Description

  The present invention relates to a game machine represented by a slot machine, a pachinko machine, and the like.

  In a conventional game machine (for example, a slot machine), a reel is rotated by inserting a medal and operating a start lever, an internal lottery is determined by internal lottery, and a reel is stopped by operating a stop button. When a combination of symbols predetermined according to the internal determination is displayed on the symbol display window, a winning combination is established, and when a winning combination with a medal payout is established, a prescribed number of medals are paid out. It is like that.

As one of such conventional gaming tables, a normal game state is provided when the player has a re-gamer who can play the next game without newly inserting medals and the big bonus is over. There has been proposed a gaming machine configured to be controlled to a “regame lottery rate improvement state”, which is a gaming state in which the internal winning probability of the regamer is higher (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

For example, when the frequency of the crystal oscillator 311 is 12 MHz, the divided clock is 6 MHz. The CPU 310 operates by receiving the clock divided by the clock correction circuit 314 as a system clock.

  The CPU 310 is connected to a timer circuit 315 for setting a timer interrupt processing cycle for constantly monitoring the sensor and switch states and a motor drive pulse transmission cycle via a bus. When the power is turned on, the CPU 310 transmits the frequency dividing data stored in the predetermined area of the ROM 312 to the timer circuit 315 via the data bus. The timer circuit 315 determines an interrupt time based on the received frequency division data, and transmits an interrupt request to the CPU 310 at each interrupt time. In response to this interrupt request, the CPU 310 executes monitoring of each sensor and transmission of drive pulses. For example, when the system clock of the CPU 310 is set to 6 MHz, the frequency division value of the timer circuit 315 is set to 1/256, and the data for frequency division of the ROM 312 is set to 44, the reference time for this interrupt is 256 × 44 ÷ 6 MHz = 1. 877 ms.

The CPU 310 exchanges signals with external devices via these interfaces. An index sensor 325 is connected to the input interface 361. The index sensor 325 is installed at a predetermined position on the mounting base of each of the reels 110 to 112, and becomes a high level every time the light shielding piece provided on the reels 110 to 112 passes through the index sensor 325. When detecting this signal, the CPU 310 determines that the reel has made one rotation, and resets the rotational position information of the reel to zero. The output interface 370 includes a reel motor driving unit 330 that controls a motor for driving the reel, and a motor for a hopper (a device for paying out medals accumulated in the bucket from the medal payout outlet 155, not shown). A hopper motor driving unit 331 for driving, a game lamp 340 (specifically, a winning line display lamp 120, a start lamp 121, a re-playing lamp 122, an announcement lamp 123, a medal insertion lamp 124, etc.) and 7 segments ( A SEG) display 341 (a payout number display 125, a game number display 126, a stored number display 127, etc.) is connected.

  A random number generation circuit 317 is connected to the CPU 310 via a data bus. The random number generation circuit 317 is an increment counter capable of incrementing a value within a certain range based on a clock oscillated from the crystal oscillator 311 and the crystal oscillator 316 and outputting the count value to the CPU 310, which will be described later. Used for various lottery processes, including internal lottery for winning positions. An output interface 371 for transmitting a command to the sub control unit 400 is connected to the data bus of the CPU 310. Information communication between the main control unit 300 and the sub control unit 400 is a one-way communication, and the main control unit 300 transmits a command to the sub control unit 400.

  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 symbol “white 7” is assigned to the number 2 frame of the left reel 110, the symbol “bell” is assigned to the number 0 frame of the middle reel 111, and the number 0 frame of the right reel 112 is assigned to the number 0 frame. Are arranged with “Replay” symbols. The names of other symbols are as shown in the table on the right side of the figure.

  <Type of winning prize>

  Next, the types of winning combinations of the slot machine 100 will be described with reference to FIG. The figure shows the types of winning combinations, the symbol combinations corresponding to each winning combination, and the operation or payout of each winning combination.

  Among the winning combinations in this specification, the big bonuses (BB1 to BB4) and the regular bonuses (RB1 and RB2) are used as symbols for shifting to the bonus game, and the replays (replay) 1 to 4 newly insert medals. The symbols that can be re-played without being distinguished from the winning combination may be referred to as the “acting combination”, but the “winning combination” in this specification includes the big bonus and the regular bonus that are the operating combination. Replays are included.

  In addition, the “winning” in this specification includes a case where a symbol combination of an actuator not accompanied by a medal payout is displayed on an active line, for example, a big bonus, a regular bonus, a replay winning Is included.

  The winning combination includes a single combination constituted by one winning combination and a simultaneous winning combination capable of simultaneously winning a plurality of winning combinations.

  The single role of the first embodiment includes a big bonus (BB1 to BB4), a regular bonus (RB1, RB2), a shift regular bonus (SRB), a small role (Bell 1, Bell 2, watermelon, cherry) There are replays 1-4.

  “Big Bonus (BB1 to BB4)” is a special combination (operating combination) in which a big bonus game (BB game) which is a special game is started by winning. In the case of the first embodiment, the corresponding winning symbol combinations are BB1 “white 7-white 7-white 7”, BB2 “bonus-bonus-bonus”, BB3 “white 7-white 7-bonus”, BB4. Is “Bonus-Bonus-White 7”. In the first embodiment, flag carryover is performed for BB1 to BB4. That is, when BB1 to BB4 are 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 the BB1 to BB4 are not won in the game, the prize is won. The state where the flag is raised is maintained until the game is completed, and it is assumed that BB1 to BB4 are being internally won even after the next game.

  The “regular bonus (RB1, RB2)” is a special combination (operating combination) in which a regular bonus game (RB game) is started by winning. In the case of the present embodiment 1, the corresponding winning symbol combinations are RB1 “blue 7-blue 7-watermelon” and RB2 “blue 7-watermelon-watermelon”. In the first embodiment, flag carryover is performed for RB as well as BB described above.

  The “shift regular bonus (SRB)” is a special combination (operating combination) in which a regular bonus game (RB game) is started by winning. The corresponding winning symbol combination is “replay-bell-replay” in the case of the first embodiment. The SRB is the same as the RB1 and RB2 in that the RB game is activated, but the probability of winning internally is higher than the RB1 and RB2 during the BB, and the corresponding winning symbol (in the first embodiment, the replay). And the bell) are distributed on each of the reels 110 to 112 (see FIG. 6), so that the player can easily push the eye. In addition, RB game is implemented for 12 games for all RB1, RB2, and SRB, and RB game is completed by winning 8 times.

  “Short (Bell 1, Bell 2, Watermelon, Cherry)” (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as “bell, watermelon, cherry”) is a winning combination in which a predetermined number of medals are paid out by winning, and corresponding winning symbol combinations In the first embodiment, the bell 1 is “bell-bell-bell”, the bell 2 is “watermelon-bell-bell”, the watermelon is “watermelon-watermelon-watermelon”, and the cherry is “cherry-any-any”. It is. 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.

  “Replays (replay) 1 to 4” are winning combinations (acting players) that can play a game without inserting medals (game media) in the next game by winning, and medals are paid out. Absent. In the case of the first embodiment, the corresponding winning symbol combinations are “replay-replay-replay” for replay 1, “replay-replay-bell” for replay 2, and “replay-bell-bell” for replay 3. "Replay 4 is" Replay-Cherry-Replay ".

  It is needless to say that the type of winning combination is not limited to the winning combination shown in the first embodiment and can be arbitrarily adopted.

