Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a gaming machine having a plurality of variable display portions capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional game machine of this type, after inserting a game medium such as a medal or a coin into a slot, a variable display section, which is three drums displaying identification information as a pattern, is rotated, When the rotation of the variable display section is stopped by sequentially pressing the stop means, which is a stop switch, and when the variable display section is stopped,
A slot machine is generally used, in which when a certain number of pieces of identification information are gathered, a predetermined number of game values are given and game contents are awarded.

In such a slot machine, when the display result stopped and displayed on the three variable display portions becomes a combination of predetermined specific identification information and a specific gaming state (big bonus) is established, first, Predetermined number of times (3
(0 times) A second game occurs in which a small hit occurs with a high probability. During the second game, for example, by stopping the replay identification information, a game (jack game) to which a high payout is awarded is performed a plurality of times (for example, 15 game contents are awarded out of 12 times of the number of jack games). It ends when the number of times played is 8 times or when it exceeds 12 times of the jack game.) The game shifts to the first game (regular bonus) that can be performed, and when the first game ends, it shifts to the second game. First
The game is repeated a predetermined number of times (3 times) within a predetermined number of times of the second game (30 times). For example, if the first game is repeated three times within 30 times of the second game, or if the second game is played 30 times, the big bonus ends.

As another game of the first game and the second game, there is a game machine provided with a challenge time game which is continuously performed for a certain period after the end of the specific game state. When the stock game is started during the game of the challenge time and the specific game state is established in the stock game, the establishment flag is stored, and after the stock game is finished, the specific game is executed for the number of the stored establishment flags of the specific game state stored. The state is what is to be done.

[0005]

In the conventional gaming machine, the specific game state is generated only when the identification information is prepared in a specific combination, and the specific game state generated at that time is 1 Since it was limited to the number of times, there was almost no chance that a specific game state would occur consecutively. Also, even in the case of stock games, the opportunity is limited to a certain period after the end of the specific game state, so there are few opportunities to establish the specific game state from the viewpoint of the whole game, and the interest of the game and the attraction of customers. It did not lead to a sufficient increase in sex.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine in which the number of opportunities for occurrence of a specific game state is large and the mode of occurrence is rich.

If the number of times the game has been executed has not reached the number of times the challenge time has ended (step S1508; N), the process returns to step S1501, and if the number of times the game has been reached (step S1506; Y), this processing ends (return). ).

FIG. 16 shows the challenge winning process. When the identification information to be a big bonus is on the activated line (step S1601; Y), the stock number of BB is incremented by 1 (step S1602). Then, a predetermined number of medals are paid out (step S1606),
The process ends (return). When the identification information for the regular bonus is on the activated line (step S1603; Y), the stock number of RB is incremented by 1 (step S1604). Then, a predetermined number of medals are paid out (step S1606), and the process ends (return).

When the identification information of the small winning combination appears on the activated line (step S1605; Y), a predetermined number of medals are paid out (step S1606), and the process ends (return). When the out-of-range identification information is stopped, the process is ended as it is (return).

FIG. 17 shows the effect display process. 18 to 23 exemplify the display state on the front of the gaming machine when the effect display is performed. When the chance time random number is extracted during the challenge time and the effect display process is activated, first, in this process, a random number lottery for determining the effect display result is performed. In addition, this effect display process,
It is processed in parallel with the challenge game processing. In addition, an effect display (stock game) similar to a poker game of playing cards is performed.

After performing the random number lottery, it is checked whether or not the rotation of the drum is started in the reel rotation processing of the challenge game processing which is performed in parallel (step S1).
702), when the rotation of the drum is started (step S17)
02; Y), as shown in FIG.
"Chance time" is displayed or a sound effect is played to notify the player that the chance time has come (step S1703).

In accordance with the operation in which the stop buttons 25a to 25c are pressed and the drums are sequentially stopped, the effect display is recommended step by step on the effect display unit 70 toward the final result according to the result of the random number lottery previously performed. (Step S1704).
For example, as shown in FIG. 19A, when the first stop button is pressed and the first drum is stopped,
Up to 3 of the 5 playing cards are confirmed and displayed. When the second drum is stopped, the contents of the fourth playing card are further confirmed and displayed as shown in FIG. 19 (b).

When all the drums are stopped (step S1)
705; Y), and in accordance with this, the final result of the effect display is displayed (step S1706, FIG. 20). Then, the stock number of RB is cumulatively added by the stock number corresponding to the result of the effect display (step S1707), and the stock number generated this time is displayed on the stock number display unit 60 (step S1708). After a while, the effect display unit 70 is returned to the normal display state (step S170).
9). In the example shown in FIG. 20, since a royal straight flush appears as a result of the effect display, RB is cumulatively added for nine times. In the cases shown in FIGS. 21 to 23, since the result in which two identical tags are arranged is displayed, one RB is cumulatively added. FIG. 24 shows the correspondence between the winning combination and the number of stocks in the stock game. When the winning combination is not completed, the stock number is “0”, and new cumulative addition is not made.

In this way, the RBs stocked in the chance time during the challenge game are sequentially executed after the challenge time ends. Also, each time the stock is consumed and RB is performed, the stock number displayed in the stock number display section 60 is sequentially subtracted and displayed.

When a new stock number occurs a plurality of times during the challenge time, these stock numbers are cumulatively added. In this case, during the chance time, the displays as shown in FIGS. 18 to 20 are displayed on the stock number display portion 60, and after the opportunity time, the total of the accumulated stock numbers is displayed. . The total stock number and the newly generated stock number may be displayed on different display units.

As described above, in the embodiment, the chance time is generated during the challenge game after the big bonus game is finished and the effect display is displayed, but the chance time is generated during the other game state. May be. Further, the present invention is not limited to the special game state such as the challenge game state, and the chance time may be randomly generated by a lottery or the like, or the effect display may be performed every time.

In the embodiment, RBs are stocked in the stock game, but BBs may be stocked. In addition, both RB and BB can be stocked, and R can be stored according to the result of the effect display.
It may be configured to determine how many times B or BB is stocked. If both RB and BB can be stocked, the RB
It is advisable to separately provide for BB and BB.

Further, in the embodiment, the number of newly generated stocks is configured to be cumulatively added to the number of stocks so far. However, until the number of stocks generated earlier is exhausted,
The stock number may not be newly added.
In addition, an upper limit may be set for the number of stocks that can be cumulatively added, or an upper limit may be set for the number of cumulative additions of the stocks generated by the stock game. For example, during one challenge time, the stock number can be added up to three times, and the stock number can be up to 15 times.

Further, in the embodiment, the effect display is performed according to the start and stop of the rotation of the drum, but the effect display may be performed without being synchronized with the rotation of the drum.
