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.

  In this type of slot machine, a winning occurs when the display result derived and displayed on the variable display device is in a predetermined winning manner. Whether or not these winnings occur is determined by an internal lottery performed before the display result is derived and displayed.

  Further, in recent years, it is a condition that a lottery for winning is performed by the first lottery, and when no winning is won by the first lottery, the second lottery is performed and the second lottery is won. A slot machine for performing a lottery to determine whether or not to shift to a privilege game has been proposed (for example, see Patent Document 1). Furthermore, in the slot machine, when the second lottery is won, a specific display result different from the display result derived as the display result of the variable display device when the second lottery is not won at a certain rate is displayed. Since the control to be derived is performed, and when the second lottery is won, a specific display result that cannot be derived unless the second lottery is won is derived. By deriving the specific display result, the player can know that the second lottery has been won, and the player's expectation for the privilege game can be enhanced.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, two medals are paid out when the combination of “cherry-any-any” is aligned on one activated pay line in the normal gaming state. Cherry winning occurs. In addition, when the combination of “watermelon-watermelon-watermelon” is aligned on one activated pay line, a watermelon winning in which five medals are paid out occurs. Further, when the combination of “bell-bell-bell” is aligned on one activated pay line, a bell winning in which twelve medals are paid out occurs. In this embodiment, the cherry prize, the watermelon prize, and the bell prize are also referred to as small role prizes. In addition, when the combination of “replay-replay-replay” is arranged on one activated pay line, a replay game (re-game) in which the next game can be executed with the same bet number as that game. ) Will be given a replay (replay) win.

  In addition, if the combination of the symbols “BAR-BAR-BAR” is aligned on any of the winning lines activated in the normal gaming state, an RB winning will occur, and one medal will be paid out as the price. A regular bonus (RB) advantageous to the player is generated, and a plurality of regular bonus games (RB games) in which the above-mentioned Jac winning is generated with high probability are awarded to the player.

  Also, if a combination of “Black 7-Black 7-Black 7” or “White 7-White 7-White 7” is aligned on the winning line activated in the normal gaming state, a BB winning will occur, As a reward, 15 medals are paid out, a big bonus (BB) advantageous to the player is generated, and a plurality of big bonus games (BB games) having a higher probability of occurrence of a small role winning than the normal gaming state, The aforementioned RB is given to the player.

  Control that causes the main control unit 41 to generate the above-mentioned RB in response to the occurrence of the RB winning in the normal gaming state, and control that causes the main control unit 41 to generate the above-described BB in response to the occurrence of the BB winning in the normal gaming state I do.

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 mounted on the game control board 40 executes an internal lottery process for determining whether or not a prize is allowed to be generated by random lottery, and this internal lottery process. When any one of the winnings is permitted, an internal winning flag indicating that is set (hereinafter also referred to as flag winning).

  As shown in FIG. 4, the internal winning flag is determined corresponding to each winning, and the generation of winning corresponding to the condition that the corresponding internal winning flag is set by the internal lottery process is allowed. It will be.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the combination of cherry winning, watermelon winning, replay winning, BB winning, and RB winning in the normal gaming state is an internal winning flag (cherry flag, watermelon flag, replay) that allows the corresponding winning by internal lottery processing. On the condition that each of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R is stopped, it is valid if the corresponding symbol is within the pull-in range (up to four symbols in this embodiment) on the condition that the flag, BB flag, and RB flag) are won. To the winning line.

  Also, in the combination of the Bell winning prize in the normal gaming state, each reel 2L, 2C is operated by an operation procedure in which an internal winning flag (Bell flag) that allows the Bell winning is won by the internal lottery process and the derivation condition selected at that time is satisfied. When the 2R stop operation is performed, they are aligned with the winning line activated.

  The conditions for deriving the Bell prize are 7 kinds of effective stop orders, specifically left-middle-right, left-right-middle, middle-left-right, middle-right-left, right-middle-left, right-left- There are six derivation conditions, each of which is defined as one of the stop orders, and seven derivation conditions of derivation conditions where all combinations of the stop orders are defined as the effective stop order. These derivation conditions are determined depending on which table is selected from among the reel control tables in which control patterns corresponding to the respective derivation conditions are separately determined by the reel control distribution process described later. In the game in which the bell flag is won, the combination of the bell winning combination is performed by stopping the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R in the order corresponding to the effective stop order set in the derivation condition of the reel control table selected in the game. Will be complete. Therefore, the appearance rate of the bell winning in the normal gaming state depends on the winning probability of the bell flag and the selection rate of the reel control table.

