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. A description will be given below using an embodiment of the present invention.

The symbols in parentheses indicate the symbols 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 is characterized by the following points.

That is, the gaming machine (10) according to the present invention controls a rotating reel (40) displaying a plurality of symbols (61) around the rotating reel (40) and controls the rotation of the rotating reel (40) with a certain probability. A control device (20) for performing a lottery of a winning symbol (61). The game includes at least a normal game and a special game started based on a specific winning determination or a lottery result.

[0018] The special game includes at least a low net increase special game and a high net increase special game capable of giving a greater profit to a player than the low net increase special game. The normal game is provided with a high net increase transition period. This high net increase transition period is started by a predetermined opportunity, and by deciding the winning in the special game within a predetermined number of game times, to guarantee the transition to the high net special game during the special game. Determines the number of games played.

The control device (20) determines whether or not to shift to the net increase transition period when the shift is not in the net increase transition period. Shift adding means for determining whether or not to add
(143). Here,
The term "rotating reel (40)" is not limited to the one in which a plurality of symbols are displayed around the actual reel, but includes those displayed on a liquid crystal screen. Things. 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 “0)” is not limited to a specific number as long as it is plural, but may be two, three, four, or more. Here, the "gaming machine (10)" is specifically a slot machine, for example, but includes a pachinko machine having the above-mentioned rotating reel (40) and other gaming machines.

Here, the "high net addition special game that can give a greater profit to the player than the low net addition special game" means that the high net addition special game is more effective than the low net addition special game. Is set so as to increase the substantial profit to be given to the player, and based on the number of paid-out medals of the medal paid out to the player, the inserted medal of the medal inserted into the gaming machine (10) by the player. This includes those in which the number of net increase medals remaining after subtracting the number increases. Specifically, for example, in low net increase special game and high net increase special game,
When different lottery probability tables are used and these lottery probability tables are compared with each other, the lottery probability tables of the high net addition special game include those in which the winning lottery probability is set to be larger.

Here, "started at a predetermined timing" means that the start condition of the high net increase transition period is a predetermined timing, and specifically, for example, a specific introduction game (for example, BB game), a specific game (for example, a so-called regular bonus game (hereinafter, referred to as an “RB game”)),
The small net winning pattern “watermelon”) is determined to have a chance to start the high net increase transition period.

Also, here, "This high net increase transition period,
-During the special game, the number of games for guaranteeing the transition to the high net increase special game is determined ", specifically,
For example, on the condition that the BB game ends, the net increase transition period is started, and when the winning of the next BB game is determined within 100 games from the start of the net increase transition period, the BB game becomes: This includes things that shift to a high net increase special game.

Also, here, since "the decision is made as to whether or not the transition to the high net increase transition period is to be made", it is not always the case that the transition is made, and the transition may not be made. Specifically, it includes one that determines whether or not to shift by lottery. In addition, here, since "the decision is made whether or not to add the high net increase transition period", the predetermined period is not always added to the high net increase transition period, and it may be decided not to add. is there. Specifically, it includes one that determines whether or not addition is possible by lottery.

(Operation) According to the present invention, the normal game is provided with a high net increase transition period consisting of a predetermined number of games. For this reason, it is possible to have a game property of determining whether or not a prize can be won for a special game during the transition period of high net increase, and the game can be filled with interest. Then, according to the present invention, in the normal game, when it is not during the transition period, the transition addition means (143) determines whether or not the transition to the transition period is possible. For this reason, during the normal game, there is a possibility of shifting to the high net increase transition period, the expectation of shifting to the high net increase special game can be obtained, and the normal game can be filled with interest.

According to the present invention, during the high net increase transition period, whether or not addition is possible in the high net increase transition period is determined by the shift addition means (143). For this reason, even during the high net increase transition period, there is a possibility that the high net increase transition period is added, and the high net increase transition period can be extended. As a result, even during the high net increase transition period, the high net increase transition period is extended at a time, and even if the special game is not finalized, the expectation of transition to the high net increase special game can be raised at a stretch Yes, it can make the game interesting.

