Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a slot machine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, for example, three variable display means such as reels (drums) displaying a plurality of types of symbols on the outer peripheral surface are provided, and by rotating these reels, a plurality of types of symbols are variably displayed. Play a variable display game (game), and as a result of the variable display game, the stopped symbols become a predetermined symbol combination mode on a preset effective line and derive a winning result mode. A slot machine that gives a player a value is generally known.

In such a slot machine, a player inserts a predetermined number of game media (usually 1 to 3 in the case of a medal) into a game medium (medals or game balls) or a bet button operation when there is a credit ( After inputting the number of bets based on (bet operation), the reel is rotated by operating the start lever to variably display the symbols, and after a certain period of time, the player is provided automatically or corresponding to each reel. By operating the reel stop button, the rotation of each reel is sequentially stopped and the symbol combination mode (stop result mode) is established. Then, when the reels stop, the symbol combination mode formed on the activated line activated according to the input of the bet number becomes a predetermined predetermined symbol combination mode (winning result mode). In this case, the winning is established, and the number of game media corresponding to the winning type is given to the player. Here, the player inserts a game medium to start the game, and subtracts the credit number according to the bet button operation from the stored number (credit number) of the game medium deposited (credited) in the slot machine in advance. The input of the number of bets based on this is generically called a bet.

Further, in a slot machine such as a general pachi-slot gaming machine, three symbols on each reel can be seen through a display window provided on the front side, and a total of nine symbols can be seen. You can see it. As the above-mentioned effective line, generally, the middle horizontal line is set in the case of 1 bet (one medal bet), and the middle horizontal line and the upper horizontal line in the case of 2 bets (the same two bet). The lower horizontal line is set, and in the case of 3 bets (the same 3 bets), the upper, middle, and lower horizontal lines, and the diagonal line rising to the right and the diagonal line descending to the right are set. Further, in a general pachi-slot gaming machine, a plurality of types of prizes are set, and, for example, a small win prize or medal in which a number of medals less than the maximum payout number (for example, 15) per game is paid out. A regular bonus (hereinafter referred to as RB) that allows a player to play a game again without betting (a so-called replay prize) and a JAC game with a high probability of easily establishing a JAC prize (described later) up to a predetermined number of times. A regular bonus prize (hereinafter, also abbreviated as RB prize) that causes a small win game that easily establishes a small prize win with a high probability and a JAC prize that can be achieved with a high probability. A big bow that generates a big bonus (hereinafter, may be abbreviated as BB) that allows an easy JAC game to be executed up to a predetermined number of times. Scan prize (hereinafter sometimes referred to as BB prize.), And the like are available. Note that a JAC game that can be executed based on the establishment of a BB prize or an RB prize can be executed, for example, by betting one medal. If the JAC prize is established as a result of the execution, for example, The maximum payout number (for example, 15) of medals is paid out. Of these, particularly, RB prizes and BB prizes are called special prizes, and in a special game state (that is, RB or BB) that occurs based on the establishment of this special prize, a large amount (for example, RB prize) 100 or more) game media can be acquired all at once.

[0007] Usually, the pachi-slot gaming machine has a function (internal lottery function) for carrying out a lottery in advance regarding whether or not to win various prizes in connection with the execution of the game (for example, before the stop operation of the symbols). Only when this internal lottery is won, the predetermined symbols are allowed to stop on the activated line to form the winning result mode, and reel control is performed so that the winning can be achieved as much as possible. . Winning the internal lottery is also referred to as "a winning flag is established". On the other hand, when the internal lottery is not won (when the winning flag is not established), the predetermined symbol is stopped on the activated line to form the winning result mode even if the player performs the reel stop operation at any timing. Reel control is performed so as not to do so. Therefore, it is not possible to form a winning result mode at any time when the reel stop operation timing matches, and only when the reel stop operation timing matches after winning the internal lottery, a predetermined winning result mode is set. It can be formed. In this way, by performing the reel stop control based on the internal lottery result, it is possible to some extent to control the game result according to the internal lottery result. However, RB prize and B
Part of special prizes such as B prizes and small winning awards has a small number of symbols forming the prize result mode on the reel as compared with other symbols, and the arrangement interval is set to be large ( Or, there is a case where only one reel is arranged.) Therefore, if the reel stop operation aiming at a specific symbol, that is, if the operator does not press the reel, the win is achieved even if the reel control as described above works. There are cases where you cannot. Therefore, in the case of a player with a low level of skill, such as a beginner in playing games, it is often the case that the prize cannot be established even if the internal lottery is won. It can be said that it is disadvantageous to. In view of such circumstances, a pachi-slot gaming machine has been proposed in which a pattern arrangement is set so that a push is not required to establish each prize. It can be said that such a pachi-slot gaming machine can provide game contents advantageous for beginners.

[0006]

By the way, in the arrangement of the symbols, if there are only winnings that do not need to be pressed, no matter who plays the game, the game result (the game result may or may not be won). Since there is no change in what is done), there is a problem that the game content becomes monotonous. From this problem, there is a demand for a slot machine having a function of predicting a winning prize (for example, in a variable display game satisfying a predetermined condition), and winning the prize when the prediction is hit. ing. However, in the conventional slot machine equipped with this function, the player is expected to select the type of winning prize by setting the symbol arrangement so that the predetermined winning cannot be achieved without pushing each reel. Then, when the player correctly makes a push to establish the expected prize, the prize can be established only when the expectation is met. That is, for example, there are a prize with a winning result mode of "7, 7, ★" and a prize with "7, 7, ☆", and if either of the prizes is established, the player makes his or her prediction. Then, if you hit one of ★ and ☆ (★ and ☆ are not placed in the range where you can stop with one stop operation) and the prediction is correct, the prize will be awarded. It was approved. In other words, the prediction of the winning prize type that has been won has been performed by pressing the button. But,
It is not easy for anyone to perform the push-button operation, and even if a beginner or the like hits the expectation, there are many cases in which the player cannot get the prize due to a mistake in the push-button operation, which causes the player to be dissatisfied. Therefore, there is a demand for a slot machine in which a game result is changed based on the player selecting (estimating) the winning prize type that has been won, by an element other than the push operation.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and is based on the fact that the player selects (estimates) the winning prize type by an element other than the pushing operation. The purpose is to provide a slot machine in which the game result changes, and more preferably, if the player's expectation matches the winning prize, it is possible to easily achieve the prize without the need to push. The purpose is to provide a possible slot machine.

[0008]

In order to solve the above problems, the invention according to claim 1 relates to a plurality of variable display means capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of symbols and a start operation by a player. With a lottery means for lottery whether or not to win the prize, and by a stop operation of the variable display of each variable display means by the player, a predetermined symbol corresponding to the prize in which the lottery result by the lottery means is a win In the slot machine configured such that a winning is established and a predetermined value is given when the combination mode is derived and displayed, the player selects any one of a plurality of predetermined winnings. Possible selection means, a determination means for determining whether or not the winning that has been won by the lottery means and the winning selected by the selection means, and a predetermined winning by the lottery means ,And Only when a stop operation is performed in a predetermined stop operation sequence among a plurality of types of stop operation sequences for stopping the plurality of variable display means, it is possible to form a symbol combination mode corresponding to the predetermined prize. Stop control means for performing stop control of the plurality of variable display means, the stop control means, when the determination means determines that the predetermined stop that can be achieved winning prize It is characterized by including a specific stop operation sequence setting means for setting the operation sequence to a predetermined specific stop operation sequence.

