Description

  The present invention is a gaming machine capable of shifting to a special gaming state by acquiring a predetermined generation condition such as winning a lottery for winning determination, and generating conditions such as a lottery result for winning determination in a predetermined effect display unit The present invention relates to a gaming machine capable of displaying various effects including information related to acquisition of the game.

In this type of gaming machine, for example, a slot machine, when the start switch is operated, a lottery for winning determination is performed, and when the lottery result is won by a special winning combination (for example, BB game), the stop switch is operated to operate. As a result of stopping the rotating reel inside, if the symbol (for example, 7) related to the special winning can be stopped in a predetermined mode, a prize is won and the game can be shifted to a special game. In addition, in pachinko machines, lottery is performed when a game ball wins a predetermined winning opening, and if the winning game is won as a result of the lottery, for example, a big winning game such as opening a big winning opening is performed. It is supposed to be started.
In these gaming machines, various notification effects are performed during the game, which suggests that the right to shift to the special gaming state is acquired by the lottery for winning determination (whether BB or jackpot is won). This notification effect is set not only to notify the result of the internal lottery as it is, but also to make it easier to display some kind of display when winning, or conversely to make it easier to display some kind of display when not winning. May have been. Such a difference in display mode is expressed in terms of the reliability of the performance with respect to the winning. However, the reliability of the effect display is difficult for an ordinary player to discriminate unless information can be obtained from the strategy book of the game table.

As for conventional gaming machines, a technique for changing the reliability of the notification effect at a predetermined opportunity (see Patent Document 1) or informing the player of the reliability (see Patent Document 2) is disclosed. Yes.
JP 2002-126243 A JP 2003-181062 A

As described above, when the reliability is set for the notification effect, the player who grasps the reliability is disturbed by the appearance of the performance with a low reliability, and the game does not grasp the reliability. If you are a person, it may cause you to miss a chance.
On the other hand, as in the invention described in the cited document 1, even if the reliability of the effect is changed at a predetermined opportunity, there is an effect in avoiding the one pattern of the effect, but the reliability for each game. Cannot be gradually increased.
Therefore, according to the invention described in each claim, in the production in which the reliability is set, the reliability is increased as the game is digested even if the production is originally low in reliability, and the reliability is set. It is an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine in which an effect that has not been made is also changed to an effect informing a specific state as the game is digested.

The present invention has been made to achieve the above-described object, and features of the present invention will be described below with reference to embodiments of the invention shown in the drawings.
In addition, the code | symbol in parenthesis shows the code | symbol used in embodiment of invention, and does not limit the technical scope of this invention.
(Feature point)
(Claim 1)
The invention described in claim 1 is characterized by the following points.
That is, the invention according to claim 1 is a normal game control means (70) for controlling a normal game, and a special game control means for controlling a special game that can give a player a larger profit than the normal game. (80), an effect data storage means (140) for storing a plurality of effect data for performing various effect displays, and an effect execution lottery based on which of the plurality of effect data is to be executed At least an effect lottery means (160) for determining by the above and an effect execution means (170) for executing the effect determined to be executed by the effect lottery means (160), for obtaining a predetermined generation condition Accordingly, the present invention relates to a gaming machine that can shift the gaming state from the normal gaming state in which the normal game is performed to the special gaming state for a certain period in which the special game is performed.

The gaming machine according to the present invention can be a slot machine or a pachinko gaming machine, and includes a payout device (hopper unit 65) and other components for paying out game media at the time of winning in addition to the above configuration. May be. The “game medium” includes medals, game balls (pachinko balls), coins and the like used for games.
The special game state is a game section that is set to be more advantageous to the player than the normal game state, and includes, for example, a big bonus game and a regular bonus game.
Here, “acquisition of a predetermined occurrence condition” is a predetermined condition that triggers the transition to the special gaming state, for example, a lottery result of the winning determination is a specific condition that permits the transition to the special gaming state This is a case of winning (for example, special winning such as BB). In addition, here, “because of the acquisition of the occurrence condition” means that the transition to the special gaming state is performed only by acquiring the predetermined occurrence condition (for example, special winning), acquiring the occurrence condition, and When the other transition conditions are satisfied (for example, when the symbols of the symbol display means capable of variably displaying a plurality of symbols are stopped and displayed in a predetermined manner), both of the transition to the special gaming state are included.

And in this invention, the execution effect memory | storage means for memorize | storing the effect performed at the predetermined time from acquisition of the generation conditions of the said special game state until the special game state resulting from the said generation condition acquisition is complete | finished (150) and lottery probability correction means (162) for changing the lottery probability that each effect is executed in the effect execution lottery performed by the effect lottery means (160). If the execution effect storage means (150) does not store the execution effect, the effect lottery means (160) performs the effect execution lottery with a predetermined normal lottery probability.
On the other hand, in the case where the execution effect storage means (150) stores a predetermined execution effect, the lottery probability correction means (162) is in a special gaming state resulting from acquisition of the special gaming state occurrence condition. After the end, until the acquisition of the condition for generating the next special gaming state, the lottery probability is corrected so that the stored execution effect is difficult to win the lottery, and the special game resulting from the acquisition of the condition for generating the special gaming state After the completion of the state, after acquiring the conditions for occurrence of the next special gaming state, the lottery probability is corrected so that the stored execution effect is likely to win the lottery, and the effect lottery means (160) It is configured to perform the effect execution lottery with the lottery probability corrected by the correcting means (162).

Here, “from the acquisition of the occurrence condition of the special gaming state to the end of the special gaming state resulting from the acquisition of the occurrence condition”, the acquisition condition is acquired (for example, when the BB flag is established), This includes the period from acquisition to transition to the special gaming state (for example, inside the BB), the transition to the special gaming state (for example, at the time of BB winning), and the special gaming state (for example, during the BB game).
Further, “correcting the lottery probability so that the execution effect is difficult to win the lottery” means that the winning probability of the stored execution effect is reduced among the total probabilities that the effect is executed, or the execution effect. As a result, the probability of winning the execution effect is lowered by increasing the winning probability of the other effects. “Correction of the lottery probability so that the execution effect is easy to win the lottery” means that the winning probability of the stored execution effect is increased among the total probabilities that the effect is executed, or an effect other than the execution effect. By reducing the winning probability, as a result, the probability that the execution effect is a win is increased.

(Function)
In the present invention, in the initial state, the lottery probability of the effect execution lottery is a normal probability. And, for example, when a special game state generation condition is acquired as a result of a lottery determination, for example, when a special winning state is won, a predetermined time from acquisition to the special gaming state is acquired. The execution effect storage means (150) stores the effect determined to be executed by the effect lottery means (160) and executed at a predetermined time after the transition to the special game state.
When the special gaming state is finished, the lottery probability correcting means (162) lowers the stored winning effect winning probability for each lottery when the special gaming state occurrence condition is not acquired. Then, based on the corrected probability, the effect lottery means (160) performs the effect execution lottery. For this reason, when the conditions for generating the special gaming state are not acquired, the appearance rate of the stored execution effects gradually decreases. If the generation condition is not acquired for a long time, the winning probability of the stored execution effect may be “0”.

On the other hand, when the condition for generating the special game state is acquired, the winning probability of the stored execution effect is increased. For this reason, since the appearance rate of the stored execution effect increases, the player can predict the occurrence of a special gaming state by the appearance of the effect.
In this case, even if the stored execution effect is originally an effect with low reliability, or is not an effect that originally displays reliability (for example, an effect performed during a special gaming state, etc.) When the game condition occurrence condition is not acquired, the possibility of being executed decreases as the game progresses. Conversely, when the special game condition occurrence condition is acquired, the possibility of execution is increased. That is, as the game progresses, it is possible to create a phenomenon in which the reliability of notification related to the acquisition of the special game state occurrence condition is embodied in the stored execution effect.

