As shown in the figure, each reel 110 to 112 has a plurality of types of symbols arranged in a predetermined number of frames (21 frames in this case). In the symbol display window 113, three frames out of 21 frames are displayed.

  Symbol numbers 1 to 21 shown at the left end of FIG. 4 are numbers indicating in which position on the reel each symbol is arranged, that is, a symbol arrangement position on the reel. There is a one-to-one correspondence between the symbol number and the symbol. For example, a replay symbol is assigned to the frame of symbol number 1 on the left reel 110, a red 7 symbol is assigned to the frame of symbol number 1 of the middle reel 111, and the right reel 112 A bell symbol is arranged on the frame of symbol number 1. Similarly, a red cherry symbol is placed on the frame of symbol number 2 on the left reel 110, a replay symbol is placed on the frame of symbol number 2 on the middle reel 111, and a replay symbol is placed on the frame of symbol number 2 on the right reel 112. Has been.

  In FIG. 4, each symbol is shown in simplified form, but actually, various designs, for example, “bell” can be used to draw a picture or the like imitating a yellow bell. The blank frame is a blank symbol, and is a symbol on which nothing is printed (or a symbol not related to winning).

<Winner>
FIG. 5 shows a payout table related to winning in the first embodiment. As shown in the figure, the winning combinations include RB, Red 7 small role, Red Cherry small role, Blue Cherry small role, Black Cherry small role, Bell small role, Watermelon small role, and Replay. is there. Here, the regular bonus (RB) is distinguished from a winning combination as an “acting combination” as a symbol for shifting to a bonus game, and a replay is a symbol that can be replayed without inserting a new medal. Although sometimes called, the “winning combination” in the present embodiment includes RB and replay, and the “winning” in the present embodiment includes winning in RB and replay. In addition, when the red 7 small role, the red cherry small role, the blue cherry small role, and the black cherry small role are winning combinations, the RT1, RT2, RT3, and RT4 game states are activated. Therefore, it is assumed that RT1, RT2, RT3, and RT4 are included in the combination and winning combination. Further, in the present embodiment, as described later, eight gaming states of a general gaming state, an RB internal winning state, an RB gaming state, an RT1 gaming state, an RT2 gaming state, an RT3 gaming state, an RT4 gaming state, and an RT5 gaming state. In each gaming state, the above-mentioned winning combination is provided (RB does not exist in the RB internal winning state and the RB gaming state)

Also, when the watermelon-watermelon-watermelon symbol combination is aligned with any of the winning lines 114, a watermelon small role is won and 10 medals are paid out. When the replay-replay-replay symbol combination is aligned with any of the winning lines 114, the replay is won and the next game can be performed without inserting medals.

  In addition to this, in the present embodiment, when the above-described red 7-red 7-red 7 symbol combination is aligned with any of the winning lines 114, the gaming state of RT (replay time) 1 starts from the next game. Is done. Here, the replay time refers to a gaming state in which the winning probability of replaying (replay) is higher than that in the general gaming state, and in the present embodiment, five RTs (RT1 to RT5) are provided. Note that the RT1 gaming state is continued until RB is internally won.

  In addition, when the above-mentioned red cherry-ANY-ANY, blue cherry-ANY-ANY, and black cherry-ANY-ANY symbol combinations are aligned on any of the winning lines 114, the gaming states of RT2, RT3, and RT4, respectively. Be started. Note that the gaming states of RT2, RT3, and RT4 each end with one game. When the RB game (RB game state) is finished, the RT5 game state is started and the game ends with 500 games.

  Next, based on the winning combination of the first embodiment described above, the playability of the first embodiment will be briefly described. In the present embodiment, in the RT1 or RT5 gaming state in which the RT gaming state is continued for a relatively long period of time, the cherry small part (specifically, one of the red cherry, blue cherry, or black cherry small part) is internally included. When winning (hereinafter simply referred to as winning), the player is notified that the cherry has been won up to a predetermined number of notifications (hereinafter referred to as the maximum number of notifications). It is also possible to aim for and remove the cherry prize. That is, the player can select two game abilities, and when he wants to continue the replay time, the player wins the cherry (when the player wins the cherry as described above, the RT1 or RT5 gaming state ends, and RT2, RT3, or RT4 In order to win a medal, a stop operation is performed so that a cherry win is achieved. As described above, the present embodiment is provided with a high degree of freedom that can entertain a variety of players such as a player who wants entertainment and a player who wants to acquire many medals.

<Basic control of games>
Next, the operation of the slot machine 100 having the above-described features will be described with reference to FIGS. Here, FIG. 6 is a flowchart of the main process of the main control unit showing the basic control of the game in the slot machine 100. The basic control of the game is performed mainly by the CPU 310 of the main control unit 300, and the process shown in FIG. FIG. 7 is a flowchart of interrupt processing executed by the CPU 310 of the main control unit 300. The CPU 410 performs the processing shown in the figure at a predetermined cycle (about 2 msec).

  First, the main process of the main control unit will be described with reference to FIG.

  In step S10, processing relating to medal insertion is performed, whether or not medals have been inserted is checked, and a prescribed number of medal insertions is set (validation lines 114 corresponding to the inserted medals are activated). In the present embodiment, when one or more medals are inserted, it is checked whether or not the start lever 135 has been operated, and processing related to accepting a game start operation is performed. Whether or not the start lever 135 is operated by the player is determined by inputting a detection signal from the start lever sensor 322.

  In step S20, a random number generated by the random number generation circuit 317 is acquired, and a winning combination determination process is performed. The winning combination determination process includes the acquired random number value, the gaming state (for example, information indicating the current gaming state stored in the gaming state flag storage area provided in the RAM 313), and the winning combination lottery table stored in the ROM 312. Is used for the internal lottery of the winning combination. If any of the winning combinations is won as a result of the internal lottery, the winning combination flag set in the RAM 313 is turned ON (the internal winning information is stored in the RAM 313). Remembered). Examples of the combination include replay (replay), small combination, bonus (RB), and loss.

  Each winning combination has a winning probability of internal lottery set for each bet number of medals and set values (1 to 6), and the winning combination lottery table is configured according to this, and a random value obtained at the time of the lottery The range (for example, 0 to 65535) is divided in advance into several regions (regions corresponding to the size of each winning probability), and each region is associated with winning or losing of each combination. Then, whether or not the winning combination is determined depends on which range the acquired random number value belongs to. This method is also employed in other lottery processes (such as production lottery).

  FIG. 8 shows an example of the winning combination lottery table TA10 used in the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 8, the winning combination lottery table TA10 has winning determination information for each gaming state, and the winning determination information has a random number range for each winning combination (FIG. 8 (a )reference). The hyphen ("-") in the table indicates that the role is not won. Note that the total random number range (number of random numbers) is 65536, and a value from 0 to 65535 is assigned to each winning combination (for example, in the general gaming state, RB is 0 to 217, bell is 218 to 1527). Also, black cherry is assigned a range of 15292 to 21845). Further, in the winning combination lottery table TA10 shown in FIG. 8, the random number range is a continuous numerical range, but the random number range is not limited to the continuous range, and may be composed of jumping numerical values. .

  For example, in the RB gaming state, when the value of the acquired random number is 50000, the range of random numbers for which the small part of the red cherry is won is 45872 to 52425. In the RB gaming state, when the value of the random number acquired is 65534, the range of random numbers for which replay is won is 65534 to 65534, so that the player has won the replay become. FIG. 8B is a value obtained by dividing each numerical value shown in FIG. 8A by the total random number range (number of random numbers) 65536, and shows the winning probability for each combination.

  In the winning combination lottery table TA10 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, in the RB gaming state, the winning probability of the small part of the bell and the watermelon is set higher than that in the general gaming state, and replay and loss Since the winning probability is set to be extremely low, the RB gaming state can acquire more medals and is a gaming state advantageous to the player. Further, in the RT1 and RT5 gaming states, the probability of winning for replay is set to be considerably higher than in the general gaming state, so the RT1 gaming state and the RT5 gaming state are advantageous to the player because there is little loss of medals. It is in a gaming state. In addition, regarding the cherry small combination having three kinds of symbol combinations, the winning probabilities of the red cherry, the blue cherry and the black cherry are respectively set to be the same, so that the advantages of winning are the same.

