If a first specific symbol combination is displayed in a game in which a first specific lottery result is generated during a third game state, the game state is shifted to a second game state. A rotary drum presentation control means 120 executes the rotary drum presentation on condition that the game state is the second game state or the third game state when the game is started and that the game is the first game in that game state if execution of the rotary drum presentation is determined.

Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine in which a lottery for winning determination is performed, a rotating reel starts rotating by operating a start switch, and stops rotating by operating a stop switch.

  2. Description of the Related Art A spinning machine such as a slot machine is already well known that can perform a spinning effect by rotating a rotating reel in a manner different from normal. When performing such a spinning effect, refer to the symbol position at the start or during the rotation of the spinning drum, and ignore the game result (outcome) displayed based on the player's skill. The display can be changed. However, such artificial alteration of the display is not preferable because it deviates from the original slot machine in which the player's game result is connected to the next game and dilutes the technical intervention. In addition, if the symbol position reference is performed during the spinning effect, the control device is burdened in addition to the original game. From such a viewpoint, it is possible to execute the spinning effect without referring to the symbol position. It is required to do.

  In response to such a request, as shown in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-228620, the spinning cylinder is rotated while maintaining a certain positional relationship when shifting to a specific gaming state by shifting to a specific gaming state with a specific symbol display. A gaming machine has been devised to produce a performance.

JP 2011-72332 A

  The present invention is based on the above-described conventional technology, and the rotation effect is ensured only when a specific appearance is displayed without referring to the symbol position by a method different from the conventional control method. An object is to provide an executable gaming machine.

The present invention has been made to achieve the above-described object, and features of the present invention will be described below with reference to embodiments of the invention shown in the drawings.
In addition, the code | symbol in parenthesis shows the code | symbol used in embodiment of invention, and does not limit the technical scope of this invention.
(Claim 1)
According to the first aspect of the present invention, there are provided a plurality of rotating reels (40) each mounted on a plurality of driving motors (reel motors M1, M2, M3) and having a plurality of symbols displayed on the surface, and the rotating reels (40 ) For starting a rotation, a plurality of stop switches (50) for individually stopping the rotating reel (40), and a combination comprising a predetermined symbol combination. Based on an operation of the start switch (30) and a role lottery means (70) for performing a role lottery of whether or not, the drive of each of the drive motors is controlled to make the rotary reel (40) in a predetermined mode While rotating, if the preset stoppable requirements are satisfied after the drive motor starts driving, while performing symbol position reference to identify the current position of the symbol displayed on the rotating reel (40) Based on the operation of the stop switch (50) Reel control means (90) for controlling the drive stop of each drive motor to stop the rotation of the rotary reel (40), and after the start switch (30) is operated until the stoppable requirement is satisfied. In the meantime, by causing the reel control means (90) to perform a control different from the normal time without referring to the symbol position, the rotating reel (40) produces a spinning effect that operates in a mode different from the normal time. A rotation effect control means for executing (120), and at least a stop symbol of the plurality of rotating reels (40) that has stopped rotating based on an operation of the stop switch (50), and a predetermined combination In this case, the game machine is configured so that a predetermined profit is given or the game state is changed.

The gaming machine according to the present invention can be a slot machine or a parrot gaming machine, and includes a payout device (hopper unit 65) and other components for paying out game media at the time of winning in addition to the above configuration. May be. The “game medium” includes medals, game balls (pachinko balls), coins and the like used for games.
The reel control means (90) performs control from the start of rotation of the drive motor to the stop of rotation, and outputs a drive signal to a plurality of drive motors based on the operation of the start switch (30) for rotation. The drive motor is accelerated and rotated until the rotation speed of the reel (40) becomes constant, and then the drive motor is rotated while maintaining the constant speed. Further, based on the operation of the stop switch (50), a stop signal is output to the plurality of drive motors to stop the rotation of the rotary reel (40). At this time, according to the lottery result of the role lottery means (70), the symbol that should not be stopped at the predetermined position is `` kicked '' so as not to stop, and the symbol that may be stopped at the predetermined position “Pull in” to stop at that position as much as possible. In other words, when the stop switch (50) is operated, if the lottery result of the winning judgment is “losing”, the lottery result of the winning judgment is won by the predetermined winning combination so that no winning symbol is aligned on the active line. In the case of (winning), control is performed to adjust the time for outputting the stop signal to each drive motor so that the winning symbols are aligned on the effective line as much as possible.

The “predetermined stoppage requirement” means that a predetermined game time limit (so-called wait time) or stop operation invalid time (so-called freeze time) has passed, or that the rotating reel (40) has a constant speed ( This includes maintaining the rotation at the steady rotation speed) and being able to specify the position of the symbol displayed on the rotating reel (40) (start index is detected).
The “predetermined profit” includes that a game medium is paid out by winning a prize, that an advantageous game such as a bonus game is performed, and that the next game can be performed without inserting the game medium (re-game). In addition, “change in gaming state” includes the transition to the advantageous game described above and the state where the re-game is in operation, and further, the gaming state which is not advantageous compared to the normal state (for example, winning of the re-gamer) (RT with a low probability), transition to another advantageous state with a different advantage (for example, a game with a different winning probability of a re-gamer), or a different gaming state with the same advantage of the game ( For example, the winning probabilities of the re-gamer are the same, but the transition to a game state in which the symbol combination constituting the re-gamer is different) is included. In addition, when it is configured to shift to a gaming state (AT) in which a notification regarding the winning combination is performed with the display of a specific symbol combination as a trigger, the transition to such a gaming state is also possible. Included in change.

The "rotating drum effect" is to rotate the rotating reel (40) in a mode different from the normal mode of rotation at the time of game execution. In the present invention, the rotating reel (40) is rotated at a speed or acceleration different from the normal rotation speed or acceleration. In addition to the mode of rotating or oscillating in the direction opposite to the normal rotation direction, the so-called freeze that makes the time from the start of the operation of the start switch (30) to the start of rotation different from normal Is included. The spinning effect control means (120) can determine whether or not to execute the spinning effect based on a lottery result indicating whether or not to execute the spinning effect at a predetermined timing during the game, for example, at the start operation. .
Furthermore, in the present invention, at least a first gaming state (RT2) and a second gaming state (RT3) are provided as gaming states, and in the first gaming state, the lottery result of the combination lottery is predetermined. In the case of the result, when the specific symbol combination is displayed by the operation of the stop switch (50), it is configured to shift to the second gaming state. When the spinning performance control means (120) determines to execute the spinning performance, at the start of the game, the gaming state is in the second gaming state, and the game is in the gaming state. On the condition that it is the first game in the above, the spinning effect is executed.

Here, the “first gaming state” and the “second gaming state” can be, for example, gaming states having different lottery modes by the role lottery means (70). “Lottery mode” means that the types of winning combinations and winning probabilities differ, and specifically, the configuration of the winning lottery table (71) referred to in the winning lottery differs. Even if the lottery mode by the combination lottery means (70) is the same, it can be positioned as a different gaming state by other conditions being different.
Specifically, “first game state” and “second game state” are “normal state” and “advantage state” in which the player can obtain a profit (for example, a play rate) larger than the normal state. Can do. For example, the present invention includes setting the first game state to the normal state and the second game state to the bonus state. However, as long as it is positioned as a different gaming state, the advantages in the gaming state may be equal. Further, the gaming machine may have a gaming state other than the first gaming state and the second gaming state. For example, a third game state may be provided in addition to the first game state and the second game state.

  Here, the “specific symbol combination” includes a symbol combination that constitutes a specific combination, and a symbol combination that is a predetermined symbol combination that is not a symbol combination that can be displayed under a predetermined condition. Both are included. The symbol combination constituting a specific combination can be displayed when a specific combination is won. The predetermined symbol combination is a so-called blank symbol, and is displayed at the same time as a symbol combination constituting a combination when a predetermined combination is won but lost or when a predetermined combination is won. To get. Alternatively, the lottery result may be lost, and may be displayed only in a specific case (for example, when the operation timing of the stop switch (50) is a specific timing).

