The door / liquid crystal screen control unit 490 is a control unit that controls the liquid crystal display device 157 and the door 163.

  <Pattern arrangement>

  Next, the symbol arrangement applied to each of the reels 110 to 112 will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is a diagram in which the arrangement of symbols applied to each reel (left reel 110, middle reel 111, right reel 112) is developed in a plane.

  A plurality of types of symbols are arranged on each reel 110 to 112 by a predetermined number of frames (21 frames of arrangement numbers 0 to 20 in the first embodiment). Also, arrangement numbers 0 to 20 shown at the left end of the figure are numbers indicating the arrangement positions of symbols on the reels 110 to 112. For example, in the first embodiment, the “watermelon” symbol is assigned to the number 0 frame of the left reel 110, the “bell” symbol is assigned to the number 0 frame of the middle reel 111, and the number 2 frame of the right reel 112 is assigned to the number 2 frame. “Replay” symbols are arranged. The names of other symbols are as shown in the table on the right side of FIG.

  <Types of gaming state and types of winning prizes>

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6, the types of gaming state of the slot machine 100 and the types of winning combinations in each gaming state will be described.

  The gaming state of the slot machine 100 (“game mode” according to the present invention)) is roughly divided into a normal game, a replay high probability state (“special game mode” according to the present invention), a BB game, and an RB game. In the slot machine 100, a winning combination described below is adopted for each gaming state. It should be noted that the type of winning combination in each gaming state is not limited to the winning combination shown in the first embodiment, and it goes without saying that it can be arbitrarily adopted.

  Of the winning combinations in this specification, the big bonuses (BB1, BB2) and regular bonuses (RB) are used as symbols for shifting to the bonus game, and the replay (replay) is performed without newly inserting medals. The symbols that can be played are distinguished from the winning combination and are sometimes called “acting combinations”. However, the “winning combination” in this specification includes the big bonuses, regular bonuses, and replays that are operating combinations. Is included.

  Further, the “winning” in the present specification includes a case where a symbol combination of an operating role not accompanied by a medal payout is displayed on the activated winning line 114, for example, a big bonus, a regular bonus, Includes winnings for replays.

  <Normal game>

  FIG. 5A is a diagram showing the types of winning combinations in a normal game, the corresponding winning symbol combinations, the number of medals paid out (payout), and symbol lottery data (when three medals are inserted).

  The symbol lottery data (“lottery data” according to the present invention) indicates the number of appearances of each winning combination in a predetermined number of games. The actual internal winning probability of each winning combination is the numerical value of each symbol lottery data ("winning data" according to the present invention), the size of the range of random numbers acquired during the internal lottery of the winning combination (Example 1). Then, the value is divided by 65536). The random number value is divided in advance into several numerical ranges, and each winning combination or lose is associated with each numerical range. In addition, the symbol lottery data exists from setting 1 to setting 6 (only the symbol lottery data in setting 1 is shown in FIGS. 5 and 6). can do.

  There are big bonuses (BB1, BB2), regular bonuses (RB), small roles (cherry, bell), replay (replay), and simultaneous winning combination (pseudo watermelons 1-3). There is.

  “Big bonus (BB1, BB2)” is a special combination (operating combination) in which a big bonus game (BB game), which is a special game, is started by winning. Corresponding winning symbol combinations are “white 7-white 7-white 7” and “blue 7-blue 7-blue 7” in the first embodiment. In the first embodiment, the flag is carried over for BB1 and BB2. In other words, when BB1 or BB2 is won internally, a flag indicating this is set (stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 313 of the main control unit 300), but even if BB1 or BB2 is not won in the game, it is won. The state where the flag is raised is maintained until the game is completed, and it is assumed that BB1 or BB2 is being internally won even after the next game.

  The “regular bonus (RB)” is a special combination (operating combination) in which a regular bonus game (RB game) is started by winning. The corresponding winning symbol combination is “BAR-BAR-BAR” in the case of the first embodiment. In the first embodiment, flag carryover is performed for RB as well as BB described above.

  The “small role (cherry, bell)” is a winning combination in which a predetermined number of medals are paid out by winning, and in the case of the first embodiment, the corresponding winning symbol combination is “cherry-any-any”, and the bell is "Bell-bell-bell". Further, the corresponding payout number is as shown in FIG. In the case of “cherry-any-any”, the design of the left reel 110 may be “cherry”, and the design of the middle reel 111 and the right reel 112 may be any design.

  “Replay (replay)” is a winning combination (operator) that can play a game without inserting a medal (“game medium” according to the present invention) in the next game by winning, No withdrawal will be made. The corresponding winning symbol combination is “replay-replay-replay” in the case of the first embodiment.

  “Simultaneous winning combination (pseudo watermelons 1 to 3)” is a winning combination capable of simultaneously winning the internal combination of the three combinations of pseudo watermelons 1 to 3, and will be described in detail later, but when a predetermined condition is satisfied The transition to the replay high probability state becomes possible. In the case of the first embodiment, the corresponding winning symbol combination is “BAR-watermelon-bell” for the pseudo watermelon 1, “white 7-watermelon-replay” for the pseudo watermelon 2, and “BAR-watermelon-replay” for the pseudo watermelon 3. It is. Further, the corresponding payout number is as shown in FIG.

