Description

[0001]
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a gaming machine, particularly to a slot machine.
[Prior art]
In the slot machine, when a player operates a start switch, a lottery using random numbers is performed inside the slot machine. As a result of the lottery, a predetermined winning combination is won, and the symbols corresponding to the winning combination are stopped on the winning activated line, thereby winning. When a prize is generated, a valuable medium such as a credit or a coin, or an advantageous game value such as a replay (replay game) is provided to the player. Further, a special game state, such as a big bonus game, which is more advantageous to a player than a normal game state is established when a predetermined condition is satisfied, and the special game state ends when another predetermined condition is satisfied.
[0002]
Since the special game state is advantageous to the player, once the special game state is entered, many prizes are generated and the amount of valuable media paid out to the player increases.
[0003]
This special game is generally roughly classified into a specific introduction game (BB game), a specific game (RB game), and a specific winning game (JAC game).
[0004]
The specific game (RB game) is performed alone during the specific introduction game (BB game) or when it is not during the specific introduction game (BB game). The specific winning game (JAC game) is performed during a specific game (RB game). Note that the special game is not limited to the specific introduction game (BB game), the specific game (RB game), and the specific winning game (JAC game).
[0005]
In a normal game, although not shown, for example, when three symbols such as “7” are aligned on the pay line, 15 medals are paid out via the hopper unit. At this time, the BB game is started. When the normal game is shifted to the BB game in this way, the BB game is started by inserting up to three game medals in the same manner as the normal game, and when the rotation of each of the three spinning reels is stopped by the stop switch, If the winning symbols are aligned on the pay line, the game medals will be paid out.
[0006]
During the BB game, a game with a higher probability of winning a small role than in the normal game is performed every time. However, when the symbols corresponding to the specific winning for shifting to the RB game during the BB game, for example, the replay symbols are aligned on the pay line, then the game shifts to the RB game (so-called replay shift occurs).
[0007]
Normally, during the BB game, the transition to the RB game is performed at a predetermined maximum number of times, for example, a maximum of three times. After the first RB game is completed, the small role as described above is again performed. A game with a high probability is performed.
[0008]
Then, in the BB game, the RB game is completed a predetermined maximum number of times, for example, three times, or the normal game during the BB game is performed a predetermined maximum number of times, for example, a maximum of 30 times, whereby the BB game ends. .
[0009]
On the other hand, when the game shifts to the RB game, one game medal is inserted, and when a predetermined symbol of the spinning reel is aligned with the center line (one winning line) of the symbol display window, a winning is achieved. Then, in the RB game, a specific winning game for determining whether or not to win can be performed up to 12 times, of which a maximum of 8 times can be won. That is, the RB game ends when a winning of up to eight times is determined or when a specific winning game of up to 12 times ends.
[0010]
The normal game state is disadvantageous for the player as compared with the special game, and the game is played at a payout ratio in a predetermined range lower than the special game state. If the player continues to play at the payout ratio, the amount of valuable media owned by the player used for the game is larger than the amount of valuable media paid out according to the game result. Decreases.
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The RB game, which is one of the special games of the conventional gaming machines, is given, for example, only a chance to win the RB game with a high probability for only 12 games after shifting to the RB game, Particularly, for a player unfamiliar with the game, the RB game may end without reaching the maximum number of possible prizes, in which case there is a problem that expected profits cannot be obtained. .

[0039]
FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the slot machine, which includes an input unit, a control unit 20, and an output unit.
[0040]
The input unit includes the above-described input switch 15, bet switch 16, settlement switch 17, start switch 30, and stop switch 50, and a signal input through each switch is sent to the control unit 20. Note that the configuration of the input unit is not limited to these switches.
[0041]
The output unit includes a reel unit 60 and a hopper unit. The parts connected to the output unit are not limited to these parts.
[0042]
The control unit 20 is installed inside the slot machine 10 and has a role of controlling the overall operation of the slot machine 10. The control unit 20 is mainly configured by a central processing unit (CPU), and includes a read only memory (ROM), a random access memory (RAM), an input / output (I / O) port, and the like. Then, the CPU controls the operation in the control unit by reading the program stored in the ROM.
