Description

  The present invention relates to a swivel-type gaming machine that produces various games according to the game situation.

  In general, the above-mentioned spinning-type game machine has three spinning reels with a plurality of symbols, a start lever for instructing the start of rotation of the three spinning reels, and an instruction to stop the rotation of each spinning reel. Three stop buttons, an effect means, a main control board, and an effect control board. When the player operates the start lever, driving of the three spinning reels starts, and when each stop button is pressed, the driving of the spinning reel corresponding to the stop button is stopped. When the combination of symbols corresponding to various combinations is displayed when the three spinning reels are stopped, the result of the game (game) is won.

  The main control board controls game contents such as control of the reel reel. In addition, the main control board acquires a random value when the start lever is pressed, and performs a lottery process for a role based on the acquired random value. In the winning lottery process, the main control board determines whether or not the random number value corresponds to a predetermined winning value, and thereby, among a plurality of types of winning combinations including bonuses and small roles. Decide whether you have won any of the roles or not. The main control board controls the stopping operation of each spinning reel so as to allow the result of the game to be the winning of the winning combination determined in the winning lottery in each game. In addition, the main control board, when a major player is determined in the role lottery, permits the game result to be a prize for the major player during the period from when the decision is made until winning the major player. To do.

  The effect means performs various game effects, for example, a winning combination notification effect for notifying that a predetermined combination has been won, according to the game situation. Specifically, an electrical display device, a sound generation device, or the like is used as such a production means. The effect control board controls the effect means. Conventionally, there has been proposed a spinning-type game machine provided with a WIN lamp for performing an announcement of an important role for notifying that the winning of an important role is permitted (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In this spinning-type game machine, when the winning control is won by a role lottery, the effect control board turns on the WIN lamp when the three spinning reels stop in the game in which the role lottery is performed.

JP 2002-17952 A

  By the way, in the game in the period when the winning of the main character is permitted, it appears in the game in the period when the winning of the main character is not permitted as a stop display of a specific rotating reel among the three rotating reels. There are cases where a specific stop point (a certain point) without a mark is displayed. For this reason, the player can know that the major player has been won in the role lottery by the first appearance. However, in the spinning-type game machine provided with the WIN lamp described above, when a major player is elected in the role lottery, the production control board does not depend on whether or not the stop indication of a specific spinning reel shows a certainty. Since the WIN lamp is immediately turned on in the game in which the role lottery is performed, there is a problem that the player cannot enjoy the first look and the gameability is lowered.

  In order to solve such a problem, the WIN lamp may be turned on in a game after several games have passed since the game won as a major player. However, in this case, it may be possible that the player is unaware that the player is elected as a major player and quits the game and stands up before the major actor announcement effect is performed. This will give a significant loss to the player. For this reason, it is desired to realize a swivel-type gaming machine that can execute a big role notification effect at an optimal timing without degrading game playability or giving a disadvantage to a player.

  The present invention has been made based on the above circumstances, and a revolving game machine capable of executing a major role notification effect at an optimal timing without degrading game play or giving a disadvantage to the player. Is intended to provide.

  To achieve the above object, the invention according to claim 1 has a plurality of symbol display means capable of a variable display for changing a plurality of symbols and a stop display for stopping the variable display, and a predetermined number of game media. It is possible to play a game on the condition that is inserted, and when the variable display is stopped after the plurality of symbol display means starts the variable display, the stop display of the plurality of symbol display means is a major player, If you show a combination of symbols corresponding to any of the multiple types of roles including small roles, you can win each time the game is started on a spinning-type gaming machine where the game result is a winning combination When determining a combination and controlling the stop display of the plurality of symbol display means so as to allow the result of the game to be a winning combination of the determined combination, and when a leading role is determined as a winning combination That decision is made In order to announce that the game control means permits the result of the game to become a prize for the major player and the game control means permits the winning of the major figure during the period from when the prize is won And when the game control means permits the winning of the big actor, the stop display of the specific symbol display means among the plurality of symbol display means is performed, On the condition that it has shown a specific stoppage that can appear in the game during the period from when it was passed to winning the big role, if the big role notification means has not yet performed the big role notification production, When controlling the operation of the big role notifying means and when the game control means permits winning of the big role, the stop display of the plurality of symbol display means did not indicate a combination of symbols corresponding to the small role Article To, if still the major role notification means at that time has not been notified effect major role, and is characterized in that and a presentation control means for controlling the operation of the major role notification means.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the revolving type gaming machine according to the first aspect, the effect control means stops the plurality of symbol display means when the game control means permits winning of a major player. On the condition that the display indicates a combination of symbols corresponding to the small role, the big role notification means is not activated even in the game if the big role notification means has not yet performed the big role notification effect at that time. It is what.

  The invention according to claim 3 is the spinning-reel game machine according to claim 2, wherein the number of game media to be paid out at the time of winning a small role is the same as the number of game media required for one game. Or more than that.

  In the first aspect of the present invention, when the game control means permits the winning of a big game, the effect control means displays a stop of a specific symbol display means among the plurality of symbol display means, and determines the big game. On the condition that a specific stoppage that can appear in a game during the period from when the game was received until winning the winning role is shown, if the leading role notification means has not yet played the leading role announcement, While controlling the operation of the notification means, and when the game control means permits the winning of the major role, on the condition that the stop display of the plurality of symbol display means did not indicate a combination of symbols corresponding to the small role, At that time, if the big role notification means has not yet performed the big role notification production, the operation of the big role notification means is controlled. Thereby, regardless of whether or not to win a small role in the game, if the stop display of the specific symbol display means shows a specific stop appearance, the big role notification means will execute the big role notification effect at that time, The player can play a game while expecting the appearance of a specific stop event, and can eliminate the unnaturalness that the big role announcement effect is not executed even though the specific stop event is displayed. . In addition, when the game control means permits the winning of the major role, if the game result is a non-winning role of the minor role, there is no payout of the gaming medium, so that the gaming medium owned by the player after the game If the number of players becomes zero, the player may quit the game and stand. In the present invention, when the game control means permits the winning of the major role, when the stop display of the specific symbol display means does not show a specific stop outcome, the game result is a non-winning of the small role, Since the big actor notifying means can execute the big executive announcement effect and inform the player that the winning of the big actor is permitted, it is possible to prevent the player from losing the opportunity to win the big actor. Therefore, in the present invention, it is possible to execute the big role notification effect at the optimal timing.

  In the invention described in claim 2, when the game control means permits the winning of the major player, the effect control means indicates that the stop display of the plurality of symbol display means indicates a combination of symbols corresponding to the smaller role. As a condition, if the big role notification means has not yet performed the big role notification production at that time, the big role notification means is not operated even in the game. When a small role is won in a game, a predetermined number of game media are paid out, so that the player can obtain the benefit of acquiring the game media, and the number of game media owned by the player after the game is It will never be zero. Usually, in such a situation, the player has a willingness to continue the game, and it is considered that he rarely leaves the game and stands. The same applies when the stop display of a specific symbol display means does not indicate a specific stop event in the game. For this reason, in the present invention, when the game control means permits the winning of the big role, when the stop display of the specific symbol display means does not show the specific stop result, the game result is the winning of the small role However, in this game, it is decided not to cause the big actor notification means to perform the big role announcement effect, but this does not give a big disadvantage to the player. Since the next game can be performed with a sense of expectation for the execution of the game, the gameability is not lowered.

  According to the third aspect of the present invention, the number of game media to be paid out at the time of winning a small role is equal to or greater than the number of game media required to play one game. Thus, if the player wins a small role, the player can always acquire the number of game media that can be played at least once, so that the game control means permits the winning of the big role And if the stop display of a specific symbol display means does not show a specific stop outcome, and the game result is a small role winning, the player will continue to play the game until the major role notification means is activated Can increase the likelihood of doing so.

Each of the spinning reels 11a, 11b, and 11c is driven so that the symbol row shown in FIG. 3 moves from top to bottom.

  The display window 12 is a transparent window provided on the front side of the reel reels 11a, 11b, and 11c. The display window 12 displays the three symbols along the rotation direction of the spinning reel and the three symbols along the direction orthogonal to the rotation direction when the three spinning reels 11a, 11b, and 11c are stopped. Can do. That is, as shown in FIG. 1, the player attaches each of the spinning reels 11a, 11b, and 11c from the display window 12 when the left spinning reel 11a, the central spinning reel 11b, and the right spinning reel 11c are stopped. The three symbols (total of nine symbols) can be visually observed.

  In the spinning-type game machine, a game (game) is performed in which the symbols displayed when the three spinning reels 11a, 11b, and 11c are stopped are aligned with combinations of symbols corresponding to various roles. That is, when the three spinning reels 11a, 11b, and 11c stop after the three spinning reels 11a, 11b, and 11c start to rotate, a combination of symbols corresponding to any of the multiple types of roles Is stopped and displayed on the display window 12, the game result is the winning combination.

