The bonus is a transition to a special game, and the specific combination or itself is also called a special game as described above.

Special games are games that are more advantageous to the player than general games.
In addition, although the bonus was illustrated as a special game, it is not limited to this. Moreover, although the bonus was illustrated as a specific combination, it is not limited to this, A specific small combination etc. may be sufficient.
Specifically, there are the following types of bonuses.
Note that the type of bonus is not limited to the following (1) to (5).

(1) BB transition role (second transition role)
The BB transition combination is a transition combination to BB (second special game) and is also called a second transition combination.
That is, it is a role for making a transition from a general game to BB, which is a special game by special game control means 340 described later, on condition that the BB symbol wins.
It is not necessary to pay out medals at the time of winning the BB symbol, or one medal may be paid out.

Assuming that the player inserts three medals after the start of BB, a total of about 288 medals can be obtained, and for example, the payout exceeds 345.
(2) MB transition role (first transition role)
The MB transitional role is a transitional role to MB (first special game) and is also called a first transitional role.
This is a role for making a transition from a general game to an MB, which is a special game by the special game control means 340 described later, on condition that the MB symbol is won.

It is not necessary to pay out medals when winning MB symbols, or one medal may be paid out.
Assuming that the player inserts three medals after the start of the MB, a total of about 192 medals can be obtained, and for example, the payout exceeds 253. Note that, in MB, the number of medals that a player can acquire is set lower than BB.

(3) RB transition role The RB transition role is a transition role to RB.
Assuming that the player inserts three medals after the start of RB, a total of about 96 medals can be obtained. The RB ends with a condition that has been achieved first, up to 12 games or 8 wins. Note that RB is set so that the number of medals that a player can acquire is lower than that of MB.

(4) MB small hit + AT combination The MB small hit is a so-called single bonus with no carryover of flags.
For example, 15 medals are paid out when winning either the MB small win or the AT combination after winning the MB small combination + AT combination.
(5) RB small hit + AT combination As with the MB small hit, the RB small hit is a so-called single bonus with no carryover of the flag.

For example, 15 medals are paid out when winning either RB small hit or AT combination after winning RB small hit + AT combination.
(Reel stop control means 320)
The reel stop control means 320 performs stop control of the reel motors 34 to 36 corresponding to the stop switches 80 to 82 based on the game result determined by the lottery by the combination lottery means 310 and the operation of the stop switches 80 to 82. Is for.
(General game control means 330)
The general game control means 330 is for causing a general game to be performed.
(Special game control means 340)
The special game control means 340 is for causing special games that are more advantageous to the player than general games, for example, various bonuses.
(Profit grant means 350)
The profit granting means 350, when the combination of the symbols of the three reels 31 to 33 stopped and displayed on the display window 20 matches a predetermined combination of symbols, This is for paying out the number of medals.

The medals can be paid out by actually driving the hopper unit 140 to pay out medals or increasing the number of credit medals.
(Non-operating operation detection means 360)
The non-operating operation detection means 360 operates, for example, the bet switches 60 to 62 (insertion switch), the start switch 70, and the three stop switches 80 to 82 in a non-operating state that is not used for operations related to the progress of the game. It is for detecting.

The non-operating operation detection means 360 detects all the operations of the bet switches 60 to 62 (insertion switch), the start switch 70, and the three stop switches 80 to 82, but is not limited thereto. Only one operation may be detected.
Specifically, in the non-operating state, when the operation of the bet switches 60 to 62 (the making switch), the start switch 70, and the three stop switches 80 to 82 is detected, the non-operating operation detecting means 360 is not operating. An operation signal is output, and the non-operating operation signal is transmitted to the sub-control unit 400 via a signal transmission unit 380 described later.

The non-operating state is exemplified as follows.
The non-operating state is not limited to the following (1) to (7).
(1) Operation of the start switch 70 and stop switches 80 to 82 before inserting medals by the bet switches 60 to 62 (insertion switches).
(2) Operation of bet switches 60 to 62 (insertion switches) after the maximum number of inserted coins, for example, three medals are inserted.

