It can increase the interest of the elderly. (Claim 2) The invention according to claim 2 of the present invention is characterized in that, in addition to the configuration of the invention described in claim 1, an effect line rejection table (53), an effect number counter (57), The number-of-games standard value (59) is provided for each lottery result by the winning symbol lottery means (40).

That is, when the effect number counter (57) is provided for each lottery result by the winning symbol lottery means (40), the "actual effect execution frequency" is calculated for each lottery result by the winning symbol lottery means (40). Can be. Then, based on the “actual effect execution frequency” calculated for each lottery result by the winning symbol lottery means (40), the “effect no-show table (53)” determined for each lottery result by the winning symbol lottery means (40) ”, The“ real effect execution frequency ”for each lottery result by the winning symbol lottery means (40) is changed to the“ standard number of game times (59) determined for each lottery result by the winning symbol lottery means (40). ) ”.

Here, for example, a winning symbol lottery means (40)
As a result of the lottery by, special game winning, small role winning,
The re-game winning and the loss are provided, and the appearance probability of the special game winning is 1%, the appearance probability of the small role winning is 14%, the appearance probability of the re-game winning is 14%, and the appearance probability of the loss is 71%. Consider the gaming machine (10) that has been set. In this gaming machine (10), the effect execution probability when a special game win appears is 90%, the effect execution probability when a small role win appears, and the effect execution probability when a re-game win appears. 50%, the effect execution probability when a loss appears is 10
%, That is, per 100 games, the effect related to the special game winning is 0.9 times, and the effect related to the small role winning is 7 times.

It is a generic term for the second small-prize prize and the third small-prize prize. Also,
The “first small winning combination” refers to a winning related to paying out a relatively small number (for example, 8) of medals. For example, during the normal game, the lottery result by the winning symbol lottery means 40 is the first lottery.
When the small role is won and the symbols such as “plum” are arranged on the winning line, the first small role is won, and eight game medals are paid out to the player.

[0098] The "second small winning combination" means a winning related to the payout of a relatively small number (for example, 5) of medals. For example, during a normal game, a winning symbol lottery means 40
When the lottery results in the second small role winning, and the symbols such as "bell" are aligned on the winning line, the second small role winning is achieved, and five game medals are paid out to the player. It is.

The "third small winning combination" means a winning related to the payout of a relatively small number (for example, three) of medals. For example, during a normal game, a winning symbol lottery means 40
When the lottery result is the third small role winning and the symbols such as "Cherry" are aligned on the winning line, the third small role winning is achieved, and three game medals are paid out to the player. It is.

[0100] The "re-game" refers to a game played under the same conditions as the "previous game" without inserting a new game medal. The “replay winning” means a winning related to execution of the replay. For example, during a normal game, if a lottery result by the winning symbol lottery means 40 is a re-game winning, and if a symbol such as "Replay" is aligned on a winning line, a re-game winning is achieved, and the "next game" is a re-game. It becomes.

When the start switch 100 is operated on condition that a game medal is inserted, the game control means 30 causes the winning symbol lottery means 40 to perform a lottery of a winning symbol.

Also, in the case of a re-game, when a start switch 100 is operated after a predetermined time has elapsed from the previous game, the game control means 30 causes the winning symbol lottery means 40 to perform a lottery of a winning symbol. And immediately after that, the rotation of the rotating reel is started.

The game control means 30 is configured to stop the rotation of the rotating reel within a predetermined time after the stop switch 110 is operated. At this time, by stopping the rotation of the spinning reel as much as possible, a so-called pull-in control for positioning a predetermined symbol on the winning line, or a method for preventing a predetermined symbol from being positioned on the winning line, so-called Kick-off control may be performed.

When the result of the lottery by the winning symbol lottery means 40 is a special game win, a small role win, or a re-game win, the game control means 30 pulls in a symbol corresponding to these wins. Control is performed, and so-called kicking control is performed for symbols that do not correspond to these winnings. On the other hand, when the lottery result by the winning symbol lottery means 40 is not a special game win, a small role win, or a re-game win, the game control means 30 performs a so-called kick skipping control on the symbols corresponding to these wins. It is formed to do.

