Of course, BB is more advantageous than RB.

  Note that, when the stop operation is performed by the stop buttons 356A, 356B, and 356C, the slip control of a predetermined number of frames is executed according to the result of the internal lottery.

  That is, when the stop button 356A, 356B, 356C is operated at the stop timing of the symbol that stops only in the case of winning when the internal lottery is off, the stop position is shifted in order to intentionally avoid the stop at this symbol. (Kicking off) and controlling to stop at the off symbol arrangement.

  On the other hand, when the internal lottery is won, even if the winning symbol does not stop at the stop timing operated by the player, if the winning symbol is within the predetermined number of symbols, the stop position is set so that the winning symbol is intentionally stopped. Shifting (pull-in) control is performed.

  By kicking and pulling in, you can have consistency with the lottery results, and even if the timing of the stop operation is slightly shifted, you can align the winning symbols, allowing players to miss It is preventing in the range.

  FIG. 3 is a block diagram functionally showing a control system for normal game control in the main control unit 100.

  The start lever 354 is connected to the lottery unit 154, and after a predetermined number of medals have been inserted (betted), a lottery is executed with the operation of the start lever 354 as a trigger.

  The lottery unit 154 acquires a numerical value from the hardware random number counter when the start lever 354 is operated, and sends the acquired random number value to the symbol determining unit 158 of the winning combination via the table selecting unit 156. The table selection unit 156 obtains information indicating which gaming state is currently shown in FIG. 6 from the game program memory 162, and selects a table for determining the combination and symbol. Based on the table selected by the table selection unit 156, the winning combination / symbol determination unit 158 determines the winning combination (small role (including replay), major role (RB, BB)) and winning symbol shown in FIG. And sent to the gaming state control unit 160.

  FIG. 6 shows a winning area division table for each internal lottery in the gaming state of this pachislot machine. FIG. 6 shows the winning area numbers in the row direction. 0 to No. In the 7 divisions up to 6, in the row direction, six game states are arranged: normal game, during BB internal selection, during RB internal selection, during normal operation during BB operation, during RB internal selection during BB operation, and RB game ing. In this table, unsuccessful winning means failure to draw. Replay means so-called (replay), and bell, watermelon, and cherry mean small roles. RB means regular bonus and BB means big bonus. FIG. 6 (chart) shows each winning area No. for each gaming state and for each set number of medals. The number of random numbers assigned to each is different. Also, at least for RB and BB, the number of random numbers assigned to the winning area varies depending on the setting values 1 to 6. In addition, “and RB” and “and BB” in FIG. 6 are RB and BB, respectively, in the game even if the random number is a small role or unjustified in each internal lottery. It is also possible to align.

  The game state control unit 160 is provided with a game execution control unit 160A, and program data is appropriately read from the game program memory 162, and processing is executed based on the program data. For example, in the normal game state, the normal game program is read from the game program memory 162, and in the big game state, the big game is played according to the internal winning state of BB and RB and the respective game states of BB and RB. A program is read and processing is executed based on each program data.

  Based on the start operation of the start lever 354, the reel drive control unit 164 drives the reel motors 106A, 106B, and 106C after 4.1 seconds have elapsed from the end of the previous game, and controls the reels 350A, 350B, and 350C. Start spinning. In addition, a flag management control unit 166 is connected to the gaming state control unit 160, and in the normal game control in the gaming state control unit 160, an internal winning combination is made based on information from the winning combination / symbol determination unit 158. The establishment / non-establishment of the corresponding flag is managed, and the information from the winning combination / symbol determining unit 158 is the winning area No. In the case of 0 to 4, the state of the flag is stored in the big game flag memory 170. In general, the state of the flag in the small role flag memory 168 disappears in one game (the flag is not established), and the state of the flag in the big role flag memory 170 is wisdom paper by each reel 350A, 350B, 350C. By displaying the big role symbol in a predetermined state on the display window 314, it is maintained until the big role is established.

  The states of the small role flag memory 168 and the big role flag memory 170 are sent to the reel drive control unit 164, and are slips for pulling or kicking in the stop control based on the operation of the stop buttons 356A, 356B, 356C. It is applied as a control parameter.

