Description

  The present invention relates to a slot machine in which, for example, the effect changes according to the number of rotations and the rotation time of a reel after the reel starts rotating.

Conventionally, in a slot machine, a lottery of a combination is performed for each game, and an effect corresponding to the lottery result is selected and output. Here, a slot machine is known in which a winning combination winning history is stored and an effect is output based on the history (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In this slot machine, the winning history of past bonus roles is memorized and the production is output based on the history, so a variety of productions can be performed regardless of the appearance rate and the gameplay during bonus game, The fun of the game can be improved (paragraph numbers “0067”, “0070”, “0110” to “0112” in Patent Document 1).
JP 2007-089677 A

However, as in the above-described conventional technique, when the presentation is determined based on the winning history of the bonus combination, if the bonus combination is not selected at all (for example, immediately after the slot machine is turned on), there are various There is a problem that it will not be a direct performance.
In addition, even if an effect in the game is output based on a winning combination history in the past, it is not an effect that reflects the lottery result of the role in the game, and therefore misleads the player ( There is a problem that there is a case where an effect with high expectation is output even though the expectation level in the game is low.

Furthermore, once the player knows that the output to be output is based on the past bonus role winning history in the slot machine, the player can have a sense of expectation with the output of the effect. However, there is a problem that the reliability of the entire performance may be lowered.
Furthermore, even if the output based on the winning history of the past bonus combination is output, it is not possible to select an effect inconsistent with the lottery result of the combination in the game. There is a problem of end.

  Therefore, the problem to be solved by the present invention is to output an effect corresponding to the lottery result of the combination in the game and to be able to change the contents of the effect in various ways.

The present invention solves the above-described problems by the following means.
According to the first aspect of the present invention, a reel displaying a plurality of types of symbols, a stop switch operated by a player when stopping the rotation of the reel, and the stop switch operated from the time when the rotation of the reel starts. And a lottery drawing means for lottery drawing, and when the stop switch is operated, the winning lottery means for rotating the reel when receiving a rotation start command for the reel. Reel control means for stopping and controlling the reel so as to correspond to the lottery result of the combination, rotation value measuring means for measuring a value based on the number of rotations or the rotation time of the reel in a predetermined period, a game There are multiple types of production patterns that define the production content to be output, and the production pattern is selected and selected based on the lottery result of the combination by the combination lottery means. Effect control means for controlling to output an effect according to the effect pattern, wherein the effect control means determines in advance the relationship between the value measured by the rotation value measuring means and the selection of the effect pattern. The effect pattern is selected so as to correspond to the value measured by the rotation value measuring means.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the slot machine according to the first aspect of the present invention, the slot machine includes an index provided at a predetermined position of the reel, and a sensor that detects the rotation of the reel by passing the index. The value measuring means is configured to measure how many times the reel has rotated during the predetermined period by detecting the number of passes of the index by the sensor.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the slot machine according to the first or second aspect, the effect control means preliminarily shows a relationship between a value measured by the rotation value measuring means and a selection rate of each of the effect patterns. One of the effect patterns is selected at a selection rate corresponding to the value measured by the rotation value measuring means.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the slot machine according to any one of the first to third aspects, an effect pattern P1 is provided as one of the effect patterns, and the effect control means is configured to measure the rotation value. When the value measured by the means is V1, the selection rate of the effect pattern P1 is set to R1, and when the value measured by the rotation value measurement means is V2, the effect pattern P1 It is characterized in that the selection rate is set to R2.

  According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in the slot machine according to any one of the first to fourth aspects, the number of rotations or the rotation time of the reel in the predetermined period is selected as the gaming state. When there is a notification game that notifies the player of the relationship with the effect pattern and a non-notification game that is not notified, and the effect control means determines that the predetermined condition of the notification game is satisfied, the game state Is set to the notification game, and when the value measured by the rotation value measuring means is V3, the effect pattern P2 is selected from the effect patterns, and the value measured by the rotation value measuring means is the V3. If not, at least one specific game in which the effect pattern P2 is not selected is set, and if the game state is the notification game and the specific game, the effect pattern P2 And controls so as to inform the player the number of revolutions or the rotation time of the reel at the predetermined period to be selected.

  The invention of claim 6 is the slot machine according to claim 5, wherein the effect pattern P2 is the effect pattern for notifying the lottery result of the combination by the combination lottery means.

(Function)
In the first aspect of the present invention, the rotation value measuring means measures the number of rotations or the rotation time of the reel in a predetermined period.
On the other hand, the relationship between the number of rotations or the rotation time of the reel in a predetermined period and the effect pattern to be selected is set in advance.
Then, the effect control means selects an effect pattern corresponding to the measurement result by the rotation value measuring means, and outputs the effect according to the effect pattern.
As a result, even if the lottery result of the combination is the same, the production pattern to be selected differs depending on the number of rotations or the rotation time of the reels, so that various productions are output regardless of the lottery result of the combination. be able to.

  According to the present invention, even if the lottery result of the combination is the same, the production contents vary depending on the number of rotations or the rotation time of the reels, so that the production can be varied.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an outline of control of the slot machine 10 in the present embodiment.
The game control means 60 of the slot machine 10 is means for controlling the entire slot machine 10 and controls the lottery of the winning combination, the drive control of the reels 31, the payout at the time of winning, and the output of effects. The game control means 60 is provided on a control board (not shown). The game control means 60 is a CPU for performing calculations, a ROM for storing programs necessary for the progress of games and the output of effects, etc. A RAM or the like for temporarily storing data and the like taken in when performing control is provided.

