The number of frame corresponding to each pattern of each rotary reel is made to correspond to stop data, which expresses the two states of stop and non-stop as to whether rotation is stopped or not in one bit, in simple stop tables 132-134 for left/middle/right reels which store each bit of the 21 bytes corresponding to the 21 symbols respectively. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

Description

  The present invention relates to a stop control technique for stopping the rotation of a rotary reel provided in a gaming machine such as a slot machine.

  Conventionally, for example, three left / middle / right rotating reels with multiple symbols are displayed. When the start switch is operated, all three rotating reels start rotating and a lottery is performed.・ When one of the right stop switches is operated, the rotating reels corresponding to the stop switch are controlled to stop based on the lottery result, and when all three rotating reels stop, the predetermined symbol becomes the predetermined winning line. 2. Description of the Related Art There are known gaming machines configured to determine that a winning is achieved when they are aligned, and to give a predetermined profit to a player (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2). The gaming machine described in Patent Document 1 includes a stop table that stores a frame number corresponding to each symbol of each rotary reel and the number of advance frames, and the number of advance frames corresponding to the frame number when each stop switch is operated. Only the frame number is advanced and stopped. In the gaming machine described in Patent Document 1, the number of advance frames is set to an integer of 0 to 4, so that 3 × 3 = 9 bits are used to describe stop data of three advance frames in binary number. However, the data is described in 8 bits by compressing the data. In addition, the gaming machine described in Patent Document 2 has an object of reducing the storage capacity of the stop table with respect to the gaming machine described in Patent Document 1, and stops or stops instead of the number of advance frames. It has a stop table that stores stop data that indicates the stop / non-stop status with 1 bit, and if the stop data corresponding to the frame number at the time of operation of the stop switch is non-stop, up to the stop frame number The rotating reel is advanced and stopped. In the stop table described in Patent Document 2, 8 types of stop tables can be described with 8 bits. Therefore, the stop table equivalent to the stop table described in Patent Document 1 with which 3 types of stop tables can be described with 8 bits is described. Can be reduced to 3/8.

JP-A-6-304300 (paragraph 0025, FIG. 4) Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-178987 (paragraph 0022, FIG. 2)

  By the way, it has been found that the stop table in which two states of stop and non-stop as described above are described by 1 bit cannot represent all the stop tables in which the number of advance frames is described. This will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of a stop table describing the number of advance frames of each rotary reel, and FIG. 12 is a stop table describing two states of stop and non-stop of each rotary reel: stop or non-stop. It is a figure which shows an example.

  If the stop table in FIG. 11 is used, for example, if the frame number at the time of operating the left stop switch is 6, the frame advances by 3 frames, if the frame number is 5, the frame advances by 2 frames, and if the frame number is 4, the frame advances by 1 frame. Stop if there is any. Therefore, even if the frame number at the time of operating the left stop switch is any of No. 6 to No. 3, it stops at the No. 3 position. As described above, in the stop table of FIG. 11, the left reel has a position where the advance frame number is “0”, that is, the frame number is 3 and 7 regardless of the frame number when the left stop switch is operated. No. 11, No. 15, No. 16, No. 16, and No. 20 will stop.

  For example, if the frame number at the time of operating the right stop switch is 3, advance 4 frames, if it is 2, advance 3 frames, if it is 1, advance 2 frames, if it is 0, advance 1 frame, If it is No. 20, stop. Therefore, even if the frame number when the right stop switch is operated is any of No. 3 to No. 0 and No. 20, it stops at the No. 20 position. Thus, in the stop table of FIG. 11, the right reel has a position where the advance frame number is “0”, that is, the frame number is No. 4, 6 regardless of the frame number when the right stop switch is operated. No. 9, No. 11, No. 15, No. 16, No. 16, and No. 20 will stop.

  In the left reel and the right reel of FIG. 11, the advance frame numbers are “0, 0”, “1, 0”, “2, 1, 0” from the bottom toward the frame number of “0”. ”,“ 3, 2, 1, 0 ”, or“ 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 ”, and“ 0 ”continues or decreases by 1 in order to“ 0 ” This is because it has become either.

  Therefore, in the stop table in which two states of stop and non-stop are described with 1 bit, as shown in FIG. 12, the frame number with the advance frame number “0” in FIG. 11 is set to “stop (1 in FIG. 12)”. By setting the other frame numbers to “non-stop (0 in FIG. 12)”, the stop control of the left reel and the right reel in FIG. 12 can be made the same as in FIG.

  On the other hand, the stop data for the middle reel in FIG. 12 is also set to “stop (1 in FIG. 12)” for the frame number with the advance number of “0” in FIG. 11, and “non-stop (in FIG. 12) for the other frame numbers. 0) ", but they do not represent the same stop control. For example, in the stop table of FIG. 12, even if the frame number when the middle stop switch is operated is any of Nos. 5 to 9, the middle reel stops at the position where the frame number is No. 5, and the frame number is No. 7. Never stop at the position.

