Description

  The present invention relates to a slot machine in which a game period during a special game can be extended by a player's skill and can be shifted to a game state advantageous to the player.

In a conventional slot machine, when a lottery of a role including a special role for shifting to a state advantageous to a player is performed, the special role is won, and the combination of symbols corresponding to the special role is stopped on the active line Is known a slot machine for shifting to a special game. Also, after the special game is over, it is known that the game shifts to the normal game, or to the RT game (a game that is advantageous over the normal game because the winning probability of replay is set higher than that of the normal game). (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).
Patent 3792993

  However, in the above-described conventional technique, whether or not to shift to the RT game after the end of the special game is determined by lottery or is transferred uniformly. For this reason, the player is interested in whether or not the game after the end of the special game is an RT game, and the special game is a game that is simply digested.

As an effect during the special game, a slot machine that outputs an effect indicating whether or not to shift to the RT game after the end of the special game is known. In this way, the player's attention can be directed to the content of the special game.
However, since such an effect has a predetermined ending, it was not affected by the winning of a role in a special game, the number of games, or the like.

  Therefore, the problem to be solved by the present invention is to eliminate the monotony of the game during the special game by providing a difference in the game state to be transferred thereafter according to the game result during the special game.

The present invention solves the above-described problems by the following means. Note that the parentheses indicate corresponding items in the following embodiments.
According to the first aspect of the present invention, a plurality of reels displaying a plurality of types of symbols, a combination lottery means for performing combination lottery, a stop switch for stopping the rotation of the reel, and when the stop switch is operated And a reel control means for stopping and controlling the reels based on the result of lottery by the winning lottery means, which is advantageous for the player when a predetermined condition is satisfied (when MB wins). In the special game, the reel control means controls to shift to a special game (MB game), and based on the operation of the stop switch by the player, The combination of symbols corresponding to the small roles 1 to 3) is controlled so as to be able to stop on the active line, and the special game is continued until the predetermined number of game media is acquired, and the number of game media acquired is When the predetermined number is reached, the special game is controlled to end, and the winning lottery means draws a winning combination including a specific winning combination (SB) during the special game, and the reel control means When the specific combination is won by the combination lottery means, the combination of symbols corresponding to the specific combination is controlled so as to be able to stop on the effective line, and in the special game, the game medium can be selected without winning the specific combination. Rather than ending the special game when the number of acquisitions reaches the predetermined number, the combination of symbols corresponding to the specific combination is selected as an effective line before the specific number of game media is acquired. It is characterized in that it is controlled so that it is more advantageous for the player to make it stop (to shift to RT2 game).

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the slot machine according to the first aspect, during the special game, a lottery of a role including a replay for allowing a player to replay is performed, and the reel control means When the replay is won during the game, the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay is controlled to be able to stop on the effective line without stopping the symbol combination corresponding to the small role on the effective line. .

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the slot machine according to the second aspect, the winning probability of the replay during the special game is set higher than the winning probability of the replay in a predetermined gaming state other than the special game. It is characterized by that.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the slot machine according to any one of the first to third aspects, the reel control means is configured so that the reel other than the specific reel during the special game is The reel is controlled to stop so that the maximum number of moving symbols from the moment the stop switch is operated until the reel stops is within M (five symbols), and for the specific reel, the stop switch The reels are controlled to stop so that the maximum number of symbols that can be moved from the moment when the reel is operated until the reels stop is within N (N <M) (2 symbols).

  According to a fifth aspect of the invention, in the slot machine according to the fourth aspect of the present invention, the reel control means is operated first when the replay is won during the special game. When the reel corresponding to the stop switch is the specific reel, the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay is controlled to be able to stop on an effective line.

  According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, in the slot machine according to the fourth or fifth aspect, when the reel control means wins the specific combination during the special game, the reel switch is operated to the stop switch operated first. When the corresponding reel is the specific reel, the combination of symbols corresponding to the specific combination is controlled to be able to stop on the effective line.

  A seventh aspect of the present invention is the slot machine according to any one of the fourth to sixth aspects, wherein the reel stop control means is a combination of symbols corresponding to the small role during the special game. In the game that can be stopped on the active line, the reel corresponding to the last operated stop switch is the specific reel, and the stop switch is at a timing at which the symbol related to the small part does not stop on the active line. When is operated, control is performed such that the combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination is not stopped on the active line.

  The invention of claim 8 is the slot machine according to any one of claims 1 to 7, wherein the special combination is won in the special game, and the combination of symbols corresponding to the specific combination is stopped. When the game is finished, the special game is finished, and the next game is controlled to execute the specific game. The role lottery means shifts the game state to shift the game state during the specific game. When a combination of roles including a combination is performed, the game state transition combination is won in the specific game, and the combination of symbols corresponding to the game state transition combination is stopped on the effective line, Control is performed so as to shift to a gaming state set to exceed 1.

  According to a ninth aspect of the present invention, in the slot machine according to any one of the first to eighth aspects, the role lottery means performs a lottery of a role including a special role, and the special lottery means selects the special lottery unit. When the winning combination is won and the combination of symbols corresponding to the special combination is stopped on the active line, control is performed so that the next game is shifted to the special game.

