DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a game machine installed and used in a game room such as a pachinko parlor.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A slot machine installed and used in a game arcade such as a pachinko parlor is called a pachislot machine, and a medal used as a game medium is given a certain value to play a game (game). Can be exchanged for various prizes. For this reason, it is common for a player to play a game only for the purpose of obtaining a large amount of medals, and to select a platform that is easily probabilistically easy to obtain a right to play a bonus game. . The slot machine has a structure in which the reels are driven by a stepping motor, and determines whether or not the winning is performed and the type thereof by electronic lottery based on sampling of random numbers, and performs stop control of the reels in response to the determination. Therefore, it is possible to adjust the occurrence probability of the winning by the electronic lottery in a software manner so as to create a state in which the winning can be easily obtained, and use this to play a bonus game. In addition,
In the present specification, a pachislot machine is described as an example, so a medal is used as a game medium, but the game medium also includes other media such as coins and pachinko balls. "Inserting medals (game media)" also includes betting credited medals with a bet button or the like.

[0003] Examples of the bonus game include a game performed by shifting to a big bonus (hereinafter, BB) mode and a game performed by shifting to a regular bonus (hereinafter, RB) mode. This can be done by winning the winning combination BB and RB.

[0004] For example, the shift to the RB mode is performed when the pattern of the reel is aligned to "BAR-BAR-BAR".
The game is played with a medal bet, and the game ends with winning a maximum of 8 times or playing a maximum of 12 games. In addition, when shifting to the BB mode, the picture of the reel is changed to, for example, “7-
The game in the BB mode is repeated two to three times in the BB mode. Further, in the BB mode, there is a case in which a right to bet on one to three medals with a high winning probability and playing a game is given before shifting to the RB mode. When the winning (bonus in) pattern is completed, the mode shifts to the RB mode. When a game in the RB mode or the BB mode is performed, a larger number of medals can be obtained as compared with the game in the normal mode. In addition,
In the present specification, winning a reel pattern corresponding to a winning combination is referred to as a prize, and a state in which a winning combination is drawn by electronic lottery in a state before winning is referred to as an internal prize.

[0005] Against this background, the mode of the bonus game and the bonus game mode within a range that does not impair the profits of the amusement arcade are provided so that even the side that manufactures the slot machine can attract many players. We are developing something that elaborates on the conditions for shifting to. Then, there is a tendency to increase opportunities to be able to play a bonus game, and to provide a game characterized by the possibility that a player can acquire a larger amount of medals in a short period of time at least in a stochastic manner.

[0006] As a kind of pachislot machine having a possibility of obtaining a large number of medals in a short period of time, a game machine provided with a storage game mode (hereinafter, stock time mode) is currently installed in a game arcade. In the stock time mode, for example, a transition from the normal mode is performed on condition that the BB winning is internally won, and the ending condition is that the game is played a specified number of times or the internally winning BB winning is won. In a game in the stock time mode, a lottery probability of a replay winning in which the next game can be performed with the same bet number without inserting a medal increases.

[0007] In this stock time mode, the BB or RB that has won internally can be carried over after the next game. Therefore, if the winning BB or RB is not won during the stock time mode, the winning BB or RB is stored (stocked) in the order of the internal winning. Then, after playing the specified number of games and ending the stock time mode,
The player sequentially wins the stored BBs or RBs in the order in which they have been won. In the game under the stock time mode, since the lottery probability of the replay winning is high, the game can be performed without reducing the number of medals. When a large number of BBs or RBs are stocked, the stock time mode ends. Later, the bonus game can be repeatedly executed. For this reason, the stock time mode can greatly enhance the interest of the player, and the player plays the game while having a great expectation of obtaining a large number of medals.

[0008]

However, in the above-mentioned pachislot machine, there is a device that displays the number of stored BBs or RBs that have won internally during the stock time mode, and a device that displays the change in the number of balls that are thrown out on the stand (slump). (A pachislot machine with a graph function), or one that displays the number of net increase medals in one BB mode. For example, BB or RB
When the stored number is displayed, the player can be informed of how much has been stored in the stock time mode, so that the player can win the stored BB and RB with confidence, while the BB mode or RB The mode game becomes light and does not stir the interest of the player. In addition, when there is a slump graph function, BB
In the case of the net increase medal number display in the mode, the transition of the payout number and the number of acquired medals are known, but for example, when shifting to one stock time mode, it is possible to satisfy a player's interest in how many medals were acquired. Not something.

