Description

  The present invention relates to a slot machine that outputs an effect as to whether or not a special role is won so that a player is not detected as much as possible whether or not the special role is won.

  In the conventional slot machine, there is known a slot machine that outputs an effect as to whether or not a special role has been won and presets a winning expectation (reliability) according to the effect ( For example, see Patent Document 1).

  Further, there is known a slot machine that carries over the winning of a special combination and releases the special combination that has won the winning combination (when it is controlled so as to be able to win a prize) when a predetermined condition is satisfied (for example, Patent Document 2). reference.).

JP 2001-000627 A JP 2005-334522 A

  However, in the technique of the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, at the time of outputting the effect indicating whether or not the special role is won, since it is already determined whether or not the special role is won, it corresponds to the special role. There is a problem that if the player is determined whether or not the combination of symbols stops on the active line, the presence / absence of winning is immediately known.

  On the other hand, if the effect is output before the special role is released as in the technique of Patent Document 2, it is possible to output an effect that does not indicate whether or not the special role release lottery is won. However, there is a tendency that it is not preferable that the player cannot win the special role unless the release condition is satisfied even though the player has won the special role.

  Therefore, the problem to be solved by the present invention is to output an effect indicating whether or not a special combination is won without stocking the selected special combination without being stocked by the player.

The present invention solves the above-described problems by the following means.
In the invention of claim 1, a special role for causing a player to play a special game, a replay for causing a player to replay, and a winning probability of the replay are set higher than before. A slot machine having an RT game operating role for transitioning to an RT game, wherein the special role and the RT game operating role are overlapped winning areas, the replay winning area, and the RT game operating role is independently won A first combination lottery table having an area, and the winning probability of the replay is set to a value higher than the winning probability of the replay of the first combination lottery table, and the specific combination is set to the winning probability X1, The second role lottery table used in the RT game and the winning probability of the replay are set higher than the winning probability of the replay of the first role lottery table. And the third combination lottery table used in the RT game, wherein the specific combination is set to the winning probability X2 (X2 ≠ X1), and the first combination lottery table is used. On the condition that the special combination and the RT game actuating combination are won simultaneously, the game shifts from the next game to the RT game using the second combination lottery table and the first combination lottery table is used. On the condition that the RT game actuator is elected alone and the RT game actuator wins, the game shifts from the next game to the RT game using the third role lottery table, and during the RT game, According to the present invention, there is provided an effect control means for outputting an effect indicating the winning reliability of the special role in accordance with the winning / non-winning of the special role.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the slot machine according to the first aspect, the RT game using the second combination lottery table continues until the special combination wins, and the RT using the third combination lottery table The game is performed a predetermined number of times, and the production control means that the special role is won or won by the special role, and the special role is won or not. It is characterized by outputting the production of.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the slot machine according to the first or second aspect, the specific combination is a combination for causing the player to replay, and a combination of symbols corresponding to the replay. It is characterized in that the combination is set to a combination of different symbols.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the slot machine according to any one of the first to third aspects, the RT game operating role is a role for causing a player to replay, The combination is set to a combination of symbols different from the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay.

  According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in the slot machine according to any one of the first to fourth aspects, the RT game actuating role and the specific role are roles for causing a player to replay. And it is set to the combination of the same design, It is characterized by the above-mentioned.

  According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, in the slot machine according to any one of the first to fifth aspects, the special combination includes a first special combination and a second special combination, and the first special combination The profit obtained by the player in the first special game to be transferred by winning the prize is different from the profit to be obtained by the player in the second special game to be transferred by winning the second special role. The table has an overlapping winning area for the first special combination and the RT game operating combination, and an overlapping winning area for the second special combination and the RT gaming operating combination.

  According to a seventh aspect of the present invention, in the slot machine of the sixth aspect, the second combination lottery table is used from the next game when the first special combination and the RT game actuating combination are won, and the specific game The winning combination probability is set to X11, and the second combination lottery table A is used from the next game when the second special combination and the RT game actuating combination are won, and the winning probability of the specific combination is X12 ( And a second combination lottery table B set such that X12 ≠ X11).

(Function)
In the above-described invention, the first combination lottery table is provided with the overlapping winning area for the special combination and the RT game operating combination and the single winning area for the RT gaming operation combination. Then, when the special combination and the RT game actuating combination are won simultaneously, the next game shifts to the RT game using the second combination lottery table in which the winning probability of the replay is high and the specific combination is set to the winning probability X1. . On the other hand, when the RT game operating combination is won alone and won, the next game shifts to RT game using the third combination lottery table in which the winning probability of replay is high and the specific combination is set to the winning probability X2.

Then, during the RT game in which the second combination lottery table or the third combination lottery table is used, an effect indicating the winning reliability of the special combination is output.
Accordingly, during the RT game, the replay is won with a high probability, so that the chance of winning the special role is reduced. Therefore, it is possible to give an expectation to the player whether or not the special role is won during the RT game. Furthermore, the expectation whether or not the special role is won can be varied according to the winning / winning frequency of the specific role.

