Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine, and more specifically, has a display means that can display the symbols in a variable manner, accepts the insertion of gaming media, enables a game, draws a role, and displays the symbols by an instruction to stop the player The present invention relates to a gaming machine that stops a display and plays a game.

  Conventionally, a revolving type game machine generally called a pachislot machine, when a predetermined number of medals are inserted and then a start lever is operated, a revolving unit (also called a drum) with a reel attached to the surface is rotated a plurality of times. At the same time, a lottery will be drawn through an internal program. The reel has a symbol row in which a plurality of symbols are arranged. Based on the winning lottery result, a symbol that can be stopped on a predetermined effective line, which will be described later, is determined, the reel is stopped by a player's instruction to stop reel rotation, and the combination of symbols that are stopped on the effective line is determined. Thus, a predetermined game value is given to the player. Some documents disclose a general mechanical structure of a swivel type gaming machine (for example, see Patent Documents 1 to 7).

  In addition, there is also known a gaming machine having a game mode similar to that of a revolving type gaming machine using a gaming ball for a gaming machine generally called a pachinko machine instead of a medal. Several documents disclose a general mechanical structure of the gaming machine using a game ball (see, for example, Patent Documents 8 and 9).

  In the following, an outline of the gaming mode of an example of a standard spinning cylinder type gaming machine will be described with reference to FIGS. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the location which has the same function in each drawing, and duplication of description is abbreviate | omitted.

  FIG. 17 is an example of an overview of a conventional spinning machine 1700. In FIG. 17, when a player inserts a predetermined number of medals into the medal insertion slot 1704, one of the winning line displays 1705 to 1709 and a maximum of five activated lines are activated according to the number of inserted medals. Become. For example, when a single medal is inserted, only the winning line display 1705 becomes an effective line, when two medals are inserted, three winning line displays 1705 to 1707 become effective lines, and when three medals are inserted, a maximum of five winning line displays 1705 to 1709 are displayed. The book becomes the active line.

  Thereafter, when the player operates the start lever 1719 (start lever ON), the reels 1802 to 1804 in the display windows 1701 to 1703 arranged in three horizontal rows in order from the left start to rotate from top to bottom (the rotation speed is steady). About 80 rpm). Simultaneously with the rotation of the reel, so-called winning and winning of a combination (losing, winning of a combination) is determined by an internal program lottery.

  The reel has a symbol row in which a plurality of symbols are arranged. Each of the left, middle, and right reels 1802 to 1804 rotating in the display windows 1701 to 1703 has, for example, symbols 7, c, b, s, r. , Z are arranged at 21 points on the outer periphery of the reel. Each reel rotates in the display windows 1701-1703 from top to bottom.

  Each combination is a combination of three rows of symbols that can be aligned on the active line. The types of roles include a special prize that allows a player to win a relatively large amount of medals by arranging specific symbols on the active line, and a relatively small amount such as an arrangement on the active line of symbol c. There are other prizes (hereinafter referred to as small roles) for paying out medals (including replay). In addition, there is a small role that only requires that a specific symbol of the left reel 1802 stops on the active line regardless of the symbol arrangement. The special prize is called a big character for a small character in the sense of a kind of character, and is generally called a bonus for a player or the like. The bonus is an advantageous state in which a predetermined game value is given to the player (specifically, a state where a large amount of medals can be acquired in a relatively short time by a jackpot operation).

  The bonus includes, for example, a big bonus (hereinafter referred to as BB) that allows the player to acquire a large number of medals by aligning the symbols 7 on the active line, and, for example, the player having the symbols b aligned on the active line. There is a regular bonus (hereinafter referred to as RB) that can earn a large amount of medals.

  Hereafter, the arrangement on the effective line of the symbol c as described above is referred to as a winning combination of the small role c, and the alignment on the effective line of the symbol 7 and the symbol b is referred to as winning of the BB and winning of the RB, respectively.

  The RB normally plays a JAC game that can earn about 110 medals once. BB can digest 30 BB games, and can win RB up to 3 times during that time. The BB ends when the RB game is played three times (the JAC game is played three times) or when the BB game is digested 30 times.

  The program of a spinning machine is usually set so that a small role is won with a higher probability than a bonus. Further, the program controls a flag corresponding to each of the above-mentioned roles (default is OFF), and turns on the flag of the combination when the combination is won (establishment of the combination flag).

  In particular, when the bonus flag is ON during a general game that is not in the BB game, the player is usually notified of the establishment of the bonus flag, that is, the bonus winning. The notification includes reach eyes (a combination of specific symbols stops at a specific position in the display window, and appears only when the bonus flag is established), flashing display window, sound, lighting of notification lamp, etc. .

  Recently, as shown in FIG. 17, there is also a revolving type game machine that provides an effect of notifying the establishment of a bonus flag on an image display device 1731 having a variable display device such as a liquid crystal display device (hereinafter, LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)). .

  FIG. 17 also shows an example of notification of establishment of, for example, the BB flag by reach. The reach in FIG. 17 indicates that the player did not properly align the symbol 7 on the active line when the BB flag was established, and therefore the spinning type gaming machine is not normally aligned on the winning line display 1705 of the active line 7, b, This is an example in which the arrangement of 7 symbols is stopped as a reach and the establishment of the BB flag is announced.

  Alternatively, in FIG. 17, for example, when the BB flag is established, after the player does not align the symbol 7 on the active line, the spinning machine turns on the notification lamp 229 to notify the establishment of the BB flag.

  The current spinning cylinder game machine performs reel control (reel pull-in control, reel control at the time of loss) as described below when stopping the rotating reel. When a player presses the stop buttons 1720 to 1722 to stop the rotation of the reel while the flag of a certain role is ON, the symbol related to the flag ON role (the flag ON role) As a result, the symbol wins as a result. The player pays out the number of medals corresponding to the winning combination on the active line, and one game is completed.

  Alternatively, when the player presses the stop buttons 1720 to 1722 to stop the rotation of the reel, the desired role required for the effect of the appearance (the combination of symbols stopped in the display window) within the range in which the “reel pull-in control” works. As a result of aligning the symbols on the active line, the winning combination is won.

  Here, the reel pull-in control is performed within the predetermined number of frames from the timing when the stop button is pressed (up to 4 frames in the current spinning-reel game machine regulations), and the symbol related to the winning is the effective line related to the winning prize. Control the reel stop so that it pulls up. According to the current spinning cylinder game machine regulations, the time from when the stop button is pressed to when the reels stop is determined to be 190 ms or less.

  On the other hand, since the flags of all the roles are OFF when the role is not properly selected, even if the player presses the stop buttons 1720 to 1722 and stops the rotation of the reel aiming at the symbol of the specific role, the “reel control at the time of loss” Since "" works, the symbols of any combination are not aligned on the active line and the defeat is determined, and one game ends.

  In the reel pull-in control, aiming at the symbol of the role to be stopped on the effective line related to the winning combination, pressing the stop button within the range in which the reel pull-in control including the symbol works, so-called “eye-push” is performed. A skilled player (skilled person) who is good at skillfully can arrange the symbols of the roles on the effective line at a high frequency.

  On the other hand, for example, if the player presses the stop buttons 1720 to 1722 at a position where there is no symbol of the small role c within the range where the pull-in control of the reel works, despite the fact that the small role c flag is ON, the reel pull-in control The symbol of the combination c is not drawn on the effective line, and the symbol based on the reel that has been pressed or the reels within 4 frames at the maximum when the stop button is pressed is aligned on the effective line.

  For example, if the player presses the stop button at a position where there is no symbol 7 within the range where the reel pull-in control works, even after the BB flag is established, that is, even if the BB flag is ON, the reel pull-in control Thus, the symbol 7 is not drawn on the effective line, and the symbol based on the pressed state or the symbol based on the slip of the reel within 4 frames at the maximum when the stop button is pressed are aligned on the effective line. In this case, symbols other than symbol 7 (for example, symbol b) are drawn on the effective line by the reel pull-in control, and a plurality of symbols that are not normally aligned (for example, 7, b, 7) are stopped on the effective line. The establishment of the BB flag may be announced, which is the above reach.

  A player (beginner) who is not good at pressing tends to cause such a combination to be unable to be aligned on the active line, that is, so-called “missing” of the combination.

  Recently, however, an increasing number of revolving type gaming machines are equipped with a small role notification function for notifying the formation of a small role flag during a general game or a BB game (small role notification). For example, a swivel-type gaming machine that displays a small combination with a flag on an image display device is also manufactured.

  Therefore, in a spinning-reel game machine that announces the establishment of the winning combination flag as described above, the skilled player can reliably win the winning combination aiming at the symbol of the notified winning combination, and can reliably acquire medals during the game. It is. In addition, since intermediate players can play games by concentrating on the announced symbols, even if there are some missing small roles, this is a revolving game machine that does not announce the formation of the flag of the role in the game. Compared to this, the frequency of missing small roles is reduced, and medals can be obtained with certainty during the game.

  Note that the small combination flag is turned OFF when the combination is missed, but the BB (or RB) flag is generally carried over while the BB (or RB) wins.

  FIG. 18 is a diagram illustrating reel pull-in control. When the reels 1802 and 1803 are stopped and the symbol 7 is lined up on the pay line display 1705 of the active line, the player stops the reel 1804. Indicates. In this case, when the symbol c in the figure 1810 reaches the winning line display 1705, the player presses the stop button 1722, and with the assistance of the reel pull-in control, the winning line display 1705 in which the symbol 715 is the effective line. Stops and wins BB. According to the current spinning cylinder game machine regulations, the time from when the stop button is pressed until the symbol is drawn and the reel stops is 190 ms or less.

  At present, most of the revolving type gaming machines on the market have a gaming state such as “in general game”, “in BB game”, “in JAC game”, etc. The game state is “in general game”, and “in BB game” and “in JAC game” can acquire a large number of medals in a relatively short time.

  During the general game, a winning combination of a small role and a bonus (BB, RB, etc.) is drawn. In addition, during the BB game, a winning combination of a small role and a specific role (hereinafter referred to as a JAC-in role) for shifting from the BB game to the JAC game (so-called JAC in) is drawn. Here, the JAC in combination is generally the same as the small combination “replay” in the general game in which replay symbols are arranged.

