Description

  The present invention relates to a pachislot machine including game result display means for displaying a game result and control means such as a microcomputer for controlling the display, and other game machines.

  The pachislot machine has a mechanical fluctuation display device configured by arranging a plurality of rotating reels that fluctuate and display a plurality of symbols in a front display window. In response to the player's start operation, the control means drives and controls the variable display device to rotate each reel so that the symbols are displayed in a variable manner, and each reel is rotated automatically or by a player's stop operation. Stop. At this time, a profit is given to the player by paying out a game medium such as a medal or a coin when the symbols of the reels displayed in the display window are in a specific combination (winning mode).

  Currently, the mainstream model has a plurality of types of winning modes. In particular, when a winning combination is won, the game state is better in condition than the normal state for a predetermined period of time, without finishing paying out a single medal. As such a combination, a combination that can play a game that gives a relatively large profit to a player a predetermined number of times (referred to as a big bonus, hereinafter referred to as BB), and a game that gives a relatively small profit to the player Can be performed a predetermined number of times (referred to as a regular bonus, hereinafter referred to as RB). Hereinafter, BB and RB are collectively referred to as a bonus.

  Also, in the current mainstream models, in order to win a role in which medals, coins, etc. are paid out along with a predetermined combination of symbols along an activated pay line (hereinafter referred to as an active line) The winning combination of the winning combination (hereinafter referred to as the internal winning combination) and the winning combination of the winning combination (hereinafter referred to as the internal winning combination) can be stopped at the effective line by a typical lottery process (hereinafter referred to as a lottery). A player is required to perform a stop operation. In other words, no matter how much you win, if the timing of the player's stop operation is bad, you cannot win the winning combination. That is, gaming machines that require a technique for performing a stop operation in a timely manner (having a high specific gravity of technical intervention called “to push”) are currently mainstream.

  In addition, for the purpose of preventing game media that can be used (can be thrown in) per unit time from exceeding a predetermined value, it becomes possible to play the next game without betting game media when winning a prize. A gaming machine provided with (hereinafter referred to as re-game) is the current mainstream. A gaming machine having a function of generating a state with a high probability of winning the re-game (hereinafter referred to as a high-probability re-game state or FT) is provided.

Further, the number of times the bonus was won is subtracted from the number of times the bonus was won, and the bonus winning for that number can be realized (see, for example, Patent Document 1). Alternatively, a gaming machine is provided in which priority is given to kick-off control or priority role pull-in control, so that a bonus is not won until the FT is completed.

  There is a demand for a gaming machine having a variety of presentation effects and gaming characteristics over conventional gaming machines, and an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine having a variety of presentation effects and gaming characteristics.

  More specifically, the present invention provides the following.

  (1) Game start command means for instructing the start of a unit game based on the result of the operation by the player (for example, a start switch 6S described later, a means for determining step S8 in FIG. 21 described later, a main control circuit 71 described later) And a winning combination determining means (for example, an internal winning combination, a carryover combination, a winning combination for stop, etc., which will be described later) based on the input of the game start command signal (for example, 21 (to be described later, step S13 in FIG. 21, step S41 in FIG. 23, step S76 in FIG. 26, main control circuit 71 to be described later) and the winning combination is a predetermined winning combination. Winning display control means (for example, a specific symbol stop mode) is displayed on a winning display means (for example, display windows 4L, 4C, 4R, reels 3L, 3C, 3R described later). For example, the means for performing steps S23 and S24 in FIG. 22 to be described later, a main control circuit 71 to be described later) and the winning display is based on the fact that the winning combination is a specific combination (for example, BB to be described later). The control means displays a specific winning mode on the winning display means (for example, “red 7-red 7” along the activated winning line of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R described later in the general gaming state or the internal winning state described later. -Advantageous state generating means for generating an advantageous state (for example, BB gaming state) advantageous to the player when red 7 "or" blue 7-blue 7-blue 7 "is lined up) When the winning combination is the specific combination, the winning display control unit stops and displays the specific winning mode when the winning combination is the specific combination. Can When the winning combination is the specific combination from a first probability state where the effective probability is the first probability (for example, a high probability replay state (FT) described later), the winning display control means A predetermined transition condition for a second probability state (for example, a normal probability re-playing state described later) in which the probability that the specific winning mode can be stopped and displayed is a second probability higher than the first probability. State transition means (for example, means for performing step S68 in FIG. 25 described later, main control described later) for shifting the probability state on the condition that a ceiling counter (described later, for example, becomes “0”) is satisfied. Circuit 71, etc.) and a special combination (for example, replay to be described later) are determined as the winning combination, and a special winning mode (for example, a chance item in FIG. 13 to be described later) is determined by the winning display control unit on the winning display unit. Stop by stop table If it is permitted to stop display (for example, a chance chance to be controlled) (for example, in the case of a high probability replaying state (FT)), the chance is based on the chance lottery (stop winning role switching) table of FIG. The first transition from the first transition condition (for example, the FT end lottery state described later is “0”) in which the probability of being satisfied is a predetermined probability. Transition condition changing means (for example, step S103 in FIG. 27 described later) changes the transition condition to a second transition condition (for example, FT end lottery state described later is “1”) that has a higher probability of being satisfied than the condition. And a main control circuit 71 to be described later).

  (2) In the gaming machine described in (1), when the special combination is determined as the winning combination by the winning combination determining means, a first winning mode (for example, a game value is given to the player) , A replay described later), a second winning mode in which a player is not given a gaming value (for example, a later-described loss), and the special winning mode (for example, a chance to be described later). Winning mode determining means (for example, means for performing steps S13 and S15 in FIG. 21 described later, a main control circuit described later) for determining whether to allow the winning display means to display the winning mode on the winning display means. 71) and the first transition condition (for example, FT end lottery state to be described later is “0”) to the second transition condition (for example, FT end lottery state to be described later is “1”). Transition condition change Data generating means for generating condition change determination data for determining whether or not to change by means (for example, means for performing step S67 in FIG. 25 described later, step S103 in FIG. 27, main control circuit 71 described later, etc.) ) And the condition change determination data generated by the data generation means when the winning mode determination means permits the special display mode to be displayed on the winning display means by the winning display control means. Based on the value, condition change determining means for determining whether or not the transition condition changing means is to change the transition condition from the first transition condition to the second transition condition (for example, step S67 in FIG. A gaming machine comprising: means for performing step S103 in FIG.

  (3) Game result display means for displaying game results (for example, display windows 4L, 4C, 4R described later, reels 3L, 3C, 3R, etc.) and game results specific to the game result display means (for example, described later) Advantageous state generating means (for example, FIG. 22 described later) for generating an advantageous state (for example, BB gaming state or RB gaming state) advantageous to the player when a bonus stop pattern is displayed. And a first state (for example, a high-probability re-gaming state (to be described later) having a low probability of displaying a specific game result (for example, BB or RB to be described later)). FT)) and a second state that has a high probability of displaying a specific game result (for example, a normal probability re-gaming state described later), and is permitted to display a special game result When To the change of the conditions for shifting from the second state to the first state (e.g., means for performing the step S43 of FIG. 23 described later, such as the main control circuit 71 will be described later) game machine, characterized in that.