(Relationship between the above solution and the embodiment)
In the following embodiment, the RT game operating combination and the specific combination correspond to rare replay, the first combination lottery table corresponds to the combination lottery table 62A, and the second combination lottery table has a replay winning probability of 1 /. The winning lottery table 62B or 62C is set to 4 and the winning probability of rare replay (specific role) is set to 1/6 or 1/8 (X1). The third combination lottery table is a combination lottery table 62D in which the winning probability of replay is set to 1/4 and the winning probability of rare replay (specific role) is set to 1/12 (X2). .

In the embodiment, the RT game using the third combination lottery table (the combination lottery table 62D) performs ten games that are a predetermined number of games.
Furthermore, the rare replay that is the RT game actuating role and the specific role is a role for causing the player to replay, and a combination of symbols corresponding to the replay (“R”-“R”-“R” ) And a different symbol combination ("R"-"R"-"Bell").

  Further, when the first special role is SBB and the second special role is NBB (or RB), the first special game is equivalent to the SBB game, and the second special game is the NBB game (or RB game). Equivalent to.

  Furthermore, in the embodiment, there are three types of special roles, SBB, NBB, and RB. In the combination lottery table 62B used from the next game won by the SBB, the winning probability of the specific combination (rare replay) is 1 / In the combination lottery table 62C used from the next game won by NBB or RB, the winning probability of the specific combination (rare replay) is 1/8 (X12).

  According to the present invention, it is shifted to RT game according to the winning / non-winning of the special role, and the winning probability of the replay is changed to a high game (a game with fewer winning opportunities for the special role than usual). Without stocking the winning, it is possible to output the effect of whether or not the special role is won so that the player is not perceived as much as possible.

RAM etc. which memorize | store the data etc. which were taken in are temporarily stored.

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

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

(Motor, reel)
Peripheral devices such as the motor 32 described below are electrically connected to the output side (right side in FIG. 1) of the game control means 60.
The motor 32 is for rotating the reel 31, is connected to the center of rotation of the reel 31, and is controlled by the game control means 60.
The reel 31 has a ring shape, and a reel tape on which a plurality of types of symbols (such as symbols constituting a combination of symbols corresponding to a combination) is attached is attached to an outer peripheral surface thereof.

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

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

(Lamp, speaker, image display device)
Furthermore, the output side of the game control means 60 is electrically connected to effect output devices such as the lamp 21, the speaker 22, and the image display device 23.

  The lamps 21 are effects lamps for the slot machine 10 and are turned on in a predetermined pattern when predetermined conditions are satisfied. The lamp 21 includes a back lamp (not shown) arranged on the inner peripheral side of each reel 31, an upper lamp and a side lamp which are arranged on the front surface of the casing of the slot machine 10 and blink when a winning combination is made. A lamp (not shown) and the like are included.

Furthermore, the image display device 23 includes a liquid crystal image display device, a dot display, and the like, and displays various effect images, predetermined information, and the like during the game.

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

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

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

  The number of medals inserted in one game can be selected by the player from one to three. When the number of medals inserted is 1, the horizontal symbol combination line (one line) is set as an effective line, and the remaining four symbol combination lines are set as invalid lines. When the number of inserted medals is 2, the horizontal, middle, upper and lower symbol combination lines (total of three) are set as valid lines, and the other two symbol combination lines are set as invalid lines. The Furthermore, when the number of inserted medals is 3, all the symbol combination lines (a total of 5) are set as valid lines and there are no invalid lines.

(Role)
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing combinations of combinations of types (combinations drawn by the combination lottery means 61 described later), the number of payouts, and the like in this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2, the roles include special roles BB (SBB (Super Big Bonus), NBB (Normal Big Bonus)) and RB (Regular Bonus), Small Roles 1 and 2 , Replays, rare replays, and RB game transition roles are provided.

The special role is a role that shifts from a normal game to a special game (a game that can be expected to win medals more than a normal game and is advantageous to the player). In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, BB (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. Furthermore, two types of SBB and NBB are provided in the BB. The SBB is a role for shifting to an SBB game, and the NBB is a role for shifting to an NBB game. In the following description, “BB” is used to mean that both SBB and NBB are included.
Another special combination is SB (single bonus), which is not provided in this embodiment.

Furthermore, a small combination is a combination in which a predetermined number of medals are paid out. In this embodiment, two types of small combination 1 and small combination 2 are provided. The combination of symbols and the number of payouts at the time of winning are set differently for each small role. Note that “any” in the small part 1 means that any symbol may be used.
Furthermore, the replay is a replaying role that enables a replaying game in which the number of medals inserted in the game is maintained.

A rare replay (an RT game actuating role and a role corresponding to a specific role in the present invention) is a replaying role similar to a replaying, so that a replay can be performed while maintaining the number of medals inserted in the game. This is a role for executing the RT game from the next game when winning in the normal game (non-inside).
Further, the RB game transition combination is a combination that is drawn in the BB general game, and when the RB game transition combination wins, the RB game is executed from the next game.

