Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine that gives a prize when a combination of symbols stopped and displayed on a winning line of a predetermined symbol display means is a combination of symbols corresponding to a winning combination determined by a winning combination determining means. It is.

  Conventionally, pachinko slot machines (rotating game machines, hereinafter referred to as “pachislots”), which are a type of gaming machine, have used medals and game media (hereinafter referred to as “medals”), and are used for pachislot. The game (variable game) can be started by inserting the medal. Such a pachislot is equipped with a bonus game in which a player who is awarded by winning a bonus in a lottery performed based on the start of the game can win a large number of award medals. The bonus game is an advantageous state in which a large number of medals that the player can acquire can be increased.

  And in recent pachislot machines, there has been proposed one that causes an advantageous state different from the bonus game. As an advantageous state different from such a bonus game, there is one that can increase the winning probability of a re-playing role (replaying role) that becomes a re-play (for example, Patent Document 1). In Patent Document 1, a first lottery table having a normal probability of winning a re-game player and a second lottery table having a higher probability than the normal probability are provided. After the game is finished, it is determined which lottery table is used to develop the game. By doing so, in Patent Document 1, during the bonus game, not only a game in which a medal is simply acquired, but also a bonus game by giving expectation to which lottery table will be used to develop the game after the bonus game ends. It is improving the inside interest.

  Further, in recent pachislot machines, it has been proposed that the bonus game is continued until the medals exceeding the prescribed number are paid out. In a pachislot that employs such a bonus game, during the bonus game, whether or not the player wins the winning combination, and the type of the winning combination can be selected by the operation timing of the stop operation (so-called “eye-push”). There is a thing (for example, patent document 2). In Patent Document 2, during a bonus game, a winning combination that can acquire medals and a winning combination that cannot acquire medals are simultaneously selected, and a winning combination that can acquire medals is selected according to the game situation or a medal is awarded. There is one that allows the player to select whether to win a winning combination that cannot be won.

  For example, in Patent Document 2, in the case of a specification in which a bonus game is “345”, and continues until a medal that exceeds “345” is paid out, the number of payouts during the bonus game is “332”. When “14” is paid out at this point, the bonus game ends with a total of “346” payout. On the other hand, in the case of the above specification, if “14” is paid out when the number of payouts during the bonus game is “331”, the payout number becomes “345” and one or more medals are paid out. Finally, the bonus game ends with a total of “346 or more” payouts. Therefore, during a bonus game, a game will not be played until a prescribed number of medals are paid out, but a difference in the number of medals that can be obtained by intervention of a gaming technique (gaming method) such as adjusting the number of payouts occurs. It has become possible to play, and the interest during the bonus game is improved by intervening the game technology.

  However, in the pachislot as in Patent Document 1, it is already determined at the time of winning the bonus role which game is to be developed in the lottery table after the bonus game is finished, and the development is made depending on the technology of the game during the bonus game. It was hard to say that the interest in the bonus game was sufficiently improved because it was not a change. On the other hand, the pachislot as disclosed in Patent Document 2 is configured to intervene technology during the bonus game, and there may be a difference in medals that can be obtained by the game technology during the bonus game. However, for example, when the maximum number of payouts in the pachislot is set to “15”, the difference in the number of medals that can be obtained by the player with the intervention of the gaming technique is “14” at the maximum. Since some players do not think that it is a sufficient price for the intervention of gaming technology, it is difficult to say that such players have sufficiently improved their interest in bonus games.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to such problems existing in the prior art, and the purpose of the present invention is in a gaming machine adopting a configuration in which a gaming technique is intervened during a bonus game. An object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine that can sufficiently enhance interest during bonus games by giving sufficient consideration for intervention.

  In order to achieve the above object, the invention according to claim 1 is characterized in that a symbol display means for displaying a plurality of symbols, and the symbol display means for changing the plurality of symbols according to a predetermined arrangement in one time. When the game is started, a selection means for allowing the player to select a bet number of game media in a range from a predetermined minimum bet number to a maximum bet number, and once by changing the symbol in the symbol display means A start signal output means for outputting a start signal for instructing the start of the one game based on the start operation performed by the player when starting the game, and the input of the start signal A winning combination determining means for determining a winning combination by lottery from a plurality of predetermined winning combinations based on the symbol, a symbol changing means for starting the variation of the symbol based on the input of the start signal, and a player The stop signal output means for outputting a stop signal for instructing the stop of the fluctuation of the symbol that is fluctuating in the symbol display means based on the stop operation by the symbol display means; Stop control means for stopping the symbol that is, the combination of the symbols that are stopped and displayed on the winning line of the symbol display means determined in advance of the symbol corresponding to the winning combination determined by the winning combination determining means A prize is awarded in the case of a combination, on the condition that the winning combination determining means determines a bonus combination among the winning combinations, and a combination of symbols corresponding to the bonus combination is stopped and displayed on the winning line. In a gaming machine for generating a bonus game, an end determination means for determining whether or not a bonus end condition is satisfied during the bonus game, and a previous game during the occurrence of the bonus game. Controls various control states during the occurrence of the bonus game so that the winning combination determination means determines the winning combination for each control state in which the winning combination and the winning probability for each winning combination are determined, and the bonus During the game, when the end determination means determines that the bonus end condition is satisfied, the bonus control for performing the bonus control for ending the bonus game in any control state, and during the non-occurrence of the bonus game Usually, various control states during non-occurrence of the bonus game are controlled so that the winning combination determination means determines the winning combination for each control state in which the winning combination is determined for each winning combination and the winning probability for each winning combination Game control means for performing control, and in the various control states, winning is determined by lottery by the winning combination determining means under the condition that the bonus game is occurring. Predetermined symbol combinations corresponding only under the conditions can be stopped and displayed on the winning line, and the predetermined symbol combinations are displayed on the symbol display means when the player performs a stop operation. Depending on whether the winning combination is arranged on the symbol display means so that it cannot be stopped and displayed on the winning line, the corresponding selection is determined and the corresponding predetermined symbol combination is stopped and displayed on the winning line. A first bonus control state in which it is possible to determine as a winning combination a specific winning combination in which the fact that the corresponding selection is continuously held is held, and the winning of the specific winning combination during the first bonus control state A combination of predetermined symbols corresponding to the specific winning combination, which is started after the fact that the specific winning combination has been memorized and held, is stopped and displayed on the winning line. A second bonus control that is started when a combination of a specific control state that continues under no condition and a predetermined symbol combination corresponding to the specific winning combination is stopped and displayed on the winning line during the specific control state A combination of a state and a predetermined symbol corresponding to the case where the winning combination is determined under the condition that the bonus game is not occurring is stopped and displayed on the winning line to bet the game medium A normal control state that can determine a re-playing role that gives a player a replay that can be executed without any game, and the specific control state is during the occurrence of the bonus game and the specific winning state The bonus specific control state in which the fact that the role is won is stored and held, and the bonus game is not occurring, and the bonus end condition is set during the bonus specific control state. A normal middle specific control state in which the re-gamer can be determined in a state after being established and the lottery probability state of the re-gamer is higher than the normal control state. When the normal control is performed with the end of the bonus game, the means continues the specific control state during the specific control state and after the bonus end condition is satisfied during the bonus specific control state. The main point is that the control is performed in the normal control state while the bonus end condition is satisfied when the control is not performed in the normal control state.

  The invention according to claim 2 is the gaming machine according to claim 1, wherein the various control states are started when the special winning combination is won under the condition that the bonus game is not occurring. A normal special control state in which the winning probability of the re-gamer is set higher than a high probability state in the normal medium specific control state, the normal control state controlled after the bonus game is ended, and the normal medium specific In the control state, the special winning combination may be determined as a winning combination, and the special control state during normal is configured to have a higher probability of winning the special winning combination than the normal control state. The gist.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the gaming machine according to the second aspect, of the winning combinations, the bonus combination includes a first bonus combination and a second bonus combination having different combinations of corresponding symbols. The special winning combination includes a plurality of different combinations of corresponding symbols, and the normal special control state includes a disadvantageous normal special control state and a game than the disadvantageous normal special control state. The game control means includes an advantageous normal special control state that is set so as to increase the profit that can be expected by the player, and that each of the types of the special winning combination that becomes a start opportunity is different. In the bonus control, when the bonus control is triggered by the winning of the first bonus combination in starting the specific control state, the first specific control status is In addition, the control is performed in the specific control state during the first bonus, and if the bonus game is triggered by the winning of the second bonus combination in starting the specific control state in the bonus control, the second specific is performed. The control is performed in the second bonus medium specific control state together with the control state, and the bonus end condition is set during the first bonus medium specific control state in the normal control. After the establishment, the control is performed in the first normal special control state, and after the bonus end condition is established in the second bonus special control state in the normal control in the normal special control state. Is a special winning combination that triggers the start of the advantageous normal special control state over the first normal specific control state. And summarized in that controlled by the second normal in the particular control state configured as winning probability is high.

A right reel 13R as a third symbol row is arranged adjacent to the provided. The symbols printed on the reels 13L, 13C, and 13R of the drum unit 13 are arranged in a predetermined order as shown in FIG. On the left reel 13L of the drum unit 13, 21 symbols of symbols L00 to L20 are arranged. Further, 21 symbols from symbol C00 to symbol C20 are arranged on the middle reel 13C. In addition, 21 symbols from symbol R00 to symbol R20 are arranged on the right reel 13R. Then, in the changing game, the left reel 13L changes so that the symbol L00, the symbol L01,... Further, in the changing game, the middle reel 13C changes such that the symbols C00, C01,..., C20, and C00 are displayed in the transparent window 16 in this order. In the changing game, the right reel 13R changes so that the symbol R00, the symbol R01,..., The symbol R20, and the symbol R00 are displayed in the transparent window 16 in this order. In the present embodiment, each reel 13L, 13C, 13R is decorated with a symbol that imitates “cherry” (such as symbol L00), a symbol that emulates “watermelon” (such as symbol L01), and the letters “REPLAY”. Symbols (such as symbol L02 (replay)) and symbols (such as symbol L03) simulating “bell” are arranged in each. Further, in each reel 13L, 13C, 13R, a symbol imitating “☆ (star)” (eg symbol L05 (blank symbol)), a symbol “7” decorated with “red” characters (eg symbol L08). (Red Seven)) are arranged in each. In each reel 13L, 13C, 13R, a symbol “blue” is decorated to imitate “7” (such as symbol L15 (blue seven)), and a symbol “BAR” is decorated (such as symbol L18). (A blank symbol for the left reel 13L and the middle reel 13C) is arranged in each. A blank symbol is a symbol combination in which a combination of symbols on a winning line including the blank symbol is out of order and one or more bonus games or prize medals are not awarded as a prize. Each reel 13L, 13C, 13R is configured to rotate and stop in the vertical direction independently by a stepping motor (not shown) provided corresponding to each reel, and each reel 13L, 13C, 13R. By rotating, various symbols are displayed (varied) on the see-through window 16 while continuously changing. And when rotation of each reel 13L, 13C, 13R stops, in the see-through window 16, three consecutive symbols among a plurality of symbols printed on the reel sheet of each reel 13L, 13C, 13R are the upper stage, It is displayed at the middle and lower positions. For this reason, the see-through window 16 is formed in such a size that three symbols can be displayed on each reel 13L, 13C, 13R. The pachislot 10 is formed with a plurality (three in this embodiment) of winning lines L1, L2, and L3 that define combinations of symbols to be stopped and displayed in the display area of the symbols that can be seen through the see-through window 16. ing. Each reel 13L, 13C, 13R has reel sensors SE1, SE2, SE3 (shown in FIG. 3) for detecting the rotational position of each reel 13L, 13C, 13R. Each is provided to correspond.

  In addition, the central panel 15 is configured with a display unit 19 for notifying information related to the variable game. The display unit 19 includes an insertable display LED 20a, a replay display lamp 20b, a weight display LED 20c, a status lamp 20d, a bet number display unit 21, a stored number display unit 22, a prize number display unit 23, and a payout number display unit. 24 is formed.

When set and the stored data (credit) reaches the upper limit number of credits, the light is turned off. The re-game display lamp 20b provides a state in which a re-game player (a player can set the bet number automatically without setting the bet number and start the next variable game in the variable game. Lights when the winning role) wins. The weight display LED 20c is turned on when a start operation is detected during the wait time, and is turned off after the wait time has elapsed. The wait time is the shortest game time that is set to restrict the floating game from progressing too fast. If a start operation is detected during this wait time, each reel is played after the wait time has elapsed. 13L, 13C, and 13R are set to start. Therefore, when a variable game is advanced with a sufficient time interval, the progress of the variable game is not restricted during the start operation, but when the variable game is advanced in a short time, it varies depending on the wait time. The progress of the game is temporarily restricted, and the reels are in a waiting state until the wait time elapses. In the pachi-slot 10, for example, the shortest game time of 4.1 seconds is set on the basis of the time when the rotation of the reel is started in the previous variation game, and 4 times from the time when the rotation of the reel is started in the previous variation game. If the current start operation is detected before 1 second has elapsed, the reel starts rotating after the shortest game time has elapsed. The status lamp 20d is turned on / off in accordance with the progress of the variable game.

When not, the player follows the route (not shown) and pays out (returns) to the player from the medal discharge port 36.