In FIG. 1, the game control means 60 is connected to various devices (including all switches, sensors, electronic components, devices, boards, etc.). In FIG. 1, the left side of the game control means 60 indicates the input side (input device is connected), and the right side indicates the output side (output device is connected).
In FIG. 1, the medal detection sensor 13, the bet switch 40, the start switch 41, the stop switch 42, and the index detection sensor 34 are electrically connected to the input side of the game control means 60.

The medal detection sensor 13 is a sensor that detects a medal inserted by the player from the medal insertion slot 12.
The bet switch 40 is a switch operated when the player inserts a stored medal for the game. Therefore, the operation of the bet switch 40 plays the same role as inserting a medal from the medal slot 12.
The start switch 41 is a switch operated by the player when starting the reel 31.

Furthermore, three stop switches 42 are provided corresponding to the three reels 31 and are operated by the player when stopping the corresponding reels 31.
Further, the index detection sensor 34 is a sensor for detecting the index 33 provided on the reel 31 (details will be described later).

The motor 32 of the reel unit 30 is electrically connected to the output side of the game control means 60.
The motor (stepping motor) 32 is for rotating the reel 31 and is controlled by the game control means 60. Here, the reel 31 includes a left reel 31, a middle reel 31, and a right reel 31, and a stop switch 42 that is operated when the left reel 31 is stopped is the left stop switch 42, and when the middle reel 31 is stopped. The stop switch 42 to be operated is the middle stop switch 42, and the stop switch 42 to be operated when stopping the right reel 31 is the right stop switch 42.
Each reel 31 is provided with the index 33 described above.

Furthermore, on the outer peripheral surface of the reel 31, a reel tape (not shown) on which a plurality of types of symbols (such as symbols constituting a combination of symbols corresponding to roles) is printed is attached.
FIG. 2 is a view showing the relationship between the display window (transparent window) 11 provided on the front mask portion (front door, not shown) of the slot machine 10 and the reel 31. In the present embodiment, three reels 31 are provided in parallel in the horizontal direction. In addition, each reel 31 is arranged so that three symbols that are continuous in the vertical direction can be seen from the display window 11. In the example of FIG. 2, for example, the left reel 31 shows that three symbols “bell”, “7”, and “RP” are visible from above. Therefore, it is arranged so that a total of nine symbols can be seen from the display window 11 of the slot machine 10.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, symbol combination lines (effective lines) L <b> 1 to L <b> 5 are provided in a portion including the display window 11 of the slot machine 10.
Here, the “symbol combination line” is a line of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped, and is a line that forms a combination of symbols. In the present embodiment, three symbol combination lines L1, L2, L3 in the horizontal direction provided respectively in the middle, upper and lower stages in the horizontal direction, and two symbol combination lines L4 in the diagonal direction to the right and to the right. And L5 in total. The three symbols that are continuous above and below each reel 31 are positioned on one or more symbol combination lines L1 to L5, respectively.

An effective line and an invalid line are set from these five symbol combination lines.
Here, in the present embodiment, the “effective line” is a line for winning a combination when a combination of symbols corresponding to any combination stops on the line.
On the other hand, an “invalid line” is a line that is not set as an effective line among symbol combination lines, and even if a combination of symbols corresponding to any combination stops on that line, This is a line that does not give profits (medal payout etc.). In other words, the invalid line is a line that is not a target of combination of symbols in the first place.

  In this embodiment, during a game (during a normal game and a special game), all three medals are inserted, and all five symbol combination lines L1 to L5 are set as active lines to play the game. It is like that.

  However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the number of medals inserted may be set to be one or two. In this case, for example, when the number of inserted medals is 1, the horizontal symbol combination effective line L1 is set as an effective line, and the other four symbol combination lines L2 to L5 are set as invalid lines. Can be mentioned. When the number of inserted medals is two, the three symbol combination effective lines L1 to L3 in the horizontal middle, upper and lower are set as effective lines, and the other two symbol combination lines L4 and L4 For example, L5 may be set as an invalid line. On the other hand, even if the number of inserted medals is one or two, all five symbol combination lines L1 to L5 may be set as effective lines.

In FIG. 1, an effect output device including a lamp 21, a speaker 22, and an image display device 23 is electrically connected to the output side of the game control means 60.
The lamps 21 are effects lamps for the slot machine 10 and are turned on in a predetermined pattern when predetermined conditions are satisfied. The lamp 21 is arranged on the inner peripheral side of each reel 31 and is a back lamp (not shown) for illuminating from behind the symbols displayed on the reel 31 (three symbols that are continuously visible from the display window 11). ), And an upper lamp and a side lamp (not shown) that are arranged in the front mask portion of the slot machine 10 and blink when a winning combination or an effect is output.

The speaker 22 outputs a predetermined sound when a predetermined condition is satisfied in order to perform various effects during the game.
Furthermore, the image display device 23 is composed of a liquid crystal display, an LED dot display, or the like, and displays various effect images, predetermined information, and the like during the game.
The production output device is not limited to the above.

