Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve interest and to participate in a game regardless of a skilled person or an unskilled person even for a game machine provided with a game property capable of simultaneously winning a plurality of winning roles in the drawing of the winning role. <P>SOLUTION: As to the drawing data of this invention, it is possible to simultaneously win the plurality of winning roles and small roles 1-3 respectively overlap with SB and are internally won. For instance, when an acquired random number is 1070-7055, the small role 1 and the SB are internally won simultaneously. In this case, since the same privilege more advantageous than the SB is set for the small roles 1-3, a player advances a game while aiming at the small roles 1-3 in a normal game, however, since whether or not one of the small roles 1-3 is internally won is unknown, even a skilled person can not win all the small roles. On the other hand, when there is a report by AT, since the report relating to the won small roles 1-3 is made, even an unskilled person can win the small role. <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.

  The slot machine determines whether or not to win a prize by an internal lottery of a winning combination performed in the slot machine, and performs reel stop control in response to this determination. Then, as a result of such reel stop control, when the combination of patterns to be transferred to the bonus game is aligned on the winning line, the game shifts to the bonus game, and the player can acquire a large number of medals. . Therefore, the player plays the game while expecting to shift to the bonus game.

  In recent years, the gaming characteristics of such slot machines have been extremely diverse, and have been provided with a plurality of types of gaming modes to provide further expectations to players.

  For example, if a group winning combination is set for a game in the BB (Big Bonus) mode, which is a bonus game, and multiple winning roles are selected at the same time in the internal lottery, any winning combination will be selected. A slot machine that can emphasize the skill difference between an expert and a non-expert is proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1). This is so that even if the number of medals that can be acquired in one bonus game is set to be the same, a difference in the skills of the players appears. More specifically, an expert who can make an appointment can win an advantageous winning combination among the group winning combinations, so that the BB mode can be ended quickly, but an unskilled person who cannot make an appointment, Since it is difficult to win an advantageous winning combination, the BB mode cannot be finished early.

  The ROM 512 stores programs and data for controlling the entire sub-control unit B500. The RAM 513 includes a work area for programs processed by the CPU 510. The ROM 512 and RAM 513 are connected to the CPU 510 via a bus.

  A ROM 531, a RAM 532, and a VDP (video display processor) 534 are connected to the CPU 530 via a bus.

  On the other hand, the ROM 531 stores a program processed by the CPU 530. The RAM 532 has a work area for programs processed by the CPU 530 and the like. A crystal oscillator 533 is connected to the VDP 534, and further a ROM 535 and a RAM 536 are connected via a bus. The ROM 535 stores a plurality of types of image data of the liquid crystal display device 180. The CPU 530 reads out image data in the ROM 535 based on the signal from the CPU 510, generates an image signal using the work area of the RAM 536, and displays the display screen of the liquid crystal display device 180 via the D / A converter 537. Display an image.

<Pattern arrangement>
FIG. 5 is a diagram in which a pattern arrangement applied to each of the reels 110 to 112 is developed in a planar manner. 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. In the present embodiment, nine types of patterns, “777”, “333”, “SIN”, “Cherry”, “Watermelon”, “Bell 1”, “Bell 2”, “Bell 3”, and “Replay” are used. However, the types of designs are not limited to these.

  Numbers 1 to 21 shown at the left end of FIG. 5 are numbers indicating the position of each picture on the reel, that is, the picture arrangement on the reel. There is a one-to-one correspondence between this number and the picture. For example, the number 1 frame on the left reel 110 has a “777” picture and the number 1 frame on the middle reel 111 has a “333” picture and the right reel 112. The “SIN” pattern is arranged in each frame of number 1.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, since only one “SIN” pattern is arranged on each reel 110 to 112, an SB (single winning combination) to be described later is provided. -The bonus combination "SIN-SIN-SIN" is difficult to align. Also, “Bell 2” related to the combination “Bell 2-Bell 1-Bell 1” of the small role 2 and “Bell 3-Bell 1-Bell 1” of the small role 3, which is one of the winning combinations described later. ”And“ Bell 3 ”are present only on the left reel 110.

<Winner>
Next, the winning combination of the slot machine 100 in the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 6 shows a pattern combination of each winning combination, lottery data, and the number of medals to be paid out at the time of winning. In the present embodiment, “winning combination” means not only a combination with a medal payout (small combination 1 to 5) but also an operation combination without a medal payout (BB, RB, SB, replay). It is. The winning combination of the slot machine 100 of the present embodiment is set to a winning combination for internal lottery according to the gaming state. As shown in FIGS. 6 (a) to (d), there are four types of game states: normal game, BB general game, RB (SRB) game, and accessory game. The winning combination and lottery data to be set are set differently.

(1) The prescribed number of medals in the regular winning game in the normal game is set to three.

・ BB (Big Bonus)
When the pattern combination of “777-777-777” is aligned with any of the winning lines 114 of the pattern display window 113, BB is won. When winning the BB, the game shifts to the BB general game, and the BB general game is started from the next game.

  In addition, during the BB general game, it is possible to shift to an SRB (shift regular bonus) game by an internal lottery regardless of the pattern combination. When this SRB set only during the BB general game is won internally, the next game is shifted to the SRB game (which is the same as the RB game described later). When the SRB game ends, the game returns to the BB general game again. In the present embodiment, in the BB game (the game in which the BB general game and the SRB game are combined) is referred to as BB game, when 465 medals are paid out, the BB game ends at that time.