  In the pachi-slot 10 of this embodiment, three pay lines L1, L2, and L3 are defined as shown in FIG. When the player operates the BET button 28 and the MAXBET button 29, the respective bets are set and two winning lines L2, 2 on the diagonal diagonal line are added in addition to the winning line L1 in the horizontal row at the bottom. L3 is validated. A winning line is valid when a combination of symbols displayed on the winning line is valid, and a combination of symbols displayed on a valid winning line forms a predetermined award pattern. As a result, the award medal is paid out. In the present embodiment, the three pay lines L1 to L3 are configured to be effective regardless of the number of bets set in the variable game. Note that when the bet number is set to the maximum number of 3 bets, the BET button LED 28a and the MAX BET button LED 29a are turned off because the bet number exceeding the bet cannot be set.

  If the number of bets is set as described above and the start lever 32 can be operated, that is, if the player performs a start operation to operate the start lever 32 in a state where the game can be started, each reel 13L of the drum unit 13 is operated. , 13C, and 13R are rotated, and a plurality of types of symbols are displayed on the transparent window 16 so as to continuously change. When the start lever 32 is started by the player, the start lever 32 outputs a start signal indicating the start operation to the main control board 40 (main control CPU 40a).

  Thereafter, when a predetermined time has elapsed since the rotation of the reels 13L, 13C, and 13R is started, the operations of the stop buttons 33L, 33C, and 33R can be accepted, and the operations of the stop buttons 33L, 33C, and 33R are accepted. Each stop button LED 34L, 34C, 34R indicating that it can be accepted lights up in blue. If the player performs a stop operation of pressing any one of the stop buttons 33L, 33C, and 33R in a state where each of the stop button LEDs 34L, 34C, and 34R is lit in blue, the corresponding stop button LEDs 34L, 34C, and 34R are performed. Lights red. Each stop button 33L, 33C, 33R outputs a stop signal indicating that the stop operation has been performed to the main control board 40 (main control CPU 40a) when the stop operation is performed by the player.

When the stop button 33L, 33C, 33R is not stopped by the player, the reels 13L, 13C, 13R continue to rotate until the stop button 33L, 33C, 33R is stopped. .

  When all of the reels 13L, 13C, and 13R are stopped, a combination of symbols forming a predetermined award pattern is displayed on any of the activated pay lines L1 to L3. A prize (award medal, replay, bonus game, replay time game) as a privilege according to the winning award mode is awarded to the player. For example, when award medals are awarded as prizes, the number of medals corresponding to the winning prize mode is awarded to the player as prize medals. The number of award medals awarded is displayed on the award number display unit 23. Also, especially when a combination of predetermined symbols is displayed and a bonus combination is won, a bonus game is generated that is advantageous to the player, that is, a large amount of award medals can be obtained unlike a normal game. A bonus game (a big bonus game or a regular bonus game (actually a challenge time)) is awarded as a prize to the player. That is, the bonus game is a game state (control state) that is more advantageous to the player than before a predetermined combination of symbols is stopped and displayed on the winning line. The normal game indicates a game state (variable game) that is not a bonus game.

  In the pachislot machine 10 of the present embodiment, a variable game (game) is started once when the start operation of the start lever 32 is started, and the combination of symbols is stopped (stop display) by the stop operation of the stop buttons 33L, 33C, 33R. Is done. When the symbol combination is stopped and displayed, award medals are paid out according to the symbol combination (zero prize medals are paid out when it is not determined that award medals will be given) As a trigger, one variation game (game) is completed. In the present embodiment, even during a bonus game, the start timing is the start of a variable game, and a single variable game is performed in which the variable game is ended with the end timing.

In the pachi-slot 10 of the present embodiment, a combination of symbols that stops at any of the winning lines L1 to L3 will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 4 shows a combination of symbols indicating combinations of symbols that stop at any one of the winning lines L1 to L3 based on a winning combination determined internally, and a prize corresponding to the combination of symbols. In the present embodiment, the number of award medals given to the combination is determined for each gaming state (for each normal game and bonus game).

  In the present embodiment, when none of the symbol combinations corresponding to the winning combination shown in FIG. 4 is stopped and displayed on the winning lines L1 to L3, the symbol combination corresponding to the off-combination is removed. It is said. And, in the internal lottery, any winning combination (bonus combination and small combination) shown in FIG. 4 is not determined as the winning combination (the winning combination is determined as the winning combination), and the winning lines L1 to L1 When the combination of symbols indicating any winning combination (bonus combination and small combination) shown in FIG. 4 is not stopped and displayed in L3, one or more prize medals are not given to the player (zero prize medals are given) It has become so. In the internal lottery, when a winning combination (payout winning combination) that determines that a prize medal is to be awarded as a prize is won, but the combination of symbols in the winning aspect is not stopped (missed) Even if there is, a prize medal is not given to the player.

  In the present embodiment, the combination of symbols on one of the winning lines L1 to L3 is stopped and displayed to give (pay out) a prize medal as “watermelon role”, “cherry role”, “ "Bell role" is provided.

  As a combination of symbols corresponding to the watermelon role, a combination of symbols in which three combinations of “watermelon” symbols from the left reel 13L are stopped and displayed in a straight line on any of the winning lines L1 to L3 is determined. . And when a watermelon combination is determined as a winning combination in the internal lottery, when the combination of symbols by “watermelon” is stopped and displayed on the winning lines L1 to L3, the number corresponding to the watermelon combination corresponding to each game state Award medals are awarded to the player.

  As a combination of symbols corresponding to the cherry role, “cherry” is stopped and displayed on either the upper stage of the left reel 13L (on the winning line L2) or the lower stage of the left reel 13L (winning lines L1, L3). A combination of symbols is defined. When the winning combination is determined as the winning combination in the internal lottery, when the “cherry” symbol (combination of symbols) is stopped and displayed on either the upper or lower portion of the left reel 13L, each gaming state The number of award medals corresponding to the cherry role corresponding to is awarded to the player. In addition, when the cherry combination is determined as the winning combination in the internal lottery, the symbols that are stopped and displayed on the middle reel 13C and the right reel 13R may be any symbols.

  Also, as a combination of symbols corresponding to the bell role, a combination of symbols that are stopped and displayed in the order of “bell bell bell” from the left reel 13L in a straight line on any of the winning lines L1 to L3 is determined. ing. Then, when the winning combination is determined as a winning combination in the internal lottery, when the combination of symbols “Bell / Bell / Bell” is stopped and displayed on the winning lines L1 to L3, the bell combination corresponding to each game state is displayed. The number of award medals corresponding to is awarded to the player.

  In addition, a “re-game role (replay role)” is provided as a role that allows the player to play the next variable game by automatically setting the bet number without betting the number of bets. Yes. In the present embodiment, the re-playing combination is composed of three types of combinations of normal lip combination, special lip combination A, and special lip combination B. As a combination of symbols corresponding to the normal lip combination, there is one type of symbol combination that is stopped and displayed in the order of “Replay / Replay / Replay” from the left reel 13L in a straight line to any of the winning lines L1 to L3. It has been established. When the normal lip combination is determined as the winning combination in the internal lottery, the combination of symbols “Replay / Replay / Replay” is stopped and displayed on the winning lines L1 to L3, so that the player can set the bet number The next variable game can be played without betting. When the bet number is bet by replaying, the corresponding bet number is set in the same manner as when the BET buttons 28 and 29 are operated by the player. That is, in the present embodiment, setting the bet number means that the player operates the BET buttons 28 and 29 to set the bet number, and the case where the bet number is automatically set internally by replaying. There is. Further, in the pachi-slot 10 of the present embodiment, when the bet number is automatically set internally by replay, the bet is based on the bet number selected by the player in the variable game that has been given the replay. Since the number is set, it can be said that the player has selected the bet number even when the bet number by replaying is set. For example, when the re-gamer is stopped and displayed in a variable game in which 3 bets are set, a variable game in which 3 bets are set is guaranteed.

  In addition, as a combination of symbols corresponding to the special lip combination A, there is one type in which three of the winning lines L1 to L3 are displayed in a straight line from the left reel 13L in the order of “Replay / Replay / Bell”. A combination of symbols is defined. When the special lip combination A is determined as the winning combination in the internal lottery, the combination of symbols “Replay / Replay / Bell” is stopped and displayed on the winning lines L1 to L3, so that the player The next variable game can be played without betting.

  In addition, as a combination of symbols corresponding to the special lip combination B, there is one type in which three symbols are stopped and displayed in the order of “Replay Bell Bell” from the left reel 13L to any of the winning lines L1 to L3. A combination of symbols is defined. When the special lip combination B is determined as the winning combination in the internal lottery, the combination of the symbols “Replay Bell Bell” is stopped and displayed on the winning lines L1 to L3, so that the player can The next variable game can be played without betting.

  In the re-gamer, the prize medal is not paid out to the player, and only the next variable game can be played with the same number of bets as the variable game in which the re-game player is stopped. The medal is not paid out to the player as an award. In other words, even if the re-game player wins a prize, the player cannot obtain an award medal by winning the prize. In this embodiment, “bell role”, “watermelon role”, “cherry role”, and “re-game role” are small roles. Further, when a combination of symbols is stopped and displayed on the winning lines L1 to L3, a “bell role” or “watermelon role” is paid out to the player according to the symbol combination as a prize. The “cherry role” is the payout role.

In addition, “Red Seven Role” and “Blue Seven Role” are provided as bonus roles that trigger bonus games.
As a combination of symbols corresponding to the red seven (first bonus combination), three stops in the order of “red seven, red seven, red seven” from the left reel 13L in a straight line to any of the winning lines L1 to L3 One type of symbol combination to be displayed is defined. Then, after the red seven role is determined as the winning role in the internal lottery, and the combination of symbols “Red Seven, Red Seven, Red Seven” is stopped and displayed on the winning lines L1 to L3, the red seven role A bonus game based on is started (occurred) and a “big bonus game” is given to the player. In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, in the present embodiment, the bonus game based on the red seven combination starts with the red seven combination winning, and is determined in advance regardless of the number of medals consumed (inserted) by the player. The end condition (end opportunity) is that award medals exceeding 345, which is the maximum payout number, are awarded (paid out) to the player. For this reason, the bonus game based on the red seven role represents a game state (variable game) from the winning of the red seven role until the end condition arrives (established).

  In addition, as a combination of symbols corresponding to the blue seven combination (second bonus combination), the left reel 13L is linearly arranged in any of the winning lines L1 to L3 in the order of “blue seven / blue seven / blue seven”. One type of symbol combination that is displayed in a stopped state is defined. Then, after the combination of Blue Seven, Blue Seven, and Blue Seven is stopped and displayed on the winning lines L1 to L3 after the Blue Seven role is determined as the winning combination in the internal lottery, A bonus game based on is started (occurred) and a “big bonus game” is given to the player. In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, in the present embodiment, the bonus game based on the blue seven role starts in advance when the blue seven role wins, and is determined in advance regardless of the number of medals consumed (inserted) by the player. The end condition (end opportunity) is that award medals exceeding 345, which is the maximum payout number, are awarded (paid out) to the player. Therefore, the bonus game based on the blue seven role indicates a game state (variable game) from the winning of the blue seven role until the end condition arrives (established).

  In addition, among the bonus games, a JAC game that can appear only in a bonus game based on the red seven and blue seven roles (set as a winning combination) and can continuously win a prize medal with a high probability. A JAC role (specific winning role) is provided as an opportunity to start (occur). In this embodiment, the JAC combination can appear in a bonus game based on the red seven combination (determined as a winning combination) and can appear in a bonus game based on the blue seven combination (determined as a winning combination). It is composed of two types of JAC roles for Blue Seven.

  As a symbol combination corresponding to the JAC role for Red Seven, there is one kind of symbol that is stopped and displayed in the order of “Bell / Bell / BAR” in the order of the left reel 13L on any of the winning lines L1 to L3. The combination of is determined. Then, after the JAC role for Red Seven is determined as the winning combination in the internal lottery, and the combination of symbols “Bell Bell BAR” is stopped and displayed on the winning lines L1 to L3, the JAC game JT1 When started (occurred), a “bonus JAC game” is awarded to the player. In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, the JAC game JT1, which can be generated only in the bonus game based on the red seven role in this embodiment, starts when the red seven JAC role wins, and the player consumes (injects) ) Regardless of the number of medals, the end condition (end opportunity) is that eight payouts are won or nine variable games are executed. Therefore, the JAC game JT1 that can be generated only in the bonus game based on the red seven role indicates a game state (variable game) from the winning of the red seven JAC role until the end condition arrives (established). In the present embodiment, the JAC game JT1 enters the second bonus control state.

  Also, as a symbol combination corresponding to the JAC role for Blue Seven, three symbols are stopped and displayed in the order of “Bell / Bell / Blue Seven” from the left reel 13L in a straight line to any of the winning lines L1 to L3. A combination of types of symbols is defined. Then, after the JAC role for Blue Seven is determined as the winning combination in the internal lottery and the combination of symbols “Bell Bell Blue Seven” is stopped and displayed on the winning lines L1 to L3, JAC JT2 Is started (occurred) and the “bonus JAC game” is given to the player. In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, the JAC game JT2, which can be generated only in the bonus game based on the blue seven role in this embodiment, starts when the blue seven JAC role wins, and the player consumes (injects) ) Regardless of the number of medals, the end condition (end opportunity) is that eight payouts are won or nine variable games are executed. For this reason, JAC games and JT2 that can only occur in the bonus game based on the Blue Seven role indicate the game state (variable game) from the winning of the Blue Seven JAC role until the end condition arrives (established). In the present embodiment, the JAC game JT2 is in the second bonus control state.