  According to the present invention, a variety of novelty that can give a sense of expectation by notifying that there is a possibility that an advantageous state advantageous to the player may be generated in connection with the player's game operation. High performance effects and playability can be provided.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an appearance of a gaming machine 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The gaming machine 1 is a so-called pachislot machine. The gaming machine 1 is a gaming machine that uses a game medium such as a card that stores information on game value given to or given to a player in addition to coins, medals, game balls, tokens, and the like. However, in the following description, medals are used.

  A panel display portion 2a as a substantially vertical surface is formed on the front surface of the cabinet 2 forming the entire gaming machine 1, and vertically long display windows 4L, 4C, 4R are provided at the center thereof. The display windows 4L, 4C and 4R are provided with a top line 8b, a center line 8c and a bottom line 8d in the horizontal direction as winning lines, and a cross-up line 8a and a cross-down line 8e in the diagonal direction. These winning lines are respectively operated by operating a 1-BET switch 11, a 2-BET switch 12, and a maximum BET switch 13, which will be described later, or by inserting medals into the medal slot 22, respectively. The book is activated. Which winning line is activated is displayed by turning on BET lamps 9a, 9b, and 9c, which will be described later.

  Here, the winning lines 8a to 8e relate to success / failure of the winning combination. Specifically, one symbol (for example, “cherry (symbol 97)” described later)) corresponding to a predetermined combination (for example, a small cherry small role described later) corresponds to a predetermined position (for example, “cherry (pattern 97)” described later). If the number of BETs to be described later is “3”, the symbol is stopped and displayed at the middle position in the left display window 4L), or the symbol constituting the symbol combination corresponding to the predetermined combination is activated. A predetermined winning combination is won by stopping and displaying in a predetermined position corresponding to the winning line.

  Inside the cabinet 2, three reels 3L, 3C, 3R each having a symbol row constituted by a plurality of types of symbols on each outer peripheral surface are rotatably provided in a horizontal row to form a variable display means. doing. The design of each reel can be observed through the display windows 4L, 4C, 4R. Each reel rotates at a constant speed (for example, 80 rpm).

  On the left side of the display windows 4L, 4C, 4R, a 1-BET lamp 9a, a 2-BET lamp 9b, a maximum BET lamp 9c, and an information display unit 18 are provided. The 1-BET lamp 9a, the 2-BET lamp 9b, and the maximum BET lamp 9c are turned on according to the number of medals betted to play one game (hereinafter referred to as “BET number”). Here, in this embodiment, one game ends when all reels stop. The 1-BET lamp 9a is turned on when the BET number is “1” and one winning line is activated. The 2-BET lamp 9b is lit when the BET number is “2” and three pay lines are activated. The maximum BET lamp 9c is turned on when the number of BETs is “3” and all (5) winning lines are activated. The information display unit 18 is composed of 7 segment LEDs, and displays the number of medals stored (credited), the number of medals paid out at the time of winning a prize, the number of games in the BB general gaming state described later, and the like.

  A horizontal pedestal 10 is formed below the display windows 4L, 4C, 4R, and a liquid crystal display device 5 is provided between the pedestal 10 and the display windows 4L, 4C, 4R. On the display screen 5a of the liquid crystal display device 5, information related to the game is displayed. A medal slot 22 is provided on the right side of the liquid crystal display device 5, and a 1-BET switch 11, a 2-BET switch 12, and a maximum BET switch 13 are provided on the left side of the liquid crystal display device 5. The 1-BET switch 11 bets one of the credited medals on the game by a single pressing operation, and the 2-BET switch 12 displays the credited medals by a single pressing operation. Two of them are bet on the game, and the maximum BET switch 13 bets the maximum number of medals that can be bet on one game. By operating these BET switches, a predetermined pay line is activated as described above.

  A C / P switch 14 is provided on the left side of the front portion of the pedestal 10 to switch the credit / payout of medals acquired by the player in the game by a push button operation. By switching the C / P switch 14, medals are paid out from the medal payout opening 15 at the lower front, and the paid-out medals are stored in the medal receiving portion 16. On the right side of the C / P switch 14, the reel is rotated by the player's operation, and the start lever 6 for starting the display of the variation of the symbols in the display windows 4L, 4C, 4R is rotated within a predetermined angle range. It is attached movably. Three stop buttons (stop operation means) 7L, 7C for stopping the rotation of the three reels 3L, 3C, 3R at the center of the front surface of the pedestal 10 and below the liquid crystal display device 5, respectively. 7R is provided. Speakers 21 </ b> L and 21 </ b> R are provided on the left and right above the medal receiving portion 16. In the embodiment, one game basically starts when the start lever 6 is operated, and ends when all the reels 3L, 3C, 3R are stopped. Here, the stop buttons 7L, 7C, and 7R are displays provided at positions where the player can operate to output a stop command signal for stopping the variable display of part or all of the game result display means or the winning display means. It constitutes stop command means.

  FIG. 2 shows a symbol row in which 21 types of symbols represented on each reel 3L, 3C, 3R are arranged. Each symbol is assigned a code number “00” to “20”, and is stored (stored) in a ROM 32 (FIG. 19) described later as a data table. On each of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R, “red 7 (design 91)”, “blue 7 (design 92)”, “BAR (design 93)”, “bell (design 94)”, “watermelon (design 95) ) ”,“ Replay (symbol 96) ”, and“ cherry (symbol 97) ”. Each reel 3L, 3C, 3R is rotationally driven so that the symbol row moves in the direction of the arrow in FIG.

  FIG. 3 shows the winning combinations and the number of payouts corresponding to winning symbol combinations in each gaming state.

  The gaming state of the embodiment includes a general gaming state, a normal probability replaying BB internal winning state, a normal probability replaying RB internal winning state, a high probability replaying BB internal winning state, and a high probability replaying RB internal winning state. State, BB general gaming state, and RB gaming state. Each of these “seven types” of game states basically includes the types of roles that may be won internally, the probability of winning internally for replays described later, and BB, RB (hereinafter referred to as winnings). These are collectively referred to as a bonus).

  About the characteristics of each gaming state, that is, the type of the winning combination in each gaming state, the probability thereof, and the stop control mode of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R in each gaming state (such as the types of winning combinations that may win) This will be described later with reference to FIGS. Further, the transition between the game states is performed by a game state monitoring process (FIG. 24) described later. As will be described later (FIG. 5), each gaming state has a common point that the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R are controlled to stop the bonus winning in the game in which the bonus is won internally.

  In the embodiment, after the bonus is won internally, the bonus is held as an internal winning combination until the bonus is won (generally referred to as carryover). Further, even when the bonus is carried over, the bonus is won internally. If a bonus is won internally for multiple times without winning a prize, the number of bonuses is counted (stored) for each type of bonus, and bonus winnings corresponding to that number can be realized (bonus stock). The number of times that BB winning can be realized (the number of BB carried over) is hereinafter referred to as “BB carry-over number”. The number of times that RB winning can be realized (the number of RBs carried over) is hereinafter referred to as “RB carryover number”. The sum of the BB carryover number and the RB carryover number is hereinafter referred to as “bonus carryover number”. In addition, among the bonuses carried forward, the winning combination that is allowed to win first (the winning combination that can be a winning winning combination to be described later) is hereinafter referred to as a “carrying winning combination”.

