Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a slot machine which by no means increases burden on the stop operation by players despite an increase in the types of symbols. <P>SOLUTION: The symbols making up minor combination prizes B1-B3 such as symbols of "red 7", "blue 7" and "black bar" are arrayed being separated at an equal interval at the cycle of seven frames each and those making up minor combination prizes C1-C3 such as symbols of "red cherry", "blue cherry" and "black cherry" are arrayed being separated at an equal interval at the cycle of seven frames each. The symbols of "red 7" and "red cherry", "blue 7" and "blue cherry" and "black bar" and "black cherry" are arrayed respectively at positions separated the most from each other. When the minor combination prizes C1-C3 are already won by the internal lottery, this enables players to avoid the winning of prizes by controlling a reel stop button aimed at the symbol of "red 7", "blue 7" or "black bar" or the like. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT

Description

The present invention relates to a slot machine.

The slot machine is equipped with multiple reels with multiple symbols, the game starts when the player's medal is inserted, the multiple reels rotate all at once by operating the start lever, and the player's reel stop button is operated. The reels stop sequentially based on the above. Then, after all the reels are stopped, when a combination of symbols for winning is arranged on the winning line, the winning is made, and a game for giving a player a game value corresponding to the prize is executed. In the slot machine, a plurality of prizes are set, and a combination of symbols corresponding to each prize and a game value to be given by winning are determined. The multiple awards include a small role award that can win a predetermined number of medals as a game value given when winning a prize, a start prize that can start a special game as a game value given when winning a prize, etc. is there. In a special game that is started by winning the start prize, a large number of medals can be obtained in a short time.

In the slot machine, a lottery is executed with a plurality of prizes or loses as lotteries at the start lever operation timing, and lottery information indicating the lottery result is generated. When the timing of the player's operation of the reel stop button is appropriate, the lottery information is controlled so that combinations of symbols corresponding to a prize indicating winning are aligned on the winning line. Regardless of the timing of the player's operation of the reel stop button, control is performed so that combinations of symbols corresponding to a prize that does not indicate winning in the lottery information are not aligned on the winning line. For the reel stop control, a stop table associated with each of a plurality of prizes is generally used. In the stop table, the symbol number assigned to each symbol of the reel and the stop position of the reel are stored in association with each other. In the stop control, the symbol number at the timing of the operation of the reel stop button is acquired, and the reel is stopped at the stop position corresponding to the acquired symbol number.

If the lottery information indicates winning of any award, the winning combination will be awarded if the winning symbol combination is aligned on the winning line according to the timing of the player's reel stop button operation. If you don't get it, you won't win. The fact that the symbol combinations corresponding to the winning prizes are not complete and cannot be won is called “missing”.

Of the plurality of prizes, the winning prize having a game value given when winning is larger than the small role prize has a low winning probability in the lottery. The player is playing a game with the expectation that a large number of medals can be obtained in a special game that is won by winning the start prize. Therefore, even if you win the start prize in the lottery, if the player's timing of the reel stop button operation is not appropriate and you lose the opportunity to win, a game with high stop operation skills Difference in the number of medals obtained between the player and the player with low skill. Therefore, the start prize won in the lottery holds the start prize until the game is won after that game, and continues to give an opportunity to win the start prize. Such a game that keeps winning the start prize is called a “carryover game”.

In this carryover game, a lottery is performed with the start prize excluded as a lottery target. Therefore, the lottery information in the carryover game is the combination of the result of the lottery performed in that game and the winner of the carryover start prize. In the carryover game, the two prizes of the carryover prize and the small part award are won at the same time. It may be in a state of being. In this way, in a game in which two prizes are won at the same time, stop control is performed with priority given to a prize having a large gaming value so as not to be disadvantageous to the player. As described above, in the game in which the two prizes of the start prize and the small role prize are won at the same time, stop control is performed with priority given to the start prize over the small role prize.

In stop control for stopping a reel based on a player's operation of a reel stop button, stop control by a table method is known. In this table type stop control, stop data indicating which symbol number is to be displayed corresponding to the symbol numbers (1 to 21) associated with the 21 symbol positions arranged on one reel. The reel stop control is performed using a stop table associated in advance. That is, this is control for acquiring the symbol number (1 to 21) at the timing of the player's operation of the reel stop button and determining the symbol to be stopped with reference to the stop data corresponding to the acquired symbol number. This stop table is provided corresponding to each of a plurality of prizes or loses and each of a plurality of reels, stored in advance in a storage device such as a ROM, and appropriately selected based on lottery information and used for stop control.

Furthermore, stop control by a control method is known as a method different from the table-type stop control. The stop control of this control method searches for a symbol constituting a combination of symbols to win a prize based on the lottery information within a range from the timing when the stop operation is detected to the symbol number obtained by rotating four frames. The symbol is stopped at a stop display position (upper display position, middle display position, or lower display position) where there is a possibility of winning.

In Patent Document 1, after the end of the BB game (special game) among the special games, a replay high probability winning game (RT game) having a higher probability of winning the replay prize than that of the normal game is started. A technique for generating a small combination notification state for notifying a winning small combination award as the RT game starts is disclosed. According to this technology, by improving the probability of occurrence of the re-game prize, it is possible to play a plurality of games while minimizing the number of medals consumed by the player, and by notifying the winning small role prize Depending on the skill of the player, the player can increase the medal. As a result, the interest of the game can be improved by increasing the number of medals that can be acquired by the player according to the skill of the player while preventing a decrease in medals owned by the player during the game.

JP 2002-11152 A

By the way, in the slot machine described in Patent Document 1, the end of the RT game and the small role notification state is the elapse of a predetermined number of games, the acquisition of a predetermined net increase number, and the winning of the next special game start prize. In this way, slot machines have special games and small role notification states that can acquire many medals in a short period of time, improving the taste of gaming, but on the other hand, in order to balance the supply and consumption of gaming value, The ability to maintain the payout rate or payout rate is required.

However, in the conventional slot machine, if the winning of the next special game start prize is not yet achieved, the lapse of a predetermined number of games and the acquisition of a predetermined net increase number are the end conditions for the RT game and the small role notification state. Therefore, it must be said that it is awakened because it is obvious that it has been adjusted in advance to a predetermined payout rate or payout rate.

In addition, while satisfying a predetermined payout rate or payout rate, in order to improve the taste of the game, the number of types of symbols and symbol combinations (role) that the player aims to increase, A slot machine that increases the game value that a player can acquire depending on the skill of the stop operation is also conceivable, but for a player who is poor in the skill of the stop operation simply by increasing the types of symbols and symbol combinations (role) Even if the type of the selected small role award is notified, it is difficult to identify these various symbols on the reel that is variably displayed by rotation, and the game preference is reduced on the contrary.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and does not increase the burden of the player's stop operation even if the number of types of symbols increases while providing a new game that improves the taste of the game. Is a solution issue.

The present invention will be described below. In order to facilitate understanding of the present invention, reference numerals in the accompanying drawings are appended in parentheses, but the present invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiment.

In order to solve the above-described problems, the slot machine according to the present invention has a plurality of frames in which a plurality of types of symbols are arranged, each of which can be variably displayed in a certain direction, and a specific display row A plurality of display columns (R1 to R3) including (R1), a start operation means (12) for a player to input an instruction to start variable display of the plurality of display columns (R1 to R3); A plurality of stop operation means (13a to 13c) provided corresponding to each of the plurality of display rows (R1 to R3) for allowing the player to input an instruction to stop the variable display, and a plurality of prizes and loses. The lottery means (101, TBL1) for generating lottery information indicating the lottery result and one stop operation means among the plurality of stop operation means (13a to 13c) are operated. And the one stop operation Stop control means (101, TBL2, TBL3, TBL5) for stopping the display row corresponding to the stage by moving within the range of the number of frames drawn from the position at the operation timing of the one stop operation means, The multiple types of symbols include multiple types of single small role symbols (for example, “red cherry” symbol, “blue cherry” symbol, “black cherry” symbol of the embodiment), and multiple types of specific small role symbols (for example, The “red 7” symbol, “blue 7” symbol, “black bar” symbol) of the embodiment are included, and a plurality of stop display positions for stopping the symbols are set in each of the plurality of display columns (R1 to R3). A plurality of pay lines (L1 to L5) each consisting of a set of stop display positions for stopping symbols are set in each of the plurality of display rows (R1 to R3), and according to the operation of the start operation means (12). The compound The display rows (R1 to R3) are variably displayed, and the variable display of the plurality of display rows (R1 to R3) is stopped. If it is a predetermined mode, the player wins one of the prizes and gives a predetermined game value in accordance with the winning prize, and the plurality of prizes are paid out game media as the given game value. In the slot machine (1) including a accompanying small role award and a re-game award that gives a condition for starting the next game without paying out the game medium as the gaming value to be given, The single small role symbol stops at any of the plurality of stop display positions of the specific display column (R1), and the specific display column (R1) is excluded from the plurality of display columns (R1 to R3). Of display columns (R2, R3) In the stop display position, there are a plurality of types of single small prizes that are awarded regardless of which symbol is stopped, depending on the type of the single small role symbols, and the plurality of stop displays in the specific display row (R1). The specific small role symbol stops at any of the positions, and a predetermined symbol is displayed at the stop display position of the other display row (R2, R3) on the winning line (L1 to L5) including the stop display position. There are a plurality of types of specific small role awards that are awarded when the game stops, and the stop operation means corresponding to the specific display row (R1) is designated as the specific stop operation means (13a). The specific display sequence (R1) includes the specific display sequence (R1) within the range of the number of frames to be drawn from the position of the specific display sequence (R1) at the timing when the specific stop operation means (13a) is operated. ) To stop In this case, the range of operation timing of the specific stop operation means (13a) capable of stopping a certain kind of single small role symbol at any of the plurality of stop display positions, and other types of single small symbols. The plurality of types of single small symbols are separated from each other so as not to overlap with the operation timing range of the specific stop operation means (13a) capable of stopping the role symbols at any of the plurality of stop display positions. The specific display row (R1) is moved within the range of the number of drawn frames from the position of the specific display row (R1) at the timing when the specific stop operation means (13a) is operated and stopped. In the case of a specific small role symbol of a certain type, the range of operation timing of the specific stop operation means (13a) capable of stopping at any one of the plurality of stop display positions, and others The plurality of types of specific small roles are selected so as not to overlap the operation timing range of the specific stop operation means (13a) capable of stopping the types of specific small roles in any of the plurality of stop display positions. The symbols are arranged apart from each other, and the specific display row (R1) is moved within the range of the number of drawn frames from the position of the specific display row (R1) at the timing when the specific stop operation means (13a) is operated. The single small role symbol and the specific small role symbol so that the single small role symbol and the specific small role symbol do not stop at any two of the plurality of stop display positions. The specific small role symbols are arranged apart from each other, and each of the plurality of types of single small role symbols is associated with one of the plurality of types of specific small role symbols, and the specific stop operation means (13a) When the specific display row (R1) is moved and stopped within the range of the number of drawn frames from the position of the specific display row (R1) at the operated timing, any one of the plurality of types of single small role symbols A range of operation timings of the specific stop operation means (13a) capable of stopping at any one of the plurality of stop display positions, and the specific small role symbol corresponding to the single small role symbol in the plurality of stops. The plurality of types of identification corresponding to each of the plurality of types of single small role symbols so as not to overlap with the operation timing range of the specific stop operation means (13a) that can be stopped at any of the display positions. Each of the small role symbols is arranged apart from each other, and the lottery means (101, TBL1) wins the re-game prize in the first state in which the probability of winning the re-game prize is a predetermined probability. In a game in which a lottery can be executed in a second state having a higher probability than the first state and a lottery is performed in the second state, any one of the plurality of stop display positions in the specific display row (R1) When any one of the multiple types of single small symbols stops, the lottery is executed in the first state from the next game, and the stop control means (101, TBL2, TBL3, TBL5) In the game in which the information indicates the winning of the specific small role award according to the type of the specific small role symbol, the specific stop operation means (13a) is operated first among the plurality of stop operation means (13a to 13c). The specific small combination corresponding to the specific small combination award won from any one of the plurality of stop display positions in the specific display row (R1) at the operation timing of the specific stop operation means (13a). If the pattern is within the range of the number of drawn frames, the specific display row (R1) is controlled so that the specific small role symbol is stopped at the stop display position, and the lottery information indicates the single small role symbol. When the specific stop operation means (13a) is first operated among the plurality of stop operation means (13a to 13c) in the game showing the winning of the single small prize according to the type, the specific stop operation means ( At the operation timing of 13a), the single small role symbol corresponding to the single small role prize won from any one of the plurality of stop display positions of the specific display row (R1) is within the range of the number of drawn frames. For example, the specific display row (R1) is controlled to stop the single small role symbol at the stop display position, and the single small character is selected from any of the plurality of stop display positions of the specific display row (R1). Role symbol If the specific small role symbol corresponding to is within the number of drawn frames, the specific display row (R1) is controlled so as not to stop the single small role symbol at the plurality of stop display positions. And

According to the present invention, when winning one of a plurality of independent small prizes, the lottery means finishes the second state in which the replay prize is drawn with a high probability, and draws the first game from the next game with a normal probability. Transition to the state. Each of the plurality of single small roles symbols is associated with one of a plurality of specific small roles symbols. As for the arrangement relation on the display row of the specific small role symbol associated with the single small role symbol, the range in which the specific small role symbol can be pulled into one of the multiple stop display positions overlaps the range in which the specific small role symbol can be pulled in It is set not to. Therefore, if it is possible to know which single small prize is won in the internal lottery in the second state, or in order to avoid winning the single small prize according to the single small prize predicted by the player The player may operate the specific stop operation means so that the specific small role symbol constituting the corresponding specific small role award is stopped at one of the stop display positions. By arranging a single small role symbol and a specific small role symbol in this way, the specific small role symbol is set as the target of the stop operation while the player's skill is involved in the transition from the second state to the first state. By this, it is possible to provide a slot machine that can avoid winning a single small role prize. The slot machine described above starts a single game by accepting a tangible or electrically or magnetically stored intangible game medium, and variably displays a plurality of display rows by operating the player's start operation means. In the state where the variable display of each display column is stopped by the operation of each stop operation means, and the variable display of the plurality of display columns is stopped, the symbol arrangement stopped on the winning line is in a predetermined manner. In some cases, one of the prizes is won, a predetermined game value is given according to the won prize, and the one game is finished. Here, a tangible game medium refers to a game medal or a game ball, and an intangible game medium refers to information that electrically or magnetically stores a tangible game medium that has been thrown in to play a game. More specifically, the slot machine includes a bet number specifying means (for example, a bet button) for specifying the bet number, and a payout means for paying out medals in accordance with a winning prize. The game is performed once after the number of bets is specified by operating, until the medal payout is executed by the payout means. The term “game” is a concept that includes both a single game and a plurality of consecutive games.

In the slot machine described above, in the game in which the lottery means (101, TBL1) executes the lottery in the second state, the lottery information indicates one of the plurality of types of specific small prizes. The type is notified in a predetermined notification mode, and when the lottery information indicates any one of the plurality of types of single small prizes, multiple types of winning the single small prize It is preferable to provide notifying means for notifying in a notification manner common to the single small prize. In this case, since the player can know the type of the specified small role award won in the internal lottery, the player increases the game medium by aiming at the specific small role symbol constituting the specific small role award. It becomes possible. On the other hand, when one of a plurality of kinds of single small prizes is won by internal lottery, a common notification mode is set, so that the player may change the second state depending on the operation timing of the specific stop operation means in the game. Although it is possible to recognize that it is possible to continue, it is impossible to know which symbol should be operated to operate the specific stop operation means. For this reason, the player operates the specific stop operation means depending on intuition. Thereby, it is possible to inform the player of an important game that affects the increase of the game medium, and it is possible to entrust the probability as to whether or not the second state continues.

Further, in the above-described slot machine, in the game in which the lottery means (101, TBL1) executes the lottery in the second state, the lottery information includes the plurality of types of single small roles awards and the plurality of types of specific small roles awards. It is preferable to provide notifying means for notifying each of the types in a predetermined notification mode when one of them is shown. In this case, if the player wins any of the single small prizes in the second state, the player can play the type of the single small prize that has been won, so that the player can continue the second state. The specific stop operation means can be operated aiming at the specific small role symbol corresponding to the single small role symbol constituting the selected single small role award.

Further, in order to solve the above-described problems, the slot machine according to the present invention has a plurality of frames in which a plurality of types of symbols are arranged, and can be variably displayed in a certain direction. A plurality of display columns (R1 to R3) including a display column (R1), and a start operation means (12) for a player to input an instruction to start variable display of the plurality of display columns (R1 to R3); A plurality of stop operation means (13a to 13c) provided corresponding to each of the plurality of display rows (R1 to R3) and used by the player to input an instruction to stop the variable display; In addition, the lottery means (101, TBL1) that executes the lottery for the lottery and generates the lottery information indicating the lottery result, and one stop operation means among the plurality of stop operation means (13a to 13c) are operated. The one stop Stop control means (101, TBL2, TBL3, TBL5) for stopping the display row corresponding to the operation means by moving within the range of the number of frames drawn from the position at the operation timing of the one stop operation means, and the lottery When the information indicates winning of any of the plurality of prizes, a notification setting means (191) for setting whether or not to notify the type of the winning prize, or a notification frequency is notified by the notification setting means. Then, when set, it is provided with notifying means (191, 197, 30) for notifying the player of the type of the winning prize, and the plurality of types of symbols include a plurality of types of single small role symbols (for example, The “red cherry” symbol, “blue cherry” symbol, “black cherry” symbol) of the embodiment, and a plurality of specific small role symbols (for example, “red 7” symbol, “blue 7” symbol of the embodiment, A plurality of stop display positions for stopping the symbols are set in each of the plurality of display columns (R1 to R3), and each of the plurality of display columns (R1 to R3) is configured with a symbol. A plurality of pay lines (L1 to L5) consisting of a set of stop display positions for stopping the display, and variably displaying the plurality of display rows (R1 to R3) according to the operation of the start operation means (12), When a variable display of the plurality of display rows (R1 to R3) is stopped and any of the plurality of winning lines (L1 to L5) is in a predetermined form, a prize is won. In addition, a predetermined game value is given according to a prize that is won, and the plurality of prizes are given as a small role prize accompanied by paying out game media as the game value to be given, and the game value to be given Without paying out the game media In the slot machine (1) including a replay award that gives a condition for starting the next game, the small role award is displayed at any one of the plurality of stop display positions in the specific display row (R1). The single small role symbol stops, and any symbol stops at the stop display position of the other display columns (R2, R3) except the specific display column (R1) among the plurality of display columns (R1 to R3). Even if there are a plurality of types of the single small role award that is a prize, depending on the type of the single small role symbol, the specific small role symbol is located at any one of the plurality of stop display positions in the specific display row (R1). Is stopped, and when a predetermined symbol stops at the stop display position of the other display row (R2, R3) on the winning line (L1 to L5) including the stop display position, a specific small part award that becomes a prize is obtained. , Multiple types depending on the type of the specified small role symbol Thus, when the stop operation means corresponding to the specific display row (R1) is the specific stop operation means (13a), the specific stop operation means (13a) is operated in the specific display row (R1). When the specific display row (R1) is moved and stopped within the range of the number of drawn frames from the position of the specific display row (R1) at the timing, a kind of single small role symbol is displayed in the plurality of stop displays. The operation timing range of the specific stop operation means (13a) that can be stopped at any of the positions, and other kinds of single small symbols can be stopped at any of the plurality of stop display positions. In order not to overlap the operation timing range of the specific stop operation means (13a), the plurality of types of single small role symbols are arranged apart from each other, and the specific stop operation means (13a) When the specific display row (R1) is moved and stopped within the range of the number of drawn frames from the position of the specific display row (R1) at the operated timing, the plural kinds of specific small role symbols are displayed. A range of operation timings of the specific stop operation means (13a) that can be stopped at any one of the stop display positions and other types of specific small role symbols are stopped at any of the plurality of stop display positions. The specific stop operating means (13a) is arranged so as to be separated from each other so that the operation timing range of the specific stop operating means (13a) that can be operated is not overlapped. When the specific display row (R1) is moved and stopped within the range of the number of drawn frames from the position of the specific display row (R1) at the determined timing, The plurality of types of single small role symbols and the plurality of types of specific small role symbols are spaced apart so that the symbols and the specific small role symbols do not stop at any two of the plurality of stop display positions, Each of the plurality of types of single small roles symbols is associated with one of the plurality of types of specific small roles symbols, and the specific display row (R1) at the timing when the specific stop operation means (13a) is operated. When the specific display row (R1) is moved and stopped within the range of the number of drawn frames from the position, any one of the plurality of types of single small role symbols is set to any one of the plurality of stop display positions. The range of operation timing of the specific stop operating means (13a) that can be stopped and the specific small role symbol corresponding to the single small role symbol can be stopped at any of the plurality of stop display positions. The plurality of types of single small role symbols and the corresponding types of specific small role symbols are arranged apart from each other so that the operation timing range of the specific stop operation means (13a) does not overlap. In the game, the notification setting means (191) is set to notify by the notification setting means (191) and the lottery information (101, TBL1) indicates one of the plurality of types of single small prizes. If any one of the plurality of types of single small symbols stops at any one of the plurality of stop display positions in the specific display row (R1), the next game is not notified or the notification frequency is set. The stop control means (101, TBL2, TBL3, TBL5) is a game in which the lottery information indicates the winning of a specific small role award according to the type of the specific small role symbol. When the specific stop operation means (13a) is first operated among the plurality of stop operation means (13a to 13c), the specific display column (13a) is operated at the operation timing of the specific stop operation means (13a). If the specific small role symbol corresponding to the specific small role prize won from any of the plurality of stop display positions of R1) is within the range of the number of drawn frames, the specific small role symbol is displayed at the stop display position. In the game in which the specific display row (R1) is controlled so as to stop, and the lottery information indicates the winning of the single small role award according to the type of the single small role symbol, the plurality of stop operation means (13a To 13c), when the specific stop operation means (13a) is operated first, the plurality of stop display positions of the specific display row (R1) at the operation timing of the specific stop operation means (13a). If the single small role symbol corresponding to the single small role prize elected from any of the above is within the range of the number of drawn frames, the specific display column so as to stop the single small role symbol at the stop display position (R1) is controlled, and if the specific small role symbol corresponding to the single small role symbol is within the range of the number of drawn frames from any one of the plurality of stop display positions of the specific display row (R1) The specific display row (R1) is controlled so as not to stop the single small role symbol at the plurality of stop display positions.