  <Replay high probability gaming state>

  5 (b) and 6 (a) show the types of winning combinations in the re-probability high-probability gaming state, the corresponding winning symbol combinations, the number of medals to be paid out (dividend), and the symbol lottery data (three medals inserted). FIG.

  The replay high probability state is a game state in which the winning probability of replay (replay) is set higher than that of the normal game, and is generally called replay time (RT). In the RT according to the first embodiment, the RT1 mode shown in FIG. 5B (the “first replay high probability state” according to the present invention) and the RT2 mode shown in FIG. There are two types of “second replay high probability state” according to the invention.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the transition condition to the replay high probability state.

  The transition to the RT1 mode is triggered by the end of the BB game. After the BB game ends, the RT1 mode is set for 100 games, and when the RT1 mode ends, the normal gaming state is set. Further, the transition to the RT2 mode is triggered by winning a prize for the pseudo watermelon 1 or the pseudo watermelon 2 of the simultaneous winning combination. After winning the pseudo watermelon 1 or the pseudo watermelon 2, the RT2 mode is set for one game, and when the RT2 mode ends, the normal gaming state is set.

  Returning to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the winning combinations in the RT1 mode and the RT2 mode are the same as in the normal game, but the symbol lottery data corresponding to the re-game is different. That is, the symbol lottery data corresponding to the replay of the normal game (“normal lottery data” according to the present invention) is “8978”, whereas the symbol lottery data corresponding to the replay in the RT1 mode (according to the present invention). The “first replay high probability lottery data”) is “31207” (winning probability of replay 1 / 2.1), and the symbol lottery data corresponding to the RT2 mode replay (“ 2 re-game high probability lottery data ”) is“ 38207 ”(re-game win probability 1 / 1.7), so that the win probability of re-game is higher than that of the normal game in both RT1 mode and RT2 mode. Is set. It should be noted that the winning probability of replay is set slightly higher in the RT2 mode than in the RT1 mode.

  <BB game>

  FIG. 6B shows the types of winning combinations in the BB game, the corresponding winning symbol combinations, the number of medals paid out (payout), and symbol lottery data (when three medals are inserted).

  The winning combination of the BB game in the first embodiment includes an accessory 1 and an accessory 2.

  “Combination 1” and “Combination 2” are winning combinations in which a predetermined number of medals are paid out by winning, and in the case of the first embodiment, the corresponding winning combination is “Bell-Bell-Replay”. ", The accessory 2 is" cherry-any-any ". In addition, the corresponding payout number is 15 in any case. Note that the BB game ends when a predetermined number of medals is acquired (in the first embodiment, the number of medals acquired through winning a prize exceeds 465).

  <RB game>

  FIG. 6C shows the types of winning combinations in the RB game, the corresponding winning symbol combinations, the number of medals paid out (payout), and symbol lottery data (when one medal is inserted).

  The winning combination of the RB game in the first embodiment includes a combination 1 and a combination 2, and the corresponding winning symbol combination, medal payout number, and lottery data are the same as those of the BB game. In addition, the RB game is played a predetermined number of times (12 times in the present embodiment 1), or the prizes 1 and 2 are won a predetermined number of times (8 times in the present embodiment 1). If finished.

  <Main control unit main processing>

  Next, the main process of the main control unit 300 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the flow of main processing of the main control unit 300.

  Basic control of the game is performed mainly by the Main CPU 310 of the main control unit 300, and the Main CPU 310 repeatedly executes the main control unit main process of FIG.

  When power is turned on to the slot machine 100, first, various initialization processes are executed. Thereafter, in step S101 of the main control unit main process, a process related to medal insertion is performed. Here, it is checked whether or not medals have been inserted, and the winning line display lamp 120 is turned on according to the number of inserted medals. It is not necessary to insert a medal when winning the re-game in the previous game.

  In step S102, a process related to a game start operation is performed. Here, it is checked whether or not the start lever 135 has been operated. If it is determined that the start operation has been performed, the number of inserted medals is determined. In addition, a start lever reception command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 400. The sub-control unit 400 grasps the start of the game by receiving this start lever reception command.

  In step S103, a valid pay line 114 is determined.

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

  In step S105, an internal lottery of a winning combination is performed using the random number acquired in step S104 and the symbol lottery data stored in the ROM 312. As a result of the internal lottery, when any winning combination is won internally, the winning combination flag is internally turned ON. Note that the random value acquired in step S104 may be used not only for the winning combination internal lottery but also for the lottery when the reel stop control table is selected. In step S105, a lottery result command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 400. The sub-control unit 400 grasps the result of the internal lottery by receiving this lottery result command.

  In step S106, rotation of all the reels 110 to 112 is started by a reel rotation start process. At this time, based on the internal lottery result in step S105, the stop position data selection table is referred to, and any one reel stop control table is selected.

  In step S107, the reels 110 to 112 corresponding to the pressed stop buttons 137 to 139 are stopped from rotating by the reel stop control process. At this time, the reels 110 to 112 are stopped based on the reel stop control table selected in step S106. In step S107, a stop position symbol command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 400. By receiving this stop position symbol command, the sub-control unit 400 grasps at which symbol position each reel 110 to 112 is stopped.

