Description

  The present invention relates to a slot machine capable of generating a predetermined winning according to a display result of a variable display device capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information each identifiable, and in particular, for production separately from the variable display device The present invention relates to a slot machine including a variable display device.

  Conventionally, as this type of slot machine, a variable display device (hereinafter also referred to as a sub-reel) that is more prominent than a variable display device is provided separately from a variable display device (hereinafter also referred to as a main reel) that is directly related to the occurrence of a prize, It is possible to keep track of the progress of the game with the sub reel as the main body by linking the change of the sub reel to the change of the main reel and deriving the display result for the production corresponding to the display result of the main reel as the display result of the sub reel. And a slot machine capable of enhancing the production effect has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  Further, when an occurrence of a notification target winning is generated that is caused by an operation for deriving a display result from the main reel in an operation procedure that satisfies a predetermined derivation condition, an operation procedure that satisfies the derivation condition is notified. There has been proposed a slot machine having a function of giving a notification gaming state (so-called assist time) or the like that can increase the probability of occurrence of a notification target winning as a gaming value (a gaming privilege) (for example, Patent Documents) 2).

JP2002-793A (first page) JP 2003-52909 A (pages 17-19, 13, 14)

  By combining the technique described in Patent Document 1 and the technique described in Patent Document 2 described above, for example, as a display result of a sub reel, the notification game state described above or the like is triggered by the fact that a specific display mode is derived. A slot machine that gives game value can be considered. However, although the sub reel is linked to the fluctuation of the main reel as described above, the main reel is not linked to the fluctuation of the sub reel. For example, when a specific display mode is derived in the sub reel, the sub reel is more than the main reel. When performing an effect that changes the value for a long time (so-called reach action), even though the sub-reel continues to change, game value is given, or a specific display mode is derived as a display result of the sub-reel. In some cases, a display result accompanied with a game value is derived as the display result of the main reel, or a display result not accompanied with a game value is derived as the display result of the main reel. . For this reason, there is a problem that although the slot machine grasps the progress of the game with the sub reel as a main body, the variation state of the sub reel and the progress of the game do not mesh with each other, so that the player feels uncomfortable.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to such problems, and even if it is a slot machine that grasps the progress of a game mainly using an effect variable display device different from the variable display device, the effect variable display device It is an object of the present invention to provide a slot machine that can eliminate a sense of incongruity due to the fact that the variation mode of the game does not mesh with the progress of the game.