  The medal slot 13 is an slot for a player to insert a medal (game medium). The inserted medal detection sensor 61 is provided inside the medal insertion slot 13 and detects that a medal has been inserted into the medal insertion slot 13. A detection signal from the inserted medal detection sensor 61 is sent to the main control board 70. Based on the detection signal from the inserted medal detection sensor 61, the main control board 70 can recognize how many medals have been inserted.

  A credit number display unit 14 is provided immediately below the display window 12. The credit number display unit 14 displays the medal credit number (stored number) within a predetermined range (for example, within 50 cards). When the result of the game is a winning of a predetermined combination, the main control board 70 adds the number of medals to be paid out corresponding to the combination to the current number of credits, and adds the added number to the credit number display unit 14. Display.

  In the spinning cylinder type gaming machine of this embodiment, a single game can be played by inserting two or three medals. Inserting two medals or three medals is a condition for playing the game. For this reason, when the player plays a game, he or she inserts two or three medals from the medal slot 13, or credits for two medals or three medals from the current medal credit number. Numbers must be used.

  The MAX bet button 15 and the single insert button 16 play a game using two or three medals out of credited medals instead of actually inserting medals from the medal insertion slot 13. This is a game instruction means for instructing the effect. The MAX bet button 15 and the single-load button 16 are provided on the lower left side of the display window 12. The MAX bet button 15 is a button for instructing to play a game using three medals from among the credited medals, and the one-sheet insertion button 16 is selected from among the credited medals. It is a button for instructing to play a game using two or three medals. Specifically, by pressing the one-sheet insertion button 16 twice, it is instructed to play a game using two medals from among the credited medals, and the one-sheet insertion button 16 is pressed three times. Thus, it is instructed to play the game using three medals from among the medals that have been credited. In other words, pressing the single-load button 16 three times is the same as pressing the MAX bet button 15 once.

  The MAX bet button operation detection sensor 62 detects that the MAX bet button 15 has been pressed, and the one-sheet insertion button operation detection sensor 63 detects that the one-sheet insertion button 16 has been pressed. Detection signals from the button operation detection sensors 62 and 63 are sent to the main control board 70. When receiving the detection signal, the main control board 70 recognizes how many medals are used to play the game, subtracts the number of credits corresponding to the number of recognized medals from the current number of credits, and subtracts the number. The number of credits displayed is displayed on the credit amount display unit 14.

  The start lever 18 is operated by the player to instruct to start the game. Operation of the MAX bet button 15 in the state where the number of medals necessary for one game is inserted from the medal slot 13 or the number of medals necessary for one game is already credited Alternatively, the start lever 18 can be operated by performing any one of two or three operations of the single-load button 16. Here, one game starts when the start lever 18 is operated, and ends when all the three stop buttons 19a, 19b, and 19c are pressed. The start lever operation detection sensor 64 detects that the start lever 18 has been operated. When the start lever operation detection sensor 64 detects that the start lever 18 has been operated, it sends a game start signal to the main control board 70. The main control board 70 receives a signal from any one of the inserted medal detection sensor 61, the MAX bet button operation detection sensor 62, and the one-sheet insertion button operation detection sensor 63, and inserts the number of medals necessary for playing the game. When the game start signal is received from the start lever operation detection sensor 64 while recognizing that the game is being performed, a game start process is performed. Specifically, when the main control board 70 receives the game start signal, the main control board 70 acquires a random number value, performs a lottery process for the role based on the random number value, and 4.1 from the time of receiving the previous game start signal. Immediately after the elapse of one second or more, the rotating operation of the three reel reels 11a, 11b, and 11c is started immediately after the elapse of 4.1 seconds if 4.1 seconds have elapsed. As described above, the start lever 18 serves as a change instruction unit that gives an opportunity to start the change display operation of the three reel reels 11a, 11b, and 11c.

  The left stop button 19a is for instructing to stop the rotation operation of the left spinning reel 11a, and the center stop button 19b is for instructing to stop the rotation operation of the central spinning reel 11b, and is stopped at the right side. The button 19c is for instructing to stop the rotation operation of the right spinning reel 11c. That is, each stop button 19a, 19b, 19c serves as a stop instruction means for giving an opportunity for the spinning reel to stop display. The left stop button operation detection sensor 65a detects that the left stop button 19a is pressed, and the center stop button operation detection sensor 65b detects that the center stop button 19b is pressed. The right stop button operation detection sensor 65c detects that the right stop button 19c has been pressed. Detection signals from the respective stop button operation detection sensors 65a, 65b, 65c are sent to the main control board 70. When receiving the detection signals from the stop button operation detection sensors 65a, 65b, and 65c, the main control board 70 stops the rotation operation of the spinning reel corresponding to the stop button operation detection sensor by a predetermined control method.

  In the present embodiment, five pay lines are set for stopping the three reels 11a, 11b, and 11c and aligning predetermined symbol combinations. That is, three lines extending in the horizontal direction through each of the upper, middle, and lower portions of the display window 12, lines extending from the upper left to the lower right of the display window 12, and from the lower left to the lower right of the display window 12. And a line extending toward it. In the case of playing a game using two medals, the above five winning lines are all valid winning lines regardless of whether the game is played using three medals. When the three spinning reels 11a, 11b, and 11c are stopped, if a combination of predetermined symbols is arranged on any one of the five winning lines, the game result is a winning combination corresponding to the combination. It becomes.

  Now, the types of roles will be described. FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining a combination of symbols for winning each combination. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, there are a total of six types including a big bonus (BB), a challenge time big bonus (CT), a replay role (replaying role), a bell small role, a cherry small role, and a watermelon small role. A role is defined. The winning condition for BB is that the seven red symbols arranged on each of the three spinning reels 11a, 11b, and 11c are aligned on the winning line, and the winning condition for CT is that each of the spinning reels 11a and 11b. The red 7 symbols arranged and the bar symbols arranged on the reel reel 11c are aligned on the winning line. The winning condition for the replay role is that the replay symbols arranged on each of the three reel reels 11a, 11b, and 11c are aligned on the winning line. The winning condition for the bell small role is that the bell symbols arranged on each of the three spinning reels 11a, 11b, and 11c are aligned on the winning line, and the winning condition for the watermelon small role is that the three spinning reels 11a. , 11b, and 11c are aligned on the winning line. The winning condition for the cherry small combination is that the cherry symbols arranged on the left spinning reel 11a are stopped and displayed at any position in the display window 12.

  Among these six types of roles, the bell small part, cherry small part and watermelon small part are referred to as small parts that are small hits. When the player wins the small bell role by the lottery process of the main control board 70, the player can align the three bell symbols on the winning line in the game. When the three bell symbols are aligned on the winning line, a bell small role is won. When winning the bell small role, if this game is a game using three medals (three-game game), ten medals will be paid out, and this game will be a game using two medals ( 15 medals are paid out in the case of a two-sheet game. In addition, when the cherry small role is won by the lottery process of the role by the main control board 70, the player stops and displays the cherry symbols arranged on the left spinning reel 11a in any position in the display window 12 in the game. It becomes possible to make it. Then, when the cherry symbol arranged on the left reel reel 11a is stopped and displayed at any position in the display window 12, a winning of the small cherry role is achieved. When winning the cherry small role, two medals are paid out if the current game is a three-game, and fifteen medals are paid out if the current game is a two-game. Further, when a watermelon small role is won by a lottery process of a role by the main control board 70, the player can align three watermelon symbols on the winning line in the game. And when three watermelon symbols are aligned on the winning line, a watermelon small character wins. When winning the watermelon small role, 5 medals are paid out if the current game is a 3-game game, and 15 medals are paid out if the current game is a 2-game game.

  Further, when a replay combination is won by a combination lottery process by the main control board 70, the player can align three replay symbols on the winning line in the game. When the three replay symbols are aligned on the winning line, a replay role is won. When winning the replay role, the revolving game machine automatically enters the number of medals used in this game, that is, the number of medals used in this game, and the player does not insert new medals. Again, the game can be played. In this embodiment, since the replay role does not pay out medals, the replay role is not included in the small role, but a new medal insertion operation for the next game is unnecessary, so it was used for that game. It is also possible to treat the replay role as a small role, assuming that the medal has been paid out.

  BB and CT are big players called so-called bonuses. When BB is won by the lottery process of the role by the main control board 70, the player can arrange three red 7 symbols on the winning line. When three red 7 symbols are aligned on the winning line, BB is won. When winning a prize for BB, the BB game is executed in the rotary type gaming machine. In the BB game, the win probability of the small role is dramatically improved, and the player can acquire a large amount of medals in a short time. This BB game ends when the cumulative payout number of medals exceeds 300, for example. In addition, when CT is won by the lottery process of the role by the main control board 70, the player can align a combination of symbols such as a red 7 symbol, a red 7 symbol, and a bar symbol on the winning line. When this symbol combination is aligned on the winning line, a CT win is obtained. When winning the CT, a CT game is executed in the rotary type gaming machine. In the CT game, the reel control is in a special control state, and any small combination can be arranged on the winning line depending on the skill of the player regardless of the lottery result of the combination. This CT game ends when the cumulative payout number of medals exceeds 150, for example. In the BB game and CT game, a two-game game is performed.

