There is also known a spinning-type gaming machine which uses a game ball for a gaming machine generally called a pachinko machine instead of a medal.

[0005] Documents related to a torso type gaming machine using such a game ball include Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 5-7642 and Japanese Patent No. 26131181. A general mechanical structure of a game machine is disclosed.

Hereinafter, an outline of a game mode of an example of a standard rotary-type gaming machine will be described. In the drawings, portions having the same functions are denoted by the same reference numerals, and overlapping description will be omitted.

FIG. 4 is an example of a general view 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 pay line displays 405 to 409 are activated according to the inserted number. Become.

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.

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,.

Each role can be aligned on the active line.
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).

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 a symbol b arranged on the activated line, for example. 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. .

In the RB game, about 110 medals can usually be obtained. 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 combination is usually set to have 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). The turning-type gaming machine shown in FIG. 4 is a turning-type gaming machine with an image display device having a variable display device 609.

FIG. 2 shows an example of notification of establishment of a bonus flag of a spinning-type gaming machine with an image display device having a variable display device. In FIG. 2, the variable display device 609 displays and notifies the establishment of the BB flag.

When the player stops the rotation of the reels by pressing the stop buttons 420 to 422 while the flag of a certain hand is ON, the symbols of the hand of the flag ON are aligned on the activated line within a range where 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 is performed such that a symbol of a hand is placed on an active line 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 regulations). Control the reel stop to pull in.

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, if 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 where the reel pull-in control works, for example, despite the small win c flag being ON, the reel pull-in is performed. 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.

Further, for example, after the notification of the establishment of the BB flag, that is, when the player presses the stop button at a position where there is no symbol 7 within the range in which the reel pull-in control works despite the BB flag being ON, the reel Does not work, the pressed symbol stops on the activated line, and the symbol 7 is not aligned on the activated line.

[0025] A player who is not good at sighting (first and intermediate)
Is that such a role can not be aligned on the active line,
It is easy to cause so-called "missing" of the role.

However, recently, during a normal game or BB
The number of spinning-type gaming machines that announce the establishment of a small role flag in a bonus game during a game has increased. For example, a spinning-type gaming machine that displays a small combination with a flag 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 with the image display device having the variable display device. In FIG. 3, the variable display device 609 displays and notifies the establishment of the small win c flag.

Therefore, in the spinning-type gaming machine that notifies the establishment of the flag of the combination as described above, the advanced player can surely establish the combination by aiming at the symbol of the announced combination, and reliably secure the medal during the game. Can be obtained. Also, in the first place, intermediate players can play games concentrated on the announced symbols, even if some minor roles are missed, so compared to spinning-type machines that do not notify the establishment of the flag of the role in the game The frequency of missing small roles is reduced, and medals can be acquired to some extent during the game.

In the spinning-type gaming machine provided with the image display device as described above, the player can easily understand the situation of winning and the like, and the above-mentioned notification makes it easier for the player to aim for the symbol of the role. However, in the current spinning-type gaming machine, regarding the stop of the target symbol, when the stop operation is performed at the timing when the assist of the reel pull-in control does not work and the player loses the role, the target symbol during the reel stop operation is performed. It is difficult to understand the amount of deviation from the effective line in which the position and the symbol of the role should be aligned. For this reason, it is difficult for the player to objectively understand the actual skill level of his or her eyesight.

The five lines 09 are set as effective lines.

Thereafter, when the player operates the start lever 419, the trigger of the reel start switch 501 causes the main control unit 508 to issue an instruction to rotate the reels to the symbol display device 512 and to read the instruction from the random number counter of the combination in the RAM 510. Extract a random value. The main control unit 508 determines winning / losing of a winning combination based on the obtained random number value, and in the case of winning, turns on a flag in the RAM 510 of the winning winning combination. At the same time, the main control unit 508 sends the symbol change start command (command ID is 2) shown in FIG.
29 (steps S900 to S910).

Subsequently, the main control unit 508 checks the bonus flag in the RAM 510, and further checks the flag of each small combination in the RAM 510 when the bonus flag is not satisfied. When the small combination flag is established, the main control unit 508 sets a flag type (hereinafter, for example, a small combination z flag) for identifying the combination in which the flag has been established as an event, as shown in FIG. The command ID 1) is transmitted to the image display device 429. Then, in response to the operation of the stop buttons 420 and 421 by the player, the main control unit 508 instructs the symbol display device 512 to perform the pull-in control of the reel related to the established small combination in accordance with the trigger detection of the stop button switch 503, The reels 102 and 103 are stopped (steps S915 → S925 → S930).

In the case where the small role z is not depressed after the reels 102 and 103 are stopped, the main control unit 508 operates the stop button switch 5 in response to the operation of the stop button 422 by the player.
In accordance with the detection of the trigger of 03, an instruction is given to the symbol display device 512 to perform no reel-in control relating to the small combination z, and the reel 104 is stopped. Then, the main control unit 508 transmits a game end command (command ID is 0) shown in FIG. 10 to the image display device 429, and one game ends (steps S935 → S970 → S975).

In the case where the small combination z is in a temporary state after the reels 102 and 103 are stopped, the main control unit 508 acquires the symbol number α _k described in the above-described operation and sets α _k as an event in FIG. The notified symbol design number notification command (command ID is 3) is notified to the image display device 429. FIG. 7A in which the temp line is a pay line display 405.
In the example, the image display device 429 is notified of a total of two winning symbol number notification commands of α ₁ = 4 and α ₂ = 15. The main control unit 50 responds to the operation of the stop button 422 by the player.