In addition, if the lottery probability of the corrected effect execution lottery is returned to the initial state by turning off the power of the gaming machine, for example, the highly reliable performance may differ from day to day on the same game machine. it can.
(Claim 2)
The invention described in claim 2 is characterized by the following points in addition to the features of the invention described in claim 1 described above.
That is, the invention described in claim 2 is characterized in that the execution effect storage means (150) stores an effect executed at a predetermined time in the special game state.

The present invention increases the probability that an effect performed during a special game state is executed when the special game state occurrence condition is acquired again after the special game state ends.
Here, the “predetermined time in the special game state” can be determined according to the elapsed time since the transition to the special game state, the number of games, the number of game media paid out by winning, and the like. The predetermined time may be determined in advance or may be determined by lottery. Alternatively, it may be determined according to the game history or the state (for example, setting) of the gaming machine. Further, the “predetermined time” includes a certain period of time, for example, 3 minutes for 10 games.

(Claim 3)
The invention described in claim 3 has the following features in addition to the features of the invention described in claim 1 described above.
That is, the invention according to claim 3 is provided with a plurality of notification effect data for performing display suggesting acquisition of the occurrence condition of the special gaming state as the effect data, and notification performed based on the notification effect data In the production, when the generation condition is acquired, the high-reliability production in which execution is determined with a higher probability than when the generation condition is not acquired, and when the generation condition is acquired, the generation condition is acquired. A low-reliability performance that is determined to be executed with a probability that is not higher than when it is not performed, and the execution effect storage means (150) is caused by acquiring the condition from the time when the condition for occurrence of the special winning state is acquired. An effect executed at a predetermined time until the transition to the special game state is stored.

The present invention is configured so that the reliability of the effect executed when the occurrence condition is acquired is increased in the case where the predetermined reliability for the generation condition acquisition of the special gaming state is set with respect to the effect. It is.
Here, the high-reliability effect is an effect in which a lottery probability is set so as to easily appear when a condition for generating a special game state is acquired, and if the effect is performed, the special game is highly probable. It is an effect that can be expected to shift to a state. A low-reliability effect is an effect in which a lottery probability has been set so that it will appear in the same way when the special game state occurrence condition is acquired or otherwise, or it will be difficult to appear when the special game state occurrence condition is acquired. Therefore, even if the production is performed, the production cannot be expected to shift to the special game state. That is, the lottery table used when performing the effect execution lottery is configured such that the winning area of those effects has the appearance rate as described above.

According to the present invention, even when a low-reliability effect that is not originally highly reliable is hit when acquiring the condition for generating a special gaming state, when the generating condition is not acquired while playing a game, The production is unlikely to appear, and it is easy to appear when the occurrence condition is acquired, so that it can be felt as a highly reliable production.
(Claim 4)
The invention described in claim 4 is characterized by the following points in addition to the characteristics of the invention described in claim 1 or 2.
That is, the invention according to claim 4 is a symbol display means capable of variably displaying and stopping a plurality of symbols, a start switch (30) for starting the symbol variation of the symbol display means, and the symbol being varied. A stop switch (50) for stopping and displaying the display means; and a winning lottery means (110) for performing a lottery for determining whether to win or not. The winning lottery means (110) A lottery for winning determination is performed every time the change of the means starts, and when the lottery result of the winning determination is a special winning, the occurrence condition of the special gaming state is acquired, and the winning of the special gaming state After the lottery result of the lottery means is a special winning, the symbol displayed on the symbol display means is shifted on condition that it stops in a predetermined mode based on the operation of the stop switch (50). Formed in The The execution effect storage means (150) stores the effect executed when the lottery result of the winning lottery means (110) is a special winning, and the lottery probability correction means (162) When the lottery result of the lottery means (110) is a special win, every time the lottery means (110) is drawn after the special win until the transition to the special gaming state resulting from the special win In addition, the lottery probability is corrected so that the stored execution effect is easy to win the lottery.

The gaming machine according to the present invention can be a slot machine.
The symbol display means may be a rotary reel (40) having a plurality of symbols displayed on the surface thereof, which is pivotally attached to a drive motor. The display can be stopped.
In addition, “every time the symbol display means starts to fluctuate” includes when the symbol display means starts to fluctuate, when the start switch (30) is operated, or when the start switch (30) becomes operable ( For example, including medal insertion and operation of the bet switch (16).
According to the present invention, when the lottery result is a special win, the predetermined symbol for shifting to the special game state based on the special win can be stopped in a predetermined mode by operating the stop switch (50). Until then, the lottery probability of the effect (memory effect) executed at the time of the last special winning is increased. Therefore, even if it is not possible to shift to the special gaming state immediately after winning, the frequency of executing the memory effect increases for each game. Therefore, the player can expect the special winning and stop the special symbol. it can.

(Claim 5)
The invention described in claim 5 is characterized by the following points in addition to the characteristics of the invention described in any one of claims 1 to 4.
That is, the invention according to claim 5 is configured to pay out game media by winning, and an assumed payout of game media in which the average payout game media amount by winning during a certain period is ranked in a plurality of stages. It relates to gaming machines that have a setting for quantity. The effect lottery means (160) performs the effect execution lottery using a lottery table (effect lottery table 161) in which a winning area of a plurality of effect data is determined, and the lottery probability correction means (162) In the case where the execution effect storage means (150) stores a predetermined execution effect, the lottery table (161) of the stored execution effect is not acquired if the conditions for occurrence of the special gaming state are not acquired. The lottery probability is corrected so as to reduce the relative winning probability of the execution effect by reducing the upper winning area and increasing the winning area of other effects, and the conditions for occurrence of the special gaming state are acquired. In the case, the lottery so that the relative winning probability of the execution effect is increased by increasing the winning area on the lottery table (161) of the stored execution effect and reducing the winning area of other effects. Compensate for probability Correct. And the adjustment ratio of the winning area of the execution effect is determined according to the setting relating to the assumed payout amount of the game medium.

In the present invention, the rate of increase in the reliability of the memory effect is made different depending on the setting of the gaming machine.
Here, the “setting regarding the assumed payout amount” is a so-called payout rate setting. Specifically, for example, a lottery table used when performing a lottery for determining whether or not a winner has been won is changed. In order to increase or decrease the average payout game medium amount by winning in a certain period by changing the winning probability of internal winning. Specifically, the setting is a ranking of the probability (winning probability) that the winning combination in the lottery of the winning determination wins. Changing the setting means changing the winning determination table used for the winning determination. It is synonymous. And if you use a winning decision table with a high winning probability (if you set a higher value), the probability of winning is higher because of the higher probability of winning, and as a result, the winning rate (relative game media payout amount) Becomes higher. On the other hand, if the winning determination table with a low winning probability is used (if the setting value is lowered), the probability of winning is low, resulting in a reduced chance of winning, and the payout rate (relative game media payout amount) ) Becomes lower.

In the present invention, the ratio of increasing / decreasing the winning area of the storage effect on the lottery table (161) is set to a different value depending on the above setting. For example, as the setting of the gaming machine is higher, the increase rate of the memory effect can be increased or conversely decreased. The increase / decrease rate may be the same for each setting, or the increase rate and the reduction rate may be different.
According to the present invention, it is possible to predict the setting value of the gaming machine depending on how much the effect performed at the time of the specific time during the game appears when the special game state occurrence condition such as at the time of special winning is obtained. .

Since this invention is comprised as mentioned above, there exist the following effects.
In other words, according to the first to fourth aspects of the present invention, in the stage where the reliability is set, even if the stage is low in reliability, the degree of reliability increases as the game is digested, It is possible to provide a gaming machine in which an effect whose degree is not set is changed to an effect of notifying a specific state as the game is digested. Further, according to the fifth aspect of the invention, in addition to the above effects, it is possible to predict the set value of the gaming machine.

A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings by taking a slot machine as an example of a gaming machine and dividing it into a first embodiment and a second embodiment.

The lamp 68 and the speaker 69 are for notifying a winning or the like by turning on or blinking the light emitter and generating a winning sound.
(Game control device 21)
Next, the game control device 21 will be described in detail.
The game control device 21 is for controlling the rotation and stop of the rotary reel 40 by operating the start switch 30 and the stop switch 50. The game control device 21 functions as the following means (1) to (5).
(1) Normal game control means 70
(2) Special game control means 80
(3) Winning lottery 110
(4) Reel control means 120
(5) Winning determination means 130
The game control device 21 is not limited to the above-described means (1) to (5), and may include other means.

