Includes special game control means for controlling to execute a special game that is advantageous for a player, and the game mode selection means is configured to change the game mode of the game after the end of the special game to the notification game mode. It is characterized by selecting.

  According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, in the slot machine according to any one of the fourth or fifth aspect, when the notification game mode is once selected, the number of notifications of the information reaches a predetermined number. The notification game mode is continued.

  According to the seventh aspect of the present invention, a start switch for starting a reel, a stop switch for stopping a reel, a winning lottery table in which a winning area including a specific winning combination is set, and the start switch are operated. When the reel is stopped, the lottery means for lottering the lottery using the lottery table and the result of lottery by the part lottery means when the stop switch is operated. Reel stop control means for controlling to stop the reel corresponding to the operated stop switch within the range of control, and the specific role is when the first symbol combination stops on the active line A transition is made to a gaming state that is more unfavorable than the current gaming state, and when the second symbol combination stops at the active line, the game medium is paid out. The specific combination has a specific combination A and a specific combination B, and the specific combination A has the first symbol combination A and the second symbol combination A, The specific combination B has the first symbol combination B and the second symbol combination B, and at least one reel, the symbol constituting the first symbol combination A is The symbol that constitutes the second symbol combination A is arranged at a position that cannot be stopped on the active line within the range of the stop control, and the symbol that constitutes the first symbol combination B The symbols constituting the second symbol combination B are arranged at positions where the effective line cannot be stopped within the range of the stop control, and the symbols constituting the second symbol combination A On the other hand, it stops at the effective line within the range of the stop control. When the symbol constituting the second symbol combination B is arranged at a position where it cannot be made and the reel stop control means wins the specific combination A by the combination lottery means, the stop control Within the range, the specific combination B is controlled so that either the first symbol combination A or the second symbol combination A is stopped on the active line, and is not won in the game. When the combination of the first symbol B and the combination of the second symbol B, which is a symbol combination corresponding to the above, is controlled so as not to stop at the effective line, and the specific combination B is won by the combination lottery means Within the range of the stop control, control is performed so that one of the first symbol combination B or the second symbol combination B is stopped on the active line, and the game is not won. The first symbol combination A and the second symbol combination A that are combinations of symbols corresponding to the specific combination A are controlled so as not to stop at the effective line, and the specific combination A or the When the specific combination B is won, specific combination notifying means for notifying information indicating the second symbol combination A or the second symbol combination B is provided.

(Function)
In the invention of claim 1, it is set so that the specific small combination and the game state transition combination are won in duplicate. Then, at the time of overlapping winning of the specific small combination and the gaming state transition combination, either one is set to be able to win. In addition, when a predetermined condition (a condition for notifying information for winning the selected special combination) is satisfied, when the game state transition combination and the specified small combination are won simultaneously, Information for winning a winning combination is notified.
Thereby, a game before winning the game state transition combination and a game after winning (a game state that is more disadvantageous than before winning), a game in which the information is notified, and a game in which the information is not notified are provided.

In the invention of claim 7, when the specific combination is won, either the first symbol combination or the second symbol combination is set to be able to stop on the active line. Furthermore, when a predetermined condition (a condition for notifying information for stopping the combination of the second symbols on the active line when the specific combination is won) is satisfied, the second symbol is selected when the specific combination is won. Information for stopping the combination in the active line is notified.
Thereby, a game before the stop of the first symbol combination on the active line and a game after the stop (a game state more disadvantageous than before the stop), a game in which the information is notified, and a game in which the information is not notified are provided.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, since the specific small role and the game state transition combination are won simultaneously, even if the game is notified of the winning of the specific small role, the player does not end the current gaming state. Since the stop switch is operated with caution (so that the game state transition combination wins and does not shift to an unfavorable game state), the monotony during the game in which the notification is performed can be improved.

  Further, according to the invention of claim 7, even in a game in which the winning of the specific role is notified, the player can prevent the current gaming state from ending (the first symbol combination is stopped on the active line). Therefore, since the stop switch is operated with caution (so as not to shift to an unfavorable gaming state), the monotony during the game in which the notification is performed can be improved.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an outline of control of the slot machine 10 in the present embodiment.
(Game control means)
The game control means 60 of the slot machine 10 is a means for overall control of the entire slot machine 10 including the progress and effects of the game of the slot machine 10, and the lottery of the role, the drive (rotation and stop) control of the reel 31, and It controls the progress of games such as payout at the time of winning a prize, the output of effects, the notification of information, and the like. The game control means 60 is provided on a predetermined control board. The game control means 60 is a CPU for performing calculations, a ROM for storing programs necessary for the progress of games, data for production, etc. A RAM or the like for temporarily storing captured data or the like when performing control.

(Start switch, stop switch, bet switch)
As shown in FIG. 1, a bet switch 40, a start switch 41, and a stop switch 42 are electrically connected to the input side (left side in FIG. 1) of the game control means 60.
The bet switch 40 is a switch that is operated when a player inserts a stored medal, and is a switch that enables an effective line by the operation. Although the medal insertion slot is not shown in FIG. 1, the medal insertion slot is a part for inserting an actual medal to activate the effective line, as with the bet switch 40. The insertion of the medal is included in the operation of the bet switch 40.

The start switch 41 is a switch operated by the player when starting the reel 31.
Furthermore, three stop switches 42 are provided corresponding to the three reels 31 and are operated by the player when stopping the corresponding reels 31.

(Motor, reel)
Peripheral devices such as the motor 32 described below are electrically connected to the output side (right side in FIG. 1) of the game control means 60.
The motor 32 is for rotating the reel 31, is connected to the center of rotation of the reel 31, and is controlled by the game control means 60.
The reel 31 has a ring shape, and a reel tape on which a plurality of types of symbols (such as symbols constituting a role to be described later) is printed is attached to the outer peripheral surface thereof. In the present embodiment, three reels 31 are provided in parallel.

  When the start switch 41 is operated, a signal generated at that time is input to the game control means 60. When receiving this signal, the game control means 60 controls to drive all the motors 32 and rotate all the reels 31. As the reel 31 is rotated by the motor 32 in this way, the symbols on the reel 31 are moved and displayed in the vertical direction within the display window frame at a predetermined speed.

  When the stop switch 42 is operated, a signal generated at that time is input to the game control means 60. When the game control means 60 (specifically, a reel stop control means 65 described later) receives this signal, the game control means 60 controls the drive of the motor 32 corresponding to the stop switch 42 and stops the reel 31 related to the motor 32. Take control.

  Here, in the present embodiment, the reel 31 is provided with left, middle, and right three, and the stop switch 42 is provided with left, middle, and right three correspondingly. That is, the reel 31 corresponding to the left stop switch 42 is the left reel 31, the reel 31 corresponding to the middle stop switch 42 is the middle reel 31, and the reel 31 corresponding to the right stop switch 42 is the right reel 31.

(Production output devices (lamps, speakers, image display devices))
In addition, on the output side (right side in FIG. 1) of the game control means 60, effect output devices such as the lamp 21, the speaker 22, and the image display device 23 are electrically connected.
The lamps 21 are effects lamps for the slot machine 10 and are turned on in a predetermined pattern when predetermined conditions are satisfied. The lamp 21 includes a back lamp (not shown) fixed to the inner peripheral side of each reel 31, an upper lamp and a side lamp that are arranged on the front surface of the housing of the slot machine 10 and blink when a winning combination is made. A lamp (not shown) and the like are included.

