  The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and has realized an assist time that does not get bored of the player by diversifying the game performance by the notification effect (AT), and has improved the interest of the game. It is intended to provide a slot machine with special characteristics.

The present invention includes a symbol variation display means including a plurality of variation display units that vary and display a plurality of types of symbols according to a predetermined arrangement in the symbol display area;
Internal lottery means for executing an internal lottery for determining an internal winning combination from a plurality of types in accordance with the game start operation and establishing an internal winning flag corresponding to the determined internal winning combination;
A stop operation means operated by a player to stop the display of the variation of the symbol by the symbol variation display means;
Display control means for drawing a symbol corresponding to the internal winning flag within a predetermined pull-in range and stopping and displaying it in a symbol display area when the stop operation means is operated;
Winning determination means for determining whether or not a combination of symbols stopped and displayed along the winning line set in the symbol display area is a predetermined winning symbol;
Profit granting means for granting a player a profit corresponding to the winning symbol when the winning determining unit determines that the winning symbol is a winning symbol;
Effect pattern determining means for selectively determining any of a plurality of types of effect patterns;
Effect means for executing a notification effect by the effect pattern determined by the effect pattern determining means,
In the plurality of types of winning combinations, the winning symbols are arranged in the first winning combination and at least one of the varying display portions in which the symbols constituting the winning symbol in the plurality of variation display portions are arranged at intervals within the drawing range. A second part in which a part or all of the symbols constituting is arranged with an interval wider than the pull-in range is included,
The internal lottery means may determine the first combination and the second combination as an internal winning combination at the same time,
The display control means is a stop operation means corresponding to a specific variation display section which is the specific variation display section, and the first combination and the second combination are simultaneously determined as the internal winning combination by the internal lottery section. Is operated for the first time, the second combination symbol that constitutes the winning symbol corresponding to the second combination is stopped and displayed in the symbol display area, and then each of the remaining variable display portions is displayed. When the stop operation means is operated, the symbol is stopped and displayed so that the winning symbol corresponding to the first combination is not stopped and displayed on the winning line,
Stop operation means corresponding to the non-specific variation display unit which is the variation display unit excluding the specific variation display unit, wherein the first combination and the second combination are simultaneously determined as the internal winning combination by the internal lottery unit Is first operated, the first symbol that is the symbol constituting the winning symbol corresponding to the first symbol is stopped and displayed in the symbol display area, and then each of the remaining variable display portions is displayed. When the stop operation means is operated, the symbol is stopped and displayed so that the winning symbol corresponding to the first combination is displayed on the winning line,
The effect pattern determining means includes a first effect pattern that suggests the non-specific variation display section when the first winning combination and the second winning combination are simultaneously determined as an internal winning combination by the internal lottery means, One of the plurality of types of effect patterns including a second effect pattern that suggests a winning symbol corresponding to the second combination is selectively determined (Claim 1).

  In the slot machine of the present invention, when the first combination and the second combination are determined as the internal winning combination at the same time, the stop operation unit corresponding to the specific variation display unit is operated first. When the second combination symbol is stopped and displayed, and each stop operation means corresponding to the remaining variable display unit is operated, the winning symbol corresponding to the first combination is displayed on the winning line. Stop displaying symbols so that they are not stopped. On the other hand, when the stop operation means corresponding to the non-specific fluctuation display section is first operated, the first role symbol is stopped and displayed, and then each stop operation means corresponding to the remaining fluctuation display sections is operated. In such a case, the symbol is stopped and displayed so that the winning symbol corresponding to the first combination is stopped and displayed on the winning line.

  The slot machine includes the effect pattern determining means that selectively determines one of the plurality of types of effect patterns, and the effect means that executes an effect based on the effect pattern determined by the effect pattern determining means. . The production pattern determination means suggests which variation display unit the non-specific variation display unit is when the first combination and the second combination are determined as an internal winning combination at the same time. One of the plurality of types of effect patterns including the effect pattern and the second effect pattern suggesting a winning symbol corresponding to the second combination is selectively determined.

  When the notification effect by the first effect pattern is executed in the game of the slot machine, if the stop operation means corresponding to the non-specific variation display unit is first stopped according to the first effect pattern, It is possible to make the first combination winning by stopping and displaying the first combination symbol relatively easily without the need for pressing in the variation display section. In addition, when the effect by the second effect pattern is executed, the stop operation means corresponding to the specific variation display unit is first stopped, and thereafter, another variation display unit (the non-specific variation display unit) If the second role symbol can be stopped by the above, the second role can be won.

  As described above, in the slot machine of the present invention, at least two types of effect patterns are set when the first combination and the second combination are simultaneously determined as internal winning combinations. The difficulty level for obtaining a prize according to the effect pattern differs between when the first effect pattern is executed and when the second effect pattern is executed. Thus, in the game of the slot machine, various games are realized according to the type of effect pattern to be executed.

  As described above, the slot machine of the present invention is a gaming machine with excellent characteristics that realizes an assist time that does not bore the player by diversifying the game performance by the notification effect and enhances the interest of the game.

  The slot machine of the present invention may be a slot machine in a narrow sense using medals and coins as game media, or a parrot (R) using pachinko balls as game media.

In addition, the variation display unit serving as the specific variation display unit is determined according to the second combination when the first combination and the second combination are simultaneously determined as the internal winning combination by the internal lottery means,
In the specific variation display section, when the second role symbols are all arranged at intervals within the pull-in range and the second role symbols are stopped and displayed, the first role symbols are not stopped and displayed. It is preferable that the symbols are arranged in (Claim 2).