Here, the variable display means is composed of, for example, a reel on which a plurality of kinds of symbols are written, and the variable display means performs variable display by rotating the reel around an axis. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be a liquid crystal display device or a CRT type display device, for example, and the variable display may be performed by changing the display content. Further, "in relation to the start operation" may be "at the time of the start operation (start operation) (of the variable display)" or "at the start of the variable display started based on the start operation". Or may be at another timing related to execution of variable display. The prizes are, for example, big bonus prize, regular bonus prize,
It is set in multiple types, such as small winning a prize and re-game winning (replay winning). Further, the predetermined value given based on the establishment of the winning is a predetermined amount of game media (specifically, medals, for example) determined for each winning. Further, the winning includes, for example, a special winning (for example, the above-mentioned big bonus winning and regular bonus winning are included). These special prizes have a greater value to be given to the player than prizes other than the special prizes (for example, small win prizes or replay prizes). The big bonus that is generated based on the establishment of the big bonus winning is a series of games in which a game (e.g., a regular bonus) that gives a relatively large game value to the player can be performed up to a predetermined number of times. The regular bonus generated based on the establishment of the bonus winning is a series of games in which a game (corresponding to a JAC game, for example) that gives a relatively small game value to the player can be performed up to a predetermined number of times. Also, "predetermined multiple types of prizes" means
For example, a plurality of types of big bonus prizes can be cited, but in addition, for example, a plurality of types of regular bonus prizes or a plurality of types of small win prizes may be used. Further, the "specific stop operation sequence" may be any stop operation sequence out of, for example, six stop operation sequences (when there are three variable display means, for example), but there are five other stop operation sequences. It is preferable that the stop operation sequence is more advantageous to the player than the sequence. The selection means is
More specifically, in order for the player to predict the winning (or the winning to be won) won by the lottery means out of a plurality of predetermined winnings, one of the plurality of winnings is selected. Is a selection means capable of selecting.

According to the first aspect of the invention, if the winning selected by the player (anticipated) and the winning winning match, a specific stop operation sequence (for example, left → middle → right , By pressing the stop operation of each variable display means), the winning can be achieved,
If they do not match, the winning operation cannot be achieved even if the stop operation is performed in a specific stop operation order. In other words, the player selects (estimates) the winning prize type that has been won by an element other than the pressing operation, and depending on whether or not the selection matches the winning prize that has been won, the game result (winning prize) Established / not established; therefore, it is possible to provide a novel gameplay (a highly entertaining gameplay in which the player's expectation is reflected) such as a change in the value given to the player), and to the player. There is no dissatisfaction. Also, even if you win the prize,
The winning probability of each winning can be set to a relatively high probability (compared to the case of the conventional control) because the winning cannot be established unless it matches the player's selection (expectation). There is a possibility that the prediction will hit the winning prize. Therefore, the expectation of the player can be increased.

The invention according to claim 2 is, in the slot machine according to claim 1, wherein the stop control means has a predetermined number of frames from a time when a stop operation is performed on a symbol corresponding to a winning prize. Including the pull-in stop control means capable of pulling and stopping on the effective line within the range, each variable display means, when the stop operation is performed in the specific stop operation sequence, what time point Even if the stop operation is performed, by the pull-in stop control means, it is possible to pull in on any of the activated lines that are valid, and the symbol corresponding to each winning in the predetermined plurality of types of winning is It is characterized by multiple arrangements.

Specifically, for example, the number of variable display means is three, three symbols are displayed for each variable display means, and there are five effective lines for horizontal lines and diagonal lines across each variable display means. In the case of a slot machine in which a line is set and the number of frames that can be pulled in by the pull-in stop control means is four, for example, only when at least three horizontal valid lines are made valid (for example, all valid lines are It is advisable to generate a variable display start right (only when a betting operation is performed to activate) (specifically, for example, when three medals are inserted and five activated lines are activated). Only the variable display can be started.) Alternatively, for example, the interval (the number of frames) between the symbols which can achieve the predetermined winning in the variable display means may be set to be equal to or less than the predetermined number of frames that can be drawn in by the drawing stop control means. Alternatively, on the contrary, the predetermined number of frames that can be pulled in by the pull-in stop control means may be set to be equal to or more than the interval between the symbols which can achieve the predetermined winning in the variable display means.

According to the second aspect of the invention, if the winning selected by the player (anticipated) and the winning winning match, a specific stop operation sequence (for example, left->middle-> right) By simply performing the stop operation of each variable display means in the forward push stop operation sequence), it is possible to easily establish the prize without the need for pressing. Therefore, the player is not dissatisfied with the game, and anyone (even a player with a low skill of touching) can play the game without anxiety. Moreover, it is possible to stop the symbol corresponding to the winning prize that has been won without any unnaturalness (unnaturalness such as slipping a large number of frames) (between the symbols that can achieve the predetermined winning in the variable display means). (When the interval is set to be equal to or less than a predetermined number of frames that can be pulled in by the pull-in stop control means).

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the slot machine according to the first aspect, the stop control means has a predetermined number of frames from a time point when a stop operation is performed on a symbol corresponding to a winning prize. The variable display means includes a pull-in stop control means capable of pulling and stopping on a valid line valid within the range, and each of the variable display means satisfies a predetermined condition regarding a betting operation for generating a right to start variable display. In addition, when the stop operation is performed in the specific stop operation sequence, no matter which time point the stop operation is performed, the pull-in stop control means causes one of the valid lines to be activated. It is characterized in that a plurality of symbols corresponding to the respective winnings in the predetermined plural kinds of winnings are arranged so as to be retractable.

Here, for example, in a betting operation, the number of bets on a game medium (for example, a medal) can be adjusted (for example, 1 to 3), and as the number of bets increases, The number of valid lines is increasing. Then, in this case, by performing a betting operation with a betting number of a predetermined number or more, "when the stopping operation is performed in a specific stopping operation sequence, the stopping operation is performed at any time, The pull-in stop control means fulfills the condition (predetermined condition) that the valid line becomes valid so that it can be pulled in on any of the valid lines.

According to the third aspect of the invention, when a predetermined condition is satisfied regarding the betting operation for generating the variable display start right, the player selects (expects) the winning and the winning. If there is a match with the winning, the stop operation of each variable display means is performed in a specific stop operation order (for example, the left->middle-> right push-stop operation order). Can be established. Therefore, the player is not dissatisfied, and anyone can play the game at ease. Moreover, the symbols corresponding to the winning prizes that have been won can be stopped without any unnaturalness (unnaturalness such as slipping a large number of frames).

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the slot machine according to the first aspect, the stop control means has a predetermined number of frames from a time point when the symbols corresponding to the winning prize are stopped. Including a pull-in stop control means capable of pulling and stopping on an effective line within a range, and a specific variable display means among the plurality of variable display means is used when a stop operation is performed in the specific stop operation order. , No matter which time the stop operation is performed, the withdrawal stop control means allows the player to be drawn on any of the activated lines that are valid, and corresponds to each of the plurality of predetermined prizes. The feature is that a plurality of symbols to be arranged are arranged.

According to the invention of claim 4, if the winning selected by the player (predicted) matches the winning winning, a specific stop operation sequence (for example, left → middle → right By simply performing the stop operation of each variable display means in the order of the forward-pressing stop operation, it is possible to easily achieve the winning without the need to press the eyes. Therefore, the player is not dissatisfied, and anyone can play the game at ease. Moreover, the symbols corresponding to the winning prizes that have been won can be stopped without any unnaturalness (unnaturalness such as slipping a large number of frames).