(Claim 2) The invention of claim 2 has the following features in addition to the features of the invention of claim 1 described above. That is, the shift addition means (143) includes a shift addition determination lottery means (150) for determining whether or not to shift or add to the high net increase shift period. And the shift addition means (143) is the shift addition determination lottery means (150)
Is determined on condition that a winning is determined in the lottery.

Here, "determining whether or not to shift to the net increase transition period or not" is to determine whether or not to shift to the high net increase shift period when the shift to the net increase is not in progress.
In the case of the high net increase transition period, it means that the addition or non-addition of the high net increase transition period is determined. In addition, since it is described as "determining the feasibility", it is not necessarily limited to the transition to the net-to-net increase transition period or to be determined to be added to the net-to-net increase transition period. And those that are determined not to be added to the high net increase transition period.

(Operation) According to the present invention, the transition condition is fixed such that the transition to the high net increase transition period or the determination of the possibility of the addition is shifted after a predetermined game (for example, a BB game). As compared with the above, it is possible to change the transition timing to the high net increase transition period and the addition timing of the high net increase transition period, and it is possible to impart unexpectedness to the game. Thereby, the game content can be changed, and the game can be filled with interest.

(Claim 3) The invention of claim 3 has the following features in addition to the features of the invention of claim 1 described above. That is, the control device (20) includes a winning lottery means (110) for performing a lottery to determine whether or not a winning is achieved.

When the lottery result by the prize lottery means (110) is the prize, the prize flag of the prize symbol (61) is established, and the spinning reel (40) stops while the prize flag is established. In the state where the winning flag is established, the winning symbol (6
The winning is settled on condition that 1) is completed, and the profit is given to the player.

Then, the shift addition means (143), as a result of the lottery of the winning lottery means (110), the predetermined winning symbol (61)
On the condition that the winning flag of the winning symbol (61) is established, and it is determined whether or not the transition to the high net increase transition period or addition is possible. Here, "determination of whether or not the transition to the high net increase transition period or addition is possible" has the same meaning as that described in claim 2.

(Operation) According to the present invention, when a predetermined winning symbol is won and the winning flag of the winning symbol is established, it is expected that the winning symbol with the winning flag established is determined. In addition to the feeling, it is possible to add a feeling of expectation to the transition or addition to the high net increase transition period. As a result, it is possible to simultaneously increase the interest in the transition or addition to the high net increase transition period and the establishment of the winning flag of the winning symbol, and it is possible to improve the playability by a synergistic effect of these.

Further, by knowing the transition or addition to the high net increase transition period, the player can infer the formation of a winning flag of a predetermined winning symbol, and uses it as a notification means of the formation of the winning flag. It is also possible. (Claim 4) The invention according to claim 4 is the above-described claim 1.
In addition to the features of the invention described above, the following features are provided.

That is, the control device (20) includes a winning lottery means (110) for performing a lottery to determine whether or not a winning is achieved. Then, when the lottery result by the prize lottery means (110) is the prize, the prize flag of the prize symbol (61) is established, and while the prize flag is established, the rotating reel (40)
In a state in which the prize is stopped, the prize is determined and the profit is provided to the player on condition that the prize symbols (61) with the prize flag being established are aligned on an effective prize line in a predetermined direction set in advance. Have been.

Then, the shift addition means (143), as a result of the lottery of the winning lottery means (110), a predetermined winning symbol (61)
Is determined on the condition that the winning flag is established and the winning is determined while the winning flag is established. Here, "determination of whether or not the transition to the high net increase transition period or addition is possible" has the same meaning as that described in claim 2.

(Operation) According to the present invention, when a predetermined prize symbol is won and the prize flag of the prize symbol is established, the expectation that the prize symbol while the prize flag is established will be determined. Further, it is possible to add a sense of expectation to the transition or addition to the high net increase transition period. Thereby, it is possible to simultaneously increase the interest in shifting to or adding to the high net increase transition period and, during the formation of the winning flag of the winning symbol, aligning the winning symbol on a predetermined effective winning line and fixing the winning. It is possible to improve the playability by the synergistic effect of these.

