Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable sub-control means side to control whether or not to execute freeze in a slot machine executing freeze that stops game progress for a prescribed time.SOLUTION: Reel control means performs stop control of a reel so that a specific reel stop mode can appear when a stop switch is operated in a specific operation mode in a game that ends up in a specific lottery result, and performs stop control of the reel so that the specific reel stop mode does not appear when operated in a mode other than the specific operation mode. Notification control means determines whether or not to allow the specific reel stop mode to appear and, when it allows, notifies that the stop switch is to be operated in the specific operation mode in the game that ends up in the specific lottery result. Freeze control means executes freeze on the condition that the stop switch is operated in the specific operation mode when a game next to the game where the specific reel stop mode has appeared ends up in the specific lottery result.

Description

  The present invention relates to a slot machine that executes a freeze for stopping the progress of a game for a predetermined time.

In a conventional slot machine, a slot machine is known in which the progress of a game is stopped for a predetermined time, and during that time, an operation such as a start switch or a stop switch is not accepted, or a freeze that cancels even if accepted.
Such a freeze is used, for example, for the effect of notifying whether or not a special role has been won and whether or not to shift to an ART game or the like.

Here, in the conventional slot machine, there is known a slot machine in which, when a specific combination is won in a lottery of a combination, the probability of occurrence of freeze is higher in a subsequent specific period than in a specific period (Patent Document 1). reference).
In addition, there is a known slot machine in which when a specific symbol combination is displayed in a stopped state, the probability of occurrence of a freeze in a game after the next game differs depending on whether or not a specific role has been won repeatedly (Patent Literature). 2).
Furthermore, in a game where a specific lottery result is obtained in the lottery of the combination, when a specific symbol is stopped at the first stop and the number of sliding symbols is 2 to 4 frames, a freeze is generated and the second stop In a case where a specific symbol is tempered, a slot machine that generates freeze when the number of sliding frames is 2 to 4 frames is known (see Patent Document 3).

  However, when freezing is executed according to the lottery result of the winning combination, the main controlling means side controls both the winning lottery and the freezing, so it is not possible to control whether the freezing is executed on the sub-control means side. .

  Therefore, the problem to be solved by the present invention is to enable the sub-control means to control whether or not the freeze is executed in the slot machine that executes the freeze that stops the progress of the game for a predetermined time.

The present invention solves the above-described problems by the following means. Note that the corresponding embodiment is shown in parentheses.
According to the first aspect of the present invention, a plurality of (three left, middle, and right) reels (31) displaying a plurality of types of symbols and the reels (31) are provided corresponding to the reels, and a game is played when the reels are stopped. A stop switch (42) operated by a person, a role lottery means (61) for lottery including a case where a specific lottery result is obtained, and a reel control means for controlling the reel to stop when the stop switch is operated (64), freeze control means (70) for controlling the freeze for stopping the progress of the game for a predetermined time, and notification control means (82) for controlling notification of the operation mode of the stop switch, the reel control means When the stop switch is operated in a specific operation mode in the game that results in the specific lottery result, the reel is controlled to stop so that a specific reel stop mode can appear, When the stop switch is operated in a game other than the specific operation mode in the game that results in the regular lottery result, the reel is controlled to stop so that the specific reel stop mode does not appear, and the notification control means When it is determined whether or not the appearance of the stop mode is permitted and the appearance of the specific reel stop mode is permitted, in the game that is the result of the specific lottery, the stop switch should be operated in the specific operation mode When the result of the specific lottery is the next game of the game in which the specific reel stop mode appears, the freeze control means is provided that the stop switch is operated in the specific operation mode. , A slot machine that controls to execute freeze and gives a privilege to a player in response to the appearance of the specific reel stop mode A.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect, the specific operation mode is a specific pressing order, and the freeze control means is a game next to the game in which the specific reel stop mode appears, and the specific lottery result In this case, the slot machine is controlled so as to be frozen each time each of the stop switches is operated so as to be in the specific pushing order.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect, the specific operation mode is a specific push order and a specific operation timing, and the freeze control means is a game next to the game in which the specific reel stop mode appears. When the result of the specific lottery is reached, the slot is controlled so that freezing is performed each time the stop switch is operated so that the specific push order and the specific operation timing are reached. Machine.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in any one of the first to third aspects, when the freeze control means is the next game of the game in which the specific reel stop mode appears and the specific lottery result is obtained. The slot machine is characterized by determining whether or not to perform freeze and controlling to perform freeze on the condition that it is decided to perform freeze.

  According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in any one of the first to fourth aspects, in the game having the specific lottery result, the fact that the stop switch should be operated in the specific operation mode is not notified. Nevertheless, when the stop switch is operated in the specific operation mode, even if the specific reel stop mode appears, the slot machine is characterized in that no privilege is given to the player.

(Function)
In the present invention, the winning lottery means performs the winning lottery so as to have a case where a specific lottery result is obtained.
Also, the reel control means controls the reel to stop the reel so that the specific reel stop mode can appear when the stop switch is operated in the specific operation mode in the game having the specific lottery result. Is operated to stop the reels so that the specific reel stop mode does not appear.

Furthermore, the notification control means decides whether or not to allow the appearance of the specific reel stop mode, and when allowing the appearance of the specific reel stop mode, the specific operation of the stop switch in the game that is the specific lottery result. Notify that the operation should be performed in a manner.
Furthermore, the freeze control means executes the freeze on the condition that the stop switch is operated in the specific operation mode when the specific lottery result is obtained in the next game of the game in which the specific reel stop mode appears. Control.
And a privilege is provided with respect to a player according to appearance of a specific reel stop mode.

Here, when the appearance of the specific reel stop mode is permitted, it is notified that the stop switch should be operated in the specific operation mode in the game having the specific lottery result.
On the other hand, when the appearance of the specific reel stop mode is not permitted, the fact that the stop switch should be operated in the specific operation mode is not notified even if the specific lottery result is obtained.
Thus, when the appearance of the specific reel stop mode is permitted, the specific reel stop mode appears by notifying that the stop switch should be operated in the specific operation mode in the game that is the result of the specific lottery. To guide.

Furthermore, when the stop switch is operated in a specific operation mode in a game that has resulted in a specific lottery result, the reels are controlled to stop so that the specific reel stop mode can appear, and the player is notified in response to the appearance of the specific reel stop mode. A privilege is given to it.
Then, a specific lottery result is obtained in the next game of the game in which the specific reel stop mode appears, and when the stop switch is operated in the specific operation mode at this time, the freeze is executed.
For this reason, the execution of the freeze is a notice of the appearance of the specific reel stop mode, and as a result, a notice of the grant of the privilege. Therefore, it is possible to expect the player to give a privilege by executing the freeze.

Further, when the appearance of the specific reel stop mode is permitted, if the specific lottery result is obtained for two games in succession, the possibility of executing the freeze increases.
On the other hand, when the appearance of the specific reel stop mode is not permitted, the possibility of performing the freeze is low even if the specific lottery result is obtained continuously for two games.
Thus, the execution probability of freeze can be made different between when the specific reel stop mode is permitted and when it is not permitted.

The determination as to whether or not to allow the appearance of the specific reel stop mode is not limited to the notification control means, but is performed by, for example, the sub gaming state control means 81 in the embodiment, or other means on the sub control means 80 side. May be.
Further, even when the appearance of the specific reel stop mode is not permitted, when the player operates the stop switch in the specific operation mode in the game that is the result of the specific lottery, the reel control means The reel is stopped and controlled so that a stop mode can appear. That is, the reel control means does not stop the reels so that the specific reel stop mode can appear only when the specific reel stop mode is allowed to appear.

Furthermore, even if the appearance of the specific reel stop mode is permitted, the freeze is not executed if the specific lottery result is not obtained continuously for two games.
Furthermore, even if the result of the specific lottery is given for two consecutive games when the appearance of the specific reel stop mode is permitted, if the player does not follow the notification or misoperates the stop switch, the freeze is executed. do not do.

Then, by controlling the notification of the operation mode of the stop switch, it is possible to control whether or not to operate the stop switch in the specific operation mode in the game that is the specific lottery result. Thereby, it is possible to control whether or not the specific reel stop mode appears, and to control whether or not to perform the freeze.
Therefore, by controlling the notification of the operation mode of the stop switch on the side of the sub-control means, it is possible to control whether or not the freeze is executed on the side of the sub-control means.

(Relationship between the present invention and the embodiment)
In the following embodiment, the “specific lottery result” is “replay A group (third to tenth, eighteenth to twentieth, twenty-third to twenty-sixth replay) or replay C group (first to thirteenth, fifteenth, fifteenth). , The 17th replay) “winning”.
The “specific operation mode” corresponds to “operation timing at which reverse pressing and“ red 7 ”can be stopped and displayed in the display window 11”.

Furthermore, the “specific reel stop mode” corresponds to “stop appearance where“ red 7 ”—“ red 7 ”—“ red 7 ”are aligned on a straight line”.
Further, “determining whether or not to allow the appearance of a specific reel stop mode” corresponds to “special game lottery”, and “when the appearance of a specific reel stop mode is permitted” means “special game in AT game” Equivalent to “medium”.
The “privilege” corresponds to “AT game execution right”.

  According to the present invention, when the appearance of the specific reel stop mode is permitted, the game indicating the result of the specific lottery is notified that the stop switch should be operated in the specific operation mode. When not permitting, even if the result of the specific lottery is obtained, it is not notified that the stop switch should be operated in the specific operation mode.

In addition, when the stop switch is operated in a specific operation mode in a game that has resulted in a specific lottery result, the reels are controlled to stop so that the specific reel stop mode can appear, and the next game after the game in which the specific reel stop mode has appeared When the result of the specific lottery is obtained and the stop switch is operated in a specific operation mode at this time, the freeze is executed.
For this reason, the execution probability of freeze can be made different between when the appearance of the specific reel stop mode is permitted and when it is not permitted.

In addition, by controlling the notification of the operation mode of the stop switch, it is possible to control whether or not the stop switch is operated in the specific operation mode in the game that is the result of the specific lottery, and thus the specific reel stop mode appears. It is possible to control whether or not to execute the freeze.
Therefore, by controlling the notification of the operation mode of the stop switch on the side of the sub-control means, it is possible to control on the side of the sub-control means whether or not the freeze is executed.

  Furthermore, since both the specific lottery result and the specific operation mode are set as freeze execution conditions, it is possible to prevent the freeze from being accidentally executed against the intention of the slot machine 10 side.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
In the slot machine 10 of the following embodiment, medals are used as game media. However, the present invention is not limited to medals and may be game balls or the like.
<First Embodiment>
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an outline of control of the slot machine 10 in the present embodiment. The slot machine 10 includes a main control unit 50 and a sub control unit 80.

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

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

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

  As shown in FIG. 1, on the input side (the left side in FIG. 1) of the main control means 50, a bet switch 40, a start switch 41 (left, Middle, right) Stop switch 42, medal slot 43, and setting change switch 44 are electrically connected.

  The bet switch 40 is a switch operated when the player inserts a stored medal for the game. In the present embodiment, except for the MB game described later, the game is set by inserting three medals and the game is performed by inserting two medals during the MB game. For this reason, when the bet switch 40 is operated except for the MB game, three medals are inserted, and when the bet switch 40 is operated during the MB game, two medals are inserted. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a single bet may be provided.

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

The setting change switch 44 is a switch operated when changing / setting the setting value of the slot machine 10. In the present embodiment, six levels from setting 1 to setting 6 are provided as setting values. Then, the higher the set value, the more advantageous for the player (the higher the payout rate).
The setting change switch 44 is not operated by the player, but is operated on the store (hall) side of the slot machine 10. For this reason, a setting change switch 44 is arranged inside the slot machine 10 so that the player cannot operate it.

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

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

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

  In this specification, the position where “RP1” of the left reel 31, “Bell” of the middle reel 31, and “Cherry A” of the right reel 31 are called “upper” in FIG. The position where the “BAR” of the middle and right reels 31 is stopped is referred to as “middle stage”, “Cherry A” of the left reel 31, “RP2” of the middle reel 31, and “Watermelon” of the right reel 31 are stopped. This position is referred to as a “lower stage”.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, a symbol combination line indicated by a two-dot chain line in the drawing is provided in a portion including the display window 11 of the slot machine 10.
Here, the “symbol combination line” is a line of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped, and is a line that forms a combination of symbols.

In the present embodiment, only the straight line L in the middle in the horizontal direction is set as the symbol combination line. In addition, as described above, in the present embodiment, except for the MB game, the game is set by inserting three medals, and during the MB game, the game is set by inserting two medals. doing. In addition, during the MB game (when 3 cards are inserted) and during the MB game (when 2 cards are inserted), only the symbol combination line L in the middle in the horizontal direction is set to be an effective line.
Here, the “effective line” is a line for winning a winning combination when a combination of symbols corresponding to any of the winning combinations is stopped on that line.

  Note that the symbol combination line is not limited to the horizontal middle straight line L. In addition to this, the horizontal upper straight line, the horizontal lower straight line, the diagonally downward right line, and the diagonally upward right line It may be set. Further, the symbol combination line is not limited to a straight line, and may be a bent line such as “upper stage of the left reel 31” — “upper stage of the middle reel 31” — “lower stage of the right reel 31”. Good. When a plurality of symbol combination lines are set, an effective line and an invalid line can be set according to the number of medals inserted, the gaming state, and the like.

  Here, the “invalid line” is a line that is not set as an active line among the symbol combination lines, and even if the symbol combination corresponding to any symbol is stopped at that line, This is a line that does not give profits (medal payout, etc.) according to. In other words, the invalid line is a line that is not a target for the combination of symbols in the first place.

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

The speaker 22 outputs a predetermined sound when a predetermined condition is satisfied in order to perform various effects during the game.
Furthermore, the image display device 23 displays effect images, game information (for example, the number of stored medals, the number of paid out medals, the number of remaining games of special games, the order of pressing the stop switch 42, etc.), game results, and the like. Is. Examples of the image display device 23 include a liquid crystal display (LCD), a plasma display, an organic electroluminescence (organic EL) display, a dot display, and the like. In the present embodiment, the image display device 23 is configured by a liquid crystal display.

4 to 6 are diagrams showing types of combinations, the number of payouts, and combinations of symbols corresponding to the combinations in the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 4 to FIG. 6, as a combination, a special combination, a replay, and a small combination are provided.
A combination of symbols corresponding to each combination and the number of payouts at the time of winning are determined. As a result, when all the reels 31 are stopped, if a combination of symbols corresponding to any of the combinations stops on the active line, the combination is won, and the number of medals corresponding to the combination is paid out or automatically inserted. (However, special roles are excluded.)

In the present specification, for convenience of explanation, “the combination of symbols corresponding to any combination stops at any valid line” is referred to as “the combination“ wins ””.
In FIGS. 4 to 6, “/” means “or”. For example, “RP1 / RP2 / RP3” in “Replay 01” in FIG. 4 means that any one of “RP1”, “RP2”, or “RP3” only needs to stop at the active line L.

In the combination, first, the special combination is a combination that shifts from the normal game to the special game. In the present embodiment, an MB (middle bonus, also referred to as a second type big bonus (2BB)) is provided as a special combination.
When the MB wins, there is no payout of medals in the game, but the next game shifts to the MB game which is one of the special games.
Other special roles include 1BB (first-type big bonus), RB (regular bonus), and SB (single bonus), which are not provided in this embodiment.

In addition, the replay is a re-game player who can perform a re-game while maintaining the number of medals inserted in the game (automatically inserting medals). In this embodiment, 28 types of replays 01 to 28 are provided as replays, and combinations of predetermined symbols are set for each.
Furthermore, the small combination is a combination in which a predetermined number of medals are paid out. In the present embodiment, bells (32 types of bells 01 to 32), watermelons (three types of watermelons 01 to 03), and specials are provided as small roles, and combinations of predetermined symbols are set respectively.

Further, in FIGS. 4 to 6, a combination marked with “*” can cause a characteristic stop appearance when a corresponding symbol combination stops on the active line L.
In the present embodiment, the replays 10, 17, 21, 23 to 27, and the watermelon 03 are set to a role that allows a characteristic stop appearance to appear.

Specifically, the replay 10 is capable of stopping and displaying “Cherry A” in the lower stage of the left reel 31 when the corresponding symbol combination stops on the active line L.
In addition, the replay 17 is obliquely moved upward to the right when passing through the “lower reel 31”-“middle reel 31 middle”-“right reel 31 upper” when the corresponding symbol combination stops on the active line L. “Cherry A” − “Cherry A / Cherry B” − “Cherry A / Cherry B” can be stopped and displayed on the straight line.
Furthermore, the replay 21 can stop and display “Cherry A” on the middle stage of the left reel 31 when the combination of the corresponding symbols stops on the active line L.

Furthermore, when the corresponding symbol combination is stopped at the effective line L, the replay 23 is arranged in the horizontal middle symbol combination line L and the “upper left reel 31”-“middle reel 31 middle”-“right reel”. “Red 7” − “Red 7” − “Red 7” can be stopped and displayed on both the straight lines in the diagonally downward direction passing through the “lower stage 31”. That is, in the replay 23, three “red 7” s can be arranged in double.
In addition, the replay 24, when the corresponding symbol combination is stopped on the effective line L, is a diagonally downward direction passing through “the upper stage of the left reel 31” — “the middle stage of the middle reel 31” — “the lower stage of the right reel 31”. On the straight line, “red 7”-“red 7”-“red 7” can be stopped and displayed.

Furthermore, when the corresponding symbol combination stops on the effective line L, the replay 25 passes the “upper stage of the left reel 31” — “upper stage of the middle reel 31” — “upper stage of the right reel 31” in the horizontal direction. On the straight line, “red 7”-“red 7”-“red 7” can be stopped and displayed.
Further, when the corresponding symbol combination stops on the effective line L, the replay 26 is in the lower horizontal direction passing through “the lower stage of the left reel 31” — “the lower stage of the middle reel 31” — “the lower stage of the right reel 31”. “Red 7”-“Red 7”-“Red 7” can be stopped and displayed on a straight line.