  The number-of-payout display unit 22 displays the number of medals to be paid out in accordance with the winning combination. The main control board 70 controls the payout number display unit 22. For example, when the player presses the clearing button 21, the number of medals corresponding to the number of credits at that time is released from the medal outlet 23. The medal tray 24 is a tray for accumulating medals discharged from the medal discharge port 23. The payout device 25 is a device that pays out medals one by one from the medal discharge port 23 using a predetermined rotation mechanism (not shown). The operation of the dispensing device 25 is controlled by the main control board 70.

  The electrical display unit 40 displays various game lamps by lighting a plurality of display lamps, and performs effects related to the game. In the present embodiment, a light-emitting diode is used as the display lamp. The lighting display unit 40 is controlled by the effect control board 80 based on a command from the main control board 70. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the electrical display unit 40 includes a top lamp unit 41, a left side lamp unit 42, a right side lamp unit 43, a left panel lamp unit 44, and a right panel.

Specifically, three panel portions are formed on the right side of the display window 12, and a right panel lamp unit 45 is provided in a portion corresponding to these three panel portions. And the right panel lamp unit 45 is divided into three groups according to each panel part. The lighting control of the right panel lamp unit 45 is performed for each group.

  In particular, in the present embodiment, among the three groups constituting the right panel lamp unit 45, the group corresponding to the lowermost panel portion is used as the bonus notification lamp (large role notification means) 45a. The bonus notification lamp 45a performs a bonus notification effect for notifying that a bonus (BB or CT) winning is permitted. Therefore, whether or not the bonus notification lamp 45a is lit is the greatest concern for the player.

  The speaker unit 50 performs an effect related to the game with sound. Control of the speaker unit 50 is performed by the effect control board 80 based on a command from the main control board 70. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the speaker unit 50 includes a first door speaker 51, a second door speaker 52, and a rear speaker 53. The first door speaker 51 and the second door speaker 52 are respectively provided on the left side and the right side of the upper part of the back side of the front door. That is, in FIG. 1, the first door speaker 51 and the second door speaker 52 are circles drawn by dotted lines on the upper part of the front door. Further, the rear speaker 53 is provided on the back side of the swivel game machine.

  It should be noted that, in the case of the spinning-reel game machine of the present embodiment, by displaying a plurality of images of characters, numbers, figures, characters, etc., a notice of establishment of a role, notification of predetermined information, and other effects related to games are performed. An image display unit is not provided. Normally, the image display unit is provided at the upper center of the display window. However, in this embodiment, the image display unit is not provided. The number of sheets is described.

  Next, the main control board 70 will be described. The main control board 70 mainly controls and manages game contents and medal payout. As shown in FIG. 2, the main control board 70 includes random number generation means 71, ROM 72, RAM 73, and CPU (game control means) 74. The ROM 72 stores various programs related to game content control and the like. The RAM 73 is a working memory that temporarily stores data.

  The CPU 74 controls the game content by executing a program stored in the ROM 72, and controls the effect by controlling the effect control board 80. Specifically, each time the start lever 18 is operated and the game is started, the CPU 74 determines a winning combination lottery process from among various winning combinations, management of the game state, the spinning reel 11a, 11b, 11c drive / stop processing, command transmission processing to the effect control board 80, and the like are performed.

  First, game state management will be described. The CPU 74 controls the transition of the gaming state based on the result of the role lottery performed when the game is started, the result of the game, and the like. In the swivel type gaming machine of the present embodiment, various gaming states such as “general gaming state”, “BB internal state”, “CT internal state”, “BB gaming state”, “CT gaming state”, etc. A gaming state is set. The “general gaming state” is a normal gaming state in which a normal game is played. In such a normal game, a medal can be obtained by winning a small role by a lottery drawing and winning the small role in the game. When the gaming machine is in the general gaming state, when winning the BB by the role lottery based on the random number value, the CPU 74 immediately shifts the gaming state from the general gaming state to the BB internal state, and when winning the CT, the CPU 74 immediately The gaming state is shifted from the general gaming state to the CT internal state.

  The “BB inside state” is a gaming state in which the player has the opportunity to align the three red 7 symbols on the winning line by operating the stop buttons 19a, 19b, 19c of the player himself. That is, in the BB internal state, it is possible to arrange three red 7 symbols on the winning line regardless of the result of the winning lottery. When the gaming machine is in the BB internal state, when the three red 7 symbols are aligned on the winning line, the CPU 74 shifts the gaming state from the BB internal state to the BB gaming state at the next game. Therefore, the “BB internal state” is a gaming state in a period from when a result of winning a BB is obtained by a winning lottery until winning a BB. The “CT internal state” is a game in which the player is given an opportunity to align the combination of red 7 symbols, red 7 symbols, and bar symbols on the winning line by operating the stop buttons 19a, 19b, and 19c. State. That is, in the CT internal state, it is possible to align the symbol combinations on the winning line regardless of the result of the lottery. When the gaming machine is in the CT internal state, the CPU 74 shifts the gaming state from the CT internal state to the CT gaming state in the next game when the combination of symbols is aligned on the winning line. Therefore, the “CT internal state” is a gaming state in a period from when a result of CT winning is obtained by a lottery until a CT is won. Hereinafter, the “BB internal state” and “CT internal state” are also referred to as “bonus internal state”.

  The “BB gaming state” is a gaming state in which a player can obtain the most amount of medals by playing a BB game in which the winning probability of a small role is dramatically improved. The BB game ends when the cumulative payout number of medals exceeds 300. When the BB game ends, the CPU 74 shifts the gaming state from the BB gaming state to the general gaming state during the next game. The “CT gaming state” is a gaming state in which a player can win a large number of medals after the BB gaming state by performing a CT game. The CT game ends when the cumulative payout number of medals exceeds 150. When the CT game ends, the CPU 74 shifts the gaming state from the CT gaming state to the general gaming state during the next game. Hereinafter, “BB gaming state” and “CT gaming state” are also referred to as “bonus gaming state”. As described above, when the spinning-type gaming machine has a plurality of gaming states, it is possible to realize a variety of games according to the gaming state.

  Next, the lottery process of the combination based on the random value will be described. The random number generating means 71 sequentially generates numerical values in a predetermined range, acquires the numerical values as random values at predetermined timing, and sends the acquired random values to the CPU 74. In the present embodiment, a 2-byte hardware random number counter is used as the random number generation means 71. For this reason, the range of numerical values generated by the random number generating means 71 is a range from 0 to 65535. Therefore, the obtained random number value is also a number within this range. The random number generation means 71 acquires a random value when receiving a game start signal from the start lever operation detection sensor 64. The random number value is sent to the CPU 74, and the CPU 74 performs a lottery process for the combination based on the sent random number value.

  The lottery process of the combination is performed using a predetermined combination lottery table. This combination lottery table defines a range of random values corresponding to various combinations according to the lottery probability of the combination, and is provided for each number of inserted medals and for each gaming state. Each combination lottery table is stored in the ROM 72. In each of the lottery tables, a total of 65,536 pieces of numerical data from 0 to 65535 are distributed to various types or so-called “unfair” that does not correspond to any combination. The CPU 74 determines which winning combination is won or not, by checking which combination the random number value sent from the random number generation means 71 corresponds to in the winning lottery table. The CPU 74 controls the game contents based on the result of the lottery drawing or sends a predetermined command to the effect control board 80.

  Now, the contents of the role lottery table will be described in detail. In the present embodiment, in the role lottery table for the general gaming state when two medals are inserted, the “bell small role”, “cherry small role”, “watermelon small role”, “replay role”, “BB” A total of six types of “CT” are defined as winning combinations. On the other hand, in the role lottery table for the general game state when three medals are inserted, the “bell small role”, “cherry small role”, “watermelon small role”, “replay role”, “BB”, “CT” A total of nine types of “Cherry small combination and BB”, “Replay combination and BB”, and “Replay combination and CT” are defined as winning combinations. In this way, when the gaming machine is in a general gaming state, when three medals are inserted, among the roles that can be won in the role lottery, there is a role (simultaneous winning role) with the content that two roles are won simultaneously. include. In addition, there are 4 types of “Cherry Small”, “Bell Small”, “Watermelon Small”, and “Replay” in the role lottery table for the bonus internal medium state when 2 or 3 medals are inserted. Is defined as a winning combination. Similarly, in the role lottery table for the bonus game state, a total of four types of roles, “cherry small role”, “bell small role”, “watermelon small role”, and “replay role” are defined as possible winning combinations. Yes.