・ RB (Regular Bonus)
When the pattern combination of “333-333-333” is aligned with any of the winning lines 114 of the pattern display window 113, RB is won. When winning the RB, the RB game is started from the next game. In the RB game, the small roles 1 to 3 are won with higher probability than in the normal game. In the present embodiment, the RB game is ended by winning the winning combination 8 times or by playing the game 12 times.

SB (single bonus)
When the pattern combination of “SIN-SIN-SIN” is aligned with any of the winning lines 114 of the pattern display window 113, SB is won. When winning a prize for SB, an accessory game is started only once from the next game. In the bonus game, the winning probability of the small role 5 is set higher than that in the normal game, and medals can be obtained from the normal game. Therefore, the game is more advantageous than the normal game. In the present embodiment, the accessory game is completed by one game.

・ Small 1 to 3
“Bell 1-Bell 1-Bell 1” picture combination of the small role 1, “Bell 2-Bell 1-Bell 1” picture combination of the small role 2 or “Bell 3-Bell 1-Bell 1” of the small role 3 When the symbol combinations “” are aligned with any of the winning lines 114 of the symbol display window 113, 15 medals are paid out, and the next game remains a normal game. In this embodiment, since the winning probabilities of the small combinations 1 to 3 are the same and the number of payouts is also the same, the small combinations 1 to 3 are winning combinations in which the same privilege is set. In the present invention, it is necessary that the same privilege is set for the small combinations 1 to 3, but this does not necessarily mean that the winning probability and the number of payouts are the same. For example, the winning probability of the small role 2 may be ½ of the winning probability of the small role 1, and the payout number of the small role 2 may be double the payout number of the small role 1. In addition, the same privilege includes the number of stop operation ranges in reel stop control, which will be described later, and since the same number of stop operation ranges is set for the small roles 1 to 3, it is viewed from the player. The small combinations 1 to 3 are winning combinations having the same conditions.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 7, the lottery data in this embodiment can win a plurality of winning combinations at the same time. More specifically, each of the small combinations 1 to 3 overlaps with the SB. To win internally. For example, when the random number acquired from the random number generation circuit 317 described above is a numerical value of 1070 to 7055, the internal winning is made simultaneously for the small roles 1 and SB (hereinafter, the simultaneous winning is made for the small roles 1 and SB). The winning combination is referred to as a small role 1 / SB). Note that the lottery data in the normal gaming state shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B is an example, and if a plurality of winning combinations can be won at the same time, the lottery data configuration is as follows. For example, a plurality of lottery data may be provided and a plurality of lotteries may be performed.

  In this embodiment, as will be described later, when winning a small combination 1 to 3 and SB at the same time, only one winning combination can be won (overlapping with small combinations 1 to 3 and SB). For a player, it is more advantageous for a player to win a combination of the small combinations 1 to 3 with a combination of the patterns of the small combinations 1 to 3. This is because, as shown in FIG. 6, when winning a small combination 1 to 3, 15 medals are paid out in the game, whereas when winning an SB, the next game is an advantage more advantageous than the normal game. Although the game is started, there is no medal payout in the game, so the expected value of the number of payout medals that the player will get between the two games of the next game (the game as a result of one game) This is because, when comparing the total number of medals that will be paid out to the winner, the one who wins the small roles 1 to 3 is higher. Therefore, due to the gaming nature of the slot machine 100, in the normal game, the player avoids the SB winning and aims to win the small roles 1 to 3.

  Furthermore, as shown in the stop data described later, if the stop operation is performed at a picture position that can be awarded to the SB when the small roles 1 to 3 and the SB are simultaneously selected, it is possible to win the small roles 1 to 3 There is no sex, and there is no possibility of winning the small roles 4 and 5. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when a game that wins the SB is won, the expected value of the number of payout medals that the player will be able to obtain is lower than when a game that does not win the SB is played. It has become. That is, the total of the expected number of medals to be paid out when winning the SB and the expected value of the number of medals to be paid out in the next game is lower than the total expected value of the number of medals to be paid out between the two games in the normal gaming state. .

  In the present embodiment, three small roles of the same privilege are provided as small roles 1 to 3, but the present invention is not limited to three, and there may be at least two. It may be two or four.

・ Small 4, 5
When the pattern combination of “Cherry-ANY-ANY” of the small role 4 is aligned with any of the winning lines 114 of the pattern display window 113, the pattern combination of “watermelon-watermelon-watermelon” of the small role 5 is When one of the winning lines 114 of the pattern display window 113 is aligned, 15 medals are paid out, and the next game remains a normal game.

When the pattern combination of the replay “Replay-Replay-Replay” is aligned with any of the winning lines 114 of the pattern display window 113, the replay is won, and the next game can be performed without inserting medals.

(2) The prescribed number of medals in the BB general game in the BB general game is set to three.

Same as SB (single bonus), small roles 1 to 5, replay normal game SB, small roles 1 to 5 and replay

・ SRB (shift regular bonus)
As described above, during the BB general game, the SRB can be won by the internal lottery regardless of the pattern combination, and when the SRB is won, the game shifts from the next game to the SRB game.

(3) The prescribed number of medals in the winning combination RB (SRB) game in the RB (SRB) game is set to one.

・ Small 1-5
Although it is the same as the small roles 1 to 5 described in the normal game, with respect to the small roles 1 to 3, the winning probability is set higher than that of the normal game, and it is easy to win.

