Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine capable of producing a turning effect by a rotating reel.

  Conventionally, as this type of gaming machine, a slot machine that performs a game in which a plurality of rotating reels are rotated and then stopped by a stop switch is generally known. In this slot machine, a plurality of symbols are arranged around each rotary reel, and a part of the front side of the symbols arranged on each rotary reel is visible through a symbol display window. Then, when the player inserts a medal and operates the start switch, each rotating reel starts rotating, and after each rotating reel starts rotating, the player operates the stop switch to operate each rotation. The reel stops. In addition, inside the slot machine, in principle, lottery is performed on the condition that the medal is inserted and the start switch is operated. As a result of the lottery, a predetermined combination is won (a winning flag is established), and A predetermined number of medals can be paid out or a special game advantageous to the player can be made on condition that the symbol of the winning combination is stopped and displayed on a preset active line. Etc. are granted. Then, in order to enhance the fun of the game, in response to the result of the lottery through a liquid crystal display device, a number of lamps, a notification means such as a speaker, etc. Various effects by sound and light are performed.

  Here, in recent years, as such an effect, from the start switch operation until the rotation reel reaches a predetermined rotation speed and the stop switch can be pressed, an effect by changing the rotation speed of the rotation reel, etc. Various so-called spinning effects have been studied. Specifically, for example, a predetermined pattern is arranged in parallel until the rotation of the rotary reel starts and the pressing operation of the stop switch becomes possible, and thereafter, a steady rotation is performed. (For example, Patent Document 1).

In addition, the medal bet includes a bet by inserting a medal from the medal insertion slot 18 and a bet of credited medal by operating the bet switch 16. In the re-game, the same number of medals as the bet in the previous game are automatically bet. In addition, the game can be started on the condition that a bet of three medals is operated. When the start switch 30 is operated, a winning lottery of winning or losing a plurality of winning combinations is performed and All the rotating reels 40 start to rotate. After that, when the rotation of all three rotary reels 40 reaches a predetermined steady rotation speed and the regular rotation starts, all the three stop switches 50 are enabled, and the operation of the stop switch 50 is enabled. When one of the three stop switches 50 is operated, the rotation of the rotary reel 40 corresponding to the stop switch 50 is stopped. When all the three stop switches 50 have been operated, the rotation of all three rotary reels 40 is stopped. At this time, if a combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination in the winning combination lottery is displayed on any active line, the number of medals corresponding to the winning combination can be obtained. The acquired medals are credited, and when the number of credits reaches the upper limit value, the storage / dispensing means 65 is driven, and the amount exceeding the upper limit value is paid out from the payout port 32. In addition, a predetermined profit may be given to the player instead of the medal acquisition or along with the medal acquisition.

Here, the combination of a predetermined symbol combination on the active line is stopped and displayed on the active line, and the small combination on which the medal is paid out and the predetermined symbol combination on the active line is stopped and displayed on the medal. The combination of a replay that can be played again under the same conditions as the previous game without inserting a new medal, and a combination of predetermined symbols on the active line is stopped and displayed. There is a bonus role that does not pay out but shifts to special games.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, the small role includes a plum role, a bell role, a cherry role, an advantageous game transition role, a so-called 3 choice role (3 choice blue 7 role, 3 choice role white). 7 roles, 3 choice roles 7 roles). For example, among the role of plum, the role of bell, and the role of cherry, the role of plum is constituted by a combination of symbols of “plum”, “plum” and “plum”, and for example, the role of cherry is “cherry” “ANY” “ANY” ”(“ ANY ”means any symbol may be used). Then, the combination of symbols constituting the winning combination is stopped and displayed on one of the active lines, whereby a predetermined number of medals corresponding to the winning combination are paid out. For example, a combination of symbols “bell”, “bell”, and “bell” is stopped and displayed on one of the active lines, so that a predetermined number (for example, 15) of medals according to the bell combination is paid out.

  In addition, the advantageous game transition combination is determined to shift to the advantageous game described later by winning the combination by the combination lottery by the combination lottery means 110 described later, and a combination of predetermined symbols on the active line is determined. The medal is paid out by the stop display. As shown in FIG. 6, the advantageous game transition combination is constituted by a combination of symbols of “red 7”, “replay”, and “replay”. The replay symbol consists of a capital letter R in a double circle. Then, by winning the winning combination by winning the winning lottery by the winning lottery means 110, it is determined to shift to the advantageous game, and the combination of symbols is stopped and displayed on the active line. Nine) medals are paid out. The advantageous game transition combination is a combination that is drawn by lottery only during the big bonus game described later.

Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the re-game player is constituted by a combination of symbols of “replay”, “replay”, and “replay”. Then, the combination of symbols is stopped and displayed on any active line, so that the game can be played again under the same conditions as the previous game without newly inserting medals.
Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the bonus combination includes a BB combination and an RB combination. The BB combination is configured by a combination of symbols of “red 7”, “red 7”, and “red 7”. Then, when the symbol combination is stopped and displayed on the active line, the game proceeds to a big bonus game described later. The RB combination is configured by a combination of symbols “BAR”, “BAR”, and “BAR”. Then, when the symbol combination is stopped and displayed on the active line, the game proceeds to a regular bonus game described later.

In this embodiment, the bonus combination is shifted to a special game without paying out medals. However, after a predetermined number (for example, 15) of medals has been paid out, the bonus combination is shifted to a special game. You may set to do.
(Special game control means 80)
The special game means a game that is more advantageous to the player than the normal game, and the special game control means 80 controls the special game.
Special games include a big bonus game (BB game) and a regular bonus game (RB game). A BB game is a game in which a game having a predetermined winning combination winning probability higher than that of a normal game can be executed a plurality of times, and is ended by paying out a predetermined number of medals (for example, 369). In addition, the RB game is a game that can execute a game having a higher probability of winning a predetermined role than a normal game a plurality of times, as in the BB game, and has a predetermined number (for example, 99) of medals less than the BB game. It is a game that ends by paying out.

In the present embodiment, the special game control means 80 has a payout number counter that counts the payout number of medals in the special game (BB game and RB game).
Specifically, in the normal game, when winning the BB role by winning a lottery, a combination of symbols of “Red 7”, “Red 7”, and “Red 7” corresponding to the BB role is won on any active line. When the combination of symbols “Red 7”, “Red 7”, and “Red 7” is complete and displayed in a stopped state, the game shifts to the BB game.
When the game shifts to the BB game, the probability of winning a predetermined role in the role lottery becomes higher than that in the normal game, and the game can be started by betting with two medals. As shown in FIG. Only line. When a combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination is stopped and displayed on the active line, a predetermined number of medals corresponding to the combination are paid out and the number of medals paid out by the payout number counter is counted. Is done.

Then, when the cumulative payout number of medals in the BB game reaches a predetermined number (for example, 369), the BB game ends and the game shifts to a normal game or an advantageous game described later.
Also, in a normal game, when the RB role is won by the role lottery, a combination of symbols “BAR”, “BAR”, and “BAR” corresponding to the RB role can be arranged on any active line. When the combination of symbols “BAR” and “BAR” are aligned and stopped, the RB game is entered.
When shifting to the RB game, a game similar to the BB game is performed. When a combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination is stopped and displayed on the active line, a predetermined number of medals corresponding to the combination are paid out and the number of medals paid out by the payout number counter is counted. Is done.

Then, when the cumulative payout number of medals in the RB game reaches a predetermined number (for example, 99), the RB game is ended and the game shifts to a normal game.
In the present embodiment, the special game (BB game and RB game) ends when a predetermined number of medals are paid out, but other conditions (for example, the number of games) are set as the special game end condition. You can also
Further, the counting by the payout number counter may be a count-up method or a count-down method.
(Role lottery 110)
The role lottery means 110 performs a lottery for winning or losing a plurality of roles in response to the operation of the start switch 30. The role lottery means 110 includes a random number generation means, a random number extraction means, a role lottery table, and a determination means.

The random number generation means generates a random number for lottery within a predetermined range (for example, 0 to 65535 in decimal number). The random number extraction means extracts the random number generated by the random number generation means at a predetermined opportunity (for example, operation of the start switch 30). Since the random number generating means is constituted by a counter circuit or the like, the numerical value generated by the random number generating means is not strictly a random number. However, since the timing at which the start switch 30 is operated is considered to be random, the numerical value extracted by the random number extraction means can be practically handled as a random number.
In addition, the combination lottery table predefines whether each of the random numbers within the range generated by the random number generation means is won or lost in any of a plurality of combinations. In the present embodiment, the role lottery tables include a general role lottery table used in normal games and advantageous games described later, and a special role lottery table used in BB games and RB games. In those lottery tables, a winning area and a lost area are set. Note that, as the winning area, in addition to the single winning area where only one combination is won, an overlapping winning area where a plurality of winning combinations are simultaneously won can be set. (In the case where such a duplicate winning area is set, if a plurality of winning combinations are won in the winning lottery by the winning lottery means 110, winning flags corresponding to each of the winning combinations are established. If the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination in the winning lottery is stopped and displayed on one of the active lines while this flag is established, the player will receive a medal or special game profit. Is granted.)
In addition, the determination unit compares the random number extracted by the random number extraction unit with the combination lottery table and determines whether one of the plurality of combinations is won or lost. Specifically, when the determination means determines whether one of a plurality of winning combinations is won or lost, the determining means appropriately uses a winning lottery table corresponding to the gaming state at that time. It has become.

Then, when any of the winning combinations is won by the winning lottery means 110, a winning flag corresponding to the winning combination is established.
Here, in the winning flag, the winning combination flag (plum winning flag, bell winning flag, cherry winning flag, 3 winning combination blue 7) that is established when the result of the lottery by the winning lottery means 110 is the winning of the small role. Winning flag, 3 option white 7 winning flag, 3 option red 7 winning flag, and advantageous game transition winning flag) and the result of the lottery by the winning lottery means 110 is a re-game winning There are a game winning flag and a bonus winning flag (BB winning flag and RB winning flag) which is established when the result of the lottery by the winning lottery means 110 is winning of a bonus winning combination.

Although the small role winning flag and the re-game winning flag are valid only in the established game, the bonus winning flag can be carried over to the next game and corresponds to the winning bonus combination. The combination of symbols is erased by stopping and displaying on one of the effective lines.
(Circulation effect lottery means 120)
The reeling effect lottery means 120 performs a lottery on whether or not to execute the spinning effect by the rotary reel 40 when the start switch 30 is operated. The spinning effect lottery means 120 includes a random number generation means, a random number extraction means, a spinning effect lottery table, and a determination means. The random number generation means and the random number extraction means are the same as the role lottery means 110. The rotation effect lottery table is a table in which whether or not the rotation effect is executed is determined in advance for each random number within the range generated by the random number generation means. In addition, the determination unit compares the random number extracted by the random number extraction unit with the rotation effect lottery table, and determines whether it is a win or a loss for executing the rotation effect.