The invention described in claim 5 is the invention according to claims 1 to 4.
In the slot machine described in any of 1,
A plurality of types of special prizes that can give a predetermined game value to the player by the establishment thereof are included, and the selection means is configured such that the player selects any one of the plurality of types of special prizes. It is characterized by being.

Here, the "special prize" may be, for example, a big bonus prize, but may be a regular bonus prize. Further, a plurality of types of special prizes are, for example, prizes that can give equal (equivalent) game values to each other, and therefore specifically mean, for example, a plurality of types of big bonus prizes, or It means multiple types of regular bonus winnings, and does not mean “multiple types” including both big bonus winnings and regular bonus winnings. It should be noted that these plural types of special prizes (for example, big bonus prizes) are established based on the establishment of mutually different prize flags.

According to the invention of claim 5, the object of selection (prediction) is a special winning, so the selection (prediction) is very important in the game. Therefore, this selection itself attracts the interest of the player, and it is possible to make the contents of the game highly entertaining such that the contents of the game thereafter can be greatly changed depending on whether or not the prediction is made by the player. further,
You can increase the joy when you make a prediction.

According to a sixth aspect of the invention, in the slot machine according to any one of the first to fifth aspects, the stop control means wins when the determination means determines that they do not match. It includes a stop operation order random setting means for randomly setting the stop operation order that can achieve the winning prize to any one of a plurality of kinds of stop operation orders other than the specific stop operation order. It is characterized by that.

According to the sixth aspect of the present invention, when it is determined that they do not match, the stop operation sequence that can establish the winning prize is a plurality of stop operation sequences other than the specific stop operation sequence. Since it is randomly set to any one of the stop operation orders, it is not possible to specify the stop operation order that can achieve the winning, and thus it is difficult to achieve the winning. Therefore, it is possible to increase the winning probability in the case where it is determined that they match, as compared with the case where it is determined that they do not match, and it is possible to further increase the importance of selection (prediction).

The invention according to claim 7 is, in the slot machine according to any one of claims 1 to 6, when a prize is won by the lottery means, a winning state of the prize is predetermined. It is characterized by comprising a winning state invalidating means for invalidating the symbol combination mode corresponding to the winning even if a number of games are executed.

Here, the “predetermined number of games” specifically means, for example, one game, but it may be two or more games. However, it is preferable that the number is smaller than the number of patterns in the stop operation order (for example, if there are 6 stop operation orders, it is preferable that the number of games is 5 or less). Note that one variable display (starting and ending) is counted as one game.

According to the seventh aspect of the invention, the number of games in which the selected winning can be achieved is limited, so that the importance of the selection function can be further increased and the enjoyment can be enhanced. In addition, since the probability that the player's selection (expectation) matches the winning award that is won and the winning can be established is lowered, the winning probability of each award is relatively high (compared to the case of the conventional control). As a result, there is a possibility that the prediction will hit the winning prize that is frequently won. Therefore, the player's expectation can be further enhanced.

According to an eighth aspect of the present invention, in the slot machine according to any one of the first to seventh aspects, the selecting means plays any one of a plurality of predetermined prizes. It is characterized in that it is provided with a selection operation means that can be selected and operated by a person.

According to the invention described in claim 8, the player can easily set the selected (predicted) winning by the selecting operation means.

According to a ninth aspect of the present invention, in the slot machine according to any of the first to eighth aspects, the stop control means is predetermined based on establishment of a predetermined game condition. For all of a plurality of types of prizes, including a specific stop operation order special setting means for setting the predetermined stop operation order that can be achieved when the prize is won to the specific stop operation order It has a feature.

Here, the "predetermined game condition" is, for example,
Big bonuses (regular bonuses) can be achieved with a certain probability of winning, but in addition,
For example, it may be established with a predetermined probability when the player wins out of any prize in the game, or is established when a predetermined small winning combination is established (and a predetermined probability among them). May be In addition, the probability that a predetermined game condition is satisfied may be set to be higher than that in a normal time during a period in which a predetermined number of games are played after the end of the big bonus.

According to the ninth aspect of the invention, when a predetermined game condition is satisfied, a predetermined stopping operation is performed when all of a plurality of predetermined prizes are won. By performing the stop operation in order, the winning can be established. Therefore, the player's expectation can be greatly increased.

Next, the process relating to betting on medals will be described. First, when the "non-credit state" is selected by the credit selection button 12, when a medal is inserted from the medal insertion slot 6, the inserted medal detection sensor 6a detects the inserted medal and the detection signal is played. Input to the control device 50. Then, the game control device 50
Based on this detection signal, the memory of the bet number of medals is added, and the bet number is displayed on the bet number display unit 3
Display in 1. However, the bet number is set to a predetermined upper limit value (for example, 3), so if you insert medals that exceed the upper limit value, the medals that exceed the upper limit value are not added to the bet number. It is designed to be returned to the saucer 18.

On the other hand, when the "credit state" is selected by the credit selection button 12, when a medal is inserted through the medal insertion slot 6, the medal detection sensor 6a detects the medal and the detection signal is sent to the game control device. Enter 50. Also in this case, similarly, the game control device 50 adds the memory of the bet number of the medal based on the medal detection signal, and displays the bet number on the bet number display section 31. Furthermore, when medals that exceed the upper limit of the number of bets (three coins) are inserted, the medals that have exceeded the medals are not added to the number of bets, and the memory of the number of credits of medals is added one by one. The addition result is displayed on the credit amount display unit 7 as the credit amount. However, the credit number is set to a predetermined upper limit value (for example, 50 coins), and when a medal exceeding the upper limit value is inserted, the number of credits for the exceeded medal is not added to the credit number and the tray 18 It is supposed to be returned to. Further, when the 1 bet button 10 or the max bet button 9 is operated in the state where the credits of the medals are present, the number of medals corresponding to the operation is bet, and the memory of the credit number is subtracted by the bet number. .

When paying out medals based on winning in the "non-credit state", all the medals are paid out to the saucer 18, while winning in the "credit state". When paying out medals based on the
Receiving 1 by adding medals to credits until reaching
No coins are paid out to 8, and medals in excess of the upper limit value are paid out to the saucer 18 without being added to the number of credits.

Further, the number of activated lines to be activated changes according to the bet number (betting number) of medals. That is, for example, when the bet number is 1, only one activated line (for example, the middle horizontal line) is activated,
If the number of bets is two, three effective lines (for example,
The upper, middle, and lower horizontal lines are activated, and when the bet number is 3, all activated lines are activated. Then, the medal is paid out only when a predetermined winning result mode corresponding to the winning is established on the activated line activated according to the bet number. On the contrary, even if the winning result mode is established on the activated lines other than the activated activated line, the payout of the medal corresponding to the winning is not performed.

The pachi-slot gaming machine 100 is configured as described above, and is configured to perform the game control described below by the control system such as the game control device 50.

First, in a state where a bet is made by inserting a medal from the medal insertion slot 6, or in a state where a bet is made by operating the max bet button 9 or the 1 bet button 10, or in the previous game. When the winning result mode of the replay winning (replay winning result mode) is established, the start lever 13 is operated without betting.