(4) The specified number of medals in an accessory game is set to one.

・ BB, RB, SB, small roles 1 to 5, replays Same as BB, RB, SB, small roles 1 to 5 and replays described in normal games, but for small role 5, winning probability is normal It is set higher than games.

  Note that the internal winning probability of each winning combination described above is set for each gaming state (normal game, BB general game, RB (SRB) game, bonus game), as shown in FIGS. 6 (a) to 6 (d). The winning probability shown is a numerical value obtained by dividing the lottery value described in the lottery data column of each table by the total random number value (65536). In addition, the internal winning probability of each winning combination is generally set to be within a predetermined payout range, and can be set in six stages from setting 1 to setting 6 according to the business of the amusement store. It has become. In the present embodiment, only one arbitrary stage (setting 1) is illustrated in FIG. 6 and other settings are omitted.

<Basic control of games>
FIG. 8 is a flowchart of the main process of the main control unit showing the basic control of the game in the slot machine 100 of the present embodiment. The basic control of the game is performed mainly by the CPU 310 of the main control unit 300, and the processing of steps S102 to S111 in FIG.

  In step S101, when power is turned on, first, various initialization processes are performed.

  In step S102, medal insertion / start acceptance processing is executed. Here, it is checked whether or not medals have been inserted, and a prescribed number of medals is set. Also, the winning line display lamp 120 is turned on according to the number of inserted medals. It is not necessary to insert a medal when winning the re-game in the previous game. Further, it is checked whether or not the start lever 135 has been operated. If it is determined that the start operation has been performed, the process proceeds to step S103. In addition, the sub-control unit A400 outputs a command indicating that the start lever 130 has been operated.

  In step S103, the number of inserted medals is determined, and an effective winning line 114 is determined.

  In step S104, the random number generated by the random number generation circuit 317 is acquired.

  In step S105, an internal lottery is performed to determine whether or not each winning combination is won by an internal lottery by using the acquired random number value and the lottery data stored in the ROM 312. The contents of the lottery data are as shown in FIG. 6, and differ depending on the type of gaming state. Note that a command indicating the internal lottery result is transmitted to the sub-control unit A400.

  In step S106, stop data stored in the ROM 312 is selected based on the internal lottery result. Here, the stop data is data in which information related to the reel stop operation is stored corresponding to a plurality of types of winning combinations, and is selected according to the internal lottery result in step S500. In addition, a command indicating the type of the selected stop data is transmitted to the sub-control unit A400.

  In step S107, rotation of all reels 110 to 112 is started.

  In step S108, the stop buttons 137 to 139 can be received. When any one of the stop buttons is pressed, any of the reels 110 to 112 corresponding to the pressed stop button is selected based on the stop data selected in S106. Stop.

  In step S109, a winning determination is performed. Here, it is determined that the winning combination has been won when a combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination in the internal winning is displayed on the activated winning line 114. For example, if there is a pattern of “watermelon-watermelon-watermelon” on the validated winning line 114, it is determined that the small winning combination 5 has been won.

  In step S110, if any winning combination with payout is won, the number of medals corresponding to the winning combination is paid out.

  In step S111, a game state control process is executed. In this game state control process, control for shifting the game state is performed. For example, in the case of a bonus winning such as BB or RB, the corresponding BB general game or RB (SRB) game can be started from the next time. The final game is prepared so that the normal game can be started from the next time. This process will be described later in detail. As described above, one game is completed, and the game progresses by repeating this thereafter.

<Reel stop control>
As described above, stop control of the reels 110 to 112 is performed based on the selected stop data by selecting one of a plurality of types of stop data based on the internal lottery result. As for the stop data, for the winning combination won in the internal lottery or the so-called flag carry-over winning combination, it is allowed to display the corresponding picture combination together. The pattern combination corresponding to the combination is configured not to be displayed together. For example, when “Bell 1−Bell 1−Bell 1” of the small role 1 is not internally won, the reels 110 to 112 are stopped at the timing when the symbol combination “Bell 1−Bell 1−Bell 1” is displayed Is performed, the reels 110 to 112 are not stopped immediately, and are controlled so that the bell picture combinations are not aligned. On the other hand, if “Bell 1-Bell 1-Bell 1” is won internally, even if the reels 110 to 112 are not stopped at the timing at which the bell picture combination is displayed, a certain amount of time is fixed. In the range, the reels 110 to 112 are controlled not to stop immediately but to be matched with the bell picture combination. The certain range is a predetermined stoppable range, and is a range that can be moved from when the stop operation is performed (the more the number of frames to be pulled in, the more the reel can be slid and stopped). However, if the number is too large, the player will be given the unnatural feeling that the reel is rotating even though the stop operation has been performed. It is preferable to set a stop permission position (in this embodiment, a maximum of four-frame sliding is used). This is called pull-in control.

  Here, the reel stop control when the winning combination 1 / SB is internally won will be described in detail. FIG. 9 specifically shows each process corresponding to steps S105 to S109 in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 9, when winning a small combination 1 / SB in the winning combination internal lottery process in step S105, stop data T1 is selected in the reel stop data selection process in step S106. Here, the stop data T1 includes either “Bell 1−Bell 1−Bell 1” which is a pattern combination corresponding to the small role 1 or “SIN-SIN-SIN” which is a pattern combination corresponding to the SB. This is stop data that can be stopped on the winning line 114. Specifically, the stop data T1 is data that makes it possible to stop and display “Bell 1-Bell 1-Bell 1”, which is a pattern combination corresponding to the small role 1, and a pattern combination corresponding to SB. SIN-SIN-SIN "is provided on the winning line so that it can be stopped and displayed, and one of the picture combinations can be stopped and displayed on the winning line according to the stop operation.