  In addition, during the JAC game, a winning combination of only a special role (an accessory) is drawn. Here, the “combination” in the swing type gaming machine is a winning combination that is permitted only during the JAC game (different from a gaming machine called a pachinko machine). At the time of winning a prize, for example, 15 medals are paid out. In general, the JAC game is completed by winning a prize of up to 8 prizes or using up to 12 games.

  In the general game, both the small role and the bonus are set lower in the lottery probability than in the BB game. In the BB game, the lottery probability of the small role is set higher than in the general game. In the case, the objects are drawn with a high probability, and the symbols constituting the objects are easily arranged and arranged on the reel.

  Here, in the general game, both the small role and the bonus are set to have a low lottery probability, and in the JAC game, the winning characters are drawn with a high probability and arranged on the reels so that they can be easily aligned. As a result, during the general game and the JAC game, the number of medals that the player can acquire does not differ greatly depending on the skill level.

  However, if the reels are arranged in such a way that it is difficult to arrange a small role, a beginner may not be able to win the small role and may not be able to earn a medal as a prize. The lottery probability of the small role is set higher than that in the general game, so that the difference between the beginner and the expert becomes remarkable. In addition, since there is a game technique in the BB game called “Replay Hazushi (described later)”, there may be a difference in the number of medals that can be obtained depending on the skill level of the player. In this way, the current situation is that superiority or inferiority of the game is obtained between the beginner and the skilled person by the intervention of success technique and its success or failure.

The BB end condition for a standard swivel game machine is
Termination condition (1): BB game is digested to the maximum allowable number of times (currently 30 games)
Or
Termination condition (2): digest JAC in to the maximum allowable number of times (currently 3 times)
It is a condition that.

  During a BB game, up to 30 BB games (BB medium and small role games) with a high probability of drawing a small role can be played. During this game, a JAC in role (generally, a small role “Replay”) If a similar replay symbol arrangement is won, JAC is entered and a JAC game is entered. In accordance with the above end condition (2), after the third JAC game digestion, the BB ends, and the remaining game count of the BB game (30 games—digested BB game count) becomes invalid.

  Here, intentionally avoiding the third JAC in winning prize several times, increasing the number of digestion BB games as much as possible within the above end condition (1), and then performing the third JAC game digestion, There is a gaming technique that increases the number of medals that can be earned. The technology that intentionally avoids the winning of the above-mentioned JAC in role is called “Replay Hazushi” because the JAC in role generally has the same replay pattern as the small role “Replay”. ing.

  Recently, in the above-mentioned standard swivel-type game machine, despite the fact that the small role flag has been announced to the image display device or the like for the small role that has been missed, the small role has been accurately looked for. When a small role is not won, the notification is false, and a mechanism for determining that a bonus flag has been established (bonus flag notification effect for missing a small role) is incorporated.

  In addition, the above-mentioned standard revolving game machine has a sub game as an additional function different from the main game related to winning / non-winning of a role, and can be transferred to the sub game under predetermined conditions such as lottery. A torso game machine is on the market. Examples of sub games include RT (Replay Time), AT (Assist Time), CT (Challenge Time), and various other sub games. These sub games mainly provide the player with an advantageous state in which the frequency of winning a winning combination is increased during the general game.

  Here, each of RT, AT, and CT will be described. In addition, since RT, AT, and CT are functions well known to those skilled in the art in the conventional swivel game machine, the following is a schematic description thereof.

  RT is a state in which the probability of a small role “replay” in which the gaming state is about one-seventh during a general game until the predetermined end condition is greatly increased. For this reason, since replays are won frequently and the number of BETs can be saved, it is difficult to reduce medals. During this time, the player can expect to win a bonus without reducing medals.

  On the other hand, in the general game, when the small role flag such as replay is established, the stop order of the left, center, and right reels (the specific order in which the player should press the stop button, hereinafter referred to as the specific press order) In some cases, only when the reels are stopped in the specific pressing order, the small player with the flag established wins on the active line. When such a model has the RT function, the replay winning condition is “replay flag establishment + specific pressing order”, so the replay flag is frequently established during RT, but the reel stop order is internal. Since the replay wins only when it coincides with the specific pressing order determined in (1), the player usually does not know that the replay flag is established.

  In such a model, even if a bonus flag is established during RT, the reel pull-in control is preferentially processed for the replay flag and other small part flags that are frequently won, not the bonus symbol. Bonus symbols are not available. Therefore, since there is no opportunity to process the established bonus flag during RT, it is substantially the same as having stocked (stored or stored) the bonus flag. Such a “replay winning condition is“ replay flag established + specific press order ”and a spinning cylinder with RT function” can stock a number of bonus flags until the RT is completed. is called. In the stock machine, after the RT is over, the player can digest the bonuses for the number of established bonus flags (sequential bonus release) and obtain a large number of medals.

  As for the current stock machine, in addition to the above-mentioned reach eyes and notification lamps, there are continuous effects by the image display device 1731 etc., RT release selection when a specific small role flag is established, etc. It is common. Several documents disclose the structure of gaming machines related to stock machines (see, for example, Patent Documents 10, 11, and 12).

  The AT is a “small role notification state in which a small role flag is frequently established” during the “general game”. For the AT, the main control unit sends a small role flag to the image display device 1731 or the like via the sub-control unit for a small role that has been missed for a predetermined number of games (for example, 10 games) during the general game. An instruction is sent to notify the establishment of (in the sense of navigation for a small role, generally referred to as a small role navigation). For this reason, it is easy to win a small role by pushing according to the small role navigation, and the net number of medals increases. Furthermore, during this time, the player can expect to win a bonus while increasing the net number of medals.

  The determination of shifting to the AT is generally executed by a sub-control unit that performs processing related to a game effect based on an instruction from a main control unit that controls the entire spinning-reel game machine. For example, in the sub-control unit, there is a revolving type gaming machine in which the lottery for shifting to the AT is performed based on the result of establishment / non-establishment of the combination flag input from the main control unit to the sub-control unit. For example, when the main control unit is notified of the absence of a winning flag (losing) from the main control unit, the sub control unit performs a lottery for shifting to the AT.

  The sub-control unit counts the number of games for which the bonus flag has not been established, and when the number of games reaches a predetermined upper limit value (the number of so-called ceiling games), the sub-control unit easily shifts to AT. There is also a spinning machine that makes a transition to AT or unconditionally makes a transition to AT.

  In addition, in a spinning-type gaming machine in which a small role in which a flag is established is awarded on an active line only when the reels are stopped in the specific pressing order described above, a specification in which a small role flag is frequently established during a general game. In some models, when the player's reel stop order coincides with the specific pressing order determined inside by chance, a small role winning is achieved.

  In this specification, during AT, a specific pressing order of reels is announced when a small role flag is established (in general, it is called push order navigation in the sense of navigation in a specific pressing order), and the order according to the pressing order navigation (for example, middle (→ Right → Left) There is a model that automatically wins a small role automatically if the reel is stopped. When the player does not stop the reels in the order in accordance with the push order navigation, such an AT machine ends the one game without arranging the small role symbols despite the small role flag being established.

  CT stops reel control (reel pull-in control, reel control when lost) for some or all reels and increases the level of technical intervention by the player is there. As an example of CT, for example, the reel control is not performed for a predetermined number of games (for example, for 150 games), and the reel is immediately stopped at the timing when the player presses the target. For this reason, as long as the correct aim is made, it is possible to expect a larger number of small winnings than when the game state is in the general game.

  As an example of CT, for example, when the net increase in medals during that period exceeds a predetermined number (for example, 200), or when the predetermined number of games (for example, 150 games) has been consumed, the process ends. It is also terminated when the bonus flag is established. When the bonus flag or the replay flag is established during CT, the drawing-in control of the reels is performed for the symbols of those roles. On the other hand, if those symbols are pressed when the bonus flag or replay flag in CT is not established, the reel control at the time of losing acts on the symbols of those roles, and the bonus symbols pressed Or replay symbols are not aligned on the active line.

  In addition, in the above-mentioned standard revolving game machine, if the navigation is performed in the push order during the BB game and the reels are stopped in the order according to the push order navigation (for example, right → middle → left), There is a model that avoids JAC in even if the JAC in combination flag is established and automatically wins a small combination or automatically performs replay scratch. In such a model, if the player does not stop the reels in the order in accordance with the push order navigation, the JAC in will be performed if the JAC in combination flag is established, but the player follows the push order navigation. When the reels are stopped in order, the player can acquire a large number of medals by easy replay.

  As described above, a variety of models based on various gaming specifications have been put on the market for the current spinning-type gaming machines.

JP-A-9-313670 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-47352 JP 2000-140206 A JP 2000-126370 A JP 2000-126369 A JP-A-11-29502 JP 2000-354 A JP-A-5-7642 Japanese Patent No. 26131181 JP 2003-79820 A JP 2003-154062 A JP 2003-175156 A

  However, among the current gaming machines as described above, especially for stock machines, only the reach of the reels can be expected, and since the bonus flag is not established, a normal game that does not reach reach, A normal game when there is no development of continuous production by the image display device or the like or lighting of the notification lamp is not expected to be expected at all.

  For this reason, in the gaming machines as described above, the above-mentioned conventional technology has not yet improved in that the expectation in normal games is not enough to match the attractiveness of the ball-out characteristic of continuous bonus release. There was room.

  The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine in which a sense of expectation in a normal game is improved and a player's technical intervention level is increased. .

  In order to achieve such an object, the gaming machine of the present invention has a display means capable of displaying a variable display of a symbol sequence consisting of a plurality of symbols, and the number of games according to the number of game media inserted and betted. An effective line is defined on the display means, and a winning combination is determined from the combination consisting of a major role and a minor role, and a game is started by the start of the variable display, and a stop instruction from a player If the symbol is displayed on the active line so as to constitute the winning combination, the variable display is stopped and the winning combination is awarded, and a predetermined game value is given to the player corresponding to the winning combination A first control means (508, FIG. 11, other embodiment 3) for controlling a first state in which a winning combination can be won, wherein a predetermined display of symbols, Predetermined display that does not constitute any of a plurality of roles in advance When the symbol display is the predetermined display set in the setting information (S1170 → S1171), the first state is changed from the first state to the first state. And a second control means for controlling the second state (the stock machine is a stock machine), which is capable of making a transition to the second state (S1175 → S1145 → S1190 → return or other embodiment 3). 508 and FIG. 10, AT machine is 511, FIG. 14 and other embodiment 3), and the second state is a state in which the frequency of winning a winning combination is higher than the first state. Means.