  According to a tenth aspect of the present invention, in the slot machine according to any one of the first to ninth aspects, when the combination of symbols corresponding to each game and the small combination is stopped in the special game. In addition, before winning the specific combination by the combination lottery means, the probability that the number of acquired game media in the special game reaches the predetermined number and the special game is ended is set higher. And

(Function)
In the above invention, a special combination lottery is performed during a special game. In the special game, the game medium is continued until the number of acquired game media reaches a predetermined number. When the number of acquired game media reaches a predetermined number without winning a specific combination, the special game ends. On the other hand, in a special game, when a specific combination is won before the number of acquired game media reaches a predetermined number, it is advantageous for the player.
Therefore, during the special game, the player will allow the number of game media to be reached to a predetermined number as soon as possible, and after that, the game will be continued while the small role will not win, Can wait.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to determine whether or not it is advantageous for a player according to the number of game media acquired during a special game and the presence / absence of a winning combination. Thereby, the monotony of the game during the special game can be eliminated.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an outline of control of the slot machine 10 in the present embodiment.
The game control means 60 of the slot machine 10 is means for comprehensively controlling the entire slot machine 10 including the progress and effects of the game of the slot machine 10, and includes lottery of the role, drive control of the reel 31, and payout at the time of winning. It controls the progress of the game and the output of the production. The game control means 60 is provided on the control board, and is a CPU that performs calculations, a ROM that stores programs necessary for the progress of the game, data for production, and the like, and when the CPU performs various controls. RAM etc. which memorize | store the data etc. which were taken in are temporarily stored.

As shown in FIG. 1, a bet switch 40, a start switch 41, and a stop switch 42 are electrically connected to the input side (left side in FIG. 1) of the game control means 60.
The bet switch 40 is a switch that is operated when a player inserts a stored medal, and is a switch in which an effective line is set by the operation. Although the medal insertion slot is not shown in FIG. 1, the medal insertion slot is a part for inserting an actual medal for setting an effective line, like the bet switch 40. The insertion of medals is included in the operation of the bet switch 40.

The start switch 41 is a switch operated by the player when starting the reel 31.
Furthermore, three stop switches 42 are provided corresponding to the three reels 31 and are operated by the player when stopping the corresponding reels 31.

Peripheral devices such as the motor 32 described below are electrically connected to the output side (right side in FIG. 1) of the game control means 60.
The motor 32 is for rotating the reel 31, is connected to the center of rotation of the reel 31, and is controlled by the game control means 60.
The reel 31 is ring-shaped, and a reel tape on which a plurality of types of symbols (designs that constitute a combination of symbols corresponding to roles, etc., see FIG. 5 described later) is printed on the outer peripheral surface thereof. It is affixed. Also, three reels 31 are provided in parallel in the present embodiment. On each reel 31, 21 symbols are arranged at equal intervals.

  Each reel 31 is arranged so that three symbols that are continuous in the vertical direction can be seen from a display window (not shown) provided on the front panel of the slot machine 10. Therefore, nine symbols are arranged so that a total of nine symbols can be seen from the display window of the slot machine 10.

  Here, in the present embodiment, the reel 31 is provided with left, middle, and right three, and the stop switch 42 is provided with left, middle, and right three correspondingly. That is, the left reel 31 corresponds to the left stop switch 42, the middle reel 31 corresponds to the middle stop switch 42, and the right reel 31 corresponds to the right stop switch 42.

Furthermore, the output side of the game control means 60 is electrically connected to effect output devices such as the lamp 21, the speaker 22, and the image display device 23.
The lamps 21 are effects lamps for the slot machine 10 and are turned on in a predetermined pattern when predetermined conditions are satisfied. The lamp 21 includes a back lamp (not shown) arranged on the inner peripheral side of each reel 31, an upper lamp and a side lamp which are arranged on the front surface of the casing of the slot machine 10 and blink when a winning combination is made. A lamp (not shown) and the like are included.

The speaker 22 outputs a predetermined sound when a predetermined condition is satisfied in order to perform various effects during the game.
Furthermore, the image display device 23 includes a liquid crystal image display device, a dot display, and the like, and displays various effect images, predetermined information, and the like during the game.

Although not shown, a symbol combination line (effective line) is provided in a portion including the display window of the slot machine 10.
Here, the “symbol combination line” is a line of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped, and is a line that forms a combination of symbols. In the present embodiment, it is composed of a total of five lines: lines provided respectively in the middle, upper, and lower stages in the horizontal direction, and diagonal lines in the downward and leftward diagonal directions. The three symbols that are continuous above and below each reel 31 are positioned on one or more symbol combination lines.

Further, among the five symbol combination lines, an effective line and an invalid line are set from the symbol combination lines according to the number of medals inserted or set by the player.
Here, in the present embodiment, the “effective line” is a line for winning a combination when a combination of symbols corresponding to any combination stops on the line.

  On the other hand, the “invalid line” is generated when the number of inserted medals is one or two, and is a line that is not set as an effective line among the symbol combination lines, and a combination of symbols corresponding to any of the combinations. Even if the line is stopped, a profit according to the combination (medal payout etc.) is not performed. In other words, the invalid line is a line that is not a target of combination of symbols in the first place.

In this embodiment, the number of medals inserted in one game is set to 1, 2, or 3 depending on the game state.
When the number of medals is one, the horizontal horizontal symbol combination line (one) is set as an effective line, and the remaining four symbol combination lines are set as invalid lines.
In addition, when the number of inserted medals is 2, the horizontal, middle, upper and lower symbol combination lines (three in total) are set as valid lines, and the other two symbol combination lines are set as invalid lines. .
Furthermore, when the number of inserted medals is 3, all symbol combination lines (a total of 5) are set as valid lines, and there are no invalid lines.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram showing combinations of combinations of types (combinations drawn by the combination lottery means 61 described later), the number of payouts, and the like in this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2, special combinations, small combinations, replays, and RT2 game transition combinations are provided as combinations.