In addition, when the combination of the corresponding symbols stops on the effective line L, the replay 27 displays the symbol combination line L in the middle in the horizontal direction, and the “upper stage of the left reel 31” — “middle stage of the middle reel 31” — “right reel”. “Red 7” of the right and middle reels 31 can be stopped and displayed on both of the straight lines in the diagonally downward direction passing through the “lower stage” 31. That is, in the replay 27, “Red 7” can be a so-called double template.
Still further, when the combination of the corresponding symbols stops at the effective line L, the watermelon 03 “the upper stage of the left reel 31” — “the middle stage of the left reel 31” — “the lower stage of the middle reel 31” — “the right reel 31”. “Red 7” can be stopped and displayed on a V-shaped line passing through “middle stage”-“upper stage of the right reel 31”.

  Further, in the payout of the small role in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the parentheses indicate the number of payouts during the special game (MB game). For example, in the case of the bell 01, nine payouts are made during the normal game, but two payouts are made during the MB game.

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

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

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

At the start of the game, the player operates the bet switch 40 to insert a previously stored medal, or inserts a medal from the medal insertion slot 43, and operates (turns on) the start switch 41.
When the start switch 41 is operated, a signal generated at that time is input to the main control means 50.

When receiving this signal, the main control means 50 (specifically, the reel control means 64 described later) controls to drive all the motors 32 and rotate all the reels 31.
As the reel 31 is rotated by the motor 32 in this way, the symbols on the reel 31 are moved and displayed in the vertical direction in the display window 11 at a predetermined speed.

Then, the player presses the stop switch 42 to stop the rotation of the reel 31 corresponding to the stop switch 42 (for example, the left reel 31 corresponding to the left stop switch 42).
When the stop switch 42 is operated, a signal generated at that time is input to the main control means 50.

When the main control unit 50 (specifically, a reel control unit 64 described later) receives this signal, the main control unit 50 controls the drive of the motor 32 corresponding to the stop switch 42 and controls the stop of the reel 31 related to the motor 32. I do.
When all the reels 31 are stopped, when the symbol combination corresponding to any of the combinations stops on the active line (that is, when the winning combination of the combination is awarded), the medal corresponding to the winning combination is paid out. Etc. are performed.

  Here, in the present embodiment, the main game state controlled on the main control means 50 side includes a normal game and a special game, the normal game includes an RT game and a non-RT game, and the special game includes an MB game. . In addition, control is performed so that a non-RT game is performed during non-interior and an RT game is performed during internal. Furthermore, AT games and non-AT games are provided as sub game states controlled on the sub control means 80 side.

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

In addition, the main game state in which the winning probability of replay is different from the non-RT game may be referred to as an RT game. In addition, for “replay winning probabilities differ”, the combined value of the winning probabilities for multiple types of replays is the same, but the method for distributing the winning probabilities for each replay is different, or the types of replays to be drawn are different. Including cases. Furthermore, the winning probability of replay in a non-RT game may be set higher than that in an RT game. In this case, the non-RT game is more advantageous to the player than the RT game.
Thus, RT game means, in a narrow sense, a main game state in which a winning probability of replay is set higher than that of non-RT games, and in a broad sense, a main game in which the winning probability of replay is different from that of non-RT games. Means state.

In addition, “AT (assist time) game” includes a case where an advantageous game result can be obtained and a case where an advantageous game result cannot be obtained depending on the pressing order and / or operation timing of the stop switch 42, and a chance during a non-AT game However, during AT games, the player can be notified of the push order and / or operation timing of the stop switch 42 that is advantageous to the player (such as symbols aimed at the effective line). The player can obtain the most advantageous game result by operating the stop switch 42 according to the notification (for example, the most advantageous symbol combination can be stopped on the active line, or the winning combination can be surely confirmed). Can be stopped at the active line).
If an AT game is executed during an RT game, the game becomes an RT game and an AT game (ART game).

Next, a specific configuration of the main control unit 50 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 1, the main control means 50 includes the following set value changing means 60 and the like.
The following units in the present embodiment are examples, and the main control unit 50 is not limited to the units shown in the present embodiment.

The setting value changing means 60 is for changing / determining a setting value that determines the payout rate of the slot machine 10.
In this embodiment, six stages from setting 1 to setting 6 are provided as setting values. The higher the setting value, the higher the AT game execution probability and the higher the play rate. Yes.

In this embodiment, a power switch (not shown) provided on a power supply unit (not shown) is operated to turn off the power once, and then a setting key is inserted into a setting key insertion slot (not shown). If the key switch is turned on by rotating it 90 degrees clockwise and the power is turned on again in this state, the setting change mode is entered. In this case, the startup process is not performed.
It is also possible to insert a setting key into the setting key insertion slot, rotate it 90 degrees clockwise to turn on the key switch, turn off the power once in this state, and then turn on the power again.

In the setting change mode, the setting value changing unit 60 displays the current setting value on a predetermined display unit.
Further, the set value changing means 60 displays the set value every time the setting change switch 44 is operated... → “1” → “2” → “3” → “4” → “5” ”→“ 6 ”→“ 1 ”→“ 2 ”→...

Further, when the start switch 41 is turned on, the set value changing means 60 confirms the set value with the numerical value displayed on the display unit at this time and sets “0” indicating that the set value has been confirmed. Display on the display.
The set value changing unit 60 includes a set value storage unit 60a (memory such as a RAM) for storing the set value, and stores the determined set value in the set value storage unit 60a.

Next, after turning off the power, turn the setting key 90 degrees counterclockwise to turn off the key switch, remove the setting key from the setting key insertion slot, and turn the power on again in this state. The start-up process is performed with the set value after the change.
Turn the setting key 90 degrees counterclockwise to turn off the key switch, remove the setting key from the setting key insertion slot, turn the power off in this state, and then turn the power on again. Good.

As described above, when the setting value is changed, the setting change switch 44 is operated after the setting change mode is set. Then, with the desired set value displayed on the display unit, the start switch 41 is turned on to confirm the set value. After that, when the key switch is turned off and then the power is turned on, the start-up process is performed with the changed set value.
Further, the main control unit 50 transmits the setting value stored in the setting value storage unit 60 a to the sub control unit 80. Then, a setting value is set also on the sub-control means 80 side, and AT game is executed with a probability corresponding to the setting value.

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

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

  The random number extraction means extracts the random number generated by the random number generation means at a predetermined time, in the present embodiment, when the start switch 41 is operated (turned on) by the player. The determination unit determines the combination corresponding to the region to which the random number value belongs by comparing the random number value extracted by the random number extraction unit with a combination lottery table 62 described later. For example, if the extracted random number value belongs to the MB winning area, it is determined as MB winning, and if it belongs to the non-winning area, it is determined as non-winning.

  The role lottery table 62 defines the types of winning combinations (ratio lottery results) and the winning probabilities for each winning combination. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the role lottery table 62 (62A to 62C) in the present embodiment. 8 to 12 are diagrams showing a winning combination, a type of winning combination, and a relationship between a pressing order and a winning combination.

As shown in FIGS. 8-12, in this embodiment, as a winning combination, as a special combination (MB), 27 types of replays of 1st to 27th replay, 56 types of bells of 1st to 56th bell, watermelon , And white 7.
In FIGS. 8 to 12, “+” and “˜” mean duplicate (simultaneous) winning. For example, “Replay 03 + 23 + 26 + 27” in “Third Replay” in FIG. 8 means that four of Replays 03, 23, 26, and 27 are won in the game. That is, four combinations of replays 03, 23, 26, and 27 are assigned to the winning area of the third replay. When the extracted random number value belongs to the winning area of the third replay, it is determined that the four winning combinations of replays 03, 23, 26, and 27 are overlapped.

Similarly, for example, “Bell 01 + 03 to 29” in “First Bell” in FIG. 9 means that 28 of Bell 01 and 03 to 29 are won in the game.
Thus, a plurality of roles may be assigned to one winning area. When the extracted random number value belongs to a winning area to which a plurality of roles are assigned, it is determined that a plurality of roles are overlapped.
In the present embodiment, the special combination and the small combination or replay are not set to be won in duplicate, but the special combination and the small combination or replay may be set to be selected and won.

  The role lottery table 62 is provided for each main game state. Each of the winning lottery tables 62 has a lottery area within a predetermined range. The lottery area is divided into a winning area and a non-winning area for each winning combination, and the winning combinations are set in advance. It is set to a predetermined ratio so as to be a winning probability.

The combination lottery table 62A is a combination lottery table 62 used in non-internal and non-RT games in normal games.
In the winning lottery table 62A, special winning (MB), replay, and small winning areas are set, and non-winning areas are set.

  Specifically, in the part lottery table 62A, the winning area of the MB is generally set to “1/7”, the combined value of the winning area of the replay is set to “1/7”, and the combined value of the winning area of the small part is “1/7”. 5/7 ", respectively. In the replay winning area, the winning areas of the first to 27th replays are respectively set to “1/7 × 1/27”. Similarly, in the winning area of the small role, the winning areas of the first to 56th bells, the watermelon, and the white 7 are set to “5/7 × 1/58”, respectively.

In FIG. 7, the non-winning area of the part lottery table 62A is exaggerated, but actually, in the part lottery table 62A, the non-winning area is set to “1/65536”. It is “0” (it is very rare to be unselected).
For this reason, in a game (non-RT game) in which the role lottery table 62A is used, it is substantially “0” that an MB is won with a relatively high probability, and a small role is frequently won and won.

The combination lottery table 62B is a combination lottery table 62 used in the RT game inside the normal game.
Compared with the combination lottery table 62A, the combination lottery table 62B does not set the winning area for the special combination (MB), and sets the winning area for the replay accordingly. Otherwise, the combination lottery table 62B is the same as the combination lottery table 62A.

Specifically, in the combination lottery table 62B, the combined value of the winning areas for replay is set to “2/7”. Further, in the replay winning area, the winning areas of the first to 27th replays are respectively set to “2/7 × 1/27”.
For this reason, in a game (RT game) in which the role lottery table 62B is used, it is substantially “0” that not only a small role but also a replay is frequently won and not won.

The role lottery table 62C is a role lottery table 62 used in a special game (MB game).
In the combination lottery table 62C, all areas are set as non-winning areas. For this reason, in a game (MB game) in which the winning lottery table 62C is used, the winning lottery result is always non-winning and no winning combination is won.
However, in the MB game, as will be described later, the winning flags 63a of all the small roles are turned on. This is equivalent to winning all types of small roles.
In addition, a lottery of a combination including replay, SB, and RB may be performed during the MB game, and the stop control may be changed according to the result.

Returning to FIG.
The winning flag control means 63 controls the on / off of the winning flag 63a corresponding to each winning, based on the winning lottery result by the winning lottery means 61. In the present embodiment, MB, replays 01 to 28, bells 01 to 32, watermelons 01 to 03, and special winning flags 63a are provided. When winning in the lottery of the combination by the combination lottery means 61, the winning flag 63a of the corresponding combination is turned on (the winning flag 63a is set).

For example, when the third lottery means 61 is won by the winning lottery means 61, the winning flag control means 63 turns on the winning flags 63a of the replay 03, the replay 23, the replay 26, and the replay 27, and the winning flags of the other roles. 63a is left off.
Similarly, when the first bell is won by the winning lottery means 61, the winning flag control means 63 turns on the winning flags 63a of the bell 01 and the bells 03 to 29, and the winning flags 63a of the other roles are off. Leave.

In addition, as described above, since winning of a role other than the special role is not carried over, even if these roles are won in the game and the winning flag 63a of these roles is turned on, the winning is not performed at the end of the game. The winning flag 63a is turned off.
On the other hand, since the winning of the special role is carried over, when the special role is won in the game and the winning flag 63a of the selected special role is turned on, the ON state is maintained until the special role is won. And is turned off when the special role wins.

For example, when the MB is won in the game, the winning flag control means 63 turns on the MB winning flag 63a, and when the MB is not won in the game, the MB winning flag 63a is turned on. maintain. When the first game is won in the next game (inside game of MB), the winning flag 63a of the bells 01 and 03 to 29 is turned on in addition to the winning flag 63a of the MB that is already on. When the game is not completed and no winning is made, the MB winning flag 63a is kept on and the winning flags 63a of the bell 01 and 03-29 are turned off.
Thus, the number of winning flags 63a that are turned on is not limited to one.

  Also, during MB game, as described above, the winning lottery result is always non-winning and no winning combination is won, but the winning flag control means 63 is provided with 32 types of bells (bells 01 to 32). ), Watermelons (three types of watermelons 01 to 03), and all special small roles winning flags 63a are turned on. As a result, during the MB game, a state equivalent to winning all types of small roles is obtained.

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

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

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

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

  Here, “within the range of stop control of the reel 31” means the time from the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated until the reel 31 actually stops or the amount of rotation of the reel 31 (the number of moving frames (patterns)). Means within range.

  In the present embodiment, for all reels 31 in non-MB games and in the middle and right reels 31, the time from when the stop switch 42 is operated until the reels 31 are stopped is set within 190 ms. Yes. Thereby, in the present embodiment, the maximum number of moving frames from the symbol at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated until the reel 31 stops becomes four frames.

  On the other hand, for the left reel 31 in the MB game, the time from when the stop switch 42 is operated until the reel 31 is stopped is set within 75 ms. Thereby, in this embodiment, the maximum number of moving frames from the design at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated until the reel 31 stops becomes one frame.

  At the moment when the operation of the stop switch 42 is detected, when any of the symbols within the range of the stop control of the reel 31 is a symbol to be stopped at a predetermined effective line, when the stop switch 42 is operated In addition, the design is controlled to stop at a predetermined effective line.

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

  On the other hand, if the reel 31 is stopped immediately at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated, the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination that has not been won stops on any of the effective lines, the reel 31 is stopped. Sometimes, the reel 31 is controlled to rotate and move within the range of stop control of the reel 31 so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination is not stopped on the effective line (kicking stop control).

Further, the reel control means 64 includes a push order detecting means 64a for detecting the push order (operation order) of the stop switch 42. The push order detecting means 64a detects which one of the left, middle and right stop switches 42 is operated when the stop switch 42 is operated by the player.
When the stop switch 42 is operated, a signal indicating that the stop switch 42 has been operated is input to the push order detecting means 64a. By discriminating this signal, the push order detecting means 64a detects which stop switch 42 is operated.

Here, in the present embodiment, the pressing order of the stop switch 42 includes the left middle right, left and right middle, middle left and right, middle right left, right left middle, and right middle left.
The left / right / right / left push order is called “forward push”, the left / right / middle push order is called “order pinch”, the right / left / left push order is called “reverse push”, and the right / left / right push order is “ This is called “reverse pinching”.
The pushing order (left middle right and left / right middle) in which the left stop switch 42 is operated first is referred to as “first left stop”, and the pushing order (middle left / right, and (Middle right / left) is referred to as “middle first stop”, and the push order (right middle left and right middle left) in which the right stop switch 42 is operated first is referred to as “right first stop”.
Further, the pressing order (middle left / right, middle right / left, right / left middle, and right / middle left) operated first except for the left stop switch 42 is referred to as “anomalous push”.

  The stop position determination table 65 is provided for each on / off state of the winning flag 63a, that is, for each lottery result of the combination by the combination lottery means 61, and the reel 31 at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated. The stop position of the reel 31 with respect to the position is determined. In each stop position determination table 65, for example, when the stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when the first symbol (“RP3” in the case of the left reel 31) passes through the upper stage (middle stage or lower stage is acceptable). The stop position is determined in advance such that the number of symbols is controlled to move and the number of symbols is stopped in the upper stage.

The stop position determination table 65 includes the following tables.
The MB table is used when only the MB winning flag 63a is ON (when the MB is won in the non-internal middle game, or when the combination is not won in the internal medium game), and the stop control of the reel 31 is performed. Within the range, the combination of symbols corresponding to MB is stopped on the effective line, and when the combination of symbols corresponding to MB cannot be stopped on the effective line, the combination of symbols corresponding to any role is the effective line. The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so as not to stop.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the combination of symbols corresponding to the MB is set to “White 7” − “RP2” − “Cherry B”. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, only one “white 7” on the left reel 31, “RP2” on the middle reel 31, and “cherry B” on the right reel 31 are provided. That is, only one symbol constituting the MB is provided for each reel 31. Therefore, the player cannot stop the combination of symbols corresponding to the MB on the effective line L unless he / she presses each symbol constituting the MB to stop on the effective line L.

  The first replay table is used when only the winning flag 63a of the replay 01 is on (when the first replay is won in the non-internal middle game) and corresponds to the replay 01 within the range of the stop control of the reel 31. The combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped is determined so that the combination of symbols to be stopped is stopped on the effective line and the combination of symbols corresponding to the role other than the replay 01 is not stopped on the effective line.

As shown in FIG. 4, the symbol combination corresponding to the replay 01 is set to “RP1 / RP2 / RP3” − “RP1 / RP2 / RP3” − “RP1 / RP2 / RP3”.
Here, as shown in FIG. 2, “RP1”, “RP2”, or “RP3” is arranged at intervals within 5 symbols in all the reels 31.

As a result, the reel control means 64 always places “RP1”, “RP2” on the effective line L within the range of the stop control of the reel 31 regardless of which moment the stop switch 42 is operated. ”Or“ RP3 ”can be stopped.
Therefore, when the first replay is won in the non-internal middle game and only the winning flag 63a of the replay 01 is turned on, the reel control means 64 always displays “RP1 /” corresponding to the replay 01 on the active line L. The combination of symbols “RP2 / RP3” − “RP1 / RP2 / RP3” − “RP1 / RP2 / RP3” can be stopped.

It should be noted that, regardless of the position of the reel 31 at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated, the target symbol can always be stopped on the effective line (the symbol can be drawn to a position on the effective line). PB (retraction rate) = 1 ”.
And when “PB = 1”, it usually indicates that role, that is, all the reels 31 are like that, but in rare cases, if it is like that for a specific reel, The reel may be referred to as “PB = 1”.
Note that “PB = 1” is not “PB = 1”.