  In this case, in the specific fluctuation display section, the second symbol or the first symbol is alternatively stopped and displayed depending on whether or not the corresponding stop operation means is first stopped. It will be.

Further, the effect pattern determining means is configured to determine the effect pattern by lottery,
The effect means starts a notification effect execution period by the effect pattern determined by the effect pattern determination means when a predetermined generation condition is satisfied, and sets a notification effect execution period when a predetermined end condition is satisfied. Configured to exit,
It is preferable that a privilege granting unit for granting a privilege according to a game result within the execution period of the notification effect is provided when the predetermined end condition is satisfied within a predetermined time (Claim 3).

  In this case, when the predetermined end condition is satisfied within the predetermined time and the execution period of the notification effect is completed, the privilege can be received according to the game result within the execution period of the notification effect. become. A speedy gaming state full of tension is realized by adding a time-challenge element to the game within the execution period of the notification effect, and the entertainment of the game can be further improved.

  Here, the first role is a role that does not require so-called pressing, while the second role is a role that requires so-called pressing. That is, the second combination is more difficult to win than the first combination. When the first effect pattern is executed, the first combination can be won simply by following the first effect pattern, while when the second effect pattern is executed, the second combination pattern is awaited. It takes a certain amount of time. Therefore, the difficulty level for satisfying the predetermined end condition can be varied within the predetermined time according to the ratio of the first effect pattern and the second effect pattern, and the game can be changed.

  For example, the generation of a replay time may be set as the predetermined generation condition, and the end of the replay time may be set as the predetermined end condition. In this case, on the premise that the replay time is ended within the predetermined time, the privilege is given according to the game result during the replay time (informing effect execution period).

Further, the effect pattern determining means is configured to determine the effect pattern by lottery,
The effect unit is configured to execute a notification effect by the effect pattern determined by the effect pattern determination unit a predetermined number of times when a predetermined generation condition is satisfied,
Among the predetermined number of times, there is provided a privilege granting unit for granting a privilege according to the number of times determined by the winning determination unit that the winning symbol corresponding to the first role or the second role is stopped and displayed. Preferred (claim 4).

  As described above, the difficulty level is different between the case where the first combination is won according to the first effect pattern and the case where the second combination is won according to the second effect pattern. Therefore, even if the number of determinations of the stop display of the winning symbol corresponding to the first role or the second role is the same, the privilege is given according to the ratio of the first effect pattern and the second effect pattern. The difficulty level to obtain can be changed, and the game can be changed.

Moreover, it is preferable that the said effect pattern determination means determines the kind of said effect pattern according to the game result in a specific game period (Claim 5).
In this case, for example, an effect pattern can be determined according to a game result in a specific game period such as a bonus game, so that it is possible to enhance the interest of the game in the specific game period.

In addition, it is preferable that a switching operation means operated by a player to switch the effect pattern is provided.
In this case, the player of the slot machine can select one of the exercise patterns according to the taste and the skill level, and the fun of the game can be further improved.

The embodiment of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the following examples.
Example 1
This example is an example related to the slot machine 1 in which the first combination and the second combination in which the winning probability is increased by the notification effect (AT) by the effect pattern is set. The contents will be described with reference to FIGS.

  First, the external configuration of the slot machine 1 of this example will be described with reference to FIG. In the slot machine 1, the front portion facing the player is formed by a front frame body 10 having a substantially rectangular symbol display window 11 provided substantially at the center. The front frame 10 is configured by arranging a liquid crystal display unit 53, a pair of left and right speakers 520, and a decorative lamp unit 56 on the upper side of the symbol display window 11. A base 100 that forms the base of the slot machine 1 is formed below the symbol display window 11. On the right side of the symbol display window 11, a payout number display unit 551 for displaying the medal payout amount and a credit display unit 552 for displaying the credit amount are arranged.

  The base portion 100 is formed so as to protrude relative to the symbol display window 11 located behind the player. The base portion 100 has a table-like operation surface 14 at the upper end adjacent to the symbol display window 11, a medal tray 15 for paying out medals at the lower end, and between the operation surface 14 and the medal tray 15. An operation panel 13 is provided.

  On the operation surface 14, a bet button 64 for inserting a medal credited (stored) by a credit function, a settlement button 65 for paying out a credited medal, and a medal insertion for directly inserting a medal A mouth 630 is arranged. On the operation panel 13, a start lever 62 (game start operation means) for starting symbol variation on the reel 21 (variation display portion) and a stop button 61 (stop operation means) for stopping symbol variation are arranged. Has been.

  The bet button 64 is a button for inserting three medals out of the credited medals. The bet button 64 generates a 3-bet signal indicating the insertion number 3. However, when the remaining credit is 2 or 1, a 2-bet signal or 1-bet signal is generated, and when the credit is zero, a bet signal is not generated.

  The start lever 62 is an operation lever that generates a game start signal that is a control signal for the reel 21 in accordance with the player's operation. In the slot machine 1, the start lever 62 is set to the valid state on the premise that a medal is inserted directly or a medal is inserted by operating the bet button 64. When the replay winning combination is won, a state where a medal is directly inserted or a medal is automatically inserted even if no betting operation is performed, that is, a state where the next game can be started can be set.