  Here, the gaming state that is generated by the winning of the BB and is configured by the BB general gaming state and the RB gaming state is collectively referred to as “BB gaming state” hereinafter. In addition, the BB internal winning state during normal probability replay, the RB internal winning state during normal probability replay, the BB internal winning state during high probability replaying, and the RB internal winning state during high probability replaying are internally won for bonuses. This is a state (a carry-over state), and these are collectively referred to as an “internal winning state” hereinafter.

  The BB internal winning state during high-probability replaying and the RB internal winning state during high-probability replaying are states in which there is a high probability of internal winning for replays to be described later. These are collectively referred to below as “high probability replaying”. (High probability replay period). In addition, the general gaming state, the BB internal winning state during normal probability replaying, and the RB internal winning state during normal probability replaying are normal states with the probability of internal winning for replay described later. It is called “Normal probability replaying”.

  By shifting from the high probability replaying to the normal probability replaying, the player can realize the winning combination of the carryover combination (acceptance of the carryover combination is allowed). Here, whether the high probability replay or the normal probability replay is being determined is determined based on the FT flag. When the FT flag is “on”, high probability replay is in progress, and when it is “off”, normal probability replay is in progress. The FT flag is information stored in a RAM 33 (FIG. 19) described later. The general gaming state is basically a gaming state in which the bonus carryover number is “0”.

  The occurrence condition during the high probability replay, that is, the condition that the FT flag is “ON” is that there is a carryover combination at the end of the BB gaming state or the RB gaming state (determination in step S42 in FIG. "), Or to win the bonus internally in the general gaming state.

  The following four conditions (1) to (4) are included in the end condition during high probability replay (transition condition for normal probability replay), that is, the condition in which the FT flag is “off”. is there.

  (1) The value of an FT extension counter, which will be described later, becomes “0” when a winning lottery in a high-probability re-game according to the FT end lottery state described later with reference to FIG. 14 is won. The determination in step S70 of FIG. 25 described later is “YES”). This end lottery is performed when the internal winning combination is a replay.

  (2) The value of a later-described ceiling counter becomes “0” by continuously playing “1500 times” during the high-probability replay (the determination in step S66 in FIG. 25 is “YES”). ).

  (3) The internal winning combination is lost (none) (determination in step S91 in FIG. 27 described later is “YES”).

  (4) At the end of the RB gaming state (the determination in step S39 in FIG. 23 described later is “YES”), the determination in step S64 in FIG. 25 described later is triggered by the initial value (1500) not being set in the ceiling counter. Be “YES”.

  Here, in the FT end lottery state, there are “four types” of the FT end lottery state 0 to the FT end lottery state 3, and the probabilities of winning the end lottery during the high-probability regame are different (FIG. 14 to be described later). . In this FT end lottery state, a ceiling counter, which will be described later, is updated to “0” (when the determination in step S66 in FIG. 25 described later is “YES”), and an end lottery during high-probability replay (described later) There is a case where it is updated when step S96 in FIG. 27 is performed (step S67 in FIG. 25 described later, step S103 in FIG. 27).

  The FT extension counter wins the end lottery during the high probability replay, and counts the number of games to be extended during the high probability replay when the transition to the normal probability replay is confirmed (FIG. 25 described later). Step S69). The initial value set in the FT extension counter is determined using a table shown in FIG. In addition, when “1” is set as the initial value and a winning combination for a stop to be described later is a chance, a winning combination for a stop to be described later is changed to a release confirmation (step S101 in FIG. 27 described later). ). If it is changed to the release confirmation, “bell” is stopped and displayed on the upper stage of the left display window 4L, the lower stage of the center display window 4C, and the upper stage of the right display window 4R. From the viewpoint of the player, the end (release) of the high-probability re-game is confirmed by the stop mode of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R indicating the release confirmation (the stop mode of the symbols in the display window), and the next game It can be understood that the gaming state shifts to the normal probability re-gaming. In addition, when the value of the FT extension counter is “1 or more”, it is possible to increase the interest of the game by performing an effect informing the player that it is almost time to shift to the normal probability replay.

  The ceiling counter counts the number of games played continuously during the high probability replay. Specifically, at the end of the BB gaming state, a specific number of times (for example, “1500”) is set in the ceiling counter (step S38 in FIG. 23 described later). The value of the ceiling counter is updated as the game progresses (step S65 in FIG. 25 described later). Here, at the end of the RB gaming state, the specific number of times is not set in the ceiling counter.

  As shown in FIG. 3, BB winning is realized by arranging “blue 7-blue 7-blue 7” or “red 7-red 7-red 7” along the active line in the internal winning state. After BB wins, the gaming state becomes the BB general gaming state. RB winning is realized by arranging “BAR-BAR-BAR” along the active line in the internal winning state, or arranging “Replay-Replay-Replay” in the BB general gaming state. The RB winning in the BB general gaming state is generally referred to as JAC IN. After the RB wins, the gaming state becomes the RB gaming state. The BB gaming state is an advantageous gaming state compared to the RB gaming state.

  Here, regardless of the game state, bonuses (except for JAC IN) are not won in games that are won internally. Further, when the bonus is internally won in the general gaming state (when the determination in step S83 in FIG. 26 described later is “NO”), the game shifts to another gaming state in the next game. Therefore, no bonus is won in the general gaming state.

  Replay winning is realized by arranging “Replay-Replay-Replay” in the general gaming state and the internal winning state. When a re-game is won, the same number of medals as the number of medals inserted are automatically inserted (the player is given game value), so that the player can play the next game without consuming medals. . Here, during high-probability replay, when a replay is won internally, the player's stop operation (operation timing of the stop buttons 7L, 7C, 7R, or operation sequence (stop sequence) with a probability of "108/128") The reel stop control (generally referred to as kick-off control) that does not win the replay regardless of the above is performed. By this stop control, the probability that the replay during the high probability replay and the replay during the normal probability replay is made substantially equal (substantially the same).

  In addition, in the general gaming state, the internal winning state, and the BB general gaming state, it is possible to realize the winning of the medium cherry small part, the corner cherry small part, the bell small part, and the watermelon small part, The number of payouts is as shown in the figure. The winning of the small cherry role is realized by “cherry” being stopped and displayed in the middle of the left display window 4L. In addition, the winning of the small cherry corner is realized by “cherry” being stopped and displayed on the upper or lower stage.

  The winning of a JAC small role (actual item) is realized by arranging “Replay-Replay-Replay” in the RB gaming state. When the number of winnings of the JAC small role becomes “8”, the gaming state changes. Here, a game in an RB gaming state in which a winning of a JAC small role may be realized is generally referred to as a JAC game.

  Next, FIG. 4 shows a probability lottery table used when the internal winning combination is determined in the general gaming state or the internal winning state (FIG. 26 described later) when the BET number is “3”.

  FIG. 4A shows a probability lottery table for normal probability replaying. In the probability lottery table shown in FIG. 4 (1), replay is performed when random numbers in the range of “113” to “2356” are extracted from the random number extraction ranges “0” to “16383” in the probability lottery process. Will be an internal winner. The probability of winning internally for replay is “2244/16384”.

  FIG. 4 (2) shows a probability lottery table for high probability replay. In the probability lottery table shown in FIG. 4 (2), when a random number within the range of “113” to “14327” is extracted from the random number extraction range “0” to “16383” in the probability lottery process, Will be an internal winner. The probability of winning internally for replay is “14215/16384”.