The result of the winning lottery in the previous game is that the game is the first game in the game state when the transition to the second game state is determined based on the display of the specific symbol combination. The first game played during the second gaming state. When the transition to the second gaming state is determined, the fact that the gaming state is the second gaming state is stored in a predetermined storage unit, and when the gaming state is the second gaming state, At the start, for example, when the start switch (30) is operated, the number of games is counted.
(Function)
In the present invention, when the specific symbol combination is a symbol combination constituting a specific combination, the specific combination is won during the first game state, and the specific symbol combination is displayed on the active line in the game. Thus, the transition to the second gaming state is determined, and the transition to the second gaming state is made. When the spinning effect control means (120) decides to execute the spinning effect, or when it is decided, the gaming state is the second gaming state at the start of the game (at the start operation). And whether it is the first game in the second gaming state (for example, whether the game count is 1) is determined. When the gaming state is the second gaming state and the first game, the spinning effect is triggered by the start operation.

  In addition, when the specific symbol combination is not a symbol combination that constitutes a combination (blank symbol), a predetermined combination that is set to display the specific symbol combination is won during the first gaming state, and the game The symbol combination that constitutes the predetermined combination is not displayed on the active line (missed), but instead, the specific symbol combination is displayed when the specific symbol combination is displayed, or at the same time as the symbol combination that constitutes the predetermined combination If the lottery result is lost and the specific symbol combination is displayed, the game state is shifted to the second gaming state. The spinning effect control means (120) determines whether or not the gaming state is the second gaming state at the start of the game when it is determined or determined to execute the spinning effect. At the same time, it is determined whether or not it is the first game in the second gaming state. When the gaming state is the second gaming state and the first game, the spinning effect is triggered by the start operation.

By the way, when it is set to display a specific symbol combination during the second gaming state (when the role lottery table is formed as such), the specific symbol combination is displayed during the second gaming state. However, the spinning effect is not executed.
According to the present invention, the second gaming state is set to occur only when the specific symbol combination is displayed, and when the second gaming state is in effect and corresponds to the first game, The spinning effect is executed when the predetermined conditions such as winning the lottery are fulfilled, or the spinning effect is executed. As a result, the specific symbol combination is executed. Only when is displayed. In the present invention, the spinning effect is always executed in the first game that has shifted from the first gaming state to the second gaming state. At this time, the turning effect can be executed when the specific symbol combination is displayed without referring to the stop symbol. For this reason, since it is not necessary to perform the symbol position determination process at the time of the turning effect, the burden on the control device can be reduced.

In the present invention, the specific symbol combination is set to a symbol combination (e.g., 7, 7, 7) that is considered to be effective when the turning effect is executed when the symbol is displayed. As a result, the production effect can be enhanced.
In addition, by forming a predetermined privilege related to the game content (for example, an addition of AT) by displaying the winning of a specific role or displaying a specific symbol combination, it is possible to associate the privilege with the spinning effect. , Can increase interest.
Furthermore, when the result of the combination lottery is a lottery result that can display a specific symbol combination, the player may be notified of the lottery result.

Functions as each means.
(Role lottery means 70)
The combination lottery means 70 determines whether or not a predetermined “combination” composed of a combination of symbols displayed on the plurality of rotating reels 40 has been won by lottery. As shown in FIG. A lottery table 71 and determination means 72 are provided. Then, at the timing of receiving the operation signal of the start switch 30, the count extraction means (not shown) reads the numerical value of the loop counter, and the determination means 72 compares this numerical value with the role lottery table 71 to determine the presence / absence of winning. Is.

The winning lottery table 71 defines the winning area of each winning item with the numerical values (for example, 0 to 65535) counted by the loop counter as the entire area. Details of the role lottery table 71 will be described later. The judging means 72 collates the count data picked up by the count extracting means with the winning judgment area data of the winning lottery table 71, and if the count data belongs to a predetermined winning area, the winning means corresponding to the winning area is selected. If the count data does not belong to any winning area, the “lost” is determined.
Here, in the slot machine 10, when the combination of symbols constituting a predetermined winning combination is displayed on the active line by operating the stop switch 50 (hereinafter, this is referred to as winning), the profit corresponding to the winning combination is displayed. It is to be granted. The winning combination includes a small role in which a predetermined number of medals are paid out by winning, a re-playing role that allows a game to be played again without newly inserting a game medal in the next game, and a bonus state from the next game to winning. And a bonus role to be transferred.

In addition, the effective line is a line that can connect three symbols in total of three vertically and three horizontally visible from the symbol display window 13 among the symbols respectively displayed on the three rotating reels 40 ( (Winning line) is a line that defines the arrangement of symbol combinations that are effective for winning. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, a center line connecting symbols located in the middle stage of each rotary reel 40 is set as a winning line L. In this embodiment, it is possible to bet three medals per game, and when betting three medals, the winning line L becomes valid and becomes an active line. is there.
In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, as a bonus combination, “BB” consisting of a symbol combination of “Blue 7, Blue 7, and Blue 7” and a symbol combination of “BAR, BAR, and BAR” are included. “RB” is provided.

In addition, as a small role, "Plum" consisting of "Plum, Plum, Plum" symbol combination,
There is a “bell” consisting of a symbol combination of “bell bell bell”.
The re-playing actors include “Replay A,” “Belle, BAR, BAR,” “Bell, BAR, Plum,” “Bell, BAR, Red 7B,” and “Bell.” "Cherry BAR""Bell Cherry Plum""Bell Cherry Red 7B""Bell Plum PBAR""Bell Plum Plum""Bell Plum Red 7B" “Replay B” and “Red 7A / Red 7A / Red 7A” “Replay C” and “Red 7A / Red 7A / White 7” “Red 7A / Red 7A / Bell” “Red 7A / Red” 7A ・ Blue 7 」「 Red 7A ・ Plum ・ White 7 」「 Red 7A ・ Plum ・ Bell 」「 Red 7A ・ Plum ・ Blue 7 」「 Red 7A ・ Bell ・ White 7 」「 Red 7A ・ Bell ・ Bell 」「 Red “Rea” consisting of 9 symbol combinations of “7A, Bell, Blue 7” "Ray D" and "Red 7B / Red 7B / Red 7B" symbol combination "Replay E" and "Red 7B / Red 7B / Bell""Red 7B / Bell / Bell" “Replay F” and “Replay G” comprising three symbol combinations of “Bell Replay White 7”, “Bell Replay Bell” and “Bell Replay Blue 7” are provided. When “Replay G” is aligned with the center line, “Replay” is aligned with the right-up line (not the effective line). Specifically, stop control is performed so that the symbol numbers 14 and 19 of the left reel 43 shown in FIG. 3 do not stop in the middle stage (effective line).

The small combination is paid out a predetermined number of game medals by winning. For example, five prize medals are paid out for “Plum” and nine for “Bell”. When “BB” wins, a big bonus game (BB game), which is a bonus game, starts from the next game, and when “RB” wins, a regular bonus game (RB game) starts from the next game.
The BB game is a game period in which RB games are continuously played. The RB game is a game period in which a winning probability of a small role is set higher than that in a normal game. When transitioning to the RB game, the prescribed number of inserted medals may be changed to one. The RB game ends when a predetermined number of wins or a predetermined number of games end. Then, when the BB game is entered, the RB game is unconditionally started, that is, without matching the symbols (RB symbols) for making the transition to the RB game. When one RB game is completed, the next game is unconditionally performed again. The RB game is started. The BB game ends when the total number of payout medals exceeds a predetermined number.

Note that the RB game may be started when predetermined RB symbols are arranged during the BB game. When a bonus combination is won, a predetermined number (for example, 15) of medals may be paid out, and then the bonus state may be entered. Also, the BB game and RB game end conditions may be other conditions (for example, the number of games).
Here, if any combination wins as a result of the lottery, a winning flag corresponding to the winning is established. If the winning combination is a small combination, a small combination flag (plum flag, bell flag), a bonus combination (BB flag, RB flag) if a bonus combination, and a replay flag (replay A flag) if a winning combination , Replay B flag, etc.) respectively. The small combination flag and the replay flag are reset only for the game, but the bonus flag is not reset until the bonus combination is won. That is, in the case of winning a bonus combination, the right to win is carried over after the next game. Further, while the bonus flag is carried over (inside the bonus), the winning determination of BB and RB is not performed. In the present embodiment, as described below, the winning lottery table 71 is provided with an overlapping winning area where a plurality of winning combinations are won simultaneously, and the count data of the loop counter extracted by the count extracting means is When belonging to the overlapping winning area, the winning flags corresponding to each of the combinations included in the area are established.

