Description

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

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

  Here, in recent years, as such an effect, from the start switch operation until the rotation reel reaches a predetermined rotation speed and the stop switch can be pressed, an effect by changing the rotation speed of the rotation reel, etc. Various so-called spinning effects have been studied. Specifically, for example, a predetermined symbol (for example, a combination of symbols 7, 7, and 7) is arranged in parallel until the rotating reel starts rotating and the pressing operation of the stop switch becomes possible. Then, it is such that it is in a steady rotation (for example, Patent Document 1).

A time counting means 150, a rotational position determining means 161, a rotating effect data storage means 210, a rotating effect control means 170, and a rearrangement control means 180.

The game played by this slot machine is a player who is more than the normal game when compared with a normal game played in a normal (ordinary) game period, which is called a bonus game and is based on the same number of games. And special games that can give big profits. This special game shifts by displaying a predetermined role symbol on the active line during a normal game, and the number of medals that can be acquired per unit time can be larger than that of a normal game. Is formed. Specifically, the special game includes a BB game (big bonus game) and an RB game (regular bonus game) capable of acquiring up to a predetermined number of medals.
Here, the “combination” is composed of a combination of symbols in principle, and means a predetermined combination of symbols. For example, the stop symbols of the left, middle and right rotating reels 40 are As shown in FIGS. 7, 7, and 7, a shape in which three symbols displayed on a rotating reel are usually arranged is a basic shape. However, the cherry symbols stop on a specific rotating reel, such as the left reel 43, and the remaining two rotating reels 40 may have any symbol even if the three are not arranged, such as cherry. . The composition of the combination is displayed on the front side (not shown) of the gaming machine 10.

The normal game control means 70 performs control related to a normal game in order to perform a normal game, and the special game control means 80 performs control related to a special game in order to perform a special game.

The normal game control means 70 controls normal games.
Hereinafter, the normal game in the gaming machine 10 will be described. It is possible to bet three medals as game media for one game. If you bet 3 medals, all 5 lines will be valid. In addition, it can also be set as the 3 sheet exclusive machine which becomes effective only by 3 sheet insertion. The activated line is hereinafter referred to as an “effective line”. In addition, the medal bet includes a bet by inserting a medal from the medal insertion slot 18 and a bet of credited medal by operating the bet switch 16. In the re-game, the same number of medals as the bet in the previous game are automatically bet. In addition, the game can be started on the condition that a bet of three medals is operated. When the start switch 30 is operated, a winning lottery of winning or losing one of a plurality of winning combinations is performed. All the rotating reels 40 start to rotate. After that, when the rotation of all three rotary reels 40 reaches a predetermined steady rotation speed and the regular rotation starts, all the three stop switches 50 are enabled, and the operation of the stop switch 50 is enabled. When one of the three stop switches 50 is operated, the rotation of the rotary reel 40 corresponding to the stop switch 50 is stopped. When all the three stop switches 50 have been operated, the rotation of all three rotary reels 40 is stopped. At this time, if a combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination in the winning combination lottery is displayed on any active line, the number of medals corresponding to the winning combination can be obtained. The acquired medals are credited, and when the number of credits reaches the upper limit value, the storage / dispensing means 65 is driven, and the amount exceeding the upper limit value is paid out from the payout port 32. In addition, a predetermined profit may be given to the player instead of the medal acquisition or along with the medal acquisition.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  In the present embodiment, lottery by lottery effect lottery means 120 is performed in order to enable the reeling effect by the reeling effect control means 170 in a predetermined case during a normal game. Only when the lottery effect lottery means 120 wins the lottery effect, the reeling effect control means 170 executes the spinning effect. As the lottery probability at that time, variously changed lottery probabilities are used in accordance with the lottery result of the role lottery means 110. Specifically, the lottery probability in the case of winning the BB combination is set to a high probability, and the lottery is set not to be performed when other combinations are won or lost. In addition, it is said that the spinning effect can be generated only at the time of winning the BB role, but it is not particularly limited to this, and it may be generated at the time of other role or loss, and it is not a normal game, It may be possible to generate a spinning effect during another predetermined game such as an advantageous game or when a winning combination is won. It should be noted that a numerical value set separately and independently in advance may be used for the lottery probability regardless of the lottery result of the winning lottery means 110.

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

Further, in the present embodiment, the rotation control means 250 starts the rotation of the rotary reel 40 when a signal to start the rotation effect is input from the rotation effect control means 170 described later. The start of the process for increasing the rotation speed is temporarily suspended. Then, the rotation control means 250 adjusts the rotation speed of the rotary reel 40 to a predetermined steady rotation speed when the signal indicating the end of the rotation effect is input from the rotation effect control means 170. Start processing.
Specifically, when starting the speed adjustment process, the rotation control means 250 performs a speed adjustment process for starting the rotation and increasing the speed for the rotating reel 40 that has stopped rotating, and thereafter Perform constant speed processing. In addition, when starting the speed adjustment process, for the rotating reel 40 that is rotating at a speed slower than the predetermined steady rotation speed, the speed is increased until the rotation speed reaches the predetermined steady rotation speed, and then Then, constant speed processing for maintaining a predetermined steady rotational speed is performed. When the steady rotational speed is set to be lower than the previous rotational speed, the speed until the rotational speed reaches a predetermined steady rotational speed is reduced.

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

Then, the weight control means 190 uses the rotation control means 250 when the time measured by the time measuring means 150 when the start switch 30 relating to the start of the game is operated is 4.1 seconds or less. The start of the process for starting the rotation of all the three rotary reels 40 is temporarily suspended, and after the counted time of 4.1 seconds, the process by the reserved rotation control means 250 is started.
Further, in the present embodiment, when the start switch 30 relating to the start of the game is operated, the progress of the game is delayed by the spinning drum effect control means 170 described later, and the effect using the rotary reel 40 during that time There is a case where a spinning drum effect (rotary reel effect) is executed. In such a case, the weight control means 190 determines whether or not the time measured by the time measuring means is 4.1 seconds or less, triggered by the operation of the start switch 30. When the timed time is 4.1 seconds or less, the weight control unit 190 temporarily holds the start of the process of starting the rotation of all three rotary reels 40 by the rotation control unit 250. And after the time measured for 4.1 seconds has elapsed, the suspended rotation control means 250 can start the process. At this time, the rotation effect control means 170 executes the rotation effect after 4.1 seconds have elapsed. That is, after 4.1 seconds have elapsed, the progress of the game is delayed, and the spinning effect is executed during that time. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the rotation effect is performed by the rotation effect control means 170, if the set time is sure to clear the limit of 4.1 seconds, As described above, the spinning effect is not executed after 4.1 seconds have passed, but the spinning effect is executed even if 4.1 seconds have not passed when the start switch 30 is operated. May be.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the spinning effect is executed, the weight control means 190 is triggered by the fact that the spinning effect is finished and the rotation control means 250 starts the rotation of the rotary reel 40. Then, the timing means starts timing. In other words, the weight control means 190 indicates that the rotation control means 250 has started the rotation of the rotary reel 40 when a signal indicating that the rotation effect is finished is input from the rotation effect control means 170 to the rotation control means 250. In response, the timing means starts timing.
The weight control unit 190 causes the timing unit to start timing when the rotation of the rotary reel 40 is started by the rotation control unit 250, but is not limited thereto. For example, when the spinning effect is executed, the weight control unit 190 may cause the timing unit to start timing from any timing from the start to the end of the spinning effect.

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

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

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

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

Specifically, the stop symbol determination means 140 outputs a signal to each control means. Then, for example, the game control means 27 to which the signal relating to the small combination is inputted controls the stored paying means 65 to pay out a predetermined number of medals. In addition, for example, the game control means 27 to which a signal relating to the re-game player is inputted controls the game again. Further, for example, the special game control means 80 to which a signal related to the bonus combination is input starts a special game. More specifically, for example, the special game control means 80 to which a signal related to the BB combination is input starts the BB game.
(Time measuring means 150)
The time measuring means 150 is for measuring a predetermined time, and is for measuring various times when implementing the present embodiment, and includes a plurality of timer mechanisms. For example, a time limit of 4.1 seconds, which is a time limit for one game, is also measured, and the time required for rotation in a state where predetermined symbols of the rotation effect are controlled by the rotation effect control means 170 (a state in which a predetermined mode is maintained), etc. It is also used to measure time. Further, it is for counting or counting other various times. The method is based on counting up to a predetermined time, but is not limited thereto, and may be based on counting down from a predetermined time.