  As described above, during high-probability replay, the probability of internal winning for replay is higher than during normal probability replay. In the tables shown in FIGS. 4 (1) and 4 (2), the probability of winning internally is the same except for replays and loses (none). For example, the probability of internally winning the bonus (probability of internally winning either BB or RB) is “113/16384” in any probability lottery table.

  Next, the winning combination selection table for stop will be described with reference to FIG.

  In the stop winning combination selection table, a lottery value for winning each stop winning combination is shown for each internal winning combination (carry-over combination) and gaming state. The winning combination for stop is information used for stop control of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R. When the winning combination for stop is determined, the reels 3L, 3C, 3R are controlled to stop so that the stop mode of the symbol corresponding to the combination is displayed in the display windows 4L, 4C, 4R. As shown in FIG. 7 described later, each stop winning combination is associated with a stop table group described later. Moreover, the stop mode of the symbols in the display windows 4L, 4C, 4R corresponding to each winning combination for stop will be described later with reference to FIGS.

  The lottery value is a value to be subtracted from the extracted random number value. When the lottery value is subtracted from the random value and the subtracted value is negative, information corresponding to the lottery value (stop winning combination) is selected. The extraction range of random numbers is “0” to “127”. For example, in the case where the internal winning combination is a replay in the high probability replay of FIG. 5 (1), when the extracted random number value is “30”, first, from this “30”, it corresponds to the winning winning combination replay for the stop. The lottery value “20” to be subtracted is subtracted. The subtracted value is “10” (a positive value). Next, the lottery value “108” corresponding to the winning combination for stoppage is subtracted from “10”. The subtracted value is negative. Therefore, when the random value is “30”, the loss is selected as the winning combination for stopping.

  As will be described later with reference to FIG. 6, during a high-probability re-game, when a re-game is won internally, and a loss is selected as a stop-winning winning combination, the winning winning combination is switched to a chance. Whether or not (whether or not to update) is drawn. Opportunities are basically the stop mode of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R indicating that the player may be able to acquire some profit, or the stop winning combination in which such a stop mode is displayed in a stopped state. is there.

  In the embodiment, a symbol stop mode in which “bell” is stopped and displayed on the upper stage of the left display window 4L, the middle stage of the center display window 4C, and the upper stage of the right display window 4R is adopted as a chance. Further, as will be described later with reference to FIG. 14, in the situation where the re-game is won internally, the probability of winning the end lottery during the high-probability re-game when the winning combination for stopping is a chance is It is configured to be higher than that in the case where the winning combination is lost. From the viewpoint of the player, when the chance is stopped and displayed, great expectation can be given to the end of the high probability re-game.

  The table shown in FIG. 5A is used for determining the winning combination for stoppage based on the internal winning combination and the gaming state when the internal winning combination is other than “losing” (none).

  When the internal winning combination is a bonus or small combination, the same winning combination for stopping as the internal winning combination is selected. When the internal winning combination is a replay, a replay is always selected as a stop winning combination during a normal probability replay, and a replay or a loss (chance) is selected during a high probability replay.

  The table shown in FIG. 5 (2) is used to determine the winning combination for stopping based on the carryover combination and the gaming state when the internal winning combination is lost (none).

  When the carryover combination is BB, BB is always selected as the winning combination for stop during the normal probability replay, and lose is always selected during the high probability replay. When the carryover combination is RB, RB is always selected as the winning combination for stop during normal probability replay, and lose is always selected during high probability replay. When there is no carryover combination, that is, in the case of the general gaming state included in the normal probability replay, the loss is always selected.

  In FIGS. 5 (1) and 5 (2), the bonus is not selected as a winning combination for stop during the high probability replay. Therefore, during the high probability replay (first probability state), the probability (first probability) that the symbol stop mode in the display windows 4L, 4C, 4R showing the bonus winning can be stopped and displayed is as follows. “0”. On the other hand, during the normal probability replay (when the carryover combination is a bonus), the bonus is selected as the winning combination for the stop when the internal winning combination is lost. The probability of an internal winning combination being lost is “11972/16384” (FIG. 4 (1)). Therefore, during the normal probability replay (second probability state), the probability (second probability) that the symbol stop mode in the display windows 4L, 4C, 4R indicating the bonus winning can be stopped and displayed is as follows: “11972/16384”, which is higher than the first probability. The probability is based on the premise that the player has made an appropriate push.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 7, the relationship between the gaming state, the winning combination for stop, and the stop table group to be selected will be described. The stop table group represents a set of stop tables which will be described later with reference to FIGS. 8 to 13 and is selected during stop control of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R.

  When a stop table group that cannot win a prize is selected, no winning of any combination is realized regardless of the winning combination for stopping and the gaming state. When the winning possible stop table group is selected, a winning combination corresponding to the winning combination is possible, but it is basically impossible to realize winnings of other winning combinations. For example, if a re-game winning stop table group is selected, a re-game winning can be realized, but other winning combinations cannot be realized.

  During high-probability re-games, there are cases where a release confirmed stop table group and a chance stop table group are selected.

  In the normal probability replaying BB internal winning state, when the winning combination for stopping is BB, the BB winning stop table group is selected, so that BB winning can be realized. That is, BB winning is permitted (permitted) and the BB internal winning state during normal probability replaying is included in the advantageous state.

  In the normal probability replaying RB internal winning state, when the winning combination for stopping is RB, the RB winning stop table group is selected, so that RB winning can be realized. That is, RB winning is permitted (permitted), and the RB internal winning state during normal probability replay is included in the advantageous state.

  In the high probability replaying BB internal winning state and the high probability replaying RB internal winning state, BB or RB is not selected as a winning combination for stopping, and a bonus winning cannot be realized.

  Next, the stop table will be described with reference to FIGS.

  The stop table shows stop operation positions and stop control positions of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R. The stop operation position is the symbol (specifically, the symbol of the symbol) that is located on the bottom line 8d when the stop buttons 7L, 7C, and 7R provided corresponding to the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R are operated.

  Next, the FT end lottery table will be described with reference to FIG.

  In the FT end lottery table, lottery values for determining whether or not to shift to the normal probability replay for each FT end lottery state are shown. This lottery value is to be compared with the size of the random value extracted from the range of “0” to “16383”. When the extracted random number value is smaller than the lottery value, the end of the high probability replay is won and basically the high probability replay is ended. Otherwise, high probability replaying continues. This table is used when an internal win is made for replaying during high probability replaying (step S96 in FIG. 27 described later).

  FIG. 14 (1) shows the FT end lottery table A used when the winning combination for stopping is lost. The probability of winning the end lottery during the high probability replay is highest in the FT end lottery state 2 and the FT end lottery state 3. On the other hand, in the FT end lottery state 0 and the FT end lottery state 1, the probability of winning the end lottery is the same.

  FIG. 14B shows the FT end lottery table B used when the winning combination for stoppage is a chance. The probability of winning the end lottery during the high probability replay is highest in the FT end lottery state 2 and the FT end lottery state 3. On the other hand, the FT end lottery state 1 has a higher probability of winning the end lottery than the FT end lottery state 0.

  As described above, the degree of the player's advantage based on the probability of winning the end lottery is the highest in the FT end lottery state 2 and the FT end lottery state 3, and the FT end lottery state 0 is the lowest. In addition, when the end lottery is performed using the FT end lottery table B (in the case of a chance), the probability of winning the end lottery is compared with the probability when the FT end lottery table A is used (in the case of a loss). high.

