Description

The winning combinations include small role winnings that accompany game value such as medals and re-game winnings that allow games to be played without using the gaming value owned by the player. In the event that a bet occurs, the bet amount is automatically set and the next game can be started without the player performing a BET operation in the next game, and at this time, a bet number setting sound is output. what is common.

In order to solve the above-described problem, a slot machine according to claim 1 of the present invention provides:
A variable display section (reels 2L, 2C, 2R) capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information each identifiable ,
After variable display of said variable display unit, the variable display of the variable display unit derives the display result by stopping, in the display result winning in accordance with the possible occurrence slot machine (slot machine 1),
When a re-game prize (re-game player) including a first re-game prize (normal replay) and a second re-game prize (special replay) is generated, the game is played without using the game value (medal). Re-play start enabling means (automatic BET) for enabling start,
Predetermined notification sound output means for outputting a predetermined notification sound (BET sound) when the game can be started by the replay start enabling means (at the time of automatic BET);
A game state transition means for transitioning to the second game state (RT2) when the second re-game winning (special replay) occurs in the first game state (RT0);
When the second re-game win (special replay) occurs in the first game state (RT0) and the game state transition means shifts to the second game state (RT2), a transition sound effect (fanfare) ) Transition effect execution means for executing a transition effect (ART start effect) with an output of
When the second replay prize (special replay) occurs and the game can be started by the replay start enabling means (at the time of automatic BET), the second replay prize (special replay) Predetermined notification sound output restricting means for restricting the output of the predetermined notification sound (BET sound) by the predetermined notification sound output means when the transition effect (ART start effect) is executed by generation;
It is characterized by having.
According to this feature, when the second re-game winning is generated in the first gaming state and the state is shifted to the second gaming state, and the transition effect is executed accordingly, the second re-game winning is obtained. Since the output of the predetermined notification sound that accompanies the start of the game without using the gaming value is restricted due to the occurrence of the occurrence, the transition effect sound output in the transition effect and the predetermined notification sound are incurred. In other words, it is possible to prevent the transition sound effect output in the transition effect from being disturbed by a predetermined notification sound.
Note that the second gaming state may be a gaming state that is advantageous to the player compared to the first gaming state, or a gaming state that is disadvantageous to the player compared to the first gaming state. Further, it may be a gaming state in which the advantage for the player does not change when compared with the first gaming state only in the content of the performance.
Further, the predetermined notification sound may be a notification sound that is output when the game can be started by the occurrence of a re-game winning, and when the bet number is set by the player's bet number setting operation, The same notification sound as the output betting number setting notification sound may be used. In addition, in a configuration in which a game can be started by setting a plurality of bets without using a gaming value due to the occurrence of a re-game winning, a plurality of notification sounds corresponding to the set bets are output. In the case of the alarm, the plurality of notification sounds are combined into one predetermined notification sound.

As shown in FIG. 3, on the outer periphery of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R, “black 7”, “net 7 (shaded 7 in the figure)”, “white 7”, “BAR”, “replay”, A plurality of types of mutually distinguishable symbols such as “plum”, “watermelon”, “cherry”, “bell”, and “orange” are drawn in a predetermined order. The symbols drawn on the outer peripheries of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are displayed in upper, middle, and lower three stages in the see-through window 3 provided at the approximate center of the front door 1b. Of the symbols drawn on the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R, “Replay” and “Plum” are similar colors (blue colors in this embodiment), have similar shapes, and are similar in appearance. It is. On the other hand, “Replay” and “Plum” and the other symbols are not similar in color and shape, and are not similar in appearance.

The front door 1b also displays a credit indicator 11 that displays the number of medals stored as credits, the number of medals paid out due to the occurrence of a prize, an error code indicating the contents when an error occurs, and the like. Game assist indicator 12, 1BETLED14 that notifies that the bet number is set by 1 by lighting, 2BETLED15 that notifies that the bet number is set by 2 and 2 that the bet number is set by 3 3BET LED 16 to notify, insertion request LED 17 to notify that a medal can be inserted by lighting, start effective LED 18 to notify that the game start operation by the operation of the start switch 7 is effective, wait (the previous game start) Waiting for the start of reel rotation because a certain period has not elapsed since Weight in LED19 for notifying by lighting a a is that during the game display unit in replay LED20 is provided for informing is provided by lighting the effect that during replay game, which will be described later.

