<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a spin drum type game machine which can enhance performance effect by displaying the degree of expectation for the winning of the major winning combination over a plurality of times. <P>SOLUTION: A normal performance as for games is carried out by an image display part 30 and a performance for the degree of expectation for expressing the degree of expectation for the winning of the major winning combination is carried out by three chance lamps 442a, 442b and 442c. The degree of expectation for the winning of the major winning combination is expressed by how many of the chance lamps light. When the first game is in the RT1 (replay time) game status, a CPU 83 of a performance control board 80 controls the chance lamps to make the chance lamps cumulatively express the degree of expectation for the winning of the major winning combination during the entire period of the RT1 game status. Immediately before the end of the RT1 game status, the CPU 83 determines whether the normal performance for reporting whether the winning of the major winning combination occurs or not is executed by the image display part 30 or not at a prescribed probability corresponding to the number of the chance lamps lit at the moment. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT

Description

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

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

  The main control board controls game contents such as control of the reel reel. Specifically, the main control board acquires a random number value when the start lever is pressed, and performs a lottery process for a combination based on the acquired random value. In the winning lottery process, the main control board determines whether or not the random number value corresponds to a predetermined hit value, thereby determining a plurality of types of roles including a large role, a small role, and a replaying role. It is determined which of the roles won and which of the roles was not won. The main control board controls the stopping operation of each spinning reel so as to allow the winning of the winning combination determined in the winning lottery in each game. In addition, when the result of the lottery is the winning of the big game, the main control board allows the game result to become the winning of the big game until the game result of winning the big game is obtained. Thus, the stopping operation of each reel reel is controlled.

  The main control board controls the transition of the gaming state based on the result of the role lottery, the result of the game, and the like. For example, when the result of the game is a big game winning, the main control board shifts the gaming state to the big gaming state. This major role gaming state is a gaming state where the winning probability of the small role has been dramatically improved. After the big game state ends, the main control board shifts the game state to the RT game state (see, for example, Patent Document 1). This RT gaming state is a gaming state in which the winning probability of the re-gamer due to the role lottery is set high. For this reason, in the RT gaming state, the number of medals owned by the player is not greatly reduced. In this regard, it can be said that the RT gaming state is an advantageous gaming state for the player. Here, the RT gaming state ends when the result of the game is a big game prize or when the number of games in the RT gaming state reaches a predetermined number.

  The directing means performs an effect related to the game according to the game situation. The production control board determines the production content based on the result of the lottery drawing from the main control board, and controls the production means according to the decided production content. Specifically, when the start lever is pressed, the production control board performs the production lottery using the production lottery table in which the lottery probability for determining the production content is determined for each result of the role lottery, and determines the production content. . The contents of the effects include the contents of effects to be performed at each operation timing such as when the start lever is pressed and when the three stop buttons are pressed in this game. In general, a plurality of types of effect lottery tables are provided depending on whether or not a major player has been won and the game state. In particular, a gaming machine equipped with a level meter that displays an expectation degree for a result of a role lottery has recently been proposed as one of the production means (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

JP-A-6-335560 Japanese Patent No. 2945573

  By the way, in the swivel type game machine to which the prior art shown in Patent Document 2 is applied, an expectation degree for the result of the lottery drawing is displayed by a level meter. Since it is for the result of the lottery, the degree of expectation displayed on the level meter changes with the game. For example, even if the player receives great expectations due to the content of the expectation displayed on the level meter during the previous game, if the content of the expectation displayed on the level meter in the current game is low, The big expectation received in this game cannot be maintained in this game. Even if such a level meter is used, it is not possible to expect a great effect. In fact, what is most interesting for the player is whether or not he has been elected as a major player. Therefore, in order to enhance the effect of the production, it is desired to realize a rotating type gaming machine capable of displaying the expectation degree for the big role winning over a plurality of games.

  The present invention has been made based on the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a revolving type gaming machine capable of enhancing the effect of production by displaying a degree of expectation for winning a major player over a plurality of games. It is.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has a plurality of symbol display means capable of a variable display for changing a plurality of symbols and a stop display for stopping the variable display, and the plurality of symbol display means is a variable display. If the combination of symbols when the plurality of symbol display means stop display after starting the game becomes a combination of symbols corresponding to various combinations, a spinning game that executes a game in which the game result is a winning of the combination In the machine, the various roles include a major player who can execute a game advantageous to the player by winning and a re-gamer who can play the game again without throwing in game media by winning. A winning lottery means for determining a predetermined role from among the various winning combinations by lottery every time a game is started, and winning of the winning combination in which each game result is determined by the winning lottery means To become a While controlling the stop display of the plurality of symbol display means to allow, if the leading role is determined by the winning lottery means, until the game result of winning of the leading role is obtained, The stop display of the plurality of symbol display means is controlled so as to allow the result to be a winning combination of the major player, and the general gaming state which is a normal gaming state, and the winning lottery by the winning lottery means A game that controls the transition of the game state according to the game state between a plurality of game states including a special game state in which the probability that the re-gamer is determined is set higher than in the case of the general game state The control means, the general effect means for performing a general effect related to the game, and the condition for ending the special game state include a condition that the number of games in the special game state has reached a predetermined upper limit number of times. When the condition that the game result of winning of the main character is obtained before the number of games in the special game state reaches the upper limit number of times is defined, and the game state is the special game state, Expectation degree production means for performing an expectation degree production for expressing the degree of expectation that the winning of the major player is permitted, and a plurality of lottery probabilities for each content of the general production are determined for each result of the lottery drawing A storage means for storing a plurality of expectation effect lottery tables in which a lottery probability for each content of the general effect lottery table and the expectation effect effect is determined for each result of the role lottery result, and a result of the role lottery from the game control means Each time information is sent, the content of the general effect is determined by lottery using the predetermined general effect lottery table stored in the storage means, and the general content of the determined content is determined. When the general effect means executes the effect and the game state is the special game state, every time information related to the result of the lottery is sent from the game control means, a predetermined value stored in the storage means is stored. The content of the expectation degree effect is determined by lottery using the expectation degree effect lottery table, and the effect control means for causing the expectation degree effect means to execute the expected degree effect of the determined content is provided. Here, the expectation effect lottery table used when the effect control means decides the content of the expectation effect is whether the winning combination of the major player is permitted at the time of the current role lottery and the expectation effect means The expectation degree expressed by the expectation degree directing means is the current expectation degree that is predetermined according to the current expectation degree that is expressed and that can be determined using each of the expectation degree lottery tables. It does not include the expectation level of content that is lower than the expectation level. Further, the plurality of general effect lottery tables include a plurality of general effect lottery tables for special game states used when the gaming state is the special game state, and the effect control means includes: The general effect lottery table for the special game state used when determining the contents of the general effect is whether the winning of the major player is permitted at the time of the current character lottery, the number of times of the current game in the special game state, And when the number of times of the current game in the special game state is a number equal to or less than a predetermined reference number, which is determined in advance according to the current expectation level expressed by the expectation level direction means. In the general effect lottery table for the special gaming state, the probability of determining the general effect of notifying whether the winning of the major player is permitted is zero. And is used when the number of times of the current game in the special gaming state is higher than the reference number, and the current expectation is higher than the lowest expectation. In the general effect lottery table for the special game state, the current game expectation is lower than the high expectation in the case where the number of times of the current game in the special game state is the same as the above number of times. Compared to the general effect lottery table for the special gaming state used in this case, the probability of determining the general effect of notifying whether the winning of the major player is permitted is set higher.

  With the above-described configuration, in the spinning-reel game machine according to the present invention, in addition to the general effect means for performing general effects related to games, the degree of expectation that winning of a major player is permitted when the game state is a special game state Expectation degree directing means for performing the expectation degree effect for expressing (the expectation degree of winning the major role) is provided. Here, since the special game state is a game state in which the probability that a re-gamer is determined by a role lottery is set high, the game medium held by the player while the game state is in the special game state The number of people is expected to increase. The effect control means determines the contents of the general effects by lottery using the predetermined general effect lottery table, causes the general effects means to execute the general effect of the determined contents, and sets the predetermined expectation effect lottery table. The content of the expectation degree effect is determined by lottery, and the expectation effect effect of the determined content is executed by the expectation effect means. The expectation effect that can be determined by using each expectation effect lottery table does not include an expectation effect having a content of lowering the expectation degree expressed by the expectation effect means than the current expectation degree. Thereby, the expectation degree directing means can progressively express the expectation degree of the big role winning over the period in which the gaming state is the special gaming state. For this reason, the player's interest can be directed to the extent to which the degree of expectation increases during the special gaming state, so that the effect can be enhanced and the game performance can be improved.

  Further, in the general effect lottery table for the special gaming state used when the number of times of the current game in the special gaming state is equal to or less than the reference number, a general content that informs whether the winning of the major player is permitted The probability that the production is determined is set to zero, and the number of times of the current game in the special game state is more than the reference number, and the current expectation is higher than the lowest expectation In the general effect lottery table for the special gaming state used in the case where the number of times of the current game in the special gaming state is the same as the above number of times, the current expectation is higher than the high expectation Compared with the general performance lottery table for special gaming state used when the degree of expectation is low, the general content is to inform whether or not the winning of a major player is allowed The probability that the output is determined is set to be higher. Thus, for example, if the above-mentioned reference number is set to a number close to the upper limit number of games in the special game state, the special game state has the general effect of informing whether or not the winning of the major player is permitted. Since it is possible not to play until just before ending, it is possible to give the player a sense of ending the special gaming state by digesting all of the upper limit number of games, and the player can expect It is possible to keep the player having the expectation of winning the big role received from the degree of expectation expressed by the player throughout the period in which the gaming state is the special gaming state.

  Further, in the rotary type gaming machine according to the present invention, the expectation degree production means is composed of a plurality of display lamps, and the winning of a major player is allowed as the number of lighting of the plurality of display lamps increases. It is desirable to express a higher degree of expectation for being. Thereby, the player can easily grasp the degree of expectation that the winning of the major player is allowed only by looking at the number of lighting of the plurality of display lamps.

  According to the swing type gaming machine of the present invention, the expectation degree directing means can progressively express the expectation degree of winning the major role over a period in which the gaming state is the special gaming state. For this reason, the player's interest can be directed to the extent to which the degree of expectation increases during the special gaming state, so that the effect can be enhanced and the game performance can be improved. In addition, when the gaming state is the special gaming state, it is possible to prevent the general effect of notifying whether the winning of the major player is permitted until just before the special gaming state ends. In addition, it is possible to give the player a sense of ending all of the upper limit number of games and ending the special game state, and also expecting the expectation of the major player winning from the expectation expressed by the expectation directing means The player can continue to have the game state during the period when the game state is the special game state.

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

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

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

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

  In the spinning cylinder type gaming machine of this embodiment, one game can be played by inserting one, two, or three medals. Inserting one, two, or three medals is a condition for playing the game. For this reason, when playing a game, the player inserts one, two, or three medals from the medal slot 13, or one medal and two medals from the current medal credit number. The number of credits for 3 minutes or 3 medals must be used.

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

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

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

  In the present embodiment, five winning lines for stopping the three reel reels 11a, 11b, and 11c and aligning predetermined symbols are set. That is, three lines extending in the horizontal direction through each of the upper, middle and lower portions of the display window 12, lines extending from the upper left to the lower right of the display window 12, and from the lower left to the upper right of the display window 12. And a line that extends. The effective pay line varies depending on how many medals are used to play the game. When a game is played using a single medal, only one winning line that passes through the central portion of the display window 12 and extends in the horizontal direction is an effective winning line. When a game is played using two medals, only three winning lines extending in the horizontal direction through the upper, central and lower parts of the display window 12 are effective winning lines. When a game is played using three medals, all five winning lines are valid winning lines. When the three reel reels 11a, 11b, and 11c are stopped, if a combination of predetermined symbols is aligned on an effective winning line among the five winning lines, the game result is a winning combination corresponding to the combination. Become.

  There are two types of roles: Bell Small, Watermelon Small, Cherry Small, First Big Bonus (BB1), Second Big Bonus (BB2), and Challenge Time Big Bonus (CTBB). And re-playing role. Among these, the bell small part, the watermelon small part, and the cherry small part are referred to as small parts that are small hits. When the player wins the small bell role by the lottery process of the main control board 70, the player can align the three bell symbols on the effective winning line in the game. When the three bell symbols are aligned on an effective winning line, the winning of the bell small role is achieved. In addition, when a watermelon small combination is won by the lottery process of the combination by the main control board 70, the player can arrange three watermelon symbols on an effective winning line in the game. When the three watermelon symbols are aligned on an effective winning line, a watermelon small character wins. Furthermore, when a cherry small role is won by a lottery process of a role by the main control board 70, the player can stop the cherry symbols arranged on the left reel reel 11a in the game on an effective winning line. Become. Then, when the cherry symbol arranged on the left reel reel 11a stops on the effective winning line, the winning of the cherry small role is achieved. Thus, when winning a small combination, a predetermined number of medals are paid out according to the type of the small combination. For example, eight medals are paid out when winning the small bell role, seven medals are paid out when winning the small watermelon role, and four medals are paid out when winning the cherry small role.

  BB1, BB2, and CTBB are major players called so-called bonuses. When BB1 is won by the lottery process of the role by the main control board 70, the player can arrange three red 7 symbols (BB1 symbols) on an effective winning line. When the BB1 symbols are aligned on an effective winning line, a BB1 winning is obtained. On the other hand, when BB2 is won by the winning lottery process by the main control board 70, the player can arrange three blue 7 symbols (BB2 symbols) on an effective winning line. When the BB2 symbols are aligned on an effective winning line, a BB2 winning is obtained. When winning a prize at BB1 or BB2, the BB game advantageous to the player is executed in the spinning-type gaming machine. In the BB game, the win probability of the small role is dramatically improved, and the player can acquire a large amount of medals in a short time. This BB game ends when the cumulative payout number of medals exceeds 345, for example.

  In addition, when CTBB is won through the lottery process of the role by the main control board 70, the player arranges the combination of symbols (CTBB symbol) of red 7 symbol, red 7 symbol, and BAR symbol in order from the left on an effective winning line. Will be able to. When the CTBB symbols are aligned on a valid pay line, a CTBB win is awarded. When winning the CTBB, a CTBB game advantageous to the player is executed in the spinning-type gaming machine. In the CTBB game, the reel control becomes a special control state, and regardless of the lottery result of the combination, any small combination can be aligned on an effective winning line depending on the skill of the player. This CTBB game ends when the cumulative payout number of medals exceeds 200, for example.

  There are two types of re-playing roles: Replay A role and Replay B role. When the replay A role is won by the lottery process of the role by the main control board 70, the player can arrange three blue replay symbols (replay A symbols) on an effective winning line in the game. When the Replay A symbols are aligned on an effective winning line, the Replay A role is won. In addition, when the replay B role is won by the lottery process of the role by the main control board 70, the player wins an effective combination of the blue replay symbol, blue replay symbol and red replay symbol (replay B symbol) in the game. It becomes possible to align on the line. Then, when the Replay B symbols are aligned on an effective winning line, the Replay B role is won. When winning the Replay A role or Replay B role, the spinning-reel game machine is considered to be in the re-playing state, that is, the same number of medals used in the current game are automatically inserted. However, it is possible to play the game again without newly inserting medals. In this embodiment, since the re-gamer does not pay out medals, the re-gamer is not included in the small game, but a new medal insertion operation for the next game is unnecessary, so Assuming that the used medals have been paid out, it is possible to treat the re-playing role as a small role.

