The “game medium” referred to in the present invention includes game medals (medals used for games), game balls (balls used for games), electromagnetic recording of “storage device”, and the like.
Here, the “storage device” refers to a button that stores a game medal inserted into the gaming machine and a game medal acquired by the game, so that the player does not newly insert a game medal into the gaming machine. By operating other devices, a predetermined number of game medals from among the stored game medals can be used for games one after another. Depending on the game medals and games thrown into the game machine, This means that the number obtained by subtracting the total number of games used for the game from the total number of acquired game medals can be recorded by an electromagnetic method ("Rules for the recognition of game machines and type verification, etc." ( Article 6 Attached Table 2 (1) F).

  “Condition device” is a device whose operation is a condition necessary for displaying a combination of symbols related to the operation of winning, replaying, an accessory or an accessory continuous operation device. That operates when a lottery ("internal lottery") is won by an electronic computer (Article 6 Attached Table 2 (3) E) The “internal lottery” referred to in the present invention has the same meaning as the “internal lottery” referred to in Article 6 Attached Table 2 (3) E of the gaming machine rules.

“Winning” means that a predetermined combination as a combination necessary for acquiring a game medal or the like is displayed for a symbol (Guide Machine Rules Article 6 Attached Table 2 (3) D). The condition device relating to the winning is supposed to end its operation when the result of the game is obtained once (the gaming machine rule Article 6 Attached Table 5 (1) re (e)) .
“Re-game” refers to a game that can be performed without having to insert a game medal (including the use of a game medal for a game by operating a button or other device related to a storage device). Say (Attached Table 2 (3) b) of the Game Machine Rules. The condition device related to re-game is also supposed to end its operation when the result of the game is obtained once (Article 6 Attached Table 5 (1) ). In addition, the probability that the condition device related to re-game is activated for each setting and each specified number is defined as a predetermined value from 10/73 or more (the gaming machine rule No. 6 Article 5 (1) c (d)), the reproach operation probability is 10/73, that is, 1 / 7.3, even in the lowest case.

In the present invention, when referring to an accessory, in addition to “ordinary accessory”, “first type special feature”, and “second type special feature”, a first type special feature or a second type special feature is continuously provided. Include a “continuous actuating device” that can be activated. Further, in the present invention, a role that is not an accessory related to “winning” and “replay” is referred to as “non-community”, and a non-actual item related to “winning” is referred to as “no winning combination”, An accessory is also referred to as a “replaying player”. The “winning part” is also called “small part”.

Of the “acts”, “ordinary features” refers to a prescribed number (the number of game medals that need to be inserted in order to obtain a game result once, for each type of game. ) Increases the number of symbol combinations related to each winning prize, or increases the probability that the “condition device” related to winnings per specified number will operate, and activates when a particular symbol combination is displayed However, when the result of one game is obtained, it means that the operation is to be terminated (Attached Table 2 (3) of Table 6 of the Game Machine Rules).
“First-class special feature” is a feature that increases the number of symbol combinations related to winnings per prescribed number or increases the probability that a conditional device related to winnings per prescribed number will operate. It means that the operation can be continued until the game result is obtained no more than 12 times (game machine rule Article 6 Attached Table 2 (3) G).
"Type 2 special bonus" is a bonus that activates a condition device related to winning a prize regardless of the result of the internal lottery. (Table 3 (Attached Table 2 (3) No. 2)).
“Consecutive equipment continuous operation device” is a device that can continuously operate a first-class special product or a second-class special product, and is activated when a specific symbol combination is displayed. If it is done, it means that the operation is terminated (Attached Table 2 (3) h) of the Game Machine Rules Article 6 Attached Table 2).

  According to the present invention, “variable display of the corresponding variable display element is stopped within the predetermined movement allowable range based on the operation of the stop switch corresponding to each of the variable display elements” is specified in the gaming machine rule Article 6 Appendix As defined in the fifth (1) A (G) "Rotation of the rotating drum shall stop within 190 ms after operating a button, lever or other device for operating the rotation stop device." And, in the same attached table 5 (1) F (E) "If the second type special feature is in operation, after one or more of the rotating cylinders, such as operating the stop button, This is a limitation from the viewpoint of satisfying the regulations such as “stop within 75 ms”. Stopping within 190 ms means that in many cases, the time required for a symbol to move by one frame, that is, one symbol, is about 35.7 ms. Therefore, an integer solution of ((190 ÷ 35.7) -1) = 4 frames is the maximum number of moving (maximum sliding) frames.

  The “effective line” as used in the present invention refers to a pattern in which display positions of symbols arranged in the same or different steps as the adjacent symbols are connected by one straight line or one broken line between the stopped variable display elements. Among the combinations of display positions, when a game result is obtained once, the presence / absence of a symbol combination corresponding to the result of the internal lottery is determined, and a game value corresponding to the result of the internal lottery is given based on the determination result It means things that will be.

The “main control device” as used in the present invention refers to a control device for a gaming machine that performs a control having a function that affects or may affect the game result. This is a concept in which the physical element of the board is removed from the “main board” defined in the gaming machine rules. The “main board” is a board having a function that affects or may affect the game result, and is a board other than a board on which only electronic components for connecting wirings are mounted ( Gaming Machine Rules Article 6 Attached Table 2 (1) b).
The “peripheral control device” in the present invention is a control device other than the control by the main control device among the control devices of the gaming machine, and affects or may affect the game result.

A communication specification that satisfies the requirements.

The present invention is based on the above assumptions.
In the main controller (MC),
First freeze generating means (X1) for generating a first freeze that temporarily suspends the progress of the game with the provision of predetermined game conditions;
An irregular driving mode selection that selects a specific irregular driving mode based on a selection operation by a player from a plurality of predetermined irregular driving modes that drive the variable display element in an irregular mode different from normal during the occurrence of the first freeze. Means (Y);
Second freeze generating means (X2) for generating a second freeze that interrupts the progress of the game, triggered by the game start operation of the subsequent game after the release of the temporary suspension by the first freeze;
During the occurrence of the second freeze, the variable display element is irregularly controlled in the specific irregularity driving mode selected by the irregular driving mode selection means (Y) according to the provision of a predetermined starting condition that is determined by a starting operation by the player. Anomalous drive execution means (Z) for driving and releasing the second freeze and advancing the game by providing a predetermined release condition is provided.

In addition, the peripheral control device (SC)
In response to the occurrence of the first freeze and / or the second freeze, the condition device related to the operation determined by the internal lottery received from the main control device (MC) under a predetermined operation specification Assist display means (A1) for displaying stop switch operation information on the effect display device (7);
Assist operation specification changing means (A2) for advantageously changing the operation specifications of the assist display means (A1) according to the execution result of the irregular drive from the generation to the release of the second freeze is provided.

  As a result, a first freeze occurs in which the progress of the game is temporarily interrupted when the predetermined game conditions are met. During the occurrence of the first freeze, the player can select a plurality of predetermined freezes by his / her own selection operation. A specific irregular drive mode can be selected from the irregular drive modes. Next, a second freeze that interrupts the progress of the game is triggered by a game start operation of the subsequent game after the suspension of the first freeze is released. During the second freeze, the player With the start operation, the variable display element can be irregularly driven in a specific irregular drive mode selected by itself by providing a predetermined start condition determined by the start operation. The second freeze is canceled due to the provision of a predetermined release condition, and the normal game progress is resumed. The operation specifications of the assist display means are advantageously changed by the player in accordance with the execution result of the irregular drive from the occurrence of the second freeze to the release. Thus, first, by the occurrence of the first freeze, the player can expect the operation of the assist display means and can select the preferred specific irregular drive mode, and the player has selected by the occurrence of the second freeze in the subsequent game. The operation specifications of the assist display means can be advantageously changed according to the execution result of the irregular drive according to the specific irregular drive mode, and the interest can be effectively enhanced.

  The starting condition in the anomalous drive execution means (Z) is won by an irregular driving lottery that is executed by a starting operation by a player and re-executed by a restarting operation by a player after an irregular driving at the time of winning. It is preferable that the cancellation condition in the irregular drive execution means (Z) is that there is no winning in the irregular drive lottery.

  As a result, as long as the winning in the irregular drive lottery continues during the occurrence of the second freeze, the irregular driving can be executed in the specific irregular driving mode selected by the player himself, and the second freeze is caused by the absence of the winning in the irregular driving lottery. It is released and returns to normal game progress. For this reason, during the second freeze, it is possible to construct an easy-to-understand gameability that expects how many times irregular driving can be executed.

  The assist operation specification changing means (A2) is a specification that allows the player to advantageously change the operation specification of the assist display means (A1) as the number of times of irregular driving from the occurrence of the second freeze to the release is increased. It is preferable.

  Thus, as the number of executions of the irregular drive from the occurrence of the second freeze to the release is increased, the operation specifications of the assist display means are advantageously changed by the player. Therefore, the specific irregularity selected by the player during the second freeze is selected. The operating specifications of the assist display means can be advantageously changed under a situation that strongly reflects the intention of how many times the drive mode can be performed, and the interest can be enhanced more effectively.

  Each of the plurality of anomalous drive modes selectable by the anomalous drive mode selection means (Y) can start the anomalous drive in association with a start operation by a different player, and the non-corresponding start operation performs an anomaly drive. It is preferable that the specification cannot be started.

  Thereby, the player can irregularly drive the variable display element in the specific irregular drive mode selected by himself only by the start operation corresponding to the selected specific irregular drive mode, and can be irregularly driven in other start operations. Since this is not possible, the distinction between the respective irregular operation modes becomes clearer, and it is possible to enjoy the irregular driving in which the player's selection action is more strongly reflected.

In the main controller (MC),
An irregular drive avoiding means (YN) that accepts a selection operation for avoiding the irregular drive without selecting the irregular drive modes that can be selected by the irregular drive mode selecting means (Y) during the occurrence of the first freeze is provided,
The assist operation specification changing means (A2) provided in the peripheral control device (SC)
Even when a selection operation for avoiding the irregular drive is accepted by the irregular drive avoiding means (YN), it has a specification that allows the player to advantageously change the operation specification of the assist display means (A1) by a predetermined change specification. Is preferred.

  As a result, a player who does not necessarily like irregular driving can avoid irregular driving on his / her own intention, and in this case also, the operation specification of the assist display means is not based on no profit but with a predetermined change specification. Can be advantageously changed by the player, so that it can flexibly meet the various needs of the player.

In the peripheral control device (SC),
Selection operation information display means (B1) for causing the effect display device (7) to display selection operation information for prompting a selection operation by the player in the irregular drive mode selection means (Y);
It is preferable to provide start operation information display means (B2) for causing the effect display device (7) to display start operation information for prompting a start operation by the player in the irregular drive execution means (Z).

  Thus, while watching the selection operation information displayed by the selection operation information display means during the first freeze, the player can accurately select the favorite irregular driving mode, and during the second freeze, the start operation information display means is used. While viewing the displayed start operation information, the player can accurately start the irregular drive according to the irregular drive mode selected by himself / herself.

In the peripheral control device (SC),
Assist operation specification information display means (B3) for displaying information on the operation specifications of the assist display means (A1) after the change in the assist operation specification change means (A2) on the effect display device (7) is provided. preferable.

  As a result, the profits gained during the second freeze will be clear to the player and the results will be known, as well as the ability to select their own choice during the first freeze. Since it was bad, it can be used for the determination of a later selection operation, such as trying to select another irregular drive mode next time, or selecting the same irregular drive mode next time because it was good this time.

The predetermined game condition for generating the first freeze is a part of a condition device that determines whether or not the operation can be performed in the internal lottery, and the condition device that terminates the operation when a game result is obtained once. It is preferable that a specific condition device selected in advance is won in a freeze lottery executed in the current game when continuously operated in the current game and a past game that dates back from the current game.
Here, the condition device that terminates the operation when the game result is obtained once corresponds to the condition device related to the winning combination and the condition device related to the re-game combination.

  As a result, in order to receive the freeze lottery, it is necessary to continuously operate a specific condition device selected in advance. Therefore, the frequency of occurrence of the first and second freezes can be moderately suppressed, and the operation frequency of the assist display means is also reduced. It can be moderately suppressed.

