If the automatic stop control means (170) is not activated, the winning combination is not possible, but the single winning combination is possible, and the automatic stop control means (170) is activated. It is characterized in that the winning of the above-mentioned combined winning combination can be established, but the winning of only a single winning combination cannot be established.

Here, the "single winning combination" has a single winning mode, and the winning random number extracting means.
When the random number extracted by (112) is included in the winning lottery area for such a single winning combination, a single winning combination having one winning mode is won. In addition, here, the winning modes that form the "single winning combination" may be limited to those that form the winning combination that forms the multiple winning combinations, but the winning combinations that form other winning combinations that do not form the multiple winning combinations You can set it.

Here, the phrase "combined winning combination" is "consisting of a plurality of different winning modes", specifically, for example, the left rotation reel (43), the center rotation reel (44), and the right rotation reel.
(45) The winning symbols on the winning line on the winning line are, in order, two different winning patterns: plum, plum, plum, and cherry, arbitrary symbol, arbitrary symbol. It means something like this. That is, the combination winning combination is a collection of different winning combinations. And the profit obtained by winning the winning combination is
It is set so as to be the total of the profits obtained by winning each of the plurality of winning combinations that make up this composite winning combination.

Here, the phrase "the winning lottery means (110) has a common winning lottery area" specifically means, for example, the random number generating areas 0-655 of the winning random number generating means (111).
It is like having a common lottery area in the range of 2000 to 3999 out of 35. In such a case, when the random number extracted by the winning random number extraction means (112) is included in the common winning lottery area, the winning combination is won.

Further, here, "automatic stop control means (170)
Is not activated "means that a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) has elapsed since the start of rotation of the rotary reel (40) by the start switch (30).
This means a case in which the player does not automatically stop the stop switch (50) by operating the stop switch (50). Further, "when the automatic stop control means (170) operates" means that the start reel (30) is used to rotate the reel.

Therefore, the player needs to wait for a certain period of time until the automatic stop control means (170) is activated, but instead, the combined winning combination can be established.

That is, the player does not automatically stop the game, but by performing the stop operation by himself at his own risk, it is impossible to win the multiple winning combination, but the single winning is possible.
It is possible to increase the number of games per unit time by advancing the game at its own rhythm without waiting for a certain period of time until the automatic stop control means (170) is activated.

On the other hand, the player does not perform the stop operation by himself, waits for a certain period of time until the automatic stop control means (170) is activated, and then automatically stops the game, so that the winning of a single role is not possible. It becomes possible, but you can get the possibility of winning a winning combination. Thereby, it is possible to give a new game property in the bargaining strategy whether or not to select the automatic stop.

(Claim 9) The invention according to claim 9 is characterized by the following points in addition to the features of the invention according to any one of claims 1 to 7. That is, as a winning combination, there is at least a single winning combination having one winning mode and a plurality of winning combinations having different common winning patterns in the winning lottery means (110). When the automatic stop control means (170) operates, the winning combination is not possible, but the single winning combination is possible, and the automatic stop control means (170) is not operating. It is characterized in that the winning of the above-mentioned combined winning combination can be established, but the winning of only a single winning combination cannot be established.

Here, “single winning combination”, “combined winning combination”, “consisting of a plurality of different winning modes”, “winning lottery means (110) has a common winning lottery area”, and “automatic stop control means (1
70) is not activated ”“ When the automatic stop control means (170) is activated ”“ Composite winning combination cannot be established ”“ Composite winning combination cannot be established, but single winning combination is not "It is possible to be established", "The winning combination is possible,""The winning combination is possible, but the winning of only a single role is impossible". Since they are the same, their description will be omitted.

The present invention has been described by way of an example thereof in the fifth embodiment. (Operation) In the present invention, when the automatic stop control means (170) operates, the winning combination is not possible, but the winning combination is single, and the automatic stop control means (170) is not activated.

For this reason, the player himself believes in his skill of pushing the finger and performs a stop operation within a predetermined time from the start of rotation of the rotating reel (40) so that the automatic stop control means (170) does not operate. In this case, it is impossible to obtain the profit of a single winning combination, but if the hit is successful, the profit of a multiple winning combination can be obtained. But,
If you fail to push the key, you will not be able to get the benefits of winning single or multiple roles.

On the other hand, since the player is unskilled in pushing his / her own push, the automatic stop control means (170) operates without performing the rotation stop operation within a predetermined time from the start of rotation of the rotating reel (40). In such a case, the winning combination cannot be won, and the profit of the winning combination cannot be obtained. However, it is possible to win a single winning combination, and it is possible to obtain the profit of winning a single winning combination.

Therefore, the player does not automatically stop and performs the stop operation at his own risk, and has an adventure to obtain the profit of the combined winning combination, or makes the automatic stop to win the combined winning combination. There is no possibility, but it is possible to choose whether to automatically stop a single role. Thereby, it is possible to give a new game property in the bargaining strategy whether or not to select the automatic stop.

From the variation display start of the symbol variation stop means, the symbol display means for
Without stopping operation by the player, on condition that a certain period of time has passed, the winning symbol (61) corresponding to the lottery result of the winning lottery means (110) is automatically stopped at a predetermined stop position and the winning mode. It is a game machine program for functioning as an automatic stop control means (170) for performing.

Here, the "gaming machine (10)" is, for example, a rotating reel (40), a start switch (30), a stop switch.
It may be a real game machine (10) provided with (50) and a control device (20), or may be a pseudo game machine (10) displayed on an image display device such as a liquid crystal display or a CRT. Here, the "symbol display means" means a means for variably displaying or stopping displaying a plurality of symbols. Further, the symbol display means can be formed, for example, by using an actual rotary reel (40) displaying a plurality of symbols around it and controlling the rotation of the rotary reel (40). Further, the symbol display means may be formed by using an image display device such as a liquid crystal display or a CRT and sequentially displaying a plurality of symbols on the image display device.

Here, when trying to control the actual gaming machine (10) using this gaming machine program, the "gaming control means" is stopped corresponding to the lottery result of the winning lottery means (110). It is for controlling. In such a case, the game control means is, for example, a hopper unit (65).
Can be driven so that the player can actually pay out the game medals. Specifically, this game control means is a normal game control means (70) shown in FIG.
, Special game control means (80), automatic stop control means (170)
Is included.

Here, the "symbol fluctuation stop means" is for changing the variable display of the symbol display means to the variable display when the player performs a stop operation.
Specifically, it means a stop switch (50). Further, when controlling a commercial or home video game machine or the like using the game machine program, the actual game medals cannot be paid out. Therefore, this control means is, for example, a liquid crystal display or An image display device such as a CRT can be formed so as to display an image that increases the number of game medals.

That is, the game machine program according to the present invention is a program for controlling an actual game machine (10) and a commercial or household video game machine or the like that is loaded into the game machine for business or household use. And a program for causing the above-mentioned video game machine and the like to function as the game machine (10). Further, here, the "automatic stop control means (170)" is, as shown in FIG. 1, a timer means (171).
And an automatic stop table storage means (172), an automatic stop table selection means (173), and a rotation reel stop control means (174).