The special role is a role that shifts from a normal game to a special game (a game in which a medal can be expected more than a normal game). In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, BB (big bonus), MB (middle bonus), and SB (single bonus) are provided as special roles. BB is a role for shifting to a BB game, which is one of special games, and MB is a role for shifting to an MB game, which is another one of special games. Further, the SB is a role for shifting to the SB game which is still another special game. In addition, SB is also a role (RT1 game transition role) that shifts the gaming state to RT1 game when winning when a specific condition (described later) is satisfied at the same time as shifting to SB game.
In addition, although RB (regular bonus) is mentioned as another special role, it is not provided in this embodiment.

Furthermore, a small combination is a combination in which a predetermined number of medals are paid out. In this embodiment, three types of small combination 1, small combination 2, and small combination 3 are provided. The combination of symbols and the number of payouts at the time of winning are set differently for each small role.
Furthermore, the replay is a replaying role that enables a replaying game in which the number of medals inserted in the game is maintained.
In addition, the RT2 game transition combination is a combination that shifts the gaming state to the RT2 game when winning a prize when a specific condition (described later) is satisfied.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, combinations of symbols of the reel 31 corresponding to the various kinds of roles described above are determined in advance. Note that “any” in the small part 1 means that any symbol may be used.
When all the reels 31 are stopped, the combination of symbols corresponding to any of the combinations stops on the active line, and when the winning combination of the combination is won, the number of medals corresponding to the combination is paid out.

In each of the above-mentioned combinations, if the combination of symbols corresponding to the combination does not stop on the active line in the game selected for the combination, a combination that is carried over after the next game and a combination that is not carried over are determined. .
Among the special roles, BB and MB are included as the carry-over. When winning a BB or MB, it is controlled so that when the reel 31 is stopped, the winning combination of the BB or MB is carried over after the next game in the game until the combination of symbols corresponding to the BB or MB stops on the active line. The

  Thus, while winning of BB and MB is carried over, other combinations (SB, small combination 1 to small combination 3, replay and RT2 game transition combination) are not carried over. When a winning combination other than BB or MB is won in the lottery, the winning combination is valid only in the game, and the winning is not carried over after the next game. In other words, in the game where these winning combinations are won, the reel 31 is controlled to stop so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination can be stopped (winning) on the active line. Regardless, at the end of the game, the right to the winning role will cease.

  Note that a game in which a BB or MB is not won (a game in which a BB or MB win is not carried over) is referred to as “non-internal”. Also, in the game or the game before it, BB or MB is won, but the combination of symbols corresponding to the won BB or MB is not stopped on the active line (not winning) (BB or “In-game” is a game in which MB wins are carried over.

  At the start of the game, the player operates the bet switch 40 to insert a previously stored medal, or inserts a medal from the medal insertion slot, and operates the start switch 41 (ON). When the start switch 41 is operated, the number of effective lines is determined and a signal generated at that time is input to the game control means 60. When the game control means 60 (specifically, the reel control means 64 described later) receives this signal, it controls to drive all the motors 32 and rotate all the reels 31. As the reel 31 is rotated by the motor 32 in this way, the symbols on the reel 31 are moved up and down in the display window at a predetermined speed.

  Then, the player presses each stop switch 42 to stop the rotation of each reel 31. When the stop switch 42 is operated, a signal generated at that time is input to the game control means 60. When the game control means 60 (specifically, the reel control means 64 described later) receives this signal, it controls the drive of the motor 32 corresponding to the stop switch 42 and controls the stop of the reel 31 related to the motor 32. I do. When all the reels 31 are stopped, when the combination of symbols on the reels 31 stopped on the effective line matches a predetermined combination of symbols of the winning combination, The medals are paid out according to the winning combination.

The game control means 60 includes the following part lottery means 61 and the like. The following means in the present embodiment are examples, and the game control means 60 is not limited to the means shown in the present embodiment.
The role lottery means 61 performs lottery of a role (the above-mentioned special role, small role, replay, RT2 game transition role). The role lottery means 61 is based on, for example, a random number generation means (hardware random number, etc.) for a role lottery, a random number extraction means for extracting a random number generated by the random number generation means, and a random value extracted by the random number extraction means. And determining means for determining the presence / absence of a winning combination and the winning combination.

  The random number generation means generates random numbers in a predetermined area (for example, 0 to 65535 in decimal notation). The random number is, for example, a random number for which the counter that performs 1 count at 200 n (nano) sec continues to count as a cycle in the range of 0 to 65535, and continues to count the random number while the slot machine 10 is powered on. .

  The random number extracting means extracts the random number generated by the random number generating means at a predetermined time, in this embodiment, when the start switch 41 is turned on by the player. The determination unit determines the combination corresponding to the region to which the random number value belongs by comparing the random number value extracted by the random number extraction unit with a combination lottery table 62 described later. For example, if the extracted random number value belongs to the small role 1 winning area, it is determined that the small role 1 is selected, and if it belongs to the non-winning area, it is determined not to be selected.

  The combination lottery table 62 defines the types of combinations to be selected and the winning probability of each combination. The combination lottery table 62 includes a specific combination lottery table 62 for each gaming state. Each combination lottery table 62 has a predetermined range of lottery areas. The lottery area is divided into a winning area and a non-winning area for each combination. It is set to a predetermined ratio so as to have a winning probability.

  FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 are diagrams showing a winning lottery table 62 for each medal inserted number in each gaming state. In the present embodiment, the gaming state includes a general gaming state (a non-RT gaming state, that is, a gaming state that is not in a special game and is not an RT1 game and an RT2 game), an RT1 gaming state (the winning probability of replay is a non-RT game). Different gaming states (replay winning probability variation gaming state), RT2 gaming state (gaming state in which the replay winning probability is set to a high probability), BB gaming state, MB gaming state, and SB gaming state are provided. In addition, the description about these game states is mentioned later.