According to this invention, when it is set to be notified by the notification setting means, the notification means notifies the player of the type of winning prize. When winning one of a plurality of independent small prizes, the notification setting means sets the notification that is supposed to be notified when the next game is not notified or the notification frequency is lowered. Each of the plurality of single small roles symbols is associated with one of a plurality of specific small roles symbols. As for the arrangement relation on the display row of the specific small role symbol associated with the single small role symbol, the range in which the specific small role symbol can be pulled into one of the multiple stop display positions overlaps the range in which the specific small role symbol can be pulled in It is set not to. Therefore, by setting the notification to be notified by the notification setting means, the notification means notifies the player which single prize is awarded, so the player avoids winning the winning single small prize. Therefore, the specific stop operating means may be operated so that the specific small role symbol constituting the corresponding specific small role award is stopped at one of the stop display positions. By arranging a single small role symbol and a specific small role symbol in this way, it is possible to reduce the skill of the player about not changing from the setting for notifying the type of prize won by the notification means or changing the setting if the frequency of notification is lowered. It is possible to provide a slot machine that can avoid winning a single small role award by making a specific small role symbol a stop operation target while being involved.

In the slot machine described above, the plurality of types of single small roles symbols include first to third single small roles symbols, and the plurality of types of specific small roles symbols include first to third specific small roles symbols, The first single small role symbol is the first specific small role symbol, the second single small role symbol is the second specific small role symbol, and the third single small role symbol is the third specific small role symbol. The first to third individual small role symbols are respectively associated with the specific small role symbols, and the position of the specific display row (R1) at the timing when the specific stop operation means (13a) is operated. When the specific display row (R1) is moved and stopped within the range of the number of frames to be drawn from, it is possible to stop a single kind of small role symbol at any of the plurality of stop display positions. Operation timing of the specific stop operation means (13a) The range and the operation timing range of the specific stop operation means (13a) capable of stopping other kinds of single small symbols in any of the plurality of stop display positions are arranged adjacent to each other, Each of the first to third specific small role symbols associated with each of the first to third single small role symbols is arranged so as to be farthest on the specific display row (R1), The first specific small role symbol is from the first single small role symbol, the second specific small role symbol is from the second single small role symbol, and the third specific small role symbol is from the third single small role symbol. It is preferable that the symbol is easier to visually identify during variable display of the specific display row (R1) than the role symbol.

According to this invention, each of the first to third specific small role symbols associated with each of the first to third single small role symbols is arranged so as to be farthest on the specific display row. In other words, in order to avoid winning the single small role award, the player places the specific small role symbol that is the target of the stop operation as farthest as possible, so even if the timing of the player's stop operation is slightly shifted, It is possible to avoid winning a prize. Furthermore, since the specific small role symbol is a symbol that is easier to visually identify during variable display than the corresponding single small role symbol, the player can perform a specific stop operation to avoid winning the single small role symbol. The operation of the means can be facilitated. Here, “visually discriminating” means that human visual perception is such that, regardless of human subjectivity, as a visual characteristic, a large one is easily identified or a darker one is more easily identified. It means discriminability on the nature of.

More specifically, when the sum of the number of drawn-in frames and the number of the plurality of stop display positions is an allowable number of frames, the first to third single small role symbols are between the above The first to third specific small role symbols are spaced apart so that there are more frames than the allowable number of frames, and the first to third specific small role symbols are disposed so that there are more frames than the allowable number of frames between them. It is preferable.

Furthermore, the range of the operation timing of the specific stop operation means that can draw the single small role symbol into any of the plurality of stop display positions does not overlap each other and is adjacent to each of the multiple types of single small role symbols. Each single small role symbol is arranged. Therefore, when the player operates the specific stop operation means without knowing the result of the internal lottery, the single small role symbols constituting the single small role prize won at the rate of “1/3” are displayed at a plurality of stop display positions. On the other hand, there is an effect that it cannot be stopped at any of a plurality of stop display positions at a rate of “2/3”. In this way, by setting the symbol arrangement so that the operation timings at which the first to third single prizes are won are exclusive, the operation timing that does not win any of the single prizes is eliminated. be able to. If there are operation timings in which two or more single small prizes are not won, the player tries to operate the specific stop operation means at the operation timing. According to the present invention, since the single small role symbol is arranged so that there is no such operation timing, even if the player is excellent in the skill of pushing, the winning of the single small role award, that is, the second The transition from the state to the first state can be left to the probability.

In the slot machine described above, in the specific display row (R1), the area of the first specific small role symbol is larger than the area of the first single small role symbol, and the second specific small role symbol. Is larger than the area of the second single small role symbol, and the area of the third specific small role symbol is preferably larger than the area of the third single small role symbol. The larger the area of human visual characteristics, the easier it is to identify an object while moving. For this reason, the first specific small role symbol can be improved in discrimination than the first single small role symbol, and the second specific small role symbol can be improved in discrimination than the second single small role symbol. And the second specific small role symbol can be improved in discriminability than the second single small role symbol.

In the slot machine described above, the color of the widest area of the first specific small role symbol is the first color, the color of the widest area of the second specific small role symbol is the second color, The color of the widest area among the 3 specific small role designs is the third color,
Of the first single small role symbol, the color of the widest area is the fourth color, among the first single small role symbol, the color of the widest area is the fifth color, and among the first single small role symbol The color of the widest area is the sixth color, and in the CIELab color space, the distance between the first color and the fourth color is the distance between the first color and the fifth color and the first color. The distance between the second color and the sixth color is shorter than the distance between the second color and the sixth color, and the distance between the second color and the fifth color is the distance between the second color and the fourth color. Shorter than the distance between two colors and the sixth color, the distance between the third color and the sixth color is the distance between the third color and the fourth color and The distance is preferably shorter than the distance between the third color and the fifth color. According to the present invention, the color of a single small role symbol and the color of a specific small role symbol corresponding thereto are approximated as compared with the colors of other single small role symbols. Therefore, in order for the player to avoid winning a single small role award, the corresponding specific small role symbol can be identified more clearly.

Further, in the slot machine described above, in the game in which the lottery information of the lottery means (101, TBL1) indicates winning of any of the plurality of types of specific small role awards, the stop control means (101, TBL2, TBL3) , TBL5), when the other display columns (R2, R3) are stopped before the specific display column (R1), the other display columns (R2, R3) are specified by the plurality of types of specific display columns (R2, R3). It is preferable to stop the specific small role symbol corresponding to the type of the specific small role award won in any of the plurality of stop display positions so as to be a stop mode common to the small role award. In this case, since the stop mode in the other display columns can be made common to a plurality of types of specific small role awards, the types of symbols to be arranged in the other display columns can be reduced.

Further, in the slot machine described above, in the game in which the lottery information of the lottery means (101, TBL1) indicates winning of any of the plurality of types of single small prizes, the stop control means (101, TBL2, TBL3) , TBL5), when the other display columns (R2, R3) are stopped before the specific display column (R1), the other display columns (R2, R3) It is preferable to stop a predetermined symbol at each of the plurality of stop display positions so as to be a stop mode common to the small prize. In this case, the predetermined symbol may be an arbitrary symbol, or a predetermined small symbol is displayed at any one of a plurality of stop display positions regardless of the timing of the stop operation means corresponding to another display row. It may be a symbol (so-called 100% winning symbol) arranged to draw the symbol constituting the prize.

In the slot machine described above, the plurality of types of specific small role symbols are within the range of the number of drawn frames from the position of the specific display row (R1) at the timing when the specific stop operation means (13a) is operated. When the specific display row (R1) is moved and stopped, the specific stop operating means (13a) capable of stopping a certain kind of small role symbol at any of the plurality of stop display positions. The operation timing range is adjacent to the operation timing range of the specific stop operation means (13a) capable of stopping another kind of specific small role symbol at any of the plurality of stop display positions. The lottery means (101, TBL1) is arranged to generate the lottery information indicating that the plurality of types of specific small prizes are won simultaneously in one game. And the stop control means (101, TBL2, TBL3, TBL5) of the plurality of stop operation means (13a to 13c) in a game in which the lottery information indicates simultaneous winning of the plurality of types of specific small role awards. Of these, the specific stop operation means (13a) is first operated, and at the timing of the operation, the specific stop operation means (13a) is positioned within the range of the number of drawn frames from any of the plurality of stop display positions of the specific display row (R1). Preferably, any one of the plurality of types of specific small role symbols is always stopped at the stop display position. According to the present invention, the specific small role symbols are arranged so that the operation timing ranges in which a plurality of types of specific small role symbols can be drawn do not overlap each other. Therefore, in the normal case, if one of the specified small role awards is won by lottery, the specific small role award can be awarded according to the skill of the player's mainstream, while a plurality of types of specific If a winning combination is drawn at the same time, the specified small role award can be won regardless of the skill of the player.

Further, in the slot machine described above, the re-game award constitutes an arrangement of symbols of the re-game award in the specific display row (R1) at any one of the plurality of stop display positions of the specific display row (R1). The symbol to be stopped is stopped, and the display in the other display row (R2, R3) is resumed at the stop display position of the other display row (R2, R3) on the winning line (L1-L5) including the stop display position. When the symbols composing the game awards are stopped, the winning is awarded, and the stop control means (101, TBL2, TBL3, TBL5) is configured to stop the plurality of stops in the game in which the lottery information indicates the winning of the re-game award. When the specific stop operation means (13a) is first operated among the operation means (13a to 13c), it is preceded by one of the plurality of stop display positions in the specific display row (R1). When the symbol of the re-game prize is stopped and the stop operation means corresponding to the other display columns (R2, R3) is first operated among the plurality of stop operation means (13a to 13c), The symbols constituting the re-game prize symbol arrangement in the other display columns (R2, R3) are stopped at a predetermined stop display position among the plurality of stop display positions of the other display columns (R2, R3). It is preferable. Here, the symbols constituting the replay award may be common to all display columns such as “Plum-Plum-Plum”, for example, when a plurality of display columns are configured by three reels. Or, the “Plum-Bell-Bell” or the like having a different design in the specific display row and the other display row is also included.

The winning lines L1 to L5 can be said to be a set of stop display positions for stopping the symbols on the reels R1 to R3.

FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing the arrangement of symbols printed on the reel bands corresponding to the reels R1 to R3. On each reel R1 to R3, 21 symbols are printed at equal intervals. Since stepping motors 54a to 54c (see FIG. 3) that rotate once by supplying pulses of 400 steps are used, when 21 symbols are arranged, the interval of symbols becomes 19 steps. In addition, when 10 steps are advanced after detecting the reel position detection signals 155a to 155c, the symbol number PN = 1 is positioned on the winning line L1 in the center of the reel window 20, so that the reel position detection signal If the process proceeds 29 steps after detecting 155a to 155c, the symbol number PN = 2 is positioned on the winning line L1, and if the process advances 48 steps, the symbol number PN = 3 is positioned on the winning line L1, and the process proceeds 390 steps. For example, the symbol number PN = 21 is positioned on the winning line L1. When the processing proceeds beyond step 390, reel position detection signals 155a to 155c are detected again. Accordingly, a predetermined symbol can be positioned on the winning line L1 by the number of steps to be advanced with the timing at which the reel position detection signals 155a to 155c are detected as a base point.

The symbol number PN = 7 of the left reel R3, the symbol number PN = 13 of the middle reel R2, and the symbol number PN = 13 of the right reel is a “blue 7” symbol in which the number 7 is painted in blue, and the left reel R3 The symbol number PN = 21, the symbol number PN = 21 for the middle reel R2, and the symbol number PN = 21 for the right reel is a “red 7” symbol in which the numeral 7 is painted in red. Also, the symbol number PN = 18 of the left reel R3, the symbol number PN = 5 of the middle reel R2, and the symbol number PN = 5 of the right reel is the “blue cherry” where the cherry part is painted in blue. The symbol number PN = 11 on the left reel R3, the symbol number PN = 9 on the middle reel R2, and the symbol number PN = 9 on the right reel are filled with red cherries. The “red cherry” symbol is a symbol of symbol number PN = 4 on the left reel, which is a “black cherry” symbol in which the cherry part is painted black. The symbol arrangement on the reel band may be “01” for the “Red 7” symbol, “02” for the “Blue 7” symbol, or “Black Bar” symbol as described in parentheses in FIG. “03”, “Watermelon” symbol “04”, “Bell” symbol “05”, “Red Cherry” symbol “06”, “Plum” symbol “07”, The code code PC data is stored as “08” for the “blue cherry” symbol, “09” for the “black cherry” symbol, and “10” for the “orange” symbol.

Here, the color and size of the pattern which are characteristic of the present invention will be described. The color of the widest area of the “red 7” symbol on the left reel R1 and the color of the widest area of the “red cherry” symbol are the same red, and the “red 7” symbol is the maximum horizontal width of the symbol. Is wider than the “red cherry” design and the overall area of the design is larger than the “red cherry” design. Therefore, the “red 7” symbol is easier for the player to visually recognize during the variable display than the “red cherry” symbol. Further, the “red 7” symbol has a wider maximum width in the horizontal direction than the symbols other than the “black bar” symbol and the “blue 7” symbol, and the entire area of the symbol is large. Similarly, the color of the widest area of the “black bar” symbol on the left reel R1 and the color of the widest area of the “black cherry” symbol are the same black, and the “black bar” symbol is the horizontal direction of the symbol. Is wider than the “black cherry” symbol, and the overall area of the symbol is larger than the “black cherry” symbol. Therefore, it is easier for the player to visually recognize the “black bar” symbol during variable display than the “black cherry” symbol. In addition, the “black bar” symbol has a wider maximum width in the horizontal direction than the symbols other than the “red 7” symbol and the “blue 7” symbol, and the overall area of the symbol is large. Similarly, the color of the widest area of the “blue 7” symbol on the left reel R1 and the color of the widest area of the “blue cherry” symbol are the same white, and the “blue 7” symbol is the horizontal direction of the symbol. Is wider than the “blue cherry” symbol and the overall area of the symbol is larger than the “blue cherry” symbol. Therefore, it is easier for the player to visually recognize the “blue 7” symbol during the variable display than the “blue cherry” symbol. In addition, the “black bar” symbol has a wider maximum width in the horizontal direction than the symbols other than the “red 7” symbol and the “blue 7” symbol, and the overall area of the symbol is large. Accordingly, in the left reel R1, the “red 7” symbol, the “blue 7” symbol, and the “black bar” symbol are easier to visually recognize during variable display than other symbols different from the three symbols. ing. In addition, this feature works effectively in the RT game and AT state described later.

By the way, the color can be specified by coordinates on the color space. Although there are various definitions in the color space, in this embodiment, colors are defined in the CIELab color space defined in Japanese Industrial Standard JIS Z 8729. In this color space, the color coordinates are designated by the coordinates of the L axis, the a axis, and the b axis. The color difference is an index of the difference between the two colors, and can be represented by a distance in the color space. The color difference between a certain color and another color is determined by the square root of the sum of the differences of the L-axis, a-axis, and b-axis. In the above example, “Red Cherry” design and “Red 7” design, “Black Cherry” design and “Black Bar” design, and “Blue Cherry” design and “Blue 7” design are explained as the same color. The color of the pattern to be performed may be an approximate color. More specifically, the color of the largest area of the “Red 7” design is the first color, the color of the largest area of the “Blue 7” design is the second color, and the largest area of the “Black Bar” design. The color of the third color, the color of the widest area of the “red cherry” design is the fourth color, the color of the widest area of the “blue cherry” design is the fifth color, and the color of the “black cherry” design is the widest When the color of the area is the sixth color, the distance (color difference) between the first color and the fourth color is the distance between the first color and the fifth color and the first color and the sixth color. The distance between the second color and the fifth color is shorter than the distance between the second color and the fourth color and the distance between the second color and the fourth color. Thus, the distance between the third color and the sixth color may be shorter than the distance between the third color and the fourth color and the distance between the third color and the fifth color. preferable. That is, the “red cherry” symbol is more similar to the “red 7” symbol than the “blue 7” symbol and the “black bar” symbol, and the “blue cherry” symbol is the “red 7” symbol and The color of the “Blue 7” symbol is more similar to the color of the “Black 7” symbol than the color of the “Blue 7” symbol and the “Red 7” symbol. It is preferable to approximate the color.

(8) Settlement / Payout Processing In the case where game medals are stored as credits in the storage device, the player operates the checkout button 14 before the player operates the start lever 12, so that the medal payout device The game medals for the amount stored by driving is paid out to the medal tray 40. When the payment button 14 is received, if there are game medals for which the winning line is validated and game medals for the stored amount, the return payout process and the payment payout process are performed together.

<3-2: Prize and Role of Slot Machine> FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining the award, role, and game value to be given in the slot machine 1. In the slot machine 1, when a predetermined symbol combination is aligned on an activated pay line, a prize is awarded, and the gaming value to be given is a maximum payout of 15 medals based on the number of payouts determined for each combination. A small role award that is a paid dividend, a start prize whose game value is given to start another type of game from the base game, and a game value that is given to start the next game without a betting operation There is a replay prize.

(1) Start Prize The BB1 prize is a start prize for starting a BB game, and is composed of a combination of symbols of “red 7-red 7-red 7” (also referred to as “red 7 role”) as a role. The BB2 prize is also a start prize for starting the BB game, and is composed of a combination of symbols of “blue 7-blue 7-blue 7” (also referred to as “blue 7 role”) as a role. When the BB1 prize or the BB2 prize is won by an internal lottery during the normal game and a combination corresponding to each prize is established on the winning line, the BB game is started from the next game. The BB game is ended when the number obtained in the BB game reaches the prescribed number or exceeds the prescribed number in the next payout. In addition, even if the BB1 prize or the BB2 prize is won by the internal lottery during the normal game, if a combination corresponding to each prize is not established on the winning line, the BB1 is continued until the corresponding combination is established and won. It becomes a BB carryover game that carries over the winning of the award or the BB2 prize. When the winning combination is established on the winning line during the BB carryover game and the winning is won, the BB game is started from the next game. The BB1 award and the BB2 award are collectively referred to as a BB award.

In the slot machine 1, the game type is managed by the game type information. When the game type indicates a BB game, the bit corresponding to the BB game flag in the game type information is set (hereinafter referred to as “setting the BB flag”). When the acquired number of games during the BB game reaches the specified number, the bit is cleared (hereinafter, “BB flag is cleared”). When a plurality of games are mounted, a flag corresponding to each game is provided. If no flag of the game type information is set, it indicates that the game type is a normal game.

(2) Small role award The small role A prize is a small role award with 10 medals as a dividend, and consists of a combination of “watermelon-watermelon-watermelon” symbols (also called “watermelon role”). . The small role B1 award is a small role award with 15 medals as a payout, and includes a combination of symbols of “red 7-bell-bell” (also referred to as “red 7-bell role”). The small role B2 award is a small role award with 15 medals as a dividend, and is composed of a combination of symbols of “blue 7-bell-bell” (also referred to as “blue 7-bell role”). The small role B3 award is a small character award with 15 medals as a payout, and is composed of a combination of symbols of “black bar-bell-bell” (also referred to as “black barbell role”) as a role.

The small role C1 award is a small role award that uses two medals as a dividend, and is composed of a combination of symbols of “red cherry-ANY-ANY” (also referred to as “red cherry role”). ANY indicates that any symbol may be used. This “red cherry role” is awarded when only the “red cherry” symbol of the left reel R1 is aligned on the winning line, and the “red cherry” symbol is displayed at the middle display position (M1) of the left reel R1. In such a case, the winning is made only on the winning line L1, and a payout of two medals can be obtained. In addition, when displayed at the upper display position (U1) of the left reel R1, a winning is achieved on two winning lines of the winning lines L2 and L4. Such simultaneous winning on a plurality of winning lines is called “overlapping winning”, and the number of payouts corresponding to the duplicated winnings can be obtained by combining up to 15 payouts. In this case, a payout of four medals can be obtained. Further, when the game type is RT game and the small role C1 prize is won, the running RT game is ended and the normal game is played from the next game. Details of the game type will be described later (see FIG. 7).

The small role C2 award is a small role award with two medals as a payout, and is composed of a combination of symbols of “blue cherry-ANY-ANY” (also referred to as “blue cherry role”). ANY indicates that any symbol may be used. This “blue cherry role” is awarded only when the “blue cherry” symbol of the left reel R1 is aligned on the winning line, and the “blue cherry” symbol is displayed at the middle display position (M1) of the left reel R1. In such a case, the winning is made only on the winning line L1, and a payout of two medals can be obtained. Further, when displayed at the upper display position (U1) of the left reel R1, a winning is made on two winning lines of the winning lines L2 and L4, and a payout of four medals can be obtained. When the game type is an RT game and the small role C2 prize is won, the running RT game is ended and the normal game is played from the next game.

