Description

  The present invention relates to a slot machine that changes the stop mode of symbols during 2BB games.

  In a conventional slot machine, a special combination for shifting to a special game (a game with a payout rate exceeding 1) is known as one of the winning combinations. Furthermore, special roles include 1BB (first type big bonus), 2BB (second type big bonus, MB (middle bonus) or CTBB), RB (regular bonus), and SB (single bonus). Are known.

For example, when 2BB is won in a normal game and the symbol combination corresponding to 2BB stops on the active line, a 2BB game advantageous to the player is executed from the next game.
Further, the conventionally known 2BB game is executed until the medal payout number reaches a predetermined number (for example, 253).

  Further, during the 2BB game, first, a game in which the range of stop control of at least one reel (for example, the left reel) is set to be smaller than that of the normal game (this game is also referred to as a CB game) is executed. . For example, in a normal game, the maximum number of symbols that can be moved from the moment the stop switch is operated until the reel stops is 4 symbols (5 symbols including the symbol at the moment when the stop switch is operated), whereas 2BB games For example, the maximum moving symbol number of the left reel is set to one symbol (two symbols including the symbol at the moment when the stop switch is operated).

  Secondly, during the 2BB game, the small role lottery is not performed. However, it is set to the same state as winning every game and all small roles. That is, the player can win a small role by operating (stopping) the stop switch with the aim of stopping the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role on the active line (for example, Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2).

  However, in the above-described conventional technique, during the 2BB game, the stop position determination table (with the reel stop position determined) in a state where the winning flags of all the small roles are turned on is used. It was easy to become the same. In particular, an advanced player of a slot machine operates a stop switch at every game and at the same timing (for example, at a moment when a specific symbol of each reel passes a specific position). Thereby, the stop position of each reel will be the same position every time. For this reason, during the 2BB game, there is a problem that the game tends to be monotonous although the small role is won and the medal is paid out.

  Therefore, the problem to be solved by the present invention is to prevent the stop appearance during the 2BB game from becoming monotonous by changing the stop appearance during the 2BB game.

The present invention solves the above problems by the following means. An example of a corresponding embodiment is shown in parentheses.
According to the first aspect of the present invention, a plurality of reels (31) displaying a plurality of types of symbols, a combination lottery means (61) for performing a combination lottery, and a rotation start command for the reels (when the start switch 41 is set) Position of the reel corresponding to the stop lottery means when the stop switch (42) is operated by the player. The reel control means (64) for stop control at, the first game (non-RT game) as the gaming state, and the second game (RT1 game, RT2 game) in which the winning probability of replay is set higher than this first game , RT3 game) and a game state control means (69) for controlling the transition between the first game and the second game, and the role lottery means is a special game in the second game. A lottery including a combination (2BB) is performed, and the game state control means wins the specific combination by the combination lottery means in the second game, and the combination of symbols corresponding to the specific combination is stopped on the active line. The game is shifted to a specific game (2BB game) and controlled so that the specific game is executed until the number of payouts of game media in the specific game reaches a predetermined number. When the game shifts from the game to the specific game, a lottery of the role is performed while maintaining the winning probability of the replay in the second game, and the reel control means has at least one reel (left reel) in the specific game. 31) so that the maximum number of moving symbols from when the stop switch is operated to when the reel stops is smaller than in the first game (maximum The reel control means controls the reel to stop within the range of the reel stop control when the replay is not won in the specific game in the second game. The reel is controlled to stop the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination (small winning combination 1 or small winning combination 2) on the effective line, and when the replay is won, the small winning combination is within the range of the stop control of the reel. The reels are controlled so as to give priority to stopping the combination of symbols corresponding to the active line, and each stop switch is operated when the replay is not won and when one of the replays is won. When the positions of the reels at the same moment are the same position, the symbol stop mode that appears in the display window when the symbol combination corresponding to the small role is stopped on the active line is different (small role) The reels are controlled to stop so that the number of effective lines at which the symbol combination corresponding to 2 stops is different).

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the slot machine according to the first aspect, the small combination has a combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination when the specific symbol of any one of the reels stops on the active line. In the second game, the winning lottery means draws a winning combination including at least two types of replay 1 and replay 2, and the reel control means In the specific game in the second game, when the replay is not won, when the replay 1 is won (in the first embodiment, when the replay 1 is alone), and when the replay 2 is won (first) In the embodiment, when the reel position at the moment when the stop switch is operated is the same position during replay 1 and replay 2), the reel related to the specific symbol is The stop position are the same, characterized in that the stop position of the other of said reel is controlled stopping the reels differently.

According to a third aspect of the present invention (second embodiment), in the slot machine according to the first or second aspect, the combination lottery means is configured to independently win the replay 1 in the specific game in the second game. And the replay 2 single winning, and the reel control means, at the time of the replay non-winning, the replay 1 single winning, and the replay 2 single winning respectively When the positions of the reels at the moment when each of the stop switches is operated are the same position, the symbol stop mode that appears in the display window when the symbol combination corresponding to the small combination stops at the effective line is different. The reel machine is controlled to stop as described above.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention (first embodiment), in the slot machine according to the first or second aspect, the combination lottery means is configured to independently win the replay 1 in the specific game in the second game. And the replay 1 and the replay 2 overlapped winning combination, the reel control means, the replay non-winning, the replay 1 single winning, and the replay 1 and the replay When the reels at the moment when each of the stop switches is operated at the same time when the replay 2 is repeatedly won, the display window when the symbol combination corresponding to the small role is stopped on the active line is displayed. The reels are controlled to stop so that the appearance of the symbols that appear is different.

  According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in the slot machine according to any one of the first to fourth aspects, the combination lottery means includes at least a part of the small combination (small combination 1) during the specific game. And the small combination 2) are controlled so that a winning flag is turned on, and the small combination in which the winning flag is turned on during the specific game is a game medium when the combination of symbols stops on the active line The number of payouts (4 or 12) is set to be equal to or greater than the number of game media inserted (3), and in the specific game, within the range of the reel stop control by the reel control means, The symbols relating to the small combination are arranged on the reel so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination for which the winning flag is turned on can always be stopped on the effective line. .

(Function)
In the present invention, in the second game, a specific combination lottery is performed, and when the specific combination is won, the specific game is executed. In this specific game, the winning probability of replay in the second game at the time of winning the specific combination is maintained. In a specific game, a small role winning is given priority even when a replay is won. And, in the specific game, when the position of the reel at the moment when each stop switch is operated at the time of replay non-winning and at the time of replay winning, the small role 2 wins both, The stop mode of the symbols appearing in the display window is different. Therefore, it is possible to diversify the stop mode in the specific game.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to diversify the stop appearances during a specific game, so that the specific game can be prevented from becoming monotonous.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the slot machine 10 of the following embodiment, medals are used as game media. However, the present invention is not limited to medals and may be game balls or the like.
<First Embodiment>
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an outline of control of the slot machine 10 according to the first 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 70 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 (left, middle, right) stop switch 42 are electrically connected to the input side (left side in FIG. 1) of the game control means 60. Yes.
The bet switch 40 is a switch operated when the player inserts a stored medal for the game. In particular, the bet switch 40 of the present embodiment is dedicated to the insertion of three cards. That is, in any case, a game is played by inserting three medals.
The medal insertion slot 43 is a part where the player inserts an actual medal. Inserting a medal from the medal insertion slot 43 plays 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, the (left, middle, right) stop switch 42 is a switch operated by the player when the corresponding reel 31 is stopped.