  First, in general games (non-RT games), the number of medals inserted is set to be two or three. The combination lottery table 62A used during the general game includes BB, MB, SB, small combination 1 to small combination 3, and a replay winning area and a non-winning area. In addition, the winning probability of SB is set higher when two sheets are inserted and when two sheets are inserted. The same applies to the other combination lottery tables 62. In this embodiment, the winning probability of SB when two sheets are inserted is 1/100, and the winning probability of SB when three sheets are inserted is 1/65536.

  In addition, the winning probabilities of BB and MB differ between when 2 sheets are inserted and when 3 sheets are inserted. In this embodiment, the winning probability of BB when three cards are inserted is set to 1/350, and the winning probability of MB is set to 1/300. On the other hand, the winning probability of BB when two cards are inserted is set to 1/1200, and the winning probability of MB is set to 1/1000. For this reason, during a general game, it is advantageous to play a game by inserting three medals.

Furthermore, when a BB or MB is won in the non-RT game, the RT1 game, and the RT2 game, the internal lottery table 62A is used. The internal lottery table 62A is different from the non-internal role lottery table 62A in that it does not have a winning region for BB, MB, and SB. Other than that, it is the same.
In the present embodiment, one game lottery table 62A is used for general games (inside) regardless of the number of inserted medals.

  The combination lottery table 62B is a combination lottery table 62 used in the RT1 game, and is set so that a game can be played with two or three medals inserted, as in a general game. The winning lottery table 62B differs from the winning lottery table 62A in comparison with the winning lottery table 62A. As shown in FIG. 3, the winning probability of replay during the general game is 1 / 7.3, but the winning probability of replay during the RT1 game is set to 1 / 7.4.

  Furthermore, the combination lottery table 62C is a combination lottery table 62 used in the RT2 game, and is set so that a game can be played with two or three medals inserted in the same manner as a general game. The combination lottery table 62C is different from the combination lottery table 62A in comparison with the combination lottery table 62A. As shown in FIG. 3, the winning probability of replay during RT2 game is set to 1 / 1.2.

Here, the payout rate will be described.
The payout rate is a value indicating the expected value of the payout number with respect to the number of inserted medals. For example, when the expected value of the payout number when 100 medals are inserted is 100, the payout rate is 1. Become.
During the general game and the RT1 game, the payout rate is set to be less than 1. As a result, a gaming state in which the number of owned medals decreases as the game progresses.

  On the other hand, during the RT2 game, the winning rate of the replay is set higher than that of the general game or the RT1 game, so that the payout rate is set to exceed 1. In particular, in this embodiment, the increased number of medals per game is set to 0.6. Thereby, as the game progresses, the game state is such that medals gradually increase.

  Further, in FIG. 4, a role lottery table 62D is a role lottery table 62 used during the BB game. In the BB game, the game can be played only when the number of inserted medals is three. The winning lottery table 62D includes a winning area for only the small roles 1 to 3, and a large winning area for the small role 3. As a result, during the BB game, a game state in which each game and the small role 3 is won is achieved.

The role lottery table 62E is a role lottery table 62 used during the MB game. During MB games, only SB and replay winning areas are provided. Here, the winning probability of SB is set to 1/100 when two cards are inserted, and is set to 1/65536 when three cards are inserted, as in the above-described general game.
Furthermore, the winning probability of replay is set to 5/7. Therefore, it becomes a gaming state in which replays are frequently won.

  Further, the role lottery table 62F is a role lottery table 62 used in the SB game. In the SB game, a game is played with one medal inserted. In the SB game, only the RT2 game transition combination is drawn, and the RT2 game transition combination is set to win with high probability (for example, 95%).

In the game until the combination of symbols corresponding to the BB or MB is stopped on the active line (until the BB or MB wins) when the special combination winning means 63 is won for the special combination BB or MB. , BB or MB is controlled to carry over after the next game.
Although not shown, a special combination flag is provided for each BB and MB, and is turned on when a special combination is won (for example, when a special combination flag relating to BB is turned on when a special combination is won), when BB wins Turned off.

  First, the reel control means 64 controls to start rotation of all (three) reels 31 when the start switch 41 is operated. Further, the reel control means 64 determines a stop position determination table, which will be described later, based on the winning lottery result by the winning lottery means 61 when the stop switch 42 is operated and the timing when the stop switch 42 is operated. The stop position of the reel 31 corresponding to the stop switch 42 is determined with reference to 65, and the motor 32 is driven and controlled to stop the reel 31 at the determined position.

  For example, the reel control means 64 controls to stop the reel 31 so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination is stopped on the effective line within the range of the stop control of the reel 31 in the game won for the winning combination. The reel 31 is controlled to stop so that a combination of symbols corresponding to a combination other than the combination is not stopped on the effective line.

  Here, “within the range of stop control of the reel 31” means within the range of the amount of rotation of the reel 31 (the number of movements of the symbol) from the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated until the reel 31 actually stops. In this embodiment, except for the left reel 31 in the MB game, the number is set within 5 symbols from the symbol at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated. In other words, it means the time during which the reel 31 is within the stop control time range, that is, the time from when the stop switch 42 is operated until the reel 31 actually stops. Except for this, it is set within 190 ms from the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated.

  Thus, any of the symbols up to the number of symbols (5 symbols) within the range of stop control of the reel 31 counted from the symbol at the moment when the operation of the stop switch 42 is detected is a symbol to be stopped on the effective line. When the stop switch 42 is operated, the symbol is controlled to stop at the active line.

  In other words, if the reel 31 is stopped immediately at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated at the time of winning the winning combination, when the symbol related to the winning winning combination does not stop on the effective line, when the reel 31 stops, By controlling the rotational movement of the reel 31 within the “range of control”, the symbol related to the winning combination is controlled to stop as much as possible on the effective line.