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

(Cylinder effect data storage means 210)
The rotation effect data storage unit 210 stores the rotation effect data in which the time of the rotation effect by the rotation effect control unit 170 and the execution contents of the rotation effect are predetermined.
Specifically, data such as the rotational speed of each rotating reel in the spinning effect and the time at the rotational speed are stored in advance.
(Cylinder effect control means 170)
The spinning effect control means 170 delays the progress of the game when it is decided to execute the spinning effect as a result of the lottery effect lottery means 120, and in the effect using the rotary reel 40 in the meantime. A certain spinning effect (rotary reel effect) is executed. The “delay of game progress” at this time is generally called “freeze effect” or the like.

Further, in the present embodiment, the rotation effect control means 170 performs the rotation effect by the rotation effect data obtained from the rotation effect data storage means 210 based on the lottery result of the rotation effect lottery means 120. Shaped to perform.
When the position of the specific symbol 61a detected by the rotational position detecting unit 160 is compared between the plurality of rotating reels 40 that are rotating, the spinning effect control unit 170 is a predetermined symbol constituted by the plurality of rotating reels 40. The rotating aspect of the predetermined rotating reel 40 is changed so as to rotate in the same arrangement mode, and then a rotating effect is performed by rotating the plurality of rotating reels 40 maintaining the predetermined arrangement mode at the same rotational speed. It is. In the present embodiment, the rotation speed of the rotary reel 40 is changed as the rotation mode.

Specifically, the turning effect control means 170 executes the turning effect during the times A, B, C, and D in FIGS. 9 and 10. Here, the first, second, and third rotating reels 40 shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 are set in order as the left reel 43, the middle reel 44, and the right reel 45, and the middle reel 44 with reference to the left reel 43. The rotation speed of the right reel 45 is changed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the right reel 45 and the middle reel 44 may be used as a reference.
First, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, by time T1, the rotation speed of the left reel 43 is V3, the rotation speed of the middle reel 44 is V4, and the rotation speed of the right reel 45 is V2. Controls the output of the pulse signal. Then, the rotational speed of each rotary reel 40 is maintained at the set rotational speed.

  Then, the spinning effect control means 170 determines the interval between the specific symbols 61a of the left reel 43 and the right reel 45 (specifically, “Red 7” of the BB role) from the rotational position data from the rotational position determination means 161. The time B until the specific symbol 61a rotates side by side in parallel is calculated from the rotation speed difference (V2-V3) between the left reel 43 and the right reel 45, and is rotated by that time. Then, the rotation effect control means 170 decelerates the rotation speed of the right reel 45 from V2 to V3, and when the time T2 is reached, the symbol “a” as the specific symbol 61a of the left reel 43 and the right reel 45 is displayed. The pulse signal is controlled so as to rotate in a state where the red 7 is arranged side by side. Then, the spinning drum effect control means 170 performs control such that the left reel 43 and the right reel 45 maintain their rotational speed V3 and rotate at the same rotational speed V3 until time T4.

  On the other hand, the rotation effect control means 170 determines the interval between the specific symbols 61a of the left reel 43 and the middle reel 44 (specifically, “Red 7” of the BB role) from the rotational position data from the rotational position determination means 161. The time (B + C) until the specific symbol 61a rotates side by side in parallel is calculated from the rotation speed difference (V3-V4) between the left reel 43 and the middle reel 44, and only that time (B + C) Rotate at this speed difference. Then, the rotation effect control means 170 increases the rotation speed of the middle reel 44 from V4 to V3, and when the time T3 is reached, the symbol “red 7” of the left reel 43 and the middle reel 44 is reached. The pulse signal is controlled so as to be rotated in a state where they are arranged side by side. The spinning drum effect control means 170 controls the left reel 43 and the middle reel 44 to rotate at the same rotation speed V3 until the time T4 while maintaining the rotation speed V3.

As a result, the spinning drum effect control means 170 can perform the spinning drum effect of rotating the symbols “red 7” of the three rotary reels 40 side by side from time T3 to T4.
The rotation effect control means 170 is based on the rotation position data of the rotary reel 40 from the rotation position determination means 161 and data such as the rotation speed and the maintenance time stored in the rotation effect data storage means 210. The time etc. are calculated by The calculation calculation is executed while the calculation result is corrected each time the latest rotation position data is updated from the rotation position determination means 161. In other words, the rotation effect control means 170 controls the rotation reel 40 with time lapse information such as a predetermined time calculated from the rotation position and the rotation speed, and the rotation reel 40 input from the rotation position determination means 161. The rotary reel 40 is controlled by both the rotational position information. Note that the rotation effect control means 170 is not limited to this, and may control the rotary reel 40 mainly with predetermined time lapse information, or may control the rotary reel 40 mainly with rotational position information. Good.

For example, only the current symbol position information is determined, and control is performed so that the predetermined rotation speed continues until the determination result reaches the predetermined symbol position, and the rotation speed is changed when the predetermined symbol position is reached. You may form so that it may be equal.
Further, for example, the spinning effect control means 170 sets the rotation reel 40 to rotate at a predetermined rotation speed for a predetermined time at the start of the rotation effect. Then, when the timer means of the time measuring means 150 is up, the next process (rotation process at the rotation speed V3) is performed. Therefore, a timer by the timer means of the time measuring means 150 is further set, and a predetermined time elapses (time up) in that state (rotational speed V3), and when the time is reached, the process proceeds from there to speed adjustment processing, etc. As such, the control may be performed mainly by determining the passage of time.

Note that, as described above, the rotation effect control means 170 controls the rotation of the rotary reel 40 by the internal calculation means based on the collected various data, but it is not particularly limited to this. Instead, from the first stop position data, a data table in which all the position data and the rotation speed calculated from the position data and the maintenance time thereof are recorded in advance is provided in the rotating effect data storage means 210, The rotating reel 40 may be controlled based on the stop position data and prestored data.
In addition, here, the state in which the symbols “red 7” of the three rotary reels 40 are arranged side by side at the same rotational speed in order to correspond to the upper stage line L1, the middle stage line L2, and the lower stage line L3 is a predetermined arrangement mode. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in order to correspond to the upper right line L4, the pattern “red 7” that is shifted one by one in the upper right direction may be rotated as a predetermined arrangement mode. Further, in order to correspond to the right-down line L5, a pattern “red 7” arranged in a state of being shifted one by one diagonally down to the right may be rotated as a predetermined arrangement mode. In addition, in the case where other polygonal lines are set, the pattern “red 7” is arranged in an arrangement mode that can recall (correspond to) such polygonal lines. Is also good.

In the present embodiment, the turning effect is performed during the so-called freeze effect period, but a freeze control means is provided separately from the turning effect control means 170 to perform the above-described turning effect. You may form so that only the freeze production which does not perform and delays progress of a game may be implemented.
(Relocation control means 180)
The rearrangement control means 180 arranges the positions of the specific symbols 61a of the plurality of rotating reels 40 in a predetermined arrangement after the rotation effect by the rotation effect control means 170 and before the stop operation by the stop switch 50 is possible. The rotation mode of the predetermined rotary reel 40 is changed so that the one out of the mode rotates in a state where it can be displayed on the display window 13. After that, the rearrangement control means 180 rotates the plurality of rotating reels 40 at the same rotational speed in a state where the predetermined arrangement mode is displayed on the display window 13.

Then, the gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment rotates the rotating reel 40 in a state where the predetermined arrangement mode of the specific symbol 61a is broken in each rotating reel 40 being rotated by the rearrangement control means 180. A stop operation by the stop switch 50 is made possible after reaching a predetermined rotational speed.
Here, normally, when the spinning reel 40 does not perform the spinning effect, the rotation reel 40 starts rotating from the rotation stopped state, increases the rotation speed, and then a predetermined time elapses. Thus, the rotation speed becomes constant and stable (speed adjustment process). Such a stable rotation speed is defined as a steady rotation speed, and in this embodiment, the steady rotation speed is set as V1.

