BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a slot machine in which after winning a special role by lottery, the winning of the special role is carried over until the special role is won.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional slot machine, a lottery is performed by a lottery means at the start of a game, for example.
The winning combination lottery means determines the winning or non-winning of the winning by extracting the random number value and determining whether the extracted random number value belongs to the winning area of any winning.

[0003] Here, when a small portion or a replay is won in the game, the winning of the small portion or the like is valid only in the game, and the winning is not carried over after the next game.
On the other hand, when the special role is won, the winning of the special role is carried over after the next game until the special role is won. In the game after winning the special role and before winning the special role, even if the random number value extracted by the role lottery means belongs to the winning area of the special role, it is determined as non-winning, and The role was not double won.

[0004] However, today, slot machines have been known which continue to draw lots of special roles even after the special role is won, and carry over the winning of a plurality of special roles. In this type of slot machine, it is possible to carry over the winning of special roles in games under certain conditions,

It is arranged so that individual designs can be seen. Then, when the reel 31 is rotated by the motor 32, the symbol on the reel 31 is moved and displayed in the display window at a predetermined speed in the vertical direction.

The winning combinations include a plurality of special combinations, a plurality of small combinations, and replays. The special role is a role that shifts from a normal game to a special game (a game that is expected to acquire medals more than the normal game and is advantageous for the player). A plurality of special roles are provided, for example, a big bonus (hereinafter abbreviated as BB), a regular bonus (hereinafter abbreviated as RB), and a single bonus (hereinafter abbreviated as SB). Is mentioned. In the following description of the present embodiment, only BB and RB are provided as special roles,
It is assumed that SB is not provided.

The small combination is a combination in which a predetermined number of medals are paid out. The payout number of medals is set so as to differ depending on the type of small win. In addition, the replay is a replaying combination, and is a combination that enables a replaying while maintaining the number of inserted medals (the number of bets) in the game.

The combinations of the symbols on the reel 31 corresponding to the above various combinations are predetermined. Then, when all the reels 31 are stopped, if the combination of the symbols stopped on the activated line matches the combination of the symbols of the predetermined combination, the winning combination is won. For example, if the combination of symbols of the special role BB is set to “7” − “7” − “7”, when all the reels 31 are stopped, each reel 31 is displayed on one of the activated lines. When the symbol “7” is stopped, a BB win is achieved.

Here, although not shown, for example, five effective lines are set in a portion including the display window of the front panel. In the case of five effective lines, the effective lines are composed of three lines in the upper, middle, and lower stages in the horizontal direction, and two lines in diagonal directions of lower right and lower left. Then, the three symbols continuous from above and below the reel 31 seen from each display window are located on three effective lines in the upper, middle, and lower rows in the horizontal direction. This activated line is activated according to the number of inserted medals. When one medal is inserted, one effective line in the middle in the horizontal direction is used. When two medals are inserted, three effective lines are used in the horizontal direction. When three medals are inserted, 5 medals are used.

The game control means 60 includes the following means. The following means in the present embodiment are exemplifications, and the game control means 60 is not limited to the means shown in the present embodiment. (Position Lottery Means) The role lottery means 61 performs lottery of a role (special role, small role, replay, etc.). Role lottery means 6
1 is, for example, random number generating means (hard random number or the like) for winning lottery, random number extracting means for extracting a random number generated by the random number generating means, and winning of the hand based on the random number value extracted by the random number extracting means. Determining means for determining the presence / absence of a winning combination and the winning combination.

The random number generation means of the combination lottery means 61 generates random numbers in a predetermined area (for example, 0 to 65535 in decimal system). The random number extracting means extracts the random number generated by the random number generating means at a predetermined time, in this embodiment, when the start switch 41 is turned on by the player. The determination unit determines the combination corresponding to the area to which the random number value belongs by comparing the random number value extracted by the random number extraction unit with a lottery table 62 described later. For example, if the extracted random number value belongs to the BB winning area, it is determined that the BB has been won, and if it belongs to the non-winning area, it is determined that it has not been won.

(Lottery Table) The lottery table 62 defines the winning probability of each winning combination. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating the winning probability of each winning combination in the lottery table 62 of the present embodiment. In FIG. 2, the roles are special roles BB and R
B, with 4 types of small role 1 to 4 and replay,
The winning probability is determined for each. The winning probability of the winning combination is usually determined for each number of inserted medals (1 to 3) and for each set value of the payout ratio, but is omitted in the present embodiment.

