Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable a main control means side to accurately grasp timing of starting and ending an AT game when a sub control means side manages the AT game.SOLUTION: Sub control means 80, when executing an AT game, sets an initial value to a count value of a sub counter 82a. The sub control means 80 orders an operation of a stop switch 42 in a prescribed operation x1 (a pressing order for adding the count value of a main counter 70a) in a replay winning game. Main control means 50 adds the count value of the main counter 70a when the stop switch 42 is operated in the prescribed operation x1 in the replay winning game. The sub control means 80 orders a prescribed operation of adding or subtracting the count value of the main counter 70a in the replay winning game, on the basis of a difference in the count value between the main counter 70a and the sub counter 82a.

Description

  The present invention relates to a slot machine that causes a main control means to correctly perform an operation based on execution of a specific game when executing a specific game that is advantageous to a player.

  In a conventional slot machine, when it is determined by lottery or the like whether or not to execute an AT game on the sub-control means side, as a method of transmitting an outer end signal in accordance with the execution of the AT game on the main control means side, The following methods are known.

For example, when an AT game is executed, the sub-control means informs of a specific pressing order on the image display device at the time of winning the unquestioned pressing replay in a plurality of games. The main control means is based on the execution of the AT game when the stop switch is operated in the specific pressing order when the replay is selected in the plurality of times in the plurality of games (determining that the AT game has been executed). An outer end signal is transmitted to the outside (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
<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 means (game control means) 50 and a sub control means (effect control means) 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 signals and information (commands) necessary for production output are transmitted from the main control means 50 to the sub control means 80 in one direction. It is formed so that.

  As shown in FIG. 1, on the input side (left side in FIG. 1) of the main control means 50, a bet switch 40, a start switch 41, and (left , Middle, right) The stop switch 42 is electrically connected.

  The bet switch 40 is a switch operated when the player inserts a stored medal for the game. In the present embodiment, it is set to play three medals in any gaming state, and three medals are inserted by operating the bet switch 40. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a bet switch 40 for one bet or two bets may be provided.

  The medal slot 43 is a part where a player inserts an actual medal. When a medal is inserted from the medal slot 43, the medal slot 43 is detected by a sensor or the like. Therefore, the insertion of medals 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.

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 the present embodiment, for each reel 31, 21 symbol display areas are arranged at equal intervals (the number of symbol frames is 21), and each symbol display area has a predetermined value. The symbol is displayed.

  Although not shown, each reel 31 is provided with one (or two or more) indexes. The index is provided in a convex shape on, for example, the circumferential side surface of the reel 31 and is used when detecting whether the reel 31 has passed a predetermined position, whether it has made one rotation, or the like. A sensor (not shown) for detecting each index is provided. When the index detects (cuts) this sensor, it is detected that the reel 31 has passed a predetermined position.

  In addition, a correspondence relationship with a symbol positioned at a reference position (for example, the middle stage) in the display window 11 at the moment when the index of the reel 31 is detected is stored in advance. Thereby, the position of the symbol at the reference position in the display window 11 at the moment when the index is detected can be detected.

  FIG. 3 is a view showing the positional relationship between the display window (transparent window) 11 provided on the front mask portion (front door, not shown) of the slot machine 10 and each reel 31. 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 windows 11 of the slot machine 10 are arranged so that a total of 3 × 3 = 9 symbols can be seen.

  In this specification, in FIG. 3, the position where the “RP” symbol of the left reel 31, the “watermelon” symbol of the middle reel 31, and the “cherry” symbol of the right reel 31 are indicated as “upper row”. ”, The position where the symbol“ 7 ”of the left, middle and right reels 31 is stopped is called“ middle stage ”, the symbol“ cherry ”of the left reel 31, the symbol“ RP ”of the middle reel 31, The position where the “bell” symbol of the right reel 31 is stopped is referred to as “lower stage”.

In the display window 11, a line passing through each symbol of the left, middle, and right reels 31 becomes one symbol combination line. 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, 10 of the symbol combination lines are set as active lines. 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.

  In particular, the effective line passing through the upper symbol of the middle reel 31 is one of “upper (left reel 31)” — “upper (middle reel 31)” — “upper (right reel 31)”. Further, nine effective lines passing through the middle symbol of the middle reel 31 are shown in FIG. Note that an effective line passing through the lower symbol of the middle reel 31 is not provided.

  Of the symbol combination lines, those other than the valid lines are invalid lines. Here, the “invalid line” is a line that is not set as an effective line among the symbol combination lines, and even if the symbol combination corresponding to any symbol is stopped on 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 of combination of symbols in the first place.

The valid line and the invalid line are set according to the number of medals inserted, the game state, and the like, but in this embodiment, the medals are set to always play with three medals inserted. And 10 always becomes an effective line.
The number of medals inserted is not limited to this, and may be one or two. Moreover, according to the number of inserted medals, the gaming state, etc., the types and number of valid lines and invalid lines among the symbol combination lines may be set.

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 is composed of a liquid crystal display, an organic EL display, a dot display, and the like, and various effect images during the game (effect images during freeze, to be described later, push order during the AT game, A display corresponding to a lottery result), game information, and the like (the number of games and the number of acquired games of an AT game described later) are displayed.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the types of combinations (combinations drawn by the combination lottery means 61 described later), the number of payouts, and combinations of symbols in the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 4, special combinations, small combinations, and replays are provided as combinations.

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 this specification, “the combination of symbols corresponding to any of the combinations stops at any of the effective lines” is referred to as “the combination wins”.

  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) 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 combinations include BB (first type big bonus), RB (regular bonus), and SB (single bonus), but are not provided in this embodiment.
In addition, special games that are shifted by winning special roles include games that have a higher payout rate than normal games and are advantageous to the player, and special games that do not aim to increase medals.
Here, the MB of this embodiment is for the purpose of creating a gaming state that is won by the MB. The MB is won and transferred to the MB game, and the player's medal is increased by the MB game. It is not a direct purpose.

  The small role is a role in which a predetermined number of medals are paid out. In the present embodiment, the small role is roughly divided into small roles 1 to 3 and a combination of predetermined symbols for each small role. Is set. Note that “ANY” in the small role 1 and the small role 3A means that any symbol may be used.

The small combination 3 includes three types of small combinations 3A to 3C. Here, according to the pressing order of the stop switch 42, the small role 3B and the small role 3C determine which effective line the combination of symbols “ANY”-“Bell”-“ANY” as the small role 3A is stopped. It is a small role having a role as a “control role” for controlling, and is not intended for winning a prize. This point will be described later.
Furthermore, the replay is a re-playing role that allows the re-playing while maintaining the number of medals inserted in the 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. .
As a part carried over, MB which is a special part is listed. 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 to stop so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination can be stopped (winning) on the active line. Regardless, at the end of the game, the right to the winning role 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 (freeze described later). Except when running). 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 when the operation acceptance of the stop switch 42 is valid, thereby causing the reel 31 corresponding to the stop switch 42 (for example, the left reel 31 corresponding to the left stop switch 42). ) Is stopped.

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 means 50 (specifically, the reel control means 64) receives this signal, it drives and controls the motor 32 corresponding to the stop switch 42, and performs stop control of the reel 31 related to the motor 32.
When all the reels 31 are stopped, when a combination of symbols corresponding to any of the winning combinations stops on the active line (that is, when winning the winning combination), a medal corresponding to the winning combination is paid out. Is called.

Here, in the present embodiment, a normal game and a special game are provided as game states controlled on the main control means 50 side. The “special game” corresponds to an MB game in the present embodiment. The “normal game” means a game other than a special game, and a non-internal game and an internal game are provided.
Further, in the case of an internal game, the sub-control means 80, which will be described later, determines whether to execute an AT game (lottery) and controls the transition between non-AT games, AT preparations, and AT games. . Therefore, an AT game is not executed during a non-inside game.

Here, AT (assist time) game is a predetermined operation of the stop switch 42 (to obtain an advantageous game result) that is advantageous to the player (push order or operation timing (designs aimed at the effective line, etc.)) A game that informs
Therefore, when an AT game is executed, a role having a case where an advantageous game result can be obtained by a predetermined operation of the stop switch 42 is provided.

During non-AT games, an advantageous game result can be obtained only by chance. However, during an AT game, if the player operates the stop switch 42 with a predetermined operation in accordance with the notification, the most advantageous game result is obtained. For example, the most advantageous symbol combination can be stopped at the active line.
Note that the AT game of the present embodiment relates to the pressing order, and notifies the pressing order for the combination of symbols corresponding to the selected small combination 3A to be the most advantageous stop mode.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the main control means 50 includes the following combination lottery means 61 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 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 generation means (hardware random number, etc.) for a role lottery, a random number extraction means for extracting a random number generated by the random number generation means, and a random value extracted by the random number extraction means. 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, for example, a random number for which the 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, when the extracted random number value belongs to the MB winning area, it is determined as MB winning, and when it belongs to the non-winning area, it is determined as non-winning.

  The combination lottery table 62 defines the types of combinations to be selected and the winning probability of each combination. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing types of winning combinations and winning probabilities for each gaming state. Each combination lottery table 62 has a predetermined range of lottery areas. The lottery area is divided into a winning area and a non-winning area for each combination, and the winning combination has a predetermined winning probability. It is set to a predetermined ratio so that

  First, in the non-internal middle game, all the combinations including the MB which is a special combination are drawn. On the other hand, MB is not drawn in the middle game and MB game. In other words, once the MB is won and the inside is inside, MBs are not drawn until the MB game based on the winning is finished.

In FIG. 5, “+” means that the game is won simultaneously in the game. For example, “small combination 3A + 3B + 3C” means that these three small combinations 3A to 3C win simultaneously in the game.
Although not exemplified in the present embodiment, for example, when a special combination (MB) and a small combination or replay are won, or when a plurality of types of replays are provided and these replays are set to be selected simultaneously Of course it is good.

