Description

  The present invention relates to a slot machine that performs a freeze that does not accept operation of an operation switch by a player for a predetermined time.

In a conventional slot machine, there is known a slot machine that performs a freeze that does not accept an operation of an operation switch such as a start switch or a stop switch for a predetermined time.
Such a freeze is used, for example, for the effect of notifying whether or not a special role has been won and whether or not to shift to an ART game or the like.
Specifically, for example, a slot machine that starts reel rotation in an order corresponding to a lottery result of a combination and outputs a notification sound corresponding to the lottery result of a combination is known (for example, Patent Document 1). reference).

Further, for example, the operation invalid time is determined, and the operation of the operation switch is invalidated during the determined operation invalid time. And, according to the determined operation invalid time length, there is also a slot machine that determines whether or not to notify information for stopping the combination of symbols corresponding to the predetermined combination on the effective line when the predetermined combination is won It is known (see, for example, Patent Document 2).
Furthermore, for example, a slot machine that determines a waiting time from when the start switch is operated until the stop switch is made effective based on the lottery result of the combination is also known (for example, Patent Document 3). reference).

  Further, for example, when a bonus combination is won, one of a plurality of types of waiting times is selected based on the random number value extracted at this time. Then, the standby time is counted at the start or end of the bonus game, and during that time, the system waits not to rotate the reels, and executes any of a plurality of types of effects determined based on the standby time. A slot machine is also known (see, for example, Patent Document 4 and Patent Document 5).

JP 2010-051352 A JP 2009-201820 A JP 2009-225877 A JP 2009-189531 A JP 2009-189532 A

However, all of the techniques disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 5 described above merely change the mode and time of the freeze according to the lottery result of the role.
A slot machine that freezes over a plurality of games is also known.
However, in this slot machine, since the number of games to be frozen first is determined, and then only freezing is performed over the determined number of games, the freeze has nothing to do with game play.

Furthermore, there is also known a slot machine that changes the time for freezing when a bonus combination is won when a bonus combination is won again within a predetermined number of games after the bonus game ends.
However, in this slot machine, it is only necessary to determine the time of freezing to be executed when winning this bonus role according to the number of games until the winning of this bonus role after the previous bonus game ends, Freeze had nothing to do with playability.

Therefore, the problem to be solved by the present invention is to execute a freeze during a special game according to a lottery result of a role at the time of winning a special role in a slot machine that performs freeze for which a player does not accept operation of an operation switch for a predetermined time It is to change the frequency and give a privilege to the player accordingly.
Furthermore, the problem to be solved by the present invention is to suggest to the player the frequency of execution of the freeze during the special game according to the mode of freeze at the time of winning the special role.

The present invention solves the above-described problems by the following means. Note that the corresponding embodiment is shown in parentheses.
The invention of claim 1 includes a plurality of reels (31) displaying a plurality of types of symbols, and a stop switch provided for each of the reels and operated by the player when stopping the rotation of the corresponding reel. An operation switch (a bet switch 40, a start switch 41, or a stop switch 42), a freeze control means (75) for controlling a freeze that does not accept the operation of the operation switch by the player for a predetermined time (5 seconds), and for the player Role lottery means for lottery of a role including a special role (BB or RB) for shifting to an advantageous special game (BB game or RB game) and a plurality of types of specific roles (small role 4A, 4B, 4C) (61) and when the stop switch is operated, the reel is controlled to stop the reel based on the lottery result of the combination by the combination lottery means. When the special combination is won by the control means (64) and the special lottery means, the special role selection carry-over means (winning flag control means 63) is carried over to the next game until the selected special combination wins. As a mode during the special game, there are a plurality of freeze execution modes (freeze execution modes A, B, C) having different freeze execution frequencies. When the special role is won, the freeze execution mode in the special game is selected. Mode selection means (75a) for selecting, in at least one of the game won as a special role by the role lottery means or the game carrying over the special role winning by the special role selection carryover means, And the reel control means has the game that the special role is won by the role lottery means, or the special role winning In at least one of the games that have carried over the winning of the special role by the means, if any of the specific roles is won by the winning lottery means, the reels are stopped and controlled so that the special role can win. The reels are controlled so that a specific combination does not win at the same time in the game, and the mode selection means wins the special combination by the game in which the special combination is won by the combination lottery means or the special combination selection carryover means. In at least one of the games that carry over the game, if any of the specific roles is won by the above-mentioned lottery means, if the special role wins, freeze depending on the type of the specific role won in the game The mode is selected, and the freeze control means is freed at an execution frequency according to the freeze execution mode selected by the mode selection means during the special game. To give a bonus to the player in accordance with the execution of the freeze during the special game (adding (adding) the number of AT games) It is characterized by that.

  The invention of claim 2 is the slot machine according to claim 1, further comprising freeze mode selection means (75b) for selecting any one of a plurality of types of freeze modes. When a winning combination is won, a freeze mode is selected according to the freeze execution mode selected by the mode selection unit, and the freeze control unit is selected by the freeze mode selection unit when a special combination is won. Control is performed so as to execute freeze based on the above.

(Function)
In the present invention, as a mode during the special game, there are a plurality of freeze execution modes with different execution frequencies of the freeze, and when the special role is won, the specific role that is won at the same time as the special role in the game is selected. The freeze execution mode corresponding to the type is selected. During the special game, the freeze is executed at an execution frequency according to the freeze execution mode, and a privilege is given to the player according to the execution of the freeze during the special game.
For this reason, the execution frequency of the freezing during the special game can be changed according to the lottery result of the combination at the time of winning the special combination, and a privilege can be given to the player accordingly.

Furthermore, the present invention has a plurality of types of freeze modes. Then, when the special combination wins, a freeze mode corresponding to the freeze execution mode is selected, and the freeze is executed based on the selected freeze mode.
For this reason, the freezing at the time of winning the special role is not only a directing, suggesting the freeze execution mode during the special game according to the mode of freezing at the special role winning, and further suggesting the frequency of the freeze during the special game. As a result, it is possible to suggest a privilege to be given to the player.

According to the present invention, it is possible to change the execution frequency of the freeze during the special game according to the lottery result of the combination at the time of winning the special combination, and to give the player a privilege accordingly.
Further, according to the present invention, the freezing execution mode during the special game is suggested according to the freezing mode at the time of winning the special role, and further, the execution frequency of the freezing during the special game is suggested, and as a result, the privilege granted to the player Can be suggested.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an outline of control of the slot machine 10 in the present embodiment. The slot machine 10 includes a main control means (game control means) 50 and a sub control means (effect control means) 80.

  The main control means 50 controls the progress of games such as winning lottery, reel 31 drive (rotation and stop) control, and payout when winning. The main control means 50 is provided on a main control board (not shown), and a CPU for performing calculations, a ROM for storing programs necessary for the progress of games, etc., and the CPU perform various controls. A RAM or the like is provided for temporarily storing data that is sometimes captured.

  The sub-control means 80 controls the selection / output of effects during the game and during the game standby. The sub-control means 80 is provided on a sub-control board (not shown). The CPU that performs calculations, the ROM that stores data for effects (such as effect patterns), and the CPU perform various effects. A RAM or the like for temporarily storing data taken in when outputting is provided.

  The sub control board is a control board belonging to a lower level of the main control board. The main control means 50 and the sub control means 80 are electrically connected, and signals and information (commands) necessary for production output are transmitted from the main control means 50 to the sub control means 80 in one direction. It is formed so that.

As shown in FIG. 1, on the input side (the left side in FIG. 1) of the main control means 50, a bet switch 40, a start switch 41 (left, Middle, right) Stop switch 42 and medal slot 43 are electrically connected.
The bet switch 40 is a switch operated when the player inserts a stored medal for the game. In the present embodiment, it is set to play three medals in any gaming state, and three medals are inserted by operating the bet switch 40. Of course, the present invention is not limited to this, and one and two bets may be provided.

The medal insertion slot 43 is a part where the player inserts an actual medal. Inserting a medal from the medal insertion slot 43 plays the same role as operating the bet switch 40.
Furthermore, the start switch 41 is a switch operated by the player when starting the reels 31 (all of left, middle, and right).
Further, three (left, middle, right) stop switches 42 are provided corresponding to the three (left, middle, right) reels 31, and are switches that the player operates when stopping the corresponding reels 31. It is.

Three motors 32 are electrically connected to the output side (right side in FIG. 1) of the main control means 50.
The motor 32 is for rotating the reels 31, is connected to the center of rotation of each reel 31, and is controlled by a reel control means 64 described later. Here, the reel 31 includes a left reel 31, a middle reel 31, and a right reel 31, and a stop switch 42 that is operated when the left reel 31 is stopped is the left stop switch 42, and when the middle reel 31 is stopped. The stop switch 42 to be operated is the middle stop switch 42, and the stop switch 42 to be operated when stopping the right reel 31 is the right stop switch 42.

  The reel 31 is ring-shaped, and a reel tape on which a plurality of types of symbols (designs constituting a combination of symbols corresponding to the combination) is attached is attached to the outer peripheral surface thereof. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a symbol arrangement of the reels 31 in the present embodiment. In FIG. 2, symbol numbers are also shown. As shown in FIG. 2, in the present embodiment, for each reel 31, 21 symbol display areas are arranged at equal intervals (the number of symbol frames is 21), and each symbol display area has a predetermined value. The symbol is displayed.

  FIG. 3 is a view showing the positional relationship between each reel 31 and a display window (transparent window) 11 provided in the front mask portion (front door, not shown) of the slot machine 10. In this embodiment, three reels 31 (left reel 31, middle reel 31, and right reel 31) are provided in parallel in the horizontal direction in this embodiment. Further, each reel 31 is arranged so that three symbols that are continuous in the vertical direction can be seen from the display window 11. Therefore, the display windows 11 of the slot machine 10 are arranged so that a total of 3 × 3 = 9 symbols can be seen.

  In this specification, in FIG. 3, the position where the “RP” symbol of the left reel 31, the “watermelon” symbol of the middle reel 31, and the “cherry” symbol of the right reel 31 are indicated as “upper row”. ”, The position where the symbol“ 7 ”of the left, middle and right reels 31 is stopped is called“ middle stage ”, the symbol“ cherry ”of the left reel 31, the symbol“ RP ”of the middle reel 31, The position where the “bell” symbol of the right reel 31 is stopped is referred to as “lower stage”.

As shown in FIG. 3, a symbol combination line indicated by a two-dot chain line in the drawing is provided in a portion including the display window 11 of the slot machine 10.
Here, the “symbol combination line” is a line of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped, and is a line that forms a combination of symbols.
In the present embodiment, a horizontal middle line (L1), a horizontal upper line (L2), a horizontal lower line (L3), a diagonally downward right line (L4), and a diagonally upward right line (L4) L5) has a total of 5 symbol combination lines.

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

  The valid line and the invalid line are set according to the number of medals inserted and the game state, but in this embodiment, as described above, the medals are set to always play with three medals inserted. . All five symbol combination lines L1 to L5 are set as effective lines, and there are no invalid lines.

The number of medals inserted is not limited to this, and may be one or two.
Further, only some of the five symbol combination lines L1 to L5 may be set as active lines according to the number of medals inserted, the game state, and the like.
Furthermore, in FIG. 3, only a linear symbol combination line is shown, but not limited to this, “upper left reel 31” − “upper middle reel 31” − “lower right reel 31” etc. It is also possible to set a bent line-shaped symbol combination line as an effective line.

Further, in FIG. 1, on the output side of the sub control means 80, effect output devices such as the lamp 21, the speaker 22, and the image display device 23 are electrically connected.
The lamps 21 are effects lamps for the slot machine 10 and are turned on in a predetermined pattern when predetermined conditions are satisfied. The lamp 21 is arranged on the inner peripheral side of each reel 31 and is a back lamp (not shown) for illuminating from behind the symbols displayed on the reel 31 (three symbols that are continuously visible from the display window 11). ), And an upper lamp and a side lamp (not shown) which are arranged on the front surface of the housing of the slot machine 10 and blink when a winning combination is made.

The speaker 22 outputs a predetermined sound when a predetermined condition is satisfied in order to perform various effects during the game.
Furthermore, the image display device 23 is composed of a liquid crystal display, a dot display, or the like, and displays various effect images (such as effect images during freeze to be described later) during the game.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the types of combinations (combinations drawn by the combination lottery means 61 described later), the number of payouts, and combinations of symbols in the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 4, special combinations, small combinations, and replays are provided as combinations.
A combination of symbols corresponding to each combination and the number of payouts at the time of winning are determined. As a result, when all the reels 31 are stopped, if a combination of symbols corresponding to any of the combinations stops on the active line, the combination is won, and the number of medals corresponding to the combination is paid out or automatically inserted. (However, special roles are excluded.)
In the present specification, for convenience of explanation, “the combination of symbols corresponding to any combination stops at any valid line” is referred to as “the combination“ wins ””.

In the role, first, the special role is a role that shifts from a normal game to a special game (a game that has a higher game play rate than a normal game and is advantageous to the player). In the present embodiment, BB (first type big bonus) and RB (regular bonus) are provided as special roles. When BB wins, the medal is not paid out in the game, but the game shifts from the next game to the BB game which is one of the special games. Similarly, when the RB wins, there is no payout of medals in the game, but the next game shifts to the RB game which is another one of the special games.
Other special roles include MB (middle bonus, also referred to as a second type big bonus) and SB (single bonus), which are not provided in this embodiment.

The small role is a role in which a predetermined number of medals are paid out. In this embodiment, the small role is roughly divided into small roles 1 to 4 and a combination of predetermined symbols for each small role. Is set. Note that “any” in the small part 1 means that any symbol may be used.
Furthermore, the small combination 4 includes three types of small combinations 4A to 4C.
Furthermore, the replay is a replaying role that enables a replaying game in which the number of medals inserted in the game is maintained.

In each of the above-mentioned combinations, if the combination of symbols corresponding to the combination does not stop on the active line in the game selected for the combination, a combination that is carried over after the next game and a combination that is not carried over are determined. .
Special roles (BB and RB) are mentioned as the carry-over. When the special combination is won, in the game until the combination of symbols corresponding to the special combination stops on the active line when the reel 31 is stopped, the special combination is controlled to be carried over from the next game onward.

  As described above, the winning of the special role is carried over, but the roles other than the special role (small role and replay) are not carried over. When a role other than the special role is won in the lottery of the role, the winning role is valid only in the game, and the winning is not carried over after the next game. In other words, in the game where these winning combinations are won, the reel 31 is controlled to stop so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination can be stopped (winning) on the active line. Regardless, at the end of the game, the right to the winning role will cease.

  A game in which a special role is not won (a game in which a special role is not carried over) is referred to as “non-inside”. In addition, a special combination was won in a game prior to the game, but the combination of symbols corresponding to the selected special combination is not stopped on the active line (not winning). Is called “inside”.