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 the special combination is won, in the game until the combination of symbols corresponding to the special combination stops on the active line when the reel 31 is stopped, the special combination is controlled to be carried over from the next game onward.

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

  A game in which a special role is not won (a game in which a special role is not carried over) is referred to as “non-inside”. In addition, the combination of symbols corresponding to the selected special combination is not stopped on the active line (not winning) in the game (the special combination is selected) The game that is carried over) is called “inside”.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, combinations of symbols of the reel 31 corresponding to the various types of roles described above are determined in advance. 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 the present embodiment, the replay and the rare replay are common in terms of the re-playing combination, but are set so that the combination of symbols is different.

  At the start of the game, the player operates the bet switch 40 to insert a previously stored medal, or inserts a medal from the medal insertion slot, and turns on the start switch 41. When the start switch 41 is operated, a valid line is determined and a signal generated at that time is input to the game control means 60. When the game control means 60 (specifically, the reel control means 65 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 at a predetermined speed.

  Then, the player presses each stop switch 42 to stop the rotation of each reel 31. When the stop switch 42 is operated, a signal generated at that time is input to the game control means 60. When the game control means 60 (specifically, the reel control means 65 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.

The game control means 60 includes the following part lottery means 61 and the like. The following means in the present embodiment are examples, and the game control means 60 is not limited to the means shown in the present embodiment.
(Role lottery means)
The role lottery means 61 performs lottery of a role (the special role, the small role, the replay, the rare replay, and the RB game transition role 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 slot machine 10 is powered on. .

  The random number extracting means extracts the random number generated by the random number generating means at a predetermined time, in this embodiment, when the start switch 41 is turned on by the player. The determination unit determines the combination corresponding to the region to which the random number value belongs by comparing the random number value extracted by the random number extraction unit with a combination lottery table 62 described later. For example, if the extracted random number value belongs to the small role 1 winning area, it is determined that the small role 1 is selected, and if it belongs to the non-winning area, it is determined to be non-winning.

(Role drawing table)
The combination lottery table 62 defines the types of combinations to be selected and the winning probability of each combination. Further, the role lottery table 62 has a unique role for each gaming state (during normal gaming (not inside), during the first RT game, during the second RT game, during the third RT game, during the BB general game, during the RB game). A lottery table 62 is provided.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing these combination lottery tables 62. In FIG. 3, the value shown in parentheses means the winning probability.
In FIG. 3, the combination lottery table 62 </ b> A is a combination lottery table 62 used during non-inside of normal games. In the combination lottery table 62A, all the special combinations (BB (SBB and NBB) and RB) are set to be duplicated with the rare replay.

  Furthermore, the winning lottery table 62B is the winning lottery table 62 used during the first RT game, and the winning probability of replay is set to 1/4 and the winning probability of rare replay is set to 1/6. Further, compared with the combination lottery table 62A, there is no BB and RB winning area (overlapping winning area with rare replay) of the combination lottery table 62A.

Furthermore, the role lottery table 62C is a role lottery table 62 used during the second RT game, and the winning probability of replay is set to ¼ the same as that of the role lottery table 62B, but the winning probability of rare replay is the role. It is set to 1/8 which is slightly lower than the lottery table 62B. Further, compared with the combination lottery table 62A, there is no BB and RB winning area (overlapping winning area with the Ray Ali play) of the combination lottery table 62A.
The role lottery table 62D is a role lottery table 62 used during the third RT game. The winning probability of replay is set to ¼ the same as that of the role lottery table 62B, but the winning probability of rare replay is the role. It is set to 1/12 lower than the lottery table 62C.

Furthermore, the combination lottery table 62E is a combination lottery table 62 used during the BB general game. In addition to the small combination 1 and the small combination 2, a winning area for the RB game transition combination is provided.
The role lottery table 62F is a role lottery table 62 used during the RB game, and only the winning areas of the small role 1 and the small role 2 are provided.

  As described above, each combination lottery table 62 has a predetermined range of lottery areas. The lottery area is divided into a winning area and a non-winning area for each combination. It is set to a predetermined ratio so as to have a winning probability set in advance.

  If the winning combination of SBB and Rare Replay is won during a game in which the winning lottery table 62A is used, the game in which the winning lottery table 62B is used (first RT game (SBB) until the winning SBB wins after the next game. Inside game)). When the winning SBB wins during the game in which the role lottery table 62B is used, the BB general game of the SBB game is started from the next game, and the role lottery table 62E is used. When the RB game transition combination wins during the BB general game, the next game is changed to the RB game, and the combination lottery table 62F is used.

  Similarly to the above, if the NBB and the rare replay are won in the game in which the winning lottery table 62A is used, the game in which the winning lottery table 62C is used until the winning NBB wins after the next game ( Second RT game (game inside NBB)). When the winning NBB wins during the game in which the role lottery table 62C is used, the BB general game of the NBB game starts from the next game, and the role lottery table 62E is used. When the RB game transition combination wins during the BB general game, the next game is changed to the RB game, and the combination lottery table 62F is used.