  Next, the FT mode transition number selection table will be described with reference to FIG.

  In the FT mode transition number selection table, a transition number is shown corresponding to the FT end lottery state. The transition number is information used to select a transition destination FT end lottery state, as will be described later with reference to FIG. Specifically, the probability of shifting to each FT end lottery state is predetermined according to the selection number. This table is used in step S67 of FIG. 25 described later or step S103 of FIG.

  FIG. 15 (1) shows an FT mode transition number selection table A for a lost internal winning game. The lost internal winning game is a game in which a winning is won internally during the high probability replay.

  FIG. 15B shows an FT mode transition number selection table B for the FT end game. The FT end game is basically a game in which “1” is set as the initial value of the FT extension counter (a game in which the determination in step S99 in FIG. 27 described later is “YES”). In this game, when the winning combination for stoppage is a chance, the winning combination for stoppage is changed to a release confirmation (step S101 in FIG. 27 described later).

  FIG. 15 (3) shows an FT mode transition number selection table C for the chance stop display game. The chance stop display game is a game where the winning combination for stop is a chance.

  FIG. 15 (4) shows an FT mode transition number selection table D for other games. Other games are games other than the lose internal winning game, the FT end game, and the chance stop display game.

  Next, the FT end lottery state lottery table will be described with reference to FIG.

  In the FT end lottery state lottery table, lottery values corresponding to the FT end lottery state of the transfer destination are shown according to the transfer number and the current FT end lottery state (transfer source).

  Here, in FIG. 15B, when the FT end lottery state is “2”, “6” is selected as the transition number. On the other hand, when the FT end lottery state is “3”, “7” is selected as the transition number. In FIG. 16, the probability of shifting to the FT end lottery state 0 or the FT end lottery state 1 having a low probability of winning the high probability end lottery is higher in “6” than in the transition number “7”. Therefore, the degree of advantage of the player based on the transfer destination FT end lottery state is higher in the FT end lottery state 3 than in the FT end lottery state 2.

  In the FT mode lottery table of FIG. 16, at least the value of the transfer destination FT end lottery state is the FT end lottery state (transfer source) for any combination of the transfer number and the transfer destination FT end lottery state. The probability of being below the value is not “0”. That is, the FT end lottery state is configured to shift to a more advantageous state step by step. As a result, the gaming machine is provided with “transition condition changing means”, and the “transition condition changing means” is determined as “the special combination is determined as the winning combination, and the winning display control means specially assigns the winning display means. When it is permitted to stop and display the winning mode of the first, the state transition means does not shift the probability state from the first probability state to the second probability state, and the probability of being satisfied is a predetermined probability. The transition condition is changed from the transition condition to a second transition condition that has a higher probability of being satisfied than the first transition condition, so that, for example, the state of the gaming machine gradually approaches an advantageous state. You may be able to produce that.

  Next, the FT extended game number determination table will be described with reference to FIG.

  In the FT extended game number determination table, lottery values corresponding to the FT extended game number of “0” to “5” are shown according to the FT end lottery state. The number of FT extension games is counted by the FT extension counter, and the number of games to be extended during the high probability replay when the end lottery during the high probability replay is won and the transition to the normal probability replay is confirmed. Indicates. The FT extended game number determination table is used in step S98 of FIG. 27 described later.

  Next, the carryover combination setting table will be described with reference to FIG.

  In the carryover combination setting table, the BB selection ratio is shown according to the FT end lottery state. The BB selection ratio is information for determining whether the carryover combination is BB or RB. Specifically, when the random number extracted from the range of “0” to “255” is smaller than the BB selection ratio, the carryover combination is determined as BB, and when it is larger, it is determined as RB. The carryover combination setting table is used in step S41 of FIG.

  19 is based on a main control circuit 71 that controls game processing operations in the gaming machine 1, peripheral devices (actuators) that are electrically connected to the main control circuit 71, and control commands transmitted from the main control circuit 71. A circuit configuration including the liquid crystal display device 5, the speakers 21L and 21R, the LEDs 101, and the sub-control circuit 72 that controls the lamps 102 is shown.

  The main control circuit 71 includes a microcomputer 30 disposed on a circuit board as a main component, and is added with a circuit for random number sampling. The microcomputer 30 includes a CPU 31 that performs a control operation according to a preset program, and a ROM 32 and a RAM 33 that are storage means.

  Connected to the CPU 31 are a clock pulse generator 34 and a frequency divider 35 for generating a reference clock pulse, and a random number generator 36 and a sampling circuit 37 for generating a random number to be sampled. As a means for random number sampling, random number sampling may be executed in the microcomputer 30, that is, on the operation program of the CPU 31. In that case, the random number generator 36 and the sampling circuit 37 can be omitted, or can be left as a backup for the random number sampling operation.

  In the ROM 32 of the microcomputer 30, a probability lottery table (FIG. 4) used for determination of random number sampling performed every time the start lever 6 is operated (start operation), and the reel stop mode is determined according to the stop button operation. A stop table group (FIG. 7) for executing, various control commands (commands) for transmitting to the sub control circuit 72, and the like are stored. The sub control circuit 72 does not input commands, information, or the like to the main control circuit 71, and communication is performed in one direction from the main control circuit 71 to the sub control circuit 72. Various information is stored in the RAM 33. For example, a flag, game state information, and the like are stored.

  In the circuit of FIG. 19, the main actuators whose operation is controlled by a control signal from the microcomputer 30 are a BET lamp (1-BET lamp 9a, 2-BET lamp 9b, maximum BET lamp 9c), and an information display section. 18, a hopper (including a drive unit for payout) 40 that stores medals and pays out a predetermined number of medals according to a command from the hopper drive circuit 41, and a stepping motor 49L that rotates the reels 3L, 3C, 3R 49C and 49R.

  Furthermore, a motor drive circuit 39 that drives and controls the stepping motors 49L, 49C, and 49R, a hopper drive circuit 41 that drives and controls the hopper 40, a lamp drive circuit 45 that drives and controls various lamps, and a display unit that drives and controls various display units A drive circuit 48 is connected to the output unit of the CPU 31. Each of these drive circuits receives a control signal such as a drive command output from the CPU 31 and controls the operation of each actuator.

  The main input signal generating means for generating an input signal necessary for the microcomputer 30 to generate a control command includes a start switch 6S, a 1-BET switch 11, a 2-BET switch 12, a maximum BET switch 13, There are a C / P switch 14, a medal sensor 22S, a reel stop signal circuit 46, a reel position detection circuit 50, and a payout completion signal circuit 51.

  The start switch 6S detects the operation of the start lever 6. The medal sensor 22S detects medals inserted into the medal insertion slot 22. The reel stop signal circuit 46 generates a stop signal in response to the operation of each stop button 7L, 7C, 7R. The reel position detection circuit 50 receives the pulse signal from the reel rotation sensor and supplies a signal for detecting the position of each reel 3L, 3C, 3R to the CPU 31. The payout completion signal circuit 51 generates a signal for detecting completion of the medal payout when the count value of the medal detection unit 40S (the number of medals paid out from the hopper 40) reaches the designated number data.