(3) Operation of the bet switches 60 to 62 (insertion switch) and the start switch 70 after the start of rotation of the three reels 31 to 33.
(4) After the first stop of the reels 31 to 33, in addition to the stop switches 80 to 82 used for the first stop, the bet switches 60 to 62 (insertion switch), the start switch 70 and the operation.
(5) After the second stop of the reels 31 to 33, in addition to the stop switches 80 to 82 used for the second stop, the stop switches 80 to 82 used for the first stop, the bet switches 60 to 62 (injection) Switch), start switch 70 operation.

(6) After the third stop of the reels 31 to 33, the start switch 70 is operated in addition to all three stop switches 80 to 82. In addition, the operation of the bet switches 60 to 62 (insertion switches) after the game is over until the next game becomes possible is also included.
(7) Operation of the bet switches 60 to 62 (insertion switch), the start switch 70, and the three stop switches 80 to 82 during the wait time by the weight means 370 described later.
(Weight means 370)
The weight means 370 is set on the condition that the weight condition preset in relation to the progress of the game is achieved, and after the game is over, the weight means 370 is set for the next game for a preset weight time, for example, 10 seconds. It is for deferring start.

In addition, although "10 seconds" was illustrated as wait time, it is not limited to this.
The weight means 370 starts a wait time (for example, 10 seconds) after the special game control means 340 ends the bonus (special game).
The weight means 370 executes the wait state over a plurality of preset game counts.

That is, after the bonus (special game) ends, a plurality of games, for example, 10 games may be waited, and a wait time may occur after each game ends.
(Signal transmission means 380)
The signal transmission means 380 is for transmitting signals such as commands and data to the sub-control means 400, for example.
(Signal receiving means 410)
The signal receiving means 410 of the sub control means 400 is for receiving a signal transmitted from the signal transmitting means 380 of the main control means 300.
(Notification production lottery means 420)
The notice effect lottery means 420 determines in advance whether or not to make the second notice effect (the lighting of the orihime lamp 130) appear on the condition that the BB transition role (second transition role) is won by the role lottery means 310. This is for determining by lottery using the set first lottery probability, for example, “1/8”.

In addition, although "1/8" was illustrated as a 1st lottery probability, it is not limited to this.
In addition, during the wait time (for example, 10 seconds) by the weighting means 370, the notice effect lottery means 420 allows at least one of the bet switches 60 to 62 (the insertion switch), the start switch 70, and the three stop switches 80 to 82. Whether or not the notice effect of the lottery result by the combination lottery means 310 should appear may be determined by lottery on the condition that one preset operation has been performed.

The notification effect during the wait time will be described later with reference to FIGS.
Further, the notification effect lottery means 420 performs the lottery of the notification effect every time a preset operation is performed within a wait time (for example, 10 seconds).
That is, when the preset number of operations is one within the wait time (for example, 10 seconds), the number of lotteries for the announcement effect is one. On the other hand, when the number of operations set in advance is performed a plurality of times within the wait time (for example, 10 seconds), the lottery of the notification effect is performed for the same number of operations.

On the other hand, the notification effect lottery means 420 includes the following means as shown in FIG.
The means of the notice effect lottery means 420 is not limited to the following means (1).
(1) Re-lottery means 421
The re-lottery means 421 uses the non-operating operation signal detected by the non-operating operation detecting means 360 when the lottery means 421 is out of the lottery of the second notice effect (the lighting of the princess lamp 130) by the notice effect lottery means 420. The second lottery in which the second lottery command, for example, BET3 consecutive hits is input, is set to be higher than the first lottery probability, for example, “1/8”. This is for determination by lottery using a probability, for example, “3/4”.

