Description

  The present invention relates to a slot machine in which the number of medals to be paid out at the time of winning varies depending on the number of effective lines in which the combination of symbols stops according to the pressing order of the stop switch when winning a specific small role It is.

In a conventional slot machine, it is known that a specific small role is provided as a lottery to be drawn, and that the order of pressing a stop switch for winning the selected special small role is determined by lottery when the specific small role is won. Yes. For example, the stop switch can be pressed in six ways: left middle right, left / right middle, middle / left / right, middle right / left, right / left middle, and right middle / left. When winning, if the stop switch is operated in any one of the pressing order, the combination of symbols corresponding to the selected small winning combination stops on the active line (wins), but the other five pressings When operated in order, the reels are controlled to stop so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the specific small combination does not stop on the active line (no winning) even if the specific small combination is won. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).
Japanese Patent No. 3302975

Therefore, even if a specific small role is won, the push order of the stop switch for winning is different for each winning time, so unless you know the push order of the stop switch for winning, it is specified only with a probability of 1/6 A small role cannot be awarded.
However, when a predetermined condition is satisfied, a game in which the pressing order of the stop switch for winning the specified small combination is notified when the specific small combination is won. Such a game in which information related to operation of a stop switch necessary for winning a winning combination is notified is called an AT (Assist Time) game.
Therefore, when the AT game is executed, the winning rate of the specific small combination becomes six times higher than that of the non-AT game.

  However, in the technique of the above-mentioned patent document 1, when a specific small role is elected, if the stop switch is pressed in the correct order, it can be awarded, but if the stop switch is not pressed in the correct order, the specific small role is won. Despite being present, it cannot be awarded. That is, since the winning role was missed, there was a problem that the player was distrusted.

Here, if a specific small role is missed, it may be possible to pay out a smaller number of medals than at the time of winning a prize, but it is not possible to pay out medals even if the role has not won.
In addition, if there is a missing combination when winning a specific small role, it may be possible to pay out a medal by stopping (winning) a combination of symbols corresponding to any role on the active line. Cannot be awarded.

  Therefore, the problem to be solved by the present invention is to make the number of game media to be paid out (the number of medals) different depending on the pressing order of the stop switch when a specific small role is won.

The present invention solves the above problems by the following means. The configuration of the corresponding embodiment is shown in parentheses.
The invention of claim 1 includes a specific small role (small role 1) and a special role (RB) for shifting to a special game (RB game) that is advantageous to the player when the payout rate exceeds 1. When the role lottery means (61) for lottery of the role is received and the rotation start command of the reel (31) is received (when the start switch 41 is operated by the player), the reel starts to rotate and the game When the stop switch (42) is operated by a person, a reel control means (64) for stopping and controlling the reel at a position corresponding to a result of lottery by the role lottery means, and the special role by the role lottery means If the winning combination is selected, the special combination winning carry-over means (winning flag control means) is controlled so that the winning combination of the special combination is carried over to the next game until the combination of symbols corresponding to the special combination stops on the active line. 3. When it is determined that the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination is stopped on the active line when the winning flag 63a) and the reel are stopped, control is performed so that the number of game media corresponding to the winning combination is paid out. As a mode in which a plurality of effective lines (for example, 10 L1 to L10) are provided and a combination of symbols corresponding to the specific small role is stopped at the effective line, the payout means (67) is provided. (M is an integer equal to or greater than 1) Stopping modes that stop at the number of effective lines (for example, M = 1 (effective line L10)) and N (N is an integer equal to or greater than 2) excluding the M effective lines N> M) a combination of symbols corresponding to the specific small role and a plurality of valid combinations so as to have a stop mode that stops at the valid lines of N (M = 9 (effective lines L1 to L9)). Line is set and before If the combination of symbols corresponding to the specific small combination is stopped on a plurality of active lines when the reel is stopped, the payout means is a game corresponding to the number of effective lines in which the combination of symbols corresponding to the specific small combination is stopped. When controlling the medium to be paid out and winning the specific small combination by the combination lottery means, the stop switch for stopping the combination of symbols corresponding to the specific small combination on the N active lines A specific pressing order (whether the first stop switch 42 to be operated is left, middle, or right) is determined, and the combination lottery means selects the special combination by the special combination selection carryover means. Even when carrying over, the lottery including the specific small role is drawn, and the reel control means is used in the game in which the special role winning means is carried over by the special role winning carry-over means. When the specific small combination is won by the lottery means and the stop switch is operated in the specific pressing order, the combination of symbols corresponding to the specific small combination is stopped on the N active lines. When the combination of symbols corresponding to the specific small combination is not stopped on the N effective lines, the combination of symbols corresponding to the specific small combination is stopped on the M effective lines. It is characterized by controlling as follows.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the slot machine according to the first aspect, the combination lottery means is configured so that the special combination and a predetermined combination P1 (replay 1) which is a small combination or a replay are won in combination. A lottery is performed, and the reel control means always stops the combination of symbols corresponding to the selected predetermined combination P1 on the active line in the game in which the special combination and the predetermined combination P1 are won by the combination lottery means. The combination of symbols corresponding to the special combination is controlled so as not to stop on the effective line.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the slot machine according to the first or second aspect, when the specific small combination is won by the combination lottery means, when a predetermined condition is satisfied (AT game is executed) When a lottery is won), a push order notifying means (AT game control means 69a) for controlling the player to notify the specific push order of the stop switch is provided.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the slot machine according to any one of the first to third aspects, the number of payouts of the specified small combination and the game medium is the same as the combination that is selected by the combination lottery means. There are a predetermined combination P2 (small combination 2) and a predetermined combination P3 (small combination 3) which are small combinations set to a number (one), and the combination lottery means includes the specific combination and the predetermined combination P2. A lottery of a combination is performed so as to have a case of overlapping winning and a case where the specified small combination and the predetermined combination P3 are overlapped, and the reel control means uses the combination lottery means for the specific small combination and the predetermined combination. In a game in which P2 is duplicated, the stop switch is pressed in a specific pressing order T1 (provided that the first operated stop switch 42 is the left stop switch 42). A combination of symbols When control is performed so as to stop at the N active lines and the combination of symbols corresponding to the specific small role is not stopped at the N active lines (the stop switch 42 operated first is the middle or right stop) When the switch is 42), the combination of symbols corresponding to the specific combination P2 or the combination of symbols corresponding to the specific small combination is controlled to stop on the M effective lines, and the specific lottery means performs the specific combination In a game in which a small combination and the predetermined combination P3 are won, the stop switch is pressed in a specific order T2 (T2 ≠ T1) (the first stop switch 42 operated is the middle stop switch 42). Control) to stop the combination of symbols corresponding to the specific small combination at the N active lines, and When the corresponding symbol combination is not stopped on the N active lines (when the first operated stop switch 42 is the left or right stop switch 42), the symbol combination corresponding to the specific combination P3 or the specific Control is performed so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination is stopped on the M effective lines.

  According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in the slot machine according to any one of the first to fourth aspects, one specific reel (medium reel 31) as a combination of symbols corresponding to the specific small role Only the symbol P (the symbol of “bell”) is defined, the symbols of the other reels are arbitrary symbols, and all the N effective lines are in a specific position (middle stage) on the specific reel. ), And the M effective lines are effective lines that do not pass through the specific position on the specific reel (pass through the upper stage).

  According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, in the slot machine according to the fifth aspect, the symbols P are arranged at predetermined positions on all the reels, and the reel control means is configured to correspond to the specific small role. When the combination is stopped on the N effective lines, the reels are stopped and controlled so that the symbols P of all the reels are aligned on a straight line.

(Function)
In the present invention, as a mode in which a combination of symbols corresponding to a specific small combination is stopped on an effective line, there are a mode in which the combination is stopped on M effective lines and a mode in which the combination is stopped on N effective lines. Therefore, even if the number of game media payouts at the time of winning a specific small role is the same, the payout at the time of winning a specific small role is changed by changing the number of effective lines at which the combination of symbols corresponding to the specific small role stops. The number of sheets changes.