  The gaming state of the slot machine 100 is broadly classified into a normal game (including the time when the BB internal winning is performed), a replay high probability state, a BB game (including the time when the RB internal winning is performed), and an RB game. The above winning combination is employed for each gaming state.

  <Normal game>

  FIG. 8 is a diagram showing the types of winning combinations in normal games, the types of single / simultaneous winning combinations, internal winning probabilities, corresponding winning symbol combinations, and the number of medals to be paid out (dividends). FIG. 9 is a diagram showing internal winning probabilities corresponding to replays 1 to 4 and their combined probabilities for each RT state.

  In the figure, the numerator value of the internal winning probability of the winning combination is a numerical value (lottery data) indicating the number of appearances of each winning combination in a predetermined number of games, and the denominator value is acquired at the time of the internal winning lottery. This is the size of the range of the random number value (65536 in the first embodiment). This internal winning probability exists from setting 1 to setting 6, and an attendant of the game shop can arbitrarily select and set any of them. Moreover, the synthetic | combination probability of FIG. 9 has shown the numerical value which added the internal winning probability corresponding to the replays 1-4.

  In addition to the above-mentioned single bonuses, big bonuses (BB1 to BB4), small roles (watermelon, bell (bell 1, bell 2), cherry), replays 1-4, There is a role.

  The simultaneous winning combination is a winning combination capable of simultaneously winning a plurality of winning combinations. In the first embodiment, the simultaneous winning combination (BB1 & replay 1, BB1 & replay 2, BB2 & replay 2, BB3 & replay). (Game 2, BB4 & Re-Game 2, BB1 & Watermelon, BB2 & Watermelon, BB3 & Watermelon, BB4 & Watermelon, BB1 & Cherry, BB2 & Cherry, BB3 & Cherry, BB4 & Cherry). For example, the simultaneous winning combination (BB1 & replay 1) is a winning combination that allows internal winning of BB1 and replay 1 at the same time, and the winning symbol combination “white 7-white 7-white 7” corresponding to BB1 is selected. When the game is complete, the game shifts to BB game, and when the winning symbol combination “replay-replay-replay” corresponding to replay 1 is prepared, the game is played without inserting medals in the next game. Can do.

  In the normal game, seven types of RT modes of RT0, RT1, and RT4 to RT8 having different internal winning probabilities of the replays 1 to 4 are set. As shown in FIG. 9, in the first embodiment, among the seven types of RT modes, the internal winning probability of the replays 1 to 4 in the RT0 mode is the lowest at 1 / 7.3, the RT5 mode and the RT7 mode. The re-plays 1 to 4 have the highest internal winning probability of 1 / 1.2.

  <When winning inside BB>

  FIG. 10 is a diagram showing the types of winning combinations at the time of BB internal winning, the types of single / simultaneous winning combinations, internal winning probabilities, corresponding winning symbol combinations, and the number of medals to be paid out (dividends).

  BB internal winning means that any of the winning combinations of BB1 to BB4 is won internally (including internal winning by simultaneous winning combination), and BB1 to BB4 is not won (the winning symbol combination corresponding to BB1 to BB4 is A game state that is not available.

  The winning combination at the time of winning this BB includes small roles (watermelon, bell (bell 1, bell 2), cherry) and replays 1-4, which are the above-mentioned single roles. Further, at the time of BB internal winning, two types of RT modes, RT2 and RT3, having different internal winning probabilities for replays 1 to 4 are set. As shown in FIG. 9, in the first embodiment, the internal winning probability of the replays 1 to 4 in the RT3 mode is 1 / 2.1, which is the internal winning probability of the replays 1 to 4 in the RT2 mode. It is set higher than /3.3.

  <BB game>

  FIG. 11A shows the types of winning combinations in the BB game (SuperBB) by BB1 winning, the types of single / simultaneous winning combinations, internal winning probabilities, corresponding winning symbol combinations, and the number of medals to be paid out ( FIG.

  The winning combinations in SuperBB include small roles (watermelon, bell (bell 1, bell 2), cherry), replays 1-4, RB (RB1, RB2), and SRB, which are the above-mentioned sole roles. .

  FIG. 11 (b) shows the types of winning combinations, types of single / simultaneous winning combinations, internal winning probabilities, corresponding winning symbol combinations, and medal payouts in BB games (Normal BB) by winning BB 2-4. It is the figure which showed the number of sheets (payout).

  The winning combination in NormalBB is the same as the winning combination in the BB game by the BB1 winning, but the internal winning probabilities of RB1, RB2, and SRB are different. That is, the internal winning probability of RB1 and RB2 is higher in SuperBB than in NormalBB, while the internal winning probability of SRB is lower in SuperBB than in NormalBB. Yes. In the first embodiment, the BB game ends when the number of medals paid out exceeds 465.

  Further, SuperBB shifts to SuperBB general game RT0 mode, and NormalBB shifts to NormalBB general game RT0.

  <When winning inside RB>

  FIG. 12A is a diagram showing the types of winning combinations at the time of internal winning of RB1, the types of single / simultaneous winning combinations, internal winning probabilities, corresponding winning symbol combinations, and the number of medals to be paid out (dividends). (B) shows the type of winning combination at the time of internal winning of RB2, the type of single winning combination / simultaneous winning combination, the internal winning probability, the corresponding winning symbol combination, and the number of medals to be paid out (dividend). FIG.

  In RB1 (or RB2) internal winning, RB1 (or RB2) wins internally during BB games, and RB1 (or RB2) is not won (RB1 (or RB2) is a combination of winning symbols No) refers to the gaming state.

  The winning combination at the time of winning the inside of the RB includes small roles (watermelon, bell (bell 1, bell 2), cherry) and replays 1 to 4, which are the above-mentioned single roles. In addition, there is no transition to the RT mode when the RB1 internal winning is made, but the BB general game RT6 mode is made when the RB2 internal winning is made.

  <RB game, SRB game>

  FIG. 12 (c) shows an RB game by RB1 winning (RB1 game), a type of winning combination in SRB game, a type of single / simultaneous winning combination, an internal winning probability, a corresponding winning symbol combination, It is the figure which showed the number of payout (payout).

  In the RB1 game and the SRB game, there are small roles (watermelon, bell (bell 1, bell 2), cherry), which are the above-mentioned single roles. Further, in the RB1 game and the SRB game, there is no transition to the RT mode.

  FIG. 12D shows the type of winning combination in the RB game by RB2 winning (RB2 game), the type of single / simultaneous winning combination, the internal winning probability, the corresponding winning symbol combination, and the number of medals to be paid out ( FIG.

  The winning combination of the RB2 game is the same as the winning combination during the RB1 game, but the internal winning probability of the small combination (bell) is different. That is, the internal winning probability of the small role (bell) is higher in the RB1 game than in the RB2 game. Further, in the RB2 game, the RB game RT6 mode is entered.

  In the first embodiment, the RB1 game or the RB2 game ends when 12 games are played or when the winning combination is won 8 times. If the RB1 game is won during SuperBB, the BB general game RT4 mode (in SuperBB) is entered after RB1 ends. FIG. 13A shows the types of winning combinations in the BB general game RT4 mode (in SuperBB), the types of single / simultaneous winning combinations, internal winning probabilities, corresponding winning symbol combinations, and the number of medals to be paid out ( FIG.