In order to solve the above-described problem, the slot machine according to claim 1 of the present invention enables a game to be started by setting a predetermined number of bets for one game, and a plurality of each of which can be identified. The display result of the winning variable display device capable of variably displaying the types of winning identification information is derived and displayed, whereby one game is completed, and a winning can be generated according to the display result of the winning variable display device. Slot machine,
When a winning mode is derived as a display result of the winning variable display device, a gaming value giving means for giving a gaming value that can be used for setting the bet amount according to the winning mode;
A variable display device for production, which is provided separately from the variable display device for winning, and capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information for production, each of which can be identified.
Derivation operation means for deriving display results of the winning variable display device and the effect variable display device by a player's operation;
A winning derivation control means for performing control for deriving the display result of the winning variable display device when a derivation condition including an operation of the derivation operating means is established;
When the derivation condition is satisfied, derivation control for deriving the display result of the effect variable display device is performed, and when the winning mode is derived as the display result of the winning variable display device, the effect variable display Display control of the variable display device for winning is performed by performing derivation control for deriving a display result according to the winning mode as a display result of the device at a higher rate than deriving a display result other than the display result according to the winning mode. As a result, when a display result other than the winning mode is derived, a display result other than the display result according to the winning mode is derived as a display result of the effect variable display device, and a display result according to the winning mode is derived. A derivation control means for production that performs derivation control to derive at a higher rate than
When a specific display mode is derived as a display result of the effect variable display device, game value giving means for giving a game value advantageous to the player;
With
When the derivation control means performs derivation control for deriving at least the specific display mode as the display result of the presentation variable display device, the time from the establishment of the derivation condition to the derivation of the display result is the production It is possible to perform special derivation control that is longer than the variable display time by the derivation control applied at the highest rate when the display result of the variable display device for derivation is derived and longer than the variable display time of the variable display device for winning. Special derivation control means,
The derivation derivation control means has the specific display mode on condition that the display result other than the display result accompanied by the addition of the game value is derived as the display result of the winning variable display device. It is characterized by performing derivation control.
According to this feature, the display result of the production variable display device is derived through the player's operation, and the player is triggered by the fact that a specific display mode is derived as the display result of the production variable display device. Since an advantageous game value is given to the player, interest can be enhanced. Further, when a specific display mode is derived as the display result of the production variable display device, the time from the establishment of the derivation condition to the derivation of the display result is the highest rate when the display result of the production variable display device is derived. Special derivation control (so-called reach action) that is longer than the variable display time by the derivation control applied in the game and longer than the variable display time of the winning variable display device may be performed. It is possible to effectively increase the player's expectation for being played. Furthermore, the specific display mode in the production variable display device is derived only in a game in which a display result without a game value is given as the display result of the winning variable display device. There are cases where a game value is given or a game value is not given in a game in which a specific display mode is derived as a display result of the variable display device, or the variable display device for effects varies with special derivation control In spite of being in the middle, there is no occurrence of an event such as a game value being given when the variation of the winning variable display device is stopped. It is possible to eliminate the sense of incongruity caused by the fact that the progress is not meshed.
It should be noted that the predetermined number of bets is at least one bet number, and a game can be started by setting a bet number of two or more or setting a maximum bet number. good.
The game value is a valuable value that can be used for setting the number of bets, such as medals and pachinko balls, and the game value is a game state that can be expected to acquire more game value than usual. It is.
In addition, among the display results derived to the winning variable display device, the display result accompanied by the addition of the game value is a winning mode in which a different game value is given according to the display result (so-called small role) Winning), a winning mode (so-called replay winning) in which a replay game using a gaming value of the same size as the number of bets on the game is given.
In addition, the derivation control for deriving the display result according to the winning mode as the display result of the variable display device for rendering at a higher rate than deriving the display result other than the display result according to the winning mode is the rendering Including a derivation control for deriving a display result corresponding to the winning mode as a display result of the variable display device for display at a rate of 100%, and displaying other than the display result corresponding to the winning mode as the display result of the variable display device for presentation The derivation control for deriving the result at a higher rate than deriving the display result according to the winning mode is 100% of the display result other than the display result according to the winning mode as the display result of the effect variable display device. Including derivation control for derivation at a rate of
In addition, when the winning derivation control means derives the winning aspect as the display result of the winning variable display device, the display result according to the winning aspect as the display result of the variable effect display device, When derivation control for deriving a display result other than the display result according to the winning mode is performed at a higher rate, and a display result other than the winning mode is derived as the display result of the variable display device for winning The derivation control is performed to derive a display result other than the display result according to the winning mode as a display result of the effect variable display device at a higher rate than the display result according to the winning mode. However, when the winning mode is derived as the display result of the winning variable display device, the display result corresponding to the winning mode is displayed as the display result of the effect variable display device. When the display result other than the winning mode is derived as the display result of the winning variable display device, the display result of the effect variable display device is not the display result corresponding to the winning mode. The derivation control for deriving the display result may be performed. Further, when a winning mode is derived as a display result of the winning variable display device, derivation control is performed to derive a display result corresponding to the winning mode as a display result of the effect variable display device, When a display result other than the winning mode is derived as the display result of the variable display device, a display result other than the display result corresponding to the winning mode is displayed as the display result of the effect variable display device according to the winning mode. It is also possible to perform derivation control for deriving at a higher rate than deriving the displayed result. Further, when a winning mode is derived as a display result of the winning variable display device, a display result corresponding to the winning mode is displayed as a display result of the effect variable display device other than a display result corresponding to the winning mode. When the display result other than the winning mode is derived as the display result of the winning variable display device, the display control of the effect variable display device is performed. As a result, derivation control for deriving a display result other than the display result corresponding to the winning mode may be performed.

  In addition, for the combination of 2 winning combinations and 12 winning combinations, an internal winning flag (2 winning flag, 12 winning flag) allowing the corresponding winning is won by internal lottery processing, and the derivation selected at that time When the main reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are stopped according to an operation procedure that satisfies the conditions, the winning lines are aligned.

  There are five conditions for derivation of the double winning combination: left-middle-right (left-right-middle), middle-left-right, middle-right-left, right-left-middle, right-middle-left. The main reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are stopped in order, and these derivation conditions are among the main reel control tables in which control patterns corresponding to the five derivation conditions are separately determined by the reel control distribution process described later. It depends on which table is selected. For this reason, in a game in which the two-piece combination flag is won, the operation of stopping the main reels 2L, 2C, and 2R is performed by an operation method that matches the derivation condition of the main reel control table selected in the game. A combination of winning combinations will be available. Further, in this embodiment, as will be described later, the main reel control table in which the stop order of the left main reel as the first stop is defined as the derivation condition is selected at a rate of 1/9 when the two-piece combination flag is won, Since the main reel control table in which the stop order for the first stop other than the left main reel is set as the derivation condition is selected at a ratio of 2/9 each time the two-player combination flag is won, the left main reel is stopped first. When the game is played, the appearance rate of the combination of two winning combinations is on average about 1/9 of the winning probability of the double winning flag, and the two winning combinations when the game is played with the first stop other than the left main reel as the first stop The appearance rate of the winning combination is on average about 2/9 of the winning probability of the double winning flag.

