Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a gaming machine in which medals and game balls can be used as a game medium, and in particular, a plurality of rotating reels having a plurality of symbols arranged on the outer peripheral surface thereof can be used for variable play. The present invention relates to a slot machine that enables display games.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, for example, three reels (drums) having a plurality of symbols displayed on the outer peripheral surface thereof are provided, and a variable display game is played by rotating these reels, and a stop result of the variable display is preset. A slot machine is generally known in which a predetermined game value is given to a player in association with a predetermined stop display mode (a predetermined symbol combination mode) on the activated line.

In such a slot machine, a bet based on a predetermined number (usually 1 to 3) of a game medium (medal or game ball) being inserted by a player or a bet button operation (bet operation) from credits. After inputting the number, by operating the start lever, the reel is rotated to variably display the symbols, and after a certain time, the player operates the reel stop button provided for each reel automatically or corresponding to each reel. As a result, the rotation of each reel is sequentially stopped and the stop display mode is confirmed. Then, when the reels stop, the combination mode of the symbols formed on the activated line activated according to the input of the bet number becomes a predetermined combination mode (winning mode) The winning is confirmed, and the game medium is given to the player according to the winning type. Here, the player inserts a game medium to start the game, and subtracts the credit amount from the stored number of (credit) game medium stored in advance in the game machine (slot machine) according to the bet button operation. The input of the bet number based on is collectively called a bet.

In addition, in a general slot machine, a plurality of types of prizes are prepared. For example, a small role prize in which a relatively small amount (for example, 10 or less) of medals is paid out, and one medal is bet. It is possible to play JAC prizes in which a relatively large number of medals are paid out (for example, 15 coins), replay prizes in which games can be played again without betting medals, and JAC games in which it is easy to win JAC prizes with a high probability a predetermined number of times. Regular bonus (hereinafter R
B bonus) that causes a small number of wins, a small role game with a high probability of easily winning a small role win, and a JAC game with a high probability of easily winning a JAC win a predetermined number of times a big bonus (hereinafter abbreviated as BB). BB winning a prize that causes a winning) is prepared. In particular, RB prizes, BB prizes, etc. are called specific prizes, and a large amount (100 or more) of game media can be obtained all at once in comparison with small prize prizes.

The normal slot machine is provided with a function (internal lottery function) for performing a lottery in advance as to whether or not to win various prizes in connection with the execution of the game. When the internal lottery is won Only, the predetermined symbols are allowed to stop on the activated line to form the winning pattern, and the reel control is performed so that the winning prize can be obtained as much as possible. Here, winning the internal lottery may mean that the winning flag is established. On the other hand, when the internal lottery is not won (the winning flag is not established), no matter how the player performs the reel stop operation, the predetermined symbol does not stop on the activated line to form the winning mode. Reel control is performed.

Therefore, it is not possible to form a winning mode if the reel stopping operation is performed at any time, and only if the reel stopping operation is timed after winning the internal lottery. Are formed. By performing reel stop control based on the internal lottery result in this way, it becomes possible to some extent control the game result according to the internal lottery result.

However, in some of the specific prizes such as RB prizes and BB prizes and small winning awards, the number of symbols forming the prize mode is smaller than that of the other symbols, so that the symbols are specified. If the reel stop operation is not performed aiming at the symbol, there may be a case where the winning cannot be obtained even if the reel control as described above works.

Generally, an internal lottery is used to win an RB prize or a BB.
When a specific winning such as a winning is won, even if the winning mode is not formed in the game, by forming a predetermined combination mode (hereinafter, referred to as a reach mode) by reel stop control, It indicates that the player has won the prize (the flag of the specific prize has been established).

[0009]

However, if the reach mode is simply formed when the specific winning flag is established as described above, the player is in a state where the specific winning flag is established. Can't fully enhance his joy. In addition, recently, since the above-mentioned reach modes have become diverse, many players do not know the reach mode, and the reach mode does not bring any joy to such players. In addition, not knowing the reach mode may lead to unfair results. In other words, even though I have established the flag for specific winning, I move the gaming table because I do not know the reach mode, and another player who knows the reach mode takes away the specific winning prize. It may happen that it happens. Therefore, recently, when the flag of the specific winning is established by the internal lottery, a slot having a function of notifying in advance that the flag of the specific winning is established by outputting a decoration lamp and a sound in a predetermined mode. Machines are also being considered.

However, since the prior notice function of the related art notifies the result immediately when the specific winning flag is established, not only the content of the game becomes monotonous but also the timing of the notification (for example, The player's expectation can be obtained only for a very limited period of time (a short time after the end of the game). The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a slot machine that maintains a player's expectation for a game for a long time and does not give an unfair result.

[0011]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention executes a game based on a required operation by a player, and determines a specific game state such as BB or RB in relation to the result of the game. In the slot machine (100) in which the game can be executed under the control that is advantageous for the player when the specific game state occurs, a lottery means (game) for randomly selecting whether or not to generate the specific game state. Control device 50), auxiliary display means (information display device 5) for performing a required effect display related to the game, and display control for performing display control of the auxiliary display means in association with the lottery result of the lottery means. Means (display control device 35), wherein the display control means is the auxiliary display means,
A series of staging display has been made to be performed over multiple consecutive games.

According to the above slot machine, the game is less likely to be monotonous and the effect display can be performed over a plurality of games for a relatively long period of time, so that the player's expectation can be sufficiently enhanced. Further, the display control means can identify that the game state has been reached when the game state in which the specific game state can be generated by the lottery by the lottery means (the state where the flag of the specific winning is established). A specific display mode (FIG. 14D) is made to be led to the auxiliary display means as a result of the effect display. As a result, it is possible to increase the expectation of the player over a plurality of games and to surely notify the player that the specific winning flag has been established, so that it is possible to avoid giving an unfair result to a beginner. You can

Specifically, the auxiliary display means is configured to be able to display an auxiliary variable display game (FIGS. 11 to 15) based on a plurality of identification information (numerals) as the effect display, and the display control means The specific display mode can be derived as a result of the auxiliary variable display game, and a series of auxiliary variable display games until the result is derived are executed over a plurality of consecutive games. As a result, it is possible to enhance the interest of the game and to sufficiently enhance the expectation of the player by executing the auxiliary variable display game over a plurality of games.

Further, in the auxiliary variable display game started corresponding to a predetermined game, the display control means
When a reach display mode (two symbols that have been stopped and displayed earlier are in the same state) from which the specific display mode can be derived is formed, the reach display mode is carried over to the next game, and in the next game, The auxiliary variable display game is executed while the reach display mode carried over is maintained. By generating the reach mode over a plurality of consecutive games in this way, it is possible to suggest to the player that the flag of the specific winning is likely to be established, and the expectation of the player can be greatly increased. It will be possible.