(Operation) In the present invention, the automatic stop control means (17
0), from the start of rotation of the symbol display means (for example, the rotating reel (40)), without a stop operation by the player,
The winning pattern corresponding to the lottery result of the winning lottery means (110) is automatically stopped at a predetermined stop position on the condition that a certain period of time has passed, and a winning mode is set. Therefore, even a player who is inferior to the so-called pushing technique can win the winning symbol corresponding to the lottery result of the winning lottery means (110) by waiting for a certain period of time, and stopping the winning symbol predeterminedly. It is possible to automatically stop at the position and set a winning mode, and it is possible to win. As a result, even a beginner or the like who is inferior to the technique of pushing can win the prize without pushing and can enjoy the game.

Furthermore, a plurality of winning combinations are set,
The winning combination that is automatically stopped may be formed as a part of a plurality of winning combinations. When formed in this way, there are winning combinations that are automatically stopped and winning combinations that are not automatically stopped. Therefore, even if the player waits for the winning of the winning combination, it is possible to provide a new game property of waiting for the winning combination that is automatically stopped among the winning combinations.

Further, the gaming machine (10) is provided with an automatic stop lottery means (160) for performing a lottery on whether or not to make a prize by automatically stopping using the automatic stop control means (170),
The automatic stop control means (170) is the automatic stop lottery means.
The rotating reel (40) may be automatically stopped based on the lottery result of (160). If formed in this way, the lottery result of the winning lottery means (110), winning,
If the stop operation by the player is not performed, the winning symbol is not always automatically stopped after a certain period of time, and it is possible to give the game unexpectedness and change the game content. This can make the game interesting. And, if the player wins the lottery result of the winning lottery means (110), he or she believes in the skill of pushing his own, and may perform the stop operation by himself or automatically stop the off symbol. It is possible to select either one of the following, which has also a certain probability but automatically stops the winning symbol with a predetermined probability. As a result, it is possible to give a chance to select the game content and proceed with the game according to one's skill.

Further, the automatic stop control means 170 may be formed so as to operate under a specific condition. If formed in this way, the automatic stop control means is always unconditionally
Compared to the case where (170) operates, a player who desires automatic stop can try to satisfy the specific condition and have a new playability.

Furthermore, as a game, at least a normal game and a special game started by satisfying a specific condition are provided, and the automatic stop control means (170) is formed so as to operate during the special game. be able to. If formed in this way, a player who is inferior to the so-called push-button technique and desires automatic stop desires the transition to the special game and tries to satisfy the special game transition condition. Thereby, it is possible to give a new game property. And
By shifting to the special game, it is possible to intensively rescue those who are inferior to the technique of pushing. In addition, a skilled player who is excellent in the technique of pushing the finger can use the technique of pushing his / her own by playing the game so as not to satisfy the specific conditions for shifting to the special game, and not shifting to the special game. You can proceed with the game.

Further, the automatic stop control means (170) can be formed so as to be effective for a part of the plurality of the rotating reels (40). If formed in this way, the automatic stop is only a part of the plurality of rotating reels (40), and the remaining rotating reels (40) can perform the stop operation by the player's intention. As a result, the player's awareness of participation in the game is increased, the game is prevented from becoming monotonous, and a part of the rotating reel (40) is stopped by itself.
You can add a sense of self-fulfillment that you stopped it.

Further, the automatic stop control means (170) is a timer means (171) for counting the time from when the player performs a rotation start operation for starting the rotation of the rotary reel (40). And an automatic stop table storage means (172) storing a stop table preset with a stop position for automatically stopping the rotating reel (40), and a stop stored by the automatic stop table storage means (172) From the table, an automatic stop table selection means (173) for selecting a stop table for stopping the winning symbol corresponding to the lottery result of the winning lottery means (110) at the stop position which is the winning mode, If the player does not perform the stop operation by the predetermined time counted by the timer means (171), the automatic stop table selection means (173) causes the rotary reel ( It can be formed so as to be provided with a rotation reel stop control means (174) for stopping 40).

When formed in this way, the timer means (17
1) counts the time from when the player performs the rotation start operation for starting the rotation of the rotating reel (40). On the other hand, the automatic stop table selection means (173), from the stop table stored in the automatic stop table storage means (172), the winning position corresponding to the lottery result of the winning lottery means (110) You have selected a stop table to stop at. Then, the rotation reel stop control means (174), the stop table selected by the automatic stop table selection means (173) when the player does not perform the stop operation by the predetermined time counted by the timer means (171). The rotating reel (40) is stopped based on the above.
Thereby, when the rotation stop operation by the player is not performed for a predetermined time from the rotation start of the rotating reel (40), the winning symbol corresponding to the lottery result of the winning lottery means (110) is automatically stopped at the position of the winning mode. Can be made. Therefore, even a player who is inferior to the so-called pushing technique can win the winning symbol corresponding to the lottery result of the winning lottery means (110) by waiting for a certain period of time, and stopping the winning symbol predeterminedly. It is possible to automatically stop at the position and set a winning mode, and it is possible to win. As a result, even a beginner or the like who is inferior to the technique of pushing can win the prize without pushing and can enjoy the game.

Further, as a winning combination, there is at least a single winning combination having one winning mode and a multiple winning combination having a plurality of different winning modes but having a common winning lottery area in the winning lottery means (110). ing. If the automatic stop control means (170) is not activated, the winning combination is not possible, but the single winning combination is possible, and the automatic stop control means (170) is activated. The winning combination can be established, but the winning combination of only a single combination cannot be established.

If formed in this way, the player cannot perform a combination winning combination by performing the stop operation at his own risk without performing automatic stopping, but it is possible to win a single winning combination. Thus, the number of games per unit time can be increased by advancing the game at its own rhythm without waiting for a certain period of time until the automatic stop control means (170) is activated. On the other hand, the player does not perform the stop operation by himself, waits for a certain period of time until the automatic stop control means (170) is activated, and then automatically stops the game.
It is impossible to win a single role, but you can get the possibility of winning a multiple role. Thereby, it is possible to give a new game property in the bargaining strategy whether or not to select the automatic stop.

Further, as a winning combination, there is at least a single winning combination having one winning mode and a plurality of winning combinations having different common winning patterns in the winning lottery means (110). ing. When the automatic stop control means (170) operates, the winning combination is not possible, but the single winning combination is possible, and the automatic stop control means (170) is not operating. The winning combination can be established, but the winning combination of only a single combination cannot be established.

When formed in this way, the player himself believes in his skill of pushing, and carries out a stop operation within a predetermined time from the start of rotation of the rotating reel (40), and the automatic stop control means (170). If you do not activate, it is impossible to get the profit of a single winning combination, but if you push the key successfully, you can get the profit of a multiple winning combination. But,
If you fail to push the key, you will not be able to get the benefits of winning single or multiple roles. On the other hand, since the player's skill of pushing himself is immature, the automatic stop control means (170) is activated without performing the rotation stop operation within a predetermined time from the start of rotation of the rotating reel (40). In that case, the winning combination cannot be won, and the profit of the winning combination cannot be obtained. However, it is possible to win a single winning combination, and it is possible to obtain the profit of winning a single winning combination. Therefore, the player does not stop automatically but performs the stop operation at his own risk and takes an adventure to obtain the profit of the multiple winning combination, or the automatic stop, and the possibility of winning the multiple winning combination is not possible. But not
It is possible to choose whether to automatically stop the single role. Thereby, it is possible to give a new game property in the bargaining strategy whether or not to select the automatic stop.