  In step S108, the winning determination of the symbols stopped when the stop buttons 137 to 139 are pressed is performed. Here, it is determined that the winning combination is won when the winning winning combination 114 corresponding to the internal winning winning combination or the winning combination having the flag carried over is arranged (displayed). . For example, if “Replay-Replay-Replay” is arranged on the validated winning line 114, it is determined that the player wins the replay. In step S108, a determination result command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 400. The sub-control unit 400 grasps the winning result by receiving the determination result command.

  In step S109, a medal payout process is performed. In this medal payout process, if any winning combination with payout (dividend) is won, the number of medals corresponding to the winning combination is paid out.

  In step S110, a game state control process is performed. Although details will be described later, in this gaming state control process, control for shifting the gaming state is performed. For example, in the case of BB winning or SRB winning (when a predetermined transition condition is satisfied), The SRB game is prepared to be started, and the final game is prepared so that the normal game can be started from the next time.

  Thus, one game is completed, and thereafter, the game proceeds by repeating the main control unit main process.

  <Game state update processing>

  Next, the game state update process (step S110) in the main process of the main control unit 300 will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is a flowchart showing the flow of the game state update process.

  In step S201, it is determined whether or not the current gaming state is a BB game. If the game is a BB game, the process proceeds to step S205. If not, the process proceeds to step S202.

  In step S202, it is determined whether or not the current gaming state is the RT1 mode. If it is the RT1 mode, the process proceeds to step S204. If not, the process proceeds to step S203.

  In step S203, it is determined whether or not the current gaming state is the RT2 mode. If it is the RT2 mode, the process proceeds to step S204. If not, the process proceeds to step S208.

  In step S204, the RT game number counter is updated by subtracting 1 from the RT game number counter. The RT game number counter is a variable used to count the number of games in the RT1 mode or the RT2 mode.

  In step S205, it is determined whether a BB game end condition is satisfied. If the BB game end condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S206. Otherwise, the process proceeds to step S216.

  In step S206, after the game mode is set to the RT1 mode, the process proceeds to step S207.

  In step S207, 100, which is the number of games in the RT1 mode, is set as the value of the RT game number counter.

  In step S208, it is determined whether or not the internal winning flag corresponding to the simultaneous winning combination (pseudo watermelons 1 to 3) is set, that is, whether or not the simultaneous winning combination (pseudo watermelons 1 to 3) is internally won. To do. If the simultaneous winning combination (pseudo watermelons 1 to 3) is won internally, the process proceeds to step S209. If not, the process proceeds to step S216.

  In step S209, the value of the RT game number counter is saved (stored) in storage means such as the RAM 314.

  In step S210, the RT game number counter is cleared (initialized).

  In step S211, it is determined whether or not the winning combination is the pseudo watermelon 3. If the pseudo watermelon 3 is won, the process proceeds to step S213, and if not, the process proceeds to step S212.

  In step S212, the game mode is set to the RT2 mode and the RT game number in the RT2 mode is set in the RT game number counter, and then the process proceeds to step S216.

  In step S213, it is determined whether or not watermelon symbols are aligned on a plurality of effective lines. If the watermelon symbols are ready, the process proceeds to step S214. If not, the process proceeds to step S212.

  In step S214, it is determined whether or not the current game mode is RT1. If the current game mode is the RT1 mode, the process proceeds to step S215. Otherwise, the process proceeds to step S216.

  In step S215, the value of the RT game number counter stored in step S209 is reset in the RT game number counter, and the process proceeds to step S216.

  Here, the effective line in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  This figure is a schematic front view of the symbol display window 113 of the slot machine 100, and three symbols of each reel 110 to 112 are displayed in the vertical direction from the symbol display window 113 so that a total of nine symbols can be seen. It has become.

  The effective lines of the first embodiment are the upper right winning line L1 configured by the lower stage of the left reel 110, the middle stage of the middle reel 111, and the upper stage of the right reel 112, the middle stage of the left reel 110, the middle stage of the middle reel 111, the right side. It consists of three winning lines, a middle horizontal winning line L2 configured by the middle stage of the reel 112, and a right falling winning line L3 configured by the upper stage of the left reel 110, the middle stage of the middle reel 111, and the lower stage of the right reel 112. The

  In this gaming state update process, when “pseudo watermelon 3 is won and watermelon symbols are arranged on a plurality of active lines”, the game mode is not set to the RT2 mode (the process of step S210 is executed). The current game mode is continued). Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 10 (b), the symbol combination “BAR-watermelon-replay” corresponding to the pseudo watermelon 3 is aligned on the middle horizontal winning line L2 (winning the pseudo watermelon 3) and the right side. When three watermelon symbols “Watermelon-Watermelon-Watermelon” are aligned on the rising winning line L1 and the right falling winning line L3 (hereinafter, three watermelon symbols “Watermelon-Watermelon-Watermelon” are aligned on two effective lines) Is sometimes simply referred to as “double line watermelon display”), 15 medals are paid out by winning the pseudo watermelon 3 and the current game mode is continued.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a change in the internal winning probability of replay when the pseudo watermelon 3 is won during the RT1 mode and the watermelon symbols are aligned on a plurality of active lines.

  During BB game, the probability of winning internally for replay is 0, but when the BB game ends, when the player transitions to RT1 mode, the internal winning probability of replay becomes 1 / 2.1 (= 31207/65536). Is set. If the pseudo watermelon 3 is won and the double line watermelon is displayed during the RT1 mode, the RT1 mode, which is the current game mode, is not interrupted and continues for 100 games from the end of the BB game. Is done. When the RT1 mode ends, the internal winning probability of replay is set to 1 / 7.3 (= 8978/65536).