  At the start of the game, the player operates the bet switch 40 to insert a previously stored medal, or inserts a medal from the medal insertion slot 43, and operates (turns on) the start switch 41. When the start switch 41 is operated, a signal generated at that time is input to the main control means 50. When receiving this signal, the main control means 50 (specifically, the reel control means 64 described later) controls to drive all the motors 32 and rotate all the reels 31 (freeze described later). Except when is executed). As the reel 31 is rotated by the motor 32 in this way, the symbols on the reel 31 are moved and displayed in the vertical direction in the display window 11 at a predetermined speed.

Then, the player presses the stop switch 42 (provided that operation acceptance of the stop switch 42 is enabled as will be described later), and the reel 31 corresponding to the stop switch 42 (for example, left The rotation of the left reel 31) corresponding to the stop switch 42 is stopped. When the stop switch 42 is operated, a signal generated at that time is input to the main control means 50. When the main control unit 50 (specifically, a reel control unit 64 described later) receives this signal, the main control unit 50 controls the drive of the motor 32 corresponding to the stop switch 42 and controls the stop of the reel 31 related to the motor 32. I do.
When all the reels 31 are stopped, when the symbol combination corresponding to any of the combinations stops on the active line (that is, when the winning combination of the combination is awarded), the medal corresponding to the winning combination is paid out. Etc. are performed.

  Here, in the present embodiment, the “main game state” controlled by the main control means 50 side includes a normal game and a special game, and the “sub game state” controlled by the sub control means 80 side is non-AT. Includes games and AT games. The “special game” corresponds to a BB game and an RB game in the present embodiment. The “normal game” means a game other than a special game, and a non-internal game and an internal game are provided. Furthermore, non-RT games and RT games are provided as non-internal games.

  The RT (replay time) game is a main game state in which the difference in number per game is greater than that in the non-RT game by setting the winning probability of replay higher than that in the non-RT game. In other words, if the player wins / wins the replay, the number of medals in the game is automatically inserted and the re-game can be performed, so that the number of medals consumed is reduced accordingly. As a result, the reduction of medals is less than in non-RT games. Therefore, the RT game is a game that is more advantageous for the player than the non-RT game.

In addition, the main game state in which the winning probability of replay is different from the non-RT game may be referred to as an RT game.
As described above, the RT game means a main game state in which the winning probability of replay is set higher than that of the non-RT game in a narrow sense, and in a broad sense, the main game state in which the winning probability of replay is different from that of the non-RT game. It means a gaming state.

The AT (assist time) game is provided with a case where an advantageous game result can be obtained and a case where an advantageous game result cannot be obtained depending on the pressing order or operation timing of the stop switch 42, and is advantageous only by chance during a non-AT game. Although the game result cannot be obtained, during AT game, the player follows the notification by notifying the push order or the operation timing of the stop switch 42 which is advantageous to the player or the operation timing (the pattern aimed at the effective line, etc.). By operating the stop switch 42, the most advantageous game result can be obtained (for example, the most advantageous symbol combination can be stopped on the active line, or the winning combination can be surely stopped on the active line. Can refer to) a game.
If an AT game is executed during an RT game, the game becomes an RT game and an AT game (ART game).

  As shown in FIG. 1, the main control means 50 includes the following combination lottery means 61 and the like. The following means in the present embodiment are examples, and the main control means 50 is not limited to the means shown in the present embodiment.

  The role lottery means 61 performs lottery for a role (the special role, the small role, and the replay described above). The role lottery means 61 is based on, for example, a random number generation means (hardware random number, etc.) for a role lottery, a random number extraction means for extracting a random number generated by the random number generation means, and a random value extracted by the random number extraction means. And determining means for determining the presence / absence of a winning combination and the winning combination.

  The random number generation means generates random numbers in a predetermined area (for example, 0 to 65535 in decimal notation). The random number is, for example, a random number for which the counter that performs 1 count at 200 n (nano) sec continues to count as a cycle in the range of 0 to 65535, and continues to count the random number while the slot machine 10 is powered on. .

The random number extraction means extracts the random number generated by the random number generation means at a predetermined time, in the present embodiment, when the start switch 41 is operated (turned on) by the player. The determination unit determines the combination corresponding to the region to which the random number value belongs by comparing the random number value extracted by the random number extraction unit with a combination lottery table 62 described later. For example, if the extracted random number value belongs to the winning area of the small combination 3, it is determined that the small combination 3 is winning, and if it belongs to the non-winning area, it is determined to be non-winning. Also, for example, when the extracted random number value belongs to the replay single winning area, it is determined to be a replay single winning area, and when it belongs to the overlapping winning area of BB and replay, it is determined to be a double winning combination of BB and replay. .
Duplicate winning means that two or more types of winning combinations are won simultaneously in the game.

  The combination lottery table 62 defines the types of combinations to be selected and the winning probability of each combination. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the role lottery table 62 (62A to 62D) in the present embodiment. The role lottery table 62 is provided for each main game state. Each of the winning lottery tables 62 has a lottery area within a predetermined range. The lottery area is divided into a winning area and a non-winning area for each winning combination, and the winning combinations are set in advance. It is set to a predetermined ratio so as to be a winning probability.

The combination lottery table 62A shown in FIG. 5 is a combination lottery table 62 that is used in a non-internal and non-RT game.
In the role lottery table 62A, a lottery is performed for each of the small role 1, the small role 2, the small role 3, the small roles 4A to 4C, and the replay, and the special winning combination (BB and RB) and replay. .

Here, in FIG. 5, the portion in which two types of winning combinations are described in two upper and lower stages means that these two types of winning combinations are won in duplicate in the game. For example, a portion where BB and replay are described in two upper and lower stages means that BB and replay are won in duplicate in the game. Further, the portion in which the small combination 1 and the small combination 4A are described in two upper and lower stages means that the small combination 1 and the small combination 4A are won in duplicate in the game.
In addition, the winning probability of the special combination shown in FIG. 5 is an example of the winning probability with any one set value. Actually, when the setting value includes setting 1 to setting 6, the winning probability of the special combination is set to be higher as the setting value is higher.

The combination lottery table 62B shown in FIG. 5 is a combination lottery table 62 used in the RT game and not in the normal game.
The combination lottery table 62B is different from the combination lottery table 62A in that the winning probability of replay is different, and is otherwise the same as the combination lottery table 62A. Specifically, in the combination lottery table 62B, the winning probability of replay is set to be significantly higher than that in the combination lottery table 62A. As a result, replays are frequently won in games where the combination lottery table 62B is used. To do.

The combination lottery table 62C shown in FIG. 6 is a combination lottery table 62 used in the inside game of the normal game.
The role lottery table 62C is different from the role lottery table 62A in that special roles (BB and RB) are not drawn, and that all non-winning areas are replaced with winning areas for replay. It is the same as the table 62A. Once a special role is won and the game goes inside, the special role will not be drawn until the special game based on the prize is completed.

The combination lottery table 62D shown in FIG. 6 is a combination lottery table 62 used in a special game (BB game or RB game).
In the role lottery table 62D, only the small role 3 lottery is performed, and the small roles other than the small role 3, special roles, and replay lotteries are not performed. Further, in the combination lottery table 62D, the winning probability of the small combination 3 is set to be significantly higher than that of the other combination lottery table 62. Thus, in a game in which the combination lottery table 62D is used, Win frequently.

Returning to FIG.
The winning flag control means 63 controls on / off of the winning flag 63a corresponding to each combination based on the lottery result of the combination by the combination lottery means 61. In the present embodiment, BB, RB, small combination 1, small combination 2, small combination 3, small combination 4A to 4C, and replay winning flags 63a are provided so as to correspond to the winning combination. When winning in the lottery of the combination by the combination lottery means 61, the winning flag 63a of the corresponding combination is turned on (the winning flag 63a is set). For example, when winning the small combination 1, the winning flag 63a related to the small combination 1 is turned on, and the winning flags 63a of the other combinations remain off.

In addition, as described above, since winning of a role other than the special role is not carried over, even if these roles are won in the game and the winning flag 63a of these roles is turned on, the winning is not performed at the end of the game. The winning flag 63a is turned off.
On the other hand, since the winning of the special role is carried over, when the special role is won in the game and the winning flag 63a related to the selected special role is turned on, the ON state is kept until the special role is won. It is maintained and turned off when the special role wins.
That is, when the winning combination is controlled by the winning lottery means 61, the winning flag control means 63 carries over the winning of the special role to the next game until the winning special role is won.

For example, when BB and replay are both won in the game, two winning flags 63a for BB and replay are turned on at the same time. When BB is not winning in the game, the winning flag 63a for BB is turned on. Is maintained, and the replay winning flag 63a is turned off. When winning the small combination 3 in the next game (internal game), the winning flag 63a of the small combination 3 is turned on in addition to the winning flag 63a of the BB that is already on. If the BB is not won at the end of the game, the winning flag 63a of the BB is kept on and the winning flag 63a of the small role 3 is turned off.
Thus, the number of winning flags 63a that are turned on is not limited to one.

  When the reel control means 64 receives a rotation start command for the reel 31, especially in this embodiment, when the start switch 41 is operated (when a signal indicating that the start switch 41 is operated) is received ( The three reels 31 are controlled to start rotating (except when freezing is executed).

If the time from the start of rotation of the reel 31 in the previous game to the time when the start switch 41 is operated in the game has not passed 4.1 seconds, the start switch 41 can be used for operation. Although the lottery is performed, the rotation of the reel 31 does not start at the moment (immediately after) the start switch 41 is operated, and the rotation of the reel 31 starts after 4.1 seconds. Thus, the time from when the start switch 41 is operated until the rotation of the reel 31 is referred to as “wait time”.
In this embodiment, freezing may be performed, but the weight generated when the start switch 41 is operated is different from that of freezing.

  Further, the reel control means 64 refers to the ON / OFF of the winning flag 63a in the game after the winning lottery is performed by the winning lottery means 61, and the stop position determination table corresponding to ON / OFF of the winning flag 63a. 65, and when the stop switch 42 is operated, the stop position of the reel 31 corresponding to the stop switch 42 is determined based on the timing when the stop switch 42 is operated, and the motor 32 is turned on. Drive control is performed to stop the reel 31 at the determined position.

  For example, in a game in which at least one winning flag 63a is on, the reel control means 64 has a symbol corresponding to the winning combination (the combination for which the winning flag 63a is on) within the range of stop control of the reel 31. The reel 31 is controlled so that the combination can be stopped on the effective line, and the reel 31 is controlled so that the combination of symbols corresponding to a combination other than the winning combination (the combination in which the winning flag 63a is off) is not stopped on the effective line. Stop control.

  Here, “within the range of stop control of the reel 31” means within the range of the amount of rotation of the reel 31 (the number of moving symbols) from the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated until the reel 31 actually stops. In this embodiment, the number of moving symbols from the symbol at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated is within 4 symbols (within 5 symbols including the symbol at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated), in other words, the stop switch 42 is The time from the moment when the reel 31 is operated until the reel 31 stops is set within 190 ms.

  As a result, when any of the symbols within the range of the stop control of the reel 31 counted from the symbol at the moment when the operation of the stop switch 42 is detected is a symbol to be stopped on the effective line, the stop switch 42 is operated. When that happens, the symbol is controlled to stop at the active line.

  That is, if the reel 31 is stopped immediately at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated at the time of winning the winning combination, the reel 31 stopping control is performed when the reel 31 stops when the symbol related to the winning winning combination does not stop on the effective line. By controlling the rotational movement of the reel 31 within the range, the symbol related to the winning combination is controlled so as to be stopped on the effective line as much as possible.

  Conversely, if the reel 31 is stopped immediately at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated, if the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination is stopped on the effective line, the reel 31 is stopped when the reel 31 is stopped. By controlling the rotational movement of the reel 31 within the range of 31 stop control, the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination is controlled so as not to stop on the effective line.

  The above “from the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated until the reel 31 actually stops” is based on the assumption that the operation acceptance of the stop switch 42 is valid. Therefore, since the operation acceptance of the stop switch 42 is invalid during the freeze, the reel 31 does not stop even if the stop switch 42 is operated during the freeze.

In the present embodiment, in a game in which a plurality of winning flags 63a are on, the following control is performed.
First, when the winning combination 63a for special roles and small roles is ON, priority is given to stopping the combination of symbols corresponding to the small roles on the effective line, and the combination of symbols corresponding to the small roles is stopped on the effective line. If it cannot be made, then the combination of symbols corresponding to the special combination is controlled to stop at the active line. Therefore, the special combination and the small combination are not won simultaneously (the same game is won simultaneously).

Similarly, when the winning combination 63a for special role and replay is on, priority is given to stopping the symbol combination corresponding to replay on the active line, and the symbol combination corresponding to replay is stopped on the active line. If it is not possible, the control is then performed so that the symbol combination corresponding to the special combination is stopped on the active line. Therefore, the special combination and the replay are not won simultaneously (the same game is won simultaneously).
In addition, when the winning combination 63a for the special combination and the small combination or replay is on, it is possible to set priority to stop the combination of symbols corresponding to the special combination on the effective line.

  The stop position determination table 65 is provided for each of the ON / OFF states of the winning flag 63a, and determines the stop position of the reel 31 with respect to the position of the reel 31 at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated. It is. Specifically, in each stop position determination table 65, for example, the stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when the 0th symbol (“RP” in the case of the left reel 31) passes through the upper stage (middle stage or lower stage is acceptable). The stop position is determined such that the number of symbols is controlled to move and the number of symbols is stopped in the upper stage.

The stop position determination table 65 includes the following tables.
First, the stop position determination table 65 when one winning flag 63a is on will be described.
The small role 3 table is used when only the winning flag 63a of the small role 3 is on, and within the range of the stop control of the reel 31, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 3 is stopped on the effective line, When the symbol combination corresponding to the small combination 3 cannot be stopped on the active line, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the symbol combination corresponding to any combination is not stopped on the effective line. is there.

  The small role 4A table, the small role 4B table, the small role 4C table, and the replay table are the same as the small role 3 table. That is, in the small role 3 table, “small role 3” is read as “small role 4A”, “small role 4B”, “small role 4C”, and “replay”, respectively.

  As shown in FIG. 2, in all the reels 31, the “bell” symbols are arranged at intervals within 5 symbols. As a result, the reel control means 64 always keeps the “bell” symbol on the desired effective line within the range of the stop control of the reel 31 regardless of which moment the stop switch 42 is operated. Can be stopped. Therefore, when the small combination 3 is won, the reel control means 64 can always stop the combination of symbols “bell”-“bell”-“bell” corresponding to the small combination 3 on the desired effective line. .

  It should be noted that even if the stop switch 42 is operated at any moment when the reel 31 is positioned, a specific symbol can be stopped on a desired effective line within the range of the stop control of the reel 31. (PB) = 1 ”.

  As shown in FIG. 2, in all the reels 31, “RP” symbols are arranged at intervals of 5 symbols or less. As a result, regardless of the moment when the reel 31 is positioned and the stop switch 42 is operated, the reel control means 64 always has the “RP” pattern on the desired effective line within the range of the stop control of the reel 31. Can be stopped. Therefore, at the time of winning the replay, the reel control means 64 can always stop the combination of “RP”-“RP”-“RP” symbols corresponding to the replay on the desired effective line.