The small role C3 award is a small role award with two medals as a dividend, and is composed of a combination of symbols of “black cherry-ANY-ANY” (also referred to as “black cherry role”). ANY indicates that any symbol may be used. This “black cherry role” is awarded when only the “black cherry” symbol of the left reel R1 is aligned on the winning line, and the “black cherry” symbol is displayed at the middle display position (M1) of the left reel R1. In such a case, the winning is made only on the winning line L1, and a payout of two medals can be obtained. Further, when displayed at the upper display position (U1) of the left reel R1, a winning is made on two winning lines of the winning lines L2 and L4, and a payout of four medals can be obtained. When the game type is RT game and the small role C3 prize is won, the RT game being executed is terminated and the normal game is played from the next game. The CPU 101 functions as a game management unit that manages game types such as RT games and normal games under predetermined conditions. (3) Re-game award The re-game award is an award that gives a game value for starting the next game without a betting operation. Say).

(4) 100% retractable design As shown in the arrangement of the “Plum” design and the “Bell” design, the “Plum” design is all reels, the “Bell” design is the middle reel R2 and the right reel R3. In the same reel, the interval between symbols from one “Plum” symbol to the next “Plum” symbol, and the interval between symbols from one “Bell” symbol to the next “Bell” symbol are all 4 symbols (4 frames). ) Arranged within the interval. In the slot machine 1, the symbols constituting the prize can be drawn up to a maximum of four frames on the winning line and stopped by the reel stop control described later. Therefore, no matter what timing the player operates the stop buttons 13a to 13c by arranging the “Plum” symbol and the “Bell” symbol so that the interval is within 4 frames, It is possible to stop the drawing by drawing the symbol. Such a “plum” symbol and a “bell” symbol are referred to as 100% retractable symbols. “Plum role” with all the combinations of symbols that make up the award as a 100% drawable symbol, the player operates the stop buttons 13a to 13c at any timing in a game that is elected only for that award. Even if you do, you must win. Prizes composed of such roles are called prizes that can be awarded 100%.

<3-3: Explanation of Types of Games in Slot Machine> FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram showing types of games played in the slot machine 1. (1) Normal game A game that uses a prize lottery table (TBL10) for a normal game as a lottery condition for performing an internal lottery.

(2) BB Game As shown in FIG. 5A, when the BB1 prize is won by an internal lottery while the base game is being executed, and the BB1 role is established, the BB game is started from the next game. Similarly, when the base game is being executed, the BB2 prize is won by internal lottery, and when the BB2 role is established and won, the BB game is started from the next game. The BB game is a prize lottery table (TBL12) that does not draw the BB1 prize and the BB2 prize as compared to the prize lottery table for the normal game and has a high probability of drawing a small role prize as a lottery condition for performing an internal lottery. ).

(3) BB carryover game As shown in FIG. 5B, even if the BB1 prize or the BB2 prize is won by the internal lottery during the normal game, if the BB1 or BB2 prize is not established, the next game or later will be won. Until then, it becomes a BB carryover game in which the winning flag of the BB1 prize or the BB2 prize is carried over. The game uses an award lottery table (TBL11) that does not draw the BB1 award and the BB2 award as a lottery condition for performing an internal lottery as compared to the award lottery table (TBL10) for a normal game. As shown in FIG. 5C, when the BB1 role or the BB2 role is established and won in the BB carryover game, the BB game is started from the next game. (4) End of BB Game As shown in FIG. 4D, when the number of acquired games exceeds the specified number during the BB game, the BB game is ended and the next game is shifted to the RT game and the AT state.

(5) RT game and AT state From the next game after the end of the BB game, the RT game and AT state are entered. The RT game is a game that uses a prize lottery table (TBL13) having a lottery probability of a re-game prize as a lottery condition for performing an internal lottery as compared to a prize lottery table for a normal game. In the AT state, in each game until a predetermined number of games elapses, when one of the small role prizes is won by internal lottery, the CPU 101 of the main control board 100A passes the data sending circuit 106. The lottery information is transmitted as a command, and when the CPU 191 of the display control board 100B receives the command through the data input circuit 196, the type of the small prize winning in the liquid crystal display 30 through the display circuit 197 is given to the player This is a state in which an image for notification is displayed. That is, in the AT state, the player can know the type of the winning small role award when winning the small role prize in the internal lottery in each game. Examples of the predetermined number of games at which the AT state ends include “50” game, “100” game, and “300” game.

(6) End of RT game and AT state As shown in FIG. 4D, when the BB1 prize is won by internal lottery while the RT game and AT state is executed, and the BB1 role is established and won, the RT game and AT The state ends, and the BB game starts from the next game. Similarly, when the RT game and AT state are executed, the BB2 prize is won by internal lottery, and when the BB2 role is established and won, the RT game and AT state are ended, and the BB game is started from the next game. In addition, as shown in FIG. 5E, even if the BB1 prize or the BB2 prize is won by the internal lottery while the RT game and AT state are being executed, if the BB1 or BB2 prize is not established, the next game and subsequent prizes will be won. The BB carryover game in which the winning flag of the BB1 award or the BB2 award is carried over. In addition, as shown in FIG. 5F, when a predetermined number of games elapses during execution of the RT game and the AT state, the AT state is ended, and the RT game that is not in the AT state is started from the next game. Start. Also, as shown in FIG. 5G, when the RT game and the AT state are being executed, if any of the small role award C1, the small role C2 award, or the small role C3 award is won, the RT game and The AT state ends and the normal game starts from the next game.

(7) RT game not in the AT state The RT game not in the AT state is the RT game and the AT state. As a lottery condition for performing the internal lottery, the re-game award It is a game using a prize lottery table (TBL13) with a high lottery probability. However, since the CPU 191 of the display control board 100B as a state different from the RT game and the AT state does not display an image on the liquid crystal display 30 in order to notify the player that the small role prize has been won, It is impossible to know from the image displayed on the liquid crystal display 30 that the small prize has been won in the internal lottery.

(8) Termination of RT game not in AT state As shown in FIG. 5H, RT that is not in AT state when the BB1 prize is won by the internal lottery and the BB1 combination is won while winning the RT game that is not in the AT state. The game ends and the BB game starts from the next game. Similarly, when the RT game that is not in the AT state is being executed, the BB2 prize is won by internal lottery, and when the BB2 role is established and won, the RT game that is not in the AT state is terminated and the BB game is started from the next game. Also, as shown in FIG. 4K, even if the BB1 prize or the BB2 prize is won by an internal lottery while an RT game that is not in the AT state is being executed, if the BB1 prize or the BB2 prize is not established, the next game or later will be won. The BB carryover game in which the winning flag of the BB1 award or the BB2 award is carried over. Also, as shown in FIG. 5L, when a predetermined number of games have elapsed during execution of an RT game that is not in the AT state, the RT game that is not in the AT state is terminated and the normal game is started from the next game. To do. As the predetermined number of games as a condition for ending the RT game that is not in the AT state, a larger number of games than the predetermined game in which the AT state shown in FIG. Or a "3000" game etc. can be illustrated. In addition, when an RT game that is not in the AT state is won and any of the small role C1 prize, the small role C2 prize, or the small role C3 prize is won, the RT game that is not in the AT state is ended, and the normal game is started from the next game. Is started.

<4: Operation of Slot Machine> Next, details of the overall operation of the slot machine 1 will be described. The CPU 101 performs an initialization process after turning on the power, and executes the process of the flowchart shown in FIG.

<4-1: Flow of One Game> FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the contents of a single game flow. First, the CPU 101 determines based on the medal insertion signal 160 or the bet operation instruction signals 111a to 111c whether or not an insertion bet operation by insertion of a medal or a storage bet operation by operation of the bet button 11 has been performed. (S100). If any signal is detected, the CPU 101 proceeds to the next step, determines whether or not the start lever operation has been performed based on the start operation instruction signal 112, and waits until the signal is detected (S101). When the CPU 101 detects the signal, the CPU 101 prohibits the betting operation (S102). Specifically, the solenoid of the medal selector device is turned off by the medal block signal 161, the passage route of the medal selector device is switched, and the game medal is discharged to the medal tray 40 even when it is inserted from the medal insertion slot 10. Also, bet operation instruction signals 111a to 111c are not accepted.

Next, the CPU 101 sequentially increments every 10 nanoseconds in the range of 0000H to 3FFFH (hereinafter, “H” is added to the numerical value shown in hexadecimal), and makes one round in about 1.6 milliseconds. A counter value is acquired from the counter circuit via the input / output port 107 and is set as a random value (S103). Next, referring to the game type information, a prize lottery table corresponding to the type of the game is selected (S104). Using the selected prize lottery table, the CPU 101 determines which numerical range set for each lottery category on the prize lottery table the acquired random number value belongs to, and the prize corresponding to the lottery category is determined. Lottery information is set (S105). Next, the CPU 101 transmits the set lottery information of the set prize to the display control board 100B and the illumination control board 100C via the data transmission circuit 106 (105a). Then, the CPU 101 supplies pulses to the reel drive signals 154a to 154c and drives the stepping motors sequentially or simultaneously to rotate the three reels (S106). Specifically, each of the reel drive signals 154a to 154c includes a plurality of drive signal lines for exciting a plurality of winding phases, and a reel is supplied by supplying a pulse signal to each drive signal line in a predetermined phase pattern. Rotate.

Next, the CPU 101 rotates each of the reels R1 to R3 at a constant rotation speed through an acceleration period of 10 steps. When the pulse widths of the reel drive signals 154a to 154c supplied to the drive signal line of the stepping motor become constant, it is detected that each reel R1 to R3 has reached a constant rotational speed, and the stop buttons 13a to 13c are received. In order to let you know that you can do it, turn on the LED built into the stop button. As another method for detecting that each of the reels R1 to R3 has reached a constant rotational speed, a predetermined time has elapsed since the start of reel rotation, or a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of reel rotation (predetermined number of interrupts generated ) After that, a method of assuming that a constant rotation speed has been reached by outputting pulses at regular intervals to the stepping motor, or after a predetermined number of steps have elapsed since the start of reel rotation, or a predetermined time has elapsed since the start of reel rotation (predetermined) After a certain number of interruptions), a method that considers that a certain rotational speed has been reached when a predetermined time has elapsed, a predetermined number of steps have elapsed, a stepping motor has made one revolution, or an index has been detected, etc. is there. That is, in this embodiment, the time point at which the constant rotational speed is detected is set as the reference time point, but the time point at which it is considered that the constant rotational speed is reached may be set as the reference time point.

And CPU101 performs the reel stop process which stops each reel R1-R3 (S107). As will be described in detail later, in the reel stop process, when stop operation instruction signals 113a to 113c are detected and the player's stop button is operated, the stop button is based on the stop link table corresponding to the winning prize. The symbol to be stopped is determined with reference to the stop table from the symbol position (symbol number PN) on the reel obtained at the operation timing. After that, a brake force is applied by all-phase excitation that excites all winding phases simultaneously, and a reel stop process for rotating and stopping by inertia corresponding to 15 steps after starting all-phase excitation is performed for each reel. Do it.

Next, when all the reels are stopped, the CPU 101 determines whether or not a winning combination is established on a valid winning line (S108), and if it is winning, a game value set for each winning combination is given. To do. Next, the CPU 101 performs a game end determination process, and determines whether the end condition of the BB game is satisfied if the BB game is in progress (S109). Subsequently, lottery information clear processing is performed (S110). Here, if the winning prize in the game is a start prize that can be carried over after the next game (for example, the BB prize), the lottery information is cleared only when the prize is won, and the prize is lost without winning. Does not clear the lottery information. On the other hand, if the prize won in the game is a start prize or small part prize that cannot be carried over, the lottery information is cleared regardless of winning or missing. Next, the prohibition of the bet operation performed in step S102 is canceled (S111), the game medal can be inserted or the input of the bet button 11 can be accepted, and the process returns to step S100 to prepare for the start of the next game. Note that the process from acceptance of the bet operation in step S100 to the release of the bet operation prohibition in step S111 is referred to as a single game in the slot machine 1.

<4-2: Prize Lottery Table Determination Process> FIG. 9A is a diagram illustrating a prize lottery table selected in the prize lottery table determination process in step S104. In executing the internal lottery, the CPU 101 selects the prize lottery table TBL10 in the base game, selects the prize lottery table TBL11 in the BB carryover game, selects the prize lottery table TBL12 in the BB game, and performs the RT game and the AT state. In the RT game that is not in the AT state, the prize lottery table TBL13 is selected, and the lottery is executed based on the selected prize lottery table. Each of the prize lottery tables TBL10 to TBL13 includes a plurality of lottery sections, and a numerical value corresponding to the selection probability selected in the lottery is stored in each of the plurality of lottery sections. In the slot machine 1, a pseudo-random number is generated using a counter circuit that sequentially increments in the range from 0000H to 3FFFH, so the denominator of the fraction indicating the selection probability is “16384”, and each lottery section Stores a numerical value corresponding to the numerator of the selection probability. For example, the lottery category 1 is a lottery category corresponding to the BB1 prize. “50” is stored in the lottery category 1 corresponding to the prize lottery table TBL10 selected in the base game, and the lottery category 1 is drawn with a selection probability of “50/16384”. In addition, “0” is stored in the lottery category 1 corresponding to the prize lottery tables TBL11 and TBL12 selected in the BB carryover game and the BB game, and it is excluded from the lottery target. If the lottery category 1 is selected as a result of the internal lottery in the normal game, the BB1 prize is won, and the CPU 101 sets lottery information (04H) corresponding to the BB1 prize. The lottery category 2 is a lottery category corresponding to the BB2 prize. “50” is stored in the lottery section 2 corresponding to the prize lottery table TBL10 selected in the normal game, the RT game and the AT state, and the prize lottery table TBL13 selected in the RT game that is not in the AT state. The lottery is selected with a selection probability of “50/16384”. In addition, “0” is stored in the lottery section 2 corresponding to the prize lottery tables TBL11 and TBL12 selected in the BB carryover game and the BB game, and it is excluded from the lottery target. If the lottery category 2 is selected as a result of the internal lottery in the normal game, the BB2 prize is won, and the CPU 101 sets lottery information (0CH) corresponding to the BB2 prize.

The lottery sections 3 to 6 are lottery sections corresponding to the small role A prize, the small role B1 prize, the small role B2 prize, and the small role B3 prize, respectively. “200” is stored in the lottery section 3 corresponding to the prize lottery tables TBL10 to TBL13, and the lottery section 3 is drawn with a selection probability of “200/16384”. In addition, “565” is stored in the lottery sections 4 to 6, and the lottery sections 4 to 6 are lottery with a selection probability of “565/16384”. When an internal lottery result is selected in the base game, the BB game, the RT game and the AT state, and the RT game that is not in the AT state, and these lottery divisions are selected, the CPU 101 selects lottery information (00H, 11H, 21H and 31H) are set. In the BB carryover game, the CPU 101 executes the lottery by excluding the BB prize from the lottery object, and the prize won in the internal lottery (any one of the small part A prize, the small part B1 prize, the small part B2 prize or the small part B3 prize) ) And a carry-over BB award (for example, a BB1 award and a small role A award) are set for lottery information.

The lottery section 7 is a lottery section corresponding to the small role B1 prize, the small role B2 prize, and the small role B3 prize. The lottery classification 2 corresponding to the prize lottery table TBL10 selected in the base game, the prize lottery table TBL11 selected in the BB carryover game, and the prize lottery table TBL13 selected in the RT game and the RT game in the AT state and not in the AT state is “1500” is stored, and lottery section 7 is drawn with a selection probability of “1500/16384”. In the BB game, the selection probability corresponding to the lottery category 7 is set to be higher than that in the normal game, and the game becomes easy to win the small role B1 award, the small role B2 award, and the small role B3 award. When the lottery category 7 is selected as a result of the internal lottery in the normal game, the BB game, the RT game, the AT state, and the RT game that is not in the AT state, the CPU 101 receives the small role B1 award, the small role B2 award, and the small role B3 award. The lottery information (41H) corresponding to the plurality of prizes of the small role B1, the small role B2 and the small role B3 is set. The execution of the internal lottery so that a plurality of prizes can be won simultaneously by one internal lottery is called “simultaneous lottery”. Also, in the BB carryover game, the BB prize is excluded from the lottery object, the lottery is executed, and the prizes won in the internal lottery (the small part B1 prize, the small part B2 prize, and the small part B3 prize) and the carry-over BB prize The lottery information indicating the winning of the four prizes (for example, the BB1 prize and the small part B1 prize, the small part B2 prize, and the small part B3 prize) is set.

The lottery sections 8 to 10 are lottery sections respectively corresponding to the small role C1 prize, the small role C2 prize, and the small role C3 prize. “700” is stored in the lottery sections 8 to 10 corresponding to the prize lottery tables TBL10 to TBL13, and the lottery sections 8 to 10 are lottery with a selection probability of “700/16384”. When these lottery sections are selected as a result of the internal lottery in the normal game, the BB game, the RT game, the AT state, and the RT game that is not in the AT state, the CPU 101 selects the lottery information (52H, 62H, and 72H) is set. In the BB carryover game, the CPU 101 executes the lottery by excluding the BB prize from the lottery object, and carries it over with the prize (any one of the small role C1, the small role C2 or the small role C3 award) won in the internal lottery. The lottery information indicating the winning of two prizes (for example, the BB1 prize and the small role C1 prize) is set.

The lottery section 11 is a lottery section corresponding to the re-game prize. “2250” is stored in the lottery section 11 corresponding to the prize lottery table TBL10 selected in the base game and the prize lottery table TBL11 selected in the BB carryover game, and the lottery section 11 has a selection probability of “2250/16384”. A lottery will be held. On the other hand, “10788” is stored in the lottery section 11 corresponding to the prize lottery table TBL13 selected in the RT game and the AT state and the RT game not in the AT state. That is, the lottery section 11 is drawn with a selection probability of “10788/16384” as a higher probability than the prize lottery table TBL10 selected in the base game and the prize lottery table TBL11 selected in the BB carryover game. When the lottery section 11 is selected as a result of the internal lottery in the normal game, the BB game, the RT game, the AT state, and the RT game not in the AT state, the CPU 101 sets lottery information (83H) corresponding to the lottery section. In the BB carryover game, the CPU 101 executes the lottery by excluding the BB prize from the lottery object, and the two prizes (for example, the BB1 prize and the second prize) of the prize (replay prize) won by the internal lottery and the BB prize carried over. Set lottery information indicating winning of (Game Award). Note that “0” is stored in the lottery section 11 corresponding to the prize lottery table TBL12 selected in the BB game, and the lottery section 11 is excluded from the lottery targets.

The lottery section 12 is a lottery section corresponding to a loss. “12734” is stored in the lottery section 12 corresponding to the prize lottery table TBL10 selected in the base game, and the lottery section 12 is drawn with a selection probability of “12734/16384”. In addition, since “0” is stored in the lottery section 12 corresponding to the prize lottery table TBL11 selected in the BB carryover game, in the BB carryover game, the BB prize is excluded from the lottery targets and the lottery is executed. For this reason, since the lottery classification of the loss is increased accordingly, “12834” is stored, and the loser is lottery with a selection probability of “12834/16384”. “389” is stored in the lottery section 12 corresponding to the prize lottery table TBL12 selected in the BB game, and the lottery section 12 is drawn with a selection probability of “389/16384”. In the lottery section 12 corresponding to the prize lottery table TBL13 selected in the RT game and the AT state and the RT game that is not in the AT state, the probability that the replay prize is higher in the RT game and the RT game that is not in the AT state and the AT state is higher than that in the normal game Win. For this reason, the lottery section for the loss is narrowed accordingly and “1” is stored, and the lottery is selected with a selection probability of “1/16384”. When the lottery section 12 is selected as a result of the internal lottery in the normal game, the BB game, the RT game, the AT state, and the RT game that is not in the AT state, the CPU 101 sets the lottery information (0EH) of the prize corresponding to the lottery section. . In the BB carryover game, the CPU 101 executes the lottery by excluding the BB prize from the lottery object, and sets lottery information indicating the lost BB prize (for example, the BB1 prize and the lost). In the present embodiment, 12 is provided as the lottery category corresponding to the lose, but if the lottery category is not set to 12 and does not fall within any lottery category of the lottery categories 1 to 11 in the internal lottery, the lottery is determined. It is good also as what produces | generates.

FIG. 9B illustrates the lottery information generated as a result of the internal lottery. In the slot machine 1, one of a plurality of lottery categories is selected by internal lottery, and lottery information corresponding to one or more prizes corresponding to the selected lottery category is set. Of the data indicated by the lottery information, 00H, 11H, 21H, 31H, 52H, 62H, 72H, and 83H are a small role A prize, a small role B1 award, a small role B2 award, a small role B3 award, and a small role C1 award, respectively. This is data indicating that only one of the small role C2 prize, the small role C3 prize and the replay prize is won. 41H is data indicating that the small role B1 prize, the small role B2 prize and the small role B3 prize are won simultaneously. Further, 0EH is data indicating that neither a lose nor a BB prize has been carried over. In addition, 04H is data indicating that only the BB1 prize is won, and 09H is data indicating that only the BB2 prize is won.

