Description

  The present invention relates to a rotating game machine (slot machine) for playing a game using medals.

  2. Description of the Related Art A spinning-type gaming machine that performs a game in which a plurality of spinning cylinders on which a plurality of types of symbols are drawn is rotated and the respective spinning cylinders are stopped so that a predetermined combination of symbols is aligned is widely known. In a spinning-type game machine, when a game medium such as a game medal or a game ball is bet and the start lever is operated, an internal lottery of game players is determined to determine a winning combination and rotation of all the spinning cylinders is started. Next, if the player operates the stop button of each torso to stop the torso and the combination of symbols corresponding to the internal winning gamer (winning role) is prepared, the winning of the gamer is established. The player is given a privilege according to the winning game player.

  In such a revolving game machine, a replay time game in which the probability of winning a re-gamer who can start the next game without starting the betting operation on the game medium is set higher than usual. A gaming machine provided with a privilege game called (RT game) is known (see Patent Document 1). When this RT game is started, there is a high possibility that a re-gamer will be established, and game players other than the re-gamer may also be established, so that the game can be played without reducing game medals compared to the normal game state. It is possible to continue. Furthermore, in the gaming machine of Patent Document 1, it has been proposed to provide a chance game (specific game) that can be transferred to a special game in order to enhance the gaming interest.

JP 2008-220427 A

  However, the transition condition from chance game to privilege game (establishing a combination of specific symbols, digesting a predetermined number of games, etc.) is unchanged, and the probability of establishment of the transition condition (transition probability from chance game to privilege game) Is constant. For this reason, when the chance game is executed several times, the player can predict the probability of transition from the chance game to the privilege game. Temporarily, the transition probability is set to be low, and there is a problem that the interest of the player in the chance game is reduced when the player knows that.

  The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-described problems, and improves the interest of chance games in a revolving game machine that shifts to a bonus game when a transition condition is satisfied during the execution of a chance game. For the purpose.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides:
When a predetermined number of game media are inserted and a plurality of spinning cylinders are rotated, and the spinning cylinders stop, a predetermined symbol combination is established, and a predetermined privilege according to the type of symbol combination is given to the player. In the spinning-type game machine that performs one game by granting,
A game state control means for executing at least one of a normal game, a chance game, and a bonus game that is more advantageous to the player than the normal game and the chance game;
Chance game transition means for shifting to the chance game when the first transition condition is satisfied during execution of the normal game;
Bonus game transfer means for transferring to the bonus game when a second transfer condition is satisfied during execution of the chance game;
Normal game transition means for transitioning from the chance game to the normal game when a third transition condition is satisfied during execution of the chance game;
A probability improving means for improving a probability of establishment of the second transition condition when a specific condition different from the second transition condition and the third transition condition is satisfied during execution of the chance game;
It is characterized by having.

  As described above, when the second transition condition is satisfied in the chance game, the second transition is performed when a specific condition different from the second transition condition and the third transition condition is satisfied during the chance game. By making the conditions easier to establish, the transition probability from chance game to privilege game (the probability of establishment of the second transition condition) can be changed to a high probability, and the transition probability can be predicted as in the past. Decline can be prevented. In addition, the player has great interest not only in the establishment of the second transition condition during the chance game but also in the establishment of the specific condition, so that the game interest during the chance game can be effectively enhanced.

The normal game transition means is a means for shifting from the chance game to the normal game when a predetermined normal symbol combination is established during execution of the chance game.
The second transition condition is established when a predetermined number of games are executed without establishing the normal symbol combination, and the predetermined number is decreased by 1 every time the one game is performed. Because
The probability improving means improves the probability of establishment of the second transition condition by reducing the predetermined number by one or more when the specific condition is established in the game. By setting the number of games as the condition for shifting to a game, a certain amount of gaming time can be secured before shifting to a bonus game, and the operating time of the gaming machine can be improved according to the intention of the gaming machine designer. There is an effect that the profit of the amusement store can be improved. In addition, since the number of games until the transition to the bonus game due to the establishment of the specific condition is shortened by “1” or more, it can be clarified that the probability of transition from the chance game to the bonus game is improved. In other words, for example, “symbol combination establishment” is set as the transition condition, and even if the establishment probability of this symbol combination is improved, there is a possibility that it is difficult to convey that the situation is advantageous to the player. However, according to the present invention, the player can clearly grasp that the situation has become advantageous, and can effectively improve the game interest during the chance game.

Further, in the spinning type gaming machine of the present invention, the second transition condition is satisfied when the game is executed a predetermined number of times without establishing the normal symbol combination within a predetermined time,
Game execution feasibility determination means for determining whether or not the predetermined number of the games can be executed within the predetermined time;
The probability improving means determines that the predetermined number of times of the game has been executed within the predetermined time when the game execution possibility determining means determines that the predetermined number of times of the game cannot be executed within the predetermined time. The establishment probability of the second transition condition is improved by shortening the predetermined number of times or extending the predetermined time so as to be executable.

  Thus, by setting the time limit (predetermined time) in addition to the conditions for establishing the second transition condition, the game progress speed of the player can be increased, and the operation of the gaming machine can be improved. In addition, even if a predetermined number of times (the number of times of clearing) cannot be executed within the time limit, the player will be able to reduce the number of times to clear or extend the time limit due to the establishment of a specific condition. It becomes interested and expected to establish a specific condition until immediately before the end of the chance game, and the interest during the chance game can be continuously improved until the end of the chance game.

Further, in the rotating type gaming machine of the present invention, the first transition condition is established when a predetermined chance symbol combination is established,
The probability improving means improves the establishment probability of the second transition condition when the chance symbol combination is established during execution of the chance game.

  With this configuration, a symbol combination advantageous to the player can be shared between different gaming states. In addition, by setting the specific condition as a combination of symbols, it is possible to give an impression that the specific condition is satisfied by the player's own operation by operating the rotation stop button of the player himself. Can be improved.

In addition, various lamps 12, various speakers 14 and 114, the effect display device 10, the rotating backlight 20 </ b> L, and the like are connected to the sub control board 220. Here, the spinning cylinder backlight 20L is a light that is provided inside each of the spinning cylinders 20a to 20c and illuminates the pattern drawn on the surface of the spinning cylinder from the back side. The sub control board 220 analyzes the control command received from the main control board 200, and outputs drive signals to the various lamps 12, the various speakers 14, 114, the effect display device 10, and the rotary backlight 20L, respectively. Various performances using these are performed.

  On the door substrate 240, the medal selector 106 described above, various insertion buttons 32 and 34 for inserting stored game medals, a start lever 36 for starting rotation of the rotating drum, and a rotating rotating drum Spinning stop buttons 38a, 38b, 38c for stopping the game, a settlement button 40 for paying out the stored game medals or the inserted game medals and ending the game, and various display panels for displaying the game status 22 etc. are connected. Further, the door board 240 is connected to the main control board 200 described above so as to be able to communicate data. For this reason, when the start lever 36 provided on the front door 2, the spinning cylinder stop buttons 38a to 38c, the various input buttons 32 and 34, the adjustment button 40, and the like are operated, the signal is mainly transmitted via the door substrate 240.

Is provided. The spinning board 260 drives each of the spinning motors 24a to 24c while detecting the rotational position of each of the spinning cylinders 20a to 20c by the spinning sensors 26a to 26c. It can be stopped at the rotational position. In the gaming machine 1 of this embodiment, so-called stepping motors are used for the spinning motors 24a to 24c.

  The medal payout device 118 is connected to the main control board 200 via a relay board (not shown), and performs an operation of paying out a predetermined number of game medals based on a control signal from the main control board 200.