Further, it is possible to form a fixed time as a condition for starting the automatic stop of the automatic stop control means (170) so as to be changed depending on a game state. If formed in this way, the game state shifts to a different game state, so that the fixed time that is the start condition of the automatic stop changes.
Therefore, as the gaming state changes, the fixed time that is the start condition for automatic stop can also be changed. As a result, the game contents can be greatly changed, and the game contents can be changed.

(Start Switch 30) The start switch 30 is a lever positioned diagonally below the rotating reel 40 as shown in FIG. 2, and is provided on condition that the game medal is inserted or the bet switch 16 is inserted, Game (Replay, Re
play) ”is for starting the drive of the reel unit 60 on condition that a predetermined time has elapsed from the previous game.

Here, "Replay (Replay, Repl
"ay)" means that the "replay (Replay, Replay)" flag is established by the lottery of the winning lottery means 110, and the "replay (Replay, Replay)" symbols are aligned on the winning line. In the next game, the game can be played again without newly inserting a game medal.

(Stop Switch 50) The stop switch 50 is for stopping the drive of the reel unit 60. Specifically, the stop switch 50 is shown in FIG.
As shown in, each switch is composed of three switches corresponding to each rotary reel 40, and one switch is arranged below each rotary reel 40. By operating the stop switch 50 corresponding to the rotating reel 40, the corresponding rotating reel 40
Is set to stop rotating.

In the present embodiment, the winning lottery means 11
If the result of the lottery is 0, when the player does not perform the stop operation using the stop switch 50 even after 30 seconds have passed after the rotation of the rotating reel 40, the automatic stop lottery is performed. As a result of the lottery of the means 160, when it is decided to win the prize by the automatic stop, the automatic stop control means 170 is set to automatically stop the rotating reel 40.

(Reel unit 60) The reel unit
Although not shown in particular, 60 is composed of three motors fixed or supported by a frame and three rotary reels 40 fixed to the output shafts of the respective motors. Each rotary reel 40 includes a rotary drum made of synthetic resin, and a tape-shaped reel tape 42 attached around the rotary drum. On the outer peripheral surface of the reel tape 42, a plurality of (for example, 21) symbols 61 are displayed. A so-called start index is formed on a part of the rotary reel 40. Then, after starting the rotation by the motor, the current position is specified by recognizing the rotation angle after detecting the start index, and thereafter,
Stop control is performed by stopping at a predetermined angle.

(Hopper Unit 65) The hopper unit 65, although not shown, is for paying out medals to the player based on the result of the game. (Notification Device 66) The notification device 66 is used to notify the player of winning or winning by sound, light or video.

(Normal Game Control Means 70) The normal game control means 70 is for performing a normal game. That is, the start switch is provided on condition that a medal is inserted or the bet switch 16 is inserted, or if a predetermined time has elapsed from the previous game at the time of "replay (Replay)".
When 30 is operated, the reel unit 60 is driven and the three rotary reels 40 start rotating. After that, when one of the stop switches 50 is operated, the corresponding rotary reel 40
Stops rotating. Then, when all three stop switches 50 have been operated, the rotation of all three rotary reels 40 is stopped. At this time, on the winning line of the display window 12,
When the preset pattern 61 stops, the hopper unit
A predetermined number of medals are paid out via 65. Instead of paying out medals, credits may be given.

In the case of winning, there is a small-winning prize (a small-winning prize is awarded when this small-winning prize is won) accompanied by payout of a game medal when a winning is won, and when a winning is won. A special win that gives players even greater profits than this small win (if this special win wins, it will be a special win), and if you win, no game medal will be paid out, but a new game medal You can play again without throwing in "replay (Replay, Repla
y) Winning ”(if this re-game win is a prize, it will be a re-game win). Then, when the lottery result is any winning (also referred to as internal winning), the winning flag corresponding to the winning is established. Then, when the lottery result is a special winning, the winning flag of the special winning is established, and during the establishment of the winning flag of the special winning, the combination of the stop symbols 61 of the rotating reel 40 of the reel unit 60 is predetermined. The winning symbol 61 (for example, three "7" s are lined up on the winning line) is won, and the player is allowed to play a special special game. Then, the special winning flag is established by the lottery, but if the combination of the stop symbol 61 of the rotating reel 40 does not match the winning symbol 61, the right to establish the winning flag is carried over to the subsequent games. There is. If the winning flag of the small winning combination cannot be won in the game in which the winning flag is established, the right to establish the winning flag is not carried over to the next game.

In this embodiment, a plurality of stop tables are selected and used for stop control. Therefore, whether or not the corresponding winning symbols 61 can be aligned on the winning line while one of the winning flags is established corresponds to the 21 symbols previously described on the selected stop table. It is determined by the number of frames of rotational movement until the rotation is stopped at each stop operation position (No1 to No21). For example, although not particularly shown, when the winning flags of the blue seven, blue seven, and blue seven BB games are established, the symbol plum of No6 is located at the reference position when the predetermined rotating reel 40 is stopped. However, it is assumed that 3 is preset as the number of frames of rotational movement until the rotation of No. 6 of the selected stop table is stopped. In such a case, the reference position is rotated by 3 frames from the No. 6 design plum and moved N
The winning symbol of the symbol seven of o9 will be stopped. Thus, the number of frames of rotational movement until the rotation is stopped at each stop operation position is preset in the stop table. And, like the stop table in the case of winning seven in the BB game, there are a plurality of stop tables prepared in advance, such as each stop table when each winning combination is winning, and the stop table in the case of losing. It has been prepared. Then, a predetermined stop table is selected according to the lottery result of the winning lottery means 110.

Whether or not the corresponding winning symbols 61 can be aligned on the winning effective line while one of the winning flags is established is determined in advance by the stop operation position at the stop operation timing of the stop switch 50. This is due to the number of frames of rotational movement until the rotation is stopped. In particular,
Since the rotating reel 40 is set to stop within 190 ms after the stop switch 50 is operated, the maximum number of frames of rotational movement until the rotation of the stop table used for normal stop other than automatic stop is stopped. It is set to four. For this reason, when the stop switch 50 is operated, when the winning symbol is a stop symbol and the number of frames of rotational movement until the rotation is stopped is 0 to 4 symbols, the rotating reel 40 is rotated by the number of the symbols. The reel 40 draws the winning symbol 61 on the winning line and stops. On the other hand, at the time of the stop operation, if the winning symbol is not the stopping symbol, and it is at the symbol position of 0 to 4 pieces of rotational movement until the rotation is stopped, the winning symbol 61 is pulled on the winning effective line and stopped. I can't.

The stop table used for automatic stop is different from the stop table for normal stop in that the number of frames for rotational movement until the rotation is stopped is not limited to 0-4. Then, in the present embodiment, when 30 seconds have elapsed after the player operated the start switch 30 to start the rotation of the rotary reel 40, the stop operation of the stop switch 50 by the player is not performed. Rotating reel
With respect to 40, the automatic stop control means 170 is set to automatically stop only when a predetermined condition is satisfied.