(Role drawing table 71)
A specific example of the role lottery table 71 in the present embodiment is shown in FIG.
As the role lottery table 71, as shown in FIG. 5, a normal role lottery table (table S) used in the normal state and an RT role lottery table (tables R1 to R4) used in the RT state are provided. Although not shown, there are provided an internal middle combination lottery table used in the internal middle state and a bonus combination lottery table used in the bonus state (BB state and RB state).
Here, the RT state is a game state in which the winning probability of the re-gamer is set to be different from the normal state, and is called a so-called replay time. The internal state is a gaming state in which a bonus flag is carried over, and the bonus state is a gaming state in which a bonus game is played. The normal state refers to a gaming state that does not correspond to any of them.

  Each winning lottery table 71 is set with a winning area and a lost area. As a winning area, in addition to a single winning area that is a winning area associated with one combination, an overlapping winning area associated with a plurality of types of winning combinations is set. Specifically, the table S is provided with bonus (BB, RB), plum, and bell single winning areas, and overlapping winning areas (replay A + G, hereinafter the same) for replay A and replay G. In FIG. 5, the bonus winning area is described as one, but this does not mean that BB and RB are simultaneously won, and the BB and RB single winning areas are displayed together. is there. The ratio (winning probability) of each winning area is set to 1/256 for the bonus (BB, RB total), 1/10 for the plum, 1/64 for the bell, and 1 / 7.3 for the replay A + G, for example. Has been. In the tables R1 to R3, bonuses, plums, and bells are set to the same probability as the table S, but the type of re-game player and the winning probability are different.

  That is, in the table R1, replay A + G is set to 1 / 2.31, replay A + B + G is set to 1 / 2.31, and replay B is set to 1/128. In the table R2, Replay A is set to 1/8, Replay B is set to 1 / 12.35, Replay B + C + D is set to 1/3, and Replay B + E + F is set to 1/3. In the table R3, the replay A is set to 1/8, the replay B is set to 1 / 12.35, and the replay B + E + F is set to 1 / 1.5. In the table R4, the replay A is set to 1/8, the replay B is set to 1 / 12.35, and the replay B + C + D is set to 1 / 1.5.

In the present embodiment, in the tables R1 to R4, the winning probability of the re-gamer is set to be higher than that of the table S. Specifically, in the table S, the winning probabilities of all re-game players are set to 1 / 7.3, whereas in the tables R1 to R4, they are set to 1 / 1.15. . As a result, a game in which the gaming state is in the RT state increases the number of replays that can be played without a bet, and the winning probability of the small role does not change, so there is less loss of medals on hand. The game is more advantageous to the player than the game in the normal state.
Although not shown, a small combination and a re-playing combination are set with a predetermined probability in the internal middle combination lottery table, but there is no bonus combination winning area. Further, in the bonus combination lottery table, the winning area of the small combination is set with a predetermined probability (higher than the table S).

The winning probability of each winning combination is an example, and is not limited to the above numerical values.
(Game state transition control means 80)
The game state transition control means 80 is for identifying the game state and controlling the transition of the game state. As shown in FIG. 2, the transition condition determination means 81, the state flag setting means 82, and the game counter 83 Each means is provided.
The transition condition determination means 81 is for the game situation to shift the gaming state based on the lottery result of the combination lottery means 70, the determination result of the game result determination means 100 described later, and the measured value of the game counter 83 described below. This is for determining whether or not the predetermined condition is satisfied. The state flag setting means 82 is for establishing a predetermined state flag for storing the current gaming state based on the determination result of the transition condition determination means 81 and the lottery result of the combination lottery means 70. The game counter 83 measures numerical values related to the game. Specifically, the number of games in BB (RB), the number of winnings, the number of payouts, and the like, and the number of games after the transition to the RT state are counted.

Specifically, the transition condition determination means 81 determines the transition to the bonus internal state based on the lottery result of the combination lottery means 70, and the end of the bonus internal state based on the determination result of the game result determination means 100, Based on the measured value of the game counter 83, the transition to the bonus state, the operation of replay, the transition to the predetermined RT state or the end (transition to another RT state or the return to the normal state) is determined. The end of the state (return to the normal state), the end of the predetermined RT state, etc. are determined. A specific example of the game state transition will be described later.
The state flags that can be set by the state flag setting means 82 include a bonus inside flag, a bonus operation flag (BB operation flag, RB operation flag), a re-game operation flag, and an RT flag (RT1 to 4 flags). The bonus internal medium flag is set based on the decision to shift to the bonus internal state, and is reset based on the decision to shift to the bonus state. The bonus operation flag is set based on the decision to shift to the bonus state, and is reset when the bonus state ends. The re-game operation flag is set based on the re-game operation decision, and is reset when one re-game is completed. “Re-playing operation” means a period during which the re-playing operation flag is established. Specifically, when a re-game player is won, a combination of symbols constituting the re-game player is displayed (winning prize). This is a period from the end of the replay based on the winning (game that can be played without betting). The RT flag is set based on the decision to shift to a predetermined RT state, and is reset based on the decision to end the RT state. Specifically, the RT1 flag is set at the time of transition to RT1, the RT2 flag is set at the time of transition to RT2, the RT3 flag is set at the time of transition to RT3, the RT4 flag is set at the time of transition to RT4, and is reset when the end of each RT state is determined. In the normal state, the normal state flag may be set, or the state flag may not be particularly set.

Then, according to the state flag set by the state flag setting means 82, the role lottery means 70 selects the corresponding role lottery table 71 and performs the role lottery, so that a predetermined game such as a normal state, a bonus state, an RT state, etc. The state is activated. That is, the combination lottery means 70 selects the normal table S (see FIG. 5) when the state flag is not established, and when the bonus flag is established, the internal middle combination lottery table (not shown). When a bonus medium flag is established, a bonus combination lottery table (not shown) is selected. When a predetermined RT flag is established, a corresponding RT table (tables R1 to R1 in FIG. 5) is selected. R4) is selected.
When the state flag setting means 82 has set the re-game operation flag, it is treated that a specified number of medals are automatically inserted (automatic bet) before the next game starts. Specifically, regardless of the operation of the bet switch 16 or the insertion of medals, a bet display (display of the number of pieces to be multiplied) is displayed on a predetermined bet display section (not shown), and the subsequent operation of the start switch 30 becomes possible.

(Game state transition)
Here, a specific example of the game state transition based on the control of the gaming state transition control means 80 having the above-described configuration is shown in FIG. In the present embodiment, as described above, the game state has a normal state, a bonus internal state, and a bonus state, and the RT state includes four states: an RT1 state, an RT2 state, an RT3 state, and an RT4 state. It has an RT state.
The slot machine S is in a normal state in the initial state (at the time of factory shipment). That is, the role lottery means 70 acquires the normal table S (see FIG. 5) as the role lottery table 71 used for the role lottery. Then, when Replay A wins during the normal state, the state shifts to the RT1 state. That is, the transition condition determination means 81 determines the transition to the RT1 state, and the state flag setting means 82 sets the RT1 flag. When the RT1 flag is set, the winning lottery means 70 acquires the RT1 table R1 as the winning lottery table 71 used for the winning lottery (the same applies hereinafter). Even if the replay G wins in the normal state, there is no transition of the gaming state.

In the RT1 state, when Replay B wins, it shifts to the RT2 state. On the other hand, when the replay G wins in the RT1 state, the state returns to the normal state. Even if Replay A wins in the RT1 state, there is no transition to the gaming state.
If Replay C wins in the RT2 state, the state shifts to the RT3 state. In the table R2, which is the role lottery table 71 for RT2, the winning probability of the replay B + C + D is 1/3. However, as shown in FIG. Since there is only one for each 40, the RT3 state is not entered unless the target is successfully pushed. On the other hand, among the nine symbol combinations constituting the replay B that is selected at the same time as the replay C, the symbol “bell” corresponding to the left reel 41 is all in the left reel 41 as shown in FIG. (4 frames) Arranged without any gaps, the symbols “BAR”, “Cherry”, “Plum” corresponding to the middle reel 42, and the symbols “BAR”, “Plum”, “Red 7B” corresponding to the right reel 43 Are also arranged in the middle reel 42 and the right reel 43 with the interval between the symbols not exceeding the maximum number of smooth frames. Therefore, even if no “red 7A” can be stopped on the active line, any symbol combination constituting the replay B is always aligned on the active line. In addition, among the nine symbol combinations constituting the replay D to be selected at the same time as the replay C, the symbols “plum” and “bell” corresponding to the middle reel 42 have a distance greater than or equal to the maximum number of smooth frames in the middle reel 42. The symbols “bells” corresponding to the right reel 43 are all arranged on the right reel 43 without a gap equal to or greater than the maximum number of smooth frames. Therefore, only when the left reel 41 is stopped first, when only two “Red 7A” are stopped on the active line, and only one “Red 7A” is stopped on the active line. In such a case, one of the symbol combinations constituting the replay D is always aligned on the effective line. When the replay B + C + D is selected, if the stop switch 50 is operated in an operation order other than the operation order in which the left reel 41 is first stopped, any symbol combination of the replay B is displayed.