(Claim 5) The invention of claim 5 has the following features in addition to the features of the invention of claim 1 described above. That is, the control device (20) includes a winning lottery means (110) for performing a lottery to determine whether or not a winning is achieved. Then, when the lottery result by the prize lottery means (110) is the prize, the prize flag of the prize symbol (61) is established, and the reel (40) is stopped while the prize flag is established. On the condition that the winning symbols (61) for which the winning flag is established are aligned on the activated pay line in a predetermined direction set in advance, the winning is determined and the profit is given to the player.

Then, the shift addition means (143) determines whether or not the result of the lottery by the winning lottery means (110) is within a predetermined number of games.
On the condition that the winning flag of the predetermined winning symbol (61) is not established, it is determined whether or not the shift to the high net increase shift period or addition is possible. Here, "determination of whether or not the transition to the high net increase transition period or addition is possible" has the same meaning as that described in claim 2.

Specifically, the present invention, for example, as a result of the lottery of the winning lottery means (110), for example, within the range of 50 times of the number of games, for example, the winning symbol of the BB game, "7" winning Provided that the flag does not hold, ie
If the player does not win the BB game continuously, 50 times in a row, the game may include a transition to the high net increase transition period or a lottery of addition.

(Operation) According to the present invention, when a winning flag of a predetermined winning symbol is not established within a predetermined number of games,
The success or failure of the predetermined winning symbols in the so-called predetermined number of games to determine whether or not to shift to or to add to the high net increase transition period is determined. As a result, as a result of the lottery, the winning flag of the predetermined winning symbol is not continuously established, that is, a so-called continuous winning loss of the predetermined winning symbol occurs, thereby increasing a sense of expectation for shifting to the high net increase transition period or addition. be able to. Therefore, as for the predetermined winning symbol, as a result of the lottery, a prize is won, the prize flag is established, and both the interest in deciding the prize and the interest in continuously losing without winning, that is, the lottery You can have fun in both winning and losing, and you can be interested in both, and you can make the game more interesting.

(Claim 6) The invention of claim 6 has the following features in addition to the features of the invention of claim 1 described above. That is, the control device (20) includes a winning lottery means (110) for performing a lottery to determine whether or not a winning is achieved. Then, when the lottery result by the prize lottery means (110) is the prize, the prize flag of the prize symbol (61) is established, and the reel (40) is stopped while the prize flag is established. On the condition that the winning symbols (61) for which the winning flag is established are aligned on the activated pay line in a predetermined direction set in advance, the winning is determined and the profit is given to the player.

The transfer addition means (143) sets a winning flag of a predetermined winning symbol (61) as a result of the lottery result of the winning lottery means (110). Then, on the condition that the winning is not fixed, it is characterized in that it is determined whether or not the shift to the high net increase shift period or addition is possible. Here, "determination of whether or not the transition to the high net increase transition period or addition is possible" has the same meaning as that described in claim 2.

More specifically, according to the present invention, for example, as a result of the lottery of the winning lottery means (110), a winning flag of the BB game is established, and after the winning flag is established, the BB game is executed within the range of 10 games. The lottery for the transition to the net increase transition period or the addition is performed on condition that the winning symbol "7" of the game cannot be aligned on the predetermined effective winning line and the winning can not be confirmed. Is included.

(Operation) According to the present invention, the winning lottery means (1
As a result of the lottery of 10), while the winning flag of the predetermined winning symbol is established, within the predetermined number of games, the winning symbol with the established winning flag cannot be aligned on the predetermined effective winning line, and the winning is determined. If not, it is possible to increase the expectation for the transition to the net increase transition period or the addition. Therefore, for a predetermined winning symbol, while the winning flag is established,
Both the interest in arranging the prize by arranging on the predetermined activated prize line and the interest in being unable to continually determine the prize because the prize flag cannot be arranged on the activated prize line while the prize flag is established. Can be interested in. Thereby, while the winning flag is established, the winning symbols cannot be continuously arranged, and if a certain number of games cannot be confirmed, the aim is to shift or add to the high net increase transition period, intentionally, The game can be advanced so that the winning symbols are not aligned on a predetermined effective winning line. Also, even if the winning flag of the predetermined winning symbol is established, from the beginning, intentionally,
It is also possible to avoid such a prize settlement and to perform a game aiming for a transition or an addition to the high net increase transition period. In this way, the variety of games can be increased, and the games can be filled with interest.