When all the winning flags 63a are off, the non-winning table is used.
The non-winning table is used when all the winning flags 63a are off (that is, when a winning combination is not won in a non-internal game or a special game), and combinations of symbols corresponding to any winning combination are stopped on the active line. In order to avoid this, the combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped is determined. Therefore, the non-winning table is not used inside the special role.

When the winning combination of the small combination 1 and the small combination 4A is made, there is a symbol constituting the small combination 1 within the range of the stop control of the corresponding reel 31 when any one of the stop switches 42 is operated first. For example, the small position 1 is selected, and if there is a symbol constituting the small role 4A, the stop position determination table 65 for selecting the small role 4A is used. The stop position determination table 65 determines the stop position of the reel 31 so that the selected small combination is won, and when the selected small combination cannot be won, no combination is won.
Even when the winning combination of the small combination 2 and the small combination 4A is the same as the case of overlapping winning the small combination 1 and the small combination 4A.

When the small combination 3 is won in the internal game of the special combination, the stop position determination table 65 that gives priority to winning the small combination 3 is used. In the stop position determination table 65, when the small role 3 cannot be won, the special role is awarded next, and when the special role cannot be won, neither of the roles is won. The stop position of the reel 31 is determined.
As described above, in the present embodiment, the combination of symbols “BELL”-“BELL”-“BELL” corresponding to the small combination 3 can always be stopped on the desired active line when the small combination 3 is won. For this reason, when the small role 3 is won in the internal game of the special role, the small role 3 always wins, the special role is not won, and the role is not won.

When the special combination and replay are won in the game, and when the replay is won in the internal game of the special combination, the stop position determination table 65 giving priority to winning the replay is used. When the replay cannot be won, the stop position determination table 65 is set so that a special role is awarded next, and when the special role cannot be won, neither of the roles is won. 31 stop positions are defined.
As described above, in the present embodiment, the combination of symbols “RP”-“RP”-“RP” corresponding to the replay can always be stopped on the desired active line when the replay is won. For this reason, when a special combination and replay are won in the game, or when a replay is won in an internal game of a special role, the replay always wins and the special role does not win. There will be no winnings.

When the small combination 1 and the small combination 4A are won in the middle game of the special combination, the stop position determination table 65 giving priority to winning the small combination 1 or the small combination 4 is used. This stop position determination table 65 selects the small combination 1 if there is a symbol constituting the small combination 1 within the range of stop control of the corresponding reel 31 when any one of the stop switches 42 is operated for the first time. If there is a symbol constituting the small combination 4A, the small combination 4A is selected. Then, when the selected small role cannot be won, the special role is awarded next. When the special role cannot be won, the reel 31 is stopped so that neither of the winning points is won. The position is determined.
Even when the small combination 2 and the small combination 4A are won in the special medium internal game, it is the same as when the small combination 1 and the small combination 4A are combined in the special combination internal game.

When the small role 4A is won (single winning) in the BB internal game, the stop position determination table 65 that gives priority to winning the small role 4A is used. The stop position determination table 65 is configured so that when the small role 4A cannot be won, the BB is won next, and when the BB cannot be won, neither of the roles is won. 31 stop positions are defined.
Specifically, for example, it is assumed that the symbol “7” of the left and middle reels 31 is stopped on the active line L1 when the small role 4A is won in the inside game of BB. In this case, if the right stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when the symbols 2 to 6 of the right reel 31 are located on the effective line L1, the symbol “BAR” of the 6th of the right reel 31 stops on the effective line L1. The small role 4A wins. Also, if the right stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when the symbols from No. 13 to No. 17 of the right reel 31 are located on the effective line L1, the No. 17 symbol “7” of the right reel 31 stops at the effective line L1. BB wins. Furthermore, if the right stop switch 42 is operated at an operation timing other than the above, no winning combination is won.
When winning a small role 4B or 4C in BB's internal medium game, or when winning one of small roles 4A to 4C in RB's internal medium game, also won a small role 4A in BB's internal medium game Same as when.

In the present embodiment, the BB or RB and the small roles 4A to 4C are set so as not to win simultaneously in the game.
Specifically, for example, on the right reel 31, the symbol “7” constituting the BB is arranged only at No. 17, and the symbol “BAR” constituting the small part 4A is arranged only at the No. 6. . For this reason, if one of the symbols “7” or “BAR” of the right reel 31 is stopped on the effective line where the symbol “7” of the left and middle reels 31 is stopped, the other can be stopped. Disappear.

Moreover, in this embodiment, BB, RB, the small combination 1, the small combination 2, and the small combinations 4A to 4C are all combinations that miss a winning combination if they do not hold their eyes.
For this reason, in the BB or RB internal game, when the winning combination of the small role 1 or 2 and the small role 4A, either the small role 1, the small role 2 or the small role 4A wins, There is a case where BB or RB wins and a case where a combination is not won.
In addition, when any one of the small roles 4A to 4C is elected alone in the internal game of BB or RB, the case where any of the small roles 4A to 4C wins, the case where BB or RB wins, There may be cases where it is not won.

  In the present embodiment, the BB is not won alone in the non-internal game, and the winning combination 63 in the BB is not turned on, so only the BB winning flag 63a is turned on. There is nothing. RB is the same as BB.

  As described above, in this embodiment, when a special combination (BB or RB) wins, any small combination 4 (4A, 4B or 4C) is always won simultaneously. In the present embodiment, when the special combination wins, the freeze execution mode corresponding to the type of the small combination 4 won simultaneously with the special combination in the game is selected, and during the special game, the freeze execution mode is selected. Freeze is executed at a predetermined execution frequency, and a privilege is given to the player according to the execution of the freeze during the special game.

In the present embodiment, the special combination can be won only when one of the small combinations 4 is won in the internal game of the special combination. At this time, it may be notified that the special combination can be won. However, it is preferable not to notify which small role 4 is won. Accordingly, it is possible to increase the player's expectation by not knowing which freeze execution mode is selected.
Furthermore, the winning of the small role 4 is not carried over even if the small role 4 does not win. For this reason, every time the small role 4 is won in the internal game of the special role and the special role can be won, the type of the small role 4 won simultaneously with the special role can change, so the selected freeze The type of execution mode can change.

In addition, when the small role 4 is won in the internal game of the special role, the small role 4 wins if the symbol of the small role 4 is looked for. Then, you can see which small role 4 is won. However, when it is known which small role 4 is won, if the special role is not won, the game does not shift to the special game, and the freeze execution mode during the special game is not selected.
In this way, every time the small role 4 is won in the internal game and the special role can be won, the type of the selected small role 4 can change, and at the time of looking for the special role symbol I don't know which small role 4 is elected. Here is the fun of the slot machine of this embodiment.

Returning to FIG.
The stop symbol determining means 66 determines a symbol stopped on the active line every time each reel 31 is stopped. Further, when all the reels 31 are stopped, it is determined whether or not the symbol combination corresponding to any combination has stopped on the active line. The stop symbol determination means 66 determines a symbol on the effective line by detecting, for example, an angle or the number of steps when the motor 32 is stopped.

  However, when the stop switch 42 is operated and the stop position is determined using the stop position determination table 65, the stop symbol determination means 66 determines the stop symbol regardless of whether or not the reel 31 has stopped. It is possible.

  The payout means 67 determines that the combination of symbols corresponding to any of the combinations has stopped on the active line when all the reels 31 are stopped by the stop symbol determining unit 66, and when the winning combination of the combination is won, Depending on the winning combination, a predetermined number of medals are paid out to the player, or credits are added.

The special game control means 68 controls the start of the special game, the progress of the game during the special game, and the end of the special game.
During the game, when the symbol combination corresponding to BB stops on the active line, BB is won, and the special game control means 68 controls to start the BB game from the next game.
Similarly, when the combination of symbols corresponding to the RB stops on the active line, an RB win is made, and the special game control means 68 controls to start the RB game from the next game.

  When transitioning to the BB game and the RB game, the winning lottery is performed using the winning lottery table 62D. As a result, almost every game, small role 3 is won. Therefore, in special games, almost every game, 10 medals are paid out.

Further, the BB game end condition of the present embodiment is set such that the number of medals paid out during the BB game is 300 or more. Further, the RB game end condition is set such that the number of medals paid out during the RB game is 100 or more.
For this reason, the special game control means 68 counts the number of medals paid out during the special game, keeps updating the number of coins paid out for each game, and the counted payout number becomes 300 or more. When it is determined, it is determined that the BB game end condition is satisfied, and when it is determined that the number is over 100, it is determined that the RB game end condition is satisfied.

  It should be noted that the BB game or the RB game does not have the end condition that the number of medals paid out exceeds a predetermined number, but for example, the number of games during a BB game or an RB game exceeds a predetermined number, or It is also possible to set an end condition that the number of winning combinations has reached a predetermined number or more.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the main game state controlled on the main control means 50 side has a normal game and a special game, and the normal game has a non-internal medium game and an internal medium game. Furthermore, non-RT games and RT games are included as non-internal games. Then, the main game state control means 70 controls transition between main game states. FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the main game state. The main game state control means 70 shifts the main game state based on the winning of a special role, winning a special role, the number of medals to be paid out during a special game, the appearance of a specific symbol combination (stop game), etc. Control to do.

  First, in a non-RT game and an RT game that are non-internal games, a special role (BB or RB) is drawn. When the special role is won in the non-internal game, and the selected special role is not won in the game, the main game state control means 70 shifts the main game state from the next game to the internal game. To control.

  Further, the main game state control means 70 performs control so that the game in the inside is continued until the selected special combination wins. In the internal game, when the winning special combination wins, the main game state control means 70 controls to shift the main game state from the next game to the special game (BB game or RB game).

  Furthermore, the main game state control means 70 continues the special game until the number of medals paid out during the special game is equal to or more than a predetermined number (300 for BB game, 100 for RB game). Control. When the number of medals to be paid out during the special game becomes equal to or greater than the predetermined number, the main game state control means 70 controls to shift the main game state from the next game to the RT game. Further, the main game state control means 70 controls the RT game to continue until a specific symbol combination appears. Then, when a specific symbol combination appears in the RT game, the main game state control means 70 controls to shift the main game state from the next game to the non-RT game.

  Here, when the right to execute an AT game is granted during a special game, the sub game state control means 85 performs control so that an AT game is executed a predetermined number of times after the special game ends. If it does so, it will become RT game and AT game (ART game) after completion | finish of a special game. In addition, the sub-gaming state control means 85 does not cause a particular symbol combination to appear as a condition for transitioning to a non-RT game (RT game end condition) in order to win a winning small role during AT games. The pressing order of the stop switch 42 or the operation timing is notified. If the player operates the stop switch 42 in accordance with the notification, the player can win the winning small role, and thereby increase the number of medals, and prevent a specific symbol combination from appearing. As a result, transition to non-RT games (termination of RT games) can be avoided. Then, the sub game state control means 85 performs control so as to end the AT game and shift the sub game state to the non-AT game when the AT game is executed a predetermined number of times. Then, the pressing order or operation timing of the stop switch 42 is not notified, and in any case, a specific symbol combination appears, and the main gaming state shifts to a non-RT game.

  On the other hand, when the AT game execution right is not granted during the special game, the sub game state control means 85 does not execute the AT game (the sub game state is set to a non-AT game) after the special game ends. To control. If it does so, it will become a normal RT game which is not an ART game. In this case, since the pressing order of the stop switch 42 or the operation timing is not notified, a combination of specific symbols appears, and the main gaming state shifts to a non-RT game.

  As described above, the main gaming state control means 70 determines whether or not the main gaming state transition condition is satisfied in each main gaming state, and when determining that the main gaming state transition condition is satisfied, Control is performed so as to shift to a predetermined main game state.

Returning to FIG.
The main control means 50 includes freeze control means 75.
The freeze control means 75 controls a freeze that does not accept the operation of the operation switch, that is, the operations of the bet switch 40, the start switch 41, and the stop switch 42, and the insertion operation of the medal from the medal insertion slot 43 for a predetermined time. It is.

Here, “freeze” (also referred to as “freeze production” or “freeze operation”) means that the function of the operation switch of the gaming machine (the slot machine 10 in the present embodiment) is temporarily stopped, and more specifically. For example,
(1) accepting game media (in this embodiment, medals), or setting the operation of the bet switch 40 for determining the number of inserted (betting) game media credited in advance to a paused state;
(2) Suspending the operation of the start switch 41 for starting the game,
(3) The operation of the stop switch 42 (stop operation of the reel 31) is temporarily stopped.

  Further, as a mode in which the function of the operation switch is temporarily stopped, a signal based on the player's operation (for example, a signal from a sensor that detects the insertion of a game medium, the bet switch 40, the start switch 41, or the stop switch 42 For example, not receiving a signal transmitted from the operation switch based on the operation for a predetermined period. In this case, when a signal transmitted based on the player's operation within a predetermined period is received, control processing for invalidating the received signal is performed, or transmission based on the player's operation is performed within the predetermined period. Even when the received signal is detected, the receiving process itself is not performed.

Furthermore, when a signal transmitted based on the player's operation is received within a predetermined period, the signal is received based on the player's operation, but the operation switch control process is performed based on the received signal. May be executed without starting for a predetermined period, and starting control processing based on a signal received after the predetermined period has elapsed.
Furthermore, regarding the freeze of the start switch 41, even if the start switch 41 is operated, the rotation of the reel 31 is not started for a predetermined period, and the role lottery is not started for a predetermined period.

In this embodiment, as a mode in a special game (BB game or RB game), there are a plurality of types of freeze execution modes with different freeze execution frequencies. Furthermore, when the special combination (BB or RB) wins, the freeze execution mode corresponding to the type of the small combination 4 (4A, 4B, or 4C) won simultaneously with the special combination in the game is selected. During the special game, the freeze is executed at an execution frequency corresponding to the freeze execution mode, and a privilege is given to the player according to the execution of the freeze during the special game.
For this reason, the execution frequency of the freezing during the special game can be changed according to the lottery result of the combination at the time of winning the special combination, and a privilege can be given to the player accordingly.

In this embodiment, there are a plurality of types of freeze modes. When the special combination wins, a freeze mode corresponding to the freeze execution mode is selected, and the freeze is executed based on the selected freeze mode.
For this reason, the freezing at the time of winning the special role is not only a directing, suggesting the freeze execution mode during the special game according to the mode of freezing at the special role winning, and further suggesting the frequency of the freeze during the special game. As a result, it is possible to suggest a privilege to be given to the player.

  Specifically, in the present embodiment, there are three freeze execution modes A, B, and C as freeze execution modes. And the mode selection means 75a selects the freeze execution mode in a special game when a special combination wins.

FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining selection of the freeze execution mode.
As shown in FIG. 7, in this embodiment, the mode selection means 75a selects the freeze execution mode A as the mode during the special game when the special role is won and the small role 4A is elected in the game. select. Similarly, if the small combination 4B is won in the game, the freeze execution mode B is selected. If the small combination 4C is selected in the game, the freeze execution mode C is selected.
In addition, during the special game, the freeze control means 75 performs control so that the freeze execution mode selected at the time of winning the special game is continued until the special game ends. For example, if the freeze execution mode A is selected at the time of winning the special role, the freeze control means 75 continues the freeze execution mode A until the special game ends. For this reason, the freeze execution mode does not shift during the special game.