  On the other hand, when Replay E wins in the RT2 state, the state shifts to the RT4 state. In the table R2, the winning probability of the replay B + E + F is 1/3. However, as shown in FIG. 3, only one symbol “red 7B” constituting the replay E is provided on each rotary reel 40. Because there is no, if it does not succeed, it does not shift to the RT4 state. On the other hand, as for the replay B that is won at the same time as the replay E, as described above, even if no “red 7B” can be stopped on the active line, any of the symbol combinations constituting the replay B They are always on the active line. Of the two symbol combinations that make up the Replay F that will be selected at the same time as the Replay E, the symbols “Bell” corresponding to the middle reel 42 are all arranged on the middle reel 42 with no more than the maximum number of smooth frames. The symbols “bells” corresponding to the right reel 43 are all arranged on the right reel 43 without a gap equal to or greater than the maximum number of smooth frames. Therefore, only when the left reel 41 is stopped first, when only two “Red 7B” are stopped on the active line, and only one “Red 7B” is stopped on the active line. In such a case, one of the symbol combinations constituting the replay F is always aligned on the effective line. If the stop switch 50 is operated in an operation order other than forward pressing when the replay B + E + F is selected, any symbol combination of the replay B is displayed.

When the replay A wins in the RT2 state, the state shifts to the RT1 state. Furthermore, when Replay B wins, the RT2 state is maintained.
In the RT3 state, when Replay B or Replay F wins, the state shifts to the RT2 state, when Replay E wins, the state shifts to the RT4 state, and when Replay A wins, the state shifts to the RT1 state. During the RT3 state, the replay C is not won, and all the re-game players are triggered to transition to other RT states. And if a re-gamer wins, one of the re-game players who wins will always win, so the RT3 state can be maintained only if the lottery result is lost or a small-game win It has become. However, since the winning area of the re-gamer is overwhelmingly larger than the winning area and the lost area of the small role, it is possible to frequently shift from the RT3 state to another RT state (RT2 or RT4 from the winning probability). The nature is getting higher.

  In the RT4 state, when Replay B or Replay D wins, the state shifts to the RT2 state, when Replay C wins, the state shifts to the RT3 state, and when Replay A wins, the state shifts to the RT1 state. During the RT4 state, the replay E is not won, and all the re-game players are triggered to transition to other RT states. And if a re-gamer wins, one of the winning re-game players will always win, so the RT4 state can be maintained only if the lottery result is lost or the small role wins It has become. However, similar to the RT3 state, the winning area for the re-gamer is overwhelmingly larger than the winning area for the small role and the area for losing, so the RT4 state frequently causes another RT state (RT2 or There is a high possibility of shifting to RT3).

Furthermore, when a bonus (BB or RB) is won in the normal state and the RT1 to RT4 states, the state shifts to the bonus internal state, and when the bonus is won in the bonus internal state, the state shifts to the bonus state. Then, when the bonus state is completed corresponding to a predetermined bonus end condition (winning or number of games, number of payouts), the normal state is restored.
(Reel control means 90)
The reel control means 90 controls the rotation of the rotary reel 40 based on the effective operation signal of the start switch 30, and controls the rotation stop of the rotary reel 40 based on the result of the winning lottery and the operation signal of the stop switch 50. Is for. Further, the reel control means 90 is configured to be able to execute a spinning effect that changes the rotation mode of the rotary reel 40 based on control data set in advance based on the determination of the spinning effect control means 120.

As shown in FIG. 2, the reel control means 90 includes acceleration data storage means 91, stop data storage means 92, symbol determination means 93, motor control means 94, and stop operation invalid release means 96. Yes.
(Acceleration data storage means 91)
The acceleration data storage unit 91 stores control data (acceleration data) for controlling the driving speed of reel motors M1, M2, and M3 (hereinafter abbreviated as reel motor M) that rotate the rotary reel 40. The acceleration data defines the data for exciting the stepping motor on the table. By generating a drive pulse at a predetermined cycle based on the acceleration data, the rotation reel 40 is started to rotate and the rotation speed is set. It can be accelerated or decelerated, or rotated while maintaining a constant speed (steady rotational speed).

In the present embodiment, as the acceleration data, normal rotation data for controlling the behavior of the rotating reel 40 during normal rotation, and the rotating cylinder for controlling the behavior of the rotating reel 40 when executing the rotating effect. Production rotation data. Until the stop operation becomes effective by the normal rotation control based on the normal rotation data, the rotating reel 40 rotates normally, and until the stop operation becomes effective by the rotation effect control based on the rotation effect rotation data. During this period, a predetermined spinning effect is performed. The spinning effect will be described later.
(Stop data storage means 92)
The stop data storage means 92 stores a plurality of stop data for stopping the driving of the reel motor M and stopping the rotation of the rotary reel 40 by an operation signal of the stop switch 50.

  The stop data is defined on the table for each symbol for how many frames the rotating reel 40 is moved from the reference symbol at a predetermined position that can be stopped immediately when the operation signal of the stop switch 50 is received. Yes, winning symbol drawing stop data and loss stop data are provided. The winning symbol pull-in stop data indicates that the corresponding rotating reel 40 stop position is determined in advance so that the arrangement of the winning symbol stops on the active line and the symbols other than the winning symbol do not stop on the active line. It is specified within the range of numbers. The loss stop data defines the stop position of the corresponding rotary reel 40 within a predetermined number of frames so that the symbol arrangement constituting any combination does not stop on the effective line.

(Design determination means 93)
The symbol determination means 93 is for recognizing the current position of the symbol of each rotary reel 40 for each rotary reel 40 based on the detection signal of the index sensor 60A.
Specifically, the symbol determination means 93 counts the number of drive pulses for rotating the rotating reel 40 while clearing it to zero when the detection signal of the index sensor 60A is received, and identifies and identifies the rotation angle of the rotating reel 40. It is possible to specify what symbol is located at a specific position of the rotary reel 40, for example, at the middle position of the symbol display window 13.
The symbol determining means 93 stores, as a reference symbol, a symbol at a position where it can be stopped on a predetermined effective line when an effective operation signal of the stop switch 50 is received. Further, information on the stop symbol when the rotation reel 40 stops rotating is stored.

However, the symbol determination means 93 does not specify the current position of the symbol on the rotating reel 40 when the spinning effect is executed.
(Motor control means 94)
When the motor control means 94 receives the operation signals of the start switch 30 and the stop switch 50, the motor control means 94 controls the driving and stopping of the reel motor M based on the acceleration data and the stop data to rotate or stop the rotation of the rotary reel 40. Control to be performed. The motor control means 94 includes acceleration data selection means, drive signal output means, stop data selection means, and stop signal output means (not shown).

The acceleration data selection means is for selecting acceleration data used when driving the reel motor M. That is, when the rotation effect control means 120 determines to execute the rotation effect, the rotation effect rotation data is selected, and when the rotation effect execution is not determined, the normal rotation data is selected. Furthermore, when the rotation effect rotation data is selected, the normal rotation data is selected after the control based on the rotation effect rotation data is completed. When the acceleration data selection means selects the acceleration data, the drive signal output means controls the driving of the reel motor M based on the acceleration data.
The drive signal output means is for generating a drive pulse for driving the reel motor M based on the acceleration data selected and determined by the acceleration data selection means. Specifically, the frequency of a transmission pulse generated by a pulse generation circuit (not shown) is converted to a predetermined frequency by a frequency divider and output to a motor drive board (not shown) of the reel unit 60.