On the other hand, 05H, 16H, 26H, 36H, 57H, 67H, 77H and 08H are a small role A prize, a small role B1 award, a small role B2 award, a small role B3 award, a small role C1 award, a small role C2 award, It is data indicating that either the small role C3 or the replay prize is won and the BB1 prize is carried over. In addition, 0AH, 1BH, 2BH, 3BH, 1CH, 2CH, 3CH and 0DH are respectively a small role A prize, a small role B1 award, a small role B2 award, a small role B3 award, a small role C1 award, a small role C2 award, It is data indicating that either the small role C3 or the replay prize is won and the BB2 prize is carried over. 46H is data indicating that the small role B1 award, the small role B2 award, and the small role B3 award are simultaneously won and the BB1 award is carried over. 4BH is data indicating that the small role B1 award, the small role B2 award and the small role B3 award are won simultaneously and the BB2 award is carried over. In FIG. 9A, lottery information generated when a lottery category corresponding to each prize lottery table is selected is shown in parentheses.

<4-3: Structure of Stop Table> FIG. 10 is stored in the ROM 104 and wins each of the small roles B1, B2, B3, B1, B2, and B3. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a data group TBL2 composed of individual data groups TBL21 to TBL28 corresponding to a prize, a small role C2 award, a small role C3 award, and a replay award, and each individual data group is composed of a plurality of stop tables. The ROM 104 also stores individual data groups corresponding to the BB1 award, the BB2 award, the small role A award, and the loss.

As an example, the individual data group TBL21 corresponding to the small role B1 award includes three stop tables TBL21U1, TBL21M1, and TBL21D1 as stop tables corresponding to the left reel R1 (denoted as A in the figure). In addition, three stop tables TBL21U2, TBL21M2, and TBL21D2 are provided as stop tables corresponding to the middle reel R2 (denoted as B in the figure). Further, three stop tables TBL21U3, TBL21M3, and TBL21D3 are provided as stop tables corresponding to the right reel R3 (denoted as C in the figure). The three stop tables corresponding to each of the reels R1 to R3 include a stop table for displaying the “red 7” symbol constituting the small role B1 award at the upper display position (U1) of the left reel R1 and a “bell” symbol. Stop table for stopping at upper display positions (U2, U3) of reel R2 and right reel R3, stop table for displaying “red 7” symbol at middle display position (M1) of left reel R1, and “bell” symbol at middle A stop table for stopping at the middle display position (M2, M3) of the reel R2 and the right reel R3, a stop table for displaying the “red 7” symbol at the lower display position (D1) of the left reel R1, and a “bell” symbol. This corresponds to a stop table that stops at the lower display positions (D2, D3) of the middle reel R2 and the right reel R3. These stop tables TBL21U1 to TBL21D3 (A to C in the figure) are used for any of the first stop control, the second stop control, and the third stop control.

Similarly to the small role B1 award, the stop table corresponding to each award and loser different from the small role B1 award is also the upper display position, the middle display position, and the lower display position for each of the left reel R1, the middle reel R2, and the right reel R3. Is provided with a stop table for stopping symbols corresponding to each prize. Here, in the individual data group TBL22 corresponding to the small role B2 award and the individual data group TBL23 corresponding to the small role B3 award, the stop table of the middle reel R2 and the stop table of the right reel R3 are common to the individual data group TBL21. Yes (denoted D in the figure). This is because the symbols corresponding to the middle reel R2 and the right reel R3 of the small role B1 award, the small role B2 award and the small role B3 award are the common “bell” symbols, and the middle reel R2 or the When the right reel R3 stops, the player cannot guess which of the small role B1 prize, the small role B2 prize, or the small role B3 prize is won by the stop display position of the stopped reel. Because.

Here, in the individual data group TBL24 corresponding to the case where the small roles B1, B2, and B3 are simultaneously won, the stop table for the middle reel R2 and the stop table for the right reel R3 are common to the individual data group TBL21. (Denoted as D in the figure). Further, in the individual data group TBL26 corresponding to the small role C2 award and the individual data group TBL27 corresponding to the small role C3 award, the stop table of the middle reel R2 and the stop table of the right reel R3 are common to the individual data group TBL25. (Indicated as E in the figure). This is because, when the middle reel R2 or the right reel R3 stops before the left reel R1, any of the small role C1, the small role C2 award, or the small role C3 award depends on the stop display position of the stopped reel. This is to prevent the player from guessing whether or not he has won.

FIG. 11 is an explanatory diagram showing the data structure of the stop table for each prize. In the figure, as a stop table for displaying symbols constituting a prize at the middle display position (M1) of the left reel R1, the small role B1, the small role C1, the replay prize, and the small roles B1, B2 and This compares the stop table of the B3 award (when winning the small role B1 award, the B2 award and the small role B3 award simultaneously). (A) shows the symbol arrangement of the left reel R1, and (B), (C), (D) and (E) are the stop table TBL21M1 for the small role B1 award and for the small role C2 award, respectively. Stop table TBL25M1, stop table TBL28M1 for replay prize, and stop table TBL24M1 for small roles B1, B2 and B3 (when winning the small role B1, B2 and small role B3 prizes simultaneously). The stop table stores the symbol number and the number of frames as stop data in association with each other. Only stop data is stored in the stop table in the order of symbol numbers, and the association with symbol numbers can be specified from the address position of the ROM 104 storing the stop data. Note that the stop table may store data in which the symbol number and stop data are paired.

In the slot machine 1, the symbol number PN indicating the symbol position on the reel corresponding to the reference position is obtained with the middle display position (M1 to M3) as the reference position at the timing when the stop operation instruction signals 113a to 113c are detected. “Stop operation symbol number”. In this example, the middle display position is set as the reference position. However, the reference position is a position used as a reference in the rotation of the reel (variable display of the display row), and may be any fixed position. Here, the symbol number PN indicating the symbol position on the reel corresponding to the reference position is the middle display position that is the reference position when the reel is immediately stopped at the timing when the stop operation instruction signals 113a to 113c are detected. It means a symbol number that can be displayed in (M1 to M3). The stop table stores the number of advance frames from “0” to “4” instructing to stop the rotation of the reel from the symbol position indicated by the acquired stop operation symbol number to the symbol position ahead. ing. “0” means stop at the symbol position indicated by the stop operation symbol number, and “4” means stop at the symbol position four frames ahead of the symbol position indicated by the stop operation symbol number. To do. As a result, it is possible to display at the middle display positions (M1 to M3) with the symbol corresponding to the symbol position designated by the advance frame number as the reference position. That is, the number of advance frames associated with the stop operation symbol number acquired at the timing when the stop operation instruction signals 113a to 113c are detected is obtained from the stop table. The stop data stored in the stop table only needs to be able to instruct where the symbol position should be advanced to stop the reel, so the symbol number PN to be stopped is not the number of advance frames such as “0” to “4”. May be stored. In the slot machine 1, the reference position is the middle display position (M1 to M3), but may be the upper display position or the lower display position.

In the stop table TBL21M1 for the small role B1 prize shown in FIG. 5B, when the acquired stop operation symbol numbers indicate “17” to “21”, the “red 7” symbol is displayed at the middle display position (M1). The number of frames is stored as data to be displayed. On the other hand, when the acquired stop operation symbol number indicates “1” to “16”, the “red 7” symbol is not in the symbol position four frames ahead of the symbol position indicated by the stop operation symbol number, so the middle display The “red 7” symbol cannot be displayed at the position (M1), and the number of frames is stored as data so that another symbol different from the “red 7” symbol is displayed at the middle display position (M1). . In this example, when the “red 7” symbol cannot be displayed at the middle display position (M1), the “plum” symbol, the “watermelon” symbol, or the “orange” symbol is displayed at the middle display position (M1) according to the stop operation symbol number. ). When other symbols are displayed at the middle display position (M1), none of the “red cherry”, “blue cherry”, and “black cherry” symbols are displayed at the upper, middle, and lower display positions. Stop data that stops at the position. This means that if any of the “red cherry”, “blue cherry”, and “black cherry” symbols is displayed in the upper, middle or lower display position, the small role C1 award, small This is to prevent winning because the winning combination C2 prize or small role C3 prize will be won.

In the stop table TBL25M1 for the small role C2 prize shown in FIG. 5C, when the acquired stop operation symbol numbers indicate “7” to “11”, the “red cherry” symbol is displayed at the middle display position (M1). The number of frames is stored as data to be displayed. On the other hand, when the acquired stop operation symbol numbers indicate “1” to “6” and “12” to “21”, the “red cherry” symbol cannot be displayed at the middle display position (M1). The number of frames is stored as data so that the symbol is displayed at the middle display position (M1). In this example, when the “red cherry” symbol cannot be displayed at the middle display position (M1), the “plum” symbol is displayed at the middle display position (M1). Further, when other symbols are displayed at the middle display position (M1), stop data that stops at a position where neither the “blue cherry” symbol nor the “black cherry” symbol is displayed at the upper, middle, or lower display positions. It has become. This means that if any one of the “blue cherry” and “black cherry” symbols is displayed in the upper, middle or lower display position, it will win the small role C2 award or small role C3 award. This is to prevent the winning.

The re-game award stop table TBL28M1 shown in FIG. 4D is data so that the “plum” symbol is displayed at the middle display position (M1) regardless of which of the acquired stop operation symbol numbers is indicated. As the number of frames. In addition, when the “Plum” symbol is displayed at the middle display position (M1), none of the “Red Cherry” symbol, the “Blue Cherry” symbol, and the “Black Cherry” symbol is displayed at the upper, middle and lower display positions. The stop data stops at the position. This means that if any of the “red cherry”, “blue cherry”, and “black cherry” symbols is displayed in the upper, middle or lower display position, the small role C1 award, small This is to prevent winning because the winning combination C2 prize or small role C3 prize will be won.

In the stop table TBL24M1 of the small roles B1, B2 and B3 prizes (when winning the small role B1, B2 and B3 prizes at the same time) shown in FIG. 5E, the acquired stop operation symbol number is “17”. When “21” is indicated, the number of frames is stored as data so that the “red 7” symbol is displayed at the middle display position (M1). In addition, when the acquired stop operation symbol numbers indicate “10” to “14”, the number of frames is stored as data so that the “black bar” symbol is displayed at the middle display position (M1). Further, when the acquired stop operation symbol numbers indicate “3” to “7”, the number of frames is stored as data so that the “blue 7” symbol is displayed at the middle display position (M1). On the other hand, when the acquired stop operation symbol numbers indicate “15” to “16”, “8” to “9” and “1” to “2”, the “red 7” symbol is displayed at the middle display position (M1), The “blue 7” symbol or the “black bar” symbol cannot be displayed, and the number of frames is stored as data so that the other symbols are displayed at the middle display position (M1). In this example, the “Plum” symbol is set to be displayed at the middle display position (M1). When other symbols are displayed at the middle display position (M1), none of the “red cherry”, “blue cherry”, and “black cherry” symbols are displayed at the upper, middle, and lower display positions. Stop data that stops at the position. This means that if any of the “red cherry”, “blue cherry”, and “black cherry” symbols is displayed in the upper, middle or lower display position, the small role C2 award or small This is for preventing the winning because the winning combination C3 is won.

<4-4: Structure of Selection Table> Since the slot machine 1 has a plurality of winning lines L1 to L5, in the game where a certain prize is won, for example, when the left reel R1 is stopped by the first stop operation, The symbols constituting the prize can be displayed as a plurality of stop display positions at any one of the upper display position (U1), the middle display position (M1), or the lower display position (D1). Therefore, it is necessary to select one stop table from the three stop tables corresponding to each display position and determine the display position. Further, when the symbol constituting the prize is displayed at the upper display position (U1) as a result of the first stop operation, the symbol constituting the prize is displayed when the middle reel R2 is stopped by the next stop operation. Can be displayed at either the upper display position (U2) or the middle display position (M2), so that one stop table can be selected from the two stop tables corresponding to each display position and displayed. Need to be determined.

On the other hand, when the symbol constituting the prize is displayed at the middle display position (M1) as a result of the first stop operation, when the middle reel R2 is stopped by the next stop operation, the symbol constituting the prize is displayed. Since the display position for displaying is limited to the middle display position (M2), one stop table corresponding to the display position can be specified. In the last stop operation, the winning line that can be won in the immediately preceding stop operation is specified as one, and the display position for displaying the symbols constituting the prize is limited to one. Therefore, the one corresponding to the display position is displayed. The stop table can be specified.

Thus, in the first reel stop control (first stop control) and the next reel stop control (second stop control), there may be a plurality of selectable stop tables. A selection table for designating one of the stop tables.

FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating a data structure of the data group TBL3. The data group TBL3 is stored in the ROM 104, and is composed of individual data groups TBL31 to TBL38 corresponding to each award and loss. The ROM 104 also stores individual data groups corresponding to the BB1 award, the BB2 award, the small role A award, and the loss.

Individual data group TB corresponding to small role B1 award
In L31, a selection table corresponding to the left reel R1 is selected to display a symbol composing a prize at any one of the upper, middle and lower display positions for use in the first stop control or the second stop control. A table TBL311 and a selection table TBL312 for displaying a symbol constituting a prize at any of the upper and lower display positions are provided (described as A in the figure) as used in the second stop control.

Furthermore, a selection table corresponding to the middle reel R2, which is used in the first stop control, is provided with a selection table TBL313 for displaying symbols constituting a prize at any one of the upper, middle and lower display positions. 2 Selection table TBL314 for displaying a symbol constituting a prize at any one of the upper and middle display positions, and a selection table for displaying a symbol constituting a prize at any of the middle or lower display positions, as used in the stop control. TBL315 is provided (denoted as B in the figure). Further, a selection table corresponding to the right reel R3, which is used for the first stop control or the second stop control, and displays a symbol constituting a prize at any one of the upper, middle and lower display positions. As a table used for TBL 316 and the second stop control, a selection table TBL 317 for displaying a symbol constituting a prize at any of the upper and lower display positions is provided (denoted as C in the figure).

Similarly to the small role B1 award, the stop table corresponding to each award and loss different from the small role B1 award is also the upper display position, the middle display position, or the lower display position for each of the left reel R1, the middle reel R2, and the right reel R3. One of them is provided with a selection table for displaying symbols corresponding to each prize. Here, in the individual data group TBL32 corresponding to the small role B2 award and the individual data group TBL33 corresponding to the small role B3 award, the stop table of the middle reel R2 and the selection table of the right reel R3 are common to the individual data group TBL31. Yes (denoted as D in the figure). The symbols corresponding to the medium reel R2 and the right reel R3 of the small role B1 prize, the small role B2 award and the small role B3 award are the common “bell” symbols, and the middle reel R2 or right before the left reel R1. In order to prevent the player from guessing which of the small role B1 prize, the small role B2 prize, or the small role B3 prize is won by the stop display position of the stopped reel when the reel R3 is stopped. It is.

In the individual data TBL34 corresponding to the case where the three prizes of the small role B1, the small role B2 and the small role B3 are simultaneously won, the selection table corresponding to the left reel R1, the first stop control or the second As a symbol used for stop control, either “red 7” symbol, “blue 7” symbol, or “black bar” symbol is displayed as a symbol composing three prizes in any of the upper, middle, and lower display positions. The selection table TBL 341 to be used and the second stop control, the symbols constituting “Red 7” symbol, “Blue 7” symbol, or “Black Bar” symbol as the symbols constituting three prizes at any of the upper and lower display positions. A selection table TBL342 for displaying either of them is provided (denoted as E in the figure). Here, in the individual data group TBL34 corresponding to the case where the three prizes of the small role B1, the small role B2 and the small role B3 are simultaneously won, the stop table for the middle reel R2 and the selection table for the right reel R3 are provided. Common to the individual data group TBL31 (denoted as F in the figure).

In the individual data group TBL36 corresponding to the small role C2 award and the individual data group TBL37 corresponding to the small role C3 award, the stop table of the middle reel R2 and the selection table of the right reel R3 are common to the individual data group TBL35 (FIG. Described as G). This means that when the middle reel R2 or the right reel R3 stops before the left reel R1, depending on the stop display position of the stopped reel, the small role C1 award, the small role C2 award, or the small role C3 award is selected. This is to prevent the player from guessing whether or not he has won.

FIG. 13 is an explanatory diagram showing the data structure of the selection table. The figure compares the selection table of the small role B1 award, the small role B2 award, and the small role B3 award as a selection table for selecting three stop tables when the left reel R1 is first stopped. Is. (A) shows the symbol arrangement of the left reel R1, and (B), (C), (D), and (E) show the selection table TBL311 for the small role B1 prize and the small role B2 prize, respectively. The selection table TBL321, the selection table TBL331 for the small role B3 award, and the selection table TBL341 for the case where the small roles B1, B2, and B3 awards are won simultaneously are shown. The selection table stores symbol numbers and designated data in association with each other. Only the selection data is stored in the selection table in the order of the symbol number, and the association with the symbol number can be specified from the address position of the ROM 104 storing the selection data.

FIG. 9A shows the symbol arrangement of the left reel R1, and the stop operation symbol numbers “1” and “16” to “21” are shown in the selection table TBL311 for the small role B1 prize shown in FIG. , The stop table TBL21U1, TBL21M1 or TBL21D1 is displayed so that the “red 7” symbol can be displayed at any one of the upper display position (U1), the middle display position (M1), and the lower display position (D1). Selection data “21-1” to “21-3” for instructing selection of any one of the above is stored. When the selection data indicates “21-1”, the stop table TBL21U1 is selected. When the selection data indicates “21-2”, the stop table TBL21M1 is selected, and the selection data is “21-3”. Indicates that the stop table TBL21D1 is selected. On the other hand, when the acquired stop operation symbol numbers indicate “2” to “15”, the stop table TBL21U1 is selected. However, in the range where the stop operation symbol numbers of the stop table are “2” to “15”, Since the “Red 7” symbol is not in the symbol position 4 frames ahead of the symbol position indicated by the stop operation symbol number, other symbols different from the “Red 7” symbol (however, “Red Cherry” symbol, “Blue Cherry” symbol) "Excluding symbols" and "black cherry" symbols) are displayed at predetermined stop display positions.

In the selection table TBL321 for the small role B1 prize shown in FIG. 5C, when the stop operation symbol numbers indicate “2” to “8”, the upper display position (U1) and the middle display position (M1). Alternatively, selection data “22-1” to “22-” instructing selection of one of the stop tables TBL22U1, TBL22M1, or TBL22D1 so that the “blue 7” symbol can be displayed at any one of the lower display positions (D1). 3 "is stored. When the selection data indicates “22-1”, the stop table TBL22U1 is selected. When the selection data indicates “22-2”, the stop table TBL22M1 is selected, and the selection data is “22-3”. Indicates that the stop table TBL22D1 is selected. On the other hand, when the acquired stop operation symbol numbers indicate “1” and “9” to “21”, the stop table TBL22U1 is selected, but the stop operation symbol numbers of the stop table are “1” and “9”. In the range of “21”, since the “blue 7” symbol is not in the symbol position 4 frames ahead of the symbol position indicated by the stop operation symbol number, other symbols different from the “blue 7” symbol (however, “ "Red cherry" symbol, "Blue cherry" symbol and "Black cherry" symbol) are displayed at a predetermined stop display position.

In the selection table TBL331 for the small role B1 prize shown in FIG. 4D, when the stop operation symbol numbers indicate “9” to “15”, the upper display position (U1) and the middle display position (M1). Alternatively, selection data “23-1” to “23-” instructing selection of one of the stop tables TBL23U1, TBL23M1, or TBL23D1 so that a “black bar” symbol can be displayed at any one of the lower display positions (D1). 3 "is stored.

Indicates that the stop table TBL23D1 is selected. On the other hand, when the acquired stop operation symbol numbers indicate “1” to “8” and “16” to “21”, the stop table TBL23U1 is selected, but the stop operation symbol number of the stop table is “1”. In the range of “8” and “16” to “21”, the “black bar” symbol is not in the symbol position 4 frames ahead of the symbol position indicated by the stop operation symbol number. Other different symbols (except for the “red cherry” symbol, “blue cherry” symbol, and “black cherry” symbol) are displayed at a predetermined stop display position.

In the selection table TBL341 for winning the three prizes B1, B2, and B3 at the same time shown in FIG. 5E, the stop operation symbol numbers are “1” and “16” to “21”. In this case, any of the stop tables TBL24U1, TBL24M1, or TBL24D1 is displayed so that the “red 7” symbol can be displayed at any one of the upper display position (U1), the middle display position (M1), and the lower display position (D1). Selection data “24-1” to “24-3” for instructing selection is stored. When the selection data indicates “24-1”, the stop table TBL24U1 is selected. When the selection data indicates “24-2”, the stop table TBL24M1 is selected, and the selection data is “24-3”. Indicates that the stop table TBL24D1 is selected. When the stop operation symbol number indicates “2” to “8”, the “blue 7” symbol is displayed at any one of the upper display position (U1), the middle display position (M1), or the lower display position (D1). Selection data “24-1” to “24-3” instructing selection of any one of the stop tables TBL24U1, TBL24M1, or TBL24D1 is stored so as to be displayed. When the selection data indicates “24-1”, the stop table TBL24U1 is selected. When the selection data indicates “24-2”, the stop table TBL24M1 is selected, and the selection data is “24-3”. Indicates that the stop table TBL24D1 is selected. When the designated data stop operation symbol number indicates “9” to “15”, a “black bar” is displayed at any one of the upper display position (U1), the middle display position (M1), or the lower display position (D1). Selection data “24-1” to “24-3” instructing selection of any of the stop tables TBL24U1, TBL24M1, or TBL24D1 is stored so that symbols can be displayed. When the selection data indicates “24-1”, the stop table TBL24U1 is selected. When the selection data indicates “24-2”, the stop table TBL24M1 is selected, and the selection data is “24-3”. Indicates that the stop table TBL24D1 is selected. That is, in the selection table TBL 341 for the case where three prizes of the small role B1 prize, the small role B2 prize and the small role B3 prize are simultaneously won, the “red 7” symbol and the “blue 7” symbol are displayed in all the stop operation symbol numbers. Any one of the “black bar” symbols must be displayed at any one of the upper display position (U1), the middle display position (M1), or the lower display position (D1). it can. Next, the arrangement of the “red 7” symbol, “blue 7” symbol, and “black bar” symbol on the left reel R1 will be described.