Further, the display control means enables the reach display mode to be carried over to a plurality of games, and controls the auxiliary variable display game so that the probability of deriving the specific display mode increases as the carry-over frequency increases. To do. As a result, as the game in which the reach mode is generated continues, the sense of expectation for the occurrence of the specific game state increases, and the enjoyment of the game also improves. Further, the display control means is in the middle of the series of effect displays when the player performs an operation capable of generating the specific game state in the game in which the series of effect displays are continued. But I tried to force it to end.

In this way, for example, even if the player performs the reel stop operation aiming at the symbol corresponding to the specific winning, the specific winning cannot be obtained, and the result of a series of effect displays is finally derived. When it is found that the aspect is lost, it is possible to avoid the player from feeling annoyed with the endless continuous display of effects. Also, if the specific winning is confirmed, the bonus game will start after that,
In this case as well, the series of effect display is terminated halfway. In this way, useless effect display is not performed in the auxiliary variable display game.

Communication form with 0 is from game control device 50 to production control device 6
The control signal is transmitted only in one direction to 0, which prevents an illegal signal from being input to the game control device 50.

FIG. 4 is a flow chart showing the game control processing in the normal state performed by the game control device 50. In this game control process, first, in step S1, a process of determining whether or not a medal is bet is performed. In this process, when the right of the replay game is generated as a result of the previous game (when the medals bet on the previous game are carried over)
The 1 bet button 10 or the max bet button 9 is operated when at least one medal is inserted through the medal insertion slot 15 and when at least one medal is stored in the RAM 53 as a credit. When any one of the cases applies, it is determined that the medal has been bet.

For example, when a medal is inserted through the medal insertion slot 15, first, the inserted medal is detected by the medal detection sensor 15S and the detection signal is input to the game control device 50. Then, based on the detection signal, the bet number of medals is stored, and an active line corresponding to the bet number is displayed by the bet line display unit 13. However, the bet number has a predetermined upper limit (for example, 3)
Is set, for example, the credit selection button 18
When the "non-credit state" is selected by, the medals that exceed the upper limit value of the number of bets are in the medal insertion slot 15
If more medals are thrown in, the medals in excess will be returned to the saucer 23 without being added to the bet number. On the other hand, in the state where the “credit state” is selected by the credit selection button 18, when a medal exceeding the upper limit of the bet number is inserted from the medal insertion slot 15, the exceeded medal is added to the credit number. At the same time, the addition result is displayed on the credit amount display unit 12 as the credit amount.

If it is determined in step S1 that the medals have been bet, the process proceeds to step S2. If not, this process is repeated until the medals are bet. In step S2, it is determined based on a signal from the start lever switch 6S whether or not the start lever 6 has been operated. If it is determined that the start lever 6 has been operated, the process proceeds to step S3, and if not, This process is repeated until the start lever 6 is operated.

In step S3, a random number for internal lottery is extracted based on the operation of the start lever 6, and the extracted random number and a judgment value stored in the ROM 52 in advance (varies depending on the number of bets and the setting value of the gaming table). ) And the internal lottery will be conducted. Based on this internal lottery result, it is determined whether or not various prizes (for example, small winning combination, BB, RB, replay, etc.) have been won, and in the case of winning, a prize flag corresponding to the won prize is set. A random number for internal lottery may be extracted when the reels 4a, 4b, 4c start rotating, other than when the start lever 6 is operated.

In step S4, it is determined whether or not a fixed time (for example, 4.1 seconds) has elapsed from the start of rotation of each reel 4a, 4b, 4c in the previous game, and it is determined that the fixed time has elapsed. If so, the process proceeds to step S6 by skipping step S5, and if it is determined that the predetermined time has not elapsed, after the waiting time until the start of the game is exhausted in step S5 (that is, each of the previous games). After a lapse of a predetermined time from the start of rotation of the reels 4a, 4b, 4c), the process proceeds to step S6. Here, during the waiting time until the start of the game in step S5, the "WAIT" display of numeral 14 in FIG. 1 is turned on.

In step S6, the reel driving motor 4
Sending a control signal to Ma, 4Mb, and 4Mc, each reel 4
Reel rotation start processing for starting rotation of a, 4b, and 4c is performed. Specifically, the game control device 50, based on the input of the detection signal from the start lever switch 6S, a control signal for instructing the reel drive motors 4Ma, 4Mb, 4Mc to start the rotation of the reels 4a, 4b, 4c. To start the rotation of the reels 4a, 4b, 4c all at once. Then, when a predetermined time elapses after the start lever 6 is operated, each reel stop button 7a, 7b, 7c
The operation information lamp 39 corresponding to is turned on and the reel stop buttons 7a, 7b, 7c are controlled to be operable.

In step S7, the stop positions of the reels 4a, 4b and 4c are determined based on the timing at which the player has operated the reel stop buttons 7a, 7b and 7c to stop the reels and the established state of the winning flags. Based on this determination, a control signal is output to the reel driving motors 4Ma, 4Mb, 4Mc. For example, when one of the winning flags is established, the reel pull-in control is performed so that the symbol corresponding to the winning symbol is stopped and displayed on the activated line. That is, when the player operates the reel stop buttons 7a, 7b, 7c, a flag is set in the symbol that should be originally stopped and displayed on the activated line, or in the symbols for several frames (for example, four frames) following the symbol. When a symbol corresponding to the winning is included, stop control of each reel 4a, 4b, 4c is performed so that the symbol corresponding to the winning is preferentially stopped and displayed on the activated line.

However, when the reel stop buttons 7a, 7b, 7c are not stopped by the player even after a certain time (for example, 30 seconds or more) has elapsed since the start lever 6 was operated, the game is played. The control device 50 controls the reel drive motor 4 according to the reel stop position determined based on the state of each reel before the game is started and the winning flag established.
A control signal is output to Ma, 4Mb, 4Mc to automatically stop the rotation of each reel 4a, 4b, 4c.