The drive signal output means is a predetermined game start requirement such as when the medal sensor 15 detects an inserted medal, when the credit is “1” or more and the bet switch 16 is operated, or when the hopper unit 65 is not paying out a medal. And a plurality of phases (provided in the reel motor M) based on the acceleration data when the operation signal of the start switch 30 is received on condition that the predetermined game time limit has passed. For example, four-phase coils are sequentially energized (excited), and supply of drive pulses for rotating the rotor is started. As the rotor rotates, the drive shaft of the reel motor M rotates, and the rotary reel 40 rotates.
Here, the game time limit is referred to as a so-called wait time, and even after one game is over so that the player cannot insert an excessive number of medals in a certain time. The time is set so that the next game cannot be performed unless the time has passed. Specifically, the game time per game is calculated based on the rule that the bet amount used per minute does not exceed 400 yen, and the time between the start of the game and the start of the next game is It is specified as 4.1 seconds or more. The stop operation cannot be performed in the next game until 4.1 seconds have passed since the rotation reel 40 started to rotate. In this case, the start switch 30 may not be activated (the reel motor M will not start driving) unless the game time limit has elapsed, or the start switch 30 can be operated before the game time limit has elapsed (reel Although the motor M starts driving), the stop switch 50 may not be activated (the reel motor M will not stop driving) unless the game time limit has elapsed.

Then, when the normal rotation data is selected by the acceleration data selection means, the drive signal output means controls the reel motor M so that the rotary reel 40 normally rotates based on the normal rotation data. That is, the frequency of the drive pulse output to the motor drive board is gradually increased to rotate all the rotary reels 30 with a predetermined acceleration. When the rotation speeds of all the rotary reels 30 reach a predetermined steady rotation speed (for example, 80 rpm), the drive pulse frequency is kept constant and constant rotation is performed at the steady rotation speed.
On the other hand, when the rotation effect data is selected by the acceleration data selection means, the reel motor M is controlled so that a predetermined rotation effect is performed based on the rotation effect rotation data. As the rotation effect rotation data, acceleration data for causing the rotary reel 40 to perform various rotation modes is provided. For example, with respect to a specific rotating reel 40, or all the rotating reels 40 may be vibrated, rotated at a low speed, rotated at a high speed, rotated in a reverse direction, or temporarily stopped in a predetermined order. Acceleration data for performing combined operation is provided. The acceleration data includes data that does not start the rotation of the rotating reel 40 for a certain period of time after receiving the operation signal of the start switch 30 (does not start driving the reel motor M for a certain period of time). In addition, the rotation effect control means 120, which will be described later, determines which rotation effect rotation data is used to execute the rotation effect.

The stop data selecting means is for selecting stop data for stopping the rotation of the corresponding rotary reel 40 based on the result of the winning lottery by the winning lottery means 70. Specifically, the stop data selection means selects the winning symbol drawing stop data corresponding to the combination when the predetermined combination is won as a result of the combination lottery, and when the lottery result is lost, Select the loss stop data.
The stop signal output means is operated based on the stop data selected by the stop data selection means and the symbol (reference symbol) at a predetermined position at the time of operation of the stop switch 50 stored by the symbol determination means 93. Is for outputting a stop signal for stopping the driving of the reel motor M of the rotary reel 40 corresponding to the above (that is, for stopping the rotation of the rotary reel 40 that has been stopped).

  Specifically, when one of the stop switches 50 is operated and the symbol determination unit 93 stores the reference symbol of the corresponding rotating reel 40, the stop signal output unit stops at the reference symbol in the selected stop data. A stop signal is output to the motor drive board of the reel motor M at the timing when a predetermined symbol as a symbol to be stopped when operated is a predetermined stop position. Here, in the reel motor M, all the coils are simultaneously energized for a certain period of time, so that the rotation of the rotor is braked and the drive is stopped. That is, the stop signal is synonymous with a signal for exciting the coils of the stepping motor in all phases.

  When the winning symbol drawing stop data is selected (that is, when the winning lottery result is winning a predetermined winning combination), when the stop signal output means outputs a stopping signal based on the stopping data, the predetermined symbol is extracted from the reference symbol. When there is a winning symbol within the range of the number of frames, the winning symbol is drawn on the active line and each rotary reel 40 stops. On the other hand, if there is no winning symbol within the range of the predetermined number of frames from the reference symbol, the rotating reel 40 cannot draw the winning symbol on the effective line, and it will be on the effective line when all the rotating reels are stopped. There are no other roles. Further, when the loss stop data is selected (that is, when the result of the lottery is lost), when the stop signal output means outputs a stop signal based on the stop data, all the reels are stopped. Each rotary reel 40 is stopped so that no combination is established on the effective line.

Here, as described above, in the combination lottery table 71 shown in FIG. 5, a predetermined push order is set for the overlapping winning areas of the replay A + G and the replay A + B + G in the table S and the table R1. When a stop operation is performed in a predetermined pressing order, a predetermined winning combination is formed.
Specifically, when the replay A + G is won, the replay G wins when the stop operation is performed in the pressing order in which the left button 51 is first operated (hereinafter referred to as the first left stop). However, if the stop operation is performed in a pressing order other than the first left stop (the pressing order in which the middle button 52 is operated first or the pressing order in which the right button 53 is operated first), the replay A wins a prize. It is like that. That is, when the replay A + G is won, if the stop switch 50 is operated with the first left stop, the symbols constituting the replay G are preferentially drawn on the active line, and the stop switch 50 is other than the first left stop. When the operation is performed in the order of pressing, stop data is provided so that the symbols constituting the replay A are preferentially drawn onto the active line.

In addition, when Replay A + B + G is elected, if a stop operation is performed at the first left stop, Replay A wins, but a stop operation is performed in a pressing order other than the first left stop. The Replay G wins a prize. That is, when the replay A + B + G is won and the stop switch 50 is operated with the first left stop, the symbols constituting the replay A are preferentially drawn on the active line, and the stop switch 50 is other than the first left stop. When the operation is carried out, stop data is provided so that the symbols constituting the replay G are preferentially drawn onto the active line.
Furthermore, in the present embodiment, in a specific gaming state, when a combination with the above-described push order is selected, the push order is notified. This will be described later. .

(Stop operation invalid release means 95)
The stop operation invalid canceling means 95 is for making the rotation of the rotary reel 40 stop by an operation signal of the stop switch 50.
Here, the operation signal of the stop switch 50 is, as a matter of course, when each rotating reel 40 is stopped, even after the rotating reel 40 starts to rotate, the above-mentioned game time limit has passed, and the rotation speed is steady rotation. Until the index sensor 60A corresponding to all the rotating reels 40 first detects the index. In addition, the operation signal of the stop switch 50 is formed so as not to be valid even when a later-described rotation effect control means 120 sets a stop operation invalid period for executing the rotation effect. In other words, during the period described above, the stop operation is disabled and the stop switch 50 is ineffective. This is because a predetermined signal cut-off means (not shown) is provided in the electrical connection path connecting each detection sensor of the stop switch 50 and the control device 20, and when this signal cut-off means is operating, the detection of the sensor When the signal does not reach the control device 20 and the signal blocking means is inactive, it can be executed by forming the sensor detection signal so as to communicate with the control device 20. The signal cutoff means may be a logic circuit means or a switch means provided in the electric circuit, or may be one in which such a program is incorporated in the control device 20.

It can be determined whether or not the rotation reel 40 has been rotated in a steady manner depending on whether or not the acceleration control program for acceleration data used in the game has ended. Further, the elapsed time from the start of rotation of the rotary reel 40 may be measured, and it may be determined that the steady rotation has been reached when a predetermined time according to the acceleration data used is reached. Alternatively, a rotation detection sensor may be provided in the reel motor to detect the rotation speed of the drive shaft.
In the stop operation invalid release means 96, the game control time and the stop operation invalid period have elapsed, the rotation speeds of all the rotation reels 40 have reached the steady rotation, and the index sensor 60A detects the index for all the rotation reels. If it is, the signal blocking means is deactivated to cancel the invalidation of the stop operation.

