In the case of the internal winning, the internal winning state is carried over until the internally winning pattern is stopped and displayed, thereby giving a new game properties of guessing the internal winning pattern, until the internal winning pattern and the pattern inferred by the game player coincide with each other, and the pattern is stopped and displayed. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT

Description

  The present invention relates to a rotating game machine that provides game media to a player according to a winning mode determined by a combination of symbols stopped and displayed in a plurality of areas.

  In a spinning-type game machine, when the start lever is operated after a game medal has been inserted, a variable display of multiple types of symbols is started in a plurality of areas, and an internal lottery is performed to determine the winning mode. ing. If the combination of symbols stopped and displayed by the operation of the stop button, etc. corresponds to the winning mode that was won internally, game medals are paid out according to the winning mode, but it corresponds to the winning mode that was won internally. If not, game medal will not be paid out.

  Since it is not always easy to operate the stop button at an appropriate timing so that the symbol that is displayed in a variable manner is stopped and displayed with the symbol that has been won internally, There may be cases where payment cannot be received. Therefore, if there is a lottery result symbol in the order that can be stopped and displayed from the symbol when the stop button is operated etc., the symbol of each region is set so that the symbol of each region is a combination of the lottery result symbols. Pull-in control is performed (Patent Document 1).

JP 2004-180935 A

  However, as a result of the control for drawing in the symbols, if the internal winning is made, the symbols in the winning mode will be aligned with a high probability. For this reason, whether or not a game medal can be paid out is almost never due to whether or not the lottery is performed internally, and there is a problem that there is not much room for the player to be involved.

  The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-described problems, and a spinning-reel game machine in which a player can be more actively involved in a game while performing control for drawing a symbol. The purpose is to provide.

In order to solve at least a part of the above-described problems, the rotating game machine of the present invention employs the following configuration. That is,
A plurality of types of symbols are variably displayed in a plurality of areas, lotteries are performed, symbols in the respective areas are stopped and displayed by a subsequent stop operation, and the combination of the symbols displayed in a stopped state is a winning mode selected in the lottery. In the case of a spinning-type gaming machine that pays out game media to the player according to the winning mode,
Design variation display means for displaying the plurality of types of symbols in a predetermined order determined for each region;
The stop operation in each area was performed at the time when the symbol of the winning mode won by the lottery was displayed or at an earlier time within the predetermined number of symbols than the symbol of the winning mode was displayed. In the case, the symbol stop control means for stopping and displaying the symbol of the winning mode by controlling the stop speed of the symbol that is variably displayed,
For at least one predetermined winning mode, the lottery result carry-over means for carrying the result of the lottery to the next stop display even if the symbol combination of the winning mode won in the lottery is not stopped and displayed,
In the symbol combination of the winning mode, a plurality of types of carryover symbols that are symbol combinations of the winning mode in which the result of the lottery is carried over are provided,
The symbol variation display means displays symbols constituting the carryover symbol in an order separated from the predetermined number of symbols.

  In such a spinning-type game machine of the present invention, when the symbol display that is variably displayed is stopped, and the symbol combination that is stopped and displayed is the symbol combination of the winning mode, the game medium is paid out. It has become. The symbol stop operation does not necessarily have to be performed at the timing when the symbol of the winning mode is displayed. If the symbol is stopped at an earlier timing within the predetermined number of symbols than the symbol of the winning mode is displayed, the symbol is stopped. By the action of the stop control means, it is possible to stop display with the symbol combination of the winning mode. In addition, in the spinning type gaming machine of the present invention, a plurality of types of carry-over symbols that carry the result of the lottery are provided, and the symbols constituting these carry-over symbols are based on a predetermined number of symbols that can be controlled by the symbol stop control means. Are also arranged in a separated state.

  Here, if the symbols constituting a plurality of carryover symbols are arranged in a state close to each other within the predetermined number of symbols, just by performing a stop operation on the front side of the carryover symbols, the function of the symbol stop control means, It is possible to automatically stop at a winning symbol combination among a plurality of carryover symbols. However, if the symbols that make up multiple types of carryover symbols are arranged apart from each other by a predetermined number of symbols, the winning symbol combination can be automatically stopped by the action of the symbol stop control means. Can not. Therefore, in order to stop the winning symbol combination, it is necessary for the player to perform the stop operation at a timing within a predetermined number of symbols on the near side of the estimated symbol while estimating the symbol combination. In other words, by placing the symbols that make up the carryover symbol in a state that is separated from the predetermined number of symbols that can be controlled by the symbol stop control means, by allowing the player to guess the winning symbol combination, It becomes possible to be more actively involved in the game, and it is possible to provide a revolving game machine having new game characteristics.

  Of course, the player's guess is not always true, and therefore the winning symbol cannot always be stopped and displayed. However, even if the winning symbol combination cannot be stopped and displayed, the result of the lottery is carried over by the carry-over symbol, so that the symbol combination that the player has won again can be estimated. For this reason, it is possible to more fully exhibit the new gameability of allowing the player to guess the winning symbol combination.

  In such a spinning-type gaming machine, a plurality of types of carryover symbols may be provided for at least one winning mode in which winning results are carried over.

  In this way, at least for the winning mode, it is necessary to guess which symbol combination of the carry-over symbols provided in multiple types is won, so that the winning combination is stopped until the winning symbol combination is stopped and displayed. It becomes possible to add a further change to the new gameability of inferring the symbol combination of the aspect. In this way, the winning symbol combination is not easily stopped and displayed, so that it is easy to secure time for performing various effects.

  In addition, in the above-described spinning-type game machine, when a winning mode in which the result of the lottery is carried over is won, the player may be notified that the selection has been made.

  In this way, by notifying that the winning mode in which the result of the lottery is carried over is informed, the player can be actively encouraged to guess the winning symbol combination. Therefore, it is possible to further fully exhibit the new gameability that allows the player to guess the winning symbol combination.

  In such a spinning-type game machine, when the result of the lottery is carried over, the player may be notified of the carry over.

  In this way, it is possible to notify that the lottery result has been carried over, so even if the winning symbol combination cannot be stopped and displayed, the willingness to guess the symbol combination is maintained. It is possible to attract the player's interest in the game. In addition, at this time, if the symbol combination can be continued while using the previously stopped symbol as a hint, the symbol combination to be estimated gradually narrows, and the symbol combination of the winning mode is stopped and displayed. It is also possible to increase the probability. As a result, it is possible to stimulate the player's willingness to guess.

  In such a spinning-type game machine, the player may be notified of information related to the combination of symbols in the winning mode according to the number of times the lottery result has been carried over.

  If the number of carry-overs increases, more information about the combination of symbols in the winning mode can be obtained, and even if no guess is made, the willingness to guess the winning symbol will be hindered. Absent. As a result, the player's interest in the game can be attracted. Here, the information related to the combination of symbols in the winning mode is, for example, information such as the number of the winning mode symbols and the symbols that are stopped and displayed, the type of winning mode, and which symbol matches. Is mentioned.

  In general, as the number of carry-overs increases, it can be considered as a beginner player, so the content to be notified may be changed according to the carry-over frequency. For example, in a past game, information regarding a combination of symbols in the winning mode is notified little by little to a player who wins a small number of times. On the other hand, in a past game, if the number of times is not a large number, a player who does not win a prize is notified of information regarding combinations of symbols in many winning modes from an early stage. In this way, if notification is made according to the player's game level, it is possible to secure a certain amount of time until winning is established regardless of the player's level. For example, it is possible to produce an effect when the lottery result is carried over.

  In addition, in the above-described spinning-type game machine, when the number of carryovers reaches a predetermined number, the player may be notified of the combination of symbols in the winning mode.

  In this way, you can enjoy the game of guessing the symbol combination until the predetermined number of times is reached, and even if it is difficult to stop and display the winning symbol combination, It is possible to stop display with the combination of the symbols of the notified winning mode. For this reason, it is possible to provide a new gameability for a novice player to guess a winning symbol combination.

A closing button 37, a settlement button 39, a first stop button 43L, a second stop button 43C, a third stop button 43R, and the like are connected. When these buttons 35, 37, 39, 43 L to 43 R are operated by the player, a signal indicating the operation result is input to the main control board 101 through the central display lamp board 107. In the main control board 101, based on this input signal, the operation state for each button 35, 37, 39, 43L to 43R is determined.

  In addition to the central display lamp board 107, a left display lamp board 125, a right display lamp board 127, a start lever unit 129, a medal selector 131, and the like are also connected.