  In the pachi-slot 10 of the present embodiment, when the JAC game is started, it becomes easier to win the role of the bell than other winning roles, and it is possible to continuously win prize medals by continuously winning the role of the bell. it can. Therefore, in the bonus game based on the red seven role and the blue seven role in the pachi-slot 10 of the present embodiment, the JAC game is mainly started (occurred), and the award medal (mainly the bell role) is continuously generated during the JAC game. A large number of award medals are obtained. Then, the player plays a variable game for the purpose of winning the red seven role and the blue seven role (inducing a bonus game).

  In the present embodiment, the red seven role and the blue seven role (designs indicating “red seven” and “blue seven”) are the roles that trigger (start) the bonus game. The JAC role for red seven and the JAC role for blue seven are roles that trigger (start) the JAC game (in-bonus JAC game) during the bonus game (big bonus game). A bonus game (big bonus game) that is triggered by a winning combination of a red seven role and a blue seven role as a bonus role generally corresponds to a trigger that activates an accessory continuous action device. The JAC game that is triggered by winning the JAC role for Red Seven and the JAC role for Blue Seven as the JAC role generally corresponds to the trigger for operating the accessory continuous operation device. Note that the accessory continuous operation device corresponding to the bonus game based on the red seven role, the blue seven role, or the JAC game has a function of continuously operating the first type special accessory.

  Further, in the pachislot machine 10 of the present embodiment, the winning probability of the re-gamer (normal lip role, special lip role) is changed (increased, lowered, or maintained) to a predetermined winning probability, and the changed re-gamer is changed. It is equipped with a re-game role probability variation function that grants a game based on the winning probability.

  And, from the low probability state where the winning probability of the re-gamer (normal lip role, special lip role) is low, the winning probability of the re-gamer (normal lip role, special lip role) is high due to the operation of the re-game role probability variation function In the case of a high probability state that fluctuates, it is possible to obtain a profit that the scene where the medal is consumed (inserted) can be reduced by increasing the proportion of replays given with the variation of the corresponding selection probability. it can. In this way, in a normal game based on the operation of the re-gamer probability changing function, the medal held by the player by the amount that the re-game is more easily given to the player as the proportion of the re-game is given to the player increases (higher). As a result, a medal increase chance to receive a bonus combination lottery while reducing the number of scenes that consume (inject) is given.

  In such a medal increase opportunity given to the player, the higher the probability that the re-gamer is won and the higher the percentage of re-games given, the more advantageous the player and expect a large profit. It ’s an opportunity to Furthermore, in such a medal increase opportunity given to a player, the more a player who has a higher probability of winning a re-gamer is continuously given, the more advantageous a player can expect and a greater profit can be expected. Become.

  In the present embodiment, as an operation trigger of the re-gamer probability changing function, the “replay / replay / replay / replay / replay · A normal replay time game NRT3, which is a normal game during the operation of the re-gamer probability changing function, is performed when the combination of symbols by “bell” is stopped and displayed on the winning lines L1 to L3. Further, the normal replay time game NRT3 has a finite upper limit of 100 times, and from the occurrence of the normal replay time game NRT3 up to 100 variable games until the bonus combination is won. The game state is continued. Further, in the normal replay time game NRT3, the winning probability of the replaying combination is made highest in the normal game, and in particular, the winning probability of the normal lip combination is changed to be the highest. Therefore, the normal replay time game NRT3 indicates a gaming state (variable game) from when the special lip combination A is won until 100 variable games have passed or a bonus combination is won. In the present embodiment, the normal replay time game NRT3 is in the normal special control state or the disadvantageous normal special control state.

  Also, in this embodiment, as an opportunity to activate the replaying role probability changing function, a combination of symbols by “Replay Bell Bell” is stopped and displayed on the winning lines L1 to L3 when the special lip role B is won in the normal game. As a result, a normal replay time game NRT4, which is a normal game during the operation of the re-game player probability variation function, is performed. In addition, the normal replay time game NRT4 is limited to a maximum of 8000 fluctuating games that have a finite upper limit and is sufficiently higher than 100, which is the upper limit of the normal replay time game NRT3. The game state is continued. Also, in the normal replay time game NRT4, as in the normal replay time game NRT3, the winning probability of the replaying role is the highest in the normal game, and in particular, the winning probability of the normal lip role is the highest. It comes to fluctuate. Therefore, the normal replay time game NRT4 indicates a gaming state (variable game) from when the special lip role B is won until 8000 variable games have passed or a bonus combination is won. In the present embodiment, the normal replay time game NRT4 is in the normal special control state or the advantageous normal special control state.

  Further, in this embodiment, as a trigger for operating the re-gamer probability changing function, the bonus game during the operation of the re-gamer probability changing function is triggered by the winning of the JAC role for red seven in the bonus game based on the red seven role. A bonus replay time game BRT1 is performed. In addition, a bonus replay time game BRT2, which is a bonus game during the operation of the re-game role probability changing function, is performed in response to the blue game JAC role winning in the bonus game based on the blue seven. In addition, during the bonus replay time games BRT1 and BRT2, until the winning JAC role wins under the condition of a bonus game (the corresponding symbol combination is stopped on any winning line) The game state is continued. For this reason, the replay time games BRT1 and BRT2 during bonus indicate the game states (variable games) in which the respective JAC roles are carried over in the bonus games based on the red seven role and the blue seven role. In the present embodiment, the bonus replay time games BRT1 and BRT2 are in the specific control state or the bonus special control state.

  Further, in this embodiment, after the bonus replay time games BRT1 and BRT2 are started in the bonus game, each bonus game is terminated without winning the JAC role, that is, the bonus replay in the JAC role carryover state. When each bonus game is ended during the time games BRT1 and BRT2 (during the operation of the re-gamer probability changing function), the operation of the re-gamer probability changing function is continued. Then, after each bonus game is ended during the bonus replay time game BRT1 (during the operation of the re-gamer probability changing function), the normal replay time game NRT1 that becomes the normal game during the operation of the re-gamer probability changing function. Is to be done. In addition, after each bonus game is ended during the bonus replay time game BRT2 (during the operation of the re-gamer probability changing function), the normal replay time game NRT2 that becomes the normal game during the operation of the re-gamer probability changing function. Is to be done.

  In the present embodiment, during the operation of the re-game role probability changing function triggered by the winning of the JAC role for Red Seven, there are a bonus replay time game BRT1 and a normal mid-time replay time game NRT1. In addition, the normal replay time game NRT1 is granted under the condition that the re-game role probability variation function is activated after the bonus game is over, and the special game role The game state is continued until either of A or B wins and the bonus combination is won. For this reason, the normal replay time game NRT1 is the bonus replay time game BRT1 until the bonus game is completed until the bonus game is won or the special lip roles A and B are won. The game state (fluctuating game) until the game is shown. In the present embodiment, the normal replay time game NRT1 is in a specific control state or a normal medium specific control state.

  Further, in the present embodiment, during the operation of the re-game role probability changing function triggered by the winning of the JAC role for Blue Seven, there are a bonus replay time game BRT2 and a normal mid-time replay time game NRT2. In addition, the normal replay time game NRT2 is granted under the condition that the re-gamer probability variation function is activated after the bonus game is over and the JAC role for Blue Seven is elected. The game state is continued until either of A or B wins and the bonus combination is won. For this reason, the normal replay time game NRT2 means that the bonus game is completed during the bonus replay time game BRT2 and continues until the bonus combination is won, or the special lip combination A, B wins. The game state (variable game) up to is shown. In this embodiment, the normal replay time game NRT2 is in the specific control state or the normal medium specific control state.

  In the bonus replay time games BRT1 and BRT2, the bonus game is varied so that the winning probability of the re-gamer becomes the highest. Each bonus game based on the red seven role and the blue seven role is JAC games JT1, JT2, each bonus replay time game BRT1, BRT2, and a game state (fluctuating game) that is neither of these. The bonus regular games BNT1 and BNT2 (first bonus control state) are shown, and the replay time game BRT1 and BRT2 during bonus have the highest probability of winning a re-game player. Further, in each normal replay time game NRT1, NRT2, the winning probability of the re-gamer in the normal game is lower than that in the normal replay time game NRT3, NRT4, but higher than when the re-gamer probability changing function is inactive. At the same time, in particular, in the normal game, the winning probability of the special lip combination A and B is changed most highly. Further, in the normal replay time game NRT1, the winning probability of the special lip role A is changed most frequently in the normal game, while in the normal replay time game NRT2, the special lip role is particularly changed in the normal game. While the winning probability of B is lower than the winning probability of the special lip role A in the normal replay time game NRT1, it is changed to the highest, and the combined winning probability of the special lip roles A and B is changed to the highest in the normal game. It is like that. Therefore, each normal replay time game NRT1, NRT2 wins the bonus combination or until the corresponding normal replay time game NRT3, NRT4 is generated (started) by winning the special lip combination A, B Since it is continued and it is easy to win the special lip combination A and B, it is a gaming state in which the normal replay time games NRT3 and NRT4 can be generated (started) at a high rate.

  As will be described in detail later, special lip combinations A and B are not normal replay times in normal games (when the re-gamer probability variation function is inactive) and normal games NT (normal games) and normal games Since a winning probability that is not almost won in the replay time games NRT3 and NRT4 (ordinary game) is set, most of the scenes in which the normal replay time games NRT3 and NRT4 are generated (started) are in the normal replay time games NRT1 and NRT2. It becomes. In addition, the normal number of normal games NT that are not each replay time (when the re-gamer probability variation function is not in operation) has no upper limit, and the game state (variable game) until winning the bonus role is determined. Show. In the present embodiment, the normal medium game NT is in the normal control state. In addition, since the normal general game NT is almost not won the special lip combination A and B, it shows the game state (variable game) until the bonus combination is substantially won. Further, in this embodiment, even if the special lip combination A, B wins in each bonus game based on the red seven combination and the blue seven combination, the normal replay time games NRT3, NRT4 are not started. Yes.

  In the pachi-slot 10 of the present embodiment, the normal game replay time games NRT1, NRT2, and the normal game in which the winning probability of the re-game player is increased by the operation of the re-game player probability changing function in the normal game. Replay time games NRT3 and NRT4 are positioned as medals increase opportunities. When comparing the normal replay time games NRT1 and NRT2 with the normal replay time games NRT3 and NRT4, the normal replay time games NRT3 and NRT4 having a higher probability of winning the replaying player are more advantageous and large for the player. This is an opportunity to expect profits. Further, when the normal replay time game NRT3 and the normal replay time game NRT4 are compared, the normal replay time game NRT4 having a larger upper limit is more advantageous for the player and provides an opportunity to expect a large profit. In addition, when the normal replay time game NRT1 and the normal replay time game NRT2 are compared, the winning probability of the special lip role B that triggers the transition of the normal replay time game NRT4 is high, and the special lip roles A and B are combined. The normal mid-time replay time game NRT2 having a high winning probability is more advantageous for the player and provides an opportunity to expect a large profit. That is, in the pachislot 10 of the present embodiment, with respect to the normal game, the normal medium general game NT <the normal medium replay time game NRT1 <the normal medium replay time game NRT2 <the normal medium replay time game NRT3 <the normal medium replay time game NRT4, It will be an opportunity for players to be able to expect great profits.

  Of the normal medium replay time games NRT1 and NRT2 that can shift with the end of the bonus game, the normal medium replay time game NRT2 that is advantageous to the player and can be expected to have a large profit is the blue seven role. It is possible to shift only after the bonus game based on the game. For this reason, comparing the red seven role with the blue seven role, the blue seven role that grants a bonus game based on the blue seven role, which is a transition opportunity for the normal medium replay time game NRT2, is more advantageous for the player It will be an opportunity to expect. That is, in the pachi-slot 10 of the present embodiment, with respect to the bonus combination, it becomes an opportunity for the player to expect a large profit because it is advantageous to the player in the order of the red seven combination <blue seven.

  A mode in which the gaming state transitions in the pachislot 10 of the present embodiment configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 6, a transition opportunity for shifting from each gaming state to another gaming state is shown, and the gaming state of the transition destination is indicated by an arrow or a transition destination [number].

  As shown in FIG. 6, in the normal medium general game NT, when the bonus combination is won, the fact that the bonus combination is won is memorized (in a bonus combination carry-over state). It shifts to the bonus role carryover game NTa. Note that the bonus combination carry-over game NTa indicates a gaming state (variable game) which is started when the bonus combination is won and until the bonus combination based on the winning is won.

  In the bonus combination carryover game NTa, when the winning bonus combination is won, the game shifts to a bonus game corresponding to the winning combination (destination [5], [6]). Here, when the red seven role wins, the game shifts to a bonus game based on the red seven role (general game BNT1 during bonus) (transfer destination [5]), and when the blue seven role wins, the blue seven The game shifts to a bonus game based on a combination (general game BNT2 during bonus) (transfer destination [6]).

  Then, in the bonus game based on the red seven combination as the transfer destination [5], the game first shifts to the bonus medium game BNT1 with the shift to the bonus game. Further, in each bonus game which is the transfer destination [6], the game is first shifted to the bonus medium game BNT2 in accordance with the shift to the bonus game. In the bonus medium general games BNT1 and BNT2, when the bonus game end condition is satisfied, the game is shifted to the normal medium general game NT (transfer destination [1]). In addition, in each bonus general game BNT1 and BNT2, when the JAC role corresponding to the bonus game being executed is won, the JAC role carry-over state storing the fact that the JAC role is won is stored. It shifts to the bonus replay time game BRT1, BRT2 (transfer destination [3], [4]). Here, when the JAC role for red seven in the bonus game based on the red seven role is won, the game shifts to the bonus replay time game BRT1 (transfer destination [3]) and the blue seven in the bonus game based on the blue seven role. When the JAC combination for winning is won, the game shifts to the bonus replay time game BRT2 (transfer destination [4]).