  There are six main conditions for derivation of 12 winning combinations: left-middle-right, left-right-middle, middle-left-right, middle-right-left, right-left-middle, right-middle-left. The reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are stopped in order, and these derivation conditions are any of the main reel control tables in which control patterns corresponding to the six derivation conditions are separately determined by the reel control distribution process described later. It depends on whether the table is selected. For this reason, in a game in which the 12-player combination flag is won, the main reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are stopped by the operation method that matches the derivation condition of the main reel control table selected in the game. A combination of winning combinations will be available. Further, in this embodiment, as will be described later, the main reel control table in which the stop order in which the left main reel is stopped first is defined as the derivation condition is selected at a ratio of 2/18 at the time of winning the 12-sheet winning flag, Since the main reel control table in which the stop order for the first stop other than the left main reel is set as the derivation condition is selected at a ratio of 4/18 at the time of winning the 12-sheet winning flag, the left main reel is stopped first. When the game is played, the appearance rate of the combination of 12 winning combinations is on average about 1/9 of the winning probability of the 12 winning flag, and when the game is played with the first stop other than the left main reel as the first stop The appearance rate of winning combinations is on average about 2/9 of the winning probability of the 12-piece winning flag.

  In this embodiment, the combination of the two-piece winning combination and the 12-piece winning combination are more effective when the game is played with the first main stop other than the left main reel than when the left main reel is played as the first stop. Although the appearance rate of the combination increases, the number of AT-possible games, which will be described later, will be added when the combination of two winning combinations is achieved with the left main reel as the first stop, so the left main reel as the first stop Long-term medal acquisition expectation is higher when playing games.

  After executing the above-described internal lottery process, the main control unit 41 performs a reel control distribution process for selecting a main reel control table applied in the game according to the result of the internal lottery process. The main reel control table is a table that defines a control pattern of a reel stop process performed by the main control unit 41 when the main reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are stopped.

It is selected at a ratio of 2/9 when the two-piece combination flag is won.

  Further, the main reel control tables of the main table numbers 02-01 to 06 are tables in which control patterns corresponding to derivation conditions for drawing a 12-sheet winning combination into the winning line Lm are separately determined. It is selected when the winning combination flag is won. Among the main reel control tables of these table numbers 02-01 to 06, the main reel control table of the main table number 02-01 is 12-piece winning prize when the stop operation is performed in the order of stop of left-middle-right. Is a table for drawing the combination of the two to the winning line Lm, and is selected at a ratio of 1/18 when the 12-piece combination flag is won. The main reel control table of the main table number 02-02 is a table for drawing a combination of 12 winning combinations into the winning line Lm when the stop operation is performed in the order of stop of left-right-middle. When the 12-piece combination flag is won, it is selected at a ratio of 1/18. The main reel control table of the main table number 02-03 is a table for drawing a combination of 12 winning combinations into the winning line Lm when the stop operation is performed in the middle-left-right stop order.

When the 12-piece combination flag is won, it is selected at a ratio of 4/18. The main reel control table of the main table number 02-06 is a table for drawing a combination of 12 winning combinations into the winning line Lm when the stop operation is performed in the right-left-middle stop order. When the 12-piece combination flag is won, it is selected at a ratio of 4/18.

  The main reel control table with the main table number 03 is a table for preferentially drawing a combination of replay winnings into the winning line Lm, and is selected when the replay flag is won. The main reel control table with the main table number 04 is a table for preventing any combination of winning symbols from being drawn into the winning line Lm. When the result of the internal lottery process is lost (hereinafter also referred to as lost). ) Is selected.

  Next, various control contents executed by the main control unit 41 of the game control board 40 in this embodiment as the game progresses will be described based on the flowchart of FIG.

  First, an initial process for preparing for a game start is executed as the power is turned on. Specifically, the connection of various devices, the operation status, and the like are checked, and if it is possible to return to the gaming state before the power is cut off, a recovery process is performed (Sa1).

  Next, a BET process (Sa2), an internal lottery process (Sa3), a reel control distribution process (Sa4), a reel rotation process (Sa5), a reel stop process (Sa6), a winning determination process (Sa7), and a payout process (Sa8) Then, the AT processing period determination process (Sa9) and the flag update process (Sa10) are repeatedly executed as a loop process.

  In the BET process in step Sa2, the system stands by in a state where medals and credits can be received, sets the number of bets according to the reception of medals and credits, and determines the number of bets when the operation of the start switch 7 is detected. Execute the process. Further, when a replay winning is generated in the previous game, the same bet number as in the previous game is set.

  In the internal lottery process in the step Sa3, a winning is generated based on a comparison result between a random value acquired at the start of the game by the detection of the start switch 7 in the step Sa2 and an internal winning probability table that determines the winning probability of each winning. Whether or not to allow is determined, and processing for setting an internal winning flag is executed according to the result.

  In the reel control distribution process in step Sa4, the internal winning flag is confirmed, and a process of selecting a main reel control table according to the setting status of the internal winning flag is executed.