  In the circuit of FIG. 19, a random number generator 36 generates a random number belonging to a certain numerical range, and a sampling circuit 37 samples one random number at an appropriate timing after the start lever 6 is operated. The winning combination is determined based on the random number thus sampled and the probability lottery table stored in the ROM 32.

  After the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is started, the number of drive pulses supplied to each of the stepping motors 49L, 49C, 49R is counted, and the counted value is written in a predetermined area of the RAM 33. From the reels 3L, 3C, 3R, reset pulses are obtained every rotation, and these pulses are input to the CPU 31 via the reel position detection circuit 50. The count value of the drive pulse counted in the RAM 33 is cleared to “0” by the reset pulse thus obtained. As a result, the RAM 33 stores the count value corresponding to the rotational position within the range of one rotation for each of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R.

  A symbol table (not shown) is stored in the ROM 32 in order to associate the rotational positions of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R with the symbols drawn on the outer peripheral surface of the reel. In this symbol table, a code number that is sequentially given for each fixed rotation pitch of each reel 3L, 3C, 3R with reference to the rotation position where the reset pulse is generated, and a corresponding code number are provided. A symbol code indicating the displayed symbol is associated with the symbol.

  Furthermore, a winning symbol combination table (not shown) is stored in the ROM 32. In this winning symbol combination table, a winning symbol combination, a winning medal payout number, and a winning determination code representing the winning are associated with each other. The above winning symbol combination table is referred to when the left reel 3L, the center reel 3C, and the right reel 3R are controlled to stop and when a winning confirmation is made after all reels are stopped.

  When winning by the lottery process (probability lottery process) based on the random number sampling, the CPU 31 operates the operation signal sent from the reel stop signal circuit 46 at the timing when the player operates the stop buttons 7L, 7C, and 7R, and the selection. Based on the stop table, a signal for stopping the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is sent to the motor drive circuit 39.

  In the stop mode indicating winning of the winning combination, the CPU 31 supplies a payout command signal to the hopper driving circuit 41 and pays out a predetermined number of medals from the hopper 40. At that time, the medal detection unit 40S counts the number of medals to be paid out from the hopper 40, and when the count value reaches a designated number, a medal payout completion signal is input to the CPU 31. Thereby, CPU31 stops the drive of the hopper 40 via the hopper drive circuit 41, and complete | finishes a medal payout process.

  The power amplifier 96 is an amplifier, and speakers 21L and 21R are connected to the power amplifier 96. The power amplifier 96 amplifies the sound source output from the sound source IC 95 and outputs the amplified sound source from the speakers 21L and 21R.

  The sound source ROM 97 stores sound source data (phrase etc.) for generating a sound source.

  The sound / lamp control microcomputer 91 is connected to a volume control unit 103. The volume control unit 103 can be operated by employees of the game hall and the like, and the volume output from the speakers 21L and 21R is adjusted. The sound / lamp control microcomputer 91 performs control to adjust the sound output from the speakers 21L and 21R to the input volume based on the input signal transmitted from the volume control unit 103.

  Next, the control operation of the CPU 31 of the main control circuit 71 will be described with reference to the main flowcharts shown in FIGS.

  First, the CPU 31 performs initialization at the start of the game (step S1). Specifically, initialization of the storage contents of the RAM 33, initialization of communication data, and the like are performed. Subsequently, the predetermined stored contents of the RAM 33 at the end of the game are erased (step S2). Specifically, the data in the writable area of the RAM 33 used for the previous game is erased, the parameters necessary for the next game are written in the write area of the RAM 33, the start address of the sequence program of the next game is specified, etc. I do. Next, it is determined whether or not “30 seconds” have elapsed since the end of the previous game, that is, after all the reels 3L, 3C, 3R stopped (step S3). If this determination is “YES”, a demo display command for requesting display of a demo image for notifying the player that the customer is waiting is sent to the sub-control circuit 72 (step S4). "", The process proceeds to step S5.

  In step S5, the CPU 31 determines whether or not there is a request for automatic insertion of medals, that is, whether or not a replay winning is established in the previous game (step S5). When this determination is “YES”, medals for the insertion request are automatically inserted (step S6), and the process proceeds to step S8. When the determination in step S5 is “NO”, it is determined whether or not there is an input from the medal sensor 22S or the BET switches 11, 12, and 13 (step S7). When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S8, and when “NO”, the process proceeds to step S3.

  In step S8, it is determined whether or not there is an input from the start switch 6S based on the operation of the start lever 6. When this determination is “YES”, a random number for lottery used in step S12 to be described later is extracted (step S9), and the process proceeds to step S10. If the determination in step S8 is “NO”, step S8 is repeated. In step S10, a gaming state monitoring process described later with reference to FIG. 24 is performed, and the process proceeds to step S11. In step S11, an FT control process 1 described later with reference to FIG. 25 is performed, and the process proceeds to step S12. In step S12, a probability lottery process which will be described later with reference to FIG. 26 is performed, and the process proceeds to step S13.

  In step S13, a winning combination determination process for stopping for determining a winning combination for stopping (determining a stop table group) based on the internal winning combination, gaming state, carryover combination, and winning combination selection table for stopping (FIG. 5) And move to step S14. In step S14, an FT control process 2 described later with reference to FIG. 27 is performed, and the process proceeds to step S15. In step S15, a table line selection process is performed to select an effective line in which symbols or symbol combinations corresponding to the winning combination for stop are arranged (select a stop table), and the process proceeds to step S16. In step S16, a start command including information such as the gaming state, current FT end lottery state, internal winning combination, carryover combination and the like is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 72, and the process proceeds to step S17.

  In step S17, it is determined whether or not “4.1 seconds” have elapsed since the previous game started. If this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S19, and if “NO”, the process proceeds to step S18. . In step S18, game start waiting time digestion processing is performed. Specifically, a process of invalidating an input based on an operation for starting a player's game is performed until “4.1 seconds” have elapsed since the start of the previous game. In step S19, a reel rotation process is performed, and the process proceeds to step S20. In step S20, when the rotation speed of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R reaches low speed rotation, a reel stop permission command is transmitted to the sub control circuit 72, and the process proceeds to step S21 in FIG. The reel stop permission command is information indicating that the player's operation of the stop buttons 7L, 7C, and 7R is enabled.

  In step S21, the CPU 31 determines whether or not the stop button is “ON”. Specifically, it is determined whether any one of the stop buttons 7L, 7C, 7R has been operated. When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S23, and when “NO”, the process proceeds to step S22. In step S22, it is determined whether or not the value of the automatic stop timer is “0”. If this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S23, and if “NO”, the process proceeds to step S21.

  In step S23, the CPU 31 performs a sliding frame number determination process for determining the number of sliding frames. Specifically, a stop table is selected from the stop table group corresponding to the determined winning winning combination, and the number of sliding symbols is determined based on the selected stop table, stop operation position, and stop control position. To do. Subsequently, the reel corresponding to the stop button for which the stop operation has been performed is rotated by the number of sliding frames and then stopped (step S24), and a reel stop command including information on the reel that is subject to stop control is sent to the sub-control circuit 72. Transmit (step S25).