  In the present embodiment, the lottery effect lottery means 120 performs lottery so that the stop effect control means 300 can perform the reeling effect in a predetermined case during a normal game. Only when the lottery effect lottery means 120 wins the lottery effect, the stop effect control means 300 executes the spinning effect. As the lottery probability at that time, variously changed lottery probabilities are used in accordance with the lottery result of the role lottery means 110. Specifically, the lottery probability in the case of winning the BB combination is set to a high probability, and the lottery is set not to be performed when other combinations are won or lost. In addition, it is said that the spinning effect can be generated only at the time of winning the BB role, but it is not particularly limited to this, and it may be generated at the time of other role or loss, and it is not a normal game, It may be possible to generate a spinning effect during another predetermined game such as an advantageous game or when a winning combination is won. It should be noted that a numerical value set separately and independently in advance may be used for the lottery probability regardless of the lottery result of the winning lottery means 110.

(Rotating symbol position lottery means 184)
The rotating symbol position lottery means 184 is for determining the position of the symbol 61 between a plurality of rotating reels 40 that are partially or wholly rotating by lottery. Specifically, the rotating symbol position lottery means 184 determines the relative positional relationship of the symbols among the three rotating reels 40 being rotated by lottery.
Specifically, the rotating symbol position lottery means 184 determines the symbol “red 7” of the middle reel 44 and the right reel 45 relative to the symbol “red 7” as the specific symbol 61a of the reference left reel 43. Whether to shift frames is determined by lottery. When the symbol “red 7” of the middle reel 44 or the right reel 45 is positioned beside the symbol “red 7” of the left reel 43, the deviation is 0 frame, and the symbol of the middle reel 44 or right reel 45 from that position is zero. When “Red 7” is shifted one frame downstream of the rotation, the shift is one frame. Normally, a deviation from 0 frames to 20 frames may occur in the entire circumference, but the rotating symbol position lottery means 184 excludes 0 frames from the 21 numbers from 0 frames to 20 frames. One numerical value out of 20 frames from 20 frames to 20 frames is determined by lottery for the middle reel 44. Further, one numerical value out of the 19 reels is determined by lottery for the right reel 45, excluding those among the 20 reels determined by the lottery for the middle reel 44. Note that 0 frames are excluded except for the side-by-side positions of the left reel 43, the middle reel 44, and the right reel 45, which are used to assist in pushing, and the positions determined by the lottery of the middle reel 44. The right reel 45 is selected by lottery except for the side-by-side position where the middle reel 44 and the right reel 45 assist in pushing.

The rotating symbol position lottery means 184 includes a random number generation means, a random number extraction means, a symbol position lottery table, and a determination means, like the role lottery means 110.
The random number generating means generates a random number for symbol position lottery within a predetermined range (for example, 0 to 65535 in decimal number). Further, the random number extraction means extracts the random number generated by the random number generation means at a predetermined opportunity (specifically, operation of the start switch 30). Since the random number generating means is constituted by a counter circuit or the like, the numerical value generated by the random number generating means is not strictly a random number. However, since the timing at which the start switch 30 is operated is considered to be random, the numerical value extracted by the random number extraction means can be practically handled as a random number.

In addition, the symbol position lottery table predetermines which symbol number is determined for each random number within the range generated by the random number generating means.
In addition, the determination unit compares the random number extracted by the random number extraction unit with the symbol position lottery table and determines which one of the plurality of symbol numbers has been selected.
In this embodiment, the rotating symbol position lottery means 184 has the symbol “red 7” of the middle reel 44 shifted by n frames (n is an integer of 1 to 20) with respect to the symbol “red 7” of the left reel 43. The symbol “red 7” on the right reel 45 determines a combination of numerical values (n, m) (where n ≠ m) of m frames shifted (m is an integer of 1 to 20) by lottery. Here, in order not to enter the three frames of the display window 13, the lottery probabilities of 1, 2, 19, and 20 of n and m of the n and m shifted frames are set to 0 or other numerical values. It may be made smaller. As a result, it is possible to further avoid that the specific symbol 61a is solidified and assists in pushing.

In addition to that, in addition to the three frames of the display window 13, the maximum number of frames to be pulled in is added to prevent it from entering seven frames, so that the n and m misaligned frame numbers n and You may make it make the lottery probability of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 of m 0 or smaller than another numerical value. As a result, it is possible to further avoid that the specific symbol 61a is solidified and assists in pushing.
As described above, the number of frames for the shift of the symbol “red 7” is determined by lottery, but is not particularly limited thereto. Since 21 symbol numbers from 0 to 20 are assigned to the 21 symbol positions at the symbol position, the middle reel placed next to the symbol “red 7” of the left reel 43 by lottery. The symbol numbers of 44 and the right reel 45 may be determined. With the symbol “red 7” of symbol number 1 of the reference left reel 43 as a reference position, the number of symbols of the middle reel 44 and the right reel 45 beside the symbol of symbol number 1 of the left reel 43, respectively. Whether numbers are arranged may be determined by lottery.

Further, here, the position of the shift from 1 frame to 20 frames is determined by the lottery of the symbol position lottery means 184 during rotation. However, the position is not limited to the lottery, and is determined in a predetermined order. You may do it.
Further, when the effective lines are 5 lines as shown in FIG. 7, the state where the symbol “red 7” is 7 frames apart on the three rotating reels 40 (for example, (n, m) = (7, 14) , (14, 7)), one pattern may be determined by lottery. As a result, it is possible to avoid the specific symbol 61a from becoming solid and assisting in pushing, and even if the stop switch 50 is operated almost simultaneously, the specific symbol 61a is not retracted at the same time. In addition, when the effective line is the middle one line as shown in FIG. 8, the symbol “red 7” is selected by lottery from a plurality of patterns separated by 5 to 7 frames on the three rotary reels 40. One pattern may be determined. In this case, the same effect as the case of the five lines is obtained.

(Rotation control means 250)
The rotation control means 250 starts rotation of all three rotary reels 40 when the start switch 30 is operated, and controls the rotational drive of all three rotary reels 40. Specifically, the rotation control means 250 starts the rotation of all three rotary reels 40 when the start switch 30 is operated, and increases the speed until the rotation speed reaches a predetermined steady rotation speed. . Then, when the rotation speed of the rotary reel 40 reaches a predetermined steady rotation speed, the rotation control means 250 performs a constant speed process for rotating the rotary reel 40 at a constant steady rotation speed.

Further, in the present embodiment, the rotation control means 250 starts the rotation of the rotating reel 40 when a signal to start the spinning effect is input from the stop effect control means 300 described later. The start of the process for increasing the speed is temporarily suspended. Then, the rotation control unit 250 adjusts the rotation speed of the rotary reel 40 to a predetermined steady rotation speed when the signal indicating that the rotation effect is finished is input from the stop effect control unit 300. To start.
Specifically, when starting the speed adjustment process, the rotation control means 250 performs a speed adjustment process for starting the rotation and increasing the speed for the rotating reel 40 that has stopped rotating, and thereafter , Perform constant speed processing. In addition, when starting the speed adjustment process, for the rotating reel 40 that is rotating at a speed slower than the predetermined steady rotation speed, the speed is increased until the rotation speed reaches the predetermined steady rotation speed, and then Then, constant speed processing for maintaining a predetermined steady rotational speed is performed. When the steady rotational speed is set to be lower than the previous rotational speed, the speed until the rotational speed reaches a predetermined steady rotational speed is reduced.

In the present embodiment, the operation of the stop switch 50 is made effective after the transition process for rotating the rotary reel 40 at a predetermined steady rotational speed, that is, the so-called steady rotational process (speed adjustment process) is completed. Is formed.
(Weight control means 190)
The weight control means 190 controls so that the game time in one game does not become less than a predetermined time (hereinafter referred to as “wait time”). In the present embodiment, the wait time is set to 4.1 seconds. In the present embodiment, the weight control means 190 measures the wait time by the time measuring means 150. Specifically, the weight control means 190 causes the time measuring means 150 to start measuring when the rotation of the rotary reel 40 is started by the rotation control means 250 in one game. Then, in the next game, when the rotation of the rotary reel 40 is started by the rotation control means 250, the time measurement by the time measurement means 150 is reset and time measurement is started again. Similarly, in the games thereafter, when the rotation of the rotary reel 40 is started by the game and rotation control means 250, the time measurement by the time measurement means 150 is reset and the time measurement is started again.

Then, the weight control means 190 uses the rotation control means 250 when the time measured by the time measuring means 150 when the start switch 30 relating to the start of the game is operated is 4.1 seconds or less. The start of the process for starting the rotation of all the three rotary reels 40 is temporarily suspended, and after the counted time of 4.1 seconds, the process by the reserved rotation control means 250 is started.
Further, in the present embodiment, when the start switch 30 relating to the start of the game is operated, the progress of the game is delayed by the stop effect control means 300 described later, and the effect using the rotary reel 40 is provided during that time. There is a case where a certain spinning effect (rotary reel effect) is executed. In such a case, the weight control means 190 determines whether or not the time measured by the time measuring means 150 is 4.1 seconds or less with the start switch 30 being operated. When the timed time is 4.1 seconds or less, the weight control unit 190 temporarily holds the start of the process of starting the rotation of all three rotary reels 40 by the rotation control unit 250. And after the time measured for 4.1 seconds has elapsed, the suspended rotation control means 250 can start the process. At this time, the stop effect control means 300 executes the spinning effect after 4.1 seconds have elapsed. That is, after 4.1 seconds have elapsed, the progress of the game is delayed, and the spinning effect is executed during that time. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the spinning effect by the stop effect control means 300 is executed, if the set time is sure to clear the limit of 4.1 seconds, it is described above. As described above, the spinning effect is not executed after 4.1 seconds have passed, but the spinning effect is executed even if 4.1 seconds have not passed when the start switch 30 is operated. Also good.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the spinning effect is executed, the weight control means 190 is triggered by the fact that the spinning effect is finished and the rotation control means 250 starts the rotation of the rotary reel 40. Then, the time measuring means 150 is started to time. In other words, the weight control means 190 is triggered by the rotation control means 250 starting the rotation of the rotating reel 40 when the stop effect control means 300 receives the signal indicating that the rotation effect is finished and is input to the rotation control means 250. Then, the time measuring means 150 is started to time.
Note that the weight control means 190 causes the time measuring means 150 to start measuring when the rotation of the rotary reel 40 is started by the rotation control means 250, but is not limited to this. For example, when the spinning effect is executed, the weight control unit 190 may cause the time measuring unit 150 to start timing from any timing from the start to the end of the spinning effect.

(Stop control means 130)
The stop control means 130 stops the rotation of each rotary reel 40 based on the lottery result of the combination lottery means 110 and the rotation position of the corresponding rotary reel 40 when each stop switch 50 is operated. is there.
Specifically, the stop control means 130 indicates the rotational position of the corresponding rotary reel 40 when each stop switch 50 is operated until the corresponding stop switch 50 is operated after the corresponding index is detected. Rotating from this design with reference to the design that can be immediately stopped on the active line (ie, the rotational position of the rotating reel 40) when the stop switch 50 is operated, while specifying the number of steps of the corresponding stepping motor in between The corresponding rotary reel 40 is stopped within a range up to a symbol that has been moved in a predetermined number (the maximum number of smooth frames, for example, 4 frames).