  Further, in this embodiment, the winning probability of the bell flag that allows the occurrence of the bell winning is set to be higher than the probability that the derivation of other display results including the loss is allowed. In other words, the Bell winning prize functions as the main small role.

  In addition, among the internal winning flags that allow winnings in the normal gaming state, the cherry flag, watermelon flag, bell flag, and replay flag are valid only in the game in which the internal winning flag is won. Cleared after completion. On the other hand, the BB flag or the RB flag is carried over after the next game until a BB winning or RB winning allowed by the BB flag or RB flag occurs. A game in which the BB flag or RB flag is won is also called a BB flag or RB flag establishment game, and the state from when the BB flag or RB flag is won until the BB winning or RB winning occurs is shown in the BB flag or RB It is also called the flag establishment state.

  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 flag update process (Sa9) and the game state update process (Sa10) are repeated in 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, a process of confirming the internal winning flag and selecting a reel control table according to the setting status of the internal winning flag is executed. The reel control table is a table that defines a control pattern of a reel stop process performed by the main control unit 41 when a stop operation of each reel 2L, 2C, 2R is performed. The number of drawn symbols is determined for each stop timing of 2R.

  In the reel rotation process in step Sa5, a process of rotating each 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 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 operates the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R from the start of the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R. The process of stopping the rotation of the corresponding reels 2L, 2C, 2R is executed in response to the elapse of the automatic stop time without being detected. In this reel stop process, control is performed to stop the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R based on the 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 reels 2L, 2C, and 2R has been stopped, a winning is determined according to the display result derived for each reel 2L, 2C, and 2R. A process of determining whether or not it has occurred is executed.

  In the payout process in step Sa8, when it is determined in step Sa6 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 flag update process in step Sa9, a process for clearing or carrying over the internal winning flag won in step Sa3 is performed. Specifically, a process of clearing the internal winning flag effective only in the game is performed. Further, the BB flag and the RB flag are not cleared when the BB winning or RB winning permitted by the internal winning flag is not generated, and are carried over to the next game, and the BB corresponding to the case where the BB winning or RB winning occurs. Processing to clear the flag or RB flag is performed.

  In the game state update process in the step of Sa10, when a BB winning or RB winning occurs, a process of shifting the gaming state to BB or RB, setting or updating of a counter of the BB game in BB or the RB game in RB And a process of shifting the gaming state to the normal gaming state based on the establishment of the BB or RB termination condition.

  As described above, after executing the internal lottery process, the main control unit 41 performs a reel control distribution process for selecting a reel control table applied in the game according to the result of the internal lottery process. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the reel control tables having table numbers 01 to 08 are applied in the normal gaming state.

  Of these reel control tables, the reel control table of table number 01 is a complete losing eye that does not match any winning symbol combination on the winning line (BB winning, RB winning, cherry winning, watermelon winning, bell winning miss { In order to draw a weak losing eye among the losing eyes different from the display result derived when the internal winning flag that allows the occurrence of these winnings is won, but the winning is not generated) The table is selected at a rate of 98/100 at the time of a loss other than the established state of the BB flag or the RB flag, and is selected at a rate of 10/100 in the established game of the BB flag or the RB flag.

  The reel control table of table number 02 is a table for pulling in the strong losing eye among the complete losing eyes described above, and is selected at a ratio of 2/100 at the time of losing other than the BB flag or the RB flag being established. The BB flag or the RB flag is selected at a rate of 40/100 in the established game.

  In addition, the reel control tables of table numbers 01 and 02 have a bell design of a reel that stops first (hereinafter referred to as a first stop reel) and a bell design of a reel that stops second (hereinafter referred to as a second stop reel). Is drawn into one of the winning lines, that is, the bell symbol is tempered, and the bell symbol of the first stop reel and the bell symbol of the second stop reel are displayed as a result of displaying the reel to be stopped last (hereinafter referred to as the third stop reel). The control content for drawing a symbol other than the bell symbol is defined in the winning line where the symbols are arranged.