Then, the operation of the start lever 13 is detected by the start lever switch 13a, and this detection signal is input to the CPU 51 of the game control device 50. Based on this input, the CPU 51 of the game control device 50 extracts a random number for internal lottery, and the extracted random number and the ROM 52 in advance.
The internal lottery is performed by comparison with the judgment value stored in. Here, the timing of performing the internal lottery may be when the start lever 13 is operated (at the time of start operation), or when the variable display is started, and other related to the execution of the variable display. May be the timing. That is, it suffices if a lottery is performed to determine whether or not to win the prize in association with the start operation by the player. In this way, the game control device 50 functions as a lottery means. Further, according to this internal lottery, any of the prizes (for example, a small role prize, a big bonus prize, a regular bonus prize, a replay prize (in the case of the present embodiment, as described later, a big bonus prize and a regular bonus prize, Is set to multiple types respectively)))
The winning flag corresponding to the winning that is selected on the condition that the lottery result is a win (for example, any of the small win winning flag, the big bonus winning flag, the regular bonus winning flag, and the replay winning flag (in the present embodiment, In this case, as will be described later, the winning flags for the big bonus prize and the regular bonus prize are set to a plurality of types respectively)), and the data indicating that the prize flag is established is generated. , Temporarily stored in the RAM 53.

On the other hand, the CPU 51, based on the input of the detection signal from the start lever switch 13a, causes the reels 20 to 20 with respect to the first to third reel motors 611 to 613.
A control signal for instructing the rotation start of the a to 20c is sent (control to start the rotation of each reel 20a to 20c is performed). As a result, the variable display of the symbols is performed. After starting the variable display of symbols in this way, the reels 20a to 20c are operated by operating the reel stop buttons 14a to 14c.
When the stop operation becomes possible, the CPU 51 sends a control signal for instructing each stop button lamp 140 to turn on (a process of turning on each stop button lamp 140 is performed). By turning on the stop button lamp 140 by this processing, the reel stop buttons 14a-1
It is notified that the reels 20a to 20c can be stopped by the operation of 4c. In this way, each reel 2
When the reel stop buttons 14a to 14c are individually operated sequentially while the stop operation of 0a to 20c is possible, the operation signals from the reel stop switches 14d to 14f are input to the CPU 51, respectively. Then C
The PU 51 determines the stop position of each reel 20a to 20c based on the input timing of the operation signal and the established state of each winning flag, and based on this determination, each reel 20a to each reel motor 611 to 613. A control signal for instructing to stop the rotation of 20c is output.

For example, when one of the winning flags is established, the symbol pull-in stop control is performed so that the symbol corresponding to the winning flag is preferentially stopped and displayed on the activated line. ing. Here, the game control device 50
Functions as a pull-in stop control means. With the drawing pull-in stop control, when the timing of the stop operation deviates earlier within a predetermined range, the reel stop buttons 14a to 14a
The reels 20a to 20c are not stopped immediately based on the operation of 4c, but the stop timing is slightly delayed to preferentially stop the symbol corresponding to the winning flag on the activated line. . In other words, in this control, the stop operation is performed and then the variable display of the symbols is stopped with a slight delay with respect to the timing of the stop operation, so that at the time of the stop operation, it has not yet reached the effective line. The symbol will be stopped and displayed on the activated line. However, since there is a limit to the number of symbols (within a predetermined number of frames) that can be stopped in the pull-in control (for example, within +4 frames), the symbol that can be stopped on the effective line by the pull-in stop control is the reel stop button. 1
Based on the operations of 4a to 14c, a symbol that can be stopped on the activated line without performing the pull-in stop control and a symbol of a predetermined number of subsequent frames (for example, 4 frames) are provided. Here, the symbol that can be stopped on the activated line without performing the pull-in stop control is, as a rule, a symbol located on the line when the reel stop buttons 14a to 14c are operated. When the reel stop buttons 14a to 14c are operated at a timing that cannot be immediately stopped on the line, the next symbol is displayed.

On the other hand, when no winning flag is established, control is performed to prevent the symbol combination mode corresponding to the winning from being derived. That is, specifically, for example, when the first reel 20a and the second reel 20b are stopped, "7 (white), 7
(White) "are aligned on the activated line, and the third reel 20c
However, if "7 (outlined)" is aligned on the activated line, and if the state becomes a winning result mode of the big bonus (see FIG. 3), the activated state is applied to the third reel 20c. Control (kicking out control) is performed so that "7 (white)" is not aligned on the line. That is, the first reel 2
0a and the second reel 20b are stopped, the "7
If the third reel stop button 14c is operated at a timing when 7 (white) is on the effective line in a state where (white) and 7 (white) are aligned on the effective line, “7 It is the third until (white) comes off the effective line.
The kick-out control for stopping the reel 20c after rotating it is performed.

Based on the operation of each reel stop button 14a to 14c, any one of the above-mentioned controls (each reel 20a
To control each reel 2 to
Three symbols for each of 0a to 20c are in a state of being stopped and displayed on the variable display unit 20 (a state in which the stop result mode is derived and displayed), and the variable display of the symbols ends.

As described above, when the player displays the stop result based on the operation of the reel stop buttons 14a to 14c by the player, and the winning result mode is derived and displayed, it means that the winning has been established. A predetermined number of medals are paid out according to the type of winning.

That is, the pachi-slot gaming machine 100 has a plurality of reels 20a to 20 capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of symbols.
c (variable display means), and a game control device 50 (lottery means) for lottery whether or not to win a prize in association with a start operation (operation of the start lever 13) by the player, each of which is provided by the player. By stopping the variable display of the variable display means,
When a predetermined symbol combination mode corresponding to a winning for which the lottery result by the lottery means is a win is displayed, the winning is achieved and a predetermined value is given.

If the stop operation of all the reel stop buttons 14a to 14c is not completed before a certain time (for example, 30 seconds) has passed from the operation of the start lever 13, the variable display of the symbols becomes endless. In order not to continue, when a certain time (for example, 30 seconds) has elapsed from the operation of the start lever 13, the CPU 51 outputs a stop control signal to the reel motors 611 to 613. Then, based on this stop control signal, the reel motors 611 to 613, all of the reels 20a to 20c that have been rotating until that time, that is, the reels 20a to 20c, or
The rotation of any two or one of the reels 20a to 20c is stopped. For this reason, the player can play all reels 20a ...
Even if the stop operation of 20c is not completed, if a certain time has elapsed from the operation of the start lever 13, the reel 2
The rotation of 0a to 20c is automatically stopped, and the variable display of the symbols ends, and the variable display unit 20 stops and displays three symbols for each reel 20a to 20c.

As described above, even when the winning result mode is established as a result of the stop display after a certain time (for example, 30 seconds) has elapsed from the operation of the start lever 13, the established winning result mode A predetermined number of medals are paid out according to the type.

In the case of the present embodiment, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, a big bonus prize (hereinafter sometimes abbreviated as BB prize) and a regular bonus prize (hereinafter abbreviated as RB prize) will be awarded. ), Replay prize (re-game prize), and small role prize (crown). In the case of a BB winning, whether "7 (white), 7 (white), 7 (white)" are aligned on the activated line, or "7
(Filled), 7 (white), 7 (white) ”, or if“ 7 (shaded), 7 (white), 7 (white) ”are lined up, 15 medals will be awarded. Pay out. In the case of RB winning, whether "7 (blank), 7 (blank), BAR" are aligned on the activated line, "7 (filled), 7 (blank), BAR)" are aligned, or When "7 (shaded), 7 (white), BAR" are complete, 15 medals are paid out. In the case of a small role prize (crown), 8 medals will be paid out when "crown, crown, crown" are lined up on the activated line. In the case of a replay prize, if "replay, replay, replay" are aligned on the activated line, medals will not be paid out, but even if the player does not make a new bet, the same number of bets as that game are automatically placed. Then, the next game (re-game; replay) can be performed only by performing the operation of the start lever 13.