  The left display lamp substrate 125 is a substrate for performing ON / OFF control of the 1 medal line lamp 15a, the 2 medal line lamp 15b, the 3 medal line lamp 15c, and the game start display lamp 17 provided on the left side of the display window 5. It is. Such ON / OFF control is performed by inputting a predetermined signal from the main control board 101 to the left display lamp board 125 via the central display lamp board 107.

  The right display lamp board 127 performs ON / OFF control of the stop display lamp 19, the re-game lamp 21, the big bonus notification lamps 23a to 23c, and the game medal insertion lamp 25 provided on the right side of the display window 5. It is a substrate for. Such ON / OFF control is performed by inputting a predetermined signal from the main control board 101 to the right display lamp board 127 via the central display lamp board 107.

  The start lever unit 129 includes the aforementioned start lever 41 and a rotating cylinder rotation start sensor (not shown) for detecting the operation of the start lever 41. When the start lever 41 is operated by the player, the operation is detected by the rotating cylinder rotation start sensor, and a rotating cylinder rotation start signal indicating the detection result is input to the main control board 101 via the central display lamp board 107. Is done. With such a configuration, the computer on the main control board 101 can determine the operation state with respect to the start lever 41.

  The medal selector 131 is a device for selecting the game medals inserted from the game medal slot 33 based on the dimensions, and accepting only the game medals that meet the standard dimensions. In the medal selector 131, in addition to the function of selecting such game medals, the medal sensor (not shown) detects the passage of the inserted game medals, and the blocker is activated by an electromagnetic solenoid (not shown). A function of returning a game medal without accepting it is also provided. When the passage of the game medal is detected by the medal sensor, a medal detection signal indicating the detection result is output from the medal selector 131 to the main control board 101 via the central display lamp board 107. With this configuration, the computer on the main control board 101 can determine whether or not a game medal has been inserted from the game medal slot 33.

  In addition to the main control board 101, the stepping motors 133L, 133C, 133R, the rotation sensors 135L, 135C, 135R and the like are connected to the rotor board 103.

  The stepping motors 133 </ b> L to 133 </ b> R are motors for rotating or stopping each cylinder 13. These stepping motors 133L to 133R are provided in a number corresponding to each of the spinning cylinders 13L to 13R (three in this embodiment), and the axis of each of the stepping motors 133L to 133R is the rotation axis of the corresponding spinning cylinder 13. It is used as. The rotation or stopping operation of these stepping motors 133L to 133R can be controlled by sending a signal from the main control board 101 to the stepping motors 133L to 133R via the rotating board 103. Therefore, each cylinder 13 can be rotated or stopped by rotating or stopping the stepping motors 133L to 133R with a control signal from the main control board 101.

  The cylinder sensors 135L to 135R are for detecting the passage of index portions (not shown) provided in each cylinder 13, and the number corresponding to each cylinder 13L to 13R (three in this embodiment). ) Is provided. When the index portion of each of the spinning cylinders 13 passes through the spinning cylinder sensors 135 </ b> L to 135 </ b> R and the passage is detected by each of the spinning cylinder sensors 133 </ b> L to 133 </ b> R, a spinning cylinder index signal indicating the detection result is passed through the spinning board 103. The cylinder sensors 133L to 133R are inputted to the main control board 101. For this reason, the main control board 101 can control the rotation angle of each spinning cylinder 13 (and thus the position of the pattern drawn on the outer peripheral surface of the spinning cylinder 13). In addition, since the index part of each spinning cylinder 13 passes the spinning cylinder sensor every time the spinning cylinder 13 makes one revolution, the spinning cylinder index signal is controlled from the spinning cylinder sensors 133L to 133R every time the spinning cylinder 13 makes one revolution. Output to the substrate 101.

  In addition to the main control board 101, a medal payout device 137 and the like are connected to the power supply board 109. The power supply board 109 supplies power to the spinning board 103, the sub control board 105, the central display lamp board 107, and the like via the main control board 101, and also supplies power to the medal payout device 137.

  The power supply board 109 also has a function of relaying transmission / reception of signals performed between the main control board 101 and the medal payout device 137. When a signal for paying out a game medal is output from the main control board 101, the signal is input to the medal payout device 137 via the power supply board 109. As a result, the game medal payout from the medal payout device 137 is performed. Game medals are discharged to the exit 9. Then, the number of game medals paid out is counted by the medal payout device 137, and a game medal payout signal indicating the result is input to the main control board 101 via the power supply board 109. With such a configuration, the CPU 111 can manage the number of game medals stored in the gaming machine 1, the number of game medals to be paid out to the player, and the like.

B. Overview of control:
The basic flow of the gaming operation in the gaming machine 1 configured as described above is as follows. First, when a game medal is bet before the game starts, the winning lines L1 to L3 are activated according to the number of bets. Next, when the start lever 41 is operated by the player, the game is started by starting the rotation of the rotating cylinder 13, and then when the stop button 43 is operated by the player, the rotating of the rotating cylinder 13 is started. A single game is completed by stopping the game. When such a game is performed once, the gaming machine 1 determines whether or not a predetermined winning symbol combination is aligned on an effective winning line. As a result, when it is determined that predetermined winning symbol combinations are aligned on the effective winning line (winning is established), game medals are paid out to the player according to the winning mode. In order to realize such a game, in the gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, a computer including the CPU 111 described above executes the following control processing.

B-1. General game processing:
FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a general game process performed in the gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment. This general game process is a process that is executed after the gaming machine 1 is turned on and after initialization processing such as thumb check of the ROM 113 and clearing of the RAM 115 is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 3, in the general game process, it is first determined whether or not a game medal is bet (step 10; hereinafter, “step” is abbreviated as “S”). That is, whether or not a game medal has been betted by insertion of a game medal from the game medal insertion slot 33, operation of the one-sheet insertion button 35 or the three-sheet insertion button 37, or automatic re-insertion based on the establishment of a winning of a re-game player Is determined (S10).

  If no game medal is bet in the process of S10 (S10: NO), the determination process (S10) is repeated to wait until a game medal is bet. On the other hand, when a game medal is bet, a series of processes described below is started. First, it is determined that a game medal is bet (S10: YES), and as a result, a lottery process during general game shown in FIG. 4 is executed (S20).

B-2. General game lottery processing:
FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a lottery process during a general game performed in the gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment. This general game lottery process is an internal lottery process (hereinafter referred to as “internal lottery”) using the lottery table shown in FIG. That is, by acquiring one random value that can be taken in the range of [0] to [65535] and referring to the lottery table of FIG. 5 based on the acquired random value, various “winning modes ( Role) Select one of “Lose” or “Lose”. Note that in a spinning-type game machine, winning a winning combination is not established (determined) just by winning a predetermined combination (hereinafter referred to as “internal winning”) by internal lottery using a lottery table. In order for a winning to be established, it is necessary to stop display in a state where the symbol combinations corresponding to the internal winning combination are aligned on the active line.

  FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing a lottery table used in a lottery process during a general game. As shown in FIG. 5, the lottery tables used in the general game lottery process include “general game lottery table”, “internal winning lottery table”, “RT (replay time) lottery table”, and the like. Each of these lottery tables is a table that stores a correspondence relationship between a random value and a combination (or loss). For example, in the “general game lottery table”, “tin tint” is associated with random numbers in the range of “9340 to 9539”.

  In the general game lottery process, as shown in FIG. 4, it is first determined whether the big bonus combination (BB combination) or the regular bonus combination (RB combination) is being won internally (S210). “Internally winning” means that an internal winning was made in a game played in the past, but the symbol combination corresponding to the role won internally is not yet available on the active line, so the internal winning state is It means that it has been carried over to the game. For example, even if the BB role or RB role was won internally in the previous game, if the symbol combination corresponding to the BB role or RB role was not aligned on the active line, the BB role or RB role was won internally. The state will be carried over to this game. When the internal winning of the BB combination or the RB combination is performed in this way, the CPU 111 sets a flag indicating the internal winning in a predetermined area of the RAM 115, and therefore, by referring to this flag, it is determined whether or not the internal winning is being performed. be able to. In addition, for the small combination and re-playing combination, the internal winning state is not carried over.