  These various control boards and the power consumed by the boards are supplied from the power supply board 280. An AC voltage of 100 V is supplied to the power supply board 280, and this electric power is converted into a DC voltage of a specified voltage and then supplied to each control board and board. In FIG. 4, a state in which power is supplied from the power supply board 280 is represented by a dashed arrow.

  Next, the contents of the control performed in order to advance the game in the swivel game machine 1 having the above-described configuration will be described. As a preparation for this, an outline of the game performed in the swivel game machine will be described. Keep it.

  At the start of the game, a game medal is inserted from the game medal slot 30 and a medal bet is placed. The number of game medals to bet is usually fixed to one or three. When game medals are stored in advance as credits, it is possible to bet one or three game medals by pressing the one-sheet insertion button 32 or the three-sheet insertion button 34, respectively.

  When a game medal is bet and the start lever 36 is operated, the three spinning cylinders 20a to 20c start to rotate all at once. Since a plurality of symbols are drawn on the outer peripheral surfaces of the respective spinning cylinders 20a to 20c, when the spinning cylinders 20a to 20c rotate, these symbols are displayed in a variable manner. In addition, on the front side of the front door 2, three rotation stop buttons 38a to 38c are provided corresponding to the respective rotation cylinders (see FIG. 1). When the rotating cylinder stop buttons 38a to 38c are pressed while the rotating cylinders 20a to 20c are rotating, the rotating cylinder corresponding to the pressed button stops rotating, and the symbol that has been variably displayed is associated with any of the symbols. Is stopped and displayed. When the rotation of the three spinning cylinders 20a to 20c is stopped in this way, one of the symbols is stopped and displayed on each of the spinning cylinders. The rotation of the spinning cylinders 20a to 20c is configured such that the CPU 200c of the main control board 200 performs the spinning cylinder rotation stopping process S107 described later.

  In the gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, the size of the display window 20 is set to such a size that three symbols are displayed for each of the drums 20a to 20c. For this reason, when the three spinning cylinders 20a to 20c are stopped and displayed, a total of nine symbols are displayed on the display window 20 in three columns vertically and horizontally. A plurality of winning lines are set in advance at positions where these nine symbols are displayed.

  FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing a winning line set in the gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 5, in the present embodiment, the upper prize line L2, the middle prize line L3, the lower prize line L4, the right diagonally upward prize line L1, and the right diagonally downward prize line L5. A total of 5 winning lines are set. When only one game medal is bet, only the middle pay line L3 is valid, and when three game medals are bet, all five pay lines L1 to L5 are valid. When the three spinning cylinders 20a to 20c are stopped, some symbol combination is obtained on the effective winning line. In the example shown in FIG. 5, five types of linear pay lines L1 to L5 are set, but not limited thereto, for example, the upper position of the left cylinder 20a, the middle position of the middle cylinder 20b, Non-linear shapes such as a winning line connecting the upper position of the right cylinder 20c, a winning line connecting the lower position of the left cylinder 20a, the middle position of the middle cylinder 20b, and the lower position of the right cylinder 20c. You can also set up more types of winning lines by adding winning lines.

  Then, when the symbol combination arranged on the effective winning line is a symbol combination that establishes any game combination, a privilege according to the established game combination is given to the player. FIG. 6 shows symbol combinations set in the gaming machine 1 of this embodiment. FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram in which a combination of symbols and a privilege to be given are associated with the type of game combination. In FIG. 6, the type of the game combination is displayed in the leftmost column, the symbol combination that establishes the game combination is displayed in the center column, and the privilege given to the player when the game combination is established in the rightmost column. It is displayed. These symbol combinations are stored in advance in a ROM mounted on the main control board 200.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the game combination can be roughly divided into a bonus combination and a small combination. RB (Regular Bonus Role) and BB (Big Bonus Role) are set as the bonus roles, and the small role is Bell's Small, Watermelon's Small, Cherry's Small, Re-Play (Replay) ) Is set.

  The RB combination is associated with a symbol combination in which three symbols called “bars” are arranged in each cylinder. When the symbol combination of the RB combination is stopped and displayed on the active line, a privilege of starting a regular bonus game (RB game) is given to the player. In the RB game, a bonus game that increases the probability of winning a prize for each small role is played a predetermined number of times (for example, 12 times), or a small number of prizes are won for a predetermined upper limit (for example, a predetermined number of times) It is executed until (8 times winning) is established.

  The BB role is based on a symbol combination in which three symbols called “Red Seven (red 7)” are arranged in each cylinder, and a symbol combination in which three symbols called “Blue Seven (blue 7)” are arranged in each cylinder. These two types of symbol combinations are associated with each other, and even if any symbol combination is stopped and displayed on the active line, a privilege of starting a big bonus game (BB game) is given to the player. In the BB game, the above-described RB game is performed a plurality of times until a predetermined number (for example, 465) of game medals are paid out. In this way, the BB combination is a gaming state that is more advantageous for the player than the RB combination, and in this embodiment, it is a gaming state that can acquire the largest amount of medals. I can say that.

  The small part of the bell is that the design of the left turn cylinder 20a is "Red Seven", "Blue Seven", or "Bar", and the design of the middle turn cylinder 20b and the right turn cylinder 20c is "Bell" Are set. When the left symbol 20a is "Red Seven", it is called "Bell A Small Role", when the left symbol 20a is "Blue Seven", it is called "Bell B Small Role" and the left symbol 20a is "Bar" The case is referred to as “Bell C's small role”. Fifteen game medals are paid out as a privilege given to the player for the small role of these bells.

  The watermelon small part is set with a symbol combination in which all of the three spinning cylinders 20a to 20c are aligned with the symbol "watermelon". Six game medals are paid out as a privilege for a small watermelon role. In addition, the small part of the cherry is a symbol in which the symbol of the left turning cylinder 20a is “Cherry”, and the symbol symbol combination that can be any combination of symbols in the middle symbol 20b and the right symbol 20c is set. . Two game medals are paid out for the cherry symbol combination. The cherry symbol combination is a starting symbol of an RT game (replay time game) which will be described later, and transitions to the RT game when the cherry symbol combinations are gathered during a normal game. That is, the transition condition from the normal game to the RT game (first transition condition) is that the symbol combinations of cherries are aligned during the normal game. The cherry symbol combination corresponds to the chance symbol combination of the present invention. Details regarding the RT game will be described later.

  Three types of re-game players A to C are provided as re-game players (replays), and different symbol combinations are set for each. Specifically, in the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the replaying combination A including the symbol combination in which all of the three spinning cylinders 20a to 20c are arranged in the “replay” symbol, the middle symbol 20b, and the right symbol 20c. Is a symbol “Bell” and the left symbol 20a is a combination of symbols “B”, and the right symbol 20c is a symbol “Bell”. The left symbol 20a and the middle symbol 20b are “ Three types of re-games are set, which are re-games C composed of symbol combinations that are the symbols of “re-game”. If the combination of any of the re-game players A, B, and C is prepared, the re-game player can be won. As a privilege given to the re-gamer, a right to play a game again without betting a new game medal is given. In other words, it is possible to play a game once again assuming that the same game medal as the bet that was bet when the winning of the re-gamer was established. Note that the symbol combination of the re-gamer C is an end symbol of the RT game (replay time game) described later. When the symbol combinations of the re-gamer C are gathered during the RT game, the RT game ends and the normal game Migrate to It is to be noted that the combination of symbols of the re-gamer C corresponds to the third transition condition of the present invention, and the symbol combination of the re-gamer C corresponds to the normal symbol combination of the present invention.

  When none of the game combinations shown in FIG. 6 is established when the three spinning cylinders 20a to 20c are stopped, after betting one or three game medals again, the start lever 36 is operated. The next game is performed by rotating the spinning cylinders 20a to 20c. In the gaming machine 1 of this embodiment, the game progresses by repeating these operations.