  Next, after the reel rotation is started, when the player performs a reel stop operation in step S108, the reel stop control is performed using the stop data T1. For example, when the stop operation of the left reel 110 is first performed, the stop control of the left reel 110 is performed by the stop data T1 as shown in FIG. More specifically, if the stop operation is performed when the pattern having the number in the range shown in (a) is at the middle position of the pattern display window 113, the pattern “SIN” (pattern position 14) is displayed on the pattern display window 113. It stops at the middle position in the frame (the number of stop operations for five frames at the pattern positions 14 to 18). Similarly, when the picture of the number in the range shown in (b) is in the middle position of the picture display window 113, if there is a stop operation, the picture of “Bell 1” will be within the frame of the picture display window 113. It stops at the middle position (the number of stop operation ranges for three frames at the picture positions 4 to 6). It should be noted that a stop operation occurs when the picture number (picture positions 1 to 3, 7 to 13, 19 to 21) in the range shown in (c) is in the middle position of the picture display window 113.

  Next, the left reel 110 is stopped within the range shown in (a), the “SIN” pattern is stopped within the frame of the picture display window 113, and the middle reel 111 and the right reel 112 are also stopped. As a result, when the pattern combination of “SIN-SIN-SIN” is stopped on the winning line 114, it is determined as SB winning in the winning determination process of step S109 (in FIG. 9, “ SIN-SIN-SIN "shows the case where the pattern combinations are complete). Further, the left reel 110 is stopped within the range shown in (b), the “bell 1” pattern is stopped within the frame of the picture display window 113, and the middle reel 111 and the right reel 112 are also stopped. As a result, when the pattern combination “BELL 1−BELL 1−BELL 1” is stopped on the winning line 114, the winning combination determination process in step S109 determines the small role 1 winning (in FIG. This shows a case where the pattern combination of “BELL 1−BELL 1−BELL 1” is aligned on the winning line 114).

  FIG. 9 shows the reel stop control when the small winning combination 1 / SB is internally won, and the reel stopping control when the small winning combination 2 / SB and the small winning combination 3 / SB are internally won is shown in FIG. Although not shown, the number of stop operation ranges for “Bell 2” is 3 frames on the left reel 110 even when the small role 2 / SB is elected internally (pattern positions 11 to 13). Even when the winning combination 3 / SB is won internally, the stop operation range number of “Bell 3” is 3 frames on the left reel 110 (pattern positions 19 to 21). Further, the stop operation range of “Bell 2” in the middle reel 111 and the right reel 112 when the small winning combination 2 / SB is internally won, and the middle reel 111 and the right reel 112 when the small winning combination 3 / SB is won internally. The stop operation range of “Bell 3” is similarly set to the pattern positions 1 to 21 of the middle reel 111 and the pattern positions 1 to 21 of the right reel 112. That is, in the stop data in the present embodiment, the number of stop operation ranges of the small combination 1, the small combination 2 and the small combination 3 is set to the same number and overlaps with the stop operation range set to the left reel 110. There is no pattern position.

  In other words, stop data set when the internal winning is made for the small role 1 / SB, stop data set when the internal winning is made for the small role 2 / SB, and set when the internal winning is made for the small role 3 / SB. The stop information that is set to the left reel 110 can stop display any one of the small combinations 1, the small combination 2, or the pattern combination corresponding to the small combination 3 on the winning line. Stops the symbol positions 4 to 6 that are the symbol position range that includes the information and allows the symbol combination corresponding to the small role 1 to be stopped and displayed on the winning line, and the symbol combination corresponding to the small role 2 on the winning line. The pattern positions 11 to 13 that are the pattern position range that can be displayed and the pattern positions 19 to 21 that are the pattern position range that can stop display the pattern combination corresponding to the small role 3 on the winning line are overlapping patterns. The position is set No. As a result, among the small roles 1 to 3 with the same winning probability, no matter which small role continues to be aimed, the frequency of overwriting will not change, and among the small roles 1 to 3, for example, it corresponds to the small role 1 Even if aiming at the picture positions 4 to 6 to be performed, an advantageous result is not obtained. (For example, a pattern position range in which the pattern combination corresponding to the small role 1 can be stopped and displayed on the winning line, and a pattern position range in which the pattern combination corresponding to the small role 2 can be stopped and displayed on the winning line, If there is an overlapped pattern position range setting, a stop operation in this range can be performed to stop and display the pattern combination corresponding to the small combination 1 on the winning line when the small combination 1 is won internally. Thus, when the small combination 2 is won internally, the pattern combination corresponding to the small combination 2 can be stopped and displayed on the winning line.) However, the pattern combination corresponding to the SB of the left reel 110 is displayed in the winning line. The pattern positions 14 to 18 that can be stopped and displayed on the top are common when the internal winning is made for the small role 1 / SB, when the internal winning is made for the small role 2 / SB, and when the internal winning is made for the small role 3 / SB. Is set as If the player keeps aiming at the picture positions 14 to 18 of the left reel 110, the picture combination corresponding to the SB may be stopped and displayed on the winning line every time the SB is won. The small roles 1 to 3 will never win a prize.