  In the process of S210, when it is in a state where the BB combination or RB combination is internally won (internal winning) (S210: YES), a lottery is performed based on the “internal winning lottery table” (S220), and then Returning to the general game process shown in FIG. On the other hand, if it is not the state in which the BB combination or RB combination is internally won (internal winning) (S210: NO), it is determined whether or not the RT flag is ON (S230). Here, the RT (replay time) flag is a flag indicating whether or not the gaming machine 1 is in a special gaming state called an RT game, and is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 115. Further, the RT game is simply a gaming state in which the winning probability of the re-game is higher than that of the general game. If a re-game player is established, it is possible to play a game without newly inserting a game medal. Therefore, during RT game, the game can be continued with almost no game medals, and if the BB role, RB role or small role is established during RT game, the game medals are paid out according to the established role. Since it can be received, it can be said that it is an advantageous gaming state for the player. As will be described in detail later, in the gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the BB game ends, the number of RT games is determined by lottery and the RT flag is set. Therefore, in the process of S230 in FIG. 4, it is determined whether or not the RT flag is set to ON. If the RT flag is ON, it means that the current game state is not a normal general game but a general game performed during the RT game.

  If the RT flag is not ON (S230: NO), an internal lottery is performed based on the “general game lottery table” shown in FIG. 5 (S240). That is, by acquiring one random number value that can be taken in the range of [0] to [65535] and referring to the “general game lottery table” based on the acquired random value, various winning modes (Role) or Loss is selected. In this process, for example, when a random value of [9350] is acquired, “Sn Tin Minor” is selected (winning internally). As described above, when the internal lottery is performed based on the “general game lottery table” (S240), the process returns to the general game process shown in FIG.

  In the process of S230, if the RT flag is ON (S230: YES), an internal lottery is performed based on the “RT lottery table” (S250). As described above, during the RT game, it is a special game state in which the winning probability of the re-gamer is set higher than that of the general game. For this reason, when the RT flag is ON, an internal lottery is performed using the “RT lottery table” set exclusively. As shown in FIG. 5, in the “lottery table during RT”, the winning probability of the re-gamer is set higher than that in the general game as compared with the “lottery table during general game”. In other words, during RT, by making it easy to win a re-playing role, while suppressing the consumption of game medals, if you win the BB role, RB role or small role, game medals will be paid out as in general gaming. It is.

  When the internal lottery is performed based on the “RT lottery table” in the process of S250, the RT game number is incremented to count the RT game number (S260). Here, in the gaming machine 1 of this embodiment, an RT game number counter for counting the number of RT games is provided in a predetermined area of the RAM 115, and this RT game number counter is incremented.

  After incrementing the number of RT games (S260), it is determined whether the number of RT games has reached the upper limit (S270). Here, the upper limit value is set in the RT lottery process in the BB game process to be described later (S700 shown in FIG. 11). If the number of RT games has reached the upper limit (S270: YES), the RT game, which is a game state advantageous to the player, is terminated, and the RT flag is canceled (S290). On the other hand, if the number of RT games has not reached the upper limit (S270: NO), it is determined whether or not an internal winning is being won for the big bonus combination (BB combination) or the regular bonus combination (RB combination) (S280).

  If the BB combination or RB combination is won internally (S280: YES), the RT flag is canceled (S290). This is because it is considered that the game started by the BB combination or the RB combination is more advantageous for the player than the RT game, and it is not necessary to continue the RT game. On the other hand, if neither the BB combination nor the RB combination is won internally (S280: NO), the lottery process during the general game is terminated as it is, and the process returns to the general game process shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the “internal winning lottery table” used in the lottery process during the general game has random values corresponding to the BB role and the RB role compared to the “general lottery table”. Not set. This is to prevent the internal winning of the BB combination or the RB combination in a state where the internal winning combination is the BB combination or the RB combination.

B-3. Production pattern determination processing:
In the general game process shown in FIG. 3, when returning from the general game lottery process (S20), an effect pattern determination process is executed. In the effect pattern determination process, in response to the result of the general game lottery process (S20 in FIG. 3) performed previously, a process for determining the effect contents performed by the effect display device 124 is performed. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an effect pattern determination process performed in the gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment.

  When the effect pattern determination process is started, it is determined whether or not the big bonus combination (BB combination) or the regular bonus combination (RB combination) has been internally won (S310). In this embodiment, when an internal winning combination such as the BB role or the RB role is carried over to the role that carries the lottery result, the effect display device 124 performs an effect. In response to this, the BB role or the RB role is assigned. If the internal winning is selected, the production pattern is determined.

  When the effect pattern is determined in this way, the effect pattern is output toward the sub-control board 105 (S320). On the sub control board 105, a specific effect is performed according to the effect pattern received from the main control board 101. The production pattern output by the main control board 101 may indicate a specific production content, or only a rough production content or production time is determined by the main control board 101, and a specific production content is determined. The production contents may be determined by the sub control board 105.

B-4. Cylinder rotation start processing:
In the general game process shown in FIG. 3, when the process returns from the effect pattern determination process (S30), the rotating rotation start process is executed. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the rotation rotation starting process performed in the gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment. This rotation rotation starting process is a process for starting the rotation of the rotation cylinder 13 when a predetermined condition is satisfied. In the rotation rotation start processing of the present embodiment, when two conditions are satisfied, that is, the start lever 41 is turned ON, and a predetermined time (for example, 4.1 seconds) from the start of rotation of the rotation cylinder 13 in the previous game. ) When the above has elapsed, the rotation of the rotating drum 13 is started.

  In the rotation rotation starting process, as shown in FIG. 7, it is first determined whether or not the start lever 41 is ON (S410). If the start lever 41 is not turned on (S410: NO), the determination processing (S410) is repeated to wait until the start lever 41 is turned on. On the other hand, if the start lever 41 is ON (S410: YES), it is determined whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed since the start of rotation of the drum 13 in the previous game (S420).

  In the process of S420, if the predetermined time has not elapsed since the rotation start of the cylinder 13 in the previous game (S420: NO), the predetermined period elapses by repeatedly executing the determination process (S420). Wait until. When a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of rotation of the spinning cylinder 13 in the previous game (S420: YES), a driving signal is output from the main control board 101 to the stepping motors 133L to 133R. The rotation is started (S430), and then the process returns to the general game process shown in FIG.

B-5. Revolving rotation stop processing:
In the general game process shown in FIG. 3, when returning from the rotation rotation start process (S <b> 40), in order to reflect the lottery result determined in the general game lottery process (S <b> 20) described above, A rotation stop process is executed (S50). FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the spinning cylinder rotation stop process performed in the gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment. This spinning cylinder rotation stopping process is a process of stopping the rotation of the spinning cylinder 13 when a predetermined condition is satisfied. In the rotation rotation stop processing of this embodiment, when the rotation of the rotation cylinder 13 is started and the rotation speed becomes constant, the stop button 43 is turned on within a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds), or The rotation of the rotating drum 13 is stopped when a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) elapses after the rotation of the rotating drum 13 is started and the rotation speed becomes constant.

  Therefore, in the rotation rotation stopping process, as shown in FIG. 8, it is first determined whether or not the stop button 43 is turned on (S510). If the stop button 43 is not turned on in the processing of S510 (S510: NO), it is determined whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed since the rotational speed of the rotating cylinder 13 becomes constant (S520). As a result, when a predetermined time has elapsed since the rotational speed of the rotating cylinder 13 becomes constant (S520: YES), the stop positions of the first rotating cylinder 13L, the second rotating cylinder 13C, and the third rotating cylinder 13R. (Stop angle) is determined (S530). Then, the first cylinder 13L, the second cylinder 13C, and the third cylinder 13R are sequentially stopped at the determined stop position (S540). On the other hand, in the process of S420, when the predetermined time has not elapsed since the rotation speed of the rotating drum 13 becomes constant (S520: NO), the predetermined time elapses by executing the process of S510 again. Wait until.

  In the process of S510, when any of the stop buttons 43 is turned on (S510: YES), the stop position of the rotating drum 13 corresponding to the stop button 43 turned on is determined (S530), Based on the determination result, the rotating cylinder 13 is sequentially stopped (S540). Here, the stop position of the rotating drum 13 is determined based on the operation timing of the stop button 43 and the result of the internal lottery. Specifically, in this embodiment, the winning line L1 at the center of the display window 5 shown in FIG. 1 is used as the reference position, and within a predetermined frame number range from the symbol displayed at the reference position when the stop button 43 is operated ( In the present embodiment, within the range of 0 frame to 4 frames), the symbol that is actually stopped and displayed at the reference position is determined. Therefore, when the stop button 43 is operated, the rotating cylinder 13 may stop immediately or may be stopped with a slight delay from the operation of the stop button 43. In this way, the control for stopping the rotating drum 13 with a delay from the operation of the stop button 43 is so-called “retraction control” for adjusting the stop position of the rotating drum 13 within the range of the predetermined number of frames. By performing this pull-in control, a combination of symbols corresponding to the result of the internal lottery is stopped and displayed on each pay line L1 to L3.

