Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a game machine which can raise interests in games by closely setting the lottery probability of winning combinations. <P>SOLUTION: The lottery data shown in Fig.5 indicates a range of random number values in the winning and loss of the individual winning combinations with respect to all of the random number values (0-65535). For example, when the random number value extracted with a random number generator 311 is 251, it covers the BB (big bonus) winning range and so, a performance data corresponding to the BB winning is selected. Likewise, when the random number value is 1001, it covers the range of BB loss and so, the performance data corresponding to the BB loss is selected. In this manner, the lottery data are prepared fully covering the winning and loss ranges per winning combination to achieve flexibility depending on the control of the performance and reels. Loss occurs in any of winning combinations, thereby enabling the control of the performance and reels to match the winning combinations thus lost. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT

Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine represented by a slot machine (pachislot) and a pachinko machine.

  Conventionally, a gaming machine such as a slot machine or a pachinko machine is controlled so that a winning result is determined by an internal lottery performed inside the gaming machine and a game result corresponding to the lottery result is obtained.

  The internal lottery is determined for each numerical value (random number) extracted at a predetermined lottery timing determined during the game from a predetermined range of numerical values, and for each winning combination stored in the game table. It is determined whether or not any winning combination is won by comparing with the range of numerical values obtained (see, for example, Patent Document 1). And the display result of the variable display device comprised by a reel, a display device, etc. is controlled so that the lottery result determined by the internal lottery matches the game result.

Such a game stand has a poor change in expectation for winning because the range of numerical values determined for each winning combination is always constant. Therefore, a gaming table has been proposed that changes the lottery probability of a winning combination in order to change the expectation of the winning combination during a game (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

JP 59-186580 A JP-A-6-335560

  However, in the above-described prior art, a gaming machine that changes the winning probability of a winning combination does not change the probability of the other winning combinations even if the probability of one winning combination is changed, and is exclusively outside the winning range of the winning combination. The probability was changed only by using the outlier region. For this reason, the gameability is poor, and for example, when winning a winning combination such as a small role or replaying, there was no expectation of winning other winning combinations. In addition, “out of game”, which occupies most of the normal games, is only performed with “out of line” production, and it is merely an existence that causes a decrease in game motivation.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a game table that can add interest to a game by finely setting a lottery probability of a winning combination.

  In order to achieve the above object, a game machine according to the present invention is configured as follows.

  The game table according to the present invention has, as one aspect thereof, storage means for storing lottery data that defines the winning and unwinning ranges of the winning combination for each of a plurality of predetermined winning combinations, A determination means for comparing the value of the random number extracted together with the winning and un-winning ranges of each winning combination in the lottery data stored in the storage means, It has a basic configuration to have game control means for controlling the progress of the game so as to obtain a game result according to the determination result.

  According to the present invention, by using lottery data that defines the range of winning and losing for each winning combination, it is possible to clarify the winning and losing of each winning combination in the game by performing an internal lottery of the winning combination. . For this reason, even if the result of the internal lottery is out of date, it is possible to notify the player of which winning combination was out of play, and it is possible to proceed with the game reflecting the lottery result. Because it is possible, it is possible to proceed with a variety of games with great expectations, and to make the game interesting.

  As an example, the range of unsuccessful winning in each winning combination of the lottery data is set at a predetermined ratio with respect to the winning range of the winning combination.

  Thereby, for example, it is possible to increase or decrease the range of winning combinations such as BB and RB. Thus, if an outlier area in the same range as the winning combination is set, the winning combination is not an internal winning, but it will be a serious disappointment. Therefore, a highly reliable game progress can be performed for the internal lottery result. .

  As another aspect, the gaming machine according to the present invention is configured such that at least a part of the winning range of one winning combination of a plurality of predetermined winning combinations overlaps with the winning range of another winning combination. The storage means for storing the determined lottery data, the value of the random number extracted at the start of the game, and the winning range of each winning combination of the lottery data stored in the storage means are compared, for each winning combination The basic configuration includes determination means for determining whether or not the game is successful, and game control means for controlling the progress of the game so that a game result corresponding to the determination result of the determination means is obtained.

  According to the present invention, since the winning range of one winning combination overlaps with the winning range of other winning combinations, it is possible to win a plurality of winning combinations in one lottery. As a result, there is a possibility that the winning combination other than the winning combination won as a result of the game can be won internally, so that the game can be interesting.

  As an example, the lottery data expands a winning range of at least one winning combination of the plurality of types of winning combinations by satisfying a predetermined condition, and overlaps with the winning ranges of other winning combinations. It is characterized by being set.

  In this way, if the predetermined conditions are met, the winning range of one winning combination overlaps with the winning range of the other winning combinations. It is possible to set a case to do and to tackle the game with expectation.

  Further, as an example, the storage means has priority data indicating which winning combination is to be won when winning a plurality of winning combinations, and when the determining means has won a plurality of winning combinations, With reference to the priority data, the winning of any one winning combination is determined.