  The first freeze is preferably generated after the variable display of the variable display element in the current game won in the freeze lottery is completely stopped.

  As a result, since the first freeze occurs after the variable display element is completely stopped in the current game, the selection of the specific irregular drive mode can be performed from the stop state that naturally occurs in the normal game flow, and in the subsequent game The expectation can be effectively maintained for the execution of the irregular operation during the occurrence of the second freeze.

  It is preferable that the winning probability in the freeze lottery is increased as the number of continuous operations of the specific condition device increases.

  As a result, the continuous operation of the specific condition device selected in advance becomes less likely to occur as the number of times increases, but conversely, if the number of continuous operations rarely occurs, it is easy to win the freeze lottery, and the assist display means also It becomes easy to operate.

  It is preferable that the start condition in the irregular drive execution means has a specification such that the probability that the condition is satisfied increases as the number of continuous operations of the specific condition device increases.

  As a result, the continuous operation of the specific condition device selected in advance becomes less likely to occur as the number of times increases, but conversely, if the number of continuous times rarely occurs, it is easy to win the freeze lottery and execute irregular driving. Since it becomes easy to have the starting condition in the means, the expectation that the assist operation specification by the irregular drive is advantageously changed can be increased more effectively.

  The start condition in the irregular drive execution means is the time when the first freeze occurs when the specific condition device is activated in the internal lottery executed based on the game start operation that triggers the second freeze. It is preferable that the specification is such that the probability of satisfying the condition is high based on the updated number of continuous operations that is updated by adding 1 to the number of continuous operations of the specific condition device.

  As a result, the starting condition in the irregular drive execution means is more easily provided, and therefore the expectation that the assist operation specification by the irregular drive is advantageously changed can be further effectively increased.

The main controller (MC)
An initial gaming state (RT0) in which the operation probability of the condition device relating to re-playing that can be performed without the insertion of a game medium next time is a normal value;
In the initial gaming state (RT0), a transition is made on condition that a combination of predetermined first specific symbols (d opportunity 11, d opportunity 12, d opportunity 13, d opportunity 14) is displayed, and the operation related to re-game Special replay (push order replay 1, push order) that has the same or almost the same probability as the normal value, but the combination of symbols displayed on the condition device related to replay differs depending on the operation sequence of the stop switch. A first replay time (RT1) using the condition device according to replay 2);
Condition that a combination of predetermined second specific symbols (d opportunity 2) included in the symbol combination displayed when the condition device relating to the special replay is activated during the first replay time (RT1) is displayed. And re-game including a second replay time (RT2) in which the operation probability related to re-playing is higher than the normal value and the operation probability related to re-playing is returned to the normal value by providing a predetermined end condition. Probability variation means (RV)
A condition device related to the special replay (push order replay 1, push order replay 2) that determines whether or not to operate in the first replay time (RT1) is added to the specific condition device related to execution of the freeze lottery. Preferably it is included.

  Thereby, at the first replay time, it is determined whether or not the condition device related to the special replay can be operated, and the condition device related to the special replay requires a specific operation that requires continuous operation in order to execute the freeze lottery. Included in the condition device, the operation probability of special replay is the same or almost the same as the normal value, but every time it is expected to operate with a probability of at least 1 / 7.3 The continuous operation of the condition device can also be expected at a certain frequency. For this reason, the first replay time is a useful preparation period for advantageously changing the operation specifications of the assist display means in association with the irregular driving by generating the first and second freezes. In order to actually shift from the first replay time to the second replay time, it is a condition that the operation sequence of the stop switch is informed under the operation of the assist display means and the combination of the second specific symbols can be displayed. If the transition is made to the 2 replay time, an advantageous game state of an assist replay time (hereinafter referred to as “ART”) combining a high replay operation probability and the operation of the assist display means starts from the beginning of the transition.

  The first and second freezes generated in the preceding and following game times can be closely and organically related. First, in the first freeze, the player can select an irregular drive mode of a variable display element such as a reel. By making the irregular drive selected by the player in the subsequent second freeze on the gaming machine side, an advantageous AT specification can be obtained, and the interest can be enhanced in two stages and effectively.

In addition, the next symbols are seen slightly above the upper stage U of each row because when the symbols scroll from top to bottom, the player pushes the desired symbols in the display window 80 by so-called pushing. This is because it is considered to make it easy to stop.

  The game basic lamps 30 include a credit indicator D1 combined with a 7-segment LED for displaying the current number of credits in numbers, and a 7-segment LED for displaying in numbers the number of game medals that a player can acquire by one winning. Combined payout display D2, bet display D3 consisting of 7-segment LEDs for displaying the number of medals to be displayed in numbers, insert lamp E1 that lights when a game medal can be received, and operation of start lever 5 can be received There are provided a start lamp E2 that is sometimes lit and a replay lamp E3 that is lit when a combination of symbols relating to replay is displayed.

  When the insert lamp E1 is lit, the bet display D3 becomes “1” when one game medal is inserted from the medal slot 2 with the hanging medal being 0, and “2” when one more is inserted, and another one is inserted. Then, “3” is obtained, and the betting medal is in a maximum bet state of three, the start lamp E2 is turned on, and the start lever 5 can be operated. When game medals are further inserted from the medal insertion slot 2 from the maximum bet state, the counter of the credit indicator D1 is advanced and can be stored up to a predetermined upper limit of 50 records. Up to 50 game medals to be paid out by winning are added to the credit, and game medals paid out exceeding 50 are paid out from the medal discharge port 8M to the medal tray 8G.

  In the present embodiment, when the 1-sheet bet button 31 is pressed, it is possible to deduct one credit from the credits and apply up to 2 medals. However, the maximum bet button 3 is finally pushed to 3 sheets. The shortage of the shortage is withdrawn to make up, or the game medals for the shortage of less than three are additionally inserted from the medal slot 2 so that the game cannot be played unless the three-deck state is set. Even when the max bet button 3 is pressed when the credit is less than three, the game cannot be performed in the same manner unless the insufficient game medals less than three are inserted through the medal slot 2. In other words, the specification is for exclusive use of three sheets. Further, in the state where the three sheets are placed, one middle line (left middle LM-middle middle CM-right middle RM) is activated.

  On the reel panel 8, W1 is a win lamp that lights up under specific conditions when there is an internal winning of a BB or RB feature, and W2 is a chance to be lit during ART. It is a zone lamp. W3, W4, W5, and W6 are navigation lamps that are lit under predetermined conditions to inform the pressing order of the stop buttons, W3 is an attention lamp that is lit when the pressing order is meaningful, and W4 is the left stop button 6L. A forward-pressing lamp for giving a suggestion to be operated, W5 is a middle-pressing lamp for giving a suggestion to operate the middle stop button 6C, and W6 is a reverse-pressing lamp for giving a suggestion to operate the right stop button 6R. The lamps W1 to W6 are collectively referred to as game effect lamps, and the effect display device 7 is configured together with the liquid crystal display device 70.

  As shown in FIG. 3, on the outer peripheral surfaces of the reel bands 10L, 10C, and 10R respectively corresponding to the left reel 1L, the middle reel 1C, and the right reel 1R, an overall "red seven" "Black bar" based on black, "Bell 1" based on yellow overall, "Bell 2" with a green ribbon attached to it, and "Replay 1" based on light blue overall "Replay 2" with an asterisk in it, "Blank 1" based on light brown as a whole and "Blank 2" with its capital letter changed to lower case, the cut part is red and the skin part is "Watermelon" based on green, red for the fruit, green for the leaves, and "cherry" for the stem based on brown, all 10 symbols correspond to symbol numbers 1-20,0 And drawn by printing or the like according to a unique vertical arrangement.

The left reel band 10L has symbol numbers 1 to 20, 0, blank 2, blank 1, bell 1, watermelon, cherry, black bar, replay 2, bell 1, watermelon, blank 2, replay 2, bell 2, red Seven, Replay 2, Bell 1, Watermelon, Cherry, Blank 1, Replay 1, Bell 1, Watermelon are drawn.
In the middle reel band 10C, the symbol numbers 1 to 20, 0, bell 2, cherry, blank 2, replay 1, bell 2, blank 2, replay 1, bell 2, black bar, watermelon, blank 2, replay 2, Bell 1, cherry, blank 2, replay 2, bell 1, watermelon, red seven, blank 2, replay 1 are drawn.
On the right reel band 10R, the symbol numbers 1 to 20, 0, red seven, bell 2, replay 2, blank 2, red seven, bell 2, replay 2, blank 2, black bar, watermelon, bell 1, replay 1 , Blank 2, watermelon, bell 1, replay 1, blank 2, cherry, red seven, bell 2, replay 2 are drawn.
The reel bands 10L, 10C, 10R themselves are based on white or light single color, and the upper end and lower end of the band are connected in a ring shape, and the symbols are scrolled endlessly.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the “act” includes a big bonus (BB) as “actual continuous operation device related to the first type special feature” and a regular bonus (RB) as “first type special feature”. It is equipped with. In the embodiment, the “ordinary accessory”, the “second-type special accessory”, and the “continuous-action device related to the second-type special accessory” are not mounted. As shown in the following 1) or 2), the combination of the symbols “left reel 1L” — “middle reel 1C” — “right reel 1R” is displayed on the middle line mL which is the effective line. If it is possible to increase the number of symbol combinations related to winnings per prescribed number, or increase the probability that the condition device related to winnings per prescribed number will be activated in the game after the next time A privilege (game value) to be transferred to the state of “act game” is given.

1) Big Bonus (BB)
From “Red Seven”-“Red Seven”-“Red Seven”, the game moves from the next game to an accessory game. There is only one “Red Seven” for the left reel 1L and the middle reel 1C, and if you aim for “Red Seven” in each game, you will miss out on the winning award, so it is suddenly the game time that BB won internally. It is neither easy nor profitable to arrange “Red Seven”. Even if it is not possible to arrange “Red Seven” suddenly in the game times where BB was won internally, the BB internal winning flag will be carried forward until the next time “Red Seven” is completed, and it will be advantageous during bonus internal winning related to BB It becomes a game state.

  During a bonus game that moves after the “Red Seven” is complete, the winning medals of all winning roles to be described later will be won with a probability of, for example, 100%, and a predetermined number of game medals exceeding, for example, 300 As soon as the payout is completed, the game is finished and the game returns to the normal game state.

2) Regular bonus (RB)
“Black Bar” − “Black Bar” − “Black Bar” makes a transition from the next game to an accessory game. There is only one “black bar” for each reel 1L, 1C, 1R, and if you aim for the “black bar” in each game, you will miss the winning combination. It is not easy or profitable to arrange “black bars” suddenly. Even if the “black bar” cannot be aligned suddenly in the game times that are internally won for RB, the internal winning flag of RB will be carried forward until the next time “black bar” is aligned, and it is advantageous during bonus internal winning related to RB It becomes a game state.

  During the role game (regular bonus game) that moves after the “black bars” are aligned, every time, for example, 99.8% of the winning prizes are won, for example, 0.2% of the chance is net loss. The bonus game is completed as long as a predetermined number of game medals, for example, more than 60, are paid out, and the game returns to the normal game state.

  The “replay combination” belonging to “non-combination” includes a replay combination 1 (RP1), a replay combination 2 (RP2), and a replay combination 3 (RP3). As shown in the following 3), 4), 5) on the middle line mL which is the effective line, the symbols “left reel 1L” — “middle reel 1C” — “right reel 1R” If the combination can be displayed, the game value of the re-game that allows the next game to be executed without inserting a new game medium is given.

3) Replay role 1 (RP1)
"Replay 1 or Replay 2"-"Replay 1 or Replay 2"-"Replay 1 or Replay 2"
For each reel 1R, 1C, 1R, there are at most four other symbols between “Replay 1 or Replay 2” and “Replay 1 or Replay 2”. Are arranged in an almost evenly distributed manner. As will be described later, the combination of condition devices related to replay includes a case of RP1 alone, a case of triple overlap of RP1, RP2 and RP3, and a case of double overlap of RP2 and RP3. In this case, the replay 1 or the replay 2 is arranged in each row of the middle stage line which is an effective line regardless of the pressing order and the pressing timing of the stop buttons 6L, 6C, 6R. There are 8 arrangements of 2 × 2 × 2 in total, including only Replay 1, only Replay 2, and a mixture of both.