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 first 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, the display windows 11 of the slot machine 10 are arranged so that a total of 3 × 3 = 9 symbols can be seen.
In this specification, in FIG. 3, for example, the position where the symbol “RP” of the left reel 31 is stopped is “upper”, and the position where the symbol “red 7” is stopped is “middle”, “ The position where the symbol “BAR” stops is referred to as “lower”.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3, symbol combination lines L <b> 1 to L <b> 5 are provided in a portion including the display window 11 of the slot machine 10.
Here, the “symbol combination line” is a line of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped, and is a line that forms a combination of symbols. In the present embodiment, a total of five symbol combination lines L1 to L3 in the upper, middle, and lower stages in the horizontal direction, and two symbol combination lines L4 and L5 in the diagonally right-down direction and diagonally right-up direction. Has a symbol combination line.

In addition, the symbol combination line has an effective line and an invalid line.
Here, the “effective line” is a line for winning a winning combination when a combination of symbols corresponding to any of the winning combinations is stopped on that line.
On the other hand, an “invalid line” is a line that is not set as an effective line among symbol combination lines, and even if a combination of symbols corresponding to any combination stops on that line, This is a line that does not give profits (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.

The effective line and the invalid line are set according to the number of inserted medals. In the present embodiment, as described above, three medals are displayed in any game (during normal game and special game). It is set to play and play games. In all games, all five symbol combination lines L1 to L5 are set as valid lines, and no invalid lines are set.
The number of medals inserted is not limited to this, and may be one or two. Furthermore, only a part of the five symbol combination lines L1 to L5 may be set as valid lines (the rest are invalid lines) according to the number of medals inserted, the game state, and the like.

Further, in FIG. 1, production output devices such as the lamp 21, the speaker 22, and the image display device 23 are electrically connected to the output side of the production control means 70.
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 includes a liquid crystal display, a dot display, and the like, and displays various effect images and the like during the game.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a combination of symbols corresponding to the type of combination (the combination drawn by the combination lottery means 61 described later), the number of payouts, and the like in the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 4, the roles are roughly classified into a special role, a small role, and a replay.
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 symbol combination corresponding to any of the combinations stops on the active line (the winning combination wins), the number of medals corresponding to the combination is paid out. However, the number of payouts at the time of winning the special combination and small combination 3 is set to zero. In addition, when a replay is won, medals are automatically inserted.

In the combination, first, the special combination is a combination that shifts from the normal game to the special game. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, 1BB (first type big bonus) and 2BB (second type big bonus, also referred to as MB (middle bonus) or CTBB) are provided as special roles.
When 1BB or 2BB wins, medals are not paid out in the game, but the next game shifts to a 1BB game or a 2BB game, which is a special game, respectively. The 1BB game and the 2BB game are games advantageous to the player who can expect to win medals more than the normal game because the payout rate is set to exceed 1.

  Other special combinations include RB (regular bonus) and SB (single bonus), which are not provided in this embodiment.

The small combination is a combination in which a predetermined number of medals are paid out. In this embodiment, three types of small combination 1, small combination 2 and small combination 3 are provided.
Here, “any” in the small combination 1 and the small combination 2 means an arbitrary symbol. That is, when the symbol “cherry” stops on the effective line of the left reel 31, regardless of the stop symbol of the middle reel 31 and the right reel 31, the small combination 1 is won.
Similarly, when the “bell” symbol stops on the active line of the middle reel 31, the winning combination 2 is won regardless of the stop symbol of the left reel 31 and the right reel 31.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a stop mode at the time of winning the small combination 1 and the small combination 2. First, as shown in FIG. 5A, when the “cherry” symbol on the left reel 31 stops in the middle, the symbol combination corresponding to the small role 1 has stopped on one effective line L2. 2 medals x 1 line = 2 medals are paid out. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5B, when the symbol of “cherry” on the left reel 31 stops at the upper stage, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 1 becomes two effective lines L1 and L4. It means that it has stopped, and 2 medals x 2 lines = 4 medals are paid out. Similarly, when the “cherry” symbol on the left reel 31 stops at the lower stage, four payouts are made.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5C, when the symbol “bell” of the middle reel 31 is stopped at the upper stage, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small part 2 is stopped on one effective line L1. 4 medals x 1 line = 4 medals. The same applies when the “bell” symbol of the middle reel 31 stops at the lower stage. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5D, when the symbol of the “bell” of the middle reel 31 stops in the middle stage, the symbol combination corresponding to the small part 2 has three effective lines L2, L4, And L5, and 4 medals x 3 lines = 12 medals are paid out.
Note that for the small role 3, the payout of medals is set to 0 when winning a prize. Although details will be described later, the small combination 3 is set as a combination (game state transition combination) in which the game state shifts when winning.

  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, three types of replay 1 to replay 3 are provided. Although details will be described later, the replay 2 or the replay 3 is set to a combination (game state transition combination) in which the game state shifts when winning in the RT1 game (described later), like the small combination 3 described above.

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. .
Among the special roles, 1BB can be cited as a role to be carried over. When 1BB is won, in the game until the combination of symbols corresponding to 1BB stops on the active line when the reel 31 is stopped, control is performed to carry over the winning of 1BB after the next game.

  In this way, the winning of 1BB is carried over, while the winning combinations other than 1BB are not carried over. In the lottery of a combination, when a combination other than 1BB is won, the winning combination is effective 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 so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination can be stopped (winning) on the active line, regardless of whether the winning combination is won or not. At the end of the game, the right to the winning combination will cease.

  Note that a game in which 1BB is not won (a game in which 1BB is not carried over) is referred to as “non-internal”. In addition, in the game before the game, 1BB was won, but the combination of symbols corresponding to the won 1BB is not stopped on the active line (not winning). (1BB winning is carried over) “In game” is called “inside”.

  Here, when 2BB is provided as a special role, when 2BB is won, it is usually controlled to carry over 2BB until 2BB wins. However, in the present embodiment, as described later, when 2BB is won, control is performed so that 2BB always wins in the game at the time of winning. For this reason, in this embodiment, 2BB winning is not carried over. However, not limited to this, it is a matter of course that the winning of 2BB may be carried over.

  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 2BB winning area, it is determined to be 2BB winning, and when it belongs to the non-winning area, it is determined not to win.

  The combination lottery table 62 defines the types of combinations to be selected and the winning probability of each combination. 6-8 is a figure which shows the part lottery table 62 (62A-62F) in 1st 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

  The “game state” of the first embodiment is roughly divided into a normal game and a special game. Further, the normal game includes a non-RT game, an RT1 game, an RT2 game, an RT3 game (all of which are non-internal games), and an internal game. The special game includes a 1BB game and a 2BB game. The characteristics of these gaming states and the transition between gaming states will be described later.

  The combination lottery table 62A in FIG. 6 is a combination lottery table 62 used in non-RT games. The combinations that are drawn in the combination lottery table 62A are 1BB and 2BB, which are special combinations, a small combination 1 to a small combination 3, and a replay 1.

  The combination lottery table 62B is a combination lottery table 62 used in the RT1 game, and is different from the combination lottery table 62A in that the small combination 3 is not selected. Furthermore, the winning probability of Replay 1 is set as high as 1 / 1.2. Furthermore, “Replay 2 + Replay 3” is drawn. Here, “+” means simultaneous duplicate winning in the game. Therefore, “Replay 2 + Replay 3” means that Replay 2 and Replay 3 are simultaneously won in the game.

  In the combination lottery table 62B, the winning probability of the entire “Replay 2 + Replay 3” is set to 1/40, and the winning probability is divided into three equal parts, (Replay 2 + Replay 3) A to (Replay 2 + Replay 3). Assigned to C. Although details will be described in the stop position determination table 65, when “Replay 2 + Replay 3” A to C is won, the replay to which the first operated stop switch 42 is won depending on whether it is left, middle or right. Are set differently.