  Further, in each combination lottery table, the probabilities of winning various combinations and unfair selection are set to predetermined probabilities. For example, even in the combination lottery table for the general gaming state, the probabilities of winning various combinations differ depending on whether the number of inserted medals is two or three.

  Next, the drive / stop process of the spinning reels 11a, 11b, and 11c will be described. The CPU 74 performs reel control for driving and stopping the spinning reels 11a, 11b, and 11c as one of game controls. The reel control of the CPU 74 includes reel drive start control and reel drive stop control. The reel driving start control starts driving operation of the three spinning reels 11a, 11b, and 11c when the start lever 18 is pushed on condition that two or three medals are inserted. It means to control. Specifically, the CPU 74 receives a signal from the inserted medal detection sensor 61, the MAX bet button operation detection sensor 62 or the one-sheet insertion button operation detection sensor 63, and recognizes that two or three medals have been inserted. After that, when receiving a signal from the start lever operation detection sensor 64, the three reel reels 11a, 11b, and 11c are started to be driven.

  The reel drive stop control means that when the spinning reel is being driven, when the stop button for the spinning reel is pressed, the driving of the spinning reel is stopped. Specifically, when the spinning reel is being driven, the CPU 74 receives a signal indicating that the stop button for the spinning reel has been pressed and that the stop button has been pressed from the stop button operation detection sensor for the stop button. The driving of the reel reel is stopped. At this time, the CPU 74 controls the operation of stopping the spinning reel with respect to the stop button in accordance with the winning combination determined by the combination lottery. Specifically, in each game, the CPU 74 performs reel drive stop control so as to permit the result of the game to be a winning combination determined by the winning lottery at the start of the game. In other words, the result of the game is whether the winning combination is established, or is a so-called “out of game” in which symbols corresponding to any of the bonus, replay winning combination, and small winning combination are not arranged. However, if a bonus (BB or CT) is determined by lot drawing, during the period from when the determination is made until winning the bonus (while the gaming machine is in the bonus internal state) The CPU 74 performs reel drive stop control so as to allow the bonus of the bonus to the game result.

  Further, the reel drive stop control includes reel pull-in control that is performed when one of the bonus, replay combination, and small combination is won, and the slip-out control that is performed when the combination is not selected. Outlier control refers to controlling the stop position of the spinning reel so that none of the bonus, replay combination, and small combination is arranged on the winning line. Therefore, in this case, even if the player presses the stop button aiming at a desired combination, no combination is won and the game result is a so-called “out of game”.

  Reel pull-in control is a symbol displayed on the winning line when the stop button is pressed when winning a bonus, replay role or small role by lot drawing. If there is a symbol constituting a winning combination within the range of 5 frames from that symbol including the symbol, the stop position of the spinning reel relative to the stop button is controlled so that the symbol is drawn on the winning line. . However, when there is no symbol constituting the role within the above range at the timing when the player presses the stop button, the reel pull-in control does not work, and the symbol that has been pressed stops on the winning line. Accordingly, at this time, the symbols constituting the winning combination are not aligned on the winning line, and the winning combination is not won. In particular, in the present embodiment, a symbol row as shown in FIG. 3 is arranged on each reel reel 11a, 11b, 11c. In such a symbol sequence, at most four symbols are included between adjacent replay symbols. For this reason, when a replay combination is won by a combination lottery, no matter what timing the player presses the three stop buttons 19a, 19b, 19c, the three replay symbols are always generated by the reel pull-in control. The result of the game is a replay winning combination that is on the winning line. That is, when a replay role is won by a role lottery, the probability that the result of the game will be a replay role is 100%, and the winning for the replay role will not be missed. Similarly, in the symbol row arranged on each reel 11a, 11b, 11c, at most four symbols are included between the adjacent bell symbols. For this reason, if the player wins the small bell role by the lottery, no matter what timing the player presses the three stop buttons 19a, 19b, 19c, the reel pull-in control causes the three bell symbols to be displayed. It will always be on the winning line, and the result of the game will be the winning of the bell small role.

  By the way, when the gaming machine is in a general gaming state, a plurality of winning combinations may be won simultaneously by winning lottery. Further, as described above, when the gaming machine is in the bonus internal state, the CPU 74 not only permits winning of the winning combination in the current winning lottery but also wins the bonus (BB or CT). The reel drive stop control is performed so that In such a case, that is, when there are two or more winning combinations permitted for winning, the CPU 74 performs reel pull-in control for a plurality of winning combinations permitted for winning according to a predetermined priority. This priority order is determined in advance as replay combination> bonus> small combination. For example, when the winning of the BB and the small bell role is permitted, the CPU 74 performs the reel pull-in control so that the winning of the BB is given priority over the winning of the small bell role. On the other hand, when the winning of the replay combination and the BB is permitted, the CPU 74 performs the reel pull-in control so that the winning of the replay combination is given priority over the winning of the BB. As described above, in this embodiment, when the replay combination is won, the replay combination is always won by the reel pull-in control, so that the BB is not won. For this reason, for example, when a gaming machine is in a general gaming state, and a replay role and a BB are simultaneously won by a role lottery in the current game, or when a gaming machine is in a BB internal state and replayed by a role lottery in this game When a winning combination is made, the player cannot align the three red 7 symbols on the winning line in the game. In these cases, the player can arrange three red 7 symbols on the winning line when winning a role other than the replay role by winning a lottery.

  The reel drive stop control as described above can be realized by applying a known technique. For example, the CPU 74 stops the driving of each spinning reel 11a, 11b, 11c based on the stop control table for each spinning reel. In the stop control table of each spinning reel, the spinning reel is displayed at a predetermined reference position (for example, the upper position in the display window 12) when the stop button corresponding to the spinning reel is pressed. The relationship between the symbol number of the symbol and the symbol number of the symbol actually stopped at the reference position is defined. Here, this relationship is determined so as to match the contents of the above-described reel drive stop control (reel pull-in control, slip-off control, etc.). In addition, the stop control table for each spinning reel is displayed for each game state, for each winning combination, and for each symbol that is stopped when other spinning reels are already stopped. , Provided. These stop control tables are stored in the ROM 72.

  Actually, the contents of the stop control table for each spinning reel when the gaming state is in the bonus internal state and the stop control table for each spinning reel when the gaming state is the general gaming state are different. For example, the former stop control table includes contents such that a combination of symbols corresponding to the bonus may appear on the winning line, while the latter stop control table includes such contents. Not. For this reason, the combination of symbols corresponding to the bonus can appear on the winning line only when the gaming state is the bonus internal medium state.

  In addition, in the stop control table of a specific spinning reel, for example, the left spinning reel 11a, when the gaming state is in the bonus internal state and no spinning reel is stopped, the gaming state is the general gaming state. In this case, there is included a content such that a specific stop appearance that never appears when the stop control table of the left rotating reel 11a is used when none of the rotating reels are stopped. This specific stop event is a stop event that can appear only in a game during a period in which the game state is in the bonus internal state, and is referred to as a so-called “first chance”. The term “certain” means that the left spinning reel 11a stops for the first time, and that means that the bonus is won (the bonus is confirmed). For example, in the present embodiment, when the left reel reel 11a stops and displays the bell symbol of the symbol number “18” at the upper position in the display window 12, that is, the upper stage in the display window 12. The left spinning reel 11a when the bell symbol of symbol number “18”, the red symbol of symbol number “19”, and the bell symbol of symbol number “20” are stopped and displayed at the middle and lower positions, respectively. Is defined as one of the most promising outcomes. Therefore, if the stop indication of the left reel reel 11a shows a certainty, the player can know that the bonus is won by the role lottery. In general, the first eye is not limited to the above-mentioned stop symbol such as the bell symbol, the red 7 symbol, and the bell symbol, but may be another stop symbol. Also, as a first check, not only one but also a plurality can be defined.

  Next, command transmission processing to the effect control board 80 will be described. There are many types of commands that are transmitted from the CPU 74 to the effect control board 80. For example, there are a lottery result command, an operation command, a stop position command, a command after stopping the spinning cylinder, and the like. The CPU 74 transmits these commands to the effect control board 80 to transmit various information to the effect control board 80 to control the effect control board 80.

  The lottery result command is a command signal created based on the result of the role lottery. The lottery result command includes a winning number command and a gaming state command. When the start lever 18 is pressed, the CPU 74 performs the above-described combination lottery process and creates a winning number command indicating the type of the winning combination. Further, the CPU 74 creates a gaming state command indicating the gaming state at the time of the lottery. Here, the CPU 74 controls the transition of the gaming state based on the result of the winning lottery, but when the gaming state is transitioned, the gaming state command created by the CPU 74 does not indicate the gaming state after the transition, It shows the gaming state before the transition. The winning number command and the game state command thus created are output to the effect control means 80 as a lottery result command.