In the case of the present embodiment, the winning flag of each winning is valid only in the game in which the winning flag is established.
It will not be carried over to the next game. That is, when the lottery means (game control device 50) wins the prize, the winning state of the prize is won even if a predetermined number of games (for example, once in this embodiment) are executed. It is provided with a winning state invalidating means (game control device 50) for invalidating when the symbol combination mode (winning result mode) corresponding to is not established.

Further, in particular, when the result of the stop display, the winning result mode of the BB prize or the RB prize is derived and displayed, and the BB prize or the RB prize is established, the medals are paid out and a big bonus (hereinafter, A privilege (a predetermined game value) such as generating a regular bonus (hereinafter, may be abbreviated as RB) or a regular bonus (may be abbreviated as BB) is given. In other words, of the prizes, BB prizes and RBs
A prize is awarded to a player with a predetermined game value (BB
Alternatively, it is a special prize that enables the awarding of RB).

That is, when the RB winning is established,
15 medals are paid out and RB is started.
During this RB, a special game called a JAC game can be executed up to a predetermined number of times (for example, 12 times).
In the JAC game, the bet number of medals is, for example, one, and the effective line corresponding to this one bet (for example,
When JAC symbols are aligned on the middle horizontal line (for example,
When the winning result mode of the replay prize is established)
It will be a prize and a predetermined number (for example, 1
Pay out 5 medals. This RB has a J in the RB
The game ends when either the AC game is played 12 times or the JAC winning is achieved 8 times during the RB.

When a BB prize is established, a predetermined number (for example, 15) of medals are paid out, and B
Start B. During this BB, a special game called a small winning game can be executed up to a predetermined number of times (for example, 30 times). In this small win game, a small win is generated with a higher probability than in a normal game. Furthermore, during BB, the above-mentioned RB can be executed up to a predetermined number of times (for example, 3 times). The condition for starting RB during BB is a bonus-in (also referred to as a JAC-in) in which bonus-in symbols are aligned on the activated line as a result of the small winning game (for example, a winning result mode of replay winning is established). That is. Then, by this bonus-in, a predetermined number (in the case of the present embodiment, two medals (for example, 0 coins) may be paid out), and the small winning game is temporarily interrupted to start the RB. This BB, for example, performs the small winning combination game 30 times in the BB, or executes the RB 3 times in the BB,
When either of the conditions is satisfied, the process ends.

Next, the pachi-slot gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment
The main game control of 0 will be described.

First, in the case of the present embodiment, among the BB prizes, the winning result mode is “7 (white), 7 (white),
7 (white) ”and“ 7 (filled), 7
(White), 7 (white) "and" 7 (shaded), 7 (white), 7 (white) "
The winning flags are different. That is, a BB whose winning result mode is “7 (white), 7 (white), 7 (white)”
When the winning flag of winning is established, the winning result modes of “7 (white), 7 (white), 7 (white)” can be established, but “7 (filled), 7 ( (White), 7
(White) "or" 7 (shaded), 7 (white),
The winning result mode of "7 (white)" is not established. Similarly,
The winning result mode is “7 (filled), 7 (white), 7
When the winning flag of the BB winning of “(white)” is established, only the winning result modes of “7 (filled), 7 (white), 7 (white)” can be established, and the winning is achieved. When the winning flag of the BB winning with the result mode “7 (shaded), 7 (white), 7 (white)” is established, “7
(Shading), 7 (white), 7 (white) ”can be established. That is, a plurality of types of special prizes are set, which have the same game value given to the player based on the establishment of the prize, but have different prize flags from each other. In the following, for the sake of simplicity, among the BB prizes, the prizes whose winning result mode is “7 (white), 7 (white), 7 (white)” are the first BB winning and winning result modes. The winning of "7 (filled), 7 (white), 7 (white)" is the second BB winning, and the winning result mode is "7 (shaded), 7 (white), 7 (white). Is the third prize.
It is called BB prize. Further, the winning flag corresponding to the first BB winning is the first BB winning flag, the winning flag corresponding to the second BB winning is the second BB winning flag, and the third BB.
The winning flag corresponding to the winning is called the third BB winning flag.

Further, in the case of the present embodiment, among the RB prizes, the prizes whose winning result mode is "7 (white), 7 (white), BAR" and "7 (filled), 7"
(Outlined), BAR ”, and“ 7 (shaded),
The winning flags are different from the winning of "7 (white), BAR". That is, when the winning flag of the RB winning with the winning result mode of “7 (white), 7 (white), BAR” is established, “7 (white), 7 (white), BAR The winning result mode of "" can be established, but "7
(Fill), 7 (white), BAR ”or“ 7
(Shaded), 7 (white), BAR ”are not established. Similarly, when the winning flag of the RB winning with the winning result mode of “7 (filled), 7 (blank), BAR” is established, “7 (filled), 7 (blank), BAR” Only the winning result form of can be established,
The winning result mode is "7 (shaded), 7 (white), BA
When the winning flag of RB winning of "R" is established,
Only the winning result mode of “7 (shaded), 7 (white), BAR” can be established. For the sake of simplicity, in the following, among the RB prizes, the prizes whose winning result mode is “7 (white), 7 (white), BAR” are the first RB winning and winning result modes are “7 (filled). ), 7 (outlined), BAR "is the second RB prize, and the winning result mode is" 7 (shaded), 7 (outlined), BAR "is the third RB
It is called a prize. In addition, the winning flag corresponding to the first RB winning is the first RB winning flag, the winning flag corresponding to the second RB winning is the second RB winning flag, and the winning flag corresponding to the third RB winning is It is called an RB winning flag of 3.

When any of the first to third BB winning flags is established, the character "BIG" on the winning state display portion 801 is displayed in a lighted state to notify that the BB winning flag is established. It is like this. On the other hand, when one of the first to third RB winning flags is established, the winning state display portion 80
The character "REG" of 2 is displayed by light emission to inform that the RB winning flag has been established.

Further, in the case of the present embodiment, the player can select the type of BB prize and RB prize by performing a selection operation with the selection operation switch 850. That is, the player is provided with a selection operation unit that allows the player to select a predetermined prize from a plurality of predetermined prizes (a plurality of BB prizes and a plurality of RB prizes). Specifically, for example, every time the operation is performed, “a state in which the first BB prize and the first RB prize are selected” → “a state in which the second BB prize and the second RB prize are selected” → "The state where the third BB prize and the third RB prize are selected" → "The state where the first BB prize and the first RB prize are selected" ...
In this way, the selected prize type is cyclically changed. In addition, the selection operation switch 8
The selection status display unit 803 notifies the types of BB and RB prizes selected by the operation of 50. Here, the winning result modes of a plurality of types (three types) of BB winning are:
Only the symbols of the first reel 20a are different from each other, and the symbols of the second reel 20b and the third reel 20c are equal (common) to each other, so that each BB winning is the first reel 20.
They can be distinguished from each other by the type of the symbol a. Similarly, a plurality of types (three types) of RB prizes are also won on the first reel 2
They can be distinguished from each other by the type of symbol 0a.
Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 5, for example, the selection state display unit 803 only notifies the type of the symbol of the first reel 20a while configuring the winning result mode of the winning to be selected, The types of the selected BB prize and RB prize can be notified. That is, the selection state display unit 803 displays, for example, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 5, “7 (white), 7 (filled), 7 (shaded)” in the design.
Consists of semi-transparent resin, etc.
The winning status indicator 802a arranged at the back of the selection status display portion 803 changes the lighting state to “7.
(White) part, "7 (filled)" part,
It is possible to cause any of the "7 (shaded)" parts to emit light. That is, each time the selection operation switch 850 is operated, the selection state display unit 80
3, "7 (white) light-emitting display (Fig. 5)" → "7 (filled) light-emitting display" →
"7 (shaded) is a light emitting display" → "7 (white)
Is switched to the state in which the light emission is displayed ”...
By looking at the selection state display portion 803, it is possible to confirm which prize is selected.

