifically, when the game shifts to the RB game, one medal is inserted, and when a predetermined symbol 61 of the rotating reel 40 is aligned with the center line of the display window 12, a specific prize game is determined. Is what is done. And RB
In the game, a maximum of 12 specific prize games to determine whether or not to win
The winning can be confirmed up to eight times. That is, up to eight winnings are confirmed,
Alternatively, the RB game ends when the maximum of 12 specific winning games have ended. (Winning lottery means 110) The above-mentioned winning lottery means 110 determines whether or not to win based on a predetermined lottery probability, and determines whether or not to perform notification by the specific winning notification device 170 by lottery. .

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the winning lottery means 110 has the following three types. (1) Normal lottery means 120 (2) Notification selection lottery means 130 (Normal lottery means 120) The normal lottery means 120 performs a lottery to determine whether or not to win based on a predetermined lottery probability. . Then, when the lottery result by the normal lottery means 120 is a prize, a prize flag is established, and during the prize flag is established, on the condition that a combination of symbols for stopping the rotating reel 40 matches a predetermined prize symbol. The winning is determined, and the player is provided with a medal payout or a special game.

As shown in FIG. 2, the normal lottery means 120 includes a normal random number generating means 121 for generating a random number for a winning lottery for a predetermined winning item in a predetermined area (for example, 0 to 65535 in decimal). The random number generated by the normal random number generating means 121 is determined by a predetermined condition (for example, a start switch).
30) the normal random number extracting means 122, the normal random number extracting means 122, the normal random number generating means 121, a normal winning determination table 123 for having a winning area including lottery probability data of each winning item in the entire random number area, Based on the extracted random number data extracted by the random number extracting means 122 and the lottery probability data of the normal winning determination table 123, the prize determination area data including the prize area of each prize item in the entire area of the random number which the normal random number generating means 121 takes. And a normal determining means 124 for determining a winning corresponding to a winning area to which the extracted random number data belongs. (Notification selection lottery means 130) The above notification selection lottery means 130
Whether or not to notify a prize using the specific prize notification device 170 is selected by lottery.

As shown in FIG. 2, the notification selection lottery means 130 stores a random number for prize lottery related to the notification of the specific prize notification device 170 in a predetermined area (for example, 0 to 6553 in decimal).
The notification random number generation means 131 generated in 5) and the random number generated by the notification random number generation means 131 are either given in a first special prize mode or a second special prize mode in a predetermined BB game. Notification random number extracting means 132

And a notification determining means 134 for determining a prize.

The notification selection lottery means 130 determines the winning based on which of the two types of winning symbols of the BB game ("Seven, Seven, Seven" and "Jupiter, Jupiter, Jupiter"). The winning probability is changed based on the presence or absence. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, the notification prize determination table 133 includes a high probability notification determination table 135 in which the prize probability that the notification of the specific prize notification device 170 is performed is set high, and the specific prize notification device 170 And a low-probability notification determination table 136 in which the prize winning probability at which the notification is made is set low. Then, among the winning symbols of the BB game, “Seven, Seven,
If the winning is confirmed by "Seven", the notification determination means 134
Extracts the winning probability of each winning item from the high probability notification determination table 135. In such a case, the winning probability of notifying by the specific winning notification device 170 is set to 4/5, and the winning probability of not performing the notification by the specific winning notification device 170 is set to 1/5. On the other hand, when the winning is determined by “Jupiter, Jupiter, Jupiter” among the winning symbols of the BB game, the notification determining means 134 sets the low probability notification determination table 1
The winning probability of each winning item is collected from 36. In such cases,
The prize winning probability of notifying by the specific prize notification device 170 is set to 、, and the prize probability of not performing notification by the specific prize notification device 170 is set to ２.

Here, in the case of the above-described embodiment, two types of winning symbols of the BB game are provided, and the winning probability of the notification selection lottery means 130 is varied depending on whether one of them is aligned. The means for changing the winning probability of the selection lottery means 130 is not limited to this. Specifically, for example, two types of BB game prize areas in the normal prize determination table 123 of the normal lottery means 120 are provided, and based on which of these prize areas has been won, the notification selection lottery means 130 The winning probability may be changed. Specifically, for example, the random number generation area is 0 to 65535, and among them, 0 to 299 is a special game winning area,
149 is set as a winning area related to the lottery based on the high probability notification determination table 135, and 150 to 299 is set as a winning area related to the lottery based on the low probability notification determination table 136. (Gaming Number Counting Means 140) The above-mentioned gaming number counting means 140 counts the number of times of the normal game since the end of the previous BB game during the normal game, and calculates the total. And this game number counting means 140
The total number of games calculated by is transmitted to the BB game frequency display device 180 as an output signal to notify the player during the normal game. When the winning in the next BB game is determined, the number-of-games counting means 140 sets the value in the number-of-games counting means 140 to 0. Is counted from once. (Winning Effect Data Storage Means 151) The winning effect data storing means 151 includes a display device 66, a game frequency display device 18 between BBs.