  In the present embodiment, as the freeze mode, the freeze mode A (only the left reel 31 rotates in reverse), the freeze mode B (the left and middle two reels 31 rotate in reverse order from left to middle), and freeze There are three modes C (three reels 31 rotate in the reverse order of left → middle → right). Then, the freeze mode selection means 75b selects any one of a plurality of types of freeze modes according to the freeze execution mode selected by the mode selection means 75a when the special role is won, and freeze execution means 75d executes a freeze based on the freeze mode selected by the freeze mode selection means 75b when the special combination wins.

FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a freeze mode and its selection probability.
As shown in FIG. 8, in this embodiment, when the mode selection means 75a selects the freeze execution mode A when the special role is won, the freeze aspect selection means 75b selects the freeze aspect A with a probability of 1/1. To do. At this time, the freeze modes B and C are not selected. If the mode selection means 75a selects the freeze execution mode B when the special combination is won, the freeze aspect selection means 75b selects the freeze aspect B with a probability of 1/1. At this time, the freeze modes A and C are not selected. Furthermore, when the mode selection means 75a selects the freeze execution mode C when the special combination wins, the freeze mode selection means 75b selects the freeze mode C with a probability of 1/1. At this time, the freeze modes A and B are not selected. Thus, in the present embodiment, the freeze execution mode and the freeze mode are in one-to-one correspondence.

  For example, it is assumed that when the special combination wins, the small combination 4C is won in the game, and the mode selection means 75a selects the freeze execution mode C as the mode in the special game. Then, the freeze mode selection means 75b selects the freeze mode C. The freeze execution means 75d does not accept the operation of the operation switch for 5 seconds after the special role is won and before the special game is started. Freezing is performed in such a manner that the reel 31 is rotated in the reverse order of left → middle → right. When 5 seconds have elapsed, the freeze execution means 75d stops the reverse rotation of the three reels 31, and then the main control means 50 accepts the operation of the operation switch. Thereby, a special game is started.

  When the special game is started, the freeze lottery means 75c performs a freeze lottery to determine whether or not to execute the freeze with a winning probability corresponding to the freeze execution mode every time the start switch 41 is operated. Then, when winning in the freeze lottery, the freeze execution means 75d executes the freeze in the freeze mode according to the freeze execution mode. In this way, the freeze is executed at an execution frequency according to the freeze execution mode.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing the freeze execution mode and the win probability of the freeze lottery.
As shown in FIG. 9, in the present embodiment, during the special game, if the freeze execution mode A, win the freeze lottery with a probability of 1/30, and if the freeze execution mode B, the probability of 1/20 In the case of the freeze execution mode C, the freeze lottery is won with a probability of 1/10.

  For example, it is assumed that when the special combination wins, the small combination 4C is won in the game, and the mode selection means 75a selects the freeze execution mode C as the mode in the special game. In this case, when the special game is started, the freeze lottery means 75c performs the freeze lottery with a winning probability of 1/10 corresponding to the freeze execution mode C every time the start switch 41 is operated. When winning by the freeze lottery, the freeze execution means 75d does not accept the operation of the operation switch for 5 seconds after the start switch 41 is operated, and in the meantime, the freeze mode C according to the freeze execution mode C. On the basis of the above, freeze is performed in such a manner that the three reels 31 are reversely rotated in the order of left → middle → right. When 5 seconds have elapsed since the start switch 41 was operated, the freeze execution means 75d stops the reverse rotation of the three reels 31. Thereafter, the reel control means 64 starts to rotate the three reels 31 in the forward direction. When the rotation of the three reels 31 reaches a constant speed state, the main control means 50 operates the stop switch 42 as an operation switch. To accept.

Further, when a freeze is executed during a special game, a privilege is given to the player.
In the present embodiment, when the first freeze is executed during the special game, an AT game execution right is granted as a privilege for the player. At this time, an initial value of the number of games of the AT game is determined. Furthermore, each time a second or subsequent freeze is executed during a special game, an additional value for the number of games of the AT game is determined as a benefit for the player, and the determined additional value is added to the number of games for the AT game (addition) )

Returning to FIG.
In FIG. 1, the sub control means 80 includes sub game state control means 85.
The sub game state control means 85 controls the sub game state (non-AT game or AT game). The AT game number count means 85a, the AT game number addition means 85b, the AT game number subtraction means 85c, the AT initial stage Value determining means 85d and AT addition value determining means 85e are provided.

The AT initial value determining means 85d determines an initial value of the number of games of AT games.
As described above, in the present embodiment, the sub game state control means 85 grants the right to execute an AT game when the first freeze is executed during the special game. Then, the AT initial value determining means 85d determines the initial value of the number of games of the AT game.
In the present embodiment, the initial value of the number of games of the AT game is fixed to “50”.

The AT game number counting means 85a counts the number of AT games.
Further, the AT game number adding means 85b sets (sets) the determined initial value to the count value of the AT game number counting means 85a when the initial value of the AT game number of times is determined. When the added value of the number of games is determined, the determined added value is added to the count value of the AT game number counting means 85a.
Furthermore, the AT game frequency subtracting means 85c subtracts the count value of the AT game frequency counting means 85a by 1 each time a game is played during an AT game.

  That is, when the initial value of the AT game number of times is determined by the AT initial value determining means 85d, the determined initial value is set as the count value of the AT game number counting means 85a. Further, every time an AT game is played, the count value of the AT game number counting means 85a is decremented by one.

The AT addition value determining means 85e determines an addition value of the number of games of AT games.
As described above, in the present embodiment, the AT addition value determining means 85e determines the addition value of the number of games of the AT game every time the second and subsequent freezes are executed during the special game.
In the present embodiment, the added value of the number of games of the AT game is fixed to “20”.

  In addition, every time an added value is determined by the AT added value determining means 85e, the AT game number adding means 85b adds the determined addition to the AT game number of times, that is, the count value of the AT game number counting means 85a. Add the values. As a result, the number of AT games is added (added).

  In this way, when the first freeze is executed during the special game, the right to execute the AT game is granted, the initial value of the number of games of the AT game is determined, and the second and subsequent times during the special game are determined. Each time the freeze is executed, an addition value of the number of games of the AT game is determined, and the determined addition value is added (added) to the number of games of the AT game.

  As described above, when the right to execute an AT game is granted during a special game, the sub-game state control means 85 performs control so that the AT game is executed after the special game ends. Thereafter, when the count value of the AT game number counting means 85a becomes 0, the sub gaming state control means 85 controls to end the AT game and shift the sub gaming state to a non-AT game.

  The main control means 50 controls the sub-control means 80 to transmit various information (commands). Information to be transmitted includes information that a medal has been inserted, information that the start switch 41 has been operated, information on a lottery result (winning combination), information that rotation of the reel 31 has started, Information indicating that the stop switch 42 has been operated, information indicating that the reel 31 has been stopped, information regarding the stop position of each reel 31 (design stopped on the active line), information on winning combinations, information on paying out medals, main game Information on status (normal game, RT game, internal game, special game), information on freeze (start and end of freeze, and information on freeze mode) and the like.

Returning to FIG.
In FIG. 1, the sub control unit 80 includes an effect output control unit 81.
The effect output control means 81 controls the output of the effects from the lamp 21, the speaker 22, and the image display device 23 described above.

  The effect output control means 81 selects an effect by lottery using a software random number based on the lottery result of the combination by the combination lottery means 61 at the start of the game or the like for each game. Specifically, as the game progresses, at what timing (when the start switch 41 is operated, when each stop switch 42 is operated, etc.), what effect is output (how the lamp 21 is operated) Whether to turn on, blink, or turn off, what kind of sound is output from the speaker 22, what kind of image is displayed on the image display device 23, and the like. Then, an effect is output according to this selection.

The production output from the lamp 21, the speaker 22, and the image display device 23 is controlled by the sub-control unit 80, not the main control unit 50.
However, the main control means 50 controls the operation switch operation acceptance and the freeze associated with the rotation and stop of the reel 31.
However, when the freeze is executed, a signal to that effect is transmitted from the main control means 50 to the sub-control means 80, and image display and the like during the execution of the freeze are controlled by the sub-control means 80. In this way, the effect output control means 81 displays an effect image corresponding to the freeze mode on the image display device 23.

  Similarly, when an AT game execution right is granted, the effect output control means 81 displays an image on the image display device 23 to the effect that the AT game execution right is granted. In addition, each time the added value of the number of games of the AT game is determined, the effect output control means 81 displays on the image display device 23 that the number of games of the AT game is added and the number of games to be added. .

FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing related to freezing.
In step S11 of FIG. 10, the main game state control means 70 continues to determine whether or not the special combination has won. When it is determined that the special combination has won, the process proceeds to the next step S12.
In step S12, when the special combination wins, the freeze control means 75 determines whether or not the small combination 4A has been won in the game. If it is determined that the small role 4A has been won, the process proceeds to the next step S13. On the other hand, when it is determined that the small role 4A is not won, the process proceeds to step S14.

In step S13, the mode selection unit 75a selects the freeze execution mode A, the freeze mode selection unit 75b selects the freeze mode A corresponding to the freeze execution mode A, and the freeze execution unit 75d is based on the freeze mode A. To freeze. Then, the process proceeds to step S17.
In step S14, when the special combination wins, the freeze control means 75 determines whether or not the small combination 4B has been won in the game. If it is determined that the small role 4B has been won, the process proceeds to the next step S15. On the other hand, when it is determined that the small role 4B is not won, the process proceeds to step S16.

In step S15, the mode selection unit 75a selects the freeze execution mode B, the freeze mode selection unit 75b selects the freeze mode B corresponding to the freeze execution mode B, and the freeze execution unit 75d is based on the freeze mode B. To freeze. Then, the process proceeds to step S17.
In step S16, the mode selection unit 75a selects the freeze execution mode C, the freeze mode selection unit 75b selects the freeze mode C corresponding to the freeze execution mode C, and the freeze execution unit 75d is based on the freeze mode C. To freeze. Then, the process proceeds to step S17.

In step S17, the freeze lottery means 75c performs a freeze lottery with a winning probability corresponding to the freeze execution mode. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S18.
In step S18, the freeze control means 75 determines whether or not the winning lottery has been won. If it is determined that the winning lottery is won, the process proceeds to the next step S19. On the other hand, when it is determined that the winning lottery is not won, the process skips step S19 and step S20 and proceeds to step S21.

In step S19, the freeze execution means 75d executes the freeze in the freeze mode corresponding to the freeze execution mode. Then, the process proceeds to the next step S20.
In step S20, the sub-gaming state control means 85 grants an AT game execution right as a benefit to the player (in the case of the first freeze during a special game), or adds (adds) the number of games of the AT game. ) (In the case of a second or subsequent freeze during a special game). Then, the process proceeds to next Step S21.

  In step S21, the main game state control means 70 determines whether or not the special game has ended. Here, when it is determined that the special game has not ended, the process returns to step S17. On the other hand, when it is determined that the special game has ended, the processing according to this flowchart is ended.

Second Embodiment
Subsequently, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.
In the first embodiment, in the combination lottery tables 62 </ b> A and 62 </ b> B, the special combination is always set to be repeatedly won by replay. For this reason, in the game won for the special role, the replay that was won at the same time as the special role always wins, and the special role never wins.
On the other hand, in the second embodiment, in the combination lottery tables 62A and 62B, the special combination is set to overlap with the small combinations 4A to 4C. For this reason, the special role may win in the game selected as the special role.

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing the role lottery tables 62A and 62B (only the winning areas of BB and RB) in the second embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 11, in the present embodiment, in the combination lottery table 62 </ b> A, BB is set so as to overlap with the small combinations 4 </ b> A to 4 </ b> C, and RB also overlaps with the small combinations 4 </ b> A to 4 </ b> C. Is set to The role lottery table 62B is set in the same manner as the role lottery table 62A.

For this reason, in the present embodiment, the special combination (BB or RB) and the small combination 4 (4A, 4B or 4C) are present in the non-internal and non-RT games of the normal game and the non-internal and normal games of the normal game. Double winning in the game.
In the game in which the special role and the small role 4 are selected and won, priority is given to winning the small role 4, and if the small role 4 cannot be won, the special role will be awarded next. When no special combination can be won, the control is performed so that no combination is won.
Therefore, in the game where the special combination and the small combination 4 are won, there are a case where the small combination 4 wins, a case where the special combination wins, and a case where neither combination wins. Furthermore, the special role and the small role 4 are not won simultaneously in the game.

Also, if the special role is not won, the winning of the special role is carried over to the next game. In the internal game of the special combination, the special combination can be won when the small combination 4 is won, as in the first embodiment.
As described above, also in this embodiment, when the special combination wins, the small combination 4 is always elected. Then, when the special role is won, the freeze execution mode corresponding to the type of the small role 4 won at the same time as the special role in the game is selected, and the freeze is performed at the execution frequency according to the freeze execution mode during the special game. Is executed, and a privilege is given to the player in accordance with the execution of the freeze during the special game, as in the first embodiment.

<Third Embodiment>
Subsequently, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described.
In the first embodiment, in the combination lottery tables 62 </ b> A and 62 </ b> B, the special combination is always set to be repeatedly won by replay. For this reason, in the game won for the special role, the replay that was won at the same time as the special role always wins, and the special role never wins. In the combination lottery table 62C, the small combination 1 and the small combination 2 are always set to overlap with the small combination 4A and have no non-winning area. For this reason, when the special combination wins, any small combination 4 (4A, 4B or 4C) was always won at the same time.
On the other hand, in the third embodiment, in the combination lottery tables 62A and 62B, the special combination is set so as to be won alone. For this reason, the special role may be awarded in the game selected as the special role. Further, in the combination lottery table 62C, the small combination 1 and the small combination 2 are each set to have a non-winning area as well as winning independently. For this reason, a special role may be won in a game in which a small role 1 or a small role 2 is elected alone in a game inside the special role or a game in which a role is not won.

FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating a role lottery table 62 (62A to 62D) in the third embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 12, in this embodiment, in the winning lottery table 62A, each of BB and RB is set to win independently. The role lottery table 62B is set in the same manner as the role lottery table 62A.
Also, as shown in FIG. 12, in the present embodiment, in the combination lottery table 62C, the small combination 1 and the small combination 2 are each set to have a non-winning area as well as being won independently.

Here, the BB table is used in the game won in the BB or the game in which the combination is not won in the BB internal game. This BB table stops the combination of symbols corresponding to BB on the effective line within the range of the stop control of the reel 31, and when the combination of symbols corresponding to BB cannot be stopped on the effective line, The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the combination of symbols corresponding to this combination is not stopped on the effective line.
The RB table is the same as the BB table. The RB table corresponds to a table obtained by replacing “BB” with “RB” in the BB table.
For this reason, in the present embodiment, the special role may be won in the game won for the special role and the game in which the special role is not won in the internal game of the special role.