In the present embodiment, when any BB or RB prize is won, the BB selected is selected.
Type of prize or RB prize and selection operation switch 85
If the type of BB or RB prize selected by the operation of 0 matches, the respective reels are pushed forward (first reel 20a → second reel 20b → third reel 20c; specific stop operation sequence). The winning result mode can be established by performing the stop operation of 20a to 20c. That is, the pachi-slot gaming machine 100 wins by the selection means (selection operation switch 850) and the lottery means (game control device 50) by which the player can select any one of a plurality of predetermined prizes. The determination means (game control device 50) for determining whether or not the winning award and the winning selected by the selecting means match, and a predetermined winning by the lottery means (any BB winning or any RB winning) ) And a plurality of variable display means (first to third reels 20).
a to 20c) Only when the stop operation is performed in a predetermined stop operation order among a plurality of kinds of stop operation sequences for stop operation, it is possible to form the symbol combination mode corresponding to the predetermined prize. The stop control means (game control device 50) for controlling the stop of the variable display means is provided, and the stop control means, when the determination means determines that they match, the predetermined stop that can establish the winning prize. Specific stop operation sequence setting means (game control device 5) for setting the operation sequence to a predetermined specific stop operation sequence (for example, forward push)
0) is included.

Here, a plurality of variable display means (first to third).
There are six kinds of stop operation sequences for stopping the reels 20a to 20c) as shown in FIG. 8 when there are three variable display means as in the present embodiment. That is, left (first reel 20a) → middle (second reel 20b)
→ Right (third reel 20c) stop operation order (pushing order number; so-called forward pressing), left → right → middle stop operation order (pushing order number), middle → left → right stop operation order (pushing order number) ), Middle → right → left stop operation order (push order number), right →
There are 6 ways: left → middle stop operation order (pushing order number) and right → middle → left stop operation order (pushing order number).

Further, in the present embodiment, when any BB prize or RB prize is won, the corresponding BB is selected.
Type of prize or RB prize and selection operation switch 85
If the type of BB prize or RB prize selected by the operation of 0 does not match, the winning result mode is established even if the reels 20a to 20c are stopped by pressing forward (a specific stopping operation order). I can't. Further, if there is no match as described above, the stop operation sequence that can win the winning prize is randomly set to any one of a plurality of types of stop operation sequences other than the forward push. That is, when the determination means determines that they do not match, the stop control means determines the stop operation order that can win the winning prize as a plurality of types of stop operation orders (pushing order) other than the specific stop operation order. It includes a stop operation sequence random setting means (game control device 50) that is randomly set to any one of the numbers ~).

In addition, in the prize, a plurality of kinds of special prizes (first prize) which can give a predetermined game value to the player when the prize is established.
~ 3rd BB prize and 1st ~ 3rd RB prize)
The selection means (selection operation switch 850) includes any one of the plurality of types of special prizes (any one of the first to third BB prizes, and the first to the first). The player is configured to select any one of the 3 RB prizes).

Further, in the case of the present embodiment, since the symbols are arranged as shown in FIG. 4, when at least three horizontal rows of the activated lines are activated by betting two or more bets. The player can surely establish the winning result mode by performing a stop operation on each of the reels 20a to 20c by pressing forward. That is, each variable display means (first to third reels 20a to 20c) has a predetermined condition for betting operation for generating the variable display start right (for example, at least three horizontal sides by betting two or more cards). If the stop line is satisfied and the stop operation is performed according to the specific stop operation sequence (for example, pressing forward), the retract operation is stopped at any time. By the control means (game control device 50), any of a plurality of predetermined prizes (either BB prize or RB prize) can be drawn in on any of the activated lines which are valid. ), A plurality of symbols corresponding to each winning a prize are arranged. That is, first, regarding the first reel 20a to be stopped first, as shown in FIG. 4, "7 (white)", "7 (filled)",
As for any of the symbols "7 (shaded)", at least one is arranged in at least 7 frames, so if at least three horizontal lines of the activated lines are activated, no matter which time the stop operation is performed, Each symbol can be pulled in and stopped on any of the activated lines. As for the second reel 20a to be stopped secondly, since "7 (white)" is arranged at least once in every five frames, no matter which time point the stop operation is performed, it is on the effective line. The design can be pulled in and stopped. Further, with respect to the third reel 20b, "7 (outlined)" and "BAR" are arranged at least one in each of the five frames, so that no matter which time the stop operation is performed, the line is on Each symbol can be pulled in and stopped.

Further, in the case of the present embodiment, since the symbols are arranged as shown in FIG. 4, with respect to the second reel 20b and the third reel 20c, the winning result mode is obtained by performing the stop operation by pressing the forward. It is possible to establish. That is, a plurality of variable display means (first to third)
When the stop operation is performed on the specific variable display means (the second reel 20b and the third reel 20c) of the reels 20a to 20c in the specific stop operation sequence (for example, forward push), what time point Even if the stop operation is performed at, by the pull-in stop control means (game control device 50), it is possible to pull in on any of the valid lines that are valid,
A plurality of symbols corresponding to each prize in a plurality of predetermined prizes (any of BB prizes or any of RB prizes) are arranged.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, for example, when the first BB prize is selected by operating the selection operation switch 850, when the first BB prize is won, FIG. As shown in FIG. 6 (b) → FIG. 6 (c), the first BB prize is established simply and surely without the need to press the eye by simply performing the stop operation by pressing the forward (push order number). Can be made.

However, when the first BB winning is selected by operating the selection operation switch 850, the first BB is selected.
If you win a BB prize (a second BB prize or a third BB prize) other than the prize, press the forward button as shown in FIG. 7 (a) → FIG. 7 (b) → FIG. 7 (c). Even if you do a stop operation,
The first BB prize cannot be established.

Further, in the pachi-slot gaming machine of the present embodiment, even if the winning is won, the winning probability cannot be established unless the player's selection (expectation) is met, and thus the winning probability of each winning is set. It can be set to a relatively high (relative to conventional control) probability. That is, as for the probability of winning the winning flag (probability of winning), specifically, as shown in FIG. 10, for example, the probability of winning the winning flag of each BB winning is 1/100.
With (probability setting 3), the probability of establishment of the winning flag of each RB winning prize can be set to 1/80 (probability setting 3), which is higher than in the case of the conventional control, and as a result, the winning is frequent. There is a possibility that the prediction will hit the winning prize. Therefore, the expectation of the player can be increased.

Next, referring to the flowchart of FIG.
The main control flow (game processing) performed by the pachi-slot gaming machine 100 of the present embodiment will be described.

First, in this game process, step S1
If it is determined that the start lever 13 has not been operated. If it is determined that the start lever 13 has not been operated, step S
On the other hand, when it is determined that the operation has been performed while moving to 6,
Control goes to step S2.