More specifically, the automatic stop control means 17
0 means that the player operates the stop switch 50 30 seconds after the rotation of the rotating reel 40 starts,
When none of 40 is performed and the predetermined condition is satisfied (specifically, the automatic stop lottery means 160
When it is decided to win by automatic stop in the lottery), first, the left rotation reel 43 is automatically stopped, then, about 1 second later, the center rotation reel 44 is automatically stopped, and about 1 second later, The right rotation reel 45 is set to automatically stop.

The automatic stop control means 170 stops the operation of one or two stop switches 50 within 30 seconds from the start of rotation of the rotary reel 40, and the remaining two or one rotary reel 40. In the same manner, the remaining rotary reels 40 are automatically stopped in the order of the rotary reels 40 even when 30 seconds have elapsed from the start of rotation of the rotary reels 40 without the player performing the stop operation. Is.

If the automatic stop is determined as a result of the lottery of the winning lottery means 110, and it is determined that the automatic stop lottery of the automatic stop lottery means 160 is to win the prize, the winning combination is won. A corresponding stop table for automatic stop is used. As a result, the winning symbol can be stopped on a predetermined winning effective line.

On the other hand, even if it is automatically stopped, the winning lottery means
If you have not won in 110 lottery, or automatic stop lottery means 1
If you have not decided to win the prize as a result of the 60 automatic stop lottery, use the off stop table. As a result, the so-called out-of-stop pattern, in which none of the winnings can occur, automatically stops. (Special Game Control Means 80) The special game control means 80 is for causing the player to play an advantageous special game based on the lottery result of the lottery means.

The above special games are roughly classified into the following games. (1) Specific introduction game (BB game) (2) Specific game (RB game) (3) Specific winning game (JAC game) It should be noted that a specific game, for example, an RB game, is a specific introduction game,
For example, it is set to be performed within a predetermined number of times during the BB game, but it is not particularly limited to this, and may be set to be performed independently even when the BB game is not being performed. Is. The specific winning game, so-called JAC game, is played during the RB game. Also, as a special game, the above (1)
The game is not limited to the games (3) to (3).

Specifically, in the normal game, although not shown, for example, if three symbols 61 such as "7" are lined up on the winning effective line, for example, 15 medals are paid out through the hopper unit 65. . At this time, the BB game is started. Then, the special game control means 80, as shown in FIG. 1, roughly includes the following means.

(1) Specific introduction game control means 91 (BB game control means 90) (2) Specific game control means 101 (RB game control means 100) (Specific introduction game control means 91) The specific introduction game control means
91 is a BB game control means for controlling the BB game
90.

Specifically, when shifting to the BB game, a small role game similar to the normal game is started by inserting a maximum of three medals, and when the rotations of the three rotation reels 40 are stopped, Medals are paid out depending on whether or not winning symbols are aligned on the winning line. Therefore, in the small role game during the BB game, the lottery including the small role is performed every time as in the normal game. However, when the winning symbols for shifting to the RB game are aligned on the winning effective line during the BB game, the RB game is subsequently shifted.

Note that normally, during the BB game, the transition to the RB game is to be performed, for example, up to three times. Therefore, after the first RB game is finished, the normal game as described above is performed again. The same small lot game lottery and control are performed. In the BB game, the BB game ends when the RB game in the BB game has a predetermined maximum number of times, for example, three times, or the small role game in the BB game has a predetermined maximum number of times, for example, a maximum of 30 times. It is a thing. Of course, the maximum number of RB games and small role games in the BB game is not limited to the above-mentioned number, but other numbers (for example,
The maximum number of times of the RB game may be set to 2).

Then, also in the specific introduction game control means 91, as in the case of the normal game control means 70,
The automatic stop control means 170 is set to be automatically stopped. (Specific game control means 101) The specific game control means 101,
It is for controlling the RB game.

Specifically, when the game shifts to the RB game, one medal is inserted, and when the predetermined symbol 61 of the rotating reel 40 is aligned on the center line of the display window 12, a specific winning game is won. It is something that will be done. Then, in the RB game, a specific winning game as to whether or not to win is possible up to 12 times, of which a maximum of 8 times can be won. In other words, you can win up to 8 times, or up to 1
The RB game ends when the specific winning game is completed twice.

Also in the specific game control means 101, the automatic stop control means 170 is set to be automatically stopped, as in the case of the normal game control means 70. (Winning lottery means 110) The above-mentioned winning lottery means 110 performs a lottery for determining whether or not the player wins based on a predetermined winning probability. Then, when the result of the lottery by the winning lottery means 110 is a win (also referred to as an internal winning), the winning flag is established, and while the winning flag is established, the combination of the stop symbols of the rotating reel 40 is a predetermined winning symbol. It is set that a player wins a prize on the condition that the coins match with, and the player is provided with a profit such as a payout of medals or a special game.

The winning lottery means 110, as shown in FIG. 1, roughly includes the following means. (1) Winning random number generating means 111 (2) Winning random number extracting means 112 (3) Winning determination table 113 (4) Winning determination means 114 The winning lottery means 110 is limited to the above (1) to (4) It is not something that will be done.

(Winning Random Number Generating Means 111) The winning random number generating means 111 is for generating random numbers for lottery within a predetermined area (for example, 0 to 65535 in decimal). Here, the “winning random number generating means” is an average sampling method as a soft random number (a random number generating method by repeating n-digit number squared and extracting the central n-digit number). Some are capable of generating random numbers, and some are configured using a counter that increments numbers within a certain range one by one at high speed. For example, the number in the range of 0 to 65535 is 1
A counter that can be repeated several million times per second is conceivable. And as "winning random number extraction means",
The number on the counter will be read at the timing of pressing the start switch. When formed in this manner, the "winning random number generating means" does not generate a random number, but the numbers extracted by the "winning random number extracting means" have a distribution like a random number. The means for obtaining the numbers showing the distribution like the random numbers as described above is considered here as being included in the “winning random number generating means” or the “winning random number extracting means”.

(Winning Random Number Extracting Means 112) The winning random number extracting means 112 uses the random numbers generated by the winning random number generating means 111 as
The extraction is performed under a predetermined condition (for example, operation of the start switch 30). The extracted random number is used as extracted random number data. (Winning determination table 113) The above winning determination table 113 is
The winning random number generation means 111 has a winning area for each winning item in the entire random number area.

(Winning determination means 114) The above winning determination means 114
Is a winning judgment area consisting of the extracted random number data extracted by the winning random number extraction means 112 and the winning area of each winning item in all areas of the random numbers taken by the winning random number generating means 111 based on the winning probability data of the winning judgment table 113. By collating with the data, the winning corresponding to the winning area to which the extracted random number data belongs is determined.

(Automatic Stop Lottery Means 160) The automatic stop lottery means 160 performs a lottery for deciding whether or not to make a prize by automatic stop based on a predetermined lottery probability. Then, when the result of the lottery by the automatic stop lottery means 160 is determined to be automatically stopped, the automatic stop control means 170 is set to automatically stop the winning symbol on the winning effective line to win the prize. There is.