  On the contrary, if the reel 31 is stopped immediately at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated when the winning combination is not won, the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination is stopped on the effective line. When the reel 31 is stopped, the reel 31 is controlled to rotate and move within the “reel 31 stop control range” so that the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination is not stopped on the active line.

  In addition, “within the range of stop control of the reel 31” of the left reel 31 in the MB game means two symbols (the symbol at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated and the symbol at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated). It is set within the next symbol). In other words, it is set within 75 ms from the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated.

The stop position determination table 65 determines the stop position of the symbol of the reel 31 from the lottery result of the combination by the combination lottery means 61 and the position of the reel 31 at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated.
The stop position determination table 65 includes a BB table or an MB table used when winning a BB or MB, a small role 1 table, a small role 2 table, and a small role 3 table used when winning a small role 1 to a small role 3, respectively. A replay table used when winning a replay, an RT2 game transition combination table used when winning an RT2 game transition combination, a non-winning table used when winning a combination, an MB gaming table used during an MB game, and the like are provided.

The BB table is used on condition that the BB is won in the game, or the BB is won in the game before the game and is not won in the game. The combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped is determined so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the selected BB is stopped on the effective line, and the combination of symbols corresponding to the role other than the selected BB is not stopped on the effective line. It is.
The MB table is the same as described above, and corresponds to a case where “BB” in the BB table is replaced with “MB”.

The small role 1 table is used on condition that the small role 1 is won in the game, and within the range of the stop control of the reel 31, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 1 is stopped on the effective line, The combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped is determined so that combinations of symbols corresponding to the combinations other than the small combination 1 are not stopped on the effective line.
The small role 2 table, the small role 3 table, the replay table, and the RT2 game transition combination table are the same as described above, and “small role 1” in the small role 1 table is changed to “small role 2”, “small size”, respectively. It corresponds to what is read as "comb 3", "replay", and "RT2 game transition combination".

  In addition, the non-winning table shows the non-winning of the role in the non-RT game, the RT1 game, and the RT2 game (all of which are not inside), the non-winning of the role in the BB game, and the non-winning of the role in the SB game. Used at the time of winning (except when the winning combination in the MB game is not won), the combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped is determined so that the combination of symbols corresponding to any of the winning combinations does not stop on the active line Is.

Although only an outline will be described, a special role priority special role-small role table and a replay priority special role-replay table are provided as the stop position determination table 65 unique to the inside.
The special role priority special role-pocket table is used when a small role is won in the BB or MB, and the combination of symbols corresponding to the BB or MB carrying over the winning is stopped on the active line. If the combination of symbols corresponding to the BB or MB that has been given priority and cannot be stopped on the active line, the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination won in the game is then activated. The combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped is determined so as to be stopped. Further, when the combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination cannot be stopped on the active line, the combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped is set so that the combination of symbols corresponding to any combination is not stopped on the effective line. It has been established.

  In addition, the replay priority special role-replay table is used when the replay is won in the inside of the BB or MB, and priority is given to stopping the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay won in the game on the active line. If the symbol combination corresponding to the selected replay cannot be stopped on the active line, the reel is then set so that the symbol combination corresponding to the BB or MB carrying over the winning is stopped on the active line. 31 is a combination of symbols at the time of stopping. Furthermore, when the symbol combination corresponding to BB or MB cannot be stopped on the effective line, the symbol combination at the time of stopping the reel 31 is set so that the symbol combination corresponding to any combination is not stopped on the effective line. Is stipulated.

In addition, the following stop position determination table 65 is provided as an MB gaming table.
First, an MB game non-winning table is provided as the stop position determination table 65 used when the MB game is non-winning (when SB or replay is not won).
The MB game non-winning table defines a combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination is stopped on the active line. As described above, during the MB game, stop control is performed within 2 symbols for the left reel 31, and within 5 symbols for the middle reel 31 and the right reel 31. Within the range of the stop control, the combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped is determined so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the small combinations 1 to 3 is stopped on the effective line.

  The MB game replay table is used when a replay is won during the MB game, and within the range of the stop control of the reel 31 during the MB game, the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay is stopped on the effective line. And when the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay cannot be stopped on the effective line, the combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role is stopped on the effective line. Is defined. Further, when the combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination cannot be stopped on the active line, the combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped is set so that the combination of symbols corresponding to any combination is not stopped on the effective line. It has been established.

  Furthermore, the SB table during MB game is used when SB is won during MB game, and the combination of symbols corresponding to SB is stopped on the active line within the range of stop control of the reel 31 during MB game. When the combination of symbols corresponding to SB cannot be stopped on the effective line, the symbol combination at the time of stopping the reel 31 is stopped so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role is stopped on the effective line. The combination is determined. Further, when the combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination cannot be stopped on the active line, the combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped is set so that the combination of symbols corresponding to any combination is not stopped on the effective line. It has been established.

  Using the stop position determination table 65 described above, the reel control means 64 responds to the combination within the range of the stop control of the reel 31 when stopping the combination of symbols corresponding to any combination on the effective line. Control is performed so that the symbols constituting the combination of symbols to be stopped are stopped on the active line.

Next, the relationship between the symbol arrangement on the reel 31 and the stop control of the reel 31 in this embodiment will be described.
FIG. 5 is a developed plan view showing a symbol arrangement of each reel 31 in the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 5, all the symbols “RP” are arranged on each reel 31 at intervals within 5 symbols.
Therefore, in a game won for replay, and a game won for replay in a game that carries over the winning of BB or MB (except when replay is won during MB game), the reel at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated Regardless of the position of 31, the symbol “RP” can always be stopped at the desired active line, so that the replay that has been won always wins.