  Then, in the bonus replay time games BRT1 and BRT2, which are the transfer destinations [3] and [4], the game shifts to JAC games JT1 and JT2 when the winning JAC role is won. Here, when the JAC combination for red seven wins, the process shifts to JAC game JT1, and when the JAC combination for blue seven wins, the process shifts to JAC game JT2. In each JAC game JT1, JT2, when the end condition of each JAC game is satisfied, the game shifts to a bonus medium game corresponding to the bonus game being executed (transfer destination [5], [6]). Here, when the bonus game based on the red seven role is being executed, the game shifts to the bonus general game BNT1 (transfer destination [5]), and when the bonus game based on the blue seven role is being executed. The game proceeds to the bonus general game BNT2 (transfer destination [6]). In JAC games JT1 and JT2, when the end condition of the bonus game arrives (establishes) before the end condition (establishment) of the JAC game ends, the game shifts to the normal medium general game NT (transition destination [1] ).

  In addition, in the bonus replay time games BRT1 and BRT2, when the bonus game end condition arrives (establishes), the transition is made to the normal replay time games NRT1 and NRT2 (transition destinations [3] and [4]). Here, when the bonus game end condition is reached (established) in the bonus replay time game BRT1, the game shifts to the normal replay time game NRT1 (transfer destination [3]), and the bonus replay time game BRT2 bonus. When the game end condition arrives (establishes), the game shifts to the normal replay time game NRT1 (transfer destination [4]).

  Then, in each of the normal replay time games NRT1 and NRT2, which are the transfer destinations [3] and [4], the bonus shift-over game NTa is transferred when the bonus combination is won (transfer destination [2]). . In each of the normal replay time games NRT1 and NRT2, the special lip combination A is won and the special lip combination A is won to move to the normal replay time game NRT3 (transfer destination [7]). . In each of the normal replay time games NRT1 and NRT2, the special lip combination B is won and the special lip combination B is awarded as a trigger to shift to the normal replay time game NRT4 (transfer destination [8]). Although not shown in the figure, in the normal middle general game NT which is the transition destination [1], the transition rate (the winning probability of the special lip combination A, B) is very low, but the special lip combination A, B When winning, there may be a transition to the corresponding normal replay time game NRT3, NRT4. In addition, although not shown, in the normal middle replay time games NRT3 and NRT4 which are the transition destinations [7] and [8], the transition ratio (the winning probability of special lip roles A and B) is very low. When a special lip combination A or B is won, the game may shift to a corresponding normal replay time game NRT3 or NRT4.

  Then, in each of the normal replay time games NRT3 and NRT4, which are the transfer destinations [7] and [8], the bonus shift-over game NTa is transferred when the bonus combination is won (transfer destination [2]). . Further, in each normal replay time game NRT3, NRT4, when the number of executions of the variable game by the replay time game being executed reaches the upper limit corresponding to each, the transition is made to the normal normal game NT (transition destination [1 ]).

That is, the main control CPU 40a changes the winning probabilities of various winning combinations based on the selected winning combination determination table.

  Then, the main control CPU 40a executes a role lottery based on the winning combination determination table T1 when the state information is a normal game NT. In addition, when the status information is the bonus combination carryover game NTa, the main control CPU 40a executes a combination lottery for lotteries other than the bonus combination in the winning combination determination table T1. Further, when the state information is the normal replay time game NRT1, the main control CPU 40a executes a combination lottery based on the winning combination determination table T2a. Further, when the state information is the normal replay time game NRT2, the main control CPU 40a executes the winning lottery based on the winning combination determining table T2b. Further, when the state information is the normal replay time game NRT3, the main control CPU 40a executes a combination lottery based on the winning combination determination table T3a. In addition, when the state information is the normal replay time game NRT4, the main control CPU 40a executes the winning lottery based on the winning combination determining table T3b.

  Further, the main control CPU 40a executes the role lottery based on the winning combination determination table T4a when the state information is the bonus medium game BNT1. Further, the main control CPU 40a executes a role lottery based on the winning combination determination table T4b when the state information is the bonus medium game BNT2. Further, when the state information is the bonus replay time game BRT1, the main control CPU 40a executes a winning lottery based on the winning combination determining table T5a. Further, when the state information is the bonus replay time game BRT2, the main control CPU 40a executes a winning lottery based on the winning combination determining table T5b. Further, when the state information is JAC game JT1, the main control CPU 40a executes a role lottery based on the winning combination determination table T6a. Further, when the state information is JAC game JT2, the main control CPU 40a executes a role lottery based on the winning combination determination table T6b.

  Subsequently, the main control CPU 40a determines the winning combination by referring to the acquired winning combination determining random number and the winning combination determining table corresponding to the gaming state. When determining the winning combination, the main control CPU 40a stores (sets) in the main control RAM 40c role information (such as a flag) indicating the type of the determined winning combination. When the main control CPU 40a determines the winning of the bonus combination by the lottery, the main control RAM 40c stores and holds the combination information until the bonus combination that has been determined to win is won. On the other hand, when the main control CPU 40a determines that the small role is won by the lottery, it is determined that the small role is determined at the end of one variable game regardless of whether or not the determined small role is won. The combination information shown is cleared in the main control RAM 40c. When the main control CPU 40a determines the winning of the JAC combination by the lottery, the main control RAM 40c stores and holds the combination information until the winning JAC combination is won. The main control CPU 40a, after the winning of the JAC role is determined, the bonus game ending condition arrives in a state where the winning JAC role is not stored (the role information is stored in the main control RAM 40c). In this case, the role information indicating the winning of the JAC role is cleared in the main control RAM 40c.

  In the present embodiment, the bonus combination and the JAC combination are combinations in which combination information can be carried over to a subsequent variable game until a corresponding combination of predetermined symbols is won after a winning combination is determined by a combination lottery. In addition, when a small role is won by a role lottery associated with the execution of one floating game, the small role won by the role lottery in the variable game wins a prize (award medal, replay, etc.). Regardless of whether or not, the role information cannot be carried over to the subsequent variable games.

  Then, after determining the winning combination by lot drawing, the main control CPU 40a, when the wait time has elapsed from the state in which the previous variation game ends or the variation game can be started after the power is turned on, The reels 13L, 13C, and 13R are rotated. Further, the main control CPU 40a instructs the start of the variable game substantially simultaneously, and also outputs a variable game start command indicating the lottery result of the role lottery and the game state in which the variable game is performed, to the sub control board 41 (sub control CPU 41a). Output to. In addition, in the variable game start command, when determining the winning of other small roles in the state where the bonus information of the bonus role or JAC role has been carried over, the information on the winning combination of the winning role and the other small roles is determined. As the lottery result of the role lottery.

  On the other hand, if the wait time has not elapsed after the winning combination is determined by the lottery, the main control CPU 40a puts the reels 13L, 13C, and 13R into a start waiting state. Then, after the wait time has elapsed, the main control CPU 40a cancels the start wait state and rotates the reels 13L, 13C, 13R, and sends a variable game start command to the sub control board 41 (sub control CPU 41a). Output.

  Subsequently, when the stop button 33L, 33C, 33R is operated by the player (when the player performs a stop operation), the main control CPU 40a corresponds to each of the operated stop buttons 33L, 33C, 33R. Stop control is performed to stop the reels 13L, 13C, and 13R. When a stop signal is input from the stop button 33L, the main control CPU 40a performs stop control to stop the left reel 13L corresponding to the stop button 33L. Further, when a stop signal is input from the stop button 33C, the main control CPU 40a performs stop control for stopping the middle reel 13C corresponding to the stop button 33C. Further, when a stop signal is input from the stop button 33R, the main control CPU 40a performs stop control to stop the right reel 13R corresponding to the stop button 33R. When the main control CPU 40a starts rotating the reels 13L, 13C, and 13R, the main control CPU 40a only operates the stop buttons 33L, 33C, and 33R by the player, so that the reels 13L, 13C, and 13R are operated. Perform stop control.

Next, the content of stop control of each reel 13L, 13C, 13R performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
The main control CPU 40a forces each reel 13L, 13C, within a predetermined range (maximum of 4 symbols) from the timing when each stop button 33L, 33C, 33R is operated by the player based on the determined winning combination. The stop of 13R is controlled, and any combination of symbols is stopped and displayed. When the reels 13L, 13C, and 13R that are rotating are stopped, the main control CPU 40a is used for main control based on the type of winning combination determined in the current variable game and the operation timing of the stop buttons 33L, 33C, and 33R. Stop control is performed so that a combination of symbols determined with reference to the stop table stored in the ROM 40b is formed on a valid pay line. Therefore, the reels 13L, 13C, and 13R do not always stop at the timing of the stop operation by the player of the stop buttons 33L, 33C, and 33R, but the timing of the stop operation by the player and the reels 13L, 13C, and 13R. There is a case where the stop timing does not match (so-called “slip”). When the operation timing by the player does not coincide with the stop timing of each reel, the main control CPU 40a executes control with slipping for a maximum of four symbols. In this embodiment, symbols are arranged on each reel 13L, 13C, 13R as shown in FIG. 2, and each stop table is defined based on the arrangement.

Next, the stop table when it is determined as a winning combination will be described for each winning combination together with the arrangement of symbols of the reels 13L, 13C, 13R.
First, the stop table when the bonus combination is determined as the winning combination will be described.

  The reels 13L, 13C, and 13R cannot be stopped when the stop operation timing (combination of symbols) corresponding to the bonus combination is not performed at a predetermined timing by the player (stops at the fluoroscopic window 16). The symbols are arranged so that they cannot be displayed.

  That is, on each reel 13L, 13C, 13R in the present embodiment, each symbol constituting the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus combination slips with seven symbols (three symbols stopped and displayed on the fluoroscopic window 16). 7 symbols for 4 symbols, which is the maximum number of changes due to the accompanying control), or more. In this embodiment, since the “red seven” symbol and the “blue seven” symbol are arranged one by one on each of the reels 13L, 13C, 13R, the “red seven” symbol or “ After the “Blue Seven” symbol is displayed, symbols for one lap (7 symbols or more) are displayed until the next symbol is displayed.

  Therefore, the main control CPU 40a determines the bonus combination when the combination of lottery is determined, when the stop buttons 33L, 33C, and 33R are operated, and when these operation timings are performed at a predetermined timing. Stop control is executed so as to stop the symbol corresponding to. On the other hand, when the main control CPU 40a determines the bonus combination by the combination lottery, when each stop button 33L, 33C, 33R is operated, the operation timing is not performed at a predetermined timing. The stop control is executed so as not to stop the symbol corresponding to the bonus combination. The player can win a bonus combination by operating each stop button 33L, 33C, 33R at a predetermined operation timing, while each stop button 33L, 33C, 33R is operated at a predetermined operation timing. By not operating, you can not win the bonus combination.

  Note that when the bonus combination is determined by the combination lottery, the main control CPU 40a performs control to stop either the combination of symbols corresponding to the bonus combination or the combination of symbols for missing. In addition, the main control CPU 40a preferentially wins the winning combination for which a winning combination has been determined when determining a winning combination in the winning combination lottery game NTa in which a winning combination has already been determined. The combination of symbols is stopped and displayed on the basis of the stop table corresponding to.

Next, the stop table when the JAC combination is determined as the winning combination will be described.
The reels 13L, 13C, and 13R are not stoppable if the stop operation timing (combination of symbols) corresponding to the JAC combination is not performed at a predetermined timing by the player (in the transparent window 16). The symbols are arranged so that stop display is not possible.

  That is, on the right reel 13R, the symbols corresponding to the JAC combination are divided into 7 symbols (3 symbols stopped and displayed on the fluoroscopic window 16 and 4 symbols which are the maximum number of changes by the control accompanied by the slip). 7 symbols)). In the present embodiment, since the “blue seven” symbol and the “BAR” symbol are arranged one by one on each of the reels 13L, 13C, 13R, the “blue seven” symbol and the “BAR” are displayed on the fluoroscopic window 16. After the symbol is displayed, symbols for one round (7 symbols or more) will be displayed until the next display.

  Therefore, the main control CPU 40a determines the JAC combination when the JAC combination is determined in the combination lottery, when the stop button 33R corresponding to the right reel 13R is operated, or when the operation timing is performed at a predetermined timing. Stop control is executed so as to stop the symbol corresponding to. On the other hand, if the main control CPU 40a determines the JAC combination by lot drawing, when the stop button 33R corresponding to the right reel 13R is operated, the operation timing is not performed at a predetermined timing. The stop control is executed so that the symbol corresponding to the JAC combination is not stopped. The player can win the JAC role by operating the stop button 33R among the stop buttons at a predetermined operation timing, while not operating the stop button 33R at the predetermined operation timing. It is possible to avoid winning the JAC role (avoid winning). Therefore, the player can continue the game without winning the JAC combination in a state where the JAC combination is won (the JAC combination carry-over state).

