The drawing numbers also indicate the drawing numbers used in the embodiments of the invention and do not limit the technical scope of the invention. (Claim 1) The invention according to claim 1 is characterized by the following points.

That is, the gaming machine (10) according to the present invention is a spinning reel (40) displaying a plurality of symbols (61) on the periphery and a winning symbol for randomly selecting a winning symbol (61). Lottery means
(110), equipped with a game control means for performing stop control corresponding to the lottery result of the winning lottery means (110), the lottery result of the winning lottery means (110), a predetermined winning symbol (61) It is set that a prize is won when the player wins and the game situation becomes a predetermined prize mode.

Then, the gaming machine (10) according to the present invention is out of the state where no winning symbol (61) has been won, and the predetermined symbol (61) is stopped at a predetermined stop position. It is equipped with special game transition means (200) for shifting to a special game that is a special game state different from the normal game that is the normal game state, provided that it is in a specific stopped state And

The "revolving reel (40)" is not limited to the one in which a plurality of symbols are displayed on the periphery but is actually rotated, and is displayed on the liquid crystal screen. It also includes such things. Specifically, for example, by using a liquid crystal device provided in the center of the game board surface of a pachinko machine or the like, an image as if a rotating reel displaying a plurality of symbols around it is rotated is displayed to the player by the liquid crystal device. It also includes what is displayed toward the user. Further, here, the "gaming machine (10)" is, for example, a slot machine, but the rotating reel (40) described above is used.
It includes a pachinko machine having a game machine and other game machines.

Here, the "winning symbol" means a predetermined symbol combination, and specifically, for example, the left rotation reel (43), the central rotation reel (44).
And, the stop symbol at the predetermined stop position of the right rotation reel (45) includes a combination of symbols such that red seven, red seven, and red seven can be won, respectively, and generally, , Gives an opportunity to give a player a greater profit than a normal game.

Further, here, "out of a state in which no winning symbol is won" is, specifically, a predetermined winning symbol without winning the lottery result of the winning lottery means (110). Even if it is not stopped on the predetermined winning effective line,
As a result of the lottery by the winning lottery means (110), the player wins, but includes both cases where the winning symbol cannot be stopped on a predetermined winning effective line.

[0021] Here, it may be set so that the player can know from the various information that it is out of the state where no winning symbol has been won.
Specifically, for example, by various winning effects, you may be notified of the winning, or may be directly notified that it is out, also, during the stop operation of the rotating reel (40), The stop symbol may be notified directly or indirectly so as to notify that the stopped symbol does not correspond to the winning symbol. Of course, it may be set so as not to notify the player at all that it is out of the state where no winning symbol is won.

Here, the "specific stop state in which the predetermined symbol is stopped at a predetermined stop position" is specifically, for example, a predetermined stop of the left, middle and right rotating reels (40). At a position, a predetermined symbol composed of a predetermined combination that is not a winning symbol such as Seven, Plum, and Seven includes a so-called reach eye such that it stops at a predetermined stop position.

Here, the "special game" of "special game which is a special game state different from the normal game which is the normal game state" is specifically, for example, a so-called replay time game (RT). Games), assist time games (AT games), assist replay time games (AR
(T game), challenge time game (CT game) and the like.

In addition, here, "replay time game (R
"T game)" is a game in which the winning lottery probability of the so-called re-play (replay) winning lottery means (110) is set to a high probability during a predetermined game period. Therefore, during the RT game, it is possible to play the game with almost no reduction in the number of game medals held by the player. Specifically, during the RT game, the winning lottery means (110)
As the winning determination table (113), the winning lottery is performed using the special game determination table (118) that sets the re-play lottery probability to a higher probability than the normal game determination table (115) during the normal game. It is something that is

In addition, here, "assist time game (A
The “T game)” is capable of reporting information on winning of a predetermined winning symbol during a predetermined game period. Specifically, the AT game is a game that can inform information about the lottery result of the winning lottery means (110) of a predetermined winning symbol during a predetermined game period, or a winning lottery means (110) of a predetermined winning symbol. The information includes information about stop control corresponding to the lottery result.

Here, in the AT game, during the predetermined game period, the information about the lottery result of the winning lottery means (110) of the predetermined winning symbol can be reported, specifically, the predetermined game period. In the information that there is a high probability that the winning flag of the predetermined winning symbol is established, the notifying device (66), the specific winning notifying device (145), etc., for notifying the player, The prize is awarded by pressing the notified winning symbol.

Specifically, for example, it is as follows. Bell, Bell, Red 7 and Bell, Bell, Blue 7
There are two winning symbols with, and during the normal game, if the winning flag of either one of the winning symbols is established, it means that either one of the winning flags is established.
The winning flag is set to be notified without specifying the winning symbol. Then, during the AT game, when the winning flag of either one of the winning symbols is established, the winning symbol for which the winning flag is established is specifically specified,
For example, Bell, Bell, and Red 7 are the ones to notify the player like winning. Where Spinning Reels (40)
If you set the symbol arrangement around the so that there is no stop operation position where the symbols of red 7 and blue 7 can be pulled in at the same time,
In the AT game, the amount of profit that the player can obtain can be surely increased by pushing down.