  If the predetermined spinning cylinder 13 is stopped in the processing of S540, it is next determined whether or not the rotation of all the spinning cylinders 13 is stopped (S550). As a result, when the rotation of all the cylinders 13 is stopped (S550: YES), the process returns to the general game process shown in FIG. On the other hand, if it is not determined that the rotation of all the cylinders 13 has been stopped as a result of the process of S450 (S550: NO), the process returns to the process of S510 to determine whether or not the stop button 43 has been turned ON. To do. Thereafter, when the rotation of all the cylinders 13 is stopped (S550: YES), the process returns to the general game process shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 3, in the general game process, after returning from the spinning rotation stop process (S50), it is next determined whether or not any winning combination has been established (S60). As described above, in a spinning-type game machine, even if a winning combination is won internally, the winning combination of the winning combination alone is not established. In order for a winning combination of an internal winning combination to be established, it is necessary to stop and display a combination of symbols corresponding to the internal winning combination on the active line. Therefore, in the process of S60, it is determined whether or not the winning combination of the winning combination is established based on the symbols stopped and displayed in the above-described spinning rotation stop process (S50). FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram showing combinations of symbols that should be stopped and displayed on the active line in order to establish each winning in the general gaming state. In FIG. 9, the number of game medals to be paid out when each winning is established is also displayed.

  For example, in order to win the “BB role”, as shown in FIG. 9, a combination of symbols such as “7-7-7” and “3-3-3” is arranged on the effective line. Therefore, the first cylinder 13L to the third cylinder 13R need to be stopped. Further, in order to establish the “tin tint”, the first cylinder 13L to the third cylinder 13R are arranged so that the symbol combination “tin-tin-tin” is aligned on the effective line. I need to stop.

  In the determination as to whether or not a winning is achieved in the general game process of FIG. 3 (S60), the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination (see FIG. 9) is stopped and displayed on the active line. This is done by determining whether or not. As a result, if no winning combination has been established (S60: NO), the process returns to S10 and waits until a game medal is bet again. When it is confirmed that a bet is made (S10: YES), the above-described series of processing is executed again.

  On the other hand, if a winning combination is established for any combination (S60: YES), it is determined whether or not the established combination is a re-game combination (S70). As a result, when a re-game is established (S70: YES), after automatic re-insertion (S80), the process returns to S10 and waits until a game medal is bet again. Here, automatic re-injection means automatically betting the same number of game medals as used in the previous game, that is, automatically betting the game medals used in the previous game. To tell. In other words, it means that the current game is executed without substantially reducing the player's game medals. When it is confirmed that a bet is made (S10: YES), the above-described series of processing is executed again. On the other hand, when the established combination is not a re-game combination (S70: NO), a medal payout process is executed (S90).

  In the medal payout process (S90), a process of paying out the corresponding number of game medals is performed after winning is established.

  As shown in FIG. 3, when returning from the medal payout process (S90) in the general game process, it is determined whether the winning combination is an RB combination (S100). In this process, if the winning combination is the RB combination (S100: YES), the regular bonus game process shown in FIG. 10 is executed (S110), and then the process returns to the process of S10 to play the game medal again. Wait until bet. When it is confirmed that a bet is made (S10: YES), the series of processes shown in FIG. 3 is executed again.

B-6. Regular bonus game processing:
FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing a regular bonus game process (S110) performed in the gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment. As described above, when a winning combination of RB is established, this regular bonus game process (RB game process) is executed. In this regular bonus game (RB game), a predetermined combination (for example, a combination in which a combination of symbols that cannot be won in a general game is a winning combination, or a combination in which such a combination of symbols and a general game is a winning combination) The combination that both wins will win with a high probability.

  As shown in FIG. 10, when the RB game process is started, it is first determined whether or not a game medal is bet (S610). This process is the same as the process of S10 in the general game process shown in FIG. In this process, when a game medal is bet (S610), a lottery process for RB game is executed (S620). In this lottery process, an internal lottery is performed using an RB gaming lottery table (not shown).

  When the lottery process for the RB game in S620 is finished, an effect pattern determination process (S630), a spinning cylinder rotation start process (S640), and a spinning cylinder rotation stop process (S650) are executed. Since these processes are the same as the effect pattern determination process (see FIG. 6), the rotation rotation start process (see FIG. 7), and the rotation rotation stop process (see FIG. 8) performed in the general game process shown in FIG. The description is omitted here.

  When all the spinning cylinders 13 are stopped by the spinning cylinder rotation stop process, it is next determined whether or not any winning combination has been established (S660). Whether or not winning has been established is determined by determining whether or not the symbol combinations shown in FIG. 11 are stopped and displayed in a state where they are aligned on the active line, corresponding to the winning combination. FIG. 11 is an explanatory diagram showing the award symbol combination and the number of game medals to be paid out in the RB gaming state. As a result of all the cylinders 13 being stopped, if a winning combination of any of the combinations shown in FIG. 11 is established (S660: YES), a predetermined number (see FIG. 11) of game medals are paid out to the player. After that (S670), it is determined whether or not to end the RB game process (S680). On the other hand, if no winning combination has been established (S660: NO), it is determined whether or not to end the RB game process without paying out a game medal (S680).

  Whether or not to end the RB game process (S680) is determined when the number of games performed in the currently executed RB game process reaches a predetermined number (for example, 12 times), or when the RB game currently being executed This is performed based on a case where the number of winnings established in the game process reaches a predetermined number (for example, 8 times). As a result of such processing, when the predetermined end condition is not satisfied and the RB game processing is not ended (S680: NO), the processing returns to S610 to determine whether or not a game medal is bet. On the other hand, when the RB game process is ended (S680: YES), the process returns to the general game process shown in FIG.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3, when the winning combination is not the RB combination in the general game process (S100: NO), it is subsequently determined whether or not the winning combination is the BB combination. (S120). As a result, when the winning combination is the BB combination (S120: YES), a big bonus game process described later is executed (S130), and then the process returns to the process of S10 to bet a game medal again. Wait until. On the other hand, when the winning combination is not the BB combination (S120: NO), the process returns to S10 without shifting to the process of S130 and waits until a game medal is bet again. When it is confirmed that a bet is made (S10: YES), the series of processes shown in FIG. 3 is executed again.

B-7. Big bonus game processing:
FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing the big bonus game process (S130) performed in the gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment. As described above, when a winning combination of BB combination is established, this big bonus game process (BB game process) is executed. The big bonus game (BB game) refers to a game that is performed after the BB game process is started after the BB winning combination is established and until the BB game process is completed.

  As shown in FIG. 12, in the BB game process, first, it is determined whether or not a game medal is bet (S710). This process is the same as the process of S10 in the general game process shown in FIG. In this process, when a game medal is bet (S710: YES), a lottery process for the BB game is executed (S720). This lottery process is an internal lottery process using the big bonus game lottery table shown in FIG.

  FIG. 13 is an explanatory diagram showing a lottery table (BB game lottery table) used in the lottery process for BB games. This BB game lottery table is a table that stores the correspondence between random values and winning combinations (or loses). The numerical values shown in parentheses in FIG. 13 are the winning probabilities of the respective roles. As shown in FIG. 13, in the BB gaming lottery process, the winning probability (18000/65536) of the RB role is set higher than the winning probability (124/65536) of the RB role in the general gaming lottery process shown in FIG. Has been. For this reason, during the BB game, it becomes easy to win the RB combination and shift to the RB game, so that the player can easily acquire a game medal. Note that, as is clear from the BB gaming lottery table shown in FIG. 13, during the BB gaming, a re-game player is not won.

  When the lottery process for the BB game in S720 is finished, an effect pattern determination process (S730), a spinning cylinder rotation start process (S740), and a spinning cylinder rotation stop process (S750) are executed. Since these processes are the same as the effect pattern determination process (see FIG. 6), the rotation rotation start process (see FIG. 7), and the rotation rotation stop process (see FIG. 8) performed in the general game process shown in FIG. The description is omitted here.

  If all the rotating cylinders 13 are stopped in the rotating rotation stop processing (S750), it is next determined whether or not any winning combination has been established (S760). Whether or not a winning is achieved is determined by determining whether or not the symbol combination shown in FIG. 14 is stopped and displayed in a state where the symbols are aligned on the effective line, corresponding to the winning combination. FIG. 14 is an explanatory diagram showing a winning symbol combination and a payout number of game medals in a big bonus (BB) game state.