  On the other hand, in the game state update process, the RT2 mode is set as the game mode except for “when winning the pseudo watermelon 3 and watermelon symbols are arranged on a plurality of active lines” (see step S212 above). Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 10 (c), in the middle horizontal winning line L2, the symbol combination of “white 7-watermelon-replay” corresponding to the pseudo watermelon 2 is aligned (winning the pseudo watermelon 2). In addition, when three watermelon symbols “watermelon-watermelon-watermelon” are aligned on the lower-right winning line L3 (hereinafter, a state where three watermelon symbols “watermelon-watermelon-watermelon” are aligned on one effective line is simply In the case of “single line watermelon display”, seven medals are paid out by winning the pseudo watermelon 2 and the current game mode is changed to the RT2 mode.

  FIG. 12 shows a case where the pseudo watermelon 1 or 2 is won in the RT1 mode and the single line watermelon display is made, the pseudo watermelon 3 is won and the double line watermelon display is not made (double line watermelon display). It is the figure which showed the change of the internal winning probability of replay in the case where the missed eyes of the pseudo watermelons 1 to 3 are displayed.

  In this case, the transition to the RT1 mode is the same as the end of the BB game, but during this RT1 mode, when (1) the pseudo watermelon 1 is won and the single line watermelon display is made, 2) When winning a pseudo watermelon 2 and displaying a single line watermelon, (3) When winning a pseudo watermelon 3 and not displaying a double line watermelon, (4) Dropping the pseudo watermelons 1-3 When the eye is displayed, the RT1 mode is changed to the RT2 mode (the number of RT games is overwritten from one RT1 mode game to one RT2 mode game, and RT ends). When the RT2 mode ends, the internal winning probability of replay is set to 1 / 7.3 (= 8978/65536).

  Returning to FIG. 9, in step S216, other flag setting processing and flag erasing processing are performed. In step S217, if a new game mode is set, the current game mode is changed to a new game mode. After the transition, other game update processing is performed, and then the processing ends.

  As described above, the slot machine 100 according to the first embodiment includes a plurality of reels 110 to 112 having a plurality of types of symbols and reel stop means for stopping the reels 110 to 112 (first embodiment). , Stop means 110 to 112), storage means (ROM 312 in the first embodiment) for storing lottery data composed of winning data corresponding to a plurality of predetermined combinations, and lottery stored in the storage means Using data, lottery means (in the first embodiment, internal lottery processing) for determining whether or not the internal winning of the combination is successful, and reel stop control means for stopping the reels 110 to 112 according to the lottery result by the lottery means (In the first embodiment, the reel control process) and a special game mode (in the first embodiment, in which a predetermined profit is obtained when a predetermined transition condition is satisfied. Game mode transition control means (game state update processing in the first embodiment) for transitioning to any one of a plurality of types of game modes including a replay high probability state), and the reel stop control means is a lottery by a lottery means When the result is a specific lottery result (in the case of the internal winning in the simultaneous winning combination (pseudo watermelons 1 to 3) in the first embodiment), the reel stop means is operated in the first operation mode. (In the first embodiment, when the stop buttons 137 to 139 are operated aiming at winning the pseudo watermelon 1 or 2 and displaying the single line watermelon), the transition to the gaming state advantageous to the single active line is made. When the combination of the index symbols shown (“Watermelon-Watermelon-Watermelon” in the first embodiment) is displayed and the reel stop means is operated in the second operation mode (in the first embodiment, a prize is given to the pseudo watermelon 3). When When the stop buttons 137 to 139 are operated with the aim of displaying the bull line watermelon), it is possible to stop the rotating reel so that the combination of the index symbols is displayed on a plurality of effective lines, and the game mode shifts. When the combination of the index symbols is displayed on a single effective line (in the case of the single line watermelon display in the first embodiment), the control means determines the specific lottery result by the lottery means. The game mode is set to shift to the game mode different from the game mode of the time (in the case of the internal winning of the simultaneous winning combination (pseudo watermelons 1 to 3)), and the combination of the index symbols is displayed on a plurality of effective lines In this case (in the first embodiment, when the double line watermelon display is made), the game mode when the determination of the specific lottery result is made by the lottery means is continued. Set the game mode to continue.

  According to such a slot machine 100, the game mode type and the game mode transition opportunity can be varied depending on the stop mode of the stop means by the player. Therefore, the player's intention can be reflected in the transition of the game mode, and the player's willingness to play can be improved as compared with the conventional game table.

  Particularly, when the first display result is displayed (in the case of the single line watermelon display in the first embodiment), the game mode transition control means is configured to play the game mode in the internal winning of the combination (this embodiment). When the game mode is set so as to shift to a game mode (RT2 mode in the first embodiment) that is different from the RT1 mode in the first embodiment and the second display result is displayed (double line in the first embodiment). When the watermelon is displayed), the game mode is set so as to continue the game mode (the RT1 mode in the first embodiment) at the time of the internal winning of the role. Thus, it is possible to select whether to continue the current game mode or change the game mode by one's own intention, and to increase the interest of the player.