In addition, the replay is set so as to be won with a relatively high probability (in this embodiment, 1 / 2.1) in the game in the inside. On the other hand, it is about 1/7 in the non-inside medium game and the MB game.
Here, in the non-internal middle game of the present embodiment, the MB is set to win with a probability of 1/8. However, when the MB is won and the game becomes an internal middle game, the non-internal middle game The winning area of MB is replaced with the winning area of replay.

Specifically, in the winning lottery table 62 in the non-internal middle game, the MB winning probability is set to 1/8, and the replay winning probability is set to 1 / 7.3. % Is set.
In the internal lottery table 62, the winning area for the replay in the non-internal middle game becomes the winning area for the replay as it is, and the non-winning area for the role in the non-internal middle game is replaced with the winning area for the replay. The winning area of MB is replaced with the winning area of replay.

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, each of the winning flags 63a for the MB, the small role 1, the small role 2, the small roles 3A to 3C, and the replay is provided so as to correspond to the winning combination. 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 winning the small combination 1, the winning flag 63a related to the small combination 1 is turned on, and the winning flags 63a of the other combinations remain off.

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 related to the selected special role is turned on, the ON state is kept until the special role is won. It is maintained and turned off when the special role wins.

For example, when the MB is won in the game, the MB winning flag 63a is turned on. When the MB is not won in the game, the winning flag 63a related to the MB is kept on. When the small game 3A + 3B is won in the next game (internal game), the winning flag 63a of the small role 3A and the small role 3B is turned on in addition to the winning flag 63a related to the already-on MB. If the MB is not won at the end of the game, the winning flag 63a for the MB is kept on, and the winning flags 63a for the small roles 3A and 3B are turned off.
Thus, the number of winning flags 63a that are turned on is not limited to one.

  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 (except when freezing is executed).

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 lottery is performed, the rotation of the reel 31 is not started at the moment (immediately after) the start switch 41 is operated, and the rotation of the reel 31 is started 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”.
In this embodiment, the freeze and the weight generated when the start switch 41 is operated are different.

  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 within the range of the amount of rotation of the reel 31 (the number of moving symbols) from the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated until the reel 31 actually stops. In this embodiment, the number of moving symbols from the symbol at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated is within 4 symbols (within 5 symbols including the symbol at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated), in other words, the stop switch 42 is The time from the moment when the reel 31 is operated until the reel 31 stops is set within 190 ms.

  As a result, when any of the symbols within the range of the stop control of the reel 31 counted from the symbol at the moment when the operation of the stop switch 42 is detected is a symbol to be stopped on the effective line, the stop switch 42 is operated. When that happens, the symbol is controlled to stop at the active 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, the reel 31 stopping control is performed when the reel 31 stops when the symbol related to the winning winning combination does not stop on the effective line. By controlling the rotational movement of the reel 31 within the range, the symbol related to the winning combination is controlled so as to be stopped on the effective line as much as possible.

  Conversely, if the reel 31 is stopped immediately at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated, if the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination is stopped on the effective line, the reel 31 is stopped when the reel 31 is stopped. By controlling the rotational movement of the reel 31 within the range of 31 stop control, the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination is controlled so as not to stop on the effective line.

  The above “from the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated until the reel 31 actually stops” is based on the assumption that the operation acceptance of the stop switch 42 is valid. Therefore, since the operation acceptance of the stop switch 42 is invalid during the freeze or wait, even if the stop switch 42 is operated during the freeze or wait, the stop control of the reel 31 is not executed.

  In addition, when the winning combination 63a for the special role and the small role or the replay is on, priority is given to stopping the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role or the replay to the active line, and the symbol corresponding to the small role or the replay is displayed. When the combination cannot be stopped on the active line, control is then performed to stop the combination of symbols corresponding to the special combination on the active line. Therefore, the special combination and the small combination or the replay do not win multiple times (at the same time in the game).

  Therefore, for example, when an MB is won and an internal game is played, when the game is replayed, both the MB and replay winning flags 63a are turned on. Takes precedence.

Further, the reel control means 64 includes a push order detection means 64a.
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 this embodiment, the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is
a) When detecting which of the three types of the first left stop, the first middle stop, and the first right stop,
b) When detecting which of six types of left middle right, left and right middle, middle left and right, middle right left, right left middle, and right middle left is detected.
The pushing order of the first left stop is referred to as “forward pushing”, and the pushing order of the middle or right first stop is referred to as “anomalous pushing”.

  The stop position determination table 65 is provided for each of the ON / OFF states of the winning flag 63a, and determines the stop position of the reel 31 with respect to the position of the reel 31 at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated. It is. Specifically, in each stop position determination table 65, for example, the stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when the first symbol (“cherry” in the case of the left reel 31) passes the upper stage (middle stage or lower stage is acceptable). The stop position is determined 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 the winning flag 63a of the MB (only) is ON (when the MB is won in the non-internal middle game, or when the combination is not won in the internal middle game of the MB), and the reel 31 is stopped. When the combination of symbols corresponding to MB cannot be stopped on the effective line and the combination of symbols corresponding to MB cannot be stopped on the effective line within the control range and in accordance with the pressing order of the stop switch 42, The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the combination of symbols corresponding to any combination is not stopped on the effective line.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the relationship between the pressing order of the stop switch 42 and the winning combination for the winning combination.
The MB table of the present embodiment is set so that MBs can be won on condition that the stop switch 42 is in the first right stop (irregular pressing). Therefore, at the time of the left (forward press) or middle first stop, even if the eye press is accurate, the MB is set not to win.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, the order of pressing the stop switch 42 during the non-AT game is determined to be the first left stop (forward press), and if the player makes the middle or right first stop (anomaly press) Controls to impose a penalty. For example, during a non-AT game or at the right first stop, it is possible not to perform a lottery of AT games for a predetermined number of games.

  In particular, in the present embodiment, AT games are executed only in internal games, so there is no case where the game at the time of winning the MB is an AT game. Therefore, in the game at the time of winning the MB, the player should operate the stop switch 42 with the first left stop, so that the won MB will not win.

Furthermore, in the present embodiment, in the internal medium game, the winning including the small role 3A and the winning of the replay occupy about 98%, and the winnings of the other small roles 1 and 2 account for about 2%. Therefore, it is set at a very low probability that it will not win. Therefore, the MB table is rarely used even in the internal middle game, and the MB winning condition is set as the MB first stop as described above. This makes it very rare for MBs to win even in an internal game.
In an AT game, in a game where an MB can be won (a game in which an MB table is used), in order to avoid winning an MB, the player may be instructed to make a left first stop.

  The small combination 1 table is used when the winning flag 63a of the small combination 1 (only) is on, and stops the combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination 1 on the effective line within the range of stop control of the reel 31. In addition, when the symbol combination corresponding to the small combination 1 cannot be stopped on the effective line, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the symbol combination corresponding to any combination is not stopped on the effective line. Is.

The small role 2 table and the replay table are the same as the small role 1 table. In other words, in the small role 1 table, “small role 1” is replaced with “small role 2” and “replay”, respectively.
As shown in FIG. 6, for the small combination 1, the small combination 2 and the replay, these winning combinations can be won regardless of the pressing order of the stop switch 42. However, even if the game is in the win of the small role 1, the small role 2, and the replay, during the non-AT game, there is a penalty at the middle or right first stop.

  The small role 3A + 3B table is used when the winning combination of the small role 3A + the small role 3B is made in the game, that is, when the winning flag 63a of the small role 3A and the small role 3B is ON, and the stop switch 42 is pressed. When the order is “first left stop”, when the middle reel 31 is stopped, the symbol “bell” is stopped at the middle stage, and when the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is “middle or right first stop” The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the “bell” symbol is stopped at the upper stage when the middle reel 31 is stopped.

Here, the combination of symbols of the small role 3A is “ANY”-“bell”-“ANY”, and if the symbol “bell” of the middle reel 31 stops at the middle stage (stop of the left and right reels 31). The winning combination of the small role 3A (regardless of the symbol) and the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 3A are stopped on nine active lines (see FIG. 3).
On the other hand, when the “bell” symbol of the middle reel 31 stops at the upper stage, it means that it stops at one effective line.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the small combination 3A stops at nine active lines (the “bell” symbol stops in the middle when the middle reel 31 stops), and the pushing order is the “correct answer pushing order”. The small combination 3A stops at one active line (the “bell” symbol stops at the upper stage when the middle reel 31 is stopped), and the pressing order becomes “illegal answer pressing order”.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, when winning the small role 3A, in order to make it possible for the player to understand at a glance that the small role related to the “bell” symbol has stopped on the active line, The stop position of each reel 31 is determined so that the combination of symbols “BELL”-“BELL”-“BELL” is stopped on a straight symbol combination line. It is arbitrary which line the “bell” alignment is stopped.

  Furthermore, the small role 3A + 3C table is used when the winning combination of the small role 3A + the small role 3C is made in the game, that is, when the winning flag 63a of the small role 3A and the small role 3C is turned on. When the pushing order is “medium first stop” (when the pushing order is correct), the symbol “bell” is stopped at the middle when the middle reel 31 is stopped, and the pushing order of the stop switch 42 is “left or right first”. When it is “stop” (when the pressing order is incorrect), the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the symbol “bell” is stopped at the upper stage when the middle reel 31 is stopped.

  Similarly, in the small role 3A + 3B + 3C table, when the winning combination of the small role 3A + the small role 3B + the small role 3C is made in the game, that is, when the winning flag 63a of the small role 3A, the small role 3B and the small role 3C is ON. When the stop switch 42 is pressed in the “first right stop” (in the correct pressing order), the “bell” symbol is stopped in the middle when the middle reel 31 is stopped, and the stop switch 42 is pressed. When the order is “left or middle first stop” (when the pushing order is incorrect), the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the “bell” symbol is stopped at the upper stage when the middle reel 31 is stopped. Is.

