Description

The present invention is related to slot machines.

  Conventionally, as this type of slot machine, an internal lottery is performed to determine whether or not a winning is allowed, and when winning is won in this internal lottery, for example, a variable display device composed of a plurality of reels is won. Controls to ensure that symbol combinations corresponding to winnings are aligned, and controls not to match symbol combinations corresponding to winnings that have not been won in the internal lottery. Is common.

  As described above, as a method for controlling the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination according to the result of the internal lottery, for example, a symbol to be stopped at a reference position is determined at each stop operation timing. The reel table is stored in advance, and when the stop operation is performed, the reel table corresponding to the lottery result of the game is referred to, and the symbols determined on the reel table at the timing when the stop operation is performed There is a method of performing control to stop at a reference position.

  Also, if the reel table is first determined for all reels, there is a problem that the output becomes monotonous. Therefore, the reel table is selected for all reels at the start of reel rotation, and one of the reels is selected. When the stop operation is performed, the reel table is controlled with reference to the reel table of the reel. Then, when one of the reels stops, a stop position of the stopped reel for the unstopped reel, that is, a reel table corresponding to the display result of the stopped reel is selected and changed to the selected reel table, There has been proposed a slot machine in which the reel control can be changed according to the display result of the stopped reel (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

The power supply board 100 sets a winning probability for an internal lottery to be described later, and a setting switch 91 and a setting switch 91 for changing setting values (setting 1 to setting 6) of medal payout rates calculated based on the probability. the setting key switch 92 to enable operation, are respectively connected to the main switch 94 to perform the second reset switch 93 and oN / OFF switching of the power supply, to reset the internal state (RAM 112), the detection signal of these switches Is sent to the game control board 101. These switches 91 to 94 are provided inside the slot machine 1.

When the setting key switch 92 is turned on and the power is turned on, a setting change mode in which a setting value can be changed is set. When the setting switch 91 is operated in the setting change mode, the setting value is updated one by one (when further operation is performed from the setting 6, the setting is returned to the setting 1). Then, when the setting key switch 92 is turned OFF after the start lever 11 is operated, the determined setting value after the change is stored in the setting value work 112-4. Then, the state shifts to a state in which the game can proceed.

As described above, when the game can be progressed, the game processing is repeated one by one in the slot machine 1. Below, a description will be given to each game in the slot machine 1. The “game” in the slot machine 1 is, in a narrow sense, from the operation of the start lever 11 to the stop of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R. Since the bet number before the operation is set, the medals are paid out and the game state is shifted after the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R are stopped, these accompanying processes are also included in the “game” in a broad sense. . It should be noted that the transmission of commands from the game control board 101 to the effect control board 102 will be described only for those necessary for the description of the present invention, and the description of the transmission of other commands will be omitted.

When the lottery process is completed, a reel rotation process is performed (step S404). In the reel rotation process, the reel motor is operated on the condition that a predetermined time (for example, 4.1 seconds) has elapsed from the start of rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R in the previous game. 3ML, 3MC, and 3MR are driven to start rotation of all the left, middle, and right reels 3L, 3C, and 3R. When predetermined conditions (detection of the reference position by the reel sensors 3SL, 3SC, 3SR after the rotation speed reaches a certain speed) from the start of rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R are satisfied, the stop buttons 12L, 12C, 12R Is enabled. Thereafter, when the stop buttons 12L, 12C, and 12R are operated by the player, the driving of the reel motors 3ML, 3MC, and 3MR is stopped according to the setting state of the winning flag, and the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R is stopped. . Details of the reel rotation process will be described later.

If the received command type is the winning information command transmitted in step S818, the winning information indicated by the received winning information command is stored in the RAM 122 (step S1012). Here, if the winning some role has occurred, the image displays a in a manner that depends on the type of role that the pay on the LCD display 4, a speaker 7L, 7R, to output the sound from the 7U, The game effect LEDs 75A to 75M are turned on, the reel lamp 3LP is turned on, and the effect determined according to the type of winning combination is executed (step S1013).

In the above-described embodiment, for example, when the watermelon + bell is won, the control content for preferentially winning a watermelon with a large number of payout medals is written in the stop control table. Of course, if there is a possibility that a small combination with a large number of payout medals may be awarded due to the relationship between the symbol arrangement on the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R and the combination of winning combinations, the control content written in the stop control table is not necessarily limited. may not be construed Ru more small winning combination of the payout number of medals is derived by preference, less small combination of the payout number of medals may be a control content to be derived by priority.

Even when the gaming state is in the first RT or the second RT, the internal lottery is performed by the same method as in the normal gaming state. However, in the small role table used in the first RT, the small role in the normal gaming state is used. The range of determination values that are selected for Replay B are included in the range that is lost in the table and that overlaps the range that is lost in the bonus table. The small prize table used in the first 2RT, the range of the determining value as a winning replay A is a range that is the loss in small win table ordinary gaming state in a range that is the loss in the bonus table It extends to the overlapping range. The bonus table is commonly used in the normal gaming state, the first RT, and the second RT.

In this modification, the random numbers for internal lottery used for the determination of winning of special roles and the random numbers for internal lottery used for determination of winning of non-special roles were the same, but different random numbers were used. Also good. Also, regular bonus winning flag, big bonus (1) winning flag or regardless big bonus (2) whether Luke have winning flag is carried over, the normal gaming state, in the first 1RT or the 2RT small combination The lottery is performed using both the winning determination table and the bonus winning determination table, and the regular bonus winning flag, big bonus (1) winning flag, or big bonus (2) winning flag is carried over from the previous game. When the regular bonus, the big bonus (1), or the big bonus (2) is won during the game, the winning may be invalidated.