Here, among the AT games, the one capable of informing the information regarding the stop control corresponding to the lottery result of the winning lottery means (110) of a predetermined winning symbol is specifically a so-called push order AT game. It is called such that during the predetermined game period, the player is informed of information regarding a stop operation sequence in which a predetermined winning symbol can be won, a so-called stop operation sequence of a plurality of stop switches (50). .
For example, there are 6 patterns in total, such as left → middle → right or right → middle → left, as the types of the order of stopping operation of the three rotating reels (40) by the corresponding stop switches (50). And one specific stop operation pattern, that is,
It is like that the stop control is set so that the winning operation is performed only when the stop operation order of the three stop switches (50) matches a specific order. In such a case, the stop operation sequence of the winable stop switch (50) is not normally notified to the player, but can be notified only during the AT game.

Further, in the AT game, the information about the lottery result of the winning lottery means (110) of the predetermined winning symbol can be notified during the above-mentioned predetermined game period, that is, the so-called informed winning symbol is pressed. By combining the prize winning and the information about stop control corresponding to the lottery result of the winning lottery means (110) of the above-mentioned predetermined winning symbol, the so-called push order AT game, by mixing both of these. It also includes elements that combine elements. Specifically, for example, as a predetermined winning symbol,
It has the first, second, and third special win modes as shown in the present embodiment, and it is usually unclear which one of them wins, but only during the AT game, which wins It is set that it is possible to win the winning symbol only when the stop switch (50) is stopped in a specific stop operation order. It includes things.

The "challenge time game (CT game)" is a game in which stop control for a specific symbol can be stopped. Specifically, what is a CT game?
There is no winning probability for so-called big bonus games (BB games), regular bonus games (RB games) and re-games, so-called small win winning symbols, and there is at least one rotation for stopping control such as withdrawal processing. This is something that is not done on reels. Therefore, the player, by the so-called push-button, the winning symbol of the small win,
Can be aligned on the effective pay line. This allows
In the CT game, the player's skill of pushing is largely reflected, and the skill of the player can be more effectively exhibited. Therefore, in the challenge time game, a person skilled in the so-called push-and-hold technique can intensively generate a winning symbol with a large number of paid-out medals.

Furthermore, the special game transfer means (2) according to the present invention
As the "special game" to be shifted by 00), a special game such as a big bonus game (BB game) called a so-called bonus game or a regular bonus game (RB game) may be set. That is, the special game transition means (200) may be set to shift to a special game such as a BB game when a predetermined condition is satisfied. Here, as a game, a normal game and a non-normal game having a different game state from the normal game are provided, and as the non-normal game, a special game such as a so-called bonus game such as a BB game or an RB game,
A special game including an ART game other than the special game is provided.

Further, here, "on condition that the winning symbol is out of the state where no winning symbol has been won, and the predetermined symbol is in a specific stop state in which it stops at a predetermined stop position". , "Move to special game", but the condition is to shift to the special game by realizing the number of times of being out and being in the specific stopped state only once. The conditions are not limited to those that are satisfied. For example, it is possible that the condition of shifting to the special game is satisfied by carrying out a plurality of times of being out of the above-mentioned state and being in the specific stop state, two or more times. Is. Furthermore, a score is attached in advance to each of the specific stop states, and by setting those specific stop states,
When the points are added, and the total of the points exceeds a predetermined score set in advance, the transition condition is satisfied,
Those that can be transferred to special games are also included.

(Operation) The present invention, in any winning symbol, even if the winning symbol is out of the state, if the stopping symbol is in the specific stopping condition, the special game transition means (200) causes a special It is possible to shift to a game. Therefore, in addition to the normal enjoyment of the game of whether or not the winning symbol can be won, in the case of a miss in which the prize cannot be won, if it can be put into a specific stop state, a special game You can have a fun different from whether or not there is a winning symbol for winning symbols that you can move to.

Furthermore, it is possible to avoid losing interest in the game at the time when the player finds out that the winning state has not been won in any winning symbol during the game. You can do it, and you can make the game interesting to the end. (Claim 2) The invention according to claim 2 is the above-mentioned claim 1.

It is set that a transition to a special game (ART game) which is a special game state different from the normal game which is the normal game state is performed on condition that the specific stop state is present.

(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 winning lottery means 110. This special game is started based on a specific winning, and is ended by satisfying a predetermined number of games. The 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) Note 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 a normal game, although not shown, for example, when 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 9
0) (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).

(Specific Game Control Means 101) The specific game control means 101 is the RB game control means 100 for controlling the RB game. Specifically, when shifting to the RB game, one medal is inserted, and when a 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. is there. And
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. That is, the RB game is ended when the prize is won a maximum of 8 times or the specific winning game is ended a maximum of 12 times.

(Special Game Control Means 102) The special game control means 102 is for controlling a special game (ART game). Here, the special game, during the normal game, by the special game transition means 200, within the range of a predetermined number of games (specifically, 8 times) within the state where no winning symbol is won If there is, and the predetermined symbols such as the stop states A to G shown in Table 3 are in a specific stop state in which they stop at a predetermined stop position, a predetermined score (specifically, 1 point ) Is added, and the added point becomes a predetermined score (specifically, 2 points) or more, which is started. Then, this special game (ART game) is ended by satisfying the condition of the passage of a predetermined number of games. In the present embodiment, this special game can give a great profit to the player, and specifically means an assist replay time game (ART game).

The ART game is a game in which a so-called assist time game (AT game) and a replay time game (RT game) are combined. Specifically, an assist replay time game (ART game)
The assist time game in which the specific winning notification device 145 informs the winning lottery result of the winning lottery means 110 in the first to third special winning modes, and the replay time game in which the re-play winning rate is set high. It is a fused game.

