Description

The present invention relates to a slot machine, in particular while controlling so that the number of games that a particular state is continued a plurality of types, to a slot machine for executing a specific effect that indicates the likelihood that a particular state is continued.

The present invention provides a separator game that is also likely to continue possibly also the specific state that a particular state is terminated, in addition to that a particular state is continued, the special decision to control the special state It is an object to provide a slot machine that can be expected to be.

To achieve the above object, a slot machine according to the present invention includes:
Each comprises a variable display unit a plurality of kinds of the identification information change can be displayed can be identified, after changing display of said variable display unit derives a display result by stopping the variable display of the variable display unit, In a slot machine (slot machine 1) that can generate a prize according to the display result,
Before Viewing the results are derived, pre determining means for determining a display result derived is acceptable: the (CPU 111 internal lottery (Figure 7)),
The pre deriving control means determining means according to the determination result to derive the display result on the variable display device: and (CPU 111 reels 3L, 3C, stop control of the 3R),
After being special decision to control the advantageous special state for the player, the special state control means for controlling the special state: and (CPU 111 advantageously RT is terminated by the bonus winning),
The preferred specific state for different player special state (ART, RT (Modification)) continuation number of games, the first number of games (by one AT right number ends in 50 games ART, 50 First RT that continues the game (modified example)) and a second game number that is larger than the first game number (ART that ends in 100 games due to the number of two AT rights, second RT that continues 100 games (modified example)) DOO and over the number one game selected from a plurality of types of game numbers including specific state control means for controlling said specific state (CPU 121, CPU 111 (modification)),
Special notification execution means (CPU 121) for executing a special notification (bonus notification) indicating that the special decision has been made;
50 game in the number digestion game from a particular state to a controlled start game based on the first number of games become separated game (1 AT right AT, 50 game in the first 1RT or the 2RT (Modification )) the specific effect that indicates the possibility that the specific state is continued even after the (a tilt effect), the predetermined game after the a small number of predetermined game than digested game number number the first game from the start the game A specific effect execution means (CPU 121) that is executed in a specific effect period (two games) that is a period and a period before the break game,
The special notification executing means includes
When the special decision is made in a first period that is a period after the start game and before the specific game in which the number of digest games from the start game is less than the predetermined game number, The special notification is executed without delay until the break game in the specific performance period,
When the special decision is made in the second period that is a period after the specific game and before the predetermined game, the special notification is not executed in the second period, The special notice is executed with a delay until the delimiter game (when a bonus is won after the 41st game of AT, a bonus notice is given at the end of the roaring effect (FIGS. 10 and 11))
It is characterized by that.

The slot machine is controlled to the special state after the special decision to control the special state is made . Here, when a special decision is made, a special notification is executed.

Although this special state may be controlled to an advantageous specific state for different player and, as a continuation number of games in this particular state, the first specific form is first number game on purpose, there are number of a plurality of types of games including a second number of game more than this. Then, the specific effect period until delimiter game number digestion game from the start the game, which is controlled to a specific state a first number of games (possibly a particular state to end also is a possibility to continue), the specific Production is to be executed.
In this way, in the specific state, the specific state is continued until the game after the end of the division game by executing the specific production in the specific production period that is the period before the division game (that is, the second game number). It can be expected from the player. Furthermore, when a special decision is made in the second period, which is a period after the specific game and before the predetermined game, the execution of the special notification is delayed until the delimiter game. For this reason, in the delimited game, not only the specific state is expected to be continued by the specific effect, but also the player is expected to perform a special notification (that is, confirmation that a special decision has been made). It becomes possible to improve the interest of the game.
Moreover, the execution of the special notification is delayed until the delimiter game only when a special decision is made in the second period. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the number of games from being excessively increased after the special determination is made until the special notification is executed.