In addition, as a re-lottery command, a case where three BET hits, that is, a case where the bet switches 60 to 62 (insertion switches) are operated three times in succession is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this. A re-lottery command may be input using the switches 80-82.
Moreover, although "3/4" was illustrated as a 2nd lottery probability, it is not limited to this.
(Notification production control means 430)
When the bonus (specific role) set by the combination lottery means 310 is won, the notification effect control means 430 provides a notification effect for notifying the winning of the bonus (specific role), and the notification effect execution means 150. Can be executed using.

In addition, although "bonus" was illustrated as a specific combination, it is not limited to this, A specific small combination etc. may be sufficient.
Specifically, the notice effect control means 430 is for executing the notice effect using the notice effect execution means 150 when it is determined by the notice effect lottery means 420 that the notice effect appears.

As shown in FIG. 1, the notification effect control means 430 includes the following means.
(1) First notification effect control means 431
The first notification effect control means 431 is a notification effect execution means on condition that at least one of the MB transition combination (first transition combination) and the BB transition combination (second transition combination) is won by the combination lottery means 310. 150 is used to execute the first notification effect (lighting of the strip lamp 120).

(2) Second notification effect control means 432
The second notification effect control means 432 uses the notification effect execution means 150 to determine the second notification effect when the notification effect lottery means 420 determines that the second notification effect (the lighting of the princess lamp 130) will appear. It is for execution.
(Notification production changing means 440)
Based on the command (see FIG. 7) input using the non-operating operation signal detected by the non-operating operation detecting unit 360, the notification effect changing unit 440 displays the content of the notification effect by the notification effect controlling unit 430. It is for change.

An example of changing the content of the announcement effect is as follows.
In addition, the change of the content of notification production | presentation is not limited to following (1)-(3).
(1) Change of timing at which notification effect is executed For example, as shown in “10” to “12” in the “No” column of FIG. 7 to be described later, the lighting timing of the strip lamp 120 can be changed. Yes.

That is, in the case of “10” in the column “No” in FIG. 7, the strip lamp 120 is turned on when “first stop is accepted”, and when “No 11”, “when first stop is accepted”. In the case of “No 12”, it is “when all cylinders are stopped” (a state where all three reels 31 to 33 are stopped).
(2) Change in Appearance Rate, which is the Probability of Appearing a Notification Effect The change in appearance rate is not illustrated, but the appearance rate can be reduced or improved by a command.

Note that the appearance rate and the reliability described later may be changed in conjunction with each other. For example, a combination having a low appearance rate but a high reliability and a combination having a high appearance rate but a low reliability may be changed by a command.
(3) Change in reliability, which is a ratio representing the authenticity of winning a specific role (for example, bonus) by the role lottery means 310 Although the change in reliability is not illustrated, the reliability can be reduced by a command, Alternatively, it can be improved.
(Command clearing means 450)
The command clear means 450 is for invalidating a command on condition that a preset command clear condition is achieved.

The command clear conditions are as follows.
(1) A case where a transition is made to a game standby state that is started on condition that no game is played for a predetermined time set in advance.
At this time, a demo screen is displayed on the image display device 40.
(2) When a bonus (transfer role) is won by the role lottery means 310.

(3) When a new command is input after the content of the notification effect is changed based on the input of the command, and the previous command is overwritten by the new command.
(4) When a preset clear command is input using the non-operating operation signal detected by the non-operating operation detecting means 360.
(Type of announcement production)
There are the following types of announcement effects.

In addition, the kind of notification production is not limited to following (1)-(4).
(1) Notification command The notification command is a notification effect using the strip lamp 120 and the princess lamp 130 described above.
(2) Reliability lamp The reliability lamp is a notification effect using the side lamps 110 to 112.

(3) Reliability sound The reliability sound is an announcement effect using the speaker 100, and every time the bet switches 60 to 62 (insertion switches) are operated during the rotation of all three reels 31 to 33, It is a chance notice that the reliability will increase.
When the bet switches 60 to 62 (insertion switches) are operated for the reliability expected by the player, a “chance sound” is generated from the speaker 100 with any one of the first to third stop sounds.