  FIG. 9 shows another form of the winning combination lottery table TA10 shown in FIG. (Ie shows the same content). In addition, regarding the loss, it is checked whether or not each role is won from the above line, and if it is not won for any of the roles, it is determined that the game has been won (determined as the winning role). Yes. For example, in the case of the general gaming state, RT1 to RT5 gaming state, when the obtained random number value is 200, it means that RB has been won, but in the RB internal winning state and RB gaming state, the row of RB Is not referred to, and it is won by the small part of the bell (the range of random numbers is 0 to 1309 and 0 to 44559, respectively). In the case of the RT4 gaming state, when the value of the acquired random number is 30826, the replay (RT1) to replay (RT3) and replay (RT5) lines are not referenced, and replay (RT4) Only rows are referenced. Since the range of random numbers in this row is 2184-30826, the player has won the replay. Similarly, in the case of the RT2 gaming state, when the obtained random number value is 30286, the replay (RT1) and replay (RT3) to replay (RT5) lines are not referred to, and replay (RT2) is related to replay. ) Is referenced only. Since the range of random numbers in this row is 21846-30824, it is not won for replay, but is won for loss. As described above, various implementation forms of the winning combination lottery table TA10 are assumed and may be forms other than those shown in FIGS. 8 and 9. For example, the winning determination information is directly displayed on the program. It may be coded to correspond as program logic. For example, taking the general gaming state in FIG. 8 as an example, if the obtained random number value is 0 or more and 217 or less, the RB flag set in the RAM 313 is turned on, and similarly if it is 218 or more and 1527 or less. Turn on the Bell's small role flag ... If it is 30824 or more and 65535 or less, the control flow such as turning on the loss flag (or not turning on any flag) may be coded directly on the program. Good.

  Next, in step S30, stop table determination processing is performed. This is a process of selecting a stop table, and reel stop control is performed based on the selected stop table. Here, the stop control of the reels 110 to 112 will be briefly described. The reel stop control is performed based on the selected stop table by selecting one of a plurality of predetermined stop tables based on the lottery result of the winning combination. The stop table is stored in the ROM 312 of the main control unit 300. The stop table is either the winning role or the so-called flag carryover (if the RB is won but the RB is not won in that game, the next game and after will be won until the win) For the winning combination, the corresponding symbol combinations are allowed to be displayed together, but otherwise, the symbol combinations corresponding to each winning combination are not displayed together. For example, when the cherry small combination is not won, even if the reels 110 to 112 are stopped at the timing when the cherry symbol combination is displayed, the reels 110 to 112 are not immediately stopped and the cherry symbols are not immediately stopped. Control is performed so that combinations are not aligned. This is called kicking control. On the other hand, if the cherry is won, even if the reels 110 to 112 are not stopped at the timing when the symbols constituting the cherry symbol combination are displayed at positions along the winning line 114. In a certain range, the reels 110 to 112 are controlled not to stop immediately but to delay the time to stop so that the cherry symbol combinations are aligned. Here, 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 retracted frames is increased, the more the reels are slid and the stop is stopped). However, if there are too many, it will give the player the unnatural feeling that the reel is rotating despite the stopping operation. It is preferable to set the stop permission position at an interval of (in this embodiment, a maximum of 4 frames slip). This is called pull-in control.

  FIG. 10 shows an example of a stop number selection table TA20 for selecting a stop table used in the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 10, the stop number selection table TA20 is configured to select a stop table based on the gaming state and the winning combination determined in the winning combination determining process in step S20. Here, the stop number is identification information that can uniquely identify the stop table. Specifically, the stop number 0 is a stop table that controls stop of the symbol combination corresponding to the RB, and the stop number 1 is red 7 A stop table for stop-controlling the symbol combination corresponding to the small combination, stop number 2 is a stop table for controlling stop of the symbol combination corresponding to the bell small combination, and stop number 3 is a symbol combination corresponding to the small combination of watermelon A stop table for stop control, stop number 4 is a stop table for stop control of symbol combinations corresponding to replay, stop number 5 is a stop table for stop control of symbol combinations corresponding to loss, and stop number 6 is a chance number. A stop table for stop-controlling the symbol combination of No. 7, stop number 7 is a stop table for stop-controlling a symbol combination corresponding to the red cherry small role, and stop number 8 is a blue cherry Stop table to stop controlling the symbol combination corresponding to the small win, stop number 9 has a stop table to stop controlling the symbol combination corresponding to the small role of black cherry.

  Note that the numerical values shown in the table of the stop number selection table TA20 indicate the range of random numbers as in the winning combination lottery table TA10, and a random number range is assigned to each stop number. That is, the total random number range (number of random numbers) is 16, and a value from 0 to 15 is assigned to each stop number (for example, stop number selection referred to when RB is won in the general gaming state) Data is assigned a range of 1 to 15 for stop number 0 and 0 for stop number 6).

  For this reason, as shown in FIG. 10 (a), for example, when an RB is won in the general gaming state, a stop table with stop number 0 is selected with a probability of 1/16 and stop number 6 with a probability of 15/16. The stop table is selected. In addition, when a red 7 small combination is won in the general gaming state, the stop table of stop number 1 is selected with a probability of 16/16. Also, as shown in FIG. 10 (b), for example, when the small role of red 7 is won in the RB internal winning state, the stop table of stop number 1 is selected with a probability of 16/16, and FIG. As shown in c), for example, when the red cherry small combination is won in all gaming states, the stop table with stop number 7 is selected with a probability of 16/16.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the winning result and the stop table do not necessarily correspond one-to-one (when the above-mentioned RB is won), but the winning combination and the stop table are provided for all winning combinations. The stop number selection table TA20 may be configured to correspond one-to-one. The contents of the stop table will be described in detail in the reel stop control process described later.

  Next, in step S40, an effect command determination process is performed. This is a process of determining an effect using an effect lamp, the liquid crystal display device 180, a reel backlight, and the like by lottery based on the gaming state and the internal winning result.

  FIG. 15A shows an example of an effect command selection table TA40 used in the present embodiment for selecting an effect command. The effect command selection table TA40 is configured to select an effect command based on the gaming state and the winning combination determined in the winning combination determining process in step S20. FIG. 15A shows an effect command selection table TA40 used when a red cherry small combination, a blue cherry small combination, or a black cherry small combination is won in the RT1 or RT5 gaming state of the present embodiment. Is shown. Here, like the winning combination lottery table TA10, the numerical values shown in the table of the production command selection table TA40 indicate the range of random numbers, and for each winning combination, the number of RT continuing games (for example, start RT) A random number range is assigned to the production command according to the number of games played afterwards. That is, the total random number range (number of random numbers) is 16, and a value from 0 to 15 is assigned to each effect command. For example, in the game in which the red cherry small role is won, when the number of RT continued games is 5 and the acquired random number is 14, the production command 11 is selected, and the blue In the game where the cherry small role is won, when the number of continued RT games is 30 and the acquired random number is 14, the production command is not selected (the main control unit 300 sends the production command to the sub-control unit 400). Do not send). The number of RT continued games refers to the number of games since the transition to the RT gaming state (for example, a game other than the RT1 gaming state or the gaming state transitions from the gaming state other than the RT1 gaming state or the gaming state other than the RT5 gaming state). The number of times the player has started or ended the game after the game state has transitioned from the state to the RT5 game state), and the RT continued game number is stored by the game number counter provided in the RAM 313. .

  Here, the feature of the effect command selection table TA40 in the present embodiment is that the probability of selecting an effect command decreases as the number of RT continuous games increases. For example, in the game where the red cherry small role is won, the probability that the production command 11 is selected is 16/16 when the number of RT continuous games is between 0 and 30 times, and the number of RT continuous games is 31 to 60 times. When it is between, it is selected at 12/16, when the number of RT continuous games is between 61 and 90 times, 8/16, and when the number of RT continuous games is 90 times or more, it is selected at 4/16.

  As described above, in this embodiment, in the RT1 or RT5 game state, the probability of selecting the effect command is set to be lower as the number of RT continued games increases.

  FIG. 15C is an example of the effect command content table TA50-1, and shows the effect content of the liquid crystal display device 180 corresponding to the effect command. For example, the production command 11 displays a message “Red Cherry 100%?” On the liquid crystal display device 180, which suggests that the red cherry small role has been won. In addition, the production command 21 is a message “Blue Cherry 100%?” That suggests that a small cherry blue role has been won, and the production command 31 is a message “Black Cherry 100 that suggests that a black cherry small role has been won. %? ”Is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 180. That is, in the present embodiment, in the RT1 or RT5 gaming state, when a cherry small combination is won, a message indicating that the cherry small combination has been won is notified with a predetermined probability (hereinafter, referred to as “cherry small combination”). This notification is referred to as a winning combination notification), and when the winning combination notification is performed, the player can grasp the small part of the cherry won in the game. However, as the number of games played at RT increases, the probability that the production commands 11, 21, and 31 are selected decreases as shown in FIG. The probability is high and it becomes difficult to grasp the winning combination, and even if the RT1 or RT5 gaming state is continued, it becomes difficult to prevent the winning cherry from winning.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, the maximum number of notifications is determined in advance, and the notification regarding the small part of the winning cherry is performed only up to the maximum number of notifications. From this point of view, RT1 or RT5 The game state is prevented from continuing for a long time, and the transition to another game state is promoted. Note that the maximum number of notifications is determined in advance by a predetermined method and stored in the RAM 313, and the number of execution notifications is counted by a notification number counter provided in the RAM 313.