  Note that the specific effect period, which is a period before the delimited game in which the specific effect executing means executes the specific effect, may be a period of only one game or a period of a plurality of games.
  In addition, the number of games in the second period is preferably a number of games that is not very close to the number of first games, and for example, it is preferable that the number of games be determined within a range of half or less of the number of first games.
  Further, the control to the specific state may be based on the determination by the prior determination unit. That is, by determining that the derivation of the display result of the predetermined type among the plurality of types of display results is permitted (and on the condition that the display result of the predetermined type is derived), A determination regarding control may be made. But the control to the said specific state is good also as what is performed irrespective of the determination of the said prior determination means.

  The slot machine is
  In addition, a stop operation means (stop buttons 12L, 12C, 12R) operated by a player to stop the variation display of the identification information is provided,
  The derivation control unit may further derive the display result according to an operation procedure of the stop operation unit.
  In the above slot machine,
  The pre-determining means determines whether to permit derivation of a special display result accompanied by the transition to the special state;
  The special state control means can control the special state until a predetermined special end condition is satisfied after the special display result is derived.

The slot machine is
Advantageous state control means for controlling the advantageous state advantageous to the player over a predetermined normal state;
Normal state control means for controlling to the normal state when an end display result that can be derived by the derivation control means is derived on the condition that the determination result of the prior determination means has become a specific result in the advantageous state When,
A notification period control means for controlling the notification condition at a predetermined opportunity in the progress of the game, and controlling the notification period to notify the predetermined information according to the notification condition;
On the condition that the notification period is controlled among the periods controlled to the advantageous state, when the determination result of the pre-decision means becomes the specific result, information on the specific result corresponding to the specific result is displayed. An informing means for informing may be provided. In this case,
The derivation control means displays the end display result when the determination result of the prior determination means becomes the specific result, and when the stop operation means is operated in an end procedure corresponding to the specific result. There line control to lead, when the termination procedure differs avoidance procedures in the stop operation unit corresponding to the identification result has been operated, have lines control to derive the completion display result displayed differently result,
In the period controlled to the advantageous state, the notification period control means sets the notification condition so as to be more advantageous to the player than in the normal state except for the notification period. It can be.

In the above slot machine,
The specific state (ART), the predetermination is that which allows the derivation of the can be performed next game without using the value for a game to bet the number of settings replay display result (replay) or as including replay high probability state (advantageous RT) to increase the probability determined by the means. here,
The specific state control means, when the instruction to permit the derivation of the special display results determined by the predetermination means, wherein to end the replay high probability state, different from the該再gaming high probability state Second replay high probability state control means for controlling to a second replay high probability state (internal RT) that increases the probability that the predetermination means determines that the derivation of the replay display result is allowed; May be included.

In the above slot machine,
The specific state, the Display results as the first specific display result is controlled in response to the (first 1RT symbol, big bonus (1)) is derived, the first specific state to continue only the first number of games When, the first specific display results to differ second specific display results (first 2RT symbol, big bonus (2)) is controlled in response to that is derived, second specific state to continue only the second number of games Including
The specific state control means, the first specific form on purpose, to be controlled in any of the on purpose the second specific shape,
Before SL possible control is performed in the period from after the first specific display results were derived before than the said delimiting game, than the said delimiter game from after the second specific display result is derived It can be made common to the control that can be executed in the previous period (when the first RT symbol is derived and when the second RT symbol is derived, the effect executed and the number of medals paid out are the same) (Modified example) When the big bonus (1) is won and when the big bonus (2) is won, the effect to be executed and the gameability of the controlled big bonus are the same (modified example).

Here, the on purpose second specific shape is derived when the first specific shape on purpose second specific display results to be controlled is derived when the first specific display result is derived is continued number games are different The control that can be executed in the period after the first specific display result is derived and before the break game is performed is the period from the second specific display result is derived and before the break game. There is no difference from the control that can be executed in. That is, the player misses which of the first specific display result and the second specific display result is derived (for example, the type of the specific display result is distinguished by the combination of identification information, the shape of the pay line, etc.). as the premise of the constitution can) be the ones hard to, it is possible to obscure the number of games that a particular state to continue.