  Subsequently, it is determined whether or not all reels have been stopped (step S26). When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S27, and when “NO”, the process proceeds to step S21. In step S27, an all reel stop command indicating that all reels have been stopped is transmitted, and the process proceeds to step S28 in FIG. Here, the sub-control circuit 72 that has received the all-reel stop command controls the back lamps, speakers 21L, 21R, etc. provided on the back side of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R. For example, when receiving a start command including information indicating that the winning combination for stopping is a chance, the sub-control circuit 72 uses the display window 4L, The back lamp provided on the back side of the “bell” stopped and displayed in 4C and 4R is blinked or a specific sound is emitted.

  In step S28, a winning search is performed. The winning search is to set a winning flag for identifying a winning combination (a winning combination) based on the pattern stop mode of the display windows 4L, 4C, 4R. Specifically, a winning combination is identified based on a code number of symbols arranged along the center line 8c and a winning determination table. Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the winning flag is normal (step S29). When this determination is “NO”, an illegal error is displayed (step S31). In this case, the game is canceled.

  When the determination in step S29 is “YES”, it is determined whether or not the winning flag is BB or RB, that is, whether or not BB or RB winning is realized (step S30). When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S32, and when “NO”, the process proceeds to step S33. In step S32, when the winning combination is BB or RB, the BB carryover number or the RB carryover number is updated ("1" subtraction), and the process proceeds to step S33. In step S33, medals are credited or paid out according to the gaming state, and the gaming state is shifted to the BB gaming state or the RB gaming state according to the winning combination, and the process proceeds to step S34 in FIG.

  In step S34 of FIG. 23, it is determined whether or not the BB general gaming state or the RB gaming state. When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S35, and when “NO”, the process proceeds to step S2 in FIG. In step S35, BB and RB game number check processing is performed, and the process proceeds to step S36. In step S36, it is determined whether or not the BB gaming state is ended. If this determination is "YES", the process proceeds to step S37, and if "NO", the process proceeds to step S39. In the BB gaming state, when the number of wins is 8 or the number of games is 12 in the “third” RB gaming state, or when the number of games in the BB general gaming state is 30, the determination in step S36 Becomes “YES”.

  In step S37, processing at the end of BB is performed, an initial value (“1500” in the embodiment) is set in the ceiling counter (step S38), and the process proceeds to step S41. In step S39, it is determined whether or not the RB gaming state that has occurred when “BAR-BAR-BAR” is arranged along the active line is ended. In the RB gaming state, when the number of wins is 8 or the number of games is 12, the determination in step S39 is “YES”. When the determination in step S39 is “YES”, processing at the end of RB is performed (step S40), and the process proceeds to step S41. If "NO", the process proceeds to step S2 in FIG.

  In step S41, a carryover combination is determined based on the BB carryover number, the RB carryover number, and the carryover combination setting table (FIG. 18), and the determined carryover combination is set. If the bonus carryover number is “0”, no carryover combination is set. Subsequently, it is determined whether the carryover combination is BB or RB (step S42). When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S43, and when “NO”, the process proceeds to step S2 in FIG. In step S43, the FT flag is updated to “ON”, and the process proceeds to step S2 in FIG.

  Next, the gaming state monitoring process will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, the CPU 31 determines whether the BB general gaming state or the RB gaming state is set (step S51). When this determination is “YES”, the game state is set according to each game state (step S52), and the process proceeds to step S16 in FIG. If "NO", the process moves to step S53. In step S53, it is determined whether or not the carryover combination is BB. When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S54, and when “NO”, the process proceeds to step S55. In step S54, the gaming state is set to the BB internal winning state. Specifically, when the FT flag is “ON”, the gaming state is set to the BB internal winning state during the high probability replaying. When the FT flag is “OFF”, the gaming state is set to the normal winning replay BB internal winning state. Subsequently, the process proceeds to step S16 in FIG.

  In step S55, it is determined whether or not the carryover combination is RB. When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S56, and when “NO”, the process proceeds to step S57. In step S56, the gaming state is set to the RB internal winning state. Specifically, when the FT flag is “ON”, the gaming state is set to the RB internal winning state during the high probability replaying. When the FT flag is “OFF”, the gaming state is set to the RB internal winning state during normal probability replaying. Subsequently, the process proceeds to step S16 in FIG. In step S57, the gaming state is set to the general gaming state, and the process proceeds to step S16 in FIG.

  Next, the FT control process 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, the CPU 31 determines whether or not the value of the FT extension counter is “0” (step S61). When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S62, and when “NO”, the process proceeds to step S69. In step S62, it is determined whether or not the FT flag is “ON”. When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S63, and when “NO”, the process proceeds to step S12 in FIG. In step S63, it is determined whether or not the BB carryover number is “0”. When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S12 in FIG. 21, and when “NO”, the process proceeds to step S64.

  In step S64, it is determined whether or not the value of the ceiling counter is “0”. When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S68, and when “NO”, the process proceeds to step S65. Here, at the end of the RB gaming state (the determination in step S39 in FIG. 23 is “YES”), the process of setting the initial value in the ceiling counter (step S38 in FIG. 23) is not performed. On the other hand, the FT flag is updated to “ON” (step S43 in FIG. 23). Therefore, basically, the determination in step S64 is “YES” in the game next to the game in which the RB gaming state has ended.

  In step S65, the value of the ceiling counter is updated ("1" subtraction), and the process proceeds to step S66. In step S66, it is determined whether or not the value of the ceiling counter is “0”. That is, the condition for shifting from high probability replay to normal probability replay is related to the value of the ceiling counter that counts the number of games during high probability replay. When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S67, and when “NO”, the process proceeds to step S12 in FIG. In step S67, the transfer destination FT end lottery state is determined based on the tables shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, and the process proceeds to step S68. In step S68, the FT flag is set to “off”, and the process proceeds to step S12 in FIG.

  In step S69, the value of the FT extension counter is updated ("1" subtraction), and the process proceeds to step S70. In step S70, it is determined whether or not the value of the FT extension counter is “0”. When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S68, and when “NO”, the process proceeds to step S12 in FIG.

  Next, the probability lottery process will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, the CPU 31 determines whether or not the BB general gaming state or the RB gaming state. When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S72, and when “NO”, the process proceeds to step S73. In step S72, a lottery (internal winning combination is determined) based on a bonus medium probability lottery table (not shown) is performed, and the process proceeds to step S76. In step S73, it is determined whether or not the FT flag is “ON”. When this determination is “YES”, the lottery is performed based on the high-probability replay-use probability lottery table (FIG. 4 (2)) (step S74), and the process proceeds to step S76. When the determination in step S73 is “NO”, the lottery is performed based on the normal probability re-playing intermediate probability lottery table (FIG. 4A) (step S75), and the process proceeds to step S76.

  In step S76, the lottery result is set as an internal winning combination, and the process proceeds to step S77. In step S77, it is determined whether or not the internal winning combination is BB. When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S80, and when “NO”, the process proceeds to step S78. In step S78, it is determined whether or not the internal winning combination is RB. When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S79, and when “NO”, the process proceeds to step S13 in FIG. In step S79, the RB carryover number is updated ("1" is added), and the process proceeds to step S83.

  In step S80, it is determined whether or not the BB carryover number is “0”. When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S81, and when “NO”, the process proceeds to step S82. In step S81, an initial value is set in the ceiling counter, and the process proceeds to step S82. In step S82, the BB carryover number is updated ("1" is added), and the process proceeds to step S83.