  In the present embodiment, the loss when the reel control table with the table number 01 is selected, that is, the loss from which the weak loss is derived is referred to as a weak loss, and the reel control table with the table number 02 is selected. Loss, that is, a loss from which a strong loss eye is derived, is called a strong loss and is distinguished from each other.

  The reel control table of table number 03 is a table for preferentially drawing a combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” or “white 7-white 7-white 7” into any pay line. In the game where the BB flag is established, it is selected at a ratio of 50/100, and is selected at a ratio of 1/1 at the time of losing in the established state of the BB flag and when the bell flag is won. The reel control table of table number 04 is a table for preferentially drawing the combination of “BAR-BAR-BAR” into any winning line, and is selected at a ratio of 50/100 in the RB flag formation game. The ratio is selected at a rate of 1/1 when losing in the established state of the RB flag and when winning the bell flag.

  The reel control table of table number 05 is a table for drawing a combination of “cherry-any-any” into any winning line, and is selected when the cherry flag is won. The reel control table of table number 06 is a table for drawing a combination of “watermelon-watermelon-watermelon” preferentially to any winning line, and is selected when the watermelon flag is won.

  Further, the reel control tables of table numbers 07-01 to 07 are tables in which control patterns corresponding to the above-mentioned seven kinds of bell winning derivation conditions are separately determined, and the derivation conditions corresponding to each reel control table are as follows. This is a table for drawing a combination of “bell-bell-bell” into any winning line when a stop operation of each reel 2L, 2C, 2R is performed in a predetermined effective stop order. Table numbers 07-01 to 06 in which the order of left-middle-right, left-right-middle, middle-left-right, middle-right-left, right-middle-left, right-left-middle is determined as the order. The reel control table is selected at a ratio of 16/100 when the bell flag other than the established state of the BB flag or the RB flag is selected, and a table number in which all combinations of stop orders are determined as the effective stop order. 07-07 reel control table is selected at a ratio of 4/100 during Berufuragu winning than established state of the BB flag or RB flag. For this reason, the appearance rate of the Bell winning prize is about 1/5 of that when the Bell flag is won.

  The reel control table with table number 08 is a table for preferentially drawing a combination of “replay-replay-replay” into any winning line, and is selected when the replay flag is won.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the number of drawn symbols and the stop position for each symbol number of the left reel when the left reel is set to the first stop for each reel control table. In addition, the number of drawing-in in the figure indicates the number of drawn-in symbols when the stop operation is performed at the timing when the symbol with the corresponding symbol number is displayed at the reference position (the lower position of the fluoroscopic window 3 in this embodiment). The stop position indicates that the symbol stops at the reference position when the stop operation is performed at the timing when the symbol of the symbol number with “○” is displayed at the reference position, and “↑” When the stop operation is performed at the timing when the symbol with the symbol number is displayed at the reference position, the symbol with the symbol “○” closest to the “↑” direction is the reference. Indicates to stop at the position.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, the reel control tables other than the table numbers 01 and 02 are defined only at two places even if the maximum number of drawn symbols (four symbols in this embodiment) is large. On the other hand, in the reel control table of table number 01, the maximum number of drawn symbols is determined at three places (symbol numbers 4, 14, 19), and in the reel control table of table number 02, the maximum number of drawn symbols. Are defined in four places (symbol numbers 3, 9, 14, 19). Therefore, when the reel control table with the table number 01 is selected, when the stop operation is performed with the left reel as the first stop, compared to when the reel control table other than the table numbers 01 and 02 is selected, When the display result of the left reel is derived with the amount of fluctuation of the maximum number of drawn symbols, and when the reel control table of table number 02 is selected, when the stop operation is performed with the left reel as the first stop In addition, the rate at which the display result of the left reel is derived with the variation amount of the maximum number of drawn symbols is further increased.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of data contents of an internal winning command and a stop control command among commands transmitted from the main control unit 41 to the sub-control unit 91. In this embodiment, a 2-byte command is used, of which the first byte is called MODE and the second byte is called EXT.

  As shown in FIG. 8A, the internal winning command comprising MODE = 81 (H) and EXT = 00 to 45 (H) is a command indicating the winning status of the internal winning flag, and the start switch 7 is operated. Sent when

  As shown in FIG. 8B, in the EXT constituting the internal winning command, the second bit (bit 6) from the head indicates whether the BB flag is won or not, and the third bit (bit 5) from the head is the RB flag. The 4th to 8th bits (bit 4 to bit 0) from the top indicate whether or not the internal winning flag or replay flag corresponding to the small role winning is won (for example, “0” = losing, “1” = replay flag, “2” = cherry flag, “3” = watermelon flag, “4” = bell flag).