Next, a case where a plurality of winning flags 63a are on will be described.
When the second to twenty-seventh replays are won in the non-internal game, the replay overlap wins shown in the “type of role” column of FIGS. 8 to 9 are selected, and these winning flags 63a are turned on.
The second to twenty-seventh replay tables are used when the second to twenty-seventh replays are won in the non-internal game.

  The second replay table is used when the second replay (replay 01 + 02) is won in the non-internal game and the winning flag 63a of the replays 01 and 02 is turned on. The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that 02 (PB = 1) is always won and the replay 01 (PB = 1) is always awarded when the irregular push is performed.

  Thus, in a game in which the second replay table is used, one of the replays always wins regardless of the pressing order of the stop switch 42. When any replay wins, replay can be performed.

  When Replay 02 wins, “Bell”-“Bell” is placed on a straight line in a diagonally downward direction passing through “upper left reel 31” − “middle reel 31 middle” − “lower reel 31 lower”. -"Bell" stops. At this time, the same medal payout sound as that when the bell 01 wins is output from the speaker 22. In addition, after the replay 02 is won, the freeze is executed for a predetermined time before performing the automatic insertion process related to the replay. Further, on the condition that the bet switch 40 is operated during the execution of the freeze, the freeze that is being executed is terminated (cancelled) halfway, and an automatic insertion process related to re-game is performed. At this time, the same insertion sound as when a medal is inserted is output from the speaker 22 and the lamp 21 indicating the number of inserted medals is turned on. This makes it appear to the player as if "Bell" has won the prize.

  The third replay table is used when the third replay (replay 03 + 23 + 26 + 27) is won in the non-internal game and the winning flag 63a of the replays 03, 23, 26, and 27 is turned on. As shown, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined.

First, at the time of left or middle first stop, replay 03 (PB = 1) is always won.
Further, when the reverse play is performed, priority is given to winning the replay 26 (PB ≠ 1) within the range of the stop control of the reel 31. When the replay 26 is not won, the replay 27 (PB ≠ 1) or the replay 03 (PB = 1).
Furthermore, when reverse-pinching, priority is given to winning the replay 27 (PB ≠ 1) within the range of the stop control of the reel 31, and when the replay 27 is not won, the replay 03 (PB = 1) is won.

  The fourth replay table is used when the fourth replay (replay 04 + 24 + 25 + 27) is won in the non-internal game and the winning flags 63a of the replays 04, 24, 25, and 27 are turned on. As shown, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined.

First, at the left or middle first stop, replay 04 (PB = 1) is always awarded.
Further, when the reverse play is performed, priority is given to winning the replay 24 (PB ≠ 1) within the range of the stop control of the reel 31. When the replay 24 is not won, the replay 27 (PB ≠ 1) or the replay 04 (PB = 1).
Furthermore, when reverse-pinching, priority is given to winning the replay 27 (PB ≠ 1) within the range of the stop control of the reel 31, and when the replay 27 is not won, the replay 04 (PB = 1) is won.

  The fifth to tenth and eighteenth to twenty-seventh replay tables are the same as the third and fourth replay tables. In games using the fifth to tenth and eighteenth to twenty-seventh replay tables, the relationship between the push order of the stop switch 42 and the type of replay to be won is shown in FIG. 8 to FIG. It is as shown in the “Relationship with role” column. Further, when a replay of “PB ≠ 1” is not won, another replay of “PB ≠ 1” or a replay of “PB = 1” is also awarded in the same manner as the third and fourth replay tables.

  The eleventh replay table was elected to the eleventh replay (replay 10 + 11 + 12 + 13 + 14 + 15 + 24 + 26 + 27) in the non-internal game, and the winning flag 63a of the replays 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 24, 26, and 27 was turned on. Sometimes used, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined as shown below.

First, in the first left stop, priority is given to winning the replay 10 (PB ≠ 1) within the range of the stop control of the reel 31, and when the replay 10 is not winning, the replay 14 (PB = 1) is won. .
Further, at the time of the first middle stop, the replay 14 (PB = 1) is always awarded.

Furthermore, when the reverse play is performed, priority is given to winning the replay 24 (PB ≠ 1) within the range of the stop control of the reel 31. When the replay 24 is not won, the replay 27 (PB ≠ 1) or the replay 14 ( PB = 1) is won.
Further, when reverse-pinching, priority is given to winning the replay 27 (PB ≠ 1) within the range of the stop control of the reel 31, and when the replay 27 is not won, the replay 14 (PB = 1) is won.

  The twelfth replay table wins the twelfth replay (replay 10 + 11 + 12 + 13 + 14 + 15 + 16 + 24 + 26 + 27) in the non-internal game, and the winning flag 63a of the replays 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 24, 26, and 27 is turned on. The stop position of the reel 31 is determined as shown below.

First, in the first left stop, priority is given to winning the replay 10 (PB ≠ 1) within the range of the stop control of the reel 31, and when the replay 10 is not winning, the replay 14 (PB = 1) is won. .
Further, at the time of the first middle stop, the replay 14 (PB = 1) is always awarded.

Furthermore, when the reverse play is performed, priority is given to winning the replay 26 (PB ≠ 1) within the range of the stop control of the reel 31. When the replay 26 is not won, the replay 27 (PB ≠ 1) or the replay 14 ( PB = 1) is won.
Further, when reverse-pinching, priority is given to winning the replay 27 (PB ≠ 1) within the range of the stop control of the reel 31, and when the replay 27 is not won, the replay 14 (PB = 1) is won.

  The 13th to 17th replay tables are the same as the 11th and 12th replay tables. Further, in a game in which the thirteenth to seventeenth replay tables are used, the relationship between the pressing order of the stop switch 42 and the type of replay to win is as shown in the column “Relationship between pressing order and winning combination” in FIG. It is. Further, when a replay of “PB ≠ 1” is not won, another replay of “PB ≠ 1” or a replay of “PB = 1” is also awarded in the same manner as in the eleventh and twelfth replay tables.

  As described above, when the first to twenty-seventh replays are won, regardless of the order in which the stop switch 42 is pressed, one of the replays always wins. When any replay wins, replay can be performed.

However, in the present embodiment, in the game in which the second to the twenty-seventh replay tables are used, the type of replay to be won differs depending on the pressing order of the stop switch 42.
Here, as shown in FIGS. 8 to 9, the replay is roughly divided into four groups of a replay A group and a replay D group.

The replay group A is a group of replays in which the replays 23 to 26 can receive a prize and "red 7"-"red 7"-"red 7" can be stopped and displayed when reversely pressed. The replay A group includes the 3rd to 10th, 18th to 20th, and 23rd to 26th replays.
Further, the replay group B is a group of replays in which “red 7” − “red 7” − “red 7” cannot be stopped and displayed even when operated by reverse pressing. The replay group B includes the first, second, twenty-first, twenty-second, and twenty-seventh replays.

  Furthermore, in the replay C group, at the time of the first stop on the left, the replays 10, 17 or 21 can be awarded, and “Cherry A” can be stopped and displayed on the middle or lower part of the left reel 31 or “ "Cherry A"-"Cherry A / Cherry B"-"Cherry A / Cherry B" can be stopped and displayed, and at the time of reverse pressing, any of Replays 23 to 26 can win a prize, and "Red 7"- “Red 7”-“Red 7” is a group of replays that can be stopped and displayed. The replay C group includes the 11th to 13th, 15th and 17th replays.

  Furthermore, in the replay D group, when the first left stop is performed, the replay 10 or 21 can be won, and “Cherry A” can be stopped and displayed on the middle or lower stage of the left reel 31, but it can be operated by reverse pressing. However, “red 7”-“red 7”-“red 7” is a group of replays that cannot be stopped and displayed. The 14th and 16th replays belong to the replay D group.

When the first to 56th bells are won in the non-internal game, the winning combination of the bells shown in the “type of role” column of FIGS. 9 to 12 is made, and these winning flags 63a are turned on.
The 1st to 56th bell tables are used when the 1st to 56th bells are won in a non-internal game.

The first bell table is used when the first bell (Bell 01 + 03 to 29) is won in a non-internal game, and the winning flag 63a of Bell 01 and 03 to 29 is turned on. As shown, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined.
First, at the time of the first stop at the left, the bell 01 (PB = 1) is always awarded.
Further, at the time of irregular pressing, any of the bells 03 to 29 (all PB ≠ 1) is won within the range of the stop control of the reel 31.

Here, in the bell 01, the payout of medals at the time of winning is set to nine.
On the other hand, in each of the bells 03 to 29, the payout of medals at the time of winning is set to one.
As described above, in a game in which the first bell table is used, the type of bell to be drawn into the active line L, the pull-in rate, and the number of medals to be paid out at the winning are different depending on the pressing order of the stop switch 42.

  The second bell table wins the second bell (bell 01 + 03 + 04 + 13 + 14 + 21 + 23 + 30) in a non-internal game, and the winning flag 63a of the bells 01, 03, 04, 13, 14, 21, 23, and 30 is turned on. The stop position of the reel 31 is determined as shown below.

First, when the pressing order is middle left and right, the bell 01 (PB = 1) is always awarded.
When the pressing order is middle right and left, the bell 30 (PB = 1) is always awarded.
Furthermore, at the time of the first left stop, the bell 03 or 04 (both PB ≠ 1) is won within the range of the stop control of the reel 31.
Further, at the time of the first stop on the right, the bell 03 or 21 (both PB ≠ 1) is won within the range of the stop control of the reel 31.

Here, although both the bells 01 and 30 are set to “PB = 1”, the payout of medals at the time of winning a prize is set to 9 bells, whereas the bell 30 is 1 Is set.
The bells 03, 04, and 21 are all set to “PB ≠ 1”, and the payout of medals at the time of winning is set to one.
As described above, in the game using the second bell table, the type of the bell drawn into the active line L, the pull-in rate, and the number of medals paid out at the winning are different depending on the pressing order of the stop switch 42.

  The third to tenth bell tables are the same as the second bell table. In a game in which the third to tenth bell tables are used, the relationship between the pressing order of the stop switch 42 and the types of bells to win is as shown in the column “Relationship between pressing order and winning combination” in FIG. . That is, when the push order is middle left and right, “PB = 1” bell 01 (9 payouts) wins, and when the push order is middle right and left, “PB = 1” bell 30 (1 payout) wins. In the first stop on the left or right, the bell “PB ≠ 1” (single payout) can be won.

The eleventh bell table won the eleventh bell (bell 01 + 03 + 04 + 13 + 14 + 21 + 23 + 30 + 32) in the non-inside game, and the winning flags 63a of bells 01, 03, 04, 13, 14, 21, 23, 30, and 32 were turned on. Sometimes used.
The eleventh bell table wins the bell 01 (9 payouts) of “PB = 1” when the pushing order is middle right and left, and the bell 30 (1) of “PB = 1” when the pushing order is middle left and right. (Piece Dispensing) is awarded, and when the first stop on the left is “PB ≠ 1” Bell 03 or 04 (single payout) is possible, and at the first right stop is Bell “PB ≠ 1” 03 or 21 (1 sheet) The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that a payout) can be won.

As described above, even in a game in which the eleventh bell table is used, the type of bell to be drawn into the active line L, the pull-in rate, and the number of medals to be paid out are different depending on the pressing order of the stop switch 42.
The 12th to 19th bell tables are the same as the 11th bell table. In a game in which the 12th to 19th bell tables are used, the relationship between the pressing order of the stop switch 42 and the type of the winning bell is shown in the column “Relationship between pressing order and winning combination” in FIGS. 9 to 10. Street. That is, when the pressing order is middle right and left, "PB = 1" Bell 01 (9 sheets payout) wins, and when the pressing order is middle right and left, "PB = 1" Bell 30 (1 sheet payout) wins In the first stop on the left or right, the bell “PB ≠ 1” (single payout) can be won.

The 20th bell table won the 20th bell (Bell 01 + 03 + 06 + 15 + 18 + 21 + 27 + 31) in a non-internal game, and when the winning flags 63a of the bells 01, 03, 06, 15, 18, 21, 27, and 31 were turned on. Used.
This 20th bell table wins a bell 01 (9 payouts) with “PB = 1” when reversed, and wins a bell 31 (1 payout) with “PB = 1” when reversely pushed. When stopping, make it possible to win the bell 03 or 06 (single payout) of “PB ≠ 1”, and make it possible to win the bell 03 or 21 (single payout) of “PB ≠ 1” during the first stop. The stop position of the reel 31 is determined.

As described above, even in a game in which the 20th bell table is used, the type of bell to be drawn into the active line L, the pull-in rate, and the number of medals to be paid out at the winning are different depending on the pressing order of the stop switch 42.
The 21st to 28th bell tables are the same as the 20th bell table. In a game in which the 21st to 28th bell tables are used, the relationship between the pressing order of the stop switch 42 and the type of the winning bell is shown in the column “Relationship between pressing order and winning combination” in FIGS. 10 to 11. Street. That is, “PB = 1” bell 01 (9 sheets payout) wins when reversely pinched, “PB = 1” bell 31 (1 sheet payout) wins when pressed backward, and “PB = 1” bell 31 (1 sheet payout) A bell (1 payout) of “PB ≠ 1” can be won.

The 29th bell table was elected to the 29th bell (bell 01 + 03 + 06 + 15 + 18 + 21 + 27 + 31 + 32) in a non-internal game, and the winning flags 63a of bells 01, 03, 06, 15, 18, 21, 27, 31, and 32 were turned on. Sometimes used.
This 29th bell table wins "PB = 1" bell 01 (9 payouts) when pressed backward, and wins "PB = 1" bell 31 (1 payout) when reversely pinched. When stopping, make it possible to win the bell 03 or 06 (single payout) of “PB ≠ 1”, and make it possible to win the bell 03 or 21 (single payout) of “PB ≠ 1” during the first stop. The stop position of the reel 31 is determined.

As described above, even in a game in which the 29th bell table is used, the type of bell to be drawn into the active line L, the pull-in rate, and the number of medals to be paid out at the winning are different depending on the pressing order of the stop switch 42.
The 30th to 37th bell tables are the same as the 29th bell table. In a game in which the 30th to 37th bell tables are used, the relationship between the pressing order of the stop switch 42 and the type of bell to win is as shown in the column “Relationship between pressing order and winning combination” in FIG. . That is, “PB = 1” bell 01 (9 payouts) wins when reversely pressed, “PB = 1” bell 31 (1 payout) wins when reversely pinched, A bell (1 payout) of “PB ≠ 1” can be won.

The 38th bell table is used when the 38th bell (Bell 02 to 29) is won in the non-inside game and the winning flag 63a of the bell 02 to 29 is turned on.
This 38th bell table makes a winning of the bell 02 (3 payouts) of “PB = 1” at the first stop on the left, and makes it possible to win any of the bells 03 to 29 of “PB ≠ 1” when pressing irregularly. Thus, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined.

The 39th bell table is used when the 39th bell (Bell 02 + 03 + 04 + 13 + 14 + 21 + 23) is won in the non-internal game and the winning flags 63a of the bells 02, 03, 04, 13, 14, 21, and 23 are turned on. .
This 39th bell table wins the bell 02 (three payouts) of “PB = 1” at the middle first stop, and the bell 03 or 04 (1 payout) of “PB ≠ 1” at the first left stop. The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that a winning can be made and the bell 03 or 21 (one payout) of “PB ≠ 1” can be won at the first stop on the right.
As described above, even in a game in which the 39th bell table is used, the type of bell to be drawn into the active line L, the pull-in rate, and the number of medals to be paid out at the winning are different depending on the pressing order of the stop switch 42.

  The 40th to 47th bell tables are the same as the 39th bell table. In a game in which the 40th to 47th bell tables are used, the relationship between the pressing order of the stop switch 42 and the type of the winning bell is shown in the column “Relationship between pressing order and winning combination” in FIGS. Street. That is, the bell 02 (three payouts) with “PB = 1” wins during the middle first stop, and the bell (1 payout) with “PB ≠ 1” can win at the first left or right stop.

The 48th bell table is used when the 48th bell (bell 02 + 03 + 06 + 15 + 18 + 21 + 27) is won in a non-internal game and the winning flags 63a of bells 02, 03, 06, 15, 18, 21, and 27 are turned on. .
This 48th bell table wins the bell 02 (3 payouts) of “PB = 1” at the right first stop, and the bell 03 or 06 (1 payout) of “PB ≠ 1” at the first left stop. The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that a winning can be made and the bell 03 or 21 (one payout) of “PB ≠ 1” can be won at the time of the first stop.
As described above, even in a game in which the 48th bell table is used, the type of bell to be drawn into the active line L, the pull-in rate, and the number of medals to be paid out at the winning are different depending on the pressing order of the stop switch 42.

  The 49th to 56th bell tables are the same as the 48th bell table. In a game in which the 49th to 56th bell tables are used, the relationship between the pressing order of the stop switch 42 and the type of bell to win is as shown in the column “Relationship between pressing order and winning combination” in FIG. . That is, when the first stop is on the right, the bell 02 (3 payouts) of “PB = 1” wins, and when the first stop is on the left or inside, the bell (1 payout) of “PB ≠ 1” Winning is possible.

As described above, when the first to 56th bells are won, the type of the bell drawn into the active line L, the pull-in rate, and the number of medals to be paid out at the winning are different depending on the pressing order of the stop switch 42.
That is, when the first to 56th bells are won, the reel control means 64 can appear in a reel stop mode in which the player receives different benefits according to the order in which the stop switch 42 is pressed (can be awarded for a different payout number). The reel 31 is controlled to stop.

The first to 56th bells are referred to as “push order bells”.
In addition, a pushing order that allows a reel stop mode with a large profit received by the player to appear (a winning combination with a large number of payouts can be awarded) is called “correct answer pushing order”. "
Furthermore, operating the stop switch 42 in the correct answer push order is called “push order correct answer” or “correct answer in push order”, and operating the stop switch 42 in the incorrect answer push order is called “push order incorrect answer”. .
Then, the reel control means 64 controls the reel 31 to stop when the correct answer in the pressing order is such that a reel stop mode in which the player receives a profit that is greater than in the incorrect answer in the pressing order can appear.