[0043]
The control unit 20 includes a game control unit 21 and an effect control unit 22. The game control unit 21 is a device that controls the rotation and stop of the rotating reel 40 based on the operation of the start switch 30 and the stop switch 50, and the effect control unit 22 controls an effect device such as a lamp and a speaker and a display device. The device to control. Further, the number of CPUs that perform these controls is not limited to one, and these devices may be controlled by two or more CPUs.
[0044]
The game control unit 21 includes a normal game control unit 70, a specific game providing unit 80, a specific introduction game providing unit 90, a special game number determining unit 130, a special game providing unit 150, an operation order determining unit 160, An operation order comparison unit 170, a lottery unit 105, and a rotating reel stop control unit 180 are provided.
[0045]
The normal game control unit 70 controls the normal game in order to perform the normal game, and the lottery unit 105 performs a lottery of the winning combination.
[0046]
The specific game providing unit 80 and the specific introduction game providing unit 90 provide a specific game and a specific introduction game, respectively.
[0047]
The special game number determination unit 130 refers to the first special game number lottery table 130a or the second special game number lottery table 130b, or the third special game number lottery, based on the number of times the player has won in the specific game. The number of special games is determined with reference to the table 130c.
[0048]
When the number of times the special game is performed is determined by the special game number determining unit 130, the operation order determining unit 160 determines the pressing order of the stop switch, activates the effect control unit 22 to indicate the pressing order, and activates the liquid crystal display unit 120. And so on to notify the player.
[0049]
The operation order comparison unit 170 compares whether or not the player has operated the stop switch in the order of pressing determined by the operation order determination unit 160. If both match, the spinning reel stop control unit 180 performs stop control so that the symbol corresponding to the winning combination is aligned with the payout effective line so as to win (so-called pull-in control).
[0050]
The special game providing unit 150 provides a special game that gives a greater benefit to the player.
[0051]
The normal game control unit 70 is for causing a player to perform a normal game. That is, when the player operates the start switch 30 on the condition that a medal is inserted or the bet switch 16 is pressed, or when a predetermined time has elapsed since the previous game when the player wins the “Replay”, the reel unit The drive of 60 starts the rotation of the three rotating reels 40. Thereafter, when one of the three stop switches 50 is operated by the player, the rotation of the rotary reel 40 corresponding to the stop switch 50 stops.
[0052]
When all three stop switches 50 are operated by the player, all the rotations of the three reels 40 are stopped. At this time, when the preset symbol 61 stops on the winning effective line 67 of the symbol display window 13 at the center (this state is called winning), a predetermined number of medals are paid out via the hopper unit.
[0053]
The winning role includes a small role winning that gives the player a profit (hereinafter referred to as a normal small role winning), a special winning that gives the player a greater profit than the small role winning, and a payout of the game medal. Although there is no such game, there is a replay winning (Replay, hereinafter referred to as a replay winning) in which the player can play the game again without newly inserting a game medal. Then, when the lottery result is one of the winnings, a winning flag corresponding to the winning is established. When the lottery result is a special winning, a special winning flag is established. During the establishment of the special winning flag, the combination of symbols for stopping the rotating reel 40 of the reel unit 60 is changed to a symbol corresponding to a predetermined special winning (for example, three “7” s are arranged on a pay line). ), And the player is notified of the prize by the liquid crystal display unit 120 or the like. The player can play a special game by winning. Then, when the special winning flag is established by the lottery, but the combination of the stopped symbols of the rotating reel 40 does not match the symbol corresponding to the special winning, it is set so that the internal flag of the winning combination can be carried over. .