  Which game combination shown in FIG. 6 is to be won is determined by an internal lottery to be described later. In the internal lottery process, the CPU 200c of the main control board 200 internally draws a game combination according to the internal lottery random number acquired at the timing when the start lever 36 is operated. The internal lottery random number is a random number acquired when the main control board 200 receives a start lever operation signal. The random number for internal lottery in this embodiment is 2-byte data, and it is possible to acquire a random number value in the range of 0 to 65535. The internal lottery random number can be generated in hardware using a dedicated random number generation circuit mounted on the main control board 200, or can be generated in software using a random number generation program.

  However, even if one of the game combinations is won in the internal lottery process, the game combination is not immediately established, and the corresponding combination of symbols is aligned on the winning line by operating the rotation stop buttons 38a to 38c. Otherwise, the winning gamer cannot be established. On the other hand, no matter what timing the spinner stop buttons 38a to 38c are operated, the corresponding symbol combinations cannot be arranged on the winning line unless they are won by the internal lottery. As described above, the internal lottery is a lottery performed internally as a precondition for establishing a game combination by aligning symbol combinations. The state in which the internal lottery is won is an internal winning state (or simply an internal winning), in other words, a state in which a winning of a game player (establishment of a symbol combination) is permitted. The internal winning flag is used to determine which game combination has been won internally by the internal lottery. The internal winning flag is a flag used for storing the internal lottery result, and is set to a predetermined address in the RAM of the main control board 200.

  FIG. 7 shows a data structure of a flag used in the gaming machine 1 of this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 7, in the gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, an internal winning flag (small winning combination flag) for the small combination and re-playing combination shown in FIG. 7 (a) and a bonus shown in FIG. 7 (b). The data is stored separately for an internal winning flag (bonus winning internal winning flag) for the combination, and each byte is assigned data.

  As shown in FIG. 7A, all the 8 bits of the 1-byte data assigned to the small role internal winning flag are used as the internal winning flag. The breakdown of these 8 bits is, in order from the top, the bell A, the bell B, the bell C, the watermelon, the cherry, the replay A, the replay B, It is a bit corresponding to the game player C. When any small combination is won internally, “1” is set to the corresponding bit. Further, as shown in FIG. 7B, in the 1-byte data assigned to the bonus combination internal winning flag, the lower 3 bits are used as the internal winning flag. The leading bits of these three bits are bits corresponding to the BB combination (red 7), the BB combination (blue 7), and the RB combination (bar) in order from the top. If any BB combination is won internally, “1” is set in the corresponding bit.

  The internal lottery of the game combination is performed using a lottery table in which a random number range is set for each game combination. The contents of the lottery table vary depending on the gaming state. The gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment is provided with four types of gaming states of normal games, RT games (replay time games), RB games (regular bonus games), and BB games (big bonus games). The game is played while the game state is switched. The current gaming state is set in the gaming state flag. An area for 1 byte for setting a game state flag is secured at a predetermined address of the RAM mounted on the main control board 200.

  FIG. 7C is an explanatory view exemplifying a data structure of an area for 1 byte in which the game state flag is set. In the gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, the lower 4 bits of 1-byte data at a predetermined address on the RAM are used as gaming state flags. Of these 4 bits, the least significant bit is set as a re-game flag indicating that the game can be resumed without inserting a game medal because re-game is established. The RT game flag is set to the second bit from the least significant bit. When this bit is set to “1”, the RT game flag is set to ON. Also, the RB game flag is set to the third bit from the least significant bit, and when “1” is set to this bit, the RB game flag is set to ON. The BB game flag is set to the fourth bit from the least significant bit, and when “1” is set to this bit, the BB game flag is set to ON.

  Here, each game state will be described together with a corresponding lottery table. FIG. 8 shows a state where each gaming state is switched. As shown in FIG. 8, a normal game can be switched to an RT game or a bonus game, an RT game can be switched to a normal game or a bonus game, and a bonus game can be switched to a normal game. Switching between the plurality of game states (start and end of each game state) is performed by the main control board 200 selecting a lottery table stored in the ROM.

  First, the normal game will be described. Immediately after the game is started (when the game state is initialized by performing a RAM clear process or the like), the game state flag of FIG. 7C is set to “0” in all bits. Therefore, the game state is set to the normal game which is the most common game state. In the normal game state, an internal lottery is performed using the normal game lottery table. FIG. 9A shows the lottery table for normal games, and FIG. 9B shows the correspondence between each game combination set in the lottery table for normal games and the random number range of the random numbers for internal lottery. In the lottery table for normal games shown in FIG. 9A, a random number value of 0 to 1999 is set for “bell A + B + C small combination”. This indicates that when the acquired random number value is within this range, the winning combination of Bell A, Bell B, and Bell C overlaps internally. When a plurality of game combinations are set for random values in the same range as described above, these game combinations are called duplicate combinations.

  Similarly, 2000-3999 for "Bell A Minor", 4000-5999 for "Bell B Minor", 6000-7999 for "Bell C Minor", and "Watermelon Minor" 8000-10299, 10300-10599 for “Cherry's Small Role”, 10600-14599 for “Replaying Role A”, 14600-18599 for “Replaying Role B”, “Replaying Role A + C (Replaying Role A) And "re-playing role C"), 18600-19099, "re-playing role B + C (re-playing role B and re-playing role C)" 19100-19599, "BB role" 19600- In 19799, “RB combination”, random numbers 19800 to 19999 are set. No game combination is set in the random number values 20000 to 65535, and if the acquired random number value is within this range, it is “out”.

  If “Winning Replay A + C (Duplicate of Replaying A and C)” or “Replaying B + C (Dupling of Replay B and Replay C)” is won internally, The combination of symbols to be stopped and displayed (the replaying player to win) is determined according to the operation order of the body stop buttons 38a to 38c. Specifically, in the case where “re-gamer A + C (duplicate role of re-gamer A and re-gamer C)” is won internally, the left-turn cylinder stop button 38a is operated first, and the left-turn cylinder 20a is When the forward push for the first stop is performed, the symbol combination of the re-gamer A is stopped and displayed, and the middle-cylinder stop button 38b or the right-turn cylinder stop button 38c is operated first, and the middle-cylinder 20b or the right-turn cylinder is operated. When the middle press or the reverse press for stopping 20c first is performed, the symbol combination of the re-game player C is stopped and displayed. On the other hand, in the case of “winning replaying game B + C (duplicating role of replaying game A and replaying game C)”, the symbol combination of replaying game B will be stopped and displayed when the middle or reverse push is performed. When the forward push is performed, the symbol combination of the re-gamer C is stopped and displayed. Note that this stop control (a stop control that differs depending on the order of pushing when the re-game combination is won internally) is executed in the same way during the RT game described later.

  In this embodiment, in the normal game and the chance game described later, “re-playing role A + C (re-playing role A and re-playing role C)” or “re-playing role B + C (re-playing role B and re-playing role C) In the case where an internal winning is selected for “duplicate combination of”, the display area of the effect display device 10 is configured to display a message prompting selection of the pressing order, “select between forward pressing, middle pressing, and reverse pressing”. And, in the normal game and the chance game, this push order selection has a different meaning, and the specification is effectively enhanced. This point will be described later.

  As described above, the normal game can be switched to either the RT game or the bonus game (see FIG. 8). That is, when the symbol combination of the bonus combination (RB combination or BB combination) is established during the normal game, the gaming state is switched to the bonus game. Further, when the symbol combination of cherry, which is the starting symbol of the RT game, is established during the normal game (when the first transition condition is established), the gaming state is switched to the RT game.