  Further, the plurality of types of combinations include at least a re-playing combination that can start a game without inserting a game medium, and the lottery data stored in the storage means is used at least for a normal game. Normal lottery data set so that the probability of internal winning for the re-gamer becomes a predetermined probability, and the probability of internal winning for the re-gamer is set to be higher than the predetermined probability of the normal lottery data. Since the re-game high probability lottery data is included, the special game mode is a re-game player high probability state in which the lottery data used for the lottery means is changed from the normal lottery data to the re-game high probability lottery data. The present invention can be applied to a gaming machine that can be shifted to a replay high probability state (replay time), and the gameability in the replay high probability state can be improved.

  In addition, if the player is further provided with notification processing means (for example, a liquid crystal display device, a speaker, an effect lamp, etc.) for notifying in the predetermined notification manner when the winning combination is won by the lottery means, It is possible to easily grasp that the player has won internally and to improve the interest of the player.

  Next, a slot machine according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention will be described. In order to avoid redundant description, only the parts different from the slot machine according to the first embodiment will be described below.

  <Pattern arrangement>

  FIG. 13 is a diagram in which the arrangement of symbols applied to the reels 110 to 112 of the slot machine according to the second embodiment is developed in a plane.

  In the slot machine according to the second embodiment, the same symbol as that used in the slot machine 100 according to the first embodiment is applied, but the arrangement is different, and the cherry symbol of the left reel 110 is It is arranged at a position where it can be surely drawn on the effective line by the reel control process.

  <Normal game>

  FIG. 14A is a diagram showing the types of winning combinations in a normal game, the corresponding winning symbol combinations, the number of medals to be paid out (payout), and symbol lottery data (when three medals are inserted).

  In the normal game winning combination, there are a big bonus (BB1, BB2), a regular bonus (RB), a simultaneous winning combination (Cherry & Bell), a re-game (replay), and a small combination (watermelon). The big bonus, regular bonus, and replay are the same as those in the slot machine according to the first embodiment.

  "Simultaneous winning combination (Cherry & Bell)" is a combination of two types of winning combination of cherry and bell, and the internal winning of simultaneous winning combination makes it possible to simultaneously receive two types of winning combination of cherry and bell. It is possible to win. In the case of the first embodiment, the corresponding winning symbol combination is “cherry-any-any” or “bell-bell-bell”. Further, the corresponding payout number is as shown in FIG. In the case of “cherry-any-any”, the design of the left reel 110 may be “cherry”, and the design of the middle reel 111 and the right reel 112 may be any design.

  The “small role (watermelon)” is a winning combination in which a predetermined number of medals are paid out by winning. In the case of the first embodiment, the corresponding winning symbol combination is “watermelon-watermelon-watermelon”. Further, the corresponding payout number is as shown in FIG.

  <Replay high probability gaming state>

  14 (b) and 15 (a) show the types of winning combinations in the replay high probability gaming state, the corresponding winning symbol combinations, the number of medals to be paid out (dividend), and the symbol lottery data (three medals inserted). FIG.

  There are two types of RT (replay high probability state) according to the second embodiment: an RT1 mode shown in FIG. 14 (b) and an RT2 mode shown in FIG. 15 (a).

  FIG. 16 is a diagram showing a transition condition to the replay high probability state.

  The transition to the RT1 mode is triggered by the end of the BB game. After the BB game ends, the RT1 mode is set for 100 games, and when the RT1 mode ends, the normal gaming state is set. In addition, the transition to the RT2 mode is triggered by winning a simultaneous winning combination cherry. After winning the cherry, the RT2 mode is set for one game, and when the RT2 mode ends, the normal gaming state is set.

  FIG. 17A shows a symbol displayed on the symbol display window 113 when the stop buttons 137 to 139 are operated in order, and a symbol displayed on the symbol display window 113 when the stop buttons 137 to 139 are operated in reverse. FIG.

  The “forward press” means that the stop buttons 137 to 139 are stopped at the left stop button 137 → the middle stop button 138 → the right to stop the reels 110 to 112 in the order of the left reel 110 → the middle reel 111 → the right reel 112. This means pressing the stop buttons 139 in this order. Also, “reverse pressing” is reverse to “forward pressing”, and stop buttons 137 to 139 are pressed in the order of right stop button 139 → middle stop button 138 → left stop button 137, and reels 110 to 112 are moved to the right reel. Stopping in the order of 112 → middle reel 111 → left reel 110.

  In the slot machine according to the second embodiment, when the stop buttons 137 to 139 are stopped by forward pressing, the symbol combination “cherry-any-any” corresponding to the simultaneous winning combination cherry on the active line is obtained by the reel control process. The stop control of the reels 110 to 112 is performed so that is always displayed. Therefore, when the stop buttons 137 to 139 are pressed in order, 100% of the cherries in the simultaneous winning combination are won, and the game mode shifts to the RT2 mode as shown in FIG. The number is overwritten from 100 games in the RT1 mode to one game in the RT2 mode, and the RT ends.) When the RT2 mode ends, the internal winning probability of replay is set to 1 / 7.3 (= 8978/65536).