In the present embodiment, when the first bell is won, the first left stop corresponds to the correct answer pressing order, and the rest corresponds to the incorrect answer pressing order.
When the second to tenth bells are won, the middle and left and right correspond to the correct answer pressing order, and the other corresponds to the incorrect answer pressing order.
Furthermore, when the 11th to 19th bells are won, the middle right and left correspond to the correct answer pressing order, and the other corresponds to the incorrect answer pressing order.

Furthermore, when the 20th to 28th bells are won, reverse pinching corresponds to the correct answer pressing order, and the rest corresponds to the incorrect answer pressing order.
Further, when the 29th to 37th bells are won, reverse pressing corresponds to the correct answer pressing order, and the rest corresponds to the incorrect answer pressing order.
Furthermore, when the 38th bell is won, the first left stop corresponds to the correct answer pressing order, and the rest corresponds to the incorrect answer pressing order.

Further, when the 39th to 47th bells are won, the middle first stop corresponds to the correct answer pressing order, and the rest corresponds to the incorrect answer pressing order.
When the 48th to 56th bells are won, the right first stop corresponds to the correct answer pressing order, and the rest corresponds to the incorrect answer pressing order.
In the present embodiment, the first left stop is in the correct answer pressing order when the first or 38th bell is won, but in the incorrect answer pressing order in other bell wins. For this reason, in the present embodiment, the bell hardly wins while playing the game in the first left stop.

When the watermelon is won in the non-internal game, as shown in FIG. 12, the watermelons 01 to 03 are overlapped and the winning flag 63a is turned on. In this case, a watermelon table is used.
The watermelon table allows winning of “PB ≠ 1” watermelon 03 (4 payouts, 5 “red 7” aligned in a V-shape), and otherwise “PB ≠ 1” watermelon The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that 01 (four-sheet payout) can be won.

Also, when the white 7 is won in the non-internal game, as shown in FIG. 12, the special, bell 32, and watermelons 01 to 03 are won and the winning flag 63a is turned on. In this case, a white 7 table is used.
The white 7 table makes it possible to win a special “PB ≠ 1” (7 payouts, 3 “white 7” s are aligned on the active line L) at the first stop on the left, and “PB ≠ 1” otherwise. The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the watermelon 01 (four-sheet payout) can be awarded.

When all the winning flags 63a are off, the non-winning table is used.
The non-winning table is used when all the winning flags 63a are off (that is, at the time of non-winning of the combination in the non-internal middle game) so that the combination of symbols corresponding to any combination does not stop on the active line. The combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped is determined. Accordingly, the non-winning table is not used in the internal game of the MB, and is not used in the MB game in which the winning flag 63a of all the small roles is turned on.

  In addition, when a small role or replay is won in a game inside the MB, the winning flags 63a of both the MB and the small role or replay are turned on. At this time, the stop position determination table 65 that gives priority to the winning combination of the winning combination or replay in the game is used.

  For example, when the first bell is won in an internal game of MB, in addition to the MB winning flag 63a, the bell 01 corresponding to the first bell and the winning flags 63a of the bells 03 to 29 are turned on. At this time, priority is given to stopping the combination of symbols corresponding to bell 01 and any of bells 03 to 29 on the effective line, and the combination of symbols corresponding to these cannot be stopped on the effective line Next, control is performed so that the combination of symbols corresponding to MB is stopped on the active line. Furthermore, when the symbol combination corresponding to MB cannot be stopped on the effective line, control is performed so that the symbol combination corresponding to any combination is not stopped on the effective line.

Here, in the present embodiment, when any of the first to 56th bells, watermelon, or white 7 wins in the MB inside game, the first stop is left, middle, or right. Even so, the symbols that make up the small combination always stop on the effective line L, and the symbols that make up the MB never stop on the effective line L. Therefore, MB will not win.
Similarly, when one of the 1st to 27th replays is won in a game inside the MB, the replay always wins and the MB never wins regardless of the pressing order of the stop switch 42.

In addition, as described above, when a winning combination is not won in the inside game of the MB, the MB table is used and the MB can be won. However, the probability that the MB inside game will not be won in the lottery of the combination is set to “1/65536”. The combination of symbols corresponding to MB is “White 7” − “RP2” − “Cherry B”, but “White 7” of the left reel 31, “RP2” of the middle reel 31, and the right reel 31 Only “cherry B” is arranged one by one. That is, only one symbol constituting the MB is arranged on the corresponding reel 31. Therefore, it is extremely rare for an MB to win a prize and shift to an MB game in an internal game of the MB.
As described above, in the present embodiment, after winning an MB in a non-internal middle game and shifting to the internal medium game of the MB without being able to win the MB in the game, the internal medium game of the MB is substantially achieved. Will continue to stay in.

Returning to FIG.
The stop symbol determination means 66 determines whether or not the symbol combination of the reel 31 stopped on the effective line matches the symbol combination corresponding to any combination when the reel 31 is stopped. The stop symbol determining means 66 determines a symbol on the active line by detecting, for example, the angle at which the motor 32 is stopped or the number of steps.
However, when the stop switch 42 is operated and the stop position is determined using the stop position determination table 65, the stop symbol determination means 66 determines the stop symbol regardless of whether or not the reel 31 has stopped. It is possible.

  The payout means 67 determines that the combination of symbols stopped on the active line when the reel 31 is stopped matches the combination of symbols corresponding to any of the combinations by the stop symbol determination unit 66 and the winning combination is won. In addition, a predetermined number of medals are paid out to the player in accordance with the winning combination, or processing such as credit addition is performed. Also, when winning a replay, control is performed so that the number of medals inserted in the game (three) is automatically inserted without paying out medals.

The special game control means 68 controls the start of the special game, the progress of the game during the special game, and the end of the special game.
When the combination of symbols corresponding to the MB is stopped on the active line, the MB is won, and the special game control means 68 controls to start the MB game from the next game.

During the MB game, the middle and right reels 31 are controlled to stop within 190 ms (the maximum number of moving frames is 4) as in the non-MB game. In contrast, the left reel 31 is controlled to stop within 75 ms (the maximum number of moving frames is one frame).
In addition, during MB games, a lottery for a combination is performed using the combination lottery table 62C. For this reason, the lottery result of the combination is always non-winning. However, the winning flags 63a of all the small combinations are turned on every game. This is equivalent to the state where all the small roles are won.

In the present embodiment, during the MB game, Bell 01 or 02 (both are paid out) frequently wins.
Here, in this embodiment, during the MB game, two medals are inserted, but the bell 01 or 02 frequently wins, and almost every game, two medals are paid out. For this reason, during the MB game, almost every game, two coins are paid out, and the game state is maintained (the medal is not increased or decreased).

In the present embodiment, the MB game end condition is set such that the number of medals paid out during the MB game is 44 or more.
For this reason, the special game control means 68 continues to count the number of medals paid out during the MB game, and when it is determined that the count value has reached 44 or more, the special game control means 68 controls to end the MB game with the game.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the main game state includes a normal game and a special game, the normal game includes an RT game and a non-RT game, and the special game includes an MB game. The main game state control means 69 controls the transition of the main game state. FIG. 16 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the main game state. The main game state control means 69 controls to shift the main game state based on the winning of the special role (MB), the winning of the special role (MB), and the number of medals paid out during the special game (MB game). To do.

First, the main game state control means 69 performs control so that it is a non-RT game during non-inside. Also, in non-internal and non-RT games, MB lottery is performed.
Then, when the MB is won in the non-internal and non-RT game, and the winning MB is not won in the game, the main game state control means 69 changes the main game state to the internal and RT game from the next game. Control to shift to.

  On the other hand, when the MB is won in the non-internal and non-RT game, and the selected MB wins in the game, the main game state control means 69 shifts the main game state from the next game to the MB game. Control. That is, a transition is made from a non-internal and non-RT game to an MB game without going through an internal and RT game.

Further, the main game state control means 69 controls to continue the RT game in the inside until the MB wins when the game moves to the RT game inside. When the MB is won in the inside and in the RT game, the main game state control means 69 controls to shift the main game state from the next game to the MB game.
Furthermore, the main game state control means 69 controls to continue the MB game until the number of medals paid out during the MB game reaches a predetermined number (44) or more. When the number of medals paid out during the MB game is equal to or greater than the predetermined number, the main game state control means 69 controls to shift from the next game to the non-internal and non-RT game from the next game.

As described above, in the present embodiment, it is extremely rare that an MB wins in the interior and in the RT game. For this reason, after winning an MB in a non-internal and non-RT game and being able to win an MB in the game without moving to the internal or RT game, the user is essentially staying in the internal and RT game. Will continue.
As described above, the main game state control means 69 determines whether or not the main game state transition condition is satisfied in each main game state, and when determining that the main game state transition condition is satisfied, Control is performed so as to shift to a predetermined main game state.

Returning to FIG.
The main control means 50 includes freeze control means 70.
The freeze control means 70 controls the freeze that stops the progress of the game for a predetermined time.
Here, “freeze” (also referred to as “freeze production” or “freeze operation”) means to stop the progress of the game of the slot machine 10 for a predetermined time. More specifically, for example,
a) Accepting a game medium (in this embodiment, a medal) or placing a bet switch 40 for determining the number of pre-credited game media inserted (betting) into a paused state b) To start a game The operation of the start switch 41 is temporarily stopped. C) The operation of the stop switch 42 (operation to stop the reel 31) is temporarily stopped.

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

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

In the present embodiment, the freeze control means 70 determines whether or not to execute the freeze with a predetermined winning probability (1/10) when a predetermined combination (watermelon) is won by the combination lottery means 61. Make a lottery.
Then, when winning the freeze lottery, the freeze control means 70 stops the progress of the game for a predetermined time (5 seconds) after the start switch 41 is operated. Next, reverse rotation freezing is performed in which the three reels 31 are reversely rotated.

Also, when 5 seconds have elapsed since the start switch 41 was operated, the freeze control means 70 stops the reverse rotation of the three reels 31. Thereafter, the reel control means 64 starts to rotate the three reels 31 in the forward direction. When the rotation of the three reels 31 reaches a constant speed state, the main control means 50 accepts the operation of the stop switch 42.
And when a reverse rotation freeze is performed, a privilege is provided with respect to a player. In this embodiment, when a reverse rotation freeze is executed, an AT game execution right with a predetermined number of games (50 games) as a set is given as a privilege to the player. Further, if there is an AT game execution right that has already been stored when the reverse rotation freeze is executed, the storage number (stock number) of the AT game execution right is added (added).

  Further, in the present embodiment, the freeze control means 70 uses the next game after the game in which a stop appearance in which “red 7” − “red 7” − “red 7” are aligned on a straight line appears (replays 23 to 26 are awarded). The winning lottery means 61 wins the replay group A (third to tenth, eighteenth to twentieth, twenty-third to twenty-sixth replays) or replay group C (first to thirteenth, fifteenth, seventeenth replays). When the stop switch 42 is operated at the operation timing at which the reverse push and “red 7” can be stopped are displayed, the control is performed so that the freeze is executed.

Here, in the present embodiment, the sub game state control means 81, which will be described later, determines whether or not to execute the special game when the replay group C is won by the role lottery means 61 during the AT game. When the special game lottery is won, the special game is executed for the predetermined number of games (10 games) from the next game.
Also, during the special game, the notification control means 82, which will be described later, stops by aiming at “Red 7” by reverse pressing in the game won by the 3rd to 27th replay by the role lottery means 61 and the game won by the watermelon. Informs that switch 42 should be operated.
On the other hand, during the non-special game, the notification control means 82 operates the stop switch 42 aiming at “red 7” by pressing it reversely even if the winning combination lottery means 61 wins the 3rd to 27th replays or the watermelon. Do not inform you that you should.

Further, the reel control means 64, in the game won by the role lottery means 61 in the replay group A or group C, when the stop switch 42 is operated at an operation timing at which reverse pressing and “red 7” can be stopped are displayed. The reel 31 is controlled to stop so that the replays 23 to 26 are awarded. As a result, a stop turn where “red 7” − “red 7” − “red 7” are aligned on a straight line appears.
On the other hand, the reel control means 64 can stop display “red 7” even if the stop switch 42 is operated by reverse pressing even if the game is won by the role lottery means 61 for the replay group A or group C. When it is not the operation timing, or when the stop switch 42 is operated in a pressing order other than reverse pressing, the reel 31 is controlled to stop so that replays other than the replays 23 to 26 are awarded. As a result, the stop appearance in which “red 7” − “red 7” − “red 7” are aligned on a straight line does not appear.

In addition, the reel control means 64 is operated at an operation timing at which “red 7” can be stopped and reversely pressed in a game won in the 14th, 16th, 21st, 22nd, or 27th replay by the winning lottery means 61. When the stop switch 42 is operated, the reel 31 is controlled to stop so that the replay 27 is won. As a result, although “Red 7” is tempered, a stop appearance in which “Red 7”-“Red 7”-“Red 7” are aligned on a straight line does not appear.
Furthermore, the reel control means 64 wins the watermelon 03 when the stop switch 42 is operated at an operation timing at which “Red 7” can be stopped and displayed in the game where the watermelon is won by the role lottery means 61. The reel 31 is controlled to be stopped. As a result, a stop turn in which five “red 7” s are aligned in a V shape appears.

In this way, during the special game, in the game won in the 3rd to 27th replay by the role lottery means 61 and the game won in the watermelon, the stop switch 42 should be operated aiming at “red 7” by reverse pressing. Inform the effect. As a result, “red 7” — “red 7” — “red 7” is guided so as to appear on the straight line, or five “red 7” s appear on the straight line.
And, during the special game, the sub-gaming state control means 81 has a stop appearance in which “red 7”-“red 7”-“red 7” are aligned on a straight line, and five “red 7” are V-shaped. Count the number of appearances of the stop appearances that are equal, and when the counted number of appearances exceeds a predetermined number (three times), the player is given the right to execute an AT game with 50 games as a set as a privilege. .

  It should be noted that, regardless of whether an AT game is being played or a special game is being played, the operation timing at which “Red 7” can be stopped and displayed in reverse play in the game won for the Replay Group A or Group C. If the stop switch 42 is operated, a stop turn where “red 7”-“red 7”-“red 7” are aligned on a straight line appears. Similarly, in a game selected as a watermelon, if the stop switch 42 is operated at an operation timing at which the reverse push and “red 7” can be stopped and displayed, the stop outcome in which five “red 7” s are aligned in a V shape. Make it appear.

However, the sub-gaming state control means 81, during the non-special game, has a stop appearance where “red 7”-“red 7”-“red 7” are aligned on a straight line, and five “red 7” are V-shaped. Even if a stop event that matches the above appears, the player is not given a privilege (the right to execute an AT game) to the player.
Further, the sub gaming state control means 81 gives a penalty to the player when the stop switch 42 is operated by irregular pressing during a non-AT game.

  Then, for example, during the special game, the replay 23 wins, and a stop appearance where “red 7”-“red 7”-“red 7” are aligned on a straight line appears. Suppose that the 61st replay was won at 61. In this case, the notification control means 82 notifies the user that the stop switch 42 should be operated aiming at “red 7” by reverse pressing.

  Here, it is assumed that, according to the notification, first, the right stop switch 42 is operated at an operation timing at which “Red 7” of No. 14 and No. 15 of the right reel 31 can be stopped and displayed in the display window 11. In this case, the reel control means 64 controls to stop the right reel 31 so that the “15th“ red 7 ”stops at the middle stage of the display window 11. Thereafter, the freeze control means 70 performs the freeze for a predetermined time (3 seconds). Meanwhile, the main control means 50 disables the operation of the left and middle stop switches 42 while continuing the rotation of the left and middle reels 31, and the effect control means 83 produces a predetermined sound according to the execution of the freeze. While outputting from the speaker 22, a predetermined effect image is displayed on the image display device 23. When 3 seconds elapse from the start of the freeze, the freeze control means 70 ends the freeze, and the main control means 50 enables the operation of the left and middle stop switches 42 to be accepted.

  Further, it is assumed that secondly, the middle stop switch 42 is operated at the operation timing at which the fourth “red 7” of the middle reel 31 can be stopped and displayed in the display window 11 in accordance with the notification. In this case, the reel control means 64 controls to stop the middle reel 31 so that the fourth “red 7” stops at the middle stage of the display window 11. Thereafter, the freeze control means 70 executes the freeze for 3 seconds, during which the main control means 50 disables the operation of the left stop switch 42 while continuing the rotation of the left reel 31, and the effect control means 83 , Output a predetermined effect. When 3 seconds have elapsed from the start of the freeze, the freeze control means 70 ends the freeze, and the main control means 50 enables the operation of the left stop switch 42 to be accepted.

  Furthermore, it is assumed that the left stop switch 42 is finally operated at the operation timing at which “Red 7” of No. 17 and No. 18 of the left reel 31 can be stopped and displayed in the display window 11 according to the notification. In this case, the reel control means 64 controls the left reel 31 to stop so that the “red 7” of No. 17 stops at the middle stage of the display window 11. Thereafter, the freeze control means 70 performs the freeze for 3 seconds, during which time the main control means 50 disables the operation of the start switch 41 of the next game, and the effect control means 83 outputs a predetermined effect. When 3 seconds have elapsed from the start of the freeze, the freeze control means 70 ends the freeze, and the main control means 50 enables the operation of the start switch 41 of the next game.

  In addition, it is the case where the next game of the game in which the stop appearance in which “Red 7” − “Red 7” − “Red 7” are aligned on a straight line appears and the replay group A or group C is won by the role lottery means 61. However, when the stop switch 42 is operated by reverse pressing but “red 7” is not the operation timing at which stop display is possible, or when the stop switch 42 is operated in a pressing order other than reverse pressing, freeze control is performed. The means 70 does not perform freezing.

  In this way, the execution of the freeze during the special game is a notice of the appearance of the stop event where “Red 7” − “Red 7” − “Red 7” are aligned on a straight line, and in advance, the advance notice of the grant of the privilege. It will be a thing. Therefore, during the special game, the player can be expected to give a privilege by executing the freeze.