  Next, RT game is demonstrated. In the RT game, an internal lottery is performed using an RT game lottery table. FIG. 10 shows a lottery table for RT games. Compared with the normal game lottery table shown in FIG. 9, the RT game lottery table is “re-game player A”, “re-game player B”, “re-game player A + C (re-game player A and re-game player C). ”And“ re-game player B + C (re-game role B and re-game role C) ”, the range of random numbers for internal winning is expanded. Further, the outlier random number range is reduced accordingly. In the RT game, since the internal lottery process is performed using such a lottery table, the RT game is in a game state in which a winning of a re-gamer can be easily established with a high probability.

  If you win a re-gamer, you can play the next game without inserting a game medal, so by frequently winning this re-gamer, the game medal held by the player will not be reduced relatively It becomes possible to play. Therefore, the longer the RT game is, the more advantageous it is for the player, and it is possible to enjoy the chance to win the bonus combination such as the BB combination without reducing the medals.

  From the RT game, the game state can be switched to either a bonus game or a normal game (see FIG. 8). That is, when the symbol combination of the bonus combination is established during the RT game, the gaming state is switched to the bonus game. Further, when the symbol combination of the re-gamer C, which is the end symbol of the RT game, is established during the RT game, the RT game is ended and the gaming state is switched to the normal game.

  As shown in FIG. 8, RT games are divided into chance games and privilege games. When shifting from the normal game to the RT game, the game shifts to the chance game first, and when a predetermined transfer condition (second transfer condition) is established during the chance game, the game shifts from the chance game to the privilege game. During the bonus game, a navigation effect described later is performed, which is more advantageous to the player than the chance game. That is, the chance game and the bonus game are different in the presence or absence of the navigation effect, and the navigation effect is executed by the control of the sub-control board 220 as will be described later. Will be executed. As described above, since the normal game and the RT game are executed by the control of the main control board 200, the normal game, the chance game, and the privilege game are executed by the control of the main control board 200 and the sub control board 220. Become. For this reason, the main control board 200 and the sub control board 220 correspond to the game state control means of the present invention, the main control board 200 corresponds to the chance game transfer means and the normal game transfer means, and the sub control board 220 corresponds to the bonus game transfer. It corresponds to the means.

  The gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment is configured such that a mission effect is performed during a chance game. In the mission effect, first, a mission having a predetermined content is presented to the player at the start of the chance game, and when the content of the mission is achieved, a second transition condition for shifting to the privilege game is established. And a predetermined | prescribed privilege (navigation effect) is provided to a player by shifting from a chance game to a privilege game. The mission effect is performed by the CPU of the sub control board 220 executing a mission effect execution process S340 described later.

  In the mission effect of the present embodiment, the content of the mission to be achieved is to digest a predetermined number of games. In other words, during the predetermined number of games, it is the mission content that the symbol combination of the re-gamer C, which is the end symbol of the RT game, is not stopped and the transition from the RT game to the normal game is not made. This is the second transition condition for transitioning to a special game. In the present embodiment, since the second transition condition is to digest a predetermined number of games without stopping and displaying the combination of symbols of the re-gamer C, this “predetermined number of games (hereinafter“ digestion ”). As for “number of games”, the shorter the period, the more advantageous to the player.

  In the present embodiment, the “digestion game number”, which is an important part of the content of the mission, is selected according to the set value of the payout rate and the count value added during the normal game. As described above, the “development rate setting value” is set in a plurality of stages, and in this embodiment, any one of “1”, “2”, “5”, and “6” is set. Is set. The set value of the starting rate is more advantageous to the player as the numerical value is larger, and can be arbitrarily set by the administrator of the game hall.

  The “count value added during the normal game” is, for example, a level gauge from “0” to “8” is displayed in the display area of the effect display device 10 during the normal game, and “0” is the initial value. The level gauge value may be increased to a maximum of “8” according to the progress of the game. In the present embodiment, the symbol combination of the replaying role C is stopped when the internal combination is won for the above-mentioned overlapping roles (“replaying role A + C”, “replaying role B + C”) of the replays A to C during the normal game. Operation of the spinning cylinder stop button 38 in the operation order to be displayed is a condition for increasing the level gauge by one. The level gauge is cleared (reset to the initial value) when a chance game (RT game) is started and the content of the mission is determined. In this manner, during the normal game, the stop control for stopping and displaying the symbol combination of “re-playing player C” which is meaningless is used in association with other effects, so that the entire gaming machine is efficient and efficient. The range of production can be expanded. Level gauge display control, increase control, and clear control are performed by the sub-control board 220.

  FIG. 11 shows a second transition condition lottery table for lottery of the number of digested games (second transition condition) of mission effects. As shown in FIG. 11, ten types of “3” to “50” are prepared for the number of digest games, and a plurality of second transition condition lottery tables based on the combination of the set value of the payout rate and the level gauge. Is set. In each second transition condition lottery table, the selection rate of each number of digested games is set based on the combination of the set value of the payout rate and the level gauge. The denominator of the selection rate is set to “256”, and any number of digest games is selected by random number lottery.

  For example, when the set value of the payout rate is “1” and the level gauge is “0”, the selection rate of the digest game number “3” is 8/256, and the selection rate of the digest game number “50” is 248/256. It has become. Further, when the set value of the payout rate is “6” and the level gauge is “2”, the selection rate of the digest game number “5” is 4/256, and the selection rate of the digest game number “10” is 4/256. The selection rate of the digestion game number “15” is 12/256, the selection rate of the digestion game number “20” is 20/256, the selection rate of the digestion game number “25” is 28/256, and the digestion game number “30”. The selection rate is 60/256, and the selection rate of the number of digested games “35” is 128/256.

  As is clear from FIG. 11, with each set value, the larger the level gauge value, the easier it is to select a smaller number of games as the number of digested games. As for the level gauges “0” to “5”, the larger the set value, the easier it is to select a smaller number of games as the number of digested games. On the other hand, level gauges “6” to “8” have a uniform selection rate regardless of the set value. In other words, if the player can accumulate the level gauge from “6” to “8” during the normal game, even if the minimum setting “1” is set as the setting value, the selection rate remains the same as the other setting values. The number of digest games will be selected. Therefore, if a specific condition (in this case, storing the level gauge from “6” to “8”) is satisfied, it is possible to realize a gameability that eliminates a difference in game functions depending on a set value.

  FIG. 12 shows a screen display example of the mission effect. As shown in FIG. 12A, at the start of the chance game, the mission content is displayed in the display area of the effect display device 10, for example, “Digest 50 games without arranging“ replay-replay-bell ”!”. By doing so, the mission effect is started. The number of digested games displayed here (50 games in this case) is the number of digested games determined using the aforementioned second transition condition lottery table. Then, after the mission effect starts, as shown in FIG. 12B, the number of remaining digested games is displayed in the display area of the effect display device 10, and every time one game is digested (every game progresses), What is necessary is just to display the countdown which reduces the number of games. The number of digested games is subtracted by “1” at a minimum every time one game is digested during the mission production.

  In the present embodiment, when the specific condition is established during the chance game, the second transition condition establishment probability improving process is executed so that the second transition condition is easily established (the establishment probability of the second transition condition is reduced). It is configured. Specifically, it is possible to increase the number of subtractions for the number of digested games when a specific combination of symbols is established during a chance game (when a winning combination is established for a specified role). It is said. In this way, by increasing the number of subtractions of the number of digest games that are subtracted by one each time one game is inherently digested, the second transition condition is easily established. In the present embodiment, the “specific small part” that can increase the number of subtractions of the number of digested games is set as a cherry small part or a watermelon small part. Note that the size of the subtraction number to be increased is determined by lottery using a subtraction number lottery table in which a plurality of subtraction numbers (5 to 99) are set.