Furthermore, the speaker 22 outputs a predetermined sound when a predetermined condition is satisfied so as to perform various effects during the game.
Furthermore, the image display device 23 includes a liquid crystal image display device, a dot display, and the like, and displays various effect images, predetermined information, and the like during the game.

  In addition, in the present embodiment, the above-described production output device outputs information, and when winning a specific small role, information for stopping a combination of symbols corresponding to the selected special small role on the effective line Is notified. These points will be described later.

  At the start of the game, the player operates the bet switch 40 to insert a medal and turns on (operates) 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 turns on (operates) each stop switch 42 to stop the rotation of each reel 31. When all the reels 31 are stopped, when the combination of symbols corresponding to any of the winning combinations stops on the active line and the winning combination of the winning combination is made, a medal corresponding to the winning combination is paid out.

(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.

  A display window frame (not shown) is formed so that the symbols located on these five symbol combination lines can be seen from the player side (front side). That is, the symbols (three symbols that are continuous in the vertical direction) located in the upper, interrupted, and lower symbol combination lines of each reel 31 are equivalent to three of the left reel 31, the middle reel 31, and the right reel 31 arranged in parallel, that is, a total of nine symbols. Each symbol is formed so that it can be seen from the display window frame.

Further, among the five symbol combination lines, an effective line and an invalid line are set from the symbol combination lines according to the number of medals inserted by the player.
Here, in the present embodiment, the “effective line” is a line for winning a combination when a combination of symbols corresponding to any combination stops on the line.

  On the other hand, an “invalid line” occurs when the number of inserted medals is other than three, and is a line that is not set as an effective line among the symbol combination lines, and a combination of symbols corresponding to any combination is that line. Even if it stops, the profit is not given according to the combination (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.

  In this embodiment, the number of medals inserted in one game is one, two, or three. When the number of medals inserted is 1, the horizontal symbol combination line (one line) is set as an effective line, and the remaining four symbol combination lines are set as invalid lines. When the number of inserted medals is 2, the horizontal, upper and lower symbol combination lines (three in total) are set as valid lines, and the other two symbol combination lines are set as invalid lines. Is done. Furthermore, when the number of inserted medals is 3, all the symbol combination lines (a total of 5) are set as valid lines and there are no invalid lines.

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)
FIG. 2A is a diagram showing the types of winning combinations (the winning combinations selected by the winning lottery means 61 described later) and combinations of symbols in the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2A, as the combination, a plurality of types of special combination, a specific small combination, a game state transition combination, and a replay are provided.

  A special role is defined as the probability of winning a role and the number of payouts at the time of winning the role so that the special game (the rate of play (expected value of the number of payouts / the number of throws)) exceeds 1 from the normal game. It is a role that is transferred to a game that is advantageous to the player. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2A, BB (Big Bonus) and RB (Regular Bonus) are provided as special roles. In addition, although SB (single bonus) is mentioned as another special combination, it is not provided in this embodiment.

The specific small combination is a kind of small combination, and is a combination in which a predetermined number of medals are paid out. In this embodiment, three types are provided.
Note that the specific small role in the present embodiment is a role in which nine medals are paid out at the time of winning a prize. Therefore, when the combination of symbols corresponding to the specific small role is stopped on the active line (at the time of winning the specific small role) This is an advantageous role for the player.
Furthermore, the specified small role will correspond to the selected specific small role when the information for stopping the combination of symbols corresponding to the selected specific small role on the active line is notified, rather than when the information is not notified. This combination is set so that it is easy to stop the combination of symbols on the effective line (this point will be described later).

  Furthermore, the gaming state transition combination is a combination that shifts to a gaming state that is more disadvantageous than the current gaming state when the combination of symbols stops on the active line (when the gaming state transition combination is won). In particular, in the present embodiment, a transition is made to a gaming state with a lower payout rate than the current gaming state (details will be described later, but when an RT game is won during RT gaming, the RT game ends, Transition to gaming).

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.
And as shown to Fig.2 (a), the combination of the symbol of the reel 31 corresponding to various combinations is predetermined.

In each of the above combinations, if the combination of symbols corresponding to the combination does not stop on the active line in the game selected for the combination, a combination that is carried over after the next game and a combination that is not carried over are determined. .
Special roles (BB and RB) are mentioned as the carry-over. When winning BB or RB, when the reel 31 stops, until the combination of symbols corresponding to BB or RB stops on the active line (until BB or RB wins), It is controlled to carry over the winning after the next game.

  A game in which a special role is not won (a game in which a special role is not carried over) is referred to as “non-inside”. In addition, the combination of symbols corresponding to the selected special combination is not stopped on the active line (not winning) in the game (the special combination is selected) The game that is carried over) is called “inside”.

  As described above, the winning of the special role is carried over, but no role other than the special role is carried over. When a role other than the special role is won in the lottery of the role, the winning role is valid only in the game, and the winning is not carried over after the next game. That is, in the game won for these winning combinations, the reel 31 is controlled to stop so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning winning combination can be stopped (winning) on the active line. Regardless, at the end of the game, the right to the winning role will cease.

  Then, the role lottery means 61 performs lottery of a role (a special role, a specific small role, a game state transition role, a replay, or the like described above). 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 by the player. The determination unit determines the combination corresponding to the region to which the random number value belongs by comparing the random number value extracted by the random number extraction unit with a combination lottery table 62 described later. For example, when the extracted random number value belongs to the BB winning area, it is determined that the BB is winning, and when it belongs to the non-winning area, it is determined not to win.

  As shown in FIG. 2A, for example, in the normal game (non-inside), the role lottery means 61 has two types of special roles (BB and RB), a specific small role, a game state transition role, a replay, and a non-play. Based on the random number extracted from the winning, the presence / absence of winning and the winning combination are determined.

(Role drawing table)
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 (normal game (non-internal / internal), RT game, and special game).
FIG. 2B is a diagram showing the role lottery table 62 (62a to 62d) used in the present embodiment. Each of the winning lottery tables 62a to 62d has a predetermined range of lottery areas, and the lottery areas are divided into winning areas and non-winning areas of the respective roles. For example, during a normal game (non-inside), as shown in FIG. 2B, a winning combination is set at a predetermined ratio so that a winning probability is set in advance.

In FIG. 2 (b), a role lottery table 62a is a role lottery table used during non-inside of normal games. The combination lottery table 62a used in the non-inside of the normal game has BB, RB, specific small combination and gaming state transition combination, replay winning area, and non-winning area.
The role lottery table 62b is a role lottery table used in the inside of a normal game. The combination lottery table 62b is different from the combination lottery table 62a in that the non-internal BB winning area and the RB winning area are non-winning areas inside.

  Furthermore, the combination lottery table 62c is a combination lottery table used during the RT game, and the winning probability of replay is different compared to the combination lottery table 62a. In the winning lottery table 62a, the winning probability of replay is 1 / 7.3, but in the winning lottery table 62c, the winning probability of replay is 1/3. The winning lottery table 62c is obtained by increasing the replay winning area (1/3) by allocating a part of the non-winning area of the winning lottery table 62a to the winning area for replay. Therefore, the game play rate including replay is increased in the game in which the role lottery table 62c is used (in RT game) than in the game in which the role lottery table 62a is used (normal game). Therefore, the RT game is more advantageous to the advantager than the normal game.