  Here, the first state is a state in which one or more pieces of information on the winning big actor can be stored without allowing the symbols to be displayed on the active line so as to constitute the winning big role (FIG. 11). ), The second state is a state in which a symbol is permitted to be displayed on the active line so as to constitute the elected major player based on the information of the elected major player stored in the first state. (FIG. 10).

  Further, the first control means may include setting means (508, S1148) for setting the setting information at intervals of the number of games.

  Further, the information processing device may further include notification means (508, S1158, 431) for notifying the setting information.

  Further, the first control means, when the display of the symbol when the variable display is stopped is the predetermined display set in the setting information, performs a lottery for the bonus and wins the lottery In this case, it may be characterized by having transition means (508, S1173 → S1175) for transitioning from the first state to the second state.

  In addition, the code | symbol etc. in the figure in embodiment corresponding to the component of a claim are shown by (). However, the constituent elements described in the claims are not limited to the constituent elements in the embodiment of the above () part.

  As described above, according to the present invention, if a predetermined display that is set in advance appears, it is possible to shift to a state where the frequency of winning a winning combination is further increased, so that reach eyes and special effects do not appear. Expectation can also be obtained in the game, and the transition to the above-described state can be achieved by aiming at the above-mentioned predetermined display by the player's symbol stop technique.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the location which has the same function in each drawing, and duplication of description is abbreviate | omitted. In addition, the basic mechanical structure of the spinning machine can be the same as the conventional example as described in the above-mentioned background art and the literature on the spinning machine described therein. The description is limited only to the constituent parts related to the present invention and the supplemental parts thereof.

FIG. 4 shows an overview of the swivel type gaming machine of the present embodiment. In FIG. 4, the swivel type gaming machine 400 of this embodiment includes display windows 401, 402, 403, reels 602, 603, 604 (hereinafter, first, second and third reels or left, middle and right reels in order). ), Medal slot 404, winning line display 405, 406, 407, 408, 409, effective line LED (light emitting diode) 410, 411, 412, 413, 414, credit (reserved) number display device 415, bet (BET) buttons 416, 417, 418, start lever 419, stop buttons 420, 421, 422, payout number display device 423, medal discharge port 424, medal tray 425, status lamp 426, speaker 427, checkout button 428, and notification A lamp 429, a game counter display device 430, an image display device 431, and the like are included.

  The display windows 401, 402, and 403 are transparent windows on the front panel arranged in three horizontal rows, and display three symbols when the reels 602, 603, and 604 that rotate inside are stopped. The spinning cylinder game machine of this embodiment rotates a drum having a reel on the surface. The symbols of the reels 602, 603, and 604 that rotate in this way are variably displayed on the display windows 401, 402, and 403.

  In this specification, “rotation” means physical rotation of a structure such as a drum or a reel, and “variation display” means physical display and virtual display by an image display device. Regardless of whether or not, it is intended to display changes in symbols and images.

  The reel has a symbol row in which a plurality of symbols are arranged, and each of the left, middle, and right reels 602 to 604 that rotates within the display windows 401 to 403 has, for example, symbols 7, c, b, s, r, z is arranged at 21 points on the outer periphery of the reel. The reel rotates in the display windows 401 to 403 from top to bottom. Each reel is controlled to rotate and stop by a symbol display device 512 (described later with reference to FIG. 5). The symbol display device 512 has a backlight (not shown), whereby each reel is illuminated brightly from the inside during the game. The reel symbol configuration will be described later with reference to FIG.

(Description of operation)
In the system configuration described above, the contents of the game of the swivel type gaming machine 400 of the present embodiment will be described below with reference to FIGS. Note that the range in which the reel pull-in control works is within 4 frames in accordance with the current spinning cylinder game machine regulations.

  The revolving type gaming machine 400 of the present embodiment is a revolving type gaming machine having an RT function under the replay winning conditions “replay flag establishment + specific pressing order” as described in the background art above. It is a stock machine that can stock any number of bonus flags until RT is finished. In such a stock machine, after the RT ends (RT cancellation), the player can digest the bonus for the number of established bonus flags and can acquire a large number of medals. In addition to the conventional RT termination condition (RT cancellation winning when a specific small role flag is established, RT cancellation by digesting a predetermined number of games during RT), the spinning-reel type gaming machine 400 of this embodiment does not release RT during RT. It is characterized in that an opportunity to cancel RT occurs even when an eye is set and the release event appears.

  The player inserts 1 to 3 medals from the medal insertion slot 404, or presses the bet buttons 416 to 418 to insert 1 to 3 medals from the credit medals, and turns on some of the effective lines LEDs 410 to 414. Thus, a normal game is played with some of the 1-5 lines of the winning line displays 405-409 as active lines.

  Here, inserting a medal and setting one of the winning line displays 405 to 409 as an active line is hereinafter referred to as BET (betting) or “BET”, and the number of medals inserted at the time of BET is the number of BETs or BETs. The n games are called “n-games” games. Also, the JAC in combination is arranged in a replay pattern r similar to the small combination “replay”. Furthermore, the special combination (combination) in the JAC game is also arranged in a replay pattern r similar to the small combination “replay”.

  The contents of the game of the rotating type gaming machine 400 will be described. When the player inserts three or more medals from the medal insertion slot 404, the five lines of the winning line display 405 to 409 are effective lines, and the BET number is three, the BET is performed as usual. .

  On the other hand, when there is a display (credit number) on the credit number display device 415, the player presses the bet button 418 to set the BET number to three with the five lines of the winning line displays 405 to 409 as effective lines. There are also cases where the user tries to insert three medals from the credit medal. If the player continues the game by repeating this operation, the game is continued with a BET with a BET number of 3 until the credit is continuously displayed until the display (credit number) of the credit number display device 415 becomes less than 3. It is possible.

  At the same time that the player operates the start lever 419 to rotate the reels 602, 603, and 604, the main control unit 508 draws a bonus. When the BB (or RB) flag is established as a result of the lottery, the established bonus flag is once stocked. The spinning-reel type gaming machine 400 of this embodiment is normally in RT, and after RT is released, the established bonus flags are taken out one by one, and a lamp display is displayed via the sub-control unit 511 at a certain frequency each time. An instruction is sent to the device 514 and the notification lamp 429 is turned on to notify the player that the bonus flag has been established.

  Thereafter, the player stops the reels 602, 603, and 604. When the player wins BB (or RB), the main control unit 508 sends an instruction to the lamp display device 514 via the sub control unit 511, turns off the notification lamp 429, and stops the notification of establishment of the bonus flag.

  Further, in one game from when the player operates the start lever 419 to rotate and stop the reels 602, 603, 604, the main control unit 508 sends the speaker 427 to the sound effect generator 515 via the sub control unit 511. An instruction may be sent to generate a normal sound effect, or an instruction may be sent to the lamp display device 514 to switch the backlight of the symbol display device 512 to white light or red light.

  For example, the player digests the BB game after winning the BB prize. In this embodiment, the game counter display device 430 displays the digestible BB game remaining number of times during the BB game and the digestible JAC in remaining number of times in the BB game. However, during the JAC game, the game counter display device 430 displays the number of winning combinations (maximum of 8).

  In this embodiment, when either the BB game remaining number or the JAC in remaining number displayed on the game counter display device 430 becomes 0 game, the BB ends and the gaming state returns to the general game.

  In addition, the swivel type gaming machine 400 of the present embodiment has a small role notification function. At the same time as the player operates the start lever 419 to rotate the reels 602, 603, 604, the main control unit 508 performs a lottery for winning. As a result of the lottery, when the small role flag is established, the main control unit 508 sends an instruction to the image display device 431 via the sub control unit 511 at a certain frequency, or information associated with the small role winning or the selected small size The role symbol is displayed to notify the player that the flag for the small role has been established (small role navigation). Further, when the bonus flag is established as a result of the lottery, the main control unit 508 instructs the image display device 431 via the sub control unit 511 in order to perform “a bonus flag notification effect of missing a small role” at a certain frequency. , Display the small role, and give the player a false notification that the small role flag has been established.

  FIGS. 7A and 7B are diagrams showing an example of a game mode in which a small role is notified according to the present embodiment. FIG. 7A is a diagram in the case where the 15-piece combination (small combination s) flag is established when the BET number is 3, and the 3 reels are rotating. FIG. 7B is a diagram when all three reels are stopped and the RT release is won.

  In FIG. 7A, the swivel type gaming machine 400 of this embodiment is normally in RT, and the main control unit 508 displays an image of the small role notification 701 representing the small role s via the sub control unit 511. It is displayed on the device 431. Thereafter, the player stops the reels 602, 603, and 604. In this case, the player aims at the small role s notified of the small role.

  In FIG. 7B, in the game of FIG. 7A, the player presses the stop button 420 of the left reel 602, the stop button 421 of the middle reel 603, and the stop button 422 of the right reel 604 in order, It is the figure which stopped. In FIG. 7B, on the left side of each symbol of each reel, for convenience, the corresponding symbol number described with reference to FIG. 6 is supplemented with (), but it is written on the actual reel. It is not (the same applies to the drawings referred to below).

  Here, in relation to the symbol number shown in FIG. 6, a pull-in data table as shown in FIG. 16 is stored in the ROM 509. As shown in FIG. 16, the pull-in data table is data in which the data of the maximum number of pull-in frames for which the reel pull-in control works is defined for each symbol number of each reel. Since the range in which the reel pull-in control works is within 4 frames in accordance with the current spinning cylinder type gaming machine regulations, the maximum number of retracted frames shown in FIG. 16 is all within 4 frames. The main control unit 508 refers to the pull-in data table of FIG. 16 and performs the pull-in control of the reel with respect to the symbol with the symbol number of a certain reel, according to the maximum number of frames to be drawn defined for the symbol number of that reel. Then, the reel pull-in control is performed for the symbol of the symbol number.