Here, as a conventional general lottery table, the probability of non-winning is set to be the highest. However, in the lottery table 62 of the present embodiment, the winning probability of the small win 3 is set to be extremely high, 1 / 1.4 (about 71%). Thereby, the non-winning probability is set to about 1 / 94.5 (about 1%). That is, in the present embodiment,
The winning probability of the small role 2 to the small role 4 is higher than the non-winning probability.

Although not shown, the lottery table 6
In addition to 2, a special game lottery table is provided.
For example, as a lottery table for the BB game, a lottery table used in a first game (described later) of the BB game,
A lottery table used in a second game (described later) of the B game is provided. In the present embodiment, description of these lottery tables is omitted.

The lottery table 62 has a predetermined range of a lottery area, and the lottery area is divided into a winning area and a non-winning area of each combination. That is,
A predetermined ratio is set so that the winning area of each winning combination in the lottery area has the winning probability shown in FIG.

(Special Role Winning and Carrying Means) The special role winning and carrying means 63 determines in advance a combination of symbols stopped on an active line after winning a special role (BB or RB) in the role drawing by the role lottery means 61. The winning of the special role is carried over in the game until the combination of the symbols of the special role is made, that is, in the game until the special role is won.

Here, in the lottery of the role by the role lottery means 61, when a small role or a replay is won, the winning of the small role or the like is valid only in the game concerned, and after the next game, the small role is effective. Wins such as are not carried over. In other words, in the game that has won the small role, etc., if the combination of the symbols of the winning small role etc. is stopped on the active line and the small role etc. does not win, the winning of the small role etc. will be at the end of the game Invalid.

On the other hand, when the special role is won, the winning of the special role is carried over after the next game until the special role is won. Furthermore, even in a game in which the winning of the special role is carried over by the special role winning carrying means 63,
The role lottery means 61 continues the lottery of the role including the special role.

In a conventional general slot machine, during a game in which a special role is won and the special role is carried over, the random number value temporarily extracted by the role drawing by the role lottery means 61 is the special role winning. Even if it belongs to the territory, it was not determined that the special role was won. Therefore, the special role did not win again. However, in the present embodiment, the combination lottery means 61 performs the lottery of the combination including the special combination even after the special combination is won, so that the special combination may be won a plurality of times.

In this embodiment, during the game in which the special lottery is won in the lottery of the role by the role lottery means 61 and the special role is carried over by the special lottery carryover means 63, the lottery of the role by the role lottery means 61 is performed. If the special role is re-elected in, the special role that has been elected and the special role that has been elected again will be carried over. For example, when a BB is first elected and then an RB is elected, the first elected B
The winning of both B and the next winning RB will be carried over. The same applies to the opposite case. If a BB is won again after winning the BB and before winning the BB, two BBs
To carry over the election. The same applies when two RBs are won.

(Special Role Winning Number Counter) The special role winning number counter 64 counts the number of special role winnings in order to cope with the above-mentioned carryover of the special role winning. Special role winning number counter 6 of this embodiment
4 includes a BB winning number counter 64a that counts the number of BB winnings, and an RB winning number counter 64b that counts the number of RB winnings. When a BB or RB is won, the BB winning number counter 64
a or 1 in the count value of the RB winning number counter 64b
Is added.

In the present embodiment, the special role winning number counter 64 is a one-byte counter, is constituted by a RAM, and can store up to 255 winning numbers. If the count value becomes 256 or more, the count value is not added any more. However, since the winning probability of the special role is about several hundredths, it is considered that it is sufficient to be able to count up to 255 winning times. Of course, a counter capable of counting the number of winnings may be used.

When the special combination winning number counter 64 counts the number of times of winning one or more special combinations, and the combination of the special combination symbols stops on the activated line, the symbol stopped on the activated line is displayed. The count value of the winning number of the special combination according to the combination is decremented by one. For example, the number of wins is counted as 2 by the BB win number counter 64a, and the RB win number counter 64
In the case where the number of winnings of the RB is counted as 1 by b, when the combination of the symbols of the BB stops on the activated line, the number of winnings by the BB winning number counter 64a is reduced to one. In this case, the number of wins by the RB win number counter 64b is maintained at 1.

(Reel Stop Control Means) The reel stop control means 65 is in a game state (normal game state, special game state, etc.).
And the lottery result of the role lottery means 61 and the stop switch 4
The stop position of the reel 31 is determined by referring to a later-described reel stop control table 66 from the timing and the like when the 2 is turned on, and when the stop position of the reel 31 is determined, the motor 32 is drive-controlled. Thus, the reel 31 is controlled to stop at the determined position.