Furthermore, if the BB or RB is won during the RT game and the game goes inside, the RT game ends, and the winning lottery table 62b is used from the next game won for the BB or RB.
In addition, the combination lottery table 62d used during special games (in BB game and RB game) is provided with a predetermined combination winning area so that a predetermined combination is won with high probability (9/10). . In the BB or RB game, 15 medals are set to be paid out when a predetermined combination is won.

Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the specific small combination and the game state transition combination that are drawn in the normal game (inside / inside) and in the RT game are set so as to be won in duplicate. Therefore, only the specific small combination and the gaming state transition combination are not won alone.
The overlapping winning area between the specific small combination and the gaming state transition combination is set to 1/2 (50%) of the whole, but this area is divided into three (1/6 × 3).

FIG. 2C is a diagram showing a relationship between a specific small combination to be won in duplicate and a gaming state transition combination in the present embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 2C, first, one of the 1/6 winning areas includes a specific small role A set to a combination of symbols “red 7”-“bell”-“bell”, and “ It is set in the overlapping winning area with the game state transition combination A set for the symbol combination of “blue cherry”-“any”-“any”.
Also, in the other 1/6 winning areas, the specific small role B set to the symbol combination of “blue 7”-“bell”-“bell” and “black cherry”-“any”-“any” It is set in the overlapping winning area with the game state transition combination B set in the symbol combination.
Furthermore, in the remaining 1/6 winning area, the specified small role C set to the symbol combination “BAR”-“bell”-“bell” and “red cherry”-“any”-“any” It is set in the overlapping winning area with the gaming state transition combination C set in the combination of symbols.

  As described above, when a specific small role and a gaming state transition combination are duplicated, a duplicate winning combination between the specific small combination A and the gaming state transition combination A, and a duplicate winning combination between the specific small combination B and the gaming state transition combination B Or, there is an overlapping winning combination of the specified small combination C and the game state transition combination C. Therefore, other than this, for example, two specific small roles are won in duplicate, two game state transitional roles are won simultaneously, or a combination of a specific small role other than the above and a gaming state transitional role, such as a specific small role A And the game state transition combination B will not be won in duplicate.

  Further, in each combination lottery table 62, a winning area and a non-winning area for each combination are determined for each number of inserted medals (1 to 3), although not shown. In addition, the winning area and the non-winning area of each role are determined for each set value of the payout rate (for example, 6 levels from setting 1 to setting 6), and the winning probability of each role shown in FIG. FIG. 9 illustrates the winning probability of a combination corresponding to any one of the number of inserted medals and the set value of the payout rate.

(Role lottery table selection means)
The role lottery table selection means 63 is for selecting the role lottery table 62 used in the game.
First, in a non-internal state of the normal game, the combination lottery table selection unit 63 controls to select the combination lottery table 62 a as the combination lottery table 62 used by the combination lottery unit 61. In addition, if a special role is won during a non-internal game or RT game, and the special role is not won in the game, the game after the next game until the special role wins Control is performed so as to select the internal lottery table 62b.

  Then, when the special combination wins and shifts to the special game, the special game is controlled to select the special game combination lottery table 62d. When the special game is finished, in the next game and after, the role lottery table selecting means 63 controls to select the RT lottery table 62c.

The RT game in which the combination lottery table 62c is used is continued until the RT game end condition is satisfied.
Here, the RT game end condition in the present embodiment is defined as until the combination of symbols corresponding to any game state transition combination stops on the active line (until any game state transition combination wins). It has been. When any game state transition combination is won during the RT game, the RT game is finished in the game, and after the next game, the combination lottery table 62a is used (normal game is executed). Therefore, for example, even if a game state transition combination is won (in this case, a specific small combination is won simultaneously), the RT game will not end unless the game state transition combination wins.

(Special role selection carryover means, special role flag)
In the game until the special combination (BB and RB) is won, until the combination of symbols corresponding to the special combination stops on the active line (until the special combination wins), It controls to carry on the special role winning after the next game.

  In this embodiment, when a special combination is won, a special combination flag (divided into BB and RB) is provided for each type of special combination in order to store the special combination. When the special combination is won, the special combination flag is turned on (from OFF). The combination lottery table selection means 63 controls to select the combination lottery table 62b when the special combination flag is on. The on state of the special combination flag is maintained until the special combination wins, and when the special combination wins, the special combination flag is returned from on to off.

(Reel stop control means)
The reel stop control means 65 is based on the lottery result of the winning combination by the winning lottery means 61 when the stop switch 42 is operated, the timing when the stop switch 42 is operated, and the like, which will be described later. 66, the stop position of the reel 31 corresponding to the stop switch 42 is determined, and the motor 32 is driven and controlled so that the reel 31 stops at the determined position.

  For example, the reel stop control means 65 controls to stop the reel 31 so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination is stopped on the effective line within the range of the stop control of the reel 31 in the game won for the combination. The reel 31 is controlled to stop so that a combination of symbols corresponding to a combination other than the winning combination is not stopped on the effective line.

  Here, “within the range of stop control of the reel 31” means within the range of the amount of rotation of the reel 31 (the number of movements of the symbol) from the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated until the reel 31 actually stops. In the present embodiment, the number of symbols is set within 5 symbols including the symbol at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated. In other words, it means within the range of the stop control time of the reel 31, that is, the time from the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated until the reel 31 actually stops. In this embodiment, the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated. Within 190 ms.

  Thus, any of the symbols up to the number of symbols (5 symbols) within the range of stop control of the reel 31 counted from the symbol at the moment when the operation of the stop switch 42 is detected is a symbol to be stopped on the effective line. When the stop switch 42 is operated, the symbol is controlled to stop at the active line.

  In other words, when the reel 31 is stopped immediately at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated at the time of winning the winning combination, if the symbol related to the winning winning combination does not stop on the effective line, By controlling the rotational movement of the reel 31 within the “range of control”, the symbol related to the winning combination is controlled to stop as much as possible on the effective line.

  On the contrary, if the reel 31 is stopped immediately at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated when the winning combination is not won, the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination is stopped on the effective line. When the reel 31 is stopped, the reel 31 is controlled to rotate and move within the “reel 31 stop control range” so that the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination is not stopped on the active line.

(Stop position determination table 66)
The stop position determination table 66 defines the symbol stop position of the reel 31 from the lottery result of the combination by the combination lottery means 61 and the position of the reel 31 at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated.
The stop position determination table 66 is a BB table used at the time of winning BB, an RB table used at the time of winning RB, a duplicate winning table used at the time of overlapping winning between a specific small role and a game state transition combination, and used when winning a replay. The replay table includes a non-winning table that is used in non-winning state.

  The BB table is used on condition that the BB is won in the game, or the BB is won in the game before the game and the game is not won. The combination of symbols corresponding to ("Red 7"-"Red 7"-"Red 7" or "Blue 7"-"Blue 7"-"Blue 7") is stopped at the active line and used for roles other than BB 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.

  The RB table is used on condition that the RB is won in the game, or the RB is won in the game before the game and is not won in the game. Stop the reel 31 so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the symbol ("BAR"-"BAR"-"BAR") is stopped on the effective line, and the combination of symbols corresponding to the role other than RB is not stopped on the effective line. It defines the combination of time symbols.