  In addition, when a replay is won during MB game, when the left reel 31 is operated for the first time, if the “RP” symbol of the left reel 31 is operated at the timing when it stops at the effective line, the left reel 31 The symbol “RP” stops on the active line when stopping (for example, when the stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when symbols 18 to 20 are located in the display window, The symbol stops at the active line in the upper or middle horizontal direction). On the other hand, if the “RP” symbol of the left reel 31 is operated at a timing that does not stop on the effective line, the “RP” symbol does not stop on the effective line when the left reel 31 stops (for example, from 16 to 18). When the stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when the previous symbols are located in the display window, the symbol “RP” does not stop at the active line).

  In addition, when the replay is won during the MB game, when the left reel 31 is first stopped and the symbol “RP” stops on any active line, the middle reel 31 and the right reel 31 Even if the stop switch 42 is operated at the position of “”, the symbol “RP” stops on the effective line.

  Therefore, when the replay is won during the MB game, it is advantageous to operate the left stop switch 42 first. This is because, when winning the replay, when the left reel 31 is first stopped, if the symbol “RP” stops on any active line, the winning of the replay is confirmed. On the other hand, when the left reel 31 is stopped second or third, the symbol “RP” of the left reel 31 must be stopped on the effective line where the symbol “RP” is stopped. is there.

  If the “RP” symbols are arranged at intervals of 4 symbols or less on the left reel 31, when the replay is won during the MB game, the left stop switch 42 is first operated, so that any active line is displayed. The symbol “RP” can always be stopped. Therefore, in this case, the winning replay always wins. On the other hand, when the middle or right reel 31 is first stopped, the symbol “RP” of the left reel 31 is not always stopped on the effective line where the symbol “RP” of the middle or right reel 31 is stopped. Absent.

  Further, all the symbols of “bell” are arranged on each reel 31 at intervals of 5 symbols or less. Therefore, in the game where the small role 3 is won (except during the MB game), the “bell” symbol is always displayed in the desired effective line regardless of the position of the reel 31 at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated. The winning small role 3 always wins. In addition, when winning a small role 3 during a game that carries over the winning of BB or MB, the combination of symbols corresponding to BB or MB carrying over the winning cannot always be stopped on the active line. The combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination 3 can be stopped on the active line.

  Furthermore, during the MB game, when the left reel 31 is operated for the first time, if the “bell” symbol of the left reel 31 is operated at the timing when it stops at the effective line, the “bell” is stopped when the left reel 31 is stopped. The symbol “3” stops on the active line (for example, when the stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when the symbols 2 to 4 are located in the display window, the symbol “No. 3” Stop at the middle or lower active line). On the other hand, if the “bell” symbol of the left reel 31 is operated at a timing that does not stop on the effective line, the “bell” symbol does not stop on the effective line when the left reel 31 is stopped (for example, Nos. 4 to 6). When the stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when the previous symbols are located in the display window, the “bell” symbol does not stop at the active line).

Further, during the MB game, when the left reel 31 stops first and the symbol “Bell” stops on any active line, the stop switch 42 at any position for the middle reel 31 and the right reel 31. Even if is operated, the combination of symbols corresponding to “bell” stops on the active line.
Therefore, in order to win the “small role 3” in the MB game, it is advantageous to stop the left reel 31 first, as in the case of replay.

Furthermore, as described above, “RP” and “Bell” are arranged at intervals of 5 symbols or less, so when SB is won in a non-RT game, an RT1 game, or an RT2 game, what timing Even if the stop switch 42 is operated, “bell”-“RP”-“bell”, which is a combination of symbols corresponding to SB, can be stopped on the active line.
Similarly, when an RT2 game transition combination is won during an SB game, the combination of symbols corresponding to the RT2 game transition combination “RP”-“Bell”, no matter what timing the stop switch 42 is operated. -“RP” can be stopped at the active line.

  Also, in the case of winning SB during MB game, when the left reel 31 is operated for the first time, if the “bell” symbol of the left reel 31 is operated at the timing when it stops at the effective line, the left reel 31 When stopped, the “bell” symbol stops at the active line. On the other hand, if the “bell” symbol of the left reel 31 is operated at a timing that does not stop on the effective line, the “bell” symbol does not stop on the effective line when the left reel 31 stops. Furthermore, for the middle reel 31 and the right reel 31, the symbols “RP” and “Bell” can be stopped at a desired effective line regardless of the timing of the stop switch 42 being operated. Therefore, when SB is won during the MB game, it is necessary to look only at the left reel 31.

  Further, in the left reel 31, the symbol “cherry” is arranged at number 14. Thus, during the MB game, the stop switch related to the left reel 31 from the moment when the symbols No. 11 to No. 13 are located in the display window to the moment when the symbols No. 14 to No. 16 are located within the display window. If 42 is operated, the 14th “cherry” symbol stops on the active line. When the stop switch 42 is operated at any other position, the 14th “cherry” symbol does not stop at the active line.

  Further, in order to prevent the small role from being won during the MB game, the left reel 31 is stopped last. During the MB game, the reel 31 is controlled so as to win a small role. Therefore, when the middle reel 31 and the right reel 31 are first stopped, “rotating”-“bell”-“bell”, Or “Rotating” — “Watermelon” — “Watermelon”. In this case, when the left reel 31 is finally stopped, the left reel 31 may be pressed to prevent the same symbol from being stopped on the effective line where the symbols are aligned. For example, when “in rotation” − “bell” − “bell” is reached, for example, if the left stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when positions 9 to 12 of the left reel 31 are located in the display window, It is possible to avoid winning of the third role. The same applies to the small role 2.