FIG. 14 is a diagram for explaining the first stop pull-in frame number and range determined from the stop display position and the pull-in frame number in the first stop control. When the left reel R1 detects a stop operation for the first time in the game winning the small role B1 prize, the upper display is performed based on the stop operation symbol number as described above for the selection table TBL311 for the small role B1 left reel. It is possible to stop the “red 7” symbol at any of the position (U1), the middle display position (M1), or the lower display position (D1), but the symbol number PN and the selection data shown in the selection table TBL311 This correspondence is an example, and the designer can appropriately set the correspondence within a predetermined range.

FIG. 6B shows a range in which the “red 7” symbol can be drawn when the left reel R1 first detects a stop operation in the game where the small role B1 prize is won. When the stop operation symbol number at the timing when the stop operation is detected is “16”, the “red 7” symbol having the symbol number PN = 21 can be displayed only at the upper display position (U1). When the stop operation symbol number at the timing when the stop operation is detected is “17”, the “red 7” symbol having the symbol number PN = 21 is displayed at the upper display position (U1) or the middle display position (M1). It can be displayed on either of them. When the stop operation symbol number at the timing when the stop operation is detected is any one of “18” to “20”, the “red 7” symbol having the symbol number PN = 21 is displayed at the upper display position (U1), It is possible to display at either the middle display position (M1) or the lower display position (D1). When the stop operation symbol number at the timing when the stop operation is detected is “21”, the “red 7” symbol having the symbol number PN = 21 is displayed at the middle display position (M1) or the lower display position (D1). It can be displayed on either of them. When the stop operation symbol number at the timing when the stop operation is detected is “1”, the “red 7” symbol with the symbol number PN = 21 can be displayed only at the lower display position (D1). is there.

From these, in the game winning the small role B1 prize, when the first stop control is performed on the left reel R1, the “red 7” symbol is obtained from the relationship between the timing when the stop operation is detected and the stop operation symbol number at that timing. Is a stop operation symbol number range that can stop at any one of a plurality of stop display positions (upper display position, middle display position, and lower display position), and “first stop pullable frame number” as the number of frames in the range; The range is as follows.

In the present embodiment, each of the reels R1 to R3 moves within the range of the number of drawn frames from the position at the timing when the reel stop buttons 13a to 13c are operated and stops. Since the number of frames to be drawn is set to 4 frames, each reel R1 to R3 can move within the range of 4 frames. For this reason, it is possible to draw a symbol to be drawn in a range of 4 frames from each stop display position of a plurality of stop display positions (upper display position, middle display position, and lower display position). Then, with respect to one stop display position, a case where the symbol is stopped without moving even one frame from the timing when the stop operation is performed is regarded as one frame, and a range of four frames in the foreground toward the stop display position. Therefore, it is within the range of the number of frames in which 5 frames can be displayed by adding 1 frame and 4 frames.

As an example, the “red 7” symbol with symbol number PN = 21 can be displayed at the upper display position because the stop operation symbol number when the symbol is stopped without moving even one frame from the timing when the stop operation is performed. Number of frames formed by combining one frame in the case of “20” and four frames in the case of stop operation symbol numbers “16” to “19” that can be moved from the range of the preceding four frames toward the symbol number. As the range, the number of frames with the stop operation symbol numbers “16” to “20” is in the range of 5 frames. In addition, the “red 7” symbol with symbol number PN = 21 can be displayed at the middle display position because the stop operation symbol number when the symbol is stopped without moving even one frame from the timing of the stop operation is “ The number of frames formed by combining one frame in the case of “21” and four frames in the case of the stop operation symbol numbers “17” to “20” that can be moved from the range of the preceding four frames toward the symbol number. The range is a range in which the number of frames with the stop operation symbol numbers “17” to “21” is 5 frames. Furthermore, the “red 7” symbol of symbol number PN = 21 can be displayed at the lower display position because the stop operation symbol number when the symbol is stopped without moving even one frame from the timing of the stop operation is “ The number of frames formed by combining one frame in the case of “1” with four frames in the case where the stop operation symbol numbers “18” to “21” that can move from the range of the preceding four frames toward the symbol number are combined. The range is a range in which the number of frames of the stop operation symbol numbers “18” to “1” is 5 frames. Here, the stop operation symbol number that can display the “red 7” symbol of symbol number PN = 21 at the upper display position and the stop operation symbol number that can be displayed at the middle display position are four frames “17” to “20”. Are duplicated. In addition, the stop operation symbol number that can be displayed at the middle display position and the stop operation symbol number that can be displayed at the lower display position overlap in four frames “18” to “21”.

Therefore, the “red 7” symbol of symbol number PN = 21 can be displayed at any one of a plurality of stop display positions (upper display position, middle display position, and lower display position). A range of the number of frames of 5 frames from “16” to “20” as symbol numbers, and a range of the number of frames of 5 frames from “17” to “21” as stop operation symbol numbers that can be displayed at the middle display position, Stop operation that can be displayed at the upper display position from the number of frames of 15 frames, which is simply the sum of the number of frame numbers of “18” to “1” that are the stop operation symbol numbers that can be displayed at the lower display position. The range of the number of frames of “17” to “20” that overlaps the stop operation symbol number that can be displayed at the symbol number and the middle display position, and the stop operation symbol number that can be displayed at the middle display position and the lower symbol display position. Possible stop operation pattern Duplicate "18" - which is simply the number of frames 7 pieces of the result of subtracting the number of the range number of frames of the four frames of "21" with No.. That is, the first stop pullable frame number and range in which the “red 7” symbol having the symbol number PN = 21 can stop at any one of a plurality of stop display positions (upper display position, middle display position, and lower display position) The stop operation symbol number for the number of frames of 7 frames is in the range of “16” to “1”.

As described above, the range of stop operation symbol numbers that can be stopped at any one of a plurality of stop display positions (upper display position, middle display position, and lower display position) and the “first” as the number of frames in the range. The “stoppable number of frames” (allowable frame number) corresponds to the maximum number of frames to each stop display position after simply adding the maximum number of frames that draws a predetermined symbol to each stop display position. This can be obtained by subtracting the number of frames in the overlapping portion of the pull-in range. In other words, it is the sum of the number of drawn frames (4) and the number of stop display positions (3). Further, the range of “the number of first stop pullable frames” includes all stop operation symbol numbers included in the pull-in range to each stop display position among the plurality of stop display positions.

FIG. 6C shows a range in which the “blue 7” symbol can be drawn when the left reel R1 first detects a stop operation in the game where the small role B2 prize is won. When the stop operation symbol number at the timing when the stop operation is detected is “2”, the “blue 7” symbol having the symbol number PN = 7 can be displayed only at the upper display position (U1). When the stop operation symbol number at the timing when the stop operation is detected is “3”, the “blue 7” symbol having the symbol number PN = 7 is displayed at the upper display position (U1) or the middle display position (M1). It can be displayed on either of them. When the stop operation symbol number at the timing when the stop operation is detected is any one of “4” to “6”, the “blue 7” symbol having the symbol number PN = 7 is displayed at the upper display position (U1), It is possible to display at either the middle display position (M1) or the lower display position (D1). When the stop operation symbol number at the timing when the stop operation is detected is “7”, the “blue 7” symbol having the symbol number PN = 7 is displayed at the middle display position (M1) or the lower display position (D1). It can be displayed on either of them. When the stop operation symbol number at the timing when the stop operation is detected is “8”, the “blue 7” symbol having the symbol number PN = 7 can be displayed only at the lower display position (D1). is there.

From these, in the game that won the small role B1 prize, when the first stop pullable frame number and range when the first stop control is performed in the left reel R1, the “blue 7” symbol of symbol number PN = 7 is obtained. Can be displayed at the upper display position when the stop operation symbol number is “6” when the symbol is stopped without moving even one frame from the timing when the stop operation is performed, and the symbol number As a range of the number of frames formed by combining the four frames when the stop operation symbol numbers “2” to “5” that can be moved from the range of the previous four frames are the stop operation symbol numbers “2” to “ The number of frames of “6” is in the range of 5 frames. In addition, the “blue 7” symbol of symbol number PN = 7 can be displayed at the middle display position because the stop operation symbol number when the symbol is stopped without moving even one frame from the timing of the stop operation is “ The number of frames formed by combining one frame in the case of “7” and four frames in the case of the stop operation symbol numbers “3” to “6” that can be moved from the range of the preceding four frames toward the symbol number. The range is a range in which the number of frames with the stop operation symbol numbers “3” to “7” is 5 frames. Furthermore, the “blue 7” symbol of symbol number PN = 7 can be displayed at the lower display position because the stop operation symbol number when the symbol is stopped without moving even one frame from the timing of the stop operation is “ The number of frames formed by combining one frame in the case of “8” and four frames in the case of the stop operation symbol numbers “4” to “7” that can move from the range of the preceding four frames toward the symbol number. The range is a range in which the number of frames of the stop operation symbol numbers “4” to “8” is 5 frames. Here, the stop operation symbol number that can display the “blue 7” symbol of symbol number PN = 7 at the upper display position and the stop operation symbol number that can be displayed at the middle display position are four frames from “3” to “6”. Are duplicated. In addition, the stop operation symbol number that can be displayed at the middle display position and the stop operation symbol number that can be displayed at the lower display position overlap in four frames “4” to “7”.

Therefore, the “blue 7” symbol of symbol number PN = 7 can be displayed at any one of a plurality of stop display positions (upper display position, middle display position, and lower display position). A range of the number of frames of 5 frames from “2” to “6” as symbol numbers, and a range of the number of frames from 5 frames of “3” to “7” as stop operation symbol numbers that can be displayed at the middle display position, Stop operation that can be displayed at the upper display position from the number of frames of 15 frames, which is simply the total of the number of frame numbers of “4” to “8” that are the stop operation symbol numbers that can be displayed at the lower display position. The range of the number of frames of “3” to “6” that overlaps the stop operation symbol number that can be displayed at the symbol number and the middle display position, and the stop operation symbol number that can be displayed at the middle display position and the lower symbol display position. Can be duplicated with stop operation symbol number 4 "- is simply the number of frames 7 pieces of the result of subtracting the number of the range number of frames of the four frames of" 7 ". That is, the first stop pullable frame number and range in which the “blue 7” symbol having the symbol number PN = 7 can stop at any one of a plurality of stop display positions (upper display position, middle display position, and lower display position) The stop operation symbol number for the number of frames of 7 frames is in the range of “2” to “8”.

FIG. 4D shows a range in which the “black bar” symbol can be drawn when the left reel R1 first detects a stop operation in the game where the small role B3 prize is won. When the stop operation symbol number at the timing when the stop operation is detected is “9”, the “black bar” symbol with the symbol number PN = 14 can be displayed only at the upper display position (U1). When the stop operation symbol number at the timing when the stop operation is detected is “10”, the “black bar” symbol having the symbol number PN = 14 is displayed at the upper display position (U1) or the middle display position (M1). It can be displayed on either of them. When the stop operation symbol number at the timing when the stop operation is detected is any one of “11” to “13”, the “black bar” symbol having the symbol number PN = 14 is displayed in the upper display position (U1), It is possible to display at either the middle display position (M1) or the lower display position (D1). When the stop operation symbol number at the timing when the stop operation is detected is “14”, the “black bar” symbol with the symbol number PN = 14 is displayed at the middle display position (M1) or the lower display position (D1). It can be displayed on either of them. When the stop operation symbol number at the timing when the stop operation is detected is “15”, the “black bar” symbol having the symbol number PN = 14 can be displayed only at the lower display position (D1). is there.

From these, in the game winning the small role B3 prize, when the first stop pullable frame number and range when the first stop control is performed on the left reel R1, the “black bar” symbol of symbol number PN = 14 is obtained. Can be displayed at the upper display position when the stop operation symbol number is “13” when the symbol is stopped without moving even one frame from the timing of the stop operation, and the symbol number The stop operation symbol numbers “9” to “9” are the range of the number of frames formed by combining the four frames when the stop operation symbol numbers “9” to “12” that can be moved from the range of the previous four frames. The number of frames of “13” is in the range of 5 frames. In addition, the “black bar” symbol of symbol number PN = 14 can be displayed at the middle display position because the stop operation symbol number when the symbol is stopped without moving even one frame from the timing of the stop operation is “ The number of frames formed by combining one frame in the case of “14” and four frames in the case of the stop operation symbol numbers “10” to “13” that can be moved from the range of the preceding four frames toward the symbol number. The range is a range in which the number of frames of the stop operation symbol numbers “10” to “14” is 5 frames. Furthermore, the “black bar” symbol with symbol number PN = 14 can be displayed at the lower display position because the stop operation symbol number when the symbol is stopped without moving even one frame from the timing of the stop operation is “ The number of frames formed by combining one frame in the case of “15” with four frames in the case of the stop operation symbol numbers “11” to “14” that can be moved from the range of the preceding four frames toward the symbol number. The range is a range in which the number of frames with the stop operation symbol numbers “11” to “15” is 5 frames. Here, the stop operation symbol number that can display the “black bar” symbol of symbol number PN = 14 at the upper display position and the stop operation symbol number that can be displayed at the middle display position are four frames “10” to “13”. Are duplicated. In addition, the stop operation symbol number that can be displayed at the middle display position and the stop operation symbol number that can be displayed at the lower display position overlap in four frames “11” to “14”.

Accordingly, the “black bar” symbol of symbol number PN = 14 can be displayed at any one of a plurality of stop display positions (upper display position, middle display position, and lower display position). A range of the number of frames of 5 frames of symbol numbers “9” to “13”, a range of the number of frames of 5 frames of “10” to “14” that are stop operation symbol numbers that can be displayed at the middle display position, Stop operation that can be displayed at the upper display position from the number of frames of 15 frames, which is simply the sum of the numbers of the frame numbers of “11” to “15” that are the stop operation symbol numbers that can be displayed at the lower display position. The range of the number of four frames “10” to “13” that overlap the symbol number and the stop operation symbol number that can be displayed at the middle display position, and the stop operation symbol number that can be displayed at the middle display position and the lower display position. Stop operation diagram Duplicate the numbers "11" - which is simply the number of frames 7 pieces of the result of subtracting the number of the range number of frames of the four frames of "14". That is, the first stop pullable frame number and range in which the “black bar” symbol having the symbol number PN = 14 can be stopped at any one of a plurality of stop display positions (upper display position, middle display position, and lower display position) The stop operation symbol numbers for the number of frames of 7 frames are in the range of “9” to “15”.

The range of the first stop pullable frame number in the game won in the small role B1 prize in FIG. 5B and the first stop pullable frame number range in the game won in the small role B2 prize in FIG. And the range of the number of first stop pullable frames in the game won in the small role B3 prize of FIG. 4D, the range of symbol numbers that overlap while each symbol number range is adjacent to each other. not exist. This is because in a game in which the lottery information is one of the small role B1 prize, the small role B2 prize or the small role B3 prize, the player does not know the type of prize that is won as the lottery information, If the stop operation corresponding to the left reel R1 is first performed, the “red 7” symbol, the “blue 7” symbol, or the “black bar” at the rate of “1/3” of the total timing of the stop operation. While the symbol corresponding to the selected prize type can be stopped at any one of the multiple stop display positions (upper display position, middle display position, or lower display position), all timings when the stop operation is performed Among them, there is an effect that the symbol corresponding to the type of the winning prize at the rate of “2/3” cannot be stopped at any of the plurality of stop display positions. In this way, the arrangement is such that the ranges of the number of first stop pullable frames are adjacent to each other and the ranges of the number of first stop pullable frames are not overlapped with each other on a predetermined reel of each symbol of the plurality of prizes. Is referred to as “alternative symbol arrangement” for each symbol of the plurality of prizes. That is, in the left reel R1, the arrangement of the “red 7” symbol of the small role B1 award, the “blue 7” symbol of the small role B2 award, and the “black bar” symbol of the small role B3 award is “alternative”. "Design arrangement".

Returning to FIG. FIG. 5E shows a selection table TBL341 for winning three small prizes, the small role B1 prize, the small role B2 prize, and the small role B3 prize. Any one of the “Red 7”, “Blue 7”, and “Black Bar” symbols, which are the symbols of the B3 award, are displayed at a plurality of stop display positions (upper display position, middle display position, and lower display). Position). That is, in the game in which the three prizes of the small role B1, the small role B2 and the small role B3 are simultaneously won, the stop control is permitted to enter the small role B1, the small role B2 and the small role B3. Therefore, when the first stop control is performed on the left reel R1, any one of the “red 7” symbol, the “blue 7” symbol and the “black bar” symbol which are “alternative symbol arrangement” is selected. Only the symbol is always stopped at one of a plurality of stop display positions. Therefore, the “alternative symbol arrangement” is a reel stop operation that is the first stop control in a game in which only a prize corresponding to one symbol is selected among the symbols subject to the “alternative symbol arrangement”. While the ratio of the winning symbols that can be stopped at any of the multiple stop display positions among all the timings to be performed can be reduced by the number of symbols that are subject to “alternative symbol placement” , Among the symbols subject to “alternative symbol placement”, in a game that wins a prize corresponding to all symbols, a plurality of winning prizes out of all timings at which the reel stop operation is performed as the first stop control. Any one of the symbols can be stopped at any one of the plurality of stop display positions.

FIG. 15 is an explanatory diagram showing the data structure of the selection table for the small role C1 award, the small role C2 award, and the small role C3 award. The figure compares the selection table of the small role B1 award, the small role B2 award, and the small role B3 award as a selection table for selecting three stop tables when the left reel R1 is first stopped. Is. FIG. 6A shows the symbol arrangement of the left reel R1, and FIGS. 4B, 4C, and 4D show a selection table TBL351 for the small role C1 award and a selection table TBL361 for the small role C2 award, respectively. And a selection table TBL371 for the small role C3 prize.

In the selection table TBL351 for the small role C1 prize shown in FIG. 5B, when the stop operation symbol numbers indicate “6” to “12”, the upper display position (U1) and the middle display position (M1). Alternatively, selection data “25-1” to “25-” instructing selection of one of the stop tables TBL25U1, TBL25M1, or TBL25D1 so that the “red cherry” symbol can be displayed at any one of the lower display positions (D1). 3 "is stored. When the selection data indicates “25-1”, the stop table TBL25U1 is selected. When the selection data indicates “25-2”, the stop table TBL25M1 is selected, and the selection data is “25-3”. Indicates that the stop table TBL25D1 is selected. On the other hand, when the acquired stop operation symbol numbers indicate “1” to “5” and “13” to “21”, the stop table TBL21U1 is selected, but the stop operation symbol number of the stop table is “1”. In the range of “5” and “13” to “21”, the “red cherry” symbol is not in the symbol position four symbols ahead of the symbol position indicated by the stop operation symbol number. Other different symbols (except for the “blue cherry” symbol and the “black cherry” symbol) are displayed at a predetermined stop display position.

In the selection table TBL361 for the small role C2 prize shown in FIG. 5C, when the stop operation symbol numbers indicate “13” to “19”, the upper display position (U1) and the middle display position (M1). Alternatively, selection data “26-1” to “26-” instructing selection of any of the stop tables TBL26U1, TBL26M1, or TBL26D1 so that the “blue cherry” symbol can be displayed at any of the lower display positions (D1). 3 "is stored. When the selection data indicates “26-1”, the stop table TBL26U1 is selected. When the selection data indicates “26-2”, the stop table TBL26M1 is selected, and the selection data is “26-3”. Indicates that the stop table TBL26D1 is selected. On the other hand, when the acquired stop operation symbol numbers indicate “1” to “12” and “20” to “21”, the stop table TBL26U1 is selected, but the stop operation symbol number of the stop table is “1”. In the range of “12” and “20” to “21”, the “blue cherry” symbol is not in the symbol position four frames ahead of the symbol position indicated by the stop operation symbol number. Other different symbols (except for the “red cherry” symbol and the “black cherry” symbol) are displayed at a predetermined stop display position.

In the selection table TBL 371 for the small role C3 prize shown in FIG. 4D, when the stop operation symbol numbers indicate “1” to “5” and “20” to “21”, the upper display position (U1 ), Selection data “indicating selection of the stop table TBL27U1, TBL27M1, or TBL27D1 so that the“ black cherry ”symbol can be displayed at either the middle display position (M1) or the lower display position (D1). 27-1 "to" 27-3 "are stored. When the selection data indicates “27-1”, the stop table TBL27U1 is selected. When the selection data indicates “27-2”, the stop table TBL27M1 is selected, and the selection data is “27-3”. Indicates that the stop table TBL27D1 is selected. On the other hand, when the acquired stop operation symbol numbers indicate “6” to “19”, the stop table TBL27U1 is selected. In the range where the stop operation symbol numbers of the stop table are “6” to “19”, Since the “Black Cherry” symbol is not in the symbol position 4 frames ahead of the symbol position indicated by the stop operation symbol number, other symbols different from the “Black Cherry” symbol (however, “Red Cherry” symbol and “Blue Cherry” symbol) "Excluding symbols") is displayed at a predetermined stop display position.