  Specifically, the rearrangement control means 180 is configured so that the rotation reels 40 are partially or wholly rotating after the rotation effect by the rotation effect control means 170 and before the stop operation by the stop switch 50 is enabled. When the positions of the specific symbols 61a at the predetermined timing are compared with each other, the position of the specific symbol 61a of the predetermined rotating reel 40 is changed to another rotating reel 40 in a predetermined direction (for example, the rotating direction of the rotating reel 40). The rotation mode of some or all of the rotary reels 40 is changed so that the position of the specific symbol 61a is out of the predetermined arrangement mode because the distance to the specific symbol 61a is a position that is a predetermined number or more apart. . This change is referred to as “separation rearrangement”. Then, the rearrangement control unit 180 rotates the plurality of rotary reels 40 at the same rotational speed while the separated and rearranged ones can be displayed on the display window. Further, the rearrangement control means 180 increases the rotational speed of the rotary reel 40 in a state where the position of the specific symbol 61a of the rotating reel 40 being rotated is in the rearrangement state, thereby rotating at a predetermined rotational speed. Move to speed.

The gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment allows the rotary reel 40 to be displayed in a state where the specific symbol 61a of the rotating reel 40 being rotated is rearranged and rearranged by the rearrangement control means 180 can be displayed on the display window. After the rotation, the stop operation by the stop switch 50 is possible.
More specifically, the rearrangement control means 180 controls the rotation of the rotary reel 40 during the times E, F, G, and H shown in FIGS.
First, as shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, until the time T4, the rotating reel control means 170 causes the three rotary reels 40 at the same rotational speed V3 in a predetermined arrangement mode ("Red 7" is in a parallel state). It is rotating. At time T4, the rearrangement control means 180 pulses the middle reel 44 to increase the rotation speed V2, the right reel 45 to the rotation speed V4, and the left reel 43 to maintain the rotation speed V3. Control signal output. Then, the rotational speed of each rotary reel 40 is maintained at the set rotational speed.

  The rearrangement control means 180 continuously determines the interval between the specific symbols 61a of the left reel 43 and the middle reel 44 (specifically, “Red 7” of the BB role) from the rotational position data from the rotational position determination means 161. Collect. Then, the rearrangement control means 180 determines the middle reel 44 from the position where the specific symbol 61a rotates side by side from the rotational speed difference (V2-V3) between the left reel 43 and the middle reel 44 with the left reel 43 as a reference. Is counted in the rotation direction to 7 frames (14 frames in the opposite direction), the shortest time E until the distance is calculated, and the rotation is performed for that time E. Here, when the symbol “red 7” of the two rotating reels 40 is separated by 7 frames, the state where the two rotating reels 40 are arranged side by side and the symbol “red 7” is counted as 0 frames, and one is 1 When it rotates by one frame, it counts as one frame apart, and when one rotates by two frames, it counts as two frames apart, and repeats similarly, and when one rotates by seven frames, two reels Forty symbols “Red 7” count as 7 frames away. That is, in the state where 7 frames are separated, compared to the state where both symbols “Red 7” are arranged side by side, the symbol “Red 7” moved from the symbol “Red 7” in the state where they are arranged side by side, This means that there are 6 symbols.

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

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

Specifically, for example, the number of frames that can be retracted increases as the rotational speed of the rotary reel 40 increases. Further, if the total number of symbols (total number of frames) of the rotating reel 40 increases, the number of frames that can be drawn increases. In addition, for the active line, the number of retractable points increases until the second stop operation (so-called second stop operation) is performed. As the number of effective lines increases, the number of frames that can be drawn increases.
In the following description, it is assumed that the number of frames separating the symbol “red 7” of the two rotary reels 40 is 7.
The rearrangement control means 180 then decelerates the rotation speed of the middle reel 44 from V2 to V3, and when the time T5 is reached, the symbol “red 7” of the left reel 43 and the middle reel 44 is separated by 7 frames. The pulse signal is controlled so that the rotation is performed in the state. Then, the rearrangement control unit 180 controls the left reel 43 and the middle reel 44 to rotate at the same rotation speed V3 until the time T7 while maintaining the rotation speed V3.

  On the other hand, the rearrangement control means 180 continuously determines the interval between the specific symbols 61a (specifically, “Red 7” of the BB role) of the left reel 43 and the right reel 45 from the rotational position data from the rotational position determination means 161. Collect. Then, the rearrangement control means 180 determines the right reel 45 with reference to the left reel 43 from the position where the specific symbol 61a rotates side by side from the difference in rotational speed (V3-V4) between the left reel 43 and the right reel 45. Is counted in the rotation direction, and the time (E + F) until 14 frames (7 frames when counted in the opposite direction) is calculated, and the rotation is performed at this speed difference for the time (E + F). Then, the rearrangement control means 180 increases the rotational speed of the right reel 45 from V4 to V3, and when the time T6 is reached, the symbol “red 7” of the left reel 43 and the right reel 45 is displayed. The pulse signal is controlled so that the rotation is performed in a state where the predetermined number of frames are separated. Then, the rearrangement control unit 180 controls the left reel 43 and the right reel 45 to maintain the rotation speed V3 and rotate at the same rotation speed V3 until time T7.

As a result, the rearrangement control means 180 is in a state where the symbol “red 7” of the right reel 45 and the middle reel 44 is separated from the position of the specific symbol 61a of the left reel 43 by seven frames from time T6 to T7. In the state of relative positional relationship as shown in FIG. Thereby, the rearrangement control means 180 can rotate the rotary reel 40 at the same rotational speed from the arrangement mode in which the symbols “red 7” are arranged side by side in a state in which the arrangement mode is broken.
The rearrangement control means 180 is similar to the rotation effect control means 170, such as the rotation position data of the rotary reel 40 from the rotation position determination means 161, the rotation speed and the maintenance time stored in the rotation effect data storage means 210, etc. Based on the data, time and the like are calculated by an internal calculation means. The calculation calculation is executed while the calculation result is corrected each time the latest rotation position data is updated from the rotation position determination means 161. That is, the rearrangement control means 180 is similar to the spinning drum effect control means 170, and the passage of time information such as a predetermined time calculated from the rotational position and the rotational speed for controlling the rotary reel 40, and the rotational position determination means. The rotary reel 40 is controlled by both the rotational position information of the rotary reel 40 entering from 161. Note that the rearrangement control means 180 is not limited to this, as in the case of the rotation effect control means 170, and may control the rotary reel 40 mainly with predetermined time-lapse information, and the rotational position information The rotary reel 40 may be mainly controlled.

As described above, the rearrangement control unit 180 controls the rotation of the rotary reel 40 by the internal calculation unit based on the collected various data, but is not particularly limited to this. A data table in which all the position data and the rotation speed calculated from the position data and the maintenance time thereof are recorded in advance is provided in the rotating effect data storage means 210, and the initial stop position data and pre-stored data are provided. The rotary reel 40 may be controlled based on the above.
In addition, here, the symbol “red 7” of the three rotating reels 40 is controlled so that the right reel 45 and the middle reel 44 are separated from the left reel 43 by only 7 frames, but this is especially limited to these 7 frames. Is not to be done.

(Advantageous game control means 220)
The advantageous game control means 220 controls advantageous games. The advantageous game control means 220 according to the present embodiment displays the information indicating the result of the lottery of the role lottery means 110 on the display device 68 as an advantageous game, thereby giving the winning small role to the player. A game in which notification is given is performed. Such an advantageous game is called assist time (AT) or the like. This advantageous game is formed so that it can be executed a predetermined number of times by stopping and displaying the advantageous game transition combination on the active line. The player looks at the information displayed on the display device 68 and operates the stop switch 50 at a timing so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the selected small role is stopped on any active line, Compared to the case where there is no notification, a combination of symbols corresponding to a larger number of small roles can be stopped and displayed on the active line, so that a larger number of medals can be obtained. Thereby, the assist time (AT) as an advantageous game is a game that is more advantageous to the player than the normal game.

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

In this embodiment, the turning effect by the turning effect control means 170 is formed so that it can be executed only during the normal game, and is not executed during the special game and the advantageous game. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be formed so that the turning effect is produced by the turning effect control means 170 even during an advantageous game. Thereby, the notification by the spinning effect is also added, and it is possible to give the player an opportunity to further notify the winning information.
(Production data storage means 230)
The effect data storage means 230 stores effect data of an effect to be executed and execution probability data in which an execution probability that is a probability of executing the effect is predetermined. The execution contents of the effect are configured by display on the display device 68, lighting / flashing of the effect lamp 17, sound generation from the speaker, and the like.

