Specifically, for example, in the fifth game in the bonus game, when the start switch 33 is operated, the display control means 160 displays predetermined information on each of the left, middle, and right display surfaces 55a. After that, for example, in the eighth game in the bonus game, when the start switch 33 is operated, the rotation order of the rotating reels 45 is determined by lottery by the driving order determining means 150, and the special game transition determining means 210 is determined. Thus, whether or not to shift to the special game is determined, and according to the rotation start order determined by the lottery by the drive order determination means 150, the rotation of each rotary reel 45 is sequentially started by the time difference drive control means 170. can do.

In this case, predetermined information displayed on each of the three display surfaces 55a on the left, middle, and right by the display control means 160 is determined by lottery by the drive order determination means 150 by the rotation start order of each rotary reel 45. It can be changed before it is done.
For example, the display data selection means 200 is formed so that the determined display data can be changed and determined by another lottery at a predetermined opportunity.
The display control means 160 displays the display data related to the predetermined information respectively displayed on the left, middle, and right display surfaces 55a, that is, the left, middle, and right determined by the lottery by the display data selection means 200. One or a plurality of display data to be displayed on each of the three display surfaces 55a on the right is, for example, the sixth game in the bonus game, and the display data selection means is triggered by the operation of the start switch 33. It is determined to be changed by the lottery again by 200, and then changed by the display control means 160 by the lottery by the display data selecting means 200 again by the operation of the start switch 33 in the seventh game, for example, in the bonus game. Based on the displayed data, predetermined information is changed and displayed on each of the left, middle, and right display surfaces 55a, and then, for example, in the eighth game in the bonus game In the game, when the start switch 33 is operated, the rotation order of each rotary reel 45 is determined by lottery by the driving order determining means 150, and whether or not to shift to the special game by the special game transition determining means 210 is determined. According to the rotation start order determined and determined by the lottery by the drive order determination means 150, the rotation of each rotary reel 45 can be started sequentially by the time difference drive control means 170.

At this time, in the lottery performed again by the display data selection means 200, the hit display data having the highest degree of advantage (for example, display data related to the information indicating that the transition to the super AT) or the lost display data is displayed. It is possible to increase the probability that either one of the hit display data or the lost display data is determined, or the hit display data of the aspect with the highest degree of advantage is determined.
Further, at this time, the player can select whether or not to perform the lottery again by the display data selection means 200. For example, in the above-described case, in the sixth game in the bonus game, the bet switch 32 is enabled after the start of rotation of the rotating reel 45 and before the winning determination by the winning determination means 120 is performed. When the operation of the switch 32 is performed, the display data selection unit 200 can perform lottery again.

  Further, at this time, it is possible to allow the player to select whether or not to perform the lottery again by the display data selection means 200 in a specific case. For example, in the above-described case, the lottery is performed again in response to the operation of the bet switch 32 in the BB game. However, in the RB game, the bet switch 32 is not effective and the player is not given another chance of the lottery. can do. Further, for example, in the above case, after the rotation of the rotary reel 45 is started on the condition that a specific combination is won in the sixth game in the bonus game, the winning determination by the winning determination means 120 is not performed. During this period, the bet switch 32 is enabled, and the lottery is again performed by the display data selection means 200, triggered by the operation of the bet switch 32 during this period.

The display data selection means 200 determines the display data by lottery after the lottery result of the combination lottery means 110 becomes a bonus winning (BB winning or RB winning), and then the display control means 160 applies each display surface 55a. Any time before the predetermined information is displayed may be used. For example, when the lottery result of the winning lottery means 110 is a bonus winning (BB winning or RB winning), for example, in the first (first) game in the bonus game, a medal bet or start switch 33 The display data may be determined by lottery in response to the above operation.
Further, the timing at which the display control means 160 displays the predetermined information on each display surface 55a is determined by rotating the rotation reels 45 by the time difference drive control means 170 after the display data selection means 200 determines the display data by lottery. As long as it is in between before starting sequentially. For example, in the first (first) game in the bonus game, when the winning determination is made by the winning determination means 120 or the medal is paid out by the game control means 60, each display surface 55a is displayed. Each may display predetermined information.

The timing at which the drive order determining means 150 determines the rotation start order of each rotary reel 45 by lottery is any time as long as it is before the rotation of each rotary reel 45 is sequentially started by the time difference drive control means 170. . For example, it may be the same as the timing at which the display data selection means 200 determines the display data by lottery. Specifically, in the first (first) game in the bonus game, the display data is determined by lottery when the start switch 33 is operated, and the rotation start order of each rotary reel 45 is determined by lottery. May be.
Further, in the above embodiment, the drive order determining means 150 determines the rotation start order of the rotary reels 45 in response to the operation of the start switch 33 in the second game in the bonus game, and the time difference drive control means 170 In the second game, the rotary reels 45 are sequentially rotated according to the determined rotation start order, but the present invention is not limited to this. The determination of the rotation start order of the rotary reels 45 by the drive order determining means 150 and the sequential rotation of the rotary reels 45 by the time difference drive control means 170 may be separated by a predetermined number of games. In this case, the player is notified of the opportunity for determining the rotation start order of the rotary reels 45 by the drive order determining means 150 and the opportunity for the sequential rotation of the rotary reels 45 by the time difference drive control means 170. It may be.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the special game transition determining means 210, when the display data corresponding to the rotating reel 45 that starts rotating first (first) is the hit display data of any aspect, Although it was decided to shift to the special game corresponding to the hit display data, it is not limited to this, and the display corresponding to the rotating reel 45 starting to rotate second or third (last) When the data is hit display data of any aspect, it may be determined to shift to a special game corresponding to the hit display data. In this case, the player is notified that the presence or absence of the transition to the special game is notified by the display on the display surface 55a corresponding to the rotating reel 45 that starts rotating second or third (last). May be.