  In addition, if the winning combination of the RB and the rare replay is made during the game in which the winning lottery table 62A is used, the game in which the winning lottery table 62C is used until the winning RB wins after the next game (second RT game). (Game inside RB)). When a winning RB wins during a game in which the combination lottery table 62C is used, the RB game is executed from the next game, and the combination lottery table 62F is used.

(Means to carry over special roles)
The special combination winning means 63 is a game until the combination of symbols corresponding to the selected special combination stops on the active line when the special combination (BB and RB) is won (until the selected special combination wins) In this case, the winning of the special role is controlled to be carried over after the next game.
As described above, SBB, NBB, and RB and rare replay are won, and in the game, rare replay wins, so SBB, NBB, and RB do not win. And if it transfers to RT game, the winning of SBB, NBB, and RB will be carried over until SBB, NBB, and RB win.

(Game state control means)
The gaming state control means 64 controls whether the gaming state is a normal gaming state or an RT gaming state.
Here, the RT game of the present embodiment includes a first RT game, a second RT game, and a third RT game. The RT game means a game having a higher replay win probability than a normal game.
First, the first RT game is an RT game that is executed from the next game when the SBB is won in the normal game (overlapping in SBB and rare replay). In the first RT game, the lottery of the combination is performed using the combination lottery table 62B.

In addition, the second RT game is an RT game that is executed from the next game when the NBB or RB is won (overlapping in the NBB and the rare replay, or duplicated in the RB and the rare replay) during the normal game. is there. In the 2nd RT game, the lottery of the combination is performed using the combination lottery table 62C.
Furthermore, in the 3rd RT game, when a rare play is won independently during a normal game and a rare play is won ("R"-"R"-"Bell", which is a combination of rare play symbols, stops at the active line. The RT game is executed from the next game.

Furthermore, the gaming state control means 64 includes an RT flag 64a. The RT flag 64a is a flag that is referred to for determining whether or not the game is an RT game. The first RT flag 64a related to the first RT game, the second RT flag 64a related to the second RT game, and the third RT A third RT flag 64a related to the game is provided.
When the first RT game is executed, the first RT flag 64a is turned on, and at the end of the first RT game, the first RT flag 64a is turned off. The same applies to the second RT flag 64a and the third RT flag 64a.

In the present embodiment, the first RT game end condition is set for winning the winning SBB, and the second RT game end condition is set for winning the NBB or RB winning. Yes.
Furthermore, the end condition of the third RT game is set to be that the third RT game is continuously executed for 10 games.
Therefore, the game state control means 64 includes RT game number counting means 64b.
The RT game number counting means 64b counts each game and the number of games when an RT game is being played.
Then, when the number of games in the third RT game becomes 10 games or more, the game state control means 64 determines that the third RT game end condition is satisfied, turns off the third RT flag 64a, and sets the game state to the normal game. Control to shift to.
Further, when the number of games of the first RT game or the second RT game becomes 10 games or more, as described later, an effect (result display or final effect) indicating that the special role is won is performed.

(Reel control means)
First, the reel control means 65 controls to start rotation of all (three) reels 31 when the start switch 41 is operated. Further, the reel control means 65 determines a stop position determination table, which will be described later, based on the lottery result of the winning combination by the winning lottery means 61 when the stop switch 42 is operated and the timing when the stop switch 42 is operated. 66, the stop position of the reel 31 corresponding to the stop switch 42 is determined, and the motor 32 is driven and controlled to stop the reel 31 at the determined position.

  For example, in the game in which the winning combination is won, the reel control means 65 controls the stop of 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 and the winning is made. The reel 31 is controlled to stop so that a combination of symbols corresponding to a combination other than the combination is not stopped on the effective line.

  Here, “within the range of stop control of the reel 31” means within the range of the amount of rotation of the reel 31 (the number of movements of the symbol) from the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated until the reel 31 actually stops. In the present embodiment, the number of symbols is set within 5 symbols including the symbol at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated. In other words, it means within the range of the stop control time of the reel 31, that is, the time from the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated until the reel 31 actually stops. In this embodiment, the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated. Within 190 ms.

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

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

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

(Stop position determination table)
The stop position determination table 66 defines the symbol stop position 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.
In the present embodiment, the following types of stop position determination table 66 are provided.
(1) SBB table The SBB table is used on condition that the SBB is won in the game before the game and is not won in the game, and the reel 31 is stopped so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the SBB is stopped. The stop position is determined. Furthermore, when the symbol combination corresponding to the SBB cannot be stopped on the effective line, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination that does not win is not stopped on the effective line. .

(2) NBB table The NBB table is a stop position determination table that is used on condition that the NBB is won in the game before the game and is not won in the game. In the above (1), “SBB” Is replaced with “NBB”.
(3) RB table The RB table is a stop position determination table used on condition that the RB is won in the game before the game and is not won in the game. In the above (1), “SBB” Is replaced with “RB”.