The assist replay time game (AR
Of the T game), the part to be the assist time game (AT game) has a first special winning mode (red seven, small size, small size) as shown in Table 2 as a winning mode.
Second special winning mode (blue seven, oval, oval) and third
Special winning mode (yellow seven, oval, oval) is provided. When the combination of the winning symbols in the first special winning mode, the combination of the winning symbols in the second special winning mode, and the combination of the winning symbols in the third special winning mode are compared for each of the rotating reels, The winning symbols on the left rotating reel 43 are different from each other in red seven, blue seven, and yellow seven, and the winning symbols on the remaining two central rotating reels 44 and the right rotating reel 45 are set to be the same in oval. ing. Then, on the left-hand side reel 43, as shown in Table 1, by the stop operation, the winning symbol of the first special winning mode,
The winning symbol of the second special winning mode and the winning symbol of the third special winning mode are set so that there is no stop operation position at which the winning symbol can be drawn on the winning effective line at the same time.
Then, the specific winning notification device 145, during the ART game, the first special winning mode, the second special winning mode,
The player is informed that a particular one of the third special winning modes has been won, in a state where the one particular special winning mode can be specified. This allows
As compared to a game in which such notification is not made, the winning percentage can be dramatically increased, and a lot of profits can be brought to the player.

The assist replay time game (AR
A portion of the T game) which is a replay time game (RT game) has a high replay (replay) win rate. Specifically, the winning lottery means 11
As the winning determination table 113 of 0, the special game determination table 118 is used. The special game determination table 118 has a higher replay (replay) win rate than the normal game determination table 115.

(Winning lottery means 110) The above-mentioned winning lottery means 110
Is a lottery for determining whether or not the player wins based on a predetermined winning rate. When the result of the lottery by the winning lottery means 110 is a win (also called an internal winning)
The winning flag is established, and during the establishment of the winning flag, the winning combination is won on the condition that the combination of the stopped symbols of the rotating reel 40 matches the predetermined winning symbol, the payout of medals to the player, the special game, etc. Are set to be given the benefit of.

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 generates random numbers for lottery within a predetermined area (decimal number 0 to 65535). 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, a counter in which a number in the range of 0 to 65535 is sequentially repeated several million times per second is conceivable. Then, as the "winning random number extraction means", the number on the counter is read at the timing when the start switch is pressed. When formed in this way, although the "winning random number generating means" does not generate random numbers, the numbers extracted by the "winning random number extracting means" are
The distribution is as if it were a random number. In this case, the means for obtaining the numbers showing the distribution like the random numbers are included in the “winning random number generating means 111” or the “winning random number extracting means 112” here.

(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. The winning determination table 113 specifically includes four determination tables, a normal game determination table 115, a BB game determination table 116, an RB game determination table 117, and a special game determination table 118, depending on the game state. It is what

The normal game determination table 115 is BB.
The winning rate of the transition to the game or the RB game, the winning rate of the small role, and the replay are set, and the winning rate of the replay (replay) is set lower than that of the special game determination table 118. . The BB game determination table 116 is set with the winning rate of the transition to the RB game and the winning rate of the small role game during the BB game. During the small role game of the BB game, replay (replay) is not set. And
Due to the winning of such a replay design, it is not a replay but an R
It is set to shift to the B game.

The RB game determination table 117 is RB
During the game, the winning percentage of so-called JAC game is set. During the RB game, replay (replay) is not set. The special game determination table 118,
Although not shown in particular, it comprises an ART game determination table. This ART game determination table is B
The winning rate of the transition to B games and RB games, small roles,
The re-play win rate is set, and the re-play (replay) win rate is set higher than in the normal game determination table 115.

(Winning determination means 114) The above-mentioned winning determination means 114
Is a winning judgment area composed of the extracted random number data extracted by the winning random number extracting means 112 and the winning area of each winning item in the entire area of the random numbers taken by the winning random number generating means 111 based on the winning rate 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.

(Transition determination lottery means 180) The above-mentioned transition determination lottery means 180 is a special game (A by the special game transition means 200).
This is for determining whether or not to execute the determination condition of the transition condition to the RT game) based on the result of the lottery using random numbers.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the transition determination lottery means 180 roughly includes the following means.

(1) Transition random number generation means 181 (2) Transition random number extraction means 182 (3) Transition determination table 183 (4) Transition determination means 184 (Transition random number generation means 181) The transition random number generation means 181 is
A random number for lottery as to whether or not to execute the determination of the transition condition is generated within a predetermined area (0 to 65535 in decimal).

Here, the transitional random number generating means 181 and the transitional random number extracting means 182 have the distribution of the extracted numbers as if they were random numbers, as described in the winning random number generating means 111 and the winning random number extracting means 112. It includes the following. (Transition Random Number Extracting Means 182) The transition random number extracting means 182 is
When the transition game flag indicating whether the transition condition is being determined is in the OFF state, that is, when the transition condition is not determined, the random number generated by the transition random number generating means 181 is set to a predetermined condition (start switch 30 Operation). The extracted random number is used as extracted random number data.

(Transition determination table 183) The above-mentioned transition determination table 183 has an area for each item in the entire area of the random number taken by the transition random number generating means 181. Specifically, the migration determination table 183 has two areas: one for performing migration condition determination and one for not performing migration condition determination.

(Transition determination means 184) The transition determination means 184
Is the random number selection area data including the extracted random number data extracted by the transfer random number extraction means 182 and the lottery area of each item in the entire area of the random numbers taken by the transfer random number generation means 181 based on the winning rate data of the transfer determination table 183. And the change condition corresponding to the area to which the extracted random number data belongs is determined.