  If no winning combination is established (S760: NO), it is determined whether or not to end the BB game without paying out a game medal (S800).

  If any winning combination is established (S760: YES), the number of game medals corresponding to the winning combination (see FIG. 14) is paid out to the player (S770), and then the winning combination is determined. It is determined whether or not the role is RB (S780). If the winning combination is an RB combination (S780: YES), after executing the RB game process (S790), it is determined whether or not to end the BB game (S800). Note that winning in the RB combination in the BB gaming state is generally called jack-in winning or jack-in. By the way, as described above, a lottery table is set so that it is easy to win the RB combination during the BB game (see FIG. 13). As a result, during the BB game, many RB combinations are generated, so that the player can easily acquire game medals. Since the contents of the RB game process in the BB game state are the same as the RB game process (see FIG. 10) called from the general game process shown in FIG. 3, the description thereof is omitted here.

  On the other hand, when the winning combination is not the RB combination (S780: NO), it is determined whether or not to end the BB game process without executing the RB game process (S800). The determination as to whether or not to end this BB game process is made based on the number of game medals paid out to the player during the BB period, the number of RB game processes performed during the BB period, and the like. . For example, when the number of game medals paid out to the player during the BB period reaches an upper limit number (for example, 465), or the number of RB game processes performed during the BB period is a predetermined number ( For example, when it reaches 3 times, it is determined that the end condition for the BB game process is satisfied.

  If the BB game process end condition is not satisfied (S800: NO), the process returns to S710 to determine whether or not a game medal has been bet. On the other hand, when the BB game process end condition is satisfied (S800: YES), RT lottery process is performed (S810). Specifically, the value in increments of 50 is set as the number of RT (replay time) games between 50 and 200 times. Then, the RT flag indicating that the RT game has been set is set (S820), and the process returns to the general game process shown in FIG. Here, the RT flag is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 115.

  As described above, the RT lottery process is performed, the number of RT games is set (S810), the RT flag is set (S820), the BB game process shown in FIG. 12 is terminated, and the general game process shown in FIG. Return to. After returning to the general game process, after detecting the series of processes described above, that is, that a game medal has been betted and performing an internal lottery, the rotating cylinder 13 is rotated and stopped. When it is determined that a winning is achieved from the combination of 13 symbols, a game medal is paid out. Note that the RT game number may be fixed (for example, fixed to 100 games after the end of the BB game), and the lottery of RT games (S810) may not be performed.

C. First Example:
As described above, when the stop button 43 is operated while the rotating cylinder 13 is rotating, the stopping control of the rotating cylinder 13 is performed so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination is stopped and displayed on the winning line. Is called. Focusing on these points, in the gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, by devising the arrangement of the symbols of each cylinder 13, it will not only stop and display the symbol that is won internally, but will be described below. It is possible to provide players with new and new game characteristics. In the following, first, the arrangement of the symbols of the rotating drum 13 will be described, and then a new game property obtained when the rotating drum 13 is used will be described.

C-1. Pattern arrangement of each round drum:
FIG. 15 is an explanatory diagram illustrating the arrangement of symbols on the outer peripheral surfaces of the first cylinder 13L, the second cylinder 13C, and the third cylinder 13R. As shown in FIG. 15, 21 symbols from No. 1 to No. 21 are arranged in each of the drums 13L to 13R. By rotating each spinning cylinder 13L-13R, the symbols of each spinning cylinder 13 are displayed in order from the smallest number to the largest number from the top to the bottom of the display window 5, and again when the twenty-first symbol is displayed. The first symbol is displayed.

  In each of the spinning cylinders 13L to 13R, the symbols “3”, “6”, and “7” shown in FIG. 15 are symbols corresponding to the BB role or the RB role. There are always six symbols that correspond to small roles (“tin”, “plum”, “cherry”) and re-playing roles. As will be described later, this is because the pull-in control of this embodiment is set to 4 frames or less, and symbols corresponding to the BB role and the RB role can be pulled-in. The aim is to give a new playability by determining the arrangement of the symbols in the respective drums 13 so as to be separated from the number. Hereinafter, this point will be described in detail. In the following description, the pull-in control that is performed in a state in which the BB combination of “3-3-3” is internally won will be described.

  FIG. 16 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the pull-in control in the case where six small combinations and re-playing combinations are arranged between symbols corresponding to the BB combination or the RB combination. In FIG. 16, the pull-in control is described by taking the first cylinder 13L as an example, but the same pull-in control is also performed in the second cylinder 13C and the third cylinder 13R. In FIG. 16, “◯” indicates a symbol that is won internally, “●” indicates a symbol on the central pay line L 1 (reference position) in the display window 5 when the stop button 43 is operated, and “□”. Indicates a symbol actually stopped and displayed on the winning line L1 in the center of the display window 5, and “↑” indicates a symbol passed by the pull-in control. In addition to the winning line L1, the winning line may be established for the winning lines L2 and L3. In this embodiment, the winning line L1 will be described as a representative example.

  As described above, in the pull-in control, symbols within a predetermined number of frames from the symbol when the stop button 43 is operated (in the present embodiment, within a range of 0 to 4 frames) are stopped and displayed. Specifically, as shown in the column (a) of FIG. 16, when the player operates the stop button 43 with “Replay” of the number 9, “3” of the number 13 that is advanced four frames is stopped and displayed. Also, as shown in the column (b) of FIG. 16, when the player operates the stop button 43 with the “tin” of the number 10, “3” of the number 13 which is the symbol that is won internally until the four frames advance. Therefore, “3” of the number 13 is stopped and displayed. Further, in the case shown in the columns (c) to (e) of FIG. 16 as well, the number 13 “3”, which is the symbol that has been won internally by the time four frames advance, exists. “3” is stopped and displayed.

  On the other hand, as shown in the column (f) of FIG. 16, after “3” of the number 13 which is the symbol which is won internally is displayed, the player is displayed at the timing when “tin” of the next number 14 is displayed. When the stop button 43 is operated, the number 18 “tin” advanced by 4 frames is stopped and displayed. Further, as shown in the column (g) of FIG. 16, when the player operates the stop button 43 with the “plum” of the number 15, the “plum” of the number 19 that is advanced four frames is stopped and displayed.

  In the gaming machine 1 of this embodiment, since such pull-in control is performed, in order to stop and display “3” of the number 13 on the winning line L1 in the center of the display window 5, the “replay” of the number 9 is used. ”To“ Replay ”of the number 12 or“ 3 ”of the number 13, the stop button 43 may be operated.

  On the other hand, between the symbols corresponding to the BB role or the RB role, the number of frames that is smaller than the number of frames (in this embodiment, within the range of 0 to 4 frames) that can be controlled by drawing a small role or replaying role. Consider the case where only a number are arranged. FIG. 17 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a state in which the pull-in control is performed when only one small combination or replay combination is placed between symbols corresponding to the BB combination or the RB combination. Similarly to FIG. 16 described above, “○” in the figure indicates the symbol that is won internally, “●” indicates the symbol when the stop button 43 is operated, and “□” indicates the symbol that is actually stopped. “↑” indicates the symbols passed by the pull-in control.

  As shown in the column (a) of FIG. 17, when the number 13 “3” is an internally winning symbol, the player guesses that the internally winning symbol is the number 15 “7”. Then, when the stop button 43 is operated with the “replay” of the number 12, the symbol “3” of the number 13 that is an internal winning symbol exists until the advance of 4 frames, and therefore the “3” of the number 13 The stop will be displayed. In addition, as shown in the column (b) of FIG. 17, when the symbol “7” of the number 15 is an internally winning symbol, the player is determined that the symbol of the internally winning symbol is “3” of the number 13. If the stop button 43 is operated with the number 12 “Replay”, the number 15 “7”, which is the internal winning symbol before the four frames advance, exists. "Is stopped and displayed.

  Comparison of FIG. 16 and FIG. 17 reveals the following. That is, in the symbol arrangement of FIG. 16 in which the symbol (“3” or “7”) corresponding to the BB role or the RB role is provided apart from the number of frames that can be pulled in (4 frames in this embodiment), For example, when “3” of number 13 is won internally, the stop button 43 must be operated between “replay” of number 9 and “3” of number 13, and similarly, for example, number 20 If the internal winning is “7”, the winning combination cannot be established unless the stop button 43 is operated between the “Plum” number 16 and the “7” number 20.