  In the reel rotation process in step Sa5, a process of rotating each main reel 2L, 2C, 2R is executed. In this reel rotation process, the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is validated when all the main reels 2L, 2C, 2R rotate at a constant speed.

  In the reel stop process in step Sa6, the player detects the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, or the player starts the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R from the start of rotation of the main reels 2L, 2C, 2R. A process of stopping the rotation of the corresponding main reels 2L, 2C, 2R is executed in response to the passage of the automatic stop time without detecting an operation. In this reel stop process, control is performed to stop the main reels 2L, 2C, 2R based on the main reel control table selected in step Sa4.

  In the winning determination process in step Sa7, when it is determined in step Sa6 that the rotation of all main reels 2L, 2C, and 2R has been stopped, according to the display result derived to each main reel 2L, 2C, and 2R. Processing for determining whether or not a winning has occurred is executed.

  In the payout process in step Sa8, when it is determined in step Sa7 that a winning has occurred, processing such as adding credits and paying out medals is performed based on the number of payouts corresponding to the winning.

  In the AT possible period determination process in the step Sa9, a process for determining an AT possible period (the number of AT possible games) in which generation of an AT described later is allowed is performed.

  In the flag update process in step Sa10, a process of clearing the internal winning flag won in step Sa3 is performed.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing detailed control contents of the AT possible period determination process in the step Sa9.

  In the AT-possible period determination process of this embodiment, first, an AT-possible game number counter that stores the remaining number of AT-possible games that are allowed to generate an AT is referenced, and one or more AT-possible games remain. Whether or not there is at least one AT-possible game remains, the AT-possible game number counter is decremented by 1 (Sb2).

  Next, it is confirmed whether or not the two-piece combination flag has been won (Sb3). If the two-piece combination flag has been won, the main reel control table of the main table number 01-01 in the reel control distribution process, That is, it is confirmed whether or not the main reel control table for which the derivation condition for setting the left main reel as the first stop is selected is selected (Sb4). Then, when the main reel control table of the main table number 01-01 is selected, it is confirmed whether or not the combination of two winning combinations has been prepared as a display result of the main reels 2L, 2C, 2R (Sb5). If the combination of two winning combinations has been prepared, one of the numbers 11 to 333 is selected as the number of AT-capable games according to the selection rate shown in FIG. 8 (Sb6), and the number of selected games Is added to the AT possible game number counter (Sb7).

  In the slot machine of the present embodiment, a plurality of types of commands including an internal winning command, a stop control command, a reel start command, a reel stop command, and an AT possible period command are transmitted from the main control unit 41 to the sub control unit 91. .

  The internal winning command is a command indicating the winning status of the internal winning flag, and is transmitted when the start switch 7 is operated. The stop control command is a command indicating the main reel control table selected by the reel control distribution process described above, and is transmitted after the internal winning command is transmitted. The reel start command is a command indicating the start of rotation of the main reels 2L, 2C, 2R, and is transmitted when the rotation of the main reels 2L, 2C, 2R is started. The reel stop command is a command that indicates the stop of the main reels 2L, 2C, and 2R, the stopped main reels (left, middle, and right) and the stop position of the stopped main reel, and the main reels 2L, 2C, and 2R stop. Sent every time. The AT possible period command is a command indicating the number of AT possible games in the next game, and is transmitted when one game is completed.

  In the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 can specify the internal winning flag won by the internal lottery process by the internal winning command. Further, the sub-control unit 91 can specify the main reel control table selected by the reel control distribution process by the stop control command, that is, the main reel control table applied in the game. Furthermore, since the derivation condition for the combination of the 2-sheet winning combination and the 12-sheet winning combination is determined according to the main reel control table selected by the reel control distribution process, the internal winning command and the stop control command described above are used. The sub-control unit 91 can specify the derivation condition for the combination of two winning combinations and 12 winning combinations. Specifically, the main reel specified by the stop control command is received by the sub control unit 91 receiving the stop control command after receiving the internal winning command indicating the winning of the two-piece combination flag or the twelve-piece combination flag. Based on the control table, it is possible to specify the derivation condition for the combination of two winning combinations and 12 winning combinations. Further, the sub-control unit 91 can specify that the rotation of the main reels 2L, 2C, and 2R has started by the reel start command. In addition, the sub-control unit 91 can specify the main reel stop, the stopped main reel, and the derived display result by the reel stop command. Further, the sub-control unit 91 can specify the number of AT-enabled games in the next game by an AT-available period command.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, the sub control unit 91 mounted on the effect control board 90 is controlled by the main control unit 41 mounted on the game control board 40 based on the command received from the game control board 40. The control for performing the production according to the is performed.