  In FIG. 9, stop data when stop operation is performed in the order of the left reel 110, the middle reel 111, and the right reel 112 in the reel stop control when the small win 1 / SB is internally won has been described. If different from each other, different stop data may be set.

<Game state control processing>
FIG. 10 is a flowchart for explaining in detail the gaming state control process shown in step S111 of FIG.

  In step S141, it is determined whether or not the current game is a game in the BB game (BB general game). If the current game is a game in the BB game, the process proceeds to step S142, and the profit counter is updated. Here, the profit counter is a software counter set on the RAM 313, and is a counter that counts the profit obtained by the player during the BB game in order to determine the end condition of the BB game. The profit counter is reset at the start of the BB game, and in the present embodiment, the number of medals paid out in the BB game is counted. On the other hand, when the current game is not a game in the BB game, the process proceeds to step S144.

  In step S143, it is determined whether or not the value of the profit counter exceeds a predetermined value (465 sheets in the present embodiment). When the value of the profit counter exceeds a predetermined value, the process proceeds to step S151, and the normal game is set as the next game state. As a result, the BB game ends and the next game is changed to the normal game. On the other hand, when the value of the profit counter does not exceed the predetermined value, the process proceeds to step S144.

  In step S144, it is determined whether or not RB is won in the current game. If the RB is won in the current game, the process proceeds to step S152. If the RB is not won in the current game, the process proceeds to step S145.

  In step S145, it is determined whether or not SRB has been won in this game. When the SRB is won in the current game, the process proceeds to step S152, and when the SRB is not won in the current game, the process proceeds to step S146.

  In step S152, an RB / SRB winning process is performed. Here, the RB game (RB game) or the SRB game (SRB game) is set as the next game state, and the lottery data of the RB (SRB) game is set as the lottery data. In the present embodiment, 12 times and 8 times are set as the initial values of the software counter for managing the number of games and the number of winnings in the RB game or SRB game, respectively.

  In step S146, it is determined whether or not BB is won in this game. If the BB is won in this game, the process proceeds to step S153, and the processing at the time of BB winning is performed. Here, the BB game (BB general game) is set as the next game state, and the lottery data of the BB general game is set as the lottery data. On the other hand, if the BB is not won in this game, the process proceeds to step S147.

  In step S147, it is determined whether or not SB is won in the current game. When the SB is won in this game, the process proceeds to step S154, and the processing at the time of SB winning is performed. Here, the SB game (combination game) is set as the next game state, and the lottery data of the accessory game is set as the lottery data. In the present embodiment, 1 is set as the initial value of the software counter that manages the number of games played in the SB game. On the other hand, if the SB is not won in this game, the process proceeds to step S148.

  In step S148, it is determined whether or not the current game is a game in an RB game. If the current game is a game in the RB game, the process proceeds to step S155, and if the current game is not a game in the RB game, the process proceeds to step S149.

  In step S149, it is determined whether or not the current game is a game in the SRB game. When the current game is a game during the SRB game, the process proceeds to step S155, and when the current game is not a game during the SRB game, the process proceeds to step S150.

  In step S155, processing during the RB / SRB game is performed. Here, one software counter for managing the number of games of the RB game or the SRB game is subtracted. If the game is won this time, the count value of the software counter that manages the number of RB or SRB wins is decremented by one. Further, when the count value of any one of these software counters becomes 0, a normal game is set as the gaming state during the RB game, and a BB general game is set during the SRB game. As a result, the next game becomes a normal game or a BB general game.

  In step S150, it is determined whether or not the current game is a game in the SB game. If the current game is a game in the SB game, the process proceeds to step S156, and the process in the SB game is performed. Here, one software counter for managing the number of games played in the SB game is subtracted. Since the SB game ends in one game, the SB game ends in the game, and the normal game is set as the gaming state substantially as in step S151. As a result, the BB game ends, and the next game becomes the normal game. On the other hand, when the current game is not a game in the SB game, the process is terminated.

<Processing of sub-control unit A>
Next, processing of the sub control unit A400 will be described. FIG. 11A is a flowchart of interrupt processing executed by the CPU 410 of the sub-control unit A400, and FIG. 11B is a flowchart of main processing executed by the CPU 410 of the sub-control unit A400. First, interrupt processing will be described with reference to FIG. The CPU 410 performs the process of FIG.

  In step S201, it is determined whether a command from the main control unit 300 has been received. When the command from the main control unit 300 is received, the process proceeds to step S202, and when the command from the main control unit 300 is not received, the process ends.

  In step S202, commands received from the main control unit 300 are sequentially stored in a predetermined area (referred to as a command storage area) of the RAM 413 without being overwritten.

  Next, the main process will be described with reference to FIG. In step S211, it is determined whether or not at least one command is stored in the command storage area. When the command is stored, the process proceeds to step S212, and when the command is not stored, the process returns to step S211.

  In step S212, one command is acquired from the command storage area, and its content is determined. The acquired command is deleted from the command storage area. In step S213, effect data is acquired according to the determination result of step S212. In step S214, it is determined whether the effect data acquired in step S213 includes data to be output to the driver of each effect device of the sub-control unit A400. When there is data to be output to the driver of each production device of the sub-control unit A400, the process proceeds to step S215, and when there is no data to be output to the driver of each production device of the sub-control unit A400, the process proceeds to step S216.