Next, in step S8, a winning determination process is performed based on the reel stop display mode. In this winning determination process, the reel position detection sensors 31a, 31b, 31
The stop position of each reel is detected by c, and the prize is awarded based on whether or not a stop display mode corresponding to any prize (for example, small winning combination, BB, RB, replay, etc.) is formed on the activated line. The process of determining whether or not it is acquired is performed.
When it is determined in the winning process of step S8 that a winning is won, a payout process of a predetermined number of medals is performed (step S9). In this payout process, when it is determined in the prize determination process of step S8 that a prize other than the replay game has been confirmed, a control signal is sent to the medal payout unit 3 to obtain the number of medals according to the confirmed prize mode. The payout process or the process of adding the number of medals according to the winning mode to the memory of the number of credits, the process of clearing the winning flag of the small winning combination or the replay game, and the like are performed. Also,
In this payout process, when the occurrence of the replay game is determined in the winning determination process of step S8, the bet number stored in the current game is carried over to the next game, and the occurrence of the replay game is not determined. In this case, the process of clearing the memory of the bet number is performed. This step S9
By ending the payout processing of, a series of game control processing is ended and one game is ended.

FIG. 5 is an array diagram of the symbols written on the reels provided in the slot machine of this embodiment, and FIG.
[Fig. 3] is a correspondence diagram of winning types, symbol combination modes corresponding to each winning, and winning contents based on winning combinations. As shown in FIG. 5, in this embodiment, the array element numbers 0 and 6 of the left reel 4a.
"Black 7" located at, array numbers 1 and 10 on the left reel 4a
"White 7" located at, array numbers 2, 8 of the left reel 4a,
.. "Bell" located at, array number 3 on left reel 4a,
7 ... "Plum with a sword (hereinafter referred to simply as" plum ")", "Character imitating human face (hereinafter referred to as BAR)" located in the array number 4 of the left reel 4a, Seven kinds of symbols of "watermelon" located in the array numbers 5, 14 ... of the left reel 4a and "cherry" located in the array numbers 9 and 20 of the left reel 4a are arranged on the reel according to a predetermined rule. There is. And the reel 4a,
When the symbols 4b and 4c are stopped and the symbols stopped on the activated line form any of the established symbol rows shown in FIG. 6, the corresponding prize is won.

In this embodiment, in the normal game state,
Any of the "Big Bonus (BB) Prize", "Regular Bonus (RB) Prize", "Replay Prize", "Small Winner Prize (Watermelon, Bell, Cherry)" or "Loss" is won by internal lottery. The BB prize is "Black 7,
"Black 7, Black 7", "White 7, White 7, White 7", "BAR, BA
In the winning that is determined when "R, BAR" is stopped and displayed on the activated line, 15 medals are paid out and the BB state occurs. The RB prize is "Black 7, Black 7, BA
In the winning that is determined when "R" and "White 7, White 7, BAR" are stopped and displayed on the activated line, 15 medals are paid out and the RB state occurs. The replay winning is a winning determined when "plum, plum, plum" is stopped and displayed on the activated line, and the replay game is played after the reels are stopped. In this replay game, the number of medals bet this time is carried over to the next game, so that the game can be started without newly betting medals. Small winning a prize is "watermelon, watermelon, watermelon", "bell, bell, bell", "cherry, ANY, ANY"
Any one of the symbols (the "ANY" portion may be any symbol) is stopped and displayed on the activated line, and the number of medals corresponding to the type of the small winning combination is paid out in the winning decided. For example, 10 medals are paid out for "watermelon, watermelon, watermelon", 8 medals for "bell, bell, bell", and 2 medals for "cherry, ANY, ANY".

The JAC in prize is a prize determined when "Plum, Plum, Plum" is stopped and displayed on the activated line in the small win game of BB, and two medals are paid out and A JAC game is started, in which only one coin is bet and the stop control is performed so that "plum, plum, plum" is stopped and displayed on the activated line (for example, the middle line) with a high probability. In the case of a JAC in prize in the small win game of BB, 12
The JAC game continues until the JAC game is completed or eight JAC prizes are won. JAC
A prize is a JAC started by the JAC in prize.
In the game, when a bet of one medal is placed, "Plum, Plum, Plum" is determined to be stopped when "Plum, Plum, Plum" is stopped and displayed on the activated line (for example, the middle line).
One medal will be paid out. However, during the JAC game, even if "Plum, Plum, Plum" is stopped and displayed on the activated line, the replay prize is not awarded and the replay game is not played.

In the slot machine 100 of the present embodiment, the reel control is performed by the game control device 50, and the reel is moved at a position advanced by up to 4 frames from the timing when the player operates the reel stop buttons 7a, 7b, 7c. 4 can be stopped. Therefore, if there is a symbol corresponding to the winning in which the flag has been established in the symbols on the activated line and the subsequent four frames at the timing when the player operates the reel stop buttons 7a, 7b, 7c, the symbol is It is forcibly pulled in on the activated line and displayed as a stop. In other words, the symbols that are always present in the continuous five frames can always be stopped and displayed on the activated line by the stop control (pull-in control) by the game control device 50. Therefore, the prize formed with such a symbol can be always won when the flag is established. For example, in the symbol arrangement diagram of FIG. 5, "bell" and "plum" correspond to that, so the small win prize and the replay prize of "bell" can be surely acquired when the flag is established. However, this does not apply when the reel stop control does not function normally when the player makes an irregular push (for example, middle → right → left).

On the other hand, for prizes other than the small bell prize of "Bell" and the replay prize, the stop control by the game control device 50 is performed unless the stop button 7 is operated (pushing operation) aiming at a specific symbol. But you can't necessarily get it. As an example, a case where the flag of BB winning is established and “white 7” is stopped and displayed on the activated line will be described. First, the dotted line L1 is attached to the first reel (left reel) 4a.
Designs surrounded by (“white 7” corresponding to SEQ ID NO: 1, “bell” corresponding to SEQ ID NO: 2, “plum” corresponding to SEQ ID NO: 3, “BAR” corresponding to SEQ ID NO: 4, SEQ ID NO: 5
If the reel stop button 7a is operated at the timing of stopping any of the "watermelons" corresponding to the above, the "white 7" corresponding to the array element number 1 will stop on the effective line. Or, the pattern surrounded by the dotted line L2 (SEQ ID NO: 1
"White 7" corresponding to 0, "bell" corresponding to SEQ ID NO: 11, "plum" corresponding to SEQ ID NO: 12, SEQ ID NO: 1
If the reel stop button 7a is operated at the timing to stop either the "bell" corresponding to 3 or the "watermelon" corresponding to the array number 14) on the activated line, the "white 7" corresponding to the array number 10 is activated. Stop on the line. However, even if the reel stop button 7a is operated at a point other than the above, the symbol "white 7" cannot be stopped and displayed on the activated line.