  The operation command is a command signal created when a predetermined operation is performed by the player. When a predetermined operation is performed by the player, the CPU 74 creates an operation command indicating that the operation has been performed, and outputs the created operation command to the effect control board 80. Specifically, when the start lever 18 is pressed, the left stop button 19a is pressed, the center stop button 19b is pressed, the right stop button 19c is pressed, and a medal is inserted or the MAX bet button 15 or one sheet. When the input button 16 is pressed, an operation command is created. That is, when the start lever 18 is pressed, an operation command indicating that the start lever 18 is pressed is created. When the left stop button 19a is pressed, an operation command indicating that the left stop button 19a is pressed is created. When the center stop button 19b is pressed, an operation command indicating that the center stop button 19b is pressed is created, and When the right stop button 19c is pressed, an operation command indicating that the right stop button 19c is pressed is created. Further, when a medal is inserted, an operation command indicating that a predetermined number of medals have been inserted from the medal insertion slot 13 is created, and when the MAX bet button 15 is pressed, an operation command indicating that the MAX bet button 15 is pressed is generated. Then, when the one-sheet insertion button 16 is pressed, an operation command indicating that the one-sheet insertion button 16 has been pressed a predetermined number of times is created. Actually, the CPU 74 creates an operation command having exactly the same contents when a medal is inserted, when the MAX bet button 15 is pressed, or when the single-load button 16 is pressed. Note that the operation command created when a medal is inserted includes information indicating the number of inserted medals.

  The stop position command is a command signal indicating the stop position of each reel reel 11a, 11b, 11c. When each spinning reel 11a, 11b, 11c stops, the CPU 74 creates a stop position command based on the stop position of the spinning reel, and outputs the created stop position command to the effect control board 80. Specifically, as the content of the stop position command, the symbol number of the symbol displayed at a predetermined reference position (for example, the upper position in the display window 12) when the reel reel stops. Is used. The stop position command of each spinning reel is output to the effect control board 80 together with an operation command indicating that the stop button corresponding to the spinning reel is pressed. The spinning cylinder rotation stop command is a command signal created when all of the three spinning reels 11a, 11b, and 11c stop rotating. The CPU 74 creates a spinning rotation stop command to indicate that all the three spinning reels 11a, 11b, and 11c have stopped rotating when all the three spinning reels 11a, 11b, and 11c have stopped rotating. Output to the control board 80.

  In addition, various standards have been established for the spinning machine. One of the standards is that if 4.1 seconds have not elapsed since the start lever 18 was operated, the spinning reels 11a, 11b, and 11c do not rotate even if the start lever 18 is operated next time. For this reason, the CPU 74 performs drive start control of the spinning reels 11a, 11b, and 11c so as to conform to the standard. However, even if the start lever 18 is operated next within 4.1 seconds after the start lever 18 is operated, the CPU 74 detects the inserted medal detection sensor 61, the MAX bet button operation detection sensor 62, or one sheet. If a signal is sent from the insertion button operation detection sensor 63 and it has already been recognized that two or three medals have been inserted, a role lottery process based on a random number value is performed.

  Next, the effect control board 80 will be described. The effect control board 80 is connected to the main control board 70 via a communication cable line. The effect control board 80 mainly realizes functions related to game effects. As shown in FIG. 2, the effect control board 80 includes a ROM 81, a RAM 82, and a CPU 83. The ROM 81 stores various programs related to game effects. The RAM 82 is a working memory that temporarily stores data. The CPU 83 controls a game effect by executing a program stored in the ROM 81. That is, the CPU 83 plays a role as an effect control means for controlling the illumination display unit 40 and the speaker unit 50.

  When the CPU 83 receives various commands from the main control board 70, the CPU 83 temporarily stores the contents of the received commands in the RAM 82. For example, when a lottery result command is sent from the main control board 70, the CPU 83 recognizes the result of the role lottery in the current game and the gaming state at the time of the character lottery based on the lottery result command, and the recognized content Is temporarily stored in the RAM 82. At this time, the current gaming state is recognized based on the result of the combination lottery and the gaming state at the time of the combination drawing, and the recognized current gaming state is also temporarily stored in the RAM 82. In addition, every time a stop position command is sent from the main control board 70 to each spinning reel, the CPU 83 stops and displays the symbol (stop output) on the spinning reel in the display window 12 based on the stop position command. ) Is temporarily stored in the RAM 82. Further, when a rotation rotation stop command is sent from the main control board 70, the CPU 83 determines which of the three rotation reels 11a, 11b, 11c stored in the RAM 82 is in the current game. It is determined whether or not the symbols constituting the role are aligned on the winning line. The determination result is temporarily stored in the RAM 82.

  The ROM 81 stores various data in addition to the program. For example, a plurality of top lamp effect pattern data for controlling the top lamp unit 41, a plurality of side lamp effect pattern data for controlling the side lamp units 42 and 43, and a bonus for controlling the bonus notification lamp 45a. The ROM 81 stores notification effect pattern data, a plurality of sound effect pattern data for controlling the speaker unit 50, and the like. In addition, the ROM 81 also stores information on the combination of symbols constituting the combination and a first list table for various combinations.

  The contents of effects that the CPU 83 causes the illumination display unit 40 and the speaker unit 50 to execute include a winning combination notification effect, a bonus notification effect, and the like. The winning combination notification effect is an effect for notifying the player that a winning combination has been won when the result of the current game is a predetermined winning combination, for example, a replay winning combination or a small winning combination.

  Now, the winning combination notification effect will be described in detail. When a rotation rotation stop command is sent from the main control board 70, the CPU 83 selects one of the replay combination and the small combination based on the stoppage of the three rotation reels 11a, 11b, 11c stored in the RAM 82. It is determined whether or not the symbols constituting any of the winning combinations are aligned on the winning line. When the CPU 83 determines that the symbols constituting any of the replay combination and the small combination are arranged on the winning line, the CPU 83 executes a winning combination notification effect for notifying the player that the winning combination has been won. This winning combination notification effect is mainly executed by the left side lamp unit 42, the right side lamp unit 43, and the speaker unit 50. Specifically, the CPU 83 acquires predetermined side lamp effect pattern data and predetermined sound effect pattern data corresponding to the winning of the combination from the ROM 81, and based on the acquired side lamp effect pattern data, the left side lamp The unit 42 and the right side lamp unit 44 are controlled, and the speaker unit 50 is controlled based on the acquired sound effect pattern data.

  The bonus notification effect is an effect for notifying the player that bonus winning is permitted when the current game state is in the bonus internal state. The precondition for performing this bonus notification effect is that the current gaming state is the bonus internal state. This is because if the bonus notification effect is performed when the gaming state is the general gaming state, a lie notification will be performed. Such bonus notification effect is executed by the bonus notification lamp 45a.

  This bonus notification effect will be described in detail. In the present embodiment, the execution conditions for the bonus notification effect are defined as follows. That is, when the current gaming state is the bonus internal state (the main control board 70 permits bonus winning), the CPU 83 selects a specific spinning reel among the three spinning reels 11a, 11b, and 11c. On the condition that the stop display of the reel (the left spinning reel 11a in this embodiment) shows a certainty, if the bonus notification lamp 45a has not yet performed the bonus notification effect at that time, the bonus notification lamp 45a Decide to control operation. Further, when the current gaming state is the bonus internal state, the CPU 83 is still performing the bonus notification effect at that time on the condition that the result of the game is a non-winning small role. If not, it is determined to control the operation of the bonus notification lamp 45a.