  The symbol display window 11 is a display window including symbol display areas 110L, C, and R. Each of the symbol display areas 110L, C, and R is a symbol display area for three symbols. In the entire symbol display window 11, symbol display regions for nine symbols arranged in a two-dimensional matrix composed of three rows and three columns are formed. The symbol display window 11 is formed of a transparent resin plate so that the symbol 20 can be seen from the player side. In the symbol display area in which nine symbols 20 are arranged in a two-dimensional matrix, winning lines 211 to 215 that are the arrangement direction of winning symbols to be awarded are set. As shown in FIG. 2, the winning lines in this example are diagonal winning lines 212 and 213, a middle horizontal winning line 211, a V-shaped winning line 214, and an inverted V-shaped winning line 215. It is composed of 5 irregular lines. Therefore, in the symbol display areas 110L and 110R, all the three symbols each hit the symbol on the winning line, while in the symbol display area 110C, only one symbol in the middle of the three symbols hits the symbol on the winning line.

  Reels 21L, C, and R constituting the symbol variation display means 2 are arranged on the back side of the symbol display areas 110L, C, and R, respectively. Each of the reels 21L, C, and R is a rotary reel having a cylindrical shape and 21 symbols 20 arranged on the outer peripheral surface thereof at a substantially constant interval (see FIG. 5). The reel 21 may be an image-type reel that displays the symbols on the liquid crystal display in place of the rotary reel of this example.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the stop button 61 is an operation button that generates a fluctuation stop signal that is a control signal of the reel 21 in accordance with a player's operation. The stop button 61 of this example is a combination of a left stop button 61L corresponding to the left reel 21L, a middle stop button 61C corresponding to the middle reel 21C, and a right stop button 61R corresponding to the right reel 21R.

The speaker 520 and the decorative lamp unit 56 are rendering means for rendering a game with sound or light.
The payout number display unit 551 is a display unit that displays the number of medals paid out at the time of winning a prize.
The credit display unit 552 is a display unit that displays the number of medals credited (stored) by the credit function.

  The liquid crystal display unit 53 includes a liquid crystal display. The liquid crystal display unit 53 includes various effects screens such as the first effect pattern or the second effect pattern when the first combination (15-sheet combination A) and the second combination (15-sheet combination B to D) are simultaneously won. The effect screen can be displayed. As will be described in detail later, the first effect pattern is a notification effect (AT) for winning the first combination. The second performance pattern is an AT for winning the second combination.

  Next, the role, internal winning combination, and winning combination of the slot machine 1 of this example will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5, and the gaming property of the slot machine 1 will be described with reference to FIG. 6. In the slot machine 1 of this example, as shown in FIG. 3, a bonus combination, a plurality of types of small combinations including 15-sheet combinations A to D, and a replay combination are set. In FIG. 3, the name of each combination is shown in the left column, the winning symbol that is a combination of symbols 20 corresponding to each symbol is shown in the middle column, and the privilege (profit) given to the player according to the winning is shown in the right column. It is.

  In the slot machine 1, the winning combination internally by the internal lottery means 41 becomes the internal winning combination. When the winning symbol corresponding to the internal winning combination is established along the winning line, the winning combination becomes the winning combination. In this example, as described above, of the four types of 15-sheet combinations, the 15-sheet combination A is the first combination and the 15-sheet combinations B to D are the second combination.

As the first symbol constituting the winning symbol of the 15th symbol A that is the first symbol, the symbol “orange” is set for each of the reels 21L, C, and R. The second winning symbols constituting the winning symbols of the 15 winning combinations BD which are the second winning combination are different between the specific reel (specific variation display portion) and the non-specific reel (non-specific variation display portion). The second symbol of the specific reel (for the 15-card roles B, C, and D, respectively, the right reel 21R, the middle reel 21C, and the left reel 21L) is “R”. One of three types of symbols “BAR” is set as the second symbol in the non-specific reel.

  For example, as illustrated in FIG. 4, the 15 winning combination B winning symbols include “R” in the right reel 21 </ b> R that is a specific reel, and three types in a left reel 21 </ b> L and a middle reel 21 </ b> C that are non-specific reels There are nine types of winning symbols that are a combination of nine “BAR” combinations. In the slot machine 1 of this example, nine types of 15 winning combinations B with different winning symbols can be individually won internally. Similarly, there are nine types of winning symbols for the 15-card combination C (D), and these nine types of 15-card combination C (D) can be individually won internally.

Here, with reference to the symbol arrangement of FIG. 5, the drawing-in stoppage of the 15 symbol combination will be described.
In the right reel 21R (left reel 21L), the interval between “orange” and “R” is set to 2 symbols or more. Therefore, on the right reel 21R (left reel 21L), “orange” and the symbol “R” are simultaneously stopped and displayed in the symbol display area 110R (L) and are not simultaneously displayed on the winning line.

  Further, in the right reel 21R (left reel 21L), the maximum interval between the “orange” that is the first symbol and the “R” that is the second symbol of the 15-piece role B (D) is 6 symbols. It has become. Here, in the slot machine 1 of this example, as described later, a range corresponding to four symbols is set as a pull-in range when the reel 21 is stopped. Further, as described above, in the symbol display area 110R (L), a winning line is set over the upper, middle and lower three symbols. Therefore, in the right reel 21R (left reel 21L), which is the specific reel of the 15-sheet combination B (D), when the second combination 15-sheet combination B (D) is won internally, “R” is won. It will be possible to stop display on the line. Also, if the 15-piece combination B (D) does not win internally and the 15-piece combination A which is the first combination wins internally, the right reel 21R (left reel 21L) becomes a non-specific reel and “orange” is displayed. It will be possible to stop display on the winning line.