(Production control means 240)
The effect control means 240 executes the effect. In the present embodiment, the effect control means 240 executes the corresponding effect based on the effect data from the effect data storage means 230 based on the result lottery result by the role lottery means 110 based on the result of the effect lottery. It is formed to be possible.
(Operation of gaming machine 10)
Hereinafter, based on the flowchart shown in FIG.11 and FIG.12, the outline | summary of operation | movement of the gaming machine 10 which concerns on this Embodiment is demonstrated.

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

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

In step 116, the spinning effect lottery process is performed by the spinning effect lottery means 120. In this spinning effect lottery process, the actual lottery is executed only when a predetermined condition is satisfied, and the lottery is not executed when the predetermined condition is not satisfied. Of course, the lottery probability when the condition is not satisfied may be set to 0 and the lottery may be executed in all cases. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 117.
In step 117, the weight control means 190 determines whether or not the time measured by the time measuring means for measuring the wait time is 4.1 seconds or less. If it is determined that the time is 4.1 seconds or less, the process proceeds to step 118. On the other hand, if it is determined that it is not less than 4.1 seconds, that is, it exceeds 4.1 seconds, the process proceeds to step 119.

In step 118, the weight control unit 190 performs weight processing. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 119.
In step 119, based on the lottery result of the reeling effect lottery means 120, it is determined whether or not to perform the spinning effect. If it is determined that the spinning effect is to be performed, the process proceeds to the next step 120. If it is determined that the spinning effect is not to be performed, the process proceeds to step 121.
In step 120, the spinning effect production process and the rearrangement process are performed by the rotation effect production control means 170. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 121.
In step 121, a process for shifting the rotation of the rotary reel 40 to the steady rotational speed is performed. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 122.

In step 122, it is determined whether or not the stop switch 50 has been operated. When it is determined that the stop switch 50 has been operated, the process proceeds to the next step 123, and when it is determined that the stop switch 50 has not been operated, the process returns to before step 122.
In step 123, stop control of the rotary reel 40 corresponding to the operated stop switch 50 is performed by the stop control means 130. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 124.
In step 124, the game control means 27 determines whether or not the rotation of all the rotary reels 40 has been stopped. Here, if it is determined that the rotation of all the rotary reels 40 has stopped, the process proceeds to step 125. On the other hand, if it is determined that the rotation of all the reels 40 has not stopped, the process returns to step 122.

In step 125, the stop symbol determination means 140 determines whether or not a combination of symbols corresponding to any of the combinations has been stopped and displayed on any effective line. Here, if it is determined that the display is stopped, the process proceeds to step 126. On the other hand, when it is determined that the stop display is not performed, the process ends.
In step 126, the game control means 27 performs a process corresponding to the combination corresponding to the combination of symbols that are stopped and displayed. For example, when a combination of symbols corresponding to any small combination is stopped and displayed, the number of medals corresponding to the combination is paid out. Then, the process ends.

Next, the above-described flow of the spinning drum effect process and the rearrangement process will be described.
In step 211 shown in FIG. 12, the rotating drum effect control means 170 starts the rotation of the three rotary reels 40 at different rotational speeds. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 212.
In step 212, it is determined whether or not the left reel 43 (left cylinder) and the right reel 45 (right cylinder) are in the designated symbol position (arrangement mode). Specifically, it is determined whether or not the symbols “red 7” of the left reel 43 and the right reel 45 are rotated side by side based on predetermined time lapse information and symbol position information. is there. And when it determines with it being this symbol position (arrangement | positioning aspect), it progresses to the following step 213. On the other hand, if it is determined that it is not such a symbol position, the process returns to step 212.

In step 213, the rotation speeds of the left reel 43 and the right reel 45 are adjusted to the same rotation speed V3. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 214.
In step 214, it is determined whether or not the left reel 43 (left cylinder) and the middle reel 44 (middle cylinder) are in the designated symbol position (arrangement mode). Specifically, it is determined whether or not the symbols “red 7” of the left reel 43 and the middle reel 44 are rotated side by side based on predetermined time-lapse information and symbol position information. is there. And when it determines with it being this symbol position (arrangement | positioning aspect), it progresses to the following step 215. On the other hand, if it is determined that it is not such a symbol position, the process returns to step 214.

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

In step 216, after a predetermined time has elapsed, the relocation control means 180 changes the rotational speeds of the three rotary reels 40 to different rotational speeds. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 217.
In step 217, it is determined whether or not the middle reel 44 is located at a predetermined number of frames counting from the left reel 43 as a starting point in a predetermined direction (the rotation direction of the rotary reel 40). Specifically, the symbol “red 7” of the middle reel 44 changes from the symbol “red 7” of the left reel 43 in a predetermined direction (the rotation direction of the rotary reel 40) based on predetermined time-lapse information and symbol position information. It is determined whether or not the position is 7 frames away (14 frames when counted from the opposite direction). If it is determined that the position is the predetermined position, the process proceeds to the next step 218. On the other hand, if it is determined that the position is not the predetermined position, the process returns to step 217.

  In step 218, starting from the left reel 43, the right reel 45 is moved in a predetermined direction (the rotation direction of the rotary reel 40 and the same direction as the predetermined direction in step 217. For example, the counter-rotating direction may be counted), and it is determined whether or not the position is separated by another predetermined number of frames. Specifically, the symbol “red 7” of the right reel 45 changes from the symbol “red 7” of the left reel 43 in a predetermined direction (the rotation direction of the rotary reel 40) based on the predetermined time passage information and symbol position information. Whether or not the position is 14 frames away (7 frames when counted from the opposite direction) is determined. And when it determines with it being this predetermined position, the said process is complete | finished. On the other hand, if it is determined that the position is not the predetermined position, the process returns to step 218.

In steps 217 to 218 described above, the middle reel 44 and the right reel 45 are separated in this order. However, the order of the separated rotary reels 40 is not limited to this, and the right reel 45 To the middle reel 44 in this order. This also applies to the case where the reference rotation reel 40 is not the left reel 43 but another rotation reel 40, and the release order is formed in any order of the remaining two rotation reels 40. You can also
In the above flow, the left reel 43 and the middle reel 44 are separated from each other in a predetermined direction (rotation direction) by a predetermined number of frames, the counting direction of the predetermined number of frames is set to the same direction, and the left reel 43 and the right reel 45 are in a predetermined direction. By separating the number of frames different from the predetermined number of frames (in the rotation direction), it is ensured that the specific symbols 61a of the right reel 45 and the middle reel 44 are not arranged side by side. However, in the case where the detection is performed regardless of the direction in which the number of frames between the two symbols is counted, the above-described steps are performed so that the specific symbols 61a of the right reel 45 and the middle reel 44 are not arranged side by side. Instead of 217 and 218, “the right reel 45 and the left reel 43 are separated by a predetermined number of frames, the left reel 43 and the middle reel 44 are separated by a predetermined number of frames, and the middle reel 44 and the right reel 45 are separated by a predetermined number of frames. Or maybe? ” Thus, even in such a case, the specific symbol 61a between the left reel 43 and the right reel 45 is separated by a predetermined number of frames, and the specific symbol 61a between the left reel 43 and the middle reel 44 is separated by a predetermined number of frames, The specific symbol 61a between the 44 and the right reel 45 can be in a state of being separated by a predetermined number of frames.

(Action / Effect)
According to the present embodiment, when the spinning effect control means 170 decides to execute the spinning effect as a result of the lottery effect lottery means 120 during the normal game, the stop switch 50 can be operated. During the spinning effect of the rotating reel 40 before the rotation, the speed of the three rotating reels 40 is changed so as to rotate in the predetermined arrangement form in which the symbols “red 7” are arranged side by side in parallel. Specifically, during the time (B + C) between times T1 and T3, the symbols “red 7” of the three rotary reels 40 are aligned. Then, during the time D from the time T3 to the time T4, the three rotary reels 40 are rotated at the same rotational speed while maintaining the predetermined arrangement mode. As a result, in the three rotating reels 40, the symbol “red 7”, which is a symbol of the BB role that can shift to the BB game that can give more profits of the player than the normal game, is in a parallel state. It can arrange so that it may rotate in the state which became the arrangement | positioning aspect. For this reason, the expectation of a predetermined profit provision can be given.