  Furthermore, the duplicate winning table is used on condition that the specific winning combination and the gaming state transition winning combination are won in the game, and within the range of the stop control of the reel 31, the selected specified winning combination or gaming state transition is made. When the reel 31 is stopped so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the combination is stopped on the active line, and the combination of symbols other than the combination of symbols corresponding to the selected specific small combination or game state transition combination is not stopped on the effective line Is a combination of symbols.

Here, the overlapping winning table of this embodiment is provided with three types of overlapping winning table A, overlapping winning table B, and overlapping winning table C for each overlapping winning combination.
For example, a specific winning combination A related to “Red 7”-“Bell”-“Bell” and a duplicate winning combination used when a game state transitional combination A related to “Blue Cherry”-“any”-“any” is won The table A stops the combination of symbols “red 7”-“bell”-“bell” or “blue cherry”-“any”-“any” within the range of the stop control of the reel 31 to the effective line. In addition, the combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped is determined so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the other specific small role B or C and the other gaming state transition combination B or C is not stopped on the effective line. is there.

  The same applies to the other overlapping winning table B and the overlapping winning table C, so that only the specific small combination B or the gaming state transition combination B or only the specific small combination C or the gaming state transition combination C is stopped on the active line, respectively. The combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped is determined.

  Further, the RP table is used on the condition that the game is replayed or won a predetermined combination, and “RP”-“RP” is a combination of symbols corresponding to the replay or predetermined combination within the range of stop control of the reel 31. "-" RP "is stopped at the effective line, and the combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped is determined so that the combination of symbols other than the combination of symbols is not stopped at the effective line. .

  In addition, the non-winning table is used in a non-winning game that does not carry over the winning of the special role, and the symbol when the reel 31 is stopped so that the combination of symbols corresponding to any of the combinations does not stop on the active line. Are defined.

  By using the stop position determination table 66 described above, the reel stop control means 65, when stopping a combination of symbols corresponding to any of the combinations on the effective line, performs the combination within the range of the stop control of the reel 31. Control is performed so that the symbols constituting the corresponding symbol combination are stopped on the active line.

  FIG. 3 is a plan view showing a symbol arrangement on the outer peripheral surface of each reel 31 in the present embodiment. FIG. 3 shows only a part of the symbol arrangement, and a predetermined symbol is also displayed in a blank part in the drawing, but the description is omitted here.

As shown in FIG. 3, on each reel 31, 21 symbols are arranged at equal intervals.
Further, as shown in FIG. 3, in the left reel 31, “red 7”, “blue 7”, and “BAR”, which are symbols constituting the specific small role, are arranged at No. 2, No. 9, and No. 16, respectively. ing. That is, each of these symbols is arranged at seven symbol intervals. The reason for this arrangement is to make it possible to stop only the symbol related to any one specific small role on the active line from the position where the stop switch 42 is operated.

  In this embodiment, as described above, if the stop switch 42 is turned on when any of the symbols up to 5 symbols before the symbol related to the winning combination is positioned on the active line, the winning combination is configured. The symbol is controlled to stop at that active line.

  For example, in the case where the specific small combination B and the game state transition combination B are won, the stop switch 42 of the left reel 31 is turned on so that the “blue 7” symbol related to the specific small combination B stops on the active line. For example, the symbol “blue 7” stops on the active line. In this case, first, the 3 symbols of No. 3, No. 4, No. 5 and No. 5 of the left reel 31 are present in the display window frame (that means any one of the effective lines; the same applies hereinafter). It is a condition that the stop switch 42 is turned on from the time until the time when three symbols of No. 9, No. 10, and No. 11 exist in the display window frame.

On the other hand, the left reel 31 is located between the position where the 3rd, 4th and 5th symbols are present in the display window frame and the position where the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th symbols are present in the display window frame. If the symbol is stopped, the symbol of the winning combination (the symbol of “red cherry” relating to the gaming state transition combination C) stops in the display window frame, so that the left reel 31 can be stopped at this position. Can not.
Similarly, when the left reel 31 is stopped at a position where the three symbols of No. 9, No. 10, and No. 11 exist in the display window frame, the symbol of the winning combination (the “blue cherry” relating to the gaming state transition combination A) ”) Stops in the display window frame, and the left reel 31 cannot be stopped at this position.

  From the above, from the time when the 3rd, 4th and 5th symbols of the left reel 31 are present in the display window frame to the time when the 3rd symbol of the 8th, 9th and 10th symbols are present in the display window frame. If the stop switch 42 is turned on during this period, the 3 symbols of No. 7, 8, and 9 or the 3 symbols of No. 8, No. 9 and No. 10 are located in the display window frame, and the specified small combination B The symbol “blue 7” related to can be stopped at the active line.

  Then, at the position where the symbol of “Blue 7” relating to the specific small role B can be stopped on the active line (from the time when the symbols of No. 3, No. 4 and No. 5 exist in the display window frame, No. 8 When the stop switch 42 is turned on (by the time the three symbols of No. 9 and No. 10 are present in the display window frame), the other specific small roles A and C, that is, “Red 7” of No. 2 And the 16th “BAR” symbol cannot be stopped on the active line.

This relationship is the same for “blue 7” and “BAR” for “red 7”, and “red 7” and “blue 7” for “BAR”.
Therefore, in this embodiment, from the position where the stop switch 42 is turned on, the symbol related to any one specific small role can be stopped on the active line, and the symbols related to other specific small roles can be set to the active line. The symbols of the left reel 31 are arranged so as not to stop, and the left reel 31 is controlled to stop.

  The above relationship is the same for the game state transition combinations A, B, and C. “Red cherry”, “blue cherry”, and “black cherry” of the left reel 31 are arranged at No. 4, No. 11 and No. 18, respectively, and are arranged at intervals of 7 symbols. Therefore, with respect to the symbols constituting one gaming state transition combination, the symbols constituting the other gaming state transition combination are located at positions that cannot be stopped on the active line within the range of stop control when the reel 31 is stopped. Has been placed.

For example, when the specific small combination A and the game state transition combination A are won, the stop switch 42 of the left reel 31 is stopped on the active line so that the “blue cherry” symbol related to the game state transition combination A stops. If turned on, the “blue cherry” symbol stops on the active line. At this time, 3 symbols of No. 5, 12 and 13 are present in the display window frame from when 3 symbols of No. 5, 6 and 7 of the left reel 31 are present in the display window frame. It is a condition that the stop switch 42 is turned on until the time of the operation.
When the stop switch 42 is operated at any of the above positions, the 4th “red cherry” and the 18th “black cherry” symbols cannot be stopped on the active line.

  In addition, regarding the relationship of each symbol on the left reel 31 between the specified small combination and the gaming state transition combination that are in a winning relationship, the symbol related to the gaming state transition combination is (Figure 9 are separated from each other by 9 symbols (in the direction of the larger symbol number). For example, the symbol “red 7” relating to the specific small role A is arranged in the second position, whereas the symbol “blue cherry” relating to the gaming state transition combination A is arranged in the number 11. Similarly, the symbol “blue 7” related to the specific small combination B is arranged at No. 9, whereas the symbol “black cherry” related to the gaming state transition combination B is arranged at No. 18. Similarly, the symbol of “BAR” relating to the specific small combination C is arranged at No. 16, whereas the symbol of “Red cherry” relating to the gaming state transition combination C is arranged at No. 4.