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

  The image display unit 30 is provided on the upper side of the display window 12. In the present embodiment, a liquid crystal display device is used as the image display unit 30. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the image display unit 30 includes a liquid crystal panel 31 and a liquid crystal control substrate 32. The liquid crystal panel 31 is disposed at the upper center of the display window 12. The liquid crystal control board 32 controls the liquid crystal panel 31. The image display unit 30 variably displays images of a plurality of characters, numbers, figures, characters, etc. on the screen of the liquid crystal panel 31 so that the advance notice of the combination, notification of predetermined information, and other general effects related to the game I do. The effect control of the image display unit 30 is performed by the effect control board 80 based on a command (command signal) from the main control board 70.

  The illumination display unit 40 performs a general effect, an expectation effect, a game state notification effect, and the like related to a game by lighting a plurality of display lamps (display elements). The contents of each production will be described in detail later. In the present embodiment, a light-emitting diode is used as the display lamp. The lighting display unit 40 is controlled by the effect control board 80 based on a command from the main control board 70. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the electrical display unit 40 includes a top lamp unit 41, a left side lamp unit 42, a right side lamp unit 43, a left panel lamp unit 44, and a right panel. And a lamp unit 45.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the top lamp unit 41 is provided on the back side of the front door and at the upper portion of the outer periphery thereof. The left side lamp unit 42 is provided on the back side of the front door and on the left upper part and center part of the outer periphery thereof, and the right side lamp unit 43 is provided on the back side of the front door and right side upper part and center part thereof. Is provided.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the left panel lamp unit 44 is provided behind the front door and inside the left side lamp unit 42. Specifically, five panel portions are formed on the left side of the display window 12, and a left panel lamp unit 44 is provided in a portion corresponding to these five panel portions. And the left panel lamp unit 44 is divided into five groups according to each panel part. The lighting control of the left panel lamp unit 44 is performed for each group.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the right panel lamp unit 45 is provided behind the front door and inside the right side lamp unit 43. Specifically, three panel portions are formed on the right side of the display window 12, and a right panel lamp unit 45 is provided in a portion corresponding to these three panel portions. And the right panel lamp unit 45 is divided into three groups according to each panel part. The lighting control of the right panel lamp unit 45 is performed for each group.

  In particular, in the present embodiment, among the five groups constituting the left panel lamp unit 44, the two groups corresponding to the first and second panel portions from the top and the right panel lamp unit 45 are constituted. These three groups are used as first gaming state notification lamps 441a, 441b, 451a, 451b, 452, respectively. As will be described in detail later, there are two types of gaming states, the first gaming state and the second gaming state, in the swivel type gaming machine of the present embodiment, and each of the first gaming state and the second gaming state includes a plurality of gaming states. A gaming state is defined. The first gaming state notification lamps 441a, 441b, 451a, 451b, 452 are for reporting the current first gaming state. The lighting mode of these first game state notification lamps 441a, 441b, 451a, 451b, 452 will be described later.

  Of the five groups constituting the left panel lamp unit 44, the three groups corresponding to the first, second and third panel portions from the bottom are the chance lamps 442a, 442b and 442c. We are using. The chance lamps 442a, 442b, and 442c perform the expectation effect for expressing the expectation degree of winning the big role when the first gaming state is a specific gaming state (the RT1 gaming state described later). This expectation degree effect is performed every time the game is performed, but the basic lighting states of the three chance lamps 442a, 442b, and 442c at the end point of the expectation effect effect are all three chance lamps 442a, 442b, and 442c. There are four lighting states: non-lighting, lighting of only one chance lamp 442a, lighting of only two chance lamps 442a and 442b, and lighting of all of the chance lamps 442a, 442b and 442c. Then, the expected degree of winning the big role is expressed by the number of lighting of the chance lamps. Specifically, the greater the number of chance lamps that are lit, the higher the chance lamp expresses the expectation of winning the big role. Therefore, the player can easily grasp the degree of expectation of winning the big role only by looking at the number of lighting of the chance lamps. It should be noted that the content of the expectation level expressed by the chance lamps 442a, 442b, 442c does not suggest the fact that the player is elected as a major player. Such expression of expectation is only one effect. Hereinafter, the chance lamp 442a is also referred to as “first chance lamp 442a”, the chance lamp 442b is also referred to as “second chance lamp 442b”, and the chance lamp 442c is also referred to as “third chance lamp 442c”.

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

  The image display unit 30, the electric display unit (excluding the panel lamp units 44 and 45) 40 and the speaker unit 50 correspond to the general effect means of the present invention, and the chance lamps 442a, 442b and 442c are the expectation of the present invention. Corresponds to the degree production means.

  Next, the main control board 70 will be described. The main control board 70 mainly controls and manages game contents and medal payout. As shown in FIG. 2, the main control board 70 includes random number generating means 71, ROM 72, RAM 73, and CPU 74. The ROM 72 stores various programs related to game content control and the like. The RAM 73 is a work memory that temporarily stores a plurality of game data used for game control. The game data includes, for example, game data related to the number of inserted medals, game data related to the number of credits of medals, game data related to a game state, and the like.

  The CPU 74 executes a program stored in the ROM 72 to control game contents based on the plurality of game data while updating the plurality of game data. Specifically, the CPU 74 serves as a role lottery means for performing a role lottery process based on a random value, a process for driving / stopping the spinning reels 11a, 11b, and 11c, management of the game state, and a command to the effect control board 80 It plays a role as a game control means for performing the transmission processing and the like.

  First, game state management will be described. The swivel type gaming machine of this embodiment has two types of game states, a first game state and a second game state. The CPU 74 independently controls the transition of the first gaming state and the transition of the second gaming state based on the game situation, that is, the result of the role lottery performed when the game is started and the result of the game. To do. The first gaming state is a gaming state determined according to the difference in game contents, while the second gaming state is a gaming state determined according to whether or not a major player is elected.

  As the second gaming state, “a major non-internal state”, “BB1 internal state”, “BB2 internal state”, and “CTBB internal state” are defined. The “no major internal non-internal state” refers to a normal gaming state, that is, a gaming state that is neither the internal internal state of BB1, the internal internal state of BB2, or the internal state of CTBB. If the second gaming state is the non-internal middle state, the CPU 74 immediately shifts the second gaming state from the non-internal state to the internal BB1 state when winning the BB1 by the lottery. The “internal state of BB1” is a gaming state in a period from when BB1 is won by winning lottery until winning BB1. When the second gaming state is the BB1 internal state, the player is given an opportunity to align the BB1 symbols on an effective winning line by operating his / her stop button 19a, 19b, 19c. When the BB1 symbols are aligned on a valid pay line, the CPU 74 immediately shifts the second gaming state from the BB1 internal state to the major player non-internal state.

  Further, when the second gaming state is the non-internal state in the big role, when the winning combination BB2 is won, the CPU 74 immediately shifts the second gaming state from the non-inside internal state in the main role to the internal state in BB2. The “internal state of BB2” is a gaming state in a period from when BB2 is won by winning lottery until winning BB2. When the second game state is the BB2 internal state, the player is given an opportunity to align the BB2 symbols on an effective winning line by operating his / her own stop button 19a, 19b, 19c. When the BB2 symbols are aligned on a valid pay line, the CPU 74 immediately shifts the second gaming state from the BB2 internal state to the major player non-internal state.

  Further, when the second gaming state is the non-internal middle state, when the CTBB is won by the lottery, the CPU 74 immediately shifts the second gaming state from the non-internal state to the internal state of the CTBB. The “internal state of CTBB” is a gaming state in a period from when winning CTBB by winning lottery until winning CTBB. When the second gaming state is a state inside the CTBB, the player is given an opportunity to align the CTBB symbols on an effective winning line by operating his / her stop button 19a, 19b, 19c. When the CTBB symbols are aligned on a valid pay line, the CPU 74 immediately shifts the second gaming state from the CTBB internal state to the major non-internal state. In the following, “BB1 internal medium state”, “BB2 internal medium state”, and “CTBB internal medium state” will be collectively referred to as “big actor internal medium state”.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the first gaming state. In the swivel type gaming machine of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, as the first gaming state, “general gaming state”, “RT1 gaming state”, “RT2 gaming state”, “RT3 gaming state”, “BB” “Game state” and “CTBB game state” are defined. In the following, “BB gaming state” and “CTBB gaming state” are collectively referred to as “major gaming state”, and “RT1 gaming state”, “RT2 gaming state” and “RT3 gaming state” are collectively referred to as “RT gaming. Also referred to as “state”. Furthermore, “RT1 gaming state” corresponds to the special gaming state of the present invention.

  The “general gaming state” is a normal gaming state in which a normal game is played. In such a regular game, a medal can be obtained when a small role is won by a role lottery and the game result is a prize for the small role. In a normal game, BB1, BB2, or CTBB may be won by a role lottery.

  As shown in FIG. 4, there are four first gaming states that can be shifted from the general gaming state: an RT1 gaming state, an RT2 gaming state, a BB gaming state, and a CTBB gaming state. Specifically, when the first gaming state is the general gaming state and the second gaming state is the BB1 internal state (or BB2 internal state), the BB1 symbol (or BB2 symbol) is on the winning line As soon as they are aligned, the CPU 74 immediately shifts the first gaming state from the general gaming state to the BB gaming state. Similarly, when the first gaming state is the general gaming state and the second gaming state is the internal state of the CTBB, the CPU 74 immediately changes the first gaming state to the general gaming when the CTBB symbols are aligned on a valid pay line. Transition from the state to the CTBB gaming state. In addition, when the first gaming state is a general gaming state and the second gaming state is a non-internal internal state, the winning combination is a replay A role by lot drawing, and the replay A symbol is valid in the game. As soon as they are aligned, the CPU 74 immediately shifts the first gaming state from the general gaming state to the RT2 gaming state. On the other hand, if the first game state is the general game state and the second game state is the non-internal middle state, the replay B role is won by the role lottery and the replay B symbol is valid in the game. As soon as they are aligned, the CPU 74 immediately shifts the first gaming state from the general gaming state to the RT1 gaming state. However, if the first gaming state is the general gaming state and the second gaming state is the internal state of the main character (BB1 internal state, BB2 internal state or CTBB internal state), the replay is performed in this game. Even if winning the A role or the Replay B role, the transition to the first gaming state is not performed.

  The “BB gaming state” is a gaming state in which a player can win the most amount of medals by playing a BB game in which the winning probability of a small role is dramatically improved. The BB game ends when the cumulative payout number of medals exceeds 345. When the BB game ends, the CPU 74 immediately shifts the first gaming state from the BB gaming state to the general gaming state, as shown in FIG. The “CTBB gaming state” is a gaming state in which a player can win a large number of medals after the BB gaming state by performing a CTBB game. The CTBB game ends when the cumulative payout number of medals exceeds 200. When the CTBB game ends, the CPU 74 immediately shifts the first gaming state from the CTBB gaming state to the RT3 gaming state as shown in FIG.

  “RT1 gaming state”, “RT2 gaming state”, and “RT3 gaming state” are gaming states in which an RT game is played. In such an RT game, the probability of winning the Replay A role and the probability of winning the Replay B role in the role lottery process based on random numbers are set to values different from the probabilities in the normal game. Therefore, it can be said that the RT1 gaming state, the RT2 gaming state, and the RT3 gaming state are gaming states in which the winning probability of the Replay A role and the winning probability of the Replay B role are changed as compared with the general gaming state. Here, when comparing the RT1 gaming state and the RT2 gaming state, the RT2 gaming state and the RT3 gaming state, and the RT3 gaming state and the RT1 gaming state, at least one of the winning probability of the Replay A role and the winning probability of the Replay B role is different. ing. In addition, the RT1 gaming state, the RT2 gaming state, and the RT3 gaming state, respectively, continue in principle until the RT game is consumed a predetermined number of times (upper limit number). Specifically, the RT game is played up to 50 times in the RT1 gaming state, the RT game is played up to 773 times in the RT2 gaming state, and the RT game is played up to 15 times in the RT3 gaming state. In the RT game, as in the normal game, a medal can be obtained when a small role is won by a role lottery and the game result is a prize for the small role. Also, in the RT game, as in the normal game, BB1, BB2, or CTBB may be won by winning lottery. “RT” is an abbreviation for replay time.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the first gaming state that can be shifted from the RT1 gaming state or the RT2 gaming state includes a general gaming state, a BB gaming state, and a CTBB gaming state. Specifically, when the first gaming state is the RT1 gaming state or the RT2 gaming state and the second gaming state is the BB1 internal state (or BB2 internal state), the BB1 symbol (or BB2 symbol) is valid. When the winning lines are aligned, the CPU 74 immediately shifts the first gaming state from the RT1 gaming state or the RT2 gaming state to the BB gaming state. Similarly, when the first gaming state is the RT1 gaming state or the RT2 gaming state and the second gaming state is the CTBB internal state, the CPU 74 immediately starts the first gaming when the CTBB symbols are aligned on a valid winning line. The state is shifted from the RT1 gaming state or the RT2 gaming state to the CTBB gaming state. That is, when such a condition is satisfied, the transition from the RT1 gaming state or the RT2 gaming state to the BB gaming state or the CTBB gaming state can be performed without having to digest the RT game the upper limit number of times. When the first gaming state is the RT1 gaming state, the CPU 74 immediately shifts the first gaming state from the RT1 gaming state to the general gaming state when the RT game is played 50 times. Similarly, when the first gaming state is the RT2 gaming state, the CPU 74 immediately shifts the first gaming state from the RT2 gaming state to the general gaming state when the RT game is played 773 times. That is, the transition from the RT1 gaming state or the RT2 gaming state to the general gaming state is performed regardless of the second gaming state.

  As shown in FIG. 4, there are five first gaming states that can be shifted from the RT3 gaming state: a general gaming state, an RT1 gaming state, an RT2 gaming state, a BB gaming state, and a CTBB gaming state. Specifically, when the first gaming state is the RT3 gaming state and the second gaming state is the BB1 internal state (or BB2 internal state), the BB1 symbol (or BB2 symbol) is on the valid winning line. When they are all aligned, the CPU 74 immediately shifts the first gaming state from the RT3 gaming state to the BB gaming state. Similarly, when the first gaming state is the RT3 gaming state and the second gaming state is the CTBB internal state, the CPU 74 immediately sets the first gaming state to the RT3 gaming when the CTBB symbols are aligned on a valid winning line. Transition from the state to the CTBB gaming state. That is, when such a condition is satisfied, the transition from the RT3 gaming state to the BB gaming state or the CTBB gaming state can be performed without having to digest the RT game 15 times.