(Claim 7) The invention according to claim 7 is characterized by the following features in addition to the features of the invention described in any one of claims 1 to 6. That is, the control device (20) is a prize lottery means for performing a lottery whether or not a prize.
(110). If the lottery result by the winning lottery means (110) is the winning, the winning symbol (61)
The winning flag is established, and while the winning flag is established, in a state where the rotating reel (40) is stopped, the winning symbol (61) for which the winning flag is established is placed on an effective winning line in a predetermined direction set in advance. It is set so that the winning is fixed and profit is given to the player on condition that they are aligned.

The gaming machine (10) indicates that a winning pattern composed of a specific combination of winning symbols (61) is winning, by clearly indicating the combination of winning symbols (61) in the winning pattern. A special prize notification device (170) capable of notifying the player. Then, the specific prize notification device (170), during the high net increase special game, among the prize symbols (61), that the prize flag of the specific prize symbol (61) is being established, the prize flag established During the low net increase special game, when the winning flag of the specific winning symbol (61) is being established, the winning symbol with the winning flag being established is specified. It is characterized in that the notification specifying (61) is not performed.

The present invention specifies a high net increase special game and a low net increase special game. Specifically, for example, when the winning flag of the winning combination "Bell" of the small role is established, during the high net increase special game, the winning flag of the winning flag is established, such as "Bell winning flag is established!" Although the winning symbol is specified as "bell" and notified, during the low net increase special game, the notification which specifically specifies the winning symbol with the winning flag established, such as "the flag of any small role has been established!" Without performing this, it includes the one that notifies only that the winning flag of any of the small wins is established among a plurality of small wins such as “bell”, “watermelon”, and “cherry”.

(Operation) According to the present invention, during the special game with high net addition, the specific prize notifying device (170) determines that the prize flag of the specific prize symbol is being established, and that the prize is established while the prize flag is established. The design is specified and the notification is given. For this reason, to some extent, if it is an expert who is excellent in the skill of the so-called pushing, the winning symbol can be aligned with a predetermined effective winning line with a considerably high probability, and the winning of the winning symbol can be determined. It can be carried out.

On the other hand, during the low net increase special game, when the prize flag of the specific prize symbol is being established by the specific prize notification device (170), the information specifying the prize symbol with the established prize flag is not performed. . For this reason, even a skilled person who can perform perfect eyesight does not know which winning symbol has a winning flag set, and compares this with the case of the high net increase special game in which a notification is made by the specific winning notification device (170). Therefore, the probability of winning can be reliably reduced.

As described above, depending on the presence / absence of the notification of the specific prize notification device (170), the probability that the prize can be determined as a result is determined as follows.
The game content can be easily changed, and the profit that can be given to the player can be changed to change the game content. (Claim 8) The invention according to claim 8 is the above-described claim 1.
In addition to the features of the invention described in any one of the first to seventh aspects, the following features are provided.

That is, at least a first special prize mode and a second special prize mode are provided as the prize modes. Further, three rotating reels (40) are formed. And the winning symbol of the first special winning mode
(61) and a winning symbol (6
When the combination of 1) is compared for each of the rotating reels (40),
The winning symbol (61) on one specific rotating reel (40) is:
Different from each other, the winning symbols (61) on the remaining two rotating reels (40) are set to be the same.

Then, 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 active pay line by a stop operation. There is no. The gaming machine (10) indicates to the player that one of the first special prize mode and the second special prize mode has a prize, and indicates the specific one to the player. It is provided with a specific prize notification device (170) that can be notified toward the user.

The specific prize notification device (170)
During the high net increase special game, a notification is made that one of the special prize modes is winning, and during the low net increase special game, a specific one of the special prize modes is winning. It is characterized by not reporting the fact. The present invention specifically specifies a high net increase special game and a low net increase special game.