To solve the above problems, the present invention provides
It is an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine capable of giving a player interest by displaying a stock time medal number in a stock time mode period and a stored bonus game.

[0010]

In order to achieve the above object, a gaming machine of the present invention responds to operation of winning combination determination means for determining a winning combination by lottery at the start of each game and reel stop means. And reel control means for controlling the reel stop so as to stop the picture constituting the winning combination determined by the winning combination determining means on the winning line, and storing a special winning combination not obtained when the reel is stopped. A special winning combination storing means, wherein when the special winning combination in which the bonus in the game is larger than the normal game is drawn by the winning combination determining means, a small value having a lower value added than the special winning combination is obtained. Into a stock time mode that makes it easier to win either the role or a replaying role that replays without using the game media, and allows the special winning role that has been won to be stored in the special role storing means. Migrate And during the game time in the stock time mode, and during the game time in the role mode in which the special winning combination stored in the special winning combination storing means is awarded after the end of the stock time mode. It is provided with a counter for counting the net increase in value, and count display means for displaying the count number of this counter after the end of the accessory mode. The value-added net increase is, for example, the net increase in the number of medals.

[0011] Further, the display of the net added value by the count display means is performed every time the game in the role mode is completed by winning the special winning combination stored in the special winning combination storing means. It is. Further, in the game between the end of the game in the stock time mode and the winning of the special winning combination, when the winning combination drawn by the winning combination determining means becomes the special winning combination, The special winning combination is stored in the special winning combination storing means, and the counting by the counter means is performed until the specialty winning mode in which the internally won special winning combination is obtained after the special game mode ends is ended. As a result, it is possible to emphasize the feeling of jumping to the player.

The program includes a means for determining a winning combination by lottery at the start of each game, a means for stopping the reels, and a reel for stopping the picture constituting the determined winning combination on the winning line. Means for controlling the stop of the reels, means for storing the special winning combinations not obtained when the reels are stopped, and the special winning combinations in which the bonuses in the game are larger than those in the normal game. Either a small role with a lower added value than the winning role, or a replaying role that replays without using a game medium, is made easier to win,
In addition to the means for shifting to the stock time mode in which the winning special winning combination can be stored, the game is performed in the stock time mode and after the stock time mode ends, and the special winning is performed. Means for counting the net added value during the game period in the role mode in which the special winning combination stored in the role storing means is won, and the counted number of the net added value during the stock time mode after the end of the stock time mode. The computer of the gaming machine functions as the display means. The storage medium is a medium that stores a program and that can be read by a computer.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS As shown in FIG. 1, a slot machine 2 has a stock time in addition to a normal mode, a BB mode which is shifted by obtaining a BB winning, and an RB mode which is shifted by obtaining an RB winning. (Hereinafter, ST) mode is set. There are two types of BB prizes: a super BB prize and a normal BB prize.
The system is shifted to the super BB mode by obtaining the B prize and to the normal BB mode by obtaining the normal BB prize. In addition, as described later in detail, the super BB
In the mode, a larger number of medals can be easily obtained than in the normal BB mode.

The ST mode is a game in the normal mode.
The B winning is a transition condition, and the ending condition is that the number of game repetitions reaches a predetermined number of games or that the internally won BB winning is won. And in the game under ST mode,
BB winning lottery is performed, and when the BB wins internally, it is stored by type or in winning order. And
When the number of game repetitions reaches a predetermined number of games set in advance, after the ST mode ends, the stored BBs can be successively won in the order of internal winning. The special winning combination described in the claims includes both BB and RB, but the slot machine 2 of the present embodiment will be described as storing only two types of BBs.