  During non-AT games, the first stop on the left is premised. Therefore, when winning the small role 3A + 3C, or when winning the small role 3A + 3B + 3C, the correct answer will be as long as there is no mistake in the operation of the stop switch 42 of the player. There is no.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the combined value of the winning probabilities including the winning of the small role 3A is set to ½. Here, the left first stop, the middle first stop, and the right first stop are not evenly assigned with a winning probability of 1/6, and the winning probability of the small role 3A + 3B in which the left first stop is in the correct pushing order is 1/12 (about 8%). On the other hand, the winning probability of the small combination 3A + 3C and the small combination 3A + 3B + 3C in which the middle or right first stop is in the correct pushing order is 10/24 (about 42%) in total.

  For this reason, during a non-AT game, the game proceeds with the first stop on the left, so that it is set so that the correct answer pressing order is only about 8% when winning the small role A. On the other hand, during the AT game, the correct pressing order is notified when the small role 3A is won, so that the correct pressing order can always be achieved by following the notified pressing order.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 2, in all the reels 31, the “bell” symbols are arranged at intervals within 5 symbols. As a result, the reel control means 64 always places the “bell” symbol at a desired position within the range of the stop control of the reel 31 regardless of the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated when the reel 31 is positioned. Can be stopped. Therefore, at the time of overlapping winning including the small role 3A, the reel control means 64 can always stop the symbol combination of “bell”-“bell”-“bell” on the desired symbol combination line.

  Even if the stop switch 42 is operated at any moment when the reel 31 is positioned, the target symbol can be stopped on a desired effective line within the range of the stop control of the reel 31 (always winning a prize). This is referred to as “retraction rate (PB) = 1”. On the other hand, the fact that the target symbol cannot be stopped on the active line unless it is determined by the player's attention (that cannot always be awarded) is referred to as “PB ≠ 1”.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, in all the reels 31, “RP” symbols are arranged at intervals of 5 symbols or less. As a result, the replay is also “PB = 1” as in the small role 3A.
Here, as will be described later, during the replay win, the player may be instructed to press irregularly during AT preparation or during AT games. Regardless of the push order, the replay is always performed. You can win a prize.

Furthermore, 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, when a winning combination is not won in a non-internal game or a special game), and combinations of symbols corresponding to any winning combination are stopped on the active line. In order to avoid this, the combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped is determined. Therefore, the non-winning table is not used inside the special role.

On the other hand, when a special role or replay is won in the internal game of a special role, that is, when the winning flag 63a related to any one special role and the winning flag 63a related to at least one small role or replay are turned on. Uses a stop position determination table 65 that prioritizes winning a small role or replay.
In the stop position determination table 65, when a small role or a replay cannot be won, a special role is awarded next. When a special role cannot be won, either of the winning points is won. The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that it does not occur.

  Here, in the present embodiment, when the replay or the small role 3A is won in the internal game of the MB, the replay or the small role 3A won in the game is selected regardless of the pressing order of any stop switch 42. The symbols of the reels 31 are arranged so that the player can always win. For this reason, in the game, even if the stop switch 42 is operated in the first right stop, the MB does not win.

Returning to FIG.
The stop symbol determining means 66 determines a symbol stopped on the active line every time each reel 31 is stopped. Further, when all the reels 31 are stopped, it is determined whether or not the symbol combination corresponding to any combination has stopped on the active line. The stop symbol determining means 66 determines the symbol on the active line by detecting the number of steps of the motor 32 after detecting the index, for example.

  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 corresponding to any of the combinations has stopped on the active line when all the reels 31 are stopped by the stop symbol determining unit 66, and when the winning combination of the combination is won, Depending on the winning combination, a predetermined number of medals are paid out to the player, or credits are added.

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.
During the normal game, when the MB is won and the symbol combination corresponding to the MB stops 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. .

Here, in the MB game of the present embodiment, the payout number is set to 20 or more.
For this reason, the special game control means 68 counts the number of medals paid out during the MB game, keeps updating the number of medals paid out for each game, and the counted number of paid-outs becomes 20 or more. When it is determined, it is determined that the MB game end condition is satisfied.

The game state control means 69 controls the transition between normal games / special games and non-internal / internal games.
FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the gaming state of the present embodiment.
The game state control means 69 wins the MB in the non-internal medium game, and when the MB is not won in the game, the game state control means 69 shifts from the next game to the internal medium game. This internal game continues until the winning MB wins. When the winning MB wins, the game state control means 69 shifts to MB game. The MB game continues until the above-mentioned MB game end condition is satisfied. When the MB game is finished, the game state control means 69 shifts the game state to a non-internal medium game.

  As described above, the MB can be awarded on condition that the pressing order is the right first stop. In addition, during the non-AT game, the right first stop is a penalty, so the player advances the game with the left first stop. For this reason, even if MB is won, in principle, the won MB will not win. Therefore, after the MB is won, the state where the MB does not win, that is, the game in the inside continues for a long time.

  In addition, although the MB winning probability can be set arbitrarily, in the present embodiment, it is set to a relatively high probability (1/8 in the example of FIG. 5). As a result, if the winning MB wins and shifts to the MB game, and the MB game ends and shifts to the non-internal medium game, the MB is won early and becomes the internal medium game.

The AT main control means 70 updates the count value of the main counter 70a, executes freeze, and executes an AT game in order to match the operation with the AT game executed on the sub-control means 80 side (slot machine) 10) and the like are controlled.
First, the count value of the main counter 70a is updated based on the lottery result of the combination, the pressing order of the stop switch 42, and the digestion of the number of games.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing the count value of the main counter 70a. The main counter 70a continues to update each game and count value based on the update value shown in FIG. 8A before executing AT start freeze described later.
For example, at the time of winning the replay, the count value is set to “−5” in the case of the first left stop (left middle right or left / right middle). Therefore, since the left first stop is the principle during non-AT games, the count value at the time of winning the replay is “−5” unless there is an operation mistake of the player's stop switch 42.

  Further, the lower limit value of the count value of the main counter 70a is set to “0”. That is, the negative value is not counted. For example, in the case where the count value at the start of the game is “0”, when the replay is won and the stop switch 42 is operated in the first left stop, the count value is “−5”. Control is performed to maintain “0”.

Furthermore, when the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is right / left middle, the update value of the count value is “0”, so the count value up to that point is maintained.
On the other hand, when the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is right middle left, the update value of the count value is “+5”.
When the small combination 3A is won, the count value is updated by “+5” when the correct answer is pressed, and the count value is updated by “−5” when the correct answer is pressed.

As described above, the main counter 70a continues to update the count value according to the winning combination and the pressing order of the stop switch 42.
In addition, as described above, there is a case where the correct answer is pushed in the winning of the small role 3A with a probability of about 1/12. At the time of this correct pushing order, the count value of the main counter 70a is set to “+5”. However, after the next game, the count value is set to “−5” when the replay is won or the push order is incorrect when the small role 3A is won, so the count value returns to “0” early. That is, during a non-AT game, it temporarily becomes “+5” in the correct push order when winning the small role 3A, but immediately returns to “0”.

  In addition, when the sub-control means 80 described later wins a lottery to execute the AT game, the sub-control means 80 instructs (informs) the pressing order for setting the count value of the main counter 70a to “+5”.

Here, in the internal middle game, since the combined value of the winning probability of the replay or the small role 3A is about 98%, the count value of the main counter 70a reaches “+40” in about 8 games.
Then, when the count value of the main counter 70a becomes equal to or greater than “+40”, the AT main control means 70 performs control so that the freeze by the freeze control means 70b is executed in the next game.

Here, “freeze” (also referred to as “freeze production” or “freeze operation”) means that the function of the operation switch of the gaming machine (the slot machine 10 in the present embodiment) is temporarily stopped.
More specifically, for example,
(1) The operation of the bet switch 40 for accepting a game medium (medal) inserted from the medal insertion slot 43 or determining the number of inserted (betting) game media credited in advance is temporarily stopped.
(2) Suspending the operation of the start switch 41 for starting the game,
(3) The operation of the stop switch 42 (stop operation of the reel 31) is temporarily stopped.

  Further, as a mode in which the function of the operation 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, the bet switch 40, the start switch 41, or the stop switch 42) For example, not receiving a signal transmitted from the operation switch based on the operation 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.

  Further, regarding the freeze of the start switch 41, even if the start switch 41 is operated, the reel 31 is not started to rotate based on the reception of the operation of the start switch 41 for a predetermined period, or the role lottery is not started for the predetermined period. Can be mentioned.

  The freeze termination condition is that the freeze ends when a predetermined time elapses. Various operation signals input to the main control means 50 even before the predetermined time elapses. It is also possible to cancel the freeze on the way.

  In this case, it is possible to cancel the freeze by simply receiving an operation input of the start switch 41, or a predetermined operation procedure (for example, “operating the start switch 41 five times”, “stop switch 42 , “Operating in the order of middle, right, left”, “operating the bet switch 40 in accordance with a predetermined timing”, etc.) can be used to cancel the freeze.

  In particular, in this embodiment, the freeze control means 70b performs control so as to execute a freeze that does not accept the operation of the start switch 41 in the next game for a predetermined time when the count value of the main counter 70a becomes “+40” or more. To do. When this freeze is executed, even if the operation switch is operated during the freeze, it becomes invalid.

