  At the start of the game, the player operates the bet switch 40 to insert a previously stored medal, or inserts a medal from the medal slot to set an effective line, and turns on the start switch 41. When the start switch 41 is turned on, the number of effective lines is determined and all the reels 31 are started (rotation is started).

  Then, the player presses each stop switch 42 to stop the rotation of each reel 31. When all the reels 31 are stopped, when the combination of symbols of the reels 31 on the active line matches a predetermined combination of symbols of a certain combination and the winning combination of that combination is won, Payout etc. are performed.

(Design combination line, effective line)
Although not shown, a symbol combination line (effective line) is provided in a portion including the display window of the slot machine 10.
Here, the “symbol combination line” is a line of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped, and is a line that forms a combination of symbols. In the present embodiment, it is composed of a total of five lines: lines provided respectively in the middle, upper, and lower stages in the horizontal direction, and diagonal lines in the downward and leftward diagonal directions. The three symbols that are continuous above and below each reel 31 are positioned on one or more symbol combination lines.

Further, an effective line and an invalid line are set from the five symbol combination lines.
Here, the “effective line” is a line for winning a winning combination when a combination of symbols corresponding to any of the winning combinations is stopped on that line.
On the other hand, an “invalid line” is a line that is not set as an effective line among symbol combination lines, and even if a combination of symbols corresponding to any combination stops on that line, This is a line that does not give profits (medal payout etc.). In other words, the invalid line is a line that is not a target of combination of symbols in the first place.

Here, in this embodiment, when a medal is inserted, two of the horizontal upper and lower symbol combination lines are set as valid lines, and the remaining three symbol combination lines are set as invalid lines. .
In this embodiment, the number of medals inserted in one game may be one or three. However, there is no change in the effective line depending on the number of medals inserted, and the number of medals inserted is either one or three. Two of the horizontal and upper symbol combination lines are set as effective lines.
The number of effective lines corresponding to the number of inserted medals is not limited to the above, and can be set in various patterns.

The game control means 60 includes the following part lottery means 61 and the like. The following means in the present embodiment are examples, and the game control means 60 is not limited to the means shown in the present embodiment.
(Role, role lottery means)
The role lottery means 61 performs a lottery for a role. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the types of winning combinations and winning probabilities in the present embodiment. 2BB, CB, a small combination and a replay are provided as types of combination in the present embodiment.

  Here, 2BB is a role corresponding to a special role in the present invention, and a role to be shifted to a 2BB game corresponding to a special game in the present invention. Further, CB is a role corresponding to the stop control change combination in the present invention, and is a role to shift to the CB game corresponding to the stop control change game in the present invention. These 2BB games and CB games will be described later.

Furthermore, a small combination is a combination in which a predetermined number of game media (medals in this embodiment) are paid out. In this exemplary embodiment, two types of small combination 1 and small combination 2 are provided. Here, the small combination 1 corresponds to the specific small combination in the present invention.
In addition, the replay is a re-playing role in which the next game (re-playing) can be performed without inserting medals. Depending on the game state, there are both a case where replay can be performed while maintaining the number of medals inserted in the game and a case where replay can be performed with a medal number different from the number of medals inserted in the game.

Furthermore, a combination is determined for each gaming state. That is, a role lottery table 62 described later is provided for each gaming state.
For example, as a combination during a normal game, 2BB, CB, small combination, and replay are provided as shown in the combination lottery table 62a. On the other hand, in the 2BB game, as shown in the role lottery table 62e, a lottery only for replay is performed, and a small role or the like is not drawn. Further, in the CB game, as shown in the role lottery tables 62b and 62d, 2BB, CB, and replay are drawn, and the small role is not drawn.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 2, combinations of symbols of the reels 31 corresponding to the above various types of roles are determined in advance, and when all the reels 31 are stopped, they correspond to any of the predetermined roles. When the combination of symbols stops on the active line and the winning combination is won, a predetermined number of medals are paid out.

  The role lottery means 61 is based on, for example, a random number generation means (hardware random number, etc.) for a role lottery, a random number extraction means for extracting a random number generated by the random number generation means, and a random value extracted by the random number extraction means. And determining means for determining the presence / absence of a winning combination and the winning combination.

The random number generation means of the role lottery means 61 generates random numbers in a predetermined area (for example, 0 to 65535 in decimal notation). The random number extracting means extracts the random number generated by the random number generating means at a predetermined time, in this embodiment, when the start switch 41 is turned on (operated) by the player. The judging means collates the random number value extracted by the random number extracting means with the role lottery table 62, thereby determining the combination corresponding to the area to which the random number value belongs. For example, when the extracted random number value belongs to the 2BB winning area, it is determined to be 2BB winning, and when it belongs to the non-winning area, it is determined not to win.
As shown in FIG. 2, the role lottery means 61 determines the presence / absence of winning and the winning combination based on the random number value extracted from 2BB, CB, small role, replay and non-winning, for example, during a normal game To do.