Further, in a game in which a small role 1 or a small role 2 is won (single winning) in an internal medium game of a special role, a stop position determination table 65 that gives priority to winning the small role 1 or the small role 2 is used. The stop position determination table 65 allows a small role 1 or a small role 2 to be won, and if a small role 1 or a small role 2 cannot be won, then a special role is awarded. When no winning can be won, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that no winning combination is won.
As shown in FIG. 2, the small combination 1 and the small combination 2 are arranged at intervals exceeding the range of stop control of the reel 31 (5 symbols) in at least one location of the at least one reel 31. As a result, you wo n’t win if you do n’t take the lead. For this reason, in this embodiment, the special combination may win in the game in which the small combination 1 or the small combination 2 is won in the internal game of the special combination.

  Further, in the present embodiment, in addition to the freeze execution modes A to C as the mode during the special game, the freeze execution mode D (the winning probability of the freeze lottery is 1/40) and the freeze aspect A In addition to .about.C, it has a freeze mode D (three reels 31 are reversely rotated simultaneously).

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the mode selection means 75a executes the freeze execution mode A if the small role 4A is won in the game when the special role is won, and executes the freeze if the small role 4B is won in the game. In mode B, the freeze execution mode C is selected when the small role 4C is won in the game, and the freeze execution mode D is selected in other cases.
In other words, when a special role is won in a game in which the special role is won, or when a special role is not won, or when a special role is won in a small role 1 or a small role 2 in a special role, the special role is When winning, the mode selection means 75a selects the freeze execution mode D.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the freeze mode selection unit 75b is set to the freeze mode A when the mode selection unit 75a selects the freeze execution mode A and the mode selection unit 75a selects the freeze execution mode B at the time of winning the special role. Selects freeze mode B, freeze mode C when mode selection means 75a selects freeze execution mode C, and freeze mode D when mode selection means 75a selects freeze execution mode D.

Also, if the special role is not won, the winning of the special role is carried over to the next game. Then, when the small role 1, the small role 2 or the small roles 4A to 4C are won in the inside game of the special role, or when the special role is not won, the special role can be won.
Then, when the special role is won, the freeze execution mode corresponding to the type of the small role 4 won at the same time as the special role in the game is selected, and the freeze in the freeze mode according to the selected freeze execution mode is executed. As in the first and second embodiments, during the special game, the freeze is executed with the execution frequency according to the freeze execution mode, and the privilege is given to the player according to the execution of the freeze during the special game. is there.

<Fourth embodiment>
Subsequently, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described.
In the fourth embodiment, the composition of the combinations in the combination lottery tables 62A to 62C (combination of combinations of types and duplicate winning combinations) is the same as that in the third embodiment, but the small combinations 4A to 4C in the combination lottery tables 62A to 62C. Is different from the third embodiment.

FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating a role lottery table 62 (62A to 62D) in the fourth embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 13, in this embodiment, the winning probabilities of the small roles 4A to 4C in the winning lottery tables 62A to 62C are set to be significantly higher than those of the third embodiment.
In any of the third and fourth embodiments, the winning probabilities of the small combination 1, the small combination 2, the small combination 3, and the small combinations 4A to 4C are set to be the same in the combination lottery tables 62A to 62C. .

Here, in the third embodiment, in the internal game of the special role (the role lottery table 62C is used), the winning probability of the small roles 4A to 4C is relatively low, and the winning probability of the replay is relatively high. For this reason, replays frequently won and special roles were difficult to win.
On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the winning probability of the small roles 4A to 4C is relatively high and the winning probability of the replay is relatively low in the internal middle game of the special role. For this reason, special roles are easy to win.

  Then, when the special role is won, the freeze execution mode corresponding to the type of the small role 4 won at the same time as the special role in the game is selected, and the freeze in the freeze mode according to the selected freeze execution mode is executed. As in the first to third embodiments, during the special game, the freeze is executed with the execution frequency according to the freeze execution mode, and the privilege is given to the player according to the execution of the freeze during the special game. is there.

<Fifth Embodiment>
FIG. 14 is a diagram showing combinations of types of winning combinations, the number of payouts, and symbols in the fifth embodiment, and corresponds to FIG. 4 of the first embodiment.
In the fifth embodiment, the effective lines are four symbol combination lines L1, L2, L4, and L5 in FIG. 3, and the symbol combination line L3 (horizontal lower line) is set as an invalid line. .
The symbol arrangement of each reel 31 is the same as that in the first embodiment (FIG. 2).
In the following fifth embodiment, parts that are not particularly described are the same as those in the first to fourth embodiments.

In the fifth embodiment, an ART (AT and RT) game is provided. During the ART game, the operation information of the stop switch 42 is notified, and if the stop switch 42 is operated according to the operation information, the winning rate of the winning combination can be increased. is there. In particular, the ART game of the fifth embodiment is the push order AT. The push order AT is a symbol stop mode that is more advantageous to the player when the push order of the stop switch 42 is correct than when the push order is incorrect.
Moreover, the push order of this embodiment is three choices, and one of the left first stop, the middle first stop, and the right first stop is correct, and the other two are incorrect. Is set.
However, the order of pressing is not limited to this, and the pressing order may be divided into six types: left middle right, left and right middle, middle left and right, middle right left, right left middle, and right middle left. It is also possible to set the correct answer pressing order, or two for the correct answer pressing order and four for the incorrect answer pressing order.

As shown in FIG. 14, the combination of symbols of the small role 3A is “any”-“bell”-“any”, and when winning the small role 3A (when overlapping with other small roles 3), If the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is correct, the “bell” stops in the middle when the middle reel 31 stops, and the combination of the symbols of the small role 3A stops on the three active lines (L1, L4, L5). . Thereby, the number of medals paid out in the game is 4 × 3 lines = 12.
On the other hand, when the pressing order is incorrect, the “bell” stops at the upper stage when the middle reel 31 stops, and the combination of the symbols of the small role 3A stops on one effective line L2. Thereby, the number of medals paid out in the game is 4 × 1 line = 4.

  Further, the small role 3B and the small role 3C are roles (control role) for overlapping with the small role 3A and are not actually stopped on the active line in this embodiment. However, when a certain condition is satisfied, it is also possible to control the small combination 3B or the small combination 3C to win.

  The special combination includes BB and RB as in the first embodiment, but the combination of symbols is different. In the fifth embodiment, each of BB and RB is composed of a combination of symbols including “7” and “BAR”. The reason for this setting is that in the replay described later, “7” -match replay and “BAR” -match replay are provided.

Replay has 11 types of replay A to replay K. Here, the replay A is the same as the replay of the first embodiment.
Further, the replay B is a replay for promoting a gaming state (to a gaming state advantageous to the player) by winning a prize.
Furthermore, the replay C is a replay for dropping the gaming state (to a gaming state disadvantageous to the player) by winning a prize.
Further, the replay D is used for control, is used for overlapping winning of a plurality of replays, and is not an actual replay for winning. However, it may be set so that a prize is awarded in the same manner as the small role 3B.

The replays E and F are replays for starting the ART game. The replay E is set to “7” and the replay F is set to “BAR”. When these wins, the game shifts to an ART game (RT2 game described later).
Furthermore, the replay G is a replay that overlaps with the replay E and is a replay that is won when the replay E cannot be won. For this reason, a plurality of combinations of symbols of the replay G are provided.

Similarly, the replay H is a replay that overlaps with the replay F, and is a replay that is won when the replay F cannot be won. For this reason, a plurality of combinations of symbols of the replay H are provided.
In the replay G and H symbols, “/” means “or”. For example, “7 / BAR / watermelon” which is the left reel 31 of the replay G means that any of these three types of symbols may be used.

  Furthermore, replays I, J, and K are roles having the same roles as the small roles 4A, 4B, and 4C of the first embodiment (FIG. 4), respectively, and will be won by overlapping with other replays as will be described in detail later. When replays are made and a replay that has been selected and won wins, these replays I, J, and K are controlled not to win (especially in this embodiment, they are not always won).

FIG. 15 is a diagram showing the game state of the normal game according to the present embodiment and the types of winning combinations. In FIG. 15, “◯” means that a lottery is performed, and “x” means that a lottery is not performed.
In the fifth embodiment, the game state includes a normal game and a special game. Special games are a BB game and an RB game (similar to the first embodiment). Further, the normal game has a non-internal medium game and an internal medium game. The non-internal medium game is a game state in which BB or RB is not won, and the internal medium game is a game state in which BB or RB has been won but not won yet.

The non-internal medium game includes a non-RT game, an RT1 game, and an RT2 game. Here, the non-RT game corresponds to a non-ART game, the RT1 game corresponds to an ART preparation (a previous game state for shifting to an ART game), and the RT2 game corresponds to an ART game.
As shown in FIG. 15, BB and RB are drawn in a non-internal game, but BB and RB are not drawn in an internal game. In any game, a small combination 1 and a small combination 2 are drawn.
In FIG. 15, BB and RB are displayed together, but are drawn separately. The same applies to the small roles 1 and 2.

About replay, the winning combination which is drawn according to the gaming state is different.
As shown in FIG. 15, in the replay, a single winning of Replay A is drawn in any game state during a normal game.
In a non-RT game, in addition to the single winning of Replay A, a duplicate winning of Replay A + B and Replay A + B + D is drawn. In FIG. 15, “+” means that a plurality of winning combinations are won simultaneously (overlapping) in the game. For example, “Replay A + B + D” means that three types of replays of Replay A, Replay B, and Replay D are won in duplicate.

In RT1 game, Replay A + B and Replay A + B + D are not drawn, but in addition to Replay A alone, Replay C + E + G + I, one of J, K, Replay C + F + H + I, one of J, K, Replay A + C , Replay A + C + D overlapping winnings are drawn.
Furthermore, in the RT2 game, in addition to the single winning of Replay A, each of the overlapping winnings of Replay A + C and Replay A + C + D is drawn.
Further, for the small roles 3A to 3C, there are three kinds of winning roles: small role 3A + 3B, small role 3A + 3C, small role 3A + 3B + 3C, and lottery is drawn in any gaming state.

FIG. 16 is a diagram illustrating the relationship between the pressing order of the stop switch 42 and the winning combination at the time of replay single and double winning, and double winning of small role 3. In the fifth embodiment, since there are three types of push orders, winning combinations are distributed according to the push order.
When these replay overlap wins and small win 3 overlap wins, the reel control means 64 receives the operation signal transmitted from the stop switch 42, and which stop switch 42 is operated first. Is detected (push order detection means), and the reel 31 is controlled to stop based on the push order.

  First, when the replay A is independently won, the reel 31 is controlled to stop so that the replay A is always won regardless of the pressing order. Here, the combination of symbols of Replay A is “RP”-“RP”-“RP”, and the symbols of “RP” are arranged at intervals of 5 symbols or less for all the reels 31. Within the range of stop control (the maximum number of moving symbols is within 4 symbols), it is possible to always stop “RP” at a desired effective line. That is, the symbol of “RP” is “PB (the rate of drawing of the symbol to the effective line) = 1”. Thereby, the replay A is “PB = 1”.

In addition, when the replay A + B overlaps, the reel 31 is controlled to stop so that the replay B is won at the middle first stop and the replay A is won at the left or right first stop.
Here, since the symbols of “bell” are arranged at intervals of 5 symbols or less for all the reels 31, the symbol of “bell” is “PB = 1”. Therefore, the replay B in which the symbol of the right reel 31 is set to “bell” can always be stopped at a desired effective line (PB = 1).
Note that the replay C in which the symbol of the left reel 31 is “bell” and the replay D in which the symbol of the left and right reels 31 is “bell” are also “PB = 1”.

Furthermore, when the replay A + B + D is repeatedly won, the reel 31 is controlled to stop so that the replay B is won at the right first stop and the replay A is won at the left or middle first stop.
Therefore, Replay B wins at the time of the first stop during the replay A + B overlapping win and the right first stop at the time of the replay A + B + D overlapping win, and Replay A wins at other times.

  Further, when one of the replays C + E + G + I, J, and K is won, the reel 31 is stopped so that the replay C is won at the left or middle first stop and the replay E or G is won at the first right stop. Control. In particular, at the time of the right first stop, priority is given to winning the replay E, and when the replay E cannot be won, the replay G is controlled to win.

Replay C is “PB = 1” as described above. Therefore, when replay C + E + G + I, J, or K is overlapped, if replay C is at the left or middle first stop, replay C is always selected. You can win a prize.
On the other hand, in order to win the replay E at the right first stop, it is not possible to win if the operation timing of the stop switch 42 is not correct. The symbol combination of Replay E is “7”-“7”-“7”, but as shown in FIG. 2, the symbol “7” has two locations on the left reel 31, the middle and right reels 31. Then, it is arranged only in one place. Therefore, the symbol “7” cannot be stopped on the effective line unless the stop switch 42 is operated at the operation timing when the symbol “7” stops on the effective line. As a result, the replay E is “PB ≠ 1”.

When the right reel 31 is stopped at the time of the correct answer (at the time of the first stop on the right) when pushing one of the replays C + E + G + I, J, or K, and the winning combination is correct, The symbol “7” is stopped on the active line. Otherwise, “RP” is stopped at the active line.
When the right reel 31 is stopped (right first stop) and “7” is stopped on the active line, if the second stop is left, the symbol “7” is enabled when the left reel 31 stops. When the line can be stopped, the symbol “7” is stopped on the active line. In other cases, “RP” is stopped at the active line.

  Further, at the time of the middle third stop, when the symbol “7” can be stopped at the effective line when the middle reel 31 is stopped, the symbol “7” is stopped at the effective line. In other cases, “RP” is stopped at the active line. As a result, when the symbol “7” is stopped on the active line at the time of the first stop on the right, “7”-“7”-“7”, “RP”-“7”-“7”, “RP” -Since "RP"-"7", "7"-"RP"-"7", the replay E or the replay G stops at the active line.

On the other hand, when “RP” is stopped on the active line at the time of the right first stop when one of the replays C + E + G + I, J, and K is won, when the left and middle reels 31 are stopped, “7”, “BAR” ”Or“ Watermelon ”is stopped at the active line.
As shown in FIG. 2, in the left and middle reels 31, any one of the three types of symbols is arranged at an interval within 5 symbols. Therefore, when “RP” is stopped on the active line at the first stop on the right, “7 / BAR / Watermelon” − “7 / BAR / Watermelon” − “RP”, which is a combination of symbols of Replay G, It can be stopped by “PB = 1”.
As described above, at the time of pushing correct answer when one of the replays C + E + G + I, J, and K is won, either one of the replays E or G can always be stopped on the active line.
The above reel 31 stop control is the same when replay C + E + G + I is won, when replay C + E + G + J is won, and when replay C + E + G + K is won.

In addition, when one of the replays C + F + H + I, J, and K is won, the reel 31 is stopped so that the replay C is won at the left or middle first stop and the replay F or H is won at the first right stop. Control. In particular, at the time of the right first stop, priority is given to winning the replay F, and when the replay F cannot be won, the replay H is controlled to win.
Here, similarly to the above, if the pressing order is left or during the middle first stop, the replay C can always be won.