  Specifically, when the operation command indicating that the left stop button 19a is pressed is sent from the main control board 70 when the current gaming state is the bonus internal state, the CPU 83 is sent together with the operation command. Based on the contents of the stop position command of the left reel reel 11a and the first list table stored in the ROM 81, it is determined whether or not the stop display of the left reel reel 11a indicates the first one. If the CPU 83 determines that the stop indication of the left reel reel 11a shows a certainty, if the bonus notification lamp 45a has not yet performed the bonus notification effect at that time, it controls the operation of the bonus notification lamp 45a. The bonus notification lamp 45a is determined to execute the bonus notification effect. Then, the CPU 83 acquires bonus notification effect pattern data from the ROM 81 and controls the bonus notification lamp 45a based on the acquired bonus notification effect pattern data. In addition, when the current gaming state is the bonus internal state, the CPU 83 sends three spinning reels 11a, 11b, 11c stored in the RAM 82 when a spinning cylinder stop command is sent from the main control board 70. Whether or not the combination of symbols composing the small combination is aligned on the winning line is determined based on the stoppage. If the CPU 83 determines that the combination of symbols constituting the small role is not aligned on the winning line, the bonus notification lamp 45a controls the operation of the bonus notification lamp 45a if the bonus notification lamp 45a has not yet performed the bonus notification effect. The bonus notification lamp 45a is determined to execute the bonus notification effect. On the other hand, when the CPU 83 determines that the combination of symbols constituting the small role has been arranged on the winning line, if the bonus notification lamp 45a has not yet performed the bonus notification effect at that time, the bonus notification lamp 45a also in this game. Decide not to control the operation of

  As described above, in this embodiment, the bonus notification lamp 45a is operated on the condition that the stop display of the left-handed reel 11a shows a certain degree. The reason is as follows. That is, when the stop display of the left spinning reel 11a shows a certainty, the player can know that the gaming state is the bonus internal state. For this reason, regardless of whether or not a small role is won in the game, when the stop indication of the left reel reel 11a shows a certainty, the bonus notification lamp 45a immediately executes a bonus notification effect. As a result, the player can play the game while expecting the first appearance, and the unnaturalness that the bonus notification effect is not executed even though the first appearance is displayed is eliminated. It is what. The reason for operating the bonus notification lamp 45a on condition that the result of the game is a non-winning small role is as follows. In other words, if the player does not win a small role in the game, no medals will be paid out, so if the number of medals owned by the player becomes zero after the game, the player quits the game and sits down. Is likely to stand up. For this reason, the operation timing of the bonus notification lamp 45a is set at the time of non-winning of the small role so that the player does not stand up in such a case and loses the opportunity of bonus winning.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the CPU 83 still displays the bonus notification lamp 45a on the condition that the game result is a small role winning when the current gaming state is in the bonus internal state. If there is no performance, it is decided not to control the operation of the bonus notification lamp 45a in the game, and the execution of the bonus notification effect by the bonus notification lamp 45a is postponed after the next game. Under such conditions, the bonus notification lamp 45a is not activated in the game for the following reason. That is, when a small role is won in a game, a predetermined number of medals are paid out, so that the player can obtain the merit of acquiring medals, and the number of medals owned by the player after the game is zero. Never become. Normally, in such a situation, the player has a willingness to continue the game, and it is considered that he rarely leaves the game and stands. The same applies to the case where the stop display of the left reel reel 11a does not indicate a certain eye in the game. For this reason, even if the bonus notification lamp 45a is not operated in such a case, it does not cause a great disadvantage to the player. In addition, by not operating the bonus notification lamp 45a in such a case, the player can play the next game while having a sense of expectation for the first appearance and the execution of the bonus notification effect. There is also an advantage that it is possible to prevent a decrease in the above.

  By the way, just because a predetermined number of medals are paid out when winning a small role, the player does not always continue the game after winning the small role. However, in the present embodiment, the number of medals to be paid out at the time of winning a small role is set to be the same as or more than the number of medals required to play one game. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, in the two-ply game, fifteen medals are paid out regardless of which small combination is won. Also, in the three-ply game, two medals are paid out when winning the cherry small role, five medals are paid out when winning the watermelon small role, and 10 when winning the bell small role. A medal is paid out. Thus, for example, if a player wins one of the small roles in a two-player game, the player can then play the three-player game five times. Then, the player can then play the two-sheet game only once. In this way, in this embodiment, if a player wins a small role, the player can always acquire a medal number that can be played at least once, so that the current game state is inside the bonus. If the game is in the state and the stop display of the left reel reel 11a does not show a certainty and the result of the current game is a small role winning, the player subsequently activates the bonus notification lamp 45a. It is possible to increase the possibility of continuing the game until it is done.

  In the present embodiment, the CPU 83 controls whether or not the bonus notification lamp 45a is operated by effect lottery using the bonus notification effect lottery table, separately from controlling the operation of the bonus notification lamp 45a when the above-described conditions are satisfied. Is determined. This bonus notification effect lottery table is stored in the ROM 81. FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining the bonus notification effect lottery table. In the bonus notification effect lottery table, as shown in FIG. 5, the presence / absence of execution of the bonus notification effect and the lottery probability for determining the execution timing are determined according to the result of the role lottery and the game state (bonus of the bonus). Whether or not winnings are permitted). In the example of FIG. 5, the presence / absence of execution of the bonus notification effect and the execution timing (effect content) are “no bonus notification”, “bonus notification when the start lever is pressed”, “bonus notification when the left stop button is pressed”, “ “Bonus notification when the center stop button is pressed” and “Bonus notification when the right stop button is pressed” are defined. Each numerical value described in the bonus notification effect lottery table represents the lottery probability, and a value obtained by dividing each numerical value by 65536 is the actual lottery probability. The CPU 83 performs a lottery using a predetermined lottery probability in the bonus notification effect lottery table and determines whether or not to perform the bonus notification effect. If the bonus notification effect is performed, the bonus notification effect is displayed in the current game. Decide when to do it.

  Specifically, in the bonus notification effect lottery table shown in FIG. 5, the result lottery result in the general gaming state is “unfair”, “cherry small role”, “bell small role”, “watermelon small role” or “replay role”. , The lottery probability for “no bonus notification” is set to 1. Therefore, in these cases, “no bonus notification” is always selected, and the bonus notification effect is not executed in the game. This is because the bonus is not won in the role lottery and the gaming state is not the bonus internal state. In addition, when the result lottery result in the general gaming state is “Replay Role and CT” or “Replay Role and BB”, when the role lottery result in the bonus internal state is “Replay Role”, “no bonus notification” Is set to 1. Therefore, in these cases, the bonus notification effect is not executed in the game. As described above, the result of the current game is always a replay winning combination and not a bonus winning, so that it is not appropriate to perform a bonus notification effect in such a case.

  On the other hand, when the result lottery result in the general gaming state is “CT”, “BB”, or “Cherry small role and BB”, the role lottery result in the bonus internal medium state is “unfair”, “Cherry small character”, “ In the case of “Bell Small” and “Watermelon Small”, the lottery probability for “No Bonus Notification” is zero, “Bonus Notification when the start lever is pressed”, “Bonus Notification when the left stop button is pressed”, “Central Stop” The lottery probabilities for the “bonus notice when the button is pressed” and the “bonus notice when the right stop button is pressed” are each set to a predetermined non-zero value. Therefore, in these cases, a bonus notification effect is performed when any one of the start lever 18 and the three stop buttons 19a, 19b, and 19c is performed in the game. In fact, “Bonus announcement when the start lever is pressed” has a probability of 5000/65536, “Bonus announcement when the left stop button is pressed” has a probability of 5000/65536, and “Bonus announcement when the center stop button is pressed” has a probability of 5000/65536. Then, “bonus notice when right stop button is pressed” is selected with a probability of 50536/65536. As described above, in this embodiment, the lottery probability for selecting “bonus notice when the right stop button is pressed” is set to be much larger than the lottery probability for selecting another. In addition, “Bonus announcement when left stop button is pressed”, “Bonus notification when center stop button is pressed”, and “Bonus notification when right stop button is pressed” in FIG. 5 are “Bonus when the first stop button is pressed”, respectively. It may be replaced with “notification”, “bonus notification when the second stop button is pressed”, or “bonus notification when the third stop button is pressed”.

  Specifically, when a lottery result command is sent from the main control board 70, the CPU 83 recognizes the result of the winning lottery in the current game and the gaming state at the time of the winning lottery based on the lottery result command. Then, the CPU 83 performs a lottery using the recognized lottery result and the lottery probability for the gaming state at the time of the lottery in the bonus notification effect lottery table stored in the ROM 81, The execution timing is determined. Here, the determined contents are temporarily stored in the RAM 82. When the execution of the bonus notification effect is determined, the CPU 83 obtains the bonus notification effect pattern data from the ROM 81 when an operation command having the same content as the execution timing is sent from the main control board 70. The bonus notification lamp 45a is controlled based on the acquired bonus notification effect pattern data.

  Next, the procedure of the process performed by the main control board 70 in the spinning cylinder game machine of this embodiment will be described. FIG. 6 is a flowchart for explaining a procedure of processing performed by the main control board 70.

  First, the CPU 74 of the main control board 70 performs a medal insertion operation waiting process (S1). That is, the CPU 74 waits for a detection signal from the inserted medal detection sensor 61, the MAX bet button operation detection sensor 62, or the one-sheet insertion button operation detection sensor 63. When the CPU 74 receives the detection signal and recognizes that two or three medals have been inserted, the CPU 74 indicates that a predetermined number of medals have been inserted from the medal insertion slot 13, or the MAX bet button 15 or the single insertion button. An operation command indicating that 16 has been pressed a predetermined number of times is created and transmitted to the effect control board 80.