  Thereby, for example, when the specific small combination B and the gaming state transition combination B are won, the stop switch 42 of the left reel 31 so that the symbol “black cherry” related to the gaming state transition combination B stops on the active line. If is turned on, the symbol “black cherry” stops on the active line. In this case, 3 symbols 18th, 19th and 20th are present in the display window frame from when 3 symbols 12th, 13th and 14th of the left reel 31 are present in the display window frame. It is a condition that the stop switch 42 is turned on until the time of the operation.

  Further, in order to stop any of the valid lines of the symbol “blue 7” relating to the specific small role B, as described above, three symbols of No. 3, No. 4, and No. 5 exist in the display window frame. It is a condition that the stop switch 42 is turned on from the time until 3 symbols of No. 8, No. 9 and No. 10 exist in the display window frame.

  On the other hand, when a range other than the above, that is, when 3 symbols of No. 9, 10 and 11 are present in the display window frame, when 3 symbols of No. 11, 12 and 13 are present in the display window frame And when the 19th, 20th, and 0th 3 symbols are present in the display window frame, until the 3rd, 3rd, 4th, and 4th symbols are present in the display window frame. When the stop switch 42 is turned on in the meantime, both the “blue 7” symbol related to the specific small role B and the “black cherry” symbol related to the gaming state transitional role B may be stopped on the active line. Can not.

As described above, when the specific small combination B and the game state transition combination B are won repeatedly, when the stop switch 42 is operated,
(1) When the symbol of “black cherry” relating to the game state transition combination B stops on the active line (from the time when the symbols of No. 12, No. 13, No. 13 and No. 14 of the left reel 31 exist in the display window When the stop switch 42 is turned on until the time when three symbols of No. 18, No. 19 and No. 20 exist in the display window frame),
(2) When the blue 7 symbol related to the specified small role B stops the effective line (from the time when the 3rd, 4th and 5th symbols of the left reel 31 are present in the display window frame, the 8th , When the stop switch 42 is turned on until the time when three symbols of No. 9 and No. 10 are present in the display window frame),
(3) When neither the “blue 7” symbol related to the specified small role B nor the “black cherry” symbol related to the gaming state transition role B stops on the active line (the left reel 31 No. 9, 10 and 11) From the time when the 3 symbols of No. are present in the display window frame to the time when the 3 symbols of No. 11, 12 and 13 are present in the display window frame, as well as from No. 19, 20 and 0 And when the stop switch 42 is turned on between the time when three symbols are present in the display window frame and when the second, third, and fourth symbols are present in the display window frame.

In addition, when the specific small combination B and the gaming state transition combination B are elected redundantly and the symbol of “black cherry” related to the gaming state transition combination B stops on the active line, the 16th, 17th and 18th of the left reel 31 It is conceivable that the three symbols of the number stop within the display window frame. At this time, since the specific small role C is not won in the game, the combination of symbols “BAR”-“bell”-“bell” does not stop on any active line. In this case, when the middle reel 31 and the right reel 31 are stopped, the reel stop control means 65 stops the “bell” at the lower stage of the middle reel 31 and the lower stage of the right reel 31, or the middle stage of the middle reel 31 and The middle reel 31 and the right reel 31 are controlled to be stopped while avoiding the stop of the “bell” on the upper stage of the right reel 31.
The above relationship holds true also when the specific small combination A and the gaming state transition combination A are won and the specific small combination C and the gaming state transition combination C are won.

  Furthermore, for example, it is expected that the specified small combination A and the game state transition combination A have been won, and the stop switch 42 is turned on so that the “red 7” symbol related to the specific small combination A stops within the display window frame. Assume that At this time, when the specific small combination A and the game state transition combination A are actually won, the winning of “blue cherry” related to the game state transition combination A is avoided, and “red 7” related to the specific small combination A Can be stopped at any active line.

  Here, in order to stop the “Red 7” symbol related to the predicted specific small role A in the display window frame, from the time when the three symbols No. 17, No. 18, and No. 19 exist in the display window frame. It is a condition that the stop switch 42 is turned on until the three symbols of No. 1, No. 2, No. 3 are present in the display window frame. In this case, the three symbols No. 0, No. 1 and No. 2 stop in the display window frame, or the No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 symbols stop in the display window frame. The symbol “7” can be stopped on any active line.

However, if the player's expectations are not met and the specified small role B and the game state transition role B are repeatedly won, the three symbols of No. 17, No. 18, and No. 19 are present in the display window frame. If the stop switch 42 is turned on before the three symbols No. 18, No. 19 and No. 20 are present in the display window frame, No. 18 “black cherry” will stop at the active line. It becomes.
Similarly, when the player's expectation is wrong and the specific small role C and the gaming state transition combination C are duplicated, the three symbols 19th, 20th and 0th are present in the display window frame. If the stop switch 42 is turned on before the first, second, and third three symbols are present in the display window frame, the fourth “red cherry” stops at the active line. It will be.

  As described above, even when the stop switch 42 is turned on so that the symbol of “red 7” relating to the specific small role A stops on the active line, “black cherry” relating to the gaming state transitioning role B and gaming state transition The “red cherry” relating to the combination C may stop at the active line.

Further, for the middle reel 31 and the right reel 31, all the symbols of “bell” are arranged at intervals within 5 symbols. Therefore, the symbol “bell”, which constitutes the specific small role, is arranged at intervals of within the range of the stop control of the reel 31 (within 5 symbols including the symbol at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated). Is arranged. As a result, when one of the specific small roles is won, the “bell” symbol is always stopped at the effective line for the middle reel 31 and the right reel 31 regardless of the position at which the stop switch 42 is turned on. Can be controlled.
On the other hand, even if a symbol related to a specific small role that has not been won is stopped on the left reel 31, as described above, stop control is performed on the middle reel 31 and the right reel 31, so that It can be avoided that the winning combination stops at the active line.

  In addition, when the symbols of “Bell” are arranged at intervals exceeding the range of stop control of the reel 31 (for example, intervals of 6 symbols), the selected specific small combination is constituted at the time of winning of any specific small combination. Unless the stop switch 42 is operated at a position where the “bell” that is the symbol to be stopped can be stopped on the active line, the symbol that constitutes the selected specific small role cannot be stopped on the active line.

  From the above, when one of the specified small roles and the game state transition combination is won, if the combination of symbols corresponding to the selected specific small role is not known, it corresponds to the selected specific small role with a probability of 1/3. The combination of symbols to be performed can be stopped at the active line. On the other hand, when the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning game state transition combination is not known, the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning gaming state transition combination is stopped on the active line with a probability of 1/3.

  Although not shown in FIG. 3, in this embodiment, in all the reels 31, “RP” that is a symbol related to replay and a predetermined combination is the same as the “bell” symbol of the middle reel 31 and the right reel 31. It is arranged at intervals within 5 symbols. Therefore, when a replay or a predetermined combination is won by the combination lottery means 61 and the RP table is used, no matter which position the stop switch 42 is operated, the replay or the predetermined combination corresponds to any effective line. The combination of symbols “RP”-“RP”-“RP” can be stopped (replay or a predetermined role can be won).

(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 are paid out to the player in accordance with the winning combination, 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.