  On the other hand, in the stop table of FIG. 11, when the frame number when the middle stop switch is operated is 8, the frame advances by one frame and stops at the position of 7, and when the frame number is 9, the frame advances by two frames. After that, it stops at the 7th position. Here, as shown in FIG. 11, the advance frame number of frame No. 7 is “2”, and when the frame number when the middle stop switch is operated is No. 7, the frame number is advanced by 2 frames. Stop at position 5. That is, in the stop table of FIG. 11, when the frame number at the time of operating the middle stop switch is 7, the frame advances by 2 frames, and when the frame number at the time of operation is 8 and 9, it stops at the 7th position. .

  As described above, in the stop table of FIG. 11, the middle reel stops even at a position where the advance frame number is other than “0”. This is because, in the frame numbers 9 to 6 of the middle reel, the number of advance frames is “2, 1, 2, 1”, which is decreased by 1 again from 2 without decreasing by 1 to “0”. Because. However, in the stop table of FIG. 12, only the stop data of choice of whether to stop or not can be described in each frame number, so that the stop control of the middle reel as shown in FIG. 11 cannot be expressed. .

  In this way, compared with the case where the stop table describing the number of advance frames shown in FIG. 11 is used, the stop table describing two states of stop / non-stop shown in FIG. When used, the capacity for storing the stop table can be reduced, but the type of stop control that can be realized is reduced, so that the interest of the game may be reduced.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and is a gaming machine, a gaming machine program, and a gaming machine that are capable of suppressing the reduction of the types of stop control that can be realized as much as possible while reducing the storage capacity of the stop table. It is an object of the present invention to provide a computer-readable recording medium in which a game machine program is recorded.

  In order to achieve the above object, a gaming machine according to the present invention includes a plurality of rotating reels each having a plurality of symbols displayed on the periphery thereof, and a start switch for starting rotation of each rotating reel by a player's operation. A plurality of stop switches provided corresponding to the respective rotating reels for stopping the rotation of the corresponding rotating reels by the operation of the player, and each of the predetermined specific reels among the plurality of rotating reels. The first stop table for the specific reel that stores the frame number corresponding to the symbol and the number of advance frames in association with each other, the frame number corresponding to each symbol of each rotating reel, and whether or not to stop the rotation A second stop table for each rotating reel for storing in association with stop data representing two states of stop / non-stop of 1 bit, and the plurality of stop switches When the stop switch corresponding to the specific reel is first operated, the stop of the specific reel is controlled using the first stop table, and the non-specific reel other than the specific reel is controlled by the non-specific reel. When the stop switch corresponding to the non-specific reel is operated first, the second stop table corresponding to the second stop table is used to control the stop of the non-specific reel. And a stop control means for controlling the stop of each of the rotating reels using a table (claim 1).

  The apparatus further comprises detection means for detecting a frame number corresponding to each symbol of each rotary reel located at a predetermined reference position, and when the first stop table is used, the stop control means is provided on the specific reel. When the corresponding stop switch is operated, the frame number corresponding to the symbol of the specific reel positioned at the reference position is detected by the detecting means, and the frame number corresponding to the detected frame number is advanced to advance. When the specific reel is stopped and the second stop table is used, the frame number corresponding to the symbol of each rotary reel positioned at the reference position when the stop switch corresponding to each rotary reel is operated is detected by the detection means. When the stop data associated with the detected frame number is stopped, the rotating reels are stopped at the frame number. Stop data is good even when the non-stop in which the stop data stops the reels are allowed to proceed until a frame number to be stopped (claim 2).

  In addition, a lottery means for performing lottery based on the operation of the start switch is further provided, and a plurality of the first stop tables are respectively provided corresponding to a plurality of lottery results of the lottery means. At least one second stop table is set for each of the rotating reels corresponding to a plurality of lottery results of the lottery means, and a plurality of the second stop tables are provided. A first stop table used for stop control is selected from the plurality based on a lottery result of the lottery means, and a second stop table used for stop control of the non-specific reel is selected from the plurality based on a lottery result of the lottery means. It may be selected (Claim 3).

  In addition, a plurality of first selection data respectively corresponding to the plurality of first stop tables are further provided, and each of the rotating reels has N (N is an integer of 2 or more) symbols, and the advance The number of frames is an integer from 0 to M (M is a positive integer of 15 or less), and the first stop table has the number of advance frames associated with the frame number corresponding to each of the N symbols. Are stored in the upper 4 bits and the lower 4 bits of the N-byte table data, a plurality of the N-byte table data are provided, and the plurality of first selection data are each of the plurality of N-byte table data. The stop control means corresponds to either the upper 4 bits or the lower 4 bits of one table data of the table data, and the stop control means is based on the lottery result of the lottery means. Determine one of the first selected data from the data, it may be to select the first stop table corresponding to the first selected data this decision (claim 4).