(Normal game control means 70)
The normal game control means 70 is for causing a normal game to be performed.
That is, when the start switch 30 is operated on the condition that a medal is inserted or the bet switch 16 is pressed, or on the condition that a predetermined time has elapsed from the previous game at the time of “Replay”, the reel unit 60 is driven. The rotating reels 40 start to rotate.
Thereafter, when one of the stop switches 50 is operated, the rotation of the corresponding rotary reel 40 is stopped.
When all three stop switches 50 have been operated, all the rotations of the three rotary reels 40 are stopped. At this time, when a preset symbol is stopped on the active line of the symbol display window 13, a predetermined number of medals are paid out via the hopper unit 65.

Winning is accompanied by payout of game medals by winning a prize, and there is no small medal winning that gives the player profit, special winning that gives the player even more profit than this small role winning, and there is no payout of game medal However, it is equipped with a “replay” that can be played again without newly inserting a game medal. Further, in the small role winning, a plurality of types of winning combinations having different numbers of medals to be paid out by winning are set.
When the lottery result of the winning determination is won for any combination, a winning flag corresponding to the winning is established. Then, when the lottery result is a special winning flag, a special winning flag is established, and during the special winning flag is established, a combination of stop symbols of the rotating reel 40 of the reel unit 60 is set to a predetermined predetermined special winning symbol. (For example, three pieces of “7” on the active line are matched) are awarded on the condition that the match is made, and a special game advantageous to the player is performed. On the other hand, if the special winning flag is established by lottery, but the combination of the stop symbols of the rotating reel 40 does not match the special winning symbol, the right to establish the special winning flag is carried over to the subsequent games. Has been. If the winning flag for the small role is not awarded in the game in which the winning flag is established, the right to establish the winning flag is not carried over to the next game.

  Further, whether or not the corresponding winning symbol can be aligned on the active line while any of the winning flags is established depends on the timing of the stop switch 50. Specifically, when the rotation speed of the rotary reel 40 is a normal speed, since the rotary reel 40 is set to stop within 190 ms after operating the stop switch 50, after operating the stop switch 50, It seems that the corresponding winning symbol is included in the retractable symbols on the circumference of the rotating reel 40 that can be stopped as it is, or can be stopped within 190 ms, for example, four consecutive retractable symbols from the stopped symbol. In such a case, the time until the stoppage is delayed, and the rotating reel 40 pulls the winning symbol on the active line and stops. On the other hand, when the corresponding winning symbol is not included in the four retractable symbols, the winning symbol cannot be drawn on the active line and stopped.

(Special game control means 80)
The special game control means 80 is for causing the player to play a special game that is advantageous based on the lottery result of the lottery means and other conditions.
The special game is roughly divided into the following games.
(1) Specified introduction game (big bonus game, hereinafter referred to as BB game)
(2) Specific games (regular bonus game, RB game)
(3) Specified winning game (Jack game, hereinafter referred to as JAC game)
Note that the RB game may be played during the BB game, or may be played alone when not during the BB game. The JAC game is played during the RB game. Further, the special game is not limited to the games (1) to (3) described above.

As shown in FIG. 1, the special game control means 80 is roughly divided into the following means.
(1) Specific introduction game control means 90
(2) Specific game control means 100
(Specific introduction game control means 90)
The specific introduction game control means 90 is for controlling the BB game.
Specifically, in the normal game, although not shown, for example, when three symbols such as “7” are arranged on the winning line, the BB game is started from the next game.
When shifting to the BB game, the RB game is started without arranging the specific winning symbol (RB symbol) for shifting to the RB game. When one RB game ends, the RB game is started again without aligning the RB symbols. In this way, the RB game is repeated during the BB game. When a predetermined number of medals are paid out, the BB game ends even if the RB game being executed is in progress.

(Specific game control means 100)
The specific game control means 100 is for controlling the RB game.
Specifically, when a transition is made to the RB game, one medal is inserted, and a specific winning game that is won when a predetermined symbol of the rotating reel 40 is aligned on the center line of the display window 12 is performed. . In the RB game, a specific winning game for determining whether or not to win can be performed a maximum of 12 times, of which a maximum of 8 times can be won. In other words, the RB game is ended by winning a maximum of 8 times or by ending a specific winning game of a maximum of 12 times.

In addition, as described above, during the BB game, even if the conditions for ending the previous term are not met, the game ends when the number of payout medals during the BB game reaches a certain number.
(Winning lottery means 110)
The winning lottery means 110 performs a lottery concerning the winning combination based on a predetermined lottery probability. As a result of the lottery by the winning lottery means 110, a winning flag is established when a predetermined winning combination is won, and a combination of stop symbols of the rotating reel 40 is determined in advance while the winning flag is established. It is set so that a prize is awarded on the condition that the two match, and the player is given a medal or a special game.

As shown in FIG. 1, the winning lottery means 110 is roughly divided into the following means.
(1) Random number generator 111
(2) Random number extraction means 112
(3) Winning determination table 113
(4) Determination means 114
The winning lottery means 110 is not limited to the above (1) to (4).
(Random number generator 111)
The random number generating means 111 generates a random number for winning lottery within a predetermined area (for example, 0 to 65535 in decimal number).

(Random number extraction means 112)
The random number extraction unit 112 extracts a random number generated by the random number generation unit 111 at the operation timing of the start switch 30. This extracted random number is used as extracted random number data.
Here, as the “random number generating means”, in addition to the means that can generate random numbers by means of an average sampling method as a soft random number, a “random number generating means” is configured by using a counter that adds numbers in a certain range one by one at high speed. You can also. For example, a counter in which numbers in the range of 0 to 16383 are sequentially repeated about 7 million times per second can be considered. The “random number extraction means” reads the counter number at the timing when the start switch is pressed.

When formed in this way, the “random number generating means” does not generate random numbers, but the numbers extracted by the “random number extracting means” have a distribution like random numbers. As described above, means for obtaining a number indicating a distribution such as random numbers as a result is considered to be included in “random number generation means” or “random number extraction means”.
(Winning judgment table 113)
The winning determination table 113 defines the winning area and the losing area of each winning item with all the random numbers taken by the random number generation means 111 as the entire area.
(Determination means 114)
Based on the extracted random number data extracted by the random number extraction means 112 and the lottery probability data in the winning determination table 113, the determination means 114 is a winning area consisting of winning areas of each winning item in all areas of random numbers taken by the random number generating means 111 The winning area corresponding to the winning area to which the extracted random number data belongs is determined by collating with the determination area data.

(Reel control means 120)
The reel control means 120 rotates the rotating reel 40 based on an effective operation signal of the start switch 30, and the winning lottery while recognizing the current position of the symbol based on a detection signal of a reel rotation detection sensor (not shown). The stop of the rotary reel 40 is controlled based on the lottery result of the means 110 and the effective operation timing of the stop switch 50.
The reel control means 120 includes a rotation control means and a stop control means, although not particularly shown. The reel control means 120 may include means other than those described above.

The rotation control means outputs a start signal based on the operation signal of the start switch 30, drives the three drive motors, and rotates the rotary reel 40.
The stop control means is for controlling the rotation stop of the rotating reel 40 during rotation. That is, when any one of the stop switches 50 is operated while the rotary reel 40 is rotating at a constant speed (that is, excluding the acceleration period), a stop signal based on the operation signal of the stop switch 50 (driving of the reel unit 60) A signal for stopping driving of the motor) is output, and the rotation of the rotary reel 40 is stopped. Specifically, with the design of the rotating reel 40 that can be immediately stopped at a predetermined position when the stop switch 50 is pressed as a reference design, the rotary reel 40 is moved within the range from the reference design to the design when moving four frames in the rotation direction. Based on the winning determination result, it is determined where to stop within the range of 5 frames including the reference symbol.