Even if the freeze is executed in the game, when the start switch 41 is operated, the signal is input to the main control means 50, and the lottery of the combination is performed at that timing.
Next, when the freeze is released after the predetermined time has elapsed, the operation of the start switch 41 has already been performed, so the rotation of the reel 31 is started. Therefore, if the start switch 41 is operated before the predetermined time has elapsed, the player does not need to operate the start switch 41 again after the freeze is released. Even if the player operates the start switch 41 again after releasing the freeze, the lottery of the winning combination is not performed based on the operation, and the rotation of the reel 31 is not started by the operation.

  The freeze executed when the count value of the main counter 70a is equal to or greater than “+40” becomes an AT start freeze, and the player is notified of the start of the AT game by executing the AT start freeze.

Next, when AT start freezing is performed and the AT game is started, the main counter 70a updates each game and the count value based on the count value shown in FIG. 8B.
When the count value of the main counter 70a is equal to or greater than “+40” and an AT game is executed, the count value of the main counter 70a is controlled to decrease as the number of games is exhausted during the AT game. For example, when a replay is won during an AT game, as a rule, the push order of “left middle right” is notified, and when the player follows the push order, the count value of the main counter 70a is “−1” in the game. .

  When the count value becomes “0” after the count value of the main counter 70a becomes “+40” and the AT start freeze is executed, the freeze control means 70b indicates that the AT game is ended. Perform end freeze.

As shown in FIG. 1, the main control means 50 is electrically connected to the external terminal board 100, and the main control means 50 outputs an outer end signal (for counting the number of executions of AT games) to the external terminal board 100. Signal). The outer end signal is transmitted from the external terminal board 100 to the game history display device 110 and the hall computer 120, for example. The game history display device 110 is installed at the top of each slot machine 10 and discloses to the player the number of executions of AT games such as today and the previous day.
The hall computer 120 collects various statistical information such as how much each slot (slot machine 10) has paid out (difference number information) including the number of executions of AT games on that day.

  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, it is necessary to grasp whether or not the AT game is executed on the main control board.

  Then, as in the present embodiment, in the case where the AT game lottery is performed on the sub control means 80 side, there is no problem as long as the AT game information can be transmitted from the sub control board to the main control board. In addition, since the signal is unidirectionally transmitted from the main control board to the sub control board, the signal cannot be transmitted from the sub control means 80 to the main control means 50.

Therefore, the execution of freeze is detected as a method for grasping whether or not the AT game is executed on the main control means 50 side.
For example, an outer end signal (a signal indicating that an AT game has been executed) is transmitted to the external terminal board 100 at a timing when an AT start freeze or an AT end freeze is executed. Alternatively, the outer end signal may be transmitted when the count value of the main counter 70a reaches “+40”.

  The main control unit 50 controls the sub-control unit 80 to transmit various information (commands). Information to be transmitted includes information that a medal has been inserted, information that the start switch 41 has been operated, information on a lottery result (winning combination), information that rotation of the reel 31 has started, Information indicating that the stop switch 42 has been operated, information on the pressing order of the stop switch 42, information indicating that the reels 31 have been stopped, information on the stop position (stop symbol) of each reel 31, information on winning combinations, and payout of medals Information, gaming state information (non-internal / internal game, normal / special game), freeze information (freeze start and end information), and the like.

  Note that the count value of the main counter 70a is grasped by the sub-control means 80, and the information may not be transmitted. However, each game, the main control means 50 sends the main counter 70a to the sub-control means 80. The count value information may be transmitted.

Returning to FIG.
In FIG. 1, the sub control unit 80 includes an effect output control unit 81.
The effect output control means 81 controls the output of the effects from the lamp 21, the speaker 22, and the image display device 23 described above.

  The effect output control means 81 selects an effect by lottery using a software random number based on the lottery result of the combination by the combination lottery means 61 at the start of the game or the like for each 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.

The production output from the lamp 21, the speaker 22, and the image display device 23 is controlled by the sub-control unit 80, not the main control unit 50.
However, the main control means 50 controls the operation switch operation acceptance and the freeze associated with the rotation and stop of the reel 31.
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.

  The AT sub-control means 82 controls the lottery of whether or not to execute an AT game, the number of AT games (including the number of additions), the display of information related to the AT game, and the output of effects. For example, when the AT sub-control means 82 is won by a lottery to determine whether or not to execute an AT game, or when AT game is started or ended (including during freezing), information and effects related to the AT game are displayed as images. An image is displayed on the device 23. In addition, information on the number of games of AT games, information on the number of payouts, and the like are displayed on the image display device 23 as images.

  The AT sub-control means 82 does not perform a lottery of AT games during the non-internal middle game and the MB game. On the other hand, when the MB is won and the game becomes an internal game, a lottery is performed as to whether or not to execute the AT game.

The AT game lottery may be performed at any opportunity. For example, when winning a small role 1 or small role 2 (rare small role), reaching the predetermined number of games after the end of the previous AT game, etc. Is mentioned.
Specifically, when winning the small role 1, win 1/2, when winning the small role 2, win 1/3, when 1000 games have reached since the end of the previous AT game May be set to win at 100%.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the AT sub-control unit 82 includes a sub-counter 82a. The sub-counter 82a is for managing (counting) the number of games of the AT game, and continues to update the count value every game from when the AT game lottery is won until the AT game is terminated. Accordingly, the count value of the sub-counter 82a matches the number of remaining AT games.

  When the AT game lottery is won, the AT sub-control unit 82 sets the count value of the sub-counter 82a to “+40”. That is, the initial value of the number of games of AT games is 40 games.

Here, the game states managed by the sub-control unit 80 include a non-internal medium game, an internal medium game, and a special game, and these three game states coincide with the game state managed by the main control unit 50.
Furthermore, as a gaming state managed only by the sub-control means 80, in the case of an internal middle game, it has a non-AT game, an AT preparation, and an AT game.

The AT sub-control means 82 performs a lottery to determine whether or not to execute an AT game during a non-AT game, wins the AT game lottery, and sets the count value of the sub-counter 82a to “+40” From the next game, the game state is set during AT preparation.
While the AT is being prepared, it is a gaming state from the transition to a non-AT game to an AT game, and the count value of the main counter 70a on the main control means 50 side matches the count value (“+40”) of the sub-counter 82a. This is a game period until a freeze at the start of AT game (AT start freeze) is executed on the main control means 50 side.

When the AT sub-control means 82 shifts to the preparation for AT, when the replay is won, the AT sub-control means 82 instructs (notifies) the player in the middle left / right or right middle / left push order. Which instruction is to be instructed is determined at random by, for example, lottery.
Further, when the small combination 3A is won, the push order that is the correct answer in the push order, for example, when the small combination 3A + 3B is won, the first stop left is notified. In addition, since the instruction of the replay push order is 6 choices, it may be notified by 6 choices even when the small role 3A is won. For example, when winning the small combination 3A + 3B, either left middle right or left middle right may be selected at random and notified.

As described above, when the replay is won, the push order to set the count value of the main counter 70a to “+5” is instructed. When the small role 3A is won, the correct answer push order is notified to thereby change the count value of the main counter 70a. The order of pressing to “+5” is notified.
Therefore, assuming that every game, replay or small role 3A is won, if there is no mistake in the operation of the stop switch 42 of the player, after shifting to AT preparation, the count value of the main counter 70a is 8 games. It becomes “+40”.

  In the process until the count value of the main counter 70a is increased to “+40”, even if the player makes a mistake in operating the stop switch 42, until the count value of the main counter 70a reaches “+40”, AT The sub-control means 82 continues the notification of the pressing order (including instructions for winning the replay, the same applies hereinafter).

For example, when the count value of the main counter 70a is “+30”, the game is won for replay, and the “middle left and right” pressing order (the pressing order for setting the count value to “+5”) is notified. When the stop switch 42 is operated in the middle left and right due to a user's operation mistake, the count value is set to “−5” in the game. However, since the push order for setting the count value to “+5” is continuously informed thereafter, “+40” is eventually obtained.
Note that the AT sub-control unit 82 maintains “+40” of the count value of the sub-counter 82a during the AT preparation, and does not vary according to the winning combination or the pressing order.

In addition, when the AT game is won on the sub-control means 80 side, if the count value of the main counter 70a is other than “0”, the following control is performed.
For example, it is assumed that the AT game is won in a game in which the stop switch 42 is operated in the pressing order of setting the count value to “+5” due to a player's operation mistake at the time of replay winning.

  In this case, the AT sub-control means 82 keeps the count value of the main counter 70a “+5” at the time of replay winning and the small role 3A winning until the count value of the main counter 70a reaches “+40”, as described above. ”Is notified. Therefore, in this case, the count value is “+40” in 7 games at the shortest.

Although not possible in the example of FIG. 8, for example, when a replay is won, a value (hereinafter referred to as “N”) greater than “0” and smaller than “+5” is added as the count value of the main counter 70a. Assume that you have assigned a push order. Then, it is assumed that the AT game is won in the game in which the stop switch 42 is operated in the push order in which the count value is incremented by “N” due to the player's operation mistake at the time of replay winning.
In this case, the AT game may be started after the count value is set to just “+40”. Alternatively, after the AT game starts, the difference between the count values at the start of the AT game (the difference from “+40”). ) May be adjusted.

  For example, a push order in which the count value of the main counter 70a is added by “N” and a push order in which “N” is subtracted are assigned as the push order at the time of replay winning. Then, after winning the AT game, when the count value of the main counter 70a is larger by “N”, the push order for subtracting “N” in the game at the time of replay winning is notified, and “N” is subtracted. Can be mentioned. Note that such notification for subtracting the count value may be during AT preparation or during AT gaming.

  When the count value of the main counter 70a is equal to or greater than “+40”, as described above, the freeze control means 70b performs AT start freeze at the start of the next game. During the AT start freeze, the AT sub-control means 82 outputs an effect or the like indicating that the AT game is started. Further, at this time, the count value of the main counter 70a and the count value of the sub-counter 82a are in principle “+40”.