  The apparatus further comprises detection means for detecting a frame number corresponding to each symbol of each rotary reel located at a predetermined reference position, and when the first stop table is used, the stop control means is provided on the specific reel. When the corresponding stop switch is operated, the frame number corresponding to the symbol of the specific reel positioned at the reference position is detected by the detecting means, and the frame number corresponding to the detected frame number is advanced to advance. When the specific reel is stopped and the second stop table is used, the frame number corresponding to the symbol of each rotary reel positioned at the reference position when the stop switch corresponding to each rotary reel is operated is detected by the detection means. When the stop data associated with the detected frame number is stopped, the rotating reels are stopped at the frame number. Stop data is good even when the non-stop in which the stop data stops the reels are allowed to proceed until a frame number to be stopped (claim 5).

  Each of the rotating reels further includes a plurality of second selection data corresponding to the plurality of second stop tables, respectively, and the stop control unit is configured to perform the rotations based on a lottery result of the lottery unit. For each reel, one second selection data is determined from the plurality of second selection data, and when the stop switch corresponding to the specific reel is operated for the first time, the reference position is set when the specific reel is stopped. The frame number corresponding to the symbol of the specific reel positioned is detected by the detection means, the second selection data is changed based on the detection result of the detection means and the lottery result of the lottery means, and the changed second The second stop table corresponding to the selection data may be selected (claim 6).

  Further, the plurality of rotating reels and the plurality of stop switches may be arranged side by side in the horizontal direction, and the specific reel and the stop switch corresponding to the specific reel may be arranged at the left end, respectively. (Claim 7).

  In order to achieve the above object, a game machine program according to the present invention starts rotation of a plurality of rotating reels each having a plurality of symbols displayed on the periphery thereof and the player's operation to rotate the rotating reels. And a plurality of stop reels each provided with a start switch and a plurality of stop switches provided corresponding to the respective rotary reels for stopping the rotation of the corresponding rotary reels by the player's operation. Among the first stop table for the specific reel that stores the frame number corresponding to each predetermined symbol of the specific reel and the number of advance frames, and the frame number corresponding to each symbol of the rotating reel. And a second stop table for each rotating reel that stores in association with stop data representing one bit of stop / non-stop states of whether or not to stop rotation. And when a stop switch corresponding to the specific reel among the plurality of stop switches is first operated, the stop of the specific reel is controlled using the first stop table, and other than the specific reel For a non-specific reel, the second stop table corresponding to the non-specific reel is used to control the stop of the non-specific reel, while when a stop switch corresponding to the non-specific reel is first operated, The second stop table is used for each rotary reel to function as stop control means for controlling the stop of each rotary reel (claim 8).

  In order to achieve the above object, a computer-readable recording medium on which a gaming machine program according to the present invention is recorded includes a plurality of rotating reels each having a plurality of symbols displayed thereon, and a player's operation. A start switch for starting the rotation of each of the rotating reels, and a plurality of stop switches provided corresponding to the respective rotating reels for stopping the rotation of the corresponding rotating reels by the operation of the player. A first stop table for the specific reel that stores the game machine in association with a frame number corresponding to each symbol of a predetermined specific reel among the plurality of rotary reels and the number of advance frames, and each rotation Corresponds to the frame number corresponding to each symbol of the reel and stop data that represents 1 state of 2 stop / non-stop states of whether or not to stop the rotation. When the stop switch corresponding to the specific reel among the plurality of stop switches is first operated, the specific reel is stored using the first stop table. The non-specific reels other than the specific reels are controlled using the second stop table corresponding to the non-specific reels, while the non-specific reels are stopped. When the stop switch is operated for the first time, the second stop table is used for each rotary reel to function as stop control means for controlling the stop of each rotary reel (claim 9). .

  According to the first, eighth, and ninth inventions, the first stop table that stores the frame number corresponding to each symbol of the specific reel and the number of advance frames in association with each other is used only for the specific reel, There is provided a second stop table for each rotating reel that stores a frame number corresponding to a symbol and stop data indicating one stop state indicating whether the rotation is stopped or not stopped in one bit. Therefore, the storage capacity of the stop table can be reduced as compared with, for example, an apparatus as described in Patent Document 1 that stores the frame number and the advance frame number in association with each other for each reel. When the stop switch corresponding to the specific reel is operated first, the stop of the specific reel is controlled using the first stop table, and the non-specific reels other than the specific reel correspond to the non-specific reel. Since the stop of the non-specific reel is controlled using the second stop table, only the stop table that stores the frame number and the stop data represented by 1 bit in association with each other is used. The number of types of stop control that can be realized can be increased as compared with the apparatus, and the frame number and the advance frame number are stored in association with each rotation reel, for example, compared with the apparatus described in Patent Document 1 above. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the reduction of the types of stop control that can be realized as much as possible. Furthermore, since the stop table used for stop control is changed depending on whether the stop switch operated first corresponds to a specific reel or a non-specific reel, the stop control of each rotating reel is rich in variety. Can be.