  On the other hand, in order to win the replay F at the right first stop, it is not possible to win if the operation timing of the stop switch 42 is not correct. The combination of symbols of Replay F is “BAR”-“BAR”-“BAR”, but as shown in FIG. 2, the symbol of “BAR” has two locations on the left reel 31, and the middle and right reels 31. Then, it is arranged only in one place. Therefore, the symbol “BAR” cannot be stopped on the effective line unless the stop switch 42 is operated at the operation timing when the symbol “BAR” stops on the active line. As a result, the replay F is “PB ≠ 1”.

  When the right reel 31 is stopped at the time of the correct answer (at the time of the first stop on the right) when pushing one of the replays C + F + H + I, J, K in the overlapping win, the symbol “BAR” can be stopped on the active line. The symbol “BAR” is stopped on the active line. Otherwise, stop the “bell” at the active line.

  When “BAR” is stopped on the active line when the right reel 31 is stopped (when the right first stop is performed), if the second stop is left, the symbol “BAR” is enabled when the left reel 31 stops. When the line can be stopped, the symbol “BAR” is stopped on the active line. In other cases, “RP” is stopped at the active line. Further, at the time of the middle third stop, when the symbol “BAR” can be stopped at the effective line when the middle reel 31 is stopped, the symbol “BAR” is stopped at the effective line. In other cases, “RP” is stopped at the active line. As a result, when the symbol “BAR” stops on the active line at the time of the first stop on the right, “BAR”-“BAR”-“BAR”, “RP”-“BAR”-“BAR”, “RP”- Since either “RP”-“BAR”, “BAR”-“RP”-“BAR”, the replay F or the replay H stops at the active line.

On the other hand, when the “bell” is stopped on the active line at the time of the first right stop when any one of the replays C + F + H + I, J, and K is won, the left and middle reels 31 are the same as when the above replay C + E + G is won. At the time of stopping, any one of “7”, “BAR” or “watermelon” is stopped on the effective line.
As described above, at the time of pushing correct answer when any one of the replays C + F + H + I, J, and K is won, one of the replays F and H can always be stopped on the active line.
The above-described reel 31 stop control is the same when replay C + F + H + I is won, when replay C + F + H + J is won, and when replay C + F + H + K is won.

In addition, when the replay A + C is overlapped, the reel 31 is controlled to stop so that the replay A is won at the middle first stop and the replay C is won at the left or right first stop.
Furthermore, when the replay A + C + D overlaps, the reel 31 is controlled to stop so that the replay A is won at the first right stop and the replay C is won at the first left or middle stop.
As a result, when replay A + C and replay A + C + D are overlapped, replay A is awarded in any one of the pressing orders, and replay C is awarded in the other pushing order.

  As shown in FIG. 16, three types of small winning combinations 3A + 3B, small winning combinations 3A + 3C, and small winning combinations 3A + 3B + 3C are provided for overlapping winnings relating to the small winning combinations 3A to 3C. Then, in any one of the pushing orders, the small combination 3A that is 12 payouts is won, and in the other pushing order, the small combination 3A that is 4 payouts is won. For example, in the small combination 3A + 3B, 12 sheets are paid out at the first left stop, and 4 sheets are paid out at the middle or right first stop.

When winning a small combination 3A for paying out four sheets, the symbol “bell” is stopped on the upper stage when the middle reel 31 is stopped. Thereby, “any”-“bell”-“any”, which is a combination of symbols of the small role 3A, is stopped on one effective line L2.
On the other hand, when winning a small combination 3A for 12 payouts, the “bell” symbol is stopped at the middle when the middle reel 31 is stopped. Thereby, the combination of the symbols of the small role 3A can be stopped on the three effective lines L1, L4, and L5.

  When winning the small role 3A, it is only necessary to stop the “bell” symbol on the active line for only the middle reel 31, but for example, “PB = 1” for the “bell” symbol of the left and right reels 31. Since it is arranged, "Bell"-"Bell"-"Bell" is stopped on any straight line (regardless of whether it is an effective line or not), and the winning of the small role 3A is easier to understand. It can also be shown to the player.

  FIG. 17 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the gaming state according to the present embodiment. In FIG. 17, the gaming state surrounded by a dotted line is a non-internal middle game. If a special role is won in a non-RT game, an RT1 game, or an RT2 game, which is a non-internal medium game, and the special role won in the game does not win, the game shifts from the next game to an internal medium game. This internal game is continued until the winning special role wins. When the winning special role wins, the game shifts to a special game.

The special game is continued until the special game end condition is satisfied, as in the first embodiment. When the special game is finished, the game state is shifted to a non-RT game (non-internal game).
This non-RT game is a so-called normal game (non-ART game). In the non-RT game, the sub game state control means 85 performs a lottery to determine whether or not to execute the ART game.

The lottery for determining whether or not to execute the ART game may be performed at any opportunity. For example, when winning a small role 1 or a small role 2 (rare small role), a predetermined number of games will be played after the end of the special game. And so on.
Then, the sub game state control means 85 controls the game state to be guided as follows: non-RT game → RT1 game (in preparation for ART) → RT2 game (ART).

Here, in the fifth embodiment, the pressing order of the stop switch 42 during the non-ART game is determined to be the left first stop, and if the player makes the middle or right first stop, the ART game lottery Control to impose a penalty on For example, during a non-ART game or at the first stop on the right, it is possible not to perform an ART game lottery for a predetermined number of games.
Therefore, during non-RT game, lottery of Replay A + B and Replay A + B + D is performed as shown in FIG. 15, but even when these are won, as shown in FIG. Since Replay A always wins, Replay B never wins.

When the ART game is won during the non-RT game, the sub game state control means 85 notifies the pushing order for winning the replay B when the replay A + B or the replay A + B + D is won. The above-mentioned penalty does not occur only when the pushing order is notified at the time of winning and the player follows the pushing order.
And when the order of pushing for winning Replay B is notified, the player should follow the order of pushing, so Replay B wins.

When the replay B wins in the non-RT game, the main game state control means 70 controls the game state to shift from the non-RT game to the RT1 game.
In the RT1 game, as shown in FIG. 16, first, replay A + C and replay A + C + D are drawn. When the RT1 game is being prepared for ART, the sub-game state control means 85 notifies the push order for winning Replay A when these winning combinations are won. Therefore, when Replay A + C and Replay A + C + D are won during ART preparation, Replay A wins. On the other hand, when the push order is not notified or when the push order notification is not followed, the replay C wins a prize.

In the RT1 game, the main game state control means 70 performs control so that the game state is maintained when the replay A is won, and when the replay C is won, the game state is returned to the non-RT game (the game state is dropped). To control.
As described above, when the replay A + C and the replay A + C + D are won during the ART preparation, in order not to win the replay C, the order of pressing the replay A to win is notified.

Further, in the RT1 game, a lottery of replay C + E + G + I, replay C + E + G + J, replay C + E + G + K, replay C + F + H + I, replay C + F + H + J, and replay C + F + H + K is performed. At the time of winning these combinations, Replay C wins at the left or middle first stop, so if Replay C wins here, the game shifts to a non-RT game.
On the other hand, if the first right stop is made when these winning combinations are won, Replay C will not win. First, in the case of ART preparation, when one of the replays C + E + G + I, J, and K is won, the sub gaming state control means 85 should aim at the right first stop and aim for the “7” alignment. Inform the player what to do. When the “7” assortment is stopped (at the time of Replay E winning), the main game state control means 70 controls to shift the game state to the RT2 game (ART game). On the other hand, when the replay G is won due to a failure in pushing, control is performed to maintain the RT1 game.

  On the other hand, when the ART is being prepared, when one of the replays C + F + H + I, J, and K is won, the sub gaming state control means 85 should aim at the right first stop and aim for the “BAR” alignment. Inform the player what to do. When the “BAR” assortment is stopped (at the time of Replay F winning), the main game state control means 70 controls to shift the game state to the RT2 game (ART). On the other hand, when the replay H is won due to a failure in pushing, control is performed to maintain the RT1 game.

  FIG. 18 is a diagram showing the relationship between the freeze execution mode and the freeze mode in the fifth embodiment, and corresponds to FIG. 7 in the first embodiment. As described above, the replays I, J, and K of the fifth embodiment are equivalent to the small roles 4A, 4B, and 4C of the first embodiment, respectively, and the winning combination at the time of winning the replay E or F is the replays I, J, and K, respectively. The freeze execution mode differs depending on which of K.

As shown in FIG. 18, when Replay E or F wins when Replay I is won (Replay C + E + G + I or Replay C + F + H + I), freeze execution mode A is selected. Also, when Replay E or F wins when Replay J is won (Replay C + E + G + J or Replay C + F + H + J), freeze execution mode B is selected. Furthermore, when Replay E or F wins when Replay K is won (Replay C + E + G + K or Replay C + F + H + K), freeze execution mode C is selected.
Furthermore, in any of the freeze execution modes, when the Replay E is won (when “7” is aligned), the Freeze mode 1 is used to freeze when the Replay E is awarded, and when the Replay F is selected (when “BAR” is aligned). Is controlled to freeze at the time of replay F winning according to the freeze mode 2.
Then, depending on whether the freeze execution mode is A to C and the freeze mode 1 or 2, during the ART game, one of the freeze execution modes A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, and C2, respectively. Perform freeze by

During an ART game, when the replay A + C and the replay A + C + D are won, the push order for winning the replay A is notified, and control is performed so as not to fall into a non-RT game. In addition, as shown in FIG. 17, when Replay C wins during RT2 game, it shifts (falls) to non-RT game. Therefore, without winning the ART game lottery, if you happen to make a transition from a non-RT game to an RT1 game and then an RT2 game, you will be able to win a replay C and move to a non-RT game. Has been. The same applies when the ART game is finished in the RT2 game (when the push order notification is no longer performed).
Further, during the ART game, when the small combination 3 is won simultaneously, the pressing order of 12 payouts is notified.

  FIG. 19 is a diagram illustrating the continuation rate of the ART game in each of the freeze execution modes A1 to C2. In the ART game of this embodiment, 30 games are set as one set, and whether or not the next set is continued is determined by lottery every time 30 games are consumed. The main game state control means 70 counts the number of games after the transition to the RT2 game, and when thirty games are consumed, whether or not to continue the RT2 game with the probability shown in FIG. 19 according to the current freeze execution mode. Do the lottery. In the example of FIG. 19, the continuation rate in freeze execution mode A2 is set to the lowest, and the continuation rate in freeze execution mode C1 is set to the highest.

When it is determined that the lottery is to be continued, information to that effect is transmitted to the sub game state control means 85 and the RT2 game is further controlled to continue for one set (30 games).
When the sub game state control means 85 receives the continuation information, the sub game state control means 85 outputs an effect indicating that the ART game is continued.

  On the other hand, when the main game state control means 70 decides not to continue the RT2 game, the main game state control means 70 executes a freeze meaning the end of the ART game. A signal to execute the freeze is transmitted to the sub gaming state control means 85. When the sub gaming state control means 85 receives this signal, the sub gaming state control means 85 notifies the player that the ART game is to be ended and controls the ART game to be ended.

Here, in the fifth embodiment, when the ART game is digested, when the ART game is continued, the freeze is not executed, and when the ART game is ended, the ART end freeze is executed. The freeze can be executed not only for the continuation but also for termination.
For example, when the ART game is continued, a freeze for about 1 to 2 seconds is executed, and when the ART game is ended, a freeze for about 5 seconds is executed.

  Furthermore, when a freeze is performed when the ART game is continued, the player may be able to cancel the freeze. For example, when a replay is won when the bet switch 40 is operated or when 30 games are consumed, the start switch 41 is operated so as to cancel the freeze when the ART game is continued. As a result, the player can determine whether or not the ART game will continue after the next game without waiting for the production output based on the operation of the bet switch 40 and the start switch 41.

After the freeze meaning the end of the ART game is executed, the sub-gaming state control unit 85 ends the ART game, and then presses it when the replay is won twice or when the small role 3 is won again. No forward notification. If Replay C wins when Replay A + C or Replay A + C + D is won, the game is shifted to a non-RT game.
Therefore, the main game state control means 70 continues to stay in the RT2 game as long as the replay C does not win, even after executing the freeze meaning the end of the ART game. Only when Replay C wins a prize in RT2 game, will it shift to non-RT game.

  On the other hand, when a freeze meaning the end of the ART game is executed, the sub game state control means 85 notifies the push order for maintaining the ART game from the next game when the replay overlap wins, No notification of push order to receive 12 payouts at the time of winning 3 duplicates. Therefore, the game state transition by the main game state control means 70 (transition from RT2 game to non-RT game) and the end timing of the ART game by the sub game state control means 85 do not necessarily coincide.

  It is determined by the main game state control means 70 whether or not to continue the RT2 game, that is, whether or not to execute the ART end freeze. The main game state control means 70 determines whether or not the current RT2 game is to be executed. This is because it is unclear whether or not is an ART game, and an ART signal or the like is not transmitted from the sub side to the main side.

  If a replay B is won by a player due to a mistake in the operation of the stop switch 42 in a state in which a lottery of an ART game is not won in a non-RT game and the game shifts to an RT1 game, the sub game state control means 85 determines that the ART is not being prepared, so no notification is given. As a result, since the replay C winning probability is increased at the time of overlapping winning replays drawn in the RT1 game, the possibility of falling to a non-RT game before shifting to the RT2 game is increased.

  In particular, as in this embodiment, if the first left stop is pressed in an appropriate order and a penalty is generated at the middle or right first stop, replay is always performed when replay A + C is won or replay A + C + D is won. Since C can be won, the possibility of shifting to the RT2 game can be set lower.

Furthermore, after transitioning to RT1 game without winning the ART game lottery, when one of Replay C + E + G + I, J, K is won, or when one of Replay C + F + H + I, J, K is won If Replay E or F wins, the game moves to RT2 game.
In such a case, since the sub game state control means 85 determines that the game is not an ART game, the order of pressing the stop switch 42 that is advantageous to the player at the time of repeated winning of replay or overlapping winning of the small role 3 is determined. No notification.

However, the main game state control means 70 wins the ART game lottery, and if the player follows the push order notification, the main game state control means 70 shifts to the RT2 game, or by the player's operation mistake or intentional operation of the stop switch 42. I don't know if I accidentally switched to RT2 games.
In this case, when the main game state control means 70 shifts to the RT2 game, the main game state control means 70 cannot determine whether or not the RT2 game is an ART game regardless of whether or not it has the ART game right. The freeze is executed according to the freeze execution mode at the time of replay E or F winning.

Therefore, in order to prevent this, for example, when switching to the RT2 game, it is possible to instruct random push (middle or first right stop) at random when Replay A is selected alone.
Specifically, the main gaming state control means 70 determines the middle or right first stop (instructed pushing order) when the replay A is independently won when the transition to the RT2 game is made, and subtracts the information on the pushing order. It transmits to the gaming state control means 85. When the sub gaming state control means 85 receives the pushing order information, it notifies the player of the pushing order.