  The production command selection table TA40 may have a configuration as shown in FIG. 15B in addition to the configuration as shown in FIG. That is, a plurality of effect commands corresponding to the winning combination may be provided, and one of the effect commands may be selected from the plurality of effect commands. And the information regarding the reliability of alerting | reporting may be set finely to the production content corresponding to each of several production commands. For example, as shown in FIG. 15 (b), when a small red cherry role is selected, an effect command is selected from the effect commands 11, 12, 13, and 14, and the contents of the effect commands 11 to 14 are respectively “Red cherry 100%”, “Red cherry 70%”, “Red cherry 30%”, and “Red cherry 0%”.

  In this case, as shown in FIG. 15B, in the RT1 or RT5 game state, when the number of RT continuous games increases, the probability that a highly reliable production command of production content is low is low. The probability that a production command with a low production content is selected is set high. For this reason, if the number of games in RT increases, the player is often informed of the contents of the performance with low reliability, so it becomes difficult to correctly grasp the winning part of the winning cherry, and the RT1 or RT5 game Even if you try to keep the state, it will be difficult to prevent the winning cherry from winning.

  In the effect command selection table TA40 shown in FIGS. 15 (a) and 15 (b), the effect command for informing about the winning combination is selected, but it has nothing to do with the actual winning combination. It is possible to select an effect command for notifying that the winning combination has been won (gase notification). In this case, as the number of RT continued games increases, the selection probability of the effect command for performing the gase notification increases. May be set. For example, considering a game where the winning role is black cherry, if the number of continuous games is 0 or more and 30 games or less, the effect command 31 is selected at 16/16, and if the number of games is 31 games or more and 60 games or less, it is 12/16. The production command 31 and 3/16 select the production command 32, and the 1/16 production command 13 is selected. If the game is 61 games or more and 90 games or less, the production commands 31 and 2/16 are production commands 32, 2/16. 16 to produce command 13 and 2/16 to produce command 33 and 2/16 to select production command 12, and 4/16 to produce command 31 and 1/16 to produce command 32 and 3/16 The production command 13 and 1/16 select the production command 33, 3/16 the production command 12 and 1/16 the production command 34 and 3/16 select the production command 11 It may be so that. In this case, in a game in which the number of RT continuous games is 50 games and the winning role is black cherry, 1/16, a gaze notification such as “Red cherry 30%?” Based on the production command 13 is made, and the RT continuous game number is 80 games. In a game in which the winning role is black cherry, a gaze notification such as “Red cherry 30%?” Based on the production command 13 will be made on 2/16, and 61 games are more than in the case where the number of RT continuous games is less than 61 games. In the case described above, the probability of performing the gas notification is increased.

  Next, in step S50, the effect command selected in step S40 is transmitted to the sub-control unit 400. The sub-control unit 400 sets data in the driver of the effect device (for example, an effect lamp, the liquid crystal display device 180, etc.) based on the transmitted effect command. The production device executes the production according to the data by setting the data.

  In step S60, in response to the detection signal from the start lever sensor 322, rotation of all the reels 110 to 112 is started. Specifically, information indicating a reel rotation start instruction is stored in a reel state storage area provided in the RAM 313.

  In step S70, it is determined whether all the rotating reels have stopped. When any of the stop buttons is pressed in a state where the left, middle and right stop buttons provided in the stop button unit 136 can be received, that is, when a detection signal from the stop button sensor 323 is input. The reel corresponding to the stop button stops. Details of the reel stop control will be described later in the interrupt process.

  In step S80, a winning combination determination process is performed. Here, when the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination or the combination carrying over the flag is displayed on the activated pay line 114, and the operation symbol combination for shifting the gaming state to the RT1 to RT4 gaming state. It is determined that the winning combination has been won when the stop combination is displayed. Remember). For example, if “bell-bell-bell” is arranged on the activated winning line 114, it is determined that the player has won the bell (the winning combination is determined to be bell). Further, a flag indicating that the winning combination is a bell is set in a winning flag storage area provided in the RAM 313 corresponding to the winning combination.

  In step S90, a predetermined number of medals are paid out for the combination determined as the winning combination. For example, if the winning combination is a bell small combination, 15 is added or reset to the value of the medal payout number counter provided in the RAM 313 to pay out 15 medals as shown in FIG. Information indicating a medal payout start instruction is stored in a medal payout state storage area provided in the RAM 313.

  In step S100, game state update processing is executed. In this game state update process, control for shifting the game state is performed. For example, in the case of a bonus winning such as RB, preparation is made so that the corresponding RB can be started from the next time, and the final game of the bonus game (RB) is performed. In, prepare for the general game to start from the next time. For example, when RB is determined as a winning combination in the winning combination determining process S90, a flag indicating the RB gaming state is set in the gaming state flag storage area provided in the RAM 313, and the winning combination determining process in the next game is set. In S20, preparation is made so that the winning determination information for the RB gaming state can be used. Similarly, when the winning combination is in the RT1 gaming state, a flag indicating that it is in the RT1 gaming state is set in the gaming state flag storage area provided in the RAM 313. Thus, the process for one game is completed, and then the process proceeds by returning to step S10 and repeating the same process.

<Interrupt processing>
Next, the interrupt process of the main control unit will be described with reference to FIG.

  In step S110, the register is saved so that it can return to the processing state before the interruption after the interruption processing is completed.

  In step S120, it is confirmed whether or not the reel is rotating. If the reel is rotating, the phase signal data of the stepping motor of the reel is changed, and the reel is rotated in the reel state storage area provided in the RAM 313. When information indicating a start instruction is stored, phase signal data for accelerating all reels from a stopped state to a constant speed is set, and information indicating a reel rotation stop instruction is stored in the reel state storage area. Then, phase signal data for decelerating the corresponding reel from the constant speed rotation state to the stop state is set.

  In step S130, the input port data to which the signal states of various sensors and switches are input is checked, the data is input, and the input result is stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 313 so that it can be referred to from other processes. .

  In step S140, random numbers used for various processes are updated, and in step S150, special processes are performed. Here, regarding the special process, one of processes selected from the special process jump table shown in FIG. 7B is executed according to the state of the game control. Specifically, the special processing includes normal processing (S151: nothing special), RAM clear processing (S152: when one game is finished, when RB is finished, RAM 313 is cleared), display setting processing (S153: 7-segment display, display processing of game lamps, etc.), medal insertion processing (S154: processing for detecting insertion of medal, executed by operation of medal insertion or medal insertion button), medal payout processing (S155: RAM 313) When information indicating a medal payout start instruction is stored in the medal payout state storage area provided in FIG. 5 or when the medal payout number counter provided in the RAM 313 is not 0, a drive signal is output to the hopper control unit, When a medal paid out from the hopper is detected, the value of the medal payout number counter provided in the RAM 313 Subtracted stored), there is a reel stop control processing (S156).

  In step S160, the saved register is restored.

  Hereinafter, the reel stop control process in step S156 will be described in detail. As described above, the reel stop control is performed based on the stop table selected based on the lottery result of the winning combination.

  FIG. 11 to FIG. 14 show an example of a stop table TA30 for use in the present embodiment when three medals are inserted (hereinafter, unless otherwise specified, three medals are inserted). Here, FIG. 11 is a stop table for stop numbers 7, 8 and 9, that is, a stop table for controlling stop of the symbol combination corresponding to the red cherry small combination, and a stop control for the symbol combination corresponding to the blue cherry small combination. The stop table to be stopped and the stop table to stop the combination of symbols corresponding to the black cherry small combination are shown.