(Game result judging means 100)
The game result determining means 100 is for determining the result of the game when all the rotating reels 40 are stopped by the operation of the stop switch 50.
Specifically, based on the information of the stop symbol stored in the symbol determination means 93, it is determined whether or not the combination of symbols arranged on the active line constitutes a predetermined combination, and the predetermined combination is determined. When it is determined that the symbol combination to be configured is displayed on the active line, the determination result information is transmitted to the hopper control means 110 and the gaming state transition control means 80. The hopper control means 110 that has received the determination result information performs a payout process for winning medals, and the gaming state transition control means 80 performs a transition process to a bonus state or an RT state, or a re-game operation process. Furthermore, by outputting a predetermined signal to the effect control device 22, a predetermined effect can be performed at the start of a winning or bonus game by the image display unit 67, the lamp 68, or the speaker 69.

(Hopper control means 110)
The hopper control means 110 operates the hopper unit 65 and pays out medals based on the determination result of the game result determination means 100 and the operation of the settlement switch 17. In other words, when the game result determination means 100 determines the winning of the payout small role, the medal corresponding to the small role winning is paid out, and when the checkout switch 17 is operated when there are 1 or more credits, it is stored as credits. The medal that has been made is to be paid out.
(Cylinder effect control means 120)
The rotation effect control means 120 determines whether or not to execute the rotation effect and its mode, and includes an execution lottery means 121 and an execution condition determination means 122 as shown in FIG. .

The execution lottery means 121 performs an execution lottery for determining whether or not to execute the spinning effect. The method of execution lottery is the same as that of combination lottery, and is performed by comparing a random number picked up at a predetermined time with the execution lottery table. The execution lottery is performed in response to reception of the operation signal of the start switch 30 for each game. Moreover, when there are a plurality of modes of the spinning effect, the mode can be determined in the execution lottery.
If the execution lottery of the execution lottery means 121 is won, that is, the lottery result indicating that the rotation effect is executed, the execution condition determination unit 122 satisfies a predetermined condition for executing the rotation effect. It is for judging. In the present embodiment, the predetermined condition for executing the spinning effect is set such that the gaming state is the RT3 state or the RT4 state and the game is the first game that has shifted to the gaming state. Whether the gaming state is the RT3 state or the RT4 state can be determined by the presence or absence of the RT3 flag or the RT4 flag. Whether the game is the first game or not is a numerical value (for example, 1) indicating that the game counter 83 starts counting the number of games when the RT3 flag or the RT4 flag is set, and the count value is the first game. It can be judged by whether or not. Alternatively, the “first game flag” can be set when the RT3 flag or the RT4 flag is set, and the determination can be made based on the presence or absence of the flag.

Here, the state is shifted to the RT3 state when the replay C having the symbol combination “red 7A / red 7A / red 7A” wins in the RT2 state or the RT4 state (see FIG. 6). ). Replay C is won only during the RT2 state or the RT4 state (see FIG. 5). Therefore, in the next game (the first game that has shifted to the RT3 state) when “Red 7A / Red 7A / Red 7A” are stopped in line with the center line of the symbol display window 13 during the RT2 or RT4 state Will be executed.
In addition, the RT4 state is shifted to the RT2 state or the RT3 state when the replay E including the symbol combination “red 7B / red 7B / red 7B” wins (see FIG. 6). . Replay E is won only during the RT2 state or the RT3 state (see FIG. 5). Therefore, in the next game (the first game that has shifted to the RT4 state) when “Red 7B / Red 7B / Red 7B” stops in line with the center line of the symbol display window 13 during the RT2 or RT3 state, the spinning effect Will be executed.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, when “Red 7A, Red 7A, Red 7A” is aligned with the center line according to the symbol arrangement of each rotary reel 40, “Red 7B, Red 7B, Red 7B” is displayed on the lower line. Aligned,
When “Red 7B / Red 7B / Red 7B” is aligned with the center line, “Red 7A / Red 7A / Red 7A” is aligned on the upper line, so that red 7A and red 7B are double aligned in a horizontal line. It seems that the rendition effect is executed.
Then, when the spinning effect control means 120 decides to execute the spinning effect, it sets a predetermined stop operation invalid period. The stop operation invalid period is a non-game time that is separate from the above-described game time limit, and is a so-called freeze period for executing the spinning effect. The spinning effect control means 120 includes a freeze timer (not shown), and the stop operation is disabled during the measurement of the freeze timer, and the operation of the stop switch 50 is disabled. Further, the measurement time of the freeze timer can be set in advance to an optimum time according to the rotation effect rotation data applied when executing the rotation effect.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the replay C or the replay E (replay B + C + D or replay B + E + F) is won, the AT control means 130 of the effect control device 22 described later performs the AT (assist time) game period. Extension (addition of the number of AT games) is performed. Since the revolving effect is not executed as a result unless Replay C or Replay E is won, it is highly likely that AT will be added if the revolving effect is executed on the surface. Can create phenomena and increase the fun of games.
(Production control device 22)
The effect control device 22 is for controlling the lamp 68, the speaker 69, and the like based on the output signal from the game control device 21 and the operation signal of the operation means such as the start switch 30. The effect control device 22 functions at least as the AT control means 130 as shown in FIG.

(AT control means 130)
The AT control means 130 is a means for controlling an assist time (AT) in which an AT game capable of notifying the player of information related to the winning combination is performed. Specifically, the AT control means 130 is not particularly shown, but an AT flag setting means for storing that the effect state is the AT state, and a penalty flag for storing that the effect state is the penalty state. A setting means, an AT counter that counts the number of AT games, and a penalty counter that counts the number of penalty games, information relating to the result of the lottery and the game result transmitted from the game control device 21, and the AT counter and penalty counter The start (setting) and end (initialization) of the AT are controlled based on the count value.

That is, when the predetermined AT start condition is met, the AT flag is established, the production state is shifted to the AT state (a state where a specific notification is performed), and the predetermined AT end condition is met. The AT flag is reset, the AT state is ended, and the effect state is returned to the normal state (a state that is neither the AT state nor the penalty state, hereinafter referred to as a sub normal state). While the AT flag is established, the image display device 67, the speaker 69, and the like are notified of the winning combination on the condition that the number of remaining AT games is one or more.
In the present embodiment, the AT starts after the bonus ends when a predetermined opportunity, specifically, an AT lottery performed at the time of winning the bonus is won, and a predetermined re-game player wins or a predetermined number of AT games. It is set to end by either digestion. In addition, as an AT mode, there are generally one informing the operation order of the stop switch 50 and one informing an indicator symbol (a symbol indicating the type of winning combination). In the present embodiment, the stop switch 50 The operation order is notified. Specifically, when a predetermined re-playing combination (replay A + G, replay A + B + G) in which the pressing order is set is selected, the predetermined pressing order is navigated. In addition to this, during a predetermined gaming state, the winning combination of the replay C and the replay E, which are the triggers for executing the specific role, that is, the spinning effect is formed.

Furthermore, when the replay C or the replay E is won, the AT control means 130 increases the number of AT games unless a penalty is imposed. That is, the AT counter adds a count of the number of AT games. The addition value may be set in advance, or may be determined by lottery at the time of determination of addition (when receiving the winning information of Replay C or Replay E). Note that the addition of the number of AT games is performed regardless of whether or not the spinning effect is executed.
The penalty state described above is set when an irregular push (stop operation in a push order other than the first left stop) is performed when the state is not the AT state. During the penalty state, the AT lottery at the time of winning the bonus is not performed for a predetermined number of games, and the AT is not added even if Replay C or Replay E is won.

(Direction state transition control process)
Next, a specific example of the transition of the production state based on the control of the AT control means 130 will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 13 (A), when an AT lottery performed at the time of winning a bonus is won, the AT state is set (the AT flag is set), and a predetermined number of AT games is added (set). The When the AT state is set, navigation is performed according to a predetermined condition when the bonus is finished and the gaming state becomes the normal state.
FIG. 10 shows the flow of the transition process of the effect state when the game state is the normal state. In normal times, the AT counter does not subtract the number of AT games. As a result, the number of AT games does not become 0 in the normal state in the AT state except in the case of initialization. On the other hand, the penalty game number is subtracted for each game (step 401 in FIG. 10). In other words, in the normal state, the penalty state is eliminated by a predetermined number of game digests (steps 414 to 416 in FIG. 10).