  According to the second and fifth aspects of the invention, when the first stop table is used, the frame number corresponding to the symbol of the specific reel located at the predetermined reference position is detected when the stop switch corresponding to the specific reel is operated. Since the specific reel is stopped by advancing by the number of advance frames corresponding to the detected frame number, the stop control of the specific reel can be made various. The interest of the player can be enhanced. When the second stop table is used, the frame number corresponding to the symbol of each rotary reel positioned at the reference position is detected by the detecting means when the stop switch corresponding to each rotary reel is operated, and the detected frame number is set to the detected frame number. When the associated stop data is stopped, each rotating reel is stopped at the frame number, and when the stop data is not stopped, the rotating data is advanced to the frame number at which the stop data is stopped to stop each rotating reel. Therefore, the stop control of each rotating reel can be performed with a simple stop table with reduced necessary storage capacity.

  According to the invention of claim 3, the first stop table used for the stop control of the specific reel is selected based on the lottery result of the lottery means, and the second stop table used for the stop control of the non-specific reel is selected by the lottery means. Since the selection is made on the basis of the result, it is possible to perform a variety of stop control of each rotating reel according to the lottery result of the lottery means.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, a lottery is performed from a plurality of first selection data corresponding to either the upper 4 bits or the lower 4 bits of one table data among a plurality of N-byte table data. Since one first selection data is determined based on the lottery result of the means and the first stop table corresponding to the determined first selection data is selected, the first stop table can be easily selected based on the lottery result.

  According to the sixth aspect of the present invention, one second selection data is determined from a plurality of second selection data for each rotating reel based on the lottery result of the lottery means, and the stop switch corresponding to the specific reel Is first operated, the frame number corresponding to the symbol of the specific reel positioned at the reference position when the specific reel is stopped is detected by the detection means, and based on the detection result of the detection means and the lottery result of the lottery means Since the second selection data is changed and the second stop table corresponding to the changed second selection data is selected, for example, the position where the symbols of the non-specific reels are aligned with respect to the symbols of the specific reels is changed even in the same lottery result. The non-specific reel can be controlled in a variety of ways.

  According to the invention of claim 7, the plurality of rotating reels and the plurality of stop switches are respectively arranged in the horizontal direction, and the specific reel and the stop switch corresponding to the specific reel are respectively disposed on the left end. However, in general, since the player often operates the stop switch at the left end first, in many cases, the first stop table is used for stop control of the specific reel. Can be increased.

  FIG. 1 is a front view of a slot machine which is an embodiment of a gaming machine according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of a symbol arrangement of a rotating reel, and FIG. 3 is an arrangement of frame numbers corresponding to symbols of the rotating reel.

A hopper unit 43 (see FIG. 4) for discharging medals to the payout opening 39 is disposed below the rotary reels 13L, 13M, and 13R inside the housing 3.

  FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing an electrical configuration of the slot machine 1, and FIG. 5 is a functional block diagram showing functions of the main control board 63. In FIG. 4, the insertion sensor 51 is provided in the vicinity of the medal insertion slot 25 inside the housing 3 and detects inserted medals one by one. The payout sensor 53 is provided at the exit of the hopper unit 43 and detects medals paid out to the payout outlet 39 one by one. The left / middle / right position sensors 55L, 55M, and 55R are for detecting the rotation positions of the left / middle / right rotation reels 13L, 13M, and 13R, for example, the left / middle / right rotation reels 13L, 13M, 13R includes photo interrupters that detect protrusions provided on the respective 13Rs. When the left / middle / right rotating reels 13L, 13M, and 13R rotate, the protrusions are detected every rotation and the detection signal is output to the main control board 63. To do. In this embodiment, for example, when the left / middle / right position sensors 55L, 55M, and 55R detect the protrusions, the symbol of frame number 20 is arranged in the middle of the display window 11, respectively. . In this embodiment, each of the rotary reels 13L, 13M, and 13R is rotationally driven by, for example, a stepping motor.

  Further, in the slot machine 1, a main control board 63 on which a main CPU 61 that performs control related to games is mounted and a sub control board 73 on which a sub CPU 71 that controls effects related to games are mounted are provided separately. ing. The RAM 65 of the main control board 63 temporarily stores data, and the ROM 67 stores a game machine program including preset data (such as a stop table described later). The main CPU 61 controls the game by operating in accordance with the game machine program. Further, the main CPU 61 sends data related to the game to the sub CPU 71 as effect control data. The memory 75 of the sub-control board 73 includes a RAM unit that temporarily stores data and a ROM unit that stores an effect program. The sub CPU 71 controls the effect related to the game by operating according to the effect program based on the effect control data from the main CPU 61. For example, the sub CPU 71 displays a moving image on the liquid crystal display 27, generates music from the speakers 31L and 31R, or generates music from the speakers 31L and 31R in accordance with an effect pattern set in advance corresponding to the progress of the game or the lottery result. The light sources of the lamp unit 33 and the lower lamp units 37L and 37R are blinked simultaneously or individually.