In addition, when a specific small role is won in the game inside the special role, if the stop switch is pressed in a specific order (when the pressing order is correct), the symbol corresponding to the specific small role When the combination is stopped on the N effective lines and is not in a specific pushing order (when the pushing order is not correct), the combination of symbols corresponding to the specific small combination is stopped on the M effective lines.
Therefore, the expected value of the number of payouts of game media can be changed between inside and outside. Further, as in the third aspect of the invention, if a specific push order is notified when a specific small role is won in an internal game (if an AT game is executed), the winning rate in the internal game Can be made higher than in the non-inside, and AT games can be executed using the inside.

  According to the present invention, when a specific small combination is won, the number of game media to be paid out can be made different according to the pressing order of the stop switch. In addition, the expected value of the number of game media to be paid out can be different between the non-inside and the inside.

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

  In the present embodiment, the game control means 60 is illustrated as one, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the main control board having the game control means 60 for controlling the progress of the game and the effect for controlling the output of the effect. A sub-control board having the control means 69 may be provided separately, and the main control board may be configured to transmit information necessary for production output to the sub-control board.

As shown in FIG. 1, a bet switch 40, a start switch 41, and a stop switch 42 are electrically connected to the input side (left side in FIG. 1) of the game control means 60.
The bet switch 40 is a switch operated when the player inserts a stored medal for the game. The bet switch 40 in the present embodiment is a switch dedicated to inserting three (max), and the player always inserts three medals and plays a game in any gaming state. .
The medal slot 43 is a part where the player inserts an actual medal, and inserting a medal from the medal slot 43 has the same role as operating the bet switch 40.

The start switch 41 is a switch operated by the player when starting the reels 31 (all of left, middle and right).
Furthermore, three (left, middle, right) stop switches 42 are provided corresponding to the three (left, middle, right) reels 31, and the player operates to stop the corresponding reels 31. Switch.

A motor 32 is electrically connected to the output side (right side in FIG. 1) of the game control means 60.
The motor 32 is for rotating the reels 31, is connected to the center of rotation of each reel 31, and is controlled by a reel control means 64 described later. Here, the reel 31 includes a left reel 31, a middle reel 31, and a right reel 31, and a stop switch 42 that is operated when the left reel 31 is stopped is the left stop switch 42, and when the middle reel 31 is stopped. The stop switch 42 to be operated is the middle stop switch 42, and the stop switch 42 to be operated when stopping the right reel 31 is the right stop switch 42.

  The reel 31 is ring-shaped, and a reel tape on which a plurality of types of symbols (designs constituting a combination of symbols corresponding to the combination) is attached is attached to the outer peripheral surface thereof. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a symbol arrangement of the reels 31 in the present embodiment. In FIG. 2, symbol numbers are also shown. As shown in FIG. 2, in this embodiment, 21 symbols are arranged at equal intervals for each reel 31.

FIG. 3 is a view showing the positional relationship between each reel 31 and a display window (transparent window) 11 provided in the front mask portion (front door, not shown) of the slot machine 10. In this embodiment, three reels 31 (left reel 31, middle reel 31, and right reel 31) are provided in parallel in the horizontal direction in this embodiment. Further, each reel 31 is arranged so that three symbols that are continuous in the vertical direction can be seen from the display window 11. Therefore, it is arranged so that a total of nine symbols can be seen from the display window 11 of the slot machine 10.
In this specification, in FIG. 3, the position where the symbol “7” is stopped is “upper”, the position where the “☆” of the left reel 31 is stopped is “middle”, and the position “ The position where “RP” is stopped is referred to as “lower stage”.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 4, effective lines L <b> 1 to L <b> 10 are provided in a portion including the display window 11 of the slot machine 10.
Here, the “effective line” is a symbol combination line that forms a symbol combination when the reel 31 is stopped, and a symbol combination corresponding to any of the combinations is the line. It is a line that will be the winning prize of that role when stopped. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, it has ten effective lines L1-L10.

  Further, as a feature of the effective line of the present embodiment, a position through which the effective line passes in the middle reel 31 can be cited. An effective line passing through the lower stage of the middle reel 31 is not provided in this embodiment. The effective line passing through the upper stage of the middle reel 31 is only the effective line L10. Furthermore, the effective lines passing through the middle stage of the middle reel 31 have nine effective lines L1 to L9.

  In the present embodiment, all the symbol combination lines other than the valid lines L1 to L10 are invalid lines. For example, a symbol combination line passing through the lower stage of the left reel 31, the lower stage of the middle reel 31, and the lower stage of the right reel 31 is also conceivable, but such a line is an invalid line in this embodiment. An invalid line is a line that is not set as a valid line among symbol combination lines, and even if a combination of symbols corresponding to any of the combinations stops on that line, a profit corresponding to the combination is given. This line does not perform (medal payout etc.). In other words, the invalid line is a line that is not a target of combination of symbols in the first place.

  In a slot machine that has been widely known, the number of effective lines is determined according to the number of medals inserted. For example, in a slot machine with 5 effective lines, when the number of inserted medals is 1, there is 1 effective line, when the number of inserted medals is 2, the number of effective lines is 3 and the number of inserted medals is 3. In the case of sheets, the number of effective lines can be set to five. On the other hand, in this embodiment, in any game, three medals are inserted and a game is played, and in all games, all 10 effective lines L1 to L10 are effective lines in the game. It becomes.

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

The speaker 22 outputs a predetermined sound when a predetermined condition is satisfied in order to perform various effects during the game.
Furthermore, the image display device 23 is composed of a liquid crystal display, a dot display, or the like, and displays various effect images during the game, operation information of the stop switch 42 during the AT game described later, and the like.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the type of combination (the combination drawn by the combination lottery means 61 described later), the number of payouts, the combination of symbols, and the like in this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 5, special combinations, small combinations, and replays are provided as combinations.
A combination of symbols corresponding to each combination and the number of payouts at the time of winning are determined. As a result, when all the reels 31 are stopped, when the combination of symbols corresponding to any of the combinations stops on the active line (the combination wins), the number of medals corresponding to the combination is paid out (however, Excluding special roles).

In the combination, first, the special combination is a combination that shifts from the normal game to the special game. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, RB (regular bonus) is provided as a special combination.
When the RB wins, there is no payout of medals in the game, but the next game shifts to the RB game which is one of the special games. The RB game is an advantageous game for the player who can expect to win medals more than the normal game because the payout rate is set to exceed 1.

  Other special roles include 1BB (first type big bonus), 2BB (second type big bonus, also referred to as MB (middle bonus)), and SB (single bonus). Is not provided.

A small role is a role in which a predetermined number of medals are paid out. In this embodiment, there are five types of small roles 1 to 5 and a combination of symbols is provided for each small role. Are set differently. Note that “any” in the small part 1 means an arbitrary symbol. In other words, when the “bell” symbol of the middle reel 31 stops at any of the active lines (upper or middle), the winning of the small role 1 is confirmed regardless of the symbols of the left reel 31 and the right reel 31. .
Furthermore, the replay is a re-playing role that allows the re-playing while maintaining the number of medals inserted in the game. In the present embodiment, two types of replay 1 and replay 2 are provided as replays.

  Further, in FIG. 5, the number of payouts at the time of winning a winning combination 1 to 4 is all set to 1. Here, the number of payouts in FIG. 5 means the number of payouts per effective line. That is, for example, when the combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination 1 is stopped on any one of the active lines, it means that the medal payout number is one. Therefore, for example, when the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 1 is simultaneously stopped on nine active lines in the game, the number of medals paid out per effective line is multiplied by the number of effective lines. In this case, 9 sheets are paid out.

In each of the above-mentioned combinations, if the combination of symbols corresponding to the combination does not stop on the active line in the game selected for the combination, a combination that is carried over after the next game and a combination that is not carried over are determined. .
RB, which is a special role, can be listed as a role that is carried over. When the RB is won, in the game until the combination of symbols corresponding to the RB stops on the active line when the reel 31 is stopped, the RB is controlled to carry over after the next game.

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

  Note that a game in which the RB has not been won (a game in which the RB win has not been carried over) is referred to as “non-inside”. In addition, the RB was won in the game before the game, but the combination of symbols corresponding to the won RB is not stopped on the active line (not winning). (RB winning is carried over) “In game” is called “inside”.

  At the start of the game, the player operates the bet switch 40 to insert a previously stored medal, or inserts a medal from the medal insertion slot 43, and operates (turns on) the start switch 41. When the start switch 41 is operated, a signal generated at that time is input to the game control means 60. When the game control means 60 (specifically, the reel control means 64 described later) receives this signal, it controls to drive all the motors 32 and rotate all the reels 31. As the reel 31 is rotated by the motor 32 in this way, the symbols on the reel 31 are moved and displayed in the vertical direction in the display window 11 at a predetermined speed.