  On the other hand, in the symbol arrangement as shown in FIG. 17, for example, it is assumed that the internal winning is given by “3” of the number 13, and the period from “Replay” of the number 9 to “3” of the number 13 Even if the stop button 43 is operated with the aim of, the symbol that is actually won internally is “7” of the number 15, “Plum” of the number 11 to “3” of the number 13, If the stop button 43 is operated, a win is established at the number “7”. On the other hand, for example, assuming that the internal winning is made with “7” of the number 15, even if the stop button 43 is operated aiming from “Plum” of the number 11 to “7” of the number 15, If the symbol that is actually won internally is “3” of No. 13 and the stop button 43 is operated between “Plum” of No. 11 and “3” of No. 13, Winning is established at “3”.

  Therefore, in the symbol arrangement as shown in FIG. 17, it is almost meaningless to operate the stop button 43 by guessing the symbol which is won internally, and it is simply stopped and displayed with the symbol which is won internally. Become. If this is seen from the opposite side, as shown in FIG. 16, the symbol corresponding to the BB role or RB role is separated from the number of frames (in the range of 0 to 4 frames in this embodiment) that can be controlled. By arranging it, it becomes possible to provide a player with a new game characteristic of “estimating a symbol that is won internally and establishing a prize”. Therefore, even if the control for drawing in the winning symbol is performed, the player can be more actively involved in the game.

  In addition, the display window 5 which displays to the player the design drawn on the rotary cylinder 13 and the rotary cylinder 13 which consist of the 1st rotary cylinder 13L of this embodiment, the 2nd rotary cylinder 13C, and the 3rd rotary cylinder 13R. The CPU 111 that controls the rotation of the trunk 13 constitutes one aspect of the “design variation display means” of the present invention, and the CPU 111 of this embodiment constitutes one aspect of the “design stop control means” of the present invention. The CPU 111 and the RAM 115 of the embodiment constitute one aspect of the “lottery result carryover means” of the present invention.

C-2. Production process:
In each game (general game, RB game, BB game), an effect corresponding to each game is performed on the effect display device 124. In FIG. 6 described above, when the CPU 111 of the main control board 101 determines an effect pattern, an effect command corresponding to the effect pattern is output to the sub-control board 105. In the following, the CPU of the sub control board 105 that has received the effect command sounds a sound effect from the speaker 121 or lights or blinks the lighting 123 in accordance with the analysis result of the effect command, and the effect display device. The effect processing for executing the effect at 124 will be described. FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing effect processing performed in the gaming machine 1 of the first embodiment.

  In the effect process, first, the sub control board 105 determines whether or not an effect command is received from the CPU 111 of the main control board 101 (S910). As shown in FIG. 6 described above, the CPU 111 of the main control board 101 determines an effect pattern based on whether or not the BB role or RB role is being internally won, and outputs an effect command corresponding to the effect pattern. It is output to the control board 105. For this reason, when an effect command is not received (S910: NO), it waits until an effect command is received. When the effect command is received (S910: YES), the sub control board 105 executes the effect on the effect display device 124 based on the effect command (S920). Note that the CPU 111 of the main control board 101 has different sound effects from the speaker 121, lighting or blinking of the lighting 123, or the effect on the effect display device 124 depending on each game (general game, RB game, BB game). The effect pattern is output to the sub-control board 105.

  The sub-control board 105 determines whether or not the production time designated by the production command has ended (S930). When the production time has ended (S930: YES), the ringing at the speaker 121, the lighting or flashing of the lighting 123, and the production at the production display device 124 are finished (S950). On the other hand, when the production time has not ended (S930: NO), the sub control board 105 determines whether or not the production cancellation command has been received from the CPU 111 of the main control board 101 (S940). Here, in the case of receiving the effect cancel command, for example, the stop operation of the three drums 13 is performed before the effect time elapses, and the result of one game is obtained, and the game is started for the start of the next game. For example, a medal insertion (bet) process is performed. If the effect cancel command has not been received (S940: NO), the process returns to S930 to determine whether or not the effect time has ended. On the other hand, when the effect cancel command is received (S940: YES), the effect on the effect display device 124 is ended (S950).

C-3. Notification process of the first embodiment:
In this way, depending on each game (general game, RB game, BB game), the sound effect from the speaker 121, lighting or blinking of the lighting 123, or the effect of the effect display device 124 is different. Although it can be increased, it is desirable to notify the player that the BB role or the RB role is internally won in order to further enhance the interest of the player. At this time, it is conceivable to notify using the speaker 121, the lighting devices 123, and the effect display device 124. However, since the player always keeps an eye on the rotating drum 13, a method of notifying using the rotating drum 13 is also considered. It is done. Below, the alerting | reporting process which alert | reports to a player that it is winning internally using the rotation cylinder 13 is demonstrated. FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing the notification process performed in the gaming machine 1 of the first embodiment.

  In the notification process, first, the CPU 111 of the main control board 101 determines whether or not the BB combination or the RB combination is being won internally (S1010). When the internal winning is not performed (S1010: NO), the process waits until the internal winning is achieved. If the internal winning is being performed (S1010: YES), whether or not the symbol in which all the rotating cylinders 13 are stopped in the rotating rotation stop processing (S50) corresponds to the combination of the internally selected symbols and a winning has been established. It is determined whether or not (S1020). If a winning is established (S1020: YES), this notification process is terminated (S1030).

  On the other hand, if no winning is established (S1020: NO), it is determined whether or not the predetermined number of games has been consumed (S1040). Here, “digesting a predetermined number of games” means, for example, a case where three games are digested after winning an internal game, or a time when one game is digested after winning an internal game. When the predetermined number of games has been consumed (S1040), the reel 13 is informed that the internal winning is made (S1050). Specifically, as described above with reference to FIG. 9, a role that constitutes the BB role or RB role (“3”, “6”, “7”), but does not fall under the BB role or RB role. (For example, “7-6-7”) is stopped and displayed to notify that the internal winning is being performed. That is, although it is not the BB combination or the RB combination, a combination of symbols confusing with the BB combination or the RB combination is stopped and displayed to notify that the internal winning is being performed. Then, returning to S1010, until the winning by the internal winning is established (S1020: YES), the notification to that effect is repeatedly executed (S1050).

  In this way, if the winning is not made and the winning is not established, the fact that the internal winning has been made will be notified by a combination of symbols confusing with the BB role and RB role, so the player won the internal winning Can be notified intuitively and easily. That is, by stopping and displaying in a pattern confusingly with the BB role or RB role, the player misunderstands that the BB role or RB role has been established, but since the game medal is not paid out, the player may It is assumed that you may feel that you are winning internally. Moreover, since the player is informed that the player has won the inside using the reel 13 that is most noticed, the player is easily noticed. Therefore, it is possible to notify the player that the internal winning is surely made. In addition, the rotating cylinder 13 including the first rotating cylinder 13L, the second rotating cylinder 13C, and the third rotating cylinder 13R of this embodiment constitutes one aspect of the “winning notification unit” of the present invention.

  In this way, it is possible to notify the player that the internal winning is made using the rotating cylinder 13, but it is also possible to notify the player that the internal winning is made using the effect display device 124. It is. FIG. 20 is an explanatory diagram showing an effect for notifying the player that an internal winning is made using the effect display device 124. FIG. 20A is an explanatory diagram showing a state immediately after the internal winning. That is, immediately after the internal winning is made, the effect that the car is placed at the start position is displayed on the effect display device 124 to notify the player that the internal winning is made. For this reason, if the effect displayed on the effect display device 124 is suddenly switched to the screen as shown in FIG. 20A, it is possible to notify the player that the internal winning is made. For example, even a player who does not know the game of the gaming machine 1 can suddenly switch the effect on the effect display device 124 to notice that the game state has been changed to some kind of game state.

  FIG. 20 (b) is an explanatory diagram showing an effect when only one corresponding symbol matches when the symbol displayed in a stopped state is compared with the symbol of the internal winning. In the present embodiment, the rotating cylinder 13 is composed of three rotating cylinders 13L, 13C, and 13R. Therefore, when the symbol displayed in a stopped state is compared with the symbol of internal winning, only one corresponding symbol is present. If it is, the effect that the vehicle has been advanced by a distance of 1/3 from the start is displayed on the effect display device 124 to notify the player that any one of the symbols is matched. For this reason, the player must consider the remaining two symbols out of the symbols that are stopped and displayed, and then guess the remaining two symbols before starting the next game. Is possible.