  Also, if the first gaming state is the RT3 gaming state and the second gaming state is the non-internal middle state, the replay A role is won by the role lottery, and the replay A symbol is valid in the game. As soon as they are aligned, the CPU 74 shifts the first gaming state from the RT3 gaming state to the RT2 gaming state. On the other hand, when the first gaming state is the RT3 gaming state and the second gaming state is the main player non-internal middle state, the winning combination is the replay B role by lottery drawing, and the replay B symbol is valid in the game. As soon as they are aligned, the CPU 74 immediately shifts the first gaming state from the RT3 gaming state to the RT1 gaming state. In other words, when these conditions are satisfied, the transition from the RT3 gaming state to the RT2 gaming state or the RT1 gaming state can be performed without digesting the RT game 15 times. If the first gaming state is the RT3 gaming state and the second gaming state is the main player internal state (BB1 internal state, BB2 internal state, or CTBB internal state), the game is replayed this time. Even if winning the A role or the Replay B role, the transition to the first gaming state is not performed.

  Furthermore, when the first gaming state is the RT3 gaming state, the CPU 74 immediately changes the first gaming state from the RT3 gaming state when the RT game is played 15 times without winning the Replay A role or the Replay B role. Transition to the general gaming state. That is, the transition from the RT3 gaming state to the general gaming state is performed regardless of the second gaming state.

  Note that the winning of the leading role by the role lottery is not a transition condition for the RT1 gaming state, the RT2 gaming state, and the RT3 gaming state. For this reason, when the first gaming state is the RT1 gaming state, the RT2 gaming state, or the RT3 gaming state, even if the player is elected as the leading role in the current game, the transition to the first gaming state is not performed. I will not.

  As described above, the CPU 74 controls the transition of the first gaming state and the transition of the second gaming state based on the result of the lottery performed when the game is started, the result of the game, the number of RT games, and the like. is doing. Here, it is only in the second gaming state that the result of the winning lottery is the condition for shifting. The CPU 74 manages the contents of the current first game state and the second game state with game data relating to the game state. Game data relating to this gaming state is stored in the RAM 73. The game data relating to the gaming state includes, for example, a BB game cumulative payout number, a CTBB game cumulative payout number, an RT mode, an RT game count, a BB1 internal flag, a BB2 internal flag, and a CTBB internal flag.

  The BB game cumulative payout number is game data relating to the BB game state, and indicates the cumulative number of medals paid out in the BB game in the BB game state. The CTBB game cumulative payout number is game data related to the CTBB gaming state, and indicates the cumulative number of medals paid out in the CTBB game in the CTBB gaming state. The RT mode and the RT game count are game data relating to the RT game state. The RT mode indicates whether the current first gaming state is the RT1 gaming state, the RT2 gaming state, or the RT3 gaming state. For example, when the current first gaming state is the RT1 gaming state, the RT mode is set to “1”, and when the current first gaming state is the RT2 gaming state, the RT mode is “2”. When the current first gaming state is the RT3 gaming state, the RT mode is set to “3”. When the current first gaming state is not the RT gaming state, the RT mode is set to “0”. The number of RT games indicates the number of RT games in the RT gaming state, that is, how many RT games this RT game is in the RT gaming state.

  In addition, the BB1 internal medium flag, the BB2 internal medium flag, and the CTBB internal medium flag indicate that the current second game state is any of the BB1 internal medium state, the BB2 internal medium state, the CTBB internal medium state, and the main player non-internal medium state. It shows whether it is in a state. In other words, when the current second gaming state is the BB1 internal medium state, the BB1 internal medium flag is set to on, the BB2 internal medium flag and the CTBB internal medium flag are respectively set to off, and the current second gaming state is In the case of the BB2 internal medium state, the BB2 internal medium flag is set to on, and the BB1 internal medium flag and the CTBB internal medium flag are set to off. When the current second gaming state is the CTBB internal medium state, the CTBB internal medium flag is set to on, and the BB1 internal medium flag and the BB2 internal medium flag are respectively set to off. If the current second gaming state is the non-internal internal state, the BB1 internal internal flag, the BB2 internal internal flag, and the CTBB internal internal flag are all set to off. The CPU 74 manages the current first game state and the second game state by appropriately updating the contents of the game data relating to the game state.

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

  The lottery process of the combination is performed using a predetermined combination lottery table. Such a combination lottery table defines a range of random values corresponding to various combinations according to the lottery probability of the combination, and is provided for each first gaming state and each second gaming state. Specifically, among the plurality of role lottery tables, a role lottery table for the general gaming state / main character non-internal state, a role lottery table for the general game state / main character internal state, RT1 gaming state / main character non-internal state Role lottery table for RT1, gaming lottery table for RT1 gaming state / main director internal state, role lottery table for RT2 gaming state / main director non-medium state, role lottery table for RT2 gaming state / main director internal state, RT3 gaming state / main actor A combination lottery table for the non-internal medium state and a combination lottery table for the RT3 gaming state / superior internal medium state are included.

  Each combination lottery table is stored in the ROM 72. In each of the lottery tables, a total of 65,536 pieces of numerical data from 0 to 65535 are distributed to various types or so-called “unfair” that does not correspond to any combination. The CPU 74 determines which winning combination is won or not, by checking which combination the random number value sent from the random number generation means 71 corresponds to in the winning lottery table. The CPU 74 controls the game contents based on the result of the lottery drawing or sends a predetermined command to the effect control board 80. In the following, “unfair” will be included in the treatment.

  Now, the contents of the role lottery table will be described in detail. FIG. 5A is a view showing the contents of the role lottery table for the general gaming state / non-internal medium state, and FIG. 5B is a diagram showing the contents of the role lottery table for the general game state / internal state. 6 (a) is a diagram showing the contents of the role lottery table for the RT1 gaming state / non-internal medium state, and FIG. 6 (b) is a diagram showing the contents of the role lottery table for the RT1 gaming state / internal state. FIG. 7A is a view showing the contents of the role lottery table for the RT2 gaming state / non-internal medium state, and FIG. 7B is a view showing the contents of the role lottery table for the RT2 game state / internal state. FIG. 8A is a view showing the contents of the role lottery table for the RT3 gaming state / non-internal middle state, and FIG. 8B is a diagram showing the content of the part lottery table for the RT3 gaming state / internal state. 5, FIG. 6, FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 show the probability of winning each combination instead of the range of random values corresponding to various combinations for the sake of simplicity.

  Role lottery table for general gaming state / non-internal medium state, role lottery table for RT1 gaming state / non-internal medium state, role lottery table for RT2 gaming state / non-internal medium state, and RT3 gaming state / non-main role As shown in FIGS. 5 (a), 6 (a), 7 (a), and 8 (a), the winning lottery table for the internal state shows that each winning role is won independently. A role with the content of being played (single winning role) and a role with the content of winning simultaneously with multiple roles (simultaneous winning role) are defined. Specifically, as the single winning combination, “unsuccessful”, “bell small role”, “watermelon small role”, “cherry small role”, “replay A role”, “replay B role”, “BB1”, “BB1” There are a total of nine types of roles, “BB2” and “CTBB”. In addition, “BB1 and watermelon small part”, “BB2 and watermelon small part”, “CTBB and watermelon small part”, “BB1 and cherry small part”, “BB2 and cherry small part”, “BB2” And “Replay B combination” and “CTBB and Replay B combination”. Such a simultaneous winning combination always includes a major player. When a simultaneous winning combination is won by a combination lottery, the player can arrange a combination of symbols corresponding to each combination constituting the simultaneous winning combination on an effective winning line. In this way, the watermelon small role, cherry small role, and replay B role are not only won by itself, but may also be won at the same time as the big role, so the player can determine that the result of the game is a watermelon small role, cherry small size. If a winning combination or a replay B winning combination is considered, it may be considered that the leading role may have been won.

  On the other hand, a role lottery table for the general gaming state / internal role state, a role lottery table for the RT1 gaming state / internal state state, a role lottery table for the RT2 gaming state / internal state state, and the RT3 gaming state / internal state state As shown in FIGS. 5 (b), 6 (b), 7 (b), and 8 (b), the winning lottery table for the states includes “unfair”, “bell small” A total of six types of roles are defined: “Combination”, “Watermelon Small Role”, “Cherry Small Role”, “Replay A Role”, and “Replay B Role”. In other words, in the role lottery table for the same first gaming state, the difference between the role for the non-internal medium state and the internal state for the main character is that the main character (BB1, BB2, CTBB) is defined as the winning combination. Whether or not. In the present embodiment, the simultaneous winning combination is composed of a combination of a major role and a small role, and a major role and a re-playing role. Therefore, the simultaneous winning combination is not defined in each role lottery table for the internal state of the major role. Only a single winning role is defined.

  In the combination lottery table for the general gaming state / non-internal medium state, as shown in FIG. 5A, the probability of winning the single winning combination “Bell small combination” is 9164/65536, and the single winning combination “Watermelon small combination” ”Is 860/65536, the probability of winning the single winning role“ Cherry Small ”is 450/65536, and the probability of winning the single winning role“ Replay A ”is 2694/65536. The probability of winning “Replay B” is 6265/65536, the probability of winning single winning “BB1” is 9/65536, and the probability of winning single winning “BB2” is 9/65536. The probability of winning “CTBB” is 11/65536, the probability of winning the simultaneous winning combination “BB1 and watermelon small role” is 10/65536, and the simultaneous winning combination “BB2 and watermelon” The probability of winning the “comb” is 10/65536, the probability of winning the simultaneous winner “CTBB and watermelon small” is 20/65536, and the probability of winning the simultaneous winner “BB1 and cherry small” is 14/65536 Furthermore, the probability of winning the simultaneous winning combination “BB2 and cherry small role” is 14/65536, the probability of winning the simultaneous winning combination “BB2 and replay B role” is 11/65536, and the simultaneous winning role “CTBB and replay B” The probability of winning the “comb” is set to 10/65536, and the probability of winning the “unwinable” is set to 45985/65536, respectively. Therefore, the composite probabilities for winning individual roles are 9164/65536 for the “bell bell”, and (860 + 10 + 10 + 20) / 65536 = 900/65536 for the “watermelon small”. The combined probability of winning the “cherry role” is (450 + 14 + 14) / 65536 = 478/65536, the combined probability of winning the “replay A role” is 2694/65536 (about 1 / 24.3), and the “replay B role” is won. The combined probability of winning is (6265 + 11 + 10) / 65536 = 6286/65536 (approximately 1 / 10.4), the winning probability of winning for “BB1” is (9 + 10 + 14) / 65536 = 33/65536, and the winning probability of winning for “BB2” is (9 + 10 + 14 + 11) / 65536 = 44/65536, winning “CTBB” Synthesis probability (11 + 20 + 10) / 65536 = 41 / a 65536.

  On the other hand, in the role lottery table for the general gaming state / main role internal state, as shown in FIG. 5B, the probability of winning the “bell small role” is 9164/65536, and the probability of winning the “watermelon small role” Is 900/65536, the probability of winning the “Cherry small role” is 478/65536, the probability of winning the “Replay A role” is 2694/65536, and the probability of winning the “Replay B role” is 6286/65536 And the probability of winning the “unfair” is set to 46014/65536, respectively. In other words, in the role lottery table for the general gaming state / main role internal state, the probability of winning each role (excluding unfair winners) is the role lottery for the general game state / non-internal internal state shown in FIG. This is the same as the composite probability of winning the winning combination in the table.

  In addition, the role lottery table for the RT1 gaming state / non-internal medium state, the role lottery table for the RT2 gaming state / non-internal medium state, and the role lottery table for the RT3 gaming state / non-internal medium state are shown in FIG. The differences from the role lottery table for the general gaming state / major non-internal state shown in a) are the probability of winning the single winning combination “Replay A”, the probability of winning the single winning combination “Replay B” and “ It ’s just the probability of winning.

  Specifically, in the role lottery table for the RT1 gaming state / non-internal medium state, as shown in FIG. 6A, the probability of winning the single winning combination “Replay A role” is 53500/65536, and the single winning combination The probability of winning the “replay B role” is set to 21/65536, and the probability of winning the “unfair” is set to 1423/65536, respectively. Therefore, the combined probability of winning the “Replay A combination” is 53500/65536 (about 1 / 1.2), and the combined probability of winning the “Replay B combination” is (21 + 11 + 10) / 65536 = 42/65536 (about 1 / 1560). In this way, in the role lottery table for the RT1 gaming state / non-internal medium state, the combination probability of winning the “Replay A combination” is set to be very high compared to the role lottery table for the general gaming state / non-internal medium state. On the other hand, the composite probability of winning the “replay B role” is set very low. Then, the probability of winning the “wrong” is set lower by the amount that the combined probability of winning the “replay A role” or “replay B role” increases as a whole.

  In the role lottery table for the RT2 gaming state / non-internal medium state, as shown in FIG. 7A, the probability of winning the single winning combination “Replay A” is 8940/65536, and the single winning combination “Replay B” "Is set to 21/65536 (about 1/1560), and the probability of winning" unselected "is set to 45983/65536, respectively. Therefore, the composite probability of winning the “replay A role” is 8940/65536 (about 1 / 7.3), and the composite probability of winning the “replay B role” is (21 + 11 + 10) / 65536 = 42/65536 (about 1 / 1560). As described above, in the role lottery table for the RT2 gaming state / non-internal medium state, the composite probability of winning the “Replay A combination” is set higher than in the role lottery table for the general gaming state / non-internal medium state. On the other hand, the composite probability of winning the “replay B role” is set very low. However, the composite probability of winning the “Replay A combination” or “Replay B combination” is set to be approximately the same.

  In the role lottery table for the RT3 gaming state / non-internal medium state, as shown in FIG. 8A, the probability of winning the single winning combination “Replay A role” is 4490/65536, and the single winning combination “Replay B role” ”Is set to 4490/65536, and the probability of winning“ unselected ”is set to 45964/65536, respectively. Therefore, the composite probability of winning the “Replay A role” is 4490/65536 (about 1 / 14.6), and the composite probability of winning the “Replay B role” is (4490 + 11 + 10) / 65536 = 4511/65536 (about 1 /14.5). As described above, in the role lottery table for the RT3 gaming state / non-internal medium state, the composite probability of winning the “Replay A combination” is set slightly higher than in the combination lottery table for the general gaming state / non-internal state. On the other hand, the composite probability of winning the “Replay B combination” is set a little low.

  Also, in the role lottery table for the RT1 gaming state and the internal state of the major role, as shown in FIG. 6B, the probability of winning the “bell small role” is 9164/65536, and the probability of winning the “watermelon small role” Is 900/65536, the probability of winning the “cherry role” is 478/65536, the probability of winning the “replay A role” is 53500/65536, and the probability of winning the “replay B role” is 42/65536 , The probability of winning the “wrong” is set to 1452/65536, respectively. In other words, in the role lottery table for the RT1 gaming state / main character internal state, the probability of winning for each role (excluding unfair election) is the role lottery for the RT1 gaming state / main character non-internal state shown in FIG. This is the same as the composite probability of winning the winning combination in the table.