  In step S83, it is determined whether the carryover combination is BB or RB. When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S13 in FIG. 21, and when “NO”, the process proceeds to step S84. In step S84, the FT flag is updated to “ON”, and the process proceeds to step S85. In step S85, the winning combination is set in the carryover combination. Specifically, when there is no carryover combination, the BB or RB determined as the internal winning combination is set as the carryover combination. Subsequently, the process proceeds to step S13 in FIG.

  Next, the FT control process 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, the CPU 31 determines whether or not the internal winning combination is lost (step S91). When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S92, and when “NO”, the process proceeds to step S94. In step S92, the FT flag is updated to “off”, and the process proceeds to step S93. In step S93, "0" is set in the FT extension counter, and the process proceeds to step S103.

  In step S94, it is determined whether or not the value of the FT extension counter is “0”. When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S95, and when “NO”, the process proceeds to step S15 in FIG. In step S95, it is determined whether or not the FT flag is “ON”. When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S96, and when “NO”, the process proceeds to step S15 in FIG.

  In step S96, when the internal winning combination is a re-game, an end lottery during a high-probability re-game is performed on the winning combination for stopping and FT end lottery table (FIG. 14), and the process proceeds to step S97. In step S97, it is determined whether or not the end lottery is won. When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S98, and when “NO”, the process proceeds to step S103. In step S98, the FT extended game number is determined based on the FT extended game number determination table (FIG. 17), the number is set as an initial value in the FT extended counter, and the process proceeds to step S99.

  In step S99, it is determined whether or not the value of the FT extension counter is “1”, that is, whether or not “1” is selected as the initial value of the number of FT extension games. When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S100, and when “NO”, the process proceeds to step S102. In step S100, it is determined whether or not the winning combination for stopping is a chance. When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S101, and when “NO”, the process proceeds to step S102. In step S101, the winning combination for stop is changed to a release confirmation, and the process proceeds to step S102. In step S102, an FT end game is set, and the process proceeds to step S103. In step S103, the transfer destination FT end lottery state is determined based on the tables shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, and the process proceeds to step S15 in FIG.

  As mentioned above, although the Example was described, this invention is not limited to this.

  In the embodiment, high probability replaying is adopted as the first probability state (first state), and normal probability replaying is adopted as the second probability state (second state). It is not something that can be done. Any probability can be adopted as long as the probability of stopping and displaying the stop mode (specific winning mode) of the symbol indicating the bonus winning in the “two” states is different. In addition, any probability can be adopted as the first probability and the second probability.

  Further, in the embodiment, the chance chance is adopted as a special winning mode, but the present invention is not limited to this. Any aspect can be employed. Further, as a chance, the stop mode in the display windows 4L, 4C, 4R where the “bell” is stopped and displayed in a large V shape is adopted, but any mode can be used.

  Furthermore, in addition to the slot machine as in this embodiment, the present invention can be applied to other gaming machines such as pachinko gaming machines. Furthermore, a game can be executed by applying the present invention to a game program in which the above-described operation in the slot machine is simulated for a home game machine. In that case, a CD-ROM, FD (flexible disk), or any other recording medium can be used as a recording medium for recording the game program.

  In addition, a winning combination determined by adding together a winning combination (for example, an internal winning combination) and a carryover combination in the present embodiment may be used as the winning combination. As a specific example, in a game unit in which the carryover combination is BB and the winning combination is a cherry small combination, BB and cherry small combination may be applied as the winning combination.

  In the present embodiment, replaying (replaying) is very suitable because there is a merit that the player can reduce the spending of the game medium when the winning probability is changed so as to increase the winning probability. Further, if it is higher than a predetermined probability value, the replay may be changed so as to reduce the winning probability. Here, the reason why the player's euphoria can be lowered by increasing the replay win probability is, for example, when the replay win probability is increased from “1/5” to “1/2”. In the case of 1/5 ″, the number of games won for replaying during 100 games is about 20, so that the game cannot be started about 80 times unless a game medium is inserted. In the case of “1/2”, the number of games won for replay during 100 games is about 50, and the game cannot be started unless the game medium is inserted about 50 times. Therefore, since the number of games in which the player puts the game medium into the gaming machine is reduced by about 30 times after the increase in the winning probability before the increase in the winning probability, it is possible to reduce the game medium expenditure by the player. . In the re-game, there is no payout of award media (coins, etc.), so even if the probability is changed, no big payout media will be paid out. From this sense, the first probability state and the second probability state are replayed. Realizing with the change of the probability is preferable because it does not envy the player's gambling.

  When the first probability state and the second probability state are configured by using the change of the winning probability of replaying in the gaming machine having the function of changing the winning probability of the replaying as described above, the winning probability of the replaying is set as follows. Since the timing for changing can be freely changed in design, it may be applicable to various gaming machines.

  A game start command means for instructing start of a unit game based on an operation result by the player, a winning combination determining means for determining a predetermined combination as a winning combination based on the input of a game start command signal, and the winning Based on the fact that the winning combination is a predetermined winning combination, a winning display control means for stopping and displaying a predetermined winning mode on the winning display means, and based on the fact that the winning combination is a specific winning combination, the winning display control means Advantageous state generating means for generating an advantageous state advantageous to a player when a specific winning mode is stopped and displayed on the winning display means, and the winning display control when the winning combination is the specific combination When the winning combination is the specific combination from the first probability state where the probability that the means can stop display the specific winning mode is the first probability, the winning display control unit specific A state in which the probability state is shifted to a second probability state that is a second probability higher than the first probability that the prize mode can be stopped and displayed on condition that a predetermined transition condition is satisfied. When the transition means and the special winning combination are determined as the winning combination and the winning display control means permits the special display manner to be stopped and displayed on the winning display means, the probability of being satisfied is a predetermined probability. And a transition condition changing means for changing the transition condition from a first transition condition to a second transition condition having a higher probability of being satisfied than the first transition condition. The winning display means for notifying whether or not the game value is given is a display means that is easy for the player to identify. In addition, when a special winning mode (for example, a chance) is permitted to be stopped, the transition condition is changed to a condition advantageous to the player. Therefore, the risk that the player misses that the special winning mode is stopped and displayed is reduced, and the player can sufficiently enjoy the game effect that the transition condition is changed by displaying the special winning mode such as an opportunity. There are cases where it is possible.

  As a result of the player's operation of the start lever 6, a special combination (for example, replay) is determined as a winning combination, and a special winning mode (chance) is determined as an operation result of the stop buttons 7L, 7C, 7R. If it is stopped, the player may be given a sense of accomplishment, such as having an advantageous transition condition set by his / her own operation, and the player may feel more involved in the game, In some cases, the value of the gaming machine can be improved.

  Furthermore, a plurality of special winning modes are configured to permit stop display and stop display, and when a special special winning mode out of the plurality of special winning modes is permitted, The second transition condition (for example, FT end lottery state 1) advantageous to the player from the first transition condition (for example, FT end lottery state 1) with a higher probability than the case where the stop display of a special winning aspect other than a special winning aspect is permitted. For example, when the transition condition is changed in the FT end lottery state 2 or the like, there may be a case where the effect and the game are further enhanced.

  The effects described in the embodiments of the present invention are merely a list of the most preferable effects resulting from the present invention, and the effects of the present invention are limited to those described in the embodiments of the present invention. It is not something.