In step S2, the bonus flag (first
~ Any of the 3BB winning flags, or the 1st to 3R
It is determined whether or not one of the B winning flags) is established, and if it is determined that it is not established, step S6
On the other hand, when it is determined that it is established,
Control goes to step S3.

In step S3, a process of notifying whether the established bonus flag is the BB winning flag or the RB winning flag is performed, and the process proceeds to step S4. That is, in this step S3, when one of the first to third BB winning flags is established, the winning state display portion 8
At 01, the fact that the condition is satisfied is notified by performing a light emission display of the character "BIG". Alternatively, when one of the first to third RB winning flags is established, the winning state display unit 80
The fact that the condition is established is informed by performing a light emission display of the character "REG" at 2.

In a succeeding step S4, it is determined whether or not the type of the established bonus flag matches the selection made by the player.

If it is determined in step S4 that they match, the process proceeds to step S5, a process of setting the reel stop process flag corresponding to the pressing order number is performed, and the process proceeds to step S6. Here, with the reel stop processing flag corresponding to the push order number, it is possible to establish the winning result mode by performing the stop operation with the stop operation order as the push order number while the flag is established. It is a flag that causes

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S4 that they do not match, the process proceeds to step S8. In this step S8, a process of randomly selecting the reel stop process flag corresponding to any of the pressing order numbers 1 to is performed, and the process proceeds to step S6. Here, press order number ~
With the reel stop processing flag corresponding to any of the above, in the state where the flag is established, by performing the stop operation with the stop operation sequence as the push order corresponding to any one of the push order numbers It is a flag that enables it to be established. However, in this case, as will be described later, it is necessary to push the eyes.

In step S6, it is determined whether or not one game has ended. If it is determined that one game has not ended, this game processing is ended, while if it is determined that it has ended, step 7 Move to.

In step S7, the process of erasing the winning flag is performed, and the game process is terminated. That is,
The winning flag of each winning is valid only in the game in which the winning flag is established, and is not carried over to the next and subsequent games.

The stop operation by the normal push is more advantageous than other stop operations for the following reason.

In the stop operation sequence (middle → right → left (pushing sequence number) or right → middle → left (pushing sequence number)) for stopping the first reel 20a last, the first reel 20a is stopped.
At the stage before stopping, the effective line is limited to one line. Since the line-limited effective line is arranged at an interval (for example, 7 frame intervals) that may not be drawn, it is necessary to press the stitch in order to stop the desired symbol on the effective line. For this reason, the stop operation by pressing forward (pushing sequence number) is more advantageous than the stop operation sequence (pressing sequence number) that finally stops the first reel 20a.

In addition, when the stop operation is performed with the push order number (middle → left → right), the second prize is given when the first BB prize is won.
At the stage when the reel 20b is first stopped, FIG.
As shown in, there is a possibility that 7 (white) is stopped in the middle stage. In this case, for example, when the stop operation is performed on the first reel 20a at the timing when the symbols of the array numbers 8, 9, and 10 are located on the variable display unit 20, as shown in FIG. There is no choice but to perform the pull-in stop control so that the variable display section 20 stops at (white), 7 (filled), and 7 (shaded). In this case, for example, when the stop operation is continuously performed on the third reel 20c at the timing when the symbols of the array numbers 13, 14, and 15 are located on the variable display unit 20, etc., the first BB winning result The mode cannot be established. This means that, as shown in FIG. 11C, for example, two winning result modes of the first BB winning and the third RB winning are simultaneously established (double winning is established).
This is to avoid Further, in order to avoid the establishment of such a double winning, the second reel 20b to be stopped first
For, as shown in FIG. 12 (a), 7 (white)
When the stop to the middle stage is avoided, the effective line is limited to one line of the upper horizontal line, so the first reel 20
In the case of "a", there is a timing when 7 (white) cannot be drawn in on the effective line, so it is necessary to press the eye. As described above, the stop operation by the forward pressing (the pressing order number) is more advantageous than the pressing order number.

Further, when the stop operation is performed in the pushing order number (right → left → middle), for example, when the third BB winning is won, the third reel 20c is arranged in the array numbers 10, 11, 12.
When the stop operation is performed at the timing when the numbered pattern is positioned on the variable display section 20, etc., there is no choice but to perform the pull-in stop control so that 7 (white) is stopped in the upper stage, as shown in FIG. 13A. Further, the first reel 20a is arranged with the sequence numbers 12 and 1
3rd, 14th (or sequence numbers 11, 12, 13)
When the stop operation is performed at the timing when the (No.) symbol is positioned on the variable display unit 20, 7 (white), 7 (filled), 7 (shaded) are variable display units, as shown in FIG. 13B. There is no choice but to perform pull-in stop control so as to stop at 20. In this case, if 7 (white) is stopped in the middle of the second reel 20b, the double winning will be established.
The winning result mode of the third BB winning cannot be established. For this reason, the stop operation (pushing order number) by the forward pressing is more advantageous than the pressing order number.

Further, when the stop operation is performed by the pushing order number, for example, when the third BB winning is won, the symbols of the first reel 20a are arranged on the variable display section 20 with the arrangement numbers 12, 13, and 14. When the stop operation is performed at the timing of being positioned, as shown in FIG. 14A, 7 (white), 7
There is no choice but to perform pull-in stop control so that (filling) and 7 (shading) stop on the variable display unit 20. Furthermore, the third
When the reel 20c is stopped at the timing when the symbols of the array numbers 10, 11, and 12 are located on the variable display section 20, as shown in FIG. 14 (b), 7 (white) is stopped in the upper row. There is no choice but to carry out the pull-in stop control as described above. In this case, if 7 (white) is stopped in the middle of the second reel 20b, the double winning will be established.
The winning result mode of the third BB winning cannot be established. For this reason, the stop operation (pushing order number) by the forward pressing is more advantageous than the pressing order number.

That is, as in the present embodiment, by appropriately setting the arrangement of symbols, one particular type of stop operation sequence (pushing sequence number) can be selected from other stop operation sequences (pushing sequence number to). Can be made more advantageous (advantageous in that no pressing operation is required).

According to the above-described embodiment, if the winning selected by the player (anticipated) matches the winning winning, a specific stop operation sequence (for example, left → middle → right The winning operation can be achieved by performing the stop operation of each of the reels 20a to 20c in the order of the forward-pressing stop operation). I can't let you do it. That is,
The player selects (estimates) the winning prize type selected by an element other than the push operation, and the game result changes depending on whether or not the selection matches the winning prize. It can provide a variety of playability.

When a predetermined condition is satisfied with respect to the betting operation for generating the variable display start right (when at least three horizontal lines are activated), the player selects (expects) the prize. If the winning prize matches with the winning prize, the reels 20a to 20d are reeled in the order of the stop operation of the normal push.
By simply performing 0c stop operation, no need to press
Moreover, the winning can be surely established. Therefore,
There is no dissatisfaction with the player, and anyone can play with peace of mind. Moreover, the symbols corresponding to the winning prizes that have been won can be stopped without any unnaturalness (unnaturalness such as slipping a large number of frames).

Further, since the target of the player's selection (prediction) is the special winning, the selection (prediction) is very important in the game, and this selection itself attracts the interest of the player. It is possible to make the contents of the game highly entertaining so that the contents of the game thereafter can be greatly changed depending on whether the player makes the prediction or not, and it is possible to enhance the joy when the prediction is hit.