  In particular, the sub control unit 91 according to the present embodiment performs control to change the sub reels 82L, 82C, and 82R in conjunction with changes in the main reels 2L, 2C, and 2R controlled by the main control unit 41. Specifically, as the main reels 2L, 2C, and 2R start to rotate, the sub reels 82L, 82C, and 82R also start rotating, and the main reel 2L corresponding to the operation of any one of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R. As the rotation of 2C and 2R stops and the display result is derived, the rotation of the sub reels 82L, 82C and 82R corresponding to the stopped main reels 2L, 2C and 2R also stops, and the display result becomes Perform the derived control. At this time, the sub reels 82L, 82C, and 82R are controlled so that display results corresponding to the display results derived to the main reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are derived.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a symbol arrangement of each of the sub reels 82L, 82C, and 82R. Each of the sub reels 82L, 82C, and 82R has “black 7”, 21 symbols of “White 7”, “Bell”, “Cherry”, “Replay”, and “Shield” are arranged.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, when the combinations of two winning combinations are aligned on the winning line Lm as the display results of the main reels 2L, 2C, 2R, the display results of the sub reels 82L, 82C, 82R As a result, the combination of “cherry-any-any” is aligned on any one of the winning lines for production, and the combination of 12 winning combinations is aligned on the winning line Lm as the display result of the main reels 2L, 2C, 2R. As a display result of the sub reels 82L, 82C, 82R, the combination of “bell-bell-bell” is aligned with any one of the prize winning lines for production, and as a result of displaying the main reels 2L, 2C, 2R, the combination of the replay winning is on the winning line Lm. In the case where the sub-reels 82L, 82C and 82R are displayed, the combination of “replay-replay-replay” is one of the effects. It is adapted to align the winning line.

  Further, the sub-control unit 91 displays “Black 7-Black 7-Black 7” or “White 7-White 7-White 7” on one of the effect winning lines as the display result of the sub reels 82L, 82C, 82R. When the combination is complete, control is performed to assist time (hereinafter referred to as AT) for notifying the operation procedure that satisfies the derivation condition for the combination of two winning combinations and 12 winning combinations. In the AT game, when the two-piece combination flag and the twelve-piece combination flag are won, that is, when the occurrence of the two-piece combination winning and the twelve-piece winning combination is permitted, The stop order that satisfies the derivation conditions for the combination of winning combinations is notified. As a result, in a state other than AT, the two-piece winning combination and the twelve winning combination permitted by winning the two-piece winning flag and the 12-piece winning flag are about 1/9 (when the left main reel is the first stop reel) ) Can be generated only, but when AT occurs, the stop order that matches the derivation condition of the combination of two-piece winning combination and 12-piece winning combination is notified. By performing the stop operation of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R, it is possible to generate all of the two-piece winning prizes and the 12-piece winning prizes that are permitted by winning the two-piece winning flag and the 12-piece winning flag without being missed. become.

  In the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 executes AT lottery for determining whether or not to allow the occurrence of AT, on the condition that the AT period is available, that is, the number of AT-enabled games remains. At the same time, when the AT lottery is won, the number of AT continuing games is selected, and when the selected number of games is other than 0, an AT winning flag indicating that the AT lottery is won is set. The combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” or “white 7-white 7-white 7” is a state in which an AT winning flag is set (hereinafter also referred to as an AT winning state), and the left main reel Left-middle in a game in which any combination of winning symbols is not displayed as the display result of the main reels 2L, 2C, 2R when the stop operations of the main reels 2L, 2C, 2R are performed in the order of stop with the first stop -It is controlled so that it can be aligned with any one of the prize winning lines for performance on the condition that the main reels 2L, 2C, 2R are stopped in the order of stop on the right.

  Further, the combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” or “white 7-white 7-white 7” is based on the normal derivation mode and the special derivation mode according to the sub-reel control table to be described later. It is controlled in such a way that it can be aligned with any of the production pay lines in the two types of derivation modes.

  Of these two types, the normal derivation mode is such that when the main reels 2L, 2C, 2R are stopped, the “black 7” or “white 7” symbol on the corresponding sub reels 82L, 82C, 82R is displayed. If it is within the pull-in range (maximum 4 symbols excluding symbols when stop operation is performed in this embodiment), the combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” or “white 7-white 7-white 7” As shown in FIG. 10 (b), the left sub reel and the middle sub reel are also stopped when the left main reel and the middle main reel are stopped. The display result of the sub-reel and the middle sub-reel is that the combination of “black 7-black 7” or “white 7-white 7” is aligned with any of the production pay lines (hereinafter also referred to as reach state). As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 11A, after the reach action in which the right sub-reel continues to change even after the display result of the right main reel is derived in accordance with the stop operation of the right main reel, as shown in FIG. This is a mode in which a combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” or “white 7-white 7-white 7” is derived. That is, the display result is derived to the sub reels 2L, 2C, and 2R over a longer time than the time required for the display result to be derived to the main reels 2L, 2C, and 2R. It should be noted that the special derivation mode may be applied to cases other than the AT winning state. In this case, as shown in FIG. 11B, finally, “black 7-black 7-black 7” or “ Control is performed so that the combination of “white 7-white 7-white 7” is not derived.