  Furthermore, when the last left reel 31 is stopped, if the left stop switch 42 is operated so that the 14th “cherry” symbol does not stop on the active line (for example, symbols 1 to 3 are displayed). If the left stop switch 42 is operated at the moment of being positioned in the display window), the winning of the small combination 1 can be avoided.

  Although not shown in FIG. 5, at least a part of “7” as a symbol constituting BB, “BAR” as a symbol constituting MB, and “watermelon” as a symbol constituting small role 2 are included. Are arranged at positions separated by 6 symbols or more. For this reason, at the time of winning BB, MB, and small role 2, the stop switch 42 must be operated with the aim of stopping these symbols on the active line.

  The stop symbol determination means 66 determines whether or not the symbol combination of the reel 31 stopped on the effective line matches the symbol combination corresponding to any combination when the reel 31 is stopped. The stop symbol determination means 66 determines a symbol on the effective line by detecting, for example, an angle or the number of steps when the motor 32 is stopped.

  The payout means 67 determines that the combination of symbols stopped on the active line when the reel 31 is stopped matches the combination of symbols corresponding to any of the combinations by the stop symbol determination unit 66 and the winning combination is won. In addition, a predetermined number of medals are paid out to the player in accordance with the winning combination, or processing such as credit addition is performed. Further, at the time of replay winning, control is performed so that the number of medals inserted in the game is automatically inserted without paying out medals.

The special game control means 68 controls the start of the special game (shift from the normal game to the special game), the progress of the game during the special game, and the end of the special game.
The special game control means 68 shifts from the normal game to the BB game when the symbol combination corresponding to BB stops on the active line.
In the BB game, a small role (small role 1 to small role 3) is drawn and a game in which the small role 3 is won with high probability.

In the present embodiment, the BB game end condition is set such that the number of medals paid out during the BB game is 400 or more.
Therefore, in this embodiment, the special game control means 68 counts the number of medals paid out during the BB game, and keeps updating the number of coins paid out for each game.
When the special game control means 68 determines that the counted number of payouts is 400 or more, the special game control means 68 determines that the BB game end condition is satisfied.

Further, the special game control means 68 shifts from the normal game to the MB game when the combination of symbols corresponding to the MB stops on the active line.
In the MB game, SB and replay lottery are performed, and a small role lottery is not performed. However, the combination of symbols corresponding to each game and small role is controlled to be able to stop on the active line.
In the present embodiment, the MB game end condition is set such that the number of medals paid out during the MB game is 200 or more.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the special game control means 68 counts the number of medals paid out during the MB game and keeps updating the number of medals paid out for each game.
When the special game control means 68 determines that the counted number of payouts is 200 or more, it determines that the MB game end condition is satisfied.

Furthermore, the special game control means 68 shifts from the normal game to the SB game when the symbol combination corresponding to SB stops on the active line. An SB game is played only for one game. During the SB game, as shown in FIG. 4, the RT2 game transition combination is drawn.
Then, the special game control means 68 controls to end the SB game when the game (one game) is ended.

  The game state control means 69 controls the transition of the game state. As described above, the gaming state includes a non-RT game, an RT1 game, an RT2 game, a BB game, an MB game, and an SB game. Then, the game state control means 69 continues to determine whether or not the condition for shifting the game state is satisfied, and when it is determined that the condition is satisfied, control is performed so that the game state is shifted.

FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the gaming state.
In FIG. 6, when SB (RT1 game transition role) wins and wins a non-RT game (not inside), the game moves to RT1 game. In this embodiment, when the game is a non-RT game, when the SB wins, the game shifts to the RT1 game, but in other game states, the game does not shift to the RT1 game. In the next game, the SB game during the RT1 game is executed. In this SB game, even if the RT2 game transition combination wins, the game state transition is invalidated. In order to shift to the RT2 game when the RT2 game transition combination wins, it is a condition that the RT2 game transition combination has won in a game other than the RT1 game and the RT2 game.

When the SB game ends, the RT1 game is continued from the next game. The RT1 game is executed until BB or MB is won or the specified number of games (500 games) is reached. When the specified number of games is reached, the game shifts to a non-RT game (non-inside).
Note that if a SB is won in a non-RT game (non-inside) but no winning is made (in this embodiment, it is always won), the non-RT game is continued. Furthermore, even if the SB wins / wins during the RT1 game, the gaming state does not change. Further, even if the RT2 game transition combination wins in the SB game during the RT1 game, there is no transition of the gaming state.

If a BB or MB is won during a non-RT game or RT1 game, a transition is made to a non-RT game (inside). If BB wins in this non-RT game (inside), the BB game is executed from the next game. The BB game is continued until the payout number reaches the specified number (400). When the specified number is reached, the BB game is terminated and the next game is shifted to the RT2 game. The RT2 game is executed until BB or MB is won or the specified number of games (300 games) is reached. Note that even if SB wins or wins during RT2 game, there is no transition of the gaming state. Further, even if the RT2 game transition combination wins in the SB game during the RT2 game, there is no transition of the game state.
When BB or MB is won during RT2 game, it shifts to non-RT game (inside). On the other hand, when the specified number of games is reached during the RT2 game, the game shifts to a non-RT game (non-inside).

  In addition, when an MB is won in a non-RT game (inside), the MB game is executed from the next game. The MB game is continued until the payout number reaches the specified number (200) or until SB wins. When the payout number in the MB game reaches the specified number, the MB game is terminated and the next game is shifted to the non-RT game (non-inside).