  FIG. 3 is a front view showing a part of the reel unit 30 so that the inside of the reel 31 can be seen. Three reel units 30 shown in FIG. 3 are arranged side by side and arranged as shown in FIG.

In FIG. 3, the reel 31 has a substantially hollow cylindrical shape, and actually the outer peripheral surface also has a skeleton shape, specifically, a cylindrical shape formed by connecting both ends of a ladder shape. .
A motor shaft 32 a of the motor 32 is connected to the center portion of the reel 31. Furthermore, a support plate 35 is disposed on the right side of the reel 31 when viewed from the front. The support plate 35 is fixed inside the housing of the slot machine 10. A motor 32 is attached to the support plate 35. Accordingly, the motor 32 is disposed on the inner peripheral side of the reel 31.

An index forming member 37 is attached so as to rotate with the reel 31 as the motor shaft 32a rotates. The index forming member 37 has a substantially disk shape, and an index (light-shielding piece) 33 is erected at one place on the outer peripheral end.
On the other hand, an index detection sensor 34 is attached to the support plate 35 via a support member 36. The index detection sensor 34 is an optical sensor including a light emitting element and a light receiving element. And the index 33 is arrange | positioned so that it may pass between these light emitting elements and light receiving elements.

  Therefore, when the index 33 does not exist between the light emitting element and the light receiving element of the index detection sensor 34, the light receiving element detects the light emitted from the light emitting element, but between the light emitting element and the light receiving element. When the index 33 passes, the light from the light emitting element to the light receiving element is shielded for a moment, so that the passage of the index 33 is detected by detecting this light shielding. Since the index 33 is provided only at one position of the index forming member 37, the index 33 is detected once every time the reel 31 rotates once. That is, when the index 33 is detected once, it is detected that the reel 31 has rotated once.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing combinations of combinations of types (combinations drawn by the combination lottery means 61 described later), the number of payouts, and the like in the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 4, special combinations, small combinations, and replays are provided as combinations.

The special role is a role that shifts from a normal game to a special game (a game in which a medal can be expected more than a normal game). In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, BB (first type big bonus) and RB (regular bonus) are provided as special roles. BB is a role for shifting to a BB game, which is one of special games, and RB is a role for shifting to an RB game, which is another one of special games.
Other special roles include MB (middle bonus, also referred to as 2BB (second type big bonus)) and SB (single bonus), which are not provided in this embodiment.

Furthermore, a small combination is a combination in which a predetermined number of medals are paid out. In this embodiment, three types of small combination 1, small combination 2, and small combination 3 are provided. A combination of the number of payouts and a symbol is set for each small role.
Furthermore, the replay is a replaying role that enables a replaying game in which the number of medals inserted in the game is maintained.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, combinations of symbols of the reels 31 corresponding to the above various combinations are determined in advance. Note that “any” in the small part 1 means that any symbol may be used.
When all the reels 31 are stopped, the combination of symbols corresponding to any of the combinations stops on the active line, and when the winning combination of the combination is won, the number of medals corresponding to the combination is paid out.

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

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

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

  At the start of the game, the player operates the bet switch 40 to insert a previously stored medal, or inserts a medal from the medal insertion slot 12, and turns on the start switch 41. When the start switch 41 is operated, a signal generated at that time is input to the game control means 60. When the game control means 60 (specifically, the reel control means 64 described later) receives this signal, it controls to drive all the motors 32 and rotate all the reels 31. As the reel 31 is rotated by the motor 32 in this way, the symbols on the reel 31 are moved and displayed in the vertical direction in the display window 11 at a predetermined speed.

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

  As shown in FIG. 1, the game control means 60 includes the following combination lottery means 61 and the like. The following means in the present embodiment are examples, and the game control means 60 is not limited to the means shown in the present embodiment.

  The role lottery means 61 performs lottery of a role (the special role, the small role, and the replay described above). The role lottery means 61 is based on, for example, a random number generation means (hardware random number, etc.) for a role lottery, a random number extraction means for extracting a random number generated by the random number generation means, and a random value extracted by the random number extraction means. And determining means for determining the presence / absence of a winning combination and the winning combination.

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

  The random number extracting means extracts the random number generated by the random number generating means at a predetermined time, in this embodiment, when the start switch 41 is turned on by the player. The determination unit determines the combination corresponding to the region to which the random number value belongs by comparing the random number value extracted by the random number extraction unit with a combination lottery table 62 described later. For example, if the extracted random number value belongs to the replay winning area, it is determined to be replay winning, and if it belongs to the non-winning area, it is determined to be non-winning.

  The combination lottery table 62 defines the types of combinations to be selected and the winning probability of each combination. The role lottery table 62 has a unique role lottery table 62 for each gaming state, that is, for each normal game (not inside), during a normal game (inside), and during a special game (in BB game and RB game). Prepare. Each combination lottery table 62 has a predetermined range of lottery areas. The lottery area is divided into a winning area and a non-winning area for each combination, and the winning combination has a predetermined winning probability. It is set to a predetermined ratio so that

For example, in the base game lottery table 62 in the normal game (non-inside), BB, RB, small part 1, small part 2, small part 3 and replay winning areas and non-winning areas are provided. In addition, the role lottery table 62 used during the normal game (inside) is that the BB and RB winning area does not exist (is a non-winning area), and the role lottery during the normal game (not inside) Different from the table 62.
Furthermore, the winning lottery table 62 used during the BB game and the RB game is provided with the winning areas and non-winning areas of the small role 1, the small role 2, and the small role 3 (special role and replay winning). There is no area), and the winning probability of the small combination 3 is set high (for example, about 1 / 1.05).