(Reel Stop Control Table) The reel stop control table 66 stores the result of the lottery of the role by the role lottery means 61 and the reel 3 at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated.
The stop position of the reel 31 is determined from the position 1 and the like. In the lottery of the role by the role lottery means 61, when no role has been won, the reel 31 is controlled so that the combination of symbols of any of the roles does not stop on the active line.
Stop position is determined. Further, when any of the winning combinations is won, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the combination of the symbols of the winning combination can be stopped on the activated line.

FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining the classification and type of the reel stop control table 66 in this embodiment. The plurality of reel stop control tables 66 of this embodiment include a normal game table group A, a BB internal medium table group B, an RB internal medium table group C, and a BB / RB internal medium table group D.
It is divided into four. Further, the BB / RB internal medium table group D is divided into two, a BB priority table group E and an RB priority table group F.

Here, "inside the inside" means a gaming state in which the special role has been won in the game or a game before that, but the special role has not yet been won. In addition, at the start of the normal game, a lottery of a combination is performed, and when a special combination is won in the lottery, the game is a game inside.

The normal game during-play table group A is a reel stop control table 6 used in a game that has not been won as a special role.
6. Also, a table group B inside the BB
Has won only BB (not RB)
It comprises a reel stop control table 66 used in a game. Furthermore, the RB internal medium table group C is
The reel stop control table 66 is used in a game in which only the RB is won (the BB is not won).

Further, BB / RB internal medium table group D
Is composed of a reel stop control table 66 used in a game that has been won for both BB and RB. B
Among the B / RB inside medium table group D, the BB priority table group E is composed of a reel stop control table 66 that gives priority to BB winning (rather than RB winning), and the RB priority table group F includes RB winning. Prize (than BB prize)
The reel stop control table 66 has priority.

In each of these table groups A to D (E, F), a reel stop control table 66 corresponding to each winning combination is defined. The reel stop control table 66 corresponding to each winning combination includes a BB table 66a, an RB table 66b, a small combination 1 table 66c, a small combination 2 table 6
6d, small part 3 table 66e, small part 4 table 66f,
It is composed of a replay table 66g and a non-winning table 66h.

The BB table 66a is used on condition that at least BB has been won in the game or a previous game, and based on the timing when the stop switch 42 is turned on, the combination of BB symbols is determined. The combination of the symbols when the reel 31 is stopped is determined so that the reel 31 is stopped so as not to stop at the activated line or to prevent any combination of the symbols of the combination from being stopped at the activated line (the winning of the combination is not achieved).

The RB table 66b is used on condition that at least RB has been won in the game or a previous game, and based on the timing when the stop switch 42 is turned on, the combination of RB symbols is determined. The reels 31 are stopped so as not to stop at the activated line or to stop any combination of symbols of the winning combination at the activated line.
The combination of symbols at the time of stop is determined. Therefore,
When both the BB and the RB are won, the BB table 66a may be used, and the RB table 66a may be used.
b may be used in some cases.

Further, the small win 1 table 66c, the small win 2 table 66d, the small win 3 table 66e, and the small win 4 table 66f correspond to the small win 1, the small win 2, and the small win 3 in the game.
And a combination of the symbols of the small role 1, the small role 2, the small combination 3 and the small combination 4 are enabled based on the timing when the stop switch 42 is turned on. To stop at the line or not to stop any combination of symbols in the active line,
The combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped is determined.

Further, the replay table 66g is
It is used as a condition that the player has won the replay in the game, and based on the timing when the stop switch 42 is turned on, the combination of the symbols of the replay is stopped on the activated line, or the symbol combination of any combination The combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped is determined so as not to stop on the activated line.

Further, the non-winning table 66h is used on condition that no winning has been won, and based on the timing when the stop switch 42 is turned on, the combination of symbols of any winning is effective. The combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped is determined so as not to stop on the line.

As described above, when one of the small wins and replays is won in the game and the small win 1 table 66c to the small win 4 table 66f or the replay table 66g is used, the winning small win or replay is performed. There is a case where the combination of symbols does not stop on the activated line, and a case where the combination of symbols of any combination does not stop on the activated line. Therefore, in addition to the case where the winning small role or replay wins, there may be a case where a non-prize is won. In other words, even if the small role is won for the small role 1 to the small role 4 or the replay, the winning rate of those roles is 100
%is not.