  If the AT state is also in the normal state, the navigation of reverse pressing (exactly, other than the first left stop) is performed when the replay A + G is won (steps 404 to 406 in FIG. 10). That is, navigation for displaying Replay A is performed. For example, the pressing order of the stop switch 50 is displayed on the image display unit 67 by an arrow or a character. When the player performs a stop operation according to the navigation and Replay A wins, the gaming state shifts to RT1. On the other hand, when the navigation is not followed, the replay G always wins, but in this case, the AT is initialized (steps 407 to 409 in FIG. 10). As shown in FIG. 13B, the initialization is to set the production state to the sub normal state (that is, reset the AT flag), set the AT game number counter to 0, and end the AT state. . In addition, you may form so that step 408, 409 of FIG. 10 may not be performed (it is not initialized by the replay G winning a prize).

Also, when the player is not in the AT state and performs a stop operation in a pressing order other than the first left stop to win Replay A, a predetermined number of games is set as a penalty (step 410 in FIG. 10). ~ 413). When the replay B is won in the RT1 state in the penalty state and the state is shifted to the RT2 state, when the replay C or the replay E wins, the spinning effect based on the control of the game control device 21 is executed, but the replay is performed. No AT will be added based on winning C or Replay E.
FIG. 11 shows the flow of the transition process of the effect state when the gaming state is the RT1 state. When the gaming state shifts to the RT1 state and the number of AT games remains (the number of AT games is 1 or more), a so-called ART state in which AT is performed during RT is set (hereinafter, the same applies to RT2 to RT4). In the AT state during the RT1 state, the AT counter subtracts the number of AT games (steps 500 and 501 in FIG. 11). Then, when the number of AT games is 1 or more and the replay A + G or the replay A + B + G is won, navigation for displaying the replay A is performed (steps 504 to 506 in FIG. 11). That is, when the replay A + G is won, the order of pushing other than the first left stop is navigated, and when the replay A + B + G is won, the first left stop is navigated. When the player performs a stop operation according to the navigation and Replay A wins, the RT1 state is maintained. On the other hand, when the navigation is not followed, the replay G always wins, but in this case, the AT is initialized (steps 507 to 509 in FIG. 11). As described above, the game state shifts from the RT1 state to the normal state (falls down) by winning the replay G.

  When the number of AT games becomes 0 regardless of initialization (result of subtraction of the number of AT games), the AT counter does not subtract the number of AT games any more, and the replay game in which the push order is set. Even if the role is won, navigation is not performed. In this state, since the AT flag is not reset, the AT state is maintained as the state. This state is called a fall standby state from the AT. If an event corresponding to the addition of the number of AT games occurs during the fall standby state, the state returns to the AT state where navigation can be performed again. However, if the replay A + G (+ B) is won and the replay G wins in the fall standby state, the AT is initialized (see steps 508 to 509 in FIG. 11). As a result, the RT1 state falls properly to the normal state.

On the other hand, when the gaming state is the RT1 state without the AT flag, as described above, it is a penalty state. In this state, the penalty counter does not subtract the penalty game number. To get out of the penalty state, the replay G must be won to return from the RT1 state to the normal state.
FIG. 12 shows the flow of the transition process of the effect state when the game state is the RT2 to RT4 state. Although omitted in FIG. 12, when the gaming state shifts to the RT2, RT3, or RT4 state and the number of AT games remains, the AT counter subtracts the number of AT games. In this way, the AT state is ended by digesting a predetermined number of games, and is ended when Replay A wins even if the number of AT games remains.

  Then, when the number of AT games is 1 or more in the RT2 to RT4 states and the replay B + C + D or the replay B + E + F is won, the winning of the replay C or the replay E is notified (steps 602 to 604 in FIG. 12). . That is, the symbol “red 7A” constituting the replay C or the symbol “red 7B” constituting the replay E is directly or indirectly displayed on the image display unit 67 so that the player can configure the symbol “red” of the replay C. 7A "or the replay E configuration symbol" Red 7B "is suggested to perform the stop operation. When Replay C wins based on the stop operation, the gaming state shifts from the RT4 state to the RT3 state, and the spinning effect is executed. When Replay E wins, the gaming state shifts from the RT3 state to the RT4 state, and the spinning effect is executed. Further, as described above, when Replay C or Replay E is won, the number of AT games is added by a predetermined number of games (Step 605 in FIG. 12).

On the other hand, in the case of the RT2 to RT3 state without the AT flag, as described above, it is a penalty state. In this state, the penalty counter does not subtract the penalty game number. Further, even if Replay C or Replay E is won, navigation is not performed and the number of AT games is not added (step 603 in FIG. 12). In order to get out of the penalty state, the replay A must be won and returned to the RT1 state, and the replay G must be won in the RT1 state and returned to the normal state.
Since it is formed as described above, by performing a stop operation according to the notification, the game state progresses properly, and if the game progresses in this way, the possibility of extending the AT period also increases. Will be.

Here, the management of the AT state and the penalty state may be performed based on the control of the game control device 21. In this case, it is possible to perform control so that AT is not added and the spinning effect is not executed even when the state is shifted to the RT3 state or the RT4 state in a penalty state. When formed in this way, the turning effect is not executed and the AT is not added, and the turning effect and the AT addition can be inseparably associated with each other.
The AT mode is not limited to the above. For example, a plurality of areas where multiple re-game players are selected in a different manner are provided, and a pressing order is set for each area, and when a stop operation is performed in a pressing order corresponding to the selected area (correct pressing order) If a recombination combination (correct answer) with a combination of symbols wins a prize and a stop operation is performed in a pressing order that does not correspond to the selected area (incorrect answer pressing order), another replaying combination (incorrect answering) You may form so that it may do.

In addition, the combination to be notified may be a small combination. In the above example, the correct answerer with more payouts wins when the stop operation is performed in the correct push order, and the incorrect answerer with less payout (or no payout) is received when the stop operation is performed in the incorrect answer push order. It may be displayed.
Further, for example, “Bell 1” consisting of a combination of three small roles each including one symbol placed at a position that cannot be aimed at the left reel 41 at the same time, “Red 7 Bell Bell”, and “Blue "Bell 2" consisting of the symbol combination of "7 Bell Bell" and "Bell 3" consisting of the symbol combination of "White 7 Bell Bell". Any one of red 7, blue 7, and white 7 may be navigated.

(Operation of slot machine 10)
Next, an outline of the operation of the slot machine 10 having the above configuration based on the control of the game control device 21 will be described based on the flow of FIG.
First, in step 100 shown in FIG. 7, it is determined whether or not a prescribed number of medals has been bet. Here, the prescribed number is the number of medals that can be multiplied in one game, and the slot machine 10 can multiplex up to three medals. The prescribed number may be changed according to the gaming state. For example, the prescribed number can be set to one during a bonus game. The bet includes an automatic bet by replay operation in addition to insertion of medals and operation of the bet switch 16. If the specified number of medals is not bet, the process returns to step 100. If the specified number of medals is inserted, the process proceeds to the next step 101.

In step 101, it is determined whether or not the start switch 30 is turned on. If the start switch 30 is not turned ON, the process returns to step 101. If the start switch 30 is turned ON, the process proceeds to the next step 102.
In step 102, the role lottery means 70 performs a role lottery process. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 103.
In step 103, a spinning effect determination process is performed. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 104.
In step 104, rotation start processing of the rotary reel 40 is performed. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 105.

In step 105, it is determined whether or not any of the stop switches 50 is turned on. If the stop switch 50 is not turned ON, the process returns to step 105. If any stop switch 50 is turned ON, the process proceeds to the next step 106.
In step 106, a rotation stop process for the rotary reel 40 is performed. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 107.
In step 107, it is determined whether all the rotary reels 40 have been stopped, that is, whether the stop switch 50 corresponding to the three rotary reels 40 has been operated. When all the rotating reels 40 are not stopped, the process returns to step 105, and when all the rotating reels 40 are stopped, the process proceeds to the next step 108.

In step 108, a game result determination process is performed. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 109, and processing according to the game result is performed. That is, when a symbol constituting a predetermined combination is displayed on the active line, a payout medal, a re-game operation or a transition process to a bonus game is performed, and one game is completed. If the symbol array stopped on the active line does not constitute any role, one game is finished as it is.
Next, the spinning effect determination process in step 103 will be described based on the flow of FIG.
First, in step 200 of FIG. 8, an execution lottery process is performed, and in the next step 201, it is determined whether or not the execution lottery has been won. If the execution lottery is not won, the process is terminated as it is. If the execution lottery is won, the process proceeds to the next step 202.