  FIG. 20C is an explanatory diagram showing an effect when only two corresponding symbols match when the symbol displayed in a stopped state and the symbol of internal winning are compared. As described above, since it is composed of the three drums 13, when comparing the symbol displayed in a stopped state with the symbol of the internal winning combination, if only two corresponding symbols match, By displaying on the effect display device 124 an effect that has been advanced by a distance of 2/3 from the position where the game was started, the player is informed that any two symbols match. For this reason, the player can guess the remaining one of the symbols that are stopped and displayed and match the symbol of the internal winning, and then start the next game. It becomes possible.

  FIG. 20D is an explanatory diagram showing an effect when all the corresponding symbols match when the symbol displayed in a stopped state is compared with the symbol of internal winning. When all the corresponding symbols match, the effect that the car has achieved is displayed on the effect display device 124 to notify the player that all the symbols match. Further, game medals are paid out to the player according to the winning mode.

  As described above, the position where the car is arranged between the start and the goal is changed according to the number of symbols that match when the symbol displayed in a stopped state and the symbol of internal winning are compared. Of course, for example, even if two symbols displayed in a stopped state match the symbol of the internal winning, but only one symbol matches in the next game, the effect shown in FIG. The effect switched to the effect shown in FIG. 20B is displayed on the effect display device 124. Therefore, based on the position of the car displayed on the effect display device 124, a new game can be given to the player by guessing the internal winning symbol and moving the car forward from the start to the goal.

  FIG. 21 is an explanatory diagram showing a game result when a game is played while guessing the internal winning symbol of the BB combination or the RB combination. As shown in FIG. 21, the first game is a case where the internal lottery is a loss, so that the effect on the effect display device 124 is not performed. Since the player does not recognize that the BB combination or the RB combination is won internally, the player operates the stop button 43 without aiming at the symbol to be stopped (without pressing the so-called eye). As a result, for example, “tin-tin-replay” is displayed on the display window 5 as a missed eye.

  In the second game, as a result of the internal lottery, the BB role of “3-3-7” was internally won, so immediately after the internal winning, the car shown in FIG. The effect that is positioned at the start is displayed on the effect display device 124. When the effect display is started, the player recognizes that the BB combination or the RB combination is won internally. Here, in the “production” column shown in FIG. 21, the continuous production (1/4) indicates the first of four consecutive productions, and the number of continuous productions is determined by lottery. is doing. Therefore, how many times the continuous performance is performed depends on the lottery result at that time. Then, it is assumed that the player has won the BB role of “7-7-7” out of the BB role or the RB role, and operates the stop button 43 aiming at “7-7-7”. To do. However, the stop-displayed symbol was “Replaces-Tin”, which was a losing eye. Although the stop button 43 was operated aiming at the BB role of “7-7-7” in this way, the stop symbol was lost, so the player won the symbol “7-7-7” for internal winning. I guess it's not a BB role.

  The third game is a game that carries over the BB role of “3-3-7” won internally in the previous second game. In the previous second game, when the symbol “Replays-Tin” stopped and displayed was compared with the symbol “3-3-7” of the internal winning, since the symbols of any of the rotating cylinders 13 did not match, 2/4), the effect in which the car shown in FIG. 20A is positioned at the start is continuously displayed on the effect display device 124. Then, the player operates the stop button 43 with the aim of “7-3-6”, assuming that the BB role of “7-3-6” is internally won among the BB role or the RB role. To do. However, the stop-displayed symbol was “Plum-3-Replay”, which was a losing eye. Therefore, since the player was not stopped and displayed with the target symbol, the player is assumed that the symbol of the internal winning is not the BB role of “7-3-6”.

  Similarly to the third game described above, the fourth game is a game that carries over “3-3-7”, which was won internally in the second game the last time. In the previous third game, when the symbol “Plum-3-Replay” stopped and displayed is compared with the symbol “3-3-7” of internal winning, the second cylinder 13C matches “3”. As a continuous effect (3/4), an effect in which the car shown in FIG. 20B has advanced by 1/3 from the start is displayed on the effect display device 124. For this reason, the player confirms that the symbol “3” of the second torso 13C of the symbol “Plum-3-Replay” stopped and displayed in the previous third game matches the symbol of the internal winning. You will know. As a result, the player plays the fourth game while estimating the symbols of the first cylinder 13L and the symbols of the third cylinder 13R, excluding the symbol “3” of the second cylinder 13C. Then, the player loses the BB role of “7-7-7” in the second game, and loses the RB role of “7-3-6” in the third game. Alternatively, it is assumed that among the RB combination, the BB combination of “3-3-3” is internally won, and the stop button 43 is operated aiming at “3-3-3”. However, the stop-displayed symbol was “3-3-plum” and was a reach. Here, in the present embodiment, the reach is the same symbol (“3”, “6”, ““, which constitutes the BB role or the RB role as the symbol of the first cylinder 13L and the symbol of the second cylinder 13C. 7 ") is stopped and" Plum "is stopped and displayed as a symbol of the third cylinder 13R. Therefore, since the player has not been stopped and displayed with the target symbol, it is assumed that the symbol of the internal winning is not the BB combination of “3-3-3”.

  The fifth game, like the third game and the fourth game described above, is a game that carries over “3-3-7” that was won internally in the second game described above. In the previous fourth game, when the symbol “3-3-3-Plum” stopped and displayed is compared with the symbol “3-3-7” of internal winning, the first cylinder 13L and the second cylinder 13C are “3”. Therefore, the effect display device 124 displays an effect in which the car shown in FIG. 20C is advanced by 2/3 from the start as a continuous effect (4/4). For this reason, among the symbols “3-3-3-plum” that were stopped and displayed in the previous fourth game, the player has the symbol “3” of the first cylinder 13L and the symbol “3” of the second cylinder 13C. You will know that it matches the internal winning symbol. As a result, the player plays this fifth game while guessing the symbols of the third cylinder 13R, excluding the symbols “3” of the first cylinder 13L and the symbols “3” of the second cylinder 13C. It becomes. The player displays an effect in which the BB role of “3-3-3” is lost in the above-described fourth game and the car shown in FIG. 20 (c) is advanced by 2/3 from the start. Since it is displayed in 124, when it is assumed that the BB role of “3-3-7” has been won internally, and the stop button 43 is operated aiming at “3-3-7”, the stop is displayed. The symbol becomes “3-3-7”, a winning is established, and a game medal is paid out to the player. At this time, the effect that the car shown in FIG. 20D described above has achieved is displayed on the effect display device 124.

  In this way, depending on where the car displayed on the effect display device 124 is between the start and the goal, the relationship between the symbol displayed in a stopped state and the symbol of the internal winning symbol is used as a hint to inform the player. providing. Therefore, based on this hint, the player will continue the game aiming for the internal winning symbol, and the internal winning symbol will be gradually narrowed, so the player will guess the internal winning symbol. It is possible to give the player a new gameability.

  In the above-described embodiment, the rotating cylinder 13 is composed of the three rotating cylinders 13L, 13C, and 13R. Therefore, when the symbol displayed in a stopped state is compared with the symbol of the internal winning combination, the corresponding symbol is According to the number of matches, the effect display device 124 is configured to display an effect in which the car is arranged from the start to the goal. However, instead of this, even if the corresponding symbols do not match When the symbol of the internal winning is included in the symbols that are stopped and displayed, the effect display device 124 displays the effect of arranging the car from the start to the goal according to the number included. It may be configured. Specifically, in the case where the winning combination is “7-3-6” BB, and the symbol stopped and displayed on the display window 5 is “Suzu 7-Plum”, the corresponding symbols match. Although there is no internal winning symbol “7-3-6”, because “7” is included in the stopped display symbol, the car shown in FIG. 20B is only 1/3 from the start. The advanced effect may be displayed on the effect display device 124. By doing so, it becomes difficult to guess the symbol that is won internally, so that the player's joy when the guess is correct increases, and the player's interest can be further enhanced.

  By performing a continuous production in this way, it is possible for the player to guess the symbol of the internal winning, so the symbol that is stopped and displayed in the middle of the continuous performance becomes the symbol of the internal winning and the winning may be established possible. FIG. 22 is an explanatory diagram showing a game result when a symbol that is stopped and displayed in the middle of a continuous performance becomes an internal winning symbol and a winning is achieved.

  As shown in FIG. 22, in the first game, as a result of the internal lottery, the winning combination BB of “3-3-3” is internally won. The effect that the car shown in 20 (a) is located at the start is displayed on the effect display device 124. Then, the player presumes that the BB combination “7-7-7” has been won internally, and operates the stop button 43 aiming at “7-7-7”. However, since the symbol that is stopped and displayed is “Suzusuzu-replay” and it is a losing eye, the player presumes that the symbol of the internal winning is not the BB combination of “7-7-7”.