  In the middle reel 21 </ b> C, the maximum interval for each of “orange” as the first symbol and “R” as the second symbol of the 15-piece role C is 4 symbols. Here, in the slot machine 1 of this example, as described later, a range corresponding to four symbols is set as a pull-in range when the reel 21 is stopped. Therefore, when the 15-piece combination C, which is the second combination, is won internally, “R” can be stopped and displayed on the middle winning line of the middle reel 21C which is the specific reel of the 15-piece combination C. Further, when the 15-piece combination C is not won internally and the first 15-piece combination A is internally won, the middle reel 21C becomes a non-specific reel, and “orange” can be stopped and displayed on the winning line. Become.

Next, the playability of the slot machine 1 of this example will be described with reference to FIG. The slot machine 1 generates gaming states such as an RT0 state, an RT1 state, an RT2 state, an AT state, and a bonus state.
The AT state is a state in which the AT is executed when the 15 winning combination is won internally. In the slot machine 1, in addition to the simultaneous occurrence of the AT state in the RT2 state, the case where the AT state occurs in the RT0 state is set.

  The bonus state is a special game state that occurs when a bonus combination is won. The bonus state is a gaming state having the highest payout rate and very advantageous for the player. In the slot machine 1 of this example, there is a possibility that a bonus combination will be won during the occurrence of the RT0 state, the RT1 state, and the RT2 state. An end condition for the bonus state is that the number of medals paid out exceeds 365.

  The RT0 state is a gaming state in which the internal winning probability of the replay combination is set to 1/3, and occurs when the bonus state ends. When the replay combination wins during the occurrence of the RT0 state, the state shifts to the RT2 state, and when the 5-sheet combination wins, the state shifts to the RT1 state. In the RT0 state, the AT state may occur simultaneously.

  The RT1 state is a gaming state in which the internal winning probability of the replay combination is set to 1 / 7.3. This RT1 state is a disadvantageous gaming state in which the internal winning probability of the replay role is as low as 1 / 7.3 and the first and second effect patterns are not executed. This RT1 state can be terminated only in response to winning of a bonus combination.

  The RT2 state is a gaming state in which the internal winning probability of the replay combination is set to 1/3 and the AT state occurs simultaneously. In the RT2 state, the first or second effect pattern is executed every time an internal winning combination of 15 sheets occurs. The RT2 state ends when 20 games have elapsed and returns to the RT0 state.

  Next, the electrical configuration of the slot machine 1 of this example will be described with reference to FIG. For the main board 3 that controls the overall operation of the slot machine 1, in addition to the above-described configuration, the inserted medal detection unit 63 that detects medals inserted directly through the medal insertion slot 630 and the reel 21 together with the symbol variation display Various display units 55 including a reel driving unit 22 constituting the means 2, a reference position detecting unit 66 for detecting the rotational position of the reel 21, a medal paying unit 54 for paying out medals, a payout number display unit 551 and a credit number display unit 552. A set value operation unit 68 for setting a set value representing the player's advantage degree, an audio output unit 52 for controlling the speaker 520, and the like are electrically connected.

  The inserted medal detection unit 63 is a detection unit for a medal inserted directly from the medal insertion port 630. The inserted medal detection unit 63 outputs an insert signal every time a medal is inserted from the medal insertion unit 630. In the slot machine 1 of this example, when three medals are inserted by direct insertion of medals or operation of the bet button 64, the start lever 62 is set to an effective state and a new game can be started. It becomes a state.

The reel driving unit 22 includes a stepping motor (not shown) that can be controlled in units of steps, and is means for rotating the reel 21 by the rotational driving force of the stepping motor.
The reference position detection unit 66 is a detection unit that detects the passage of the reference position piece for each of the reels 21L, 21C, and R and outputs a detection signal.

The medal payout unit 54 is a payout unit that pays out a predetermined number (see FIG. 3) of medals to the medal tray 15 in accordance with winning.
The set value operation unit 68 is an operation unit for changing set values of 6 stages having different winning probabilities such as bonus combinations using the setting key 680.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the main board 3 has a CPU 31, a ROM 33 and a RAM 34 as memory means, an I / O unit 32 as an input / output interface, and a random number extraction unit 35 for extracting a random number for internal lottery. is doing. The CPU 31 executes a software program read from the ROM 33 to thereby receive a winning determination means 43 for determining a winning symbol, a display control means 42 for controlling the reel 21, an internal lottery means 41 for lottering an internal winning combination, and an internal winning combination. Flag control means 410 for controlling a corresponding internal winning flag, profit granting means 44 for giving a profit according to a winning, game state generating means 45 for generating various game states, and an effect pattern for determining the type of AT effect pattern The determining means 46, the effect means 47 for executing AT according to the effect pattern determined by the effect pattern determining means 46, and the first role (15-sheet role A) and the second role (15-sheet role B to the RT2 state occurrence period) D) Each function as the privilege grant means 48 which grants a privilege according to the number of winnings is realized.

As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the ROM 33 as the memory means includes an internal lottery table used by the internal lottery means 41 for the lottery of the internal winning combination, and an effect pattern lottery table used by the effect pattern determining means 46 for drawing the effect patterns. Is remembered.
As shown in FIG. 8, the internal lottery table is a data table that defines the range of winning random numbers for each combination among the random numbers for internal lottery from 0 to 65535. The internal lottery table includes an internal lottery table A applied to the RT0 state, an internal lottery table B applied to the RT1 state, an internal lottery table C applied to the RT2 state, and an internal lottery applied to the bonus state. There is Table D.