Thus, when the lottery result by the winning symbol lottery means 40 becomes a special game winning, a small role winning, or a re-game winning, the symbol corresponding to the special game winning, the small role winning, or the re-game winning. Are easily aligned on the winning line. On the other hand, when the lottery result by the winning symbol lottery means 40 does not become a special game winning, a small role winning, or a re-game winning,
The symbols corresponding to the special game winning, the small role winning, and the re-game winning are not aligned or hardly aligned on the winning line.

The game control means 30 includes a main control unit.
It is formed by storing a predetermined program on a ROM included in the ROM 21. "Introduction of gaming medals"

In addition, the standard value 59 of the number of games to be lost is set to, for example, 7.3%.

Further, the loss-of-effect stage rejection table 53 includes, for example, a table in which the effect is determined at a rate of 20% and a table in which the effect is determined at a rate of 0%. If the frequency calculated by the frequency calculation means 58 is lower than 7.3% when a loss has occurred, the production execution rejection table 53 in which the effect is to be performed is selected at a rate of 20%, and the frequency calculation is performed. The frequency calculated by the means 58 is 7.
When it is higher than 3%, it is formed so as to select the effect execution rejection table 53 in which the effect is performed at a rate of 0%.

This mode random number extracting means 82 is
When the result of the lottery by the winning symbol lottery means 40 is input to the sub-controller 22 from, the count value is extracted from the random number counter. The random number extracting means for mode 82 is formed by storing a predetermined program in a ROM provided in the sub-control unit 22.

In the present embodiment, means for obtaining a numerical value indicating a distribution like a random number as a result is considered to be included in the form random number generating means 81 or the form random number extracting means 82. (Effect Mode Table 83) The effect mode table 83 is used to select which effect pattern from a plurality of effect patterns, or not to effect, for the entire range of random numbers generated by the mode random number generating means 81. At a predetermined ratio.

There are two or more effect mode tables 83, and each effect mode table 83 determines which effect pattern is to be selected from a plurality of effect patterns or whether no effect is performed. It is determined at a predetermined ratio. The effect mode table 83 is determined for each lottery result by the winning symbol lottery means 40.

The effect mode table 83 is formed by storing a predetermined program in a ROM provided in the sub-control unit 22. In addition, the production mode table
The specific example of 83 will be described in detail along with a specific example of the standard value 59 of the number of games at the standard value 59 of the number of games. (Table selection means 54) The table selection means 54
This is for selecting one effect mode table 83 from among the effect mode tables 83 described above.

The table selecting means 54 includes a game number counter 56 for storing the number of games, an effect number counter 57 for storing the number of times an effect has been executed, a count value of the game number counter 56, From the count value of the number-of-effects counter 57, a frequency calculating means 58 for calculating the frequency at which the effect is executed, and a standard value of the number of games, which defines a standard value of the number of times the effect is executed with respect to the number of games 59 and.

When the frequency calculated by the frequency calculating means 58 is lower than the standard value of the number of games 59, the table selecting means 54 selects the effect mode table 83 for selecting one effect pattern with high probability. When the frequency calculated by the frequency calculation means 58 is higher than the standard value of the number of games 59, the effect execution rejection table 53 for selecting one effect pattern with low probability is selected.

The table selecting means 54 is formed by storing a predetermined program in the ROM provided in the sub control unit 22. Hereinafter, each means of the table selecting means 54 will be described in detail. (Game Number Counter 56) The game number counter 56 is for storing the number of games.

The game number counter 56 is formed so as to increment the count value by one each time a game is played. Then, the number-of-games counter 56 is

This effect number counter 57 is provided for each lottery result by the winning symbol lottery means 40. Specifically, the effect counter 57 for specific introduction game winning is formed so as to increment the count value by one each time an effect relating to the specific introduction game winning is executed.

In addition, for the specific game winning, for the first small role winning,
The effect number counter 57 for the second small role winning, the third small winning, the replay winning, and the loss is not specifically shown, but is formed in the same manner as described above. The effect number counter 57 is formed by storing a predetermined program in a ROM provided in the sub control unit 22. (Frequency Calculation Means 58) The frequency calculation means 58 is for calculating the frequency at which the effect was executed from the count value of the game number counter 56 and the count value of the effect number counter 57.