  Position detection sensors 172A, 172B, and 172C are attached to the reels 350A, 350B, and 350C, respectively, and the stop positions of the reels 350A, 350B, and 350C are recognized by the reel drive control unit 164, and the slip control is performed. In addition, the reels 350A, 350B, and 350C are stopped, and the symbol arrangement on the stopped reels 350A, 350B, and 350C is sent to the gaming state control unit 160.

  Based on the symbol arrangement of the reels 350A, 350B, and 350C that have been stopped, the gaming state control unit 160 confirms whether or not the winning combination has been established. If replay control is executed, if a big player, a predetermined payout is executed, and then the big player game program is read from the game program memory 162.

  In the big game, a regular bonus game program and a big bonus game program are separately stored, and are selectively read based on the big game winning.

  In the regular bonus program, a maximum of 12 games (maximum number of games) can be executed in the state that the lottery probability of the small role is higher than the lottery probability during the normal game as the right exercise. The regular bonus game ends when the player wins a maximum of 8 times (maximum number of wins) during any of these 12 games.

  On the other hand, in the big bonus program, three regular bonus games can be executed as exercise of rights. At this time, unlike the one-time regular bonus game, a plurality of types of regular bonus games having different maximum number of games and maximum number of winning games are set, and the regular bonus game is executed once (one unit). In addition, one of the set types of regular bonus games is selected (by lottery) and executed.

  In the present embodiment, two types of regular bonus games can be set. One has a maximum number of games of 12 and a maximum number of wins is 8 (pattern 1). The maximum number of games is 5, and the maximum number of wins is 3 (pattern 2).

  That is, a parameter management unit 160B is connected to the game execution control unit 160A, and a big bonus game is played based on the maximum number of games P and the maximum number of winning times T set by the BB parameter management unit 160B. Executed. A functional block diagram of the parameter management unit 160B is shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the winning area No. is selected at the time of internal lottery in the normal gaming state during the big bonus game. When the numerical value of 4 is extracted, the winning combination / symbol determining unit 158 determines the RB internal winning and transmits it to the gaming state control unit 160. The game state control unit 160 sends a lottery instruction signal from the game execution control unit 160A to the RB lottery unit 10 of the parameter management unit 160B.

  The RB lottery unit 10 receives the lottery instruction signal and executes a lottery for the type of RB game. In the present embodiment, one of two RB types (pattern 1 and pattern 2) is selected by lottery.

  When the RB type is selected in the RB lottery unit 10, this selection signal is sent to the parameter reading unit 12. In the parameter reading unit 12, the maximum game number value P value is read from the maximum game number memory 14 based on the selected pattern, and the maximum winning number value T value is read from the maximum winning number memory 16. The read parameters (P value and T value) are sent to the game execution control unit 160A via the parameter output unit 18.

  Since the game execution control unit 160A executes three regular bonus games during the big bonus game, the parameter management unit 160B executes a total of three RB type lotteries during one big bonus game. Become.

The operation of this embodiment will be described below.
(Normal game flow)
In the state where the medal is credited (or the medal is inserted from the medal insertion unit 320), the betting of the medal is completed by the operation of the single bet button 352A or the maximum bet button 352B, or the medal insertion unit When a bet is completed by inserting a medal from 320, the start lever 354 can be operated. When the start lever 354 is operated, a winning / losing lottery is performed simultaneously with this operation, and the reels 350A, 350B, and 350C start rotating under the control of the reel drive control unit 164.

  The result of the lottery is transmitted from the winning combination / symbol determination unit 158 to the gaming state control unit 160. The game state control unit 160 stores the flag in the small role flag memory 168 when the result of the lottery is unsuccessful, replayed, or small role, and stores the flag in the big role flag memory 170 when the result is RB or BB. Remember.

  The reel drive control unit 164 drives the reel motors 106A, 106B, and 106C according to the flags of the small role memory control unit 168 and the big role memory control unit 170, and stops the reels 350A, 350B, and 350C according to the player's subsequent operations. Control.