  Accordingly, in FIG. 7B, for example, when the middle reel 603 is rotating and the symbol 850 (symbol number 1) reaches the position 801, the player presses the stop button 421 on the middle reel 603. If so, the main control unit 508 refers to the drawing data table of FIG. 16 and obtains the maximum number of drawing frames 4 defined for symbol number 1 of the middle reel. In this case, the symbol 850 of the symbol 850 is located at a position 801 less than one frame of the winning line display 409, which is an effective line related to the winning combination, and the maximum pull-in acquired between the position and the winning line display 409 is obtained. Since the number of frames is 4 or less, the main control unit 508 determines that the drawing-in control of the reel of symbol 850 on the winning line display 409, which is an active line, is possible, and the drawing-in control of the reel with respect to the symbol 850 of symbol 850 is performed. I do.

  Similarly, when the player presses the stop button 422 of the right reel 604 when the symbol s (symbol number 3) of reference numeral 853 reaches the position 802 in FIG. 7B while the right reel 604 is rotating. The main control unit 508 refers to the drawing data table of FIG. 16 and acquires the maximum number of drawing frames 4 defined in the symbol number 3 of the right reel. However, when the stop button 422 is pressed, the symbol s 853 is positioned at a position 802 that has already passed the winning line display 409 of the active line related to the winning combination, and the reel pull-in control with respect to the winning line display 409 works. The symbols of symbols 4 to 7 are located and the symbol s is not present (within 4 frames in accordance with the current spinning cylinder game machine regulations). At this time, the main control unit 508 determines that the drawing-in control of the reel of the symbol s on the winning line display 409, which is an active line, is impossible, and immediately stops the symbol b of the reference numeral 854 on the winning line display 409. The above result is a state where all reels in FIG. 7B are stopped and the small combination s is not won.

  In this embodiment, the small role s is a specific small role, and the main control unit 508 performs a lottery for RT cancellation regardless of whether the small role s is won or not when the specific small role flag (small role s flag) is established. In FIG. 7B, the RT release is won, the established bonus flag stocked by the main control unit 508 is taken out, and the window 901 having the BB notification is displayed on the image display device 431 via the sub control unit 511. At the same time, the notification lamp 429 is turned on, and the player is notified of the establishment of the bonus flag.

  FIGS. 8A, 8 </ b> B, 9 </ b> A, and 9 </ b> B are diagrams illustrating an example of a game aspect related to the RT release precursor effect of the present embodiment. 8 (a) and 8 (b), 3 reels rotate when the BET number is 3, and the number of games until the predetermined number of games during RT (the number of games until RT is released, hereinafter referred to as RT game remaining times). ) Is a diagram in the case of notification. FIG. 9A is a diagram when all three reels are stopped and RT is released. FIG. 9B shows a case where the established bonus flag is taken out and the player stops 3 reels and aligns the symbol 7 of the BB on the winning line display 405 which is an active line.

  In FIG. 8A, the spinning-reel game machine 400 of the present embodiment is normally in RT, and the main control unit 508 notifies the RT game remaining number via the sub-control unit 511 and notifies the RT game remaining number. Is displayed on the image display device 431. Thereafter, the player stops the reels 602, 603, and 604 and confirms the sign effect every game, and proceeds with the game.

  In FIG. 8B, the main control unit 508 displays a window 901 having an RT release sign notification that the RT game remaining count is 0 on the image display device 431 via the sub control unit 511. Yes. Thereafter, the player stops the reels 602, 603, and 604 while confirming the precursor effect, and proceeds with the game digestion.

  FIG. 9A shows that in the game where the remaining RT game count is 0 in FIG. 8B, the player sets a stop button 420 for the left reel 602, a stop button 421 for the middle reel 603, and a stop button 422 for the right reel 604. It is the figure which pressed down in order and stopped all the reels. FIG. 9A shows a state in which all reels are stopped and the winning combination is not won as a result. In this case, the RT game remaining count is 0, that is, the RT count is canceled because the game count up to the cancellation is exhausted. In FIG. 9A, RT is canceled, the established bonus flag stocked by the main control unit 508 is taken out, a window 901 having a BB notification is displayed on the image display device 431 via the sub control unit 511, and The case where the notification lamp 429 is turned on to notify the player of the establishment of the bonus flag is shown. Accordingly, the result of the player aiming at the symbol 7 of the BB notified of the reels 602, 603, and 604 in the next game is the state 9 (b).

  FIGS. 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, 3A, and 3B are diagrams illustrating an example of an RT release result of the present embodiment. FIG. 1A is a diagram in a case where the RT release outcome is notified when the BET number is 3, and the 3 reels are rotating. FIG. 1B is a diagram when the stop button 420 of the left reel 602 is pressed. FIG. 2A shows the left reel 602 stopped. FIG. 2B is a diagram in which all three reels are stopped. FIG. 3A shows a case where all three reels are stopped and the RT release is won. FIG. 3B is a diagram in the case where the established bonus flag is taken out, the player stops 3 reels, and the symbol 7 of BB is aligned on the winning line display 405 which is an active line.

  In FIG. 1 (a), the swivel type gaming machine 400 of the present embodiment is normally in RT, and the main control unit 508 releases the RT (for example, left reel symbol s, middle reel symbol z, right reel). The symbol s) is set, and is displayed on the window 901 image display device 431 having a notice of RT release notice via the sub-control unit 511. Thereafter, the player stops the reels 602, 603, and 604. In this case, the player aims to release the announced RT.

  Here, when the small role flag other than the replay is established, the spinning-reel type gaming machine 400 of the present embodiment performs the reel pull-in control with respect to the symbol of the small role preferentially over the symbol of the RT release, and the replay When the flag is established, reel pull-in control is preferentially performed on the replay symbol over the symbol of the release from RT only when the reel stop sequence coincides with the internally determined specific pressing sequence. Hereinafter, FIGS. 1 (a) to 3 (b) show that when the replay flag that is frequently established during RT is established, the reel stop order does not coincide with the specific pressing order, so that the replay is not won and the RT is released. This is an example in which the drawing-in control of the reel is performed on the symbol.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 1 (b), when the player presses the stop button 420 of the left reel 602, the symbol b of reference numeral 750 is positioned on the winning line displays 406 and 409 which are active lines. Assume that the symbol s1 of 751 for displaying the RT release outcome is located after the frame.

  In FIG. 1B, the symbol number symbol 75 of symbol 751 for displaying the RT release result is 6, so the main control unit 508 refers to the drawing data table of FIG. The maximum number of frames to be drawn 4 defined by the number 6 is acquired. In this case, the symbol s of reference numeral 751 is located three frames after the symbol b of symbol 750, and the interval between the position and the symbol s of reference numeral 751 is within the maximum number of four frames acquired, so the main control unit 508 Then, it is determined that the drawing-in control of the reel symbol 751 on the winning line displays 406 and 409, which are effective lines, is possible, and the reel-in control is performed for the symbol s 751.

  FIG. 2A is a diagram in which the reel drawing-in control is performed on the symbol s indicated by reference numeral 751 and the left reel 602 is stopped following FIG. In FIG. 2A, when the player further depresses the stop button 421 of the middle reel 603, the symbol z for displaying the RT release result of the middle reel 603 on the winning line display 406 or 409, which is the active line. Can be drawn, the symbol z of the middle reel 603 is drawn on the winning line display 406 or 409.

  FIG. 2B is a diagram in which the middle reel 603 and the right reel 604 are stopped following FIG. If the player presses the stop button 421 of the middle reel 603 when the symbol z (symbol number 2) of reference numeral 852 reaches the position 801 in FIG. 2B while the middle reel 603 is rotating, The control unit 508 refers to the drawing data table of FIG. 16 and obtains the maximum number of drawing frames 1 defined in symbol number 2 of the middle reel. In this case, since the symbol z indicated by reference numeral 852 is located at a position 801 that is less than one frame on the winning line display 409 and the area between the position and the winning line display 409 is within the acquired maximum number of drawn frames 1, the main control is performed. The unit 508 determines that the drawing-in control of the reel indicated by the symbol 852 on the winning line display 409, which is an active line, is possible, and performs the drawing-in control of the reel with respect to the symbol z indicated by the reference 852.

  Similarly, when the player presses the stop button 422 of the right reel 604 when the symbol s (symbol number 14) of reference numeral 851 reaches the position 803 in FIG. 2B while the right reel 604 is rotating. The main control unit 508 refers to the pull-in data table in FIG. 16 and acquires the maximum number of pull-in frames 4 defined in the symbol number 14 of the right reel. In this case, the symbol s of reference numeral 851 is located at a position 803 two frames after the winning line display 409 of the active line related to the winning combination, and the maximum number of drawn frames acquired between the position and the winning line display 409. Since it is within 4, the main control unit 508 determines that the drawing-in control of the reel symbol 851 on the winning line display 409, which is an active line, is possible, and performs the reel-in control for the symbol s 851. . The above result is a state in which the middle reel 603 and the right reel 604 in FIG. 2B are stopped and the RT release outcome (left reel symbol s, middle reel symbol z, right reel symbol s) is displayed.

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 508 sets the RT release outcome, and performs a lottery for RT release when the set RT release outcome is displayed. FIG. 3A shows that the RT flag is won in the state of FIG. 2B, the established bonus flag is stocked by the main control unit 508, and the BB notification is given via the sub control unit 511. A window 901 is displayed on the image display device 431, and a notification lamp 429 is turned on to show the player that the bonus flag has been established. Accordingly, the result of the player aiming at the symbol 7 of the BB notified of the reels 602, 603, and 604 in the next game is the state 3 (b).

(Program processing explanation)
The processing related to the game in the present embodiment is performed according to the processing procedure shown in the flowcharts of FIGS. The processing procedure of FIGS. 10 to 13 shows the contents of the revolving game control process executed by the CPU of the main control unit 508. The CPU of the main control unit 508 reads out and executes the game control program stored in the ROM 509. Is done. The processing procedure of FIG. 14 shows the contents of the spinning-type game sub-control process executed by the CPU of the sub-control unit 511, and the CPU of the sub-control unit 511 reads out and executes the game sub-control program stored in the ROM 519. Is done.

  Note that the processing procedure executed by the CPU of the main control unit 508 when the setting key is inserted into the probability setting device 521 and the setting value is set according to a predetermined procedure is well known in the conventional rotary type gaming machine. I ’ll skip the explanation. In the present embodiment, a bonus lottery probability corresponding to the set value set by the probability setting device 521 is extracted from bonus lottery probabilities corresponding to each of the settings 1 to 6 stored in advance in the ROM 509, and the bonus The lottery probability and the set setting value are stored in the RAM 510 in advance.