In the slot machine 2, four display windows 5 to 8 are provided on a front door 4 of a housing 3, and a first reel 9a, a second reel 9b, and a third reel 9b are provided behind the respective display windows 5 to 8. Reel 9c
The sub reel 10 is rotatably incorporated.
As is well known, various pictures are arranged at a constant pitch on the outer periphery of the first to third reels 9a to 9c, and three pictures per reel are observed through the display windows 5 to 8 when the reels are stopped. Is done. As a result, a total of five straight winning lines, two diagonal lines and two diagonal winning lines in which the patterns on each reel are combined one by one are set.

Prior to the start of the game, the medal slot 11
When one medal is inserted from, one central horizontal pay line is activated, two horizontal pay lines, and three horizontal pay lines, and three diagonal additional five pay lines are activated. In addition, a maximum of 50 medals can be stored, and the number of stored medals is displayed on the credit indicator 12. Also, the start lever 13
Is provided with a display window 14 for a net number increase, and a display surface of a net number display 43 (see FIG. 2) to be described later is disposed on the rear side.

When the start lever 13 for starting the game is operated, the rightmost sub reel 10
9c, the internal winning is started when the BB winning flag for shifting to, for example, the BB mode is drawn by electronic lottery at the time of operating the start lever 13, and further, the "STO"
Stop control is performed at the position where the pattern of “CK TIME” is displayed. Thereby, it is displayed that the mode shifts from the normal mode to the ST mode. When the ST mode ends, “B
IG "is displayed, indicating that the BB has won internally.

Further, the sub reel 10 displays the type of the BB winning to the player. "N" is displayed when the normal BB winning flag for shifting to the normal BB mode by electronic lottery is displayed, and "S" is displayed when the super BB winning flag is drawn. In addition, the sub reel 10
In the super BB mode, a symbol representing a type of a small winning flag such as a bell or a cherry, which is drawn, is displayed. On the other hand, in the normal BB mode, a small selected lottery flag is displayed. Absent. For this reason, the game in the super BB mode becomes easier for the player to arrange the small role patterns than in the game in the normal BB mode.
A game in the super BB mode is easier to obtain a larger number of medals than in the B mode.

Stop button 15 serving as reel stopping means
Various operation buttons such as a single bet button, a double bet button, a MAX bet button, and a payout button are provided on the operation panel above a to 15c to be operated when playing a game with a medal credited. Have been. Since the functions of these operation buttons are all well known, the details are omitted. A medal tray 16 is provided at a lower portion of the housing 3.
, A payout medal obtained when a prize is obtained in the game is paid out.

As shown in FIG. 2, the operation of the slot machine 2 is basically controlled by a microcomputer including a CPU 18 and a memory 19. The medal sensor 20 detects a proper medal inserted from the medal insertion slot 11 and inputs the detected medal to the control unit 18a of the CPU 18. A selector is installed in the back of the medal insertion slot 11, and inappropriate medals are discharged to a medal tray 16. In addition, when a medal is inserted at an inappropriate timing, for example, a medal inserted in the middle of a game or in a state where various operation buttons are kept pressed, the selector does not pass through the medal sensor 20. It is discharged to the medal tray 16.

Since the number of medals inserted before the start of the game is limited to one to three, the medal sensor 20 detects the medals inserted after the fourth one when the credit function is not used. It is discharged to the medal tray 16 without being performed. The credit function is switched on / off for each push of the payout button. When the credit function is on, the medals inserted after the fourth one are also detected by the medal sensor 20, and 5
A maximum of zero cards are stored inside the slot machine 2. The number of stored medals is digitally displayed on the credit indicator 12. When the credit function is used, a medal insertion operation is performed by operating the single bet button or the MAX bet button, and the number of bets is sequentially subtracted from the number of credits. When a win is obtained as a result of the game, a payout medal is also credited, and when the payout button is operated, the credited medal is paid out to the medal tray 16.

The control unit 18a determines the number of one to three medals inserted prior to the start of the game with the medal sensor 20.
Counting based on the detection signal from the CPU, thereby determining the number of activated pay lines. The bet number of medals inserted each time the game is started is integrated and counted by the inserted medal counter 21. The number of credits is counted by another credit medal counter (not shown).