  In the winning lottery table for the RT2 gaming state / internal major medium state, as shown in FIG. 7B, the probability of winning the “bell small role” is 9164/65536, and the probability of winning the “watermelon small role” is 900. / 65536, the probability of winning the “cherry small role” is 478/65536, the probability of winning the “replay A role” is 8940/65536, the probability of winning the “replay B role” is 42/65536, The probability of winning the “unwinning” is set to 46001/65536, respectively. In other words, in the role lottery table for the RT2 gaming state / main player internal / middle state, the probability of winning each role (excluding unfair winners) is the role lottery for the RT2 gaming state / main player non-inside / middle state shown in FIG. This is the same as the composite probability of winning the winning combination in the table.

  In the role lottery table for the RT3 gaming state / main internal state, as shown in FIG. 8B, the probability of winning the “bell small role” is 9164/65536, and the probability of winning the “watermelon small role” is 900. / 65536, the probability of winning the “cherry small role” is 478/65536, the probability of winning the “replay A role” is 4490/65536, the probability of winning the “replay B role” is 4511/65536, The probability of winning the “unwinning” is set to 45993/65536, respectively. In other words, in the role lottery table for the RT3 gaming state / main character internal state, the probability of winning each role is won in the role lottery table for the RT3 gaming state / non-internal medium state shown in FIG. It is the same as the composite probability.

  As described above, when the first gaming state is the RT1 gaming state, the replay A role is won by the role lottery regardless of whether the second gaming state is the non-internal internal state or the internal internal state of the main character. Since the combination probability is set to be very high, the medal owned by the player during 50 RT games is compared to the case where the first gaming state is the general gaming state, the RT2 gaming state, or the RT3 gaming state. The number of medals will not decrease significantly, and in fact, the number of medals is expected to increase. In this respect, it can be said that the RT1 gaming state is a very advantageous gaming state for the player. On the other hand, when the first gaming state is the RT2 gaming state, the “replay A role” is determined by the role lottery regardless of whether the second gaming state is the non-internal internal state or the internal internal state of the main character. Alternatively, the combined probability of winning the “Replay B combination” is set to be approximately the same as that in the general gaming state. Moreover, considering that the RT game duration is set to 773 times in the RT2 gaming state, the number of medals owned by the player when the first gaming state is the RT2 gaming state. Is expected to decrease significantly. For this reason, when a player plays a game on this gaming machine, the player wants the first gaming state to repeat the transition between the general gaming state and the RT1 gaming state until a major player is won by the role lottery. Let's go. If the first gaming state is the general gaming state, the player will want to avoid winning the Replay A role in the role lottery and winning the Replay A role as a result of the game.

  In the present embodiment, as can be seen from the above, when the first gaming state is the general gaming state, the replay is performed regardless of whether the second gaming state is the non-internal internal state or the internal internal state of the main player. The ratio between the combined probability of winning the A role and the combined probability of winning the Replay B role is about 3: 7, and the possibility that the first gaming state shifts from the general gaming state to the RT1 gaming state is the general gaming state. Is more likely than the transition to the RT2 gaming state. The transition to the RT1 gaming state or the RT2 gaming state can also occur from the RT3 gaming state. When the first gaming state is the RT3 gaming state, the combined probability of winning the Replay A role and the Replay B role are won regardless of whether the second gaming state is a major player non-internal middle state or a major player internal middle state. Since the ratio to the synthetic probability to be performed is 1: 1, the possibility that the first gaming state shifts from the RT3 gaming state to the RT1 gaming state and the possibility that the RT3 gaming state shifts to the RT2 gaming state are the same.

  Next, the drive / stop process of the spinning reels 11a, 11b, and 11c will be described. The CPU 74 performs reel control for driving and stopping the spinning reels 11a, 11b, and 11c as one of game controls. The reel control of the CPU 74 includes reel drive start control and reel drive stop control. The reel drive start control is a control for starting the drive operation of the three spinning reels 11a, 11b, and 11c when the start lever 18 is pressed on condition that a predetermined number of medals are inserted. Further, the reel drive stop control is a control for stopping the driving of the spinning reel when the stop reel button is pressed when the spinning reel is driven. Here, in each game, the CPU 74 performs reel drive stop control so as to allow winning of the winning combination determined by the winning lottery at the start of the game. In addition, when the second gaming state is the state in which the major player is inside, the CPU 74 performs reel drive stop control so as to allow winning of the major player.

  In addition, the reel drive stop control includes reel pull-in control that is performed when a winning combination of a small role, a replaying role, or a major role is permitted, and any of the roles of a small role, a replaying role, or a major role. It includes a detachment control performed when a winning is not permitted. The off control means that the stop position of the spinning reel is controlled so that there is no combination of symbols corresponding to any of the small combination, replay combination, and major combination on the effective winning line. Therefore, in this case, even if the player presses the stop button aiming at any of the small role, re-playing role, or major role, the player does not win, and the game result is a so-called “out of game”. It becomes.

  The reel pull-in control means that when the stop button is pressed, the symbol within the range of a predetermined number of frames (for example, 5 frames) from the symbol including the symbol on the winning line that is valid at the timing when the stop button is pressed. When there is a symbol that constitutes a winning combination that is allowed to win, the stop position of the spinning reel is controlled so that the symbol is drawn on the effective winning line. However, if there is no symbol that constitutes the relevant role within the range of the predetermined number of frames at the timing when the player presses the stop button, the reel pull-in control does not work, and the winning symbol is effective. Stop on line. Therefore, at this time, the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination is not aligned on the effective winning line, and the winning combination is not won.

  In particular, in the present embodiment, a symbol row as shown in FIG. 3 is arranged on each reel reel 11a, 11b, 11c. In such a symbol sequence, at most four symbols are included between adjacent blue replay symbols. Further, in the symbol row of the third drum reel 11c, at most four symbols are included between adjacent red replay symbols. For this reason, when the replay A role or the replay B role is won by the role lottery, no matter what timing the player presses the three stop buttons 19a, 19b, 19c, The A symbol or the Replay B symbol is always aligned on an effective winning line, and the result of the game is a winning for the Replay A role or the Replay B role. That is, when the Replay A role or the Replay B role is won by the role lottery, the probability that the Replay A role or the Replay B role is established is 100%, and the establishment of the Replay A role or the Replay B role is missed. There is nothing.

  By the way, when the second gaming state is a state in which the major player is not in the inside, a plurality of winning combinations may be won simultaneously by a winning lottery. In addition, as described above, when the second gaming state is the state in which the major player is in the middle, the CPU 74 not only allows winning of the winning combination in the current winning lottery but also allows winning of the leading role. Thus, the reel drive stop control is performed. In such a case, the CPU 74 performs reel pull-in control according to a predetermined priority for a plurality of winning combinations that allow the winning. This priority order is determined in advance as re-playing role> major role> small role. For example, when the winning of BB1 and the bell small part is permitted, the CPU 74 performs the reel pull-in control so that the winning of the BB1 is given priority over the winning of the bell small part. For this reason, for example, when the second stop button 19b for the second reel reel 11b is pressed, if both the red 7 symbol and the bell symbol are within the controllable range, the red 7 symbol The stop position of the second drum reel 11b is controlled so as to stop on the effective pay line with priority over the bell symbol. Also, if the bell symbol is present in the pull-in control range and the red seven symbol is not in the pull-in control range, the second reel 11b is stopped so that the bell symbol is stopped on the effective winning line. Control the stop position. On the other hand, when the winning of the replay A role (or the replay B role) and the BB1 is permitted, the CPU 74 allows the winning of the replay A role (or the replay B role) in preference to the winning of the BB1. In this way, the reel pull-in control is performed. However, in this embodiment, since the formation of the Replay A role (or Replay B role) is not missed, when the Replay A role (or Replay B role) is won, the result of the game is always Replay A. The winning combination (or Replay B) is won, and BB1 is not won. For this reason, if the second game state is the state in which the main character is in the middle of the big game, if the player wins the Replay A role or the Replay B role by the role lottery, the player will play the main character symbol (BB1 symbol, BB2 symbol in the game). , CTBB symbol) cannot be aligned on an effective winning line. When the player wins a role other than the Replay A role and the Replay B role by the role lottery, the player can arrange the major role symbols on an effective winning line.

  In addition, as described above, when the first gaming state is the RT1 gaming state, the transition to the first gaming state is not performed only by winning the leading role in the role lottery, but after winning the leading role by the role lottery, When winning the big player, the first gaming state shifts from the RT1 gaming state to the major gaming state. That is, at this time, the transition to the first gaming state can be performed without having to digest the RT game 50 times. However, this RT1 gaming state is an advantageous gaming state in which an increase in the number of medals is expected. For this reason, when the first gaming state becomes the RT1 gaming state, the player will think that 50 RT games will be consumed to the end. This is because if the RT1 gaming state is ended before the RT game is consumed 50 times, the opportunity to acquire medals due to the RT game for the undigested portion is lost. In fact, when the first gaming state is the RT1 gaming state, the player must operate the stop button at a timing at which the reel pull-in control does not work on the major role symbol in order to avoid winning the major role. It becomes. In this regard, the RT1 gaming state can be said to be a gaming state in which the player can obtain an advantageous situation by digesting the RT game the maximum number of times (50 times).

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

  Next, command transmission processing to the effect control board 80 will be described. There are many types of commands that are transmitted from the CPU 74 to the effect control board 80. For example, there are commands related to game effects (effect commands) created based on the lottery result of the combination, commands (operation commands) created when a predetermined operation is performed by the player, and the like. The CPU 74 transmits these commands to the effect control board 80 to transmit various information to the effect control board 80 to control the effect control board 80.

  When the start lever 18 is pressed, the CPU 74 performs the above-described lottery process, generates an effect command corresponding to the result of the role lottery, and outputs the generated effect command to the effect control board 80. The contents of the effect command indicate the result of the role lottery. At this time, the CPU 74 outputs to the effect control board 80 game data related to the game state at the time of the lottery along with the effect command. That is, information related to the RT mode, information related to the number of RT games, information related to the BB1 internal medium flag, information related to the BB2 internal medium flag, information related to the CTBB internal medium flag, and the like are output to the effect control board 80. Here, the CPU 74 controls the transition of the second gaming state based on the result of the winning lottery, but when the second gaming state is transitioned, the game data regarding the gaming state output by the CPU 74 is the gaming state after the transition. It is not game data related to the game, but game data related to the game state before the transition. The effect control board 80 determines the contents of the effect of the game based on the effect data and the game data relating to the game state.

  When a predetermined operation is performed by the player, the CPU 74 generates an operation command indicating that the operation has been performed, and outputs the generated operation command to the effect control board 80. For example, when the start lever 18 is pressed, when the left stop button 19a is pressed, when the left stop button 19a is released, when the central stop button 19b is pressed, when the central stop button 19b is pressed When the state is released, when the right stop button 19c is pressed, when the right stop button 19c is released, when a medal is inserted, or when the MAX bet button 15 or the single-load button 16 is When pressed, an operation command is generated. Specifically, when the CPU 74 receives a detection signal from the start lever operation detection sensor 64, the CPU 74 recognizes that the start lever 18 has been pressed and generates an operation command to that effect. Further, for example, when detecting the rising edge of the detection signal from each stop button operation detection sensor 65a, 65b, 65c, the CPU 74 recognizes that the stop button has been pressed and creates an operation command to that effect. On the other hand, when the falling edge of the detection signal from each stop button operation detection sensor 65a, 65b, 65c is detected, it recognizes that the pressed state of the stop button has been released and generates an operation command to that effect. . Further, upon receiving the detection signal from the inserted medal detection sensor 61, the CPU 74 recognizes that a medal has been inserted, generates an operation command to that effect, and receives the detection signal from the MAX bet button operation detection sensor 62. Upon receipt, it recognizes that the MAX bet button 15 has been pressed, generates an operation command to that effect, and receives a detection signal from the single-load button operation detection sensor 63, the single-load button 16 Recognizing that the button has been pressed, an operation command to that effect is generated. However, the CPU 74 actually creates an operation command having exactly the same contents when a medal is inserted, when the MAX bet button 15 is pressed, or when the single-load button 16 is pressed.

  Next, the effect control board 80 will be described. The effect control board 80 mainly performs control related to effects. As shown in FIG. 2, the effect control board 80 includes a ROM (storage means) 81, a RAM 82, a CPU 83, a sound source LSI 84, a sound source data ROM 85, and a power amplifier 86. The ROM 81 stores various programs related to production control and the like. The RAM 82 is a working memory that temporarily stores data. The RAM 82 stores, for example, command signals (effect commands, operation commands, etc.) sent from the main control board 70, game data relating to the gaming state, and the like. As a result, the CPU 83 recognizes the result of the role lottery in the current game and the game state (first game state, second game state) at the time of the role lottery, or recognizes that a predetermined operation has been performed by the player. You can do it. The CPU 83 controls the effect by executing a program stored in the ROM 81. That is, the CPU 83 determines an effect content based on an effect command or the like sent from the main control board 70, and controls the image display unit 30, the electrical display unit 40, and the speaker unit 50 according to the determined effect content. Acts as a control means. Further, the CPU 83 manages the current number of lighting of chance lamps with data related to the number of lighting of chance lamps. Data regarding the number of chance lamps to be lit is stored in the RAM 82.

  The sound source LSI 84 has a plurality of channels for sending sound source data, and sends sound source data stored in the sound source data ROM 85 to the speaker unit 50 through a predetermined channel to reproduce and output the sound. is there. The sound source data ROM 85 stores reproduction control data for each sound source data together with a plurality of sound source data. The reproduction control data is data for controlling the sound reproduction output of the speaker unit 50 by controlling the transmission of the sound source data in the sound source LSI 84. The power amplifier 86 amplifies the sound signal sent from the sound source LSI 84 and outputs it to the speaker unit 50.

  Examples of effects that the CPU 83 causes the image display unit 30, the illumination display unit 40, and the speaker unit 50 to execute include a general effect and an expectation effect. The general effect is an effect of contents related to the game, and is executed by the image display unit 30, the electrical display unit 40 (excluding the panel lamp units 44 and 45), and the speaker unit 50. The expectation level effect is an effect for expressing the expectation level (the expectation level of winning the major role) that the major player is allowed to win when the first gaming state is the RT1 gaming state. Performed by lamps 442a, 442b, 442c. Here, as described above, the degree of expectation for winning the big role is expressed by the number of lighting of chance lamps after the degree of expectation. The contents of the general effects and the contents of the expectation effects are determined by lottery performed by the CPU 83. The “general” in the general effect only means that the effect is not an expected effect.

  The ROM 81 stores various data in addition to the program. Next, the contents of data stored in the ROM 81 will be described in detail. FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining the contents of data stored in the ROM 81 of the effect control board 80. As shown in FIG. 9, the data storage area of the ROM 81 includes an expectation degree effect mode number table storage area 81a, an expectation degree effect lottery table storage area 81b, an expectation degree effect control data storage area 81c, and a general effect mode number table storage area. 81d, general effect lottery table storage area 81e, continuous effect pattern data table storage area 81f, normal effect combination data table storage area 81g, general effect basic data storage area 81h, electric effect effect pattern data storage area 81i, sound effect pattern There is a data storage area 81j and the like.