(Role drawing table)
As shown in FIG. 2, the combination lottery table 62 defines the types of combinations to be selected and the winning probability of each combination. The combination lottery table 62 includes a specific combination lottery table 62 for each gaming state (during a normal game, an RT game, a CB game, and a 2BB game).
Each combination lottery table 62 has a predetermined range of lottery areas. The lottery area is divided into a winning area and a non-winning area for each combination, and the winning combinations are determined in advance. It is set to a predetermined ratio so as to be a probability.

  Although not shown, the winning area and non-winning area of each role are determined for each set value of the payout rate (six levels of setting 1 to setting 6), and the winning probability of each role shown in FIG. One example when the set value of the payout rate is determined is given.

In the present embodiment, five types of role lottery tables 62a, 62b, 62c, 62d, and 62e are provided as the role lottery table 62.
The combination lottery table 62a corresponds to the third combination lottery table in the present invention, and is the combination lottery table 62 used in normal games.
The combination lottery table 62b corresponds to the fourth combination lottery table in the present invention. When a CB is won and won during a normal game, a CB game is executed in the next game, and this is a role lottery table 62 used in the CB game. In particular, in the present embodiment, when the combination lottery table 62b is used, the winning probability of replay is higher than that of the conventional game. Specifically, the winning probability of replay is 1 / 1.1, which is higher than the winning probability or non-winning probability of other roles.

Furthermore, the combination lottery table 62c corresponds to the first combination lottery table in the present invention, and is the combination lottery table 62 used during the RT game.
Here, the RT game in the present invention means a game in which the winning probability of replay is different from the winning probability of replay in the normal game. In this embodiment, the winning probability of replay in the normal game is 1 / 7.3. On the other hand, during RT game, it becomes 1 / 7.2.

Further, the role lottery table 62d is used in the CB game when the CB is won and won in the RT game and the game is shifted to the CB game.
The role lottery table 62e is a role lottery table 62 used during the 2BB game.

In the above-mentioned combination lottery table 62, in the combination lottery tables 62a and 62c, it is determined that CB wins with a probability of 1 / 1.25. However, as shown in FIG. The combination of is provided.
In the combination lottery tables 62a and 62c, the above-mentioned 12 types of CBs to be won with a probability of 1/15 are determined for each combination of symbols. That is, the winning probability obtained by adding 12 types of CBs is 1 / 1.25.
Similarly, in the winning lottery tables 62b and 62d, the above 12 types of CBs to be won with a probability of 1/65536 are determined for each combination of symbols, so that the combined winning probability is 12/65536.

Further, in the winning lottery tables 62a and 62c, it is determined that 2BB is won with a probability of 1/300, but 2BB is provided with combinations of three kinds of symbols as shown in FIG.
In the combination lottery tables 62a and 62c, the above three types of 2BBs to be won with a probability of 1/900 are determined for each combination of symbols, so that the combined winning probability is 1/300.
Similarly, in the combination lottery tables 62b and 62d, the above three types of 2BBs to be won with a probability of 1/65536 are determined for each combination of symbols, so that the combined winning probability is 3/65536.

Furthermore, in the part lottery tables 62a and 62c, it is determined that the small part 1 is won with a probability of 1/8. However, as shown in FIG. 2, the small part 1 has a combination of three kinds of symbols. Is provided.
In the combination lottery tables 62a and 62c, since the three types of small combinations 1 to be won with a probability of 1/24 are determined for each combination of symbols, the combined winning probability is 1/8.

  In addition, the winning lottery tables 62b, 62d, and 62e are not defined for the winning probability of the small role. However, when the combination lottery tables 62b, 62d, and 62e are used, it is possible to win a small combination that is not selected.

  Furthermore, in the winning lottery table 62b, the winning probability of replay is 1 / 1.1 (higher than the winning probability of replaying in the winning lottery table 62d). That is, when a CB wins and wins during a normal game, a CB game having a high replay winning probability (1 / 1.1) is executed. On the other hand, when the CB wins and wins during the RT game, a CB game in which the winning probability of the replay is a normal probability (1 / 7.3) is executed.

(RT game control means)
The RT game control means 63 controls the start of the RT game, the end of the RT game, and the like.
The RT game control means 63 controls to start the RT game after the end of the 2BB game. The RT game is continued until the small role 1 wins. When the small role 1 wins, the RT game ends, and the normal game is executed from the next game.
However, if CB wins and wins during RT game, CB game is executed in the next game, but even if small role 1 wins in this CB game, it will return to RT game in the next game, and RT game will be Does not end.

  In the present embodiment, an RT flag 63a is provided for determining whether or not an RT game is being played. When the RT game is started (after the end of the 2BB game), the RT flag 63a is turned on. In addition, when the RT game end condition is satisfied (when the small combination 1 is won), the RT flag 63a is turned off.