When the small win 1 table 66c to the small win 4 table 66f or the replay table 66g is used, even if the player wins the BB or the RB by the previous game, the symbols of the BB or the RB are not displayed. The combination does not stop on the active line.

When the BB or RB is won and the BB table 66a or the RB table 66b is used, the combination of the winning BB or RB symbols stops on the active line. There are cases where the combination of symbols of the hand does not stop at the activated line. Therefore,
In addition to the case where the winning BB or RB wins, there are cases where a non-winning occurs. Furthermore, when the BB table 66a is used in a case where both the BB and the RB have been won, the BB may win, but the RB does not win. Similarly, when the RB table 66b is used, the RB may win, but the BB does not.

(Preferential special role lottery means) The priority special role lottery means 67, when winning both BB and RB,
It is determined by lottery which combination of symbols, BB or RB, is given priority to stop at the activated line. This lottery is performed every game in a game that has been won for both BB and RB.

In the present embodiment, the priority special role lottery means 67
Comprises soft random numbers. Then, in the same way as the role lottery means 61, B
It is determined whether to give priority to the winning of B or the winning of RB. Here, the probability of deciding to give priority to BB winning and the probability of deciding to give priority to RB winning can be arbitrarily set. For example, the probability of deciding to give priority to BB winning is 15 / 16, the probability of giving priority to RB winning is set to 1/16.

(Reel Stop Control Table Selection Means) The reel stop control table selection means 68 selects a reel stop control table 66 used by the reel stop control means 65 in the game. First, when no special combination has been won by the game, the reel stop control table selecting means 68 selects the reel stop control table 66 from the table group A during the normal game. When only the BB has been won by the game, the reel stop control table 66 is selected from the table group B inside the BB. Furthermore, when only the RB has been won by the game, the reel stop control table 66 is selected from the table group C inside the RB.

Further, when both the BB and the RB have been won by the game, the reel stop control table selecting means 68 selects the BB priority table group E or the RB according to the lottery result of the priority special role lottery means 67. The reel stop control table 66 is selected from the priority table group F. In particular,
When it is determined that the winning of the BB is given priority by the lottery of the special priority combination lottery means 67, the reel stop control table 66 is selected from the BB priority table group E. On the other hand, when it is determined that the RB winning is prioritized,
The reel stop control table 66 is selected from the B priority table group F.

Further, the reel stop control table selecting means 68 includes a reel stop control table 66 corresponding to the lottery result of the winning lottery means 61 in the game, that is, a BB table 66a, an RB table 66b, and a small win 1 table 66.
c, the reel stop control table 66 is selected from the small win 2 table 66d, the small win 3 table 66e, the small win 4 table 66f, the replay table 66g, and the non-winning table 66h.

In the above case, for example, if only BB has been won by the game and the small win 1 has been won by the game, the reel stop control table selecting means 68
Selects the small win 1 table 66c corresponding to the winning of the small win 1 from the table group B inside the BB. In the game, the reel stop control means 65 selects the selected small combination 1 table 6
With reference to 6c, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined, and the reel 31 is controlled to stop at the determined position.

(Special game control means) Special game control means 6
9 controls the transition from the normal game to the special game, the progress of the game during the special game, the transition from the special game to the normal game, and the like. The special game control means 69 includes special game transfer means, special game progress means, special game end means, and the like.

The special game shifting means shifts the normal game to the special game on condition that the combination of the symbols stopped on the activated line matches a predetermined combination of symbols of the special combination. For example, when a BB wins, the normal game is shifted to the BB game, and when an RB wins, the normal game is shifted to the RB game. At the time of the transition, in order to inform the player that the transition to the special game is to be performed, various effects such as lighting of the lamp 33, output of sound from the speaker 34, image display by the image display device 35, and the like are performed.

The special game proceeding means includes a BB game and an RB
It controls the progress of the game during the game. B
In the B game, the special game proceeding means first
Start the game. In the first game, as in the normal game, a predetermined number of medals (for example, three) are inserted to play a game. In this first game, the role selected by the role lottery means 61 is specified. It is a small role and a transition role for shifting to the second game. In the first game, the upper limit of the number of games is predetermined to be, for example, 30 times. Then, the special game progress means keeps counting the number of games in the first game.