Here, specifically, in the present invention, as shown in Table 2, the first special winning mode is set to "Replay, Replay, Seven" and the second special winning mode is set to "Replay, Replay, Seven". Replay, Replay, Jupiter ". In addition, here, when comparing the combination of the winning symbols of the first special winning mode and the winning symbols of the second special winning mode for each of the rotating reels (40), a specific one The winning symbols on the rotating reel (40) are different from each other, and the winning symbols on the remaining two rotating reels (40) are set to be the same. "
And the second special winning mode is a specific one reel (4
Except for (0), the combination of winning symbols is set to be in a state of waiting for a winning determination, that is, a so-called tempai state. Specifically, for example, the first
When the special prize mode of is “Replay, Replay, Seven” and the second special prize mode is set to “Replay, Replay, Jupiter”, the combination of the winning symbols is rotated. When compared for each reel (40), the winning symbols on the right rotating reel (45) are different for "Seven" and "Jupiter", and the remaining left rotating reel (43)
The winning symbols on the central rotating reel (44) include those set to be the same in "replay".

In addition, 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. At the same time, there is no stop operation position that can be pulled in on the activated pay line. Specifically, for example, it is assumed that the range of the drawable symbol is set to four from the position where the stop operation was performed. In this case, the right rotating reel (4
As shown in the symbol mode of 5), the first special winning mode and the second
Winning patterns different from each other depending on the special winning mode of "Seven"
And "Jupiter" include those that are set so as not to be simultaneously present in the four drawable ranges. 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).

In addition, here, the fact that one of the first special prize mode and the second special prize mode is winning is indicated to the player by explicitly indicating the specific one. Specifically, in the case of the above example, the specific winning notification device (170) capable of notifying by means of `` Replay, Replay, Seven '' and `` Replay, Replay, Jupiter '' Of which, the winning symbol, for example, the winning symbol is "Replay, Replay,
It includes those that specifically and clearly indicate that they are "seven."

(Operation) According to the present invention, the combination of the winning symbols of the first special winning mode and the second special winning mode is
Since it is the same except for one specific spinning reel (40),
The stop symbols of the remaining two spinning reels (40) except for the specific one spinning reel (40) are the same as the winning symbols of the first and second special winning modes, so that the player sees ,
Both the first special prize mode and the second special prize mode are in a state of waiting for a winning, 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 a prize to be determined, that is, in a so-called tempai state, the specific prize notification device (170) does not perform the notification.
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. And, if the notification by the specific prize notification device (170) during the low net increase special game is not performed, theoretically, even a skilled person who can perform perfect pushing can draw a predetermined prize symbol and finalize the prize. The possible probability can be reliably reduced as compared with the case of performing the notification by the specific winning notification device (170) during the high net increase special game.

[0091]

[Table 2]

The combinations of the winning symbols of the first special winning mode ("Replay, Replay, Seven") and the second special winning mode ("Replay, Replay, Jupiter") are compared for each reel 40. In this case, the winning symbols on the right rotating reel 45 are different from each other for “Seven” and “Jupiter”, and the winning symbols on the remaining rotating reels 40, the left rotating reel 43 and the central rotating reel 44, are all “Replay”. Is set to be the same.

Then, as shown in Table 1, by stopping operation, the right spinning reel 45 is changed from the first special winning mode winning pattern ("Seven") to the second special winning mode winning pattern ("7"). Until Jupiter "), there are eight other symbols, and from the winning symbol of the second special winning mode (" Jupiter "), the winning symbol of the first special winning mode (" Seven ") ), There are eleven other symbols. As described above, the “Seven” and the “Jupiter” on the right-hand rotating reel 45 have the maximum number of symbols (specifically, the number of symbols that can draw a predetermined symbol on the activated pay line by the stop operation of the stop switch 50 by the player). (Four, typically four). That is, the stop operation position at which “Seven” and “Jupiter” can be simultaneously drawn on the activated pay line is set so as not to be on the right rotating reel 45.

Here, among the winning symbols, two special winning modes, a first and a second special winning mode, are formed, but the special winning mode is particularly limited to these two. Instead, a third special winning mode having an arrangement satisfying the above-described conditions may be provided. Furthermore, four or more special winning modes may be provided within a range that satisfies the conditions for the special winning modes described above.