  The second game is a game that carries over “3-3-3” that was won internally in the previous first game. In the previous first game, when the symbol “Stouseds-Replay” stopped and displayed was compared with the symbol “3-3-3” of internal winning, the design of any of the rotating cylinders 13 did not match, 2/4), the effect in which the car shown in FIG. 20A is positioned at the start is continuously displayed on the effect display device 124. For this reason, it is estimated that the player has won the BB combination or RB combination other than “7-7-7”. Therefore, the player presumes that the BB combination of “6-6-6” has been won internally, and operates the stop button 43 aiming at “6-6-6”. However, since the symbol that is stopped and displayed is “Replaces-Tin” and it is a losing eye, the player estimates that the symbol of the internal winning is not the BB combination of “6-6-6”.

  The third game is a game that carries over “3-3-3”, which was won internally in the first game the last time. In the previous second game, when the symbol “Replaces-Tin” stopped and displayed was compared with the symbol “3-3-3” of internal winning, the design of any of the rotating cylinders 13 did not match, As 3/4), the effect that the car shown in FIG. 20A is located at the start is continuously displayed on the effect display device 124. For this reason, the player loses the BB role of “7-7-7” aimed at the first game the previous time, and also loses the BB role of “6-6-6” aimed at the previous second game. Therefore, it is presumed that the BB combination or RB combination other than these is internally won. Therefore, if the player presumes that the BB role of “3-3-3” has been won internally, and operates the stop button 43 aiming at “3-3-3”, the symbol that is stopped and displayed is “ 3-3-3 ", a winning is established, and a game medal is paid out to the player. At this time, the effect that the car shown in FIG. 20D described above has achieved is displayed on the effect display device 124.

  In this way, when the player guesses in the middle of the continuous performance and the winning is established, the continuous performance is interrupted halfway without performing the continuous performance until the end. For this reason, the continuous effect (4/4) is not executed, and after the continuous effect (3/4) is executed, the winning is established, so that the effect indicating that effect is executed. Become. The effect display device 124 of this embodiment constitutes one aspect of the “carry-over notification means” of the present invention.

D. Second embodiment:
The second embodiment has the same configuration as the first embodiment described above, and the effect on the effect display device 124 is different. That is, in the second embodiment, an effect of notifying the symbol of the internal winning is performed according to the number of times the internal winning is carried over.
D-1. Notification process of the second embodiment:
FIG. 23 is a flowchart showing the notification process performed in the gaming machine 1 of the second embodiment. In this notification process, first, the CPU 111 of the main control board 101 determines whether or not the BB combination or the RB combination is being won internally (S1110). When the internal winning is not performed (S1110: NO), the process waits until the internal winning is achieved. For example, when the internal winning combination is “3-3-7” BB role (S1110: YES), the fact is notified (S1120). FIG. 24 is an explanatory diagram showing an effect of notifying the internal winning symbol in accordance with the number of times the internal winning has been carried over. Specifically, the effect display device 124 displays an effect in which the car shown in FIG. By this effect display, the player knows that the BB combination or the RB combination is won internally. Therefore, the player enters the game while guessing the symbol that is internally won for the BB combination or the RB combination.

  The CPU 111 of the main control board 101 determines whether or not the internal winning is carried over for the first time (S1130). When the carry-over is the first time (S1130: YES), the main control board 101 notifies the contents of the winning result of the second cylinder 13C (S1140). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 24 (b), the effect display device 124 displays an effect in which the car with the car number “3” advances by 1/3 from the start. On the other hand, when the carryover is not the first time (S1130: NO), the CPU 111 of the main control board 101 determines whether or not the carryover is the second time (S1150).

  If the carry-over is the second time (S1150: YES), the CPU 111 of the main control board 101 notifies the contents of the winning results of the first cylinder 13L and the second cylinder 13C (S1160). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 24 (c), the effect display device 124 displays an effect in which the car with the car number “3” and the front tire with “3” advanced by 2/3 from the start. . At this time, not only simply notifying the design of the first cylinder 13L but also displaying “3” of the front wheel tire as the vehicle advances, it becomes difficult for the player to read the design. If the winning hints can be correctly read and a winning can be established, the player's interest can be further enhanced. By this effect display, the player knows that the first winning cylinder 13L and the second winning cylinder 13C of internal winning are “3”, respectively. Therefore, the player enters the game while estimating the design of the third trunk 13R. On the other hand, when the carryover is not the second time (S1150: NO), the CPU 111 of the main control board 101 determines whether or not the carryover is the third time or more (S1170).

  When the carryover is the third or more times (S1170: YES), the CPU 111 of the main control board 101 notifies the contents of all the winning results (S1180). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 24 (d), the effect that the car having the car number “3”, the front tire “3” and the rear tire “7” has scored is displayed on the effect display device 124. Is done. At this time, as described above, if the front wheel tire “3” and the rear wheel tire “7” are rotated and displayed as the vehicle moves forward, it becomes difficult for the player to read the symbols, so that the symbols are rotated and displayed. If it is possible to correctly read the hint pattern and establish a prize, the player's interest can be further enhanced. By this effect display, the player knows that the symbol of the internal winning is the BB combination of “3-3-7”. Therefore, the player operates the stop button 43 aiming at “3-3-7”. On the other hand, when the carryover is not the third or more times (S1170: NO), the CPU 111 of the main control board 101 returns to S1110 and determines whether or not the internal winning is being performed (S1110).

  The CPU 111 of the main control board 101 determines whether or not a prize has been established in the game after notifying a part (S1140, S1160) or all (S1180) of the above-described winning results on the effect display device 124. (S1190). If a winning is established (S1190: YES), a game medal is paid out to the player. Also, as shown in FIG. 24D, the effect display device 124 displays the effect that the car with the car number “3”, the front tire “3”, and the rear tire “7” scored. At this time, if the front tire “3” and the rear tire “7” are rotated as the vehicle advances, the front tire “3” and the rear tire “7” are rotated. In this case, “3” for the front wheel tire and “7” for the rear wheel tire are properly displayed for easy reading. On the other hand, if no winning has been established (S1190: NO), the CPU 111 of the main control board 101 returns to S1110 and determines whether or not the internal winning is being performed (S1110).

  In this way, since the effect of notifying the symbol of the internal winning is performed according to the number of times the internal winning is carried over, even if there are many symbols corresponding to the BB role or the RB role, the symbol displayed on the effect display device 124 The remaining symbols can be inferred using as a hint. Therefore, even a player who does not remember all the symbols corresponding to the BB role or the RB role will not lose the interest of the game. In addition, when the number of carry-overs reaches the third or more, since the contents of all winning results are notified to the effect display device 124, a novice player who does not know the symbol corresponding to the BB role or the RB role at all Even so, it can stimulate the fun of gaming.

  In the second embodiment, the design of the first cylinder 13L and the design of the third cylinder 13R are attached to the front tire and the rear tire, respectively, and both tires are rotated and displayed as the vehicle advances. If the predetermined condition is satisfied, the rotation may be performed at a high speed or at a low speed. Here, the predetermined condition includes, for example, rotating at a high speed when the BB combination is won internally, and rotating at a low speed when the RB combination is won internally. If it carries out like this, it can be notified by the rotation speed of a tire which of the BB combination or the RB combination is won internally, and the fun of the game can be greatly improved.

  In addition, in the second embodiment, the design of the first cylinder 13L and the design of the third cylinder 13R are attached to the front tire and the rear tire, respectively, and both tires are rotated and displayed as the vehicle advances. In this case, the tire rotation speed may be gradually changed from the high speed rotation to the low speed rotation according to the number of carryovers. In this way, when the number of carryovers is small, the tires are rotating at high speed, so the symbols attached to the tires cannot be read. However, if the number of carryovers increases, the rotation speed of the tires gradually decreases. Therefore, the symbols attached to the tires can be read. For this reason, it is possible to ensure a sufficient time until all symbols are notified, so that various effects can be performed.

  Moreover, in this 2nd Example, although it was the structure alert | reported in order of the 2nd drum 13C, the 1st drum 13L, and the 3rd drum 13R, what order is the order of the cylinder 13 to alert | report. It may be. Furthermore, it is good also as changing the order of the rotating cylinder 13 to alert | report every time an internal winning is carried out. In this way, since the notification order is different every time an internal winning is made, the notification method does not become monotonous, and the player 13 has to guess (the first cylinder 13L, the second cylinder). Since the positions of the trunk 13C and the third trunk 13R) are changed, the interest of the game can be further enhanced.