In the RT2 game which is an ART game, in order to maintain the RT2 game (in order to win the replay A) at the time of the replay A + C overlapping winning or the replay A + C + D overlapping winning, the push order is notified. Therefore, during an ART game, if the push order is notified, the player usually follows the push order. Further, it is not known to the player whether the pressing order is notified in the replay A single winning or whether the pressing order is notified in the replay A + C overlapping winning or the like.
Therefore, it is possible to determine the instruction push order in a plurality of times (for example, three times) continuously and notify it when Replay A is selected alone.

The main game state control means 70 detects the push order in the game, and if the push order matches the instruction push order in a plurality of consecutive games at the time of winning Replay A alone, the RT2 game is determined to be ART. It is determined that the game is in progress, and the freeze in the freeze execution mode is permitted.
On the other hand, when the pressing order at the time of replay A single winning is not coincident, it is determined that the ART game is not being played, and the freeze during the RT2 game is canceled.
In this way, the freeze can be executed only during the ART game.

  It should be noted that whether or not the instruction push order can be immediately notified when shifting to the RT2 game depends on how much the single winning probability of the replay A is set in the RT2 game. If the instruction push order is notified during the first three replay A single wins after the transition to the RT2 game, if there is a replay A + C win game or a replay A + C + D win game during that time, It is also possible to count “sequential push order coincidence three times” including the push order coincidence.

  The main control means 50 is electrically connected to the external terminal board, and transmits an outer end signal (a signal for counting the number of times of ART game execution) from the main control means 50 side to the external terminal board. The outer end signal is transmitted to, for example, a hall computer. The hall computer collects various statistical information, such as how many balls have been played (slot information), including the number of times an ART game has been executed on that day (slot machine 10), and manages the hall. Used for management.

Here, for security reasons, the external terminal board is generally allowed to be connected only to the main control board, and is generally not connected to a sub control board inferior to the main control board in terms of security. Therefore, it is necessary to grasp the number of times the ART game is executed on the main control board (main control means 50 side).
There is no problem as long as the information indicating that the ART game has been executed can be transmitted from the sub control board to the main control board. However, as described above, the signal is unidirectionally transmitted from the main control board to the sub control board. Therefore, signal transmission from the sub side to the main side is not possible.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, as a method of grasping whether or not the ART game is executed on the main control means 50 side, it is possible to detect the replay E or F winning.
However, as described above, when the game is shifted to the RT2 game, the game is not always an ART game, and the main game state control means 70 cannot determine whether or not the current RT2 game is an ART game. .
If the number of executions of the ART game is uniformly counted as “+1” when the game is shifted to the RT2 game, the number of executions of the ART game cannot be counted correctly.

Therefore, in addition to winning Replay E or F, when the game moves to RT2 game, it is detected whether or not the instruction push order at the time of Replay A single win is matched, and only when the match of the instruction push order is detected. It is desirable to send an ART signal to the outside.
In addition, it is possible to send the instruction push order in the single winning of Replay A even once, but after the transition of RT2 game (ART game), it is performed for the first plurality of times, thereby improving the reliability. In addition, it is possible to prevent the counting of the ART game when the game is accidentally shifted to the RT2 game.

<Sixth Embodiment>
In the following sixth to eighth embodiments, parts not particularly described are the same as those in the fifth embodiment.
In the fifth embodiment, when the transition is made to ART preparation (RT1 game), either one of replay C + E + G + I, J, K is won, or one of replay C + F + H + I, J, K is won. I waited for it to be announced, and informed which of the winners I should aim for "7" or "BAR".
On the other hand, in the sixth embodiment, during the non-RT game, the sub game state control means 85 shifts to the ART game with “7” in the lottery of the ART game, or shifts to the ART game with “BAR”. The lottery of whether to transfer is performed simultaneously or in parallel.
For example, when shifting to an ART game with “7” matches, the expected value of the number of times of playing an ART game can be set higher than when shifting to an ART game with “BAR” matches.

FIG. 20 is a diagram illustrating a relationship between a winning combination, a pressing order, and a winning combination relating to replay in the sixth embodiment.
In the sixth embodiment, in RT1 game, instead of lottery of any one of replay C + E + G + I, J, K and replay C + F + H + I, J, K in the fifth embodiment, replay A + E + G + I, J, A lottery is performed for any one of K and any one of Replay A + F + H + I, J, and K.
When one of the replays A + E + G + I, J, and K is won, control is performed so that the replay A is won at the left or middle first stop and the replay E or G is won at the right first stop.
Further, when one of the replays A + F + H + I, J, and K is won, the replay A is won at the left or middle first stop, and the replay F or H is won at the right first stop.

  Furthermore, in the RT1 game, when “7” -matched ART games are won, one of the replay A + E + G + I, J, K should be right first stop, and “7” Inform players of what to aim for. On the other hand, when an ART game with “BAR” is selected, the player is informed that one of the replays A + E + G + I, J, and K should be selected, and that the middle / first stop should be made. "Control so that they are not aligned. In other words, if you have the right to play an ART game with the same set of “BAR”, when you win one of Replay A + E + G + I, J, K, you will push the replay A in the middle and first stop and win the Replay A. Let the RT1 game maintain.

  In this way, when the “7” -matched ART game is won, in RT1 game, it waits until one of the replays A + E + G + I, J, K is won and any one of the replays A + E + G + I, J, K If one of the replays A + F + H + I, J, and K is won before winning one, a push order notification that does not align the “BAR” is performed.

  Similarly, when an ART game with “BAR” is selected in the ART game lottery, the right first stop must be made when any one of Replay A + F + H + I, J, K is selected, and “BAR” Inform the player that they should aim for a match. On the other hand, when “7” complete ART games are won in the ART game lottery, when one of the replays A + F + H + I, J, K is won, the pressing order should be the middle first stop. To the player, and control is performed so that the “BAR” is not aligned. In the game, Replay A is won and the game state is maintained as RT1 game.

In this way, when the ART game with the same “BAR” is won, in RT1 game, it waits until one of the replays A + F + H + I, J, K is won, and any of the replays A + F + H + I, J, K If any one of the replays A + E + G + I, J, and K is won before winning one of them, “7” is notified of the push order that does not align.
In this way, the sub-game state control means 85 can control which of the “7” -matched ART games is won or which of the “BAR” -matched ART games is won. It becomes.

  In the RT1 game, as in the fifth embodiment, the replay A + C and the replay A + C + D are drawn, and if the push order notification is not followed at the time of winning, the replay C can win and fall into a non-RT game. There is sex. Therefore, when an ART game with “BAR” is selected in the ART game lottery, a push order notification that the middle first stop should be made when any one of the replay A + E + G + I, J, and K is won. When it is passed, the player should follow the push order.

  In addition, when Replay A wins in the game, either Replay A + E + G + I, J, or K is the first stop during winning, and Replay A won, or Replay A + C won first The player cannot distinguish whether Replay A has won because it was a stop. This makes it possible to notify the push order not to align “7” when winning one of Replay A + E + G + I, J, or K, or prevent “BAR” alignment when winning any one of Replay A + F + H + I, J, or K. Even if the pressing order is notified, the player does not feel uncomfortable.

<Seventh embodiment>
In the fifth embodiment, the transition opportunity from the ART preparation (RT1 game) to the ART game (RT2 game) is performed by winning a replay E or F.
On the other hand, in the seventh embodiment, the game is shifted to the ART game (RT2 game) based on the winning of a small role with an actual medal payout.
FIG. 21 is a diagram showing combinations of combinations of types, payout numbers, and symbols in the seventh embodiment.

Unlike the fifth embodiment, the replay includes only replays A to D. Replays A to D are the same as those in the fifth embodiment.
Further, the small combination includes small combinations 4A to 4C as points different from the fifth embodiment. Here, the combinations and roles of the symbols of the small roles 4A to 4C are the same as those in the first embodiment. Therefore, the small combinations 4A to 4C in the seventh embodiment correspond to the replays I to K in the fifth embodiment. However, the small combinations 4A to 4C in the seventh embodiment have eight payouts in order to set the same number of payouts as the specific small roles A to D described later (this is different from the first embodiment). .
Furthermore, in the seventh embodiment, there are four types of specific small roles A to D. For all of the specific small roles A to D, the payout number is set to eight.
Furthermore, the combination of symbols of the specific small role A is “7” associative and corresponds to the replay E of the fifth embodiment. In addition, the combination of symbols of the specific small role B is “BAR” aligned, and corresponds to the replay F of the fifth embodiment.
Furthermore, the symbol combination of the specific small combination C is the same as the replay G in the fifth embodiment, and the symbol combination of the specific small combination D is the same as the replay H in the fifth embodiment.

FIG. 22 is a diagram showing a winning combination in a normal game in the seventh embodiment. Similar to the fifth embodiment, Replay A is drawn in all gaming states. In a non-RT game, as in the fifth embodiment, replay A + B and replay A + B + D are drawn.
Furthermore, in the RT1 game and the RT2 game, as in the fifth embodiment, replay A + C and replay A + C + D are drawn.
Further, in the RT1 game, any one of the small roles 4A to 4C + specific small role A + C and any one of the small roles 4A to 4C + specific small role B + D are drawn.

FIG. 23 is a diagram illustrating a relationship between winning combinations and winning combinations corresponding to the pressing order in the seventh embodiment. The relationship between the pushing order and the winning combination at the time of overlapping winning of replay and overlapping winning of small role 3 is the same as that of the fifth embodiment.
Further, when any one of the small roles 4A to 4C + specific small role A + C is won, the specific small role A or C can be won at the first stop on the right. In particular, at the time of the first stop on the right, priority is given to winning the specific small combination A first, and when the specific small combination A cannot be won, the specific small combination C is controlled to win. On the other hand, at the time of the left or middle first stop, only the specific small combination C can win, and the specific small combination A does not win.

Similarly, at the time of winning one of the small roles 4A to 4C + the specific small role B + D, the specific small role B or D can be won at the right first stop. In particular, at the time of the first stop on the right, priority is given to winning the specific small combination B first, and when the specific small combination B cannot be won, control is performed to win the specific small combination D. On the other hand, at the time of the left or middle first stop, only the specific small combination D can be won, and the specific small combination B does not win.
Here, since the symbols of the reels 31 of the specific small combination C and the specific small combination D are arranged with “PB = 1”, it is possible to always win, and there is no case where no combination is not won.

FIG. 24 is a diagram illustrating the transition of the gaming state in the seventh embodiment. The seventh embodiment is different from the fifth embodiment in that when a specific small combination A or B wins during RT1 game, the game shifts to RT2 game. In other words, the specific small role A or B is a role that becomes an opportunity to shift from ART preparation to ART game.
In the seventh embodiment, the replays I, J, and K in FIG. 18 as the fifth embodiment are respectively replaced with the small roles 4A, 4B, and 4C. In other words, when Replay E or F wins in the small role 4A win, the freeze execution mode A is selected. When Replay E or F wins in the small role 4B win, the freeze execution mode B is selected, and the small role 4C wins. When the replay E or F wins sometimes, the freeze execution mode C is selected.

Further, in the fifth embodiment, when the “7” assortment for replay E or the “BAR” assortment for replay F is stopped, a replay win is awarded, so that the number of medals inserted in the game is automatically entered. The Rukoto.
On the other hand, in the seventh embodiment, if the “7” assembling of the specified small role A and the “BAR” as the specific small role B are stopped, a winning of 8 small roles will be won. Is paid out. Therefore, eight medals can be paid out when the ART game is entered.

Here, in the current No. 5 machine, there is no payout of medals at the time of winning a special role (bonus). The reason is as follows.
The rules relating to the recognition of game machines and the examination of the type, etc., provide a provision that “the game medal cannot be obtained without winning a prize”.
Furthermore, in setting the rules for Unit 5, an interpretation standard is provided, and according to the interpretation standard of this regulation, “the operation of the replay, the accessory and the consecutive accessory operating device is not“ winning ”. If the gaming machine has a performance of paying out a game medal when a combination of symbols for the combination of an object and an object continuous operation device is displayed, a game is played even though no prize has been won. In order to understand that it has a performance that allows medal acquisition, etc., the performance of the gaming machine conflicts with this rule. It was said. For this reason, in Unit 5, when a symbol such as BB stopped, it was determined that it was not a “winning”.

In the above rules, “acts” refers to normal (SB), first-class special (RB), and second-class (CB).
Further, the “actual accessory continuous actuating device” refers to an accessory continuous actuating device (1BB) related to a first type special accessory, and an accessory continuous actuating device (2BB) relating to a second type special accessory.
As described above, according to the above rules, the replay (replay), the action, and the action of the action continuous action device are not “winning”, but in this application, the combination of the replay and the special role symbols has been stopped. Is described as “winning” without distinction from small roles.

  Therefore, according to the rules, since the stop of the operation symbol is not a prize, a medal cannot be paid out. However, since the stop of the symbol related to the small role corresponds to winning, a medal can be paid out. Thereby, in 7th Embodiment, since the specific small combinations A and B are a kind of small combination, a medal can be paid out. As a result, as in the case of the No. 4 machine in which medals were paid out at the time of winning the special role, medals can be paid out when the “7” is aligned (when entering the gaming state that is advantageous to the player).

<Eighth Embodiment>
FIG. 25 is a diagram illustrating a relationship between winning combinations and winning combinations corresponding to the pressing order in the eighth embodiment.
In the eighth embodiment, as in the sixth embodiment, any one of replay A + E + G + I, J, and K, and any one of replay A + F + H + I, J, and K are performed. Here, the combinations of symbols of replays A, E, F, G, H, I, J, and K are the same as in the fifth embodiment.
In the eighth embodiment, replays B, C, and D are not provided. That is, in the eighth embodiment, the RT state (game state) is not shifted (the type of replay to be selected or the winning probability of replay is changed).

FIG. 26 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the gaming state in the eighth embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 26, in the eighth embodiment, there are only two types of normal games excluding special games, that is, an internal medium game and a non-internal medium game.
Moreover, the kind of special combination is one kind of BB. When the BB game ends, the game shifts to a non-internal game. Also, if a special role is won in a non-internal game, and the special role is not won, the game shifts from the next game to an internal game.

  Here, the combination of symbols of BB is the same as that of the fifth embodiment, but in the eighth embodiment, the winning BB can win a prize on the condition that the pressing order is the right first stop. Further, as in the fifth embodiment, since the middle or right first stop is a penalty, the player advances the game while observing the first left stop. For this reason, even if BB is won, in principle, the won BB will not win. Therefore, the state where BB does not win, that is, the game in the inside continues.

  The winning probability of BB can be set arbitrarily, but is set to a relatively high probability (for example, about 1/8). As a result, if the winning BB wins and shifts to the BB game, and when the BB game ends and shifts to the non-internal medium game, the BB is won early and becomes the internal medium game.

  In this internal game, the main game state control means 70 performs control so as to shift between the freeze low probability state and the freeze high probability state. In the present embodiment, the freeze low probability state is a so-called normal game state, and in this freeze low probability state, no freeze occurs. Note that the freeze low probability state and the freeze high probability state are both performed in one internal game, and as described above, the RT state is not shifted.