  A stop control command including MODE = 82 (H) and EXT = 01-1B (H) is a command indicating a reel control table selected by the reel control distribution process, and when the start switch 7 is operated, Sent after an internal winning command is sent.

  As shown in FIG. 8 (b), the EXT constituting the stop control command includes the second to eighth bits (bits 6 to 0) from the head of the reel control table selected by the reel control distribution process. Indicates the table number.

  In this embodiment, the condition for deriving the bell prize and whether the type of loss is strong loss or weak loss is determined according to the reel control table selected by the reel control distribution process. With the control command, the sub-control unit 91 can specify whether the Bell winning condition is derived and whether the type of loss is strong or weak.

  Specifically, since the reel control table is specified by the stop control command by receiving the stop control command after the sub control unit 91 receives the internal winning command indicating the winning of the bell flag, this specified Based on the reel control table, the conditions for deriving the bell prize can be specified. Further, since the reel control table is specified by the stop control command by receiving the stop control command after the sub control unit 91 receives the internal winning command indicating the loss, the sub control unit 91 is based on the specified reel control table. It is possible to specify whether it is strong or weak.

  In the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 is configured to be able to specify from the two commands of the internal winning command and the stop control command whether the derivation condition of the bell winning prize and the type of loss are strong loss or weak loss. The present invention is not limited to this, and it may be possible to specify both the winning status of the internal winning flag and the control pattern of the reel by only one command, for example, the internal winning command. Even in this case, the sub-control unit 91 can specify the derivation condition for the bell winning and whether the type of loss is strong loss or weak loss.

  FIG. 8D is a diagram showing an example of EXT data configured to be able to specify both the winning status of the internal winning flag and the reel control pattern only by the internal winning command.

  The 0th bit (bit 7) from the beginning of the EXT constituting this internal winning command indicates whether or not the BB flag is won, the second bit (bit 6) from the top indicates whether or not the RB flag is won, and 3 bits from the beginning. Bits to 5th bit (bits 5 to 3) indicate whether or not the internal winning flag or the replay flag corresponding to the small winning prize has been won (for example, “0” = losing, “1” = replay flag, “2”). = Cherry flag, "3" = Watermelon flag, "4" = Bell flag). The 6th to 8th bits (bits 2 to 0) from the beginning indicate values that can identify the table number of the reel control table selected by the reel control distribution process {for example, loss: “0” = Table number 01, “1” = Table number 02, BB flag winning: “0” = Table number 01, “1” = Table number 02, “2” = Table number 03, RB flag winning: “0” = Table Number 01, “1” = table number 02, “2” = table number 04, cherry flag (BB flag or RB flag) win: “0” = table number 05, watermelon flag (BB flag or RB flag) win: “0” = table number 06, BB flag / bell flag winning: “0” = table number 03, RB flag / bell flag winning: “0” = table number 04, bell Flag winning: “0” = table number 07-01, “1” = table number 07-02, “2” = table number 07-02, “3” = table number 07-04, “4” = table number 07 -05, “5” = table number 07-06, “6” = table number 07-07, replay flag winning: “0” = table number 08}.

  By receiving the internal winning command including the EXT data shown in FIG. 8C, the sub-control unit 91 can specify both the winning status of the internal winning flag and the reel control table. Based on the winning status of the winning flag and the reel control table, it is possible to specify the condition for deriving the bell winning, and whether the type of loss is strong or weak.

  In the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 mounted on the effect control board 90 generates a notification game state in which the effective stop order of the bell winnings is notified, so-called assist time (hereinafter referred to as AT). Is possible. In the AT game, when the bell flag is won, that is, when the generation of the bell winning is permitted, the effective stop order corresponding to the reel control table selected at that time using the reel lamp 55 and the liquid crystal display 51 is set. Informed. As a result, in a state other than AT, a bell winning can be generated only at a rate of 1/5 of the winning of the bell flag, whereas an occurrence of AT notifies the effective stop order of the bell winning. Therefore, by performing the stop operation of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R in accordance with the order, it becomes possible to generate all the bell winnings permitted by winning the bell flag without missing them.