Incidentally, the specific state may be a state like that the special state is controlled after completion. In this case, the first specific display result and the second specific display result can both be the special display result (however, the types are different from each other). The first specific display results in a special display result specially shaped controlled by derivation of on purpose, a special state controlled by derivation of the second specific display results in a special display results, the same state it can be (only certain state that is subsequently controlled are different) to.

The slot machine is
When a predetermined favorable conditions (derivation of the special outcome) is satisfied, the advantageous advantageous state for different player special state advantageous state control means for controlling the (preferably RT) (CPU 111),
When the advantageous state the special display results different predetermined disadvantageous display results as the Display results in a given state, including the (falling replay) is derived, adverse adverse conditions (normal game state for the player ) adverse state control means for controlling the (CPU 111) and can be made further comprising. here,
The derivation control means derives the disadvantage display result on condition that a predetermined disadvantage determination (normal replay + falling replay, normal replay + falling replay + BAR replay) is performed by the prior determination means (FIG. 8). ),
The specific state, the unfavorable determination avoids the specific information capable operating procedures stop operation means for avoiding the derivation of adverse display results based on said non interest determined when made procedure notification means (CPU 121 it can be assumed to be state-like to inform the).

Here, those strictly internal to be controlled to a specific state, since there is no definitely shown that the player, and that the number of games that a particular state continues confusing to the player.

Incidentally, the specific state control means may be such that carried over a plurality of decision about continuing number of games for a specific state (a particular decision). Here, the specific state control means may be by the number corresponding to the number of specific decisions that are carried over the game continues and controls the specific state. In this case, (the N, natural number) N pieces the number continued game specific state that is controlled continuously based on the particular rights as a first number of games, the particular that is continuously controlled on the basis of the (N + 1) of the specific rights the number continuation game state may be a second number of games.

In this case, the slot machine is
After the special state has ended, the initial state the control means but is disadvantageous for the player than該特another state to control the initial state (ready mode) the predetermined advantageous conditions can be satisfied with (CPU 111) In addition,
The predetermined state may be as further including the initial state. here,
The initial state is, that the effect of controlling the specific state is determined as a condition by the specific determination means, the derivation of adverse display results based on said non interest determined when the unfavorable determination is made it can be a procedure of operation the stop operation means for avoiding those that are state-like for informing the identifiable information to avoid steps notification means (CPU 121) when the (aT has been granted one or more In the preparation mode, the winning of the fall replay is notified).

In this case, when it is controlled advantageously state and when it is controlled to the initial state, the notification of the information for specifying the operation procedure by avoiding steps informing means if the specific rights granted performed, since it is possible to avoid the control of the adverse state, it can be given a sharp the benefits arising to the player by the presence or absence of a particular right.

In the above slot machine,
The specific effect period may be a period of a plurality of games up to the break game. In this case,
The slot machine is
A continuous effect execution unit that includes the specific effect execution unit and the special notification execution unit, executes a continuous effect that continues in a specific effect period of the plurality of games (two games), and notifies an effect result of the continuous effect; It may be provided. In this case,
The continuous effect executing means executes the specific effect by the specific effect executing means in a portion before the notification of the effect result of the continuous effects, and in the notification of the effect result of the continuous effect, It can also be made to execute the special notification from continuing broadcast, or the special notification executing unit indicating that the specific state is continued after (Figure 11).

In this case, not only say also to be expected that it is specially determined in separated game, the specific effect to be executed by the specific effect period of the plurality game until said separator games, special and continuation of the specific state The player can be expected to make a decision, and the fun of the game can be further improved.

In this case,
The continuous presentation execution section, perform the notification to the effect that the specific state is not continued after the delimiter game in informing the direction outcome of the continuous effect, performing the special notification by the special notification executing unit (FIG. 11).

In this case, the player who was disappointed that those state does not continue, because it gives a sense of expectation that you are a special decision, as expectations given to a player is felt largely in especially It is possible to further improve the interest of the game.