  The internal lottery tables A and C are internal lottery tables having the same specifications. In the internal lottery tables A and C, the simultaneous winning probability of 15 singles A / B / C, the simultaneous winning probability of 15 singles A / B / D, and the simultaneous winning probability of 15 singles A / C / D are all 1. / 12. In addition, the internal winning probability of the replay combination is 1/3, the internal winning probability of 5 combinations is 1/15, and the internal winning probability of the bonus combination is 1/400 to 1/300. The internal lottery table B is an internal lottery table in which the internal winning probability of the replay role is suppressed to 1 / 7.3 with respect to the internal lottery tables A and C, and the internal winning probability of other roles is the same specification. ing.

  In the internal lottery table D, most of the winning random numbers are set as winning random numbers for the 15-piece combination A. Therefore, the bonus state to which the lottery table D is applied is a very advantageous game state in which the 15 winning combination A can be won internally with a high probability. Further, in the slot machine 1 of the present example, the symbols of the reels 21 are arranged so that the symbol “orange” of the 15-piece role A can be surely drawn on the winning line and stopped as described above. Therefore, in the bonus state of the present example, the 15 winning combination A that has been internally won with high probability can win with high probability.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the effect pattern lottery table is a data table that defines the range of winning random numbers of the first and second effect patterns among the random numbers for effect lottery of 0 to 127. In this example, a plurality of types of effect pattern lottery tables are set in accordance with the number of winnings of three winning combinations in the most recent bonus state. In the effect pattern lottery table of this example, the higher the number of winning combinations of three in the most recent bonus state, the higher the winning random number ratio of the first effect pattern.

  Here, as will be described later, when AT according to the first effect pattern is executed, the 15-piece combination A, which is the first combination, can always be won according to the AT, and no pressing is required. On the other hand, when AT by the second effect pattern is executed, it is necessary to press one of the three types of “BAR” on the non-specific reel according to the type of the second winning combination. Therefore, the higher the ratio of the first effect pattern in the AT state execution period (corresponding to the execution period of the RT2 state in this example), the lower the difficulty of quickly winning the 15 winning combinations, and the second effect pattern The higher the ratio, the higher the difficulty of quickly winning 15 winning combinations.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the random number extraction unit 35 is a part that extracts a random number for internal lottery and a random number for effect pattern lottery. The random number extraction unit 35 extracts a random number from the integers generated by the random number generation unit 350. The random number generator 350 is a part that generates an integer belonging to a predetermined range. The random number extraction unit 35 extracts an integer generated by the random number generation unit 350 as a random number. As a random number extracted by the random number extraction unit 35, a random number for internal lottery in the range of 0 to 65535 for the internal lottery means 41 to draw the internal winning combination, and 0 for the effect pattern determining means 46 to lotter the effect pattern. There are random numbers for effect pattern lottery in the range of ~ 127. The random number extraction unit 35 extracts a random number for drawing the internal winning combination in response to a game start signal corresponding to the operation of the start lever 62. In addition, the random number extraction unit 35 extracts a random number for effect pattern lottery in response to the simultaneous winning of 15 winning combinations during the occurrence of the AT state.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the internal lottery means 41 is a means for determining an internal winning combination by internal lottery and establishing an internal winning flag corresponding to the internal winning combination. The internal lottery means 41 collates the random numbers for internal lottery against the winning random numbers of each combination specified in the internal lottery table, and determines the internal winning combination. The internal lottery means 41 selectively uses one of the internal lottery tables shown in FIG. 8 according to the gaming state.

  The flag control means 410 is a means for controlling an internal winning flag corresponding to the internal winning combination. The flag control means 410 sets the internal winning flag corresponding to the internal winning combination determined by the internal winning means 41 to the on state. The flag control means 410 is in an off state (zero) until the next game is started, regardless of whether or not the internal winning flag of a combination other than the bonus winning combination is won in the game in which the internal winning flag is established for the first time. Reset to). Therefore, if each combination other than the bonus combination is not won in the internal winning game, all will be missed. On the other hand, regarding the bonus combination flag which is an internal winning flag of the bonus combination, the established state of the internal winning flag is sequentially carried over to the next game until winning, and is reset to the off state according to the winning.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the display control means 42 is means for starting the symbol fluctuation of the reel 21 in response to the game start signal and stopping the symbol fluctuation of the reel 21 in response to the fluctuation stop signal. The display control means 42 inputs a control pulse to the stepping motor that constitutes the reel driving unit 22 and rotates the stepping motor by one step for each pulse. The display control means 42 counts the number of control pulses input to the reel driving unit 22, that is, the number of steps rotated by the stepping motor. In particular, the display control means 42 of this example counts the number of steps generated after the most recent detection signal by resetting the number of steps to zero each time the detection signal of the reference position piece of each reel 21 is fetched.

  The display control means 42 is a means for executing so-called pull-in control in which symbols within a predetermined pull-in range determined by rules (rules for game machine authorization, type verification, etc.) are stopped on the winning line. In this example, as described above, a range corresponding to four symbols is set as the pull-in range. The display control means 42 calculates the bita symbol, which is the symbol 20 instantaneously located on the winning line 211, based on the number of steps when the fluctuation stop signal is taken. Furthermore, a symbol to be stopped is determined from the total of five symbols of the four symbols belonging to the bita symbol and the drawing range. The display control means 42 pulls in the symbol to be stopped determined as described above and stops the reel 21.