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

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

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

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

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

  The combination lottery table 62 defines the types of combinations to be selected and the winning probability of each combination. 6 and 7 are diagrams showing the role lottery table 62 (62A to 62C) in the present embodiment. The role lottery table 62 is provided for each gaming state. Each of the winning lottery tables 62 has a predetermined range of lottery areas. The lottery areas are divided into a winning area and a non-winning area of each winning combination, and a winning probability that a lottery is set in advance is set. It is set to a predetermined ratio so that

First, the “gaming state” of the present embodiment includes a non-inside game of a normal game, a game inside of a normal game, and an RB game that is a special game.
The combination lottery table 62A is a combination lottery table 62 used in non-internal games of normal games.

In the winning lottery table 62A, “+” means overlapping (simultaneous) winning (the same applies to the winning lottery table 62B described later). For example, in FIG. 6, “RB + Replay 1” means that RB and Replay 1 are won (simultaneously) in the game. Furthermore, “RB + replay 1 + replay 2” means that these three roles are won in duplicate.
In particular, in the present embodiment, the RB that is a special combination is not a single winning combination, but is always a double winning combination with another combination. Although this will be described in detail later, this is to prevent the game winning the RB from winning the RB. Replay 1 has a case where it wins alone and a case where it wins redundantly with other roles. In addition, the small combination is always set to overlap with other small combinations. And by setting to the winning probability of each winning shown in the winning lottery table 62A, the non-winning probability in the winning lottery table 62A is about 24/100.

  Also, the role lottery table 62B shown in FIG. 7 is a role lottery table 62 used in the normal game. The combination lottery table 62B differs from the combination lottery table 62A in that RBs are not lottery. In other words, once an RB is won in a non-inside normal game, the RB wins and shifts to an RB game, and until the end of the RB game and a non-inside normal game, the RB is drawn. I will not. Therefore, only the small combination and replay are drawn in the interior. For example, winning of “RB + Replay 1” in a non-inside game during a normal game is an independent winning of Replay 1 because RBs are not drawn in the inside. Thus, the single winning probability of Replay 1 in the interior is a form in which 1/300 which is the winning probability of “RB + Replay 1” is added to the winning probability in the non-inside. The same applies to the overlapping winning of the small combination 1 and the small winning 5 and the overlapping winning of the replay 1 and replay 2. However, since the winning of RB is maintained in the inside, it is expressed as “(+ RB)” in the winning lottery table 62B in FIG.

  Furthermore, the role lottery table 62C shown in FIG. 7 is the role lottery table 62 used in the RB game. The combination lottery table 62 </ b> C is set so that only the small combination 1 to the small combination 5 are selected and all are selected independently. In particular, the winning probability of the small role 1 is set high.

Returning to FIG.
The winning flag control means 63 controls the on / off of the winning flag 63a corresponding to each winning, based on the winning lottery result by the winning lottery means 61. In the present embodiment, eight winning flags 63a of RB, small combination 1, small combination 2, small combination 3, small combination 4, small combination 5, replay 1, and replay 2 are provided so as to correspond to the winning combination. When winning in the lottery of the combination by the combination lottery means 61, the winning flag 63a of the corresponding combination is turned on (the winning flag 63a is set). For example, when the replay 1 is won in the non-inside of the normal game, the winning flag 63a related to the replay 1 is turned on, and the winning flags 63a of other combinations remain off. Also, for example, when the winning combination of the small part 1 and the small part 2 is won in the non-inside of the normal game, the winning flag 63a related to the small part 1 and the winning flag 63a related to the small part 2 are turned on, The winning flag 63a remains off.

Furthermore, as described above, since the winning of the small role and the replay is not carried over, even if the small role or the replay is won in the game and the winning flag 63a of the small role or the replay is turned on, the game ends. Sometimes the winning flag 63a is turned off.
On the other hand, since the winning of RB is carried over, when RB is won in the game, and the winning flag 63a related to RB is turned on, the on state is maintained until RB wins and RB wins. Turned off at the moment.

  For example, when the winning lottery means 61 overlaps RB, small role 1, and small role 5 in the non-inside of the normal game, the three winning flags 63a of RB, small role 1, and small role 5 are turned on. At the end of the game, the two winning flags 63a of the small combination 1 and the small combination 5 are turned off, but the RB winning flag 63a is kept on (the RB is not winning in the game). If). And in the game in the inside of the next game, for example, when the small winning combination 1 and the small winning combination 2 are won simultaneously, the winning flags 63a related to the RB that is already turned on, as well as the respective winning flags of the small winning combination 1 and the small winning combination 2 63a is turned on. At the end of the game, the winning flag 63a related to the RB is kept on, and the winning flags 63a of the small role 1 and the small role 2 are turned off (the RB is not winning in the game). If).

  First, the reel control means 64 controls to start the rotation of all (three) reels 31 when the start switch 41 is operated. Further, the reel control means 64 refers to the ON / OFF of the winning flag 63a in the game after the winning lottery is performed by the winning lottery means 61, and the stop position determination table corresponding to ON / OFF of the winning flag 63a. 65, and when the stop switch 42 is operated, the stop position of the reel 31 corresponding to the stop switch 42 is determined based on the timing when the stop switch 42 is operated, and the motor 32 is turned on. Drive control is performed to stop the reel 31 at the determined position.

  For example, in a game in which at least one winning flag 63a is on, the reel control means 64 has a symbol corresponding to the winning combination (the combination for which the winning flag 63a is on) within the range of stop control of the reel 31. The reel 31 is controlled so that the combination can be stopped on the effective line, and the reel 31 is controlled so that the combination of symbols corresponding to a combination other than the winning combination (the combination in which the winning flag 63a is off) is not stopped on the effective line. Stop control.

  Here, “within the range of stop control of the reel 31” means within the range of the amount of rotation of the reel 31 (the number of moving symbols) from the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated until the reel 31 actually stops. In the present embodiment, the number of moving symbols from the symbol at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated is set within 4 symbols (within 5 symbols including the symbol at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated).

  As a result, when any of the symbols within the range of the stop control of the reel 31 counted from the symbol at the moment when the operation of the stop switch 42 is detected is a symbol to be stopped on the effective line, the stop switch 42 is operated. When that happens, the symbol is controlled to stop at the active line.

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

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

  Further, the reel control means 64 causes the combination of symbols corresponding to any one of the combinations to be stopped on the active line in a game in which the plurality of winning flags 63a are turned on (a game in which a plurality of winning combinations are won simultaneously). The reel 31 is controlled to stop so that combinations of symbols corresponding to a plurality of combinations do not stop at the effective line at the same time.

  The stop position determination table 65 is provided for each on / off state of the winning flag 63a, that is, for each lottery result of the combination by the combination lottery means 61, and the reel 31 at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated. The stop position of the reel 31 with respect to the position is determined. For example, for each winning combination shown in FIG. 6, stop positions corresponding to “RB + Replay 1”, “RB + Minor 1 + Minor 5”,..., “Replay 1 + Replay 2”, and “Non-winning” A determination table 65 is provided. In each stop position determination table 65, for example, when the stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when the symbol No. 0 (“bell” in the case of the left reel 31) passes through the upper stage, how many symbols are controlled to move. Thus, the stop position is determined such that the number of symbols is stopped in the upper stage.

The stop position determination table 65 includes the following RB / replay 1 table and the like.
In the RB / Replay 1 table, when the winning flag 63a of RB and Replay 1 is ON (when RB and Replay 1 are won in a non-internal game, and when Replay 1 is won in an internal game) In the range of stop control of the reel 31, first, priority is given to stopping the symbol combination corresponding to the replay 1 on the effective line, and the symbol combination corresponding to the replay 1 is stopped on the effective line. If it is not possible, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the symbol combination corresponding to RB is stopped at the effective line.

Further, when the symbol combination corresponding to RB cannot be stopped on the active line, the symbol combination at the time of stopping the reel 31 is set so that the symbol combination corresponding to any combination does not stop on any effective line. The combination is determined.
Here, any of the effective lines L1 to L10 may be used as an effective line for stopping the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay 1 and the RB.