(Means to carry over winning)
In the game until the winning combination means 64 has won the 2BB and the combination of symbols corresponding to the won 2BB stops on the active line (until the winning 2BB wins), the winning of the 2BB will be made after the next game. It controls to carry over.
As described above, in this embodiment, when a combination of symbols corresponding to a role does not stop on the active line in the game won for the role, a role that is carried over after the next game and a role that is not carried over are determined. It has been.

  And 2BB is mentioned as a role carried over. When 2BB is won, the combination of symbols corresponding to 2BB is stopped on the active line, and in the game until winning of 2BB, the control of 2BB is carried over after the next game.

  On the other hand, when a winning combination other than 2BB is won in the winning lottery by the winning lottery means 61, the winning combination is valid only in the game, and the winning is not carried over after the next game. That is, in a game in which these winning combinations are won, the reel 31 is controlled to stop the winning combination so that the winning combination can be won at the end of the game regardless of whether or not the winning combination has been won. The rights will disappear.

  In the present embodiment, in the gaming state where 2BB is not won (during the normal game), a lottery including 2BB is performed, but when 2BB is won, a lottery is performed except for 2BB. Is called.

(Reel stop control means)
The reel stop control means 65 is based on a lottery result of the winning combination by the winning lottery means 61 when the stop switch 42 is operated and a timing when the stop switch 42 is operated. , The stop position of the reel 31 corresponding to the stop switch 42 is determined, and the motor 32 is driven and controlled to stop the reel 31 at the determined position.

(Stop position determination table)
The stop position determination table 66 defines the stop position of the reel 31 (design on the effective line when the reel 31 is stopped) based on the position of the reel 31 at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated.
The stop position determination table 66 is a 2BB table used at the time of winning 2BB, a CB table used at the time of winning CB, a small role 1 table and a small role 2 table used at the time of winning each of the small roles 1 and 2, and a replay. A replay table used at the time of winning, a non-winning table used at the time of non-winning other than during the CB game, and a stop control change table used at the time of non-winning of 2BB game and CB game.

  The 2BB table is used on the condition that 2BB is won in the game, or 2BB is won in the game before the game and is not won in the game, and the 2BB table is used within the range of the stop control of the reel 31. The combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped is determined so that the combination of symbols corresponding to 2 is stopped on the effective line and the combination of symbols corresponding to roles other than 2BB is not stopped on the effective line.

  Here, “within the range of stop control of the reel 31” in the stop position determination table 66 means the movement amount (rotation amount) of the reel 31 from the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated until the reel 31 actually stops. In particular, in the present embodiment, except for the stop control change table, (1) the amount of movement control of the reel 31 from when the stop switch 42 is operated (momentary) until the reel 31 is stopped includes the symbol. Within 5 symbols, or (2) The stop control time from when the stop switch 42 is operated (instant) until the reel 31 is stopped is within 190 ms.

In the stop control change table, for the left reel 31, (1) the symbol that has been moved and controlled for one symbol from the symbol when the stop switch 42 is operated (instant), or (2) the stop switch 42 is operated. The stop control time from the moment (in the moment) until the reel 31 is stopped is within 75 ms.
Furthermore, the middle reel 31 and the right reel 31 of the stop control change table are the same as those other than the stop control change table described above.

  Further, the CB table is used at the time of winning the CB, and within the range of the reel 31 stop control, the combination of symbols corresponding to the CB is stopped on the effective line, and the combination of symbols corresponding to the role other than the CB is the effective line. The combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped is determined so that the reel 31 is not stopped.

  The small role 1 table or the small role 2 table is used on the condition that the small role 1 or the small role 2 is won in the game, respectively, and within the range of the stop control of the reel 31, the small role 1 or the small role 2 table, respectively. The combination of the symbols corresponding to the combination 2 is stopped on the effective line, and the combination of the symbols corresponding to the combination other than the small combination 1 or the small combination 2 is not stopped on the effective line. The combination is determined.

Furthermore, the replay table is used on the condition that the replay is won in the game, and the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay is stopped on the effective line within the range of the stop control of the reel 31 and used for the role other than the replay. The combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped is determined so that the corresponding symbol combination is not stopped on the effective line.
When a replay is won in the CB game, the same replay table as in the normal game is used.

Further, the non-winning table defines a combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped so that the combination of symbols corresponding to any combination does not stop on the active line.
In addition, the stop control change table is used when 2BB game and CB game are not won, and the combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped is set so as not to stop the combination of symbols corresponding to the role other than the small role on the effective line. It is determined. Therefore, for the small role 1 and the small role 2, within the range of the stop control of the reel 31 during the CB game (for the left reel 31, the symbol next to the symbol at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated (within 75 ms), For the reel 31 and the right reel 31, within 5 symbols (within 190 ms), the symbol combination when the reel 31 is stopped is determined so that the symbol combination corresponding to the small role 1 and the small role 2 can be stopped on the effective line. ing.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a symbol arrangement of the reels 31 in the present embodiment.
In the present embodiment, “bell” symbols are arranged at intervals of 5 symbols or less for all the reels 31. As a result, when the small role 2 is won during normal games and RT games (games other than 2BB games and CB games), no matter which position the stop switch 42 is operated, It is possible to stop “bell”-“bell”-“bell”, which is a combination of symbols corresponding to the combination 2.