  FIG. 13 shows a subtraction number lottery table for the number of digest games. As shown in FIG. 13, a plurality of subtraction number lottery tables are prepared according to the types of small roles. In each subtraction number lottery table, five types “5”, “10”, “20”, and “99” are set as the subtraction number of the digest game number, and the selection rate of each subtraction number is set. When “99” is selected, the value obtained by subtracting the number of subtractions from the number of remaining digested games is always zero or less. That is, “99” is set as the subtraction number for immediately establishing the second transition condition (achieving the mission). The denominator of the selection rate is set to “256”, and any subtraction number is selected by random number lottery.

  Specifically, when the winning of the cherry small role is established, the selection rate of the subtraction number “5” is 120/256, the selection rate of the subtraction number “10” is 96/256, and the subtraction number “20”. The selection rate is 32/256, and the selection rate of the subtraction number “99” is 8/256. Also, when the watermelon small combination is established, the selection rate of the subtraction number “5” is 184/256, the selection rate of the subtraction number “10” is 62/256, and the selection rate of the subtraction number “20” is 8 / The selection rate of 256 and the subtraction number “99” is 2/256. That is, as is apparent from the RT lottery table in FIG. 10, a player with a low probability of winning in the internal lottery process during RT game (in this case, a small cherry role) will be more advantageous to the player. In addition, the design is such that the subtraction number is larger for the cherry part than for the watermelon part.

  Note that the second transition condition setting process and the second transition condition establishment probability improvement process are executed under the control of the sub-control board 220, and the sub-control board 220 corresponds to the probability improvement means of the present invention.

  After the mission effect starts, the number of digested games becomes “0”, and when the mission is achieved, the chance game is shifted to the privilege game and a predetermined privilege is given to the player. As a privilege given to the player, when a specific small role is won internally during the bonus game, the player is operated by a predetermined number of games (100 games in this embodiment) with respect to the operation of the rotation stop buttons 38a to 38c. A navigation effect performed by the instruction is performed. In the present embodiment, as a navigation effect, a bell small role internal winning notification effect that is performed when a bell small role is internally won, and “replaying role A + C (replaying role A and replaying role C overlapping role)” or The re-game player internal winning notification effect that is performed when “win game player B + C (duplicate role of re-game player B and re-game player C)” is performed is performed.

  In the bell small role internal winning notification effect, when the bell small role is elected internally, the internal winning notification of the specific bell small role specifying the type of bell small role (Bell A, Bell B, or Bell C) is issued. Done. In other words, during an award game, when one of the small roles of Bell A, Bell B, and Bell C is won internally, a control command indicating internal winning is transmitted from the main control board 200 to the sub control board 220, When receiving the command, the control board 220 is configured to notify the specific bell small role using the various lamps 12 and the effect display device 10 or the like. In the notification of the specified bell small role, the type of the winning bell small role is specified, so that the player can relatively easily establish a prize for the small bell role aiming at the notified bell small role. Is possible. By this bell small role internal winning notification effect, during the bonus game, the player does not reduce the game medals so much, but rather efficiently establishes the prize for the bell small role and increases the game medals little by little. It is possible to continue the game aiming for winning a winning combination (BB or BB).

  In the re-gamer internal winning notification effect, when the re-gamer's duplicate role ("re-gamer A + C" or "re-gamer B + C") is won internally, the re-gamer C symbol that is the end of the RT game The notification of the operation order of the spinning cylinder stop buttons 38a to 38c is performed so that the combinations are not aligned. Specifically, if the internal winning is “re-gamer A + C (duplicate role of re-gamer A and re-gamer C)”, the symbol combination of re-gamer A is established by “forward press”. “Press forward” is displayed in the display area of the effect display device 10. In addition, in the case of “winning replaying game B + C (duplicating role of replaying game A and replaying game C)”, the symbol combination of replaying game B is established by “middle pressing” or “reverse pressing”. In the display area of the effect display device 10, “Middle press or reverse press” is displayed. With this re-playing role internal winning notification effect, aiming to win a bonus role (RB role or BB role) while preventing the symbol combination of re-playing role C from being established and shifting to the normal game during the bonus game It is possible to continue the game.

  Next, bonus games (BB game and RB game) will be described. In the BB game, an internal lottery is performed using a BB game lottery table (not shown), and in an RB game, an internal lottery is performed using an RB game lottery table (not shown). The RB game lottery table and the RB game lottery table are set with random ranges for the BB role and the RB role in order to avoid the internal winning of the BB role or RB game in comparison with other lottery tables. Not different. In addition, the winning probability of each small role is set to be very high as compared with other normal game lottery tables, and accordingly, the probability of “losing” is low. Therefore, in the BB game and the RB game, some small role can be won almost every game, and the player can acquire many medals in a short period of time.

  In addition, in the gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, an “internal winning state lottery table” is provided (not shown) that is used when a game is started in a state where the BB hand or RB hand is internally won in a normal game. ). In this internal winning state lottery table, a random number range for the BB combination and the RB combination is not set in order to avoid internal winning over the BB combination or the RB combination. In addition, random numbers for other game combinations (small roles, etc.) are set to be the same as those for normal games. Thus, in the gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, a dedicated lottery table is prepared in advance for each gaming state.

  In the gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, during the BB game, the game is continued until a predetermined number (for example, 465) of game medals set for each type of BB game player is paid out, and the payout number reaches the predetermined number. , Switch to normal game.

  The progress of the game is controlled by the main control board 200. Hereinafter, processing contents performed for the main control board 200 to control the progress of the game will be described.

  FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing a game control process performed by the CPU of the main control board 200 to control the progress of the game according to the program stored in the ROM. This game control process is executed after the gaming machine 1 is turned on and after initialization processing such as security check of the ROM mounted on the main control board 200 and the sub control board 220 and RAM clearing are performed. Process. As will be described later, the process of executing a game while switching a plurality of game states is realized by the CPU 200c mounted on the main control board 200 of this embodiment executing the game control process described below. Yes.

  As shown in FIG. 14, first, a game state setting process is performed (S100). In the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, a plurality of types of gaming states including the above-described big bonus game are set, and depending on the type of gaming state, it is easy to establish a gaming combination when the spinning cylinders 20a to 20c stop rotating. Switching the types of established game actors is performed. For this reason, in the game state setting process, a process for setting such a game state is performed. The gaming state setting process will be described in detail later.

  Next, medal insertion confirmation processing is performed (S101). In the medal insertion confirmation process, it is determined whether or not a game medal is inserted from the game medal insertion slot 30, or whether or not the one-sheet insertion button 32 or the three-sheet insertion button 34 is operated. As described above, a game medal inserted from the game medal slot 30 is detected by a medal sensor (not shown) provided in the medal selector 106 when passing through the medal selector 106, and the detection signal is detected by the main control board 200. To be supplied. Further, when the various input buttons 32 and 34 are operated, the operation signals are supplied to the main control board 200. The main control board 200 determines whether or not a game medal has been inserted based on these signals. And if a game medal is inserted, it will be in the state which can start a game. When the various insertion buttons 32 and 34 are operated, a process of subtracting the inserted number from the stored number of game medals is also performed at the same time. When it is confirmed that a game medal has been inserted, the game can be started at any time by operating the start lever 36.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the settlement button 40 has been operated (S102). That is, even after betting game medals, it is possible to settle including the bet game medals before the start lever 36 is operated and the spinning cylinders 20a to 20c are rotated. If it is determined that the settlement button has been operated as a result of the determination process in S102 (S102: YES), a settlement process for paying out game medals stored as credits and inserted game medals is performed (S103). The process returns to the state setting process S100. The payout of game medals is performed by outputting a control signal instructing the number of game medals to be paid out from the main control board 200 to the medal payout device 118.