  Although the stop control means is not particularly shown, it has at least a stop control data storage means and a stop control change means, and when the winning flag is established, the symbol corresponding to the winning (winning symbol) is as effective as possible. Control is performed so as to stop on the line, and other symbols do not stop on the active line in a winning manner, and the stop symbol is determined within the range of the five frames. In other words, the control to be stopped is controlled so as to stop as much as possible within the range of 5 frames (pull-in control), and the control that should not be stopped is controlled not to stop (kicking control). On the other hand, when the winning flag is not established, the kicking control is performed so that the stop symbol does not become any winning form.

  A stop table may be provided as the stop control data. The stop table defines how many frames are rotated from a predetermined symbol to stop the rotating reel 40 on the table for each symbol according to a predetermined condition. Specifically, when the winning flag is established, the stop position is determined in advance on the table so that the symbols corresponding to the winning flag are aligned on the active line, and a kind of so-called pull-in setting is provided. It is what. In addition, when the winning flag is not established, the stop position is determined in advance on the table so that other winning symbols are not aligned on the active line, and a kind of so-called kick setting is provided. .

(Winning determination means 130)
The winning determination means 130 determines whether or not the winning symbol of the three rotating reels 40 can be stopped in the winning manner by operating the stop switch 50 when the lottery result of the winning determination is winning. If it is possible to stop in the winning mode, the winning is determined. When the prize is accompanied by a medal payout, a prize payout signal is output to the hopper unit 65, and in the case of a special prize such as a bonus game prize, the special game control means 80 is used to start a special game. Is.
(Production control device 21)
The effect control device 21 is for controlling the operation of the effect display unit 66 based on the output signal from the game control device 21 to perform a predetermined effect. And the production | presentation control apparatus 21 has the following means (1) thru | or (4), as shown in FIG.

(1) Production data storage means 140
(2) Execution effect storage means 150
(3) Production lottery means 160
(4) Production execution means 170
The effect control device 21 may have means other than those described above.
(Production data storage means 140)
The effect data storage means 140 stores a plurality of effect data. The production data includes, for example, data for lighting and blinking the lamp 68 in a predetermined pattern, data for causing the speaker 69 to output a predetermined sound, and data for displaying a predetermined moving image on the image display unit 67, Each of the effect display units 66 includes a certain effect display to form one effect display.

  Here, in the effect data, in addition to a single effect such as displaying a specific image or outputting a specific sound, an effect group that is a group of the same kind of effects and different result displays is provided. ing. For example, a grouped effect such as a treasure box effect, a roulette effect, a battle effect, or the like can be provided as a display mode for winning notification using the image display unit 67. The above-mentioned production group is performed in common in bonus winning cases and other cases (including the case of losing), and in each production, the result of the production may indicate an internal winning. It can be done. For example, depending on the type of symbol that pops out of the treasure chest in the treasure chest direction, depending on the type of symbol when the roulette stops in the roulette direction, BB unsuccessful).

  However, this suggestion does not necessarily accurately reflect the lottery result. For example, it is assumed that three effect groups of X, Y, and Z are provided as effect data as shown in FIG. Production X (for example, treasure chest production) has data of Xa and Xb with different results, respectively, Xa is a display suggesting BB winning (for example, a treasure chest to gold coins), and Xb is a display suggesting small role winning ( For example, a silver coin from a treasure box is performed. In addition to Xa and Xb, there may be data for displaying a display suggesting a loss (for example, nothing comes out of the treasure box), but this is omitted for the sake of simplicity. In the production X, Xa appears with high probability when BB is won, and Xb appears with high probability when BB is not won. That is, even when the BB is not won, a display (so-called “gase effect”) suggesting the BB winning may be performed.

Similarly, the production Y and the production Z also have data for performing a display suggesting BB winning and a display suggesting inappropriate winning, respectively, but have different appearance probabilities. That is, the production Y and the production Z are productions with a high probability of performing a gasse production and a low reliability compared to the production X.
In the present embodiment, the reliability is formed so as to change from the initial state under a predetermined condition. Details thereof will be described later.
(Execution effect storage means 150)
The execution effect storage means 150 is for storing an effect executed at a specific time.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, an index of effect data relating to an effect determined to be executed by lottery when the BB is won (game when the BB flag is established) (that is, the effect executed when the BB is won) is stored. To do. For example, when the effect Zb shown in FIG. 8 is performed at the time of winning the BB, an index attached to the effect Z including the effect Zb is stored.
The execution effect storage means 150 updates the stored data every time the execution execution is determined. Therefore, when the production is not performed at the time of winning the BB (the lottery result is a loss), the performance performed at the time of winning the previous BB is stored as it is.
(Direction lottery means 160)
The effect lottery means 160 is for determining an effect to be executed by lottery, and has the following means (1) to (3). The effect lottery means 160 may have means other than the above. For example, a random number generating means for production and a random number extracting means may be provided.

(1) Production lottery table 161
(2) Lottery probability correction means 162
(3) Determination means 163
(Direction lottery table 161)
The effect lottery table 161 defines areas corresponding to a plurality of effect data, with the random numbers generated by the effect random number generating means (not shown) as a whole range. In the present embodiment, the area data A normal lottery table that cannot be rewritten and a correction lottery table that can rewrite area data are provided.

  The normal lottery table includes a general normal lottery table 161A used when the lottery result of the win determination is a win other than the BB win, and a normal lottery table 161B for confirmation used when the lottery result of the win determination is a BB win. Is provided. FIG. 9A shows a normal lottery table 161A for general use, and FIG. 9B shows a normal lottery table 161B for confirmation. Here, “X”, “Y”, and “Z” represent the production groups shown in FIG. 8, respectively. When production X is won, for example, a treasure box production is performed, and when production Y is won, roulette production is performed. It is set so that when the effect Z is won, a battle effect is performed. Further, “None” is a loss area, and no production is performed. Further, each effect area is divided into effect areas with different result displays. When Xa is won, a display suggesting BB is made in the treasure box effect, and when Xb is won, a display suggesting BB misrepresentation is made in the treasure box effect. The The same applies to effects Y and Z.

  These effect areas are set in different ranges for the general normal lottery table 161A and the final determination normal lottery table 161B. That is, even in the same production, the appearance probabilities are different between when BB is won and when BB is not won. For example, a highly reliable treasure box effect X appears only rarely when BB is not selected, but appears frequently when BB is selected, and a battle effect Z with low reliability appears to some extent when BB is not selected, and rarely occurs when BB is selected. It is set so that it only appears. As a result, when the treasure box effect X is performed, the possibility of winning the BB is high (the reliability of the effect group X with respect to the BB is high). Conversely, when the battle effect Z is performed, the BB winning is possible. It is possible to create a phenomenon that the performance is low (the reliability of the production group Z with respect to the BB is low).

The correction lottery table includes a general correction lottery table 161C used when the lottery result of the win determination is a win other than BB win, and a BB correction lottery table 161D used when the lottery result of the win determination is BB win. Is provided. As shown in FIGS. 11 (A) and 12 (A), the general correction lottery table 161C and the BB correction lottery table 161D are configured as shown in FIG. Each table 161B has the same configuration. However, rewriting is performed by a lottery probability correcting unit 162 described later under a predetermined condition, and each effect area is corrected.
The illustrated effect lottery table 161 is an example, and is not limited to such a configuration. For example, an effect lottery table 161 for a case where the lottery result is lost may be provided.

  Moreover, in the table structure of the normal lottery table described above, it is possible to determine the presence / absence of the effect and the type of the effect in one lottery, but the lottery table for determining whether to perform the effect, XYZ A lottery table for deciding whether to execute a production group and a lottery table for deciding which of ab (suggestion of unsuccessful election) should be displayed for each production group, It may be provided for BB unsuccessful election. In this case, a three-stage lottery is performed in which the type of effect is determined when it is determined that the effect is to be performed, and the contents are determined when the type of effect is determined. Alternatively, it may be configured such that a two-stage lottery of the presence / absence of the production and the type and contents of the production is performed, or a two-stage lottery of the contents and the presence / absence of the production is performed.