[0054]
Whether any of the symbols corresponding to the winning combination can be aligned on the pay line while any one of the winning flags is established, depends on whether the rotation speed of the rotating reel 40 is constant or not. Depends on the timing of the operation. Specifically, after the stop switch 50 is operated, the rotation reel 40 is set to stop within 190 ms. Therefore, after the stop switch 50 is operated, the rotation reel 40 can be stopped as it is or can be stopped within 190 ms. In the case where a corresponding symbol is included in the retractable symbols 61 on the circumference of the rotating reel 40, for example, four consecutive retractable symbols 61 from the stop symbol, the time until the stop is determined. After a delay, the rotating reel 40 draws the symbol 61 on the pay line and stops. On the other hand, when the corresponding symbol is not included in the three drawable symbols 61, the symbol cannot be drawn on the pay line and stopped.
[0055]
Further, there is a method of determining a stop position of the rotating reel 40 according to a predetermined stop control table at a timing when the stop switch 50 is pressed. Also in this case, when the winning flag is established, the stop position is previously determined on the table so that the symbols 61 corresponding to the winning flag are aligned on the pay line. This is also a kind of pull-in setting.
[0056]
As described above, the special games are roughly classified into a specific introduction game (BB game), a specific game (RB game), and a specific winning game (JAC game).
[0057]
The specific game (RB game) is performed alone during the specific introduction game (BB game) or when not in the second specific introduction game (BB game). The specific winning game (JAC game) is performed during a specific game (RB game).
[0058]
In the normal game, although not shown, for example, when three symbols 61 such as “7” are aligned on the pay line, 15 medals are paid out via the hopper unit. At this time, the BB game is started.
[0059]
The specific introduction game providing unit 90 is for controlling the BB game. Specifically, when the normal game is shifted to the second BB game, up to three game medals are provided in the same manner as the normal game. When the BB game is started by the insertion and when the rotation of each of the three rotating reels 40 is stopped by the stop switch 50, the payout of the game medal depends on whether or not the symbols corresponding to the winning combination are on the pay line. It has the role of controlling it to do so. During the BB game, a game with a small combination probability higher than that in the normal game is performed every time. However, if the symbols corresponding to the specific winning for shifting to the RB game during the BB game are aligned on the pay line, then the process shifts to the RB game.
[0060]
Normally, the transition to the RB game during the BB game is supposed to be performed a predetermined maximum number of times, for example, a maximum of three times, and after the first RB game is completed, the small role as described above is again performed. A game with a high probability is performed.
[0061]
Then, in the BB game, the RB game is completed a predetermined maximum number of times, for example, three times, or the normal game during the BB game is performed a predetermined maximum number of times, for example, a maximum of 30 times, whereby the BB game ends. .
[0062]
The specific game control unit 80 is for controlling the RB game. Specifically, when the game shifts to the RB game, when one game medal is inserted and the predetermined symbol 61 of the rotating reel 40 is aligned on the center line 67c of the symbol display window 13, the winning is determined and a prize is won. . The number of winnings during this one RB game is stored in the winning number storage unit 801.
[0063]
Hereinafter, one embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.
[0064]
As shown in FIG. 3, first, the winning combination lottery unit 110 of the lottery unit 105 executes a winning combination lottery by the normal game control unit 70 (S301). If the result of the lottery is that the specific game (RB game) has been won, the specific game providing section 80 provides a specific game in which a predetermined number of game sections, for example, a maximum of 9 games can be easily won. In addition, as a result of the winning combination lottery, if the specific introduction game (BB game) has been won, the specific introduction game providing unit 90 provides a game section in which a predetermined game section is easy to win (S309). If not, the process proceeds to a normal process (S310).
[0065]
If a specific prize is won in the specific game section, the prize count storage unit 801 stores the prize count in the first and second special game count lottery tables 130a and 130a shown in FIGS. It is stored in the “Number of Wins During One RB Game” column of 130b (S304). Further, with the winning, the specific game providing unit 80 pays out medals (S305). After the payout or when a prize cannot be won, it is determined whether or not a predetermined number of games have been consumed, that is, whether or not the section of the specific game has ended (S306). If not, the winning combination lottery is executed (S307). ), And return to S303.