(4) Small role 1 table The small role 1 table is used in a game when the small role 1 is won in a game that does not carry over the special role, and corresponds to the small role 1 within the range of stop control of the reel 31. The combination of symbols at the time of stopping the reel 31 is determined so that the combination of symbols corresponding to a combination other than the small combination 1 is not stopped on the effective line.

(5) Small role 2 table The small role 2 table is used in the game at the time of winning the small role 2 in a game that does not carry over the special role winning. It is equivalent to what is read as "."
(6) Replay table The replay table is used in the game at the time of winning the replay in the game that does not carry over the special role winning. In (4) above, “small role 1” is replaced with “replay”. Equivalent to.

(7) Rare Play Table The Real Play Table is used in the game at the time of winning the rare play in the game that does not carry over the special role winning. In (4) above, “small role 1” is read as “rare play”. It corresponds to that.
(8) RB game transition combination table The RB game transition combination table is used in a game at the time of winning the RB game transition combination in the BB general game, and has a pattern corresponding to the RB game transition combination within the range of stop control of the reel 31. The combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped is determined so that the combination is stopped on the effective line and the combination of symbols corresponding to the role other than the RB game transition combination is not stopped on the effective line.

(9) SBB priority SBB / pocket 1 table The SBB priority SBB / pocket 1 table is used in the game at the time of winning the small role 1 in the game carrying over the winning of SBB. The stop positions of the reels 31 are determined so as to stop the symbols corresponding to the respective combinations. That is, first, control is performed so that the combination of symbols corresponding to SBB stops on the effective line, but when the combination of symbols corresponding to SBB cannot be stopped on the effective line, next, it corresponds to small role 1 The combination of symbols to be controlled is controlled to stop at the active line. Next, when the symbol combination corresponding to the small combination 1 cannot be stopped on the effective line, the stop position of the reel 31 is set so that the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination is not stopped on the effective line. It has established.

(10) SBB priority SBB / pocket 2 table The SBB priority BB / pocket 2 table is used in the game at the time of winning the small role 2 in the game carrying over the winning of SBB. 1 ”is replaced with“ small role 2 ”.

(11) Rare Play Priority SBB / Rare Replay Table The Real Play Priority SBB / Rare Replay Table is a game at the time of winning a duplicate of SBB and a rare replay, and a game at the time of winning a rare play in a game that has been overtaken by SBB. Used, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so as to stop the symbol of the corresponding role in the priority order of the real replay and the SBB. That is, first, control is performed so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the rare replay is stopped on the effective line, but when the combination of symbols corresponding to the rare replay cannot be stopped on the effective line, the next step is to correspond to the SBB. The combination of symbols to be controlled is controlled to stop at the active line. When the symbol combination corresponding to the SBB cannot be stopped on the effective line, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination that does not win is not stopped on the effective line.

(12) Replay priority SBB / replay table The replay priority SBB / replay table is used in the game at the time of the replay winning in the game carrying over the winning of the SBB. The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so as to be stopped. That is, first, control is performed so that the symbol combination corresponding to replay stops on the effective line, but when the symbol combination corresponding to replay cannot be stopped on the effective line, next, the symbol corresponding to SBB is controlled. Is controlled to stop at the active line. When the symbol combination corresponding to the SBB cannot be stopped on the effective line, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination that does not win is not stopped on the effective line.

(13) NBB-priority NBB / Pocket 1 table The NBB-priority NBB / Pocket 1 table is used in the game at the time of winning the small role 1 in the game carrying over the winning of the NBB. "Is replaced with" NBB ".
(14) NBB-priority NBB / Pocket 2 table The NBB-priority NBB / Pocket 2 table is used in the game at the time of winning the small role 2 in the game that has been overtaken by the NBB. Is replaced with “NBB” and “small role 1” is replaced with “small role 2”.
It corresponds to that.
(15) Rare Replay Priority NBB / Rare Replay Table The Real Play Priority NBB / Rare Replay Table is a game when a NBB and a rare replay are won, and a game when a rare replay is won in a game that has been overtaken by a NBB. This corresponds to the one obtained by replacing “SBB” with “NBB” in (11) above.

(16) Replay priority NBB / replay table The replay priority NBB / replay table is used in the game at the time of the replay winning in the game carrying over the winning of the NBB. In the above (12), “SBB” is changed to “NBB”. It corresponds to what has been replaced.
(17) RB Priority RB / Pocket 1 Table The RB Priority RB / Pocket 1 table is used in the game of winning the RB in the game where the winning RB is carried over. "Is replaced with" RB ".

(18) The RB priority RB / pocket 2 table The RB priority RB / pocket 2 table is used in the game at the time of winning the small role 2 in the game carrying over the winning of the RB. Is replaced with “RB” and “small role 1” is replaced with “small role 2”.
(19) Rare Replay Priority RB / Rare Replay Table The Real Replay Priority RB / Rare Replay Table is a game at the time of the rare replay win in the game when the RB and the rare replay are overlapped, and the game carrying over the RB win. Used in (11) above, which corresponds to “SBB” replaced with “RB”.