More specifically, the frequency calculation means 58 has a count value of the game number counter 56 of 100, for example.
If the count value of the effect number counter 57 is 15, the frequency at which the effect is executed is calculated from 15 ÷ 100 × 100 to be 15%, and the count value of the game number counter 56 is 100. , And effect counter 57
Is 25, the effect execution frequency is calculated to be 25% from 25 ÷ 100 × 100.

Then, the frequency calculating means 58
It is formed by storing a predetermined program on a ROM included in the ROM 22. (Game Number Standard Value 59) The game number standard value 59 defines a standard value of the number of times the effect is executed with respect to the number of games.

The standard number of games 59 is also determined for each lottery result by the winning symbol lottery means 40. As described above, the gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, as a result of the lottery by the winning symbol lottery means 40, the specific introduction game winning, the specific game winning, the first small role winning, the second small role winning , The third small role election, the re-game election, and the loss are determined, the appearance probability of the specific introduction game election is about 0.3%, the appearance probability of the specific game election is about 0.2%, the first The appearance probability of the small role election is about 11%, the appearance probability of the second small role election is about 0.9%,
The appearance probability of the third small role election is determined to be about 0.9%, the appearance probability of the replay winning is approximately 14%, and the occurrence probability of the loss is approximately 73%.

Here, when the specific introduction game winning or the specific game winning appears, the production execution probability is 90%, the first small role winning, the second small role winning, the third small role winning, or the re-game winning is achieved. When it is desired that the effect execution probability in the case of appearance is 50% and the effect execution probability in the case of loss is 10%, that is, the effect related to the specific introduction game winning is 0. 0 per 100 games.
27 times, the effect related to the specific game winning is 0.18 times, the effect related to the first small role winning is 5.5 times, the effect related to the second small role winning is 0.45 times, and the third small role winning is related. Direction 0.45 times,
The effect related to the re-game winning is 7 times, and the effect related to the loss is 7.
If you want to be executed three times, the standard number of games 5
9, and the effect mode table 83 can be determined, for example, as follows.

First, the standard value of the number of games 59 for the specific introduced game winning is set to, for example, 0.27%. The effect mode table 83 for specific introduction game winning includes, for example, one for selecting one effect pattern with a probability of 100% and one for selecting one effect pattern with a probability of 80%.

In the case where a specific introduction game winning has occurred, the frequency calculated by the frequency calculating means 58 is 0.27%
When the frequency is lower than 100%, the effect mode table 83 for selecting one effect pattern with a probability of 100% is selected. When the frequency calculated by the frequency calculating means 58 is higher than 0.27%,
An effect mode table 83 for selecting one effect pattern with a probability of 80% is formed.

[0200] In this case, the variation in the "actual performance execution frequency" can be eliminated by making the number of executions of the effect related to the specific introduction game winning close to 0.27 per 100 games. Here, an example of an effect mode table 83 for selecting one effect pattern with a probability of 100% is shown in Table 3 below.

[0201]

[Table 3]

Thus, effect pattern A is selected with a probability of 40000/65536, and 5000/65
It is expected that the effect pattern B or the effect pattern C is selected with the probability of 536, and the effect pattern D is selected with the probability of 15536/65536. An example of the effect mode table 83 for selecting one effect pattern with a probability of 80% is shown in Table 4 below.

[0203]

[Table 4]

As a result, it is expected that the effect is not selected with a probability of 13106/65536 (about 20%). The effect pattern A is selected with a probability of 35000/65536.
It is expected that the effect pattern B or the effect pattern C is selected with a probability of 6, and the effect pattern D is selected with a probability of 7430/65536. That is, it is expected that one of the effect patterns from effect pattern A to effect pattern D is selected with a probability of about 80%.

In addition, for the specific game winning, for the first small role winning,
Lottery frequency standard value 59 for second small role winning, third small role winning, replay winning, or loss, and effect mode table
83 is also not specifically shown, but can be formed in the same manner as described above. The standard number of lotteries 59 is formed by storing a predetermined program in a ROM provided in the sub-control unit 22.

The lottery frequency standard value 59 and the effect mode table 83 are not limited to those described above. (Aspect lottery determination means 84) Aspect lottery determination means 84
Is selected by selecting the one effect pattern or not performing the effect by comparing the random number extracted by the mode random number extracting means 82 with the one effect mode table 83 selected by the table selecting means 54. This is for making a determination.