  On the other hand, regarding the left reel 31, either “bell” or “R” is arranged at intervals within 3 symbols. As a result, during the 2BB game and the CB game, for the left reel 31, the symbol “Bell” or “R” is stopped on any valid line, regardless of the position of the stop switch 42 operated at any position. be able to.

As for the middle reel and the right reel 31, “bell” symbols are arranged at intervals within 5 symbols as described above.
Thus, in the stop control change table, the combination of symbols “BELL”-“BELL”-“BELL” or “R”-“BELL”-“BELL” no matter which position the stop switch 42 is operated. That is, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination 2 can be stopped on the active line.

  Furthermore, “black cherry”, “red cherry”, and “blue cherry” are arranged at intervals of seven symbols. Thus, in the case of this embodiment in which stop control is performed within 5 symbols, any one of “black cherry”, “red cherry”, and “blue cherry” is selected from the position where the stop switch 42 is operated. Only one can be stopped on the active line.

  Therefore, in the case where, for example, the small role 1 related to “Black Cherry” is selected among the small roles 1, if the stop switch is operated at the moment when the symbols from No. 6 to No. 10 are located on the specific effective line, “Black cherry” can be stopped on a specific active line. On the other hand, if the stop switch 42 is operated at other positions, the “black cherry” cannot be stopped at the specific effective line. Then, when the small role 1 related to “Black Cherry” is won, the reel 31 is controlled to stop only the “Black Cherry” on the active line. Even if you win, “Red Cherry” and “Blue Cherry” will not stop on the active line.

The same applies to CB. That is, since “red 7”, “blue 7”, and “BAR” of the left reel 31 are arranged at intervals of 7 symbols, the “black cherry”, “red cherry”, and “blue cherry” described above are arranged. Same as relationship.
For the middle reel 31, if the stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when the symbols 1 to 8 and the symbols 20 and 21 are located on the specific effective line, the “red cherry” of the middle reel 31 is identified. Although it can be stopped at the effective line, if the stop switch 42 is operated at other positions, the “red cherry” of the middle reel 31 cannot be stopped at the specific effective line.

  Similarly, for the blue cherry of the middle reel 31, if the stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when the symbols from No. 9 to No. 16 are located on the specific effective line, the “blue cherry” of the middle reel 31 is specified as the specific effective line. However, if the stop switch 42 is operated at any other position, the “blue cherry” of the middle reel 31 cannot be stopped at the specific effective line.

  Furthermore, for the right reel 31, if the stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when the symbols 1 to 8 and 21 are positioned on the specific effective line, the “red cherry” of the right reel 31 is set to the specific effective line. However, if the stop switch 42 is operated at any other position, the “red cherry” of the right reel 31 cannot be stopped at the specific effective line.

  Similarly, for the blue cherry on the right reel 31, if the stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when the symbols from No. 9 to 17 are located on the specific effective line, the “blue cherry” on the right reel 31 is set to the specific effective line. However, if the stop switch 42 is operated at a position other than that, the “blue cherry” of the right reel 31 cannot be stopped at the specific effective line.

  Therefore, when winning the CB, if the stop switch 42 is operated at a predetermined timing, the selected CB wins. If the stop switch 42 is operated at other timings, the winning CB is won. I can't let you.

  As described above, the reel stop control means 65 uses any one of the stop position determination tables 66 to stop the combination of symbols corresponding to any one of the combinations on the effective line. The symbols constituting the combination of symbols corresponding to the combination are controlled so as to be stopped on the active line.

(Stop symbol discrimination means)
The stop symbol discriminating means 67 discriminates whether or not the symbol combination of the reel 31 stopped on the effective line matches the symbol combination corresponding to any combination when the reel 31 is stopped. The stop symbol discriminating means 67 discriminates the symbol on the effective line by detecting, for example, the angle or the number of steps when the motor 32 is stopped.

  The stop symbol discriminating means 67 does not discriminate the symbol combination after the reels 31 are actually stopped, but from the position of the reels 31 at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated, the reels are stopped by the stop position determination table 66. It is also possible to determine a combination of symbols on the effective line when 31 stop positions are determined.

(Payment means)
The payout means 68 determines that the combination of symbols stopped on the active line when the reel 31 is stopped matches the combination of symbols corresponding to any of the combinations by the stop symbol determination means 67, and the winning combination is won. In addition, a predetermined number of medals corresponding to the winning combination is paid out to the player, or processing such as credit addition is performed. Further, at the time of replay winning, control is performed so that medals are automatically inserted without paying out medals.