In step 202, it is determined whether or not the gaming state is in the RT3 state, that is, whether or not the RT3 flag is established. If not in the RT3 state, the process proceeds to the next step 203.
In step 203, it is determined whether or not the gaming state is the RT4 state, that is, whether or not the RT4 flag is established. If it is not in the RT4 state, the process is terminated as it is, and if it is in the RT4 state, the process proceeds to the next step 204.
In step 202, if the gaming state is the RT3 state, the process skips step 203 and proceeds to step 204.

In step 204, it is determined whether or not the game is the first game after shifting to the gaming state. If it is not the first game, the process is ended as it is, and if it is the first game, the process proceeds to the next step 205.
In step 205, execution of the spinning effect is determined. Then, the process ends.
In the above flow, whether or not the RT4 state is determined after determining whether or not it is in the RT3 state may be determined first. Further, the execution lottery in step 200 may be performed so that the execution of the spinning effect is always determined when other conditions are satisfied.

Next, the reel rotation start process in step 104 of FIG. 7 will be described based on the flow of FIG.
In step 300 of FIG. 9, it is determined whether or not to execute the spinning effect, that is, whether or not the spinning effect control means 120 has decided to execute the spinning effect. When executing the spinning effect, the process proceeds to the next step 301.
In step 301, the motor control means 94 acquires predetermined rotation effect rotation data as acceleration data used for starting the reel rotation. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 302.
In step 302, the freeze timer starts counting time. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 303, where the rotary reel 40 is operated based on the spinning drum effect rotation data. For example, the rotating reel 40 is reversely rotated by the reverse rotation driving of the reel motor M, the forward rotation and the reverse rotation of the reel motor M are repeated in small increments to vibrate the rotating reel 40, or the driving speed of the reel motor M is made different from usual. Thus, the rotating reel 40 can be rotated at a speed different from the normal rotating speed. At this time, the reel control means 90 does not refer to the current position of the symbol, and drives the reel motor M based on the time or the number of steps set in the rotation effect rotation data. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 304.

In step 304, it is determined whether the freeze timer has expired. Here, as described above, the time set for the timer is set in advance because the time required for executing the rotation effect control based on the rotation effect rotation data is set in advance. Never do. If the timer has not expired, the process returns to step 303. If the timer has expired, the process proceeds to the next step 305.
In step 305, normal rotation data is acquired as acceleration data. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 306, where the rotary reel 40 is operated based on the normal rotation data. Specifically, when the rotating reel 40 is stopped at the end of the spinning effect, the reel motor M of the stopped rotating reel 40 is driven at normal acceleration. Further, in the case where the rotating reel 40 is rotating at the end of the spinning effect, if the speed is a steady rotational speed, the driving is continued as it is. In this way, it is driven at a predetermined acceleration. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 307.

  In step 307, it is determined whether or not the rotational speed of the rotary reel 40 has reached a predetermined steady rotational speed, for example, whether or not the acceleration control program based on the normal rotational data has ended. If the rotating reels 40 have reached steady rotation, it is determined in the next step 308 whether or not the first index has been detected for all the rotating reels 40. When index detection is performed, symbol position determination by the symbol determination unit 93 is started by index detection. Then, in the next step 309, it is determined whether or not the game time limit (wait time) has elapsed. If the game time limit has elapsed, in the next step 310, the stop operation invalid canceling means 95 stops the operation. Invalidation of operation is canceled. Then, the reel rotation start process ends.

(Summary)
As described above, according to the present embodiment, the condition for executing the spinning effect is set to the first game in the specific game state (RT3 or RT4 state), and the specific game state is set to the specific game state. Since the transition is made only by winning, when the specific symbol arrangement constituting the specific combination is displayed, the spinning effect can always be executed. That is, even without referring to the stop symbol, the spinning effect can be surely executed with a specific outcome by monitoring the gaming state. Further, since the current position of the symbol is not referred to when executing the spinning effect, the burden on the CPU can be reduced.

  In the present embodiment, the transition symbol to RT4 (Replay E) is won with high probability during the RT3 state, and the transition symbol (Replay C) to RT3 is elected with high probability during the RT4 state. Therefore, state fluctuations can frequently occur between RT3 and RT4. Also, the RT3 transition symbol is not displayed (not selected) during the RT3 state, the RT4 transition symbol is not displayed during the RT4 state, and only in the first game that transitions to RT3 or RT4. Production is to be executed. For this reason, the spinning effect is continuously executed (the red 7A alignment and the red 7B alignment to the center line may occur alternately), and the interest is deepened.

In addition, since the AT can be executed in the gaming state (RT2, RT3, RT4) in which the specific role can be won and the AT is notified when the specific role is won, the specific symbol combination of the specific role ( Red 7A alignment) can be efficiently targeted. In addition to this, there is a combination (Replay D, Replay F) that includes at least one symbol (Red 7A or Red 7B) that constitutes the specific combination as a combination to be won at the same time as the specific combination. However, it is possible to follow up when it is removed (there is no possibility of losing a re-gamer) and to enhance the scolding effect on the player.
Furthermore, since the addition of the AT is determined by the winning of the specific combination and the advantage improvement of the AT is linked with the spinning performance, the gameability is further increased.

(Modification)
In the embodiment described above, the role lottery table 71 is formed so that the replay probabilities (total values) in the three RT states are the same, but the replay probabilities of RT1 to RT3 may be different from each other. .
And the transition opportunity to RT3 or RT4 is not restricted to re-game operation (replay C, E winning). When a specific small part winning prize or a specific outcome (blank symbol) that does not constitute a part is displayed, the game may be shifted to RT3 or RT4 which is a gaming state in which the spinning effect can be executed. As a specific example, if a specific small role is stopped in a predetermined pressing order (for example, reverse pressing) and then dropped, a specific outcome is always displayed (such stop control is performed). When a specific outcome is displayed, the process moves to RT3, and when a specific small role different from the specific small role is stopped in a predetermined pressing order and is dropped, another specific output is displayed. When the eyes are displayed without fail, and other specific events are displayed, it can be configured to shift to RT4. Of course, with regard to the timing of transition to RT3 or RT4, one may be set as a specific winning combination, and the other may be set as a specific outcome display.

Note that the specific outcome may not be displayed on the active line, and may be displayed simultaneously with the winning of the specific combination. Alternatively, when the lottery result is a loss and a predetermined case (for example, when the operation timing of the stop switch 50 is a specific timing), a specific outcome may be displayed.
In the embodiment described above, one effective line is set as the center line. However, a plurality of effective lines may be provided so that the RT3 transition symbol and the RT4 transition symbol are displayed simultaneously. For example, if the effective line is set to the center line and the lower line (or the upper line) and only the replay C (red 7A alignment) is displayed during the RT2 state, the process proceeds to RT3, and the replay E When only (Red 7B aligned) is displayed, the process proceeds to RT4, and when Replay C and Replay E are displayed at the same time, it is configured to transition to either one of RT3 and RT4. To do. When replay C and replay E are simultaneously displayed during the RT3 state, the process proceeds to RT4. When replay C and replay E are simultaneously displayed during the RT4 state, the process proceeds to RT3. When formed in this way, it is not necessary to set a plurality of winning areas for symbol combinations (red 7A aligned, red 7B aligned) that are to be used as triggers for executing the spinning effect in the winning lottery table 71. Specifically, in the role lottery table 71 used for RT2-4, it is necessary to have two winning areas, that is, a winning area where Replay C wins and Replay E does not win, and a winning area where Replay E wins and Replay C does not win. It is sufficient if there is one winning area where Replay C and Replay E win. Thereby, it is possible to reduce the data area allocated to the winning lottery table 71 for RT2-4.

Furthermore, it is sufficient that there are at least two different game states. For example, there are a normal state and a game state (for example, a bonus state) different from the normal state, and the execution condition determining means 122 is provided with a bonus at the time of winning the execution lottery. Whether or not the first game in the state is determined may be determined to determine whether or not to execute the spinning effect.
The present invention can also be applied to gaming machines other than slot machines. For example, the present invention can be applied to a parrot game machine that uses a game ball (pachinko ball) as a game medium to perform a game similar to a slot machine.