When the lottery result of the winning lottery means 110 is won for any of the winning combinations, the stop control means 130, when stopping the rotation of each rotary reel 40, the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination, With regard to combinations of symbols corresponding to a role other than the winning role as much as possible on any active line, pull-in control and kicking control are performed so that they do not align on any active line. In the case where the lottery result of the combination lottery means 110 is lost, when stopping the rotation of each rotary reel 40, on any effective line, so that the combination of symbols corresponding to any combination is not aligned, Perform kick-off control.
In this embodiment, as a general rule, a single winning flag is established independently, but a plurality of winning flags may be established simultaneously (double winning). In such a case, the stop control means 130 presets which of the plurality of winning combinations is to be preferentially drawn in the pull-in control. Specifically, the stop control means 130 sets the pull-in priority order as “re-game combination”> “bonus combination”> “small combination”. Note that the priority order of pulling in may be set in the order of “re-playing combination”> “small combination”> “bonus combination”.

Further, in the present embodiment, the stop control means 130 includes a stop table in which the stop position of the symbol is determined in advance, and performs the above-described pull-in control and kick-off control using this stop table.
Specifically, the stop control means 130 includes one stop table for each flag state. Here, the flag state is, for example, a state where a plum winning flag is established or a state where a bell winning flag is established.
And, for example, in the `` Plum winning table '' which is a stop table used in the state where the plum winning flag is established, the combination of symbols corresponding to the plum role can be preferentially aligned on the active line, In addition, combinations of symbols corresponding to roles other than the plum role are set so as not to be aligned on the effective line.

The stop control means 130 may include one stop table for each flag state and gaming state. Here, the game state is a normal game in which a bonus winning flag is established (internal winning state), or a normal game in which a bonus winning flag is not established (internal non- Winning state) and RB games.
Further, the stop control means 130 may perform the pull-in control and the kick-off control by program control that performs control while determining whether or not to stop a predetermined symbol.
(Stop symbol judging means 140)
The stop symbol determination means 140 determines whether or not a combination of symbols corresponding to any of the combinations is displayed on any effective line when all the rotation reels 40 have stopped rotating. Control based on the determination result is performed. In other words, when a combination of symbols constituting a predetermined combination is displayed in a stopped state, a signal corresponding to the combination displayed in a stopped state is output.

Specifically, the stop symbol determination means 140 outputs a signal to each control means. Then, for example, the game control means 27 to which the signal relating to the small combination is inputted controls the stored paying means 65 to pay out a predetermined number of medals. In addition, for example, the game control means 27 to which a signal relating to the re-game player is inputted controls the game again. Further, for example, the special game control means 80 to which a signal related to the bonus combination is input starts a special game. More specifically, for example, the special game control means 80 to which a signal related to the BB combination is input starts the BB game.
(Time measuring means 150)
The time measuring means 150 is for measuring a predetermined time, and is for measuring various times when implementing the present embodiment, and includes a plurality of timer mechanisms. For example, a time limit of 4.1 seconds, which is a time limit for one game, is also measured, and a time for rotating in a state in which predetermined symbols of the spinning effect by the stop effect control means 300 are aligned (a state in which a predetermined mode is maintained), etc. Timekeeping is also performed. Further, it is for counting or counting other various times. The method is based on counting up to a predetermined time, but is not limited thereto, and may be based on counting down from a predetermined time.

(Rotation position determination means 161 (rotation position detection means 160))
The rotational position determination means 161 is based on the timing at which the index 47 from the rotational position detection device 46 passes through the index sensor 48 and the number of pulse signals input to the stepping motor 64 from that time. This is for grasping the current rotational position. The rotational position determination means 161 and the rotational position detection device 46 (index 47 and index sensor 48) constitute rotational position detection means 160 that detects the rotational position of the rotary reel 40. This makes it possible to recognize in real time the symbols currently passing in the upper and lower upper and lower stages around the predetermined reference position, for example, the middle position of the display window 13, in real time. It will be. The data is formed to be updated to the latest accurate data every time the index 47 passes the index sensor 48. Then, the rotation position data during rotation of the three rotary reels 40 detected by the rotation position determination means 161 is formed so as to be sent to the rotation position determination means 161 during the spinning effect every time it is updated. ing. Here, the data update means that every time the index 47 passes through the index sensor 48, the count of the number of steps based on the number of input pulse signals in the rotational position determination means 161 is reset to 0, and the reference position based on it It means that various data such as are appropriate.

(Cylinder effect data storage means 210)
The rotation effect data storage unit 210 stores the rotation effect data in which the time of the rotation effect by the stop effect control unit 300 and the execution contents of the rotation effect are predetermined.
Specifically, data such as the rotational speed of each rotating reel in the spinning effect and the time at the rotational speed are stored in advance.
(Stop production control means 300)
The stop effect control means 300 is for stopping the specific symbol 61a at a predetermined position of the display window 13 in a predetermined arrangement manner before the stop switch 50 can be operated after the rotary reel 40 starts rotating. It is. This stop effect control means 300 delays the progress of the game when it is decided to execute the rotation effect including the stop effect that stops the rotating reel 40 as a result of the lottery effect lottery means 120, In the meantime, a rotating effect (including a rotating reel stop effect) that is an effect using the rotating reel 40 is executed. The “delay of game progress” at this time is generally called “freeze effect” or the like.

Further, in the present embodiment, the stop effect control means 300 executes the rotation effect by the rotation effect data obtained from the rotation effect data storage means 210 based on the lottery result of the rotation effect lottery means 120. It is formed to do.
When the position of the specific symbol 61a detected by the rotational position detecting unit 160 is compared between the rotating reels 40 that are rotating, the stop effect control unit 300 has a predetermined symbol 61a configured by the plurality of rotating reels 40. The rotation mode of the predetermined rotating reel 40 is changed so as to rotate in the arrangement mode, and then the plurality of rotary reels 40 maintaining the predetermined arrangement mode are rotated at the same rotation speed, and then the state is maintained as it is. The spinning drum effect to be stopped (stop effect) is performed. In the present embodiment, the rotation speed of the rotary reel 40 is changed as the rotation mode.

Specifically, the stop effect control means 300 executes the spinning effect between the times A, B, C, and D in FIGS. 9 and 10. Here, the first, second, and third rotating reels 40 shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 are set in order as the left reel 43, the middle reel 44, and the right reel 45, and the middle reel 44 with reference to the left reel 43. The rotation speed of the right reel 45 is changed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the right reel 45 and the middle reel 44 may be used as a reference.
First, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, by time T1, the rotation speed of the left reel 43 is V3, the rotation speed of the middle reel 44 is V4, and the rotation speed of the right reel 45 is V2. Controls the output of the pulse signal. Then, the rotational speed of each rotary reel 40 is maintained at the set rotational speed.

  Then, the stop effect control means 300 collects the interval between the specific symbols 61a of the left reel 43 and the right reel 45 (specifically, “Red 7” of the BB role) from the rotational position data from the rotational position determination means 161. Then, a time B until the specific symbol 61a rotates side by side is calculated from the rotational speed difference (V2−V3) between the left reel 43 and the right reel 45, and is rotated by that time. The stop effect control means 300 then decelerates the rotation speed of the right reel 45 from V2 to V3, and when the time T2 is reached, the symbol “red” as the specific symbol 61a of the left reel 43 and the right reel 45 is displayed. The pulse signal is controlled so as to be rotated in a state where “7” is arranged side by side. Then, the stop effect control means 300 maintains the rotation speed V3 of the left reel 43 and the right reel 45, stops the rotation of the all-reel reel 40 for the time t in the middle of time T4, and then rotates. Start and control to rotate at the same rotation speed V3.

  On the other hand, the stop effect control means 300 collects the interval between the specific symbols 61a (specifically, “Red 7” of the BB role) of the left reel 43 and the middle reel 44 from the rotational position data from the rotational position determination means 161. Then, the time (B + C) until the specific symbol 61a rotates side by side in parallel is calculated from the rotational speed difference (V3-V4) between the left reel 43 and the middle reel 44, and it takes that time (B + C). Rotate with speed difference. Then, the stop effect control means 300 increases the rotation speed of the middle reel 44 from V4 to V3, and when the time T3 is reached, the symbol “red 7” of the left reel 43 and the middle reel 44 is displayed. The pulse signal is controlled so as to rotate in a state of being arranged side by side. Then, the stop effect control means 300 maintains the rotation speed V3 of the left reel 43 and the middle reel 44 and stops the rotation of the all-reel reel 40 for a time t in the middle of time T4, and then starts to rotate. Thus, the rotation control is performed at the same rotation speed V3.

Thereby, the stop effect control means 300 stops the rotation in a state where the symbols “red 7” of the three rotary reels 40 are arranged side by side for the time t in the middle from the time T3 to the time T4. The stop effect can be implemented.
The stop effect control means 300 is based on the rotation position data of the rotary reel 40 from the rotation position determination means 161 and data such as the rotation speed and the maintenance time stored in the rotation effect data storage means 210 by an internal calculation means. Time is calculated. The calculation calculation is executed while the calculation result is corrected each time the latest rotation position data is updated from the rotation position determination means 161. That is, the stop effect control means 300 controls the rotation reel 40 by using time elapsed information such as a predetermined time calculated from the rotation position and the rotation speed, and the rotation of the rotation reel 40 coming from the rotation position determination means 161. The rotary reel 40 is controlled by both the position information. The stop effect control means 300 is not limited to this, and may control the rotating reel 40 mainly with predetermined time lapse information, and may control the rotating reel 40 mainly with rotational position information. .

For example, only the current symbol position information is determined, and control is performed so that the predetermined rotation speed continues until the determination result reaches the predetermined symbol position, and the rotation speed is changed when the predetermined symbol position is reached. You may form so that it may be equal.
Further, for example, the stop effect control means 300 sets the rotation reel 40 to rotate at a predetermined rotation speed for a predetermined time at the start of the spinning effect. Then, the timer means of the time measuring means 150 may be configured to control mainly by simply determining the passage of time so as to perform speed adjustment processing or the like when the time is up.
Further, as described above, the stop effect control means 300 controls the rotation of the rotary reel 40 by the internal calculation means based on the collected various data, but is not particularly limited to this. A data table in which all the position data and the rotation speed calculated from the position data and the maintenance time thereof are recorded in advance from the initial stop position data is provided in the spinning drum effect data storage means 210, and the initial stop The rotating reel 40 may be controlled based on the position data and prestored data.