Next, when the AT game is started, the AT sub-control means 82 decrements the count value of the sub-counter 82a by “1” for each game. In other cases, the count value of the sub-counter 82a is not added or maintained.
In addition, the AT sub-control means 82 notifies the pressing order of “left middle right” in principle when winning the replay, notifies the correct pressing order when winning the small role 3A, and subtracts “1” from the count value of the main counter 70a. Control to do. Note that, as shown in FIG. 8B, even if the stop switch 42 is operated in the incorrect pressing order when the small role 3A is won, the count value of the main counter 70a is decremented by “1”. The same applies when winning a small combination 1 and small combination 2 (except when adding the number of games) and when not winning a combination.

  Then, the AT sub-control means 82 continues to determine whether or not the count value of the main counter 70a and the count value of the sub-counter 82a match each game, and if it does not match, the main counter In order to make the count value of 70a coincide with the count value of the sub-counter 82a, a predetermined push order is notified.

  For example, at the time of replay winning during an AT game, the AT sub-control means 82 notifies the player of the left middle right push order, and if the player operates the stop switch 42 in accordance with the notification, the main player in the game The count value of the counter 70a is decremented by “1”. Further, when the small role 3A is won, if the stop switch 42 is operated in accordance with the notified pressing order, the count value of the main counter 70a in the game is decremented by “1”.

Therefore, the count value of the main counter 70a at the start of the AT game is “+40”, but if the number of games is not added during the AT game, it should be “0” when the 40 games are consumed.
However, if there is a player's operation mistake of the stop switch 42 during an AT game, there will be a difference between the count value of the main counter 70a and the count value of the sub-counter 82a.

  For example, when the player operates the stop switch 42 in the order of “middle left and right” at the time of replay winning, as shown in FIG. 8B, the updated value of the main counter 70a in the game is “−2”. If it should be “−1”, it is subtracted by “1”.

In this case, when the next replay is won, the pressing order of “middle right” is notified, and the update value of the count value of the main counter 70a in the game is set to “0” (maintenance is maintained). Where it should be “1”, increase it by “1”.
Thereby, in the above-mentioned two games at the time of winning the replay, the count value of the main counter 70a can be set to “−2 + 0 = −2” in total.

Contrary to the above, when the player operates the stop switch 42 in the order of pressing “Right / Left / Right” at the time of replay winning, the updated value of the main counter 70a in the game becomes “0”. Where it should be “1”, it increases by “1”.
In this case, at the time of the next replay winning, the push order of “middle left and right” is notified, and the updated value of the main counter 70a in the game is set to “−2”, and should be “−1” in the original case. , “1” is subtracted by a large amount.

Furthermore, for example, when the player operates the stop switch 42 in the order of pushing “right middle left” at the time of replay winning, the updated value of the main counter 70a in the game becomes “+4”, and originally “−1” "Is increased by" 5 ".
In this case, when the next replay is won, the order of pressing “middle right and left” is notified, and the updated value of the main counter 70a in the game is set to “−6”. , “5” is subtracted more.
Thereby, in the above-mentioned two games at the time of replay winning, the count value of the main counter 70a can be set to “+ 4−6 = −2” in total.

Contrary to the above, when the player operates the stop switch 42 in the order of “middle right left” at the time of replay winning, the updated value of the main counter 70a in the game becomes “−6”. Where it should be −1, it is subtracted by “5” more.
In this case, when the next replay is won, the order of pressing “Right Middle Left” is notified, and the updated value of the main counter 70a in the game is set to “+4”, and should be “−1” in the original case. , “5” is added more.

Further, in the present embodiment, the AT sub-control means 82 adds (adds) the number of games of the AT game at the time of winning the rare small role (in this embodiment, the small role 1 or the small role 2) during the AT game. Or not.
For example, at the time of winning the small role 1, at least 10 games are added and the number of additions is determined by lottery from 10, 30, or 50 games.
Further, when winning the small role 2, it is determined whether or not to increase the number of games by lottery, and when it is determined to add, 30 games are added.

When winning the small role 1, the AT main control means 70 determines the count value of the main counter 70a, and when it is equal to or greater than “+6” as shown in FIG. 8 (b), the count of the main counter 70a is counted. The value is updated by “−1”. On the other hand, when the count value of the main counter 70a is “+5” or less, the count value is updated by “+9”. That is, when the count value of the main counter 70a is equal to or less than “+5”, the count value is updated when the small combination 1 is won.
Note that the update value is set to “+9”, but the actual number of additions is “+10”, but “+9” is obtained by subtracting one game digest of the game.
Further, when winning the small combination 2, the count value of the main counter 70a is updated by "-1" as in the case of winning the small combination 3A.

When the AT sub-control means 82 wins “+10” as a result of performing the lottery with the number of games when winning the small role 1, the count value of the main counter 70a when winning the small role 1 is “+5” or less. In some cases, since the count value of the main counter 70a has already been added by "10", the control for further adding the count value of the main counter 70a is not performed.
On the other hand, when the count value of the main counter 70a at the time of winning the small combination 1 is “+6” or more, control is performed to add “10” to the count value of the main counter 70a.

  Specifically, the right, middle and left push order is notified in two games at the time of winning the subsequent replay. In these two games, the count value of the main counter 70a increases by “+8”, so that the digestion of the two games can be subtracted to “+10”.

On the other hand, when winning the small role 1 and adding lots of games, if “+30” is won, it is necessary to add “+20” in addition to “+10” already added.
Similarly, when “+50” is won, “+40” needs to be added.

Here, the AT main control means 70 adds “+20” and “+40”, respectively, when the stop switch 42 is operated in a predetermined pressing order pattern at the time of replay winning.
FIG. 9 is a diagram showing the pressing order pattern and the addition number (update value of the count value of the main counter 70a) at this time.
For example, when adding “20” to the count value of the main counter 70a, the AT sub-control unit 82 notifies the pushing order of “left and right middle” in the game at the time of replay winning, and in the game at the time of the next replay winning. Informs the pressing order of “Middle”.

In addition, when winning a replay during AT game, the push order of “left middle right” will be notified, so the stop switch 42 should be operated in the push order of “left and right middle” unless there is a mistake in the player's operation. There is no.
When the stop switch 42 is operated in the order of pushing “left and right” in the game at the time of winning the replay, the count value of the main counter 70a is updated by “−1” as shown in FIG. 8B and FIG. The When the stop switch 42 is operated in the order of pushing “left and right” in the next replay winning game, the count value of the main counter 70a is updated by “+19” as shown in FIG.

In addition, when adding 40 to the count value of the main counter 70a, the AT sub-control means 82 notifies the pushing order of “middle” in the game at the time of the replay winning, and in the game at the time of the next replay winning. Announces the pressing order of “middle right”.
When the stop switch 42 is operated in the order of pushing “left and right” in the game at the time of winning the replay, the count value of the main counter 70a is updated by “−1” as shown in FIG. 8B and FIG. The When the stop switch 42 is operated in the order of pressing “Right / Left / Middle” in the next replay winning game, the count value of the main counter 70a is updated by “+39” as shown in FIG.

  As described above, when the count value of the main counter 70a is shifted due to a player's operation mistake at the time of replay winning, there is a case where the pushing order of “middle right” is notified at the time of subsequent replay winning. If only one game is viewed, the stop switch 42 may be operated in the order of “right and left middle” in the replay win. However, it is thought that there is almost no operation in the order of “left and right middle” in the game at the time of winning the replay before that.

  Further, when the remaining number of AT games is 5 games or less, that is, when the count value of the main counter 70a is “+5” or less, the count value of the main counter 70a immediately becomes “ Therefore, the remaining number of games at that time is at least “+9”. Therefore, since it is considered that the replay is won twice in the nine games, the count value of the main counter 70a can be updated to a predetermined value during the AT game.

  In addition, when the small role 2 is won and 30 games are added to the number of games of the AT game, the AT sub-control unit 82 determines that “right middle left” The order of pressing is notified. As a result, the count value of the main counter 70a at that time is incremented by “+4” as shown in FIG. 8B and FIG.

  In the game at the time of the next replay winning, the AT sub-control means 82 notifies the pressing order of “middle right”. As a result, as shown in FIG. 9, the count value of the main counter 70a is “+24” in the game. Therefore, when adding 30 games, it is possible to make “+28” (addition number “30” −digested number of games “2” = “28”) in the game at the time of two replay wins.

FIG. 10 is a diagram for specifically explaining changes in the count values of the main counter 70a and the sub-counter 82a when winning the small combination 2 and adding the number of AT games.
For example, in the N game of the AT game, the count values of the main counter 70a and the sub counter 82a before the game start are both “+6”. That is, this is a case where the number of remaining AT games is 6 games.

In this N game, when the small role 2 is won and it is decided by the lottery by the AT sub-control means 82a that the number of games of the AT game is added (added) by 30 games, the count of the sub-counter 82a at that time Set the value to “+30”. Therefore, the count value of the sub-counter 82a is “+36”. At the end of the game, the count value of the sub-counter 82a becomes “+35” by subtracting one game for the game digestion.
On the other hand, the count value of the main counter 70a becomes “+5” by subtracting one game at the end of the N game.

After the next game, the AT sub-control means 82 notifies the predetermined push order of the stop switch 42 in the game won for the replay, and controls to add “30” to the count value of the main counter 70a.
For example, as shown in FIG. 10, when the replay is won in the “N + 1” game, the AT sub-control means 82 notifies “right middle left”. When the player operates the stop switch 42 in accordance with this notification, the count value of the main counter 70a is “+4” in the game, and thus becomes “+9” at the end of the game. On the other hand, the count value of the sub-counter 80a is “+34” because “1” is subtracted as one game is consumed.