  The combination lottery table 62C shown in FIG. 7 is the combination lottery table 62 used in the RT2 game and the RT3 game. Compared with the role lottery table 62A, the winning probabilities for the special role and the small role are the same, but the winning probabilities for replay are different. In the combination lottery table 62C, unlike the combination lottery tables 62A and 62B, the replay 1 is not drawn, and “replay 1 + replay 2” (simultaneous duplicate winning of the replay 1 and the replay 2) is drawn. Further, the winning probability is set to a high probability of 1 / 1.2 (the same winning probability as the replay 1 in the role lottery table 62B). In addition, “Replay 2 + Replay 3” is not drawn.

  Further, the role lottery table 62D is a role lottery table 62 used in the internal game. When 1BB is won and 1BB is not won in the game, the next game is changed to an internal game, and a combination of lotteries is performed using the combination lottery table 62D. In the game in the inside, since the winning of 1BB which is a special combination is carried over, unlike the combination lottery tables 62A to 62C, 1BB and 2BB which are special combinations are not drawn. Also, the small role 3 is not drawn. The other points are the same as the combination lottery table 62A.

  The combination lottery table 62E shown in FIG. 8 is a combination lottery table 62 used in 1BB games. In the combination lottery table 62E of the present embodiment, only the small combination 1 and the small combination 2 are selected, and the small combination 2 is set to win with a high probability (1 / 1.05). In other words, in 1BB game, almost every game, small role 2 is won.

  The role lottery table 62F is a role lottery table 62 used in the 2BB game. In the combination lottery table 62F, the special combination and the small combination are not drawn. However, as will be described later, the winning flag for each game and small role is turned on, and the game state is such that the small role can win a prize. Further, for replay, the winning probability of replay in the gaming state where 2BB is won is maintained. That is, when 2BB is won in non-RT game and the game is shifted to 2BB game, the winning probability of Replay 1 is set to 1 / 7.3, and other replays are not drawn.

Also, when the player wins 2BB in the RT1 game and shifts to the 2BB game, the winning probability of the replay 1 is set to 1 / 1.2 as in the RT1 game, and other replays are not drawn. Furthermore, when 2BB is won in RT2 game or RT3 game and the game moves to 2BB game, the winning probability of Replay 1 + Replay 2 is set to 1 / 1.2, as with RT2 game and RT3 game. There will be no lottery for replays.
Using any of the above-described combination lottery tables 62A to 62F, the combination lottery means 61 performs a combination lottery when the game and start switch 41 are operated.

Returning to FIG.
The winning flag control means 63 controls the on / off of the winning flag 63a corresponding to each combination based on the lottery result and game state of the combination by the combination lottery means 61. In the present embodiment, each winning flag 63a of 1BB, 2BB, small combination 1 to small combination 3, and replay 1 to replay 3 is 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 by itself, the winning flag 63a related to the replay 1 is turned on, and the winning flags 63a of other roles remain off. For example, when replay 2 + replay 3 (any one of A to C) is won, the two winning flags 63a for replay 2 and replay 3 are turned on, and the winning flags 63a for other combinations remain off. It is.

Furthermore, as described above, since the winning of 2BB, small role and replay is not carried over, 2BB, small role or replay is won in the game, and the winning flag 63a of these roles is turned on in the game. Also, at the end of the game, the winning flag 63a is turned off.
On the other hand, since the winning of 1BB is carried over, when winning 1BB in the game and the winning flag 63a related to the winning 1BB is turned on, the ON state is maintained until the 1BB wins, Turned off when 1BB wins.

  For example, when 1BB is won in the game, the 1BB winning flag 63a is turned on, and when 1BB is not won in the game, the winning flag 63a related to 1BB is kept on. In the next game (inside game), when winning the small combination 2, the winning flag 63a of the small combination 2 is turned on in addition to the winning flag 63a related to 1BB which is already on. When 1BB is not won at the end of the game, the winning flag 63a for 1BB is kept on, and the winning flag 63a for the small combination 2 is turned off.

  In addition, during the 2BB game, a replay-only lottery (replay 1 lottery or replay 1 + replay 2 lottery depending on the game state at the time of 2BB win) is performed, but when these replays are won, The winning flag 63a related to the replay is turned on. Further, during the 2BB game, the winning flags 63a relating to the small combination 1 and the small combination 2 are forcibly turned on. That is, during the 2BB game, the lottery of the small combination is not performed, but the winning flag 63a related to the small combination 1 and the small combination 2 is turned on.

  When the reel control means 64 receives a rotation start command for the reel 31, especially in this embodiment, when the start switch 41 is operated (when a signal indicating that the start switch 41 is operated) is received ( The three reels 31 are controlled to start rotating. 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 this embodiment, the number of moving symbols from the symbol at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated is within four symbols (including the symbol at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated), except for the left reel 31 in 2BB game described later. In other words, the time from when the stop switch 42 is operated until the reel 31 stops is set within 190 ms.

  On the other hand, “within the range of stop control of the reel 31” in the left reel 31 in the 2BB game means that the number of moving symbols from the symbol at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated is within one symbol (the stop switch 42 is operated). In other words, the time from when the stop switch 42 is operated to when the reel 31 stops is set within 75 ms.

  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 combination to be stopped on the active line in a game in which a plurality of winning flags 63a are 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.

  Further, the reel control means 64 includes a push order detection means 64a. The push order detecting means 64a detects which one of the left, middle and right stop switches 42 is operated when the stop switch 42 is operated by the player. The pushing order detecting means 64a may detect the pushing order of the stop switch 42 every game, but in this embodiment, in particular, when the replay 2 + replay 3 is won, the stop switch 42 operated first is Whether it is left, middle or right is detected.

  When the stop switch 42 is operated, a signal indicating that the stop switch 42 has been operated is input to the push order detecting means 64a. By discriminating this signal, the push order detecting means 64a detects which stop switch 42 is operated first.

  The stop position determination table 65 is provided for each on / off state of the winning flag 63a, that is, for each lottery result and game state by the combination lottery means 61, and at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated. The stop position of the reel 31 with respect to the position of the reel 31 is determined. In each stop position determination table 65, for example, when the stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when the symbol 0 (“RP” for the left reel 31) passes through the upper stage (middle stage or lower stage is acceptable). The stop position is determined such that the number of symbols is controlled to move, and the number of symbols is stopped in the upper stage.

The stop position determination table 65 includes the following tables.
The 1BB table is used when the 1BB (only) winning flag 63a is on (when 1BB is won in a non-inside game or when a combination is not won in a game inside 1BB), and the reel 31 If the combination of symbols corresponding to 1BB is stopped on the effective line and the combination of symbols corresponding to 1BB cannot be stopped on the effective line within the range of the stop control, the symbol corresponding to any role The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the combination is not stopped on the effective line.

The 2BB table is used when the winning flag 63a of the 2BB is ON, and within the range of the stop control of the reel 31, the symbol combination corresponding to 2BB is stopped on the effective line, and the symbol combination corresponding to 2BB is used. When the symbol cannot be stopped on the effective line, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the combination of symbols corresponding to any combination is not stopped on the effective line.
The small combination 3 table is the same as the 2BB table, and corresponds to the “2BB” replaced with “small combination 3” in the 2BB table.

The small role 1 table is used when the winning flag 63a of the small role 1 is on (except during 2BB game), and the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 1 is valid within the range of the stop control of the reel 31. The lines L1 and L4 (that is, the symbol “cherry” of the left reel 31 is stopped) are stopped, or the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 1 is changed to the effective lines L3 and L5 (that is, “cherry” of the left reel 31). If the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 1 cannot be stopped on these effective lines, the combination of symbols corresponding to any combination should not be stopped on the effective line. The stop position of the reel 31 is determined.
Thus, when the small combination 1 table is used and the small combination 1 wins, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination 1 is stopped on the two active lines, so the medal payout number is 4 pieces. Become.