The start signal generator 22 inputs a game start signal to the controller 18a when the start lever 13 is operated after one to three medals have been inserted. Each time a game start signal is input, the count value of the game number counter 23 is incremented by “1”. Therefore, the number of games executed in the slot machine 2 can be identified by referring to the count value of the game number counter 23.

Upon receiving the game start signal, the controller 18
“a” rotates the first to third reels 9 a to 9 c and the sub reel 10 based on the game execution program stored in the ROM area of the memory 19 and starts the game processing. The drive and stop control of each reel is performed by the reel drive controller 24. Each reel is fixed to a drive shaft of each of the stepping motors 25a to 25d, and control of each reel is performed by controlling driving of each of the stepping motors 25a to 25d. The RAM area of the memory 19 is a working area, and is used for temporary storage and rewriting of flags and data used for each game.

Since the stepping motors 25a to 25d rotate at a rotation angle corresponding to the number of supplied drive pulses, the controller 18a controls the number of supplied drive pulses to control the first to third reels 9a to 9c and 9d. The rotation angle of the sub reel 10 can be controlled, and the stop position of the reel can be determined by stopping the supply of the drive pulse. In addition, each reel is integrally formed with reflection signal portions 26a to 26d at its reference position, and the photo sensors 27a to 27d photoelectrically detect the passage of the respective reflection signal portions 26a to 26d for each rotation. The detection signals from the photosensors 27a to 27d are transmitted from the reset signal generator 28 to the control unit 18 as a reset signal for each reel.
is input to a.

A pulse counter is provided inside the control unit 18a for each stepping motor, and counts the number of driving pulses supplied to each stepping motor. Then, when a reset signal is input from the reset signal generator 28, the count value of the corresponding pulse counter is cleared. Therefore, in each pulse counter, the number of drive pulses corresponding to the rotation angle within one rotation of each reel is stored while being sequentially updated.

A picture table is stored in the ROM area of the memory 19. The picture table stores the number of drive pulses corresponding to the rotation angle of each reel from the reference position, and the picture patterns arranged on the reel at a constant pitch. Is associated with a picture code representing Therefore, by monitoring the count value of the pulse counter for each reel, it is possible to identify, for example, which pattern is moving on the central winning line, and to further rotate the reel, Can be predicted on the winning line.

The stop signal generator 29 inputs a stop signal for each reel to the controller 18a when the stop buttons 15a to 15c are operated. Start lever 1
3 to start rotation of all reels, and when these rotations reach a steady speed, the stop buttons 15a to 15c
Operation is enabled. Then, by operating these, the corresponding first to third reels 15a to 15a to 1
The stop control of 5c is started. As described above, the control unit 18
a functions as reel control means. When a plurality of stop buttons are operated, only the reel with the earlier timing is stopped, and when completely operated simultaneously, none of the reels is stopped.

The controller 18a operates the electronic lottery device 30 in response to the game start signal. The electronic lottery device 30 includes a random number generator and a random value sampling circuit, selects one random value every time the game is started, and generates a winning in the currently executed game according to the value. Decide. Thus, the control unit 18a and the electronic lottery device 30 function as winning combination determination means.

The electronic lottery device 30 is provided with a plurality of winning tables in which random numbers are grouped according to their sizes. The first winning table indicates that the random number sampled in the game under the normal mode has a super BB winning which gives a right to shift to the super BB mode, and a normal B
A normal BB winning giving the right to shift to the B mode,
RB winning giving the right to shift to the RB mode, small winning winning corresponding to the small winning prize pattern only paying out a predetermined number of medals, and replay giving the right to play the next game with the same bet number without inserting medals It is used for winning and for determining which pattern, such as a loss that does not generate any hit, belongs to, that is, for winning determination. It should be noted that there are a plurality of small role winning patterns for small role winning, and a payout is assigned to each of them. The winning type and the pattern are determined depending on which of the winning patterns the sampled random number value belongs to.