  In the present embodiment, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that when the RB (special combination) and the small combination or replay are won, the small combination or replay is given priority. The same applies to the stop position determination table 65 below.

  In the RB / pocket 1 / pocket 5 table, when the winning flags 63a of the RB, the small role 1 and the small role 5 are turned on (in the non-internal game, RB, In the game of the inside, and in the game in the inside, when the winning combination of the small part 1 and the small part 5 is used) Priority is given to stopping on the active line, and when the symbol combination corresponding to the small role 5 cannot be stopped on the effective line, the symbol combination corresponding to the small role 1 is then stopped on the effective line. As described above, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined. Furthermore, when the symbol combination corresponding to the small combination 1 cannot be stopped on the effective line, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the symbol combination corresponding to RB is stopped on the effective line. ing. Further, when the symbol combination corresponding to RB cannot be stopped on the effective line, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the symbol combination corresponding to the other role does not stop on any effective line. Yes.

  As described above, in the RB, small combination 1 and small combination 5 table, the small combination 5 is controlled to be given priority over the small combination 1. This is because, when a plurality of small combinations with different payout numbers are won, priority is given to a small combination with a large number of payouts. As shown in FIG. 5, the number of payouts for the small combination 1 is 1, and the number of payouts for the small combination 5 is 9, so the small combination 5 is given priority.

  Moreover, any of the effective lines L1 to L10 may be used as an effective line for stopping the combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination 5. On the other hand, the effective line for stopping the symbol combination corresponding to the small combination 1 is limited to the effective line L10. Therefore, when the RB, small combination 1 and small combination 5 table is used and the small combination 1 wins, for the middle reel 31, the symbol “bell” always stops at the upper stage. If the “bell” symbol stops on the upper stage of the middle reel 31, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small part 1 on the effective line L10 is stopped, but it does not stop on the effective lines L1 to L9. Therefore, the effective line at the time of winning the small combination 1 is one effective line L10.

  Furthermore, when the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 1 is stopped on the effective line L10, the stop position of the reel 31 is set so that the “bell” symbol does not stop simultaneously on the upper stage of the left reel 31 and the right reel 31. Is stipulated. As a result, when winning the winning combination 1, “bell”-“bell”-“bell” is not aligned with the active line L10.

  In the RB / Replay 1 / Replay 2 table, when the winning flag 63a of RB, Replay 1 and Replay 2 is ON (when RB, Replay 1 and Replay 2 are both won in a non-internal game, In the game, the replay 1 and the replay 2 are used in combination, and within the range of the stop control of the reel 31, priority is given to first stopping the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay 2 on the active line, When the symbol combination corresponding to Replay 2 cannot be stopped on the effective line, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the symbol combination corresponding to Replay 1 is stopped on the effective line. It is. Furthermore, when the symbol combination corresponding to Replay 1 cannot be stopped on the effective line, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the symbol combination corresponding to RB is stopped on the effective line. Yes. Further, when the symbol combination corresponding to RB cannot be stopped on the effective line, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the symbol combination corresponding to the other role does not stop on any effective line. Yes.

  Further, when the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay 1 is stopped on the effective line when the RB / replay 1 / replay 2 table is used, the effective lines L3, L4, L8, or L10 that are straight-line effective lines are used. The probability of stopping at an effective line L1, L2, L5, L6, L7 or L9, which is a bent line-like effective line, is set at about 60%. FIG. 8 shows an example of a stop form of the symbol combination of the replay 1. In the figure, (a) shows an example in which the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay 1 is stopped on a straight-line effective line (in this example, the effective line L3). In the figure, (b) is a bent line shape. In this example, the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay 1 is stopped on the active line (effective line L1 in this example). Note that such a setting is about 40% for the right reel 31 in the stop position determination table 65 when, for example, the symbol “RP” stops in the middle when both the left reel 31 and the middle reel 31 are stopped. The right reel 31 relative to the position at the moment when the right stop switch 42 is operated so that the symbol “RP” stops in the middle stage with a probability of “RP” and the symbol “RP” stops in the upper stage or the lower stage with a probability of about 60%. What is necessary is just to set the stop position.

  Furthermore, when the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay 1 is stopped on the effective line when the RB / replay 1 / replay 2 table is used, the stop switch 42 is operated by forward pressing (in order of left middle right). When possible, as shown in FIG. 8C, when the left reel 31 and the middle reel 31 are stopped, the symbols “watermelon”, “RP”, and “bell” are arranged in a straight line. At the same time, when the last right reel 31 is stopped, the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay 1 is controlled to be stopped on the bent line-shaped effective line (the effective line L9 in this example).

In the conventional 5-line slot machine, such a stop type is referred to as a triple tempered slip and may be used as a chance or reach. Also in the present embodiment, by making such an appearance appear, the player is notified that there is a possibility of winning the special role (RB). As will be described later, this eye may appear with a low probability even when RB is not won.
For example, when the left reel 31 and the middle reel 31 are stopped, the above-described control is performed at the position where the symbols 8 to 10 or 17 to 19 can be stopped in the display window 11. Stop.

  The small role 1 and small role 2 table is used when the winning flags 63a of the small role 1 and the small role 2 are on (only when the winning flag 63a of the RB is off, that is, not inside). Within the range of the stop control of the reel 31, first, priority is given to stopping the combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination 2 on the effective line, and the combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination 2 may be stopped on the effective line. When it is not possible, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination 1 is stopped next to the effective line. Furthermore, when the combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination 1 cannot be stopped on the effective line, the stop position of the reel 31 is set so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the other combination does not stop on any effective line. Is stipulated.

  Here, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that any of the effective lines L1 to L10 may be used as the effective line where the symbol combination corresponding to the small combination 2 stops. On the other hand, the effective line for stopping the symbol combination corresponding to the small combination 1 is limited to the effective line L10. Therefore, when the small combination 1 / small combination 2 table is used and the small combination 1 wins, the symbol “bell” always stops at the upper stage for the middle reel 31. If the “bell” symbol stops on the upper stage of the middle reel 31, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small part 1 on the effective line L10 is stopped, but it does not stop on the effective lines L1 to L9. Therefore, the effective line at the time of winning the small combination 1 is one effective line L10.

  Furthermore, when the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 1 is stopped on the effective line L10, the stop position of the reel 31 is set so that the “bell” symbol does not stop simultaneously on the upper stage of the left reel 31 and the right reel 31. Is stipulated. As a result, when the small combination 1 is won, “bell”-“bell”-“bell” is not aligned in a straight line with the active line L10.

The small role 1 and small role 3 table is a stop used when the winning flags 63a of the small role 1 and the small role 3 are on (only when the winning flag 63a of the RB is off, that is, not inside). The position determination table 65 corresponds to a position determination table 65 in which “small role 2” is replaced with “small role 3” in the small role 1 and small role 2 tables.
The small role 1 and small role 4 table is used only when the winning flags 63a of the small role 1 and the small role 4 are on (only when the winning flag 63a of the RB is off, that is, not inside). This corresponds to the stop position determination table 65, which is obtained by replacing “small role 2” with “small role 4” in the small role 1 and small role 2 table.

In the above-described small combination 1 / small combination 2 table to small combination 1 / small combination 4 table, the number of payouts of the small combination that has been elected in duplicate is one. Therefore, although it is free to determine which winning combination is prioritized, in the present embodiment, as described above, setting is made so that a small combination other than the small combination 1 is prioritized.
Furthermore, the small role 1 and small role 5 table is only when the winning flags 63a of the small role 1 and the small role 5 are on (only when the winning flag 63a of the RB is off, ie, not inside). This is a stop position determination table 65 to be used, and corresponds to a table obtained by replacing “small role 2” with “small role 5” in the small role 1 and small role 2 table. As described above, the winning combination of the small combination 5 is given priority because the small combination 5 has more payouts than the small combination 1.

  The replay 1 table is used when only the winning flag 63a of the replay 1 is on, and within the range of the stop control of the reel 31, the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay 1 is stopped on the effective line, and other than the replay 1 The combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped is determined so as not to stop the symbol combination corresponding to the combination.

  Here, when the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay 1 is stopped at the effective line when the replay 1 table is used, the probability of stopping at the effective line L3, L4, L8 or L10 which is a linear effective line Is set to 100%, that is, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so as not to stop at the effective lines L1, L2, L5, L6, L7, or L9, which are bent-line effective lines.