(Lottery probability correction means 162)
The lottery probability correction means 162 is for rewriting the correction lottery table based on the effect data related to the storage of the execution effect storage means 150 and the lottery result of the winning determination for each game.
Specifically, the lottery probability correcting means 162 is used when the execution effect storage means 150 stores the effect performed at the time of the previous BB winning (hereinafter referred to as a finalized storage effect) and the lottery result is not the BB winning. Is to subtract a predetermined lottery correction ratio from the winning area related to the confirmed memory effect on the general correction lottery table 161C to correct the lottery probability so that the confirmed memory effect is less likely to appear when the BB is not won. On the contrary, when the lottery result is BB winning, by adding a predetermined lottery correction ratio to the winning area related to the confirmed memory effect in the BB correction lottery table 161D, the confirmed memory effect is obtained in the case of BB winning. The lottery probability is corrected to make it easier to appear.

Here, the lottery correction ratio is a numerical value that defines how wide or narrow the ratio (lottery value) that the area of the finalized storage effect occupies in the entire table is, as shown in FIG. It is predetermined according to the setting of 10. Here, the setting of the slot machine 10 divides the expected payout medal ratio (so-called payout rate) with respect to medals to be inserted in a certain period of time, and is provided with six stages 1 to 6. It has been. A winning determination table 113 that defines different winning areas for each setting is used such that the lower the set value, the lower the payout rate, and the higher the set value, the higher the payout rate.
The lottery correction ratio may be set to the same ratio when adding and subtracting as shown in FIG. 10A, or when adding and subtracting as shown in FIG. 10B. May be set to have different ratios. Alternatively, the above settings (A) and (B) may be properly used according to the lottery value of the finalized storage effect. Here, when the BB wins, there are overwhelmingly more cases when other small roles win, so when adding the lottery value of the final memory effect than when subtracting the lottery value of the final memory effect It is preferable to increase the lottery correction ratio value.

The area setting of the corrected lottery table rewritten by the lottery probability correcting unit 162 is reset when the power of the slot machine 10 is turned off, and returns to the initial value. Accordingly, when the setting of the slot machine 10 is changed or when the gaming machine is turned off after one day of business is completed, the original state is restored.
(Specific example of rewriting lottery table)
Next, a specific example of rewriting the correction lottery table based on the lottery correction ratio will be specifically described based on FIGS. Here, as a rewriting method, (1) a method of adding or subtracting the numerical value of the lottery correction ratio to the lottery value of the confirmed memory effect as it is, and (2) adding or subtracting the lottery value of the final memory effect by the proportion of the lottery correction ratio. There are methods, but either method may be used. Hereinafter, each case will be described separately.

(1) When the lottery value of the confirmed memory effect is adjusted First, it is assumed that the confirmed memory effect is the effect Z, the lottery correction ratio is (A) in FIG.
In the case of BB unsuccessful (small role or replay winning), the lottery correction ratio value 10 is subtracted from the lottery value of the fixed memory effect in the general correction lottery table 131C for each game related to the win. For example, when the general correction lottery table 131C is in the initial state, the lottery value of the effect Z after the subtraction is 15% by subtracting 10 from the initial lottery value 25 as shown in FIG. It becomes. The lottery values for other effects are added according to the ratio of the initial value (effect X: effect Y = 1: 4) by the amount by which effect Z is subtracted. In the illustrated example, the area without effect is not rewritten, but the entire area including the area without effect may be rewritten according to the ratio (the same applies to FIGS. 12 and 13 below).

Then, if an effect execution lottery is performed with the table rewritten as in (B) above, and a winning combination other than BB is won next, the lottery value of effect Z is as shown in FIG. , 10 is subtracted from the lottery value 15 after the subtraction to be 5%. In this way, when a winning combination other than BB is won next time, as shown in FIG. 11D, the lottery value of the effect Z becomes 0 (5-10 = 0, not a negative number). ). For this reason, the production Z does not appear in the BB unselected game.
On the other hand, in the BB winning game and the game carrying over the BB flag, the lottery correction ratio value 10 is added to the lottery value of the finalized storage effect in the finalizing correction lottery table 131D for each game. For example, when the determination correction lottery table 131D is in the initial state at the time of winning the BB, 10 is added to the lottery value 10 of the initial value as the lottery value of the effect Z after the addition as shown in FIG. 20%. Then, the lottery values of other effects are subtracted according to the ratio of the initial values by the amount of the effect Z added.

When BB does not win in the next game, the lottery value of the effect Z is 30% by adding 10 to the lottery value 20 after the addition as shown in FIG. As a result of adding the lottery value of the effect Z in this way, if the lottery value exceeds 100 (95 if the non-effect region is not subject to rewriting), the lottery value remains 100. . Then, only the effect Z appears in the subsequent BB winning game.
Here, the probability of the effect Za is increased by increasing the probability of the effect Z as a whole. Therefore, compared to the initial state, the appearance probability of the effect Za suggesting BB winning is also higher, and the reliability of the effect Z can be increased.

Also, in the next game, when BB wins and BB wins again after some game (after BB ends), if the effect Z wins at the time of BB winning, The lottery value is further incremented by 10. If another effect is won at the time of winning the BB, the determination correction lottery table 131D is rewritten (the state shown in FIG. 12B), and the lottery value of the other effect selected is rewritten. The same applies to the general correction lottery table 131C.
(2) In the case where the ratio of the lottery value of the confirmed memory effect is adjusted First, assume that the confirmed memory effect is the effect X, the lottery correction ratio is (A) in FIG.

In the case of BB unsuccessful, for each game related to the winning, a value of 10% of the lottery value is subtracted from the value of the lottery value of the fixed storage effect in the general correction lottery table 131C. For example, when the general correction lottery table 131C is in the initial state, the lottery value of the effect X after the subtraction is 10% of the initial lottery values 5 to 5 of 0. 0 as shown in FIG. 5 is subtracted to 4.5%. Subsequent calculation of the lottery value of the effect X and the lottery values related to other effects are the same as in the case of (1) described above.
On the other hand, in the BB winning game and the game carrying over the BB flag, a value of 10% of the lottery value is added to the lottery value of the finalized storage effect in the finalizing correction lottery table 131D for each game. For example, when the determination correction lottery table 131D is in the initial state at the time of winning the BB, the lottery value of the effect X after the addition is 10% of 50 in the initial lottery value 50 as shown in FIG. Of 5 is added to 55%.

FIG. 14 is an example for comparing the above methods (1) and (2), and FIG. 14 (A) shows the lottery value of the effect Z in the final determination correction lottery table 131D of (1). An example in which 100% is added by the method, and FIG. 14B is an example in which the same correction lottery table 131D for determination is added 100% by the method (2).
As a method for correcting the lottery probability, the above (1) and (2) may be properly used in consideration of the setting of the lottery correction ratio and the setting of the area of the effect data. As a result, it is only necessary that the appearance rate of the confirmed memory effect is lowered in the BB unselected game and the appearance rate of the confirmed memory effect is increased in the BB winning game.

In the above example, an effect group including a confirmed effect is stored as a confirmed memory effect, and the lottery probability of the effect group is adjusted. Of course, the effect itself executed at the time of winning the BB (for example, You may make it adjust the lottery probability of production Za). In this case, the lottery probability of the effect group (Z) to which the effect belongs also changes due to the change in the probability of the effect (Za), but the entire table of other effects (Zb) included in the effect group (Z) Since the lottery probability does not change, the reliability of the production group (Z) changes as a result.
(Determination means 163)
The determination unit 163 picks up the random number generated by the production random number generation unit at a predetermined timing (for example, pressing of the start switch 30), compares the pickup random number data with the production lottery table 161, and applies the production data. This is to determine whether or not to win.