Thereafter, the rearrangement control means 180 changes the rotational speeds of the three rotary reels 40 separately so that the rotating rotary reels 40 are destroyed from the arrangement state in which the symbols “red 7” are in parallel. And the arrangement | positioning aspect of the three rotation reels 40 can be made into the broken state, It is made to rotate with a predetermined | prescribed rotational speed in the broken state. Thereby, the arrangement | positioning aspect which is the parallel state of the symbol "red 7" does not collapse during rotation of the rotary reel 40, and does not become an aid to pushing. Therefore, even for a player who is skilled in the skill of pressing, the fun of the pressing is not halved and the interest of the game can be improved.
(Partial modification of the rotation mode of the rotating reel 40 in the spinning effect)
In the present embodiment, when the position of the symbol “red 7”, which is the specific symbol 61a detected by the rotational position detecting means 160, is compared between the rotating reels 40 that are rotating, the symbol “red 7” is rotated a plurality of times. The rotation mode of the all-revolution reel 40 is changed so that the reel 40 rotates in a state where it can be displayed on the display window 13 with the pattern “red 7” being aligned. The plurality of rotary reels 40 are rotated at the same rotational speed while maintaining the predetermined arrangement mode.

Here, various "variation examples" can be considered for the "rotation mode in the spinning effect" performed at times A, B, C, and D in FIG. The contents of various rotation modes will be described below. In the following partial modification, like the description of FIG. 9, in the drawing, the left reel 43 is indicated by a solid line, the middle reel 44 is indicated by a one-dot chain line, and the right reel 45 is indicated by a two-dot chain line.
(Rotation mode in the spinning effect (1))
First, as shown in FIG. 13, the rotational speed of the rotary reel 40 is changed to be different. Here, FIG. 13 is an enlarged view of the initial part of the rotation in the conceptual diagram showing the change in the rotational speed of the three rotary reels 40 of FIG. Here, as the rotation starts, the three rotary reels 40 are rotated at different rotational accelerations, and when the time T1 is reached, the rotational speeds of the three rotary reels 40 reach V2, V3, and V4. doing. Thereafter, as described above, by changing the rotational speed of the three rotary reels 40 as described above, the symbol “red 7” of the left reel 43, the middle reel 44, and the right reel 45 is being rotated. The relative positions are aligned. The “changing the rotation mode” by the rotating effect control means 170 is not limited to the above.

(Rotation mode in the rendition effect (2))
For example, as shown in FIG. 14, the rotation acceleration may be set to be the same for the three rotary reels 40 as the three rotary reels 40 start to rotate. Each rotating reel 40 keeps rotating at each speed when it reaches rotational speeds V2, V3, and V4, and rotates for a predetermined time by the rotational speed difference with the left reel 43. During rotation, the display windows 13 can be relatively aligned so that they can be displayed.
(Rotation mode in the swivel effect (3))
Further, when the stop mode arrangement before the start of rotation is grasped by storing the stop position of the previous game, the rotation of the three rotary reels 40 is not started at the same time but as shown in FIG. In addition, by shifting the rotation start timing, the predetermined symbol “red 7” can be relatively aligned during rotation. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 15, first, rotation of the left reel 43 (solid line in FIG. 15) is started, and the rotational speed is increased at a constant rotational acceleration. At that time, the middle reel 44 and the right reel 45 remain stopped. The left reel 43 reaches the rotation speed V2 when the time M1 is reached, and keeps rotating at a constant speed V2. Then, after the rotation of the right reel 45 (two-dot chain line in FIG. 15) is started at time M2, the rotation of the middle reel 44 (one-dot chain line in FIG. 15) is started at time M3. By shifting the rotation start timing, the rotation is maintained at the rotation speed V2 while the symbols “red 7” of the left reel 43 and the right reel 45 are aligned side by side at the time M4. At time M5, the left reel 43 and the middle reel 44 are kept rotating at the rotational speed V2 while the symbols “red 7” are aligned side by side. As a result, the three rotary reels 40 The rotation is maintained in a state where the red 7 ”is maintained side by side. The operation of the rotation mode of the rotary reel 40 after the time M5 is the same as that after the time T3 in FIG. 10 of the first embodiment.

Thus, by shifting the rotation start timing of the rotary reel 40, the rotational acceleration and rotational speed of the rotary reel 40 can be set to be the same for all three rotary reels 40. As a result, in the production of the rotation control programming of the rotary reel 40, the parameter to be changed can be set only for the time, and the rotation acceleration and the rotation speed can all be made common, and the control programming can be facilitated. it can.
In such a case, in the previous game, it is necessary to store the stop position of the rotary reel 40 and maintain the memory until the current game.
(Rotation mode in spinning effect (4))
In addition, as shown in FIG. 16, the three rotary reels 40 are started to rotate at the same time, and after rotating at the same rotational acceleration and the same rotational speed, by shifting the stop timing of the three rotary reels 40, It can be stopped so that the symbols “red 7” are aligned. At time N3, the two rotating reels 40 are stopped when the symbols “red 7” are aligned, and at time N4, the three rotating reels 40 are stopped when the symbols “red 7” are aligned. . Then, from the state where the symbols “Red 7” are aligned and stopped, the three rotary reels 40 start rotating simultaneously, rotate at the same rotational acceleration and the same rotational speed, and the symbol “Red 7” is aligned. The state is rotated as an effect while showing the state after time N5. After that, it is the same as the time T3 in the first embodiment. Note that the order of the rotating reels 40 to be temporarily stopped can be changed as appropriate.

(Rotation mode in the spinning effect (5))
In addition, as shown in FIG. 17, among the three rotary reels 40, a predetermined rotary reel 40 is reversely rotated so that the symbols “red 7” are aligned, and thereafter, all the three rotary reels 40 are rotated forward. “Red 7” is in a state of being aligned. In the rotation mode shown in FIG. 17, only the right reel 45 indicated by a two-dot chain line starts reverse rotation of the other rotation reel 40 and reversely rotates it, and increases the reverse rotation speed until time P1, and after time P1, Decrease the reverse rotation speed. Then, at time P2, the rotational speed is 0, that is, a stop state, and thereafter, the rotational speed is increased by forward rotation from time P2 to P4. At time P4, the rotation speed V2 is constant at a rotation speed V2 in a state where it can be displayed on the display window 13 in a state where it is aligned with the pattern “red 7” of the left reel 43. Then, the middle reel 44 also starts to rotate at time P3, and at the time P5, it is in a state where the symbols “red 7” of the other two rotating reels 40 are aligned. As a result, the symbols “red” of the three rotating reels 40 Rotate in a state where it can be displayed on the display window 13 in a state where 7 ”is aligned. Here, the predetermined rotation reel 40 to be reversely rotated is only one of the right reel 45, but is not particularly limited to this, and may be another rotation reel 40, or two or all of them. The rotary reel 40 may be reversely rotated.

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

Further, the rotation modes (1) to (5) in the above-described spinning drum effect can be used in combination as appropriate. Further, the reference rotation reel 40 is not particularly limited to the left reel 43, and the order of rotation start and the magnitude of the rotation speed may be appropriately changed for each rotation reel 40.
(Partial modification of rotation mode of rotating reel 40 in rearrangement)
In the present embodiment, the rearrangement control means 180, after the turning effect by the turning effect control means 170, before the stop operation by the stop switch 50 is enabled, the specific symbols 61a of the plurality of rotating reels 40 being rotated. The arrangement of the pattern “red 7” is rearranged so that the collapsed arrangement is rotated so that it can be displayed on the display window, and the rotation mode of the rotary reel 40 is changed. A plurality of rotating reels 40 are rotated at the same rotation speed in a state where the predetermined arrangement mode is broken and can be displayed on the display window.