  In addition, here, the state in which the symbols “red 7” of the three rotary reels 40 are arranged side by side at the same rotational speed in order to correspond to the upper stage line L1, the middle stage line L2, and the lower stage line L3 is a predetermined arrangement mode. However, the rotation and the stop are not particularly limited. For example, in order to correspond to the upper right line L4, a pattern “red 7” arranged in a state of being shifted one by one in the upper right direction may be rotated and stopped as a predetermined arrangement mode. Further, in order to correspond to the right downward line L5, a pattern in which the symbols “red 7” are arranged one by one obliquely to the right downward may be rotated or stopped as a predetermined arrangement mode. In addition, in the case where other polygonal lines are set, the pattern “red 7” is arranged in an arrangement mode that can recall (correspond to) such polygonal lines. Is also good.

In the present embodiment, the turning effect is performed during the so-called freeze effect period. However, the freeze control means is provided separately from the stop effect control means 300, and the rotation effect including the stop effect as described above is provided. You may form so that only the freeze effect which does not perform a trunk | drum effect and delays progress of a game may be implemented.
(Re-rotation control means 310)
The re-rotation control means 310 re-rotates the rotating reel 40 after the stop effect (rotation effect) by the stop effect control means 300 and before the stop operation by the stop switch 50 becomes possible, The rotation mode of each rotary reel 40 is made different so that the position of the specific symbol 61a of the rotary reel 40 which is out of the predetermined arrangement mode rotates in a state where it can be displayed on the display window 13. After that, the re-rotation control means 310 rotates the plurality of rotating reels 40 at the same rotation speed in a state where the predetermined arrangement mode is displayed on the display window 13.

Then, the gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment is in a state where the predetermined arrangement mode of the specific symbol 61a is displayed on the display window 13 in each rotating reel 40 being rotated by the re-rotation control means 310. After the rotating reel 40 is rotated, a stop operation by the stop switch 50 is made possible.
Here, normally, when the spinning reel 40 does not perform the spinning effect, the rotation reel 40 starts rotating from the rotation stopped state, increases the rotation speed, and then a predetermined time elapses. Thus, the rotation speed becomes constant and stable (speed adjustment process). Such a stable rotation speed is defined as a steady rotation speed, and in this embodiment, the steady rotation speed is set as V1.

  Specifically, the re-rotation control unit 310 re-rotates the rotating reel 40 after the stop effect by the stop effect control unit 300 and before the stop operation by the stop switch 50 is enabled, and the specific symbol 61a is rotating. The rotation mode of some or all of the rotary reels 40 is changed so that the arrangement mode determined by the symbol position lottery means 184 is obtained. This change is referred to as “random rearrangement”. Thereafter, the re-rotation control means 310 rotates the plurality of rotating reels 40 at the same rotation speed in a state where the randomly rearranged ones can be displayed on the display window 13. Further, the re-rotation control means 310 increases the rotation speed of the rotation reel 40 in a state where the position of the specific symbol 61a of the rotation reel 40 being rotated is randomly rearranged, so that the rotation speed is a predetermined rotation speed. Move to speed.

Then, the gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment is rotated in a state in which the position of the specific symbol 61a of the rotating reel 40 being rotated is re-arranged by the re-rotation control means 310 can be displayed on the display window 13. After the reel 40 is rotated, a stop operation by the stop switch 50 is made possible.
More specifically, the re-rotation control means 310 controls the rotation of the rotary reel 40 during times E, F, G, and H in FIGS.
First, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, until the time T4, the stop effect control means 300 causes the three rotary reels 40 to rotate at the same rotational speed V3 in a predetermined arrangement mode ("red 7" is in a parallel state). is doing. Then, at time T4, the re-rotation control unit 310 increases the speed of the middle reel 44 to the rotational speed V2, pulses the right reel 45 to the rotational speed V4, and pulses the left reel 43 to maintain the rotational speed V3. Control the output of the signal. Then, the rotational speed of each rotary reel 40 is maintained at the set rotational speed.

  The re-rotation control means 310 continuously determines the interval between the specific symbols 61a of the left reel 43 and the middle reel 44 (specifically, “Red 7” of the BB role) from the rotation position data from the rotation position determination means 161. Collect. Then, the re-rotation control means 310 determines that, from the rotational speed difference (V2−V3) between the left reel 43 and the middle reel 44, the specific symbol 61a rotates from side to side in parallel until the n frames are actually separated. The shortest time E is calculated and rotated by the time E. Here, when the symbol “red 7” of the two rotating reels 40 is separated by n frames, the state where the two rotating reels 40 are arranged side by side and the symbol “red 7” is counted as 0 frames, and one is 1 When it rotates by one frame, it counts as one frame apart, and when one rotates by two frames, it counts as two frames apart, and repeats similarly, and when one rotates n frames, two reels Forty symbols “Red 7” count as n frames away. In other words, in the state where n frames are separated, compared to the state where both symbols “red 7” are arranged side by side, the symbol “red 7” moved from the symbol “red 7” in which the symbols are arranged side by side, (N-1) means a state in which there are symbols.

Here, the number of frames separating the symbol “red 7” of the two rotating reels 40 is set based on the following concept. The number of frames that release this specific symbol 61a is the time limit (for example, 190 ms) from when the player performs a stop operation by operating the stop switch 50, the rotation speed of the rotating reel 40, and the surroundings of the rotating reel 40. The number of symbols (number of frames) and the number and arrangement of effective lines are determined. Therefore, when the above elements are different, the number of frames separating the specific symbol 61a can be different.
Specifically, the time from the stop operation by the player operating the stop switch 50 to the stop is set within 190 ms. A predetermined stop table is set under the restriction that must be stopped within 190 ms. The rotation speed of the rotary reel 40 is set to about 80 rpm, and 21 frames (pieces) are arranged around one rotary reel 40, under the time limit within 190 ms from the stop operation described above. The maximum number of frames to be drawn is 4. For this reason, in the case where five active lines as shown in FIG. 7 are set, the gaming machine 10 has three frames displayed in the upper, middle and lower stages of the display window 13 and the maximum pull-in. Even if the four frames, which are the number of frames, are combined, the total is seven frames, and the maximum number of frames that can be displayed on the display window 13 in consideration of pull-in is seven frames. Under the conditions as described above, in a state where seven frames are separated, even if the pulling operation is considered by pressing the stop switch 50, two symbols “red 7” separated by seven frames can be simultaneously drawn into the display window 13. It is set so that it never becomes.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8, when the effective line is only one of the middle line L2 and the other conditions are the same as those described above, one frame displayed in the middle of the display window 13 When the 4 frames, which is the maximum number of drawn frames, are added together, the maximum number of frames that can be displayed on the display window 13 in consideration of the drawing is 5 frames in total. Therefore, in such a case, the number of frames separating the specific symbol 61a may be an interval of 5 frames or more (actually 5, 6 or 7).
As described above, the number of frames for releasing the symbol “red 7” of the two rotating reels 40 is the time limit from the stop operation, the rotation speed of the rotating reel 40, the number of symbols of the symbols around the rotating reel 40, and the number of active lines. And it changes by the element of arrangement | positioning changing. Specifically, for example, the number of frames that can be retracted increases as the rotational speed of the rotary reel 40 increases. Further, if the total number of symbols (total number of frames) of the rotating reel 40 increases, the number of frames that can be drawn increases. In addition, for the active line, the number of retractable points increases until the second stop operation (so-called second stop operation) is performed, that is, at the time of the second stop / stop operation, the winning combination can be stopped and displayed. As the number of effective lines increases, the number of frames that can be drawn increases.

As described above, when 7 frames are calculated as the number of frames separating the symbol “red 7” of the two rotating reels 40, n is set to a number of 7 in the state where n frames are separated as described above. If set, even if pull-in is considered by pressing the stop switch 50, two symbols “red 7” separated by n frames can never be pulled into the display window 13 at the same time. Therefore, when the numerical value n is set to a numerical value of 7, it is difficult to be used for assisting the pressing, and the relevance between the two is reduced, which is more preferable.
The re-rotation control means 310 then decelerates the rotation speed of the middle reel 44 from V2 to V3, and when the time T5 is reached, the symbol “red 7” of the left reel 43 and the middle reel 44 is separated by n frames. The pulse signal is controlled so that the rotation is performed in the state. Then, the re-rotation control means 310 controls the left reel 43 and the middle reel 44 to maintain the rotation speed V3 and to rotate at the same rotation speed V3 until time T7.

  On the other hand, the re-rotation control means 310 continuously determines the interval between the specific symbols 61a of the left reel 43 and the right reel 45 (specifically, “Red 7” of the BB role) from the rotational position data from the rotational position determination means 161. Collect. Then, the re-rotation control means 310 determines the m in the rotation direction from the position where the specific symbol 61a rotates side by side from the rotation speed difference (V3-V4) between the left reel 43 and the right reel 45. A time (E + F) until the frame is calculated is calculated, and the rotation is performed at the speed difference for the time (E + F). Then, the re-rotation control means 310 increases the rotation speed of the right reel 45 from V4 to V3, and when the time T6 is reached, the symbol “red 7” of the left reel 43 and the right reel 45 is displayed. The pulse signal is controlled so as to rotate in a state where m frames are separated. Then, the re-rotation control means 310 controls the left reel 43 and the right reel 45 to maintain their rotational speed V3 and rotate at the same rotational speed V3 until time T7.

Thereby, the re-rotation control means 310 is in a state where the symbol “red 7” of the right reel 45 and the middle reel 44 is separated from the position of the specific symbol 61a of the left reel 43 by m frames or n frames from time T6 to T7. For example, it can be rotated in a relative positional relationship as shown in FIG. Thereby, the re-rotation control means 310 can rotate the rotary reel 40 at the same rotational speed from the arrangement mode in which the symbols “red 7” are arranged side by side in a state in which the arrangement mode is broken.
Similar to the stop effect control means 300, the re-rotation control means 310, such as the rotation position data of the rotating reel 40 from the rotation position determination means 161 and the rotation speed and maintenance time stored in the rotation effect data storage means 210, etc. Based on the data, time and the like are calculated by internal calculation means. The calculation calculation is executed while the calculation result is corrected each time the latest rotation position data is updated from the rotation position determination means 161. That is, similar to the stop effect control means 300, the re-rotation control means 310 controls time information such as a predetermined time calculated from the rotational position and rotational speed to control the rotary reel 40, and the rotational position determination means 161. The rotary reel 40 is controlled by both the rotational position information of the rotary reel 40 that enters from the above. The re-rotation control means 310 is not limited to this, like the stop effect control means 300, and may control the rotary reel 40 mainly with predetermined time lapse information, and mainly with rotational position information. The rotating reel 40 may be controlled.