  The small role 2 table X is displayed when the winning flag 63a of the small role 2 is ON during the non-RT game, the RT1 game, the RT2 game, the RT3 game, and the internal medium game and the winning flag 63a of the small role 2 is on (2BB). In the range of the stop control of the reel 31, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 2 is set to the effective line L1 or L3 (that is, the “bell” symbol of the middle reel 31 is set to the upper stage or the lower stage). When the symbol combination corresponding to the small combination 2 cannot be stopped on the effective line L1 or L3, the reel 31 is set so that the combination of symbols corresponding to any combination is not stopped on the effective line. The stop position is determined. Thus, when the small combination 2 table X is used and the small combination 2 wins, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination 2 is stopped only on the active line L1 or L3 (one line). The number of payouts is 4.

  On the other hand, the small role 2 table Y is used when winning the small role 2 in the 1BB game and the winning flag 63a of the small role 2 is on (except during the 2BB game), and the reel 31 stop control is performed. In this range, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 2 is stopped at the effective lines L2, L4 and L5 (that is, the “bell” symbol of the middle reel 31 is in the middle stage) and the symbol corresponding to the small role 2 When the combination cannot be stopped on the effective lines L2, L4, and L5, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the combination of symbols corresponding to any combination is not stopped on the effective line. Thus, when the small combination 2 table Y is used and the small combination 2 wins, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination 2 on the three active lines L2, L4 and L5 is stopped. The number of payouts is 12.

  Further, the replay 1 table is used when only the replay 1 winning flag 63a is on (except when the replay 1 is alone and excluding the 2BB game), and within the range of the reel 31 stop control, When the combination of symbols corresponding to Replay 1 is stopped on the active line, and the combination of symbols corresponding to Replay 1 cannot be stopped on the active line, the combination of symbols corresponding to any combination is stopped on the active line. The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that it does not occur.

  Furthermore, the replay 1 / replay 2 table is used when the winning flag 63a of the replay 1 and the replay 2 is on (except when the replay 1 and the replay 2 are overlapped, except during the 2BB game). In the stop control range of 31, when priority is given to stopping the symbol combination corresponding to Replay 2 on the effective line, and when the symbol combination corresponding to Replay 2 cannot be stopped on the effective line, Next, when the symbol combination corresponding to Replay 1 is stopped on the active line and the symbol combination corresponding to Replay 1 cannot be stopped on the active line, the symbol combination corresponding to any combination is The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so as not to stop at the effective line.

  The replay 2 / replay 3 table A is used when “(Replay 2 + Replay 3) A” is won (when the winning flag 63a of Replay 2 and Replay 3 is ON), and within the range of stop control of the reel 31. When the stop switch 42 operated first is the left stop switch 42, the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay 3 is stopped on the effective line, and the stop switch 42 operated first is the middle or right stop switch 42. In some cases, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the symbol combination corresponding to the replay 2 is stopped on the effective line.

  The replay 2 / replay 3 table B is used when “(Replay 2 + Replay 3) B” is won (when the winning flag 63a for Replay 2 and Replay 3 is on), and the range of stop control of the reel 31 When the first operated stop switch 42 is the middle stop switch 42, the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay 3 is stopped on the effective line, and the first operated stop switch 42 is the left or right stop switch 42. In the case of, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay 2 is stopped at the effective line.

  Furthermore, the replay 2 / replay 3 table C is used when “(Replay 2 + Replay 3) C” is won (when the winning flag 63a of Replay 2 and Replay 3 is on), and is used for stop control of the reel 31. Within the range, when the first operated stop switch 42 is the right stop switch 42, the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay 3 is stopped on the effective line, and the first operated stop switch 42 is the left or middle stop switch. When it is 42, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the symbol combination corresponding to the replay 2 is stopped at the effective line.

As described above, when the replay 2 / replay 3 table A to the replay 2 / replay 3 table C are used, the replay 3 wins with a probability of 1/3 and the replay 2 wins with a probability of 2/3.
FIG. 9 is a diagram showing the relationship between the above-described replay 2 / replay 3 table A to replay 2 / replay 3 table C, the stop switch 42 operated first, and the replay to be awarded.

  The 2BB gaming table A is used when no replay is won in the 2BB game (when the winning flag 63a of the small role 1 and the small role 2 is on), that is, when the winning combination in the 2BB game is not won. The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination 1 or the small combination 2 is stopped on the effective line within the range of the stop control of the reel 31. Here, when the left stop switch 42 is operated before the middle stop switch 42 is operated, and when the left reel 31 is stopped, the symbol “cherry” can be stopped at the upper or lower stage. The stop position of the left reel 31 is determined so that the symbol “cherry” is stopped at the upper or lower stage. In this case, when the middle reel 31 is stopped, the stop position of the middle reel 31 is determined so that the “bell” symbol does not stop on any effective line.

  On the other hand, when the middle stop switch 42 is operated before the left stop switch 42 is operated, when the middle reel 31 is stopped, the symbol “bell” is stopped at the upper stage or the lower stage. A stop position is defined. In this case, when the left reel 31 is stopped, the stop position of the left reel 31 is determined so that the symbol “cherry” does not stop on any effective line.

  Therefore, if the middle stop switch 42 is operated before the left stop switch 42, the “bell” symbol of the middle reel 31 stops at the upper or lower level (the winning of the small role 2), and the four medal It becomes payout. On the other hand, if the left stop switch 42 is operated before the middle stop switch 42, the symbol “cherry” of the left reel 31 stops at the upper or lower level (the winning of the small role 1), and the four pieces The medal is paid out.

  In the 2BB game, the table B is set to the replay 1 when the winning flag 63a of the replay 1 is ON in the 2BB game (and when the winning flag 63a of the small role 1 and the small role 2 is ON), that is, during the 2BB game. This is a stop position determination table 65 used when winning alone, and the stop mode of each reel 31 is the same as the 2BB gaming table A. In this case, the winning combination 63a for the small combination 1, the small combination 2 and the replay 1 is turned on, but in the 2BB game, the winning of the small combination is given priority over the replay. For this reason, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the small combination 1 or the small combination 2 wins even if the winning flag 63a of the replay 1 is on.

  Further, as will be described later, in this embodiment, when the winning flag 63a for the small combination 1 and the small combination 2 is on, the symbol of the reel 31 is always awarded so that either the small combination 1 or the small combination 2 wins. Are arranged. For this reason, even if the winning flag 63a of the replay 1 is on, the symbol combination corresponding to the replay 1 does not stop on the active line.

  Note that the stop position may be different between the 2BB gaming table A and the 2BB gaming table B in order to diversify the stop symbol pattern. For example, when the 2nd game table A is used, when the 2nd prize is awarded, the “bell” symbol is stopped on the upper stage of the middle reel 31 and the 2nd game table B is used. In the case of winning a prize, the “bell” symbol is stopped at the bottom of the middle reel 31.

  In the 2BB game, the table C is displayed when the winning flag 63a of the replay 1 and the replay 2 is ON in the 2BB game (and when the winning flag 63a of the small role 1 and the small role 2 is ON), that is, during the 2BB game. This is a stop position determination table 65 that is used when the replay 1 and the replay 2 are overlapped, and within the range of the stop control of the reel 31, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination 1 or the small combination 2 is stopped on the effective line As described above, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined. Here, when the left stop switch 42 is operated before the middle stop switch 42 is operated, and when the left reel 31 is stopped, the symbol “cherry” can be stopped at the upper or lower stage. The stop position of the left reel 31 is determined so that the symbol “cherry” is stopped at the upper or lower stage. In this case, when the middle reel 31 is stopped, the stop position of the middle reel 31 is determined so that the “bell” symbol does not stop on any effective line.

  On the other hand, when the middle stop switch 42 is operated before the left stop switch 42 is operated, when the middle reel 31 is stopped, the stop position of the middle reel 31 is set so as to stop the “bell” symbol in the middle stage. Is stipulated. In this case, when the left reel 31 is stopped, the stop position of the left reel 31 is determined so that the symbol “cherry” does not stop on any effective line. Therefore, if the middle stop switch 42 is operated earlier than the left stop switch 42, the symbol “bell” of the middle reel 31 stops at the middle stage, and twelve medals are paid out. On the other hand, if the left stop switch 42 is operated before the middle stop switch 42, the small combination 1 wins and four payouts are made.