The reliability sound is executed by the notice effect control means 430 in FIG.
The relationship between the number of operations of the bet switches 60 to 62 (insertion switches), the appearance rate, and the reliability is as shown in FIG. That is, when the number of operations of the bet switches 60 to 62 (insertion switches) is small, for example, as shown in the column “1” of “No” in FIG. "Appearance rate" is high, but conversely, the reliability of "chance sound" is set low. On the other hand, as the number of operations increases, for example, in the case of “20” in “No”, when the number of operations is “20”, the “appearance rate” at which “chance sound” is generated is relatively high. However, the reliability of “chance sound” is set extremely high.

(4) Screw-in notification Screw-in notification is a bonus winning game in which a bonus (special role) is won by the role lottery means 310. When operating the third stop stop switch 80-82, the stop switch 80-82 is not released. If the button is continuously pressed for a number of seconds (for example, 5 seconds or more) and then released, the bonus is notified in a different effect from the normal notification methods (1) to (3).

At the time of screwing, the voice notification of FIG. 5 is performed with a probability of “70%” and the sound notification of FIG. 6 is performed with a probability of “30%”.
Note that the notification at the time of screwing is not limited to voice notification or sound notification. Also, the probability is not limited to “70%” and “30%”.
Voice announcements, for example, “No” in “1” column of FIG. 5, press and hold the stop switches 80 to 82 for a specified number of seconds (for example, 5 seconds or more), and after 3 seconds of releasing, “Congratulations!” Sound is generated from the speaker 100 as shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 6, two types of sound notifications are prepared: “BB confirmed sound” and “MB / BB common sound”.
(Command list in Fig. 7)
Next, an example of a command used for the notice effect changing means 440 will be described with reference to FIG.

First, the commands will be described in the following three cases.
(1) Command operation method (2) Command clear condition (3) Processing when command is duplicated (command operation method)
The command operation method is as follows.

The command operation method is not limited to the following operations (1) to (4).
(1) A command is input while all three reels 31 to 33 are stopped.
(2) Input a command that the player wants to change.
For example, as shown in “1” in the “No” column of FIG. 7, when it is desired to change to “notification contents” of “normally full notification effect & rotating BET effect”, it is described in the “command input” column. As described above, after operating the three stop switches 80 to 82 in the order of “right, middle, and left”, “MAX BET once”, that is, the MAX bet switch 60 of FIGS.

(3) Thereafter, as described in the “command determination operation” column of FIG. 7, the contents of the input command are determined by operating the start switch 70 which is the “lever” of FIGS. .
(4) If the command input is successful, the upper panel blinks once, although not shown.
(Command clear condition)
The command clear conditions are as follows.

The command clear conditions are not limited to the following conditions (1) to (4).
(1) A game standby state is entered (the command is automatically deleted).
(2) Win a bonus (command is automatically deleted).
(3) Another command is overwritten.
(4) Input command clear.

“Command clear” is performed by operating the three stop switches 80 to 82 in the order of left, right, and center while all the three reels 31 to 33 are stopped.
(Processing when a command is duplicated)
The processing when a command is duplicated is basically set so that the three commands (1) “Notification Command”, (2) “Reliability Lamp”, and (3) “Reliability Sound” are not duplicated. Yes. Further, the above three commands and the above-mentioned (4) “screw-in notification” can be overlapped.
(An example of the screen of the image display device 40 in FIG. 8)
Next, an example of the screen of the image display device 40 will be described with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 8, a plurality of three reel images 41 to 43 are displayed on the image display device 40.
Although not shown in the drawings, each of the reel images 41 to 43 displays a plurality of types of symbol images as with the reels 31 to 33 of the reel unit 30 of FIGS.
When the wait time by the weight means 370 starts, reel images 41 to 43 are displayed.