Here, various partial modifications can be considered for the “rotation mode in rearrangement” performed after time T4 in FIG. The rotation modes in various rearrangements are described below.
(Rotation mode in rearrangement (1))
First, in the “rotation mode in rearrangement” as shown in FIG. 10, the rotational speeds of the three rotary reels 40 are changed to be different as shown in FIG. Here, FIG. 18 shows the rotation mode of the rearrangement of the three rotary reels 40 of FIG. 10 according to the first embodiment, and shows the change of the rotational speed in the rearrangement. Is an enlarged version. Here, the rotational speeds of the three rotating reels 40 that have been rotated at the same rotational speed of the rotational speed V3 are rotated at different times from the time T4, and when the time T5 is reached, this is indicated by a one-dot chain line. In addition, the symbol “red 7” between the middle reel 44 and the left reel 43 indicated by a solid line is a predetermined number of frames (the specific symbol 61a of the middle reel 44 is rotated in the rotation direction of the rotary reel 40 with the specific symbol 61a of the left reel 43 as a reference) When the time T6 is reached, the symbol “red 7” between the right reel 45 indicated by a two-dot chain line and the left reel 43 indicated by a solid line has a predetermined number of frames (left reel). With the 43 specific symbols 61a as a reference, when the specific symbol 61a of the right reel 45 is counted in the rotation direction of the rotary reel 40, it is 14 frames, and when counted in the opposite direction, it is 7 frames) apart. When the number of frames which is the shortest distance between the two symbols of the symbol “red 7” of the right reel 45 and the symbol “red 7” of the middle reel 44 is counted, it is 7 frames away. Then, during the time G, it rotates at the rotational speed V3 in that state, and the three rotary reels 40 simultaneously increase the rotational speed from time T7, and reach the steady rotational speed V1 at time T8. And it is formed so that the operation of the stop switch 50 becomes effective from this time T8. In addition, the aspect which changes a rotational speed is not limited to this, The arrangement | positioning aspect in the state in which the pattern "red 7" was gathered can be rearranged so that it may leave | separate more than predetermined frame number (7 frames). As long as it is such, other modes of changing the rotation speed may be used.

(Rotation mode in rearrangement (2))
For example, as shown in FIG. 19, the rotation speed of the reference left reel 43 is increased from time T4 to time T5 to be the rotation speed V1. The rotation speed difference (V1−V2) is maintained for a time when the symbol “red 7” is separated by a predetermined number of frames (7 frames), and the rotation speed of the middle reel 44 is increased from time T6 to T7. The rotational speed is set to V1 at T7. In this state, the symbol “red 7” between the left reel 43 and the middle reel 44 is separated by a predetermined number of frames (7 frames). Similarly, the right reel 45 also maintains the rotational speed difference (V1-V2) state, increases the rotational speed from time T8 to T9, and sets the rotational speed to V1 at time T9. As a result, the symbol “red 7” of the left reel 43 and the right reel 45 is also counted in a predetermined number of frames (the specific symbol 61a of the right reel 45 is counted in the rotation direction of the rotary reel 40 based on the specific symbol 61a of the left reel 43. When 14 frames are counted in the opposite direction, 7 frames are separated. The number of frames that is the shortest distance between the symbols “red 7” of the right reel 45 and the symbol “red 7” of the middle reel 44 is also set to be seven.

(Rotation mode in rearrangement (3))
Further, as shown in FIG. 20, until the time Q4 of time D, the three rotating reels 40 are rotated in a state where the symbols “red 7” are aligned. Then, the left reel 43 indicated by a solid line as a reference from time Q4 to Q5 decelerates the rotation speed to become 0 at time Q5 and stops. Then, the middle reel 44 indicated by the alternate long and short dash line stops at time Q6, and in the stopped state, the symbol “red 7” of the left reel 43 and the middle reel 44 has a predetermined number of frames (the specific symbol 61a of the left reel 43). If the specific symbol 61a of the middle reel 44 is counted in the rotation direction of the rotary reel 40, the frame stops at a distance of 7 frames). Similarly, the right reel 45 indicated by a two-dot chain line also decreases the rotation speed, stops at the rotation speed 0 at time Q7. In this state, the symbol “red 7” of the left reel 43 and the right reel 45 has a predetermined number of frames (the specific symbol 61a of the right reel 45 in the rotational direction of the rotary reel 40 with reference to the specific symbol 61a of the left reel 43). It is 14 frames when counted and 7 frames when counted in the opposite direction). Then, the stop state continues for time H, and at time Q8, the three rotary reels 40 start rotating at the same rotational acceleration at the same time, and reach the steady rotational speed V1 at time Q9. The number of frames that is the shortest distance between the symbols “red 7” of the right reel 45 and the symbol “red 7” of the middle reel 44 is also set to be seven.

(Rotation mode in rearrangement (4))
Further, as shown in FIG. 21, until the time R4 of time D, the three rotating reels 40 are rotating at the same rotational speed V2 with the symbols “red 7” being aligned. Then, from time R4 to R5, the three rotary reels 40 decelerate the rotational speed at the same rotational acceleration, and at time R5, the three rotary reels 40 are stopped simultaneously. In this state, the symbol “red 7” is stopped in an aligned state. At that time, the symbols “red 7” of the three rotary reels 40 are stopped in a horizontal line along the middle line L2 of the display window 13. Then, the stop state continues only for time F, and at time R6, the left reel 43 indicated by the solid line as a reference starts to rotate, and the rotational speed is increased to the rotational speed V1. On the other hand, the middle reel 44 indicated by the alternate long and short dash line starts to rotate at the same rotational acceleration as the left reel 43 at time R7 with a time G behind the left reel 43, and increases the speed to the rotational speed V1. At time R9, the symbol “red 7” of the left reel 43 and the middle reel 44 has a predetermined number of frames (the specific symbol 61a of the middle reel 44 is rotated on the rotating reel 40 based on the particular symbol 61a of the left reel 43). When counting in the direction, 7 frames) Continue to rotate at the same rotation speed in the disposition mode. At time R8, the right reel 45 indicated by the two-dot chain line also starts rotating. At time R10, the symbol “red 7” of the left reel 43 and the right reel 45 has a predetermined number of frames (a specific symbol of the left reel 43). With 61a as a reference, the specific symbol 61a of the right reel 45 is 14 frames when counted in the direction of rotation of the rotating reel 40 and 7 frames when counted in the opposite direction. Continue rotating at (speed). Note that the number of frames between the symbols “red 7” of the right reel 45 and “red 7” of the middle reel 44 is also set to be seven.

(Rotation mode in rearrangement (5))
Further, as shown in FIG. 22, until the time S4 of time D, the three rotary reels 40 are rotating at the same rotational speed V2 with the symbols “red 7” being aligned. Then, from time S4, the left reel 43 indicated by the solid line serving as a reference increases the rotational speed, and after reaching the rotational speed V1, maintains the rotational speed V1 (steady rotational speed). Then, the middle reel 44 indicated by the alternate long and short dash line from time S4 starts to decelerate the rotation speed, reaches the rotation speed 0 at time S5, temporarily stops, and then immediately starts to rotate in the reverse rotation direction. After reaching the reverse rotational speed V3 at time S6, the reverse rotational speed starts to decrease, and at time S7, the rotational speed becomes zero and once stopped, The rotation starts in the forward rotation direction, the rotation speed is increased, and the rotation speed V1 is reached at time S8. At that time, the symbol “red 7” of the left reel 43 and the middle reel 44 counts a predetermined number of frames (the specific symbol 61a of the middle reel 44 is counted in the rotation direction of the rotary reel 40 based on the specific symbol 61a of the left reel 43. Then, it is in a state in which the rotation is continued at the same rotation speed V1 in the disposition mode in which 7 frames are separated. On the other hand, the right reel 45 indicated by the two-dot chain line keeps rotating at the rotation speed V2 from time S4 to S9, and the relative position of the symbol “red 7” due to the rotation speed difference (V1−V2) of the left reel 43. , The rotational speed is increased from time S9 to time S10, and the rotational speed V1 is reached at time S10. At the time S10, the symbol “red 7” of the left reel 43 and the right reel 45 has a predetermined number of frames (the specific symbol 61a of the right reel 45 is referred to as the rotation direction of the rotary reel 40 based on the specific symbol 61a of the left reel 43). 14 frames and 7 frames when counting in the opposite direction), the rotation is continued at the same rotation speed V1 in the disposition state. Note that the number of frames between the symbols “red 7” of the right reel 45 and “red 7” of the middle reel 44 is also set to be seven.