Here, the transfer determination lottery means 180
Is not limited to those described above, the presence or absence of determination execution is performed based on a predetermined permutation of the presence or absence of execution, and from a player's perspective, random numbers are randomly drawn by random numbers. It may be done as it is done. Specifically, for example, in advance by lottery using random numbers, or by random extraction, the presence or absence of the determination execution, no, Yes, No, No, Yes, Yes, No, No, No, No,
It is stored as 100 pieces of random permutation data such as Yes, No, Yes, No, Yes, Yes, No. Then, after collecting the data from the first and the 100th data, the data is again collected from the first data. It is also possible to sequentially determine whether or not to execute the determination of the transition condition based on such 100 pieces of permutation data.

Further, instead of the above-described transfer determination lottery means 180, whether or not the determination is executed is determined as no, no, yes, no, no,
Yes, No, No, Yes, No, No, Yes, and so on, No, No,
It is also possible to set another transition deciding means so as to become a repeating pattern of a given regular permutation. That is, the transition determining means is such that the permutation data of no, no, and present is stored in advance, and the presence or absence of the determination of the transition condition is determined in order based on the repeated pattern.

(Specific stop state lottery means 160) The specific stop state lottery means 160 selects one of the seven stop states A to G as shown in Table 3
The specific stop state of the transition condition to the ART game is determined by lottery using a random number. This makes it possible to constantly and irregularly change the specific stop state as compared to the one in which the specific stop state as the transition condition is fixed, giving the game unexpectedness and changing the game. It can be done. In particular,
As shown in FIG. 4, the specific stopped state lottery means 160 roughly includes the following means.

(1) Stop state random number generation means 161 (2) Stop state random number extraction means 162 (3) Stop state determination table 163 (4) Stop state determination means 164 (stop state random number generation means 161) The stop state random number generation The means 161 is for generating a random number for lottery for selecting the specific stop state within a predetermined area (decimal number 0 to 65535).

Here, the stop state random number generation means 161
And the stopped state random number extracting means 162 is the winning random number generating means 111.
And as described in the winning random number extraction means 112,
The extracted numbers include those that have a distribution like random numbers. (Stop state random number extracting means 162) The stop state random number extracting means 162 determines the random number generated by the stop state random number generating means 161 when the transition condition to the ART game is determined under a predetermined condition (operation of the start switch 30). ). The extracted random number is used as extracted random number data.

(Stop State Judgment Table 163) The stop state judgment table 163 has an area for each item in the whole area of the random number taken by the stop state random number generation means 161. Specifically, the stop state determination table 163 has seven areas corresponding to the stop states A to G shown in Table 3.

(Stop state determination means 164) The stop state determination means 164 uses the extracted random number data extracted by the stop state random number extraction means 162 and the winning rate data of the stop state determination table 163 to generate the stop state random number generation means 161. Among the stop states A to G shown in Table 3, the specific stop state corresponding to the region to which the extracted random number data belongs is compared with the lottery determination region data including the lottery region of each item in the whole region of the random number It is decided from.

[0140] Here, the specific stop state lottery means
160 is not limited to the one described above, the determination of the specific stop state is performed based on a permutation of a large number of predetermined stop states, from the viewpoint of the player, it is randomly performed by lottery using random numbers. It is good to use something like that. Specifically, for example, as shown in Table 3, when there are seven stop states A to G, the specific stop state is determined in advance by a lottery using random numbers or by random extraction. , A, F, B, D, C,
A, G, E, D, B, G, A, E, F, B, C, ...
The data is stored as 100 pieces of permutation data. Then, data is collected from the first and 10
After the 0th data is collected, it is again collected from the 1st data. Based on such 100 permutation data, the specific stop states are sequentially set to stop state A
It is also possible to use one determined from among G to G.

Furthermore, the specific stop state lottery means 16 described above
Instead of 0, the determination of the specific stop state is determined by A, B, C,
It is also possible to separately set means for determining the specific stop state so as to form a repeating pattern of D, E, F, and G in a regular predetermined permutation. That is, the determination means for determining the specific stop state stores the permutation data of A, B, C, D, E, F, and G in advance, and the stop state that sequentially becomes the specific stop state based on the repeating pattern. Is like deciding.

(Transition Condition Storage Means 170) The transition condition storage means 170 stores the transition conditions such as the score of the transition condition counting means 190 within a predetermined number of games (specifically, 8 times). It is for storing over a plurality of games. Specifically, the transition condition storage unit 170 counts the total number of games M in one cycle from the start to the end of the number of games when it is determined to determine the transition condition from 1 (specifically, M). = 8), and the current game count K when counting the number of games from the start of the transition condition determination while determining the transition condition, and the transition score that must be satisfied to transition to the special game (ART game) L (specifically,
L = 2) and the current score P are stored.
This current score P is the number of times the specific stop state is achieved during the determination of the transition condition, because each stop state has one score. And these numerical data are special game transition means in the game during the transition condition determination.
Is sent to 200.

The transition condition storage means 170 clears the data of the current game count K and the current score P based on the execution of the transition to the ART game by the special game transition means 200. And set the initial setting value to 0. Further, the transition condition storage means 170, if the final eighth game during the transition condition determination is finished, the current number of games K
And the data of the current score P are cleared and the initial setting value is 0.
Set to.

Here, the number of games M in one cycle during the above-described transition condition determination is set to M = 8, and the transition score L is set to L = 2. The present invention is not limited to the above values, but may be set to other numerical values. For example, by setting L = 3, until the current score P reaches 3 points, AR
It cannot be transferred to the T game. In this way, by setting the transition score L to 1 or a numerical value of 3 or more, it is possible to transition to the ART game by realizing the specific stopped state once, or while gradually adding the scores. The game contents can be various, such as a game having an interesting effect of approaching the transition condition.