In addition, the special game progress means, under the condition that the combination of symbols stopped on the activated line during the first game matches the combination of symbols of the transfer combination for shifting to the second game In other words, the game is shifted from the first game to the second game on condition that a winning combination is achieved. When shifting from the first game to the second game, to inform the player of it,
The valid line in which the combination of the symbols of the transfer role is aligned is indicated by the ramp 33.
, And a process of outputting a different sound from the speaker 34 during the first game up to that time.

At the time of shifting to the second game, the special game proceeding means counts the number of games during the second game and the number of winnings of the predetermined combination. In the second game, for example, only one medal can be inserted, and only the active line at the middle stage in the horizontal direction is activated,
The game is controlled such that the combination of symbols of the predetermined combination is stopped (for example, the predetermined combination wins) with a high probability of about 90% on this activated line. Then, in the second game, whether the number of winnings of the predetermined combination reaches a specified number (for example, eight),
Alternatively, the game is continued until the number of games reaches a specified number (for example, 12 times). In order to determine whether or not the end condition of the second game is satisfied, the special game progress means counts the number of games and the number of winnings of the predetermined combination.

When the number of games of the second game or the number of winnings of the predetermined combination reaches the specified number of times, the special game proceeding means terminates the second game and determines that the BB game end condition is not satisfied. As a condition, control is performed so as to return to the first game again.

Here, in the BB game, the upper limit of the number of transitions from the first game to the second game is set to a specified number (for example, three times). Therefore, when the second game ends when the specified number of times has been reached, the BB game is ended without shifting to the first game again. For this reason, the special game progress means counts the number of times the game has shifted from the first game to the second game during the BB game. For example, B
At the time of the first game in the B game, a transfer combination for shifting to the second game wins, and when shifting to the second game, 1 is added to the number of shifts.

In the RB game, the second game in the BB game is performed as one set, that is, a game in which a predetermined combination is won with a high probability until the specified number of winnings or the specified number of games is reached. In the RB game, the special game progress means keeps counting the number of games or the number of winnings of the predetermined combination.

The special game ending means determines whether or not the special game ending condition is satisfied during the special game. When it is determined that the special game ending condition is satisfied, the special game is ended and the special game is ended. It is to return to the game.

When the special game is a BB game, for example, the second game when the number of games of the first game reaches the specified number of times, or when the number of transitions from the first game to the second game reaches the specified number of times. When the number of games or the number of winnings of the predetermined combination reaches a specified number in the game, the special game ending means determines that the BB game ending condition is satisfied. In addition, when the special game is, for example, an RB game, and when the number of games or the number of winnings of the predetermined combination reaches a predetermined number of times, the special game ending means sets an RB game ending condition. It is determined that the condition is satisfied.

In addition to the above means, the game control means 60
Although not shown, it is provided with a prize determining means, a payout means, an effect output control means and the like. The winning determination means determines whether or not the combination of symbols stopped on any of the activated lines when the reel 31 is stopped matches a predetermined combination of symbols of any combination. The winning determination means determines the symbol on the activated line by detecting, for example, the angle when the motor 32 is stopped, the number of steps, and the like, and determines the presence or absence of a winning combination based on this.

The payout means, when it is determined by the winning determination means that the combination of the symbols stopped on the activated line when the reel 31 is stopped matches the combination of the symbols of any of the winning combinations, a predetermined number of payouts in accordance with the established winning combinations. Is paid out to the player or processing such as credit addition is performed. At the time of winning a replay, control is performed so that the number of medals inserted in the game is automatically inserted without paying out medals.

The effect output control means controls the output of various effects during the game. Peripheral devices that output effects include the above-described lamp 33, speaker 34,
And an image display device 35.

The effect output control means has a data table in which the effect contents are determined for each effect pattern, and selects one of the effect patterns from the data table based on the lottery result of the role by the role lottery means 61. Then, the contents of the effect determined in the selected effect pattern are output. Each effect pattern includes, for example, a lighting pattern of the lamp 33,
A sound output pattern from the speaker 34 and an output image pattern from the image display device 35 are defined.

Next, stop control of the reel 31 in a game in which a special combination has been won will be described. First, B
When only B is won, a predetermined reel stop control table 66 (66a to 66h) is selected from the table group B inside the BB based on the result of the lottery of the role by the lottery means 61, and the selected reel stop control table 66 is selected. Reel stop control table 66
Is stopped based on the control (first stop control b when the first special combination is won).

As described above, the probability that the small win 3 is won in each game is very high, about 71%. On the other hand, the probability of non-winning is about 1% (about 1% in 100 games).
Rate), which is a very low probability.