Here, in the present embodiment, when it is determined that the winning condition is satisfied, the condition for the lapse of a predetermined time is satisfied, and the lottery result of the automatic stop lottery means 160 determines that the winning is to be automatically stopped. Only, the winning symbol corresponding to the winning combination is set to be automatically stopped, but is not particularly limited to this, and the automatic stop lottery means described above
It is not necessary to provide 160. That is, the lottery result of the winning lottery means 110 is won, and when the player's stop operation has passed a predetermined time from the start of rotation of the rotation reel 40, the winning symbol is always stopped on the winning effective line to win the prize. It may be set as follows. As a result, it is possible to reliably rescue the player who is inferior in the skill of pushing.

As shown in FIG. 1, the automatic stop lottery means 160 roughly includes the following means. (1) Automatic stop random number generation means 161 (2) Automatic stop random number extraction means 162 (3) Automatic stop determination table 163 (4) Automatic stop determination means 164 The automatic stop lottery means 160 has the above-mentioned (1).
It is not limited to (4).

(Automatic Stop Random Number Generating Means 161) The automatic stop random number generating means 161 generates random numbers for lottery within a predetermined area (for example, 0 to 65535 in decimal). Here, "automatic stop random number generation means 161"
Automatic stop random number generation means 161 and automatic stop random number extraction means 1
The numbers 62 include those having a distribution as if they were random numbers as described in the winning lottery means 110.

(Automatic stop random number extracting means 162) The automatic stop random number extracting means 162 determines the random number generated by the automatic stop random number generating means 161 under a predetermined condition (for example, the start switch 30).
Operation). The extracted random number is used as extracted random number data. (Automatic Stop Judgment Table 163) The automatic stop judgment table 163 has a lottery area for each item of whether or not to make a prize for automatic stop among all areas of the random numbers taken by the automatic stop random number generating means 161.

(Automatic stop determination means 164) The automatic stop determination means 164 uses the extracted random number data extracted by the automatic stop random number extraction means 162 and the lottery probability data of the automatic stop determination table 163 to generate the automatic stop random number means 161. The collation is performed with the judgment area data composed of the lottery area of each item in the whole area of the random number, and the lottery result corresponding to the area to which the extracted random number data belongs is determined. As a result, it is decided whether or not to automatically win the prize.

(Automatic Stop Control Means 170) The automatic stop control means 170 operates in the winning lottery means 110 on condition that a predetermined time elapses without the player performing a stop operation from the start of the rotation of the rotating reel 40. This is for automatically stopping the winning symbol corresponding to the lottery result at a predetermined stop position to form a winning mode.

Further, the automatic stop control means 170, based on the lottery result of the automatic stop lottery means 160, rotates the reel 4
0 is automatically stopped. The automatic stop control means 170, as shown in FIG. 1, roughly includes the following means. (1) Timer means 171 (2) Automatic stop table storage means 172 (3) Automatic stop table selection means 173 (4) Rotation reel stop control means 174 (Timer means 171) The timer means 171 allows the player to rotate the reels 40 The time from when the start switch 30 is operated to start the rotation of is counted. Then, the timer means 171 includes the start switch 30.
From the start of rotation of the rotating reel 40 by operating
When 30 seconds have passed, a 30-second elapsed signal is sent to the automatic stop table selection means 173 and the rotating reel stop control means 174. And the timer means 171 then
After 1 second has elapsed, a 31 second elapsed signal is sent to the automatic stop table selection means 173 and the rotating reel stop control means 174. Further, after that, the timer means 171 sends a 32-second elapsed signal to the automatic stop table selection means 173 and the rotation reel stop control means 174 after 1 second has elapsed. The timer means 171 stops counting the time when all the three rotating reels 40 stop rotating. When all the three rotating reels 40 have stopped rotating, the counting is stopped even while the progress signals are not being generated.

(Automatic Stop Table Storage Means 172) The automatic stop table storage means 172 stores a stop table in which a stop position for automatic stop for automatically stopping the rotary reel 40 is set in advance. Here, there are two types of stop tables for automatic stop: a stop table that corresponds to each winning combination to win each winning combination, and a so-called out-of-range stop table that does not correspond to any winning combination. I have.

Here, in the stop table for automatic stop corresponding to the winning combination, the number of frames of rotational movement until the rotation is stopped at each of the 21 positions around the rotary reel 40 is set to be stopped by the winning symbol. It has been done. For example, even if only three winning symbols are evenly arranged around the rotary reel 40, the rotation of the twenty-one reels around the rotary reel 40 is stopped so that the winning symbols are stopped. The number of frames for rotational movement is set to 0 to 6. As a result, even if 30 seconds have elapsed from the start of rotation at any symbol position, the symbol can be rotationally moved to the winning symbol and stopped.

The so-called out-of-stop table, which does not correspond to any winning combination, is located at each of the 21 positions around the rotary reel 40 so that no winning combination is established on the winning effective line. The number of frames of rotational movement until the rotation is stopped is set so that no winning can occur on the winning effective line. This is for automatically stopping the detached stop design.

(Automatic Stop Table Selection Means 173) The automatic stop table selection means 173 has a predetermined condition on the condition that the 30 seconds elapsed signal, the 31 seconds elapsed signal, or the 32 seconds elapsed signal is input from the timer means 171. The stop table is selected. Specifically, when such a signal is input, the automatic stop table selection means 173, as a result of the lottery by the winning lottery means 110, wins a predetermined winning combination, and
When it is determined that the automatic stop lottery means 160 has the automatic stop lottery result to win the prize by the automatic stop, the stop table for automatic stop corresponding to the winning combination of the winning result of the winning lottery means 110 is selected as the stop table. Further, the automatic stop table selection means 173, when the signal from the timer means 171, is input, as a result of the lottery of the winning lottery means 110, when the predetermined winning combination is not won, it does not correspond to the winning combination, Select a so-called off-stop table. Further, the automatic stop table selection means 173, when the signal from the timer means 171, is input, the lottery result of the winning lottery means 110,
Even if you have won the predetermined winning combination, the automatic stop lottery means 160
As a result of the lottery, when it is not decided to win the prize by the automatic stop, the so-called out-of-stop table which does not correspond to the winning combination is selected.

(Rotary Reel Stop Control Means 174) The rotary reel stop control means 174 is provided with 30 timers from the timer means 171.
When the second lapse signal, the 31 second lapse signal, and the 32 second lapse signal are input, the automatic stop table selection means 173 selects the rotating reel 40 among the three rotating reels 40 in order from the left. It is for stopping based on the stop table.

Specifically, the rotating reel stop control means 174.
When the 30-second elapsed signal is input from the timer means 171, the automatic stop table selecting means 173 controls the rotation of the leftmost left reel 43 on the farthest left when all the three reels 40 are rotating. Stop based on the selected stop table. Then, the rotating reel stop control means 174
One second after that, when a 31-second elapsed signal is input, the rotation of the central rotation reel 44 is stopped based on the stop table selected by the automatic stop table selection means 173. Then, the rotation reel stop control means 174 stops the rotation of the right rotation reel 45 based on the stop table selected by the automatic stop table selection means 173, when a 32-second elapsed signal is input 1 second later.