(Hopper Unit 65) The hopper unit 65 is for paying out medals to the player based on the result of the game, not shown. (Display Device 66) The display device 66 is a speaker, a display lamp, or the like, and is for informing a player of a prize, a winning determination, or the like. Specifically, by controlling the effect control device 22, by generating a winning sound from the speaker at the time of winning or when the winning is determined, by turning on or blinking the display lamp,
This is for notifying the player of winning or winning determination.

(Specific prize notification device 170) The specific prize notification device 170 is disposed on the left side of the upper display window 12, as shown in FIG. 2, and is made of a square liquid crystal. Things. Of course, the specific prize notification device 170 is not limited to a liquid crystal, but may be a 7-segment LED, a lamp, or a large dot-shaped panel LED.
A display device or the like may be used.

[0097] The specific prize notification device 170 determines whether one of the first special prize mode and the second special prize mode has a prize during the high net increase special game, and indicates the specific one of the specific prize modes. In order to notify the player. The notification form of the specific winning notification device 170 is specifically, for example, when the second special winning mode is winning, the characters “Replay, Replay, Jupiter Win!” Are displayed. And those in which a character with a placard of “Replay, Replay, Jupiter Wins!” Appears. The notification mode is not particularly limited, and the player recognizes that the second special prize mode, “Replay, Replay, Jupiter” has won, ie, that the prize flag is being established. Other notification modes may be used as long as they are possible.

(Prize Notification Device 175) The above-mentioned prize notification device 175
Is arranged substantially at the center of the upper display window 12, as shown in FIG. 2, and is made of a square liquid crystal. Of course, the winning notification device 175 is not limited to a liquid crystal, but may be a 7-segment LED, a lamp, a dot-shaped large panel LED display device, or the like.

The prize notification device 175 determines a specific one of a first special prize mode (“Replay, Replay, Seven”) and a second special prize mode (“Replay, Replay, Jupiter”). It is for notifying the player that one of them has won without explicitly indicating. The notification form of the prize notification device 175 may be, for example, displayed as “Replay, Replay, Jupiter, Replay, Replay, Seven Wins!” Or “Replay, Replay , Jupiter, Replay, Replay, or Seven! ”, A character with a placard appears, and is not particularly limited. The first special prize mode or the second special prize It is only necessary that the player can recognize that either of the modes has won, that is, that one of the winning flags is being established.

(Remaining game frequency display device 180) The remaining game frequency display device 180 is, as shown in FIG.
And is formed of a square liquid crystal. Of course, the remaining game frequency display device 180 is not limited to a liquid crystal, but may be a 7-segment LED, a lamp, or a large dot-shaped panel L.
An ED display device or the like may be used.

The remaining game number display device 180 is capable of performing a countdown display of the remaining number of games in the high net increase transition period based on the calculation result of the remaining game number counting means 145. That is, during the high net increase transition period, each time a normal game is completed once, the remaining number of games in the high net increase transition period is reduced by one, and the value of the subtracted number of games is displayed.

The notification form of the remaining game number display device 180 is, for example, a character such as "The remaining game number in the period of transition to the high net increase is 45 times!" There is no particular limitation on the appearance of a character having a placard displaying, for example, as long as the player can recognize the remaining number of games in the high net increase transition period.

The notification mode of the remaining game frequency display device 180 is such that, during a normal game, if the transition to the net increase transition period is made by the decision of the shift addition means 143, the transition to the high net increase transition period is made. The number of games in the transition period is 50. ”is displayed. If the addition of the net addition transition period is determined by the shift addition means 143 during the high net addition transition period, "the number of games in the high net addition transition period is added 50 times and the remaining The number of games in the high net increase transition period is 65 times. "Is displayed.

Further, the remaining game number display device 180 is not limited to specifically displaying the numerical value of the number of remaining games in the high net increase transition period, but directly displays the number of remaining games in the high net increase transition period. Instead, it includes something that is indirectly displayed. Specifically, for example, a bar graph is displayed along with the display of the number of games, and an area corresponding to the remaining number of games in the bar graph is lit or changed in color. This includes those that allow the player to grasp the number of remaining games.

(Normal Game Control Means) The normal game control means 70 is for causing a normal game to be played. 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 when a predetermined time has elapsed from the previous game at the time of “replay (re-game)”, the reel unit 60 is driven, and the reel unit 60 is driven. The 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.

