[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a gaming machine and a gaming method thereof, and more particularly, to a game in which a sub-function unit can produce an effect based on a result of an internal winning prize in a main function unit. And a game method thereof.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a spinning-type gaming machine, generally called a pachislot machine, receives a predetermined number of medals, then operates a start lever to rotate a plurality of reels, and at the same time wins an internal program. A lottery. Then, based on the result of the winning lottery, a symbol that can be stopped on a predetermined activated line, which will be described later, is determined, the reel is stopped by a player's instruction to stop the reel rotation, and a combination of the symbols stopped on the activated line is determined. Thus, a predetermined game value is given to the player.

[0003] As documents related to such a spinning-type gaming machine, there are Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Nos. 9-313670 and 11-47.
352, JP-A-2000-140206, JP-A-2000-1126370, JP-A-2000-1
JP-A-26369, JP-A-11-29502, JP-A-2000-354, and the like disclose a general mechanical structure of a spinning-type gaming machine.

[0004] The outline of a game mode of an example of a standard rotary game machine will be described below. In the drawings, similar parts are denoted by the same reference numerals, and overlapping description will be omitted.

FIG. 4 is an example of an overview of a spinning-type gaming machine. In FIG. 4, when the player inserts a predetermined number of medals into the medal insertion slot 404, one to five of the winning lines 405 to 409 are activated lines according to the inserted number. .

[0006] Thereafter, when the player operates the start lever 419 (start lever ON), the reels 102 to 10 in the display windows 401 to 403 arranged in three horizontal rows in order from the left.
4 starts to rotate from top to bottom. At the same time as the rotation of the reels, a prize (winning of a so-called "role") or a losing (non-winning of a role) is determined by an internal program lottery.

[0007] A plurality of symbols are drawn on the surface of the reel, an example of which is shown in FIG. FIG. 1 shows display windows 401 to 4.
Left, middle, and right reels 102 to 104 that rotate within 03
This is an example in which is expanded. On each reel, for example, symbols 7, c, b, s, r, and z are arranged at 21 points on the outer periphery of the reel.

Reference numeral 101 denotes a symbol number corresponding to 21 arrangement points. Each of the reels rotates in the display windows 401 to 403 in the order of symbol numbers 1, 2, 3,..., 20, 21, 1, 2,.

[0009] Each role can be aligned on the active line 3
It is a combination of symbols in a column. The types of roles include a special prize (hereinafter, referred to as a bonus) in which a player can acquire a large amount of medals by aligning a specific symbol on the activated line, and a small amount such as a line of symbols c on the activated line. There is another prize for paying out the medal (hereinafter referred to as small role).

[0010] The bonuses include, for example, a big bonus (hereinafter referred to as BB) that allows the player to acquire a large amount of medals by aligning the symbols 7 on the activated line, and, for example, by aligning the symbols b on the activated line. Regular bonus (hereinafter referred to as RB) that allows players to acquire a large amount of medals
There is.

Hereinafter, the arrangement of the symbol c on the activated line as described above is referred to as the establishment of a small role c, and the arrangement of the symbol 7 and the symbol b on the activated line is referred to as the establishment of BB and the establishment of RB, respectively. .

The RB game can usually acquire about 110 medals. In the BB game, 30 bonus games can be consumed, during which RB can be established up to three times. The BB game ends when the RB game is performed three times or the bonus game is exhausted for 30 games.

In a program for a spinning-type gaming machine, a small winning combination is usually set to a higher probability than a bonus. Also, the program uses flags corresponding to the above roles (the default is OF
F) is controlled, and when a winning combination is achieved, the flag of the winning combination is turned on (the establishment of the winning flag).

In particular, when the bonus flag is ON,
The player is notified of the establishment of the bonus flag. Notifications include reach (a specific combination of symbols stops at a specific position in the display window), flashing display window,
There are sound, lighting of the notification lamp, and the like.

In recent years, liquid crystal display devices (hereinafter referred to as LC
There is also a spinning-type gaming machine that notifies and produces a bonus flag on an image display device having a variable display device such as D (Liquid Crystal Display).

FIG. 2 is an example of a notification of establishment of a bonus flag of a spinning-type gaming machine. In FIG. 2, the variable display device 6
09 (detailed in the description of FIG. 6 described later) displays and notifies that the BB flag is established.

When the player stops the rotation of the reel by pressing the stop buttons 420 to 422 while the flag of a certain combination is ON, the symbols of the combination of the flag ON are aligned on the activated line within a range in which the reel retraction control works. Can be Payout of the number of medals corresponding to the winning combination on the activated line is performed to the player, and one game is completed.

Here, the reel pull-in control controls the stop of the reel within a predetermined number of frames from the timing when the stop button is pressed (up to four frames in the current spinning-type gaming machine specification).

Conversely, when the role is not established, the flags of all the roles are set to O.
Even if the player presses the stop buttons 420 to 422 to stop the rotation of the reel aiming at the symbol of a specific role because it is FF, the symbol of any role is displayed on the activated line because the reel control at the time of the loss is performed. One game is over without a match.

The reel pull-in control is performed by pressing a stop button within a range in which the reel pull-in control including the symbol works, aiming at a symbol to be stopped on the activated line.
Skilled player (advanced) who is good at so-called "pressing"
Can frequently arrange the symbols of the hand on the activated line.

Conversely, when the player presses the stop buttons 420 to 422 at a position where there is no symbol of the small win c within the range in which the reel pull-in control works, for example, despite the small win c flag being ON, the reel pulls in. The control does not work, the pressed pattern stops on the activated line, and the small win c does not line up on the activated line.

Players who are not good at sighting (first and intermediate)
In such a case, such small wins cannot be arranged on the effective line, that is, so-called "missing" of small wins is likely to occur.

In recent years, however, the number of spinning-type gaming machines that announce the establishment of a small win flag in a bonus game during a BB game has increased. For example, a spinning-type gaming machine that displays a small combination for which a flag is established in a bonus game on an image display device is also manufactured.

FIG. 3 is an example of the notification of the establishment of the small role c flag of the spinning-type gaming machine. In FIG. 3, a variable display device 60 is shown.
Reference numeral 9 indicates and notifies the establishment of the small win c flag.

Therefore, in the spinning-type gaming machine that notifies the establishment of the small role flag in the bonus game, the advanced player surely establishes the small role aiming at the announced small pattern, and the large amount during the BB game. Medals can be obtained. Also, for the first time, intermediate players can play games concentrated on the announced symbols, even if there is some missing minor role,
The frequency of dropping small wins is smaller than that of a spinning-type gaming machine that does not notify the establishment of the small win flag in the bonus game, and BB
A large number of medals can be obtained during the game.

On the other hand, although the above-mentioned notification makes it easier for the player to aim for a small role, the difference between the advanced and the intermediate and intermediate players in the number of acquired pieces has been reduced, and the skill is reflected in the game. It is difficult to make a difference, and the fun as a game is reduced.