  In addition, when the RB1 game is won during the NormalBB, the BB general game RT4 mode (in the NormalBB) is entered after the RB1 is finished. FIG. 13B shows the types of winning combinations in the BB general game RT4 mode (in Normal BB), the types of single / simultaneous winning combinations, internal winning probabilities, corresponding winning symbol combinations, and the number of medals to be paid out ( FIG.

  In addition, when an RB2 game is won during SuperBB, the BB general game RT8 mode (in SuperBB) is entered after RB2 ends. FIG. 13C shows the types of winning combinations in the BB general game RT8 mode (in SuperBB), the types of single / simultaneous winning combinations, internal winning probabilities, corresponding winning symbol combinations, and the number of medals to be paid out ( FIG.

  In addition, when an RB2 game is won during NormalBB, after the end of RB2, the BB general game RT8 mode (in NormalBB) is entered. FIG. 13 (d) shows the types of winning combinations in the BB general game RT8 mode (in NormalBB), the types of single / simultaneous winning combinations, internal winning probabilities, corresponding winning symbol combinations, and the number of medals to be paid out ( FIG.

  Next, the types of gaming state will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. FIG. 14 is a diagram showing the types of RT states, the timing of transition to each RT state, and the corresponding gaming state, and FIG. 15 is a state transition diagram showing how the gaming state transitions. is there.

  In the normal game, there are seven types of RT modes: a normal game RT0 mode, a normal game RT1 mode, and a normal game RT4 to RT8 mode.

  The normal game RT0 mode is a game state that is initially set at the start of the normal game. The normal game RT1 mode is shifted to when the symbol combination “Replay-Replay-Bell” corresponding to the replay 2 is displayed on the active line, and the normal game RT1 mode is continued for seven games after the transition. As shown in FIG. 9, the replay synthesis probability in the normal game RT1 mode is 1 / 2.1, which is higher than the regame synthesis probability 1 / 7.3 in the normal game RT0 mode.

  The normal game RT4 mode is shifted to when the BB game is finished in the BB general game RT4 mode (in SuperBB or NormalBB), and the normal game RT6 mode is changed to the BB general game RT6 mode or the RB game RT6 mode. When the game ends and becomes a normal game. In the normal game RT4 mode and the normal game RT6 mode, as shown in FIG. 9 above, the ratio at which the symbol combination “Replay Bellbell” corresponding to the replay 3 can be displayed on the winning line is This is a special high-probability game with a higher rate than the set rate (in this example, the internal winning probability of replay 3 is changed from 1/65536 to 6855/65536 (or 6555/65536)).

  In addition, the normal game RT5 mode shifts when the symbol combination “Replay-Bell-Bell” corresponding to the replay 3 is displayed on the active line in the normal game RT4 mode or the normal game RT6 mode. The normal game RT5 mode is continued for 100 games. As shown in FIG. 9, the normal game RT5 mode replay synthesis probability is 1 / 1.2, which is higher than the normal game RT4 mode and RT6 mode regame synthesis probability 1 / 7.2. Yes.

  The normal game RT8 mode shifts to the case where the BB game is ended and becomes a normal game in the BB general game RT8 mode (in SuperBB or NormalBB). In the normal game RT8 mode, as shown in FIG. 9, the ratio at which the symbol combination “Replay-Cherry-Replay” corresponding to the replay 4 can be displayed on the winning line is the ratio that has been set so far. (In this example, the internal winning probability of the replay 4 is changed from 1/65536 to 6855/65536).

  Also, the normal game RT7 mode shifts when the symbol combination “Replay-Cherry-Replay” corresponding to the replay 4 is displayed on the active line in this normal game RT8 mode, and for 1000 games after the transition, The normal game RT7 mode is continued. As shown in FIG. 9, the replay synthesis probability in the normal game RT7 mode is 1 / 1.2, which is higher than the regame synthesis probability 1 / 7.2 in the normal game RT8 mode.

  At the time of BB internal winning, there is an RT2 mode for BB internal winning and an RT3 mode for BB internal winning.

  The BB internal winning RT2 mode shifts to the case where a reach eye is displayed on the symbol display window 113 when the bonus internal winning (BB1 internal winning) is displayed, and the BB internal winning RT3 mode is the bonus internal winning (BB2). When BB4 is won internally), the process shifts to the case where a normal losing eye is displayed on the symbol display window 113. The “reach eyes” refers to a display result displayed only when the special combination is won internally, and in the first embodiment, is a display result displayed only when BB1 is won internally. The “ordinary losing eye” is a display result in which a symbol combination that does not correspond to any winning combination is displayed.

  As described above, the display result displayed on the symbol display window 113 by the stopped reels 110 to 112 is the same display result as the display result when it is not determined that the special combination (BB1) has been internally won (usually disappointing eyes). ) And display results (reach eyes) that can be displayed only when it is determined that the special role has been won internally. If a special role high-probability game with a different advantage for the player is set, the player The player can easily grasp the advantage of the special role high-probability game from the display result of the display window.

  For BB games, Normal BB general game RT0 mode, SuperBB general game RT0 mode, BB general game RT4 mode (in SuperBB or NormalBB), BB general game RT6 mode, BB general game RT8 mode (in SuperBB or NormalBB), RB There is a gaming RT6 mode.

  In the normal BB general game RT0 mode, the symbol combination “bonus-bonus-bonus” corresponding to BB2, the symbol combination “white 7-white 7-bonus” corresponding to BB3, or the symbol combination “bonus-bonus-white” corresponding to BB4. When “7” is displayed on the active line (when any of BB2 to BB4 is won), the process proceeds. The SuperBB general game RT0 mode shifts to the case where the symbol combination “white 7-white 7-white 7” corresponding to BB1 is displayed on the active line (when winning BB1).

  As shown in FIGS. 11A and 11B, the internal winning probability of RB1 in this SuperBB general game RT0 mode is 1310/65536 (= about 1/50), and the internal winning probability of RB2 is 655/65536 ( = 1/100), which is higher than the internal winning probability 819/65536 (= 1/80) of RB1 in NormalBB general game RT0 mode and 164/65536 (= 1/400) of RB2. ing. On the other hand, the internal winning probability of SRB in SuperBB general game RT0 mode is 6553/65536 (= about 1/10), and the internal winning probability of SRB in NormalBB general game RT0 mode is 18724/65536 (= about 1 / 3.5). Is set lower. That is, the SuperBB general game RT0 mode has a higher probability of winning the RB1 game and the RB2 game than the NormalBB general game RT0 mode, and the NormalBB general game RT0 mode has a probability of winning the SRB game than the SuperBB general game RT0 mode. Is expensive.

  In the normal BB general game RT0 mode or SuperBB general game RT0 mode, when RB1 is internally won and the symbol combination “Blue 7-Blue 7-Watermelon” corresponding to RB1 is aligned on the active line 114 (when winning RB1) ) Shifts to the RB1 game (in this case, since there is no transition to the RT mode, the RT0 mode remains). When this RB1 game ends, the BB general game RT4 mode (in SuperBB or NormalBB) is entered.

  In addition, when RB2 is internally won in the NormalBB general game RT0 mode or the SuperBB general game RT0 mode, the game moves to the BB general game RT6 mode, and in this BB general game RT6 mode, the symbol combination corresponding to RB2 “blue 7 When “-watermelon-watermelon” is aligned on the active line (when winning RB2), the RB2 game RT6 mode is entered. When this RB2 game ends, the BB general game RT8 mode (in SuperBB or NormalBB) is entered for 100 games. Note that, when the BB general game RT8 mode is completed, the mode shifts to the SuperBB general game RT0 mode.