  Thereafter, when the player operates the stop buttons 356A, 356B, and 356C, the stop operation stops the rotation of the reels 350A, 350B, and 350C, but the flag that is heard from the small part flag memory 168 and the big part flag memory 170 is heard. Accordingly, the stop control of the reels 350A, 350B, and 350C is executed so that the corresponding symbol is drawn into a predetermined position taking into account the slip control or kicked off from the predetermined position. That is, when the flag is established, the winning symbol can be stopped at an accurate eye-pressing timing. Further, a slight shift in the stop operation timing is corrected by slip control. On the other hand, when the flag is not established, the reels 350A, 350B, and 350C are caused to slip even if they are pushed, so that they do not stop at the winning symbol.

  Next, when all the reels 350A, 350B, and 350C are stopped, it is determined whether or not the stop symbol is hit.

  If it is determined that the player is a major player in this determination, the bonus game control of a big bonus (BB) or regular bonus (RB) is executed according to the stop pattern (exercise of rights). Then, predetermined payout control preset for the small combination is executed.

  Here, in the big bonus game according to the present embodiment, three regular bonus games are executed, and parameters (maximum number of games P and maximum number of winning times T) at the time of execution of the three regular bonus games are parameters. The decision is made by lottery in the management unit 160B.

  That is, the three regular bonus games are not uniform, and the degree of advantage to the player differs depending on the result of the lottery. The RB type lottery probability is set based on a preset upper limit of the payout in the BB, and even if there are two types, the probability is not necessarily ½.

  Hereinafter, the flow of the big bonus game will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  First, in step 200, the RB type lottery is executed. Based on the lottery result, in step 202, the maximum number of games P is read from the maximum number of games memory 14, and then in step 204, the maximum number of times T is won from the maximum number of winning times memory 16. Read and go to step 206.

  In step 206, a winning symbol based on the RB type lottery (here, “BAR, BAR, BAR” as the winning symbol as pattern 1 and “BAR, BAR, 7” as the winning symbol as pattern 2) is determined, and step The process proceeds to 208 and waits for the result of the game by the player.

  When the player starts the game, the stop operation is performed by the stop buttons 356A, 356B, and 356C, and the stop symbol is fixed, in step 208, it is determined whether or not the stop symbol is “BAR / BAR / BAR”. . If a negative determination is made in step 208, the process proceeds to step 210 to determine whether or not the stop symbol is “BAR · BAR · 7”.

  If a negative determination is made in step 210, it is determined that the entry to the RB has been missed, the process returns to step 200, the RB type lottery is performed again, and the results of the next game are obtained through steps 202 and 204. wait.

  If an affirmative determination is made in step 208, the process proceeds to step 212 to execute the regular bonus game in pattern 1.

  During this time, a game similar to the normal game is started by the player, and the role lottery is executed in synchronization with the operation of the start lever 354 at that time.

  In step 212, it is determined whether or not some small combination is won in the combination lottery. If an affirmative determination is made, the number of medals corresponding to the corresponding small combination is paid out, and then the process proceeds to step 214. Note that most of the winning combinations in the BB are not missed, and by the player's stop operation, the symbols of the winning small combinations are almost certainly arranged and the payout is executed. In order to avoid missing out as much as possible, it is preferable to use “replay, replay, replay” as an accessory symbol in this RB game.

  In step 214, it is determined whether or not the number of wins is the maximum number of wins T (T = 8 in pattern 1). If a negative determination is made, the process returns to step 212 and the above steps are repeated.

  If an affirmative determination is made in step 214, it is determined that the predetermined number of wins has been reached, and the routine proceeds to step 216.

  On the other hand, if the determination in step 212 is negative, that is, if the selection is lost, the process proceeds to step 218. In step 218, it is determined whether or not the number of games has reached the maximum number of games P (P = 12 in pattern 1). If a negative determination is made, the process returns to step 212 and the above steps are repeated.

  If an affirmative determination is made in step 218, it is determined that the prescribed number of games has been reached, and the process proceeds to step 216.