The transition condition storage means 170 has eight stop states A to G which can be selected as the specific stop states.
And a score corresponding to those stop states A to G, presence / absence of notification of a determination state corresponding to those stop states A to G, and presence or absence of notification of a specific stop state corresponding to these stop states A to G The data of is stored. Table 3 shows that the specific stop state lottery means 160, as the specific stop state of the transition condition to the ART game, is selected by random numbers.
It shows a plurality of stop states A, B, C, D, E, F and G that can be selected and related information corresponding to the stop states.

When one of the stop states A to G is selected as the specific stop state relating to the transition condition by the lottery using the random number of the specific stop state lottery means 160, it is selected. Corresponding to the specific stop state, score data for counting as a score, data whether to notify that the transition condition is being determined, and notification of the specific content of the selected specific stop state The data as to whether or not to perform is determined. That is, when the specific stop state is selected by the specific stop state lottery means 160, at the same time, the score, presence / absence of notification of the determination state, and presence / absence of notification of the content of the specific stop state are shown in Table 3. Is set as follows.

[0147]

[Table 3]

(Transition Condition Counting Means 190) The above-mentioned transition condition counting means 190 is within a range of a predetermined number of games (specifically, 8 times), and is out of a non-winning state and a specific stop state. By satisfying the above, a predetermined score is calculated as a score, and the number of current games during transition condition determination is counted.

That is, the transition condition counting means 190 is
In the game under transition condition determination, every time the game is played,
+1 is added to the current game count K. In addition, the transition condition counting means 190 is a state of being out of a state in which no winning symbol is won during the determination of the transition condition, and is a specific stop state determined by the specific stop state lottery means 160. Thus, the score of each specific stop state (specifically, all of the stop states A to G are set to 1 point) is added to the current score P.

Specifically, the transition condition counting means 190
Collects the value of the current game count K from the transition condition storage means 170 in the game during the determination of the transition condition. This current game count K is 0, which is the initial setting value of the current game count K, if it is the first time in the game range of the transition condition determination, and is in the middle of the transition condition determination (second to eighth times). In the case of the game, the current game count K in the game immediately before the current game is reached. Then, the transition condition counting means 19
0 is the current game count K collected from the transition condition storage means 170
+1 is added to, the value after the addition is set to the current game count K, and the numerical data is sent to the transition condition storage means 170.

Further, the transition condition counting means 190 collects the numerical value of the current score P from the transition condition storing means 170 in the game during the determination of the transition condition. This current score P is 0, which is the initial setting value of the current score P if it is the first time of the transition condition determination, and if it is a game in the middle of the transition condition determination (second to eighth games). , The numerical value of the current score P in the game immediately before the current game. Then, the transition condition counting means 190 is within the number of games during the transition condition determination, is out of the state where no winning symbol is won, and is determined by the specific stop state lottery means 160. If it is in a stopped state, transition condition storage means
The predetermined score (specifically, 1 point) of the selected specific stop state is added to the current score P collected from 170, and the numerical value after the addition result is used as the current game score P of the current game. The numerical data is set and sent to the transition condition storage means 170.

(Special Game Transition Means 200) The special game transition means 200 is out of the state where no winning symbol has been won, and the specified symbol is stopped at a prescribed stop position. This is for shifting to a special game (ART game) which is a special game state different from the normal game which is the normal game state on condition that it is in the stopped state.

Specifically, the special game transition means 200 uses the transition condition storage means 170 a plurality of times within a predetermined number of games (specifically, 8 times) during the transition condition determination of the normal game. On the condition that the score P stored over the game reaches a predetermined numerical value (shift score L = 2), the game is shifted to a special game (ART game). In addition, the game during the determination of the transition condition during the above-mentioned normal game is a range of the number of times of eight games when the game is determined to be the determination result for the transition condition, the lottery result of the transition determination lottery means 180 during the normal game. It is something that can be done within. Then, within the range of the number of times the game has been played eight times, the sum of the points (1 point) obtained by realizing the above-mentioned deviation and the specific stop state reaches a predetermined point (2 points). The special game shifting means 200 shifts from the normal game to the ART game.

Specifically, the special game transition means 200 uses the transition condition storage means 170 to determine the number of games M during the transition condition determination.
(Specifically, M = 8), the current number of games K (1 to 8) when counting the number of games from the start of the transition condition determination during the transition condition determination, and the special game (ART game). Numerical data of the transition score L (specifically, L = 2) and the current score P that must be satisfied in order to shift to () are collected.

Then, the special game transition means 200, based on the collected numerical data during the transition condition determination, ART
It decides whether or not to shift to the game. Specifically, the special game transition means 200 is in the game during the transition condition determination, that is, the current game count K is within the range of 1 to 8, and is in a non-win state and a specific stop state. As a result of achieving, the current game score P of the current game becomes equal to the transition identification L = 2 (when P = L = 2),
Decide to move to ART game. As a result, the game state shifts from the normal game to the special game (ART game).