As described above, the re-rotation control means 310 controls the rotation of the rotary reel 40 by the internal calculation means based on the collected various data, but is not particularly limited to this. In addition, a data table in which all the position data and the rotation speed calculated from the position data, the maintenance time thereof, etc. are recorded in advance is provided in the spinning drum effect data storage means 210, and the initial stop position data and pre-stored The rotary reel 40 may be controlled based on the data.
(Advantageous game control means 220)
The advantageous game control means 220 controls advantageous games. The advantageous game control means 220 according to the present embodiment displays the information indicating the result of the lottery of the role lottery means 110 on the display device 68 as an advantageous game, thereby giving the winning small role to the player. A game in which notification is given is performed. Such an advantageous game is called assist time (AT) or the like. This advantageous game is formed so that it can be executed a predetermined number of times by stopping and displaying the advantageous game transition combination on the active line. The player looks at the information displayed on the display device 68 and operates the stop switch 50 at a timing so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the selected small role is stopped on any active line, Compared to the case where there is no notification, a combination of symbols corresponding to a larger number of small roles can be stopped and displayed on the active line, so that a larger number of medals can be obtained. Thereby, the assist time (AT) as an advantageous game is a game that is more advantageous to the player than the normal game.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, the three-choice role blue 7 (blue 7, plum, plum), the three-choice white 7 (white 7, plum, plum), and the three-choice red 7 ( Red 7, plum, plum). As shown in FIG. 5, in the left reel 43, the symbol “blue 7”, the symbol “white 7”, and the symbol “red 7” have, for example, a maximum retractable range that can be stopped or pulled into the display window 13. In the range of 7 frames, there is only one. For this reason, if any of the three-choice role blue 7, the three-choice role white 7, and the three-choice role red 7 as a small role is elected, the skill is excellent. However, when it is not notified which winning combination is won, the pull-in probability becomes one third. On the other hand, during AT, it is specified which one of the three-choice role blue 7, the three-choice white 7, and the three-choice red 7 as such a small role is identified and notified to the player. . Thereby, the possibility that the winning symbol can be stopped on the active line is dramatically increased, and the number of medals that can be acquired can be increased.

In the present embodiment, the turning effect by the stop effect control means 300 is formed so as to be executable only during the normal game, and is not performed during the special game and the advantageous game. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be formed so that the spinning effect is performed by the stop effect control means 300 even during an advantageous game. Thereby, the notification by the spinning effect is also added, and it is possible to give the player an opportunity to further notify the winning information.
(Production data storage means 230)
The effect data storage means 230 stores effect data of an effect to be executed and execution probability data in which an execution probability that is a probability of executing the effect is predetermined. The execution contents of the effect are configured by display on the display device 68, lighting / flashing of the effect lamp 17, sound generation from the speaker, and the like.

(Production control means 240)
The effect control means 240 executes the effect. In the present embodiment, the effect control means 240 executes the corresponding effect based on the effect data from the effect data storage means 230 based on the result lottery result by the role lottery means 110 based on the result of the effect lottery. It is formed to be possible.
(Operation of gaming machine 10)
The outline of the operation of the gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment will be described below based on the flowcharts shown in FIGS.

First, the flow of a normal game for the main control process, which is a process in the game control device 21 of the gaming machine 10, will be described.
In step 110 shown in FIG. 11, it is determined whether or not the symbol of the re-gamer is stopped and displayed on the active line in the previous game. Then, if it is determined that the symbol of the re-gamer is stopped and displayed, the process proceeds to step 111, and if it is determined that the stop game is not displayed, the process proceeds to step 112.
In step 112, it is determined whether or not a predetermined number (specifically, for example, three) of medals has been bet. If it is determined that a bet has been made, the process proceeds to step 113, where a bet process is performed. If it is determined that a bet has not been made, the process returns to step 112.

In step 111, a replay bet process is performed. Specifically, the medal as a condition for starting the game is automatically inserted without being inserted by the player without reducing the number of credits by the internal control of the gaming machine 10. Then, the process proceeds to step 114.
In step 114, it is determined whether or not the start switch 30 has been operated. If it is determined that the operation has been performed, the process proceeds to the next step 115. If it is determined that the operation has not been performed, Return to before 114.
In step 115, the role lottery means 110 performs a role lottery process. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 116.

In step 116, a spinning effect determination process is performed by the rotating effect drawing lottery means 120 and the rotating symbol position lottery means 184. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 117.
In step 117, the weight control means 190 determines whether or not the time measured by the time measuring means 150 for measuring the wait time is 4.1 seconds or less. If it is determined that the time is 4.1 seconds or less, the process proceeds to step 118. On the other hand, if it is determined that it is not less than 4.1 seconds, that is, it exceeds 4.1 seconds, the process proceeds to step 119.
In step 118, the weight control unit 190 performs weight processing. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 119.

In step 119, based on the lottery result of the reeling effect lottery means 120, it is determined whether or not to perform the spinning effect. If it is determined that the spinning effect is to be performed, the process proceeds to the next step 120. If it is determined that the spinning effect is not to be performed, the process proceeds to step 121.
In step 120, the stop effect control means 300 performs the spinning effect processing and the rearrangement processing. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 121.
In step 121, a process for shifting the rotation of the rotary reel 40 to the steady rotational speed is performed. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 122.
In step 122, it is determined whether or not the stop switch 50 has been operated. When it is determined that the stop switch 50 has been operated, the process proceeds to the next step 123, and when it is determined that the stop switch 50 has not been operated, the process returns to before step 122.

In step 123, stop control of the rotary reel 40 corresponding to the operated stop switch 50 is performed by the stop control means 130. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 124.
In step 124, the game control means 27 determines whether or not the rotation of all the rotary reels 40 has been stopped. Here, if it is determined that the rotation of all the rotary reels 40 has stopped, the process proceeds to step 125. On the other hand, if it is determined that the rotation of all the reels 40 has not stopped, the process returns to step 122.
In step 125, the stop symbol determination means 140 determines whether or not a combination of symbols corresponding to any of the combinations has been stopped and displayed on any effective line. Here, if it is determined that the display is stopped, the process proceeds to step 126. On the other hand, when it is determined that the stop display is not performed, the process ends.

In step 126, the game control means 27 performs a process corresponding to the combination corresponding to the combination of symbols that are stopped and displayed. For example, when a combination of symbols corresponding to any small combination is stopped and displayed, the number of medals corresponding to the combination is paid out. Then, the process ends.
Next, the flow of the spinning effect determination process in step 116 described above will be described.
First, in step 150, the spinning effect lottery process for determining whether or not to execute the spinning effect by the rotary reel 40 is performed by the spinning effect rendering lottery means 120. In this spinning effect lottery process, the actual lottery is executed only when a predetermined condition is satisfied, and the lottery is not executed when the predetermined condition is not satisfied. Of course, the lottery probability when the condition is not satisfied may be set to 0 and the lottery may be executed in all cases. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 151.

In step 151, it is determined whether or not the spinning effect is won. If it is determined that the spinning effect is won, the process proceeds to the next step 152.
In step 152, the rotating symbol position lottery means 184 determines how many frames (n frames) the symbol “red 7” of the middle reel 44 is apart from the symbol “red 7” of the reference left reel 43. Processing for determining the number n from an integer of 1 to 20 by lottery is performed. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 153.
In step 153, the rotating symbol position lottery means 184 determines how many frames (m frames) the symbol “red 7” of the right reel 45 is apart from the symbol “red 7” of the reference left reel 43. A process of determining the number m by lottery from the integers 1 to 20 excluding the numerical value determined in step 152 is performed. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 154. The lottery is performed by excluding the numerical value of n = m in advance, but the lottery method is not limited to this as long as it has the same effect. For example, when n = m The lottery process may be repeated until n = m.

In step 154, the number of frames n corresponding to the shift of the symbol “red 7” between the left reel 43 and the middle reel 44 is set based on the lottery result of the rotating symbol position lottery means 184. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 155.
In step 155, based on the lottery result of the rotating symbol position lottery means 184, the number m of frames corresponding to the shift of the symbol “red 7” between the left reel 43 and the right reel 45 is set. Then, the process ends.
Next, a description will be given of the flow of the above-described step 120 effect processing and rearrangement processing.

In step 211 shown in FIG. 13, the stop effect control means 300 starts rotation of the three rotary reels 40 at different rotational speeds. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 212.
In step 212, it is determined whether or not the left reel 43 (left cylinder) and the right reel 45 (right cylinder) are in the designated symbol position (arrangement mode). Specifically, it is determined whether or not the symbols “red 7” of the left reel 43 and the right reel 45 are rotated side by side based on predetermined time lapse information and symbol position information. is there. And when it determines with it being this symbol position (arrangement | positioning aspect), it progresses to the following step 213. On the other hand, if it is determined that it is not such a symbol position, the process returns to step 212.

In step 213, the rotation speeds of the left reel 43 and the middle reel 44 are adjusted to the same rotation speed V3. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 214.
In step 214, it is determined whether or not the left reel 43 (left cylinder) and the middle reel 44 (middle cylinder) are in the designated symbol position (arrangement mode). Specifically, it is determined whether or not the symbols “red 7” of the left reel 43 and the middle reel 44 are rotated side by side based on predetermined time-lapse information and symbol position information. is there. And when it determines with it being this symbol position (arrangement | positioning aspect), it progresses to the following step 215. On the other hand, if it is determined that it is not such a symbol position, the process returns to step 214.

In step 215, the rotation speeds of the left reel 43 and the middle reel 44 are adjusted to the same rotation speed V3. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 216.
Note that in steps 211 to 215 described above, the speed is adjusted in the order of the right reel 45 and the middle reel 44, but the order of the rotating reels 40 to be matched is not limited to this. The speed may be adjusted in the order of the reels 45. This also applies to the case where the reference rotation reel 40 is not the left reel 43 but another rotation reel 40, and the order in which the speeds are adjusted is any of the remaining two rotation reels 40. It can also be formed. Specifically, for example, FIG. 10 is made possible by making the right reel 45 maintain the rotational speed V2 until time T3 and the middle reel 44 maintain the rotational speed V4 until time T2. Further, for example, FIGS. 9 and 10 are graphs in which the graph of the right reel 45 and the graph of the middle reel 44 are interchanged (the graph of the right reel 45 becomes the middle reel 44, and the graph of the middle reel 44 becomes the right reel 45. Can be easily executed.

In step 216, the stop effect control means 300 stops the rotation of the three full-reel reels 40 simultaneously. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 217.
In step 217, the stop effect control means 300 starts the rotation of all the reels 40 simultaneously after time t has elapsed since the rotation of the all reels 40 has stopped. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 218.
In step 218, after a predetermined time has passed, the re-rotation control means 310 changes the rotation speeds of the three rotary reels 40 to different rotation speeds. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 219.