  For example, in a game selected as a red cherry small role, when the symbol number 2 (red cherry symbol) of the left reel 110 passes the middle horizontal winning line 114, if the left stop button 137 is operated, the left of FIG. To stop by sliding one frame from “1” in the row corresponding to symbol number 2 in the second column (the red cherry symbol stops at the bottom). If the middle reel 111 and the right reel 112 also operate the middle stop button 138 or the right stop button 139 when the symbol number 2 (both replay symbols) passes through the middle horizontal winning line 114, the middle reel is shown in FIG. Stops without slipping one frame from “0” in the row corresponding to symbol number 2 in the fifth column from the left (the replay symbol stops in the middle), and the right reel is the symbol in the sixth column from the left in FIG. It slides one frame from “1” in the row corresponding to the number 2 and stops (the replay symbol stops at the lower stage). In this case, the red cherry symbol, the bell symbol, and the replay symbol are stopped from the left at the position along the lower horizontal winning line 114, and the red cherry symbol, the replay symbol, and the blank symbol are stopped from the left at the position along the upward rising winning line 114. It stops, and the small part of red cherry is determined as a winning combination on the two winning lines 114, and two medals are paid out to the medal tray 210. Further, in the game selected as the black cherry small role, when the symbol number 10 (bell symbol) of the left reel 110 passes the middle horizontal winning line 114, the left stop button 137 is operated from the left in FIG. Stop by sliding 3 frames from “3” in the row corresponding to symbol number 10 in the fourth column (the left reel has symbol numbers 6, 7, 8 red 7 symbols, blank symbols, and replay symbols stopped from the top. To do). Further, if the middle reel 111 and the right reel 112 also operate the middle stop button 138 or the right stop button 139 when the symbol number 7 (both blank symbols) passes through the middle horizontal winning line 114, the middle reel 111 is 11 slides two frames from “2” in the row corresponding to symbol number 7 in the fifth column from the left in FIG. 11 (in the middle reel, blank symbols, replay symbols, bells of symbol numbers 4, 5, and 6 from the top row) The right reel slides 3 frames from “3” in the row corresponding to symbol number 7 in the sixth column from the left in FIG. 11 (the right reel moves from top to symbol numbers 3, 4, 5). Blank symbols, bell symbols, and replay symbols are stopped), and the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination is not stopped on any of the five winning lines 114. As described above, even if the game is won by the black cherry small role, when the symbol numbers 15 to 21 (thick black frame shown in FIG. 11) pass through the middle horizontal winning line 114, the left stop button 137 is operated. Otherwise, the black cherry symbols cannot be aligned on the winning line 114, that is, the symbols corresponding to the black cherry small part cannot be aligned on the winning line 114. Similarly, even if the game is won by the blue cherry small role, the left stop button 137 is not operated when the symbol numbers 8 to 14 (black frame shown in FIG. 11) pass through the middle horizontal winning line 114. The symbols corresponding to the blue cherry small roles cannot be aligned on the winning line 114, and even if the game is won for the red cherry small role, the symbols 1 to 7 (the black frame shown in FIG. 11). ) Passes the middle horizontal winning line 114, and the left stop button 137 is not operated, the symbols corresponding to the red cherry small combination cannot be aligned on the winning line 114. Thus, in this embodiment, the red cherry small combination, the blue cherry small combination, and the black cherry small combination each have a pull-in rate of 1/3.

  In this way, the red cherry small role, the blue cherry small role, and the black cherry small role are the roles that cause missing, so in the RT1 gaming state or the RT5 gaming state in which the above-described notification processing is executed, When a winning combination notification regarding the small part of the blue cherry, the small part of the blue cherry, and the small part of the black cherry is performed, the player can make the cherry win or not win the cherry based on this notification . That is, the player can enjoy two types of gaming characteristics (for example, whether to win a cherry and receive a medal payout or to continue the RT gaming state) by performing a reel stop operation at a specific timing.

  FIG. 12 is a stop table of stop number 3, that is, a stop table for controlling stop of the symbol combination corresponding to the small part of watermelon. For example, in a game selected as a watermelon small part, when the symbol number 5 (replay symbol) of the left reel 110 passes the middle horizontal winning line 114, if the left stop button 137 is operated, 2 from the left in FIG. Slide one frame from “1” in the row corresponding to symbol number 5 in the column and stop (the left reel stops the bell symbol, watermelon symbol, and replay symbol from the top). Therefore, the watermelon stops on the winning line 114. Further, in the game selected as a watermelon small role, if the middle stop button 138 is operated when the symbol number 5 (replay symbol) of the middle reel 111 passes through the middle horizontal winning line 114, 3 from the left in FIG. Stop by sliding one frame from “1” described in the row corresponding to symbol number 5 in the column (the bell symbol stops at the top, the blank symbol stops at the middle, and the replay symbol stops at the bottom). Therefore, the watermelon symbol does not stop on the winning line 114. However, in a game where the winning role is a small watermelon, the middle horizontal winning line 114, symbol number 5 for the left reel, symbol number 20 for the middle reel, symbol number 2 for the right reel, When each stop button is operated, the left reel slides one frame from “1” in the row corresponding to symbol number 5 in the second column from the left in FIG. 12 and stops (bell symbol, watermelon symbol, replay symbol from the top). The middle reel slides two frames from “2” in the row corresponding to symbol number 20 in the third column from the left in FIG. 12 (the bell symbol, watermelon symbol, and replay symbol are stopped from the top). The right reel slides 3 frames from “3” in the row corresponding to symbol number 2 in the fourth column from the left in FIG. 12 and stops (the replay symbol, watermelon symbol, and blank symbol stop from the top). Middle horizontal entry Equipped with watermelon symbols stopped and displayed on line 114, the winning combination is the small role of watermelon.

  In this way, the small part of the watermelon is a winning combination in which a dropout occurs, and if the reels are not stopped with the symbol numbers enclosed in the bold black frames shown in FIG. 12, the watermelon symbols can be aligned on the winning line 114 Can not.

  FIG. 13 is a stop table for stop number 2, that is, a stop table for controlling stop of the symbol combination corresponding to the small part of the bell. For example, in a game won for the small part of the bell, when the symbol number 5 (replay symbol) of the left reel 110 passes the middle horizontal winning line 114, if the left stop button 137 is operated, it slides and stops by one frame. (The bell symbol on the top, the watermelon symbol on the middle, and the replay symbol on the bottom). Thus, the bell stops on the winning line 114. Also, in the game won for the bell small role, if the middle stop button 138 is operated when the symbol number 10 (bell symbol) of the middle reel 111 passes the horizontal winning line 114 in the middle stage, the frame stops by sliding three frames. (The bell symbol on the top, the blank symbol on the middle, and the blue 7 symbol on the bottom). Thus, the bell stops on the winning line 114. Furthermore, in a game where the winning role is a small role of the bell, and the right stop button 139 is operated at the timing when the symbol number 18 of the right reel passes through the middle horizontal winning line 114, it slides two frames and the bell symbol starts from the top. Since the replay symbol and the black BAR symbol are stopped, the bell symbols are aligned and displayed on the upper horizontal winning line, and the winning combination becomes a small part of the bell.

  As described above, the small winning combination of the bell is a winning combination that does not cause a miss, and the symbol combination corresponding to the small winning combination of the bell is aligned on the winning line 114 regardless of the stop operation.

  FIG. 14 shows a stop table of stop number 5, that is, a stop table for controlling stop of the symbol combination of loss. For example, in a game where the player has won the game, first, when the symbol number 5 (replay symbol) of the left reel 110 passes the middle horizontal winning line 114, if the left stop button 137 is operated, the player slides one frame and stops ( The bell symbol on the top, the watermelon symbol on the middle, and the replay symbol on the bottom.) Next, when the symbol number 10 (bell symbol) of the middle reel 111 passes through the middle horizontal winning line 114, if the middle stop button 138 is operated, it slides 0 frames and stops (the replay symbol is displayed in the upper row and the middle row is displayed in the middle row). The bell symbol and the blank symbol stop at the bottom). Next, when the symbol number 15 (bell symbol) of the right reel 112 passes through the middle horizontal winning line 114, if the right stop button 139 is operated, it slides and stops three frames (the bell symbol is on the upper level, and the middle symbol is on the middle level). Replay symbol, blue 7 symbol stops at the bottom) As a result, the winning lines 114 are not aligned on the winning line 114 and are lost.

  In this way, the loss is a winning combination that does not cause a miss, and any combination of symbols corresponding to a loss (other than RB, small combination, and replay) is aligned on the winning line 114 regardless of the position at which the stop operation is performed.

  As described above, according to the gaming machine of the present embodiment, in RT1 or RT5 in which RT is continued for a relatively long period, any of the cherry small combination (red cherry, blue cherry, or black cherry small combination) If it is won, the player will be notified that the cherry has been won up to the maximum number of notifications, so that the player can choose to win the cherry or remove the cherry prize by his / her choice. That is, since the RT1 or RT5 gaming state is ended and the RT2, RT3, or RT4 gaming state is started, the player wins the cherry winning when he wants to continue the replay time. When a stop operation is performed and a medal is to be acquired, the stop operation is performed so that a cherry win is obtained. As a result, the gaming table according to the present embodiment has an unprecedented novelty and can advance the game with a sense of expectation from the player.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the cherry role is configured as a group role. The group role means a role that is won by a plurality of roles at the same time. In this embodiment, the group role 1 is selected as a red cherry small role and a blue cherry small role, and the group role 2 is a blue cherry small size. A role to be elected as a small role of a black cherry and a group role 3 is defined as a role to be elected as a small role of black cherry and a small role of red cherry. In the following description, only the configuration and functions different from those of the first embodiment will be described due to the fact that the cherry role is a group role, and the description of the other configurations and functions is omitted.