  Furthermore, when the SRB is won internally in the NormalBB general game RT0 mode or the SuperBB general game RT0 mode, and the symbol combination “Replay-Bell-Replay” corresponding to the SRB is aligned on the active line 114 (when winning the SRB) ) Shifts to the SRB game (in this case, since there is no transition to the RT mode, the RT0 mode remains).

  Also, if more than 465 medals are paid out during the BB game, the game shifts to a normal game.

  <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 winning line is determined. In the first embodiment, the effective lines are the above three winning lines.

  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 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, an internal winning command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 400. The sub-control unit 400 grasps the result of the internal lottery by receiving this internal winning 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, a production input button reception process (details will be described later) is performed.

  In step S108, the reels 110 to 112 corresponding to the pressed stop buttons 137 to 139 are stopped by the reel 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 S108, 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 S109, 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 has been won when the winning symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination won or the flag carryover winning combination is displayed (displayed) on the active line. For example, if “replay-replay-replay” is arranged on the active line, it is determined that the replay is won. In step S109, 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 S110, 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 S111, game state control processing is performed. Although details will be described later, in this game state control process, control for shifting the game state is performed. For example, in the case of BB winning or SRB winning, preparation is made so that BB gaming or SRB gaming can be started from the next time. In the final game, prepare to start the normal game next time.

  In step S112, RT game update processing (details will be described later) is performed. Although details will be described later, here, processing relating to transition to the RT mode is performed.

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

  <Direction input process for production>

  Next, with reference to FIG. 17, description will be given of the effect launch button receiving process (step S107) in the main process. In addition, the figure is a flowchart which shows the flow of the input button reception process for productions.

  In step S201, it is determined whether or not the third stop reel is waiting to be stopped, that is, whether or not two reels have already stopped and only the remaining one reel is rotating. If the stop of the third stop reel is awaiting reception, the process ends without performing any processing. If not, the process proceeds to step S202.

  In step S202, it is determined whether or not the medal insertion button 130 has been pressed. If the pressing of the medal insertion button 130 is accepted, the process proceeds to step S203, and if not, the process ends without performing any processing.

  In step S203, an effect input button acceptance command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 400, and the process ends.

  <Game state update processing>

  Next, the game state update process (step S111) in the main control unit main process will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is a flowchart showing the flow of the game state update process.

  In this game state update process, control is performed for transitioning between the game states of the normal game, the BB game, the RB1 game, the RB2 game, and the SRB game in accordance with the state transition diagram shown in FIG.

  First, in step S301, it is determined whether or not the conditional device lottery code is an internal winning generation code. If the conditional device lottery code is an internal winning generation code, the process proceeds to step S302; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S303.

  In step S302, the BB internal winning state is set.

  In step S303, internal winning information is set based on the conditional device lottery code.

  In step S304, the remaining number of games in the RB game (RB1 game or RB2 game in this embodiment) is acquired.

  In step S305, it is determined whether or not the remaining number of RB games is 0 (in this embodiment, whether or not 12 games, which is a predetermined number of times, have been completed). If the number of remaining RB games is other than 0, the process proceeds to step S306. If the number of remaining RB games is 0, the process proceeds to step S313.

  In step S306, the remaining number of RB games is decremented by one.

  In step S307, it is determined whether or not the remaining number of games in the RB1 game (or RB2 game) is 0 (in this embodiment, whether or not 12 games have been played in the RB1 game or the RB2 game). If the remaining number of games in the RB1 game (or RB2 game) is other than 0, the process proceeds to step S308. If the remaining number of games in the RB1 game (or RB2 game) is 0, the process proceeds to step S311.

  In step S308, it is determined whether there is a winning symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination, that is, whether any winning combination has been won. If there is a winning symbol combination, the process proceeds to step S309, and if not, the process proceeds to step S313.

  In step S309, the remaining number of winnings in the RB1 game (or RB2 game) is decremented by one.

  In step S310, it is determined whether or not the remaining number of winnings in the RB1 game (or RB2 game) is 0 (in this embodiment, whether or not the winning combination in the RB1 game or RB2 game has been won eight times). If the remaining number of winnings in the RB1 game (or RB2 game) is 0, the process proceeds to step S311; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S313.

  In step S311, in order to end the RB game, information on the RB game such as the start of the RB game, the remaining number of RB games, and the remaining number of RB winnings is cleared (initialized).

  In step S312, a winning determination result is acquired.

  In step S313, it is determined whether there is a winning symbol combination. If there is a winning symbol combination, the process proceeds to step S314; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S327.

  In step S315, it is determined whether or not a bonus (BB, RB1, RB2, SRB) has been won. If the bonus is won, the process proceeds to step S323; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S315.

  In step S315, it is determined whether or not an RB game is being played. And if it is in RB game, it will progress to step S316, and if that is not right, it will progress to step S327.

  In step S316, bonus end determination data is acquired.

  In step S317, it is determined whether or not the number of acquired medals in the bonus exceeds the bonus end determination data (in this embodiment, whether or not the number of acquired medals in the bonus exceeds 465). If the acquired medal number in the bonus does not exceed the bonus end determination data, the process proceeds to step S327, and if the acquired medal number in the bonus exceeds the bonus end determination data, the process proceeds to step S318.

  In step S318, it is determined whether or not an RB2 game is in progress. And if it is in RB2 game, it will progress to step S319, and if that is not right, it will progress to step S320.

  In step S319, RB2 in-game end information is set to end the RB2 game.

  In step S320, BB end information is set to end the BB game.

  In step S321, BB end setting is performed.

  In step S322, a normal game state is set.

  In step S323, the BB internal winning state setting is cleared.

  In step S324, bonus winning information is set.

  In step S325, the BB game state is set.

  In step S326, settings for starting a bonus, such as setting the number of remaining RB games, are performed.

  In step S327, the gaming state command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 400, and the process ends. The sub-control unit 400 grasps the current gaming state by receiving this gaming state command.

  <RT game update processing>

  Next, the RT game update process (step S112) in the main control unit main process will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is a flowchart showing the flow of RT game update processing.

  In this RT game update process, control for shifting the RT mode in each gaming state is performed according to the state transition diagram shown in FIG.

  First, in step S401, the current gaming state is confirmed.

  In step S402, it is determined whether or not the current gaming state is a normal game. In the case of a normal game, the process proceeds to step S403. Otherwise, the process proceeds to step S404.

  In step S403, a normal game RT mode update process is performed (details will be described later).

  In step S404, it is determined whether or not the current gaming state is BB internal winning. If the BB internal winning is selected, the process proceeds to step S405. If not, the process proceeds to step S406.

  In step S405, BB internal winning RT mode update processing is performed (details will be described later).

  In step S406, BB game RT mode update processing is performed (details will be described later).

  <Normal game RT mode update process>

  Next, the normal game RT mode update process (step S403) in the RT game update process will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is a flowchart showing the flow of normal game RT mode update processing.

  In step S501, it is determined whether or not the BB has ended. If the BB is finished, the process proceeds to step S507, and if not, the process proceeds to step S502.

  In step 502, internal winning information is confirmed.

  In step S503, it is determined whether the RT mode change (transition) condition shown in FIG. 14 is satisfied. If the RT mode change condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S504. Otherwise, the process proceeds to step S505.