  Suppose that the next “N + 2” game is won by the small role 3A. In the game, the push order for 9 payouts is notified. At the end of the game, the count values of the main counter 70a and the sub counter 82a are both decremented by “1”, so that the main counter 70a is “+8” and the sub counter 82a is “+33”.

  Next, assuming that the replay is won in the “N + 3” game, the AT sub-control means 82 notifies “middle right”. When the player operates the stop switch 42 in accordance with this notification, the conditions of the “replay winning Nth“ right middle left ”and replay winning“ N + 1 ”times“ right left middle ”shown in FIG. 9 are satisfied. The count value of "+24" is "+32" at the end of the game. On the other hand, since the sub-counter 82a is decremented by “1”, it becomes “+32” at the end of the game. Thus, at the end of the “N + 3” game, the count values of the main counter 70a and the sub-counter 82a become the same value.

FIG. 11 is a diagram for specifically explaining the change in the count values of the main counter 70a and the sub-counter 82a when winning the small combination 1 and adding the number of games of the AT game.
For example, in the N game of the AT game, the count values of the main counter 70a and the sub counter 82a before the game start are both “+3”. In other words, this is a case where the number of remaining AT games is 3 games.

  When the small combination 1 is won in the N game, the count value of the main counter 70a is “+9” at that time. This is an addition based on the winning of the small role 1 when the remaining number of AT games is 5 games or less (FIG. 8B). Therefore, the count value of the main counter 70a at the end of the game is “+12”.

  Also, if the AT sub-control means 82 wins 50 games as a result of adding the number of games based on the winning of the small role 1 and then wins 50 games, the sub-counter 82a counts “50” at that time. to add. Therefore, the count value of the sub-counter 82a at that time is “+53”. At the end of the game, the count value of the sub-counter 82a is “+52” by subtracting one game for the game.

  After the next game, the AT sub-control means 82 notifies the predetermined push order of the stop switch 42 in the game won for replay, and controls to add “40” to the count value of the main counter 70a. That is, control is performed so that “40” is added to “10” added in the Nth game.

  As shown in FIG. 11, when the replay is won in the “N + 1” game, the AT sub-control means 82 notifies “middle left and right”. When the player operates the stop switch 42 in accordance with this notification, the count value of the main counter 70a is “−1” in the game, and thus becomes “+11” at the end of the game. On the other hand, the count value of the sub-counter 82a is “+51” because “1” is subtracted as one game is consumed.

  Assuming that the next “N + 2” game is won by the small role 3A, the count values of the main counter 70a and the sub-counter 82a both subtract “1”, so the count value of the main counter 70a is “+10”. The count value of the sub-counter 82a is “+50”.

  Next, assuming that the replay is won in the “N + 3” game, the AT sub-control means 82 notifies “middle right”. When the player operates the stop switch 42 in accordance with this notification, the condition of “replay winning Nth“ left and right ”and replay winning“ N + 1 ”times“ right and left middle ”shown in FIG. 9 is satisfied. The count value of “+39” is “+49” at the end of the game. On the other hand, since the count value of the sub-counter 82a is decremented by “1”, it becomes “+49” at the end of the game. Thus, at the end of the “N + 3” game, the count values of the main counter 70a and the sub-counter 82a become the same value.

  When the count value of the main counter 70a becomes “0” on the main control means 50 side, the free control means 70b executes AT end freeze which means the end of the AT game. When the AT end freeze is executed, a signal to that effect is transmitted to the sub-control means 80. Upon receiving this information, the sub-control means 80 outputs an effect meaning the end of the AT game, and thereafter controls not to notify the correct pressing order when the small role 3A is won. Also, no notification is given at the time of replay winning.

Next, an example of taking consistency of the count values of the main counter 70a and the sub counter 82a will be specifically described based on FIGS. 12 to 16 (graphs).
FIG. 12 (first example) shows an example in which the number of games is added during the AT game. In FIG. 12, the horizontal axis represents the number of games, and the vertical axis represents the count values of the main counter 70a and the sub-counter 82a. In the figure, the upper side shows the count value of the main counter 70a, and the lower side in the figure shows the count value of the sub-counter 82a.

In FIG. 12, when the AT sub-control means 82 decides to execute the AT game, it sets the count value of the sub-counter 82a to “+40” (sets the number of games at this time to “0”). ). Further, the count value of the main counter 70a at this time is “0”.
After that, the AT sub-control means 82 instructs the pushing order of the stop switch 42, performs control so that the count value of the main counter 70a is added, and the game (“0”) in which the count value of the sub-counter 82a is set to “+40”. It is assumed that the count value of the main counter 70a reaches “+40” when the number of games X1 is counted from “game”. Therefore, the AT game is started at the game number X1.
The above also applies to FIGS. 13 to 16 below.

As the number of games is consumed, the count values of the main counter 70a and the sub-counter 82a are decremented by “1” for each game.
Next, an example is shown in which, when the number of games is X2, a rare small role is won and the number of AT games is added. The count value of the main counter 70a and the sub-counter 82a (before addition) at the game number X2 is C1. Then, since the additional number is determined to be “C3-C1”, the count value of the sub-counter 82a becomes C3 when the number of games is X2.

  Thus, from the next game, the AT sub-control means 82 continues to notify the pushing order for adding the count value of the main counter 70a, and the count value of the main counter 70a becomes C2 at the game number X3. It is assumed that the count value of the sub-counter 82a matches. Thereby, the AT sub-control means 82 ends the notification of the push order for adding the count value of the main counter 70a. Thereafter, the AT sub-control means 82 continues to notify the pushing order of subtracting the count value of the main counter 70a by “1” for each game, and both the main counter 70a and the sub-counter 82a set the count value for each game “1”. Subtract.

  When the number of games is X4, the count values of the main counter 70a and the sub-counter 82a become “0”, and the AT game is terminated. Further, when the count value of the main counter 70a becomes “0” when the number of games is X4, the AT main control means 70 performs necessary processing (freezing, transmission of an outer end signal, etc.) at the end of the AT game.

The example of FIG. 13 (second example) is the same as FIG. 12 up to the number of games X2.
The count value of the main counter 70a and the sub-counter 82a (before the addition) at the game number X2 is C1, and since the addition number is determined to be “C3-C1”, the sub-counter 82a at the game number X2 The count value is C3.

  Next, from the next game, the AT sub-control means 82 continues to notify the push order for adding the count value of the main counter 70a. When the number of games is X3, the count value of the sub-counter 82a is C2, but the count value of the main counter 70a is C3 (C3> C2), and the count value of the main counter 70a is the count of the sub-counter 82a. An example of exceeding the value is shown. Specifically, when the number of games is X3, the count value of the main counter 70a is a value larger by “C3-C2” than the count value of the sub-counter 82a.

  In this case, from the next game, the AT sub-control means 82 notifies the push order for subtracting the count value of the main counter 70a more than usual (for example, in the case of replay winning in FIG. And the count value of the main counter 70a is adjusted. As a result, when the number of games is X5, the count values of the main counter 70a and the sub-counter 82a are both C1 and coincide. As a result, thereafter, the AT sub-control means 82 continues to notify the push order of subtracting the count value of the main counter 70a by “1” for each game, and both the main counter 70a and the sub-counter 82a set the count value for each game “ 1 "is subtracted.

The example of FIG. 14 (third example) is the same as FIG. 12 up to the number of games X2.
Here, it is assumed that when the number of games is X2, the number of games of the AT game is added, and the count value of the sub-counter 82a becomes C3 at the time of the number of games X2. Next, from the next game, the AT sub-control means 82 continues to notify the push order for adding the count value of the main counter 70a.

Then, it is assumed that the count value of the main counter 70a becomes C2 at the number of games X6. Here, it is assumed that the count value of the sub-counter 82a at the time of the number of games X6 is larger than C2. However, if the AT sub-control means 82 determines that the count value of the main counter 70a will exceed the count value of the sub-counter 82a if the count value of the main counter 70a continues to be added after the next game, In between 1 and several games, the pressing order for maintaining the count value of the main counter 70a is notified. For example, in the example of FIG. 8B, “right / left middle” is notified when the replay is won.
As a result, the count value of the sub-counter 82a is decremented by “1” for each game as the number of games is consumed, but the count value of the main counter 70a is controlled to be maintained as it is.

  As a result, it is assumed that the count values of the main counter 70a and the sub-counter 82a are both C2 at the time of the number of games X7 and match. As a result, thereafter, the AT sub-control means 82 continues to notify the push order of subtracting the count value of the main counter 70a by “1” for each game, and both the main counter 70a and the sub-counter 82a set the count value for each game “ 1 "is subtracted.

The example of FIG. 15 (fourth example) is an example of winning a significant increase in the number of games during an AT game, and corresponds to the example of FIG.
Here, the game count X2 in FIG. 15 corresponds to the N game in FIG. 10, the game count “X2 + 1” in FIG. 15 corresponds to the “N + 1” game in FIG. 10, and the game count “X2 + 2” in FIG. "Corresponds to the" N + 2 "game in FIG. 10, and the game count X8 (X2 + 3) in FIG. 15 corresponds to the game count" N + 3 "game in FIG.

In FIG. 15, when the number of games X2 (the Nth game in FIG. 10) is won by the additional number “30”, the count value of the sub-counter 82a is C4 (corresponding to “+36” in FIG. 10, C4-C1 = 30). To be.
In the next game count “X2 + 1” (“N + 1” game in FIG. 10), “4” is added to the count value of the main counter 70a. Further, in the next game count “X2 + 2” (“N + 2” game in FIG. 10), the count value of the main counter 70a is decremented by “1”.