  Next, the control flow of the sub-control unit 91 related to the occurrence of AT will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, whether or not to generate an AT when the result of the internal lottery process is a loss (excluding a loss in the established state of the BB flag or the RB flag) in a state not controlled by the AT (hereinafter referred to as a normal state). A notification game number selection process is performed to determine whether or not. In this notification game number selection process, an AT is generated by selecting the number of games (hereinafter also referred to as the number of notification games) to be notified of the effective stop order of the bell winning prize from a plurality of game numbers including 0 by random number lottery. Decide whether or not to The present invention is not limited to this. For example, a lottery for determining whether or not an AT is generated may be performed, and the number of notification games may be determined when the lottery is won. Further, it may be determined whether or not an AT is generated by determining the number of ATs generated from a plurality of times including 0. Alternatively, a lottery may be performed to determine whether or not an AT is generated, and the number of AT occurrences may be determined when the lottery is won.

  When the number of notification games exceeding 0 is selected in the notification game number selection process, an AT is generated, and the order in which the bell winnings are effectively stopped is notified over the number of notification games selected in the notification game number selection process.

  In addition, when the result of the internal lottery process is a losing during AT (except for the losing in the established state of the BB flag or the RB flag), the number of notification games is selected to determine whether or not to increase the number of notification games. Process. Also in the notification game number selection process performed here, it is determined whether or not to increase the notification game number by selecting the number of notification games from a plurality of game numbers including 0 by random number lottery. When the number of notification games exceeding 1 is selected, the selected number of notification games is added, that is, the selected number of notification games is added to the number of notification games remaining at that time, Announces the order in which the Bell prizes are effectively stopped.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating the selection rate of the number of notification games in the above-described notification game number selection process.

  In the AT lottery of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, the loss that triggered the notification game number selection process is a strong loss, that is, a loss that the reel control table of table number 02 is selected, or a weak loss, that is, a table. The number of notification games is selected at a different selection rate depending on whether the reel control table of number 01 is selected or not. For this reason, the occurrence probability of AT at the time of strong lose and the expected number of notification games (average number of notification games per strong loss), the occurrence probability of AT and the expected number of notification games at the time of weak lose ( The average number of notification games per weak losing) will differ, and as a result, the notification probability of the effective stop order of the bell prize will vary depending on whether the loss that triggered the AT lottery is strong or weak It becomes.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when it is determined that the display result without any winning is generated as a result of the internal lottery process, that is, whether or not an AT is generated in the event of a loss. The notification game number selection process is performed. That is, even when the result of the internal lottery process is lost, the player's expectation for occurrence of AT can be enhanced.

  In this embodiment, the probability of occurrence of AT varies depending on whether the loss that triggered the notification game number selection process is a strong loss or a weak loss. That is, even if the result of the internal lottery process is the same, the probability of occurrence of AT can be changed by the reel control table selected at that time, so that interest can be further enhanced.

  In this embodiment, the expected medal acquisition value varies depending on the number of notification games selected in the notification game number selection process, so that the game performance can be improved. The present invention is not limited to this. For example, by selecting the number of occurrences of AT from a plurality of times and generating AT for the selected number of times, the expected acquisition value of medals is changed. However, the same effect can be obtained. In this case, the number of notification games per AT may be fixed, but the game performance can be further enhanced by providing a plurality of notification games per AT.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the sub control unit 91 of this embodiment is provided with an effect pattern table in which an effect pattern corresponding to each table number and its selection rate are determined. An effect pattern determination process is executed to select a corresponding effect pattern in the effect pattern table based on the corresponding selection rate based on the table number specified from the stop control command received corresponding to the internal winning command from the control unit 41. Then, an effect corresponding to the effect pattern selected in the process is executed. In particular, in this embodiment, the reel control with a high ratio that the display result of the left reel is derived with the variation amount of the maximum number of drawn symbols compared with the reel control tables of table numbers 01 and 02, that is, other table numbers. When the production pattern B corresponding only to the table is selected, when the display result of the left reel is derived with the fluctuation amount of the maximum number of drawn symbols, a sound effect (slip sound effect) indicating that effect is generated. It is outputted and notified that the display result of the left reel is derived with the variation amount of the maximum number of drawn symbols.