  In step S504, the RT mode is updated. For example, when the symbol combination “Replay-Bell-Bell” corresponding to the replay 3 is displayed on the active line during the normal game, the RT mode is updated to the normal game RT5 mode.

  In step S505, other RT mode processing is performed.

  In step S506, the internal winning information is cleared.

  In step S507, the RT mode after the end of BB is confirmed.

  In step S508, an RT mode corresponding to the RT mode after the end of BB is set. For example, when the RT mode at the end of the BB is the BB general game RT4 mode, the normal game RT4 mode is set.

  <BB internal winning RT mode update process>

  Next, with reference to FIG. 21, the BB internal winning RT mode update process (step S405) in the RT game update process will be described. This figure is a flowchart showing the flow of the BB internal winning RT mode update process.

  In step S601, it is determined whether or not BB1 is internally won. If BB1 is won internally, the process proceeds to step S602; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S604.

  In step S602, it is determined whether or not a reach is displayed on the symbol display window 113. If a reach eye is displayed on the symbol display window 113, the process proceeds to step S603, and if not (normally, a loss eye is displayed), the process proceeds to step S604.

  In step S603, the RT mode is set to the BB internal winning RT3 mode.

  In step S604, the RT mode is set to the BB internal winning RT2 mode.

  <BB game RT mode update process>

  Next, the BB game RT mode update process (step S406) in the RT game update process will be described with reference to FIG. In addition, the figure is a flowchart which shows the flow of BB game RT mode update process.

  In step S701, internal winning information is confirmed.

  In step S702, it is confirmed whether or not a prize has been won for BB1 to BB4. And when winning BB1-4, it progresses to step S715, and when that is not right, it progresses to step S703.

  In step S703, it is determined whether or not RB1 is won internally. If RB1 is won internally, the process proceeds to step S704. If not, the process proceeds to step S707.

  In step S704, it is determined whether or not RB1 has been won. If the RB1 is won, the process proceeds to step S705, and if not, the process ends.

  In step S705, the internal winning information of RB1 is cleared.

  In step S706, at the end of the RB1 game, the RT mode is set to the BB general game RT4 mode.

  In step 707, it is determined whether or not RB2 is won internally. If RB2 is won internally, the process proceeds to step S708; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S713.

  In step S708, it is determined whether the RT6 mode has been set as the RT mode. If the RT6 mode is set as the RT mode, the process proceeds to step S710, and if not, the process proceeds to step S709.

  In step S709, the RT mode is set to the BB general game RT6 mode.

  In step S710, it is determined whether or not RB2 has been won. If the player has won RB2, the process proceeds to step S711, and if not, the process ends.

  In step S711, the internal winning information of RB2 is cleared.

  In step S712, the RT mode is set to the RB game RT6 mode.

  In step S713, it is determined whether or not the RB2 game has ended. If RB2 has been completed, the process proceeds to step S714. If not, the process ends.

  In step S714, the RT mode is set to the BB general game RT8 mode.

  In step S715, it is determined whether or not BB1 has been won. If BB1 has been won, the process proceeds to step S716, and if not, the process proceeds to step S717.

  In step S716, the RT mode is set to SuperBB general game RT0 mode.

  In step S717, the RT mode is set to the NormalBB general game RT0 mode.

  Next, the gaming state update process and the RT game update process of the slot machine 100 will be specifically described.

  FIG. 23A is a diagram showing a change in the gaming state when RB1 and RB2 are not internally won during BB game, and FIG. 23B is a case where RB2 is internally won during BB game (or It is the figure which showed the change of the game state in (when winning RB2).

  In FIG. 5A, first, one of BB1 to BB4 is won during the normal game RT7 mode, and the mode shifts to the NormalBB general game RT0 mode or the SuperBB general game RT0 mode. Next, during the BB game, the winning symbol combination “Replay-Belle Replay” corresponding to the SRB is aligned on the upper horizontal effective line L2 to win the SRB, and the BB game is ended without winning the RB1 and RB2 internally. ing. Therefore, after the end of the BB, the normal game RT0 mode is entered. Then, during the normal game RT0 mode, the winning symbol combination “Replay Replay Bell” corresponding to the replay 2 is aligned on the upper horizontal effective line L2 and wins the replay 2 and remains in the normal game RT1 mode for 7 games. It has migrated.

  On the other hand, in FIG. 5B, during BB game, RB2 is internally won and the game shifts to the BB general game RT6 mode, or further wins RB2 and shifts to the RB game RT6 mode. Next, the BB game is terminated in the BB general game RT6 mode or the RB game RT6 mode, and the normal game RT6 mode is entered. Then, during the normal game RT6 mode, the winning symbol combination “Replay Bell-Lobel” corresponding to the replay 3 is aligned on the upper horizontal effective line L2 and wins the replay 3 to enter the normal game RT5 mode for 100 games. It has migrated.

  FIG. 24 (a) is a diagram showing changes in the gaming state when winning RB1 during BB gaming.

  In the same figure (a), during the BB game, RB1 is won internally, and the winning symbol combination “Blue 7-Blue 7-Watermelon” corresponding to RB1 is aligned on the middle horizontal effective line L3 and won in RB1. When the RB1 game is over, the BB general game RT4 mode is entered. Next, the BB game is ended in the state of the BB general game RT4 mode, and the normal game RT4 mode is entered. Then, during the normal game RT4 mode, the winning symbol combination “Replay Bell-Lobel” corresponding to the replay 3 is aligned on the upper horizontal effective line L2 and wins the replay 3 to enter the normal game RT5 mode for 100 games. It has migrated. In FIG. 23 (b), the RT mode is shifted in response to the internal winning of RB2, but the RT mode may be shifted in response to the end of the RB game as described above. Further, the RT mode may be shifted in response to winning of RB1 and RB2.

  FIG. 24 (b) is a diagram showing changes in the gaming state when winning RB2 during BB gaming.

  In FIG. 5B, during the BB game, RB2 is won internally, and the winning symbol combination “Blue 7-Watermelon-Watermelon” corresponding to RB2 is aligned on the upper horizontal effective line L2 and won to RB2. When the game ends, the BB general game RT8 mode is entered. Next, the BB game is terminated in the BB general game RT8 mode, and the normal game RT8 mode is entered. Then, during the normal game RT8 mode, the winning symbol combination “Replay Cherry Replay” corresponding to the replay 4 is aligned on the upper horizontal effective line L2 to win the replay 4, and the normal game RT7 mode is used for 1000 games. Has moved to.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 24 (a), when RB1 is internally won during BB game, it is possible to shift to the normal game RT5 mode with a replay synthesis probability of 1 / 1.2 for 100 games. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 24 (b), when RB2 is internally won during BB game, the game transitions to the normal game RT7 mode with a replay synthesis probability of 1 / 1.2 for 1000 games. In this example, the latter can play as many games as 900 games with a re-game synthesis probability of 1 / 1.2. In this way, the advantage to the player may be different between the case where RB1 is internally won during the BB game and the case where RB2 is internally won during the BB game.

  FIG. 25 is a diagram showing a change in the gaming state when winning RB1 after winning RB1 during the BB game.