  Note that when the JAC combination is determined in the lottery drawing, the main control CPU 40a performs control to stop either the combination of symbols corresponding to the JAC combination or the combination of symbols for missing. In addition, in the bonus replay time games BRT1 and BRT2, in which the main control CPU 40a has already determined the winning of the JAC role, when determining the small role in the role lottery, the main role that has been determined to win is given priority. The combination of symbols is stopped and displayed based on the corresponding stop table so as to win. For this reason, in this embodiment, when winning a small role under the condition that the game is continued without winning the JAC role, the JAC role will be won even if the game is not performed at an operation timing that does not win the JAC role. It can be avoided. In such a case, if the operation timing of the stop operation is not the operation timing predetermined for the winning small combination, the JAC combination may be won along with the small combination not winning.

Next, the stop table when the watermelon combination is determined as the winning combination will be described.
The reels 13L, 13C, and 13R cannot be stopped when the stop operation timing (combination of symbols) corresponding to the watermelon role is not performed at a predetermined timing by the player (stopped at the see-through window 16). The symbols are arranged so that they cannot be displayed.

  That is, in each of the reels 13L, 13C, and 13R in the present embodiment, the symbols constituting the combination of symbols corresponding to the watermelon role are slipped with 7 symbols (for 3 symbols stopped and displayed on the transparent window 16). It is arranged so as to have a portion sandwiching more than 7 symbols by 4 symbols which is the maximum number of changes by control.

  Accordingly, the main control CPU 40a determines the watermelon combination when the watermelon combination is determined by the combination lottery, when the stop buttons 33L, 33C, and 33R are operated, and when these operation timings are performed at a predetermined timing. Stop control is executed so as to stop the symbol corresponding to. On the other hand, when the main control CPU 40a determines a watermelon combination in the combination lottery, when each stop button 33L, 33C, 33R is operated, the operation timing is not performed at a predetermined timing. The stop control is executed so as not to stop the symbol corresponding to the watermelon combination. The player can win a watermelon role by operating each stop button 33L, 33C, 33R at a predetermined operation timing, while each stop button 33L, 33C, 33R is operated at a predetermined operation timing. By not operating, it is possible not to win the watermelon role (avoid winning). Therefore, the player can continue the game without acquiring a prize medal even when the watermelon role is won.

Next, the stop table when the cherry combination is determined as the winning combination will be described.
On the left reel 13L, a stop table (combination of symbols) corresponding to the cherry role cannot be stopped if the timing of the stop operation by the player is not performed at a predetermined timing (stop display is not possible on the fluoroscopic window 16). The pattern is arranged like this.

  That is, on the left reel 13L, the symbols corresponding to the cherry role are divided into 7 symbols (3 symbols stopped and displayed on the fluoroscopic window 16 and 4 symbols which are the maximum number of changes by the control accompanied by slipping). 7 symbols)). In this embodiment, since one “cherry” symbol is arranged on the left reel 13L, after the “cherry” symbol is displayed on the fluoroscopic window 16, the symbol for one turn (until it is displayed next) ( 7 symbols or more) will be displayed.

  Accordingly, the main control CPU 40a determines the cherry combination when the combination of lottery is determined, the stop button 33L corresponding to the left reel 13L is operated, and the operation timing is performed at a predetermined timing. Stop control is executed so as to stop the symbol corresponding to. On the other hand, when the main control CPU 40a determines the cherry hand in the hand lottery, when the stop button 33L corresponding to the left reel 13L is operated, the operation timing is not performed at a predetermined timing. The stop control is executed so as not to stop the symbol corresponding to the cherry role. The player can win the cherry role by operating the stop button 33L at a predetermined operation timing, while not winning the cherry role by not operating the stop button 33L at the predetermined operation timing. (Avoid winnings). Therefore, the player can continue the game without acquiring a prize medal even when the cherry role is won.

Next, the stop table when the bell combination is determined as the winning combination will be described.
Each reel 13L, 13C, 13R has a stop table (combination of symbols) corresponding to the bell role, which operation timing by the player under the condition that the stop button 33L among the stop buttons is first operated. The symbol is arranged so that it can be stopped even if it is performed in (can be stopped and displayed on the fluoroscopic window 16). On the other hand, on each reel 13L, 13C, 13R, a stop table (combination of symbols) corresponding to the bell role is stopped by the player under the condition that the stop button 33L among the stop buttons is not operated first. When the timing is not performed at a predetermined timing, the symbols are arranged so that they cannot be stopped (cannot be stopped and displayed on the fluoroscopic window 16).

  That is, on the left reel 13L, the symbols corresponding to the bell role are divided into 7 symbols (3 symbols stopped and displayed on the fluoroscopic window 16 and 4 symbols which are the maximum number of changes by the control accompanied by slipping). 7 symbols) are arranged so as to sandwich 6 symbols, which is larger than 4 symbols, which is the maximum number of changes by the control with slipping. Further, in the middle reel 13C and the right reel 13R, the symbols corresponding to the bell role do not sandwich more symbols than 4 symbols (4 symbols, which is the maximum number of changes by the control with slip). Is arranged. Therefore, under the condition that the stop button 33L is operated first among the stop buttons, the symbol corresponding to the bell role is displayed on any winning line of the left reel 13L regardless of the operation timing. It can be stopped.

  On the other hand, when the stop button 33L is not operated first, for example, when the stop button 33L is operated to stop at the timing when the symbol L18 is displayed on the winning line L1 of the left reel 13L. Can stop the symbol corresponding to the bell combination (in this case, symbol L03) on the winning line L2, but it cannot be stopped on the winning lines L1 and L3.

  In the pachislot machine 10 of the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a stops the combination of symbols corresponding to the bell combination on the winning lines L1 and L2 under the condition that the stop button 33L is not operated first among the stop buttons. The stop control to be executed is executed. When the stop button 33L of the stop buttons is finally stopped and the symbol corresponding to the bell role is stopped on the winning line L1, the transparent window 16 is displayed in the manner shown in FIG. 9A. The symbol is stopped. In this case, for example, when the stop button 33L is operated at the timing when the symbol L18 or the symbol L19 is displayed on the winning line L1 of the left reel 13L, the main control CPU 40a performs the left as shown in FIG. 9B. Stop control for stopping “bell (L03), replay (L02), watermelon (L01)” in order from the upper stage of the reel 13L is executed. Further, when the stop button 33L among the stop buttons is lastly stopped and the symbol corresponding to the bell role is stopped on the pay line L2, the perspective window is displayed in the manner shown in FIG. 9C. At 16 the symbol is stopped. In this case, for example, when the stop button 33L is operated at the timing when the symbol L18 or the symbol L19 is displayed on the winning line L2 of the left reel 13L, the main control CPU 40a performs the left in the manner shown in FIG. Stop control for stopping “Replay (L20), BAR (L19), BAR (L18)” is executed in order from the upper stage of the reel 13L. In addition, when the stop button 33L of the stop buttons is lastly stopped and the symbol corresponding to the bell role is stopped on the winning line L3, the perspective window is displayed in the manner shown in FIG. 9 (e). At 16 the symbol is stopped. In this case, for example, when the stop button 33L is operated at the timing when the symbol L18 or the symbol L19 is displayed on the winning line L1 of the left reel 13L, the main control CPU 40a performs the left in the manner shown in FIG. Stop control for stopping “bell (L03), replay (L02), watermelon (L01)” in order from the top of the reel 13L is executed.

  Accordingly, when the bell combination is determined by the combination lottery, the main control CPU 40a stops to stop the symbol corresponding to the bell combination under the condition that the stop button 33L is operated first among the stop buttons. Execute control. On the other hand, under the condition that the stop button 33L is not operated first, the main control CPU 40a does not stop the symbol corresponding to the bell role when the stop operation timing of the stop button 33L is not a predetermined timing. It is configured to execute stop control. Then, the player operates the stop button 33L among the stop buttons first to make sure that the bell role is won, while the player does not operate the stop button 33L first so as not to win the bell role. (Avoid winnings). Therefore, the player can continue the game without acquiring an award medal even when winning the bell role.

  If the main control CPU 40a determines the JAC combination by lot drawing, the symbol corresponding to the right reel 13R is stopped under the condition that the stop button 33L is not operated first among the stop buttons. In addition, when the timing of the stop operation of the stop button 33L is not a predetermined timing, the stop control is executed so as not to stop the symbol corresponding to the JAC combination.

  Further, in the pachi-slot 10 of the present embodiment, when the winning of each JAC combination is to be avoided, the stop button 33R is operated at an operation timing that does not stop the corresponding symbols arranged in one place for the right reel 13R in the winning lines L1 to L3. Is going to operate. In order to avoid the winning of the cherry role, the stop button 33R is operated at an operation timing that does not stop the corresponding symbols arranged at only one place on the left reel 13L on the winning lines L1 to L3. Further, when avoiding the winning of the watermelon role, the corresponding stop arranged at a plurality of locations for any one of the reels 13L, 13C, and 13R at the operation timing that does not stop the winning lines L1 to L3. The button is to be operated. In order to avoid the winning of the role of the bell, the corresponding symbols arranged in a plurality of locations for the left reel 13L are displayed on the winning lines L1 to L3 under the condition that the stop button 33L is operated last among the stop buttons. It is assumed that the operation is performed at an operation timing that does not stop.

  For this reason, when avoiding the winning of the JAC role or the cherry role, it is only necessary to operate the stop button 33R at an operation timing at which only one of the corresponding symbols arranged in one place is not stopped on the winning lines L1 to L3. . On the other hand, when avoiding the winning of the bell role or the watermelon role, the stop button at an operation timing that does not stop the winning lines L1 to L3 at two or more corresponding symbols on the reels that can be avoided. 33L must be operated. Furthermore, when avoiding the winning of the bell role, the stop button 33L of the stop buttons is operated last, and the operation timing also changes depending on which of the winning lines L1 to L3 the corresponding symbol is stopped. I have to let it. For this reason, in the pachislot 10 of this embodiment, when avoiding a prize, the difficulty in avoiding the winning of the JAC role or the cherry role is lower than when avoiding the winning of the bell role or the watermelon role. It is supposed to be. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when avoiding a winning combination, the difficulty level when avoiding a winning combination with a JAC combination is lower than when avoiding a winning combination with a paying combination. In particular, avoiding the winning of the Bell role is more difficult than avoiding winning of other winning roles. In the present embodiment, the level of difficulty for avoiding winnings can be specified by the pressing order of stop buttons for avoiding winnings, the pressing order, or the operation timing according to the operation timing of other stop buttons. Yes, the difficulty increases when there are a plurality of these patterns or when the operation timing is difficult (the number of symbols to be aimed at is small).

Next, the stop table in the case where the replay combination of the normal lip combination and the special lip combination A and B is determined as the winning combination will be described.
Each reel 13L, 13C, 13R has a stop table (combination of symbols) corresponding to the replaying role of the normal lip role and the special lip role A, B, and the timing of the stop operation by the player is performed at the operation timing. Even in this case, the symbols are arranged so that they can be stopped (stop display is impossible on the fluoroscopic window 16).

  That is, in each of the reels 13L, 13C, and 13R in the present embodiment, each symbol constituting a combination of symbols corresponding to the replay combination of the normal lip combination and the special lip combination A and B includes four symbols (slip is accompanied). It is arranged so as not to sandwich more symbols than 4 symbols (the maximum number of changes by control).

  Therefore, the main control CPU 40a executes stop control so as to stop the corresponding symbol when the replay combination of the normal lip combination and the special lip combination A and B is determined by the combination lottery. Then, the player can win the re-game combination of the normal lip combination and the special lip combination A and B by operating at the operation timing of each of the stop buttons 33L, 33C, and 33R. In addition, when the replay combination of the normal lip combination and the special lip combination A and B is determined in the combination lottery, the main control CPU 40a corresponds to which one of the stop buttons is operated first. Stop control is executed to stop the symbol.

Next, a description will be given of a stop table in the case where a winning combination in which neither a bonus combination nor a small combination is determined as a winning combination is determined.
When the main control CPU 40a determines a winning combination by lot drawing, each of the winning lines L1 to L3 does not stop and display a combination other than the winning combination (a combination of symbols corresponding to other winning combinations). Stop control of the reels 13L, 13C, 13R is performed. For example, when the left reel 13L and the middle reel 13C are stopped and two bell symbols stop on the winning line, the main control CPU 40a stops the bell symbol, the “BAR” symbol, and the “blue” symbol on the winning line of the right reel 13R. Control so that the "Seven" symbol does not stop. In the present embodiment, when a winning combination is determined when a bonus combination or a JAC combination is already determined, the selected bonus combination or JAC combination is preferentially won. .

  Subsequently, the main control CPU 40a makes a winning determination when the combination of symbols is stopped and displayed on the winning lines L1 to L3 where all the reels 13L, 13C, and 13R are stopped and enabled. In the winning determination, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the winning combination determined internally by the winning lottery matches the combination of symbols displayed on the winning lines L1 to L3. That is, the main control CPU 40a has a combination corresponding to the combination won in the combination lottery and the combination of symbols stopped on the winning lines L1 to L3 (the combination of the symbols finally displayed on the fluoroscopic window 16). If they match, the winning determination result is affirmed and the winning combination is determined. The winning of a combination means that a prize (award medal, replay, bonus game, JAC game, replay time game) is awarded to the player as a result of the variable game. On the other hand, the main control CPU 40a does not match the winning combination in the winning lottery with the winning combination corresponding to the combination of symbols displayed on the winning lines L1 to L3 (the combination of symbols stopped in the fluoroscopic window 16). The result of the winning determination is negative, and the winning of the winning combination is not given to the player without determining the winning of the winning combination.