(Direction execution means 170)
The effect execution means 170 is for determining an effect to be executed based on the determination result of the determination means 163 and causing the effect display unit 66 to perform a predetermined display based on the effect data.
(Operation of slot machine 10)
Next, an outline of the operation of the slot machine 10 having the above-described configuration will be described based on the flow of FIGS.
First, in step 100 shown in FIG. 3, it is determined whether or not the start switch 30 is turned on. If the start switch 30 is not turned ON, the process returns to step 100. When the start switch 30 is turned on, the process proceeds to the next step 101.

In step 101, a lottery process is performed by the winning lottery means 110. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 102.
In step 102, the rotating reel 40 starts to rotate. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 1023.
In step 103, it is determined whether any one of the stop switches 50 is turned on. If the stop switch 50 is not turned on, the process returns to step 103. If any stop switch 50 is turned on, the process proceeds to the next step 104.
In step 104, rotation stop processing of the rotary reel 40 corresponding to the stop switch 50 that is turned on is performed. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 105.

In step 105, it is determined whether or not the operation of the stop switch 50 corresponding to the three rotary reels 40 has been performed. If it is determined that the stop switch 50 corresponding to the three rotary reels 40 is not operated, the process returns to step 103. On the other hand, if it is determined that the operation of the stop switch 50 corresponding to the three rotary reels 40 has been performed, the process proceeds to the next step 106.
In step 106, it is determined whether or not the winning symbols corresponding to the winning flag are aligned on the winning effective line while the winning flag is established, that is, whether or not winning has been won. If it is determined that a prize has been won, the process proceeds to the next step 107.

In step 107, a predetermined winning process such as paying out medals corresponding to the winning symbol and shifting to a special game is performed. Then, the game ends.
If it is determined in step 106 that no winning has been made, step 107 is skipped and the game ends.
The lottery process in step 101 described above will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
In step 200, random numbers are extracted by random number extraction means 112 from random numbers generated by random number generation means 111 of winning lottery means 110. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 201.
In step 201, the extracted random number is stored inside the random number extraction means 112. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 202.

In step 202, the determination unit 114 compares the extracted random number with the winning determination area data in the winning determination table 113. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 203.
In step 203, the determination unit 114 determines in which region of the winning determination table 113 the extracted random number is included, and the evaluation of the lottery process is determined. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 204.
In step 204, a predetermined symbol kicking and a predetermined symbol pull-in are set. Then, the lottery process ends.
The rotation stop process of the rotating reel 40 in step 104 will be described with reference to FIG.

In step 300, it is determined whether or not the kick setting has been achieved for a predetermined symbol. And when it determines with the setting of kicking of a predetermined symbol not having been achieved, it progresses to the following step 301. FIG.
In step 301, the rotary reel 40 is rotated by one symbol. That is, kicking is performed for one symbol. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 302.
In step 302, it is determined whether or not the number of symbols rotated by the rotary reel 40 by one symbol described above corresponds to the fourth symbol after the stop switch 50 is operated. Then, after the stop switch 50 is operated, when the number of symbols shifted by rotating the rotary reel 40 by one symbol is the fourth, the process proceeds to the next step 303.

In step 303, the rotation of the rotary reel 40 is stopped. Thus, the operation of the slot machine 10 from the medal insertion to the rotation stop of the rotary reel 40 is completed.
If it is determined in step 300 that the predetermined symbol kick setting has been achieved, the process proceeds to the next step 304.
In step 304, it is determined whether or not the drawing is set for any of the symbols. If it is determined that the drawing is set for any of the symbols, the process proceeds to the next step 305.
In step 305, it is determined whether the pull-in setting has been achieved. When it is determined that the pull-in setting has been achieved, the process proceeds to the next step 303.

If it is determined in step 304 that no drawing is set for any symbol, the process proceeds to step 303.
If it is determined in step 305 that the pull-in setting has not been achieved, the process proceeds to step 301.
In step 302, after the stop switch 50 is operated, if the number of symbols shifted by rotating the rotary reel 40 one by one is not the fourth, the process returns to step 300.
Here, the stop processing of the rotary reel 40 has been described in steps 301 to 305, but this example is an example of so-called minimum pull-in stop control, and conversely, maximum pull-in stop control may be used. Furthermore, for example, a method of so-called table stop control in which the stop position of the rotary reel 40 is determined according to a predetermined table at the timing of pressing the stop switch 50 may be used.

(Direction execution)
Next, control of effect determination and effect execution by the effect control device 22 will be described based on the flow of FIGS. 6 and 7.
First, in step 400 of FIG. 6, it is determined whether or not the start switch 30 is turned on. If the start switch 30 is not turned on, the process returns to step 400. If the start switch 30 is turned on, the process proceeds to the next step 401.
In step 401, rewriting selection processing of the effect lottery table 161 is performed. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 402.

In step 402, an effect execution lottery is performed using the selected effect lottery table 161. In the lottery process, similar to the lottery process of the winning lottery means 110, the random number of the effect random number generating means is acquired and the obtained random number value is compared with the effect lottery table 161 to determine the corresponding effect area. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 403.
In step 403, it is determined whether or not the effect has been executed as a result of the lottery. If the effect is not executed, the control is terminated. When the effect is executed, the process proceeds to the next step 404.
In step 404, it is determined whether or not the effect determined to be executed is a confirmed effect. Specifically, it is determined whether or not execution is determined by lottery at the time of BB winning. If the determined effect is a confirmed effect, the process proceeds to the next step 405.

In step 405, the execution effect storage means 150 stores the executed effect. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 406.
If it is determined in step 404 that the determined effect is not a final effect, the process skips step 405 and proceeds to step 406.
In step 406, execution processing of the determined effect is performed. Then, the control of effect determination and effect execution ends.
In the above flow, the effect is determined by lottery when the start switch 30 is pressed. However, when the lever is pressed, for example, when the stop switch 50 is operated or when the rotary reel 40 is stopped, You may make a lottery.

The lottery table rewriting selection process in step 401 described above will be described based on the flow of FIG.
In step 500 of FIG. 7, it is determined whether or not the lottery result of the winning determination has won a predetermined winning combination. This can be confirmed, for example, by forming a flag establishment (different from flag carryover) signal from the game control device 21 when the winning flag is established. If the predetermined winning combination is won, the process proceeds to the next step 501.
In step 501, it is determined whether or not the execution effect storage means 150 stores a confirmed storage effect. If the determined memory effect is stored, the process proceeds to the next step 502.

In step 502, a corrected lottery ratio corresponding to the set value of the slot machine 10 is acquired. For example, if the setting is 1, the adjustment value 10 is acquired, and if the setting is 6, the adjustment value 20 is acquired (see FIG. 10A). Then, the process proceeds to the next step 503.
In step 503, it is determined whether or not the result of the winning determination is BB winning. If the BB is not won, the process proceeds to the next step 504.
In step 504, it is determined whether the BB flag is satisfied, that is, whether the BB is inside. This can be confirmed by forming the flag carry-over signal from the game control device 21 when the BB flag is established. If the BB flag is not established, the process proceeds to the next step 505.

In step 505, the general correction lottery table 161C is acquired. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 506.
In step 506, the correction lottery ratio corresponding to the set value is subtracted from the lottery value of the finalized storage effect in the general correction lottery table 161C. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 509.
If it is determined in step 503 that the result of the winning determination is BB winning, and if it is determined in step 504 that the BB flag is established, the process proceeds to step 507.
In step 507, a correction correction lottery table 161D is acquired. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 508.

In step 508, the correction lottery ratio corresponding to the set value is added to the lottery value of the final storage effect in the final correction lottery table 161D. Then, the process proceeds to step 509.
In step 509, the correction lottery table is rewritten in consideration of the addition / subtraction. That is, the winning area of each effect in the general correction lottery table 161C is rewritten and confirmed so that the lottery value subtracted from the lottery value of the finalized storage effect is added to the lottery values of other effects in proportion to the ratio. The winning area of each effect in the finalizing determination lottery table 161D is rewritten so that the lottery value added to the lottery value of the storage effect is distributed and subtracted according to the ratio from the lottery values of the other effects. Then, the lottery table rewriting selection process ends.