  As described above, when the middle stop switch 42 is first operated when the 2BB gaming table A or B is used and when the 2BB gaming table C is used, the stop at the time of winning the small role 2 is stopped. The outcome and the number of payouts will be different.

  In addition, during the 2BB game, when the winning flag 63a of both the small role and the replay is turned on, it can be set variously whether to give priority to the small role or the replay. Here, it is assumed that the number of payouts at the time of winning the replay is 3 (in fact, medals in the game are automatically inserted). Further, in the present embodiment, the payout number at the time of winning the small role 1 is set to 4 and the payout number at the time of winning the small role 2 is set to 4 or 12. As described above, when the payout number of the small role is larger than the payout number of the replay, it is advantageous for the player to prioritize the winning of the small role over the replay. For this reason, in the present embodiment, control is performed so that the winning of the small role is prioritized over the winning of the replay.

  Furthermore, the non-winning table is used when all the winning flags 63a are off (that is, at the time of non-winning of the combination in the normal game or the 1BB game), and the 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.

Next, the relationship between the symbol arrangement of the reels 31 and stop control will be described.
As shown in FIG. 2, in each reel 31, the symbols “RP” and “Bell” are arranged at intervals of 5 symbols or less. As a result, the reel control means 64 always stops the symbols “RP” and “Bell” at an arbitrary position for each reel 31 regardless of which moment the stop switch 42 is operated when the reel 31 is located. Can be made.

  In the middle reel 31, the symbols “cherry” are arranged at intervals of 5 symbols or less. As a result, the reel control means 64 always stops the “cherry” symbol at an arbitrary position for the middle reel 31 regardless of which moment the middle stop switch 42 is operated. Can do.

As described above, when the 2BB table is used, the combination of symbols corresponding to 2BB ("bell"-"cherry"-"bell") can always be stopped on the active line.
When the small combination 3 table is used, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination 3 ("bell"-"RP"-"bell") can always be stopped on the active line.

Furthermore, when the small combination 2 table X is used, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination 2 is always applied to the effective line L1 or L3 (that is, the symbol “bell” of the middle reel 31 is set to the upper stage or the lower stage). Can be stopped.
Further, when the small role 2 table Y is used, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 2 is always stopped at the effective lines L2, L4 and L5 (that is, the “bell” symbol of the middle reel 31 is middle). Can be made.

When the replay 1 table is used, the symbol combination (“RP”-“RP”-“RP”) corresponding to the replay 1 can always be stopped on the active line.
Furthermore, when the Replay 1 / Replay 2 table is used, the combination of symbols corresponding to the priority Replay 2 ("Bell"-"RP"-"RP") can always be stopped on the active line. .

  Further, when the replay 2 / replay 3 table A is used and the stop switch 42 operated first is the left stop switch 42, the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay 3 ("RP"-" RP "-" Bell ") is stopped at the active line, and whenever the first operated stop switch 42 is the middle or right stop switch 42, the symbol combination corresponding to Replay 2 is always stopped at the active line. be able to.

  Similarly, when the replay 2 / replay 3 table B is used and the stop switch 42 operated first is the middle stop switch 42, the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay 3 is always stopped on the active line. When the stop switch 42 operated first is the left or right stop switch 42, the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay 2 can always be stopped on the active line.

  Similarly, when the replay 2 / replay 3 table C is used and the stop switch 42 operated first is the right stop switch 42, the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay 3 is always set to the active line. When the stop switch 42 to be stopped and operated first is the left or middle stop switch 42, the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay 2 can always be stopped on the active line.

When the 2BB gaming table A is used, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination 1 or the small combination 2 can always be stopped on a predetermined active line.
Furthermore, when the 2BB gaming table B is used, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination 1 or the small combination 2 can always be stopped on a predetermined active line. Therefore, there is no case where Replay 1 wins.
Further, when the 2BB gaming table C is used, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination 1 or the small combination 2 can always be stopped on a predetermined active line. Therefore, there is no case where Replay 1 or Replay 2 wins.

On the other hand, the symbols of “Red 7” are arranged with an interval exceeding 5 symbols. As a result, even if the 1BB winning flag 63a is ON, the combination of symbols corresponding to 1BB stops on the active line unless the stop switch 42 is operated at the timing when the symbol of “Red 7” stops on the active line. do not do.
Similarly, the symbol “cherry” of the left reel 31 is arranged with an interval exceeding 5 symbols. As a result, even if the winning flag 63a of the small role 1 is on, if the left stop switch 42 is not operated at the timing when the symbol of “cherry” stops on the active line, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 1 is Do not stop at active line.

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.

The payout means 67 pays out medals corresponding to “the number of payouts corresponding to the combination × the number of stopped effective lines” when the combination of symbols corresponding to the combination is stopped on a plurality of active lines.
For example, the symbol combination corresponding to the small role 1 is “cherry”-“any”-“any”, but when the symbol “cherry” stops in the middle when the left reel 31 stops (this embodiment) In such a case, the symbol combination corresponding to the small combination 1 is stopped only in the active line L2. Accordingly, the number of payouts in this case is two.

  On the other hand, when the symbol “cherry” is stopped in the upper or lower stage when the left reel 31 is stopped, the combination of the symbols corresponding to the small part 1 in the active lines L1 and L4 or L3 and L5 is stopped. Become. Therefore, the number of payouts in this case is 2 sheets × 2 (effective line number) = 4 sheets.

In addition, when winning the small role 2, if the symbol "bell" stops at the upper or lower level when the middle reel 31 is stopped, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 2 on the active line L1 or L3 has stopped. It becomes. Accordingly, the number of payouts in this case is 4 sheets × 1 (number of effective lines) = 4 sheets.
On the other hand, if the symbol “bell” is stopped in the middle when the middle reel 31 is stopped during the winning of the small role 2, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 2 on the active lines L2, L4 and L5 is stopped. It will be. Therefore, the number of payouts in this case is 4 sheets × 3 (number of effective lines) = 12 sheets.

In FIG. 1, a special game control means 68 controls the start of a special game, the progress of a game during the special game, and the end of the special game.
When the combination of symbols corresponding to 1BB is stopped on the active line during the normal game, 1BB is won, and the special game control means 68 controls to start the 1BB game from the next game.
In the 1BB game, the lottery of the combination is performed using the above-described combination lottery table 62E. Thus, during the 1BB game, almost every game, the small role 2 is won, and 12 medals can be paid out.

Further, in the present embodiment, as an end condition for the 1BB game, the number of medals paid out is set to be 365 or more.
Therefore, the special game control means 68 counts the number of medals paid out during the 1BB game, and when it is determined that the count value is “365” or more, the special game control means 68 controls to end the 1BB game with the game. To do.

In addition, when the combination of symbols corresponding to 2BB stops on the active line during the normal game, 2BB is won and the special game control means 68 controls to start the 2BB game from the next game.
Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the 2BB game end condition is set such that the number of medals to be paid out is 210 or more.
For this reason, the special game control means 68 counts the number of medals paid out during the 2BB game, and when it is determined that the count value is “210” or more, the special game control means 68 controls to end the 2BB game with the game. To do.

The game state control means 69 is a normal game (non-RT game, RT1 game, RT2 game, RT3 game (the above is all non-internal medium game), internal medium game), 1BB game, 2BB in the game state of the present embodiment. It controls the transition between games.
As described above, the gaming state of the present embodiment includes a normal game and a special game, and the normal game includes a non-RT game, an RT1 game, an RT2 game, an RT3 game, and a non-internal game. The special game includes a 1BB game and a 2BB game.