When the rotation reel stop control means 174 receives the 30 second elapsed signal from the timer means 171,
Of the three rotating reels 40, when one rotating reel 40 is already stopped by the player's stop operation, the rotation of the rotating reel 40 on the left side of the remaining two rotating reels 40 is stopped. The automatic stop table selection means 173 selects and stops based on the stop table. Then, when the 31-second elapsed signal is input from the timer means 171, the rotation reel stop control means 174 controls the rotation of the last one rotation reel 40 based on the stop table selected by the automatic stop table selection means 173. Stop.

When the rotation reel stop control means 174 receives the 30 second elapsed signal from the timer means 171,
Of the three rotating reels 40, when two rotating reels 40 are already stopped by the player's stop operation, the rotation of the remaining one rotating reel 40 is changed to the automatic stop table selecting means 17
3. Stop based on the stop table selected by 3. (Production data storage means 151) The production data storage means 151
Is for storing the effect data of the notification device 66. Specifically, for example, a sound generated from the speaker 67 of the display device 66 at the time of winning the BB game, data such as lighting and blinking time and order of the notification lamp 69, and the display device.
The data of the design pattern and the character string displayed on 68 are stored. Of course, the effect contents to be stored are not limited to these, and may be pre-stored voice, vibration, or various notification means such as lighting of other lamps.

(Production control means 152) The production control means 152
Is for outputting each effect data from the effect data storage means 151 to the notification device 66 based on a control signal from the control device 20 or the like to control the device. Specifically, when there is a high possibility that a winning flag will be established for a BB game, an RB game, or another small winning combination, or during the establishment of a predetermined winning flag, the winning symbols will be aligned on a predetermined winning effective line. When the prize is won, the effect data storage means 151
Based on the effect information from, the lamp at a predetermined position of the notification lamp 69 is turned on or blinked, a predetermined electronic sound is generated from the speaker 67, and a predetermined pattern and character string are lit and displayed on the display device 68. It is for.

(Operation of Gaming Machine 10) Next, an outline of the gaming operation of the gaming machine having the above configuration will be described with reference to the flows shown in FIGS. 3 to 5. First, in step 100 shown in FIG. 3, the start switch 30 is turned on by operating the start switch 30. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 101.

In step 101, the winning lottery means 11
The lottery process is performed by 0. And next step 1
Go to 02. In step 102, the automatic stop lottery means 160 performs an automatic stop lottery process. That is, the automatic stop lottery means 160 determines whether or not to win the prize by the automatic stop by a lottery using random numbers. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 103.

At step 103, the rotation of the rotary reel 40 is started. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 104.
In step 104, it is determined whether or not the player has performed a rotation stop operation of the rotary reel 40 by operating the stop switch 50. Then, when it is determined that the player has performed the rotation stop operation of the rotating reel 40, the process proceeds to the next step 105.

At step 105, the stop table corresponding to the lottery result of the winning lottery means 110 is designated as the stop table for the game. That is, winning lottery means
110 lottery results, if you have won a predetermined winning symbol,
A stop table that can be stopped by drawing the winning symbols on the winning line is specified. In addition, as a result of the lottery by the winning lottery means 110, when none of the winning symbols has been won, a stop table is designated so that none of the winning symbols are arranged on the winning line. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 106.

At step 106, the stop switch 50 is turned on by the player's stop operation. And
Proceed to next step 107. In step 107,
According to the number of frames of the rotational movement of the designated stop table until the rotation is stopped, one frame of the rotary reel 40 is fed by the rotary frame. In addition, the rotation frame feed of this rotary reel 40 is
Since the rotation is not discontinuous rotation but continuous rotation, the player can see no difference from the normal rotation of the rotating reel 40. Then, the next step 108
Proceed to.

In step 108, it is determined whether or not the rotation reel 40 is rotated by the number of frames of rotational movement until the rotation is stopped, which is preset in the stop table, by the rotation frame feed. That is, for example,
When the number of frames for rotational movement from the predetermined position to the rotation stop is set to three in the stop table, it is determined whether or not the stop position is the position moved by the number of three frames. Then, when it is determined that the stop position has been rotated by the number of frames of the rotational movement up to the rotation stop preset in the stop table, the process proceeds to the next step 109.

In step 109, rotation stop processing of the rotary reel 40 is performed, and the rotation of the rotary reel 40 is stopped.
Then, the process proceeds to the next step 110. In step 110, it is determined whether the rotation of all the rotating reels 40 has stopped. Then, when it is determined that the rotation of all the rotating reels 40 is stopped, the process proceeds to the next step 111.

At step 111, it is determined whether or not the winning symbols are lined up on a predetermined winning effective line and the winning is achieved. Then, if it is determined that a prize has been won, the process proceeds to the next step 112. At step 112, medals corresponding to the winning symbols are paid out. Then, the game ends.

When it is determined in step 104 that the player has not performed the rotation stop operation of the rotary reel 40, the process proceeds to the next step 113. Step 11
In 3, it is determined whether or not a fixed time, specifically, 30 seconds, 31 seconds, and 32 seconds has elapsed from the start of rotation of the rotating reel 40. This is done by the timer means 171.
First, it is determined whether 30 seconds have elapsed, and after the 30-second elapsed signal is generated, it is determined whether 31 seconds have elapsed.
After the second lapse signal is generated, it is determined whether 32 seconds have elapsed. Then, when it is determined that the predetermined time has elapsed from the start of rotation of the rotary reel 40, the process proceeds to the next step 114.

In step 114, the winning lottery means 11
Based on the lottery result of 0, it is determined whether or not the player has won. Then, as a result of the lottery of the winning lottery means 110 (step 101), when it is determined that the player has won, the next step 11
Go to 5. In step 115, automatic stop lottery means
As a result of the automatic stop lottery (step 102) in 160, it is determined whether or not it is determined to win the prize by automatic stop. Then, as a result of the automatic stop lottery (step 102) of the automatic stop lottery means 160, when it is determined that it is determined to win the prize by the automatic stop, the process proceeds to the next step 116.

At step 116, as the stop table, the stop table for automatic stop corresponding to the winning combination that has been won as a result of the lottery by the winning lottery means 110 is designated. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 107. When it is determined in step 113 that the predetermined time has not elapsed since the rotation of the rotary reel 40 was started, the process returns to step 104.

When it is determined in the step 114 that the lottery means 110 has won the lottery (step 101), it is determined that the lottery has not been won. In step 117, as a stop table, a stop table for automatic stop is set that does not correspond to any winning combination, that is, any winning symbol does not stop on the winning line. To be done. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 107.

At the step 115, as a result of the automatic stop lottery (step 102) of the automatic stop lottery means 160,
When it is determined that the winning is not determined by the automatic stop, that is, when it is determined that the stopped symbol that is out of order is stopped by the automatic stop, the process proceeds to the next step 117. When it is determined in step 108 that the stop position is not rotated by the number of frames of rotational movement up to the rotation stop preset in the stop table, step 10
Proceed to 7.

If it is determined in step 110 that the rotation of all the rotating reels 40 is not stopped, that is, if it is determined that one or two rotating reels 40 are rotating, step 104 Proceed to. If it is determined in step 111 that no prize has been won, step 112 is skipped and the game ends.

Winning lottery means 11 in the above step 101
The winning lottery process by 0 will be described with reference to the flow of FIG. In step 200, the winning lottery means 110
A random number is extracted by the winning random number extracting means 112 from the random numbers generated by the winning random number generating means 111. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 201.