  On the other hand, if it is determined as a result of the determination process in S102 that the settlement button has not been operated (S102: NO), it is determined whether or not the start lever 36 has been operated (S104). The start lever 36 incorporates a detection sensor, which will be described later, and when the start lever 36 is operated, its movement can be detected. The main control board 200 can determine whether or not the start lever 36 has been operated based on the output of the detection sensor. If it is determined that the start lever 36 has not been operated (S104: NO), the process returns to S102 and is in a standby state until the start lever 36 is operated.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the start lever 36 has been operated (S104: YES), an internal lottery process is performed (S105). In the internal lottery process, one random number for internal lottery is acquired at the timing when the start lever 36 is operated, and the game combination shown in FIG. 6 is internally lottered according to the acquired random number. In the internal lottery process, it is detected that the start lever 36 has been operated, an internal lottery random number is acquired, and a lottery table (see FIGS. 9 and 10) corresponding to the gaming state is used to select any game player. It is determined whether an internal winning is made or no game player is won internally. When any of the game combinations is won internally, “1” is set to the bit corresponding to the internal winning flag (see FIGS. 7A and 7B) of the selected game combination.

  Next, a rotation rotation starting process is performed (S106). In the rotation rotation starting process, it is determined whether or not a predetermined condition is satisfied. If the predetermined condition is satisfied, a process of rotating the three rotation cylinders 20a to 20c is performed. In the rotation rotation start process of the present embodiment, the rotation is performed when a predetermined time (for example, 4.1 seconds) has elapsed since the start lever 36 was operated and rotation of the rotation cylinders 20a to 20c was started last time. The rotation of the three drums 20a to 20c is rotated by outputting a drive signal to the drum motors 24a to 24c respectively provided in the drums 20a to 20c.

  Next, a rotation rotation stopping process for stopping rotation of the rotation cylinders 20a to 20c is performed (S107). In the rotation rotation stop process, after confirming that the rotation speeds of all the rotation cylinders 20a to 20c are stabilized at a predetermined speed, the operation of the rotation cylinder stop buttons 38a to 38c corresponding to the respective rotation cylinders 20a to 20c is validated. . The main control board 200 detects the rotational positions of the respective cylinders 20a to 20c when the respective rotation stop buttons 38a to 38c are operated based on the operation signals from the respective cylinder stop buttons 38a to 38c. Based on this, the stop position of each of the spinning cylinders 20a to 20c is determined, and control is performed to stop the spinning cylinders 20a to 20c at the determined position.

  When determining the stop position of each of the spinning cylinders 20a to 20c, the result of the internal lottery process S105 is referred to. Even if operated, the stop position of the spinning cylinder is determined so that the symbol combination that establishes the game combination is not stopped and displayed. On the other hand, when an internal winning is made for a certain game player, the stop position of each cylinder is determined so that the symbol combination that establishes the internal winning game player is stopped and displayed unless the timing is not too late. It is like that.

  Next, it is determined whether or not any game player has won a prize (S111). Here, “a winning of a game combination is established” means that the symbol combinations corresponding to the internal winning game combination are displayed together on an effective winning line. As described above, in the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, even if any of the game combinations is won internally in the internal lottery process S105, depending on the timing of pressing the rotation stop buttons 38a to 38c, the game combination is supported. The symbol combinations to be performed are not necessarily aligned on an effective winning line. Therefore, the main control board 200 determines whether or not a winning combination of the game winning combination in the internal lottery has been established after stopping the rotation of the spinning cylinder.

  If it is determined that no winning combination has been established for any game combination (S111: NO), the game ends, and the game control process is returned to the top of the game control process to execute the game state setting process S100. In the gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the bonus combination (BB combination or RB combination) is won in the internal lottery process S105 described above, the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus combination is not stopped and displayed on the effective winning line. Only when the winning combination of the bonus combination is not established, the internal winning of the bonus combination is carried over, and the game is performed with the internal winning flag of the “bonus combination” set after the next game. On the other hand, when other winning combinations (“small role” or “re-playing role”) are won internally, the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination cannot be stopped and displayed on the effective winning line. The internal winning will be reset without being carried over after the next game.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that a winning combination of any game combination is established (S111: YES), it is determined whether or not the winning combination is a re-game combination (S112). If the player has won a re-game player (S112: YES), the re-game flag is set to ON (S113). Here, the re-game flag is a flag for storing that the re-game player has won a prize. When the re-game flag is set to ON, the number of game medals inserted in the game won in the re-game player is automatically re-inserted in the next game medal insertion confirmation process S102.

  If it is determined in S111 that the winning game combination is not a re-playing game combination (S111: NO), it is determined whether the winning game combination is a BB combination (S114). As a result, when it is determined that the BB combination is won (S114: YES), the BB game flag is set to ON (S115).

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the BB combination has not been won (S115: NO), it is determined whether or not the winning game combination is the RB combination (S116). As a result, when it is determined that the RB combination is won (S116: YES), the RB game flag is set to ON (S117). On the other hand, if it is determined that the RB combination has not been won (S115: NO), it can be determined that one of the small combinations has been won, and therefore a process of paying out the number of game medals according to the winning game combination (S118). If the winning game role is a bell small role, pay out 15 game medals, if it is a watermelon small role, give 6 game medals, and if it is a cherry small role, get 2 game medals. Process to pay out. The game medal payout process is performed by determining the number of game medals to be paid out inside the main control board 200 and then outputting a control signal from the main control board 200 to the medal payout device 118.

  Next, it is determined whether or not a normal game is being played (S119). As a result, when it is determined that the game is in a normal game (S119: YES), it is determined whether or not the cherry small role is won (S120). As a result, when it is determined that the cherry small role is won (S120: YES), it can be determined that the transition condition (first transition condition) to the RT game (chance game) is established during the normal game. The RT game flag is set to ON (S121).

  By repeating the processing of S100 to S121 described above, when a game medal is inserted and the start lever 36 is operated, the rotation of the rotating cylinders 20a to 20c is started, and the rotating cylinder is stopped by pressing the rotating cylinder stop buttons 38a to 38c. Sometimes, a game in which a game medal is paid out can be repeatedly performed depending on whether or not a prize for a game player is established. In the gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, a plurality of gaming states are provided, and depending on which gaming state is selected, by switching the ease of winning a game player and the type of game player to win, Impression can be greatly different. The process for switching the game state is performed in a game state setting process S100 performed at the head of the game control process.

  Hereinafter, the gaming state setting process will be described. FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing the game state setting process. The main control board 200 performs a gaming state setting process shown in FIG. 15 and switches a plurality of gaming states by selecting a lottery table stored in the ROM.

  First, referring to the game state flag (see FIG. 7C), it is determined whether or not the BB game flag is set to ON (S200). As a result, when it is determined that the BB game flag is set to ON (S200: YES), the RT game flag is set to OFF (S201). The BB combination can be established in any game state of normal game or RT game, but even if established from any game state, the game returns to normal game after the end of BB game, so the RT game flag is turned OFF. Set it.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the BB game end condition is satisfied (S202). As described above, when a predetermined number (for example, 465) of game medals are paid out during the BB game, the BB game is set to end. Therefore, in S202, the game medals paid out during the BB game are set. It is determined whether or not the number of sheets has reached a predetermined number. As a result, when it is determined that the BB game end condition is not satisfied (S202: NO), a BB game lottery table (not shown) is selected (S203), and an effect command for BB game is issued. The data is transmitted to the sub control board 220 (S204). When the sub-control board 220 receives the effect command for the BB game from the main control board 200, the sub-control board 220 uses the various lamps 12, the various speakers 14, 114, the effect display device 10, the rotating backlight 20L, etc. An effect is made to impress that the state is BB game.

  If it is determined in the determination process of S202 that the BB game end condition is satisfied (S202: YES), the BB game flag is turned OFF (S205). Thereby, it will be in the state which shows that a game state is a normal game. Then, the process proceeds to S217.