[0066]
When the specific game is over, the special game number determination unit 130 refers to the first special game number lottery table 130a shown in FIG. 6A or the second special game number lottery table 130b shown in FIG. 6B. To determine the number of special games.
[0067]
Here, the special game is also referred to as an assist game, which informs a player of a state currently being won inside the gaming machine in some form, or includes a concept of all hints, so that the player can easily win a prize. Is to assist. For example, a mode in which a symbol corresponding to a winning combination that has been won is notified to a player through a liquid crystal screen or the like of a gaming machine in a predetermined mode corresponds to this. Alternatively, the player may be notified of the order in which the stop switches are pressed, and if the player operates the stop switches according to the order, the symbols may be drawn into the pay line and a winning may be achieved.
[0068]
The number-of-special-games determination unit 130 determines the number of special games provided after the end of the specific game according to the number of times a player has won a prize during the specific game.
[0069]
As one method of determining the number of special games, as the number of winnings increases as in the first special game number lottery table 130a shown in FIG. 6A, the number of determined special games increases. In some cases, the number of special games is determined so as to have a positive correlation with the number of winnings.
[0070]
As a result, as the number of wins in the specific game increases, the number of special games provided after the specific game increases, so that the player can obtain many profits and the interest of the game increases.
[0071]
As another method of determining the number of special games, as shown in the first special game number lottery table 130a shown in FIG. 6B, the smaller the number of winnings, the larger the number of determined special games, ie, the number of winnings. In some cases, the number of special games is determined so as to have a negative correlation with the number of times.
[0072]
As a result, even a player who could not win a lot in a specific game can get a lot of profits in the special game provided at the end of the specific game, and the player can keep his / her expectation even after the end of the specific game. It is possible to hug and increase the interest of the game. Further, the payout number of medals can be made constant throughout the game.
[0073]
Next, the operation after the transition from the specific game to the special game will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
[0074]
When the number of special games is determined by the special game determination unit 130, the special game is provided by the special game providing unit 150. First, after the player operates the start switch, the operation order determination unit 160 determines the pressing order (operation order) of the stop switch (S401), and the effect control unit 22 notifies the player of the order (S402). . The operation order comparison unit 170 determines whether or not the player has performed the operation according to the operation order determination unit 160. If the pressing orders match, the spinning reel stop control unit 180 performs pull-in control, and the corresponding winning is performed. The role is awarded, and the medal is refunded (S404, S406). If they do not match, so-called kicking control is performed and no prize is won (S405). Next, the special game providing unit 150 determines whether or not the determined number of special games has been exhausted (S407). If the special game has not been exhausted, the process returns to S401, and if it has been exhausted, the process returns to the normal game (408).
[0075]
As described above, since the opportunity to perform a special game is provided according to the number of winnings even after the end of the specific game, the interest of the game is increased.
[0076]
Next, the operation after the specific introduction game winning is described based on the flowchart of FIG.
[0077]
When the specific introduction game is won, the specific introduction game providing unit 90 determines whether or not the internally won winning combination has been won as in the case of the normal specific introduction game (S501). If a prize has been won, a medal is paid out (S502). Thereafter, or if no prize can be won, it is determined whether or not the specific introduction game has ended based on the above conditions (S503). If not, a winning combination lottery is executed (S504), and the process returns to S501. If the end condition is satisfied, the special game number determination unit 130 determines the special game number with reference to a third special game number lottery table 130c as shown in FIG. 5C.
[0078]
As shown in the third special game number lottery table 130c in FIG. 5C, the special game number is determined with a predetermined probability. The timing at which the number of special games is determined is not limited to after the end of the specific introduction game, and may be, for example, when a specific game is won during the specific introduction game. When a game is won, the number of special games determined each time may be added.
[0079]
As described above, even after the end of the specific introduction game, a special game that provides a great profit to the player with a predetermined probability is provided, so that the player can enjoy the game with further expectation.
[0080]
Next, the operation after the transition from the specific introduction game to the special game will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