4) Replay role 2 (RP2)
"Bell 1 or Bell 2"-"Replay 1 or Replay 2"-"Bell 1 or Bell 2"
For the left reel 1R and the right reel 1R, there are at most four other symbols between the top and bottom of “Bell 1 or Bell 2” and “Bell 1 or Bell 2”. Are arranged in an evenly distributed manner, and for the middle reel 1C, there are at most 4 other symbols between the top and bottom of “Replay 1 or Replay 2” and “Replay 1 or Replay 2”. The number of “Replay 1 or Replay 2” is almost uniformly distributed. When RP1, RP2, and RP3 are selected for triple overlap, or when RP2 and RP3 are selected for double overlap, if the stop button 6L, 6C, 6R is pressed in any order other than a specific order, The combination of symbols of Replay role 2 is lined up. There are 8 ways to arrange them in total, 2 × 2 × 2. As a result, “Replay 1 or Replay 2” is arranged on the upper right line which is an ineffective line.

5) Replay role 3 (RP3)
"Blank 1 or Blank 2 or Red Seven or Black Bar"-"Blank 2"-"Bell 1 or Bell 2"
“Blank 1 or Blank 2” or “Red Seven or Black Bar” between the upper and lower sides of the left reel 1R, “Blank 2” between the upper and lower sides of the middle reel 1C, “Bell 1 or Bell 2” of the right reel 1R Between the upper and lower sides, there are at most four other symbols, and a large number of symbols corresponding to each column are arranged in an almost evenly distributed manner. When RP1, RP2, and RP3 are selected for triple overlap, or when RP2 and RP3 are selected for double overlap, if the stop buttons 6L, 6C, 6R are pressed in a specific order, they are replayed to each row of the middle line that is the active line Combinations of symbols for role 3 are lined up. There are 8 ways to arrange them in total, 4 × 1 × 2. As a result, “Replay 1 or Replay 2” is arranged on the upper line which is an ineffective line.

  The symbol combination “Blank 1 or Blank 2 or Red Seven or Black Bar”-“Blank 2”-“Bell 1 or Bell 2” relating to this replay role 3 (RP3) is the probability that the conditional device related to replay will operate. Gaming Machine Regulations Article 6 Attached Table 5 (1) C (d) “Condition Device for Actuation of Type 1 Special Equipment or Equipment Continuous Actuation Equipment, Type 1 Special Corresponds to “specific symbol combination” in the case where a combination of specific symbols is displayed when the accessory and the continuous accessory operating device are not operating. It is one of the so-called d trigger symbols, and is used as a d trigger 2 that is a combination of symbols that triggers a transition from a first replay time RT1 to a second replay time RT2 described later.

  The “winning combination” belonging to “non-combination” includes bell combination 1 (FR1) and bell combination 2 (FR2). As shown in the following 6) and 7), the combination of the symbols “left reel 1L”-“middle reel 1C” — “right reel 1R” is displayed on the middle line mL, which is the effective line. If it can be made, a predetermined number of game medals determined as respective payouts are paid out. In addition, the symbol FR means “small part relating to fruit”, which has been used for a long time in this type of technical field.

6) Bell role 1 (FR1);
“Replay 1 or Replay 2” − “Bell 1 or Bell 2” − “Replay 1 or Replay 2” pays out 10 sheets. As a result, “Bell 1 or Bell 2” is arranged on the right down line which is an ineffective line.
7) Bell role 2 (FR2);
"Bell 1 or Bell 2"-"Bell 1 or Bell 2"-"Bell 1 or Bell 2" pays out 10 sheets.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the “winning combination” belonging to “non-community” further includes a bell combination 3 (FR3), a bell combination 4 (FR4), a bell combination 5 (FR5), a bell combination 6 (FR6), Includes a bell role 7 (FR7), a bell role 8 (FR8), a bell role 9 (FR9), and a bell role 10 (FR10). As shown in the following 8) to 15), on the middle line mL which is an effective line, a combination of symbols of “design of the left reel 1L” − “design of the middle reel 1C” − “design of the right reel 1R” is displayed. (As a result, when “Bell 1 or Bell 2” is arranged on the upper line, which is an ineffective line), a predetermined number of game medals determined as a payout are paid out. -10 is combined with bell role 1 (FR1) or bell role 2 (FR2), and when the operation order of the stop buttons 6L, 6C, 6R becomes a predetermined correct order, the bell role 1 or bell role 2 Press that serves as a limited operation order that displays a combination of symbols and displays a missed eye that triggers a transition to the first replay time RT1 from the initial gaming state RT0 or the like, which will be described later, when the pressing order is not correct. It is used to the components of the condition device according to Bell 1-3.

8) Bell role 3 (FR3);

  FIG. 7 shows, according to gaming state, that is, the initial gaming state RT0, the first gaming state, for determining whether or not each operation is possible for all condition devices including cases where each of the above winning combinations is won alone and when two or more winning combinations are won simultaneously. The internal lottery determination value table according to replay time RT1 and 2nd replay time RT2 is shown. The initial state after the reset process such as when the power is turned on always starts from the initial gaming state RT0. The determination values other than the conditional device relating to replay (replay) are the same without any difference due to the difference between the game states RT0, RT1, and RT2. A determination value of “0” means that there is no corresponding winning and the winning probability is zero.

  The gaming state is shifted from the gaming state of any one of these RT0, RT1, and RT2 in addition to the initial gaming state RT0, the first replay time RT1, and the second replay time RT2, and is a condition device related to the BB or RB accessory. In the game state during the so-called bonus internal winning where the operation of the game is carried over across game times, only the winning probability of re-playing is raised to a predetermined value, for example, 1/2, from 1 / 7.3 in normal gaming There are a third replay time and a gaming state during a game of a bonus game in which a winning combination of almost all winning prizes is won each time during a game of a BB or RB. From the table of FIG. 7, these third replay time and The figures of the game state during the game are omitted.

  The operation of each condition device is determined by an internal lottery performed by the main controller MC, and is used for an internal lottery that is updated at a high speed in the main controller MC based on the operation timing of the start lever 5 under a three-sheet maximum bet state. One internal lottery random number is extracted from the random number counter, and the determination value assigned to each condition device is sequentially subtracted from the extracted random number value, and the condition device at the time when the negative value is reached is selected.

  Then, while allowing only the symbol combinations corresponding to the condition device related to the winning to be displayed on the effective line, the symbol combinations corresponding to the condition device not winning is not displayed on the effective line. Based on the operation timing of each stop button 6L, 6C, 6R, the corresponding reels 1L, 1C, 1R are stopped within the range of the maximum number of moving (maximum slip) frames of 4 frames. Because there is a limit on the maximum number of sliding frames, depending on the timing of pressing each of the stop buttons 6L, 6C, 6R, the combination of symbols corresponding to the condition device related to the winning cannot be displayed on the active line. Occurs. The operation of the condition device related to the BB or RB character can be carried over across the game times, but the operation of the condition device related to winning and replaying is terminated when the result of one game is obtained and carried over. There is no.

  The random number counter for internal lottery is defined on the RAM of the main controller MC to be described later. For example, the value is sequentially incremented within a range of 0H to 0FFFFH in hexadecimal notation (0 to 65535 in decimal notation) every 10 ns. A 2-byte counter is used. The determination value assigned to each condition device is stored in the internal lottery determination value table secured in the ROM data area of the main controller MC. In this example, only one for setting 1 is shown, but the actual machine stores six types of determination values for setting 2, for setting 3, for setting 4, for setting 5, and for setting 6.

  “Setting” means a combination of probabilities that the respective condition devices are activated according to the prescribed number of winnings, re-games, and the action of the accessory or the consecutively-operating instrument (the gaming machine rule Article 6 Appendix) Second (3) f). Generally, the probability becomes higher as the setting 1 is the lowest probability, and the settings 2, 3, 4, and 5 are increased, and the setting 6 is the highest probability. This setting is determined outside business hours by a store manager-class game hall staff by operating a key switch or the like provided on the main controller MC, and the player cannot know or change the setting.

In the internal lottery determination value table, the following condition devices 1) to 20] and determination values corresponding to the respective condition devices are defined.
1] Big bonus: The combination of condition devices is “BB” alone.
2] Regular bonus: The combination of condition devices is “RB” alone.

3] Normal replay: The combination of condition devices is “RP1” alone.
The determination is made based on the initial gaming state RT0, the second replay time RT2, and the third replay time, and not the first replay time RT1. The determination value of the initial gaming state RT0 8978 is 8978/65536 = about 1 / 7.3 in terms of probability. 49986 which is the determination value of the second replay time RT2 is 49986/65536 = 1 / 1.31 in terms of probability. In the first replay time RT1, instead of the normal replay, the following pressing order replay 1 and pressing order replay 2 are determined.

4] Push order replay 1;
The push order replay 1 relates to one of special replays (special replays) in which the combination of symbols displayed is different depending on the operation order of the stop buttons 6L, 6C, 6R. The combination of condition devices is a triple overlap of “RP1 + RP2 + RP3”. Of the six operation sequences in total, the correct answer is pushed by pressing the right stop button 6R first, the second middle stop button 6C second, and the left stop button 6L third. "Left" is a so-called reverse pressing, and when the correct answer is given in the pressing order, "blank 1 or blank" which is d opportunity 2 to shift to the second replay time RT2 with a combination of symbols related to the replay role 3 (RP3) 2 or red seven or black bar "-" blank 2 "-" bell 1 or bell 2 "are displayed. Pressing order other than reverse pressing “Right, Left, Middle”, “Left, Middle, Right”, “Left, Right, Middle”, “Middle, Left, Right”, “Middle, Right, Left” It becomes a mistake, and “bell 1 or bell 2” — “replay 1 or replay 2” — “bell 1 or bell 2”, which is a combination of symbols related to the replay role 2 (RP2), is displayed.

5] Push order replay 2;
The push order replay 2 also relates to one of special replays (special replays) in which the combination of symbols displayed differs depending on the operation order of the stop buttons 6L, 6C, 6R. The combination of condition devices is “RP2 + RP3” double overlap. Of the six operation sequences in total, the correct answer is pressed by pressing the right stop button 6R first, the left stop button 6L second, the middle stop button 6C third, and "right, left, In the case of the so-called reverse pinching push of “medium”, when the answer is correct in the order of pushing, “blank 1 or“ blank 1 ”which is the d opportunity 2 to shift to the second replay time RT2 with a combination of symbols related to the replay role 3 (RP3) "Blank 2 or red seven or black bar"-"Blank 2"-"Bell 1 or Bell 2" are displayed. Other than reverse pinch push, press all in the case of “right, middle, left”, “left, middle, right”, “left, right, middle”, “middle, left, right”, “middle, right, left” An order error occurs, and “Bell 1 or Bell 2” — “Replay 1 or Replay 2” — “Bell 1 or Bell 2”, which is a combination of symbols related to the replay role 2 (RP2), is displayed. The push order replay 1 and the push order replay 2 are determined by the first replay time RT1, and the sum of the respective determination values 4489 is 8978/65536 = about 1 / 7.3 in terms of probability.

6] Pushing bell 1;
The push order bell 1 displays a combination of predetermined symbols to be awarded when the operation order of the stop buttons 6L, 6C, 6R is in a predetermined correct answer order, and a miss that does not become a prize when the push order is missed. Is related to one of the operation order limiting roles. The combination of the condition devices is a triple overlap of “FR1 + FR3 + FR6”, “FR1 + FR4 + FR5”, “FR1 + FR7 + FR10”, and “FR1 + FR8 + FR9” having mutually independent determination values. In the correct order, the left stop button 6L needs to be pressed first, and the second and subsequent orders are left first stop (1-*-*). If the correct answer is correct, the bell combination 1 (FR1) “Replay 1 or Replay 2” − “Bell 1 or Bell 2” − “Replay 1 or Replay 2”, which is a combination of symbols according to FIG. In any other push order other than the first stop on the left, the push order is missed, and the missed place of the push order bell to be described later is displayed.