If the predetermined winning combination is not won in step 500, and if the finalized storage effect is not stored in step 501, the process proceeds to step 510.
In step 510, a normal lottery table is acquired according to the lottery result. That is, either the general normal lottery table 161A or the confirmation normal lottery table 161B is acquired according to the lottery result. Further, although not particularly illustrated, when the lottery result is a loss, an effect lottery table for the loss is acquired. Then, the lottery table rewriting selection process ends.
Although omitted in the above flow, when the BB wins, although not particularly shown, an effect lottery table for the BB game is selected. The rewriting may be continued even during the BB game. In rewriting during the BB game, the lottery value in the general correction lottery table 161C is subtracted.

Also, in the above flow, since the decision correction lottery table 161D is rewritten even during the BB flag carry-over game, when the area of the finalized storage effect is narrow (when the initial lottery probability is low and lottery table rewrite processing) Even if the area is narrowed as a result of rewriting due to the), it is possible to regain the winning area to some extent between the BB winning and the next BB winning, and the effect can be won again at the next BB winning It increases the nature.
As described above, according to the present embodiment, when there is a difference in the reliability of notification depending on the type of effect, even when an effect with low reliability is executed at the time of winning the BB, At the time of winning the BB, the winning area of the effect becomes wider for each game, making it easier to select the effect, and conversely, when winning other winning roles, the winning area of the effect becomes narrower for each win. It becomes difficult to select a production. If the production is continuously won at the time of winning the BB, the winning area of the same production will change further. Finally, when the role other than BB is won, the performance will not be performed at all, and at the time of winning the BB, Production will be performed. In other words, an effect that originally had a low reliability as an effect of notifying the BB winning will change to one having a high reliability as the game is digested.

Therefore, even if a player who plays a game on the platform for the first time happens to have a low-reliability performance by chance when the BB is won, It can be felt that it is a high performance. Moreover, since the setting of the correction lottery table is reset when the power of the slot machine 10 is turned off, it is possible to change an effect that can be expected in units of one day on the same machine.
Furthermore, in the present embodiment, since the corrected lottery ratio is defined according to the setting of the slot machine 10, an effect that is relatively low in reliability (appearance rate is low) in a strategy book or the like is BB. If this is done at the time of winning (this can be seen when the BB wins in a later game), whether the setting of the slot machine 10 is high or not depending on whether or not the presentation will be done at the second BB winning It is possible to predict whether it is low.

  In the above-described embodiment, the effect at the time of BB winning is made easier to appear at the time of the next BB winning, but the effect performed between the BB winning and the BB winning is performed at the next BB winning. It may be formed so as to make it easier to appear between BB and BB winning. In this case, the determination of the finalized storage effect stored in the execution effect storage unit 150 is, for example, to store the effect executed n times (n is a positive integer including 0) from the game related to the BB winning. Can do. The n value may be determined in advance or may be determined by lottery. Alternatively, the n value may be determined according to the set value of the slot machine 10. Then, as the effect lottery table 161, in addition to what has been described in the above embodiment, a determination normal table and a determination correction table may be provided for determining an effect to be performed between BB winning and BB winning.

  In the above-described embodiment, the correction table once rewritten is reset when the power is turned off. However, for example, the effect area where the correction lottery table 161B for confirmation is 0% in the lottery area. After that, the effect is no longer performed as a confirmed effect (the execution effect storage means 150 does not store it as a confirmed memory effect, so the region is not added to the fixed correction lottery table 161B). Conversely, there is a fixed correction lottery table 161B. If the production area occupies 100% of the lottery area, the final production will be the only production. When such a state is reached in a short period from the start of the game, there is a problem that the range of effect selection is limited. Therefore, for example, the correction lottery table may be initialized when a predetermined number of BB games start or end, or when a predetermined number of games are digested or a predetermined time elapses.

Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the corrected lottery ratio is defined according to the setting of the slot machine 10, but the present invention includes other methods than this setting method. For example, you may prescribe | regulate according to the kind of effect, and may prescribe | regulate for every setting value according to the kind of effect. Alternatively, it may be set as appropriate at the game store by operating a change switch provided in the gaming machine, or may be determined in advance.
(Second embodiment)
In the second embodiment, an effect executed during BB is performed at the time of BB winning after BB ends.

(Explanation of drawings)
FIGS. 15 to 13 show the second embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 15 is a flowchart of effect execution control, FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing lottery table rewriting selection processing, and FIG. It is a conceptual diagram. 1 to 5 showing the first embodiment are common to the present embodiment.
Here, since the basic configuration of the slot machine 10 in the second embodiment is the same as that described in the first embodiment, the description of the overlapping parts is omitted, and the features of the present embodiment Only the point will be described.

(Production control device 21)
The effect control device 21 has the following means (1) to (4) as in the first embodiment.
(1) Production data storage means 140
(2) Execution effect storage means 150
(3) Production lottery means 160
(4) Production execution means 170
(Production data storage means 140)
The effect data storage means 140 is the same as in the first embodiment.

In the present embodiment, the appearance rate of a single effect such as a specific sound (including music) and a specific image (including moving images) is changed.
(Execution effect storage means 150)
In the present embodiment, the execution effect storage means 150 stores an index of effect data relating to the effect whose execution is determined by the effect lottery at the specific time during the BB game (that is, executed at the specific time). Here, the specific time during the BB game can be determined in advance according to the game state, such as when the number of games from the start of the BB game becomes a specific number, or when the payout medal becomes a specific number. Or you may determine by the lottery for determining specific time. Alternatively, it may be determined according to the setting of the slot machine 10.

Furthermore, at the time of specification, it may be a fixed game section. For example, it can be during a predetermined game from the time when the number of games from the start of the BB game reaches a specific number. The predetermined number of games may be determined in advance or may be determined by lottery. Alternatively, it may be determined according to the setting of the slot machine 10. As described above, if the specific time is set as a certain section, the player can easily remember the performance performed during the BB, and the notification effect due to the same performance being performed at the next BB winning is enhanced.
The execution effect storage means 150 updates the stored data every time the effect is determined. Therefore, when the production is not performed at the specific time, the production performed at the previous specific time is stored as it is.

(Direction lottery means 160)
The effect lottery means 160 has the following means (1) to (3) as in the first embodiment.
(1) Production lottery table 161
(2) Lottery probability correction means 162
(3) Determination means 163
(Direction lottery table 161)
Also in the present embodiment, as in the first embodiment, a normal lottery table in which area data cannot be rewritten and a correction lottery table in which area data can be rewritten are provided.

  The normal lottery table is provided with a general normal lottery table 161E used during normal games excluding the inside of the BB, and a specific time normal lottery table 161F used during specific times during the BB game. FIG. 17A shows the general-purpose normal lottery table 161E, and FIG. 17B shows the specific-time normal lottery table 161F. Here, “a”, “b”, “c”, and “d” each represent a single effect. When the effect a is won, for example, the sound a is output, and when the effect b is selected, the sound b is output. When the effect c or d is won, the sound c or d is set to be output, respectively. Further, “None” is a loss area, and no production is performed.

These production areas are set in different ranges for the general normal lottery table 161E and the specific time normal lottery table 161F. That is, in the general normal lottery table 161E, the areas of effects a to d are included at the same rate, and the specific time normal lottery table 161F includes the areas of effects a to c at the same rate. The effect d is performed only during the normal game, and the effects a to c are performed with a probability of approximately 1/3 when specified during the BB game.
As the corrected lottery table, a corrected lottery table 161G is provided. In the present embodiment, a single correction lottery table is provided. As shown in FIG. 17C, the corrected lottery table 161G has the same configuration as the general regular lottery table 161E in the initial state.

The illustrated effect lottery table 161 is an example, and is not limited to such a configuration. For example, a BB normal lottery table used during the BB game may be provided as the normal lottery table.
(Lottery probability correction means 162)
When the lottery probability correction means 162 stores the effect (hereinafter referred to as a specific memory effect) performed at a specific time during the previous BB game in the execution effect storage means 150, if the lottery result is not BB winning, By subtracting a predetermined lottery correction ratio from the winning area related to the specific memory effect on the correction lottery table 161G, the lottery probability is corrected so that it is difficult for the specific memory effect to appear when it is not BB winning, When the lottery result is BB winning, the rewritten corrected lottery table 161G is returned to the initial value, and specified in the case of BB winning by adding a predetermined lottery correction ratio to the winning area related to the specific storage effect. The lottery probability is corrected so that the memory effect is likely to appear.