Returning to FIG.
In the game until the special combination winning means 63 is won for the special combination BB or RB until the combination of symbols corresponding to the BB or RB stops on the active line (until the BB or RB wins) , BB or RB is controlled to carry over after the next game. Although not shown, a special combination flag is provided for each type of special combination. For example, when BB is won, the special combination flag related to BB is turned on, and turned off when BB wins.

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

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

  Here, “within the range of stop control of the reel 31” means within the range of the number of symbols (the amount of rotation) of the reel 31 from the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated until the reel 31 actually stops. In this embodiment, the number of moving symbols is set to 0 to 4 (the maximum number of moving symbols is 4).

  As a result, when the symbol at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated is “0”, any of the symbols up to the number of symbols (four symbols ahead) within the stop control range of the reel 31 should be stopped on the effective line. When the symbol is a symbol, when the stop switch 42 is operated, the symbol is controlled to stop at the active line.

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

  Conversely, if the reel 31 is stopped immediately at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated, if the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination is stopped on the effective line, the reel 31 is stopped when the reel 31 is stopped. By controlling the rotational movement of the reel 31 within the range of 31 stop control, the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination is controlled so as not to stop on the effective line.

  The stop position determination table 64a determines the stop position of the symbol of the reel 31 from the lottery result of the combination by the combination lottery means 61 and the position of the reel 31 at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated. Each has the following:

First, the BB table is used in a game in which the BB is won in the game, or in a game that was won in the game before the game and was not won in the game. The combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped is determined so that the combination of symbols corresponding to is stopped on the effective line and the combination of symbols corresponding to the role other than BB is not stopped on the effective line.
The RB table is the same as the above BB table, and corresponds to a table in which “BB” in the BB table is replaced with “RB”.

In addition, the small role 1 table is used in the game won for the small role 1, and stops the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 1 within the effective line within the range of the stop control of the reel 31. The combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped is determined so that the symbol combination corresponding to the combination is not stopped on the effective line.
The small role 2 table, the small role 3 table, and the replay table are the same as the small role 1 table described above, and “small role 1” in the small role 1 table is changed to “small role 2” and “small role, respectively”. 3 ”and“ Replay ”.

  In addition, the non-winning table is used for non-winning games that do not carry over the winning of special roles, as well as non-winning games during BB and RB games, and combinations of symbols corresponding to any of the roles are valid The combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped is determined so as not to stop at the line.

  Furthermore, a special combination / small combination table and a special combination / replay table are provided as the stop position determination table 64a used inside. The special role / pocket table is used in games that have been elected as a small role during games that carry over the winning of special roles, giving priority to winning the special role (BB or RB) that has been won, If the winning combination cannot be won, the combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped is determined so that the selected winning combination (small winning combination 1 to small winning combination 3) is awarded next.

  In addition, the special role / replay table is used in games that have been won for replays during games that carry over the winning of special roles, and when priority is given to winning the replay and the replay cannot be won, In addition, the combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped is determined so that the winning special combination is won.

  Further, the reel control means 64 starts counting time when the rotation of the reel 31 is started. If the stop switch 42 is not operated even after a predetermined time, particularly 30 seconds in this embodiment, the reel 31 corresponding to the stop switch 42 not operated is controlled to automatically stop. For example, when the stop switch 42 is not operated even after 30 seconds have elapsed for all three reels 31, control is performed so that all three reels 31 are automatically stopped. Further, when the stop switch 42 is not operated even after 30 seconds have elapsed for some of the reels 31, control is performed so that the part of the reels 31 is automatically stopped.

  Furthermore, when the reel 31 is automatically stopped, the reel control means 64 controls the reel 31 to stop using the above-described non-winning table regardless of the lottery result of the combination in the game. Therefore, even if any of the winning combinations is won in the game, the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination does not stop on the active line.

The rotation value measuring means 65 measures the number of rotations of the reel 31 during the game, and measures the number of rotations of the reel 31 using the index 33 and the index detection sensor 34 described above.
When the index detection sensor 34 detects passage of the index 33, the index detection sensor 34 transmits a signal (hereinafter referred to as “index signal”) to the rotation value measuring means 65. When receiving this index signal, the rotation value measuring means 65 detects that the reel 31 has made one rotation. Based on the number of input index signals, the number of rotations of the reel 31 is measured (counted).

  Here, the measurement of the number of rotations of the reel 31 may be started immediately after the rotation of the reel 31, that is, from when it is detected that the start switch 41 is operated, but when the reel 31 enters a constant speed state. Measurement may be started when the signal is detected. When the start switch 41 is operated, the rotation of the reel 31 is started, but the reel control means 64 first reaches a predetermined speed, for example, a speed of 80 rotations per minute, through the acceleration range. Thereafter, control is performed so as to maintain the speed (set to a constant speed state).