(2BB game control means)
The 2BB game control means 69 controls the transition to the 2BB game, the progress of the game during the 2BB game, the end of the 2BB game, and the like.
First, the 2BB game control means 69 controls to shift to 2BB game on condition that the combination of symbols corresponding to 2BB has stopped on the active line, that is, 2BB has won.
When the game shifts to the 2BB game, the role lottery table 62 is switched to the role lottery table 62e as shown in FIG.

When 2BB wins, the 2BB game control means 69 controls to execute the 2BB game after the next game. As shown in FIG. 2, only the replay is the winning combination that is drawn in the 2BB game.
In the 2BB game, the game can be performed with only one medal inserted. In the 2BB game, the reel stop control means 65 controls to stop the reel 31 using the above-described stop control change table when the replay is not won. As a result, the reel 31 is controlled to stop so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination 1 and the small combination 2 that are not drawn by the combination lottery means 61 can be stopped on the effective line (except when the replay is won). Therefore, when a winning combination is not won in the 2BB game, a small winning combination can be won according to the skill of the player regardless of the winning lottery.

The 2BB game end condition is determined until the number of medals to be paid out in the 2BB game reaches a predetermined number. Therefore, the 2BB game control means 69 counts the number of medals paid out during the 2BB game, and controls to end the 2BB game when the predetermined number is reached.
Here, three types of “predetermined numbers” are provided according to the type of 2BB in the present embodiment. In the case of “Red 7” − “Red 7” − “Red 7” of 2BB, the predetermined number is 200 sheets. Further, in the case of 2BB “blue 7” − “blue 7” − “blue 7”, the predetermined number is 199 sheets. Furthermore, in the case of 2BB “bell”-“R”-“R”, the predetermined number is 15.

(CB game control means)
The CB game control means 70 controls the transition to the CB game, the end of the CB game, and the like.
First, the CB game control means 70 controls to shift to the CB game on the condition that the combination of symbols corresponding to the CB stops on the active line, that is, the CB wins.
Also, as shown in FIG. 2, the role lottery table 62 is switched to the role lottery table 62b when the CB wins and wins during the normal game, and when the CB wins and wins during the RT game, The role lottery table 62d is switched to.

In the CB game, the same game as the above-described 2BB game is performed for only one game. Similarly to the 2BB game, the game is controlled so that the number of inserted medals is one. Furthermore, when the winning combination in the CB game is not won, the reel 31 is controlled to be stopped using the above-described stop control change table as in the case of the 2BB game. As a result, similarly to the 2BB game, the reel 31 is controlled to stop so that a combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination 1 and the small combination 2 that is not drawn by the combination lottery means 61 can be stopped on the effective line. Therefore, when a winning combination is not won in the CB game, a small winning combination can be won according to the skill of the player regardless of the winning lottery.
When this one game is completed, in the next game, the game state before the transition to the CB game is restored.

Here, during the CB game in which the role lottery table 62d is used, the winning probability of the replay is a normal probability (1 / 7.3), so the replay is not frequently won, and it is more than the opportunity to win the replay. , There will be more opportunities to win small roles.
On the other hand, in the CB game in which the role lottery table 62b is used, the replay is won with a high probability. Thereby, even in the case of a CB game, in most cases, the replay is set to win and win and the small role cannot be won.

  That is, if a CB wins and wins during an RT game, there will be more opportunities for winning a small role in that CB game. On the other hand, if the CB wins and wins during the normal game, in most cases, the replay wins and wins in that CB game, and the small role cannot be won.

(Production control means)
The effect control means 71 controls the output of the effects from the above-described effect output devices (the lamp 21, the speaker 22, and the image display device 23).
The production control means 71 selects the production pattern for each game based on the lottery result of the combination by the combination lottery means 61. Particularly in this embodiment, a plurality of types of effect patterns are provided in advance. Then, the effect control means 71 selects any one effect pattern by lottery using software random numbers after the winning lottery means 61 is selected by lottery at the start of the game.

  In addition, a plurality of types of production patterns are provided according to the winning combination. For example, a plurality of types of effect patterns are provided for each of 2BB winning, small role winning (not inside or inside), and not winning (not inside or inside).

As for the production pattern, as to the progress of the game, at what timing (when the start switch 41 is operated, when each stop switch 42 is operated, etc.) what kind of production is output (how the lamp 21 is lit) And what kind of sound is output from the speaker 22, what kind of image is displayed on the image display device 23, etc.).
Then, the effect control means 71 performs control so that the effect is output from the effect output device at a predetermined timing according to the selected effect pattern.