  The main control CPU 40a gives the player a number of award medals and awards corresponding to each payout combination when the winning combination (bell, watermelon, cherry) is determined in the winning determination. One change game is ended and the combination information stored in the main control RAM 40c is cleared. Also, when the main control CPU 40a determines that the re-game player is won in the winning determination, the main control CPU 40a gives the player a re-game and automatically bets the number corresponding to the re-game player (equivalent to the present variable game). The number of bets) is set, one fluctuation game is ended, and the combination information stored in the main control RAM 40c is cleared.

  Then, when the main control CPU 40a determines the winning of the small combination (payout combination and re-playing combination) by the winning determination, the main control CPU 40a outputs a winning instruction command indicating that the winning combination determined in the winning lottery has been won. To the control CPU 41a). By the winning instruction command, the sub control board 41 (sub control CPU 41a) recognizes that the winning combination (small role) designated by the variable game start command has won.

  Further, the main control CPU 40a executes a process related to the bonus game as will be described later when the winning combination is determined in the winning determination. When the main control CPU 40a determines the winning of the JAC combination (red seven JAC combination or blue seven JAC combination) in the winning determination, processing related to the JAC game is executed as described later. Further, when the main control CPU 40a determines that the special lip combination A or B among the re-game combination is won, the main control CPU 40a executes processing related to the normal replay time games NRT3 and NRT4 as described later. Note that the main control CPU 40a only gives the player a re-game even if the bonus game is determined to win a special lip combination A or B among the re-game combination.

Next, the flow of processing relating to each gaming state executed by the main control CPU 40a will be described. Here, a description will be given from a scene where a bonus combination is won in a normal game NT.
When the main control CPU 40a determines that the bonus combination is won in the normal general game NT and the bonus game winning is not determined in the determined variable game, the main control CPU 40a mainly displays the status information indicating that the bonus combination carry-over game NTa. It is stored (set) in the control RAM 40c, and is defined as a bonus combination carryover game NTa. When the main control CPU 40a is a normal medium general game NT, the main control CPU 40a stores (sets) state information indicating the normal medium general game NT in the main control RAM 40c, thereby setting the normal medium general game NT. . In addition, the main control CPU 40a may determine that the bonus combination is won in the normal general game NT, and the bonus combination winning is determined in the determined variable game (the established game). Then, the main control CPU 40a executes processing related to the bonus game when the bonus combination winning is determined in the winning determination in the normal medium general game NT or the bonus combination carryover game NTa.

  Subsequently, the main control CPU 40a stores (sets) in the main control RAM 40c information (state information, maximum payout number, etc.) related to the type of bonus combination to be won based on the combination information and bonus game, and sets the corresponding bonus. A game is started and a process related to the bonus game is executed. Further, the main control CPU 40a outputs a bonus start instruction command for instructing the start of the bonus game to the sub control board 41 (sub control CPU 41a). By the bonus start instruction command, the sub control board 41 (sub control CPU 41a) recognizes that the bonus combination is won and the bonus game is started.

  When starting the bonus game, the main control CPU 40a starts counting the number of counts from the next variable game after the bonus combination winning (the first variable game after the bonus game is started). When the main control CPU 40a decides to win a bonus combination, the bonus game (general bonus games BNT1, BNT2, bonus replay time games BRT1, BRT2, JAC games JT1, JT2) The number of award medals paid out to the player at the end is added to the count number. Here, for example, during the bonus game, the main control CPU 40a updates the count by adding the corresponding number of award medals every time the winning combination of the payout is determined, and the updated count is predetermined. The addition is continued until the maximum number of payouts (345 in this embodiment) is exceeded. The count is newly counted for each bonus game to be started. In the bonus game, the main control CPU 40a sets the end of the variable game in which the number of award medals (count number) paid out to the player exceeds the maximum payout amount as the end condition, and regardless of the type of gaming state, End the game. Then, the main control CPU 40a outputs a bonus end instruction command for instructing the end of the bonus game to the sub control board 41 (sub control CPU 41a). By the bonus end instruction command, the sub control board 41 (sub control CPU 41a) recognizes that the bonus game is ended.

  Further, the main control CPU 40a stores (sets) in the main control RAM 40c state information indicating that it is the bonus general game BNT1 at the start of the bonus game based on the red seven combination, and the bonus general game BNT1. To do. Further, the main control CPU 40a stores (sets) in the main control RAM 40c state information indicating that it is the bonus general game BNT2 at the start of the bonus game based on the blue seven role, To do.

  Further, when the main control CPU 40a determines that the red seven JAC role is won in the bonus general game BNT1 and does not win the variable game in which the win is determined, the main control CPU 40a indicates that the game is in the bonus replay time game BRT1. Information is stored (set) in the main control RAM 40c, and the bonus replay time game BRT1 is set. That is, the main control CPU 40a operates the re-game role probability variation function. In addition, the main control CPU 40a determines that the JAC role for blue seven is won in the bonus general game BNT2, and if it is not won in the variable game for which the win is determined, the main control CPU 40a indicates that it is a bonus replay time game BRT2. Information is stored (set) in the main control RAM 40c, and the bonus replay time game BRT2 is set. That is, the main control CPU 40a operates the re-game role probability variation function. The main control CPU 40a determines the winning of the JAC role for the red seven and the blue seven in the bonus general game BNT1, BNT2, and the red game for the blue seven and the blue seven JAC role in the determined variable game (the established game). Winning may be decided.

  Further, when the main control CPU 40a determines to win the JAC role for red seven in the bonus general game BNT1 or the bonus replay time game BRT1, the main control RAM 40c displays status information indicating that the game is JAC game JT1. Store (set) and set as JAC game JT1. That is, the main control CPU 40a stops (non-activates) the re-game role probability changing function. Further, when the main control CPU 40a determines to win the JAC role for blue seven in the bonus general game BNT2 or the bonus replay time game BRT2, the main control RAM 40c displays status information indicating that the game is JAC game JT2. Store (set) it as JAC game JT2. That is, the main control CPU 40a stops (non-activates) the re-game role probability changing function. Then, the main control CPU 40a executes a process related to the JAC game when the JAC combination winning is determined in the winning determination in the bonus medium games BNT1 and BNT2.

  Subsequently, when the main control CPU 40a determines the winning of the JAC role for the red seven and the blue seven, the type of the JAC role to be won based on the role information and information on the JAC games JT1 and JT2 (status information, JAC) The number of winning prizes, the number of times during JAC execution, etc.) are stored (set) in the main control RAM 40c, the corresponding JAC game is started, and the processing related to JAC game is executed. Further, the main control CPU 40a outputs a JAC start instruction command for instructing start of JAC games JT1 and JT2 to the sub control board 41 (sub control CPU 41a). By the JAC start instruction command, the sub control board 41 (sub control CPU 41a) recognizes that the JAC combination wins and the corresponding JAC game is started.

  Then, when starting the JAC games JT1 and JT2, the main control CPU 40a counts the number of JAC winnings and the number of executions during JAC from the next variable game after the JAC role winning (the first variable game after starting the JAC game). To start. Here, for example, every time the main control CPU 40a determines the winning of the payout combination, the JAC winning number is updated by 1 (addition), and the updated JAC winning number reaches “8 times”, or Each time the variable game by JAC games JT1 and JT2 is executed once, the number of executions during JAC is updated by 1 (addition), and the addition is continued until the number of executions during JAC after updating reaches “9 times”. Execute. Note that the number of winnings during JAC and the number of times during JAC execution are newly counted for each JAC game to be started. In the JAC games JT1 and JT2, the main control CPU 40a terminates the JAC game with the end of the variable game that has reached one of them, and the corresponding bonus medium general game BNT1 or BNT2. Is stored (set) in the main control RAM 40c. Further, the main control CPU 40a outputs a bonus end instruction command for instructing the end of JAC games JT1 and JT2 to the sub control board 41 (sub control CPU 41a). By the JAC end instruction command, the sub control board 41 (sub control CPU 41a) recognizes that the JAC game is ended. The main control CPU 40a ends the JAC game by ending the bonus game itself in the JAC games JT1 and JT2 depending on the arrival of the bonus game end condition.

  Subsequently, when ending the bonus game, the main control CPU 40a controls the game state in the normal game according to the game state when the end condition is reached. In the bonus game, the main control CPU 40a displays status information indicating that the game state is the normal medium general game NT depending on the end condition when the game state is the bonus medium general game BNT1, BNT2 or JAC game JT1, JT2. It is stored (set) in the main control RAM 40c and is set as a normal game NT. Then, the main control CPU 40a executes processing related to the normal medium general game NT when the end condition is reached when the game state is the bonus medium general game BNT1, BNT2 or the JAC game JT1, JT2.

  On the other hand, in the bonus game, the main control CPU 40a indicates state information indicating that the game condition is the normal replay time game NRT1, NRT2 depending on the arrival of the end condition when the game state is the bonus replay time game BRT1, BRT2. Is stored (set) in the main control RAM 40c, and the normal replay time games NRT1 and NRT2 are set. That is, the main control CPU 40a continues the operation of the re-gamer probability changing function. Then, the main control CPU 40a executes processing related to the normal replay time games NRT1, NRT2. Further, the main control CPU 40a outputs a normal middle replay time game NRT1, NRT2 start instruction command to instruct the start of the normal middle replay time games NRT1, NRT2 to the sub control board 41 (sub control CPU 41a). By the normal replay time game NRT1, NRT2 start instruction command, the sub control board 41 (sub control CPU 41a) recognizes that the corresponding normal replay time game is started.

  Further, the main control CPU 40a continuously executes the processes related to the normal replay time games NRT1, NRT2 until the bonus combination is won or the special lip combination A, B is won. In the pachi-slot 10 of the present embodiment, when the main control CPU 40a activates the re-game role probability variation function triggered by the winning of the JAC role in the bonus game, the JAC role wins in the bonus game, the bonus role in the normal game The operation will continue until winning or winning special lip roles A and B in normal games (winning).

  Subsequently, when the main control CPU 40a determines the winning of the special lip combination A, B, the type of the special lip combination to be awarded based on the combination information and information related to the normal replay time games NRT3, NRT4 (status information, The number of executions during the replay time is stored (set) in the main control RAM 40c, the corresponding normal replay time game is started, and the processes related to the normal replay time games NRT3 and NRT4 are executed. Further, the main control CPU 40a outputs a normal replay time game NRT3, NRT4 start instruction command to instruct the start of the normal replay time game NRT3, NRT4 to the sub control board 41 (sub control CPU 41a). Based on the normal replay time game NRT3, NRT4 start instruction command, the sub control board 41 (sub control CPU 41a) recognizes that the corresponding normal replay time game is started.

  Then, when starting the normal replay time game NRT3, NRT4, the main control CPU 40a is executed during the replay time from the next variable game of the special lip winning combination (the first variable game after the normal replay time game is started). Start counting times. Here, for example, the main control CPU 40a updates the number of executions during the replay time by 1 (addition) every time the variable game by the normal replay time game NRT3, NRT4 is executed once, and updates the replay time after the update. Continue to update the middle execution count. The number of executions during the replay time is newly counted for each normal replay time game NRT3, NRT4 to be started.

  Then, the main control CPU 40a completes the end of the variable game in which the number of executions during the replay time reaches the corresponding upper limit number (100 times or 8000 times) without winning the bonus combination in the normal replay time games NRT3 and NRT4. Upon arrival, the normal medium replay time games NRT3 and NRT4 are terminated, and the state information indicating the normal medium general game NT is stored (set) in the main control RAM 40c, and the normal medium general game NT is obtained. Then, the main control CPU 40a executes processing related to the normal medium general game NT. Further, the main control CPU 40a outputs a replay time game end instruction command for instructing the end of the normal replay time games NRT3 and NRT4 to the sub control board 41 (sub control CPU 41a). By the normal replay time game NRT3, NRT4 end instruction command, the sub control board 41 (sub control CPU 41a) recognizes that the corresponding normal replay time game is ended.

  Further, the main control CPU 40a terminates the normal replay time games NRT3 and NRT4 in the normal medium replay time games NRT3 and NRT4 and wins the bonus combination carryover game NTa. The state information shown is stored (set) in the main control RAM 40c, and is designated as a bonus combination carryover game NTa. Then, the main control CPU 40a executes processing related to the bonus combination carryover game NTa. Further, the main control CPU 40a outputs a replay time game end instruction command for instructing the end of the normal replay time games NRT3 and NRT4 to the sub control board 41 (sub control CPU 41a).

  The main control CPU 40a may determine the special lip combination A, B in the winning determination in the normal medium general game NT or the normal medium replay time game NRT3, NRT4. The middle replay time game is started and processing related to the normal middle replay time game is executed.

Next, in the pachi-slot 10 of the present embodiment, a process related to a variable game executed by the sub control CPU 41a based on the sub control program will be described.
When the variable control start command is input, the sub control CPU 41a performs control such that various effects are executed based on the winning combination and the gaming state specified in the command. Further, when the sub instruction CPU 41a inputs various instruction commands, the sub control CPU 41a performs control so as to execute various effects having contents designated by the commands. Then, the sub control CPU 41a controls the effect display control board 43 so as to cause the effect display unit 14 to perform the display effect based on the display effect pattern stored in the sub control ROM 41b. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the speaker 18 to perform the sound effect based on the sound effect pattern stored in the sub-control ROM 41b. Further, the sub control CPU 41a controls the lamp R to perform the light emission effect based on the light emission effect pattern stored in the sub control ROM 41b. The sub-control CPU 41a performs control related to various effects every time a variable game start command is input. The various effects include an effect of notifying the player of the type of the winning combination that has been won or notifying that the bonus combination has been won.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display control board 43 so as to cause the effect display unit 14 to execute the effect for the normal / general general game when the main control CPU 40a is set to the normal / general general game NT. In the effect display unit 14, the effect for the general game in the normal state is continuously executed.