In this case, measurement may be started from the time when the reel 31 is in the acceleration range (from the beginning), or from the time when the reel 31 is in a constant speed state (when the acceptance of the stop switch 42 is permitted). Measurement may be started.
If an index signal is input when the reel 31 is in the acceleration region, and the measurement is started from the time when the reel 31 is in the acceleration region, the rotation speed becomes “+1” by the index signal. On the other hand, when the measurement is started from the time when the reel 31 is in the constant speed state, even if the index signal is input, the count for setting the rotation speed to “+1” is not performed.

In the present embodiment, during rotation of all the reels 31, index signals relating to the left, middle, and right reels 31 are input to the rotation value measuring unit 65.
In this embodiment, the number of rotations of the reel 31 in the game is measured for the reel 31 (hereinafter referred to as “first reel”) 31 that has stopped first.

  For example, after the start switch 41 is operated, all the reels 31 start to rotate, and then the middle stop switch 42 is operated first (first), so that the middle reel 31 is in the fourth rotation (the middle reel 31). (When the index signal related to is received four times), the right reel switch 42 is operated at the sixth rotation due to the operation of the right stop switch 42, and then the left stop switch 42 is operated. It is assumed that the left reel 31 stops at the ninth rotation. In this case, the rotation number of the reel 31 in the game is measured as “4” by selecting the rotation number of the middle reel 31 related to the stop switch 42 operated first.

The measurement is ended when either a signal indicating that the stop switch 42 is operated is detected (when the reel 31 starts decelerating) or when a signal when the reel 31 is completely stopped is detected. It may be.
If an index signal is input when the reel 31 is in the deceleration region, and the measurement is performed including the deceleration region of the reel 31, the rotation speed becomes “+1” by the index signal. On the other hand, when measurement is not performed when the reel 31 is in the deceleration range, even if the index signal is input, the count for setting the rotation speed to “+1” is not performed.

The index signal is not only used for the above-described measurement of the number of rotations, but also used when the position of the reel 31 is grasped on the slot machine 10 side.
For example, it is set so that the index 33 is detected at the moment when the symbol of symbol number 0 passes the reference position (for example, the effective line L1). Thus, during the rotation of the reels 31, it is possible to know when each reel 31 has passed the reference position by inputting an index signal. Then, by counting the number of rotations (number of steps) of the motor 32 from when the reference position passes, it is possible to know which symbol number of the symbol has passed the reference position. Thus, when the stop switch 42 is operated, the reel 31 can be stopped at a predetermined position determined by the stop position determination table 64a.

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

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

The special game control means 68 controls the start of a special game (BB game or RB game), the progress of the game during the BB game and RB game, and the end of the BB game or RB game.
The special game control means 68 shifts from the normal game to the BB game when the symbol combination corresponding to BB stops on the active line.
Similarly, the special game control means 68 shifts from the normal game to the RB game when the symbol combination corresponding to the RB stops on the active line.

Furthermore, the special game control means 68 counts the number of medals paid out during the special game.
Then, the special game control means 68 determines that the BB game end condition is satisfied when it determines that the number of payouts is 466 or more (exceeds 465) in the BB game. The game is controlled so that the game is shifted from the next game to the normal game or the RT game.
Similarly, in the RB game, the special game control means 68 determines that the RB game end condition is satisfied when it determines that the payout number is 85 or more (exceeds 84), and the RB game is satisfied. And control to shift from the next game to the normal game.

The effect control means 69 controls the output of effects from the above-described effect output devices (the lamp 21, the speaker 22, and the image display device 23).
The production control means 69 selects the production pattern for each game based on the lottery result of the combination by the combination lottery means 61. Particularly in this embodiment, a plurality of types of effect patterns are provided in advance. The effect control means 69 selects one effect pattern by lottery using software random numbers after the role lottery means 61 performs the lottery.

In addition, a plurality of types of production patterns are provided according to the winning combination. For example, a plurality of types of effect patterns are provided for each special role winning, small role winning, replay winning, non-winning, and the like.
As for the production pattern, as to the progress of the game, at what timing (when the start switch 41 is operated, when each stop switch 42 is operated, etc.) what kind of production is output (how the lamp 21 is lit) And what kind of sound is output from the speaker 22, what kind of image is displayed on the image display device 23, etc.).
Then, the effect control means 69 controls to output the effect from the effect output device at a predetermined timing according to the selected effect pattern.

In particular, in the present embodiment, the effect control means 69 selects the effect patterns A1 to G2 that define the effect contents when the start switch 41 is operated after the start switch 41 is operated and the lottery is selected. FIG. 5 shows an effect pattern at this time. As shown in FIG. 5, the production patterns at the time of operating the start switch 41 are grouped according to the lottery result of the combination. When the combination of lotteries is performed, the production control means 69 selects the software from the group. One of the production patterns is selected using the wear random number. Then, the effect control means 69 controls the output of the effect according to the contents defined in the selected effect pattern. For example, in the production pattern A1, when it is determined that a special sound is output from the speaker 22 when the start switch 41 is operated, the output of the sound from the speaker 22 is controlled accordingly.
In FIG. 5, the numerical value shown in parentheses is the selection probability (%). For example, the effect pattern D1 at the time of winning the small role 1 indicates that it is selected with a probability of 50%.