The main control unit 41, when the rotation of the reels is started, and the reel is stopped, and when there remains still rotating reel, with reference to the table index and data table created is stored in the ROM506 A stop control table is created for each reel that is rotating. When any of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R corresponding to the rotating reel is effectively detected, the stop control table of the corresponding reel is referred to and the slip of the referred stop control table is referred to. Based on the number of frames, control is performed to stop the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R corresponding to the operated stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R.

Further, in this embodiment, a value of 0 to 4 is determined as the number of sliding frames, and it is possible to stop the reel by drawing in a maximum of 4 symbols after detecting a stop operation. In other words, the stop position of the symbol can be designated from a range of a maximum of 5 frames including the stop operation position where the stop operation is detected. In addition, since it is necessary to move one frame to move the reel for one symbol, it is possible to stop the reel by pulling in a maximum of four symbols after detecting the stop operation. The symbol stop position can be designated from a range of up to five symbols including the operation position.

The sub control unit 91, when receiving a specific command from the main control unit 4 1, carries out an effect of the control pattern corresponding to the particular command. For example, when an error command is received, an error notification effect is performed with a control pattern corresponding to the error state, and when a standby command is received, a demonstration effect indicating a standby state is performed.

Even if one of BB1 to BB4, RB1, or RB2 is won in an internal lottery to be described later, if the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are not operated at an appropriate timing to enable winning of these roles, these I won't win a role. The symbols composing BB1 to BB4, RB1, and RB2 (“black 7”, “white 7”, “net 7” ) are arranged within 5 frames in each of the left reel 2L, the middle reel 2C, and the right reel 2R. Because it is not.

As shown in FIG. 3, the promotion replay 1, symbol constructing the promotion replay 2 and normal replay, the left reel 2L, center reel 2C, because it is located within five frames in all of the right reel 2R, the stop operation order Accordingly, the reel control is performed so that the promotion replay 1, the promotion replay 2 or the normal replay always wins regardless of the stop operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R.

As shown in FIG. 3, symbol constructing special replay and tumble replay the left reel 2L, center reel 2C, because it is located within five frames in all of the right reel 2R, depending on the stop operation order, the stop switch Regardless of the stop operation timing of 8L to 8R, reel control is performed so that special replay or fall replay is always won.

As shown in FIG. 3, the configuration symbol of the right-down bell is arranged within 5 frames in all reels, and when the left bell 1 to 4 is elected, when the stop operation is performed by pushing left. Regardless of the timing of the stop operation, the right down bell is always controlled to be aligned with the winning line LN, while the symbols constituting the upper bells 1 to 8 are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or more on all reels. Even if the left bells 1 to 4 are elected, if the stop operation is performed by pressing the middle or right, an appropriate range that will be drawn in the constituent symbols of the elected upper bells 1 to 8 If the stop operation is not performed at the timing, the selected upper bell cannot be aligned with the winning line LN, and in this case, control is performed so that the shift outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

As shown in FIG. 3, the configuration symbol of the middle bell is arranged within 5 frames in all reels, and when the middle bell 1 to 4 is elected, when the stop operation is performed by middle push, Regardless of the timing of the stop operation, the control is always performed so that the middle bell is aligned with the winning line LN, while the symbols constituting the upper bells 1 to 8 are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or more on all reels. Therefore, even if the middle bells 1 to 4 are elected, if the stop operation is performed by pressing left or right, the appropriate timing that will be the drawing range of the constituent symbols of the elected upper bells 1 to 8 If the stop operation is not performed, the winning upper bell cannot be aligned with the winning line LN, and in this case, the control is performed so that the shift outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.