Similarly, if the reel stop button 7b is operated at the timing of stopping any of the symbols surrounded by the dotted line C on the effective line on the second reel (middle reel) 4a, "white" corresponding to the array number 15 is obtained. 7 "is stopped on the activated line, and if the reel stop button 7c is operated at the timing of stopping any of the symbols surrounded by the dotted line R on the third reel (right reel) 4a on the activated line, the array number 5 is obtained. The corresponding "white 7" stops on the active line. By performing such a pressing operation, "white 7" is displayed on the activated line 3
One can be stopped and displayed, and a BB prize can be won.

FIG. 7 is a conceptual diagram showing the transition state of the game state in the slot machine of the present embodiment, and the game state is divided into three states: the normal state (A), the BB state (B), and the RB state (C). Be divided. In the normal state (A), an internal lottery is carried out for each game, and any one of “BB prize”, “RB prize”, “small win prize”, “replay prize”, and “miss” is decided by lottery. . When the BB winning flag is established as a result of the internal lottery in the normal state (A), the stop display mode is a predetermined symbol combination mode (for example, “white 7, white 7,
The game state becomes the BB state (B) by becoming "white 7"), and the big bonus game (small winning game + JAC game) is started. After the ending condition of the big bonus game is satisfied in the BB state (B), the state shifts to the normal state (A), and the normal game is restarted. Further, as a result of the internal lottery in the normal state (A), if the flag of the RB winning is established, the stop display mode becomes a predetermined symbol combination mode (for example, "white 7, white 7, BAR") The RB state (C) is entered, and the regular bonus game (JAC game) is started. JAC a predetermined number of times in the RB state (C)
After the game is finished, the state shifts to the normal state (A), and the normal game is restarted.

FIG. 8 is a conceptual diagram showing the progress of the big bonus game, and the progress of the game during the big bonus will be described accordingly. First, when a predetermined symbol combination mode (for example, "white 7, white 7, white 7") is stopped on the activated line and a BB prize is generated, a small win game in which a small win prize can be obtained with a higher probability than in the normal game. The state becomes (a). The game in this small winning game state (a) proceeds in the same manner as in the normal state, for example, inserting three medals,
When the "Watermelon, Watermelon, Watermelon" symbol row is stopped and displayed on the activated line, 10 medals are paid out, and the "Bell, Bell, Bell" symbol row is stopped and displayed on the activated line. 8 medals will be paid out, and if the symbol line of "cherry, ANY, ANY"("ANY" part may be any symbol) is stopped and displayed on the activated line, 2 medals will be displayed. Be paid out.

In the small winning game state (a),
For example, if the "Plum, Plum, Plum" symbol row is stopped and displayed on the activated line, it becomes JAC In (b),
With this JAC in, two medals are paid out, and the small win game is temporarily interrupted to enter the JAC game state in which a JAC prize can be obtained with a high probability (c). It should be noted that when a specific symbol is stopped and displayed on the activated line during the small win game, the JAC becomes in and the game does not immediately shift to the JAC game, but instead of the information display device 5 provided separately from the reel device 4. A JAC in game may be played on the display device, and the JAC game may be generated based on the game result.

In the JAC game state (c), the bet number of medals is one, and the symbol sequence of "plum, plum, plum" is stopped on the effective line (for example, the middle horizontal line) corresponding to this one bet. When displayed, a JAC prize is awarded and 15 medals are paid out. Up to 12 JAC games
It can be executed up to once, and when the twelfth JAC game ends, the small win game is restarted (d). However, J
When the JAC prize is won 8 times before the AC game reaches 12 times, the JAC game is ended by the eighth JAC prize and the small role game is restarted (d).

The small win game in BB can be executed up to 30 times (including the JAC-in game, not including the JAC game after JAC-in), and the small win game is consumed 30 times. The BB game is over when the game is played (e). However, when JAC in is performed three times before the small win game is exhausted 30 times, the BB game is ended by the end of the JAC game by the third JAC in (f).

By the way, in the RB winning, a predetermined symbol combination mode (for example, "white 7, white 7, BAR") is stopped on the activated line and the RB occurs, and at the same time, it becomes JAC in, and 15 medals are obtained by this JAC in. A JAC game is started in which a JAC prize can be obtained with a high probability while being paid out. Then, if the 12th JAC game is over, or if the JAC prize is won 8 times before the JAC game reaches 12 times, the RB is finished and the normal state is entered.

FIG. 9 shows an example of an auxiliary variable display game as an effect display related to the main game applied in this embodiment, which is displayed on the information display device 5. In the auxiliary variable display game according to the present embodiment, numerical symbols are used as identification information, and three numerical symbols are variably displayed in the respective variable display areas 5a, 5b, 5c. Then, the result of the auxiliary variable display game determined by the display control device 35 in relation to the result of the internal lottery in the game control device 50 (whether the winning flag is established / not established) is derived and stopped and displayed as a symbol combination mode. For example, when the specific winning flag is established in the internal lottery of the game control device 50, a combination mode of "7,7,7" or the like is derived in the auxiliary variable display game, and any winning flag is set. If not established, control is performed so that the combination mode of the squares is not derived.

The progress of the auxiliary variable display game corresponds to the progress of the main game in which the reels 4a, 4b, 4c are stopped, and the player operates the start lever 18 to start the main game. Along with this, the auxiliary variable display game is also started, and the player stops the reel stop buttons 7a, 7
When the reels are stopped by operating b and 7c, the corresponding numerical symbols in the variable display area are stopped and displayed. That is, when the player operates the reel stop button 7a to stop the reel 4a, the numerical symbol in the variable display area 5a is stopped and displayed, and the reel stop button 7b is operated to reel 4
When b is stopped, the numerical symbols in the variable display area 5b are stopped and displayed, and when the reel stop button 7c is operated to stop the reel 4c, the numerical symbols in the variable display area 5c are stopped and displayed.

The auxiliary variable display game of the present embodiment is a single-shot game in which "win" or "miss" is fixed for each game, and a final win without finalizing "win" or "miss" for each game. There is a continuous game in which a series of auxiliary variable display games until a definite result is derived is continued to the next game. Then, the more the continuous games are continued, the higher the possibility that the flag of the specific prize is established becomes, and the expectation of the player is increased.

FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram showing types of auxiliary variable display games. As shown in FIG. 10, the auxiliary variable display game is controlled based on the winning state of the winning flag in the main game. Specifically, when the winning flag is not established, the reach game in which the two numerical symbols stopped and displayed earlier in FIG. 9 are the same and a reach mode is formed, and the two numerical symbols stopped and displayed earlier One of the normal games (A) different in is executed as the auxiliary variable display game. In the reach game, a pattern combination mode (for example, “7.
6 ”) is displayed as a production effect, and the loss is confirmed, and the“ missed single-shot reach game (B) ”and the pattern combination mode (for example,“ 7/7/2 ”) that is lost in one display game are displayed. Even in that display game, the loss is not determined, the reach game is continuously executed after the next display game, and finally the symbol combination mode (for example, “7.
6 ”) is displayed as an effect, and the loss is determined. There is a“ loss continuous reach game (C) ”.