(Continuous lottery means 210) The continuous lottery means 210
Is a special game ART game, a predetermined number of games,
Specifically, when any of the 30 games, 100 games, 200 games, 300 games, 500 games, and 1000 games is reached, the ART game is further continued until the next predetermined number of games. It is for carrying out a lottery of whether or not. For example, if the ART game reaches 30 games, A until the next 100 games
A lottery for determining whether or not to continue the RT game is performed at the end of 30 games. If, as a result of the lottery, it is decided not to continue, the ART game ends in that 30 games, and if it is decided to continue, the next 10
The ART game can be continuously executed up to the 0 game. Then, when 100 ART games are reached, a lottery as to whether or not to continue the ART games until the next 200 games is performed at the end of 100 games. The same continuous lottery is performed when the ART game continues and reaches a predetermined number of games, and it is possible to continue the ART game up to a maximum of 7,000 games.

As shown in FIG. 5, the continuous lottery means 210 roughly includes the following means. (1) Continuation random number generation means 211 (2) Continuation random number extraction means 212 (3) Continuation lottery determination table 213 (4) Continuation determination means 214 As the continuation lottery means 210, the above-mentioned (1) to (4) It is not limited.

(Continuous random number generating means 211) The continuous random number generating means 211 generates a random number for continuous lottery within a predetermined area (for example, 0 to 65535 in decimal). Here, the continuous random number generating means 211 and the continuous random number extracting means 212 are the winning random number generating means 11 of the winning lottery means 110.
Similar to 1 and the winning random number extracting means 112, it includes means for obtaining numbers showing distribution like random numbers as a result.

(Continuous random number extracting means 212) The continuous random number extracting means 212 uses the random numbers generated by the continuous random number generating means 211 as
The ART game has a predetermined number of games (30 games, 100 games, 200 games, 300 games, 500 games, 1 game).
000 games) is the condition to be extracted. The extracted random number is used as extracted random number data.

(Continuous Lottery Judgment Table 213) The continuous lottery judgment table 213 has a winning area for each winning item in the entire area of the random number taken by the continuous random number generating means 211. Specifically, when the ART game reaches a predetermined number of games, it has a winning area of whether or not to continue the ART game until the next predetermined number of games. In the present embodiment, one continuous lottery determination table 213 is used regardless of the number of games played, but the present invention is not limited to this. Specifically, a continuous lottery determination table that differs for each predetermined number of times the ART game is played.
213 may be set. For example, if the ART game is 30 games, the winning percentage to be continued is set to be high, and 100 games, 200 games, 300 games, and
It is possible to set the winning percentage of the continuous lottery to decrease as the number of RT game plays increases. As a result, when the number of games played is small, such as 30 games, the ART game continues with a high probability, but when the number of games played is large, such as 500 games and 1000 games, the probability of continuation is set to be low. be able to.

(Continuity judging means 214) The continuation judging means 214
The extracted random number data extracted by the continuous random number extraction means 212, and the determination area data including the area of each item in the entire area of the random number taken by the continuous random number generation means 211 based on the winning rate data of the continuous lottery determination table 213, To determine the content corresponding to the area to which the extracted random number data belongs.

In this embodiment, as described above, the number of times of special games (ART games) is changed in advance such as 30 games, 100 games, etc. after the special games (ART games) are transferred. Every time the number of games provided is reached,
It is set that the presence or absence of continuation up to the number of games in the next stage is drawn by lot. However, the method of determining the number of times of special game (ART game) is not limited to the above-described method, and when the transition determination lottery means 180 is elected, the total number of times of special game (ART game) is determined by lottery. , May be set to be determined. That is, instead of performing the continuous lottery as described above during the special game (ART game), when the winning of the transition condition determination is won, the special game (A
The total number of games of the RT game) is determined, and when the number of games of the determined special game (ART game) is finished, the special game (ART game) is finished. Then, the continuous lottery determination table 213 has a winning area for each winning item in the entire random number area taken by the continuous random number generating means 211. Specifically, the predetermined number of predetermined games, 30 games , 100 games, 200
The winning areas of the games, 300 games, 500 games, 1000 games, and 7000 games are set.

(Production data storage means 151) The production data storage means 151 stores production data of the notification device 66, the transferable state notification device 140, the specific stop state notification device 147, and the specific winning notification device 145. It is for. 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 a pattern pattern displayed on the display device 68. And character string data are stored.

Further, in order to notify that the transition condition is being determined, the transferable state informing device 140 causes the "ART
Judgment condition for transition to game! !! The character string data is stored in order to display the character "." Further, during the transition condition determination, the specific stop state notification device 14
By 7, the symbol arrangement in a specific stopped state, the number of current games in the number of games 8 times, the numerical value for displaying the current score,
These numerical data and character string data are stored for displaying characters.

Also, when the first to third special winning modes are won during the ART game, the specific winning notification device 14
In order to display a character string such as red seven for specifying each special winning mode by 5, the character string data is 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 the production data from the production data storage means 151, based on the control signal from the control device 20 or the like, to the notification device 66, the transferable state notification device 140, the specific stop state notification device 147 or the specific winning notification device 145. It is for outputting and controlling these devices.

Specifically, the effect control means 152, when there is a high possibility that the winning flag of the BB game, the RB game, or other small winning combination will be established, or when the predetermined winning flag is established, the predetermined winning prize. When a prize is won by aligning the winning symbols on the activated line, based on the effect information from the effect data storage means 151, the lamp at a predetermined position of the notification lamp 69 is lit or blinked, or the speaker 67 outputs a predetermined electronic signal. This is for generating a sound or for displaying a predetermined pattern and character string on the display device 68 by lighting.

Further, the effect control means 152 is for causing the shiftable state notifying device 140 to light up and display a character string or the like for notifying that the shift condition is being determined. In addition, the production control means 152, the specific stop state notification device 1
By 47, during the transition condition determination, the symbol arrangement for notifying the specific stop state, the character string for notifying the contents of the transition condition, the character string for notifying the current number of games, the current score, etc. It is for displaying etc.