  In step S215, data is set in the driver of the rendering device of the sub control unit A400. The production device executes the production according to the data by setting the data.

  In step S216, it is determined whether or not there is a command to be transmitted to the sub control unit B500 in the effect data acquired in step S213. When there is a command to be transmitted to the sub control unit B500, the process proceeds to step S217, and when there is no command to be transmitted to the sub control unit B500, the process returns to step 211.

  In step S217, a command is transmitted to the sub control unit B500, and the process returns to step S211.

<Notification at AT>
The slot machine 100 according to the present embodiment has an AT (assist time) function, and the sub-control unit A400 performs an AT lottery under a predetermined condition. Information on the winning combination is notified. Specifically, when the sub-control unit A400 internally wins either the SB internal winning command (SB / pocket 1, SB / pocket 2, or SB / pocket 3) from the main controller 300. 11), the AT lottery process is performed in the effect data acquisition process of step S213 in FIG. 11, and after winning the AT, the internal winning combination 1 to 3 in the predetermined number of games thereafter. The information regarding is performed. Announcement of information related to internal winning prizes means, for example, that when multiple winning prizes are won at the same time, an announcement that multiple winning prizes have been won at the same time, and an advantageous winning combination among the winning prizes. Notification of information about the corresponding pattern combination, when the reel stop operation position is a winning condition, notification of information about the reel stop operation position, and when the reel stop operation order is a winning condition And notification of information related to the order of reel stop operations. FIG. 13A shows an example of the winning probability and the number of notification setting games in the AT lottery process. In this case, when the AT lottery is won, information on the winning small combination is notified in 1000 games thereafter.

  In this embodiment, the trigger for performing the AT lottery is the reception of the SB internal winning command. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the AT lottery is performed for each game. Alternatively, an AT lottery may be performed at the time of BB internal winning. Furthermore, for example, the conditions such that the number of wins for SB has reached a predetermined number, the total number of winnings for small roles 1 to 3 has reached a predetermined number, and the number of games in a normal game has reached a predetermined number of times, etc. When equipped, an AT lottery may be performed. Further, even during the set 1000 games, an AT lottery may be further performed. When the AT lottery is further won, the number of notification games to be set is added to the current number of notification games. May be. Furthermore, the notification of the information related to the internal winning prize is not necessarily limited to during the AT, and even if not winning during the AT, the information related to the internal winning prize is notified when winning by a predetermined lottery. You may do it.

  FIG. 13B is a time chart specifically showing the relationship between AT lottery (notification lottery) and notification. As shown in FIG. 13B, when the AT lottery is won, the notification setting is set to ON for a predetermined number of games (for example, 1000 games). And, when this notification setting is set to ON, if an internal winning is given to any of the small combinations 1 / SB, small combinations 2 / SB, or small combinations 3 / SB, a notification regarding the winning combination winning in the inside is given. Done. Note that the notification setting is continuously set to ON even if there is a game state transition. For example, as shown in FIG. 13B, the BB is won and the normal game is changed to the BB general game. The notification setting is not cleared even after shifting to.

  FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating an example of a notification mode during AT. FIG. 14A shows a case where a winning combination 1 / SB is won in the winning combination internal lottery, and FIG. 14B shows a case where a winning combination 2 / SB is won in the winning combination internal drawing. ) Shows a notification mode when winning a small combination 3 / SB in a winning combination internal lottery and a display result when a stop operation is performed according to the notification mode. For example, in FIG. 14A, since there is a notification that “the left reel aims at bell 1”, the player should stop the design of “bell 1” on the winning line 114 when the left reel 110 is stopped. Stop operation. Next, in the middle reel 111 and the right reel 112, a stop operation is performed in order to stop the “bell 1” pattern on the winning line 114 (for the middle reel 111 and the right reel 112, refer to FIG. 5). Can easily align the bell 1 pattern).

  As described above, during the AT, the picture of the winning small role is accurately notified, so that the player can easily arrange the notified small roles. In other words, when there was no notification, it was a stop operation without knowing that any of the small roles 1 to 3 was internally won, so there was a case where a prize was missed. Since it is possible to grasp which of the winning combinations 1 to 3 is won internally, it is possible to perform a more reliable stop operation in order to win a small winning combination.

  In addition, although the example shown in FIG. 14 was the alerting | reporting by the image | video through the liquid crystal display device 180, you may perform alerting | reporting with an audio | voice instead of or in addition to this. In addition, when there is a notification regarding the left reel 110 as shown in FIGS. 14A to 14C and the player performs a stop operation, the “SIN” pattern on the left reel 110 stops on the winning line 114. May output a failure sound (for example, a sound such as “bubu”). This is because, as described above, for the player, when the stop operation for winning the SB is to miss another small part, the player is encouraged to execute a game that does not win the SB. Is.

  FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating another example of a notification mode during AT. In the example shown in FIG. 15, when a plurality of winning combinations are simultaneously won internally, all winning winning combinations are notified. This is because if a plurality of winning combinations are won internally and only one winning combination is notified, and the other winning combination is won, the player may mistakenly think that BB has been won internally. (In the conventional slot machine, for example, if there is a notification that the replay has been won internally, and as a result of executing the game, the bell has won a prize, such false notification means that BB internal winning In order to eliminate such a misunderstanding as much as possible, this notification mode is adopted.