(20) Replay priority RB / replay table The replay priority RB / replay table is used in the game at the time of the replay winning in the game carrying over the winning of the RB. In the above (12), “SBB” is changed to “RB”. It corresponds to what has been replaced.
(21) Non-Winning Table The non-winning table is used in a game when a non-winning role has not been carried over to the special role, so that the combination of symbols corresponding to any role will not stop on the active line. 31 is a combination of symbols at the time of stopping.

Next, the relationship between the symbol arrangement on the reel 31 and the stop control of the reel 31 in this embodiment will be described.
FIG. 4 is a plan view showing a symbol arrangement on the outer peripheral surface of each reel 31 in the present embodiment. In FIG. 4, only the symbols “R” and “Bell” are shown, but a predetermined symbol is also displayed in a blank part in the drawing, and the illustration is omitted in FIG. 4. ing.
As shown in FIG. 4, all the symbols “R” are arranged on each reel 31 at intervals of 5 symbols or less. Therefore, symbols “R” are arranged on the reel 31 at intervals within the range of stop control of the reel 31 (within 5 symbols including the symbol at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated). Similarly, all the symbols of “bell” are arranged at intervals within 5 symbols. Therefore, the symbol “bell” is arranged on the reel 31 within the range of the stop control of the reel 31. Thus, for the symbols “R” and “Bell”, the symbols “R” and “Bell” are always displayed on the desired effective line regardless of the position of the reel 31 at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated. Can be controlled to stop.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the small combination 2 table, the replay table, the real replay table, and the RB game transition combination table are used, the small combination 2, the replay composed of the symbols “R” and “Bell” are used. , Rare play, RB game transition combination always wins.
In addition, when the replay priority SBB / replay table, replay priority NBB / replay table, and replay priority RB / replay table are used, the replay win is given priority, but since the replay always wins, SBB, NBB, RB Will never win.
Similarly, when a rare replay priority SBB / rare replay table, a rare replay priority NBB / rare replay table, or a rare replay priority RB / rare play table is used, the rare replay winning is given priority, but the rare replay is always performed. Since winning, SBB, NBB, RB will not win.
As well

  Similarly, when a rare replay priority SBB / rare replay table, rare replay priority NBB / rare replay table, or rare replay priority RB / rare play table is used, the rare replay win is given priority, but always rare replay. Will win, so SBB, NBB, and RB will never win.

(Stop symbol judging means)
The stop symbol determining means 67 determines whether or not the symbol combination of the reel 31 stopped on the active line matches the symbol combination corresponding to any combination when the reel 31 is stopped. The stop symbol determination means 67 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 stop symbol determining means 67 does not determine the symbol combination after the reels 31 are actually stopped, but the reel 31 is controlled by the stop control table 65 from the position of the reel 31 at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated. It is also possible to determine the combination of symbols on the active line when the stop position is determined.

(Payment means)
The payout means 68 determines that the combination of symbols stopped on the active line when the reel 31 is stopped matches the combination of symbols corresponding to one of the combinations, and the winning combination is awarded 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, rare replay, and rare replay winning, control is performed so that the number of medals inserted in the game is automatically inserted without paying out medals.

(Special game control means)
The special game control means 69 starts a special game (SBB game, NBB game, and RB game) (transition from normal game to special game), progress of a game during special game, and end of special game (from special game to normal game). Transition to a game) and the like.

  The special game control means 69 shifts from the normal game to the SBB game when the symbol combination corresponding to the SBB stops on the active line, and when the specific symbol combination corresponding to the NBB stops on the active line, Transition from games to NBB games. Further, when the combination of specific symbols corresponding to RB stops on the active line, the game is shifted from the normal game to the RB game.

First, during a normal game, when a combination of symbols corresponding to SBB or NBB is stopped on the active line, SBB or NBB is won respectively, and SBB game or NBB game is started from the next game, respectively.
In the SBB game and the NBB game, the BB general game is played first. In the BB general game, the lottery of the combination is performed using the combination lottery table 62E. When the RB game transition combination is won and won during the BB general game, an RB game is performed from the next game.

  Each of the RB games is a game that is executed until the number of winning a winning combination reaches 8 times or until the number of games reaches 12 times. During the RB game, the special game control means 69 counts the number of winning winnings and the number of games of the winning combination, and if either one is satisfied, the RB game is terminated, and control is performed so as to shift to the BB general game again. To do. As described above, in the SBB game and the NBB game, the BB general game and the RB game are repeated.

  In the present embodiment, the SBB game end condition is set such that the number of medals paid out during the SBB game is 448 or more. On the other hand, in the NBB game, the number of medals paid out during the BB game is set to be 384 or more.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the special game control means 69 counts the number of medals paid out during the SBB game and the NBB game, and continues to update the number of medals paid out for each game.
When the special game control means 69 determines that the counted number of payouts is 448 or more in the SBB game, the special game control means 69 determines that the SBB game end condition is satisfied, and returns to the normal game after the next game. To control. Similarly, in the NBB game, the special game control means 69 determines that the NBB game end condition is satisfied when it is determined that the counted number of payouts is 384 or more, and returns to the normal game after the next game. To control.