  Here, “RT (Replay Time) game” refers to a game in which the winning rate of the replay is set higher than that in the normal game by setting the winning probability of replay higher than that in the normal game. The RT game refers to a game having a different probability of winning a replay than a non-RT game in a broad sense, and refers to a game having a higher probability of winning a replay than a non-RT game in a narrow sense. . In addition, the latter includes a gaming state in which the number of medals owned gradually increases as the game progresses, a gaming state in which the number of medals owned is almost maintained as the game progresses, or the number of medals owned also depends on the progress of the game. Although any game state that hardly decreases is included, the RT game (RT1 game to RT3 game) of the present embodiment is a game state in which the number of owned medal gradually increases (slightly) as the game progresses.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the gaming state. In the present embodiment, the non-RT game and the RT1 game are set to a game state that is not advantageous to the player, and the RT2 game and the RT3 game are set to a game state that is advantageous to the player. As will be described in detail later, when 2BB is won and transferred to 2BB game during non-RT game and RT1 game, the number of medals won in the 2BB game is not large. On the other hand, when 2BB is won during RT2 game and RT3 game and the game shifts to 2BB game, the number of medals obtained in the 2BB game increases.

In FIG. 10, first, when the power of the slot machine 10 is turned on, the gaming state control means 69 sets the gaming state to non-RT gaming as the gaming state as the initial state.
In any of the non-RT game, the RT1 game, the RT2 game, and the RT3 game, a 1BB lottery is performed (see FIGS. 6 and 7). In any of these games, 1BB is won, and the 1BB won in the game is selected. When winning, it shifts to 1BB game (without going through internal games). Further, when 1BB is won in any of the above games, but 1BB won in the game does not win, the game state control means 69 shifts the game state from the next game to the internal middle game. When the winning 1BB wins in this internal game, the game shifts from the next game to the 1BB game.
After the end of the 1BB game, the game state control means 69 controls the game state to shift to the RT3 game.

In the RT3 game, the game is continued until the predetermined number of games (50 games in the present embodiment) is consumed, the small role 3 is won, or 1BB is won. When the predetermined number of games is exhausted without winning 1BB and the small combination 3 not winning, the game state control means 69 controls to shift to the non-RT game from the next game. On the other hand, in the RT3 game, when the small role 3 wins before the predetermined number of games is consumed and before 1BB is won, the game state control means 69 shifts from the next game to the RT1 game. Control.
Also, in RT3 games, if 1BB is won before the specified number of games is exhausted and small role 3 wins, as described above, the game will shift to 1BB when winning and 1BB won in that game. When the player does not win, the game is controlled so as to shift to the internal game.

In RT3 games, 2BB lottery is performed (see FIG. 7). And when 2BB is won, 2BB wins by the game at the time of winning as mentioned above. Next, the game state control means 69 controls to maintain the RT3 game and execute the 2BB game from the next game. During the 2BB game, the game ends when the number of medals paid out reaches 210 or more, and returns to the RT3 game again.
When the RT3 game is shifted to the 2BB game, the winning lottery is performed with the winning probability of “Replay 1 + Replay 2” being maintained at 1 / 1.2. As described above, in the 2BB game, the small role lottery is not performed, but regardless of whether or not “Replay 1 + Replay 2” is won, the small role 1 or the small role 2 can win.

In the 2BB game, when “Replay 1 + Replay 2” is not won (when the role is not won), the above-described 2BB in-game table A is used. For this reason, in the game, four medals can be paid out.
On the other hand, when “Replay 1 + Replay 2” is won, the above-described 2BB in-game table C is used. Therefore, on the condition that the middle stop switch 42 is operated before the left stop switch 42, the game can receive a payout of 12 medals.

In the RT3 game, since the winning probability of “Replay 1 + Replay 2” is 1 / 1.2, the non-winning probability of “Replay 1 + Replay 2” is 0.2 / 1.2. Therefore, the expected value of the number of payouts in one game in the 2BB game shifted from RT3 game is
12 (sheets) x 1 / 1.2 + 4 (sheets) x 0.2 / 1.2
≒ 10.67 (sheets)
It becomes.
Also, the expected value of the difference number per game (the number of medals paid out minus the number of coins inserted) is
10.67-3 = 7.67 (sheets)
It becomes.

Therefore, 20 games can be played until the total value of the number of payouts reaches 210 (since 210 / 10.67≈19.68).
Therefore, when transitioning from RT3 game to 2BB game, the expected value of the number of medals (difference number) in the 2BB game is
7.67 × 20 = 153.4 (sheets)
It becomes.

  Further, when the small role 3 wins in the RT3 game, the game shifts to the RT1 game. The RT1 game is continued until 1BB is won, until Replay 2 wins, or until Replay 3 wins. When 1BB is won in RT1 game, it shifts to internal game or 1BB game. In the RT1 game, as described above, “Replay 2 + Replay 3” is drawn, and when “Replay 2 + Replay 3” is won, Replay 3 wins with a probability of 1/3 and a probability of 2/3. Replay 2 wins. When the replay 3 wins, the game shifts to RT2 game, and when the replay 2 wins, the game shifts to non-RT game. Since the player does not know which of “Replay 2 + Replay 3” A to C has been won, which stop switch 42 should be operated first to switch to the RT3 game (a game state advantageous to the player) I do n’t know. Therefore, when “Replay 2 + Replay 3” is won, whether or not the Replay 3 wins and can shift to the RT3 game depends on luck.

Also, in the RT1 game, the 2BB lottery is performed, and when the 2BB is won in the RT1 game and the combination of symbols corresponding to the 2BB is stopped on the active line, the 2BB game is executed from the next game. In this 2BB game, a game that maintains the winning probability of replay in the RT1 game is performed. That is, the winning probability of Replay 1 is 1 / 1.2.
In this 2BB game, 2BB gaming table A is used when Replay 1 is not won, and 2BB gaming table B is used when Replay 1 is won. Regardless of which stop position determination table 65 is used, the small combination 1 or the small combination 2 wins and the payout number is four.

Therefore, the expected value of the number of payouts in one game in the 2BB game shifted from the RT1 game is 4.
Also, the expected value of the number of differences per game is
4-3 = 1 (sheets)
It becomes.
Therefore, the difference number is “+”, that is, the number of medals to be paid out exceeds the number of inserted medals, so that in the 2BB game, the medals gradually increase as the game progresses.

Therefore, 53 games can be played until the total number of payouts reaches 210 (since 210 / 4≈52.5).
Therefore, when transitioning from RT1 game to 2BB game, the expected value of the number of medals (difference number) in the 2BB game is
1 x 53 = 53 (sheets)
It becomes.

  As described above, the expected value of the number of acquired medals in the 2BB game shifted from the RT3 game and the expected value of the number of medals acquired in the 2BB game shifted from the RT1 game are approximately three times different.

  On the other hand, the non-RT game is continued until 1BB is won or the small combination 3 wins. If 1BB is won in the non-RT game, the game shifts to an internal game or 1BB game. Also, when the small combination 3 wins, it shifts to the RT1 game.

  Furthermore, in the non-RT game, 2BB lottery is performed, and when the 2BB is won in the non-RT game and the symbol combination corresponding to 2BB is stopped on the active line, the 2BB game is executed from the next game. . In this 2BB game, a game that maintains the winning probability of replay in a non-RT game is performed. That is, the winning probability of Replay 1 is 1 / 7.3.

In this 2BB game, 2BB gaming table A is used when Replay 1 is not won, and 2BB gaming table B is used when Replay 1 is won. Regardless of which stop position determination table 65 is used, the small combination 1 or the small combination 2 wins and the payout number is four.
Therefore, the expected value of the number of acquired medals during the 2BB game is the same as the expected value of the number of acquired medals in the 2BB game shifted from the RT1 game.