  As described above, since winning of the winning combination is determined with reference to the priority order data, it is possible to realize game characteristics reflecting the intention of the game maker even if the winning combination is repeated.

  In this case, preferably, the determination means wins a plurality of winning combinations including a specific winning combination, and when the specific winning combination does not become one winning combination determined by winning, The winning result of the specific winning combination is retained after the next game.

  As a result, a specific winning combination can be won after the next game, and the player can play the game with interest.

  In addition, as an example, the game control unit includes an effect unit that performs an effect according to the progress of the game, and controls the effect unit in an effect mode according to a determination result of the determination unit.

  In this way, since it is possible to perform the performance according to the lottery result of the winning combination, not only the internal winning for each winning combination, but also the option of directing the internal winning for each winning combination can be newly provided. Since it is possible, more various productions are possible, and it can have an interest in games.

  Further, as an example, the game control means has a game result display means for displaying a game result, and controls the game result display means to display a game result according to the determination result of the determination means. Features.

  In this way, since it is possible to display the game result according to the lottery result of the winning combination, it is possible to inform the player of which winning combination the internal winning is based on the display result, so various game results Can be displayed, so that the game can be interesting.

  According to the gaming machine of the present invention, it is possible to provide a gaming machine that can add interest to the game by finely setting the winning lottery probability.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

When the reels 110 to 112 are viewed from the front, three patterns applied to the reels 110 to 112 are visible from the reel display window 113 in the vertical direction. That is, when all the reels 110 to 112 are stopped, the player can see a total of nine patterns of 3 × 3. As these reels 110 to 112 rotate and stop, various combinations of patterns are displayed. In the present embodiment, three reels are provided, but the number of reels and the installation position of the reels are not limited to this.

  On the back side of each of the reels 110 to 112, a backlight (not shown) for illuminating each picture displayed on the reel display window 113 is disposed. The backlight is capable of emitting light of, for example, seven colors (three primary colors of red, green, and bluish purple and a mixed color such as white) and includes an LED corresponding to each primary color. Is done.

  The winning line display lamp 120 is a lamp indicating a winning line 114 that is valid for each game. The effective winning line 114 changes depending on the number of game media (in this embodiment, medals are assumed) inserted into the slot machine 100. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, in the case of having five winning lines 114, when one medal is inserted, the middle horizontal winning line, when two medals are inserted, the upper horizontal winning line and the lower horizontal winning line are shown. When 3 sheets are added, 3 lines are added, and 5 lines including 2 diagonal lines are valid, and the winning combination is judged by the combination of the patterns on the effective line 114. It becomes. Of course, the number of winning lines is not limited to five.

  The start lamp 121 is a lamp that informs the player that the reels 110 to 112 are in a state of being able to rotate. When the replay lamp 122 wins a replay that is a winning combination (for example, when a combination of JAC-JAC-JAC replay pictures is aligned on the winning line 114), the next game is replayed to the player. It is a lamp that informs that it is. In the case of a re-game, the medal that is a game medium is exempted in the next game. The notification lamp 123 is a lamp for notifying the player that a special winning combination (for example, a big bonus (BB) or a regular bonus (RB)) has been won internally. The medal insertion lamp 124 is a lamp for notifying the player that it is necessary to insert a medal at the start of the game. The medal insertion number display lamp 125 is a lamp for displaying the number of medals inserted by the player. In the present embodiment, since up to three medals can be inserted in one game, the number of medals inserted is displayed using three vertically arranged lamps.

As shown in the figure, each reel 110 to 112 has a plurality of types of patterns arranged in a predetermined number of frames (21 frames in this case). The picture display window 113 displays 3 frames out of 21 frames.

  The numbers 0 to 20 shown at the left end of FIG. 3 are numbers indicating the positions of the symbols on the reel, that is, the positions of the symbols on the reel. There is a one-to-one correspondence between this number and the picture. For example, a bell picture, a bell picture, and a JAC picture are respectively arranged on the frames 0 to 2 of the left reel 110. In the frames numbered 0 to 2 of 111, a bell pattern, a bell pattern, and a JAC pattern are arranged, respectively, and in the frames numbered 0 to 2 of the right reel 112, a bell pattern, a bell pattern, and a BAR pattern are arranged. Are arranged.

  Therefore, when stopping the rotating reels 110 to 112 so that the pattern on the winning line 114 is displayed, for example, the reels are rotated with the index passing position provided on each reel described above as the origin position. By counting the number of drive pulses of the stepping motor to be started and determining that the pattern has passed when counting the number of drive pulses corresponding to the interval of the reference position set as the stop position of each pattern, The pattern arrangement position of each of the rotating reels 110 to 112 passing through the reference position is checked. Then, the reels 110 to 112 are stopped so that a target picture is displayed on the winning line 114 according to the check result.