At step 201, the extracted random number is stored inside the winning random number extracting means 112. And
Proceed to next step 202. In step 202,
The winning determination means 114 compares the extracted random number with the winning determination area data of the winning determination table 113. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 203.

In step 203, the winning determination means 11
By 4, it is determined in which area of the winning determination table 113 the extracted random number is included, and the evaluation of the lottery process is determined. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 204. Step two
In 04, the stop table based on the evaluation determination result of the lottery process is selected. Then, the lottery process ends.

The automatic stop lottery process by the automatic stop lottery means 160 in step 102 described above will be described with reference to the flow chart of FIG. At step 250, a random number is extracted by the automatic stop random number extraction means 162 from the random numbers generated by the automatic stop random number generation means 161 of the automatic stop lottery means 160. Then, the process proceeds to next step 251.

In step 251, the extracted random numbers are stored inside the automatic stop random number extracting means 162. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 252. In step 252, the random number extracted by the automatic stop determination means 164,
A comparison is made with the determination area data of the winning determination table 113. Then, the process proceeds to the next Step 253.

At step 253, the automatic stop determination means 164 determines to which area of the determination table 113 the extracted random number belongs, and the lottery process is evaluated. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 254. Step two
At 54, a stop table based on the evaluation determination result of the lottery process is selected. Then, the lottery process for automatic stop is completed.

In addition, the game machine 10, the symbol display means (specifically, for example, the spinning reel 40) for variably displaying or stopping the display of a plurality of symbols, in order to perform the lottery of the winning symbols by using a random number. Winning lottery means 110, the winning lottery means 1
The game machine 10 is caused to function as a game control means for performing stop control corresponding to the lottery result of 10 and the winning lottery means 11
The lottery result of 0, a predetermined winning combination is won, and the game situation is set to be a prize when the game is in a predetermined prize mode, and the gaming machine 10 is started from the variable display start of the symbol display means. The winning lottery means 11 is provided on condition that a certain time has passed without the player performing a stop operation.
Automatic stop control means 17 for automatically stopping the winning symbol corresponding to the lottery result of 0 at a predetermined stop position to form a winning mode
It can be controlled by a game machine program to function as 0.

This game control means is specifically the normal game control means 70 shown in FIG. 1, the special game control means 80 consisting of the specific introduction game control means 91 and the specific game control means 101.
Alternatively, the automatic stop control means 170 is included. The gaming machine 10 can also be controlled using a computer-readable recording medium in which the above-mentioned gaming machine program is recorded.

The symbol display means is means for variably displaying or stopping displaying a plurality of symbols. Further, this symbol display means can be formed, for example, by using an actual rotating reel 40 displaying a plurality of symbols around it and controlling the rotation of the rotating reel 40. Further, the symbol display means may be formed by using an image display device such as a liquid crystal display or a CRT and sequentially displaying a plurality of symbols on the image display device.

Here, when trying to control the actual gaming machine 10 using this gaming machine program, the "gaming control means" is the symbol when the lottery result of the winning lottery means 110 is a win. The winning symbol of the display means is stopped and displayed, and the player is awarded a prize to give a profit. Further, in such a case, the game control means can be formed, for example, to drive the hopper unit 65 to pay out the actual game medals to the player.

In the case of controlling a commercial or home video game machine or the like using the game machine program, the actual game medals cannot be paid out. Liquid crystal display and CR
The image display device such as T can be formed so as to display an image that increases the number of game medals. (Second Embodiment) In the first embodiment, all winning combinations to be automatically stopped are set, but in the present embodiment, winning combinations to be automatically stopped are set. The winning combination is characterized by being a part of a plurality of winning combinations.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, among the winning combinations, only the winning of the BB game is the winning combination that is automatically stopped. That is, only the winning symbols of the BB game, Seven, Seven, and Seven, can be automatically stopped. Specifically, when the lottery result of the winning lottery means 110 indicates that the winning symbol of the BB game has been won, the player stops the spinning reel 40 for a predetermined time, specifically, 30 seconds. Only when it is decided not to perform and the result of the automatic stopping lottery means 160 is determined to win the prize by the automatic stopping, the winning symbols of the BB game, such as Seven, Seven, and Seven, are automatically stopped on the winning effective line. It is what makes me. As a result, when it is determined that the BB game is won, the player who is inferior in skill of moving to the BB game moves to the BB game without the trouble of calling the manager of the game hall to perform the stop operation by the service. Is what you can do. Of course, when the BB game is won without the automatic stop lottery means 160, the spinning reel
100 on condition that a predetermined time has passed from the start of rotation of 40
%, The winning symbols may be set to be aligned. As a result, it is possible to further relieve a person who is inferior in skill of pushing.

Further, in the present embodiment, the winning symbols to be automatically stopped are set only for the BB game, but the present invention is not limited to this and may be limited to other winning combinations. is there. Specifically, for example, the winning combination to be automatically stopped may be set only for the RB game, or may be set for a specific small winning combination or the like. In addition,
Other configurations, operations, and effects are the same as those described in the first embodiment, and thus description thereof will be omitted.

(Third Embodiment) In the above-described first and second embodiments, the automatic stop control means 17 is provided in all game states such as the normal game, the BB game and the RB game.
Although 0 is set to operate and the automatic stop is set to be possible, in the present embodiment, the automatic stop control means 170 operates only under a specific condition, that is, in a specific game state. , Is set so that it can be automatically stopped.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, the automatic stop control means 170 enables the automatic stop only during the small win game of the BB game. As a result, even a player who is inferior in skill of pushing can increase the profit that the player can obtain in the BB game. In addition, an expert who is excellent in the skill of pushing a finger believes in the skill of pushing a finger and performs a stop operation to win a prize and obtain a sense of self-fulfillment. Therefore, even a skilled person who is excellent in the skill of touching and a beginner who is inferior in the skill of touching can win and enjoy during the small role game of the BB game.

Of course, in the present embodiment, the special game in which the automatic stop operates is not limited to the BB game but may be set to operate in the RB game. Further, in the normal game of 100 games after the BB game and the RB game are finished, the automatic stop control means
It may be set to operate 170. Note that the other configurations, operations, and effects are the same as those described in the first embodiment, so description thereof will be omitted.

(Fourth Embodiment) In the present embodiment,
The automatic stop control means 170 is effective for a part of the three rotating reels 40. In the first to third embodiments described above, the three rotary reels 40, that is, the left rotary reel 43, the central rotary reel 44, and the right rotary reel 45.
In all of the above, the automatic stop control means 170 can automatically stop, but in the present embodiment, only some of the rotary reels 40 are automatically stopped.
Is activated to enable automatic stop.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, the rotating reel 40 of the first stop operation for performing the first stop operation and the second reel
In the rotating reel 40 of the second stop operation for performing the second stop operation, the automatic stop control means 170 does not operate and the automatic stop cannot be performed. Then, only the rotating reel 40 of the third stop operation that performs the third stop operation is the automatic stop control means 17
When 0 is activated, automatic stop is possible. As a result, by the first stop operation and the second stop operation, the winning symbols can be aligned on the winning effective line, and even the remaining one reel 40 can align the winning symbols on the winning effective line. In the winning state, that is, the so-called tempai state, even a player who is inferior in the skill of pushing can surely align the winning symbols and win the prize.