The second winning table is used in each bonus game mode, and is used for determining whether to win or lose in a BB game or RB game, that is, for determining a win. In the third winning table, random number values are grouped so as to increase the winning probability of the small win, so that it is easier to obtain the small win in the base game, that is, than in the first winning table. A winning signal indicating the type of the winning lottery selected by the electronic lottery device 30 is sent to the winning combination determining unit 31, and the winning signal is fed back to the control unit 18a under normal conditions.
In addition, the electronic lottery device 30 and the winning combination determination unit 31
8 included.

The BB winning storage section 33 is used in the ST mode. As shown in FIG. 3, when a BB winning signal is input from the electronic lottery device 38 to the control unit 18a, the control unit 18a
Inputs a storage execution signal to the BB winning storage unit 33 from the game following the game in which BB has won internally. When the storage execution signal is input, in the BB winning storage section 33, the count value of the game number counting section 35 is incremented by “1”,
The number of repetitions of the game in the ST mode is counted. Then, a predetermined random number value is generated by the ST mode random number generation unit 36, and the ST mode random number sampling circuit 3
7, one random value is randomly selected. The randomly selected random value is input to the replay winning high probability table 38, and the type of winning is determined.

In the replay election high probability table 38, random numbers are grouped into five types of groups: super BB election, normal BB election, small role election election, replay election, and loss. Random numbers are grouped so that the winning probability of winning is high. For this reason, in the game in the ST mode, it is easier to obtain the replay winning than in the game in the normal mode.

When the type of winning is determined in the replay winning probability table 38, a winning signal is input to the ST mode winning combination determining section 39, and the winning signal is fed back to the control section 18a. When the BB winning is selected, a super or normal BB winning flag is written in the storage memory 40. Note that the BB winning flag drawn in the game in the normal mode is also written in the storage memory 40.
As described above, the control unit 18a and the storage memory 40 function as special winning storage means.

As shown in FIG. 2, the net number increase counter 42
Is the next game in which BB has won internally (ST mode start)
From the game period until the end of the ST mode, and the number of net medals (obtained) during the game period until the end of the BB mode, which is performed when the internal prize is won during the ST mode and the BB winning flag stored in the storage memory 40 is discharged. Medals-
It is provided for counting the number of inserted sheets. This net increase counter 42 is a BB from the winning combination determination unit 31.
It works by receiving a winning signal and the inserted medal counter 2
Counting is performed based on the output value of 1 and the number of payout medals won in the game. This net increase counter 42 is
The count value is output to the control unit 18a every time the BB mode, which shifts after the ST mode, ends.

The net number increase indicator 43 is connected to the net number increase display window 1.
4 behind. This net number increase indicator 43
Displays the count value of the net increase medal counter 42, that is, the net increase medal number. The display by the net number increase indicator 43 indicates that all the BBs stored in the storage memory 40 have been discharged and the controller 18a
This is performed in response to the display signal from.

The medal hopper 44 pays out a specified number of payout medals to the medal tray 16 or adds the specified number to a credit counter when the game results in a hit. A payout table in which the number of payout medals is determined for each type of win is stored in a ROM area of the memory, and the control unit 18a reads the payout table and drives the medal hopper 44.

The initial setting input section 45 is provided inside the housing together with the power switch, and can be operated with the front door 4 opened. When the operator of the game arcade opens the front door 4 and turns on the power switch for the operation of the slot machine 2, the initial setting input section 45 is appropriately operated, for example, in the super or normal BB mode. It is possible to make initial settings such as whether or not to stop the game at the end of the game, and at the same time, whether or not to perform automatic settlement of credited medals. In addition, the payout rate can be changed in six stages by a dip switch or the like, and the payout rate of the slot machine 2 can be changed every day depending on which one is selected. The payout rate can be easily changed by adjusting the group assignment in the winning table.

Next, the operation of the slot machine 2 configured as described above will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 4 and 5 and the time chart of FIG. When 1 to 3 medals are inserted before the start of the game, the number of medals is counted by the inserted medal counter 21. Thereafter, when the start lever 13 is operated, a game start signal is input to the control unit 18a, and the count value of the game number counter 23 is incremented by "1". In addition, the control unit 1 receives a game start signal.
8a operates the reel drive controller 24, and the reel drive controller 24 simultaneously rotates the first to third reels 9a to 9c and the sub reel 10. At the same time, the electronic lottery device 30 samples a random number, and compares the value with the first winning table for the normal mode to determine the type of winning.