7] Push order bell 2;
The push order bell 2 also displays a combination of predetermined symbols that will be awarded when the operation order of the stop buttons 6L, 6C, 6R is a predetermined correct answer order, and a miss that does not result in a prize when the push order is missed. Is related to one of the operation order limiting roles. Combinations of condition devices are triple overlaps of “FR2 + FR3 + FR10”, “FR2 + FR4 + FR9”, “FR2 + FR5 + FR8”, and “FR2 + FR6 + FR7”, which have mutually independent determination values. In the correct answer order, it is necessary to press the middle stop button 6C first, and the second and subsequent orders are middle first stop (* -1- *), and if the answer is correct in the order of the push, the bell combination 2 (FR2 ) “Bell 1 or Bell 2” − “Bell 1 or Bell 2” − “Bell 1 or Bell 2”, which is a combination of symbols according to FIG. In any other push order other than the middle first stop, the push order is missed, and the missed push order bell to be described later is displayed.

8] Push order bell 3;
The push order bell 3 also displays a combination of predetermined symbols that will be awarded when the operation order of the stop buttons 6L, 6C, 6R is a predetermined correct answer order, and a miss that does not result in a prize when the push order is missed. Is related to one of the operation order limiting roles. Combinations of condition devices are triple overlaps of “FR2 + FR3 + FR9”, “FR2 + FR5 + FR7”, “FR2 + FR6 + FR8”, and “FR2 + FR4 + FR10”, which have mutually independent determination values. In the correct order, it is necessary to press the right stop button 6R first, and the second and subsequent right is the right first stop (*-*-1), and if the correct answer is correct, the bell combination 2 (FR2 ) “Bell 1 or Bell 2” − “Bell 1 or Bell 2” − “Bell 1 or Bell 2”, which is a combination of symbols according to FIG. In any other push order other than the first stop on the right, the push order is missed, and a missed portion of the push order bell to be described later is displayed.

9] Single watermelon;
The single watermelon is positioned as a special small role called a so-called rare small role with a relatively low winning probability, and the combination of condition devices is only “FR11 (watermelon role)” alone.
10] Corner check;
Kakucho is also positioned as a special small role (rare small role) with a relatively low probability of winning, and the combination of condition devices is “FR12 (horn cherry role 1) + FR13 (horn cherry role 2)”. It is said.
11] single cho;
The single cho is also positioned as a special small role (rare small role) with a relatively low probability of winning, and the combination of condition devices is only “FR14 (single cherry role)” alone.

FIG. 8 shows a missed eye displayed due to a push order error when any of the condition devices according to push order bells 1 to 3 is operated. The missing points are as follows.
"Replay 1 or Replay 2"-"Replay 1 or Replay 2"-"Bell 1 or Bell 2"
"Replay 1 or Replay 2"-"Bell 1 or Bell 2"-"Bell 1 or Bell 2"
"Replay 1 or Replay 2"-"Bell 1 or Bell 2"-"Red Seven"
"Replay 1 or Replay 2"-"Bell 1 or Bell 2"-"Watermelon"
These missed points are used as d trigger 11, d trigger 12, d trigger 13, d trigger 14, which are combinations of symbols that trigger the transition from the initial gaming state RT0 to the first replay time RT1. It is used as a so-called replay punk symbol (or “lippan symbol” for short) that is demoted from the replay time RT2 to the first replay time RT1.

  FIG. 9 shows a transition diagram of the gaming state managed by the main controller MC. After the reset process when the power is turned on, the game starts from the initial gaming state RT0. In this initial gaming state RT0, when any of the condition devices related to the push order bells 1 to 3 is operated, any missed point d trigger 11, d trigger 12, d trigger 13, d trigger 14 is displayed due to a push order error. Then, the next game time shifts to the first replay time RT1.

  At the first replay time RT1, instead of normal replay (RP1), push order replay 1 (RP1 + RP2 + RP3) and push order replay 2 (RP2 + RP3) are determined, but the total replay probability is about 1 of the normal value. The same as /7.3. From the initial gaming state RT0, the specification is such that the first replay time RT1 can be easily shifted to the first replay time RT1 by dropping the push order bells 1 to 3, so that the first replay time RT1 spends the most gaming time. It becomes a normal gaming state. Further, according to the viewpoint, the first replay time RT1 is also a so-called Hamari game state in which a relatively low payout rate continues for a long time.

  In the first replay time RT1, when the condition device relating to the push order replay 1 or 2 is operated, the combination of symbols relating to the replay role 3 (RP3) by the correct push order is “blank 1 or blank 2 or red seven or black bar. When "-" Blank 2 "-" Bell 1 or Bell 2 "is displayed, the next game time becomes a re-game and shifts from the next game time to the second replay time RT2. However, it is generally difficult to display the combination of symbols related to the replay combination 3 (RP3) unless the assist display means A1 described later, which informs the player of the correct push order, does not operate. In operation, since there is provided a penalty means PE described later that imposes a predetermined disadvantage when the first button other than the left stop button 6L is pressed first, the combination of symbols related to the replay role 3 (RP3) is effectively displayed. Is very difficult, and even if the condition device related to push order replay 1 or 2 is activated, the combination of symbols related to replay role 2 (RP2) “Bell 1 or Bell 2”-“Replay 1 or Replay 2” -"Bell 1 or Bell 2" is displayed and the next game round becomes a replay but stops at the first replay time RT1.

  At the second replay time RT2, the replay probability is 1 / 1.31 which is significantly higher than about 1 / 7.3 of the normal value, and the replay condition device frequently operates. Further, in fact, in most cases, the combination of symbols related to the replay combination 3 (RP3) can be displayed in the first replay time RT1 by pushing correct answers, on the premise that the assist display means A1 is operating. For this reason, when the first replay time RT1 shifts to the second replay time RT2, the assist replay time, that is, an advantageous gaming state of ART is obtained. The second replay time RT2 is not limited to a predetermined finite number of times, but has a specification that can continue indefinitely. However, when the operation of the assist display means A1 is finished and the navigation for notifying the correct push order of the push order bells 1 to 3 stops, the missed push order bell is displayed due to an incorrect push order and the second replay time is displayed. RT2 is demoted from the next game to the first replay time RT1 in accordance with the end condition.

  In any game state of the initial game state RT0, the first replay time RT1, and the second replay time RT2, the condition device related to the BB or RB character is activated and “red seven” or “black” is played in the game. If the “Bar” triplet can be established, the game state is changed from the next game round to the game state of the accessory game, and the “Red Seven” or “Black Bar” triple is established in the game. If not, the game proceeds from the next game round to the third replay time during the bonus internal winning. From the third replay time during the bonus internal winning, the game state is shifted to the game state of the bonus game. After the end of the bonus game related to BB, the game is returned to the initial game state RT0. However, after the bonus game related to RB is ended, the game state before the transition to the original game state or the third replay time is set. ing.

It is possible to blink a specific reel back lamp located behind each symbol on the line, or to light all reel back lamps in cooperation according to various lighting patterns.

In the main program stored in the ROM of the main controller MC, the following means are constructed by software.
[1] First freeze generating means X1
The first freeze generating means X1 generates a first freeze that temporarily suspends the progress of the game for a predetermined first freeze period, for example, 5 seconds, when a predetermined game condition is satisfied. The first freeze period of 5 seconds is sufficient for the player to perform a selection operation in the irregular drive mode selection means Y described later.

  In the first freeze, after all reels 1L, 1C, and 1R in the current game won in the freeze lottery stop, if there is a win in the current game, medals are paid out, that is, the normal game in the current game It is supposed to be generated after processing. When the first freeze is released, the normal operation after the game medal insertion by the game start operation of the next game, that is, the operation of the max bet button 3 can be performed. Since the first freeze is released immediately before the next game can start, the first freeze is inserted at the end of the current game or just before the end of the current game.

  The predetermined game condition for generating the first freeze is a part of the condition device that determines whether or not the operation can be performed by internal lottery, and the condition device that ends the operation when the result of the game is obtained once. Specific condition devices selected in advance, for example, “single watermelon”, “square check”, “single check” which are special small roles, “push order replay 1” and “push order replay 2” which are special replays. Any of them (hereinafter collectively referred to as a specific role) is assumed to have won a freeze lottery executed in the current game when continuously operated in the current game and a past game dating back from the current game. As will be described later, the winning probability in the freeze lottery is increased as the number of continuous operations of the condition device related to the specific combination is increased.

[2] Anomalous drive mode selection means Y
This irregular drive mode selection means Y pushes a plurality of predetermined irregular drive modes, for example, the max bet button 3, for driving the reels 1L, 1C, 1R in an irregular mode different from normal during the occurrence of the first freeze. When the BET is turned on, the reels 1L, 1C, and 1R are rotated in the opposite direction to the normal direction to stop at the original position, and the reels 1L, 1C, and 1R are moved to the left, middle, A specific irregular drive mode is selected based on a selection operation by the player from any one of “reel time difference normal rotation” in which the time difference is started in the right order, and each is rotated once to stop at the original position. During the first freeze, “reel reverse rotation” is selected by the selection operation of the left stop button 6L, and “reel time difference forward rotation” is selected by the selection operation of the right stop button 6R.

  A plurality of irregular drive modes that can be selected by the irregular drive mode selection means Y, that is, “reel reverse rotation” and “reel time difference normal rotation” can be associated with start operations by different players and start irregular drive. The specification is such that the irregular drive cannot be started by a non-compliant start operation. In other words, the “reel reverse rotation” can start its irregular drive only by betting on the max bet button 3 and can not start the irregular drive by hitting the start lever 5. The “reel time difference forward rotation” can start its irregular drive only by turning on the start lever 5 and can not start the irregular drive by betting on the Max Bet button 3.

  Note that the irregular drive modes to be selected include a bound start that is started after the reels 1L, 1C, and 1R are vibrated in small increments in the forward and reverse directions, a low speed start that is started at a speed slower than the normal speed, and a predetermined speed. It is also possible to add a step start or the like that starts by engraving steps at an angle, and after each start, make one rotation and stop at the original position.

[3] Second freeze generating means X2
This second freeze generating means X2 has a predetermined release condition in the following irregular drive execution means Z triggered by the game start operation of the next game that follows the release of the temporary interruption due to the first freeze. Until then, the second freeze that interrupts the progress of the game is generated.

[4] Anomalous drive execution means Z
The irregular drive execution means Z is configured such that each reel 1L has a specific irregular drive mode selected by the irregular drive mode selection unit Y in accordance with a predetermined start condition that is determined by a start operation by the player during the occurrence of the second freeze. , 1C, 1R are irregularly driven, and the second freeze is released by the provision of a predetermined release condition, and the game is advanced.

  The starting condition in the irregular driving execution means Z is that the winning operation is executed by an irregular driving lottery that is executed with the starting operation by the player and re-executed with the starting operation by the player after the irregular driving at the time of winning. The release condition in the irregular drive execution means Z is that there is no winning in the irregular drive lottery. The starting condition in the irregular drive execution means Z is such that the probability that the condition is satisfied increases as the number of continuous operations of the condition device related to the specific role increases. That is, the winning probability in the irregular drive lottery will be described later. In addition, the higher the number of continuous operations of the condition device related to the specific combination, the higher the value.

  In addition, the start condition in the irregular drive execution means Z is that when the condition device related to the specific combination is activated in the internal lottery executed based on the game start operation that triggers the second freeze, the game immediately before the second freeze ends The specification is such that the probability of satisfying the condition is increased based on the number of continuous operations after updating, which is updated by adding 1 to the number of continuous operations of the condition device related to the specific combination at the time of the first freeze occurrence.

[5] Anomalous drive avoidance means YN
The irregular drive avoiding means YN accepts a selection operation for avoiding the irregular drive without selecting an irregular drive aspect that can be selected by the irregular drive aspect selecting means Y during the occurrence of the first freeze. Here, the “reel reverse rotation” and “reel time difference forward rotation” are avoided by the selection operation of the middle stop button 6C, and a “shortcut” effect for executing an average value lottery described later is performed.

  If none of the stop buttons 6L, 6C, 6R is operated for 5 seconds after the occurrence of the first freeze, any one of “reel reverse rotation”, “reel time difference forward rotation”, and “shortcut” is set to about 1 / It is assumed that automatic selection is performed at a distribution ratio of 3.

[6] Replay probability changing means RV
The re-gaming probability changing means RV changes the gaming state according to the gaming state transition diagram shown in FIG. 9, and includes an initial gaming state RT0, a first replay time RT1, a second replay time RT2, Change each replay specification with 3 replay times.