  In FIG. 10, the processing procedure of the game control program of this embodiment that defines the contents of the spinning-type game control processing performed by the CPU of the main control unit 508 will be described with reference to FIGS. . When the rotary gaming machine 400 is turned on, the main control unit 508 performs various initial settings (not shown), and then performs periodic interrupt processing (not shown) to set the values in the RAM 510 and bonus lottery probabilities. By sequentially updating the random number counter of the combination in the RAM 510 corresponding to, the random number value of the combination is sequentially generated.

  The player gives an instruction to insert 1 to 3 medals from the medal insertion slot 404, or presses the bet buttons 416 to 418 to insert 1 to 3 medals from the credit medal, and the main control unit 508 When an instruction for a BET having 1 to 3 BETs is detected, the BET method is determined (step S1000 → S1003).

  When the main control unit 508 detects the 1 to 3 triggers from the bet button switch 502 and determines that the bet is made by the bet buttons 416 to 418, the credit number display unit 415 displays the number of credits and the number of BETs 1 ~ 3 sheets are compared (steps S1003 → S1005).

  When the comparison result is “number of credits <number of BETs”, the main control unit 508 returns the process to a state where the player waits for a medal to be inserted into the medal slot 404 (steps S1005 → S1000).

  When the main control unit 508 detects 1 to 3 triggers from the medal sensor switch 505 and determines that the BET is due to the medal insertion from the medal insertion slot 404 (step S1003 → S1015), or the bet buttons 416 to 418. If it is determined that 1 to 3 BETs have been successfully placed (steps S1003 → S1005 → S1015), the main control unit 508 turns on the effective line LEDs 410 to 414 to the line display device 517 in accordance with the BET number. The winning line displays 405 to 409 are set to the effective lines corresponding to the number of BETs.

  When the player operates the start lever 419, a trigger of the reel start switch 501 causes the main control unit 508 to instruct the symbol display device 512 to rotate the reel, and as a lottery, the random number counter of the combination in the RAM 510 performs random operations. Extract numeric values. The main control unit 508 draws a winning combination based on the acquired random number value, and when the winning combination is won, the flag in the winning combination RAM 510 is turned ON. Since it is not during RT, the winning probability of the small role “Replay” is in a normal state (steps S1015 → S1016).

  The main control unit 508 checks the flag in the RAM 510 (step S1017). If any combination flag is not established, the main control unit 508 checks the queue length of the bonus stock queue in the RAM 510 for stocking the bonus flag (step S1047). When the queue length is 0, that is, when there is no stocked bonus flag, the main control unit 508 sets the event type randomly selected other than the small role announcement (3) to the event bit 3 to bit 0 as shown in FIG. A game command (command ID is 0) is transmitted to the sub-control unit 511 (step S1018).

  Then, in the reel stop process in step S1020, the main control unit 508 responds to the trigger detection of the stop button switch unit 503 in response to the player's operation of the stop buttons 420 to 422, and the reel at the time of loss is displayed. A control instruction is given to stop the reels 602, 603, and 604, and this one game is counted as the number of games. The counted number of games is output from, for example, a communication port (not shown), collected and managed by the hall computer 523 as one of the operating status data of the stand, and one game is completed.

  Following this, the main control unit 508 checks the remaining RT game count in the RAM 510 (step S1058), and if the remaining RT game count is 0, the process returns to step S1000.

  Again, the player inserts 1 to 3 medals from the medal slot 404, or presses the bet buttons 416 to 418 to insert 1 to 3 medals from the credit medals, and a BET with 1 to 3 BETs. If the game is normally performed, the main control unit 508 instructs the line display device 517 to light the effective line LEDs 410 to 414 corresponding to the BET number, thereby matching the winning line displays 405 to 409 to the BET number. The number of effective lines is set as much as possible (steps S1000 → S1003 → S1015, or steps S1000 → S1003 → S1005 → S1015).

  When the player operates the start lever 419, a trigger of the reel start switch 501 causes the main control unit 508 to instruct the symbol display device 512 to rotate the reel, and as a lottery, the random number counter of the combination in the RAM 510 performs random operations. Extract numeric values. The main control unit 508 draws a winning combination based on the acquired random number value, and when the winning combination is won, the flag in the winning combination RAM 510 is turned ON (steps S1015 → S1016).

  The main control unit 508 checks the flag in the RAM 510. If the flag is established, the main control unit 508 further checks the flag of each small role in the RAM 510 (steps S1017 → S1048). When the small role flag is established, the main control unit 508 sets the randomly selected effect type to event bit 3 to bit 0 and sets the small role type to event bit 10 to bit 4 as shown in FIG. (Command ID is 0) is transmitted to the sub-control unit 511 (step S1048 → S1026). As a result, the main control unit 508 displays the small role on the image display device 431 via the sub control unit 511 and notifies the player that the small role has been flagged.

  In the 3-reel stop process in step S1027, the main control unit 508 flags the symbol display device 512 in response to the trigger detection of the stop button switch unit 503 in response to the player's operation of the stop buttons 420, 421, 422. An instruction for reel pull-in control related to the established small combination is issued, and the reels 602, 603, and 604 are stopped. The three-reel stop process in step S1027 will be described later with reference to FIG.

  If the small role is won after the reels 602, 603, 604 are stopped, the main control unit 508 performs a small role process (medal payout etc.) corresponding to the small role, and turns off the established small role flag. Thus, one game (game) is ended (steps S1030 → S1033 → S1043 → S1045 → S1000). If no winning combination has been won after the reels 602, 603, and 604 have stopped, the main control unit 508 turns off the established winning combination flag and ends one game (game) (steps S1030 → S1033 → S1045). → S1000).

  Again, the player inserts 1 to 3 medals from the medal slot 404, or presses the bet buttons 416 to 418 to insert 1 to 3 medals from the credit medals, and a BET with 1 to 3 BETs. If the game is normally performed, the main control unit 508 instructs the line display device 517 to light the effective line LEDs 410 to 414 corresponding to the BET number, thereby matching the winning line displays 405 to 409 to the BET number. The number of effective lines is set as much as possible (steps S1000 → S1003 → S1015, or steps S1000 → S1003 → S1005 → S1015).

  When the player operates the start lever 419, a trigger of the reel start switch 501 causes the main control unit 508 to instruct the symbol display device 512 to rotate the reel, and as a lottery, the random number counter of the combination in the RAM 510 performs random operations. Extract numeric values. The main control unit 508 draws a winning combination based on the acquired random number value, and when the winning combination is won, the flag in the winning combination RAM 510 is turned ON (steps S1015 → S1016).

  The main control unit 508 checks the flag in the RAM 510. If the flag is established, the main control unit 508 further checks the flag of each small role in the RAM 510 (steps S1017 → S1048). If the small role flag is not established and the bonus flag is established (bonus flag; 1 for BB, 2 for RB), the main control unit 508 checks the queue length of the bonus stock queue (step (S1048 → S1050), if the queue length is 0, that is, if the bonus flag is not stocked, the process proceeds to step S1054.

  In step S1054, the main control unit 508 enqueues bonus flag data (1 for BB, 2 for RB) at the end of the bonus stock queue, and turns the bonus flag OFF (cleared to 0). Next, the main control unit 508 initializes the remaining RT game count with a random count (step S1056), and advances the process to step S1018.

  Through steps S1018 and S1020, the main control unit 508 checks the remaining RT game count in step S1058. If the remaining RT game count is not 0, the main control unit 508 performs RT processing in the RT game control process (step S1060). The RT game control process during RT in step S1060 will be described with reference to FIG.

  In FIG. 11, the player inserts 1 to 3 medals from the medal insertion slot 404, or presses the bet buttons 416 to 418 to insert 1 to 3 medals from the credit medals, and 1 to 3 BETs. When the BET is successfully performed, the main control unit 508 instructs the line display device 517 to light the effective line LEDs 410 to 414 in an amount corresponding to the BET number, whereby the winning line displays 405 to 409 are set to the BET number. The corresponding effective lines are used (step S1100 → S1103 → S1115, or step S1100 → S1103 → S1105 → S1115).

  When the player operates the start lever 419, a trigger of the reel start switch 501 causes the main control unit 508 to instruct the symbol display device 512 to rotate the reel, and as a lottery, the random number counter of the combination in the RAM 510 performs random operations. Extract numeric values. In this embodiment, during the RT, if a bonus combination other than a bonus and replay does not win, the player is uniformly replayed. Accordingly, the main control unit 508 turns on the flag in the RAM 510 of the winning combination among bonuses, small combinations other than replay, and replay based on the acquired random number value. Since it is during RT, the winning probability of the small role “replay” is greatly increased, and the replay flag is frequently established (steps S1115 → S1116).

  Note that the spinning-reel type gaming machine 400 of the present embodiment has a replay winning condition of “replay flag established + specific pressing order”, and in step S1116, the main control unit 508 replays a prize at the same time when the replay flag is established. The specific pressing order is also determined.

  Next, in step S1148, the main control unit 508 randomly sets setting information for the release of the RT in the setting information area in the RAM 510 (for example, the left reel symbol s, the middle reel symbol z, the right reel symbol s, etc.). The symbol information) and the RT game remaining count are decremented (-1) (step S1150).

  In FIG. 11, the setting information of the RT release result in step S1148 is set for each game, but a counter for the processing in step S1148 is prepared and the number of games is counted with the counter. The setting information of the RT release outcome may be set at a predetermined number of game cycles based on the value of the counter. Or you may make it set the setting information of the cancellation | release result of RT at random game frequency intervals.

  When the bonus flag is established (bonus flag; 1 for BB, 2 for RB), the main control unit 508 displays bonus flag data (1 for BB, RB for the end of the bonus stock queue). In this case, 2) is enqueued and the bonus flag is turned off (cleared to 0) (steps S1123 → S1154). Next, the main control unit 508 initializes the remaining RT game count with a random count (step S1156), and advances the process to step S1118.

  The main control unit 508 transmits to the sub-control unit 511 the normal game command (command ID is 0) shown in FIG. 15 in which the randomly selected effect type other than the small role notification (3) is set to bit3 to bit0 of the event. (Step S1118).