  In the slot machine 1 of this example, as shown in FIG. 10, in the gaming state excluding the bonus state, any two types of the 15 combination BD which is the 2nd combination and 15 which is the 1st combination. A winning combination can be won simultaneously. As shown in the “Combination” column in the figure, the 15 winning combination pattern is a pattern in which 15 winning combinations A, B, and C are simultaneously winning, a 15 winning combination A, B, and D are simultaneously winning, and There is a pattern in which 15-player A / C / D wins simultaneously.

  Here, for the 15-piece roles B, C, and D, the right reel 21R, the middle reel 21C, and the left reel 21L are set as specific reels, respectively. Therefore, as shown in the “first stop distribution” column in the figure, the types of 15 winning combinations remaining with the possibility of winning are determined according to the reel 21 stopped first. For example, in the case where 15 winning combinations A, B, and C are won simultaneously, the possibility of winning 15 winning combinations A remains when the left reel 21L is first stopped. When the middle reel 21C is stopped for the first time, the possibility of winning a 15-sheet combination C remains. When the right reel 21R is stopped for the first time, the possibility of winning a 15-piece combination B remains.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the winning determination means 43 is a means for determining whether or not the combination of symbols stopped and displayed on the three reels 21L, C, R is a predetermined winning symbol. Specifically, the winning determination means 43 determines the winning combination according to the combination of symbols stopped on the winning lines 211 to 215 set so as to cross the three reels 21L, 21C, 21R. The winning determination means 43 takes in the number of steps of each corresponding stepping motor (reel drive unit 22) after each reel 21L, C, R stops. The winning determination means 43 obtains the type of the symbol 20 stopped on the winning lines 211 to 215 based on the number of steps, and determines whether or not a winning combination is established for the combination of the symbols 20.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the profit granting means 44 is a means for giving a profit according to the winning combination determined by the winning determination means 43. For example, when the bonus combination is a winning combination, the profit granting unit 44 provides a profit that a bonus state occurs. Further, for example, when 15 winning combinations are winning combinations, a benefit of paying out 15 medals is given.

  The gaming state generating means 45 is means for generating various gaming states as shown in FIG. In the gaming state generating means 45, a control flag for controlling the gaming state generated by the slot machine 1 is set. The control flags include a bonus state flag corresponding to the bonus state, an RT0 state flag corresponding to the RT0 state, an RT1 state flag corresponding to the RT1 state, an RT2 state flag corresponding to the RT2 state, and an AT state flag corresponding to the AT state. is there.

The gaming state generating means 45 generates each gaming state in accordance with the control flag in the on state as follows.
On-state control flag Game state ・ Bonus state flag → Bonus state ・ RT0 state flag → RT0 state ・ RT1 state flag → RT1 state ・ RT2 state flag → RT2 state ・ AT state flag → AT state

  As shown in FIG. 7, the effect pattern determining means 46 is a means for determining the type of effect pattern executed at the AT. The effect pattern determination means 46 matches the random number for effect pattern lottery with respect to the effect pattern lottery table (FIG. 9) when the 15 winning combination is won internally, and thus among the first effect pattern and the second effect pattern. Decide either.

  The effect means 47 is a means for executing the effect pattern determined by the effect pattern determination means 46 as shown in FIGS. The production patterns by the production means 47 include a first production pattern and a second production pattern. The production means 47 executes one of the two types of production patterns as AT.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the privilege granting means 48 is a means for giving a privilege advantageous to the player side. The privilege granting unit 48 grants a privilege when the privilege granting conditions are cleared during the RT2 state execution period (AT state execution period, notification effect execution period). As the privilege granting conditions, it is set that 20 games can be digested within 100 seconds to finish the RT2 state, and that all 15 winning combinations have been won according to the first or second effect pattern. As a privilege, the continuation of the AT state in the RT0 state after the return of the RT2 state is set.

  Next, the first effect pattern and the second effect pattern, which are effect patterns executed by the effect means 47, will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 11 exemplifies a production pattern in the case where 15 winning combinations A, C, and D are simultaneously won in the AT state. The first effect pattern is an effect pattern including a navigation screen 53A for winning the first combination 15-sheet combination A, a success screen 53D indicating success, and a failure screen 53E indicating failure. The second effect pattern is an effect pattern including navigation screens 53B and 53C for winning the second combination 15-sheet combination D, a success screen 53D indicating success, and a failure screen 53E indicating failure.

  The navigation screen 53A is a notification screen (AT screen) that displays “orange” corresponding to the right reel 21R and also displays prohibition marks corresponding to the middle reel 21C and the left reel 21L. Here, as described above, the specific reel of the 15-piece combination C as the second combination is the middle reel 21C, and the specific reel of the 15-piece combination D is the left reel 21L. Therefore, the non-specific reel when the 15-sheet combination A / C / D is simultaneously won is the right reel 21R. If the right reel 21R, which is a non-specific reel, is first stopped according to the navigation screen 53A, the first 15 combination A can be won.

  The success screen 53D in the first effect pattern is a screen that is displayed when the right reel 21R is first stopped according to the navigation screen 53A and the first combination 15-sheet combination A can be won. On the other hand, the failure screen 53E in the first effect pattern is a screen that is displayed when the left reel 21L or the middle reel 21C is first stopped without following the AT on the navigation screen 53A.