Here, the range of the number of first stop pullable frames in the game won in the small role C1 prize in FIG. 5B and the first stop pullable frame in the game won in the small role C2 prize in FIG. Comparing the range of numbers with the range of the number of first stop pullable frames in the game won in the small role C3 prize of FIG. (D), each symbol number range is adjacent to each other, but overlapping symbol numbers There is no range. In the left reel R1, the arrangement of the “red cherry” symbol of the small role C1, the “blue cherry” symbol of the small role C2 and the “black cherry” symbol of the small role C3 award is “alternative”. It is shown that it is “design symbol arrangement”. Therefore, in a game in which the lottery information is one of the small role C1 prize, the small role C2 prize, or the small role C3 prize, the player does not know the type of the winning prize as the lottery information, If the stop operation corresponding to the left reel R1 is first performed, the “red cherry” symbol, the “blue cherry” symbol, or the “black cherry” symbol at the rate of “1/3” of the total timing of the stop manipulation. While the symbol corresponding to the type of winning prize can be stopped at any one of the multiple stop display positions (upper display position, middle display position, or lower display position) Among them, there is an effect that the symbol corresponding to the type of prize won at the rate of “2/3” cannot be stopped at any of the plurality of stop display positions. Subsequently, the arrangement of the symbols of the small role B1 award, the small role B2 award and the small role B3 award and the symbols of the small role C1 award, the small role C2 award and the small role C3 award will be described. In the present embodiment, the symbol arrangement of the small role B1 award, the small role B2 award and the small role B3 award and the symbol of the small role C1 award, the small role C2 award and the small role C3 award are roughly divided into two. Setting is performed from two concepts (first concept and second concept).

<4-4-1: First Concept> FIG. 16 shows the symbols of the small role B1, the small role B2, and the small role B3 and the small role C1, the small role C2, and the small role C3. It is a figure explaining the 1st concept in setting the arrangement | positioning of this symbol. As a first concept, in this embodiment, the symbol of the winning prize by the internal lottery is drawn so that the target symbol is always drawn when the target symbol is located in the drawing range of four frames as the number of drawable frames. Set the placement. However, this is not the case in the BB carryover game, but it is not necessary to explain it in the implementation of the present invention, so the explanation in the BB carryover game is omitted.

FIG. 2A shows the symbol arrangement of the left reel R1. FIG. 5B shows a symbol that stops at a plurality of stop display positions when the “red 7” symbol stops at any one of the plurality of stop display positions. In the game winning the small role B1 award, even if the “red 7” symbol of symbol number PN = 21 is displayed at any of the upper display position, middle display position, or lower display position, a plurality of stop displays The symbols that stop at the positions are only symbols arranged in symbol numbers “1” to “2” and “19” to “21”, and the symbol numbers “1” to “2” and “19” to “19”. In “21”, the “red cherry” symbol, the “blue cherry” symbol, and the “black cherry” symbol are not arranged.

Specifically, even when the “red 7” symbol of symbol number PN = 21 is stopped at the upper display position, the “red cherry” symbol, the “blue cherry” symbol, and the “black” are displayed at the middle display position and the lower display position. In order not to display any of the “Cherry” symbols, any of the “Red Cherry” symbol, “Blue Cherry” symbol, or “Black Cherry” symbol from the “Red 7” symbol of symbol number PN = 21 up to two frames below. The “blue cherry” symbol was placed three frames ahead without placing it. In addition, even when the “red 7” symbol of symbol number PN = 21 stops at the lower display position, the “red cherry” symbol, the “blue cherry” symbol, and the “black cherry” symbol at the upper and middle display positions. Neither “Red Cherry” symbol, “Blue Cherry” symbol, nor “Black Cherry” symbol is placed up to 2 frames ahead from the “Red 7” symbol of symbol number PN = 21. In addition, a “black cherry” symbol was placed four frames ahead. That is, neither the “red cherry” symbol, the “blue cherry” symbol, or the “black cherry” symbol is placed at the top and bottom of the “red 7” symbol with symbol number PN = 21. One of the “red cherry” symbol, “blue cherry” symbol, and “black cherry” symbol was placed three or four frames below.

FIG. 6C shows a symbol that stops at a plurality of stop display positions when the “blue 7” symbol stops at any one of the plurality of stop display positions. In the game winning the small role B2 award, even if the “blue 7” symbol of symbol number PN = 7 is displayed at any one of the upper display position, the middle display position, or the lower display position, a plurality of stop displays The symbols that stop at the position are only symbols with the symbol numbers “5” to “9”. The symbol numbers “1” to “4” and “10” to “21” have “red cherry” "," Blue cherry ", and" black cherry "are not placed.

Specifically, even when the “blue 7” symbol of symbol number PN = 7 stops at the upper display position, the “red cherry”, “blue cherry” and “black” symbols are displayed at the middle display position and the lower display position. In order not to display any of the “Cherry” symbols, the “Red 7” symbol, the “Blue Cherry” symbol, and the “Black Cherry” symbol are all two frames down from the “Blue 7” symbol with the symbol number PN = 7. The “black cherry” design was placed three frames ahead without placing it. Even when the “blue 7” symbol of symbol number PN = 7 is stopped at the lower display position, the “red cherry” symbol, the “blue cherry” symbol, and the “black cherry” symbol are displayed at the upper and middle display positions. Neither “Red Cherry” symbol, “Blue Cherry” symbol, nor “Black Cherry” symbol is placed up to 2 frames from the “Blue 7” symbol with symbol number PN = 7. In addition, a “red cherry” symbol was placed 4 frames ahead. That is, neither the “red cherry” symbol, the “blue cherry” symbol, or the “black cherry” symbol is placed at the top and bottom of the “blue 7” symbol of symbol number PN = 7, One of the “red cherry” symbol, “blue cherry” symbol, and “black cherry” symbol was placed three or four frames below.

FIG. 4D shows a symbol that stops at a plurality of stop display positions when the “black bar” symbol stops at any one of the plurality of stop display positions. In the game that won the small role B3 prize, even if the “black bar” symbol of symbol number PN = 14 is displayed at any of the upper display position, middle display position, or lower display position, a plurality of stop displays The symbols that stop at the position are only symbols with symbol numbers “12” to “16”, and symbols “1” to “11” and “17” to “21” have “red cherry” "," Blue cherry ", and" black cherry "are not placed.

Specifically, even when the “black bar” symbol of symbol number PN = 14 is stopped at the upper display position, the “red cherry”, “blue cherry”, and “black” symbols are displayed at the middle display position and the lower display position. In order not to display any of the “Cherry” symbols, the “Red Cherry” symbol, the “Blue Cherry” symbol, and the “Black Cherry” symbol from the “Black Bar” symbol with the symbol number PN = 14 up to two frames below. The “red cherry” symbol was placed three frames ahead without placing it. Even when the “black bar” symbol of symbol number PN = 14 is stopped at the lower display position, the “red cherry” symbol, the “blue cherry” symbol, and the “black cherry” symbol are displayed at the upper and middle display positions. Neither “Red Cherry” symbol, “Blue Cherry” symbol, nor “Black Cherry” symbol is placed up to 2 frames from the “Black Bar” symbol with symbol number PN = 14. In addition, a “blue cherry” symbol was placed 4 frames ahead. That is, neither the “red cherry” symbol, the “blue cherry” symbol, or the “black cherry” symbol is placed at the top and bottom of the “black bar” symbol of symbol number PN = 14. One of the “red cherry” symbol, “blue cherry” symbol, and “black cherry” symbol was placed three or four frames below.

Here, the “Red Cherry” design, the “Blue Cherry” design, and the “Black Cherry” design are displayed 3 or 4 frames above and below the “Red 7” design, the “Blue 7” design, and the “Black Bar” design. The reason why any of the symbols is arranged will be described. Since the “red 7” symbol, the “blue 7” symbol, and the “black bar” symbol are “alternative symbol arrangements”, this is the first alternative symbol arrangement. In addition, since the “red cherry” symbol, the “blue cherry” symbol, and the “black cherry” symbol are also “alternative symbol arrangements”, this is the second alternative symbol arrangement. Therefore, the symbols (“red 7” symbol, “blue 7” symbol and “black bar” symbol) subject to the first alternative symbol arrangement and the symbols (““ The “red cherry” symbol, “blue cherry” symbol, and “black cherry” symbol) are alternately arranged in the order of symbol number numbers, so that the symbols of the first alternative symbol arrangement and the second alternative symbol arrangement are arranged. The “alternative symbol arrangement” of both symbols can be maintained. However, as described above, the position of the symbol is set so that the symbol of the winning prize by the internal lottery can be drawn whenever the target symbol is located in the drawing range of four frames as the number of drawable frames. Therefore, it is necessary to release more than two frames upward and downward from the “red 7” symbol, “blue 7” symbol and “black bar” symbol which are the symbols of the first alternative symbol arrangement. , The symbol (“red 7” symbol, “blue 7” symbol, “black bar” symbol) that is the target of the first alternative symbol arrangement and the symbol (“red” that is the target of the second alternative symbol arrangement) The “cherry” symbol, the “blue cherry” symbol, and the “black cherry” symbol) need to be alternately arranged in the order of the symbol numbers. In order to maintain these, as a frame approximately in the middle between the symbols of the first alternative symbol arrangement, 3 frames ahead or 4 frames ahead and below the symbol of the first alternative symbol arrangement A symbol of the second alternative symbol arrangement was placed in

<4-4-2: Second Concept> FIG. 17 shows the symbols of the small role B1 award, the small role B2 award and the small role B3 award, the small role C1 award, the small role C2 award and the small role C3 award. It is a figure explaining the 2nd concept in setting the arrangement | positioning of this symbol. In the present invention, as described above, when the game type is the RT game and the RT game which is not in the AT state or the AT state, the winning combination is one of the small role C1 prize, the small role C2 prize, and the small role C3 prize. In this case, the RT game and the RT game that is not in the AT state or the AT state are terminated, and the normal game is executed from the next game. Therefore, since the RT game and the RT game that is not in the AT state or the AT state are more advantageous than the normal game for the player, the RT game and the RT game that is not in the AT state or the AT state are the small role C1, the small role C2, and the small role. I want to stop the C3 prize so that I won't win any of the prizes. Therefore, as a second concept, an arrangement of symbols is set that enables a stop operation so as not to win the small role C1 prize, the small role C2 prize, and the small role C3 prize.

FIG. 4A shows the symbol arrangement of the left reel R1. FIG. 7B shows the range of the number of first stop pullable frames of the “red cherry” symbol of the left reel R1 in the game winning the small role C1 prize. That is, when the stop operation symbol number indicates “6” to “12”, the “red cherry” symbol is displayed at any one of the upper display position (U1), the middle display position (M1), and the lower display position (D1). indicate. FIG. 5C shows the range of the number of first stop pullable frames of the “red 7” symbol of the left reel R1 in the game winning the small role B1 prize. That is, when the stop operation symbol numbers indicate “1” and “16” to “21”, “red” is displayed in any of the upper display position (U1), the middle display position (M1), or the lower display position (D1). 7 ”The symbol is displayed. FIG. 4D shows the range of the number of first stop pullable frames of the “blue 7” symbol of the left reel R1 in the game winning the small role B2 prize. That is, when the stop operation symbol number indicates “2” to “8”, the “blue 7” symbol is displayed at any one of the upper display position (U1), the middle display position (M1), or the lower display position (D1). indicate. FIG. 9E shows the range of the number of first stop pullable frames of the “black bar” symbol of the left reel R1 in the game won the small role B3 prize. That is, when the stop operation symbol number indicates “9” to “15”, the “black bar” symbol is displayed at any one of the upper display position (U1), the middle display position (M1), or the lower display position (D1). indicate.

Here, in FIG. 5B, in order to perform the stop operation so as not to win the small role C1 prize, the “red cherry” symbol of symbol number PN = 11 is not displayed at any of the plurality of stop display positions. The stop operation may be performed at the timing. In other words, the stop operation may be performed at the timing when the symbol numbers “1” to “5” and “13” to “21” are set as the stop operation symbol numbers. However, since the “red cherry” symbol of symbol number PN = 11 is not particularly large compared to other symbols different from the “red cherry” symbol, when the left reel R1 is variably displayed (rotating), It is difficult to identify the “red cherry” design. On the other hand, the “blue 7” symbol with symbol number PN = 7, the “black bar” symbol with symbol number PN = 14, and the “red 7” symbol with symbol number PN = 21 are as described above (see FIG. 3). Reference), which is easier to visually recognize during variable display than other symbols different from the three symbols. That is, when the left reel R1 is variably displayed (rotating), the “blue 7” symbol of symbol number PN = 7, the “black bar” symbol of symbol number PN = 14, and “red 7” of symbol number PN = 21 It is easy to identify symbols.

Here, the player performing the stop operation by identifying the “red 7” symbol of symbol number PN = 21 is the “red” of the left reel R1 in the game that won the small role B1 prize in FIG. 7 ”is the same as performing the stop operation at the timing when the range of the first stop pullable frame number of the symbol is set to the stop operation symbol number. In addition, the player performing the stop operation by identifying the “blue 7” symbol of symbol number PN = 7 means that “blue 7” of the left reel R1 is selected in the game where the small role B2 prize is won in FIG. It is the same as performing the stop operation at a timing when the range of the number of first stop pullable symbols of the symbol is set to the stop operation symbol number. Further, the player performing the stop operation by identifying the “black bar” symbol of symbol number PN = 14 is the “black bar” of the left reel R1 in the game where the small role B3 prize is won in FIG. It is the same as performing the stop operation at a timing when the range of the number of first stop pullable symbols of the symbol is set to the stop operation symbol number.

Here, the number of frames that can be drawn into the first stop of the “red cherry” symbol in FIG. 5B (the symbol numbers are “6” to “12”) and the first “red 7” symbol in FIG. Comparing the number of stop pullable frames (design numbers “1” and “16” to “21”), the range of the first stop pullable frame count overlaps for the “Red Cherry” symbol and the “Red 7” symbol. Not done. Also, the range of the number of frames that can be drawn in the first stop for the “Red Cherry” symbol and the “Red 7” symbol is 3 frames apart at the position shown in FIG. 4 frames apart at the position. Since each reel has “21” frames, the first stop pull-in number for the “red cherry” symbol is “7” and the first stop pull-in number for the “red 7” symbol is “ It can be said that the remaining number of frames “7” obtained by subtracting the number of frames “7” is equally allocated in the direction along the reel rotation direction and the direction opposite to the direction (however, “7” is Because it is an odd number, the integer is not equally divisible and there is a remainder of “1”).

That is, the symbols are arranged at positions that are farthest from the range of the first stop pullable frame number of the “red cherry” symbol and the range of the first stop pullable frame number of the “red 7” symbol. . In addition, since the first stop pullable frame number is the same for the “red 7” symbol and the “red cherry” symbol, the position where the first stop pullable frame number range of both symbols is most separated is It can also be said that the “red 7” symbol and the “red cherry” symbol are arranged in the most spaced frames in both the direction along the reel rotation direction and the opposite direction. This is the number of frames shown in (c) in the figure, and the number of frames of “19” is equally allocated. From the “Red 7” symbol, “9” toward the lower side in the reel rotation direction. The number of frames of “10” is separated, and the number of frames of “10” is separated in the direction opposite to the downward direction (“19” is an odd number, so an integer is not evenly divisible and there is a remainder of “1”) .

In this way, the symbols are arranged at positions where the range of the first stop pullable frame number of the “red cherry” symbol and the range of the first stop pullable frame number of the “red 7” symbol are most separated ( In other words, the “red 7” symbol and the “red cherry” symbol are arranged in the most separated frame in both the direction along the reel rotation direction and the direction opposite to the direction of the reel). In the game won in the award, by performing the stop operation at the same timing as the operation in the range of the first stop pullable frame of the “red 7” symbol in the game won in the small role B1 prize, It is possible to avoid winning the small role C1 award without displaying the symbol at any of the plurality of stop display positions.

In addition, the number of frames that can be drawn into the first stop of the “red cherry” symbol in FIG. 5B (the symbol numbers are “6” to “12”) and the first stop of the “blue 7” symbol in FIG. Comparing the number of frames that can be drawn (the symbol numbers are “2” to “8”), the range of the first stop pullable frame between the “red cherry” symbol and the “blue 7” symbol is the symbol number “6”. ] To “8”. Therefore, in the game winning the small role C1 prize, the stop operation is detected at the timing when the range of the first stop pullable frame number of the “blue 7” symbol in the game winning the small role B2 prize is set as the stop operation symbol number. In some cases, the “Red Cherry” symbol of the small role C1 award may be won at the small role C1 award by stopping at any one of a plurality of stop display positions. However, when the left reel R1 is variably displayed (rotating), the “blue 7” symbol of symbol number PN = 7, the “black bar” symbol of symbol number PN = 14, and “red 7” of symbol number PN = 21 Since it is easy to identify the symbol, the “red 7” symbol is used as a guide for the stop operation so that the player does not win the small role C1 prize.

In addition, the number of frames that can be drawn into the first stop of the “red cherry” symbol in FIG. 5B (the symbol numbers are “6” to “12”) and the first stop of the “black bar” symbol in FIG. Comparing the number of frames that can be drawn (the symbol numbers are “9” to “15”), the range of the first stop pullable frame number for the “red cherry” symbol and the “black bar” symbol is the symbol number “9”. ] To “12”. Therefore, in the game winning the small role C1 prize, the stop operation is detected at the timing when the range of the number of first stop pullable frames of the “black bar” symbol in the game won the small role B3 prize is set as the stop operation symbol number. In some cases, the “Red Cherry” symbol of the small role C1 award may be won at the small role C1 award by stopping at any one of a plurality of stop display positions. However, when the left reel R1 is variably displayed (rotating), the “blue 7” symbol of symbol number PN = 7, the “black bar” symbol of symbol number PN = 14, and “red 7” of symbol number PN = 21 Since it is easy to identify the symbol, the “red 7” symbol is used as a guide for the stop operation so that the player does not win the small role C1 prize.

The range of the first stop pullable frame number of the “blue cherry” symbol of the left reel R1 in the game winning the small role C2 prize is the stop operation symbol numbers “13” to “19”. Here, in order to perform the stop operation so as not to win the small role C2 prize, the symbol number which is the range of the first stop pullable frame number of the “blue 7” symbol in the game won the small role B2 prize is “ What is necessary is just to perform stop operation at the timing which makes stop operation symbol number 2 "-" 8 ".

This is because the number of frames that can be drawn into the first stop of the “blue cherry” symbol of symbol number PN = 18 (the symbol numbers are “13” to “19”) and the first “blue 7” symbol of FIG. Comparing the number of stop pullable frames (design numbers “2” to “8”), the range of the first stop pullable frames does not overlap between the “blue cherry” symbol and the “blue 7” symbol. It is. In addition, the range of the number of first stop pullable frames of the “blue cherry” symbol and the “blue 7” symbol is three frames with symbol numbers “1” and “20” to “21”, and The numbers are “9” to “12”, which are four frames apart.

That is, the symbols are arranged at positions that are farthest from the range of the first stop pullable frame number of the “blue cherry” symbol and the range of the first stop pullable frame number of the “blue 7” symbol. . In addition, since the number of first stop pullable frames is the same for the “blue 7” symbol and the “blue cherry” symbol, the position where the first stop pullable frame number range of both symbols is most spaced is It can also be said that the “blue 7” symbol and the “blue cherry” symbol are arranged in the most spaced frames in both the direction along the reel rotation direction and the opposite direction.

In this way, in the game won for the small role C2 award, the stop operation is performed at the same timing as when the game is won for the small role B2 award in the range of the first stop pullable number of frames of “Blue 7”. By doing so, it is possible to avoid winning the small role C2 prize without displaying the “blue cherry” symbol at any of the plurality of stop display positions.

Also, the number of frames that can be drawn into the first stop for the “blue cherry” symbol (design numbers “13” to “19”), and the number of frames that can be drawn into the first stop for the “red 7” symbol in FIG. When the numbers are “1” and “2” to “8”), the range of the number of first stop pullable frames for the “blue cherry” symbol and the “red 7” symbol is the symbol number “16” to Duplicate at “19”. Therefore, in the game winning the small role C2 award, the stop operation is detected at the timing when the range of the number of first stop pullable symbols of the “red 7” symbol in the game winning the small role B1 award is set as the stop operation symbol number. In this case, there is a case where the “blue cherry” symbol of the small role C2 award is stopped at any one of a plurality of stop display positions to win the small role C2 award. However, when the left reel R1 is variably displayed (rotating), the “blue 7” symbol of symbol number PN = 7, the “black bar” symbol of symbol number PN = 14, and “red 7” of symbol number PN = 21 Since it is easy to identify the symbol, the “blue 7” symbol is used as a guide for the stop operation so that the player does not win the small role C2 prize.

In addition, the number of frames that can be drawn into the first stop of the “blue cherry” symbol (design numbers “13” to “19”) and the number of frames that can be drawn into the first stop of the “black bar” symbol in FIG. When the numbers are “9” to “15”), the range of the number of first stop pullable frames for the “blue cherry” symbol and the “black bar” symbol is the symbol numbers “13” to “15”. Duplicate. Therefore, in the game won for the small role C2 award, the stop operation is detected at the timing when the range of the number of first stop pullable frames of the “black bar” symbol in the game won for the small role B3 award is set as the stop operation symbol number. In this case, there is a case where the “blue cherry” symbol of the small role C2 award is stopped at any one of a plurality of stop display positions to win the small role C2 award. However, when the left reel R1 is variably displayed (rotating), the “blue 7” symbol of symbol number PN = 7, the “black bar” symbol of symbol number PN = 14, and “red 7” of symbol number PN = 21 Since it is easy to identify the symbol, the “blue 7” symbol is used as a guide for the stop operation so that the player does not win the small role C1 prize.