In addition, if the replay group A or group C is won in succession for two games during a special game, the possibility of executing a freeze increases.
On the other hand, during non-special games, even if two games are consecutively won for replay group A or group C, it is not notified that the stop switch 42 should be operated with the reverse push aiming at “red 7”. The possibility of performing a freeze is low.
Thus, depending on whether or not a special game is in progress, whether or not to notify that the stop switch 42 should be operated by aiming at “red 7” by reverse pressing in the game won in the replay group A or group C is different. , Freeze execution probability can be varied.

Even during the special game, if the replay group A or group C is not won for two consecutive games, the freeze is not executed.
In addition, during a special game, even if two games are consecutively won for the Replay Group A or Group C, if the player does not follow the notification or misoperates the stop switch, the freeze is not executed.

Whether or not the stop switch 42 is operated by aiming at “red 7” by reverse pressing in the game won in the replay group A or group C by controlling the pressing order of the stop switch 42 and the notification of the operation timing. Can be controlled. As a result, it is possible to control whether or not “red 7” − “red 7” − “red 7” appear on the straight line and control whether or not the freeze is executed. Can do.
Therefore, the sub-control unit 80 can control whether or not the freeze is executed by controlling the press of the stop switch 42 and the notification of the operation timing on the sub-control unit 80 side.

  Furthermore, winning the replay group A or group C (the lottery of the combination is performed on the main control means 50 side), and the stop switch 42 is operated with the reverse push aiming at “red 7” (push order) And the notification of the operation timing is controlled on the sub-control means 80 side), so that the freeze is executed accidentally against the intention of the slot machine 10 side. Can do.

Next, a flow of processing for executing freezing during a special game will be described based on a flowchart.
FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing for executing freezing during a special game.
In step S111 of FIG. 14, the freeze control means 70 has made a stop appearance in which “red 7”-“red 7”-“red 7” are aligned on the straight line in the previous game (replays 23 to 26 have been awarded). Judge whether or not. Here, when it is determined that it has appeared, the process proceeds to the next step S112. On the other hand, when it is determined that it does not appear, the processing according to this flowchart is terminated.

In step S112, the freeze control means 70 determines whether or not the replay group A or group C has been won in the game. If it is determined that the player has won, the process proceeds to the next step S113. On the other hand, when it is determined that it does not appear, the processing according to this flowchart is terminated.
In step S113, the freeze control means 70 continues to determine whether or not the first stop operation (the first operation of the stop switch 42) has been performed. When it is determined that the first stop operation has been performed, the process proceeds to the next step S114.

  In step S114, the freeze control means 70 determines whether or not the right stop switch 42 is operated at an operation timing at which “red 7” can be stopped and displayed. Here, when it is determined that the right stop switch 42 is operated at an operation timing at which “red 7” can be stopped, the process proceeds to the next step S115. On the other hand, when it is determined that “red 7” is not the operation timing at which stop display is possible although the right stop switch 42 is operated, and when it is determined that other than the right stop switch 42 is operated, the processing according to this flowchart is performed. Exit.

In step S115, the freeze control means 70 performs the freeze for a predetermined time (3 seconds). Then, the process proceeds to next Step S116.
In step S116, the freeze control means 70 continues to determine whether or not a second stop operation (operation of the second stop switch 42) has been performed. When it is determined that the second stop operation has been performed, the process proceeds to the next step S117.

  In step S117, the freeze control means 70 determines whether or not the middle stop switch 42 has been operated at an operation timing at which “red 7” can be stopped and displayed. Here, when it is determined that the middle stop switch 42 has been operated at an operation timing at which “red 7” can be stopped, the process proceeds to the next step S118. On the other hand, when it is determined that “red 7” is not the operation timing at which stop display is possible although the middle stop switch 42 is operated, and when it is determined that other than the middle stop switch 42 is operated, the processing according to this flowchart is performed. Exit.

In step S118, the freeze control means 70 performs the freeze for a predetermined time (3 seconds). Then, the process proceeds to next Step S119.
In step S119, the freeze control means 70 continues to determine whether or not the third stop operation (the last stop switch 42 operation) has been performed. When it is determined that the third stop operation has been performed, the process proceeds to the next step S120.

In step S120, the freeze control means 70 determines whether or not the left stop switch 42 is operated at an operation timing at which “red 7” can be stopped and displayed. Here, when it is determined that the left stop switch 42 is operated at an operation timing at which “red 7” can be stopped, the process proceeds to the next step S121. On the other hand, when it is determined that “red 7” is not the operation timing at which stop display is possible although the left stop switch 42 is operated, and when it is determined that other than the left stop switch 42 is operated, the processing according to this flowchart is performed. Exit.
In step S121, the freeze control means 70 performs the freeze for a predetermined time (3 seconds). And the process by this flowchart is complete | finished.

Returning to FIG.
An external terminal board 100 (relay board, concentrated terminal board) is electrically connected to the main control board constituting the main control means 50, and a game history display device 110 is electrically connected to the external terminal board 100. ing.
The main control means 50 transmits a game history signal (external signal) related to the game history to the external terminal board 100 in one direction. The external terminal board 100 receives the game history signal received from the main control means 50. , It transmits in one direction to the game history display device 110 and the hall computer (not shown).

In the present embodiment, the main control means 50 uses, as external signals, a transition frequency signal (external signal 1) regarding the number of transitions from non-AT games to AT games, a continuation frequency signal (external signal 2) regarding the number of continuations of AT games, And AT signals (external signals 3 and 4) relating to the execution of the AT game are output.
The game history display device 110 is provided separately from the slot machine 10 and receives an external signal transmitted from the main control means 50 via the external terminal board 100 to display necessary information.

As a result, the player sees the game history display device 110, so that the game history of the slot machine 10, for example, the total number of games on the current day and the past several days, the number of transitions from non-AT games to AT games, You can know how many times the game has been continued.
In addition, the hall computer, including the number of transitions from non-AT games to AT games and the number of continuations of AT games, shows how much each slot machine 10 has played on the day (game information). Collect statistical information and use it for hall management.

Here, for security reasons, the external terminal board 100 is allowed to be connected only to the main control board (main control means 50), and the sub control board (sub control means 80) is inferior to the main control board in terms of security. Are generally not connected.
Therefore, in order to transmit the external signals 1 to 4 from the main control means 50 to the external terminal board 100, the main control means 50 side indicates that the non-AT game has shifted to the AT game or that the AT game has continued. It is necessary to grasp with.

However, although the AT game is controlled on the sub-control means 80 side, the signal is transmitted from the main control means 50 to the sub-control means 80 in one direction, so that the non-AT game is shifted to the AT game. In addition, a signal indicating that the AT game has continued cannot be transmitted from the sub control unit 80 to the main control unit 50.
Therefore, in the present embodiment, the external signal control means 71 (to be described later) recognizes that the main control means 50 side has shifted from the non-AT game to the AT game and that the AT game has continued, and sends the external signals 1 to 4. Transmission is performed from the main control means 50 to the external terminal board 100.

Returning to FIG.
The main control unit 50 includes an external signal control unit 71.
In the present embodiment, the external signal control means 71 includes a push order correct answer counter 71a, a push order incorrect answer counter 71b, and a game number counter 71c.

The push order correct answer counter 71a counts the number of games in which the stop switch 42 is operated in the correct push order (correct answer in the push order) when the push order bell is won.
Specifically, the push order correct answer counter 71a sets “0” as an initial value, “3” as an upper limit value, and increments the count value by “1” every time the push order is correctly answered when the push order is won. When the order incorrect answer counter 71b becomes “2”, the count value is reset (initial value “0” is set).

The push order incorrect answer counter 71b counts the number of games in which the stop switch 42 is operated in the incorrect answer push order (the push order is incorrect) when the push order bell is won.
Specifically, the push order incorrect answer counter 71b sets “0” as an initial value and “2” as an upper limit value, and increments the count value by “1” every time the push order is incorrect when the push order is won. If the correct answer is given in the push order when the push order bell is selected, the count value is reset.

  The game number counter 71c counts the number of games since the push order correct answer counter 71a starts counting, with the game counted by the push order correct answer counter 71a as the first game.

Specifically, the game number counter 71c sets a game in which the count value of the push order correct answer counter 71a is changed from “0” to “1” as the first game, and the count value of the push order correct answer counter 71a is “1” or more. Count the number of games played when
Further, the game number counter 71c has “0” as an initial value, “255” as an upper limit value, and when the count value of the push order correct answer counter 71a is “1” or more, every time one game is consumed, When the count value is incremented by “1” and the count value of the push order incorrect answer counter 71b becomes “2”, the count value is reset.

The external signal control means 71 sets the condition C1 that the number of games counted by the push order correct answer counter 71a has reached N1 (N1 ≧ 2), and outputs the external signals 1 to 4 when the condition C1 is satisfied.
Specifically, in this embodiment, N1 = 3 is set. Then, when the count value of the push order correct answer counter 71a reaches “3”, the external signal control means 71 determines that the condition C1 is satisfied and outputs the external signals 1 to 4.

  Further, the external signal control means 71 sets the condition C2 that the number of games counted by the game number counter 71c has reached N2 (N2> N1) and then correctly answered in the pushing order at the time of winning the pushing order bell, and every time the condition C2 is satisfied. The external signal 2 is output.

Specifically, in this embodiment, N2 = 50 is set. Then, the external signal control means 71 determines that the condition C2 is satisfied when the count value of the game number counter 71c is equal to or greater than “50” and corrects the pressing order when the pressing order bell is won, and determines that the external signal 2 is satisfied. At the same time, “50” is subtracted from the count value of the game number counter 71c. In this way, the external signal 2 is output every time the condition C2 is satisfied.
As a result, during the AT game, the external signal 2 is output every time the N2 game (50 games) is consumed.

The external signal control means 71 sets the condition C3 that the number of games counted by the push order incorrect answer counter 71b has reached N3 (N3 ≧ 2). When the condition C3 is satisfied, the external signal control means 71 sets the push order correct answer counter 71a and The count value of the game number counter 71c is reset.
Specifically, in this embodiment, N3 = 2 is set. When the count value of the push order incorrect answer counter 71b becomes “2”, the external signal control means 71 determines that the condition C3 is satisfied, and the count values of the push order correct answer counter 71a and the game number counter 71c. To reset.

FIG. 15 is a time chart showing output patterns of the external signals 1 to 4.
When the condition C1 is satisfied, the external signal control means 71 starts outputting the external signal 1 (transition frequency signal) (from OFF to ON) and simultaneously starts outputting the external signals 3 and 4 (AT signal). Then, after a predetermined time T1 (1,500 ms) has elapsed since the start of the output of these signals, the output of the external signal 2 (transition frequency signal) is started.
Further, the external signal control means 71 continues the output until the condition C2 or the condition C3 is satisfied for the external signals 1 and 2 and remains ON until the condition C3 is satisfied for the external signals 3 and 4. .

Furthermore, when the condition C2 is satisfied, the external signal control means 71 terminates the output of the external signal 1 (from ON to OFF), and at the same time interrupts the output of the external signal 2 and starts a predetermined time T2 (1 , 000 ms), the output of the external signal 2 is resumed. Thereafter, the external signal control means 71 interrupts the output of the external signal 2 every time the condition C2 is satisfied, and restarts the output of the external signal 2 after a predetermined time T2 has elapsed since the interruption.
Furthermore, the external signal control means 71 ends the output of the external signals 1 to 4 when the condition C3 is satisfied.

  Here, when the AT game is not continued and is ended in 50 games (one set), the condition C3 is satisfied without satisfying the condition C2. In this case, the external signal control means 71 ends all outputs of the external signals 1 to 4 simultaneously when the condition C3 is satisfied.

  On the other hand, when the AT game continues and exceeds 50 games (two or more sets are continuously played), the condition C3 is satisfied after the condition C2 is satisfied. In this case, the external signal control means 71 ends the output of the external signal 1 when the condition C2 is satisfied. Therefore, when the condition C3 is satisfied, the output of the external signal 1 has already ended at that time. Therefore, the three outputs of the external signals 2 to 4 are finished simultaneously.

  In addition, after the end of the AT game, the next AT game may be started before the condition C3 is satisfied. In this case, since the condition C3 is not satisfied, the output of the external signals 2 to 4 is continued, and the count value of the game number counter 71c is not reset, so that the external signal control means 71 continues the AT game. As a result of (continuous change), control for outputting an external signal is continued.

  As described above, in this embodiment, at the start and end of the AT game, the main control state is determined independently on the sub control unit 80 side without the transition of the main game state. The external signal control means 71 controls the output of the external signals 1 to 4 by determining the AT game start timing, continuation presence / absence, and end timing.

Here, for example, when the count value of the push order correct answer counter 71a changes from “0” to “1”, the external signals 1 to 4 may be set to be output.
However, in this case, external signals 1 to 4 are output against the intention of the slot machine 10 side when the correct answer is made in the order of pressing in the case of the selection of the pressing order bell during non-AT game.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the external signals 1 to 4 are set to be output when the count value of the push order correct answer counter 71a becomes “3”.
Thereby, it is possible to prevent the external signals 1 to 4 from being output against the intention on the slot machine 10 side during the non-AT game.
Note that the count value of the push order correct answer counter 71a when the external signals 1 to 4 are output, that is, N1 may be “2” or more, and is not limited to “3”.

However, although the output of the external signals 1 to 4 contrary to the intention on the slot machine 10 side can be more reliably prevented as the numerical value set in N1 is increased, the AT game start timing and the external signal on the sub control means 80 side The gap between the output timings 1 to 4 becomes large.
Conversely, as the numerical value set in N1 is reduced, the gap between the start timing of the AT game on the sub control means 80 side and the output timing of the external signals 1 to 4 can be reduced, but the slot machine 10 side There is a high possibility that the external signals 1 to 4 will be output against the intention.

In the present embodiment, the external signals 1 to 4 are output when the count value of the push order correct answer counter 71a becomes “3”. For this reason, for example, it is possible to set a game in which the count value of the push order correct answer counter 71a is “3” as the first game and count the number of games thereafter by the game number counter 71c.
However, in this case, there is a relatively large difference between the AT game start time on the sub-control means 80 side and the count start time of the game number counter 71c.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the game in which the count value of the push order correct answer counter 71a is changed from “0” to “1” is set as the first game, and the number of games thereafter is set to be counted by the game number counter 71c. doing.
As a result, the difference between the start timing of the AT game on the sub control means 80 side and the count start timing of the game number counter 71c can be minimized, and further, the AT game continues on the sub control means 80 side. The difference between the timing and the output timing of the external signal 2 after the second time can be minimized.

Here, for example, when the count value of the game number counter 71c becomes “50”, the external signal 2 is output without being conditional on the correct answer in the push order when the push order is won. It can also be set.
However, if there is a discrepancy between the AT game start time on the sub-control means 80 side and the count start time of the game number counter 71c, when the count value of the game number counter 71c reaches “50”, The AT game may have ended on the sub-control means 80 side. In this case, the external signal 2 is output from the main control means 50 side even though the AT game is ended on the sub control means 80 side.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the count value of the game number counter 71c is equal to or greater than “50” and the correct answer is made in the push order when the push order is won, the external signal 2 is output and the count value of the game number counter 71c “50” is subtracted from the value.
Thus, the external signal 2 can be output after the main control means 50 side confirms that the AT game is continued on the sub control means 80 side.

  That is, even if the count value of the game number counter 71c is equal to or greater than “50”, the fact that the correct answer is made in the push order when the push order bell is won means that the AT game is continued on the sub-control means 80 side. This means that the correct pressing order is notified when the bell is won, and that the player is operating the stop switch 42 in accordance with this notification.

  On the other hand, when the AT game is ended on the side of the sub-control means 80, the correct push order is not notified even if the push order bell is won. For this reason, even if the count value of the game number counter 71c is “50” or more, the count value of the push order incorrect answer counter 71b eventually becomes “2” without outputting the external signal 2, and the external signals 1 to 4 and the count value of the push order correct answer counter 71a and the like are reset.

Although it is extremely rare, the sub-control means 80 side continues the AT game, but during that time, it does not win the push order bell once over 50 games. For this reason, the game counter 71c The count value may become “100” or more.
Even in such a case, if the correct answer is made in the push order when the push order is won, the external signal 2 is output as usual and “50” is subtracted from the count value of the game number counter 71c.

However, even if “50” is subtracted, the count value of the game number counter 71c is still “50” or more. For this reason, if the correct answer is reached in the push order bell winning within a few games, the external signal 2 is output again and “50” is subtracted from the count value of the game number counter 71c. Therefore, the external signal 2 is output continuously while digesting several games.
In this case, although there is a large gap between the AT game continuation time on the sub-control means 80 side and the output timing of the external signal 2, the number of times the external signal 2 is output matches the number of continuations of the AT game. I'm doing it. That is, only the output timing of the external signal 2 is greatly delayed, and not many external signals 2 are output by mistake.

Here, for example, when the count value of the push order incorrect answer counter 71b changes from “0” to “1”, the output of the external signals 1 to 4 is terminated and the push order correct answer counter 71a is reset. It can also be set as follows.
However, in this case, one incorrect push order due to a player's operation mistake or the like ends the output of the external signals 1 to 4 against the intention of the slot machine 10, and the push order correct answer counter 71a etc. The count value will be reset.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the count value of the push order incorrect answer counter 71b reaches “2”, the output of the external signals 1 to 4 is terminated and the count value of the push order correct answer counter 71a and the like is reset. It is set as follows.
Thus, it is possible to prevent the external signals 1 to 4 from being output or resetting the count values of the push order correct answer counter 71a or the like against the intention of the slot machine 10 side during the AT game. .
Note that the count value of the push order incorrect answer counter 71b when the output of the external signals 1 to 4 is finished and the count value of the push order correct answer counter 71a and the like is reset, that is, N3 may be “2” or more. , “2” is not the only limit.