  Further, the special game control means 69 controls to shift to the RB game on the condition that the combination of symbols corresponding to the RB stops on the active line, that is, the RB wins. The RB game is a game that is executed until the number of winning combinations reaches 8 or until the number of games reaches 12. During the RB game, the special game control means 69 counts the number of winning combinations and the number of games of the winning combination, and if either one is satisfied, the special game control means 69 controls to end the RB game and shift to the normal game.

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

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

Furthermore, the effect control means 70 of this embodiment outputs the effect which shows the winning reliability of a special role according to the winning / non-winning of a special role during RT game.
For example, there are three types of productions, production A means that the possibility of winning a special role is high (high reliability of winning), and the possibility of winning a special role is moderate (winning trust) An effect B meaning that the degree is medium) and an effect C meaning that the possibility of winning the special role is low (the winning reliability is low).

  Then, when SBB and Rare Replay are both won and the Rare Replay wins and shifts to the 1st RT game, in the 1st RT game, Production A is 60%, Production B is 30%, Production C is 10 Select any one with a probability of% and output the effect. In addition, when the NBB or RB and the rare replay are won and the rare replay wins and the game shifts to the second RT game, the production B is 60%, the production A is 30%, and the production C is in the second RT game. Is selected with a probability of 10%, and the effect is output.

Furthermore, when the rare play is won by winning the rare play alone and the game is shifted to the 3rd RT game, the production C is 60%, the production B is 30%, and the production A is 10%. Select one of the probabilities and output the effect.
If it does in this way, according to SBB winning, NBB winning, RB winning, and non-winning, the production which shows the winning reliability of a special role by probability can be outputted.
The production A, the production B, and the production C may output a predetermined production, but each production is a different production (determined by lottery), a production continuous over several games, and the like. May be.

Further, in the first RT game or the second RT game, the effect control means 70 outputs the effect until 10 games (when SBB, NBB, or RB won before 10 games wins) Continue. When shifting to the first RT game or the second RT game, the replay or the rare replay wins when the replay or the rare replay is won. Therefore, in the game, the winning SBB, NBB, or RB cannot be won.
The winning SBB, NBB, or RB can be won when the role is not won or when the small role 1 or 2 is selected (however, the SBB, NBB, or RB does not necessarily win) .
And if the winning SBB, NBB or RB is not won and the first RT game or the second RT game becomes the 10th game, after winning the SBB, NBB or RB Control is performed so as to output an effect (result display effect).

On the other hand, in the third RT game, the effect control means 70 continues to output a continuous effect for 10 games. In the 10th game, an effect indicating that the special combination is not won is output.
As described above, in the present embodiment, when the special role and the rare replay are won simultaneously, or when the rare replay is won alone, the selected rare replay wins, and from the next game, the first RT game, the second RT game, Alternatively, the third RT game is executed. Here, both the special winning combination and the rare replay are won, and when the rare replay is won alone, the rare replay wins the game. Furthermore, even if the game is shifted to the RT game, it is not known whether the game is the first RT game, the second RT game, or the third RT game. The player will infer from the effect output in the RT game whether the player is SBB winning, NBB winning, RB winning or non-winning.

  Furthermore, during the RT game, the winning of the rare replay and the winning rate differ depending on the first RT game, the second RT game, or the third RT game. As shown in FIG. 3, in the first RT game, the chance of winning the rare replay is 1/6, in the second RT game, the winning probability of the rare replay is 1/8, and in the third RT game, the rare probability is rare. The replay winning probability is 1/12. Therefore, during RT games, the higher the rare replay winning / winning rate, the higher the expectation of winning the special role (if the rare replay winning / winning rate is higher, the winning of SBB is more advantageous than NBB or RB) Because expectations are rising).

  In addition, during RT games, the winning / winning rate of replay or rare replay is high, so there are fewer opportunities to win the special role that is won even in the first RT game or the second RT game. As a result, it is possible to output an effect indicating whether or not the special combination is won over a plurality of games.

  When an effect that is not won in the special role is output in the tenth game, the player knows that the previous RT game was the third RT game. On the other hand, when SBB, NBB, or RB wins by 10 games, or when SBB, NBB, or RB wins by 10 games and a result display effect is output, Will know that the game so far was the first RT game or the second RT game.

Next, a game flow in the present embodiment will be described based on a flowchart.
5 and 6 are flowcharts showing the flow of processing during a normal game and during an RT (first RT to third RT) game. FIG. 6 is a flowchart following FIG.
In this flowchart, it is assumed that the effect during the RT game is output when the rotation of the reels 31 is started and when all the reels 31 are stopped.

  In step S11 of FIG. 5, the game control means 60 continues to detect whether or not medals have been inserted. And when insertion of a medal is detected, such as operating the bet switch 40, it progresses to step S12. In step S12, the game control means 60 continues to detect whether the start switch 41 is turned on. When ON is detected, an effective line is set according to the number of inserted medals, and the process proceeds to step S13. In step S13, the game control means 60 determines whether or not the (first to third) RT flag 64a is on.