  The Replay 1 and Replay 2 tables are used when the winning flags 63a of Replay 1 and Replay 2 are on (when the winning flag 63a of RB is off), and within the range of stop control of the reel 31, Priority is given to stopping the symbol combination corresponding to Replay 2 on the active line, and when the symbol combination corresponding to Replay 2 cannot be stopped on the effective line, the symbol corresponding to Replay 1 is next. The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so as to stop the combination in the effective line. Furthermore, when the symbol combination corresponding to the replay 1 cannot be stopped on the active line, the stop position of the reel 31 is set so that the symbol combination corresponding to another role does not stop on any effective line. It has established.

  When the combination of symbols corresponding to Replay 1 is stopped on the effective line when the Replay 1 / Replay 2 table is used, the combination is stopped at the effective line L3, L4, L8 or L10 which is a linear effective line. The probability of stopping at an effective line L1, L2, L5, L6, L7, or L9, which is a bent line-like effective line, is set at about 5%.

  In the RB / pocket 1 / pocket 2 table, when the winning flags 63a of the RB, the small role 1 and the small role 2 are ON (that is, the internal winning game is duplicated for the small roles 1 and 2) When the stop switch 42 operated first is the left stop switch 42 within the range of the stop control of the reel 31 (the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is “left middle right” or “right and left middle”). ”), The combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 1 is stopped at all of the effective lines L1 to L9, that is, when the middle reel 31 is stopped, the symbol“ bell ”is stopped at the middle stage. A stop position is defined.

  On the other hand, when the stop switch 42 operated first is the middle or right stop switch 42 (the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is “middle left / right”, “middle right left”, “right left middle”, “right middle left left”). ”), Priority is given to stopping the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 2 first on any of the effective lines L1 to L10, and any combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 2 is selected. When the active line L1 to L10 cannot be stopped, the symbol combination corresponding to the small role 1 is then stopped at the active line L10, that is, when the middle reel 31 is stopped, the “bell” symbol is displayed on the upper stage. The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so as to be stopped.

  If the symbol combination corresponding to the small combination 1 cannot be stopped on the effective line L10, then the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the symbol combination corresponding to RB is stopped on the effective line. ing. Further, when the symbol combination corresponding to RB cannot be stopped on the effective line, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the symbol combination corresponding to the other role does not stop on any effective line. Yes.

  In addition, the RB / pocket 1 / pocket 3 table is duplicated in the RB / pocket 1 / pocket 3 winning flag 63a (that is, overlaps with the small roles 1 and 3 in the game in the inside). When the stop switch 42 operated first is the middle stop switch 42 within the range of the stop control of the reel 31 (the pushing order of the stop switch 42 is “middle left / right” or “middle”). When “right-left”), the combination of symbols corresponding to the small part 1 is stopped at all of the effective lines L1 to L9, that is, when the middle reel 31 is stopped, the symbol “bell” is stopped at the middle stage. The stop position is determined.

  On the other hand, when the stop switch 42 operated first is the left or right stop switch 42 (the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is “left middle right”, “left / right middle”, “right left middle”, “right middle” When it is “Left”, priority is given to first stopping the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 3 on any of the effective lines L1 to L10, and any combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 3 is selected. If the active line L1 to L10 cannot be stopped, then the symbol combination corresponding to the small role 1 is stopped on the active line L10, that is, when the middle reel 31 is stopped, the “bell” symbol is displayed on the upper stage. The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so as to stop.

  If the symbol combination corresponding to the small combination 1 cannot be stopped on the effective line L10, then the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the symbol combination corresponding to RB is stopped on the effective line. ing. Further, when the symbol combination corresponding to RB cannot be stopped on the effective line, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the symbol combination corresponding to the other role does not stop on any effective line. Yes.

  Furthermore, in the RB / pocket 1 / pocket 4 table, when the winning flags 63a of the RB, the small role 1 and the small role 4 are ON (that is, the small game 1 and the small role 4 in the game in the inside). When the stop switch 42 that is operated first is the right stop switch 42 within the range of the stop control of the reel 31 (when the stop switch 42 is pressed in the “right / left middle” or “ When “right middle left” is set, the symbol combination corresponding to the small part 1 is stopped at all of the effective lines L1 to L9, that is, the symbol “bell” is stopped at the middle when the middle reel 31 is stopped. The stop position of the reel 31 is determined.

  On the other hand, when the stop switch 42 operated first is the left or middle stop switch 42 (the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is “left middle right”, “left / right middle”, “middle left / right”, “middle right / left left). ”), Priority is given to first stopping the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 4 on any of the effective lines L1 to L10, and any combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 4 is selected. When the active line L1 to L10 cannot be stopped, the symbol combination corresponding to the small role 1 is then stopped at the active line L10, that is, when the middle reel 31 is stopped, the “bell” symbol is displayed on the upper stage. The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so as to be stopped.

  If the symbol combination corresponding to the small combination 1 cannot be stopped on the effective line L10, then the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the symbol combination corresponding to RB is stopped on the effective line. ing. Further, when the symbol combination corresponding to RB cannot be stopped on the effective line, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the symbol combination corresponding to the other role does not stop on any effective line. Yes.

  In the case where the above RB / pocket 1 / pocket 2 table to RB / pocket 1 / pocket 4 table are used, when the combination of symbols corresponding to the poker 1 is stopped on the effective lines L1 to L9, it is acceptable. For example, when the “bell” symbol is stopped at the middle stage when the middle reel 31 is stopped, the left reel 31 and the right reel 31 are stopped so that the “bell” symbols are aligned in a straight line. That is, the reel 31 is stopped so that “bell”-“bell”-“bell” stops on the effective line L3, L4, or L8 which is a straight-line effective line.

  Thereby, it is possible to inform the player that the 9th payout small combination 1 has won a prize visually. On the other hand, when the symbol combination corresponding to the small role 1 is stopped on the effective line L10, the stop position of the reel 31 is set so that the symbol "bell" does not stop simultaneously on the upper stage of the left reel 31 and the right reel 31. Is stipulated. As a result, when the small combination 1 is won, “bell”-“bell”-“bell” is not aligned in a straight line with the active line L10.

  However, as shown in FIG. 5, since the symbol combination corresponding to the small role 1 is “any”-“bell”-“any”, the symbol “bell” of the middle reel 31 is any effective line. The winning of the small combination 1 is not affected by the stop symbols of the left reel 31 and the right reel 31.

  The RB table is used when the RB winning flag 63a is on (that is, when the internal game is not won for a small role or replay), and within the range of the stop control of the reel 31, the RB table is used. The combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped is determined so that the combination of symbols corresponding to is stopped on the effective line and the combination of symbols corresponding to roles other than RB is not stopped on the effective line.

  The small role 1 table is used when only the winning flag 63a of the small role 1 is on (that is, when the small role 1 is won during the RB game), and within the range of the stop control of the reel 31, The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the small part 1 is stopped on the effective lines L1 to L9, that is, when the middle reel 31 is stopped, the “bell” symbol is stopped at the middle stage. Is. Further, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that “bell”-“bell”-“bell” stops at the effective lines L3, L4, or L8 which are straight-line effective lines.

Furthermore, the small role 2 table is used only when the winning flag 63a of the small role 2 is on (that is, when the small role 2 is won during the RB game), and within the range of the stop control of the reel 31. The combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped is determined so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 2 is stopped on the effective line, and the combination of symbols corresponding to the roles other than the small role 2 is not stopped on the effective line. It is a thing.
The small role 3 table is a stop position determination table 65 that is used when only the winning flag 63a of the small role 3 is on (that is, when the small role 3 is won during the RB game). In the middle, it corresponds to the one obtained by replacing “small role 2” with “small role 3”.

The small role 4 table is a stop position determination table 65 that is used when only the winning flag 63a of the small role 4 is on (that is, when the small role 4 is won during the RB game). In the two tables, “small role 2” is replaced with “small role 4”.
Furthermore, the small role 5 table is a stop position determination table 65 that is used when only the winning flag 63a of the small role 5 is on (that is, when the small role 5 is won during the RB game). In the combination 2 table, “small combination 2” is replaced with “small combination 5”.