  In the figure, during the BB game, RB1 is internally won, and the winning symbol combination “Blue 7-Blue 7-Watermelon” corresponding to RB1 is aligned on the middle horizontal effective line L3 to win RB1, and RB1 game is won. When finished, the BB general game RT4 mode is entered. In this example, during BB game, RB2 is further won internally, and the winning symbol combination “Blue 7-Watermelon-Watermelon” corresponding to RB2 is aligned on the upper horizontal effective line L2 and won in RB2, and RB2 game is won. At the time of completion, the BB general game RT8 mode is entered. Next, the BB game is terminated in the BB general game RT8 mode, and the normal game RT8 mode is entered. Then, during the normal game RT8 mode, the winning symbol combination “Replay Cherry Replay” corresponding to the replay 4 is aligned on the upper horizontal effective line L2 to win the replay 4, and the normal game RT7 mode is used for 1000 games. Has moved to. In this way, the RT mode may be updated several times during the BB game, and even if the player wins RB1 which is less advantageous than the RB2, the player can aim for the RB2 again during the BB game. It is possible to shift to an advantageous RT mode.

  <Sub control section main processing>

  Next, the sub-control unit main process will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is a flowchart showing the flow of the sub-control unit main process.

  In step S801, it is determined whether a command has been received from the main control unit 300 or not. If a command is received, the process proceeds to step S802. Otherwise, the command is waited for.

  In step S802, the received command is analyzed.

  In step S803, effect processing is performed (details will be described later).

  <Sub control section main processing>

  Next, the rendering process (step S803) in the sub-control unit main process will be described with reference to FIG. In addition, the figure is a flowchart which shows the flow of an effect process.

  In step S901, it is determined whether or not the received command is a “BB winning command”. If the command is a “BB winning command”, the process proceeds to step S902. If not, the process proceeds to step S903.

  In step S902, an effect process during BB is performed (details will be described later).

  In step S903, it is determined whether or not the received command is an “RB winning command”. If the command is an “RB winning command”, the process proceeds to step S904. If not, the process proceeds to step S905.

  In step S904, a blinking process of the line display LED is performed.

  In step S905, it is determined whether or not the received command is a “gaming state command”. If the command is a “gaming state command”, the process proceeds to step S906, and if not, the process proceeds to step S908.

  In step S906, it is determined whether or not the current RT mode is other than the normal game RT0 mode. If it is other than the normal game RT0 mode, the process proceeds to step S907, and if not, the process proceeds to step S908.

  In step S907, an expectation effect (details will be described later) that stimulates the player's expectation is performed.

  In step S908, other effect processing is performed.

  Next, the expectation effect in the sub-control unit 400 will be specifically described.

  FIG. 28A is a diagram showing the production timing of the expectation effect, and FIG. 28B is a diagram showing an example of the expectation effect.

  FIG. 4A shows the change in the gaming state when the RB1 is won during the BB game (see FIG. 24A for details). In this example, the BB game is finished and the normal game is finished. From the transition to the RT4 mode to the transition to the normal game RT5 mode, an expectation effect as shown in FIG.

  In this way, the period between the time when the special role high probability game (in this example, the normal game RT4 mode) is set and the time when the replay high probability game (in this example, the normal game RT5 mode) is started, If there is further provided an effect control means (in this example, a liquid crystal display device) that produces an expectation effect that produces the possibility of starting the game in a predetermined manner, the replay high probability game may be started for the player It is possible to maintain the player's willingness to play during the period from when the special role high probability game is set to when the replay high probability game is started.

  Such an expectation effect may be performed using a speaker or a decorative lamp. Moreover, the period of expectation effect is not specifically limited, For example, you may perform expectation effect only for the predetermined number of games.

  <Production processing during BB>

  Next, with reference to FIG. 29, the effect process during BB (step 902) in the effect process will be described. In addition, the figure is a flowchart which shows the flow of the production process during BB.

  In step S1001, the BB medium production mode is set. Here, the command transmitted from the main control unit 300 is used to grasp that the player has operated the medal insertion button 130 and the like, and based on the player's operation, the BB medium effect mode can be used to select one BB. Set the medium production mode.

  In step S1002, it is determined whether an internal winning command of RB1 / RB2 has been received. If the internal winning command RB1 / RB2 is received, the process proceeds to step S1003, and if not, the process proceeds to step S1008.

  In step S1003, it is determined whether or not the effect mode is “princess effect mode”. If the effect mode is the princess effect mode, the process proceeds to step S1004. Otherwise, the process proceeds to step S1005.

  In step S1004, the princess effect mode (BET chance effect) is executed.

  FIG.30 (c) is the figure which showed the effect aspect of the princess effect mode.

  In the princess production mode, when the start lever 135 is operated, the winning combination or lose is determined by the internal lottery, and the internal winning command is transmitted from the main control unit 300 to the sub control unit 400, for example, “You can give a cheer with BET A message such as “Yo” is displayed on the liquid crystal display device, and a voice such as “Press BET” is output from the speaker. Then, when the player operates the medal insertion button 130 in response to the message or voice, the main control unit 300 transmits an “effect insertion button reception command” to the sub-control unit 400, and the sub-control unit 400 The production mode is changed based on the command.

  In this way, if further providing notification means (in this example, a liquid crystal display device or a speaker) that indicates the establishment of a predetermined setting condition (in this example, the possibility of internal winning of RB1 or RB2) is provided, It is possible to give a sense of expectation to the special role high probability game and the replay high probability game, and to increase the player's willingness to play.

  In addition, an operation means (in this example, a medal insertion button) that can be operated by the player is further provided, and the notification means is operated when the operation mode by the operation means satisfies a predetermined condition (in this example, the medal insertion button is pressed). If the player determines that the first bonus combination (RB1) or the second bonus combination (RB2) has been determined to be internally won by the lottery means, If it is satisfied, it is possible to know that the first bonus combination or the second bonus combination has been won internally.

  In step S1005, it is determined whether or not the effect mode is the “donor effect mode”. Then, if the effect mode is the hall effect mode, the process proceeds to step S1006, and if not, the process proceeds to step S1007.

  In step S1006, the hall effect mode (chance notice effect) is executed.

  FIG. 30 (a) is a diagram showing an effect mode in the hall effect mode.

  In the hall effect mode, when the start lever 135 is operated, a winning combination or a loss is determined by internal lottery, and an internal winning command is transmitted from the main control unit 300 to the sub control unit 400, the sub control unit 400 sends a notification. An announcement lottery will be held. When winning the announcement lottery, for example, a message such as “Let's aim for 7!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display device, or a sound such as “It is a chance” is output from the speaker, and RB1 or RB2 is internally won. A chance notice effect for informing the player is executed. On the other hand, when the notice lottery is not won (in the case of non-winning), the number of medals acquired is displayed on the liquid crystal display device or music is output from the speaker, but the chance notice effect is not executed.

  In this way, the possibility that it has been determined that the first bonus combination (RB1) or the second bonus combination (RB2) has been internally won by the lottery means is indicated to the player before the rotation of the reels 110 to 112 stops. If the notification means for notifying is further provided, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation for the special role high-probability game and the replay high-probability game, and to increase the player's willingness to play.

  In step S1007, a spear effect mode (notification effect) is executed.

  FIG.30 (b) is the figure which showed the production | presentation aspect of the cocoon production mode.

  In the 爺 production mode, when the start lever 135 is operated to internally win RB1 or RB2 by internal lottery and an internal winning command is transmitted from the main control unit 300 to the sub-control unit 400, for example, “7 Confirm! Is displayed on the liquid crystal display device, or a sound effect is output from the speaker, and a notification effect for notifying the player that RB1 or RB2 has been internally won is executed. On the other hand, when an internal winning command is transmitted from the main control unit 300 to the sub-control unit 400 by winning the winning combination or loss other than RB1 and RB2 by internal lottery, the number of medals acquired is displayed on the liquid crystal display device. Or music is output from the speaker, and the announcement effect is not executed.