In step 146, it is determined whether or not a prize has been determined in addition to the first special prize mode and the second special prize mode. Then, when it is determined that the prize has been determined other than in the first special prize mode and the second special prize mode, the process proceeds to the next step 147.

In step 147, medals corresponding to the prize-winning items determined to be won other than the special prize mode are paid out. Then, the process proceeds to the next Step 148. In step 148, it is determined whether the BB game end condition is satisfied. If it is determined that the BB game end condition is not satisfied, the game ends.

If it is determined in step 145 that the stop switch 50 corresponding to the three rotating reels 40 has not been operated, the process returns to step 143. If it is determined in step 146 that the winning has not been determined other than in the first special winning mode and the second special winning mode, the process proceeds to step 148. Step 148
In, when it is determined that the BB game end condition is satisfied, the BB shift flag is turned OFF, and the game ends.

If it is determined in step 141 that one of the first special winning mode and the second special winning mode has been won, the process proceeds to the next step 160.
In step 160, one of the first special prize mode and the second special prize mode has been specified by the prize notification device 175 without explicitly indicating the specific one of the prize modes. Is notified to the player. And
Proceed to the next step 161.

In step 161, it is determined whether or not the number of games from the end of the previous BB game to the winning of the BB game is within a predetermined number (for example, 100). Then, the number of such games reaches a predetermined number (10
If not (0 times), the process proceeds to the next step 162.
In step 162, a lottery is performed by the information selection lottery means 130 to determine whether or not a winning is to be notified using the specific winning notification device 170. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 163.

At step 163, it is determined whether or not the result of the lottery by the information selection lottery means 130 has been determined to notify the winning using the specific winning notification device 170.
Then, if it is determined that the prize is to be notified using the specific prize notification device 170, the process proceeds to the next step 164. In step 164, a notification is made by the specific winning notification device 170. More specifically, the specific prize notification device 170 specifically indicates that one of the first special prize mode and the second special prize mode has a prize, To the person. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 165.

In step 305, it is determined whether or not the pull-in setting has been achieved. When it is determined that the pull-in setting has been achieved, the process proceeds to the next step 303. In step 304, when it is determined that the drawing is not set for any of the symbols,
Proceed to step 303.

If it is determined in step 305 that the pull-in setting has not been achieved, step 30
Proceed to 1. In the step 302, after the stop switch 50 is operated, if the number of symbols shifted by rotating the rotary reel 40 one symbol at a time is not the fourth symbol, the process returns to the step 300.

In the embodiment described above, the stop processing of the rotating reel 40 is described in steps 301 to 305, but this example is an example of so-called minimum pull-in stop control, and conversely, maximum pull-in stop control. It is good also as control. Further, for example, at the timing when the stop switch 50 is pressed, the reel
A so-called table stop control method for determining the forty stop positions may be used. This table stop control has a plurality of tables based on the presence or absence of a winning flag and winning symbols with the winning flag being established, and a table according to a game situation is appropriately selected from the plurality of tables. .

In the table stop control, when the winning flag is established, the stop position is previously determined on the table so that the symbols corresponding to the winning flag are aligned on the activated pay line. This is a type of so-called pull-in setting. In addition, when the winning flag is not established, the stop position is determined in advance on the table so that other winning symbols are not aligned on the activated pay line, and is provided with a kind of so-called kick skip setting. is there.

The lottery process of the notification selection lottery means 130 in step 162 described above will be described with reference to the flow of FIG. In step 400, the information selection lottery means 130
The random number is extracted by the notification random number extracting means 132 from the random numbers generated by the notification random number generating means 131. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 401.

In step 401, the extracted random numbers are stored in the broadcast random number extracting means 132. And
Proceed to the next step 402. In step 402,
The notification determining means 134 compares the extracted random numbers with the winning determination area data of the notification winning determination table 133. Note that the winning symbol of the BB game that has been determined to be awarded because the BB shift flag is established is one of two types of winning symbols of the BB game (“Seven, Seven, Seven” and “Jupiter, Jupiter, Jupiter”). It is determined whether the high probability notification determination table 135 or the low probability notification determination table 136 is used as the notification winning determination table 133 depending on whether there is any. Specifically, when the symbol of the winning determination is “Seven, Seven, Seven”, the notification winning determination table 13
The high probability notification determination table 135 is used as 3, and the low probability notification determination table 136 is used as the notification winning determination table 133 when the symbol of winning determination is “Jupiter, Jupiter, Jupiter”. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 403.

In step 403, the notification determining means 13
By 4, it is determined which of the winning regions in the notification winning determination table 133 contains the extracted random numbers, and the evaluation of the lottery process is determined. Then, the lottery process by the notification selection lottery means 130 ends.