  The special derivation mode also includes the left sub reel and the middle main reel if the timing of the stop operation is within the drawing range of the “black 7” or “white 7” symbol on the corresponding left sub reel and middle sub reel. As a result of displaying the middle sub-reel, a combination of “black 7-black 7” or “white 7-white 7” is drawn into any of the production pay lines, and a reach action is performed on the condition that the reach state is reached, that is, reach “Black 7-Black 7” or “White” as a display result of the left sub-reel and the middle sub-reel regardless of the timing of the stop operation of the left main reel and the middle main reel “7-White 7” combination is forcibly drawn into any of the production pay lines, and reach action is performed in the reach state, ie, And special derivation mode that does not require the eye push to the reach state, there is. In these special derivation modes, regardless of whether or not it is necessary to push to reach the reach state, the right sub-reel finally becomes “black 7-black 7” or “ The “Black 7” or “White 7” symbol is drawn into the winning line for production in which “White 7-White 7” is arranged. That is, in the special derivation mode, the right sub-reel does not need to be pushed in the reach state, regardless of whether or not the pushing is required for the reach state.

  Next, the control contents executed by the sub-control unit 91 mounted on the effect control board 90 in the present embodiment will be described based on the flowchart of FIG.

  First, when power is turned on, initialization is performed (Sc1). Specifically, the connection check of each part, the setting of each register, etc. are performed, and if it is possible to return to the effect state before the power is cut off, the process of returning is performed.

  After the initial setting, the system waits in a state waiting for reception of an internal winning command transmitted from the main control board 40 (Sc2). When an internal winning command is received in this state, it waits for reception of a stop control command. Wait (Sc3).

  When the stop control command is received, after performing an AT lottery process for performing an AT lottery process for determining whether or not to allow the occurrence of AT (Sc4), the main reel selected by the main control unit 41 A sub reel control distribution process for selecting a sub reel control table applied in the game is performed according to whether or not the control table and the AT winning state are set (Sc5).

  Next, when the sub reel control table of the sub table numbers 16 to 19 is selected in the step of Sc5, that is, when the special derivation mode with reach action is applied, the fact that the sub reel lamp 55 is turned on and the warning sound is output. After performing a prior notification process for notification (Sc6), the system waits in a state waiting for reception of a reel start command (Sc7).

  When a reel start command is received, a sub reel start process for starting the rotation of the sub reel is performed (Sc8), and then when the two-piece combination flag and the twelve-piece combination flag are won in the AT game, A stop order notification process is performed to notify the stop order satisfying the condition for deriving the combination of winning combinations and the condition for deriving the combination of 12 winning combinations according to the lighting state of the sub reel lamp 55 (Sc9). Wait in a state (Sc10). When the reel stop command is received, a sub reel stop process for deriving a display result to the sub reel corresponding to the stopped main reel is performed based on the sub reel control table selected in the step of Sc5 (Sc11). It is confirmed whether or not it has been stopped (Sc12).

  If any of the sub reels is changing, the process returns to the step Sc9. If all sub-reels are stopped, the apparatus waits in a state waiting for receiving an AT-enabled period command (Sc13), and when receiving an AT-enabled period command, shifts from the normal state to the AT state, After performing a control state transition process for shifting the control state such as shifting to a normal state (Sc14), the process returns to the step Sc2.

  FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing detailed control contents of the AT lottery process in the step of Sc4.

  In the AT lottery process, first, it is checked whether or not an AT is in progress based on the presence or absence of an AT flag indicating that an AT is in progress (Sd1). It is confirmed whether or not the number of AT-enabled games specified by the period command remains (Sd2). If one or more AT-enabled games remain, whether or not AT is allowed to be generated by random lottery is determined. An AT lottery for determination at a predetermined ratio is performed (Sd3), and it is confirmed whether or not the AT lottery is won (Sd4). If the AT lottery is won, the number of AT games is selected based on the selection rate for each number of AT-capable games shown in FIG. 15 (Sd5), and the selected number of games is stored in the AT that stores the number of remaining AT games. A game number counter is set (Sd6). Then, it is confirmed whether or not the value of the AT game number counter is 1 or more (Sd7). If the value of the AT game number counter is 1 or more, an AT winning flag indicating that the AT lottery is won is set (Sd8). ), Until the AT is forcibly activated regardless of whether the combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” or “white 7-white 7-white 7” has been prepared as the display result of the sub reels 82L, 82C, 82R A predetermined value (5 in this embodiment) is set to the activation standby counter for counting the number of games (Sd9).