  In this way, the notification means determines that the lottery means has determined that the first bonus combination (RB1) or the second bonus combination (RB2) has been internally won before the rotation of the reels 110 to 113 stops. By informing the player, the player can know that the first bonus combination or the second bonus combination has been won internally.

  In step S1008, effect processing during BB corresponding to each effect mode is performed.

  Next, an effect mode at the time of winning the RB1 and an effect mode at the time of winning the RB2 will be described.

  FIG. 31A is a diagram showing a display mode at the time of RB1 winning, and FIG. 31B is a diagram showing an effect mode at the time of RB2 winning.

  In FIG. 5A, the stop buttons 137 to 139 are operated to stop all the reels 110 to 112, and the winning symbol combination “blue 7-blue 7-watermelon” corresponding to RB1 is displayed on the middle horizontal effective line L3. “Blue 7-Blue 7-Blue 7” are aligned in the line-down production line L5. With the RB1 winning, a “winning determination command” for notifying that the RB1 has been won is transmitted from the main control unit 300 to the sub-control unit 400, and the sub-control unit 400 responds to the RB1 winning using a liquid crystal display device or a speaker. Perform the production.

  The sub-control unit 400 blinks the line display LEDs in the symbol display area (in this example, 1, 2, 5, 9) corresponding to the blue 7 symbol (step S904). As a result, the pattern “blue 7-blue 7-blue 7” aligned on the right-down effect line L5 can be made more conspicuous than the pattern “blue 7-blue 7-watermelon” aligned on the middle horizontal effective line L3. it can. In this way, if you perform an effect that makes the symbols stopped on the production line stand out more than the symbols stopped on the active line, the player will pay attention to the symbols aligned on the production line rather than the active line, The player can intuitively recognize that the chance time has been fixed by “single blue 7 assortment”, and can improve the interest of the player.

  On the other hand, in FIG. 5B, the stop buttons 137 to 139 are operated to stop all the reels 110 to 112, and the winning symbol combination “blue 7-watermelon-watermelon” corresponding to RB2 is displayed on the upper horizontal effective line L2. Are aligned, “blue 7-blue 7-blue 7” is aligned in the middle horizontal effective line L3, and “blue 7-blue 7-blue 7” is aligned in the lower right effect line L5. With the RB2 winning, a “winning determination command” for notifying that the RB2 has been won is transmitted from the main control unit 300 to the sub-control unit 400, and the sub-control unit 400 responds to the RB2 winning using a liquid crystal display device or a speaker. Perform the production.

  In addition, the sub-control unit 400 blinks the line display LEDs in the symbol display area (1, 2, 5, 8, 9 in this example) corresponding to the blue 7 symbol. As a result, the “blue 7-blue 7-blue 7” pattern aligned with the middle horizontal effective line L3 and the right-down effect line L5 rather than the “blue 7-watermelon-watermelon” pattern aligned with the upper horizontal effective line L2. Can stand out. Therefore, the player can intuitively recognize that the replay time is determined by “double blue 7 assortment”, and can improve the interest of the player.

  As described above, the slot machine 100 according to the first embodiment determines whether or not the internal winning of the plural types of reels 110 to 112 and the plural types of roles, which are provided with a plurality of types of symbols, is determined by lottery. Lottery means (internal drawing process in the first embodiment), and reel stop control means (stop control process in the first embodiment) that performs stop control related to the rotation stop of the reels 110 to 112 based on the lottery result of the lottery means. The symbol combination displayed on the winning line of the display window (the symbol display window 113 in the first embodiment) by the reels 110 to 112 stopped by the reel stop control means corresponds to the winning combination internally by the lottery means. And determining means for determining whether or not the symbol combination is predetermined (a winning determination process in the first embodiment), and a predetermined game is set from a plurality of types of games. A technique setting means (in the first embodiment game state update processing and RT game updating process), a game machine equipped with. The multiple types of combinations include at least a re-game combination (re-game 1 in the first embodiment) in which a game can be performed without inserting a game medium, and a predetermined condition is satisfied. A special role that starts a re-probability high-probability game in which the rate at which the symbol combination corresponding to the game character can be displayed on the winning line is higher than the rate set so far (in the first embodiment, the re-game) 2 to 4), and the plurality of types of games include at least a plurality of types of setting conditions (in the first embodiment, RB1 and RB2 internal winnings, RB1 and RB2 wins, RB1 games and RB2 games) Special combinations, the proportion of symbols that can be displayed on the winning line when the specified conditions are met is higher than the proportion set so far. High probability games are included, In a specific game (BB game in the first embodiment) in which a plurality of types of setting conditions can be established, the technique setting means is advantageous to the player according to the established setting conditions when a predetermined setting condition is established. A special role high probability game with a different degree is set, and this special role high probability game is continued in a game until it is determined that a specific game has ended and a game executed after the end of a specific game. And set.

  According to the gaming machine according to the first embodiment, it is possible to control the re-game lottery rate improvement state, but at the same time, it is possible to give variations to the progress of the game, and there is no possibility that the game becomes monotonous. Thus, the player's willingness to play can be increased as compared with the conventional game table.

  In addition, for a plurality of types of roles, a special role (BB 1 in this embodiment 1) that starts a special game (BB game in this embodiment 1) that has a higher expectation of acquisition of game media than a normal game and that is advantageous to the player. BB4) is further included, and the specific game is a special game, so that the player can play a special high probability game only during the special game. Therefore, a special value can be given to the special role high-probability game, and the player's willingness to play can be stimulated and enhanced. In addition, even during a special game or a game after the special game ends, the player is not bored, and the game can be performed while keeping the player feeling excited.

  In addition, for a plurality of types of combinations, a privilege combination (RB1 in this embodiment 1) that starts a privilege game (RB game, SRB game in this embodiment 1) that gives a privilege advantageous to the player only for a predetermined game period. , RB2, SRB) are included, and the predetermined setting condition is established when it is determined that the bonus combination is won internally by the lottery means, so that if the player wins the bonus combination without winning the bonus combination, A special role high probability game can be performed and the player's willingness to play is not hindered. Whether or not the replay high probability game is set depends on the lottery result of whether or not the bonus combination is won. Therefore, the player will proceed with the game while expecting the internal winning of the bonus role, and the player after the bonus will be uniquely determined by winning the bonus, compared to the conventional game stand Can maintain a sense of expectation.

  Note that if the predetermined setting condition is established when it is determined by the determining means that the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus combination is displayed on the winning line, the player only wins the bonus combination. A special role high probability game can be performed. Therefore, a special value can be given to the special role high-probability game, and the player's willingness to play can be stimulated and enhanced. In addition, in order to obtain the profit of replay high probability game, it is necessary to align the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus combination on the winning line, so it is interesting to align the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus role on the winning line. It can be given to the player, and the player's interest can be further enhanced, and the player will proceed with the game while expecting a prize for the bonus, and after the bonus ends, The player's expectation can be maintained as compared with the conventional game table in which the game is uniquely determined.

  Further, the predetermined condition is that, in a game executed after the specific game is finished by the game setting means (normal game in the first embodiment), it is determined that the special combination is internally won by the lottery means, or Since it is established when it is determined by the judging means that the symbol combination corresponding to the special combination is displayed on the winning line, the player can win the special combination internally even if the specific game ends, If a prize is won, it is possible to obtain a continuous profit of a replaying role high probability game. Therefore, the player's willingness to play can be maintained even after the specific game ends.