Further, when the first to third special winning modes are won during the ART game, the effect control means 152 uses the specific winning notification device 145 to specify a character string such as red seven for specifying each special winning mode. Is lit for display. (Operation of Gaming Machine 10) Next, an outline of a gaming operation of the gaming machine having the above-described configuration will be described with reference to the flows shown in FIGS. 7 to 16.

First, in step 100 shown in FIG. 7, the start switch 30 is turned on by operating the start switch 30. And next step 1
Go to 01. In step 101, whether the BB game has been won in the game up to the previous time and the BB playing flag has been established (whether the BB playing flag is ON).
It is determined whether or not. Here, the BB game flag is different from the BB winning flag established by the lottery of the winning lottery means 110, from the winning of the BB game to the ending of the BB game when the ending condition of the BB game is established. This holds true and serves as a judgment flag for shifting to the BB game. Then, when it is determined that the BB playing flag is not established, the process proceeds to the next step 102.

At step 102, whether the special game flag (ART flag) is established (ART game is O
It is determined whether or not it is N). The ART flag is set during the ART game from the satisfaction of the ART game start condition to the satisfaction of the ART game end condition. It should be noted that this ART flag is used for the ART game even if the game is transitioned to the BB game in the middle of the ART game unless the condition for ending the ART game is satisfied.
The flag maintains the ON state. And AR
When it is determined that the T flag is not established, the process proceeds to the next step 103.

At step 103, the regular game determination table 115 is acquired as the winning determination table 113. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 104. Step 10
In 4, the winning lottery means 110 performs a winning lottery process. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 105. In step 105, it is determined whether or not the transition game flag is established (whether the transition game flag is ON). This transition game flag is established when the transition condition is determined. When it is determined that the transition game flag is not established, that is, the transition game flag is OFF, the process proceeds to the next step 106.

At step 106, the transition determination lottery means 180 performs the transition determination lottery processing for determining whether or not the determination condition of the transition condition to the ART game is executed, based on the result of the lottery using the random numbers. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 107. In step 107, whether or not the transfer determination by the transfer determination lottery means 180 is performed, that is, AR
It is determined whether or not to perform the determination of the transition condition to the T game. And the lottery result by the transition determination lottery means 180,
If it is determined that you have won the transition determination,
Proceed to next step 108.

At step 108, the transition game flag is established (ON state). Then, the process proceeds to the next step 109. In step 109, the specific stopping state lottery means 160 selects one of the eight stopping states A to G as shown in Table 3 as a specific stopping state of the transition condition by a lottery using random numbers. The specific stop state lottery process for determining is performed. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 110.

In step 110, it is determined whether or not to notify that the condition for shifting to the ART game is being determined. Specifically, depending on the lottery result of the specific stop state lottery means 160, which stop state among the selected stop states A to G has been selected as the specific stop state, it is notified that the transition condition is being determined. It is decided whether or not to do it. That is, the specific stop state lottery means 160
As a result of the lottery, when the stop states A to F are selected as the specific stop states, as shown in the second column from the right of Table 3 in the column of the determination state notification, "Yes" It is decided to notify that there is something. In addition, when the stop state G is selected as the specific stop state, as shown in the column of the second determination state notification from the right in Table 3 of "No", the notification of the determination state is given. It is decided not to do it. And AR
When it is determined that the notification of the condition for the transition to the T game is being made, the process proceeds to the next step 111.

In step 111, the shiftable state notification device 140 determines the shift condition to the ART game, that is, the current game state is in the determination of the shift condition and shifts to the ART game. The player is informed of the possible state. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 112. In step 112, the content of the specific stop state is notified by the specific stop state notification device 147.
Specifically, it is determined whether or not to notify. Specifically, depending on the lottery result of the specific stop state lottery means 160, which of the selected stop states A to G has been selected as the specific stop state, the specific content of the specific stop state is notified. It is decided whether or not to do it. That is, when the stop results A to D are selected as the specific stop states as a result of the lottery by the specific stop state lottery means 160, “Yes” is shown in the column of the first specific stop state notification from the right in Table 3. As described above, it is decided to give the specific content of the specific stop state. In addition, when the stop states E to G are selected as the specific stop states, as shown in the column of the first specific stop state notification from the right of Table 3 as "none", It is decided not to notify the target content.
If the specific stop state notification device 147 determines that the specific stop state is specifically specified and notified, the process proceeds to the next step 113.

In step 113, the specific stop state notification device 147 notifies the player of the specific content of the specific stop state as a condition for shifting to the ART game. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 114. Step 11
At 4, the transition condition counting means 190 adds +1 to the current game count K. Specifically, the transition condition count means 190 collects the current game count K from the transition condition storage means 170, adds +1 to the current game count K, and adds the result to the new current game count K. Set to
This current game count K is sent to the transition condition storage means 170. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 115.

At step 115, the rotation of the rotary reel 40 is started. Then, the next step 120 (FIG. 8)
Proceed to. In step 120 (FIG. 8), the stop switch 50 is operated to operate the stop switch 50.
Turns on. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 121. In step 121, rotation stop processing of the rotary reel 40 is performed. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 122.

At step 122, it is judged if the stop switch 50 corresponding to the three rotating reels 40 has been operated. If it is determined that the stop switch 50 corresponding to the three rotating reels 40 has been operated, the process proceeds to the next step 123. In step 123, it is determined whether or not the BB game is won. If it is determined that the BB game has not been won, the process proceeds to the next step 124.