  The non-winning table is used when all the winning flags 63a are off (that is, at the time of non-winning of a combination in a non-internal game or an RB game), and a combination of symbols corresponding to any combination becomes an active line. The combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped is determined so as not to stop. In the non-winning table, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the symbol “bell” does not stop at the upper stage or the middle stage (because it becomes a winning of the small role 1).

Next, the relationship between the symbol arrangement of the reels 31 and stop control will be described.
As shown in FIG. 2, in all the reels 31, the “bell” symbols are arranged at intervals within 5 symbols. As a result, the reel control means 64 can always stop the “bell” symbol at a desired position no matter which moment the reel 31 is positioned and the stop switch 42 is operated. Therefore, when the small combination 1 is won, when the middle reel 31 is stopped, the symbol “bell” can be stopped on either the upper stage or the middle stage. Furthermore, “bell”-“bell”-“bell” can be stopped on the effective line L3, L4 or L8 which is a straight-line effective line.

  Similarly, as shown in FIG. 2, in all the reels 31, the symbols “RP” are arranged at intervals within 5 symbols. As a result, the reel control means 64 can stop the symbol “RP” on a desired effective line, regardless of which moment the reel 31 is positioned and the stop switch 42 is operated. Therefore, when the replay 1 is won, the reel control means 64 always stops the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay 1 ("RP"-"RP"-"RP") on the desired effective line. Can be made.

On the other hand, the symbols “7”, “BAR”, “watermelon”, and “☆” are arranged with an interval exceeding 5 symbols. As a result, when the winning combination of RB, small combination 2 to small combination 5 and replay 2 is won, if the stop switch 42 is not operated at the timing when the symbol corresponding to the winning combination stops on the active line, the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination Does not stop at the active line.
Specifically, for example, in order to stop the “watermelon” symbol in the middle stage of the middle reel 31, if the middle stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when the symbols 6 to 19 pass the middle stage, The 14th or 19th “Watermelon” symbol stops in the middle. On the other hand, when the middle stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when the 1st to 5th or 20th to 0th symbols pass through the middle stage, the 10th, 14th or 19th "watermelon" symbol Can not stop in the middle.

As described above, in the RB / replay 1 table, replay 1 always wins and RB does not win.
Also, in the RB / pocket 1 / pocket 5 table, there are cases where the poker 5 wins and does not win. When the poker 5 does not win, the poker 1 always wins, so the RB wins. There is no case to do.
Furthermore, in the RB / replay 1 / replay 2 table, there are cases where the replay 2 wins and where there is no win, and when the replay 2 does not win, the replay 1 always wins, so there is no case where the RB wins. .

Furthermore, in the small role 1 and small role 2 table, there are cases where the small role 2 wins and the small role 2 does not win. When the small role 2 does not win, the small role 1 always wins. There is no case.
The small role 1 / small role 3 table, the small role 1 / small role 4 table, and the small role 1 / small role 5 table are the same as the small role 1 / small role 2 table.
When the replay 1 table is used, the replay 1 always wins.

Furthermore, in the replay 1 / replay 2 table, there are cases where the replay 2 wins and where there is no win, and when the replay 2 does not win, the replay 1 always wins.
In the RB / pocket 1 / pocket 2 table, when the first operated stop switch 42 is the left stop switch 42, the win 1 always wins the active lines L1 to L9. On the other hand, when the stop switch 42 operated first is the middle or right stop switch 42, there is a case where the small role 2 wins and a case where the small role 2 does not win. The small role 1 wins the active line L10. Therefore, RB will not win.

  Similarly, in the RB / pocket 1 / pocket 3 table, when the stop switch 42 that is operated first is the middle stop switch 42, the win 1 always wins the active lines L1 to L9. On the other hand, when the stop switch 42 operated first is the left or right stop switch 42, there is a case where the small role 3 wins and a case where the small role 3 does not win. The small role 1 wins the active line L10. Therefore, RB will not win.

Further, in the RB / pocket 1 / pocket 4 table, when the stop switch 42 operated first is the right stop switch 42, the win 1 always wins the active lines L1 to L9. On the other hand, when the stop switch 42 operated first is the left or middle stop switch 42, there is a case where the small role 4 wins and a case where the small role 4 does not win. The small role 1 wins the active line L10. Therefore, RB will not win.
Furthermore, in the RB table, there are a case where the RB wins and a case where the RB does not win (the role is not won).

Further, in the small combination 1 table, the small combination 1 always wins the active lines L1 to L9.
Further, the small role 2 table includes a case where the small role 2 wins and a case where the small role 2 does not win (the role is not won). The same applies to the small role 3 table, the small role 4 table, and the small role 5 table.

Returning to FIG.
The stop symbol determination means 66 determines whether or not the symbol combination of the reel 31 stopped on the effective line matches the symbol combination corresponding to any combination when the reel 31 is stopped. The stop symbol determination means 66 determines a symbol on the effective line by detecting, for example, an angle or the number of steps when the motor 32 is stopped.
However, when the stop switch 42 is operated and the stop position is determined using the stop position determination table 65, the stop symbol determination means 66 determines the stop symbol regardless of whether or not the reel 31 has stopped. It is possible.

  The payout means 67 determines that the combination of symbols stopped on the active line when the reel 31 is stopped matches the combination of symbols corresponding to any of the combinations by the stop symbol determination unit 66 and the winning combination is won. In addition, a predetermined number of medals are paid out to the player in accordance with the winning combination, or processing such as credit addition is performed.

Further, when the symbol combination corresponding to the combination is simultaneously stopped on a plurality of effective lines, the payout means 67 controls to pay out the number obtained by multiplying the number of effective lines.
Here, all the combinations of symbols corresponding to the small combinations 2 to 5, replay 1, and replay 2 do not stop at a plurality of effective lines at the same time.
On the other hand, when the small combination 1 stops on one effective line L10 (when the "bell" symbol stops on the upper stage when the middle reel 31 stops), and simultaneously on the nine effective lines L1 to L9. And when it stops (when the “bell” symbol stops at the middle stage when the middle reel 31 stops). In the former case, the number of payouts is 1 × 1 (number of effective lines) = 1. In the latter case, the number of payouts is 1 × 9 (number of effective lines) = 9. .

The special game control means 68 controls the start of the RB game, which is a special game, the progress of the game during the RB game, and the end of the RB game.
During the normal game, when the symbol combination corresponding to the RB is stopped on the active line, the RB is won, and the special game control means 68 controls to start the RB game from the next game.
In the RB game, the lottery of the combination is performed using the above-described combination lottery table 62C. As a result, during the RB game, the winning probability of the small role 1 is increased.

In the present embodiment, the RB game end condition is set such that the number of games is two.
For this reason, the special game control means 68 counts the number of games during the RB game, and when it is determined that the count value is “2”, the special game control means 68 controls to end the RB game with the game.

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

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

The production control means 69 includes AT game control means 69a.
Here, the “AT (Assist Time) game” is provided with a specific small role (may be a replay) having a case where a winning is made and a case where a winning is not made depending on the pressing order or operation timing of the stop switch 42, and a normal game During a game, a specific combination can be won only by chance, but during AT games, the push order or operation timing of the stop switch 42 for winning the specific combination or the operation timing (designs aimed at the active line, etc.) shall be notified. Thus, if the player operates the stop switch 42 according to the notification, the player can increase the winning rate of the specific combination (can surely win the specific combination).

  In this embodiment, a small combination 1 is provided as a combination corresponding to the specific combination. In the inside, when winning the small combination 1, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination 1 stops on one active line L10 according to the pressing order of the stop switch 42, and one medal is paid out. Although there are cases where nine medals are paid out by stopping on nine active lines L1 to L9, in the AT game of the present embodiment, when the small role 1 is won (the overlap between the small role 1 and the small role 2) The combination of symbols corresponding to small role 1 stops at nine active lines L1 to L9 at the time of winning, overlapping winning of small role 1 and small role 3 and overlapping winning of small role 1 and small role 4) The order of pressing the stop switch 42 (the stop switch 42 to be operated first) is notified.

If the RB is won by the winning lottery means 61 during the normal game, as described above, the combination of symbols corresponding to the RB does not stop at the effective line in the game, so that the game from the next game becomes an internal game. The AT game control means 69a performs control so that the AT game is executed in the game inside.
When the AT game control means 69a shifts to an internal game, the AT game control means 69a first determines whether or not to execute the AT game (one set) in the first game by a lottery using software random numbers. . In this embodiment, it is set to win with a probability of 80%.