(Notification control means)
When the CB is won, the notification control means 72 uses a combination of symbols corresponding to the selected CB as operation information of the stop switch 42 for winning the selected CB (hereinafter referred to as “CB operation information”). It is to inform.
First, the notification control means 72 determines whether or not a condition for notifying CB operation information is satisfied. In particular, in the present embodiment, it is determined that the above condition is satisfied after the end of the 2BB game.

Then, when it is determined that the condition for notifying the CB operation information is satisfied, the notification control unit 72 controls to notify the CB operation information when the winning lottery unit wins the CB.
As a specific notification method, for example, a combination of symbols corresponding to the selected CB is displayed on the image display device 23. That is, for example, when a CB relating to “Red 7” — “Red Cherry” — “Red Cherry” is won, “Red” — “Red” — “Red” is displayed on the image display device 23. It is done.

  Furthermore, the notification control unit 72 determines whether or not the condition for ending the notification of the CB operation information is satisfied, and when it is determined that the condition is satisfied, performs control to end the notification of the CB operation information. In the present embodiment, as will be described later, when the remaining number of notifications of the small combination 1 becomes 0 (when the notification flag 73a is turned off), it is determined that the condition for ending the notification of the CB operation information is satisfied. And control to end the notification of the CB operation information.

(Specific small role notification control means)
The specific small combination notification control means 73 operates the operation information of the stop switch 42 (hereinafter, “small” for preventing the small combination 1 from winning a prize when winning the small combination 1 corresponding to the specific small combination of the present embodiment. "Combination 1 operation information"), for example, a combination of symbols corresponding to the selected small combination 1 is notified.
First, the specific small combination notification control means 73 determines whether or not the condition for reporting the small combination 1 operation information is satisfied.
In the present embodiment, for 10 games after the end of the 2BB game, it is determined that the condition for notifying the small role 1 operation information is satisfied unconditionally.

  Further, the specific small combination notification control means 73 determines the number of small combination 1 operation information notifications by lottery every time a replay is won during the 2BB game. Specifically, as the number of notifications, a plurality of types of notifications are prepared in advance, such as 0 times, 1, 5, 10 times, and 20 times. To decide. In this case, the selection may be made evenly for each number of times, or the ease of selection may be set for each number of times, for example, 0 times may be most easily selected.

In addition, once the replay is won and the number of notifications is determined, then when the replay is further won, each time the replay is won, the number of notifications is determined and added to the previous number of notifications. Control. For example, when 5 times is selected as the number of notifications when the replay is won first, and then 10 times is selected as the number of notifications when 10 times is selected as the number of notifications after that, the replay is selected 10 times. The added number (15 times) is stored as a new notification number. In this way, the number of notifications is sequentially updated.
Even if the small role 1 is won and notified in the first 10 games, the notification is not counted in the number of notifications in this embodiment. The remaining number of notifications after the 11th game is counted.

Then, when the remaining number of notifications is 1 or more, the specific small role notification control means 73 determines that the condition for notifying the small role 1 operation information is satisfied and wins the small role 1 by the role lottery means 61. Then, control is performed so as to notify the small role 1 operation information.
As a specific notification method, for example, a combination of symbols corresponding to the selected small combination 1 is displayed on the image display device 23. That is, for example, when the small role 1 related to “Red Cherry” is won, an image of the red cherry is displayed on the image display device 23 and notification that the stop switch 42 should be operated so that the red cherry is not won. And so on.

  Furthermore, the specific small combination notification control means 73 performs control so as to end the notification of the small combination 1 operation information when the condition for ending the notification of the small combination 1 operation information is satisfied. In the present embodiment, when the remaining number of notifications becomes 0, it is determined that the condition for terminating notification of the small role 1 operation information is satisfied, and thereafter, control is performed so as not to notify the small role 1 operation information.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, the notification flag 73a is provided as a flag for determining whether or not the remaining number of notifications is zero. When the remaining number of notifications is 1 or more, the notification flag 73a is turned on, and when the remaining number of notifications is 0, the notification flag 73a is turned off. Whether or not to perform notification is determined by the on / off state of the notification flag 73a.

Next, the game flow in this embodiment will be described. 4 and 5 are flowcharts showing the flow of processing during the normal game and the RT game. FIG. 5 is a flowchart following FIG.
In step S11 of FIG. 4, the game control means 60 continues to detect whether or not a medal has been inserted. When the insertion of a medal is detected, such as when the bet switch 40 is operated, the process proceeds to step S12. In step S12, the game control means 60 continues to detect whether the start switch 41 is turned on. When ON is detected, the game control means 60 determines an effective line and controls to start rotation of all the reels 31, and proceeds to step S13.

In step S13, the game control means 60 determines whether or not the RT flag 63a is on (whether or not an RT game is being performed). When it is determined that the RT flag 63a is not on, the process proceeds to step S14, and when it is determined that the RT flag 63a is on, the process proceeds to step S15.
In step S14, the base game lottery table 62a is set as the base lottery table 62. Then, the process proceeds to step S16. On the other hand, in step S15, the RT lottery table 62c is set as the RT lottery table 62. Then, the process proceeds to step S16.