(Special game control means)
The special game control means 69 starts the special game (BB game or RB game) (transition from the normal game to the special game), progress of the game during the special game, and end of the special game (from the special game to the normal game). Transition) and the like.

  The special game control means 69 shifts from the normal game to the BB game when the combination of specific symbols corresponding to BB stops on the active line. Further, when the combination of specific symbols corresponding to RB stops on the active line, the game is shifted from the normal game to the RB game.

Further, the special game control means 69 includes a special game state flag 69a. The special game state flag 69a is a flag that is turned on when the game state is set to the special game state during the BB game or the RB game, and turned off when the special game state ends.
First, during the normal game, when the symbol combination corresponding to BB stops on the active line, BB is won and the BB game is started from the next game.

  At this time, the special game control means 69 turns on the special game state flag 69a immediately before the start of the first game of the BB game (immediately before the reception of the medal from the player). Thereby, the special game state is set from the first game of the BB game.

In the special game state, the special game control means 69 accepts only one medal when starting the game. When one medal is inserted and the start switch 41 is operated, one symbol combination line in the middle in the horizontal direction is set as an effective line.
Furthermore, the special game control means 69 continues to determine whether or not the special game state termination condition is satisfied. In the present embodiment, the special game state end condition is when the predetermined number of winning combinations reaches 8 times or when the number of games reaches 12 times.

  When the number of winnings for the predetermined role reaches 8 times, or when the number of games in the special gaming state reaches 12, the special game control means 69 terminates the special gaming state. At the end, the special game state flag 69a is turned off.

  Further, the special game control means 69 turns on the special game state flag 69a immediately before the start of the next game of the game (immediately before the reception of medals from the player). Thus, in a game that satisfies the special game state end condition, the special game state ends at the end of the game, but the game state is set to the special game state again immediately before the start of the next game.

  Therefore, in the control of the slot machine 10, the gaming state is not the special gaming state from the end of the game that satisfies the special gaming state termination condition to just before the start of the next game. However, from the viewpoint of the player, at the start of all the games in the BB game, the special game state flag 69a is turned on and the special game state is set, so that it feels that the special game state continues without interruption. (The player does not recognize that the gaming state is not the special gaming state).

Note that the BB game of the present embodiment is as described above, but may be a BB game that has been conventionally known.
That is, when shifting to the BB game, first, in the same way as in the normal game, a general game in which a predetermined number of medals (for example, 3) are inserted and a game is played is performed, and a bonus game for shifting to the bonus game in this general game A lottery for the transitional role will be drawn. When the bonus game transition role is won and won during a general game, the next game is shifted to the bonus game.

  In the bonus game, one medal is inserted, and a game is performed in which one symbol combination line in the middle in the horizontal direction is set as an effective line. In the bonus game, a lottery of a predetermined role is performed, and when the number of winnings of the predetermined role or the number of games of the bonus game reaches a specified number, the bonus game is ended and the game returns to the general game. In this way, until the BB game end condition (for example, when the number of games in the general game reaches the specified number of times or when the number of times of transition to the bonus game reaches the specified number of times), the general game and the bonus game are satisfied. It will repeat the journey to and from.

In the present embodiment, 15 medals are paid out when a predetermined combination is won.
Furthermore, in this embodiment, the BB game end condition is set such that the number of medals paid out during the BB game exceeds the upper limit. Here, the upper limit value of the present embodiment is set to 465 sheets.
Therefore, in the present embodiment, the special game control means 69 keeps counting the number of medals paid out during the BB game and updates the number of coins paid out for each game.

  When the number of medals paid out in the game exceeds 465, it is determined that the upper limit is exceeded, and the BB game ends in the game. On the other hand, when the number of payouts in the game is 465 or less, it is not determined that the upper limit value has been exceeded, so that the BB game is also performed in the next game.

  The RB game is played until the predetermined number of winnings reaches 8 times or until the number of games reaches 12. That is, the game in the special game state is performed once in the BB game. In the RB game, the special game control means 69 continues to count the number of games or the number of winnings of a predetermined role.

(Production control means)
The effect control means 70 controls the output of effects from the above-described effect output devices (the lamp 21, the speaker 22, and the image display device 23).
The effect control means 70 selects an effect 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 70 selects one effect pattern by lottery using software random numbers after the role lottery means 61 has been drawn 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 BB winning, replay 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 70 controls to output an effect from the effect output device at a predetermined timing according to the selected effect pattern.

(Game mode selection means)
The game mode selection means 71 selects whether the game mode during the normal game is a notification game mode or a non-notification game mode.
Here, the notification game mode is a game mode in which a game is played by notifying information for winning the selected specific small role when the specific small role and the game state transition combination are won by the combination lottery means 61. It is.

On the other hand, the non-notification game mode does not notify information for winning the selected specific small combination even when the specific small combination and the game state transition combination are won by the combination lottery means 61. This is a game mode in which a game is performed.
In addition, the information refers to information that can easily win the selected special combination when notifying, when notified, particularly the information of the present embodiment corresponds to the selected specific combination This is a combination of symbols.

In the non-notification game mode, even if a specific small role is won (during duplicate winning), it is not known whether a specific small role related to any combination of symbols is won. You cannot win a prize.
On the other hand, in the notification game mode, when a specific small combination is won (during duplicate winning), information on the combination of symbols corresponding to the selected specific small combination is notified, so that the selected specific small combination is easy. Can be awarded.

Here, in this embodiment, the game mode selection means 71 sets the normal game after the end of the BB game or the RB game as the notification game mode. The number of notifications can be determined by various methods. For example, (1) Uniformly set the number of notifications to 30, (2) Guarantee notification until the number of notifications reaches 10 times, and duplicate winning of the next specified small role and game state transition combination Sometimes, if the game state transition combination does not win (if the RT game is continued), add another 10 notifications from that point, and (3) notify until the number of notifications reaches 20 In addition to guaranteeing, in the subsequent RT games, when a predetermined small role is won, an additional 20 times of notifications are added, and (4) notification is made until the number of notifications reaches 20. In the meantime, if a predetermined small role is won in the meantime, further increase the number of notifications 20 times, (5) determine the number of games in the notification game mode without determining the number of notifications , Etc. Alternatively, it may be determined by lottery using software random numbers.
In the following description, it is assumed that the number of notifications in the notification game mode is defined as “the notification number reaches 30 times uniformly” in (1) above.

  In addition, when BB or RB is won during the game of the notification game mode, the game in the notification game state may be ended at that time, but when the number of notifications still remains, the game shifts to BB game or RB game. In such a case, the number of notifications may be set by adding the remaining number of times in the RT game after the end of the BB game or RB game.

(Specific small role notification means)
When the game mode selection unit 71 selects the notification game mode, the specific small role notification unit 72 stores the information when the combination lottery unit 61 wins both the specific small role and the game state transition combination. It controls to alert | report.
Specifically, the player is informed so that the player can know which symbol combination corresponds to the selected small combination.

  As a specific notification method, for example, when the specific small combination A and the gaming state transition combination A are won, the specific small combination notification means 72 causes the image display device 23 to display the symbol related to the specific small combination A, for example, For example, “Red 7” may be displayed.