<Winner>
FIG. 4 shows an example of the types of winning combinations that can be adopted in the slot machine 100, the corresponding picture combinations, and the number of medals to be paid out. The winning combination of the slot machine 100 is set as a winning combination for internal lottery according to the gaming state. Three game states, a normal game, a special game, and an accessory game, are set as the game state, and a winning combination and an internal lottery probability for internal lottery are set in each game state.

  As shown in FIG. 4A, special winning combinations BB and RB, small combinations 1 to 4, and replay are set as the winning combination during the normal game. During the special game, as shown in FIG. 4B, small roles 1 to 4 and an accessory game are set. During an accessory game, as shown in FIG. 4C, the actors 1 and 2 are set.

(1) Winner in normal games [BB (Big Bonus)]
When a combination of “Red 7-Red 7-Red 7” pattern is arranged on any of the winning lines 114 of the reel display window 113, 15 medals are paid out and a prize is awarded to BB. When winning the BB, the special game shown in FIG. 4B is started, and the special game winning combination is applied for a predetermined number of games (30 games in the present embodiment) from the next game. In this special game state, the player can win a large number of medals.

  In addition, during the special game, when a prize is won in the game, the game shown in FIG. 4C is started from the next game. When the bonus game is digested a predetermined number of times, the bonus game ends and the game returns to the special game again. The special game ending condition ends when 30 games of special games are finished or when two sets of the feature games are finished by winning the prize game twice.

[RB (Regular Bonus)]
When the symbol combination “BAR-BAR-BAR” is arranged on any of the winning lines 114 of the reel display window 113, 15 medals are paid out and the next game is shown in FIG. 4C. An accessory game is started. The prize game is a prize winning combination (“JAC-JAC-JAC” or “Cherry-ANY-ANY”) called a bonus 1 or 2 for a predetermined number of games (12 games in this embodiment). (A combination of any of these) is a game with a high probability of winning. In the present embodiment, the accessory game is ended when the player wins the accessory eight times during 12 games.

[Sports 1 to 4]
Small part 1 (Watermelon-Watermelon-Watermelon), Small part 2 (Bell-Bell-Bell), Small part 3 (Cherry-ANY-ANY pattern combination, stopping at either the upper or lower stage of the left reel 110) , When the small role 4 (the cherry-ANY-ANY pattern combination and stopped at the middle stage of the left reel 110) is aligned on the winning line 114 of the reel display window 113, the corresponding payout medal is paid out, The next game will be a normal game.

[Replay]
When “JAC-JAC-JAC” is aligned on the winning line 114 of the reel display window 113, a re-game is won and the next game can be performed without inserting medals.

(2) Prize winning role in special games [community game]
When “JAC-JAC-JAC” is aligned on the winning line 114 of the reel display window 113, the game of the accessory is started from the next game. This bonus game is the same as the bonus game started after winning the RB.

[Sports 1 to 4]
This is the same as the small winning combinations 1 to 4 in the normal game.

(3) Prize winning role in an accessory game [Actor 1], [Actor 2]
If any combination of “JAC-JAC-JAC” (Ring 1) or “Cherry-ANY-ANY” (Ring 2) is available on any of the winning lines 114 of the reel display window 113, a dividend of 15 Medals will be paid out.

  The internal winning probability of each winning combination is set for each game state (normal game, special game, and bonus game), and there are a plurality of types from setting 1 to setting 6. In the normal game, the setting 6 has the highest internal winning probability of BB / RB, and the internal winning probability decreases toward the setting 1 below. That is, setting 6 is most advantageous for the player.

<First Embodiment>
Next, a first embodiment of the slot machine 100 will be described. The slot machine 100 according to the first embodiment is characterized by the lottery data used for the internal lottery of the winning combination described above, and the lottery data has a range of winning and losing for each winning combination.

  FIG. 5 is an example of lottery data (lottery data in a normal gaming state with a predetermined set value) in the first embodiment. Here, FIG. 5 shows the random value width of winning and losing for each winning combination with respect to all random values (0 to 65535). For example, the winning probability of BB winning is 254/65536, and BB is shifted. The probability of is 6777/65536. More specifically, for example, when the random number value extracted from the random number generator 311 is 251, since it corresponds to the range of BB winning, the production data corresponding to the BB winning is selected. . Further, for example, when the random number value extracted from the random number generator 311 is 1001, since BB falls within the range of deviation, presentation data corresponding to the deviation of BB is selected.

  Thus, in this embodiment, since lottery data having a range of winning and losing is adopted for each winning combination, it is possible to give flexibility by directing and reel control. It can be interesting. That is, in the conventional lottery data, as shown in FIG. 20, since the winning range of the winning combination is uniformly set as a shift area, when it is lost, all production and reel control must be performed uniformly. However, in the present embodiment, even if it is lost, any winning combination is lost, so that it is possible to perform effects and reel control according to the lost winning combination. As a result, for example, the player can enjoy a variety of effects more than ever, and it is possible to guess which winning combination has deviated from the tendency of the performed effects. Can have fun.