  In the expectation degree effect mode number table storage area 81a of the ROM 81, an expectation degree effect mode number table is stored. FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining the expectation effect mode number table. As shown in FIG. 10, the expectation effect mode number table shows the expectation effect according to the second game state (whether or not a major player is allowed to win) and the number of chance lamps lit (the expected degree of winning the major player) A mode number is defined. Here, the expectation degree effect mode number represents the type of an expectation degree effect lottery table to be described later. When the first gaming state is the RT1 internal state and the current RT game number is 46 or less, the CPU 83 specifies the expectation effect mode number using the expectation effect mode number table. Specifically, when the second game state at the time of the current role lottery is a state in which the main character is not inside, and the number of lighting of the current chance lamp is zero, the expectation effect mode number “001” is specified, When the second game state at the time of the current role lottery is the internal state of the main character and the current number of lighting of the chance lamps is zero, the expectation effect mode number “002” is specified. When the second game state at the time of the current role lottery is the state in which the main character is not inside and the current number of the chance lamps is one, the expectation effect mode number “003” is identified, and the current role When the second gaming state at the time of the lottery is the state in which the main character is in the middle, and the current number of lighting of the chance lamps is 1, the expectation effect mode number “004” is specified. If the second gaming state at the time of the current role lottery is a state where the main character is not inside, and the current number of chance lamps is two, the expectation effect mode number “005” is identified, and this time When the second game state at the time of the combination lottery is the internal state of the main character and the current number of lighting of the chance lamps is 2, the expectation effect mode number “006” is specified. Note that when the number of chance lamps is three, that is, when all three chance lamps 442a, 442b, and 443c are lit, the expectation effect mode number is not specified.

  In the expectation degree effect lottery table storage area 81b of the ROM 81, six kinds of expectation degree effect lottery tables for the expectation degree effect mode numbers “001” to “006” are stored. In each expectation degree effect lottery table, a lottery probability for each content of the expectation effect effect is determined for each result of the role lottery. When the CPU 83 determines that the current first gaming state is the RT1 gaming state and the current number of RT games is 46 or less when receiving the effect command and the gaming data regarding the gaming state from the main control board 70, An expectation effect mode number is specified according to the expectation effect mode number table. Thereafter, the CPU 83 performs lottery of the expectation effect content using the lottery probability for the effect command (the result of the role lottery) in the expectation effect lottery table for the specified expectation effect effect mode number, and produces one expectation effect effect. Determine the content. Then, the CPU 83 causes the chance lamps 442a, 442b, and 442c to execute the expected degree effect of the determined content in the current game.

  FIGS. 11-16 is a figure for demonstrating an expectation effect lottery table. Here, FIG. 11 shows an expectation effect lottery table for the expectation effect mode number “001” used when the second gaming state is the non-internal middle state and the number of chance lamps turned on is zero. 12 shows an expectation effect lottery table for the expectation effect mode number “002” used when the second gaming state is the internal state of the main character and the number of chance lamps turned on is zero. FIG. 13 shows the expectation effect lottery table for the expectation effect mode number “003” used when the second gaming state is the non-internal state of the main character and the number of chance lamps is one. Shows an expectation effect lottery table for the expectation effect mode number “004” used when the second game state is the state of the inside of the main character and the number of lighting of the chance lamps is one. FIG. 15 shows an expectation effect lottery table for the expectation effect mode number “005” used when the second gaming state is a state in which the main player is not in the inside and the number of chance lamps is two. 16 shows an expectation effect lottery table for the expectation effect mode number “006” used when the second gaming state is the internal state of the big game and the number of lighting of the chance lamps is two.

  As shown in FIG. 11 to FIG. 16, in various types of expected degree effect lottery tables, lottery probabilities for determining the expected degree effect number are determined for each result of the role lottery. The expectation degree production number is for specifying the content of the expectation degree production. The specific content of the expectation effect to be executed by the chance lamps 442a, 442b, 442c is determined by lottery by the CPU 83, and the probability of the lottery is described in the expectation effect lottery table. A value obtained by dividing each numerical value described in each expectation degree lottery table of FIGS. 11 to 16 by 65536 is an actual lottery probability. For example, when an effect command indicating the content of “watermelon small part” is sent from the main control board 70, the CPU 83 expects using the lottery probability described in the item “watermelon” in the predetermined expectation effect effect lottery table. By performing a lottery of degree effects, an expected degree effect number is determined. Note that “big actor” shown in each of the expectation degree lottery tables in FIGS. 11 to 16 means “BB1”, “BB2”, or “CTBB”.

  Now, the contents of the expectation effect specified by each expectation effect number will be described in detail. FIG. 17 is a diagram for explaining specific contents of the expectation degree effect. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17, eleven types of expectation effect contents are defined, and each of the expectation effect contents includes 11 numbers from “1” to “11”. A predetermined number is assigned as an expectation degree production number. As each content of the expectation effect, the effect content to be executed by a predetermined chance lamp every time a predetermined operation is performed until the game is played once is determined. Here, in the content of the expectation effect, when the operation command indicating that the stop button is pressed is first received (when the first button is pressed), the operation command indicating that the stop button is pressed is received second. When the operation command indicating that the stop button has been pressed is received for the third time (when the second button is pressed) (when the third button is pressed), the stop button that is the operation target of the third received operation command A total of four operation timings when an operation command indicating that the pressed state is released (when the third press is released) are determined.

  Specifically, the expectation degree effect corresponding to the expectation degree effect number “1” has a content that the effect by the chance lamp in the non-lighting state is not performed at any of the four operation timings. For the three types of expectation effects corresponding to the expectation effect numbers “2”, “3”, and “4”, the contents of effects to be executed by the first chance lamp 442a among the three chance lamps 442a, 442b, and 442c are determined. It has been. The expectation effect corresponding to the expectation effect number “2” indicates that the first chance lamp 442a is turned on and off for a moment when the first press is performed, and the effect by the first chance lamp 442a is not performed at other operation timings. Have. The expectation effect corresponding to the expectation effect number “3” is turned on and off for the first chance lamp 442a when the first press and the second press, and the first chance lamp 442a is displayed at other operation timings. The content is not to be performed. The expectation effect corresponding to the expectation effect number “4” indicates that the first chance lamp 442a is turned on and off for the first press, the second press and the third press, and the first chance is released when the third press is released. The lamp 442a is turned on to maintain the lighting state. For this reason, even if the expectation effect corresponding to the expectation effect number “2” or the expectation effect corresponding to the expectation effect number “3” is executed, the big role winning that the three chance lamps 442a, 442b, 442c express However, when the expectation effect corresponding to the expectation effect number “4” is executed, the first chance lamp 442a is turned on, so that the three chance lamps 442a, 442b, and 442c express. The expectation of winning the big role is high.

  For the three types of expectation effects corresponding to the expectation effect numbers “5”, “6”, and “7”, the contents of effects to be executed by the second chance lamp 442b among the three chance lamps 442a, 442b, and 442c are determined. It has been. The expectation effect corresponding to the expectation effect number “5” indicates that the second chance lamp 442b is turned on and off for a moment when the first depression is performed, and the second chance lamp 442b is not performed at other operation timings. Have. In the expectation effect corresponding to the expectation effect number “6”, the second chance lamp 442b is turned on and off for a moment when the first press and the second press are performed, and the second chance lamp 442b is displayed at other operation timings. The content is not to be performed. The expectation effect corresponding to the expectation effect number “7” indicates that the second chance lamp 442b is turned on and off for the first press, the second press and the third press, and the second chance is released when the third press is released. The lamp 442b is lit to maintain the lighting state. For this reason, even if the expectation effect corresponding to the expectation effect number “5” or the expectation effect corresponding to the expectation effect number “6” is executed, the big role winning that the three chance lamps 442a, 442b, 442c express However, when the expectation effect corresponding to the expectation effect number “7” is executed, the second chance lamp 442b is turned on to express the three chance lamps 442a, 442b, and 442c. The expectation of winning the big role is high.

  For the three types of expectation effects corresponding to the expectation effect numbers “8”, “9”, and “10”, the contents of the effect to be executed by the third chance lamp 442c among the three chance lamps 442a, 442b, and 442c are determined. It has been. The expectation effect corresponding to the expectation effect number “8” indicates that the third chance lamp 442c is turned on and off for a moment when the first press is performed, and the effect by the third chance lamp 442c is not performed at other operation timings. Have. In the expectation effect corresponding to the expectation effect number “9”, the third chance lamp 442c is turned on and off for an instant when the first press and the second press, and the effect by the third chance lamp 442c is displayed at other operation timings. The content is not to be performed. The expectation effect corresponding to the expectation effect number “10” indicates that the third chance lamp 442c is turned on and off for the first press, the second press and the third press, and the third chance is released when the third press is released. The lamp 442c is turned on to maintain the lighting state. For this reason, even if the expectation effect corresponding to the expectation effect number “8” or the expectation effect corresponding to the expectation effect number “9” is executed, the big role winning that the three chance lamps 442a, 442b, 442c express However, when the expectation effect corresponding to the expectation effect number “10” is executed, the third chance lamp 442c is turned on to represent the three chance lamps 442a, 442b, and 442c. The expectation of winning the big role is high.

  In addition, the expectation effect corresponding to the expectation effect number “11” has a content that, when the first press is performed, the chance lamp in the non-lighting state is turned on and the lighting state is maintained. For this reason, when the expectation effect corresponding to the expectation effect number “11” is executed, all the chance lamps in the non-lighted state are suddenly turned on, and thus the three-chance lamps 442a, 442b, and 442c represent the major role. The expectation of winning is the highest.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the expectation effect lottery table corresponding to the expectation effect mode number “001” and the expectation effect effect lottery table corresponding to the expectation effect mode number “002” The lottery probability is set such that any one of the expectation degree production numbers “1”, “2”, “3”, “4”, “11” is determined. The expectation degree effect lottery table corresponding to the expectation degree effect mode number “001” or the expectation degree effect lottery table corresponding to the expectation degree effect mode number “002” is used when the number of lighting of chance lamps is zero. When a lottery for an expectation degree effect is performed using the expectation degree effect lottery table, there is a possibility that the first chance lamp 442a is turned on, and that all three chance lamps 442a, 442b, and 442c are suddenly turned on. Therefore, the fact that the number of chance lamps to be lit means that the first chance lamp 442a is lit. As shown in FIG. 13 and FIG. 14, the expectation degree effect lottery table corresponding to the expectation degree effect mode number “003” and the expectation degree effect lottery table corresponding to the expectation degree effect mode number “004” A lottery probability is set such that any one of the production numbers “1”, “5”, “6”, “7”, “11” is determined. Since the expectation degree effect lottery table corresponding to the expectation degree effect mode number “003” or the expectation degree effect lottery table corresponding to the expectation effect effect mode number “004” is used when the number of lighting of the chance lamp is one, When the expectation effect lottery is performed using the expectation effect lottery table, the second chance lamp 442b may be turned on in addition to the first chance lamp 442a that is currently lit, and the chance lamps 442b and 442c. May suddenly light up. Accordingly, the number of lighting of the chance lamps being two means that the first chance lamp 442a and the second chance lamp 442b are lit. Further, as shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, the expectation degree effect lottery table corresponding to the expectation degree effect mode number “005” and the expectation degree effect lottery table corresponding to the expectation degree effect mode number “006” A lottery probability is set such that any one of the production numbers “1”, “8”, “9”, “10” is determined. Since the expectation degree effect lottery table corresponding to the expectation degree effect mode number “005” or the expectation degree effect lottery table corresponding to the expectation degree effect mode number “006” is used when the number of lighting of the chance lamps is two, When the expectation effect lottery is performed using the expectation effect lottery table, the third chance lamp 442c may be turned on in addition to the chance lamps 442a and 442b that are currently lit.

  Here, as is clear from FIG. 11 to FIG. 16, in the expectation effect that can be determined using each expectation effect lottery table, the content of reducing the number of chance lamps to be lighter than the current number of lights. Is not included. For this reason, when the first gaming state is the RT1 gaming state, if a certain chance lamp is turned on, the chance lamp is not turned off during the RT1 gaming state. Therefore, the number of chance lamps to be lit can change only incrementally over a period in which the first gaming state is the RT1 gaming state.

  Specifically, the first chance lamp 442a may be turned on when all three chance lamps 442a, 442b, and 442c are turned off. The second chance lamp 442b may turn on when only the first chance lamp 442a is turned on, or the first chance lamp 442a when all the three chance lamps 442a, 442b, and 442c are turned off. It may light up at the same time. The third chance lamp 442c may be turned on when the first chance lamp 442a and the second chance lamp 442b are turned on, or when the three chance lamps 442a, 442b, and 442c are turned off. The first chance lamp 442a and the second chance lamp 442b may be turned on simultaneously.

  In the expectation degree effect control data storage area 81c of the ROM 81, expectation degree effect control data for each expectation degree effect number is stored. Each expectation level effect control data is data for causing the chance lamp to execute the expectation level effect corresponding to the expectation level effect number. When the CPU 83 performs a lottery of the above-mentioned expectation degree effects and determines one expectation degree effect number, the CPU 83 obtains the expectation degree effect control data for the expectation degree effect number from the expectation degree effect control data storage area 81c. The acquired expectation degree effect control data is temporarily stored in the RAM 82. Then, the CPU 83 controls a predetermined chance lamp at each operation timing in the game based on the expectation degree effect control data stored in the RAM 82. The CPU 83 turns off all three chance lamps 442a, 442b, and 442c when the first gaming state is a gaming state other than the RT1 gaming state.

  In the general effect mode number table storage area 81d of the ROM 81, a plurality of general effect mode number tables are stored. The general effect mode number table is provided corresponding to the first gaming state. Each general effect mode number table describes a plurality of general effect mode numbers and conditions for selecting each general effect mode number. Here, the general effect mode number represents the type of a general effect lottery table to be described later.