  On the other hand, when the stop buttons 137 to 139 are stopped by reverse pressing, stop control is performed so that the symbol combination “bell-bell-bell” corresponding to the simultaneous winning combination bell can be displayed on the active line by the reel control process. . In this case, if the player can align “bell-bell-bell” on the active line, the player does not finish RT (the game mode does not shift to the RT2 mode) and pays out 12 medals. Can receive. However, if “Bell-Bell-Bell” cannot be aligned on the active line and the simultaneous winning combination cherry is won, eight medals are paid out and then RT ends.

  The reel stop control means of the slot machine according to the second embodiment is a reel stop means (in the first embodiment, when the winning combination (Cherry & Bell in the second embodiment) is won internally by the lottery means. When the stop buttons 137 to 139) are operated in the first operation procedure (in this embodiment, forward pressing), the first display result (the symbol combination “cherry-any-any” corresponding to cherry) is displayed. When the reel stop means is operated by a second operation procedure (reverse pressing in the second embodiment) different from the first operation procedure, the second display result (different from the first display result) The spinning reel can be stopped so that the “bell-bell-bell” symbol combination corresponding to the bell is displayed, and the game mode transition control means displays the first display result. The lottery means Therefore, the game mode is set so as to shift to a game mode different from the game mode when the specific lottery result is determined (in the case of internal winning of simultaneous winning combination (Cherry & Bell)), and the second display result Is displayed, the game mode is set so as to continue the game mode when the specific lottery result is determined by the lottery means.

  According to such a slot machine, the game mode type and the game mode transition timing can be varied according to the operating procedure of the stopping means by the player. Therefore, the player's intention can be reflected in the transition of the game mode, and the player's willingness to play can be improved as compared with the conventional game table.

  Next, a slot machine according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention will be described. In order to avoid redundant description, only parts different from the slot machine according to the second embodiment will be described below.

  <Pattern arrangement>

  FIG. 18 is a diagram in which the arrangement of symbols applied to the reels 110 to 112 of the slot machine according to the third embodiment is developed in a plane.

  In the slot machine according to the third embodiment, the “red 7 symbol” is applied instead of the “white 7 symbol” used in the slot machine 100 according to the second embodiment, and the “blank symbol” is changed. A “chance pattern” having three types of patterns of chances 1 to 3 is applied.

  <Replay high probability gaming state>

  FIG. 19A is a diagram showing a condition for shifting to the replay high probability state.

  There are two types of RT (replay high probability state) according to the third embodiment: RT1 mode and RT2 mode. The transition to the RT1 mode is triggered by the end of the BB game. After the BB game ends, the RT1 mode is set for 100 games, and when the RT1 mode ends, the normal gaming state is set.

  The transition to the RT2 mode is triggered by winning a small role (watermelon) or winning a chance role (a combination of “chance 1-chance 2—chance 3” symbols on the active line). It becomes. When winning a small role (watermelon), the RT2 mode is set for 6 games from the next game, and the normal gaming state is set when the RT2 mode ends. On the other hand, when a winning combination is won, the RT2 mode is set for 16 games from the next game, and the normal gaming state is entered when the RT2 mode ends.

  FIG. 19B is a diagram showing winning conditions for a small combination (watermelon) and a chance combination, a corresponding symbol combination, and a payout.

  In the third embodiment, the internal winning of the small role (watermelon) is a winning condition for the small role (watermelon) or the chance role, and when the internal winning is made to the small role (watermelon), the player It is possible to align either the symbol combination “watermelon-watermelon-watermelon” corresponding to “watermelon” or the symbol combination “chance 1-chance 2—chance 3” corresponding to the chance role on the effective line. Yes. Then, when “watermelon-watermelon-watermelon” are arranged on the active line and a small role (watermelon) is won, 15 medals are paid out and the mode shifts to the RT2 mode (6 games). On the other hand, when “chance 1−chance 2−chance 3” is aligned on the active line and the winning combination is won, the medal payout is 0, but the mode shifts to the RT2 mode (16 games).

  FIG. 20 is a diagram comparing a player's profit by winning a small role (watermelon) and a player's profit by winning a chance role.

  As described above, when winning a small role (watermelon), in the third embodiment, 15 medals are paid out and the mode shifts to the RT2 mode (6 games). In other words, considering the profits of the player's dividend, the player inserts 3 medals into the game and receives 15 medals paid out by the dividend, so 15-3-3 = 12 profits. Will receive. Also, considering the benefits of the player's RT game, the player can advance the game with a high probability of replay between the next game and 6 games, so the internal winning probability of replay is considered. Thus, the expected number of re-games is two, and the player can play two more games without inserting medals.

  On the other hand, when winning the chance combination, in the third embodiment, the medal payout is 0, but the mode shifts to the RT2 mode (16 games). In other words, considering the profits of the player's dividend, the player inserts three medals into the game, but since the dividend is 0, 0-3-3 = 3 It will have received the profit and loss. Also, considering the benefits of the player's RT game, the player can advance the game with a high probability of replay between the next game and 16 games, so the internal winning probability of the regame is considered. Thus, the expected number of re-games is 8, and the player can play 8 more games without inserting medals.