Winning involves paying out game medals,
There is no small medal prize that gives the player a profit, a special prize that gives the player even greater profits 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. 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.

In the normal game, a high net increase transition period is provided. The high net increase transition period is started at a predetermined timing, and within a predetermined number of game times within the high net increase transition period, the BB game is determined to win a prize. Is guaranteed. Specifically, during the transition period,
When the game is over, when the prize is decided in the lottery of the transition addition determination lottery means 150, the transition addition special role can be aligned, and when the prize is decided in the transition addition special role, starting or adding in a total of three cases Is what is done.

Specifically, after the BB game is completed, a high net increase transition period of 100 games is set. Also, regardless of the stop symbol of the rotating reel 40, when the transition addition means 143 determines the transition or addition to the high net transition period by the lottery of the transition addition determination lottery means 150, the transition of the high net transition period of 50 times of the game is performed. A start or addition of a high net increase transition period is performed. In addition, as a result of the lottery result of the winning lottery means 110, the transfer addition special role ("Seven, Jupiter, Seven") is won,
The transfer addition means 143 is provided on condition that the transfer addition special combination is aligned on a predetermined activated pay line and a winning is confirmed.
If the player decides to shift to or add to the net increase transition period, the start of the net increase transition period for 50 times of the game or the addition of the net increase transition period is performed.

(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 above 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.

In a normal game, although not shown,
For example, when three symbols 61 such as “7” are aligned on the activated pay line, 15 medals are paid out via the hopper unit 65, for example. At this time, the BB game is started. Then, in the BB game, a lottery probability is set higher than the normal game, and a low net increase special game that can give a predetermined profit of the player, and a bigger profit is given to the player than this low net increase special game. There is a possible high net increase special game. Of course, the low net increase special game may be set so that the lottery probability is set smaller than the normal game, so that the difference between the low net increase special game and the high net increase special game becomes larger. The special game is not limited to the above-mentioned game.

The special game control means 80 is, specifically,
As shown in FIG. 1, when roughly classified, the following means are provided. (1) Specific introduction game control means 91 (BB game control means 9
0) (2) Specific game control means 101 (RB game control means 100) (Specific introduction game control means 91) Above specific introduction game control means
Reference numeral 91 is for controlling the BB game.

Specifically, when the game shifts to the BB game, the small role game similar to the normal game is started by inserting up to three medals, and is effective when the rotation of each of the three spinning reels is stopped. The payout of medals is performed depending on whether or not the winning symbols are aligned on the winning line. Therefore, in the small win game during the BB game, the 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, up to three times. In the same manner as described above, the lottery and control of the small role game are performed. In the BB game, the RB game ends when the RB game in the BB game ends at a predetermined maximum number of times, for example, three times, or the small role game during the BB game ends at the predetermined maximum number of times, for example, up to 30 times. Things.

When the winning in the next BB game is determined during the high net increase transition period, the specific introduction game control means 91 performs a prize notification using the specific prize notification device 170 during the BB game. Shift to net increase special game. When the game is shifted to this high net increase special game, as a result of the lottery of the prize lottery means 110, the first special prize mode (“replay, replay,
Seven ") and one of the second special winning modes (" Replay, Replay, Jupiter "),
By the prize production control means 142, a specific one of the two is specifically specified, and the specific prize notification device 170 notifies that the specific one is winning.

On the other hand, when the winning in the next BB game is confirmed during the high net increase transition period, the specific introduction game control means 91 does not perform the winning notification using the specific winning notification device 170 during the BB game. It shifts to a so-called low net increase special game. When shifting to the low net increase special game, the specific introduction game control means 91 performs the first special prize mode (“replay, replay, seven”) and the second special prize mode (“replay, replay, Jupiter "), when one of the two prizes, through the effect control device 22, which one of the two prizes without specifically indicating which one of the two prizes, specifically Is notified by the winning notification device 175. Therefore,
During the low net increase special game, which one has won, the specific one is not specifically specified, only that one of the two is winning is notified by the winning notification device 175, and the specific A specific prize notification device that one of them has won
No notification is made by 170.