  More specifically, as shown in FIG. 15 (a), when the internal winning is made to the small role 3 / SB, the fact that the internal winning is made to the small role 3 / SB is notified, and an advantageous winning combination ( In this case, as a notification of information relating to the pattern combination corresponding to the small role 3), the left reel notifies that “Bell 3” is aimed. As a result, when the player performs a stop operation on the first stop reel (the reel that has been stopped first; the left reel 110 in the example shown in FIG. 15) and the pattern of the first stop reel is displayed, Depending on the result, as shown in FIGS. 15B and 15C, the second stop reel, the third stop reel (the second and third stop-operated reels; the middle reel 111 in the example shown in FIG. 15) , Notification about the pattern combination corresponding to the winning combination of the right reel 112) is performed. Specifically, when the symbol “Bell 3” is notified to the left reel 110 and the symbol “Bell 3” is displayed on the symbol display window 113 of the left reel 110, the middle reel 111 is displayed. As for the right reel 112, the “Bell 1” pattern is aligned on the winning line 114 regardless of the stop operation position of the player, and as shown in FIG. Is done. On the other hand, when the “SIN” pattern is displayed on the left reel 110 in the pattern display window 113, there is no possibility of winning the small role 3 at this stage. The combination (in this case, SB) is notified, that is, the middle reel 111 and the right reel 112 are notified so as to aim for the “SIN” pattern. Further, when there is no possibility of winning any winning combination as a result of the reel stop operation, the notification may be canceled as shown in FIG.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when a plurality of winning combinations are won at the same time in the internal winning lottery, a notification regarding all of the winning winning combinations is given and the most advantageous winning combination among the winning winning combinations is given. Informing about the role is also performed. Further, notification is switched according to the operation result of the first stop reel, and notification regarding an advantageous winning combination is performed at that time. Furthermore, when the possibility of winning for any winning combination disappears as a result of the reel stop operation, the notification is stopped.

FIG. 16 shows three cases where there is no notification by the AT, when there is a notification by the AT, and when all of the small roles 1 to 3 and the SB are won at the same time and all the SBs are won. The number of games (for example, the number of 33 games) and the respective game results when the game is advanced are compared. Here, the game result 1 is a case where there is no notification by the AT, and the player shows a result when he / she is playing a game while wishing to avoid only the SB winning due to the game nature of the slot machine 100. In addition, the game result 2 is a case where there is a notification by the AT, and when the small roles 1 to 3 are internally elected, there is a notification regarding the picture of the winning combination, and as a result, all of the small roles 1 to 3 are awarded. The result is shown. Further, the game result 3 shows a result when the SB is always won when the small roles 1 to 3 and the SB are simultaneously won.

  FIG. 17 is a graph showing the number of acquired medals in the above three cases. Here, the number of acquired medals means a net increase in the number of medals, and specifically shows the number obtained by subtracting the number of inserted medals from the number of paid out medals. As shown in FIG. 17, the game result 2 has the largest number of medals and the game result 3 has the smallest number of medals. As described above, it is understood that when there is a notification by the AT, the medal can be obtained most, and as a result, the SB winning cannot obtain the medal.

  As described above, in the slot machine 100 according to the present embodiment, the small combinations 1 to 3 are provided as the winning combinations provided with the same privilege, and the small combinations 1 to 3 and the SB can be simultaneously selected with lottery data. When the winning combination 1 to 3 and SB are won at the same time, it is possible to win any one of the small combinations 1 to 3 or SB. In this case, since the small roles 1 to 3 are more advantageous than SB, the player advances the game while aiming at the small roles 1 to 3 in the normal game. I don't know if any of these are won internally, so I might miss a prize. That is, even a skilled person cannot win all small roles. On the other hand, when there is a notification by the AT, when any of the small roles 1 to 3 is internally elected, a notification regarding the selected small role is performed, so even a non-expert can win the small role. it can. As described above, in the present embodiment, in the lottery of winning combinations, even if it has a gameability that can win a plurality of winning combinations at the same time, regardless of skilled or non-experts, Can participate in games.

  Further, in the present embodiment, if an SB is to be won in a normal game, the small roles 1 to 3 are inevitably not won. Therefore, in the normal game, the game is not aimed at the SB. Since this is a game required for both skilled and non-skilled persons, it is possible to enhance the interest of both skilled and non-skilled persons.

<Other embodiments>
While the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, various modifications and changes can be made to the embodiments of the present invention without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, in the stop data of the above-described embodiment, a setting is made in which a plurality of winning combinations do not overlap, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a setting for overlapping a plurality of winning combinations Also good. In this case, unlike the pattern arrangement of each reel shown in FIG. 5, a pattern arrangement capable of overlapping winning is applied to each reel.

  FIG. 18 shows the stop data T1 when the small combination 1 / SB is won internally, but the stop data T1 is stop data that may win the small combination 1 and SB at the same time. More specifically, the stop data T1 includes (1) stop data that simultaneously wins or loses the small role 1 and SB, (2) simultaneously wins the small role 1 and SB, wins the SB, bell 1 Stop data that wins or loses, (3) Stops data that wins the small role 1 and SB simultaneously, Stops data that wins or loses the SB, (4) Bells that simultaneously win the small role 1 and SB, Bell Either stop data that wins 1 or loses is set.