At this time, when the BB winning is flag-lotted by the electronic lottery device 30, a BB winning signal is fed back to the control unit 18a. Then, the control unit 18a starts the stop control of the stepping motor 25d that is driving the sub reel 10, and sets the sub reel 10 to "STOCK TIM".
Stop control is performed to display "E". As a result, the player wins the BB, and enters the ST mode from the normal mode to the next game.
You can know that the mode will be changed. at the same time,
The control unit 18a outputs a count start signal to the net increase counter 42. Thus, the net increase counter 42 counts the net increase token number from the ST mode.

In the ST mode, each time the start lever 13 is operated in each game, the control unit 18a inputs a storage execution signal to the BB winning storage unit 33. In the BB winning storage section 33, the count value of the game number counting section 35 is incremented by “1”, and the type of winning is determined by the ST mode random number generating section 36, the ST mode random number sampling circuit 37, and the replay winning high probability table 38. Is done. Since the replay winning probability table 38 has a higher replay winning probability than the first winning table,
The player can play the game while expecting the BB winning flag to be drawn by lot while suppressing the consumption of medals as compared with the base game.

Then, when the BB winning flag is drawn,
The type of the selected BB winning flag is written in the storage memory 40. By repeating this, the BB winning flag drawn in the game under the ST mode is changed to the super B
It is sorted and stored in a B winning flag or a normal BB winning flag.

In the ST mode, the BB with the internal prize is placed.
The termination condition is that a winning is won or that the number of game repetitions reaches a predetermined number of games. For this reason, in the game under the ST mode, the control unit 18a refers to the game number counting unit 35 to identify the number of repetitions of the game under the ST mode, and displays a pattern corresponding to the BB winning on the activated winning line. Identify whether or not is complete. Then, when the control unit 18a identifies that either of the conditions is satisfied, the input of the storage execution signal to the BB winning storage unit 33 ends.

When the end condition of the ST mode is satisfied, the controller 18a drives the reel drive controller 24 to
The “BIG” is displayed by rotating the sub reel 10. As a result, the player can know that the ST game has ended and BB is in an internal prize. Thereafter, when a medal is inserted and the start lever 13 is operated, the first to third reels 9a to 9c and the sub reel 1
0 starts rotating at the same time. The control unit 18a controls the storage memory 4
With reference to 0, the written BB winning flag data is read, and "BIG" is displayed again by the sub reel.

If the BB winning flag data written in the BB winning storing memory is a normal BB winning flag, when the start lever 18 is operated at the start of the game, the sub reel 15 is moved to the super BB.
Drive control is performed so as to rotate forward and reverse between “S” indicating winning and “N” indicating normal BB winning, and these are alternately displayed. If the BB winning flag data written in the storage memory 40 is a super BB winning flag, the sub reel 15 is controlled to stop so as to display “S”.

Thereafter, the operation of the stop buttons 9a to 9c is enabled, and the control unit 18a monitors the operation timing of the stop buttons 15a to 15c while referring to the count value of the above-described pulse counter provided for each reel. ,
The first to third reels 9a so that the pictures to be awarded the BB are aligned.
To 9c stop control. The player has a stop button 15
When "7-7-7" is aligned by operating a to 15c, the payout of the payout medals is performed, and the mode shifts to the BB mode. B
In the game under the B mode, the winning table is switched to the third winning table, and it is easier to obtain a small winning combination than in the base game. In the BB mode, first, after inserting one to three medals, the game is started by operating the start lever 13.

In the super BB mode, when a small role is won, the first to third reels 9a to 9c start rotating, and at the same time, the sub reel 10 displays a small role pattern corresponding to the small role winning inside. . Thereby, the player can detect the small role pattern to be aligned before operating the stop buttons 15a to 15c, and by operating the stop buttons 15a to 15c while observing the pattern while the reel is rotating, almost all In this case, the small role patterns can be aligned when each reel is stopped.