  Thus, in the present embodiment, the sub control unit 91 selects an effect pattern corresponding to the table number specified from the stop control command at the selection rate corresponding to the table number, and based on the selected effect pattern Since the effect is executed, even if the result of the internal lottery process is the same, the content of the effect can be changed according to the reel control pattern selected at that time.

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

  First, when power is turned on, initialization is performed (Sb1). 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, it waits in a state waiting for receiving a command transmitted from the game control board 40 (Sb2).

  When a command is received in this state, it is confirmed whether the received command is an internal winning command (Sb3). In the case of an internal winning command, it waits in a state waiting for reception of a stop control command transmitted thereafter. (Sb4).

  When a stop control command is received in this state, whether or not the result of the internal lottery process is lost (except for the established state of the BB flag or RB flag) is confirmed based on the content of the corresponding internal winning command received. If it is lost (Sb5), the notification game number selection process described above is executed (Sb6).

  In addition, after receiving the stop control command in step Sb4, the above-described effect pattern determination process is executed regardless of whether or not the result of the internal lottery process is lost based on the content of the corresponding internal winning command received. (Sb7). In the effect pattern determination process, as described above, the effect pattern corresponding to the reel control table specified by the stop control command is selected at the corresponding selection rate, and the selected pattern is determined as the effect pattern of the game. If the number of notification games described above remains, an AT effect pattern is selected, and the selected pattern is determined as the effect pattern of the game. That is, when the bell flag is won, a pattern for informing the effective stop order of the bell flag is determined as an effect pattern of the game.

  Next, a control pattern table in which an effect pattern determined in step Sb7 and an effect control pattern corresponding to the command received from the game control board 40 are selected, and various effect parts are selected according to the selected control pattern table. After performing the effect execution process for performing the control (Sb8), the process waits again in the state of waiting for the command reception in step Sb2.

  If the command received in step Sb2 is other than the internal winning command, the process proceeds to step Sb8, and after executing the effect execution process described above, the process waits again in the state of waiting for command reception in step Sb2. .

  As described above, in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when the result of the internal lottery process is a loss, that is, when the notification game number selection process for determining whether or not to generate an AT is executed, a complete lose is triggered. When the derivation of the eyes is permitted, the reel control tables having the table numbers 01 and 02 with a high ratio in which the display result of the left reel is derived with a fluctuation amount (so-called slip) of a predetermined amount or more are selected. Therefore, the rate at which the display result of the left reel is derived with a large fluctuation increases, and the possibility that the result of the internal lottery process is a losing even for a player who is not familiar with the complete losing eye, that is, AT The possibility of making a decision on whether or not to generate an event can be reported in an easy-to-understand manner, so that the player's expectation for the occurrence of AT can be more effectively increased. Kill. Furthermore, when the result of the internal lottery process is a loss, that is, a notification game number selection process for determining whether or not to generate an AT when the derivation of a complete loss without allowing value addition such as a medal or a replay game is allowed Therefore, even when the display result of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R becomes a display result that is not profitable for the player, an opportunity for occurrence of AT can be obtained, so that interest can be enhanced.

  Further, in this embodiment, the reel control table with the table number 02 is also selected for the game in which the BB flag or the RB flag is established. Therefore, the display result of the left reel varies more than a predetermined amount although the ratio is low compared with the time of loss. Since the ratio derived with a higher value is obtained, the display result of the left reel is derived with a fluctuation of a predetermined amount or more, so that the player can expect the occurrence of BBs or RBs that can be expected to earn many medals. In addition to increasing the expectation, the possibility of losing even when the combination of BB winnings cannot be derived increases, that is, the possibility of having an opportunity to generate an AT increases. be able to.

  In this embodiment, the display result of the left reel is greater than or equal to a predetermined amount at the time of a loss that triggers the notification game number selection process for determining whether or not to generate an AT, or in the formation game of the BB flag or RB flag. Although the ratio derived with fluctuation increases, the display result of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R is derived with fluctuation of a predetermined amount or more at least in the event of a loss that triggers the notification game number selection process. It is only necessary that the ratio to be higher than when not losing.

  Also, in this embodiment, a display result is derived with a fluctuation of a predetermined amount or more by using a reel control table in which the number of drawn symbols of a predetermined amount or more is set larger than that of other reel control tables. For example, when the stop operation is performed, control is performed to determine the number of drawn symbols, and a predetermined amount is determined by determining the number of drawn symbols as much as possible. You may make it raise the ratio from which a display result is derived | led-out with the above fluctuation | variation.