Incidentally, here, the rotating reel of the third stop operation.
Although only 40 is set so that the automatic stop control means 170 operates, the automatic stop control means 170 operates only the right rotation reel 45 in the case of forward pressing or only the left rotation reel 43 in the case of reverse pressing. The conditions may be limited so that it operates. Further, in this embodiment, the rotating reel 40
As a condition for operating the automatic stop control means 170 after 30 seconds have elapsed from the start of the rotation, not only the rotating reel 40 of the third stop operation, but also another condition may be added. Specifically, in the above condition, as a result of the first stop operation and the second stop operation, a predetermined symbol could be aligned on the winning effective line, that is, a so-called tempai state, the operation of the automatic stop control means 170. It may be added to the condition of.

Other configurations, actions and effects are as follows.
The description is omitted because it is the same as that described in the first embodiment. (Fifth Embodiment) The gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment is
The specific small winning combination, the design plum, the plum, and the plum, and the left side reel 43 have a combination winning combination of the design cherry that can be simultaneously won. In this combined role, the design plums, plums, plums, and cherries are one group having a common lottery area, and the lottery of the winning lottery means 110 can be won both by such group lottery. is there.

Then, in this embodiment, the rotary reel 40
Within 30 seconds from the start of rotation,
When the stop operation by 50 is performed and the automatic stop control means 170 does not operate, the winning of a single winning combination cannot be established, but the winning of a multiple winning combination is set possible. That is, the above-described combination of plums, plums, plums, and cherries enables both plums, plums, and cherries to win at the same time. Specifically, this is done by selecting a stop table that allows both winning symbols to be lined up on the winning line.

By selecting the stop table, it is set that the winning combination of the plum, the plum, the single winning of the plum only, or the winning of the single winning of the cherry only is not established. On the other hand, within 30 seconds from the start of rotation of the rotating reel 40, the player does not perform the stop operation, and the automatic stop control means 17
In the case of the automatic stop in which 0 operates, a single winning combination is possible, but it is set so that the simultaneous winning combination by the above-mentioned multiple winning combination is not established. Specifically, even when such a winning combination is won, a stop table in which both plums, plums, and plums are aligned on the winning line is not selected. Then, by selecting the stop table such that only one of the plums, the plums, the plums, and the cherry is lined up on the winning effective line, it is possible to win the single winning combination.

As a result, the player himself believes in the skill of his own push and performs the rotation stop operation of the rotary reel 40 within 30 seconds from the start of the rotation of the rotary reel 40, and the automatic stop control means 170 operates. If you do not do this, if you succeed in pushing the key combination, you will get the simultaneous winning of the combined role, and you can get both of the two single roles that make up the compound role. No single part can win. On the other hand, the player may operate the automatic stop control means 170 without performing the rotation stop operation within 30 seconds from the start of the rotation of the rotary reel 40 because the player's skill of pushing the ball is unskilled. If you do, you cannot win both of the two single roles that make up the combined role,
Plums that make up a complex role, plums, a single role of plums,
You can only win single roles with either single role of Cherry.

Therefore, the player does not stop automatically but performs a stop operation by himself to have an adventure to obtain the profit of the simultaneous winning of the combined winning combination, or to automatically stop the winning combination of only a single winning combination. You will be able to choose whether you can get the profits. With this, it is possible to provide a new game nature in which the tactics of selecting which one is selected.

(Sixth Embodiment) In this embodiment, the relationship between the presence / absence of operation of the automatic stop control means 170 of the fifth embodiment and the presence / absence of winning of both a single winning combination and a multiple winning combination Is set in reverse. Specifically, in the case of the player's own stop operation, that is, in the case where the automatic stop control means 170 is not operated, the winning combination is not possible and only the single winning combination is possible. Then, in the case where the player does not perform the stop operation by himself / herself and the automatic stop is performed by the automatic stop control means 170, the winning combination is set to be possible and the winning combination of only a single combination is set to be unachievable. . further,
Specifically, the stop control when the automatic stop control means 170 is not activated is such that only one of the plum, the plum, the single role of the plum, and the single role of the cherry is on the winning line. This is done by selecting stop tables that do not align. Further, the stop control when the automatic stop control means 170 operates is performed by selecting a stop table such that the winning symbols of the plum, the plum, the plum, and the cherry can be aligned on the winning effective line. It is done. At that time, a stop table that allows only the winning symbols of the plum, the plum, the single role of the plum only, or the single role of the cherry only is set not to be selected. The other configurations, operations, and effects are the same as those of the first and fifth embodiments, and the description thereof will be omitted.

In the present embodiment, the player has to wait for a long time of 30 seconds until the automatic stop control means 170 operates, but instead, the player can win the winning combination. Is possible. On the other hand, the player does not perform the automatic stop but performs the stop operation by himself at his own risk, so that the winning combination is not possible, but only the single winning can be made possible. The number of games per unit time can be increased by advancing the game at its own rhythm without waiting for the time of 30 seconds until the automatic stop control means 170 is activated.

With this, it is possible to add a new game property in the bargaining strategy whether or not to select the automatic stop. (Seventh Embodiment) The present embodiment is characterized in that a certain period of time, which is a condition for starting the automatic stop of the automatic stop control means 170, is changed depending on a game state. In the first embodiment, the fixed time which is the start condition of the first automatic stop is set to 30 seconds during all the games, that is, during the normal games and the special games of the BB game and the RB game. However, in the present embodiment, the fixed time as the start condition for the first automatic stop is set to 30 seconds during the normal game and 20 during the RB game.
It is set to seconds and 10 seconds during the BB game.

Specifically, with respect to the time counted by the timer means 171, by a certain time preset based on the current game state, that is, 30 seconds after the start of rotation during the normal game, during the RB game If the player does not stop the stop switch 50 by 20 seconds after the start of rotation and by 10 seconds after the start of rotation during the BB game, the stop table for automatic stop is selected by the automatic stop table selection means 173. Based on this, the rotating reel stop control means 174 stops the rotating reel 40. The time that is the start condition of the automatic stop in each gaming state is stored inside the rotating reel stop control means 174, and this rotating reel stop control means 174 is based on the current gaming state. The time is set so as to select a predetermined start condition time. The other configurations, operations, and effects are the same as those described in the first embodiment, and the description thereof will be omitted.

According to the present embodiment, the game state shifts to a different game state, so that the fixed time as the automatic stop start condition changes. That is, the automatic stop start condition is 30 seconds during the normal game, 20 seconds during the RB game, and 10 seconds during the BB game. Therefore, as the gaming state changes, the fixed time as the start condition for automatic stop can also be changed as described above. Thereby, for example, RB from the normal game
When a game or RB game is transitioned to a BB game, the fixed time from the start of rotation, which is the start condition for automatic stop, is also reduced from 30 seconds to 20 seconds, and from 20 seconds to 10 seconds. However, the waiting time is reduced for the player, which is more advantageous for the player, and the automatic stop is more easily used. In this way, the game content regarding automatic stop can be greatly changed depending on the difference in the game state, and the game contents can be changed to different ones.