Next, the stop operation symbol numbers “1” to “5” and “20” to “20” in the range of the first stop pullable frame number of the “black cherry” symbol of the left reel R1 in the game winning the small role C3 award. 21 ". Here, in order to perform the stop operation so as not to win the small role C3 prize, the symbol number which is the range of the first stop pullable frame number of the “black bar” symbol in the game won the small role B3 prize is “ What is necessary is just to perform stop operation at the timing which makes stop operation symbol number 9 "-" 15 ".

This is because the number of frames that can be drawn into the first stop (“1” to “5” and “20” to “21”) of the “black cherry” symbol of symbol number PN = 4 and the “black bar” in FIG. When comparing the number of frames that can be drawn into the first stop (the symbol numbers are “9” to “15”), the range of the number of frames that can be drawn into the first stop is “Black Cherry” and “Black Bar”. This is because there is no overlap. Further, the range of the number of first stop pullable frames of the “black cherry” symbol and the “black bar” symbol is three symbols with symbol numbers “6” to “8”, and the symbol number is “16”. ”To“ 19 ”are four frames apart.

That is, the symbols are arranged at positions that are farthest from the range of the first stop pullable frame number of the “black cherry” symbol and the range of the first stop pullable frame number of the “black bar” symbol. . In addition, since the first stop pullable frame number is the same for the “black bar” symbol and the “black cherry” symbol, the position where the first stop pullable frame number range of both symbols is most spaced is It can also be said that the “black bar” symbol and the “black cherry” symbol are arranged in the most spaced frames in both the direction along the reel rotation direction and the opposite direction.

In this way, in the game won for the small role C3 award, the stop operation is performed at the same timing as when operating in the range of the first stop pullable frame of the “black bar” symbol in the game won for the small role B3 award. By doing so, it is possible to avoid winning the small role C3 prize without displaying the “black cherry” symbol at any of the plurality of stop display positions.

Further, the number of frames that can be drawn into the first stop of the “black cherry” symbol (“1” to “5” and “20” to “21”), and the first stop drawing of the “red 7” symbol of FIG. Comparing the number of possible frames (design numbers are “1” and “2” to “8”), the range of the number of first stop pullable frames for the “black cherry” symbol and the “red 7” symbol is the symbol number. Are duplicated in “1” and “20” to “21”. Therefore, in the game that won the small role C3 award, “red 7” in the game that won the small role B1 award.
When the stop operation is detected at the timing when the range of the number of first stop pullable symbols of the symbol is set as the stop operation symbol number, the “Black Cherry” symbol of the small role C3 award is placed in any of the plurality of stop display positions. There is a case where the small role C3 prize is won by stopping. However, when the left reel R1 is variably displayed (rotating), the “blue 7” symbol of symbol number PN = 7, the “black bar” symbol of symbol number PN = 14, and “red 7” of symbol number PN = 21 Since it is easy to identify the symbol, the “black bar” symbol is used as a guide for the stop operation so that the player does not win the small role C2 prize.

In addition, the number of frames that can be drawn into the first stop of the “black cherry” symbol (“1” to “5” and “20” to “21”), and the first stop drawing of the “blue 7” symbol in FIG. Comparing the number of possible frames (design numbers “2” to “8”), the range of the first stop pullable number of symbols for the “black cherry” symbol and the “blue 7” symbol is the symbol number “2”. ~ "5" is duplicated. Therefore, in the game that won the small role C3 prize, the stop operation was detected at the timing when the range of the first stop pullable frame number of the “blue 7” symbol in the game won the small role B2 prize was set as the stop operation symbol number. In some cases, the “Black Cherry” symbol of the small role C3 award may be awarded to the small role C3 award by stopping at any of a plurality of stop display positions. However, when the left reel R1 is variably displayed (rotating), the “blue 7” symbol of symbol number PN = 7, the “black bar” symbol of symbol number PN = 14, and “red 7” of symbol number PN = 21 Since it is easy to identify the symbol, the “black bar” symbol is used as a guide for the stop operation so that the player does not win the small role C1 prize.

From these, when the player performs a stop operation so as not to win the small role C1 award in the game won the small role C1 award, the player stops the “red cherry” symbol at any of the plurality of stop display positions. In order to prevent this, the “red 7” symbol can be used as a guide for the stop operation. Also, in the game won for the small role C2 award, when performing a stop operation so as not to win the small role C2 award, the “blue cherry” symbol is not stopped at any of a plurality of stop display positions. The “blue 7” symbol can be used as a guide for the stop operation. Furthermore, in the game where the small role C3 prize is won, when the stop operation is performed so as not to win the small role C3 prize, the “black cherry” symbol is not stopped at any of the plurality of stop display positions. The “black bar” symbol can be used as a guide for the stop operation.

<4-5: Structure of Stop Link Table> As described above, the stop table corresponding to each prize and lose used in the stop control is specified by the selection table corresponding to each prize and lose. In addition, the selection table corresponding to each award and loss needs to specify an appropriate selection table based on the order of the stop operation and the display position of the symbol of the already stopped reel in the second and subsequent stop control. is there. For example, in a game where a prize is won, if it is the first stop control, the display position is one of the upper display position (U1 to U3), the middle display position (M1 to M3), or the lower display position (D1 to D3). It is necessary to specify a selection table capable of displaying the symbols constituting the prize. If the reel that stops next after the symbols constituting the prize are displayed at the upper display position (U1) of the left reel R1 that has already stopped is the middle reel R2, the upper display position (U2) or the middle display position. It is necessary to specify a selection table capable of displaying symbols constituting a prize in any of (M2). As described above, a stop link table that associates the order of the stop operation with the selection table is provided as data for specifying an appropriate selection table according to the order of the stop operation.

FIG. 18 is a diagram illustrating a data group TBL5 that is stored in the ROM 104 and includes a plurality of stop link tables TBL51 to TBL58 corresponding to each prize and loss. The ROM 104 also stores individual data groups corresponding to the BB1 award, the BB2 award, the small role A award, and the loss. The stop link table is a table in which the order of the stop operation and the selection table corresponding to each prize and lose shown in FIG. 12 are stored in association with each other. In a game that wins a prize, one selection table is specified based on the order of stop operations, one stop table is specified from a plurality of stop tables with reference to the specified selection table, and the specified stop table The number of advance frames corresponding to the stop operation symbol number acquired based on is acquired, and it is determined which symbol is displayed at the middle display position to stop the reel.

FIG. 19 shows the stop link table TBL51 corresponding to the small role B1 award. The stop link table TBL51 is divided into three data areas according to the first stop buttons 13a to 13c to be stopped. That is, when the stop operation of the first stop button is the left stop button 13a, the data areas A to C in the figure divided into (a) are specified, and when it is the middle stop button 13b, The data areas D to F in the drawing divided into (b) are specified, and when the right stop button 13c is selected, the data areas G to I in the drawing divided into (c) are specified.

For example, when the stop operation of the first stop button is the left stop button 13a, the data area A is specified, and then the selection table TBL311 is specified for the reel R1. With reference to the specified selection table TBL311, the selection data "21-1" to "21-3" corresponding to the acquired stop operation symbol number is acquired, and the stop table TBL21U1, TBL21M1 or TBL21D1 associated with each is acquired. To select one stop table to be used in the first stop control. Next, when the stop operation of the second stop button is the middle stop button 13b, the data area B is specified, and when it is the right stop button 13c, the data area C is specified.

Here, if the second stop button stop operation is the middle stop button 13b, the description will be continued. The selection table TBL314, the selection table TBL21U1, TBL21M1, or the TBL21D1 selected in the first stop control is selected. The table is not selected, or one of the TBLs 315 is selected. If the stop table TBL21U1 that displays the “red 7” symbol at the upper display position (U1) is selected in the first stop control, the selection table TBL314 is selected and the selection data corresponding to the acquired stop operation symbol number “21-1” or “21-2” is acquired. Control that stops the second reel of one of the stop table TBL21U2 that displays the "bell" symbol at the upper display position (U2) or the TBL21M2 that is displayed at the middle display position (M2) associated with the acquired selection data It is selected as a stop table used in (second stop control).

If the stop table TBL21M1 for displaying the “red 7” symbol at the middle display position (M1) is selected in the first stop control, the selection table is not selected and the “bell” symbol is displayed at the middle display position (M1). The stop table TBL21M2 displayed in M2) is selected as the stop table used in the second stop control.

In addition, if the stop table TBL21D1 for displaying the “red 7” symbol at the lower display position (D1) is selected in the first stop control, the selection table TBL315 is selected and corresponds to the acquired stop operation symbol number. The selection data “21-1” or “21-2” is acquired. Stop table that uses one of the stop table TBL21M2 that displays the “bell” symbol at the middle display position (M2) or the TBL 21D2 that displays at the lower display position (D2) associated with the acquired selection data in the second stop control. Choose as.

Note that a winning line having a combination of symbols of “red 7-bell-bell” is specified by the combination of the stop tables selected in the first stop control and the second stop control. That is, when the stop table is selected as TBL21U1 → TBL21U2, the pay line L2 is specified. When the stop table is selected as TBL21U1 → TBL21M2, the pay line L4 is specified, and the stop table is selected as TBL21M1 → TBL21M2. In this case, the winning line L1 is specified. When the stop table is selected as TBL21D1 → TBL21M2, the winning line L5 is specified. When the stop table is selected as TBL21D1 → TBL21D2, the winning line L3 is specified. . Accordingly, since the stop table used in the third stop control is uniquely determined, selection data is not necessary.

Next, the case where the stop operation of the second stop button is the right stop button 13c will be described. The selection table TBL317, the selection table is associated with the stop table TBL21U1, TBL21M1, or TBL21D1 selected in the first stop control. Do not select, and select either TBL317. If the stop table TBL21U1 that displays the “red 7” symbol at the upper display position (U1) is selected in the first stop control, the selection table TBL317 is selected, and the selection data corresponding to the acquired stop operation symbol number “21-1” or “21-2” is acquired. Stop table that uses one of the stop table TBL21U3 that displays the “bell” symbol at the upper display position (U3) or the TBL21D3 that is displayed at the lower display position (D3) associated with the acquired selection data in the second stop control. Select as.

If the stop table TBL21M1 for displaying the “red 7” symbol at the middle display position (M1) is selected in the first stop control, the selection table is not selected and the “bell” symbol is displayed at the middle display position (M1). The stop table TBL21M3 displayed in M3) is selected as the stop table used in the second stop control.

In addition, if the stop table TBL21D1 for displaying the “red 7” symbol at the lower display position (D1) is selected in the first stop control, the selection table TBL317 is selected, and the corresponding stop operation symbol number is obtained. The selection data “21-1” or “21-2” is acquired. Stop table that uses one of the stop table TBL21U3 that displays the “bell” symbol at the upper display position (U3) or the TBL21D3 that is displayed at the lower display position (D3) associated with the acquired selection data in the second stop control. Select as.

Note that a winning line having a combination of symbols of “red 7-bell-bell” is specified by the combination of the stop tables selected in the first stop control and the second stop control. That is, when the stop table is selected as TBL21U1 → TBL21U3, the winning line L2 is specified. When the stop table is selected as TBL21U1 → TBL21D3, the winning line L4 is specified, and the stop table is selected as TBL21M1 → TBL21M3. In this case, the winning line L1 is specified. When the stop table is selected as TBL21D1 → TBL21U3, the winning line L5 is specified. When the stop table is selected as TBL21D1 → TBL21D3, the winning line L3 is specified. . Accordingly, since the stop table used in the third stop control is uniquely determined, selection data is not necessary.

Continue the explanation. The structure of the stop link table TBL52 corresponding to the small role B2 award is shown in FIG. 19 by replacing the stop table TBL21U1 with the stop table TBL22U1, replacing the stop table TBL21M1 with the stop table TBL22M1, and replacing the stop table TBL21D1 with the stop table TBL22D1 To do. Further, the selection table TBL311 of the data areas A and E is replaced with the selection table TBL321, and the selection table TBL312 of the data area H is further replaced with the selection table TBL322.

That is, the difference between the structure of the stop link table TBL52 corresponding to the small role B2 award and the structure of the stop link table TBL51 corresponding to the small role B1 award is only when the stop control of the left reel R1 is performed. Therefore, when the stop control of the left reel R1 is the second stop, from the symbols displayed at the plurality of stop display positions of the reels stopped in the first stop, the small role B1 award, the small role B2 award or the small role Even if it can be predicted that one of the B3 awards has been won, it is impossible to know definitely whether the type of the winning award is the small role B2 award. Similarly, when the stop control of the left reel R1 is the third stop, the winning type selected from the symbols displayed at the plurality of stop display positions of the reels stopped in the first stop and the second stop. It is impossible to know definitely that it is a small role B2 prize.

Continue the explanation. In FIG. 19, the structure of the stop link table TBL53 corresponding to the small role B3 award is shown in FIG. To do. Further, the selection table TBL311 of the data areas A and E is replaced with the selection table TBL331, and the selection table TBL312 of the data area H is further replaced with the selection table TBL332.

That is, the difference between the structure of the stop link table TBL53 corresponding to the small role B3 award and the structure of the stop link table TBL51 corresponding to the small role B1 award is only when the stop control of the left reel R1 is performed. Therefore, when the stop control of the left reel R1 is the second stop, from the symbols displayed at the plurality of stop display positions of the reels stopped in the first stop, the small role B1 award, the small role B2 award or the small role Even if it can be predicted that one of the B3 prizes has been won, it is impossible to definitely know whether the type of the winning prize is the small role B3 prize. Similarly, when the stop control of the left reel R1 is the third stop, the winning type selected from the symbols displayed at the plurality of stop display positions of the reels stopped in the first stop and the second stop. It is impossible to know definitely that it is the small role B3 prize.

From these, when the stop control of the left reel R1 is the second stop, from the symbols displayed at the plurality of stop display positions of the reels stopped in the first stop, the small role B1 award, the small role B2 award or small Even if it can be predicted that one of the B3 Awards has been won, it is determined whether the selected award type is the Small B1 Award, Small B2 Award or Small B3 Award It is impossible to know. Similarly, when the stop control of the left reel R1 is the third stop, the winning type selected from the symbols displayed at the plurality of stop display positions of the reels stopped in the first stop and the second stop. It is impossible to know in a definite manner whether the small role is the small role B1 prize, the small role B2 prize or the small role B3 prize.

Continue the explanation. The structure of the stop link table TBL54 corresponding to the case where three prizes of the small role B1 prize, the small role B2 prize and the small role B3 prize are simultaneously won is replaced with the stop table TBL21U1 in FIG. The table TBL21M1 is replaced with the stop table TBL24M1, and the stop table TBL21D1 is replaced with the stop table TBL24D1. Further, the selection table TBL311 of the data areas A and E is replaced with the selection table TBL341, and the selection table TBL312 of the data area H is further replaced with the selection table TBL342.

That is, the difference between the structure of the stop link table TBL54 corresponding to the case where the small role B1 award, the small role B2 award and the small role B3 award are simultaneously won and the structure of the stop link table TBL51 corresponding to the small role B1 award are as follows: Only when the stop control of the left reel R1 is performed. Here, as described above, the selection table TBL 341 used when performing the first stop control or the second stop control of the left reel R1 has the “red 7” symbol and the “blue 7” symbol in all stop operation symbol numbers. Any one of the “black bar” symbols must be displayed at any one of the upper display position (U1), the middle display position (M1), or the lower display position (D1). It can be done. Therefore, according to the structure of the stop link table TBL54, if the first stop control is performed on the left reel R1, the CPU 101 displays the “red 7” symbol, “blue 7” at any of the plurality of stop display positions of the left reel R1. "One of the symbols" and the "black bar" symbols are stopped, and the stop display position of the middle reel R2 and the stop display position of the right reel R3 included in the winning line related to the stopped symbols are "Stop the design." Therefore, in the game in which the small role B1 prize, the small role B2 prize and the small role B3 prize are won simultaneously, if the first stop control is performed on the left reel R1, the small role B1 prize, the small role B2 prize or the small role Make sure to win one of the B3 awards.

FIG. 20 shows the stop link table TBL55 corresponding to the small role C1 prize. The stop link table TBL55 is divided into three data areas according to the first stop buttons 13a to 13c to be stopped. That is, when the stop operation of the first stop button is the left stop button 13a, the data areas A to C in the figure divided into (a) are specified, and when it is the middle stop button 13b, The data areas D to F in the drawing divided into (b) are specified, and when the right stop button 13c is selected, the data areas G to I in the drawing divided into (c) are specified.

For example, when the stop operation of the first stop button is the left stop button 13a, the data area A is specified, and then the selection table TBL351 is specified for the reel R1. With reference to the specified selection table TBL351, the selection data “25-1” to “25-3” corresponding to the acquired stop operation symbol number is acquired, and the stop tables TBL25U1, TBL25M1 or TBL25D1 corresponding to each are acquired.

That is, when the stop table is selected as TBL25U1 → TBL25U3, the winning lines L2 and L4 are specified, and when the stop table is selected as TBL25U1 → TBL25D3, the winning lines L2 and L4 are specified, and the stop table is TBL25M1 → TBL25M3. Is selected, the winning line L1 is specified. When the stop table is selected as TBL25D1 → TBL25U3, the winning lines L3 and L5 are specified. When the stop table is selected as TBL25D1 → TBL25D3, the winning line L3 and L5 is specified. Accordingly, since the stop table used in the third stop control is uniquely determined, selection data is not necessary.

Continue the explanation. The structure of the stop link table TBL56 corresponding to the small role C2 award in FIG. 20 is that the stop table TBL25U1 is replaced with the stop table TBL26U1, the stop table TBL25M1 is replaced with the stop table TBL26M1, and the stop table TBL25D1 is replaced with the stop table TBL26D1. To do. Further, the selection table TBL351 of the data areas A and E is replaced with the selection table TBL361, and the selection table TBL352 of the data area H is further replaced with the selection table TBL362.

That is, the difference between the structure of the stop link table TBL56 corresponding to the small role C2 award and the structure of the stop link table TBL55 corresponding to the small role C1 award is only when the stop control of the left reel R1 is performed. Therefore, when the stop control of the left reel R1 is the second stop, the small role C1 award, the small role C2 award or the small role is selected from the symbols displayed at the plurality of stop display positions of the reels stopped in the first stop. Even if it can be predicted that one of the C3 prizes has been won, it is impossible to definitely know whether the type of the prize that has been won is the small role C2 prize. Similarly, when the stop control of the left reel R1 is the third stop, the winning type selected from the symbols displayed at the plurality of stop display positions of the reels stopped in the first stop and the second stop. It is impossible to know definitely whether or not is a small role C2 prize.

That is, when the stop table is selected as TBL28M2 → TBL28U1, the winning line L4 is specified. When the stop table is selected as TBL28M2 → TBL28M1, the winning line L1 is specified, and the stop table is selected as TBL28M2 → TBL28D1. In this case, the winning line L5 is specified. Accordingly, since the stop table used in the third stop control is uniquely determined, selection data is not necessary.

Next, the case where the stop operation of the second stop button is the right stop button 13c will be described. In correspondence with the stop table TBL28M2 selected in the first stop control, the selection table is not selected and “Plum The stop table TBL28M3 that displays the symbol at the middle display position (M3) is selected as the stop table used in the second stop control.

Note that a winning line having a combination of symbols “plum-plum-plum” is specified by the combination of the stop tables selected in the first stop control and the second stop control. That is, since the stop table is selected as TBL28M2 → TBL28M3, the pay line L1 is specified. Accordingly, since the stop table used in the third stop control is uniquely determined, selection data is not necessary.

For example, when the stop operation of the first stop button is the right stop button 13c, the data area G is specified, and then the selection table TBL386 is specified for the right reel R3. With reference to the identified selection table TBL386, the selection data “28-3” corresponding to the acquired stop operation symbol number is acquired, and the associated stop table TBL28M3 is used as one stop table for the first stop control. select. Next, when the stop operation of the second stop button is the left stop button 13a, the data area H is specified, and when it is the middle stop button 13b, the data area I is specified.

Here, when the second stop button stop operation is the middle stop button 13b, the description will be continued. In association with the stop table TBL28M3 selected in the first stop control, the selection table is set in the second stop control. Without selecting, the stop table TBL28M1 that displays the “plum” symbol at the middle display position (M1) is selected as the stop table used in the control to stop the second reel (second stop control).

Note that a winning line having a combination of symbols “plum-plum-plum” is specified by the combination of the stop tables selected in the first stop control and the second stop control. That is, when the stop table is selected as TBL28M3 → TBL28M1, the pay line L1 is specified. Accordingly, since the stop table used in the third stop control is uniquely determined, selection data is not necessary.

Next, the case where the stop operation of the second stop button is the middle stop button 13b will be described. In correspondence with the stop table TBL28M3 selected in the first stop control, the selection table is not selected and “Plum The stop table TBL28M2 that displays the symbol at the middle display position (M2) is selected as the stop table used in the second stop control.

Note that a winning line having a combination of symbols “plum-plum-plum” is specified by the combination of the stop tables selected in the first stop control and the second stop control. That is, since the stop table is selected as TBL28M3 → TBL28M2, the pay line L1 is specified. Accordingly, since the stop table used in the third stop control is uniquely determined, selection data is not necessary.

Here, when the stop operation of the first stop button is the left stop button 13a (FIG. (A)), when it is the middle stop button 13b (FIG. (B)), the right stop button 13c. (Fig. 3C) is compared. In the case of the left stop button 13a, the winning line is any one of L1 to L5. In the case of the middle stop button 13b, it is one of the pay lines L1, L4, or L5. Further, in the case of the right stop button 13c, only the winning line L1 is provided. That is, the winning line is limited according to the reel on which the first stop operation is performed. This is because the “Red Cherry” design, the “Blue Cherry” design on the left reel R1, and the “Blue Cherry” design in order to prevent winning in the small role C1, the small role C2, and the small role C3 in the game won the replay prize. This is to prevent the “black cherry” symbol from being displayed at any of the plurality of stop display positions.