  In addition, when the sub-control CPU 41a inputs a variable game start command in which the winning of bonus combination is designated, the bonus control carry-over game that notifies the main control CPU 40a as the bonus combination carry-over game NTa at a predetermined rate. The effect display control board 43 is controlled to cause the effect display unit 14 to execute the effect (bonus notification effect). In the effect display unit 14, once the effect for the bonus combination carryover game is executed, the effect is continuously executed until the bonus combination is won.

  The sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display control board 43 to cause the effect display unit 14 to execute an effect for the bonus game when the main control CPU 40a is a bonus game. Then, the sub-control CPU 41a executes an opening effect indicating that the bonus game has been started with the input of the bonus start instruction command, and then executes the bonus game effect. Further, the sub control CPU 41a continues the bonus game effect until the bonus end instruction command is input. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a executes an ending effect indicating that the bonus game is ended when the bonus end instruction command is input. In the effect display unit 14, the opening effect is executed, and the effect for the bonus game is continuously executed. In the effect display unit 14, an ending effect is executed at the end of the bonus game.

  In the pachi-slot 10 of the present embodiment, there are a JAC game effect and a bonus medium game effect as bonus game effects. Then, after executing the opening effect, the sub-control CPU 41a performs the bonus general game effect until the main control CPU 40a sets the bonus general game BNT1 or BNT2, that is, until the JAC start instruction command is input. Is executed. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a starts the JAC game effect upon input of the JAC start instruction command, and continues until the JAC end instruction command is input. Thereafter, the sub-control CPU 41a causes the bonus general game effect to be executed in response to the input of the JAC end instruction command. In the effect display unit 14, the effect for the general game during the bonus and the effect for the JAC game are continuously executed while being switched.

  In addition to the bonus game effects, the sub control CPU 41a displays an effect of displaying an image of the total number of award medals paid out in the bonus game in accordance with the count number counted by the main control CPU 40a. The effect display control board 43 is controlled so as to be executed. The sub-control CPU 41a adds the total number of payouts corresponding to the number of award medals corresponding to the designated payout combination each time a payout combination winning instruction command is input in accordance with the bonus game effect. It is supposed to be updated. In the effect display unit 14, the total payout number is updated for each payout combination in the bonus game. As a result, the player can recognize how many prize medals have been paid out after the bonus game is started, and can recognize how many other prize medals have been paid out and the end condition will come. it can.

  In addition, the sub-control CPU 41a produces an effect display so as to cause the effect display unit 14 to execute the winning combination notification effect for notifying the type of the winning combination indicated in the variable game start command together with the bonus game effect. The control board 43 is controlled. In the effect display unit 14, for example, when a JAC role is won, a combination of symbols constituting the winning JAC role is displayed as an image, and a winning role notification effect in a display mode capable of specifying the type of the JAC role is displayed. Executed. The sub-control CPU 41a executes stop control that preferentially wins the small role by the main control CPU 40a when the winning of the JAC role and other small roles is designated in the variable game start command. The winning combination notification effect corresponding to the small combination among the selected winning combinations is executed. Thereby, the player can recognize the type of winning combination won in the bonus game.

  Further, when the main control CPU 40a uses the normal replay time games NRT1 and NRT2, the sub control CPU 41a causes the effect display control board to execute effects for the normal replay time games NRT1 and NRT2. 43 is controlled. Then, the sub control CPU 41a executes the effects for the normal replay time games NRT1 and NRT2 when the normal replay time games NRT1 and NRT2 start instruction commands are input. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a continues the effect for the normal replay time games NRT1 and NRT2 until the normal replay time game NRT1 and NRT2 end instruction command is input. In the effect display unit 14, effects for the normal replay time games NRT1 and NRT2 are continuously executed.

  In addition, when the main control CPU 40a uses the normal replay time games NRT3 and NRT4, the sub control CPU 41a causes the effect display control board to execute effects for the normal replay time games NRT3 and NRT4. 43 is controlled. Then, the sub-control CPU 41a executes the effects for the normal replay time games NRT3 and NRT4 when the normal replay time game NRT3 and NRT4 start instruction command is input. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a continues the effect for the normal replay time game NRT3, NRT4 until the normal replay time game NRT3, NRT4 end instruction command is input. In the effect display unit 14, effects for the normal replay time games NRT3 and NRT4 are continuously executed.

  In addition, the sub-control CPU 41a, in addition to the effects for the normal replay time games NRT3 and NRT4, matches the number of executions during the replay time counted by the main control RAM 40c, and the variable game by the normal replay time games NRT3 and NRT4. The effect display control board 43 is controlled to cause the effect display unit 14 to execute an effect of displaying the number of digestion images. The sub-control CPU 41a is updated by adding 1 to the number of times of digestion each time a variable game start instruction command is input in accordance with the effects for the normal replay time games NRT3 and NRT4. . In the effect display unit 14, in the normal replay time games NRT3 and NRT4, the number of times of digestion is updated every time the variable game is executed. As a result, the player recognizes how much of the variation game has been executed (digested) since the start of the normal replay time games NRT3 and NRT4, and the remaining variable games of the normal replay time games NRT3 and NRT4. The number of times can be recognized.

Next, a game method in the pachislot machine 10 of the present embodiment will be described based on FIG. 10 with a focus on the game method in the bonus game.
In the pachi-slot 10 of the present embodiment configured as described above, in the bonus game, the bonus replay time games BRT1 and BRT2 are brought to an end condition for the bonus game, which is advantageous to the player and expects a large profit. It is possible to acquire normal replay time games NRT3 and NRT4.

  In the pachi-slot 10 of this embodiment, in the bonus game, a maximum of 112 (14 (x) x 8 (times)) award medals is obtained by continuously winning the bell as a payout in the JAC game. can do. In one bonus game, when a JAC game is played twice, a maximum of 224 award medals (112 (sheets) × 2 (times)) can be obtained. Therefore, for example, in the bonus game, in the state where 224 cards are acquired (after the JAC game is executed twice), 344 award medals can be obtained by winning the payout combination (10 award medals) 12 times other than the JAC game. It can be in the acquired state. At this point, the bonus game end condition can be reached by winning the payout combination once. When the JAC combination is already won, the bonus game is ended in the bonus replay time games BRT1 and BRT2. Thus, when the JAC combination is not won, the bonus game is ended except for the bonus replay time games BRT1 and BRT2.

  Also, for example, in the bonus game, when 224 cards are acquired (after JAC game is executed twice), when a JAC game is further executed, if a prize medal by a paying-out combination has been acquired once, By obtaining a maximum of 112 award medals in the third JAC game, the bonus game end condition is reached, and the bonus game is ended except for the bonus replay time games BRT1 and BRT2. For example, in the bonus game, if 224 cards are acquired (after the JAC game is executed twice), and if a JAC game is further performed, a prize medal by a payout combination has not been acquired so far. Even if a maximum of 112 award medals are obtained for the third JAC game, 336 award medals can be obtained. In the state where 336 award medals have been won (after the JAC game has been executed three times), the bonus game end condition is reached by winning the payout role once after winning the JAC role, The bonus game is terminated at the middle replay time game BRT1, BRT2. On the other hand, in this case, in a state where 336 award medals have been won (after the JAC game has been executed three times), it is necessary to avoid paying out a winning combination until winning the JAC role. It becomes.

  In the pachislot machine 10 of the present embodiment, the difficulty level is higher when avoiding the payout of the payout combination than when avoiding the JAC winning combination, so that the chances of avoiding the winning of the payout position are reduced as much as possible. Thus, it becomes an effective game method in which the bonus game is ended at the bonus replay time game BRT1, BRT2. Also, in this embodiment, it is possible to avoid paying out a winning combination in JAC games. However, since it is easier to win a winning bell role in JAC games, it is possible to avoid winning a winning bell position in every variable game. Therefore, it is an effective gaming method to win a JAC game in a scene where the bonus game ending condition does not come even if 112 maximum JAC games are acquired.

  Next, an example of an effective gaming method in the pachislot machine 10 of this embodiment will be described based on FIG. Here, it is assumed that a maximum of 112 award medals will be obtained in the JAC game.

  As shown in FIG. 10, with respect to the gaming method described here, the number of counts (total number of payouts) in the main control RAM 40c is less than “234” (“233”) under the conditions of the bonus general games BNT1 and BNT2. "Scene" or less) and the scene S2 in which the main control RAM 40c count (total number of payouts) is "234" or more. Note that the “234” count number means that the bonus game is terminated by winning a JAC game and winning a maximum of 112 award medals in a state where the count number (total payout number) is “234”. Is the number of incoming cards. That is, when the count number (total payout number) is less than “234” (“233” or less), the count number (total payout number) is “ 345 ”, which is the number at which the bonus game end condition does not arrive.

  Further, in the pachi-slot 10 of the present embodiment, the player grasps the count number of the main control RAM 40c from the total payout number of the effect display unit 14, and determines whether or not the scene S1 is based on the total payout number. Become. Further, the player grasps which JAC role is won by the winning combination notification effect of the effect display unit 14 and which payout combination is won, and wins the winning combination by the winning combination notification effect. It will be decided whether to avoid it.

First, the case of the scene S1 in the bonus game will be described.
In the bonus game, when the JAC role is won in the scene S1 (the JAC role is won), the JAC role is won. That is, in the scene S1, when the winning combination notification effect for notifying the winning of the JAC role is executed on the effect display unit 14, the JAC role is won. By doing so, the player can preferably increase the count number (total payout number).

  On the other hand, when a payout combination is won in the scene S1, the payout combination is awarded. That is, in the scene S1, when the winning combination notification effect for notifying the winning of any paying combination is executed on the effect display unit 14, the paying combination is won. By doing so, the player can preferably increase the count number (total payout number). In the case of winning the payout combination, there are times when the JAC combination is being won (winning the JAC combination), but in the winning combination notification effect, a notification regarding the payout combination is performed.

Next, the case where it is the scene S2 in the bonus game will be described.
In the bonus game, when the JAC role is being won in the scene S2 (the JAC role is won), the JAC role is not won. That is, in the scene S2, when the winning combination notification effect for notifying the winning of the JAC role is executed on the effect display unit 14, the winning is avoided without winning the JAC role. By doing so, the player can avoid the arrival of the bonus game end condition due to the execution of the JAC game.

  Further, in the bonus game, when the winning combination is won in the scene S2, the paying combination is awarded under the condition that the JAC combination is being won. That is, in the scene S2, when the winning combination notification effect for notifying the winning of the payout combination is executed on the effect display unit 14, the payout combination is awarded under the condition that the JAC combination is being won. By doing so, the player can suitably increase the count number (total payout number) while maintaining the winning of the JAC combination. Therefore, the player can preferably make the bonus game end condition arrive in a state where the winning of the JAC combination is maintained.

  On the other hand, in the bonus game, when the winning combination is won in the scene S2, the winning condition of the bonus game is not reached due to the winning of the paying combination without winning the JAC role (that is, the total number of payouts is “ The payout combination will be awarded under the condition of 335 or less. In other words, in the scene S2, when the winning combination notification effect for notifying the winning of the payout combination is executed on the effect display unit 14, the bonus game end condition is determined by winning the payout combination without winning the JAC role. The payout combination will be awarded under conditions that do not arrive. By doing so, the player can suitably increase the count number (total payout number) while waiting for the winning of the JAC combination.

  Further, in the bonus game, when winning the payout combination in the scene S2, the bonus game ending condition is reached by winning the payout combination without winning the JAC combination (that is, the total number of payouts is “336”). The payout combination will not be awarded under the condition that the number is greater than or equal to the number of sheets. In other words, in the scene S2, when the winning combination notification effect for notifying the winning of the payout combination is executed on the effect display unit 14, the bonus game end condition is determined by winning the payout combination without winning the JAC role. It is assumed that winning is avoided without letting the payout player win a prize under an incoming condition. By doing so, the player can avoid the arrival of the bonus game end condition due to the payout of the payout combination while waiting for the winning of the JAC combination.

  Thus, in the pachislot 10 of this embodiment, in the bonus game, as a result of playing the game according to the situation (count number (total payout number) and winning winning combination), it is advantageous for the player and has a large profit. You can get a chance to expect.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) In the bonus game, the game state (control state) is made different depending on whether or not the bonus game end condition arrives in the bonus replay time games BRT1 and BRT2. The bonus replay time games BRT1 and BRT2 are controlled by the normal replay time games NRT1 and NRT2 in which the winning probability of the re-gamer is higher than that of the normal medium general game NT depending on the arrival of the bonus game end condition. I made it. Therefore, in the bonus game, the player adjusts the bonus replay time games BRT1 and BRT2 when the bonus game end condition arrives to intervene with a technique (game method) for performing the game, thereby intervening the normal replay time. Games NRT1 and NRT2 can be acquired. In addition, the normal replay time games NRT1 and NRT2 are game states (control states) in which the reduction of medals can be suppressed and the bonus combination winning can be aimed at as much as it is easier to win the re-gamer than the normal medium general game NT. Yes, the game state (control state) has a higher added value for the player than the normal general game NT. Therefore, in the pachislot machine 10 that adopts a configuration in which a gaming technique is intervened during a bonus game, it is possible to sufficiently improve the interest during the bonus game by sufficiently giving consideration to the gaming technique intervention.