In step 219, it is determined whether or not the middle reel 44 is located at a predetermined number of frames counting from the left reel 43 as a starting point in a predetermined direction (the rotation direction of the rotary reel 40). Specifically, the symbol “red 7” of the middle reel 44 changes from the symbol “red 7” of the left reel 43 in a predetermined direction (the rotation direction of the rotary reel 40) based on predetermined time-lapse information and symbol position information. It is determined whether the position is n frames away after counting. If it is determined that the position is a predetermined number of frames away, the process proceeds to the next step 220. On the other hand, if it is determined that the position is not a position separated by the predetermined number of frames, the process returns to step 219.
In step 220, starting from the left reel 43, the right reel 45 is moved in a predetermined direction (the rotation direction of the rotary reel 40 and the same direction as the predetermined direction in step 219. Note that the right reel 45 may be in the same direction as the predetermined direction in step 219. For example, it may be the counter-rotating direction of the rotating reel 40), and it is determined whether or not the position is separated by another predetermined number of frames. The other predetermined number of frames is set to a value different from the predetermined number of frames in step 219. Specifically, the symbol “red 7” of the middle reel 44 changes from the symbol “red 7” of the left reel 43 in a predetermined direction (the rotation direction of the rotary reel 40) based on predetermined time-lapse information and symbol position information. It is determined whether or not the position is a distance of m frames (m ≠ n). If it is determined that the predetermined number of frames is away, the process ends. On the other hand, if it is determined that the predetermined number of frames are not separated, the process returns to step 220.

In steps 219 to 220 described above, the middle reel 44 and the right reel 45 are separated in this order. However, the order of the separated rotating reels 40 is not limited to this, and the right reel 45 is separated. To the middle reel 44 in this order. This also applies to the case where the reference rotation reel 40 is not the left reel 43 but another rotation reel 40, and the release order is formed in any order of the remaining two rotation reels 40. You can also
In the above flow, the left reel 43 and the middle reel 44 are separated from each other in a predetermined direction (rotation direction) by a predetermined number of frames, the counting direction of the predetermined number of frames is set to the same direction, and the left reel 43 and the right reel 45 are in a predetermined direction. By separating the number of frames different from the predetermined number of frames (in the rotation direction), it is ensured that the specific symbols 61a of the right reel 45 and the middle reel 44 are not arranged side by side. However, in the case where the detection is performed regardless of the direction in which the number of frames between the two symbols is counted, the above-described steps are performed so that the specific symbols 61a of the right reel 45 and the middle reel 44 are not arranged side by side. Instead of 219 and 220, “the right reel 45 and the left reel 43 are separated by a predetermined number of frames, the left reel 43 and the middle reel 44 are separated by a predetermined number of frames, and the middle reel 44 and the right reel 45 are separated by a predetermined number of frames. Or maybe? ” Thus, even in such a case, the specific symbol 61a between the left reel 43 and the right reel 45 is separated by a predetermined number of frames, and the specific symbol 61a between the left reel 43 and the middle reel 44 is separated by a predetermined number of frames, The specific symbol 61a between the 44 and the right reel 45 can be in a state of being separated by a predetermined number of frames.

(Action / Effect)
According to the present embodiment, when the stop effect control means 300 decides to execute the stop effect as the revolving effect as a result of the lottery of the revolving effect lottery means 120 during the normal game, During the spinning effect of the rotating reel 40 before the operation becomes possible, the speed of the three rotating reels 40 is set so as to rotate in the predetermined arrangement form in which the pattern “red 7” is arranged side by side in parallel. After the change, all the reels 40 are stopped with the pattern “red 7” aligned. Specifically, during the time (B + C) between times T1 and T3, the symbols “red 7” of the three rotary reels 40 are aligned. Then, during the time D from the time T3 to the time T4, the three rotary reels 40 are rotated at the same rotational speed while maintaining the predetermined arrangement mode, and thereafter the symbol “red 7” is placed on the predetermined effective line. Stop display. For this reason, the expectation of a predetermined profit provision can be given.

Thereafter, the re-rotation control means 310 individually changes the rotational speeds of the three rotating reels 40 so that the rotating rotating reels 40 are out of the arrangement state in which the symbols “red 7” are arranged in parallel. And the arrangement | positioning aspect of the three rotation reels 40 can be made into the broken state, It is made to rotate with a predetermined | prescribed rotational speed in the broken state. Thereby, the arrangement | positioning aspect which is the parallel state of the symbol "red 7" does not collapse during rotation of the rotary reel 40, and does not become an aid to pushing. Therefore, even for a player who is skilled in the skill of pressing, the fun of the pressing is not halved and the interest of the game can be improved.
In the present embodiment, in the rearrangement by the re-rotation control means 310, the symbols of the middle reel 44 and the right reel 45 from the symbol “red 7” of the reference left reel 43 are determined by the lottery of the rotating symbol position lottery means 184. The position of deviation of “Red 7”, n and m are determined. Moreover, it is determined by lottery whether to shift from one frame to 20 frames for each rotary reel 40 as viewed from the reference left reel 43. For this reason, a predetermined arrangement mode is determined by lottery from predetermined combinations, and various combinations of arrangement modes can be expressed. Thereby, by random number lottery, arbitrary things can be excluded and it becomes possible to make it a completely random rearrangement state. Thereby, it becomes possible to make the arrangement | positioning aspect of a rearrangement state into a very natural arrangement | positioning aspect.

(Partial modification of the rotation mode of the rotating reel 40 in the spinning effect)
In the present embodiment, the stop effect control means 300 displays the symbol “red 7”, which is the specific symbol 61a, on the display window 13 before the stop switch 50 can be operated after the rotary reel 40 starts rotating. It is stopped at a predetermined position in a predetermined arrangement mode. That is, the spinning effect including the stop effect is performed in a predetermined rotation mode.
Here, the rotation mode of the rotating effect including the stop effect of “stopping the specific symbol 61a at a predetermined position of the display window 13 in a predetermined arrangement mode” performed at times A, B, C and D in FIG. Various modifications can be considered. The contents are described below. In the following partial modification, like the description of FIG. 9, in the drawing, the left reel 43 is indicated by a solid line, the middle reel 44 is indicated by a one-dot chain line, and the right reel 45 is indicated by a two-dot chain line.

(Rotation mode in the spinning effect (1))
First, as shown in FIG. 14, the rotational speed of the rotary reel 40 is changed to be different. Here, FIG. 14 is an enlarged view of the initial part of the rotation in the conceptual diagram showing the change in the rotational speed of the three rotary reels 40 of FIG. Here, as the rotation starts, the three rotary reels 40 are rotated with different rotational accelerations, and when the time T1 is reached, the rotational speeds of the three rotary reels 40 reach V2, V3, and V4. is doing. Thereafter, as described above, by changing the rotational speed of the three rotary reels 40 as described above, the symbol “red 7” of the left reel 43, the middle reel 44, and the right reel 45 is being rotated. The relative positions are aligned. Then, with the aligned state, the rotation of all the reels 40 is stopped for a time t, the aligned state is stopped on the effective line, and then rotated again.

Note that “changing the rotation mode” by the stop effect control means 300 is not limited to the above.
(Rotation mode in the rendition effect (2))
For example, as shown in FIG. 15, the rotation acceleration may be set to be the same for the three rotary reels 40 when the three rotary reels 40 start to rotate. Each of the rotating reels 40 keeps rotating at each speed when reaching the respective rotating speeds V2, V3, and V4, and rotates for a predetermined time due to the rotating speed difference from the left reel 43, whereby the symbol “red 7” is displayed. During rotation, the display windows 13 can be relatively aligned so that they can be displayed. Then, with the aligned state, the rotation of all the reels 40 is stopped for a time t, the aligned state is stopped on the effective line, and then rotated again.

(Rotation mode in the swivel effect (3))
Further, when the arrangement of stop positions before the start of rotation can be grasped by storing the stop position of the previous game, the rotation of the three rotary reels 40 is not started at the same time, but as shown in FIG. In addition, by shifting the rotation start timing, the predetermined symbol “red 7” can be relatively aligned during rotation. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 16, first, rotation of the left reel 43 (solid line in FIG. 16) is started, and the rotational speed is increased at a constant rotational acceleration. At that time, the middle reel 44 and the right reel 45 remain stopped. The left reel 43 reaches the rotation speed V2 when the time M1 is reached, and keeps rotating at a constant speed V2. Then, after the rotation of the right reel 45 (two-dot chain line in FIG. 16) is started at time M2, the rotation of the middle reel 44 (one-dot chain line in FIG. 16) is started at time M3. By shifting the rotation start timing, the rotation is maintained at the rotation speed V2 while the symbols “red 7” of the left reel 43 and the right reel 45 are aligned side by side at the time M4. At time M5, the left reel 43 and the middle reel 44 are kept rotating at the rotational speed V2 while the symbols “red 7” are aligned side by side. As a result, the three rotary reels 40 The rotation is maintained in a state where the red 7 ”is maintained side by side. Then, with the aligned state, the rotation of all the reels 40 is stopped for a time t, the aligned state is stopped on the effective line, and then rotated again. The operation of the rotation mode of the rotary reel 40 after the time M5 is the same as that after the time T3 in FIG. 10 of the first embodiment.

Thus, by shifting the rotation start timing of the rotary reel 40, the rotational acceleration and rotational speed of the rotary reel 40 can be set to be the same for all three rotary reels 40. As a result, in the production of the rotation control programming of the rotary reel 40, the parameter to be changed can be set only for the time, and the rotation acceleration and the rotation speed can all be made common, and the control programming can be facilitated. it can.
In such a case, in the previous game, it is necessary to store the stop position of the rotary reel 40 and maintain the memory until the current game.
(Rotation mode in spinning effect (4))
In addition, as shown in FIG. 17, the three rotary reels 40 are started to rotate at the same time, and after rotating at the same rotational acceleration and the same rotational speed, by shifting the stop timing of the three rotary reels 40, It can be stopped so that the symbols “red 7” are aligned. At time N3, the two rotating reels 40 are stopped when the symbols “red 7” are aligned, and at time N4, the three rotating reels 40 are stopped when the symbols “red 7” are aligned. . Then, from the state where the symbols “Red 7” are aligned and stopped, the three rotary reels 40 start rotating simultaneously, rotate at the same rotational acceleration and the same rotational speed, and the symbol “Red 7” is aligned. The state is rotated as an effect while showing the state after time N5. The subsequent steps are the same as those after the time T4 in the first embodiment. Note that the order of the rotating reels 40 to be temporarily stopped can be changed as appropriate.

(Rotation mode in the spinning effect (5))
Also, as shown in FIG. 18, of the three rotating reels 40, a predetermined rotating reel 40 is reversely rotated so that the symbols “red 7” are aligned, and thereafter, all three are rotated in the forward direction. “Red 7” is in a state of being aligned. In the rotation mode shown in FIG. 18, only the right reel 45 shown by the two-dot chain line starts reverse rotation of the other rotation reel 40 and reversely rotates it, increasing the reverse rotation speed until time P1, and after time P1, Decrease the reverse rotation speed. Then, at time P2, the rotational speed is 0, that is, a stop state, and thereafter, the rotational speed is increased by forward rotation from time P2 to P4. At time P4, the rotation speed V2 is constant at a rotation speed V2 in a state where it can be displayed on the display window 13 in a state where it is aligned with the pattern “red 7” of the left reel 43. Then, the middle reel 44 also starts to rotate at time P3, and at the time P5, it is in a state where the symbols “red 7” of the other two rotating reels 40 are aligned. As a result, the symbols “red” of the three rotating reels 40 are aligned. Rotate in a state where it can be displayed on the display window 13 in a state where 7 ”is aligned. Then, with the aligned state, the rotation of all the reels 40 is stopped as a stop effect for the time t, and the aligned state is shown on the effective line. Here, the predetermined rotation reel 40 to be reversely rotated is only one of the right reel 45, but is not particularly limited to this, and may be another rotation reel 40, or two or all of them. The rotary reel 40 may be reversely rotated.