  In addition, when 1BB is won in the non-RT game or the like and 1BB is not won in the game, the game shifts from the next game to the internal game. In this internal game, since the 2BB lottery is not performed as shown in FIG. 7, the game does not change from the internal game to the 2BB game. The internal game continues until 1BB wins.

  Furthermore, the RT2 game is continued until 1BB is won or the small combination 3 wins. When 1BB is won in the RT2 game, the game shifts to an internal game or 1BB game. Also, when the small combination 3 wins, it shifts to the RT1 game.

  Also, in the RT2 game, 2BB lottery is performed. When 2BB is won and 2BB wins, the game state control means 69 controls to execute the 2BB game while maintaining the winning probability of the replay in the RT2 game from the next game. During the 2BB game, the game ends when the number of medals paid out reaches 210 or more, and returns to the RT2 game again.

  The 2BB game transferred from the RT2 game is played with the same winning probability as the 2BB game transferred from the RT3 game. Therefore, the expected value of the number of medals acquired in the 2BB game is the same as that of the 2BB game shifted from the RT3 game.

As described above, when the RT2 game or the RT3 game is shifted to the 2BB game, the medal acquisition number is large, and when the non-RT game or the RT1 game is shifted to the 2BB game, the medal acquisition number is small. Thereby, even if it is the same 2BB game, a difference can be provided in a ball depending on the game state at the time of 2BB winning, and an appropriate wave can be given to a ball.
In addition, as shown in FIG. 10, the RT3 game has an opportunity to stay only after the end of the 1BB game. Furthermore, in order to shift to the RT2 game, the user must always go through the RT1 game.

  As described above, the medal payout number is the same, but the medal acquisition number (difference number) is different depending on which game the 2BB is won during the stay of the game. In particular, when the winning probability of 2BB is set to be relatively high as in the present embodiment, the 2BB game is more likely to be executed, so that it is difficult to make a difference in the number of medals obtained among players. However, by setting as in the present embodiment, the same 2BB game can be set so that there is a difference in the number of medals obtained.

  Since the 2BB game is a game that gives the player a profit (advantageous), even if the maximum number of moving symbols of some reels 31 (the left reel 31 in this embodiment) is reduced, the player's Regardless of the operation timing of the stop switch 42, one of the small combination winning flags 63a that is automatically turned on (and profit is higher than replay) is controlled to win. That is, in the 2BB game, even when the replay is won, control is performed so as to give priority to the winning of a small role that is advantageous over the replay (the number of medals to be paid out is large).

  Here, in the present embodiment, in the game other than the 2BB game, such as a normal game (non-RT game, RT1 game to RT3 game, etc.), the winning combination 63a for the small role and the replay is simultaneously turned on in the game. It is set so that the small role and replay will not win simultaneously. If such a game is set so that a small combination and replay are won in succession (both winning flags 63a are turned on), the replay is always controlled with priority.

In FIG. 1, the effect control means 70 controls the output of effects from the lamp 21, the speaker 22, and the image display device 23 described above.
The effect control means 70 selects an effect pattern for each game based on the lottery result of the combination by the combination lottery means 61. Particularly in this embodiment, a plurality of types of effect patterns are provided in advance. Then, the effect control means 70 selects one effect pattern by lottery using software random numbers after the role lottery means 61 has been drawn at the start of the game.

In addition, a plurality of types of production patterns are provided according to the winning combination. For example, a plurality of types of effect patterns are provided for each special role winning, small role winning, 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 70 controls to output an effect from the effect output device at a predetermined timing according to the selected effect pattern.

<Second Embodiment>
Subsequently, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.
FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a symbol arrangement of each reel 31 in the second embodiment. In the second embodiment, the symbol arrangement is different from that of the first embodiment (FIG. 2). In particular, in the left reel 31, the symbol “cherry” is arranged only at the 0th position. In addition, the bottom two (No. 19 and No. 20) symbols of this “Cherry” are double “Red 7” symbols. In addition, the symbol “red 7” is arranged only in 19th and 20th.
Furthermore, in the middle reel 31, the symbol “red 7” is arranged only at the 20th position.
Further, in the right reel 31, the symbols “Red 7” are arranged on the 15th and 16th (double “red 7”).

  FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating a combination of a combination of symbols and symbols in the second embodiment. In the second embodiment, the combination of symbols of the small role 2 is set to “bell”-“bell”-“bell”. Furthermore, the replay includes three types of replay 1 to replay 3 as in the first embodiment.

FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating a role lottery table 62 (62G to 62K) in the second embodiment.
The combination lottery table 62G is a combination lottery table 62 used in non-RT games, and only replay 1 is selected as a replay, and the winning probability thereof is 1 / 7.3. In the second embodiment, only one RT game is provided as an RT game, and in this RT game, a lottery for a combination is performed using a combination lottery table 62H.

In the role lottery table 62H, the replays to be drawn are provided with three replays 1 to 3, each of which is 1 / 1.2 × 1/3 (the combined winning probability of replay is 1 / 1.2). Is set.
The combination lottery table 62I is a combination lottery table 62 used in an internal game, and is different from the combination lottery table 62G in that a special combination lottery is not performed.
Furthermore, the combination lottery table 62J is a combination lottery table 62 used in the 1BB game, and only the small combination 1 and the small combination 2 are selected, and the winning probability of the small combination 2 is particularly set high.

  Further, the combination lottery table 62K is a combination lottery table 62 used in the 2BB game. In the second embodiment, as in the first embodiment, during the 2BB game, no lottery is drawn, but the winning flags 63a of the small roles 1 and 2 are turned on, and the small roles 1 and 1 A stop position determination table 65 that can win 2 is used.

  In addition, when a player wins 2BB in a non-RT game and shifts to a 2BB game, the winning probability of replay in the non-RT game is maintained. That is, the winning probability of Replay 1 is set to 1 / 7.3. On the other hand, when 2BB is won in RT game and it shifts to 2BB game, the winning probability of replay in RT game is maintained. That is, each winning probability of Replay 1 to Replay 3 is set to 1 / 1.2 × 1/3.

FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating an effective line in the second embodiment. In the second embodiment, as for the normal game (non-RT game, RT game, internal game) and 1BB game, as in the first embodiment, there are five effective lines (effective lines L1 to L5). Yes (see FIG. 3).
In contrast, in the 2BB game, as shown in FIG. 14A, the effective line is set to one effective line L1.

Here, in 2nd Embodiment, the 2BB game in-game tables D, E, F, and G are provided as the stop position determination table 65 used during 2BB game.
First, in the 2BB game, the table D is not won in any replay in the 2BB game (when the winning flag 63a of the small role 1 and the small role 2 is on), that is, the non-winning of the role in the 2BB game The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination 1 or the small combination 2 is stopped on the effective line within the range of the stop control of the reel 31. In particular, when the left stop switch 42 is operated, the stop position of the left reel 31 is determined so that the symbol “cherry” of the left reel 31 is stopped on the effective line L1.

FIG. 14A is a diagram illustrating a stop mode when the 2BB gaming table D is used. In the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12, the payout number of the small combination 1 is set to 3 and the payout number of the small combination 2 is set to 4. For this reason, during the 2BB game, the player operates the (left) stop switch 42 so that the small role 1 is won.
Further, in the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, the symbol “cherry” in the left reel 31 is arranged only at the 0th position. Therefore, the player operates the left stop switch 42 so that the symbol of “0” “cherry” stops on the active line L1.

As in the first embodiment, the reel control means 64 controls to stop the reel 31 within 1 symbol for the left reel 31 and within 4 symbols for the middle and right reel 31 during the 2BB game.
When the left stop switch 42 is operated at the timing when the symbol of “No. 0“ Cherry ”stops on the effective line L1, as shown in FIG. The symbol “Red 7” in the middle, and “Red 7” in the bottom stop. As a result, the symbol “cherry” stops on the active line L1, and six medals are paid out.