  Then, in the reel stop process in step S1120, the main control unit 508 responds to the trigger operation of the stop button switch unit 503 in response to the player's operation of the stop buttons 420 to 422. A control instruction is given to stop the reels 602, 603, and 604, and this one game is counted as the number of games. The counted number of games is output from, for example, a communication port (not shown), collected and managed by the hall computer 523 as one of the operating status data of the stand, and one game is completed. Then, the main control unit 508 returns to the process of step S1100.

  The engineer again inserts 1 to 3 medals from the medal insertion slot 404, or presses the bet buttons 416 to 418 to insert 1 to 3 medals from the credit medals, and a BET having 1 to 3 BETs. If the game is normally performed, the main control unit 508 instructs the line display device 517 to light the effective line LEDs 410 to 414 corresponding to the BET number, thereby matching the winning line displays 405 to 409 to the BET number. The number of effective lines is set as much as possible (steps S1100 → S1103 → S1115 or steps S1100 → S1103 → S1105 → S1115).

  When the player operates the start lever 419, a trigger of the reel start switch 501 causes the main control unit 508 to instruct the symbol display device 512 to rotate the reel, and as a lottery, the random number counter of the combination in the RAM 510 performs random operations. Extract numeric values. Based on the acquired random value, the main control unit 508 turns on the flag in the RAM 510 of the winning combination among bonuses, small plays other than replay, and replay. Since it is during RT, the replay flag is frequently established (steps S1115 → S1116). In step S1116, the main control unit 508 also determines the specific pressing order for replay winning, particularly at the same time when the replay flag is established.

  Next, in step S1148, the main control unit 508 randomly sets the setting information of the RT release outcome, and decrements (-1) the remaining RT game count (step S1150).

  The main control unit 508 checks the remaining RT game count when the small role flag is established (step S1123 → S1151), and checks whether the replay flag is established when the remaining RT game count exceeds 10 (step S1152).

  If the main control unit 508 determines in step S1152 that the replay flag has not been established, that is, that a small role flag other than replay has been established, the main control unit 508 sets the randomly selected effect type to bit3 to bit0 of the event, and sets the small role type. The normal game command (command ID is 0) shown in FIG. 15 set in bit 10 to bit 4 of the event is transmitted to the sub-control unit 511 (step S1126). As a result, the main control unit 508 displays the small role on the image display device 431 via the sub control unit 511 and notifies the player that the small role has been flagged. This example is the case of FIG.

  On the other hand, if main controller 508 determines in step S1152 that the replay flag has been established, it proceeds to step S1158. In step S1158, when the RT release outcome is set in the previous step S1148, the main control unit 508 recognizes each symbol ID (for example, the ID of the left reel symbol s and the ID of the middle reel symbol z). 15, the reel event s ID etc.) set as an event is transmitted to the sub-control unit 511 as shown in FIG. Accordingly, the main control unit 508 displays the RT release outcome on the image display device 431 via the sub control unit 511 at a frequency synchronized with the replay flag that is frequently established, and the RT release outcome is displayed to the player. Announce. This example is the case of FIG.

  If the main control unit 508 determines in step S1151 that the remaining RT game count is 10 or less, the main control unit 508 advances the process to step S1160. In step S1160, the main control unit 508 transmits the RT game remaining number command (command ID is 4) shown in FIG. 15 in which the RT game remaining number is set as an event to the sub-control unit 511. As a result, the main control unit 508 displays the RT release precursor effect informing the RT display remaining number on the image display device 431 via the sub control unit 511, and notifies the player that the RT release is near. This example is the case of FIGS. 8A and 8B described above.

  Next, if the small combination flag established in step S1162 is not a specific small combination (for example, small combination s) flag, the main control unit 508 advances the process to step S1027. (Steps S1162 → S1164). The main control unit 508 advances the process to step S1027 (step S1166 → S1027) if the RT release is not won in step S1164, and if the RT release is won, the RT game remaining count is 0 (RT release). (Steps S1166 → S1168).

  In the 3-reel stop process in step S1027, the main control unit 508 flags the symbol display device 512 in response to the trigger detection of the stop button switch unit 503 in response to the player's operation of the stop buttons 420, 421, 422. An instruction for reel pull-in control related to the established small combination is issued, and the reels 602, 603, and 604 are stopped. The three-reel stop process in step S1027 will be described later with reference to FIG.

  If the small role is won after the reels 602, 603, 604 are stopped, the main control unit 508 performs a small role process (medal payout etc.) corresponding to the small role, and turns off the established small role flag. Thus, one game (game) is ended (steps S1133 → S1143 → S1145).

  If the winning combination has not been won after the reels 602, 603, 604 have stopped, the main control unit 508 checks the display of the RT release outcome (steps S1133 → S1170). In step S1170, the main control unit 508 compares the outcome with all the outcomes on the active line if the RT cancellation outcome is set in the previous step S1148, and the RT cancellation outcome is compared. Check the display. If the RT release outcome is not displayed (including the RT release outcome is not set), the established small role flag is turned off to end one game (game) (steps S1170 → S1145).

  On the other hand, the main control unit 508 performs a lottery for RT cancellation when the RT cancellation outcome is displayed (steps S1170 → S1171). If the RT release is not won in step S1171, the main control unit 508 advances the process to step S1145, turns off the small role flag, and ends one game (game) (step S1173 → S1145). When the RT release is won, the main control unit 508 sets the remaining RT game count to 0 (RT release), turns off the small role flag, and ends one game (game) (steps S1173 → S1175 → S1145). This example is a case to the above-mentioned FIG.1 (b)-FIG.3 (a).

  Finally, the main control unit 508 returns to the process of step S1100 if the remaining RT game count is not 0 (step S1190 → S1100), and returns to the process of FIG. 10 if the remaining RT game count is 0 (step S1190 → return).

  Referring to FIG. 10 again, the process after the RT is canceled in the process of FIG. 11 and the process returns to the process of FIG. 10 will be described. The player inserts 1 to 3 medals from the medal insertion slot 404 or presses the bet buttons 416 to 418 to insert 1 to 3 medals from the credit medals, and the BET with 1 to 3 BETs is normal. The main control unit 508 instructs the line display device 517 to turn on the effective line LEDs 410 to 414 corresponding to the number of BETs, so that the winning line displays 405 to 409 correspond to the number of BETs. An effective line is set (step S1000 → S1003 → S1015, or step S1000 → S1003 → S1005 → S1015).

  When the player operates the start lever 419, a trigger of the reel start switch 501 causes the main control unit 508 to instruct the symbol display device 512 to rotate the reel, and as a lottery, the random number counter of the combination in the RAM 510 performs random operations. Extract numeric values. The main control unit 508 draws a winning combination based on the acquired random number value, and when the winning combination is won, the flag in the winning combination RAM 510 is turned ON. Since it is not during RT, the probability of the small role “replay” is in a normal state (steps S1015 → S1016).

  The main control unit 508 checks the flag in the RAM 510 (step S1017). If any combination flag is not established, the main control unit 508 checks the queue length of the bonus stock queue (step S1047). If the queue length is not 0, that is, the bonus flag is stocked, the main control unit 508 advances the process to step S1052, and copies the top data of the bonus stock queue to the bonus flag.

  Alternatively, when the bonus flag is established in step S1017, the main control unit 508 checks the queue length of the bonus stock queue (steps S1048 → S1050). If the queue length is not 0, that is, the bonus flag is stocked, the main control unit 508 advances the process to step S1051.

  In step S1051, the main control unit 508 enqueues bonus flag data at the end of the bonus stock queue and turns the bonus flag OFF (cleared to 0). Next, in step S1052, the main control unit 508 copies the top data of the bonus stock queue to the bonus flag.

  Then, the main control unit 508 sets the event type selected at random to bit3 to bit0 of the event, and randomly sets an appropriate small role type to bit10 to bit4 of the event at a certain frequency randomly. (Command ID is 0) is transmitted to the sub-control unit 511 (step S1024).

  Thus, in order to perform “a bonus flag notification effect for missing a small role” at a certain frequency, the small role is displayed on the image display device 431 via the sub-control unit 511, and a false fact that the small role flag is established to the player is displayed. Make an announcement.

  Then, the main control unit 508 randomly outputs a bonus flag establishment command (command ID is 1) shown in FIG. 15 in which bonus flag data (1 for BB, 2 for RB) is set as an event to some extent. The frequency is transmitted to the sub-control unit 511 (step S1025). As a result, when the sub-control unit 511 receives the bonus flag establishment command, the sub-control unit 511 issues an instruction to the lamp display device 514 to control the notification lamp 429 to turn on, and notifies the player that the bonus flag has been established.

  Then, in response to the player's operation of the stop buttons 420, 421, and 422, the main control unit 508 controls the symbol display device 512 to display the reels related to the flag establishment role (bonus) in accordance with the trigger detection of the stop button switch unit 503. An instruction for pull-in control is performed to stop the reels 602, 603, and 604 (step S1027).

  If the bonus has not been won due to the missing bonus, the main control unit 508 ends one game (game) with the bonus flag set to ON (steps S1030 → S1033 → S1045 → S1000).

  Again, the player inserts 1 to 3 medals from the medal slot 404, or presses the bet buttons 416 to 418 to insert 1 to 3 medals from the credit medals, and a BET with 1 to 3 BETs. If the game is normally performed, the main control unit 508 instructs the line display device 517 to light the effective line LEDs 410 to 414 corresponding to the BET number, thereby matching the winning line displays 405 to 409 to the BET number. The number of effective lines is set as much as possible (steps S1000 → S1003 → S1015, or steps S1000 → S1003 → S1005 → S1015).

  When the player operates the start lever 419, a trigger of the reel start switch 501 causes the main control unit 508 to instruct the symbol display device 512 to rotate the reel, and as a lottery, the random number counter of the combination in the RAM 510 performs random operations. Extract numeric values. The main control unit 508 draws a winning combination based on the acquired random number value, and when the winning combination is won, the flag in the winning combination RAM 510 is turned ON. Since it is not during RT, the probability of the small role “replay” is in a normal state (steps S1015 → S1016).

  The main control unit 508 checks the flag in the RAM 510 (step S1017). If any combination flag is not established, the main control unit 508 checks the queue length of the bonus stock queue (step S1047). If the queue length is not 0, that is, the bonus flag is stocked, the main control unit 508 advances the process to step S1052, and copies the top data of the bonus stock queue to the bonus flag.