  As described above, since the combination of symbols of the selected specific small role is notified, the player overlaps the specific small role and the game state transition combination in the game when the combination of symbols is notified. You can know the winning combination and the combination of symbols of the selected special winning combination, and if you operate the stop switch 42 at the appropriate timing according to the notification, you can win the selected specified winning combination in 100% . In other words, the winning of the winning game state transition combination can be avoided by the above notification. That is, the RT game can be continued, which is advantageous for the player.

  On the other hand, when the above-mentioned notification is not performed (during the non-notification game mode), even if the player knows that one of the specific small roles and the game state transition combination has been won. In terms of probability, the combination of symbols corresponding to the selected small winning combination can be stopped on the active line only at a rate of once every three times.

Therefore, there is a three-fold difference in the probability that the specific small role wins between the notification game mode and the non-notification game mode.
On the other hand, when the above-mentioned notification is not performed, when one of the specific small roles and the gaming state transition combination is won, the winning gaming state transition combination wins with a probability of 1/3. That game ends the RT game.

Specifically, the payout rate is as follows.
In the non-notification game mode, the probability that a specific small combination wins is 1/6, and the payout rate at that time is 9 (paid-out number) / 3 (inserted number).
Therefore, the payout rate based on the specific small role in the non-informing game mode is
1/6 × 9/3
≒ 0.5, which is less than 1 (100%).

On the other hand, in the notification game mode, the probability that the specific small combination wins is ½ (when it is assumed that the specific small combination can be won at 100% at the time of notification).
Therefore, the payout rate based on the specific small role in the notification game mode is
1/2 x 9/3
≒ 1.5
And exceeds 1 (100%).

  As described above, as a flow of the game, the RT game in the notification game mode is executed after the end of the BB game or the RB game. When the notification game mode ends, the RT game is in the non-notification game mode. In this case, since it is not known which specific small role has been won, when the specific small role and the gaming state transition combination are won, the gaming state transition combination is won with a probability of 1/3. When the game state transition combination wins, the RT game ends in the game, and the normal game is executed after the next game.

Next, a game flow in the present embodiment will be described based on a flowchart. 4 and 5 are flowcharts showing the flow of processing during a normal game or an RT game. FIG. 5 is a flowchart following FIG.
In the following flowchart, an RT flag (a flag that is turned on during RT game) for determining whether or not an RT game is being played, and a notification flag (notification that indicates whether or not a game state is being played) A flag that is turned on during the game mode) is provided. The number of notifications in the notification game mode is set to 30.

  In step S11 of FIG. 4, the game control means 60 continues to detect whether or not a medal has been inserted. And when insertion of a medal is detected, such as operating the bet switch 40, it progresses 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, an effective line corresponding to the number of inserted medals is determined, and the process proceeds to step S13. In step S <b> 13, the game control unit 60 controls to start rotation of all the reels 31.

In the next step S14, it is determined whether or not the RT flag is on in the game. And when it determines with it being ON, it progresses to step S15, and when it determines with it not being ON, it progresses to step S16.
In step S15, an RT game combination lottery table (62c) is set as the combination lottery table 62 used in the game. Then, the process proceeds to step S17.
On the other hand, in step S16, as the combination lottery table 62 used in the game, a combination lottery table (62a or 62b) for normal games is set. Then, the process proceeds to step S17.

  In step S17, the combination lottery means 61 performs combination drawing using the combination lottery table 62 set in step S15 or step S16. Next, proceeding to step S18, it is determined whether or not the notification flag is on in the game. If it is determined in step S18 that the switch is on, the process proceeds to step S19. If it is determined that the switch is not on, the process proceeds to step S24 (FIG. 5).

  In step S19, it is determined whether or not the specified small combination and the game state transition combination are won in the lottery. If it is determined that the winning combination is duplicated, the process proceeds to step S20. If it is determined that the winning combination is not performed, the process proceeds to step S24. In step S20, the specific small combination notifying unit 72 notifies the symbol related to the selected specific small combination (which symbol is the symbol among the three types of specific small combinations). Then, the process proceeds to step S21.

  In step S21, a process of adding 1 to the number of notifications P (P = P + 1) is performed. In the next step S22, it is determined whether or not the number of notifications P has reached 30. When it is determined that the number of notifications P has reached 30, the process proceeds to step S23, the notification flag is turned off, and the process proceeds to step S24. On the other hand, when it is determined in step S22 that the number of notifications P has not yet reached 30, the notification flag is kept on and the process proceeds to step S24.

In step S24, the stop position determination table 66 corresponding to the winning combination of the game is set. In the next step S25, 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 S26, and the reel stop control means 65 controls the drive of the motor 32 to stop the reel 31 corresponding to the stopped switch 42 that is turned on.
Next, proceeding to step S27, 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 S28. On the other hand, when it is determined that all the reels 31 have not stopped yet, the process returns to step S25.

  In step S28, the stop symbol determining 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 S29. On the other hand, when it is determined that no prize has been won, the processing according to this flowchart is terminated. In step S29, the payout means 68 performs processing such as paying out medals according to the winning combination. For example, when a specific small combination wins, the number of medals (9) corresponding to the specific small combination won is paid out, and at the time of replay winning, a process of automatically inserting the number of medals inserted in the game is performed. Do. Then, the process proceeds to step S30.

In step S30, it is determined whether or not any game state transition combination has won in the game (note that although omitted in this flowchart, the process of step S30 is performed only when the RT flag is on). . If it is determined that a prize has been won, the process proceeds to step S31. If it is determined that a prize has not been won, the process proceeds to step S32. In step S31, the RT flag is turned off. Then, the process proceeds to step S32.
In step S32, the stop symbol determining means 67 determines whether or not a special combination (BB or RB) has won. When it is determined that the special combination has been won, the process proceeds to step S33, and the special game control means 69 controls to shift to the special game, respectively, according to the special combination that has won. On the other hand, when it is determined in step S32 that the special combination is not won, the processing according to this flowchart is terminated.

  6 and 7 are flowcharts showing the flow of processing during the BB game. FIG. 7 is a flowchart following FIG. In FIG. 5, when it is determined that the BB is won in step S32 and the process proceeds to step S33, the process proceeds to step S41 and subsequent steps in FIG.

  First, in step S41 of FIG. 6, the special game control means 69 controls to initialize (Z = 0) the medal payout number (total number) Z during the BB game. Next, proceeding to step S42, the special game control means 69 controls to turn on the special game state flag 69a. That is, after the transition to the BB game, the special game state flag 69a is turned on immediately before the start of the first game (immediately before the medal insertion is accepted). In the next step S43, the special game control means 69 performs a special game state initialization process. Specifically, an initial value is set for the (remaining) number of games X in the special gaming state (in this embodiment, the initial value of the number of games X = 12), and an initial value for the (remaining) number of winnings Y for a predetermined role. Is set (in this embodiment, the initial value of the number of winning times Y = 8).

  Next, proceeding to step S44, 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 S45, and the game control means 60 continues to detect whether or not the start switch 41 is turned on. When ON is detected, an effective line corresponding to the number of inserted medals is determined, and the process proceeds to step S46. In step S46, the game control means 60 controls to start the rotation of all reels 31.

  In the next step S47, the special game control means 69 subtracts 1 from the number X of games (X = X-1). In the next step S48, the combination lottery means 61 performs a combination lottery using the combination lottery table 62d. Next, proceeding to step S49, the reel stop control means 65 sets the stop position determination table 66 according to the winning lottery result in step S48. In the next step S50, the game control means 60 continues to detect whether or not the stop switch 42 is turned on, and when on is detected, the process proceeds to step S51. In step S51, the reel stop control means 65 determines the stop position of the reel 31 based on the position of the reel 31 when the stop switch 42 is operated and the stop position determination table 66 set in step S49. Then, the reel 31 is controlled to stop at the determined position.