When the start switch 70 is operated, the symbol images of the reel images 41 to 43 start to change.
When the stop switches 80 to 82 are operated after the start of the pattern image change, the corresponding reel images 41 to 43 are stopped and displayed.
For example, when the stop switch 80 on the left side in FIG. 2 is operated, the change in the symbol image of the reel image 41 on the left side in FIG. 8 stops. Similarly, when the center stop switch 81 is operated, the variation of the symbol image of the center reel image 42 stops. When the right stop switch 82 is operated, the change in the symbol image of the right reel image 42 stops.
(Flowchart of FIGS. 9 to 10)
Next, the effect subroutine will be described using the flowcharts illustrated in FIGS.
(Flowchart in FIG. 9)
First, as shown in FIG. 9, the process proceeds to step S10 to determine whether or not game information has been received.

The above determination is performed by the signal receiving means 410 of the sub-control means 400 in FIG. 1, and it is determined whether or not the signal receiving means 410 has received the game information transmitted from the signal transmitting means 380 of the main control means 300. ing.
If the game information is not received as a result of the determination, step S10 is repeated as shown in FIG.

On the other hand, when game information is received, as shown in FIG. 9, it progresses from step S10 to the following step S11, and it is determined whether the weight start signal is received.
The above determination is performed by the sub-control unit 400 in FIG. 1, and the wait start signal is output from the weight unit 370 of the main control unit 300 and transmitted to the signal receiving unit 410 of the sub-control unit 400 via the signal transmission unit 380. The

If a wait start signal is received as a result of the above determination, as shown in FIG. 9, the process proceeds from step S11 to the next step S12 and will be described later with reference to FIG. The
The notification effect during the wait time is performed by the notification effect control means 430 of the sub-control means 400 in FIG.

After the end of the notice effect during the wait time, the effect subroutine shown in FIG. 9 ends.
On the other hand, when the weight start signal is not received in step S11, the process proceeds to the next step S20, and other effects are executed.
Other effects are performed by the notification effect control means 430 in FIG. 1, and an effect different from the notification effect during the wait time is executed.

After execution of the other effects, the effect subroutine shown in FIG. 9 is terminated.
(Flowchart in FIG. 10)
Next, the notification effect during the wait time in step S12 of FIG. 9 will be described with reference to FIG.
First, as shown in FIG. 10, the process proceeds to step S30 to determine whether or not a start signal has been received.

The above determination is performed by the sub-control unit 400 in FIG. 1, and it is determined whether or not the signal reception unit 410 has received the start signal transmitted from the signal transmission unit 380 of the main control unit 300.
That is, when the start switch 70 is operated during the wait time, a start signal is output to the main control means 300. At this time, since the main control means 300 is in the wait time, the driving of the reel unit 30 is not started. The non-operating operation detection unit 360 of the main control unit 300 transmits the start signal output from the start switch 70 to the signal reception unit 410 of the sub control unit 400 via the signal transmission unit 380.

  In addition, when any one of the three stop switches 80 to 82 is operated first during the wait time, the first stop signal is similarly transmitted by the non-operating operation detection means 36 to the signal transmission means 380. Is transmitted to the signal receiving means 410 of the sub-control means 400. Further, when any one of the remaining two stop switches 80 to 82 is operated second, a second stop signal is similarly transmitted to the signal receiving means 410 of the sub-control means 400. Further, when the remaining one of the stop switches 80 to 82 is operated third, a third stop signal is similarly transmitted to the signal receiving means 410 of the sub-control means 400.

Although not directly related to the flowchart of FIG. 10, even when the bet switches 60 to 62 (insertion switches) are operated during the wait time, the credit medal is not inserted, and the non-operating operation detection means 360 The bet signal is transmitted to the signal receiving means 410 of the sub-control means 400 via the signal transmitting means 380.
If the start signal is received as a result of the above determination, the process proceeds from step S30 to the next step S31 as shown in FIG. 10, and the fluctuation of the reel images 41 to 43 of the image display device 40 in FIG. 8 is started.