  Then, the main control unit 508 sets the event type selected at random to bit3 to bit0 of the event, and randomly sets an appropriate small role type to bit10 to bit4 of the event at a certain frequency randomly. (Command ID is 0) is transmitted to the sub-control unit 511 (step S1024).

  Then, the main control unit 508 randomly outputs a bonus flag establishment command (command ID is 1) shown in FIG. 15 in which bonus flag data (1 for BB, 2 for RB) is set as an event to some extent. The frequency is transmitted to the sub-control unit 511 (step S1025). As a result, when the sub-control unit 511 receives the bonus flag establishment command, the sub-control unit 511 issues an instruction to the lamp display device 514 to control the notification lamp 429 to turn on, and notifies the player that the bonus flag has been established.

  Then, in response to the player's operation of the stop buttons 420, 421, and 422, the main control unit 508 controls the symbol display device 512 to display the reels related to the flag establishment role (bonus) in accordance with the trigger detection of the stop button switch unit 503. An instruction for pull-in control is performed to stop the reels 602, 603, and 604 (step S1027).

  If the bonus is won, the main control unit 508 transmits a notification end command (command ID is 2) shown in FIG. 15 to the sub-control unit 511. As a result, the sub-control unit 511 controls the lamp display device 514 to issue an instruction to turn off the notification lamp 429 (steps S1030 → S1035). This example is the case of FIG. 3 (b), FIG. 7 (b), and FIG. 9 (b) described above.

  When the main control unit 508 receives an instruction for the next game from the player, the main control unit 508 performs bonus game processing, turns off the bonus flag (clears 0), and returns to normal processing (step S1037). The detailed processing contents of BB and RB (once a JAC game) in the bonus game processing in step S1037 are well known in the prior art and will not be described in detail, but the main control unit 508 has a bonus flag data of 1 ( In the case of BB), the BB game process is performed, and in the case where the bonus flag data is 2 (RB), the JAC game process is performed.

  Next, the main control unit 508 dequeues the bonus flag data from the top of the bonus stock queue according to FIFO (first in, first out), and returns the process to the next game waiting state (steps S1039 → S1000).

  With the above processing, if the bonus stock queue has a non-zero queue length, that is, if the bonus flag is stocked, the bonus game processing in step S1037 is performed almost continuously until the stock runs out, and the player determines the bonus that has been established. Bonuses for the number of flags can be consumed and a large number of medals can be obtained.

  Next, in FIG. 12, the 3-reel stop process in step S <b> 1027 will be described in the process procedure of the game control program of the present embodiment that defines the contents of the spinning-type game control process performed by the CPU of the main control unit 508. .

  When the small combination flag is established after the bonus flag is established, the main control unit 508 preferentially selects the small combination flag (step S1250), and particularly checks the establishment of the replay flag in the present embodiment (step S1252). When the replay flag is established, the main control unit 508 performs the replay 3 reel stop process in step S1254, returns to the caller in FIG. 10 or 11 (step S1254 → return), and establishes the small role flag other than the replay flag. In that case, the process proceeds to step S1200. The replay 3-reel stop process in step S1254 will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In step S1200, the main control unit 508 monitors the trigger of the stop button switch unit 503 and monitors the first reel stop (first stop instruction). When the first stop instruction is detected (step S1200), the main control unit 508 receives the symbol number n (1 to 21) of the latest symbol that is a symbol for winning the flag winning combination and approaches the active line, and the first stop instruction. Reel No., which is an identifier for the reel (one of the left reel 602, the middle reel 603, and the right reel 604). With reference to the drawing data table of FIG. 16 using “L (left; 1, middle; 2, right; 3)” as an index, the maximum number N of frames to be drawn defined for the symbol number n of the first stop instruction reel L (0-4) are acquired (step S1203).

  Here, if the distance between the effective line related to the winning prize and the symbol of symbol number n is within the maximum number N of acquired frames, the main control unit 508 controls the drawing-in of the reel of symbol of symbol number n on the effective line. Is determined to be possible, a reel pull-in control instruction is issued to the symbol of symbol number n, and the first stop instruction reel is stopped (step S1205).

  Alternatively, in step S1205, if the distance between the effective line related to the winning prize and the symbol of symbol number n exceeds the acquired maximum number N of frames to be drawn, the main control unit 508 displays the symbol of symbol number n on the effective line. It is determined that the reel pull-in control is impossible (removal of the winning combination), an instruction to stop the reel pull-in control for the symbol number n is given, and the first stop instruction reel is stopped.

  Next, the main control unit 508 monitors the trigger of the stop button switch unit 503 and monitors the next reel stop (second stop instruction). When the second stop instruction is detected (step S1210), the main control unit 508 receives the symbol number n (1 to 21) of the latest symbol that is a symbol for winning the flag winning combination and approaches the active line, and the second stop instruction. Reel No., which is an identifier for the reel (one of the left reel 602, the middle reel 603, and the right reel 604). With reference to the drawing data table of FIG. 16 using “L (left; 1, middle; 2, right; 3)” as an index, the maximum number N of frames to be drawn defined for symbol number n of the second stop instruction reel L (0-4) are acquired (step S1213).

  Here, if the distance between the effective line related to the winning prize and the symbol of symbol number n is within the maximum number N of acquired frames, the main control unit 508 controls the drawing-in of the reel of symbol of symbol number n on the effective line. Is determined to be possible, a reel pull-in control instruction is given to the symbol of symbol number n, and the second stop instruction reel is stopped (step S1215). This example is the case of FIG. 7B described above.

  Alternatively, in step S1215, if the distance between the effective line related to the winning prize and the symbol of symbol number n exceeds the acquired maximum number N of frames to be drawn, the main control unit 508 displays the symbol of symbol number n on the effective line. It is determined that the reel pull-in control is impossible, an instruction to stop the reel no pull-in control is given to the symbol of symbol number n, and the second stop instruction reel is stopped.

  Finally, the main control unit 508 monitors the trigger of the stop button switch unit 503 and monitors the last reel stop (third stop instruction). When the third stop instruction is detected (step S1220), the main control unit 508 receives the symbol number n (1 to 21) of the latest symbol that is a symbol for winning the flag winning combination and approaches the active line, and the third stop instruction. Reel No., which is an identifier for the reel (one of the left reel 602, the middle reel 603, and the right reel 604). With reference to the drawing data table of FIG. 16 using “L (left; 1, middle; 2, right; 3)” as an index, the maximum number N of frames to be drawn defined for the symbol number n of the first stop instruction reel L (0-4) are acquired (step S1223).

  Here, if the distance between the effective line related to the winning prize and the symbol of symbol number n is within the maximum number N of acquired frames, the main control unit 508 controls the drawing-in of the reel of symbol of symbol number n on the effective line. Is determined to be possible, a reel pull-in control instruction is given to the symbol of symbol number n, the third stop instruction reel is stopped, and the process returns to the processing of FIG. 10 (step S1225 → return).

  Alternatively, in step S1225, if the distance between the effective line for winning combination and the symbol of symbol number n exceeds the acquired maximum number N of frames to be drawn, the main control unit 508 displays the symbol of symbol number n on the effective line. It is determined that the reel pull-in control is impossible, an instruction to stop the reel pull-in control is performed for the symbol number n, the third stop instruction reel is stopped, and the process returns to the process of FIG. This example is the case of FIG. 7B described above.

  In particular, in the case of immediate stop in step S1225, the main control unit 508 allows the reels to be displayed, but controls the reels so that any combination other than the flag winning combination is not won.

  Further, the main control unit 508 counts this one game as the number of games in step S1225. The counted number of games is output from, for example, a communication port (not shown), collected and managed by the hall computer 523 as one of the operating status data of the stand, and one game is completed.

  Next, in FIG. 13, the replay 3-reel stop process in step S <b> 1254 described above in the process procedure of the game control program of the present embodiment that defines the contents of the spinning game control process performed by the CPU of the main control unit 508 will be described. To do.

  In step S1300, the main control unit 508 monitors the trigger of the stop button switch unit 503 to monitor the first reel stop (first stop instruction). When detecting the first stop instruction (step S1300), the main control unit 508 checks whether the first stop instruction conforms to the specific pressing order determined in step S1116 (step S1301).

  When the specific pressing order is satisfied, the main control unit 508 receives the symbol number n (1 to 21) of the latest symbol that is a symbol for winning the flag winning combination replay and approaches the active line, and the first stop instruction reel ( Reel No. which is an identifier for any one of the left reel 602, the middle reel 603, and the right reel 604). With reference to the drawing data table of FIG. 16 using “L (left; 1, middle; 2, right; 3)” as an index, the maximum number N of frames to be drawn defined for the symbol number n of the first stop instruction reel L (0-4) are acquired (step S1303).

  On the other hand, when the specific pressing order is not suitable, the main control unit 508 proceeds to the process of step S1304. In step S1304, the main control unit 508 determines that the RT of the first stop instruction reel (one of the left reel 602, the middle reel 603, and the right reel 604) is set when the RT release outcome is set in the previous step S1148. The symbol number n (1 to 21) of the most recent symbol that is instructed by the symbol ID of the release and is close to the active line, and the first stop instruction reels (left reel 602, middle reel 603, right reel 604 Reel No. which is an identifier for any one). With reference to the drawing data table of FIG. 16 using “L (left; 1, middle; 2, right; 3)” as an index, the maximum number N of frames to be drawn defined for the symbol number n of the first stop instruction reel L Get (0-4).

  On the other hand, in step S1304, if the RT release outcome is not set in step S1148, the main control unit 508 is the symbol of the latest symbol that is a symbol that constitutes an appropriate loss outcome and is close to the active line. n (1 to 21) and the reel No. 1 which is an identifier for the first stop instruction reel (any one of the left reel 602, the middle reel 603, and the right reel 604). With reference to the drawing data table of FIG. 16 using “L (left; 1, middle; 2, right; 3)” as an index, the maximum number N of frames to be drawn defined for the symbol number n of the first stop instruction reel L Get (0-4).

  Next, if the space between the effective line and the symbol of symbol number n is within the maximum number N of frames that have been acquired, the main control unit 508 determines that the drawing-in control of the symbol of symbol number n can be performed on the effective line. Then, an instruction for reel pull-in control is given to the symbol of symbol number n, and the first stop instruction reel is stopped (step S1305).