Also, since the number of games that can be established for the special prize winning flag is limited to one, the importance of the selection function can be further increased and the enjoyment can be enhanced. In addition, since the probability that the player's selection (expectation) matches the winning award that is won and the winning can be established is lowered, the winning probability of each award is relatively high (compared to the case of the conventional control). As a result, there is a possibility that the prediction will hit the prize that is frequently won, and the expectation of the player can be further enhanced.

The present embodiment is not limited to the above example, and the following variations can be considered.

When all the prizes of all kinds (including not only BB prizes and RB prizes but also small win prizes and replay prizes) are won based on the establishment of a predetermined game condition, the prizes are won. The stop operation sequence that can be satisfied may be set to a specific stop operation sequence. That is, the stop control means, based on the establishment of a predetermined game condition, for all of the predetermined plurality of types of prizes, the predetermined stop operation sequence that can achieve the prize when winning, It includes special stop operation sequence special setting means for setting the specific stop operation sequence. Here, the “predetermined game condition” may be established with a predetermined probability of having established a BB prize (or an RB prize), but in addition, for example, from which prize win in a game. It may be established when it also falls out (or a predetermined probability thereof), or it is established when a predetermined small winning combination is established (or a predetermined probability thereof). good. Also,
After the end of BB, the probability that a predetermined game condition is satisfied may be set higher than that in the normal time during a predetermined number of games. In this case, if a predetermined game condition is satisfied, all of a plurality of predetermined prizes are won, and if a prize is won, the winning operation is achieved by performing a stop operation in a specific stop operation order. You will be able to. Therefore, the player's expectation can be greatly increased.

In addition, when a player selects one of the plurality of small winning a prizes and the selected small winning a prize is established, a stop operation for establishing the small winning a prize. The order may be set to a specific stop operation order. In addition, by the establishment of a specific game condition (for example, it is established with a predetermined probability of the BB winning being established, or is established with a predetermined probability when the player is out of any of the winning prizes in the game). The special stop operation order special setting means is provided with a means for generating a specific game state, and in the specific game state, in the case where any one of the plurality of types of small winning a prizes is established, the small winning a prize is won. The stop operation sequence to be established may be set to a specific stop operation sequence. Therefore, normally (other than the specific game state), by randomly setting the stop operation sequence that can achieve the prize, the small winning combination is appropriately established, and the profit balance between the game shop and the player can be adjusted. Occasionally, a specific game state occurs, which can provide an opportunity to obtain a large amount of value in a short period of time, which can enhance the player's expectation.

If the player has not performed a selection operation, a preset type (for example, 7
((White)) may be selected. In this way, it is possible to prevent a situation in which a player who has played a game without making a selection because he / she does not know the content of the game cannot establish any special prize. Alternatively, the winning type may be randomly selected for each winning of the BB winning (or the RB winning). Further, in the above embodiment, the player selects the BB (RB) prize to be won next (in advance, for example, before starting the game), but when the bonus flag is established, the player is selected. May be selected. In this case, from the game start operation, the first to third reels 20a
The selection operation is performed before the first stop operation of 20 c. In addition, if the selection operation is not performed before the stop operation is performed, a preset type may be (automatically) selected, or a type may be randomly selected. Good. Further, as a selection operation means, a dedicated selection button (selection operation switch 8
50) may not be provided, and other operation means may also be used for selection operation. That is, for example, the stop button (reel stop button 14a) or the start operation unit (start lever 13) may be used in combination. In addition, in the case of being shared, the selection operation may be performed when the stop operation or the start operation is invalid.

Further, as reel stop control for enabling or disabling winning according to the pressing order, a plurality of types of stop tables consisting of a stop table capable of winning and a stop table not capable of winning are selected. If the selection and the winning match (if the stop processing flag corresponding to the pressing order number is established), for example, select a stopping table that can win the winning by pressing the forward number, and the selection and the winning are When not done (when the stop processing flag corresponding to any of the push order numbers ~ is established), the stop table in which the win cannot be established by the forward push (the stop table in which the win can be established by another push order) Make sure to select.

In the above-described embodiment, when each of the symbols is arranged so that all bonus symbols can be stopped (within a predetermined number of frames) when the button is pressed forward, when the selection and the winning match, Each bonus design (7 (white), 7 (filled), 7 (shaded) and BAR) without needing to press
Is stopped on the effective line, but if the upper limit of the number of sliding pieces (the number of drawn pieces) is eliminated, the arrangement of the above symbols is not necessary, and if the selection and the winning match, many The number of frames (for example, a maximum of 20 frames) may be slid to forcibly stop the symbols constituting the winning result mode on the activated line. That is, the stop control means determines that the determination means match, and when the stop operation is performed in the specific stop operation order, the predetermined symbol combination mode corresponding to the winning prize that is won is forced. And a forced stop control means for deriving and displaying.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, an example in which the winning prize which is won can be surely established by pushing only when the predetermined condition for the betting operation is satisfied based on the player's intention has been described. However, for example, regardless of the player's will, the betting operation may always satisfy a predetermined condition so that the winning prize can be established by pushing the winning prize. That is, for example, when there are three reels, three symbols are displayed for each reel, and five effective lines are set for the horizontal line and the diagonal line for each reel, which can be pulled in by the pull-in stop control means. For slot machines with up to 4 coins, for example, only when at least 3 horizontal lines are activated (for example, only when a betting operation is performed to activate all activated lines) It is preferable that the variable display start right can be generated (specifically, the variable display start operation can be performed only when, for example, three medals are inserted and five effective lines are activated). In this case, in each variable display means (first to third reels 20a to 20c), when the stop operation is performed in the specific stop operation order, the pull-in operation is performed at any time when the stop operation is performed. It can be said that, by the stop control means, a plurality of symbols corresponding to the respective winnings in the predetermined plural kinds of winnings are arranged so as to be able to be drawn in on any of the activated lines.

When the player's selection (expectation) and the type of the winning prize match, even if the number of games that can be executed before the winning state becomes invalid becomes longer than in the case where they do not match. Good. For example, if the player's selection (expectation) does not match the type of winning prize, the winning state is invalidated by exhaustion of one game, and the player's selection (expectation) matches the type of winning prize. In this case, the winning state is invalidated by exhausting 3 games. That is, when the determination means determines that the winning state matches, the winning state invalidating means sets a larger number of games for which the winning is invalidated, as compared to the case where the matching means does not determine the matching state. Is included.
Alternatively, the winning state invalidating means includes an invalidated game number extending means for extending the number of games for which the winning is invalidated when the determining means determines that they match. Alternatively,
If the player's selection (expectation) does not match the type of winning prize, the winning state is invalidated by digesting a predetermined number of games (for example, once), and if they match, the winning state is not invalidated. (It may not be invalidated until the symbol combination mode corresponding to the won prize is formed). That is, the winning state invalidating means invalidates the winning state only when the determining means determines that they do not match. (When the determination means determines that they match, the winning state is not invalidated). In this way, when the player's selection (expectation) and the type of the winning prize match, the player's more advantageous state can be generated, and the interest and expectation can be surely increased. .

The present invention is not limited to the pachislo gaming machine 100 of this embodiment. For example, other pachislo gaming machines, pachislo gaming machines or pachinko gaming machines that perform games using game balls instead of coins. It is also applicable to ball game machines such as arrangement ball game machines and sparrow ball game machines. In addition, it should be thought that embodiment disclosed this time is an illustration and restrictive at no points. The scope of the present invention is shown not by the above description but by the claims, and is intended to include meanings equivalent to the claims and all modifications within the scope.