  Next, the CPU 74 performs a start lever pressing waiting process (S2). That is, the CPU 74 waits for a detection signal sent from the start lever operation detection sensor 64. When the CPU 74 receives a signal from any one of the inserted medal detection sensor 61, the MAX bet button operation detection sensor 62, and the one-sheet insertion button operation detection sensor 63, if the CPU 74 receives a signal from the start lever operation detection sensor 64, Recognizes that has started. Then, the CPU 74 creates an operation command indicating that the start lever 18 has been pressed, and transmits it to the effect control board 80.

  When the game is thus started, the CPU 74 performs a role lottery process based on the random number value (S3). That is, the random number generation means 71 of the main control board 70 acquires a random value at the timing when the signal from the start lever operation detection sensor 64 is received, and sends the acquired random value to the CPU 74. The CPU 74 specifies a predetermined combination lottery table based on the number of medals inserted in the current game and the current gaming state, and then based on the specified combination lottery table, the acquired random number value indicates which combination By determining whether it corresponds to, it is determined which role has been won or not. In addition, when the current gaming state is the general gaming state, the winning combination determined in the combination lottery process is “BB”, “CT”, “Cherry small combination and BB”, “Replay combination and BB” or “Replay combination” And “CT”, the CPU 74 shifts the current gaming state from the general gaming state to the BB internal state or the CT internal state.

  Thereafter, the CPU 74 creates a winning number command based on the result determined by the winning lottery process in step S3, and creates a gaming state command based on the gaming state at the time of the winning lottery (S4). That is, here, even if the gaming state is shifted based on the result of the combination lottery, a gaming state command indicating the gaming state before the transition is created. Then, the CPU 74 transmits the created winning number command and gaming state command to the effect control board 80 as a lottery result command.

  Next, the CPU 74 waits for 4.1 seconds after receiving a signal from the previous start lever operation detection sensor 64 (S5). After 4.1 seconds, the CPU 74 controls the spinning reel drive means 66a, 66b, 66c to rotate the three spinning reels 11a, 11b, 11c (S6).

  Next, the CPU 74 performs a stop process for the three reel reels 11a, 11b, and 11c (S7). That is, when the CPU 74 receives a signal from the left stop button operation detection sensor 65a, the CPU 74 controls the left rotating reel drive means 66a according to a predetermined stop control table of the left rotating reel 11a to thereby control the left rotating reel 11a. Stop. Then, an operation command indicating that the left stop button 19 a has been pressed and a stop position command indicating the stop position of the left spinning reel 11 a are created and transmitted to the effect control board 80. Further, when the CPU 74 receives a signal from the central stop button operation detection sensor 65b, the CPU 74 controls the central spinning reel driving means 66b according to a predetermined stop control table of the central spinning reel 11b to thereby control the central spinning reel 11b. Stop. Then, an operation command indicating that the center stop button 19 b has been pressed and a stop position command indicating the stop position of the center spinning reel 11 b are created and transmitted to the effect control board 80. Further, when receiving a signal from the right stop button operation detection sensor 65c, the CPU 74 controls the right spinning reel drive means 66c according to a predetermined stop control table of the right spinning reel 11c to thereby control the right spinning reel 11c. Stop. Then, an operation command indicating that the right stop button 19c has been pressed and a stop position command indicating the stop position of the right spinning reel 11c are created and transmitted to the effect control board 80.

  Thus, when all of the three spinning reels 11a, 11b, and 11c are stopped, the CPU 74 creates a spinning rotation stop command indicating that all of the three spinning reels 11a, 11b, and 11c have stopped rotating, and effects control is performed. Output to the substrate 80. Further, the CPU 74 determines whether or not a predetermined combination of symbols is aligned on the winning line based on the symbols stopped and displayed on the three reel reels 11a, 11b, and 11c, that is, the result of the current game is predetermined. A winning determination process for determining whether or not a winning combination is made is performed (S8). For example, if it is determined that the result of the current game is a winning of a predetermined small role, the CPU 74 determines the number of medals to be paid out for the winning of the small role, and pays out the determined number of medals (S9). Thus, the processing flow shown in FIG. 6 is completed. Thereafter, the CPU 74 starts the process again from step S1.

  Next, the procedure of the process performed by the effect control board 80 in the rotating type gaming machine of the present embodiment will be described. 7 and 8 are flowcharts for explaining the procedure of the process performed by the effect control board 80. FIG.

  First, the CPU 83 of the effect control board 80 performs a command waiting process (S11). The main control board 70 sends various types of commands to the effect control board 80. In this command waiting process, the CPU 83 waits for a command to be sent from the main control board 70. When receiving the command, the CPU 83 first determines whether or not the received command is a lottery result command (S12). If the command is not a lottery result command, the CPU 83 determines whether the command is an operation command (S15). If the command is not an operation command, the CPU 83 determines whether the command is a stop position command (S23). Further, if the command is not a stop position command, the CPU 83 determines whether or not the command is a rotation rotation stop command (S25). If the command is not a spinning cylinder rotation stop command, the CPU 83 performs a predetermined process according to the type of the command (S33). Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S11.

  When determining in step S12 that the command sent from the main control board 70 is a lottery result command, the CPU 83 recognizes the result of the role lottery and the gaming state at the time of the role lottery based on the lottery result command, and stores them in the RAM 82. The current gaming state is recognized based on the result of the lottery and the gaming state at the time of the lottery, and the recognized current gaming state is temporarily stored in the RAM 82. Then, the CPU 83 determines whether or not a bonus notification effect has already been performed (S13). If the bonus notification effect has already been performed, the process proceeds to step S11. On the other hand, when determining that the bonus notification effect is not performed, the CPU 83 performs an effect lottery process (S14). Specifically, in the bonus notification effect lottery table, the CPU 83 performs a lottery using the result of the current role lottery and the lottery probability for the gaming state at the time of the role lottery, and details of the bonus notification effect (whether the bonus notification effect is performed). No, if a bonus notification effect is to be performed, it is determined at which timing during the current game the bonus notification effect is to be performed). The content of the determined bonus notification effect is temporarily stored in the RAM 82. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S11.

  When determining in step S15 that the command sent from the main control board 70 is an operation command, the CPU 83 temporarily stores the contents of the operation command in the RAM 82. Then, the CPU 83 determines whether or not a bonus notification effect has already been performed (S16). If the bonus notification effect has already been performed, the process proceeds to step S11. On the other hand, when determining that the bonus notification effect is not performed, the CPU 83 determines the content of the operation command (S17). That is, the operation command includes an operation command indicating that the start lever 18 is pressed, an operation command indicating that the left stop button 19a is pressed, an operation command indicating that the central stop button 19b is pressed, and a right stop button 19c. It is determined whether it is an operation command indicating that it has been pressed, an operation command indicating that a predetermined number of medals have been inserted from the medal insertion slot 13, or the like.

  Next, the CPU 83 determines whether or not the operation command is an operation command indicating that the left stop button 19a has been pressed based on the result of command content determination in step S17 (S18). If the operation command is not an operation command indicating that the left stop button 19a has been pressed, the process proceeds to step S22. On the other hand, if it is determined that the operation command is an operation command indicating that the left stop button 19a has been pressed, the CPU 83 determines that the current gaming state is a bonus based on information on the current gaming state stored in the RAM 82. It is determined whether the internal state is present (S19). If the current gaming state is not the bonus internal state, the process proceeds to step S22. On the other hand, when determining that the current gaming state is the bonus internal medium state, the CPU 83 determines the left side based on the contents of the stop position command sent together with the operation command and the first list stored in the ROM 81. It is determined whether or not the stop display of the spinning reel 11a shows a certain degree (S20). If the stop display of the left reel reel 11a does not indicate a certainty, the process proceeds to step S22.

  If it is determined in the processing of step S20 that the stop display of the left spinning reel 11a shows a certainty, the CPU 83 determines to perform a bonus notification effect. Then, the bonus notification lamp 45a is controlled to cause the bonus notification lamp 45a to perform a bonus notification effect (S21). Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S11.

  In step S22, the CPU 83 performs an effect process. Specifically, when the content of the bonus notification effect stored in the RAM 82 indicates execution of the bonus notification effect at the time of a predetermined operation, the CPU 83 determines that the execution timing matches the content of the operation command. For example, the bonus notification lamp 45a is controlled to cause the bonus notification lamp 45a to perform a bonus notification effect. On the other hand, if the execution timing does not coincide with the content of the operation command, the bonus notification lamp 45a is not controlled. Further, when the content of the bonus notification effect stored in the RAM 82 indicates non-execution of the bonus notification effect, the CPU 83 naturally does not control the bonus notification lamp 45a. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S11.

  If it is determined in step S23 that the command sent from the main control board 70 is a stop position command, the CPU 83 stops the display of the spinning reel in the display window 12 based on the stop position command (stop). The result is recognized and temporarily stored in the RAM 82 (S24). Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S11.