On the other hand, when the winning flag is established,
The auxiliary variable display game is always a reach game. Further, in the reach game, there is a "win single reach game (D)" in which a symbol combination mode (e.g., "7,7,7") that wins in one display game is displayed to confirm the win. Even if the symbol combination mode (for example, "7,7,2") that causes a loss in the display game is displayed, the loss is not fixed, and the reach game is continuously executed after the next display game, and finally the winning is achieved. There is a "winning continuous reach game (E)" in which the symbol combination mode (for example, "7/7/7") is displayed and the winning is determined.

FIGS. 11 to 15 are explanatory views showing a concrete presentation mode in the information display device 5 of the auxiliary variable display games (A) to (E) explained in FIG. Figure 11
Is an example of an effect mode of a normal game (A). First, when the start lever 6 is operated and the main game is started, the numerical symbol group N displayed on the information display device 5 is variably displayed as shown in FIG. 11A, and the auxiliary variable display game is started. Then, with the stop operation of the stop button 7a of the left reel 4a, the left numerical design N1 (“7” in the figure) is stopped and displayed (FIG. 11 (b)). Then, the middle reel 4
With the stop operation of the stop button 7b of b, the middle numerical symbol N2 (“2” in the figure) is stopped and displayed (FIG. 11).
(C)). Then, with the stop operation of the stop button 7c of the right reel 4c, the right numerical design N3 (“6” in the figure) is stopped and displayed (FIG. 11 (d)). Then, when the start lever 6 is operated and the next main game is started, the numerical symbol N is variably displayed and the auxiliary variable display game is started as shown in FIG. 11 (e). In this way, in the case of the normal game (A), it is a display game in which the loss is confirmed in the state where the two numerical symbols are stopped and displayed (FIG. 11 (c)).

FIG. 12 shows a lost single-shot reach game (B).
FIG. First, when the start lever 6 is operated and the main game is started, as shown in FIG. 12A, the numerical symbol group N displayed on the information display device 5 is variably displayed and the auxiliary variable display game is started. Then, with the stop operation of the stop button 7a of the left reel 4a, the left numerical symbol N1 (“7” in the figure) is stopped and displayed (FIG. 12).
(B)). Subsequently, the middle numeric symbol N2 (“7” in the figure) is stopped and displayed with the stop operation of the stop button 7b of the middle reel 4b (FIG. 12 (c)). At this time, the two numerical symbols stopped and displayed are in the reach state because N1 and N2 are the same numerical symbols, and the letters "chance" are displayed below the numerical symbols. Subsequently, with the stop operation of the stop button 7c of the right reel 4c, the right side numerical symbol N3 ("6" in the figure) is stopped and displayed, and the character "chance" disappears (Fig. 12 (d)). Then, when the start lever 6 is operated to start the next game, FIG.
As in (e), the numerical symbol N is variably displayed and the auxiliary variable display game is started. As described above, the lose single-shot reach game (B) is a display game in which the reach state is reached in a state where the two numeral symbols are stopped and displayed, and the loss is confirmed when the third numeral symbol N3 is stopped and displayed, It is a reach game with only one game.

FIG. 13 shows a continuous loss reach game (C).
FIG. First, when the start lever 6 is operated and the main game is started, the numerical symbol group N displayed on the information display device 5 is variably displayed as shown in FIG. 13A, and the auxiliary variable display game is started. Then, with the stop operation of the stop button 7a of the left reel 4a, the left numerical design N1 (“7” in the figure) is stopped and displayed (FIG. 13).
(B)). Subsequently, the middle numeric symbol N2 (“7” in the figure) is stopped and displayed in accordance with the stop operation of the stop button 7b of the middle reel 4b (FIG. 13 (c)). At this time, the two numerical symbols stopped and displayed are in the reach state because N1 and N2 are the same numerical symbols, and the letters "chance" are displayed below the numerical symbols. Subsequently, the right numerical symbol N3 (“2” in the figure) is stopped and displayed in accordance with the stop operation of the stop button 7c of the right reel 4c, but the character “chance” does not disappear unlike the case of the lost single-shot reach ( FIG.
(D)). Then, when the start lever 6 is operated and the next main game is started, only the right numerical symbol N3 is variably displayed while the reach state is maintained as shown in FIG. 13E, and the auxiliary variable display game is restarted. To be done. And, the production mode does not change by the stop operation of the stop buttons 7a, 7b of the left reel 4a and the middle reel 4b, and the right numerical symbol N3 ("6" in the figure) is accompanied by the stop operation of the stop button 7c of the right reel 4c. Is stopped and displayed, and the word "chance" disappears to confirm the loss (FIG. 13 (f)). Note that FIG. 13 shows a two consecutive loss continuous reach game, but in the case of three consecutive and four consecutive games, FIG.
(E) is repeated, and finally, the stop display mode of FIG. Then, when the start lever 6 is operated to start the next main game, FIG.
The numerical symbol N is variably displayed as in 3 (e), and the auxiliary variable display game is started.

In this way, the losing continuous reach game (C) is in the reach state when the two numeral symbols are stopped and displayed, and even when the third numeral symbol N3 is stopped and displayed in the symbol combination mode in which it is lost. In this display game, the loss is not fixed, the reach state is continued in the next display game, and the loss is finally fixed.

FIG. 14 shows a hit single-shot reach game (D).
FIG. First, when the start lever 6 is operated and the main game is started, the numerical symbol group N displayed on the information display device 5 is variably displayed as shown in FIG. 14A, and the auxiliary variable display game is started. Then, with the stop operation of the stop button 7a of the left reel 4a, the left numerical design N1 (“7” in the figure) is stopped and displayed (FIG. 14).
(B)). Subsequently, the middle numeric symbol N2 (“7” in the figure) is stopped and displayed in accordance with the stop operation of the stop button 7b of the middle reel 4b (FIG. 14 (c)). At this time, the two numerical symbols stopped and displayed are in the reach state because N1 and N2 are the same numerical symbols, and the letters "chance" are displayed below the numerical symbols. Subsequently, with the stop operation of the stop button 7c of the right reel 4c, the right numerical design N3 (“7” in the figure) is stopped and displayed, and the combination mode (specific display mode) of suggesting a win is completed. (Fig. 12
(D)), a message of "bonus confirmed" notifying that the bonus flag is established is displayed (Fig. 14).
(E)). Then, the message of FIG. 14E is displayed until the bonus prize is won in the main game. Furthermore, the type of bonus prize (BB or RB) may be announced after several games.