  In FIG. 5, the game control means 100 of the main control board 63 controls the game. The game includes a normal game which is a general game and a special game (bonus game) which is a game advantageous to the player over the normal game, and the game control means 100 controls these games.

  Briefly explaining the normal game, in this slot machine 1, the insertion sensor 51 detects the insertion of a medal from the medal insertion slot 25, or the operation of the bet switch 15 or the maximum bet switch 17 instructs the insertion of a credit medal. If there is, the game is started. When the start switch 19 is operated after the game is started, first, a winning lottery for determining whether or not the game is won is performed, and rotation of all three rotary reels 13L, 13M, and 13R starts almost simultaneously. Thereafter, when one of the three stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R is operated, the rotation of the rotary reels 13L, 13M, and 13R corresponding to the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R is stopped. When all the three stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R have been operated, the rotation of all the three rotary reels 13L, 13M, and 13R is stopped. At this time, when a predetermined symbol stops at a predetermined position, a prize is won, and a predetermined number of medals are paid out to the player by the hopper unit 43, or a predetermined profit such as replay is given to the player. The Instead of paying out medals, credit medals may be stored inside.

  The result of the role lottery includes a specific introduction game win (Big Bonus (BB) win), a specific game win (Regular Bonus (RB) win), a small role win, a replay win (Replay Win), There is. In addition, the prize includes a specific introduction game prize (BB prize) related to the transition to the specific introduction game (BB game), a specific game prize (RB prize) related to the transition to the specific game (RB game), and a predetermined number of games. Small prize winning related to the payout of the medal and replay winning related to the execution of replay (Replay).

  The RB game refers to a game having a higher probability of winning than a normal game by allowing a specific winning game (JAC game) to be performed a plurality of times, and the BB game refers to a game having a higher probability of introducing an RB game. . When three predetermined symbols (for example, “7” and “frog”) are arranged on the winning line, a BB winning is made, and when there is a payout, a medal is paid out and the game shifts from the normal game to the BB game. . Further, when three predetermined symbols (for example, “BAR”) are arranged on the winning line, an RB winning is made. When there is a payout, a medal is paid out and the game shifts from the normal game to the RB game. In addition, when three predetermined symbols (for example, “watermelon” and “bell”) are aligned on the winning line, or when a single winning symbol (for example, “cherry”) of the left rotating reel 13L is stopped on the winning line, A small prize is awarded, and a predetermined number of medals are paid out. Further, for example, when three symbols of “Replay” are arranged on the winning line, it becomes a Replay winning, and the game can be played again under the same conditions as the previous game without inserting a new medal.

  When the result of the winning lottery is BB winning, the rotary reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are controlled to stop based on the BB winning. However, if the BB winning is not applied at this time, the BB winning is determined as BB winning. It will be carried over until is granted. The same applies to RB winning. The states where the BB winning or the RB winning is carried over are referred to as “per BB internal” and “per RB internal”, respectively. On the other hand, the small role winning is not carried over to the next game unless a small role winning is awarded in a game in which the result of lottery winning is a small role winning. The same applies to Replay winning.

  The lottery means 110 performs a lottery. As shown in FIG. 5, a hard random number generating means 111, a hard random number extracting means 112, a role lottery table 113, a role lottery determining means 114, and a stop table to be described later, as shown in FIG. Soft random number generation means 115 and soft random number extraction means 116 for selection are provided.

  The hard random number generating means 111 generates a random number for winning lottery within a predetermined range (for example, 0 to 16383 in decimal number). The hard random number generation means 111 is constituted by, for example, an oscillation circuit and a counter circuit that counts clock signals generated by the oscillation circuit. The hard random number extraction unit 112 extracts a random number generated by the hard random number generation unit 111. The random number generated by the hard random number generation unit 111 is obtained under a predetermined condition (for example, operation of the start switch 19 in this embodiment). Extract. The combination lottery table 113 is a table in which whether or not a lot of random numbers generated by the hard random number generator 111 is won is determined in advance at a predetermined ratio. In the combination lottery table 113, all ranges of random numbers generated by the hard random number generator 111 are selected as BB, RB, small role, Replay, or lost. Is determined in advance at a predetermined rate. The role lottery determination unit 114 compares the random number extracted by the hard random number extraction unit 112 with the role lottery table 113 and determines the role lottery result. Whether the role lottery result is BB winning or RB winning. It is judged whether it is a small role winning, a Replay winning or a loss.