  Furthermore, the effect control means 69 of the present embodiment creates an effect pattern that defines the effect contents after the operation of the first stop switch 42 (after the first reel 31 is stopped) based on the measurement result of the rotation value measuring means 65. select. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an effect pattern corresponding to the measurement result of the rotation value measuring means 65.

As shown in FIG. 6, the effect patterns are grouped for each result lottery result, as in FIG. 5, but in FIG. 6, the number of rotations from the start of rotation of the first reel 31 to the stop is shown. The production pattern is selected according to
In FIG. 6, for example, in the case of winning a small combination, if the number of rotations of the first reel 31 is within 3 rotations, any one of the effect patterns K1, K2, or K3 is selected. Note that the selection probabilities are set for the production patterns K1, K2, and K3, as in FIG.

In addition, if the number of rotations of the first reel 31 is 4 to 7 at the time of winning the small combination 1, one of the effect patterns K1, K2, or K4 is selected. Here, in FIG. 6, the selection rates of the effect patterns K1 and K2 are different from the selection rates of the effect patterns K1 and K2 whose number of rotations is within 3 rotations, but may be the same. Furthermore, when the number of rotations of the first reel 31 is 8 or more, the effect pattern K5 is selected.
In this way, the effect pattern K5 is not selected unless the number of rotations of the first reel 31 is equal to or greater than 8. Therefore, the player who wants to see the effect based on the effect pattern K5 causes the first reel 31 to rotate more than 8 times. You can see it.

In this way, even if the winning lottery results are the same, the effect pattern to be selected and the selection probability of the effect pattern are different, so that the effect contents can be varied.
Furthermore, for example, as an effect pattern selected at the time of replay winning, the effect pattern P1 is an effect pattern corresponding to “no effect”. On the other hand, the effect pattern P3 is an effect pattern for notifying the winning of the replay (for example, an effect pattern for displaying an image of “RP” which is a symbol constituting the replay on the image display device 23). When the number of rotations of the first reel 31 is within 3 rotations, the selection probability of the effect pattern P1 is set high. When the number of rotations of the first reel 31 is 8 rotations or more, the selection probability of the effect pattern P3 is It is set high.

In this way, an advanced slot machine who can roughly detect the winning combination in the game only by stopping the reel 31 stops the reel 31 relatively early from the start of rotation, so that such winning combination is notified. It is possible to omit the effect to be performed (the effect that the player does not require), and the time per game can be reduced.
On the other hand, the beginner of the slot machine can increase the frequency of the effect informing the winning combination by stopping the first reel 31 after making the first reel 31 eight or more turns.

  In addition, even in games that have been won for special roles or after games have been won, slot machine advanced players can often detect special roles when they stop (such as reach eyes). Although it is not necessary, for the beginner, by notifying the winning of the special role, it is possible to prevent the game from being stopped even though the special role is won.

  When the reel 31 is automatically stopped after the start switch 41 is operated and the first stop switch 42 is not operated (30 seconds have elapsed), as shown in FIG. Regardless, the production pattern Q1 is selected. The effect pattern Q1 is an effect pattern that may be selected when a winning combination is not won, and is an effect pattern corresponding to “no effect output”.

  Further, since the effect pattern shown in FIG. 6 defines the effect contents after the first reel 31 is stopped, when the first reel 31 is stopped (when the first stop switch 42 is operated), when the second reel 31 is stopped. (At the time of operating the second stop switch 42), at the time of stopping the third reel 31 (at the time of operating the third stop switch 42), at the time of paying out a medal at the time of winning a prize, or at least one of the effects after the payout ends.

(Second Embodiment)
Subsequently, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.
In the second embodiment, a rotation value measuring means 65 ′ is provided instead of the rotation value measuring means 65. Then, the rotation value measuring means 65 ′ measures the time during which the first reel 31 is rotating, not the number of rotations of the first reel 31. Therefore, the rotation value measuring means 65 ′ includes a timer.
FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the relationship between the measurement result of the rotation value measuring means 65 and the selected effect pattern in the second embodiment, and corresponds to FIG. 6 of the first embodiment.

  The rotation value measuring means 65 'counts a time t from when the first reel 31 starts to rotate until the rotation stops. Here, the measurement start timing of time t is determined when a signal indicating that the start switch 41 is operated (when rotation (acceleration) of the first reel 31 is started) or when the first reel 31 is at a constant speed. It may be either when the signal at the time of detection is detected. Further, the timing of the end of the measurement of the time t is when the signal indicating that the stop switch 42 corresponding to the first reel 31 is operated (when the first reel 31 starts decelerating) or when the first reel 31 is stopped. Any of the above may be used when a signal is detected when is completely stopped.

  In the second embodiment, when the time t is within 3 seconds, it is divided into three cases, when it exceeds 3 seconds and within 6 seconds, and when it exceeds 6 seconds, and an effect pattern corresponding to each time t is selected. To do. Even if it does in this way, the effect similar to 1st Embodiment can be acquired.