In this way, the hit single-shot reach game (D) is a reach game in which two numerical symbols are stopped and displayed, and the winning is determined when the third numerical symbol N3 is stopped and displayed. Yes, it is a reach game of only one game.

FIG. 15 shows a winning continuous reach game (E)
FIG. First, when the start lever 6 is operated and the main game is started, the numerical symbol group N displayed on the information display device 5 is variably displayed as shown in FIG. 15A, and the auxiliary variable display game is started. Then, with the stop operation of the stop button 7a of the left reel 4a, the left numerical design N1 (“7” in the figure) is stopped and displayed (FIG. 15).
(B)). Subsequently, the middle numeric symbol N2 (“7” in the figure) is stopped and displayed in accordance with the stop operation of the stop button 7b of the middle reel 4b (FIG. 15 (c)). At this time, the two numerical symbols stopped and displayed are in the reach state because N1 and N2 are the same numerical symbols, and the letters "chance" are displayed below the numerical symbols. Then, the right numerical symbol N3 ("2" in the figure) is stopped and displayed with the stop operation of the stop button 7c of the right reel 4c, but the character "chance" does not disappear (Fig. 15 (d)). Then, the start lever 6
When is operated and the next main game is started, FIG.
As in (e), while maintaining the reach state, only the right numerical symbol N3 is variably displayed and the auxiliary variable display game is restarted. Then, the production mode does not change by the stop operation of the stop buttons 7a and 7b of the left reel 4a and the middle reel 4b, and the right numerical symbol N3 (“2” in the figure) is accompanied by the stop operation of the stop button 7c of the right reel 4c. Is stopped and displayed (Fig. 15)
(F)). Furthermore, since the character "chance" has not disappeared in FIG. 15F, the reach game is continued in the next display game. Then, as shown in FIG. 15 (g), while maintaining the reach state, only the right numerical symbol N3 is variably displayed and the auxiliary variable display game is restarted. Finally, with the stop operation of the stop button 7c of the right reel, the right side numerical symbol N3 (“7” in the figure) is stopped and displayed, and the combination mode of the cross pattern indicating the winning is completed (FIG. 15 (h )), The message of "bonus confirmation" notifying that the bonus flag is established is displayed (FIG. 15 (i)). Then, the message of FIG. 15 (i) is displayed until the bonus prize is won in the main game. Furthermore, the type of bonus prize (BB or RB) may be announced after several games.

Note that FIG. 15 shows a hit continuous reach game of 3 consecutive times, but in the case of 4 consecutive 5 consecutive games, FIGS. 15 (d) and 15 (e) are repeated and finally FIG.
It becomes (h) and the winning is decided. Further, in the present embodiment, when the reach game is continued 5 times, the winning is confirmed at that time, and of course, the stop display mode of FIG.

In this way, the winning continuous reach game (E) is in the reach state when the two numeral symbols are stopped and displayed, and even if the third numeral symbol N3 is stopped and displayed in the symbol combination mode. This is a reach game in which the loss is not fixed, the reach state is continued after the next display game, and the winning is finally determined.

As described above, five patterns are prepared for the auxiliary variable display game of this embodiment, and the probability of the bonus flag being established differs depending on each pattern. You can increase the degree. For example, in the present embodiment, the reach game is continued at the ratio shown in Table 1 in the auxiliary variable display game. In other words, when the bonus flag is established, 10% is a single shot, 20% is two consecutive shots,
30% 3 consecutive times, 20% 4 consecutive times, 20%
A reach game of 5 consecutive times is set at a ratio of. In this way, the number of continued reach games when the bonus flag is established is evenly distributed. On the other hand, when the bonus flag is not established, 60% of the shots are single shots, 25% are 2 consecutive shots, 10% are 3 consecutive shots, and 5 are consecutive shots.
4 consecutive reach games are set at a rate of%.

[0072]

[Table 1]

As described above, when the bonus flag is not established, the number of times the reach game is continued as the auxiliary variable display game is remarkably reduced. Therefore, as the reach game continues to be executed, the player You can increase your expectations. If the bonus flag is not established, the maximum number of times the reach game as the auxiliary variable display game is continued is set to 4. Therefore, if the reach game is continued 5 times in succession, the bonus flag becomes 100%.
It can be suggested that it holds. From this, 4 of the player
It is possible to further increase the degree of expectation for the second auxiliary variation game.

In the example of effect display in FIGS. 11 to 15, the case where the reels are stopped by operating the stop buttons 7a, 7b, 7c in order of the left reel 4a, the middle reel 4b, and the right reel 4c has been described. However, when the stop operation is performed in the other order, the auxiliary variable display game is executed by stopping the numerical design of the variable area corresponding to the reel on which the stop operation is performed. For example, if the player has left reel 4a,
In the case of performing the reel stop operation in the order of the right reel 4c and the middle reel 4b, in the auxiliary variable display game, the left numeral symbol N
1. Stop in the order of the right numerical symbol N3 and the middle numerical symbol N2. Also, at this time, the left numeral design N1 and the right numeral design N3
A reach state is formed by.

FIG. 16 shows a display control device 35.
21 is a flowchart showing a process of determining a type of game executed as the auxiliary variable display game and an effect mode or the like according to the determined game type. First, it is determined whether or not a specific winning flag (bonus flag) is established based on the lottery result information (winning flag established / not established) of the internal lottery output from the game control device 50 (step S2).
01).

When it is determined in step S201 that the bonus flag is not established, the process proceeds to step S202, and it is determined whether or not the lost continuous reach game is being processed. In other words, the lost continuous reach game is set in the determination process of the auxiliary variable display game before the game,
It is determined whether the lost continuous reach game is still being continued in the game. When it is determined that the lost continuous reach game is being processed, the auxiliary variable display game determination process is ended as it is, and the auxiliary variable display game is executed based on the previously determined lost continuous game. On the other hand, when it is determined in step S202 that the lost continuous reach game is not being processed, the process proceeds to step S203, and the reach random number extraction for determining whether the auxiliary variable display game is the reach game or the normal game is performed.

Then, it is determined whether the auxiliary variable display game is the reach game or the normal game based on the reach random number extraction result of step S203 (step S204). As a result, when it is determined that the reach random number is selected, the process proceeds to step S205 to determine the number of times the reach game is continuously executed, and the process proceeds to step S206 to continue the sequence determined in step S205. The pattern combination of Hazure Reach is determined by the number of times. For example, when it is determined that the number of consecutive times is 2, the first symbol combination “7,7,2”, and the second symbol combination “7,7,6”, the auxiliary variable display game described in FIG. 13 is executed. It In this way, the loser reach game is set as the auxiliary variable display game.