  Alternatively, in step S1305, if the distance between the effective line and the symbol with the symbol number n exceeds the acquired maximum number N of frames to be drawn, the main control unit 508 performs the drawing-in control of the symbol with the symbol number n on the effective line. Is determined to be impossible, an instruction to stop the reel is not given to the symbol of symbol number n, and the first stop instruction reel is stopped.

  Next, the main control unit 508 monitors the trigger of the stop button switch unit 503 and monitors the next reel stop (second stop instruction). When the second stop instruction is detected (step S1310), the main control unit 508 checks whether the second stop instruction conforms to the specific pressing order determined in step S1116 (step S1311).

  When the specific pressing order is satisfied, the main control unit 508 receives the symbol number n (1 to 21) of the latest symbol that is a symbol for winning the flag winning combination replay and approaches the active line, and the second stop instruction reel ( Reel No. which is an identifier for any one of the left reel 602, the middle reel 603, and the right reel 604). With reference to the drawing data table of FIG. 16 using “L (left; 1, middle; 2, right; 3)” as an index, the maximum number N of frames to be drawn defined for symbol number n of the second stop instruction reel L (0-4) are acquired (step S1313).

  On the other hand, when the specific pressing order is not suitable, the main control unit 508 proceeds to the process of step S1314. In step S <b> 1314, the main control unit 508 determines that the RT of the second stop instruction reel (one of the left reel 602, the middle reel 603, and the right reel 604) has been set in step S <b> 1148. The symbol number n (1 to 21) of the most recent symbol that is instructed by the symbol ID of the release item and approaches the active line, and the second stop instruction reel (left reel 602, middle reel 603, right reel 604 Reel No. which is an identifier for any one). With reference to the drawing data table of FIG. 16 using “L (left; 1, middle; 2, right; 3)” as an index, the maximum number N of frames to be drawn defined for symbol number n of the second stop instruction reel L Get (0-4).

  On the other hand, in step S1314, the main control unit 508 determines the symbol number of the most recent symbol that is a symbol that constitutes an appropriate loser and is close to the active line when the RT release score is not set in the previous step S1148. n (1 to 21) and a reel No. 1 which is an identifier for the second stop instruction reel (one of the left reel 602, the middle reel 603, and the right reel 604). With reference to the drawing data table of FIG. 16 using “L (left; 1, middle; 2, right; 3)” as an index, the maximum number N of frames to be drawn defined for symbol number n of the second stop instruction reel L Get (0-4).

  Next, if the space between the effective line and the symbol of symbol number n is within the maximum number N of frames that have been acquired, the main control unit 508 determines that the drawing-in control of the symbol of symbol number n can be performed on the effective line. Then, a reel pull-in control instruction is given to the symbol number n, and the second stop instruction reel is stopped (step S1315).

  Alternatively, in step S1315, if the distance between the effective line related to the winning prize and the symbol of symbol number n exceeds the acquired maximum number N of frames to be drawn, the main control unit 508 displays the symbol of symbol number n on the effective line. It is determined that the reel pull-in control is impossible, an instruction to stop the reel no pull-in control is given to the symbol of symbol number n, and the second stop instruction reel is stopped.

  Finally, the main control unit 508 monitors the trigger of the stop button switch unit 503 and monitors the last reel stop (third stop instruction). When the third stop instruction is detected (step S1220), the main control unit 508 checks whether the third stop instruction conforms to the specific pressing order determined in step S1116 (step S1321).

  When the specific pressing order is satisfied, the main control unit 508 receives the symbol number n (1 to 21) of the latest symbol that is a symbol for winning the flag winning combination replay and approaches the active line, and the third stop instruction reel ( Reel No. which is an identifier for any one of the left reel 602, the middle reel 603, and the right reel 604). With reference to “L (left; 1, middle; 2, right; 3)” as an index, the drawing data table of FIG. 16 is referred to, and the maximum number N of drawing frames defined for symbol number n of the first stop instruction reel L (0-4) are acquired (step S1323).

  On the other hand, when the specific pressing order is not suitable, the main control unit 508 proceeds to the process of step S1324. In step S1324, the main control unit 508 determines that the RT of the third stop instruction reel (one of the left reel 602, the middle reel 603, and the right reel 604) is set when the RT release outcome is set in the previous step S1148. The symbol number n (1 to 21) of the latest symbol that is instructed by the symbol ID of the release and is close to the active line, and the third stop instruction reel (left reel 602, middle reel 603, right reel 604 Reel No. which is an identifier for any one). With reference to the drawing data table of FIG. 16 using “L (left; 1, middle; 2, right; 3)” as an index, the maximum number N of frames to be drawn defined for symbol number n of the third stop instruction reel L Get (0-4).

  On the other hand, in step S1324, the main control unit 508 determines the symbol number of the latest symbol that is a symbol that constitutes an appropriate loser and is close to the active line when the RT release score is not set in the previous step S1148. n (1 to 21) and the reel No. which is an identifier for the third stop instruction reel (any one of the left reel 602, the middle reel 603, and the right reel 604). With reference to the drawing data table of FIG. 16 using “L (left; 1, middle; 2, right; 3)” as an index, the maximum number N of frames to be drawn defined for symbol number n of the third stop instruction reel L Get (0-4).

  Next, if the interval between the effective line and the symbol of symbol number n is within the maximum number N of frames to be acquired, the main control unit 508 determines that the reel-in control of the symbol of symbol number n can be performed on the effective line. Then, a reel pull-in control instruction is given to the symbol number n, the third stop instruction reel is stopped, and the processing returns to the processing in FIG. 10 (step S1325 → return).

  Alternatively, in step S1325, if the distance between the effective line and the symbol of symbol number n exceeds the acquired maximum number N of frames to be drawn, the main control unit 508 controls the drawing-in of the reel of the symbol of symbol number n on the effective line. Is determined to be impossible, an instruction to stop the reel is not given to the symbol of symbol number n, the third stop instruction reel is stopped, and the processing returns to FIG.

  In particular, in the case of immediate stop in step S1325, the main control unit 508 controls the reels so that a combination other than the flag winning combination replay does not win, although the display of the release result is permitted.

  In step S1325, the main control unit 508 counts this one game as the number of games. The counted number of games is output from, for example, a communication port (not shown), collected and managed by the hall computer 523 as one of the operating status data of the stand, and one game is completed.

  Next, in FIG. 14, the processing procedure of the gaming sub-control program of this embodiment that defines the contents of the spinning-type gaming sub-control processing performed by the CPU of the sub-control unit 511 is also shown in FIGS. 1 (a) to 9 (b). It demonstrates, referring also. When the rotating game machine 400 is powered on, the sub-control unit 511 sequentially updates various random number counters in the RAM 520 by periodic interrupt processing (not shown) after various initial settings (not shown). Thus, random numbers related to the production are sequentially generated.

  The sub-control unit 511 monitors the command transmitted from the main control unit 508, and when receiving the command, determines whether or not the command ID is 1 (bonus flag establishment command) (steps S1400 → S1405). ). When the command ID is 1 (bonus flag establishment command), the sub-control unit 511 gives an instruction to the lamp display device 514 to control the notification lamp 429 to be lit (steps S1405 → S1420). In step S1420, a window 901 having a BB or RB notification may be displayed on the image display device 431 simultaneously with the event of the bonus flag establishment command. This example is the case of FIG. 3 (b), FIG. 7 (b), and FIG. 9 (b) described above.

  If the command ID is not 1, the sub-control unit 511 determines whether the command ID is 2 (notification end command) (steps S1405 → S1425). When the command ID is 2 (notification end command), the sub control unit 511 controls the lamp display device 514 to give an instruction and turn off the notification lamp 429 (step S1430).

  When the normal game command (command ID is 0) shown in FIG. 15 is received, the sub-control unit 511 determines whether or not the event type of the event of the normal game command is a small role notification (steps S1425 → S1445). If it is not a small role notification, in the normal effect process in step S1495, the sub-control unit 511 gives an instruction corresponding to the effect type that is an event of the normal game command so as to perform an effect when the start lever 419 is operated. And transmitted to the sound effect generator 515 or the like (steps S1445 → S1495). In this case, for example, each reel is irradiated with the normal white light backlight of the symbol display device 512 by the lamp display device 514, and a normal sound effect start sound is emitted from the speaker 427 by the sound effect generator 515.

  In the case of a small role notification, in the process of step S1450, the sub-control unit 511 transmits an instruction corresponding to the small role type, which is an event of the normal game command, to the image display device 431 so as to perform a small role notification display (step S1450). S1445 → S1450). This example is the case of FIG.

  The sub-control unit 511 transmits a desired display instruction (a command as a display command signal) to the image display device 431, and the image display device 431 displays a desired moving image on the LCD according to the command. The I / F between the unit 511 and the image display device 431 and the control method of the image display device 431 itself can be the same as when using a conventional image display device having an LCD applied to a swivel game machine. The detailed explanation is omitted.

  Sub-control unit 511 gives an instruction corresponding to the effect type that is the event of the normal game command so as to perform the effect at the time of operating the start lever 419 in the normal effect process of step S1495 following the instruction of the small role notification display. This is transmitted to the lamp display device 514, the sound effect generator 515, etc. (steps S1450 → S1495).

  Further, when a bonus flag establishment command (command ID is 1) or a notification end command (command ID is 2) is received, the sub-control unit 511 performs an effect at the end of one game in the normal effect process in step S1495. Then, an instruction commensurate with each command is transmitted to the lamp display device 514, the sound effect generator 515, etc. (steps S1420, S1430 → S1495). In this case, for example, each reel is irradiated with the backlight of the symbol display device 512 switched to white light or red light by the lamp display device 514, and a special sound effect is emitted from the speaker 427 by the sound effect generator 515.

  The sub-control unit 511 returns the process to the monitoring of the command transmitted from the main control unit 508 after the normal effect process of step S1495 (steps S1495 → S1400).

  When receiving the release-out command (command ID is 3) shown in FIG. 15, the sub-control unit 511 displays a window 901 having an RT release-out notification on the image display device 431 and informs the player of the RT. Announce the release outcome. (Steps S1425 → S1475 → S1400). This example is the case of FIG.