  The soft random number generator 115 generates a random number for selecting a stop table within a predetermined range (for example, 0 to 255 in decimal number). This soft random number generation means 115 is constituted by means for generating random numbers by, for example, an average sampling method, or means for generating random numbers by adding prime numbers. The soft random number extraction means 116 extracts the random number generated by the soft random number generation means 115, and the random number generated by the soft random number generation means 115 is determined under a predetermined condition (for example, operation of the start switch 19 in this embodiment). Extract.

  Based on the detection signals of the left / middle / right position sensors 55L, 55M, 55R and the number of pulses supplied to each stepping motor that drives the left / middle / right rotating reels 13L, 13M, 13R, -The rotation positions of the middle / right rotation reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are detected. In other words, the detection means 120 has a symbol positioned at a predetermined reference position (in this embodiment, for example, the middle stage of the display window 11) while the left / middle / right rotation reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are rotating and stopped. Each corresponding frame number is detected.

  The stop control means 125 performs stop control of each rotary reel 13L, 13M, 13R using the stop table 130 based on the lottery result of the lottery means 110. This stop table 130 is for determining the stop position of each of the rotary reels 13L, 13M, 13R. As shown in FIG. 5, the stop frame number stop table 131, the left reel simple stop table 132, A simple reel stop table 133 and a simple reel right stop table 134 are provided. 6 is a part of the advance frame number stop table 131, FIG. 7 is a left reel simple stop table 132, FIG. 8 is a middle reel simple stop table 133, and FIG. 9 is a right reel simple stop table 134. FIG.

  The advance frame number stop table 131 associates a frame number corresponding to each symbol of the left rotation reel 13L with a predetermined advance frame number. In this advanced frame number stop table 131, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, one table data is set with a capacity of 21 bytes corresponding to 21 symbols, and the stop table X1 is set in each upper 4 bits of 21 bytes. However, a stop table X2 is stored in each lower 4 bits. That is, two types of advance frame number stop tables 131 are stored for 21 symbols with a capacity of 21 bytes.

  In the left reel simple stop table 132, a frame number corresponding to each symbol of the left rotating reel 13L is associated with stop data representing one state of two states of stop / non-stop of rotation. It is what was done. In the left reel simple stop table 132, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, one table data is set with a capacity of 21 bytes corresponding to 21 symbols, and stop tables BTR30 to BTR37 are set in each bit of 21 bytes. Are stored. That is, eight types of left reel simple stop tables 132 are stored for 21 symbols with a capacity of 21 bytes. Further, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the simple stop tables 133 and 134 for the middle and right reels are configured in the same manner as the simple stop table 132 for the left reel, and each of the 21 symbols with a capacity of 21 bytes and 8 symbols. A simple stop table 133, 134 for the middle and right reels of the type is stored.

  And the stop control means 125 selects the stop table used for stop control of each rotating reel 13L, 13M, 13R based on the lottery result of the lottery means 110. That is, the stop control means 125 is based on the determination result of the combination lottery determination means 114 and the random number extracted by the soft random number extraction means 116, and the first selection data DATA1 and the second selection data DATA2 used for selection of the stop table 130. To decide. Then, when the left stop switch 21L is first operated among the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R, the stop control means 125 uses the first selection data DATA1 from the advance frame number stop table 131. One stop table is selected, and stop control of the left rotating reel 13L is performed using the selected stop table. Further, the second selection data DATA2 is changed based on the frame number detection result corresponding to the design of the reference position (middle stage of the display window 11) of the stopped left rotation reel 13L by the detection means 120 and the lottery result of the lottery means 110, One stop table is selected from each of the simple stop tables 132 and 133 for the middle and right reels using the changed second selection data DATA2. Then, using the selected stop table, stop control of the middle / right rotation reels 13M, 13R is performed according to the operation of the middle / right stop switches 21M, 21R.

  On the other hand, when a stop switch other than the left stop switch 21L, that is, the middle stop switch 21M or the right stop switch 21R is first operated, the second selection data DATA2 determined first is used for the left / middle / right reel. One stop table is selected from each of the simple stop tables 132, 133, and 134, and the selected stop table is used to rotate the left, middle, and right rotating reels according to the operation of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R. Stop control of 13L, 13M, and 13R is performed.

  When the advance frame number stop table 131 is used, the detection means 120 detects the frame number corresponding to the symbol of the left rotating reel 13L located in the middle stage (reference position) of the display window 11 when the left stop switch 21L is operated. The counterclockwise reel 13L is stopped by advancing by the number of advance frames associated with the frame number. That is, for example, when the number of advance frames is “0”, the symbols displayed in the middle of the display window 11 when the left stop switch 21L is operated are displayed as they are in the middle of the display window 11, and the number of advance frames is “1”. In this case, the symbol displayed in the middle of the display window 11 when the left stop switch 21L is operated advances one frame in the rotation direction of the left rotating reel 13L and is displayed in the lower part of the display window 11. For example, when the stop table X1 is used in the advance frame number stop table 131 of FIG. 6, the symbol of the frame number 8 (“Bell” in FIG. 2) of the left rotating reel 13L is displayed when the left stop switch 21L is operated. When positioned at the middle stage of the window 11, the counterclockwise reel 13L is stopped so that the symbol of frame number 4 ("Replay" in FIG. 2) advances and stops at the middle stage of the display window 11 by four frames. Be controlled.