  Now, in particular, the general effect mode number table for the RT1 gaming state will be described in detail. FIG. 18 is a diagram for explaining the contents of the general effect mode number table for the RT1 gaming state. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 18, 34 general effect mode numbers “28” to “61” are described in the general effect mode number table for the RT1 gaming state. As conditions for selecting each general effect mode number, the second gaming state, the number of RT games, and the number of chance lamps to be lit are determined. Specifically, if the second game state at the time of the current role lottery is a state in which the main character is not inside, if the current RT game number is 46 or less, regardless of the number of lighting of the current chance lamp, The general effect mode number “28” is specified. If the second game state at the time of the current role lottery is a state in which the main character is not inside and the current number of chance lamps is 0, if the number of RT games this time is 47, the general effect mode number If “29” is specified and the current RT game number is 48, the general effect mode number “30” is specified. If the current RT game number is 49, the general effect mode number “31” is specified. If the current RT game number is 50, the general effect mode number “32” is specified. If the second gaming state at the time of the current role lottery is a state where the main character is not inside and the current number of chance lamps is one, if the current RT game number is 47, the general effect mode number If “38” is specified and the current RT game number is 48, the general effect mode number “39” is specified. If the current RT game number is 49, the general effect mode number “40” is specified. If the current RT game number is 50, the general effect mode number “41” is specified. If the second game state at the time of the current role lottery is a state where the main character is not inside and the current number of chance lamps is two, if the number of RT games this time is 47, the general effect mode number If “46” is specified and the current RT game number is 48, the general effect mode number “47” is specified. If the current RT game number is 49, the general effect mode number “48” is specified. If the current RT game number is 50, the general effect mode number “49” is specified. If the second game state at the time of the current role lottery is a state in which the main character is not inside and the number of lighting of the current chance lamp is 3, if the current RT game number is 47, the general effect mode number If “54” is specified and the current RT game number is 48, the general effect mode number “55” is specified. If the current RT game number is 49, the general effect mode number “56” is specified. If the current RT game number is 50, the general effect mode number “57” is specified.

  On the other hand, when the second game state at the time of the current role lottery is the internal state of the main character, if the number of RT games this time is 46 times or less, the general effect mode regardless of the number of lighting of the current chance lamp The number “33” is identified. If the second game state at the time of the current role lottery is the state in which the main character is in the middle and the current number of chance lamps is 0, the general effect mode number “ 34 ”is specified. If the current RT game number is 48, the general effect mode number“ 35 ”is specified. If the current RT game number is 49, the general effect mode number“ 36 ”is specified. If the number of RT games this time is 50, the general effect mode number “37” is specified. If the second game state at the time of the current role lottery is the state in which the main character is inside and the current number of lighting of the chance lamp is 1, if the current RT game number is 47 times, the general effect mode number “ 42 ”is specified. If the current RT game number is 48, the general effect mode number“ 43 ”is specified. If the current RT game number is 49, the general effect mode number“ 44 ”is specified. If the number of RT games this time is 50, the general effect mode number “45” is specified. If the second gaming state at the time of the current role lottery is the state in which the main character is in the middle and the current number of chance lamps is two, the general effect mode number “ 50 ”is specified, the general effect mode number“ 51 ”is specified if the current RT game number is 48 times, and the general effect mode number“ 52 ”is specified if the current RT game number is 49 times, If the number of RT games this time is 50, the general effect mode number “53” is specified. If the second game state at the time of the current role lottery is the internal state of the main character and the current number of lighting of the chance lamps is 3, if the current RT game number is 47 times, the general effect mode number “ 58 ”is specified, the general effect mode number“ 59 ”is specified if the current RT game number is 48 times, and the general effect mode number“ 60 ”is specified if the current RT game number is 49 times, If the number of RT games this time is 50, the general effect mode number “61” is specified.

  In the general effect lottery table storage area 81d of the ROM 81, a plurality of general effect lottery tables are stored. Each general effect lottery table is assigned a general effect mode number. FIG. 19 is a diagram for explaining the general effect lottery table. FIG. 19 typically shows a general effect lottery table for the general effect mode number “1”. In the general effect lottery table for each general effect mode number, as shown in FIG. 19, a lottery probability for determining the general effect number and the lottery flag is determined for each result of the role lottery. The general effect number is a management number assigned to normal effect combination data or continuous effect pattern data described later, and the contents of the general effect are specified by the general effect number. The lottery flag represents the type of the general effect. This lottery flag will be described in detail later.

  The CPU 83 determines the specific contents of the general effects to be executed by the image display unit 30, the electrical display unit 40 (excluding the panel lamp units 44 and 45), and the speaker unit 50. Specific contents of the general effect are specified in the normal effect combination data or the continuous effect pattern data, and a management number (general effect number) of predetermined normal effect combination data or continuous effect pattern data is determined by lottery. The probability of this lottery is specified in the general effect lottery table. A value obtained by dividing each numerical value shown in FIG. 19 by 65536 is an actual lottery probability. For example, when an effect command indicating the content of winning the “cherry small part” is sent from the main control board 70, the CPU 83 specifies the general effect mode number “1” according to the general effect mode number table. In the general effect lottery table for the general effect mode number “1” shown in FIG.

  As a lottery flag used in the general effect lottery table, two types of flags “NRML_ACT” and “CNTA_ACT” are introduced. One of the flags “NRML_ACT” and “CNTA_ACT” is designated as the lottery flag item in the general effect lottery table. These lottery flags “NRML_ACT” and “CNTA_ACT” represent the types of general effects. That is, “NRML_ACT” means that the general effect is a normal effect, while “CNTA_ACT” means that the general effect is a continuous effect. Normal production refers to production performed in accordance with normal production combination data in which the content of the general production until the game is played once, and continuous production is between the game being played multiple times. An effect performed according to continuous effect pattern data in which the contents of the general effect are defined. For this reason, when a continuous effect is selected by lottery of general effects, a series of meaningful effects are performed across a plurality of games. In particular, in the present embodiment, as a continuous production, the production is performed with a content that informs whether the winning of the big actor is permitted (whether or not the big actor is elected). In addition, in addition to the general content production, for example, the player is informed that a symbol corresponding to the combination should be aligned on an effective winning line when a predetermined combination is won by a combination lottery. Production of contents to be notified, production of contents to inform the presence / absence of winning of a major role, and the like are included.

  As described above, the general effect number used in the general effect lottery table is the management number assigned to the normal effect combination data or the continuous effect pattern data, but the general effect number is the management number of the normal effect combination data, the continuous effect. Which of the pattern data management numbers is represented is identified by a lottery flag “NRML_ACT” or “CNTA_ACT”. That is, the general effect number having the lottery flag “NRML_ACT” represents the management number of the normal effect combination data, while the general effect number having the lottery flag “CNTA_ACT” represents the management number of the continuous effect pattern data. Hereinafter, the management number assigned to the normal effect combination data will be referred to as “normal effect number”, and the management number assigned to the continuous effect pattern data will be referred to as “continuous effect number”.

  When “CNTA_ACT” is designated as the lottery flag, information related to the number of games in which the continuous effect is performed (the number of continuous effect games) is also specified in the item of the lottery flag. In the example of FIG. 19, the numerical value next to “CNTA_ACT” in the item of the lottery flag indicates information regarding the number of continuous effect games. Here, the CPU 83 includes a continuous effect counter (not shown). When the CPU 83 obtains “CNTA_ACT” as the lottery flag in the lottery process for the general effects, the CPU 83 sets the number of continuous effect games designated in the lottery flag item as the count value of the continuous effect counter. Each time an effect command is sent from the main control board 70, 1 is subtracted from the count value of the continuous effect counter. That is, the continuous effect counter counts the remaining number of games in which the continuous effect is performed, and the CPU 83 manages the number of games in which the continuous effect is performed by the continuous effect counter.

  In the continuous effect pattern data table storage area 81f of the ROM 81, a continuous effect pattern data table is stored. FIG. 20 is a diagram for explaining the continuous performance pattern data table. In the continuous effect pattern data table, as shown in FIG. 20, continuous effect pattern data corresponding to each continuous effect number is described. Each continuous effect pattern data includes an image display unit 30, an electrical decoration display unit 40 (excluding panel lamp units 44 and 45), and a speaker unit 50 each time a predetermined operation is performed until the game is performed a plurality of times. The information regarding the contents of the game effects to be executed by each of the above is included. Here, the normal effect number of the normal effect combination data is used as information relating to the contents of the game effect included in the continuous effect pattern data. That is, each continuous effect pattern data includes a plurality of normal effect numbers of normal effect combination data. Since the content of the game effect until the game is played once is defined in the normal effect combination data, the number of the normal effect numbers of the normal effect combination data included in the continuous effect pattern data is the continuous effect number. It represents how many games the continuous production according to the pattern data is performed. The order in which each of the normal effect numbers is described indicates what game the normal effect is performed according to the normal effect combination data corresponding to the normal effect number. Therefore, such continuous effect pattern data is stored in the order in which the normal effect numbers are described until the game is played as many times as the number of normal effect numbers of the normal effect combination data included therein. The content of performing a normal production according to the normal production combination data corresponding to the number is shown.

  The normal effect combination data table storage area 81g of the ROM 81 stores a normal effect combination data table. FIG. 21 is a diagram for explaining a normal effect combination data table. In the normal effect combination data table, as shown in FIG. 21, normal effect combination data corresponding to each normal effect number is described. Each normal effect combination data includes an image display unit 30, an electric decoration display unit 40 (excluding panel lamp units 44 and 45), and a speaker unit 50 each time a predetermined operation is performed until the game is played once. The information regarding the contents of the game effects to be executed by each of the above is included. Specifically, in the normal effect combination data, when an operation command indicating that the start lever 18 is pressed (when the lever is pressed) or when an operation command indicating that the stop button is pressed is received first ( When the operation command indicating that the stop button is pressed is received second (when the second button is pressed), when the operation command indicating that the stop button is pressed is received third (when the first press) And a total of five operations when a medal is inserted, when an operation command indicating that the MAX bet button 15 is pressed or when the one-sheet insertion button 16 is pressed (when a bet is pressed) is received. Timing is determined, and information regarding the contents of a predetermined game effect is set corresponding to each of these operation timings. Here, as information regarding the contents of the game effects included in the normal effect combination data, numbers of general effect basic data described later are used.

  When the CPU 83 performs the above-described general effect lottery process and determines a general effect number (normal effect number) having the lottery flag “NRML_ACT”, the normal effect combination data corresponding to the normal effect number is converted into the normal effect combination data. Get from table. The acquired normal effect combination data is temporarily stored in the RAM 82. Then, the CPU 83 controls the image display unit 30, the electrical decoration display unit 40 (excluding the panel lamp units 44 and 45), and the speaker unit 50 based on the normal effect combination data stored in the RAM 82. That is, the contents described in the normal performance combination data are the games to be played at each predetermined operation timing between the time when the start lever 18 is pressed and the next time the start lever 18 is pressed. The contents of the production. Further, the normal effect combination data table includes an item of a confirmation flag as shown in FIG. For example, when “BET_FIX” is specified in the item of the confirmation flag for certain normal effect combination data, the screen displayed when the bet is pressed according to the normal effect combination data is maintained as it is thereafter. . On the other hand, when “NULL” is designated in the item of the confirmation flag, the screen is not maintained.

  In addition, when the CPU 83 performs the above-described general effect lottery process and determines the general effect number (continuous effect number) having the lottery flag “CNTA_ACT”, the continuous effect pattern data corresponding to the continuous effect number is continuously generated. Obtain from the pattern data table. The acquired continuous effect pattern data is temporarily stored in the RAM 82. The CPU 83 controls the image display unit 30, the electrical decoration display unit 40 (excluding the panel lamp units 44 and 45), and the speaker unit 50 based on the continuous effect pattern data stored in the RAM 82. That is, the content described in the continuous effect pattern data is the same as the number of normal effect numbers of the normal effect combination data included in the continuous effect pattern data after the start lever 18 is pressed this time. Only until the start lever 18 is pressed, the contents of the game to be performed at each predetermined operation timing.

  In the general effect basic data storage area 81h of the ROM 81, a plurality of general effect basic data is stored. FIG. 22 is a diagram for explaining general effect basic data. As shown in FIG. 22, each general effect basic data includes the number of the general effect basic data and information for specifying the contents of the electrical effects, the contents of the audio effects, and the contents of the image effects. Here, as the information for specifying the content of the electrical decoration effect, the number of the pattern data for top lamp effect, the number of the pattern data for left side lamp effect, and the number of the pattern data for right side lamp effect are used. The top lamp effect pattern data is data for controlling the top lamp unit 41. The left side lamp effect pattern data is data for controlling the left side lamp unit 42, and the right side lamp effect pattern data is data for controlling the right side lamp unit 43. Each of these lamp effect pattern data is stored in an electrical effect pattern data storage area 81 i of the ROM 81. In addition, the number of sound effect pattern data is used as the information for specifying the content of the sound effect. Such sound effect pattern data is data for controlling the speaker unit 50, and is stored in the sound effect pattern data storage area 81 j of the ROM 81. Furthermore, as the information for specifying the content of the image effect, for example, an image effect command indicating the content of the image effect is used. When the CPU 83 transmits an image effect command to the liquid crystal control board 32, the liquid crystal control board 32 displays an image having contents corresponding to the image effect command on the liquid crystal panel 31. Here, the actual image data is stored in an image ROM (not shown) mounted on the liquid crystal control board 32. As shown in FIG. 22, in the general effect basic data, “None” may be designated as the pattern data number or the image effect command. This “None” means the content of the previous effect. Means to maintain.

  The CPU 83 specifies the general effect basic data number at the operation timing based on the normal effect combination data or the continuous effect pattern data stored in the RAM 82 at a predetermined operation timing, and then specifies the specified general effect basic data number. General production basic data corresponding to is determined. Thereafter, the CPU 83 acquires the number of each lamp effect pattern data, the number of the sound effect pattern data, and the image effect command described in the determined general effect basic data. Next, the CPU 83 reads each lamp effect pattern data corresponding to the acquired number from the illumination effect pattern data storage area 81i of the ROM 81, and based on the read lamp effect pattern data, a predetermined lighting command is issued. Generate a signal. When the lighting command signal generated by the CPU 83 is sent to the electrical display unit 40, the electrical display unit 40 performs a predetermined lighting display based on the lighting command signal. When the CPU 83 reads the sound effect pattern data corresponding to the acquired number from the sound effect pattern data storage area 81j of the ROM 81 and sends the read sound effect pattern data to the sound source LSI 84, the sound source LSI 84 Sound source data and reproduction control data corresponding to the sound effect pattern data are read from the sound source data ROM 85. The sound source LSI 84 controls the transmission of the sound source data based on the reproduction control data. The sound signal transmitted from the sound source LSI 84 is amplified by the power amplifier 86 and then output from the speaker unit 50. Further, the CPU 83 sends the acquired image effect command to the liquid crystal control board 32. As a result, the liquid crystal control board 32 displays an image having contents corresponding to the image effect command on the liquid crystal panel 31.

  As described above, the CPU 83 controls the chance lamps 442a, 442b, and 442c according to the content of the expectation effect determined by the expectation effect lottery, and the contents of the normal effect / continuous effect determined by the general effect lottery. Accordingly, the image display unit 30, the electric decoration display unit 40 (excluding the panel lamp units 44 and 45), and the speaker unit 50 are controlled. Here, the expectation degree effect is performed only when the first gaming state is the RT1 gaming state, and the number of chance lamps lit by the expectation degree effect is that the number of RT games in the RT1 gaming state is 46 times or less. It can only fluctuate sometimes. From the time when the number of RT games is 47 to the end of the RT1 gaming state, the number of lighting of chance lamps is maintained as the number of lighting at the end of the 46th RT game. In particular, in the present embodiment, during the period from when the number of RT games in the RT1 gaming state is 47 to the end of the RT1 gaming state, the larger the number of chance lamps that are lit, the greater or lesser the presence or absence of the big role winning is notified. The contents of the general effects lottery table are determined so that the general effects of the contents are likely to appear. In other words, the general performance that informs the presence or absence of such a major player is informed of the actual result of whether or not he is actually elected as a major player in relation to the degree of expectation of the major player expressed by the number of lighting of chance lamps. To play a role.