  In step S16, the combination lottery means 61 performs a combination lottery based on the combination lottery table 62 set in step S14 or step S15. Next, the process proceeds to step S17, where it is determined whether or not the notification flag 73a is on. When it is determined that the notification flag 73a is on, the process proceeds to step S18, and when it is determined that the notification flag 73a is not on, the process proceeds to step S23 (FIG. 5).

  In step S18, it is determined whether or not CB is won in the lottery of the combination in step S16. When it is determined that CB has been won, the process proceeds to step S19. When it is determined that CB has not been won, the process proceeds to step S20. In step S19, the notification control means 72 performs control so as to notify the operation information related to the symbol combination corresponding to the selected CB. Then, the process proceeds to step S20.

In step S20, it is determined whether or not a small combination 1 has been won in the combination lottery in step S16. When it is determined that the small role 1 has been won, the process proceeds to step S21. When it is determined that the small role 1 has not been won, the process proceeds to step S23.
In step S21, control is performed so as to notify specific small combination operation information related to the selected small combination 1. Next, the process proceeds to step S22, and a process of subtracting 1 from the remaining notification count Y is performed. Then, the process proceeds to step S23.

  In step S23, the game control means 60 continues to determine whether or not the stop switch 42 is turned on. When it is determined that the stop switch 42 is turned on, the process proceeds to step S24, where the reel stop control means 65 sets the stop position determination table 66 corresponding to the lottery result of the combination in step S16 and drives the motor 32. Control is performed to stop the reel 31 corresponding to the stop switch 42 that is turned on.

  Next, proceeding to step S25, the game control means 60 determines whether or not all the reels 31 have stopped, and when determining that they have stopped, proceeds to step S26. On the other hand, when it is determined that all the reels 31 have not stopped yet, the process returns to step S23.

  In step S26, the stop symbol determination means 67 determines whether or not any winning combination has been won (whether or not the combination of symbols corresponding to any winning combination has stopped on the active line), and determines that a winning has been won. If so, the process proceeds to step S27. On the other hand, when it is determined that no winning is made, the process proceeds to step S28. In step S27, the payout means 68 performs payout processing according to the winning combination. For example, when a small combination wins, the number of medals corresponding to the winning small combination is paid out, and when the replay is won, a process of automatically inserting the number of medals is performed. Then, the process proceeds to step S28.

In step S28, it is determined whether or not the notification flag 73a is on and the remaining notification count Y is zero. If the notification flag 73a is on and the remaining number of notifications Y = 0, the process proceeds to step S29, and if not, the process proceeds to step S30. In step S29, the notification flag 73a is turned off from on. Then, the process proceeds to step S30.
In step S30, it is determined whether the RT flag 63a is on and the small combination 1 has won a prize. When it is determined that the RT flag 63a is on and the small combination 1 has won, the process proceeds to step S31. Otherwise, the process proceeds to step S32.
In step S31, the RT flag 63a is turned off from on. Then, the process proceeds to step S32.

In step S32, the stop symbol determination means 67 determines whether or not 2BB has won. When it is determined that 2BB has won, the process proceeds to step S33, and control is performed so as to shift to the 2BB game after the next game. On the other hand, when it is determined that 2BB has not won, the process proceeds to step S34.
In step S34, the stop symbol determination means 67 determines whether or not the CB has won a prize. When it is determined that the CB has won, the process proceeds to step S35, and control is performed so that the CB game is executed in the next game. On the other hand, when it is determined that the CB has not won, the process according to this flowchart is terminated.

  Although omitted in the above flowchart, during the first 10 games after the end of the 2BB game, when the small role 1 is won, it is unconditionally specified without subtracting the remaining notification count Y. Control is performed so as to notify the small role operation information.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing during the 2BB game. When it is determined in step S32 in FIG. 5 that 2BB has won, and the process proceeds to step S33 to shift to the 2BB game, the processing after step S41 is performed.

  First, in step S41, the game control means 60 continues to detect whether or not a medal has been inserted. If the insertion of a medal is detected, the process proceeds to step S42. In step S42, the game control means 60 continues to detect whether the start switch 41 is turned on. When ON is detected, the game control means 60 determines an effective line and controls to start rotation of all the reels 31, and proceeds to step S43. In step S43, the part lottery means 61 performs a part lottery.

  In the next step S44, the specific small combination notification control means 73 determines whether or not the replay is won. When it is determined that the replay is won, the process proceeds to step S45, and the remaining notification count Y of the specific small combination operation information when the small combination 1 is won is determined by lottery. The remaining notification count Y is determined by lottery every time a replay is won. Then, the process proceeds to step S46. On the other hand, when it is determined in step S44 that the replay is not won, the process proceeds to step S46.