  In addition, in FIG. 5, although the example which performs production control according to the winning and winning of each winning combination (specifically, in the case of BB winning and BB losing) is shown, in addition to this, also in reel control In addition, stop control corresponding to winning and winning of each winning combination may be performed.

  Hereinafter, the operation of the slot machine 100 having the above-described features will be described.

<Basic control of games>
FIG. 6 is a flowchart of the game execution process showing the basic control of the game in the slot machine 100 of the present embodiment. Basic control of the game is performed mainly by the Main CPU 310 of the main control unit 300, and the game process shown in FIG.

  In step ST100, a medal acceptance process is performed. In the medal acceptance process, whether or not a medal is inserted into the medal insertion slot 133 is determined based on a detection signal from the medal sensor 321. When the insertion of medals is detected, the winning line display lamp 120 on the left side of the reel display window 113 is lit / flashed corresponding to the number of medals inserted. Note that when a medal is electronically stored and stored in the slot machine 100, the medal can be inserted by pressing one of the medal insertion buttons 131 and 132. The maximum number of cards that can be thrown in a single game is three.

  In addition, the main control unit 300 transmits a medal insertion command to the sub control unit 400 so that the sub control unit 400 recognizes the medal insertion. The sub-control unit 400 performs an effect for generating a medal insertion sound based on the medal insertion command.

  In step ST200, whether or not the start lever 135 is operated by the player is determined based on a detection signal from the start lever sensor 322. If the operation of the start lever 135 is not detected, the operation waits until the start lever 135 is operated. When the operation of the start lever 135 is detected by the start lever sensor 322, the main control unit 300 transmits a start lever reception command to the sub control unit 400. When the sub-control unit 400 is on standby based on the start lever reception command, the sub-control unit 400 performs an effect of generating a weight sound or the like.

  When the start lever 135 is operated, the process proceeds to step ST300, where the Main CPU acquires a random number from the random number generator 311 and performs random lottery based on the acquired random number. Here, the internal lottery of each winning combination is mainly performed. The result of the internal lottery is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 313 and is referred to during the game. For example, the RAM 313 records the internal lottery result of each winning combination including a shift. The details of the internal lottery process in step ST300 will be described later.

  In step ST400, stop position data is prepared. Here, the preparation of the stop position data is to select stop position data used for the reel stop control from the stop position data set according to the result of the internal lottery in step ST300. The reel stop preparation process in step ST400 will be described in detail later.

  In step ST500, an effect using an effect lamp, an effect display device 180, a reel backlight, and the like is determined by lottery based on an internal winning result, a gaming state, and the like. Further, the main control unit 300 transmits an effect command to the sub-control unit 400 based on the determined effect. The sub-control unit 400 selects an effect content from the effect selection table based on the transmitted effect command, and prepares to execute the effect in each control unit. The effect lottery process in step ST500 will be described later in detail.

  In step ST600, all reels 110 to 112 are rotated simultaneously or randomly. In addition, the main control unit 300 transmits a reel rotation start command to the sub-control unit 400 so that the sub-control unit 400 recognizes the start of rotation of all reels. The sub-control unit 400 starts an effect at each control unit based on the reel rotation start command. After that, when a predetermined time has elapsed and all the reels have been rotated at a constant speed, the process proceeds to step ST700, where the player starts accepting a stop button operation.

  In step ST700, it is detected by the stop button sensor 323 operated by the player, and when detected, the operation of the stop button is detected in accordance with the stop operation sequence according to the stop operation sequence, the second stop operation command, the third stop. An operation command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 400 so that the sub-control unit 400 recognizes which stop button has been operated. The stop button reception process in step ST700 will be described later in detail.

  In step ST800, the main control unit 300 performs stop control on the reel on which the stop operation has been performed based on the picture position where the stop button is operated and the stop position data. However, if no stop button operation by the player is detected after a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds), all reels 110 to 112 are automatically stopped. In addition, the main control unit 300 transmits a stop position information command to the sub-control unit 400 so that the sub-control unit 400 recognizes the reel stop position.

  In step ST900, it is determined that all reels have stopped. When all reels are stopped, the process proceeds to step ST1000, and a combination of winning pictures corresponding to the winning combination internally won in the random number lottery of step ST300 is prepared on the activated winning line 114 on the reel display window 113. It is determined whether or not it is stopped. Further, the main control unit 300 transmits a winning determination result command corresponding to the determination result to the sub-control unit 400 after the winning determination, and causes the sub-control unit 400 to recognize the winning situation. The winning determination result command includes, for example, commands such as BB, an accessory, a small part, a replay, and a loss depending on the winning combination of winning pictures.

  After the winning determination, the process proceeds to step ST1100, where a predetermined number of payouts corresponding to the winning winning combination is set in the work area of the RAM 313, and a predetermined number of medals based on the data of the work area are received from the medal discharge port 165. Processing to pay out to 160 is performed. If the winning determination result is no winning, the payout number 0 is set in the work area of the RAM 313. Therefore, medals are not paid out.