  Further, when the intermediate reel simple stop table 133 is used, the detection means 120 detects the frame number corresponding to the symbol of the intermediate rotating reel 13M located at the middle stage (reference position) of the display window 11 when the intermediate stop switch 21M is operated. Then, it is determined whether or not the stop data associated with the frame number is “stop”. When it is “stop”, it is stopped as it is, while when it is “non-stop”, it is advanced by one frame, and it is determined again whether or not the stop data is “stop”. In this way, the intermediate rotation reel 13M is stopped by advancing one frame at a time until the stop data becomes “stop”. For example, when the stop table BTR35 of the simple stop table 133 for the middle reel in FIG. 8 is used, the symbol of frame number 9 (“BAR” in FIG. 2) of the middle rotating reel 13M is displayed when the middle stop switch 21M is operated. When positioned at the middle stage of the window 11, the intermediate rotating reel 13M is stopped so that the symbol of frame number 5 ("Replay" in FIG. 2) stops at the middle stage of the display window 11 by proceeding by four frames. Be controlled. Similar stop control is performed when the left and right reel simple stop tables 132 and 134 are used.

  A plurality of advance frame number stop tables 131 are provided for each combination lottery result. In this case, the advance frame number stop table 131 is determined so that the relationship between the rotation position of the left rotating reel 13L when the left stop switch 21L is operated and the advance frame number may be different. As a result, even when the result of lottery is the same and the rotation position of the left rotating reel 13L is the same when the left stop switch 21L is operated, the stop position of the left rotating reel 13L (displayed on the display window 11). The design may be different.

  In this embodiment, for example, 11 pieces of 21-byte table data as shown in FIG. 6 are provided. Accordingly, 11 × 2 = 22 types of advance frame number stop tables 131 are provided in total. Then, based on the value of the first selection data DATA1, one advance frame number stop table 131 is selected from among the 22 types. In this embodiment, for example, if DATA1 = 1, the stop table X2 stored in the lower 4 bits of FIG. 6 is selected, and if DATA1 = 2, the stop table X1 stored in the upper 4 bits of FIG. Is to be selected. In this embodiment, the same advance frame number stop table 131 may be selected even if the result of the lottery drawing is different.

  Further, a plurality of simple stop tables 132, 133, and 134 for the left, middle, and right reels are provided for each result lottery result. Thereby, even if the result of the lottery is the same, the stop position of the symbol may be different. Here, the simple stop tables 132, 133, and 134 for the left, middle, and right reels are each provided with, for example, 12 groups of 21-byte table data shown in FIGS. Therefore, 12 × 8 = 96 types of simple stop tables 132, 133, and 134 are provided for each reel in total.

  When the stop table is selected from the left / middle / right reel simple stop tables 132, 133, 134, the simple stop tables 132, 133 are selected so that the corresponding bit stop table of the corresponding group is selected. , 134 are set. Each of the simple stop tables 132 to 134 in FIGS. 7 to 9 indicates a group (for example, a seventh group) corresponding to each other. For example, when the left stop switch 21L is first operated and only the middle / right reel simple stop tables 133 and 134 are used, for example, when the stop table BTR35 of FIG. 8 is selected, the stop table BTR35 of FIG. Is selected. Further, for example, when the middle stop switch 21M is operated first and the left / middle / right reel simple stop tables 132, 133, 134 are used, for example, when the stop table BTR31 of FIG. The stop table BTR31 in FIG. 9 is selected. That is, the second selection data DATA2 indicates a group number and a bit number among the simple stop tables 132 to 134, and the stop table is selected by the second selection data DATA2.

  The winning determination unit 140 determines a winning when the detecting unit 120 detects that a predetermined symbol has stopped at a predetermined position. Specifically, the winning determination means 140 determines that a BB winning is achieved when three “7” or “frog” symbols are aligned on the winning line, and an RB when three “BAR” symbols are aligned on the winning line. Judged as winning. Further, the winning determination means 140 determines that each of the “watermelon” or “bell” symbols is aligned on the winning line, or the “cherry” of the left rotating reel 13L stops on the winning line, and each of them is determined to be a small role winning. To do. Further, the winning determination means 140 determines that a Replay winning is made when three “Replay” symbols are arranged on the winning line. The payout control means 150 controls the hopper unit 43 to pay out the number of medals according to the winning mode when winning. Further, the payout control means 150 may increase the credit medals by the payout number instead of controlling the hopper unit 43.