  As described above, the reel stop control means of the slot machine according to the third embodiment receives a winning corresponding to the internal winning combination when the winning combination (the small combination (watermelon in the third embodiment)) is won internally by the lottery means. When the reel stop means (stop buttons 137 to 139 in this embodiment 3) is operated at a position where the symbol combination ("watermelon-watermelon-watermelon" in this embodiment 3) can be displayed on the effective line, the winning symbol is displayed. The combination is displayed, and the reel stop means is operated at a position where a non-winning symbol combination (“chance 1−chance 2−chance 3” in the third embodiment) that does not correspond to the winning combination can be displayed on the active line. In such a case, it is possible to stop the spinning reel so as to display the non-winning symbol combination, and the game mode transition control means is configured to display the case where the winning symbol combination is displayed and the non-winning symbol combination. Was it shifts the game mode differs between when it is displayed (in this embodiment 3, RT2 mode (6 games) or RT2 mode (16 games)).

  According to such a slot machine, the game mode type and the game mode transition timing can be varied depending on the operation timing of the stop means by the player. Therefore, the player's intention can be reflected in the transition of the game mode, and the player's willingness to play can be improved as compared with the conventional game table.

  In particular, the game mode transition control means displays the first display result (when the winning symbol combination is displayed in the third embodiment) and the second display result (the third embodiment). Since the game mode is set so as to shift to a different game mode (when a non-winning symbol combination is displayed), the variation of the game mode can be increased, and the game motivation of the player can be increased. it can.

  When the game mode transition control means displays a winning symbol combination, at least the game mode is set so as to shift to a game mode more advantageous to the player than the normal game, and the non-winning symbol combination If the game mode is set so that the game mode is shifted to a disadvantageous game mode when the specific lottery result is determined by the lottery means, the progress of the game becomes monotonous. There is no such thing and the game can be improved.

  In addition, the game mode transition control means has a different degree of advantage for the player when the first display result is displayed and when the second display result is displayed (in the third embodiment, RT is different). Since the game mode is shifted to a different game mode, it is possible to increase the variation of the game mode, improve the playability as compared with the conventional game stand, and the player can play a game mode ( For example, it is possible to select a game mode with a large number of RT games, a game mode with a high internal winning probability of a re-gamer, and the like, thereby enhancing the interest of the player.

  In addition, when the first display result is displayed, the game mode transition control means sets the game mode so as to shift to the first replay high probability state (RT2 mode (6 games)), When the second display result is displayed, the game mode is set so as to shift to the second high replay probability state (RT2 mode (16 games)), so the variation of the replay probability state is increased. Therefore, it is possible to improve the gameability in the replay high probability state as compared with the conventional game stand.

  Next, a slot machine according to Embodiment 4 of the present invention will be described. The slot machine according to the fourth embodiment is obtained by changing the reel control process of the slot machine according to the first embodiment. Hereinafter, only parts different from the slot machine according to the first embodiment will be described in order to avoid redundant description.

  <Reel control processing>

  First, the reel control process according to the fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is a flowchart showing the flow of the reel control process.

  In step S301, a pull-in control preparation process is performed to start the stop control of the reels 110 to 112. In the pull-in control preparation process, the reel stop control method and the address of the reel stop control table are acquired as preparation for the pull-in control of each reel 110 to 112.

  In step S302, a stop preparation process for the reels 110 to 112 is performed. In this stop preparation process, a reel stop position (design stop position information) is set based on the reel stop control method and the reel stop control table acquired in step S301.

  In step S303, the reel stop status (a variable indicating) is set to “waiting for stop button reception”.

  In step S304, it is determined whether any one of stop buttons (stop buttons) 137 to 139 has been pressed. If any of the stop buttons 137 to 139 is pressed, the process proceeds to step S305. If not, the process waits for any of the stop buttons 137 to 139 to be pressed.

  In step S305, the reel stop status (a variable indicating it) is set to “stop button reception prohibited”.

  In step 306, a stop button reception command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 400. Thereby, the sub-control unit 400 grasps that the stop buttons 137 to 139 are operated.

  In step S307, a reel stop process (details will be described later) is performed.

  In step S308, it is determined whether or not all stop buttons 137 to 139 have been pressed. If all the stop buttons 137 to 139 are pressed, the process proceeds to step S309. If not, the process returns to step S302 to stop other reels.

  In step S309, a stop information command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 400. Thereby, the sub-control unit 400 grasps stop information regarding the stop of the reel.

  <Reel stop processing>

  Next, the reel stop process (step S307) in the reel control process will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is a flowchart showing the flow of reel stop processing.

  In step S401, symbol position data indicating the symbol position when the stop buttons 137 to 139 are operated is acquired.

  In step S402, the symbol stop position information determined in the stop preparation process described above is acquired.

  In step S403, the number of frames to be drawn is set based on the symbol position data acquired in step 401 and the symbol stop position information acquired in step S402.

  In step S404, the reels 110 to 112 are stopped at a target stop position based on the number of drawn frames set in step S403.

  In step S405, it is determined whether or not the stopped reel is the first stopped reel, that is, whether or not it is the first stopped reel among the three reels 110 to 112. If it is the first stop reel, the process proceeds to step S406, and if not, the process ends.

  In step S406, a preliminary determination process (details will be described later) is performed.

  <Preliminary judgment processing>

  Next, referring to FIG. 23, the pre-determination process (step S406) in the reel stop process will be described. This figure is a flowchart showing the flow of the prior determination process.

  In step S501, the stop symbol position (the symbol position displayed in the symbol display window 113) of the stopped reel is confirmed.

  In step S502, temporary symbol stop position information is set for the rotating reel.

  In step S503, symbol position information is set for all reels.