  If it is determined in S200 that the BB game flag is set to OFF (S200: NO), it is determined whether or not the RB game flag is set to ON (S206). As a result, when it is determined that the RB game flag is set to ON (S206: YES), the RB game flag is set to OFF as in the case of the BB game (S207).

  Next, it is determined whether or not an RB game end condition is satisfied (S208). As described above, the RB game end condition is satisfied when 12 games are played or when a winning combination is achieved 8 times. Therefore, in any of the determination processes of S208, 12 games are ended. Or, it is only necessary to determine whether the winning of the small role is established eight times. As a result, when it is determined that the RB game end condition is not satisfied (S208: NO), an RB game lottery table (not shown) is selected (S209), and an effect command for BB game is issued. The data is transmitted to the sub control board 220 (S210). When the sub-control board 220 receives the effect command for the BB game from the main control board 200, the sub-control board 220 uses the various lamps 12, the various speakers 14, 114, the effect display device 10, the rotating backlight 20L, etc. An effect is made to impress that the state is RB game.

  If it is determined in S208 that the RB game end condition is satisfied (S208: YES), the RB game flag is turned OFF (S211). Thereby, it will be in the state which shows that a game state is a normal game. Then, the process proceeds to S217.

  If it is determined in the determination processing of S206 that the RB game flag is set to OFF (S206: NO), it is determined whether or not the RT game flag is set to ON (S212). As a result, when it is determined that the RT game flag is set to ON (S212: YES), it is determined whether an RT game end condition is satisfied (S213). As described above, the RT game end condition is set when the BB combination or the RB combination is won or when the re-game combination C is won. Among these, when the RT game is ended by winning the BB role or RB role, the above-mentioned S200 or S206 is affirmative, so in the determination process of S213, the re-game role C is won in the previous game. (It is desirable to provide a re-gamer C winning memory flag or the like for storing the fact only when the re-gamer C wins in the previous game).

  If it is determined in the determination process of S213 that the RT game end condition is not satisfied (S213: NO), the RT game lottery table (see FIG. 10) is selected (S214), and the RT game is used. Is sent to the sub-control board 220 (S215), and the gaming state setting process is terminated. Upon receiving the RT game effect command, the sub-control board 220 controls the various lamps 12, the various speakers 14, 114, the effect display device 10, the rotating backlight 20L, and the like according to the content of the command. An effect is made to impress that the current gaming state is RT gaming.

  When it is determined in the determination process of S213 that the RT game end condition (specific symbol combination is satisfied) is satisfied (S213: YES), the RT game flag is turned OFF to switch from the RT game to the normal game. (S216). Thereby, it will be in the state which shows that a game state is a normal game. Then, the process proceeds to S217.

  If it is determined in S212 that the RT game flag is OFF (S212: OFF), the BB game flag, the RB game flag, and the RT game flag are all set to OFF. Is a normal game. Therefore, the normal game lottery table (see FIG. 9) is selected (S217), a normal game effect command is transmitted to the sub-control board 220 (S218), and the game state setting process ends. When the sub control board 220 receives the effect command for the normal game, the sub control board 220 controls the various lamps 12, the various speakers 14 and 114, the effect display device 10, the revolving backlight 20 </ b> L, and the like according to the content of the command. Then, it produces an effect that gives an impression that the current gaming state is normal gaming.

  Next, the effect control process by the sub control board 220 will be described. FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing the effect control process performed by the CPU of the sub-control board 220 according to the program stored in the ROM.

  As shown in FIG. 16, in the effect control process, first, it is determined whether or not the first transition condition is satisfied, that is, whether or not the normal game is switched to the RT game (S300). Whether or not the RT game has started can be determined based on whether or not the sub control board 220 has received the RT game effect command transmitted by the main control board 200 in S215. As a result, when it is determined that the first transition condition is not satisfied (S300: NO), the standby state is maintained until the first transition condition is satisfied. On the other hand, if it is determined that the first transition condition is satisfied (S300: YES), the second transition condition lottery process S320, the mission effect execution process S340, and the navigation effect execution process S360 are performed.

  Next, the second transition condition lottery process S320 will be described based on the flowchart of FIG. First, the second transition condition lottery table (see FIG. 11) is determined based on the combination of the set value of the payout rate and the value of the level gauge at the end of the normal game (S321). Then, random lottery is executed using the determined second transition condition lottery table (S322), and the second transition condition determined by the lottery is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM of the sub-control board 220 (S323).

  Next, the mission effect execution process will be described based on the flowchart of FIG. First, the second transition condition (mission content) stored in S323 is displayed in the display area of the effect display device 10 (see S341, FIG. 12A).

  Next, it is determined whether or not one game is finished (S342). As a result, when it is determined that one game has not ended (S342: NO), the game enters a standby state until one game ends. On the other hand, if it is determined that one game has been completed (S342: YES), it is determined whether or not the symbol combination of the re-gamer C, which is the RT game end symbol, has been established (S343).

  As a result, when it is determined that the RT game end symbol has been established (S343: YES), an end display is made to notify the end of the mission effect in the display area of the effect display device 10 (S344). The execution process is terminated. On the other hand, when it is determined that the RT game end symbol is not established (S343: NO), it is determined whether or not a specific symbol (cherry or watermelon) is established (S345).

  As a result, when it is determined that the specific symbol (cherry or watermelon) is not established (S345: NO), “1” is subtracted from the number of digested games (S346). On the other hand, if it is determined that the specific symbol (cherry or watermelon) has been established (S345: YES), the number of subtractions is drawn using the subtraction number lottery table (see FIG. 13) according to the type of the specific symbol ( In S347, the number of subtractions determined by lottery is subtracted from the number of digested games (S348).

  Next, it is determined whether the number of digest games is greater than zero (S349). As a result, when it is determined that the number of digested games is greater than zero (S349: YES), the process returns to the determination process of S342, and the mission effect is continuously executed. On the other hand, if it is determined that the number of digested games is zero (S349: NO), it can be determined that the mission has been achieved (the second transition condition has been established), so a display prompting that the mission has been achieved is displayed. By doing this, the player is notified of the mission achievement (S350), and thereafter, the number of navigation effect games is set to “100” as a privilege resulting from the mission achievement (S351), and the mission effect execution process is terminated. Note that when the number of navigation effect games is set in S351, the mission accomplished flag that stores that the mission effect has been achieved (cleared) is set to ON.

  Next, the navigation effect execution process will be described based on the flowchart of FIG. First, it is determined whether or not the mission effect has been cleared (S361). Whether or not the mission effect has been cleared can be determined based on whether or not the mission completion flag has been turned ON in S351. As a result, if it is determined that the mission effect has not been cleared, that is, if the mission accomplished flag is OFF (S361: NO), the navigation effect execution process ends. On the other hand, if it is determined that the mission effect has been cleared, that is, if the mission completion flag is ON (S361: YES), the mission completion flag is turned OFF and the start of the bonus game is given to the player. A notification display (privilege game start display) is performed (S362).

  Next, it is determined whether or not an internal winning combination for a single bell small role is made (S363). A single bell combination is one in which three types of bell combinations do not win repeatedly and one of them wins alone. Whether or not a single bell small combination has been internally won can be determined based on whether or not a control command transmitted from the main control board 200 indicating an internal winning of a single bell small combination has been received.

  As a result, when it is determined that the internal winning of the single bell small role is determined (S363: YES), a bell small role internal winning notification effect is provided for notifying the player of the type of the bell winning role internally won (S364). ), The process proceeds to the determination process of S367. In the bell small role internal winning notification effect, the effect display device 10 or the like is used to notify the player of the fact that any of the three bell small roles has been internally won by the color of the bell small role or the like. By the internal winning notification of the specific bell small role, the player can establish a prize for the bell small role relatively easily aiming at the notified type of bell small role. Thus, the player can continue the game aiming for the winning of the bonus combination while increasing the number of game medals little by little by efficiently establishing the winning of the small bell role.