(Third embodiment)
The third embodiment is basically the same as the first embodiment, but includes a notification game and a non-notification game. Here, the notification game is a game for notifying a condition for selecting an effect pattern (hereinafter referred to as “premier effect pattern”) that does not usually appear (low selection rate), and is a non-notification game. Is a game that does not notify the condition. In the premier effect pattern, an appearance character that rarely appears at normal times may appear, or the winning combination may be notified by a method different from normal (for example, the winning combination may be notified by the voice of the appearing character). Further, for example, the setting value of the slot machine or information that can be used to judge or guess the setting value is notified, or the two-dimensional code is displayed as an image, and the player reads the two-dimensional code with a portable information terminal, and the two-dimensional For example, if you access the site described in the code, you can download images and voices of characters that appear.
The notification condition is a condition regarding the number of rotations or the rotation time of the reel 31. In the third embodiment, the number of rotations of the first reel 31 is stopped.

In the present embodiment, at the time of winning a small combination 1, the effect control means 69 determines whether or not to select a premier effect pattern by lottery using a software random number. And when it is decided to select a premier effect pattern, the game is set as a notification game.
For example, assuming that the winning probability of the small combination 1 is 1/64, it is determined whether or not the premier effect pattern is selected so that the small combination 1 is won at 1/10. In this way, the probability of being determined as a notification game during the game is 1/640.

In FIG. 6, the production patterns K1 to K5 and Q1 are provided as the production patterns to be selected when the small role 1 is won, but in addition to this, the production pattern K6 is provided as the premier production pattern.
And in order to select this effect pattern K6, the conditions that the 1st reel 31 rotates 10 times or more are set, for example.
When the game is determined to be a notification game, the effect control unit 69 causes the image display device 23 to “turn the first reel 31 at least 10 times” when the start switch 41 is operated. Notification of issues to the player).

Then, the rotation value measuring means 65 measures whether or not the first reel 31 has been rotated 10 times or more in the game. When it is determined that the rotation has been performed 10 times or more, the effect control unit 69 selects the effect pattern K6 and controls to output the effect according to the effect pattern K6.
On the other hand, when the first stop switch 42 is operated before the first reel 31 makes 10 revolutions or more, as in the first embodiment, any one of the production patterns K1 to K5 or Q1 is selected. One effect pattern is selected, and control is performed to output the effect according to the selected effect pattern.

  In addition, after deciding whether or not to select the production pattern K6 by lottery, it may be decided by lottery next whether or not to set the notification game. In this way, the effect pattern K6 may be selected even in a non-notification game.

FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 are flowcharts showing the flow of processing for selecting the effect pattern in the third embodiment described above.
First, in step S11, the game control means 60 continues to determine whether or not the start switch 41 has been operated. When it is determined that the start switch 41 has been operated, the process proceeds to the next step S12, where the hand lottery means 61 acquires a random number at the moment when the operation of the start switch 41 is detected, and performs a lottery of the parts.

  In step S13, based on the lottery result of the combination in step S12, the effect control means 69 selects an effect pattern for outputting an effect when the start switch 41 is operated. This selection is the same as that shown in FIG. Then, in the next step S14, the effect control means 69 controls to output an effect based on the effect pattern selected in step S13 (effect when the start switch 41 is operated).

In the next step S15, the production control means 69 determines whether or not the small combination 1 has been won in the combination lottery in step S12. When it is determined that the small role 1 has been won, the process proceeds to step S16, and when it is determined that the small role 1 has not been won, the process proceeds to step S19.
In step S16, the effect control means 69 performs a lottery on whether or not to select the effect pattern K6. When the lottery is won, the process proceeds to step S17. When the lottery is not won, the process proceeds to step S19.

  In step S17, the effect control means 69 sets the game as a notification game, and a condition for outputting an effect based on the effect pattern K6 (in the above example, “rotate the first reel 31 more than 10 times. To the player).

In the next step S18, the effect control means 69 turns on the notification flag in order to store that the game is a notification game.
In the next step S19, the reel control means 64 performs control so as to start the rotation of all the reels 31. In step S20, the reel control unit 64 sets a stop position determination table 64a corresponding to the winning combination in the game.

In the next step S21, the rotation value measuring means 65 starts measuring the number of rotations of the reel 31.
In step S22, the reel control means 64 continues to determine whether or not the first (first) stop switch 42 has been operated. And when operation of the 1st stop switch 42 is detected, it progresses to step S23 of FIG. 9, and the rotation value measurement means 65 complete | finishes the measurement of the rotation speed of the 1st reel 31. FIG. In step S24, the reel control means 64 controls to stop the first reel 31 based on the position of the first reel 31 at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated.

In the next step S25, the effect control means 69 determines whether or not the notification flag is on in the game. When it is determined that it is on, the process proceeds to step S26, and when it is determined that it is not on, the process proceeds to step S29.
In step S26, the effect control means 69 determines whether or not the condition presented to the player in step S17 ("the condition that the first reel 31 is rotated more than 10 times") is satisfied. When it is determined that it is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S27, and when it is determined that it is not satisfied, the process proceeds to step S29.

  In step S27, an effect pattern K6, that is, a premier effect pattern, is selected as an effect pattern in the game. Then, in the next step S28, control is performed so as to output an effect based on the effect pattern K6.