On the other hand, when the SB wins during the MB game, the MB game ends with the winning of the SB. However, winning of the SB in the MB game does not satisfy the game state transition condition, so there is no game state transition. And when SB wins, in the next game, SB game is executed. In this SB game, as described above, the lottery of the RT2 game transition combination is performed. When the RT2 game transition combination wins / wins, the next game shifts to the RT2 game. That is, the SB game in this case is not an SB game in the RT1 game or the RT2 game, and therefore satisfies the game state transition condition. In addition, when the RT2 game transition combination is won in the SB game but is not won, the game shifts from the next game to the non-RT game (non-inside).
On the other hand, when the SB is won in the MB game but is not won, the MB game is finished and the next game is shifted to the non-RT game (non-inside).

Even if the SB wins or wins during the RT1 game or the RT2 game, there is no transition of the game state.
Even if SB wins in the RT1 game or the RT2 game, the transition of the game state becomes invalid.
Also, when RT1 game or RT2 game is being executed, even if the transition to the SB game and the RT2 game transition combination wins, the transition to the RT2 game does not occur (the game state transition based on the RT2 game transition combination winning is Disabled).

The effect control means 70 controls the output of effects from the above-described effect output devices (the lamp 21, the speaker 22, and the image display device 23).
The effect control means 70 selects an effect pattern for each game based on the lottery result of the combination by the combination lottery means 61. Particularly in this embodiment, a plurality of types of effect patterns are provided in advance. Then, the effect control means 70 selects one effect pattern by lottery using software random numbers after the role lottery means 61 has been drawn at the start of the game.

In addition, a plurality of types of production patterns are provided according to the winning combination. For example, a plurality of types of effect patterns are provided for each special role winning, small role winning, replay winning, non-winning, and the like.
As for the production pattern, as to the progress of the game, at what timing (when the start switch 41 is operated, when each stop switch 42 is operated, etc.) what kind of production is output (how the lamp 21 is lit) And what kind of sound is output from the speaker 22, what kind of image is displayed on the image display device 23, etc.).
Then, the effect control means 70 controls to output an effect from the effect output device at a predetermined timing according to the selected effect pattern.

  In addition, when the SB is won during the MB game, the effect control means 70 controls to notify the player to that effect. This is because SB cannot be won unless the left reel 31 is pushed.

In the above configuration, in the non-RT game, the RT1 game, and the RT2 game, the player inserts three medals and plays the game. This is because when two cards are inserted, the winning probability of BB and MB is lower than when three cards are inserted, so it is advantageous to play a game with three cards inserted.
In addition, if the SB wins / wins during a non-RT game, it shifts to the RT1 game which is disadvantageous for the player, so it is advantageous not to win the SB. As described above, when three cards are inserted, the winning probability of SB is lower than when two cards are inserted, so that a game with three cards inserted is more advantageous.

  On the other hand, in MB games, it is more advantageous for SB to win and win and shift to RT2 games with a high payout rate, rather than reaching the specified number of payouts and shifting to non-RT games. Become. Here, as described above, in this embodiment, it is easier to win SB when two sheets are inserted. Therefore, the player plays a game by inserting two cards during the MB game.

  During the MB game, when the payout number is close to the specified number, the player deliberately tries not to win the small role (does not reach the specified number) and wins the SB. It is advantageous to wait. During MB games, the number of payouts at the time of replay winning is not counted. Therefore, during the MB game, when the replay is won, the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay may be operated so as to stop on the active line.

Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications as described below are possible.
(1) For example, in this embodiment, a medal is used as a game medium. However, the present invention is also applied to a slot machine using a game medium other than a medal, such as a slot machine (parrot) using a game ball. Can do.

(2) In the present embodiment, in the non-RT game, when the SB wins / wins, the game shifts to the RT1 game. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when a winning combination is not won, control may be performed so that a specific outcome appears with a predetermined probability, and when this outcome appears, control may be performed so as to shift to the RT1 game.
(3) In this embodiment, when an SB is won during an MB game, the winning SB is not won unless it is pushed. However, not limited to this, when an SB is won during an MB game. The combination of symbols and the symbol arrangement of the reels 31 may be set so that the symbol combination corresponding to SB always stops at the effective line without pressing.

(4) In this embodiment, the SB lottery is performed even when three cards are inserted. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the SB lottery is not performed when the three cards are inserted (SB winning probability is set to 0). ) It is only necessary that the winning probability of SB when two cards are inserted during the MB game is higher than the winning probability of SB when one or three cards are inserted.
(5) During MB games, the winning probability of replay is set higher than that of non-RT games, but not limited to this, the winning probability of replay may be set to about 1 / 7.3 in MB games. .
(6) In the present embodiment, except for the left reel 31 during the MB game, the maximum number of moving symbols is 5 symbols, and the maximum number of moving symbols of the left reel 31 during the MB game is 2 symbols. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and during MB gaming, the number of moving symbols may be set to be smaller than the maximum number of moving symbols for at least one reel 31 during normal times.

(7) In this embodiment, BB is provided as one of the special roles. However, it is also possible to provide RB at the same time as BB or provide only RB.
(8) The winning combination probability is not limited to the value shown in the present embodiment, and can be changed to various values. In particular, the winning probability of SB during MB game is set to 1/100. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the number of games during MB game can be secured to some extent, and then SB is won and MB game ends. It is preferable to set the value.

(9) The prescribed number of games for RT1 games and RT2 games is not limited to the values shown in this embodiment, and may be set to any value.
(10) The winning probability of replay during RT2 game is set to 1 / 1.2, but the present invention is not limited to this and can be variously set. By setting the replay winning probability, the small role winning probability, and the number of payouts, it is possible to set the RT2 game to a gaming state in which medals hardly decrease or a gaming state in which medals gradually increase.