  If it is determined that a single bell small role has not been won internally (S363: NO), whether or not a re-playing role overlapping role ("re-playing role A + C" or "re-playing role B + C") has been won internally It is determined whether or not (S365). As a result, when it is determined that the internal combination is not won for the re-combining role combination (S365: NO), the process proceeds to the determination process of S367 and it is determined that the re-playing role combination is internally won. In this case (S365: NO), a re-game player internal winning notification effect for notifying the operation order of the spinning cylinder stop buttons 38a to 38c is performed (S366).

  As described above, in the case where “Re-Gamer A + C” is internally won and “Re-Gamer B + C” is internally won, the game combination for re-Gamer C that is the end symbol of the RT game is not established. Since the operation order of the torso stop buttons 38a to 38c is different, the player cannot recognize the appropriate operation order of the torso stop buttons 38a to 38c when the winning combination of the re-game player is won internally. In contrast, by notifying the operation sequence of the spinning cylinder stop buttons 38a to 38c, it becomes easy to avoid the establishment of the symbol combination of the re-gamer C, and the RT game with a high internal winning probability of the re-gamer is continued. Can be made.

  Next, it is determined whether or not a series of games (game medal insertion, start lever 36 operation, spinning cylinder stop buttons 38a to 38c operation, game medal payout series) has ended (S367). As a result, when it is determined that the series of games has not ended (S367: NO), the process waits until the series of games ends, and when it is determined that the series of games has ended (S367: YES). ), 1 is subtracted from the number of navigation effect games (S368).

  Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the number of navigation effect games after subtraction is zero (S369). As a result, when the number of navigation effect games is zero (S369: YES), a bonus game end display is performed (S370), and the navigation effect execution processing is ended. On the other hand, if the number of navigation effect games is not zero (S369: NO), the process returns to S363 to continue the bonus game for the next game. After the bonus game ends, the RT game continues for a while, but no navigation effect is generated. Therefore, it is difficult to avoid the establishment of the symbol combination of the re-gamer C. It will return to.

  As described above, in the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when the second transition condition is established in the chance game, a specific condition different from the second transition condition is established during the chance game in the configuration in which the transition to the privilege game is established. In this case, by making the second transition condition easy to be established, it becomes difficult for the player to predict the transition probability from the chance game to the privilege game (the probability of establishment of the second transition condition). As a result, the player is greatly interested in establishing the specific condition during the chance game, and the interest during the chance game can be improved.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the specific condition is established during the chance game, the probability of transition from the chance game to the privilege game (the probability of establishment of the second transition condition) changes so that the chance game progresses. Depending on the situation, it is possible to effectively improve the gaming interest.

  In the present embodiment, the second transition condition establishment probability improvement condition for facilitating the establishment of the second transition condition is that a combination of specific symbols (cherry or watermelon) is established. It is possible to give an impression that the second transition condition satisfaction probability improvement condition is satisfied by operating the trunk stop buttons 38a to 38c, and the game entertainment can be improved.

  Further, in this embodiment, the second transition condition is to digest a predetermined number of games. Therefore, even for a player who does not understand the contents of the game well, the second transition condition is easy to understand. Since it is possible to clearly grasp that the probability of transition from the chance game to the privilege game has been improved by promoting the digestion of the game (progress of the game), it is possible to effectively improve the game interest during the chance game.

(Second embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the second embodiment, only the parts different from the first embodiment will be described.

  In the first embodiment, a predetermined number of games are digested as the second transition condition for shifting from the chance game to the bonus game. However, in the second transition condition of the second embodiment, a predetermined number is further used. A time limit has been added to digest the game. That is, the second transition condition (the mission content of the mission effect) is to digest a predetermined number of games within the time limit. Since the minimum time for one game is set to 4.1 seconds in the game rules, the time limit is set to be longer than the time obtained by multiplying the number of digest games by 4.1 seconds.

  FIG. 20 shows a screen display example of the mission effect in the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 20 (a), at the start of the chance game, the display area of the effect display device 10 is, for example, “Digest 50 games without arranging“ replay-replay-bell ”within 250 seconds!”. The mission effect is started by displaying the mission contents. After the mission effect starts, as shown in FIG. 20 (b), the remaining time and the number of remaining digested games are displayed in the display area of the effect display device 10, and every time one game is digested (every game progresses). ), And a countdown display for reducing the number of digested games. The number of digested games is decremented by 1 each time one game is digested during mission production.

  The determination of the time limit in the second transition condition can be performed by lottery. The time limit is selected by preparing a plurality of time limit lottery tables (not shown) according to the set value of the payout rate, the value of the level gauge, and the number of digested games determined in the same manner as in the first embodiment. What is necessary is just to determine by performing random number lottery using a time limit lottery table.

  FIG. 21 is a flowchart showing the mission effect execution process of the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 21, in the second embodiment, after the second transition condition (mission contents) is displayed in the display area of the effect display device 10 in the process of S341 (see FIG. 20A), the time limit is set. Is started (S351).

  Also, if it is determined in the determination process of S343 that the RT game end symbol is not established (S343: NO), is the value obtained by dividing the remaining time limit by the number of remaining digested games less than 4.1 seconds? It is determined whether or not (S352). Note that the determination processing of S352 executed by the sub-control board 220 corresponds to the game execution possibility determination means of the present invention. When it is determined that the value obtained by dividing the remaining time limit by the number of remaining digested games is less than 4.1 seconds as a result of the determination processing in S352 (S352: YES), the time that can be used to digest one game Is less than the minimum time of 4.1 seconds per game determined by the game rules, the reverse flag is set to ON (S353).

  If it is determined in S345 that the specific symbol (cherry or watermelon) has been established (S345: YES), the number of subtractions is drawn based on the type of the specific symbol and the state of the reverse flag (S354). . If the reverse rotation flag is OFF, a random number lottery may be selected for the subtraction number by the same process as in S347 of the first embodiment. On the other hand, when the reverse rotation flag is ON, it is sufficient that the remaining number of digested games can be digested with the remaining time limit in the process of S354. Specifically, the remaining time limit is set to the minimum time of one game. The number of games that can be digested by the remaining time limit is calculated by dividing by 1 second, and the subtraction number may be selected so that the number of remaining digested games is equal to or less than the number of games that can be digested by the remaining time limit. For example, if the remaining time limit is 100 seconds and the number of remaining digested games is 30, the number of games that can be digested with the remaining time limit is 24 games. Therefore, the subtraction number may be set to “10” so that the remaining digest game number “30” is equal to or less than the number of games “24” that can be digested in the remaining time limit.

  According to the configuration of the second embodiment described above, since the time limit is set in the second transition condition, the progress speed of the game can be increased and the operating rate of the gaming machine can be improved. In addition, when the establishment of a specific symbol (cherry or watermelon) is used as a condition for relaxing the achievement rate of the second transition condition, the player performs a game to stop and display the specific symbol, It is possible that the progress of For this reason, when the establishment of a specific symbol is a condition for relaxing the achievement rate of the second transition condition, it is particularly effective to set a time limit for the second transition condition, and the operation of the gaming machine The rate can be improved.

  In addition, even when it is determined in the determination process of S352 that the second transition condition cannot be achieved within the time limit, a combination of specific symbols (cherry or watermelon) that is the second transition condition establishment probability improvement condition has been established. In such a case, since it is configured so that the number of remaining digested games can be digested with the remaining time limit in the process of S354, the player becomes more interested in establishing the second transition condition establishment probability improvement condition. , You can improve the interest during the chance game.