As shown in the drawing, “JAC” is arranged at intervals of 5 frames or less with respect to any of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R. For the left reel 3L, three “bells” and “cherries” are arranged at intervals of 7 frames. Regarding the inner reel 3 </ b> C, “☆” are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or less. For the left and right reels 3L and 3R, only one “red 7”, “white 7”, and “BAR” are arranged, and the arrangement interval between them is 7 frames.

In addition, the winning probabilities of the nine winning combinations (1) to (9) in the normal gaming state, the preparation mode, the advantageous RT and the internal RT are 1000/65536 = 1 / 65.536, respectively. If you are elected to the 9th choice (1)-(9), and you try to win it (you do this in the normal gaming state, advantageous RT and internal RT), you do not know which is won For example, it is possible to win only with the same 1 / 65.536 probability as the winning probability. 9択役(1) to any Luca understand have won the (9), suitably stop button 12L accordingly, 12C, assuming that can operate the 12R, 9 × 1000/65536 ≒ 1 / It is possible to win with a probability of 7.28.

On the other hand, in the preparation mode, it is advantageous for the player because it is controlled to be advantageous RT that the special outcome is derived without winning a prize even if 9 winning combinations (1) to (9) are won. , 9択役(1) to any on have Luke understand winning of (9), suitably (here, dare sense that lose information) accordingly that could stop button 12L in, 12C, 12R operations If you, although it is possible to derive a special outcome with a probability of 9 × 1000/65536 ≒ 1 / 7.28, 9択役(1) to (9) either to not know Luca has won the However, it is possible to derive a special outcome with a probability of 8 × 1000 / 65536≈1 / 8.19.

In addition, the number of times controlled to advantageous RT (advantageous RT) while the gaming state is controlled only during the big mode, regular bonus or advantageous RT without being controlled to the normal gaming state, or between the preparation mode and the internal medium RT. If the number of reams exceeds 5 and the net increase exceeds 1000, the music played and output in the big bonus, regular bonus, or advantageous RT becomes the premier bonus medium music and the premier advantageous RT medium music, respectively. Be changed. In this way, if the number of advantageous RT consecutive villas exceeds five times , the music with the premier bonus RT and the music with the premier advantageous RT are reproduced and output, so that the player who has increased the number of advantageous RT consecutive villas is very satisfied. be able to.

Further, the RAM 112 of the game control board 101 is initialized by changing the set value, but the value of the counter for counting the number of steps of the stepping motors that respectively constitute the reel motors 3ML, 3MC, and 3MR is not initialized. . For this reason, even after the set value is changed, the number of steps of the stepping motor (the number of steps counted by the counter of the RAM 112) constituting each of the reel motors 3ML, 3MC, 3MR grasped by the CPU 111 is different from the actual number of steps. can be prevented without the reels 3L and excitation phase of the pulse signal are different, 3C, that 3R that are smoothly change the setting value to scratches rotation start it would be perceive the player.

Further, the external output board 105 outputs a medal IN signal collectively when the start lever 11 is operated. When the outputs of the medal IN signal every time the insertion of medals to be set as a bet number is the number of bets that have already been set is canceled by the operation of the payment button 16, Ri collected output medals IN signal vanishing tooth becomes necessary. The medal IN signal is output when the bet number is set from the credit by operating the single BET button 14 or the MAX BET button 15 and when the actual bet is set from the medal slot 13 To do this, a separate program is required. By outputting the medal IN signal collectively when the start lever 11 is operated as in the slot machine 1 according to this embodiment, such inconvenience can be prevented.

In the above embodiment, the RAM 112 of the game control board 101 is initialized by changing the set value. However, the counter for counting the number of steps of the stepping motors constituting the reel motors 3ML, 3MC, and 3MR, respectively. Only the value was not initialized. Thus, it was intended to prevent that the reels 3L after changing settings, 3C, that 3R is smoothly change the setting value to scratches rotation start would be perceive the player.