  FIG. 16 is a diagram showing an example of the winning combination lottery table TA10-2 in the present embodiment. Note that the table shown in FIG. 16 has the same configuration as the table shown in FIG. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 16, since the random number ranges assigned to the group combination 1, the group combination 2, and the group combination 3 are set to be the same, the probability of winning each group combination is the same. ing. For example, if the random number acquired in the general gaming state is 5000, the range of random values in which the group combination 1 is won is 2184 to 5460, so the group combination 1 is won, that is, the winning combination is red cherry and blue cherry. It becomes. In this game, when the player operates the left stop button 137 at a timing when any of the symbols 1 to 7 passes the horizontal winning line 114 in the middle of the left reel 110, the red cherry is in the upper stage of the left reel 110. When the left stop button 137 is operated at a timing when any of symbols 8 to 14 passes through the horizontal winning line 114 in the middle of the left reel 110, the blue cherry is stopped. Stops at either the upper, middle, or lower level of the left reel 110. In this case, red cherry or blue cherry is a winning combination no matter what timing the middle stop button 138 and the right stop button 139 are operated. However, if the left stop button 137 is operated at the timing when any of the symbols 15 to 21 passes through the horizontal winning line 114 in the middle of the left reel 110, the red cherry, blue cherry and black cherry do not stop. Thereafter, the winning combination is lost regardless of the timing at which the middle stop button 138 and the right stop button 139 are operated. Similarly, when the random number acquired in the RB internal winning state is 9000, the range of random values in which the group combination 3 is won is 8520 or more and 11796 or less, so the group combination 3 is won, that is, the winning combination is black cherry. It becomes red cherry. In this game, when the player operates the left stop button 137 at a timing when any of the symbols 1 to 7 passes the horizontal winning line 114 in the middle of the left reel 110, the red cherry is in the upper stage of the left reel 110. When the left stop button 137 is operated at the timing when any of symbols 15 to 21 passes through the horizontal winning line in the middle of the left reel 110, the black cherry is The left reel 110 stops at either the upper, middle, or lower level. In this case, red cherry or black cherry is a winning combination no matter what timing the middle stop button 138 and the right stop button 139 are operated. However, if the left stop button 137 is operated at the timing when any of symbols 8 to 14 passes through the horizontal winning line in the middle of the left reel 110, red cherry, blue cherry, and black cherry do not stop. Even if the middle stop button 138 and the right stop button 139 are operated at any timing, the winning combination is lost. In this embodiment, all of the red cherry, blue cherry, and black cherry small roles are duplicated (the random number ranges of other winning combinations overlap at least partially). Of the three cherry small combinations, two cherry small combinations may be used as overlapping roles and the remaining one cherry small combination may be used as a single combination (not overlapping with the random number range of other winning combinations). For example, it is possible to have a role structure of a group role elected as a red cherry small role and a blue cherry small role and a black cherry small role.

  FIG. 17 shows an example of the stop number selection table TA20-2 that is referred to when a group combination is won. Here, the stop table with the stop number 10 is a stop table for stopping and controlling the symbol combination corresponding to the group combination 1 (the symbol combination corresponding to the red cherry small combination or the symbol combination corresponding to the blue cherry small combination). The stop table with the number 11 is a stop table for stopping and controlling the symbol combination corresponding to the group combination 2 (the symbol combination corresponding to the blue cherry small combination or the symbol combination corresponding to the black cherry small combination). The table is a stop table for performing stop control of the symbol combination corresponding to the group combination 3 (the symbol combination corresponding to the black cherry small combination or the symbol combination corresponding to the red cherry small combination).

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, in the game won for the group combination 1, the stop table with the stop number 10 is selected with a probability of 100%, and control is performed to stop the symbol combination corresponding to the group combination 1. In the game won for group role 2, the stop table of stop number 11 is selected with a probability of 100%, and control is performed to stop the symbol combination corresponding to group role 2, and in the game won for group role 3. The stop table of stop number 12 is selected with a probability of 100%, and control is performed to stop the symbol combination corresponding to the group combination 3.

  FIG. 18A shows an example of the effect command selection table TA40-2 that is referred to when a group combination is won in the RT1 or RT5 gaming state. Here, as shown in the production command content table TA50-2 shown in FIG. 18B, the production command 111 displays a message “Red cherry, blue cherry 100%?” Indicating that the group role 1 has been won. Similarly, the effect command 211 displays on the liquid crystal display device 180 the message “blue cherry, black cherry 100%?” Indicating that the group combination 2 has been won, and the effect command 311 is displayed on the display device 180. The message “Black Cherry, Red Cherry 100%?” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 180, indicating that the group role 3 has been won.

  For example, in the RT1 or RT5 game state, in the game won in the group role 1, when the RT continuous game number is 0-30, the production command 111 is selected with a probability of 16/16, and the RT continuous game number is 31- When it is 60 times, the production command 111 is selected with a probability of 12/16, and when the number of RT continuous games is 61-90 times, the production command 111 is selected with a probability of 8/16, and the number of RT continuous games is 91 times. In the above case, the production command 111 is selected with a probability of 4/16. Thus, in this embodiment, the probability that the production command 111 is selected decreases as the number of RT continuous games increases.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, in the RT1 or RT5 game state, in the game won for the group role, the winning combination is notified with a predetermined probability until the maximum number of notifications is reached, that is, the group role is won. When the winning combination notification is made, the player can grasp the group role won in the game, and two games, that is, winning the group role It is possible to select according to one's preference whether to acquire a medal and to remove the winning of the group role and continue the RT gaming state.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as in the first embodiment, the probability of selecting an effect command for informing a message indicating that a group role has been won decreases as the number of RT game continuations increases. If the RT game continuation number increases, the probability that the winning combination notification is executed decreases. For this reason, as the RT game continuation number increases, it becomes difficult for the player to grasp the winning group combination, and as a result, the probability of winning the group combination and ending the RT1 or RT5 gaming state increases.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, since the small role of cherry is not a single role but a group role, in the RT gaming state, when the group role is won and the winning combination notification is not executed, it is compared with the first embodiment. The probability of winning a cherry role is high (If you are elected as a group role, you will stop the combination of symbols corresponding to the group role because you have won two cherry roles) In the stop table, the range in which the symbols corresponding to the remaining small cherry roles that have not been won can be stopped is narrow). For this reason, in the RT1 gaming state or the RT5 gaming state of the present embodiment, the number of continued games tends to be smaller than that in the first embodiment.

(Third embodiment)
Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described. This embodiment is different from the first embodiment in the type of RT gaming state and the transition pattern to the RT gaming state. In the following, only configurations and functions different from those of the first embodiment will be described, and descriptions of other configurations and functions will be omitted.

  FIG. 19 shows a payout table for winning in this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 19, in this embodiment, there are three types of RT gaming states (there are no RT3 and RT4 gaming states), and the condition for shifting to the RT2 gaming state is a prize for a bell small role . For this reason, in the RT1 or RT5 gaming state, when the prize for the small bell role is won, the RT1 or RT5 gaming state ends. Also, in the RT1 or RT5 gaming state, when a bell small role is won, a winning combination notification is executed. Specifically, a message indicating that the small part of the bell has been won is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 180 instructing the operation order of the stop buttons.

  FIG. 20 shows an example of a stop number selection table TA20-3 that is referred to when a small part of a bell is won in the RT5 gaming state. In this embodiment, in the RT5 gaming state, when a bell small role is won, the stop table with the stop number 13 is selected on 8/16, and the stop table with the stop number 14 is selected on 8/16. ing. Here, the small part of the stop table of the stop number 13 is a stop table that stops and controls the symbol combination corresponding to the small part of the bell when pressed forward (operating the stop button in the order of left, middle, and right). The stop table of No. 14 is a stop table for controlling the stop of the symbol combination corresponding to the small part of the bell in cases other than forward pressing. Specifically, with regard to the stop table of stop number 13, when the stop button is operated by forward pressing, the stop table for controlling stop of the symbol corresponding to the small part of the bell shown in FIG. Is operated, the stop table for stopping control of the symbol combination shown in FIG. 14 is selected. Further, regarding the stop table of stop number 14, when the stop button is operated by other than the forward press, the stop table for controlling the stop corresponding to the small part of the bell shown in FIG. 13 is selected, and the stop table is operated by the forward press. 14 is selected to stop the combination of symbols shown in FIG. As a result, in the RT1 or RT5 gaming state, when the winning combination of the bell is elected and the winning combination is notified, the player performs a stop operation in accordance with the displayed message to win the winning combination of the bell. If the stop operation is not performed according to the displayed message, the bell cannot be won.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, in the RT1 or RT5 game state, in a game where the winning combination of the bell is won, the winning combination is notified with a predetermined probability until the maximum number of notifications is reached. And a message instructing the stop operation order is notified, so that when the winning combination notification is made, the player indicates the small role of the bell won in the game and the stop operation order. Since it can be grasped, two game characteristics, that is, whether to win a medal by winning a prize for the bell small part, or to continue the RT gaming state by removing the prize for the small role of the bell, Can be selected according to one's own preference.