This mode lottery determination means 84
Is formed by storing a predetermined program on a ROM included in the ROM. (Operation of Gaming Machine 10) Next, the gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment
Of the operations described above, the portion related to the effect will be described with reference to FIG.

When the result of the lottery by the winning symbol lottery means 40 is input to the sub control unit 22, first, the random number extracting means for mode 82
, A random number is extracted (S200). Next, the “real effect execution frequency” is calculated by the frequency calculation means 58 (S201). Next, the “realistic effect execution frequency” and the “game counter value standard value 59” are set by the table selecting means 54.

In S202, “actual effect execution frequency”
Is determined to be smaller than the "standard number of games 59"
Production mode table for selecting production pattern 1 with high probability
83 is selected (S203). On the other hand, if it is determined in S202 that the “actual effect execution frequency” is greater than the “standard number of game times 59”, the effect mode table 83 for selecting one effect pattern with low probability is selected (S20).
4).

Next, the random number extracted by the mode random number extracting means 82 and the table selecting means
The collation with the effect mode table 83 selected by the 54 is performed (S
205) It is determined whether one effect pattern is selected or no effect is performed (S206). S20
When one effect pattern is selected in 6, the effect of the pattern is then executed by the effect executing means 70 (S207). Then, when the effect is executed, the effect that the effect has been executed is stored (S208). In particular,
The count value of the effect number counter 57 is incremented by one.

On the other hand, if it is determined in S206 that no effect is to be performed, no effect is executed, and a memory indicating that no effect is executed is stored (S208). Specifically, the count value of the effect number counter 57 is maintained as it is. Then, a series of operations ends. As described above, the gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment differs from the gaming machine 10 according to the first embodiment in that the “production effect rejection determining means 50” and the “production pattern selecting means 60” are replaced by “production effects”. A mode selecting means 80 "is provided.

[0212] Further, the "production mode selection means 80" is provided by the "production effect determination means" provided in the gaming machine 10 according to the first embodiment.
It is like a combination of "50" and "effect pattern selecting means 60", and "deciding whether or not to perform an effect" was performed separately in the gaming machine 10 according to the first embodiment. "Selection of an effect pattern" is performed simultaneously in one lottery.

Then, the gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment
The “determination of whether or not to perform an effect” and the “selection of which effect pattern to perform if an effect is performed” are simultaneously performed in one lottery, thereby reducing the load on the control device 20.

The count value is incremented by one, and when the number of games has exceeded n times, if the effect has been executed in the game n times before, the count value is decremented by one.

Here, when it is determined whether or not to perform an effect by lottery, if the number of games is sufficiently large, the “actual effect execution frequency” is expected to show a substantially constant value. However, the smaller the number of games, the more likely the "realistic effect execution frequency" varies. Therefore,
The gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment obtains the “real effect execution frequency” for the latest n games, and, based on the “real effect execution frequency” for the latest n games, 1
By selecting the production execution / non-execution table 53 or the production mode table 83 of 1, even if attention is paid only to the latest n games, the “real production execution frequency” does not vary. is there.

That is, as for the game number counter 56, the count value is incremented by one each time a game is played until the game number reaches n times, and when the game number exceeds n times, the count value is increased. On the other hand, the effect counter 57 is incremented by one each time the effect is executed, and when the number of games exceeds n, the effect counter 57 When an effect has been executed in a game, the “real effect execution frequency” for the latest n games can be obtained by forming the count value to be decremented by one.

Then, based on the “actual effect execution frequency” of the last n games, one effect execution / non-execution table 53 is set.
Alternatively, by selecting only one effect mode table 83, it is possible to prevent variations in the "actual effect execution frequency" even if attention is paid only to the latest n games. Further, by deleting the game data before n times, the load on the control device 20 can be reduced.

When the frequency calculated in step 58 is higher than 0.30%, a low probability table is selected.

Then, the number of executions of the effect related to the specific introduction game winning can be made closer to 0.27 per 100 games, so that the variation of the “actual effect execution frequency” can be eliminated. Compared to the case where the number-of-games standard value 59 is one and the effect no-show table 53 is two, it is possible to improve the accuracy of eliminating variations.