In the production program stored in the ROM of the peripheral control device SC, the following means are constructed by software.
[7] Assist display means A1
This assist display means A1 is triggered by the occurrence of the first freeze and / or the second freeze, and here, the occurrence of the second freeze that always occurs after the occurrence of the first freeze, which is premised on the win in the freeze lottery. In addition, under the predetermined operation specification, here, for the predetermined minimum number of games, for example, 40 times to start counting down from the second replay time RT2, the conditions relating to the operation determined by the internal lottery received from the main controller MC The operation information of the stop buttons 6L, 6C, 6R corresponding to the device is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 70 constituting the effect display device 7, and the forward push lamp W4, the intermediate push lamp W5 constituting the effect display device 7, and the reverse push The lamp W6 is appropriately turned on.

[8] Assist operation specification changing means A2
The assist operation specification changing means A2 can be acquired by execution of the irregular drive from the occurrence of the second freeze to the cancellation according to the execution result of the irregular drive from the occurrence of the second freeze to the cancellation. The player is advantageously changed in the operation specifications of the assist display means A1 in accordance with a predetermined point. The point becomes higher as the number of executions of the irregular drive from the occurrence of the second freeze to the release is increased, and the operation specification of the assist display means A1 becomes more advantageous as the point is higher.

  Even when the assist operation specification changing means A2 accepts a selection operation for avoiding the irregular drive by the irregular drive avoiding means YN, the operation specification of the assist display means A1 is advantageous to the player according to the predetermined change specifications as will be described later. It has a specification to be changed.

[9] Selection operation information display means B1
This selection operation information display means B1 displays on the liquid crystal display device 70 constituting the effect display device 7 the selection operation information that prompts the player to make a selection operation using the irregular drive mode selection means Y. That is, if “reel reverse rotation” corresponding to the max bet button 3 is selected, the left stop button 6L should be pressed, and if “reel time difference normal rotation” corresponding to the start lever 5 is selected, the right stop button 6R should be pressed, If “shoot cut” that avoids irregular driving is selected, the liquid crystal display device 70 displays that the middle stop button 6C should be pressed.

[10] Start operation information display means B2
This starting operation information display means B2 displays on the liquid crystal display device 70 constituting the effect display device 7 the starting operation information that prompts the player to perform the starting operation in the irregular drive execution means Z. That is, the liquid crystal display device 70 displays that the max bet button 3 should be operated for “reel reverse rotation” and that the start lever 5 should be operated for “reel time difference forward rotation”. In the case of “shoot cut”, as will be described later, the button selection is further prompted to display on the liquid crystal display device 70 that the stock or the addition should be selected.

[11] Assist operation specification information display means B3
The assist operation specification information display means B3 displays information on the operation specifications of the assist display means A1 after the change in the assist operation specification change means A2 on the liquid crystal display device 70 constituting the effect display device 7.

[12] Penalty means PE
When the assist display means A1 is not in operation, the penalty means PE is a reverse push (so-called reverse push “right, middle, left” and reverse pinch push “right, left” in the first replay time RT1. If it is found from the received information from the main control device MC that the stop buttons 6L, 6C, 6R have been operated according to (including “medium”), a predetermined penalty that is disadvantageous to the player is imposed.

  For example, when the button is pressed in the reverse direction, a penalty that does not operate the assist display unit A1 is imposed even if a second freeze that triggers the operation of the assist display unit A1 occurs for a certain period of time, for example, 10 games. Alternatively, when the reverse display is performed, the assist display unit A1 is temporarily activated due to the occurrence of the second freeze that triggers the operation of the assist display unit A1, but the push order of the push order bells 1 to 3 and / or the push order replays 1 and 2 is pushed. Penalties that do not give out navigation for a certain period, for example, 20 games, are imposed.

  FIG. 11 shows the flow of one game process performed by the main CPU of the main controller MC. The main CPU determines whether or not there is a game start operation by operating the start lever 5 with the game medium inserted (step S1). The insertion of game media includes direct insertion of medals from the medal insertion slot 2, operation of the Max bet button 3, and automatic insertion by re-playing in the previous game. In the case where there is a game start operation, in the present embodiment, since it is a three-sheet dedicated machine, it is determined whether or not the number of sheets to be multiplied is a prescribed number (step S2). As long as these two conditions are not satisfied, steps S1 and S2 are looped to enter a standby state.

  When the specified number is satisfied in step S2, strictly speaking, the specified number is satisfied and the game time interval managed by the main CPU from the start of the previous game has passed a predetermined minimum game time interval of 4.1 seconds. If 4.1 seconds have not elapsed, the main CPU waits for 4.1 seconds to elapse and executes the internal lottery process (step S3). 4.1 seconds is the same as the re-game should be provided, “the ability to play a game using a number of game medals or game balls exceeding the number corresponding to a game fee of approximately 400 yen per minute. It comes from the first request for a revolving type gaming machine in the table of Article 7 of the “Rules for Enforcement of Laws on Customs Business and Optimization of Business” that prohibits “having”.

  In the internal lottery process, one internal lottery random number is extracted from the internal lottery random number counter, and an internal lottery determination value table (stored in the ROM of the main controller MC) according to the difference in the gaming state managed on the same RAM ( Refer to FIG. 7) during RT0, RT1, RT2, and sequentially subtract the judgment value assigned to each condition device from the acquired random value for internal lottery, and the condition device at the time when it becomes a negative value Determining the action or winning. In case of any single winning, determine the operation of one applicable condition device (determine one internal winning combination), and in the case of any double winning, operate multiple condition devices related to double winning Determine (determine a plurality of internal winning combinations), and if there is no operation of any of the condition devices, determine the loss, and set the internal winning flag defined on the RAM of the main controller MC based on the results of these internal lotteries rewrite.

  In the internal lottery process, the condition device related to the specific combination is activated, that is, the special small combination “single watermelon” (FR11), “square check” (FR12 + FR13), “single check” (FR14), special replay It is determined whether or not “Push Order Replay 1” (RP1 + RP2 + RP3) or “Push Order Replay 2” (RP2 + RP3) has been won (step 4). The number of consecutive wins of the condition device related to the specific combination that is a condition for the condition and defined in the RAM of the main controller MC is incremented by 1 and updated (step S5).

  Next, it is determined whether or not “1” is set in the freeze flag F1 managed on the RAM of the main controller MC that the first freeze occurred at the end of the previous game (step S6). If there is no first freeze in the previous game, and if the consecutive winning number N is “2” or more and the condition device related to the specific role is continuously operated (step S7), the consecutive winning number N is A corresponding freeze lottery process is executed (step S8).

  In the freeze lottery, one number is obtained from a random counter for 1-byte freeze lottery that is updated at high speed within the range of 0 to 255 defined on the RAM of the main controller MC, and the main lottery is selected according to the number N of consecutive winnings. This is done by comparing the winning range with a predetermined freeze lottery determination table on the ROM of the control device MC. If the acquired number is within the winning range, the first freeze at the end of the current game and the second freeze at the start of the next game will be won, and if it is not within the winning range, the first and second freeze will not occur It becomes.

  The winning probability in the freeze lottery increases as the number of continuous operations of the condition device related to the specific role increases, that is, as the consecutive winning number N increases, and when the previous game and the current game are two consecutive times (N = 2), 2/256 with a winning range of 2 (out-of-range 254), the previous time and the previous and current three consecutive times (N = 3), 16/256 with a winning range of 16 (out-of-range 240), before and after Last time, last time, last time, and this time four consecutive times (N = 4), the winning range is 32 (out of range 224) 32/256, last time, last time, last time, last time, last time and this time 5 In the case of continuous (N = 5) or more, the winning range is set to 256 (out-of-range range 0) 256/256, that is, 100% of the winning range.

  When winning in the freeze lottery (step S9), “1” is set to the freeze flag F1 (step S10). In the present embodiment, the reels 1L, 1L, and the like are continuously displayed in order to indicate that the player has won the freeze lottery and that the special small role can be expected in this game. In the first stage of rotating 1C, 1R regularly, after each reel 1L, 1C, 1R is slightly rotated in the forward direction, it is slightly returned in the reverse direction, and a reel bound start that rotates again in the forward direction is inserted. I expect players to expect something good to happen.

  Subsequent to the reel bound start, or after determination that the number N of consecutive winnings is not “2” or more in step S7 and there is no continuous operation of the condition device related to the specific role, or determination that the winning is not won in the freeze lottery in step S9 After that, the process proceeds to the normal game process (step S11).

  In the normal game process, the main CPU accelerates the reels 1L, 1C, 1R in the forward rotation direction. In addition, the game state managed on the RAM of the main controller MC (which is RT0, RT1, RT2, or an accessory game), the internal winning flag rewritten and updated by the internal lottery process, the freeze flag F1, etc. are specified. A game start command is transmitted to the sub CPU side, and on the peripheral control device SC side, a moving image effect on the liquid crystal display device 70 linked with the operation of the reels 1L, 1C, 1R, an audio effect from the speakers 91 to 94, and the like can be performed. I have to. On the condition that each reel 1L, 1C, 1R has reached a constant speed of about 80 revolutions per minute, the stoppable lamps 61, 62, 63 built in each stop button 6L, 6C, 6R are turned on, and the player The reel stop control based on the operation is executed.

  In the reel stop control, the main CPU determines whether the game state is different from a game other than an accessory game or an accessory game, the internal winning flag, and what stop button 6L, 6C, 6R is pressed. Accordingly, a stop data table in which the symbol numbers and the number of sliding symbols of each reel 1L, 1C, 1R are set in advance is read from the ROM, and the sliding symbols set in the stop data table are set based on the operation timing of the stop buttons 6L to 6R. In accordance with the number of frames (the number of frames set to 4 frames or less), only the symbol combinations corresponding to the winning condition device are allowed to be displayed on the active line, while the symbol combinations corresponding to the non-winning condition device Are stopped on the corresponding reels 1L to 1R so that they are not displayed on the active line. Each time one stop button 6L, 6C, 6R is pressed, a reel stop command specifying the difference between left, middle and right is transmitted to the sub CPU side.

  Note that the reel stop control is replaced with the table control using the stop data table, or in combination with the table control, one frame is sequentially started from the pattern that immediately stops the number of sliding frames at the time of operation of the stop buttons 6L to 6R. Control that stops the symbol that becomes the maximum slip or the minimum slip by sequentially judging whether it can be stopped from the result of the internal lottery on the effective line when sliding, 2 frames sliding, 3 frames sliding, 4 frames sliding It may be used.

  In the normal game process, when all the reels 1L, 1C, 1R are stopped, the main CPU internally stores in the symbol counter etc. on the RAM of the main controller MC what symbols are stopped on the display window 80. Based on this internal memory, the combination of symbols on the active line is determined (winning, replaying, determining the success or failure of the prize), and the symbol value that gives the game value according to the result of the internal lottery is given. A combination determination process is performed. Thus, in the case of winning a prize, the game medal of the predetermined payout amount is paid out. In the case of re-playing, the next game is prepared for automatic insertion processing without inserting a new game medal. Prepare for the subsequent games to enter into an easy-to-win game, and in the case of d-trigger symbols (d-trigger 11-14), prepare to shift the next game state to the first replay time RT1. In the case of the d opportunity symbol (d opportunity 2) at the time of the first replay time RT1, preparation is made to shift the gaming state from the next time on to the second replay time RT2. The result of the symbol combination determination process is transmitted to the sub CPU side.

  After the symbol combination determination process, the main CPU performs an accessory game end determination process for determining an end condition such as an excess of the maximum number of acquired games or a maximum number of continued games when the game state is an accessory game. In other words, the bonus game based on BB is ended as long as more than 300 game medals are paid out, and the bonus game based on RB is ended as long as more than 60 game medals are paid out. . Strictly speaking, the RB-based accessory game is ended when the result of the game not exceeding 12 times is obtained or when the number of winnings not exceeding 8 times is obtained.