  Further, in this embodiment, when the AT lottery is won, as shown in FIG. 15, the number of games of 0 to 333, that is, the number of AT games of a plurality of types including 0, depends on the number of AT possible games in the game. The game is selected based on a predetermined selection rate. When 0 is selected as the number of AT games, the AT winning flag is not set even if the AT lottery is won and no AT is generated. It has become. Furthermore, even if the AT lottery is won or the number of AT-enabled games in the game is 11 or less, which is the minimum number of AT games that can be selected except for 0, that is, the AT is generated from the next game. When an AT with the smallest number of AT games cannot be generated within the range of AT possible games, only 0 is selected as the number of AT games. In such a case, even if the AT lottery is won, the AT Does not occur.

  FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing the detailed control contents of the control state transition process in the step of Sc14.

  In the control state transition process, first, the number of AT-enabled games specified by the AT-enabled period command that triggered the execution of the process is updated as the number of AT-enabled games in the next game (Se1).

  Next, based on the presence / absence of the AT flag, it is checked whether or not the AT is in progress (Se2). Then, it is confirmed whether or not the value of the AT game number counter is 0, that is, whether or not the AT is finished (Se4). If the value of the AT game number counter is 0, the AT flag is cleared (Se5). That is, the AT is terminated.

  Further, if the AT is not in the step of Se2, it is confirmed whether or not the AT is in a winning state based on the presence or absence of the AT winning flag (Se6). It is confirmed whether or not a combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” or “white 7-white 7-white 7” has been prepared (Se7), and “black 7-black 7-black 7” or “white 7” If the combination of “white 7-white 7” is prepared, the AT winning flag is cleared and the AT flag is set (Se11).

  If the combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” or “white 7-white 7-white 7” is not complete in the step of Se7, the value of the activation standby counter is decremented by 1 (Se8), and the activation standby It is confirmed whether the counter value is 0, that is, whether the number of games until the AT is forcibly activated after winning the AT lottery has passed (Se9). The winning flag is cleared and the AT flag is set (Se11).

  Also, if the value of the activation standby counter is not 0 in the step of Se9, whether the value of the AT game number counter is equal to the number of AT-enabled games, that is, if no AT is generated from the next game, It is confirmed whether or not it becomes impossible to execute the AT of the selected number of AT games within the range of the number of AT possible games (Se10), and if the value of the AT game number counter is equal to the number of AT possible games, In this case, the AT winning flag is cleared and the AT flag is set (Se11).

  Further, in Se11, an AT is generated internally, but a notification that an AT has occurred is received when a command is received from the game control board 40 indicating that a bet number setting operation has been performed. Or when the internal winning command is received next, that is, when the betting number setting operation is performed or when the start switch 7 is operated.

  As described above, the display results of the sub reels 82L, 82C, and 82R are derived through the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R, that is, the player's operation, and the display results of the sub reels 82L, 82C, and 82R are “ Since an AT that is advantageous to the player is generated when the combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” or “white 7-white 7-white 7” is derived, the interest can be enhanced. Further, when control is performed to derive a combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” or “white 7-white 7-white 7” as the display result of the sub reels 82L, 82C, 82R, the stop switches 8L, 8C, The fluctuation time from when the 8R is operated until the display result of the sub reels 82L, 82C, 82R is derived is usually longer than the fluctuation time until the display result of the sub reels 82L, 82C, 82R is derived, and the main reel Since a reach action that is longer than the fluctuation time until the display results of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are derived may be performed, the player's sense of expectation for the occurrence of AT can be effectively enhanced by these reach actions. Further, the combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” or “white 7-white 7-white 7” in the sub reels 82L, 82C, 82R is accompanied by the provision of medals as the display result of the main reels 2L, 2C, 2R. No display result is derived only in a game in which the display result is derived, and the display results of the sub reels 82L, 82C, 82R are “black 7-black 7-black 7” or “white 7-white 7-white 7”. The main reels 2L, 2C, and 2R may be awarded even though medals are awarded or not, and the sub-reels 82L, 82C, and 82R are changing in accordance with the reach action. The phenomenon of sub reels 82L, 82C, 82R and the game mode of the game will not occur. It is possible to eliminate a sense of discomfort due to the progress of the is not engaged.