On the other hand, when the process proceeds from step S25 or step S26 to step S29, the effect pattern shown in FIG. 6 is selected according to the lottery result of the combination. That is, when the small role 1 is not won, the selection pattern lottery of the production pattern K6 is not won, and the condition that the first reel 31 is rotated more than 10 times is not met, Proceeding to S29, a normal effect pattern selection process is performed. And it progresses to step S30 and it controls to output an effect based on the effect pattern selected at step S29.
Although not shown in the flowchart, when the second reel 31 and the third reel 31 are stopped, the processes in steps S22 and S24 are repeated.

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

  (2) The number of rotations of the reel 31 is counted using the index 33 and the index detection sensor 34, but is not limited to this, and the number of rotations of the motor 32 can be counted only. For example, when the number of steps corresponding to 2π is counted, it may be determined that one rotation has been performed. Further, when detecting rotation by the number of steps, not only an integer but also several decimal places can be detected. For example, when detecting one digit after the decimal point, it is possible to measure more finely such as 0.1 rotation, 0.2 rotation,... Based on the number of steps.

  Alternatively, only the number of steps of the motor 32 after detecting the index 33 may be measured by the rotation value measuring means 65 without detecting the number of passes of the index 33. In this case, for example, the effect pattern 1 may be selected when the number of steps is 0 to 10, the effect pattern 2 when the number of steps is 11 to 20, and so on. Then, when the index 33 is detected next time, the measured value may be cleared (initialized).

(3) In the third embodiment, the premier performance pattern is selected on the condition that the small role 1 is won. However, the replay is not limited to the small role 1, but when the special role or other small role is won. You may set so that a premier production pattern may be selected at the time of winning or not winning.
It is also possible to select a premier performance pattern that does not depend on the result lottery result. In this case, for example, it is set to win every game, with a probability of 1/1000 (when winning, select a premier effect pattern and notify).

(4) In the first embodiment, for example, when the number of rotations of the first reel 31 becomes 8 or more, the measurement of the number of rotations of the reel 31 may be continued, but may be stopped at that time. .
(5) In the third embodiment, the presented conditions are not limited to those relating to the first reel 31 but may be those relating to the second reel 31 or the third reel 31. In addition, a condition extending over a plurality of reels 31 may be presented. For example, there is a condition that “the second reel 31 should be stopped within 2 seconds (or within 3 rotations) after the first reel 31 is stopped”.

  (6) In the above embodiment, the effect pattern is selected based on the rotation speed or rotation time of the first reel 31. However, the rotation speed or rotation time of the plurality of reels 31 (for example, the first reel 31 and the third reel 31). May be measured, and an effect pattern may be selected based on the sum of the values (calculated value). That is, instead of selecting the effect pattern from the measured value itself, the effect pattern may be selected from a value obtained by calculating the measured number of rotations or rotation time. Further, the measurement is not limited to one game, and for example, an effect pattern may be selected based on the total number of rotations or rotation times of a predetermined reel 31 of the game and the immediately preceding number of games.

  (7) In the present embodiment, the rotation value measuring means 65 counts the number of rotations (or rotation time) from when the start switch 41 is operated or when the rotation of the reel 31 reaches a constant speed. Not limited to this, after 1 second has elapsed since the start switch 41 was operated, or after 0.5 seconds had elapsed since the rotation of the reel 31 reached a constant speed (when the stop switch 42 was started to be received), Counting may be started. That is, the rotation value measuring means 65 may measure from any point in time to any point as long as it measures the value in the “predetermined period”.

  (8) As shown in FIG. 4, the symbol corresponding to the left reel 31 of the small role 1 is “cherry”. When the symbol “cherry” is not arranged within the interval of 5 symbols or less (within the range of the stop control of the reel 31) for the left reel 31, At the time of stopping, it is necessary to push the eye (operating the stop switch 42 so that the symbol stops on the effective line).

  In this case, a condition that makes it difficult for the reel 31 that needs to be pushed (for example, a condition that “the left reel 31 should be stopped within two rotations” for the left reel 31 when winning the small role 1). ), The player may not be able to perform the correct push. Therefore, in this case, conditions may be set for the middle reel 31 and the right reel 31 that do not require pressing. However, in the case where it is desired to show a premier effect only to a player with a high skill level, it is needless to say that conditions may be set for the left reel 31 when winning a small role as described above.

  In addition, when the symbol “Bell” related to the small role 3 and the symbol “RP” related to the replay are arranged at intervals of 5 symbols or less on all the reels 31, the condition is notified at the time of winning the small role 3 or the replay. If the condition is notified when the winning combination is not won, no matter which reel 31 is set, the winning of the winning combination will not be affected.

  (9) In the present embodiment, the effect after the first reel 31 of the game is selected based on the number of rotations and the rotation time of the reel 31. However, the present invention is not limited to this. You may choose. In this way, it is possible to select an effect when the start switch 41 of the next game is operated (at the start of the game) based on the rotation speed or rotation time of the reel 31 in the game.

  (10) In the present embodiment, the rotation value measuring means 65 is one of the game control means 60. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the reel control means 64 may include a rotation value measuring means. The effect control unit 69 may include a rotation value measuring unit.

It is a block diagram which shows the outline of control of the slot machine in this embodiment. It is a figure which shows the relationship between the display window provided in the front mask part of the slot machine, and a reel. It is a front view which shows a part of reel unit, and is illustrated so that the inside of a reel can be seen.