Here, in the present embodiment, in order to execute the auxiliary variable display game determined regardless of the order in which the player performs the reel stop operation, the symbol combination does not correspond to the variable display area but is stopped. It corresponds to the order of display. For example, the symbol combination “7,7,6” is the number symbol to be stopped and displayed at the first is “7”, the number symbol to be stopped and displayed at the second is “7”, and the number symbol to be stopped and displayed at the third is “6”. Means that. In addition, in step S205, the lost single-shot reach game is performed when the number of consecutive times is one, and the lost consecutive reach game is performed when the number of consecutive times is two or more.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S204 that the reach random number lottery has not been won, step S207
And the symbol combination that causes a loss is determined. In this way, the normal game is set as the auxiliary variable display game. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S201 that the bonus flag is established, step S201
Moving to 208, it is determined whether or not the continuous reach game is being processed. When it is determined that the continuous reach game is not being processed, the process proceeds to step S210 to determine the number of times the reach game is continuously executed, and the process proceeds to step S211 to set the continuous number determined in step S210. In accordance therewith, the symbol combination mode which becomes a loss and the symbol combination which becomes a hit are determined. For example, if it is determined that the number of consecutive times is 3, the first symbol combination “7,7,2”, the second symbol combination “7,7,2”, and the third symbol combination “7,7,7”. The auxiliary variable display game described with reference to FIG. 15 is executed. In this way, the hit reach game is set as the auxiliary variable display game. Here, in step S210, when the number of consecutive times is one, it is a winning single-reach game, and when it is two or more, it is a winning continuous reach game.

On the other hand, when it is determined in step S208 that the continuous reach game is being processed, the process proceeds to step S209 and it is determined whether the continuous reach game being processed is a hit continuous reach game or a lost continuous reach game. When it is determined in step S209 that the winning continuous reach game is being processed, the determination process of the auxiliary variable display game is ended as it is, and the auxiliary variable display game is executed based on the already set continuous hit reaching game. To be done.

If it is determined in step S209 that the winning continuous reach game is not being processed, that is, that the losing continuous reach game is being processed, the process proceeds to step S210 to determine the number of times the winning reach game is continuously executed. , Further shifting to step S211, step S2
In accordance with the number of consecutive times determined in 10, a symbol combination mode that becomes a failure and a symbol combination that becomes a hit are determined. In this way, the hit reach game is set as the auxiliary variable display game.

In the present embodiment, the game executed in the auxiliary variable display game is controlled by the above-described determination processing. Note that in FIG. 16, when the process proceeds from step S209 to step S210 to perform the auxiliary variable reach game determination processing, the number of continuous reach games may be five or more, but the continuous reach game is five. Even when the number of times is exceeded, the bonus flag is 100% established. In this case, the continuous reach game may be temporarily terminated in the fifth reach game, and then the symbol combination mode that suggests the winning decision may be displayed in the next game.

Alternatively, in step S210, the number of winning reach games may be determined so that the total number of losing continuous reach games and winning reach games does not exceed 5.

Next, with reference to the flow chart of FIG. 17, a process of stopping the continuous reach game as the auxiliary variable display game will be described. In the present embodiment, the continuous reach game as the auxiliary variable display game is basically shown in FIG.
The game is continuously executed for the number of games decided by the decision processing of No.
When the stop operation of a, 4b, or 4c (so-called push operation) is performed, the continuous reach game is forcibly ended midway.

First, based on the lottery result information (winning flag is established / not established) output from the game control device 50, it is determined whether a specific winning flag (bonus flag) is established (step S301). ). Step S30
When it is determined in 1 that the bonus flag is not established, the process proceeds to step S302 and it is determined whether or not the continuous loss reach game is continued after the game. That is, it is determined whether or not the number of continuous games in the continuous reach game still remains. Then, if it is determined that the continuous loss reach game is not continued, the process for stopping the auxiliary variable display game is ended as it is, and the auxiliary variable display games after the next game are newly updated in accordance with the auxiliary variable display game determination process (FIG. 16). Is decided.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S302 that the continuous losing reach game will be continued, step S30
The process shifts to 3, and it is determined whether or not the reel stop operation has been performed within a range in which the symbol corresponding to each bonus winning can be drawn on the activated line. Specifically, the detection signals from the reel stop switches 7Sa, 7Sb, 7Sc and the detection signals from the reel position detection sensors 31a, 31b, 31c when the detection signals are generated in accordance with the reel stop operation of the player. And is transmitted from the game control device 50 to the display control device 35, and based on this, it can be determined whether or not the reel stop operation has been performed within a predetermined range. The game control device 50 may determine whether the reel stop operation has been performed within a predetermined range, and the determination result may be transmitted to the display control device 35.

If it is determined in step S303 that the reel stop operation has not been performed within the predetermined range, the process for canceling the auxiliary variable display game is ended, and the continuous loss reach game continues after the next game. To be done.

On the other hand, in step S303, when it is determined that the reel stop operation has been performed within the predetermined range, that is, when the player performs the depressing operation and the symbol combination mode corresponding to the bonus winning is not formed. , Forced stop of continuous losing reach game. In other words, when the player performs a depressing operation, the player can determine that the bonus flag has not been established based on the stop display mode of the main game, and is expected for subsequent continuous loss reach games. Not only does it not feel but also the feeling of sparseness is felt, so the above-mentioned stop processing is used to avoid such a problem. However, there is a case where the stop operation is accidentally performed at a predetermined timing even though the eye-pushing operation is not performed, and thus the discontinuation process does not always have to be performed for the lost continuous reach game. For example, when the time until the main game is finished is a predetermined time or more, it is considered that the player has performed a depressing operation, and the above-described stop processing is performed.

When it is determined in step S301 that the bonus flag is established, the process proceeds to step S305,
It is determined whether or not the reel stop operation has been performed within a range in which the symbol corresponding to each bonus winning can be drawn on the activated line.
That is, each reel stop switch 7Sa, 7Sb, 7Sc
When the game control device 50 performs stop control based on the detection signal input from, it is determined whether or not a predetermined pull-in control (control of pulling a symbol corresponding to a bonus prize onto the activated line) is performed. Specifically, the stop control signal output from the game control device 50 to each reel motor 4Ma, 4Mb, 4Mc is also output to the display control device 35, and the determination can be made based on this stop control signal. ..