In the game in which only BB has been won, if the small win 3 is won, the small win 3 table 66e
Is selected. When the small role 3 table 66e is selected, the operation timing of the stop switch 42
Either the small role 3 wins or no role wins. That is, as long as the small win 3 table 66e is selected, BB does not win. B
In the table group B inside B, the BB table 66a having the possibility of winning the BB is selected for a game when the BB is won or a game when the role is not won. Therefore, BB
The probability that the BB table 66a is selected in a game that has been won only by the player is extremely low, and the BB winning probability is also low. As described above, there is almost no chance of winning the BB simply by winning only the BB, and it is highly likely that games in which the BB does not win continue.

On the other hand, when only the RB has been won, the R
A predetermined reel stop control table 66 is selected from the table group C inside B, and the reel 31 is controlled to be stopped based on the selected reel stop control table 66 (the second reel when the second special role is elected). Stop control).

In a game that has been won only for the RB,
Or even when winning the small role 4, even if the RB table 6
6b is selected. When the RB table 66b is selected, depending on the operation timing of the stop switch 42, the RB wins or does not win any combination. In other words, in a game that has been won only for RB, even if it is won for the small win 3 or the small win 4, the small win 3 or the small win 4 does not win. further,
The RB table 66b is also selected when the role is not won. Therefore, in the game that has been won only for the RB, the RB table 66
The probability that b is selected is about 74%. From the above, R
In the game that has been won only for B, the chance of winning the RB increases.

Further, when both the BB and the RB are won, based on the result of the lottery of the role by the role lottery means 61, a predetermined reel stop control table is obtained from the BB priority table group E or the RB priority table group F. 66 is selected,
The reel 31 is controlled to stop based on the selected reel stop control table 66 (third stop control when the first special combination and the second special combination are won).

In a game in which both BB and RB have been won, when a small win 1, a small win 2 and a replay are won, the small win 1 table 66c, the small win 2 table 66d or the replay table 66g are selected, respectively. Is done. When any of these reel stop control tables 66 is selected, the operation timing of the stop switch 42
Either the small win 1, the small win 2, or the replay wins, or none of the wins.

In other cases, the BB table 66a
Alternatively, one of the RB tables 66b is selected by lottery. That is, the small win 3 or the small win 4 with a high winning probability
Is not selected, the small win 3 table 66e and the small win 4 table 66f are not selected. Therefore, BB and RB
BB table 66a
Or the probability that the RB table 66b is selected increases,
The chances of winning BBs and RBs increase.

In a game in which both BB and RB are won, the priority special role lottery means 67 selects one of BB and RB
Which combination of symbols is prioritized to stop at the activated line is determined by lottery. For example, in a game that has been won as the small role 3 or the small role 4, the BB table 66a is selected when it is decided to give priority to the BB prize, and the RB is decided when the priority is given to the RB prize. The table 66b is selected. As mentioned above, B
Assuming that the probability of giving priority to the winning of B is set to 15/16 and the probability of giving priority to winning of RB is set to 1/16, the probability that the BB table 66a is selected in the above game is 15/16, and the RB table 66b Is 1/16
Becomes Therefore, in a game in which both the BB and the RB are won, the probability that the BB table 66a is selected increases. As a result, the chance of winning the BB is greater than the chance of winning the RB.

As described above, during the game, when the player first wins the RB, the probability that the RB table 66b is selected increases, so that the chance of winning the RB increases. On the other hand, when the BB is first won, the reel stop control table 66 is selected from the BB internal middle table group B until the RB is won, so that the probability that the BB table 66a is selected is reduced, and the BB is reduced. Will have few chances to win.

Therefore, when a player first wins a BB, the player often keeps playing the game until the RB wins. If the BB wins again during this time, the winning of a plurality of BBs is carried over by the special role winning carry-over means 63, so that there is no disadvantage to the player.

Then, for example, after BB wins three times, R
When the player wins B, BB / RB internal medium table group D
Since the reel stop control table 66 corresponding to the winning combination is selected from the (BB priority table group E or the RB priority table group F), the player can obtain many opportunities to win the BB. In this case, if the RB table 66b is selected, the player should operate the stop switch 42 so that the RB does not win.
At this point, if the RB wins first, the carryover of the winning of the RB is released, and the special role in which the winning is carried over is 3
This is because there is only one BB. Then, when the winning of only BB is carried over, as described above, the reel stop control table 66 corresponding to the winning combination is selected from the BB internal middle table group B, and the selection probability of the BB table 66a is reduced. This is because the chance of winning the winning BB is reduced.