  In the next step S52, the game control means 60 determines whether or not all the reels 31 are stopped, and if it is determined that all the reels 31 are stopped, the process proceeds to step S53 (FIG. 7). On the other hand, when it is determined in step S52 that all the reels 31 are not stopped, the process returns to step S50.

In step S53, the stop symbol determination means 67 determines whether or not the combination of symbols corresponding to the predetermined combination has stopped on any of the effective lines (whether or not the predetermined combination has won a prize). If it is determined that the predetermined combination has won, the process proceeds to step S54. If it is determined that the predetermined combination has not been won (no combination has been won), the process proceeds to step S58.
In step S54, the payout means 68 performs processing (including credit addition processing) such as paying out the number of medals (15) corresponding to the predetermined winning combination. Then, the process proceeds to step S55.

  In step S55, the special game control means 69 performs an update process of the number Z of medals paid out during the BB game. For example, when the number of medals paid out in the game is 15, processing of Z = Z + 15 is performed. Next, proceeding to step S56, the special game control means 69 subtracts 1 from the winning count Y (Y = Y-1). Then, the process proceeds to step S57.

  In step S57, the special game control means 69 determines whether the medal payout number Z has exceeded the upper limit M (465 in this embodiment). When it is determined that the upper limit value M is not exceeded, the process proceeds to step S58, and the special game control means 69 determines whether (remaining) the number of games X = 0 or (remaining) the number of winnings Y = 0. Determine whether or not. When it is determined that at least one of X = 0 or Y = 0 is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S59, and when it is determined that it is not satisfied (X = 0 and not Y = 0), the process returns to step S44. The next game also continues the game in the special game state.

  When the process proceeds from step S58 to step S59, the special game control means 69 turns off the special game state flag 69a and returns to step S42. As a result, the special game state flag 69a is once turned off at the end of this game, but is turned on in step S42 immediately before the start of the game in the next game.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S57 that the upper limit value M has been exceeded, the process proceeds to step S60, and the special game control means 69 turns off the special game state flag 69a. Next, the process proceeds to step S61, and the notification flag is turned on and the RT flag is turned on in order to perform the notification game mode game and the RT game from the next game. Then, in step S62, the special game control means 69 performs control so as to end the BB game and shift to the RT game.

The flow of the RB game process is not shown in the flowchart, but the flow of the RB game will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7. The process of step S41 (initialization of the payout number Z) and the process of step S57 Processing (determination of whether or not the number of payouts exceeds the upper limit M) is not performed.
If the special gaming state flag 69a is turned off in step S59, the same processing as in step S61 (processing for turning on the notification flag and turning on the RT flag) is performed. Then, the RB game is terminated, and control is performed so that the RT game is executed after the next game.

As mentioned above, although one Embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to embodiment mentioned above, For example, the following various deformation | transformation is 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.

  (2) In the present embodiment, three types of symbols are provided as combinations of symbols corresponding to specific small combinations and combinations of symbols corresponding to gaming state transition combinations, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as with the left reel 31, the symbols of the right reel 31 are divided into three types of specific small roles (for example, “red 7”, “blue 7” and “BAR”) and three types of game state transition roles. Such a pattern (for example, “red cherry”, “blue cherry”, and “black cherry”) may be provided. As a result, there are nine combinations of symbols corresponding to the specific small combination and the game state transition combination. On the other hand, it is good also as two types fewer than this embodiment.

  In addition, as disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent No. 3302975, a plurality of types (for example, six types) of specific small combinations having different operation orders of the stop switch 42 are provided. At the time of overlapping winning, the operation order of the stop switch 42 related to the selected small combination may be notified. Then, when the operation order of the stop switch 42 is incorrect, the game state transition combination may be won, and the RT game may be terminated by winning the game state transition combination.

  (3) In the present embodiment, when the specific small role and the game state transition combination are won in the notification game mode, information for winning the specific small role is notified, and in the non-notification game mode, The information was not reported. However, the notification is not limited to whether or not it is performed in the embodiment, but the notification game mode in which there are many opportunities to be notified (the probability of being notified is high) and the opportunity to be notified are low (the probability of being notified is low). ) A non-notification game mode may be provided. For example, a lottery of whether or not to make a notification may be performed, and notification may be performed only when the lottery is won, and notification may not be performed when the lottery is not won.

(4) The sizes of the special combination, specific small combination, gaming state transition combination, replay, predetermined combination, and non-winning area shown in this embodiment are examples, and are limited to those shown in this embodiment. Is not to be done.
(5) Further, the type of combination is not limited to the combination shown in the present embodiment, and for example, an SB that is another special combination or another small combination may be provided.

  (6) In the present embodiment, the specific small combination and the game state transition combination are won in duplicate. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and at least two types of specific combination (specific combination A and specific combination B) may be provided. In this case, the specific combination A has the first symbol combination A and the second symbol combination A, and the specific combination B has the first symbol combination B and the second symbol combination B. To. When a specific combination is won, a symbol lottery is performed, and one of the first symbol combination and the second symbol combination can be stopped on the active line by the lottery.

Further, when the combination of the first symbols stops on the active line, the gaming state is shifted (shifted from the RT game to the normal game) in the same manner as the gaming state transition combination of the present embodiment, and the second symbol is changed. When the combination is stopped on the active line, a predetermined number of payouts may be made in the same manner as the specific small combination of the present embodiment.
Furthermore, in at least one reel 31, the second symbol combination A is placed at a position where it cannot be stopped on the active line within the range of the stop control with respect to the symbols constituting the first symbol combination A. The second symbol combination B is arranged at a position where the symbol cannot be stopped on the effective line within the range of the stop control with respect to the symbols constituting the first symbol combination B. The second symbol combination B is configured at a position where it cannot be stopped on the effective line within the range of the stop control with respect to the symbols constituting the second symbol combination A. Make sure the symbols are placed.

  Furthermore, when the special combination A is won by the combination lottery means 61, the reel stop control means 65 is either the first symbol combination A or the second symbol combination A within the range of the stop control. While controlling one to stop at the active line, the first symbol combination B and the second symbol combination B, which are combinations of symbols corresponding to the specific combination B that is not won in the game, are set to the active line. When control is performed so as not to be stopped and the specific combination B is won by the combination lottery means 61, either the first symbol combination B or the second symbol combination B is valid within the range of the stop control. The control is performed so that the line stops, and the first symbol combination A and the second symbol combination A corresponding to the specific combination A that is not won in the game are not stopped on the active line. Control That.

  Then, when the special combination A or the specific combination B is won by the combination lottery means 61, specific combination notification means for notifying information indicating the second symbol combination A or the second symbol combination B (this embodiment) The specific small combination notification means 72) may be provided.

  (7) In this embodiment, the game after the end of the BB game and the RB game is the game in the notification game mode and the RT game, but is not limited to this. For example, the conditions for starting and ending the game in the notification game mode and the conditions for starting the RT game are individually set, and only the game in the notification game mode, only the RT game, and the notification game mode and RT game It may be provided.