(Fourth embodiment)
In the above embodiment, the replay symbol-replay symbol-replay symbol is exemplified as the re-playing player winning when the replay symbol is stopped along the winning line, but the red cherry symbol-replay symbol-replay symbol Design, blue cherry design-replay design-replay design, and black cherry design-replay design-replay design (here, red replay design combination, blue replay design combination, and black replay design Are called red combination, red replay combination, black replay combination, and black replay combination are determined as the winning combination, and the winning combination is red and blue. And in the case of the black replay role, the game is played without inserting a game medium (for example, medal) in the next game, as in the case of winning the re-game role. Replay state that can be started, and in the case of red replay, blue replay, and black replay, the winning probability of one, plural, or all of replay, red, blue, black, and red 7 replay described later is set When the changed gaming state (respectively red RT state, blue RT state, and black RT state) is started and the game proceeds to the general gaming state after the first specific duration (for example, 250 games) or the bonus is won You may make it transfer to a bonus internal winning state. (The continuation period for ending the RT state is not necessarily set, and only the fact that the bonus is won may be set as the end condition). Similarly, when the red 7 symbol-replay symbol-replay symbol (referred to as a red 7 replay symbol combination) is stopped and displayed along the winning line, the winning combination determining means determines the red 7 replay symbol as the winning symbol. When the winning combination is a red 7 replay combination, the next game is in a re-playing state in which the game can be started without the insertion of a game medium in the same manner as when the re-playing combination is won, and A gaming state (referred to as a red 7RT state) in which the winning probability of one, a plurality, or all of red, blue, black and red 7 replays is changed is started, and a first specific duration (for example, 250 games) is started. When the game is shifted to the general gaming state or the bonus is won, the bonus internal winning state may be shifted. (The continuation period for ending the RT state is not necessarily set, and only the fact that the bonus is won may be set as the end condition).

  In the general gaming state, the winning probability of replay is 1/14, the winning probability of red 7 replay is 1/40, and the winning probability of red, blue and black replays is 1/60. In the red 7RT state, the winning probability of replay is 1/2, and the winning probability of red 7, red, blue and black replays is 1/65536, respectively. In the red, blue and black RT states, the winning probability of replay is 1 / 7.2, and the winning probability of red 7, red, blue and black replay is 1/65536, respectively. As a result, in the red 7RT state, the probability that the re-playing state will occur is about ½ of the winning probability described above. In each of the red, blue and black RT states, the probability that a replay state will occur is about 1 / 7.2 from the above-described winning probability. In the general gaming state, the probability that the re-gaming state occurs is 1 / 6.8 from the above-described winning probability. In addition, red 7, red, blue, black RT state and general gaming state are different only in the winning probability of replay, red 7, red, blue, black replay and lose, and other bonuses (for example, BB, CT, RB) The winning probabilities of all small roles are the same.

  Therefore, the red 7RT state is the most advantageous for the player, the general gaming state is the next most advantageous for the player, and the red, blue, and black RT states are set to be the most disadvantaged for the player. Become. When the setting is changed, the RAM of the main control unit 300 is cleared, or the bonus (for example, BB, CT, RB) is finished, the red RT state is started.

In this example, the symbol combination of red 7, red, blue, and black replays is not 100%, but may be a symbol arrangement, symbol combination, or variable display stop means that is 100%.

   In such a configuration, after the RAM is cleared or the bonus is over, the player is played for 250 games in the red RT state, which is the most unfavorable to the player, and then shifts to the general gaming state, and fortunately the red 7 replay Winning (the probability of winning a red 7 replay before winning one of the red, blue, and black replays is 1/3) and stopping the red 7 replay symbol combination along the winning line When a red 7 replay is won, the game can be advantageously promoted in a red 7RT state where the winning probability of the replay is high until the bonus is won, without reducing the number of medals on hand. However, if you are unfortunately won a red, blue, or black replay, the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination will not stop and display along the winning line based on the notification of the winning combination by the notification control means as described above. You will have to operate the stop button in time. If the red, blue, or black replay is determined as a winning combination by mistake, the re-playing state will change when the gaming state transitions to the red, blue, or black RT state that is the most unfavorable to the player. Because the probability of occurrence is lower than the red 7RT state, the game must be promoted in the RT state where the ratio of handheld medals decreases compared to playing in the red 7RT state. Innovative gameplay can be provided.

  This is the same even if a blue RT state, a black RT state, or a general gaming state is started when the setting is changed, the RAM of the main control unit 300 is cleared, or the bonus is ended. In some cases, it is possible to provide a more novel gaming property by combining various modifications described in the embodiments including the first to third embodiments. Also, as RT types, RT that is advantageous to the player, RT that is advantageous to the player, and one corresponding symbol combination are listed, respectively, and disadvantageous RT and RT that is advantageous to the player are started. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the number of each RT, combination, and corresponding symbol combination may be set as appropriate. Moreover, the RT1-5 gaming state described in the first to third embodiments may be started in this example, or the RT1-5 gaming state may not be mounted. Moreover, although the example in which the RT gaming state is started by red, blue, black, or red 7 replay is given, the present invention is not limited to this, and any symbol combination may be used as long as it is determined in advance.

(Other embodiments)
As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention has been described, various deformation | transformation and change can be performed with respect to embodiment of this invention in the range which does not deviate from the summary of this invention. For example, in the above embodiment, the winning combination notification is executed in the RT gaming state. However, even if the winning combination notification is executed in another gaming state advantageous to the player (for example, BB (Big Bonus), RB, etc.). Often, the winning combination to be notified may be used as the end condition of these gaming states. Further, the winning combination notification may be executed in both the general gaming state and the RT gaming state. However, in this case, the probability that the winning combination notification is executed in the RT gaming state is set higher than that in the general gaming state.

  In the above embodiment, the maximum number of notifications is set as a predetermined fixed constant, but may be a variable constant. That is, when the predetermined condition is satisfied, the maximum number of notifications initially set (for example, 50 is set as the maximum notification number when transitioning to the RT1 gaming state, and 30 is set as the maximum notification number when transitioning to the RT5 gaming state. A predetermined numerical value may be added or subtracted (for example, 10 times if a prize is awarded to a watermelon small role), or the initially set maximum number of notifications may disappear (for example, When winning a watermelon small role, the RT1 or RT5 gaming state is terminated). In addition, when the winning combination notification for the maximum number of notifications is transferred to the RB gaming state without digesting, the remaining notifications may be taken into account in the RT gaming state after the end of the RB gaming state (for example, It is assumed that 20 times is set as the maximum number of notifications at the time of RB winning or after the end of RB (at the start of RT1 gaming state), and the remaining number of notifications is 10 in RT5 gaming state. If the RB is won and the RT5 gaming state is changed to the RT1 gaming state through the RB internal winning state and the RB gaming state, the remaining notification schedule number of 10 times and the above 20 times are added to 30 times as the maximum notification number. May be set). For example, red cherry pattern-red 7 symbol-red big bonus (red BB) that starts when the red 7 symbol is stopped and displayed along the winning line, blue cherry symbol-red 7 symbol-red 7 Blue 7 Big Bonus (Blue BB) that starts when the symbol is stopped and displayed along the winning line, and starts when the black cherry symbol-red 7 symbol-red 7 symbol is stopped and displayed along the winning line A black big bonus (black BB) is further installed, and it is configured to shift to the RT5 gaming state after the end of red BB and RB. In the case of red BB, the maximum number of notifications is set to 100 at the start of the RT5 gaming state. In the case of RB, when the RT5 gaming state starts, the maximum number of notifications is set to 60, and when winning a red 7 small role, the maximum number of notifications is set to 500 when the RT1 gaming state is started. Since based on the symbol combination may be set up notice frequency. Similarly, in the case of red BB, it is determined by lottery, such as 3/4, 100 times, 1/4, 10 times, 4/5, 10 times, 1/5, 900 times, etc. You may improve playability.

  Further, in the first embodiment and the second embodiment, the RT gaming state (RT2 gaming state, RT3 gaming state, RT4 gaming state) is shifted to the winning of the cherry prize, but the RT gaming state (RT2 gaming state, RT3 gaming state). The condition for transitioning to the state, RT4 gaming state) is not limited to this, and other conditions, for example, the winning combination is a specific combination (for example, a cherry small combination) and a specific losing eye (for example, some small combination) , Bonuses, replays, and other combinations of symbols that are not won) are displayed, and when the above-mentioned specific losing eye is displayed regardless of the winning combination, a specific gaming state (for example, during BB general, during BB) , During RB, AT, CT, etc.) when a specific losing eye is displayed in a game won for a specific role, or when a specific losing eye is displayed during a specific gaming state, that is, predetermined Specific symbol combination that was in a case of displaying stopped along a winning line, may shift. 8 and 9, the probabilities of the red cherry small combination, the blue cherry small combination, and the black cherry small combination are the same, but they may be different. Similarly, the winning probabilities of the group combinations 1 to 3 in FIG.