  Subsequently, the main CPU performs predetermined clearing and updating processing of the RAM of the main control device MC, and when the corresponding condition device is activated based on the winning or replaying in the internal lottery, the main CPU relates to the winning or replaying. Regardless of whether or not the combination of symbols is displayed on the active line, that is, whether or not it has been missed, the game result is obtained once, so that the condition device for the winning or replaying is activated. And clear the corresponding winning flag.

  Unlike replays or winnings, when a corresponding BB or RB condition device is activated based on the winning of an accessory, that is, BB or RB, in the internal lottery, the combination of symbols related to the operation of the accessory is displayed on the active line In the case of entering into an accessory game after the next time (when a type 1 special feature is activated or a feature continuous action device related to a type 1 special feature is activated), the condition device for that feature Is finished, the internal winning flag of the corresponding BB or RB is cleared, and the gaming state (gaming state flag) stored and managed on the RAM of the main control device MC is updated to the accessory game. If the combination of symbols related to the operation of the accessory is not displayed on the active line, the operation of the condition device for that accessory is not terminated, the internal winning flag of the corresponding BB or RB is carried over from the next time, and the main control RAM of device MC In a game state for storing and managing (game status flag) is updated or maintained at the third replay time RT3 in the bonus internal winning.

  Thus, when the normal game process is completed (step S12) and “1” is not set in the freeze flag F1, one game process is ended here, but “1” is set in the freeze flag F1. In the case (step S13), one game process is completed through a first freeze process (step S14) to be described later for generating the first freeze. If it is determined in step S6 that the first freeze has occurred at the end of the previous game by setting “1” in the freeze flag F1, a second freeze process (step S15) described later is performed. Then, the process returns from the circle 1 to step S8 or returns from the circle 2 to step S11.

  The actual game flow on the gaming machine up to the occurrence of the first freeze, including the display on the liquid crystal display device 70, is shown below.

As shown in FIG. 12, in the previous game, one of the condition devices related to the specific combination, for example, “single watermelon” is activated (in FIG. 12, the winning state is shown, but the presence or absence of winning is not related) Assuming that the current game starts with “1” set to the number of consecutive winnings N, in this game, as shown in the order of the numbers in the circles in the figure,
1) Three bets can be set by operating Max Bet button 3,
2) Command the start of the reels 1L, 1C, 1R by operating the start lever 5,
3) If the internal lottery of this game reveals the continuous operation of the condition device related to the specific role, such as one of the condition devices related to the specific role in the internal lottery, for example, the condition device of “Kakucho” is activated, After increasing the number of consecutive wins N in the machine by 1 to “2”,
4) Freeze lottery is performed inside the machine.

If you win in the freeze lottery,
5) Each reel 1L, 1C, 1R is accelerated once through 1) rotating slightly in the forward direction, 2) returning slightly in the reverse direction, and 3) rebounding in the forward direction.
6) By controlling from the peripheral control device SC, it is beneficial to display a message image such as “A thrilling chance ?? Aim for a small role!” On the liquid crystal display device 70, and aim at the player for a small role in this game. Sense that it is.

As shown in the order of the circled numbers in FIG.
1) In this game, which became a thrilling event after the stoppable lamps 61, 62, 63 were lit, the left reel (the left stop button 6L) was pushed by the so-called DDT hitting method, etc., which can avoid missing a small role as much as possible Is particularly useful, and it is aimed at the timing when a relatively easy-to-see “black bar” that can cover almost all winning combinations appears in the display window.
2) Since the “black bar” can be stopped on the left reel 1L, the middle reel 1C (middle stop button 6C) is hit without any need to press.
3) Free hit the right reel (right stop button 6R).
4) With the last third reel stop, all reels 1L, 1C, 1R are stopped, and "Black Bar"-"Blank 2"-"Replay 2", which is one of the combinations of symbols of "Square Che" Is displayed on the active line, and 4 game medals are paid out.

FIG. 13 shows a state in which “Square Choi” has won a prize, but after all reels 1L, 1C, and 1R are stopped regardless of whether or not there is a prize (after a medal is paid out if there is a prize),
5) The first freeze occurs for 5 seconds. During the first freeze, the reels 1L, 1C, 1R do not move even if the max bet button 3 is pressed and the start lever 5 is hit, and even if a medal is inserted from the medal insertion slot 2, Return.

6) When the first freeze occurs, the selection operation information display means B1 on the peripheral control device SC side uses the selection operation information on the liquid crystal display device 70 as selection operation information that prompts the player to perform a selection operation. If you select “Stock lottery with BET on!” Associated with “Reel reverse rotation” that is started by the operation of the above, you should press the left stop button 6L, “Shortcut average value” associated with “Shortcut” to avoid irregular drive If you select "Acquire!", You should press the middle stop button 6C, and if you select "Lever-on top lottery!" Associated with "Reel time difference normal rotation" that is started by operating the start lever 5, you should press the right stop button 6R Is displayed by a message image.

  Note that, when the first freeze is generated and the medals are paid out by winning, the medals may be paid out temporarily and the medals may be paid out simultaneously with the release of the first freeze. In addition, for the purpose of emphasizing that the first freeze that starts after all the reels 1L, 1C, and 1R are stopped is attached to the game this time, as in the case of a pachinko game machine, the temporary freeze is accompanied by fluctuations that swing up and down. It may start in a stopped state.

  As shown in FIG. 14, in the first freeze processing subroutine in step S14 of FIG. 11, the main CPU initializes the selected game flag GMF managed on the RAM of the main controller MC to “0” for 5 seconds. The first freeze is started for the predetermined first freeze period (step S16).

  When the left stop button 6L is pressed during the first freeze (step S17), “1” associated with “reel reverse rotation” is set in the selection game flag GMF (step S18), and the middle stop button 6C When pressed (step S19), “2” associated with “shortcut” is set in the selected game flag GMF (step S20), and when the right stop button 6R is pressed (step S21), “reel time difference positive “3” associated with “change” is set in the selected game flag GMF (step S22).

  If the predetermined first freeze period has not yet elapsed (step S23), the selection can be performed again, and “reel reverse rotation” (GMF = 1), “corresponding to the last pressed stop button 6L, 6C, 6R” Shortcut "(GMF = 2) and" Reel time difference normal rotation "(GMF = 3) are valid.

  When the predetermined first freeze period of 5 seconds elapses (step S23), the selection game flag GMF remains “0” as the initial setting without any operation of the stop buttons 6L, 6C, 6R for the 5 seconds. In this case (step S24), any one of “reel reverse rotation”, “shortcut”, and “reel time difference forward rotation” is automatically selected at a distribution ratio of 1/3 (step S25). After “1”, “2”, or “3” is set in the selected game flag GMF, the first freeze is released to enable the next game start operation (step S26), and the first freeze processing subroutine is executed. Exit.

  As shown in FIG. 15, in the second freeze process according to step S15 of FIG. 11 and the “reel reverse rotation” in which the selected game flag GMF is set to “1” in the first freeze process of the previous game, The main CPU keeps the rewriting information already executed in the current game including the internal lottery process (step S3) in the current game in FIG. The second freezing which is continued until the release condition is released is started (step S27). During the second freeze, the reels 1L, 1C, 1R are not normally rotated until released, and are in a specific irregular drive mode selected by the player at the end of the previous game. In this case, only “reel reverse rotation” is used. It becomes possible.

  When the second freeze is started, a timer for automatically executing the processing after the irregular drive lottery when the max bet button 3 is not operated for a predetermined time, for example, 5 seconds, in the waiting state for the start operation by the max bet button 3. Reset (step S28), determine whether or not the max bet button 3 is operated (step S29), and determine whether or not the max bet button 3 is operated, or if the timer determines that a predetermined time has elapsed (Step S30), an irregular drive lottery is executed (Step S31).

  In this irregular drive lottery, the “reel reverse rotation” can be executed once by winning, and for each execution, the assist display means A1 continues to operate for the minimum number of 40 times during the second replay time RT2. Thus, a stock addition lottery in which a predetermined increment unit, for example, 40 times as one stock, is added as a point is added. One number is obtained from a random byte lottery for random driving lottery that is updated at high speed within a range of 256 of 0 to 255 defined on the RAM of the main controller MC, and the main controller MC according to the number N of consecutive winnings Compare the winning range on the ROM with the anomaly-driven lottery determination table, and if the acquired number is within the winning range, the winning and winning range in the stock addition lottery that performs “reel reverse rotation” once If not, the stock will not be "reel reverse rotated" and the stock will be removed by lottery.

  The winning probability in the irregular drive lottery related to “reel reverse rotation” increases as the number of continuous operations of the condition device related to the specific role increases, that is, as the consecutive winning number N increases, and two consecutive times of the previous game and the current game. At the time (N = 2), the winning range is ½ with 128 (out-of-range 128), and the last time, the last time and this time three consecutive times (N = 3), the winning range is 160 (out-of-range 96) 1 / 1.6, the previous time, the previous time, and the last time and the current time of 4 consecutive times (N = 4), the winning range is 192 (out-of-range range 64) 1 / 1.333 ... In the case of more than 5 consecutive times (N = 5) of the previous time, the previous time, the previous time, the previous time, and the previous time, the winning range is set to about 1 / 1.143 with 224 (outlier range 32).

  When winning in the irregular drive lottery (step S32), the "reel reverse rotation" is performed in which all reels 1L, 1C, 1R are rotated once in the reverse direction and then stopped at the original position (the state where the original symbol combination is displayed). Execute (step S33) and repeat the processing from step S28.

  If the number of times of irregular driving by “reel reverse rotation” is 1 time, 40 times is added to 40 times of the minimum number of games to be 80 times, and if the number of times of execution is 2 times, 80 times is added to 40 times. When the number of executions is 120, the number of executions is 3, and the number of executions is 120 times 40 times, 160 times, etc. Note that a limiter may be provided such that the number of times of irregular driving is up to 5 times.

  When the irregular drive lottery is removed (step S32), the second freeze is canceled with the release as a cancellation condition (step S34), and the freeze flag F1 is once returned to 0 (step S35). After this, the operation of the condition device relating to the specific role in the game this time, that is, “single watermelon”, “square check”, “single check” which are special small roles, “push order replay 1”, “special replay”, “ It is determined whether or not any one of “Push Order Replay 2” has been won (step S36). If there is no winning of the specific combination, 0 is set to the number N of consecutive winnings (step S37), and FIG. Return from step 2 to step S11, and if there is a winning combination, return from step 1 to step S8.

  When “reel reverse rotation” is selected during the first freeze at the end of the previous game and the second freeze occurs at the start of the current game, the game flow on the actual gaming machine is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 70. Including the following.

As shown in the order of the circled numbers in FIG.
1) After the release of the first freeze at the end of the previous game, the game start operation is performed by pressing the Max Bet button 3 and hitting the start lever 5 in this game. However, the reels 1L, 1C, 1R do not move with any surprise and the second freeze When the second freeze occurs, the start operation information display means B2 on the peripheral control device SC side uses the start operation information display means B2 on the liquid crystal display device 70 as start operation information for prompting the start operation by the player, for example, “ A message image “Reverse rotation of reel with BET!” Is displayed.
2) When the player presses the max bet button 3,
3) In response to this, an irregular drive lottery is executed inside the machine.

4) At the time of winning in the irregular drive lottery, the reels 1L, 1C, 1R rotate once in the reverse direction and return to their original positions.
5) By the display control from the peripheral control device SC side, for example, a message image of “Stock successful!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 70 as congratulatory information that the “reel reverse rotation” has succeeded once.
6) When the “reel reverse rotation” is successful, the message image “Reverse the reel with BET!” Is displayed again on the liquid crystal display device 70, and the irregular driving lottery is executed again by operating the Max bet button 3. When this is won, “reel reverse rotation” is executed again.

As shown in the order of the circled numbers in FIG.
1) After the occurrence of the second freeze or after the above 6) of FIG. 16, a message image “Reverse the reel with BET!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 70.
2) Pressing the Max Bet button 3
3) The reels 1L, 1C, 1R do not rotate in the reverse direction when they are out of the irregular drive lottery.
4) The assist operation specification information display means B3 on the peripheral control device SC side displays, for example, a message image of “total stock; X pieces” as assist operation specification information on the liquid crystal display device 70 along with the message “End”. Is done.