  In this embodiment, when the reel control tables having the table numbers 01 and 02 are selected, the display result of the left reel is derived with a fluctuation of a predetermined amount or more. It is preferable to perform control for deriving a display result with a predetermined amount or more of fluctuation at the highest possible rate for the middle reel and the right reel, which may cause the result of the internal lottery processing to be lost or the BB flag. Alternatively, the possibility that the RB flag is won can be notified in an easy-to-understand manner.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the reel control tables having the table numbers 01 and 02 are selected, the ratio that the display result of the left reel is derived with a change in the maximum number of drawn symbols increases. The possibility that the result may be lost or the possibility that the BB flag or the RB flag is won can be notified more easily.

  In this embodiment, the maximum number of drawn symbols is applied as the predetermined amount. However, a variation amount (for example, three symbols) less than the maximum number of drawn symbols may be applied as the predetermined amount.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the reel control tables of the table numbers 01 and 02 are selected, the bell design of the first stop reel and the bell design of the second stop reel are made to temper and the display result of the third stop reel is displayed. As a result, control is performed so that a symbol other than the bell symbol is drawn into the winning line where the bell symbol of the first stop reel is tempered, and the bell prize is obtained until display results are derived for all the reels 2L, 2C, 2R. As a result, the expectation for medal acquisition can be maintained, and even when the combination of the display results is not the combination of winning the bell, the possibility of loss, that is, AT occurs. It is possible to maintain the player's expectation until the end because there is a higher chance that an opportunity has been obtained and the possibility that the BB flag or RB flag is won Kill.

  In this embodiment, control for making the bell symbol tempering when lost is performed, but symbols constituting other winnings (for example, BB winning, RB winning, watermelon winning, replay winning, etc.) are displayed. Even if the control is performed, the same effect can be obtained.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the reel control tables having the table numbers 01 and 02 are selected, the reel control table, that is, the control with a high ratio in which the display result is derived with the fluctuation of the predetermined amount or more is supported. Since an effect based on the effect pattern B (for example, an effect that outputs a slip sound in accordance with the derivation of the display result) is executed, the possibility that the result of the internal lottery process may be lost or the BB flag or the RB flag is won The possibility of being informed can be reported more easily.

  In this embodiment, the probability of occurrence of AT varies depending on whether the loss that triggered the notification game number selection process is a strong loss or a weak loss. That is, even if the result of the internal lottery process is the same, the probability of occurrence of AT can be changed by the reel control table selected at that time, so that interest can be further enhanced. Further, since the display result is derived with a greater amount of variation than the weak loss with a greater amount of variation than the weak loss, when the display result is derived with a large amount of variation, It is possible to effectively increase the player's expectation.

  In this embodiment, when the result of the internal lottery process is lost, the notification game number selection process, that is, whether or not to generate an AT is determined at a rate of 100%, but at least the result of the internal lottery process It is sufficient to determine whether or not to generate an AT on the condition that the loss is a loss, for example, to determine whether or not to generate an AT only in the case of a strong loss or a strong loss. Anyway.

  In this embodiment, control related to the occurrence of AT and control of performance are performed by the sub-control unit 91 different from the main control unit 41, so that the control load of the main control unit 41 that controls the game is reduced. Can do.

  Further, in this embodiment, the probability of the loss is set lower than the winning probability of the main flag having the highest allowable probability, that is, the bell flag that allows the generation of the Bell winning, so whether or not to generate the AT By increasing the rarity of the gap that triggers the decision, it becomes possible to add clarity to the flow of the game and enhance the interest.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the drawings, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and modifications and additions within the scope of the present invention are included in the present invention. Needless to say.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, an AT is used as a benefit that is advantageous to the player, in which an announcement condition of the bell prize is notified. For example, the probability that the occurrence of a replay prize is allowed is higher than that in the normal gaming state. Even if the replay time (RT) with high probability, the combination of RT and AT, and the internal winning flag is not won, control to avoid the combination of winning symbols (so-called kicking control) is not performed. A challenge time (CT) or the like that can generate a prize by pushing the player may be applied as a privilege advantageous to the player.