In the above embodiment, the drive order determining means 150 is provided in the game control device 21, the display data selection means 200 is provided in the effect control device 22, and the display data and the rotation start order of each rotary reel 45 are: Although it is determined by separate lottery, it is not limited to this, and may be determined by one lottery. For example, the display data selection means 200 and the drive order determination means 150 may determine the display data and the rotation start order independently of each other for the random value extracted in one lottery. .
In addition, the time difference drive control unit 170 starts rotation of the rotary reel 45 that is determined to start rotation first by lottery by the drive order determination unit 150, for example, and then rotates that is determined to start rotation second. You may make it start rotation simultaneously with the reel 45 and the rotation reel 45 determined to start the rotation third.

Further, the time difference drive control means 170 may perform, for example, a “preliminary presentation operation (turning operation)”, then a “main presentation operation”, and then a “normal operation”. The “presentation operation” may be performed without performing the “preliminary effect operation”, and then the “normal operation” may be performed.
Here, the “preliminary performance operation” refers to an operation that is an operation of each rotary reel 45 and is not related to notification of the presence or absence of the transition to the advantageous game. An operation as an effect of each rotary reel 45 and an operation related to notification of the presence or absence of transition to an advantageous game. “Normal operation” means that all the rotary reels 45 are moved in the normal direction (forward direction). An operation that rotates at a normal speed.

  In this case, the driving order determining means 150 determines the order in which the “actual effects operation” of each rotating reel 45 starts by lottery, and the advantageous game transition determining means (special game transition determining means 210) The correspondence relationship between the data and the order in which the “real effect operation” of each rotary reel 45 starts is determined, and it is determined that the “real effect operation” is started at the mth (n ≧ m ≧ 1, for example, m = 1). When the display data corresponding to the rotating reel 45 is the hit display data, it is decided to shift to the advantageous game (special game), and the time difference drive control means 170 is displayed by the display control means 160. At a predetermined time after the display of the predetermined information on the unit 55, the “real effect operation” of each rotary reel 45 is sequentially started according to the order determined by the lottery by the drive order determining means 150. That is, the order in which the “actual production operations” of the rotary reels 45 correspond to the rotation start order in the first embodiment.

Then, from the viewpoint of the player, the information displayed on the display surface 55a corresponding to the rotating reel 45 that has started the m-th “actual production operation” is information indicating whether or not there is a shift to the advantageous game (special game). It will be understood that there is.
Then, when the “normal operation” is entered after the production performance operation, the operation of each stop switch 34 is enabled, that is, the state is “stoppable”. At this time, if any one of the stop switches 34 is operated, The rotation of the rotary reel 45 corresponding to the switch 34 is stopped.
In addition, the time difference drive control means 170 may, for example, (1) swing all or part of the plurality of rotating reels 45 up and down as “preliminary effect operation”, and (2) the plurality of rotating reels 45. (3) All of the plurality of rotating reels 45 are rotated in a normal direction (positive direction) at a speed different from the normal speed (lower speed than normal speed or higher speed than normal speed). Or, a part (in some cases, at least two or more) is rotated at different speeds in the normal direction. (4) All or a part of the plurality of rotating reels 45 is rotated in the opposite direction (reverse) Rotation at any speed in the direction) can be performed.

  Further, the time difference drive control means 170 performs, for example, (1) from the state in which the rotation of each rotary reel 45 is stopped in the normal direction according to the order determined by the lottery by the drive order determination means 150 as the “actual effect operation”. (Forward direction) and "sequential start" of rotation at normal speed. (2) Rotation at any speed in the opposite direction (reverse direction) from the normal state when rotation of each reel 45 is stopped. "Sequential start (sequential reverse rotation)", (3) In the pre-production effect, each rotary reel 45 has already rotated in a normal direction at a speed different from normal (slower than normal or higher than normal). In this case, without stopping the rotation, “sequential change (sequential acceleration or sequential deceleration)” is performed to the rotation in the normal direction and at the normal speed. At either speed in the opposite direction ”Sequential change (sequential reversal)” in the normal direction and rotation at the normal speed, and (5) each rotation reel 45 in any direction at any speed (6) If each reel 45 has already been rotated at any speed in any direction in the pre-production effect, An operation such as “sequential rotation (sequential reversal)” at any speed in a direction opposite to the rotation direction can be performed.