  If the number of times of irregular driving by “reel reverse rotation” cannot be performed even once, the minimum number of games is 40 times, but the total number of stocks is 0, and the number of irregular driving operations by “reel reverse rotation” When the number of executions is one, the total number of stocks is one; when the number of executions is two, the total number of stocks is two; when the number of executions is three, the total number of stocks is three; .

After the above 4) in FIG.
5) The reels 1L, 1C, and 1R are normally rotated based on the game start operation in the current game before the occurrence of the second freeze by the normal game process in step S11 of FIG. If there is a consecutive win for a specific role in this game, a reel bound start is inserted before the normal rotation.

  As shown in FIG. 18, in the subroutine related to “reel time difference forward rotation” in which the selected game flag GMF is set to “3” in the second freeze process in step S15 of FIG. 11 and in the first freeze process of the previous game. The main CPU performs irregular driving while effectively saving the rewrite information already executed in the current game, including the internal lottery process (step S3) and the update of the consecutive winning number N (step S5) in the current game in FIG. The second freeze that continues until the release condition that is lost in the lottery is satisfied is started (step S38). During the second freeze, the reels 1L, 1C, 1R are not normally rotated until released, and are in a specific irregular drive mode selected by the player at the end of the previous game. In this case, only “reel time difference normal rotation” Is possible.

  When the second freeze starts, the timer for automatically executing the processing after the irregular drive lottery is reset when the start lever 5 is not operated for a predetermined time, for example, 5 seconds in the start operation waiting state by the start lever 5. (Step S39), it is determined whether or not the start lever 5 is operated (Step S40). When it is determined that the start lever 5 is operated, or when a predetermined time has been determined by the timer (Step S41). Then, an irregular drive lottery is executed (step S42).

  In this irregular drive lottery, “reel time difference forward rotation” can be executed once by winning, and for each execution, the assist display means A1 continues to operate at the minimum number of 40 times at the second replay time RT2. On the other hand, it becomes a lottery with the number of games added by adding a predetermined increase unit, for example, 40 times as the number of added games. One number is obtained from a random byte lottery for random driving lottery that is updated at high speed within a range of 256 of 0 to 255 defined on the RAM of the main controller MC, and the main controller MC according to the number N of consecutive winnings The winning range is compared with a predetermined anomaly-driven lottery determination table on the ROM, and if the acquired number is within the winning range, the winning in the lottery with the number of games added to execute “reel time difference forward rotation” once, If it is not in the winning range, the number of games that will not cause “reel time difference forward rotation” will be added and the lottery will be lost.

  The winning probability in the irregular drive lottery related to “reel time difference forward rotation” increases as the number of continuous operations of the condition device related to the specific role increases, that is, as the consecutive winning number N increases. When continuous (N = 2), the winning range is set to 128 (out of range 128), and the previous time and the previous and current three consecutive times (N = 3), the winning range is 160 (out of range 96). 1 / 1.6, the previous time, the previous time, and the last time and the current time of 4 consecutive times (N = 4), the winning range was 192 (out-of-range range 64) 1 / 1.333 ... In the case of more than 5 consecutive times (N = 5) of the previous time, the previous time, the previous time, the previous time, and the previous time, the winning range is set to about 1 / 1.143 with 224 (outlier range 32).

  When winning in the irregular drive lottery (step S43), all reels 1L, 1C, 1R are started with a predetermined time difference, for example, a 0.5 second difference in the order of left, middle, and right, and each is rotated one turn in the forward direction to return the original position “Reel time difference forward rotation” is executed to stop (in the state where the original symbol combination is displayed) (step S44), and the processing from step S39 is repeated. The timing of returning to the original position by “reel time difference forward rotation” may be a time difference or the same time.

  If the number of executions of the irregular drive by “reel time difference forward rotation” is 1, the number of games is 40 times added to 40 times to be 80 times, and if the number of times of execution is 2 times, 80 times is added to 40 times. 120 times, and when the number of executions is three times, 120 times is added to 40 times to 160 times, etc. Note that a limiter may be provided such that the number of times of irregular driving is up to 5 times.

  When the irregular drive lottery is removed (step S43), the second freeze is canceled using the removal as a cancellation condition (step S45), and the freeze flag F1 is once returned to 0 (step S46). After this, the operation of the condition device relating to the specific role in the game this time, that is, “single watermelon”, “square check”, “single check” which are special small roles, “push order replay 1”, “special replay”, “ It is determined whether or not any one of “Push Order Replay 2” has been won (step S47). If there is no winning of a specific role, 0 is set to the consecutive winning number N (step S48), and FIG. Return from step 2 to step S11, and if there is a winning combination, return from step 1 to step S8.

  When “reel time difference forward rotation” is selected during the first freeze at the end of the previous game, and the second freeze occurs at the start of the current game, the game flow on the actual gaming machine is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 70. Including the indication, it is shown below.

As shown in the order of the circled numbers in FIG.
1) After the release of the first freeze at the end of the previous game, the game start operation is performed by pressing the Max Bet button 3 and hitting the start lever 5 in this game. However, the reels 1L, 1C, 1R do not move with any surprise and the second freeze When the second freeze occurs, the start operation information display means B2 on the peripheral control device SC side uses the start operation information display means B2 on the liquid crystal display device 70 as start operation information for prompting the start operation by the player, for example, “ The message image “Reel the reel one turn!” Is displayed.
2) When the player hits the start lever 5 and operates it,
3) In response to this, an irregular drive lottery is executed inside the machine.

4) At the time of winning in the irregular drive lottery, the reels 1L, 1C, 1R make one turn in the forward direction with a time difference and return to their original positions.
5) By the display control from the peripheral control device SC side, for example, a message image “Addition X game!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 70 as congratulatory information that the “reel time difference forward rotation” has succeeded once. The extra X game is an extra 40 game in the case of the present embodiment in which the increment unit is 40 times.
6) When the “reel time difference forward rotation” is successful, the message image “Rotate the reel once with the lever!” Is displayed again on the liquid crystal display device 70, and the irregular drive lottery is executed again by operating the start lever 5. When this is won, “reel time difference normal rotation” is executed again.

As shown in the order of the circled numbers in FIG.
1) After the occurrence of the second freeze or after the above 6) of FIG. 19, a message image “Please rotate the reel once with the lever!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 70.
2) Operating the start lever 5
3) When the irregular drive lottery is missed, the reels 1L, 1C, 1R do not rotate forward in time difference.
4) The assist operation specification information display means B3 on the peripheral control device SC side displays a message image of “total addition; X game” as the assist operation specification information on the liquid crystal display device 70 together with the message of “finished”. Is done.

  If the number of irregular drive executions by “reel time difference normal rotation” cannot be performed even once, the minimum number of games is 40, but the total addition is 0 games, and irregular drive execution by “reel time difference normal rotation” When the number of times is 1, the total is added; 40 games, when the number of executions is 2, the total is added; when 80 times, the number of executions is 3, the total is added; 120 games, and so on.

After the above 4) in FIG.
5) The reels 1L, 1C, and 1R are normally rotated based on the game start operation in the current game before the occurrence of the second freeze by the normal game process in step S11 of FIG. If there is a consecutive win for a specific role in this game, a reel bound start is inserted before the normal rotation.

  As shown in FIG. 21, in the second freeze process in step S15 of FIG. 11 and the “shortcut” subroutine in which “2” is set to the selected game flag GMF in the first freeze process of the previous game, the main CPU Is the “stock” described later, while effectively saving the rewrite information already executed in the current game, including the internal lottery process (step S3) and the update of the number N of consecutive winnings (step S5) in the current game in FIG. The second freeze is started until the release condition that the average value lottery related to “addition” is executed is satisfied (step S49). During the second freeze, the reels 1L, 1C, and 1R are not normally rotated until released, and a predetermined increment 40 is added to the minimum number of games 40 that the assist display means A1 continues to operate. It is only possible to select either “stock” to be added as stock or “addition” to be added as the number of games by adding 40 increments by the stop buttons 6L and 6R.

  When the second freeze starts, the processing after the average value lottery is automatically executed when the stop buttons 6L, 6R are not operated for a predetermined time, for example, 5 seconds in the selection waiting state by the stop buttons 6L, 6R. And the second selection game flag GMF2 for distinguishing between “stock” and “addition” is initialized to “0” (step S50).

  When the left stop button 6L is pressed (step S51), “1” associated with “stock” is set in the second selection game flag GMF2 (step S52), and when the right stop button 6R is pressed (step S52) S2), “2” associated with “addition” is set in the second selection game flag GMF2 (step S54).

  If a predetermined time before the timer counts up (step S55), the selection can be repeated, and “stock” (GMF2 = 1) and “add” (GMF2) corresponding to the last pressed stop button 6L, 6R. = 2) becomes effective.

  When the predetermined time period of 5 seconds has elapsed (step S55), if the second selection game flag GMF2 remains at the initial setting of “0” without operation of the left or right stop button 6L, 6R for that 5 seconds (step S55) S56), either “stock” or “addition” is automatically selected at a distribution rate of ½ (step S57). After the first selection game flag GMF2 is set to “1” or “2”, when the second selection game flag GMF2 is “1” (step S58), the average lottery for determining whether or not “stock” can be added Is executed (step S59), and if the second selection game flag GMF2 is “2”, an average lottery for determining whether or not the number of games “addition” can be added is executed (step S60).

  In the case of the average value lottery, the irregular drive lottery random number counter is used, and the number obtained from the random number counter is compared with a one-time lottery determination table having a predetermined average winning range, and step S59 is performed. In case of lottery, one stock for one increment unit at the time of winning will be added and no stock will be given if it is missed. In the case of lottery in step S60, 40 games for one increment unit will be added at the time of winning. Has no extra game count.

  In the one lottery determination table, the average value of the winning range for each consecutive number of times when irregular driving is performed, that is, 128 for 2 consecutive times, 160 for 3 consecutive times, 192 for 4 consecutive times, and 5 consecutive times or more 176, which is an average of 224, is set as the winning range. The winning probability is about 1 / 1.45, which is slightly higher than when 2 or 3 consecutive times, but lower than when 4 or 5 or more consecutive times, and the profit gained will be up to the maximum of one stock. When the number of games is 40 and the irregular driving is avoided, it is not always advantageous.

  After the average value lottery is executed, the lottery result is transmitted to the peripheral control device SC, and the result is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 70 (step S61), and the second freeze is released after the average value lottery is executed ( In step S62), the freeze flag F1 is once reset to 0 (step S63). After this, the operation of the condition device relating to the specific role in the game this time, that is, “single watermelon”, “square check”, “single check” which are special small roles, “push order replay 1”, “special replay”, “ It is determined whether or not any one of “Push Order Replay 2” has been won (step S64). If there is no winning of a specific combination, 0 is set to the number N of consecutive winnings (step S65), FIG. Return from step 2 to step S11, and if there is a winning combination, return from step 1 to step S8.

  If “shortcut” is selected during the first freeze at the end of the previous game, and the second freeze occurs at the start of the current game, the game flow on the actual gaming machine including the display on the liquid crystal display device 70 ,It is shown below.

As shown in the order of the circled numbers in FIG.
1) After the release of the first freeze at the end of the previous game, the game start operation is performed by pressing the Max Bet button 3 and hitting the start lever 5 in this game. However, the reels 1L, 1C, 1R do not move with any surprise and the second freeze In response to the occurrence of the second freeze, for example, a message image “average value acquisition!” And the left stop button 6L are displayed on the liquid crystal display device 70 by display control from the peripheral control device SC side. A message image for prompting selection of “stock” corresponding to “add” corresponding to the right stop button 6R is displayed.
2) When the player presses the left stop button 6L,
3) With this as an opportunity, the above-described average value lottery relating to “stock” that gives a predetermined average value as a percent increase of the assist operation specification is executed inside the machine.

4) After the execution of the average value lottery relating to “stock”, the assist operation specification information display means B3 provided in the peripheral control device SC uses the assist operation specification information on the liquid crystal display device 70 as assist operation specification information at the time of winning, for example, “total stock; A message image of “1” or “total stock; 0” is displayed when it is off.
5) Thereafter, the reels 1L, 1C, and 1R are normally rotated based on the game start operation in the current game before the occurrence of the second freeze by the normal game process in step S11 of FIG. If there is a consecutive win for a specific role in this game, a reel bound start is inserted before the normal rotation.