  In this embodiment, a combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” or “white 7-white 7-white 7” is derived on the condition that the stop operation is performed in the order of left-middle-right. Combination of 12 winning combinations when the 12 reel winning flag is won and the main reels 2L, 2C, 2R are stopped in the stopping order in which the left main reel is stopped first. Can be derived as a combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” or “white 7-white 7-white 7” in a game in which is not derived as a display result of the main reels 2L, 2C, 2R “Black 7-Black 7-Black 7” in a game that is controlled but at least does not involve the provision of medals (a game in which the combinations of winning symbols are not arranged as the display results of the main reels 2L, 2C, 2R). Or introduce the combination of “White 7-White 7-White 7” For example, “black 7-black 7-black 7” or “white 7” on condition that the stop operation is performed in the order of the left main reel being the first stop. -White 7-White 7 "is controlled to be derived, and the main reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are stopped in the stop order in which the two-piece combination flag is won and the left main reel is the first stop. In a game in which the combination of two winning combinations is not derived as the display result of the main reels 2L, 2C, 2R when performing the “black 7-black 7-black 7” or “white 7-white 7- It may be controlled so that the combination of “white 7” can be derived, or when the result of the internal lottery process is lost, that is, in any stop order, the combination of winning symbols is not aligned. Sometimes "Black 7-Black 7-Black 7" or " Thereby deriving a combination of 7-White 7-White 7 "may be the possible controlled.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the AT lottery is won and one or more AT games are selected, the AT winning flag is set, and the AT winning state is entered. In this state, the main reels 2L, 2C, 2R If the display result without the medal grant is derived as a display result, it is possible to derive a combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” or “white 7-white 7-white 7”. Therefore, in a game in which a combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” or “white 7-white 7-white 7” can be derived, “black 7-black 7-black 7” or “white 7” -Even if the combination of "white 7-white 7" cannot be derived, the combination of "black 7-black 7-black 7" or "white 7-white 7-white 7" is derived until AT occurs. Will cause more disadvantage to the player than necessary. It can be prevented. The control pattern for deriving the display results of the sub reels 82L, 82C, and 82R in a special deriving manner, that is, the control pattern for deriving the display results with the reach action, is related to the timing when the stop switches 8L and 8C are operated. A control pattern for deriving a combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” or “white 7-white 7-white 7”, ie, “black 7-black 7-black 7” or “white 7-white 7-white” The control pattern (sub-reel control table of sub-table number 16) that does not require pressing to derive the combination of “7” and the timing when the stop switches 8L and 8C are operated are “black 7” in the left sub-reel and the middle sub-reel. Or the combination of “Black 7-Black 7-Black 7” or “White 7-White 7-White 7” is derived on the condition that it is within the drawing range of the “White 7” symbol. Control pattern to be generated, that is, a control pattern that requires pressing to derive a combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” or “white 7-white 7-white 7” (sub-reel control table of sub-table number 17) ), And the latter is selected, it is necessary to push to derive a combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” or “white 7-white 7-white 7”. In other words, since technical intervention is required, it can be more interesting.

  Further, when a control pattern that requires pressing is selected as a control pattern for deriving the display results of the sub reels 82L, 82C, and 82R in a special derivation mode, only the left sub reel and the middle sub reel are pressed. If the combination of “black 7-black 7” or “white 7-white 7” is aligned with one of the production pay lines and the reach state is reached as the display result of the left sub reel and the middle sub reel, the stop switch 8R Regardless of the timing of the operation, the final display results of the sub reels 82L, 82C, and 82R are a combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” or “white 7-white 7-white 7”. Since the display result of the right sub reel is derived, the labor of the player who has reached the reach state by deriving the combination of “black 7-black 7” or “white 7-white 7” is wasted. No.

  In this embodiment, when the control pattern for deriving the display results of the sub reels 82L, 82C, and 82R in the special derivation mode is selected, before the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R becomes effective. The fact that the control pattern for derivation in the special derivation mode has been selected is notified by the lighting mode of the sub reel lamp 55 and the output of the warning sound. , 82C and 82R, the combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” or “white 7-white 7-white 7” is derived, but the display is not performed without knowing that effect. By this, it is possible to prevent missing an opportunity to derive a combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” or “white 7-white 7-white 7”.

  Further, in this embodiment, even in a case other than the AT winning state, that is, when the combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” or “white 7-white 7-white 7” cannot be derived, It is possible to derive the display results of the sub reels 82L, 82C, and 82R, and the display results of the sub reels 82L, 82C, and 82R are derived with a special derivation mode, that is, a reach action, even in a state other than the AT winning state. By performing the control, the player's expectation for the occurrence of AT can be enhanced.

  Further, in this embodiment, after shifting to the AT winning state, “black 7-black 7-black 7” or “white 7-white 7-white 7” for a predetermined number of games (5 games in this embodiment). If it is not possible to derive the combination of the sub reels 82L, 82C, and 82R as the display result, for example, the combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” or “white 7-white 7-white 7” is derived. If the conditions for the game are not satisfied, or if the AT is not generated from the next game even if the predetermined number of games has not elapsed, the AT of the number of AT games selected at the time of the AT lottery will be within the range of the number of games capable of AT. If it becomes impossible to execute, the AT is forcibly set regardless of whether the combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” or “white 7-white 7-white 7” is derived. In the AT winning state, “Black 7-Black -When the combination of "Black 7" or "White 7-White 7-White 7" cannot be derived as the display result of the sub reels 82L, 82C, 82R, that is, the AT lottery is won and one or more games are played Despite the number selected, the combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” or “white 7-white 7-white 7” is derived as the display result of the sub reels 82L, 82C, 82R in the AT winning state. Even when it cannot be made, AT is generated, so that it is possible to prevent the player from being disadvantaged more than necessary.