  Now, the contents of the general effect lottery table for the RT1 gaming state will be described in detail. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 18, the general effect mode numbers “28” to “61” are described in the general effect mode number table for the RT1 gaming state. For this reason, when the first gaming state is the RT1 gaming state, any of the 34 general effect lottery tables for the general effect mode numbers “28” to “61” is used.

  First, the general effect lottery table for the general effect mode number “28” and the general effect lottery table for the general effect mode number “33” will be described. As shown in FIG. 18, in the general effect lottery table of the general effect mode number “28”, the second game state at the time of the current character lottery is a state in which the main character is not inside, and the current RT game number is 46 times ( The general effect lottery table with the general effect mode number “33” is used in the case where the second game state at the time of the current character lottery is the state of the main character inside, and the current RT game frequency is Used when it is 46 times (reference number) or less. These general effect lottery tables include only normal effect numbers and do not include continuous effect numbers. Moreover, the normal effect numbers included in these general effect lottery tables are not normal effect numbers corresponding to the normal effect of the content that informs the presence / absence of the big role winning, but the normal effect corresponding to the normal effect of the general contents Number. In other words, in each of the general effect lottery tables for the general effect mode numbers “28” and “33”, the probability that the general effect of the content informing the presence / absence of the major role is determined is set to zero. For this reason, when the number of RT games in the RT1 gaming state is 46 or less, even if the winning of the big game is allowed, a screen for notifying the big game is displayed on the liquid crystal panel 31 by the general effect. There is no. As described above, since the RT1 gaming state is an advantageous gaming state in which an increase in the number of medals is expected, it is desirable that the RT game in this RT1 gaming state is exhausted to the end. However, generally, when a screen that suggests winning of a major player is displayed on the liquid crystal panel 31, the player is strongly conscious of immediately aligning the major role symbols on an effective winning line. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the number of RT games in the RT1 gaming state is 46 or less, even if the winning of the big game is permitted, the screen for informing the big game win is not displayed. This makes it easier for the player to digest the RT game to the end. At this time, the player cannot determine whether the player is elected as a major player based on the contents of the general performance. Instead, whether the player is elected as a major player based on the number of lighting of chance lamps. Will guess.

  Next, four types of general effect lottery tables for the general effect mode numbers “29”, “38”, “46”, and “54” will be described. These general effect lottery tables are used when the second game state at the time of the current role lottery is a state where the main character is not inside and the current RT game number is 47 times. Of the four types of general effect lottery tables, which general effect lottery table is used is determined in accordance with the current number of lighting of chance lamps, as shown in FIG. These general effect lottery tables include a normal effect number and a continuous effect number. Moreover, the normal effect numbers included in these general effect lottery tables are not normal effect numbers corresponding to the normal effect of the content that informs the presence / absence of the big role winning, but the normal effect corresponding to the normal effect of the general contents Number. On the other hand, all the continuous production numbers included in these general production lottery tables are continuous production numbers corresponding to the continuous production performed over four games. As a result, when a continuous effect corresponding to the continuous effect number is executed, the presence or absence of a major player is notified during the last (50th) RT game in the RT1 gaming state. As a matter of course, the above-described four types of general effect lottery tables are used when the second game state at the time of the current role lottery is the non-internal state of the main character. The continuous production corresponding to the production number is of a content that informs that the winning of a major player is not permitted. In the four types of general effect lottery tables for the general effect mode numbers “29”, “38”, “46”, and “54”, the probabilities of determining the continuous effect numbers are different. That is, among these general effect lottery tables, the general effect lottery table used when the number of chance lamps lit is large, compared to the general effect lottery table used when the number of chance lamps lit is small. Is set at a high probability. This is because the higher the degree of expectation of winning the big role, the easier it will be to produce a continuous performance that informs the presence / absence of the big role.

  In the four types of general effect lottery tables for the general effect mode numbers “34”, “42”, “50”, and “58”, the second game state at the time of the current character lottery is the internal state of the main character, and this time Used when the number of RT games is 47. Of the four types of general effect lottery tables, which general effect lottery table is used is determined in accordance with the current number of lighting of chance lamps, as shown in FIG. The contents of the general effect lottery tables are substantially the same as the contents of the general effect lottery tables for the general effect mode numbers “29”, “38”, “46”, and “54” described above. However, the four types of general effect lottery tables for the general effect mode numbers “34”, “42”, “50”, and “58” are used when the second game state at the time of the current character lottery is the internal state of the main character. Therefore, the continuous effects corresponding to the continuous effect numbers included in these general effect lottery tables have contents for notifying that the winning of the major player is permitted.

  In the four types of general effect lottery tables for the general effect mode numbers “30”, “39”, “47”, and “55”, the second game state at the time of the current role lottery is a non-internal middle state, and this time This is used when the number of RT games is 48.

The contents of the general effect lottery tables are substantially the same as the contents of the general effect lottery tables for the general effect mode numbers “29”, “38”, “46”, and “54” described above. However, all of the continuous production numbers included in the four types of general production lottery tables for the general production mode numbers “30”, “39”, “47”, and “55” are continuous over three games. It is a continuous production number corresponding to the production.

  In the four types of general effect lottery tables for the general effect mode numbers “35”, “43”, “51”, and “59”, the second game state at the time of the current character lottery is the internal state of the main character, and this time Used when the number of RT games is 48. Of the four types of general effect lottery tables, which general effect lottery table is used is determined in accordance with the current number of lighting of chance lamps, as shown in FIG. The contents of the general effect lottery tables are substantially the same as the contents of the general effect lottery tables for the general effect mode numbers “34”, “42”, “50”, and “58” described above. However, all of the continuous production numbers included in the four types of general production lottery tables for the general production mode numbers “35”, “43”, “51”, and “59” are continuous over 3 games. It is a continuous production number corresponding to the production.

  In the four types of general effect lottery tables for the general effect mode numbers “31”, “40”, “48”, and “56”, the second gaming state at the time of the current character lottery is the non-internal middle state, and this time This is used when the number of RT games is 49. Of the four types of general effect lottery tables, which general effect lottery table is used is determined in accordance with the current number of lighting of chance lamps, as shown in FIG. The contents of the general effect lottery tables are substantially the same as the contents of the general effect lottery tables for the general effect mode numbers “29”, “38”, “46”, and “54” described above. However, the continuous effect numbers included in the four types of general effect lottery tables for the general effect mode numbers “31”, “40”, “48”, and “56” are all consecutively performed over two games. It is a continuous production number corresponding to the production.

  In the four types of general effect lottery tables for the general effect mode numbers “36”, “44”, “52”, and “60”, the second game state at the time of the current character lottery is the internal state of the main character, Used when the number of RT games is 49. Of the four types of general effect lottery tables, which general effect lottery table is used is determined in accordance with the current number of lighting of chance lamps, as shown in FIG. The contents of the general effect lottery tables are substantially the same as the contents of the general effect lottery tables for the general effect mode numbers “34”, “42”, “50”, and “58” described above. However, the continuous effect numbers included in the four general effect lottery tables for the general effect mode numbers “36”, “44”, “52”, and “60” are all consecutively performed over two games. It is a continuous production number corresponding to the production.

  In the four types of general effect lottery tables for the general effect mode numbers “32”, “41”, “49”, and “57”, the second game state at the time of the current role lottery is the non-internal middle state, and this time This is used when the number of RT games is 50. Of the four types of general effect lottery tables, which general effect lottery table is used is determined in accordance with the current number of lighting of chance lamps, as shown in FIG. These general effect lottery tables include only normal effect numbers and do not include continuous effect numbers. And the normal production number included in these general production lottery tables is the normal production number corresponding to the normal production of the general content, and the normal production number corresponding to the normal production of the content informing the presence / absence of the big role winning. It consists of. Here, among the general effect lottery tables, the general effect lottery table used when the number of chance lamps lit is large compared to the general effect lottery table used when the number of chance lamps lit is small. The probability that the normal production number corresponding to the normal production of the content informing the presence / absence of the event is determined is set high. In addition, the normal performance of the content that informs the presence / absence of winning of the major player is one that informs that the winning of the major player is not permitted.

  In the four types of general effect lottery tables for the general effect mode numbers “37”, “45”, “53”, and “61”, the second game state at the time of the current character lottery is the internal state of the main character, and this time Used when the number of RT games is 50. Of the four types of general effect lottery tables, which general effect lottery table is used is determined in accordance with the current number of lighting of chance lamps, as shown in FIG. These general effect lottery tables include only normal effect numbers and do not include continuous effect numbers. And the normal production number included in these general production lottery tables is the normal production number corresponding to the normal production of the general content, and the normal production number corresponding to the normal production of the content informing the presence / absence of the big role winning.

The probability that the normal production number corresponding to the normal production of the content informing the presence / absence of the event is determined is set high. It should be noted that the normal performance of the content that informs whether or not the major player has been elected is the content that informs that the winning of the major player is permitted.

  As described above, the CPU 83 controls the image display unit 30, the electrical display unit 40, and the speaker unit 50 in accordance with the contents of the expectation level effect / general effect determined by the effect lottery. The CPU 83 controls the image display unit 30. The types of effects to be executed by the electrical display unit 40 and the speaker unit 50 are not limited to this. That is, the CPU 83 causes the image display unit 30, the electrical display unit 40, and the speaker unit 50 to execute other effects other than the above-described expectation effect / general effect depending on the game situation. Examples of such other effects include a notification effect of the first gaming state. The notification effect of the first gaming state is an effect for notifying the player of the current first gaming state, and the first gaming state notification lamps 441a, 441b, 451a, 451b included in the panel lamp units 44, 45. , 452.

  Specifically, when the first gaming state is the general gaming state, the CPU 83 turns on the first gaming state notification lamp 452 and turns off the other first gaming state notification lamps 441a, 441b, 451a, 451b. When the first gaming state is the RT1 gaming state or the RT3 gaming state, the CPU 83 turns on the first gaming state notification lamps 441a and 441b and turns off the other first gaming state notification lamps 451a, 451b, and 452. When the first gaming state is the RT2 gaming state, the CPU 83 turns off all the first gaming state notification lamps 441a, 441b, 451a, 451b, 452. Then, when the first gaming state is the BB gaming state or the CTBB gaming state, the CPU 83 turns on the first gaming state notification lamps 451a and 451b and turns off the other first gaming state notification lamps 441a, 441b and 452. . That is, the first gaming state notification lamp 452 is lit while the first gaming state is the general gaming state, and the first gaming state notification lamps 441a and 441b are in the RT1 gaming state or the RT3 gaming state. The first gaming state notification lamps 451a and 451b are lit during the period in which the first gaming state is the big game state.

  Note that the first gaming state notification lamps 451a and 451b may be used as the major player notification lamps for notifying that the winning of the major player is permitted. That is, the CPU 83 may perform control so that the first gaming state notification lamps 451a and 451b are turned on when executing the general effect of notifying that the winning of the major player is permitted.

  Next, the procedure of the process performed by the main control board 70 in the spinning cylinder game machine of this embodiment will be described. FIG. 23 is a flowchart for explaining a procedure of processing performed by the main control board 70.

  First, the CPU 74 of the main control board 70 performs a medal insertion operation waiting process (S1). That is, the CPU 74 waits for a detection signal from the inserted medal detection sensor 61, the MAX bet button operation detection sensor 62, or the one-sheet insertion button operation detection sensor 63. When the CPU 74 receives the detection signal and recognizes that a predetermined number of medals have been inserted, the CPU 74 indicates that a medal has been inserted from the medal insertion slot 13, or the MAX bet button 15 or the single insertion button 16 has been pressed. An operation command to that effect is transmitted to the effect control board 80. Next, the CPU 74 performs a start lever pressing waiting process (S2). That is, the CPU 74 waits for a detection signal sent from the start lever operation detection sensor 64. When the CPU 74 receives a signal from any one of the inserted medal detection sensor 61, the MAX bet button operation detection sensor 62, and the one-sheet insertion button operation detection sensor 63, if the CPU 74 receives a signal from the start lever operation detection sensor 64, Recognizes that has started.

  When the game is thus started, the CPU 74 performs a role lottery process based on the random number value (S3). That is, the random number generation means 71 of the main control board 70 acquires a random value at the timing when the signal from the start lever operation detection sensor 64 is received, and sends the acquired random value to the CPU 74. The CPU 74 specifies a predetermined combination lottery table based on the current gaming state (the first gaming state and the second gaming state), and then based on the specified combination lottery table, the acquired random number value indicates which combination By determining whether it corresponds to, it is determined which role has been won or not. At this time, the CPU 74 updates the contents of the game data relating to the gaming state based on the result of the combination lottery. In addition, when the current second gaming state is the non-internal middle state, the winning combination determined in the part lottery process is “BB1”, “BB1 and watermelon small part” or “BB1 and cherry small part”. If so, the current second gaming state is shifted from the main non-internal state to the BB1 internal state. If the winning combination determined in the combination lottery process is “BB2”, “BB2 and watermelon small combination”, “BB2 and cherry small combination” or “BB2 and replay B combination”, the current second gaming state is set. If the winning combination determined in the combination lottery process is “CTBB”, “CTBB and watermelon small combination” or “CTBB and replay B combination” The two gaming states are shifted from the main player non-internal state to the CTBB internal state.

  Then, CPU74 produces | generates an effect command based on the result of a role lottery, and transmits the produced effect command to the effect control board 80 (S4). At this time, the CPU 74 also transmits to the effect control board 80 game data related to the game state at the time of the current role lottery along with the effect command. That is, even if the second gaming state is shifted based on the result of the combination lottery, the CPU 74 transmits game data related to the gaming state before the transition to the effect control board 80. Here, it is assumed that the effect command also serves as an operation command indicating that the start lever 18 has been pressed.

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

  Next, the CPU 74 performs a stop process for the three reel reels 11a, 11b, and 11c (S7). That is, when receiving a signal from the left stop button operation detection sensor 65a, the CPU 74 controls the left spinning reel drive means 66a to stop the left spinning reel 11a. Then, an operation command indicating that the left stop button 19a is pressed is created and transmitted to the effect control board 80, and then an operation command indicating that the left stop button 19a is released is generated and effect control is performed. Transmit to the substrate 80. Further, when the CPU 74 receives a signal from the center stop button operation detection sensor 65b, the CPU 74 controls the center spinning reel driving means 66b to stop the central spinning reel 11b. Then, an operation command indicating that the center stop button 19b is pressed is created and transmitted to the effect control board 80, and then an operation command indicating that the pressed state of the center stop button 19b is released is generated and the effect control is performed. Transmit to the substrate 80. Further, when receiving a signal from the right stop button operation detection sensor 65c, the CPU 74 controls the right spinning reel drive unit 66c to stop the right spinning reel 11c. Then, an operation command indicating that the right stop button 19c is pressed is created and transmitted to the effect control board 80, and then an operation command indicating that the right stop button 19c is released is generated and effect control is performed. Transmit to the substrate 80.