  The navigation screen 53B displays “R” corresponding to the left reel 21L, which is the specific reel of the 15-piece role D that is the second role, and also displays a prohibition mark corresponding to the middle reel 21C and the right reel 21R. It is an information screen. The navigation screen 53B indicates that any one of the nine types of 15-sheet combination D has been won internally. The navigation screen 53C is a screen for notifying the type of the 15 winning combination D that has been won internally by a winning symbol. If the type of “BAR” displayed on the navigation screen 53C can be stopped at the middle reel 21C and the right reel 21R, the 15-piece combination D can be won.

  The success screen 53D in the second effect pattern is a case where the left reel 21L is first stopped in accordance with the navigation screen 53B, and then, as shown in the navigation screen 53C, “BAR” is stopped and the 15-piece combination D is won. It is a screen displayed on the screen. On the other hand, the failure screen 53E in the second effect pattern is obtained when the middle reel 21C or the right reel 21R is first stopped without following the AT on the navigation screen 53B, and when the eye pressing instructed on the navigation screen 53C fails. This is the screen that is displayed.

  Next, the operation of the slot machine 1 of the present example configured as described above will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing the flow of the game start process in the slot machine 1 of this example. FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing the flow of the winning process in the slot machine 1 of this example.

  In the game start process shown in FIG. 12, it is first determined whether a game start operation is detected by the start lever 62 (S101). When a game start operation is detected (S101: YES), an internal winning combination lottery is executed (S102), and a corresponding internal winning flag is set to 1 (S103). If 1 is set in the 15 winning combination flag corresponding to the 15 winning combination (S104: YES), the flag state of the AT state flag is determined (S105).

  When the AT state flag is set to 1 (S105: YES), the effect pattern lottery is executed (S106), the effect screen is switched according to the selected effect pattern (S107), and the reel 21 is rotated. Is started (S108). On the other hand, if the 15-piece combination flag and the AT state flag are set to zero (S104: NO, S105: NO), the reels are not performed without performing the effect pattern lottery (S106) and the effect screen switching (S107). 21 starts rotating (S108).

  In the winning process shown in FIG. 13, first, detection of a stop operation by the stop button 61 is determined (S201). When the stop operation of the reel 21 is detected (S201: YES), the corresponding reel 21 is stopped (S202). Thereafter, when all the reels 21 are stopped (S203: YES), it is determined whether or not the symbol combination stopped and displayed on the winning line is a winning symbol (S204), and winning of each combination is determined.

  When the replay winning combination is won (S205: YES), the replay game is set by automatic insertion of medals (S206), and the replay winning flag is reset to zero (S207). Thereafter, the flag states of the bonus state flag and the RT1 state flag are determined. When the bonus state flag is zero and the RT1 state flag is zero (S208: YES), the RT2 state flag is set to 1 (S209) and the AT state flag is set to 1 (S210). .

  When the bonus combination is won (S205: NO → S221: YES), the RT0 state flag, the RT1 state flag, and the RT2 state flag are reset to zero, and the bonus state flag is set to 1 (S223). The flag is reset to zero (S224).

  If the winning combination of five is won (S205: NO → S221: NO → S231: YES), the RT0 state flag is reset to zero (S232), the RT1 state flag is set to 1 (S233), and the medal A payout process P is executed. On the other hand, when 15 or 3 winning combinations wins (S205: NO → S221: NO → S231: NO → S241: YES), the medal payout process P is executed according to the type of winning combination.

  After the processing according to the winning combination of each combination is performed as described above, all the small combination flags are reset to zero (S211), the bonus condition end condition, the RT2 state end condition, the AT state continuation condition (privilege grant condition) ) Has been achieved (S212, S215, S217). If the number of medals paid out during the bonus state generation period exceeds 365 and the bonus state end condition is achieved (S212: YES), the bonus state flag is reset to zero and the RT0 flag is set to 1. (S214).

  When the number of digested games within the generation period of the RT2 state reaches 20 games and the RT2 state end condition is achieved (S215: YES), the RT2 state flag is reset to zero (S216). In the RT2 state, if the 20-game is digested within 100 seconds and all the 15 winning combinations are won according to the navigation screens 53A-C, the AT state continuation condition can be achieved (S217: YES), the AT state The AT state can be continued by avoiding a zero reset of the flag. On the other hand, if the AT state continuation condition cannot be achieved (S217: NO), the AT state flag is reset to zero (S218), and the AT state is terminated upon returning to the RT0 state.

  As described above, the AT generated by the slot machine 1 of the present example includes a first effect pattern for winning the first combination and a second effect for winning the second combination when the 15 winning combination is won internally. There is a pattern. In the case of following the first performance pattern, it is possible to easily win the 15th winning combination A which is the first winning combination without needing to push. On the other hand, in order to follow the second performance pattern, it is necessary to press and stop the second role symbol, and the winning difficulty is high.

  In the slot machine 1 of this example, the ratio of the first effect pattern and the second effect pattern is determined according to the game result in the latest bonus state. The higher the ratio of the first performance pattern, the lower the difficulty level, and the higher the selection ratio of the second performance pattern, the higher the difficulty level. Furthermore, in the slot machine 1, since a privilege is given according to the game result within the generation period of the RT2 state in which AT is executed, gambling is also high.

  As described above, in the slot machine 1 of this example, when 15 winning combinations are won internally, by selectively executing two types of AT (first effect pattern, second effect pattern) having different difficulty levels, Realization of a new AT state has increased the interest of gaming. Furthermore, by changing the ratio of two types of ATs having different difficulty levels, it is possible to change the gameability.