  Then, at the next game number X8 (“N + 3” game in FIG. 10), “24” is added to the count value of the main counter 70a, and the count value of the main counter 70a in the game is C5 (“ +32 "), which matches the count value of the sub-counter 82a. Thereafter, the AT game is executed until the number of games X9 at which the count values of the main counter 70a and the sub counter 82a become “0”.

The example of FIG. 16 (fifth example) is an example when unintentional addition is performed to the count value of the main counter 70a.
In the example of FIG. 16, the number of games X2 is the same as in FIG. Further, in the example of FIG. 16, the AT sub-control means 82 does not add the number of AT games.
When the number of games is X2, when the player does not follow the notified pressing order of the stop switch 42, or because of an operation error of the stop switch 42, the game number of AT games is not actually added. Assume that only the count value of the main counter 70a is added. For example, this is the case when the stop switch 42 is accidentally operated in the pressing order shown in FIG.

When the count value of the main counter 70a is C6 when the number of games is X10, a predetermined pressing order is obtained when a predetermined combination is won over a plurality of games by a method similar to the method shown in FIG. If the stop switch 42 is operated, the count value of the main counter 70a is set in advance to be greatly subtracted.
In this way, when the count value of the main counter 70a increases unintentionally, it is canceled and the push order that can approach the count value of the sub-counter 82a is notified, so that the main counter 70a and the sub-counter The count value of the counter 82a is brought close to or the same.

The example of FIG. 16 shows an example in which the count values of the main counter 70a and the sub counter 82a are both set to C7 when the number of games is X11.
Thereafter, the AT game is executed until the number of games X12 at which the count values of the main counter 70a and the sub-counter 82a become “0”.

Second Embodiment
FIG. 17 is a diagram illustrating an update value of the main counter 70a in the second embodiment. Note that the sub-counter 82a in the second embodiment decrements “1” for each game during the AT game, as in the first embodiment.
In the second embodiment, the update value of the main counter 70a is not distinguished during non-AT games, AT preparations, and AT games.

  First, when the AT sub-control means 82 wins the AT game lottery, at that time, the count value of the sub-counter 82a is set to “+40” (similar to the first embodiment). Then, from the next game, the AT sub-control unit 82 shifts to the AT preparation.

During AT preparation, when the replay is won, the AT sub-control means 82 notifies the pressing order of the middle right and left.
When the player operates the stop switch 42 in accordance with the pushing order, the AT main control means 70 adds “5” to the count value of the main counter 70a as shown in FIG.

In addition, during AT preparation, when the small role 3A + 3B is won, it is notified that the left and right are in the middle, when the small role 3A + 3C is won, it is notified that the middle right is left, and when the small role 3A + 3B + 3C is won, the right middle left is notified. Thus, the player can receive nine payouts by following the notified pressing order regardless of which small role 3A is won, and the count value of the main counter 70a is incremented by “5”. Is done.
Therefore, after shifting to the AT preparation, if only the replay or the small role 3A is won, the count value of the main counter 70a becomes “+40” in 8 games.

Further, even when the player does not follow the notified pressing order during AT preparation, the count value shown in FIG. 17 is added.
For this reason, the count value of the main counter 70a may not be an integral multiple of “5”. However, during the AT preparation, the AT sub-control unit 82, as a general rule, during the replay win and the small role 3A win, The push order for adding "5" to the count value of the counter 70a is continuously notified. Further, when the count value of the main counter 70a can be adjusted, the pressing order for adjustment is notified.

  For example, it is assumed that during the AT preparation, when the count value of the main counter 70a is “+35”, the small role 3A is won. When the player makes a mistake in operating the stop switch 42 in the game, the update value of the count value of the main counter 70a in the game is “−1”. Therefore, at the end of the game, the count value of the main counter 70a is “+34”. This is a notification of the right middle left push order (push order in which the count value of the main counter 70a is set to “+5”) in the game won for the replay. The same applies when the stop switch 42 is operated in a pressing order other than middle left.

When a replay or a small role 3A is won in the next game, a push order for adding “5” to the count value of the main counter 70a is notified. Then, it is assumed that the count value of the main counter 70a becomes “+39” at the end of the game.
Furthermore, when the replay is won in the next game, the AT sub-control means 82 notifies the pressing order of the middle and left and right, and adds “1” to the count value of the main counter 70a in the game. Thereby, at the end of the game, the count value of the main counter 70a becomes “+40”.

  On the other hand, when the count value of the main counter 70a is “+39”, when the small role 3A is won, the AT sub-control means 82 sets the count value of the main counter 70a in the game to “+5”. Announces the pressing order. Therefore, at the end of the game, the count value of the main counter 70a is “+44”.

When the count value of the main counter 70a becomes “+40” or more, the AT main control means 70 executes AT start freeze.
Further, during an AT game, the AT sub-control means 82 notifies the pressing order of the left middle right when winning the replay, and controls to subtract “1” from the count value of the main counter 70a in the game. .

Further, when winning the small role 3A, the pressing order of subtracting “1” from the count value of the main counter 70a is notified in the correct pressing order. For example, when winning the small combination 3A + 3B, the order of pressing the left middle right is notified. Similarly, the count value of the main counter 70a is decremented by “1” when winning the small role 1 when the remaining number of games of AT games is 6 games or more, and when winning the small role 2 and when not winning.
Therefore, during an AT game, as a rule, the count values of the main counter 70a and the sub-counter 82a are decremented by "1" for each game.

  Here, if the count value of the main counter 70a at the start of the AT game is not just “+40” as in “+44” above, the count values of the main counter 70a and the sub-counter 82a at the start of the AT game. There is misalignment. For this reason, the AT sub-control means 82 notifies the push order for correcting this during the AT game. Furthermore, the count value of the main counter 70a was “+40” at the start of the AT game, but when the count value is shifted due to an operation mistake of the stop switch 42 of the player in the AT game, the count value is similarly set. Correct.

  As in the above example, when the count value of the main counter 70a at the start of the AT game is “+44”, the AT sub-control unit 82 performs the right / left / middle push order in the game at the time of the next replay win. Inform. When the stop switch 42 is operated in this pushing order, “7” is subtracted from the count value of the main counter 70a in the game. Therefore, although the update value of the count value during the AT game is “−1”, it is subtracted by “6” by setting it to “−7”.

  Therefore, although the count value of the main counter 70a is larger by “4” at the start of the AT game, the count value of the main counter 70a is subtracted by “6” more than usual in the game. Becomes a value smaller by “2” than the original value.

Furthermore, in this case, in the game at the time of the next replay winning, the AT sub-control means 82 notifies the middle / left / right pushing order. When the stop switch 42 is operated in this pushing order, the updated value of the main counter 70a in the game is “+1”. Therefore, although the update value of the count value during the AT game is “−1”, it is increased by “2” by setting “+1”.
Therefore, the count value of the main counter 70a is a value smaller by “2” before the game starts, but by adding “2” more than usual in the game, the subtraction becomes “0”.

  In addition, when winning the small role 3A in the AT game, the push order in which the count value of the main counter 70a is decremented by “1” is notified, but the player operates the stop switch 42 in the push order in which the count value is incremented by “5”. At that time, the count value of the main counter 70a becomes “6” more than the count value of the sub-counter 82a.

  In this case, in the game at the time of the next replay winning, the order of pushing the middle left and right is notified, and the count value of the main counter 70a is subtracted by “7” in the game. As a result, the game is decremented by “6” more than usual, so that the subtraction can be made “0”.

  Furthermore, when a replay is won during an AT game, when the stop switch 42 is operated in the middle / left / right push order due to a player's operation mistake, and the updated value of the main counter 70a in the game becomes “+1”, In the game at the time of the next replay winning, the middle right left push order is notified, and the update value of the main counter 70a in the game is set to “−3”, so that the count value of the two games combined at the time of the replay winning is Control to be “−2”.

  Furthermore, when the replay is won during an AT game, the stop switch 42 is operated in the order of middle right / left push due to a player's operation mistake, and the updated value of the main counter 70a in the game becomes “−3”, Contrary to the above, the middle / left / right push order is instructed in the game at the next replay win. As a result, the count value of the two games combined at the time of winning the replay can be set to “−2”.

  In addition, when a replay is won during an AT game, when the stop switch 42 is operated in the order of right / left / left push due to a player's operation mistake, and the updated value of the main counter 70a in the game becomes “+5”, In the game at the time of the next replay win, the order of pressing the middle left and right will be notified. When the stop switch 42 is operated in this pushing order, the updated value of the main counter 70a in the game becomes “−7”, so the count value of the two games combined at the time of replay win is set to “−2”. can do.

  Furthermore, when a replay is won during an AT game, the stop switch 42 is operated in the order of right / left / middle push due to a player's operation mistake, and the updated value of the main counter 70a in the game becomes “−7”. Contrary to the above, in the game at the time of the next replay winning, the order of pressing the middle right and left is notified. When the stop switch 42 is operated in this pushing order, the updated value of the main counter 70a in the game is “+5”, so the count value of the two games combined at the time of replay win is set to “−2”. be able to.

FIG. 18 is a diagram showing the relationship between the pressing order of the stop switch 42 and the count value of the main counter 70a when adding the number of games of AT games in the second embodiment. It is an equivalent figure.
Also in the second embodiment, as in the first embodiment, when the small role 1 or the small role 2 is won, when the AT sub-control means 82 decides to add the number of games of the AT game, Control is performed so that a predetermined pressing order is notified over a plurality of games, and the count value of the main counter 70a is added by a predetermined number.

  For example, when “20” is added to the count value of the main counter 70a, the following is performed. As shown in FIG. 18, first, the AT sub-control means 82 notifies the pressing order for setting the count value of the main counter 70a to “+5” in the game when the small role 3A is won. When operated in the pushing order, the AT main control means 70 adds “5” to the count value of the main counter 70a in the game.