  In step ST1200, winning effects such as displaying the number of payouts on the payout number display unit 126 and displaying additions on the stored number display unit 128 are performed as winning effects of the main control unit 300.

  In step ST1300, a gaming state control process is performed. This is a process of changing the gaming state based on the internal lottery result in step ST300 and the winning determination result in step ST1000. For example, in the case of a bonus winning such as BB or RB, preparations are made so that the corresponding special game or bonus game can be started from the next time, and in those final games, preparation is made so that the normal game can be started from the next time. In addition, the main control unit 300 transmits a gaming state command to the sub-control unit 400 so that the sub-control unit 400 recognizes the gaming state. As described above, one game is completed, and the game progresses by repeating this thereafter.

<Internal lottery processing>
FIG. 7 is a flowchart for explaining in detail the internal lottery process shown in step ST300 of FIG.

  In step ST305, a random number used for the lottery is acquired from the random number generator 311. In step ST310, a lottery data table corresponding to the current gaming state and the set value (for example, more specifically, the lottery data table shown in FIG. 5). ta5) is acquired. Here, the lottery data table stores different types of lottery data depending on the game state type and the set value.

  Next, based on the acquired lottery data table, the lottery processing of steps ST315 to ST350 is repeated for the number of lottery winning combinations (for example, in the lottery data table ta5 in FIG. 5, the winning combination is BB, RB, small combination 1 to 4. Since there are 7 replays, process 7 times). That is, in this embodiment, a lottery process is performed for each winning combination.

  In step ST315, a winning combination is set from a plurality of winning combinations, and the winning range of the winning combination is acquired. For example, specifically, when BB shown in FIG. 5 is set as a winning combination, 0 is a winning start value of BB and 253 is a winning end value of BB.

  In step ST320, whether or not the acquired random number value is included in the set winning range of the winning combination, that is, whether or not the winning start value of the winning combination ≦ the random number ≦ the winning end value of the winning combination is determined. judge.

  When the acquired random number value is included in the winning range of the set winning combination, the process proceeds to step ST325, and the result is stored in the internal lottery result storage area m10 in the RAM 313. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, “1” (meaning winning) is set in the winning storage area corresponding to the set winning combination. In the internal lottery result storage area m10, the game clear area (area surrounded by a solid line) is cleared (set to “0”) for each game. The clear area at the time of winning determination (area surrounded by a dotted line) is cleared when winning the winning combination. In other words, when BB and RB are won internally, the internal winning results can be carried over to the next game without winning the game.

  On the other hand, when the acquired random number value is not included in the winning range of the set winning combination, the process proceeds to step ST330, and “0” is set in the winning storage area corresponding to the set winning combination. Next, in step ST335, the set winning-off range is acquired. For example, specifically, when the BB shown in FIG. 5 is set as a winning combination, the BB miss start value 254 and the BB win miss end value 7030 are acquired.

  In step ST340, it is determined whether or not the obtained random number value is included in the set winning combination deviation range, that is, whether or not the winning combination deviation start value ≦ the random number value ≦ the winning combination deviation end value. judge.

  When the acquired random number value is included in the set winning game outlier range, the process proceeds to step ST345, and the result is stored in the internal lottery result storage area m10 in the RAM 313. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, “1” (winning for loss) is set in the loss storage area corresponding to the set winning combination. On the other hand, when the acquired random number value is not included in the set winning combination outlier range, the process proceeds to step ST350, and “0” is set in the outset storage area corresponding to the set winning combination.

  Then, the above lottery process is performed for all winning combinations, and the process is terminated.

<Reel stop preparation process>
FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating in detail the reel stop preparation process shown in step ST400 of FIG.

  In step ST405, the current gaming state (for example, a normal gaming state, a special gaming state, an accessory gaming state, etc.) is acquired, and then in step ST410, the result of the internal lottery process described above is acquired. Specifically, the result of the internal lottery process refers to the internal lottery result storage area m10. Thereby, it is possible to determine the winning and losing of each winning combination in the following.

  In step ST415, it is determined whether or not the re-game is won internally. When a re-game is won internally, the process proceeds to step ST440, and a stop position data number corresponding to the re-game win is acquired. Specifically, this refers to the stop position data of the re-game winning from the stop position data selection table ta10 corresponding to the gaming state acquired in step ST405, and the stop position data number (stop position data) of the stop position data. ID number uniquely determining data). On the other hand, when the internal game is not won in the replay, the process proceeds to step ST420.

  In step ST420, it is determined whether or not BB has been won internally. When the BB is won internally, the process proceeds to step ST440, and the stop position data number corresponding to the BB winning is acquired. On the other hand, when BB is not internally won, the process proceeds to step ST425.

  In step ST425, it is determined whether or not RB is won internally. When the RB is won internally, the process proceeds to step ST440, and the stop position data number corresponding to the RB winning is acquired. On the other hand, when RB is not won internally, the process proceeds to step ST430.