Alternatively, in step 305, the game control device 50 determines whether or not the symbol combination mode corresponding to the bonus winning is formed on the activated line based on the detection signals from the respective reel position detection sensors 31a, 31b, 31c. ,
The determination result may be output to the display control device 35, and it may be determined based on the determination result whether or not the bonus prize is won. Then, in step S305,
If the predetermined pull-in control is not performed, the process of stopping the auxiliary variable display game is ended as it is, and the winning continuous reach game is continued after the next game.

On the other hand, in the step S305, if there is a predetermined pull-in control, that is, if the symbol combination mode corresponding to the bonus winning is formed, the continuation of the winning continuous reach game is stopped (step S306). That is, since the acquired bonus game is started, the continuous reach game is forcibly stopped. For example, as the auxiliary variable display game, three consecutive winning continuous reach games shown in FIG. 15 are determined, and when the second winning continuous reach game (FIG. 15 (e)) is executed, the main game corresponds to the bonus winning. When the symbol combination mode is formed, the effect display of FIGS. 15 (f) and 15 (g) is omitted, and FIG.
The effect display of 5 (h) and (i) is performed.

As described above, the process of stopping the continuous reach game as the auxiliary variable display game is performed. As a result, it is possible to prevent the continuous reach game from continuing to give discomfort to the player while knowing that the continuous reach game will be lost.

FIG. 18 is a flow chart showing the control processing of the auxiliary variable display game of this embodiment. In the present embodiment, these control processes are executed in the display control device 35 based on the output signal from the game control device 50.
First, the game control device 5 from the start lever switch 6S
It is determined whether or not the main game is started based on the detection signal output from the game control device 50 when the detection signal is input to 0 (step S100). And
The determination process of step S100 is repeated until it is determined that the main game has started. If it is determined in step S100 that the game has started, the process proceeds to step S110, and the (continuous reach game) determination process of the auxiliary variable display game shown in FIG. 16 is performed.

When the game content of the auxiliary variable display game is determined in step S110, the auxiliary variable display game is started on the information display device 5 (step S120).
Then, the effect display as described with reference to FIGS. 11 to 15 is performed. Specifically, the reel stop switches 7Sa and 7S
Based on the detection signal output from the game control device 50 when the detection signal is input to the game control device 50 from b, 7Sc, it is determined whether or not the reel stop operation is performed (step S130). When it is determined that the reel stop operation has been performed, the process proceeds to step S140, and the numerical symbol determined in step S110 is stopped and displayed in the variation area corresponding to the reel that has been stop operated. In addition, until it is determined that the reel stop operation is performed, step S1 is performed.
The process of 30 is repeated.

Next, in step S150, it is determined whether or not all the numerical symbols in the three variable areas are stopped and displayed. If not all stopped and displayed, the stop display processing of step 130 and step S140 is repeated, and all the stop displays are performed. In this case, the process proceeds to step S160.

Next, based on the output signal from the game control device 50, the auxiliary variable display game stop process shown in FIG. 17 is performed (step S160). As described above, a series of control processing of the auxiliary variable display game is performed. In the present embodiment, the above-described control process is performed by the display control device 35, but it may be performed by the effect control device 60 as the sub control device.

As described above, according to the slot machine 100 of the present embodiment, it is difficult for the game to become monotonous due to the execution of the auxiliary variable display game, and the effect display is performed over a plurality of games for a relatively long period. Therefore, the player's expectation can be sufficiently increased. Further, the player's sense of expectation can be increased over a plurality of games, and the player can be surely notified that the specific winning flag has been established, so that the player's anxiety about the game can be eliminated.

It should be understood that the embodiments disclosed this time are exemplifications in all points and not restrictive. The scope of the present invention is shown not by the above description but by the scope of the claims, and is intended to include all modifications within the meaning and scope of equivalency of the claims. For example, the auxiliary variable display game may be executed with a predetermined probability instead of being executed each time the main game is executed.

Further, in the above embodiment, the numeral pattern "7".
Although the flag combination of the specific winning is suggested by the symbol combination mode formed by the grid pattern, the type of the specific winning may be suggested by the type of the numerical symbol. For example, "3" corresponds to the RB winning, "5" corresponds to either the RB winning or the BB winning, and "7" corresponds to the BB winning. In this case, in the auxiliary variable display game, if the symbol combination mode of "3,3,3" is derived, it means that the flag of RB winning is established, and "5.
When the symbol combination mode of “5.5” is derived, it means that the flag of RB winning or BB winning is established,
When the symbol combination mode of "7/7/7" is derived, B
This means that the B winning flag has been established.

The effect display displayed on the information display means 5 is not limited to the variable display game in which the numerical symbols are variably displayed as in the above embodiment. For example, a predetermined character (an image imitating a person or an animal) is made to appear, and the character performs some kind of sport (eg, golf).
Then, the result of the sport may be derived in accordance with the result of the lottery means (whether the bonus flag is established / not established). For example, when the bonus flag is established by the lottery means, the result that the golf goal is cupped in is derived in the auxiliary game.

In this case, as a game corresponding to the continuous reach game in the above embodiment, a series of sports by a character is advanced over a plurality of main games, and finally a result corresponding to the result of the lottery means is derived. do it. In this case, if the effect display is such that one shot of golf is performed for each game of the main game, the progress of the main game and the progress of golf in the auxiliary game can be smoothly associated with each other.

In the embodiment, the example in which the invention is applied to the slot machine for playing a game using medals is shown, but the invention can also be applied to other slot machines for playing a game using pachinko balls.

[0103]

According to the present invention, a game is executed based on a required operation by a player, a specific game state such as BB or RB is generated in association with the result of the game, and the specific game state is generated. In a slot machine (100) in which a game can be executed under a control that is advantageous to a player, a lottery means (game control device 50) for performing a lottery to determine whether or not to generate the specific game state, and a game related to the game. It is provided with an auxiliary display means (information display device 5) for performing a desired effect display, and a display control means (display control device 35) for performing display control of the auxiliary display means in association with the lottery result of the lottery means. Since the display control means causes the auxiliary display means to perform a series of effect display over a plurality of consecutive games, it is difficult for the game to be monotonous, and effect display is performed. Can be performed relatively long period over a plurality of games is an effect that it is possible to increase sufficiently the player's expectation.

Further, the display control means determines that the specific game state can be generated when the specific game state can be generated by the lottery by the lottery means (the state where the specific winning flag is established). Since a specific display mode (FIG. 14 (d)) that can identify that the game has been reached is derived to the auxiliary display means as a result of the effect display, the player's expectation can be increased over a plurality of games. It is possible to reliably notify the player that the specific winning flag has been established, and avoid giving an unfair result to the player.