Therefore, for example, when the player wins the BB three times and then wins the RB, the player wins the three BBs sequentially while avoiding the winning of the RB, and finishes the three BB games. What is necessary is just to finish the RB game by winning the RB.

Next, the flow of the carryover process at the time of winning the special combination and the flow of the selection process of the reel stop control table 66 will be described with reference to a flowchart. FIGS. 4 to 6 are flowcharts illustrating the flow of the above-described processing in the first embodiment. FIG. 5 is a flowchart following FIG.
FIG. 6 is a flowchart following FIG. First, when the power of the slot machine 10 is turned on, in step S1 of FIG. 4, the game control means 60 initializes the RAM, and counts the count value X of the BB winning number counter 64a and the RB winning number counter 64b. Are initialized (X = 0, Y = 0).

The player inserts a medal into the slot machine 10, activates the activated line, and starts the start switch 4.
Turn 1 on. In step S2, the game control means 6
0 is to continuously detect whether or not the start switch 41 is turned on. When the start switch 41 is detected to be turned on, each reel 31 is started, and the process proceeds to the next step S3, where the lottery of the role by the role lottery means 61 is performed. . In the next step S4, a winning combination in the game is determined.

Then, the process proceeds to a step S5, wherein the special role (BB)
Alternatively, it is determined whether or not RB) has been won. If it is determined that no prize has been won, the process proceeds to step S9 in FIG. 5, and if it is determined that the WIN has been won, the process proceeds to step S6. In step S6, it is determined whether or not the winning special combination is BB. If it is determined that it is BB, the process proceeds to step S7, and if it is determined that it is not BB (it is RB), the process proceeds to step S8.

In step S7, the special role winning carry-over means 63 sets the count value X of the BB winning number counter 64a.
Is added to (X = X + 1), and the process proceeds to step S9. In step S8, the special role winning carryover means 63
One is added to the count value Y of the RB winning number counter 64b (Y = Y + 1), and the process proceeds to step S9.

In step S9, it is determined whether or not at least one of X ≧ 1 or Y ≧ 1 is satisfied, that is, whether or not at least one of BB or RB has been won. Here, the determination is made based on the count value of the special combination winning number counter 64. The same applies to the following determination.

In step S9, if at least one of X ≧ 1 or Y ≧ 1 is not satisfied, that is, if neither BB nor RB has been won, the process proceeds to step S14. When it is determined in step S9 that at least one of X ≧ 1 or Y ≧ 1 is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S10. Step S
At 10, it is determined whether or not X ≧ 1 and Y ≧ 1 are satisfied, that is, whether or not at least both BB and RB are won one by one. If it is determined in step S10 that X ≧ 1 and Y ≧ 1 are satisfied, the process proceeds to step S11. If it is determined that they are not satisfied (when only one of BB and RB is won), the process proceeds to step S11. S13
Proceed to.

In step S11, a special lottery with priority is selected. That is, the priority special role lottery means 67
It is determined by lottery which of BB or RB is given a higher priority for winning the special role. Then, the process proceeds to step S12, and it is determined whether or not it is determined that the BB winning is given priority in the lottery in step S11. When it is determined that the BB winning is determined to be prioritized, the process proceeds to step S16; otherwise (when it is determined that the RB winning is prioritized), the process proceeds to step S15.

In step S15, the reel stop control table selecting means 68 selects one of the reel stop control tables 66 corresponding to the winning combination from the RB priority table group F. On the other hand, in step S16, the reel stop control table selecting means 68 sets the BB priority table group E
, One of the reel stop control tables 66 corresponding to the winning combination is selected.

Also, in step S9, RB is also set to RB.
If it is determined that the winning combination has not been won and the process proceeds to step S14, the reel stop control table selecting means 68 selects one of the reel stop control tables 66 corresponding to the winning combination from the table group A during the normal game.

Further, when the process proceeds from step S10 to step S13, X ≧ 1 (the BB has been won).
Is determined. When it is determined that X ≧ 1, the process proceeds to step S17, and when it is determined that X ≧ 1 (the RB has been won), the process proceeds to step S18. In step S17, the reel stop control table selecting means 68
Selects any reel stop control table 66 corresponding to the winning combination from the table group B inside the BB. On the other hand, in step S18, the reel stop control table selecting means 68 selects one of the reel stop control tables 66 corresponding to the winning combination from the RB internal medium table group C.