Further, the red cherry small role, the blue cherry small role, and the black cherry small role are illustrated as a plurality of roles having different combinations of symbols included in the special role, and the red cherry, blue cherry, and We explained an example where black cherry symbols were placed 7 or more frames apart from each other, but of course, depending on how many symbols are stopped and displayed along the winning line that is activated at the same time when they are stopped, The conditions will change. For example, if there are only two winning lines, the upper horizontal winning line and the middle winning line, when the medal is inserted into the 1 to 3 slot machine 100, the symbol is positioned along the lower line. Even if the display is stopped, in this case, the number of frames displayed simultaneously by one symbol display means is two. Therefore, the symbols (for example, red cherry, blue cherry, and black cherry) constituting the plurality of roles are 1 In one reel (for example, the left reel 110), it is sufficient to dispose six frames or more. Similarly, even if symbols are simultaneously displayed in the upper, middle, and lower levels, if only the middle horizontal winning line is activated, the number of frames displayed simultaneously by one symbol display means is 1, which is described above. The symbols constituting the plurality of roles may be separated by 5 frames or more.

  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the main control unit 300 has determined the effect (the effect command determination process in step S40 in FIG. 6), but even if the sub-control unit 400 determines the effect, Good. That is, the winning combination command including information indicating the winning combination may be transmitted from the main control unit 300 to the sub-control unit 400, and the presentation may be determined based on the winning combination command received by the sub-control unit 400.

  In addition, when the winning combination is a special combination (for example, a red cherry small combination, a blue cherry small combination, and a black cherry small combination), as a stop table TA30 for stopping the symbol, the forward push and the reverse push Two of these may be provided. That is, on the condition that the operation of the start lever 135 by the player is detected, the reels 110 to 112 are started to rotate, and after the reel stop operation by the player is permitted on the condition that the rotation is a constant speed, If the reel corresponding to the stop buttons 137 to 139 stopped by the player is the first specific reel (for example, the left reel 110), a special combination (for example, red cherry small role, blue cherry) A stop table TA30 (for example, FIG. 11) that has a higher probability of winning, winning or winning, or not winning, The corresponding reel is a second specific reel (for example, a reel different from the first specific reel, a middle reel 111 other than the left reel 110, and a right reel 112). )) A special role is not won and another character (for example, loser) wins, or a special character is not likely to win, and the probability that another character wins is not won. You may make it stop a reel using stop table TA30 (for example, FIG. 14) higher than a probability. At this time, if the stop button corresponding to the first specific reel (for example, the left reel 110) is first stopped, there is a possibility of winning a special role, winning or winning. You may make it alert | report by outputting a specific alerting | reporting aspect to a predetermined alerting | reporting means to a player that it is higher than the probability of not winning. On the other hand, if the stop button corresponding to the second specific reel is first operated to stop, the player is notified that the probability of not winning a special role or winning a special role is higher than the probability of winning. You may make it alert | report by outputting a specific alerting | reporting aspect to a predetermined alerting | reporting means. These notifications may be performed in addition to the special role notifications described in the embodiments including the first to fourth embodiments.

  In particular, when applied to the fourth embodiment, if the reel corresponding to the stop buttons 137 to 139 first stopped by the player is the first specific reel, RT that is most advantageous to the player is obtained. A stop table is selected that is higher or more likely than the probability that the symbol combination to start is stopped and displayed along the winning line, and the corresponding reel is the second specific reel. For example, select a stop table that has a higher or less likely probability that the symbol combination that is the most advantageous condition for the player will not be stopped and displayed along the winning line. Or, if the corresponding reel is a second specific reel, start an RT that is less favorable than the RT that is most advantageous to the player (eg, the RT that is most unfavorable to the player) Stop displayed along the winning line symbol combination becomes that condition, greater than the probability that no probability of or stop table that may be, may be selected.

  As described above, according to the gaming machine according to the aspect of the present invention, the winning combination determining means (for example, step S20) for determining the winning combination based on the gaming state and the symbol display means (for example, left) for displaying the symbols in a variable manner. A symbol stop means for stopping the symbol display by the symbol display means based on the reel 110, the middle reel 111, the right reel 112), and the symbol stop operation of the player and the winning combination determined by the winning combination determining means. For example, when the display result of the stop button 137 to 139, step S156) and the symbol display means is a specific display result, the first gaming state (for example, from the first gaming state advantageous to the player) The gaming state is changed to a second gaming state (for example, an RT2 gaming state, an RT3 gaming state, or an RT4 gaming state) that is more disadvantageous to the player than the RT1 gaming state or the RT5 gaming state). When the game state transition means (for example, step S100) to be performed and the player performs the symbol stop operation in a specific manner, the symbol stop means causes the symbol display means to display the specific display result as the display result. And informing means (for example, the liquid crystal display device 180, steps S40 and S50) for informing that stop display is stopped until a predetermined upper limit is reached.

  Here, the winning combination determining means has exemplified the winning combination determining process in step S20 as an example, but is not limited to this step, and the winning combination determining process in step S20 and the stop table determining process in step S30 are won. It is good also as a role determination means. In other words, the winning combination is not limited to the winning combination determined by the winning combination determining process, but may be applied as a stop number determined by the stop table determining process (determining the winning combination of the game table in the following mode) The same applies to the means). The plurality of symbol display means are not limited to the reels (reels 110 to 112) controlled by the main control unit 300, and may be configured by other devices. For example, the reels controlled by the sub control unit 400 , A liquid crystal display device, a dot, a lamp, an LED, or the like (the same applies to a plurality of symbol display means of the game table in the following modes).

  In addition, according to the gaming machine according to another aspect of the present invention, a random number generating means (for example, step S20) for generating a random number and a winning determination in which a range of random numbers determined as a winning combination is set for a plurality of types of winning combinations. Information, first winning determination information in which a range of random numbers for determining a specific combination (for example, replay) as a winning combination is set as a first numerical range, and a random number for determining the specific combination as a winning combination Winning determination information storage means (for example, a winning combination lottery table) storing a plurality of winning determination information including second winning determination information whose range is a second numerical range whose numerical range is narrower than the first numerical range ) And a game start instruction means (for example, a start lever 135) for outputting a game start signal for instructing the start of the game according to the player's operation, and the game start signal output by the game start instruction means A winning combination determining means (for example, step S20) for determining a winning combination by collating the winning determination information stored in the winning determination information storage means with the random number generated by the random number generating means, When a plurality of symbol display means (for example, a left reel 110, a middle reel 111, and a right reel 112) that sequentially and repeatedly display a plurality of types of symbols and the game start signal output by the game start instruction means are input, Corresponding to each of the plurality of symbol display means corresponding to each of the plurality of symbol display means, the variation display of the symbols by the plurality of symbol display means is individually stopped. Stop instruction means (for example, stop buttons 137 to 139) for outputting a stop instruction signal for instructing, and the stop instruction output by the stop instruction means When the number is input, based on the winning combination determined by the winning combination determining means, the variable display stop means for stopping the symbol display by the symbol display means corresponding to the stop instruction signal (for example, step S156) A winning combination determining means (for example, step S80) for determining a winning combination corresponding to a combination of symbols stopped and displayed along a predetermined winning line of the plurality of symbol display means, and the winning combination determining means; Based on the determined winning combination, a game value providing means for providing game value (for example, step S90) and that the winning combination determining means has determined that a special combination (for example, a cherry small combination) is selected as the winning combination A number-of-games counting means for counting the number of games for which a specific notification is output, a scheduled number determination means for determining the number of games for which the specific notification is to be output, In a game in which the winning combination determining means has determined the special combination as a winning combination, and the number of games counted by the game number counting means has not reached the number of games determined by the scheduled number determining means, Notification control means (for example, step S40) for outputting the specific notification to a predetermined notification means (for example, the liquid crystal display device 180) before the variable display stop means stops the variable display of the symbols in all the symbol display means. , S50) and the stop instruction signal output by the stop instruction means, and even if the winning combination determined by the winning combination determining means is the special combination, the special combination corresponding to the special combination When the order of variably displaying specific symbols constituting the symbol combination is more than a specific number of frames away from the symbol variably displayed by the symbol display means corresponding to the stop instruction means, Stop symbol selecting means (for example, step S156) for stopping and displaying symbols other than the symbol at a position along the winning line of the symbol display means, and the winning combination determining means using the first winning determination information as the verification Based on the fact that the winning combination determining means has determined the special combination as the winning combination in the game in which the winning combination is determined using the second winning determination information, the winning combination determining means uses the second winning determination information for the verification. As the winning determination information, a winning determination information selecting means (for example, step S100) for selecting from the plurality of winning determination information stored in the winning determination information storage means is provided.