  Thus, when all of the three reel reels 11a, 11b, and 11c are stopped, the CPU 74 recognizes the combination of symbols that are stopped and displayed on the effective winning line, and performs a winning determination process (S8). For example, when it is determined by the winning determination process that the game result is a small role winning, the CPU 74 pays out a predetermined number of medals. Further, the CPU 74 updates the contents of the game data relating to the game state based on the result of the game. Thus, the processing flow shown in FIG. 23 ends. Thereafter, the CPU 74 starts processing again from step S1.

  Next, the procedure of the process performed by the effect control board 80 in the rotating type gaming machine of the present embodiment will be described. 24 is a flowchart for explaining the procedure of the process performed by the effect control board 80, FIG. 25 is a flowchart for explaining the procedure of the expectation effect lottery process performed by the effect control board 80, and FIGS. 26 and 27 are the effect control. It is a flowchart for demonstrating the procedure of the general production | presentation lottery process which the board | substrate 80 performs.

  First, the CPU 83 of the effect control board 80 performs command waiting processing according to the flow of FIG. 24 (S21). The main control board 70 sends various types of commands to the effect control board 80. In this command waiting process, the CPU 83 waits for a command to be sent from the main control board 70. When receiving the command, the CPU 83 determines whether or not the received command is an effect command (S22). If the command is not an effect command, the process proceeds to step S25. On the other hand, if the command is an effect command, the effect command is temporarily stored in the RAM 82. Here, since the main control board 70 also transmits the game data related to the gaming state at the time of the current role lottery to the effect control board 80 together with the effect command, the CPU 83 receives the game data related to the gaming state and relates to the gaming state. Game data is also temporarily stored in the RAM 82. Specifically, the game data relating to the gaming state includes an RT mode, the number of RT games, a BB1 internal flag, a BB2 internal flag, a CTBB internal flag, and the like. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S23.

  In step S23, an expectation effect lottery process is performed. This expectation effect lottery process is performed according to the flow of FIG. First, the CPU 83 determines whether the current first gaming state is the RT1 gaming state based on the RT mode stored in the RAM 82 (S51). If the current first gaming state is not the RT1 gaming state, the CPU 83 determines not to perform the expectation effect lottery process in the current game, and ends the expectation effect lottery process of FIG. On the other hand, when the current first gaming state is the RT1 gaming state, the CPU 83 determines whether or not the current RT game number is 46 or less based on the RT game number stored in the RAM 82. (S52). If the number of RT games this time is greater than 46, the CPU 83 determines not to perform the expectation effect lottery process in the current game, and ends the expectation effect lottery process in FIG.

  If it is determined in step S52 that the current RT game number is 46 or less, the CPU 83 recognizes the second gaming state at the time of the current combination lottery based on the gaming data related to the gaming state stored in the RAM 82, and Based on the data relating to the number of chance lamp lighting stored in the RAM 82, the current number of lighting of the chance lamp is recognized (S53). Then, the CPU 83 uses the expectation effect mode number table stored in the expectation effect mode number table storage area 81a of the ROM 81 to determine a predetermined expectation according to the recognized second gaming state and the number of lighting of the chance lamps. The degree effect mode number is specified (S54).

  Next, the CPU 83 recognizes the winning combination of the current game based on the contents of the effect command stored in the RAM 82, and recognizes it in the expectation effect lottery table of the expectation effect mode number specified in the process of step S54. The lottery of the expected degree effect is drawn using the lottery probability described in the item of the winning combination, and one expected degree effect number is determined (S55). Thereafter, the CPU 83 acquires, from the expectation effect control data storage area 81c of the ROM 81, the expectation effect control data corresponding to the expectation effect number determined by the lottery of the expectation effect, and the acquired expectation effect control data. The data is temporarily stored in the RAM 82 (S56). Thereafter, the CPU 83 ends the expectation effect lottery process of FIG.

  Thus, after the expected degree effect lottery process of FIG. 25 is performed, the CPU 83 performs a general effect lottery process (S24). This general effect lottery process is performed according to the flow of FIGS. First, the CPU 83 determines whether or not the count value of the continuous effect counter is “0” (S61). If the count value of the continuous effect counter is not “0”, the CPU 83 recognizes that the continuous effect was performed during the previous game. In this case, the process proceeds to step S62. On the other hand, if the count value of the continuous effect counter is “0”, the CPU 83 recognizes that the continuous effect is not performed during the previous game. In this case, the process proceeds to step S64 in order to determine the contents of the general effect to be performed during the current game.

  When determining in step S61 that the count value of the continuous effect counter is not “0”, the CPU 83 decrements the count value of the continuous effect counter by 1 (S62). The count value of the continuous effect counter after the decrement represents the remaining number of games in which the continuous effect is performed at the time of playing the current game. Next, the CPU 83 determines whether or not the count value of the continuous effect counter is “0” (S63). In the process of step S63, when it is determined that the count value of the continuous effect counter is “0”, the CPU 83 recognizes that all the continuous effects have ended at the end of the previous game. In this case, the process proceeds to step S64 in order to determine the contents of the general effect to be performed during the current game. On the other hand, if it is determined that the count value of the continuous effect counter is not “0”, the CPU 83 recognizes that all the continuous effects have not ended at the end of the previous game, and that the continuous effect should be continued this time. To do. That is, in the current game, the CPU 83 controls the game effect based on the continuous effect pattern data already stored in the RAM 82. In this case, the CPU 83 acquires the normal effect combination data corresponding to the normal effect number at the time of the current game included in the continuous effect pattern data from the normal effect combination data table, and temporarily stores the acquired normal effect combination data in the RAM 82. Store (S71). Thereafter, the CPU 83 ends the general effect lottery process of FIGS. 26 and 27, and proceeds to step S21 in FIG.

  In step S64, the CPU 83 determines whether or not the current first gaming state is the RT1 gaming state based on the gaming data relating to the gaming state stored in the RAM 82. If the current first gaming state is not the RT1 gaming state, the CPU 83 specifies the general effect mode number using the general effect mode selection table for the first gaming state (S66). On the other hand, if the current first gaming state is the RT1 gaming state, the CPU 83 recognizes the second gaming state at the time of the current combination lottery, the number of times of the current RT game, and the number of lighting of the current chance lamp (S65). Then, the CPU 83 uses the general effect mode selection table for the RT1 game state to determine the general effect mode number based on the second game state at the time of the current role lottery, the current RT game number, and the current number of lighting of the chance lamp. Specify (S66). After the processing of step S66, the CPU 83 recognizes the winning combination of the current game based on the contents of the effect command stored in the RAM 82, and recognizes the recognized winning in the general effect lottery table of the specified general effect mode number. The lottery of the general effect is performed using the lottery probability described in the item of the combination, and the general effect number and the lottery flag are acquired (S67).

  Next, the CPU 83 determines whether or not the lottery flag acquired by the general effect lottery is “CNTA_ACT” (S68). If the lottery flag is “NRML_ACT”, the CPU 83 acquires the normal effect combination data corresponding to the general effect number (normal effect number) acquired by the general effect lottery from the normal effect combination data table, and the acquired normal effect. The combination data is temporarily stored in the RAM 82 (S71). Thereafter, the CPU 83 ends the general effect lottery process of FIGS. 26 and 27, and proceeds to step S21 in FIG.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of step S68 that the lottery flag is “CNTA_ACT”, the CPU 83 sets the number of continuous effect games designated in the item of the lottery flag as the count value of the continuous effect counter ( S69). Next, the CPU 83 acquires the continuous effect pattern data corresponding to the general effect number (continuous effect number) from the continuous effect pattern data table, and temporarily stores the acquired continuous effect pattern data in the RAM 82 (S70). Then, the CPU 83 obtains the normal effect combination data corresponding to the normal effect number at the time of the current (first) game included in the continuous effect pattern data from the normal effect combination data table, and the acquired normal effect combination data is stored in the RAM 82. (S71). Thereafter, the CPU 83 ends the general effect lottery process of FIGS. 26 and 27, and proceeds to step S21 in FIG.

  In step S25, the CPU 83 determines whether or not the command sent from the main control board 70 is an operation command. If the command is not an operation command, the CPU 83 performs other processing based on the command (S30). Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S21.

  If it is determined in step S25 that the command is an operation command, the CPU 83 determines the expectation degree effect corresponding to the operation command in the expectation degree effect control data if the expectation degree effect control data is stored in the RAM 82. It is determined whether or not (S26). If an expectation effect corresponding to the operation command is not defined, the process proceeds to step S28. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S26 that the expectation effect corresponding to the operation command is determined, the CPU 83 performs an expectation effect process based on the expectation effect control data stored in the RAM 82 (S27). That is, when the expectation level effect control data is stored in the RAM 82 and the expectation level effect control data defines an expectation level effect corresponding to the operation command, the CPU 83 determines the expectation level effect control data. Data at the operation timing is acquired from the inside, and the chance lamps 442a, 442b, 442c are controlled based on the acquired data.

  Specifically, when an operation command indicating that the stop button has been pressed is first received, the CPU 83 does not include data for the first press in the expectation effect control data stored in the RAM 82. For example, a predetermined chance lamp is controlled based on data for the first depression. When the second operation command indicating that the stop button has been pressed is received, the CPU 83, if the expectation effect control data stored in the RAM 82 includes data for the second press, A predetermined chance lamp is controlled based on the data for the second depression. When the operation command indicating that the stop button has been pressed is received third, the CPU 83 determines that the expectation effect control data stored in the RAM 82 includes data for the third press, A predetermined chance lamp is controlled based on data for the third depression. When the CPU 83 receives an operation command indicating that the pressed state of the stop button as the operation target is released in the third received operation command, the CPU 83 stores the expectation degree effect control data stored in the RAM 82. If the data for the third press release is included, the predetermined chance lamp is controlled based on the data for the third press release. In this way, the chance lamps 442a, 442b, and 442c perform an expectation degree effect. In addition, after the process of step S27, it transfers to step S28.

  In step S28, the CPU 83 determines whether or not a normal effect corresponding to the operation command is defined in the normal effect combination data stored in the RAM 82. If the normal effect corresponding to the operation command is not defined, the process proceeds to step S30. On the other hand, when the normal effect corresponding to the operation command is determined, the CPU 83 performs the normal effect process based on the normal effect control data stored in the RAM 82 (S29). That is, after specifying the general effect basic data number at the operation timing based on the normal effect combination data stored in the RAM 82, the CPU 83 stores the general effect basic data corresponding to the specified general effect basic data number in the ROM 81. To control the image display unit 30, the illumination display unit 40, and the speaker unit 50.

  Specifically, when receiving an operation command indicating that the start lever 18 has been pressed, the CPU 83 determines the image display unit 30, the electrical display unit 40, and the speaker unit based on the general effect basic data when the lever is pressed. 50 is controlled. Thereby, the image display part 30, the electrical decoration display part 40, and the speaker part 50 perform a predetermined | prescribed effect at the time of lever press. Further, when the CPU 83 first receives an operation command indicating that the stop button has been pressed, the image display unit 30, the illumination display unit 40, and the speaker unit 50 according to the general effect basic data for the first press. When the second operation command indicating that the stop button has been pressed is received, the image display unit 30, the illumination display unit 40, and the speaker unit 50 according to the general effect basic data for the second press. And when the operation command indicating that the stop button has been pressed is received third, the image display unit 30, the illumination display unit 40, and the speaker according to the general effect basic data for the third press. The unit 50 is controlled. Thereby, when each stop button is pressed, the image display part 30, the electrical decoration display part 40, and the speaker part 50 perform a predetermined effect. Further, when an operation command is sent from the main control board 70 to the effect that a medal has been inserted from the medal insertion slot 13 or the MAX bet button 15 or the single-sheet insertion button 16 has been pressed, The image display unit 30, the electrical display unit 40, and the speaker unit 50 are controlled according to the production basic data. Thereby, the image display part 30, the electrical decoration display part 40, and the speaker part 50 perform predetermined | prescribed effect at the time of bet pressing. In addition, after the process of step S29, it transfers to step S30.

  In the swivel type gaming machine of the present embodiment, in addition to the image display unit that performs general effects related to the game, an expectation effect for expressing the expectation degree of winning the big role when the first game state is the RT1 game state A chance lamp is provided. Here, the degree of expectation for winning the big role is expressed by the number of lighting of the chance lamps. In addition, the CPU of the effect control board determines the contents of the general effects by lottery using a predetermined general effect lottery table, causes the image display unit to execute the general effects of the determined contents, and performs a predetermined expectation effect. The lottery table is used to determine the content of the expected degree effect by lottery, and the chance lamp is caused to execute the expected degree effect of the determined content. The expectation effect that can be determined by using each expectation effect lottery table does not include an expectation effect having a content of reducing the number of lighting of chance lamps from the current number of lighting. As a result, the chance lamp can progressively express the expectation of winning the big role over the period in which the first gaming state is the RT1 gaming state. For this reason, the player's interest can be directed to the extent to which the degree of expectation is increased during the RT1 gaming state, so that the effect can be enhanced and the game performance can be improved.

  In the general effect lottery table for the RT1 game state used when the number of RT games in the RT1 game state is 46 times or less, the probability of determining the general effect of notifying whether or not a major player has been won is zero. In the general effect lottery table for the RT1 gaming state used when the number of RT games in the RT1 gaming state is more than 46 and the number of chance lamps is large, the RT1 gaming state Compared to the general effect lottery table for the RT1 gaming state used when the number of RT games in the game is the same as the above and the number of chance lamps lit is small, the general effect of notifying the presence or absence of a major player Is set at a high probability. As a result, it is possible to prevent the general effect of notifying the presence / absence of a major player from being played until immediately before the end of the RT1 gaming state, so that all the 50 RT games are digested and the RT1 gaming state is determined. The player can have a sense of ending, and the player will have the expectation of winning the big role that the player receives from the number of lighting of the chance lamps throughout the period in which the first gaming state is the RT1 gaming state. Can continue.

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

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the expectation degree effect is executed only by the chance lamp has been described, but the expectation degree effect may be executed not only by the chance lamp but also by the speaker unit.

  As described above, according to the swivel type gaming machine of the present invention, the expectation degree directing means can progressively express the expectation degree of winning the major role over a period in which the gaming state is the special gaming state. For this reason, the player's interest can be directed to the extent to which the degree of expectation increases during the special gaming state, so that the effect can be enhanced and the game performance can be improved. In addition, when the gaming state is the special gaming state, it is possible to prevent the general effect of notifying whether the winning of the major player is permitted until just before the special gaming state ends. In addition, it is possible to give the player a sense of ending all of the upper limit number of games and ending the special game state, and also expecting the expectation of the major player winning from the expectation expressed by the expectation directing means The player can continue to have the game state during the period when the game state is the special game state. Therefore, the present invention can be applied to a spinning-type game machine that produces various games according to the game situation.