  Here, in the rotation modes (1) to (5) in the rearrangement described above, the right reel 45 and the middle reel 44 have a predetermined number of frames based on the left reel 43, specifically, seven frames or 14 The rotation speed is changed and the timing for starting rotation is shifted so that the shortest distance between the two is 7 frames as a result, and the rotation start timing is shifted as a result. It is not limited and other numerical values may be used. The number of frames exceeding 7 frames may be set. Moreover, although the numerical value is preset, you may make it fluctuate | variate by lottery etc. every time or a predetermined opportunity. In addition, although 7 frames are set as a numerical value that is distant from the maximum number of frames to be drawn, it is possible to set a numerical value smaller than 7 frames if it does not assist in pushing.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the timing at which the index 47 cuts the index sensor 48 is not specifically described. However, a pulse to the stepping motor 64 output from the motor driver 62 by the rotation effect control means 170 is not described. It is used to judge the rotational speed, rotational speed fluctuation, current rotational position, etc. by counting the number, and when there is a deviation from the judgment at the timing when the index 47 turns off the index sensor 48, It is formed so that the shift can be automatically corrected. And it is formed so that it can respond also to the complicated fluctuation | variation of the above rotational speeds by such deviation | shift correction | amendment.

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

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

As the assist time (AT), for example, a type in which an operation order (so-called “push order”) of the stop switch 50 in which the selected small combination can be stopped and displayed may be notified.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, but includes modifications and improvements as long as the object of the present invention can be achieved. In addition, the present invention can be appropriately combined or rearranged with the above-described embodiments.
(Second Embodiment)
In the first embodiment, the rearrangement control means 180 controls the symbol “red 7” to be separated by seven frames so that the symbol “red 7” is out of the pull-in range when breaking the arrangement mode from the parallel state of the symbol “red 7”. Was. In the present embodiment, when the symbol “red 7” is broken from the parallel arrangement mode, the pattern “red 7” is selected from a predetermined arrangement mode that is already broken in advance.

Specifically, the rotating symbol position selecting means for selecting the position of the symbol arrangement between the plurality of rotating reels 40 during rotation from a plurality of predetermined arrangement modes in which the symbol “red 7” is broken. It is equipped with.
This rotating symbol position selection means selects a predetermined arrangement manner by lottery from an arrangement manner storage means for storing a plurality of predetermined arrangement manners in which the symbol “red 7” is collapsed. Arrangement mode lottery means. And the selected arrangement | positioning aspect is selected based on the lottery result of the arrangement | positioning aspect lottery means.
Then, the rearrangement control means 180 is configured so that the symbol “red 7”, which is the specific symbol 61a, is in the rotating symbol position selection means after the rotation effect by the rotation effect control means 170 and before the stop operation by the stop switch 50 becomes possible. The rotational speed of the rotary reel 40 is changed so that the symbol position (selective rearrangement) determined in advance is obtained. The rearrangement control means 180 then rotates the plurality of rotary reels 40 at the same rotational speed in the selected rearrangement state.

Then, after the rotating reel 40 is rotated with the position of the specific symbol 61a of the rotating reel 40 being rotated selected by the rearrangement control means 180, a stop operation by the stop switch 50 is enabled. Is.
Other configurations, operations, and effects are the same as those in the first embodiment. In the present embodiment, when the predetermined arrangement mode is destroyed, the predetermined arrangement mode is selected from the predetermined arrangement modes. Therefore, the control program for breaking the arrangement mode can be made unnecessary, and the control process Can be done easily and quickly.
(Third embodiment)
The present embodiment includes a rotating symbol position lottery means for determining the positions of the symbols 61 between a plurality of rotating reels 40 during partial or all rotation by lottery.

Then, the rearrangement control means 180 becomes the position of the symbol 61 determined by the rotating symbol position lottery means after the rotation effect by the rotation effect control means 170 and before the stop operation by the stop switch 50 becomes possible. As described above, the rotation mode of some or all of the rotary reels 40 is changed. This change is referred to as “random rearrangement”. Thereafter, the rearrangement control means 180 rotates the plurality of rotating reels 40 at the same rotational speed while the randomly rearranged ones can be displayed on the display window 13.
The gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment is such that the repositioning reel 40 is in a state where the specific symbols 61a of the rotating reel 40 being rotated are rearranged randomly by the rearrangement control means 180 and can be displayed on the display window 13. After the rotation, the stop operation by the stop switch 50 is enabled.

In the present embodiment, there is provided a rotating symbol position lottery means for determining, by lottery, the positions of symbol arrangements among a plurality of rotating reels 40 during rotation when the symbol “red 7” breaks from the parallel arrangement mode. Yes. In the first embodiment, when the symbol “red 7” is broken from the arrangement mode in the parallel state, the collapsed arrangement mode is prepared in advance as the arrangement mode data stored in the arrangement mode storage unit 185 in advance. In the present embodiment, the relative position of the rotating reel 40 is determined for each rotating reel 40 by lottery.
Specifically, the rotating symbol position lottery means determines the relative positional relationship between the symbols of the three rotating reels 40 being rotated by lottery. The rotating symbol position lottery means determines by lottery how many frames the symbol “red 7” of the middle reel 44 and the right reel 45 is shifted with respect to the symbol “red 7” of the reference left reel 43. . When the symbol “red 7” of the middle reel 44 or the right reel 45 is positioned beside the symbol “red 7” of the left reel 43, the deviation is 0 frame, and the symbol of the middle reel 44 or right reel 45 from that position is zero. When “Red 7” is shifted one frame downstream of the rotation, the shift is one frame. The case of 0 to 20 occurs in the entire circumference, and the rotating symbol position lottery means determines one of 20 numerical values from 1 to 20 by lottery for each of the middle reel 44 and the right reel 45. Is.

Then, the rearrangement control means 180, after the turning effect by the turning effect control means 170 that rotates the symbols “red 7” in parallel, before the stop operation by the stop switch 50 is enabled, The rotational speed of the rotary reel 40 is varied so that “red 7” becomes the symbol position determined by the rotating symbol position lottery means (hereinafter referred to as “random rearrangement”). The rearrangement control means 180 then rotates the plurality of rotating reels 40 at the same rotational speed in the random rearrangement state.
Then, after the rotation of the rotating reel 40 at the same rotation speed with the position of the specific symbol 61a of the rotating reel 40 being rotated by the rearrangement control means 180 being randomly rearranged, a stop operation by the stop switch 50 is possible. It was made to become.

Other configurations, operations, and effects are the same as those in the first embodiment. In the present embodiment, when the predetermined arrangement mode is broken, the lottery is randomly selected from the 20 symbol numbers, and therefore the result of the lottery is completely natural because no intention is felt in the arrangement mode. Can be made.
In addition, in order not to enter the three frames of the display window 13, out of the above-mentioned n, m frames, the lottery probability of n, m being 1, 2, 19, 20 is 0 or other You may make it make it smaller than a numerical value. As a result, it is possible to further avoid that the specific symbol 61a is solidified and assists in pushing.

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

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

(Fourth embodiment)
In the first to third embodiments described above, the rotating role effect control means 170 performs the BB role design during the rotation of the rotary reel 40 from the start switch 30 operation to the stop switch 50 operation. The design pattern “Red 7” is arranged in a parallel state to improve the expectation of the transition to the BB game and to give a sense of excitement. After that, the arrangement mode is broken by the rearrangement control means 180. However, in the present embodiment, the arrangement mode as described above is not performed during the rotation of the rotary reel 40, and until the pressing operation of the stop switch 50 becomes possible, in the arrangement mode, The rotary reel 40 is stopped, and its arrangement mode is directly paused. Of course, this temporary stop is only one aspect of the spinning effect, and is not an official stop display of the BB role due to the pressing operation of the stop switch 50 in a state where the pressing operation of the stop switch 50 is valid. It does not shift to the BB game.

Specifically, after the rotating reel 40 starts rotating, before the stop switch 50 can be operated, the stop effect control means for stopping the specific symbol 61a in a predetermined arrangement mode, and the stop effect control means After the stop effect is performed, the revolving reel 40 is re-rotated, and a re-rotation control means for changing the predetermined arrangement mode is provided.
The present embodiment has a stop effect control means for performing a rotation effect by a temporary stop instead of the rotation effect control means 170 for performing a rotation effect during rotation in the first to third embodiments. However, instead of the rearrangement control means 180 that breaks the predetermined arrangement mode during rotation in the first to third embodiments, in the process of starting the rotation of the rotating reel 40 that has been temporarily stopped, It has a re-rotation control means for changing the arrangement mode.