  Then, when transitioning to the inside, a 7-game non-AT game (ordinary inside game) is initially performed. Between these seven games, whether or not the AT game is won in the first game lottery is output as a result. For example, the image display device 23 controls to output an effect in which the main character and the enemy character confront each other and win. Here, when the lottery is won, an effect that the main character wins (an effect meaning that AT game is executed) is output, and when the lottery is not won, the enemy character wins ( Control is performed so as to output an effect meaning that the AT game is not executed.

Then, after winning seven games, if the winning is made by lottery of AT game, control is performed so that the AT game is executed from the next game.
In addition, when winning in the AT game lottery, the lottery is performed together with the number of games of the AT game. There are four types of games, 10 games, 30 games, 50 games, and 100 games. A selection rate is predetermined for each number of games. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing the number of AT games and the selection rate thereof. As shown in FIG. 9, for example, the selection rate for 10 games is set to 40%.

  During the AT game, when the winning combination of the small role 1 and the small role 2 is overlapped, the overlapping winning of the small role 1 and the small role 3 or the overlapping winning combination of the small role 1 and the small role 4 is performed. The player is provided with a stop switch 42 to be operated first for stopping the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 1 on the nine effective lines L1 to L9 (the “bell” symbol is stopped at the middle stage of the middle reel 31). Is controlled so as to be notified. For example, when overlapping winning of the small role 1 and small role 2 is displayed on the image display device 23 "Please operate from the left stop switch 42", and when overlapping winning of the small role 1 and small role 3 is " “Please operate from the middle stop switch 42” is displayed, and when the small winning combination 1 and small winning combination 4 are won, the image is displayed as “Please operate from the right stop switch 42”. Furthermore, it controls so that the said wording may be output as a sound from the speaker 22.

  Therefore, when the above notification is made during an AT game, the player knows that the small combination 1 and the small combination 2 to the small combination 4 are won, and in which order the push switch 42 is operated. For example, it is possible to know whether the combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination 1 is stopped on the effective lines L1 to L9.

  When one set of AT games is completed, the game again shifts to a non-AT game. Then, whether or not to execute the AT game again in the first game of the non-AT game is determined by lottery, and the lottery result is displayed as an effect as an effect during the seven games of the non-AT game. Note that the above notification is not performed even when a small winning combination 1 and a small winning combination 2 to a small winning combination 4 are won in a non-AT game between seven games.

As described above, if the AT game lottery continues to be won, 7 games of non-AT games and 10, 30, 50, or 100 games of AT games can be repeated.
In addition, when the AT game lottery is not won, the game is still a non-AT game (the AT game lottery is not performed). Therefore, the player can win the RB carrying over the winning and shift to the RB game.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 7, the game is not won in the game with a probability of 24/100. In this game, the RB table is used as described above, and the RB can be won.
However, when an RB wins during an AT game, the AT game control means 69a controls to end the AT game with the game. For this reason, the player needs to be careful not to win the RB during the AT game and the 7-game non-AT game.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, the AT game control unit 69a notifies that an RB winning should be avoided in a game in which an RB table is used during an AT game and a non-AT game of 7 games. Since the combination of symbols corresponding to RB is “7”-“7”-“7”, for example, when the left reel 31 is stopped, symbols 14 to 16 (“BAR”, “ Notify that “Cherry” and “BAR”) should stop. If the left stop switch 42 is operated aiming at this range, the 7th “7” symbol of the left reel 31 will not stop in the display window 11 (any valid line). Therefore, winning of RB can be avoided.

Next, the payout rate will be described.
First, “the expected value of the number of medals to be paid out per game” means a winning probability of a combination in one game × the number of payouts. The expected value of the “difference number” per game means the expected value of the increase / decrease number of medals per game, and can be expressed as “expected value of payout number−insertion number”. When the expected value of the difference number is a positive value, it is a gaming state in which medals increase as the game progresses, and when it is a negative value, the medals decrease as the game progresses. It is a game state to go.
Further, the “delay rate” can be expressed as “expected value of payout number / insertion number”, and when the value exceeds 1, it is a gaming state in which medals increase as the game progresses. When the value is less than 1, the game state is such that medals decrease as the game progresses.

When it is a non-AT game in the inside, at the time of overlapping winning of Minor 1 and Minor 2, when overlapping winning of Minor 1 and Minor 3, You can get 9 payouts with a probability of 3, and you can get 1 payout with a probability of 2/3.
Here, it is assumed that in the case of overlapping winning of the small role 1 and the small role 5, it is assumed that the small role 5 always wins, and when the replay 1 or the replay 2 is won, it is assumed that three medals are paid out. The expected value of the number of medals paid out per game in non-AT games inside is
3 × (1/5 × 1/3 × 9 + 1/5 × 2/3 × 1) + 9 × (1/100 + 1/300) + 3 × (1 / 7.3 × 9/10 + 1/300) + 3 × (1 / 7.3 × 1/10 + 1/300)
≒ 2.75 (sheets)
It becomes.
Therefore, the expected value of the difference is
2.75-3
= -0.25 (sheets)
It becomes.
Also, the payout rate is
2.75 / 3
≒ 0.92
It becomes.

  As a result, the inside and non-AT games are in a gaming state in which medals decrease as the game progresses (a gaming state that is disadvantageous to the player). For this reason, there is no merit for the player to prolong the non-AT game, so it is advantageous to win RB immediately and shift to RB game.

On the other hand, in the case of an AT game in the inside, at the time of overlapping winning of small role 1 and small role 2, at the time of overlapping winning of small role 1 and small role 3, In accordance with the notification, it is possible to always receive 9 payouts.
Here, it is assumed that in the case of overlapping winning of the small role 1 and the small role 5, it is assumed that the small role 5 always wins, and when the replay 1 or the replay 2 is won, it is assumed that three medals are paid out. The expected value of the number of medals paid out per game in the AT game inside is
3 × (1/5 × 9) + 9 × (1/100 + 1/300) + 3 × (1 / 7.3 × 9/10 + 1/300) + 3 × (1 / 7.3 × 1/10 + 1/300)
≒ 5.95 (sheets)
It becomes.
Therefore, the expected value of the difference is
5.95-3
= +2.95 (sheets)
It becomes.
Also, the payout rate is
5.95 / 3
≒ 1.98
It becomes.
As a result, the inside and AT games are gaming states in which medals increase with the progress of the game, which is an advantageous gaming state for the player.

In non-internal (non-AT game), when winning a combination of small roles 1 and 2, when winning a combination of small roles 1 and 3, and when winning a combination of small roles 1 and 4 You can get a single payout.
Here, it is assumed that in the case of overlapping winning of the small role 1 and the small role 5, it is assumed that the small role 5 always wins, and when the replay 1 or the replay 2 is won, it is assumed that three medals are paid out. The expected value of the number of medals paid out per game in the non-inside is
3 × (1/5 × 1) + 9 × (1/100 + 1/300) + 3 × (1 / 7.3 × 9/10 + 1/300) + 3 × (1 / 7.3 × 1/10 + 1/300)
≒ 1.15 (sheets)
It becomes.
Therefore, the expected value of the difference is
1.15-3
= -1.85 (sheets)
It becomes.
Also, the payout rate is
1.15 / 3
≒ 0.92
It becomes.

  As a result, the non-internal state is a gaming state in which medals decrease as the game progresses (a gaming state that is disadvantageous for the player). In particular, during non-inside, the degree of medal reduction is more significant than in the inside and during non-AT games.

The expected value of the number of medals paid out per game during RB games is
9 x 1 / 1.05 + 3 x (1 x 1/500) + 9 x 1/500
≒ 8.60 (sheets)
It becomes.
Therefore, the expected value of the difference is
8.60-3
= +5.60 (sheets)
It becomes.
Also, the payout rate is
5.60 / 3
≒ 1.87
It becomes.
Therefore, the RB game is a game state in which medals increase as the game progresses, and is a game state that is advantageous to the player.

  In the slot machine 10 described above, a player plays a game while waiting for an RB to be won during non-interior. And when RB is won, since RB does not win in the game, the game from the next game becomes the game inside. In this internal game, the player can repeat the non-AT game and the AT game by paying attention not to win the RB and winning the AT game lottery. That is, the AT game can be executed using the game inside. In addition, when a game is not won in a lottery of an AT game and becomes a non-AT game in the inside, the player can quickly win an RB and shift to an RB game.