In addition, the combination of each “preliminary presentation operation” and each “main presentation operation” can be performed as appropriate, and the combination of a plurality of “preliminary presentation operations” can also be performed as appropriate. .
In addition, as the “presentation operation”, as shown in the above (1), the rotation in the normal direction and the normal speed is started, or as shown in the above (3) and (4), There is a case where the rotation is changed to a normal direction and a normal speed. In this case, the “presentation operation” and the “normal operation” are performed integrally and continuously.
Hereinafter, an operation pattern of each rotary reel 45 by the time difference drive control means 170 will be shown.

Specifically, the time difference drive control means 170 is determined by lottery by the drive order determination means 150 as the “preliminary effect operation”, for example, by shaking each rotary reel 45 up and down, and then as the “real effect operation”. In accordance with the order, the rotation of each rotary reel 45 in the normal direction and at the normal speed can be “sequentially started”, and thereafter, can be shifted to “normal operation” in an integrated and continuous manner with this production operation. it can.
In addition, the time difference drive control means 170, for example, as a “preliminary effect operation”, only some of the rotating reels 45 are shaken up and down, and the rotating reels 45 are turned as if starting to rotate, Thereafter, as the “actual production operation”, the rotation of each rotary reel 45 in the normal direction and at the normal speed is “sequentially started” in accordance with the order determined by the lottery by the drive order determining means 150. It is possible to shift to “normal operation” integrally and continuously with the operation.

Further, the time difference drive control means 170, for example, rotates each reel 45 in a normal direction at a lower speed than normal as a “preliminary effect operation”, and then, from this low-speed rotation state, as a “main effect operation” In accordance with the order determined by the lottery by the drive order determining means 150, the rotation of each rotary reel 45 is “sequentially changed (sequential acceleration)” to the rotation in the normal direction and at the normal speed, It is possible to shift to “normal operation” integrally or continuously.
Further, the time difference drive control means 170, for example, rotates each rotating reel 45 at a different speed in the normal direction as a “preliminary effect operation”, and then performs each normal rotation reel 45 as a “preliminary effect operation”. Rotate the reel 45 in the normal direction and at the normal speed according to the order determined by the lottery by the drive order determining means 150 as the “actual production operation”. The rotation at “Sequential change (sequential reversal)” can then be shifted to “Normal operation” integrally and continuously with the main performance operation.

Further, the time difference drive control means 170, for example, rotates each reel 45 at any speed in the direction opposite to the normal as the “preliminary effect operation”, and then as the “real effect operation”, the drive order determination means According to the order determined in the lottery by 150, the rotation is “sequentially stopped”, and thereafter, each rotary reel 45 can be rotated in a normal direction at a normal speed as “normal operation”.
Also, the time difference drive control means 170, for example, as the “preliminary effect operation”, rotates each rotary reel 45 at a different speed in the normal direction, and then as the “real effect operation”, the lottery by the drive order determination means 150 According to the order determined in step 1, the rotation of each rotating reel 45 in the direction opposite to the normal direction is “sequentially started (sequentially reversed)”, and then each “revolving reel 45” is operated at a normal speed in the normal direction as “normal operation”. Can be rotated.

Further, the time difference drive control means 170, for example, as “main effect operation” without performing the “preliminary effect operation”, is contrary to the normal state of each rotary reel 45 in accordance with the order determined by the lottery by the drive order determining means 150. Rotation in the direction can be “sequentially started (sequentially reversed)”, and then each “reel” 45 can be rotated in a normal direction at a normal speed as “normal operation”.
As for the rotation direction of each rotary reel 45, the normal direction (forward direction) is clockwise (clockwise) when viewed from the left side toward the front of the gaming machine, and counterclockwise when viewed from the right side (counterclockwise). ) And the opposite direction (reverse direction) means counterclockwise (counterclockwise) when viewed from the left toward the front of the gaming machine, and clockwise (clockwise) when viewed from the right Is.

  Further, for example, the display control means 160 displays “left → middle → right” = “WIN”, “middle → right → left” = “LOSE”, “right → middle → left” = “SUPER WIN” on the display surface 55a. ”, A plurality of pieces of information in which the rotation start order of each rotary reel 45 is associated with information indicating the presence or absence of transition to a special game, and these correspondence relationships are different, Whether or not to shift to the advantageous game (special game) can be determined and notified to the player based on the information corresponding to the rotation start order in which the rotation of the rotary reel 45 is started. In the above-described embodiment, the rotation start order of each reel 45 is “left → middle → right” “left → right → middle” “middle → left → right” “middle → right → left” “right → left → There are six types of “middle”, “right → middle → left”, and there are three types of information indicating the presence / absence of transition to advantageous games (special games), “LOSE”, “WIN”, and “SUPER WIN”. You can select and combine them. Even if it does in this way, the effect | action and effect similar to the said embodiment are acquired.