  In step S46, the game control means 60 continues to determine whether or not the stop switch 42 is turned on. When it is determined that the stop switch 42 is turned on, the process proceeds to step S47, where the reel stop control means 65 sets the stop position determination table 66 corresponding to the lottery result of the combination in step S43 and drives the motor 32. Control is performed to stop the reel 31 corresponding to the stop switch 42 that is turned on.

  Next, proceeding to step S48, the game control means 60 determines whether or not all the reels 31 have stopped, and when determining that they have stopped, proceeds to step S49. On the other hand, when it is determined that all the reels 31 have not stopped yet, the process returns to step S46.

  In step S49, the stop symbol discriminating means 67 discriminates whether or not any winning combination has been won (whether or not the combination of symbols corresponding to any winning combination has stopped on the active line), and discriminates that winning has been won. If so, the process proceeds to step S50. On the other hand, when it is determined that no winning is made, the process proceeds to step S52. In step S50, the payout means 68 performs payout processing according to the winning combination. For example, when a small combination wins, the number of medals corresponding to the winning small combination is paid out, and when the replay is won, a process of automatically inserting the number of medals is performed. Then, the process proceeds to step S51. In step S51, the 2BB game control means 69 performs a process of updating the number of medals paid out during the 2BB game. Then, the process proceeds to step S52.

In step S52, the 2BB game control means 69 determines whether or not the number of medals paid out during the 2BB game has reached a predetermined number X or more. When it is determined that the number is equal to or greater than the predetermined number X, the process proceeds to step S53, where the RT game control means 63 turns on the RT flag 63a, and the specific small role notification control means 73 turns on the notification flag 73a. Then, the process proceeds to step S54, where the 2BB game is terminated, and the RT game is controlled after the next game.
On the other hand, when it is determined in step S52 that it is not equal to or greater than the predetermined number X, the processing according to this flowchart is terminated (the next game is also controlled to continue the 2BB game).

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing in the CB game. When it is determined in step S34 in FIG. 5 that the CB has won a prize and the process proceeds to step S35 and shifts to the CB game, the processes after step S61 are performed.
First, in step S61, the game control means 60 continues to detect whether or not a medal has been inserted. When the insertion of a medal is detected, the process proceeds to step S62. In step S62, the game control means 60 continues to detect whether the start switch 41 is turned on. When ON is detected, the game control means 60 determines an effective line and controls to start rotation of all the reels 31, and proceeds to step S63.

In step S63, the game control means 60 determines whether or not the RT flag 63a is on. When it is determined that the RT flag 63a is not on, the process proceeds to step S64, and when it is determined that the RT flag 63a is on, the process proceeds to step S65.
When the processing proceeds to step S64, the role lottery table 62b for CB gaming is set as the role lottery table 62. On the other hand, when it is determined that the RT flag 63a is on and the process proceeds to step S65, a hand lottery table 62d for CB gaming is set as the hand lottery table 62. That is, when the RT flag 63a is on (when the CB is won in the RT game and the game is shifted to the CB game), the combination lottery table 62d is set, and when not, the combination lottery table 62b is set.

  In the next step S66, the lottery of the combination is performed using the combination lottery table 62 set in step S64 or step S65. In the next step S67, the game control means 60 continues to determine whether or not the stop switch 42 is turned on. When it is determined that the stop switch 42 is turned on, the process proceeds to step S68, where the reel stop control means 65 sets the stop position determination table 66 corresponding to the lottery result of the combination in step S66 and drives the motor 32. Control is performed to stop the reel 31 corresponding to the stop switch 42 that is turned on.

  Here, when the replay is won in step S66, the reel 31 is controlled to stop using the replay table (similar to the normal game). On the other hand, when not winning in step S66, the stop control change table is used, and the reel 31 is stopped by the stop control within 75 ms for the left reel 31 and the stop control within 190 ms for the middle and right reel 31. Be controlled. Although not shown in the flowchart, when 2BB is won in the CB game, it becomes a normal game (inside) at that time.

  Next, proceeding to step S69, the game control means 60 determines whether or not all the reels 31 have stopped, and when determining that they have stopped, proceeds to step S70. On the other hand, when it is determined that all the reels 31 have not stopped yet, the process returns to step S67.

In step S70, the stop symbol determination means 67 determines whether or not any winning combination has been won (whether or not the combination of symbols corresponding to any winning combination has stopped on the active line), and determines that the winning combination has occurred. If so, the process proceeds to step S71, and if it is determined that no winning is made, the process proceeds to step S72.
In step S71, the payout means 68 performs payout processing according to the winning combination. For example, when a small combination wins, the number of medals corresponding to the winning small combination is paid out, and when the replay is won, a process of automatically inserting the number of medals is performed. Then, the process proceeds to step S72. In step S72, the CB game control means 70 controls to end the CB game.

Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications such as the following are possible.
(1) In this embodiment, medals are used as game media. However, the present invention can also be applied to slot machines that use game media other than medals, such as game balls.