Specifically, when the “Plum” symbol of symbol number PN = 2 on the left reel R1 is displayed at the lower display position, the “black cherry” symbol of symbol number PN = 4 is displayed at the upper display position. Therefore, the “Plum” symbol of symbol number PN = 2 can be displayed only at either the upper display position or the middle display position. Further, when the “Plum” symbol with symbol number PN = 6 is displayed at the upper display position, the “Black cherry” symbol with symbol number PN = 4 is displayed at the lower display position. Therefore, the “plum” symbol of symbol number PN = 6 can be displayed only at either the middle display position or the lower display position. Further, when the “Plum” symbol with the symbol number PN = 9 is displayed at the lower display position, the “Red Cherry” symbol with the symbol number PN = 11 is displayed at the upper display position. Therefore, the “Plum” symbol of symbol number PN = 9 can be displayed only at either the upper display position or the middle display position. Further, when the “Plum” symbol with symbol number PN = 13 is displayed at the upper display position, the “red cherry” symbol with symbol number PN = 11 is displayed at the lower display position. Therefore, the “Plum” symbol of symbol number PN = 13 can be displayed only at either the middle display position or the lower display position. Further, when the “Plum” symbol with symbol number PN = 16 is displayed at the lower display position, the “blue cherry” symbol with symbol number PN = 18 is displayed at the upper display position. Therefore, the “Plum” symbol of symbol number PN = 16 can be displayed only at either the upper display position or the middle display position. Further, when the “Plum” symbol with symbol number PN = 20 is displayed at the upper display position, the “blue cherry” symbol with symbol number PN = 18 is displayed at the lower display position. Therefore, the “Plum” symbol of symbol number PN = 20 can be displayed only at either the middle display position or the lower display position. Therefore, in the game won the replay prize, the “Plum” symbol is displayed at any stop display position of the left reel R1, and any of the “Red Cherry” symbol, “Blue Cherry” symbol, and “Black Cherry” symbol is displayed. In order to prevent display at the stop display position, the “plum” symbol may be displayed at the middle display position.

From these, when the stop operation of the first stop button is the left stop button 13a, the winning line can be changed according to the symbol number among a plurality of “plum” symbols, but the first stop When the button stop operation is the middle stop button 13b or the right stop button 13c, the “plum” symbol can be displayed only at the middle display position on the middle reel R2 or the right reel R3. In particular, when the stop operation of the first stop button is the right stop button 13c, the winning line is limited to L1, and the “red cherry” symbol, “blue cherry” symbol, and “black cherry” symbol on the left reel R1. The symbols are not displayed at any of the plurality of stop display positions.

<4-6: Reel Stop Processing> FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing the contents of the reel stop processing in step S107. Step S107a: The CPU 101 selects stop link data corresponding to the winning prize with reference to the lottery information. Step S107b: The CPU 101 determines whether or not the first stop button stop operation has been performed based on the stop operation instruction signals 113a to 113c. In this process, when any one of the stop operation instruction signals 113a to 113c is detected, it is determined that the first stop button stop operation has been performed. Step S107c: When the CPU 101 detects any one of the stop operation instruction signals 113a to 113c in Step S107b, the CPU 101 determines whether the stop button type is left, middle or right from the detected stop operation instruction signals 113a to 113c. Determination is made and acquired as the type of the stop button, and the stop operation symbol number located at the middle display position of the reel where the stop operation was performed at the first stop is acquired at the timing when the stop operation instruction signals 113a to 113c are detected.

Step S107d: The CPU 101 selects, from the stop link table selected in step S107h, a selection table used for the first stop based on the type of the stop button acquired in step S107b. Step S107e: The CPU 101 determines a stop table to be used for the first stop based on the stop operation symbol number acquired in step S107b from the selection table determined in step S107d. Step S107f: The CPU 101 acquires the advance frame number from the stop table determined in step S107e based on the stop operation symbol number acquired in step S107b. Step S107g: The CPU 101 advances the reel that has been stopped and advances the rotation based on the number of frames to stop it.

Step S107h: The CPU 101 determines whether or not the second stop button stop operation has been performed based on the stop operation instruction signals 113a to 113c. In this process, when any one of the stop operation instruction signals 113a to 113c other than those already detected is detected, it is determined that the stop operation of the second stop button has been performed. Step S107i: When the CPU 101 detects any one of the stop operation instruction signals 113a to 113c in step S107m, the CPU 101 acquires the type of the stop button from the detected stop operation instruction signals 113a to 113c, and also stops the operation instruction signal 113a. The stop operation symbol number located at the middle display position of the reel where the stop operation was performed in the second stop is acquired at the timing at which .about.113c is detected. Step S107j: The CPU 101 refers to the stop link table and determines a selection table based on the type of stop button.

Step S107k: The CPU 101 determines a stop table to be used in the second stop based on the stop operation symbol number acquired in step S107i from the selection table determined in step S107j. Step S107l: The CPU 101 refers to the stop table selected in step S107k, and acquires the advance frame number based on the stop operation symbol number acquired in step S107i. Step S107m: The CPU 101 advances the reel that has undergone the stop operation, advances the rotation based on the number of frames, and stops it.

Step S107n: The CPU 101 determines whether or not the third stop button stop operation has been performed based on the stop operation instruction signals 113a to 113c. In this process, when any one of the stop operation instruction signals 113a to 113c other than those already detected is detected, it is determined that the stop operation of the third stop button has been performed. Step S107o: When the CPU 101 detects any one of the stop operation instruction signals 113a to 113c in step S107n, the CPU 101 acquires the type of the stop button from the detected stop operation instruction signals 113a to 113c, and also stops the operation instruction signal 113a. The stop operation symbol number located at the middle display position of the reel where the stop operation was performed in the third stop is acquired at the timing at which .about.113c is detected. Step S107p: The CPU 101 refers to the stop link table selected in step S107a and selects a stop table to be used for the third stop. Step S107q: The CPU 101 refers to the stop table selected in step S107p, and acquires the number of advance frames according to the stop operation symbol number acquired in step S107o. Step S107y: The CPU 101 advances the reel that has undergone the stop operation, advances the rotation based on the number of frames, and stops it.

<4-7: Summary of the Present Embodiment> A game realized by the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 23 is an explanatory diagram of a game executed by the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment.

In the same figure, when the type of the game is a BB game, the BB game is terminated when the acquired number of games in the BB game reaches a specified number ((a) in the figure). After finishing the BB game, the RT game and the AT state are started from the next game ((b) in the figure). In the RT game and AT state, in the game where one of the small role B1 prize, the small role B2 prize, and the small role B3 prize is won, the player is notified of the type of the winning prize. Specifically, when the player wins the small role B1 prize by an internal lottery in response to pressing down of the start lever 12, an image corresponding to the kind of prize won on the screen of the liquid crystal display 30 is displayed. Display the arrangement of symbols of “Red 7-Bell-Bell”. Since the player knows the type of the winning prize, when performing the stop operation of the left reel R1, the symbol corresponding to the winning prize (the small role B1 award is “red 7” symbol, the small role B2 award) "Blue 7" symbol and small role B3 award "black bar" symbol) will be aimed at the range of the first stop pullable frame number.

Therefore, compared to the case where the type of winning prize is not notified to the player, it becomes easier to win any of the small role B1, B2 and B3 prizes, so that many medals can be obtained and RT In the game, since the re-game prize is won with higher probability than the normal game, the consumption of medals can be suppressed.

In the RT game and AT state, in the game where one of the small role C1 prize, the small role C2 prize and the small role C3 prize is won, the type of the winning prize is notified to the player. In the RT game and AT state, if any of the small role C1 award, small role C2 award, and small role C3 award is won, the RT game and AT state will end, and the next game will become a normal game. In the RT game and AT state, the player does not want to win any of the small role C1 award, the small role C2 award, and the small role C3 award.

Specifically, when the player has won the small role C1 award by internal lottery in response to pressing down of the start lever 12, as an image corresponding to the type of award won on the screen of the liquid crystal display 30 Display the red cherry pattern. Since the player knows the type of the winning prize, when performing the stop operation of the left reel R1, the symbol corresponding to the winning prize (the small role C1 award is the “red cherry” symbol, the small role C2 award). Is the “blue cherry” symbol, and the small role C3 award is “black cherry” symbol). The stop operation is performed at the same timing as the case where the symbols arranged in the frame are drawn into any of the plurality of stop display positions.

Specifically, in order to perform the stop operation at a timing at which the “red cherry” symbol arranged at the symbol number PN = 11 is not displayed at any of the plurality of stop display positions in the left reel R1, the symbol number PN = The stop operation is performed at the same timing as when the “red 7” symbol arranged at 21 is drawn into any of the plurality of stop display positions. Here, an image of the “red cherry” symbol is displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display 30, and the “red cherry” symbol is a symbol of the small role C1 prize, but the “red cherry” symbol and the “red 7” symbol are the same. Since it is a color, the player can easily understand the relationship between the two symbols. In order to perform a stop operation at a timing at which the “blue cherry” symbol arranged at symbol number PN = 18 is not displayed at any of the plurality of stop display positions on the left reel R1, the symbol is placed at symbol number PN = 7. The stop operation is performed at the same timing as when drawing the “blue 7” symbol to any one of the plurality of stop display positions. Here, an image of the “blue cherry” symbol is displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display 30, and the “blue cherry” symbol is a symbol of the small role C2 award, but the “blue cherry” symbol and the “blue 7” symbol are the same. Since it is a color, the player can easily understand the relationship between the two symbols. Further, in order to perform a stop operation at a timing at which the “black cherry” symbol arranged at the symbol number PN = 4 is not displayed at any of the plurality of stop display positions on the left reel R1, the symbol is arranged at the symbol number PN = 14. The stop operation is performed at the same timing as when drawing the “black bar” symbol to any one of the plurality of stop display positions. Here, an image of the “black cherry” symbol is displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display 30, and the “black cherry” symbol is a symbol of the small role C3 award, but the “black cherry” symbol and the “black bar” symbol are the same. Since it is a color, the player can easily understand the relationship between the two symbols.

The description of FIG. 23 is continued. In this specific example, after the RT game and the AT state are started, when the number of games reaches 100, the AT state is terminated ((c) in the figure). The next game after the end of the AT state is an RT game that is not in the AT state, and the RT game itself continues even after 100 games or more have elapsed since the start of the RT game and the AT state. However, in the RT game after the AT state has ended (the RT game that is not in the AT state), the type of the prize that was won in the game that won one of the small role B1 award, the small role B2 award, and the small role B3 award Is not notified to the player, so that the re-game prize is won with a higher probability than the normal game, so that the consumption of medals can be suppressed, but not many medals can be obtained. In addition, in the RT game after the AT state has ended (the RT game that is not in the AT state), in the game that has won one of the small role C1 award, the small role C2 award, or the small role C3 award, Since the type is not notified to the player, it is easy to win a small role C1 award, a small role C2 award, or a small role C3 award. In the RT game that is not in the AT state, when winning either the small role C1 prize, the small role C2 prize, or the small role C3 prize, the RT game that is not in the AT state is terminated, and the next game is changed to the normal game. Therefore, the player predicts which small role C1 prize, small role C2 prize or small role C3 prize is won in the internal lottery, and operates the reel stop button 13a so as to avoid winning.

<5. Variations> While the present invention has been described in connection with the most practical and preferred embodiments at the present time, the present invention is limited to the embodiments disclosed herein. However, the invention can be changed as appropriate without departing from the spirit or concept of the invention that can be read from the claims and the entire specification, and a slot machine with such a change is also included in the technical scope of the present invention. Must be understood. For example, the following modifications are naturally included in the present invention.

(1) In the above-described embodiment, in the RT game, the AT state, and the RT game that is not in the AT state, if any of the small role C1, the small role C2, or the small role C3 is won, the game is being executed. The RT game and the RT game which is not in the AT state or the AT state are terminated, and the next game is changed to the normal game. However, when winning either the small role C1 award, the small role C2 award or the small role C3 award, there is a lower probability of winning the replay prize than an RT game and an RT game that is not in the AT state or the AT state. The RT game may be started.

With reference to FIG. 24A, differences from the embodiment described above will be specifically described. In order to distinguish between a plurality of types of RT games, the RT game and AT state started after the end of the BB game is referred to as “RT1 game and AT state”. An RT game that is not in the AT state after the AT state is ended in the “RT1 game and AT state” is referred to as an “RT1 game that is not in the AT state”. Here, the RT game that starts when winning either the small role C1 prize, the small role C2 prize or the small role C3 prize is referred to as an “RT2 game”. The probability of winning the replay prize in the “RT2 game” is lower than those in the “RT1 game and AT state” and “RT1 game not in the AT state”.

As shown in (A) of FIG. 6A, the “RT2 game” is started even when the small game C1, the small role C2, or the small role C3 award is won in the base game. To do. The “RT2 game” is ended when the number of games is “2”, and the next game is changed to the normal game. Furthermore, as shown in (A) of FIG. 6A, even if the BB1 prize or the BB2 prize is won by the internal lottery while the RT2 game is being executed, if the BB1 or BB2 prize is not established, the next game and subsequent prizes will be won. Until then, the BB carryover game is carried over with the winning flag of the BB1 award or BB2 award, and as shown in (A) of FIG. 4A, the BB1 award is won by the internal lottery while the RT2 game is being executed. When the winning combination is won and the prize is won, the RT2 game is ended and the BB game is started from the next game. Similarly, when the RT2 game is executed, the BB2 prize is won by internal lottery, and when the BB2 role is established and won, the RT2 game ends and the BB game starts from the next game.

In addition, as shown in (D) of FIG. 9A, when the RT1 game and AT state are executed, if one of the small prizes C1, C2 or C3 is won, the RT1 game and AT state is The RT2 game is started from the next game. Further, if the small prizes C1, C2, or C3 are won during the execution of the RT1 game that is not in the AT state, the RT1 game that is not in the AT state is terminated, and the RT2 game is started from the next game.

(2) In the above-described embodiment, in the AT state and RT game, in the game in which one of the small role B1 prize, the small role B2 prize, and the small role B3 prize is won, the type of prize that is won is determined by the player. In the game that is notified and the winning combination of the small role C1 prize, the small role C2 prize or the small role C3 prize is to be notified to the player, the AT state is indicated as the small role B1. The “AT1 state” in which the player is notified of the type of prize that has been won in any of the prizes, the small part B2 prize, and the small part B3 prize, and the small part C1 prize, the small part C2 prize, and the small part C3. In the game where one of the prizes is won, the type of prize won may be distinguished from the “AT2 state” in which the player is notified.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5B, after the end of the BB game, the next game starts the RT game in the AT1 state and the AT2 state ((A) in FIG. 5B), and the AT1 state Only when the number of games “100” has elapsed ((B) in the figure (B)), and the AT2 state ends when the number of games “120” has elapsed ((C) in the figure (B)). In the RT game that is not in either the AT1 state or the AT2 state, the RT game is terminated when one of the small role C1 prize, the small role C2 prize, or the small role C3 prize is won (see (D) of FIG. )), The next game becomes the normal game.

(3) In the embodiment described above, the stop operation symbol number is the symbol number positioned at the middle display position at the timing when the stop operation is detected, but the symbol positioned at the upper display position at the timing when the stop operation is detected. When the number is set, or when the symbol number is positioned at the lower display position at the timing when the stop operation is detected, the stop table of the data group TBL2 and the selection table of the data group TBL3 are positioned at the respective stop display positions. The data may be based on the symbol number to be used. That is, when the symbol number is located at the upper display position at the timing when the stop operation is detected, the stop table of the data group TBL2 and the selection table of the data group TBL3 may move the entire data up one frame ( However, the data set to symbol number PN = 21 moves to symbol number PN = 1). Further, when the symbol number located at the lower display position is detected at the timing when the stop operation is detected, the stop table of the data group TBL2 and the selection table of the data group TBL3 may move the entire data one frame down ( However, data set to symbol number PN = 1 moves to symbol number PN = 21). Also, the “red 7” symbol, the “blue 7” symbol and the “black bar” symbol as the first alternative symbol arrangement, and the “red cherry” symbol as the second alternative symbol arrangement, “ For the “blue cherry” and “black cherry” symbols, if the reference number of the stop operation symbol number is the symbol number located at the upper display position at the timing when the stop operation is detected, the range of the number of frames that can be withdrawn first If the reference number of the stop operation symbol number is set to the symbol number located at the lower display position at the timing when the stop operation is detected, the range of the number of frames that can be retracted first Can be moved down one frame.

(4) In the above-described embodiment, the “red 7” symbol, the “blue 7” symbol, and the “black bar” symbol on the left reel R1 are the first “alternative symbol arrangement” and the “red cherry” symbol. The “blue cherry” symbol and the “black cherry” symbol were designated as the second “alternative symbol arrangement”. However, it is possible that both the “black bar” symbol and the “black cherry” symbol do not exist, that is, the small role B3 award and the small role C3 award do not exist. Then, the “Red 7” and “Blue 7” symbols are no longer “Alternative Symbol Placement”, and the “Red Cherry” and “Blue Cherry” Symbols are “Alternative Symbol Placement”. There is an effect that it is difficult to win a prize unless the player is informed of the type of prize that has been won. However, even if the player does not know the type of prize that has been won, there are cases where the chance of winning a prize increases because the number of symbols aimed at the stop operation is reduced.

(5) In the above-described embodiment, once the AT state is ended, the next AT state is not started until the BB game is started and the BB game is ended. However, in RT games that are not in the AT state, RT
You may make it be a game and AT state. As a specific example, in an RT game that is not in the AT state, the AT state start lottery may be performed with a predetermined lottery probability.

(6) In the embodiment described above, one of the conditions for ending the RT game and the RT game that is not in the AT state and the AT state is to win either the small role C1 award, the small role C2 award or the small role C3 award. As an alternative to this end condition, if any of the “Red Cherry”, “Blue Cherry”, or “Black Cherry” symbols is displayed at one of multiple stop display positions May be used as the end condition. This is because the symbols displayed in the stop display position of the middle reel R2 and the stop display position of the right reel R3 are arranged in any of the symbols C1, C2 and C. This is because the displayed symbol may be any symbol (that is, “ANY”).

(7) In the embodiment described above, the “red 7” symbol and the “red cherry” symbol, the “blue 7” symbol and the “blue cherry” symbol, and the “black bar” symbol and the “black cherry” symbol are respectively Although the same color is used, the color may not be recognized as the very same color by human eyes, but may be a level that allows the correspondence between the colors of the symbols to be understood. For example, colors with similar hues and colors of the same system can be exemplified. As a more specific example, the “red purple 7” symbol and the “red cherry” symbol may be associated with each other, and the “dark blue 7” symbol and the “bright blue cherry” symbol may be associated with each other. In the reel band manufacturing process, the red color of the “red 7” symbol and the red color of the “red cherry” symbol may be printed on the same printing plate. Thus, it is possible to provide the correspondence of the same color design by printing with the printing plate of the same color.

(8) In the above-described embodiment, the stop table is used in all of the first stop control, the second stop control, and the third stop control. However, for the third stop control, the first stop control and the second stop control are used. Since a winning line that may have already been won is identified in FIG. 2, the target symbol may be stopped on the winning line by stop control of the control method.

(9) In the above-described embodiment, when the AT state wins the small role prize in the internal lottery, the player is notified of the type of prize that has been won. You may make it alert | report that this has won one of the small part prizes, without alert | reporting the kind of prize. Specifically, in a game won by the small role C1 award, the small role C2 award, or the small role C3 award, in order to urge the possibility that the RT game and the AT state may end, For example, a “seven-colored cherry” symbol may be displayed as a common image on the liquid crystal display 30 in the game in which either of the combination C2 prize or the small combination C3 prize is won. In a game in which the small role C1 prize and the small role C2 prize are won, for example, a “pink cherry” symbol may be displayed on the liquid crystal display 30 as a common image. In this way, by displaying an image common to any one of a plurality of awards in the small role C1 award, the small role C2 award, and the small role C3 award on the liquid crystal display 30, the player can win the selected small role. Although it is not possible to know the type of the award definitely, it is possible to provide a game of performing a thrilling stop operation that may end the RT game and the AT state by three choices or two choices.

(10) In the above-described embodiment, in the RT game, the AT state, and the RT game that is not in the AT state, if any of the small role C1 prize, the small role C2 prize, or the small role C3 prize is won, the game is being executed. The RT game and the RT game which is not in the AT state or the AT state are terminated, and the next game is changed to the normal game. As a different embodiment, in the AT state, when winning either the small role C1 prize, the small role C2 prize or the small role C3 prize, the next game is won more than the non-AT state or the AT state. It is good also as what lowered the frequency which alert | reports the won prize (it lowered the probability for determining whether to alert | report by the lottery).

Specifically, in the RT game and AT state, when winning either the small role C1 award, the small role C2 award or the small role C3 award, only the AT state being executed is terminated and the next game is started. An RT game that is not in the AT state or an RT game with a lower frequency of notifying the winning prize than the AT state can be provided. As another specific example, in the normal game and AT state, when winning either the small role C1 prize, the small role C2 prize or the small role C3 prize, only the AT state that is being executed is terminated, From the next game, a normal game that is not in the AT state or a normal game with a lower frequency of notifying the winning prize than the AT state can be obtained.