  Then, the sub game state control means 85 performs a lottery on whether or not to execute the ART game, as in the fifth embodiment. And when this lottery is won, the sub gaming state control means 85 notifies the pressing order of the middle or right first stop (anomalous pressing) when the replay A is won. The main game state control means 85 determines whether or not the game at the time of winning Replay A matches the predetermined pressing order.

  The above-mentioned notification after the ART game is won can be performed once, but it is desirable to perform the notification a plurality of times when the Replay A is won. This is to prevent the pushing order from being coincidental. Further, not only when the Replay A is won, but also when the small combination 3 is won repeatedly, it is possible to notify the pushing order of the 12 payouts and include the case where the pushing order matches.

  When the main game state control means 70 determines that it matches the predetermined push order in a plurality of games at the time of replay A winning, for example, the main game state control means 70 shifts to the freeze highly probable state. In addition, not only at the time of Replay A winning, but it may be determined whether or not the pressing order matches by instructing an irregular pressing when the winning combination is not won.

  Further, the sub gaming state control means 85 notifies the pushing order in a plurality of games at the time of replay A winning, and when it is determined that the pushing order matches, the main gaming state control means 70 side sets the freeze amount. Judge that it has shifted to the certain state. Thereafter, when one of the replays A + E + G + I, J, and K is won, the sub-gaming state control means 85 tells the player that the right first stop should be made and that the “7” match should be aimed at. To inform. Similarly, when any one of the replays A + F + H + I, J, and K is won, the player is notified that the right first stop should be made and that the “BAR” alignment should be aimed.

  When the replay E (“7” set) or the replay F (“BAR” set) wins, the main game state control means 70 executes a freeze at the start of the ART game. This freeze execution information is transmitted to the sub gaming state control means 85. When receiving this information, the sub game state control means 85 controls to start the ART game.

  Even if the replay E or F wins due to the player's intentional irregular push or operation mistake in the freeze low probability state, the main game state control means 70 determines that the condition for starting the ART game is not satisfied, Do not freeze when starting ART. Thereby, the sub game state control means 85 does not start the ART game.

Even if the sub game state control means 85 has not won the lottery for the ART game, an irregular push is performed at the time of replay A winning, and after the transition to the freeze high-accuracy state, the replay E or F wins further. there is a possibility.
When the sub game state control means 85 determines that Replay E or F has won a prize even though the ART game has not been won, the sub game state control means 85 does not start the ART game, but the subsequent replay A wins a plurality of times. A predetermined push order is notified in the game. This pressing order is for causing the main gaming state control means 70 to cancel the execution of the freeze.

  The main game state control means 70 cancels the freeze that is scheduled to be performed thereafter when the predetermined push order is detected after the freeze at the start of the ART game is executed. Thereby, it is possible to notify the main game state control means 70 that the game has not shifted to the ART game. Note that the push order notification for canceling the execution of the freeze is not limited to when the Replay A is won, but may be performed when the winning combination is not won.

When the ART game is started, the sub game state control means 85 notifies the pushing order of 12 payouts when the small combination 3 is won.
In addition, during the ART game, the main game state control means 70 executes the end freeze of the ART game every 30 games according to the freeze execution mode at the start of the ART game, as in the fifth embodiment. Determine whether or not by lottery. When it is determined that the ART game end freeze is to be executed, the main game state control means 70 executes the freeze at the end of the ART game and shifts to the freeze low probability state.

  Further, the information is transmitted to the sub gaming state control means 85. Upon receiving this information, the sub game state control means 85 outputs an effect that means the end of the ART game, ends the ART game, and thereafter does not notify the push order when the small role 3 is repeatedly won. Control.

  On the other hand, when the main game state control means 70 decides to continue 30 games after digesting 30 games in the ART game, the main game state control means 70 maintains the freeze highly probable state and sends information to that effect. It transmits to the gaming state control means 85. When the sub-game state control means 85 receives the information to that effect, the sub-game state control means 85 outputs an effect that means the continuation of the ART game and controls the continuation of the ART game.

In the eighth embodiment, similarly to the fifth embodiment, the replay A + B and the replay A + B + D may be provided, and the replay B may be shifted to a highly reliable state when winning the replay B.
Also, as in the fifth embodiment, replay A + C and replay A + C + D are provided, and when the game is shifted to the freeze high probability state even though the ART game is not won, the replay C is notified of the pushing order for winning the replay C. When the game is won, the main gaming state control means 70 may be shifted to a freeze low probability state.

As mentioned above, although one Embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to embodiment mentioned above, The following various deformation | transformation are possible.
(1) In this embodiment, when a special combination wins, the freeze mode is selected according to the freeze execution mode selected by the mode selection means 75a, and the freeze of the selected freeze mode is executed. And the freezing execution mode in special game was suggested by the mode of freezing performed at the time of special role winning. However, it is not necessary to execute the freeze according to the freeze execution mode at the time of winning the special role.

(2) In this embodiment, as a privilege for the player, according to the execution of the freeze during the special game, an AT game execution right is given (in the case of the first freeze during the special game), or the AT game Added (added) the number of games (in the case of the second and subsequent freezes during special games).
However, the privilege for the player is not limited to the granting of the right to execute AT games or the addition of the number of games of AT games. As a benefit for the player, for example, the winning probability of a freeze lottery for determining whether or not to execute a freeze and a transition lottery for determining whether or not to shift to a gaming state advantageous to the player may be increased.

(3) In the present embodiment, when the first freeze is executed during the special game, the AT game execution right is granted, and each time the freeze is executed thereafter, the number of games of the AT game is increased. Added (added).
However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, after the end of the special game, AT games of a predetermined number of games (for example, 50 times) are executed at a minimum regardless of whether or not the freezing during the special game is executed. Then, every time a freeze is executed during a special game, the number of AT games may be added from the first freeze.

  Also, for example, if a predetermined number of times (for example, 3 times) of freezing is executed during a special game, an AT game execution right is granted, and thereafter, every time a predetermined number of times (for example, 2 times) of freezing is executed. The number of AT games may be added.

Furthermore, for example, at the end of a special game, an AT lottery for determining whether or not to execute an AT game is performed, and if a winning is made in this AT lottery, an AT game of a predetermined number of games (for example, 50 times) after the end of the special game. Execute. Then, the probability of winning in the AT lottery may be varied according to the number of times of freezing during the special game.
In this case, for example, if the number of executions of the freeze during the special game is 1, the winning probability of the AT lottery is 1/3, and if the number of executions is 2, the winning probability is 1/2. If the number of executions is 3, the winning probability is 1 / 1.5. If the number of executions is 4 or more, the winning probability is 1/1. As the number of times increases, the winning probability of AT lottery can be gradually increased.

(4) In the first and second embodiments, three freeze execution modes A to C are provided. In the third and fourth embodiments, the freeze execution mode D is provided in addition to the above three.
However, the number and contents of the freeze execution modes are merely examples, and are not limited thereto.

(5) In the first and second embodiments, the freeze mode A (only the left reel 31 rotates in reverse), the freeze mode B (the left and middle two reels 31 rotate in reverse) and the freeze mode C ( All three reels 31 rotate in reverse order). Further, in the third and fourth embodiments, in addition to the above three, a freeze mode D (all reels 31 reversely rotate simultaneously) is provided.
However, the number and contents of the freeze modes are merely examples, and are not limited thereto.
Further, instead of a plurality of types of freeze modes with different reel operation modes, for example, a plurality of types of freeze modes with different freeze durations (freeze times) may be provided.

(6) In the first and second embodiments, the freeze mode selection means 75b changes the freeze mode A corresponding to the freeze execution mode A, the freeze mode B corresponding to the freeze execution mode B, and the freeze execution mode C. Correspondingly, freeze mode C was selected. In the third and fourth embodiments, in addition to the above three, the freeze mode D is selected corresponding to the freeze execution mode D.
However, the correspondence relationship between the freeze execution mode and the freeze mode is merely an example, and is not limited thereto.

  For example, when the freeze execution mode A is selected, the freeze mode selection means 75b sets the freeze mode A with a probability of 3/5, the freeze mode B with a probability of 1/5, and the freeze mode C with a probability of 1/5. Select each one. Similarly, when freeze execution mode B is selected, freeze mode A is selected with a probability of 1/5, freeze mode B with a probability of 3/5, and freeze mode C with a probability of 1/5. When mode C is selected, freeze mode A is selected with a probability of 1/5, freeze mode B with a probability of 1/5, and freeze mode C with a probability of 3/5. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the freeze from becoming monotonous by including the so-called “gase” freeze mode while suggesting the freeze execution mode by the freeze mode.

(7) In the first and second embodiments, the winning probability of the freeze lottery is 1/30 in the freeze execution mode A, the winning probability of the freeze lottery is 1/20 in the freeze execution mode B, and the freeze execution mode C. In this case, the winning probability of the freeze lottery was 1/10. In the third and fourth embodiments, in addition to the above three, in the freeze execution mode D, the winning probability of the freeze lottery is 1/40.
However, the win probability of the freeze lottery in each freeze execution mode is merely an example, and is not limited to this.

  (8) In this embodiment, the initial value of the number of games of AT games is fixed to “50”. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the initial value of the number of games of an AT game may be determined by lottery using random numbers from among a plurality of types.

  (9) In this embodiment, the added value of the number of games of the AT game is fixed to “20”. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the added value of the number of games of an AT game may be determined by lottery using random numbers from among a plurality of types. Further, for example, every time a freeze is executed during a special game, an added value corresponding to the freeze execution mode may be added to the number of games of the AT game. Furthermore, for example, each time a freeze is executed during a special game, an addition value may be selected with a selection probability corresponding to the freeze execution mode, and the selected addition value may be added to the number of games of the AT game.

  (10) In the fifth embodiment, “7” or “BAR” assortment is set to replay (replay E or F), and it is made to overlap with other replays. The reason for this is that when “7” or “BAR” assortment is replayed, in order to make these roles and other roles to be elected in duplicate, according to the current rules, only replays are used. This is because it is not possible to win the same. However, when not restricted by the current rules, it is also possible to make a replay with “7” or “BAR” and a combination other than the replay win.

(11) In the seventh embodiment, a set of “7” or “BAR” is used as a small payout (special small roles A and B), which is duplicated with other specific small roles C and D (8 payouts). I tried to make it. The reason for this is that it is not possible to win a combination of small roles and replays (same as above), and if you win multiple small roles with the same number of payouts, there is an advantage / disadvantage at the time of withdrawal. It does not occur.
However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the number of payouts of the specific small combination A or B can be set to be larger than the number of payouts of other small combinations that are selected in duplicate. In this way, the specific small roles A and B with “7” or “BAR” are arranged by prioritizing the number of multiple types of small roles at the time of overlapping winning (priority is given to the winning combination with the largest payout number). Can be given priority. In this case, the small combinations 4A to 4C can be set to be smaller than the number of payouts of the specific small combination A or B.

(12) In the fifth embodiment, etc., the small combination 3A is taken as an example of the small combination for AT, and the push order AT is performed. However, the AT is not limited to the pushing order AT but may be a so-called pushing AT.
For example, “Bell”-“7 / BAR”-“7 / BAR” (4 types) are provided as small roles for the main AT. In ART games, the middle and right are selected when the main portion for the main AT is selected. For example, the type of symbol of the reel 31 is notified.

  (13) In the fifth to eighth embodiments, the combination of symbols at the time of entering the ART game is set to “7” or “BAR”, and the player is aligned with the right first stop and pushing. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the symbols may be arranged so that “PB = 1” and “7” alignment or “BAR” alignment is established at the right first stop.

(14) In the fifth embodiment, during the ART game, it is determined whether or not to continue the ART game according to the freeze execution mode every 30 games. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and at the start of an ART game, it may be determined how many ART games are to be executed first according to the freeze execution mode.
(15) In the fifth embodiment, the ART game is continuously drawn every 30 games. For this reason, if the player is lucky, the ART game will continue indefinitely. However, from the standpoint of "not remarkably reluctant", there is an upper limit (ceiling) on the number of games of ART games. For example, when the number of games of ART games reaches 300 games, subsequent lotteries The ART game may be ended by executing an ART end freeze without performing the above.

  (16) In the fifth embodiment, etc., a continuous lottery of ART games is performed every 30 games. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the number of ART games may be determined in advance at the start of the ART game. For example, the number of games may be determined based on a freeze execution mode at the start of an ART game and a stop event at the start of an ART game (“7” or “BAR”).

(17) In the fifth embodiment or the like, the freeze at the start of the ART game is executed when the “7” alignment or the “BAR” alignment is stopped, and thereafter, the freeze is not executed until the ART game is ended, or Continued freezing of ART games every 30 games.
However, not limited to this, as in the special game of the first embodiment, based on the execution frequency of the freeze during the ART game, control is performed so as to suggest the expected continuation rate of the ART game and the number of games. (It is set as shown in FIG. 9 of the first embodiment). Specifically, setting may be made such that as the ART game continuation rate and the number of games increase, the frequency of occurrence of freeze increases.

  (18) In this embodiment, when a special role is won, the game shifts to an internal game, and when the special role wins, the game shifts to a special game. However, it is also possible to execute only an ART game without providing a special combination and without providing an internal game or a special game. For example, in the fifth to eighth embodiments, an ART game is made special by changing the ART game that is shifted when the “7” or “BAR” alignment stops to a game that outputs the same effect as the special game. It is also possible to make a game that looks like a game. In such a case, the ART game can be terminated by setting the ART game end condition as having reached a predetermined number of games (for example, 30 games) or reaching a predetermined payout number (for example, 200). It can be close to special games.

(19) In the fifth, sixth, and eighth embodiments, when “7” -matched replay E or “BAR” -matched replay F is selected, “7” -matched replay E or “BAR” -match depending on the pressing order. The replay A or C, which is stopped and displayed in preference to the replay F, is duplicated, but is not limited thereto.
For example, in the fifth, sixth, and eighth embodiments, only one of replay E + G + I, J, and K and only one of replay F + H + I, J, and K are selected in duplicate, and replay E + G + I, J, K No matter which one of these is won, if the first stop is left, middle or right, the replay E with “7” aligned will be stopped and displayed (if the mistake is made, the replay G will stop) Display). Similarly, when one of the replays F + H + I, J, and K is won, even if the first stop is left, middle, or right, the replay F with the “BAR” alignment is stopped and displayed if it is pressed ( Replay H may be stopped and displayed when there is a miss on the eye.

  Furthermore, similarly, in the seventh embodiment, if any one of the small roles 4A to 4C + the specific small role A + C is won, even if the first stop is left, middle or right, “7” A set of specific small roles A is displayed in a stopped state (when a mistake is made, a specific small role C is displayed in a stopped state), and when one of the small roles 4A to 4C + a specific small role B + D is won, Regardless of whether the first stop is left, middle or right, if you press the key, the specified small role B with the same “BAR” will be stopped (the specified small role D will be stopped if there is a mistake) It may be.