  In step S504, the number of effective lines is acquired.

  In step S505, the symbol position information of the left reel 110, the middle reel 111, and the right reel 112 is read out.

  In step S506, it is determined whether there is a change symbol. If there is a variation symbol, the process proceeds to step S507, and if not, the process proceeds to step S509.

  In the fourth embodiment, as shown in FIG. 24, two types of “Cherry-any-any” and “Cherry-any-BAR” are set as the changing symbols. These two types of variation symbols have different profits obtained by the player depending on whether the cherry 1 is won internally or if the cherry 2 is internally won. More specifically, when Cherry 1 is internally won and “Cherry-any-any” is aligned on the active line by pressing forward, or Cherry 2 is internally won and pressed backward to “Cherry” When “-any-BAR” is aligned on the active line, the game shifts to the RT2 mode for one game from the next game.

  On the other hand, when “Cherry-any-BAR” is lined up on the active line by reverse-pressing Cherry 1 or “Cherry-any-any” is won by Cherry 2 and winning internally. ”On the active line, the next game is shifted to the RT1 mode, and the RT1 mode continues until the bonus is won internally.

  Returning to FIG. 23, in step 507, it is determined whether or not the variation permission flags 1 to 4 have been set. If the change permission flags 1 to 4 have been set, the process proceeds to step S509, and if not, the process proceeds to step S508.

  In step S508, a variation permission flag corresponding to the variation symbol is set. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 24, the change permission flag 1 is set when the cherry 1 is won internally and “cherry-any-any” is aligned on the active line by forward pressing.

  In step S509, it is determined whether or not the pre-winning has been verified for all active lines. If the verification has been completed, the process ends. If not, the process proceeds to step S505 to verify the pre-winning for other active lines.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 25, the change in the gaming state due to the display of the variation symbol will be specifically described.

  For example, when the cherry 2 is internally won and “cherry-any-any” is aligned on the active line by forward pressing, the change permission flag 3 is set in step S508 of the pre-determination process, In the game state update process, the game mode is set to the RT1 mode, and the RT1 mode is started from the next game.

  The RT1 mode is continued until the bonus is won internally, but if the cherry 1 is internally won and the “cherry-any-any” is aligned on the active line by the forward push during the RT1 mode, or the cherry 2 and when the “Cherry-any-BAR” is aligned on the active line by reverse pressing, the game mode is changed to the RT2 mode as described above (the number of RT games is the RT1 mode). Is overwritten with one game in the RT2 mode, and RT ends.)

  In FIG. 25, as an opportunity to start RT1, an example is shown in which “Cherry-any-any” is aligned on the effective line by internally pressing Cherry 2 and pressing it forward, but this embodiment 4 Then, RT1 is also started when Cherry 1 is won internally and “Cherry-any-BAR” is aligned on the active line by reverse pressing.

  According to the slot machine according to the fourth embodiment, when the winning combination (Cherry 1 or Cherry 2 in the fourth embodiment) is won internally by the lottery means, all the reels 110 to 112 are used before being stopped. Pre-determination means (pre-determination in the fourth embodiment) for performing a pre-determination as to whether or not the corresponding symbol combination ("Cherry-any-any" or "Cherry-any-BAR" in the fourth embodiment) is prepared. Processing) is further provided, it is possible to reliably avoid erroneous winning such as winning a winning combination other than the winning combination.

  Further, since the game mode transition control means shifts the game mode in accordance with the determination result of the prior determination means, there is no possibility of shifting to the wrong game mode due to erroneous winning, and the game mode transition Can be done normally.

  The gaming machine according to the present invention is not limited to the structure of the slot machine as shown in the above embodiment.

  Therefore, for example, in the first and second embodiments, when the first display result is displayed, the game mode transition control means shifts to a game mode different from the game mode at the time of internal winning of the combination, In the case where the display result of 2 is displayed, an example of continuing the game mode at the time of internal winning of the combination is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the game mode transition control means according to the present invention What is necessary is just to transfer a game mode based on the display result of 1 and the 2nd display result.

  In the above embodiment, an example of a slot machine using medals (coins) as a game medium is shown. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, a game ball (for example, a pachinko ball) is used as a game. The present invention can also be applied to slot machines (so-called parrots) and pachinko machines used as media.

  Here, the pachinko gaming machine to which the present invention is applied includes a variable display device having a movable body such as a reel (rotating body) and variably displaying a predetermined symbol (identification information), and a game ball at a start winning opening. An example is a pachinko gaming machine in which a variable display device displays a stop after a symbol is changed, and notifies a transition of a gaming state, triggered by winning a prize.

  In such a pachinko gaming machine, when a game ball enters the start winning opening, a lottery is performed and it is determined whether or not the lottery result is a win. When winning the jackpot in this lottery, the variable display device displays a combination (a jackpot symbol; for example, 777) based on a specific symbol and shifts to a jackpot state. In the big hit state, for example, the big prize opening is kept open for a predetermined time or a predetermined number of times, so that the game ball is easy to enter and a state advantageous to the player is realized. In addition, when the combination of a specific symbol (hit jackpot symbol) is a jackpot symbol (probability variation symbol) with a probability variation, the probability of the next jackpot increases, and a more advantageous state for the player is realized. .

  The present invention can be applied to game machines represented by slot machines and pachinko machines.