  In addition, in both non-internal, internal and non-AT games, and internal and AT games, if a winning combination is given to small role 1 and small roles 2 to 4, it is possible that the winning combination will not be won. One of the roles wins. However, in the non-inside, and in the inside and non-AT game, even if the small role 1 wins, one medal is paid out (for 3 inserted coins), so an increase in medals cannot be expected. On the other hand, in the inside and AT game, by following the notification, it is possible to receive nine medals by simultaneously stopping the small combination 1 on the nine active lines L1 to L9.

  Further, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 1 is “any”-“bell”-“any”, but the left reel 31 and the right reel 31 are stopped in the non-inside and in the inside and non-AT games. The outcomes vary, so that “bell”-“bell”-“bell” are not aligned in a straight line, and the payout number is only one. It is possible to give less to the player. On the other hand, in the inside and AT games, when the small role 1 is won, “bell”-“bell”-“bell” are aligned in a straight line (on the effective line) and there are 9 payouts. It is possible to give a feeling that the role 1 has won the prize. Therefore, even if the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 1 and the number of medals paid out per active line of the small role 1 are the same, the non-internal or internal and non-AT games, the internal or AT The impression given to the player at the time of winning can be different depending on the game.

As mentioned above, although one Embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to embodiment mentioned above, The following various deformation | transformation are possible.
(1) In this embodiment, when the stop switch 42 is not pressed in the non-inside and inside (hereinafter referred to as pattern 1), the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 1 is one effective line. When the stop switch 42 is pressed correctly in the interior (hereinafter referred to as pattern 2), the combination of symbols corresponding to the small part 1 is stopped at nine effective lines L1 to L9. I made it. However, not limited to this, the number of effective lines where the symbol combination corresponding to the small role 1 in the pattern 1 stops is “M”, and the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 1 in the pattern 2 is effective to stop at the effective line. When the number of lines is “N”, any number may be set as long as the condition of “M <N” is satisfied. For example, M may be 2 or more.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of the effective line at this time. In this example, five effective lines L11 to L15 are provided. For example, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 1 is set to “bell”-“bell”-“any”. In this case, in the pattern 1, the “bell” symbols of the left reel 31 and the middle reel 31 are stopped at the upper stage. As a result, there are two effective lines L11 and L12 (M) where the symbol combination corresponding to the small combination 1 stops. On the other hand, in the pattern 2, the “bell” symbols of the left reel 31 and the middle reel 31 are stopped at the middle stage. As a result, there are three (N) effective lines L13, L14, and L15 at which the symbol combination corresponding to the small combination 1 stops. Therefore, “M <N” and “M = 2 (M ≠ 1)” can be set.

(2) Although the number of effective lines is 10 in this embodiment, the number is not limited to this, and it is sufficient that at least three are provided. That is, in the case of pattern 1, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 1 is stopped on one effective line, and in the case of pattern 2, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 2 is stopped on two effective lines. This is because (M <N).
Further, the medal payout number of the small combination 1 is set to one, but the number is not limited to this, and may be set to any number. For example, when the combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination 1 stops at one effective line when the pattern is 1, and stops at three effective lines when the pattern is 2, the payout number of the small combination 1 is 3 It is possible to set to 4 sheets, 4 sheets or 5 sheets. Similarly, for example, when the pattern 1 is stopped at three effective lines, and when the pattern 2 is stopped at six effective lines, the payout number of the small part 1 is set to two.

  (3) In this embodiment, an RB is provided as a special role, and an AT game is executed inside the RB. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and other special roles such as BB may be provided, and the AT game may be executed inside these other special roles.

  (4) In this embodiment, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 1 is set to “any”-“bell”-“any”. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when only one symbol is defined, "bell"-"any"-"any" or "any"-"any"-"bell" may be used. When two symbols are defined, “bell”-“bell”-“any”, “bell”-“any”-“bell”, “any”-“bell”-“bell” in the above example are used. There may be. Furthermore, when two symbols are defined, “RP” is mixed with “RP” which is a symbol arranged at intervals other than “5” symbols other than “BELL” (which can always be stopped at a desired position). -"RP"-"any" etc. may be sufficient.

  Further, for the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 1, symbols can be set for all the reels 31 such as “bell”-“bell”-“bell”. FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example at this time. First, FIG. 11A shows an example of the right reel 31. In this figure, illustrations of symbols other than the “bell” symbol are omitted. The right reel 31 is provided with locations where every other “bell” symbol is arranged, and portions where every other “bell” symbol is arranged are arranged at intervals of 5 symbols or less. In this way, the reel control means 64 can always stop the “bell” symbol on the upper and lower stages of the right reel 31 at the same time, and can always stop the “bell” symbol only on the middle stage. .

  And as an effective line, as shown to FIG.11 (b) and (c), it sets to three of L21-L23. In this case, when the pattern is 1, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 1 is stopped at one effective line L21. When the pattern is 2, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 1 is two effective. The line L22 and L23 may be stopped.

  (5) In the present embodiment, in the case of pattern 2, the left stop switch 42 when the small combination 1 and the small combination 2 are won, the middle stop switch 42 when the small combination 1 and the small combination 3 are won, the small combination When the right stop switch 42 is operated first at the time of overlapping winning of 1 and the small role 4, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 1 is stopped at the nine effective lines L1 to L9. However, six winning combinations overlapping with the small role 1 are provided, and the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is “left middle right”, “left / right middle”, “middle left / right”, “middle right left”, “right left middle”, and By assigning “right middle left” respectively, it is possible to further increase the difference in the number of acquired medals between the non-AT game and the AT game.

  Further, the small role 1 is elected alone, and three types of the small role 1A, the small role 1B, and the small role 1C are provided as the types of the small role 1. Further, the combination of symbols of the small combination 1A to the small combination 1C is the same. When the left stop switch is first operated, the small combination 1A is stopped when the combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination 1 stops at N active lines, and the middle or right stop switch 42 is operated first. Is a small combination in which the combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination 1 stops on M active lines. In addition, when the middle stop switch is first operated, the small combination 1B is stopped when the combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination 1 is stopped in N active lines, and the left or right stop switch 42 is first operated. Is a small combination in which the combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination 1 stops on M active lines. Furthermore, in the small role 1C, when the right stop switch is first operated, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 1 is stopped in N effective lines, and the left or middle stop switch 42 is first operated. In some cases, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination 1 is a small combination that stops on M active lines. Even if it does in this way, the effect similar to this embodiment will be acquired. That is, it is not always necessary to make the winning combination of the small combination 1 and another small combination.

(6) In the present embodiment, the AT game is executed inside, but the present invention can also be applied to a slot machine that does not execute the AT game.
As shown in the above embodiment, the expected value of the difference number per game in the non-internal is −1.85, but the expected value of the difference number per game in the non-AT game in the internal. Is -0.25 sheets. Therefore, medals decrease relatively quickly in the non-inside, but decrease in medals becomes moderate in the inside. In other words, in the inside, it becomes a gaming state in which medals are not reduced so much, and it is similar to RT (Replay Time) game in which the winning probability of replay is high. In this way, it is possible to create a gaming state in which the expected value of the number of difference is greatly different between the inside and the inside.

  (7) In a game in which the RB / replay 1 table is used, when a symbol combination corresponding to the replay 1 is awarded, the game is stopped at a specific bent effective line (for example, an effective line L1 having a V shape), and the RB In a game in which the winning flag 63a is off, the player can be notified that the RB is won by setting the active line L1 so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay 1 does not stop. . As a result, the game after the next game is an internal game, and the player is informed that the AT game will start or may start, and that the player will not win the RB carrying over the winning. You can call attention to it.

(8) In the present embodiment, RB and Replay 1 are won in duplicate, but RB (special role) and one or more small roles may be won in duplicate.
(9) In the present embodiment, when the game moves into the inside, a lottery is performed as to whether or not to execute an AT game, and a continuous lottery is further performed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and an AT game may be executed for a predetermined number of games (for example, 100 games), and after the number of games has been consumed, the game may be shifted to a non-AT game inside.
(10) In this embodiment, medals are used as game media. However, the present invention can be applied to slot machines that use game media other than medals, such as slot machines (parrots) using game balls. .