Here, the lottery correction ratio may be determined according to the set value of the slot machine 10 as in the first embodiment, or set in advance as a constant value regardless of the set value. Also good. The lottery table rewriting method is the same as that described in the first embodiment.
(Determination means 163)
The determination unit 163 is the same as that in the first embodiment.
(Direction execution means 170)
The effect execution means 170 is the same as in the first embodiment.
Then, the effect execution means 170 determines whether or not it corresponds to a specific time in the BB game, and if a predetermined effect is executed at the time of specification, the data specifying the effect is specified in the execution effect storage means 150 Output as a production execution signal.

(Direction execution)
Next, control of effect determination and effect execution by the effect control device 22 will be described based on the flow of FIGS. 15 and 16.
First, in step 600 of FIG. 15, it is determined whether or not the start switch 30 is turned on. If the start switch 30 is not turned on, the process returns to step 600. If the start switch 30 is turned on, the process proceeds to the next step 601.
In step 601, it is determined whether or not a BB game is in progress. If it is not during the BB game, the process proceeds to the next step 602.

In step 602, rewriting selection processing of the effect lottery table 161 is performed. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 603.
In step 603, an effect execution lottery is performed using the selected effect lottery table 161. In the lottery process, similar to the lottery process of the winning lottery means 110, the random number of the effect random number generating means is acquired and the obtained random number value is compared with the effect lottery table 161 to determine the corresponding effect area. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 604.
In step 604, it is determined whether or not an effect has been executed as a result of the lottery. If the effect is not executed, the control is terminated. When the effect is executed, the process proceeds to the next step 605.

In step 605, execution processing of the determined effect is performed. Then, the control of effect determination and effect execution ends.
If it is determined in step 601 that the BB game is being played, the process proceeds to step 606.
In step 606, it is determined whether or not it corresponds to a specific time. For example, it is determined whether or not the number of games has reached a predetermined number, whether or not the number of payout medals has reached a predetermined number (has exceeded). If it does not correspond to the specific time, the process returns to step 606, and if it corresponds to the specific time, the process proceeds to the next step 607.

In step 607, an effect execution lottery is performed using the specific time normal lottery table 161F. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 608.
In step 608, the execution effect storage means 150 stores the executed effect. Then, the process proceeds to Step 605.
The lottery table rewriting selection process in step 602 described above will be described based on the flow of FIG.
In step 700 of FIG. 16, it is determined whether or not the execution effect storage means 150 stores the specific storage effect. If the specific memory effect is stored, the process proceeds to the next step 701.

In step 701, the correction lottery table 161G is acquired. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 702.
In step 702, a predetermined lottery correction ratio is acquired. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 703.
In step 703, it is determined whether or not the winning determination result is BB winning. If the BB is not won, the process proceeds to the next step 704.
In step 704, it is determined whether the BB flag is satisfied, that is, whether the BB is inside. If the BB flag is not established, the process proceeds to the next step 705.

In step 705, a predetermined correction lottery ratio is subtracted from the lottery value of the specific storage effect in the correction lottery table 161G. For example, when the specific storage effect is a and the correction lottery ratio subtraction value is 20, as shown in FIG. 17D, the lottery value of the effect a is subtracted by 20%. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 708.
If it is determined in step 703 that the winning determination result is BB winning, the process proceeds to step 706.
In step 706, the correction lottery table 161G is initialized. That is, when the correction lottery table 161G has been rewritten up to the previous game, all the rewritten areas are returned to the initial state. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 707.

If the BB flag is established in step 704, the process also proceeds to step 707.
In step 707, a predetermined correction lottery ratio is added to the lottery value of the specific storage effect in the correction lottery table 161G. For example, when the specific storage effect is a and the addition value of the corrected lottery ratio is 100, the lottery value of the effect a is added by 100% as shown in FIG. Then, the process proceeds to Step 708.
In step 708, the correction lottery table 161G is rewritten in consideration of the addition / subtraction. That is, the lottery value subtracted from the lottery value of the specific memory effect is added in a distributed manner to the lottery values of other effects according to the ratio, or the lottery value added to the lottery value of the specific memory effect is The winning area of each effect in the correction lottery table 161G is rewritten so that the lottery values of other effects are distributed and reduced according to the ratio. Then, the lottery table rewriting selection process ends.

In step 700, if the execution effect storage means 150 does not store the specific storage effect, the process proceeds to step 710.
In step 710, a normal lottery table corresponding to the gaming state is acquired. That is, the normal lottery table 161E for general use is acquired during the normal game, and the normal lottery table for BB (not shown) is acquired during the BB game. Then, the lottery table rewriting selection process ends.
In this way, in the above flow, the effect performed at a specific time in the BB is gradually narrowed during the normal game, and the probability that the effect is performed decreases. However, when BB is won, the correction lottery table 161G is reset, and this time, the area of the effect performed at the specific time increases. Since the area gradually expands inside the BB, the longer the period from BB winning to BB winning, the higher the probability that a specific memory effect will be performed. In other words, if a sound that has been heard during the BB or music that was playing during the BB frequently appears during a normal game, the BB is likely to be elected.

In other words, according to the present embodiment, even if the notification itself does not originally express the reliability, the reliability for the BB winning is added to the performance as the game is digested. Moreover, even if the effect is set to appear with the same probability at the time of specification in the BB game, the effect of notifying the next BB winning is different for each BB. Therefore, the production that can be expected on the same platform can be changed, and the production can be prevented from becoming monotonous.
Further, when the corrected lottery ratio is defined in accordance with the setting of the slot machine 10, depending on whether or not the effect performed during the previous BB frequently appears at the time of the second BB winning, It is possible to predict whether the setting is high or low.

In the above-described embodiment, the effect performed during the BB game is made easier to appear between the next BB win and the BB winning, but the effect performed during the BB game is You may form so that it may appear easily at the next BB winning.
As described above, according to the present invention, by changing the appearance rate of an effect that has appeared once in subsequent games, the reliability of the effect can be improved or the reliability of the effect can be increased. . Further, the appearance rate of the effect can be changed by providing a plurality of effect lottery tables with different winning areas. In the present invention, the correction lottery table is formed to be rewritable, and the lottery value of the predetermined effect Is added or subtracted to change the lottery area, so that the lottery probability can be changed flexibly without providing a plurality of lottery tables.

In the first and second embodiments described above, the special game state is the BB game. However, the following effects are performed between the RB winning and the RB game based on the RB winning. You may make it appear easily between RB winning and RB winning. The special game state is not limited to the BB game and the RB game, and is a game set as a game segment that is advantageous as compared to a normal game that is started by obtaining a predetermined generation condition and ending by satisfying a predetermined end trigger. Any game can be used.
Furthermore, in the first and second embodiments described above, the lottery value related to the storage effect in the effect lottery table is subtracted to make it difficult for the memory effect to appear, and the lottery value related to the memory effect is added to create the memory effect. Although it was made easy to appear, if the appearance rate of the memory effect changes as a result, it becomes difficult to appear the memory effect by adding lottery values related to effects other than the memory effect of the effect lottery table, You may make it easy to produce productions other than a memory production by subtracting the lottery value concerning a memory production.

The present invention can also be applied to gaming machines other than slot machines. For example, the present invention can be applied to a parrot gaming machine that uses a game ball (pachinko ball) as a game medium to perform a game similar to a slot machine.
The present invention can also be applied to pachinko gaming machines. For example, in a pachinko game machine called a digital machine, when using a variable display unit such as a liquid crystal screen to display a display (for example, reach display) that suggests winning of a big hit game, when determining those displays by lottery, It is possible to rewrite the lottery table for production as in the invention and change the reliability of the display.