  Here, whether or not to reversely rotate is determined by determining the reference reel 40 (the left reel 43) and the reel 40 which is intended to align the symbol “red 7” by changing the speed thereof. The relative positions of the two symbols “Red 7” may be determined. Rather than calculating the degree of separation of the positions of both symbols “red 7” in the stopped state and trying to make the relative positional relationship in a predetermined arrangement mode with all the forward rotations, combining forward rotation and reverse rotation Thus, it may be determined to adopt reverse rotation when a predetermined arrangement mode can be realized in a shorter time. Specifically, for example, when the left reel 43 is set to rotate before the middle reel 44, the symbol “of the middle reel 44 by one frame than the symbol“ red 7 ”of the left reel 43 is set. If “Red 7” is positioned upstream of the forward rotation (opposite to the rotation direction), when all the forward rotations are adopted, the left reel 43 is not rotated approximately one turn for 20 frames, and the symbol “ Cannot align to “Red 7”. However, if the left reel 43 can be rotated one frame in the reverse direction, the left reel 43 and the middle reel 44 can be rotated with a rotation amount smaller than that of the left reel 43 by approximately one turn, “red 7”. It is possible to align both symbols “red 7” in a shorter time than in the case of all rotations.

Further, the rotation modes (1) to (5) in the above-described spinning drum effect can be used in combination as appropriate. Further, the reference rotation reel 40 is not particularly limited to the left reel 43, and the order of rotation start and the magnitude of the rotation speed may be appropriately changed for each rotation reel 40.
(Partial modification of rotation mode of rotating reel 40 in rearrangement)
In the present embodiment, the re-rotation control means 310 uses the specific symbols 61a of the rotating reels 40 that are rotating after the turning effect by the stop effect control means 300 and before the stop operation by the stop switch 50 is enabled. The arrangement of the pattern “red 7” in the aligned state is rearranged so that the collapsed one is rotated so that it can be displayed on the display window, and the rotation mode of the rotary reel 40 is changed. A plurality of rotating reels 40 are rotated at the same rotational speed in a state in which a predetermined arrangement mode is broken and can be displayed on the display window 13.

Here, various partial modifications can be considered for the “rotation mode in rearrangement” performed after time T4 in FIG. The rotation modes in various rearrangements are described below.
(Rotation mode in rearrangement (1))
First, in the “rotation mode in rearrangement” as shown in FIG. 10, the rotational speeds of the three rotary reels 40 are changed to be different as shown in FIG. Here, FIG. 19 shows the rotation mode of the rearrangement of the three rotary reels 40 of FIG. 10 according to the first embodiment, and shows the change of the rotational speed in the rearrangement. Is an enlarged version. Here, the rotational speeds of the three rotary reels 40 that have been rotated at the same rotational speed of the rotational speed V3 are rotated at different times from the time T4, and when the time T5 is reached, this is indicated by a one-dot chain line. When the symbol “red 7” between the middle reel 44 and the left reel 43 indicated by the solid line is separated by a predetermined number of frames (n frames) and reaches the time T6, the right reel 45 indicated by the two-dot chain line and The symbol “red 7” with the left reel 43 indicated by the solid line is in a state of being separated by a predetermined number of frames (m frames). Then, during the time G, it rotates at the rotational speed V3 in that state, and the three rotary reels 40 simultaneously increase the rotational speed from time T7, and reach the steady rotational speed V1 at time T8. And it is formed so that the operation of the stop switch 50 becomes effective from this time T8. Note that the mode of changing the rotation speed is not limited to this, and the arrangement mode in which the pattern “red 7” is aligned can be rearranged so as to be separated by a predetermined number of frames or more. If it exists, another aspect of changing the rotation speed may be used.

(Rotation mode in rearrangement (2))
For example, as shown in FIG. 20, the rotation speed of the reference left reel 43 is increased from time T4 to time T5 to be the rotation speed V1. Then, the state of the rotational speed difference (V1−V2) is maintained for a time when the symbol “red 7” of the left reel 43 is separated from the symbol “red 7” of the middle reel 44 by a predetermined number of frames (n frames), and time T6 From T to T7, the rotation speed of the middle reel 44 is increased to reach the rotation speed V1 at time T7. In this state, the symbol “red 7” between the left reel 43 and the middle reel 44 is in a state of being separated by a predetermined number of frames (n frames). Similarly, the right reel 45 also maintains the rotational speed difference (V1-V2) state, increases the rotational speed from time T8 to T9, and sets the rotational speed to V1 at time T9. As a result, the symbols “red 7” of the left reel 43 and the right reel 45 are also separated by a predetermined number of frames (m frames).

(Rotation mode in rearrangement (3))
Further, as shown in FIG. 21, until the time Q4 of time D, the three rotating reels 40 are rotated in a state where the symbols “red 7” are aligned. Then, the left reel 43 indicated by a solid line as a reference from time Q4 to Q5 decelerates the rotation speed, becomes zero at time Q5, and stops. Then, the middle reel 44 indicated by the alternate long and short dash line stops at time Q6, and in the stopped state, the symbol “red 7” between the left reel 43 and the middle reel 44 is separated by a predetermined number of frames (n frames). Stop. Similarly, the right reel 45 indicated by a two-dot chain line also decreases the rotation speed, stops at the rotation speed 0 at time Q7. In this state, the symbols “red 7” of the left reel 43 and the right reel 45 are stopped in a state where they are separated by a predetermined number of frames (m frames). Then, the stop state continues for time H, and at time Q8, the three rotary reels 40 start rotating at the same rotational acceleration at the same time, and reach the steady rotational speed V1 at time Q9.

(Rotation mode in rearrangement (4))
Further, as shown in FIG. 22, until the time R4 of time D, the three rotating reels 40 are rotating at the same rotational speed V2 in a state where the symbols “red 7” are aligned. Then, from time R4 to R5, the three rotary reels 40 decelerate the rotational speed at the same rotational acceleration, and at time R5, the three rotary reels 40 are stopped simultaneously. In this state, the symbol “red 7” is stopped in an aligned state. At that time, the symbols “red 7” of the three rotary reels 40 are stopped in a horizontal line along the middle line L2 of the display window 13. Then, the stop state continues only for time F, and at time R6, the left reel 43 indicated by the solid line as a reference starts to rotate, and the rotational speed is increased to the rotational speed V1. On the other hand, the middle reel 44 indicated by the alternate long and short dash line starts to rotate at the same rotational acceleration as the left reel 43 at time R7 with a time G behind the left reel 43, and increases the speed to the rotational speed V1. At time R9, the pattern “red 7” of the left reel 43 and the middle reel 44 continues to rotate at the same rotational speed in an arrangement manner in which the predetermined number of frames (n frames) are separated. At time R8, the right reel 45 indicated by the two-dot chain line also starts rotating. At time R10, the symbol “red 7” between the left reel 43 and the right reel 45 is separated by a predetermined number of frames (m frames). The rotation is continued at the same rotational speed V1 (steady rotational speed).

(Rotation mode in rearrangement (5))
Further, as shown in FIG. 23, until the time S4 of time D, the three rotating reels 40 are rotating at the same rotation speed V2 in a state where the symbols “red 7” are aligned. Then, from time S4, the left reel 43 indicated by the solid line serving as a reference increases the rotational speed, and after reaching the rotational speed V1, maintains the rotational speed V1 (steady rotational speed). Then, the middle reel 44 indicated by the alternate long and short dash line from time S4 starts to decelerate the rotation speed, reaches the rotation speed 0 at time S5, temporarily stops, and then immediately starts to rotate in the reverse rotation direction. After reaching the reverse rotational speed V3 at time S6, the reverse rotational speed starts to decrease, and at time S7, the rotational speed becomes zero and once stopped, The rotation starts in the forward rotation direction, the rotation speed is increased, and the rotation speed V1 is reached at time S8. At this time, the symbol “red 7” of the left reel 43 and the middle reel 44 is in a state of continuing to rotate at the same rotation speed V1 in an arrangement manner in which the predetermined number of frames (n frames) are separated. On the other hand, the right reel 45 indicated by the two-dot chain line keeps rotating at the rotation speed V2 from time S4 to S9, and the relative position of the symbol “red 7” due to the rotation speed difference (V1−V2) of the left reel 43. , The rotational speed is increased from time S9 to time S10, and the rotational speed V1 is reached at time S10. At the time S10, the symbol “red 7” between the left reel 43 and the right reel 45 is in a state of continuing to rotate at the same rotational speed V1 in an arrangement manner in which the predetermined number of frames (m frames) are separated.

  In the above embodiment, the timing at which the index 47 turns off the index sensor 48 is not specifically described, but the number of pulses to the stepping motor 64 output from the motor driver 62 by the stop effect control means 300 is not described. The rotation speed, fluctuations in the rotation speed, current rotation position, etc. are judged by counting the number, and if there is a deviation from the judgment at the timing when the index 47 turns off the index sensor 48, the deviation It is formed so that it can be automatically corrected. And it is formed so that it can respond also to the complicated fluctuation | variation of the above rotational speeds by such deviation | shift correction | amendment.

Further, the rotation modes (1) to (5) in the rearrangement described above can be used in combination as appropriate. Further, the reference rotation reel 40 is not particularly limited to the left reel 43, and the order of rotation start and the magnitude of the rotation speed may be appropriately changed for each rotation reel 40.
Furthermore, various things shown in the partial modification example of the rotation mode of the rotating reel 40 in the above-described spinning drum effect, and various things shown in the partial modification example of the rotation mode of the rotating reel 40 in the rearrangement, Each can be used in combination. Specifically, for example, one of the rotation modes (1) to (5) in the above-described rotation effect and one of the rotation modes (1) to (5) in the above-described rearrangement, respectively. They can be used in combination as appropriate.

(Other partial variations)
In this embodiment, the spinning effect can be generated only at the time of winning the BB game, but the spinning effect is performed when winning the right to play an advantageous game, such as when winning a transitional role of an advantageous game. It may be formed.
In the above-described embodiment, as an advantageous game, the assist time (AT) for notifying the player of the selected small role is executed. However, the assist time (AT) is not limited to the AT. For example, (a) BB (B) the winning combination is displayed on the active line, (c) the bonus game is stopped, (d) the predetermined symbol is displayed on the active line during normal games, (e) the above End of a predetermined number of games from the trigger of either c or d,
You may make it perform the replay time (RT) set so that the winning probability of a re-game may be changed and a game start or end may be triggered at any one of the above-mentioned (a) to (e).