  According to the gaming machine of this aspect, when the number of notifications has not reached the maximum number of notifications, the winning combination is notified as a special combination, so the player wins a symbol combination corresponding to the combination A player who wants to stop along the line, and if the player wants to pay out in the game, aim for the symbol to win the role, and aim for the symbol not to win the other player There may be a case where a game stand having game characteristics can be provided. When such a configuration is used, it is possible to provide a game with a high degree of freedom that can be entertained by various players such as a player who strongly desires amusement or a player who strongly desires to acquire many prize media. There is. In addition, since the scheduled number determination means is configured to determine the number of times that a specific condition is to be established, the number of balls to be played is increased when the number of scheduled times is large, and the number of balls to be played is decreased when the number of scheduled times is small. It can also be applied to play control such as playing, and there are cases where the game performance can be expanded. If the player is notified of the scheduled number of times by a predetermined notification means, the player should have a sense of expectation, such as how many times the number of notifications of winning a special role will continue. May be possible.

  Here, when the winning combination determining means determines the special combination as a winning combination, a prize medium paying means for paying out a prize medium may be provided. In this case, some small combination (for example, red , Blue and black cherry small roles) can be applied to enhance entertainment. Also, if a special combination is replayed and the winning combination determining means determines that the replay is a winning combination, a replay state is generated in which the game is started without the insertion of a game medium (for example, a medal) in the next game. Means may be provided.

  In this case, the symbol combination replay-replay-replay in which the replay described in the embodiment is determined as a winning combination includes red cherry-replay-replay, blue cherry-replay-replay, and black cherry-replay. -Replay combinations may be changed or added. Of course, a bonus (for example, BB, RB, CT, AT, AR) may be applied as a special combination.

  In addition, the winning combination determining means includes a symbol (for example, the left reel 110) of one of the plurality of symbol display means (for example, the left reel 110) constituting a combination of symbols corresponding to the special combination (for example, When the cherry symbol) is stopped along the winning line, the special combination may be determined as the winning combination.

  Thereby, when one symbol display means has stopped displaying a specific symbol, it is determined that the player has won a special role, so that the player can win only by the stop timing of the symbol display means, It is possible to select whether or not to win, and it is possible to easily select the transition of the gaming state as compared with the case where attention is paid to the stop timing of the plurality of symbol display means. With such a configuration, there is a case where a game can be easily played and a game can be enjoyed for a long time.

  The special combination includes a plurality of combinations (for example, red cherry, blue cherry, and black cherry) having different combinations of corresponding symbols, and the one symbol display unit displays the one symbol display unit simultaneously. The number of frames (for example, 3 frames) obtained by adding the specific number of frames to the number of frames to be separated may be separated, and the symbols constituting the combination of symbols corresponding to the special combination may be arranged.

  As a result, if the player does not perform a stop operation at a specific timing, the result may be different from his / her selection. This was made possible by taking advantage of the so-called “missing out” feature of this type of game machine, and was aimed not only at button operation but also by allowing the player to see the symbol display means displaying the variable display at high speed. A highly novel method is adopted in which the transition of the gaming state is selected by determining the timing to stop the symbol and operating the stop button. By doing so, it may be possible to provide new game characteristics and improve interest.

  The special combination includes a plurality of combinations having different combinations of corresponding symbols, and the first winning determination information determines one special combination among the plurality of special combinations as a winning combination. You may comprise so that a part of range of random numbers and a part of range of random numbers which determines any remaining special combination as a winning combination may overlap.

  The special combination includes a first special combination (for example, a red cherry small combination), a second special combination (for example, a blue cherry small combination), and a third special combination that have different corresponding symbol combinations. In the first winning determination information, a part of a range of random numbers for determining the first special combination as a winning combination, and the second special combination. A part of the range of random numbers for determining the winning combination as a winning combination overlaps, and the range of random numbers for determining the third special winning combination as a winning combination is determined by using the first special winning combination as a winning combination. You may comprise so that it may not overlap with the range of the random number to determine, or the range of the random number which determines the said 2nd special combination as a winning combination.

  Thus, depending on the adjustment of the random number width, in a game in which a special role is a winning role, for example, the probability of winning that role is 2/3, and the probability of winning a role other than that role is 1/3. Thus, it becomes possible to make a difference in probability. Since adjustment is possible in this way, it is easy to adjust whether to make it easy to win the role or to make it easy to win a role other than that role, and it is possible to widen the range of freedom of control. It may become like this.

  Further, the notification control means includes notification information selection random number generation means for generating notification information selection random numbers, and the winning combination determined by the winning combination determination means by selecting the first winning determination information. Notification information storage means for storing a plurality of notification information including winning information indicating that the winning combination is present, and a continuous game number counting means for counting the number of games continuously using the first winning determination information; Notification information selection information storage means for storing a plurality of notification information selection information in which the number of games counted by the continuous game number counting means and a range of random numbers for selecting the winning information are stored; When the combination determining means selects the first winning determination information and determines that the special combination is a winning combination, the notification information selection is performed based on the number of games counted by the continuous game number counting unit. Recorded in the information storage means Selecting the broadcast information selection information, collating the selected broadcast information selection information with the random number generated by the broadcast information selection random number generating means, and selecting the broadcast information selecting means. The notification information selection information is configured such that the range of random numbers for selecting the winning information associated with the number of games becomes narrower as the number of games counted by the continuous game number counting means increases. May be.

  This reduces the frequency of notifications as the number of games increases, making it difficult for the player to determine whether the winning role is a special role or not. In some cases, it is possible to balance the will of the person with randomness. With such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the game state from being changed over a long period of time and to be monotonous, and to be able to improve interest.

  Further, the notification control means includes notification information selection random number generation means for generating notification information selection random numbers, and the winning combination determined by the winning combination determination means by selecting the first winning determination information. Notification information storage means for storing a plurality of notification information including false information indicating that the winning combination is different, and a continuous game number counting means for counting the number of games using the first winning determination information continuously And a notification information selection information storage unit that stores a plurality of notification information selection information that associates the number of games counted by the continuous game number counting unit with a range of random numbers for selecting the false information, When the winning combination determining means selects the first winning determination information and determines that the special combination is a winning combination, the notification is made based on the number of games counted by the continuous game number counting means. Information storage for selecting information A notification information selection means for selecting the notification information by selecting the notification information selection information stored in the information, collating the selected notification information selection information with the random number generated by the notification information selection random number generation means, and The notification information selection information is configured so that a range of random numbers for selecting the false information associated with the number of games becomes wider as the number of games counted by the continuous game number counting means increases. It may be configured.

  As a result, when the number of games increases, the frequency of notifications different from the determination result of the winning combination determining means is increased, which may make it difficult for the player to determine whether the winning combination is a special combination. In some cases, the game state transition can be performed with a balance between the player's intention and randomness. With such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the game state from being changed over a long period of time and to be monotonous, and to be able to improve interest.

  Further, the notification control means includes notification information selection random number generation means for generating notification information selection random numbers, and the winning combination determined by the winning combination determination means by selecting the first winning determination information. First notification information indicating that the probability of being a winning combination is a first probability, the winning combination determination means selects the first winning determination information, and the determined winning combination is the special combination Continuing the notification information storage means storing a plurality of notification information including second notification information indicating that a certain probability is a second probability lower than the first probability, and the first winning determination information Each of the plurality of pieces of notification information including the continuous game number counting means for counting the number of games used, the number of games counted by the continuous game number counting means, and the first notification information and the second notification information. Notification that associates the range of random numbers to select When the information storage means for selecting information for storing a plurality of information for selecting information and the winning combination determining means select the first winning determination information and determine that the special combination is a winning combination Selects the notification information selection information stored in the notification information selection information storage unit based on the number of games counted by the continuous game number counting unit, and selects the selected notification information selection information and the notification information selection And a notification information selection unit that selects the notification information by comparing random numbers generated by the random number generation unit for use, and the notification information selection information increases the number of games counted by the continuous game number counting unit. Accordingly, a range of random numbers for selecting the first broadcast information associated with the number of games may be narrowed, and a range of random numbers for selecting the second broadcast information may be widened.

  As a result, when the number of games increases, the winning combination and the reliability of notification are notified as a set, so that it is possible to further add game characteristics such as whether or not the player trusts the notification. There is a case. In addition, the above-described configuration makes it difficult for the player to determine whether the winning combination is a special combination, and the transition of the gaming state is balanced between the player's intention and randomness. You may be able to do this. With such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the game state from being changed over a long period of time and to be monotonous, and to be able to improve interest.