At step 124, it is determined whether or not another prize has been won. If it is determined that no other prize has been won, the process proceeds to the next step 125. Step 12
In 5, it is determined whether or not the transition game flag is ON (is established). Then, when it is determined that the transition game flag is in the ON state (established), the process proceeds to the next step 126.

At step 126, it is judged whether or not the specific stop state selected by the specific stop state lottery means 160 has been realized. Then, when it is determined that the stop symbols of the three rotating reels 40 realize the specific stop state, the process proceeds to the next step 127. Step 1
At 27, the transition condition counting means 190 adds one point, which is the score of the realized specific stopped state, to the current score P. Specifically, the transition condition counting means 190
However, the present condition score P is collected from the transition condition storage means 170, the score (1 point) of the specific stop state is added to the present condition score P, and the numerical value of the addition result is set as the new present condition score P. It is a thing. The new current status score P is sent to the transition condition storage means 170 and stored therein. In addition, in the present embodiment, as shown in Table 3, the score of all the specific stop states of the stop states A to G is set to one point, and thus one point is added in this step. However, if the score of each specific stop state is set to one other than 1 in advance, the score corresponding to the selected specific stop state is the current score P in this step.
Is added to. Then, the next step 128
Proceed to.

In step 128, the special game shifting means 200 determines whether or not the current score P satisfies the condition of the shift score L (specifically, L = 2) or more. When it is determined that the current score P satisfies the condition of the transition score L = 2 or more, the next step 12
Proceed to 9. In step 129, the transition game flag is turned off (not established). And next step 1
Proceed to 30.

At step 130, the special game flag (ART flag) is turned on (established state). Then, the process proceeds to the next step 131. In step 131, the current score P is cleared and set to 0, and at the same time, the current game count K is cleared and set to 0.
Then, the game ends.

Specifically, it is further determined whether or not the ART game is continued until the next predetermined number of games. Then, the continuous lottery process ends. The rotation stop processing of the rotary reel 40 in the above-mentioned step 121 (FIG. 8), step 144 (FIG. 9) and step 167 (FIG. 10) will be described with reference to FIG.

At step 300, it is judged whether or not the kick-off setting has been achieved for the predetermined symbol. Then, when it is determined that the setting of kicking off the predetermined symbol is not achieved, the process proceeds to the next step 301.
In step 301, the rotating reel 40 is rotated by one symbol. That is, kicking is performed by one symbol. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 302.

At step 302, it is judged whether or not the number of the symbols obtained by rotating the rotary reel 40 by the amount of one symbol corresponds to the fourth symbol after the operation of the stop switch 50. After operating the stop switch 50, if the number of symbols shifted by rotating the rotary reel 40 one symbol at a time is the fourth, the process proceeds to the next step 303.
In step 303, the rotation of the rotary reel 40 is stopped. As a result, the operation of the gaming machine 10 from the insertion of the medal to the stop of the rotation of the rotating reel 40 is completed.

If it is determined in step 300 that the kick-off setting of the predetermined symbol has been achieved,
Proceed to next step 304. In step 304,
It is determined whether or not the drawing is set for any of the symbols. Then, when it is determined that the drawing is set for any of the symbols, the process proceeds to the next step 305.

[0218] In step 305, it is determined whether the pull-in setting has been achieved. When it is determined that the pull-in setting has been achieved, the process proceeds to the next step 303. In the step 304, when it is determined that the drawing is not set for any of the symbols,
Go to step 303.

If it is determined in step 305 that the pull-in setting has not been achieved, step 30
Go to 1. In step 302, when the stop switch 50 is operated and the number of symbols shifted by rotating the rotary reel 40 one symbol at a time is not the fourth symbol, the process returns to step 300.

In the above-described embodiment, the stop processing of the rotating reel 40 is explained in steps 301 to 305. In this example, the condition is checked from the drawing range symbols close to the reference position. To do
This is an example of so-called minimum pull-in stop control. On the contrary, of the pull-in range symbols, the condition may be investigated from the symbol far from the reference position, so-called maximum pull-in stop control.

Furthermore, for example, at the timing when the stop switch 50 is pressed, a rotary reel is driven according to a predetermined table.
A so-called table stop control method of determining the stop position of 40 may be used. This table stop control has a plurality of tables based on whether or not the winning flag is established and the winning symbols for which the winning flag is being established, and a table according to the game situation is appropriately selected from the plurality of tables. .

Even in the table stop control, when the winning flag is established, the stopping position is determined in advance on the table so that the symbols corresponding to the winning flag are aligned on the winning line. It has a so-called pull-in setting. Also, when the winning flag is not established, the stop position is previously determined on the table so that other winning symbols are not aligned on the winning effective line, and it has a kind of so-called kick-off setting. is there.

[0223] In addition, the gaming machine 10 is a symbol display means (specifically, the rotating reel 40 or the like) for variably displaying or stopping displaying a plurality of symbols, and a lottery for a winning symbol is performed by using a random number. Winning lottery means 110, functioning as a game control means for performing stop control corresponding to the lottery result of the winning lottery means 110, and the gaming machine 10 to the winning lottery means 110.
As a result of the lottery, a predetermined winning symbol is won, and the gaming situation is set to be a prize by a predetermined winning mode, and the gaming machine 10 is awarded to any winning symbol. There is no state, and on the condition that the predetermined symbol is a specific stop state where it stops at a predetermined stop position, it shifts to a special game that is a special game state different from the normal game state. Special game transfer means for
It can be controlled by a game machine program to function as 200.

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 special game control means 102 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 a 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.