  Furthermore, in the game at the time of winning the next small role 3A, the AT sub-control means 82 notifies the push order of adding “5” to the count value of the main counter 70a. When the AT main control means 70 is operated in the pushing order, the AT main control means 70 adds “13” to the count value of the main counter 70a in the game. As a result, the count value of the main counter 70a is added by “20” in two games when the small role 3A is won (actually, “18” obtained by subtracting “2” for two games is added). it can.

  Further, when “40” is added to the count value of the main counter 70a, the following is performed. First, the AT sub-control means 82 notifies the push order of setting the count value of the main counter 70a to “+5” in the game when the small role 3A is won. When operated in the pushing order, the AT main control means 70 adds “5” to the count value of the main counter 70a in the game.

  In the game at the time of the next replay winning, the AT sub-control means 82 notifies the pressing order of the middle right and left. When operated in the pushing order, the AT main control means 70 adds “33” to the count value of the main counter 70a in the game. As a result, the count value of the main counter 70a is incremented by “40” in the game at the time of winning the small role 3A and the game at the time of the next replay winning (total of 2 games) (actually “2” for 2 games). (38) obtained by subtracting.

  Furthermore, when adding “30” to the count value of the main counter 70a, the following is performed. First, the AT sub-control means 82 notifies the pressing order of the middle right and left in the game at the time of winning the replay. When operated in the pushing order, the AT main control means 70 adds “5” to the count value of the main counter 70a. In the game at the time of the next replay winning, the AT sub-control means 82 notifies the middle / left / right pushing order. When operated in the pushing order, the AT main control means 70 adds “23” to the count value of the main counter 70a in the game. Thus, the count value of the main counter 70a can be added by “30” in two games at the time of replay winning (actually, “28” obtained by subtracting “2” for two games is added).

<Third Embodiment>
FIG. 19 is a diagram showing the updated value of the main counter 70a during the AT game in the third embodiment, and is a diagram corresponding to FIG. 8B of the first embodiment.
In the third embodiment, the small combination 1 includes two types of small combinations 1A and small combinations 1B. The small role 1A is a so-called middle cherry in which the symbol “cherry” stops in the middle when the left reel 31 stops. It is a so-called horn cherry.

Furthermore, in the third embodiment, when the small role 1A (medium cherry) in the AT game is won, control is performed so that the number of games of the AT game is always added. Further, the AT sub-control means 82 determines any one of “10”, “30”, and “50” by lottery as the number of games to be added when winning the small role 1A.
Accordingly, since the minimum additional number when winning the small role 1A is “10”, the AT main control means 70 updates the count value of the main counter 70a by “+9” when winning the small role 1A.
The sub-counter 82a adds a count value corresponding to the determined number of games after the AT sub-control means 82 draws the number of added games.

  As a result of the lottery by the AT sub-control unit 82, when the additional number “30” is won, the AT sub-control unit 82 notifies the push order of adding “20” to the count value of the main counter 70a, When the additional number “50” is won, the pressing order of adding “40” to the count value of the main counter 70a is notified. This addition method is the same as in the first embodiment.

In addition, when the small role 1B is won, the AT main control means 70 updates the count value of the main counter 70a by “+9”.
Further, the AT sub-control means 82 determines one of “0”, “10”, and “20” by lottery as the number of extra games when the small role 1B is won. That is, when “0” is selected, it means that the number of AT games is not added. Then, when the AT sub control means 82 determines the number of additions, the AT sub control means 82 adds the determined number to the count value of the sub counter 82a. When the addition number is determined to be “0”, the count value of the sub-counter 82a is maintained.

  When the AT sub-control unit 82 determines that the number of additions is “10”, the count value corresponding to the number of additions “10” has already been added to the main counter 70a. The control to add is not performed.

  Further, when the AT sub-control unit 82 determines that the number of additions is “20”, the AT sub-control unit 82 performs a process of further adding “10” to the count value of the main counter 70a. In this case, according to the method shown in FIG. 9 of the first embodiment, the AT sub-control means 82 notifies a predetermined pressing order over a plurality of games. When the stop switch 42 is operated in a predetermined pressing order pattern, the AT main control means 70 adds “10” to the count value of the main counter 70a. Alternatively, the AT sub-control means 82 may notify the pressing order of the middle right and left when winning two replays, and may add “10” to the count value of the main counter 70a.

  Furthermore, as a result of the lottery by the AT sub-control means 82, when the additional number “0” is won, the count value corresponding to the additional number “10” has already been added to the main counter 70a. The AT sub-control unit 82 notifies the pressing order for subtracting “10” from the count value of the main counter 70a. For example, at the time of winning two replays thereafter, the middle right left push order is notified. Thereby, since the count value of the main counter 70a is subtracted by “10” from the normal time, the addition based on the winning of the small role 1B can be cleared.

As described above, in the third embodiment, when the small role 1A is won, a predetermined value is added to the count value of the main counter 70a regardless of the number of remaining AT games.
In addition, when the small role 1B is won, a predetermined value is added to the count value of the main counter 70a. However, when the additional number is determined to be “0” as a result of the lottery by the AT sub-control means 82, the added main number is temporarily added. Control is performed so as to subtract the value from the count value of the counter 70a.

<Fourth embodiment>
In the above embodiment, it is determined whether or not to execute the AT game in the internal middle game that carries over the winning of the MB.
On the other hand, in the fourth embodiment, there are three types of game states of the internal middle game: RT1 game (non-ART game), RT2 game (ART preparation in progress), and RT3 game (ART game).
Here, in the RT1 game, the winning probability of the replay is about 1 / 7.3, which is the same as in the non-internal middle game of the first embodiment. On the other hand, the winning probability of the replay of the RT2 game and the RT3 game is set to about ½.

  FIG. 20 is a diagram for explaining the game state on the main control means 50 side and its transition in the fourth embodiment. In the main control means 50, in addition to the normal (normal) replay, a rare replay (including duplicate winning with the normal replay) is provided.

The main control means 50 continues to stay in the RT1 game during the non-ART game. Similar to the first embodiment, the sub-control means 80 executes a lottery of an ART game during the RT1 game.
Next, when the sub-control means 80 wins the ART game, the sub-control means 80 notifies an irregular push (other than the first left stop) when the rare replay is won. When the stop switch 42 is operated by pressing a predetermined irregularity at the time of winning the real play, the reel 31 is controlled to stop so that the promotion replay wins. When the promotion replay wins, the main control means 50 shifts the gaming state from the RT1 game to the RT2 game.

"Rare Replay Winning"
a) A single type of rare replay, in which a promotion replay wins in a predetermined push order, and a promotion replay missed point (falling stop appearance) is stopped and displayed in a push order other than the predetermined push order. If
b) Duplicate winnings of two or more types of rare replays or overlapping winnings of one or more types of rare replays and normal replays, where a promoted replay wins in a predetermined push order, and in a push order other than the predetermined push order For example, a fall replay (including a normal replay equivalent to a fall replay) wins.

  Further, in the RT2 game, when the lottery of the rare replay is continued and the game is shifted to the ART game, the sub-control means 80 notifies a predetermined irregular pressing when the rare replay is won. When the stop switch 42 is operated in the pushing order, the reel 31 is controlled to stop so that the promotion replay wins. Here, when the promotion replay wins, the main control means 50 shifts the gaming state from the RT2 game to the RT3 game.

  In the above game state transition, when an ART game is won during RT1 game, a predetermined push order is notified at the time of replay winning or small role 3A winning until the transition from RT1 game to RT3 game. The count value of the main counter 70a is controlled to be “+40”.

  The main control means 50 determines that the ART game has started when the game state has shifted to the RT3 game and the count value of the main counter 70a is equal to or greater than “+40”, executes the ART start freeze, Send an end signal.

After the transition to the RT3 game (only when the count value of the main counter 70a is “+40” or more at the time of transition to the RT3 game), the main control means 50 has the count value of the main counter 70a “0”. When this happens, ART end freeze is executed.
However, the main control means 50 continues to stay in the RT3 game unless the fall replay wins. Only when a fall replay wins an RT3 game will the player transition to the RT1 game.

  On the other hand, the sub control means 80 ends the ART game when the count value of the sub counter 82a becomes “0”. Thereby, from the next game, at the time of the rare replay win, the push order notification for avoiding the falling replay winning and the push order notification for receiving the 9 payouts at the time of winning the small role 3A are not performed. Therefore, the transition of the gaming state by the main control means 50 (transition from the RT3 game to the RT1 game) and the end timing of the ART game by the sub-control means 80 do not necessarily coincide.

  If the RT1 game is not selected for the ART game lottery and the player enters the RT1 game by chance when the promoted replay wins at the time of the rare replay win due to a mistaken operation of the stop switch 42 of the player, etc. Since the means 80 determines that the ART is not being prepared, no notification is made. As a result, the winning probability of the fall replay is increased when the rare replay selected in the RT1 game is won, so that the possibility of falling to the RT1 game before the transition to the RT3 game is increased.

  Even if accidents overlap and the ART game is not won, there is a case where the transition is made from RT1 game → RT2 game → RT3 game. The count value of 70a is discriminated. If the count value is not "+40" or more, control is performed so as not to perform the ART start freeze.

  In particular, as in this embodiment, a penalty is generated at the middle or right first stop, and if the fall replay is set to win at the first left stop when winning the rare replay, Since the fall replay can be won in the game, the possibility of shifting to the RT3 game can be set low.

As mentioned above, although one Embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, The following various deformation | transformation are possible.
(1) In this embodiment, when a rare small role is won in an AT game, the number of games is added uniformly or by lottery. However, when the number of remaining AT games is small, for example, when the number of remaining AT games is 5 games or less, it is set so that the number of games is not added at all even when a rare small role is won.