  In step ST430, it is determined whether or not the small roles 1 to 4 are internally won. When the small winning combination 1 to 4 is won internally, the process proceeds to step ST440, and the stop position data number corresponding to the winning combination 1 to 4 winning is acquired. On the other hand, when none of the small roles 1 to 4 is won internally, the process proceeds to step ST435. In step ST430, in detail, it is determined whether or not each winning combination has been internally won in the order of small combination 1, small combination 2, small combination 3, and small combination 4, and the winning combination has been internally won. If so, the process proceeds to step ST440.

  In step ST435, it is determined whether or not each winning combination has been won internally. When each winning combination is won internally, the process proceeds to step ST440, and a stop position data number corresponding to the winning winning combination is acquired. On the other hand, if the internal winning is not achieved at the end of each winning combination, the process is terminated. In step ST435, in detail, it is determined whether or not an internal winning is selected for any of BB miss, RB miss, small role 1 miss, small role 2 miss, small role 3 miss, small role 4 miss, and replay miss. If the winning is internal winning, the process proceeds to step ST440.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, there is no overlap in the winning range of each winning combination, and there is no internal winning for a plurality of winning combinations, and therefore the determination order (re-game → (BB → RB →...) Has no meaning, but if there is an overlap in the winning range of the winning combination of the lottery data, there is a possibility that a plurality of winning combinations will be won, so the determination order after step ST415 has a meaning. It will be. When a plurality of winning combinations are won, stop position data is determined according to the priority order, and reel stop control is performed based on the determined stop position data. In this case, as described in the next effect lottery process, the effect is also performed based on the determined stop position data, and therefore the effect is also controlled according to the priority order.

<Direction lottery processing>
FIG. 9 is a flowchart illustrating in detail the effect lottery process shown in step ST500 of FIG.

  In step ST505, the current gaming state (for example, a normal gaming state, a special gaming state, an accessory gaming state, etc.) is acquired, and then in step ST510, a stop position data number is acquired. This is to obtain the stop position data number of the stop position data determined in step ST440 described above.

  In step ST515, the effect group data table ta20 corresponding to the acquired stop position data number is acquired. In this embodiment, since the effect group data to be executed is determined according to the stop position data, the effect group data is acquired. For example, when the stop position data number is 1 (when BB is won internally), as shown in FIG. 9, BB000 (no effect), BB1XX (notice effect), BB2XX (determined effect) ), An effect group data table ta20 including BB3XX (outlier effect) is acquired.

  In step ST520, an effect group lottery process is performed. This is to select one effect group data by lottery from the acquired effect group data table ta20. For example, as shown in FIG. 9, an effect is selected from the effect group data table ta20. Group data BB1XX (notice system effect) is selected by lottery.

  In step ST525, the effect data table ta30 corresponding to the selected effect group data is acquired. For example, specifically, when the production group data is BB1XX (notice-type production), as shown in FIG. 9, the production data table ta30 including BB100, BB101, and BB102 is acquired.

  In step ST530, effect data lottery processing is performed. This is to select one effect data by lottery from the acquired effect data table ta30. For example, as shown in FIG. 9, the effect data BB102 is specifically selected from the effect data table ta30. Selected by lottery.

  In step ST535, an effect command corresponding to the selected effect data is set and transmitted to the sub-control unit 400. For example, specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, when the effect data BB102 is selected, an effect command including the effect number BB102 is transmitted to the sub-control unit 400.

  FIG. 10 shows a specific example of the above-described effect group data and effect data. For example, when the production group data BB1XX is a notice-type production, the game ends when the winning combination is based on the clothes color of the princess character (cherry → red, bell → yellow, watermelon → green, bonus → white, etc.) Depending on the change in the display content until the game is done, an indirect effect is shown to show the expectation for the winning combination. More specifically, the effect data BB100 included in the effect group data BB1XX is an effect in which the princess simply passes on the screen (during the expected level for the winning combination), and the effect data BB101 is an effect in which the princess is pushed away by the bag. The production data BB102 is the production that follows Princess, followed by Princess Chibi (high expectation level for the winning combination).

  In addition, when the production group data BB2XX is set as a definitive production, a direct production is finally performed so as to clearly announce the internal winning result. More specifically, the production data BB200 included in the production group data BB2XX is a production in which the main character looks up at the ceiling, but nothing falls (the expectation level for the winning combination is zero), and the production data BB201 looks up at the ceiling. When the main character looks up at the ceiling, the production data BB202 is an effect in which a large tub with a BB symbol falls (the winning combination is confirmed). ).

  In addition, when the production group data BB3XX is used as an off-stage production, it is an production that represents the expectation of the winning combination by the appearing character. For example, the production data BB300 included in the production group data BB3XX is displayed with a habit. Production (expected level zero).

  For each of the above-mentioned effects, a large selection rate is allocated so that an effect with a high degree of expectation is selected when the winning combination is selected, and an effect with a low expectation is selected when the internal winning is not selected. The selection rate is distributed so that Thereby, the player can know which winning combination has been won or not.