Further, an assist replay time (ART) game in which AT can be executed simultaneously during RT may be performed. Further, for example, by setting the number of smooth frames of any of the rotating reels 40 to 0 or 1 frame, a challenge time (CT) that enables so-called pressing may be executed.
In the above-described embodiment, the assist time (AT) is a game for notifying the player of the selected small role, but is not limited thereto. The assist time (AT) may be, for example, a type for notifying the operation order of the stop switch 50 (so-called “push order”) in which the symbol of the selected small role can be stopped and displayed on the active line.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, but includes modifications and improvements as long as the object of the present invention can be achieved. In addition, the present invention can be appropriately combined or rearranged with the above-described embodiments.
(Second Embodiment)
In the first embodiment, in the random arrangement by the re-rotation control means 310, the data of the arrangement mode determined by the lottery of the symbol position lottery means 184 during rotation is collected. Then, based on the arrangement mode data determined by the lottery, the reference “red 7” of the left reel 43 and the middle reel 44 is separated by n frames, and the red reel 45 and the right reel 45 indicate “red”. 7 ”obtained data that was m frames away, and performed random rearrangement.

  The re-rotation control means 310 according to the present embodiment is configured so that a part or all of the plurality of rotating parts are rotating before the stop operation by the stop switch 50 is enabled after the stop effect as the spinning effect by the stop effect control means 300. When the position of the specific symbol 61a at the predetermined timing is compared between the rotating reels 40, the interval from the position of the specific symbol 61a of the predetermined rotating reel 40 to the position of the specific symbol 61a of the other rotating reel 40 is predetermined. Changing the rotation mode of a part or all of the rotary reels 40 so that the position of the specific symbol 61a collapses from the predetermined arrangement mode by becoming a position separated by the number of frames or more (this change is referred to as “separation After that, the plurality of reels 40 are rotated at the same rotational speed while the separated and rearranged ones can be displayed on the display window 13. Then, after the rotating reel 40 is rotated in a state where the position of the specific symbol 61a of the rotating reel 40 being rotated and re-positioned by the re-rotation control means 310 can be displayed on the display window 13, the stop switch 50 is rotated. This is characterized in that the stop operation by can be performed. In the present embodiment, the rotating symbol position lottery means 184 in the first embodiment can be made unnecessary.

That is, in the present embodiment, the numerical value for separating the symbol “red 7” by each rotary reel 40 is a predetermined numerical value, specifically, for example, when the number of effective lines is five as shown in FIG. In the embodiment, the numerical values of n and m are set to (n, m) = (7, 14) or (14, 7). Then, the re-rotation control means 310 is separated to the predetermined numerical value. Other spinning effects and other configurations, operations, and effects are the same as those in the first embodiment.
In the present embodiment, the rotating symbol position lottery means 184 can be dispensed with, and it is not necessary to determine and store the arrangement form in advance, thereby reducing the storage capacity and saving the lottery processing program and the like. The game progress can be accelerated by the time of the lottery process.

(Third embodiment)
In the present embodiment, after the stop effect as the spinning effect of the symbol “red 7”, when the symbol “red 7” is broken from the arrangement mode in which the symbols “red 7” are aligned in parallel, a predetermined collapsed state is set in advance. One of the predetermined arrangement modes is selected.
Specifically, the rotating symbol position selecting means for selecting the position of the symbol arrangement between the plurality of rotating reels 40 during rotation from a plurality of predetermined arrangement modes in which the symbol “red 7” is broken. It is equipped with.
This rotating symbol position selection means selects a predetermined arrangement manner by lottery from an arrangement manner storage means for storing a plurality of predetermined arrangement manners in which the symbol “red 7” is collapsed. Arrangement mode lottery means. And the selected arrangement | positioning aspect is selected based on the lottery result of the arrangement | positioning aspect lottery means.

The re-rotation control means 310 then displays the symbol “red 7” by the rotating symbol position selection means after the stop effect as the spinning effect by the stop effect control means 300 and before the stop operation by the stop switch 50 is enabled. The rotational speed of the rotary reel 40 is changed so as to be a predetermined symbol position (selective rearrangement). The re-rotation control means 310 then rotates the plurality of rotary reels 40 at the same rotational speed in the selected rearrangement state.
Then, after the rotating reel 40 is rotated while the position of the symbol “red 7” of the rotating reel 40 being rotated is selected and rearranged by the re-rotation control means 310, the stop operation by the stop switch 50 can be performed. It is to make.

Other configurations, operations, and effects are the same as those in the first embodiment. In the present embodiment, when the predetermined arrangement mode is destroyed, the predetermined arrangement mode is selected from the predetermined arrangement modes. Therefore, the control program for breaking the arrangement mode can be made unnecessary, and the control process Can be done easily and quickly.
(Fourth embodiment)
In the first to third embodiments described above, during the rotation of the rotary reel 40 from the operation of the start switch 30 until the operation of the stop switch 50 becomes possible, the stop effect control means 300 uses the symbol of the BB role. A certain design “red 7” is placed in a predetermined arrangement form, and a stop effect is performed as a spinning effect that always stops rotation of all rotating reels 40 in a state where the predetermined symbols are aligned. It improved the expectation of the transition and gave a sense of uplifting. After that, the arrangement mode is broken by the re-rotation control means 310. However, in the present embodiment, it is not necessarily stopped in the arrangement manner as described above, but is performed mainly while the rotary reel 40 is rotating. Before the stop switch 50 can be pressed, the arrangement is rotated.

Specifically, when the position of the specific symbol 61a detected by the rotational position detecting means 160 is compared between the plurality of rotating reels 40 that are rotating, the specific pattern 61a is configured by the plurality of rotating reels 40. The rotation mode of the predetermined rotary reel 40 is changed so as to rotate in a state where it can be displayed on the display window 13 and then the plurality of rotary reels 40 are moved at the same rotation speed while maintaining the predetermined arrangement mode. A rotation effect control means for performing a rotation effect to rotate is provided.
Then, after the turning effect by the turning effect control means, before the stop operation by the stop switch 50 is enabled, the positions of the specific symbols 61a of the plurality of rotating reels 40 that are rotating are out of the predetermined arrangement mode. The rotation mode of the predetermined rotating reel 40 is changed so as to rotate in a state where it can be displayed on the display window, and then the plurality of rotating reels 40 are mounted in a state where the predetermined arrangement mode is displayed on the display window. Relocation control means for rotating at the same rotation speed is provided.

Then, after rotating the rotating reel 40 in a state where the predetermined arrangement mode of the specific symbol 61a in each rotating reel 40 being rotated by the rearrangement control means can be displayed on the display window, the stop switch 50 It is formed so that a stop operation is possible.
Further, the rearrangement control means performs a predetermined timing between a part or all of the rotating reels 40 during rotation after the turning effect by the turning effect control means and before the stop operation by the stop switch 50 becomes possible. When the positions of the specific symbols 61a are compared, the distance from the position of the specific symbol 61a of the predetermined rotating reel 40 to the position of the specific symbol 61a of the other rotating reel 40 is a position separated by a predetermined number of symbols or more. As a result, the rotation mode of a part or all of the rotary reels 40 is changed so that the position of the specific symbol 61a is broken from the predetermined arrangement mode. This change is referred to as “separation rearrangement”. Then, the rearrangement control means rotates the plurality of rotary reels 40 at the same rotational speed while the separated and rearranged ones can be displayed on the display window. Then, after the rotating reel 40 is rotated in a state in which the position of the specific symbol 61a of the rotating reel 40 being rotated and rearranged by the rearrangement control means can be displayed on the display window, the rotation is stopped by the stop switch 50. Operation is made possible.

In the present embodiment, instead of the stop effect control means 300 for performing the stop effect as the revolving effect by the temporary stop in the first to third embodiments, the revolving effect for performing the revolving effect during rotation. It has a control means. Further, in the process of starting the rotation of the temporarily stopped rotating reel 40 in the first to third embodiments, instead of the re-rotation control means 310 that disrupts the predetermined arrangement mode, a predetermined value during rotation is obtained. It has a rearrangement control means for changing the arrangement mode.
Specifically, when it is determined that the spinning effect is to be executed as a result of the lottery effect lottery means 120, the spinning effect control means can operate the stop switch 50 after the start switch 30 is operated. Before, the symbols “red 7” of the three rotating reels 40 are rotated in a state where they are aligned side by side.

Then, the rearrangement control means sets the positions of the specific symbols 61a of the three rotary reels 40 to a predetermined arrangement mode after the rotation effect by the rotation effect control means and before the stop operation by the stop switch 50 becomes possible. Each rotating reel 40 is rotated so as to collapse from the (design “red 7” parallel state), and thereafter, the three rotating reels 40 are rotated at the same rotational speed in a state where the predetermined arrangement is broken.
Then, after the rotation reel 40 is rotated in a state in which the predetermined arrangement pattern of the specific symbol 61a is broken in each rotating reel 40 being rotated by the re-rotation control means 310, the stop operation by the stop switch 50 can be performed. It is what you are doing.

Here, as shown in the flow of FIG. 24, there are three methods for breaking the predetermined arrangement mode by the rearrangement control means, that is, for breaking the arranged state from the state where the symbols “red 7” are gathered. The rotational speed of the rotary reel 40 can be performed at different rotational speeds. Thereafter, the predetermined arrangement mode can be rearranged by the separation rearrangement separated by the predetermined number of frames described in the first embodiment.
The specific game flow is such that the spinning effect processing and the rearrangement processing in step 120 of the first embodiment are as shown in FIG. 24 instead of the flow in FIG.
In the first to fourth embodiments described above, the re-rotation control unit 310 or the rearrangement control unit performs the selection rearrangement, the random rearrangement, or the separation rearrangement of the symbol “red 7” by one rotation. You may make it implement only with a reel. Specifically, the remaining two rotating reels 40 remain in an aligned state, but only one rotating reel 40 is in a state of collapsed from the aligned predetermined arrangement mode.

Further, in the first to fourth embodiments described above, as a method of breaking the predetermined arrangement mode in the re-rotation control unit 310 or the rearrangement control unit, the above-described separation rearrangement that separates the predetermined number of frames, or random reconfiguration by lottery. Arrangement and selective rearrangement selected from predetermined ones can be appropriately employed.
In the first to fourth embodiments described above, the rotation mode by the stop effect control unit 300 or the rotation effect control unit is a partial modification of the rotation mode in the rotation effect described in the first embodiment. Various things can be applied as in the example.
Further, in the first to fourth embodiments described above, from the state where the predetermined arrangement mode by the re-rotation control means 310 or the rearrangement control means is broken, that is, from the state where the pattern “red 7” is aligned, the alignment is completed. As a technique for breaking the state, various methods can be applied as in the partial modification of the rotation mode in the rearrangement described in the first embodiment.