Specifically, if the stop effect control means is determined to execute the rotation effect as a result of the lottery effect lottery means 120, before the stop switch 50 can be operated after the start switch 30 is operated. In addition, the symbol “red 7” of the three rotating reels 40 is temporarily stopped on the middle line L2 for a predetermined time.
Then, the re-rotation control unit re-rotates the rotary reel 40 after the stop effect by the stop effect control unit and before the stop operation by the stop switch 50 becomes possible. At the same time, during this re-rotation, each rotary reel 40 is rotated so that the position of the specific symbol 61a of the three rotary reels 40 is destroyed from the predetermined arrangement mode (parallel state of the symbol “red 7”). The three rotary reels 40 are rotated at the same rotational speed in a state where the predetermined arrangement mode is broken.

Then, after the rotation reel 40 is rotated in a state where the predetermined arrangement pattern of the specific symbol 61a is broken in each rotating reel 40 being rotated by the re-rotation control means, a stop operation by the stop switch 50 is enabled. It is what.
Here, as a method of breaking the predetermined arrangement mode by the re-rotation control means, that is, a method of breaking the aligned state from the state where the pattern “red 7” is aligned, as shown in the flow of FIG. The rotational speeds of the three rotary reels 40 can be performed at different rotational speeds. Thereafter, the predetermined arrangement mode can be rearranged by the separation rearrangement separated by the predetermined number of frames described in the first embodiment.

  The specific game flow is such that the spinning effect processing in step 120 of the first embodiment is as shown in FIG. 23A instead of the flow in FIG. That is, in step 311, the third cylinder is stopped so as to be in a predetermined arrangement mode. Specifically, the pattern “red 7” is aligned with the middle line L2 and temporarily stopped. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 312. In step 312, the three rotary reels 40 are started to rotate at different rotational speeds. Steps 313 and 314 are the same as steps 217 and 218 of the first embodiment, in which the predetermined number of frames and the specific symbol 61a are separated and the predetermined arrangement mode is broken.

In addition, as shown in the flow of FIG. 23 (b), as a technique for breaking the predetermined arrangement mode by the re-rotation control means, that is, a technique for breaking the aligned state from the state where the pattern “red 7” is aligned, The rotation start timings of the three rotary reels 40 may be changed (shifted). Then, the rearrangement of the predetermined arrangement mode can be performed by the separation rearrangement separated by the predetermined number of frames described in the first embodiment by the same processing as in FIG.
Further, in FIGS. 23A and 23B described above, the separation rearrangement, which is the rearrangement that separates the symbol “red 7” by the predetermined number of frames described in the first embodiment, is performed. In particular, it is not limited to this. For example, the selective rearrangement described in the second embodiment or the random rearrangement described in the third embodiment may be executed.

In the first to fourth embodiments described above, the rearrangement control unit 180 or the rearrangement control unit performs the selection rearrangement, random rearrangement, or separation rearrangement of the symbol “red 7” by one rotation. You may make it implement only with a reel. Specifically, the remaining two rotating reels 40 remain in an aligned state, but only one rotating reel 40 is in a state of collapsed from the aligned predetermined arrangement mode.
Further, in the first to fourth embodiments described above, as a method of breaking the predetermined arrangement mode in the rearrangement control unit 180 or the re-rotation control unit, the above-described separation rearrangement that separates the predetermined number of frames, or random relocation by lottery. Arrangement and selective rearrangement selected from predetermined ones can be appropriately employed.

Further, in the first to fourth embodiments described above, the rotation mode by the stop effect control unit or the spinning effect control unit is various as in the partial modification of the rotation mode described in the first example. Is applicable.
Further, in the first to fourth embodiments described above, a method of breaking the predetermined arrangement mode by the re-rotation control unit or the rearrangement control unit, that is, the state where the pattern “red 7” is aligned, Various methods can be applied as the method of breaking the shape in the same manner as the partial modification of the rotation mode described in the first embodiment.
(Supplementary explanation of the embodiment)

After the turning effect by the turning effect control means (170), before the stop operation by the stop switch (50) is possible, the positions of the specific symbols (61a) of the rotating reels (40) are rotated. Predetermined rotation leads are used so that the objects that have collapsed from the predetermined arrangement are rotated in a state that they can be displayed on the display window (13). Rearrangement control that changes the rotation mode of (40), and then rotates the plurality of rotary reels (40) at the same rotational speed in a state where the predetermined layout mode is displayed on the display window (13). Means (180).
Then, in each rotating reel (40) being rotated by the rearrangement control means (180), in a state in which the predetermined arrangement mode of the specific symbol (61a) can be displayed on the display window (13), the rotating reel ( After rotating 40), a stop operation by a stop switch (50) is made possible.
Among the above, “change the rotation mode” so that “predetermined arrangement mode” or “an arrangement of the predetermined arrangement mode (arrangement mode)” “rotates in a state where it can be displayed on the display window (13)”. “Changing the rotation mode” in the case includes the following.
(A) By changing the rotation speed during rotation, a “predetermined arrangement mode” or “an arrangement of the predetermined arrangement mode (arrangement mode)” is obtained.
(B) By changing the rotation start timing for each rotary reel (40), a predetermined arrangement mode or the like is obtained.
(C) A predetermined arrangement mode or the like is set by temporary stop.
(D) By changing the rotation direction of at least some of the rotating reels (40) that are rotating, a predetermined arrangement mode or the like is obtained.
(effect)
According to the gaming machine (10) having the above-described feature (1), the rotating effect control means rotates while being able to be displayed on the display window in a predetermined arrangement manner while the rotating reel is rotating. As described above, the rotation mode of the predetermined rotation reel is changed, and then the plurality of rotation reels are rotated at the same rotation speed while maintaining the predetermined arrangement mode. Thereby, in a some rotary reel, it can arrange so that it may rotate in the state where the predetermined arrangement | positioning aspect was equal, and can expect the expectation of provision of a predetermined profit. After that, the rearrangement control unit changes the rotation mode of the predetermined rotating reel so that the rotating rotating reel is collapsed from the predetermined arrangement mode, and then, the display device that displays the changed layout mode can be displayed on the display window. In this state, a plurality of rotating reels are rotated at the same rotational speed. Thereby, a predetermined arrangement | positioning aspect collapse | crumbles and it does not become assistance of eye-opening. Therefore, even for a player who is skilled in the skill of pressing, the fun of the pressing is not halved and the interest of the game can be improved.

(Feature point)
The gaming machine (10) is characterized by the following points in addition to the characteristic points described in (1) above. That is, the rearrangement control means (180) is a part or all of a plurality of rotating parts after the turning effect by the turning effect control means (170) and before the stop operation by the stop switch (50) becomes possible. When comparing the position of the specific symbol (61a) at a predetermined timing between the rotating reels (40),
The specific symbol is such that the distance from the position of the specific symbol (61a) of the predetermined rotating reel (40) to the position of the specific symbol (61a) of the other rotating reel (40) is at least a predetermined number of symbols. The rotation mode of a part or all of the rotary reels (40) is changed so that the position of (61a) is out of the predetermined arrangement mode (hereinafter referred to as “separation rearrangement”). Thereafter, the plurality of rotating reels (40) are rotated at the same rotational speed while the separated and rearranged ones can be displayed on the display window (13).
Then, the repositioning control means (180) allows the rotating reel (40) to be displayed in the display window (13) in which the position of the specific symbol (61a) of the rotating reel (40) being rotated is rearranged and rearranged. ) Is rotated, and the stop operation by the stop switch (50) is made possible.
In this case as well, the “change in rotation mode” includes the same as that described in claim 1.
(effect)
According to the gaming machine (10) having the characteristics described in (2) above, in addition to the effects described in (2) above, the rearrangement control means can change the position of the specific symbols of the rotating reels between the rotating reels. By setting the state of separation and rearrangement at positions apart by a predetermined number of symbols or more, the predetermined arrangement mode can be reliably broken down to a state where there is no trace.