<Stop button reception process>
FIG. 11 is a flowchart illustrating in detail the stop button reception process shown in step ST700 of FIG.

  In step ST705, it is determined whether or not the stop button has been operated. If the stop button has been operated, the process proceeds to step ST710, and if the stop button has not been operated, the process ends.

  In step ST710, the stop position data determined in step ST440 described above is set, and in step ST715, the picture position when the stop button is operated is acquired. Next, in step ST720, stop position data for the acquired picture position is acquired from the set stop position data, and in step ST725, a stoppable position is searched. Next, in step 730, the number of frames to be drawn is set from the searched stoppable position.

  As described above, in this embodiment, stop control is performed based on the determined stop position data, but the stop position data is received in response to an internal lottery result based on lottery data having a range of winning and losing for each winning combination. Since it is determined, various types of reel control can be performed more than before.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, by using lottery data that defines the range of winning and losing for each winning combination, it is possible to perform lottery internal lottery and various effects reflecting the lottery result. The game can be interesting.

  That is, the player can enjoy a variety of effects and can also guess which winning combination has deviated from the effect that has been executed, and even if it is out of the game, the game can be more interesting.

  In the lottery data of the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the range of each winning combination is equally divided (for example, the lottery probability 6777), but as shown in FIG. In addition, the range out of the winning range of each winning combination may be set to be distributed at a certain ratio. For example, when the range of the winning range of each winning combination is set to 1: 2, the range of BB and RB is greatly reduced compared to the above embodiment, so that the BB and RB are out of range. The probability of winning is reduced, and so-called disappointment is lost, so that the reliability of the performance performed can be further increased.

Second Embodiment
Next, a second embodiment of the slot machine 100 will be described. In the present embodiment, the description will focus on the differences from the first embodiment, and the description of the same configuration and function as in the first embodiment will be omitted. The slot machine 100 according to the second embodiment also has a feature in the lottery data used for the internal lottery of the winning combination, but unlike the first embodiment, the lottery data having an overlap in the winning range of each winning combination. It has become.

  FIG. 13 is an example of lottery data (lottery data in a normal gaming state with a predetermined set value) in the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 13, for example, when the random number value extracted from the random number generator 311 is 9000, it corresponds to the winning range of replay and also corresponds to the winning range of BB. In the result storage area m10, “1” is set in each of the winning areas for BB and replay, and both the replay and BB are internally won. Here, in this embodiment, when a plurality of winning combinations are won internally, a priority order is given to which winning combination is given priority (in this embodiment, replay> BB). When both the re-game and BB are won internally, the re-game is selected as a winning combination in the game. As described in the above embodiment, since the internal winning of BB can be carried over after the next game, it is possible to win the BB after the next game. For this reason, the player can play with a sense of expectation that the BB may have been won internally even though a re-winning prize has been obtained in the game. If the BB is also won internally, if the result of the next game's internal lottery is out of play, the BB won the BB internal win because the BB won the internal win and the reach and final effects will be executed. I can know. On the other hand, if the result is a stop display result, it means that BB has not been won internally.

  Next, the operation of the slot machine 100 according to the present embodiment will be described. Here, since the flow of the game execution process in this embodiment is the same as that in the first embodiment (see FIG. 6), the explanation regarding the game execution process is omitted, but the internal lottery process in the game execution process is Since the contents are different, the internal lottery process will be described below with reference to FIG. FIG. 14 is a flowchart illustrating in detail the internal lottery process in the present embodiment.

  In step ST305, a random number used for the lottery is acquired from the random number generator 311. In step ST310, a lottery data table corresponding to the current gaming state and the set value (for example, more specifically, a lottery data table shown in FIG. 13). ta5A) is acquired. Here, the lottery data table stores different types of lottery data depending on the game state type and the set value.

  Next, based on the acquired lottery data table, the lottery process of steps ST360 to ST375 is repeated for the number of lottery winning combinations (for example, in the lottery data table ta5A in FIG. 13, the winning combination is BB, RB, small combination 1 to 4. Since there are 8 replays and outliers, the process is performed 8 times).

  In step ST360, a winning combination is set from a plurality of winning combinations, and the winning range of the winning combination is acquired. For example, specifically, when the re-game shown in FIG. 13 is set as a winning combination, 0 is a winning start value of re-game and 9413 is a winning end value of re-game.

  In step ST365, it is determined whether or not the acquired random number value is included in the set winning range of the winning combination, that is, whether or not the winning combination winning start value ≦ random number value ≦ winning winning combination winning value. judge.

  When the acquired random number value is included in the winning range of the set winning combination, the process proceeds to step ST370, and the result is stored in the internal lottery result storage area m10 in the RAM 313. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 14, “1” (meaning winning) is set in the storage area corresponding to the set winning combination.

  On the other hand, when the acquired random number value is not included in the winning range of the set winning combination, the process proceeds to step ST375, and “0” is set in the storage area corresponding to the set winning combination.

  Then, the above lottery process is performed for all winning combinations, and the process is terminated.