  Thus, in this embodiment, the left rotating reel 13L corresponds to the “specific reel” of the present invention, and the middle / right rotating reels 13M and 13R correspond to the “non-specific reel” of the present invention, and the number of advance frames is stopped. The table 131 corresponds to the “first stop table for a specific reel” of the present invention, and the simple stop tables 132, 133, and 134 for the left, middle, and right reels are respectively “the second stop table for each rotating reel” of the present invention. Is equivalent to.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing an example of the control procedure of the rotating reel. When the insertion sensor 51 detects the insertion of a medal from the medal insertion slot 25, or when there is a credit medal insertion instruction by operating the bet switch 15 or the maximum bet switch 17, the game is started and the operation of FIG. Executed.

  First, when the start switch 19 is operated (YES in Step # 10), the rotation of the rotary reels 13L, 13M, and 13R is started, and lottery is performed by the lottery means 110 (Step # 11). Based on the determination result of the determination unit 114 and the random number extracted by the soft random number extraction unit 116, the first selection data DATA1 and the second selection data DATA2 are determined (step # 12). Next, it is determined whether or not the left stop switch 21L is first operated among the left / middle / right stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R (step # 13).

  When the left stop switch 13L is first operated (YES in Step # 13), the advance frame number stop table 131 is selected based on the first selection data DATA1, and the selected advance frame number stop table 131 is selected. The stop control of the left rotating reel 13L is performed (step # 14). Next, the second selection data DATA2 is changed using the frame number detection result corresponding to the design of the reference position of the left rotating reel 13L stopped by the detection means 120 and the lottery result of the lottery means 110 (step # 15). The middle / right reel simple stop tables 133, 134 are selected using the changed second selection data DATA2, and the middle / right reel simple table selected according to the operation of the middle / right stop switches 21M, 21R, respectively. Using the stop tables 133 and 134, stop control of the middle / right rotating reels 13M and 13R is performed (step # 16).

  On the other hand, when the middle stop switch 21M or the right stop switch 21R is first operated among the left / middle / right stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R (NO in step # 13), the determination is made in step # 12. The left / middle / right reel simple stop tables 132, 133, and 134 are selected using the second selection data DATA2, and the selected left is selected according to the operation of the left / middle / right stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R. The stop control of the left / middle / right rotating reels 13L, 13M, 13R is performed using the middle / right reel simple stop tables 132, 133, 134 (step # 17).

  As described above, according to this embodiment, the frame number corresponding to each symbol of each of the rotating reels 13L, 13M, and 13R and the two states of stopping / not stopping of rotation are represented by 1 bit. Since the left / middle / right reel simple stop tables 132, 133, and 134 for storing stop data in association with each other are provided, a stop table in which the frame number and the advance frame number are associated with each rotation reel is stored. Compared to the case, the storage capacity of the stop table can be reduced.

  In addition, there is provided an advance frame number stop table 131 that stores a frame number corresponding to each symbol of the left rotating reel 13L and an advance frame number in association with each other, and when the left stop switch 21L is operated for the first time, a plurality of advance numbers are provided. Since the stop of the left rotating reel 13L is controlled using the stop table selected from the frame number stop table 131, this can be realized as compared with the case where only the left, middle and right reel simple stop tables 132, 133 and 134 are provided. The number of types of stop control can be increased, and the number of types of stop control that can be realized can be reduced compared to storing a stop table that associates the frame number with the number of advanced frames for each reel. As long as it can be suppressed. Generally, since the player often operates the left stop switch 21L first, in many cases, the player proceeds to stop control of the left rotating reel 13L and uses the frame number stop table 131. Therefore, the player is not aware of a decrease in the type of stop control, and the player's interest can be enhanced.

  Further, based on the lottery result of the lottery means 110, the second selection data DATA2 indicating one stop table is determined from the left / middle / right reel simple stop tables 132, 133, and 134, and the left stop switch 21L is first set. The second selection data DATA2 is changed based on the frame number detection result corresponding to the symbol of the reference position of the stopped left rotation reel 13L by the detection means 120 and the lottery result of the lottery means 110. Since the middle / right reel simple stop tables 133, 134 indicated by the second selection data DATA2 are selected, for example, the symbols of the middle / right rotating reels 13M, 13R with respect to the symbol of the left rotating reel 13L even with the same lottery result. A variety of stop controls are possible, such as controlling to change the position where the lines are aligned.

  Further, when the stop table is selected from the left / middle / right reel simple stop tables 132, 133, and 134, the simple stop tables 132 and 133 are selected so that the corresponding bit stop table of the corresponding group is selected. , 134 are set, the simple stop tables 132, 133, 134 for each reel can be selected based on one second selection data DATA2, and the storage capacity for storing the second selection data DATA2 is increased. Can be reduced. Furthermore, it is possible to reduce the storage capacity of the game machine program when the stop table is selected based on the second selection data DATA2.