Here, in the conventional general slot machine, an RB signal related to the execution of the RB game is output as the external signal 1, and a 1BB signal related to the execution of the 1BB game is output as the external signal 2.
Therefore, the game history display device 110 counts and displays the number of times the RB game or 1BB game is executed on the assumption that the RB signal is output as the external signal 1 and the 1BB signal is output as the external signal 2. Is set to

By the way, there is a game history display device 110 having a specification in which the 1BB signal is prioritized over the RB signal, and when the RB signal and the 1BB signal are output simultaneously, only the 1BB signal is counted without counting the RB signal. .
In the game history display device 110 having such specifications, when the RB signal (external signal 1) and the 1BB signal (external signal 2) are output simultaneously, only the 1BB signal (external signal 2) is counted, and the RB signal (external signal 1) is output. ) Is not counted.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the condition C1 is satisfied, the external signal control means 71 first starts outputting the external signal 1, and after a predetermined time T1 (1,500 ms) has elapsed since the start of the output of the external signal 1. The output of the external signal 2 is set to start.
Thereby, also in the game history display apparatus 110 of the above specifications, both the external signals 1 and 2 are counted and reflected in the display.
The predetermined time T1 is not limited to 1,500 ms and can be set as appropriate.

  In the game history display device 110 having the above specifications, the output of the BB signal (external signal 2) is interrupted (ON to OFF) while the output of the RB signal (external signal 1) is continued (ON). Then, it is erroneously determined that the RB signal (external signal 1) is output (turned from OFF to ON) at that moment, and the RB signal (external signal 1) is counted.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the condition C2 is satisfied, the external signal control means 71 terminates the output of the external signal 1 (from ON to OFF), and at the same time interrupts the output of the external signal 2 and starts the process from the interruption. It is set to resume the output of the external signal 2 after the time T2 (1,000 ms) has elapsed.
As a result, even in the game history display device 110 having the above specifications, the external signal 2 (the number of AT game continuations) is correctly counted without erroneously counting the external signal 1 (the number of AT game transitions). I have to.

Next, the flow of processing for outputting an external signal will be described based on a flowchart.
FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing for outputting an external signal.
In step S11 of FIG. 16, the external signal control means 71 determines whether or not the count value of the push order correct answer counter 71a is “1” or more. If it is determined that the value is “1” or more, the process proceeds to the next step S12. On the other hand, when it is determined that it is not “1” or more (“0”), step S12 is skipped and the process proceeds to step S13.

In step S12, the external signal control means 71 adds “1” to the count value of the game number counter 71c. Then, the process proceeds to the next step S13.
In step S13, the external signal control means 71 determines whether or not the push order bell has been won. Here, when it is determined that the push order bell is won, the process proceeds to the next step S14. On the other hand, when it is determined that the push order bell is not won, the processing according to this flowchart is terminated.

In step S14, the external signal control means 71 determines whether or not the correct answer has been made in the order of pressing. Here, when it is determined that the correct answers have been made in the order of pressing, the process proceeds to the next step S15. On the other hand, when it is determined that the correct answer has not been obtained in the push order (the push order is incorrect), the process proceeds to step S25.
In step S15, the external signal control means 71 resets the count value of the push order incorrect answer counter 71b (sets the initial value “0”). Then, the process proceeds to next Step S16.

In step S16, the external signal control means 71 determines whether or not the external signal 2 (continuation count signal) is output (ON). If it is determined that the external signal 2 is not ON (OFF), the process proceeds to the next step S17. On the other hand, when it is determined that the external signal 2 is ON, the process proceeds to step S22.
In step S17, the external signal control means 71 adds “1” to the count value of the push order correct answer counter 71a. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S18.

In step S18, the external signal control means 71 determines whether or not the count value of the push order correct answer counter 71a is “1”. Here, when it is determined that the count value of the push order correct answer counter 71a is “1”, the process proceeds to the next step S19. On the other hand, when it is determined that the count value of the push order correct answer counter 71a is not “1”, the process skips step S19 and proceeds to step S20.
In step S19, the external signal control means 71 sets “1” to the count value of the game number counter 71c. That is, the game number counter 71c starts counting the number of games. Then, the process proceeds to the next step S20.

In step S20, the external signal control means 71 determines whether or not the count value of the push order correct answer counter 71a is “3” or more. If it is determined that the value is “3” or more (condition C1 is satisfied), the process proceeds to the next step S21. On the other hand, when it is determined that it is not “3” or more, the processing according to this flowchart is terminated.
In step S21, the external signal control means 71 starts outputting the external signal 1 (transition frequency signal) (from OFF to ON) and simultaneously starts outputting the external signals 3 and 4 (AT signal). After a predetermined time T1 (1,500 ms) has elapsed from the start of the output, the output of the external signal 2 (transition frequency signal) is started. And the process by this flowchart is complete | finished.

In step S22, the external signal control means 71 determines whether or not the count value of the game number counter 71c is “50” or more. If it is determined that the value is “50” or more (condition C2 is satisfied), the process proceeds to the next step S23. On the other hand, when it is determined that it is not “50” or more, the processing according to this flowchart is terminated.
In step S23, the external signal control means 71 terminates the output of the external signal 1 (from ON to OFF) and at the same time interrupts the output of the external signal 2, and after an elapse of a predetermined time T2 (1,000 ms) from the interruption, Resume output of signal 2. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S24.

In step S24, the external signal control means 71 subtracts “50” from the count value of the game number counter 71c. And the process by this flowchart is complete | finished.
In step S25, the external signal control means 71 adds “1” to the count value of the push order incorrect answer counter 71b. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S26.

In step S26, the external signal control means 71 determines whether or not the count value of the push order incorrect answer counter 71b is “2” or more. If it is determined that the value is “2” or more, the process proceeds to the next step S27. On the other hand, when it is determined that it is not “2” or more, the processing according to this flowchart is terminated.
In step S27, the external signal control means 71 ends the output of the external signals 1 to 4 (from ON to OFF). Then, the process proceeds to next Step S28.

In step S28, the external signal control means 71 resets the count values of the push order correct answer counter 71a and the push order incorrect answer counter 71b, respectively (sets the initial value “0”). Then, the process proceeds to next Step S29.
In step S29, the external signal control means 71 resets the count value of the game number counter 71c (sets the initial value “0”). And the process by this flowchart is complete | finished.

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

Returning to FIG.
The sub control unit 80 includes a sub game state control unit 81 and a notification control unit 82.
As described above, the present embodiment includes AT games (notification games) and non-AT games (non-notification games) as sub game states.
Here, the AT game is a game in which the first to 56th bells are won by the role lottery means 61. A game that informs (order).

On the other hand, the non-AT game means that the stop switch 42 is pressed in order to stop and display a combination of symbols having a large profit received by the player even if the first to 56th bells are won by the role lottery means 61 ( A game in which the correct answer order is not reported.
Then, the sub gaming state control unit 81 controls transition between sub gaming states (between the AT game and the non-AT game), and the notification control unit 82 controls notification of the pressing order of the stop switch 42.

  Here, when the sub game state control means 81 wins the replay group C (replay in which “cherry” can be stopped and displayed at the first stop on the left) by the combination lottery means 61 during the non-AT game, the AT game is executed. An AT lottery is performed to determine whether or not to grant the right. The winning probability of this AT lottery is set to 1/10. And when winning by AT lottery, the sub game state control means 81 grants the right to execute AT games.

In addition, regardless of whether the game is AT or non-AT, when the white 7 is won by the role lottery means 61 and this white 7 wins, the sub gaming state control means 81 does not perform the AT lottery, Grants the right to execute AT games.
Further, when the watermelon is won by the role lottery means 61, the freeze control means 70 performs a freeze lottery to determine whether or not to execute the freeze, and when winning by this freeze lottery, the reverse rotation freeze is executed. . When the reverse rotation freeze is executed regardless of whether an AT game or a non-AT game is being performed, the sub game state control means 81 grants an AT game execution right without performing an AT lottery.

  Further, when the sub game state control means 81 grants the AT game execution right, the sub game state control means 81 determines that the AT game execution condition is satisfied, and starts the AT game after the predetermined number of games (10 games) is consumed. When the predetermined number of games (50 games) are consumed during the AT game, the sub game state control means 81 determines that the AT game end condition is satisfied, and shifts from the next game to the non-AT game. To control. That is, when an AT game execution right is granted, an AT game with 50 games as one set is executed.

In the present embodiment, the sub game state control means 81 includes an execution right counter 81a that counts the number of AT game execution rights. When the AT game execution right is granted, the AT game execution right is granted. Is added to the count value of the execution right counter 81a.
Then, when the count value of the execution right counter 81a is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, the sub gaming state control means 81 executes the AT game and calculates a numerical value corresponding to the execution of the AT game from the count value of the execution right counter 81a. Subtract.

Specifically, for example, when the sub game state control means 81 grants one AT game execution right, the sub game state control means 81 adds “1” to the count value of the execution right counter 81a to give the AT game execution right 3 When the number is granted, “3” is added to the count value of the execution right counter 81a.
As a result, when an AT game execution right is granted during an AT game, the granted AT game execution right can be stored (stocked). At this time, if there is an AT game execution right already stored, It is possible to add (add) the storage number (stock number) of AT game execution rights.

Further, when the count value of the execution right counter 81a is “1” or more, the sub game state control means 81 executes the AT game, and at the start of the AT game, “1” is calculated from the count value of the execution right counter 81a. Is subtracted.
Then, the sub game state control means 81 repeatedly executes the AT game until the count value of the execution right counter 81a becomes “0”.
That is, when the AT game execution right is stored (stock), the AT game is continued (continuous) until the storage number (stock number) becomes zero. At this time, the sub game state control means 81 once ends one AT game and then starts the next AT game.

  During an AT game, the notification control means 82 pushes the stop switch 42 in order to stop and display a combination of symbols having a large profit received by the player in the game where the first to 56th bells are won by the role lottery means 61. (Correct answer pressing order) is notified.

  Further, during the AT game, the notification control means 82 notifies the irregular push in the game won by the role lottery means 61 for the second replay. As described above, in the game won in the second replay, the replay 02 (replay that seems to have won “Bell”) is won at the first left stop, and the replay 01 is won when the irregular push is performed. For this reason, during an AT game, if the player operates the stop switch 42 according to the notification, the replay 02 will not win.

  Further, the sub game state control means 81 performs a special game lottery for determining whether or not to execute a special game when the replay C group is won by the role lottery means 61 during an AT game. The winning probability of this special game lottery is set to 1/10. Here, the special game means that “red 7”-“red 7”-“red 7” is a stop appearance where the “red 7” is aligned on a straight line, and five stop appearances where “red 7” is aligned in a V shape. Is a game in which a privilege is given to a player according to the number of appearances counted. When the special game lottery is won, the sub game state control means 81 starts the special game from the next game.

During the special game, the notification control means 82 uses the combination lottery means 61 to perform the 3rd to 27th replays (when pressed backward, three “red 7” s can be aligned on a straight line, or “red 7” can be a temperament) In the game won and the watermelon (the five “red 7” can be aligned in a V shape when pushed backward), the fact that the stop switch 42 should be operated by pushing backward is notified.
The “red 7” temper is that the last reel 31 is rotating (not stopped), but the other reels 31 are already stopped, and at that time, the symbol combination line is displayed. It means that “Red 7” is available. For example, the symbol combination line is “Rotating” − “Red 7” − “Red 7”.

Here, when the third to thirteenth, fifteenth, seventeenth to twentieth and twenty-third to twenty-sixth replays are pressed in reverse, “red 7”-“red 7”-“red 7” can be stopped and displayed. It is.
In the 14th, 16th, 21st, 22nd, and 27th replays, "Red 7" can be tempered when pressed backwards, but "Red 7"-"Red 7"-"Red 7" are not stopped and displayed. Replay. That is, a combination of symbols different from “red 7”-“red 7”-“red 7” can be stopped and displayed although a part of “red 7”-“red 7”-“red 7” is formed. Replay.

Then, during the special game, the notification control means 82 is selected by pressing the reverse button when “Red 7”-“Red 7”-“Red 7” is selected for a replay that can be stopped and displayed, and when pressed backward, “Red 7” is displayed. “Red 7”-“Red 7”-“Red 7” notifies the user that the stop switch 42 should be operated by reverse pressing in both cases when winning a replay that is not stopped and displayed.
As a result, in the game won in the 14th, 16th, 21st, 22nd, or 27th replay by the winning lottery means 61, when the player operates the stop switch 42 by reverse pressing according to the notification, "Red 7" Since the game can be played, it is possible to increase the player's expectation that “red 7”-“red 7”-“red 7” may be stopped and displayed.

In addition, during the special game, the sub-gaming state control means 81 has a stop appearance where “red 7”-“red 7”-“red 7” are aligned on a straight line, and five “red 7” are V-shaped. The number of appearances of the stop appearances that are aligned is counted, and when the counted number of appearances exceeds a predetermined number (three times), an AT game execution right is granted as a privilege for the player.
During non-special games, there will be a stop turn where “Red 7”-“Red 7”-“Red 7” are aligned on a straight line and a stop turn where five “Red 7” are aligned in a V shape. However, no privilege is granted.
When the predetermined number of games (10 games) is consumed during the special game, the sub game state control means 81 ends the special game.

As described above, in this embodiment, winning in AT lottery, white 7 winning / winning, reverse rotation freezing, and a specific stoppage appearing more than a predetermined number of times during a special game Are set as conditions for granting the right to execute AT games.
Here, the lottery of the combination, stop symbol determination (winning determination), and freeze control are performed on the main control means 50 side. On the other hand, AT lottery and special game lottery are performed on the sub-control means 80 side. The signal is transmitted from the main control unit 50 to the sub control unit 80 in one direction.

  Therefore, among the conditions for granting the right to execute AT games, the main control means 50 can grasp that White 7 has won and won, and the reverse rotation freeze has occurred. In addition, it is impossible for the main control means 50 to grasp that a specific stop appearance has occurred a predetermined number of times or more during the special game.

  In addition, in order to transmit the lottery result of the combination, the winning combination and the information on the freeze to the sub-control unit 80 from the main control unit 50, the fact that the white 7 has won and won, and the reverse rotation freeze has occurred Of course, the sub-control means 80 can grasp this.

Further, when the MB game is won during the AT game, the sub game state control means 81 clears the count of the number of digest games of the AT game, and the external signal control means 71 includes the push order correct answer counter 71a and the push order correct answer counter. The count values of 71b and the game number counter 71c are reset. Then, the sub game state control means 81 grants the right to execute the AT game and starts the AT game after the MB game ends.
Furthermore, after the end of the AT game, before the output of the external signals 1 to 4 is ended (before the condition C3 is satisfied), when the next AT game is started, the effect control unit 83 continues the AT game ( As a result, the display on the image display device 23 is controlled.

In addition, when the stop switch 42 is operated by pressing irregularly during the non-AT game, the sub gaming state control means 81 will not perform an AT lottery even if winning the replay group C as a penalty. Probability is lower than usual.
Of course, the sub gaming state control means 81 does not give a penalty even if the stop switch 42 is operated by irregular pressing when the irregular pressing is notified during AT gaming.
In this way, during a non-AT game, the player operates the stop switch 42 at the first left stop in order to avoid a penalty.

  In this embodiment, the bell hardly wins while operating the stop switch 42 in the first left stop. Therefore, while operating the stop switch 42 in the first left stop, the penalty can be avoided, but the bell hardly wins.

Here, during the non-AT game, the winning lottery means 61 is set as the AT lottery execution condition that the replay group C (replay in which “cherry” can be stopped and displayed at the first left stop) is won.
For this reason, when the replay C group is won by the combination lottery means 61 during the non-AT game, the notification control means 82 notifies that the replay C group has been won.

This increases the player's expectation for the AT lottery and prompts the player to operate the stop switch 42 at the first left stop.
That is, when the stop switch 42 is operated by irregular pressing during non-AT gaming, the sub gaming state control means 81 does not perform AT lottery or lowers the winning probability of AT lottery as a penalty. Thereby, during the non-AT game, the stop switch 42 is operated at the first left stop. When the replay group C is won, the notification control means 82 notifies the fact and does not notify the pushing order so that the stop switch 42 is operated in the first left stop.

As described above, in the present embodiment, during a non-AT game, the player operates the stop switch 42 at the first left stop to avoid a penalty.
In addition, in the game in which a combination of symbols having different profits received by the player according to the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is displayed (game in which the first to 56th bells are won by the role lottery means 61), the first left stop is The correct answer in the pushing order is only when the first or 38th bell is won.
From the above, it is not necessary to notify the pressing order of the first left stop.

However, it is unnatural that no notification of the pressing order of left middle right or left and right middle is performed.
For this reason, in the present embodiment, the notification control means 82 is a game in which the combination of symbols having the same profit received by the player regardless of the order in which the stop switch 42 is pressed is displayed during the AT game (the role lottery means 61 In the game won in the 1st to 27th replays), the pressing order of left middle right or right and left middle is notified with a predetermined probability. This left middle right or left / right middle push order notification is a so-called gasset push order notification.
As a result, the six pressing orders can be notified in a balanced manner, and as a result, the player can be prevented from feeling uncomfortable.

Returning to FIG.
The sub control unit 80 includes an effect control unit 83.
The effect control means 83 controls the output of the effects from the lamp 21, the speaker 22, and the image display device 23 described above.

  For each game, the effect control unit 83 selects an effect by lottery using software random numbers based on the lottery result of the combination by the combination lottery unit 61 at the start of the game. Specifically, as the game progresses, at what timing (when the start switch 41 is operated, when each stop switch 42 is operated, etc.), what effect is output (how the lamp 21 is operated) Whether to turn on, blink, or turn off, what kind of sound is output from the speaker 22, what kind of image is displayed on the image display device 23, and the like. Then, an effect is output according to this selection.

Note that the lamp 21, the speaker 22, and the image display device 23 are controlled on the sub-control means 80 side, not on the main control means 50 side.
However, the freeze is controlled on the main control means 50 side.
However, when the freeze is executed, a signal to that effect is transmitted from the main control means 50 to the sub-control means 80, and image display and the like during the execution of the freeze are controlled by the sub-control means 80 side. In this way, the effect control unit 83 displays an effect image corresponding to the freeze on the image display device 23.

  Similarly, when the AT game execution right is granted, the effect control means 83 displays an image on the image display device 23 indicating that the AT game execution right has been granted and the number of AT game execution rights stored (stock number). To do.

Further, in the present embodiment, the effect control means 83 can output a number suggesting effect that suggests the number of AT game execution rights, and has a plurality of types of number suggesting effects with different suggested numbers.
Furthermore, the production control means 83 determines the number of notifications equal to or less than the count value of the execution right counter 81a every time an AT game is started.