As shown in the order of the circled numbers in FIG. 23, unlike the case of FIG.
1) After the release of the first freeze at the end of the previous game, the game start operation is performed by pressing the Max Bet button 3 and hitting the start lever 5 in this game. However, the reels 1L, 1C, 1R do not move with any surprise and the second freeze In response to the occurrence of the second freeze, for example, a message image “average value acquisition!” And the left stop button 6L are displayed on the liquid crystal display device 70 by display control from the peripheral control device SC side. In a state where a message image prompting the selection of “addition” corresponding to “stock” corresponding to the right stop button 6R is displayed,
2) When the player presses the right stop button 6R,
3) With this as an opportunity, the above-described average value lottery relating to the “addition” of the number of games that will give a predetermined average value as a percent increase of the assist operation specification is executed inside the machine.

4) After the execution of the average value lottery related to “addition”, the assist operation specification information display means B3 provided in the peripheral control device SC is used as assist operation specification information on the liquid crystal display device 70, for example, “total addition; A message image of “40 games” and “total addition; 0 games” is displayed when the game is off.
5) Thereafter, the reels 1L, 1C, and 1R are normally rotated based on the game start operation in the current game before the occurrence of the second freeze by the normal game process in step S11 of FIG. If there is a consecutive win for a specific role in this game, a reel bound start is inserted before the normal rotation.

  By the way, the operation of the AT for which the assist display means A1 operates is determined exclusively by the peripheral control device SC. In the case of this embodiment, if winning is selected by freeze lottery in the main controller MC, the AT is always operated at least 40 times from the entry of RT2, but this is because the first freeze from the main controller MC and / or the first freeze This is because the peripheral control device SC that has received the information that 2 freeze has occurred is regarded as an AT winning specification. Also in the present embodiment, the operation of the AT that activates the assist display means A1 is still determined by the peripheral control device SC. The peripheral control device that has received the information that the first freeze and / or the second freeze has occurred, instead of the specification that the peripheral control device SC that has received the information that the first freeze and / or the second freeze has occurred is regarded as the AT winning. Of course, it is possible to determine whether the AT is successful or not by a lottery process based on a lottery table in which a predetermined winning range is separated from an outlier range in SC.

  When the AT is activated, that is, when the assist display means A1 is activated, the stop buttons 6L, 6C, 6R based on the internal winning flag information transmitted corresponding to the condition device related to the operation determined by the internal lottery in the main controller MC. Is displayed by the liquid crystal display device 70 and the navigation lamps W3, W4, W5, W6 constituting the effect display device 7. As described above, the number of AT games in which the operation of the assist display means A1 continues is increased by a predetermined increment unit, for example, 40 times with respect to 40 times when the countdown starts from the time of entering RT2, and execution of irregular driving is performed. If the number of times is 0, the number of AT games remains 40 times, but if the number of times of irregular driving is 1, the number of times of AT gaming is 80 times, if the number of times of irregular driving is 2, the number of times of AT game is 120 times, When the number of times of irregular driving is 3, the number of AT games is 160 times.

  In addition, as described above, in the case of “reel reverse rotation”, the increment of the number of stocks to be added to the basic unit is increased by 40 increments as one stock, and in the case of “reel time difference normal rotation”, the increment unit of 40 is increased. The number of additional games to be added to the basic unit is increased. If the number of times of irregular driving is the same, “reel reverse rotation” and “reel time difference normal rotation” have substantially the same profit. It should be noted that instead of increasing the number of times that the assist display means A1 continues to operate, or in combination therewith, it is also possible to increase the AT win probability when performing AT lottery again at the peripheral control device SC.

  As shown in FIG. 24, when the assist display means A1 is activated, at the first replay time RT1, at the time of winning the push order replay 1, which is one of the special replays, immediately after starting the reels 1L, 1C, 1R, Before the first stop operation is performed, the liquid crystal display device 70 navigates to the front of the background stage currently displayed and navigates to the right first stop that emphasizes that the right stop button 6R should be pressed first. 1 The navigation display image N11 before stopping is displayed, and the attention lamp W3 and the reverse push lamp W6 are turned on. After the first stop, before the second stop operation is performed, the liquid crystal display device 70 emphasizes that the middle stop button 6C should be pressed second on the front of the background stage currently displayed. A second pre-stop navigation display image N12 for navigating the second stop is displayed, and the attention lamp W3 and the intermediate push lamp W5 are lit.

  After the second stop, before the third stop operation is performed, the left emphasized that the left stop button 6L should be pressed third on the liquid crystal display device 70 in front of the background stage currently displayed. The third pre-stop navigation display image N13 for navigating the third stop is displayed, and the attention lamp W3 and the forward push lamp W4 are lit. Since only the left reel 1L remains after the second stop, the display of the navigation display image N13 before the third stop and the lighting display of the attention lamp W3 and the forward push lamp W4 may be omitted.

  Thus, “blank 1 or blank 2 or red seven or black which is a combination of symbols (d trigger 2 that is the second specific symbol) related to the replay combination 3 (RP3) displayed by the correct push order of the push order replay 1 “Bar”-“Blank 2”-“Bell 1 or Bell 2” can be easily displayed on the middle line mL which is the active line, and the next game becomes a re-game and the next game is changed to the second replay time RT2. Can be migrated.

  As shown in FIG. 25, when the assist display means A1 is actuated, at the first replay time RT1, during the winning of the push order replay 2, which is another special replay, immediately after the reels 1L, 1C, 1R are started. Before the first stop operation is performed, the liquid crystal display device 70 is navigated to the right first stop that emphasizes that the right stop button 6R should be pressed first in front of the currently displayed background stage. The first pre-stop navigation display image N21 is displayed, and the attention lamp W3 and the reverse push lamp W6 are lit. After the first stop, before the second stop operation is performed, the left emphasized that the left stop button 6L should be pressed second on the front of the background stage currently displayed on the liquid crystal display device 70. A second pre-stop navigation display image N22 for navigating the second stop is displayed, and the attention lamp W3 and the forward push lamp W4 are lit.

  After the second stop, before the third stop operation is performed, the liquid crystal display device 70 emphasizes that the middle stop button 6C should be pressed third on the front of the background stage currently displayed. The third pre-stop navigation display image N23 for navigating the third stop is displayed, and the attention lamp W3 and the intermediate push lamp W5 are lit. Since only the middle reel 1C remains after the second stop, the display of the navigation display image N23 before the third stop and the lighting display of the attention lamp W3 and the intermediate push lamp W5 may be omitted.

  Accordingly, “blank 1 or blank 2 or red seven or black which is a combination of symbols (d trigger 3 which is the third specific symbol) related to the replay combination 3 (RP3) displayed by the correct push order of the push order replay 2 “Bar”-“Blank 2”-“Bell 1 or Bell 2” can be easily displayed on the middle line mL which is the active line, and the next game becomes a re-game and the next game is changed to the second replay time RT2. Can be migrated.

  As described above, when the assist display unit A1 operates, it is easy to display the d opportunity 2 that is a combination of the second specific symbols at the first replay time RT1 and shift to the second replay time RT2. During the operation of the assist display means A1, the penalty means PE does not operate, and no penalty is imposed even if the assist display means A1 is reversely pressed at the first replay time RT1. In the initial game state RT0, even if the assist display means A1 is activated, the push order navigation of the push order bells 1 to 3 is not performed, and the display of the d triggers 11 to 14 that are missed is induced. Since the winning probability of the push order bells 1 to 3 is relatively high, the transition from the initial gaming state RT0 to the first replay time RT1 is appropriately performed regardless of whether the assist display means A1 is activated. I have to.

  Further, the assist display means A1 can be operated in any of the initial game state RT0, the first replay time RT1, and the second replay time RT2, but the subtraction of the number of continuous games in which the operation of the assist display means A1 continues, That is, the subtraction of the number of games that is at least 40 times starts from the transition of the second replay time RT2, and an advantageous gaming state of at least 40 assist replay times ART starts from the beginning of the transition to the second replay time RT2. It is supposed to be.

  As shown in FIG. 26A, during the second replay time RT2 during the operation of the assist display means A1, that is, the assist replay time ART, when the push order bell 1 is won, the reels 1L, 1C, 1R are started immediately after the start. Until the first stop operation is performed, the liquid crystal display device 70 displays a first left stop image N1 that emphasizes that the left stop button 6L should be pressed first on the front of the currently displayed background stage. At the same time, the attention lamp W3 and the forward push lamp W4 are turned on.

  This suggests to the player that the left stop button 6L should be pressed first, so that “Replay 1 or Replay 2”, which is a combination of symbols displayed in the correct push order of the push order bell 1, is displayed. "Bell 1 or Bell 2"-"Replay 1 or Replay 2" can be easily displayed on the middle line mL which is an active line, and 10 game medals can be obtained.

In normal replay, a combination of predetermined symbols can be displayed in any order and at any timing by pressing the stop buttons 6L, 6C, 6R. In this case, the display is a replay to the player. It plays the role of notifying you just in case.

  As shown in FIG. 27B, during the assist replay time ART, when a single watermelon (FR11) is selected, a liquid crystal display is provided for a predetermined period from the start of the reels 1L, 1C, 1R to the full stop. The device 70 is caused to display a watermelon symbol in front of the background stage currently displayed. The combination of symbols for watermelon related to a single watermelon (FR11) is "Bell 1"-"Watermelon"-"Bell 1", and for the left reel 1L, all combinations where "Watermelon" is located immediately above "Bell 1" In the middle reel 1C, there are two “watermelons” in total, and for the right reel 1R, there are only two combinations in which “watermelon” is located immediately below the “bell 1”. Each reel 1L, 1C , 1R must stop the "watermelon" in the display window 80 within a range of a maximum of 4 frames, and the player should aim at "watermelon" for each reel 1L, 1C, 1R Is suggested.

  As shown in FIG. 27 (C), during the assist replay time ART, when the corner check (FR12 + FR13) or the single check (FR14) is won, it is from the start of the reels 1L, 1C, 1R to the complete stop. For a predetermined period, a cherry symbol is displayed on the front surface of the background stage currently displayed on the liquid crystal display device 70. The combination of the symbols of the corner cherry role 1 (FR12) relating to the angle check is “black bar”-“blank 2”-“replay 1 or replay 2”, and the symbol combination of the angle cherry role 2 (FR13) is “blank 1” "-" Blank 2 "-" Replay 1 or Replay 2 ", and for the left reel 1L," Cherry "is only directly under" Black Bar "or directly above" Blank 1 ", and up to 4 for the left reel 1L. It is necessary to stop “Cherry” in the display window 80 within the range of the frame slip, and for the left reel 1L, use “Cherry” as a guide, and more practically “Black Bar” that is relatively easy to see. The player is suggested to push.

  During the assist replay time ART of FIGS. 26 and 27, the continuation at present of the assist display means A1 that turns on the chance zone lamp W2 and starts the countdown from the transition of the second replay time RT2 at the screen corner of the liquid crystal display device 70. The game number NB is displayed by a decrement display that decreases from 40 as a basic unit or an increase unit, or an increment display that increases from 1 to 40. During the period from several games before the countdown remaining 0 until the final game, for example, in the final game time, the battle effect animation is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 70, and if there is no “stock” or “addition”, the final game time At the end of the game, the defeat screen is displayed to end the operation of the assist display means A1, and when there is “stock” or “addition”, the victory screen is displayed at the end of the last game, and the operation of the assist display means A1 is Further, it is repeated continuously in units of 40 times.

  The second replay time RT2 is not limited to a predetermined finite number of times, but can be continued indefinitely, but the operation of the assist display means A1 ends, and the correct pressing order of the pressing order bells 1 to 3 is notified. When the navigation is interrupted, the push order bells 1 to 3 are missed, and the missed trip is demoted to the first replay time RT1.

  With the above, when AT lottery is performed with the peripheral control device SC, the AT winning probability is set in multiple stages from high accuracy to low accuracy, and if a special small role can be won and awarded, the rank will be raised to the high accuracy side, On the other hand, the combination of the internal lottery result received from the main control device MC and the stop symbol in the peripheral control device SC, such as if the special small role is won and the prize is missed and missed, the rank is lowered to the lower probability side. The AT winning probability may be changed based on the result.