  In addition, since the special role high probability game is continuously set until the game high probability game is started, the player's expectation for the regame role high probability game is maintained until the start time of the regame role high probability game. And can further enhance the interest of the player.

  Further, since the plurality of types of setting conditions have different probabilities that the setting conditions are satisfied (for example, in the first embodiment, the internal winning probability of RB1 and the internal winning probability of RB2 in the BB game are different). Therefore, the game does not become monotonous and the gameability can be improved. In particular, if the probability that the condition for setting the first privilege game is established is set higher than the probability that the condition for setting the second privilege game is established, the special feature high probability that is more advantageous for the player Rare value can be given to the 2nd privilege combination in which a game is set, and the interest of a player can be heightened.

  In addition, the symbol display window 113 has three symbol regions in which at least n (n = 3 in the first embodiment) symbols are displayed in the vertical direction in a symbol area for displaying a single symbol when the reels 110 to 112 are stopped. Are arranged in a horizontal direction so that (3 × 3) symbols are displayed in the display area (symbol display areas 1 to 9), and the winning line is a straight line in the horizontal direction of the display area. The reel stop control means has won the first bonus combination (RB1) by the lottery means by a horizontal line for determining a combination of symbols arranged in the line and a diagonal line lined up on the diagonal line of the display area. If it is determined that the symbol combination corresponding to the first bonus combination (blue 7 in the present embodiment 1) is a single winning line, either a horizontal line or a diagonal line. Align and stop And when it is determined by the lottery means that the second bonus combination has been won internally, the symbols are the same as a part of the symbols constituting the symbol combination corresponding to the first bonus combination. A part of the symbols constituting the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus combination of 2 (blue 7 in this embodiment 1) is placed on a plurality of winning lines (two in this embodiment) on the horizontal line and / or diagonal line. Since it is possible to stop them together, the player intuitively determines whether the first bonus combination or the second bonus combination has been won internally by the display mode of the symbols on the winning line The advantage of the special role high probability game can be easily grasped.

  In particular, when the reel stop control means determines that the first bonus combination (RB1) has been won internally by the lottery means, the symbol combination corresponding to the first bonus combination is selected from the effective lines L1 to L1 of the winning lines. A part of the index symbols (blue 7 in the first embodiment) that can be displayed on L3 and that constitute the symbol combination corresponding to the first privilege combination is different from the effective lines L1 to L3. If it is determined that the second bonus combination (RB2) has been won internally by the lottery means, the second privilege can be stopped on a single production line consisting of a line or a diagonal line. The symbol combination corresponding to the combination can be displayed on the effective lines L1 to L3 of the winning lines, and the symbols are the same as some symbols constituting the symbol combination corresponding to the first privilege combination. Second privilege role Since some of the index symbols constituting the corresponding symbol combination (blue 7 in the present embodiment 1) can be aligned and stopped on a plurality of effect lines consisting of horizontal lines and / or diagonal lines, The player can intuitively determine whether the first bonus combination or the second bonus combination has been won internally by the display mode of the symbols on the effective line and the production line. The advantage of the probability game can be easily grasped.

  In addition, the special combination (replays 2 to 4 in the first embodiment) is a game medium in which a symbol combination different from the symbol combination corresponding to the replaying combination (replay 1 in the first embodiment) is associated. Since it is the second re-gamer who can play a game without throwing it in, the player can also obtain a profit from the special role in addition to the profit from the re-gamer.

  The reels 110 to 112 are further provided with stop operation means (stop buttons 137 to 139 in the first embodiment) for individually stopping the rotation of the reels 110 to 112, and the reel stop control. The means performs pull-in control for shifting the stop position of the reel within a predetermined number of frames after the player operates the stop operation means, and the symbols applied to the reel constitute a symbol combination corresponding to the special combination If the symbols are arranged so that they are aligned on the winning line by the pull-in control regardless of the timing of the player's stop operation means, the player will aim for the symbol combination corresponding to the special role. Even if it is not, it can be arranged on the winning line, and even a beginner can easily arrange special roles.

  The gaming machine according to the present invention is not limited to the configuration of the slot machine according to the first embodiment.

  Accordingly, in the first embodiment, the winning line is composed of three effective lines L1 to L3 and two effect lines L4 and L5. For example, SuperBB (BB1) and NormalBB (BB2 to BB4) You may change the number of effective lines and production lines, and the position of the winning line to which they are assigned.

  FIG. 32A is a diagram showing an example of a winning line set at the time of internal winning of BB1, and FIG. 32B is a diagram showing an example of a winning line set at the time of internal winning of BB2 to BB4. is there.

  At the time of internal winning of BB1, the effective line is composed of a right-up effective line L1 and an upper horizontal effective line L2, and the production lines are a middle horizontal production line L3, a lower horizontal production line L4, and a right-down production. It is composed of three lines L5. On the other hand, at the time of internal winning of BB2 to BB4, the effective line is composed of two effective lines L1 and a middle horizontal effective line L3, and the effect lines are the upper horizontal effect line L2, the lower horizontal effect line L4, and , The right-down effect line L5.

  With such a configuration, when the internal winning of BB1 is performed, since the effective line is set in the upper horizontal effective line L2, the “blue 7-blue 7-blue” is displayed in the middle horizontal effect line L3 and the lower right effect line L5. 7 ”is easy to align, and it becomes easier to align“ double blue 7 align ”than when BB2 to BB4 are won internally. On the other hand, at the time of internal winning of BB2 to BB4, since the effective line is set to the middle horizontal effective line L3, “blue 7-blue 7-blue 7” can be easily aligned on the lower right effect line L5, and internal winning of BB1 It becomes easier to arrange “single blue 7 assortment” than time.

  Further, the RT mode transition trigger is not limited to the example shown in the first embodiment, and the RT mode transition trigger may be changed according to the type of BB (BB1 to BB4). For example, BB1 Then, the RT mode may be shifted in response to the internal winning of the RB, and the RT mode may be shifted in response to the RB winning in the BB2 to BB4.

  FIG. 33 (a) is a diagram showing an example of the RT mode transition trigger pattern, and FIG. 33 (b) is a diagram showing an example of the RT transition condition during the BB game.

  As shown in FIG. 5A, the RT mode transition is triggered by a combination of RB1 internal winning, RB1 winning, RB1 game ending, RB2 internal winning, RB2 winning, and RB2 gaming ending. Conceivable. In addition, SRB may be added to the transition condition of the RT mode. For example, when an internal lottery in the SRB game corresponds to a loss, a specific symbol combination (for example, “blue 7-blue 7-blue 7”) is arranged. The RT mode may be shifted when the specific symbol combination is prepared. Also, as shown in FIG. 5B, the RT transition conditions may be different depending on the types of winning combinations BB1 to BB4 that have triggered the start of the BB game.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 34, the number of BB games is changed by changing the upper limit of the number of medals acquired during BB games (SuperBB) by BB1 winning and BB games by BB2 to BB4 (NormalBB). The winning probabilities of RB1 and RB2 may be different.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 35, a special Rep mode “chance-chance-chance” in which a re-game player is established can be arranged on the active line, and a game having a high advantage for the player (for example, the above-mentioned In the game in which the expectation effect is performed), the appearance rate of the special Rep mode may be increased.

  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.

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