Further, the effect control means 83 includes a notification number counter 83a that counts the notification number. When the notification number is determined, a numerical value corresponding to the determined notification number is added to the count value of the notification number counter 83a. .
Then, when the count value of the notification number counter 83a is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, the effect control unit 83 suggests any number that suggests a number equal to or less than the count value of the notification number counter 83a from among a plurality of types of number suggestion effects. The suggestion effect is selected, the selected number suggestion effect is output, and a numerical value corresponding to the output number suggestion effect is subtracted from the count value of the notification number counter 83a.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, the effect control means 83 suggests the number suggesting effects 1A to 1E that suggest the number “1”, the number suggesting effects 2A to 2E that suggest the number “2”, and the number “3”. The number suggesting effects 3A to 3E, the number suggesting effects 4A to 4E indicating the number “4”, and the number suggesting effects 5A to 5E indicating the number “5” are provided.
These number suggestion effects suggest the number of AT game execution rights, for example, by the pattern of the effect image output to the image display device 23 or the like.

  Also, at the start of the AT game, if the count value of the execution right counter 81a is, for example, “5”, the effect control means 83 determines the number of notifications of “5” or less by lottery. Then, for example, when “3” is determined as the notification number, the effect control unit 83 adds the determined “3” to the count value of the notification number counter 83a.

Here, the effect control means 83 varies the probability of determining the number of notifications less than the count value of the execution right counter 81a according to the count value of the execution right counter 81a.
Specifically, in this embodiment, when the count value of the execution right counter 81a is “5” or more, the effect control unit 83 increases the probability of determining the number of notifications less than the count value of the execution right counter 81a. It is set as follows.
On the other hand, when the count value of the execution right counter 81a is less than “5”, the effect control means 83 is set to increase the probability of determining the same number of notifications as the count value of the execution right counter 81a. Yes.

The sub gaming state control means 81 subtracts “1” from the count value of the execution right counter 81a at the start of the AT game. Then, the effect control means 83 determines the number of notifications based on the execution right counter 81a after subtraction by the sub gaming state control means 81.
That is, at the start of the AT game, the sub gaming state control means 81 first subtracts “1” from the count value of the execution right counter 81a, and then the effect control means 83 uses the count value of the execution right counter 81a. The following number of notifications is determined.
For this reason, the number of notifications indicates the number of unexecuted AT game execution rights.

In addition, when the count value of the notification number counter 83a is “1” or more, the effect control means 83 performs an effect output lottery that determines whether or not to output the number suggestion effect at the time of operation of each game and the start switch 41. Do.
In this embodiment, according to the setting value which the setting value memory | storage means 60a memorize | stores, it sets so that the winning probability of an effect output lottery may differ. Specifically, the higher the set value is, the higher the winning probability of the effect output lottery is set. Thereby, the output frequency of the number suggestion effect varies according to the set value.

When winning in the effect output lottery, any number suggesting effect suggesting a number equal to or smaller than the count value of the notification number counter 83a is selected.
For example, when the count value of the notification number counter 83a is “3”, the effect control unit 83 counts the number suggesting effects 3A to 3E suggesting the number “3” and the number suggesting effects 2A to 2E indicating the number “2”. , And the number suggestion effects 1A to 1E suggesting the number “1”, and one of them is selected by lottery.

  Furthermore, for example, when the number suggesting effect 2A is selected, the effect control means 83 selects the selected number suggesting effect 2A from the time when the start switch 41 is operated to the time when the last stop switch 42 is operated. While outputting at the timing, “2” corresponding to the output number suggestion effect 2A is subtracted from the count value of the notification number counter 83a. As a result, the count value of the notification number counter 83a becomes “1”.

  Then, the effect control means 83 selects a number suggesting effect that suggests a number less than or equal to the count value of the notification number counter 83a until the count value of the notification number counter 83a becomes “0”, and outputs the selected number suggestion effect. Then, the process of subtracting the numerical value corresponding to the output number suggestion effect from the count value of the notification number counter 83a is repeated.

In addition, before the count value of the notification number counter 83a becomes “0”, the AT game may be ended after the predetermined number of games (50 games) are consumed during the AT game. That is, at the end of the AT game, the count value of the notification number counter 83a may be “1” or more.
In this case, the effect control means 83 clears the count value of the notification number counter 83a at the end of the AT game.

Further, when the AT game is continued (continuous change), that is, when one AT game is ended and then the next AT game is started, the count of the notification number counter 83a is counted at the end of one AT game. Sometimes the value is “1” or more.
In this case, the effect control means 83 once clears the count value of the notification number counter 83a at the end of one AT game, and then the notification number equal to or less than the count value of the execution right counter 81a at the start of the next AT game. Is newly determined, and the determined notification number is set in the notification number counter 83a.

As described above, in this embodiment, as long as the count value of the notification number counter 83a is “1” or more, there is a possibility that the number suggestion effect is continuously output over a plurality of games.
Therefore, the player's expectation for the number suggestion effect can be sustained over a plurality of games.

If the count value of the notification number counter 83a becomes “0”, the number suggestion effect is not output thereafter, but the number suggestion effect is output as long as the count value of the notification number counter 83a is “1” or more. Even if it disappears, there is a possibility that the number suggesting effect will be output again.
Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player's expectation for the number suggestion effect from being interrupted when the number suggestion effect is no longer output.

Furthermore, since the number of notifications equal to or less than the count value of the execution right counter 81a is determined, there is a possibility that there is an AT game execution right that is not a notification target.
Therefore, even if the number suggestion effect is not output, it is possible to make the player expect the possibility that the right to execute the AT game is stored (stocked).

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the production control means 83 determines the number of notifications equal to or less than the count value of the execution right counter 81a every time an AT game is started. Then, during the AT game, the effect control means 83 repeats selection and output of the number suggestion effect until the count value of the notification number counter 83a becomes “0”.
Therefore, the number suggestion effect will be repeatedly output until all the rights to execute AT games that are stored (stock) are exhausted, so that the player's expectation for the continuation of AT games (continuous change) will be increased. Can do.

Second Embodiment
Subsequently, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.
In the first embodiment, the external signal control means 71 is controlled to output the external signal 2 (continuation count signal) every time 50 games are consumed during an AT game.
On the other hand, in the second embodiment, the external signal control means 71 outputs the external signal 2 (difference number signal) every time the difference number obtained by subtracting the insertion number from the payout number reaches 250 during AT game. Control to output.

In the present embodiment, the external signal control means 71 includes a push order correct answer counter 71a and a push order incorrect answer counter 71b, and a difference number counter 71d in place of the game number counter 71c of the first embodiment.
Further, in the present embodiment, the main control means 50 relates to a transition number signal (external signal 1) relating to the number of transitions from a non-AT game to an AT game as an external signal, and a difference number obtained by subtracting the inserted number from the number of medals paid out. A difference number signal (external signal 2) and an AT signal (external signals 3 and 4) relating to the execution of the AT game are output.

As in the first embodiment, the push order correct answer counter 71a counts the number of games in which the stop switch 42 is operated in the correct push order when the push order bell is won.
However, unlike the first embodiment, in this embodiment, the push order correct answer counter 71a sets “0” as an initial value and “2” as an upper limit value, and push order bell wins when an external signal is not being output. Whenever the correct answer is given, the count value is incremented by "1". If the push order is incorrect when the push order is won, the count value is reset (initial value "0" is set).
In other words, in the present embodiment, the push order correct answer counter 71a performs a counting operation only while no external signal is being output.

  Unlike the first embodiment, the push order incorrect answer counter 71b is the number of games in which the stop switch 42 is operated in the wrong answer push order when the push order bell is won, and the replay 02 ( The number of games won by Replay (which looks like "Bell" won) is counted.

Specifically, the push order incorrect answer counter 71b sets “2” as an initial value and “0” as a lower limit value, and when the push order bell is won during the output of the external signal, Every time Replay 02 wins with the first stop left at the second replay win, the count value is decremented by “1” and the correct answer is pushed in the push order bell win, or the replay 01 is irregularly pressed at the second replay win. When winning, the count value is reset (initial value “2” is set).
That is, in this embodiment, the push order incorrect answer counter 71b performs the counting operation only during the output of the external signal.

  As described above, during the AT game, the notification control unit 82 notifies the correct pressing order when the pressing order is won, and notifies the irregular pressing when the second replay is selected. For this reason, during an AT game, if the player operates the stop switch 42 in accordance with the notification, the correct answer will be given in the pushing order when the push order is won, and the replay 01 will be won when the second replay is won.

The difference number counter 71d counts the difference number obtained by subtracting the number of inserted medals from the number of paid-out medals. The game that the push order correct answer counter 71a starts counting is counted as the first game, and the count of the push order correct answer counter 71a is counted. Count the difference after the start.
Specifically, the difference number counter 71d calculates the difference number by subtracting the inserted number from the number of medals paid out in each game except the games won in the 1st to 27th replays, and counts the calculated difference number. Add to the value.

  Further, the difference sheet counter 71d sets “0” as an initial value, “255” as an upper limit value, “−255” as a lower limit value, and when the count value becomes “250” or more, the count value becomes “ 250 ”is subtracted, and when the count value becomes less than“ −255 ”, the count value is reset (initial value“ 0 ”is set).

Furthermore, the difference counter 71d is in a state where the external signal is not being output, when the push order is incorrect when the push order is won, or when the replay 02 is won with the left first stop when the second replay is won. Reset the count value.
Further, the difference counter 71d outputs the count value even when the external signal is output, even if the push order is incorrect when the push order is won, or the replay 02 wins at the first left stop at the second replay win. When the count value of the push order incorrect answer counter 71b becomes “0” without resetting, the count value is reset.

Thus, in the present embodiment, the difference number counter 71b calculates the difference number in each game excluding the games won in the first to 27th replays, and adds the calculated difference number to the count value. . And while the external signal is not being output, when the push order is incorrect when the push order bell is won, or when the replay 02 wins with the first left stop at the second replay win, as with the push order correct answer counter 71a. The count value is reset. In other words, the condition for resetting the count value of the difference number counter 71b is the same as that of the push order correct answer counter 71a while the external signal is not output.
For this reason, the difference sheet counter 71b counts the difference sheet after the count start of the push order correct answer counter 71a.

The external signal control means 71 sets the condition P1 that the number of games counted by the push order correct answer counter 71a has reached M1 (M1 ≧ 2), and outputs the external signals 1 to 4 when the condition P1 is satisfied.
Specifically, in this embodiment, M1 = 2 is set. Then, when the count value of the push order correct answer counter 71a becomes “2”, the external signal control means 71 determines that the condition P1 is satisfied and outputs the external signals 1 to 4.

  The external signal control means 71 sets the condition P2 that the difference sheet count counted by the difference sheet counter 71d has reached M2 (M2> 0), and outputs the external signal 2 every time the condition P2 is satisfied.

Specifically, in this embodiment, M2 = 250 is set. Then, when the count value of the difference sheet counter 71d becomes “250” or more, the external signal control means 71 determines that the condition P2 is satisfied, outputs the external signal 2, and counts the difference sheet counter 71d. Subtract "250" from the value. In this way, the external signal 2 is output every time the condition P2 is satisfied.
As a result, during the AT game, the external signal 2 is output every time M2 (250) medals are acquired.

Each time the condition P2 is satisfied, the external signal control means 71 outputs the external signal 2, and at the same time, the main control means 50 transmits information indicating that the condition P2 is satisfied to the sub-control means 80. .
When the sub-control means 80 receives information indicating that the condition P2 is satisfied, the effect control means 83 responds to the fact that the condition P2 is satisfied (the difference number during the AT game has reached 250). Then, the lamp 21 is turned on or blinked in a predetermined pattern, a predetermined sound is output from the speaker 22, and a predetermined effect image is displayed on the image display device 23.
Thereby, in accordance with the output timing of the external signal 2, it is possible to output an effect indicating that the difference number during the AT game has reached 250.

Here, each time the difference number is calculated, information indicating the calculated difference number may be transmitted from the main control unit 50 to the sub-control unit 80.
Further, each time a game is performed, information indicating the difference number in the game may be transmitted from the main control unit 50 to the sub-control unit 80.

Then, the sub-control unit 80 counts the difference number during the AT game based on the received information indicating the difference number. When the counted difference number reaches 250, the effect control unit 83 determines the difference number. Alternatively, the lamp 21 may be lit or blinked in a pattern, a predetermined sound may be output from the speaker 22, or a predetermined effect image may be displayed on the image display device 23.
Even in this case, in accordance with the output timing of the external signal 2, it is possible to output an effect indicating that the difference number during the AT game has reached 250.

The external signal control means 71 sets the condition P3 that the number of games counted by the push order incorrect answer counter 71b has reached M3 (M3 ≧ 2). When the condition P3 is satisfied, the external signal control means 71 counts the difference counter 71d. Reset the value.
Specifically, in this embodiment, M3 = 2 is set. Then, when the count value of the push order incorrect answer counter 71b reaches “0”, the external signal control means 71 determines that the number of games counted by the push order incorrect answer counter 71b has reached “2”. It is determined that the condition P3 is satisfied, and the count value of the difference sheet counter 71d is reset.

FIG. 17 is a time chart showing output patterns of the external signals 1 to 4.
When the condition P1 is satisfied, the external signal control means 71 starts outputting the external signal 1 (transition frequency signal) (from OFF to ON) and simultaneously starts outputting the external signals 3 and 4 (AT signal). The output of the external signal 2 (difference number signal) is started after the elapse of a predetermined time T1 (1,500 ms) from the start of the output of these signals.
Further, the external signal control means 71 continues the output until the condition P2 or the condition P3 is satisfied for the external signals 1 and 2 and remains ON until the condition P3 is satisfied for the external signals 3 and 4. .

Furthermore, when the condition P2 is satisfied, the external signal control means 71 terminates the output of the external signal 1 (from ON to OFF), and at the same time interrupts the output of the external signal 2 and starts a predetermined time T2 (1 , 000 ms), the output of the external signal 2 is resumed. Thereafter, every time the condition P2 is satisfied, the external signal control means 71 interrupts the output of the external signal 2 and restarts the output of the external signal 2 after a predetermined time T2 has elapsed from the interruption.
Further, the external signal control means 71 ends the output of the external signals 1 to 4 when the condition P3 is satisfied.

  Here, when the AT game is completed when the number of acquired games (total number of difference) during the AT game is less than 250, the condition P3 is satisfied without satisfying the condition P2. In this case, the external signal control means 71 ends all outputs of the external signals 1 to 4 simultaneously when the condition P3 is satisfied.

On the other hand, when the acquired number of games in the AT game exceeds 250, the condition P3 is satisfied after the condition P2 is satisfied. In this case, since the external signal control means 71 ends the output of the external signal 1 when the condition P2 is satisfied, when the condition P3 is satisfied, the output of the external signal 1 has already ended at that time. Therefore, the three outputs of the external signals 2 to 4 are finished simultaneously.
As described above, in the present embodiment, the external signal control means 71 on the main control means 50 side determines the AT game start time, the number of acquired medals during the AT game (total number of differences), and the end time. The outputs of external signals 1 to 4 are controlled.

Further, in the present embodiment, even if an MB is won during an AT game and a transition is made to an MB game, the sub game state control means 81 continues counting the number of digest games of the AT game, and the external signal control means 71 The counting of the difference sheet is continued without resetting the count value of the difference sheet counter 71d.
During the MB game, two medals are inserted, and the bell 01 or 02 (both two are paid out) frequently wins, and almost every game, two medals are paid out. In other words, during the MB game, almost every game is two payouts of two inserted. For this reason, during the MB game, the count value of the difference number counter 71d hardly increases or decreases, so even if the difference number count is continued, the condition P2 is not satisfied. Therefore, the output of the external signal 2 is interrupted and resumed. I don't have to. When the number of medals paid out during the MB game becomes 44 or more, the MB game is terminated and the game shifts to a normal game.

In addition, as described above, in the present embodiment, since the count of the number of digest games of the AT game continues during the MB game, the AT game may end during the MB game. If the AT game does not end during the MB game, the AT game is continuously executed until the AT game end condition is satisfied even in the normal game after the MB game ends.
Furthermore, when the AT game ends during the MB game or the normal game after the MB game ends, the condition P3 is eventually satisfied. At this time, the external signal control means 71 resets the count value of the difference sheet counter 71d and ends the output of the external signals 1 to 4.

  In addition, after the end of the AT game, the next AT game may be started before the condition P3 is satisfied. In this case, since the condition P3 is not satisfied, the output of the external signals 1 to 4 is continued, and the count value of the difference counter 71d is not reset, so that the external signal control means 71 continues the AT game. As a result of (continuous change), control for outputting an external signal is continued.

Note that the count value of the push order correct answer counter 71a when the external signals 1 to 4 are output, that is, M1 may be “2” or more, and is not limited to “2”.
Further, the count value of the difference sheet counter 71d when the external signal 2 is output, that is, M2 is not limited to “250” and can be set as appropriate.
Furthermore, the count value of the push order incorrect answer counter 71b when the output of the external signals 1 to 4 is ended and the count value of the difference counter 71d is reset may be “0” or less, and “0”. It is not limited to. That is, M3 may be “2” or more, and is not limited to “2”.

Next, the flow of processing for outputting an external signal will be described based on a flowchart.

In step S51 of FIG. 18, the external signal control means 71 determines whether or not an external signal is being output (ON). If it is determined that the external signal is not ON (OFF), the process proceeds to the next step S52. On the other hand, when it is determined that the external signal is ON, the process proceeds to step S61 in FIG.

In step S61 of FIG. 19, the external signal control means 71 determines whether or not the second replay is won. If it is determined that the second replay has been won, the process proceeds to the next step S62. On the other hand, when it is determined that the second replay is not won, the process proceeds to step S67.
In step S62, the external signal control means 71 determines whether or not the replay 01 has been won (win by irregular pressing). If it is determined that the replay 01 has not been won (the replay 02 has been won at the first left stop), the process proceeds to the next step S63. On the other hand, when it is determined that the replay 01 has been won, the process proceeds to step S69.