  Here, when any of the RT flags 64a is on, the process proceeds to step S14, and when not, the process proceeds to step S16. In step S14, the game control means determines whether or not the first RT flag 64a is on. When it is determined that the first RT flag 64a is on, the process proceeds to step S17, and when it is determined that the first RT flag 64a is not on, the process proceeds to step S15. In step S15, it is determined whether or not the second RT flag 64a is on. When it is determined that it is on, the process proceeds to step S18, and when it is determined that it is not on, the process proceeds to step S19.

  If it is determined in step S13 that the RT flag 64a is not on, the process proceeds to step S16, where the part lottery table 62A is set as the part lottery table 62 used in the game. Further, when the process proceeds to step S17 (when it is determined in step S14 that the first RT flag 64a is on), the part lottery table 62B is set as the part lottery table used in the game. Furthermore, when the process proceeds to step S18 (when it is determined in step S15 that the second RT flag 64a is on), the part lottery table 62C is set as the part lottery table used in the game.

Further, when the process proceeds to step S19 (when it is determined in step S15 that the second RT flag 64a is not on (the third RT flag is on)), the part lottery table 62D is set as the part lottery table used in the game.
And it progresses to step S20 from step S16, step S17, step S18, and step S19, respectively.

In step S20, the role lottery means 61 performs a lottery for the role using the role lottery table 62 set in steps S16 to S19. In the next step S21, the reel control means 65 performs control so as to start the rotation of all the reels 31.
Next, proceeding to step S22, the game state control means 64 determines whether or not the RT flag 64a is on in the game. When it is determined that it is on, the process proceeds to step S23, and when it is determined that it is not on, the process proceeds to step S24. In step S23, the RT game number counting means 64b performs a process of adding 1 to the RT game number N (N = N + 1). Then, the process proceeds to step S24.

  In step S <b> 24, the effect control unit 70 outputs an effect at the start of rotation of the reel 31. In the next step S25, the game state control means 64 determines whether or not the special combination and the rare replay are won in the game. When it is determined that the winning combination is duplicate, the process proceeds to step S26, and when it is determined that the winning combination is not achieved, the process proceeds to step S27. In step S26, the gaming state control means 64 turns on the corresponding RT flag 64a. That is, the first RT flag 62a is turned on when the SBB and the rare replay are duplicated, and the second RT flag 62a is turned on when the NBB or RB and the rare replay are won.

In step S27, the reel control means 65 sets a stop position determination table 66 corresponding to the winning combination of the game. In the next step S28, the game control means 60 continues to determine whether or not the stop switch 42 is turned on. When it is determined that the stop switch 42 has been turned on, the process proceeds to step S29, where the reel control means 65 controls the motor 32 to stop the reel 31 corresponding to the turned-on stop switch 42.
Next, proceeding to step S30, the game control means 60 determines whether or not all the reels 31 have stopped, and when determining that they have stopped, proceeds to step S31. On the other hand, when it is determined that all the reels 31 have not stopped yet, the process returns to step S28.

  In step S31, the stop symbol determination means 67 determines whether or not the special combination has won. If it is determined that the special combination has been won, the process proceeds to step S32. If it is determined that the special combination has not been won, the process proceeds to step S35. In step S32, the final effect of RT game (the effect that the special role is won) is output, and the process proceeds to step S33. In step S33, the first RT flag 64a or the second RT flag 64a is turned off. And it progresses to step S34 and transfers to special game.

  On the other hand, in step S35, the stop symbol determination means 67 determines whether or not a small role or the like (small role, rare replay, or replay) has won. If it is determined that there is not, the process proceeds to step S37. In step S36, the payout means 68 performs a process such as paying out medals according to the winning combination. For example, when the small combination 2 wins, the number of medals corresponding to the small combination 2 (10) is paid out. Further, at the time of rare replay or replay winning, control is performed so that medals in the game are automatically inserted. Then, the process proceeds to step S37.

In step S37, it is determined whether or not the rare play is won when the game is not in the normal game. When it is determined that a prize has been won, the process proceeds to step S38. When it is determined that a prize has not been won, the process proceeds to step S39. In step S38, the third RT flag 64a is turned on, and the process proceeds to step S39.
In step S39, the gaming state control means 64 determines whether or not the RT flag 64a is on. When it is determined that it is on, the process proceeds to step S40, and when it is determined that it is not on, the process according to this flowchart is terminated.
In step S40, the game state control means 64 determines whether or not the number N of RT games has reached 10 or more. When it is determined that the number is 10 or more, the process proceeds to step S41. When it is determined that the number is not 10 or more, the process according to this flowchart is terminated.

  In step S41, the final effect of the RT game (the effect that the special role is won when the first RT flag 64a or the second RT flag is on, or the special effect when the third RT flag 64a is on) The effect that the winning combination is not won) is output, and the process proceeds to step S42. In step S42, if the game is a third RT game, the third RT flag 64a is turned off. In the next step S43, the RT game number N is initialized (N = 0). And the process by this flowchart is complete | finished.