  Therefore, according to this modified example, when the small winning 1 / SB is won internally during the AT, the number of medals increases by executing the game according to the notification, and in the next game (combination game) than the normal game Since the game can be performed in an advantageous state, the simultaneous winning of the small role / SB is the most advantageous state for the player. Note that the winning symbol combination in this modification is not limited to the symbol combination shown in FIG. 6, and another symbol combination may be set as the winning combination. For example, the winning pattern combination of SB may be set as “Bell 1−Bell 1−Replay” to extend the reel stoppable range and make it easier to win.

  FIG. 19 shows stop data in the second embodiment of the present invention. As a premise, there are no small combination 2 and small combination 3 in the winning combination of the second embodiment. In other words, in the present embodiment, only the small combination 1 is the only winning combination that is won simultaneously with SB. Further, the pattern arrangement of each reel in the second embodiment is different from that shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 19A, in the winning combination internal lottery process in step S105, when the small combination 1 / SB is won, in the reel stop data selection process in step S106, stop data lottery according to the internal lottery result And one stop data is selected by lottery. Here, the selected stop data T1 to T3 are stop data corresponding to the stop operation position. For example, the stop data T1 is a picture of the left reel 110 that is stopped at the middle position of the picture display window 113. When the pattern positions are Nos. 1 to 7, “Bell 1-Bell 1-Bell 1” pattern combinations corresponding to the small role 1 are arranged. Therefore, in the present embodiment, every time a small combination 1 is won from among a plurality of pieces of stop information with different conditions for stopping and displaying the pattern combination corresponding to the small combination 1 on the winning line (the small combination 1 / SB) Every time you win simultaneously, there is stop information to be selected. Since this stop information is stop data corresponding to the stop operation position, the information about the stop operation position of the reel by the AT, that is, the left reel is provided with the symbols 1 to 21. In order to win the winning combination 1, for example, if a stop operation is performed when “pattern positions 1 to 7” are in the middle position of the pattern display window 113, a notification that the small role 1 stops in the pattern display window 113 is given. .

  The notification at this time is to notify a picture that is most easily identified by the player among the pictures set corresponding to the corresponding picture number and that is not set at other picture positions. May be. Taking FIG. 5 as an example, if there is a notification that a stop operation is performed aiming at the vicinity of “333”, it is possible to generally win the small combination 1.

When there is no notification regarding the reel display area by the AT, it is not known at which position the stop operation should be performed, and the winning of the small part 1 may be missed. On the other hand, when there is a notification regarding the display area of the reel by the AT, there is a notification that serves as a guide for the stop operation position, so that the player can win the small role 1 more reliably. During AT, stop data lottery is not performed, and any one stop data may be used (for example, stop data T1 is used during AT). In this case, stop data used during AT is used. The stop operation position where the pattern combinations corresponding to the small role 1 are aligned may be notified (for example, in the case of the stop data T1, the patterns of the pattern positions 1 to 7 are displayed at the middle position of the pattern display window 113. In some cases, a notification is given to stop the operation).

  Note that FIG. 19B shows a modification of the present embodiment. When not in AT, stop data T1 to T3 shown in FIG. 19A are used, but during AT, FIG. 19B is used. The reel stop control is performed using the stop data T4 shown in FIG. In the stop data T4, when the stop operation is performed when the patterns at the pattern positions 1 to 21 are in the middle position of the pattern display window 113, the pattern combinations of “bell 1−bell 1−bell 1” corresponding to the small role 1 are arranged. Since it is stop data, the pattern combination of “Bell 1−Bell 1−Bell 1” is always prepared during AT.

  FIG. 20 shows stop data in the third embodiment of the present invention. As a premise, there are no small combination 2 and small combination 3 in the winning combination of the third embodiment. In other words, in the present embodiment, only the small combination 1 is the only winning combination that is won simultaneously with SB. Further, the pattern arrangement of each reel of the third embodiment is different from that shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 20 (a), in the winning combination internal lottery process in step S105, when the small combination 1 / SB is won, in the reel stop data selection process in step S106, stop data lottery according to the internal lottery result And one stop data is selected by lottery. Here, the selected stop data T1 to T3 are stop data set according to the stop operation order for each reel (reels 110 to 112), and are, for example, stop data corresponding to the first stop reel. For example, in the stop data T1, when the first stop is the left reel, the pattern combination “Bell 1−Bell 1−Bell 1” corresponding to the small role 1 is arranged. Therefore, in the present embodiment, since the stop data corresponds to the first stop reel, when there is no notification of the stop operation order with respect to the reels during AT, it is not clear which reel should be stopped first. In some cases, you may miss the prize for small role 1. On the other hand, when there is a notification of the stop operation order for the reels during the AT, the first stop reel is notified, so that the player can win the small role 1 more reliably. During AT, stop data lottery is not performed, and any one stop data may be used (for example, stop data T1 is used during AT). In this case, stop data used during AT is used. In this case, information regarding the first reel in which the pattern combination corresponding to the small combination 1 is prepared may be notified (for example, in the case of the stop data T1, a notification that the first stop is the left reel 110 is notified. ).

  FIG. 20B shows a modification of the present embodiment. When the AT is not being performed, the stop data T1 to T3 shown in FIG. 20A are used, but when the AT is being performed, FIG. Reel stop control is performed using the stop data T4 shown in (b). The stop data T4 is stop data in which the symbol combination “Bell 1−Bell 1−Bell 1” corresponding to the small role 1 is prepared regardless of which reel the first stop is, so during AT, The pattern combination "Bell 1-Bell 1-Bell 1" is always available.