In step S63, the external signal control means 71 subtracts “1” from the count value of the push order incorrect answer counter 71b. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S64.
In step S64, the external signal control means 71 determines whether or not the count value of the push order incorrect answer counter 71b is “0”. If it is determined that the value is “0”, the process proceeds to the next step S65. On the other hand, when it is determined that it is not “0”, the process proceeds to step S70.

In step S65, the external signal control means 71 ends the output of the external signals 1 to 4 (from ON to OFF). Then, the process proceeds to next Step S66.

Here, when it is determined that the correct answers have been made in the order of pressing, the process proceeds to the next step S69. On the other hand, when it is determined that the correct answer has not been obtained in the push order (the push order is incorrect), the process proceeds to step S63.

In step S69, the external signal control means 71 resets the count value of the push order incorrect answer counter 71b (sets the initial value “2”). Then, the process proceeds to next Step S70.

In step S71 of FIG. 20, the external signal control means 71 determines whether or not a replay prize has been won. If it is determined that no replay prize has been awarded, the process proceeds to the next step S72. On the other hand, when it is determined that a replay prize has been won, the processing according to this flowchart is terminated.
In step S72, the external signal control means 71 calculates the difference number by subtracting the inserted number from the number of medals paid out in the game. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S73.
In step S73, the external signal control means 71 adds the difference number calculated in step S73 to the count value of the difference number counter 71d. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S74.

In step S74, the external signal control means 71 determines whether or not the count value of the difference sheet counter 71d is “−1” or less. If it is determined that it is not equal to or less than “−1”, the process proceeds to the next step S75.

On the other hand, when it is determined that it is not “250” or more, the process proceeds to step S78.

In step S76, the external signal control means 71 terminates the output of the external signal 1 (from ON to OFF) and at the same time interrupts the output of the external signal 2, and after a predetermined time T2 (1,000 ms) has elapsed since the interruption, Resume output of signal 2. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S77.
In step S77, the external signal control means 71 subtracts “250” from the count value of the difference sheet counter 71d. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S78.

In step S78, the external signal control means 71 stores the count value of the difference sheet counter 71d in the RAM. And the process by this flowchart is complete | finished.
In step S79, the external signal control means 71 determines whether or not the count value of the difference sheet counter 71d is less than “−255”. If it is determined that the value is less than “−255”, the process proceeds to the next step S80. On the other hand, when it is determined that it is not less than “−255”, the process proceeds to step S78.
In step S80, the external signal control means 71 resets the count value of the difference sheet counter 71d (sets the initial value “0”). Then, the process proceeds to step S78.

As mentioned above, although one Embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to embodiment mentioned above, The following various deformation | transformation are possible.
(1) In the first embodiment, the external signal control means 71 sets the condition C2 that the number of games counted by the game number counter 71c reaches N2, and corrects in the pushing order at the time of winning the pushing order bell, and satisfies the condition C2. The external signal 2 was output every time.
However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when the number of games counted by the number-of-games counter 71c reaches N2, the external signal control means 71 does not need to answer correctly in the order of pushing at the time of winning the pushing order bell. It may be determined that the condition C2 is satisfied, and the external signal 2 (continuation count signal) may be output.

That is, the condition C2 may be that the number of games counted by the game number counter 71c has reached N2.
FIG. 21 is a time chart showing output patterns of the external signals 1 to 4 when the condition C2 is that the number of games counted by the game number counter 71c has reached N2.

(2) In the first embodiment, when the external signal control means 71 outputs (turns on) the external signal 1 (transition frequency signal) and the external signal 2 (continuation frequency signal), the condition C2 or the condition C3 is satisfied. The output was continued until it was turned on.
However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as shown in the time chart of FIG. May be terminated (from ON to OFF). That is, the external signal 1 may be a pulse signal having a pulse width of 3,000, for example.
In this case, in order to prevent malfunction of the game history display device 110, it is preferable to end the output of the external signal 1 after a predetermined time (for example, 1,500 ms) has elapsed since the start of the output of the external signal 2.

Further, for example, as shown in the time chart of FIG. 23, the external signal control unit 71 may end the output of the external signal 2 after a predetermined time (for example, 1,500 ms) has elapsed since the start of the output of the external signal 2. Good. That is, the external signal 2 may be a pulse signal having a pulse width of 1,500 ms, for example.
In this case, in order to prevent malfunction of the game history display device 110, it is preferable to output the external signal 2 after a predetermined time (for example, 1,000 ms) has elapsed since the end of the output of the external signal 1.
For example, as shown in the time chart of FIG. 24, both the external signals 1 and 2 may be pulse signals.
Also in the second embodiment, as described above, the external signal 1 (transition number signal) and / or the external signal 2 (difference number signal) may be a pulse signal.

  (3) In the above embodiment, there are cases where an advantageous game result can be obtained depending on the pushing order of the stop switch 42, and cases where an advantageous game result cannot be obtained, and during the AT game, the pushing order of the stop switch 42 that is advantageous to the player is set. By notifying, the player can obtain an advantageous game result by operating the stop switch 42 in accordance with the notified pressing order. That is, the so-called “push order AT” was set.

However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, there are cases where an advantageous game result can be obtained depending on the operation timing of the stop switch 42, and cases where an advantageous game result cannot be obtained. By notifying (such as a symbol aimed at the active line), the player may be able to obtain an advantageous game result by operating the stop switch 42 according to the notification. In other words, a so-called “mesh AT” may be used.
In addition, an advantageous game result can be obtained when both conditions of pushing order and operation timing are satisfied. During an AT game, the pushing order and operation timing of the stop switch 42 that are advantageous to the player are set. You may make it alert | report.

(4) In the above embodiment, among the first to 56th bells (pushing order bells), when the first or 38th bells are won, the first left stop is in the correct pushing order, but other bells are won. Occasionally, the first left stop was set to be in the wrong answer pressing order.
However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the 1st to 56th bells are won, the first left stop may be set so as to always be in the wrong answer pressing order. In other words, when the stop switch 42 is operated in the first left stop, the bell 01 or 02 may not be awarded when the pushing order bell is won.

  When the push order bell is selected, the first left stop is set to always be in the incorrect answer push order (the irregular push is always the correct push order), and the stop switch 42 is operated by the irregular push during the non-AT game. Sometimes, by giving a penalty to the player, during non-AT gaming, if the player operates the stop switch 42 with the first stop on the left, the output of the external signals 1 to 4 can be more accurately performed. Can be done.

That is, the result of lottery by the part lottery means 61 is biased, and the actual winning frequency of each part may be different from the winning probability set in the part lottery table 62. For this reason, if a push order bell in which the first left stop is the correct push order is set, the actual winning frequency of this push order bell may be higher than the winning probability set in the winning lottery table 62.
In addition, when a push order bell is set in which the first stop on the left is the correct push order, the push order bell may be won a plurality of times in succession.

In such a case, there is a difference between the start timing of the AT game on the sub control means 80 side and the count start timing of the push order correct answer counter 71a on the main control means 50 side, or the actual time during the AT game There may be a difference between the number of games and the number of games counted by the game number counter 71c, or there may be a difference between the actual difference number during the AT game and the difference number counted by the difference number counter 71d. is there.
Therefore, if the left first stop is always in the wrong answer pressing order when the push order bell is won, and if the player operates the stop switch 42 with the first left stop during non-AT games, Therefore, the external signals 1 to 4 can be output more accurately.

  (5) In the first embodiment, the push order correct answer counter 71a sets “0” as an initial value, “3” as an upper limit value, and sets the count value to “1” every time the push order is correctly answered in the push order bell win. When the count value of the push order incorrect answer counter 71b becomes “2”, the count value is reset (initial value “0” is set).

However, the initial value is not limited to “0” and can be variously set.
Further, the upper limit value is not limited to “3” and can be variously set. Moreover, it is not necessary to set an upper limit value.
Furthermore, the count operation is not limited to the case where the count value is incremented by “1” but can be variously set, for example, by subtracting the count value by “1”.

Furthermore, the reset condition is not limited to when the count value of the push order incorrect answer counter 71b becomes “2”, and various reset conditions can be set.
Similarly, the initial value, the upper limit value, the count operation, and the reset condition can be set in the same manner for the push order incorrect answer counter 71b, the game number counter 71c, and the difference number counter 71d.

(6) In the second embodiment, the external signal control means 71 includes a push order correct answer counter 71a, a push order incorrect answer counter 71b, and a difference number counter 71d, and the difference number counted by the difference number counter during the AT game. Is controlled to output an external signal 2 (difference number signal) every time the number reaches 250.
Here, in place of the difference number counter 71b, a payout number counter for counting the number of medals to be paid out after the push order correct answer counter 71 starts counting can be provided. And, the external signal control means 71 counts with the payout number counter. The condition P2 is that the number of payouts reached M2 (for example, 250), and a payout number signal (external signal 2) relating to the payout number of medals may be output every time the condition P2 is satisfied.

  (7) In this embodiment, when a specific freeze (reverse rotation freeze) occurs, or during a special game, a replay in which three “red 7” s are aligned on a straight line and five “red 7” are V-shaped. When the number of times the watermelons in line with the stop are displayed more than a predetermined number (three times), the player has the right to execute an AT game as a privilege for the player, or has the right to execute an AT game already stored. If so, the number of AT game execution rights stored (stock number) was added (added).

However, the benefits for the player are not limited to granting the right to execute AT games and adding the number of reserves. For example, the winning probability of AT lottery may be increased, or the number of remaining games of AT games may be added (added). .
Further, for example, when a specific freeze (reverse rotation freeze) occurs during an AT game, the number of remaining AT games may be added (added) as a benefit to the player.

(8) For example, freezes of a plurality of patterns having different durations and operation modes are set.
Specifically, the progress of the game is stopped for 1 second, while the freeze A causes the three reels 31 to vibrate in the meantime, the progress of the game is stopped for 3 seconds, and the three reels 31 are simultaneously reversely rotated during that time. Freeze B, the progress of the game is stopped for 5 seconds, and during that time, freeze C is set to reversely rotate the reel 31 in the order of left → middle → right.

And even if freeze A occurs, no benefits are given to the player, but when freeze B occurs, the right to execute an AT game with 50 games as one set is granted and freeze C occurs. At that time, the execution right of the AT game with 100 games as one set is granted.
Thus, the size of the privilege to be given to the player may be varied according to the mode of freezing.

(9) In this embodiment, the AT game start conditions are set as winning in the AT lottery, winning and winning white 7, and the occurrence of reverse rotation freezing.
However, these are merely examples, and various AT game start conditions can be set.

(10) In this embodiment, when winning the replay group C by the role lottery means 61 during the AT game, a special game lottery is performed, and when winning in the special game lottery, “red 7” is aligned from the next game. The special game which gives a privilege to a player according to the number of times that is stopped is started. When the predetermined number of games (10 games) is consumed during the special game, the special game is terminated.
However, the conditions for performing the special game lottery, the conditions for starting the special game, the conditions for ending the special game, and the conditions for granting the privilege are merely examples, and are not limited thereto.

For example, conditions for performing a special game lottery, such as winning a specific role by the role lottery means 61 during AT games, winning a specific role, or appearing a specific stopout, Various start conditions can be set.
In addition, for example, when the player presses the reverse, the size of the privilege to be given to the player can be made different according to the number of winning combinations and the number of winnings that can be displayed with the “Red 7” assortment stopped.
Furthermore, for example, the special game can be ended when the number of wins and the number of winnings for a specific combination in the special game are equal to or greater than a predetermined number.

(11) In the present embodiment, during the special game, the notification control means 82 is selected when a replay is selected in which three “red 7” s can be aligned on a straight line when pressed backward, and “red 7” is displayed when pressed backwards. In both cases, when the replay that can be tempered, but the three are not aligned, was notified that the stop switch 42 should be operated by reverse pressing.
However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, during the special game, the notification control means 82 pushes the stop switch 42 in the reverse direction when three “red 7” s are arranged in a straight line when they are pushed backward. Notify that the operation should be performed by pressing the stop switch 42 in reverse when the replay is selected. Also good.

  (12) In this embodiment, when a replay is won in a non-internal game, the replay wins in any push order, but the combination of symbols that stop at the active line L differs depending on the push order. For example, when the eleventh replay is won in the non-inner middle game, the symbol combination corresponding to the replay 10 at the first left stop, and the symbol combination corresponding to the replay 14 at the first middle stop is the first right stop. Sometimes a combination of symbols corresponding to the replay 24 can be stopped on the active line L.

  However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when a replay is won in a non-internal medium game, “RP1 / RP2 / RP3” − “RP1 / RP2 / RP3 "-" RP1 / RP2 / RP3 "may stop at the effective line L. That is, when a replay is won in a non-internal middle game, the “cherry” of the left reel 31 does not stop in the middle stage even if the stop switch 42 is operated in the first left stop. Even if 42 is operated, the three “red 7” s may not be aligned on a straight line.

  (13) In the present embodiment, in the game won in the replay group C, the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay 14 is always stopped on the active line L when the stop switch 42 is operated with the middle first stop. did. However, if it does in this way, it will become clear to the expert that it is the game which won the replay which can stop-display "cherry" by the left first stop.

  Therefore, for example, the replay 01 is repeatedly won for all replays. And in the game won for replay, when the stop switch 42 is operated in a pressing order other than the first left stop and reverse pressing, that is, the stop switch in a pressing order other than the pressing order in which a characteristic stop appearance may appear. When 42 is operated, “RP1 / RP2 / RP3” − “RP1 / RP2 / RP3” − “RP1 / RP2 / RP3” corresponding to the replay 01 is always stopped on the active line L. As a result, it is possible to prevent the skilled person from knowing that the game has been won by the replay in which a characteristic stop appearance may appear.

(14) In the present embodiment, the freeze control means 70 is a game next to a game in which a stop appearance where “red 7” — “red 7” — “red 7” are aligned on a straight line appears, and the replay group A or C When the group was selected, it was controlled to execute freeze every time each stop switch 42 was operated at an operation timing at which the reverse push and “red 7” could be stopped.
Then, in the next game after the game where a stop appearance where “red 7”-“red 7”-“red 7” are aligned on a straight line, when the replay group A or group C is won, the reverse switch is pressed to stop the switch. When “42” was operated but “red 7” was not the operation timing at which stop display was possible, control was performed so as not to execute the freeze.

  However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in the case of a game next to a game in which a stop appearance in which “Red 7” − “Red 7” − “Red 7” are aligned on a straight line appears, and the player is elected to Replay Group A or Group C. In this case, when the stop switch 42 is operated by reverse pressing, control may be performed so as to execute the freeze regardless of whether or not “red 7” is the operation timing at which stop display is possible.

  In addition, for example, when the next game after a game in which a stop game where “red 7”-“red 7”-“red 7” are aligned on a straight line appears, the game is frozen when the replay group A or group C is won. On the condition that it is decided whether to perform the freeze or not, and the freeze is executed each time the stop switch 42 is operated at an operation timing at which “Red 7” can be stopped and displayed. You may control to do.

  Furthermore, for example, in the next game of a game in which “Red 7”-“Red 7”-“Red 7” are aligned on a straight line, and the player has won the replay group A or group C, the freeze is given. Decide whether to execute. When it is decided to execute the freeze, if the stop switch 42 is operated by reverse pressing, the freeze is executed regardless of whether or not “red 7” is the operation timing at which stop display is possible. You may control to.

  In addition, for example, the game after the game in which a stop game where “red 7”-“red 7”-“red 7” are aligned on a straight line appears, and the replay A group or the C group including the replay 23 is won. When the stop switch 42 is operated at the operation timing at which the reverse play and the replay 23 can win a prize, the freeze may be executed. Thus, by making the winning of a specific role a freezing execution condition, it is possible to reduce the possibility that a freezing that is not intended in the design will occur.

(15) In the present embodiment, the effect control unit 83 varies the probabilities of determining the number of notifications less than the count value of the execution right counter 81a according to the count value of the execution right counter 81a.
However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the effect control unit 83 determines the same number of notifications as the count value of the execution right counter 81a with a certain probability regardless of the count value of the execution right counter 81a, and also executes the execution right counter. The number of notifications less than the count value of 81a may be determined with a certain probability.

(16) In the present embodiment, the effect control means 83 is the number suggesting effects 1A to 1E that suggest the number “1”, the number suggesting effects 2A to 2E that suggest the number “2”, and the number that suggests the number “3”. Twenty-five types of suggestion effects 3A to 3E, number suggestion effects 4A to 4E indicating the number “4”, and number suggestion effects 5A to 5E indicating the number “5” are provided.
However, the number, type, and content of the number suggesting effects are merely examples, and can be set as appropriate.

(17) In this embodiment, the production control means 83 determines the number of notifications equal to or less than the count value of the execution right counter 81a every time an AT game starts, and counts the notification number counter 83a during the execution of the AT game. Based on the value, the number suggesting effect was selected and output.
However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the effect control unit 83 determines the number of notifications equal to or less than the count value of the execution right counter 81a at the start of the first AT game after the execution right counter 81a starts counting, and executes the execution right counter. Control may be performed so that the number suggestion effect is selected and output based on the count value of the notification number counter 83a until the last AT game after the count start of 81a ends.

  That is, when the AT game is continued a plurality of times (continuous change), the number of notifications equal to or less than the count value of the execution right counter 81a is determined at the start of the first AT game, and the last AT game ends. The number suggestion effect may be selected and output based on the count value of the notification number counter 83a without re-determining or adding the notification number.

(18) In the present embodiment, when the count value of the notification number counter 83a is “1” or more, the effect control means 83 determines whether or not to output a number suggestion effect at the time of operation of each game and start switch 41. The production output lottery to decide was performed. Further, according to the setting value stored in the setting value storage means 60a, the winning probability of the effect output lottery is set to be different. Specifically, the higher the set value, the higher the winning probability of the production output lottery.
However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the winning probability of the effect output lottery may be set to be the same regardless of the set value. That is, the output frequency of the number suggestion effect may be set to be the same regardless of the set value.

  In addition, each modification of said (1)-(18) is not restricted to the case where it applies individually, respectively, These can also be combined suitably and can be applied.