  This example is an example in which any two of 15-sheet combinations A and 15-sheet combinations B to D are won at the same time. You may make it win simultaneously with one. In this case, since there is one specific reel, there are two non-specific reels that can be stopped first to preferentially draw the symbol corresponding to the 15-sheet combination A.

  Also, in this example, the AT state is executed during the occurrence of the RT2 state, which is the replay time, by setting the occurrence condition of the AT state as the start of the RT2 state and the end condition of the AT state as the end of the RT2 state. is there. If other AT state generation conditions and end conditions are set instead of this example, it is possible to execute only the AT state without generating a replay time.

  Furthermore, in this example, as a privilege for the game result corresponding to the AT in the RT2 state, a privilege that the AT state is continued after returning to the RT0 state is set. In addition, as a condition for granting a privilege, it is set that 20 games are digested within 100 games, the RT2 state is terminated, and all 15 winning combinations have been won according to AT. As a privilege and specific grant conditions, not only the contents of this example but other privileges and grant conditions can be set up.

  As a privilege, for example, a lottery to determine whether or not to continue the AT state, to generate an AT with a preset number of games, or to determine the number of ATs to be executed when the AT state is continued is determined by lottery. Various benefits can be set. Furthermore, notification of a set value, execution of a premier effect, or the like may be set as a privilege. As a condition for granting a privilege, for example, regardless of whether or not the AT is obeyed, all 15 winning combinations are won in the RT2 state or a predetermined number of times and the RT2 state is terminated within a predetermined time. Etc. can also be set.

  In addition, according to the current rules, if the symbol that constitutes the winning symbol corresponding to the internal winning combination is located within the draw-in range, it must be stopped on the winning line, and more than one internal winning combination When the symbols constituting the corresponding winning symbol can be stopped and displayed on the winning line at the same time, they must be stopped and displayed at the same time. Therefore, according to the current rules, when 15-piece combination A is won by itself, the winning symbol of 15-piece combination A is always displayed on the winning line, so the 15-piece combination A is won according to the pressing order. I can't let you.

  However, when 15 winning combinations A to D are arranged internally and 15 winning combinations A to 15 are simultaneously won simultaneously by arranging the winning combinations of 15 winning combinations A to D as in this embodiment, Even so, if the stop operation is not performed in a predetermined pressing order, the 15-sheet combination A can be configured not to win. Further, when the stop operation is not performed in the predetermined pressing order, it can be configured such that the 15-piece combination B to D can be won by pushing.

(Example 2)
In this example, the AT according to the second effect pattern is changed based on the slot machine of the first embodiment. The contents of this example will be described with reference to FIG. 14 exemplifying an AT when 15 winning combinations A, C, and D are simultaneously elected.

  The first effect pattern is an effect pattern including a navigation screen 531A for winning the first 15 combination A and a success screen 531E indicating success. The second effect pattern is a navigation screen 531B for predicting a non-specific reel that can stop the drawing of the 15-piece combination A that is the first combination, and the 15-sheet that is the second combination when the left reel 21L that is the specific reel is stopped. Navi screen 531C for winning a combination D, and when the middle reel 21C, which is a specific reel, is stopped, a navigation screen 531D for winning a 15 combination C, which is the second combination, succeeded in predicting a non-specific reel This is an effect pattern including a success screen 531E representing the effect.

The navigation screen 531A is a notification screen that displays “orange” corresponding to the right reel 21R and also displays prohibition marks corresponding to the middle reel 21C and the left reel 21L. Here, as described above, the specific reel of the 15-piece combination C as the second combination is the middle reel 21C, and the specific reel of the 15-piece combination D is the left reel 21L. Therefore, the non-specific reel when the 15-sheet combination A / C / D is simultaneously won is the right reel 21R. If the right reel 21R, which is a non-specific reel, is first stopped according to the navigation screen 53A, the first 15 combination A can be won.
The success screen 531E in the first effect pattern is a screen that is displayed when the right reel 21R is first stopped in accordance with the navigation screen 531A and the first combination 15-sheet combination A can be won.

The navigation screen 531B is a navigation screen for predicting a non-specific reel that can stop the drawing of the first 15 combination A. On the navigation screen 531B, question marks are displayed corresponding to all the reels 21L, C, and R.
The navigation screen 531C is a navigation screen that is displayed when the left reel 21L, which is the specific reel of the 15-piece combination D, is first stopped. The navigation screen 531 </ b> C is a push-button navigation that displays a winning symbol of the 15 winning combination D won internally.
The navigation screen 531D is a navigation screen that is displayed when the middle reel 21C, which is a specific reel of the 15-sheet combination C, is first stopped. The navigation screen 531D is a push-button navigation for displaying the winning symbols of the 15 winning combinations C won internally.

The success screen 531E in the second effect pattern is a screen that is displayed when the reel 21 that is first stopped in anticipation of a non-specific reel is correct. If the success screen 531E is displayed in the second effect pattern, then “orange” can be stopped and displayed on the other reels 21 without having to press it, and the first 15 combination A can be won.
Other configurations and operational effects are the same as those in the first embodiment.

  As mentioned above, although the specific example of this invention was demonstrated in detail like Example 1 and Example 2, these specific examples are only disclosing the example of the technique included by a claim. Needless to say, the scope of the claims should not be construed as limited by the configuration, numerical values, or the like of the specific examples.