  If it is determined in step S25 that the command sent from the main control board 70 is a turning rotation stop command, the CPU 83 determines whether or not a bonus notification effect has already been performed (S26). If the bonus notification effect has already been performed, the process proceeds to step S11. On the other hand, when determining that the bonus notification effect is not performed, the CPU 83 determines whether or not the current gaming state is the bonus internal state based on the information regarding the current gaming state stored in the RAM 82 ( S27). If it is determined that the current gaming state is not in the bonus internal state, the CPU 83 determines that the result of the current game is a replay role or a small role based on the stoppage of each of the spinning reels 11a, 11b, 11c stored in the RAM 82. It is determined whether or not the winning is (S28). If the result of the current game is not a winning combination of either the replay role or the small role, the process proceeds to step S11. On the other hand, if it is determined that the result of the current game is a replay role or small role winning, the CPU 83 controls the left side lamp unit 42, the right side lamp unit 43, and the speaker unit 50, and the side lamp units 42, 43. In addition, the speaker unit 50 is caused to perform a winning combination notification effect informing the player that the winning combination has been won (S29). Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S11.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S27 that the current gaming state is the bonus internal state, the CPU 83 determines whether or not the current reel state 11a, 11b, 11c stored in the RAM 82 is stopped. It is determined whether or not the game result is a small role winning (S30). If it is determined that the result of the current game is a small role winning, the CPU 83 determines not to perform a bonus notification effect (S31). Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S11. On the other hand, when determining that the result of the current game is not a prize for a small role, the CPU 83 determines to perform a bonus notification effect. Then, the bonus notification lamp 45a is controlled to cause the bonus notification lamp 45a to perform a bonus notification effect (S32). Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S11.

  In the spinning type gaming machine of the present embodiment, the CPU of the production control board, on the condition that the stop display of the left side spinning reel showed a certainty when the current gaming state is the bonus internal state, If the bonus notification lamp has not yet performed the bonus notification effect at that time, the operation of the bonus notification lamp is controlled, and if the current gaming state is the bonus internal medium state, the result of the game is a non-winning of the small role. On the condition that the bonus notification lamp has not yet performed the bonus notification effect at that time, the operation of the bonus notification lamp is controlled. As a result, regardless of whether or not the small role is won in the game, if the stop indication of the left spinning reel shows a certainty, the bonus notification lamp executes the bonus notification effect at that time, so the player The game can be performed while expecting the first appearance, and the unnaturalness that the bonus notification effect is not executed even though the first appearance is displayed can be solved. Also, if the game is in the bonus internal state and the game result is a non-winning bonus, there will be no payout of medals, so if the number of medals owned by the player after the game is zero If so, the player may quit the game and stand up. In the present embodiment, when the current gaming state is the bonus internal state, the bonus notification lamp is displayed when the left reel reel stop display does not show a certainty and the game result is a non-winning small role. Can execute the bonus notification effect and inform the player that the bonus winning is permitted, so that it is possible to prevent the player from losing the opportunity for the bonus winning. Therefore, in this embodiment, a bonus notification effect can be executed at an optimal timing.

  In addition, the CPU of the production control board, on the condition that the game result is a small role winning when the current gaming state is in the bonus internal state, the bonus announcement lamp still performs the bonus announcement production at that time. If not, the bonus notification lamp is not activated even in the game. When a small role is won in a game, a predetermined number of medals are paid out, so that the player can obtain the merit of acquiring medals and the number of medals owned by the player after the game becomes zero. There is nothing. Normally, in such a situation, the player has a willingness to continue the game, and it is considered that he rarely leaves the game and stands. The same applies to the case where the stop display of the left reel reel does not indicate a certain amount in the game. For this reason, in the present embodiment, when the current gaming state is the bonus internal medium state, when the game result is a small role winning without the left spinning reel showing a certainty, a bonus announcement is made in the game. Although it is decided not to execute the bonus notification effect on the ramp, this does not give a major disadvantage to the player, and the player has a sense of expectation for the first appearance and execution of the bonus notification effect. Since the next game can be performed, the playability is not lowered.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to said embodiment, A various deformation | transformation is possible within the range of the summary.

  For example, in the above embodiment, when the content of the stop control table is set so that when the left spinning reel stops first, the stop indication of the left spinning reel may show a certainty. As described above, regardless of how many times the left reel reel stops, the left reel reel stop indicator can only appear in games where the game state is in the bonus internal medium state. The contents of the stop control table may be set so that there is a possibility of showing eyes.

  In the above-described embodiment, a case has been described in which only one positive is defined for the stop display of the left reel reel. However, a plurality of single positives may be defined. For example, two firsts can be defined for the left reel reel stop indication. Specifically, for the left spinning reel, when the red symbol of symbol number “2”, the bell symbol of symbol number “3”, and the blank symbol of symbol number “4” are stopped and displayed in the display window The outcome, and the stop symbol when the bell symbol of symbol number “18”, the red symbol of symbol number “19”, and the bell symbol of symbol number “20” are stopped and displayed in the display window, respectively. It can be defined as a positive eye.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the case where the content of the stop control table is set so that only the stop indication of the left-handed reel is likely to show a certain one has been explained, but the gaming state is in the bonus internal state The contents of the stop control table of each spinning reel when none of the spinning reels are stopped may be set so that the stop indication of the spinning reel may show a certainty. Good. In other words, one or a plurality of positives are defined only for the stop indication of the center rotation reel or the right rotation reel instead of the stop indication of the left rotation reel, or for each rotation reel For example, one or more certain points may be defined for the stop display. For example, define two firsts for the left spinning reel stop indication, define one first for the central spinning reel stop indication, and stop the right spinning reel A single eye can be defined for the display. Specifically, for the left reel reel, a red symbol of symbol number “2”, a bell symbol of symbol number “3”, and a blank symbol of symbol number “4” are stopped and displayed in the display window. Stop event, stop symbol when symbol number “18” bell symbol, symbol number “19” red symbol number 7, symbol number “20” bell symbol is stopped and displayed in the display window, respectively As for the central reel, the cherry symbol with symbol number “1”, the red symbol with symbol number “2”, and the replay symbol with symbol number “3” are stopped and displayed in the display window. The right turn reel is defined as a red 7 symbol, symbol number “3” bar symbol, symbol number “4” bell. When the symbol is stopped and displayed in the display window, It can be defined Te.

  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the CPU of the production control board has been described with respect to the case where the bonus notification lamp is activated on the condition that the stop indication of the specific spinning reel shows a certain degree. The CPU of the production control board may activate the bonus notification lamp on the condition that the stop indication of the specific spinning reel shows not only the first but also the so-called second. Good. Here, the second accuracy is a specific combination of stop indications of two specific spinning reels (for example, the left spinning reel and the central spinning reel) among the three spinning reels, and the gaming state is This is a specific stop event that can appear only in a game during the bonus internal medium state. For example, as a second example, the left spinning reel is located at the upper, middle, and lower positions in the display window, the replay symbol with symbol number “0”, the watermelon symbol with symbol number “1”, and the symbol number, respectively. The red symbol “3” is displayed in a stopped state, and the central spinning reel has a bell symbol “4” and a symbol number “5” at the upper, middle and lower positions in the display window, respectively. The combination of the stop display of these two spinning reels when the cherry symbol of FIG. 7 and the red 7 symbol of the symbol number “6” are stopped and displayed.

  As described above, in the case of a spinning-reel game machine according to the present invention, when the game control means permits winning of a major player, the effect control means stops a specific symbol display means among a plurality of symbol display means. On the condition that the display shows a specific stoppage that can appear in the game during the period from when the major player is decided until winning the major player, the major actor notification means is still the major actor notification means If the performance is not performed, the control of the big role notification means is controlled, and when the game control means allows the big role winning, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role is displayed by the stop display of the plural symbol display means. On the condition that it is not shown, if the big role notification means has not yet performed the big role notification production at that time, the operation of the big role notification means is controlled. Thereby, regardless of whether or not to win a small role in the game, if the stop display of the specific symbol display means shows a specific stop appearance, the big role notification means will execute the big role notification effect at that time, The player can play a game while expecting the appearance of a specific stop event, and can eliminate the unnaturalness that the big role announcement effect is not executed even though the specific stop event is displayed. . In addition, when the game control means permits the winning of the major role, if the game result is a non-winning role of the minor role, there is no payout of the gaming medium, so that the gaming medium owned by the player after the game If the number of players becomes zero, the player may quit the game and stand. In the present invention, when the game control means permits the winning of the major role, when the stop display of the specific symbol display means does not show a specific stop outcome, the game result is a non-winning of the small role, Since the big actor notifying means can execute the big executive announcement effect and inform the player that the winning of the big actor is permitted, it is possible to prevent the player from losing the opportunity to win the big actor. As described above, in the present invention, it is possible to execute the big role announcement effect at the optimum timing. Therefore, the present invention can be applied to a spinning-type game machine that produces various games according to the game situation.