The start of fluctuation of the reel images 41 to 43 is performed by the notification effect control means 430 of the sub-control means 400 of FIG.
After the start of the change, as shown in FIG. 10, the process proceeds from step S31 to the next step S32, and a lottery of notification effects is performed.
The lottery is performed by the notice effect lottery means 420 of the sub-control means 400 of FIG.

As the lottery for the announcement effect, for example, the lottery lamp 130 of FIG. 1 and FIG. 3 is redrawn.
Note that the announcement production lottery is not limited to the re-lottery of the Orihime lamp 130.
After the lottery, as shown in FIG. 10, the process proceeds from step S32 to the next step S33, where it is determined whether or not the announcement effect is won.

The determination is performed by the effect lottery means 420 of the sub-control means 400 in FIG.
As a result of the above determination, when the announcement effect is won, as shown in FIG. 10, the process proceeds from step S33 to the next step S34, where it is determined whether or not a third stop signal has been received.
The above determination is performed by the sub-control unit 400 of FIG. 1, and it is determined whether or not the signal reception unit 410 has received the third stop signal transmitted from the signal transmission unit 380 of the main control unit 300.

As a result of the determination, if the third stop signal is not received, step S34 is repeated as shown in FIG.
On the other hand, when the third stop signal is received, as shown in FIG. 10, the process proceeds from step S34 to the next step S35, and a notification effect is executed.
The execution of the notification effect is performed by the notification effect control means 430 of the sub-control means 400 of FIG.

Specifically, for example, the cage princess lamp 130 shown in FIGS. 1 and 3 is turned on as the notification effect. By turning on the orihime lamp 130, the player can know that BB is won out of the bonus.
Although explanation is omitted, when the first stop signal is received, the fluctuation of the corresponding one reel image 41 to 43 is stopped. Similarly, when the second stop signal is received, the fluctuation of the corresponding one reel image 41 to 43 among the remaining two reel images 41 to 43 is stopped. Finally, when the third stop signal is received, the fluctuation of the remaining one reel image 41 to 43 is stopped. As a result, all three reel images 41 to 43 are stopped.

After execution of the notification effect, as shown in FIG. 10, the process proceeds from step S35 to the next step S36, where it is determined whether or not a weight end signal has been received.
The above determination is performed by the sub-control unit 400 of FIG. 1, and the wait end signal is output from the weight unit 370 of the main control unit 300 and transmitted to the signal receiving unit 410 of the sub-control unit 400 via the signal transmission unit 380. The

The wait end signal is output 10 seconds after the start of the wait time. For this reason, the sub-control unit 400 may count using a timer without transmitting the wait end signal to the sub-control unit 400.
As a result of the above determination, if no wait end signal is received, step S36 is repeated as shown in FIG.

On the other hand, when the wait end signal is received in step S36 described above, the notification effect routine during the wait time shown in FIG. 10 is ended, and the effect subroutine shown in FIG. 9 is returned to.
On the other hand, in the above-described step S33, when the notification effect is “losing”, as shown in FIG. 10, the process proceeds to the next step S40, and it is determined whether or not the third stop signal is received.

The above determination is performed by the sub-control unit 400 in FIG.
As a result of the determination, if the third stop signal is not received, step S40 is repeated as shown in FIG.
On the other hand, when the third stop signal is received, as shown in FIG. 10, the process proceeds from step S40 to the next step S41, and whether or not the wait end signal is received without executing the notification effect. Is determined.

As a result of the determination, if no wait end signal is received, the process returns from step S41 to step S30 described above to determine whether a start signal has been received, as shown in FIG.
On the other hand, when the wait end signal is received in the above-described step S41, the notice effect routine during the wait time shown in FIG. 10 is ended, and the effect subroutine shown in FIG. 9 is returned to.