After steps S14 to S18,
The process proceeds to step S19. After starting the reel 31 by turning on the start switch 41, the player
By pressing the stop switch 42, the rotation of the reel 31 is stopped. In step S19, the game control means 60
Continues to detect whether or not the stop switch 42 has been turned on. If the stop switch 42 has been turned on, the process proceeds to step S20. In step S20, the reel stop control means 65
Based on the timing when the stop switch 42 is operated, one of the reel stop control tables 66 selected in steps S14 to S18 is referred to, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined, and the reel is moved to the determined position. 31 is stopped and controlled.

In the next step S21, the game control means 6
If 0, it is determined whether all the reels 31 have stopped. If it is determined that all the reels 31 have stopped, the process proceeds to step S22 in FIG. On the other hand, in step S21,
When it is determined that all the reels 31 are not stopped,
It returns to step S19.

In step S22, the winning determination means determines whether or not the special combination has won, that is, whether or not the combination of the symbols of the special combination has stopped on the activated line. When it is determined that the special combination has been won, the process proceeds to step S25. On the other hand, when it is determined that the special combination has not won, the process proceeds to step S23, and the winning determination unit determines whether a small combination other than the special combination or a replay has won.

If it is determined in step S23 that a small role or a replay has been won, the process proceeds to step S24,
The payout means performs processing such as payout of medals according to the winning combination. At the time of winning the small role, predetermined processing such as payout of medals is performed, and the process returns to step S2. At the time of winning a replay, a re-game process is performed while maintaining the number of medals inserted in the previous game, and the process returns to step S2. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S23 that no small winning combination has been won, that is, if no winning combination has been won, the process returns to step S2 without performing processing such as payout.

When it is determined in step S22 that a special combination has been won, the process proceeds to step S25. In step S25, the winning determination means determines whether or not a BB has been won, that is, whether or not the combination of BB symbols has stopped at the activated line. Is determined. If it is determined that BB has won, the process proceeds to step S26, where BB
Is determined to have not won (RB has won), the process proceeds to step S27.

In step S26, the special role winning carry-over means 63 sets the count X of the BB winning number counter 64a.
Is subtracted from (X = X-1), and the process proceeds to step S28. In step S27, the special role winning carry-over means 63 subtracts 1 from the count value of the RB winning number counter 64b (Y = Y-1), and proceeds to step S28.
That is, in steps S26 and S27, the count value for the winning special combination is decremented by one.

In the step S28, the special game control means 6
9 starts a special game. At the time of BB winning, the BB game is started, and at the time of RB winning, the RB game is started. Then, in the next step S29, the special game control means 69 proceeds with the special game and continues to determine whether or not the end condition of the special game is satisfied. When it is determined that the end condition of the special game is satisfied, the special game is ended and the process returns to step S2.

(Second Embodiment) Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the second embodiment, when a special role is carried over by the special role winning carry-over means 63 and a role other than the special role is won, the symbol combination of the special role is stopped on the activated line, or Either perform stop control that does not stop the combination of the symbol combinations of the winning combination on the active line, or stop the combination of the combinations of the roles other than the winning special role on the active line, or stop the combination of the symbols of any combination on the active line. Priority stop control lottery means for determining whether to perform stop control by not performing a lottery is provided.

In the second embodiment, the same reel stop control table 66 (66a to 66a) as that shown in the first embodiment is used.
6h) is used. Then, the priority stop control lottery means determines which reel stop control table 66 to use by lottery. For example, a small role 1, a small role 2, a small role 3, and a small role 4 are provided as "roles other than the special role". And BB
In a game that has been elected only, when a small role 1 to a small role 4 is elected, a small combination 1 table 6
Whether to select the 6c to small win 4 table 66f or the BB table 66a is determined by lottery.

The selection probability of the reel stop control table 66 determined by the lottery may be any. For example, in a game in which only BB has been won, when winning in small wins 1 to 4, the small win 1 table 66 c to small win 4 table 66 f has a 90% probability, respectively.
And selecting the BB table 66a with a probability of 10%.

Further, in the game in which only the RB is won, when the small win 1 or the small win 2 is won, the small win 1 table 66c or the small win 2 table 66d is selected with a probability of 90%, respectively. Selecting the RB table 66b with a probability of%. In addition, when the small part 3 or the small part 4 is won, the RB table 66b is selected with a probability of 90%, and the small part 3 table 66e with a probability of 10%, respectively.