  14A to 14D, for the middle reel 31, the stop when the middle stop switch 42 is operated immediately before the “red 7” symbol of No. 20 passes the effective line L1 (upper stage). Indicates the position. In the case of FIG. 14A, that is, when the 2BB gaming table D is used, if the middle stop switch 42 is operated at the above timing, the movement is controlled by three symbols and stops. As a result, in the display window 11, the symbol “No. 2” at the top, the symbol “No. 1” at the middle, and the symbol “RP” 0 at the bottom are stopped.

  14A to 14D show the stop position when the right stop switch 42 is operated for the right reel 31 immediately before the 15th “red 7” symbol passes through the effective line L1. ing. As shown in FIG. 14A, when the 2BB in-game table D is used, if the right stop switch 42 is operated at the above timing, the movement is controlled by 4 symbols and stops. As a result, the 19th “bell” symbol in the upper row, the 18th “watermelon” symbol in the middle row, and the 17th “RP” symbol in the lower row are stopped on the display window 11.

  Furthermore, FIG. 14 (B) is a figure which shows a stop mode when the table E during 2BB game is used. The 2BB gaming table E is used when the replay 1 is won in the 2BB game, and the left reel 31 is controlled to stop as in the 2BB gaming table D. On the other hand, the middle reel 31 and the right reel 31 are different from the 2BB gaming table D in stop control.

  In the 2BB gaming table E, if the middle stop switch 42 is operated just before the “red 7” symbol of No. 20 of the middle reel 31 in FIG. 11 passes the effective line L1 (upper stage), the symbol moves by one symbol. Controlled and stopped. As a result, the symbol “RP” of 0 in the upper row, the symbol “Red 7” of 20 in the middle row, and the symbol “Bell” of 19 in the lower row of the display window 11 are stopped. The stop mode shown in FIG.

  In the 2BB gaming table E, if the right stop switch 42 is operated immediately before the 15th “red 7” symbol of the right reel 31 passes through the active line L1, the movement is controlled by 3 symbols and stops. . As a result, the 18th “watermelon” symbol in the upper row, the 17th “RP” symbol in the middle row, and the 16th “red 7” symbol in the lower row are stopped on the display window 11, and FIG. The stop mode shown in FIG.

Further, FIG. 14C is a diagram showing a stop mode when the 2BB gaming table F is used. The 2BB gaming table F is used when the replay 2 is won in the 2BB game, and the left reel 31 is controlled to stop as in the 2BB gaming table D.
Further, in the 2BB gaming table F, when the middle stop switch 42 is operated immediately before the “red 7” symbol of No. 20 of the middle reel 31 in FIG. 11 passes the effective line L1, the movement is controlled by one symbol. And stop. As a result, the stop mode of the middle reel 31 is the same as that in the 2BB gaming table E (FIG. 14B).

Furthermore, in the 2BB gaming table F, if the right stop switch 42 is operated immediately before the 15th “red 7” symbol of the right reel 31 passes through the effective line L1, the right reel 31 stops at that moment. As a result, the display window 11 displays the “red 7” symbol in the upper row, the “bell” symbol in the middle row, and the “watermelon” in the lower row. "Is stopped, and the stop mode shown in FIG.
In this case, “red 7”-“red 7”-“red 7” (the same symbol combination as 1BB) stops on the symbol combination line L11 which is not an effective line in the 2BB game.

Further, FIG. 14D is a diagram showing a stop mode when the 2BB gaming table G is used. The 2BB gaming table G is used when the replay 3 is won in the 2BB game, and the left reel 31 is controlled to stop as in the 2BB gaming table D.
In the 2BB gaming table G, if the middle stop switch 42 is operated immediately before the “red 7” symbol of No. 20 of the middle reel 31 in FIG. To be stopped. As a result, the stop mode of the middle reel 31 is the same as that in the 2BB gaming tables E and F (FIGS. 14B and 14C).

Furthermore, in the 2BB gaming table G, if the right stop switch 42 is operated immediately before the “red 7” symbol of No. 15 on the right reel 31 passes the effective line L1, the movement is controlled by one symbol to the right. The reel 31 stops. As a result, in the display window 11, the 16th “Red 7” symbol on the upper row, the 15th “Red 7” symbol on the middle row, and the 14th “Bell” symbol on the lower row are stopped. It becomes a stop mode shown in D).
In this case, “red 7”-“red 7”-“red 7” (the same symbol combination as 1BB) stops on the symbol combination lines L11 and L12 which are not valid lines in the 2BB game.

  As described above, in the second embodiment, during the 2BB game, the stop mode of the symbols appearing in the display window 11 differs depending on whether or not the replay is won and which replay is won. However, in both cases, small role 1 wins. By doing in this way, even if the game that the game 1 wins every game and the small role 1 continues during the 2BB game, it is possible to diversify the stop appearance.

  In the second embodiment, there are various patterns of transition between non-RT games and RT games. For example, after the end of the 1BB game, a predetermined number of games (for example, 150 games) stays in the RT game, and when the predetermined number of games has been consumed, a transition to a non-RT game is given. In addition, a lottery is drawn for a specific small role during a non-RT game, and when this small role is won, the game shifts to the RT game, and after a predetermined number of games (for example, 100 games) is consumed, the game returns to the non-RT game again. To do so.

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 the first embodiment, the small role 2 is stopped at one effective line or three effective lines. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination 2 and the number of effective lines that can be stopped can be variously set.

  For example, the symbol combination corresponding to the small role 2 is “any”-“any”-“bell”, and the effective line L21 is “upper (left reel 31)” — “upper (middle reel 31)” — “middle (right) Reel 31) ", the effective line L22 is" middle stage "-" middle stage "-" middle stage ", and the effective line L23 is" lower stage "-" lower stage "-" lower stage ". If the “bell” symbol is stopped at the middle when the right reel 31 is stopped, it can be stopped at two effective lines. If the “bell” symbol is stopped at the lower stage when the right reel 31 is stopped, It can be stopped at one active line.

(2) In this embodiment, as the stop control of the reel 31 during the 2BB game, only the left reel 31 is controlled to move within one symbol. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the stop control of the middle reel 31 and the right reel 31 is performed. It is good also as movement control within one pattern.
(3) During the RT game, any number of types of replays may be drawn. In addition, it is also arbitrary which replay is elected alone and which replay is duplicated. In addition, the winning probability of replay during RT games is not limited to that shown in the embodiment, and can be set in various ways. The higher the replay win probability, the higher the play rate during RT games can be set.

  (4) In the second embodiment, the stop position of the left reel 31 in the 2BB game is the same. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be different depending on the winning state of the replay. Further, in the second embodiment, when “red 7”-“red 7”-“red 7” etc. are stopped on any invalid line, the player shifts to a gaming state that is advantageous to the player. You may make it give a privilege.

  (5) In the first embodiment and the second embodiment, only the RT game is provided. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For at least one RT game (for example, the RT2 game in the first embodiment), AT (Assist Time) An ART game to which a game is added may be provided. In this case, the RT game is set to end when the specific combination wins. In the ART game, when a specific combination is won, information (such as information on the winning symbol) for not allowing the specific combination to win is notified.

  (6) In the first embodiment, the RT1 game, the RT2 game, and the RT3 game are the winning probabilities of the roles, excluding the small role 3 and “Replay 2 + Replay 3” that are positioned as the game state transition combination in the gaming state. Are the same. Therefore, the payout rate excluding the 2BB game of the RT1 game, the RT2 game, and the RT3 game is the same. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be set so that the winning rate of these RT games is different by making the winning probability of replay different in each of the RT1 game, the RT2 game, and the RT3 game.

  (7) In the second embodiment, the winning probability of the replay 3 can be changed according to the set value that determines the payout rate of the slot machine 10. For example, the higher the set value, the higher the winning probability of Replay 3 is set.