  In the reel stop preparation process flowchart shown in FIG. 8, as described above, stop position data is selected in a predetermined priority order. Therefore, a plurality of winning combinations as in this embodiment are selected. It is possible to cope with the case of winning an internal win.

  FIG. 15 shows a modification of the present embodiment. In this modified example, as shown in FIG. 15, the winning range for re-game is set variably instead of being fixed, and the winning range for re-game is expanded when a predetermined condition is satisfied. Yes. That is, in a state where the winning range of re-game is expanded (hereinafter referred to as “re-game high probability state. On the other hand, a normal state where the winning range of re-game is not expanded” is referred to as “re-game normal probability state”). It is possible to win internally both for replays and small roles 2.

  For example, when the random number extracted from the random number generator 311 is 10,000, in the replay normal probability state, only the small combination 2 is won internally, but in the replay high probability state, the replay and the small combination 2 Both sides will win internally. Here, also in this variation, when a plurality of winning combinations are won internally, priority is given to which winning combination is given priority (in this variation, replay> small role 2). When both the re-game and the small combination 2 are won internally, the re-game is selected as a winning combination in the game. In other words, in the general game, the replay high probability state is always set so as to increase the replay winning frequency, and control is performed so as to suppress the number of medals obtained. And, by controlling to shift to the replay normal probability state for a certain period of time by satisfying a predetermined condition, control to increase the winning frequency to the small role 2 and acquire many medals Can do.

  FIG. 16 shows another example in which the winning range of the replay is variable as in FIG. As shown in FIG. 16, in the replay high probability state, it is possible to win a small combination 1 or a small combination 2 in addition to replay. Thus, as shown in FIG. 14, the winning range of the replay may be expanded in one direction and overlap with one other winning combination, or as shown in FIG. The winning range may be expanded in two directions, and may overlap with the other two winning combinations.

  As shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, in order to change the winning range of re-game, a game execution process as shown in FIG. 17 may be performed. That is, the lottery probability changing process of step ST1400 is added to the end of the game execution process (see FIG. 6) in the first embodiment, and the winning probability of the re-game is changed in this step.

  FIG. 18 is a flowchart illustrating in detail the lottery probability changing process shown in step ST1400 of FIG. Here, in this modified example, the re-game high probability state is executed by a predetermined number of games after winning the BB or RB and finishing the special game state or the accessory game state. It has become.

  In step ST1405, it is determined whether BB or RB was internally won in the game. In the game, when BB or RB is won internally, the process proceeds to step ST1440, and the game state of the next game is set to the re-game normal probability state. On the other hand, if neither BB nor RB is won internally in the game, the process proceeds to step ST1410.

  In step ST1410, it is determined whether or not the special game state or the accessory game state has ended in the game. When the special game state or the accessory game state is ended in the game, the next game is started from the next game high probability state. Therefore, the process proceeds to step ST1430, an initial value is set in the game number counter, and then step ST1435. The game state of the next game is set to the re-game high probability state. Here, the initial value set in the game number counter is the number of games for controlling the gaming state to the re-gaming high probability state, and the value of the game number counter is subtracted every time a game is played. Then, when the value of the game number counter becomes 0, the re-game high probability state ends. On the other hand, when neither the special game state nor the accessory game state has ended in the game, the process proceeds to step ST1415.

  In step ST1415, it is determined whether or not the value of the game number counter is 0. If the value of the game number counter is 0, the process proceeds to step ST1440, and the game state of the next game is set to the re-game normal probability state. To do. On the other hand, when the value of the game number counter is not 0, the process proceeds to step ST1420, and 1 is subtracted from the value of the game number counter.

  In step ST1425, it is determined whether or not the value of the subtracted game number counter is zero. When the value of the subtracted game number counter is 0, the re-gaming high probability state ends in the game, the process proceeds to step ST1440, and the gaming state of the next game is set to the re-gaming normal probability state. On the other hand, when the value of the subtracted game number counter is not 0, since the re-game high probability state continues in the next game, the process proceeds to step ST1435, and the game state of the next game is set to the re-game high probability state.

  In the present embodiment and the modification, the case where the winning range of the re-game and any winning combination is overlapped as the lottery data having an overlap in the winning range of each winning combination has been described. It is not limited, and the winning ranges of other winning combinations other than replays may overlap each other. FIG. 19 shows an example of this. In FIG. 19, three types of BBs are provided as winning combinations, and part or all of the winning ranges of the BBs overlap each other. Therefore, in this case, it is possible to win up to three BBs simultaneously.

  Therefore, according to the present embodiment and the modification, using the lottery data determined so that the winning ranges of each winning combination overlap, the internal winning lottery is performed and a plurality of winning combinations are won in advance. Since one winning combination is determined according to the determined priority, the game can be interesting.

  In other words, in one internal lottery, for example, it is possible to win both a re-game and a BB, and even if the re-game becomes a winning combination in the game, the possibility of winning a BB in the next game or later Therefore, the player can face the game with expectation.