In the normal BB mode, even if the small win is in an internal prize state, the small reel pattern is not displayed by the sub reel 10, and the player stops each reel depending on intuition, and a plurality of types of small wins. Must be selected and aligned. For this reason, even if the small role wins internally, it is difficult to make it win. Thereby, Super B
In the B mode and the normal BB mode, the difference in the number of obtained medals is very large. Therefore, whether the obtained BB winning is a super BB winning or a normal BB winning is of great interest to the player.

In each of the super BB mode and the normal BB mode, the RB mode is up to three times, and the normal game under the BB mode is up to three times.
The operation can be performed 0 times, and the BB mode ends when any one of the limited times is reached. In the RB mode, a maximum of eight wins or a maximum of twelve games can be played, and the game ends when any of the number of times is reached.

When the super BB mode or the normal BB mode ends, the controller 18a sets the net increase counter 4
The count value of the number of net increase medals is called from 2 and the count value (for example, 358) is displayed on the net increase number display 43. This allows the player to feel how much the number of net increase medals is, and also makes it impossible to determine whether or not the BB winning flag is set in the storage memory 40 by this display. It is possible to give the player a sense of expectation whether or not the BB winning flag is stored.

When the BB winning flag is written in the storage memory 40, when the BB mode ends, the BB winning flag is ejected from the storage memory 40, and the internal winning is resumed from the next game.

In addition, in the net increase counter 42, the storage memory 40
All the BB winning flags stored in the
At the same time as the end of the game in the B mode, the counting process of the number of net increased medals is stopped. In addition, the net increase indicator 43 displays the net increase medal number every time the BB mode ends.

As shown by the dotted line in FIG. 6, if the winning combination drawn by the electronic lottery device 35 becomes BB during the internal prize by discharging the stored BB winning flag, the control unit 18a sets the BB to BB. Storage memory 4 of winning storage unit 33
The BB winning flag is written to 0. The BB winning flag is ejected after the processing of the BB winning flag stored during the ST mode, and the BB winning flag is determined by the BB winning flag.
The net increase medal count in the B mode is determined by the net increase counter 42.
And the count value is displayed on the net number increase indicator 43 when the BB mode ends.

On the other hand, when the BB winning flag is not written in the storage memory 40, the winning table of the electronic lottery device 35 is switched to the first winning table, and the mode is shifted to the normal mode. In addition, when the lottery result in the normal mode is a prize other than the BB winning or a losing, the normal mode processing according to each prize or the losing is performed,
One game is over.

FIG. 7 shows an example in which a recording medium 50 (optical disk, magnetic disk, etc.) is installed in the slot machine 51. The recording medium 50 includes means as shown in the flowcharts of FIGS. 53, and a program for realizing the same on a computer. In this case, for example, a prize determination unit, a reel control unit, a special prize combination storing unit, and a program for realizing the unit by a computer are recorded on a recording medium. And
The recording medium 50 is loaded in the reading device 54, and the program is installed in the slot machine.

The program can be distributed to the slot machine 51 using the Internet instead of installing the program via the recording medium 50. It is also possible to install the distributed program of the present invention or the program of the present invention read from a recording medium on a personal computer, and play a slot machine game on a monitor.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the illustrated examples, it is possible to make appropriate changes in practicing the present invention. For example, in the above embodiment, BB
Although two types of BB prizes, such as a super BB prize and a normal BB prize, are set as the prizes, the present invention is not limited to this, and an appropriate type of BB prize may be set. In addition, RB winning, B

For example, an appropriate method can be adopted as long as the difference in the number of obtained medals can be made, such as making a difference in the lottery probability of the small role winning flag in the BB mode.

In the above embodiment, the mode is always shifted to the ST mode when the BB wins internally.
May be performed again when an internal prize is awarded, and the presence or absence of entry into the ST mode may be determined. In this case, when the game does not enter the ST mode by lottery, the count processing by the net increase counter is performed from the time of winning the BB to the end of the BB mode, and the count value of the net increase medal number is displayed on the net increase display after the end of the BB mode. Let it. When a BB is won while the BB is internally winning, the BB winning flag is stationed. In this case, the count by the net increase counter and the display by the net increase display are performed for each BB mode.