  (2) In the normal game, with the winning of the special lip roles A and B, it is controlled by the normal replay time games NRT3 and NRT4 in which the winning probability of the regame role is set higher than the normal replay time games NRT1 and NRT2. Configured to be possible. The normal replay time games NRT3 and NRT4 are configured such that the winning probability of the special lip combination A and B is higher than that of the normal medium general game NT. For this reason, the normal replay time games NRT1 and NRT2 are not only easy to win the regame role, but also the normal replay time game in which the winning probability of the regame role is set higher than that of the normal replay time game NRT1 and NRT2. The possibility of becoming NRT3 and NRT4 is higher than that of the normal medium general game NT, and the control state has a higher added value for the player than the normal medium general game NT. Therefore, in the pachislot machine 10 that adopts a configuration in which a gaming technique is intervened during a bonus game, it is possible to sufficiently improve the interest during the bonus game by sufficiently giving consideration to the gaming technique intervention.

  (3) The bonus combination includes a red seven combination and a blue seven combination with different combinations of symbols. In addition, the normal medium replay time game NRT3 and NRT4 are set so that the normal medium replay time game NRT3 and the chance to expect a large profit are more advantageous to the player than the normal medium replay time game NRT3. The normal replay time game NRT4 is now included. In the bonus game, the bonus replay time games BRT1 and BRT2 are controlled by the bonus replay time games BRT1 and BRT2 corresponding to the bonus combination that triggered the bonus game. did. Further, in the normal game, after the bonus game end condition arrives during the bonus replay time game BRT1, it is controlled by the normal replay time game NRT1. In the normal game, after the bonus game end condition arrives during the bonus replay time game BRT2, the winning of the special lip role B that triggers the start of the normal medium replay time game NRT4 rather than the normal medium replay time game NRT1. It is controlled by the normal replay time game NRT2 configured to increase the probability. Therefore, in the bonus game based on the blue seven role, the normal game replay time game NRT2 can be continued by continuing the regame character probability changing function even after the bonus game is ended, so that the normal game replay time game NRT4 can be obtained. The bonus is higher than the bonus game based on the red seven role, and it becomes easier to obtain a control state having a higher added value for the player than the bonus game based on the red seven role. Therefore, when a bonus combination is won, the player's interest can be attracted to which bonus combination is won, and the interest during bonus game non-occurrence (normal game) is also improved. be able to.

  (4) In the present embodiment, in the normal medium replay time game NRT2, the winning probability obtained by adding the special lip roles A and B that trigger the start of the normal medium replay time game NRT3 and NRT4 rather than the normal medium replay time game NRT1. Was configured to be higher. For this reason, in the bonus game based on the blue seven role, the normal game replay time game NRT2 is continued by continuing the regame character probability changing function even after the bonus game is ended, so that the normal game replay time games NRT3 and NRT4 The bonus game based on the red seven role is more likely to be achieved, and it becomes easier to acquire a control state having a higher added value for the player than the bonus game based on the red seven role. Therefore, when a bonus combination is won, the player's interest can be attracted to which bonus combination is won, and the interest during bonus game non-occurrence (normal game) is also improved. be able to.

  (5) In the bonus replay time games BRT1 and BRT2, when winning a winning combination other than the JAC winning combination, the combination of symbols corresponding to the other winning combination is given priority on the winning line. The stop was displayed. Therefore, in the bonus replay time games BRT1 and BRT2, the player can win another winning combination without worrying about winning the JAC combination.

  (6) In the normal replay time games NRT3 and NRT4, the longer the upper limit number (period) that can be continued, the better the chance of winning a bonus combination during the normal replay time games NRT3 and NRT4. Therefore, with regard to the normal medium replay time games NRT3 and NRT4, the level of the opportunity (the magnitude of the profit) that is advantageous by the player and can be expected to have a large profit is defined based on the number of times the game is executed. The position of the medal increase chance (game state) such that the bonus combination can be aimed at while suppressing the decrease becomes clearer. Further, in the normal replay time games NRT3 and NRT4, the upper limit is defined based on the number of times the game is executed, so that the player can surely give the player the benefits of the normal replay time games NRT3 and NRT4.

  (7) During the bonus game, the player performs a stop operation so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the JAC role is not stopped during the bonus replay time game BRT1, BRT2, so that the bonus replay time game BRT1, BRT2 Can be continued. That is, as a configuration in which a game technique is intervened during a bonus game, a player's own skill (game technique) is obtained by intervening a game technique for performing a stop operation so that a combination of symbols corresponding to the JAC role is not stopped and displayed. Compensation according to the skill level of

  (8) In addition, in the bonus general games BNT1 and BNT2, the player performs a stop operation so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the payout combination is not stopped and displayed, thereby causing the JAC without causing the bonus game to end. It is possible to wait for winning the combination and to become a bonus replay time game BRT1, BRT2. That is, as a configuration in which the game technique is intervened during the bonus game, the player's own skill (game technique) is obtained by intervening the game technique for performing the stop operation so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the payout combination is not stopped and displayed. Compensation according to the skill level of

  (9) Further, in the present embodiment, the consideration given is changed by intervening the game technique according to the situation of the bonus game. That is, in the case of the bonus replay time games BRT1 and BRT2, it is possible to preferably continue the bonus replay time games BRT1 and BRT2 by avoiding winning of the JAC combination. In addition, in the case of the bonus general games BNT1 and BNT2, it is possible to suitably achieve the bonus game end condition in the bonus replay time games BRT1 and BRT2 by avoiding the winning of the payout combination. Become. Therefore, as a configuration in which the game technique is intervened during the bonus game, the player's own skill (game technique) is obtained by intervening the game technique for performing the stop operation so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the JAC role is not stopped and displayed. Compensation according to the skill level of

  (10) Further, in this embodiment, a technique related to the operation of the stop button of the player is made to intervene as a game technique. And the player can change the consideration given by intervening the game technique according to the situation of the bonus game. For this reason, it is possible to develop a game that gives the player a sense of tension for each variable game of the bonus game, and it is possible to avoid the winning of the JAC role in the bonus game or to avoid the winning of the payout role in the bonus game. The tendency can be remarkably reflected in the scene.

  (11) The scenes that become normal replay time games NRT3 and NRT4 are mostly made through the normal replay time games NRT1 and NRT2 after the bonus game ends. For this reason, the player is given the opportunity to continuously increase the award medals by continuously giving the player a chance to be advantageous and expect a large profit. You can get a chance to increase it intensively.

In addition, you may change the said embodiment as follows.
-This embodiment generally occurs as a regular bonus game (bonus game) that generally corresponds to the first type special feature, or to win the winning of the challenge time role, and generally corresponds to the second type special feature It may be realized in a pachislot with a challenge bonus (bonus game). In this case, the normal replay time games NRT1 and NRT2 can be awarded by lottery after the regular bonus game or the challenge bonus.

  In this embodiment, for the bonus replay time game BRT1 (BRT2) and the normal replay time game NRT1 (NRT2), the winning probability of the replaying role, the normal lip role, and the winning probability of the special lip roles A and B The same winning combination determination table having the same probability and the same probability can be associated with other small combinations. In this case, the bonus replay time game BRT1 (BRT2) and the normal replay time game NRT1 (NRT2) differ only in whether or not the bonus combination is determined as the winning combination. By doing so, the bonus replay time game BRT1 (BRT2) and the normal replay time game NRT1 (NRT2) can be set as one game state. That is, the specific control state by the bonus replay time game BRT1 (BRT2) and the normal medium replay time game NRT1 (NRT2) is until the JAC combination wins (the corresponding symbol combination is stopped on the winning line). The game state can be continued.

  In the present embodiment, the configuration is changed if it is a configuration that is more advantageous to the player in the normal medium replay time game NRT4 than the normal medium replay time game NRT3 and has a high chance of expecting a large profit. You can also. For example, regarding the winning probability of the re-gamer, the winning probability of the re-gamer may be increased in the normal replay time game NRT4 than in the normal replay time game NRT3. In this way, with respect to the winning probability of the re-gamer, the chance of being able to expect a large profit is more advantageous for the player in the normal replay time game NRT4 than in the normal replay time game NRT3. In this case, even when the upper limit number of times that can be continued in the normal medium replay time game NRT3 and the normal medium replay time game NRT4 is set to the same number, the player in the normal medium replay time game NRT3 is more likely to be a player. It is advantageous for you and your chances to expect great profits will increase.

  In the present embodiment, the normal special control state may be any state that can suppress the decrease in medals held by the player or increase the medals held by the player. For example, in the normal replay time games NRT3 and NRT4, the probability of notifying (navigating) the order of pushing and operation timing to the player and the number of times of giving the first, second and third specific gaming states are different. It can also be adopted. In addition, when adopting an additional configuration that varies the profits that a player can obtain, it is possible to make a difference in the frequency of navigating, or by changing the type of winning role to navigate, so that the normal middle replay The normal replay time game NRT4 may be more advantageous to the player than the time game NRT3, and the chance of expecting a large profit may be increased. In this case, a special payout combination such as “Red Seven Bell Bell” or “Blue Seven Bell Bell” that cannot be stopped depending on the player's operation timing is set, and the normal replay time is set In the games NRT3 and NRT4, the player is notified which of these specific payouts is won.

  In the present embodiment, the normal replay time games NRT3 and NRT4 may be configured to end by winning a specific winning combination without setting an upper limit number of times. In this case, by reducing the rate of winning a specific winning combination in the normal replay time game NRT4 (winning probability or the rate at which the winning line is stopped) than the normal replay time game NRT3, You may increase your chances of being profitable and expecting big profits.

  In the present embodiment, in the bonus game, when another payout combination is won in a state where the JAC combination is won, stop control that preferentially wins the JAC combination may be performed. In this case, in the winning combination notification effect in the bonus game, all of the winning combinations that have been won can be notified, or only the winning of the JAC combination can be notified.

In the present embodiment, in the bonus game, when another payout combination is won in a state where the JAC combination is won, stop control that does not allow the JAC combination to be won may be performed.
-In this embodiment, you may set the same chance that a red seven role and a blue seven role are advantageous for a player and can anticipate a big profit. In this case, when the bonus game is ended at the bonus replay time games BRT1 and BRT2, it can be determined by random number lottery which of the normal replay time games NRT1 and NRT2 is set. .

  In the present embodiment, when the bonus game is started, when the bonus game is ended in the bonus replay time game BRT1 or BRT2, which of the normal replay time games NRT1 or NRT2 is to be played is selected by random number lottery It can also be determined in advance. In this case, it is advantageous for the player with the red seven role and the blue seven role, and it is advantageous for the player by making the probability of being one of the normal middle replay time games NRT1, NRT2 different between the red seven role and the blue seven role. You can also set the level of chance that you can expect.

  In the present embodiment, the normal replay time game that is triggered by the special lip winning combination can be one type. In addition, three or more types of normal replay time games can be provided with a special lip winning combination as a starting opportunity. In this case, it is preferable to change the type of the special lip combination in accordance with the type of the normal replay time game starting with the winning of the special lip combination.

  In the present embodiment, a configuration may be adopted in which which of the normal medium replay time games NRT3 and NRT4 is determined by random lottery depending on the special lip winning combination. In this case, it is preferable that the normal medium replay time game NRT4 is more easily determined by the normal medium replay time game NRT2 than the normal medium replay time game NRT1.

In the present embodiment, at least the normal replay time games NRT1 and NRT2 may be provided as normal games.

The normal replay time games NRT1 and NRT2 may be terminated by winning a specific winning combination.

  In the present embodiment, the normal replay time games NRT1 and NRT2 may be any configuration that is more advantageous to the player than the normal medium general game NT, and other specifications can be changed. For example, the winning probabilities of the special lip roles A and B in the normal medium replay time games NRT1 and NRT2 can be set to be substantially the same as those in the normal medium general game NT.

  In the present embodiment, it is also possible to execute a variable game a predetermined number of times as a bonus game end condition. In this case, it can be advantageous for the player to adjust the game so that the replay time game BRT1 or BRT2 during the bonus game is reached when the variable game by the bonus game reaches the specified number of times.

  In the present embodiment, the winning combination notification effect can be executed together with the effect display unit 14, the speaker 18, and the lamp R, or any one of the speaker 18 and the lamp R can be executed.

  -In this embodiment, it is good also as a structure which determines whether to perform a winning combination alerting | reporting effect depending on whether the navigation point which determines performing a winning combination alerting | reporting effect is acquired. That is, when the navigation point is not acquired, not only the winning of the JAC role is not notified but also the winning of the payout role is not notified, so that the type of the winning combination that is won in the variable game in the bonus game can be determined. You can play games while predicting. In this case, with regard to the navigation point, it is possible to have a game characteristic such that the player can be obtained by avoiding winning of the JAC role when the JAC role is won or during the JAC role. In addition, the navigation points can be obtained by random lottery at a predetermined timing (when winning a bonus combination, at the start of a bonus game, during a bonus game, etc.).

  In the present embodiment, a JAC combination that does not contribute to the start of the normal replay time games NRT1 and NRT2, such as the bonus replay time games BRT1 and BRT2, may be provided.

  -In this embodiment, what is necessary is just the structure which can avoid a prize regarding a JAC combination and a payout combination, and you may change the arrangement | sequence of each reel 13L, 13C, 13R.