  Here, if a negative determination is made in step 208 and an affirmative determination is made in step 210, the process proceeds to step 220 in order to execute the regular bonus game in pattern 2.

  In step 220, a game similar to a normal game is started by the player, and a role lottery is executed in synchronization with the operation of the start lever 354 at that time.

  In this lottery drawing, it is determined in step 220 whether or not some small combination has been won, and if an affirmative determination is made, the number of medals corresponding to the corresponding small combination is paid out, and then the routine proceeds to step 222. Note that most of the winning combinations in the BB are not missed in the same manner as in step 212, and the symbols of the winning small combinations are almost certainly obtained by the player's stop operation, and the payout is executed.

  In step 222, it is determined whether or not the number of wins is the maximum number of wins T (T = 3 in pattern 2). If a negative determination is made, the process returns to step 220 and the above steps are repeated.

  If an affirmative determination is made in step 222, it is determined that the prescribed number of wins has been reached, and the routine proceeds to step 216.

  On the other hand, if the determination in step 220 is negative, that is, if the selection is lost, the process proceeds to step 224. In step 224, it is determined whether or not the number of games has reached the maximum number of games P (P = 5 in pattern 2). If a negative determination is made, the process returns to step 220 and the above steps are repeated.

  If an affirmative determination is made in step 224, it is determined that the specified number of games has been reached, and the process proceeds to step 216.

  In step 216, it is determined whether or not the regular bonus game in BB has been executed three times. If the determination is negative, the process returns to step 200 to execute the next regular bonus game. If an affirmative determination is made in step 216, it is determined that the big bonus game has ended, and this routine ends.

  In the above embodiment, the RB to be internally drawn during the BB game is common, and after that, the symbol to be won is determined by another lottery, and the maximum number of games and the maximum number of wins are changed. In the present invention, the type of RB may be determined by random lottery accompanying the start operation of the start lever 354 without passing through such two lotteries. An embodiment in such a case is shown in FIGS.

  FIG. 7 shows a case where two types of winning areas RB1 and RB2 are set in the normal game during the BB operation. Here, for example, RB1 is the same as in the previous embodiment, the stop symbol is “BAR, BAR, BAR”, and when this symbol is complete, the maximum number of games 12 times, the maximum number of wins 8 times, RB2 is The stop symbol is “BAR, BAR, 7”, and when this symbol is available, the maximum number of games is set to 5 and the maximum number of wins is set to 3.

  In addition, in FIG. 8, as in FIG. 7, in the normal game at the time of BB operation, two types of winning areas of RB1 and RB2 are set, and also in the normal game RB, two types of winning areas of RB1 and RB2 are set. Is.

  Also here, for example, RB1 is the same as in the previous embodiment, the stop symbol is “BAR, BAR, BAR”, and when this symbol is aligned, the maximum number of games 12 times, the maximum number of wins 8 times, RB2 The stop symbol is “BAR, BAR, 7”, and when these symbols are arranged, the maximum number of games is set to 5 times and the maximum number of wins is set to 3 times.

  In the case of the embodiment shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, both of the types of RBs can be determined by the winning combination / symbol determination unit 158 shown in FIG. 3, and if RB1 and RB2 are selected, the winning combination is determined. Therefore, it is not necessary to perform the RB type lottery again in the parameter management unit 160B as in the previous embodiment.

  As described above, in this embodiment, in the three regular bonus games in the big bonus game, the types of each regular bonus game (here, the maximum number of games P and the maximum number of winning games T) can be set, and lottery Since it is selected and executed according to the above, it is not a uniform regular bonus, and it can proceed as a game rich in change. For this reason, the player can increase the sense of expectation and enhance the preference by a lottery with different degrees of advantage even during the big bonus game in addition to the normal role lottery.

  In addition, the types of regular bonus games are not standardized in this way, and by providing variations, it is possible to easily cope with various game specifications, especially without changing the hardware system, software system It is possible to respond only by changing (program). Therefore, from the viewpoint of recycling, the existing apparatus configuration can be used repeatedly without wasting it.