  Further, when a BB flag or RB flag that allows generation of a BB or RB that is advantageous to the player is won, a BB winning or RB winning permitted by the internal winning flag is awarded. It is possible to easily carry out BB winning or RB winning allowed by the internal winning flag carried over by releasing the disabled state by carrying over after the next game by controlling to the disabled state where generation is impossible or difficult In a slot machine that is controlled to a possible state, the cancellation of these impossible states may be applied as a privilege. That is, when it is allowed to have a specific display result by the internal lottery process (for example, at the time of losing), it is determined whether to cancel the disabled state, and a specific display result is allowed. Sometimes the display result may be derived at a high rate with a fluctuation of a predetermined amount or more, and in this way, the disallowed state is canceled when a specific display result is allowed. The player can know that an opportunity to cancel the disabled state is obtained by deriving a specific display result as the display result of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R. This makes it possible to increase the player's expectation for the occurrence of BB and RB. Furthermore, when a specific display result is allowed, the percentage of the display result that is derived with a large amount of variation (so-called slip) becomes high, and for players who are not familiar with the specific display result. However, since the possibility that a specific display result is permitted can be notified in an easy-to-understand manner, the player's expectation for the occurrence of BB or RB can be more effectively enhanced.

  In the above embodiment, a normal slot machine capable of playing a game using medals and credits is used as the game value. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the game value is pachinko. Slot machines that use balls to play games, complete credit-type slot machines that can be played using credits without medals being discharged to the outside, and image-type displays with variable display devices displayed as images Needless to say, the present invention is also applicable to slot machines, and the types of these gaming machines are not limited.

  Each element in the embodiment corresponds to the present invention as follows.

  Claim 1 of the present invention allows a game to be started by setting a predetermined number of bets for one game, and is capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information (designs) that can be individually identified. A slot machine 1 in which one game is completed by displaying and displaying the display results of the display devices (reels 2L, 2C, and 2R), and a winning can be generated according to the display results of the variable display device, Derivation operation means (stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R) for deriving and displaying the display result of the variable display device by the player's operation, and generation of the winning before the display result of the variable display device is derived and displayed The player is provided with a pre-determining means {main control unit 41 (internal lottery process)} for deciding whether to allow or not, and the pre-determining means has made the determination of losing. Privilege grant determining means for determining whether or not a privilege (AT) different from the value (medal, replay game, BB, RB) obtained by the occurrence of the winning is given {sub control unit 91 ( Notification game number selection processing)} and derivation control means {main control for performing control for deriving the display result of the variable display device in accordance with the determination result of the prior determination means when the derivation operation means is operated Unit 41 (reel stop processing)}, and the derivation control means derives the display result with a fluctuation amount less than a predetermined amount (maximum number of drawn symbols: 4 symbols) after the derivation operation means is operated. Special derivation control means for performing special derivation control (control based on the reel control tables of table numbers 01 and 02) for deriving the display result with a variation amount equal to or greater than the predetermined amount at a higher rate than The special derivation controlling means, when the determination of the out is made, carry out the special derivation control at a higher rate than when the decision was made to allow the occurrence of the winning.

  According to claim 2 of the present invention, special game state generating means {main control for generating a special game state (BB, RB) advantageous to the player when a special winning (combination of BB winning, RB winning) has occurred. Section 41 (game state update process)}, and the special derivation control means {main control section 41 (reel stop process)} is further determined to allow the occurrence of the special prize by the prior determination means Even in the case of a (BB flag or RB flag establishment game), a higher percentage than the case where the decision to allow the occurrence of a prize other than the special prize (cherry prize, watermelon prize, bell prize, replay prize) is made. Special derivation control (control based on the reel control tables of table numbers 01 and 02) is performed.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, the derivation control means {main control unit 41 (reel stop processing)} until the display result is derived after the derivation operation means (stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R) is operated. And the special derivation control (control based on the reel control tables of table numbers 01 and 02) is performed within the range of the maximum fluctuation amount (maximum number of drawn symbols: 4 symbols) set to the predetermined amount or more. This is control for deriving the display result with the maximum variation amount at a higher rate than deriving the display result with a variation amount less than the maximum variation amount after the deriving operation means is operated.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the variable display device includes a plurality of variable display portions (reels 2L, 2C, and 2R) for deriving independent independent display results, and the display results of the variable display device include the plurality of display results.
